Καλλιέργεια λυκίσκου

description: Η καλλιέργεια λυκίσκου (Humulus lupulus L.) στην Ελλάδα, παρόλο την δυνατότητα αποδοτικής καλλιέργειας και ευδοκίμησης, δεν είναι διαδεδομένη και σχεδόν εκλείπει, όπως επίσης και η επιστημονική έρευνα στο πεδίο αυτό, προσανατολισμένη στο μεσογειακό κλίμα της Ελλάδας. Με την ραγδαία αύξηση της βιομηχανίας χειροποίητου ζύθου σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο αλλά και στην Ελλάδα, το ενδιαφέρον για καλλιέργεια λυκίσκου αυξάνεται, τόσο για την εγχώρια αγορά όσο και για εξαγωγές, καθιστώντας την καλλιέργεια λυκίσκου μια υποσχόμενη επένδυση. Σκοπός αυτής της μεταπτυχιακής διατριβής είναι η μελέτη, η επισκόπηση επιστημονική βιβλιογραφίας της καλλιέργειας λυκίσκου και η συγγραφή ενός οδηγού καλλιέργειας στην Ελλάδα. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, ο σκοπός της μελέτης είναι η εκτίμηση της ευδοκίμησης του φυτού στο μεσογειακό κλίμα της Ελλάδας, των ευκαιριών και περιορισμών που παρουσιάζει η καλλιέργεια λυκίσκου στην Ελλάδα, η παρουσίαση των βοτανικών και χημικών χαρακτηριστικών του φυτού, του τρόπου και των βημάτων της εγκατάστασης της καλλιέργειας, της διαχείρισης της καλλιέργειας, της αναλυτικής περιγραφής των καλλιεργητικών τεχνικών, των επεξεργασιών των κώνων του λυκίσκου και η εκτίμηση των οικονομικών στοιχείων της επένδυσης, όπως του κόστους επένδυσης, των στρεμματικών αποδόσεων και του πιθανού γεωργικού εισοδήματος με βάση ελληνικά δεδομένα.

description: Green hydrogen can help to decarbonize parts of the transportation sector, but its power sector interactions are not well understood so far. It may contribute to integrating variable renewable energy sources if production is sufficiently flexible in time. Using an open-source co-optimization model of the power sector and four options for supplying hydrogen at German filling stations, we find a trade-off between energy efficiency and temporal flexibility. For lower shares of renewables and hydrogen, more energy-efficient and less flexible small-scale on-site electrolysis is optimal. For higher shares of renewables and/or hydrogen, more flexible but less energy-efficient large-scale hydrogen supply chains gain importance, as they allow to temporally disentangle hydrogen production from demand via storage. Liquid hydrogen emerges as particularly beneficial, followed by liquid organic hydrogen carriers and gaseous hydrogen. Large-scale hydrogen supply chains can deliver substantial power sector benefits, mainly through reduced renewable curtailment. Energy modelers and system planners should consider the distinct flexibility characteristics of hydrogen supply chains in more detail when assessing the role of green hydrogen in future energy transition scenarios. We also propose two alternative cost and emission metrics which could be useful in future analyses.

description: We study a one-step approach to the fast generation of Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states in a circuit QED system with superconducting flux qubits. The GHZ state can be generated in about 10 ns, which is much shorter than the coherence time of flux qubits and comparable with the time of single-qubit operation. In our proposal, a time-dependent microwave field is applied to a superconducting transmission line resonator (TLR) and displaces the resonator in a controlled manner, thus inducing indirect qubit-qubit coupling without residual entanglement between the qubits and the resonator. The design of a tunably coupled TLR circle array provides us with the potential for extending this one-step scheme to the case of many qubits coupled via several TLRs.

