On the j-algebra
Authors: Jabir Naba Hasoon , Hameed Areej Tawfeeq
Published: October 2023

We introduced a novel algebraic structure in this study with two operations, also known as y-algebras, defined its ideals and investigated a few of its properties. In particular, we showed that if is(c; +, -, 0) is a y-algebra, then (c; +) is a semigroup using identity 0. Additionally, we discussed how ideals and congruences relate to one another. We also discussed the subgroup,homomorphism and investigated some theories.

O trabalho escolar com leitura
Authors: Franz Cintia
Published: October 2023

O presente estudo teve como objetivo compreender como o desenvolvimento de um percurso de ensino convergente com a perspectiva histórico-cultural pode contribuir para formação humana integral dos sujeitos. Movidos por esse objetivo, o estudo teórico-epistemológica e tem suas implicações teórico-metodológicas ancoram-se pelo materialismo histórico e dialético (Vigotski, 2007 [1984]; 2099 [1934]; Leontiev, 1978; Haddad, 1999; Heller, 2008 [1970]; Duarte; Martins, 2013; Saviani; Duarte, 2010). A metodologia de pesquisa volta-se a uma pesquisa-ação (Thiollent, 2009 [1985]), e a metodologia da ação, compreende a metodologia defendida por Saviani (2012 [1983]). As reflexões se aprofundaram na temática da leitura e da formação humana potencialmente facultadas pela intervenção pedagógica de então (Britto, 2003; 2012; 2015; Duarte; Martins, 2013; Saviani; Duarte, 2010).  As compreensões depreensíveis desse processo são relevantes para o campo de estudos em Educação Linguística, na medida em que subsidiam a reflexão e potenciais avanços no processo de formação humana escolar devido ao planejamento docente, o qual converteu-se num conjunto de ações que possibilitou aos sujeitos a apropriação de conceitos científicos e instrumentos, que permitem aos alunos transcendência das formas pragmáticas de leituras em favor da apropriação de objetos da cultura mais densos.
Homens e políticas públicas: entre o público e o privado

Published: October 2023

O tema das políticas públicas para homens, no Brasil, começa a receber atenção entre as décadas de 60 e 70 do século XX, diante da necessidade de lidar com o fato de que, ao mesmo tempo em que homens detinham maior poder que as mulheres, eles possuíam desvantagens em relação a elas no que se refere às taxas de morbimortalidade. Nesse contexto, este artigo apresenta uma revisão baseada no método de Scoping Review, sobre políticas públicas direcionadas aos homens no período de 2010-2020. Para tal, partiu-se da seguinte questão: como a produção científica acadêmica relaciona “homens” com as políticas públicas a eles destinadas? Utilizou-se a Análise Textual Discursiva para o processo de compreensão do material coletado. Esse é um processo auto-organizado em que novos entendimentos emergem de uma sequência de três componentes: desconstrução dos textos do corpus - unitarização; estabelecimento de relações entre os elementos unitários – categorização; apreensão do emergente em que a nova compreensão é comunicada e validada. Nesse processo, emergiram dos resultados duas categorias: O Público e o Privado nas Políticas Públicas e Homens e Políticas Públicas: Visibilidades e Invisibilizações. Os achados deste estudo expõem a complexidade da questão. Os discursos, que se inserem no plano simbólico, instituídos por meio de diferentes rituais que naturalizam a estrutura de poder e dominação, ditam e delimitam espaços de circulação e atuação para mulheres e, também, para homens. Esses homens, presos aos papeis de gênero, pouco questionam sobre as construções sociais em torno de sua masculinidade, exercendo-a com plena visibilidade.

