Full textAbstract:
Big vein is an economically damaging disease of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) caused by the Olpidium brassicae-vectored Mirafiori lettuce big-vein virus (MLBVV). Lettuce big-vein associated virus (LBVaV) is also frequently identified in symptomatic plants, but no causal relationship has been demonstrated. Although big vein is a perennial problem in the United States, the extent of MLBVV and LBVaV infection and diversity is unknown. Lettuce cultivars partially resistant to big vein reduce losses, but do not eliminate disease. While Lactuca virosa does not develop big vein symptoms, it has not been tested for infection with MLBVV or LBVaV. Lettuce cultivars Great Lakes 65, Pavane, Margarita, and L. virosa accession IVT280 were evaluated for big vein incidence and virus infection in inoculated greenhouse trials. Additional lettuce samples were collected from field sites in California, classified for symptom severity, and evaluated for virus infection. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and nucleotide sequencing were used to determine infection with MLBVV and LBVaV, and sequence diversity among viral isolates, respectively. Infections with MLBVV and MLBVV/LBVaV were dependent on big vein symptom expression in California production areas, and isolates were closely related to those found in Europe and Japan. Partial big vein resistance was identified in Margarita and Pavane; however, MLBVV infection was found in asymptomatic plants. L. virosa IVT280 remained symptomless and virus free, suggesting that it is immune to MLBVV and LBVaV.

New diatom species from the genus Cymbella is described, Cymbella pavanaensis from the Pavana River situated in Pimpri-Chinchwad, Pune, Maharashtra, India. The new species description is based on detailed LM and SEM morphological observations. Comparison of the new species with similar, previously-described taxa is made. C. pavanaensis belongs to a group of small-celled species of the genus, which lack differentiated, rounded porelli comprising the apical pore fields. This taxon is reported from a moderately to the highly-polluted urban lotic system, which signifies that even the diatom flora of easily accessible habitats of India is yet to be fully documented.

Full textAbstract:
Heat waves and drought stress are typical aspects of current climate change, significantly affecting the grapevine physiology in many world growing areas. Biostimulants can play an important role in reducing the negative effects of climate change; that’s why this experiment was set up in order to test two new foliar biostimulants (protein hydrolysates of plant origin). The field experiment was carried out in 2017 and 2018 in Oltrepo pavese area (Lombardia region, northwest Italy, 270 m asl), on a six-year-old vineyard of V. vinifera L. cv. Merlot clone 181 grafted on Gravesac, Guyot trellis, 4,000 vines/ha and not irrigated. Two new protein hydrolysates of plant origin were sprayed twice, just after fruit set and 15 days later, by using 2.5 L/ha. Leaf proteomics and metabolomics were studied in 2017, while productive and qualitative data were recorded in both years at harvest (September 1st, 2017 and August 28th 2018). The most significant findings were: (a) the treatments slowed down the grape ripening, by stimulating vegetative activity and reducing sugar accumulation; (b) less heat and drought stress symptoms were observed in the canopies of treated vines, as compared to the control ones.

AbstractAn integrated hydrochemical and geophysical study of the saline paleo-water uprising into the alluvial aquifer of the Oltrepò Pavese plain sector (Po Plain, northern Italy) is presented. This study involved hydrochemical analysis of groundwater, assessment of well logs, and one-, two- and three-dimensional electrical geophysical surveys. The studied area was selected for its characteristic hydrogeological setting. The alluvial aquifer is strongly conditioned by the presence of a buried tectonic discontinuity along which the saline waters are mainly distributed. These waters rise along the discontinuities in the bedrock and flow into the overlying alluvial aquifer. Contamination from saline waters is not spatially and vertically homogeneous within the aquifer. The spatial distribution of Na–Cl waters suggests the existence of plumes of highly mineralized waters that locally reach the aquifer, diffuse and mix with freshwaters. The saline waters show a dilution during upward migration, which is due to mixing with the shallow fresh groundwater. Highly mineralized groundwater is identified even at very shallow depth in correspondence with each plume. On the other hand, there is a lower degree of contamination in those sectors of the aquifer that are further away from the structural discontinuities and this lesser contamination generally only involves the deeper parts of the aquifer.

