Published: August 2024

Preserving the privacy of the ever-increasing multimedia data on the cloud while providing accurate and fast retrieval services has become a hot topic in information security. However, existing relevant schemes still have significant room for improvement in accuracy and speed. Therefore, this paper proposes a privacy-preserving image–text retrieval scheme called PITR. To enhance model performance with minimal parameter training, we freeze all parameters of a multimodal pre-trained model and incorporate trainable modules along with either a general adapter or a specialized adapter, which are used to enhance the model’s ability to perform zero-shot image classification and cross-modal retrieval in general or specialized datasets, respectively. To preserve the privacy of outsourced data on the cloud and the privacy of the user’s retrieval process, we employ asymmetric scalar-product-preserving encryption technology suitable for inner product calculation, and we employ distributed index storage technology and construct a two-level security model. We construct a hierarchical index structure to speed up query matching among massive high-dimensional index vectors. Experimental results demonstrate that our scheme can provide users with secure, accurate, fast cross-modal retrieval service while preserving data privacy.

Published: August 2024

This paper presents a new third-order symmetric difference equation transformed into a 3D discrete symmetric map. The nonlinear dynamics and symmetry of the proposed map are analyzed with two initial conditions for exploring the sensitivity of the map and highlighting the influence of the map parameters on its behaviors, thus comparing the findings. Moreover, the stability of the zero fixed point and symmetry are examined by theoretical analysis, and it is proved that the map generates diverse nonlinear traits comprising multistability, chaos, and hyperchaos, which is confirmed by phase attractors in 2D and 3D space, Lyapunov exponents (LEs) analysis and bifurcation diagrams; also, 0-1 test and sample entropy (SampEn) are used to confirm the existence and measure the complexity of chaos. In addition, a nonlinear controller is introduced to stabilize the symmetry map and synchronize a duo of unified symmetry maps. Finally, numerical results are provided to illustrate the findings.

The efficiency of virus internalization into target cells is a major determinant of infectivity. SARS-CoV-2 internalization occurs via S-protein-mediated cell binding followed either by direct fusion with the plasma membrane or endocytosis and subsequent fusion with the endosomal membrane. Despite the crucial role of virus internalization, the precise kinetics of the processes involved remains elusive. We developed a pipeline, which combines live-cell microscopy and advanced image analysis, for measuring the rates of multiple internalization-associated molecular events of single SARS-CoV-2-virus-like particles (VLPs), including endosome ingression and pH change. Our live-cell imaging experiments demonstrate that only a few minutes after binding to the plasma membrane, VLPs ingress into RAP5-negative endosomes via dynamin-dependent scission. Less than two minutes later, VLP speed increases in parallel with a pH drop below 5, yet these two events are not interrelated. By co-imaging fluorescently labeled nucleocapsid proteins, we show that nucleocapsid release occurs with similar kinetics to VLP acidification. Neither Omicron mutations nor abrogation of the S protein polybasic cleavage site affected the rate of VLP internalization, indicating that they do not confer any significant advantages or disadvantages during this process. Finally, we observe that VLP internalization occurs two to three times faster in VeroE6 than in A549 cells, which may contribute to the greater susceptibility of the former cell line to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Taken together, our precise measurements of the kinetics of VLP internalization-associated processes shed light on their contribution to the effectiveness of SARS-CoV-2 propagation in cells.

Published: August 2024

Mexico is home to 14 species of lagomorphs, 6 of which are endemic. Studies on diseases affecting native lagomorphs are scarce, and in most cases, the impact on their populations remains largely unknown. Rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV), especially the RHDV2 variant, causes a serious and extremely contagious disease, resulting in high mortality rates and major declines in wild lagomorph populations. The objectives of this study were to identify disease hotspots and critical biodiversity regions in Mexico through the combined use of disease information and lagomorph distribution maps and to determine the areas of greatest concern. In total, 19 states of Mexico recorded RHDV2 from April 2020 to August 2021, and 12 of them reported the wild species Sylvilagus audubonii, Lepus californicus, and unidentified Leporidae species. The distribution of RHDV2 in Mexico can be closely predicted from climatic variables. RHDV2 hotspots are located in the central-southern area of the Mexican Highlands and the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, where the virus affects multiple species. This knowledge is essential for proposing specific actions to manage and preserve lagomorph populations at risk and address these issues as soon as possible.

