description: Motivated by logarithmic conformal field theory and Gromov-Witten theory, we introduce a notion of a twisted module of a vertex algebra under an arbitrary (not necessarily semisimple) automorphism. Its main feature is that the twisted fields involve the logarithm of the formal variable. We develop the theory of such twisted modules and, in particular, derive a Borcherds identity and commutator formula for them. We investigate in detail the examples of affine and Heisenberg vertex algebras.

Με τη χρήση των λέξεων, των εικόνων, των ήχων που εμπεριέχονται στα βιβλία, τις εφημερίδες, τον κινηματογράφο, την τηλεόραση ή τις διαδικτυακές εφαρμογές, το marketing πετυχαίνει την προβολή δυνητικών προτύπων ζωής σε πλήθος ατόμων. Με τη χρήση της εικονογραφημένης διαφήμισης τα πρότυπα αυτά μοιάζουν όλο και περισσότερο με αληθοφανή ψευδαίσθηση. Αντικείμενο της εργασίας αποτελούν διαφορετικές εκδοχές του όρου «εικόνα», μελετώντας με ποιον τρόπο κάθε φορά η ευρεία χρήση των εικόνων αποτελεί καθημερινή επιρροή στην ανθρώπινη δράση και στην αρχιτεκτονική.

Ταυτόχρονα, ερευνάται κατά πόσο ο σχεδιασμός των κτιρίων καθοδηγείται από την όψη ή και από την κάτοψη, καθώς πολλές φορές η διαφημιστική εικόνα που αντιπροσωπεύει το χωρικό βίωμα μεμονωμένων κτιρίων ή κατ’ επέκταση ολόκληρων πόλεων  αποτελεί αυτοσκοπό. Στρατηγικές αστικής αναζωογόνησης αλλά και επιμέρους, ο σχεδιασμός των κτιρίων, καθοδηγούνται από τους όρους του marketing, σχεδιάζοντας χώρους που ανταποκρίνονται μόνο σε συγκεκριμένα φωτογραφικά κάδρα. Οι εικόνες που θα χρησιμοποιηθούν από τη διαφήμιση είναι ένας μηχανισμός αφήγησης που μπορεί να μετασχηματίσει την αντίληψη του χώρου.

description: The physiological changes of intact mume (Prunus mume Sieb. et Zucc. cv. Rinshu) fruit tissues were examined by measuring the physical states of cell-associated water in the fruit tissues with developing and ripening using 1H-NMR spectroscopy. We found that the water molecules in mume fruit tissues existed in several different compartments with different mobilities. Additionally, spectral recovery in the water proton indicated reverse relationships between the pericarps and seeds at the immature and mature stages. In the pericarp tissues, the longest T1 and longer T2 markedly increased, while those in the seeds decreased. From these results, the change in the water status with growth stage had reverse trajectories in the pericarp and seed of the fruit. In the pericarp tissues, both water uptake and dry weight prominently increased with ripening. The epidermis and inner parenchymal cells of the pericarp tissues remarkably enlarged as a sigmoidal growth curve. Membrane permeability, indicating a loss of membrane integrity, increased in the pericarp tissues. The elongation in the fully vacuolated cells and changes in the membrane permeability in the pericarp tissues with ripening correlated to the longest T1. In contrast, the high mobility of water in the seeds began to decrease with maturation, while oil began to accumulate. Thus, the mobility of water, as analyzed in this study, is considered to reflect the results of physiological changes such as cellular heterogeneity and spatial arrangements both in the pericarp and in seed tissues for mume fruit with development and ripening.

description: Pollen incompatibility is a major problem among hazelnut cultivars and can result in considerable crop loss in hazelnut orchards. Thus, identifying the level of self-compatibility of a cultivar and compatibility between cultivars are crucial aspects to selecting the proper pollenizers. Controlled self- and cross-pollinations were carried out in three local and four imported hazelnut cultivars. Based on cluster set, partial self-compatibility was found in cultivars Pashmine and Shastak, and complete self-compatibility in ‘Tabestane’. The best pollenizers for the cultivars Pashmine, Tabestane, Shastak, Barcelona, Segorbe, Daviana and Merveille were Segorbe, Barcelona, Segorbe, Shastak, Shastak, Pashmine and, Pashmine, respectively.

