description: A new copper(II) complex [Cu(adefovir)2Cl2], where adefovir = adefovir dipivoxil drug, was synthesized and characterized by using different physicochemical methods. Binding interaction of this complex with calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) has been investigated by multi-spectroscopic techniques and molecular modeling study. The complex displays significant binding properties to ct-DNA. The results of fluorescence and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy indicated that this complex interacted with ct-DNA in a groove binding mode and the binding constant was 4.3(±0.2)×104 M-1. The fluorimeteric studies showed that the reaction between the complex and ct-DNA is exothermic (ΔH = 73.91 KJ mol-1; ΔS = 357.83 J mol-1 K-1). Furthermore, the complex induces detectable changes in the CD spectrum of ct-DNA and slightly increases its viscosity which verified the groove-binding mode. The molecular modeling results illustrated that the complex strongly binds to the groove of DNA by relative binding energy of the docked structure -5.74 Kcal mol-1. All experimental and molecular modeling results showed that the Cu(II) complex binds to DNA by a groove-binding mode.

title: understanding the landscape ecology of invasive para grass (Urochloa mutica) on monsoonal wetlands, Kakadu National Park, Australia

description: Invasive para grass (Urochloa mutica), is widespread on monsoonal wetlands of Northern Australia, including World Heritage listed Kakadu National Park (KNP). A rational spatial framework is required to manage continuing invasions and set conservation objectives and priorities. Multispectral satellite imagery is applied to monitor para grass at medium and high spatial resolution on the 225 km2 Magela Creek floodplain of KNP. Knowledge- and object-based image analysis (OBIA) methods are developed to map vegetation, water depth and fire and used to assess: 1) the spatial vulnerability of native vegetation to invasion by para grass; and 2) the spatio-temporal dynamics of para grass on the floodplain. Changes in para grass distribution are mapped over a 42 km2 of the floodplain, biennially from 2002 to 2010 using high spatial resolution imagery. Accuracy was optimised by: 1) applying a novel method to standardise the scale of image objects used in classifications; and 2) testing different classification models built using Stochastic Gradient Boosting. Models were trained using samples from single- or multi-date sources and three different OBIA predictor variable sets. Single-date models were most accurate but not transferrable, possibly due to high temporal variability in wetland features and insufficient number of images. Nett para grass cover, patch connectivity and range increased over the decade, although spatial distribution was highly variable between years. Para grass distribution patterns were defined along a depth habitat gradient and change dynamics was also associated with site-specific fire histories. In years following fire, cover was reduced in ‘shallow’ and ‘moderate’ depth habitats but accelerated in ‘deep’ habitats. ‘Moderate’ depths showed the greatest rate of increase, more persistent increases occurred within the ‘shallow’ depth and no significant increase was detected in the ‘deep’ habitat. Native rice and Hymenachne grassland communities were most vulnerable to invasion. A trade-off is required between the scale, accuracy and precision of data and the need to cover extensive and remote areas in a timely and cost-effective manner. Also, extrapolation and validation at one scale requires comparative information sub sampled at finer scales. Adherence to a dedicated protocol for sampling of imagery and field information will reduce inconsistencies contributing to map uncertainty. Improved coordination of monitoring and controlling weeds over multiple scales will also improve the efficacy of management decisions.

description: Polysaccharides are important rheology modifying admixtures in the building material sector. The use of starch is becoming increasingly important, due to many ecological and economic advantages. In the construction sector, starch ethers are being used as thickeners and as means to increase the yield stress. The starch ethers that are available on the market differ in their behaviour, which can vary greatly depending upon the binder system and mortar composition, e.g. solid volume content, binder type, additional admixtures. In view of the limited knowledge about the influence of molecular modifications associated with cement based systems, some fundamental rheological functional mechanisms were analysed in this study. The differently modified starch ethers used were derived from potatoes. They varied in their charges and degrees of hydroxypropylation. The setting and the flow behaviour of all examined variations of starch ethers were analysed in cement pastes. In order to illustrate the effects of the starch ethers that were used, the water-cement ratio (w/c) was held constant in all the mixtures [Schmidt 2012]. The results indicated significant differences in setting and flow behaviour.

