PATHOGENICITY OF MICROMYCETES STRAINS ISOLATED FROM THE SOIL AND LEGUMINOUS PLANT
Creators: name: Kurkina, Yulia
Publisher: name: JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE AND ENVIRONMENT
Year: 2019

description: The leguminous crops grown on a natural infectious background in small-plot experiments at the Botanical Garden of the National Research University “BelSU” (Belgorod, Russia). The strains from rhizosphere and filloplanes of leguminous crops were identified by the method of water washes. The pathogenic properties of the isolated strains were determined by the bioassay method on seeds. The study of pathogenicity micromytcetes strains revealed that Alternaria alternata, Cunninghamella echinulata, Trichoderma lignorum had a stimulating effect on seed germination and the development of test plants of legumes, while Aspergillus niger and Bipolaris australiensis had an inhibitory effect. The species Alternaria infectoria, Fusarium heterosporum, Stemphylium solani, Ulocladium botrytis possessed a non-pathogenic property to perennial legume grasses, and in one degree or another caused inhibition of the development of annual legumes.

description: We investigate the multi-wavelength emission of BzK selected star forming galaxies at z~2 in the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) North region. Most (82%) of the sources are individually detected at 24um in the Spitzer MIPS imaging, and one fourth (26%) in the VLA radio data. Significant detections of the individually undetected objects are obtained through stacking in the radio, submm and X-ray domains. The typical star forming galaxy with stellar mass ~10^{11}Mo at z=2 is an Ultra-luminous Infrared Galaxy (ULIRG), with L_IR ~ 1-2x10^{12}Lo and star formation rate SFR 200-300Mo/yr, implying a comoving density of ULIRGs at z=2 at least 3 orders of magnitude above the local one. SFRs derived from the reddening corrected UV luminosities agree well, on average, with the longer wavelength estimates. The high 24um detection rate suggests a relatively large duty cycle for the BzK star forming phase, consistently with the available independent measurements of the space density of passively evolving galaxies at z>1.4. If the IMF at z=2 is similar to the local one, and in particular is not a top-heavy IMF, this suggests that a substantial fraction of the high mass tail (>10^{11}Mo) of the galaxy stellar mass function was completed by z~1.4.

DEFENSIVE MECHANISMS OF A RHIZOBIA - INFECTED LEGUME
Creators: name: Glyanko, Anatolij
Publisher: name: JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE AND ENVIRONMENT
Year: 2019

description: The data on the defensive mechanisms of a legume plant infected with nodule bacteria (rhizobia) have been summarized. The participation of plant defensive systems MTI (MAMP-triggered immunity) and ETI (effector-triggered immunity) in counteracting rhizobia invasion as probable pathogens into root tissues at the initial stages of organisms interaction, and later on as a regulating mechanism of root rhizobial infection is asserted. The plant ability to block rhizobia invasion into plant’s other organs (for instance, pea epicotyls) is stated. A notion of legume local and systemic resistance to rhizobial infection is proposed. In the first case rhizobia suppress immune response of plant root cells; in the second – enhance plant resistance to rhizobia. The role of Nod-factors of rhizobia (NFs) and interacting plant receptors in blocking root defensive reactions and triggering signal cascade within nodule organogenesis is considered. It is concluded that innate legume cell immunity actively participates in formation and functioning of legume-rhizobial symbiosis.

A Lightweight Neural Network for Monocular View Generation with Occlusion Handling
Creators: name: Evain, Simon

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: In this article, we present a very lightweight neural network architecture, trained on stereo data pairs, which performs view synthesis from one single image. With the growing success of multi-view formats, this problem is indeed increasingly relevant. The network returns a prediction built from disparity estimation, which fills in wrongly predicted regions using a occlusion handling technique. To do so, during training, the network learns to estimate the left-right consistency structural constraint on the pair of stereo input images, to be able to replicate it at test time from one single image. The method is built upon the idea of blending two predictions: a prediction based on disparity estimation, and a prediction based on direct minimization in occluded regions. The network is also able to identify these occluded areas at training and at test time by checking the pixelwise left-right consistency of the produced disparity maps. At test time, the approach can thus generate a left-side and a right-side view from one input image, as well as a depth map and a pixelwise confidence measure in the prediction. The work outperforms visually and metric-wise state-of-the-art approaches on the challenging KITTI dataset, all while reducing by a very significant order of magnitude (5 or 10 times) the required number of parameters (6.5 M).

