The thesis describes a systematic study of the controlled formation of hierarchical nanostructures based of N-acetylated helical β3 -peptides. The peptides were designed to self-assemble in a head-to-tail fashion, via a 3-point supramolecular motif. The association of these core helices via second order interactions yields superstructures that can be controlled with physical and chemical environmental factors. The effect of solvent environment and the cross-sectional geometry of the fibres was studied with microscopy methods on isomeric tripeptides; it was found that a balance between solvophobic forces and van der Waals attraction allows the tuning of the superstructure between rope-like fibre bundles and dendritic assemblies. Synchrotron far-IR spectroscopic measurements confirmed that all three peptides had the same core folding geometry. The analysis of the vibrational spectra using DFT calculations revealed a strong effect of hydrogen bonding on the amide vibrational modes. The effect of the side chain polarity of the folding and self-assembly of N-acetyl β3 -peptides was also studied using a series of tetra-peptides of increasingly polar sidechains; the results confirmed that this family of peptides forms stable helices and self-assemble in any solvent environment irrespective of the side chain chemistry. Hence a secondary self-assembly motif was introduced by enclosing αhistidine residues between two β3 -segments to form “introns”. These peptides retained the ability to form fibres through the primary self-assembly motif; metal coordination of the histidine side chains yielded gelling in solution phase and regular arrays in surface deposits. Two-dimensional sheets of these metal coordination crosslinked introns exhibited conductivity comparable to common conductive polymers. Considering that target applications for the β3 -peptide based hierarchical nanomaterials is in the biomedical field, the toxicity of the peptides was also studied on C. elegans using a novel oral delivery method, and it was confirmed that the ingestion of N-acetylated β3 -peptides has no appreciable toxic effect. Hence, a novel class of versatile self-assembling nano materials has been established in this work that is suitable for a range of applications in fields as diverse as medicine and molecular electronics.

These mites were observed occurring in the coffee tree for the first time in Brazil, in Espírito Santo (CHIAVEGATO et al., 1974). It is known as a broad mite, tropical mite or white mite. It is white in color and measures 0.17 mm in length. Their eggs are of white color and placed isolated in the inferior face of the new leaves, where they spend their whole life. This species does not weave web and its population development is favored by high temperatures and rainy weather, being able to complete a generation in the period of three to five days.
As a consequence of these mites attack, the new leaves become coriaceous and depressed in the central part with the edges facing downwards (Figure 14), due to the uneven growth of the leaf blade, evolving to necrosis and tearing. When these symptoms manifest themselves, no mites are found in these leaves. It is important in nurseries with excessive irrigation and in plantations, in which the seedlings are infested by the pest.
The broad mite is polyphagous and can be found in planted cultures intercropped with conilon coffee, mainly in beans and papaya (GALLO et al., 2002). Thus, intercropped plantations of conilon with papaya may imply higher levels of damage for both crops, especially for papaya because it is more sensitive to this pest attack.
The chemical control can be carried out with specific acaricides in localized application.

description: We construct an enhanced version of knot contact homology, and show that we can deduce from it the group ring of the knot group together with the peripheral subgroup. In particular, it completely determines a knot up to smooth isotopy. The enhancement consists of the (fully noncommutative) Legendrian contact homology associated to the union of the conormal torus of the knot and a disjoint cotangent fiber sphere, along with a product on a filtered part of this homology. As a corollary, we obtain a new, holomorphic-curve proof of a result of the third author that the Legendrian isotopy class of the conormal torus is a complete knot invariant.