Full textAbstract:
The growing concern over the effect of atmosphere dispersion resulted from radioactive material was noticeable. This paper demonstrated the variance of atmosphere dispersion factor for accident release from nuclear power plant through running PAVAN (Atmospheric Dispersion of Radioactive Releases from Nuclear Power Plants) model. Also, we investigated the effect of release height (short for H) on atmosphere dispersion factor and compared the correlation between atmosphere dispersion factor and dispersion distance. Our results showed that atmosphere dispersion factor would descend with increased release height. As dispersion distance increasing, the tendency of atmosphere dispersion factor expressed complicated status caused by the difference of wind direction. It was illustrated that the phenomena was caused by the integrated action between the wind direction and release height. The probability distribution of atmosphere dispersion factor also validated that the distribution was depend on the wind direction. Probability analysis indicated that the atmosphere dispersion factor under H=100m was overall less than that under H=75m.

Full textAbstract:
La construction du diagramme de Voronoi est un problème fondamental de l'algorithmique géométrique et a des applications en cristallographie, en physique, en chimie, en climatologie, en géographie et en informatique. Etant donné un ensemble fini S de n points dans le plan ou dans l'espace tridimensionnel E on associe à chaque point s de S l'ensemble V(s) des points de E plus proches de s que de tous les autres sites de S. Les ensembles V(s) définissent un diagramme appelé le diagramme de Voronoi de S. Le dual géométrique de ce diagramme est appelé le diagramme de Delaunay et est noté Del(S). Un algorithme, variante des algorithmes de Lee et Schachter, Guibas et Stolfi, de construction de ces diagrammes en O(nlogn) dans le plan utilisant les cartes est présenté. La notion de pavage qui généralise à l'espace celle de la carte est utilisée pour l'algorithme de construction des diagrammes dans l'espace. Cet algorithme est en O(n2) ce qui est optimal. Il résoud tous les cas particuliers et détermine le diagramme de Delaunay et non une tétraédrisation qui le raffine. Nos algorithmes sont, en plus, robustes. Ils utilisent des approximations géométriques de nature angulaire et permettent d'avoir pour toute similitude T, T(Del(S)) = Del(T(S))

Full textAbstract:
La première partie de cette thèse est centrée sur le problème de l'existence et de l'exhibition effective de pavages de figures finies du PLDAN, avec deux barres (l'une horizontale HM, l'autre verticale VN) avec l'idée de produire des algorithmes de pavages de complexité satisfaisante (linéaire). Nous donnons d'abord trois algorithmes de pavage par H2 et V2 : le premier très général est une conséquence directe de la théorie des couplages d'un graphe; le second permet de paver en temps linéaire toute figure horizontalement convexe. Enfin, nous indiquons un algorithme de pavage d'une figure sans trou, du A W. P. Thurston. Dans le cas général, nous donnons un algorithme de pavage des trapèzes. En introduisant la notion de col, nous donnons un algorithme de pavage des figures horizontalement convexes. Ce même algorithme se généralise à une classe de figures plus grande (figures sans pont). Dans la deuxième partie, nous reprenons les travaux de P. Rosensthiel et de A. Wu et A. Rosenfeld sur la reconnaissance de graphes sous-jacents à un réseau d'automates : nous généralisons la reconnaissance d'un rectangle aux structures classiques : tore, cylindre, moebius et sphère. Pour ce faire, nous avons introduit des méthodes (dans un espace discret) analogues à celles de la géométrie différentielle

Full textAbstract:
Dans cette thèse, nous construisons des pavages de la droite réelle et du demi-plan hyperbolique à l’aide de représentants efficaces d’automorphismes IWIP du groupe libre Fn. Dans un premier temps, nous utilisons la substitution définie par P. Arnoux, V. Berthé, A. Siegel, A. Hilion associée à un représentant efficace d’un automorphisme IWIP pour générer des espaces de pavages substitutifs apériodiques de la droite réelle. Nous montrons, en nous servant d’un théorème de connexité des représentants efficaces d’automorphismes IWIP dû à J. Los, que le type topologique de ces espaces de pavages est indépendant du choix du représentant. Nous associons ainsi, à homéomorphisme près, un espace de pavages de la droite réelle à une classe d’automorphisme externe IWIP de Fn, puis à une classe de conjugaison d’un élément IWIP dans Out(Fn). D’autre part, nous construisons à partir des éléments de l’espace de pavage de la droite réelle précédemment construits des pavages faiblement apériodiques pour le groupe des transformations affines du demi-plan hyperbolique. Nous étudions les propriétés topologiques et dynamiques de ces espaces de pavages du plan hyperbolique. Enfin, dans une dernière partie, nous montrons que les espaces de pavages précédemment construits peuvent être munis d’une structure lisse en se servant de leur structure de limite projectiveIn this thesis, we construct tilings of the real line and the hyperbolic half-plane using train-track maps of IWIP free group automorphisms. One the one hand, we use a substitution defined by P. Arnoux, V. Berthé, A. Siegel, A. Hilion coming from a train-track map of a IWIP free group automorphism to generate substitutive aperiodic tilings of the real line. We show, thanks to a theorem of J. Los about connectivity of train-track representatives of an IWIP automorphism, that the topological type of those tiling spaces is the same up to a choice of train-track representative. Thus we associate, up to an homeomorphism, a tiling space of the real line to a class of an IWIP outer automorphism of Fn, then we extend this result to a conjugacy class of an IWIP element in Out(Fn). On the other hand, we construct from elements of tiling spaces of the real line previously defined, a set of weakly aperiodic for the affine group tilings of the hyperbolic half-plane. We study topological et dynamical properties of the tiling space generated by those hyperbolic tilings. Finally, in the last section we endow tiling spaces previously constructed with a smooth structure thanks to their inverse limit structure