In the conducted studies, as a result of the hybridisation of Triticum spelta L. × Triticum compactum Host. several new forms were obtained that differ in morphobiological and economically valuable traits. The research aims to expand the genetic diversity of spelt wheat and to obtain new introgressive forms with a high level of manifestation of economically valuable traits. The following methods were used: field, laboratory, hydrological analysis, and statistical analysis. As a result of the research, new source material was obtained and valuable genotypes with a unique combination of genetic material of the source species were identified. An intermediate type of inheritance of plant morphology traits (plant height, ear length and density, grain weight per ear) in F1 hybrids was established. In F2 hybrids, a split of 3:1, indicates the dominant monogenic nature of inheritance. The shape of the ear is inherited monogenically by the type of incomplete dominance. The analysis of transgressive variability in F3-4 hybrids Triticum spelta L. × Triticum compactum Host. shows that the highest proportion of positive transgressions was recorded for the number of spikelets (28.1-28.5%) and grains (23.4-51.0%) in the ear and grain weight per spikelet (20.3-32.1%). The analysis of stability and adaptability indices allowed us to distinguish line 201, characterised by high stability (S2 di=0.027), homeostasis (Hom=193.3) and breeding value (Sc=3.9), and line 206, combining high yield (5.11 t/ha) with high homeostasis (Hom=182.3) and breeding value (Sc=3.9). The introgressive hybridisation with Triticum compactum Host. identified new genetic sources characterised by the presence of deficient traits for breeding and of great practical importance for further breeding and genetic improvement of spelt, as they can enrich the existing gene pool of the crop

Published: October 2023

There has been a growing interest in growing sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. (Moenh) as a bioenergy crop, as it can be used to produce biofuels (ethyl alcohol) and solid fuels (pellets and briquettes from the above-ground mass). Sorghum grain is characterised by a high starch content of up to 80%. The research topic is relevant but poorly understood. The research aims to study the effect of growth regulators on the growth and development of sorghum in the conditions of the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. The following research methods were used: field, measuring and weighing, mathematical and statistical. The study presents the results of research for 2016-2019, where the influence of elements of cultivation technology on the peculiarities of the formation of biometric parameters was studied. plant growth regulator had an impact on field germination, vegetation period, biometric indicators of plant growth, and leaf area. The closeness of the correlations of the studied indicators was established, and a correlation-regression analysis of the data was carried out, which showed a strong correlation between the growing season and plant height, where the coefficient was R=0.9264, and the coefficient of determination R2 =0.9864. There was also a strong relationship between stem diameter and plant height, where the correlation coefficient was R=0.9767 and the coefficient of determination was R2 =0.954. The conducted studies confirm the feasibility of using a growth regulator that improves plant development and will contribute to increasing the yield and quality of grain and biomass of sorghum. The obtained results of the research give grounds to believe that growth regulators contribute to the production of environmentally friendly products and are components of environmentally friendly and energysaving cultivation technology

Fusion Biopsy, not Cognitive, Is the New Gold Standard
Authors: Marquis Alessandro , Marra Giancarlo , Gontero Paolo
Published: October 2023

To date, although some benefits resulting from a software-guided technique are
undeniable, no clear superiority of fusion over cognitive targeted biopsy (COG-TB) has
been supported by strong evidence. We discuss potential causes of trials failing to show
the superiority of fusion TB (FUS-TB) and highlight its advantages over the cognitive
approach.One possible reason why current literature showed contradictory evidence in
supporting FUS-TB may be the lack of high-quality well-designed trials. Indeed, most of
the studies addressing this issue have considerable limitations, such as underpowering,
small sample size, lack of randomization, and poor generalizability. A second reason may
be the inclusion in the majority of trials of a wide spectrum of MRI-lesions, a scenario
in which the benefits of FUS-TB may be less evident. In fact, some of the few studies
considering smaller targets demonstrated higher accuracy for the FUS technique. As
concerns the advantages of FUS-TB, the opportunity offered by some fusion systems of
storing information useful for planning and/or follow-up active surveillance, focal
therapy, and radical prostatectomy, as well as a reported faster learning curve, are
strong points supporting the fusion approach.In conclusion, the potential advantages
when targeting smaller lesions together with the storage capability to guide patient
management after the biopsy and an easier learning curve may make the FUS approach the
more appropriate technique for performing TB.

