QUALITATIVE SCREENING METHOD FOR IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF UNCERTAIN BUILDING GEOMETRY ON THERMAL ENERGY DEMAND PREDICTIONS
Authors: Wate P. , Coors V. , Robinson D. , Iglesias M.
Published: October 2016

Abstract. Virtual 3D models of cities are now being extensively employed for the estimation of thermal energy demand at varying spatial and temporal scales. Efforts in preparing and management of the datasets required for the simulations have reached an advanced stage. Thus allowing to perform city scale simulations using simplified thermal energy balance models. However, the uncertainty inherent in datasets and the reliability of their data sources are often not given due consideration. Such consideration to the uncertainty problem would need a paradigm shift in simulation practices from a single value assignment to uncertainty characterization followed by assessment of qualitative and quantitative impact on the simulation results. The proposed study establishes a mechanism to handle the uncertainty arising from the building geometry reconstruction process and its possible consequences on the thermal energy demand calculations.
ESTIMATION OF SOLAR ENERGY ON VERTICAL 3D BUILDING WALLS ON CITY QUARTER SCALE
Authors: Jaugsch F. , Löwner M.-O.
Published: October 2016

Abstract. In urban areas, solar energy is one promising source of renewable energy to achieve the EU parliament’s goal of reducing CO2 emissions by 20 % compared to 1990. Although annual radiation on vertical walls is lower than that on roof surfaces, they are larger in area and, therefore may contribute to energy production. On the other hand, the modelling of shadowing effects is cost intensive in an complex urban environment. Here we present a method for the calculation of solar potential on vertical walls for simple 2D maps with additional building height information. We introduced observer point columns that enable a fast decision whether a whole vertical set of observer points is illuminated or not. By the introduction of a maximum shade length, we reduce processing time in ArcGIS. 206,291 points of 130 buildings have been analysed in time steps of 15 minutes resulting in 15 769 pairs of solar angles. Results disprove the potential of vertical walls serving to fill the winter gap of roof mounted solar energy plants. Best wall orientation for the deployment of solar panels are west and east in summer, whereas it is southeast in winter.
3D NETWORK ANALYSIS FOR INDOOR SPACE APPLICATIONS
Authors: Tsiliakou E. , Dimopoulou E.
Published: October 2016

Abstract. Indoor space differs from outdoor environments, since it is characterized by a higher level of structural complexity, geometry, as well as topological relations. Indoor space can be considered as the most important component in a building’s conceptual modelling, on which applications such as indoor navigation, routing or analysis are performed. Therefore, the conceptual meaning of sub spaces or the activities taking place in physical building boundaries (e.g. walls), require the comprehension of the building’s indoor hierarchical structure. The scope of this paper is to perform 3D network analysis in a building’s interior and is structured as follows: In Section 1 the definition of indoor space is provided and indoor navigation requirements are analysed. Section 2 describes the processes of indoor space modeling, as well as routing applications. In Section 3, a case study is examined involving a 3D building model generated in CityEngine (exterior shell) and ArcScene (interior parts), in which the use of commercially available software tools (ArcGIS, ESRI), in terms of indoor routing and 3D network analysis, are explored. The fundamentals of performing 3D analysis with the ArcGIS Network Analyst extension were tested. Finally a geoprocessing model was presented, which was specifically designed to be used to interactively find the best route in ArcScene. The paper ends with discussion and concluding remarks on Section 4.

Authors: Lopes Eduardo da Silva , Vieira Thábata Palma , Rodrigues Carla Krulikowski
Published: October 2016

Este trabalho objetivou realizar uma avaliação técnica e de custos do transporte florestal rodoviário com diferentes espécies e sortimentos de madeira. O estudo foi realizado com dados obtidos em uma empresa transportadora localizada no estado do Paraná. Foi analisado o ciclo operacional do transporte de madeira, determinando a disponibilidade mecânica, a eficiência operacional, a produtividade e os custos do veículo “bitrem” transportando toras de Eucalyptus sp. e Pinus sp. com 3,60 e 7,20 m de comprimento. Os resultados mostraram que os tempos consumidos pelos veículos nas filas de espera para o carregamento e descarregamento influenciou na redução da produtividade e no aumento dos custos do transporte. O comprimento da madeira é uma variável que afetou diretamente as operações de carregamento e descarregamento.