Full textAbstract:
Nous étudions dans ce mémoire les propriétés des ensembles de pavages engendrés par des jeux de tuiles de Wang exhibant une ou plusieurs directions de déterminisme local, en accordant une importance toute particulière aux jeux déterministes dans les quatre directions diagonales simultanément, dits 4-way déterministes. Après avoir proposé une construction alternative d’un jeu de tuiles apériodique 4-way déterministe, nous étudions plusieurs problèmes de décision sur ces objets et complétons en particulier le résultat d’indécidabilité du problème du pavage dans le cadre 4-way déterministe établi par Lukkarila en montrant l’indécidabilité du problème du pavage périodique 4-way déterministe. Nous montrons également que des familles complexes de coloriages du plan telles que celles engendrées par les substitutions restent sofiques dans un cadre 4-way déterministe. Nous proposons une bi-déterminisation des constructions de jeux de tuiles point-fixe de Durand, Romashchenko et Shen et en tirons quelques premières applications. Enfin, nous considérons l’opportunité d’élargir le rayon de la règle locale de déterminisme afin de limiter les directions d’expansivité et ainsi de permettre la construction localement déterministe de systèmes de particules et collisions non triviaux. Nous introduisons un nouveau modèle syntaxique commode afin de travailler à rayon deux et revisitons des problématiques de Lukkarila dans ce cadreIn this thesis, we study some properties of the sets of tilings generated by Wang tilesets that exhibit one or more directions of local determinism, focusing in particular on tilesets that are simultaneously deterministic in the four diagonal directions, referred to as 4-way deterministic. After having exposed an alternative construction of a 4-way deterministic aperiodic tileset, we study several decision problems on these objects and complete in particular Lukkarila’s result of undecidability of the Domino Problem in the 4-way deterministic setting proving the undecidability of the 4-way deterministic periodic Domino Problem. We also prove that some complex families of colorings of the plane such that those generated by substitutions remain sofic in the 4-way deterministic setting. We propose a bi-determinization of the constructions by Durand, Romashchenko and Shen of fixed-point tilesets and give some first applications. Finally, we investigate the idea of extending the radius of the local rule of determinism in order to reduce the set of directions of expansiveness and thus allow the local realization of non-trivial particles and collisions systems. We introduce a new and convenient syntactic model to deal with radius two and revisit some of Lukkarila’s problems in this setting

Cette thèse est une contribution à l'étude de problèmes de pavages par des dominos. Nous montrons comment élargir au cas d'un polyomino avec des trous la méthode de Thurston qui permet de paver en temps linéaire un polyomino sans trous par des dominos. Nous présentons un algorithme de pavage de complexité O(kn) pour un polyomino avec n cellules et k trous. En particulier, cet algorithme est linéaire pour un polyomino avec un nombre borné de trous. Nous exposons aussi l'état de nos recherches sur le problème du pavage de cardinalité maximale et, plus généralement, sur celui du couplage maximum dans un graphe biparti plan. Nous présentons un algorithme original de couplage dont la complexité reste encore à déterminer. Nous considérons enfin le problème de la reconstruction du pavage d'un rectangle à partir de ses projections orthogonales. Ce problème connu depuis une dizaine d'années restait non résolu. Nous présentons un algorithme polynomial qui réalise cette reconstruction.

