Abstract: The parameterization of the magnetospheric field contribution, generated by currents flowing in the magnetosphere is of major importance for the analysis of Mercury’s internal magnetic field. Using a combination of the Gauss and the Mie representation (toroidal–poloidal decomposition) for the parameterization of the magnetic field enables the analysis of magnetic field data measured in current carrying regions in the vicinity of Mercury. In view of the BepiColombo mission, the magnetic field resulting from the plasma interaction of Mercury with the solar wind is simulated with a hybrid simulation code and the internal Gauss coefficients for the dipole, quadrupole and octupole field are reconstructed from the data, evaluated along the prospective trajectories of the Mercury Planetary Orbiter (MPO) using Capon’s method. Especially, it turns out that a high-precision determination of Mercury’s octupole field is expectable from the future analysis of the magnetic field data measured by the magnetometer on board MPO. Furthermore, magnetic field data of the MESSENGER mission are analyzed and the reconstructed internal Gauss coefficients are in reasonable agreement with the results from more conventional methods such as the least-square fit., Österreichische Forschungsförderungsgesellschaft http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100004955, Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100002946, Technische Universität Braunschweig (1042)

Abstract: This work extends a rule-based specification of nominal C-unification formalised in Coq to include ‘protected variables’ that cannot be instantiated during the unification process. By introducing protected variables, we are able to reuse the C-unification simplification rules to solve nominal C-matching (as well as equality check) problems. From the algorithmic point of view, this extension is sufficient to obtain a generalised C-unification procedure; however, it cannot be formally checked by simple reuse of the original formalisation. This paper describes the additional effort necessary in order to adapt the specification of the inference rules and reuse previous formalisations. We also generalise a functional recursive nominal C-unification algorithm specified in PVS with protected variables, effectively adapting this algorithm to the tasks of nominal C-matching and nominal equality check. The PVS formalisation is applied to test the correctness of a Python manual implementation of the algorithm.

Abstract: A new summation method model of the reactor antineutrino energy spectrum is presented. It is updated with the most recent evaluated decay databases and with our Total Absorption Gamma-ray Spectroscopy measurements performed during the last decade. For the first time the spectral measurements from the Daya Bay experiment are compared with the detected antineutrino energy spectrum computed with the updated summation method without any renormalisation. The results exhibit a better agreement than is obtained with the Huber-Mueller model in the 2 to 5 MeV range, the region which dominates the detected flux. An unexpected systematic trend is found that the detected antineutrino flux computed with the summation model decreases with the inclusion of more Pandemonium free data. The detected flux obtained now lies only 1.9% above that detected in the Daya Bay experiment, a value that may be reduced with forthcoming new Pandemonium free data leaving less and less room to the reactor anomaly. Eventually, the new predictions of individual antineutrino spectra for the $^{235}$U, $^{239}$Pu, $^{241}$Pu and $^{238}$U are used to compute the dependence of the reactor antineutrino spectral shape on the fission fractions., Comment: 12 pages, 4 figures

Abstract: Molsidomine is currently used as a vasodilator drug for the treatment of myocardial ischemic syndrome and congestive heart failure, although still presenting some mitochondrial-targeted side effects in many human cells. As a model of molsidomine mitotoxicity, the reaction of cytochrome c with phosphatidylserine (PS)- and cardiolipin (CL)-containing liposomes was investigated in oxidative/nitrosative conditions imposed by SIN-1 decomposition, which renders peroxynitrite (ONOO-) as a main reactive product. In these conditions, the production of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance (TBARs) and LOOH was affected by the lipid composition and the oxidative/nitrative conditions used. The oxidative/nitrative conditions were the exposure of lipids to SIN-1 decomposition, native cytochrome c after previous exposure to SIN-1, concomitantly to SIN-1 and native cytochrome c, native cytochrome c, and cytochrome c modified by SIN-1 that presents a less-rhombic heme iron (L-R cytc). TBARs and LOOH production by lipids and cytochrome c exposed concomitantly to SIN-1 differed from that obtained using L-R cytc and featured similar effects of SIN-1 alone. This result suggests that lipids rather than cytochrome c are the main targets for oxidation and nitration during SIN-1 decomposition. PS- and CL-containing liposomes challenged by SIN-1 were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy that revealed oxidation, trans-isomerization, and nitration. These products are consistent with reaction routes involving lipids and NOx formed via peroxynitrite or direct reaction of NO• with molecular oxygen that attacks LOOH and leads to the formation of substances that are not reactive with thiobarbituric acid.

Abstract: Organosulfur compounds show cytotoxic potential towards many tumor cell lines. Disulfides and thiosulfonates act through apoptotic processes, inducing proteins associated with apoptosis, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and the unfolded protein response. Three p-substituted symmetric diaryl disulfides and three diaryl thiosulfonates were synthesized and analyzed for inhibition of tubulin polymerization and for human cancer cell cytotoxic activity against seven tumor cell lines and a non-tumor cell line. S-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-methoxybenzenesulfonothioate (6) exhibited inhibition of tubulin polymerization and showed the best antiproliferative potential, especially against the 786-0 cell line, being six times more selective as compared with the non-tumor cell line. In addition, compound 6 was able to activate caspase-3 after 24 and 48 h treatments of the 786-0 cell line and induced cell-cycle arrest in the G2/M stage at the highest concentration evaluated at 24 and 48 h. Compound 6 was able to cause complete inhibition of proliferation, inducing the death of 786-0 cells, by increasing the number of cells at G2/M and greater activation of caspase-3.

8. A formalisation of nominal α-equivalence with A, C, and AC function symbols

Abstract: This paper describes a formalisation in Coq of nominal syntax extended with associative (A), commutative (C) and associative-commutative (AC) operators. This formalisation is based on a natural notion of nominal α-equivalence, avoiding the use of an auxiliary weak α-relation used in previous formalisations of nominal AC equivalence. A general α-relation between terms with A, C and AC function symbols is specified and formally proved to be an equivalence relation. As corollaries, one obtains the soundness of α-equivalence modulo A, C and AC operators. General α-equivalence problems with A operators are log-linearly bounded in time while if there are also C operators they can be solved in O(n 2 log ⁡n); nominal α-equivalence problems that also include AC operators can be solved with the same running time complexity as in standard first-order AC approaches. This development is a first step towards verification of nominal matching, unification and narrowing algorithms modulo equational theories in general.