Published: October 2016

The increasing importance of secondary forests all over the world alerts us to the urgent need to understand the biophysical and social underlying factors that affect its regeneration after the abandonment of agricultural practices and natural disturbances. In the state of Amapá, studies related to the structure of secondary forests are still scarce. Therefore, this article aims to characterize the floristic composition and structure in two stretches of secondary forest in the eastern Amazon, state of Amapá. For the floristic and phytosociological study of tree species, 10 plots of 10 x 100 m (1.0 ha) were established: five plots in the community of São Francisco do Iratapuru and five plots in the community of Santo Antônio waterfall, totaling half a hectare (0,5 ha) in each area. In all plots, subjects with diameter at breast height (DBH) ≥ 5 cm were considered. In total, 1,183 subjects were sampled in the two stretches of forest. In stretch 01, 565 subjects belonging to 74 species, 55 genera and 33 families were recorded. In stretch 02, 618 subjects belonging to 26 species, 23 genera and 15 families were recorded. The Shannon diversity index (H'), estimated for stretch 1, was 3.52; and for stretch 2 (2.23). The two studied stretches, despite being registered at the same age, showed significant difference in the species richness, which is the major factor for diversity differences, resulting in low similarity between the studied forests.

Published: October 2016

O Brasil, pelo seu clima tropical e ampla área territorial, possui grande potencial para ampliar a sua participação no mercado de mel. A produção de mel, tal como de outros produtos não madeireiros, apresentam vantagens sociais e ambientais, pois proporciona a geração de renda em pequenas propriedades rurais sem a necessidade do desmatamento da floresta. Porém, o mercado internacional de mel ainda é pouco explorado pelo Brasil e o seu desenvolvimento ainda carece de informações. Este artigo analisa a competitividade das exportações brasileiras do mel natural por meio do conhecimento das elasticidades de substituição. As relações Brasil–Argentina e Brasil–China, maiores exportadores de mel natural, apontaram diferenciação por produto, pois apresentaram elasticidades substituição inelástica, indicando que os países importadores de mel natural compram tal produto associando-o ao país de origem. Nas relações entre Brasil-Alemanha, Brasil–México e Brasil-Hungria a magnitude dos coeficientes da elasticidade de substituição aponta para a existência de competitividade entre o Brasil e os citados países via preço do mel, e não há diferenciação do produto por país de origem. Por outro lado, as relações Brasil-Canadá e Brasil-Espanha apresentam coeficientes de elasticidade de substituição não significativos estatisticamente, o que indica ausência ou baixa competição do mel natural brasileiro com o produto Canadense e o Espanhol. Neste caso, conclui-se que, com relação a Argentina, China, Canadá e Espanha a expansão na participação de mercado via redução de preço mostra-se ineficaz.

Published: October 2016

Cultivos consorciados surgem como alternativa para a implantação ou manutenção da recuperação de Matas Ciliares. Este estudo teve como objetivo comparar o plantio misto de espécies arbóreas, com o sistema Taungya na revegetação de mata ciliar do Rio Paraíba do Sul, região Noroeste Fluminense, bem como o comportamento das espécies pioneiras e não pioneiras. Foi determinado ainda o impacto econômico da consorciação na restauração de matas ciliares nos primeiros nove meses após a implantação. Os tratamentos foram dispostos em blocos ao acaso com dois sistemas de plantio em 4 repetições. O sistema de Taungya consistiu no cultivo de espécies agrícolas nas entrelinhas das espécies arbóreas. Foram avaliados altura, diâmetro à altura do colo, diâmetro de copa, cobertura de copas, índice de sobrevivência e o impacto econômico da consorciação na recuperação de matas ciliares. Não foi observado influência dos sistemas de plantio convencional e Taungya no incremento relativo em altura e em diâmetro à altura do colo para a maioria das espécies arbóreas avaliadas, oito meses após o plantio. As espécies pioneiras apresentaram maior área de copa e consequente cobertura de área, em relação às espécies tardias, nos dois sistemas. No sistema Taungya, a receita obtida a partir da produção agrícola no primeiro ano de implantação do experimento representou 13% do custo total de implantação do projeto de reflorestamento.