Published: October 2023

The study was carried out in Yamuna Nagar, Kurukshetra, and Karnal districts of Haryana during 2021-22. A total of 210 tomato growers were interviewed to collect data to study the thorough cost and return analysis of tomato cultivation. Tomato cultivation was a profitable venture for farmers with a BC ratio of 1: 1.86. The per hectare cost of cultivation was worked out to be Rs. 305701.14 of which major contributors were rental value of land (24.96%), picking/harvesting charges (15.44%), transportation (11.61%) and nursery raising/seed (5.74%). The gross return, return over variable cost and net return per hectare were Rs. 569528.28, 412210.72, and 263827.14 on an overall basis. The production cost per quintal of tomato was computed to be Rs. 707.23 per quintal. It was suggested that farmers should take tomato cultivation with a business and market-oriented approach to compete with the challenges of the glut situation and opt cooperative approach in the production and selling of crops to avail maximum profit by reducing the cost of inputs and transportation and ultimately improving bargaining and negotiating power for better price availing.

Litchi is one of the nutritionally rich and economically significant fruit of Indian subcontinent. With the advent of Good Management Practices (GMPs), litchi farming technology has advanced drastically. The study was conducted in 2022 in the Muzaffarpur district of Bihar to assess the level of knowledge and adoption of GMPs among litchi farmers and their relationship with the socio-economic profile of litchi growers. The primary data were personally collected through a well-structured interview schedule from 120 respondents. Knowledge and adoption were determined, practicewise on 19 different parameters of GMPs. The highest number of litchi growers (77.50%) had a medium level of knowledge while 71.67 per cent had a medium adoption level of the recommended GMPs in litchi production. Variables viz., the area under litchi, cosmopolitness, farming experience, risk preference, innovativeness, and attitude towards GMPs were positively and significantly related to knowledge as well as adoption. Primary work and education were positively and significantly related to adoption. Dissemination of information about modern agricultural practices is necessary for the adoption of GMPs in litchi production.

Authors: Khalkho Rekha , Ghosh Souvik
Published: October 2023

Gender dynamics significantly impact tea garden workers’ performance. A Gender Disparity Index (GDI) was developed for assessing gender differences within the tea plantation sector during 2022-23. The construction of GDI commenced with item analysis, employing the Likert’s Technique. A total of seven dimensions were included following the Harvard analytical and Moser frameworks of gender analysis. Based on the relevancy, t statistics, and content validity, five dimensions were kept in the index, namely, activity profile, influencing factors for differential roles, gender role identification, gender need assessment, and decision-making behaviour of tea garden workers. A universe of 92 items under five dimensions was prepared, and the relevancy of each item was judged by 56 experts; subsequently, 72 items were screened on which the responses of 60 workers of non sampled tea gardens were obtained and finally 68 items were selected under five dimensions of the index followed by testing of their content validity and reliability of the index. This GDI may be used as an effective instrument to unravel gender disparities in tea gardens and other similar plantations’ estate.

Published: October 2023

Talent management is important for organizations, first of all, to gain a competitive advantage. The

high demand for talent imposes special requirements on employers at the global and state levels. The identification of factors contributing to the retention of talents within the management process, and testing of the formed model, was designated as the main purpose of the article. The study identified independent variables, such as job satisfaction and engagement to work, and examined how they contribute to the dependent variable, i.e. talent retention. Smart PLS4 and IBM SPSS programs for statistical data processing were used to assess the quality of the model and conduct multi-regression analysis. During the analysis, the task was set to take into account the aspect of differences and gender diversity between age generations, which can influence variables. To perform this task, a significance test was conducted, that is, Anova and Manova analysis of variance. As a result of an online survey of 126 respondents, primary data were obtained. Based on the confirmation and non-confirmation of hypotheses, a number of conclusions have been made. Factors such as engagement and job satisfaction showed a high level of influence on the retention of the necessary personnel in the workplace (70.7%). In order to minimize the shortage and turnover of labor in the labor market, it is necessary to pay attention to an inclusive approach, as it helps to prevent the outflow of talent.

