description: Bu çalışmanın amacı, öğrencilerin öğrenme süreçlerinde kavramakta güçlük çektikleri ısı ve sıcaklığa ilişkin temel kavramların ve bu kavramlar arası ilişkilerin Probleme Dayalı Öğrenme (PDÖ) sürecindeki değişiminin nasıl gerçekleştiğini incelemektir. Bu amaçla; ısı, sıcaklık ve iç enerji kavramları incelenmek üzere seçilmiştir. Isı aktarımı, hal değiştirme ve genleşme olayları da örnek olarak ele alınmıştır.
 Araştırma, lisans eğitimi sırasında Termodinamik dersi almamış Gazi Eğitim Fakültesi Fizik Öğretmenliği ikinci sınıf öğrencilerinden amaçlı olarak seçilmiş 13 gönüllü katılımcı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Katılımcılardan elde edilen veriler, nicel ve nitel tekniklerden yararlanarak çözümlenmiştir. Süreç başında ve sonunda çoktan seçmeli kavramsal test uygulanmıştır. Ayrıca süreç de öğrenciler tarafından kendilerine verilen çeşitli formlarla değerlendirilmiştir. Beş hafta boyunca her hafta öğrencilerden altısı ile kavramlar ve olaylar üzerine yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme yapılmıştır. Bu öğrencilerden biri ile yapılan görüşmeler ayrıntılı olarak incelenmiştir. Analizde üçgenleme yapılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde nicel veriler için betimsel istatistikler, nitel veriler için ise betimsel analiz ve içerik analizi yapılarak gömülü kuramın teknikleri kullanılmıştır.
 Gömülü kuram yardımıyla katılımcının düşünceleri arasındaki ilişkiler ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Böylelikle öğrencinin öğrenme süreci betimlenmiştir. Araştırma bulguları, ısı kavramının iç enerjiyi de kapsayacak biçimde tanımlandığını göstermiştir. İç enerji kavramının öğrenilmesine ısı kavramı engel olmaktadır. Isı aktarım yollarından ışıma en az bilinendir. Sıcaklık kavramı en iyi algılanan ama tanımlanamayan bir kavramdır. Ayrıca, PDÖ’nün kavramsal değişime olumlu katkıları olduğu görülmüştür. PDÖ’nün duyuşsal etkileri olumludur.
title: "Ich glaube, es macht mehr Spaß, wenn man Dialekt kennt"

description: Diese Masterarbeit beschäftigt sich grundlegend mit dem Erwerbsprozess der passiven Dialektkompetenz seitens Deutschlernenden in Österreich sowie damit, wie diese Personengruppe die Dialektvielfalt Österreichs wahrnimmt und welchen Stellenwert sie ihr zuschreibt. Gerade in Anbetracht dessen, dass Dialekte im ‚traditionellen‘ Sprachunterricht oder in den gängigen Lehrwerken nur peripher (oder gänzlich nicht) thematisiert werden, aber die Sprachrealität Österreichs prägen, ist die dialektale Sprache tendenziell herausfordernd für all jene Menschen, die sich Deutsch als Fremd- oder Zweitsprache aneignen/angeeignet haben und in Österreich leben. Um Einblicke in die Wahrnehmungen, Einschätzungen und die Erwerbserfahrungen von DaF/Z-Lerner*innen zu gewinnen, wurden im Rahmen dieser Masterarbeit Interviews mit acht Proband*innen geführt, die sprachbiographisch einen DaF/Z-Zugang aufweisen und in Wien oder Niederösterreich leben. In der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse, die an die Transkripte der Interviews herangetragen wurde, kristallisiert sich heraus, dass fast alle Befragten durch fehlende Dialektkenntnisse negative Erfahrungen gemacht haben und die Mehrheit der Gesprächspartner*innen denkt, dass es als in Österreich lebender Mensch notwendig ist, dialektale Sprache verstehen zu können. Obwohl alle Proband*innen, die individuelle Erwerbswege, Lebensrealitäten und Sprachkontakte ‚mitbringen‘, meinen, zum Zeitpunkt des Interviews den in ihrem Umfeld gesprochenen Dialekt überwiegend bis problemlos verstehen zu können, geben sie an, dass sie sich diese Kompetenz im außerinstitutionellen Lernkontext teilweise mühsam und mit Frust verbunden erarbeiten mussten – ein prozesshaftes Unterfangen, von dessen Vorgang sie keine genaue Vorstellung haben. Dies veranschaulicht, dass DaF/Z-Unterricht Lernende im In- und Ausland nicht (ausreichend) auf die facettenreiche Sprachrealität des deutschsprachigen Raumes vorbereitet und unterstreicht demnach ein Desiderat an künftige Unterrichtsgestaltung, die sprachliche Varietät mitdenkt und integriert.

