Prolonged Shipping and Fluctuating Temperatures Promote Gray Mold Development and Leaf Yellowing on Geranium Liners
Authors: Jahnke Nathan J. , Dole John M. , Shew H. David
Published: January 2019

Postharvest environments during storage and shipping are often conducive to plant stress and disease development. Liners of four cultivars of geraniums (Pelargonium ×hortorum) were evaluated every 2 days for their susceptibility to gray mold (Botrytis cinerea) and leaf yellowing over an 8-day simulated shipping period at either constant air temperature of 15 °C or variable air temperatures cycling every 24 hours between 10 and 30 °C. The latter treatment was created using air temperature logs of commercial liner shipments sent to five locations during Spring 2016 and Fall 2016. We sprayed a spore suspension of 2 × 104 or 2 × 106 to inoculate liners before they were subjected to the two temperature treatments. Disease ratings did not reach significant levels for the dry control until day 6 of storage. Regardless of the spore concentration, ratings were similar for inoculated cuttings. Independent of the storage temperature and spore concentration, liners developed minor lesions by day 2 of storage. Cultivars varied slightly in disease ratings, with Tango Dark Red being the most susceptible, followed by Patriot Bright Red, Patriot Rose Pink, and Americana Red. During the 8-day incubation period, ‘Patriot Rose Pink’ developed the most leaf yellowing compared with the other three cultivars. Liners that experienced variable air temperatures had marginal leaf yellowing by day 2, and this yellowing increased throughout the experiment. Liners placed at 15 °C had ≈50% less leaf yellowing compared with liners exposed to variable air temperatures until day 8, when leaf yellowing was similar between the two air temperature treatments. Disease caused by B. cinerea was avoided when simulated shipping was 2 days or fewer, and a stable air temperature of 15 °C reduced leaf yellowing on geranium liners compared with variable air temperatures.

Published: January 2019

This study aimed to investigate elementary school students’ needs and preferences regarding urban agriculture. In total, 1268 students in grades 4 to 6 at four elementary schools in Seoul, South Korea, participated in the study. A 21-item questionnaire was developed and distributed in each school by trained researchers for 3 weeks in Oct. 2017. More than 73.7% of the students reported having an awareness of and need for urban agriculture, and 86.8% (N = 1048) indicated their participation intention. Students noted needing urban agriculture for scientific inquiry and recommended including a learning activity in urban agriculture (35.4%, N = 400) for psychological stability and stress reduction (20.9%, N = 236), and for leisure and hobby purposes (16.2%, N = 183). Students reported participating in urban agriculture activities in indoor and outdoor spaces (33.8%, N = 423) for more than 30 minutes and less than 60 minutes (42.0%, N = 525) twice per week (40.2%, N = 501) with friends (72.9%, N = 818). Preferred urban agriculture indoor activities were planting plants (21.8%, N = 822), arranging flowers (20.9%, N = 788), and making craftwork using plants (18.9%, N = 714). Harvesting (20.8%, N = 790), watering (15.1%, N = 570), and planting transplants (13.1%, N = 493) were preferred outdoor activities. Other preferred activities included playing with livestock (22.4%, N = 884), cooking with the harvested crops (21.3%, N = 805), and feeding livestock (17.2%, N = 650). The female students demonstrated greater perception, experience, awareness of the necessity, and willingness to participate in urban agriculture compared with male students (P = 0.01). The lower the grade, the more students perceived the necessity of urban agriculture (P < 0.001). The results of this study can provide basic data for the practical development of urban agriculture programs for elementary school students.

