description: Nitrogen fertilization in agriculture has serious environmental consequences, including production of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O), pollution of groundwater with nitrate (NO3-), and river eutrophication. Nitrogen use efficiency can be increased by amending fertilizers with inhibitors to slow microbial nitrification processes, which transform ammonia to NO3-. Unfortunately, commercial inhibitors have failed to perform reliably across various agroecosystems for reasons not well understood. Using a combination of bacterial studies and soil incubations, we demonstrate here that 4-methyl-1-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole (MPT) exhibits superior nitrification inhibitory properties. Unlike the commercial reversible inhibitors, MPT acts as a mechanistic, irreversible inhibitor of the key enzyme ammonia monooxygenase, enabling effective retention of ammonium (NH4+) and suppression of NO3- and N2O production over 21 days in several agricultural soils with pH values ranging from 4.7 to 7.5. A bacterial viability stain and a suite of freshwater and terrestrial ecotoxicity tests did not indicate any acute or chronic toxicity. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) analysis revealed an enhanced inhibitory effect of MPT on both ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and archaea. Thus, MPT outperforms currently available nitrification inhibitors and has great potential for broad application in various agricultural settings.

description: Objective: We wanted to exam the steady-state energy balance by using high-fat diet-induced obese (DIO) rats and mice as models for positive energy balance, and gastric bypassed (GB) rats and gene knockout of muscarinic acetylcholine M3 receptor (M3KO) mice as models for negative energy balance. Methods: One hundred and thirty-two rats and mice were used. Energy balance was measured by a comprehensive laboratory animal monitoring system. Gene expression was analysed by in situ hybridisation in M3KO mice. Results: DIO rats reached the plateau of body weight 28 weeks after starting high-fat diet (25% heavier than controls), whereas DIO mice reached the plateau after 6 weeks (23% heavier than controls). At the plateau, DIO rats had higher calorie intake during the light phase but not during the dark phase, while mice had the same calorie intake per day as controls. DIO rats and mice had lower energy expenditure (EE) and respiratory exchange ratio (RER) than controls. GB-rats reached the plateau (15% weight loss) 2 weeks after surgery and had the same calorie intake as sham-operated controls. EE, but not RER, was higher in GB rats than controls during the dark phase. The lean M3KO mice (25% lighter than wild-type (WT) mice at the plateau between 6 and 15 months of age) had the same calorie intake but higher EE, RER and hypothalamic mRNA expression of NPY, AgRP and leptin receptor than WT mice. Conclusion: When body weight gain or loss reached a plateau, the steady-state energy balance was mainly maintained by EE and/or RER rather than calorie intake.

description: Bacterial diseases of Cymbidium orchids continue to threaten the floriculture industry. Bacterial isolates were isolated and cultured from Cymbidium plants exhibiting disease symptoms: black lesions with or without water-soaking on leaves. To identify the bacterial isolates, we performed polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification using species-specific primers. The pathogen was tentatively identified as Burkholderia gladioli, which was first described as a phytopathogen, and later associated with human infections, especially with patients with cystic fibrosis. PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) products digested with HinfI and sequencing of the 16S rDNA confirmed the isolate as B. gladioli. Burkholderia gladioli strains infecting plants are divided into two pathovars: alliicola and gladioli. Pathogenicity tests showed that the isolate proved to be pathogenic to Cymbidium orchid but not to onion plants, a common host for B. gladioli pv. alliicola. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of B. gladioli in Cymbidium orchids in Korea.
Ecology of the Top End bamboo Bambusa arnhemica
Creators: name: Franklin, Donald
Publisher: name: Charles Darwin University
Year: 2004