description: In this paper, we propose a novel methodology for automatically finding new chaotic attractors through a computational intelligence technique known as multi-gene genetic programming (MGGP). We apply this technique to the case of the Lorenz attractor and evolve several new chaotic attractors based on the basic Lorenz template. The MGGP algorithm automatically finds new nonlinear expressions for the different state variables starting from the original Lorenz system. The Lyapunov exponents of each of the attractors are calculated numerically based on the time series of the state variables using time delay embedding techniques. The MGGP algorithm tries to search the functional space of the attractors by aiming to maximise the largest Lyapunov exponent (LLE) of the evolved attractors. To demonstrate the potential of the proposed methodology, we report over one hundred new chaotic attractor structures along with their parameters, which are evolved from just the Lorenz system alone.

description: Aminochelate are organic-based chelate fertilizers with higher efficiency for agricultural applications. In the present study, foliar application of three organic-based chelate fertilizers, a macro-micro mixture and soil applied NPK were evaluated on French bean growth characteristics under open field in a calcareous soil. The results showed that plant growth, pod yield (79%) and pod quality were improved by application of chelate fertilizers. Growth parameters as plant height, number of leaves and lateral shoots, shoot dry weight, pod number and pod length were significantly increased by foliar application of the chelate fertilizers. The concentrations of nitrogen, potassium and iron in pods and above all in leaves were increased by foliar application of chelate fertilizers compared to control and soil applied NPK. Pod pH and TSS were not influenced by treatments; however, foliar application of the chelate fertilizers resulted in higher titratable acidity (40%), vitamin C (112%) and protein (35%) content of pods. The results indicate that organic-based chelate fertilizers can be effective safer alternatives for simple chemical salts in calcareous soils.

Classical bulges, supermassive blackholes and AGN feedback: Extension to low-mass galaxies
Creators: name: Lu, Zhankui

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: The empirical model of Lu et al. 2014a for the relation between star formation rate and halo mass growth is adopted to predict the classical bulge mass ($M_{\rm cb}$) - total stellar mass ($M_\star$) relation for central galaxies. The assumption that the supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass ($M_{\rm BH}$) is directly proportional to the classical bulge mass, with the proportionality given by that for massive galaxies, predicts a $M_{\rm BH}$ - $M_\star$ relation that matches well the observed relation for different types of galaxies. In particular, the model reproduces the strong transition at $M_\star=10^{10.5}$ - $10^{11}M_{\odot}$, below which $M_{\rm BH}$ drops rapidly with decreasing $M_\star$. Our model predicts a new sequence at $M_\star <10^{10.5}M_{\odot}$, where $M_{\rm BH} \propto M_\star$ but the amplitude is a factor of $\sim 50$ lower than the amplitude of the sequence at $M_\star>10^{11}M_{\odot}$. If all SMBH grow through similar quasar modes with a feedback efficiency of a few percent, the energy produced in low-mass galaxies at redshift $z\gtrsim 2$ can heat the circum-galactic medium up to a specific entropy level that is required to prevent excessive star formation in low-mass dark matter halos.

