Description:

Western corn rootworm is one of the most dangerous pests of maize, and both the larvae and the imagoes thereof may cause significant damage to the plants. The options of controlling these pests have recently become highly limited, thus creating a great demand for new control methods complying with sustainable plant protection. These requirements are met by the natural enemies of these pests, such as entomopathogenic nematodes (e.g. Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, Gerritsen, 1994). The objective of this study was to determine whether the viability and larvicide effect of a single injection into the soil of 2 billion nematodes using various amounts of water (50, 100 or 200 L/hectare) was maintained even with the lower quantities. Our studies proved that the entomopathogenic nematodes retain their viability and larvicide effect when applied using 50 L/ha of water. The efficacy of the biological agent did not differ from that of Force 1.5G, a product containing Tefluthrin as active ingredient, which was used as positive control.

Description:

In recent years, decentralized renewable energy production has gained increasing importance. Challenges of distributed energy production include fluctuations in weather-dependent energy generation, which may not always meet peak consumption periods and can result in significant overproduction during low-load periods. Managing production and consumption is a fundamental task for efficient renewable energy utilization. The application of lithium-ion or other advanced battery technologies as community energy storage provides a more reliable power supply when operated optimally with advanced energy management and control systems. Digital platforms form the basis of Energy Communities, supporting necessary processes and functionalities, and enabling the integration of smart grids that utilize data from IoT devices, meteorological sources, and energy markets. This paper presents a design of an Energy Community management platform and digital tools that provide a systematic framework for mapping energy consumption trend within energy communities. Adopting a digital platform for an energy community involves the integration of IoT devices, a centralized database, and a software platform equipped with AIbased forecasting tools. Additionally, investigations into various modeling approaches have highlighted the superior performance of hybrid deep learning models, specifically those combining GRU and LSTM architectures, in predicting energy consumption. These models excel in forecasting consumption peaks, which is crucial for optimizing energy distribution and storage within the community and are able to overcome the limitations of classical forecasting methods, which usually do not account for external variables like weather changes, consumer trends, and technological advancements that might affect energy use.

Description:

Objective: To validate the ISGPS definition and grading system of PPAP after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). Summary Background Data: In 2022, the International Study Group for Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) defined post-pancreatectomy acute pancreatitis (PPAP) and recommended a prospective validation of its diagnostic criteria and grading system. Methods: This was a prospective, international, multicenter study including patients undergoing PD at 17 referral pancreatic centers across Europe, Asia, Oceania, and the United States. PPAP diagnosis required the following three parameters: (1) postoperative serum hyperamylasemia /hyperlipasemia (POH) persisting on postoperative days 1 and 2, (2) radiologic alterations consistent with PPAP, and (3) a clinically relevant deterioration in the patient's condition. To validate the grading system, clinical and economic parameters were analyzed across all grades. Results: Among 2902 patients undergoing PD, 7.5% (n=218) developed PPAP (6.3% grade B and 1.2% grade C). POH occurred in 24.1% of patients. Hospital stay was associated with PPAP grades (No POH/PPAP 10 days (IQR 7-17) days, grade B 22 days (IQR 15-34) days, and grade C 43 days (IQR 27-54) days; P<0.001), as well as intensive care unit admission (No POH/PPAP 5.4%, grade B 12.6%, grade C 82.9%; P<0.010), and hospital readmission rates (No POH/PPAP 7.3%, grade B 16.1%, grade C 18.5%; P<0.05). Costs of grade B and C PPAP were 2 and 11 times greater than uncomplicated clinical course, resp. (P<0.001). Conclusions: This first prospective, international validation study of the ISGPS definition and grading system for PPAP highlighted the relevant clinical and financial implications of this condition. These results stress the importance of routine screening for PPAP in patients undergoing PD.