description: In this study, I aim to provide basic biological and ecological knowledge about Bambusa amhemca, the sole bamboo occurring wild in the Northern Territory of Australia, as a prelude to management considerations. On the basis of a detailed morphological description, the generic placement, monospecific status, and endemicity of B. arnhemica are confirmed. At global and catchment scales, a seemingly idiosyncratic distribution may be explained as the product of infrequent and incomplete dispersal across and away from riparian areas, combined with passive dispersal downstream. At local scales, evidence is provided that B. arnhemica is constrained by poor drainage during the dry season, and by the high frequency of fire in the savanna matrix within which it is embedded. However, seedlings cope remarkably well with both fire and prolonged wet-season inundation. Bambusa arnhemica is gregariously semelparous, flowering in patches ranging from 0.002 to 3200 km2. A temporally-ordered but spatially-chaotic flowering wave commenced in 1996, affected c. 80% of stands by 2002, and is ongoing. It is proposed that gregarious flowering is initiated by an endogenous clock that usually overrides environmental effects, and maintained by strong selection against asynchrony. Synchronicity is progressively fragmented over generations by occasional environmental effects that induce synchronously early or late flowering without altering the endogenous clock, but renewed with dispersal and speciation. Bambusa arnhemica is facultatively deciduous. Rapid elongation of culms occurs during the mid- to late- wet season, and must be completed before the onset of the dry season, a trait that may limit B. arnhemica to sites where wet-season moisture is prolonged and reliable. Bambusa arnhemica is neither a recent arrival nor an ancient inhabitant of northern Australia. Gregarious occupation of space and gregarious flowering by semelparous bamboos provides intriguing perspectives on the conundrum of group cf individual selection. Clumping bamboos are ideal subjects for intensive management and harvest, but pose unusual problems for harvest from wild stands.

description: A challenging problem of modern surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) analysis is related to the design of new composite materials with bioprotective properties providing either a reproducible signal of small quantities or intactness of protein molecules. A new way of modification of silver-based SERS-active substrates with polymer materials is proposed here to achieve large enhancement factors of SERS signals for hemoproteins. It is found that the factors grow in the order: chitosan

description: Decision tree ensembles are an extremely popular tool for obtaining high-quality predictions in nonparametric regression problems. Unmodified, however, many commonly used decision tree ensemble methods do not adapt to sparsity in the regime in which the number of predictors is larger than the number of observations. A recent stream of research concerns the construction of decision tree ensembles that are motivated by a generative probabilistic model, the most influential method being the Bayesian additive regression trees (BART) framework. In this article, we take a Bayesian point of view on this problem and show how to construct priors on decision tree ensembles that are capable of adapting to sparsity in the predictors by placing a sparsity-inducing Dirichlet hyperprior on the splitting proportions of the regression tree prior. We characterize the asymptotic distribution of the number of predictors included in the model and show how this prior can be easily incorporated into existing Markov chain Monte Carlo schemes. We demonstrate that our approach yields useful posterior inclusion probabilities for each predictor and illustrate the usefulness of our approach relative to other decision tree ensemble approaches on both simulated and real datasets.

description: In many applications, the quality characteristic of a product is continuous but unobservable, for example, the critical electric voltage of electro-explosive devices. It is often important to monitor a manufacturing process of a product with such latent quality characteristic. Existing approaches all involve specifying a fixed stimulus level and testing products under that level to collect a sequence of response outcomes (zeros or ones). Appropriate control charts are then applied to the collected binary data sequence. However, these approaches offer limited performance. Moreover, the collected dataset provides little information for troubleshooting when an out-of-control signal is triggered. To overcome these limitations, this article introduces the up-and-down test for collecting data and proposes a new control chart based on this test. Numerical studies show that the proposed chart is able to detect any shifts effectively and is robust in many situations. Finally, an example involving real manufacturing data is given to demonstrate the use of our proposed chart.

description: This paper presents a snow avalanche hazard map of the most avalanche-prone mountain range in the Czech Republic, the Krkonoše Mountains. The map was prepared using historical records of 1132 avalanches which occurred over the last 54 years and state-of-the-art modelling of avalanche propagation and the spatial distribution of potential avalanche source areas. The map provides not only reliable and easy to understand information for the Mountain Rescue Service of the Czech Republic and mountain tourists, but also for land use managers to identify areas where new avalanche paths may develop under favourable conditions, including the total removal of forest cover.

