Velocity of Meloidogyne ethiopica second‐stage juveniles in sandy soil under several soil moisture conditions
Authors: González‐Bernal Sebastián , Magunacelaya Juan Carlos 
Published: May 2022

AbstractCalculating the velocity and migration of plant‐parasitic nematodes in soil is important for understanding individual roles in nematode populations. Tracking individual nematodes in the soil is difficult, and any marking system can alter the behavior of second‐stage juvenile (J2) nematodes. This study examined the velocity of Meloidogyne ethiopica J2s under different soil moisture conditions and proposed a maximum migration distance. Evaluations considered 16 velocity categories (distances of 1.5, 4.5, 9.5, and 14.5 cm; experimental periods of 3, 6, 16, and 26 d) and four moisture ranges (40–55, 55–70, 70–85, and 85–100%) in pots with sandy soil under controlled temperature and moisture conditions. The weighted average velocity of J2 specimens that reached the roots was 70–75 μm h−1, and the maximum recorded velocity was 378 μm h−1. The fastest average velocities were 100 μm h−1 (Test 1) and 89 μm h−1 (Test 2). The average velocity at 85–100% soil moisture was very similar to the overall weighted average velocity of M. ethiopica J2s because most movement of the J2 specimens occurred at higher soil moisture ranges. Few J2s moved in the 40–55% soil moisture range. At slow velocities (24, 39, and 72 μm h−1), the number of J2s reaching the roots was highly correlated with higher soil moisture. The majority of M. ethiopica J2s did not move or moved at velocities slower than 24 μm h−1, implying that unless the plant roots were near the nematode, they will not be infested.

AbstractSmall‐molecule drugs are of significant importance to human health. The use of efficient model‐based de novo drug design method is an option worth considering for expediting the discovery of drugs with satisfactory properties. In this article, a deep learning model is first developed for identifications of protein‐ligand complexes with high binding affinity, where the Mol2vec descriptor, the convolutional neural network, and the gate augmentation‐based Attention mechanism are used for the model construction. Then, an optimization‐based de novo drug design framework is established by integrating the deep learning model into a Mixed‐Integer NonLinear Programming (MINLP) model for drug candidate design. The optimal solution of the MINLP model is further verified by the physics‐based methods of molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation. Finally, two case studies involving the design of anticoagulant and antitumor drug candidates are presented to highlight the wide applicability and effectiveness of the MINLP‐based de novo drug design framework.

Published: May 2022

AbstractObjectivesHow a species uses its anatomical manipulators is determined by its anatomy, physiology, and ecology. While ecology explains interspecific variation in gripping, grasping, and manipulating objects, its role in intraspecific variation in mouth‐ and hand‐use by animals is less explored. Primates are distinguished by their prehensile capabilities and manual dexterity. In context to the adaptive pressures of urbanization on primates, we examined if mouth and hand use differed across the forest‐urban gradient in food retrieval and processing under experimental and naturalistic conditions in cercopithecids, a family comprising several urbanizing primates.Materials and MethodsWe recorded the acquisition and processing of peanuts under experimental conditions in three groups of bonnet macaques (BM, Macaca radiata) differing in their dietary dependence on packaged food items along a rural–urban gradient. To affirm the pattern obtained in the experiment, we coded food acquisition of three cercopithecid species in similar habitats from video sources.ResultsUrban macaques had a disproportionately higher hand use to acquire and process peanuts while rural macaques had higher mouth use. Based on analyses of videos, urban populations of BM, Japanese macaque (M. fuscata) and vervet monkey (Chlorocebus pygerythrus) showed a bias toward hand use during food acquisition.DiscussionThe adaptive pressures of urbanization, like the manual constraints of extracting packaged foods and perhaps, the need for visual‐haptic exploration of novel objects seem to accentuate hand use in synanthropic groups of primates. Additional research should ascertain similar patterns in other primates and determine specific aspects of urbanization that modulate the observed trend.

