Classification of Territory on Forest Fire Danger Level Using GIS and Remote Sensing

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

The vegetation cover is the most important factor in forest fires, because it reflects the presence of forest fuels. The study of the variability of the vegetation cover, as well as observation of its condition, allows estimating the level of fire danger of the forest quarter. The work presents a geo-information system containing a set of tools to determine the level of fire danger of the forest quarter. The system is able to predict (determine the probability) and classify forest quarters according to the level of fire danger. The assessment of forest fire danger of Tomsk forestry of Tomsk region has been carried out. Fire probability maps of forest quarters were created based on remote sensing data and ArcGIS software.

Renal histamine H1 and H2 receptors: characterization and functional significance

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Canine experiments were designed to determine if both histamine H1 and H2 receptors are present in the renal circulation. Renal blood flow (RBF) increased steeply over the first minute of intra-arterial histamine infusion, then increased gradually to a plateau in 3– –5 min. Infusion of either histamine + H2 antagonist or of H1 agonist produced the initial rapid increase in RBF, whereas infusion of either histamine + H1 antagonist or of H2 antagonist produced a slower but more sustained increase in RBF. Histamine significantly increased urine flow rate (V), chloride excretion, and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Infusion of the H2 agonist also increased V and Cl excretion without affecting GFR. By contrast H1 agonist significantly reduced V and Cl excretion and tended to reduce GFR (P less than 0.1 greater than 0.05). Histamine, H1 agonist, and H2 agonist each increased inner cortical more than outer cortical blood flow. These data suggest that 1) H1 and H2 receptors are present in the renal vasculature, 2) changes in intrarenal blood flow distribution are not responsible for histamine-induced diuresis, and 3) H1 receptors are primarily postglomerular while H2 receptors exhibit both pre- and postglomerular distribution.
Approaches to the study of media and religion: Notes from the Editors of theJournal of Media and Religionwith recommendations for future research

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract As the Journal of Media and Religion (JMR) begins its seventh year, the editors pause to reflect on research directions and make recommendations for future research. Based on studies in JMR and other sources, three research approaches are identified: (1) The Proliferation of Mediated Religion, or the idea that media are creating multiple places of worship beyond the physical walls of traditional congregations, (2) Religious Audiences as Interpretive Communities, where shared interpretations of popular media content are increasingly important in understanding religious groups, and (3) Media Criticism drawing on the cultural aspects of religion in critiquing media genres and texts. A dominant theme across the three approaches is that individuals are increasingly willing to have religious experiences through media of popular culture. The numinous is recommended as an integrative concept to facilitate research of new forms of mediated religion. Notes Corresponding author. Tel.: +1 702 895 5957.

Intense Changes in the Main Source of Organic Carbon to the Gulf Coastal Plain Following the Cretaceous‐Paleogene Boundary

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Abstract To explore both environmental change and the response of non‐fossilizing phytoplankton across the Cretaceous‐Paleogene (K‐Pg) boundary mass extinction event, we determined changes in organic matter (OM) sources using a range of apolar ( n ‐alkanes, acyclic isoprenoids, steranes, and hopanes) and polar (BIT index) biomarkers. We analyzed two K‐Pg proximal sections, located in the Mississippi Embayment, Gulf Coastal Plain (USA), covering ∼300 kyrs prior to and ∼3 myrs after the K‐Pg event. The OM abundance and composition changed dramatically across the boundary. The post‐impact ejecta layer and burrowed unit are characterized by an increase in the mass accumulation rate (MAR) of plant and soil biomarkers, including high‐molecular‐weight n ‐alkanes and C 29 steranes as well as the BIT index, related to an erosive period which transported terrestrial OM to the ocean in the aftermath of the impact event. At the same time, MARs of putative aquatic biomarkers decrease (low‐molecular‐weight n ‐alkanes, C 27 steranes and pristane and phytane), which suggests a collapse of the marine phytoplankton community. The increase of terrestrial OM to the ocean, during the first 280 kyrs after the Chicxulub impact event, is a combination of reworked kerogen, soil and some plant material. Crucially, within the latter part of this erosion period, only ∼160 kyrs after the K‐Pg do biomarkers return to distributions similar to those in the upper Cretaceous, although not to pre‐impact MARs. Thus, our results suggest a long‐term interval for the full sedimentary and ecological recovery of the non‐fossilizing phytoplankton community after this event.
Expression Analysis of Apple Chitinase Gene Induced by Marssonina mali in Germplasms With Different Resistances

