IntroductionWhile the integrated rice-crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) farming system (IRCFS) is widely developing in China, the widespread use of Unmanned Aerial Spraying Systems (UASS) to protect rice from pests has led to potential pesticide risk for the crayfish in IRCFS. Therefore, it is crucial to examine UASS’s spray deposition and drift in IRCFS.MethodIn this study, we used the oligonucleotide sequence-tracking / dot-blotting (OSTDB) method to trace pesticide spraying. We collected detailed data not only on spray loss in the paddy fields, but also on spray drift in the breeding ditches caused by upwind and downwind spray areas. Additionally, pesticide residues in the breeding ditches were measured using LC-MS/MS by collecting water samples after pesticide application.ResultsThe data analysis indicated that the spray loss in the paddy field was significantly greater than that in the breeding ditches. The spray drift in the breeding ditches, caused by the upwind spray area, was seven times higher than that originating from the downwind spray area. Furthermore, the results also revealed that the bulk flow between the paddy fields and the breeding ditches contributed a substantial amount of pesticide residue to the water body in the breeding ditches. In addition, we investigated the acute toxicities of common insecticides using in paddy fields, including thiamethoxam (THI), chlorantraniliprole (CHI), THI·CHI-Mix and THI·CHI-WG.DiscussionThe results demonstrated that the spray losses and spray drift from UASS spray applications of these pesticides in IRCFS would not cause acute toxicity or death in crayfish. These findings provide important materials for establishing pesticide application standards and guiding the field testing of droplet deposition and drift in IRCFS.

IntroductionRecent neurosurgical applications based on artificial intelligence (AI) have demonstrated its potential in surgical planning and anatomical measurement. We aimed to evaluate the performance of an AI planning software application on screw length/diameter selection and insertion accuracy in comparison with freehand surgery.MethodsA total of 45 patients with 208 pedicle screw placements on thoracolumbar segments were included in this analysis. The novel AI planning software was developed based on a deep learning model. AI-based pedicle screw placements were selected on the basis of preoperative computed tomography (CT) data, and freehand surgery screw placements were observed based on postoperative CT data. The performance of AI pedicle screw placements was evaluated on the components of screw length, diameter, and Gertzbein grade in comparison with the results achieved by freehand surgery.ResultsAmong 208 pedicle screw placements, the average screw length/diameters selected by the AI model and used in freehand surgery were 48.65 ± 5.99 mm/7.39 ± 0.42 mm and 44.78 ± 2.99 mm/6.1 ± 0.27 mm, respectively. Among AI screw placements, 85.1% were classified as Gertzbein Grade A (no cortical pedicle breach); among free-hand surgery placements, 64.9% were classified as Gertzbein Grade A.ConclusionThe novel AI planning software application could provide an accessible and safe pedicle screw placement strategy in comparison with traditional freehand pedicle screw placement strategies. The choices of pedicle screw dimensional parameters made by the model, including length and diameter, may provide potential inspiration for real clinical discretion.

The aim of this paper was to explore the remediation effect and mechanism of Wetland pine (Pinus elliottii), Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook), and Alder (Alnus cremastogyne Burkill) on heavy metal contaminated soil in the iron tailings of Jiulong Iron Tailings Area. At the same time, the specificity of plant rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soil microbial community structure and ecological function were analyzed based on macrogenomic sequencing. The results showed that the dominant microbial genera in J1 (control) was Acidobacteria, followed by Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria. The microbial genera with the highest percentage of relative abundance in J2, J3, J4, J5, and J6 (J2, Wetland Pine rhizosphere; J3, Wetland Pine non-rhizosphere; J4, Chinese fir rhizosphere; J5, Alder rhizosphere; J6, Alder non-rhizosphere) were Proteobacteria, followed by Acidobacteria, and Actinobacteria. It was found that Proteobacteria promoted heavy metal solubilization, activated heavy metals, and converted their forms to improve plant uptake of heavy metals. This proves that the microorganisms of Proteobacteria are the key microbial genera in the study of regional heavy metal remediation. The antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in microorganisms can respond to the inducement of heavy metals. Here, we investigated the relationship between the abundance of soil microorganisms ARGs and heavy metal pollution in Jiulong Iron Tailings Area. There are significant differences in the quantity and category of ARGs in the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soil samples of the three tree species. The results of this study provide the foundation for the theory and practice of remediation of heavy metal contamination in soils of iron tailing areas in Jiulong Iron Tailings Area in similar stand conditions.