Published: October 2016

O objetivo do trabalho foi gerar conhecimento científico que contribua para a melhor eficiência dos parâmetros envolvidos na usinagem a partir de diferentes métodos para qualificação da superfície usinada e avaliar o uso das espécies de Eucalyptus e Corymbia na produção de piso, como também, analisar a relação da densidade e desvio da grã com a rugosidade da madeira. Foram utilizadas as espécies E. dunnii, E. urophylla, E. grandis, C. citriodora e C. maculata, todas com 37 anos. Para o ensaio de usinagem foram utilizados corpos de prova com dimensões de 800 x 100 x 25 mm, velocidades de avanço de 15 e 30 m*min-1 e velocidade de corte da ferramenta de 18 e 25 m*s-1. Foi realizada a qualificação da superfície usinada por meio do avanço por dente, análise visual e parâmetros de rugosidade, sendo realizado também a relação da densidade e desvio da grã com a rugosidade da madeira. As madeiras de todas as espécies foram classificadas como ruim e muito ruim pela qualificação visual, os valores de avanço por dente foram acima dos indicados para pisos de madeira. Os menores valores dos parâmetros de rugosidade foram obtidos nas madeiras com maior densidade e menor desvio da grã. Ao utilizar os diferentes métodos de qualificação de superfícies nas madeiras de Eucalyptus e Corymbia, observou-se baixo potencial para utilizar essas madeiras em pisos. No entanto, é necessário que sejam realizados outros estudos com diferentes velocidades de avanço e de corte para verificar a possibilidade de melhoria nas qualidades superficiais dessas madeiras.
EFEITO DE 6-BENZILAMINOPURINA E ÁCIDO NAFTALENOACÉTICO SOBRE A PROPAGAÇÃO in vitro DE Hancornia speciosa
Authors: Oliveira Kívia Soares de , Freire Fúlvio Aurélio de Morais , Aloufa Magdi Ahmed Ibrahim
Published: October 2016

A mangabeira (Hancornia speciosa Gomes) é uma espécie arbórea nativa do Nordeste, de grande importância socioeconômica, ambiental e medicinal. Na última década, a intensificação da ação antrópica vem contribuindo para a redução significativa de suas áreas remanescentes, e, consequentemente, de sua diversidade genética, o que justifica a realização de estudos relacionados à propagação da espécie. O objetivo deste trabalho foi testar o efeito de diferentes concentrações de 6-benzilaminopurina (BAP) e ácido naftalenoacético (ANA) sobre a indução de brotações em explantes nodais de mangabeira. Estes foram obtidos de plântulas germinadas in vitro e inoculados em meio MS básico e MS suplementado com: 1,5; 2,5 e 3,5 mg.L-1 de BAP e 0,1 e 0,5 mg.L-1 de ANA e mantidos em sala de crescimento, durante 30 dias sob condições controladas de temperatura, fotoperíodo e luminosidade. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado com doze tratamentos, e três repetições, sendo cada repetição composta por 10 unidades experimentais. As variáveis observadas foram: formação de brotos, número de brotos por explante, presença de calos, contaminação e sobrevivência. Os dados foram avaliados estatisticamente através da análise de modelo linear generalizado. Os resultados indicaram diferença significativa entre os tratamentos com os reguladores de crescimento vegetal, para todas as variáveis. Dessa forma, na ausência de BAP e ANA os explantes apresentam-se mais responsivos em relação à taxa de multiplicação e ao número de brotações, sendo, portanto, desnecessário o uso desses reguladores de crescimento para a propagação in vitro de mangabeira.