description: Group sparse approaches to regression modeling are finding ever increasing utility in an array of application areas. While group sparsity can help assess certain data structures, it is desirable in many instances to also capture element-wise sparsity. Recent work exploring the latter has been conducted in the context of l2/l1 penalized regression in the form of the sparse group lasso (SGL). Here, we present a novel model, called the sparse group elastic net (SGEN), which uses an l∞/l1/ridge-based penalty. We show that the l∞-norm, which induces group sparsity is particularly effective in the presence of noisy data. We solve the SGEN model using a coordinate descent-based procedure and compare its performance to the SGL and related methods in the context of hyperspectral imaging in the presence of noisy observations.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Poly(hexane dodecanoate)-based random copolyesters containing ether linkages have been subjected to contact with food simulant liquids and thermal and photoageing. Gas permeability, thermal and mechanical properties have been analyzed after each treatment, and the results obtained have been compared with low-density polyethylene films. The results showed that the gas barrier behavior was highly influenced by the polymer chemical composition. The contact with simulant liquids and the ageing treatments induced an increase in the crystallinity degree, together with a decrease in the molecular weight. This caused an increment of the elastic modulus and a decrement of the elongation at break.

description: In this study, environmental impacts on air, water, and soil pollution caused by the exploit of Essakane gold mine, which is located in North Eastern part of Burkina Faso were investigated. Analyses on drinking water were made in the laboratory to determine the concentration of essential chemicals used in gold mining. Dust fallouts have been measured to assess the level of air pollution. The results showed that exploiting of gold mine directly or indirectly contributes to air pollution in Essakane district. The use of chemicals such as cyanide (industrial gold mining) and mercury (artisanal gold mining) to obtain the gold from the ore constitutes a potential risk for the ecosystem, the local population's health, and livestock production. The results also showed that there is a significant degradation of natural landscape and topography of the soil by open-pits mining (industrial mine) and holes dug by artisanal miners.

description: Quadratic regression (QR) models naturally extend linear models by considering interaction effects between the covariates. To conduct model selection in QR, it is important to maintain the hierarchical model structure between main effects and interaction effects. Existing regularization methods generally achieve this goal by solving complex optimization problems, which usually demands high computational cost and hence are not feasible for high-dimensional data. This article focuses on scalable regularization methods for model selection in high-dimensional QR. We first consider two-stage regularization methods and establish theoretical properties of the two-stage LASSO. Then, a new regularization method, called regularization algorithm under marginality principle (RAMP), is proposed to compute a hierarchy-preserving regularization solution path efficiently. Both methods are further extended to solve generalized QR models. Numerical results are also shown to demonstrate performance of the methods. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

description: As an inquiry of space-related methods this article evaluates the concept of “the
world of the text” in relationship to the book of Numbers. It is contrasted with a more loose
understanding of setting as referential field, which has been used in connection with narrative
anthologies. Numbers may be described as an anthology with an attenuated frame narrative
concerning Israel’s wandering through the wilderness. Therefore, setting as referential field
is a better way to conceptualize space in the book than reading for the “world” of Numbers.
This is seen through two case-studies where the two approaches are compared. One concerning
the high census numbers at the start of Numbers together with the wilderness setting, which are shown to not invite a “factual” reading of them in a world of the wilderness, but rather as theological constructs connected to the tabernacle. The other concerning the confused itinerary notices, which are shown to not cohere into a logical trail through the wilderness, but rather fulfill their function in the passages they are part of, among other things.

description: Emissions from flares constitute unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide (CO), soot, and other partially burned and altered hydrocarbons along with carbon dioxide (CO2) and water. Soot or visible smoke is of particular concern for flare operators/regulatory agencies. The goal of the study is to develop a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model capable of predicting flare combustion efficiency (CE) and soot emission. Since detailed combustion mechanisms are too complicated for (CFD) application, a 50-species reduced mechanism, LU 3.0.1, was developed. LU 3.0.1 is capable of handling C4 hydrocarbons and soot precursor species (C2H2, C2H4, C6H6). The new reduced mechanism LU 3.0.1 was first validated against experimental performance indicators: laminar flame speed, adiabatic flame temperature, and ignition delay. Further, CFD simulations using LU 3.0.1 were run to predict soot emission and CE of air-assisted flare tests conducted in 2010 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, using ANSYS Fluent software. Results of non-premixed probability density function (PDF) model and eddy dissipation concept (EDC) model are discussed. It is also noteworthy that when used in conjunction with the EDC turbulence-chemistry model, LU 3.0.1 can reasonably predict volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions as well. Implications: A reduced combustion mechanism containing 50 C1–C4 species and soot precursors has been developed and validated against experimental data. The combustion mechanism is then employed in the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) of modeling of soot emission and combustion efficiency (CE) of controlled flares for which experimental soot and CE data are available. The validated CFD modeling tools are useful for oil, gas, and chemical industries to comply with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) mandate to achieve smokeless flaring with a high CE.