Abstract: Solid-state ionic conductor is an essential and critical part of electrochemical devices such as batteries and sensors. Nano-sized silver iodide (AgI) is the most promising ionic conductor due to its superionic conductivity at room temperature. In recent years, proteins have been used as organic templates to obtain high-performance solid-state ionic conductors as well as to extend their applications in a biosensor. Here, we report the unprecedented ultrafast synthesis of thermally stable protein-coated AgI nanoparticles (NPs) through the photo-irradiation method for solid-state electrolyte. The synthesis was performed using a hyperthermostable bacterial β-glucosidase. The protein-coated AgI NPs with an approximate diameter of 13 nm showed that the controllable transition from the α- to β-/γ-phase was drastically suppressed down to 41 °C in the cooling process. After drying, the product represents a thermally stable organic-inorganic hybrid system with superionic conductivity. It is noteworthy that the superionic conductivity (σ ˜ 0.14 S/cm at 170 °C) of thermally stable protein-coated AgI NPs is maintained during several thermal cycles (25–170 °C). To our knowledge, this is the first report showing the diffusion of mobile Ag+ ions on the surface of the AgI NPs through a protein matrix. The facile synthesis method and high performance of the protein-coated AgI NPs may provide a latent application in the mass production of nanobatteries and other technological applications.

Abstract: We define nominal equational problems of the form $$\exists \overline{W} \forall \overline{Y} : P$$ ∃ W ¯ ∀ Y ¯ : P , where $$P$$ P consists of conjunctions and disjunctions of equations $$s\approx _\alpha t$$ s ≈ α t , freshness constraints $$a\#t$$ a # t and their negations: $$s \not \approx _\alpha t$$ s ≉ α t and "Equation missing", where $$a$$ a is an atom and $$s, t$$ s , t nominal terms. We give a general definition of solution and a set of simplification rules to compute solutions in the nominal ground term algebra. For the latter, we define notions of solved form from which solutions can be easily extracted and show that the simplification rules are sound, preserving, and complete. With a particular strategy for rule application, the simplification process terminates and thus specifies an algorithm to solve nominal equational problems. These results generalise previous results obtained by Comon and Lescanne for first-order languages to languages with binding operators. In particular, we show that the problem of deciding the validity of a first-order equational formula in a language with binding operators (i.e., validity modulo $$\alpha $$ α -equality) is decidable.

Abstract: The use of ultraviolet (UV) and blue irradiation to sterilize surfaces is well established, but commercial applications would be enhanced if the light source is replaced with ambient light. In this paper, it is shown that nanofibers can be explored as an alternative methodology to UV and blue irradiation for bacterial inactivation. It is demonstrated that this is indeed possible using spun nanofibers of poly[lactic-co-(glycolic acid)] (PLGA). This work shows that PLGA spun scaffolds can promote photoinactivation of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria with ambient light or with laser irradiation at 630 nm. With the optimized scaffold composition of PLGA85:15 nanofibers, the minimum intensity required to kill the bacteria is much lower than in antimicrobial blue light applications. The enhanced effect introduced by PLGA scaffolds is due to their nanofiber structures since PLGA spun nanofibers were able to inactivate both S. aureus and E. coli bacteria, but cast films had no effect. These findings pave the way for an entirely different method to sterilize surfaces, which is less costly and environmentally friendly than current procedures. In addition, the scaffolds could also be used in cancer treatment with fewer side effects since photosensitizers are not required.

Abstract: The development of self-disinfectant devices is highly needed to prevent and control infections, mainly caused by virus. In the past years, coronaviruses have been a threat to humanity, causing severe epidemics of respiratory infections such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), in 2003, and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) in 2012, and presently the SARS-CoV2 is causing the COVID-19 pandemic. Previous studies have demonstrated that surface contamination play a significant role in the spreading of viruses. These studies demonstrated that the production of highly reactive species by copper alloys contributes to rapid elimination of viruses. Nanostructured materials such as semiconductors TiO2, Co3O4 CuO, NiO, and TiO2, and silver nanoparticles can decrease the virus viability on the surfaces when associated with polymers and textiles, especially in conditions of light exposure. In addition, graphene oxide is rising as a promising material for inactivation of viruses due to its capacity of destroying the viral envelope and capsid. The virucidal property of these materials can be enhanced by increasing their functionalization with photosensitizers. The present mini-review brings subsidies for the development of new advanced self-disinfectant materials that can be used in the manufacture of gloves, masks, and a variety of other devices.

Abstract: Incluye contenido parcial de los autores Abstract.Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecologicalhealth and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carni-vores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide managementand conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropicalregion: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; andUrsidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropicalcarnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTRO-PICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data wereobtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organi-zations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including cameratrapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature(peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated inthis compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n=79,343; 79.7%) butalso includes non-detection data (n=20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data(n=43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute tomacroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspec-tives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distri-bution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans andsafeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combinedwith other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and relatedecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restric-tion for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of theinformation used. We also request that users inform us of how they intend to use the data.

Abstract: Ca2+-overload contributes to the oxidation of mitochondrial membrane lipids and associated events such as the permeability transition pore (MPTP) opening. Numerous experimental studies about the Ca2+/cardiolipin (CL) interaction are reported in the literature, but there are few studies in conjunction with theoretical approaches based on ab initio calculations. In the present study, the lipid fraction of the inner mitochondrial membrane was modeled as POPC/CL large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs). POPC/CL and, comparatively, POPC, and CL LUVs were challenged by singlet molecular oxygen using the anionic porphyrin TPPS4 as a photosensitizer and by free radicals produced by Fe2+-citrate. Calcium ion favored both types of lipid oxidation in a lipid composition-dependent manner. In membranes containing predominantly or exclusively POPC, Ca2+ increased the oxidation at later reaction times while the oxidation of CL membranes was exacerbated at the early times of reaction. Considering that Ca2+ interaction affects the lipid structure and packing, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were applied to the Ca2+ association with totally and partially protonated and deprotonated CL, in the presence of water. The interaction of totally and partially protonated CL head groups with Ca2+ decreased the intramolecular P-P distance and increased the hydrophobic volume of the acyl chains. Consistently with the theoretically predicted effect of Ca2+ on CL, in the absence of pro-oxidants, giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) challenged by Ca2+ formed buds and many internal vesicles. Therefore, Ca2+ induces changes in CL packing and increases the susceptibility of CL to the oxidation promoted by free radicals and excited species.