Published: October 2016

Learning and education gradually occupy an important place in human life. Therefore, continuing socio-political and economic changes, rapid scientific and technological development, the expansion of knowledge, formed the phenomenon of the learning society. Its theoretical basis can be found in the concept of learning in the course of a lifetime, example: permanent learning and education in the aging process. On the other hand, the rapid changes taking place in the world, seeking to know the day is increasing. In the center of a thriving economy and a developed society are knowledge and ability, and education and learning become the instrument that. key socio-economic progress. Nevertheless, shorter working hours and longer life expectancy retirement also increases the amount of time available for other activities. In all areas, there are more opportunities for learning outside the school, and qualifications, in the traditional sense of getting out in front of new trends competence and adaptability. Adults who are constantly in the process of aging, the process of continuing education and learning are significantly different quality in relation to children, therefore it is necessary and a different approach to the children, and a different approach to teaching adults in the era of change, due to life and work experience, educational level, psychological and physical characteristics but also because of their social status. This paper will be an attempt, which will show the theoretical analysis of many aspects of learning, types, shapes, possibilities and limits of learning, the basic needs of adults in the aging process, as well as provide answers to the question why a grown man in the aging process learns who the person in the learning process and learning how to function in a process of aging.
Notes on communication Nevesinje-Anderba and settlements near the road
Authors: Samardžić Gligor
Published: October 2016

In this paper we have presented the data regarding the Roman communication Nevesinje-Anderba (East Herzegovina) and the settlements near the road. From Nevesinje the road led eastern towards Gacko and there it was bifurcated. One siding led towards east for Anderba, and the other towards north, deeper in Dalmatia, towards Podrinje. Archeological founds from Gacko and Nevesinje proved that this area relatively early was connected with the network of Roman communications. Roman settlements in the area of Nevesinje and Gacko were found on numerous locations. Population density of this area (remnants of Roman settlements) and archeological founds (remnants of the road and mileposts) proved the existence of communication which spread from Nevesinje towards Gacko, and further over the verge of Gatacko Polje, Avtovac, Kazanci and from this point the communication entered the territory of Montenegro. From the town of Niksic in Montenegro the road was connected with the communication Narona-Scodra.
Crime of the KLA: Shelling Serbian market in the village Bresje
Authors: Đokić Bojan
Published: October 2016

After completion of the NATO aggression on Yugoslavia started much suffering of the Serbian and other minority communities in Kosovo and Metohija. Members of the Albanian paramilitary formations were escorted planning organized violence and terror, and for ethnic cleansing and destruction of the Serbian people in this region. The agreement that was signed between KFOR and the so-called KLA 'The agreement K + 90' enabled the KLA carried out violence and terror against minority populations. One of the crimes that have taken place after the so-called the demilitarization of the KLA was an attack with explosives on the Serbian market in the village Bresje 28 September 1999. The crime was ethnically motivated to intimidate, pressure and the like oppression and ethnic cleansing of the Serbian population in Kosovo and Metohija. On the Serbian market in the village Bresje, where there were several hundred civilians were fired two grenades. This crime has produced three deaths and several dozen persons were injured. KFOR soon arrived at the scene and the injured persons drove in the Russian hospital in Kosovo Polje. The attack is the intention of the Albanian paramilitaries to kill large numbers of civilians of Serbian nationality, which would produce feelings of fear, anxiety, insecurity and inequality, and led to the displacement of a large number of people. When it comes to Serbian victims in Kosovo and Metohija justice remains blind, and so for this crime no one has been prosecuted. For the investigation of the crime was in charge of UNMIK police, with the assistance of KFOR. Immediately after the shelling of the market, were arrested two ethnic Albanians who were suspected of a crime, but were soon freed from detention. It is interesting also that this crime had expected, because the earlier sent anonymous reports of a possible attack, but that KFOR and UNMIK have failed to prevent his execution. Fear that appeared among the Serbian population in Bresje led to barricades. After the attack, the Italian KFOR troops are responsible for security of the Serbian population in Kosovo Polje, because the Serbs no longer had confidence in British KFOR troops. One of the reasons for shelling the market place was also intended to prevent the creation of a large Serbian enclave in Kosovo Polje and the surrounding area and that the Serb population from such a region displace. Consequences of shelling the market place are numerous: loss of 3 lives, wounding about 40 people, to cancel the agreement on the integration of Serbian and Albanian municipal authorities in Kosovo Polje, a sense of fear, inequality, insecurity and anxiety among the Serbian population, but also better protection of the Serbian population in Kosovo Polje and the environment.
The literary and philosophical conceptions of Laza Kostić
Authors: Aleksić Slađana
Published: October 2016

