Resource Efficiency in Practice – Closing Mineral Cycles : Final report

Nutrients such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) are essential elements for living organisms, including plants, animals and bacteria. They are used as fertilisers in agriculture to guarantee high yields and quality products. However, the increasing demand not only in food production, but also in feed, fibre and fuel, has resulted in an increasing use of N, P and K. The depletion of non-renewable resources (such as mined phosphates rock) jeopardises the viability of the current agricultural production systems in the long term. In addition, while progress has been made towards sustainable agricultural practices, a number of inefficiencies are observed in nutrient use which can lead to the degradation of land, soil and water resources. Ultimately, this can impede well-being and economic growth from farm level to EU level. In this context, the first objective of the project \u201cResource efficiency in practice \u2013 Closing mineral cycles\u201d was to identify the most promising measures at regional and farm levels, in particular in nutrient saturated areas, to improve the use of nutrients and to reduce their negative impacts. The second objective was to communicate the information gathered to farmers, farmers\u2019 associations, and regional decision-makers in an educational style to empower them to take action at their level. Communication channels included leaflets, a dedicated website (http://mineral-cycles.eu) and four regional conferences, as well as a final conference in Brussels

Vrcholovo tranzitivní Haarovi grafy kterí nejsou Cayleyho

V nedávním článku Electron. J. Combin. 23 (2016) Estélyi a Pisanski se ptali, jestli existují vrcholovo tranzitivní Haarovi grafy kterí nejsou Cayleyho. V tomhle článku se konštruuje nekoneční třída kubických Haarových grafů, které jsou vrcholovo tranzitivní, avšak nejsou Cayleyho. Nejmenší takový graf má 40 vrcholů a je známy jako Kroneckerove nakrytí dodekaedra G(10,2), a ve Fosterověm cenzusu je uveden jako graf "40".The function of enzymatic proteins is given by their ability to bind specific small molecules into their active sites. These sites can often be found in pockets on a hypothetical boundary between the protein and its environment. Detection, analysis, and visualization of pockets find its use in protein engineering and drug discovery. Many definitions of pockets and algorithms for their computation have been proposed. Kawabata and Go defined them as the regions of empty space into which a small spherical probe can enter but a large probe cannot and developed programs that can compute their approximate shape. In this article, this definition was slightly modified in order to capture the existence of large internal holes, and a Voronoi‐based method for the computation of the exact shape of these modified regions is introduced. The method first puts a finite number of large probes on the protein exterior surface and then, considering both large probes and atomic balls as obstacles for the small probe, the method computes the exact shape of the regions for the small probe. This is all achieved with Voronoi diagrams, which help with the safe navigation of spherical probes among spherical obstacles. Detected regions are internally represented as graphs of vertices and edges describing possible movements of the center of the small probe on Voronoi edges. The surface bounding each region is obtained from this representation and used for visualization, volume estimation, and comparison with other approaches
