description: At present, China's agricultural product trade is facing the development dilemma. The trade deficit is expanding, market and product structure is irrational, and the Chinese agriculture products often encounter trade barriers. "B&R" initiative provides a rare opportunity for the development of agricultural products in China. It is necessary to seize this opportunity to change idea and innovate upon mechanism so as to increase the added value of exported agricultural products through various channels. There is also a need to develop electronic commerce, and make full use of interconnectivity and trade facilitation in "B&R" initiative to develop the international trade of agricultural products.

description: The continuing studies on the fruits of Stauntonia brachyanthera led to the isolations of 6 normal and nor-oleanane triterpenoids, including two new compounds, brachyantheoraside B10 (1) and brachyantheraside C1 (2). Compounds 1–3 showed inhibitory activity on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide production in RAW 264.7 macrophages with the IC50 values of 27.04, 26.22, and 21.41 μM, respectively, which were all stronger than that of indomethacin. The study not only revealed a new type of nor-oleanane triterpenoids, but also confirmed the anti-inflammation abilities of three type nor-oleanane triterpenoids as the inhibitors of NO production.

description: It is shown that the shoving model expression for the average relaxation time of viscous liquids follows largely from a classical "landscape" estimation of barrier heights from curvature at energy minima. The activation energy involves both instantaneous bulk and shear moduli, but the bulk modulus contributes less than 8% to the temperature dependence of the activation energy. This reflects the fact that the physics of the two models are closely related.

Subjects: Agribusiness

description: We present an overview of the added-value created by Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) labelling scheme for goat and/or ewe milk cheeses in Europe through literature review. A food product wearing the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) label has an original trait, strictly related to its area of origin, this trait is not reproducible outside this area. A PDO food product is produced and processed and prepared in its area of production and benefits from a long lasting good reputation. The PDO labelling scheme is based upon the peculiar combination of pedoclimatic conditions and local know-how which makes the product unique and original. The PDO label is a guarantee of origin and protects the collective brand name against fraudulent naming of PDO-like products coming from nowhere, such as Feta-like industrial cheese.

description: Sources of income vary substantially among the 2.1 million U.S. farm operator households. Most farm households report some off-farm income, both earned and unearned. Off-farm income typically comes from wages, salaries, and self-employment. Some households, however, report income mainly from unearned sources (interest, dividends, and retirement income). How do the levels and sources of household income differ by household and farm characteristics? What are the implications of these differences?

description: Background: Chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled to next generation sequencing (ChIP-Seq) is a widely used technique to investigate the function of chromatin-related proteins in a genome-wide manner. ChIP-Seq generates large quantities of data which can be difficult to process and analyse, particularly for organisms with contig based genomes. Contig-based genomes often have poor annotations for cis-elements, for example enhancers, that are important for gene expression. Poorly annotated genomes make a comprehensive analysis of ChIP-Seq data difficult and as such standardized analysis pipelines are lacking. Methods: We report a computational pipeline that utilizes traditional High-Performance Computing techniques and open source tools for processing and analysing data obtained from ChIP-Seq. We applied our computational pipeline "Rapid Analysis of ChIP-Seq data" (RACS) to ChIP-Seq data that was generated in the model organism Tetrahymena thermophila, an example of an organism with a genome that is available in contigs. Results: To test the performance and efficiency of RACs, we performed control ChIP-Seq experiments allowing us to rapidly eliminate false positives when analyzing our previously published data set. Our pipeline segregates the found read accumulations between genic and intergenic regions and is highly efficient for rapid downstream analyses. Conclusions: Altogether, the computational pipeline presented in this report is an efficient and highly reliable tool to analyze genome-wide ChIP-Seq data generated in model organisms with contig-based genomes.