Abstract: The use of proteins for surface modifications of hybrid silver nanoparticles (NPs) is still poorly explored. In this study, we report a rapid green route synthesis of plasmonic protein-coated silver/silver chloride NPs (Ag/AgCl NPs) with controlled contents of metallic Ag (Ag0) using a modified photo-irradiation method. The contents of Ag0 were easily controlled varying the proportion between Ag+ and Cl− in the syntheses reactions. Interestingly, the Ag0 content in the protein-coated Ag/AgCl NPs increased with increasing of Cl− concentration. The synthesized plasmonic protein-coated Ag/AgCl NPs exhibited significant photocatalytic activity in the reduction of methylene blue dye under light irradiation due to the synergy between the metallic plasmonic effect and the semiconducting AgCl. However, a significant decrease in the content of semiconducting AgCl resulted in an undesirable synergistic effect. In our green route syntheses, all the properties of Ag/AgCl NPs were maintained with the addition of the advantages of the protein layer, which facilitates the dye adsorption and could contribute, along with Ag0, to reduce the electron–hole pairs recombination rate. Thus, with a simple and fast synthesis strategy these organic–inorganic hybrid NPs have the potential for applications for environmental remediation.

Abstract: We propose a personal dosemeter based on the combination of thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) detectors employing the advantages of both techniques. The new OSL/TL dosemeter using a badge manufactured in a 3D printer was tested for assessment of photon doses in simulated and actual situations of exposure. Additionally, Brazilian national performance tests adapted to the new dosemeter were run as well as the performance tests of international standards on the passive dosimetry systems. The results showed the advantages of combined OSL and TL techniques when using the three different configurations of detector combination, Al2O3/BeO, BeO/CaSO4 and Al2O3/LiF. The dosemeter allowed corrections for radiation energy without the necessity of attenuation filters, the evaluation of single and accumulated doses and the triple check of the dose values. Further, the performance tests were consistent with national and international requirements, showing the viability of application of the new dosemeter to the assessment of equivalent doses.

Abstract: Photocatalysis is a promising method with great potential to solve several environmental challenges. Plasmonic Ag/AgBr nanoparticles (Ag/AgBr-NPs) are stable and highly efficient photocatalysts under visible light. Here, we reported for the first time the fast one-pot photosynthesis of stable protein-coated Ag/AgBr-NPs under blue light illumination. The photosynthesis was a simple process, carried out by equimolar mixing of Ag+ and Br− in the presence of protein, compatible with the green chemistry procedure. Electron microscopy showed that the Ag/AgBr-NPs were slightly heterogeneous in size and shape, and enveloped by a protein matrix responsible for colloidal stability. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the Ag/AgBr-NPs were purely crystalline in nature. The content of metallic Ag0 in the Ag/AgBr-NPs was easily controlled varying the ratio between Ag+ and Br− in the reaction. Plasmonic protein-coated Ag/AgBr-NPs showed photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methylene blue, which enhanced with the increase of metallic Ag0 content, attributed to the synergistic effects among the plasmonic band, photosensibility of semiconductor and decrease in the recombination rate of the electron–hole pairs by the protein layer.

Abstract: A formalisation of soundness of the notion of α-equivalence in nominal abstract syntax modulo associative (A) and associative-commutative (AC) equational theories is described. Initially, the notion of α-equivalence is specified based on a so called “weak” nominal relation as suggested by Urban in his nominal development in Isabelle/HOL. Then, it is formalised in Coq that this equality is indeed an equivalence relation. After that, general α-equivalence with A and AC function symbols is specified and formally proved to be an equivalence relation. As corollaries, the soundness α-equivalence modulo A and modulo AC is obtained. Finally, an algorithm for checking α-equivalence modulo A and AC is proposed. General α-equivalence problems are log-linearly solved while AC and the combination of A and AC α-equivalence problems have the same complexity as standard first-order approaches. This development is a first step towards verification of nominal matching, unification and narrowing algorithms modulo equational theories in general.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of plant densities and sidedressed nitrogen (N) rates on nutrition and productive performance of the common bean cultivars IPR 139 and Pérola. For each cultivar, a randomized complete block experimental design was used in a split-plot arrangement, with three replicates. Plots consisted of three plant densities (5, 7, and 9 plants ha-1) and subplots of five N rates (0, 30, 60, 120, and 180 kg ha-1). Aboveground dry matter, leaf macro- and micronutrient concentrations, yield components, grain yield, and protein concentration in grains were evaluated. Lower plant densities (5 and 7 plants m-1) increased aboveground dry matter production and the number of pods per plant and did not reduce grain yield. In the absence of N fertilization, reduction of plant density decreased N concentration in common bean leaves. Nitrogen fertilization linearly increased dry matter and leaf N concentration, mainly at lower plant densities. Regardless of plant density, the N supply linearly increased grain yield of cultivars IPR 139 and Pérola by 17.3 and 52.2%, respectively. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da densidade de plantas na fileira e de doses de nitrogênio (N) em cobertura na nutrição e desempenho produtivo das cultivares de feijão comum IPR 139 e Pérola. Para cada cultivar, o delineamento experimental utilizado foi em blocos ao acaso, em parcelas subdivididas e três repetições. As parcelas consistiram de três densidades de plantas (5, 7 e 9 plantas m-1 de fileira) e as subparcelas de cinco doses de N (0, 30, 60, 120 e 180 kg ha-1). Foram avaliadas: matéria seca da parte aérea, teores de macro e micronutrientes na folha diagnose, componentes da produção, produtividade de grãos e teor de proteína nos grãos. Menores densidades de plantas (5 e 7 plantas m-1) proporcionaram maior produção de MS e número de vagens por planta e não reduziram a produtividade de grãos. Na ausência da adubação nitrogenada, a redução da densidade de plantas diminuiu o teor de N nas folhas do feijoeiro. A adubação nitrogenada aumentou linearmente a produção de matéria seca e o teor de N nas folhas do feijoeiro, principalmente sob as menores densidades de plantas. Independentemente da densidade de plantas, o fornecimento de N aumentou linearmente a produtividade de grãos das cultivares IPR 139 e Pérola em 17,3 e 52,2%, respectivamente.

Abstract: As industrias texteis estao entre os setores mais poluidores do mundo, principalmente pelo descarte de residuos de corantes sinteticos nos efluentes. Alguns processos tem sido utilizados atualmente para a remocao de corantes dos efluentes, mas apresentam as desvantagens de baixa viabilidade economica e dificuldade de reproducao em larga escala. Em paralelo, o descarte e a degradacao de residuos solidos tambem constituem serios problemas ambientais que colocam desafios as estrategias de reciclagem e degradacao. O presente estudo descreve um eficiente mecanismo de remocao e degradacao de corantes de efluentes com o uso de residuos solidos particulados. A justificativa desse processo e o uso de residuo particulado solido para adsorver corantes dissolvidos em agua, tornando ambos os adsorventes e residuos adsorvidos mais suscetiveis a fotodegradacao. No presente estudo: uma porfirina sintetica anionica TPPS4 (meso-tetrakis (4-sulfonatofenil) porfirina) foi usada como um modelo de corante fotossensivel a ser removido da agua. Os modelos de residuos solidos foram poli (acido lactico) (PLA) puro e misturado com 10% de amido termoplastico (TPS). As porfirinas livres e adsorvidas degradaram pela exposicao de um dia a luz solar. O TPPS4 foi adsorvido de forma mais eficiente no PLA / TPS e degradado mais rapidamente no PLA. A adsorcao da porfirina promoveu a fotodegradacao de PLA e PLA/TPS. Palavras-chave: residuos solidos, fotodegradacao, amido termoplastico, PLA, porfirina.

