Adsorption properties and porous structure of acid treated natural heulandite-containing tuff from the Rkoni plot of the Tedzami deposit (Eastern Georgia), a mixture of heulandite and chabazite from the Chankanay deposit (Kazakhstan, Almaty region), and clinoptilolite-containing tuff from the Nor Kokhb deposit (Armenia, Noyemberian region), selected for the creation of new bactericidal zeolite filter materials for purification and desinfection of water from various sources, have been studied by water, benzene and nitrogen adsorption measurements. It was found that micropores of heulandite and clinoptilolite are in any case accessible to small water molecules; in Kazakhstani zeolite, they become accessible only after acid treatment, which also leads to a slight increase in surface hydrophobicity for all samples. Low-temperature nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms show acid-mediated sharp increase of adsorption in micropores and of the BET surface area, as well as changes in the mesoporous systems, leading to the prevalence of small pores with a diameter up to 4 nm in Georgian and Kazakhstani samples, and up to 3 nm in Armenian clinoptilolite, retaining larger pores in this sample, albeit reducing their volume.

Authors: Sasarari Yuliana , Cabuy Reinardus Liborius , Wahyudi Wahyudi
Published: April 2023

Wood is very susceptible material from termite attacks. A simple, cheapest method to prevent this attack is coating treatment. On this work, three inferior wood species collected from Manokwari – Papua Barat, namely Pulai (Alstonia scholaris), Binuang (Octomeles sumatrana), and Jambu (Syzygium sp.) were coated with two coating systems of oiled and water- based coatings. Coating was applied using paint brush on wood samples with dimensions, 50 cm long x 5 cm wide x 2.5 cm thick. Durability was conducting with grave yard test, where half-length of wood samples, coated and uncoated samples, were buried on the yard for the three consecutive months. Wood durability was evaluated using two variables, wood weight loss, and wood damage, respectively, and analyses into other variables likes wood resistance class, level of resistance, degree of damage, and natural durability classes. The results indicated that both coated systems, oiled and water based, had an average of spreading rates from 0.005-0.015 g/cm2. Weight loss of three inferior species of wood recorded from the control samples are 38.65%, 12.12%, and 6.14% for Pulai, Binuang and Jambu. Treatment with coating systems, weight loss could be prevented into 95.1%, 58.2% and 56.0% to control for Pulai, Binuang and Jambu, respectively.  Wood resistance class of Pulai is IV. Binuang and jambu species initially is Moderate Resistant (III) and improve into Resistant (II). It is summarized that coating systems available in the local market could protect wood from subterranean termites.

ITALICA, an extensive and accurate spatio-temporal catalogue of rainfall-induced landslides in Italy
Authors: Peruccacci Silvia , Gariano Stefano Luigi , Melillo Massimo , Solimano Monica , Guzzetti Fausto , Brunetti Maria Teresa
Published: April 2023

Abstract. Italy is frequently hit and damaged by landslides, resulting in substantial and widespread disruptions. In particular, slope failures have a high impact on the population, communication infrastructure and the economic and productive sectors. The hazard posed by landslides requires adequate responses for landslide risk mitigation, with special attention to the risk to the population. In 2006 the Italian Department of Civil Protection, an Office of the Prime Minister, commissioned the Research Institute for Geo-Hydrological Protection (Istituto di Ricerca per la Protezione Idrogeologica), a research institute of the Italian National Research Council, to carry out operational forecasting of rainfall induced-landslides. Collecting landslide information in a catalogue is a preliminary action toward landslide forecasting. The use of spatially and temporally inaccurate landslide catalogues results in an uncertain and unreliable operational landslide forecasting. Consequently, accurate catalogues are needed to reduce the uncertainties, which are to some extent unavoidable. To this end, over the last 15 years many researchers have been involved in compiling a catalogue called ITALICA (ITAlian rainfall-induced LandslIdes CAtalogue), which currently lists 6312 records with information on rainfall-induced landslides that occurred over the Italian territory between January 1996 and December 2021. Overall, more than a third of the catalogue has very high geographic accuracy (less than 1 km2) and hourly temporal resolution. In contrast, less than 2 % of the catalogue have low and very low geographical accuracy and daily temporal resolution. This makes ITALICA the largest catalogue of rainfall-induced landslides accurately located in space and time available in Italy. Without this high level of accuracy, the precipitation responsible for the initiation of landslides cannot be reliably reconstructed, thus making the prediction of landslide occurrence ineffective. ITALICA's information on rainfall-induced landslides in Italy places a special emphasis on their spatial and temporal location, making the catalogue especially suitable for defining the rainfall conditions capable of triggering future landslides on the Italian territory. This information is fundamental for decision-making in landslide risk management.

