Synchronistic historical background for Jung-Pauli's modelling of psyche and nature concerning the aquarius myth part II: The aquarius mythologem and representations of St. Andrew in the Hortus Deliciarum

Peter Varlaki Péter Baranyi

Publication Name: 7th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications Coginfocom 2016 Proceedings

Publication Date: 2017-01-03

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 455-468

Description:

In the paper we attempt to present the same in a very beautiful and uniquely interesting picture of the Hortus Deliciarum, with St. Andrew in the leading role, representing St. John the Baptist. We compare the meaning system and the numerical structure of this the Hortus Deliciarum image to the Pala d'Oro's beautiful and unique enamel of hidden meaning, depicting the presentation of the child Christ in the 'Temple.'. On tha basis of this interpretation and comparison it can be considered as a historical background of the Aquarius mythologem and its Jung-Pauli kinds of imagination and interpretation.

A regularized method of fundamental solutions for 3D and axisymmetric potential problems

Csaba Gáspár

Publication Name: CMES Computer Modeling in Engineering and Sciences

Publication Date: 2014-01-01

Volume: 101

Issue: 6

Page Range: 365-386

Description:

The Method of Fundamental Solutions (MFS) is investigated for 3D potential problem in the case when the source points are located along the boundary of the domain of the original problem and coincide with the collocation points. This generates singularities at the boundary collocation points, which are eliminated in different ways. The (weak) singularities due to the singularity of the fundamental solution at the origin are eliminated by using approximate but continuous fundamental solution instead of the original one (regularization). The (stronger) singularities due to the singularity of the normal derivatives of the fundamental solution are eliminated by solving special auxiliary subproblems (desingularization). The desingularization idea is similar to a previously published technique and is completely independent of the applied regularization technique. The presented method produces well-conditioned or moderately ill-conditioned matrices in the resulting linear system of algebraic equations, while the accuracy remains acceptable. No boundary mesh structure is needed. The method is generalized to 3D axisymmetric potential problems in a natural way, despite in this case the fundamental solution does not remain a radial function. The use of extremely ill-conditioned matrices is still avoided.

Effect of some myostatin (MSTN) variants on live weight and beef traits measured by ultrasound in Charolais candidate breeding bulls

Márton Török Szabolcs Bene Gabriella Holló Károly Tempfli Edit Mikó Tamás Csürhés Ferenc Szabó

Publication Name: Journal of Applied Animal Research

Publication Date: 2025-01-01

Volume: 53

Issue: 1

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

This study investigated the relationship between some ultrasound measurements, live weight data, and five (F94L, nt267, nt324, nt414 and Q204X) myostatin (MSTN) variants associated with beef production in Charolais cattle. A total of 390 Charolais candidate breeding bulls were weighed at birth (BIW) as well as 205 (CWW) and 400 days (FDW) of age, and ultrasonically measured for ribeye area (REA), fat thickness at rump (FRU), fat thickness at ribeye (FRI) and marbling of the ribeye (MAR) at 400 days of age. The frequency of allele C and A were high in the studied population. The F94L had a significant effect on the FRU and FRI, whereas REA significant differed between homozygous and heterozygous animals on SNP at nt267. MAR of non-mutant animals were significantly (by 04.−05 points) lower than those heterozygous for the F94L. FRI tended to be higher (0.51–0.57 cm) for mutations together nt267 and nt414, or for F94L, nt414 and nt324, but lower (0.47–0.49 cm) for nt267 and nt414 mutations. The results indicating F94L could be use in QTL selection for improving beef quality. The polygenetic effect of different MSTN mutations, as well as the effect of MSTN deficiency, would be worth investigating in the future.

Motor vehicle speeds: Recommendations for urban sustainability

A. Borsos Thomas Jonsson John N. Ivan

Publication Name: Transportation Research Record

Publication Date: 2012-12-01

Volume: Unknown

Issue: 2301

Page Range: 1-8

Description:

This paper explores how vehicle speeds are related to equitable, environmental, and economic sustainability of urban areas. This relationship is manifested primarily through associations between vehicle speeds and road crash casualties, severity of pedestrian crashes, generation of harmful emissions, and relative desirability of neighboring land. Reported research findings describing these associations are presented and discussed. Reported experiences with implementing various methods of influencing vehicle speeds, including automated enforcement, self-explaining roads, and in-vehicle systems, are presented and discussed. To support increased sustainability of urban areas, the following steps are recommended: (a) speed limits should be set to limit casualty risk and not to accommodate driver choices, (b) roadways in developed areas should be designed with 10-ft lanes and on-street parking and sidewalks, and (c) vehicle speeds in downtown and residential areas should be kept below 25 mph (preferably 20 mph). The paper also identifies gaps in knowledge about speed and sustainability.

Searching possible accident black spot locations with accident analysis and gis software based on GPS coordinates

Csaba Koren A. Borsos Pál Hegyi

Publication Name: Pollack Periodica

Publication Date: 2017-12-01

Volume: 12

Issue: 3

Page Range: 129-140

Description:

There are several methods for the analysis of road accidents in a road network. In Hungary from 2011 GPS coordinates are used to identify the location of personal injury accidents. This method significantly improves the display of locations of accidents on the map, which can be then analyzed using GIS tools. Accident black spots are the most dangerous places in road networks identified by the density of the accidents in the network. One of the analysis methods is the accident density searching. The methods and algorithms used in some software may show differences in relation to one another. The aim of this research is comparing two applications by investigating the local road network in Györ. The analysis was made using the WEB-BAL accident analysis software using the density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise procedure and the QGIS software using the kernel density estimation method. The former is the official accident database and online software used for accident investigations and the latter is an open source geographic information system. The results are visualized in accident density plots and black spot maps.

