Authors: Bing Longfei , Ma Mingjing , Liu Lili , Wang Jiaoyue , Niu Le , Xi Fengming
Published: November 2022

Abstract. Lime is responsible for the continuous and stable absorption of CO2 from the atmosphere during its cycle via the carbonation reaction. However, the magnitude of the global uptake of CO2 by lime under natural conditions remains unclear. Here, existing data on materials associated with the production, utilisation, and disposal stages of lime-containing materials were analysed using a comprehensive model to obtain regional and global estimates for the sequestration of carbon from 1963 to 2020. The CO2 emissions linked to the production of lime during the investigated period were also estimated. The results reveal that the global uptake of CO2 by lime increased from 38.25 Mt (95 % confidence interval, CI:27.85-51.38 Mt) in 1963 to 134.33 Mt (95 % CI:90.37-139.29 Mt) in 2020. Cumulatively, approximately 4.05 Gt of CO2 (95 % CI:3.02-5.25 Gt CO2) were sequestered by lime produced between 1963 and 2020, and this amount corresponds to 38.79 % of CO2 emissions from the associated process during the period. Lime-containing materials in China accounted for 63.12 % of the total uptake, and among the three stages of the lime cycle, the utilisation stage accounted for the highest CO2 sequestration (~74.05 %). The results also demonstrate that lime, which is usually omitted from emission inventories as a carbon sink, is very important to the carbon cycle. The present study indicates that the CO2 uptake by lime can reduce the carbon footprint of lime production process and provide scientific proof for further research of the potential of lime-containing materials in carbon capture and storage.

Short Communication: Evaluating the accuracy of binary classifiers for geomorphic applications
Authors: Rossi Matthew William
Published: November 2022

Abstract. Airborne lidar has revolutionized our ability to map out fine-scale (~1-m) topographic features at watershed- to landscape-scales. As our ‘vision’ of land surface has improved, so has our need for more robust quantification of the accuracy of the geomorphic maps we derive from these data. One broad class of mapping challenges is that of binary classification where remote sensing data are used to identify the presence or absence of a given feature. Fortunately, there are a large suite of metrics developed in the data sciences that are well suited to quantifying pixel-level accuracy of binary classifiers. In this paper, I focus on the challenge of identifying bedrock from lidar topography, though the insights gleaned from this analysis apply to any task where there is a need to quantify how the number and extent of landforms are expected to vary as a function of the environmental forcing. Using a suite of synthetic maps, I show how the most widely used pixel-level accuracy metric, F1-score, is particularly poorly suited to quantifying accuracy for this kind of application. Well-known biases to imbalanced data are exacerbated by methodological strategies that attempt to calibrate and validate classifiers across a range of geomorphic settings where feature abundances vary. Matthews Correlation Coefficient largely removes this bias such that the sensitivity of accuracy scores to geomorphic setting instead embeds information about the error structure of the classification. To this end, I examine how the scale of features (e.g., the typical sizes of bedrock outcrops) and the type of error (e.g., random versus systematic) manifest in pixel-level scores. The normalized version of Matthews Correlations Coefficient is relatively insensitive to feature scale if error is random and if large enough areas are mapped. In contrast, a strong sensitivity to feature size and shape emerges when classifier error is systematic. My findings highlight the importance of choosing appropriate pixel-level metrics when evaluating topographic surfaces where feature abundances strongly vary. It is necessary to understand how pixel-level metrics are expected to perform as a function of scene-level properties before interpreting empirical observations.

