description: In orther to investigate the influence of different drought stress levels on the quality and quantity yield of forage Amaranth, a set of split-plot analysis were carried out in randomized blocks design with three replicates during the 2018 and 2019 growing seasons. The main factor of this study was different irrigation levels (50, 60, 70, and 80 % of the plant available water depletion) and the sub-factor was considered to be three different forage Amaranth genotypes, including Cim, Kharkovski, and Loura. The results revealed that an increase in irrigation intervals especially in 80 % water-deficit condition, will lead to a decrement in the fresh and dry yields (62 and 50 %), a reduction of WP factor (50 %) and an increase of the dry matter and crude protein percentages regarding the control treatment. Furthermore, to specify the most significant stress indices from Principal Component analysis in different drought stress levels, Harmonic Mean was chosen as the best index to examine the tolerance of Amaranth cultivars to the drought condition. According to the 3D graph of the opted index correlation with the yields, it was concluded that while Loura presents a better yield under mild stress conditions, the Cim genotype has the highest performance under moderate and severe drought stress conditions.

description: Broad emission lines of active galactic nuclei stem from a spatially extended region (broad-line region, BLR) that is composed of discrete clouds and photoionized by the central ionizing continuum. The temporal behaviors of these emission lines are blurred echoes of the continuum variations (i.e., reverberation mapping, RM) and directly reflect the structures and kinematic information of BLRs through the so-called transfer function (also known as the velocity-delay map). Based on the previous works of Rybicki & Press (1992) and Zu et al. (2011), we develop an extended, non-parametric approach to determine the transfer function for RM data, in which the transfer function is expressed as a sum of a family of relatively displaced Gaussian response functions. Therefore, arbitrary shapes of transfer functions associated with complicated BLR geometry can be seamlessly included, enabling us to relax the presumption of a specified transfer function frequently adopted in previous studies and to let it be determined by observation data. We formulate our approach in a previously well-established framework that incorporates the statistical modeling of the continuum variations as a damped random walk process and takes into account the long-term secular variations which are irrelevant to RM signals. The Application to RM data shows the fidelity of our approach.

description: Electrochemical capacitors with pure electric double layer capacitance are so far largely been limited to carbon materials only. Conventional metal oxides with Faradaic pseudocapacitance substantially suffer from material instability at high temperatures and thus there is a demand for novel metal oxides exhibiting thermally improved high electric double layer capacitance with material stability. In this study, titanium sesquioxide, Ti$_2$O$_3$, a Mott insulator in its metallic state at 300$^o$ C showed an anomalous increase of $\approx$ 560% in the solid-state electrochemical capacitance as compared to its pristine response at room temperature (RT). In aqueous electrolyte, the maximum capacitance was obtained up to 1053 $μ$F/cm$^2$, which is 307% higher than with solid-state electrolyte. Moreover, the semiconducting state of Ti$_2$O$_3$ demonstrated $\approx$ 3500% enhancement in its electrochemical capacitance upon infrared illumination at RT. The observed electrochemical responses in Ti$_2$O$_3$ are attributed to the transition of semiconducting to the metallic state by redistribution of the localized electrons. Our experimental results find a good agreement with the first-principles density-functional theory calculations that revealed an increase in the charge density with the rise in temperature, which is mainly attributed to the surface Ti atoms. The study open has wide avenues to engineer the electrochemical double layer capacitance of theory calculations that revealed an increase in the charge density with the rise in temperature, which is mainly attributed to the surface Ti atoms. The study opens wide avenues to engineer the electrochemical double layer capacitance of Ti$_2$O$_3$ with high chemical stability.