Authors: Moyer Michelle M. , King Jaqueline , Moulton Gary
Published: January 2019

The Puget Sound American Viticulture Area (AVA), located west of the Cascade Mountain Range in Washington State, is a large and uniquely situated area with diverse topography and mesoclimates. Given the young age of the AVA, little formal information exists on the appropriate rootstock–scion combination in wine grapes (Vitis vinifera) for the region. This project reports on a series of rootstock trials from 2003 to 2007, which evaluated the influence of ‘420A Millardet et de Grasset’, ‘3309 Couderc’, ‘101-14 Millardet et de Grasset’ (all Vitis hybrids), and a self-rooted control on basic harvest metrics of the wine grape scion ‘Pinot noir clone 02A’. At the warmer site in Everson, WA, rootstocks had no effect on final juice harvest metrics measured by soluble solids, titratable acidity (TA), and pH. At the cooler site in Mount Vernon, WA, the use of rootstocks did not always influence soluble solids or pH but did reduce final harvest TA, a desired effect for the region that is typified by low sugar–high TA wines. Even with a reduction in TA in some rootstock–scion combinations, overall, TA remained at the upper end or above the range typically desired for many wine styles.

Authors: Waliczek Tina M. , Byrne Dave , Holeman Don
Published: January 2019

Rose (Rosa ×hybrida) breeders historically have bred plants based on what they personally have deemed attractive and traits required by growers to produce the crop successfully. End-user preferences were not formally considered in breeding decisions. The purpose of this study was to investigate growers’ and consumers’ opinions of roses available on the market and preferences for future roses coming into the market. A web-based survey tool was developed to measure the attributes consumers were considering in purchasing and growing rose plants, their knowledge of diseases and pests, and their hopes for new plants coming to market. A link was sent to horticultural group mailing lists as well as distributed through personal e-mail lists, Facebook, and a news release from Texas A&M University. The survey was posted for 4 months. It included ≈66 questions and took 30 minutes or more to complete. More than 2000 responses were received from rose growers and nursery consumers worldwide. The respondents preferred roses that were disease resistant, with fragrant, abundant, red, and everblooming flowers. The ideal height of the preferred rose shrubs was waist to shoulder-height. Differences were found in preferences between experienced rose growers and those who were not affiliated with rose associations on variables such as the need to use chemicals to manage diseases, the importance of foliage glossiness and large vs. small blooms, the value of roses in the garden setting, the level of difficulty roses pose in growing situations, and the willingness to pay more for a rose shrub in comparison with other garden plants. Differences also were found among age groups and preferences for flower color, fragrance, foliage color, and foliage glossiness. This information could be helpful in targeting marketing of roses.

Published: January 2019

Background. Diagnostic imaging of retroperitoneal neoplasms that arise within the retroperitoneal space but outside the major organs in this space is challenging due to the presence of large spaces filled with fatty tissue that allows the tumor to develop asymptomatically for a long time. In addition, these tumors are rare, and radiological semiotics and clinical manifestations can be nonspecific.

Case presentation. We present the rare clinical case of a 53-year-old patient with a large retroperitoneal mass detected by contrast-enhanced computed tomography. Additional imaging diagnostic procedures as well as histological findings helped to make a definitive diagnosis: extraorganic retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma arising from the muscular wall of the splenic vein.

Conclusion. The retrospective analysis of CT data showed that the tumor-induced marginal defect in the contrasted splenic vein may indicate the tumor arising from the muscular wall of the vessel. The final diagnosis was made on the basis of a morphological study.

Objective: to analyze the association between inflammatory cells with morphological heterogeneity and lymphogenous metastasis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Material and Methods. Five types of tumor structures, the level of inflammatory infiltration and the counts of CD4+ and CD8+ t-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes and macrophages in the stromal infiltrate and Langerhans cells in tumor structures were assessed in 44 patients.

Results. The presence of Langerhans cells in type 1 structures was correlated with the presence of CD3+ and CD4+ t-cells in the inflammatory infiltrate. There was a decrease in the inflammatory reaction and the number of CD3+ T cells in patients with metastatic lymph nodes compared with patients with intact lymph nodes. In patients with lymph node metastasis, the proportion of CD4+ and / or CD8+ and / or CD20+ lymphocytes in the infiltrate was higher in cases with well-differentiated tumor than in cases with poorly-differentiated tumor.