Published: November 2022

Abstract. In light of ongoing global climate crisis and related increases in extreme hydrological events, it is increasingly crucial to assess ecosystem resilience and - in agricultural systems - to ensure sustainable management and food security. For that, comprehensive understanding of ecosystem water cycle budgets and spatio-temporal dynamics are indispensable. Evapotranspiration (ET) plays a pivotal role returning up to 90 % of ingoing precipitation back to the atmosphere. Here, we studied impacts of soil types and management on an agroecosystems water budgets and agronomic water use efficiencies (WUEagro). To do so, a plot experiment with winter rye (September 17, 2020 to June 30, 2021) was conducted at an eroded cropland which is located in the hilly and dry ground moraine landscape of the Uckermark region in NE Germany. Along the experimental plot (110 m x 16 m), a gantry crane mounted mobile and automated two chamber system (FluxCrane as part of the AgroFlux platform within the CarboZALF-D research site) was used to continuously determine evapotranspiration for the first time. Three soil types representing the full soil erosion gradient related to the hummocky ground moraine landscape (extremely eroded: Calcaric Regosol, strongly eroded: Nudiargic Luvisol, non-eroded: Calcic Luvisol) and additional soil manipulation (topsoil removal and subsoil admixture) were investigated (randomized block design, 3 replicates per treatment). Five different gap-filling approaches were used and compared in light of their potential for reliable water budgets over the entire crop growth period as well as reproduce short-term (day-to-day, diurnal) water flux dynamics. The best calibration performance was achieved with approaches based on machine learning, such as support vector machine (SVM) and artificial neural networks (with Bayesian regularization; ANN_BR), while especially SVM yielded in best predictions of measured ET during validation. We found significant differences in dry biomass (DM) and minor in evapotranspiration between soil types, resulting in different water use efficiencies (WUEagro). The Calcaric Regosol (extremely eroded) shows a maximum of around 37 % lower evapotranspiration and a maximum of around 52 % lower water use efficiency (WUEagro) compared to the non-eroded Calcic Luvisol. The key period contributing to ~ 70 % of overall ET of the entire growth period was from April until harvest, however differences in the overall ET budget (ETsum) between soil types and manipulation resulted predominantly from small long-term differences between the treatments over the entire growth period.

Is informal transport flexible?
Authors: Kerzhner Tamara
Published: November 2022

Informal transport is often described as flexible, reactive, demand responsive, niche-filling, and in-tune with passenger needs. This paper proposes expanded definitions of flexibility in the operations of informal transport networks and presents a theoretical framing for understanding the growth and change in the locations of routes and terminals. Based on surveys and interviews of transport workers and regulators in four African cities, it argues that individually competing vehicles encounter coordination failures that limit their incentives for searching out niche services. Meanwhile, in cities with localized, route-based associations, organizations of multiple vehicles are able to take on the initiative and risk of developing new service locations and responding to passenger demand. This is done through a complex, gradual process that includes temporary subsidies to drivers and operators, testing and measuring potential demand, and advertising the new route. The key mechanism is in competition not between individual drivers, who manage internal competition carefully with a variety of mechanisms to distribute income opportunities fairly, but between firms and associations over territorial coverage. This not only opens potential for engaging transport associations in planning and policymaking, but also reveals limitations to the coverage and equity of access offered by existing networks and incentive structures.

The electromagnetic field (EMF) has an effect on various organs, including the female reproductive system. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of carnosine on ovarian follicle number and diameter in rats exposed to a 900 Megahertz (Mhz) electromagnetic field. In this study, six different groups were used. 40 female rats divided into groups were evaluated. The ovaries of the rats were removed at the end of the study. Routine histological procedures were performed on ovarian tissues. Follicle number and diameter of all groups were calculated and evaluated under the light microscope. When primary follicle number and diameters were compared statistically among the groups, there was a remarkably meaningful difference between the EMF group and the control, 20 mg carnosine and EMF+20 mg carnosine groups (p<0.05). There were significant irregularities in the structure of the oocyte and the granulosa cells surrounding the oocyte, especially in the EMF-treated groups. However, the structure of the oocyte and the granulosa cells surrounding the oocyte in the EMF+20 mg carnosine group showed a more regular structure compared to the EMF group. In this study, it can be concluded that the number and diameter of ovarian follicles decreased in rats exposed to electromagnetic field and 20 mg of carnosine may prevent damage caused by EMF.
Comics into Adversary: A consideration of how comics thinking can inform the representational challenges of post-crisis creative writing
Authors: Scott Ronnie
Published: November 2022