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Plant chitinase,one of the important pathogenesis-related(PR)proteins in plants,has the effect of resistance to fungal diseases by degradating the cell walls of fungi.In this study,leaves of apple cultivar‘Fuji',‘Qinguan'and one selection derived from their hybirdization ‘QF-2'were used as materials.With quantitative real-time PCR method,expression of apple chitinase gene MdChiin response to marssonina blotch was analysed.The results showed that MdChi gene was expressed in all these three germplasms.The expression quantity in the susceptible cultivar‘Fuji'was significantly higher than the resistant cultivar‘Qinguan'and their hybrid ‘FQ-2'.Twenty-four hours after the inoculation,the expression level in‘Fuji'leaves increased obviously,and then sharply declined.However,the expression of this gene maintained at low levels and there was no significant change in both of the resistant cultivar‘Qinguan'and the resistant hybird‘FQ-2'during 96 hours after the inoculation.
Adaptive pointcloud segmentation for assisted interactions

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

<p>In this work, we propose an interaction-driven approach streamlined to support and improve a wide range of real-time 2D interaction metaphors for arbitrarily large pointclouds based on detected primitive shapes. Rather than performing shape detection as a costly pre-processing step on the entire point cloud at once, a user-controlled interaction determines the region that is to be segmented next. By keeping the size of the region and the number of points small, the algorithm produces meaningful results and therefore feedback on the local geometry within a fraction of a second. We can apply these finding for improved picking and selection metaphors in large point clouds, and propose further novel shape-assisted.</p>

1 Goal-Oriented Intelligence in Optimization of Distributed Parameter Systems

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Models of complex systems can be differentiated by their ability to reproduce or generate system behavior, by their prediction power, by their robustness, or, conversely, by their sensitivity to inputs and parameters; by their uncertainty (if captured); and by their intelligence. Even the term “prediction ” is not unique. First, a first-principle (physically based) distributed parameter model could be an excellent predictor if (a) it captures the main system behavior, and (b) its parameters and inputs are known accurately; otherwise, it would fail, possibly drastically. Second, predictive power depends on the data, on the goal, and on the time scale. For example, scheduling of pumping and injection in an oilfield for maximum profit over the next 5 years; or pumping from a contaminated aquifer in order to maintain certain (low) concentration at a compliance point for the next 20 years, vs. prediction of plume migration in groundwater towards a nearby river, over time: in each case, the model has a slightly different expected function, as well as different intelligence type. The paper reviews the recent developments in subsurface fluid flow management such as optimization of oil production and groundwater remediation
Host-Induced Virus Modification of Murine Hepatitis Virus: Changes in Thermal Stability

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Serial tissue culture passage of two cold-sensitive mutants of murine hepatitis virus altered the thermal stability of one mutant. This phenomenon occurred in only one of the continuous cell lines tested and was reversible by multiple passages in a cell line that does not alter thermal stability. The effect was cumulative with passage and was segregated from the cold-sensitive marker.
POEMS (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, M protein, skin lesions) syndrome: a South America's report

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The POEMS syndrome, also known as Crow-Fukase syndrome, is an unusual systemic disorder described mainly in Asian individuals. It is characterized by the presence of (P)polyneuropathy, (O)organomegaly, (E)endocrinopathy, (M) M-protein, and (S) skin changes. Several other associated condictions such as sclerotic bone lesions, Castleman disease, low-grade fever, edema and hematologic disorders are usually seen. We describe five Brazilian patients with this syndrome. Two patients presented Castleman disease, one patient presented osteosclerotic myeloma and in two patients no associated conditions were found.
Waste management analysis for the nuclear fuel cycle: actinide recovery from combustible waste, October 1977-March 1978

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Evaluation of the Ce(IV)-NHO/sub 3/ system for recovery of actinides from incinerator ash is continuing. High-fired americium-traced plutonium oxide was completely solubilized in this system and recovery of actinides from incinerator ash was greater than or equal to 95%. Recovery of solubilized plutonium was done by solvent extraction using tributyl phosphate. Tervalent actinides will be recovered by a bidentate organophosphorus solvent extractant. The Ce(IV)-HNO/sub 3/ system was compared with the F/sup -/-HNO/sub 3/ system now in common use. Advantages of the former include less equipment corrosion, no volatilization of silica, and better recovery of actinide in the initial contact. However, additional contacts do not significantly improve recovery (because silica is not solubilized), and the system requires a large liquid/solid ratio for efficient actinide recovery.
Designing dependable multicore system with unreliable components

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Single core chip architecture do not scale well due to various design and reliability challenges. Multicore system with large numbers of cores are becoming common to take advantage of Moore's law. However, there exist various reliability concerns in nanoscale era due to spatial, temporal and dynamic variations. The only way to enable sustained scaling of multicore systems is to make the architecture robust by using adaptive design techniques and having redundant cores which can replace faulty ones.
Carboxymethylcellulose hydrogels support cns-derived tumor cell chemotactic migration