description: Super-luminous supernovae of type Ic have a tendency to occur in faint host galaxies which are likely to have low mass and low metallicity. PTF12dam is one of the closest and best studied super-luminous explosions that has a broad and slowly fading lightcurve similar to SN 2007bi. Here we present new photometry and spectroscopy for PTF12dam from 200-500 days (rest-frame) after peak and a detailed analysis of the host galaxy (SDSS J142446.21+461348.6 at z = 0.107). Using deep templates and image subtraction we show that the full lightcurve can be fit with a magnetar model if escape of high-energy gamma rays is taken into account. The full bolometric lightcurve from -53 to +399 days (with respect to peak) cannot be fit satisfactorily with the pair-instability models. An alternative model of interaction with a dense CSM produces a good fit to the data although this requires a very large mass (~ 13 M_sun) of hydrogen free CSM. The host galaxy is a compact dwarf (physical size ~ 1.9 kpc) and with M_g = -19.33 +/- 0.10, it is the brightest nearby SLSN Ic host discovered so far. The host is a low mass system (2.8 x 10^8 M_sun) with a star-formation rate (5.0 M_sun/year), which implies a very high specific star-formation rate (17.9 Gyr^-1). The remarkably strong nebular lines provide detections of the [O III] λ4363 and [O II] λλ7320,7330 auroral lines and an accurate oxygen abundance of 12 + log(O/H) = 8.05 +/- 0.09. We show here that they are at the extreme end of the metallicity distribution of dwarf galaxies and propose that low metallicity is a requirement to produce these rare and peculiar supernovae.

Semi-Adequate Closed Braids and Volume

Subjects: subject: Geometric Topology (math.GT)

description: In this paper, we show that the volumes for a family of A-adequate closed braids can be bounded above and below in terms of the twist number, the number of braid strings, and a quantity that can be read from the combinatorics of a given closed braid diagram. We also show that the volumes for many of these closed braids can be bounded in terms of a single stable coefficient of the colored Jones polynomial, thus showing that this collection of closed braids satisfies a Coarse Volume Conjecture. By expanding to a wider family of closed braids, we also obtain volume bounds in terms of the number of positive and negative twist regions in a given closed braid diagram. Furthermore, for a family of A-adequate closed 3-braids, we show that the volumes can be bounded in terms of the parameter $s$ from the Schreier normal form of the 3-braid. Finally we show that, for the same family of A-adequate closed 3-braids, the parameters $k$ and $s$ from the Schreier normal form can actually be read off of the original 3-braid word.

description: The present research aimed at studying the effects of Ca application, through soil fertilization, on yellow sap contamination based on the position of the fruits on the canopy of the tree. The tree was divided into 6 sectors based on the differences in light exposure i.e. sector 1, 2, and 3 for shaded fruit positions and sector 4, 5, and 6 for well-exposed (to light) fruit positions. The present study used a Randomized Complete Block design (RCBD), consisting of 2 treatments i.e. 0 kg Ca/tree and 4.8 kg Ca/tree. The results revealed that Ca treatment lead to an increase in Ca-pectate content in pericarp. In addition, the exposed fruit position allegedly increase the absorption of Ca-pectate to the fruit. Thus, it is important to both apply Ca on the soil and ensure that the fruit, in the canopy, gets enough light to decrease the occurrence of yellow sap contamination. The well-exposed position of the fruit, in the 4.8 kg Ca/tree treatment during anthesis, had increased the Ca-pectate content of the pericarp which, in turn, resulted in a decrease in yellow sap contamination in segment, aryl, and rind of the mangosteen fruit.

description: This article explores the understudied population of youth who interact with both the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. It argues that policy makers and practitioners should begin to use research to take on the challenge of altering the negative outcomes for these vulnerable youth. This article provides an overview of the current policies that impact this population and provides evidence in support of an improved policy approach that focuses on system collaboration as well as the expansion of federal Title IV-E and Title IV-B funding and reauthorization of key legislation.

Health care data
Data standards
Interoperability
Interventional research data

description: The scope of the report is discussed, and clarified as an examination of data standards and the interoperability of data both within and between healthcare data (including that used for observational research) and interventional research data (largely from clinical trials). The data standards in use within healthcare data are examined from the perspectives of outcome measures, syntactic and transport standards, semantic standards and metadata standards. The same is then done for standards within interventional research. The practicalities of interoperability, in particular with respect to making healthcare data more like interventional research data, are explored – again under the headings of outcome measures, syntactic and transport standards, semantic standards and metadata standards. The major finding is of a current semantic incompatibility between healthcare and interventional research data standards – i.e. they tend to use different vocabularies and concepts. A conclusion summarises the report’s findings and discusses possible actions to improve data interoperability in the short, medium and long term.

