Abstract: Con relación al sector lácteo se analiza una situación excepcional caracterizada por mercados altamente regulados y protegidos, tanto en el escenario mundial como regional. Espacialmente, la posibilidad de contrastar los casos de integración regional de la cadena en diferentes acuerdos del continente, aparece igualmente sugestiva debido a las diferencias estructurales que permiten cualificar de mejor forma obstáculos propios de cada proceso y que contribuyen a enriquecer interpretaciones que se alejan de los modelos formales. En cuanto al sector textil y confecciones en la subregión, se hace un breve recuento en materia de condiciones de producción y de comercio. Se analiza a su vez, el entorno macroeconómico de los países andinos y se presentan las principales características de las políticas comerciales y sectoriales que regulan el sector tanto en el ámbito nacional como en el subregional así como el impacto del proceso de integración.

Abstract: Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most prevalent pathogens causing bovine mastitis in the world, in part because of its ease of adaptation to various hosts and the environment. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of S. aureus in Colombian dairy farms and its relationship with the causal network of subclinical mastitis. From thirteen dairy farms enrolled, 1288 quarter milk samples (QMS) and 330 teat samples were taken from cows with positive (70.1%) and negative California Mastitis Test (CMT). In addition, 126 samples from the milking parlor environment and 40 from workers (nasal) were collected. On each dairy farm, a survey was conducted, and the milking process was monitored on the day of sampling. S. aureus was identified in 176 samples, i.e., 138 QMS, 20 from teats, 8 from the milking parlor environment, and 10 from workers’ nasal swabs. Isolates identified as S. aureus underwent proteomics (clustering of mass spectrum) and molecular (tuf, coa, spa Ig, clfA, and eno genes) analysis. Regarding proteomics results, isolates were distributed into three clusters, each with members from all sources and all farms. Concerning molecular analysis, the virulence-related genes clfA and eno were identified in 41.3% and 37.8% of S. aureus isolates, respectively. We provide evidence on the circulation of S. aureus strains with limited variability among animals, humans, and the environment. The parameters with the lowest compliance in the farms which may be implicated in the transmission of S. aureus are the lack of handwashing and abnormal milk handling.

Abstract: International audience; The rapidly growing field of mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) basic and translational research requires standardization of terminology and functional characterization. The International Standards Organization’s (ISO) Technical Committee (TC) on Biotechnology, working with extensive input from the International Society for Cells and Gene Therapy (ISCT), has recently published ISO standardization documents that are focused on biobanking of MSCs from two tissue sources, Wharton’s Jelly, MSC(WJ) and Bone Marrow, MSC(M)), for research and development purposes and development. This manuscript explains the path towards the consensus on the following two documents: the Technical Standard ISO/TS 22859 for MSC(WJ) and the full ISO Standard 24651 for MSC(M) biobanking. The ISO standardization documents are aligned with ISCT’s MSC committee position and recommendations on nomenclature because there was active input and incorporation of ISCT MSC committee recommendations in the development of these standards. The ISO standardization documents contain both requirements and recommendations for functional characterization of MSC(WJ) and MSC(M) using a matrix of assays. Importantly, the ISO standardization documents have a carefully defined scope and are meant for research use of culture expanded MSC(WJ) and MSC(M). The ISO standardization documents can be updated in a revision process and will be systematically reviewed after 3-5 years as scientific insights grow. They represent international consensus on MSC identity, definition, and characterization; are rigorous in detailing multivariate characterization of MSCs and represent an evolving-but-important first step in standardization of MSC biobanking and characterization for research use and development.

Abstract: The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015−2030’s (SFDRR) framing moved away from disaster risk as a natural phenomenon to the examination of the inequality and injustice at the root of human vulnerability to hazards and disasters. Yet, its achievements have not seriously challenged the long-established capitalist systems of oppression that hinder the development leading to disaster risk creation. This article is an exploratory mapping exercise of and a collective reflection on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and SFDRR indicators—and their use in measuring progress towards disaster risk reduction (DRR). We highlight that despite the rhetoric of vulnerability, the measurement of progress towards DRR remains event/hazard-centric. We argue that the measurement of disaster risk could be greatly enhanced by the integration of development data in future iterations of global DRR frameworks for action.

Abstract: International audience; The Founding Parties previously agreed to combine forces in order to create a pan-European entity that will be invested with the mission of bringing industrial bioprocesses to maturity more quickly, linking best-in-class R&D facilities to provide seamless multi-technology services. They are currently present in eight (8) European member states and the United Kingdom. IBISBA will be a European distributed multi-site research infrastructure (RI). The Founding Parties cooperated to prepare and support a candidature that was presented to the European Science Forum for Research Infrastructure (ESFRI) by French government authorities. Having been successful, in September 2018 IBISBA was added to the ESFRI roadmap, which constitutes the European Union’s strategy document for RI. It is expected that IBISBA will become a fully-fledged operational infrastructure within the next 10 years and before September 2028. Operation of IBISBA requires the creation of a legal entity, EU-IBISBA, that will serve as the vector to deliver the IBISBA vision, providing a range of services to support R&I in industrial biotechnology The Founding Parties of the IBISBA Vision have already built and launched, under the coordination of INRAE, two Horizon 2020 projects: IBISBA 1.0 (2017-2021, Grant Agreement n° 730976), and/or PREP-IBISBA (2020-2024, Grant Agreement n° 871118): Within the framework of IBISBA 1.0, the Founding Parties have provided a first demonstration of how the future pan-European entity can achieve its goals. Focusing on the different R&D phases in bioprocess development and working in the framework of IBISBA 1.0, consortium partners are offering transnational access to their RI, developing some basic procedures for harmonization of business practices, defining certain business processes and developing web-based informatics tools to support IBISBA and the management of its knowledge assets. Since 1st January 2020 and for 48 months, the Founding Parties are now engaged in an IBISBA Preparatory Phase (PREP-IBISBA) that is funded by the European Commission and governed by a Consortium Agreement signed by its beneficiaries. The aim of this project is to support activities that will bring the IBISBA vision to fruition and lead to the creation of a legal entity, consistent with the expectations of the ESFRI committee and the declared willingness of the Founding Parties, but also to begin implementation of IBISBA business processes, this phase being programmed to begin during PREP-IBISBA and to extend beyond it. PREP-IBISBA is executed by the Founding Parties, but it involves a wide range of stakeholders (RI owners, RI users and founders) who will play a variety of roles in the preparation and implementation of EU-IBISBA. Although PREP-IBISBA provides a framework and partial funding to prepare and implement IBISBA, the resources supplied by PREP-IBISBA are insufficient to meet all the needs of a fully-fledged pan-European research infrastructure. Therefore, the Founding Parties must engage in work aimed at identifying financial and material resources to ensure EU-IBISBA sustainability and ultimately secure its success at the end of the 10-year period. IBISBA intends to federate a global community of IB practitioners and stakeholders. Therefore, during the preparation and growth phases, it is anticipated that New Parties, pursuing technical, scientific, business or political goals and representing public or private sector interests, will join the Founding Parties to support the IBISBA Vision, in the field of Industrial Biotechnology (see definition in Attachment 1). This Agreement provides non-binding guidelines to all IBISBA partners.