description: In this paper, we describe a potential route to improve the value of the sugar beet pulp in the manufacture of ecological lignocellulosic insulation concrete panels. These panels could on the one hand, reduce the energy consumption of buildings and therefore the associated CO2 emissions, and on the other hand, could ensure a good thermal, hygrothermal and acoustic insulation of buildings. This study aims to describe the making and characterization of a 100% vegetable agro-material based on the sugar beet pulp and potato starch. Chemical analysis of the beet pulp was carried out using the sequential extraction method with different solvents (cyclohexane, ethane, water, soda, HCl ...), to determine the pulp components, its behavior, and its chemical and physical characteristics. Mixtures of the sugar beet pulp, potato starch and saturated lime water were prepared for different starch / pulp mass ratios, then the drying method was optimized since pulps can withhold large quantities of water and lead to important deformations of the panels. For this reason several drying methods were investigated: freeze drying, drying under vacuum, ventilated or static oven at 40 °C, or drying in a controlled humidity chamber.

description: Over a range roughly C5–C6, sopranos usually tune their first vocal tract resonance (R1) to the fundamental frequency (fo) of the note sung: R1:fo tuning. Those who sing well above C6 usually adjust their second vocal tract resonance (R2) and use R2:fo tuning. This study investigated these questions: Can singers quickly learn R2:fo tuning when given suitable feedback? Can they subsequently use this tuning without feedback? And finally, if so, does this assist their singing in the high range? New computer software for the technique of resonance estimation by broadband excitation at the lips was used to provide real-time visual feedback on fo and vocal tract resonances. Eight sopranos participated. In a one-hour session, they practised adjusting R2 whilst miming (i.e. without phonating), and then during singing. Six sopranos learned to tune R2 over a range of several semi-tones, when feedback was present. This achievement did not immediately extend their singing range. When the feedback was removed, two sopranos spontaneously used R2:fo tuning at the top of their range above C6. With only one hour of training, singers can learn to adjust their vocal tract shape for R2:fo tuning when provided with visual feedback. One additional participant who spent considerable time with the software, acquired greater skill at R2:fo tuning and was able to extend her singing range. A simple version of the hardware used can be assembled using basic equipment and the software is available online.

description: Nowadays, there are plenty of data sources generating massive amounts of information that, combined with novel data analytics frameworks, are meant to support optimisation in many application domains. Nonetheless, there are still shortcomings in terms of data discoverability, accessibility and interoperability. Open Data portals have emerged as a shift towards openness and discoverability. However, they do not impose any condition to the data itself, just stipulate how datasets have to be described. Alternatively, the NGSI-LD standard pursues harmonisation in terms of data modelling and accessibility. This paper presents a solution that bridges these two domains (i.e., Open Data portals and NGSI-LD-based data) in order to keep benefiting from the structured description of datasets offered by Open Data portals, while ensuring the interoperability provided by the NGSI-LD standard. Our solution aggregates the data into coherent datasets and generate high-quality descriptions, ensuring comprehensiveness, interoperability and accessibility. The proposed solution has been validated through a real-world implementation that exposes IoT data in NGSI-LD format through the European Data Portal (EDP). Moreover, the results from the Metadata Quality Assessment that the EDP implements, show that the datasets' descriptions generated achieve excellent ranking in terms of the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability and Reusability (FAIR) data principles.

New particleboards based on agricultural byproducts: physicochemical properties with different binders

description: Because the timber market is more and more competitive, the particleboard manufacturers are looked for new sources of vegetal raw material supply. In the same time, the use of healthier, safer and more environmentally friendly materials become a priority in the building sector. In this context, some agricultural byproducts as annual plant stems can be an interesting alternative. In fact these resources are abundant, renewable and safe raw material. Moreover their porous structure gives them interesting properties for building materials such as lightness and thermal insulation capacity. In order to diversify raw material supply sources of a particleboard manufacturer, two agricultural byproducts have been studied: flax shives and sunflower bark. The particleboards are made at a laboratory scale by thermocompression of vegetal raw particles at a target density of 500 kg.m-3. Two particle sizes have been compared in the panels for each agroresource: 0.5-2 mm and 2-5mm. The vegetal particles are bonded by different methods: - without addition of any binder. In that case water is sprayed on the vegetal particles before the forming process at 80% w/w. The lignocellulosic compounds contained in the agroresources can act as binders. - with a biosourced binder based on casein, incorporated at different rates with the vegetal particles. The observed mechanical behavior (by bending test and internal bond) for the particleboards can be very different in function of the agroresource, the particle size and the binder used. The different materials are also compared by their thermal properties and their behavior with water. By using a biobased binder the mechanical properties of the particleboards are very better. For all studied properties, panels made with flax shives present better properties than these made with sunflower bark so flax shives seem more suitable for particleboard manufacturing. Butwith optimization of the formulation and the process, both studied agroresources could be used in particleboards for applications as furniture or door panel and efficient 100% biobased panels can be obtained.

