AbstractUnder laboratory conditions we have investigated the effect of the application of pro-ecological procedures (effective microorganisms and biostimulant Asahi SL) and plant injury on the production of free phenolic acids in winter wheat and on the feeding and development of Oulema melanopus. Wheat plants before reaching the BBCH 32 stage (the beginning of stem elongation) were treated with effective microorganisms and the biostimulant Asahi SL. Then, for 2 days, some of the plants were injured by O. melanopus and some were uninjured. The influence of factors was investigated in conditions under which the cereal leaf beetle had the possibility to choose their food (no-choice test or choice test). It was found that wheat plants produce on average 0.172% DM of free phenolic acids. It has been shown that O. melanopus males and females preferred wheat previously uninjured. Also, irrespective of whether the plants were previously injured or uninjured, the females of that pest species always that caused areally more extensive leaf losses than the males. Treating plants with effective microorganisms and biostimulant Asahi SL is a secondary factor, as compared to previous wheat injury. Additionally, in choice tests, both males and females O. melanopus much preferred feeding on plants unprovided with preparations, whereas in no-choice tests, the application of pro-ecological procedures does not reduce egg laying by pests, does not adversely affect embryogenesis length and does not reduce hatching L1.
Stable intersections of conformal Cantor sets
Authors: ARAÚJO HUGO , MOREIRA CARLOS GUSTAVO 
Published: October 2021

AbstractWe investigate stable intersections of conformal Cantor sets and their consequences to dynamical systems. First we define this type of Cantor set and relate it to horseshoes appearing in automorphisms of
$\mathbb {C}^2$
. Then we study limit geometries, that is, objects related to the asymptotic shape of the Cantor sets, to obtain a criterion that guarantees stable intersection between some configurations. Finally, we show that the Buzzard construction of a Newhouse region on
$\mathrm{Aut}(\mathbb {C}^2)$
can be seen as a case of stable intersection of Cantor sets in our sense and give some (not optimal) estimate on how ‘thick’ those sets have to be.
Pass Fe WhiteandHomestretch: Joan Miller's Satirical “Reads,” Refusals, and Affirmations
Authors: Wells Charmian 
Published: October 2021

AbstractThis article examines Joan Miller's use of choreographic citation in her solos,Pass Fe White(1970) andHomestretch(1973). The solos “read” the desire to embody idealized, feminine whiteness in a critique of institutions for accessing national belonging—celebrity, education, and marriage—satirically exposing the gendered and racialized exclusions of the figure of the abstract “human” as “proper” citizen. Miller's work performs queer, Black feminist, diasporic desires for a world beyond Black and white nationalist logics, refusing to be “properly” placed in national hierarchies of female objecthood, while affirming the capacity to desire differently by proposing alternative terms for belonging in the world.

AbstractObjective:To investigate the association between serum vitamin D (25-hydroxy-cholecalciferol) (25(OH)D) concentrations and cognitive impairment in older adults living in Southern Brazil.Design:Cross-sectional analysis using data from the second follow-up wave of the populational-based EpiFloripa Aging Cohort Study was collected in 2013–2014.Setting:Cognitive impairment was evaluated using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Blood samples were collected to measure serum vitamin D concentrations using a chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay. Vitamin D concentrations were distributed in quartiles (Q1: 4·0–20·7 ng/ml; Q2: 20·8–26·6 ng/ml; Q3: 26·7–32·0 ng/ml and Q4: 32·1–60·1 ng/ml), and its association with cognitive impairment was tested by crude and adjusted logistic regression (sociodemographic, behavioural and health aspects) using Q4 as a reference group.Participants:200 men and 371 women aged 60 years or older participated in this study.Results:The prevalence of probable cognitive impairment was 21·7 %. Those without cognitive impairment had a higher mean of vitamin D serum concentrations (26·8 v. 24·6, P = 0·014). In the crude analysis, only individuals in Q2 of vitamin D presented an increased risk for probable cognitive impairment compared with Q4 (highest quartile) (OR 2·65, 95 % CI 1·46, 4·81), remaining significant in the adjusted analysis (OR 6·04, 95 % CI 2·78, 13·13). While Q1 (lowest quartile) was not associated in the crude analysis, but when adjusted, an increased risk of cognitive impairment was observed.Conclusion:The lowest quartile of vitamin D was directly associated with probable cognitive impairment in older adults in Southern Brazil. More studies are needed to investigate whether maintaining adequate serum levels may represent a significant factor in preventing age-related neurological disorders as well as to verify the need for new cutoff points for this age group.

