description: The long-lived $^{60}$Fe (with a half-life of 2.62 Myr) is a crucial diagnostic of active nucleosynthesis in the Milky Way galaxy and in supernovae near the solar system. The neutron-capture reaction $^{59}$Fe(n,$γ$)$^{60}$Fe on $^{59}$Fe (half-life = 44.5 days) is the key reaction for the production of $^{60}$Fe in massive stars. This reaction cross section has been previously constrained by the Coulomb dissociation experiment, which offered partial constraint on the $E$1 $γ$-ray strength function but a negligible constraint on the $M$1 and $E$2 components. In this work, for the first time, we use the surrogate ratio method to experimentally determine the $^{59}$Fe(n,$γ$)$^{60}$Fe cross sections in which all the components are included. We derived a Maxwellian-averaged cross section of 27.5 $\pm$ 3.5 mb at $kT$= 30 keV and 13.4 $\pm$ 1.7 mb at $kT$= 90 keV, roughly 10 - 20% higher than previous estimates. We analyzed the impact of our new reaction rates in nucleosynthesis models of massive stars and found that uncertainties in the production of $^{60}$Fe from the $^{59}$Fe(n,$γ$)$^{60}$Fe rate are at most of 25%. We conclude that stellar physics uncertainties now play a major role in the accurate evaluation of the stellar production of $^{60}$Fe.

description: Plant growth on mine wastes is restricted by the lack of water, nutrients, phytotoxic responses and the absence of a seedbank. In a mesocosm study, we addressed the establishment of vegetation on metalliferous mine wastes from two seed mixtures. Besides the composition of the vegetation and the increase in plant cover and biomass over time, we studied concentrations of heavy metals in the shoot and analyzed the quantity of throughflow, its pH and EC to follow pollutant discharge. We hypothesized that the types of mine wastes and sown grasslands will affect species composition and the formation of a protective plant cover. Our platform was well-suited to study build-up and succession of a vegetation layer and its potential to stabilize mine wastes. However, the establishing community was less diverse than expected. The dilution of wastes increased species number and biomass, and we found a reduction of material discharge with increasing vegetation cover. Over time, drainage was reduced, while pH of the throughflow did not change. However, it was higher under the addition of greywater. Interestingly, the use of greywater led to a higher biomass in one mixture and slight changes in the chemistry of the throughflow and the plant matter. Here, we present an integrative method to test the greening potentials of mine wastes. In the mesocosm approach different mine wastes, additives and seed mixtures can be screened and the potential of the establishing vegetation to reduce drainage and runoff may be addressed at the same time. Furthermore, analyses of pollutants in plants, soil substrates and drainage waters serve to study the phytoextraction and phytostabilization potentials of the established vegetation and their ecological services.

description: Natural amino acids (NAA) have been rarely investigated as chelators, despite their ability to chelate heavy metals (HMs). In the present research, the effects of extracted natural amino acids, as a natural and environmentally friendly chelate agent and the inoculation of Pseudomonas fluorescens (PF) and Micrococcus yunnanensis (MY) bacteria were investigated on some responses of quinoa in a soil polluted with Pb, Ni, Cd, and Zn. Inoculation of PGPR bacteria enhanced plant growth and phytoremediation efficiency. Pb and Cd were higher in quinoa roots, while Ni and Zn were higher in the shoots. The highest efficiencies were observed with NAA treatment and simultaneous inoculation of PF and MY bacteria for Ni, Cd, Pb, and Zn. The highest values of phytoremediation efficiency and uptake efficiency of Ni, Cd, Pb, and Zn were 21.28, 19.11, 14.96 and 18.99 μg g−1, and 31.52, 60.78, 51.89, and 25.33 μg g−1, respectively. Results of present study well demonstrated NAA extracted from blood powder acted as strong chelate agent due to their diversity in size, solubilizing ability, abundant functional groups, and potential in the formation of stable complexes with Ni, Cd, Pb, and Zn, increasing metal availability in soil and improving phytoremediation efficiency in quinoa. This study focused on an underexplored topic, the potential of natural amino acids (NAA) and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) to enhance phytoremediation efficiency of quinoa in a multi-metal contaminated soil with the waste recycling approach. Despite their chelating abilities, NAA have been rarely studied in this context. In the present study, the effects of extracted NAA, acting as environmentally friendly chelating agents, and the inoculation of Pseudomonas fluorescens (PF) and Micrococcus yunnanensis (MY) bacteria were examined on the responses of quinoa in a soil contaminated with Pb, Ni, Cd, and Zn. Three agricultural wastes were used to prepare natural amino acids. Natural amino acids caused satisfactory results in remediating HMs-polluted soil and amino acid extracted from blood powder gave the best results. Phytoremediation efficiency depends strongly on the type of metal. Pseudomonas fluorescens and Micrococcus yunnanensis improved remediation performance.