LA MORPHOGENÈSE DE BIPARTITION ET LES STRUCTURES NEUROMOTRICES DANS LE GENRE ASPIDISCA (CILIÉS HYPOTRICHES). REVUE DE QUELQUES ESPÈCES.

description: After the morphological study of the genus Aspidisca, made in relation to that of a complex internal fibrillar-system impregnated with Protargol, the analysis of the morphogenesis of fission showed the importance of the area neighbouring the two former transversal cirri in the neo-formation of the principal, somatic or buccal, ciliary area.
The short isolated series of the anterior membranelles, proper to the genus, seems to be an individualized formation from the buccal area, but it has no part in the process of ciliary reorganization, no more than the neuromotor apparatus.
At last, new precisions are given in the description of five species of Aspidisca, particularly about the argentophilic structures.

description: Antibiotic exposure can lead to unintended outcomes, including drug-drug interactions, adverse drug events, and healthcare-associated infections like Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). Improving antibiotic use is critical to reduce an individual's CDI risk. Antibiotic stewardship initiatives can reduce inappropriate antibiotic prescribing (e.g., unnecessary antibiotic prescribing, inappropriate antibiotic selection), impacting both hospital (healthcare)-onset (HO)-CDI and community-associated (CA)-CDI. Previous computational and mathematical modeling studies have demonstrated a reduction in CDI incidence associated with antibiotic stewardship initiatives in hospital settings. Although the impact of antibiotic stewardship initiatives in long-term care facilities (LTCFs), including nursing homes, and in outpatient settings have been documented, the effects of specific interventions on CDI incidence are not well understood. We examined the relative effectiveness of antibiotic stewardship interventions on CDI incidence using a geospatially explicit agent-based model of a regional healthcare network in North Carolina. We simulated reductions in unnecessary antibiotic prescribing and inappropriate antibiotic selection with intervention scenarios at individual and network healthcare facilities, including short-term acute care hospitals (STACHs), nursing homes, and outpatient locations. Modeled antibiotic prescription rates were calculated using patient-level data on antibiotic length of therapy for the 10 modeled network STACHs. By simulating a 30% reduction in antibiotics prescribed across all inpatient and outpatient locations, we found the greatest reductions on network CDI incidence among tested scenarios, namely a 17% decrease in HO-CDI incidence and 7% decrease in CA-CDI. Among intervention scenarios of reducing inappropriate antibiotic selection, we found a greater impact on network CDI incidence when modeling this reduction in nursing homes alone compared to the same intervention in STACHs alone. These results support the potential importance of LTCF and outpatient antibiotic stewardship efforts on network CDI burden and add to the evidence that a coordinated approach to antibiotic stewardship across multiple facilities, including inpatient and outpatient settings, within a regional healthcare network could be an effective strategy to reduce network CDI burden.

description: The degree-diameter problem seeks to find the maximum possible order of a graph with a given (maximum) degree and diameter. It is known that graphs attaining the maximum possible value (the Moore bound) are extremely rare, but much activity is focused on finding new examples of graphs or families of graph with orders approaching the bound as closely as possible. There has been recent interest in this problem as it applies to mixed graphs, in which we allow some of the edges to be undirected and some directed. A 2008 paper of Nguyen and Miller derived an upper bound on the possible number of vertices of such graphs. We show that for diameters larger than three, this bound can be reduced and we present a corrected Moore bound for mixed graphs, valid for all diameters and for all combinations of undirected and directed degrees.

description: ‘Catanese’ artichoke quarters were packaged in active modified atmosphere (5% O2+10% CO2) in four different materials or in air in macro-perforated bags used as control (CTRL), and stored at 4°C. Materials used for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) were: polylactic acid (PLA), polylactid acid with one line of micro-perforation (PLA MF1), polypropilene with two lines of micro-perforations (PP MF2), and polypropylene + polyamide with two lines of microperforations (PP+PA MF2). Initially and after 2, 4, and 9 days, overall artichoke appearance, color and weight loss were monitored. O2 and CO2 concentrations within the packages were detected initially and after 1, 2, 17, 24.5, 41.5, 49.5, 120 and 216 h (end of the experiment). Also, at the last sampling date ethanol and acetaldehyde accumulations in artichoke tissue were measured. All the micro-perforated films maintained gas levels within the range of O2>3% and CO2<15%, defined as “safe”, with a positive effect on quality: all samples remained above the limit of marketability until the end of the experiment, without significant differences among them, but showed a slight better overall appearance and, accordingly, a better retention of color parameters when compared with CTRL samples. Complete anaerobic condition (16% CO2 and 0% O2) developed in PLA bags where blackening of cut bracts and receptacle was observed, while black spots appeared on outer bracts, causing drastic quality reduction; samples fell below the limit of marketability after just 2 days. Also a significant accumulation of ethanol and acetaldehyde was found in these samples. Optimizing MAP made it possible to maintain the desired gas condition, with positive effects on quality of the produce in absence of any stabilizing treatment, for 9 days.

