Published: April 2022

This article is an attempt to assess the invasion risk from the most noxious alien plant species using the GPS recorded locations and environmental variables. The invasion risk was modelled by combining the three ecological niche modelling algorithms- DesktopGARP, Openmodeller DesktopGARP and Maxent after validating their accuracies. The accuracies ranged from moderate to good in all the algorithms, for all six species. The result showed Ageratina adenophora and Ageratum conyzoides as highly invasive species both in terms of area coverage and the ecological tolerance range of the study site. It was also indicative that, irrespective of the species, agricultural lands are most susceptible to invasion among all other types of land uses in the study area.
Plant Functional Traits in Tropical Dry Forests
Authors: Singh Shipra , Verma Abhishek K.
Published: April 2022

Plants have certain characteristics which allow them to respond to various environmental conditions, like changes in climate, water scarcity in the soil, lack of minerals; among others. In some of these traits, the responses to climatic phenomena such as drought can be evidenced through morphological adaptations (spines, succulent tissues, trichomes) or physiological adaptations (regulation of water potential at the cellular level, the concentration of nutrients, etc.). A systematic literature review was performed to study plant functional traits (PFTs) in tropical dry forests (TDFs). The chapter suggests the role of functional traits in community dynamics and processes. The authors will also highlight the limitations of PFTs in TDFs and how they can be improved.

Authors: Goman Pavel Nikolaevich
Published: April 2022

The chapter presents the results of experimental-analytical modeling of the surface forest fire dynamics and the process of forest fuel ignition when exposed to thermal radiation from the fire line. The regularities are established for the occurrence and spread of fires in natural ecosystems of the temperate climatic zone. Analytical solutions have been obtained that make it possible to predict the level of heat load on the soil cover of coniferous stands. The special computer program has been developed to calculate the heat load during fires. The methods of field and laboratory modeling revealed patterns of forest fuel heating and ignition depending on moisture content. A practice-oriented method is proposed to calculate the width of fire barriers that limit the spread of forest fires. The methods for creating fire barriers are proposed.

Water is the main ecosystem service that supports the oasis system. Middle Draa Valley is an oasis zone located in the south of Morocco. The water availability in this area is the key element of vegetation cover change. This change added to other factors can cause some parasitic diseases. The zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis is one of these diseases. In this chapter, an analysis of the interaction between some key risk factors and the disease transmission was carried out. The outputs of this work rivaled that there is a very strong correlation between this disease and ecosystem services such as water stored and the dam outflow (directed to the oasis for the irrigation), and the groundwater availability. Regarding the correlation between this vector-borne disease and the cropping area, a strong correlation was recorded. However, for the relationship between leishmaniasis and the precipitation and the dam inflow, average correlations were found. Basically, in MDV, the water availability is the first element that affects an ensemble of processes that cause the disease infection.
Sustainable Treatment of Landfill Leachate Using Constructed Wetlands
Authors: Rana Vivek
Published: April 2022

Sanitary landfilling is the major method of disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) in developing countries. The disposal of MSW in landfills generates a large amount of highly toxic leachate, which has high potential hazards for the public, flora, fauna health and ecosystems. Advanced leachate treatment systems using biological and chemical treatment methods are recently implemented in developed countries, but high investment and operating costs restricted their application in most of the developing countries. To overcome this problem, an alternative sustainable treatment technology such as phytoremediation could be beneficial. The constructed wetland treatment system is an economical alternative for leachate treatment using local resources and is an energy-efficient technology. These green systems utilize anaerobic and aerobic reactions to break down, immobilize, or incorporate organic substances and other contaminants from polluted effluent. This chapter highlights the recent advances in the treatment of landfill leachates using constructed wetlands.

Published: April 2022

Wetlands are home to numerous species of fish, birds, and reptiles. The enormous roots of the mangrove trees act as shelter to small fish, reptiles, and amphibians. Pesticides and agro-chemical fertilizers have been playing a very pivotal role in the degradation of the land and the water bodies. The different herbicides that are present in wetlands are Dicamba, Endothall, MCPA, Triallate, Trifluralin, 2, 4-D, and insecticides Carbaryl, Carbofuran, Fenvalerate, Malathion, Parathion, and Terbufos. These pesticides have been provided with the aim of catering to the security of the crops which are highly vulnerable to the pests. However, harmful effects of pesticides on wetland species have been a concern for long time. Wetlands constitute one such habitat threatened by the pesticides. But there has been a lack of comprehensive research in this direction. The chapter will identify the gaps in the current research and will review the status of Indian wetlands with special reference to pesticides and their impact.
Cultural Implications of the Loss of Evil Forests in Nigeria
Authors: Paul Ojo Olarewaju
Published: April 2022

That there is a missing link between environmentalists' understandings of and the application of the supremacy of Christ and the church over creation cannot be ignored. This has warranted a negative view of this doctrine in the face of current global ecological problems. In traditional African communities there was ambiguous reception of the Christian church, with its operational base confined to certain dangerous and ecologically orphaned ‘evil forests'. It is from these evil forests that the church has positively produced the present educational and political elite who should in turn protect the environment. With this fact, the multi-dimensional approach to tackling the ecological crisis in Nigeria will be set on a positive course.

