description: The Hațeg Basin and surrounding areas in Transylvania, western Romania, have been a hotspot for research on vertebrate faunas of the Late Cretaceous European Archipelago. One of the historically earliest titanosaurian sauropod dinosaurs to be discovered, the ‘dwarfed’ species Magyarosaurus dacus comes from lower Maastrichtian deposits in this basin; however, this species has been neglected, with no modern treatment of its anatomy, taxonomy or phylogenetic affinities. Via detailed anatomical study of historical and undescribed remains, combined with archival data, we identify shared autapomorphies that link multiple partial skeletons. Our analysis of hundreds of specimens (including >20 monospecific assemblages) enables the stabilization of the type species Magyarosaurus dacus. We propose the presence of three additional, but only partly contemporaneous taxa – Paludititan nalatzensis, Petrustitan (‘Magyarosaurus’) hungaricus n. gen. and Uriash kadici n. gen. n. sp. (the latter being amongst the largest known sauropods of the Late Cretaceous European Archipelago). We present a new phylogenetic analysis (152 taxa scored for 570 characters), with implications for broader titanosaurian evolutionary relationships and biogeography: Magyarosaurus is recovered either as a member or a close relative of Saltasauridae; Paludititan has affinities with Lognkosauria, along with the contemporaneous Lohuecotitan; Petrustitan is most closely related to South American early diverging eutitanosaurian taxa; and Uriash also shares affinities with Gondwanan taxa. Our findings strengthen the hypothesis that latest Cretaceous European titanosaurs belonged to Gondwanan lineages that invaded the former area during the Barremian–Albian. We interpret the presence of body-size disparity as either evidence that large-bodied taxa were ecologically excluded from body-size reduction by competition with small-bodied titanosaurs, or that dwarfing occurred stratigraphically earlier among several lineages and the small-bodied titanosaurs on Hațeg Island are the descendants of existing dwarfed ancestors. Finally, we find no indication of a body size-related titanosaurian turnover in the uppermost Cretaceous of the Transylvanian area.

description: Mandatory Folic Acid (FA) fortification of staple foods
in a number of countries and periconceptional supplementation has led to increased levels of FA intake. There is ongoing controversy over the effect of FA supplementation on cancer risk, with high levels of FA (≥400ug/day) associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. FA is thought to infer cancer risk through modulation of the epigenome. Here, we investigated whether variations in FA intake
during adulthood induced persistent changes in the
expression of the tumour suppressor gene Brca1 and
the pluripotency gene Oct-4, which play key roles in
DNA repair and cellular differentiation.

A dynamics-based density profile for dark haloes. I. Algorithm and basic results

description: The density profiles of dark matter haloes can potentially probe dynamics, fundamental physics, and cosmology, but some of the most promising signals reside near or beyond the virial radius. While these scales have recently become observable, the profiles at large radii are still poorly understood theoretically, chiefly because the distribution of orbiting matter (the one-halo term) is partially concealed by particles falling into halos for the first time. We present an algorithm to dynamically disentangle the orbiting and infalling contributions by counting the pericentric passages of billions of simulation particles. We analyse dynamically split profiles out to 10 R200m across a wide range of halo mass, redshift, and cosmology. We show that the orbiting term experiences a sharp truncation at the edge of the orbit distribution. Its sharpness and position are mostly determined by the mass accretion rate, confirming that the entire profile shape primarily depends on halo dynamics and secondarily on mass, redshift, and cosmology. The infalling term also depends on the accretion rate for fast-accreting haloes but is mostly set by the environment for slowly accreting haloes, leading to a diverse array of shapes that does not conform to simple theoretical models. While the resulting scatter in the infalling term reaches 1 dex, the scatter in the orbiting term is only between 0.1 and 0.4 dex and almost independent of radius. We demonstrate a tight correspondence between the redshift evolution in LCDM and the slope of the matter power spectrum. Our code and data are publicly available.

