A cross-disciplinary study of scholars' multilingual research-oriented literacies
Creators: name: Villares, Rosana
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2017
Subjects: academic language, english-only policy, multilingual, scientific communication

description: INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATION among academics in higher education has been reported to be primarily in English, no matter academics’ native language backgrounds (Jenkins, 2014; Plo and Pérez-Llantada 2015). This paper seeks to demonstrate that, even if English plays a prevailing role in international communication, there exists linguistic diversity if we take a closer look at ‘localized communities of practice’ (Becher and Trowler 2001, King 2005). Following Dörnyei (2007) a survey on research-oriented practices was administered to scholars in two disciplinary communities based at a traditionally monolingual university. Similarities regarding language use and language choice were identified in the two groups of scholars. Consistent with the literature, English was the preferred choice for reading and writing research-oriented activities. However, when it comes to oral communication, language choice appears to be determined by discipline-specific practices and very much driven by the particular ethos of each discipline.

description: OBJECTIVE: Soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor–1
(also know as soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase [sFlt]-1) is a key causative
factor of preeclampsia. Resveratrol, a plant phytoalexin, has antiinflammatory
and cardioprotective properties. We sought to determine
the effect of resveratrol on sFlt-1 release.
STUDY DESIGN: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells, transformed human
trophoblast-8 (HTR/SVneo)-8/SVneo trophoblast cells, or placental explants
were incubated with cytokines and/or resveratrol. Conditioned media
were assayed for sFlt-1 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and cell
proteins used for Western blotting.
RESULTS: Resveratrol inhibited cytokine-induced release of sFlt-1
from normal placental explants and from preeclamptic placental explants.
Preincubation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells or HTR-
8/SVneo cells with resveratrol abrogated sFlt-1 release. Resveratrol
prevented the up-regulation of early growth response protein-1 (Egr-1),
a transcription factor necessary for induction of the vascular endothelial
growth factor receptor–1 gene and caused up-regulation of heme oxygenase–
1, a cytoprotective enzyme found to be dysfunctional in
preeclampsia.
CONCLUSION: In summary, resveratrol can inhibit sFlt-1 release and
up-regulate heme oxygenase–1; thus, may offer therapeutic potential
in preeclampsia.

description: Material samples are foundational for research in the Earth sciences. Their value and the value of the data derived from them depend to a large extent on the way we describe, identify, and reference them in publications and datasets. Use of globally unique sample identifiers and availability of rich and consistent information (metadata) about a sample on the web are critical for making samples and sample data findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable. This informational sheet presents guidance and best practices for supporting open science for samples, developed by the Physical Sample Curation Cluster of the Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) organization. The ESIP Physical Sample Curation Cluster is a forum for the community supporting physical samples in the earth, space, and environmental sciences. The working group consists of individual researchers who collect and work with physical samples, curators and collections managers, and cyberinfrastructure providers and developers.

malformaciónes congénitas

description: La gastrosquisis es una malformación congénita donde se produce un defecto de la pared abdominal ventral por donde protruyen los intestinos del recién nacido (RN). En el Ecuador, según el Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos (INEC), se evidenció un aumento en el número de casos de egreso hospitalario alcanzando los 52 pacientes en  el año 2010, 85 en el 2012 y 112 pacientes en el 2015. 

Se realizó un estudio observacional descriptivo utilizando datos provenientes del Sistema de Información Perinatal (SIP) de un hospital de tercer nivel de la ciudad de Quito que forma parte del Sistema Nacional de Salud del Ecuador. 

En pacientes con gastrosquisis, el peso al nacer es un factor crucial que influye en el riesgo de mortalidad. Este estudio evaluó tanto aspectos cuantitativos como cualitativos de esta variable. Cualitativamente, se observó que un peso adecuado al nacer se asoció con una menor probabilidad de mortalidad, según los valores de p yodds ratio. Cuantitativamente, se encontró que los pacientes que fallecieron tenían pesos al nacer más bajos.

