This study aims to consider an ensemble of hippocampal neurons coupled in a ring, which may be responsible for generation of the primary rhythm at limbic epilepsy. Methods. Model equations were solved numerically. To determine the areas of oscillatory and excitable regime existance for a single neuron, the bifurcation analysis for the leakadge conductivity parameter was performed. The coupling delays was not implemented directly, instead, inertia in the synapse was introduced. To determine the stability of generation some couplings were removed and parameter detunig was introduced. Results. In the single neuron model the bistability region was detected, in which a stable focus coexhists with a limit cycle. Two main synchronous regimes were detected. The first regime inherits frequency of individual oscillator, with a relatively small phase shift between oscillators in the ring. The frequency of the second regime depends on the number of neurons in the ring, with the phase shift between neighbor oscillators being equal to ratio of oscillation period and number of neurons. This second regime can occur both for the parameters corresponding to bistabler regime in the individual neuron and for the parameters at which the only existing attractor is stable focus. The second synchronous regime is preserved for parameter detuning of 2% from their absolute values. Conclusion. It was shown that in the mathematical model of the ring of hippocampal neurons, where all the main significant currents are taken into account for individual neurons, and their parameters can vary, there is an oscillatory mode, the frequency of which is determined by the length of the ring and synaptic conductivity, rather than by the parameters individual neuron. In this case, a small change in synaptic conductivity can lead to a sharp (2–7 times) change in the generation frequency.
Nominative self-references in Moliere’s comedies
Authors: Pavlova Svetlana
Published: May 2024

The paper focuses on nominative self-references, a subclass of the broader phenomenon of self-referentiality, in Moliere’s comedies. The majority of self-references are found in the plays with theoretical premises, “Critique of the School for Wives” (1663) and “The Versailles Impromptu” (1663). Both were Moliere’s theatrical responses to critical debates around his plays and thus contributed to building up a new understanding of the aims of comedy. Self-references in these plays are used to create the character of gifted and unjustly criticized playwright, who beats his competitors and ill-wishers by superiority of his art and relies on the creativity of humor. Moliere also names himself, his other comedies and characters, in the plays that do not deal with theatrical circles either in plot or in subject matter. In these cases, self-references create allusions to his other works, opening the opportunities to express his views on comedy, on requirements for the scenic speech, on the substance of his satirical characters. They help Moliere to activate viewers’ perception of what’s going on stage; they also reflect Moliere’s orientation on the public sitting in the boxes and in stalls. The nominative self-references function to increase the overall comical effect, to create the atmosphere of gallantry, in self-defense during theatrical polemics, in Moliere’s reflections on his input to the genre of comedy. Self-referentiality is thus concluded to be the effect of meta-theatrical element that serves to establish the new comedy, where laughter is the means of correcting the mores – while being unfailingly entertaining.

Hacia una integración de las políticas sociales en materia de empleo y de seguridad social
Authors: Paitán Martínez Javier
Published: May 2024

Las políticas sociales están dirigidas a garantizar a la ciudadanía el mayor nivel de bienestar, por medio de un Estado social y democrático, fundado en los valores de justicia material, igualdad de oportunidades y dignidad de las personas. Así pues, las políticas sociales en materia de empleo y de seguridad social, integradas y coordinadas, buscan garantizar empleos plenos y decentes, con una protección social, con pensiones dignas, suficientes y equitativas que, en muchos Estados como el peruano, brillan por su ausencia e inexistencia. Ante esta inercia de reformas pendientes, sumado el fenómeno del  envejecimiento, principalmente, los planteamientos ofrecidos en este trabajo convergen en la necesidad urgente e impostergable de proponer la implementación de estas políticas sociales, con el fin de fortalecer el empleo pleno, decente y productivo durante todo el ciclo de la vida laboral, e implementar nuevos modelos de protección social que amplíen su cobertura, así como su sostenibilidad, máxime de las personas en edad avanzada: una reforma pendiente en el Perú.

