Diversidad genética y contenido de carotenos totales en accesiones de yuca (Manihot esculenta Crantz) Genetic diversity and total carotene content in accessions of the cassava (Man... by Ana Cruz Morillo C., Yacenia Morillo C., Martín Fregene, Hernando Ramírez, Alba Lucía Chávez, Teresa Sánchez, Nelson Morante, Hernán Ceballos L

“…Carotenoids are natural pigments that are widely distributed in the nature, where about 50 of them have provitamin A activity, b-carotene has been the most efficient. Among the procedures to fortify (enrich or increase the nutritional content of foods or crops) cassava varieties, the study of genetic variability of the content of carotenoids in the root is one of the most common to carried out processes of selection and recombination in the breeding program which will allow the identification of superior genotypes. …”

Dynamic-budget superpixel active learning for semantic segmentation by Yuemin Wang, Ian Stavness

“…A static budget could result in over- or under-labeling images as the number of high-impact regions in each image can vary.MethodsIn this paper, we present a novel dynamic-budget superpixel querying strategy that can query the optimal numbers of high-uncertainty superpixels in an image to improve the querying efficiency of regional active learning algorithms designed for semantic segmentation.ResultsFor two distinct datasets, we show that by allowing a dynamic budget for each image, the active learning algorithm is more effective compared to static-budget querying at the same low total labeling budget. …”

CO2 methanation over low-loaded Ni-M, Ru-M (M = Co, Mn) catalysts supported on CeO2 and SiC by Chopendra G. Wasnik, Maki Nakamura, Taiki Shimada, Hiroshi Machida, Koyo Norinaga

“…We incorporated Ni-M and Ru-M (M = Co and Mn) as the active metals, each loaded at 2 %. Impressively, with merely 20 mg, the Ni-Co/SiC catalyst achieved a CO2 conversion rate of 77 % and CH₄ selectivity of 88 % at 500 °C, in a fixed-bed tubular reactor system with conditions of H2/CO2 = 4, a total flow rate of 70 ml min−1, and a steady GHSV of 12,000 h−1. …”

Short light/dark cycles favour photosynthetic efficiency and growth in grapevines by Mariana Gómez Tournier, Laurent Torregrosa, Jana Kändler, Angélique Christophe, Romain Boulord, Anna Medici, Anne Pellegrino

“…This study aimed to describe the effects of accelerating the light/dark cycle to a repeated short pattern (3 h light/3 h dark, ‘T3/3’), in contrast to the circadian-aligned regime (12 h light/12 h dark, ‘T12/12’) while keeping the same temperature and photosynthetic active radiation amounts per day. We evaluated photosynthetic efficiency, leaf growth, biomass production and partitioning, and resource use efficiency (water and light). …”