description: Visual Emotion Analysis (VEA) aims at finding out how people feel emotionally towards different visual stimuli, which has attracted great attention recently with the prevalence of sharing images on social networks. Since human emotion involves a highly complex and abstract cognitive process, it is difficult to infer visual emotions directly from holistic or regional features in affective images. It has been demonstrated in psychology that visual emotions are evoked by the interactions between objects as well as the interactions between objects and scenes within an image. Inspired by this, we propose a novel Scene-Object interreLated Visual Emotion Reasoning network (SOLVER) to predict emotions from images. To mine the emotional relationships between distinct objects, we first build up an Emotion Graph based on semantic concepts and visual features. Then, we conduct reasoning on the Emotion Graph using Graph Convolutional Network (GCN), yielding emotion-enhanced object features. We also design a Scene-Object Fusion Module to integrate scenes and objects, which exploits scene features to guide the fusion process of object features with the proposed scene-based attention mechanism. Extensive experiments and comparisons are conducted on eight public visual emotion datasets, and the results demonstrate that the proposed SOLVER consistently outperforms the state-of-the-art methods by a large margin. Ablation studies verify the effectiveness of our method and visualizations prove its interpretability, which also bring new insight to explore the mysteries in VEA. Notably, we further discuss SOLVER on three other potential datasets with extended experiments, where we validate the robustness of our method and notice some limitations of it.

description: From an experimental point of view, room temperature ferroelectricity in BiFeO3 is raising many questions. Electric measurements made a long time ago on solid-solutions of BiFeO3 with Pb(Ti,Zr)O3 indicate that a spontaneous electric polarization exists in BiFeO3 below the Curie temperature TC=1143K. Yet in most reported works, the synthesised samples are too conductive at room temperature to get a clear polarization loop in the bulk without any effects of extrinsic physical or chemical parameters. Surprisingly, up to now there has been no report of a P(E) (polarization versus electric field) loop at room temperature on single crystals of BiFeO3. We describe here our procedure to synthesize ceramics and to grow good quality sizeable single crystals by a flux method. We demonstrate that BiFeO3 is indeed ferroelectric at room-temperature through evidence by Piezoresponse Force Microscopy and P(E) loops. The polarization is found to be large, around 60 microC/cm2, a value that has only been reached in thin films. Magnetic measurements using a SQUID magnetometer and Mossbauer spectroscopy are also presented. The latter confirms the results of NMR measurements concerning the anisotropy of the hyperfine field attributed to the magnetic cycloidal structure.

description: Crude oil spills imperil aquatic ecosystems globally, prompting innovative solutions such as microalgae-based bioremediation. This study explores the potential of Chlorella vulgaris and Scenedesmus quadricauda, for crude oil spill phycoremediation under mixotrophic conditions and varying crude oil concentrations (0.5–2%). C. vulgaris demonstrated notable resilience, thriving up to 1% crude oil exposure, while S. quadricauda adapted to lower concentrations. Optimal growth for both was observed at 0.5% exposure. Chlorophyll a content in C. vulgaris increases at 0.5% exposure but declines above 1%, while a decline was noticeable in chlorophyll b in treatment groups above 1%. Carotenoid levels varied, displaying the highest levels at higher concentrations above 1.5%. Similarly, S. quadricauda showed increased chlorophyll a content at 0.5% exposure, with stable carotenoid levels and a decline in chlorophyll b content at higher concentrations. GC/MS analyses indicated C. vulgaris efficiently degraded aliphatic compounds like decane and tridecane, surpassing S. quadricauda in degrading both aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. Growth kinetics was best represented by the modified Gompertz and logistic models. These findings highlight the species-specific adaptability and optimal concentration for microalgae to degrade crude oil effectively, advancing phycoremediation processes and strategies critical for environmental restoration. This study marks the first exploration of both Chlorella vulgaris and the previously unexplored Scenedesmus quadricauda for crude oil phycoremediation potential under mixotrophic conditions. Additionally, it pioneers the modeling and study of algae growth kinetics in response to crude oil exposure. Notably, this research demonstrated the adaptability and efficiency of C. vulgaris in degrading crude oil components under mixotrophic conditions up to a level of 1%, while S. quadricauda showed similar capabilities at a concentration of 0.5%.