 Known in the English-speaking countries as black ambrosia beetle (Figure 15), it is a polyphagous pest originating in Asia and attacks more than 200 shrub and tree species, cultivated and wild, and is one of the few ambrosia beetles infesting healthy plants (COGNATO, 2005).
 Its worldwide distribution was reported by Tenbrink and Hara (2006). It is widespread in all areas of coffee cultivation worldwide, being considered a serious pest in French Guiana. It is also widely distributed in tropical areas of West and East Africa, Fiji, India, Java, Madagascar, Malaysia and Sumatra (DAVIS, 1963, NELSON; DAVIS, 1972), including Brazil and Cuba (DIXON; WOODRUFF,1982).The main hosts are avocado, anthurium, cocoa, arabica coffee, citrus,cypress, eucalyptus, guava, hibiscus, lychee, macadamia, mango, mahogany and orchids (TENBRINK; HARA, 2006). In Brazil, X. compactus is reported among the main species of Scolytinae in primary forest in the State of Amazonas (ABREU; FONSECA; MARQUES, 1997). It is reported to occur in robusta coffee trees in the southern state of Bahia (MATIELLO; NEVES; SILVA, 1999) and conilon coffee in the northern region of Espírito Santo (DARÉ; FORNAZIER, 2005; MATIELLO; FREITAS, 2005). In conilon coffee, this pest attacks the branches and lead them to dry (Figure 16).

description: We investigated r-process nucleosynthesis in magneto-rotational supernovae, based on a new explosion mechanism induced by the magneto-rotational instability. A series of axisymmetric magneto-hydrodynamical simulations with detailed microphysics including neutrino heating is performed, numerically resolving the magneto-rotational instability. Neutrino-heating dominated explosions, enhanced by magnetic fields, showed mildly neutron-rich ejecta producing nuclei up to $A \sim 130$ (i.e. the weak r-process), while explosion models with stronger magnetic fields reproduce a solar-like r-process pattern. More commonly seen abundance patterns in our models are in between the weak and regular r-process, producing lighter and intermediate mass nuclei. These {\it intermediate r-processes} exhibit a variety of abundance distributions, compatible with several abundance patterns in r-process-enhanced metal-poor stars. The amount of Eu ejecta $\sim 10^{-5} M_\odot$ in magnetically-driven jets agrees with predicted values in the chemical evolution of early galaxies. In contrast, neutrino-heating dominated explosions have a significant amount of Fe ($^{56}{\rm Ni}$) and Zn, comparable to regular supernovae and hypernovae, respectively. These results indicate magneto-rotational supernovae can produce a wide range of heavy nuclei from iron-group to r-process elements, depending on the explosion dynamics.

description: This paper presents a proposal to build a test bench for electromagnetic forming processes. The project considers the analysis of the electrical circuit and forces involved in the system for selection of low voltage capacitors, resistors, buses, main discharge switch and material choice for actuator s insulation and rigidity, considering also the manufacturing process of actuators and dies. Among the aspects considered for the design, energy efficiency has been prioritized by the use of non-conducting material to the dies. Main switches by mechanical contact and spark gap types were used and its wear and functionality was assessed. Free bulging experiments were performed with aluminium AA1100 plates for a system configured with a flat coil actuator. Test measurements of electric currents in the coil actuator with and without the workpiece as the secondary circuit were performed, as well as an evaluation of wear and functionality of the system. It is observed that the main switch discharge is one of the most critical items of the system.

Termites cover more than 2 thousand species described in the world, and in Brazil, there are about 200 species. Although the importance of termites is known worldwide, especially in relation to the Neotropical regions fauna, little or no attention has been given to numerically estimating their populations and behavioral habits (foraging). Studies on biology, ecology and population dynamics have been conducted almost everywhere in the world, however our country, one of the largest places where the Isoptera order occurs, needs basic and applied studies.
Also known as Philippine milk termite, it can be found mainly in urban areas, it primarily attacks wood and building furniture, but it does not attack only dead wood. The species reaches many living plant tissues such as avocados, white angicos, cashew trees, sugarcane, casuarina trees, eucalyptus, imperial palm trees, ironwoods, oiti, cork trees and several other plants in urban and rural areas. It was reported for the first time by Mattos et al. (2001) in attack on conilon coffee roots in a rural area in the northern region of Espírito Santo.
Unlike mound building termites, they construct their colonies in inaccessible places and have the habit of foraging underground. They attack the roots of conilon coffee from newly planted seedlings to plants about two years old, leading to their fall. Attacks of this pest can lead to the plants death, including the oldest ones, with destruction of the roots and heartwood. The symptoms of its attack can be confused with nutritional deficiency or attack of other subterranean pests, being necessary the careful uprooting of the plants and roots examination to verify its occurrence.

