Evaluation of a new pruning and tending system for young stands of Douglas fir
Authors: Schönauer Marian , Hoffmann Stephan , Nolte Martin , Jaeger Dirk 
Published: May 2021

In Germany, management restrictions for Norway spruce ( (L.) H. Karst.) due to climate change lead to increasing interest in Douglas fir ( (Mirb.) Franco) as a potential substituting species. However, Douglas fir requires cost-intensive silvicultural treatments, such as periodic thinnings and, in particular, pruning. In order to improve the efficiency of such treatments, a new tending system with an adapted two-step work system was analyzed. The new system, using electric pruning shears and the backpack clearing saw Husqvarna 535FBX âSpacerâ, was compared to the conventional three-step work system, using handsaw and chainsaw and characterized by tree selection previously conducted as an independent work step. Time and motion studies to determine productivity and costs, as well as ergonomic analysis through heart rate measurements and posture analysis were conducted. Overall, the new system was found to be more productive and to have lower costs, with 8.9 trees per scheduled system hour (4.17 â¬ tree), compared to the conventional system with 8.1 trees per scheduled system hour (4.44 â¬ tree). Ergonomic improvements with the new system could be mainly observed during the felling of competing trees, when the level of heart rate reserve was reduced by 9.3 percent points, compared to the conventional system. However, significant advantages in reducing unfavorable body postures expected for the âSpacerâ could not be confirmed. Since time savings within the new system were mainly attributed to the adaptation of workflow and the use of the electric shears during pruning, it should be considered to replace the âSpacerâ within the new system by light chainsaws for best results under the conditions investigated.Picea abiesPseudotsuga menziesiiâ1â1

Penelitian ini membahas tentang pembentukan portofolio optimal menggunakan model Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) dan model Conditional Mean Variance (CMV). Pada model MAD risiko portofolio diukur menggunakan rata–rata deviasi standar sehingga portofolio optimal dapat diperoleh dengan menggunakan pemrograman linear. Sedangkan portofolio model CMV, rata–rata return diestimasi menggunakan model Autoregressive (AR) dan risiko (variansi) diestimasi menggunakan model GARCH. Selanjutnya kedua model portofolio diterapkan dalam membentuk portofolio optimal pada saham–saham yang terdaftar dalam Indeks Saham Syariah Indonesia (ISSI) periode 4 Juli 2016 sampai 4 Juli 2018. Kinerja kedua portofolio dianalisis menggunakan indeks Sortino. Hasilnya menunjukan bahwa kinerja portofolio model CMV lebih baik dibandingkan model portofolio MAD.

Published: May 2021

Abstract
The study on the performance of areal density of web, needle punching density, and needle depth of penetration, particularly, the combination of glass and ceramic fiber nonwoven fabrics over the mechanical, thermal, and filtration properties were studied with the Box-Behnken experimental design. For the requirement of filtration behavior, three sets of samples with varying glass fiber areal densities of 250, 300, and 350g/m2 were taken and added with ceramic fibers to achieve sandwich-blend nonwoven materials of 60/40, 50/50, and 40/60 ratios. Then, the processing variables were taken as needle punch density and needle depth of penetration, and three optimized samples were predicted using the Box-Behnken experimental design based on the filtration efficiency of the exhaust along with their mechanical and thermal properties. It is also found that there was significant influence on the properties by the variables taken for the product development for the filters. It was found that there was a significant increase in the tensile properties in the optimized samples, and it was found that the results taken for the optimization process were unaltered.

AbstractParkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that is typically diagnosed late in its progression. There is a need for biomarkers suitable for monitoring the disease progression at earlier stages to guide the development of novel neuroprotective therapies. One potential biomarker, α-synuclein, has been found in both the familial cases of PD, as well as the sporadic cases and is considered a key feature of PD. α-synuclein is naturally present in the retina, and it has been suggested that early symptoms of the visual system may be used as a biomarker for PD. Here, we use a viral vector to induce a unilateral expression of human wild-type α-synuclein in rats as a mechanistic model of protein aggregation in PD. We employed functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate whether adeno-associated virus (AAV) mediated expression of human wild-type α-synuclein alter functional activity in the visual system. A total of 16 rats were injected with either AAV-α-synuclein (n = 7) or AAV-null (n = 9) in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) of the left hemisphere. The expression of α-synuclein was validated by a motor assay and postmortem immunohistochemistry. Five months after the introduction of the AAV-vector, fMRI showed robust blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) responses to light stimulation in the visual systems of both control and AAV-α-synuclein animals. However, our results demonstrate that the expression of AAV-α-synuclein does not affect functional activation of the visual system. This negative finding suggests that fMRI-based read-outs of visual responses may not be a sensitive biomarker for PD.
Neuron Replating, a Powerful and Versatile Approach to Study Early Aspects of Neuron Differentiation
Authors: Schneider Felix , Duong Thuy-An , Rust Marco B. 
Published: May 2021