Baryon resonances from chiral coupled-channel dynamics

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We discuss the formation of s- and d-wave baryon resonances as predicted by the chiral SU(3) symmetry of QCD. Based on the leading order term of the chiral Lagrangian a rich spectrum of molecules is generated, owing to final-state interactions. The spectrum of s- and d-wave baryon states with zero and non-zero charm is remarkably consistent with the empirical pattern. In particular, the recently announced Sigma_c(2800) of the BELLE collaboration is reproduced with realistic mass and width parameters. Similarly, the d-wave states Lambda_c(2625) and Xi_c(2815) are explained naturally to be chiral excitations of J^P=3/2^+ states. In the open-charm sector exotic multiplet structures are predicted. These findings support a radical conjecture: meson and baryon resonances that do not belong to the large-N_c ground state of QCD should be viewed as hadronic molecular states
A Look at Food Price Elasticities and Flexibilities

description: The matrices of food price elasticities and flexibilities derived from a complete food demand system approach are theoretical consistent and reciprocal with each other. The statistical estimates, however, show that by using the inverted elasticities to represent flexibilities or vice versa, cause sizable measurement errors. For agricultural policy and program analyses, directly estimated food price elasticities and flexibilities should be used.
Attraction of like-charged macroions in the strong-coupling limit

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: Like-charged macroions attract each other as a result of strong electrostatic correlations in the presence of multivalent counterions or at low temperatures. We investigate the effective electrostatic interaction between i) two like-charged rods and ii) two like-charged spheres using the recently introduced strong-coupling theory, which becomes asymptotically exact in the limit of large coupling parameter (i.e. for large counterion valency, low temperature, or high surface charge density on macroions). Since we deal with curved surfaces, an additional parameter, referred to as Manning parameter, is introduced, which measures the ratio between the radius of curvature of macroions to the Gouy-Chapman length and controls the counterion-condensation process that directly affects the effective interactions. For sufficiently large Manning parameters (weakly-curved surfaces), we find a strong long-ranged attraction between two macroions that form a closely-packed bound state with small surface-to-surface separation of the order of the counterion diameter in agreement with recent simulations. For small Manning parameters (highly-curved surfaces), on the other hand, the equilibrium separation increases and the macroions unbind from each other as the confinement volume increases to infinity. This occurs via a continuous universal unbinding transition for two charged rods at a threshold Manning parameter of 2/3, while the transition is discontinuous for spheres because of a pronounced potential barrier at intermediate distances.

description: It were studied the enzymatic activity, the microbial population and the intensity of nitrification, ammonification, CO2 emission and cellulose decomposition in gray-brown, meadow-sierozemic, alluvial meadow-forest and yellow-gley (zheltozem) soils in the subtropical zone of Azerbaijan under vegetable cultures in crop rotation and permanent crops. On this basis, the biological diagnostics of these soils were suggested and the soil ecological health was evaluated. It was shown that properly chosen crop rotation systems on irrigated lands make it possible to preserve the fertility of the meadow-forest alluvial and zheltozem-gley soils and to improve the fertility of the gray-brown and meadow-sierozemic soils.

description: Aims: We provide an open-source code allowing an easy, intuitive, and robust normalisation of spectra. Methods: We developed RASSINE, a Python code for normalising merged 1D spectra through the concepts of convex hulls. The code uses six parameters that can be easily fine-tuned. The code also provides a complete user-friendly interactive interface, including graphical feedback, that helps the user to choose the parameters as easily as possible. To facilitate the normalisation even further, RASSINE can provide a first guess for the parameters that are derived directly from the merged 1D spectrum based on previously performed calibrations. Results: For HARPS spectra of the Sun that were obtained with the HELIOS solar telescope, a continuum accuracy of 0.20% on line depth can be reached after normalisation with RASSINE. This is three times better than with the commonly used method of polynomial fitting. For HARPS spectra of $α$ Cen B, a continuum accuracy of 2.0% is reached. This rather poor accuracy is mainly due to molecular band absorption and the high density of spectral lines in the bluest part of the merged 1D spectrum. When wavelengths shorter than 4500 Åare excluded, the continuum accuracy improves by up to 1.2%. The line-depth precision on individual spectrum normalisation is estimated to be 0.15%, which can be reduced to the photon-noise limit (0.10%) when a time series of spectra is given as input for RASSINE. Conclusions: With a continuum accuracy higher than the polynomial fitting method and a line-depth precision compatible with photon noise, RASSINE is a tool that can find applications in numerous cases, for example stellar parameter determination, transmission spectroscopy of exoplanet atmospheres, or activity-sensitive line detection.