description: We discuss on the pairing mechanism of fermions with mismatch in their fermi momenta due to a mass asymmetry. Using a variational ansatz for the ground state we also discuss the BCS -BEC crossover of this system. It is shown that the breached pairing solution with a single fermi surface is stable in the BEC regime. We also include the temperatures effect on the fermion pairing within an approximation that is valid for temperatures much below the critical temperature.

description: Urease-producing bacteria (UPB) are widely present in soil and play an important role in soil ecosystems. In this study, 65 UPB strains were isolated from cadmium (Cd)-polluted soil around a lead-zinc mine in Yunnan Province, China. The Cd tolerance, removal of Cd from aqueous solution, production of indoleacetic acid (IAA) and plant growth-promoting effects of these materials were investigated. The results indicate that among the 65 UPB strains, four strains with IAA-producing ability were screened and identified as Bacillus thuringiensis W6-11, B. cereus C7-4, Serratia marcescens W11-10, and S. marcescens C5-6. Among the four strains, B. cereus C7-4 had the highest Cd tolerance, median effect concentration (EC50) of 59.94 mg/L. Under Cd 5 mg/L, S. marcescens C5-6 had the highest Cd removal from aqueous solution, up to 69.83%. Under Cd 25 mg/kg, inoculation with B. cereus C7-4 significantly promoted maize growth in a sand pot by increasing the root volume, root surface area, and number of root branches by 22%, 29%, and 20%, respectively, and plant height and biomass by 16% and 36%, respectively, and significantly increasing Cd uptake in the maize roots. Therefore, UPB is a potential resource for enhancing plant adaptability to Cd stress in plants with Cd-polluted habitats. This study utilized urease-producing bacteria screened from the soil of lead zinc mining areas in Yunnan, China as the research object, enriching the microbial resources in Yunnan. In addition, this article verified the IAA production ability and cadmium removal ability of urease-producing bacteria, and screened out bifunctional urease-producing bacteria that have potential in cadmium pollution control and plant growth promotion.

description: Occupancy of new habitats through dispersion is a central process in nature. In particular, long range dispersal is involved in the spread of species and epidemics, although it has not been previously related with cancer invasion, a process that involves spread to new tissues. We show that the early spread of cancer cells is similar to the species individuals spread and that both processes are represented by a common spatio-temporal signature, characterized by a particular fractal geometry of the boundaries of patches generated, and a power law-scaled, disrupted patch size distribution. We show that both properties are a direct result of long-distance dispersal, and that they reflect homologous ecological processes of population self-organization. Our results are significant for processes involving long-range dispersal like biological invasions, epidemics and cancer metastasis.

description: We revisit the associating lattice gas~(ALG) introduced by Henriques \textit{et al.} [PRE 71, 031504 (2005)] in its symmetric version. In this model, defined on the triangular lattice, interaction between molecules occupying nearest-neighbor sites depends on their relative orientation, mimicking the formation of hydrogen bonds in network-forming fluids. Although all previous studies of this model agree that it has a disordered fluid (DF), a low-density liquid (LDL) and a high-density liquid (HDL) phase, quite different forms have been reported for its phase diagram. Here, we present a thorough investigation of its phase behavior using both transfer matrix calculations and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations, along with finite-size scaling extrapolations. Results in striking agreement are found using these methods. The critical point associated with the DF-HDL transition at full occupancy, dentified by Furlan and coworkers [Phys.~Rev.~E~{\bf 100}, 022109 (2019)] is shown to be one terminus of a {\it critical line} separating these phases. In opposition to previous simulation studies, we find that the transition between the DF and LDL phases is always discontinuous, similar to the LDL-HDL transition. The associated coexistence lines meet at the point where the DF-HDL critical line ends, making it critical-end-point. Overall, the form of the phase diagram observed in our simulations is very similar to that found in the exact solution of the model on a Husimi lattice. Our results confirm that, despite the existence of some waterlike anomalies in this model, it is unable to reproduce key features of the phase behavior of liquid water.