description: The ISOBIO project proposes an innovative strategy to bring bio-based construction materials into the mainstream. A key innovation consists of the use of bio-based aggregates from a local culture, with green binders for the production of ecofriendly composites. This work aims to combine existing technologies in order to develop bio-based panels with high insulating properties, low embodied energy, low embodied carbon and hydrothermally efficient. This study aims to value the agro-resources by-products from flax, hemp, corn, rape and wheat, provided by one of the project partner, for find out new alternative materials that respond to sustainable development criteria. In the present work, the chemical characterization of agro-resources’s byproduct are studied by Van soest method and Phenol sulfuric method to determine the content of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and polysaccharides. Measurement of thermal conductivity and Moisture Buffer Value are also achieved in these raw materials to determine their hygrothermal properties at bulk density. Thermal Conductivity and MBV evolve according to the density whatever the agro- resources type. All these materials have different properties but they are all excellent hygric regulators. These results suggest that agro-resources’s by-product may be used as a raw building material but not for the same types of use. In fact, some raw materials would be more suitable for thermal insulating products and others would be better suited to indoor facing panels.

description: Nonionic ethylene oxide (EO)‐based surfactants are widely employed in commercial applications and normally form gel‐like liquid crystalline phases at higher concentrations, rendering their handling under such conditions difficult. By incorporating CO2 units in their hydrophilic head groups, the consumption of the petrochemical EO was reduced, and the tendency to form liquid crystals was suppressed completely. This surprising behavior was characterized by rheology and studied with respect to its structural origin by means of small‐angle neutron scattering (SANS). These experiments showed a strongly reduced repulsive interaction between the micellar aggregates, attributed to a reduced hydration and enhanced interpenetration of the head groups owing to the presence of the CO2 units. In addition, with increasing CO2 content the surfactants became more efficient and effective with respect to their surface activity. These findings are important because the renewable resource CO2 is used, and the CO2‐containing surfactants allow handling at very high concentrations, an aspect of enormous practical importance.

description: Nowadays, data is becoming the new fuel for economic wealth and creation of novel and profitable business models. Multitude of technologies are contributing to an abundance of information sources which are already the baseline for multi-millionaire services and applications. Internet of Things (IoT), is probably the most representative one. However, for an economy of data to actually flourish there are still several critical challenges that have to be overcome. Among them, data quality can become an issue when data come from heterogeneous sources or have different formats, standards and scale. Improving data quality is of utmost importance for any domain since data are the basis for any decision-making system and decisions will not be accurate if they are based on inadequate low-quality data. In this paper we are presenting a solution for assessing several quality dimensions of IoT data streams as they are generated. Additionally, the solution described in the paper actually improves the quality of data streams by curating them through the application of Artificial Intelligence techniques. The approach followed in our work has been to append data quality information as metadata linked to each individual piece of curated data. We have leveraged linked-data principles and integrated the developed AI-based IoT data curation mechanisms within a Data Enrichment Toolchain (DET) that employs the NGSI-LD standard to harmonize and enrich heterogeneous data sources. Furthermore, we have evaluated our design under experimental research conditions, achieving a robust compromise between functionality and overhead. Besides, it demonstrates a stable and scalable performance.

