description: Tracking the occurrence and spread of Grapevine red blotch virus (GRBV) depends on robust and reliable diagnostics. Tissue sampling strategy and optimal choice of molecular test are critical for diagnostic success. This study investigated GRBV titres from several grapevine tissues, including roots, buds, cortical scrapings, and leaves, at varying distances from the cordons, and at different times during the growing season and winter dormancy. Two common nucleic acid extraction techniques were compared, a low-cost high-throughput nucleic acid extraction method (GES) and a DNA column purification method. Optimal combinations of sampling parameters were determined for summer and winter diagnostics. In dormant samples, cortical scrapings yielded the highest GRBV titres and produced no false-negatives. In summer samples, basal leaves yielded high GRBV titres throughout the summer months, with only one false negative on the earliest sample date. These two tissues provide the best samples for reliable and reproducible GRBV diagnostics. The crude GES and DNA column purification methods performed comparably well for binary diagnostics, however, the GES method performed poorly in quantitative analysis.

description: Clubroot, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, is a major disease of canola (Brassica napus). This study evaluated the effect of clubroot development on the yield of this crop under field and greenhouse conditions. Three canola cultivars, ‘45H31’ (susceptible), ‘45H29’ (1st-generation resistance) and ‘CS2000’ (2nd-generation resistance), were inoculated with different quantities of P. brassicae inoculum and monitored for yield, pods per plant and 1000-grain weight. The field experiment was conducted over 2 years in biosecure clubroot nurseries inoculated with pathotype 5X or a mix of pathotypes 5X and 3H at 5 × 104, 5 × 106 and 5 × 108 resting spores per plant. In the greenhouse experiment, plants were inoculated with pathotypes 5X, 3H or a mixture of both at 1 × 103, 1 × 104 and 1 × 106 resting spores per plant. In both the field and greenhouse, clubroot incidence and disease severity index (DSI) increased along with inoculum concentration; the highest levels of disease were observed in the susceptible cultivar, while the lowest levels were found in ‘45H29.’ Yield, pods per plant and 1000-grain weight decreased as the DSI increased in all cultivars. Yield was affected by DSI and cultivar but not pathotype. Regression analysis indicated that under greenhouse conditions, an increment of 1% in DSI resulted in a decrease of 0.49% in yield; under field conditions, this percentage was reduced to 0.26%. While the rate of yield reduction was similar among cultivars, overall yield loss was lower in the resistant hosts, as they developed less disease.

description: Botrytis blossom blight is an important disease of wild blueberries (Vaccinium angustifolium) and causes substantial yield loss annually. Field trials that involve primary inoculum reduction and disease reduction techniques were conducted for the 2015/2016 and 2019/2020 growing seasons. The aim of this study was to evaluate the single and combined effects of thermal treatment, calcium polysulphide and Trichoderma harzianum T-22 application on Botrytis blossom blight development, physical plant structure and harvestable yield over the 2-year production cycle of the crop. The treatments were such that fields were thermally treated in May after pruning, followed by calcium polysulphide application in November 2015 and 2019. Trichoderma harzianum was applied in June 2016 and 2020 as single and combined treatments. Thermal treatment + calcium polysulphide + T. harzianum and thermal treatment + calcium polysulphide combinations reduced Botrytis blossom blight incidence and severity by over 50% and 74%, respectively, compared with the untreated control in both seasons. Plots receiving only the thermal treatment and calcium polysulphide as well as the calcium polysulphide + T. harzianum combination showed reductions in disease incidence of over 51, 38 and 81%, and reductions in disease severity of 55, 39 and 68%, respectively, compared with the untreated control. Plots that received thermal treatment combined with calcium polysulphide had taller stems, and a higher number of floral and vegetative buds. Results from this study have demonstrated that Botrytis blossom blight in wild blueberry fields can be adequately reduced when calcium polysulphide is used tandem with thermal treatment and biofungicides.

