Genetic control of anthracnose resistance in sorghum
Creators: name: Bayable, Demeke M

Year: 2020
Subjects: Crop and pasture improvement (incl. selection and breeding)

description: Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench] is a major cereal crop of global importance. The crop is grown for food, feed, biofuel and other applications. Among major production constraints of the crop worldwide is sorghum anthracnose that is caused by the fungal pathogen Colletotrichum sublineolum. Despite the extensive diversity for genetic resistance to the pathogen in the sorghum natural variation, specific resistance genes have not been identified. Consequently, the molecular mechanisms of resistance to the disease are poorly understood. The paucity of knowledge on resistance genes has hampered crop improvement and studies on mechanisms of resistance to the resistance. In this study, we report the identification of two ANTHRACNOSE RESISTANCE GENES (ARG2 and ARG3) that control sorghum resistance to anthracnose. Initially, by screening a collection of sorghum natural variants, we identified genotypes that carry race specific resistance to strains of the pathogen. Bulked Segregant Analyses of genomic DNA raw-reads (BSA-Seq) in biparental mapping populations followed by recombination and comparative genomic analyses were conducted to determine the specific sequence variation in ARG2 and ARG3 loci that underpin the differences in disease phenotype. The identity of the ARG genes and their genetic link to resistance were validated using independent alleles from distinct germplasm sources. The ARG2 locus harbors a cluster of duplicate NB-LRR genes with complex structural and functional relationships in different sorghum lines. ARG2 encodes a canonical resistance protein with CC-NBS-LRR structure and confers complete resistance to some strains of the pathogen. Near-isogenic lines (NILs) that differ in the ARG2 locus showed that the expression of defense response genes is associated to the resistance and provided further insight to the effect of ARG2 locus on the growth of the resistant lines. The ARG3 locus has significant genomic rearrangements in different sorghum lines and a unique genomic feature in the resistant line. ARG3 is likely a novel resistance gene with no homolog identified in the plant kingdom. Intriguingly, ARG3 is located within a large genomic region showing striking synteny of genes between rice and sorghum. ARG3 confers resistance to a strain of the pathogen that is virulent on sorghum lines that are known for broad-spectrum resistance. The identification of ARG2 and ARG3 will contribute to breeding for sorghum anthracnose resistance and to studies on the genetic control of anthracnose disease. Additional implications of these findings, future studies and the advances made over previous studies are discussed.

subject: Food sustainability

description: Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a vital crop for over 500 million people worldwide, particularly in developing countries, especially Africa. Its role in food security, livelihoods, and various industries has spurred extensive research. This study ofers a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of cassava research trends over the past two decades (2000–2023), utilizing data from the Scopus database and exploring the global production and trade outlook for this important crop. Globally, Nigeria’s production of 63 million tonnes of cassava in 2021 represented about 20% of the world’s total, securing its position as the leading producer. Thailand led cassava exports, reaching a value of $1.29 billion, while China dominated imports with a value of $1.48 billion for cassava products. The study analysis reveals 13,238 publications with 245,020 citations and an h-index of 41, indicating a consistent growth in research output over the past two decades. Brazil emerged as the most prolifc contributor, accounting for 13.8% of the publications, followed by Nigeria and China. The study highlights signifcant disparities in research output and funding between developed and developing nations. Although Nigeria is the world’s leading producer, the research landscape is dominated by developed countries. These fndings underscore the need for increased investment and collaborative eforts to enhance research capacity in developing countries, particularly in Africa. By identifying knowledge gaps and fostering global partnerships, we can accelerate progress towards sustainable cassava production and utilisation for the beneft of all.