Laza Kostić, in the early seventies of the XIX century, opposed the utilitarianism of Nikolay Chernyshevsky and Svetozar Markovié, and advocated the idea of aestheticism in poetry and art. In his study about Jovan Jovanović Zmaj, Kostić had discovered two opposing processes in the poet, which he symbolically named the battle between the dragon and the nightingale. Kostić's conception about the origin of poetry is at the intersection of romanticist poetics about creation from divine inspiration, and a philosophical concept of the interference as a basic principle. The paper sheds light on the correspondence among the philosophical and literary views of Laza Kostić and his artistic work.
The media and sport: Can they be independent of each other?
Authors: Ilić Jelena , Stanković Veroljub , Petrović Ivan
Published: October 2016

Only recently have people started to insist on professionalism in sport, and as a result sport is becoming a very successful media business - commercial activity on which very complex industrial endeavors are based. Sport itself, especially the Olympic Games, except for games and fun and high goals of bringing people together since ancient times, is beginning to represent a kind of job for many people, a primary activity which directly enables them not only to earn a living, but to make a profit as well. Thus, the very term 'sports career' becomes a general one, and the mere participation in sport becomes a profession just like any other. That is how 'transfers' and sponsorship deals today are worth millions, and minutes of advertisements during the broadcast of a match are becoming more and more expensive, and more and more money is being set aside for the rights to broadcast matches, for exclusive footage and pictures of famous athletes. An athlete is becoming a 'brand name', and companies through sponsorship deals and advertisements buy the right to the athlete: he becomes a synonym for values which should be imposed on the public and a message which should be sent to as many people as possible. Lately, this trend has expanded to include sports competitions. Major sports events are becoming the subject of geo-political and economic interest, and thus represent a field in which there is a clash between national identity and economic globalism. In such circumstances, a strong bond is forged between sport and the media, which reflects the current state in society. The question that imposes itself is: have we already crossed that critical point in which the industry of sport wins over the sports industry?.

Testimonios en democracia: el Juicio a las Juntas Militares en Argentina
Authors: Bacci Claudia
Published: October 2016

Los testimonios sobre la represión en la última dictadura en Argentina (1976-1983) fueron esenciales para la denuncia pública en distintos foros. El Juicio a las Juntas Militares (1985) constituyó un punto de inflexión en la legitimación de los testigos en el espacio público, en un contexto social ambiguo ante el relato de las víctimas, uno de cuyos efectos centrales fue reinscribir en términos colectivos e institucionales lo que aparecía como meramente personal.En este trabajo se analizan las tensiones y debates en torno al Juicio, las expectativas y balances de quienes testimoniaron en él, a 30 años de su realización. A partir de una selección de fragmentos significativos tomados de un corpus de 37 testimonios del Archivo Oral de Memoria Abierta, analizo las líneas de tensión discursiva y desplazamientos temporales, a fin de reconocer las transformaciones y resignificaciones subjetivas desplegadas en estos ejercicios de memoria.