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

The local microenvironment plays an important role in maintaining the dynamics of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and the cell-ECM relationship. ECM is a complex network of molecules with distinct mechanical and biochemical characteristics. When the mechanisms that are in place to maintain ECM homeostasis are deregulated, most likely, this is the onset of cancer. The ECM becomes highly disorganized and the cell-matrix relationship changes, thus promoting alternations in cell mechanisms and metastasis. Medulloblastoma (MB) is one of the most common, malignant pediatric brain tumors in the United States. In order to gain a better understanding between the cell-ECM relationship and cell migratory responses in tumors we investigate 7 different types of ECM proteins via a MB-derived cell line: Poly-D-Lysine (PDL), Matrigel, Laminin, Collagen-1, Fibronectin, a 10% blend of Laminin-Collagen1, a 20% blend of Laminin-Collagen 1 and a new cellulose derived hydrogel, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). Over time, the average changes in cell morphology, in 2D and 3D, are quantified. Data reveals CMC allows for a cell-ECM relationship typically believed to present in tumors, with cell exhibiting amoeboidal morphology that is believed to indicate the ready-ness of a cell to migrate within a given environment. Further investigation into the CMC hydrogels reveal a polysaccharide that allows for chemotactic study of MB-derived Daoy cells enabling minimal haptotactic migration conducive in the mechanistic study of the cells’ chemotactic behavior. Understanding the cell-ECM relationship provides insight into their interactions and the information obtained can be utilized in studying the natural migratory patterns of cells. CMC allows for such a behavior to be studied along with testing the motility of Daoy cells because the hydrogel provides minimal integrin interaction between the cells and the ECM. This study provides insights into understanding the mechanisms behind tumor-associated migratory patterns via chemokines. The data reflects a new possibility of tackling central nervous system (CNS) diseases by utilizing a platform of natural hydrogels to generate therapies inhibiting metastasis.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Antibacterial resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae has been increasing and is one of ongoing global concern. The need to find new antibacterial agents against Streptococcus pneumoniae is of paramount importance. Medicinal plants are prospective sources of antibacterial agents. The aims of the present study were to determine the activity of leaf extraxt of Anredera cordifolia (Ten.) Steenis and Muntingia calabura L. against Streptococcus pneumoniae. Leaves of Anredera cordifolia (Ten.) Steenis were extracted using 96% ethanol, while the leaves of Muntingia calabura L were extracted using 100% methanol. The leaf extracts of the two plants obtained were bioassayed for antibacterial activity against Streptococcus pneumoniae ATCC 49619 and a clinical isolate Streptococcus pneumoniae PU 067. Results showed that leaf extracts of both Anredera cordifolia (Ten.) Steenis and Muntingia calabura L. have antibacterial activity in vitro against Streptococcus pneumoniae ATCC 49619 at crude extract concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% (w/v). Both plants extracts showed strongest activity against S. pneumoniae ATCC 49619 at extract concentration of 75%. In addition, the extracts of both plants have inhibitory activity against growth of the clinical isolate Streptococcus pneumoniae PU 067. Both plant extracts showed strongest activity against S. pneumoniae PU 067 at extract concentration of 100%. Therefore, leaf extracts of Anredera cordifolia (Ten.) Steenis and Muntingia calabura L. can potentially be used as a source of antibacterial agent for Streptococcus pneumoniae. Keywords: Antibacterial agent, Anredera cordifolia (Ten.) Steenis, Muntingia calabura L., Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Grid Connection of Large Wind Power Plants - a European Overview