A Nominalist Theory of Content

Subjects: Philosophy of language
Philosophy not elsewhere classified

description: Philosophers who affirm the existence of propositions contend that the contents of declarative sentences, beliefs, doubts, and so on are entities (the things picked out by the term “propositions”), and that these entities have truth-values. Unsurprisingly, there’s rampant disagreement among those philosophers about sorts of things are called “propositions”. Propositions have been identified with sui generis abstract objects, interpreted facts, properties, and types of cognitive acts (this is not an exhaustive list). Despite this debate, most agree that propositions are representations (this is how they come to have truth-values), and that propositions are not to be identified with token mental representations. I agree that propositions are representations, but argue that propositions are mental representation tokens. The view I defend has sparse contemporary support, but has an impressive pedigree—ancestral views were widely popular in the late medieval, and early modern periods. In this dissertation I argue at length against contemporary criticisms that this view is still credible.In chapter one, I defend a mentalist semantics; that is, I argue that linguistic representation is parasitic on mental representation: for a sentence to mean that p is for it to express (or be conventionally used to express) the thought that p. Once this is established, I argue in chapter two that mental representations (as opposed to non-mental ones) are ideal candidates to serve as the contents of sentences and propositional attitudes. I compare my preferred view, that propositions are token mental representations, against rival views (sorted into two groups) and show that a cost benefit analysis of each favors my position. In chapter three, I start exploring what these mental representations might be like. I argue that they’re structured entities whose constituents are modes of presentation of the things represented. I decline to analyze the relation which unites these modes of presentation, but argue (contra some contemporary philosophers) that this relation is not predication. Finally, in chapter four, I argue against the widely popular view that propositions have the things they’re about as constituents. I show that such a view cannot accommodate thoughts about nonexistent entities. I propose that the modes of presentation which are constituents of propositions are non-descriptive, but criticize the mental file conception of non-descriptive modes of presentation.

description: Background: Several types of suture anchors, which differ in their working principles, are available for fixation of ligamentous structures in knee surgery. How the choice of a suture anchor type influences the biomechanical stability of ligament fixation is largely unknown. Purpose: To compare the biomechanical properties of different suture anchor designs regarding primary stability for tendon fixation and repair in medial collateral ligament (MCL) surgery. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: The primary stability of MCL fixation was assessed in a porcine model utilizing 1 of 3 suture anchor types: a 5.5-mm titanium suture anchor (TSA), a 2.8-mm all-suture anchor (ASA), or a 5.5-mm polyether ether ketone knotless suture anchor (KLSA). Primary stability was assessed using a uniaxial material testing machine. Cyclic loading at 50 N and 100 N was applied for 500 cycles each, followed by a load-to-failure test. Results: After 500 cycles at 50 N, the KLSA (2.4 ± 0.3 mm) showed significantly (P < .05) reduced elongation in comparison to the TSA (4.0 ± 0.9 mm) and ASA (3.6 ± 0.7 mm), and after 500 cycles at 100 N, the KLSA (6.5 ± 1.4 mm) again showed significantly (P < .05) reduced elongation in comparison to the TSA (11.0 ± 2.2 mm) and ASA (12.0 ± 3.6 mm). However, the KLSA (213 ± 27 N) showed a significantly (P < .05) inferior ultimate failure load in comparison to the TSA (300 ± 20 N) and ASA (348 ± 23 N). In comparison to the TSA (113.0 ± 11.0 N/mm) and ASA (113.6 ± 14.4 N/mm), the KLSA (150.7 ± 11.6 N/mm) displayed the highest stiffness (P < .05). No significant differences were observed regarding yield load. Conclusion: KLSAs displayed significantly reduced elongation, at the cost of a reduced ultimate failure load, in comparison to TSAs and ASAs.
Clinical Relevance: Surgeons should be aware that differences exist between different suture anchor types regarding their biomechanical stability. KLSAs may be favorable for fixation of peripheral ligaments in knee surgery.

description: The Serbian uprising in 1996/1997 was an attempt to overthrow the dictatorship of president Milosevic after he annulled elections because of the opposition party’s victory. Ashamed by the unsuccessful outcome of their protest, the people of the capital Belgrade, have never produced an archive of the photos, banners and graffiti, which emerged during these demonstrations. Scarce information on the Internet and the inability of the media to reveal the data gathered during the protest has left the public without a full account of the uprising. My project is that archive – the map of images, leaflets, badges, flags, vouchers, cartoons, crochets, poems etc., an online record of the elucidated protest available to the participants, scholars and the public.

The narratives of this event have been locked within the community and there are only odd visual references hidden in people’s houses. My research has generated them through interviews and image elicitation that looks at the uprising by analysing these accumulated historic relics. Presented in sections on the website (timelines, artists, routes) and pages of art formats (poems, photos, badges), this overview of the geographical, political and social circumstances within which the protest’s artwork was produced demonstrates how it influenced the actions of the citizens.

This urban spectacle was enthused by the creative participation exposed in the walks of the masses that became the force of the protest. The reflexive method of my practice, just like this communal approach at the uprising challenges dominant representations of culture, history and politics from the whole of the Balkans. 