Abstract. An ensemble of three-dimensional ensemble-variational (En-3DEnVar) data assimilations is demonstrated with the Joint Effort for Data assimilation Integration (JEDI) with the Model for Prediction Across Scales – Atmosphere (MPAS-A) (i.e., JEDI-MPAS). Basic software building blocks are reused from previously presented deterministic 3DEnVar functionality, and combined with a formal experimental workflow manager in MPAS-Workflow. En-3DEnVar is used to produce an 80-member ensemble of analyses, which are cycled with ensemble forecasts in a 1-month experiment. The ensemble forecasts approximate a purely flow-dependent background error covariance (BEC) at each analysis time. The En-3DEnVar BECs and prior ensemble mean forecast errors are compared to those produced by a similar experiment that uses the Data Assimilation Research Testbed (DART) Ensemble Adjustment Kalman Filter (EAKF). The experiment using En-3DEnVar produces similar ensemble spread to and slightly smaller errors than the EAKF. The ensemble forecasts initialized from En-3DEnVar and EAKF analyses are used as BECs in deterministic cycling 3DEnVar experiments, which are compared to a control experiment that uses 20-member MPAS-A forecasts initialized from Global Ensemble Forecast System (GEFS) initial conditions. The experimental ensembles achieve mostly equivalent or better performance than the off-the-shelf ensemble system in this deterministic cycling setting; although, there are many obvious differences in configuration between GEFS and the two MPAS ensemble systems. An additional experiment that uses hybrid 3DEnVar, which combines the En-3DEnVar ensemble BEC with a climatological BEC, increases tropospheric forecast quality compared to the corresponding pure 3DEnVar experiment. The JEDI-MPAS En-3DEnVar is technically working and useful for future research studies. Tuning of observation errors and spread is needed to improve performance and several algorithmic advancements are needed to improve computational efficiency for larger-scale applications.
Coupled thermo-geophysical inversion for permafrost monitoring
Authors: Tomaškovičová Soňa , Ingeman-Nielsen Thomas
Published: April 2023

Abstract. Conventional approaches in permafrost monitoring, including thermal measurements, core analyses and borehole geophysical logs, have drawbacks for long-term predictions of permafrost thermal state because of their discrete character and high cost. In order to accurately simulate and forecast thermal regime of the active layer and permafrost at a comparatively lower cost, we combined traditional thermal measurements with surface geophysical acquisitions. The fully coupled inversion scheme used only ground surface temperature data and time lapse geoelectrical measurements to calibrate a heat conduction model. The apparent resistivity data were incorporated into the coupled framework without being inverted separately, thus reducing the uncertainty inevitably associated with inverted resistivity models, especially on challenging permafrost terrain. The fully coupled modeling framework using field data achieved performance comparable to calibration on borehole temperature records, in terms of model fit within 0.6 °C, inversion convergence metrics as well as the predictive performance of the calibrated model.
Investigations of correlation and coherence in turbulence from a large-eddy simulation
Authors: Thedin Regis , Quon Eliot , Churchfield Matthew , Veers Paul
Published: April 2023

Abstract. Microscale flow descriptions are often given in terms of mean quantities, turbulent kinetic energy, and/or stresses. Those metrics, while valuable, give limited information about turbulent eddies and coherent turbulent structures. This work investigates the structure of an atmospheric boundary layer using coherence and correlation in space and time with a range of separation distances. We calculate spatial correlations over entire planes of velocity fluctuations, from which we can evaluate the correlation along different directions at different spacings. Similarly, coherence of the three velocity components over separations in the three directions is also investigated. We apply these analyses to a mesoscale–microscale coupled scenario with time-varying conditions and examine nuances in spatial correlations that are often overlooked. Through these analyses and results, this work highlights important differences observed in terms of coherence when comparing large-eddy simulation data to simpler models and suggests ways to improve these simpler models. We note that such differences are important for disciplines like wind energy structural dynamic analysis, in which blade loading and fatigue depend strongly on the structure of the turbulence. We emphasize the additional wealth of data that can be provided by typical atmospheric boundary layer large-eddy simulation when correlation and coherence analysis is included, and we also state the limitations of large-eddy simulation data, which inherently truncate the smaller scales of turbulence.
A novel framework of leveraging large scale trajectories for route choice modelling
Authors:   , Advani Chintan
Published: April 2023