What can formalist comics studies contribute to creative writing practice? This consideration of an experience in unconsciously applying comics thinking to creative writing shows how notions familiar to comics studies can enrich creative writing. The essay articulates the challenges of writing contemporary gay male “post-crisis” fiction, which troubles the foundations of many representational strategies familiar to creative writers, raising questions about the relationship between what can be shown and what can be known. In comics, where spatialised relationships are foregrounded and help guide representational strategies such as focalisation and description, these foundations become decentred and malleable. Yet, rather than using comics thinking to resolve problems in creative writing – the temptation of applied practice – this paper shows how looking at representational strategies across media can allow challenges to constitute a piece of creative writing and therefore stop being problems to be “solved” but rather to be negotiated within a particular work. The discussion contributes to comics studies and creative writing through highlighting echoes and distortions between the two linked disciplines; theory and method from one creative discipline may be formally applied to another, but the benefits of using cognate disciplines to “think through” problems can also be indirect and discursive.
The writing is the method: Process, method, research in Fiona McGregor’s A Novel Idea
Authors: Shirm Gretchen
Published: November 2022

This essay argues that fiction writing is a distinct form of research and way of thinking in which the methodology is generated in the writing. Unlike other forms of research, the research problems arise for the writer during the act of writing. However, within an academic setting, writers are often required to set out their methodology in advance of their project and provide a retrospective account in the form of an exegesis. Fiona McGregor’s A Novel Idea demonstrates the practical difficulty in both writing and paying attention to methodology at the same time, thus problematising the exegetical component of fiction writing in retrospect. A way forward might be to require fiction writers within the academy to state their aims for a piece of fiction, recognising that the methodology and knowledge will be generated within the writing. The “original contribution to knowledge” component of these aims can be assessed by the writer’s intention to create something new, whether through formal innovations or approach to subject. In terms of accountability, the writer’s capacity to deliver on their intention can be measured by their previous output and, retrospectively, by an examination of the novel itself and its drafts.
Writing an Australian farm novel: Connecting regions via magic realism
Authors: Smyth Elizabeth
Published: November 2022

Contemporary farming often involves more machines, access to information, and public pressure to protect or regenerate non-human nature than in the past. However, this is scarcely reflected in the farm novel, which is largely bound to an historical era. Australian farm novels include Benjamin Cozens’ Princess of the Mallee (1903), John Naish’s The Cruel Field (1962), Randolph Stow’s The Merry-Go-Round in the Sea (1965), and Carrie Tiffany’s Everyman’s Rules for Scientific Living (2005). Each feature realism and pre-1960s settings. In this article, I propose a major revision of the farm novel by employing magic realism to challenge Australia’s realist representations of farming as a rational, money-making enterprise. Magic realism allows me to position Australia’s dominant profit-driven approach to agriculture as fantasy and hopefully to stimulate new notions of farming and the farmer. By casting sugarcane and machines as a colonial farming alliance and humans as their marginalized subjects, I draw attention to a gradual depopulation of rural lands, subvert a persistent anthropocentric element of the settler-colonial ideology, and challenge notions of humans controlling the farm. This article is also a case study in a performance of John Kinsella’s international regionalism (He, 2021; Kinsella, 2001), in which Australia’s Wet Tropics connects with creative writing discourse.
Applying a cancer model to the generation of writing for performance: Finding (creative) life in death
Authors: Stubbings Diane
Published: November 2022