My online package for capturing the past (hi)stories shifts the official narratives, predominantly from the West and saturated by the wars of the ‘90s into only one possibility among others. It maps the failed revolution in Serbia under Milosevic from its beginnings, revealing the accomplishment of academics, artists and citizens buried under the war stories...

Subjects: subject: End of life, spiritual care, religion, belief, hospice, dying

description: This thesis explores the challenges and controversies that healthcare professionals who work in death and dying settings face when working with service users with religion, belief, and spiritual identities. The secular-minded modern history of the nation has left people precarious of religion and belief, lacking religious literacy (i.e. the ability to talk about it) (Dinham & Francis 2015). Religious literacy is a contested concept which is used as a lens through which this thesis is framed. The study was undertaken in hospices while it reports on data from a triangulation method, including participant observation, interviewing, and focus groups.
 
Healthcare professionals appear to have lost the ability to engage adequately with religion, belief, and spiritual identities of service users. Religion and belief have been approached as problems to be solved, rather than aspects to engage with. Solutions to deal with the religiously diverse service user population include equality and diversity laws that underpin respectful and non-judgmental attitudes, yet mask inclusivity with neutrality. Findings show that healthcare professionals are ambivalent toward discussing religion and belief related issues while the preference is to signpost service users to religious leaders or communities. Additionally, hospice organisations are currently undergoing many and various changes that are often washed down to professional practitioners. The changes include the removal of religious adornments from within the space, as well as amendments in relation to language on signs. The space is more like the portrayal of a largely secular nation that lacks proper abilities to engage with religion and belief. 

This study is merely opening up the dialogue in end of life care about adequate accommodation of religion, belief, and spiritual identities of service users in professional practice. This is paramount in order to fulfil requirements toward a fundamental aspect of hospice care; comforting service users from a holistic approach, beyond the bio-medical.

description: Spacecraft formation flying refers to the coordinated operation of a group of spacecraft with a common objective. While the concept has been in existence for a long time, practical fruition of the ideas was not possible earlier due to technological limitations. The topic has received widespread attention in the last decade, with the development of autonomous control, improved computational facilities and better communication technology. It allows a number of small, lightweight, economical spacecraft to work together to execute the function of a larger, heavier, more complex and expensive spacecraft. The primary advantage of such systems is that they are flexible, modular, and cost-effective.
The flexibility of formation flying and other derived concepts comes from the fact that the units are not physically attached, allowing them to change position or orientation when the need arises. To fully realize this possibility, it is important to develop methods for spatial reorganization. This thesis is an attempt to contribute to this development.
In this thesis, the reconfiguration problem has been formulated as a single system with multiple inputs and multiple outputs, while preserving the individuality of the agents to a certain degree. The agents are able to communicate with their neighbors by sharing information. In this framework, a distributed closed-loop stabilizing controller has been developed, that would drive the spacecraft formation to a target shape. An expression for the controller gain as a function of the graph Laplacian eigenvalues has also been derived. The practical applications of this work have been demonstrated through simulations

description: The global energy landscape is undergoing a significant transformation with a growing emphasis on sustainability and reduced carbon emissions. About 80% of the world’s CO2 emission comes from traditional fossil fuels, making them an important contributing factor to greenhouse gas emissions. However, bio-oil, a renewable and carbon-neutral liquid fuel derived from biomass, holds the potential for reducing carbon emissions. Recent studies have shown that bio-oil blending can reduce carbon emissions by up to 30% compared to traditional fossil fuels. Hence, this review delves into the potential of blending bio-oil with fossil fuels, exploring recent advancements in catalyst design. Novel catalysts are being developed to improve the efficiency of bio-oil processing techniques like catalytic cracking and hydrothermal liquefaction. These advancements aim to enhance bio-oil properties like stability, heating value, and miscibility with fossil fuels. Research suggests that these advancements could enable bio-oil contents in blends to reach up to 50% or higher, compared to the current limitations. We also highlighted ongoing investigations to optimize bio-oil-to-fossil fuel ratios for specific applications. This optimization considers factors like engine performance, emission reduction targets (e.g. achieving a 70% reduction in CO2 emissions), economic viability, and long-term storage stability of the blends. The environmental benefits and sustainability implications of such blending strategies are also discussed, offering valuable insights into the role of bio-oils in achieving cleaner and more sustainable energy systems. This review therefore underscores the potential of bio-oil blending as a viable pathway to bridge the gap between traditional fossil fuels and a more sustainable energy future, while also outlining the research directions and challenges that warrant further investigation in this promising field.