title: Investigating the effects of occupational therapy in individuals with chronic respiratory conditions
Creators: name: McCowan, Amanda J
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: occupational therapy
subject: chronic respiratory disease
subject: pulmonary rehabilitation

description: Individuals with chronic respiratory conditions experience debilitating symptoms including dyspnoea, anxiety and fatigue creating barriers to engagement in occupations. In this population, self-identified problematic occupations are extremely varied, amid weak associations with clinical determinants. This highlights the need for individualised assessment and person tailored interventions to address the unique occupational challenges experienced by people with chronic respiratory conditions. Historically, occupational therapists have been delivering services to this population often as part of multidisciplinary pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) programs. Though literature is emerging regarding the impact of occupational therapy for people with chronic respiratory conditions and when part of PR. There is a need however, to build this evidence-base further to support occupational therapists to meet the service needs of this population. Therefore, further exploration of the scope and impact of occupational therapy for individuals with chronic respiratory conditions, particularly as part of multidisciplinary PR is warranted. The objective of the research was to investigate occupational therapy services for people with chronic respiratory conditions inclusive of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Bronchiectasis and Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD). This was achieved through the following aims: (1) to examine and map the scope and impact of occupational therapy services for people with chronic respiratory conditions; (2) to explore the occupational challenges of individuals with chronic respiratory conditions participating in PR; (3) to examine the impact of occupational therapy when combined with PR on occupational performance, satisfaction with performance and dyspnoea management in occupations experienced as challenging; and (4) to examine occupational therapy interventions combined with PR through a process evaluation to determine active components and mechanisms for success.

subject: particle manipulation

description: The manipulation and separation of particles and cells are crucial for disease diagnosis, biomedical research and therapeutic development. Microfluidics has shown significant progress in these areas, demonstrating precise manipulation and separation of tiny particles (e.g., cells, bacteria, viruses, and DNA). This technology offers advantages such as reduced sample volumes, lower cost, higher accuracy, automation and integration with multiple procedures. Among the various manipulation technologies, inertial microfluidics stands out due to its simple structure, label-free, easy operation, and high throughput. However, the current inertial microfluidic technology is still challenged when processing complex rare target cell samples, such as circulating tumour cells (CTCs) in blood samples. The separation efficiency and resolution are still limited. Moreover, conventional inertial microfluidic technology is difficult to handle heterogeneous cell samples, where particle sizes are too close or even partially overlap. Thus, it is urgent to develop innovative inertial microfluidic technology to enhance cell separation performance. [...]

description: In this article we study the long-run average rate of forest conversion in Brazil. Deforestation results from the following trade-off: on the one hand, the uncertain value of benefits associated with forest conservation (biodiversity, carbon sequestration and other ecosystem services), on the other hand, the economic profits associated with land development (agriculture, ranching, etc.). We adopt the model by Bulte et al. (2002) as theoretical frame for studying land conversion and then derive, following Di Corato et al. (2013), the associated long-run average rate of forest conversion. We then identify the parameters to be used in our model. The object of our simulation is Brazil and 27 states. Our aim is to compute under several scenarios the time required to develop the remaining forested land in these states. We provide potential future scenarios, in terms of forest coverage, for the next 20, 100 and 200 years. Our results suggest that the uncertainty characterizing forest benefits plays a relevant role in deterring deforestation. We find that these benefits, if growing at a sufficiently high rate, may significantly slow down the conversion process. In contrast, a higher volatility accelerates the process of deforestation. We indicate the Brazilian states where forests are expected to be saturated earlier. In this respect, we find that forestland currently available may be expected to be fully converted within a 200-year horizon.

description: The recent detection of the 21-cm absorption signal by the EDGES collaboration has been widely used to constrain the basic properties of dark matter particles. However, extracting the parameters of the 21-cm absorption signal relies on a chosen parametrization of the foreground radio emission. Recently, the new parametrizations of the foreground and systematics have been proposed, showing significant deviations of the 21-cm signal parameters from those assumed by the original EDGES paper. In this paper, we consider this new uncertainty, comparing the observed signal with the predictions of several dark matter models, including the widely used cold dark matter model, 1-3 keV warm dark matter models, and 7 keV sterile neutrino (SN7) model, capable of producing the reported 3.5 keV line. We show that all these dark matter models cannot be statistically distinguished using the available EDGES data.