description: We present a complete census of all Herschel-detected sources within the six massive lensing clusters of the HST Frontier Fields (HFF). We provide a robust legacy catalogue of 263 sources with Herschel fluxes, primarily based on imaging from the Herschel Lensing Survey (HLS) and PEP/HerMES Key Programmes. We optimally combine Herschel, Spitzer and WISE infrared (IR) photometry with data from HST, VLA and ground-based observatories, identifying counterparts to gain source redshifts. For each Herschel-detected source we also present magnification factor (mu), intrinsic IR luminosity and characteristic dust temperature, providing a comprehensive view of dust-obscured star formation within the HFF. We demonstrate the utility of our catalogues through an exploratory overview of the magnified population, including more than 20 background sub-LIRGs unreachable by Herschel without the assistance gravitational lensing.

description: The content of 24 level bottom samples from the Skagerak is analysed. A total number of 129 species of Harpacticoida resulted, out of which 9 species are new to science (Canuellopsis swedmarki, Typhlamphiascus gracilis, Haloschizoperaconspicua, H.minima,Proameirasignata, Hemimesochranixe, H.nympha, Mesocletodes glaber and Paranannopushahusiense). A fairly large number of species—mainly from the shell and sandy bottoms—are reported for the first time from the Scandinavian waters. The special section contains the description of the new species, a revision of the genera Haloschizopera Lang and Hemimesochra Sars and morphological data on the males of some species in which they have not yet been reported.
The Harpacticoida associations of the muddy bottoms down to 475 m are characterized, as well as the associations of the shell, muddy-sand and sand. Considerable differences are found between the associations of the open sea and the closed fjords.

description: In order to study the water status of cut flowers, a comparison study was made between flowers stored in water and flowers stored «dry pack», by using a portable NIR (near infrared)-AOTF(acousto-optical tunable filter) instrument and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). As model flower, Zantedeschia aethiopica (commercially known as Calla lily) was used. To predict the weight loss and water content by NIR-AOTF, cut flowers were dried in a cold room at 10°C (±1°C) and 85% (±5%) relative humidity (RH), and measured for weight loss. For MRI application, 4 and 20°C storage temperatures were used for flowers kept in water or dry; two stem sections, basal and middle, were measured. Significant correlation results for weight loss and water content ( R2 in calibration = 0.98 for estimated % of water loss and 0.96 for % of water content; R2 cv = 0.95 and 0.90) were obtained by NIR-AOTF spectra acquisitions. MRI detected vessel degradation in the stem of the water-stored flowers at 4°C but at 20°C in dry storage no vessel degradation appeared and images were correlated with dry matter values. The use of image software allowed the transformation of images in normalized population and pixel intensity, which gave hints about the potential use of these data to combine with NIR-AOTF data. NIR-AOTF, an easy-to-use and non destructive instrument, can be used to predict the vase life of cut flowers by measuring water content or weight loss. MRI is a powerful tool to identify the plugging of vessels but it is destructive; the image software used represents a useful tool to correlate MRI with NIR-AOTF to predict vessel plugging.