Abstract: The reaction of N-phenyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)methanimine with copper chloride dihydrate produced the title neutral complex, [CuCl2(C12H10N2)(H2O)]·H2O. The CuII ion is five-coordinated in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry, in which the two N atoms of the bidentate Schiff base, as well as one chloro and a water molecule, form the irregular base of the pyramidal structure. Meanwhile, the apical chloride ligand interacts through a strong hydrogen bond with a water molecule of crystallization. In the crystal, molecules are arranged in pairs, forming a stacking of symmetrical cyclic dimers that interact in turn through strong hydrogen bonds between the chloride ligands and both the coordinated and the crystallization water molecules. The molecular and electronic structures of the complex were also studied in detail using EPR (continuous and pulsed), FT–IR and Raman spectroscopy, as well as magnetization measurements. Likewise, Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to investigate the intermolecular interactions in the crystal packing., Centro de Química Inorgánica, Instituto de Física La Plata

In a large international collaboration (Study 1, N = 49,968 across 67 countries), we investigated self-reported factors associated with public health behaviours (e.g., spatial distancing and stricter hygiene) and endorsed public policy interventions (e.g., closing bars and restaurants) during the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic (April-May 2020). Respondents who reported identifying more strongly with their nation consistently reported greater engagement in public health behaviours and support for public health policies. Results were similar for representative and non-representative national samples. Study 2 (N = 42 countries) conceptually replicated the central finding using aggregate indices of national identity (obtained using the World Values Survey) and a measure of actual behaviour change during the pandemic (obtained from Google mobility reports). Higher levels of national identification prior to the pandemic predicted lower mobility during the early stage of the pandemic (r = −0.40). We discuss the potential implications of links between national identity, leadership, and public health for managing COVID-19 and future pandemics.

Abstract: 10.3389/fpls.2022.992663 initial avant correction; International audience; The OMICAS alliance is part of the Colombian government's Scientific Ecosystem, established between 2017-2018 to promote world-class research, technological advancement and improved competency of higher education across the nation. Since the program's kick-off, OMICAS has focused on consolidating and validating a multi-scale, multi-institutional, multi-disciplinary strategy and infrastructure to advance discoveries in plant science and the development of new technological solutions for improving agricultural productivity and sustainability. The strategy and methods described in this article, involve the characterization of different crop models, using high-throughput, real-time phenotyping technologies as well as experimental tissue characterization at different levels of the omits hierarchy and under contrasting conditions, to elucidate epigenome-, genome-, proteome- and metabolome-phenome relationships. The massive data sets are used to derive in-silico models, methods and tools to discover complex underlying structure-function associations, which are then carried over to the production of new germplasm with improved agricultural traits. Here, we describe OMICAS' R&D trans-disciplinary multi-project architecture, explain the overall strategy and methods for crop-breeding, recent progress and results, and the overarching challenges that lay ahead in the field.

Abstract: International audience; Sharks are fished for human consumption in Colombia, and fins are exported illegally to international markets. The goal was to identify differences in total mercury (THg) concentrations in fins and muscles of shark species seized in the Buenaventura port (Colombian Pacific), and to assess potential human health risks related to shark consumption. Seven species were considered in this study: Pelagic Thresher (Alopias pelagicus), Pacific Smalltail Shark (Carcharhinus cerdale), Brown Smoothhound (Mustelus henlei), Sicklefin Smoothhound (Mustelus lunulatus), Scalloped Bonnethead (Sphyrna corona), Scalloped Hammerhead (Sphyrna lewini), and Bonnethead Shark (Sphyrna tiburo), and THg was analyzed in shark tissues. 24% muscle samples concentrations were above international recommended limits for human consumption, especially for A. pelagicus and S. lewini. Stable isotopes (δ13C and δ15N) analysis showed a foraging overlapping in coastal habitats, where overfishing usually occurs. This study provides useful scientific information to develop management plans for sharks in Colombia and neighboring countries.

Abstract: International audience; Let L be a distributive lattice and E(L) be the set of join endomorphisms of L. We consider the problem of finding f E(L) g given L and f, g ∈ E(L) as inputs. (1) We show that it can be solved in time O(n) where n = |L|. The previous upper bound was O(n^2). (2) We characterize the standard notion of distributed knowledge of a group as the greatest lower bound of the joinendomorphisms representing the knowledge of each member of the group. (3) We show that deciding whether an agent has the distributed knowledge of two other agents can be computed in time O(n^2) where n is the size of the underlying set of states. (4) For the special case of S5 knowledge, we show that it can be decided in time O(nα_n) where α_n is the inverse of the Ackermann function.