En este artículo se aborda la problemática de la informalidad y la incidencia del contexto económico en la afiliación de los trabajadores independientes a la seguridad social en Colombia. También se describe el proceso de afiliación colectiva de dicha población al Sistema de Seguridad Social Integral, como respuesta estatal a su déficit histórico de protección social, recabando en su historia y las experiencias internacionales que en América Latina se tienen al respecto. Además, se ubica el lugar de la informalidad en el Sistema de Protección Social a la luz de los planes nacionales de desarrollo de los últimos cinco gobiernos, y se inserta sucesivamente en el análisis concreto del fenómeno de la afiliación colectiva irregular y sus posibles determinantes. Finalmente, se presentan algunas conclusiones para conjurar este fenómeno, las que a su vez se constituyen en enormes retos de la política pública nacional.
Huelga política: reflexiones sobre la experiencia brasileña
Authors: Pedrassani José Pedro
Published: May 2024

Este artículo examina la naturaleza y el tratamiento legal del derecho a la huelga e introduce el concepto de “huelga política”, dentro de las relaciones laborales en Brasil. Para tal fin, se analiza cómo la Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT) define y delimita la huelga. Se destaca la ausencia de una convención o recomendación específica sobre este tema, pero se analizan numerales de la “Recopilación de decisiones del Comité de Libertad Sindical” de este organismo. El texto enfatiza la distinción entre huelgas con reivindicaciones laborales y sindicales y aquellas de naturaleza puramente política, las cuales no están cubiertas por los principios de libertad sindical, según la OIT. Se discute cómo la Constitución de Brasil y la legislación laboral tratan el derecho de huelga, enfocándose en dos sentencias importantes del Tribunal Supremo Federal, y se concluye que la “huelga política”, aunque relevante socialmente, requiere una interpretación restrictiva y no se ajusta plenamente al marco legal de las huelgas centradas en intereses laborales.

archives dans la guerre : Les archives comme butin de guerre, ressources stratégiques, enjeux idéologiques et biens culturels à protéger
Authors: Steinmann Roger
Published: May 2024

La spoliation ou la destruction d’archives n’est pas qu’un dommage collatéral de la guerre. Les archives peuvent représenter une ressource stratégique, conférant à celui qui s’en empare des avantages d’ordre militaire, politique ou économique sur son adversaire. Elles peuvent également servir dans l’effort de (contre-)propagande qui accompagne toute guerre dans l’ère de l’information. A l’époque contemporaine, les destructions et les spoliations d’archives prennent souvent une dimension idéologique ou identitaire. Face à ces dangers, les efforts entrepris pour protéger les archives, à l’instar d’autres biens culturels, s’internationalisent à partir de la Convention de La Haye (1954). Le concept du « lieu sûr » (Safe Haven), en particulier sa mise en œuvre en Suisse, est un exemple concret de la coopération internationale dans la protection des archives.

Abschliessend werden die Erkenntnisse und Resultate miteinander verknüpft, indem Lücken in der Landschaft identifiziert und mit den Bedürfnissen der Forschung kontrastiert werden sowie Desiderate für zukünftige Entwicklungen ausgewiesen werden.
Los roles de Gregoria Apasa en la rebelión altoperuana de 1781
Authors: Nogueira Patricia , Zanolli Carlos
Published: May 2024

Para febrero de 1781, varios poblados que permitían asegurar la entrada a la ciudad de La Paz desde los valles se habían levantado contra el poder español bajo el mando de un indígena aymara del común, llamado Julián Apasa, que tomó luego el nombre de Tupac Katari. Casi de manera paralela a ese movimiento, durante el mes de abril, con la captura de Tupac Amaru II, Diego Cristóbal Tupac Amaru trasladó el campamento rebelde a Azángaro. A partir de ese momento, Amarus y Kataris comenzaron a compartir la geografía rebelde. Esta situación les implicó la necesidad de establecer negociaciones y ciertos acuerdos ineludibles al enfrentar un enemigo común. Nadie podía perder de vista que acciones coordinadas y conjuntas ayudarían a golpear más y mejor a los españoles, y así obtener una victoria más rápida y menos onerosa en recursos materiales y vidas humanas. Fue a partir de aquellos acuerdos que Gregoria Apasa, hermana de Tupac Katari, desempeñó roles significativos tanto en el plano familiar como en el político, militar y dirigencial.