description: This paper explores how farm productivity affects poverty, and how various factor market constraints affect farm productivity. The empirical analysis draws on representative surveys of farm households in Kilimanjaro and Ruvuma, two cash crop growing regions in Tanzania. We find that poorer households do not only possess fewer assets, but are also much less productive. We find that agricultural productivity directly affects household consumption and hence overall poverty and welfare. Stochastic production frontier analysis indicates that many farmers are farming well below best practice in the region. Analysis of allocative efficiency suggests that family labour is substantially over utilized, a sign of considerable excess labour supply. Use of intermediate inputs on the other hand is well below what is commensurate with the estimated value of their marginal productivities. An important reason for low input use is lack of credit to purchase inputs, but difficult access to the inputs themselves, being connected to the economy, and food security and self insurance considerations are also important impediments. Easy access to credit is positively associated with being a member of a savings association or being in a contractual arrangement with a cooperative or firm. The findings support a continuing emphasis on increasing agricultural productivity in designing poverty reduction policies. Better agronomic practices and increased input use will be crucial in this strategy. Financial constraints might be relieved through fostering institutional arrangements facilitating contract enforcement and institutions that facilitate saving by the households themselves. They may also be relieved by the provision of more adequate consumption safety nets.

PLANT BIOMASS AS NATURAL SOURCE OF HIGH-QUALITY SOLID BIOFUEL
Creators: name: Ioelovich, Michael
Publisher: name: JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE AND ENVIRONMENT
Year: 2019

description: The purpose of this study was to obtain high-quality pellets from natural biomass sources with improved fuel properties and durability. Two biomass types, namely residues of mixed coniferous wood and olive pomace, were selected as feedstock for this purpose. It was found that olive pomace is a promising natural source for the production of fuel pellets. The chosen biomasses were used for pelletization along with auxiliary materials, such as starch, polyvinyl acetate (PVA) and pine wood resin (PWR). The milled biomass samples and their mixtures with binders were compacted under increased pressure and temperature, and then cooled. Besides, part of the pellets was coated with layer of hydrophobic agent, such as melt of PWR. The pellets were studied by methods of calorimetry, water vapor sorption and durability testing. The results have shown that fuel characteristics of the pellets containing starch binder were lesser than those of coals; moreover both fuel properties and durability of these pellets were reduced after sorption of water vapor. The use of hydrophobic binder (PVA) improves durability of the pellets, whereas the additional coating with PWR layer allows obtaining the especial high-quality pellets with high fuel properties and high durability both in dry and wet state. As a result, the energetic features of these especial solid biofuels become comparable with those of fossil coals.

description: We present high-resolution UV spectra of absorption-line systems toward the low-z QSO HS0624+6907 (z=0.3700). Coupled with spectroscopic galaxy redshifts, we find that many of these absorbers are integalactic gas clouds distributed within large-scale structures. The gas is cool (T<10^5 K) and has relatively high metallicity (Z/Z_sol>0.9). STIS data reveal a cluster of 13 HI Lyman alpha lines within a 1000 km/s interval at z=0.0635. We find 10 galaxies at this redshift with impact parameters ranging from 135 h^-1 kpc to 1.37 h^-1 Mpc. We attribute the HI Lya absorptions to intragroup medium gas, possibly from a large-scale filament viewed along its long axis. Remarkably, the metallicity is near-solar, [M/H] = -0.05 +/- 0.4 (2 sigma uncertainty), yet the nearest galaxy which might pollute the IGM is at least 135 h_70^-1 kpc away. Tidal stripping from nearby galaxies appears to be the most likely origin of this highly enriched, cool gas. More than six Abell galaxy clusters are found within 4 degree of the sight line suggesting that the QSO line of sight passes near a node in the cosmic web. At z~0.077, we find absorption systems as well as galaxies at the redshift of the nearby clusters Abell 564 and Abell 559. We conclude that the sight line pierces a filament of gas and galaxies feeding into these clusters. The absorber at z_abs = 0.07573 associated with Abell 564/559 also has a high metallicity with [C/H] > -0.6, but again the closest galaxy is relatively far from the sight line (293 h^-1 kpc).