Published: August 2024

In order to study the effect of freeze−thaw cycles on the content of available nitrogen in soils of different crops and obtain an in-depth understanding of changes in soil fertility and soil environment in cold regions, a laboratory simulation experiment was conducted with different freeze−thaw times, temperature differences, and periods. The changes in available nitrogen concentrations in the 0–15 cm and 15–30 cm layers of corn, vegetable, and paddy soils were measured by the alkaline-hydrolysis diffusion method. The results were as follows. (1) The freeze−thaw process had significant effects on the available nitrogen content in the three soils. Under the treatment with different numbers of freeze−thaw cycles, the available nitrogen content in the 0–15 cm layers of corn soil, vegetable soil, and paddy soil reached the maximum values at the 8th, 1st, and 3rd freeze−thaw cycle, at 156.92 mg/kg, 479.17 mg/kg and 181.75 mg/kg, respectively; the available nitrogen content decreased slowly after reaching the maximum value. (2) Under the freeze−thaw temperature-difference treatment, the available nitrogen concentration in the 0–15 cm layers of corn soil, vegetable soil, and paddy soil reached the maximum value at a temperature difference of 30 °C, at 147 mg/kg, 476 mg/kg and 172.5 mg/kg, respectively, and the available nitrogen content of the 15–30 cm soil layers changed slightly. (3) Under different freeze−thaw periods, the magnitudes of the changes in soil available nitrogen concentration in 0–15 cm of corn soil and paddy soil were, in descending order, short-term freezing and long-term melting > long-term freezing and long-term melting > short-term freezing and short-term melting > long-term freezing and short-term melting. The soil available nitrogen concentration at different depths in the vegetable soil reached the maximum value under the treatment with long-term freezing and short-term melting. (4) The available nitrogen content of paddy soil under the high-water-content condition was higher than that of paddy soil under the low-water-content condition, and the change in available nitrogen content was more obvious under the high-water-content condition under different freeze−thaw period treatments; the opposite was true for corn soil and vegetable soil. Simulation studies on rapid changes in soil nitrogen content during tests that simulate winter freeze−thaw conditions are important for understanding crop growth, the application of nitrogen fertilizer in spring, and the prevention of surface-water pollution from agricultural runoff.

Authors: Li Jinpeng , Wang Xuexia , Wu Lei
Published: August 2024

In order to explore the sediment deposition characteristic of ecological riverbanks associated with vegetation restoration in the deep waterway regulation scheme of Yangtze River, two kinds of typical ecological riverbanks and a traditional riprap riverbank (TRR) in engineering areas were investigated. The vegetation community characteristics, sediment aggregate compositions, nutrient contents, total organic carbon (TOC), sediment microbial biomass carbon (MBC), sediment microbial biomass nitrogen (MBN), and sediment microbial biomass phosphorus (MBP) were determined. The results indicated that the ecological restoration effect of the lattice gabion ballasted vegetation mat riverbank (LGBVR) was best, followed by the mesh grid riverbank (MGR), and that of the TRR was relatively poor. In different ecological riverbanks, the sediment aggregated compositions were not significantly varied. The sediment contents of NH4+-N, available phosphorus (AP), and TOC in ecological riverbank areas were relatively higher than those of the TRR. In the LGBVR, the sediment contents of MBC were relatively higher than those of the others. The sediment deposition characteristics and ecological restoration effects in the study area should be monitored for a long time.

Published: August 2024

Water utilities are facing significant challenges, such as supplying, with less water resources, more and more water due to population growth, amid the current scenario of climate change. In this context, urban water systems represent a crucial component of global public infrastructure for water utilities, with municipalities entrusted with the responsibility of managing and enhancing them for both current and future generations. The main challenge arises when these infrastructures inevitably age and deteriorate, significantly increasing water losses. Since it is unrealistic and unnecessary to rehabilitate and/or replace all pipes in an existing water distribution system, this manuscript is focused on identifying the independent key parameters which can be used to detect reinforced concrete pipe deterioration. To this end, the variables that affect mechanical properties are narrowed down, and the most significant factors crucial for pipe failure are identified. In this process, reinforced concrete pipe samples were collected to characterize them based on a set of potential key parameters. All potential key parameters were analyzed, with the objectives of identifying which key parameters were significant for the model and determining the interactions among them. All data were stored in a dataset which was used to generate a predictive model to estimate average concrete strength and pipe condition assessment versus independent key parameters. The predictive model, utilizing a design of experiments (DoE) and based on the analysis of variance (ANOVA), could estimate the average concrete strength with an accuracy of around 90%, and the external porosity was found to be the main factor. On the other hand, it was also possible to estimate a range of porosity values for the purpose of maintaining the reinforced concrete pipe in optimal condition.