Effectiveness of a hydrogen peroxide mist (Trophon) system in inactivating healthcare pathogens on surface and endocavitary probes

description: Ultrasound probes are used in sonographic scanning and are commonly used as either surface probes or endocavitary probes. Surface probes are used on intact skin, such as the abdomen
description: they are considered noncritical and require at least low-level disinfection between patients. Endocavitary probes (eg, transvaginal, transrectal, or transesophageal probes) are considered semicritical because they have direct contact with mucous membranes (eg, vagina, rectum, or pharynx) or nonintact skin. While one could argue that the use of the probe cover changes the category for the endocavitary probe, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guideline for disinfection and sterilization recommends that a new condom/probe cover should be used for each patient, and because condoms/probe covers and low-level disinfection may fail, high-level disinfection of the probe should be performed. The relevance of this recommendation is reinforced by the finding that sterile ultrasound probe covers and condoms can have a perforation rate from 0% to 81% before and after use. These studies underscore the need for high-level disinfection of endocavitary probes between examinations.

description: Common root rot (CRR) of wheat, caused by Cochliobolus sativus, produces discoloration of the subcrown internodes (SCIs) and is directly related to yield losses. It is critical to clearly define and standardize the CRR assessment methods to avoid subjectivity and variability between assessors. Therefore, in this study, a comparison between the incidence (I; proportion of diseased SCIs) and the severity (S; proportion of SCI showing CRR symptoms) was investigated to explore the possibility of simplifying disease rating. Assessments were made visually at multiple sample sites in artificially- and naturally-inoculated research and production fields for three growing seasons. Significant differences (P = 0.001) in mean I and S values were found among cultivars, with values being consistently higher in the susceptible ones. However, CRR severity increased linearly as incidence increased in both Triticum durum and T. aestivum wheat. Their slopes and intercepts of the I–S relationship were consistent over the three growing seasons. This result may be considered a significant contribution for CRR assessment in wheat breeding programs.

description: We present statistical methods for big data arising from online analytical processing, where large amounts of data arrive in streams and require fast analysis without storage/access to the historical data. In particular, we develop iterative estimating algorithms and statistical inferences for linear models and estimating equations that update as new data arrive. These algorithms are computationally efficient, minimally storage-intensive, and allow for possible rank deficiencies in the subset design matrices due to rare-event covariates. Within the linear model setting, the proposed online-updating framework leads to predictive residual tests that can be used to assess the goodness-of-fit of the hypothesized model. We also propose a new online-updating estimator under the estimating equation setting. Theoretical properties of the goodness-of-fit tests and proposed estimators are examined in detail. In simulation studies and real data applications, our estimator compares favorably with competing approaches under the estimating equation setting.

description: The Pecot Lab has discovered sequences for antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) that can target the four most common mutations of KRAS (G12C, G12D, G12V, and G13D). We may utilize this sequence to synthesize an ASO that can effectively target mutated KRAS while sparing wild-type KRAS in healthy tissue to reduce potential toxic side-effects. Our project investigated the efficacy of EFTX-016 ASO to inhibit KRAS expression by investigating the cellular uptake and knockdown capability of our ASO sequences.

description: Traditionally, in Italy, the C3 cool-season grasses have been the dominant species used for turfs, even though they do not appear to be the most suitable for the Mediterranean climate. However, recent limited water availability and the need to reduce energy inputs have placed drought tolerant warm-season turfgrasses under the spotlight. These species combine aesthetics with performance advantages in terms of water consumption, and with regard to the reduction of fertilizer and pesticides use. The present research was aimed to test the performance of warm-season turfgrass species (three cultivars of Cynodon dactylon, two cultivars of Paspalum vaginatum and two of Zoysia japonica) in a climatic transition zone in Tuscany, to evaluate their potential for use in this environment. The assessment of several parameters, which were estimated periodically, permitted performance evaluation of each species/cultivar, thereby enhancing the existing knowledge of these species and their potentiality in this environment. Results showed that the species with the best adaptation to the environment was Cynodon dactylon, which had higher performances compared to the other species. Paspalum vaginatum reported good quality in terms of color and density, but was damaged by low temperatures during winter. Zoysia japonica displayed a poor performance during the first year, but quality increased during the second year, yielding satisfactory results.