Benchmarking fosters an "outside" view of the internal issues of the higher education institution. It is a continuous improvement process, so both the method and the toolkit chosen are important. Currently, various approaches and types of benchmarking are used, each of which has its own theoretical foundations and tools, including digital ones. An important factor in the process of higher education reforms is the modernization of the tools used for the development, implementation and comparison of competitive professional education programs with the best ones of the same content. Therefore, benchmarking of the the professional education programs is important as a tool for identifying the need for changes. The purpose of the research is to carry out benchmarking of the two professional education programs chosen in the framework of the research by studying the theoretical bases of benchmarking, types and features of its implementation and using a digital tool. The recommendations made on the basis of results of the research will foster the alignment of other professional education programs of Brusov State University (BSU) with the demands of the learners and the labor market, which will increase the competitiveness of the university and engagement of students.
O PROCESSO DE INCLUSÃO ESCOLAR E SOCIAL

Published: October 2023

Este trabalho teve como objetivos: Falar da inclusão, desde seu estado inicial marcado por omissão e negligência no atendimento a pessoa com deficiência, tanto no âmbito escolar como social, chegando aos tempos atuais num período de intensas discussões e críticas em torno da inclusão referindo-se a forma de inserção radical e sistemática, total e incondicional, de toda e qualquer criança no sistema escolar comum. Apesar do conceito de inclusão conciliar-se com uma educação para todos e com o ensino especializado no aluno, a opção por esse tipo de inserção escolar não poderia ser realizada sem o enfrentamento de desafios importantes, uma vez que o maior deles recai sobre o fator humano. Portanto, a inclusão depende de mudança de valores da sociedade e a vivência de um novo paradigma que não se faz com simples recomendações técnicas, como se fossem receitas prontas, mas com reflexões dos professores, diretores, pais, alunos, comunidade/sociedade.

Published: October 2023

O glaucoma é a segunda causa de cegueira no mundo, ficando atrás apenas da catarata. A diferença entre as duas está no fato de que a catarata pode ser reversível cirurgicamente, enquanto o glaucoma é irreversível, afetando de maneira drástica a qualidade de vida do paciente. Esta condição é melhor definida na oftalmologia como um grupo de doenças neurodegenerativas de origem multifatorial, que possuem em comum a lesão progressiva do nervo óptico e do campo visual correspondente. É notório, portanto, ressaltar que a pressão intraocular alta não é sinônimo de glaucoma, mas sim um fator de risco modificável presente em muitos casos, e por isso alvo para o controle da doença. Tendo em vista a origem multifatorial e a alta prevalência do glaucoma, é de suma importância o seu estudo a fim de destrinchar seus diversos aspectos. Portanto, esta revisão narrativa de literatura reuniu artigos das principais bases de dados objetivando descrever e apontar os principais sinais e sintomas associados aos tipos de glaucoma.