Pear (Pyrus L.) is one of the most important fruits in the world. Fruit dots are an important trait that affects pear quality. Abnormal fruit dots usually reduce the merchantability of pears. In this research, during cold storage, ‘Danxiahong’ pear fruit exhibited protrudent fruit dots on the peels. Microscopy system measurement showed that fruit dots size and height on the abnormal fruit peel were bigger and higher than the normal ones. Likewise, scanning electron microscopy observations indicated that the abnormal fruit peel, in contrast to the normal pear peel, exhibited an abnormal cell structure and fruit dots. Physiological analysis showed that the lignin content in abnormal fruit peel was significantly higher than in normal fruit peel. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis revealed that the top-enriched pathways were mainly associated with lignin synthesis and metabolism. The transcripts of lignin biosynthesis-associated genes were analyzed, and the results showed that the expression of a cascade of structural genes, including PpyPAL, PpyCCR, PpyC3H, PpyC4H, PpyHCT, PpyCAD, PpyLAC, and PpyPOD, was significantly induced in the protrudent peels. Furthermore, the expression of regulatory genes involved in lignin biosynthesis, especially the NAC-MYB-based gene regulatory network, was significantly upregulated in the abnormal peels. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) analysis confirmed the induction of lignin biosynthesis genes. Overall, this research revealed that the abnormal fruit surface was caused by fruit dots disorder during cold storage. This research provides insights into the fine regulation pathways in the prevention of fruit dots protrusion, especially in modulating lignin synthesis and metabolism during postharvest storage.

Hydroquinine has antimicrobial potential with demonstrated activity against several bacteria, including multidrug-resistant (MDR) P. aeruginosa reference strains. Despite this, there is limited evidence confirming the antibacterial activity of hydroquinine against clinical isolates and the underlying mechanism of action. Here, we aimed to investigate the antibacterial effect of hydroquinine in clinical P. aeruginosa strains using phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility testing and synergistic testing. In addition, we examined the potential inhibitory mechanisms against MDR P. aeruginosa isolates using informatic-driven molecular docking analysis in combination with RT-qPCR. We uncovered that hydroquinine inhibits and kills clinical P. aeruginosa at 2.50 mg/mL (MIC) and 5.00 mg/mL (MBC), respectively. Hydroquinine also showed partial synergistic effects with ceftazidime against clinical MDR P. aeruginosa strains. Using SwissDock, we identified potential interactions between arginine deiminase (ADI)-pathway-related proteins and hydroquinine. Furthermore, using RT-qPCR, we found that hydroquinine directly affects the mRNA expression of arc operon. We demonstrated that the ADI-related genes, including the arginine/ornithine antiporter (arcD) and the three enzymes (arginine deiminase (arcA), ornithine transcarbamylase (arcB), and carbamate kinase (arcC)), were significantly downregulated at a half MIC of hydroquinine. This study is the first report that the ADI-related proteins are potential molecular targets for the inhibitory effect of hydroquinine against clinically isolated MDR P. aeruginosa strains.
The Memory of the Two Battles of the Batu’s Invasion Epoch
Authors: Рудаков В.Н. 
Published: September 2023

