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.

description: Alternate rows of a Chenin blanc test vineyard in its 9th leaf on the experimental farm of the Oenological and Viticultural Research Institute, Stellenbosch, were harvested by hand and machine. The effects of harvesting temperature, MOG content and holding time of mechanically-harvested grapes on wine quality were evaluated; these wines were compared with wines from hand-harvested grapes. Results showed that increases in the MOG content, harvesting temperature and holding time singly or cumulatively caused an increase in the total polyphenols of the wines. Similarly, increases in MOG content, harvesting temperature and holding time were deleterious to wine quality and the effects were cumulative. Furthermore, a holding time of up to 4 h brought about no significant decrease in wine quality, provided the grapes were harvested at low temperatures. When grapes were harvested at high temperatures, the holding time had to be reduced to 3 h with a low MOG content in order to produce wines of similar quality. With high MOG content the quality significantly lower even with a holding time of only 1 h. Der Einfluß der maschinellen Traubenernte auf den Wein der Sorte Chenin blanc in Südafrika In einem Versuchsweinberg des Oenological and Viticultural Research Institute, Stellenbosch, wurden die Rebzeilen abwechselnd maschinell und von Hand gelesen. Der Einfluß der Lesetemperatur, der Wartezeit der Trauben zwischen Lese und Weinbereitung sowie der Verunreinigung (MOG) des maschinell geernteten Lesegutes auf die Weinqualität wurde untersucht; die so gewonnenen Weine wurden mit Weinen aus handgelesenen Trauben verglichen. Es zeigte sich, daß bei einer Steigerung von Lesetemperatur, Wartezeit der Trauben und MOG-Anteil der Gesamtpolyphenolgehalt in den Weinen zunahm. Diese Faktoren wirkten sich auch auf diesensorisch ermittelte Weinqualität nachteilig aus. Bei einer Wartezeit bis zu 4 h war bei niedrigem oder hohem MOG-Anteil kein ungünstiger Einfluß auf die Weinqualität nachweisbar, vorausgesetzt, daß die Trauben bei niedriger Temperatur gelesen wurden. Um bei höheren Lesetemperaturen Weine ähnlich guter Qualität zu erzielen, durfte die Wartezeit 3 h nicht überschreiten und mußte der MOG-Anteil niedrig sein. Bei hohem MOG-Anteil war die Weinqualität dagegen beträchtlich verringert, auch wenn die Wartezeit nur 1 h betrug.

description: Objectives: Roundabouts are a type of circular intersection control generally associated with a favorable influence on traffic safety. International studies of intersections converted to roundabouts indicate a strong reduction in injury crashes, particularly for crashes with fatal or serious injuries. Nevertheless, some crashes still occur at roundabouts. The present study aims to improve the understanding of roundabout safety by identifying crash types, locations, and factors that are associated with roundabout crashes.Methods: An analysis of 399 crashes on 28 roundabouts in Flanders, Belgium, was carried out based on detailed crash descriptions; that is, crash data and collision diagrams. The crashes are sampled from police-reported crashes at roundabouts in the region of Flanders, Belgium. Collision diagrams of the registered crashes were used to distinguish 8 different crash types. The roundabout itself is divided into 11 detailed and different typical segments, according to previously established knowledge on the occurrence of crashes at roundabouts. The 8 roundabout crash types are examined by injury severity, crash location within the roundabout, type of roundabout, type of cycle facility, and type of involved road user.Results: Four dominant crash types are identified: rear-end crashes, collisions with vulnerable road users, entering–circulating crashes, and single-vehicle collisions with the central island. Crashes with vulnerable road users and collisions with the central island are characterized by significantly higher proportions of injury crashes. About 80% of the crashes occurred on the entry lanes and the circulatory road (segments 1–4). Road users who are the most at risk to be involved in serious injury crashes at roundabouts are cyclists and moped riders.Conclusions: The main goal of this study was to identify and analyze dominant crash types at roundabouts by taking into account detailed information on the crash location. Some connections between certain roundabout crash types, their crash location, and roundabout design characteristics have been found.