Science Sketch-a-nory was a public engagement with research project generously funded by the Institute of Physics Public Engagement Grant Scheme. It brought together PhD students from the EPSRC and MRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Optical Medical Imaging (OPTIMA) together with freelance artists from the community. Over a series of speed networking and sketching sessions, fueled by pizza, those involved identified who they wanted to collaborate with to create an image. Each artist was then paid a commission to produce an artwork that responded to the science of the PhD student in just 4 hours! These artworks were then shared through social media channels during EXPLORATHON 2020, on Figshare, and printed copies were given to the students.

description: This is the abstract submitted (and accepted) for the Altmetrics14 Workshop of the ACM Web Science Conference, to be held in Bloomington Indiana, June 23, 2014.
 Objective The purpose of this study was to do a first exploration of the penetration of altmetrics in the context of an emerging country, namely Brazil. More specifically, it was to determine the viability of altmetrics approaches in such a context, and to eventually determine if the relationships established by previous studies continued to hold true. iMore broadly, it was also to open a conversation on the generalizability of altmetrics beyond the well-established, high-impact, natural and life science journals. This work therefore seeks to contribute to the body of literature of the biblio- metrics and altmetrics communities by exploring previously used methodologies and determining the universality of some of the existing claims.

description: Extreme bottom-up superfilling of annular through-silicon-vias (TSV) during copper electrodeposition has been reported wherein metal deposits on the bottom surface of the TSV with negligible deposition on its sidewalls or the field around it. The growth mode derives from a suppressor species that generates critical behavior manifesting as a negative differential resistance that, when coupled with a resistive electrolyte, yields bottom-up filling of recessed surface features. This paper models the observed phenomenon, the predictions capturing the full dynamics of the bottom-up filling process. The model considers the impact of the potential drop in the resistive electrolyte between the reference electrode and workpiece and the gradients of metal ion and rate-suppressing additive that accompany TSV filling. The predictions provide insight into the temporal and spatial variations of concentrations and overpotential that drive the bottom-up metal deposition process.

description: The sorption behaviour of alpha- and beta-endosulfan in soil organic matter was investigated using standard soil humic acid (HA) and soil fulvic acid (FA) with a modified solubility enhancement method and a dialysis bag technique. For HA, all the experiments were conducted at an ionic strength of 0.001 mol/L, in both the presence and absence of calcium and at an ionic strength of 0.01 mol/L. For FA, the experiments were conducted at two ionic strengths: 0.001 mol/L (with calcium) and 0.01 mol/L. This study is the first to describe the striking differences in the sorption behaviours of the two stereoisomers of endosulfan in HA and in FA. The sorption coefficients of alpha-endosulfan in HA and FA were significantly higher than those of beta-endosulfan. Beta-endosulfan has comparable sorption coefficients (1.5–5.4 L/g) in HA and in FA. Ionic strength and the presence of calcium have no significant effect on the sorption of beta-endosulfan in HA. However, calcium can significantly (p=0.01) enhance the solubility of alpha-endosulfan in HA. Changes in ionic strength by one order of magnitude also affect the solubility of alpha-endosulfan in HA. The sorption coefficients of alpha-endosulfan in HA (10–36 L/g) were greater than those in FA (9–14 L/g). The chirality of the alpha-isomer was hypothesised to be the primary reason behind its higher sorption in soil organic matter relative to the beta-isomer. In the presence of dissolved HA and FA found in natural soil environments, solubility of endosulfan can be increased by five times than the aqueous solubility of endosulfan without HA and FA.

Our purpose is to conduct a comparative study on exactly identical passages that were translated at a ten‑year interval by Jean de Vignay in both Miroir historial and in Jeu des échecs moralisé. This will allow us to highlight both the continuity and the differences – even the progress of the translator – in the mastery and interpretation of his Latin models. We will thereby determine the extent to which the translator could detach himanuscritelf from the translation calque, which characterises Miroir historial, to fit the particular genre of moralisation.