Abstract: Liposomes containing magnetic nanoparticles (magnetoliposomes) have been extensively explored for targeted drug delivery. However, the magnetic effect of nanoparticles movement is also an attractive choice for the conduction of signals in communication systems at the nanoscale level because of the simple manipulation and efficient control. Here, we propose a model for the transmission of electrical and luminous signals taking advantage of magnetophoresis. The study involved three steps. Firstly, magnetite was synthesized and incorporated into fusogenic large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) previously associated with a fluorescent label. Secondly, the fluorescent magnetite-containing LUVs delivered their contents to the giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), which were corroborated by magnetophoresis and fluorescence microscopy. In the third step, magnetophoresis of magnetic vesicles was used for the conduction of the luminous signal from a capillary to an optical fibre connected to a fluorescence detector. Also, the magnetophoresis effects on subsequent transmission of the electrochemical signal were demonstrated using magnetite associated with CTAB micelles modified with ferrocene. We glimpse that these magnetic supramolecular systems can be applied in micro- and nanoscale communication systems.

Abstract: The Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) is part of the Pierre Auger Observatory and is used to detect the radio emission of cosmic-ray air showers. These observations are compared to the data of the surface detector stations of the Observatory, which provide well-calibrated information on the cosmic-ray energies and arrival directions. The response of the radio stations in the 30-80 MHz regime has been thoroughly calibrated to enable the reconstruction of the incoming electric field. For the latter, the energy deposit per area is determined from the radio pulses at each observer position and is interpolated using a two-dimensional function that takes into account signal asymmetries due to interference between the geomagnetic and charge-excess emission components. The spatial integral over the signal distribution gives a direct measurement of the energy transferred from the primary cosmic ray into radio emission in the AERA frequency range. We measure 15.8 MeV of radiation energy for a 1 EeV air shower arriving perpendicularly to the geomagnetic field. This radiation energy - corrected for geometrical effects - is used as a cosmic-ray energy estimator. Performing an absolute energy calibration against the surface-detector information, we observe that this radio-energy estimator scales quadratically with the cosmic-ray energy as expected for coherent emission. We find an energy resolution of the radio reconstruction of 22% for the data set and 17% for a high-quality subset containing only events with at least five radio stations with signal., La lista completa de autores que integran el documento puede consultarse en el archivo, Instituto de Física La Plata

Abstract: Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o acúmulo de forragem e o valor nutritivo do híbrido de Urochloa 'BRS RB331 Ipyporã' (Urochloa brizantha x Urochloa ruziziensis) submetido à pastejo intermitente. Os tratamentos corresponderam às combinações entre as condições de pré-pastejo, interceptação de 95% da luz incidente e máxima interceptação de luz, e as de pós-pastejo, 10 e 15 cm de altura de resíduo, em delineamento de blocos ao acaso, em arranjo fatorial 2x2, com quatro repetições. Pastos manejados com 95% de interceptação da luz apresentaram maior taxa de acúmulo de forragem, proporção de folhas, relação folha:colmo, teor de proteína bruta e densidade populacional de perfilhos basilares (DPPb), em comparação àqueles manejados com máxima interceptação da luz. Pastos manejados com 15 cm de altura do resíduo apresentaram maior DPPb do que os manejados com 10 cm e apresentaram pequena variação de DPPb entre as estações do ano avaliadas, independentemente do tratamento. Pastos do híbrido interespecífico de Urochloa 'BRS RB331 Ipyporã' apresentam maior acúmulo de forragem e maiores teores de proteína bruta e digestibilidade in vitro da matéria orgânica e menores teores de fibra em detergente neutro na fração folha, quando manejados com 95% de IL nas condições de pré-pastejo, com 30 cm de altura do dossel, associada com 15 cm de altura de resíduo. Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the forage accumulation and nutritional value of the Urochloa hybrid 'BRS RB331 Ipyporã' (Urochloa brizantha x Urochloa ruziziensis) subjected to intermittent grazing. The treatments corresponded to combinations of the pre-grazing conditions, interception of 95% of incident light and maximum light interception, and of the post-grazing heights, 10 and 15 cm, in a randomized complete block design with a 2x2 factorial arrangement and four replicates. Pastures grazed at 95% of light interception showed higher forage accumulation rate, proportion of leaves, leaf:stem ratio, crude protein content, and basal tiller population density (BTPD), in comparison with those managed at maximum light interception. Pastures managed with post-grazing heights of 15 cm showed greater BTPD than those managed at 10 cm and showed a slightly variation in BTPD among the evaluated seasons of the year, regardless of the treatment. Pastures of the interspecific hybrid of Urochloa 'BRS RB331 Ipyporã' show greater forage accumulation and higher crude protein content and in vitro organic matter digestibility, and lower content of neutral detergent fiber in the leaf fraction, when managed with 95% LI under pre-grazing conditions of 30-cm sward height, associated with a post-grazing 15-cm sward height.

Abstract: In recent years, rapid advances in information technology have led to various data collection systems which are enriching the sources of empirical data for use in transport systems. Currently, traffic data are collected through various sensors including loop detectors, probe vehicles, cell-phones, Bluetooth, video cameras, remote sensing and public transport smart cards. It has been argued that combining the complementary information from multiple sources will generally result in better accuracy, increased robustness and reduced ambiguity. Despite the fact that there have been substantial advances in data assimilation techniques to reconstruct and predict the traffic state from multiple data sources, such methods are generally data-driven and do not fully utilize the power of traffic models. Furthermore, the existing methods are still limited to freeway networks and are not yet applicable in the urban context due to the enhanced complexity of the flow behavior. The main traffic phenomena on urban links are generally caused by the boundary conditions at intersections, un-signalized or signalized, at which the switching of the traffic lights and the turning maneuvers of the road users lead to shock-wave phenomena that propagate upstream of the intersections. This paper develops a new model-based methodology to build up a real-time traffic prediction model for arterial corridors using data from multiple sources, particularly from loop detectors and partial observations from Bluetooth and GPS devices.

