description: The use of sugar foam (industrial waste from sugar beet extraction) as an acidic soil (raña) liming agent has been studied in a singular winegrowing region. The contents of the major elements (Al, Ca, Fe, K, Na, Mg, S, Si) and trace elements (As, Ba, Ce, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Ga, Hf, La, Mo, Nb, Nd, Ni, Pb, Rb, Sc, Sn, Sr, Ta, Th, U, V, W, Y, Zn, Zr) in the original soil, the amended soil and in grapevine leaves has been measured by X-ray fluorescence. The addition of sugar foam modified the agronomic properties of the original soil. The amendment caused a slight increase in major elements (Ca, 10.4 g·kg-1; Mg, 1.9 g·kg-1 and K, 12.9 g·kg-1) and decreased Al (from 62 to 57.8 g·kg-1) and Fe (from 41.2 to 26.5 g·kg-1) content. Regarding trace elements, there was an increase in levels of Ba, Rb and Sr in the amended soil in comparison to the original soil. The major elements that accumulated in the vine leaf were Ca, Mg and S (Biological Absorption Coefficient, BAC, greater than 1). As for trace elements in leaf, Ba and Sr had a "medium" BAC (0.27 and 0.8, respectively) whereas Rb had a "slight"value (0.08). It is worth noting that the bioaccumulation rate of Zn was greater than 1. The use of sugar foam as a liming agent did not have a negative effect on the absorption of major and trace elements in vine leaves and led to improved BAC values for essential elements in the grapevine. The treatment did not increase the amount of trace elements in the soil above the reference levels for the region.

description: The mechanisms by which low temperature affects flowering and fruit set of grapevines are poorly understood, as is the specific response of the grapevine root system and inflorescence to low temperature effects that reduce fruit set. This study aimed to determine the responses of the root system and inflorescence of the grapevine 'Chardonnay' to low temperature (10 °C) during flowering, and considered the possible mechanisms of low temperature effects on those parts. Temperature treatments of 10 °C or 20 °C were imposed to potted 'Chardonnay' grapevines in a glasshouse for up to two weeks during the early stages of flowering. When the root system alone was exposed to 10 °C (with the rest of the plant at 20 °C) during flowering, the number of attached berries and percentage fruit set were significantly reduced by 50 % than when the root system alone was exposed to 20 °C. Whereas, exposure of the inflorescence alone to 10 °C (with the rest of the plant at 20 °C) delayed flowering, allowed rachis to grow longer, and increased both the number of attached berries (from 22 to 62 per vine) and fruit set (from 8 % to 20 %), than when the inflorescence alone was exposed to 20 °C. This study will enhance our understanding of the possible mechanisms of low temperature effects on grapevine fruit set and productivity.

description: Lipofilling is an option for breast reconstruction after tumor resection to avoid the complications of an implant-based reconstruction. Although some concerns exist regarding the oncological safety of tissue rich in mesenchymal stem cells with their proangiogenic and proliferation-supportive properties, there are also reports that adipose-tissue-derived stem cells can exhibit antitumoral properties. We isolated primary adipose-tissue-derived stem cells. Both conditioned medium and exosomes were harvested from the cell culture and used to treat the breast cancer cell line MCF-7. Cell viability, cytotoxicity, and gene expression of MCF-7 cells in response to the indirect co-culture were evaluated. MCF-7 cells incubated with exosomes from adipose-tissue-derived stem cells show reduced cell viability in comparison to MCF-7 cells incubated with adipose-tissue-derived stem-cell-conditioned medium. Expression of proapoptotic genes was upregulated, and expression of antiapoptotic genes was downregulated. The debate about the oncological safety of autologous fat grafting after tumor resection continues. Here, we show that exosomes from adipose-tissue-derived stem cells exhibit some antitumoral properties on breast cancer cell line MCF-7.

