Published: November 2024

Surfactin, a potent biosurfactant produced by Bacillus subtilis, is synthesized using a non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) encoded by the srfAA-AD operon. Despite its association with quorum sensing via the ComX pheromone, the dynamic behavior and in vivo quantification of the NRPS complex remain underexplored. This study established an in vivo quantification system using fluorescence labeling to monitor the availability of surfactin-forming NRPS subunits (SrfAA, SrfAB, SrfAC, and SrfAD) during bioprocesses. Four Bacillus subtilis sensor strains were constructed by fusing these subunits with the megfp gene, resulting in strains BMV25, BMV26, BMV27, and BMV28. These strains displayed growth and surfactin productivity similar to those of the parental strain, BMV9. Fluorescence signals indicated varying NRPS availability, with BMV27 showing the highest and BMV25 showing the lowest relative fluorescence units (RFUs). RFUs were converted to the relative number of NRPS molecules using open-source FPCountR package. During bioprocesses, NRPS availability peaked at the end of the exponential growth phase and declined in the stationary phase, suggesting reduced NRPS productivity under nutrient-limited conditions and potential post-translational regulation. This study provides a quantitative framework for monitoring NRPS dynamics in vivo, offering insights into optimizing surfactin production. The established sensor strains and quantification system enable the real-time monitoring of NRPS availability, aiding bioprocess optimization for industrial applications of surfactin and potentially other non-ribosomal peptides.

Published: November 2024

We examined the infective capacity of the mermithid nematodes, Romanomermis iyengari, Romanomermis culicivorax, Romanomermis wuchangensis, and Strelkovimermis spiculatus in fourth-instar mosquito larvae nearing pupation of Aedes aegypti, Aedes sierrensis, and Culex pipiens to determine their prevalence in the adults of these mosquitoes. We exposed 100 fourth-instar larvae to pre-parasitic nematodes (juvenile 2 stages) at a ratio of 10:1 (10 nematodes per mosquito larvae). Two days after the nematode applications, a sample of 20 pupae was taken and placed into transparent plastic cups with distilled water to observe the development and growth of pupae until they reached the adult phase with nematodes inside. The four species of nematodes showed the highest prevalence of infection on the Cx. pipiens mosquito, exceeding 55% parasitism, while R. wuchangensis and R. iyengari surpassed this value on Ae. sierrensis by 61.11% and 57.89%. Aedes aegypti was the least susceptible to nematodes, with parasitism values between 30% and 40%. In laboratory settings, we obtained high rates (26.32–77.78%) of parasitized adults when the three-mosquito species in fourth-instar larvae nearing pupation were exposed to infective nematodes. R. wuchangensis (1.86) and S. spiculatus (1.80) were infected Cx. pipiens with greater intensity and R. iyengari (1.33) and R. culicivorax (1.09) with less intensity. This evaluation offers valuable insights into the variability of nematode prevalence of infection and infectivity in fourth-instar larvae, which host mermithids capable of progressing through the pupal stage to adulthood.

Authors: Sultana Sharmin , Lawag Ivan Lozada , Lim Lee Yong , Foster Kevin J. , Locher Cornelia
Published: November 2024

This study critically investigates the aluminium chloride–based colorimetric determination of the total flavonoid content (TFC) of honey. Following a comprehensive review of the recent literature reporting the use of the assay in the determination of TFC in honey, 10 honeys of different botanical origins were investigated using the colorimetric method alongside an artificial honey that was used as a control. Using spiking experiments, this study demonstrates that the flavonoid concentrations commonly found in honey are too low for a direct measurement and thus some of the TFC data reported in the literature might more likely be a reflection of the honey’s inherent colour rather than a product of the coordination complex formed specifically between flavonoids and Al3+ ions. This paper highlights the importance of correct blanking and suggests alternative approaches to the traditional TFC assay for honey to ensure analysis results that are truly reflective of honey’s TFC.

Published: November 2024

Food–drug interactions (FDIs) are pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic changes in drug effects caused by the presence of specific foods. To identify and prevent FDIs, pharmacists, alongside other healthcare professionals, should possess a certain level of knowledge. This study aimed to assess knowledge of FDIs among Croatian pharmacists. A total of 206 participants were included in this cross-sectional study. The median knowledge score among Croatian pharmacists was 69.44%, with an interquartile range of 19.44. Croatian pharmacists most commonly recognized FDIs involving theophylline, warfarin, and tetracycline, while the lowest rate of correct answers was observed with digoxin interactions. Future studies should evaluate pharmacists’ clinical practice concerning FDIs. Additionally, more research is needed to develop educational programs on this topic, either at the university level or for continuing education.