description: growing number of young people with disabilities is pursuing university education. Available research on the impact of Information and Communication Technologies on this matter has mainly focused on assistive technologies and their compensatory role for the adjustment of this group of students to the tertiary setting. However, limited research has looked at the role played by digital technologies such as social media and mobile devices in the transition to university, a critical period of change for all students but more challenging for those with impairments. This paper presents the findings of an empirical study that investigated the experiences of students with vision impairments aged 18 to 24 who were transitioning to a New Zealand university. The findings draw from observations, a researcher diary, focus groups, individual interviews, and data from social media. The study found that new technologies play several enabling roles that help students to manage diverse transition challenges. These roles not only include aspects such as impairment compensation, communication, information, and learning but also support arrangement, collaboration, and social connection and participation. By incorporating in the analysis the potential of digital tools, the article updates and expands the understanding of the role of ICTs in higher education from experiences and views of young people with vision impairments.

description: This article introduces Transition 2.0, a paradigm shift designed to study and support students with disabilities’ transition to higher education. Transition 2.0 is the result of a qualitative study about how a group of young people with vision impairments used digital technologies for their transition to university. The findings draw from observations, a researcher diary, focus groups, individual interviews, and data from social media. The article discusses a conventional view of transition, referred to here as Transition 1.0, which has dominated disability-related research and service provision in higher education. It counters this view by further developing the conceptual framework for Transition 2.0. The findings expand current conceptual approaches to transition by incorporating in the analysis the role played by digital tools such as social media and mobile devices. They also provide a new lens through which to study and understand student engagement in higher education.

description: Dysmicoccus brevipes is an insect that can cause many losses in the culture of pineapple. Thus, it is necessary to study alternative control measures. The objective in this research was to evaluate the insecticidal activity of extracts of Azadiractha indica and Cyperus iria on Dysmicoccus brevipes in pineapple. Tests were carried out on: Colonization of D. brevipes and agronomic aspects of pineapple plants; mortality of this insect by the application of extracts directly and on contact surface. The treatments tested were: 1) Control 1 (water); 2) Control 2 (insecticide Evidence 700 WG); 3 and 4) Aqueous extract of A. indica at 5% and 10% concentrations; 5 and 6) Aqueous extract of C. iria at 5% and 10% concentrations. The design was the completely randomized design with five replicates. The data were submitted to analysis of variance and Scott-Knott test at a 5% probability. It was found that extracts A. indica 10% and C. iria 5% and 10% sprayed once in pineapple plants may adversely affect the D. brevipes population, not interfering in the agronomic aspects of the pineapple crop the initial growth phases. Therefore, have a potential to be used in Integrated Management of Pests associated with other control methods.

description: Para frutíferas de caroço o potássio (K) está relacionado com a qualidade dos frutos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar diferentes doses de adubação potássica nas características físico-químicas e compostos bioativos de frutos de pessegueiros ‘Esmeralda’. O experimento foi desenvolvido em pomar comercial no município de Morro Redondo, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, entre as safras de 2014 e 2017. As doses de potássio aplicadas foram 0, 40, 80, 120 e 160 Kg K2O ha-1. Avaliou-se: coloração da polpa, firmeza da casca e da polpa, sólidos solúveis, pH, acidez titulável, relação SS/AT, compostos fenólicos totais, carotenoides totais e atividade antioxidante. O aumento das doses de K reduziu o teor de compostos fenólicos e a atividade antioxidante nos pêssegos nessa mesma safra. Os parâmetros de qualidade dos frutos, como a acidez titulável e firmeza da polpa não apresentaram alterações com a adubação potássica dos pessegueiros nas quatro safras avaliadas. Entretanto, os sólidos solúveis, relação SS/AT, croma, °Hue, firmeza de casca e compostos bioativos são influenciados pelas doses de K, mas dependem também das condições climáticas e da safra em análise.

description: Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) has been continuously benefiting from the advancements in the field of data science. Various types of Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods have been utilized for the assessment and evaluation of civil structures. In AI, Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) algorithms require plenty of datasets to train; particularly, the more data DL models are trained with, the better output it yields. Yet, in SHM applications, collecting data from civil structures through sensors is expensive and obtaining useful data (damage associated data) is challenging. In this paper, 1-D Wasserstein loss Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks using Gradient Penalty (1-D WDCGAN-GP) is utilized to generate damage associated vibration datasets that are similar to the input. For the purpose of vibration-based damage diagnostics, a 1-D Deep Convolutional Neural Network (1-D DCNN) is built, trained, and tested on both real and generated datasets. The classification results from the 1-D DCNN on both datasets resulted to be very similar to each other. The presented work in this paper shows that for the cases of insufficient data in DL or ML-based damage diagnostics, 1-D WDCGAN-GP can successfully generate data for the model to be trained on.