Finally we study sufficient conditions for explosion in finite time for the solution of a non local parabolic problem as well as hyperbolic inequality

Full textAbstract:
L'auto-assemblage est le processus dans lequel les composants d'un système, qu'il s'agisse de molécules, de polymères, de colloïdes ou de particules macroscopiques, s'organisent en structures ordonnés à la suite d'interactions locales entre les composants eux-mêmes, sans intervention extérieure. Cette thèse concerne l'auto-assemblage de pavages apériodiques. Les pavages apériodiques (le pavage Penrose en est un exemple célèbre) servent de modèle mathématique pour les quasi-cristaux - les cristaux qui n'ont pas la symétrie de translation. En raison de la disposition atomique spécifique de ces cristaux, la question de savoir comment ils se forment reste toujours sans réponse. L'objectif de cette thèse est de développer un algorithme de croissance pour une classe particulière de pavages apériodiques - les pavages octogonaux de type fini. Afin d'imiter la croissance de quasi-cristaux réels, nous demandons que l'algorithme soit local: les pièces doivent être ajoutées une par une, en utilisant uniquement les informations locales et aucune donnée ne doit être stockée entre les étapes. Les simulations corroborent la conjecture que l'algorithme que nous avons mis au point permet de former des pavages apériodiques, modulo une proportion inévitable mais négligeable de pavés manquantsSelf-assembly is the process in which the components of a system, whether molecules, polymers, or macroscopic particles, are organized into ordered structures as a result of local interactions between the components themselves, without exterior guidance. This thesis is devoted to the self-assembly of aperiodic tilings. Aperiodic tilings serve as a mathematical model for quasicrystals - crystals that do not have any translational symmetry. Because of the specific atomic arrangement of these crystals, the question of how they grow still remains open. Our aim is to develop a growth algorithm for a particular class of aperiodic tilings - octagonal tilings of finite type. In order to mimic the growth of real-world quasicrystals, we demand the algorithm be local: the tiles must be added one by one, using only the local information and no data must be stored between the steps. Simulations strongly support the evidence that this algorithm grows aperiodic tilings, up to an unavoidable but neglectable proportion of missing tiles

Full textAbstract:
Les mots sturmiens sont une façon de coder les droites discrètes apériodiques. Ils ont été étudiés depuis la fin du 19ème siècle et disposent de nombreuses caractérisations. L'une d'elles, obtenue par Vuillon, est centrée sur la notion de mot de retour.Cette thèse a pour objet l'étude des mots sturmiens en dimension 2 vus comme codages des plans discrets apériodiques. L'objectif est d'aller vers une caractérisation des mots sturmiens bi-dimensionnels analogue à celle obtenue par Vuillon en dimension 1.Mais des problèmes propres à la dimension 2 rendent cette étude délicate, tels l'absence de concaténation de mots ou la difficulté à localiser un facteur au sein d'un mot. Afin d'y faire face, nous introduisons en dimension 2 les notions de motifs, motifs pointés, mots de localisation et mots de retour. Nous obtenons ainsi un prolongement à la dimension 2 d'un théorème de Morse et Hedlund concernant certains mots de retour dans un mot sturmien.Ce résultat nous permet d'établir un nouvel algorithme de fractions continues et nous permet de proposer, dans un cadre restreint, une notion de suite dérivéeSturmian words are a way to encode aperiodic discrete lines. They have been studied since the end of the 19th century and can be characterized in many ways. One of these characterizations, obtained by Vuillon, centers around the notion of return words.This thesis aims to study 2-dimensional Sturmian words as encodings of aperiodic discrete planes. It is a first step towards a characterization of 2-dimensional Sturmian words analogous to that of Vuillon in dimension 1.However, concerns specific to dimension 2, such as the impossibility to concatenate words or the difficulty to locate a factor inside a word make the study much trickier. To tackle this, we introduce in dimension 2 notions of patterns, pointed patterns, localization words and return words.We obtain a 2-dimensional version of a theorem of Morse and Hedlund concerning certain return words in a Sturmian word. This result enables us to establish a new continued-fractions algorithm and to introduce, in a restricted setting, a notion of derived sequence