This thesis investigates synthetic strategies towards substituted 2-thioxo-1,3- benzoxazines. The biological significance of new 2-amino-[5, 6, 7 and 8]-O-substituted1,3-benzoxazines and 2-amino-8-methyl-7-O-substituted-1,3-benzoxazines is investigated. The reaction of 2-thio-1,3-benzoxazine with benzyl amine is also examined. In addition synthesis and the biological activity for a number of new angular morpholino-(substituted)-naphth-oxazines, linear morpholino-(substituted)-naphthoxazines, linear 6, 7 and 9-O-substituted-2-morpholino-(substituted)-naphth-1,3- oxazines. The O-substituents were the 2yl- and 3yl-methyl pyridine as well as (4- methylpiperazin-1-yl)ethoxy. Furthermore the synthesis of 2-methyl-thioxo-1,3-benzoxazines is established and the biological implications for new 2-(pyridin-3-ylamino)-4H-(substituted-benz[e]-1,3- oxazin-4-one and 2-(N-Substituted-(pyridin-3-ylmethyl)amino)-substituted-1,3- benzoxazines is accomplished. The X-ray crystallography was used to confirm that the 2-N-substituted structures were formed rather than 3-N-substituted analogue. Homology modeling was used to build a 3D model of DNA-PK based on the X-ray structure of PI3K. Docking of selected synthesized compounds within the binding pocket and SAR analyses of the poses were performed and results agreed well with observed activity. Biological assays were performed, and many of the 5, 6, 7 and 8-O-substituted-2- amino-1,3-benzoxazines and 2-amino-substituted-1,3-naphth-oxazines were evaluated for their anti-platelet and DNA-PK activity with promising results. Several of the assayed compounds showed potent inhibition of collagen induced platelet aggregation and DNA-PK inhibition. The antimicrobial evaluation of the benzyl thio urea and some of the dione benzyl urea compounds prepared herein is also presented.

description: Agriculture has a considerable impact on water resources and it is strongly affected by climate change. It is important to determine and forecast crop water use for controlling and planning water resources while ensuring agricultural sustainability. Crop Water Footprint (WF) is an indicator of water consumed for crop production. The aim of the study is to calculate WF of winter wheat using Water Footprint Assessment (WFA) and to simulate future WFs by means of AquaCrop model for the Thrace region in Turkey. Although winter wheat does not require irrigation, the estimation of the WF is of importance due to its extensive production throughout the country. The WFs is estimated using meteorological and CORDEX data. The emerging findings indicate an increase in average temperature between 0.9 and 4.0°C. Precipitation is expected to increase by 15% under the optimistic scenario (RCP 4.5) and decrease by 17% under the worst-case scenario (RCP 8.5) by 2099. Winter wheat yield will positively be affected by increasing temperatures by up to 17% under RCP 4.5 and 26% under RCP 8.5 scenarios.

description: In this paper, we provide an operational criterion for controlled dense coding with a general class of three-qubit partially entangled states. A general three-qubit pure entangled state can be classified into two inequivalent classes according to their genuine tripartite entanglement. We claim that if a three-qubit state shows entanglement characteristic similar to $GHZ$-class then such non-trivial tripartite states are useful in {\it controlled dense coding} whereas states belonging to $W$-class are not useful for that. We start with a particular class of non-trivial partially entangled states belonging to $GHZ$-class and show that they are effective in controlled dense coding. Then we cite several other examples of different types of tripartite entangled states to support our conjecture.

description: HSZ Double Field Theory is a higher-derivative theory of gravity with exact and manifest T-duality symmetry. The first order corrections in the massless sector were shown to be governed solely by Chern-Simons deformations of the three-form field strength. We compute the full action with up to six derivatives ${\cal O} (α'{}^2)$ for the universal sector containing the metric, two-form and dilaton fields. The Green-Schwarz transformation of the two-form field remains uncorrected to second order. In addition to the expected Chern-Simons-squared and Riemann-cubed terms the theory contains a cubic Gauss-Bonnet interaction, plus other six-derivative unambiguous terms involving the three-form field strength whose presence indicates that the theory must contain further higher-derivative corrections.

description: Abstract Active systems are characterized by a continuous production of entropy at steady state. We study the statistics of entropy production within a lattice-based model of interacting active particles that is capable of motility-induced phase separation. Exploiting a recent formulation of the exact fluctuating hydrodynamics for this model, we provide analytical results for its entropy production statistics in both typical and atypical (biased) regimes. This complements previous studies of the large deviation statistics of entropy production in off-lattice active particle models that could only be addressed numerically. Our analysis uncovers an unexpectedly intricate phase diagram, with five different phases arising (under bias) within the parameter regime where the unbiased system is in its homogeneous state. Notably, we find the concurrence of first order and second order nonequilibrium phase transition curves at a bias-induced tricritical point, a feature not yet reported in previous studies of active systems.

