description: In this study, the most appropriate form of the specific growth rate of the yeast Kluyweromyces marxianus var lactis MC5 was determined by a multi-criteria decision-making method (PROMETHEE II). Then, based on experimental data from a total of six batch processes, the simultaneous estimation of the kinetic parameters for four batch processes was made. The remaining two experiments were used to test the model. The parameter estimation problem was designed as a multi-objective optimisation problem. The method of scalarisation of the weighted sum was used. In this way, the multi-objective optimisation problem was converted to a single-objective one. The direct search method was used to solve the problem of obtaining the Pareto solution. In order to test the resulting solution, two batches of experimental data were additionally used. The obtained results showed that the model satisfactorily described the test data. The validated kinetic model can be used for optimal control of batch and fed-batch fermentation.

Shinobius

description: GenusShinobiusYaginuma, 1991
Type species.
Cispius orientalis Yaginuma, 1967.
Diagnosis.
Shinobius is similar to the South American genera Rhoicinus Simon, 1898 and Barrisca Chamberlin & Ivie, 1936, by the lack of the retrolateral tibial apophysis and having a very large subtegulum composing almost a half of the bulb. However, Shinobius can be separated from Rhoicinus and Barrisca by the cymbial tip shorter than the bulb and a strongly sclerotized posteroretrolateral part of the cymbium (vs. tip of cymbium longer than bulb, basal part of cymbium not modified) and by the presence of a median plate in the epigyne (vs. absent). Shinobius differs from other genera considered in the family by the lack of an extending retrolateral tibial apophysis.
Description.
Carapace brown. Eight eyes arranged in two rows, posterior row strongly protruding. Fovea longitudinal. Cervical groove indistinct, radial furrows distinct. Chelicerae yellow brown, with three promarginal and three retromarginal teeth. Endites and labium yellow brown, longer than wide. Sternum yellow brown, shield-shaped, with brown setae. Legs yellow brown, with black pigmentation. Leg formula: 4213. Opisthosoma oval. Dorsum yellow brown, with black brown markings. Venter yellowish-brown.
Male palp: tibia without extending retrolateral apophysis (RTA), but with strongly sclerotized kind of hood; cymbium droplet-shaped, with tip shorter than bulb, spines and claws present or absent; posteroretrolateral part strongly sclerotized (Cs, Fig. 3 B). Subtegulum large, almost half of bulb, with anterior margin slanting; median apophysis (Ma) short, located on retrolateral half of bulb; conductor finger-shaped, longer than wide; embolus with oval-shaped base, filamentous, round bent at about right angle, tip located close to tip of median apophysis.
Epigyne: epigynal plate slightly wider than long; with a wide septum in type species and round in S. cona sp. nov.; fovea divided by septum; septum terminates near epigastral fold.
Composition.
Shinobius cona sp. nov. and S. orientalis (Yaginuma, 1967).
Relationships.
Shinobius is the only genus of the family found far away from the rest of the genera which are distributed in the Neotropical Realm. Shinobius lacks a developed tibial apophysis (extending in from the tibia) but has instead a kind of hood with a strongly chitinized anterior margin lacking in other members of the family except for Rhoicinus. Based on this similarity and the shape of the bulb, Sierwald (1993) considered the two genera in a separate subfamily Rhoicinae Simon, 1898.
Distribution.
China (Xizang) and Japan (Fig. 4).

Only recently this species has been described from Nepal. The specimens reported here fit well the original description. Due to the yellow anterior frons, the yellow face, the shape of the surstylus and lamella (Papp 2013: 217, figs. 10–12) it is close to Meoneura flavifacies. Meoneura nepalensis is distinguished by the pointed tip of the surstylus and the indistinctly hook-shaped postgonite (Papp 2013: 217, figs. 14–15). One specimen has a distinct seta dorsobasally on the surstylus—this specimen resembles therefore Meoneura pseudoflavifacies Papp, 1997 but is distinguished by the shape of the postgonite.