Abstract: International audience; This work presents an analysis of the full-bridge voltage inverter widely used to supply dielectric barrier discharges. The main contribution of this work is the deduction of the analytical equations for the delivered power, peak voltage and duration of the discharge as a function of the DC input voltage and of the switching frequency, but also, as a function of the parasitic elements of the transformer and the parameters of the DBD load. To date, these equations are not found in the literature and are useful to design a power converter complying with specifications derived from plasma process requirements. The state plane is used to understand the different sub-intervals taking place in an entire switching period. The equations are verified using a simple example of design, which implementation accurately obeys the sizing equations, and provide the expected performances.

Abstract: International audience; This paper presents a decentralised control strategy for the balancing of the cell-voltages of a Flying Capacitor Multilevel Converter implementing a large number of cells to address high conversion ratio. The originality of this work is that no reference is required for regulating the capacitor voltages leading to an auto-balance capability. It is composed of several local cell-voltage balancing controllers and a global load-current regulator. For theoretical analysis purpose a change of state-variables is proposed leading to a new model of the converter. Then the study of the decentralised balancing method is performed based on a modal analysis of the system. A decoupling between the output current regulation and the cell-voltage balancing loops is proposed, then observed. The synthesis of the controllers, guaranteeing the stability of the system within a large bandwidth for each mode, is obtained. To address fault-tolerance requirement, this decentralised control strategy provides an interesting ability of auto-reconfiguration allowing to change the number of active cells during operation. Simulations of separated modal responses show the stability and bandwidth of the control loops for DC/DC 500V to 16V high conversion ratio application. Experimental results performed on a 5-cell multilevel converter demonstrate the validity of the proposed control method.

Abstract: International audience; Treatment of NOx pollutants in the gas outlet of various industrial processes, by mean of non-thermal plasma has been studied in several past works and has exhibited interesting prospects. Reactor design and plasma/catalyst mixed systems have been recently the main directions investigated for performances improvement. Nevertheless, improvements in electrical energy injection control by means of the power supply are still required to achieve efficient practical applications.In order to carry parametric investigations, concerning different DBD reactors and power supplies, an automated test-bench has been set-up and is presented: it comprises a control apparatus for inlet gas mixture and flow, a real time measurement module for all electrical variables and for gas analysis, a data acquisition interface and a fully controlled power supply, delivering square current pulses. This square current source can control the electrical power of the DBD by means of three degrees of freedom (frequency, amplitude and duration of the current pulses), and the system is used to perform automatic sweeps of these electric variables, saving the results of each experiment. Details about the operating principle of the power supply and its design are going to be presented as well as test bench experimental results and NOx destruction performances.

Abstract: Sewer asset management gained momentum and importance in recent years due to economic considerations, since infrastructure maintenance and rehabilitation directly represent major investments. Because physical urban water infrastructure has life expectancies of up to 100 years or more, contemporary urban drainage systems are strongly influenced by historical decisions and implementations. The current decisions taken in sewer asset management will, therefore, have a long-lasting impact on the functionality and quality of future services provided by these networks. These decisions can be supported by different approaches ranging from various inspection techniques, deterioration models to assess the probability of failure or the technical service life, to sophisticated decision support systems crossing boundaries to other urban infrastructure. This paper presents the state of the art in sewer asset management in its manifold facets spanning a wide field of research and highlights existing research gaps while giving an outlook on future developments and research areas. © 2020 The Author(s).

Abstract: Purpose Low-porosity endovascular stents, known as flow diverters (FDs), have been proposed as an effective and minimally invasive treatment for sidewall intracranial aneurysms (IAs). Although it has been reported that the efficacy of a FD is substantially influenced by its porosity, clinical doctors would clearly prefer to do their interventions optimally based on refined quantitative data. This study focuses on the association between the porosity configurations and the FD efficacy, in order to provide practical data to help the clinical doctors optimize the interventions. Method Numerical simulations in fluid dynamics were performed using four patient-specific IA geometries, pulsatile velocity profiles and braided fully resolved FDs. The variation of velocity and wall shear stress within the IAs, were investigated in this study. Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) was used to solve the main challenge centered on the diversity of spatial scales since the typical diameter of struts of FDs is only 25 μ m while the artery normally can be larger by a hundred times. Results Numerical simulations revealed that the blood flow within IA sac was substantially reduced when the porosity is less than 86%. In particular, the flow condition within each IA sac is favorite to initialize thrombus formation when porosity is less than 70%. Conclusion Our study suggests the existence of a porosity threshold below which the efficacy of a FD will be sufficient for the patients to initialize the thrombus formation. Therefore, by estimating the porosity of FD on patient-specific information, it may be potentially to predict whether or the blood flow condition will successfully become prothrombotic after the FD intervention.

Abstract: In this study, the conformational behavior of N-benzyl-N-(furan-2-ylmethyl) acetamide in chloroform was addressed by using a combined experimental/theoretical strategy using NMR spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations. The 1H and 13C one-dimensional NMR spectra, as well as the two-dimensional HSQC-DEPT and HMBC-DEPT NMR spectra, evinced the presence of a hindered cis(E)-trans(Z) rotational equilibrium in solution. DFT calculations were performed at different theoretical levels using the polarizable continuum model (PCM) and predicted nine (four Z and five E structures) stable conformations. The interconversion dynamics among the different confirmations were established in terms of four different rotational equilibria in CDCl3. The chemical shifts in the 1H and 13C NMR spectra of the compound are similar to the values calculated for the two most abundant conformational equilibria at room temperature, one caused by two Z rotamers and the other by two E rotamers. The compound was also characterized for the first time by FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, and GC/MS spectrometry. Additionally, several acylation methodologies for synthesizing the title compound from N-benzyl-1-(furan-2-yl)methanamine were tested which resulted in high yields (> 90%) under very convenient conditions (10 min, at room temperature).