description: High quality CdS nanowires suspended in air were optically pumped both below and above the lasing threshold. The polarization of the pump laser was varied while emission out of the end facet of the nanowire was monitored in a 'head-on' measurement geometry. Highest pump-efficiency and most efficient absorption of the pump radiation are demonstrated for an incident electric field being polarized parallel to the nanowire axis. This polarization dependence, which was observed both above the lasing threshold and in the regime of amplified spontaneous emission, is caused by an enhanced absorption for parallel polarized optical pumping. Measured Stokes parameters of the nanowire emission reveal that due to the onset of lasing the degree of polarization rapidly increases from approximately 15% to 85%. Both, Stokes parameters and degree of polarization of the nanowire lasing emission are independent of the excitation polarization. The transversal lasing mode is therefore not notably affected by the polarization of the pumping beam, although the supply with optical gain is significantly enhanced for an excitation polarization parallel to the nanowire axis.

description: Die Chancen und Risiken von mobile Health (mHealth) werden in Fachkreisen rege diskutiert. Doch wie werden sie unter Laien wahrgenommen? Insbesondere die Perspektive von Menschen, die gesundheitsfördernde Apps verwenden, ist hier interessant, da sie bereits Abwägungen getroffen haben. Folgenden Forschungsfragen wurde nachgegangen: Wie denken Nutzer*innen von Gesundheitsapps in Deutschland über die Chancen und Risiken von mHealth nach und wie bewerten sie diesbezügliche Policies ihrer Bundesregierung? Zu deren Beantwortung wurden acht Gesundheitsappnutzer*innen befragt und mit einem qualitativen Ansatz auf Konzepte der Q-Methode zurückgegriffen. Während sie den sozialen Vorteilen tendenziell mehr Bedeutung zusprechen als den Nachteilen, zweifeln sie an den Darstellungen individueller Ermächtigung und erachten den Datenschutz als relevantesten Aspekt. Die Policies der Bundesregierung bewerten sie unterschiedlich, wobei ihnen weite Teile davon nicht bekannt sind. Den mHealth-Lösungen stehen sie grundsätzlich offen gegenüber, fordern aber mehr informationsbasierende Politikinstrumente. Die Corona-Warnapp sowie die Covpass-App kritisieren viele.
description: The opportunities and risks of mobile health (mHealth) are the subject of lively discussion in specialist circles. But how are they perceived by laypeople? In particular, the perspective of people who use health-promoting apps is interesting here, since they have already made their own decisions. The following research questions were investigated: How do users of health apps in Germany think about the opportunities and risks of mHealth and how do they rate the relevant policies of their federal government? To answer them, eight health app users were interviewed and concepts of the Q-method were used with a qualitative approach. While they tend to prioritize the social benefits over the disadvantages, they question the narratives of individual empowerment and consider privacy to be the most relevant issue. They evaluate the policies of the federal government differently, although they are largely unaware of them. They are fundamentally open to mHealth solutions, but call for more information-based policy instruments. Many criticize the Corona warning app and the Covpass app.

description: Schefflera [Schefflera arboricola (Hayata) Merr.] is one of the most popular ornamental house plants conventionally propagated by seeds. Rapid multiplication of elite clones is an important driving force for the pot plant’s market. In this regard, In vitro clonal propagation of three schefflera cultivars, ‘Luseane’, ‘Charlotte’ and ‘Gold Capella’, was examined. Sterilization was done by 70% ethanol for 2 min and 1% sodium hypochlorite solution for 15 min. Shoot proliferation of the nodal segments was dependent on cytokinin supply. The greatest number of shoots was obtained when nodal explants were cultured on the MS medium with 0.5 mg l-1 TDZ for ‘Luseane’, or 8 mg l-1 BA for ‘Charlotte’ and ‘Gold Capella’. Subculture of nodal segments harvested from the in vitro derived axillary shoots on the multiplication medium enabled continuous production of healthy shoots with similar frequency. Plantlets of ‘Luseane’ and ‘Gold Capella’ demonstrated 100% rooting using 2 mg l-1 NAA, while ‘Charlotte’ showed 93.75% root induction by 1 mg l-1 NAA. Plantlets were acclimatized successfully using peat moss and sand mixture (‘Luseane’), loam soil, sand and leaf compost (‘Charlotte’) or peat moss and perlite mixture (‘Gold Capella’).