description: Regarding complex networks, one of the most relevant problems is to understand and to explore community structure. In particular it is important to define the network organization and the functions associated to the different network partitions. In this context, the idea is to consider some new approaches based on interval data in order to represent the different relevant network components as communities. The method is also useful to represent the network community structure, especially the network hierarchical structure. The application of the methodologies is based on the Italian interlocking directorship network.
Coherent radiation of an ultra-relativistic charged particle channeled in a periodically bent crystal

description: We suggest a new type of the undulator radiation which is generated by an ultra-relativistic particle channeled along a periodically bent crystallographic plane or axis. The electromagnetic radiation arises mainly due to the bending of the particle's trajectory, which follows the shape of the channel. The parameters of this undulator, which totally define the spectrum and the angular distribution of the radiation (both spontaneous and stimulated), depend on the type of the crystal and the crystallographic plane (axis), on the type of a projectile and its energy, and on the shape of the bent channel, and, thus, can be varied significantly by varying these characteristics. As an example, we consider the acoustically induced radiation (AIR) which is generated by ultra-relativistic particles channeled in a crystal which is bent by a transverse acoustic wave. The AIR mechanism allows to make the undulator with the main parameters varying in wide ranges, which are inaccessible in the undulators based on the motion of particles in the periodic magnetic fields and also in the field of the laser radiation. The intensity of AIR can be easily made larger than the intensity of the radiation in a linear crystal and can be varied in a wide range by varying the frequency and the amplitude of the acoustic wave in the crystal. A possibility to generate stimulated emission of high-energy photons (in keV - MeV region) is also discussed.

description: In this paper, we aim to characterize a transiting planetary candidate in the southern skies found in the combined MASCARA and bRing data sets of HD 85628, an A3V star of V = 8.2 mag at a distance 172 pc, to confirm its planetary nature. The candidate was originally detected in data obtained jointly with the MASCARA and bRing instruments using a BLS search for transit events. Further photometry was taken by the 0.7 m CHAT, and radial velocity measurements with FIDEOS on the ESO 1.0 m Telescope. High resolution spectra during a transit were taken with CHIRON on the SMARTS 1.5 m telescope to target the Doppler shadow of the candidate. We confirm the existence of a hot Jupiter transiting the bright A3V star HD 85628, which we co-designate as MASCARA-4b and bRing-1b. It is in a 2.824 day orbit, with an estimated planet radius of $1.53 ^{0.07}_{0.04}$ $R_{\rm{Jup}}$ and an estimated planet mass of $3.1 \pm 0.9$ $M_{\rm{Jup}}$, putting it well within the planet mass regime.. The CHAT observations show a partial transit, reducing the probability that the transit was around a faint background star. The CHIRON observations show a clear Doppler shadow, implying that the transiting object is in a retrograde orbit with $|λ| = 247.5 \pm 1.6 $\textdegree. The planet orbits at at a distance of 0.047 $\pm$ 0.004 AU from the star and has a zero-albedo equilibrium temperature of 2100 $\pm$ 100 K. In addition, we find that HD 85628 has a previously unreported stellar companion star in the Gaia DR2 data demonstrating common proper motion and parallax at 4.3 arcsecond separation (projected separation $\sim$740 AU), and with absolute magnitude consistent with being a K/M dwarf.

description: The smallholder tree-farm resources of Southeast Asia are generating substantial benefits for growers and support many successful domestic wood processors. They could provide even greater benefits at all levels of the supply and value chains if they enjoyed a sympathetic policy framework; technical and specialised support and training to promote productivity gains; and greater knowledge of market trends and access requirements. This paper reviews current forest certification systems as applied to smallholder tree-farmers in Southeast Asia, with a focus on the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Thailand and Viet Nam, and questions whether perceived benefits match operational realities. A critical issue in any form of transactional relationship between two or more people or institutions is to answer to mutual satisfaction the question, ‘Who benefits?’ This is particularly important in transactions between relatively weak and vulnerable and relatively strong and powerful individuals and groups, such as the relationships between smallholder tree-farmers in Southeast Asia and purchasers of certified wood products. We explore factors that drive certification and how they intersect with salient characteristics of smallholder tree-farms restricting the adoption of certification. We argue that new approaches are required to deliver the benefits necessary to expand smallholder participation in wood production supply chains, such as national codes of practice for small-scale forestry and agreed standards that encourage mutual recognition between verification systems. Innovative approaches should be adopted to deliver a fair, equitable and inclusive model that is relevant, practical, feasible and cost-effective for smallholder tree-farmers. As currently practised, certification has many positive aspects for some types of forests and wood producers but rarely for smallholder tree-farmers. A new approach to smallholder forest certification is required to ensure that the answer to the question, ‘Who benefits?’ is, ‘All participants in the supply and value chain, including smallholder tree-farmers’. To achieve this outcome, certification organisations and forest products businesses should remove existing barriers to smallholder participation and develop initiatives to more fairly link smallholder tree-farmers with others in the supply chain, based on enabling and mutually supportive partnerships.