Published: November 2024

This paper introduces a high-precision alignment method for laser wireless power transmission (LWPT) systems, integrating neural network-based target detection with a perturbation-observation technique. The objective is to enhance the alignment accuracy between the laser spot and the photovoltaic array, thereby improving energy transfer efficiency. The method’s key feature is its ability to achieve these results without requiring additional optical components, simplifying system design. Continual assessment and adjustment based on real-time output power data ensure optimal alignment, maximizing the photovoltaic array power output. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method achieved an initial alignment precision with pixel errors below 3%, translating to a physical error of approximately 7 mm. Fine-tuning through the perturbation-observation method further optimized the alignment, resulting in a photovoltaic array power output of 98.70% of its maximum potential. This hybrid approach provides a reliable solution for boosting the performance of LWPT systems, offering significant potential for practical applications.

Lipids are the basic biological molecules in plants, serving as glycerolipids for cell membranes and triacylglycerols as an energy source. Fatty acids are the major components of plant lipids. Both lipids and fatty acids significantly influence rice quality. Recent studies, through genetic analysis, have made significant progress in uncovering the functional mechanisms and regulatory pathways of lipid metabolism including the biological synthesis and degradation of fatty acids, glycerolipids, and triacylglycerols in rice. Meanwhile, quantitative trait loci (QTLs) identified by analyzing the natural variations of the composition and contents of lipids and fatty acids have been integrated and represented on 12 chromosomes. Lipids play multifaceted roles in the growth and development and stress response of rice. Through metabolic engineering and gene-editing technologies, significant advancements have been made in improving the lipid content in rice grains. These studies highlight the understanding the of molecular basis of lipid metabolism and lay a substantial basis for the genetic improvement of rice quality.

Authors: Kang Chenxing , Peng Lei , Li Yantao , Zong Jinhui
Published: November 2024

This paper introduces a novel technique for enhancing the joint strength in structural acrylic glass (polymethyl methacrylate, PMMA) under thermal cycling conditions. By employing bulk polymerization, the strength of PMMA joints was significantly reinforced. Tensile assessments from 20 °C to 140 °C were conducted to evaluate the mechanical properties of acrylic joints under varying temperature conditions. A constitutive model was established to correlate the strength of both the base material and the joints with temperature variations. The tensile test outcomes demonstrated that the innovative bulk polymerization method under thermal cycling conditions effectively increased the joint material strength to reach up to 90% of the base material’s strength, and the post-thermal cycling tests demonstrate that post-thermal cycling has essentially no impact on the strength and modulus. This advancement in joint strength enhancement not only expands the potential applications of acrylic glass in architectural structures but also lays a substantial theoretical foundation for construction practices.

Published: November 2024

Certain bacteria can transfer extracellular electrons and are applied in microbial fuel cells (MFCs). In this study, we compared the extracellular electron transfer characteristics of 85 genomes from nine genera, namely Blautia, Bradyrhizobium, Desulfuromonas, Dialister, Geobacter, Geothrix, Shewanella, Sphingomonas, and Phascolarctobacterium, using the bioinformatic tools Prokka 1.14.6, Roary 3.13.0, Panaroo 1.3.4, PEPPAN 1.0.6, and Twilight. The unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) clustering of genes related to extracellular electron transfer revealed a good genus-level structure. The relative abundance and hierarchical clustering analyses performed in this study suggest that the bacteria Desulfuromonas, Geobacter, Geothrix, and Shewanella have more extracellular electron transfer genes and cluster together. Further functional differences among the genomes showed that 66 genes in these bacteria were significantly higher in abundance than in the other five bacteria (p < 0.01) based on PEPPAN followed by a Twilight analysis. Our work provides new potential insights into extracellular electron transfer in microorganisms.

Authors: Cheng Xueting , Hao Jie , Li Yuxiang , Wei Juan , Wang Weiru , Lu Yaohui
Published: November 2024

The maintenance and upkeep costs of wind farms and their internal wind turbines have been increasing annually. Therefore, a systematic evaluation of their operating status is of great importance in guiding reductions in maintenance and upkeep costs. In this aspect, this article proposes a three-level service quality index system of “key component–wind turbine–wind farm” based on the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. Firstly, raw data on the wind farm are preprocessed to avoid the impact of abnormal data on the evaluation results. Then, the data types are classified and the degradation degree of each indicator is calculated. Based on the entropy weight method, the weight of each indicator is weighted and summed to obtain the overall membership degree. Finally, the overall health level is determined according to the “maximum membership degree”, which is the evaluation result. This article conducts an evaluation experiment based on the actual operating data of Gansu Huadian Nanqiu Wind Farm. The example shows that the proposed strategy can systematically evaluate the health level of wind farms and predict the future trends of health status changes. The research results can provide reference for the reasonable arrangement of unit scheduling, operation, and maintenance plans in wind farms.