description: The hot plasma filling galaxy clusters emits copious X-ray radiation. The classic unheated and unperturbed cooling flow model predicts dramatic cooling rates and an isobaric X-ray spectrum with constant differential luminosity distribution. The observed cores of clusters (and groups) show instead a strong deficit of soft X-ray emission: $dL_{\rm x}/dT \propto (T/T_{\rm hot})^{α=2\pm1}$. Using 3D hydrodynamic simulations, we show that such deficit arises from the tight self-regulation between thermal instability condensation and AGN outflow injection: condensing clouds boost the AGN outflows, which quench cooling as they thermalize through the core. The resultant average distribution slope is $α\simeq 2$, oscillating within the observed $1 8$), while unopposed cooling drives a too shallow slope, $α<1$. AGN outflows deposit their energy inside-out, releasing more heat in the inner cooler phase; radially distributed heating alone induces a declining spectrum, $1

Postharvest melatonin treatment reduces chilling injury and enhances antioxidant capacity of tomato fruit during cold storage

description: In this study, tomato fruit was treated with 50, 100 or 200 µM melatonin and then stored at 5°C for 28 days to investigate the effect of melatonin treatment on chilling injury, nutritional quality and changes in the antioxidant system. Tomato fruit developed chilling injury, manifested as surface pitting and irregular red color development during storage. These chilling injury symptoms, ion leakage and malondialdehyde content were significantly reduced, and proline and carotenoids contents were significantly increased by melatonin treatment. Meanwhile, melatonin substantially reduced O2- production rate and H2O2 content, which result from significantly higher activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and peroxidase than control during the storage. These results suggest that melatonin treatment can effectively enhance chilling tolerance and reduce chilling injury. The reduction in chilling injury by melatonin may be associated with enhanced enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants, in favor of membrane integrity and thus low cellular and tissue damage.

Year: 2018

description: Cultivars and rootstocks tolerant to salinity are determinant to increase the salt tolerance of planted fruit trees including pistachio. In this research, the effect of salinity stress on morphological and physiological traits as well as the concentration of nutrition elements in some pistachio cultivars was investigated based on completely randomized design (CRD), with two factors cultivars and irrigation water salinity. Studied cultivars were Ghazvini, Shahpasand, Akbari, Khanjari, Jandaghi, Italiyayi, Fndoghi 48, Sabz Pesteh Tohg, Ahmad Aghaee, Rezaie Zood Res, Mousa Abadi, Ebrahimi, Kaleh Ghochi and Badami Zarand and levels of salinity were 0.5, 4.9, 9.8, 14.75 and 19.8 dS/m. Each treatment had nine replicas. The results showed that increasing salinity reduced branch height, branch diameter, number of total leaves, and percentage of green leaves, relative humidity content, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and total chlorophylls in all cultivars. But percentage of necrotic leaves, percentage of downfall leaves, relative ionic percentage and cell membrane injury percentage were increased. The results showed that salinity stress affected the young trees through increasing the amount of minimum fluorescence (F0) and decreasing the maximum fluorescence (FM) and reducing variable fluorescence (FV) as well as the ratio of variable fluorescence to maximum fluorescence from 0.83±1 in the control plants to 0.59±0.015 in Rezaie Zood Res cultivar and 0.61±0.009 in Mousa Abadi cultivar. The results also showed that in the total cultivars studied, the highest amount of Na+ in leaves and roots (2.09±0.04% and 3.04±0.06%), and the lowest amount of K+ in leaves and roots (0.40±0.02% and 0.34±0.01%), were observed in treatment 19.75 dS/m. Overall, Ghazvini was found to be the most tolerant cultivar to salinity stress. This cultivar could well tolerate salinity 14.75 dS/m.

description: In this paper we address the exponential stability of a system of transport equations with intermittent damping on a network of $N \geq 2$ circles intersecting at a single point $O$. The $N$ equations are coupled through a linear mixing of their values at $O$, described by a matrix $M$. The activity of the intermittent damping is determined by persistently exciting signals, all belonging to a fixed class. The main result is that, under suitable hypotheses on $M$ and on the rationality of the ratios between the lengths of the circles, such a system is exponentially stable, uniformly with respect to the persistently exciting signals. The proof relies on an explicit formula for the solutions of this system, which allows one to track down the effects of the intermittent damping.