Abstract: Phenothiazines are a class of molecules that have been applied in antipsychotic therapy, photodynamic therapy, dyes, sunscreen, and more recently light-harvesting for energy applications. In the present study, the photochemical properties of phenothiazine aggregates were used for oxidative catalysis and synthesis of gold nanoparticles with potential applications in Boolean logic operations. Phenothiazines have the peculiar photochemical property, which is the stabilization of the photochemically-generated radical cation in their supramolecular aggregates. The phenothiazine radical cations exhibit pink color related to a broad visible spectral band with a peak at 520 nm. In the present study, the pair radical cation/reduced form of two phenothiazines, 10H-phenothiazine (PHT) and 3,7-bis (phenylamino) phenothiazine-5-iodide, named here phenoaniline (PHA) were photochemically generated and characterized by absorbance with a peak at the range of 520–550 nm, direct and spin-trapping EPR measurements. The radical cation was separated from the reduced form using the resin styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer containing iminodiacetate ions (Chelex 100®). The radical cation entrapped in the resin remained stable and could be used for catalytic oxidation processes. The reduced form remained in aqueous solution and had its reducing properties used to produce gold nanoparticles. Reduced PHT produced gold nanoparticles with dimensions around 7 nm that were arranged in monodispersed supramolecular aggregates of ~60 nm, stabilized by oligomerized phenothiazine, whereas PHA formed anisotropic gold nanoparticles. The supramolecular aggregates of AuNP PHT showed the potential to be applied in Boolean logic systems using CTAB dispersion and citrate reaggregation.

Abstract: The present review focuses on the proteins and peptides at the interfaces of nanostructured metals and semiconductors as a result of their use in synthesis in-situ and functionalization of nanostructures. We start the review with an introduction about the peculiar properties of nanostructured materials and their applications. In the following, the chemical and structural properties of peptides and proteins that allow their use as reducing, stabilizing, and functionalization agents are discussed. P roteins and peptides have not only the chemical groups for the metal ion reducing but also provide templates for directing the crystalline growing of nanostructures to the desired shapes and sizes. Proteins and peptides are also used mainly for the stabilization and functionalization of a diversity of nanostructured materials providing properties such as biocompatibility, plasmon-enhanced catalysis, sensing, micro/nanomotors, spin filters, and others. Nanostructured materials of metal oxides have mainly been functionalized with proteins and peptides to gain specific properties such as light harvesting and spin filters. Herein, we described the synthesis and functionalization of some types of nanostructured materials by using peptides and proteins. In the last part of the review, it is discussed the perspectives and challenges for the use of proteins and peptides in Nanotechnology.

Abstract: Process calculi are expressive specification languages for concurrency. They have been very successful in two research strands: (a) the analysis of security protocols and (b) the enforcement of correct message-passing programs. Despite their shared foundations, languages and reasoning techniques for (a) and (b) have been separately developed. Here we connect two representative calculi from (a) and (b): we encode a (high-level) $\pi $-calculus for multiparty sessions into a (low-level) applied $\pi $-calculus for security protocols. We establish the correctness of our encoding, and we show how it enables the integrated analysis of security properties and communication correctness by re-using existing tools.

Abstract: Nominal unification is an extension of first-order unification that takes into account the $\alpha $-equivalence relation generated by binding operators, following the nominal approach. We propose a sound and complete procedure for nominal unification with commutative operators, or nominal C-unification for short, which has been formalised in Coq. The procedure transforms nominal C-unification problems into simpler (finite families) of fixed point constraints, whose solutions can be generated by algebraic techniques on combinatorics of permutations.

Abstract: Climate change has become one of the most important global development issues in the current global political context. The impact of a changing climate is witnessed daily across nations north and south as a result of industrialization, greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, fossil fuel burning, and other human activities (Mignaquy, Gender perspectives on climate change, 2014: 3). It impedes basic human livelihoods to the extent that the lack of food, shelter, energy, water and problems in access to education and health impedes sustainable development. Climate change triggers other environmental problems affecting both food security and human security such as: flooding, storms, drought, desertification, deforestation, sea level rises, the melting of glaciers, increased soil salinity, and decreased availability of fresh water (Dankelman et al. Gender, climate change and human security: lessons from Bangladesh, Ghana and Senegal, ELIAMEP:WEDO, 1–71, 2008: 5). It is also a global threat to ensure sustainable international development. In the strategies for survival and sustainability, women hold a central role nowhere more so than in the global south where communities of the working poor struggle to meet basic needs and where climate change exacerbates existing constraints to sustainable development. This study will explore the gender-specific implications of climate change. Although climate change impacts globally, its impact is not equal everywhere due to geographical location, socioeconomic conditions, political will, poverty, and race and gender inequality. Consequently our case study Bangladesh is illustrative of the intersectionality of experience, needs and outcomes that need to be negotiated on the road to a global environmentally sustainable future

Abstract: The synthesis of highly stable silver colloids has been successfully achieved by using reducing/stabilizer amino-functionalized polymers without the aid of any other external agent. The polymer coated inorganic nanoparticles have been detailed characterized via scattering, imaging and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The combination of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and light scattering suggested nearly spherical structures stabilized by a lengthy polymeric shell with surface charge dependent on polymer nature and molecular weight. The hybrid nanomaterials are produced via an autocatalytic process where the onset of colloid formation is influenced by the available hydrophobic nitrogen units normalized by the weight of polymer. The induction period, however, does not influence the dimension of the metallic cores which are similar although with a high degree of dispersity. The coating confers a large hydrodynamic size to the silver nanoparticles and the length of the stabilizing shell is chiefly governed by the molecular weight of the amino-functionalized polymers. These features may significantly impact the cytotoxicity and bactericidal properties of the hybrid materials. These investigations are currently underway.

Abstract: We present an algorithm to decide the intruder deduction problem (IDP) for a class of equational theories that include associative and commutative (AC) operators. The algorithm is based on the analysis of reductions in the head of terms built from normal contexts using the initial knowledge of the intruder. It relies on a new and efficient algorithm to solve a restricted case of higher-order AC-matching. For the subclass of theories for which AC operators have inverses, our algorithm runs in polynomial time on the size of a saturated set built from the initial knowledge of the intruder. To illustrate, we apply the results to Pure AC theories, Abelian Groups, Abelian Groups extended with exponentiation, and XOR. Although specific algorithms have already been defined to deal with each of these theories, we provide a modular approach that can deal with all of them in a uniform way.