Published: April 2022

Urbanization effects on vegetation and the alteration in land use is likely to be the major driver of fragmentation and the loss of ecosystem services (ESS) and biodiversity. Understanding varying levels of biodiversity within cities is pivotal to protect ESS. However, due to the high complexity of urban systems, ecological connectivity assessment in urban planning remains challenging. This article evaluates policy documents and tools for ESS assessment in Stockholm, Sweden. Stockholm is an interesting city for studying ESS planning and management since Sweden has a long tradition of formal policy for biodiversity management. An overview is presented of tools and approaches to measure ESS at different scale levels used in the urban planning process in Stockholm. Their application illustrates the complementary nature of these tools, but also the need to integrate them in a platform based on a GIS (Geographic Information System) model. Ultimately, the development of such an integrated tool should inform and support planning practice in guiding urban systems towards greater sustainability.

Published: April 2022

A BCI theoretical idea is to construct an output feature or task for a user using brain signals. These signals are then transmitted to the machine where the required task is performed. In this work, we present a mental task classification model that focuses on the notion of transfer learning and addresses the issues of data scarcity, choice of model selection, and low-performance measure. To decide the optimal network for feature extraction, we used five different pre-trained networks including VGG16, VGG19, ResNet101, ResNet18, and ResNet50. For the classification, the suggested model experiments with three baseline classifiers namely support vector machine, decision tree, and random forest. The model's experimental evaluation is done on the publicly available Keirn and Aunon databases. From the experiment, it is observed that features extracted from the transfer learning models help to identify the five different mental tasks efficiently. The highest average accuracy of 81.25% is attained on ResNet50 based features with a random forest classifier.

Authors: Kumar Vijay , Tyagi Lakshya
Published: April 2022

Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) weapon systems hold the potential to cause great damage to a fighting unit. Chemical warfare agents are cheaper and easier to produce and deploy. Mission oriented protective posture (MOPP) equipment is used to isolate soldiers from the toxic environment . Sustained wearing of MOPP overgarments can put soldiers at the risk of dehydration and heat stress. A hierarchal adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (HANFIS) model is proposed to predict worst case MOPP open times for surfaces covered with chemical agent resistant coating (CARC) and sand. The model can provide decision support for commanders when determining MOPP open or unmasking time. From HANFIS simulation results it was concluded that the model can accurately predict MOPP open times according to data present in military field manuals, in a manner which is computationally efficient. and easy to interpret based on linguistic rules and most importantly, easy to customize.

In view of the low performance of porous ceramics on the wall, the heavy task of saving clay resources, and the major problems of dredging the Yangtze River, this thesis uses low-grade quartz sand along the Yangtze River as the main raw material and kaolin as the plasticizer. Drying, sintering and other processes prepare high-performance porous quartz ceramics, and improve the performance of porous quartz ceramics by studying the control conditions and the control mechanism related to the performance of the sintered body. Quartz porous ceramic bodies were sintered at 1100 °C and 1200 °C, and no obvious gradient structure was found. However, the quartz porous ceramic bodies had obvious gradient structures after sintering at 1300°C. The quartz porous ceramic bodies were sintered. When the temperature is 1400 °C, the green body is not found to have a pore gradient structure. When the water-to-material ratio is 1.2 and 1.3, the quartz porous ceramic body has no obvious gradient structure; when the water-to-material ratio is 1.4, 1.5, the sample has an obvious gradient structure. Combining the cost performance between material performance and energy consumption, in order to obtain a better bonding point, porous silica ceramics should be prepared with a water-to-material ratio of 1.4 and a sintering temperature of 1300 °C to prepare porous silica ceramics with a better pore gradient structure. Its porosity is 32.45%, and its compressive strength is 5.23 MPa.