description: Unter Freilandbedingungen wurde bei den Rebsorten Cabernet franc, Riesling, Bacchus, Forta und B-7-2 der Einfluß unterschiedlich hoher Stickstoffgaben auf den Gesamt-N-Gehalt einzelner Organe, den Abscisinsäure- (ABS)-Gehalt der Blätter und den Wasserhaushalt untersucht. • Mit einer steigenden N-Düngung war in allen untersuchten Organen eine Zunahme des Gehaltes an Gesamt-N verbunden. Die ABS-Gehalte waren bei N-Mangel (0 oder 0,5 g N/Gefäß) gegenüber den Varianten mit höheren N-Gaben deutlich erhöht. • Bestimmungen des Blattwasserpotentials bei den Sorten Bacchus und Forta, wurzelecht und gepfropft auf Kober 5 BB, zeigten bei hoher N-Düngung im Verlaufe des Welkeprozesses eine raschere Abnahme des Wasserpotentials, was auf eine negative Korrelation zwischen der Höhe der N-Düngung und der Blattrockenresistenz hindeutet. • Eine höhere N-Düngung (4 g N/Gefäß) führte gegen Ende der Vegetationsperiode (Ende August) bei der Sorte B-7-2 gegenüber 2 g N/Gefäß zu einem höheren Anteil nicht ausgewachsener und ausgewachsener, physiologisch aktiver Blätter; der Anteil der seneszenten Blätter war reduziert. • Die stomatäre Resistenz von Rieslingpflanzen war bei 4 g N/Gefäß gegenüber 2 g N/Gefäß erhöht; bei Kober 5 BB als Unterlage wurde die geringste, bei der Unterlage Kober 125 AA die höchste stomatäre Resistenz ermittelt. Nitrogen supply and water relations in grapevines The effects of different levels nf nitrogen supply to open air-grown grapevines, var . Cabernet franc, Riesling, Bacchus, Forta and B-7-2, were studied analyzing the amounts of total N in several organs as weil as the abscisic acid (ABA) contents and the water r elations of the leaves . • A rise of N supply was correlated with an increased content of total N in all organs. N deficiency (0 or 0.5 g N per plant) considerably increased the ABA content compared to 1, 2 or 4 g N per plant. • The leaf water potential of detached leaves of Bacchus and Forta decreased during wilting more rapidly when plants were supplieu with 180 kg N per ha than with 120 or 60 kg N per ha. It is suggested, therefore, that a high N supply is negatively correlated to drought resistance of leaves. • Towards the end of the growing season (end of August) a high N supply (4 g N per pot) led to more unexpanded and expanded, 9hysiologically active leaves, while the number of senescent leaves was reduced compared to plants with a low N supply (2 g N per pot). • Stomatal resistance of Riesling was higher with 4 g N per pot than with 2 g N per pot; grafted on Kober 5 BB stomatal r esistance was o.t its lowest, grafted on Kober 125 AA stomatal resistance was at its highest.

description: Purpose: This preliminary study was designed to assess the feasibility of Clear Speech Intervention Program (CSIP) on improving speech intelligibility of persons with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (PD). Clear Speech is a behavioural approach which focuses on improving speech intelligibility of persons with PD within a relatively short frame of time. Method: A single group pretest-posttest design was used to assess the effectiveness of CSIP. Fifteen adults diagnosed with PD participated in 8 sessions of CSIP with each session lasting 45–50 minutes over a period of 4 weeks in South Korea. All the data were collected in a quiet room with an ambient noise level of equal to or less than 40 dB SPL. Data on acoustical/aerodynamic, auditory-perceptual, and self-perceptual measures were obtained pre- and post-intervention. The Phonatory Aerodynamic System (PAS) was used to analyse acoustical/aerodynamic data. Result: The acoustical/aerodynamic assessment revealed statistically significant (p p p Conclusion: The preliminary data has provided promising results and warrants future large-scale studies with suitable controls. Additionally, future research must focus on investigating long term effects of the intervention.

description: ABSTRACTObjectivesThis 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 125cc from 2016, the fitment rate in Europe is likely to increase in the coming years. While 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.MethodsThe 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 non-sensitive 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.ResultsThe effectiveness of Motorcycle ABS in reducing injury crashes ranged from 24% (95% CI: 12%-36%) in Italy to 29% (20%-38%) in Spain and 34% (16%-52%) in Sweden. The reductions in severe and fatal crashes were even greater, at 34% (24%-44%) in Spain and 42% (23%-61%) in Sweden.The overall reductions of crashes involving ABS-equipped scooters (at least 250cc) were 27% (12%-42%) in Italy and 22% (2%-42%) in Spain. ABS on scooters with at least a 250cc engine reduced severe and fatal crashes by 31% (12%-50%), based on Spanish data alone.ConclusionsAt 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 CBS.