Authors: Aman Abid , Chen Yan , Yiqi Liu
Published: November 2024

Accurate monitoring of complex industrial plants is crucial for ensuring safe operations and reliable management of desired quality. Early detection of abnormal events is essential to preempt serious consequences, enhance system performance, and reduce manufacturing costs. In this work, we propose a novel methodology for fault detection based on Slow Feature Analysis (SFA) tailored for time series models and statistical process control. Fault detection is critical in process monitoring and can ensure that systems operate efficiently and safely. This study investigates the effectiveness of various multivariate statistical methods, including Slow Feature Analysis (SFA), Kernel Slow Feature Analysis (KSFA), Dynamic Slow Feature Analysis (DSFA), and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in detecting faults within the Tennessee Eastman (TE), Benchmark Simulation Model No. 1 (BSM 1) datasets and Beijing wastewater treatment plant (real world). Our comprehensive analysis indicates that KSFA and DSFA significantly outperform traditional methods by providing enhanced sensitivity and fault detection capabilities, particularly in complex, nonlinear, and dynamic data environments. The comparative analysis underscores the superior performance of KSFA and DSFA in capturing comprehensive process behavior, making them robust, cutting-edge choices for advanced fault detection applications. Such methodologies promise substantial improvements in industrial plant monitoring, contributing to heightened system reliability, safety, and overall operational efficiency.
On the Viscous Ringed Disk Evolution in the Kerr Black Hole Spacetime
Authors: Pugliese Daniela , Stuchlík Zdenek , Karas Vladimir
Published: November 2024

Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are observed in active galactic nuclei interacting with their environments, where chaotical, discontinuous accretion episodes may leave matter remnants orbiting the central attractor in the form of sequences of orbiting toroidal structures, with strongly different features as different rotation orientations with respect to the central Kerr BH. Such ringed structures can be characterized by peculiar internal dynamics, where co-rotating and counter-rotating accretion stages can be mixed and distinguished by tori interaction, drying–feeding processes, screening effects, and inter-disk jet emission. A ringed accretion disk (RAD) is a full general relativistic model of a cluster of toroidal disks, an aggregate of axi-symmetric co-rotating and counter-rotating disks orbiting in the equatorial plane of a single central Kerr SMBH. In this work, we discuss the time evolution of a ringed disk. Our analysis is a detailed numerical study of the evolving RAD properties formed by relativistic thin disks, using a thin disk model and solving a diffusion-like evolution equation for an RAD in the Kerr spacetime, adopting an initial wavy (ringed) density profile. The RAD reaches a single-disk phase, building accretion to the inner edge regulated by the inner edge boundary conditions. The mass flux, the radial drift, and the disk mass of the ringed disk are evaluated and compared to each of its disk components. During early inter-disk interaction, the ring components spread, destroying the internal ringed structure and quickly forming a single disk with timescales governed by ring viscosity prescriptions. Different viscosities and boundary conditions have been tested. We propose that a system of viscously spreading accretion rings can originate as a product of tidal disruption of a multiple stellar system that comes too close to an SMBH.
VAS-3D: A Visual-Based Alerting System for Detecting Drowsy Drivers in Intelligent Transportation Systems
Authors: El Zein Hadi , Harb Hassan , Delmotte François , Zahwe Oussama , Haddad Samir
Published: November 2024

Nowadays, driving accidents are considered one of the most crucial challenges for governments and communities that affect transportation systems and peoples lives. Unfortunately, there are many causes behind the accidents; however, drowsiness is one of the main factors that leads to a significant number of injuries and deaths. In order to reduce its effect, researchers and communities have proposed many techniques for detecting drowsiness situations and alerting the driver before an accident occurs. Mostly, the proposed solutions are visually-based, where a camera is positioned in front of the driver to detect their facial behavior and then determine their situation, e.g., drowsy or awake. However, most of the proposed solutions make a trade-off between detection accuracy and speed. In this paper, we propose a novel Visual-based Alerting System for Detecting Drowsy Drivers (VAS-3D) that ensures an optimal trade-off between the accuracy and speed metrics. Mainly, VAS-3D consists of two stages: detection and classification. In the detection stage, we use pre-trained Haar cascade models to detect the face and eyes of the driver. Once the driver’s eyes are detected, the classification stage uses several pre-trained Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models to classify the driver’s eyes as either open or closed, and consequently their corresponding situation, either awake or drowsy. Subsequently, we tested and compared the performance of several CNN models, such as InceptionV3, MobileNetV2, NASNetMobile, and ResNet50V2. We demonstrated the performance of VAS-3D through simulations on real drowsiness datasets and experiments on real world scenarios based on real video streaming. The obtained results show that VAS-3D can enhance the accuracy detection of drowsy drivers by at least 7.5% (the best accuracy reached was 95.5%) and the detection speed by up to 57% (average of 0.25 ms per frame) compared to other existing models.