The thesis provides a systematic framework for using large-scale vehicle trajectory data from Bluetooth MAC scanners to model route choice behavior. The framework consists of three main objectives: developing trip/trajectory information, developing a path choice set, and calibrating and validating route choice models. The study proposes a STATER algorithm to obtain trajectory information and a bi-level vehicle trajectory clustering framework to develop a path choice set. The study also uses large-scale Bluetooth trajectories and traffic state information to model route choice behavior. Lastly, the study demonstrates an empirical traffic assignment process that utilises the observed travel time.

In this study, which aims to examine the structural variables in the process of rebuilding the cultural fabric in the context of educational philosophy, culture, cultural texture, structural process, the importance of culture for individuals, societies and institutions will be discussed. Culture provides the satisfaction of physiological and social needs of individuals. Individuals form their personalities by learning the good, the truth, the beautiful and the ugly by being influenced by the cultural characteristics of the society in which they live. In addition, people who believe in the same culture provide social solidarity between individuals because they agree Decently on the protection of certain values. Society and culture are two elements that complement each other. Wherever there is a society, we can talk about culture. Society transfers it to the next generations by creating changes in the cultural elements it inherits or without changing them. Culture lives in a cumulative way. Since institutions are organizations that live in society, they are influenced by the culture in which they live. In order to achieve their goals, enterprises should take into account environmental factors and therefore the characteristics of the culture in which they operate. Since the employees of the institution are representatives of a culture, they also carry the characteristics of the culture they belong to to the institution. Institutions may consist of individuals with different cultural characteristics. Culture is decisive in connecting both business employees with each other and employees to the goals of enterprises. Organizations need the support of employees in order to achieve their goals. Key Words: Educational Philosophy, Cultural Texture, Structural Variables

Curtis Gates Lloyd, self-taught but knowledgeable amateur mycologist, wielded inordinate power through his self-supported publications during the period 1885–1925. His idiosyncrasies were exhibited also during his extensive travel and residence in Europe. Two subjects drew his
ire to specific workers: 1) Lloyd concluded that the numbers of fungi were limited, especially the mycota of Europe versus North America, so what he considered an inflated number of taxa was unwarranted; and 2) the accepted and "legislated" custom of adding the names of authors following nomenclatural
binomials, which Lloyd considered personal 'advertising.' While the number of victims was measured in scores, four recipients of Lloyd's criticisms are selected and summarized: Lee Oras Overholts, George Francis Atkinson, George Edward Massee, and Edward Angus Burt.

“Atomic Lake” is one of the objects visited by tourists at Semipalatinsk test site. In this regard, the calculation of the radiation dose received by a person on “Atomic Lake” in conditions of high radiation is relevant. Behavioral scenarios typical when visiting the territory of “Atomic Lake” are highlighted: “Tourist”, “Staff”, “Farmer”.

In the method used, the effective dose is represented as the sum of partial doses from external gamma radiation from the soil, inhalation intake of radionuclides, oral intake of radionuclides with food. The calculations used data obtained by the branch of RSE National Research Center of the Republic of Kazakhstan “Institute of Radiation Safety and Ecology”.   In behavioral scenarios, the annual effective dose is represented as the sum of partial doses from external gamma radiation from the soil, inhalation intake of radionuclides, oral intake of radionuclides from food.

The results of the calculation of radiation doses showed that permanent residence of the population in this territory is excluded, since it leads to exceeding the annual effective radiation dose of the population established by the hygienic standard (GN SETORB). No excess of the annual effective dose is expected when Group A personnel and tourists visit the “Atomic Lake”, and the main source of exposure is external radiation from radionuclide137Cs. At the same time, when living in the study area, the annual effective dose with oral intake of radionuclides with water leads to an excess of the established annual effective radiation dose of the population.