description: Die Metallopeptidasen APN, NEP und DPPIV besitzen als Bestandteile von Membranmikrodomänen auch eine enzymunabhängige Funktion. Mittels durchflusszytometrischer FRET-Messung zeigten wir eine Kolokoalisation zwischen APN und Fc-Rezeptoren-I und -II auf U937- und THP-1-Zellen, zwischen APN und HLA-DR auf U937-Zellen und zwischen APN und CD11b/CD18 auf THP-1-Zellen. Die Bestätigung der Klolokalisation zwischen APN und CD32 erfolgte mittels Koimmunopräzipitation auf THP-1-Zellen. Auf U937-Zellen führte die Stimulation mit TPA zur signifikanten Steigerung der Expression von CD13 und CD64, aber nicht von HLA-DR. Der Abstand zwischen CD13 und HLA DR verringerte sich, während der Abstand zwischen Fc-Rezeptor-II und-I und APN gleich geblieben ist. Auf THP-1-Zellen führte die Stimulation mit IL-4 zur Steigerung der Expression von APN, Wegrücken der CD13 von CD64 und Hinrücken der CD13 zu CD32. FRET-Messung mit FACS ist geeignet zur Untersuchung der Beziehungen auf der Zelloberfläche.
description: The metallopeptidases APN, NEP and DPPIV have enzyme-independent functions in the membrane and are constituents of membrane microdomains. Using flow cytometric FRET measurements, we were able to demonstrate a colocalization between APN and Fc receptors-I and -II on U937-and THP-1-cells, between APN and HLA-DR on U937 cells and between APN and CD11b/CD18 on THP-1-cells. The relationship between APN and CD32 was able to be confirmed with co-immunoprecipitation on THP-1-cells. Th e stimulation with TPA on U937 cells, led to a significant increase in expression of CD13 and CD64, but not of HLA-DR. e distance between CD13 and HLA DR decreased, while the distance between Fc receptor II and -I and APN remained the same. Th e stimulation with IL-4 on THP-1-cells, led to increase in expression of APN, moving away the CD13 from CD64 and moving the CD13 to CD32. FRET measurement with FACS is suitable for examination of the relationships on cell surface.

description: In a pandemic with a novel disease, disease-specific prognosis models are available only with a delay. To bridge the critical early phase, models built for similar diseases might be applied. To test the accuracy of such a knowledge transfer, we investigated how precise lethal courses in critically ill COVID-19 patients can be predicted by a model trained on critically ill non-COVID-19 viral pneumonia patients. We trained gradient boosted decision tree models on 718 (245 deceased) non-COVID-19 viral pneumonia patients to predict individual ICU mortality and applied it to 1054 (369 deceased) COVID-19 patients. Our model showed a significantly better predictive performance (AUROC 0.86 [95% CI 0.86–0.87]) than the clinical scores APACHE2 (0.63 [95% CI 0.61–0.65]), SAPS2 (0.72 [95% CI 0.71–0.74]) and SOFA (0.76 [95% CI 0.75–0.77]), the COVID-19-specific mortality prediction models of Zhou (0.76 [95% CI 0.73–0.78]) and Wang (laboratory: 0.62 [95% CI 0.59–0.65]; clinical: 0.56 [95% CI 0.55–0.58]) and the 4C COVID-19 Mortality score (0.71 [95% CI 0.70–0.72]). We conclude that lethal courses in critically ill COVID-19 patients can be predicted by a machine learning model trained on non-COVID-19 patients. Our results suggest that in a pandemic with a novel disease, prognosis models built for similar diseases can be applied, even when the diseases differ in time courses and in rates of critical and lethal courses.