Published: October 2016

Lawrence Halprin fue uno de los pioneros en utilizar la participación ciudadana en el proceso de definición del planeamiento, reforma, recuperación y/o diseño urbano, ya en los años 60 en EEUU.En este texto se describe el proceso ocurrido en la resolución del Plan General Urbano de Yountville, de 1973 a 1975. La utilización de los Paseos de la Consciencia, el Taller Participativo y el teatro para obtener el conocimiento necesario de la ciudadanía para conseguir definir primero las líneas maestras y luego los matices del Plan que el pueblo consideraba más conveniente para sus intereses.El planeamiento resultante consecuentemente enriquecido con el conocimiento y las voluntades que la ciudadanía expresa, y evidentemente diseñado con el rigor técnico necesario, se define mucho más cercano a esta ciudadanía y a la consecución del bien común. En definitiva se afianza priorizar el interés general sobre el particular.

L’application inconsistante des clauses démocratiques : une analyse interdisciplinaire
Authors: Falomir Lockhart Nicolas Pedro
Published: October 2016

La collaboration du Droit international (DI) et des Relations internationales (RI) est un défi en soi. En plus, la façon dans laquelle elle a été construite et une image statique du DI empêchent son développement. La considération des contributions du DI et une définition qui saisit l’aspect dynamique des phénomènes juridiques ouvrent de nouvelles pistes d’analyse, dont celle de l’interprétation de normes. Nous suivons cette approche interdisciplinaire pour comprendre l’application inconsistante des clauses démocratiques. L’analyse des éléments de l’interprétation – la norme, la situation factuelle et l’interprète – permet de distinguer les facteurs intervenant, ainsi que la nature des obligations des clauses démocratiques. Les divers engagements normatifs expliquent l’association de ces éléments et fournissent la logique d’application des clauses démocratiques.
La perspective d’indépendance judiciaire à travers la poursuite privée dans le contexte de lutte contre la corruption
Authors: Hemle Djob Sotong Simon Pierre
Published: October 2016

Une lecture des conventions internationales de lutte contre la corruption, sous le prisme de l’indépendance judiciaire, subordonne la validité de ce principe à deux conditions : il faut, dans un premier temps, que le statut du ministère public soit identique au statut du juge ; il faut, dans un second temps, faciliter les conditions d’accès du poursuivant privé à la justice. Telle est, entre autres, la substance des articles 11 (2) et 13 de la Convention des Nations Unies contre la corruption, et de l’article 5 de la Convention sur la lutte contre la corruption dans les transactions commerciales internationales de l’Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques (OCDE). Il suit de ce qui précède qu’une réception littérale des instruments internationaux de lutte contre la corruption peut nécessiter de lourdes réformes institutionnelles, voire des modifications constitutionnelles. Toutefois, l’article qui suit montre que tout État partie aux conventions sus évoquées peut faire l’économie desdites réformes en substituant l’analyse positiviste des fonctions judiciaires à une réception pragmatique de l’activité judiciaire. Une telle solution exige que les fonctions judiciaires soient clairement différenciées des autres fonctions de l’État contemporain (postmoderne).
Design of reconfigurable on-chip mode filters based on phase transition in vanadium dioxide
Authors: Huang Tianye , Pan Zepeng , Zhang Minming , Fu Songnian
Published: October 2016

On the basis of the phase transition between an insulator and a metal in vanadium dioxide (VO2), we propose ultracompact and broadband lower- and higher-order mode pass filters (LOMPF and HOMPF, respectively) for a multimode silicon waveguide supporting two transverse electric (TE) modes. Good performance of mode filtering can be maintained over a wavelength range of 100 nm. In addition, the two filters can be cascaded to achieve reconfigurable operation for both TE00 and TE01 modes, including TE00-pass, TE01-pass, all-pass, and all-block. The reconfigurable response of the proposed on-chip mode filter is helpful for flexible mode-division multiplexing applications.

By analyzing the contact resonance frequencies of an AFM probe while the tip was in contact with the sample, the stiffness and residual stress of a freestanding circular SiN
x
membrane were evaluated quantitatively. The obtained magnitude of residual stress was in reasonable agreement with that determined by wafer curvature measurement. The method was verified to have much better mechanical sensitivity than the popular AFM bending test method. Its promising application to fast, nondestructive mechanical mapping of thin-film-type structures at the nanoscale was also demonstrated.

