Abstract

Light plays a crucial role in several physiological processes in plants, ranging from photosynthesis to the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites such as carotenoids. The emergence of Light-Emitting Diode (LED) technology, has granted researchers unprecedented control over light quality and intensity, enabling detailed research into its effects on plant growth, development, flowering, and secondary metabolite accumulation, such as carotenoids. Carotenoids, vital pigments in plant physiology, serve for pollinator attraction, photoprotective molecules, and precursors for vitamin A biosynthesis. Carrots (Daucus carota) known for their high carotenoid levels provide an excellent model for studying the impact of light on carotenoid biosynthesis and taproot development. In a comprehensive study exploring the effects of different light conditions on carrot storage root development and carotenoid content, we employed three lighting regimes: fluorescent light (F) with a high green light content, LED light with a spectrum enriched in blue and red wavelengths (NS12), and LED light with a higher content in Red and Far-Red light and with the highest light intensity (AP67). Our findings revealed that NS12 and AP67 induce an early development of secondary root growth due to carrot storage roots exhibiting wider and heavier storage roots compared to those grown under F light. Together, these findings correlate with an enhancement in carbon fixation, as evidenced by the improved levels of sucrose and starch under LED lighting. Despite these differences, there were no observable variations in carotenoid content. However, there was an induction of DcPSY1 and DcPSY2 expression in 8 weeks old storage roots of plants grown under LED lights. Taken together, the quality and intensity of aboveground light in which the carrot is grown significantly affects the development of the storage root but not on carotenoid content. These findings underscore the profound influence of light quality on underground organs and highlight the potential of LED technology to optimize crop production by promoting favourable traits in storage organs.
Far Out! – the effects of far-red light on Cannabis

Published: July 2024

Abstract

Far-red (FR) light elicits two distinct processes in plants. First, a shade avoidance response which is triggered when the ratio of red to FR (R:RF) declines. Second, the Emerson effect in which the efficiency of photosynthesis is improved by the combination of FR and R light. We investigated whether we could harness these phenomena in medicinal Cannabis to improve yields so that the duration of the photoperiod could be reduced to 10 hours (“10L”) whilst returning similar or improved yields compared to a 12 hour photoperiod (“12L”). The THC concentrations were elevated in both high THC varieties by the different FR treatments. In Hindu Kush the concentration of THC was elevated by the addition of 4 hours of total FR (“10L_2_2D”), and in Northern Lights total cannabinoid yields were increased by nearly 70% over the 12L control by the addition of 2 hours of FR in darkness after 10 hours of light (“10L_2D”). Our results show a strong yield and quality advantage in high THC lines treated with end-of-day FR treatments. Furthermore, a lighting schedule of 10L_2D instead of 12L would result in a saving of 5.5% in power usage and resultant emissions.

Abstract

The rapid growth of IoT devices and the increasing demand for device interaction between different network partitions have significantly pressured IoT device management. To realize cross-domain trust integration between different partitioned devices, trust management becomes the key technology to realize cross-domain communication. However, trust management heavily relies on third-party entities, posing centralized risks. Therefore, we propose an IoT device trust management system based on federated learning and blockchain. By utilizing federated learning to assess device reputation ratings while safeguarding their privacy, the system stores reputation assessment results on the blockchain for authenticity and accuracy. The system’s decentralization is achieved using blockchain instead of a central server in federated learning. Additionally, we introduce a weighted aggre-gation model based on device attributes to obtain a more precise global model through weighted aggregation of local models in federated learning. Experimental results using a simulated dataset reflecting device characteristics demonstrate a device evaluation accuracy of 90.2%, validating the system’s effectiveness and feasibility.