 Atta spp differ from the Acromyrmex spp because they are larger, have three pairs of spines on the back of the thorax and have their nests composed of a varied number of chambers interconnected by channels. Acromyrmex spp are smaller ants than Atta spp, have four pairs of spines on the back of the thorax and have small anthills and usually formed of a single chamber.
Ants cut the plants leaves, especially newly planted seedlings in the field, delaying the development or even causing their death. This is the critical phase of its occurrence, since it can induce the replanting of a significant number of seedlings.
The fight against leaf-cutting ants in coffee plantations should be preventive and more intense in the period before the implantation of the crops, and should be done in a systematic way. It can be done using toxic baits or using gaseous ant killers or direct thermomist always aiming at the destruction of the anthill where the queen is.The control with the use of granulated ant baits has been shown to be efficient and low cost. They should be applied at dusk, in a dry place and protected from humidity.

description: Sensors are the first element of the pathways that control the response of cells to their environment. After chemical, the next most important cue is mechanical, and protein complexes that produce or enable a chemical signal in response to a mechanical stimulus are called mechanosensors. There is a sharp distinction between sensing an external force or pressure/tension applied to the cell, and sensing the mechanical stiffness of the environment. We call the first mechanosensitivity of the 1st kind, and the latter mechanosensitivity of the 2nd kind. There are two variants of protein complexes that act as mechanosensors of the 2nd kind: producing either a one-off or a reversible action. The latent complex of TGF-$β$ is an example of the one-off action: on the release of active TGF-$β$ signal, the complex is discarded and needs to be replaced. In contrast, focal adhesion kinase (FAK) in a complex with integrin is a reversible mechanosensor, which initiates the chemical signal in its active phosphorylated conformation, but can spontaneously return to its closed folded conformation. Here we study the physical mechanism of the reversible mechanosensor of the 2nd kind, using FAK as a practical example. We find how the rates of conformation changes depend on the substrate stiffness and the pulling force applied from the cell cytoskeleton. The results compare well with the phenotype observations of cells on different substrates.

description: A concept of bypass rewiring is introduced and random bypass rewiring is analytically and numerically investigated with simulations. Our results show that bypass rewiring makes networks robust against removal of nodes including random failures and attacks. In particular, random bypass rewiring connects all nodes except the removed nodes on an even degree infinite network and makes the percolation threshold 0 for arbitrary occupation probabilities. In our example, the even degree network is more robust than the original network with random bypass rewiring while the original network is more robust than the even degree networks without random bypass. We propose a greedy bypass rewiring algorithm which guarantees the maximum size of the largest component at each step, assuming which node will be removed next is unknown. The simulation result shows that the greedy bypass rewiring algorithm improves the robustness of the autonomous system of the Internet under attacks more than random bypass rewiring.

description: EarthCube is an evolving socio-technical system that enables interactions between geo, computational, and information scientists to advance geoscience research and discovery, by reusing existing, developing new, and integrating geoscience cyberinfrastructure resources for the geosciences. The EarthCube system must capture and articulate technical capabilities useful to or required by the geoscience research community for system managers and funding authorities to direct evolution of the system. To improve the efficiency and effectiveness of research activities, the technology needs to match technical capabilities and expertise, on the one side, with needs of geoscientists expressed through a variety of use cases and research scenarios, on the other side. This matchmaking system is the technical essence of EarthCube. In a broader sense, EarthCube will also include the set of technical capabilities themselves, and provide mechanisms for managing and maintaining them through their lifecycles.

description: Resonance frequencies are complex eigenvalues at which the homogeneous transmission problems have non-trivial solutions. These frequencies are of interest because they affect the behavior of the solutions even when the frequency is real. The resonance frequencies are related to problems for infinite domains which can be solved efficiently with the Boundary Integral Equation Method (BIEM). We thus consider a numerical method of determining resonance frequencies with fast BIEM and the Sakurai-Sugiura projection Method (SSM). However, BIEM may have fictitious eigenvalues even when one uses Müller or PMCHWT formulations which are known to be resonance free when the frequency is real valued. In this paper, we propose new BIEs for transmission problems with which one can distinguish true and fictitious eigenvalues easily. Specifically, we consider waveguide problems for the Helmholtz equation in 2D and standard scattering problems for Maxwell's equations in 3D. We verify numerically that the proposed BIEs can separate the fictitious eigenvalues from the true ones in these problems. We show that the obtained true complex eigenvalues are related to the behavior of the solution significantly. We also show that the fictitious eigenvalues may affect the accuracy of BIE solutions in standard boundary value problems even when the frequency is real.