The substitutions were investigated under pseudo-first-order conditions as a function of the concentration of nucleophiles and reaction temperature using UV–visible spectrophotometry. The substitution of the aqua ligands by all the nitrogen donor heterocycles proceeded via a single step whose rate decreased in the respective orders: Pt1 > Pt3 > Pt2 and Pt4 > Pt6 > Pt5 in the two sets of complexes. Of the nucleophiles used in this study, pyrazine was the most reactive and the complete order of the rate of aqua substitution was Pzn >> Pz > Tz > mPz. The large and negative activation entropies and low but positive enthalpies of activation values support a significant contribution from bond making in the transition state of the substitution process.

title: Developing physiological 3D in vitro tissue models for rheumatology research

description: Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory disease in which synovial fibroblasts maintain the persistence of inflammation within the joint, dependent on a unique pathological phenotype induced by numerous epigenetic modifications. However, knowledge of the role of these stromal cells is not completely understood. All treatments for rheumatoid arthritis are immunosuppressive drugs that target the entire immune system, resulting in many severe side effects for patients. Conventional culturing systems in 2D flat surfaces have been useful in the investigation of synovial fibroblast-dependent inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis, but inevitably lead to cellular adaptation to non-physiological plastic surfaces, that do not recapitulate the complex polarised 3D matrix where synovial fibroblasts sit in the joints. Thus, better 3D physiological models would provide a better and less artefactual understanding of the role these cells in inflammation to advance more translational research. Furthermore, understanding mechanisms through which synovial fibroblasts mediate this persistence as well as the discovery of new stromal markers in order to identify specific functional subsists of synovial fibroblasts that may be promising as disease specific therapeutic targets. This study will look at the influence of two specific 3D culture systems – polystyrene scaffold (Alvetex®) and Fibronectin pegylated hydrogels – on synovial fibroblast-dependent inflammation and their biological responses as well as the effect of the presence of matrix components on synovial fibroblast biology. The final aim of this project is to develop better physiological 3D culture systems, to obtain a better understanding of the role of fibroblasts in rheumatoid arthritis, using animal models prior to translation of these platforms to human disease. These studies revealed that synovial fibroblasts cultured in 3D microenvironments such as Alvetex® after initially being grown in 2D, could potentially recapitulate the in vivo environment better than conventional 2D cultures, whilst collagen induced arthritis-synovial fibroblasts still present a pro-inflammatory phenotype. However interestingly, culture of the latter synovial fibroblasts in FNPEG hydrogels resulted in the cells expressing a more “remission’ like phenotype, exhibiting a less pro-inflammatory transcriptional programming. This not only provides rationale for the use of hydrogels and other 3D platforms in the study of the role of synovial fibroblasts in rheumatoid arthritis but also presents as a potential therapeutic to target synovial fibroblasts specifically.

description: In the Basilicata region (South Italy) slope movements, caused by soft rocks, rapid tectonic uplift, earthquakes, and seasonally heavy precipitation, constitute one of the major geologic hazards. For this reason a detailed inventory map of mass movements has been created in a test area of south-eastern Basilicata. The map was compiled from field surveys and multi-temporal air photo interpretation. For each landslide, the map depicts the state of activity and dominant type of slope movement. The integration and analysis of the data obtained by using a geographic information system has produced the mass movements inventory map at a scale of 1:25,000. Mass movements are widespread and play a key role in the landscape evolution of the study area. A total of 175 landslides were recognized, occupying a surface area of 16.2 km2, about 9% of the whole basin of interest. The spatial distribution and type of mass movements are mainly related to the lithology and structural features. Field surveys coupled with interpretation of multi-temporal aerial photos allowed us to distinguish between active (20.6%) and inactive (79.4%) landslides. Mass movements, mapped on the basis of movement type, are represented by slides, flows and complex landslides. The complex and slide type movements are very common, and represent more than 86% of the landslides mapped.

