description: Boundary, a plant fortifier composed of extracts of Sophora flavescens Aiton and brown algae, was tested for control of the leaf miner Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) on tomato (three trials) and of the red spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch on eggplant (one trial) and for side effects on the whitefly predator Macrolophus pygmaeus (Kambur) (two trials) on tomato and on the thrips predators Orius laevigatus (Fieber) and Amblyseius swirskii Athias-Henriot (two trials) on pepper, all in cold greenhouses in South Italy. Control rates for T. absoluta were moderate (40–70%) in the autumn crop but very high and comparable to those for emamectin benzoate in the spring crops (96–100%). Boundary compared well with abamectin against T. urticae, with near complete control. M. pygmaeus was moderately injured in late autumn, but not in early autumn. At the tested application rate and predator population density Boundary was safe for O. laevigatus and A. swirskii.

description: Quantity and quality of soil organic matter (SOM) affect physical, chemical, and biological soil properties, and are pivotal to productive and healthy grasslands. Thus, we analyzed the distribution of soil aggregates and assessed quality, quantity, and distribution of SOM in two unimproved and improved (two organic and two conventional) grasslands in subarctic Iceland, in Haplic and Histic Andosols. We also evaluated principal physicochemical and biological soil properties, which influence soil aggregation and SOM dynamics. Macroaggregates (>250 µm) in topsoils were most prominent in unimproved (62–77%) and organically (58–69%) managed sites, whereas 20–250 µm aggregates were the most prominent in conventionally managed sites (51–53%). Macroaggregate stability in topsoils, measured as mean weight diameter, was approximately twice as high in organically managed (12–20 mm) compared with the conventionally managed (5–8 mm) sites, possibly due to higher organic inputs (e.g., manure, compost, and cattle urine). In unimproved grasslands and one organic site, macroaggregates contributed between 40% and 70% of soil organic carbon (SOC) and nitrogen to bulk soil, whereas in high SOM concentration sites free particulate organic matter contributed up to 70% of the SOC and nitrogen to bulk soil. Aggregate hierarchy in Haplic Andosols was confirmed by different stabilizing mechanisms of micro- and macroaggregates, however, somewhat diminished by oxides (pyrophosphate-, oxalate-, and dithionite-extractable Fe, Al, and Mn) acting as binding agents for macroaggregates. In Histic Andosols, no aggregate hierarchy was observed. The higher macroaggregate stability in organic farming practice compared with conventional farming is of interest due to the importance of macroaggregates in protecting SOM and soils from erosion, which is a prerequisite for soil functions in grasslands that are envisaged for food production in the future.

description: Bioactivity-guided fractionation of methanol extract from the leaves of Psidium guajava L. (Myrtaceae) yielded a new benzophenone glycoside, Guajaphenone A (2) together with two known compounds, Garcimangosone D (1) and Guaijaverin (3). Their structures were elucidated by analysis of spectroscopic data including 1D and 2D NMR and electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). The isolated compounds were screened against standard strains of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria using broth dilution assay method, and the MIC values determined and compared with reference antibiotic ceftriaxone. They were found to have significant antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli and  Staphylococcus aureus with all of them showing better activities against S. aureus, but displaying weaker activities, in comparison to ceftriaxone. However, despite reduced effect of these compounds against the organisms, this work opens the perspective to use these molecules as ‘leads’ for the design of novel and selective drug candidates for some tropical infectious diseases.

description: This study examines the impact of trade liberalization on performance in the Nigerian economy, with special reference to agricultural and manufacturing sectors. Simultaneous models were developed to capture the joint effects of trade liberalization on the two sectors. The Generalized Method of Moment technique was used to estimate the role of trade liberalization on the performance of the selected sectors. The study shows a significant positive impact of trade liberalization on the output of agricultural sector while a negative but significant relationship exists between measures of trade liberalization and manufacturing output in Nigeria. The study also reveals that exchange rate exerts a positive but insignificant impact on agricultural output while the effect of inflation on agricultural output is positive and significant within the study period. Unlike the agricultural output, both exchange rate and inflation have negative impact on manufacturing sector’s output. Moreover, finding from the study also confirmed the possibility of substantial economic linkage between the two sectors, as their magnitudes were positive and significant which suggests some significant level of interdependence between them in the Nigerian economy. The study concludes that government should embark on programmes that promote local production to fully harness the opportunity presents by trade liberalization.

