description: 1 Many alien taxa are known to cause socio‐economic impacts by affecting the different constituents of human well‐being (security; material and non‐material assets; health; social, spiritual and cultural relations; freedom of choice and action). Attempts to quantify socio‐economic impacts in monetary terms are unlikely to provide a useful basis for evaluating and comparing impacts of alien taxa because they are notoriously difficult to measure and important aspects of human well‐being are ignored. 2 Here, we propose a novel standardised method for classifying alien taxa in terms of the magnitude of their impacts on human well‐being, based on the capability approach from welfare economics. The core characteristic of this approach is that it uses changes in peoples' activities as a common metric for evaluating impacts on well‐being. 2 Impacts are assigned to one of five levels, from Minimal Concern to Massive, according to semi‐quantitative scenarios that describe the severity of the impacts. Taxa are then classified according to the highest level of deleterious impact that they have been recorded to cause on any constituent of human well‐being. The scheme also includes categories for taxa that are not evaluated, have no alien population, or are data deficient, and a method for assigning uncertainty to all the classifications. To demonstrate the utility of the system, we classified impacts of amphibians globally. These showed a variety of impacts on human well‐being, with the cane toad (Rhinella marina) scoring Major impacts. For most species, however, no studies reporting impacts on human well‐being were found, i.e. these species were data deficient. 2 The classification provides a consistent procedure for translating the broad range of measures and types of impact into ranked levels of socio‐economic impact, assigns alien taxa on the basis of the best available evidence of their documented deleterious impacts, and is applicable across taxa and at a range of spatial scales. The system was designed to align closely with the Environmental Impact Classification for Alien Taxa (EICAT) and the Red List, both of which have been adopted by the International Union of Nature Conservation (IUCN), and could therefore be readily integrated into international practices and policies.

description: By using Yanhua FCC gasoline and a fraction of Yanhua FCC gasoline (boiling point < 90 °C) as a feedstock, the effects of reaction temperature, Weight Hour Space Velocity (WHSV), and feedstock performance on yields of LPG, aromatics and propylene production were studied in a confined fluidized bed reactor. The experimental results show that yields of aromatics, propylene, and aromatics + propylene for both Yanhua FCC gasoline and the selected fraction of Yanhua FCC gasoline increase with the increase of reaction temperature at the same WHSV. Yields of aromatics, propylene and aromatics+propylene decrease with the increase of WHSV at the same reaction temperature.

description: Large Language Models (LLMs) have raised increasing concerns about their misuse in generating hate speech. Among all the efforts to address this issue, hate speech detectors play a crucial role. However, the effectiveness of different detectors against LLM-generated hate speech remains largely unknown. In this paper, we propose HateBench, a framework for benchmarking hate speech detectors on LLM-generated hate speech. We first construct a hate speech dataset of 7,838 samples generated by six widely-used LLMs covering 34 identity groups, with meticulous annotations by three labelers. We then assess the effectiveness of eight representative hate speech detectors on the LLM-generated dataset. Our results show that while detectors are generally effective in identifying LLM-generated hate speech, their performance degrades with newer versions of LLMs. We also reveal the potential of LLM-driven hate campaigns, a new threat that LLMs bring to the field of hate speech detection. By leveraging advanced techniques like adversarial attacks and model stealing attacks, the adversary can intentionally evade the detector and automate hate campaigns online. The most potent adversarial attack achieves an attack success rate of 0.966, and its attack efficiency can be further improved by 13−21× through model stealing attacks with acceptable attack performance. We hope our study can serve as a call to action for the research community and platform moderators to fortify defenses against these emerging threats.

description: y using Yanhua FCC gasoline and a selected fraction of Yanhua FCC gasoline as feedstocks, the effects of reaction temperature, Weight Hour Space Velocity (WHSV), and feedstock performance on yields of LPG, aromatics, and propylene production were investigated in a confined fluidized bed reactor. The experimental result show that yields of aromatics, propylene, and aromatics + propylene for both Yanhua FCC gasoline and fraction of Yanhua FCC gasoline increase with the increase of reaction temperature at the same WHSV. Yields of aromatics, propylene, and aromatics + propylene decrease with the increase of WHSV at the same reaction temperature. Eight-lump kinetics and ten-lump kinetics are pointed out. The experimental results show that both kinetic models can predict the distribution of gasoline conversion and the composition of hydrocarbons of gasoline products under the different reaction conditions.