description: The ground and low-lying collective states of a rotating system of $N=3$ bosons harmonically confined in quasi-two-dimension and interacting via repulsive finite-range Gaussian potential is studied in weakly to moderately interacting regime. The $N$-body Hamiltonian matrix is diagonalized in subspaces of quantized total angular momenta $0\le L \le 4N$ to obtain the ground and low-lying eigenstates. Our numerical results show that breathing modes with $N$-body eigenenergy spacing of $2\hbarω_{\perp}$, known to exist in strictly 2D system with zero-range ($δ$-function) interaction potential, may as well exist in quasi-2D system with finite-range Gaussian interaction potential. To gain an insight into the many-body states, the von Neumann entropy is calculated as a measure of quantum correlation and the conditional probability distribution is analyzed for the internal structure of the eigenstates. In the rapidly rotating regime the ground state in angular momentum subspaces $L=\frac{q}{2}N\left(N-1\right)$ with $q=2, 4$ is found to exhibit the anticorrelation structure suggesting that it may variationally be described by a Bose-Laughlin like state. We further observe that the first breathing mode exhibits features similar to the Bose-Laughlin state in having eigenenergy, von Neumann entropy and internal structure independent of interaction for the three-boson system considered here. On the contrary, for eigenstates lying between the Bose-Laughlin like ground state and the first breathing mode, values of eigenenergy, von Neumann entropy and internal structure are found to vary with interaction.

description: The discovery of the charge-density-wave formation in the high-$T_c$ cuprate superconductors has activated intensive theoretical studies for the pseudogap states. However, the microscopic origin of the charge-density-wave state has been unknown so far since the many-body effects beyond the mean-field-level approximations, called the vertex corrections, are essential. Toward solving this problem, we employ the recently developed functional renormalization-group method, by which we can calculate the higher-order vertex corrections in a systematic and unbiased way with high numerical accuracy. We discover the critical development of the $p$-orbital-density-wave ($p$-ODW) instability in the strong-spin-fluctuation region. The obtained $p$-ODW state possesses the key characteristics of the charge ordering pattern in Bi- and Y-based superconductors, such as the wave vector parallel to the nearest Cu-Cu direction, and the $d$-symmetry form factor with the antiphase correlation between $p_x$ and $p_y$ orbitals in the same unit cell. In addition, from the observation of the beautiful scaling relation between the spin susceptibility and the $p$-ODW susceptibility, we conclude that the main driving force of the density wave is the Aslamazov-Larkin vertex correction that becomes very singular near the magnetic quantum-critical point.

description: Σκοπός της εργασίας αυτής είναι η ανάπτυξη ενός αλγορίθμου για την ανίχνευση
σφαλμάτων στη λειτουργία φωτοβολταϊκών συστημάτων. Είναι προφανές, ότι όπως όλα τα συστήματα, έτσι και τα φωτοβολταϊκά εμφανίζουν συγκεκριμένες προϋποθέσεις ορθής λειτουργίας.
Όταν αυτές δεν ικανοποιούνται, μπορούμε να ισχυριστούμε με βεβαιότητα ότι η ομαλή λειτουργία του συστήματος έχει διαταραχτεί. Για τους σκοπούς της μελέτης αυτής, προσομοιώθηκε σε περιβάλλον Matlab/Simulink ένα φωτοβολταϊκό σύστημα το οποίο περιλαμβάνει φωτοβολταϊκά πλαίσια συνδεδεμένα σε σειρά και παράλληλα. Προκειμένου να διαπιστωθεί αν το φωτοβολταϊκό σύστημα λειτουργεί ομαλά, το λογισμικό που αναπτύχθηκε βασίζεται κυρίως σε τεχνικές μηχανικής
μάθησης. Συγκεκριμένα, χρησιμοποιεί αποθηκευμένα δεδομένα που αντιστοιχούν σε ομαλές και μη καταστάσεις λειτουργίας, τα οποία συγκρίνει με την τρέχουσα κατάσταση του συστήματος, και ανάλογα αποφασίζει αν υπάρχει κάποιο σφάλμα στη λειτουργία, ή όχι. Το λογισμικό αυτό χαρακτηρίζεται από ευελιξία, καθώς με μικρές προσαρμογές είναι δυνατόν να λειτουργήσει για αρκετές συνδεσμολογίες φωτοβολταϊκών πλαισίων. Όσον αφορά την αποδοτικότητα του αλγορίθμου, αυτή είναι αρκετά υψηλή, καθώς ο αλγόριθμος είναι ικανός να αποφασίσει σωστά την
κατάσταση του φωτοβολταϊκού συστήματος στην πλειοψηφία των περιπτώσεων.
description: The purpose of this project is the development of an algorithm, which is able to detect faults in the operation of Photovoltaic Systems. It is obvious that, like in every system, photovoltaic systems have specific conditions in order to function properly. When those conditions are not satisfied, we can claim with certainty that the normal function of the system has been affected. For the purposes of this research, a photovoltaic system consisting of photovoltaic panels connected in
series and parallel, was simulated in the Matlab/Simulink environment. In order to decide if the system operates properly, the software that was developed relies mainly on machine learning techniques. More specifically, it uses stored data, which correspond to normal or not states of function, it compares them with the current state of the system, and decides accordingly if there is an error in the operation of the Photovoltaic system or not. The software can be described as
flexible, because with small adjustments it is able to operate for several different connections of photovoltaic panels. When it comes to the performance of the algorithm, it can be described as very effective, since the software which was developed is in most cases able to detect the state of the Photovoltaic system correctly.

