Authors:   History of Chemistry Division of the German Chemical Society (GDCh), Kent Stephen B. H.
Published: September 2022

Creative “cheating” led Stephen B. H. Kent, born in 1945, to solve one of the Grand Challenges of 20th Century chemistry: the total synthesis of protein molecules. Twenty-five formative years in his native New Zealand had prepared him in manifold ways. Vigorous debates at the family dinner table, combined with secondary school classes in Kantian moral philosophy and the discipline of competitive distance running influenced his later successes in scientific research. As a university undergraduate he was fascinated by the ability of enzymes to catalyze chemical reactions and set out to gain the expertise to understand how they did it. Steve loved to experiment and didn’t leave the bench for many years to come. Keep it simple, be counter-dogma and ignore the opinions of referees were his guiding principles. Read how his ambition to understand the chemistry of enzyme catalysis led Stephen Kent to the United States and about his adventures there in science and everyday life.

As distâncias de Manhattan e Chebyshev na avaliação da acurácia posicional com feições lineares em produtos cartográficos
Authors:   , Barbosa Lígia da Silva
Published: September 2022

Diversos países têm buscado atualizar e/ou editar suas normas e padrões referentes à qualidade dos dados espaciais, incluindo o Brasil através da ET-CQDG (Especificação Técnica para Controle de Qualidade de Dados Geoespaciais) elaborada em 2016 pela INDE (Infraestrutura de Dados Espaciais), visto que uma grande quantidade de dados é gerada a todo instante. Esta especificação utiliza como base o Decreto n° 89.817 de 1.984, a qual estabelece tolerâncias para avaliar e classificar produtos cartográficos em relação à sua qualidade posicional, utilizando feições pontuais. No entanto, o uso de feições lineares tem aumentado, especialmente por estarem presentes em maior quantidade em uma base cartográfica, além de possuírem uma boa distribuição espacial. Assim sendo, este trabalho propôs o uso das métricas Distância de Manhattan e Distância de Chebyshev para a avaliação da acurácia posicional de dados com feições lineares, através da adaptação do método Influência do Vértice e Distância de Hausdorff,. Sendo assim, foram utilizados um conjunto de dados simulados com valores de discrepância média conhecidas para análise da eficiência dos métodos,. Além destes dados utilizou-se o conjunto de dados denominado “MatchingLand” desenvolvido por Xavier et al. (2017) que simulam dados reais, bem como dados reais na região da Universidade Federal de Viçosa em Viçosa – MG. Em relação aos dois últimos conjuntos citados, para fins de comparação dos resultados, utilizou-se o método Buffer Duplo. Com base nos resultados obtidos, verificou-se que em geral os métodos propostos que utilizam a distância de Manhattan possuem uma maior magnitude na determinação da discrepância posicional, enquanto os métodos que utilizam a distância de Chebyshev possuem uma menor magnitude. Pôde-se perceber que, aplicando as análises estatísticas para comparação das amostras de discrepâncias dos diferentes métodos aplicados, os métodos são similares estatisticamente independente da métrica utilizada, exceto o método Buffer Duplo. Sendo assim, não é viável o uso das Distâncias de Manhattan e Chebyshev, já que produz o mesmo efeito prático do uso da distância Euclidiana e esta é bastante difundida e tradicional na Cartografia.

Published: September 2022

Aeronaves Remotamente Pilotadas (Remotely Piloted Aircrafts - RPAs) estão se tornando cada vez mais acessíveis e possibilitando a obtenção de produtos como ortoimagens e modelos digitais de elevação a um custo relativamente menor. Para assegurar a qualidade destes produtos, além da precisão de informações externas de controle, o processo de calibração pode ser implementado a fim de calcular valores acurados dos Parâmetros de Orientação Interior (POI) da câmara utilizada. Procedimentos de campo podem ser empregados para quebrar a correlação entre os parâmetros de orientação interior e exterior no processo de calibração em serviço, como levantamento em áreas com diferença altimétrica, utilização de linhas de voo ortogonais entre si, aquisição de imagens oblíquas e combinação de linhas de voo de diferentes alturas, gerando assim produtos de maior precisão. Para avaliar quais destes procedimentos influenciam de forma mais significativa na calibração em serviço, levantamentos foram feitos em duas áreas com características distintas, uma aproximadamente plana e outra com diferenças altimétricas entre os alvos, assim, vários cenários foram estabelecidos a partir dos levantamentos realizados com uma RPA. Os produtos gerados com uso das diferentes configurações de processamento foram analisados em função dos POI e dados de discrepância. Tomando estes resultados como banco de dados, foram aplicadas técnicas de mineração de dados, sendo elas a árvore de decisão, análise de distribuição e agrupamento hierárquico aglomerativo, a fim de determinar qual dos procedimentos de campo mais influenciou na calibração em serviço e consequentemente na qualidade dos produtos gerados. Para os dados analisados, os algoritmos de mineração apontaram para dois cenários mais significativos, sendo eles a aquisição de imagens oblíquas em um terreno com variação altimétrica e a combinação de linhas de voo com diferentes alturas em um campo de pouca variação altimétrica como os procedimentos que mais influenciaram na qualidade de produtos gerados a partir de levantamentos aéreos com RPA.