description: Random mixtures of waste plastics raw materials were thermolysed  into liquid hydrocarbons at laboratory scales in a batch process by using a stainless steel reactor. Two series  of experiments were carried out with random mixtures of waste plastics such as low and high density polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene in the presence of 10 and 20 % calcium carbonate, respectively, at temperatures between 100 and 430 ºC. Four types of randomly mixed waste plastics were used in each series of experiments.  The hydrocarbon oils formed were  analyzed by using a gas chromatography and mass spectrometer (GC/MS) to determine the amounts and types of hydrocarbons. By using 10% calcium carbonate, the formed hydrocarbon mixture contained C4 to C40 compounds while, in the presence of 20% calcium carbonate, the product consists of C3 to C27 hydrocarbons determined by GC/MS analysis. Due to the high number of hydrocarbons in the oils formed in each series of thermal decomposition experiment, the oily products can be used as fuels for internal combustion engines or electric power plants.

description: The von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a glycoprotein in the blood that plays a central role in hemostasis. Among other functions, VWF is responsible for platelet adhesion at sites of injury via its A1 domain. Its adjacent VWF domain A2 exposes a cleavage site under shear to degrade long VWF fibers in order to prevent thrombosis. Recently, it has been shown that VWF A1/A2 interactions inhibit the binding of platelets to VWF domain A1 in a force-dependent manner prior to A2 cleavage. However, whether and how this interaction also takes place in longer VWF fragments as well as the strength of this interaction in the light of typical elongation forces imposed by the shear flow of blood remained elusive. Here, we addressed these questions by using single molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS), Brownian dynamics (BD), and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Our SMFS measurements demonstrate that the A2 domain has the ability to bind not only to single A1 domains but also to VWF A1A2 fragments. SMFS experiments of a mutant [A2] domain, containing a disulfide bond which stabilizes the domain against unfolding, enhanced A1 binding. This observation suggests that the mutant adopts a more stable conformation for binding to A1. We found intermolecular A1/A2 interactions to be preferred over intramolecular A1/A2 interactions. Our data are also consistent with the existence of two cooperatively acting binding sites for A2 in the A1 domain. Our SMFS measurements revealed a slip-bond behavior for the A1/A2 interaction and their lifetimes were estimated for forces acting on VWF multimers at physiological shear rates using BD simulations. Complementary fitting of AFM rupture forces in the MD simulation range adequately reproduced the force response of the A1/A2 complex spanning a wide range of loading rates. In conclusion, we here characterized the auto-inhibitory mechanism of the intramolecular A1/A2 bond as a shear dependent safeguard of VWF, which prevents the interaction of VWF with platelets.

description: Salicyaldehyde thiosemicarbazone complexes of Pd(II), Cu(II) and Ru(III) have been characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance, infrared, NMR, electronic spectra and thermal analyses. The data show the formation of two different types of complexes 1:1 and 1:2 metal: ligand stoichiometries. The dc electrical conductivity of the ligand and the complexes was measured at varying temperatures. The results obtained were explained and discussed in terms of proposed semicondutive behavior of the complexes and a probable occurrence of phase transition. The activation energies were calculated for the ligand and the complexes.