Curvature enhanced adsorbate coverage mechanism for bottom-up superfilling and bump control in damascene processing

description: Superconformal electrodeposition is explained by the curvature enhanced adsorbate coverage (CEAC) mechanism. A CEAC model is used to
quantitatively explain shape evolution during bottom-up “superfill” of trenches and vias. The bottom-up filling dynamic is seen to be a consequence
of competitive adsorption between a rate suppressing polyethylene glycol-chloride layer (PEG-Cl) and a depassivating or rate accelerating species
comprised of sulfonate-terminated propane thiol/disulfide and chloride (SPS-Cl). The SPS is the stronger surfactant and it adsorbs concurrently
with displacement of the more rapidly formed PEG-Cl layer; growth on non-planar geometries thus leads to enrichment of SPS on advancing
concave surfaces and dilution on convex sections. Because the metal deposition rate rises monotonically with the local accelerator (SPS-Cl) surface
coverage, this yields positive feedback that naturally gives rise to desirable bottom-up superfilling. As the accelerating action of SPS can also be
quenched by the addition of a cationic surfactant (LEV), additive concentrations can be optimized to allow SPS derived bottom-up superfilling
followed by LEV induced SPS deactivation. The LEV addition can thus be used to inhibit overshoot that otherwise would result in undesirable
bump formation above the features. This paper presents a summary of electroanalytical experiments and simulations designed to determine the
mechanism and rate constants of the adsorbate interactions during copper deposition in the PEG-Cl–SPS-LEV system as well as predictions of
feature filling using the CEAC shape change model.
Dante’s Hell in Middle French: Between Respect for the Source and Ambitions of the Translator
Creators: name: Stockebrand, Véréna
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2022

description:

This paper focuses on the most ancient French translation of Dante’s Inferno known to this day (Torino, Biblioteca Nazionale Universitaria, L.III.17). More specifically, this article studies the first six cantos. The translation is analysed with consideration to three aspects. Firstly, it is compared to the contemporaneous translations to Middle French, between the 15th and 16th centuries, with a focus on methods, conceptualisation of translation, and translators’ goals. Secondly, the Enfer is studied as a translation of Dante’s work by describing the translator’s strategies towards their source. Several linguistic elements are thus discussed, which manifest a will to remain true to the original work, nuanced by some translating mechanisms that show the opposite behaviour. Thirdly, the translation is studied as a literary object per se, through an analysis of stylistic elements that the translator kept or introduced. These three aspects allow a global judgment of the text and highlight its qualities, which will need to be extended to the whole Enfer.

description: We optimised the simultaneous analysis of four analytes, namely three anti-influenza drugs (oseltamivir (OS), zanamivir (ZAN) and amantadine (AMN)) and one metabolite of OS (oseltamivir carboxylate (OC)), in sewage treatment plant (STP) influent and effluent by verifying the types and conditions of solid phase extraction (SPE) appropriate for LC-MS/MS analysis. In summary, these target analytes were extracted from aqueous samples (30–50 mL) by using strong cation-exchange SPE cartridges (500 mg adsorbent) under acidic conditions (pH 3–4). After washing of the cartridges with acidified water (pH 3.0, 3 mL) and methanol (3 mL), the analytes were eluted with a mixed solvent (2 mL) of 10% (v/v) triethylamine in a 1:1 (v/v) mixture of acetone and water. Application of this technique to the target compounds should yield a comprehensive understanding of the occurrence and fate of anti-influenza drugs in the water environment.

description: A 1:2,000 scale orthophoto map of the southern coast of Durai Island, Indonesia, was created using kite aerial photography and computer vision software. Photographs were taken using a consumer-grade digital camera suspended from the line of a kite that was towed by boat along Durai's coastline. Three hundred and fifty-seven aerial photographs were combined into a mosaic, orthorectified and georeferenced using Agisoft PhotoScan software with ground control points collected via a GPS field survey. The map was created in conjunction with underwater ecological surveys of the coral reefs surrounding the island, and it supports ongoing monitoring and educational outreach efforts. Kite aerial photography provides a low-cost, portable, and technologically straightforward means of collecting large-scale aerial imagery in situations where a conventional, aircraft-based photographic survey is not practical.

description: Juvenile hormone esterase (JHE) plays a key role in the development and metamorphosis of holometabolous insects. Its inhibitors could possibly be targeted for insect control. Conversely, JHE may also be involved in endocrine disruption by xenobiotics, resulting in detrimental effects in beneficial insects. There is therefore a need to know the structural characteristics of the molecules able to monitor JHE activity, and to develop SAR and QSAR studies to estimate their effectiveness. For a large diverse population of 181 trifluoromethylketones (TFKs) – the most potent JHE inhibitors known to date – we recently proposed a binary classification (active/inactive) using a support vector machine and Codessa structural descriptors. We have now examined, using the same data set and with the same descriptors, the applicability and performance of five other machine learning approaches. These have been shown able to handle high dimensional data (with descriptors possibly irrelevant or redundant) and to cope with complex mechanisms, but without delivering explicit directly exploitable models. Splitting the data into five batches (training set 80%, test set 20%) and carrying out leave-one-out cross-validation, led to good results of comparable performance, consistent with our previous support vector classifier (SVC) results. Accuracy was greater than 0.80 for all approaches. A reduced set of 15 descriptors common to all the investigated approaches showed good predictive ability (confirmed using a three-layer perceptron) and gives some clues regarding a mechanistic interpretation.