AbstractCompound weather and climate events are combinations of climate drivers and/or hazards that contribute to societal or environmental risk. Studying compound events often requires a multidisciplinary approach combining domain knowledge of the underlying processes with, for example, statistical methods and climate model outputs. Recently, to aid the development of research on compound events, four compound event types were introduced, namely (a) preconditioned, (b) multivariate, (c) temporally compounding, and (d) spatially compounding events. However, guidelines on how to study these types of events are still lacking. Here, we consider four case studies, each associated with a specific event type and a research question, to illustrate how the key elements of compound events (e.g., analytical tools and relevant physical effects) can be identified. These case studies show that (a) impacts on crops from hot and dry summers can be exacerbated by preconditioning effects of dry and bright springs. (b) Assessing compound coastal flooding in Perth (Australia) requires considering the dynamics of a non‐stationary multivariate process. For instance, future mean sea‐level rise will lead to the emergence of concurrent coastal and fluvial extremes, enhancing compound flooding risk. (c) In Portugal, deep‐landslides are often caused by temporal clusters of moderate precipitation events. Finally, (d) crop yield failures in France and Germany are strongly correlated, threatening European food security through spatially compounding effects. These analyses allow for identifying general recommendations for studying compound events. Overall, our insights can serve as a blueprint for compound event analysis across disciplines and sectors.

AbstractThe reception properties of the Radio Wave Instrument (RWI) onboard JUICE (Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer) have been determined using numerical methods applied to a mesh‐grid model of the spacecraft. The RWI is part of the RPWI (Radio and Plasma Wave Investigation) and consists of three perpendicular dipoles mounted on a long boom. We determined their effective lengths vectors and capacitive impedances of 8–9 pF. We also investigated the change in effective antenna angles as a function of solar panel rotation and calculated the directivity of the antennas at higher frequencies up to the maximum frequency of 45 MHz of the receiver. We found that the RWI dipoles can be used for direction‐finding with an accuracy of up to a frequency of 1.5 MHz. Additionally we calculated the influence of strong pulses from the JUICE active radar on RPWI and found that they should do no harm to its sensors and receivers.

Abstract
Background
A scientific framework on exposure science will boost the multiuse of exposure knowledge across EU chemicals-related policies and improve risk assessment, risk management and communication across EU safety, security and sustainability domains.

Objective
To stimulate public and private actors to align and strengthen the cross-policy adoption of exposure assessment data, methods and tools across EU legislation.

Methods
By mapping and analysing the EU regulatory landscape making use of exposure information, policy and research challenges and key areas of action are identified and translated into opportunities enhancing policy and scientific efficiency.

Results
Identified key areas of actions are to develop a common scientific exposure assessment framework, supported by baseline acceptance criteria and a shared knowledge base enhancing exchangeability and acceptability of exposure knowledge within and across EU chemicals-related policies. Furthermore, such framework will improve communication and management across EU chemical safety, security and sustainability policies comprising sourcing, manufacturing and global trade of goods and waste management. In support of building such a common framework and its effective use in policy and industry, exposure science innovation needs to be better embedded along the whole policymaking cycle, and be integrated into companies’ safety and sustainability management systems. This will help to systemically improve regulatory risk management practices.

Significance
This paper constitutes an important step towards the implementation of the EU Green Deal and its underlying policy strategies, such as the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability.
Analysis of Il36a induction by C/EBPβ via a half-CRE•C/EBP element in murine macrophages in dependence of its CpG methylation level
Authors: Nerlich Andreas , Janze Nina , Goethe Ralph 
Published: October 2021