description: This article reports single-grain multi-elemental results (Sr, Y, Th, U, and rare earth elements) obtained in 966 apatites from 18 rocks (sandstones and granitoids) that were sampled from the Mesozoic (Todos Santos and San Ricardo Formations) and Eocene (the El Bosque Formation) successions as well as from the Permian–Triassic Chiapas Massif Complex (CMC), all of which are exposed within the Sierra de Chiapas (SCH), SE Mexico. The objectives of the present study are (1) to establish changes in provenance between the Mesozoic and Eocene sedimentary sequences using single-grain apatite geochemistry, and (2) to identify source areas for siliciclastic materials from the Todos Santos, San Ricardo, and the El Bosque Formations. The results of the present work strongly suggest that apatites from the Todos Santos and San Ricardo Formations were mainly derived from intermediate to felsic I-type granitoids as well as from arc-related volcanic rocks, indicating that the CMC basement was the most important source area for the Mesozoic sandstones in the SCH. An abrupt change in provenance from Mesozoic to Eocene units was identified based on single-grain apatite geochemistry. Detrital apatites of the Ypresian–Lutetian El Bosque Formation were derived from diverse source rocks such as mafic–ultramafic rocks, intermediate to felsic I-type plutons, strongly fractionated S-type granites and pegmatites, as well as from different metamorphic source lithologies (including high-pressure rocks) such as gneisses, migmatites, metapelites, and/or eclogites. It was proposed, therefore, that most Eocene sediments of the SCH were derived from the Guatemala Suture Complex, which involves all the rock types mentioned above. A minor portion of the El Bosque Formation sediments was derived from the CMC area and/or from recycled sandstones from the Mesozoic Todos Santos and San Ricardo Formations. Some advantages and disadvantages of provenance studies based on detrital apatite chemistry were also observed and briefly discussed.

description: A flexible and extensible modular multi-disciplinary framework has been developed, in order to undertake design space exploration and multi-disciplinary optimization assessments of novel Ultra High Bypass Ratio (UHBR) and open rotor concepts at aircraft mission level. The framework comprises advanced engine performance simulation modelling capabilities, coupled with turbomachinery component aerodynamic design, flow path and weight estimation as well as aircraft performance, for mission level assessments. Advanced numerical solvers and optimization algorithms are integrated in the framework. The capabilities developed are used to optimize the design of a UHBR (Ultra High Bypass Ratio) geared turbofan configuration with a Variable Area Nozzle, for short/medium range applications and an EIS of 2025. The objective is to minimize the amount of fuel burn, an objective that leads to both minimum CO2 production and fuel costs. Both single and multi-objective (several missions) optimizations are performed, for representative civil aircraft missions (range from 300 nm to 4000 nm). Based on the technology level assumptions made and the constraints imposed in the design, fuel burn reduction (and therefore CO2 emissions) in excess of 18% are anticipated, compared to conventional current day engines. The work has been undertaken within Clean Sky 2 project DEMOS, in line with efforts to meet the long term ACARE targets to reduce aircraft CO2, NOx and noise emissions.

description: For the normalization of citation counts, two different kinds of methods are possible and used in bibliometrics: the cited-side and citing-side normalizations both of which can also be applied in the normalization of “Mendeley reader counts”. Haunschild and Bornmann (2016a) introduced the paper-side normalization of reader counts (mean normalized reader score, MNRS) which is an adaptation of the cited-side normalization. Since the calculation of the MNRS needs further data besides data from Mendeley (a field-classification scheme, such as the Web of Science subject categories), we introduce here the reader-side normalization of reader counts which is an adaptation of the citing-side normalization and does not need further data from other sources, because self-assigned Mendeley disciplines are used. In this study, all articles and reviews of the Web of Science core collection with publication year 2012 (and a DOI) are used to normalize their Mendeley reader counts. The newly proposed indicator (mean discipline normalized reader score, MDNRS) is obtained, compared with the MNRS and bare reader counts, and studied theoretically and empirically. We find that: (i) normalization of Mendeley reader counts is necessary, (ii) the MDNRS is able to normalize Mendeley reader counts in several disciplines, and (iii) the MNRS is able to normalize Mendeley reader counts in all disciplines. This generally favorable result for the MNRS in all disciplines lead to the recommendation to prefer the MNRS over the MDNRS – provided that the user has an external field-classification scheme at hand.

We also report a set of new field data mainly based on mosquito immature sampling in aquatic habitats during the summers 1998 and 2012, in both Scotland (20 data) and England (11 data). The occurrences in Scotland (263 data in total) include a total mosquito fauna of 18 species. They include, for the British Isles, the northernmost record of Anopheles claviger sensu stricto, collected on Orkney, and the northernmost record of Culex pipiens, collected on Shetland, both in 2012. The latter is the northernmost mosquito record of Great Britain to date.

description: The decline of grapevines due to esca and Botryosphaeria dieback (Bot. dieback) is a serious problem in the Alsace region of France. A survey of 82 vineyards over 8 years showed that among a set of agronomical and cultural variables, esca and Bot. dieback prevalence correlated to the harvest dates, especially late harvest dates for the production of sweet wines. The interpretation of this finding that points to the carbon balance of the vine and its reserves status as possible causation is discussed. Under this hypothesis the data also point to climatic variables as factors in the disease epidemiology, with a lag phase of about one year.