description: Significant agricultural losses are caused by the phytopathogenic fungi Botrytis cinerea and Phytophthora infestans, as well as bacteria of the Ralstonia solanacearum species. The present work aimed to isolate rhizobacteria for simultaneous biocontrol of these three phytopathogenic species and to suggest the mechanisms of their antagonistic action. Among 120 Bacillus spp. isolated from soils, Bacillus velezensis and Bacillus licheniformis strains displayed the highest activity against all three phytopathogens. A rapid, polymerase chain reaction-based method for detecting nonribosomal peptide synthetase genes was developed to elucidate the genetic basis of these traits. The presence of fenA, srfAA, ppsA, and lchAA genes, encoding fengycin/surfactin/plipastatin synthetases and lichenysin synthase, was revealed in the strains’ genomes. The whole genome sequencing (WGS) of B. velezensis R22 showed that it contains 4,081,504 bp (with G + C content 46.35%), 4087 genes for 3935 proteins, 72 tRNAs, 14 rRNAs, and 5 ncRNAs. WGS allowed the prediction of 10 complete clusters for secondary metabolites with putative antimicrobial activity: difficidin, fengycin, bacillaene, butyrosin, bacillibactin, bacilysin, surfactin, macrolactin H, macrolactin R22, and velezensin. LC-MS and high-sensitivity UHPLC-Q-TOF LC-MS/MS analysis were used to search for the predicted metabolites in cell-free supernatants of B. velezensis R22. The compounds with the strongest antifungal activity are surfactin with a C15 β-OH fatty acid chain; two homologous forms of fengycin A; and two fengycin B homologues containing C16 and C17 β-hydroxy fatty acid chains. The broad antimicrobial spectrum of B. velezensis R22 and its molecular characterization provide a good basis for the future development of plant protection preparations.

Remarks: This species was treated and illustrated in Garrison & von Ellenrieder (2015). von Ellenrieder & Garrison (2007) followed by Heckman (2008) illustrated the appendages of a male in the RBINS with the manuscript name " lateralis " by Selys as A. huanacina. This is incorrect. Subsequent examination of these specimens showed the manuscript name lateralis Selys to represent A. infrequentula as can be seen by comparing Figs. 6 l-n from von Ellenrieder & Garrison (2007) and Fig. 3.1. 427 in Heckman (2008) to Figs. 10 l 2 and 10 p 2 in Garrison & von Ellenrieder (2015).
This species is most similar to A. selysi and is diagnosed under that species. Though largely allopatric with A. selysi, a male A. huanacina has been collected in southern Ecuador (Fig. 140) representing a new record for that country.

description: Safety is a critical aspect of the air transport system given even slight operational anomalies can result in serious consequences. To reduce the chances of aviation safety occurrences, accidents and incidents are reported to establish the root cause, propose safety recommendations etc. However, analysis narratives of the pre-accident events are presented using human-understandable, raw, unstructured, text that a computer system cannot understand. The ability to classify and categorise safety occurrences from their textual narratives would help aviation industry stakeholders make informed safety-critical decisions. To classify and categorise safety occurrences, we applied natural language processing (NLP) and AI (Artificial Intelligence) models to process text narratives. The study aimed to answer the question. How well can the damage level caused to the aircraft in a safety occurrence be inferred from the text narrative using natural language processing. The classification performance of various deep learning models including LSTM, BLSTM, GRU, sRNN, and combinations of these models including LSTM and GRU, BLSTM+GRU, sRNN and LSTM, sRNN and BLSTM, sRNN and GRU, sRNN and BLSTM and GRU, and sRNN and LSTM and GRU was evaluated on a set of 27,000 safety occurrence reports from the NTSB. The results of this study indicate that all models investigated performed competitively well recording an accuracy of over 87.9% which is well above the random guess of 25% for a four-class classification problem. Also, the models recorded high precision, recall, and F1 scores above 80%, 88%, and 85%, respectively. sRNN slightly outperformed other single models in terms of recall (90%) and accuracy (90%) while LSTM reported slightly better performance in terms of precision (87%).