description: Abietanditerpene (AD) bilden eine vielfältige Gruppe von spezialisierten Pflanzenmetaboliten. Das Hauptziel der Doktorarbeit war die Untersuchung der katalytischen Rolle von Cytochrom-P450-Enzymen (CYP) in den Stoffwechselwegen von oxidierten ADs aus Lippenblütengewächsen. Im Zuge dessen wurden zuvor charakterisierte Ferruginolsynthasen in Hefe getestet und als Hydroxyferruginolsynthasen charakterisiert. Durch Identifikation von C20-Oxidasen und deren Co-Expression mit Hydroxyferruginolsynthasen konnte die Carnosinsäurebiosynthese in Hefe rekonstruiert werden. Um die enzymatische Aktivität der CYP-Enzyme in der AD-Biosynthese aus Lippenblütlern besser zu verstehen, wurden Kandidaten aus Rosmarin und Salbei genauer charakterisiert. Eine Expression allein oder in Kombination miteinander katalysierte die Bildung von 14 oxidierten ADs in Hefe. Außerdem enthält diese Doktorarbeit eine umfassende Übersicht der CYP-Enzyme, die zu pflanzlichen Diterpenstoffwechselwegen beitragen.
description: Abietane diterpenes (AD) are a diverse group of specialized plant metabolites. The main aim of the present thesis was to investigate the catalytic role of cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP) in the oxidation of ADs from the Lamiaceae. In the course of this, previously characterized ferruginol synthases were tested in yeast and characterized as hydroxy ferruginol synthases. By identification of C20 oxidases and their co-expression with hydroxy ferruginol synthases, the carnosic acid biosynthesis was reconstituted in yeast. To further explore the enzymatic activities of CYPs in AD biosynthesis from Lamiaceae, candidates from rosemary and sage were characterized in more detail. Expressed alone or in combination they catalyzed the formation of 14 oxidized ADs in yeast. Furthermore, this thesis gives a comprehensive survey of CYPs related to plant diterpene pathways.
The Mitigation Doctrine - A Proposal For Its Regulation In Brazil

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The “duty to mitigate loss” doctrine has been the object of study in many jurisdictions, which have interpreted and applied it in a wide range of situations and in different ways. In Brazil, however, only recent discussions have brought light to this subject. Worldwide, researchers have debated its nature – whether a duty or a principle – and the most proper way to address it (e.g.: if duty to mitigate loss or damages; duty to rescue; avoidable consequences doctrine). Studies have also detailed its application in different situations, such as in contracts and torts, among suppliers, consumers, and national and international commerce, for instance. Ultimately, responding to the shift for globalized relations involving parties from different jurisdictions, the development of the doctrine and its standardization by Common Law courts, Civil Law codifications and international rules have allowed emerging countries to take advantage of the lessons learnt in more experienced systems and helped them regulate their own in the most suitable form. The purpose of this research is to provide an in-depth study of the “duty to mitigate loss” – from its origin to its current application in selected jurisdictions – so as to comprehensively come up with a proposition that is sufficiently adequate to fill the Brazilian legal framework gap diagnosed with respect to its effective regulation.

description: Detecting levels of interest from speakers is a new problem in Spoken Dialog Understanding with significant impact on real world business applications. Previous work has focused on the analysis of traditional acoustic signals and shallow lexical features. In this paper, we present a novel hierarchical fusion learning model that takes feedback from previous multistream predictions of prominent seed samples into account and uses a mean cosine similarity measure to learn rules that improve reclassification. Our method is domain-independent and can be adapted to
other speech and language processing areas where domain adaptation is expensive to perform. Incorporating Discriminative Term Frequency
and Inverse Document Frequency (DTFIDF), lexical affect scoring, and low and high level prosodic and acoustic features, our experiments outperform the published results of all systems participating in the 2010 Interspeech Paralinguistic Affect Subchallenge.
Design for reuse of existing buildings applied to the Canada- France-Hawaii-Telescope structure
Creators: name: Angers, Mathieu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Reusing structures is a complex process. However, it can provide significant economic, social and environmental benefits. The reuse of structures requires their prior structural evaluation. This document presents a methodology to evaluate the possibility of reusing an existing structure through a case study of the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT), located in on Mauna Kea Volcano, Hawaii. The operators of the CFHT mandated a research group with members from the University of British Columbia and Empire Dynamic Structures to evaluate the possibility of having the current pier building support the mass and configuration of a proposed new telescope. The original pier was designed in 1974, and thus it was necessary to verify if the structure would meet current codes, particularly those of seismic requirements. The current telescope has a diameter of 3.6 m and the new design would be a 10 or 12 m instrument. The methodology was used to perform a structural evaluation of the CFHT pier building supporting the new CFHT telescope. From the analysis, the following points were concluded: • The bending moment and shear capacities were found to be high enough to resist resulting forces of the proposed new structure. Required steel reinforcement in the walls and slabs of the pier building are comparable to those found in the current structure. They were judged to be sufficient for supporting the new telescope. • The footing structural resistance was found to be satisfactory. Also, differential settlements were found to be under an acceptable level. • The soil bearing capacity was evaluated by Dames & Moore (1973) to be 191 kPa. Under gravity loads, the pressure induced by the footings was considered to be satisfactory. However, in an earthquake condition, the design bearing capacity of the soil is commonly assumed to be 33% greater than in a static condition due to the dynamic nature of the loading. With this assumption, the capacity of the soils is found to be satisfactory. However, it is recommended that there be further geotechnical soil and foundation evaluation. It is concluded the CFHT pier can be reused for the installation of the proposed new telescope.