description: Η ανίχνευση αντικειμένων σε εικόνες τηλεπισκόπησης αποτελεί μια δύσκολη πρόκληση για την ερευνητική κοινότητα της computer vision λόγω της παρουσίας μικρών ή πολύ μικρών αντικειμένων, τα οποία συχνά είναι δύσκολο να ανιχνευτούν επειδή καταλαμβάνουν μόνο ένα μικρό ποσοστό της εικόνας. Αυτά τα αντικείμενα μπορούν να οριστούν με δύο βασικούς τρόπους: σχετικά, όταν ένα αντικείμενο θεωρείται μικρό εάν το bounding box του καλύπτει λιγότερο από το 1% της περιοχής της εικόνας, ή απόλυτα, όταν τα μικρά αντικείμενα ορίζονται από συγκεκριμένες διαστάσεις σε pixels, όπως 32x32 pixels στο dataset MS-COCO ή 16x16 pixels στο USC-GRAD-STDb. Υπήρξαν βελτιώσεις στη μέση Μέση Ακρίβεια (mean Average Precision - mAP) των μοντέλων μέσω διαφορετικών αρχιτεκτονικών. Τα περισσότερα μοντέλα ανίχνευσης γίνονται πιο πολύπλοκα και μεγαλύτερα, γεγονός που μπορεί να δημιουργήσει πρόβλημα όταν ένα μοντέλο ανίχνευσης προορίζεται για χρήση σε δορυφόρο ή Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), καθώς οι υπολογιστικοί πόροι τους είναι περιορισμένοι. Η παρούσα διατριβή προτείνει ένα νέο backbone, το Extended Feature Pyramid Network, για το visual transformer Masked-Attention Mask Transformer ως ο detector. Αυτό το νέο μοντέλο χρησιμοποιεί feature maps, bounding boxes και masks ως πληροφορία για να εντοπίσει και να ταξινομήσει αποτελεσματικά μικρά αντικείμενα. Αυτή η προσέγγιση πέτυχε σημαντική μείωση στην υπολογιστική πολυπλοκότητα, συγκεκριμένα μείωση κατά 56% στις Giga Floating Point Operations Per Second (GFLOPs) σε όλες τις περιπτώσεις. Τα datasets που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν για την αξιολόγηση των μοντέλων με τη προτεινόμενη μέθοδο ήταν τα Microsoft Common Object in COntext (MS COCO), VisDrone και Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Small Object Detection (UAV-SOD). Στο dataset UAV-SOD το μοντέλο παρουσίασε βελτίωση 3.1% στο mAP, ενώ είχε σχεδόν ταυτόσημη απόδοση στο πιο περίπλοκο dataset MS COCO με μείωση 6.5%. Τέλος, στο dataset VisDrone παρατηρήσαμε μεγαλύτερη μείωση στην απόδοση, περίπου 13%, καθώς τα δεδομένα του test set περιλάμβαναν αντικείμενα που το μοντέλο εντόπισε και ταξινόμησε σωστά, αλλά οι σημάνσεις (annotations) δεν τα συμπεριλάμβαναν. Σε αυτή την τελευταία περίπτωση, πιστεύουμε ότι η απόδοση του μοντέλου ήταν καλύτερη από ό,τι μπορεί να υποδεικνύουν τα αποτελέσματα. Συνολικά τα αποτελέσματα καταδεικνύουν την αποτελεσματικότητα της προτεινόμενης μεθόδου, παρέχοντας χρήσιμες πληροφορίες στη multi-task learning και επιτυγχάνοντας μεγαλύτερη ακρίβεια και καλύτερη υπολογιστική αποδοτικότητα σε ένα σύνολο απαιτητικών datasets.

description: A six-coordinated Ni(II) complex, bis(O-ethylxanthato)bis(3, 5-dimethylpyridine)nickel(II), [C20H28N2NiO2S4], has been synthesized by the reaction of bis(O-ethylxanthato)nickel(II) with3,5-dimethyl pyridine in acetone. The Ni atom in the title complex is octahedrally coordinated within a trans-N2S4 donor set, with the Ni atom located on a centre of inversion. The structure of the title compound was elucidated by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1 with unit-cell parameters: a = 7.1750(3) Å, b = 9.3864(5) Å, c = 9.6914(4) Å and α = 84.962(4)°, β = 73.017(4)°, γ = 75.172(4)°. The crystal structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to a final R-value of 0.0238 for 2162 observed reflections. The asymmetric unit comprises half a molecule. The pyridine ring is coplanar, and is held almost perpendicular to the dithiocarbonato group. Molecules in the crystal are packed together to form layers.

description: Describing populations with peculiar phenotypic features as new taxa can lead to taxonomic inflation, hampering conservation and ecological studies. Here, we tested the current taxonomy of the Dianthus virgineus complex, a diverse group of wild carnations that may be taxonomically inflated. We conducted a morphometric study including 28 characters acquired from all the 21 taxa occurring in the central Mediterranean, for a total of 73 populations and 1,299 individuals. We conducted Gaussian mixture model-based clustering to detect morphological groups throughout the study area and to assess the support of different grouping scenarios. We also characterized and tested climatic differences among groups belonging to the best-supported scenarios. The current taxonomy is the least supported scenario, whereas a hypothesis based on 10 groups, delineated by the unsupervised analysis, is the best supported, albeit the boundaries among these clusters are not always clear. Significant climatic differences were detected only among morphotypes occupying the extremes of the variation of the complex. A geographical delimitation is still more supported than the current taxonomic setting, reflecting a significant climatic difference among the two geographical clusters. Our results support a phenotypic continuum and an overall taxonomic inflation within the Dianthus virgineus complex in the central Mediterranean.