While antiretroviral therapy (ART) has dramatically reduced human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) mortality, ART cannot eliminate viral reservoirs in the brain and thus HIV-1 associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND) persists in 30-50% of patients. HIV-1 proteins, such as transactivator of transcription (Tat), have been shown to contribute to synaptodendritic injuries and inflammation correlated with HAND. One potential therapeutic target is the endogenous cannabinoid system. 

Activation of cannabinoid receptors (CBR), which include CB1R, CB2R, and GPR18, have been shown to induce anti-inflammatory effects in various neurodegenerative disease models. CB2R and GPR18 are expressed on microglia, which are significant HIV reservoirs and have been implicated in HAND neuropathogenesis. These receptors are activated by a relatively novel monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) inhibitor through upregulation of the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG). Despite potential clinical viability, the relationship between microglia, HAND, and CB2R and/or GPR18 signaling is not well understood.

To elucidate the microglia-mediated indirect effects of the Tat on neuronal function, the present study uses primary microglia and prefrontal cortex neuron culture models derived from postnatal day 1 and embryonic day 15–16 CD57/BL6 mice, respectively. Microglia cultures at DIV15 are treated with Tat, ABX1431, CB2R and GPR18 antagonists. Intracellular calcium levels, dendritic morphology, and neuronal injury are measured upon exposure to secretions of treated microglia, and microglial cytokine release is quantified. We hypothesize that Tat-exposed microglia will demonstrate increased production of various proinflammatory cytokines and induce dysregulation in neuronal health, with Abx1431 treatment attenuating these effects, possibly in a CB2R- or GPR18-dependent manner.
Role of E-Cig Salts in HDM-Induced Asthma

description: Traditional cigarette smoke irritates epithelial airways and can increase the rate of asthma attacks in asthma-prone individuals. Therefore, e-cigarettes have been marketed as a safer alternative to traditional cigarettes and as a smoking cessation tool. However, the safety of e-cigs in individuals with asthma is still unknown. The inhaled components of e- cigs most commonly consist of humectants, flavorings, and nicotine. The most popular e-cig brands deliver nicotine to the user as a salt formed by heating free-base nicotine with various organic acids, such as benzoic, lactic, salicylic, and levulinic acid. Although these organic acids are generally considered to be safe when ingested, the inhalational toxicity of these agents is unclear and needs to be investigated. I predicted that groups of mice treated with both HDM and a nicotine salt through oropharyngeal aspiration will show more severe signs of HDM-induced asthma (increased airway eosinophils and increased goblet cell metaplasia) than mice treated with just HDM or PBS alone, implying that benzoic, levulinic, salicylic, and lactic acid exacerbate airway inflammation and worsen HDM-induced asthma in a mouse model. Chronic and persistent airway exposure to HDM+levulinate, HDM+salicylate, HDM+ salicylate, and HDM+benzoate promoted neutrophilic airway inflammation and caused a higher increase in goblet cell metaplasia than in HDM or PBS alone.