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

Due to their increasing size, more and more wind farms are being connected at the transmission network level. As a result of this development, in many European countries guidelines for the connection of wind power plants to the transmission networks have been already adopted.\nGenerally, these guidelines are included in the so-called Grid Codes, but they can also be found in national legislations. Grid connection procedures are accompanied by grid connection costs that may include all or a part of the necessary transmission expansion costs. Hence, the connection of new wind farms is also influenced by the way the grid connection costs are shared between the involved parties.\nThis overview paper investigates the above mentioned issues, targeting the current situation in the European countries. Firstly, a comparison of the most common technical requirements for wind farm connection to the transmission networks is made, focusing on important features, such as: system voltage and frequency operating ranges, active power control, reactive power control, fault-ride-through capabilities and voltage support during grid faults. Secondly, the wind connection charging methods and policies adopted by the European Union countries are compared. This assessment provides an update on the degree of fragmentation and inconsistency of the technical and regulatory rules adopted for wind power connection in Europe, and also serves to emphasize the need for future harmonized approaches for the effective wind integration in the European liberalized power system. Moreover, the technical requirements survey gathers important information needed for ongoing work in wind turbine modeling. The main contributions of this paper are a systematic and easy-to-visualize comparison of the latest grid connection requirements for a large number of European countries, as well as an analysis of grid connection charging methods and policies for all the 27 European Union countries.
Synergistic Cytotoxic Effects of Resveratrol in Combination with Ceramide Metabolizing Enzymes in Ph + Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Bioactive sphingolipids are a lipid family including ceramide, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and glucosyl ceramide (GC). Ceramide produced through de novo synthesis pathway (Serine Palmitoyl Transferase (SPT) is a key enzyme subjected to regulation) plays significant roles in the induction of apoptosis. On the other hand, the conversion of ceramide into S1P and GC by sphingosine kinase 1 (SK-1) and glucosyl ceramide synthase (GCS) induce the proliferation of cancer cells. It is aimed to investigate therapeutic potential of resveratrol on Ph + ALL cells and to identify potential mechanisms behind resveratrol-mediated cytotoxicity in association with targeting of ceramide metabolism. The antiproliferative effects of resveratrol, SPT inhibitor (myriocin), SK-1 inhibitor (SKI II), GCS inhibitor (PDMP), resveratrol: SPT inhibitor, resveratrol: SK-1 inhibitor and resveratrol:GCS inhibitor combinations on SD-1 cells are investigated by cell proliferation assay. The combination indexes are calculated using Calcusyn program. There were synergistic cytotoxic effects of resveratrol with co-administration of myriocin, SK-1 inhibitor and GCS inhibitor. This preliminary data showed for the first time that resveratrol might inhibit the growth of Ph + ALL cells through targeting ceramide metabolism. Molecular studies are still undergoing to reveal the mechanisms behind this synergistic effects.
Preoperative portal vein embolization with a mixture of gelatin sponge and iodized oil: efficacy and safety

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Purpose: To evaluate whether portal vein embolization (PVE) using a mixture of gelatin sponge (GS) pieces and iodized oil is safe and effective in inducing hypertrophy of the future liver remnants (FLR). Material and Methods: PVE was performed in 14 patients (eight male and six female, mean age 65 years, range 35–81 years) diagnosed with malignant liver tumor before surgery, whose FLR volumes were judged too small to allow for safe resection. Liver volume change, biochemical data change, complications related to PVE, and postoperative complications were retrospectively evaluated. Results: PVE was successful in all patients, and there were no procedural complications. Absolute FLR volume and FLR/total liver volume (TLV) ratio increased by 102 cm 3 and 8% (mean values), respectively. Planned hepatectomies were cancelled in three patients due to extrahepatic metastasis or bile duct infection. Five of the 11 patients (45%) who underwent hepatectomies had major postoperative complications. However, complications due to hepatic failure were not seen. In 10 patients, except one whose outcome was fatal outcome, the mean hospitalization days with and without major complications were 73 and 33 days, respectively. Conclusion: PVE using a mixture of GS and iodized oil seems to be effective and safe in inducing hypertrophy of the FLR.
Prevalence of classical swine fever in Karnataka, India

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

The present study was conducted to know the current scenario of classical swine fever (CSF) in Bengaluru Urban, Bengaluru Rural, Chikkaballapur, Madikeri, Mandya, Bagalkot, Gadag, Yadgir, Koppal, and Bidar districts of Karnataka with the using of both antigen and antibody ELISA.We collected 218 sera and 121 blood samples from pigs from 10 different districts of Karnataka. Screening of sera for CSF IgG antibody and whole blood for CSF virus antigen were carried out using the CSF virus (CSFV) antibody and antigen ELISA kits, respectively.The mean seroprevalence was 41% (89/218) and prevalence of CSFV antigen in blood samples was 32% (39/121) for the 10 districts of Karnataka. Seroprevalence of 61%, 29%, 20%, and 21%; and antigen prevalence of 40%, 50%, 13%, and 12% were recorded for Bangalore, Mysore, Belgaum, and Gulbarga divisions of Karnataka, respectively.The study revealed an alarmingly high prevalence of CSF, both for the antigen (32%) and antibody (41%) in Karnataka. Southern Karnataka has the highest seroprevalence (61% in Bangalore and 29% in Mysore divisions), which confirms the endemicity of the disease in that region. This could be attributed to the intensive pig farming practices in the region as compared to Northern Karnataka (Seroprevalence of 20% in Belgaum and 21% in Gulbarga divisions), where the commercial pig farming is still in infantile stages.