description: Thermal emission from the surface of an ultramagnetic neutron star is believed to contribute significantly to the soft X-ray flux of the Anomalous X-ray Pulsars. We compare the detailed predictions of models of the surface emission from a magnetar to the observed properties of AXPs. In particular, we focus on the combination of their luminosities and energy-dependent pulsed fractions. We use the results of recent calculations for strongly magnetized atmospheres to obtain the angle- and energy-dependence of the surface emission. We include in our calculations the effects of general relativistic photon transport and interstellar extinction. We find that the combination of the large pulsed fractions and the high luminosities of AXPs cannot be accounted for by surface emission from a magnetar with two antipodal hot regions or a temperature distribution characteristic of a magnetic dipole. This result is robust for reasonable neutron star radii, for the range of magnetic field strengths inferred from the observed spin down rates, and for surface temperatures consistent with the spectral properties of AXPs. Models with a single hot emitting region can reproduce the observations, provided that the distance to one of the sources is ~30% less than the current best estimate, and allowing for systematic uncertainties in the spectral fit of a second source. Finally, the thermal emission models with antipodal emission geometry predict a characteristic strong increase of the pulsed fraction with photon energy, which is apparently inconsistent with the current data. The energy-dependence of the pulsed fraction in the models with one hot region shows a wider range of behavior and can be consistent with the existing data. Upcoming high-resolution observations with Chandra and XMM-Newton will provide a conclusive test.

description: Food supply chains consist of many links and operate on a global scale with many stakeholders involved from farm to fork. Each stakeholder maintains data about food products that they handle, but this data is not transparently available to all other stakeholders in the chain due to various reasons. Trust and reciprocity for data sharing is limited and there is insufficient clarity in data ownership and possible legal consequences. However, various stakeholders could benefit from making data available across the supply chain. Food producers are very interested in consumer demands and trends. Growers also want to guide their supply based on the potential demand for specific food products in the near future. In addition, there are various other data sources that contain interesting data for these same stakeholders, such as import/export transactions, production (forecast) data, parcel crop information, local weather predictions and social media streams. To make all stakeholders in the food chain benefit from these data sources and to share data more transparently, the Dutch horticulture and food domain is developing the HortiCube platform via which various data sources are made accessible to application developers using a secure, linked data application interface. This paper describes the development of the HortiCube, the technologies being used and the lessons learned on aligning semantics by mapping of terms and the implementation performance using an example demo application.

description: Stenchaetothrips biformis (Bagnall)
 Female macroptera. Body uniformly brown (Fig. 19); antennal segments I–II dark, II paler at apex, III pale, IV slightly shaded, V–VII dark; all tibiae and tarsi pale, femur slightly shaded near base; fore wing uniformly shaded, clavus strongly shaded (Fig. 22). Head not convex in front; ocellar setal pair II longer than setal pair III; post-ocellar setal pair I variable, either both present or with one or both setae absent, when present longer than pair II and subequal to pair III, these setae usually as long as distance between hind ocelli. Pronotum with about 12 discal setae, median area smooth, posterior margin with a few weak transverse striations; posterior margin with 3–4 pairs of setae (Fig. 17), median pair variably long. Mesonotum without anterior campaniform sensilla. Metanotum with closely spaced striations, campaniform sensilla absent, median setae arising behind anterior margin but varying in position. Meso- and metafurca each without a spinula. Metasternum with about 14 discal setae. Abdominal tergites V–VIII with paired ctenidia; tergites I–VII posterior margin with a few tooth-like microtrichia laterally, VIII posterior margin with a complete comb of long slender microtrichia; submedian setae on VIII not extending beyond posterior margin; IX without anterior pair of campaniform sensilla. Sternites with irregular minute microtrichia on sculpture lines, sometimes with a few marginal microtrichia.
 Male macroptera. Similar to female but smaller; sternites III–VII with a transverse pore plate, microtrichia more prominent on sternites and sternal posterior margins (Fig. 20).
 Specimens studied. MALAYSIA, Selangor, UKM campus, 6 females, 1 male on grass near damp site, 14.ii.2012 (Ng, Y.F.) (CISUKM; ANIC).
 Comments. This species, the rice thrips, is common in the state of Kedah, the primary rice production state in Peninsular Malaysia. It seems to be more abundant during the flowering season of paddy, but is usually considered a pest of seedling rice (Pathak & Khan 1994). Serious crop loss to this pest species has not been recorded in Malaysia. A few specimens, presumably vagrants, were recorded on Capsicum annuum in Peninsular Malaysia by Azidah (2011). Variation in the head chaetotaxy between populations of this species was discussed by Vierbergen (2004) and by Mound (2011).