Conclusion. The results obtained showed the decrease in the level of inflammatory response, including t-cell response, as well as the relationship between the presence of Langerhans cells and stromal inflammatory response in patients with lymph node metastasis.
Natural killer cels in immunotherapy for cancer
Authors: Borobova E. A. , Zheravin A. A.
Published: January 2019

Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide behind cardiovascular diseases. Late stage of cancer at diagnosis and low efficacy of traditional cancer treatments result in low survival rate in cancer patients. Modern techniques to kill tumor cells are therefore needed. Over the last decade novel anticancer treatments have emerged from advances in our understanding of tumor cell biology, and a number of molecular and biologic targets have been identified. Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T cell) therapy is a novel adoptive immunotherapy, which is used predominantly in the treatment of hematological malignancies. Moreover, it has been evidenced that cells of the innate immune system are key players at initiating and regulating adaptive immune responses. Studies focusing on innate immune cells for cancer immunotherapy show promising results. In this review, we describe functions of natural killer cells and analyze the rationale for using natural killer cells in cancer therapy.

Published: January 2019

Tightening control over the quality and safety of food products leads to an expansion of the list of standardized indicators and the regulatory framework of research methods. Despite the lack of established standards and requirements for fatty acid composition (FAC) of meat products and the content of vegetable fats in it, methods have been developed for determining FAC and vegetable fats. The presented approaches to sample preparation make it possible to extract analytes from a sample as quickly and efficiently as possible, and the capabilities of modern analytical equipment make it possible to determine even trace amounts. The lower limit of determination of vegetable fats is 1.0 mg / kg. Ionization by electron impact, in which the molecule of the analyte breaks down into characteristic daughter ions, as well as the use of a library of mass spectra exclude obtaining false or falsepositive results.

One of the most important goals in the sphere of food safety is quality assurance and production of safe food. Nowadays studies devoted to determination of nitrates content in locally produced plant products are of very high priority. Many researches on the influence of nitrates on human health prove that nitrates are one of the external threat sources. Mineral fertilizers can cause harm if improperly stored or used. The authors give comparative characteristics for nitrites content in plant products contrasting regulatory documents in European Union and Customs Union. They point out threshold limit values and their influence on human body. In some samples of cucumbers nitrates content exceeded threshold limit values. Long nitrate consumption even in small amounts is one of the important chemical risk factors for the population health as it decreases organism resistance to the influence of such external environmental factors as ecological and social ones. The research was carried out in South Kazakhstan Region. To conduct the research the authors took the samples of locally produced plant products. They determined the levels of nitrates content in the main local food products, assessed the risks of harmful impact of the controlled nitrates which come with plant products grown in South Kazakhstan Region. The results show that it is necessary to carry out constant control to ensure foodstuff safety. The authors classified food products according to their contribution to the total exposure value. Thus, the authors found out that among locally produced vegetables potato and cabbage had the highest values (61.16% and 12.1% respectively). HQmed and HQ90 values were less than 1. The authors pointed out the main ways to reduce nitrates content in plant products in the article.

Published: January 2019

Multifaceted, multifactor and multicomponent nature of credit risk makes it possible to consider it as an integral hypothetical unit which consists of the autonomous diverse segments specifying risky situations. As the given article is focused on the mechanism of loan fund circulation within foreign currency loan the author considers the combination of credit, interest rate, foreign exchange and inflation risks within the aggregate (total, combined) credit risk. Foreign exchange and inflation risks generate special interest in relation to evaluation procedures as there can be statutory regulation of interest rate risk and well-functioning mechanism of debt capacity analysis as the main factor of credit risk. As commercial loans and bank credits taken by Russian companies are wide spread the authors of the article suggest an innovative procedure of aggregate credit risk assessment considering agricultural companies, as well as companies belonging to chemical and machine-building industries as “pure borrowers” (debtors). The research has a set sequence of procedures. During the first stage the authors structured a risky situation in the lending process, determined specific constituents and performed their further strategic agreement. The second stage implies the analysis of the possibilities and specific characteristics of the preliminary segment assessment of the risk level. The third stage involves the development of experimental synthetic approach to the segment assessment of the aggregate credit risk in case of foreign exchange rate and interest rate volatility when there are inflation expectations. The procedure considers the following scenarios: 1) isolated assessment of inflation risk; 2) isolated assessment of exchange rate risk; 3) complex assessment of inflation and exchange rate risks.
Fruit of raspberry Rubus Idaeus L. as a source of functional ingredients (review)
Authors: Жбанова Екатерина , Zhbanova Ekaterina
Published: January 2019