Full textAbstract:
Dans cette thèse, nous étudions trois modèles de percolation planaire : la percolation de Bernoulli, la percolation de Voronoi, et la percolation de lignes nodales. La percolation de Bernoulli est souvent considérée comme le modèle le plus simple à définir admettant une transition de phase. La percolation de Voronoi est quant à elle un modèle de percolation de Bernoulli en environnement aléatoire. La percolation de lignes nodales est un modèle de percolation de lignes de niveaux de champs gaussiens lisses. Deux fils conducteurs principaux ont guidé nos travaux. Le premier est la recherche de similarités entre ces modèles, en ayant à l'esprit que l'on s'attend à ce qu'ils admettent tous la même limite d'échelle. Nous montrons par exemple que le niveau critique de la percolation de lignes nodales est égal au niveau auto-dual (à savoir le niveau zéro) lorsque le champ considéré est le champ de Bargmann-Fock, qui est un champ gaussien analytique naturel. Le deuxième fil conducteur est l'étude de dynamiques sur ces modèles. Nous montrons en particulier que, si on considère un modèle de percolation de Voronoi critique et si on laisse les points se déplacer selon des processus de Lévy stables à très longue portée, alors il existe des temps exceptionnels avec une composante non bornéeWe study three models of percolation in the plane: Bernoulli percolation, Voronoi percolation, and nodal lines percolation. Bernoulli percolation is often considered as the simplest model which admits a phase transition. Voronoi percolation is a Bernoulli percolation model in random environment. Nodal lines percolation is a level lines percolation model for smooth planar Gaussian fields. We have followed two main threads. The first one is the resarch of similarities between these models, having in mind that we expect that they admit the same scaling limit. We show for instance that the critical level for nodal lines percolation is the self-dual level (namely the zero level) if the Gaussian field is the Bargmann-Fock field, which is natural analytical field. The second main thread is the study of dynamics on these percolation models. We show in particular that if we sample a critical Voronoi percolation model and if we let each point move according to a long range stable Lévy process, then there exist exceptional times with an unbounded cluster

We can now edit genomes. The technique, which involves cutting and pasting DNA code into the genome, is faster and cheaper than traditional genetic engineering and can be used on almost any animal or plant. What will this technology mean for the future? It may pave the way to banishing many diseases, and help feed the burgeoning population of the world. Woolly mammoths may again roam the tundra. But are there also risks? Might a nightmarish world of bioterrorism and rogue synthetic organisms await? John Parrington reports on the astonishing revolution underway in genetic engineering and why it matters to us all.

Research in developed countries is often considered as a means to pave the way towards sustainable development in different areas of the society including science and technology, the economy, governance and security. Researchers in developing countries rarely have the opportunity to use their indigenous languages to design, plan and conduct research. Nor do they communicate in their indigenous languages to share their insights and learnings from other parts of the world with colleagues or students. Utilising the languages that researchers, students and teachers, policymakers, the community, and others interested in research understand better can help to generate new knowledge embedded in local realities where sustainable development needs to take root. That is why this book is in Kinyarwanda. The authors hope that writing this book in Kinyarwanda will increase research capacity in the humanities and social sciences in Rwanda and in the region. And that it will increase interaction between all key stakeholders in the planning and conducting of research as well as in analysing, monitoring and evaluating the research process and its outputs.]

This introductory chapter provides a short history of medical humanities and continues on to give an overview of the limits of medical practice, evidence-based medicine (EBM), successes and failures, curricula, and the current state of medical humanities. The medical and health humanities have become a widespread discipline, with journals, institutes, and associations worldwide. Throughout undergraduate medical education, new courses, electives, programs, and research are proliferating. Yet there is very little officially documented about relevance and efficacy in postgraduate medical education. The chapters that follow provide both a rigorous argument for using the arts and humanities in postgraduate medical education and a practical “how-to” that will guide readers in developing arts and humanities initiatives in their own program or medical school. Each chapter provides ideas, hands-on lesson plans, and resources to pave the way forward.

An Industrial Age model continues to shape the way the Army approaches its recruiting, personnel management, training, and education. This outdated personnel management paradigm—designed for an earlier era—has been so intimately tied to the maintenance of Army culture that a self-perpetuating cycle has formed, diminishing the Army's attempts to develop adaptive leaders and institutions. This cycle can be broken only if the Army accepts rapid evolutionary change as the norm of the new era. Recruiting the right people, then having them step into an antiquated organization, means that many of them will not stay as they find their ability to contribute and develop limited by a centralized, hierarchical organization. Recruiting and retention data bear this out. Several factors have combined to force the Army to think about the way it develops and nurtures its leaders. Yet, Vandergriff maintains, mere modifications to today's paradigm may not be enough. Today's Army has to do more than post rhetoric about adaptability on briefing slides and in literature. One cannot divorce the way the Army accesses, promotes, and selects its leaders from its leadership-development model. The Army cannot expect to maintain leaders who grasp and practice adaptability if these officers encounter an organization that is neither adaptive nor innovative. Instead, Army culture must become adaptive, and the personnel system must evolve into one that nurtures adaptability in its policies, practices, and beliefs. Only a detailed, comprehensive plan where nothing is sacred will pave the way to cultural evolution.

AbstractCancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), a major component of the tumor microenvironment (TME), play an important role in cancer initiation, progression, and metastasis. Recent findings have demonstrated that the TME not only provides physical support for cancer cells but also directs cell-to-cell interactions (in this case, the interaction between cancer cells and CAFs). As cancer progresses, the CAFs also coevolve, transitioning from an inactivated state to an activated state. The elucidation and understanding of the interaction between cancer cells and CAFs will pave the way for new cancer therapies [1–3].

AbstractBased on a large scale of technology application scenarios, artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to have disruptive impact on economies and societies. In recent years, breakthroughs have been made in basic research on the fundamental technologies of artificial intelligence. AI is showing greater potential to become a general-purpose technology. Major economies are focusing on policies, regulations, and strategic plans around basic research and R&D of technology application scenarios in AI. However, the optimization of AI policy-making demands more interdisciplinary knowledge and a broader societal debate. In the domain of technology assessment (TA), the research on AI and its potential impacts has been considered important already early. The research questions, which include impacts on the workforce as well as impacts on societal communication and democracy as well as fundamental issues like responsibility, transparency, and ethics, have drawn widespread attention from TA studies. This chapter presents a scholarly discussion of AI topics in the context of TA, based on a qualitative analysis of AI policy databases from the OECD and EPTA. The analysis concludes that enhancing global cooperation in TA will contribute to address fundamental ethical and societal issues of AI, which in turn broadens the knowledge base and helps to pave way for a more inclusive and just use of AI.

Full textAbstract:
Natural hair like structures, produced on aerial surfaces of plants that involves in plant defence, are recognised as trichomes. These trichomes play their role in natural plant defence. These trichomes may be glandular or non-glandular, and secrete exudates, which trap insects and slowdown their movement and act as a physical barrier either against insect attack killing the insects directly or through retarding the insect growth and their population. These trichomes play an important role against both biotic and abiotic stresses. Plant trichomes, specialized epidermal outgrowths found on the surfaces of various plant species, have gained significant attention in recent years due to their diverse roles in plant development, defense, and pest management. Trichomes serve as a physical barrier against herbivores, play a crucial role in the release of chemical deterrents, and act as key components of indirect defense mechanisms. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the multifaceted contributions of plant trichomes in pest management, focusing on their structural characteristics, chemical defense, and ecological interactions with herbivores. Understanding the mechanisms underlying the role of trichomes in pest management can potentially pave the way for the development of novel strategies for sustainable agriculture.

Full textAbstract:
Plants are constantly challenged by a multitude of abiotic stresses, including extreme temperature fluctuations causing water scarcity. To adapt and survive, plants have evolved a complex array of defense mechanisms. Among these, plant phenolics, a diverse group of secondary metabolites synthesized via pathways like the shikimate/phenylpropanoid, play a crucial role. These compounds exhibit potent antioxidant and free radical scavenging abilities, acting as shields against various environmental stressors. Furthermore, plant phenolics showcase remarkable structural diversity, with specific functionalities tailored to individual plant species. Their contributions extend beyond mere stress mitigation, influencing crucial aspects of plant biology such as growth, development, and reproduction. They also demonstrate antimicrobial and anti-allergenic properties, acting as deterrents against pathogens. Additionally, they contribute to the vibrant colors and sensory attributes of fruits and vegetables. With the growing pressure of escalating food demands and the looming threat of climate change, enhancing crop resilience has become paramount. Delving deeper into the regulatory mechanisms and specific functions of plant phenolics offers immense potential. By elucidating their biosynthetic pathways, gene expression patterns, and diverse modes of action, we can empower crops to withstand the onslaught of abiotic stresses. This understanding can pave the way for the development of novel strategies to ensure global food security in the face of environmental challenges.