Published: October 2023

A doença de Graves é uma doença autoimune que afeta a glândula tireóide, levando à produção excessiva de hormônios tireoidianos (hipertireoidismo). Essa condição pode causar diversas manifestações clínicas, sendo a mais comum a oftalmopatia de Graves, caracterizada pelo aumento do volume dos músculos e da gordura da órbita ocular, resultando em proptose (olhos saltados), edema e hiperemia palpebral, restrição da motilidade ocular, alterações visuais e, em casos graves, neuropatia óptica e cegueira. Objetivo: avaliar a literatura científica sobre a doença de Graves, com ênfase na avaliação endocrinológica e nas manifestações oftalmológicas. Metodologia: Foi realizada uma busca nas bases de dados PubMed, Scielo, Web of Science, utilizando os seguintes descritores: “Graves disease”, “thyroid eye disease”, “orbitopathy”, “endocrinology”, “ophthalmology”. Foram incluídos artigos publicados nos últimos 10 anos (2013-2023), em português ou inglês, que abordassem aspectos epidemiológicos, fisiopatológicos, diagnósticos ou terapêuticos da doença de Graves e da oftalmopatia de Graves. Foram excluídos artigos que não se relacionassem com o tema proposto, que fossem duplicados, que tivessem baixa qualidade metodológica ou que não estivessem disponíveis na íntegra. A seleção dos artigos foi feita seguindo o checklist PRISMA. Resultados: foram selecionados 17 artigos para compor esta revisão. Os principais tópicos abordados foram: a epidemiologia da doença de Graves e da oftalmopatia de Graves; os mecanismos imunológicos envolvidos na patogênese da doença; os fatores de risco e os fatores prognósticos para o desenvolvimento e a progressão da oftalmopatia; os métodos diagnósticos clínicos e complementares; as opções terapêuticas disponíveis para o controle do hipertireoidismo e para o manejo da oftalmopatia; as complicações e os desfechos clínicos da doença. Conclusão: A doença de Graves é uma doença autoimune complexa que afeta a glândula tireoide e outros órgãos, especialmente os olhos. A oftalmopatia de Graves é uma manifestação frequente e potencialmente grave da doença de Graves, que requer uma abordagem multidisciplinar entre endocrinologistas e oftalmologistas. O diagnóstico precoce e o tratamento adequado são fundamentais para prevenir ou minimizar as sequelas visuais e estéticas da doença.

Para analizar la disposición a pagar por proyectos de innovación en la ganadería del suroeste de Holguín, se definieron tres atributos de carácter técnico-ambiental y uno relativo al sistema de innovación, cada uno con tres niveles en orden creciente de mejora, así como un atributo cuantitativo de cuatro niveles progresivos para los costos de las alternativas, que conformaron dos alternativas genéricas. Se realizó experimento de elección discreta de diseño factorial incompleto con arreglo ortogonal para estimar los efectos principales, de 48 combinaciones, con 52 unidades muestrales. Los efectos se evaluaron mediante modelo logístico. Se determinó la Relación Marginal de Sustitución, el Precio Implícito y el Excedente Compensatorio. De las observaciones válidas, 97,6% promueve la innovación ganadera local. El ajuste del modelo resultó altamente significativo y dentro de este el gasto por hectárea. El análisis global de los escenarios resultó estadísticamente significativo para ambos modos de actuación y el excedente compensatorio muestran mayores ventajas para el conjunto de prácticas medianamente innovadoras, que no involucran todas las mejoras que podrían contribuir con la reducción de la degradación y que se orienta a los sistemas de doble propósito. Existe disposición a pagar por los sistemas de producción de doble propósito, con empleo de árboles, manejo estacional de finca y mediante proyecto de innovación. Los sistemas de doble propósito, tanto como los de cría y ceba, son económicamente viables. Se requiere institucionalizar el sistema de innovación, si se desea sostenibilidad para llevar adelante proyectos de investigación-acción en el suroeste de Holguín.

2 (MERRA2) global reanalysis data. SSW21 is preceded by the highly distorted
polar vortex that was initially displaced from the pole but eventually split
at the onset date. Vortex splitting is most significant in the upper
stratosphere (1 hPa altitude) accompanied by the anomalous growth of
westward-propagating planetary waves (PWs) of zonal wavenumber (ZWN) 2
(WPW2). While previous studies have suggested the East Asian trough as a
potential source for the abnormal WPW2 growth, the prominent
westward-propagating nature cannot be explained satisfactorily by the upward
propagation of the quasi-stationary ZWN2 fluxes in the troposphere. More
importantly, WPW2 exhibits an obvious in situ excitation signature within
the barotropically and baroclinically destabilized stratosphere, dominated
by the easterlies descending from the stratopause containing the WPW2
critical levels. This suggests that the vortex split is attributed to the
WPW2 generated in situ within the stratosphere via instability. Vortex
destabilization is achieved as the double-jet structure consisting of a
subtropical mesospheric core and a polar stratospheric core develops into
SSW21 by encouraging the anomalous dissipation of the upward-propagating
tropospheric ZWN1 PWs. This double-jet configuration is likely a favorable
precursor for SSW onset, not only for the SSW21 but generally for most SSWs,
through promoting the anomalous growth of unstable PWs as well as the
enhancement of the tropospheric PW dissipation.