AbstractAn important scientific task is the search for inexpensive and environmentally friendly methods for the production of chitosan oligomers. In the present work, the possibility of chitosan decomposition in the presence of peroxycarbonic acid solutions under high CO2 pressure was investigated. This medium contains self‐neutralizing carbonic acid used here to dissolve chitosan as well as peroxycarbonic acid formed from aqueous hydrogen peroxide, which acts as an oxidizing agent strong enough to break the glycosidic bonds of chitosan. The resulting chitosan decomposition product was analyzed by a number of analytical methods, such as IR spectroscopy, UV–vis spectroscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, high resolution mass spectrometry, and X‐ray diffraction. It was found that even with relatively low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and short processing times, it is possible to obtain chitosan oligomers with a molecular weight of about 14 kDa. The obtained polymer was examined by SEM and TG. It showed a good ability to form porous matrices, while its thermal stability somewhat decreased.
On reachable set synthesis of delay Markovian jump systems under partially delay‐dependent asynchronous control
Authors: Feng Bo , Feng Zhiguang 
Published: May 2022

AbstractThis paper pays close attention to the reachable set synthesis problem for discrete‐time delayed Markovian jump systems (DDMJSs) under partially asynchronous control. Different from the traditional controller, a class of partially asynchronous controller is proposed, where delay‐free and delay states are comprised and cannot take place at the same time. In addition, Bernoulli variable is used to describe the probability distribution of the above two kinds of states, and the design of feedback controller is considered. On this basis, the sufficient conditions which the state feedback controller is existent are solved effectively by using linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Furthermore, the results of reachable set synthesis are extended to the DDMJs with uncertain transition probabilities. Finally, several numerical simulations are given to show the effectiveness of the presented methods.

Published: May 2022

AbstractBioenergy may take up different roles in the context of greenhouse gas emission reduction in the EU by mid‐century. We discuss the implications of large‐scale bioenergy deployment in the EU within a decarbonization context using the PRIMES biomass supply model to quantify four scenarios, which explore alternative mitigation pathways based on different emission reduction targets (at least 80% emission reduction by 2050 compared to 1990, and net‐zero emissions by 2050), and different mitigation options, including electrification, behavioral changes, and synfuels. The quantitative assessment of these pathways reveals challenges and opportunities related to the development of a large‐scale bioenergy supply system in the EU. The analysis demonstrates that bioenergy provides between 14% and 17% of final energy consumption and 7–9% of electricity generation. Bioenergy commodities such as gaseous bioenergy and advanced biofuels are deployed in all pathways. The market size of solid biomass and advanced biofuels depends on the contribution of alternative mitigation options such as electricity and synfuels, and decarbonization ambitions. Large‐scale bioenergy deployment requires the supply of energy crops, and the availability of additional agricultural land. Alongside technological preparedness, it requires policies that ensure regulatory coherence and proper market design in order to address the needs of a diverse set of actors across sectors, ranging from farmers, technology investors, and distributors to final consumers; this requires market and policy coordination to unlock the bioenergy contribution to decarbonization. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

AbstractGreen innovation is increasingly receiving attention in organisational behaviour and strategic management literature. However, understanding employee's preferences for organisations that have adopted innovative environmental practices have received little attention. This study tests a framework that examines the relationship between employees' preferences for innovative green organisations, hope, and intentions to stay. Data were collected from 403 employees in Australia. Results show that employees' preferences for green innovation drive the emotional state of employee hope, which has a positive effect on employees' intentions to stay with the organisation. This study offers implications for academics and managers, advancing the literature on green innovation, recruitment, retention, and organisational behaviour.

AbstractGaucher disease (GD) is a rare metabolic disorder due to pathogenic variants in the GBA gene. We report the first case of the rare p.Arg87Trp pathogenic variant (formerly known as R48W) of the GBA gene in the Tunisian population. A female Arab patient was assessed at the age of 26 due to abdominal distension, bone pain, and headache since she was 25. Physical examination revealed splenomegaly, rib deformation, lumbar scoliosis, and upper limb tremor. Bone marrow was infiltrated by Gaucher cells. The patient was homozygous for the rare p.Arg87Trp variant which is known to be associated with a mild phenotype. This report highlights the necessity of screening the Tunisian population for this rare variant.