description: Abstract: During World War I in Britain, women workers took on previously men-only jobs on the railways. In response to this wartime development, the National Union of Railwaymen published a series of cartoons in their journal, Railway Review. These images depicted women employed as porters and guards, occupying the engine footplate, and acting in the role of station-mistress. Through a close reading of the cartoons, and related images in the journal, this article examines how the humorous portrayal of female railway workers reinforced masculine occupational identities at the same time as revealing ambiguities in (and negotiating anxieties over) the gendered nature of railway employment. Despite wartime labour shortages, certain occupations, notably the driving and firing of steam trains, remained stolidly men's work and would do so until the late twentieth century. By scrutinising the construction of gendered occupational culture in union journals, we can better understand the tenacity of notions of "traditional" work for men and women on the railways.

description: ‘Pierre Schaeffer's Typo-Morphology of Sonic Objects’ proposes to present to the English-speaking reader the two accomplished stages of Schaeffer's 1966 solfège, namely typology and morphology, as expounded in Traité des objets musicaux, situating them in the larger context of Schaeffer's musicological work, and in the specific context of the solfège. This is done through translation of and commentary on Schaeffer's writing.

Chapter I surveys the years 1948–57, exposing the shifts of priorities that define three phases: research into noises, concrete music, and experimental music. Particular attention is paid to Schaeffer's conception of experimental music, and through the analysis of ‘Vers une musique expérimentale’, what has generally been seen as an antagonism between the Paris and the Cologne studios emerges as the conflict between two opposing approaches to technology and tradition. Chapter II delineates three notions that underpin the fourth phase of Schaeffer's musicological work, musical research, of which the 1966 solfège is the programme: acousmatic listening, four listening functions, and sonic object. Chapter III elaborates on the premisses of typology and morphology. Chapter IV expounds typology proper, whilst chapter V presents morphology and the sketch of the subsequent operations of solfège: characterology and analysis.

From this study, it emerges that Traité des objets musicaux is first and foremost an inexhaustible repository of insights into sound perception. Typology, the first stage of the solfège, is doubtless a successfully accomplished project. However, as a method for discovering a universal musicality, the solfège enterprise needs to be viewed with caution. It suffers from the almost open-ended nature of its metaphorical vocabulary, the emphasis the text lays on reactive rhetoric, its reliance on ‘methods of approximation’, and from a gradual distancing from perceptual reality itself. This notwithstanding, Traité des objets musicaux appears as a fundamental text of twentieth-century musicology. It brings to the fore two crucial issues: technology and the ways it alters our manner of perceiving and expressing reality, and reality itself thereby; the friction between sounds and musical structures, transparent in the text as the friction between isolated words and the discourse, transparent in Schaeffer's life as the friction between the man and the social structures he has needed to fit in.

description: © 2019 Trans Tech Publications Ltd, Switzerland. This work aimed to investigate the effects of boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) on the mechanical and thermal properties of BNNT-polycaprolactone (PCL) nanocomposites. BNNTs were synthesized via co-precipitation and annealing process by using amorphous boron powder as a precursor. PCL-BNNT nanocomposites were prepared by using sonication and thermal curing. Their morphology, thermal and tensile properties were characterized. Morphological observation revealed that BNNTs were arbitrarily and evenly dispersed within the PCL which indicated a good dispersion of the nanotubes in polymer matrix. Both the thermal stability and mechanical properties of neat PCL were enhanced with the addition of BNNTs to polymer matrix, in particular the tensile strength of PLC was increased by 101% with the addition of 5 wt% nanofillers.

description: Background: There is limited Australian epidemiological research that reports on the foot-health characteristics of people with diabetes, especially within rural and regional settings. The objective of this study was to explore the associations between demographic, socio-economic and diabetes-related variables with diabetes-related foot morbidity in people residing in regional and rural Australia. Methods: Adults with diabetes were recruited from non-metropolitan Australian publicly-funded podiatry services. The primary variable of interest was the University of Texas diabetic foot risk classification designated to each participant at baseline. Independent risk factors for diabetes-related foot morbidity were identified using multivariable analysis. Results: Eight-hundred and ninety-nine participants enrolled, 443 (49.3%) in Tasmania and 456 (50.7%) in Victoria. Mean age was 67 years (SD 12.7), 9.2% had type 1 diabetes, 506 (56.3%) were male, 498 (55.4%) had diabetes for longer than 10 years and 550 (61.2%) either did not know the ideal HbA1c target or reported that it was ≥7.0. A majority had peripheral neuropathy or worse foot morbidity (61.0%). Foot morbidity was associated with male sex (OR 2.42, 95% CI 1.82-3.22), duration of diabetes > 20 years (OR 3.25, 95% CI 2.22-4.75), and Tasmanian residence (OR 3.38, 95% CI 2.35-4.86). Conclusions: A high proportion of the regional Australian clinical population with diabetes seen by the publicly-funded podiatric services in this study were at high risk of future limb threatening foot morbidity, and participants residing in Northern Tasmania are more likely to have worse diabetes-related foot morbidity than those from regional Victoria. Service models should be reviewed to ensure that diabetes-related foot services are appropriately developed and resourced to deliver interdisciplinary evidence-based care.