Published: September 2022

Purpose. Investigate the content of heavy metals in spring barley varieties for different applications depending on the duration of grain storage.

Methods. Laboratory, analytical, statistical.

Results. It was found that the studied varieties, regardless of the application had an individual accumulation of heavy metals. Grain varieties have an inverse relationship with the intensity of lead concentration in the grain of spring barley: the longer the storage, the lower its content in the grain. The accumulation of heavy metals of mercury (Hg) and arsenic (As) in the grain of spring barley varieties of grain use allows us to note that with increasing storage, their content decreases. It was found that the accumulation of heavy metals copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) in the grain of spring barley for grain increases as affected by the storage period. There was a decrease in zinc content after a month of storage and depending on varietal characteristics. A slight increase, in the varieties of the brewery application was found after three and six months of grain storage. When analyzing the data, it can be noted that after nine months and a year of storage, there was an increase in the copper content, but to the maximum permitted level.

Conclusions. Varieties of spring barley, regardless of the application, had an individual accumulation of heavy metals. Varieties ‘Stalker’ and ‘Ahrarii’ are sensitive to lead: the content of this element immediately after threshing was 1.08 mg/kg and 1.12 mg/kg. A month later, these figures were 0.73 mg/kg and 1.02 mg/kg. Storage of spring barley grain for 9 and 12 months shows that the accumulation of cadmium has increased compared to the indicators obtained immediately after threshing. Thus, in the varieties ‘Stalker’ this figure was 0.09 mg/kg, and in ‘Ahrarii’ 0.13 and 0.014 mg/kg. The most sensitive to the accumulation of copper (Cu) immediately after threshing were varieties ‘Ahrarii’ with 3.00 mg/kg and ‘Vzirets’ with 2.56 mg/kg, and the lowest content had varieties ‘Shchedryk’ with 2.27 mg/kg and ‘Stalker’ with 2.31 mg/kg. ‘Enei’ variety of universal application was characterizing by a lower content of heavy metals in comparison with grain varieties. In spring malting barley, depending on the duration of grain storage, it was found that as in previous grain and universal application, the content of heavy metals accumulates differently depending on the varietal characteristics.

Published: September 2022

Purpose. To evaluate the productivity of winter pea as affected by nitrogen fertilizer and seed inoculation under the conditions of the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine.

Methods. Field and laboratory research methods were used to conduct research to establish the peculiarities of the formation of winter pea productivity.

Results. Based on the research, it was determined that the factors of inoculation of seeds with Optimize Pulse and the use of spring nitrogen fertilization at an application rate N45 played a decisive role in the formation of a high productivity and protein content in winter pea of ‘NS Moroz’ variety. Thus, it was found that the application of N15 in autumn followed by spring fertilization with N45 formed the height of pea plants of 79.5 cm and the number of beans per plant 12.2. However 1000-seed weight was the best in the treatment with spring application of N30, although it did not differ statistically from the previous treatment of the experiment.