Abstract: International audience; Since its first valid description by Linnaeus in 1753, the genus Delphinium L. has undergone numerous taxonomical changes that we synthesize here. The knowledge of the taxonomic history of the genus is essential to clarify its circumscription. For this purpose, we outline its pre-Linnaean taxonomic history, from Dioscorides’ translated works dating back to the 16th century to Tournefort’s classificationin 1694. Regarding its post-Linnaean history, we discuss the three different lectotypifications proposed during in the 20th century. In addition, we amend the description of the typical flower of Delphinium by including the characteristics of the species D. ecalcaratum S.Y. Wang & K.F. Zhou and D. turcicum (H.Duman, Vural, Aytaç & Adigüzel) Espinosa with actinomorphic flowers.; Depuis la première description valide du genre Delphinium L. en 1753 par Linné, celui-ci a subi de nombreuses modifications taxonomiques, dont la synthèse est proposée ici.

Abstract: International audience; This paper proposes a novel radio access mechanism for massive Internet of Things (IoT) services over TV White Spaces (TVWS). The proposal considers TVWS as the suitable frequency bands for facing the limited-spectrum problem in massive IoT services. The radio access mechanism is based on regulatory policies by interacting with a TVWS Geolocation Database through the Protocol to Access White-Space (PAWS) and using several Master Devices (MD)s. With this approach, IoT devices require neither geolocation receiver in the deployments, nor different frequency bands for initialization process within PAWS. Regarding the evaluation of the radio access mechanism, we explore different types of deployments and coverage areas. This paper also describes the optimization process to obtain the maximum service area, while maintaining an outage probability below a given objective. Moreover, we evaluate the performance of a loaded network with the maximum service area, with respect to a reference case with one MD. We evidence that the average packet loss probability is reduced by 26% when the load is equal to 80% in our proposal.

Abstract: This work presents the analysis of the bipolar square voltage source composed of a full bridge and a step-up transformer, widely used to supply dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) systems for the generation of non-thermal plasma. First, an electrical schematic of the source is shown that includes the capacitive behavior of the discharges and parasitic elements of the transformer, to explain the operation. As a result of the proposed model, it was found that the leakage inductance of the transformer has an important role to explain the behavior of the voltage and current waveforms of the DBD. Using the electrical circuits classical theory and the state plane (commonly used in the analysis of the resonant converter), equations were developed for important characteristics in the design of plasma power supplies, such as the average power delivered to the DBD, the maximum peak voltage, and the discharge duration, as a function not only of the input voltage and the switching frequency but also of some parasitic elements of the transformer and the parameters of the electrical model of the reactor where the DBD happens. The analysis and the equations developed are a new contribution useful for designers of power supplies of non-thermal plasma systems, that permits to avoid transformer and semiconductor oversizing that increases manufacturing costs. Finally, the model and the equations are compared with some experimental results using an Excimer lamp as a reactor for the DBD., Este trabajo presenta el análisis de una fuente de voltaje bipolar cuadrada compuesta por un puente completo y un transformador elevador, utilizada ampliamente como suministro para sistemas de descarga de barrera dieléctrica (DBD) en la generación de plasma no térmico. Primero se expone un esquema eléctrico de la fuente que incluye el comportamiento capacitivo de las descargas y elementos parásitos del transformador, para explicar el funcionamiento. Como resultado del modelo propuesto, se encontró que la inductancia de fugas del transformador tiene un rol importante para explicar el comportamiento de las formas de onda de voltaje y corriente de la DBD. Utilizando la teoría clásica de circuitos eléctricos y el plano de fase (usado más comúnmente en el análisis de convertidores resonantes), se obtuvieron ecuaciones para características importantes en el diseño de las fuentes de alimentación para plasma, como la potencia promedio suministrada a la DBD, el voltaje pico máximo y la duración de la descarga, en función no solo del voltaje de entrada y la frecuencia de conmutación, sino también de los algunos elementos parásitos del transformador y los parámetros del modelo eléctrico del reactor donde se produzca la DBD. El análisis y las ecuaciones desarrolladas son una nueva contribución útil para los diseñadores de fuentes de alimentación de sistemas de plasma no térmico, que permiten evitar el sobredimensionamiento en los semiconductores y del transformador que incrementan los costos de fabricación. Finalmente se compara el modelo y las ecuaciones con algunos resultados experimentales usando una lámpara Excimer como reactor para la DBD.

Abstract: Seizure detection is a routine process in epilepsy units requiring manual intervention of well-trained specialists. This process could be extensive, inefficient and time-consuming, especially for long term recordings. We proposed an automatic method to detect epileptic seizures using an imaged-EEG representation of brain signals. To accomplish this, we analyzed EEG signals from two different datasets: the CHB-MIT Scalp EEG database and the EPILEPSIAE project that includes scalp and intracranial recordings. We used fully convolutional neural networks to automatically detect seizures. For our best model, we reached average accuracy and specificity values of 99.3% and 99.6%, respectively, for the CHB-MIT dataset, and corresponding values of 98.0% and 98.3% for the EPILEPSIAE patients. For these patients, the inclusion of intracranial electrodes together with scalp ones increased the average accuracy and specificity values to 99.6% and 58.3%, respectively. Regarding the other metrics, our best model reached average precision of 62.7%, recall of 58.3%, F-measure of 59.0% and AP of 54.5% on the CHB-MIT recordings, and comparatively lowers performances for the EPILEPSIAE dataset. For both databases, the number of false alarms per hour reached values less than 0.5/h for 92% of the CHB-MIT patients and less than 1.0/h for 80% of the EPILEPSIAE patients. Compared to recent studies, our lightweight approach does not need any estimation of pre-selected features and demonstrates high performances with promising possibilities for the introduction of such automatic methods in the clinical practice.