In the case of treatment of barley seeds with 30 times diluted supernatants of culture liquid Nocardia vacсinii IMV В-7405, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus IMV B-7241 and Rhodococcus erythropolis IMV Ас-5017 yield increased by 58.55, 69.23 and 83.3%, respectively, compared with water seed treatment. The positive influence of extracellular exometabolites of surfactants producers on the yields of barley and tomatoes is the basis for the development of the technology of obtaining microbial preparations for application in crop production using cheap industrial wastes.

description: In this paper we are investigating how production risk may influence the way a risk averse producer like a subsistence farmer chooses optimal input levels. Risk averse producers will take into account both the mean and the variance of output, and therefore we expect them to choose input levels which differ form the optimal input level of risk neutral producers. Production risk is of particular importance in developing countries, since variance in production here may have grave consequences for the farmer and his family. To model the production decision problem under such circumstances we have made use of the fact that production risk can be treated as heteroskedasticity. Our analysis is based on a dataset obtained from a survey on smallholders in the Kilimanjaro region in Tanzania. Since evidence of output risk in inputs is found, we reestimate the mean and variance function using a maximum likelihood estimator, and correct the standard errors to provide valid inference.

description: Rice resistance to soil and water salinity plays an important role in agriculture, as it affects the productivity of plants in areas with high salt content. This article provides information on the identification of samples with the Saltol tolerance gene from hybrid rice populations obtained from hybridization of the Russian variety Novator with Asian donors of this gene. In laboratory analysis of salt resistance, rice seeds were germinated in glasses with a 1.5% solution of table salt and distilled water. The ratio of the mass of young 10-day plants in the experiment to the control was used as an indicator of stability. In the course of the work, samples tolerant to salinization were selected. PCR analysis showed that most of them contained the gene Saltol in their genotype. The best lines were tested for productivity in the field on plots of 25 m2 in 2-fold repetition. The elements of the crop structure are also studied. Two samples 7328/17 and 7322/17 from a combination of IR-52713-2B-8-2B- 1-2 x Novator in an average of two years showed a yield of 6.82-7.53 t/ha, while the variety-standard Uzhanin – 6.25 t/ha). The increase was 0.57-1.28 t/ha.

description: Historically, photometry has been largely used to identify stellar populations (MPs) in Globular Clusters (GCs) by using diagrams that are based on colours and magnitudes that are mostly sensitive to stars with different metallicities or different abundances of helium, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. In particular, the pseudo two-colour diagram called chromosome map (ChM), allowed the identification and the characterization of MPs in about 70 GCs by using appropriate filters of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) that are sensitive to the stellar content of He, C, N, O and Fe. We use here high-precision HST photometry from F275W, F280N, F343N, F373N, and F814W images of Omega Centauri to investigate its MPs. We introduce a new ChM whose abscissa and ordinate are mostly sensitive to stellar populations with different magnesium and nitrogen, respectively, in monometallic GCs. This ChM is effective in disentangling the MPs based on their Mg chemical abundances, allowing us to explore, for the first time, possible relations between the production of these elemental species for large samples of stars in GCs. By comparing the colours of the distinct stellar populations with the colours obtained from appropriate synthetic spectra we provide 'photometric-like' estimates of the chemical composition of each population. Our results show that, in addition to first generation (1G) stars, the metal-poor population of Omega Centauri hosts four groups of second-generation stars with different [N/Fe], namely, 2GA--D. 2GA stars share nearly the same [Mg/Fe] as the 1G, whereas 2GB, 2GC and 2GD stars are Mg depleted by ~0.15, ~0.25 and ~0.45 dex, respectively. We provide evidence that the metal-intermediate populations host stars with depleted [Mg/Fe].