description: Background. The Gorkov approach to self-consistent Green's function theory has been formulated in [V. Somà, T. Duguet, C. Barbieri, Phys. Rev. C 84, 064317 (2011)]. Over the past decade, it has become a method of reference for first-principle computations of semi-magic nuclear isotopes. The currently available implementation is limited to a second-order self-energy and neglects particle-number non-conserving terms arising from contracting three-particle forces with anomalous propagators. For nuclear physics applications, this is sufficient to address first-order energy differences, ground-state radii and moments on an accurate enough basis. However, addressing absolute binding energies, fine spectroscopic details of $N\pm1$ particle systems or delicate quantities such as second-order energy differences associated to pairing gaps, requires to go to higher truncation orders. Purpose. The formalism is extended to third order in the algebraic diagrammatic construction (ADC) expansion with two-body Hamiltonians. Methods. The expansion of Gorkov propagators in Feynman diagrams is combined with the algebraic diagrammatic construction up to the third order as an organization scheme to generate the Gorkov self-energy. Results. Algebraic expressions for the static and dynamic contributions to the self-energy, along with equations for the matrix elements of the Gorkov eigenvalue problem, are derived. It is first done for a general basis before specifying the set of equations to the case of spherical systems displaying rotational symmetry. Workable approximations to the full self-consistency problem are also elaborated on. The formalism at third order it thus complete for a general two-body Hamiltonian. Conclusion. Working equations for the full Gorkov-ADC(3) are now available for numerical implementation.

description: This investigation examined the antioxidant, antimicrobial, cytotoxic, and anti-inflammatory activities of the acetone extract of the lichen Platismatia glauca (L.) W.L. Culb. & C.F. Culb. (PGAE). The phytochemical study of PGAE showed presence of seven compounds: salazinic acid, β-orcinol carboxylic acid, 3-hydroxyphysodalic acid, physodalic acid, physodic acid, atranorin, and chloroatranorin. The antimicrobial potential was determined by microdilution which showed that S. aureus was most sensitive to the effect of PGAE with MIC value 0.312 mg/ml. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by using DPPH method. The obtained IC50 value for PGAE was 194.30 ± 3.32 µg/ml. The cytotoxic effect of the extract was evaluated by MTT test and the strongest activity was towards human epithelial carcinoma cells with IC50 value of 59.10 ± 0.46 µg/ml. The findings revealed that the application of lichen extracts decreased the paw edoema in a dose-dependent manner at 1, 2, 3, and 4 h following carrageenan administration.

description: Abstract Phenology is very important to the understanding of plant cycles, the repetition of biological events, and the causes of these cycles in relation to abiotic selective factors and biotic factors. The aims of this to evaluate the time of occurrence and intensity of the vegetative and reproductive phenological phases, their correlations with external factors, and the influence of photosynthetically active radiation in the fruit Campomanesia adamantium (Cambess.) O. Berg. The study was conducted on a farm in the municipality of Rio Verde, Bazil. The phenological characterisation was performed using ten adult plants. Phenological observations of vegetative and reproductive phenophases were made monthly and weekly, respectively. The total number and the transverse and longitudinal diameters of the fruit of two branches per plant, with higher and lower incidence of radiation, were also evaluated. The young and adult leaves in Campomanesia adamantium were active for almost the entire study period, except the young leaves were inactive in the months of May and August. The presence of sprouts was also very high during the study period. There was a phenophase cycle of rapid and intense play between October and January for C. adamantium. The incidence of radiation interfered with the size and production of the fruit. Fruits that developed in the shadow of branches were fewer and their biometric values ​​lower than those who developed in sunlight.