description: Despite its benefits for children's skill development and parent-child bonding, many parents do not often engage in interactive storytelling by having story-related dialogues with their child due to limited availability or challenges in coming up with appropriate questions. While recent advances made AI generation of questions from stories possible, the fully-automated approach excludes parent involvement, disregards educational goals, and underoptimizes for child engagement. Informed by need-finding interviews and participatory design (PD) results, we developed StoryBuddy, an AI-enabled system for parents to create interactive storytelling experiences. StoryBuddy's design highlighted the need for accommodating dynamic user needs between the desire for parent involvement and parent-child bonding and the goal of minimizing parent intervention when busy. The PD revealed varied assessment and educational goals of parents, which StoryBuddy addressed by supporting configuring question types and tracking child progress. A user study validated StoryBuddy's usability and suggested design insights for future parent-AI collaboration systems.

description: In this paper we present SA-CNN, a hierarchical and lightweight self-attention based encoding and decoding architecture for representation learning of point cloud data. The proposed SA-CNN introduces convolution and transposed convolution stacks to capture and generate contextual information among unordered 3D points. Following conventional hierarchical pipeline, the encoding process extracts feature in local-to-global manner, while the decoding process generates feature and point cloud in coarse-to-fine, multi-resolution stages. We demonstrate that SA-CNN is capable of a wide range of applications, namely classification, part segmentation, reconstruction, shape retrieval, and unsupervised classification. While achieving the state-of-the-art or comparable performance in the benchmarks, SA-CNN maintains its model complexity several order of magnitude lower than the others. In term of qualitative results, we visualize the multi-stage point cloud reconstructions and latent walks on rigid objects as well as deformable non-rigid human and robot models.

description: We present an improved lattice Boltzmann model for high-speed compressible flows. The model is composed of a discrete-velocity model by Kataoka and Tsutahara [Phys. Rev. E \textbf{69}, 056702 (2004)] and an appropriate finite-difference scheme combined with an additional dissipation term. With the dissipation term parameters in the model can be flexibly chosen so that the von Neumann stability condition is satisfied. The influence of the various model parameters on the numerical stability is analyzed and some reference values of parameter are suggested. The new scheme works for both subsonic and supersonic flows with a Mach number up to 30 (or higher), which is validated by well-known benchmark tests. Simulations on Riemann problems with very high ratios ($1000:1$) of pressure and density also show good accuracy and stability. Successful recovering of regular and double Mach shock reflections shows the potential application of the lattice Boltzmann model to fluid systems where non-equilibrium processes are intrinsic. The new scheme for stability can be easily extended to other lattice Boltzmann models.

description: Distributed system as e.g. artificial immune systems, complex adaptive systems, or multi-agent systems are widely used in Computer Science, e.g. for network security, optimisations, or simulations. In these systems, small entities move through the network and perform certain tasks. At some time, the entities move to another place and require therefore information where to move is most profitable. Common used systems do not provide any information or use a centralised approach where a center delegates the entities. This article discusses whether small information about the neighbours enhances the performance of the overall system or not. Therefore, two information-protocols are introduced and analysed. In addition, the protocols are implemented and tested using the artificial immune system SANA that protects a network against intrusions.

description: We show that the fluctuations of the partial current in two dimensional diffusive systems are dominated by vortices leading to a different scaling from the one predicted by the hydrodynamic large deviation theory. This is supported by exact computations of the variance of partial current fluctuations for the symmetric simple exclusion process on general graphs. On a two-dimensional torus, our exact expressions are compared to the results of numerical simulations. They confirm the logarithmic dependence on the system size of the fluctuations of the partialflux. The impact of the vortices on the validity of the fluctuation relation for partial currents is also discussed.

description: A natural deep eutectic solvent-based ultrasound-assisted simultaneous extraction (NADES-UAE) of camptothecin (CPT) and 10-hydroxycamptothecin (10-HCPT) was established. The 1.31 mg of CPT and 1.66 mg of 10-HCPT were obtained from each gram of the fruit powder of Camptotheca acuminata under the optimum conditions with a water content of 20%, a liquid-solid ratio of 12 mL/g and an ultrasound time of 20 min. The recovery efficiencies of CPT and 10-HCPT after AB-8 resin enrichment were 70.5% and 74.8%, respectively. The stronger interaction between NADES3 which was screened from 12 kinds of NADES and target components compared with methanol or water was demonstrated using molecular dynamics simulation. Moreover, the recovered NADES3 could be reused at least 4 times. The present research provided an efficient, environment-friendly, and sustainable method for extracting and recovering CPT and 10-HCPT from the fruits of C. acuminata.