description: There is some evidence to suggest an absence of emotional activation about climate change, partly due to the perception of it as a distant phenomenon. Little research to date has also examined whether individual portrayals are best within the context of psychological distance. There is also a lack of studies that experimentally evaluate human and animal messaging using a causal research design. We examine human and animal effects and individual and group effects on a set of psychological and behavioral variables: psychological distance, positive emotions, negative emotions, pro-environmental intent, and donation behavior. We explore these variables across two separate experiments that manipulate the content of a hypothetical news article describing climate change impacts: one featuring drought in Ethiopia and the other featuring wildfires in Arizona. Findings suggest that the psychological distance subdimensions of geographic, hypotheticality, and temporal distance matter for climate change messages and that messages that emphasize impacts on animals may actually diminish distance on these subdimensions relative to messages that feature humans.

Over the past decade, awareness emerged that existing frameworks for regulation and oversight of research with human participants fit poorly with contemporary research. Although substantial and diverse literature touches on this dissonance from a variety of perspectives, the problem is illustrated most clearly by the 2011 to 2017 process undertaken to “modernize” the Common Rule, the federal regulations for the protection of human research subjects. During this process, the Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) sought public comment on a wide array of challenges they felt were not addressed adequately in existing regulations, and that they hoped to address in proposed revisions.

description: The principle of least effort suggests that animals should minimize effort to reinforcement. Thus, not pecking should be preferred over pecking. However, pigeons often peck when it is allowed but not required (e.g., fixed time schedules) but pecking may be adventitiously reinforced. In the present experiment, to better compare a schedule of reinforcement that requires pecking with one that requires the absence of pecking, we compared a fixed-interval (FI) schedule in which reinforcement follows the first peck after the interval has elapsed and a differential-reinforcement-of-other behavior (DRO) schedule which requires pigeons abstain from pecking for a similar interval. The delay to reinforcement was matched on a trial-by-trial basis by extending the duration of the FI to match the DRO schedule that preceded it. Of 12 pigeons, 6 preferred the DRO schedule over the FI schedule and 6 did not show a schedule preference. Those that were indifferent between the schedules had acquired the contingences, as they responded appropriately to the two schedules but had a spatial preference stronger than their schedule preference. Individual differences in the preference of the pigeons may be related to their behavior during the DRO.

description: The perceived temporal distance of climate change impacts has been considered a long-standing barrier to climate engagement. Because nostalgia has distinct cognitive properties related to temporal thinking, three experimental studies are conducted to investigate nostalgia's potential for shortening temporal distance. Study 1 shows that nostalgia increases climate engagement by reducing temporal distance. Study 2 further identifies vivid imagery as a mechanism for the nostalgia effects across US and Chinese samples. Study 3 shows that nostalgic public service announcements increase climate engagement more than non-nostalgic ones. This study provides strong evidence that evoking nostalgia can be a useful climate change communication strategy.

description: Biochar is a land-based greenhouse gas removal technology with potential to address the climate crisis. This article examines societal debate and discussion around biochar as represented in the UK print news media and reflects on its implications for the democratic governance of novel technologies. Using an “issue frame” analysis approach, the following frames are identified – Innovation, Economics, Security, Governance and Accountability, Risk, Justice, Substitution, Salvation and Tradition – with some more prominent than others. Economics and Innovation frames are particularly pronounced, together with the argument for market-based forms of governance, while Risk and Justice frames are weakly developed. The findings show that some frames and their associated actors dominate debate, while others are absent or side-lined. This might hinder opening up the debate to a wider group of stakeholders and publics and alternative framings, thus constraining effective governance of biochar.

description: Climate change is becoming a new front in the culture wars, with YouTube as one of its key arenas. Centered on an “Alternative Influence Network” orbiting Spain’s right-wing populist party Vox, this article examines the underexplored role of YouTube political influencers in propagating climate misinformation. Using thematic analysis, it uncovers instances of “post-denial” narratives that accept the reality of climate change while targeting climate policy and the climate movement, often through conspiracy theories and misogynistic rhetoric. Disagreements extend beyond policy specifics, intertwining with ongoing culture wars against a “woke wave” encompassing feminism, anti-racism, and now environmentalism. Amidst escalating opposition to Net Zero policies, the study sheds light on how these climate narratives reinforce “us” vs “them” binaries and appeal to feelings of resentment among young white males disoriented by rapid cultural change, who increasingly turn to YouTube for news and community. Despite these divisions, the study identifies potential common ground in environmental values and benefits like clean air.