description: A series of hybrids, which are composed of glycyrrhetic acid (GA) and slowly hydrogen sulfide-releasing donor ADT-OH, were designed and synthesized to develop anticancer and anti-inflammatory agents. Most of the compounds, whose inhibitory rates were comparable to or higher than those of GA and aspirin, respectively, significantly inhibited xylene-induced ear edema in mice. Especially, compound V4exhibited the most potent inhibitory rate of 60.7%. Furthermore, preliminary structure–activity relationship studies demonstrated that 3-substituted GA derivatives had stronger anti-inflammatory activities than the corresponding 3-unsubstituted GA derivatives. In addition, anti-proliferative activities of compounds V1−9 were evaluated in three different human cancer cell lines. Compound V4 showed the most high potency against all three tumor cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 10.01 μM in Hep G2 cells to 17.8 μM in MDA-MB-231 cells, which were superior to positive GA.

description: Citation: Matthews, Jacqueline 2013 Diverse and Constantly Changing: A Study of Technological Organisation at Nawarla Gabarnmang. Unpublished BA(Hons) Thesis, Department of Archaeology, The University of Queensland, Queensland. https://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.2550424.v1
Abstract: This thesis examines the lithic technology of Nawarla Gabarnmang, a rockshelter in Jawoyn Country, Arnhem Land, with evidence for human occupation spanning ~45,000 years ago to the present. The colonisation of Sahul was an important event in the story of anatomically and behaviourally modern humans. Despite the demonstrated behavioural and symbolic complexity of the earliest occupants, traditional approaches to Australian lithic technology have emphasised the static and simplistic nature of Pleistocene technology, contrasting it with an inventive Holocene period. This project provides new evidence on this issue by examining the lithic assemblage from Nawarla Gabarnmang to investigate technological complexity and change in Australian prehistory. This project utilised debitage attribute analysis coupled with the theoretical framework of technological organisation to explain the nature of variation in the lithic assemblage. Initial results indicate that the sequence from Nawarla Gabarnmang demonstrates a flexible and adaptive approach to technology throughout time with changing technological strategies emerging in response to variation in environmental contexts. Overall, this thesis demonstrates that Pleistocene technology in Australia was a part of a flexible land-use strategy that solved the problem of making a living in a landscape of changing resource structure. The findings of this thesis emphasise the value of continuing to test previous assumptions about the nature of Pleistocene Aboriginal societies and has provided new evidence that further challenges the notion of a simple two-stage sequence and a unilinear trajectory towards complexity in Australian lithic technology.

description: If N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N′-phenylurea (CPPU) could induce sex conversion in male plants of Vitis amurensis Rupr., this would reduce blindness of selection for male parents according to the fruit characters in cold-tolerant and disease-tolerant grape crossbreeding. Flower bud samples of male plants were treated with 100 mg∙L-1 CPPU at 15 days before anthesis. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) was used to analyze the proteins related to sex conversion at different development time points. More than 600 protein spots were detected. Among them, 31 differentially expressed proteins were identified by MALDI-TOF/TOF, and 24 protein spots could be assigned to a probable function. Seventeen proteins participated in the sex conversion and with complex interaction. Sex conversion might receive the ROS signal in the beginning, and then pollen tube proteins were proposed to down-regulate to repress the stamen development, while the up-regulated cell elongation protein might promote the development of pistil. Adenine phosphoribosyl transferase 3 was proposed as the key protein in the sex organ conversion that was up-regulated by CPPU in the male V. amurensis achieving the ability to fruit in the end.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Shoot tips and/or single-bud-internodes, containing shoot apical meristems (SAM) were presented, of Vitis '6-12-2', derived from a Chinese wild V. pseudoreticulata 'Baihe-35-1' × V. vinifera 'Carignane' cross, were used for Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation. In order to achieve Glyoxal oxidase (VpGLOX) overexpressing plants, the propagation and gene transfer system of shoot tips and/or single-bud-internodes undergoing either micropropagated (starting with microshoot- tips) or callus induced (starting with stems with single bud) in vitro plants were optimized. The results show that the most effective way to gain shoot tips and/or single-bud-internodes undergoing micropropagation procedure was to keep micro-shoot-tips in liquid C2D4B medium at 80 rpm constant orbital shaking with light, then placed on solidified C2D4B medium with 2.9 μM Gibberellic acid 3 (GA3) for elongation. In vitro stems with single buds gave best results for callus formation and adventitious buds induction on half-strength MS medium with 9.0 μM Thidiazuron (TDZ) and 2.9 μM mg·L-1 α-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). The highest gene transfer frequency was obtained when explants were infected for 10 min with the concentration of Agrobacterium tumefaciens with an optical density at 600 nm of 0.4, and then co-cultivated for 3 days. Incubation of shoot tips and/or single-bud-internodes in darkness for 3 days is helpful for enhancing gene transfer efficiency. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and PCR-Southern blot analyses were utilized to confirm putative transgenic plants. Up to 45 clones have proven to be transformed, and one of them has been planted out. This method opens a door for the gene transfer of recalcitrant Chinese wild V. pseudoreticulata.