Conclusions. It was found that the yield of pea increased significantly under the integrated use of nitrogen fertilizer. The effect of fertilizer was especially positive with the application of starting doses in autumn (15 kg/ha) and fertilization of plants after vegetation restoration (45 kg/ha). The yield averaged 3.69 t/ha. However, inoculation of seeds in general contributed not only to a better supply of winter pea plants with nitrogen but also to the formation of a higher yield. According to the results of our research, we noted an increase in the protein content in the seeds as the amount of nitrogen fertilizers used after the restoration of vegetation by pea plants. Thus, in the case of application of N15 for autumn application in combination with spring feeding with N45, the protein content was 23.95% in non-inoculated and 24.93 % in inoculated treatments of the experiment. It was found that along with the improvement of plant nutrition conditions for winter peas by inoculation of seeds with strains of nitrogen-fixing microorganisms of Optimize Pulse plant health product, the average plant height increased by 7.8 cm, the number of beans per plant by 1.1, and the 1000seed-weight by 16.8 g.

The least productive among the studied assortment was ‘Rozali’ with 39.9 t/ha. ‘Vertu 1340’ was characterized by the lowest marketability of the obtained products (85.6%), while in the others this indicator was higher, on average, by 9.1–13.3%. Savoy cabbage varieties 'Sphere' and 'Vertus' exceeded the control variety over all biometric indicators of the cabbage head: average weight of 1.73 and 1.50 kg against 1.40 kg, diameter of 18.6 and 18.2 cm against 17.8 cm, respectively. The variety ‘Rozali’ was significantly inferior to them in all these indicators. Regarding the biochemical components of the products of the studied varieties, the dry matter content averaged 8.07–10.17%, sugars 3.27–3.58%, vitamin C 32.64–60.98 mg/100 g. Qualitative indicators were the highest in the control variety 'Vertu 1340' and the lowest in 'Sphere'.
Conclusions. When grown in the Forest-Steppe of Ukraine, the highest yields and marketability of products are formed by savoy cabbage varieties ‘Sphere’ and ‘Vertus’. At the same time, the control variety ‘Vertu 1340’ surpasses all others in terms of product quality indicators, namely dry matter content, sugars and vitamin C.

How to Combine Hunger Solutions to Improve their Effectiveness: Building the Framework for a Country Profile Approach
Authors: Reuveni Saada , Czyzewski Bazyli
Published: September 2022

Hunger continues to be a major problem in developing countries despite various efforts. Countries with differing socioeconomic profiles, as reflected in their level of development, seem to respond differently to identical programs. The aim of this paper is to therefore propose a new conceptual tool, namely our hunger-management model, which takes into account a country’s developmental level. To investigate the role of a country’s developmental level in making progress in its GHI score over time, data for 124 developing countries were gathered. These countries were divided into two groups according to whether they used a high or low number of “criteria” (i.e., approaches such as school meals and direct food aid) to fight hunger. To assess the effect of this distinction, repeated measures ANOVAs were applied for the various GHI scores and outcomes for a selection of representative years. To reveal any differences between the years, a post hoc analysis was conducted using Bonferroni correction. The findings suggest that (i) the rate of change for a country’s GHI score and other examined indicators depends upon its developmental level, and (ii) there is a direct relationship between the hunger-management model and the level of hunger in developing countries.

Exploring undergraduates' experiences of teaching and learning in a Chinese-Australian programme: An intercultural dialogue perspective
Authors: Zhao Xiantong , Liu Xu
Published: September 2022

This study aims to explore and understand undergraduates’ experiences of teaching and learning in a Chinese-Australian collaborative programme. Data are collected mainly through in-depth interviews with 23 Chinese students and supplemented by classroom observation and document analysis. The findings reveal that although teaching and assessment differs between the Chinese and Western lecturers, the Chinese lecturers are Westernising their teaching and assessment methods. While many students preferred the Australian system of teaching and assessment, a few still favoured the Chinese methods of instruction and evaluation. Furthermore, the design of the curriculum proved problematic due to parts of it being irrelevant and failing to meet the students’ needs and expectations; some students also found fault with the intensity of the course schedule. The findings are further explored in the light of the intercultural dialogue (ICD) framework.

Published: September 2022

Today, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) prevail in all areas of society, while their consolidation has brought about significant changes. Children and young people come into contact with them every day and the skills and knowledge they have acquired empirically are many. Nowadays, new technologies are considered very essential and anyone who does not have skills in this field is considered as “illiterate” as was used to be in the past for those who did not know writing and reading. Their establishment at all levels makes the use of new technologies indispensable to everyone because without such knowledge people cannot participate in key areas and processes that define them both as people and as citizens. New technologies are increasingly developing and, combined with the globalization and the economic changes that are taking place, even more intense changes are expected to occur that will have a critical impact on all people in the future, regardless of gender.
