An instant preparation method for nucleic acids of filamentous fungi
Preparation methods for both DNA and RNA of filamentous fungi often are labour intensive and unreliable. The rapid preparation protocol presented here has been found to work for Schizophyllum commune and other filamentous fungi
Application of two phosphorus models with different complexities in a mesoscale river catchment
The water balance and phosphorus inputs of surface waters of the Weiße Elster catchment, Germany, have been quantified using the models GROWA/MEPhos and SWAT. A comparison of the model results shows small differences in the mean long-term total runoff for the entire study area. All relevant pathways of phosphorus transport were considered in MEPhos with phosphorus inputs resulting to about 65% from point sources. SWAT focuses on agricultural areas and estimates a phosphorus input of about 60% through erosion. The mean annual phosphorus input from erosion calculated with SWAT is six times higher than the estimation with MEPhos due to the differing model concepts. This shows the uncertainty contributed by the modelling description of phosphorus pathways
Determination and ranking of target areas in catchments for the implementation of nitrogen reduction measures
International audienceThe implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive (EU-WFD) forms the background of the WAgriCo-project (Water Resources Management in Cooperation with Agriculture). WagriCo concentrates on the development of nitrogen management options adapted to hydrological and agro-economic site conditions and at demonstrating new participation approaches and technologies suitable for setting-up programmes of measures. The article outlines the conceptual model approach and its application in the pilot region "Große Aue" (Northern Germany). Furthermore the process of delineating priority areas is described, which act as spatial targets for the adaptation of regionally differentiated nutrient reduction measures

On kernel engineering via Paley–Wiener
A radial basis function approximation takes the form
where the coefficients a 1,…,a n are real numbers, the centres b 1,…,b n are distinct points in ℝ d , and the function φ:ℝ d →ℝ is radially symmetric. Such functions are highly useful in practice and enjoy many beautiful theoretical properties. In particular, much work has been devoted to the polyharmonic radial basis functions, for which φ is the fundamental solution of some iterate of the Laplacian. In this note, we consider the construction of a rotation-invariant signed (Borel) measure μ for which the convolution ψ=μ φ is a function of compact support, and when φ is polyharmonic. The novelty of this construction is its use of the Paley–Wiener theorem to identify compact support via analysis of the Fourier transform of the new kernel ψ, so providing a new form of kernel engineering
TVL<sub>1</sub> Planarity Regularization for 3D Shape Approximation
The modern emergence of automation in many industries has given impetus to extensive research into mobile robotics. Novel perception technologies now enable cars to drive autonomously, tractors to till a field automatically and underwater robots to construct pipelines. An essential requirement to facilitate both perception and autonomous navigation is the analysis of the 3D environment using sensors like laser scanners or stereo cameras. 3D sensors generate a very large number of 3D data points when sampling object shapes within an environment, but crucially do not provide any intrinsic information about the environment which the robots operate within.
This work focuses on the fundamental task of 3D shape reconstruction and modelling from 3D point clouds. The novelty lies in the representation of surfaces by algebraic functions having limited support, which enables the extraction of smooth consistent implicit shapes from noisy samples with a heterogeneous density. The minimization of total variation of second differential degree makes it possible to enforce planar surfaces which often occur in man-made environments. Applying the new technique means that less accurate, low-cost 3D sensors can be employed without sacrificing the 3D shape reconstruction accuracy