description: Based on the life cycle, competitive strategy and continuous innovation theory, we empirically examine how life cycle and competitive strategy affect firms' continuous innovation in China. The results show that declining firms tend to engage in less continuous innovation compared with growing or mature firms, which are more inclined to engage in continuous innovations. Results have also indicated that firms with offensive strategy engage in more continuous innovation compared with those following defensive strategy. Surprisingly, continuous innovation has a significant negative effect on business performance in different dimensions, such as return on assets, operating profit margin and enterprise value. Considering that the effect of continuous innovation on enterprise business performance may not be evident during the same financial period, we further examined the effects of continuous innovation on firms' assets return ratio, operating profit ratio and enterprise value over 1-5 years ahead. However, we do not find continuous innovation having any positive effects on business performance.

description: This paper analyses the ‘Simbo for Change’ project in the Western Province of Solomon Islands, a collaboration between Simbo leaders and a Samoan non-governmental organisation (NGO), with funding provided by the Australian aid programme. We explore the role of local leadership in catalysing an island-wide community development project that has generated new livelihoods opportunities and led to greater community cohesion and more proactive governance. By mobilising around a ‘collective subject’ (Simbo as an island community), the project allowed existing skills and practices to be revalued and extended, particularly in relation to chiefly governance and the standing of women in the community. While mobilising the island scale was important in building social cohesion and support for livelihoods activities, this was not a parochial identity but was redefined by stronger connections to off-island markets, organic accreditation for Simbo, renewed interest from provincial and national government authorities and by the enduring trans-Pacific friendships established with the Samoan NGO and its trainers. The case study provides an example of the constructive potential of the island scale in Melanesia, whereas other recent studies of similar scale-making processes have focused on violent conflict generated by industrial scale mining.

description: PRED-TMBB was presented for the first time in 2004 and is one of the most cited methods regarding the topology prediction and detection of beta-barrel outer membrane proteins. Here, we present an update to this method, PRED-TMBB2, which contains several new features that improve its performance significantly. The major difference is the incorporation of evolutionary information in the form of Multiple Sequence Alignments (MSAs), which drastically improves the topology prediction capability and makes it able to achieve higher performance compared to all other available methods. At the same time, the single-sequence version of PRED-TMBB2 manages to perform better than almost all methods regarding detection of beta-barrel proteins in large datasets, outperforming even methods that use MSAs and are much slower. The combination of single- and multiple-sequence version of PRED-TMBB2 is something unique and we anticipate it will be of great interest to researchers in this field.

description: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a promising noninvasive treatment option for cancers and other diseases. The key factor that determines the effectiveness of PDT is the photosensitizers (PSs). Upon light irradiation, the PSs would be activated, produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), and induce cell death. One of the challenges is that traditional PSs adopt a large flat disc-like structure, which tend to interact with the adjacent molecules through strong π-πstacking that reduces their ROS generation ability. Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) molecules with a twisted configuration to suppress strong intermolecular interactions represent a new class of PSs for image-guided PDT. In this Miniperspective, we summarize the recent progress on the design rationale of AIE-PSs and the strategies to achieve desirable theranostic applications in cancers. Subsequently, approaches of combining AIE-PS with other imaging and treatment modalities, challenges, and future directions are addressed.