description: Text-to-scene conversion requires knowledge about how actions and locations are expressed in language and realized in the world. To provide this knowlege, we are creating a lexical resource (VigNet) that extends FrameNet by creating a set of intermediate frames (vignettes) that bridge between the high-level semantics of FrameNet frames and a new set of low-level primitive graphical frames. Vignettes can be thought of as a link between function and form – between what a scene means and what it looks like. In this paper, we describe the set of primitive graphical frames and the functional properties of 3D objects (affordances) we use in this decomposition. We examine the methods and tools we have developed to populate VigNet with a large number of action and location vignettes.

Η έρευνα αυτή προάγει τη συσχέτιση των τεχνικών αυθόρμητου θεάτρου στην εκπαίδευση ως διεργασία για δημιουργία υψηλών ποιοτικά συνδέσεων μεταξύ των μελών μιας ομάδας και την ανάπτυξη δεξιοτήτων. Τα αποτελέσματα συμβάλουν στην έρευνα των Dutton & Heaphy (2003), οι οποίοι προτείνουν ότι μέσω της δημιουργίας υψηλών ποιοτικά συνδέσεων, προάγεται η κατανόηση των διαδικασιών που δομούν τη σχέση καθώς και τους γνωστικούς, συμπεριφορικούς και συναισθηματικούς μηχανισμούς που αποτελούν το πλαίσιο για δημιουργία αίσθησης ασφάλειας στα μέλη της ομάδας και θετικής στάσης σε μαθησιακές συμπεριφορές (Carmeli, Brueller & Dutton, 2009). Η χρήση τεχνικών αυθόρμητου θεάτρου, ως εκπαιδευτική μέθοδος και ταυτόχρονα ως μορφή παραστατικής τέχνης, διαφοροποιείται από τα επικρατούντα υποδείγματα διδακτικής. Έτσι, η εκπαιδευτική διεργασία βασιζόμενη στη μετασχηματίζουσα μάθηση, επιχειρεί, ως αναδυόμενη μεθοδολογία βασισμένη στις τέχνες, να αναπτύξει δεξιότητες σε ομάδα ενηλίκων. Ο σχεδιασμός αυτής της μελέτης πεδίου βασίστηκε στη χρήση πολλαπλών ερευνητικών μεθόδων (mixed methodologies) για την επικύρωση των ερευνητικών αποτελεσμάτων. Η μεταθετιστική αυτή επιστημολογική προσέγγιση τυποποιείται από την ιδέα του τριγωνισμού καθώς η σύγκληση των πολλαπλών ευρημάτων «ενισχύει την πεποίθησή μας πως τα αποτελέσματα είναι έγκυρα και όχι ένα μεθοδολογικό κατασκεύασμα» (Bouchard, 1976:268 · Πουρκός, 2013:67).