Tobacco Control and Public Health in Eastern Europe, 4(1), 41-48. doi: 10.6084/m9.figshare.1041599 This article summarizes four significant theoretical concepts from the field of Critical Medical Anthropology in two parts: in the first part, biopower/discipline and explanatory models; in the second, structural violence, and identity politics and biological citizenship. The four subjects reviewed here have been chosen for their importance to our understanding of human behaviors related to health and illness, as well as for the impact that they can have on theory, research, and practice in the field of public health. These critical theories can provide new ways of thinking about professional roles, medical decisions, disease diagnosis and etiology, treatment adherence, prevention messaging, and all sorts of health-related behaviors and systems of understanding. They can also help public health researchers shed light on the human beliefs and activities that shape patterns of disease within and across populations. Whether a research question is being formulated or research findings are being analyzed, the critical social theories outlined here can foster a more holistic understanding of the human element in any public health project.

The map was compiled from field surveys and multi-temporal air photo interpretation. For each landslide, the map depicts the state of activity and dominant type of slope movement. The integration and analysis of the data obtained by using a geographic information system has produced the mass movements inventory map at a scale of 1:25,000.Mass movements are widespread and play a key role in the landscape evolution of the study area. A total of 175 landslides were recognized, occupying a surface area of 16.2 km2, about 9% of the whole basin of interest. The spatial distribution and type of mass movements are mainly related to the lithology and structural features. Field surveys coupled with interpretation of multi-temporal aerial photos allowed us to distinguish between active (20.6%) and inactive (79.4%) landslides. Mass movements, mapped on the basis of movement type, are represented by slides, flows and complex landslides. The complex and slide type movements are very common, and represent more than 86% of the landslides mapped.

Introduction. In the fields of Physics, Mathematics and Computer science, depositing preprints or e-prints on arXiv is part of the publication cycle, as it provides access to papers, limits publication delays and establishes priority claims (Brooks, 2009). Between 1995 and 2011, about two-thirds of all arXiv e-prints could be matched to a journal article indexed in the Web of Science (Larivière et al., 2014). However, very little is known about the dissemination of these two versions across social media. The microblogging service Twitter has been identified as a tool used by academics and the general public to distribute, among other things, links to scholarly documents (Thelwall et al., 2013). Preliminary studies have demonstrated that the majority of tweets related to a scientific document appear shortly after its online availability, reaching a peak of activity much faster than citations and downloads (Eysenbach, 2011; Shuai, Pepe & Bollen, 2012). This suggests that an important share of tweets to papers in Physics, Computer science and Mathematics are likely to be made to the arXiv rather than the published version of the paper. This study investigates the challenges of measuring Twitter activity to the journal of record and arXiv versions of scientific documents.

description: O Brasil está entre os países emergentes que mais sofreram com o estabelecimento da emergência de saúde públicadecorrente da pandemia causada pelo novo coronavírus (SARS-CoV2), pois já enfrentava grave crise social eeconômica. Além de problemas de saúde, que podem até levar à morte, a alimentação da população ficoucomprometida diante da política adotada de isolamento social e da restrição na mobilidade urbana, o queinfluenciou na capacidade de aquisição e acesso aos alimentos, bem como nos hábitos alimentares. Considerandoo escopo abrangente desta pesquisa, o presente ensaio analisa as questões relacionadas à alimentação adequada eà insegurança alimentar no Brasil antes, durante e após a pandemia. O percurso metodológico se deu com umdelineamento descritivo de natureza qualitativa, empregando análise documental e bibliográfica em relação àalimentação e insegurança alimentar que emergem no âmbito nacional. Evidenciou-se o aumento da insegurançaalimentar, assim como a tendência de aumento no consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados e a diminuição noconsumo de alimentos in natura, ou minimamente processados. Por fim, destaca-se que ambos os problemas jáestavam em crescimento e, com o estabelecimento da crise sanitária, observou-se uma intensificação que tende ase estabelecer diante do atual cenário social e econômico do país.

description: In X-Men: Days of Future Past, Wolverine is sent from the future to convince the young Professor X to help him in his mission. This one asks Wolverine to transmit his negative answer to whoever sent him. To which the messenger replies: The person who sent me is you! This peculiar situation illustrates what could be seen as surprising from a mutant with all sorts of super-powers: he can’t remember his own future. Of course, we humans are familiar with this problem. From time to time, in the scientific literature or in science popularization articles, appears the question: Why do we remember the past but we can’t remember the future? This question, of course, finds its legitimacy in the time symmetry of the equations of physics. However, it is not always answered clearly, and there are still debates about the best way to explain this paradox. In the present article, I analyze the remembering process in the perspective of the entropic arrow of time to grasp the possibility of memories of the future, and to understand what that would actually
mean.
Telehealth now and in the next decade