Abstract

Salt-tolerant bacteria associated with halophytes enhance plant resistance to environmental stress and promote plant growth through their metabolic activities. The current study explored the diversity and potential of bacteria associated with three halophytes from the salt-affected land of Wujiaqu, Xinjiang, China. The cultivable bactria were isolated from Salicornia europaea L., Kalidium foliatum (Pall.) Moq., and Suaeda aralocaspica, by using the culture-dependent method. The isolated bacteria were classified based on the differences between their 16S rRNA gene sequences and screened for plant growth-promoting traits. Our findings showed that the bacteria isolated from selected plants’ parts (roots and shoots) and soil (rhizosphere and bulk) belonged to 567 strains, four phyla, six classes, 25 orders, 36 families, and 66 genera. This study revealed that the tested strains could possess one or more plant beneficial traits. Among them, 20 strains representing Bacillus, Streptomyces, Isoptericola, and Nocardiopsis species exhibited several plant growth-promoting activities in vitro, including phosphate-solubilization, nitrogen fixation, siderophore production, cell wall degrading enzymes such as protease, and cellulase. Our findings demonstrated that halophytes are a source of plant-beneficial bacteria, which may adapt to various conditions and enhance plant development and fitness in challenging environmental situations.

Published: July 2024

Abstract

Cooperative jamming effectiveness evaluation is a key component in completing the cooperative jamming OODA loop. For the problem of evaluating the effectiveness of cooperative jamming to group network radar by formation aircraft, a cooperative jamming effectiveness evaluation method based on Improved Particle Swarm Optimization- Extreme Learning Machine (IPSO-ELM) is proposed. Firstly, based on the working parameters of the group network radar and the information fusion rules, the cooperative jamming effectiveness evaluation function is established. On this basis, the cooperative jamming decision schemes and their corresponding cooperative jamming effectiveness values are solved at different locations in the target space, and the results are detected as outliers using box plots, thus constructing sample data for cooperative jamming effectiveness evaluation. Subsequently, a neural network based on Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) methodology is developed, with its initial weights and biases fine-tuned through an improved particle swarm optimization, which is termed IPSO-ELM. This optimization aims to boost the model’s predictive precision. Finally, the IPSO-ELM algorithm is subjected to rigorous assessment via simulation, confirming its performance of accuracy and efficiency. From the simulation results, the advanced performance of the IPSO-ELM algorithm, specifically in the context of assessing the effectiveness of cooperative jamming is verified.

Abstract

The impact of climate change and urbanization has increased the risk of flooding. During the UN Climate Change Conference 28 (COP 28), an agreement was reached to establish "The Loss and Damage Fund" with the specific purpose of providing assistance to low-income countries impacted by climate change. However, allocating the resources required for post-flood reconstruction and reimbursement is a challenging task due to the limited availability of data and the absence of a comprehensive tool. Here, we propose a novel resource allocation framework based on remote sensing and geospatial data, such as buildings and population, near the flood peak. The quantification of resource distribution utilizes an exposure index for each municipality, which interacts with various drivers, including flood hazard drivers, buildings exposure, and population exposure. The proposed framework assesses the flood map using images derived from pre- and post-flood Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data for flood extent and Sentinel-2 optical images for ground truth. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this framework, an analysis was conducted on the flood that occurred in the Thessaly region of Greece in September 2023. The analysis revealed that the municipality of Palamas has the highest need for resource allocation, with an exposure index rating of 6/6. This framework can be used by any government for rapid decision-making and to expedite post-flood recovery.