description: Capsule Urbanization effects in an Eastern European city depend on feeding and breeding traits of bird communities with stronger negative effects on more specialized traits.Aims To assess how urbanization affects feeding and breeding traits of bird communities in Cluj (Romania).Methods Based on a stratified random sampling we selected 61 study squares of 200 × 200 m for bird surveys representing the following habitats: suburban, residential and apartment complex (representing an increasing urbanization gradient). We carried out bird censuses in both breeding and wintering seasons. The observed bird species were classified according to their feeding guilds and nesting sites.Results Insectivorous and open-cup nesting species were most abundant in suburban areas. Omnivorous species richness was not related to urbanization gradient. Species showed similar patterns of distribution during breeding and winter with respect to feeding habits. However, in case of nesting preferences, species richness of cavity nesters increased with urbanization gradient in winter, but decreased in the breeding season.Conclusions Food and nesting site availability are key drivers in limiting more specialist species in utilizing city centres. Future studies should assess the effect of how green areas can counteract such negative effects of increasing urbanization in the context of such specialist trait limitations.

description: In this article we describe the current status and conservation of interior (potamodromous) Redband Trout Oncorhynchus mykiss sspp. throughout its range in the western United States using extant data and expert opinion provided by fish managers. Redband Trout historically occupied 60,295 km of stream habitat and 152 natural lakes. Currently, Redband Trout occupy 25,417 km of stream habitat (42% of their historical range) and 124 lakes or reservoirs. Nonhybridized populations are assumed to occupy 11,695 km (46%) of currently occupied streams; however, fish from only 4,473 km (18%) have been genetically tested. Approximately 47% of the streams occupied by Redband Trout occur on private land, 45% on government lands, and 8% in protected areas. A total of 210 Redband Trout populations, occupying 15,252 km of stream habitat (60% of the current distribution) and 95,158 ha of lake habitat (52%), are being managed as “conservation populations.” Most conservation populations have been designated as weakly to strongly connected metapopulations (125; 60%) and occupy much more stream length (14,112 km; 93%) than isolated conservation populations (1,141 km; 7%). The primary threats to Redband Trout include invasive species, habitat degradation and fragmentation, and climate change. Although the historical distribution of interior Redband Trout has declined dramatically, we conclude that the species is not currently at imminent risk of extinction because it is still widely distributed with many populations isolated by physical barriers and active conservation efforts are occurring for many populations. However, the hybridization status of many populations has not been well quantified, and introgression may be more prevalent than documented here. We recommend (1) collecting additional genetic data and estimating distribution and abundance by means of a more rigorous spatial sampling design to reduce uncertainties, (2) collecting additional information to assess and predict the impacts of climate on populations, and (3) continuing to use this database to evaluate the status of Redband Trout and inform conservation efforts through time.Received March 21, 2014; accepted August 1, 2014

description: We examined the influence of financial system activities on tax revenue collection in Nigeria for the period of 1981-2014. After given consideration for the period of banking crisis with the employment of ARDL/ Bound test, causality test, variance decomposition and impulse response techniques, our analysis showed that financial system activities influence tax revenue collection in Nigeria. We showed that financial system variables such as stock market development, banking development, banking crisis and financial inclusion variables play a pivotal role in the tax revenue collection. The impulse response, causality test and variance decomposition results corroborate our regression results. Therefore, we conclude that financial system should be used efficiently by government to improve the level of revenue collection and hence, economic growth.

description: Les politiques de prix sont connues pour donner un signal efficace aux consommateurs. Elles peuvent donc constituer un outil privilégié pour réorienter les choix alimentaires afin d’améliorer la durabilité de l’alimentation. Nos travaux utilisent des approches issues de la micro‑économétrie de la consommation pour quantifier les effets de politiques fiscales qui inciteraient les consommateurs à adopter un comportement plus durable lors de leurs achats alimentaires. Ils visent à prendre en compte simultanément trois piliers de la durabilité : l’environnement, la santé via la nutrition et la dimension sociale via les inégalités. Or, cette dernière dimension, et notamment l’angle de la réduction des inégalités sociales, est un des piliers de la durabilité souvent négligé dans les travaux des économistes. Nous étudions ici les effets distributionnels de l’incorporation du coût carbone dans l’alimentation au domicile.