This paper outlines the creative experiment that led to the composition of Self Portrait / In Cross-Sections / With Bird, writing designed for theatrical performance. The paper sets this experiment within a critical framework that theorises a textual system. The textual system utilises the organismic dynamics of systems biology to delineate the dwelling within and shaping of imaginative spaces that results from the act of writing. Using practice-based research, the experiment seeks to investigate how biological processes might be used to generate innovations in dramatic form by analysing the implementation of one distinct biological process – the generation and proliferation of cancer. Specifically, by applying a model of composition derived from cancer biology to Shakespeare’s Hamlet, it is theorised that a dramaturgy essentially cancerous in nature might emerge. A cancerous mode of composition is realised through the transcription or copying of a foundational Hamlet text, a process which models DNA replication and which allows for a proliferation of mutation errors. The rapid and unchecked accumulation of transcription errors simulates the destructive energy of cancer, embodying the tension between chaos and order by which cancer is characterised. What emerges from the experiment are insights into the relationship between (creative) life and death within a cancerous mode of creative composition. By extrapolating from cancer to biological processes more broadly, the paper argues that a biological mode of composition – one which is alert to the inherent energy of the textual system – can enhance our understanding of the mutual emergence of character, author and text.

African locust bean (Parkia biglobosa) is one of the major seed plants used for the production of the most popular indigenous fermented condiment. Parkia biglobosa seeds were fermented for 24, 48 and 72 hours using four different fermentation containers (stainless steel, plastic and calabash), and the effect of both time and type of container were examined. The chemical and functional properties of fermented iru were determined using standard methods. Crude protein, fat, fibre, ash, carbohydrate and moisture were significant (p<0.05), with values ranging thus: (40.51–43.71%), (33.44–36.06%), (2.50–4.12%), (2.0–2.75), (8.62–15.8) and (4.59–8.58%) respectively. Increase in fermentation time caused significant changes in the following functional properties: water absorption capacity (1.5–3.0), oil absorption capacity (0.70–1.65%), bulk density (1.5–3.0) and acid value (5.02–6.51 mgKOH/g). Fermentation time and type of container were observed to influence the chemical and functional properties of iru. However, fermentation time had a better influence compared to type of fermentation container. Stainless steel proved effective for the fermentation of iru compared to other containers used, while calabash and plastic were observed to ensure optimum fermentation condition, which influenced both functional and chemical composition.

Published: November 2022

With the economy's continuous development, consumers become more mature and rational, so many keen enterprises gradually shifted their focus from the initial product development to "customer service skill" and thus obtained a good market return. Especially for the online shopping activities carried out in the virtual (digital) way, due to the particularity of its channel, it is more important to study the experience of its customers in online consumption. In addition, shopping websites and businesses selling goods through the internet should try their best to use words, pictures, video, and other media, as well as setting up more friendly interfaces. This paper takes the telepresence, pleasure, social presence, and trust in the process of online shopping as the research variables. Through the stepwise regression analysis method, it is found that telepresence can well predict the pleasure of customers in the process of online shopping. However, as the research on customer trust and positivity of perceived customer service skills is scarce, this paper can help to understand the impact of customer satisfaction on services' behavior intention, such as trying to increase the opportunities for communication with consumers and help them during the shopping process, so as to effectively increase consumers' trust in websites and businesses.

A Critical Discourse Analysis of the Attitudinal Resources in Modern English Poetry: The Appraisal System
Authors: Almohaimeed Lana S
Published: November 2022

Languages are means by which speakers and writers communicate their common beliefs and personal attitudes. This study thus sought to analyze the attitudinal resources in four modern English poems written by the international poetess Lang Leav. The main aim was to find out the kind of worldview the poetess attempted to share with her readers from the perspective of the attitudinal system. This system is divided into three sub-systems: Affect, judgment, and appreciation. After the attitudinal resources were collected and classified, the results indicated that both affect and appreciation resources were frequently used in the comprised corpus, followed by judgment resources. Moreover, the study found that Leav mostly shared a pessimistic view of love and romantic relationships. Therefore, the poetess utilized negative attributes more than positive ones throughout her compositions. Finally, this study may give useful implications about how modern English poetry is constructed based on a reliable perspective.