Chirped-probe pulse femtosecond coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CPP fs CARS) was used to study high pressure gas-phase thermometry. The experimental measurements were mostly performed in a static gas cell and in a canonical flat flame burner. The purpose of this study is to provide insights for the future rocket relevant combustion measurements.
The optical effects associated with ultrashort pulse propagation in the high-pressure system were investigated. For example, the femtosecond pulse can receive large amount of frequency chirp when transmitting through thick glass windows of the optical section in the high-pressure system. The effects of pump and Stokes frequency chirp were investigated both experimentally, by inserting disks of SF11 glass into the pump and Stokes beam paths to study the flame thermometry, and theoretically by incorporating pulse chirp into the TDDM simulations to calculate the Raman excitation efficiency. Meanwhile, the ultrashort pulses can experience self-phase modulation in the high-pressure gas medium. The effects of self-phase modulation (SPM) on the power spectra of femtosecond pulses will have significant impact on the fs CARS profile. On the other hand, the extend and the behavior of SPM reply on the laser intensity and are also species-specific. The optimal laser intensities in high-pressure gas mediums like N2, O2, CO2 and CH4 were investigated.
To prepare for future rocket relevant combustion studies, CPP fs CARS thermometry was developed for CO2, O2 and H2. Especially for CO2 and O2, they have close vibrational frequencies but very different coherence dephasing rates. Relative concentration between CO2 and O2 can then be extracted by using a short probe delay, and the temperature information can be determined by using long probe delays and the O2 transitions will not interfere with CO2 and nonresonant contribution of the CARS signal can be suppressed. CO2 CPP fs CARS measurements inside the high-pressure high-temperature gas cell were presented and discussed. Collisional narrowing effects for CO2 especially for high gas number density situation were discussed.

description: Since the advent of the record, more than forty recordings of the Scriabin Sonata-Fantasy op. 19 n. 2 have been produced, as well as two piano rolls, with Igumnov (1911) and the composer himself performing the work (1910). This thesis sets out to analyse the evolution of performance style of this work within the last two centuries, using numerical values and music analysis software, in search of a verifiable analysis of performance traits. This study aims to detect strategies and techniques that performers of the work have used to form their performances. Observation is oriented to register long-scale and short-scale performance details, which are equally valuable in one’s preparation when practising a musical work. The actual sound of the sonata has been primarily assessed. The sonata is secondarily viewed as music text (Belaieff edition) and simultaneously compared to Scriabin’s own recorded performance on piano roll, which is valid only to a certain extent, due to recording technical impediments. The final goal of this research is to bring to light some neglected or merely underrated pianistic techniques, so as to inform the contemporary performer on different possibilities of expression. This experimentation could result in a richer musical language.

description: Environmental issues already disproportionately impact communities of color in the U.S., where there is a long and well-established history of environmental racism. Despite efforts to diversify voices in deliberation, engaging marginalized populations remains a key challenge. Drawing from environmental communication, civic empowerment, and social identity literatures, this study conducted a field experiment within an environmental deliberative event among Latinx communities. We examined (1) to what extent deliberation affects process – and outcome-based empowerment, and (2) the impact of factual vs. storytelling deliberative material on empowerment. Our findings show that deliberation increased process-based, but not outcome-based, empowerment on environmental issues. We also found that participants exposed to storytelling had a larger increase in empowerment compared to those exposed to factual materials during the deliberation day. Implications for designing culturally responsive deliberations for environmental communication are discussed.

description: Although it has been more than four decades that the first components-based software development (CBSD) studies were conducted, there is still no standard method or tool for component selection which is widely accepted by the industry. The gulf between industry and academia contributes to the lack of an accepted tool. We conducted a mixed methods survey of nearly 100 people engaged in component-based software engineering practice or research to better understand the problems facing industry, how these needs could be addressed, and current best practices employed in component selection. We also sought to identify and prioritize quality criteria for component selection from an industry perspective. In response to the call for CBSD component selection tools to incorporate recent technical advances, we also explored the perceptions of professionals about AI-driven tools, present and envisioned.