AbstractInterleukin-36α is a novel member of the IL-1 cytokine family that is highly expressed in epithelial tissues and several myeloid-derived cell types after induction. The transcription factor (TF) C/EBPβ binds specifically to an essential half-CRE•C/EBP motif in the Il36a promoter to induce Il36a expression upon LPS stimulation. C/EBPs regulate gene expression by binding to recognition sequences that can contain 5′-cytosine-phosphate-guanine-3′ dinucleotides (CpG), whose methylation can influence TF binding and gene expression. Herein we show that the half-CRE•C/EBP element in the Il36a promoter is differentially methylated in the murine RAW264.7 macrophage cell line and in primary murine macrophages. We demonstrate that C/EBPβ binding to the half-CRE•C/EBP element in the Il36a promoter following LPS stimulation is insensitive to CpG methylation and that methylation of the CpG in the half-CRE•C/EBP element does not alter LPS-induced Il36a promoter activity which correlated with similar Il36a mRNA copy numbers and pro-IL-36α protein amount in both cell types. Taken together, our data indicate that C/EBPβ binding to the half-CRE•C/EBP element and subsequent gene activation occurs independently of the CpG methylation status of the half-CRE•C/EBP motif and underlines the potential of C/EBPs to recognize methylated as well as unmethylated motifs.
A unidirectional frequency beam‐scanning antenna using composite slow‐wave waveguide based on substrate integrated waveguide and spoof surface plasmon polariton structure

Published: October 2021

AbstractIn this study, a novel frequency beam‐scanning (FBS) antenna based on composite substrate integrated waveguide/spoof surface plasmon polariton (SIW/SSPP) waveguide is proposed. The composite SIW/SSPP slow‐wave waveguide is designed by embedding a series of periodic subwavelength H‐shaped grooves on the top surface of the SIW. Its transmission characteristics own both the features from SIW and SSPP, and can be flexibly mansplained by tuning the key structural parameters. To convert the propagating composite slow‐wave mode into the radiation mode effectively, a new flexible digital modulation method with staggered metallic vias is proposed and used. The presented beam‐scanning antenna has a simple feeding structure, a single dielectric layer, and a compact volume of 0.75 × 8.55 × 0.015 λ03. A prototype of the antenna is fabricated and tested to verify its performance. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed antenna can realise a continuous beam‐scanning angle of 49° in an operating bandwidth of 8.7–9.2 GHz with a high frequency‐scanning sensitivity (FSS) of 9.8 °/100 MHz−1. Moreover, the measured results indicate that the antenna has high peak gain with an average level of 12.7 dBi, high radiation efficiency with an average level of 87%, and stable unidirectional radiation pattern in the working band.

Published: October 2021

AbstractPatients with a tumour-risk syndrome have a significantly increased risk of developing cancer during their lifetime. A positive family history of tumour disease or an unusually early age of onset may be indicative of a tumour risk syndrome. With the diagnosis of a tumour risk syndrome it is possible to recommend a risk-adapted tumour surveillance programme for the patient and (asymptomatic) family members at risk. This facilitates early detection of possible tumours and thus often prevents advanced tumour stages. Li-Fraumeni syndrome is associated with a significantly increased risk of sarcoma and breast cancer in particular, but it is often not diagnosed clinically in those affected. This article reviews the clinical picture, genetic cause and special aspects in the diagnosis and care of patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome. The initiative resulted from the European reference network GENTURIS, which has set itself the task of improving the identification and care of
patients with tumour risk syndromes. A first step is the recent publication of a European guideline for Li-Fraumeni syndrome, which is summarised here and discussed in the context of existing recommendations.
Alkylation Reactions with Alkylsulfonium Salts

Published: October 2021

AbstractThe application of alkylsulfonium salts as alkyl-transfer reagents in organic synthesis has reemerged over the past few years. Numerous heteroatom- and carbon-centered nucleophiles, alkenes, arenes, alkynes, organometallic reagents, and others are readily alkylated by alkylsulfonium salts under mild conditions. The reactions feature convenience, high efficiency, readily accessible and structurally diversified alkylation reagents, good functional group tolerance, and a wide range of substrate types, allowing the facile synthesis of various useful organic molecules from commercially available building blocks. This review summarizes alkylation reactions using either isolated or in situ formed alkylsulfonium salts via nucleophilic substitution, transition-metal-catalyzed reactions, and photoredox processes.1	Introduction2	General Methods for the Synthesis of Alkylsulfonium Salts3	Electrophilic Alkylation Using Alkylsulfonium Salts4	Transition-Metal-Catalyzed Alkylation Using Alkylsulfonium Salts5	Photoredox-Catalyzed Alkylation Using Alkylsulfonium Salts6	Conclusion
IPM reduces insecticide applications by 95% while maintaining or enhancing crop yields through wild pollinator conservation
Authors: Pecenka Jacob R. , Ingwell Laura L. , Foster Rick E. , Krupke Christian H. , Kaplan Ian 
Published: October 2021