Статья посвящена исторической памяти о двух сражениях эпохи нашествия Батыя на Северо-Восточную Русь – под Коломной и на реке Сити. В работе решается вопрос о том, почему подлинный герой сопротивления завоевателям – рязанский князь Роман Ингваревич и сражение под Коломной, в ходе которого монголам был нанесен внушительный урон, почти не запечатлелись в исторической памяти. Но при этом бой на реке Сити, история которой крайне туманно изложена в источниках, наоборот, стал одним из символов сопротивления монголам, а ее участник – великий князь владимирский Юрий Всеволодович, поступки которого в период нашествия Батыя были крайне противоречивы, остался в памяти потомков как едва ли не главный борец с захватчиками. Автор приходит к выводу, что подобная трактовка в свое время оказалась востребована составителем рассказа Лаврентьевской летописи, намеренно рассказывавшим о «своих» князьях в наиболее благоприятном для их памяти виде и умалчивавшим о «чужих». Впоследствии версия именно этой летописи легла в основу более поздних рассказов о событиях эпохи нашествия.
The article is dedicated to the historical memory of two battles of Batu's invasion to the northeastern Russia epoch – near Kolomna and on the Sit River. Why the true hero of resistance, Ryazan Prince Roman Ingvarevich and the battle of Kolomna, during which the Mongols suffered impressive damage, were not imprinted in historical memory? The article gives answer to that question. At the same time, the battle on the Sit River, the history of which is rather hazy described in the sources, became one of the symbols of the resistance against the Mongols, and its participant – the Grand Duke of Vladimir Yuri Vsevolodovich, whose actions during the Batu's invasion were extremely contradictory, remained in the memory of descendants as almost the main fighter against the invaders. The author comes to a conclusion that such a depiction of the events had been much affected by personal demands of the compiler of the Laurentian Chronicle, who deliberately told about «his» princes in the most favourable form and kept silent about «strangers». Subsequently, the version of this particular chronicle formed the basis for later stories about the events of the invasion epoch.

Aim. To propose measures to combat overtourism and its negative consequences at the global level and at the level of Sochi Destination.Tasks. To study the processes and risks associated with overtourism; to use the term “overtourism” to describe the negative consequences of mass tourism, which, as a rule, are associated with the explosive growth of popularity of certain places in the world, attracting more and more attention from both ordinary tourists and social network users; to conduct the practical part of the study on the example of the resort city of Sochi.Methods. In this article the international and domestic experience of levelling the risks of overtourism is investigated with the help of analysis, system approach and statistical methods. Measures to combat overtourism and its negative consequences both at the global level and at the level of Sochi destination are proposed.Results. With the overall positive situation in the Sochi destination with signs of overtourism, the formation of its initial manifestations can be traced, which requires the development of preventive measures. In this case it is recommended to take into account the information of the Association of restaurateurs and hoteliers HOTREC, proposed to solve the problems of overtourism in European countries.Conclusions. In the case of signs of overtourism detected by different assessment methods, regional tourism administrations should be advised to develop appropriate prevention strategies. It can be assumed that such strategies should be formed depending on the stages of the life cycle of the destination.

Authors: Minbaleev A. V. 
Published: September 2023

Aim. To identify key problems and prospects for the development of legal support for the transformation of the Russian economy in the transition to a data economy in a multipolar world.Tasks. To substantiate the role and significance of the transition to the data economy from the position of the multipolar world policy development; to identify the key directions of legal support for the formation and development of the data economy, as well as the solution of problems arising in this process.Methods. The research was conducted on the basis of a set of general scientific methods (system analysis, method of dialectical cognition, etc.) and special methods (legal modeling, formal-legal, comparative-legal).Results. The author has revealed the main regularities associated with the impact of the development of data economy on the foreign policy realized by the Russian Federation (RF) on the formation of a multipolar world. The necessity of proper legal support of these processes has been substantiated. The key directions of development of legal support, as well as the existing problems in this area are identified.Conclusions. In modern conditions the policy of multipolar world pursued by Russia can be realized only under the condition of independence, including technological, and ensuring a high level of economic development of the state. The data economy allows already today to talk about the prospects for the development of new technological modes and markets of the future. The necessity of a comprehensive approach to the legal support of the formation and development of the data economy on the basis of systematization of Russian legislation in electronic form has been substantiated, which will greatly facilitate the task of identifying problems related to the quality of normative legal acts and increase the efficiency of law enforcement. In the process of systematization of modern legislation in order to effectively implement it in all spheres of management, it is important to establish general requirements for the functioning of systematization processes and the use of various information technologies. The adoption of the basic law on artificial intelligence, as well as the Digital Code of the Russian Federation is proposed. The problems related to their adoption and their content are highlighted.
Distributed Noncooperative MPC for Energy Scheduling of Charging and Trading Electric Vehicles in Energy Communities
Authors: Mignoni Nicola , Carli Raffaele , Dotoli Mariagrazia 
Published: September 2023