Abstract: International audience; Sharks are fished for human consumption in Colombia, and fins are exported illegally to international markets. The goal was to identify differences in total mercury (THg) concentrations in fins and muscles of shark species seized in the Buenaventura port (Colombian Pacific), and to assess potential human health risks related to shark consumption. Seven species were considered in this study: Pelagic Thresher (Alopias pelagicus), Pacific Smalltail Shark (Carcharhinus cerdale), Brown Smoothhound (Mustelus henlei), Sicklefin Smoothhound (Mustelus lunulatus), Scalloped Bonnethead (Sphyrna corona), Scalloped Hammerhead (Sphyrna lewini), and Bonnethead Shark (Sphyrna tiburo), and THg was analyzed in shark tissues. 24% muscle samples concentrations were above international recommended limits for human consumption, especially for A. pelagicus and S. lewini. Stable isotopes (δ13C and δ15N) analysis showed a foraging overlapping in coastal habitats, where overfishing usually occurs. This study provides useful scientific information to develop management plans for sharks in Colombia and neighboring countries.

Abstract: International audience; Companies considering adopting a product line engineering approach should ideally analyze the pros and cons to determine the sound reasons for this decision. In order to support this analysis, in previous work we proposed the APPLIES evaluation framework. This framework provides information to evaluate the convenience of adopting a product line engineering approach. This paper presents an empirical evaluation of APPLIES. This experience includes 18 potential practitioners that used the framework to evaluate the convenience of adopting product line engineering in 19 different companies. The collected evidence was used to evaluate the perceived usefulness, intention to use and ease of use of APPLIES. The results presented increase confidence that APPLIES is a useful tool, but also identify some possibilities for improvement. In addition, four categories for classifying potential adopters of product line engineering emerged during the analysis of the results: unprepared adopter, potential adopter, ready adopter, and unmotivated adopter. These categories could be useful to classify companies that are considering adopting product line engineering.

Abstract: Leaf nitrogen (N) directly correlates to chlorophyll production, affecting crop growth and yield. Farmers use soil plant analysis development (SPAD) devices to calculate the amount of chlorophyll present in plants. However, monitoring large-scale crops using SPAD is prohibitively time-consuming and demanding. This paper presents an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) solution for estimating leaf N content in rice crops, from multispectral imagery. Our contribution is twofold: (i) a novel trajectory control strategy to reduce the angular wind-induced perturbations that affect image sampling accuracy during UAV flight, and (ii) machine learning models to estimate the canopy N via vegetation indices (VIs) obtained from the aerial imagery. This approach integrates an image processing algorithm using the GrabCut segmentation method with a guided filtering refinement process, to calculate the VIs according to the plots of interest. Three machine learning methods based on multivariable linear regressions (MLR), support vector machines (SVM), and neural networks (NN), were applied and compared through the entire phonological cycle of the crop: vegetative (V), reproductive (R), and ripening (Ri). Correlations were obtained by comparing our methods against an assembled ground-truth of SPAD measurements. The higher N correlations were achieved with NN: 0.98 (V), 0.94 (R), and 0.89 (Ri). We claim that the proposed UAV stabilization control algorithm significantly improves on the N-to-SPAD correlations by minimizing wind perturbations in real-time and reducing the need for offline image corrections.

Abstract: International audience; Production systems contain advanced automated processes, and humans are involved in activities, such as monitoring, managing and/or operating, to ensure the right functioning of these systems. The challenge for industries is to develop human-centred scheduling systems that orchestrate the interaction between human and machines devices considering both operations productivity and human well-being. In this paper, a cyber-physical production system integrating a smart station is proposed to dynamically change the schedule of tasks to human operators, regarding the cognitive fatigue level during execution. The smart station consists in a human operator connected to a galvanometer that tracks electric currents on his skin coupled to a virtual holon that seeks the human well-being minimising his cognitive fatigue estimated from the tracking of the current. This Holon is also in charge of the modification of the scheduling through the adaption of the workload. A real experiment has been conducted to validate the contribution of the proposed approach and the results demonstrate significant mitigation of human wellbeing degradation in term of cognitive fatigue.

Abstract: International audience; Floral mutants display various deviant phenotypes and, as such, they are appropriate material with which to addressthe origin and the building of morphological variation. To identify the pivotal developmental stages at which floralvariation may originate and to infer the putative associated genetic causes, we studied abnormal flowers in ninecultivars of Aquilegia and Delphinium of Ranunculaceae, a family displaying a high range of floral diversity. Wildtype flowers of the two genera are pentamerous and spurred, but they differ in their overall symmetry (actinomorphyvs. zygomorphy). Floral morphology of their cultivars at different developmental stages up to anthesis was observed,and the putative identity of the perianth organs and vascularization was inferred. Our results show that in thefloral mutants in both genera, phyllotaxis was generally conserved, whereas floral organization, vascularization andsymmetry were modified. Most of the morphological and anatomical deviations impacted the perianth, includingorgan number, identity and (spur) elaboration, and also led to the formation of mosaic organs. We hypothesized thatthe phenotypes of floral mutants in Aquilegia and Delphinium result from genetic alterations affecting frontiersbetween sets of organs of different identity, homeosis and length of floral meristem activity.