description: Polyfunctionalized heterocyclic compounds have an important role in the drug discovery process and analysis of drugs in late development. Piperidines and their analogues have received attention owing to their biological activities, because of the importance of these heterocycle compounds, there is still a need to improve the ways for green synthesis of these compounds. In this study, lactic acid was applied as a green and efficient catalyst for the one-pot five-component synthesis of highly substituted piperidines from the reaction between aromatic aldehydes, aromatic amines, and b-ketoester at ambient temperature. This methodology has a number of advantages such as: use of easy access and green catalyst, short reaction times, high yields, and easy work-up (just simple filtration).

description: In this study, environmental impacts on air, water and soil pollution caused by the exploit of Essakane Gold Mine which is located in North-Eastern part of Burkina Faso were investigated. Analyzes on drinking water were made in laboratory to determine the concentration of essential chemicals used in gold mining. Dust fallouts have been measured in order to assess the level of air pollution. The results showed that the exploit of gold mine directly or indirectly contribute to air pollution in Essakane District. The use of chemicals such as cyanide (industrial gold mining) and mercury (artisanal gold mining) to obtain the gold from the ore constitutes a potential risk for the ecosystem, the local population's health and livestock production. The results also showed that there is a significant degradation of natural landscape and topography of the soil by open pits mining (industrial mine) and holes dug by artisanal miners.

description: Arterial thrombosis is a major and global cause of human death and disability. Considering the socioeconomic costs of arterial thrombosis, identification of biomarkers to predict and detect arterial thrombosis at an early stage is an important public health goal. Platelet extracellular vesicles (PEV) are a new candidate biomarker of arterial thrombosis. PEV can be measured in biorepositories, thereby offering the possibility to validate PEV in multicenter clinical trials. PEV analysis has been hitherto hampered by lack of standardized methodology, but substantial technological improvements of PEV detection techniques have been achieved recently. However, before PEV emerge from research tools to clinical applications, a number of issues should be clarified. To facilitate validation of PEV as biomarkers of thrombosis, we discuss (i) whether PEV are useful as biomarkers of thrombosis, (ii) why previous conclusions on PEV concentrations, composition and functions require re-evaluation, and (iii) which questions have to be answered before PEV become clinically useful.

description: The Directed Assembly Network, an EPSRC Grand Challenge Network, set out in 2010 to build a wide-reaching community of scientists, engineers and industrial members that includes: chemists, biologists, physicists, chemical engineers, mathematicians, and computer scientists, to name but a few.
This Roadmap has been constructed by the Network community over years of consultations and continuous engagement through: themed meetings, sandpits, Network awards (proof of concept projects) and strategic meetings. In 2010, the Network was tasked to look 5-50 years into the future, and to capture, short, medium and long term goals. Over the 6 years since its inception the Network has grown to over 1,000 members and hosts several highly acclaimed meetings each year.
The vision of the Network is to be able to control the assembly of matter with sufficient certainty and precision to allow the preparation of materials and molecular assemblies, with far more sophisticated and tuneable properties and functions, than are accessible in materials synthesised using current methods.

description: Dicho trabajo, tanto a nivel doctrinario como jurisprudencia, analiza las nociones generales de la jurisdicción universal, buscando identificar claramente sus requisitos (la existencia de una razón específica para la jurisdicción universal, una definición clara y suficiente del crimen, la presencia de medios nacionales de la aplicación que permitan a las instancias judiciales nacionales ejercer su jurisdicción sobre esos crímenes y la adecuación de la legislación interna con las obligaciones internacionales), así como sus limitaciones (requisito de la presencia física, inmunidades, jerarquía de jurisdicciones, entre otros obstáculos), para finalmente plantear alternativas de solución ante dichos obstáculos, para su correcta aplicación, en específico: plantear un orden de preferencias de las competencias en la jurisdicción universal, determinar la aplicación del requisito de la presencia física del acusado, así como delimitar el régimen especial de inmunidades.