description: Telehealth has enormous potential to change to way in which conventional healthcare is delivered to the community. There are now new tools available for health practitioners, however the emergence of technology and ICT systems has well outstripped the logistic framework of traditional healthcare. In addition, clinicians have not had training in the use of the digital instruments available to them. While recognising the drivers for change that are acting on the stakeholders, there are several defined means that are required to deliver the vision for optimal healthcare. To enable effective policy development, we must look to the creation of evidence to underpin decision-making. A number of gaps exist in the evidence base we currently use. In parallel with the development of the biotech sector, the growth of a robust and objective health ICT industry, fostering concept incubators, will provide cost-beneficial solutions and better health for the community.
title: Evaluation of Pilot Vigilance during Cruise towards the Implementation of Reduced Crew Operations

description: Airlines operate in a highly competitive economic environment and hence seek to reduce cost. This thesis examines effects of a proposed reduction of flight crew to one pilot during cruise flight. It is hypothesized that the barrier to implementing Single Pilot Operations is the failure to consider the socio-technical system. Research to date focuses on high workload phases. A literature research reveals that no concept exists that addresses flight phases of low workload and their related challenges, such as reduced vigilance. A task analysis was conducted to identify those tasks that pilots execute during the cruise phase. It was assessed that under normal operations, workload is minimal, and pilots keep themselves engaged and thus vigilant through operations-unrelated tasks. An experiment was then designed to estimate vigilance levels during a simulated cruise flight in a realistic, non-laboratory environment. 10 engineering students acted as pilots and executed a 4 hour cruise flight under realistic conditions including communication and check tasks. For comparison, both Single and Dual Pilot Operation conditions were simulated. Subject’s vigilance was estimated through Psychomotor Vigilance Tasks, subjective assessments, and changes in physiological parameters over time. These include Engagement Indices obtained through Electroencephalogram, concentration of oxygenated hemoglobin and heart rate through near infrared spectroscopy, and eye blink frequencies and durations. Results were inconsistent, as vigilance is very dependent on personal characteristics. Nevertheless, based on 3 physiological parameters, the experiment confirmed that vigilance decreased significantly when no critical events occurred. An objective performance decrement was not detected. With the onset of a simulated critical event, vigilance increased significantly. No significant differences were found in the vigilance decrement between operating regime conditions. It was concluded that not the crew complement is the underlying cause of the vigilance decrement, but the nature of the cruise phase and lacking opportunities for meaningful engagement. To close the research gap, a new human centric single pilot concept of operations was developed. An on-board mission manager is assigned mission management tasks. Mission planning and airline operations support functions keep the mission manager engaged and vigilant during the flight. Following this thesis, the new concept of operations should be implemented and validated with regards to vigilance levels.
Die Resveratrolsynthese bei Vitaceen Induktion und zytologische Beobachtungen

description: Resveratrol (trans-3,5,4'-Trihydroxystilben) wird durch verletzte Blätter aller bisher untersuchten Vitaceen ausgeschieden, wenn die Wundränder in Kontakt mit einem Zellulosesubstrat (Filterpapier) stehen, das mit einer wäßrigen Lösung induzierender Substanzen getränkt ist. Als gute Induktoren wirken u. a. viele Mono- und Disaccharide, Polysaccharide und Cu++-Ionen; sie sind aktiv bis herunter zu Konzentrationen von 0,001 %. Die Induktionswirkung ist nicht auf pH-Effekt zurückzuführen. Am wirkungsvollsten waren Alginsäure und Galactarsäure, die als Metabolit von Botrytis cinerea auf Vitis bekannt ist. Einige toxische Substanzen, u. a. Phenoxyalkylcarbonsäuren und einige Inhibitoren wie Desoxyglucose, verhindern die Ausscheidung von Resveratrol, führen aber zu dessen Ablagerung im Blattgewebe selbst. Zytologische Beobachtungen im Fluoreszenzmikroskop zeigten, daß induziertes trans-Resveratrol im Blatt zunächst entweder im Zytoplasma und/oder im Periplasma - anscheinend in der Nähe von Plasmodesmen - in Form lokaler Anhäufungen auftritt. Danach verteilt es sich gleichmäßig in die Zellwände. Unter dem Einfluß von Sonnenlicht oder durch die UV-Bestrahlung mit der Mikroskopleuchte lagert es sich in seine cis-Form um, die dann innerhalb kurzer Zeit von den Schließzellen aufgenommen wird. Dieser Effekt kann durch Desoxyglucose unterdrückt werden. The resveratrol synthesis in Vitaceae Induction and cytological observations Resveratrol (trans-3,5,4'-trihydroxy stilbene) is excreted by wounded leaves of all Vitaceae tested if the wound margins make contact to a cellulosic substratum (filter paper) soaked with inducer substances in aquous solution. These substances, including mono- and disaccharides, some polysaccharides and Cu++ ions are active down to concentrations of 0,001 %. The inducing activity is not due to pH effects, the most potent inducers are alginate and mucic acid, which is known to be a metabolite of Botrytis cinerea growing on Vitis. Some toxic substances including phenyloxyalkylcarbonic acids and some metabolic inhibitors as desoxyglucose prevent the excretion of resveratrol, which is then accumulating in the leaf tissue at some distance around the wound margin. Cytological observations by fluorescence microscopy have shown that trans-resveratrol induced in the leaf is deposited within small areas of the cytoplasm of single cells or in the periplasm, probably near plasmodesmata. From there it is distributed evenly into the cell walls. Under the influence of sunlight or after UV irradiation by the microscope lamp it is transformed to cis-resveratrol, which is then absorbed rapidly by the stomatal cells. This effect may be inhibited by a treatment with desoxyglucose.