The benefits of study skills practice in improving EFL university students’ vocabulary
Authors: Benettayeb Assia
Published: May 2024

Study Skills are one of the most important modules English as a Foreign Language University students study for the first two years of their license degree. During this period, students are exposed to a variety of skills that help them study successfully. The practice of these skills and others using many assignments and tasks enables students to benefit from learning and improving vocabulary. This makes also study skills sessions a real opportunity for students to learn new vocabulary, reinforce the existing one, and therefore improve their lexical stock as a whole. The present paper is a case study conducted with ten-year EFL University students and four teachers at the University of Tlemcen (Algeria). It aims to emphasize the importance of study skills practice and its benefits on students’ EFL learning in general and vocabulary improvement in particular. To achieve this aim, two questionnaires and classroom observation are used to collect data which are analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The interpreted and discussed results confirm that study skills practice plays a crucial role in students’ vocabulary learning and improvement by offering them real occasions to use, learn, and reinforce vocabulary in addition to many other benefits. It is recommended for 1st year EFL University students to practice study skills regularly to improve their vocabulary.

Mini Review: A Case Review of Bovine Lymphosarcoma in a 6-Year-Old Angus Cow and the Economic Impact of BLV
Authors: Powers Cassandra M , Tippett Frederick
Published: May 2024

Bovine lymphosarcoma is a neoplasm of lymphocytes that is commonly associated with bovine leukemia virus (BLV). BLV can be transmitted both vertically and horizontally, and transmission is highly dependent on farm control measures. BLV-induced tumors usually arise from the CD5+ IgM+ B-cell subpopulations. Clinical signs associated with development of lymphosarcoma are highly variable. This is because the clinical symptoms observed depend on the location of the tumors and the affected organs. BLV has been eradicated in over 20 countries via traditional antibody testing and slaughter methods. This case review looks at a 6-year-old, angus beef cow that presented to the hospital for sudden death. Necropsy and histopathological examination revealed a marked lymphadenopathy and lymphocytic infiltration of multiple organs, consistent with bovine lymphosarcoma.
Centro de Interpretación del Folklore en Tarma
Authors:   , Arauzo Bassini Alfredo Sebastian
Published: May 2024

El Perú posee un 40% de danzas y un 20% de festividades nombradas PCI de la nación, de las cuales 9 de estas danzas (el 40%) y 8 festividades (el 30%) se dan en Junín, teniendo un total de 17 manifestaciones nombras PCI de la nación ubicándose en el segundo lugar por debajo de Cusco, sin embargo, a diferencia de los otros referentes, Cusco y Ayacucho, Junín solo posee 3 centros culturales y aun así recibe 300 mil turistas al año mostrando una clara desatención a esta gran presencia folclórica. De estas 17 manifestaciones, 14 se dan en Tarma, sin embargo, no posee un edificio cultural que responda a esta presencia. Dentro de Tarma, se practican 5 de las 9 danzas folclóricas (ósea el 65%) y 6 de las 9 festividades. Por tal problemática se propone un centro de interpretación del folclore, el cual busca evitar el uso netamente informativo para responder al nuevo consumo cultural donde el usuario genera su propia experiencia y está en constante interacción con el patrimonio inmaterial revelado a través de la interpretación. Este centro busca dotar de infraestructura a esta alta demanda, puesto que actualmente las comparsas utilizan las calles, parques, y plazas para prepararse; no se trata de que la fiesta vaya al centro, se trata de que el centro vaya a la fiesta. Para generar un mayor impacto en la propuesta se busca complementar con el énfasis de arquitectura vernácula, rescatando las características de su arquitectura prehispánica, colonial y contemporánea de Tarma para luego reinterpretarlas, el proyecto busca evocación, simbolización y reinterpretación de estas características, pues no se trata de nostalgia sino de memoria.
Periodismo digital. Análisis del tratamiento informativo de los diarios “El Comercio” y “La República” sobre las protestas en contra del Gobierno de la Presidenta Dina Boluarte del 4 al 19 de enero de 2023
Authors:   , Samanez Romero Romy Beatriz
Published: May 2024

El tema a tratar en la presente tesis es el estudio descriptivo y comparativo de las características del tratamiento informativo de las protestas en contra del gobierno de la presidenta Dina Boluarte ocurridas durante del 4 al 19 de enero de 2023, en donde se compara las notas informativas publicadas en la web del diario “El Comercio” y “La República”. Ambos medios de comunicación, a lo largo de los años, han mantenido posturas ideológicas distintas, por su lado, el diario “El Comercio” siempre ha estado orientado a la derecha, mientras que el diario “La República" a la izquierda. En ese sentido, resulta relevante determinar si ambos diarios se han mantenido neutrales en el abordaje que les han dado a las noticias o si por el contrario han incurrido en la imparcialidad y sesgos debido a sus posturas, ya que los ciudadanos merecen recibir información de calidad y veraz. De esa manera, el aporte de esta investigación será demostrar que ambos diarios, pese a ser dos medios reconocidos en el país, en algún momento han incurrido en difundir información sesgada.