The article gives a comparative analysis of the data obtained by Russian and foreign scientists considering the content of vitamins and other valuable substances in raspberry fruit. That determines high antioxidant properties of raspberry. The goal of the study was to generalize information which shows specific nature of that plant in relation to the complex of vitamins and polyphenol compounds which it contains. The author shows that fruit of raspberry R. idaeus L. consists of 5–40 mg/100 g of vitamin C, folic acid - 26-44 mg/100 g. Consumption of only 100 g of raspberries satisfies daily requirement of vitamin C (60 mg) by 8.3 - 66.7%, in folates (200 mg) by 13–22%. Total anthocyanin content in red raspberry varies within wide range (20–100 mg/100 g), in black raspberry – form 200 to 600 mg/100 g. Raspberry accumulates from 38 to 270 mg/100 g of ellagic acid. In small amounts the cultivated red raspberry consists of the following substances: carotenoids (β-carotene – 9.3 mg/100 g, zeaxanthin – 11 mg/100 g, lutein – 320 mg /100 g), vitamin E – 0.15–0.44 mg/100 g tocopherol equivalents, thiamine – 0,020 mg/100 g, riboflavin – 0.034 mg/100 g, niacin – 0.036 mg/100 g, pyridoxin – 0.05 mg/100 g, biotin – 5.7 mg/100 g. Total content of antioxidants in the cultivated raspberry fruit is 1.71 mg/g (standard quercetin). As a result of the analysis of different literary sources the author determined that raspberry antioxidant properties are mainly connected with high polyphenol content. Contribution of vitamin C into total antioxidant activity is relatively low. Though raspberry fruit chemical composition has already been studied quite well it is necessary to perform further more detailed research of different raspberry cultivars considering their total antioxidant activity as well as certain biochemical components which comprise antioxidant complex of raspberry fruit. The obtained results will form the base for further research aimed at investigating phytochemical compounds of fruit crops which have become an essential part of healthy human diet and developing nutraceutical products.

Published: January 2019

Fermentation is the main technological stage of wine production. The objective of the article is to determine the dependence of qualitative parameters of wine material obtained from blackcurrant on the taken yeast race. The authors studied the influence of yeast on the blackcurrant mash fermentation dynamics, formation of secondary products, content of biologically active substances and antioxidant activity of the obtained wine material. The authors used Saccharomyces of two types: Saccharomyces vini – Chernosmorodinovaya 7, K-17, Moskva 30, Vishnevaya 33, K-72, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae – “Red Fruit”, WET 136, LW 317-29, UWY SP1. Mass fraction of total phenolic compounds content expressed in terms of gallic acid was determined applying spectrophotometric method using Folin-Chokalteuʼs reactant. Mass fraction of ascorbic acid was calculated using high-performance liquid chromatography. The authors measured antioxidant activity applying improved ABTS method on Shimadzu UV-1600 spectrophotometer (Japan). They found out that yeast races Saccharomyces cerevisiae had higher fermentation activity than Russian pure yeast races Saccharomyces vini. Saccharomyces cerevisiae surpassed Saccharomyces vini in sugar utilization and ethanol yield. The article reveals that fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae having high fermentation capacity results in the increase of methanol content by 33–57% and decrease in ascorbic acid concentration by 69–83% compared to the wine base samples obtained using Saccharomyces vini. The authors established that phenolic compound concentration in the wine material depends on the period of contact with yeast and on the applied yeast race. They determined that antioxidant activity of the product mainly depends on ascorbic acid concentration and made a conclusion that yeast race determines product biological value and antioxidant activity substantially. The authors recommend to use Chernosmorodinovaya 7 in high quality blackcurrant wine production.