Abstract. Ice-nucleating particle concentrations (INPCs) can spread over several orders of magnitude at any given temperature. However, this variability is rarely accounted for in heterogeneous ice-nucleation parameterizations. In this paper, we present an approach to incorporate the random variation in the INPC into the parameterization of immersion freezing and analyze this novel concept with various sensitivity tests. In the new scheme, the INPC is drawn from a relative frequency distribution of cumulative INPCs. At each temperature, this distribution describing the INPCs is expressed as a lognormal frequency distribution. The new parameterization scheme does not require aerosol information from the driving model to represent the heterogeneity of INPCs. The scheme's performance is tested in a large-eddy simulation of a relatively warm Arctic mixed-phase stratocumulus. We find that it leads to reasonable ice masses in the cloud, especially when compared to immersion freezing schemes that yield one fixed INPC per temperature and lead to almost no ice production in the simulated cloud. The scheme is sensitive to the median of the frequency distribution and highly sensitive to the standard deviation of the distribution, as well as to the frequency of drawing a new INPC and the resolution of the model. Generally, a higher probability of drawing large INPCs leads to substantially more ice in the simulated cloud. We expose inherent challenges to introducing such a parameterization and explore possible solutions and potential developments.

Abstract. Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy has been widely applied to
fieldwork measurements of OH radicals and HO2, following conversion
to OH, over a wide variety of conditions, on different platforms and in
simulation chambers. Conventional calibration of HOx (OH + HO2)
instruments has mainly relied on a single method, generating known
concentrations of HOx from H2O vapour photolysis in a flow of zero
air impinging just outside the sample inlet (SHOx=CHOx. [HOx],
where SHOx is the observed signal and CHOx is the calibration
factor). The fluorescence assay by gaseous expansion (FAGE) apparatus
designed for HOx measurements in the Highly Instrumented Reactor for
Atmospheric Chemistry (HIRAC) at the University of Leeds has been used to
examine the sensitivity of FAGE to external gas temperatures (266–348 K). The conventional calibration methods give the temperature dependence of
COH (relative to the value at 293 K) of (0.0059±0.0015) K−1
and CHO2 of (0.014±0.013) K−1. Errors are 2σ.
COH was also determined by observing the decay of hydrocarbons
(typically cyclohexane) caused by OH reactions giving COH (again,
relative to the value at 293 K) of (0.0038±0.0007) K−1.
Additionally, CHO2 was determined based on the second-order kinetics of
HO2 recombination with the temperature dependence of CHO2, relative
to 293 K being (0.0064±0.0034) K−1. The temperature dependence of CHOx depends on the HOx number density,
quenching, the relative population of the probed OH rotational level and HOx
transmission from the inlet to the detection axis. The first three terms can be
calculated and, in combination with the measured values of CHOx, show
that HOx transmission increases with temperature. Comparisons with other
instruments and the implications of this work are discussed.

Abstract. Draix-Bléone critical zone observatory was created in
1983 to study erosion processes in a mountainous badland region of the
French Southern Alps. Six catchments of varying size (0.001 to 22 km2)
and vegetation cover are equipped to measure water and sediment fluxes, both
as bedload and suspended load. This paper presents the core dataset of the
observatory, including rainfall and meteorology, high-frequency discharge
and suspended-sediment concentration, and event-scale bedload volumes. The
longest records span almost 40 years. Measurement and data-processing
methods are presented, as well as data quality assessment procedures and
examples of results. All the data presented in this paper are available on
the open repository https://doi.org/10.17180/obs.draix (Draix-Bleone
Observatory, 2015), and a 5-year snapshot is available for review at