description: In this paper, we approach the problem of classifying emotion in image descriptions. A method is proposed to perform 6-way emotion classification and is tested against two labeled datasets: a corpus of blog posts mined from LiveJournal and a corpus of descriptive texts of computer generated scenes. We perform feature selection using the mRMR technique and then use a multi-class linear predictor to classify posts among the Ekman Big Six emotions (happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, fear, and disgust). We find that TFIDF scores on lexical features and LIWC scores are much more helpful in emotion classification than using scores calculated from existing sentiment dictionaries, and that our proposed method performs significantly better than a baseline classifier that chooses the majority class. On the blog posts, we achieve 40% accuracy, and on the corpus of image descriptions, we achieve up to 63% accuracy.

description: Pferde können aufgrund ihres Einsatzes als Sportpartner und einer damit einhergehenden Versorgung mit faserarmen aber Kohlenhydratreichen Rationen gastrointestinale Dysbiosen entwickeln. Die Fütterung von Präbiotika zielt dabei auf eine Stabilisierung der autochthonen Mikroflora ab und könnte einer solchen Ausbildung entgegenwirken. In den vorliegenden Untersuchungen wurde ein natürliches Präbiotikum (Topinamburmehl) an gesunde Pferde gefüttert. Zusammenfassend zeigen die Ergebnisse einen Einfluss des Präbiotikums auf die Mikrobiota im gesamten equinen Verdauungstrakt, sowohl hinsichtlich der Abundanz als auch hinsichtlich des bakteriellen Metabolismus. Des Weiteren wurde auch die glykämische und insulinämische Response nach der Fütterung des Topinambur positiv beeinflusst. Dennoch sollte der bereits im vorderen Gastrointestinaltrakt beginnende Abbau der Inulin-Typ-Fruktane kritisch diskutiert werden, weil dies negative Folgen für die Gesundheit der Magenschleimhaut nach sich ziehen könnte. Die autochthone Mikrobiota im Dickdarmbereich, bevorzugtes Ziel der Supplementierung ist, zeigte nur marginale Veränderungen.
description: Horses are able to develop gastrointestinal disturbances due to their usage as sport partners and their feeding with low fibre and high carbohydrates diets. The feeding of prebiotics aims to stabilize the autochthonous microbiota and to prevent such dysbiosis. Healthy horses were fed with a natural prebiotic (Jerusalem artichoke meal) in the present study. Summarizing, the results show an impact of the supplemental prebiotic on the microbiota in the entire gastrointestinal tract, both concerning the abundance and the bacterial metabolism. Furthermore, the glycaemic and insulinaemic response was positively influenced after the supplemental feeding of Jerusalem artichoke meal. Nevertheless, the starting degradation of the inulin type fructans in the foregut are critically seen due to their possible negative impact on the gastric mucosa. The autochthonous microbiota in the hindgut, preferred aim, showed only marginal impacts.

description: We examine an Unruh-DeWitt particle detector coupled to a scalar field in three-dimensional curved spacetime. We first obtain a regulator-free expression for the transition probability in an arbitrary Hadamard state, working within first-order perturbation theory and assuming smooth switching, and we show that both the transition probability and the instantaneous transition rate remain well defined in the sharp switching limit. We then analyse a detector coupled to a massless conformally coupled field in the Hartle-Hawking vacua on the Banados-Teitelboim-Zanelli black hole, under both transparent and reflective boundary conditions at the infinity. A selection of stationary and freely-falling detector trajectories are examined, including the co-rotating trajectories, for which the response is shown to be thermal. Analytic results in a number of asymptotic regimes, including those of large and small mass, are complemented by numerical results in the interpolating regimes. The boundary condition at infinity is seen to have a significant effect on the transition rate.

description: We explore the ability to perform automatic prosodic analysis in one language using models trained on another. If we are successful, we should be able to identify prosodic elements in a language for which little or no prosodically labeled training data is available, using models trained on a language for which such training data exists. Given the laborious nature of manual prosodic annotation, such a process would vastly improve our ability to identify prosodic events in many languages and therefore to make use of such information in downstream processing tasks. The task we address here is the detection of intonational prominence, performing experiments using material from four languages: American English, Italian, French and German. While we do find that cross-language prominence detection is possible, we also find significant language-dependent differences. While we hypothesized that language family might serve as a reliable predictor of cross-language prosodic event detection accuracy, in our experiments this did not prove to be the case. Based upon our results, we suggest some directions that may be able to improve our cross-language approach.