Authors: Ульрих Елена , Ulrikh Elena
Published: January 2019

The development of scientific bases for isolation of whey components in food enterprises by means of flocculants is an urgent task that makes it possible to solve environmental issues and utilize valuable products (proteins, fat, lactose) that whey contains. The goal of the given work was to study the modified flocculant properties such as swelling and light absorption which have an effect on the completeness of components isolation from milk whey. The research objects of the scientific work were the following: flocculants based on polyacrylamide: Magnafloc 156, Magnaflok 24 and Magnaflok 919; modifiers: propylene glycol, ethylenechlorhydrin, propylene chlorohydrin, amino acids serine and glycine, and whey. The study took place in Kemerovo region. The obtained data reveal that though the swelling degree has approximately the same values, the swelling time of the original and modified flocculants decreases starting with Magnafloc 24 and up to Magnafloc 919. Magnafloc 156, a medium anionic polyelectrolyte with an average degree of macromolecule expansion, is the most optimal among them concerning the swelling rate. The author proved that as a result of modification the flocculants molecular weight increases 1.4–2.4 times. It is established that the average distance between the ends of macromolecules increases 1.3–1.8 times; there is a slight decrease in flexibility; hydrodynamic volume increases 1.33–9.9 times. The author experimentally established that the absorption peaks for the modified flocculants in the ultraviolet region shift to a longer wavelength region compared to the original polyelectrolytes. That indicates that due to the modification process large particle aggregates have been formed. Based on the experiment, the following technological parameters were obtained for milk whey components isolation: flocculant concentration – 0.05%; amount of flocculant – 6 g/m3; temperature – 25–30°C; flocculation time – 10–20 min; feeding method – continuous; settling time – 60 min; angular speed of stirring – 30–40 rpm. The author offered a technological scheme for whey components isolation. It is proved that modified flocculants isolate valuable components from whey much better than unmodified ones.

Published: January 2019

Resent scientific works demonstrate that population physical health depends on food quality. One of the important modern problems is lack of biologically active substances such as vitamins, antioxidants, and mineral substances in food. Many of them cannot be synthesized by the human body and must come with food. Tomato paste can be the source of the antioxidants necessary for the human body. The purpose of this work was to determine the content of carotenoids in tomato paste samples. Tomato paste contains a significant amount of carotenoids, mainly β-carotene and lycopene. As a result of experimental studies, the author determined the content of carotenoids, β-carotene and lycopene in tomato paste samples produced in Russia and abroad. It was found out that there is a direct proportion between the content of carotenoids and β-carotene: the higher the content of carotenoids, the higher the content of β-carotene. Proportion of β-carotene in all studied samples is a little more than 12% of the total amount of carotenoids. Consumption of concentrated tomato products by different age and social population groups in Russia will help improve food ration by means of providing β-carotene and lycopene according to the physiological requirements in nutrients

Published: January 2019

Common characteristic of salad products is presence of cut raw vegetables in its composition. Cold cutting helps surface microorganisms penetrate into deep layers of the product. Hygienic cleanliness of raw ingredients is the major factor which contributes to storage stability of salad products. One of the most effective methods that helps enhance salad storage stability is initial treatment of vegetable raw materials with antimicrobial solutions. The author presents information on using solutions of hydrogen peroxide and peroxyacetic acid, sodium hypochlorite and compositions containing peroxide compounds and acetic, benzoic, sorbic, ascorbic, citric, lactic and other acids as well as their salts and containing guanidylic compounds. The article reveals that antimicrobial action of lactate-containing processing aids improves sufficiently if polymer cation-active compounds are introduced into their composition. The goal of the research is to study application effectiveness of new processing aids for treatment of raw peeled cut vegetables to reduce bacterial content and enhance storage stability before thermal treatment (boiling). The author tested the aids based on lactate-containing components. Physicochemical and physical parameters of the aids and their aqueous solutions are the following: active acidity (pH), titratab6le acidity, water and volatiles mass fraction, dynamic viscosity, surface tension. The article presents the data which characterize change in surface tension of aqueous solutions of the aids at the water-air interface depending on their concentration. It also gives quality indicators and microbial parameters of raw peeled cut vegetables after their processing with solutions of the aids. It was found out that treatment of raw peeled cut vegetables with processing aids based on lactate containing components prolongs their shelf life from 3 hours according to the applicable technology up to 48 hours.