Methanesulfonic acid (MSA) is a relevant intermediate of the biogeochemical cycle of sulfur and environmental microorganisms assume an important role in the mineralization of this compound. Several methylotrophic bacterial strains able to grow on MSA have been isolated from soil or marine water and two conserved operons,msmABCDcoding for MSA monooxygenase andmsmEFGHcoding for a transport system, have been repeatedly encountered in most of these strains. Homologous sequences have also been amplified directly from the environment or observed in marine metagenomic data, but these showed a base composition (G + C content) very different from their counterparts from cultivated bacteria. The aim of this study was to understand which microorganisms within the coastal surface oceanic microflora responded to MSA as a nutrient and how the community evolved in the early phases of an enrichment by means of metagenome and gene-targeted amplicon sequencing. From the phylogenetic point of view, the community shifted significantly with the disappearance of all signals related to theArchaea, thePelagibacteraceaeand phylum SAR406, and the increase in methylotroph-harboring taxa, accompanied by other groups so far not known to comprise methylotrophs such as theHyphomonadaceae. At the functional level, the abundance of several genes related to sulfur metabolism and methylotrophy increased during the enrichment and the allelic distribution of genemsmAdiagnostic for MSA monooxygenase altered considerably. Even more dramatic was the disappearance of MSA import-related genemsmE, which suggests that alternative transporters must be present in the enriched community and illustrate the inadequacy ofmsmEas an ecofunctional marker for MSA degradation at sea.

In the tropics, there are too few studies on isolation ofBlastocystissp. subtypes from water sources; in addition, there is also an absence of reported studies on the occurrence ofBlastocystissp. subtypes in water during different seasons. Therefore, this study was aimed to determine the occurrence ofBlastocystissp. subtypes in river water and other water sources that drained aboriginal vicinity of highly endemic intestinal parasitic infections during wet and dry seasons. Water samples were collected from six sampling points of Sungai Krau (K1–K6) and a point at Sungai Lompat (K7) and other water sources around the aboriginal villages. The water samples were collected during both seasons, wet and dry seasons. Filtration of the water samples were carried out using a flatbed membrane filtration system. The extracted DNA from concentrated water sediment was subjected to single round polymerase chain reaction and positive PCR products were subjected to sequencing. All samples were also subjected to filtration and cultured on membrane lactose glucuronide agar for the detection of faecal coliforms. During wet season,Blastocystissp. ST1, ST2 and ST3 were detected in river water samples.Blastocystissp. ST3 occurrence was sustained in the river water samples during dry season. HoweverBlastocystissp. ST1 and ST2 were absent during dry season. Water samples collected from various water sources showed contaminations ofBlastocystissp. ST1, ST2, ST3 and ST4, during wet season andBlastocystissp. ST1, ST3, ST8 and ST10 during dry season. Water collected from all river sampling points during both seasons showed growth ofEscherichia coli and Enterobacter aerogenes, indicating faecal contamination. In this study,Blastocystissp. ST3 is suggested as the most robust and resistant subtype able to survive in any adverse environmental condition. Restriction and control of human and animal faecal contaminations to the river and other water sources shall prevent the transmission ofBlastocystissp. to humans and animals in this aboriginal community.

Heleobia piscium(d’Orbigny, 1835), a member of the Cochliopidae family found only in South America, is distributed from Entre Ríos, Delta del Paraná, and the littoral of the Río de la Plata down as far as to Punta Indio (Buenos Aires), the southernmost limit of the snail’s geographical distribution. To date, little information is available regarding the reproductive cycle of species within this family either in Argentina or throughout South America. The present work analyzed the histology of the reproductive system of the gonochoric speciesH. pisciumand determined the stages oogenesis and spermatogenesis under natural conditions. Specimens ofH. pisciumwere collected in the Multiple-Use Natural Reserve Isla Martín García, located in the Upper Río de la Plata estuary to the south of the mouth of the Uruguay River. The gametogenic cycle in both sexes was found to consist of the following stages: early maturation, maturation, and evacuation. The maturation period was found to extend from January to October and evacuation of the gametes to start in November and end in February (summer in the Southern Hemisphere). The results indicated theH. pisciumexhibit a reproductive cycle without a resting period.