The purpose of this work is to establish regularities in the processes of phase formation in Al2O3-Si3N4 ceramics in the annealing temperature range from 800 to 1500 °C, as well as to determine the effect of the phase composition of ceramics on strength properties. Interest in this class of composite ceramics is due to the possibility of using them as materials for inert matrices of dispersed nuclear fuel. The evaluation of the phase composition as a result of thermal annealing of the samples was carried out using the method of X-ray phase analysis. In the course of the analysis, the following phase transformations were established: Si3N4/Al2O3 → Si3N4/Al2O3-M/Al2O3-R → Si3N4/Al2O3-R/Al2SiO5 → Al2SiO5/SiO2, according to which a change in the annealing temperature leads to polymorphic transformations of aluminum oxide with an increase in the annealing temperature, as well as the formation of a complex oxide phase of the Al2SiO5 type. At the same time, at an annealing temperature above 1400 °C, a transformation of the Si3N4 → SiO2 type is observed, associated with the processes of decomposition of silicon nitride and its transformation into silicon oxide upon interaction with air during annealing. It was found that the primary processes during annealing of ceramics are the processes of structural ordering of samples, without a significant change in the phase ratio.

A system has been created for extracting and transporting light radiation from the irradiation chamber and the protective box of the INURA accelerator. Light outside the protective box is recorded using compact spectrometers, photomultipliers, photodetectors in the range from 300 nm to 2.1 µm. At present, the accelerator operates in the ion acceleration mode; the number of problems to be solved should increase when switching to the electron acceleration mode. The system was tested in the registration of light radiation from the interelectrode gap of the diode assembly. Lines of a hydrogen atom and an oxygen atom associated with the decomposition of absorbed water vapor and the discharge over the dielectric surface at the anode of the high-current accelerator diode have been registered.

The paper presents the characteristics of the plant cover at the ‘Lazurit’ object including the content of tritium (3Н): tissue free water tritium (TFWT) and organically bound tritium (OBT). There were 5 major ecosystem types noted: ecosystems of low-hill terrain, high and low hummocks, deluvial-proluvial and alluvial plains. The content of OBT in the plant cover of the study area was found to be insignificant and, in most cases, below the detection limit of the methodological instrumentation in use. Quantitative values reported for TFWT and OBT average 6 to 81 Bq/kg and <10 to 37 Bq/kg, respectively, with a maximum near the mouth site of borehole R-1 (TFWT – 29,000±3,000 Bq/kg, OBT – 14,000±2,000 Bq/kg). At the same time, the ratio of OBT/ TFWT (0.8) points to the presence of a recent source of 3Н entry into plants.

La aplicación de bajas dosis de radiación gamma conocida como “hórmesis” tiene efectos metabólicos y fisiológicos de corto plazo en las plantas, que en algunas experiencias ha permitido aumentar la germinación de las semillas, el enraizamiento de las estacas y el crecimiento inicial de las plantas. Existiría además una relación con efectos epigenéticos que se manifestarían como respuestas adaptativas en las especies irradiadas.  Para dilucidar la magnitud de los efectos de hórmesis se irradió semillas de Eucalyptus nitens con dosis de 0, 10, 20 y 30 Gy de radiación gamma, la semilla se viverizó y las plantas obtenidas se establecieron en un ensayo en terreno (agosto, 2021).  En este trabajo se presentan los resultados de la primera evaluación de este ensayo, después de una temporada de crecimiento en terreno, y se discute respecto de la existencia de efecto de las dosis de irradiación sobre el crecimiento inicial de plantas de E. nitens en condiciones de plantación forestal.