Published: May 2024

Las medidas antidumping tienen como función principal limitar las importaciones a productos que ingresan con preció dumping al territorio nacional y que tengan un efecto contra verso en la rama de producción nacional (Organización Mundial del Comercio [OMC], s.f.b). Y el Perú no es una excepción en la implementación de esta medida; de hecho, uno de los rubros más afectados es el textil (Tafur, 2015). Pero, el uso del antidumping ha llegado a tener resultados más allá que una limitante, ha logrado restringir totalmente las importaciones de ciertos productos y afectando a diferentes empresas extranjeras y nacionales (Staiger & Wolak, 1992), Ante ello, esta tesis busca conocer las repercusiones del antidumping a las importaciones de cierres de cremalleras y sus partes en el año 2021. Para ello, se ha considerado analizar diferentes categorías preliminares y emergentes como: (i) el antidumping, (ii) las importaciones y (iii) el producto. Estableciendo diferentes objetivos específicos y analizar las coincidencias con las hipótesis desarrolladas. En la investigación se empleó un estudio cualitativo de tipo exploratorio no experimental. Se realizaron 15 entrevistas no estructuradas a importadores, productores y especialistas del tema. Mostrando resultados muy resaltantes sobre los diferentes participantes, con diferencias en los resultados siendo divididos por los importadores, productores nacionales y economía peruana. Para ello se plantearon diferentes conclusiones y finalmente recomendaciones del caso desarrollado.

Thumb Arthrodesis in The Arthritis Cases: A Scoping Review
Authors: Akbar Ghifar , Kalanjati Viskasari Pintoko , Wardhana Teddy Heri
Published: May 2024

Backgrounds: Osteoarthritis in the thumb is a common condition affecting men and women, especially postmenopausal women, causing pain, swelling, and reduced hand function. Arthrodesis is a treatment option for thumb arthritis, increasingly accessible in medical practice, though coverage remains limited. This article aims to review recent case reports on thumb arthrodesis in older people over the last three years, depicting the method's use and outcomes.
Methods: After filtering per PRISMA-Sc guidelines on PubMed and the Journal of Hand Surgery (2020-2023), with additional manual filtering, four articles were found and analyzed using the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist for Case Reports before inclusion.
Result: Four case reports related to pollex arthrodesis in the last three years were published in PubMed. These include rare cases of bilateral thumb psoriatic arthritis, a novel surgical approach for nonunion after arthrodesis, and successful fusion using a vascularized bone graft. The limited number of articles may be attributed to the research cycle, shifting focus, and alternative treatments. With increased healthcare access and osteoarthritis prevalence, more people will seek treatment, potentially leading to increased arthrodesis procedures. Opportunities for new research include evaluating surgical techniques, biomaterials, and growth factors to enhance bone healing. Long-term follow-up studies remain crucial for identifying risk factors and improving patient outcomes in thumb arthrodesis.
Conclusion: Despite limited research published in the last three years, arthrodesis remains a relevant treatment option for pollex conditions, with rising demand due to increasing osteoarthritis prevalence and healthcare access. Further research on surgical innovations and long-term outcomes is crucial.

Effects of Land Fires on Peat Soil Characteristics in Landasan Ulin District, Banjarbaru City
Authors: Ellisa Ellisa , Arisanty Deasy , Muhaimin Muhammad
Published: May 2024

Peat is a type of soil that has a dry condition, which causes it to burn easily. When the peat is burned, the spread of fire will occur very quickly until it reaches the ground, because peat soil does not contain solid soil, but branches, grass, and tree debris. Even though the fire on the surface has been extinguished, the fire that is in the inner layer is not necessarily extinguished. This study aims to determine the effect of land fires on the characteristics of peat soil in Landasan Ulin District, Banjarbaru City, including the physical and chemical properties of the peat soil. This research uses quantitative methods with a descriptive approach. Primary data in this study include: texture, color, bulk density (BD), soil structure, pH, and nutrients. Primary data collection was in the form of field surveys by looking at peatlands and the physical and chemical characteristics of the soil with 14 samples taken at 7 sample points. The results showed that on peatlands that had been burned, there was an increase in the value of BD, pH, and soluble Fe so that the potential for absorbing and distributing water was low, and plant roots were difficult to absorb nutrients. Organic C content also decreased, causing soil fertility to decrease.