Published: May 2022

AbstractPrimary retroperitoneal cavernous hemangioma is an extremely rare disease in clinical practice. It is classified as a vascular tumor. Only three cases have been reported in the literature. The diagnosis is uncommon due to the lack of specific radiological features. It becomes symptomatic as a consequence of its enormous size or complications like rupture or compression. We herein report a unique case of primary retroperitoneal cavernous hemangioma treated with conventional surgery in a 35‐year‐old male patient admitted to our department for chronic abdominal pain. Retroperitoneal cavernous hemangioma is an extremely rare vascular tumor in adulthood. Confirmation is made by histopathological examination after total surgical resection.

Comprehensive SummaryGeneral and straightforward synthetic strategy towards the iron(II) clathrochelates with functionalizing substituents in their apical capping and one of the three chelate ribbed fragments was developed. Their hexachloroclathrochelate precursors were prepared by the direct template condensation of dichloroglyoxime with a suitable boronic acid on the Fe2+ ion as a matrix and underwent a stepwise nucleophilic substitution with S2‐, N2‐ or O2‐bis‐nucleophiles, forming the alicyclic or aromatic N2‐, S2‐ or O2‐six‐membered fragments. Depending on the reaction conditions and precursor‐to‐dinucleophile molar ratios, iron(II) clathrochelates with one (S, O and N), two (S, O and N) or three (S and O) X2‐six‐membered ribbed substituent(s) were obtained. Their reactivity substantially decreases in a row: Cl6‐Cage > Cl4X2‐Cage (where X = S, O or, especially, N) > Cl2X4‐Cage (where X = S or O). The reactive monoribbed‐functionalized clathrochelates underwent further chemical transformations giving the target macrobicyclic complexes with terminal vector groups. As follows from the single crystal XRD data, their FeN6‐coordination polyhedra possess the geometry intermediate between a trigonal prism and a trigonal antiprism (φ = 21.3°—25.20°). Fe—N distances vary from 1.887(6) to 1.933(8) Å. Their 3D‐molecules, the hydrophobic–hydrophilic balance in which can be tuned using a ribbed functionalization, form in the crystals the intermolecular specific halogen bonds and/or hydrophobic interactions.
Supply chain slack and sustainable development performance: The “fit–adjust” effect of objective and perceived environmental uncertainties
Authors: Chen Jinliang , Yu Kangkang , Gong Jiaowei 
Published: May 2022

AbstractSlack has been argued to have “double‐edged sword” effects; hence, whether it contributes to sustainable development remains questionable. This study examines the relationship between supply chain slack and sustainable development performance based on information processing theory. To test the hypotheses, this study collected 1017 panel data of 102 Chinese listed companies in the agricultural and food industry from 2010 to 2019. Results show that supply chain slack exerts a positive effect on sustainable development performance, with objective environmental uncertainty positively moderating this direct effect. However, this positive moderating effect is weaker when there is a higher level of perceived environmental uncertainty from the perspective of metacognition. Results indicate that supply chain slack generates a higher level of sustainable development performance when managers acquire more information that they can use to adjust the fit “bias” regarding objective environmental uncertainty in support of the underlying “fit–adjust” logic.
Backwasting rock sheets of the Navajo Sandstone, Utah, USA

Published: May 2022

AbstractOn many Navajo Sandstone outcrops in southern Utah, steep, decimetre‐high scarps (downslope‐facing margins of rock sheets) interrupt smooth slopes covered by crustose lichens. Scarps form where sheeting joints and water emerge at the land surface. Weathering at scarp faces causes upslope backwasting of rock sheets and leaves behind smooth, unweathered rock surfaces that become stabilized by lichens. We hypothesize that subsurface, low‐angle, open fractures in porous and permeable rocks are barriers to downward flux of water through the vadose zone. Runoff and lateral flow through the uppermost rock sheets deliver water to scarps, inducing backwasting. Monitoring of temperature and water/ice content within two surficial rock sheets revealed that, in the winter of 2020–2021, snowmelt that entered lichen‐covered surfaces persisted for 64 days and underwent 46 freeze/thaw cycles. Water gained from summer rains remained for a maximum of 11 days. Flaking rock and dangling lichen crusts that overhang scarps indicate backwasting is now active. We conclude that freeze/thaw cycles (rather than salt precipitation) drive backwasting at our study sites, all of which are located more than 1400 m above sea level where the climate is relatively cool, and snowfalls are frequent. Backwasting would likely be more rapid and extensive under a cooler, wetter (periglacial) climate. Although broad, gently sloping, lichen‐covered rock sheets dominate the land surface, they are not downwasting; weathering is instead restricted to the near‐vertical, lichen‐free, backwasting scarps.