Complex oncologic therapy for loco-regionally advanced breast cancer associated with long-lasting SARS-CoV-2 PCR-positivity

István Sipőcz Tamás Kullmann Márta Knausz Dániel Kollár András Drozgyik F. Tamás Molnár

Publication Name: Orvosi Hetilap

Publication Date: 2021-04-01

Volume: 162

Issue: 16

Page Range: 611-614

Description:

Mortality of COVID-19 is increased when certain co-morbidities, among others advanced malignancies are present. Deleterious effect of cytotoxic therapy, related to its immunosuppressive effect, may also be hypothesised. However, postponing or cancelling oncologic treatment, especially in younger patients with advanced and more aggressive tumors may worsen the prognosis. The case of a 39-year-old female patient is presented, who was diagnosed with loco-regionally advanced breast cancer during the pandemic. Primary systemic chemotherapy was started. The patient presented with acute respiratory tract symptoms during the fifth cycle and subsequently SARS-CoV-2 infection was diagnosed. Chemotherapy was cancelled. Symptoms resolved in three days after diagnosis. SARS-CoV-2 PCR remained positive up to day 43. Antihormonal therapy was introduced on day 19 and she underwent mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection on day 51. Chemotherapy was reset postoperatively on day 82 with prophylactic G-CSF protection. No adverse event was observed throughout the treatment. Cytotoxic chemotherapy and surgery can be successfully delivered in breast cancer patients with prolonged asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 PCR positivity, even without negative swab result. Individual optimisation of the therapy may require deviations from standard protocols. Closer multidisciplinary cooperation may contribute to the minimisation of both oncologic and infectious risks.

Biomolecule composition and draft genome of a novel, high-lipid producing Scenedesmaceae microalga

Péter Bálint Gergely Maróti Prateek Shetty Eszter Badics Norbert Incze V. Soós Vince Ördög E. Balázs

Publication Name: Algal Research

Publication Date: 2021-04-01

Volume: 54

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

Lipid biosynthesis in microalgae can be stimulated by cultivation in low nitrogen medium. MACC-401 was isolated from the soil surface in Tres Marias (MG-Brazil). The strain shows the morphological characteristics of the Scenedesmaceae green algae. The daily biomass and lipid production of MACC-401 is remarkable, 0.36 g L−1 and 110 mg L−1, respectively. Exploration of the genetic background of this promising strain not only allows the utilization of this species for industrial-scale lipid production, but also provides genetic targets to select lipid-producing strains from microalgae collections. We conducted physiological experiments by cultivating MACC-401 in complete and N-limited media and performed genome sequencing as well as transcriptome analysis. The estimated nuclear genome size of MACC-401 is 99.503 Mbp and the chloroplast genome is 0.15 Mbp. The phylogenetic analysis confirmed that the MACC-401 belongs to the Scenedesmaceae family, and represents a genetically distinct accession in this family. A basic comparative transcriptome analysis resulted in the identification of N-starvation responsive genes, which could serve as markers to monitor the onset of lipid accumulation in algal cultures.

Green and Renewable Energy-Related Financial Literacy as the Driver of Sustainable Food Security and Sovereignty in México

Csongor Czipf Absalón J. Salmerón- Zapata José G. Vargas- Hernandez

Publication Name: Climate Resistant Smart Agriculture for Healthy Food Production

Publication Date: 2025-10-09

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 161-192

Description:

This research investigates the crucial link between green and renewable energy-based financial literacy and its effects on promoting sustainable food sovereignty and security in México. The principal findings indicate that farmers who possess higher renewable energy financial literacy are more likely to adopt solar-powered irrigation systems, biomass energy services, and energy-efficient agricultural practices. This adoption not only reduces the cost of operations but also enhances climate change resilience and food production sustainability. The paper concludes that investments in targeted green energy financial literacy programs, coupled with revved-up financing mechanisms for renewable energy technologies in agriculture, can significantly advance México towards its goals of sustainable food security with environmental stewardship. These findings have important policy implications for the development of policy, educational curricula, and financial institution strategy that aim to facilitate México's agricultural transition.

Fuzzy signature structure-based finite-state machines in a residential building renovation procedure

Gergely Molnarka László T. Kóczy

Publication Name: Civil Comp Proceedings

Volume: 105

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

Twenty years after the transition to the market-based housing sector the overall physical condition of pre-war urban-type residential houses remained below standard in Hungary. Among other factors, the fragmented ownership structure (at present, the capital-scarce former tenants constitute the stakeholders' community), and the given physical condition of the residential houses has resulted in difficulties in maintenance and repair. The options in the renovation process are limited by financial capabilities, however, the essential problem with maintenance originates from the unprofessional approach in decision-making. Although several decision-support tools exist that may help the stakeholders' communities, some properties of these tools make them unsuitable, or, as in the case of the facility management systems, their application may result in oversized expenses with needless functions. As a combination of the fuzzy signature structure and the principles of finite-state machines a new formal method is proposed for generate a tool for the supporting stakeholders' decisions in the building rehabilitation process, concerning necessity, cost efficiency and quality. With the support of information obtained from building diagnostic surveys, technical guides and contractors' billing databases an optimized renovation protocol is proposed.