description: Low-lying electric and magnetic dipole excitations (E1 and M1) below the neutron separation threshold, particularly the Pygmy Dipole Resonance (PDR), have drawn considerable attention in the last years. So far, mostly moderately heavy nuclei in the mass regions around A = 90 and A = 140 were examined with respect to the PDR. In the present work, the systematics of the PDR have been extended by measuring excitation strengths and parity quantum numbers of J = 1 states in lighter nuclei near A = 50 in order to gather information on the onset of the PDR. The nuclei ⁵⁰,⁵²,⁵⁴Cr and ⁴⁸,⁵⁰Ti were examined via bremsstrahlung produced at the DArmstadt Superconducting electron Linear Accelerator (S-DALINAC) with photon energies up to 9.7 MeV with the method of nuclear resonance fluorescence. Numerous excited states were observed, many of which for the first time. The parity quantum numbers of these states have been determined at the High Intensity Gamma-ray Source (HIγS) of the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory in Durham, NC, USA. Informations to the methods and the experimental setups will be provided and the results on ⁵⁴Cr achieved will be discussed with respect to the onset of the PDR.

description: We examine fluctuations of vorticity excited by an external random force in two-dimensional fluid in the presence of a strong external shear flow. The problem is motivated by the analysis of big coherent vortices appearing as a consequence of the inverse energy cascade in a finite box at large Reynolds numbers. We develop the perturbation theory for calculating nonlinear corrections to correlation functions of the flow fluctuations assuming that the external force is short correlated in time. We analyze corrections to the pair correlation function of vorticity and some moments. The analysis enables one to establish validity of the perturbation theory for laboratory experiments and numerical simulations.

description: Animals rely on a balance of personal and social information to decide when and where to move next in order to access a desired resource. The benefits from cueing on conspecifics to reduce uncertainty about resource availability can be rapidly overcome by the risks of within-group competition, often exacerbated toward low-ranked individuals. Being obligate soarers, relying on thermal updraughts to search for carcasses around which competition can be fierce, vultures represent ideal models to investigate the balance between personal and social information during foraging movements. Linking dominance hierarchy, social affinities and meteorological conditions to movement decisions of eight captive vultures, Gyps spp., released for free flights in natural soaring conditions, we found that they relied on social information (i.e. other vultures using/having used the thermals) to find the next thermal updraught, especially in unfavourable flight conditions. Low-ranked individuals were more likely to disregard social cues when deciding where to go next, possibly to minimize the competitive risk of social aggregation. These results exemplify the architecture of decision-making during flight in social birds. It suggests that the environmental context, the context of risk and the social system as a whole calibrate the balance between personal and social information use.

description: Animals rely on a balance of personal and social information to decide when and where to move next in order to access a desired resource. The benefits from cueing on conspecifics to reduce uncertainty about resource availability can be rapidly overcome by the risks of within-group competition, often exacerbated toward low-ranked individuals. Being obligate soarers, relying on thermal updrafts to search for carcasses around which competition can be fierce, vultures represent ideal models to investigate the balance between personal and social information during foraging movements. Linking dominance hierarchy, social affinities and meteorological conditions to movement decisions of eight captive vultures, Gyps spp. released for free flights in natural soaring conditions, we found that they relied on social information (i.e. other vultures using/having used the thermals) to find the next thermal updraft, especially in unfavourable flight conditions. Low-ranked individuals were more likely to disregard social cues when deciding where to go next, possibly to minimize the competitive risk of social aggregation.

description: All people, wherever they live, interpret the environment in which they find themselves. This thesis explores the way in which the Yanyuwa people of Borroloola in the South West Gulf of Carpentaria in the Northern Territory of Australia respond to the environment in which they live. For the Yanyuwa their environment also includes the sea, which is for them country and a powerful source of their group identity. The Yanyuwa interpretation of their environment is not based purely upon the pragmatic use of that land and sea. History, spirituality, ritual, emotion, living and deceased people as well as other spiritual inhabitants are all part of the basis on which individual and group negotiation with the environment takes place. The study of these responses to the environment is called -using the jargon of the western world - ethnoecology and ethnobiology. This thesis examines the western responses to these disciplines in regard to studies undertaken in other parts of the world. The number of Australian case studies is surprisingly small. There are two schools of thought which seek to view the way indigenous people relate to their environment. One response is to rely heavily on the cognitive and analytical skills of the people in regard to the way the environment is classified. The other response is to say that time and some of the factors enumerated above, such as history, spirituality and negotiation, are important keys in understanding the way people interpret and classify their environment. The thesis argues that it is this second response which allows for a clearer understanding of the total indigenous response to the environment. By seeking to undertake a more holistic study a valuable convergence of anthropology, ethnobiology and ethnoecology can in some part be achieved. Following on from this, the thesis then examines in detail the Yanyuwa relationship with the maritime environment, with particular attention being placed upon the dugong and sea turtle, upon Yanyuwa involvement as predators upon these two species, and upon the historical factors which have influenced this relationship.