description: Polygalacturonase inhibiting proteins (PGIPs) are typical leucine-rich repeat (LRR) proteins that inhibit the activity of polygalacturonase (PG) in pathogens, but their function in promoting to plant stem development has been less studied. In this study, the PGIP gene from Zea mays was cloned and heterologously expressed in Arabidopsis thaliana, and then the plant phenotypes were observed and a set of physiological and biochemical indicators were measured. The results indicate that the ZmPGIP1 protein is expressed both in the cell membrane and cell wall. Our research observed that the heterologous expression of ZmPGIP1 significantly increased the production of lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose in transgenic lines. The stems of transgenic plants also showed a thicker cortical tissue. The increase in lignin deposition observed during histochemical staining suggests that the ZmPGIP1 gene may improve plant mechanical strength. These were tightly associated with the upregulated expression of lignin/cellulose-synthesis genes (C4H, C3H, F5H, PAL1/3, CCR1, CAD1-3/9, CCOMT, MYB58, CESA1/10) to enhance plant cell wall strength in transgenic lines. Our findings provide new perspectives on the growth regulation mechanisms of PGIP proteins in plant cell walls and provide a potential candidate gene for breeding increased disease-resistance and higher cellulose production in plants.

description: The colchicine induction of Nannochloropsis oculata is potential strategy to augment the biomass and pigment because of its production is currently low. This approach is particularly appealing due to microalga’s recognized health and economic value. Therefore, this study aimed to systematically investigate the impact of colchicine induction that may cause polyploidy, on the biomass, pigment production, and DNA content of N. oculata. Optimal colchicine induction was examined at concentrations of 0, 10, 100, 1,000, and 10,000 mg L−1 to over 24, 48, and 72 h incubation period. Subsequent investigations were conducted at 48 h treatment duration, which was determined as optimal based on preliminary experiments. Microalgae were cultivated under controlled conditions using sterilized seawater, a continuous light source, and aeration with nutrient supplementation. The results showed that the group subjected to colchicine induction at the lowest concentration over 48 h showed the greatest cell size, DNA content, chlorophyll, and carotenoid levels. Induction at 1,000 mg L−1 for the same 48-h period increased biomass and pigment production while cell size remained unaltered. The results suggested that applying colchicine might result in more giant cell and genome size in N. oculata, indicative of potential polyploidy. A dose of 1,000 mg L−1, while failing to cause changes in genome size, facilitated the augmentation of pigment and biomass production. These characteristics provided opportunities for further study and exploitation.

description: Safety is the main concern in the aviation industry, where even minor operational issues can lead to serious consequences. This study addresses the need for comprehensive aviation accident analysis by leveraging natural language processing (NLP) and advanced AI models to classify the phase of flight from unstructured aviation accident analysis narratives. The research aims to determine whether the phase of flight can be inferred from narratives of post-accident events using NLP techniques. The classification performance of various deep learning models was evaluated. For single RNN-based models, LSTM achieved an accuracy of 63%, precision 60%, and recall 61%. BiLSTM recorded an accuracy of 64%, precision 63%, and a recall of 64%. GRU exhibited balanced performance with an accuracy and recall of 60% and a precision of 63%. Joint RNN-based models further enhanced predictive capabilities. GRU-LSTM, LSTM-BiLSTM, and GRU-BiLSTM demonstrated accuracy rates of 62%, 67%, and 60%, respectively, showcasing the benefits of combining these architectures. To provide a comprehensive overview of model performance, single and combined models were compared in terms of the various metrics. These results underscore the models' capacity to classify the phase of flight from raw text narratives, equipping aviation industry stakeholders with valuable insights for proactive decision-making.

description: The orthopedic manipulation of bone drilling is performed during the osteosynthesis of bone fractures. It is characterized by a set of input and output parameters. The temperature in the tool-bone interaction zone is one of the most important output parameters of the drilling process. The increase in temperature above a certain threshold causes thermal osteonecrosis of bone cells and all the resulting negative consequences. This work presents a way of drill-bit upper limit temperature calculation during robotized bone drilling process. The temperature estimation and temperature calculation methodology is based on the energy conversion in the bone-robot system, preserving the overall energy balance according to the universal energy conservation law. The bone drilling is performed by using of robot ODRO. Fresh porcine femur bones are used as specimens in the experiments which validate the theoretical results. The real time temperature data during drilling are obtained using a non-contact temperature sensor. A computational approach is developed for estimating the temperature in the drilling zone on the base of the obtained data.The temperature estimation data can be used to control of the cutting condition during a robotic bone drilling process in order to obtain an optimal outcome.