Memory and emotion are highly vulnerable to psychiatric disorders like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which has been linked to serotonin (5-HT) metabolism disruptions. In fact, over 90% of the 5-HT precursor tryptophan (Trp) is metabolized via the Trp-kynurenine (KYN) meta-bolic pathway, producing a variety of bioactive molecules. The aadat (kat2) gene encodes mito-chondrial kynurenine aminotransferase (KAT) isotype 2, responsible for kynurenic acid (KYNA) production. Little is known about its role in behavior. In CRISPR/Cas9-induced aadat knockout (kat2−/−) mice, we examined the effects on emotion, memory, motor function, Trp and its metabolite levels, enzyme activities in the plasma and the urine of 8-week-old males compared to wild-type mice. Transgenic mice showed more depressive-like behaviors in the forced swim test, but not in the tail suspension, anxiety, or memory tests. They also had fewer center field and corner entries, shorter walking distances, and fewer jumping counts in the open field test. Plasma metabolite levels are generally consistent with those of urine: KYN, antioxidant KYNs, 5-hydroxyindolacetic acid, and indole-3-acetic acid levels are lower; enzyme activities in KATs, kynureninase, and monoamine oxidase/aldehyde dehydrogenase are lower, but kynurenine 3-monooxygenase is higher; and ox-idative stress and excitotoxicity indices are higher. Transgenic mice show depression-like behavior in a learned helplessness model, emotional indifference, and motor deficits, coupled with a decrease in KYNA, a shift of Trp metabolism toward the KYN-3-HK pathway, and a partial decrease in the gut microbial Trp-indole pathway metabolite. This is the first evidence that deleting the aadat gene causes depression-like behaviors that are unique to despair experience, which appears to be linked to excitatory neurotoxic and oxidative stresses. This may lead to the development of a double-hit preclinical model in experience-based depression, better understanding of these complex condi-tions, and more effective therapeutic strategies by elucidating the relationship between Trp me-tabolism and PTSD pathogenesis.
Assembly Theory of Binary Messages

Using assembly theory, we investigate the assembly pathways of binary strings (bitstrings) of length N formed by joining bits present in the assembly pool and the bitstrings that entered the pool as a result of previous joining operations. We show that the bitstring assembly index is bounded from below by the shortest addition chain for N, and we conjecture about the form of the upper bound. We define the degree of causation for the minimum assembly index and show that for certain N it has regularities that can be used to determine the length of the shortest addition chain for N. We show that a bitstring with the smallest assembly index for N can be assembled by a binary program of length equal to this index if the length of this bitstring is expressible as a product of Fibonacci numbers. The results confirm that four Planck areas provide a minimum information capacity that corresponds to a minimum thermodynamic (Bekenstein-Hawking) entropy. Knowing that the problem of determining the assembly index is at least NP-complete, we conjecture that this problem is NP-complete, while the problem of creating the bitstring so that it would have a predetermined largest assembly index is NP-hard. The proof of this conjecture would imply P ≠ NP, since every computable problem and every computable solution can be encoded as a finite bitstring.

Marine industries are dependent on the ocean and often have a direct impact on the marine environment. Although previous studies have talked about pollution from marine industries, it is not known to what extent and to what extent these behaviors affect the ocean. Therefore, this study examines the impacts of major marine industries on the marine environment, using China as an example. The Ministry of Ecology and Environment of the People's Republic of China categorizes the quality of seawater into Class I, Class II, Class III, Class IV, and Inferior Class IV in descending order according to the quality from good to poor. In this study, water quality of Class I and Class II are defined as good quality seawater, Class III as average quality, Class IV and Class IV as poor quality, and the proportion of the area of seawater with different water quality to the total area of the sea area symbolizes the overall quality of the marine environment. We use panel data from 11 provinces and cities along the coast of mainland China from 2006 to 2020, estimated by the full feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) method, to study the impacts of the development of coastal tourism, marine transportation, marine shipbuilding, marine salt, mariculture, and marine fishing on the marine environment. The empirical results show that, in descending order of the degree of influence, the marine industries that cause a decrease in the area of good quality seawater are coastal tourism, mariculture and shipbuilding, and the marine industries that cause an increase in the area of poor quality seawater are marine transportation and shipbuilding, while the marine salt industry has no obvious influence on the marine environment, and the development of the marine fishing industry indirectly contributes to the improvement of the marine environment.