description: The sucrose derivative 1′,2,3,3′,4,4′-hexa-O-benzylsucrose is a key intermediate for the chemoselective synthesis of various useful materials, such as macrocycles, crown ether analogs, and polymers. Several strategies for the synthesis of this compound were explored by applying microwave-assisted protocols, thus permitting significant reductions of time and energy compared to other routes. The outcomes of the different approaches were compared and the optimal one, in terms of yield and reproducibility, was found to be the initial protection at the positions 6 and 6′, with tert-butyldiphenylsilylchloride (TBDPSCl) in the presence of 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (4-DMAP) and pyridine as a solvent, then perbenzylation of the remaining hydroxyl groups, followed by selective deprotection of the TBDPS groups to obtain the title compound.

description: Length is an important variable to describe root architecture and growth, but root length (RL) measurement is extremely laborious and time-consuming. Image analysis methods can provide reliable and fast RL estimates; such tools have not been applied for oil palm, a globally relevant commodity. We tested two image analysis softwares (Safira and ImageJ) and the modified line-intersect method to estimate oil palm RL. We considered the manual measurement of RL as reference to infer about the accuracy of the image analysis and line-intersect methods. We sampled roots in an 10-yr-old oil palm plantation in eastern Amazon. We used the estimates from the image analysis to calculate a correction factor that was further applied to improve the RL estimates. We applied the Paired sample t-test (p<0.05) to separately test the original and corrected estimates of each method in relation to the reference. The original RL estimates of the image analysis and line-intersect showed limited accuracy. The correction factors improved the estimates of RL for ImageJ, but not for Safira (except for roots within the 0.20-0.99 mm diameter range). We conclude that the ImageJ software is sufficiently accurate to estimate oil palm root length when specific root diameter correction factors are applied.

description: In the cosmic string spacetime and within Kaluza-Klein theory (KKT) backgrounds (indulging magnetic and Aharonov-Bohm flux fields), we introduce and study position-dependent mass (PDM) Klein-Gordon (KG) oscillators. The effective PDM is introduced as a deformation/defect in the momentum operator. We show that there are four different ways to obtain KG-oscillator. Two of which are readily known and the other two are obtained as byproducts of PDM settings. Next, we provide a thorough analysis on the corresponding spectra under different parametric effects, including the curvature parameter's effect. Such analysis is used as a reference/lead model which is used in the discussion of different PDM KG-oscillators models: a mixed power-law and exponential type PDM model that yields a pseudo-confined PDM KG-oscillator in cosmic string spacetime within KKT (i.e., the PDM KG-oscillators are confined in their own PDM manifested Cornell-type confinement), and a PDM KG-oscillator confined in a Cornell-type potential. Moreover, we extend our study and discuss a non-Hermitian $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric PDM-Coulombic-type KG-particle model in cosmic string spacetime within KKT14

description: We investigate the phenomenon of producing vibration-induced rotational motion in a cylinder filled with achiral rods and being vibrated by an external drive. The arrangement of the rods develops chirality as a result of the interaction of gravity and steric hindrance, which is responsible for the induced motion. A two-rod arrangement is sufficient to generate a persistent motion. The average angular velocity $\langle ω\rangle$ of the rods at long times varies non-monotonically with the packing fraction $ϕ$ for a given drive strength $Γ$. Though the precise nature of the variation of $\langle ω\rangle$ with $ϕ$ depends on the details of the interaction between individual rods, its general characteristics hold true for rods of various materials and geometries. A stochastic model based on the asymmetric simple exclusion process helps in understanding the key features of our experiments.

Our data provide two pieces of evidence against the presumed spin-nematic character of this phase: i) NMR spectra reveal that it hosts a dipolar spin order and ii) the 1/$T_1$ relaxation rate data recorded above the saturation field can be fitted by the sum of a single-magnon term, exponential in the gap, and a critical second-order term, exponential in the triple gap, leaving no space for a nematic spin dynamics, characterized by a double-gap exponential. We explain the unexpectedly broad validity of the simple fit and the related critical spin dynamics.