description: In this experimental-modelling research, the potential biomass achievable by sorghum to be converted in bioethanol was assessed and then formalized into the radiation use efficiency (RUE) and transpiration use efficiency (TUE). Dry aboveground biomass (harvested at the flowering stage) ranged between 22.6 t ha-1 and 28.34 t ha-1 over two growing seasons with a total water consumption of 382 mm and 504 mm, respectively. Starting from sampling measurements, the empirical framework allowed to reproduce daily data of dry biomass, canopy development, intercepted photosynthetically active radiation and transpiration related efficiencies. RUE and TUE resulted 4.98 g MJ-1 and 7.45 kg m-3, respectively. Their robustness (as stable parameters) was assessed through the validation process. Finally, the multiple linear regression approach, was applied to screen among limiting factors. It was pointed out that although sorghum was grown under irrigated regime, water demand resulted not fully fulfilled to achieve the full performance of the crop.

description: Grammatical Error Correction (GEC) systems perform a sequence-to-sequence task, where an input word sequence containing grammatical errors, is corrected for these errors by the GEC system to output a grammatically correct word sequence. With the advent of deep learning methods, automated GEC systems have become increasingly popular. For example, GEC systems are often used on speech transcriptions of English learners as a form of assessment and feedback - these powerful GEC systems can be used to automatically measure an aspect of a candidate's fluency. The count of \textit{edits} from a candidate's input sentence (or essay) to a GEC system's grammatically corrected output sentence is indicative of a candidate's language ability, where fewer edits suggest better fluency. The count of edits can thus be viewed as a \textit{fluency score} with zero implying perfect fluency. However, although deep learning based GEC systems are extremely powerful and accurate, they are susceptible to adversarial attacks: an adversary can introduce a small, specific change at the input of a system that causes a large, undesired change at the output. When considering the application of GEC systems to automated language assessment, the aim of an adversary could be to cheat by making a small change to a grammatically incorrect input sentence that conceals the errors from a GEC system, such that no edits are found and the candidate is unjustly awarded a perfect fluency score. This work examines a simple universal substitution adversarial attack that non-native speakers of English could realistically employ to deceive GEC systems used for assessment.

description: The Soudano-Sahelian and Soudanian agro-climatic zones of Burkina Faso extent over 150,000 km2 and 55,000 km2, respectively, equivalent to 75 % of the country’s total surface area. Food security throughout the country is constantly threatened due to inter/intra annual fluctuations on crop production. Climate resilient and highly nutritional crops (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) are of increasing interest in regions exposed to environmental stresses and having high undernourishment rates. This study examines quinoa’s adaptability in two agro-ecological zones of Burkina Faso (Soudano-Sahelian and Soudanian zones). Four quinoa genotypes (Pasankalla, Negra Collana, Titicaca and Puno) are tested for different sowing periods (from October to January) in two agro-ecological zones, and their effect on crop growth is evaluated. Results show a significant effect of sowing dates on plant phenology in both agro-climatic zones. Photoperiod, temperature and wind speed are the major environmental factors explaining variation in terms of crop growth and development between sowing dates. Emerging findings show that short cycle varieties (Titicaca and Puno) can be highly performing (above 3 t ha-1) when sowing between November-December and October-December in the Soudano-Sahelian and Soudanian zones, respectively. Other genotypes (Pasankalla), can respond better to strong Harmattan winds, besides having similar yields to those reported for Titicaca and Puno. Pasankalla and Negra Collana tend to be susceptible to heat-stress conditions occurring in March-April because of their long cycle (around 120 days).

description: Salmonella Paratyphi A, the primary etiology of paratyphoid, is estimated to cause 3.4 million infections annually, worldwide. With rising antimicrobial resistance and no licensed vaccines, genomic surveillance is key to track and monitor transmission, but there is currently no reliable genotyping framework for this pathogen. Here, we sequence 817 isolates from South Asia and add 562 publicly available genomes to build a global database representing 37 countries, covering 1917-2019. We develop a single nucleotide polymorphism-based genotyping scheme, Paratype, that segregates Salmonella Paratyphi A population into three primary and nine secondary clades, and 18 genotypes. Each genotype is assigned a unique allele definition located on an essential gene. Using Paratype, we identify spatiotemporal genomic variation and antimicrobial resistance markers. We release Paratype as an open-access tool that can use raw read files from both Illumina and Nanopore platforms, and thus can assist surveillance studies tracking Salmonella Paratyphi A across the globe.