description: Several incidents report misuse of synthetic speech for impersonation attacks, spreading misinformation, and supporting financial frauds. To counter such misuse, this dissertation focuses on developing methods for speech forensics. First, we present a method to detect compressed synthetic speech. The method uses comparatively 33 times less information from compressed bit stream than used by existing methods and achieve high performance. Second, we present a transformer neural network method that uses 2D spectral representation of speech signals to detect synthetic speech. The method shows high performance on detecting both compressed and uncompressed synthetic speech. Third, we present a method using an interpretable machine learning approach known as disentangled representation learning for synthetic speech detection. Fourth, we present a method for synthetic speech attribution. It identifies the source of a speech signal. If the speech is spoken by a human, we classify it as authentic/bona fide. If the speech signal is synthetic, we identify the generation method used to create it. We examine both closed-set and open-set attribution scenarios. In a closed-set scenario, we evaluate our approach only on the speech generation methods present in the training set. In an open-set scenario, we also evaluate on methods which are not present in the training set. Fifth, we propose a multi-domain method for synthetic speech localization. It processes multi-domain features obtained from a transformer using a ResNet-style MLP. We show that with relatively less number of parameters, the proposed method performs better than existing methods. Finally, we present a new direction of research in speech forensics i.e., bias and fairness of synthetic speech detectors. By bias, we refer to an action in which a detector unfairly targets a specific demographic group of individuals and falsely labels their bona fide speech as synthetic. We show that existing synthetic speech detectors are gender, age and accent biased. They also have bias against bona fide speech from people with speech impairments such as stuttering. We propose a set of augmentations that simulate stuttering in speech. We show that synthetic speech detectors trained with proposed augmentation have less bias relative to detector trained without it.

description: This qualitative paper explores the use of qualitative interviews within social science research, emphasizing the critical need for data validity and reliability, challenges that are particularly pronounced for researchers new to conducting structured interviews. Conducting a pilot test is a critical step in refining the qualitative data collection process, offering researchers an opportunity to enhance the actual interview based on preliminary findings. This paper outlines the methodology employed in a pilot study aimed at verifying the validity of qualitative data concerning the experiences of international students in a small liberal art college in the USA. Additionally, the paper highlights the significance of pilot testing the interview framework. A semi-structured interview format was chosen for the pilot, conducted with undergraduate students. The outcomes from this pilot test indicate that the chosen interview instrument is effective in capturing the nuanced aspects of the students' experiences.

description: Ubiquitous in machine learning regularized empirical risk minimization problems are often composed of several blocks which can be treated using different types of oracles, e.g., full gradient, stochastic gradient or coordinate derivative. Optimal oracle complexity is known and achievable separately for the full gradient case, the stochastic gradient case, etc. We propose a generic framework to combine optimal algorithms for different types of oracles in order to achieve separate optimal oracle complexity for each block, i.e. for each block the corresponding oracle is called the optimal number of times for a given accuracy. As a particular example, we demonstrate that for a combination of a full gradient oracle and either a stochastic gradient oracle or a coordinate descent oracle our approach leads to the optimal number of oracle calls separately for the full gradient part and the stochastic/coordinate descent part.