description: In this paper, we investigate how people construct clarification questions. Our goal is to develop similar strategies for handling errors in automatic spoken dialogue systems in order to make error recovery strategies more efficient. Using a crowd-sourcing tool [7], we collect a dataset of user responses to clarification questions when presented with sentences in which some words are missing. We find that, in over 60% of cases, users choose to continue the conversation without asking a clarification question. However, when users do ask a question, our findings support earlier research showing that users are more likely to ask a targeted clarification question than a generic question. Using the dataset we have collected, we
are exploring machine learning approaches for determining which system responses are most appropriate in different contexts and developing strategies for constructing clarification questions.

description: In the theory of structure formation, galaxies are biased tracers of the underlying matter density field. The statistical relation between galaxy and matter density field is commonly referred as galaxy bias. In this paper, we test the linear bias model with weak-lensing and galaxy clustering measurements in the 2 square degrees COSMOS field (Scoville et al. 2007). We estimate the bias of galaxies between redshifts z=0.2 and z=1, and over correlation scales between R=0.2 h^-1 Mpc and R=15 h^-1 Mpc. We focus on three galaxy samples, selected in flux (simultaneous cuts I_814W < 26.5 and K_s < 24), and in stellar-mass (10^9 < M_* < 10^10 h^-2 Msun and 10^10 < M^*< 10^11 h^-2 Msun). At scales R > 2 h^-1 Mpc, our measurements support a model of bias increasing with redshift. The Tinker et al. (2010) fitting function provides a good fit to the data. We find the best fit mass of the galaxy halos to be log(M_200 h^-1 Msun) = 11.7^+0.6_-1.3 and log(M_200 h^-1 Msun) = 12.4^+0.2_-2.9 respectively for the low and high stellar-mass samples. In the halo model framework, bias is scale-dependent with a change of slope at the transition scale between the one and the two halo terms. We detect a scale-dependence of bias with a turn-down at scale R=2.3\pm1.5 h^-1 Mpc, in agreement with previous galaxy clustering studies. We find no significant amount of stochasticity, suggesting that a linear bias model is sufficient to describe our data. We use N-body simulations to quantify both the amount of cosmic variance and systematic errors in the measurement.

description: We describe models of prosodic phrasing trained on multiple languages to identify boundaries in an unseen language. Our goal is to create models from High Resource languages, in which hand-annotated prosodic phrase boundaries are available, to use in identifying boundaries in a Low Resource language, with little or no training material. We train models on American English, Italian, Mandarin, and German and test on each of these languages. We find that, while pause is the most important feature for phrase boundary prediction in all languages examined, the role of pause in boundary identification varies by annotator and the relative importance of other features varies significantly by language. We also find that different acoustic correlates of prosodic boundaries characterize different languages. In some, the relative importance of features is silence is greater than pitch is greater than intensity is greater than duration, while for other languages intensity is more important than pitch. These differences do not appear to be attributable to language family, since, e.g. English and German display different patterns.

description: We outline ongoing work on WordsEye, a text-to-scene generation system. While WordsEye (Coyne and Sproat, 2001) currently recognizes descriptions of simple spatial relations between objects, we are aiming to add support for complex actions, events and states-of-affairs. To this end we use frame-based representations for both asserted and terminological knowledge. The resulting scenes are static spatial arrangements of pre-existing 3D models.

description: A long-standing puzzle in charm physics is the large difference between the D0 -> K+ K- and D0 -> pi+ pi- decay rates. Recently, the LHCb and CDF collaborations reported a surprisingly large difference between the direct CP asymmetries, Delta A_CP, in these two modes. We show that the two puzzles are naturally related in the Standard Model via s- and d-quark "penguin contractions". Their sum gives rise to Delta A_CP, while their difference contributes to the two branching ratios with opposite sign. Assuming nominal SU(3) breaking, a U-spin fit to the D0 -> K+ pi-, pi+ K-, pi+ pi-, K+ K- decay rates yields large penguin contractions that naturally explain Delta A_CP. Expectations for the individual CP asymmetries are also discussed.