The chronic metabolic disease known as diabetes mellitus, which is characterised by hyperglycemia, is a severe health burden that affects people all over the world. As a result of the limits and bad effects that relate to the treatments that are now available, the quest for new antidiabetic agents continues, despite the achievements that have been made in pharmacotherapy. It has come to people's notice that plant alkaloids have the potential to have medicinal benefits, including characteristics that may help prevent diabetes. The purpose of this study is to offer a complete overview of the possible anti-diabetic effects of plant alkaloids by investigating their mechanisms of action, preclinical and clinical data, and potential future applications. A comprehensive search of scientific databases led to the discovery of pertinent research that were published in journals that were subjected to peer review. Plant alkaloids, such as berberine, metformin, and quinolizidine alkaloids, have shown promise anti-diabetic benefits via a variety of mechanisms. These mechanisms include insulin sensitization, blockage of glucose absorption, and modification of signalling pathways that are important in glucose homeostasis. In addition, alkaloids have qualities that contribute to their overall therapeutic success in the treatment of diabetes. These features include antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and lipid-lowering effects. To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of plant alkaloids as supplementary or alternative therapy for diabetes, more clinical studies are necessary, despite the positive preclinical evidence that has been collected. By gaining an understanding of the pharmacological characteristics and mechanisms of action of plant alkaloids, it is possible to pave the way for the creation of new antidiabetic medicines that are more effective and more tolerable.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, plant-based proteins are gaining much more importance for various reasons. Traditionally, nuts and leguminous crops were considered natural sources of plant proteins. With the advancement of extraction technologies, proteins are derived from a wide range of cereals, vegetables, vegetable seeds, algae, and other edible seeds, which can be alternative protein sources. Besides, the antinutritional factors associated with legume crops are taken care of to provide a portion of sustainable and holistic food to the population. Furthermore, some traditional processes like fermentation are ways to minimize the health deterrent factors associated with plant-based proteins. Plant-based proteins are not confined to the milk and meat analogs anymore; they now constitute a part of the customized diet or designer foods for different age groups and professionals, in the form of protein concentrates, isolates and hydrolysates. The global market for plant-based protein has seen exponential growth post-COVID times, and several major players are in the research and development of plant-based protein. Considering that a large section of the global population is still striving for nutritional security, the availability of these plant-based proteins will pave the way for meeting healthy body and soul requirements in this dwindling climatic condition

Full textAbstract:
PAVAN is an atmospheric dispersion program for evaluating design basis accidental releases of radioactive materials from nuclear power plant. It was developed by Pacific Northwest Laboratory on the basic of the atmospheric dispersion models described in RG 1.145 by NRC (U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission). Using the joint frequency of wind direction, wind speed and atmospheric stability, the atmospheric relative concentration values for the exclusion area boundary and outer LPZ boundary of nuclear power plant are calculated and given by the program. Once the program was introduced, it has been widely used in the radioactive accident consequence assessment, especially in the FSAR (Final Safety Analysis Report) and Report of EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) of NPPs in China. The theory basis and general method of PAVAN is introduced in this paper. And specialty of the X/Q points based on joint frequency data is discussed. The envelope algorithm of PAVAN is also introduced and discussed. The paper presents an improved algorithm based on PAVAN which uses the hourly meteorological data as input instead of joint frequency data. In this algorithm, the size of X/Q points is related to the quantity of the hourly meteorological data. When the quantity is large enough, e.g. 17520 sets of hourly meteorological data in two years, the envelope curve for X/Q points fit more exactly than PAVAN. Using the observed meteorological data, the improved algorithm is compared with PAVAN. The result proves that the former is more accurate. In general, the improved algorithm is relatively conservative. In some situation, the conservativeness is not certain. The factors which result in the uncertainty are deeply discussed. Further optimized are performed by the algorithm. The number of points to seek in envelope curve fitting is set to be dynamic and be a quarter of total number of X/Q points to be fitted. The result shows that increasing the number of points to seek in the iteration process of envelope curve fitting will lead to more conservative X/Q values. Additionally, the optimized algorithm provides X/Q value of 50% probability level for overall site. The value is not relatively conservative. From the standpoint of statistical probability, it is more realistic and is acceptable for potential accident consequence assessment. Especially, when X/Q value of 95% probability level for overall site is too conservative to accept, the value of 50% probability level can be used to replace the conservative value.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The efficiency of modern drilling operations depends on the planning phase to determine possible well trajectories and the ability of the directional driller to traverse them accurately. Deviations from the planned trajectory while drilling often require updates to the original well plan, involving drilling engineers and rig personnel, which can be time-consuming due to several uncertainties, such as formation tendencies, survey measurement inaccuracy, or estimation errors. To address these challenges, this paper proposes an innovative solution that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) methods, specifically deep reinforcement learning (DRL) to dramatically reduce the need for continuous corrections to the well plan while drilling. In the DRL paradigm, the proposed approach eliminates the need for constant plan adjustments by training a drilling agent to imitate the driller's ability to dynamically adjust the well trajectory in real time based on information from previous drilling logs, well plans, and near-the-bit measurements. This research utilizes a physics-based simulation engine to model a directional drilling environment as a Markov Decision Process (MDP). The MDP is intended for an autonomous system based on geological data models and real-time measurements obtained while drilling (MWD) to train deep reinforcement learning (DRL) agents to drill directional wellbores that maintain maximum contact with the target formation. The simulator incorporates uncertainties of the real-world drilling environment, such as bit walk, formation properties, and drilling speed which, combined, help derive the actions performed by the drilling agent. Our findings reveal that using the proposed methodology in a virtual drilling environment, the drilling agent effectively navigates well paths in the presence of uncertainties and successfully tackle challenges such as avoiding excessive tortuosity and doglegs while maximizing contact with the target formation. Furthermore, the use of domain randomization during training enabled the RL agents to exhibit exceptional generalizability to a wide range of drilling scenarios through the random selection of drilling test sites from a set of unseen sites during training — demonstrating the ability of the agent to adapt and reach the target formation even when the initial well-plan is inaccurate — resulting in a 90% success rate. This self-correcting approach demonstrates the potential for automated, proactive, self-contained steering operations with minimal human involvement. The developed simulation framework is a pioneering approach to enhancing real-time adjustments of drilling well paths using reinforcement learning and optimizing drilling operations. It is the first-of-its-kind method to augment drillers’ ability to navigate through drilling uncertainties and maximize pay zone contact and pave the way for the creation of robust, scalable, and practical autonomous drilling systems.