description: A new depsidone derivative botryorhodine J (1), along with six known compounds (2–7) were obtained from solid rice cultures of Alternaria alternata Pas11 that was isolated from leaves of Phragmites australis. The structure of the new compound was elucidated on the basis of combination of NMR spectroscopic data and high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). All the isolated compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial activities against a panel of Gram-positive bacterial strains (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus [MRSA], Bacillus subtilis and S. aureus). Compounds 1 and 6 displayed antibacterial activity against the three bacterial strains with the minimum inhibitory concentration values (MICs) of 14 – 32 μg/mL, while compound 5 showed good antibacterial activity against above bacterial strains with MIC values of 5 – 8 μg/mL.

description: Our objective was to evaluate, under field conditions, the dynamics of decomposition of crop residues under a pear orchard in Brazil. Residues of oat, oilseed radish, ryegrass and spontaneous vegetation were placed in litter bags and deposited between pear rows. After 0, 21, 36, 56 and 136 days, dry matter, carbon, lignin, cellulose, non-structural components, and nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg) were determined. Spontaneous vegetation residues had the longest half residence time compared to the introduced cover crops, while oat residues presented faster dry-matter decomposition rates (2-3 fold higher). Oilseed radish and ryegrass showed the highest final remaining dry matter (26-36%), and the largest nutrients release. Oilseed radish and ryegrass residues released 85 kg N ha-1, 67 kg P ha-1, 48 kg K ha-1, 16 kg Ca ha-1, and 9 kg Mg ha-1. Oilseed radish can potentially benefit mineral nutrition of fruit trees.

description: Nitrous oxide (N2O) is the third most important greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide and methane, and contributes about 6% to the greenhouse effect. Nitrous oxide is a minor component of the atmosphere, and it is a thousand times less than carbon dioxide (CO2). Nevertheless, it is much more potent than CO2 and methane, owing to its long stay in the atmosphere of approximately 120 yr and the high global warming potential (GWP) of 298 times that of CO2. Although greenhouse gases are natural in the atmosphere, human activities have changed the atmospheric concentrations. Most of the values of emission of nitrous oxide are still obtained by means of emission factors and not actually measured; the lack of real data may result in an underestimation of current emissions. The emission factors used for the calculation of N2O can be obtained from the “Guidelines for the implementation of the national inventory of emissions” of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which refer to all nations for the realization of their inventory. This study will present real data, measured in several Italian cement plants with different characteristics. The work also shows a comparison between N2O concentration measured with in situ Fourier transform IR (FTIR) and the reference method EN ISO 21258 based on nondispersive IR (NDIR), in order to investigate the interfering compounds in the measurement with NDIR. Implications:N2O may arise as an unwanted by-product of nitrogen oxide (NOx) abatement systems, in particular selective noncatalytic reduction (SNCR). Since it is applied in the cement plants, N2O emission from cement industry is evaluated, with both FTIR and NDIR instrument. Several considerations emerged from the results. First of all, the emission from this industrial sector is not negligible, and for that reason N2O concentration should be regulated; another observation is that the reference method based on the NDIR technique is not as selective as FTIR could be.

description: The extraordinary neutrino flux produced in extreme astrophysical environments like the early universe, core-collapse supernovae and neutron star mergers may produce coherent quantum neutrino oscillations on macroscopic length scales. The Hamiltonian describing this evolution can be mapped into quantum spin models with all-to-all couplings arising from neutrino-neutrino forward scattering. To date many studies of these oscillations have been performed in a mean-field limit where the neutrinos time evolve in a product state. In this paper we examine a simple two-beam model evolving from an initial product state and compare the mean-field and many-body evolution. The symmetries in this model allow us to solve the real-time evolution for the quantum many-body system for hundreds or thousands of spins, far beyond what would be possible in a more general case with an exponential number ($2^N$) of quantum states. We compare mean-field and many-body solutions for different initial product states and ratios of one- and two-body couplings, and find that in all cases in the limit of infinite spins the mean-field (product state) and many-body solutions coincide for simple observables. This agreement can be understood as a consequence of the fact that the typical initial condition represents a very local but dense distribution about a mean energy in the spectrum of the Hamiltonian. We explore quantum information measures like entanglement entropy and purity of the many-body solutions, finding intriguing relationships between the quantum information measures and the dynamical behavior of simple physical observables.