description: All New Zealand experimental wines of the vintages 1975-1980 tested showed the presence of DMS in at least one vintage year, whether the wines were red or white. There was a general trend for older wines to have a higher probability for the presence of DMS than younger wines. The variability in the presence of DMS was suggested to be related to the processing of the wines. Dimethyl sulphoxide seems to be the precursor of DMS formed during bottle aging. Carbonyl sulphide found in grape juices was thought to be lost during fermentation because of its high volatility. Über das Vorkommen von Dimethylsulfid in einigen neuseeländischen Weinen Von allen auf das Vorkommen von Dimethylsulfirl (DMS) untersuchten neuseeländischen weißen und roten Versuchsweinen der Jahrgänge 1975-1980 zeigte zumindest ein Jahrgang die Anwesenheit dieser Aromakomponente. Ältere Weine scheinen ganz allgemein häufiger DMS zu enthalten als junge. Es wird vermutet, daß die hohe Streubreite von der Weinbereitung abhängt. Dimethylsulfoxid scheint die Vorstufe von DMS zu sein, das während des Alterungsprozesses auf der Flasche entstehen könnte. In einigen Mosten wurde Carbonylsulfid nachgewiesen, das jedoch wegen seiner hohen Flüchtigkeit mit dem Gärgas entweichen dürfte.

description: The neural mechanisms underlying hazard perception are poorly understood as to how experience leads to better driving skills. In this study we used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine experience-related changes in brain activation during hazard perception task between novice and aged drivers. Additionally, region of interest (ROI) and seed-to-voxel analyses were conducted to examine experience-related functional connectivity changes during visual attention and saliency networks between novice (n=15, age 22.13 ± 3.38 years years) and experienced (n=16, age 41.44 ± 5.83 years) drivers. Experienced drivers had significantly lower hazard perception reaction time (1.32 ± 1.09 s) and miss rates (11.42 ± 8.36 %) compared to the novice (3.58 ± 1.45 s and 39.67 ± 15.72 %, respectively). Blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) activation increased in occipital, parietal and frontal areas when executing hazard perception task in both groups. In general, during the task execution, experienced drivers showed greater activation in the occipital lobe, supramarginal gyrus (SMG), right anterior insular cortex (AIC), anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and cerebellar regions compared to the novice drivers indicating more efficient visual attention and decision-making process during hazard perception task. Seed based functional analyses during the hazard perception task revealed greater connectivity between the ACC and the entire salience network (visual attention network) in the experienced group. Additionally, ACC had higher functional connectivity with the right frontal eye field (FEF), bilateral intraparietal sulcus (IPS) and lateral occipital areas in the experienced group. Our results suggest that better hazard perception in the experienced drivers is due to increase in the activation of executive attention regions and higher functional connectivity between bilateral occipital cortices and salience network. In conclusion, better hazard perception is highly dependent on emotional awareness, perception of motion velocity, spatial representation of the environment and executing control.