Description:

The significant geomorphological hazard of collapsed cavities (CC) causes notable environmental transformations. To address this issue, the pipe collapse pattern was examined using two statistical methods, the Density Correlation Function (DCF) and the Mark Coloration Function (MCF). Key predictor variables like organic carbon (OC), sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), and exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) were utilized to comprehend their impact on spatial distribution over time. The study was found that lower OC levels increase susceptibility to CC, while higher SAR and ESP amounts enhance the potential for collapsed cavities. The methodology and discoveries of this research can offer valuable insights for land managers, stakeholders, and researchers.

Experimental and numerical investigation of the single-point incremental forming of aluminium alloy foils

No authors available

Publication Name: Acta IMEKO

Publication Date: 2020-03-01

Volume: 9

Issue: 1

Page Range: 25-31

Description:

Single-Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) is a flexible process for manufacturing sheet metal parts that is well adapted and profitable for prototypes or small batch production. Compared to traditional sheet forming technologies, this relatively slow process can be used in different applications in the automotive and aircraft industries; architecture engineering; and medical aid manufacture. In this article, the indirectly obtained axial forming force on the SPIF of variable wall angle geometry is studied using different process parameters. The estimation of the forces on AlMn1Mg1 sheets with an initial thickness of 0.22 mm is performed by continuous monitoring of servomotor currents. The deformation states of the formed parts were analysed using the ARGUS optical strain measurement system of GOM, while the roughness measurements were carried out by a Mitutoyo system. Some initial finite element analysis simulations and a crack monitoring method together with an interaction plot of forming speed, incremental depth, tool diameter, and lubrication were also reported.

Description:

The European Capital of Culture (ECOC) programme series aims to present the diversity of European culture, focusing on the cultural values and dimensions of cities. In 2023, Debrecen, Győr and Veszprém, as Hungarian applicants, entered the second round of the selection procedure. Although most attention is focused on the cultural programs of the project year, the project application phase is also exciting, as applicant cities can present their plans, development ideas and potentials in the field of culture. The study compares the creative aspirations and cultural potential of these 3 cities, exploring the cultural visions, strengths and weaknesses of these culturally outstandingly ambitious cities, mainly using quantifiable indicators. The authors developed and applied a survey model having 14 indicators for a quantitative comparative analysis of the cultural, tourism and financial potential of the three cities. Comparing 2 large and 1 medium-sized cities in Hungary, the authors conclude that not only in Central and Eastern Europe, but also in Hungary, stronger efforts are made to have culturally rich and creative cities.

Description:

The complete mitochondrial genome of the invasive terrestrial nemertean Geonemertes pelaensis Semper, 1863 (Nemertea: Prosorhochmidae) was sequenced from two specimens collected in geographically distant French overseas territories—Martinique in the Caribbean and New Caledonia in the South-West Pacific. In both specimens, the mitogenome contained 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, and 21 tRNA genes, and was unusually large, approaching 32 kb. The two genomes differed by only four single nucleotide polymorphisms and one indel. A comparison with 22 cox1 sequences available in GenBank confirmed this high level of genetic conservation, suggesting a recent introduction from related source populations. The extraordinary length of the mitogenome was largely attributable to two extended regions comprising only tRNA genes and long intergenic sequences. These results were contrasted with data from an unpublished SRA sequencing project (SRS20559370) of an unlocalized specimen identified as G. pelaensis; its reconstructed mitogenome was only 18 kb in length (14 kb shorter) and showed extensive sequence divergence. Phylogenetic analyses placed this specimen as the sister lineage to G. pelaensis, highlighting the need for further investigation of this taxon. In the Martinique specimen, several NUMTs (nuclear mitochondrial pseudogenes) were also detected, which could complicate future studies relying solely on Sanger sequencing. Sequencing additionally revealed prey DNA from the gut contents of both worms: the New Caledonian specimen had consumed an unidentified noctuid moth, while the Martinique specimen had likely fed on the invasive cockroach Periplaneta australasiae (Fabricius, 1775), itself an introduced species.