description: Calcium signaling plays a crucial role in stress sensing and alleviation in plants, with calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) acting as major sensors of Ca2+ flux. This study examined the function of BsCDPK1, a CDPK from the endangered medicinal orchid Bletilla striata, in mediating salt stress responses, a significant constraint on plant growth and productivity. Expression of the BsCDPK1 gene was upregulated by salt stress and abscisic acid (ABA). Transgenic plants expressing BsCDPK1 displayed salt insensitivity, as evidenced by seed germination, cotyledon greening, and relative root growth under high-salt conditions. Constitutive expression of BsCDPK1 in Arabidopsis upregulated AtMYB2 and the stress-response gene AtDREB2A. These findings highlight BsCDPK1’s role in the plant salt stress response, which is significant for conserving Bletilla striata understanding the plant calcium signaling mechanism, and potentially enhancing crop salt tolerance.

description: Fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) are resident mesenchymal progenitors in adult skeletal muscle that support muscle repair, but also give rise to fibrous and adipose infiltration in response to disease and chronic injury. FAPs are identified using cell surface markers that do not distinguish between quiescent FAPs and FAPs actively engaged in the regenerative process. We have shown previously that FAPs are derived from cells that express the transcription factor Osr1 during development. Here we show that adult FAPs express Osr1 at low levels and frequency, however upon acute injury FAPs reactivate Osr1 expression in the injured tissue. Osr1+ FAPs are enriched in proliferating and apoptotic cells demonstrating that Osr1 identifies activated FAPs. In vivo genetic lineage tracing shows that Osr1+ activated FAPs return to the resident FAP pool after regeneration as well as contribute to adipocytes after glycerol-induced fatty degeneration. In conclusion, reporter LacZ or eGFP-CreERt2 expression from the endogenous Osr1 locus serves as marker for FACS isolation and tamoxifen-induced manipulation of activated FAPs.

description: This study evaluated the chemical composition and biological potential of Lepidium sativum and Nigella sativa seeds from Biskra, Algeria, aiming to produce high-quality extracts for medicinal or food applications. Three extraction methods were applied using four solvents: hexane, chloroform, methanol, and water. The aqueous extract of L. sativum obtained by Soxhlet had the highest polyphenol content (252.08 µg GAE/mg). At the same time, ultrasound-assisted methanol extraction yielded the highest polyphenol content for N. sativa (180.6 µg GAE/mg). The highest flavonoid content was found in both species’ methanolic extracts obtained by ultrasound-assisted extraction. HPLC-DAD analysis of methanolic extracts identified seven phenolic compounds and six flavonoids in L. sativum, while N. sativa contained eleven phenolic acids and five flavonoids. Antioxidant activity, measured by DPPH, ABTS, FRAP, and Phenanthroline assays, demonstrated that aqueous and methanolic extracts had superior radical scavenging and reducing potential. Enzymatic activity assays showed that ultrasound extraction improved α-amylase inhibition in L. sativum, particularly with chloroform extracts (IC50: 5.40 µg/mL). N. sativa seeds demonstrated remarkable inhibitory activity with hexane extracts, achieving IC50 values below 6.26 µg/mL across all extraction methods.

description: Purpose To propose and validate an efficient method, based on a biophysically motivated signal model, for removing the orientation‐dependent part of R*2 using a single gradient‐recalled echo (GRE) measurement. Methods The proposed method utilized a temporal second‐order approximation of the hollow‐cylinder‐fiber model, in which the parameter describing the linear signal decay corresponded to the orientation‐independent part of R*2. The estimated parameters were compared to the classical, mono‐exponential decay model for R*2 in a sample of an ex vivo human optic chiasm (OC). The OC was measured at 16 distinct orientations relative to the external magnetic field using GRE at 7T. To show that the proposed signal model can remove the orientation dependence of R*2, it was compared to the established phenomenological method for separating R*2 into orientation‐dependent and ‐independent parts. Results Using the phenomenological method on the classical signal model, the well‐known separation of R*2 into orientation‐dependent and ‐independent parts was verified. For the proposed model, no significant orientation dependence in the linear signal decay parameter was observed. Conclusions Since the proposed second‐order model features orientation‐dependent and ‐independent components at distinct temporal orders, it can be used to remove the orientation dependence of R*2 using only a single GRE measurement.