description: This document is a product of the Enactment of the Agricultural Research Data Federation (AgReFed) Data Stewardship and Governance Framework and the Formation of AgReFed project. It is the output of the enactment of The Guidelines for the Development of a Data Stewardship and Governance Framework for the Agricultural Research Federation (“The Guidelines” https://doi.org/10.25919/5cf179ba35db9) which enabled the movement from the project phase to a sustained federated community (AgReFed) with the shared goal of improving the sharing and reuse of agricultural data including datasets, metadata and data related products. These Guidelines identified a set of Steering and Rowing policies which need to be developed for the enactment of AgReFed (“The Guidelines” https://doi.org/10.25919/5cf179ba35db9).
 Contained herein are the documents for AgReFed Steering, developed by the authors through consultation with AgReFed founding members and published as endorsed by the AgReFed Council on 10 March 2020. Outlined are the roles performed by community members to govern and contribute to AgReFed efforts including authority structures, decision rights and substantive role descriptions, as well as the policies to guide participation and sustained operation. It is anticipated that these documents will evolve to enable the collective vision for AgReFed with future versions of this document or parts thereof reviewed, authored and released through the AgReFed governance structure.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The Moroccan economy has been looking for decades to encourage trade openness in order to achieve economic development and to achieve stable economic growth. In order to do so, the public authorities have also tried to find an exchange rate policy that would allow its evolution to be controlled over time. Economic theories and empirical research in this field confirm that a change in the exchange rate will have an impact on economic magnitudes.

In this context, the objective of this article is to test the impact of the Moroccan Dirham's exchange rate on debt. In other words, we will analyses the effects of the misalignment and volatility of the TCR on outstanding treasury debt over the period 1998-2018. Using a simple methodological approach, the study uses VAR and causality techniques to meet the objective of our study. An overall reduced theoretical model as well as the tools of the structural VAR methodology (causality within the meaning of Granger, impulse-response functions, decomposition of the variance of the forecast error) are used.

description: Pengenalan akan jati diri adalah hal yang sangat penting bagi kehidupan para Remaja masa kini, karena akan menghasilkan karakter remaja yang sesuai dengan nilai-nilai yang diharapkan. Sebaliknya, ketidakmengertian akan jati diri akan berdampak pada Remaja itu sendiri, misalnya akan menghasilkan Remaja yang pemberontak dan Remaja yang tidak memiliki tujuan-tujuan hidup di masa yang akan datang. Dalam sudut pandang Alkitab, pengenalan akan diri kita harus dimulai dari Allah itu sendiri, karena Allah adalah desainer dan arsitek hidup umat manusia. Kita diciptakan oleh Allah se-gambar dan se-rupa dengan Dia (Kejadian 1:27). Artinya manusia adalah ciptaan istimewa yang berbeda dengan ciptaan lainnya dan diberikan kemuliaan dan hak-hak istimewa untuk mengelola bumi, bahkan dipercayakan oleh Allah sebagai rekan sekerja-Nya agar bumi dan segala isinya tertata sebagaimana Allah harapkan. Siswa-siswi SLTP Perguruan Methodis 2 Palembang - Sumatera Selatan, harus memahami akan hal ini. Para siswa-siswi haruslah berkomitmen memberikan hidupnya untuk melayani-Nya, mulai menata diri dan mempersiapkan diri untuk menerima tanggung jawab pekerjaan yang Allah percayakan di masa yang akan datang. Kemudian berkomitmen menjaga kekudusan hidup dan memproklamirkan nilai-nilai kebenaran, sehingga menghasilkan karakter ilahi. Dengan demikian, kehidupan mereka di masa yang akan datang menjadi pribadi yang unggul demi kemajuan Bangsa dan Negara Republik Indonesia yang kita cintai ini.