<p>In this paper, we propose a novel control strategy for the optimal scheduling of an energy community constituted by prosumers and equipped with unidirectional vehicle-to-grid (V1G) and vehicle-to-building (V2B) capabilities. In particular, V2B services are provided by long-term parked electric vehicles (EVs), used as temporary storage systems by prosumers, who in turn offer the V1G service to EVs provisionally plugged into charging stations. To tackle the stochastic nature of the framework, we assume that EVs communicate their parking and recharging time distribution to prosumers, allowing them to improve the energy allocation process. Acting as selfish agents, prosumers and EVs interact in a rolling horizon control framework with the aim of achieving an agreement on their operating strategies. The resulting control problem is formulated as a generalized Nash equilibrium problem, addressed through the variational inequality theory, and solved in a distributed fashion leveraging on the accelerated distributed augmented Lagrangian method, showing sufficient conditions for guaranteeing convergence. The proposed model predictive control approach is validated through numerical simulations under realistic scenarios. </p>

Published: September 2023

<p>The recent trend to deploy programmable packet processors in cloud environments enhances the packet processing capability without losing the flexibility to adapt the functions at runtime. In particular, distributed edge clouds can have a heterogeneous programmable processing substrate made up of different classes of devices: CPUs, NPUs, FPGAs, etc. However, managing the allocation of workloads in such a heterogeneous programmable processing substrate, in particular deciding where to instantiate a certain function, is a non-trivial task with many decisive functional and QoS-related factors. </p>
<p>In this paper, we propose a mathematical model for optimizing the embedding of Service Function Chains implemented in P4, while considering the functional and QoS requirements associated with embedding requests, and the various types of processing devices that have different properties in terms of processing delay and supported features. To satisfy delay requirements, the problem formulation utilizes performance models to predict the forwarding latency associated with different candidate embedding options. Furthermore, a greedy solution is proposed to solve the problem in an efficient manner. Finally, a detailed numerical evaluation is conducted to evaluate the formulated model when different workload and infrastructure characteristics are varied and to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed greedy solution. </p>

Beyond Ultra-diffuse Galaxies. II. Environmental Quenching of Mass–Size Outliers among the Satellites of Milky Way Analogs

Abstract
Recent observations have reignited interest in a population of dwarf galaxies that are large and diffuse for their mass, often called ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs). However, the origin and evolution of these mass–size outliers and the role of the environment are still unclear. Using the exquisitely deep and wide Hyper Suprime-Cam Strategic Survey images, we search for ultra-puffy galaxies (UPGs), defined as being 1.5σ larger than the average size for their mass, around Milky Way–like galaxies. We present the sizes and radial distributions of mass–size outliers and derive their quenched fraction to explore the impact of the environment. Surprisingly, despite being outliers in size, the UPGs have a similar quenched fraction as normal-sized satellites of Milky Way analogs in both observations and simulations, suggesting that quenching is not tied to being a mass–size outlier. The quenched fraction is higher for the UPGs associated with redder hosts, as well as those that are closer to the host in projection. In contrast, the UDGs are overall redder and more quiescent compared with normal satellites. We show that the classic definition of UDGs is heavily weighted toward quenched galaxies and thus cannot be used for a study of quenching of mass–size outliers.