Abstract. The stranding of sargassum seaweed on the Caribbean Archipelago beaches constitutes a real socio-economic, ecological and health problem. Météo-France currently operates a model of sargassum drift forecasts (called MOTHY) forced by ocean currents from the global analysis and forecasting system GLO12 at 1/12° (~ 9 km over the Caribbean) operated by Mercator Ocean International (MOi). In order to improve the Météo-France drift forecast, MOi has developed a regional high-resolution ocean forecasting system CAR36 at 1/36° (~ 3 km) centred on the Caribbean Archipelago region. In addition to a finer spatial resolution, this system was designed to resolve some higher frequency signals such as the tidal forcing and to use hourly atmospheric forcing including the inverse barometer effect. Here the added value of the CAR36 system relative to GLO12 is evaluated with particular focus on the reproduction of meso- and sub-mesoscale structures representing key features of the Caribbean region dynamics and therefore sargassum transport. The realism of the local dynamics was examined with standard statistical validation diagnostics using satellite data (Sea Surface Height, Sea Surface Temperature, Sargassum detection) and drifting buoys, together with more process-oriented diagnostics such as eddy detection and tracking across the domain. GLO12 and CAR36 hindcast simulations were compared over the year 2019. CAR36 showed marginally better scores using OceanPredict diagnostics (https://oceanpredict.org/). The dynamics of a westward-propagating North Brazil Current (NBC) eddy from its entry into the domain to its dissipation was found to be more realistic in CAR36, especially at the end of its lifetime when it collides with the Caribbean Archipelago. The transfer of kinetic energy from the eddy dissipating westward into the Caribbean Sea was diagnosed as more pronounced for CAR36 corresponding to filamentary structures crossing the Caribbean Archipelago and resulting in part from the friction of the NBC eddy along the islands to the east. Using detection from satellite, aggregation of Sargassum around eddies or along filaments suggests that CAR36 should be able to improve the algae drift forecasts.
Modelling reference evapotranspiration of green walls (ET0vert)

Abstract. Green walls, façade greenery, living walls – vertical building greening as part of urban green infrastructure are measures for climate sensitive urban design, for water management and microclimate regulation. Strategic integration of green walls into local water and energy cycles requires prediction of evapotranspiration, considering the individual design, plant species, and building characteristics. Available models address horizontal surfaces but disregard vertical particularities and urban conditions, e.g., reduced direct radiation, spatial patterns of radiation on the wall due to building orientation and shading obstacles, and very heterogeneous wind fields that are influenced by rough surfaces, canyons, and adjacent wind barriers. We present a verticalization model, ET0vert, for the reference crop evapotranspiration ET0 (FAO) based on a sensitivity analysis. It comprises the adaptation of solar radiation and wind to the individual situations in front of a wall or facade. The accuracies of the model predictions are evaluated for (i) remote climate station data (horizontal reference plane), (ii) interpolated climate data (both horizontal and vertical reference plane) and (iii) on-site measured climate data (vertical reference plane, both not height-adapted and height-adapted) as input. We validate the model with data for a one-month reference period (25/07/2014 – 29/08/2014) from a weighable lysimeter with Fallopia baldschuanica greening of a 12 m high wall in Berlin, Germany. Regarding individual meteorological input parameters, we found high relevance of both vapor pressure deficit (VPD) and solar radiation (RS) for the study area. Using VPD and RS, respectively, a linear model could explain 90 % and 85 % of daily ET0 variances. No such relationship could be detected for wind speed, but for maximum and minimum wind speed. Compared to remote horizontal input data, verticalization of input data (RS and wind) reduced overestimations of ET from about 90 % to 14 % and 27 % for the daily and hourly resolution, respectively. If onsite climate data is available, deviations are reduced to 9 % and 5 % for the daily and hourly resolution. Height-adaptation of input data resulted in further improvements of the prediction accuracies (1 % and 2 % deviation for hourly and daily resolution). We conclude that simply using remote horizontal climate data for calculating ET of green walls is not advisable. Instead, any input data, onsite measured or remote climate station data, should be verticalized and preferably height-adapted. The verticalized model predicts the hourly and daily evapotranspiration of green walls necessary for e.g., irrigation planning, building energy simulations or local climate modeling.