description: The origin of young star clusters represents a major challenge for modern stellar astrophysics. While stellar rotation partially explains the colour spread observed along main-sequence turn-offs, i.e. where stars leave the main-sequence after the exhaustion of hydrogen in their core, and the multiple main sequences in the colour-magnitude diagrams of stellar systems younger than approximately 2 Gyr, it appears that an age difference may still be required to fulfill the observational constraints. Here we introduce an alternative approach that exploits the main-sequence turn-on, i.e. the point alongside the colour-magnitude diagram where pre-main-sequence stars join the main-sequence, to disentangle between the effects of stellar rotation and age to assess the presence, or lack thereof, of prolonged star formation in the approximately 40-Myr-old cluster NGC1818. Our results provide evidence for a fast star formation, confined within 8 Myr, thus excluding age differences as responsible for the extended main-sequence turn-offs, and leading the way to alternative observational perspectives in the exploration of stellar populations in young clusters.

description: Using Felgner's problem I revisit a key issue in using the "Galois Stratification Procedure" that first appeared in [FrS76]. The emphasis here is on using arithmetic homotopy to make the production of Poincare; series attached to general diophantine statements canonical. According to work in progress of Michael Benedikt and E. Hrushovski, Galois stratification - over one finite field - is as efficient as is possible: on a statement of length n, it requires time bounded by a stack of exponentials of length linear in n. This doesn't take advantage of problems prepped for using homotopy aspects, Chow Motives, efficiently as in the main example which comes from my paper on the generalization of exceptional covers. That example [FrJ, Chap. 30], simplifies aspects of the original procedure. It combines this with the later theory of Frobenius fields to produce objects over Q whose reductions mod primes give the stratification procedure at the prime. The paper separates two different uses of the Chebotarev non-regular analog. 1. Field crossing to interpret Poincare series coefficients directly from traces on Chow motives (providing valuable statements on variation with the prime p; versus 2. Chebotarev using Lang-Weil to approximate the number of points on an appropriate variety for the Galois stratification procedure. We consider variables taking values in the algebraic closure of Z/p but fixed by respective powers of the Frobenius: we call these Frobenius vectors. For this there is a twisted Chebotarev version stemming from a conjecture of Deligne, and outlined in a preprint of Hrushovski. This paper expands on the work of D. Wan, J. Denef and F. Loeser, J. Nicaise, I. Tomasic and E. Hrushovski, all relevant to taking the Galois stratification procedure beyond the original finite field framework.

description: In this paper we study the Lie theoretic properties of a class of topological groups which carry a Banach manifold structure but whose multiplication is not smooth. If $G$ and $N$ are Banach-Lie groups and $π: G \to \mathrm{Aut}(N)$ is a homomorphism defining a continuous action of $G$ on $N$, then $H := N \rtimes_πG$ is a Banach manifold with a topological group structure for which the left multiplication maps are smooth, but the right multiplication maps need not to be. We show that these groups share surprisingly many properties with Banach-Lie groups: (a) for every regulated function $ξ: [0,1] \to T_1H$ the initial value problem $\dotγ(t) = γ(t)ξ(t)$, $γ(0)= 1_H$, has a solution and the corresponding evolution map from curves in $T_1H$ to curves in $H$ is continuous; (b) every $C^1$-curve $γ$ with $γ(0) = 1$ and $γ'(0) = x$ satisfies $\lim_{n \to \infty} γ(t/n)^n = \exp(tx)$; (c) the Trotter formula holds for $C^1$ one-parameter groups in $H$; (d) the subgroup $N^\infty$ of elements with smooth $G$-orbit maps in $N$ carries a natural Fréchet-Lie group structure for which the $G$-action is smooth; (e) the resulting Fréchet-Lie group $H^\infty := N^\infty \rtimes G$ is also regular in the sense of (a).