In spite of recent advances in the field, the achievement of continuous tunability of optical anisotropy remains an outstanding challenge. Here, we present a solution to the problem through the chemical alteration of halogen atoms in single-crystal halide perovskites. Our results reveal that this anisotropy could be in-plane and out-of-plane depending on perovskite shape - rectangular and square. As a practical demonstration, we have created perovskite anisotropic nanowaveguides and shown a significant impact of anisotropy on high-order guiding modes. These findings pave the way for halide perovskites as a next-generation platform for tunable anisotropic photonics.

In response to the global trend towards implementing sustainable manufacturing practices, we put forth an exploratory approach that uses energy monitoring as a means to introduce sustainability criteria early into manufacturing process planning. Typically cost, quality and time are the indices for manufacturability assessment in generating manufacturing process plans. In this paper, we propose the idea of introducing sustainability to complement cost, quality and time to arrive at alternative sustainable plans in identified manufacturing processes. To be sustainable, it is pertinent that manufacturing firms understand the energy consumption of different manufacturing equipment used to produce products. This will enable industry to implement energy reduction processes in a more effective manner and pave the way for improved and alternate manufacturing solutions. The paper presents the potential utility of energy usage readings in the interest of continuing dialogue and collaboration.

Full textAbstract:
Western Culture has stigmatized introversion as a less desirable trait of personality especially for designers and people involved in creative activities. According to many studies, an extroverted character is considered a plus and leads to a more successful and satisfying life. But is true that introverts are at a disadvantage? The Introbots are a group of fluffy and goofy playful artefacts that aim to create an exploration and a commentary of what it means to be introverted and to pave the way for educators and students to reflect on the misconception that extroversion is positive and introversion is a disadvantage to be corrected. In 2018, they were the protagonists of a workshop at the School of Architecture (SOU) in Favara children, when they were used to sensibilize the young students to the topic of introversion and to empower them to design more inclusive playground and urban spaces in the urban environments. The chapter discusses the results of that experience and implicitly shows how the relationship between play and learning is not unilateral but rather biunivocal, and the playful artefacts are not just mere instruments but real tools that can help us to disclose the power of play when it comes to the design of our urban landscapes.

Throughout Latin America low-income neighborhoods have difficulty in paving city streets. Municipalities are typically short of funds, and many informal urban settlements have not yet been properly incorporated into the tax base.An innovative solution has been devised by CEMEX, a multinational cement company based in Mexico, to mobilize both public and private resources to pave streets in low-income neighborhoods. Under the plan, called Mejora tu Calle, city residents will receive individual microloans and then pool the resources to finance half the cost of street pavement for their neighborhood. Municipalities will contribute the other half of the cost.