The reported specimen keys out to Meoneura polita with the key of Sabrosky (1959) and fits quite well the genital drawing, but the ventral margin of the surstylus is slightly convex and not concave as shown in the drawing of Sabrosky (1959: 21, Fig.3). Meoneura polita has not been reported from Argentina before.

description: The application of aerobic denitrifying bacteria in biological nitrogen removal has been of great interest. However, the mechanism of nitrogen conversion by aerobic denitrifying bacteria is unclear due to the lack of stoichiometry and kinetic studies. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the stoichiometry and kinetics of aerobic denitrification using Pseudomonas mosselii H6 as a model strain. The results showed that the stoichiometric equations of strain H6 under different nitrogen source conditions were obtained by nitrogen balance analysis; the concentrations of different limiting substrates were set and combined with the multi-substrate Monod kinetic equation to fit the half-saturation constants of COD, ammonia, nitrate and nitrite nitrogen for strain H6, which were 230.1008, 25.3435, 4.1009 and 23.4601 mg/L, respectively; based on the model of “two-step denitrification”, the numerical simulation of the growth and aerobic denitrification of strain H6 under different limiting substrate concentrations was carried out by using AQUASIM software to test the validity of stoichiometric coefficients and kinetic constants and perfect fitting results were obtained. These parameters will help to simulate the growth and denitrification performance of aerobic denitrifying bacteria and provide an experimental basis for further quantitatively elucidating the mechanism of action in the aerobic denitrification process.

description: We designed this study to identify potential diagnostic and prognostic markers for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Four gene expression profiles were downloaded from GEO and merged into a training cohort, and those genes that were differentially expressed between LUAD and normal samples were selected. We performed LASSO regression, SVM-RFE, and ROC curve analyses, and external validations were conducted using the GSE115002 dataset, TCGA + GTEx datasets, and tissue microarrays (TMAs) of 56 patients with LUAD from our hospital. Subsequent analyses included survival analyses, Cox regression, CIBERSORT, CCK-8, colony formation, and flow cytometry analyses. We observed that the expression of SH3GL2, CAV1, and GPC3 was reduced in LUAD samples in comparison to normal samples. Therefore, these genes were identified as diagnostic markers for LUAD, and validated using the GSE115002 and TCGA + GTEx datasets (AUC > 0.86 for all three). Notably, lower GPC3 expression levels were associated with worse prognoses. And GPC3 is an independent prognostic factor for LUAD; TMA analysis confirmed low GPC3 expression in tumors. Moreover, GPC3 overexpression inhibited cell viability and clonality but not cell apoptosis. In conclusion, we infer that GPC3 could serve as both a diagnostic and prognostic marker for LUAD.

description: SPARC is an acidic, cysteine-rich, calcium-binding member of the non-collagen glycoproteins originating in bone. Although implicated in the development of several cancers, the functions and mechanisms of SPARC remain unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate whether smooth muscle cell (SMC)-associated SPARC acts an important tumour suppressor in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). SPARC inhibits immune evasion in LUAD by suppressing CD276 functionality. We downloaded RNA-sequencing data from patients with LUAD in The Cancer Genome Atlas and identified a set of genes showing SMC-specific expression in these samples. We then screened for differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Enrichment analysis using the Gene Expression Omnibus identified key genes, while immune pathway analysis explored the expression of immune checkpoints involved in LUAD immune regulation. We further validated the differential expression of SPARC and CD276 using immunohistochemistry. Among the upregulated DEGs, SPARC exhibited high enrichment in SMCs, whereas 13 immune checkpoints, such as LAIR1 and CTLA4, were excluded. The infiltration level of the CD276 immune checkpoint was lower in the high-risk group than in the low-risk group. While our results suggest a correlation between SPARC, CD276 and LUAD, additional studies are needed to validate these findings and elucidate the underlying mechanisms before definitive conclusions can be drawn regarding their utility in clinical practice.

description: The global dissemination of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron variants has been characterized by a distinct 9-base pair (bp) deletion within the nucleocapsid (N) gene, a genomic feature absent in previously circulating variants. In response to this unique characteristic, we have developed an innovative amplicon-competition strategy to differentiate Omicron lineages from other SARS-CoV-2 variants using a real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay. This novel methodology demonstrates high specificity and sensitivity, effectively detecting viral loads ranging from 1500 to 1.5x106 copies per milliliter in nasopharyngeal swab specimens. The potential applications of this approach extend beyond current needs, providing a robust framework for the genomic characterization of future variants exhibiting unique genetic signatures.