description: We consider the challenging problem of outdoor lighting estimation for the goal of photorealistic virtual object insertion into photographs. Existing works on outdoor lighting estimation typically simplify the scene lighting into an environment map which cannot capture the spatially-varying lighting effects in outdoor scenes. In this work, we propose a neural approach that estimates the 5D HDR light field from a single image, and a differentiable object insertion formulation that enables end-to-end training with image-based losses that encourage realism. Specifically, we design a hybrid lighting representation tailored to outdoor scenes, which contains an HDR sky dome that handles the extreme intensity of the sun, and a volumetric lighting representation that models the spatially-varying appearance of the surrounding scene. With the estimated lighting, our shadow-aware object insertion is fully differentiable, which enables adversarial training over the composited image to provide additional supervisory signal to the lighting prediction. We experimentally demonstrate that our hybrid lighting representation is more performant than existing outdoor lighting estimation methods. We further show the benefits of our AR object insertion in an autonomous driving application, where we obtain performance gains for a 3D object detector when trained on our augmented data.

description: Picard 2-categories are symmetric monoidal 2-categories with invertible 0-, 1-, and 2-cells. The classifying space of a Picard 2-category $\mathcal{D}$ is an infinite loop space, the zeroth space of the $K$-theory spectrum $K\mathcal{D}$. This spectrum has stable homotopy groups concentrated in levels 0, 1, and 2. In this paper, we describe part of the Postnikov data of $K\mathcal{D}$ in terms of categorical structure. We use this to show that there is no strict skeletal Picard 2-category whose $K$-theory realizes the 2-truncation of the sphere spectrum. As part of the proof, we construct a categorical suspension, producing a Picard 2-category $ΣC$ from a Picard 1-category $C$, and show that it commutes with $K$-theory in that $KΣC$ is stably equivalent to $ΣK C$.

Catalytic gasification studies of German brown coal containing iron species

Publisher: name: La Trobe

description: Research on the catalytic conversion of brown coal into useful combustible gases (syngas, H2 and CO) is of world-wide importance, both economically and environmentally. After crushing, mixing and washing German brown coal with acid to remove all inorganics, iron species were added at 1.7, 4.4, 7.8 and 12.4 wt % (dry basis) in the form of iron hydroxyl species to the washed coal. Samples of acid washed coal, with and without added iron, were studied under inert gas over 200 – 900 °C. The iron, after these reactions, was present in the char as Fe2O3, Fe3O4 and reduced Fe. The weight loss for all samples during pyrolysis was similar. The coals with more added iron gave larger CO2:CO ratios because an intermediate iron carbonate is formed that is subsequently thermally decomposed into reduced iron species and CO2. Coals with 1.7 and 4.4 wt % added iron gave similar weight losses to the acid washed coal for steam gasification between 200 – 900 °C. However, those coal samples containing 7.8 and 12.4 wt % added iron gave similar weight losses at temperatures up to 600 °C, but above 700 °C, the weight losses were 20-40 wt % greater, with higher yields of H2, CO2, CO and CH4, compared to the acid washed coal. The results were analysed by XRD, XPS, EDX, SIMS, AAS, and GC, and showed that Fe at 7.8% and 12.4 wt % was a good catalyst for steam gasification of brown coal at the high temperatures (700 – 900 °C). The results from the catalytic steam gasification chemistry were consistent with the mechanisms examined with molecular modelling. This research demonstrated the ability of catalytic steam gasification of brown coal to increase the yield of hydrogen, pointing to the possible development of a practical and economic gasification process.

description: Two monopodal (2,4-dichloro-6-(3-hydroxytyramine)-1,3,5-triazine) and tripodal (2,4,6-(3-hydroxytyramine)-1,3,5-triazine) s-triazine derivatives were prepared through the reaction of cyanuric chloride (2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine) and 3-hydroxytyramine hydrochloride (do-pamine hydrochloride). The structures of the compounds were identified by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, thermal analysis and elemental analysis. Their antimicrobial activities were car-ried out using the broth microdilution method in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO): Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) against eight bacteria and one yeast. The results of the test were com-pared with ampicillin. It was determined that CCDOP1, CCDOP3 and DOP have significant antibacterial and antifungal activity. These three chemicals revealed strong antibacterial activ-ity against the E. coli and S. aureus strains used in the study. S. aureus was the most sensitive strain against dopamine hydrochloride and E. coli was the most sensitive bacteria against CCDOP1.