Authors: Kim Nam Seok , Kim Ji Hoon , Lee Yoon Suk , Lee In Kyu , Kang Won Kyung
Published: November 2024

Purpose: This study aimed to demonstrate the safety of new double-stapling technique (nDST), without a crossing line and dog ears, by comparing with conventional DST (cDST) in laparoscopic low anterior resection (LAR).Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 98 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic LAR for rectal cancer from January 2018 to December 2020. The inclusion criterion was an anastomosis level below the peritoneal reflection and 4 cm above the anal verge. In the nDST group, the staple line of the linear cutter was sutured using barbed sutures to shorten the staple line before firing the circular stapler. Therefore, there were no crossing lines after firing the circular stapler. A 2:1 propensity score matching was performed between the cDST and nDST groups.Results: After propensity score matching, 39 patients were in the cDST group and 20 were in the nDST group. There were no significant differences in patient demographics between the 2 groups. There was no difference in the total operation time between the cDST and nDST groups (124.0±26.2 minutes vs. 125.2±20.3 minutes, P=0.853). Morbidity rates were similar between the 2 groups (9 cases [23.1%] vs. 5 cases [25.0%], P=0.855). There was no significant difference in leakage rate (4 cases [10.3%] vs. 1 case [5.0%], P=0.847) and anastomotic bleeding rate (1 case [2.6%] vs. 3 cases [15.0%], P=0.211).Conclusion: The nDST to eliminate the crossing line and dog ears in laparoscopic LAR is technically feasible and safe. However, more attention should be paid to anastomotic bleeding in such cases.

Authors: Luo Qiaoling , Wang Xi , Zhou Junfang , Liu Mingxing , Rong Jiayu
Published: November 2024

Rapid urbanization has markedly affected urban ecosystem health (EH), making it imperative to explore the relationships between EH and urbanization, as well as to identify the key factors influencing EH. This study addresses 2 key research gaps: (a) The traditional pressure–state–response evaluation framework fails to integrate ecosystem service demands and landscape pattern indices and has not formed a comprehensive EH evaluation system. (b) There is a lack of research on investigating the drivers and thresholds of EH across the areas in different spatial relationship between urbanization and EH at the urban scale. Here, taking Wuhan, China, as an example, this study assesses EH utilizing an optimized pressure–state–response evaluation framework. Additionally, bivariate Moran’s
I
is used to analyze the spatial relationship between EH and urbanization. We use gradient boosting decision trees to flexibly model the nonlinear relationships between influencing factors and EH, while Shapley additive explanations quantify each factor’s contribution, enhancing model interpretability and clarifying their effects on EH. The findings reveal a spatial distribution pattern characterized by lower EH levels in central areas and higher EH levels in periphery areas, with a notable negative spatial correlation between EH and urbanization. The spatial heterogeneity and clustering of EH and urbanization across Wuhan exhibit a ringlike pattern radiating from the center to the periphery. Landscape pattern index and land use are identified as key influencing factors of EH in Wuhan, with substantial regional variation, necessitating targeted environmental protection strategies. This study offers insights into urban planning and policymaking, promoting sustainable urban development.

Movilidades pastoriles durante la prehistoria. El caso de los pastores del Néguev y del Sinaí
Authors: Cismondi Ezequiel
Published: November 2024

En este trabajo analizamos las diferentes formas de movilidad en los desiertos del Néguev y del Sinaí durante la prehistoria. Desde tiempos tempranos se observan en el registro arqueológico diversos testimonios que podrían indicar prácticas de subsistencia basadas en la movilidad estacional. Los investigadores sugieren que durante el Neolítico estas poblaciones se habrían dedicado a la cacería hasta que en el VII milenio a.C. incorporaron el pastoreo móvil. También se identificaron bienes alóctonos importados a través de intercambios. Nuestro objetivo consiste en analizar la movilidad de los habitantes del desierto durante la prehistoria en función de sus prácticas de subsistencia y de culto, así como de su participación en las interacciones interregionales y en la circulación de bienes. Para ese fin, luego de discutir diversas teorías en torno a los estudios de la movilidad, abordamos una serie de evidencias arqueológicas que indicarían prácticas de movilidad a partir de un enfoque internodal, así como los cambios que experimentaron estas prácticas desde el  Neolítico hasta el Bronce Antiguo para, finalmente, proponer algunas consideraciones con respecto a la relevancia del estudio de la movilidad en el pasado.