The Regulatory Space of Baseball: Is Global Regulation Needed to Govern the International Movement of Players?
Authors: Nichol Matt , Kawai Keiji
Published: November 2022

Occupying baseball’s regulatory space are multiple regimes that govern global labour mobility and the international transfer of amateur and professional players. Professional leagues are the key regulatory actors in this space, non-state actors responsible for establishing the controls on a player’s labour mobility within the league and to foreign competitions. The dominant regulator in baseball is Major League Baseball (‘MLB’) that acts as a de facto international sports federation and custodian of baseball. This article uses regulatory space theory to explore how globalisation forced the increased interaction between professional baseball leagues around the world. Despite the subsequent accelerated evolution of the rules and processes governing the international movement of professional baseballers, the global regime primarily consists of bilateral player agreements involving either MLB or Nippon Professional Baseball (‘NPB’) and other professional leagues in Latin America and Asia. This article will analyse how this system of regulation created numerous problems in the recruitment and movement of amateur and professional players, most notably an exploitative labour system in Latin America that potentially violates various international human rights laws and led to the human trafficking of Cuban baseball players. In response to these regulatory failures the authors propose a number of urgent reforms to ensure the global regulation of labour mobility in baseball facilitates the movement of players in line with international human rights through a global player transfer system that includes independent dispute resolution and that is operated by an independent global regulator.

Kiraz bir orman ağacı hüviyetindedir. Büyük ağaç yapma ve apikal dominansiye eğilimi yüksektir. Bu nedenle ağacın uygun bir budama ile mutlaka şekillendirilmesi gerekir. Kiraz ağaçlarının budanmasında birçok kesim tipi vardır. Ancak tepe ve seyreltme kesimleri iki temel kesim tipi olarak bilinmektedir. Tepe kesimleri sürgünlerin uç kısımlarının, sürgünün yaklaşık 1/4-1/3’ü kadar, kısaltılmasıdır. Seyreltme kesimleri ise sürgünün tümden çıkarılmasıdır. Kiraz yetiştiriciliğinde Gisela 3, Gisela 5, Gisela 6, PHL-C, PiKU 1, PiKU 3, CAB 6P gibi farklı büyüklüklerde ağaçlar yapan çok sayıda anaç bulunmaktadır. Bu anaçlardan bodur Gisela serisi üzerindeki ağaçlarda tepe kesiminin önemi birçok çalışmayla ortaya konmuştur. Fakat PiKU 3 ve CAB 6P gibi yarı kuvvetli anaçlar üzerinde tepe kesiminin yapılıp yapılmayacağına dair herhangi bir bilgi bulunmamaktadır. Oysa ülkemizde bu anaçlarla da bahçeler kurulmaktadır. Samsun’da 2019-2021 yıllarında yürütülen bu çalışmada ‘Regina’/CAB 6P ve ‘Summit’/PİKU 3 kombinasyonlarında tepe kesiminin büyüme, verim ve meyve kalitesi üzerine etkisini belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Denemede ağaç ve taç hacimleri (m3), meyve ağırlığı (g), meyve eni (mm), meyve sertliği (kg/cm2), suda çözünür kuru madde içeriği (%) ve verim (kg/ağaç) gibi özellikler incelenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda tepe kesiminin bu kombinasyonlarda ilgili parametreler bakımından etkisinin olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Bununla birlikte tepe kesiminin yan dal sayısını artırdığı ve sürgün boylarını daha makul yaptığı gözlenmiştir.

Agro-industrial waste has been widely applied in bioprocesses, among which fungiculture has been highlighted for its ability to transform waste into value-added products. Thus, this study observed two strains (474 and 572) of Pleurotus ostreatus when cultivated in residues of pineapple crown, açaí seeds and mixture of pineapple crowns and açaí seeds, and evaluated the colonization of the substrates, formation of structures and quantity of mushrooms produced. In all the substrates, it was possible to observe complete colonization, with the emergence of primordia up to 20 days. In the treatments with the 474 strain, only in the pineapple crown substrate were there three flushes of production, while in the açaí seeds and pineapple crowns and açaí seeds, there were only two flushes. As for strain 542, all treatments showed three flushes. The pineapple crown substrate provided greater production of basidiocarps (fresh mass) in strains 474 and 542. Therefore, the capacity of adaptation and development of P. ostreatus strains in different substrates was evidenced, since mushrooms were produced with characteristics similar to those reported in the literature.