description: Fungi are among the most important microorganisms affecting population dynamics of insects. Although they are used as biocontrol agents for several decades but their interactions to insect pests, predators and parasitoids are still interesting in case of virulence, host physiology and environmental persistence. Understanding the possible synergistic or antagonistic interactions of entomopathogenic fungi with other biocontrol agents mainly predators is a critical factor to achieve a successful pest control program. In the current study, effects of the two native isolates of Beauveria bassiana (AM-118 and BB3) were studied on survival, cellular immunity and antioxidant system of Cryptolaemous montrouzieri Mulsant. Bioassay results showed that both AM-118 and BB3 caused significant mortality on the third instar larvae and the adults of C. montrouzieri. Moreover, they increased total and differential hemocyte counts and significantly induced phenoloxidase activity and nodule formation at 48, 72 and 96 h post-treatment. A considerable increase was also observed in the activities of antioxidant enzymes at 72 and 96 h post-treatment. Although the isolates caused mortality on both stages, induction of immune and antioxidant systems protect C. montrouzieri against infective conidia.

description: As important pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), most C-type lectins (CTLs) are a class of Ca2+-dependent carbohydrate-binding proteins that are found to be involved in non-self-recognition and antiviral process. In this study, a new CTL, named SbCTL, was identified from ark clams, Scapharca broughtonii. The amino acid sequence of SbCTL consisted of a predicted CRD (carbohydrate recognition domain) structural domain (including 102 amino acid residues). The amino acid sequence of SbCTL shared 28 % - 39 % similarity with other CTLs. There were two potential Ca2+ binding sites in SbCTL. The expression of SbCTL mRNA was detected in all selected tissues, with the highest expression in the gills. Expression of SbCTL mRNA increased significantly (p < 0.05) and total vibrio content increased significantly (p <0.05) in ark clam infected with OsHV-1 at 72 h post-infection. The binding activities of recombinant SbCTL (rSbCTL) to various PAMPs with or without Ca2+ were analyzed by ELISA, rSbCTL showed especially high binding activity to LPS in a Ca2+-independent manner. rSbCTL also functioned on sheltering ark clams from OsHV-1 infection in vivo, there were less mortality occurred in the rSbCTL treated group than the control. In all, it suggests that SbCTL, could served a critical role in the immune response against intruders in ark clams.

description: Let’s play our DANS data game!

DANS has developed a game especially for researchers: the DANS Data Game. The game gives an impression of the research data landscape and was specially produced for the 15th anniversary of DANS. In advance of the 20th anniversary of DANS, we present here the 2024 updated version (DANS Data Game v2.0).

More details on the website, including how to order your own copy.

Rules of the game

Goal

The idea is to play smart and collect as many sets of four cards as possible, by asking alternately between players. By paying close attention to other turns you can find out who has which cards. The one with the most quartets wins after all the sets have been collected.

Preparation

All cards are dealt among the players. It is possible that some players have more cards than others. You take the cards in your hand and do not show them to the other players.

The game

A random player starts. When it’s your turn, ask one of the other players for a card. This must be a card from one of the sets of four of which you have at least one card in your hand. Name the name of the set and ask for the specific card you want. If the player has that card, he musthand it over to you and you may continue to ask for cards until you fail to get one. You may ask all players every time. If you have a set of four cards, you call “SET!” and place the four matching cards on the table in front of you. If the player does not have the requested card, your turn is over and the player to whom you last asked a card is next. The game is over when all sets are complete.

