title: Data from: Seasonal and daily xylem radius variations in Scots pine are closely linked to environmental factors affecting transpiration

description: The data file (<strong>Dendrometer_data_Pisy.xlsx</strong>) contains environmental records and dendrometer data, i.e., raw data as well as calculated mean daily radial variations of the xylem and inner bark, detrended radial variations of the xylem and inner bark, and daily xylem amplitudes. <strong>Data are documented in the following article</strong>: Oberhuber W, A Gruber, G Wieser (2023) Seasonal and daily xylem radius variations in Scots pine are closely linked to environmental factors affecting transpiration<strong>. </strong>Biology, 12, 1251; doi: 10.3390/ biology12091251 <strong>Summary</strong> Diurnal and seasonal radius variations of xylem and inner bark of mature Scots pine trees (<em>Pinus sylvestris</em>; stem diameter 27±2 cm) were determined at a drought prone inner alpine site (<em>c</em>. 750 m asl; Tyrol, Austria). Point dendrometers were mounted on xylem and on living phloem (i.e., inner bark) of four trees, and xylem radius variations (XRV) were continuously recorded throughout three growing seasons (April 2019–October 2021) and related to environmental factors including air temperature (T), vapour pressure deficit of the air (VPD), relative air humidity (RH), solar radiation (SR), precipitation (P) and soil water content (SWC). While inner bark width increased due to radial stem growth (<em>c</em>. 500 µm per year), radial xylem width consistently decreased by <em>c</em>. 50 µm during the growing seasons. Results of our study revealed that daily and seasonal radial variations of the xylem and inner bark were closely linked, indicating intensive water exchange between these tissues. Comparison of XRV with environmental variables affecting transpiration revealed a close coupling of XRV to VPD, T and SR, pointing to a strong dependence of stem water status on changes in atmospheric conditions. Because VPD increases exponentially with the increase in temperature and thus causes the water content in the stem to decrease especially under drought, tree growth and mortality will be increasingly affected by climate warming.

title: Parkes observations for project P1171 semester 2023APRS_16

description: The origin of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) is still unclear with a plethora of theoretical models for their origin. Several models predict associated multi-wavelength emission, but previous searches for optical, X-ray or gamma-ray counterparts of FRBs have not led to any detection. The Galactic magnetar SGR 1935+2154A has been observed to simultaneously emit FRB-like bursts and X-ray flares, which suggests that also extragalactic FRB sources may exhibit X-ray counterparts. Because of the high cost of X-ray satellites and in face of the relatively low FRB detection probability in their small field of view, coordinated radio and X-ray observations are logistically very difficult to set up. We propose a new approach using the X-ray satellite XMM-Newton and the Parkes/Murriyang radio telescope to put constraints on the theoretical models: We aim to conduct shadowing observations with the Parkes telescope to search for new FRBs in fields that are simultaneously covered by XMM-Newton. We hereby target regular XMM observations of nearby (low-z) galaxies, to increase our detection chances of possibly associated X-ray emission. In case of an FRB detection in the radio band, we will have guaranteed simultaneous X-ray coverage and will get detailed information about the associated X-ray spectrum and light curve since all XMM-Newton data will become public a year after the observation.

title: Ploidy estimation and pre-selection of banana autotetraploids after in vitro polyploidy induction

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of the parameters fresh leaf mass and stomatal density in the estimation of ploidy and pre-selection of putative banana autotetraploids. Young plants of the diploid cultivar Ouro (AA), previously subjected to in vitro polyploidization with the antimitotic amiprofos-methyl - APM (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 60 µM L-1) and colchicine (2.5 mM L-1) were evaluated for survival, height, number of leaves, pseudostem diameter, leaf disc fresh mass, and stomatal density. Ploidy was determined by flow cytometry in a random sample of 200 plants to find the relationship between the genomic content and the analyzed variables. Spearman’s correlation analysis showed a strong correlation (0.84**) between leaf disc fresh mass and tetraploid plants, as well as an absence of significant correlation between stomatal density and ploidy levels. Thus, the pre-selection of plants was carried out using a reference value of leaf disc fresh mass and resulted in 688 plants pre-selected as putative tetraploids. Among them, 318 were confirmed as tetraploids, 291 as diploids, and 79 as mixoploids after flow cytometry analysis. The pre-selection efficiency was 46.2% of tetraploid plants from the total pre-selected. The results indicate that the use of leaf disc fresh mass is a simple, practical, and promising method to estimate ploidy when a high number of plants is obtained in in vitro banana polyploidization studies, reducing the total number of plants to have confirmed ploidy.

title: Discursive system of Periodicity in an argumentative text

description: ABSTRACT The discursive system of Periodicity, proposed by Martin (1992) and by Martin and Rose (2007) towards the analysis of discourse flow is based upon systemic functional linguistics (Halliday, 1967, 1985; Halliday; Matthiessen 2004, 2014). More precisely upon Hallidayan concepts of Theme and New information (New), in addition to concepts of thematic progression and hyperTheme (Daneš 1974) as well as texts’ methods of development and point (Fries 1981; 1995). In this study we analyze how information flows in an argumentative text to verify the relationship between different levels Themes (hyperTheme and macroThemes) and the method of development as well as their relationship with text genre and the expression of a point of view. We also looked at the relationship between New clauses and macroTheme, which focuses on the expansion of ideational meaning around the field of the text and coincides with the Reiteration of the thesis stage. Results show a simple method of development marked by a Periodicity hierarchy in which smaller discourse units are structured within greater units.