THE PROBLEM OF GEOSPATIAL DESCRIPTION: MODERN TECHNOLOGY
Authors: Зобова Людмила , Zobova Lyudmila
Published: January 2019

Describing contemporary geospatial requires an appropriate amount of information. That is “smart” information, which in turn requires “smart” infrastructure, created using modern digital technologies. The circular dependency occurs: alone digital technology and communication means themselves influence the geoospatial, making the world smaller and creating fierce competition among industry players. New geospatial technologies give the opportunity of a three-dimensional map trackicg of accommodation and calculating the possible actions of potential competitors. One of the elements of the new technology is the so-called “hexagonal geospatial technology” that helps to understand the meaning of the dynamically changing world. These technologies have successfully been used for creating “smart” cities and functioning of urban agglomerations. The purpose of the paper is to show the possibilities of geospatial technologies and problems associated with their use. The author used the materials of the jhournals “Geospatial World” and “Hexagon geospatial”.

The paper focuses on the impact of recession on the population life quality and aims at its quantitative assessment in the regional (e. g., the regions of the Siberian Federal District) and temporal aspects (analytical database includes 2003 - 2013). The authors also consider the possibility of delay (lag) of the individual indicators and areas of life quality in response to the recession. The research methodology is based on a graphical analysis of dynamic trends of the statistics (27 quality of life indicators and 8 economic indicators). The results showed that the sagging economic and social indicators are not always synchronous and proportional to each other, on this basis it is possible to differentiate between the regions of the Siberian Federal District. Furthermore, the reaction of individual indicators of the quality of life and spheres occurs with time delays of different durations. It is necessary to take into account the regional authorities in the policy aimed at maintaining the quality of life in times of recession Keywords: quality of life, the crisis, the impact of regional policy, time lags.
GREEN MARKETING: tendencies and perspectives
Authors: Зайцева Дарья , Zaitseva Daria , Краковецкая Инна , Krakovetskaia Inna
Published: January 2019

This article is devoted to the study of new marketing strategies used in green marketing. Green marketing includes both green products and green oriented companies. Companies that seek to enter the new "green" niche need to rethink the 4 P’s (product, price, place and promotion) of traditional marketing and use these new strategies to promote environmentally friendly products. Research into this field has yielded four main strategies of ecological marketing: "Lean green", "Defensive green", "Shaded green" and "Extreme green". Each environmental marketing strategy presented in this article is directly connected with the concept of the marketing mix it is related to. Many companies do not want to use all parts of the 4 P strategies but instead choose to use only specific elements of each. This allows companies to choose a tailored "green" marketing strategy to achieve their goals. Green marketing strategies help companies to develop products that are environmentally friendly and satisfy the requirements of consumers.