description: Transport and diffusion of heat in one dimensional (1D) nonlinear systems which {\it conserve momentum} is typically thought to proceed anomalously. Notable exceptions, however, exist of which the rotator model is a prominent case. Therefore, the quest arises to identify the origin of manifest anomalous transport in those low dimensional systems. Here, we develop the theory for both, momentum/heat diffusion and its corresponding momentum/heat transport. We demonstrate that the second temporal derivative of the mean squared deviation of the momentum spread is proportional to the equilibrium correlation of the total momentum flux. This result in turn relates, via the integrated momentum flux correlation, to an effective viscosity, or equivalently, to the underlying momentum diffusivity. We put forward the intriguing hypothesis that a fluid-like momentum dynamics with a {\it finite viscosity} causes {\it normal} heat transport; its corollary being that superdiffusive momentum diffusion with an intrinsic {\it diverging viscosity} in turn yields {\it anomalous} heat transport. This very hypothesis is corroborated over wide extended time scales by use of precise molecular dynamics simulations. The numerical validation of the hypothesis involves three distinct archetype classes of nonlinear pair-interaction potentials: (i) a globally bounded pair interaction (the noted rotator model), (ii) unbounded interactions acting at large distances (the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam $β$ model, or the rotator model amended with harmonic pair interactions) and (iii), a pair interaction potential being unbounded at short distances while displaying an asymptotic free part (Lennard-Jones model).

description: Somatic embryogenesis (SE), biochemical alterations and synthetic seed formation were carried out in two Coriandrum sativum L. varieties (Rajendra Swathi ‘RS’ and Co-1). Callus was induced profusely in 1.0 mg/l 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D) added MS medium but Co-1 had more callus induction frequency (96.0%) compared to RS (89.3%). The callus turned into embryogenic tissue and variable embryogenic frequency (77.6% in RS and 72.8% in Co-1) was noted. Somatic embryos started to differentiate on the same 2,4-D added medium but the numbers of somatic embryos were more in RS (63.0 embryos per culture) compared to Co-1 (51.0 embryos per culture). These somatic embryos progressed well and showed maximum maturation in RS (78.7%) in 0.25 mg/l 6-benzyl adenine (BA) + 0.5 mg/l α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) added medium. The biochemical analyses of non-embryogenic-, embryogenic-callus and different stages of embryos were conducted in order to know the changes of physiology in different tissues. Sugar and proline content were noted to be high at embryo induction stage while protein level was higher at embryo maturation stage. Biochemical analysis also revealed that the catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities were higher at maturation stage of embryos compared to other embryogenic stages. Matured somatic embryos were germinated in MS added with 1.0 mg/l BA + 0.5 mg/l gibberellic acid (GA3) in which 83.3% and 76.7% plantlet regeneration were noticed in RS and Co-1 respectively. Somatic embryos were encapsulated in various alginate and calcium chloride (CaCl2) solutions and were kept in different temperature regimes for varied periods. On regeneration medium, the encapsulated embryos germinated into plantlets; in 3% sodium alginate + 100 mM CaCl2, maximum plant regeneration (74.0% in RS and 70.6% in Co-1) was noted. The influence of low temperature on storage of synthetic seeds and their conversion into plantlets were also studied and we noted that the 4°C was the optimum temperature for synthetic seed conservation and plantlet regeneration compared to -20°C and 25oC temperature conditions.