Published: May 2022

AbstractThe heat dissipation around battery cells should be thoroughly examined to keep the battery pack running properly. This article mainly focuses on the 3D analysis of thermal distribution in lithium‐ion battery (LIB; 14650, 18650 and 26650) with varied geometry sizes and the thermal distribution of LIB packs (6s and 12s series) at different charge/discharge rate. It has been concluded that the capacity loss increases at higher SOC levels for the calendar aging as derived from the lumped model approach. Additionally, the rate of heat generation with the increase in battery size and its effect on the overall battery temperature has been observed. The proposed work has been simulated in COMSOL Multiphysics 5.6 for observing the temperature variations within the battery pack and the vital findings are stated from the conclusions.

Published: May 2022

AbstractBackgroundThe effect of stochastic small base station (SBS) deployment on the energy efficiency (EE) and spectral efficiency (SE) of sparse code multiple access (SCMA)‐based heterogeneous cellular networks (HCNs) is still mostly unknown.AimThis research study seeks to provide insight into the interaction between SE and EE in SBS sleep‐mode enabled SCMA‐based HCNs.MethodologyA model that characterizes the energy‐spectral‐efficiency (ESE) of a two‐tier SBS sleep‐mode enabled SCMA‐based HCN was derived. A multiobjective optimization problem was formulated to maximize the SE and EE of the SCMA‐based HCN simultaneously. The multiobjective optimization problem was solved using a proposed weighted sum modified particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO). A comparison was made between the performance of the proposed weighted sum modified PSO algorithm and the genetic algorithm (GA) and the case where the SCMA‐based HCN is unoptimized.ResultsThe Pareto‐optimal front generated showed a simultaneous maximization of the SE and EE of the SCMA‐based HCN at high traffic levels and a convex front that allows network operators to select the SE‐EE tradeoff at low traffic levels flexibly. The proposed PSO algorithm offers a higher SBS density, and a higher SBS transmit power at high traffic levels than at low traffic levels. The unoptimized SCMA‐based HCN achieves an 80% lower SE and a 51% lower EE than the proposed PSO optimized SCMA‐based HCN. The optimum SE and EE achieved by the SCMA‐based HCN using the proposed PSO algorithm or the GA are comparable, but the proposed PSO uses a 51.85% lower SBS density and a 35.96% lower SBS transmit power to achieve the optimal SE and EE at moderate traffic levels.ConclusionIn sleep‐mode enabled SCMA‐based HCNs, network engineers have to decide the balance of SBS density and SBS transmit power that helps achieve the desired SE and EE.

AbstractMental imagery is part of people's own internal processing and plays an important role in everyday life, cognition and pathology. The neural network supporting mental imagery is bottom‐up modulated by the imagery content. Here, we examined the complex associations of gender and age with the neural mechanisms underlying emotion imagery. We assessed the brain circuits involved in emotion mental imagery (vs. action imagery), controlled by a letter detection task on the same stimuli, chosen to ensure attention to the stimuli and to discourage imagery, in 91 men and women aged 14–65 years using fMRI. In women, compared with men, emotion imagery significantly increased activation within the right putamen, which is involved in emotional processing. Increasing age, significantly decreased mental imagery‐related activation in the left insula and cingulate cortex, areas involved in awareness of ones' internal states, and it significantly decreased emotion verbs‐related activation in the left putamen, which is part of the limbic system. This finding suggests a top‐down mechanism by which gender and age, in interaction with bottom‐up effect of type of stimulus, or directly, can modulate the brain mechanisms underlying mental imagery.