Abstract: In situ chemical oxidation using persulfate is one alternative to remediate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-contaminated soil; however, oxidation can lead to the formation of toxic and persistent by-products, and treatment efficiency can be dependent on environmental conditions. Temperature and soil matrix properties can dictate reaction rates and pathways, promoting oxidant activation or scavenging the free radicals generated. This research investigated the ability of persulfate to degrade anthracene in tropical environmental conditions. Batch tests were conducted for various persulfate systems (naturally and chelated-iron-activated), with an Oxisol contaminated with anthracene. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) was used to identify free radicals formed. Naturally activated persulfate degraded more than 96% of the anthracene and its by-product anthraquinone after 90 days, considered more toxic and persistent, while the chelated-iron-activated persulfate system used was able to remove 70% of the anthracene. EPR measurements showed the coexistence of SO4 ·− and ·OH radicals. Sulfate radicals were formed by thermal activation at ambient temperatures (mean of 23.7 °C), and ·OH was formed by propagation reactions and hydrolysis in acidic conditions that lead to peroxide formation. In the naturally activated system, anthracene degradation was observed and SO4 ·− radicals were abundant, indicating that this treatment system can be effective in a typical tropical soil environment.

Abstract: Business-to-customer platforms have become a popular option for digital and physical product shopping, accounting for high portions of total retail sales. Over the last decade, considerable effort has been directed towards capturing customer preferences and choices for recommendation and sales prediction purposes in large domains like music and shopping. However, modelling the dynamics of customer behaviour in the case of choice-constrained spaces has remained largely unexplored. Yet, accurate behaviour forecasting for meal-kit-delivery services, one such choice-constrained platform, is crucial for optimal inventory planning and control and for reducing food waste. In this work, we formulate customer behaviour within choice-constrained spaces as a multivariate multinomial problem, in order to capture the influence that multiple items may have on the final choice of customers. We will show how training our models using an autoregressive scheme enables predicting future user choices, and how this prediction can be corrected over time, using the data available from servicecustomer interaction. We compare the performance of logistic regressions and random forests in predicting the weekly purchase behavior of individual users, and we use these models to demonstrate high accuracy in predictions of the aggregate number of orders placed by all users each week.

Abstract: Mesoporous organosilicas containing covalently bound 1,8-naphthalimides (NI) were shown to be efficient heterogeneous catalysts for the photodegradation of methylene blue (MB), a typical textile pollutant. The NI-containing mesoporous silicas (SBANI materials) were prepared by a co-condensation reaction, in conditions similar to those used for inorganic SBA-15. For the photocatalytic tests, the SBANI materials were suspended in aqueous MB solutions, and the suspensions were irradiated with a 100 W Hg lamp (bandpass filter: 320–480 nm). The activity of the SBANI catalysts was proportional to the NI content in the sample. When MB was irradiated in the presence of a sample with high NI content, total bleaching of MB was observed after 300 min irradiation. In addition, blue shifts in the visible MB band were observed during irradiation. The results can be explained by concomitant mineralization and N -demethylation of MB. N -demethylation led to the formation of azure dyes, which were detected in the reaction mixtures after irradiation. The photocatalytic activity can be attributed to the formation of NI triplets, which can react with MB by both Type (II) (via oxygen reactive species) and Type I (via electron transfer) mechanisms.

Abstract: Phytoremediation is a technique that uses plants to decontaminate soils containing harmful organic and inorganic elements. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of three species of forage green manure in phytoremediation of saline soil irrigated with treated effluent from dairy processing plant. The design used was randomized blocks (3×3) with four replicates. The treatments were three different water sources (anaerobic treated effluent, aerobic treated effluent, and tap water) applied to growing table beets combined with the post-cultivation of three forage green manure: Calopogonium mucunoides Desv (Calopo), Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp (Pigeon pea), and Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Brown (Millet). The treatment with Millet had higher dry mass production with all water sources, although showing growth reduction after irrigation with anaerobic treated effluent. Millet presented higher sodium extraction efficiency (22.4 kg ha−1); however, it was not effective in soil phytoremediation because the exchangeable sodium percentage was not reduced to levels that allowed for new effluent input.

Abstract: In this study, we prepared translucid hydrogels with different concentrations of silk fibroin, extracted from raw silk fibers, and used them as a matrix to incorporate the photosensitizer 5-(4-aminophenyl)-10,15,20-tris-(4-sulphonatophenyl) porphyrin trisodium for application in photodynamic therapy (PDT). The hydrogels obtained were characterized by rheology, spectrophotometry, and scattering techniques to elucidate the factors involved in the formation of the hydrogel, and to characterize the behavior of silk fibroin (SF) after incorporating of the porphyrin to the matrix. The rheology results demonstrated that the SF hydrogels had a shear thinning behavior. In addition, we were able to verify that the structure of the material was able to be recovered over time after shear deformation. The encapsulation of porphyrins in hydrogels leads to the formation of self-assembled peptide nanostructures that prevent porphyrin aggregation, thereby greatly increasing the generation of singlet oxygen. Also, our findings suggest that porphyrin can diffuse out of the hydrogel and permeate the outer skin layers. This evidence suggests that SF hydrogels could be used as porphyrin encapsulation and as a drug carrier for the sustained release of photosensitizers for PDT.

Abstract: The β-glucosidases are important enzymes employed in a large number of processes and industrial applications, including biofuel production from biomass. Therefore, in this study, we reported for the first time the photobiosynthesis of stable and functional silver/silver chloride nanoparticles (Ag/AgCl-NPs) using two hyperthermostable bacterial β-glucosidases with industrial potential. The syntheses were straightforward and rapid processes carried out by mixing β-glucosidase and silver nitrate (in buffer 10mM Tris-HCl, pH 8) under irradiation with light (over a wavelength range of 450-600nm), therefore, compatible with the green chemistry procedure. Synthesized Ag/AgCl-NPs were characterized using a series of physical techniques. Absorption spectroscopy showed a strong absorption band centered at 460nm due to surface plasmon resonance of the Ag-NPs. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the Ag/AgCl-NPs were purely crystalline in nature. Under electron microscopy, Ag/AgCl-NPs of variable diameter ranging from 10 to 100nm can be visualized. Furthermore, electron microscopy, zeta potential and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results confirmed the presence of β-glucosidases coating and stabilizing the Ag/AgCl-NPs. Finally, the results showed that the enzymatic activities were maintained in the β-glucosidases assisted Ag/AgCl-NPs. The information described here should provide a useful basis for future studies of β-glucosidases assisted Ag/AgCl-NPs, including biotechnological applications.