This article features results of research of specific properties and new possibilities of using marketing areas. For this purposes we analysed the main differences between traditional marketing and area marketing. We point out their most significant differences in the composition and content, evaluate competitive positions, purposes, methods, organizational support, place and role in the control system. The analysis disclosed the two-sided nature of the concept of "territory" in the marketplace as a special "commodity" with multiuseful value and as "major company" that produces a certain set of goods and services. On this basis, we formed some approaches to the identification and grouping of the competitive position of the territories. There are three groups: territorial competitive position, the industry's competitive position, territorial and industry competitive position. The article identifies the main purpose of marketing areas, aimed at creating an enabling environment for the implementation of investment proposals, providing the best growth prospects. It shows the place and the role of marketing territories as a key element in the development of control systems in market conditions. There are five stages of formation and development of marketing territories. Accordingly, there are five areas of development management models in market conditions. On this basis, we prove the possibility and the necessity of forming a multi-level development of the control systems in areas across the country as a whole. Each level of control in such system takes a proactive approach and learns new methods of presenting the territory for investors. It generates investment proposals and investment fields, negotiates and coordinates with other levels of management of their investment interests and goals to enable the development through "vectors as corridors" investment development. It implements a set of investment marketing mix. New processes to market-oriented multi-level governance model are described, such as: - management of competitive positions of the territory; - process of interaction with investors; - process of harmonization and lobbying interests of the territory; - process of self-development marketing territories.
An Experimental Setup to Evaluate Sensory Substitution Methods for Upper Limb Robotic Prostheses
Authors: HOJATMADANİ Mehdi , SAMUR Evren
Published: January 2019

Sensory substitution is an easy, cost effective and mostly-preferred method to provide artificial sensory feedback to users of robotic prostheses. This sensory feedback, such as artificial proprioception, is provided through different sensory modalities, such as vibration, at different locations on the body. In this study, we propose a new methodology and an experimental setup, which are to be used to determine contribution of artificial proprioception feedback on coordinated manipulations. The setup consists of a novel haptic interface, an input device, a force sensor, and a virtual environment. Experiments were performed to technically evaluate the developed haptic interface. To further validate the interface, we conducted a psychophysical test in which subjects compared real and virtual springs with different stiffness constants. Results showed that the setup was able to successfully render the intended springs. The experimental methodology is based on the Strength-Dexterity test, which works on the principle of buckling of compression springs. Since this unstable task highly depends on coordination of force and position, its virtual implementation provides a novel platform to test sensory substitution techniques.
Comparative study of conceptual versus distributed hydrologic modelling to evaluate the impact of climate change on future runoff in unregulated catchments

Published: January 2019

The application of two distinctively different hydrologic models, (conceptual-HBV) and (distributed-BTOPMC), was compared to simulate the future runoff across three unregulated catchments of the Australian Hydrologic Reference Stations (HRSs), namely Harvey catchment in WA, and Beardy and Goulburn catchments in NSW. These catchments have experienced significant runoff reduction during the last decades due to climate change and human activities. The Budyko-elasticity method was employed to assign the influences of human activities and climate change on runoff variations. After estimating the contribution of climate change in runoff reduction from the past runoff regime, the downscaled future climate signals from a multi-model ensemble of eight global climate models (GCMs) of the Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project phase-5 (CMIP5) under the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 and RCP 8.5 scenarios were used to simulate the future daily runoff at the three HRSs for the mid-(2046–2065) and late-(2080–2099) 21st-century. Results show that the conceptual model performs better than the distributed model in capturing the observed streamflow across the three contributing catchments. The performance of the models was relatively compatible in the overall direction of future streamflow change, regardless of the magnitude, and incompatible regarding the change in the direction of high and low flows for both future climate scenarios. Both models predicted a decline in wet and dry season's streamflow across the three catchments.

The ideal configuration of wastewater treatment system (WTS) for attending cities specificities has become a complex decision, due to the fact that there are several available technologies, and a diversity of characteristics presented in the scenario of each city. Considering the importance of economic analysis, especially in developing countries, this work aims to demonstrate the economic feasibility considering cost-related indicators for the ideal WTS selection for specific features in these cities. Based on a literature review, 37 main WTS and two economic cost-related indicators (Net Present Value and Annualized Net Present Value) were considered. First of all, using a multi-criteria analysis these WTS were grouped in classes using the ELECTRE TRI method, based on criteria related to efficiency, and the weights were defined by appointments from research specialists in the literature appointments. The economic analysis was performed using the Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) method, which has been applied specifically to each WTS class, thus generating a framework of economic viability for this context. The WTS with low and high costs were appointed, considering the development level in each applied scenario. This work contributes to expanding the WTS study horizons to select an ideal system, considering the economic aspect.