Abstract: The decentralised control of multicellular converters is an alternative to the usual control techniques. Multicellular converters use interleaved carriers to reduce filtering elements and potentially improve transient response. Decentralised interleaving techniques are scalable, avoid a complex interleaving controller for a high number of cells, and simplify reconfiguration cases like phase shading. Circular chain of communication (ring, or daisy chain) approaches have been proposed in the literature and implemented in concrete applications. However, the analytical study of the stability and dynamic response of this system involving several identical phase-delay local controllers connected in a dedicated communication chain with their close neighbours has not been conducted yet. This paper presents a behavioural discrete model for a digitally implemented decentralised interleaving device. The eigenvalue study gives the stability criterion and convergence speed to choose the appropriate parameters of the controllers. A modal decomposition technique dissociates the various types of differential interactions to observe their respective time response. Simulation results demonstrate that the system is unconditionally stable when all differential modes are properly damped. An analytical expression for the final disposition of the carriers in steady state depending on the start-up condition is established. Lastly, a more precise operator to overcome the singular discontinuity of the model is presented and discussed. Experimental validation by FPGA implementation have been done for reconfiguration and start-up cases.

Abstract: The Amazon Basin is an unquestionable biodiversity hotspot, containing the highest freshwater biodiversity on earth and facing off a recent increase in anthropogenic threats. The current knowledge on the spatial distribution of the freshwater fish species is greatly deficient in this basin, preventing a comprehensive understanding of this hyper-diverse ecosystem as a whole. Filling this gap was the priority of a transnational collaborative project, i.e. the AmazonFish project - https://www.amazon-fish.com/. Relying on the outputs of this project, we provide the most complete fish species distribution records covering the whole Amazon drainage. The database, including 2,406 validated freshwater native fish species, 232,936 georeferenced records, results from an extensive survey of species distribution including 590 different sources (e.g. published articles, grey literature, online biodiversity databases and scientific collections from museums and universities worldwide) and field expeditions conducted during the project. This database, delivered at both georeferenced localities (21,500 localities) and sub-drainages grains (144 units), represents a highly valuable source of information for further studies on freshwater fish biodiversity, biogeography and conservation., Measurement(s)Diversity • Fish • spatial patternTechnology Type(s)digital curationFactor Type(s)geographic locationSample Characteristic - OrganismfishSample Characteristic - Environmentdrainage basinSample Characteristic - LocationAmazon Basin Machine-accessible metadata file describing the reported data: 10.6084/m9.figshare.11920800

Abstract: International audience; Global climate and land use change are causing woody plant encroachment in arctic, alpine, and arid/semi-arid ecosystems around the world, yet our understanding of the belowground impacts of this phenomenon is limited. We conducted a globally distributed field study of 13 alpine sites across four continents undergoing woody plant encroachment and sampled soils from both woody encroached and nearby herbaceous plant community types. We found that woody plant encroachment influenced soil microbial richness and community composition across sites based on multiple factors including woody plant traits, site level climate, and abiotic soil conditions. In particular, root symbiont type was a key determinant of belowground effects, as Nitrogen-fixing woody plants had higher soil fungal richness, while Ecto/Ericoid mycorrhizal species had higher soil bacterial richness and symbiont types had distinct soil microbial community composition. Woody plant leaf traits indirectly influenced soil microbes through their impact on soil abiotic conditions, primarily soil pH and C:N ratios. Finally, site-level climate affected the overall magnitude and direction of woody plant influence, as soil fungal and bacterial richness were either higher or lower in woody encroached versus herbaceous soils depending on mean annual temperature and precipitation. All together, these results document global impacts of woody plant encroachment on soil microbial communities, but highlight that multiple biotic and abiotic pathways must be considered to scale up globally from site- and species-level patterns. Considering both the aboveground and belowground effects of woody encroachment will be critical to predict future changes in alpine ecosystem structure and function and subsequent feedbacks to the global climate system. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons Ltd

Abstract: Background Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a difficult to diagnose pathology of the brain that progressively impairs cognitive functions. Computer-assisted diagnosis of AD based on image analysis is an emerging tool to support AD diagnosis. In this article, we explore the application of Supervised Switching Autoencoders (SSAs) to perform AD classification using only one structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging (sMRI) slice. SSAs are revised supervised autoencoder architectures, combining unsupervised representation and supervised classification as one unified model. In this work, we study the capabilities of SSAs to capture complex visual neurodegeneration patterns, and fuse disease semantics simultaneously. We also examine how regions associated to disease state can be discovered by SSAs following a local patch-based approach. Methods Patch-based SSAs models are trained on individual patches extracted from a single 2D slice, independently for Axial, Coronal, and Sagittal anatomical planes of the brain at selected informative locations, exploring different patch sizes and network parameterizations. Then, models perform binary class prediction - healthy (CDR = 0) or AD-demented (CDR > 0) - on test data at patch level. The final subject classification is performed employing a majority rule from the ensemble of patch predictions. In addition, relevant regions are identified, by computing accuracy densities from patch-level predictions, and analyzed, supported by Atlas-based regional definitions. Results Our experiments employing a single 2D T1-w sMRI slice per subject show that SSAs perform similarly to previous proposals that rely on full volumetric information and feature-engineered representations. SSAs classification accuracy on slices extracted along the Axial, Coronal, and Sagittal anatomical planes from a balanced cohort of 40 independent test subjects was 87.5%, 90.0%, and 90.0%, respectively. A top sensitivity of 95.0% on both Coronal and Sagittal planes was also obtained. Conclusions SSAs provided well-ranked accuracy performance among previous classification proposals, including feature-engineered and feature learning based methods, using only one scan slice per subject, instead of the whole 3D volume, as it is conventionally done. In addition, regions identified as relevant by SSAs’ were, in most part, coherent or partially coherent in regard to relevant regions reported on previous works. These regions were also associated with findings from medical knowledge, which gives value to our methodology as a potential analytical aid for disease understanding.