An upper bound on the hot spots constant
Authors: Steinerberger Stefan
Published: April 2022

Let

D \subset \mathbb{R}^d

be a bounded, connected domain with smooth boundary, and let

-\Delta u = \mu_1 u

be the first nontrivial eigenfunction of the Laplace operator with Neumann boundary conditions. We prove that

\max_{x \in D} ~u(x) \leq 60 \cdot \max_{x \in \partial D} ~u(x)

and we emphasize that this constant is uniform among all connected domains with smooth boundary in all dimensions. In particular, the hot spots conjecture cannot fail by an arbitrarily large factor. The inequality also holds for other (Neumann-) eigenfunctions (possibly with a different constant) provided their eigenvalue is smaller than the first Dirichlet eigenvalue. An example of Kleefeld shows that the optimal constant is at least

1 + 10^{-3}

In recent times, the Vietnamese e-commerce market is in a period of strong development, in addition, to the sharp increase in people’s demands to join e-commerce platforms after the epidemic. The research group started with an overview study, then research hypotheses and models were proposed. After conducting preliminary qualitative and quantitative research to adjust the appropriate scales, the research group created a questionnaire and collected data in online forms with a sample size of 350. Next, the data was entered into the software for SEM analysis. The results of the study indicate that the quality of the e-commerce platform has an indirect impact on the purchase intention through the positive impact on the trust and the negative impact on the perceived risk. Attitudes towards information, trust, perceived risk, and perceived usefulness have direct influences on purchase intention. Attitude towards information, trust, and perceived usefulness have positive effects on purchase intention, while perceived risk harms purchase intention. In addition, purchase intention is relatively strongly influenced by trust and perceived usefulness. Perceived risk and attitude towards information have little influence on purchase intention. Finally, the research team proposes some solutions for businesses to increase the purchase intention of consumers through e-commerce platforms.

Objective: to avoid alveolar bone loss and prevent bone resorption and implant failure through the use of beta-tricalcium phosphate bone graft. Case Report: 43-year-old patient who underwent dental extraction of the upper right canine due to root fracture; subsequently, a Bicon® dental implant was placed accompanied by a bone regeneration process in the peri-implant space with beta-tricalcium phosphate substitute and collagen plug, preserving the alveolar bone and papillary gingiva. Results: adequate healing was observed, without gingival retraction. When evaluating the final tomography, an increase in bone tissue was observed at the intervention site with greater measurements than the initial ones and without bone resorption. A fixed temporary crown was made on a temporary abutment which allows the soft tissues to be conditioned, improving the emergence profile for the final crown.
Les patronymes algériens liés aux termes chromatiques
Authors: Bengoua Soufiane
Published: April 2022

Le présent travail est le résultat d’une réflexion qui a suivi plusieurs recherches antérieures sur les patronymes algériens. Notre objet ici est de démontrer la déstructuration anthroponymique via des dérivations patronymiques et des créations onomastiques nouvelles à la population algérienne en particulier et maghrébine en général. En effet, lors de l’enquête menée sur 72 patronymes liés aux nuances de couleurs et aux couleurs, il s’est avéré que le système de dénomination colonial instauré par le code de l’indignation[1]calque un modèle onomastique millénaire sur un modèle français se composant de surnoms et de noms communs à qui il fallait adjoindre des suffixes diminutifs, augmentatifs ou péjoratifs.
Au travers une analyse morpho-sémantique, nous verrons que l’algérien devient un objet de propriété en attribuant un code couleur propre aux objets qui ne respecte ni son histoire, ni sa culture, ni ses traditions.  Afin de mettre  en contexte notre corpus, nous allons d’abord évoquer l’histoire des arabes avec les couleurs, ensuite nous détaillerons les modes de dénominations des patronymes chez les français et auprès des arabes et enfin, nous ferons la double analyse des 72 patronymes du corpus.

Una aproximación a la antroponimia queretana del siglo XIX (1800-1850)
Authors: San Martín Gómez José Armando , Zabalza Seguín Ana
Published: April 2022

Aunque en los últimos años se han llevado a cabo algunas investigaciones de la onomástica en América Latina desde distintos enfoques, lo cierto es que la antroponimia ha gozado de muy poca atención (San Martín Gómez, 2021). Por esta razón, el presente trabajo tiene la intención de responder a esta necesidad analizando los nombres propios en Querétaro durante la primera mitad del siglo XIX; de este modo, se estudiarán 50 documentos de esta región editados por Gutiérrez Bello (2017). En concreto, los objetivos de este trabajo son los siguientes: a) aportar una descripción del nombre propio de esta región; b) analizar la distribución del nombre propio de acuerdo a criterios sociales; c) establecer una comparación con otras zonas de dominio hispánico durante esta centuria o periodos anteriores. El propósito final es abrir nuevas líneas de investigación que contribuyan a la historia del nombre propio en América.