description: When training semantic role labeling systems, the syntax of example sentences is of particular importance. Unfortunately, for the FrameNet annotated sentences, there is no standard parsed version. The integration of the automatic parse of an annotated sentence with its semantic annotation, while conceptually straightforward, is complex in practice. We present a standard dataset that is publicly available and that can be used in future research. This dataset contains parser-generated dependency structures (with POS tags and lemmas) for all FrameNet 1.5 sentences, with nodes automatically associated with FrameNet annotations.

description: Trockenheit beeinträchtigt pflanzliche Wachstums- und Entwicklungsprozesse und führt besonders bei Gerste (Hordeum vulgare) und anderen Getreidearten zu massiven Ernteverlusten. Dabei ist die Angepasstheit einzelner Sorten an Trockenstress je nach Herkunft ganz unterschiedlich. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht den Einfluss von Trockenstress zwischen Tadmor, einem trockentolerantem Kultivar und Scarlett, einem trockensensitiven Kultivar. Die physiologischen Analysen (PSII-Effizienz, relativer Chlorophyllgehalt) und die Expressionsanalyse von Marker-Genen für Trockenstress (HvA1) und Seneszenz (HvS40) bestätigen die verzögerte trockenstress-induzierte Blattseneszenz in Tadmor. Microarray-Analysen ergaben transkriptionelle Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede zwischen beiden Kultivaren. Neue Trockenstress-Kandidaten-Gene aus der Gruppe der Transkriptionsregulatoren und der Polyamine wurden identifiziert und ihre mögliche Funktion in der Ausbildung der Trockentoleranz diskutiert.
description: Growth and development processes of plants are highly affected by drought stress and lead to massive loss of yield especially for barley (Hordeum vulgare) and other crop plants. Thereby the adaption of individual species to drought is very different depending on their origin. The present study investigates the influence of drought stress between Tadmor, a drought tolerant cultivar and Scarlett, a drought sensitive cultivar. The physiological measurements (PSII-efficiency, relative chlorophyll content) and the expression analyses of marker genes for drought stress (HvA1) and senescence (HvS40) confirmed the delayed drought stress-induced leaf senescence of Tadmor. Microarray analyses revealed transcriptional similarities and the differences between the two cultivars. New candidate genes for drought stress from the group of transcriptional regulators and polyamines were identified and their potential role in the development of drought tolerance was discussed.

description: We explore the ability to perform automatic prosodic analysis in one language using models trained on another. If we are successful, we should be able to identify prosodic elements in a language for which little or no prosodically labeled training data is available, using models trained on a language for which such training data exists. Given the laborious nature of manual prosodic annotation, such a process would vastly improve our ability to identify prosodic events in many languages and therefore to make use of such information in downstream processing tasks. The task we address here is the detection of intonational prominence, performing experiments using material from four languages: American English, Italian, French and German. While we do find that cross-language prominence detection is possible, we also find significant language-dependent differences. While we hypothesized that language family might serve as a reliable predictor of cross-language prosodic event detection accuracy, in our experiments this did not prove to be the case. Based upon our results, we suggest some directions that may be able to improve our cross-language approach.