description: A magnesium silicate hydrate (M-S-H) binder system was studied to develop low CO2 emission cementitious materials. The binder system contained 60% magnesium oxide and 40% silica fume. M-S-H mortar mixtures were prepared with a fixed water content of w/c=0.40, compared to a control mix using Portland cement (PC). A polymer-based superplasticizer was used to improve the workability of the M-S-H mixtures. Samples were cured at different moist and curing temperatures for compressive strength tests performed at 7, 28 and 90 days. It is found that curing conditions have a significant influence on the strength development of mortar mixtures using M-S-H binder systems. Ambient conditions increase early strength for M-S-H binders, however, reduces long-term strength over 90 days. This curing regime surprisingly results in higher strengths at 28 and 90 days age for M-S-H samples compared to PC. Heated treatment increases early strength, however, decreases the long-term strength of M-S-H samples over 90 days curing period. M-S-H binders have slow strength development compared to PC. The highest compressive strengths of M-S-H samples cured in different regimes at 7, 28, 90 days were 50, 53 and 71 MPa while PC samples cured in water at 21oC at these ages had higher strengths of 55, 75, and 86 MPa, respectively.

Coronavirus and the Heterogenesis of Ends: Underpinning the Ecological and Health Catastrophe is a Political Crisis
Creators: name: Bergandi, Donato

description: The coronavirus catastrophe that we are experiencing is first of all the result of an ecological catastrophe, but its underlying fundamental cause is the political crisis that our democracies are living. The sustainable development model is a smokescreen that will lead not to making deep-going changes to the economic paradigm but to continuing with business as usual. The betrayal of the elites, both political and economic, supported by a system that is no longer democratic, has exposed the population to this type of sanitary problem. A deep transformation of our political system is urgently needed. The people must take part in a true democracy, a direct democracy, that initiates a new democratic revolution capable of countering the sinister interests of the elites, of the caste in power.

description: Graph neural network (GNN) based recommender systems have become one of the mainstream trends due to the powerful learning ability from user behavior data. Understanding the user intents from behavior data is the key to recommender systems, which poses two basic requirements for GNN-based recommender systems. One is how to learn complex and diverse intents especially when the user behavior is usually inadequate in reality. The other is different behaviors have different intent distributions, so how to establish their relations for a more explainable recommender system. In this paper, we present the Intent-aware Recommendation via Disentangled Graph Contrastive Learning (IDCL), which simultaneously learns interpretable intents and behavior distributions over those intents. Specifically, we first model the user behavior data as a user-item-concept graph, and design a GNN based behavior disentangling module to learn the different intents. Then we propose the intent-wise contrastive learning to enhance the intent disentangling and meanwhile infer the behavior distributions. Finally, the coding rate reduction regularization is introduced to make the behaviors of different intents orthogonal. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of IDCL in terms of substantial improvement and the interpretability.

description: Factors affecting the durability of concrete structures are generally associated with each other. Due to its brittle nature, concrete can crack under stress and these cracks are one of the main reasons for a decrease in service life in concrete structures. Recently, interest in using biomineralization processes for self-healing applications in cement-based materials has gained broader attention in the field. Biomineralization is a biochemical process in which microorganisms stimulate the formation of minerals, and in this particular case calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Due to the restricted environment of cement paste matrix, the main challenge is to find a microorganism that can tolerate the high alkaline conditions, can survive the mixing process, and can remain viable with limited access to nutrients and space to remediate cracks. This paper summarizes the results of a study undertaken to investigate the possible application of a bio-based admixture consisting Sporosarcina pasteurii (S.pasteurii) cells and urea-corn steep liquor (UCSL) medium to remediate flexural cracks in cement-based mortar. To develop biogenic self-healing agent, vegetative S. pasteurii cells were grown in UCSL medium and then mixed with cement and sand. Incorporation of cells, as well as the nutrient medium,,,did not affect the compressive negatively. Biogenic CaCO3 crystals were observed inside the flexural cracks and precipitates were able to seal cracks as large as 0.2 mm and decrease the permeability of the material.