DANS Data Game with two players

When distributing the cards, you can share cards in a blind stack. The game proceeds as described above, but if someone asks for a card that cannot be given, he will receive a card from the blind stack to end his turn. This variant can also be played by two players.

description: We optimised the simultaneous analysis of four analytes, namely three anti-influenza drugs (oseltamivir (OS), zanamivir (ZAN) and amantadine (AMN)) and one metabolite of OS (oseltamivir carboxylate (OC)), in sewage treatment plant (STP) influent and effluent by verifying the types and conditions of solid phase extraction (SPE) appropriate for LC-MS/MS analysis. In summary, these target analytes were extracted from aqueous samples (30–50 mL) by using strong cation-exchange SPE cartridges (500 mg adsorbent) under acidic conditions (pH 3–4). After washing of the cartridges with acidified water (pH 3.0, 3 mL) and methanol (3 mL), the analytes were eluted with a mixed solvent (2 mL) of 10% (v/v) triethylamine in a 1:1 (v/v) mixture of acetone and water. Application of this technique to the target compounds should yield a comprehensive understanding of the occurrence and fate of anti-influenza drugs in the water environment.

description: Coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) are characterized by many complex features, including feedback loops, nonlinearity and thresholds, surprises, legacy effects and time lags, and resilience. Agent-based models (ABMs) are powerful for handling such complexity in CHANS models, facilitating in-depth understanding of CHANS dynamics. ABMs have been employed mostly on a site-specific basis, however. Little of this work provides a common infrastructure with which CHANS researchers (especially nonmodeling experts) can comprehend, compare, and envision CHANS processes and dynamics. We advance the science of CHANS by developing a CHANS-oriented protocol based on the overview, design concepts, and details (ODD) framework to help CHANS modelers and other researchers build, document, and compare CHANS-oriented ABMs. Using this approach, we show how complex demographic decisions, environmental processes, and human–environment interaction in CHANS can be represented and simulated in a relatively straightforward, standard way with ABMs by focusing on a comparison of two world-renowned CHANS: the Wolong Nature Reserve in China and the Chitwan National Park in Nepal. The four key lessons we learn from this cross-site comparison in relation to CHANS models include how to represent agents and the landscape, the need for standardized modules for CHANS ABMs, the impacts of scheduling on model outcomes, and precautions in interpreting “surprises” in CHANS model outcomes. We conclude with a CHANS protocol in the hope of advancing the science of CHANS.

Publisher: name: VITIS - Journal of Grapevine Research
Year: 2016

description: Tendrils of several Vitis species and hybrids were transformed into inflorescences by repeated treatment of shoot apices with 6-(benzylamino)-9-(2-tetrahydropyranyl)-9H-purine (PBA, 50-1000 flM). Tendrils of male vines were more readily converted into inflorescences by PBA-treatment than those of females or hermaphrodite vines. V. vinifera, V. rupestris and their hybrids were more responsive to PBA-treatment than V. monticola, V. girdiana and Muscadinia rotundifolia. Bunches of gmpes with viable seeds were produced by tendril-derived inflorescences of the V. vinifera cultivars Muscat of Alexandria (☿) and Katakourgan (♀) and of a V. vinifera X V. rupestris hybrid (♂). Die Blütenbildung bei der Rebe: Der Einfluß des Genotyps auf die Cytokinin-induzierte Umwandlung von Ranken in Infloreszenzen Die Ranken verschiedener Vitis-Arten und -Bastarde entwickelten sich zu Infloreszenzen, wenn die Triebspitzen wiederholt mit 6-(Benzylamino)-9-(2-tetrahydropyranyl)-9H-purin (PBA; 50-1000 pM) behandelt wurden. Die Ranken männlicher Reben ließen sich durch PBA-Behandlung leichter in Infloreszenzen umwandeln als diejenigen weiblicher oder zwittriger Reben. V. vinifera, V. rupestris und ihre Kreuzungen reagierten stärker auf die PBA-Behandlung als V. monticola, V. girdiana und Muscadinia rotundifolia. Trauben mit lebensfähigen Samen entstanden aus rankenbürtigen Infloreszenzen der V.-vinifera-Sorten Muskat von Alexandria,(☿) und Katakourgan (♀) sowie einer V.-vinifera- x V.-rupestris-Kreuzung (♂).