Abstract: International audience; Excimer lamps take place among the numerous industrial applications which rely on cold plasmas generated by means of Dielectric Barrier Discharges. For the performance and reliability of these applications, the control of the electrical energy injected into the plasma is of prominent importance; it also contributes to the homogeneity of the electrical discharge and to the amount of created excited species, thus the UV emission. In this scope, we have developed generations of pulsed current power supplies aimed at controlling the energy of the injected pulses. For UV generation processes by means of excimer lamps, the design approach of two of the most performing topologies is presented. The performances are highlighted, as well as the pitfalls and solutions for their use. The critical impact of the high voltage transformer, through its parasitic parameters, is pointed out, as well as solutions trying to take advantage of them.

Abstract: International audience; The production of melanin is a complex process involving biochemical cascades, such as the pro-phenoloxidase (proPO) system, and enzymes, such as phenoloxidases (POs). Different studies have shown a strong correlation between the decrease in PO activities and the occurrence of diseases in bivalve invertebrates, leading to mor-talities in the host. Results of these studies suggest that POs could play a fundamental role in defense mechanisms in bivalves. This article reviews the fundamental knowledge on the proPO system in bivalves and the methods used to assess PO activities. Finally, this is the first report on the major findings of laboratory and field studies that indicate that a type of PO in bivalves, the laccase enzyme, is inducible and involved in the 1) immune 2) antioxidant and 3) detoxification roles in bivalves, and might be an ecological potential biomarker of environmental stress.

Abstract: International audience; We present original solutions to four challenging mathematical puzzles. The first two are concerned with random processes. The first, here called The President's Welfare Plan, can be reduced to computing, for arbitrary large values of n, the expected number of iterations of a program that increases a variable at random between 1 and n until exceeds n. The second one, called The Dining Researchers, can be reduced to determining the probability of reaching a given point after visiting all the others in a circular random walk. The other two problems, called Students vs Professor and Students vs Professor II, involve finding optimal winning group strategies in guessing games.

Abstract: International audience; Power estimation of a DBD device supplied by a current source converter is studied in this article, pointing out the prominent contribution of the transformer parasitic elements. The impact of the stray capacitance and magnetizing inductance is stated and an iterative method that estimates the electrical power and DBD waveforms is presented. Results show that the magnetizing inductance can enhance the electrical power without changing the current ratings of the converter and that the stray capacitance must be minimized. Moreover, the experimental results reveal the need for a better DBD model to properly estimate the power. In consequence, an improved model is proposed and validated using a DBD excimer lamp in a wide range of electrical operating conditions.

Abstract: This paper presents the design of a system aimed at characterizing a diverse set of dielectric barrier discharge UV lamps. This experimental bench allows the study of the lamps performances regarding UV emission maximization and energy conversion optimization. It includes a current-mode pulsed power supply for the lamps, the design of which is detailed. This converter presents 3 degrees of freedom (DOF) can control and adjust independently the frequency, amplitude and duration of the current pulses injected into the lamps. Theoretical modeling of the lamps, by means of equivalent electrical circuits, is used to define the most interesting operating points to be explored, as well as for the converter’s design; these models are afterwards validated by experimental tests on the entire set of lamps. The operation of the bench is controlled by a supervising program: the latter manages the data acquisition and performs sweeps of the DOFs of the pulsed current. Examples of analyzes, oriented toward optimization of electric to UV energy conversion, are shown.

Abstract: The article is about a decentralized controller for a Cascade Multilevel Inverter connected to the grid. The objective of this controller is to supply current to the grid and to balance the output voltage of each full bridge cell. The controller is composed of two stages, one to manage the output current and the other for balancing the output voltage of each Full Bridge cell. Besides, a bypass system is implemented in the controller in order to have the ability to insert or remove a full bridge during the operation. This control technique avoids that the disturbances in the current affect the voltage balancing of full bridges. The control technique is validated in three simulations, changing the output current reference, disturbing the input voltages and inserting/removing a Full Bridge cell. Finally, the article shows the comparison between theoretical part and the simulations.

Abstract: International audience; Spatial constraint systems (scs) are semantic structures for reasoning about spatial and epistemic information in concurrent systems. We develop the theory of scs to reason about the distributed information of potentially infinite groups. We characterize the notion of distributed information of a group of agents as the infimum of the set of join-preserving functions that represent the spaces of the agents in the group. We provide an alternative characterization of this notion as the greatest family of join-preserving functions that satisfy certain basic properties. We show compositionality results for these characterizations and conditions under which information that can be obtained by an infinite group can also also be obtained by a finite group. Finally, we provide algorithms that compute the distributive group information of finite groups.

Abstract: A small and genetically isolated bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) population resides year-round in the Bocas del Toro Archipelago-Panama (BDT). Photo-identification and genetic data showed that this dolphin population is highly phylopatric and is formed exclusively by individuals of the “inshore form”. This study aimed to investigate the trophic ecology and mercury concentrations of bottlenose dolphins in BDT to assess their coastal habits. We collected muscle samples (n = 175) of 11 potential fish prey species, and skin samples from free-ranging dolphins in BDT (n = 37) and La Guajira-Colombia (n = 7) to compare isotopic niche width. Results showed that BDT dolphins have a coastal feeding habit, belong to the “inshore form” (δ13C = −13.05 ± 1.89‰), and have low mercury concentrations (mean = 1637 ± 1387 ng g−1dw). However, this element is biomagnified in the BDT food chain, showing a marginal dolphins health risk (RQ = 1.00). We call for a monitoring pollutant program and conservation strategies aimed to protect the dolphin population at BDT.

First, the implementation of the converter is studied with two possible locations of the resonant inductance. The inductance location can be used to decrease the stress voltage of the switching components. Additionally, the effects of the parasitic elements are stated and the use of the Valley Switching technique to reduce the turn-on switching losses is proposed. Experimental results are included, showing the system improvements.

The power injected into the jet is in the 0,2 – 5 Watts range. From the obtained results the operating conditions allowing to obtain a homogeneous low temperature jet, required for biomedical applications, are found.