description: Raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) fruits are characterised by a high content of nutraceuticals, such as vitamin C, polyphenols and anthocyanins, which are considered antioxidant compounds. The ready-to-eat raspberry product could increase the market opportunities and the consumption of this high-value-added fruit. The aim of this research was to evaluate the evolution of qualitative and nutraceutical characteristics during the shelf-life of ready-to-eat raspberries. Samples from three raspberry cultivars (‘Glen Magna’, ‘Tulameen’ and ‘Heritage’) were sanitized and then packed in polypropylene bowls. The analyses were carried out at harvest (raw material) and after 3, 6 and 8 days of storage at 3°C. The study indicated the loss of fruit firmness as the most problematic aspect, followed by a less important change in hue values from light red to dark red. The modifications of chemical-physical parameters (soluble solids content, pH and titratable acidity) during shelf-life did not compromise the product quality. Processing and cold storage affected only slightly the nutraceutical profile (scavenging activity, phenols and anthocyanin content), except for ascorbic acid, therefore, the ready-to-eat raspberries could be considered a good source of compounds with potential health benefits. Some handling difficulties were highlighted during processing due to the high fragility of fruit which caused a high percentage of waste.

description: The present report is focused on the technical implementation and validation of the COVID-19 clinical research repository developed within the EOSC-Life project. The first section describes the functionality of the repository, split between its two main systems - the TSD infrastructure on the one hand, operated by the University of Oslo, and the Repository Management System (RMS), developed by ECRIN, on the other hand. The RMS is designed to support and record the workflows associated with managing the repository and its interactions with providers, secondary users and requesters. Subsequently, the two systems and their interface to support the repository’s activity are described in detail, including the AAI infrastructure that will be used and shared by both the RMS and the TSD. Finally, the validation strategy that is currently applied to the RMS and to the new, repository-specific elements of the TSD is outlined.

description: In cut flowers, the post-harvest turgor is a critical aspect in a system in which, in the absence of the root system, transpiration water losses must be compensated. Two experiments were conducted in order to elucidate the effect of osmoprotectants (L-Proline) as well as of molecules with antitranspirant behavior (ß-aminobutyric acid - BABA or Pinolene) on the water relations and vase life of rose cut stems. Applications of L-Proline enhanced water fluxes, water conductivity, relative water content and stomatal conductance of rose cut stems in comparison to untreated plants, thus increasing the vase-life of rose cut flowers. BABA treatment reduced the stomatal conductance in rose as well as the daily water consumption, on the other hand senescence phenomena occurred earlier. The water used by pinolene treated stems was lower compared to the control and this was associated with a medium increase of the vase life. Overall, enhanced osmoregulation prolonged the vase life of cut flowers since the improved water status allowed the cut stem to partially continue its metabolic functions. On the other hand, the control of transpirational flux was functional in maintaining cellular turgor in pinolene treated cut stems, whereas with BABA, senescence phenomena occurred probably due to the activation of biochemical pathway of senescence involving abscisic acid. Taking all together, osmoregulation or direct control of transpirational fluxes may provide a promising avenue for improving the post-harvest longevity of cut roses.

description: Natural preservatives such as herbal essential oils have potential ability for extending postharvest vase life of cut flowers. In this study, application effect of cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) essential oil and 8-hydroxyquinoline sulfate on vase life and postharvest quality of cut rose (Rosa hybrida cv. Angelina) flowers were investigated. A factorial experiment with three levels of each in different time after harvesting was conducted. Results showed that usage of different level of cumin essential oil and hydroxyquinoline sulfate had significant effects on rose attributes at the level of 0.05. The results showed that the interaction effect of cumin essential oil and hydroxyquinoline sulfate in measuring time was significant (P<0.05) on all of parameters except for anthocyanin content in rose petals in a way that the highest amount for measured traits was obtained with treatment of 150 mg L-¹ cumin essential oil and 400 mg L-¹ 8-hydroxyquinoline sulfate.

description: Interaction of Whispering Gallery Modes (WGM) with dilute spin ensembles in solids is an interesting paradigm of Hybrid Quantum Systems potentially beneficial for Quantum Signal Processing applications. In the present work, WGM spectroscopy of Rare-Earth doped YSO crystal reveals the existence of Iron Group Ion (IGI) co-dopings with concentration levels of order 100 ppb. The IGI spin ensembles demonstrate large Zero Field Splittings at 14.7GHz, 18.4GHz and 25.4GHz, considerable anisotropy of the \textrm{g}-tensors, as well as two inequivalent lattice sites. Strong coupling regimes between an ensemble of IGI spins and WGM photons have been demonstrated at $18.4$ GHz and near zero field. This approach together with useful optical properties of these ions opens a new avenue for 'spins-in-solids' Quantum Electrodynamics.