description: This study establishes the preferences for vocabulary learning strategies (VLSs) in different contexts, by examining two groups of learners of Arabic (one with L1 English and the other with L1 Chinese) as an L2. The first and second experiments were designed to identify the selection and use of VLSs in intentional and incidental modes of vocabulary learning, and to examine the effects of VLSs on immediate and delayed word retention. The third experiment (eye-tracking) explored these strategies in depth, alongside the behaviours utilised for incidental vocabulary acquisition, also assessing the factors influencing be VLS use, using the eye tracking technique to aid stimulated verbal recall. A mixed methods design was used, based on triangulating the findings from quantitative (vocabulary tests and retrospective reporting of strategies) and qualitative (interviews and stimulated recall interviews using eye-tracking) data collection instruments. The study identified a list of VLSs that were used in both modes, and these were then systematically classified into four vocabulary learning categories. The quantitative data revealed a number of strategies were vulnerable to the significant effects from predictor variables; i.e., group, mode of learning, and test time. The quantitative data also showed a significant relationship between the VLSs used and the uptake of vocabulary type (noun/verb) and subtypes (concrete/abstract noun & action/state verb) in post and delayed post-test tasks. The qualitative data highlighted different ways of implementing VLS, especially with strategies identified in the incidental mode, such as guessing strategies, and repeated reading. The findings showed further interesting variations in the vocabulary gained, confirming that VLSs are conscious and essential in both modes of learning (intentional/incidental). The implications of these findings as they effect learning and teaching in the intentional and incidental context are presented and discussed.

description: The number of electric vehicles is increasing exponentially and there is a high need for charging infrastructure. Furthermore, climate change motivates for the integration of renewable energy. Therefore, a DC-coupled charging station connected to photovoltaic and a stationary battery system is being researched for a workplace environment. The component sizes are economically optimized for 20 charging points. The influence of a simple photovoltaic persistence forecast on the marginal charging tariff and the self-sufficiency is analysed depending on the component sizes. It is shown, that the positive influence of implementing a self-consumption maximizing charging strategy outweighs the monetary losses of forecasting inaccuracies. The decrease in self-sufficiency compared to a perfect PV forecast for a system without a stationary battery is 1 percentage point versus an increase of 20 percentage points compared to uncontrolled charging. Although systems without a battery are more economic, it is also shown, that systems with a battery can become economic for larger PV sizes.

description: World potato production continuously requires new cultivars to satisfy farmers’ and consumers’ demand. Tuber yield and quality are some of the main potato breeding targets. In this study, 27 advanced potato clones from 7 hybrid families were evaluated for yield, tuber specific gravity and chipping ability. Variability in tuber yield was found between families as well as between clones. Forty-eight percent of clones showed higher productivity compared to the best control (Agria, 1.1 Kg). Families displayed significant differences also in terms of tubers specific gravity, with about 70% of clones with a score higher than 1.080, which was considered the minimum acceptable value for processing. Chipping ability was evaluated at harvesting time and after cold storage with and without reconditioning. The majority of studied clones showed a good chipping ability score (<4.5) at harvest; five samples chipped well after cold storage with reconditioning, while good chippers were not identified after cold storage without reconditioning. The use of an arbitrary index calculated for each clone is proposed to assist the selection of materials with a good trait combination.

description: The intrinsic tenase complex (FIXa-FVIIIa) of the intrinsic coagulation pathway and, to a lesser extent, thrombin-mediated activation of FXI, are necessary to amplify tissue factor (TF)-FVIIa-initiated thrombin generation. In this study, we determined the contribution of murine FIX and FXI to TF-dependent thrombin generation in vitro. We further investigated TF-dependent FIX activation in mice and the contribution of this pathway to hemostasis. Thrombin generation was decreased in FIX- but not in FXI-deficient mouse plasma. Furthermore, injection of TF increased levels of FIXa-antithrombin complexes in both wildtype and FXI-/- mice. Genetic studies were used to determine the effect of complete deficiencies of either FIX or FXI on the survival of mice expressing low levels of TF. Low-TF; FIX2/y male mice were born at the expected frequency, but none survived to wean. In contrast, low-TF;FXI-/- mice were generated at the expected frequency at wean and had a 6-month survival equivalent to that of low-TF mice. Surprisingly, a deficiency of FXI, but not FIX, exacerbated the size of blood pools in low-TF placentas and led to acute hemorrhage and death of some pregnant dams. Our data indicate that FIX, but not FXI, is essential for survival of low-TF mice after birth. This finding suggests that TF-FVIIa-mediated activation of FIX plays a critical role in murine hemostasis. In contrast, FXI deficiency, but not FIX deficiency, exacerbated blood pooling in low-TF placentas, indicating a tissue-specific requirement for FXI in the murine placenta under conditions of low TF.