description: Wie andere technische Bereiche wird auch das Bauwesen im zunehmenden Maße durch Megatrends beeinflusst. Das gilt insbesondere für den Klimawandel. So soll durch Entwicklungen im Bereich der Bindemitteltechnologie die produktionsbedingte CO2-Freisetzung drastisch herabgesetzt werden (Vermeidung), auf der anderen Seite führen bereits heute die heißen Sommer in Deutschland zu Einschränkungen bei der Bauausführung (Anpassung). Beide Entwicklungen fordern Veränderungen bei den eingesetzten Baustoffen und Additiven, aber auch bei den Bauweisen. Es ist nachvollziehbar, dass dies insbesondere für die Nachbehandlung von Stahlbetonbauteilen gilt. Die neuen Generationen an Bindemitteln mit deutlich reduzierten Anteilen an Portlandzementklinker, eingesetzt bei erhöhten Temperaturen und geringen Werten für die Luftfeuchtigkeit, erfordern längere Nachbehandlungszeiten, während derer der Wasserverlust praktisch vollständig vermieden werden sollte. Andernfalls wird sich das Gefüge der Betonrandzone nicht so entwickeln können, wie es für eine hohe Dauerhaftigkeit des Bauteils erforderlich wäre. Um bereits heute eine qualitativ hochwertige Qualität der Betonrandzone durch ausreichende Nachbehandlung zu gewährleisten, wurde ein neuartiges Nachbehandlungsgel entwickelt, das,vereinfacht ausgedrückt, Wasser miteiner speziellen Tensidkombina-tion in ein Gel überführt. Der Wasseranteil beträgt dabei über 99%. Der Anteil der hochwirksamen Tensidkombination beträgt weniger als 1%, weshalb nach einer einfachen Reinigung mit Wasser keine störenden Rückstände auf derBetonoberfläche verbleiben. Die Wirkung der Nachbehandlungsqualität wurde für ein Pilotprojekt im Labormaßstab überprüft. Dabei konnte eine Qualität bei der Nachbehandlung nachgewiesen werden, wie sie an einem C35/45 mit langsamer Festigkeitsentwicklung bei einer dreitägigenUnterwasserlagerung nachweisbar ist. In Kürze sollen diese Ergebnisse nochmals im Realmaßstab an einem Tunnelbauprojekt verifiziert werden.

description: This paper investigates the effects of the introduction of a specific animal welfare label on consumer decision making when shopping for pork. Based on two empirical studies, we analyze whether substitution effects between organic, regional, and animal welfare products have to be expected under current market conditions. Our results show that persons with preference for animal welfare decide significantly more often for the animal welfare or the organic product, not for local, and that organic heavy buyers do not differ from rest of sample with respect to animal welfare or local choice. The animal welfare label as stand-alone selling proposition may be too weak to create value added. Based on the examination of interaction terms, we find that organic does not gain by combination with an animal welfare label, whereas regional labels are not associated yet with animal welfare and would profit more by including an additional informational cue. We tentatively conclude that animal welfare programs should be embedded in regional marketing programs.