Published: August 2024

The rotating annular flume has been widely adopted to generate quasi-steady and uniform flow, thus serving for the investigation of sediment motion characteristics. This complex flow structure is significantly associated with the rotational speed ratio. The present study aims to explore the optimal speed ratio based on the OpenFOAM simulation. In this paper, the physical properties of a rotating annular flume with different speed ratios are investigated and analyzed in terms of bottom shear stress, turbulent velocity ratio, cross-sectional secondary flow, and vector field by interFoam, a built-in solver of the open-source CFD program OpenFOAM. The RNG k-epsilon model has been adopted to solve multiphase flow problems. The results demonstrate that the optimal speed ratio differs with the specific evaluation criterion. Given the uniform distribution of bottom shear stress, the turbulence velocity ratio, and the minimum secondary flow as the evaluation criteria, the corresponding optimal speed ratios are determined as 1.2, 1.7, and 1.7, respectively. The conclusion is generally consistent with the results derived by other scholars. Computational fluid dynamics programs have been proven as practical tools for investigating complex hydrodynamic characteristics. The present study shares useful insights into the optimal rotational speed ratio of a rotating annular flume. The OpenFOAM-based numerical model will provide guidance for experimental research using rotating annular flumes.

Published: August 2024

Accurate land-use and land-cover (LULC) mapping is crucial for effective watershed management and hydrological modeling in arid regions. This study examines the use of high-resolution PlanetScope imagery for LULC mapping, change detection, and hydrological modeling in the Wadi Ham watershed, Fujairah, UAE. The authors compared LULC maps derived from Sentinel-2 and PlanetScope imagery using maximum likelihood (ML) and random forest (RF) classifiers. Results indicated that the RF classifier applied to PlanetScope 8-band imagery achieved the highest overall accuracy of 97.27%. Change detection analysis from 2017 to 2022 revealed significant transformations, including a decrease in vegetation from 3.371 km2 to 1.557 km2 and an increase in built-up areas from 3.634 km2 to 6.227 km2. Hydrological modeling using the WMS-GSSHA model demonstrated the impact of LULC map accuracy on simulated runoff responses, with the most accurate LULC dataset showing a peak discharge of 1160 CMS at 930 min. In contrast, less accurate maps showed variations in peak discharge timings and magnitudes. The 2022 simulations, reflecting urbanization, exhibited increased runoff and earlier peak flow compared to 2017. These findings emphasize the importance of high-resolution, accurate LULC data for reliable hydrological modeling and effective watershed management. The study supports UAE’s 2030 vision for resilient communities and aligns with UN Sustainability Goals 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and 13 (Climate Action), highlighting its broader relevance and impact.

Ana Lins dos Guimarães Peixoto Bretas, natural de Goiás, ficou conhecida como Cora Coralina por causa de sua obra repleta de lembranças. Mesmo tendo iniciado sua carreira de escritora de forma tardia, ela deixou sua marca na história do Brasil como uma poetisa popular. Dessa forma, alcançou o reconhecimento como uma das mais importantes representantes da Literatura Brasileira. O presente estudo, sobre o breve conto coralino “O Rio da Vida” revela novos aspectos da interação entre arte e religião, uma temática profundamente humana que desafia o/a artista a responder de maneira criativa, demonstrando sua espiritualidade. É um conto para fazer-nos refletir sobre o presente e futuro numa comunhão telúrica e cósmica. Objetiva, pois, a mística, a força e o apelo maternal universal no poder de recriar uma experiência vivida de sua unitária obra poética. A expressão artística é, portanto, também uma prática espiritual. Nesse contexto, encontramos Cora Coralina, uma artista de Goiás que soube interpretar a cultura e o mundo ao seu redor e transformá-los em poesia. Seus escritos emitem um senso de espiritualidade, independentemente da religião, o que a torna uma mística autêntica de nossa era.
Guardiões da tradição
Authors: Curcio Rafael
Published: August 2024

