Influence of Regulated Deficit Irrigation on Arbequina’s Crop Yield and EVOOs Quality and Sensory Profile

Regulated deficit irrigation in super-high-density (SHD) olive orchards is a well-known strategy to save water and control plant vigor, without decreasing fruit or oil yield. As there is controversial information about its influence on virgin olive oil quality, a trial was conducted in five SHD olive orchards of Arbequina cultivar in different locations of central, east, north and northeast Spain under full irrigation (FI) and regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) treatments. RDI applied during phase II of fruit growing (40% of total needs) saves more than 20% of water on average, without reductions in olive fruit or extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) yield. No threshold of 3.5 MPa of stem water potential was crossed in any case. RDI modified sterols and the fatty acid profile of EVOOs but not phenols, quality parameters, or the sensory profile. Latitude, altitude, and yearly rainfall have a big impact on some compounds such as campesterol, oleuropein, or margaroleic or linolenic acids

Identification of genetic variants associated with Huntington's disease progression: a genome-wide association study

Background Huntington's disease is caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the huntingtin gene, HTT. Age at onset has been used as a quantitative phenotype in genetic analysis looking for Huntington's disease modifiers, but is hard to define and not always available. Therefore, we aimed to generate a novel measure of disease progression and to identify genetic markers associated with this progression measure. Methods We generated a progression score on the basis of principal component analysis of prospectively acquired longitudinal changes in motor, cognitive, and imaging measures in the 218 indivduals in the TRACK-HD cohort of Huntington's disease gene mutation carriers (data collected 2008–11). We generated a parallel progression score using data from 1773 previously genotyped participants from the European Huntington's Disease Network REGISTRY study of Huntington's disease mutation carriers (data collected 2003–13). We did a genome-wide association analyses in terms of progression for 216 TRACK-HD participants and 1773 REGISTRY participants, then a meta-analysis of these results was undertaken. Findings Longitudinal motor, cognitive, and imaging scores were correlated with each other in TRACK-HD participants, justifying use of a single, cross-domain measure of disease progression in both studies. The TRACK-HD and REGISTRY progression measures were correlated with each other (r=0·674), and with age at onset (TRACK-HD, r=0·315; REGISTRY, r=0·234). The meta-analysis of progression in TRACK-HD and REGISTRY gave a genome-wide significant signal (p=1·12 × 10−10) on chromosome 5 spanning three genes: MSH3, DHFR, and MTRNR2L2. The genes in this locus were associated with progression in TRACK-HD (MSH3 p=2·94 × 10−8 DHFR p=8·37 × 10−7 MTRNR2L2 p=2·15 × 10−9) and to a lesser extent in REGISTRY (MSH3 p=9·36 × 10−4 DHFR p=8·45 × 10−4 MTRNR2L2 p=1·20 × 10−3). The lead single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in TRACK-HD (rs557874766) was genome-wide significant in the meta-analysis (p=1·58 × 10−8), and encodes an aminoacid change (Pro67Ala) in MSH3. In TRACK-HD, each copy of the minor allele at this SNP was associated with a 0·4 units per year (95% CI 0·16–0·66) reduction in the rate of change of the Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale (UHDRS) Total Motor Score, and a reduction of 0·12 units per year (95% CI 0·06–0·18) in the rate of change of UHDRS Total Functional Capacity score. These associations remained significant after adjusting for age of onset. Interpretation The multidomain progression measure in TRACK-HD was associated with a functional variant that was genome-wide significant in our meta-analysis. The association in only 216 participants implies that the progression measure is a sensitive reflection of disease burden, that the effect size at this locus is large, or both. Knockout of Msh3 reduces somatic expansion in Huntington's disease mouse models, suggesting this mechanism as an area for future therapeutic investigation

Effects of Pyrolysis Conditions on Physicochemical Properties of Oat Hull Derived Biochar

The effects of the pyrolysis conditions in terms of temperature (400 to 600 °C), residence time (0.5 to 3.5 h), nitrogen flux (0 to 1 L/min), and temperature increase rate (1.5 to 3 °C/min) on the physicochemical properties of biochar were studied. The physicochemical properties evaluated in the biochar were specific surface area, pore volume, average pore size, total carbon content, pH, total acidity, elemental composition, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) content. A higher specific surface area of 108.28 m2/g and a mean pore size diameter of about 2.24 nm were found when the pyrolysis was conducted at 600 °C. In general, the pH and total acidity increased with the increased pyrolysis temperature. The total PAH concentration in all of the combinations studied varied from 0.16 to 8.73 μg/kg, and only phenanthrene, pyrene, and chrysene were detected. The increased temperature seemed to decrease the PAH concentration in the biochar. Nevertheless, there was no correlation found between the PAH content and the combined evaluated parameters

TASEC-Lab: A COTS-based CubeSat-like university experiment for characterizing the convective heat transfer in stratospheric balloon missions

The Thermal Analysis Support and Environment Characterization Laboratory (TASEC-Lab) is an experiment designed, integrated, and tested in the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid by bachelor's, master's and doctoral students. The aim of this project is to study the convection heat transfer, the thermal environment and the balloon dynamics during the ascent and float phases of a stratospheric balloon launched from the León (Spain) airfield on 16th, July 2021. TASEC-Lab has been designed following the CubeSat philosophy using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components. It consists of an aluminium structure of 130 × 130 × 330 mm3 with three compartments where the Electrical Power Subsystem, the Electronics, and the Heat Transfer Laboratory, are located. In addition, it carries a cup anemometer to be tested at the low-pressure conditions at high altitude to provide the relative speed of the balloon-gondola system in order to characterize the dynamics and the forced convection heat transfer. In this paper, the TASEC-Lab design is detailed as well as the different development phases considered in a university environment where all tasks were carried out by students, with the technical support of the research staff of the Instituto Universitario de Microgravedad “Ignacio da Riva” (IDR) and the group of Sistemas de Tiempo Real y Arquitectura de Servicios Telemáticos (STRAST)

Procesamiento de imágenes

El semillero tiene como uno de sus objetivos, la enseñanza y la aplicación de técnicas y herramientas de inteligencia artificial en áreas de la ingeniería electromecánica y afines. Para ello se seguirá un proceso que requerirá en sus primeras etapas la recopilación de la información, su limpieza, transformación y análisis, persiguiendo mediante el aprendizaje continuo de los estudiantes y su desarrollo en posteriores etapas, la implementación de modelos y/o arquitecturas que permitan desarrollar un modelo de IA basado en técnicas de visión por computadora y aprendizaje automático para reconocer las placas de los vehículos que ingresan a la ETITC en tiempo real y/o aplicaciones en general, como procesos de regresión, clasificación, segmentación, etc. Considerando que a futuro se planteará el trabajar con imágenes, se sabe que este campo presenta gran auge en distintos campos, pues como lo menciona LeCun et al. 2015, el uso de redes convolucionales ha ampliado la capacidad para extraer características relevantes de las imágenes, lo que es fundamental para el reconocimiento de placas de vehículos. Adicionalmente, se han desarrollado métodos como el introducido por Redmon J et al. (2016), el cual es conocido actualmente como YOLO "You Only Look Once" que mediante redes convolucionales facilita el reconocimiento de objetos. Adicionalmente se tiene el ejemplo de Krizhevsky, A (2012), quien mediante el modelo AlexNet, presentó gran eficacia en tareas de reconocimiento de imágenes