description: Aims To examine the long-term persistence and safety of the non-vitamin-K-antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) dabigatran (D), rivaroxaban (R) and apixaban (A) in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) treated in the framework of a well structured, nurse-based AF unit for initiation and follow-up of NOAC. Methods Retrospective clinical data were collected for 766 consequent patients from a single cardiology outpatient clinic incorporating the AF unit. Results The follow-up time, median (q1-q3), was 367 days (183–493) for D patients (n = 233), 432 days (255–546) for R patients (n = 282) and 348 days (267–419) for A patients (n = 251). No significant differences were found between the three groups with regard to age, sex, renal function, or CHA2DS2-VASc score. For all bleeding events the incidence rates per 100 patient-years of follow-up (95% confidence interval [CI], p-value) were reported more often for treatment with R (17.2, 12.7–22.8) than for D (7.0, 4.0–11.3, p = 0.001) and A (8.7, 5.2–13.6, p = 0.013). The differences remained significant after adjustment for clinically relevant variables. Discontinuation rates (n = 167) were lower for A (11.5, 7.5–16.8) than for D (30, 23.4–37.9, p p = 0.001), and were mainly attributed to drug-specific side effects and bleedings. The majority of discontinued patients (n = 142, 85%) proceeded with other types of oral anticoagulants. Limitation The main limitation of the study is the small patient population with a short follow-up time. Conclusion In a retrospective study at a single AF clinic, NOACs showed significantly different bleeding rates and varied discontinuation rates when compared to each other, related mainly to agent-specific side effects and bleedings. The majority of patients that discontinued proceeded with other types of oral anticoagulant.

description: Researchers in the usable privacy and security (UPS) field study privacy- and security-relevant perceptions and behaviors and aim to design systems that simul- taneously address requirements for usability/user experience, security, and privacy. Human-computer interaction (HCI) and social science research methods are well-suited to study many of the types of questions that are relevant in UPS, which often involve concepts such as subjective experience, attitudes, understanding, behavior and behavior change. However, there are many challenges specific to UPS that are not usually described in more generic methods textbooks. We highlight techniques for risk representation, options for participant recruitment, ethics-related topics in study design, and biases that may play a role in UPS studies with human participants.

description: Self-compacting concrete is identified as “highly flow able” and stable
concrete that can spread readily into place and fill the formwork without
any vibration and without undergoing any significant segregation. The
design of concrete mix is not a simple task on account of widely varying
properties of the constituent materials and many factors affect its target
value. The mix design problem is a multi-characteristic optimization
problem. However, in the present work, the problem is considered to the
single characteristic optimization problem and the characteristic to be
optimized strength of concrete. In the present paper, Okamora technique
has been applied to obtain optimum of SCC mix design to get the
mechanical and structural strength of concrete and cement is replaced
by GGBS and fine aggregate is replaced by Robo sand and the
experimentation work includes the fresh properties tests on SCC to know
the characteristic behaviour and the hardened properties of SCC is
determined to know the compression strength, split tensile strength,
flexural strength of beams and durability properties.

description: Xylotrechus arvicola (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) (Olivier) is a polyphagous borer which attacks different woody species in natural habitats in Spain. This coleopteran is also becoming a real impacting pest in several Spanish wine producing territories. Infested vines show adult exit holes, rachitic shoots, a higher incidence of wood fungal diseases and fragility. At the beginning of the 1990s, a heavy increase of infestation was observed in La Rioja vineyards, the only Qualified Guarantee of Origin Region (A.O.C.) in Spain. Due to the endophytic development of the larvae of X. arvicola, adults are the designated target for the integrated management. Therefore, the aim of the present paper was to study the flight period of the pest and to calculate the value of degree-days for the emergence of both sexes from data collected in the field during 2003-2008 in a Tempranillo cultivar in Tirgo (La Rioja). Adult emergences occurred from the end of May to mid-August and a certain degree of protandry was detected. The predictive models obtained for each year fit a sinusoidal curve in all cases, except for males in 2004, when the adjustment was polynomial. The obtained correlation coefficients were considerably high, as the value 0.99 was exceeded in 72 % of the cases. These results obtained in La Rioja vineyards suggest that control strategies aimed at the reduction of the adult population of X. arvicola in the view of the integrated management, should be performed between mid-June and the end of July.

description: Nitrogen supply and rootstock have important consequences for the composition and quantity of nitrogenous compounds in the must, both of which impact on fermentation rate and wine quality. In the Sunraysia district (SE Australia), musts prepared from 'Shiraz' grapes from vines grafted onto three rootstocks and supplied with five different nitrogen (N) regimes were fermented to dryness. Leaf N at flowering and veraison, and berry and juice total N at harvest was influenced by N supply, but the juice total assimilable amino N pool was less sensitive. Consumption rate of soluble solids during fermentation was strongly and positively linearly related to %N in the petioles at veraison. The relationship described could be the basis of a tool to provide oenologists with timely data before harvest and receival on likely fermentation behaviour of specific parcels of grapes, and provide viticulturalists with another recognisable developmental stage to assess the efficacy of vineyard N management strategies within a season.