O presente trabalho esboça uma análise sociológica da atuação de perfis identificados como católicos tradicionalistas na rede social TikTok. Tais perfis apregoam elementos do repertório católico-tradicionalista, especialmente, a missa tridentina, em meio a discursos ofensivos carregados de mensagens anti-modernistas, direcionadas contra minorias sociais, grupos religiosos e até católicos ditos “modernistas”. Essa atuação verificada contradiz a expectativa do cultivo do ecumenismo e de práticas litúrgicas acessíveis à população leiga a fim de atraí-la ao rebanho católico, no sentido do aggiornamento promovido pelo Vaticano II. A explicação que sugerimos para tal fenômeno, com base na teoria do mercado religioso, é que o fetiche pelo tradicional, além de ser efeito das disputas internas no campo do catolicismo, compõe uma estratégia de proselitismo religioso, em que o conjunto de elementos tradicionais romanos, envelopado numa estética sacra barroca, é a commodity religiosa oferecida no mercado religioso, em concorrência com outros grupos, sobretudo, os de matriz protestante.

В статье приведены результаты исследований по изучению влияния различных концентраций ИМК и добавки Экогеля на корнеобразовательный процесс растений крыжовника на этапе «укоренение in vitro». Закладка плантаций высококачественным оздоровленным посадочным материалом, полученным методом клонального микроразмножения, является необходимым условием получения высоких и регулярных урожаев крыжовника. Использование регуляторов роста при клональном размножении, позволяет управлять процессами регенерации растений. Содержание в питательной среде Мурасиге-Скуга ауксина ИМК способствует значительному увеличению количества корней у растений-регенерантов крыжовника (в среднем - 3,1 шт.), в варианте с ИМК 0,5 мг/л - 5,4 шт., с ИМК 1,0 мг/л - 6,3 шт. Добавление в питательную среду Экогеля в концентрации 0,5 мг/л способствовало увеличению количества корней в среднем от 4,8 до 5,1 см. Выявлено, что при повышении концентрации ауксина ИМК от 0,5 до 1,0 мг/л в питательной среде MS количество корней и суммарная длина растений-регенерантов крыжовника увеличивались, а средняя длина немного уменьшалась. Наличие в питательной среде Экогеля в концентрации 0,5 мг/л способствует значительному увеличению суммарной длины корней (в среднем - 13,1 см), без Экогеля - 10,8 см. При добавлении в питательную среду Экогель в концентрации 0,5 мг/л оказал благоприятное влияние на процесс корнеобразования.

Published: August 2024

En los últimos años investigaciones en torno a la última dictadura militar argentina han puesto su énfasis en lo que, desde una perspectiva foucaultiana, es posible denominar como “dimensión productiva del poder” (Risler, 2018). En estos enfoques, las políticas culturales adquieren una singular relevancia, ya que permiten visualizar en la estrategia de las Fuerzas Armadas el lugar central que ocupaba la apuesta por construir consenso y ganar el apoyo de la población. En este trabajo buscaremos hacer un aporte a estas líneas de investigación a partir del análisis de las gestiones de los dos principales teatros oficiales emplazados en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires durante el período dictatorial: el Teatro Nacional Cervantes (TNC), a cargo de Rodolfo Graziano, y el Teatro Municipal General San Martín (TMGSM), encabezado por Kive Staiff. En ambos casos, nos interesa pensar los modos en los que estas administraciones fortalecieron, tensionaron o produjeron una dinámica ambigua respecto de las premisas centrales de las políticas culturales del régimen militar, en lo que refiere a los planes de integración regional, a la legitimación de poéticas dramáticas específicas y a las formas de difusión de sus producciones en los diversos momentos políticos del período 1976-1983.

El golpe de Estado de septiembre de 1955 constituyó el acontecimiento más visible del proceso de conflictividad política y social que tuvo lugar durante la segunda presidencia de Juan Domingo Perón. Una de las características de esta etapa fue la incorporación de la Iglesia Católica al sector antiperonista, que dio a los partidos políticos un importante elemento legitimador, ensanchando las bases de la oposición. A partir de entonces se multiplicaron los episodios de violencia y se aceleraron los planes conspirativos. La escalada de conflictos se vio jalonada por medidas de conciliación ensayadas por el gobierno con el fin de descomprimir la tensión y evitar la agudización de la confrontación política. En este artículo exploramos esta dinámica analizando los últimos años del gobierno peronista en Chaco -denominado entonces provincia “Presidente Perón”- atendiendo a las particularidades de este espacio, donde el peronismo había construido una fuerza hegemónica y exhibía una fuerte impronta sindical, así como estrechos vínculos con la Iglesia Católica.