description: Increasing interest in the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 has led to the consideration of using TiO2 nanoparticles in renewable energy generation. In order to better understand the electronic properties of nanoscale TiO2 structures, it is important to understand fundamental components that serve as synthesis precursors of TiO2 nanomaterials. Knowing the properties of basic building blocks of TiO2 materials, such as titanium hydroxide, Ti(OH)4, helps in a better understanding of the properties of larger scale structures. Titanium hydroxide is simulated in an explicit aqueous environment by density functional theory with hybrid functionals to model realistic conditions and to gain insight on mechanisms of how the charge carriers relax and recombine. Computed on-the-fly non-adiabatic couplings are determined from the first principles molecular dynamics calculations and allow the application of reduced density matrix formalism to calculate electron dynamics and dissipation times. An ultrafast charge transfer between ligand and metal is facilitated by energy dissipation via non-radiative relaxation occurring within a stepwise cascade thermalisation mechanism. The results show the possibility for design of promising and efficient materials for solar driven water splitting reactions.

description: District magnitude is a central aspect of the institutional context in PR elections, and it influences parties’ and voters’ strategies. The incentives for strategic behaviour are stronger in smaller districts, as only large parties are likely to be viable. This article investigates how much the vote is affected by this characteristic of the electoral context, focusing on the 2005 and 2009 Portuguese elections. Portugal is one of the countries with the largest degree of variation in district magnitude and represents thus an ideal case for analysing district magnitude effects. Relying on data from the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems, this study shows a strong mechanical effect of district magnitude and a limited psychological effect.

Also shown for the first time (table 5D), by value of sales classes, are average per farm operator family of realized net income, income from off-farm sources and the total income from both sources combined. The estimates of income of farm operators from farming operations by value of sales classes are consistent with, and are breakdowns of, the farm income estimates regularly published in the July issue of the Farm Income Situation. Income from "off-farm" sources includes all income received by farm operators and family members from sources other than the farm operated.

description: Contrasting “the pure people” with “the corrupt elite” is a prominent rhetorical figure of populist radical right parties and their proponents. However, scholars rarely consider political corruption as an explanatory factor for the electoral success of this party family. This study investigates the role of individual corruption experience in dealing with public officials for radical right party support in 12 European countries. As central argument, we contend that the relationship between corruption experience and voting radical right is essentially mediated by citizens' trust in public officials and political institutions. The empirical results support this argument, showing that exposure to corruption diminishes political trust which in turn leads to a higher propensity to vote for a radical right party. Additionally, we provide insight about country-specific factors that moderate the individual-level relationships. We find that the eroding effect of corruption experience on trust in public officials is less severe in contexts of low institutional quality. Moreover, radical right parties are particularly able to mobilize support from distrusting voters when in opposition.

description: The coordination of bases to chlorophyll magnesium modifies spectroscopic properties in solution as well as in situ in reaction centres. We evaluate the free energies of complexation of one or two pyridine, 1-propanol, diethyl ether or water solvent molecules at 298 and 150 K to rationalise observed phenomena. Various a priori dispersion-corrected density functional theory calculations are performed as well as second-order Møller–Plesset calculations, focusing on the effects of dispersion modifying the intermolecular interactions, of dispersion modifying solvation energies, of entropy, and of basis-set superposition error. A process of particular interest is magnesium complexation in ether at low temperature that is often exploited to assign the Q-band visible absorption spectrum of chlorophyll. Recently, we demonstrated that trace water interferes with this process, but the nature of the resulting complex could not be uniquely determined; here, it is identified as ether.Chlorophyll-a.H2O, consistent with interpretations based on our authoritative 2013 assignment.