Abstract: Part 2: Digital Platforms for Development; International audience; Growth of digital platforms in developing countries has yet to see equivalent growth in research. This paper presents one of the first conceptualised analyses of platform implementation and impact. Using the “multi-level perspective”, it analyses a successful ride-hailing platform: EasyTaxi in Bogotá, Colombia. This was originally a niche innovation but has effected a socio-technical transition to a dominant position within Bogotá’s taxi regime. Speed of transition is explained in terms of tensions within that regime and from wider demographic change, combined with specific utility of the platform to drivers and passengers who faced a prior context of exploitation, mistrust and insecurity. Though the new regime is a hybrid of platform and non-platform features, its impacts can already be seen: datafication, formalisation, and shift in power away from old taxi operating companies and towards passengers and, in particular, towards the platform itself. Alongside case-specific insights, the paper demonstrates the utility of the multi-level perspective as a means to analyse the enactment of digital platforms.

Abstract: International audience; Numerous industrial applications rely on cold plasmas generated by means of Dielectric Barrier Discharge devices. For the performance and reliability of these applications, the control of the electrical energy injected into the plasma is of prominent importance; it also contributes to the homogeneity of the electrical discharge and to the amount of created excited species. In this scope, we have developed generations of pulsed current power supplies aimed at controlling the energy of the injected pulses. For selected processes (UV generation, by means of excimer lamps and gas treatment, in gas flow applications) the design approach of different topologies and the pitfalls and solutions for their use are presented. The critical impact of the high voltage transformer, through its parasitic parameters, is pointed out, as well as solutions trying to take advantage of them; investigated transformerless solutions are also presented.

Abstract: Atypical fish diversity gradients suggest a recent formation of the Amazon system such as we know it today., Using the most comprehensive fish occurrence database, we evaluated the importance of ecological and historical drivers in diversity patterns of subdrainage basins across the Amazon system. Linear models reveal the influence of climatic conditions, habitat size and sub-basin isolation on species diversity. Unexpectedly, the species richness model also highlighted a negative upriver-downriver gradient, contrary to predictions of increasing richness at more downriver locations along fluvial gradients. This reverse gradient may be linked to the history of the Amazon drainage network, which, after isolation as western and eastern basins throughout the Miocene, only began flowing eastward 1–9 million years (Ma) ago. Our results suggest that the main center of fish diversity was located westward, with fish dispersal progressing eastward after the basins were united and the Amazon River assumed its modern course toward the Atlantic. This dispersal process seems not yet achieved, suggesting a recent formation of the current Amazon system.

Abstract: Publisher's version (útgefin grein), Breast cancer is a common disease partially caused by genetic risk factors. Germline pathogenic variants in DNA repair genes BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, ATM, and CHEK2 are associated with breast cancer risk. FANCM, which encodes for a DNA translocase, has been proposed as a breast cancer predisposition gene, with greater effects for the ER-negative and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) subtypes. We tested the three recurrent protein-truncating variants FANCM:p.Arg658*, p.Gln1701*, and p.Arg1931* for association with breast cancer risk in 67,112 cases, 53,766 controls, and 26,662 carriers of pathogenic variants of BRCA1 or BRCA2. These three variants were also studied functionally by measuring survival and chromosome fragility in FANCM−/− patient-derived immortalized fibroblasts treated with diepoxybutane or olaparib. We observed that FANCM:p.Arg658* was associated with increased risk of ER-negative disease and TNBC (OR = 2.44, P = 0.034 and OR = 3.79; P = 0.009, respectively). In a country-restricted analysis, we confirmed the associations detected for FANCM:p.Arg658* and found that also FANCM:p.Arg1931* was associated with ER-negative breast cancer risk (OR = 1.96; P = 0.006). The functional results indicated that all three variants were deleterious affecting cell survival and chromosome stability with FANCM:p.Arg658* causing more severe phenotypes. In conclusion, we confirmed that the two rare FANCM deleterious variants p.Arg658* and p.Arg1931* are risk factors for ER-negative and TNBC subtypes. Overall our data suggest that the effect of truncating variants on breast cancer risk may depend on their position in the gene. Cell sensitivity to olaparib exposure, identifies a possible therapeutic option to treat FANCM-associated tumors., Peterlongo laboratory is supported by Associazione Italiana Ricerca sul Cancro (AIRC; IG2015 no.16732) to P.

49. Enhancement of the DBD power for current-mode converters using the step-up transformer elements

Abstract: This paper presents how the parasitic elements of the step-up transformer impact the DBD operation, while supplied with a current-mode converter. The initial analysis is performed with the state-plane technique and then the steady-state values are calculated with an iterative method. Results show that the increase of power in the DBD can be achieved by the reduction of the magnetizing inductance and the parasitic capacitance in the transformer, without changing the power converter ratings. This result offers the opportunity to achieve a revision of the transformer specifications; and it is advantageous in terms of dimensions and price of the latter. Experimental results are performed with UV excilamps verifying the analysis. The need of a more complex DBD model has been also pointed out, to extend the validity of the presented method in the case of short current pulses.

Abstract: Part 1: MAKE-Main Track; International audience; Food related consumer behavior is a topic of major interest to areas such as health and marketing. Social media offers a scenario in which people share information about preferences, interests and motivations about eating habits and food products that have not been exploded as appropriate. In this work we present an algorithm to exploit the potential of Twitter as a data gathering platform to provide insight about behavior of consumers, by linking the food-related content, including emoji’s expressed by Twitter users, to their demographic profile (age, gender, socioeconomic level). We further link this data to dietary choices expressed in different moments of their daily life. We found out that including Spanish Twitter data analysis, like the one presented in this work, into marketing researchers tools, could be very useful to advance in customer-centric strategies.