Abstract

Background
The impact of long-term, nurse-led, integrated cardiovascular risk management in primary care on cardiovascular disease incidence has not been previously investigated.
Methods
We compared cardiovascular disease incidence between 2013 and 2019 in 16,723 high-risk patients without established cardiovascular disease or diabetes receiving integrated cardiovascular risk management and extensive care group support (PoZoB) with 34,072 similar patients receiving a mixture of usual care and integrated care without any support (JGPN). In both patient groups, we estimated the incidence of acute myocardial infarction, transient ischemic attack, stroke, peripheral artery disease and abdominal aortic aneurysm.
Results
The incidence (per 1000 person-years) of a first event for patients aged 45 to 84 years in PoZoB was 17.5 [95% CI 16.2–18.9] for men and 13.6 [12.6–14.7] for women. The corresponding JGPN results were 22.2 [21.1–23.3] for men and 15.8 [15.0-16.7] for women. The event-specific incidence rates (PoZoB versus JGPN) for acute myocardial infarction were 3.7 vs 6.1 (men) and 2.0 vs 2.4 (women); those for transient ischemic attack were 4.5 vs 5.3 (men) and 4.6 vs 4.5 (women); those for stroke were 5.0 vs 6.1 (men) and 3.8 vs 5.3 (women); those for peripheral artery disease were 2.6 vs 3.0 (men) and 2.0 vs 2.0 (women); and those for abdominal aortic aneurysm were 2.3 vs 1.9 (men) and 1.0 vs 0.8 (women).
Conclusion
The results are compatible with a lower incidence of cardiovascular disease in women and men exposed to long-term integrated cardiovascular risk management. The magnitude of the relation could not be assessed due to unsolvable incomparability between the cohorts due to the nature of routine data collection in primary care.
Efficient positioning of QTL and Secondary Limit thresholds in a clinical trial risk-based monitoring
Authors: Shnaydman Vladimir 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

In the high-stakes world of clinical trials, where a company's multimillion-dollar drug development investment is at risk, the increasing complexity of these trials only compounds the challenges. Therefore, the development of a robust risk mitigation strategy, as a crucial component of comprehensive risk planning, is not just important but essential for effective drug development, particularly in the RBQM ecosystem. This emphasis on the urgency and significance of risk mitigation strategy can help the audience understand the gravity of the topic. The paper introduces a novel framework for deriving an efficient risk mitigation strategy at the planning stage of a clinical trial and establishing operational rules (thresholds). This approach combines optimization and simulation models, offering a fresh perspective on risk management in clinical trials. The optimization model aims to derive an efficient contingency budget and allocate limited mitigation resources across mitigated risks. The simulation model aims to efficiently position the QTL/KRI and Secondary Limit thresholds for each risk to be aligned with risk assessment and contingency resources. A compelling case study vividly illustrates the proposed technique's practical application and effectiveness. This real-world example demonstrates the framework's potential and instills confidence in its successful implementation, reassuring the audience of its practicality and usefulness.

Abstract

Background: Organic anion-transporting polypeptides (OATPs) are responsible for the cellular uptake of a broad range of endogenous compounds and xenobiotics in multiple tissues. The aim of our study was to determine whether variations in OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 affect the side effects experienced by hepatitis C patients treated with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs).
Methods: This study included 199 hepatitis C patients treated with DAAs. ledipasvir (LDV)/sofosbuvir (SOF) or ombitasvir (OBV)/paritaprevir (PTV)/ritonavir (RTV)+/-dasabuvir (DSV) (PrOD) and 162 control individuals without hepatitis C. Treatment-related side effects were recorded. The OATP1B1 gene variations c.388A>G and c.521T>C and the OATP1B3 gene variations c.334T>G and c.699G>A were analyzed via the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method.
Results: Side effects were observed in 53 (26.6%) of 199 hepatitis C patients. There were skin lesions in 19 patients (9.5%), fatigue in 18 patients (9%), pruritus in 11 patients (5.5%), and nausea in 5 patients (2.5%). There was a significant relationship between the c.334T>G variant and side effects (p=0.001 for all). A significant relationship was found between the OATP1B1 c.521T/c.388A allele and between the OATP1B3 c.699A/c.334T allele and side effects (p=0.010, p=0.042, respectively). The frequency distribution of the c.334T>G variant was in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. The frequencies of the patient group and the control group were 65.3% and 63%, respectively.
Conclusion: We found a relationship between the c.334T>G variant in OATP1B3 and DAA-related side effects in hepatitis C patients.

Published: July 2024

Carson McCullers writes about lonely people, and the themes of loneliness, isolation and alienation run through all of her work and are engraved in all aspects of her personal life. In one of her novels, there is a heroine called Amelia. Her house undergoes a series of changes, from a store to a café and to a closed mansion. At the same time, Amelia's power also changes as the space changes. This dynamic relationship of power is in part consistent with Foucault's theory of power. Therefore, this paper attempts to link space and power and further analyze the reasons behind Amelia's final tragedy.