description: Beta-barrel outer membrane proteins (OMPs) are crucial for the life of Gram-negative bacteria, since they participate in many diverse procedures. OMPdb (http://www.ompdb.org/) is the largest, most complete and well characterized collection of OMPs from Gram-negative bacteria. Our database contains extensive information for each protein (entry) including protein description and classification, sequence, organism name, taxonomy, links to other databases, accompanied with annotation for TM segments and signal peptides. All proteins are classified into families based on function and sequence similarity. Each family (family entry) is extensively described and the information provided are the function of protein members, literature references, a list of proteins with 3D-structure (if any), and the respective seed and full protein alignments. Currently, OMPdb contains 91 families and more than 400,000 proteins. Out of the 91 families, 15 families were built completely from scratch, 16 do not belong to the respective clan of Pfam, while 6 of them are annotated as DUF in Pfam. OMPdb follows the monthly updates of Uniprot through a semi-automated procedure. Users may search the database using Text, Domain and/or BLAST Search and the database can be downloaded in several formats (text, FASTA, XML) through the Download page. We are now in collaboration with Pfam and TCDB in order to cross-link our databases. Finally, our database is coupled with PRED-TMBB2, the best performing algorithm for the topology prediction and detection of OMPs. We believe that OMPdb is valuable tool in the hands of researchers working with this important superfamily of transmembrane proteins.

description: This project examines how power hierarchies affect research visits conducted by staff and students at the
London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and outlines practical recommendations to help
researchers navigate these dynamics.
While efforts to promote equitable research partnerships and decolonise research have resulted in guidance
about shifting decision-making from "Northern" (e.g., UK) to "Southern" (Global South) institutions more broadly,
there is less practical guidance on how to identify and navigate complex power dynamics (especially those related
to gender, race, age, and expertise) during “field” visits, when data collection, training or meetings occur.
These power dynamics exist not only between Northern/Southern actors but also within research teams
themselves and can manifest in many ways, including as sexism, racism, White Saviourism, microaggressions,
cultural insensitivity, and assumptions about expertise. However, there are many promising practices being
implemented to promote equitable research and change these dynamics.
The project aims to develop practical recommendations for researchers to address these micro- and macro-level
power hierarchies during overseas visits, through: a) a rapid review of literature; b) interviews with LSHTM staff,
Research Degree students, and research partners, and c) feedback workshops with research participants, as well
as other interested staff, students and research partners, filling gaps in existing global health research guidance
and LSHTM's own resources.

description: This paper presents the preliminary findings of La Trobe University’s archaeological research project in Oman. The study aims to investigate the earliest presence of Homo erectus out of Africa, on the Arabian Peninsula. While substantiate proof of occupation attributed to Homo erectus has been found in parts of central and eastern Eurasia, the majority of evidence found on the Arabian Peninsula are surface finds, or those that lack the contextual integrity necessary for absolute dating. Dating via typological analyses of stone tool types has been the main means used to provide relative dates for sites, with obvious limitations. Our two main project aims are to establish absolute dates using archaeological material recovered from stratified deposits, and to find evidence that will assist in identifying which species was extant. Field survey of caves and rock-shelters the northern and southern mountain ranges in the Sultanate of Oman, test pitting, full excavation and laboratory analysis involving archaeological specialists are the modes of investigation we intend to employ to achieve our aims. This paper provides an overview of the first season of the project, undertaken in February 2019, which was a field survey of wadi systems in three main areas in the Western and Eastern Al Hajar Mountain ranges. Here we discuss our methods for Season 1, 2019, and the identification of 12 caves and rock shelters that merit future testing for the presence of archaeology.
title: Large Planar Maneuvers for Articulated Flexible Manipulators

description: An articulated flexible manipulator carried on a translational cart is maneuvered by an active controller to perform certain position control tasks. The nonlinear dynamics of the articulated flexible manipulator are derived and a transformation matrix is formulated to localize the nonlinearities within the inertia matrix. Then a feedback linearization scheme is introduced to linearize the dynamic equations for controller design. Through a pole placement technique, a robust controller design is obtained by properly assigning a set of closed loop desired eigenvalues to meet performance requirements. Numerical simulations for the articulated flexible manipulators are given to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed position control algorithms.