description: Cognitive training has recently become a primary topic of interest in cognitive psychology. The discovery of a strong relationship between WM and Gf gave rise to new cognitive training methods (like dual n-back task), which challenged traditional views of intelligence as a fixed trait in healthy adults. Previous research has shown mixed results in the ability of cognitive training to improve fluid intelligence. Presented dissertation aims to first replicate such effects in a study with (N=142) participants, and then to explore the mediating role of personality systems interaction (PSI) personality factors. In addition, univariate and bivariate analyses of two n-back related, self-report questionnaires (N=258 and N=97) are presented. Experimental results showed improvements in one out of two IQ test scores, which reflects the ambivalent nature of previous research in this field. After examining the results in context of PSI theory, it was found that different training methods yielded different IQ gains in participants, depending on their personality styles. In addition, these correlations suggested a meaningful pattern, indicating that PSI theory may be able to account for the different outcomes of cognitive training studies. Analysis of self-report questionnaires suggests, among other things, that the use of mental strategies during n-back training does not influence prospective IQ gains, and neither does the motivation to participate in n-back study. Qualitative reports complement these findings by offering unique insights into the subjective experiences of people who trained n-back. The presented findings may facilitate tailor-made cognitive training interventions in the future, and can contribute to explaining the mechanisms underlying the far-transfer of working memory training to fluid intelligence.

description: In this study, poly(ethylene glycol dimethacrylate-N-methacryloyl-l-tryptophan methyl ester) [poly(EGDMA-MATrp)] beads (average diameter = 106–300 µm), which were synthesized by co-polymerizing of N-methacryloyl-l-tryptophan methyl ester (MATrp) with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), were used for diethyl phthalate (DEP) adsorption. The various factors affecting the adsorption of DEP from aqueous solutions such as pH, initial concentration, contact time and temperature were analysed. Adsorption behaviour of DEP on the poly(EGDMA-MATrp) beads was investigated by varying pH values of solution, contact time, initial concentration and temperature. An optimum adsorption capacity of 590.7 mg/g for DEP was obtained at 25 °C. The present adsorption process obeyed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. All the isotherm data can be fitted with the Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherm models. Thermodynamic parameters ΔH = 7.745 kJ/mol, ΔS = 81.92 J/K/mol and ΔG = −16.69 kJ/mol to −18.31 kJ/mol with the rise in temperature from 25 °C to 45 °C indicated that the adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous.

description: Research is long and life is short. The emergence of generative AI (GAI) tools promises to help organise and synthesise the mountains of information with which researchers are faced. These tools claim to scan databases, extract relevant research, summarise articles and polish prose with the press of a button. It sounds incredible (and maybe a little unsettling). This post, written by Justin Park, looks at some popular tools and evaluate their outputs. A disclaimer: everything in this post is derived from the author’s own experience and use of these tools as of July 2023. The capabilities of these tools will change…and not always for the better. You may want to familiarise yourself with a broad overview of how these tools work, where they get their data and some of the ethical issues as well as some info on prompt engineering. And remember, graduate researchers are responsible for understanding the University’s Academic Integrity guidelines around generative AI tools.
metabolic

description: Metabolic pathways are fundamental maps in biochemistry that detail how molecules are transformed through various reactions. Metabolomics refers to the large-scale study of small molecules. High-throughput, untargeted, mass spectrometry-based metabolomics experiments typically depend on libraries for structural annotation, which is necessary for pathway analysis. However, only a sma fraction of spectra can be matched to know structures in these libraries and only a portion of annotated metabolites can be associated with specific pathways, considering that numerous pathways are yet to be discovered. The complexity of metabolic pathways, where a single compound can play a part in multiple pathways, poses an additional challenge. This study introduces a different concept: mass spectra distribution, which is the empirical distribution of the intensity times their assocated m/z values. Analysis of solarization, COVID-19, and mouse brain datasets shows that by estimating the differences of the point estimations of these.distributions, it becomes possible.to.infer the metabolic directions and magnitutes without requiring knowledge of the exact chemical structures of these compounds and their related pathways. The overall.metabolic map, named as vectome, has the potential to bypass current bottleneck and provide fresh insights into metabolomics studies. This brief report thus provides a mathematical framing for a classic biology concept.