To make advances in rice molecular design breeding, it is important to understand the genetic background and phenotypes of the parental lines, to known superior allele of the breeding material. In this study, 34 pairs of insertion-deletion (InDel) markers were used to analyze the differentiation of indica–japonica properties in 277 primal parental lines of hybrid rice that are used in China and abroad. The genetic diversity and population structure were assessed with simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. We also evaluated the association between SSR markers and seven yield traits and four grain-quality traits of 256 indica rice lines. The main results are as follows. (1) Within the 277 lines there were two subgroups: indica and japonica. The 256 lines of the indica-subgroup were further divided into four sub–sub-groups: landrace, maintainer, restorer, and rice lines from the International Rice Research Institute. (2) We identified 29 loci associated with 11 agronomic traits, including one for plant height, two for tiller number, one for panicle length, three for grain length, eight for grain width, eight for grain length/width ratio, one for thousand grain weight, one for amylose content, two for gel consistency, one for gelatinization temperature and one for total protein content. (3) Among those loci, 16 markers were closely linked to previously identified genes. Superior allele carrier lines and allele effects were also analyzed. Our results provided the population structure and indica–japonica properties for parent matching, and the marker–trait association will also be useful for molecular design breeding.

Here we report from a experiment imposing different warming scenarios [control with ambient temperature, constant level of moderate warming for 3 years, stepwise increase in warming for 3 years, and one season of high level warming (pulse) simulating an extreme summer event] on an alpine ecosystem to study the impact on species diversity–biomass relationship, and community resistance in terms of biomass production. Multiple linear mixed models indicate that experimental years had stronger influence on biomass than warming scenarios and species diversity. Species diversity and biomass had almost humpback relationships under different warming scenarios over different experimental years. There was generally a negative diversity–biomass relationship, implying that a positive diversity–biomass relationship was not the case. The application of different warming scenarios did not change this tendency. The change in community resistance to all warming scenarios was generally negatively correlated with increasing species diversity, the strength of the correlation varying both between treatments and between years within treatments. The strong effect of experimental years was consistent with the notion that niche complementarity effects increase over time, and hence, higher biomass productivity over experimental years. The strongest negative relationship was found in the first year of the pulse treatment, indicating that the community had weak resistance to an extreme event of one season of abnormally warm climate. Biomass production started recovering during the two subsequent years. Contrasting biomass‐related resistance emerged in the different treatments, indicating that micro sites within the same plant community may differ in their resistance to different warming scenarios.

Thistle oil (INCI: Silybum marianum seed oil) is known as an anti‐oxidant, moisturizing and skin regenerating cosmetic raw material. Nanoemulsions are a new form of cosmetic product showing very good user properties (ease of spreading over the skin with no greasy feeling). Moreover, due to their structure, they can also transport both hydrophilic and hydrophobic active substances to the skin. The aim of this work was the preparation and characterization of nanoemulsions, based on thistle oil. The non‐ionic surfactants polysorbate 80 (PEG‐20 sorbitan monooleate), decyl glucoside, and a polyglyceryl‐4 ester blend were applied to stabilize the nanosystems. All formulations were obtained by a high energy method, using an ultrasonic device (Labsonic U, an ultrasound homogenizer). Variations in the emulsification parameters were tested, including surfactants concentration, pre‐emulsification time, ultrasound power and sonication time. On the basis of statistical analysis (experimental design, cluster analysis, classification and regression trees) the best emulsification process parameters were determined. In order to verify the results of statistical analysis, once more an experimental study was conducted. The results obtained confirmed that statistical analysis can be a useful method in determining the conditions for obtaining stable nanoemulsions with desired properties. Formulations obtained with the use of Silybum marianum seed oil were characterized by long‐term stability, a low polydispersity index, low viscosity and an average droplet size less than 200 nm.
