description: β-galactosidase assay result summary. Results from two independent trials of the β-galactosidase assay depicted in Fig. 5b. (Each trial involved triplicate independent transformants for each mutant). In these assays, Miller units for each sample were corrected by first subtracting the value for the Hfq1 strain (used as a negative control), and then were compared to the corrected value for the wild-type Hfq3 strain, set to 100%. Mutants with negative values exhibited lower expression than the Hfq1 control strain. While we observed some variability in the signal as a percentage of the wild-type Hfq3 signal between trials, the same rank order of mutant expression levels was observed in each trial. Table S2. Plasmids created in this study. Table S3. Bacterial strains utilized and/or created in this study. Table S4. Primers utilized in this study. Table S5.

description: Применение защитных биопрепаратов позволяет ослабить фунгицидный прессинг на агроценоз и при относительно невысоком и среднем инфекционном фоне существенно снизить пораженность сельскохозяйственных культур. В последнее время предпочтения отдается более эффективным биопрепаратам комплексного действия, включающих несколько штаммов с различными функциями. В связи с этим целью исследования являлся подбор штаммов бактерий – антагонистов фитопатогенов для создания биозащитного комплекса. В качестве инокулянтов исследовали штаммы бактерий 12501 Bacillus subtilis, 01-1 Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, П Paenibacillus polymyxa и 92 Bacillus australimaris из Крымской коллекции микроорганизмов ФГБУН «НИИСХ Крыма» (http://ckp-rf.ru/usu/507484/). Методом перпендикулярных штрихов выявлено угнетающее действие B. amyloliquefaciens 01-1 на B. subtilis 12501, P. polymyxa П и B. australimaris 92. В условиях глубинного периодического культивирования из монокультур наибольший титр клеток выявлен у штамма 92 (1,6 млрд КОЕ/мл). Титр культур 92+12501 и 92+01-1 был ниже и составил 0,3 и 1,0 млрд КОЕ/мл, соответственно, и выше в варианте 92+П (1,8 млрд КОЕ/мл). Вместе с тем при совместном культивировании 92+01-1+П определен максимальный титр клеток 3,4 млрд КОЕ/мл. Также исследования показали, что антагонистическая активность по отношению к патогенному микромицету Fusarium solani наблюдалась в вариантах 12501+01-1, 12501+01-1+П и 01-1, от 2,0 до 4,3 мм. В вариантах 01-1 и 01-1+П выявлено угнетение штаммов-возбудителей бактериозов сельскохозяйственных культур Clavibacter michiganensis 102 и Agrobacterium tumefaciens 8628 от 10,7 до 13,3 мм.

Таким образом, в результате проведенных исследований подобраны композиции штаммов бактерий родов Bacillus и Paenibacillus для формирования биозащитного микробного комплекса, установлены общие титры моно, бинарных, тройных и четырехкомпонентных препаратов, выявлена антагонистическая активность композиций по отношению к возбудителям фузариоза и бактериозов сельскохозяйственных культур.

description: This study presents a framework for harnessing temple donations to develop welfare systems aimed at vulnerable individuals, particularly women and children within the Hindu community in India. By addressing systemic issues such as human trafficking, abuse, and limited access to education, the proposed model integrates religious philanthropy with social empowerment. This initiative seeks to leverage existing resources and implement transparent fund management practices to provide shelter, rehabilitation, education, and vocational training for marginalized populations. The study outlines implementation methods, discusses potential challenges, and identifies opportunities for scaling this approach.

Neoribates

description: Neoribates (Pseudoneoribates) subgen. nov.
Diagnosis. Lamellae represented by strong ridges, straight, located laterally on prodorsum. Prolamellae smoothly fused to lamellae basally and curving backwards in medio-anterior parts. Bothridial setae setiform to indistinct clavate. Notogaster with four pairs of sacculi. Notogastral setae present or represented by alveoli. Anterior parts of pteromorphs rounded. Genital plates with four to five pairs of setae. Legs tridactylous.
Type species. Neoribates (Pseudoneoribates) negrosensis sp. nov.
Etymology. The subgenus-group name Pseudoneoribates refers to the similarity between the new subgenus and the subgenus Neoribates (Neoribates).
Remarks. Neoribates (Pseudoneoribates) subgen. nov. can clearly be distinguished from the other subgenera of the genus Neoribates by the morphology of prolamellae, which are strong ridges, smoothly fused to lamellae basally and curving backwards in medio-anterior parts (versus prolamellae usually absent; if present – for example, as in Neoribates (Perezinigokalumma) afrum (Pérez-Íñigo, 1969), – they are thin, clearly bordered from lamellae, straight and directed to rostrum).
Earlier, such structure of prolamellae as in Neoribates (Pseudoneoribates) subgen. nov. was not noted in Parakalummdae, and it is very rare in Oripodoidea (for example, in Heteroleius flagellifer Mahunka & Mahunka- Papp, 2011). Many Galumnoidea have medio-anterior parts of lamellar lines, which are similar to prolamellae in new subgenus (curving backwards), however, these species belong to another superfamily and their lamellar lines are not divided clearly into lamellae and prolamellae.

Online Bayesian Optimization: A Closed-Loop Approach
Creators: name: Hartnik, Christian
Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2023
Subjects: safe learning; closed-loop optimization; model-free control; gradient-free optimization

description: Designing online controllers for real-life systems, such as residential or office buildings, is usually challenging, because of the complexity of the processes involved. Many existing controllers require solving complex optimization problems to find the optimal operating point. The new operating point is obtained using an optimization algorithm, typically a gradient-based one. However, sometimes obtaining even approximate gradients may be unavailable or too complex. In our work, we propose an online Bayesian Optimization controller to solve the optimization problem in closedloop in a gradient-free and safe way. Applying SafeOpt to a linear time invariant (LTI) building model and comparing its performance with a gradient-based method significantly reduces constraint violations while resulting in similar objective function values. The performance is further shown in nonlinear building temperature control systems. The safe learning algorithm overcomes the need for solving a complex nonlinear optimization problem and mitigates constraint violation.

Feedback Optimization over Networks: Decentralized and Distributed Approaches
Creators: name: Wang, Wenbin
Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2023

description: Feedback optimization is an innovative online optimization approach that aims to guide a stable plant towards its optimal operating point. In this thesis, we focus on a network system that consists of multiple agents. The individual agent is linked via a dynamic network and has one objective function, on control input and one measurement from the system. We would like to solve the problem that minimizes the average of individual objective functions for each agent. We take advantage of the network structure of the system and propose two algorithms to solve the problem under different scenarios in a decentralized and distributed fashion. In the case where only partial model information is available, which means each agent only has access to its local sensitivity information. We proposed a totally decentralized algorithm, where there is no communication and each agent updates its control variable based on the local sensitivity as well as the measurement from the system. From a theoretical perspective, we prove that our algorithm leads to the Nash equilibrium for convex functions, where each agent minimizes its own objective function. Additionally, we provide stability bounds with or without considering the dynamics of the networks. Furthermore, we establish a theoretical upper bound for the difference between the solution obtained through the decentralized method and the global optimal. For the case where no model information is available, we leverage a certain level of communication among the agents to approach the global optimal. We employ a zeroth-order method to estimate the gradient and update the control input. We establish the theoretical stability and optimality result for the proposed distributed algorithm. To evaluate the performance of the two proposed algorithms, simulation is conducted on a small-scale directed current (DC) power grid.