Two-loop neutrino masses with large R-parity violating interactions in supersymmetry

description: We attempt to reconcile large trilinear R-parity violating interactions in a supersymmetric (SUSY) theory with the observed pattern of neutrino masses and mixing. We show that, with a restricted number of such interaction terms with the $λ'$-type couplings in the range (0.1-1.0), it is possible to forbid one-loop contributions to the neutrino mass matrix. This is illustrated with the help of a `working example' where an econnomic choice of SUSY parameters is made, with three non-vanishing and `large' R-parity violating terms in the superpotential. The two-loop contributions in such a case can not only generate the masses in the requisite order but can also lead us to specific allowed regions of the parameter space.

Cola e Tesoura: Reestruturando os quadrinhos de Hugo Pratt para edições de bolso

Publisher: name: Labfront/UEMG
Year: 2023

description: No ano de 1986, as Éditions J’ai lu lançam a coleção J’ai lu BD, destinada a adaptar quadrinhos que tinham sucesso na crítica especializada para o formato bolso. Essa não era a primeira experiência de adaptação para o formato “bolso” na Europa, e nem sequer na França. No entanto, o projeto gráfico da nova coleção propunha uma remixagem dos quadros, cortando, reposicionando, modificando e até redesenhando quadros, formatando assim novas páginas. Com média de vendas de 40.000 unidades para cada título lançado, autores e especialistas se dividiam em discussões sobre chegar em novos públicos e a pertinência de ver a obra alterada (CIMENT, 1987). O quadrinho, uma mídia muito baseada na construção visual, costumam se valer de formatos e disposições materiais específicas nas suas construções narrativas. A análise de algumas obras do quadrinista italiano Hugo Pratt, no formato livro de bolso, auxiliam a compreensão da importância das considerações sobre materialidade, além de apontar para uma diversidade de projetos de leitura e aspectos do campo de edições.

description: The study investigates the antibacterial potential of hydroalcoholic extracts from Rosmarinus officinalis and Zataria multiflora, combined with ciprofloxacin, against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Initial screening showed promising results, leading to further exploration of the synergistic effect of the extracts and ciprofloxacin. The combination of the two extracts had an additive effect, while the combination of each extract with ciprofloxacin resulted in partial synergism. The most significant synergistic effect was observed against MRSA 9, with a 3200-fold reduction in the MIC value of ciprofloxacin. The similar inhibitory concentration of the extracts for all MRSA strains suggests these non-antibiotic agents have a broad spectrum of activity against MRSA. This offers a promising avenue for developing new therapeutic approaches to tackle drug-resistant bacterial infections. The results highlight the potential of combining R. officinalis and Z. multiflora extracts with ciprofloxacin to enhance antibacterial efficacy against MRSA strains.

description: We consider an asexual population evolving on rugged fitness landscapes which are defined on the multi-dimensional genotypic space and have many local optima. We track the most populated genotype as it changes when the population jumps from a fitness peak to a better one during the process of adaptation. This is done using the dynamics of the shell model which is a simplified version of the quasispecies model for infinite populations and standard Wright-Fisher dynamics for large finite populations. We show that the population fraction of a genotype obtained within the quasispecies model and the shell model match for fit genotypes and at short times, but the dynamics of the two models are identical for questions related to the most populated genotype. We calculate exactly several properties of the jumps in infinite populations some of which were obtained numerically in previous works. We also present our preliminary simulation results for finite populations. In particular, we measure the jump distribution in time and find that it decays as $t^{-2}$ as in the quasispecies problem.

description: O ensaio busca analisar, a partir dos primórdios da videoarte em idos de 1970, a constituição das imagens geradas por CCTV - Closed-Circuit Television (CFTV-Circuito Fechado de Televisão) como constituintes das obras Live-Taped Video Corridor (1970) e Four Corner Piece (1971) de Bruce Nauman, bem como na videoinstalação Observation of observation: indeterminacy (1973) de Peter Weibel. Busca-se pensar o processo da formação da imagem por esses aparelhos e suas implicações como dispositivos de bloqueio real/virtual da insegurança e do medo, advindos de uma indústria consolidada a qual supomos existir, construídos social e culturalmente. Em diálogo com os artistas, o ensaio retoma um texto de Rosalind Krauss sobre video e narcisismo (1976) e os conceitos de sociedade disciplinar de Michel Foucault e sociedade de controle de Gilles Deleuze, para pensar nesse aparato gerador de imagens no campo da arte, que se diferencia de sua habitual utilização nos espaços públicos e privados como ferramenta de proteção e segurança.