A program for verification of phylogenetic network models

Year: 2016

description: Motivation: Genetic material is transferred in a non-reproductive manner across species more frequently than commonly thought, particularly in the bacteria kingdom. On one hand, extant genomes are thus more properly considered as a fusion product of both reproductive and non-reproductive genetic transfers. This has motivated researchers to adopt phylogenetic networks to study genome evolution. On the other hand, a gene’s evolution is usually tree-like and has been studied for over half a century. Accordingly, the relationships between phylogenetic trees and networks are the basis for the reconstruction and verification of phylogenetic networks. One important problem in verifying a network model is determining whether or not certain existing phylogenetic trees are displayed in a phylogenetic network. This problem is formally called the tree containment problem. It is NP-complete even for binary phylogenetic networks.

Results: We design an exponential time but efficient method for determining whether or not a phylogenetic tree is displayed in an arbitrary phylogenetic network. It is developed on the basis of the so-called reticulation-visible property of phylogenetic networks.

The Rigby Space Framework: Quantum Field Theory & The Final Unification
Creators: name: Veneziano, D
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: Quantum Field Theory (QFT) is the cornerstone of modern physics, yet its foundations rely on perturbative methods, arbitrary renormalization, and mathematical constructs that obscure the deeper nature of reality. The Rigby Space (RS) framework provides a fundamental reformulation, eliminating infinities, stabilizing quantum interactions, and resolving vacuum energy inconsistencies without resorting to fine-tuning. By replacing conventional assumptions with the emergent constants VEN (Vibrational Energy Nexus) and LUC (Localized Universal Constraint), RS establishes a complete, testable framework that unifies gravity, quantum mechanics, and field theory. This document marks the final chapter of the old paradigm and the opening of a new era in physics.
description: This updated version of the Rigby Space QFT paper corrects unit inconsistencies, explicitly defines the force emergence Lagrangian, and refines the relativistic Hamiltonian structure. The framework remains mathematically self-consistent and observationally testable, integrating seamlessly with the Rigby Space unification model. This revision responds to early feedback and strengthens the theoretical foundation.

3D bioprinting involves engineering live cells into a 3D structure, using a 3D printer to print cells, often together with a compatible 3D scaffold. 3D-printed cells and tissues may be used for a range of purposes including medical research, in vitro drug testing, and in vivo transplantation. The inclusion of living cells and biomaterials in the 3D printing process raises ethical, policy, and regulatory issues at each stage of the bioprinting process that include the source of cells and materials, stability and biocompatibility of cells and materials, disposal of 3D-printed materials, intended use, and long-term effects. This chapter focuses on the ethical issues that arise from 3D bioprinting in the lab—from consideration of the source of cells and materials, ensuring their quality and safety, through to testing of bioprinted materials in animal and human trials. It also provides guidance on where to seek information concerning appropriate regulatory frameworks and guidelines, including on classification and patenting of 3D-bioprinted materials, and identifies regulatory gaps that deserve attention.

description: We deal with the problem of determining the existence and uniqueness of Lagrangians for systems of n second order ordinary differential equations. A number of recent theorems are presented, using exterior differential systems theory (EDS). In particular, we indicate how to generalise Jesse Douglas’s famous solution for n = 2. We then examine a new class of solutions in arbitrary dimension n and give some non-trivial examples in dimension 3.
title: Analysis and Design Sensitivity Computations of Nonlinear Free and Forced Vibrations of Stepped Beams
Creators: name: Xue, Yong Xiang

publisherIdentifier: https://ror.org/04zjtrb98

Year: 1987

description: A finite element method is developed in this thesis for analyzing stepped beams under nonlinear free and forced vibrations. A new assumption is made to improve an existing finite element procedure for treating beams of nonuniform cross sections. The geometric nonlinearity results from the nonlinear, strain-displacement relation due to large deflection of a beam.

Based on an improved finite element procedure a computational method is then established for design sensitivity analyses of nonlinear eigenproblems pertaining to the free and forced nonlinear vibrations of beams. It is found that the equation for computing the design sensitivity of eigenvector is linear and nonsymmetric. A prior knowledge of the eigenvector design sensitivity is needed for the calculation of the eigenvalue sensitivity.

Numerical results show that the proposed computational methods are valid and efficient.