AbstractNeuron differentiation includes formation and outgrowth of neurites that differentiate into axons or dendrites. Directed neurite outgrowth is controlled by growth cones that protrude and retract actin-rich structures to sense environmental cues. These cues control local actin filament dynamics, steer growth cones toward attractants and away from repellents, and navigate neurites through the developing brain. Rodent hippocampal neurons are widely used to study the mechanisms underlying neuron differentiation. Genetic manipulation of isolated neurons including gene inactivation or reporter gene expression can be achieved by classical transfections methods, but these methods are restricted to neurons cultured for several days, after neurite formation or outgrowth. Instead, electroporation allows gene manipulation before seeding. However, reporter gene expression usually takes up to 24 h, and time course of gene inactivation depends on the half live of the targeted mRNA and gene product. Hence, these methods do not allow to study early aspects of neuron differentiation. In the present study, we provide a detailed protocol in which we combined electroporation-based gene manipulation of mouse hippocampal neurons before initial seeding with a replating step after 2 din vitro(DIV) that resets neurons into an undifferentiated stage. By categorizing neurons according to their differentiation stage, thorough morphometric analyses, live imaging of actin dynamics in growth cones as well as guidance cue-mediated growth cone morphologic changes, we demonstrate that differentiation and function of replated neurons did not differ from non-replated neurons. In summary, we provide a protocol that allows to thoroughly characterize differentiation of mouse primary hippocampal neurons.
Sounding the Grind
Authors: Armstrong Stephen 
Published: May 2021

Battles in Japanese role-playing games (JRPGs) present special problems for game immersion because of their sheer ubiquity and repetitiveness. This is particularly true of games that require the player to “grind”—that is, to engage in repetitive fights in order to level-up characters and thereby gain tactical advantages later. This paper argues that battle music is first and foremost a variety of functional music, a genre that fans measure not by its sonic beauty but by its psychological effectiveness. This point leads directly to a number of pressing questions: How do battle themes function? How do these functions relate to the all-important concerns of immersion and interactivity? How do we evaluate the effectiveness of battle music? And finally, what would a preliminary theory of battle music composition look like?
This article examines how the grind of JRPG fighting manifests as an integral part of battle music composition, analyzing three standard conventions in detail: (1) a clear opening audiovisual rupture, (2) a fanfare as cadence, and (3) a sustained period of harmonic stasis underpinning busy surface textures. This last phenomenon creates a sense of “musicospatial stasis”—that is, a musically induced sense of stasis that intermingles with and projects itself onto the visual and narrative fields. Because the repetitive grind of JRPG battles interrupts movement through the overworld, battle themes should be understood as ruptures in the sonic environment, just as the battle stage is a spatial rupture in the overworld. Battle themes therefore make little sense as analytical objects out of context: by definition, they signal a break that impedes the player’s movement throughout a larger environment.
Voices, Combat, and Music
Authors: Smith Jennifer 
Published: May 2021

Role-playing video games can highlight a sense of player identification with a pre-made player-character through the inclusion of the voice; this can include diegetic character dialogue, the non-diegetic sung voice, and voice-overs. Ensuring that the player can connect with their player-character on an individual level is key to forming a suspension of disbelief and immersion with a game.
Final Fantasy XV emphasizes collaboration between the player, player-characters, and non-playable characters during combat, cutscenes, and exploration. This camaraderie effect actively engages the player with multiple characters through the constant use of the diegetic spoken voice to communicate between the player-character, Noctis, and the three other character identities, Prompto, Ignis, and Gladiolus. The game’s opening rendition of Ben E. King’s “Stand by Me,” performed by Florence + the Machine, provides the player with four narrative themes that are present throughout the game. These themes include a coming-of-age story, character relationships, and the development of a greater evil within the narrative. Unique in its position as a pre-composed song, “Stand by Me” plants the idea that the player will not be alone in their journey, as character allies will stand by Noctis, from the beginning of the game.
Final Fantasy XV uses vocalizations in both the diegetic and non-diegetic audio space in order to reflect the characteristics of the playable characters. The vocal relationship between the player’s characters provides directional feedback and information for the player within combat, alongside foretelling the stories of certain characters.

The conceptual bases of artificial intelligence, expert systems and knowledge engineering, and management are a fundamental point in the digital transformation of education. From this, fuzzy logic, as an expert system, is the pillar of our model based on matrices that are self#filled from the perspectives of experts and the guidelines of the Ministry of Education arranged in their matrices (qualitative systems). This allows migrating to quantitative data from rules of inference (quantitative systems). This model digitizes the curriculum framework and institutional management, that is, knowledge and data. This digital architecture is supported by university financing systems, research, entrepreneurship, digital talent, social projection, teaching, students, among others. All these elements generate the target matrices, which generate data that support the high-quality elements required by the Ministry of Education.