Published: May 2024

The corrosion inhibition behavior of cetyl pyridinium chloride (CPC) on mild steel (MS) in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution was examined using the weight loss method and potentiodynamic polarization method. The experimented MS surface was characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Corrosion rate and corrosion efficiency was calsulated via weight loss and potentiodynamic polarization methods where the corrosion rate in 0.5 M H2SO4 , 0.000192 M, and 0.0077 M of CPC solution was 12.09×10-3, 8.23×10-3, 6.63×10-5 (mm/Year), respectively and the inhibition efficiency of 94.42% and 98.54%. FESEM studies demonstrated the corrosion attack on MS surface. Also, the EDX showed the presence of nitrogen of CPC. Thus, CPC acts as an important corrosion inhibitor.
Impacts of Land Use Transition on Ecosystem Services in the Dongting Lake Area
Authors: Shi Xuan , Ning Qimeng
Published: May 2024

Urbanization-induced land use transition results in a decline in ecosystem services, which has implications for regional ecological security. In order to explore the relationship between ecosystem services and land use transition, this paper utilizes the InVEST model, geographically weighted regression model to examine the impact of land use transition on ecosystem services in the Dongting Lake area (DLA). The results showed that (1) During the period 2000-2020, the intensity and motivation of land-use transition showed obvious spatial and temporal heterogeneity with the variation of urbanization development. (2) Habitat quality and Carbon sequestrations showed a downward trend. In contrast, food supply followed an upward trend; soil conservation and water yield services initially increased and dropped later. The overall spatial changes in habitat quality and Carbon sequestration appear to be insignificant. Food supply shows significant differences in the plains compared to other areas; while soil conservation and water yield service shows significant changes in places other than the DLA. (3) From 2000 to 2020, land use transition dynamics, population density, GDP density, night lighting and transition intensity had mainly negative effects on ecosystem services. Only the Normalized Vegetation Index (NDVI) showed a positive effect on ecosystem services. The results of the research will provide valuable references for the development and implementation of spatial ecological restoration planning and land use policies in the national territory.

To achieve n-type doping in diamond, extensive investigations employing first principles have been conducted on various models of phosphorus doping and boron-phosphorus co-doping. The primary focus of this study is to comprehensively analyze the formation energy, band structure, density of states, and ionization energy of these structures. It is observed that within a diamond structure solely composed of phosphorus atoms, the formation energy of an individual carbon atom is excessively high. However, the substitution of two carbon atoms leads to the conversion of diamond into a p-type semiconductor. Upon examining the P-B co-doping structure, it is revealed that the doped impurities exhibit a tendency to form more stable cluster configurations. As the separation between the freely doped atoms and the cluster impurity structure increases, the overall stability of the structure diminishes, consequently resulting in an elevation of the ionization energy. Analysis of the electronic density of states demonstrates that the electron orbit of the B atom makes negligible contributions to the impurity levels during P-B doping.

Environmental factors, such as drought-stress, significantly impact maize growth and productivity worldwide. To improve yield and quality, effective strategies for early detection and mitigation of drought-stress in maize are essential. This paper presents a detailed analysis of three imaging trials conducted to detect drought-stress in maize plants using an existing, custom-developed, low cost, high throughput phenotyping platform. We propose a pipeline for early detection of water stress in maize plants using a Vision Transformer classifier and analysis of distributions of near-infrared (NIR) reflectance from the plants. We also explored suitable regions on the plant that are more sensitive to drought-stress and show that the region surrounding the youngest expanding leaf (YEL) and the stem can be used as a more consistent alternative to analysis involving just the YEL. Our results show good separation between well-watered and drought-stressed trials for two out of the three imaging trials both in terms of classification accuracy from data-driven features as well as through analysis of histograms of NIR reflectance.