Se presenta un documentado análisis respecto de las plantaciones forestales y los bosques nativos, el manejo forestal sostenible y las relaciones de estos recursos forestales con la biodiversidad, y se hace una revisión de la posible adecuación de diversas técnicas silvícolas para su manejo orientadas a favorecer la biodiversidad.
El análisis indica que las plantaciones nunca deben sustituir bosques nativos, sin embargo, si se compara plantaciones bajo manejo sostenible establecidas en suelos forestales desarbolados y degradados por incendios y malas prácticas del pasado con la situación previa de esos terrenos, las plantaciones favorecen la biodiversidad y la silvicultura dispone de herramientas para asegurar este efecto.
En cuanto a los bosques nativos, gran parte de la superficie de estos es considerada comercial y se puede aplicar manejo forestal sostenible en esta sin comprometer la biodiversidad y generando recursos madereros y no madereros de gran importancia para las comunidades rurales, dado que parte muy importante de estos recursos está en manos de pequeños y medianos propietarios.
Drone-based thermal imaging system for identifying damaged photovoltaic modules
Authors: Cuong, Thai Hung
Published: April 2023

In this study, we found the temperature difference (MTD) between the normal part of a PV module and the damaged area is closely related to the efficiency of the module. Specifically, when the MTD is lower than a certain threshold, the efficiency of the module is significantly reduced. We also found that the MTD is closely related to the size of the damaged area. The experiment results of our study suggest that UAV and thermal imaging cameras can be used to detect and diagnose partially damaged PV modules with high accuracy. This can help reduce maintenance costs and increase the efficiency of PV systems. Moreover, this study provides a new method for diagnosing partially damaged PV modules, which can be used for further research.

Molecular genetic diagnosis methods include tests and analyses performed at the level of DNA, gene, protein, cell, and tissue, especially to determine the underlying origins of diseases. Molecular diagnosis appears because of the efficient interaction between laboratory medicine, genomic information, and technology in the field of molecular genetics. All these factors contribute to the identification and full characterization of the genetic basis of hereditary diseases, which is vital for the correct diagnosis. Current methods, such as next-generation sequencing or genome-level association studies, provide crucial insights into disease mechanisms, and genomic biomarkers provide an opportunity for physicians not only to assess disease susceptibility, but also to design and implement accurate diagnostic methods and personalize drug treatment modalities. The identification of the genes involved in human diseases has led to a significant increase in scientific data on genetic disorders. Therefore, it has allowed the emergence of new views on the pathogenesis and treatment of diseases. In general, the first clinical application of knowledge of the molecular genetic basis of a disease is in diagnosis. In many cases, molecular techniques are sensitive methods that allow precise genetic identification of individuals carrying mutations by performing DNA analysis on target tissue. DNA analysis is now routinely used in the diagnosis of individuals showing symptoms of different diseases due to mutations in single genes. In molecular diagnostic methods, DNA analyses are used for presymptomatic tests, carrier tests, and prenatal diagnosis, which can identify variants in genes involved in drug metabolism and allow personalizing of drug dosage. As new genes that contribute to the occurrence and pathogenicity of common diseases begin to be recognized, it is expected that new genetic analysis will be used to predict whether an individual is at risk for the disease and to identify subtypes that may best respond to specific treatments. Advances in molecular genetic techniques, Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, and bioinformatics tools will provide the opportunity to conduct more comprehensive molecular genetic studies and access very valuable data in scientific research. In this chapter, after discussing the techniques used in direct mutation analysis and detection of unknown mutations, microarray technology and various platforms of NGS technology and their usage areas in different research studies are discussed.

Recent discoveries and advancements of gene editing tools and artificial transcription factors as well as delivery vectors are extending the frontiers for potential applications in the gene therapy field. Gene-editing tools like CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Palindromic Repeats)-Cas9, transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), and zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs) are mainly used for correcting disease mutations or modifying genome for research purposes. However, artificial transcription factors (non-cutting gene-editing tools) together with transcriptional activators or repressors are mostly used for establishing synthetic gene regulatory networks that will either overexpress or repress several genes in a controlled manner. Applications of gene editing tools and artificial transcription factors in humans have been the focus of research for years, however, the required efficiency, safety, and applicability were not achieved until recently. Moreover, the number of human trials using these tools for gene therapy applications is increasing tremendously. With the recent discovery of a highly efficient protein delivery method, we can now further benefit from gene regulatory and gene editing tools in a transient fashion, which will minimize the undesired side effects and off-target modifications. In this chapter, we summarized the origins, mechanisms, and recent progress on gene regulation and gene editing tools with a focus on the recent translational applications.