Emotion Regulation and Foreign Language Anxiety: A Mixed-Methods Study of Chinese Learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in Hong Kong

description: Current literature has consistently indicated the detriments of high levels of foreign language anxiety on language performance. However, a crucial piece of the puzzle remains missing: how learners may systematically learn to manage their own foreign language anxiety (FLA). The current study was designed with the argument that there lacked theory-driven literature to drive organised research. By drawing on an empirically-validated theoretical model in psychology called the Process Model of Emotion Regulation (Gross, 1998, 2005), the present mixed-methods study investigated the use of two emotion regulation strategies, cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression, among a sample of Chinese learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) at a university in Hong Kong. It also examined the relation between emotion regulation and FLA levels, and as a secondary line of inquiry, how emotion regulation influenced the link between FLA and second language motivation. The quantitative questionnaire surveyed 495 learners from different undergraduate years and academic disciplines. Sixteen informants of three levels (high, medium, low) of FLA were then selected for the qualitative research, of which the main component was a stimulated recall interview. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, data collection was conducted online. Results showed that the two emotion regulation strategies were not often used, with cognitive reappraisal being more frequently used than expressive suppression. Cognitive reappraisal was less common and popular among learners with low English proficiency. The likely reason is twofold: a) cognitive reappraisal is complicated and demands cognitive resources; b) the low English proficiency strains cognitive resources. Expressive suppression had a more pervasive positive relation with FLA. Cognitive reappraisal was negatively correlated with FLA but the influence was limited to speaking with native speakers. Three important over-arching conditions were identified to be necessary for effective FLA regulation. Methodological limitations and suggestions on pedagogy and future research are discussed.

description: The mass and meson-current coupling constant of the resonance $X(5568)$, as well as the width of the decay $X(5568)\to B_s^{\ast}π$ are calculated by modeling the exotic $X(5568)$ resonance as a diquark-antidiquark state $% X_b=[su][bd]$ with quantum numbers $J^{P}=1^{+}$. The calculations are made employing QCD two-point sum rule method, where the quark, gluon and mixed vacuum condensates up to dimension eight are taken into account. The sum rule approach on the light-cone in its soft-meson approximation is used to explore the vertex $X_bB_{s}^{\ast}π$ and extract the strong coupling $% g_{X_bB_{s}^{\ast}π}$, which is a necessary ingredient to find the width of the $X_b \to B_s^{\ast}π^{+}$ decay process. The obtained predictions are compared with the experimental data of the D0 Collaboration, and results of other theoretical works.

description: Purpose: The present paper presents developments and advanced practical applications of Rasch's theory and statistical analysis to construct questionnaires for measuring a person's traits. The flaws of questionnaires providing raw scores are well known. Scores only approximate objective, linear measures. The Rasch Analysis allows you to turn raw scores into measures with an error estimate, satisfying fundamental measurement axioms (e.g., unidimensionality, linearity, generalizability). A previous companion article illustrated the most frequent graphic and numeric representations of results obtained through Rasch Analysis. A more advanced description of the method is presented here. Conclusions: Measures obtained through Rasch Analysis may foster the advancement of the scientific assessment of behaviours, perceptions, skills, attitudes, and knowledge so frequently faced in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, not less than in social and educational sciences. Furthermore, suggestions are given on interpreting and managing the inevitable discrepancies between observed scores and ideal measures (data-model “misfit”). Finally, twelve practical take-home messages for appraising published results are provided.Implications for rehabilitationThe current work is the second of two papers addressed to rehabilitation clinicians looking for an in-depth introduction to the Rasch analysis.The first paper illustrates the most common results reported in published papers presenting the Rasch analysis of questionnaires.The present article illustrates more advanced applications of the Rasch analysis, also frequently found in publications.Twelve take-home messages are given for a critical appraisal of the results.