The algebraic study of spin chains with different types of boundary terms is used to motivate a set of spectral equivalences between integrable chains with purely diagonal boundary terms and ones with an arbitrary non-diagonal term at one end. For each choice of diagonal boundary terms there is an isospectral one-boundary problem and vice-versa. The quantum group SU_q (N) symmetry is broken by the presence of a non-diagonal boundary term however one can use the spectral equivalence with the diagonal chain to easily understand the residual symmetries of the system.

description: The succession of microbial community structure and function is a central ecological topic, as microbes drive the Earth’s biogeochemical cycles and are responsible for the regulation of the gaseous composition of the atmosphere, the processes of soils formation and their resistance to natural and anthropogenic factors. To elucidate the response and mechanistic underpinnings of soil methane-oxidizing microbial community structure and metabolic potential relevant to natural forest succession on gray forest soils of Moscow region from farming through the fallows of different ages (5-25 years) to a forest biocenosis was studied. Highest methane oxidation was observed from older restored sites it’s recovery with restoration age. Molecular analyses indicate the presence of aerobic type I and type II groups of methanotrophs in arable and meadow sites and only type II methanotophs in forested sites. Collectively, these data indicate shifts in microbial populations associated with methane oxidation in the context of soil restoration age, and provide significant insights into the response of these microbial populations to severe disturbance and recovery.

description: The analysis of price transmission in transition countries is complicated by their often unstable policy environments. We utilise a Markov-switching vector error correction model (MSVECM) to allow for multiple regime shifts in the price relationship between wheat and wheat flour in Ukraine from June 2000 to November 2004. The analysis reveals four regimes. The observed temporal pattern of these regimes corresponds well to political and economic events in Ukraine. In particular, we find a strong link between a 'high uncertainty' regime and discretionary policy interventions in 2003, confirming that ad hoc policy responses to fluctuations in Ukrainian grain harvests have tended to increase rather than reduce instability. The Markov-switching VECM is shown to be a useful addition to the set of tools that can be used to analyse price transmission.

description: We describe the design and in--flight performance of the cryostat and the self-contained $^{3}$He refrigerator for the OLIMPO balloon--borne experiment, a spectrophotometer to measure the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect in clusters of galaxies. The $^{3}$He refrigerator provides the 0.3 K operation temperature for the four arrays of kinetic inductance detectors working in 4 bands centered at 150, 250, 350 and 460 GHz. The cryostat provides the 1.65 K base temperature for the $^{3}$He refrigerator, and cools down the reimaging optics and the filters chain at about 2 K. The integrated system was designed for a hold time of about 15 days, to achieve the sensitivity required by the planned OLIMPO observations, and successfully operated during the first long-duration stratospheric flight of OLIMPO in July 2018. The cryostat features two tanks, one for liquid nitrogen and the other one for liquid helium. The long hold time has been achieved by means of custom stiff G10 fiberglass tubes support, which ensures low thermal conductivity and remarkable structural stiffness; multi--layer superinsulation, and a vapour cooled shield, all reducing the heat load on the liquid helium tank. The system was tested in the lab, with more than 15 days of unmanned operations, and then in the long duration balloon flight in the stratosphere. In both cases, the detector temperature was below 300 mK, with thermal stability better than $\pm$ 0.5 mK. The system also operated successfully in the long duration stratospheric balloon flight.

description: We demonstrate that networks of locally connected processing units with a primitive learning capability exhibit behavior that is usually only attributed to quantum systems. We describe networks that simulate single-photon beam-splitter and Mach-Zehnder interferometer experiments on a causal, event-by-event basis and demonstrate that the simulation results are in excellent agreement with quantum theory. We also show that this approach can be generalized to simulate universal quantum computers.

description: This research studies the effects on income and employment when externally imposed policies constrain use of common forest resources. Using a mixed-integer linear programming model, the study examines the impacts of conservation-oriented community forest policies in Nepal on three household income groups. The results show that current community forest policies, which direct forest use towards environment conservation and timber production, cause large reductions in employment and income of the poorest households and largely explain the recent increase in rural poverty.