description: Abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate the allelopathy of aqueous sourgrass extracts on germination and initial growth of cultivated plants and weeds. Two factorial experiments (3x2x3) were carried out, being the plant species (Glycine max (L.), Zea mays (L.), Phaseolus vulgaris (L.), Digitaria horizontalis (W.), Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) and Bidens Pilosa (L.)), factor B origin of root or air part extract and C doses (0, 50 and 100%). Germination percentage and the length of aerial parts and root of the species were evaluated. Among the cultures, there was a reduction in germination only in bean (-12.5%) in response to aqueous root extract 50%. The initial development of corn and beans were hampered. No negative effects were observed on soybeans. Among the weeds, the most sensitive species was Bidens Pilosa (L.), with reductions in germination (-41%), length of aerial parts (-59%) and root (-84%) when the seeds were exposed to the 100% aerial-part extract. The other weed species also suffered reductions in at least one of the evaluated variables. Therefore, the allelopathic effect exerted by sourgrass may be related to its great competitiveness with crops, as well as to its dominant character in areas after its introduction.

description: Clapping modes, which are relative amplitude and phase modes between two chiral components of Cooper pairs, are bosonic collective modes inherent to chiral superconductors. These modes behave as long-lived bosons with masses smaller than the threshold energy, $2|Δ|$, for decay into unbound fermion pairs. Here, we clarify that the real/imaginary clapping modes in chiral superconductors directly couple to acoustic wave propagation when the weak particle-hole asymmetry of the normal state quasiparticle dispersion is taken into account. The clapping modes driven by an acoustic wave generate an alternating electric current, that is, the acoustoelectric effect in superconductors. Significantly, the clapping modes give rise to a transverse electric current. When the sound velocity is comparable to the Fermi velocity, as in heavy fermion compounds, the transverse current is resonantly enhanced at energy below the threshold for continuum excitations. This resonance provides a smoking-gun evidence of chiral superconductivity.

description: The sucrose derivative 1′,2,3,3′,4,4′-hexa-O-benzylsucrose is a key intermediate for the chemoselective synthesis of various useful materials, such as macrocycles, crown ether analogues, and polymers. Several strategies for the synthesis of this compound were explored applying microwave-assisted protocols thus permitting a significant reduction of time and energy compared to other routes. The outcomes of the different approaches were compared and the optimal one, in terms of yield and reproducibility, was found to be the initial protection at the positions 6 and 6' with tert-butyldiphenylsilylchloride (TBDPSCl) in the presence of 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (4-DMAP) and pyridine as a solvent, then perbenzylation of the remaining hydroxyl groups, followed by selective deprotection of the TBDPS-groups to obtain the title compound.

description: Different from large-scale platforms such as Taobao and Amazon, CVR modeling in small-scale recommendation scenarios is more challenging due to the severe Data Distribution Fluctuation (DDF) issue. DDF prevents existing CVR models from being effective since 1) several months of data are needed to train CVR models sufficiently in small scenarios, leading to considerable distribution discrepancy between training and online serving; and 2) e-commerce promotions have significant impacts on small scenarios, leading to distribution uncertainty of the upcoming time period. In this work, we propose a novel CVR method named MetaCVR from a perspective of meta learning to address the DDF issue. Firstly, a base CVR model which consists of a Feature Representation Network (FRN) and output layers is designed and trained sufficiently with samples across months. Then we treat time periods with different data distributions as different occasions and obtain positive and negative prototypes for each occasion using the corresponding samples and the pre-trained FRN. Subsequently, a Distance Metric Network (DMN) is devised to calculate the distance metrics between each sample and all prototypes to facilitate mitigating the distribution uncertainty. At last, we develop an Ensemble Prediction Network (EPN) which incorporates the output of FRN and DMN to make the final CVR prediction. In this stage, we freeze the FRN and train the DMN and EPN with samples from recent time period, therefore effectively easing the distribution discrepancy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study of CVR prediction targeting the DDF issue in small-scale recommendation scenarios. Experimental results on real-world datasets validate the superiority of our MetaCVR and online A/B test also shows our model achieves impressive gains of 11.92% on PCVR and 8.64% on GMV.