El estudio durante el cual se generaron los datos publicados en el RDA-UNR (Cybulski & Bortolotti, 2022) se enfocó en el funcionamiento de las proteínas que actúan como receptores en la membrana de las bacterias Bacillus subtilis. Estos receptores se encargan de realizar la comunicación entre la célula y su entorno, en un proceso químico denominado “señalización”. Comprender cómo funcionan estos mecanismos es fundamental para desentrañar las complejidades de la comunicación celular, crucial para la vida de un organismo. Saber cómo los receptores de membrana se ven afectados por el entorno, puede aportar beneficios en diversas áreas del conocimiento, desde la industria hasta la medicina.

description: The speed of writing of state-of-the-art ferromagnetic memories is physically limited by an intrinsic gigahertz threshold. Recently, realization of memory devices based on antiferromagnets, in which spin directions periodically alternate from one atomic lattice site to the next has moved research in an alternative direction. We experimentally demonstrate at room temperature that the speed of reversible electrical writing in a memory device can be scaled up to terahertz using an antiferromagnet. A current-induced spin-torque mechanism is responsible for the switching in our memory devices throughout the 12-order-of-magnitude range of writing speeds from hertz to terahertz. Our work opens the path toward the development of memory-logic technology reaching the elusive terahertz band.

description: Many Indigenous Māori students journey to tertiary education in Aotearoa New Zealand, following diverse journeys with varying degrees of encouragement. How ever, on arrival, they can be faced with the prospect of living simultaneously in two worlds; te ao Māori (the Māori world), which privileges relational connection, and the world of formal education, which tends towards individualization. In this situation, rangatahi (Māori youth) deal with their new context by leveraging relational support, informal and formal. This article discusses the experiences of four rangatahi in one university. Their stories, drawn from oral encounters between rangatahi and the researchers as part of a video project, point to the signifcance of encouragement to attend tertiary study, unnecessary barriers to wellbeing at university, and the importance to flourishing of Māori spaces that support Māori identity within the university. Engaging with rangatahi voices ofers opportunities to understand aspects of university life that tell of strengths within Māori communities but also indicate the depth of relational change required to provide equity in tertiary educational experiences for Māori.

description: Although competing species are expected to exhibit compensatory dynamics (negative temporal covariation), empirical work has demonstrated that competitive communities often exhibit synchronous dynamics (positive temporal covariation). This has led to the suggestion that environmental forcing dominates species dynamics; however, synchronous and compensatory dynamics may appear at different length scales and/or at different times, making it challenging to identify their relative importance. We compiled 58 long-term datasets of zooplankton abundance in north-temperate and sub-tropical lakes and used wavelet analysis to quantify general patterns in the times and scales at which synchronous/compensatory dynamics dominated zooplankton communities in different regions and across the entire dataset. Synchronous dynamics were far more prevalent at all scales and times and were ubiquitous at the annual scale. Although we found compensatory dynamics in approximately 14% of all combinations of time period/scale/lake, there were no consistent scales or time periods during which compensatory dynamics were apparent across different regions. Our results suggest that the processes driving compensatory dynamics may be local in their extent, while those generating synchronous dynamics operate at much larger scales. This highlights an important gap in our understanding of the interaction between environmental and biotic forces that structure communities.

description: We investigate the magnetic and electronic properties of europium cyclooctatetraene (EuCot) nanowires by means of low-temperature X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS). The EuCot nanowires are prepared in situ on a graphene surface. STS measurements identify EuCot as an insulator with a minority band gap of 2.3 eV. By means of Eu M5,4 edge XMCD, orbital and spin magnetic moments of (−0.1 ± 0.3)μB and (+7.0 ± 0.6)μB, respectively, were determined. Field-dependent measurements of the XMCD signal at the Eu M5 edge show hysteresis for grazing X-ray incidence at 5 K, thus confirming EuCot as a ferromagnetic material. Our density functional theory calculations reproduce the experimentally observed minority band gap. Modeling the experimental results theoretically, we find that the effective interatomic exchange interaction between Eu atoms is on the order of millielectronvolts, that magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy is roughly half as big, and that dipolar energy is approximately ten times lower.