description: Hybridpflanzen sind in der Pflanzenzüchtung aufgrund der Heterosis, der besseren Leistung von Hybriden im Vergleich zu ihren Inzucht-Eltern, wichtig. Da die Vorhersage der Hybridleistung für Züchter von größtem Interesse ist, wurde die Effizienz zweier Vorhersagemodelle für sieben agronomische Merkmale in Sommerraps (Brassica napus L.) getestet. Umfassende omics-Datensätze einschließlich zeitlich aufgelöster Phänotypen, Transkript- und Metabolitprofile wurden für einen Satz von 477 Rapslinien generiert und einzeln und in Kombinationen auf ihre prädiktiven Fähigkeiten hin untersucht. Ein ungleicher Beitrag der Subgenomexpression zur Biomassebildung wurde ebenfalls aufgedeckt. Multi-omics genomweite Assoziationsstudien zeigten quantitative Trait-Loci (QTL) mit ausgeprägten Hotspots sowie Ko-Lokalisationen von QTL über die omics-Ebenen hinweg. Die Analyse vier wachstumsbezogener Merkmale und abgeleiteter Wachstumsraten mittels täglicher Phänotypisierung ergab, dass frühes Pflanzenwachstum von mehreren mittleren und vielen kleinen Effektloci bestimmt wird, die meistens nur während kurzer Entwicklungsphasen wirken.
description: Hybrid plants are important in plant breeding due to heterosis, the superior performance of hybrids compared to their inbred parents. As the prediction of hybrid performance is of utmost interest to breeders, the effectiveness of two prediction models was tested using seven agronomic traits in spring-type oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.). Extensive omics data sets including time-resolved phenotypes, transcript and metabolite profiles were generated for a set of 477 rapeseed lines and evaluated, individually and in combinations for their predictive abilities. An unequal contribution of subgenome expression to biomass formation was also uncovered. Multi-omics genome-wide association studies revealed quantitative trait loci (QTL) with pronounced hotspots, as well as co-localisations of QTL across the omics layers. The analysis of four growth-related traits and derived growth rates using daily phenotyping revealed that early plant growth is governed by several medium and many small effect loci, most of which act only during short developmental phases.

description: We explain a form for the rainbow-ladder kernel whose momentum-dependence is consonant with modern DSE- and lattice-QCD results, and assess its capability as a tool in hadron physics. In every respect tested, this form produces results for observables that are at least equal to the best otherwise obtained in a comparable approach. Moreover, it enables the natural extraction of a monotonic running-coupling and -gluon-mass.

Sonic Virtues in Contemporary Egyptian Sufism

Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: Religion
Aesthetics

description: The paper analyses the performance of inshād and samʿa within the collective haḍra ritual of a contemporary Egyptian brotherhood, with the aim of describing how Sufi disciples engage with competing aesthetic discourses in the definition of modernity and morality in Egypt. Through an in-depth ethnographic description of ritual aesthetics, it describes on one hand the specific sensory epistemology that backgrounds the interlocutors’ notion of virtuous self and their grammar of aesthetics and, on the other hand, it describes how the interlocutors creatively build trajectories of sounds that blur the boundaries between both religious/secular and modern/traditional conceptions of aesthetics, dominant within the contemporary Egyptian soundscape. The Burhani grammar of aesthetics implies a particular conception of moral personhood, which draws together the mundane and the religious in a quest for a modern form of Islam, seeking for the spiritual within everyday life and throughout contingent sensibilities. It thus brings about a specific articulation of the sensorium and an architecture of the self, which are alternative to the forms of modern and moral selfhood dominant in the Egyptian contemporary public sphere. In a wider perspective, this study has the double aim of highlighting the often-overlooked position of Sufism within the contemporary Islamic Revival through the lens of the contemporary debate over music, and of exploring the bearing of such debate on the everyday ritual practice and experience of the disciples of a contemporary Sufi brotherhood.

description: Nowadays, the ‘illiberal democracy’ or ‘hybrid regime’ in Hungary is one of the favourite hot topics of European constitutional lawyers. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has been receiving well-deserved criticism for centralising the power of his government and eliminating checks and balances. However, little has been said about Hungarian citizens’ role in all what has been happened. Authors sometimes seem to forget about the fact that Orbán does not reign over Hungarians against their will, but he is getting re-elected again and again – last time in April 2022. I argue that behind this series of electoral victories, there is a lack of public demand for limiting state power amongst Hungarians. In this paper I will outline why this is a heritage of state socialism and how the EU should take this social background into account when trying to enforce the rule of law in Hungary.