description: Due to the lack of natural woody vegetation on flat or elevated relief elements, protective afforestation is associated with the introduction of tree species of foreign origin. Uncontrolled process of enrichment of protective forest plantations woody plants in forest-poor regions leads to invasion. The goal is the development of regulations for the selection of woody plants to safely enhance the biodiversity of protective forest plantations in the steppe and semi-desert. It was revealed that the cluster dendrological sites of the Federal Scientific Centre of Agroecology, Complex Melioration and Protective Afforestation of Russian Academy of Sciences (FSC of Agroecology RAS) serve as a testing ground with a controlled territory for safe testing of plants. The object of research was 600 taxa, of different geographical origin and age. For defensive forest plantations of degraded ecosystems (Volgograd, Samara Oblast) 168 species of trees and shrubs are recommended. The results of studies of generic complexes are the basis for the scheme for analyzing the prospects of woody plants and for selecting an economically important range. In dry steppe conditions, economically important groups from families Rosaceae, Caprifoliaceae, Oleaceae, Fabaceae are recommended for increasing biodiversity. The regulation includes the creation of a stock of planting stock. It is based on ecological compatibility, economic suitability, innovative assortment. Monitoring of experimental populations forming a self-seeding was carried out. In arid conditions, safe methods of reproduction of woody plants have been identified. An algorithm for quantitative and qualitative improvement of the assortment of woody plants has been developed to select the best possible option and the criteria for regulating the sustainable use of the biodiversity of woody plants. They include introduction, selection, seed production and tested at the sites of the study area.

From Bioeconomic Farm Models to Multi-Agent Systems: Challenges for Parameterization and Validation

description: Bioeconomic farm models have been very instrumental in capturing the technical aspects of human-nature interactions and in highlighting the economic consequences of resource use changes. They may elucidate the tradeoffs that farm households face in crop choice and farming practices, assess the profitability of various land-use options and capture the internal costs of adjusting to changes in environmental and market conditions. But they face also limitations when it comes to analyzing situations, in which heterogeneity of households and landscapes is large and increasing. Multi-agent models building on the bioeconomic farm approach hold the promise of capturing more fully the heterogeneity and interactions of farm households. The fulfillment of this promise, however, depends on the empirical parameterization and validation of multi-agent models. Although multi-agent models have been widely applied in experimental and hypothetical settings, only few studies have tried to build empirical multi-agent models and the literature on methods of parameterization and validation is therefore limited. This paper suggests novel methods for the empirical parameterization and validation of multiagent models that may comply with the high standards established in bioeconomic farm modeling. The biophysical measurements (here: soil properties) are extrapolated over the landscape using multiple regressions and a Digital Elevation Model. The socioeconomic surveys are used to estimate probability functions for key characteristics of human actors, which are then assigned to the model agents with Monte-Carlo techniques. This approach generates a landscape and agent populations that are robust and statistically consistent with empirical observations.

description: The quality of opponent Artificial Intelligence (AI) in fighting videogames is crucial. Some other game genres can rely on their story or visuals, but fighting games are all about the adversarial experience. In this paper, we will introduce standard behavior algorithms in videogames, such as Finite-State Machines and Behavior Trees, as well as more recent developments, such as Monte-Carlo Tree Search. We will also discuss the existing and potential combinations of these algorithms, and how they might be used in fighting games. Since we are at the financial peak of fighting games, both for casual players and in tournaments, it is important to build and expand on fighting game AI, as it is one of the pillars of this growing market.

MgII Absorption through Intermediate Redshift Galaxies

description: The current status and remaining questions of MgII absorbers are reviewed with an eye toward new results incorporating high quality Hubble Space Telescope images of the absorbing galaxies. In the end, we find that our current picture of extended gaseous regions around galaxies at earlier epochs is in need of some revision; MgII absorbing "halos" appear to be patchier and their geometry less regular than previously inferred. We also find that the so-called "weak" MgII absorbers are associated with normal galaxies over a wide range of impact parameters, suggesting that this class of absorber does not strictly select low surface brightness, dwarf galaxies, or IGM material. We emphasize the need for a complete survey of the galaxies in quasar fields, and the importance of obtaining rotation curves of confirmed absorbing galaxies.