title: Concessive constructions with ‘por mais que’: a functional-discourse approach

description: ABSTRACT Following Functional Discourse Grammar model principles (Hengeveld & Mackenzie, 2008), this paper describes concessive constructions with the conjunction por mais que. Using contemporary Portuguese data, from Corpus do Português (Davies & Ferreira, 2016), this investigation pursues two specific objectives: (i) determining the status of por mais que considering a set of FDG proposals concerning the lexical/grammatical status of adverbial conjunctions; and (ii) mapping, based on FDG levels and layer, the different concessive relations signaled by this conjunction in articulating clauses. It is argued that por mais que is a Lexical Conjunction, analyzed, at Representational Level, as a one-place Configurational Property, and that it articulates three types of concessive relations: factual concessive, conditional-concessive and restrictive concessive.

title: The impact of pig breed on stress levels and meat quality: a study on mangalita purebred and Duroc x Landrace crossbred pigs in Romania

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate the impact of pig breed on stress levels and meat quality in two commercial pig farms in the north-eastern part of Romania. One farm raised 52 Mangalita pure-bred pigs and the other 82 Duroc x Landrace crossbred pigs. Serum cortisol, a biomarker of stress, and serum glucose were measured before and after slaughtering, while meat pH was measured at 45 minutes and 24 hours post-mortem. Results showed that the Duroc x Landrace crossbred pigs had higher serum cortisol and glucose values before and after slaughtering compared to the Mangalita purebred pigs. The meat pH values of the two breeds were similar, with the pH45 and pH24 values being 6.67 and 5.48 for Duroc x Landrace crossbred and 6.53 and 5.52 for Mangalita purebred, respectively. These results suggest that pig breed can have an impact on stress levels and meat quality, with Duroc x Landrace crossbred pigs showing higher stress levels and meat quality being not affected by the breed of pig. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and to understand the underlying mechanisms.

title: ADAPTED JUDO INJURY DATA

description: This is data from a adapted version of a questionnaire created by Fagher et al. (2019). The original questionnaire focused on judo-related injuries experienced by judo athletes with visual impairment and other paralympic sports. Participants were asked to provide the same demographic information as in the original: age, gender, weight class, hours of training a week and participation in other sports. However, while the original instrument asks about participants’ degree of visual impairment, in this case they were asked to indicate their ability level classification in accordance with the levels established by the Special Olympics for judo competitions for people with ID (Special Olympics, 2022), see table 1. An additional question was added to indicate whether the questionnaire had been completed by the solely by the athlete or if assistance had been provided by guardians, coaches, or other caregivers.In addition to the demographic information, participants were asked whether they had experienced injuries that had affected their normal training or competition regimen over the past year, regardless of whether the injury had led to missed training time or competitions. If participants answered affirmatively, they were then asked questions about how much training time they had lost, the type of injury they had experienced, the mechanism of injury (standing technique or tachi waza, ground technique or ne waza, or other), the body part affected and the diagnosis. In order to categorize the seriousness of the injuries in terms of time missed, this study followed the system recommended by the International Olympic Committee (Bahr et al., 2020), which establishes the following values: 0 days, 1 to 7 days, 8 to 28 days, or &gt;28 days missed. The reported injuries were categorized using a matrix for classifying musculoskeletal diagnoses into body location, type of injury and diagnosis according to the 11th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-11) (World Health Organization, 2022).On some occasions, the questionnaire was administered in person via interviews conducted at the competitions held during the data collection period, while other participants completed the instrument via an online form. Data were entered into a spreadsheet for the purposes of statistical analysis.<br>

title: Data from: Climate overrides the influence of microsite conditions on radial growth of the tall multi-stemmed shrub Alnus alnobetula at treeline

description: <strong>Data are documented in the following article:</strong> Oberhuber W., A-L. Dobler, T. Heinzle, F. Scandurra, A. Gruber, G. Wieser (2023) Climate overrides the influence of microsite conditions on radial growth of the tall multi-stemmed shrub <em>Alnus alnobetula</em> at treeline. Plants 12, 1708. doi: 10.3390/plants12081708. <strong>Summary:</strong> Green alder (<em>Alnus alnobetula</em>), a tall multi-stemmed deciduous shrub characterized by shoots showing arched ascending growth, is widespread at high elevations in the European Central Alps. Its growth form frequently leads to asymmetric radial growth and anomalous growth ring patterns making development of representative ring width series needed for analyzing climate-growth relationships or site-specific growth rates and long-term growth trends quite a challenge. In order to assess the variability among radii of one shoot, among shoots belonging to one individual (=stock) and among individuals, 60 stem discs were sampled at treeline on Mt. Patscherkofel (Tyrol, Austria). Annual increments were measured along 188 radii and analyzed in terms of its variability by applying dendrochronological techniques. Results revealed a high agreement in ring width variation among radii of one shoot, among shoots of one individual and largely among individuals from different sites, which confirms the pronounced limitation of radial stem growth by climate forcing at the alpine treeline. In contrast to this, a high variability in absolute growth rates and long-term growth trends was found among shoots belonging to one individual and among individuals, which we attribute to different microsite conditions and disturbances. These factors also override climate control of radial growth under growth limiting environmental conditions, i.e., the agreement in inter-annual variations of radial growth is directly related to the growth rate. Based on these findings we provide recommendations for the number of samples needed to carry out inter- and intra-annual studies of radial growth in this tall multi-stemmed shrub.