description: Objectives: This study set out to evaluate the effectiveness of motorcycle antilock braking systems (ABS) in reducing real-life crashes.Since the European Parliament has voted on legislation making ABS mandatory on all new motorcycles over 125 cc from 2016, the fitment rate in Europe is likely to increase in the coming years. Though previous research has focused on mostly large displacement motorcycles, this study used police reports from Spain (2006–2009), Italy (2009), and Sweden (2003–2012) in order to analyze a wide range of motorcycles, including scooters, and compare countries with different motorcycling habits.Methods: The statistical analysis used odds ratio calculations with an induced exposure approach. Previous research found that head-on crashes were the least ABS-affected crash type and was therefore used as the nonsensitive crash type for ABS in these calculations. The same motorcycle models, with and without ABS, were compared and the calculations were carried out for each country separately. Crashes involving only scooters were further analyzed.Results: The effectiveness of motorcycle ABS in reducing injury crashes ranged from 24% (95% confidence interval [CI], 12–36) in Italy to 29% (95% CI, 20–38) in Spain, and 34% (95% CI, 16–52) in Sweden. The reductions in severe and fatal crashes were even greater, at 34% (95% CI, 24–44) in Spain and 42% (95% CI, 23–61) in Sweden.The overall reductions of crashes involving ABS-equipped scooters (at least 250 cc) were 27% (95% CI, 12–42) in Italy and 22% (95% CI, 2–42) in Spain. ABS on scooters with at least a 250 cc engine reduced severe and fatal crashes by 31% (95% CI, 12–50), based on Spanish data alone.Conclusions: At this stage, there is more than sufficient scientific-based evidence to support the implementation of ABS on all motorcycles, even light ones. Further research should aim at understanding the injury mitigating effects of motorcycle ABS, possibly in combination with combined braking systems.
Control of vegetative growth of grapevine shoots by ethylene-releasing substances Conditions and sites of action

description: Grapevine shoots of the cvs. Muscat Hamburg and Perlette were treated with two commercial ethylene-releasing substances, Ethrel (2-chloroethylphosphonic acid) and Alsol (2Tchloroethyl-tris-(2-methoxyethoxy)silane) at acid and neutral pH. Ethrel caused significant shoot growth inhibition, Alsol had no effect on the growth rate. Ethrel was more active at pH 6.9 than at pH 2.2, and its uptake was significantly higher at the low pH. In many cases the apical meristem of Ethrel-treated shoots was damaged. The relation of uptake to growth response was determined. Leaf blade treatments alone did not inhibit the growth of the apex. Die Kontrolle des vegetativen Wachstums von Rebtrieben durch Äthylen-liefernde Substanzen Einwirkungsbedingungen und -orte Triebe der Rebsorten Muskat Hamburg und Perlette wurden mit zwei Äthylen-freisetzenden Handelspräparaten behandelt: Ethrel (2-Chloräthylphosphonsäure) und Alsol (2-Chloräthyl-tris-(2-methoxyäthoxy)silan) bei saurem und neutralem pH. Ethrel verursachte eine signifikante Hemmung des Triebwachstums, Alsol hatte keinen Einfluß auf die Wachstumsgeschwindigkeit. Ethrel war bei pH 6,9 wirksamer als bei pH 2,2; im niedrigen pH-Bereich war seine Aufnahme signifikant erhöht. In den behandelten Sprossen war vielfach das apikale Meristem geschädigt. Die Beziehung zwischen Substanzaufnahme und Wachstumsreaktion wurde bestimmt. Bei alleiniger Blattbehandlung war das Wachstum der Triebspitze nicht gehemmt.

description: Chimeric grapevines have been established in the cultivar Bolgar as a result of the natural mutation process. Part of these grapevines is diploid, while the other part of the same plants is a di-tetraploid periclinal chimera of the 2-4 type. Yield and quality of grapes are the lowest in the cases when the fruit-bearing shoots are formed on the chimeric part. Étude sur les plantes chimériques de la vigne (Vitis vinifera L., variété Bolgar) Chez la variété Bolgar on a découvert des vignes chimériques - résultat de mutations naturelles. Une partie de ces vignes est diploide, une autre représente une chimère périclinale di-tétraploide du type 2-4. Quand les sections fruitières sont formées sur la partie chimérique, les caractéristiques du rendement et de la qualité du raisin sont les plus basses.