Authors: Ranubaya Fransesco Agnes , Krisnanda Vincentius Septian , Endi Yohanes
Published: November 2024

This study analyzes the Sabat Sebatatn marriage custom in Banua Simpakng and compares it with the marriage ceremony in the Catholic Church through a literature study approach. Through in-depth analysis of relevant texts and literature sources, the research illustrates the essential differences between the two marriage systems. The Sabat Sebatatn custom in the local cultural context of Banua Simpakng emphasizes family and community togetherness in a series of rituals rich in meaning. Catholic Church marriage, on the other hand, is spiritually oriented with an emphasis on spiritual commitment between the couple. This comparison provides insight into how marriage customs and religion co-exist in shaping marriage norms in society. By integrating a qualitative perspective and desk research, this study provides a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between local traditions and global religion in the context of marriage.

Le travail de culture

Entre Georges Gaillard et moi, des affinités plutôt que des connivences : ce sera le fil rouge de mon texte. Je me réfère ici à l’histoire du mot « connivence », qui signifia d’abord « fermer les yeux », au sens d’une « indulgence coupable », avant de prendre son sens actuel : un accord tacite, qui va sans dire. Or, l’essentiel, même s’il n’est pas dicible, ne va pas sans dire…
Les affaires du temps relatées par Loret dans La Muse historique : portée et postérité d’anecdotes en vers burlesques (1650 – 1652)
Authors: Spriet Stella
Published: November 2024

À partir de 1650, Jean Loret commence la publication de sa Muse historique, gazette en vers burlesques qui sera publiée chaque semaine jusqu’à sa mort en 1665. Contrairement à la Gazette de Renaudot, le but de Loret est d’offrir à ses lecteurs un véritable divertissement et, comme il vise le delectare, il lui faut trouver une forme particulière pour traiter de l’actualité. Le succès incontestable de son entreprise au xviiᵉ siècle est marqué par le nombre et la qualité de ses lecteurs, et par le fait que cette gazette devienne rapidement un modèle, pour Scarron notamment. Les épîtres rédigées pendant les premières années sont en grande partie consacrées à la Fronde, ce qui permet d’examiner les modalités de la raillerie ainsi que le regard porté sur les différents acteurs et événements de l’Histoire. Cependant, rire des affaires du temps n’est pas toujours une entreprise facile et Loret ne cesse de se plaindre de la censure.
Traduire la satire : Il Divortio celeste et Ferrante Pallavicino en France de 1643 à l’an III
Authors: Onelli Corinna
Published: November 2024

Cet article s’interroge sur les raisons du remarquable succès que connut en France le libelle satirique anonyme intitulé Il Divortio celeste (1643) qui raconte comment Jésus a décidé de divorcer de l’Église catholique. Envoyé sur terre pour recueillir des preuves contre l’épouse infidèle, saint Paul s’entretient avec plusieurs personnages représentatifs de la société italienne de l’époque qui dénoncent unanimement la corruption de la cour de Rome et la cupidité du pape Urbain VIII. Aujourd’hui, le libelle est couramment attribué à Ferrante Pallavicino, écrivain que le pape fit exécuter en 1644. Il Divortio a été très rapidement traduit en français dans deux versions différentes en 1644, dont l’article met en relief la nature « véhiculaire », avant de s’interroger sur le rapport temporel entre une information politique et son élaboration satirique, notamment en ce qui concerne la guerre de Castro (dernier chapitre du Divortio). L’article présente ensuite la traduction du libelle de 1696. Le traducteur, appartenant au cercle de Pierre Bayle, essaye de masquer la charge anticléricale du Divortio, en le présentant par prudence comme un libelle diffamatoire ancré dans le passé. À l’inverse, dans son ultime version en français qui date de l’an III de la Révolution (1794-1795), Il Divortio est ouvertement présenté comme une œuvre toujours actuelle, puisque les vices du clergé « sont à-peu-près les mêmes dans tous les tems ».