Abstract: FAPESP [2012/07456-7, 2015/17688-0] CNPq CAPES [5583/2014-04] In the present study, alkaline peptides AAAXCX (X = lysine or arginine residues) were designed based on the conserved motif of the enzyme thioredoxin and used for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) in the pH range of 2-11. These peptides were compared with free cysteine, the counterpart acidic peptides AAAECE and gamma-ECG (glutathione), and the neutral peptide AAAACA. The objective was to investigate the effect of the amino acids neighboring a cysteine residue on the pH-dependent synthesis of gold nanocrystals. Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT) calculations indicated an increase in the reducing capacity of AAAKCK favored by the successive deprotonation of their ionizable groups at increasing pH values. Experimentally, it was observed that gold speciation and the peptide structure also have a strong influence on the synthesis and stabilization of GNPs. AAAKCK produced GNPs at room temperature, in the whole investigated pH range. By contrast, alkaline pH was the best condition for the synthesis of GNP assisted by the AAARCR peptide. The acidic peptides produced GNPs only in the presence of polyethylene glycol, and the synthesis using AAAECE and gamma-ECG also required heating. The ionization state of AAAKCK had a strong influence on the preferential growth of the GNPs. Therefore, pH had a remarkable effect on the synthesis, kinetics, size, shape, and polydispersity of GNPs produced using AAAKCK. The AAAKCK peptide produced anisotropic decahedral and platelike nanocrystals at acidic pH values and spherical GNPs at alkaline pH values. Both alkaline peptides were also efficient capping agents for GNPs, but they produced a significant difference in the zeta potential, probably because of different orientations on the gold surface.

Abstract: The present study aimed to investigate the influence of albumin structure and gold speciation on the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (GNPs). The strategy of synthesis was the addition of HAuCl4 solutions at different pH values (3-12) to solutions of human and bovine serum albumins (HSA and BSA) at the same corresponding pH values. Different pH values influence the GNP synthesis due to gold speciation. Besides the inherent effect of pH on the native structure of albumins, the use N-ethylmaleimide (NEM)-treated and heat-denaturated forms of HSA and BSA provided additional insights about the influence of protein structure, net charge, and thiol group approachability on the GNP synthesis. NEM treatment, heating, and the extreme values of pH promoted loss of the native albumin structure. The formation of GNPs indicated by the appearance of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) bands became detectable from 15 days of the synthesis processes that were carried out with native, NEM-treated and heat-denaturated forms of HSA and BSA, exclusively at pH 6 and 7. After 2 months of incubation, SPR band was also detected for all synthesis carried out at pH 8.0. The mean values of the hydrodynamic radius (RH) were 24 and 34 nm for GNPs synthesized with native HSA and BSA, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed crystallites of 13 nm. RH, XRD, and zeta potential values were consistent with GNP capping by the albumins. However, the GNPs produced with NEM-treated and heat-denaturated albumins exhibited loss of protein capping by lowering the ionic strength. This result suggests a significant contribution of non-electrostatic interactions of albumins with the GNP surface, in these conditions. The denaturation of proteins exposes hydrophobic groups to the solvent, and these groups could interact with the gold surface. In these conditions, the thiol blockage or oxidation, the latter probably favored upon heating, impaired the formation of a stable capping by thiol coordination with the gold surface. Therefore, the cysteine side chain of albumins is important for the colloidal stabilization of GNPs rather than as the reducing agent for the synthesis. Despite the presence of more reactive gold species at more acidic pH values, i.e., below 6.0, in these conditions the loss of native albumin structure impaired GNP synthesis. Alkaline pH values (9-12) combined the unfavorable conditions of denaturated protein structure with less reactive gold species. Therefore, an optimal condition for the synthesis of GNPs using serum albumins involves more reactive gold salt species combined with a reducing and negatively charged form of the protein, all favored at pH 6-7.

Abstract: Geological disasters such as slope failure and landslides can cause loss of life and property. Therefore, reproducing their evolution process is of great importance for risk assessment and mitigation. The recently developed SIMSAND critical state sand model combined with the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method is adopted in this work to study slope failure under large deformations. To illustrate the efficiency and accuracy of the SIMSAND-SPH approach, a series of slope collapse studies using the discrete element method (DEM) considering various particle shapes (i.e. spherical, tetrahedral and elongated) is adopted as benchmarks. The parameters of the SIMSAND model are calibrated using DEM triaxial tests. In comparison to the DEM simulations, the runout distance and final slope height are well characterized with the SIMSAND-SPH approach with less computational cost. All comparisons show that the SIMSAND-SPH approach is highly efficient and accurate, which can be an alternative numerical tool to simulate real scale granular flow.

Abstract: It has been proposed that magnetic flux expulsion due to outer core fluid upwellings may affect the geomagnetic secular variation on the core-mantle boundary (Bloxham, 1986). In this process intense horizontal field lines are concentrated below the outer boundary, introducing small radial length scales and consequently strong radial diffusion. We explore such magnetic boundary layers in numerical dynamo simulations with heterogeneous outer boundary heat flux inferred from a tomographic model of lower mantle seismic shear waves velocity anomalies. Our scheme associates magnetic boundary layers to peak horizontal magnetic fields at the top of the shell. In our models mean magnetic boundary layer thickness ranges ≈200-400 km and decreases with increasing magnetic Reynolds number. Extrapolation or interpolation to Earth's core conditions based on total core flow amplitude or its poloidal part gives mean magnetic boundary layer thickness of ≈220 and ≈260-330 km, respectively. We find magnetic boundary layers associated with the azimuthal field at the equatorial region, whereas magnetic boundary layers associated with the meridional field are found at mid latitudes. Negative outer boundary heat flux anomalies yield preferred locations of expulsion of azimuthal field below Africa and the Pacific (at low latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere.), while positive outer boundary heat flux anomalies yield preferred locations of expulsion of meridional field below the Americas and East Asia. Our results suggest that the local diffusion time is on the order of several kyr and the local magnetic Reynolds number is on the order of ≈10, both much smaller than classical estimates., The 28th IUGG General Assembly (IUGG2023) (Berlin 2023)

Abstract: International audience; Li-ion batteries are growing in demand and such growth calls for the quest for high-energy-density electrode materials. Li-rich layered oxides that show both cationic and anionic redox are expected to meet the high energy requirement. However, the oxygen anion activity triggers numerous structural and electronic rearrangements that need to be understood prior to envisioning applications. Here, we chemically design two new LixIrS2 polymorphs to further interrogate the mechanisms of the ligand redox process. By combined structural and spectroscopic characterizations, we show that electrochemical lithiation/delithiation of the polymorphs involve different sulfur redox couples that stand as unusual behavior. These structure-dependent kinetic pathways lead to an similar to 1 V difference between the two polymorphs, hence providing the missing link between the structure and hysteresis in anionic redox systems. These insights into the origin of hysteresis can guide proper parameters to cure it, hence laying the groundwork for the design of new practical electrode materials.