Significance
Environmental damage from insecticide overuse is a major concern, particularly for conservation of “good” insects such as pollinators that ensure stable production of food crops like fruits and vegetables. However, insecticides are also necessary for farmers to manage “bad” insects (i.e., pests), and thus, a more holistic view of crop management needs to account for the proper balance between the beneficial and detrimental aspects of pesticides. Here, we used multiyear field experiments with a paired corn–watermelon cropping system to show that insecticide use can be dramatically reduced (by ∼95%) while maintaining or even increasing yields through the conservation of wild bees as crop pollinators. These data demonstrate that food production and ecosystem sustainability are not necessarily conflicting goals.

Published: October 2021

Abstract
Objective: The quality and work-life of ball bearings depend on the material properties of the steel ball, hence it is necessary to carefully classify their properties for bearings and related applications. This paper presents the classification of steel balls based on the subtle differences in their electromagnetic properties. Approach: The conductivity and magnetic susceptibility for steel balls of the same kind are measured to investigate their correlation with eddy-current (EC) signals. Main results: The developed EC sensor works at the resonant frequency of 117 kHz with an optimal readout resistance of 15 kΩ, which helps to boost the signal level without a high-gain preamplifier. To detect the EC signal, the steel ball under test moves through the pickup coil, and the recorded data are used to build a voltage probability map (VPM) for the classification of the steel ball properties. Experimental results show that the steel balls with and without the hardening process can be identified by the change in the amplitude and phase of the EC signal, which is consistent with the observed change in the electromagnetic properties of steel balls. Significance: The built system can be applied to the related industries to check the quality of steel balls before use.

Abstract
Understanding tokamak exhaust-power heat loads on divertor plates depends critically on having a realistic model of the scrape-off layer (SOL) plasma. The Braginskii fluid model is often solved to understand the SOL plasma behavior. This model is based on the collisional limit for transport along the magnetic field

B

. The ions and electron gyrofrequencies are assumed to be much larger than the Coulomb collision frequencies, which are nonetheless, sufficiently large to yield common parallel and perpendicular temperatures for each species, i.e. the temperatures are assumed to be isotropic. In certain circumstances such as encountered for the tokamak H-mode, the ion temperature can be quite anisotropic. In this work, the anisotropy effects are implemented in the two-dimensional (2D) transport code UEDGE. Various geometries (1D slab, 2D slab and a toroidal tokamak geometry) are used to study the 2D structure of ion temperature anisotropy and its effects on plasma transport in detail. Results show that the effects of ion temperature anisotropy on the plasma parallel transport are substantial near the magnetic X-point, which leads to different steady state density profiles in the divertor regions. The extra mirror force introduced by ion temperature anisotropy can be one of the main forces contributing to the plasma flow in the SOL.
Influence of external parameters on RF inductive discharge plasma characteristics

Abstract
Systematic experimental studies of the electron density and temperature, the efficiency of RF power coupling to the RF inductive discharge plasma have been carried out in the pressure range of helium, neon, argon, and krypton 0.1–133 Pa, at an RF generator power of 100–500 W and frequencies of 2, 4 and 13.56 MHz. It is shown that the electron density reaches a maximum, and the temperature reaches a minimum in the pressure range 1.33–13.3 Pa. Taking into account the presence of a parasitic capacitive coupling between the inductor and the plasma, which forms the capacitive channel of RF power input, makes it possible to conclude that the maximum values of the electron density were observed at the pressure at which the power input through the inductive channel is maximal. At pressures of the order of 0.133 Pa and below, an increase in the electron temperature is observed in the peripheral part of the discharge. Numerical modeling by the PIC method shows that one of the reasons is the formation of a directed azimuthal motion of electrons in the region of the skin layer. As the pressure increases, a transition occurs from the nonlocal to the local electron kinetics, which is reflected in the ratio between the electron temperature in the peripheral and central parts of the discharge.

AbstractWe present measurements of more than 80 magnetic Feshbach resonances in collisions of ultracold23Na40K with40K. We assign quantum numbers to a group of low-field resonances and show that they are probably due to long-range states of the triatomic complex in which the quantum numbers of the separated atom and molecule are approximately preserved. The resonant states are not members of chaotic bath of short-range states. Similar resonances are expected to be a common feature of alkali-metal diatom + atom systems.