Abstract: International audience; Ambipolar materials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, or 2D transition metal chalcogenides are very attractive for a large range of applications, namely, light-emitting transistors, logic circuits, gas sensors, flash memories, and solar cells. In this work, it is shown that the nanoarchitectonics of inorganic Mo(6) cluster-based iodides enable to form thin films exhibiting photophysical properties that enable their classification as new members of the restricted family of ambipolar materials. Thus, the electronic properties of the ternary iodide Cs(2)[{Mo(6)I(8)(i)}I(6)(a)] and those of thin films of the aqua-complex-based compound [{Mo(6)I(8)(i)}I(4)(a)(H(2)O)(2)(a)]·xH(2)O were investigated through an in-depth photoelectrochemical study. Once hole/electron pairs are created, the holes and electrons turn to be transported simultaneously in opposite directions, and their lifetimes exhibit similar values. The ambipolar properties were demonstrated via the integration of [{Mo(6)I(8)(i)}I(4)(a)(H(2)O)(2)(a)]·xH(2)O as light harvesters in an all-solid solar cell. A significant photoresponse with a typical diode characteristic clearly provides evidence of the simultaneous transfer and transport of holes and electrons within the [{Mo(6)I(8)(i)}I(4)(a)(H(2)O)(2)(a)]·xH(2)O layer. The ambipolar behavior results, on the one hand, from the confinement of electrons imposed by the nanometric size of the molecular metal clusters and, on the other hand, from the poor electronic interactions between clusters in the solid state. Such molecular structure-based layers lead naturally to an intrinsic semiconducting behavior.

Abstract: International audience; The Gaussian-Lorentzian sum (GLS) and product (GLP) functions remain important in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) peak fitting. Here, we present a detailed view of these functions, comparing them with each other and with the Voigt function (the "LA(m)" function). First, we show the GLS, GLP, and LA(m) functions as a function of their mixing parameters, m, which reveals differences between them. We then illustrate the use of these functions to fit a series of spectra acquired at different pass energies (resolutions). Next, we show the underlying Gaussian and Lorentzian components of a series of GLS and GLP functions as a function of m, which confirms that the GLS is a simple linear combination of Gaussian and Lorentzian functions. However, one of the two functions used to make the GLP can be very wide, that is, at its extremes, one of these functions has infinite width. We then discuss a plot of the areas of the GLS, GLP, and LA(m) functions as a function of m, which reveals the expected, linear increase in area of the GLS, but nonlinear changes in the areas of the other two functions. Finally, to better understand them, we fit these functions to each other. These results indicate that the GLS and GLP better match the LA(m) function at lower and higher values of the mixing parameter, respectively.

Abstract: International audience; A series of automatic time-lapse cameras installed along the southwestern side of Tasiapik Valley, near the village of Umiujaq, Nunavik (northern Québec) documented several departure modes and types of snow involved in snow avalanches during winter 2017-2018. These included cornice-avalanche dynamics, slab and loose snow avalanches, and clean and dirty snow avalanches. At the top of the selected slope, a camera monitored the development of a snow cornice beginning in November 2017, detecting multiple cornice failures over the winter and spring. The track and deposition area of the runout paths were monitored from two cameras downslope, revealing the concomitance of snow-cornice fall and snow avalanche triggering. Snow avalanche activity remained relatively infrequent until the end of May 2018. Spring snow avalanche activity is characterized by wet and dirty snow avalanches carrying debris to the foot of the slope and by runout zones located near the road along the slope.

Abstract: International audience; Plasma etching techniques can result in damage and contamination of materials, which, if not removed, can interfere with further processing. Therefore, characterisation of the etched surface is necessary to understand the basic mechanisms involved in the etching process and enable process control and cleaning procedures to be developed. A detailed investigation by means of the combined use of scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEM/EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and optical microscopy (OM) has been carried out on deep titanium trenches etched by plasma. This innovative approach has provided a further insight into the microchemical structure of the surface contamination layer on both the titanium and the nickel hard mask surfaces. The described experiments were conducted on 25 to 100-mu m wide trenches, first etched in bulk titanium by an optimised Cl-2/SF6/O-2-based inductively coupled plasma process, through an electroplated nickel hard mask. The results allow to identify chlorine, fluorine and carbon as the main contaminating agents of the nickel mask and to associate three oxidation states around the etched trenches highlighting certain specific aspects related to the passivation mechanism. These observations reinforce the scientific relevance of the combined use of complementary optical and imaging analytical techniques.

Abstract: Aims and context: Dark diversity is an emerging and promising concept proposed to estimate the recruitment potential of natural communities and guide conservation and restoration policies. It represents all the species that could be present in a community due to favourable environmental conditions, but are currently lacking. To date, experimental approaches only measured taxonomic dark diversity, mainly based on species coexistence, which relies partly on neutral processes. Thus, these approaches may fail to identify the biodiversity which is lacking for deterministic reasons, and can hence hardly bring out suitable restoration methods. Methods: Here, we propose a novel method to estimate dark diversity, which is based on more deterministic coexistence: the coexistence of functional features. We adapted the Beals co-occurrence index using functional groups, and we estimated functional dark diversity based on coexistence of functional groups. We then made use of functional dark diversity to address a persistent issue of restoration ecology: how does passive rewilding impact the ecological integrity of recovered communities? We compared spontaneous, secondary woodlands with ancient forests, in terms of taxonomic and functional dark diversity of vascular plants and spiders. Results: Our results indicated that functional dark diversity does not equate to taxonomic dark diversity. Considering plants, recent woodlands surprisingly harboured less functional dark diversity than ancient forests, while they had a very similar amount of taxonomic dark diversity. Concerning spiders, recent woodlands harboured a similar amount of functional dark diversity as ancient forests, but more taxonomic dark diversity. Also, the composition of functional dark diversity differed between forest types, shedding light on their past assembly processes and unveiling their potential for conservation and effective restoration. Synthesis: Functional dark diversity brings novel perspectives for ecological diagnostic and restoration. Combined to taxonomic dark diversity, it enables to identify easily the deterministic constrains which limit the re-assembly of ecological communities after land-use changes and to predict the realistic, possible establishments of functional features. Here, we showed that spontaneous woodlands can have very similar, sometimes even higher, ecological integrity than that of ancient forests, and hence may be valuable habitats to be conserved from an ecological perspective.
