The climactic conditions limit fruit production and quality in gulupa (Passiflora edulis Sims f. edulis) under integrated fertilization
The gulupa (Passiflora edulis Sims f. edulis) is one of the main fruit trees that are part of Colombia's export supply. The objective of this research was to determine the effect of chemical fertilizers alone (control) or together with integrated fertilization (humic acids or vermicompost; two separate treatments), on the yield and quality of gulupa fruit during two consecutive production cycles in the Colombian Amazon foothills. The climatic conditions were monitored and the phenological state of the plant was related to the average temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, solar radiation, and vapor pressure deficit. The integrated fertilization with vermicompost offered better values in productive parameters (fresh weight, number of fruits and equatorial diameter) irrespective of the cycle considered, but the fruit quality attributes were similar irrespective of the fertilization treatment tested. The fluctuations of the climatic variables of precipitation, relative humidity and solar radiation in both cycles (the second rainiest and affected by the ENSO phenomenon) reduced the quality of the fruit (whole fruit firmness by 19%, dry matter and pulp total titratable acidity by 24%, total soluble solids by 8%, individual sugars by 49%, organic acids by 63% and antioxidant capacity by 67%) as well as the productive parameters during the second cycle. These results demonstrate the high degree of influence exerted by the climate on productive and fruit quality attributes that are decisive in the production and marketing of the fruit.This research was supported by the Colombian Ministry of Science through the Bicentennial Doctoral Excellence Scholarship Program to F.M.

Predictive models based on RSM and ANN for roughness and wettability achieved by laser texturing of S275 carbon steel alloy
Laser texturing is increasingly gaining attention in the field of metal alloys due to its ability to improve surface properties, particularly in steel alloys. However, the input parameters of the technology must be carefully controlled to achieve the desired surface roughness. Roughness is critical to the activation of the surface before further bonding operations, and it is often assessed using several parameters such as Ra, Rt, Rz, and Rv. This surface activation affects the properties of the metal alloy in terms of wettability, which has been evaluated by the deposition of ethylene glycol droplets through a contact angle. This allowed a direct relationship to be established between the final roughness, the wettability of the surface and the texturing parameters of the alloy. This raises the interest of being able to predict the behaviour in terms of roughness and wettability for future applications in improving the behaviour of metallic alloys. In this research, a comparative analysis between Response Surface Models (RSM) and predictive models based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) has been conducted. The model based on neural networks was able to predict all the output variables with a fit greater than 90%., improving that obtained by RSM. The model obtained by ANN allows a greater adaptability to the variation of results obtained, reaching deviations close to 0.2 µm. The influence of input parameters, in particular power and scanning speed, on the achieved roughness and surface wettability has been figured out by contact angle measurements. This increases its surface activation in terms of wettability. Superhydrophilic surfaces were achieved by setting the power to 20 W and scanning speed to ten mm/s. In contrast, a power of 5 W and a scanning speed of 100 mm/s reduced the roughness values
On the Laplacian spectra of token graphs
We study the Laplacian spectrum of token graphs, also called
symmetric powers of graphs. The k-token graph Fk(G) of
a graph G is the graph whose vertices are the k-subsets of
vertices from G, two of which being adjacent whenever their
symmetric difference is a pair of adjacent vertices in G. In this
paper, we give a relationship between the Laplacian spectra of any two token graphs of a given graph. In particular, we show
that, for any integers h and k such that 1 ≤ h ≤ k ≤ n
2 , the
Laplacian spectrum of Fh(G) is contained in the Laplacian
spectrum of Fk(G). We also show that the doubled odd
graphs and doubled Johnson graphs can be obtained as token
graphs of the complete graph Kn and the star Sn = K1,n−1,
respectively. Besides, we obtain a relationship between the
spectra of the k-token graph of G and the k-token graph of
its complement G. This generalizes to tokens graphs a wellknown property stating that the Laplacian eigenvalues of G
are closely related to the Laplacian eigenvalues of G. Finally,
the doubled odd graphs and doubled Johnson graphs provide
two infinite families, together with some others, in which the
algebraic connectivities of the original graph and its token
graph coincide. Moreover, we conjecture that this is the case
for any graph G and its token graph.This research of C.

CMAG: a mission to study and monitor the inner corona magnetic field
Measuring magnetic fields in the inner corona, the interface between the solar chromosphere and outer corona, is of paramount importance if we aim to understand the energetic transformations taking place there, and because it is at the origin of processes that lead to coronal heating, solar wind acceleration, and of most of the phenomena relevant to space weather. However, these measurements are more difficult than mere imaging because polarimetry requires differential photometry. The coronal magnetograph mission (CMAG) has been designed to map the vector magnetic field, line-of-sight velocities, and plane-of-the-sky velocities of the inner corona with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolutions from space. This will be achieved through full vector spectropolarimetric observations using a coronal magnetograph as the sole instrument on board a spacecraft, combined with an external occulter installed on another spacecraft. The two spacecraft will maintain a formation flight distance of 430 m for coronagraphic observations, which requires a 2.5 m occulter disk radius. The mission will be preferentially located at the Lagrangian L5 point, offering a significant advantage for solar physics and space weather research. Existing ground-based instruments face limitations such as atmospheric turbulence, solar scattered light, and long integration times when performing coronal magnetic field measurements. CMAG overcomes these limitations by performing spectropolarimetric measurements from space with an external occulter and high-image stability maintained over time. It achieves the necessary sensitivity and offers a spatial resolution of 2.5″ and a temporal resolution of approximately one minute, in its nominal mode, covering the range from 1.02 solar radii to 2.5 radii. CMAG relies on proven European technologies and can be adapted to enhance any other solar mission, offering potential significant advancements in coronal physics and space weather modeling and monitoring

The European Solar Telescope
The European Solar Telescope (EST) is a project aimed at studying the magnetic connectivity of the solar atmosphere, from the deep photosphere to the upper chromosphere. Its design combines the knowledge and expertise gathered by the European solar physics community during the construction and operation of state-of-the-art solar telescopes operating in visible and near-infrared wavelengths: the Swedish 1m Solar Telescope, the German Vacuum Tower Telescope and GREGOR, the French Télescope Héliographique pour l'Étude du Magnétisme et des Instabilités Solaires, and the Dutch Open Telescope. With its 4.2 m primary mirror and an open configuration, EST will become the most powerful European ground-based facility to study the Sun in the coming decades in the visible and near-infrared bands. EST uses the most innovative technological advances: the first adaptive secondary mirror ever used in a solar telescope, a complex multi-conjugate adaptive optics with deformable mirrors that form part of the optical design in a natural way, a polarimetrically compensated telescope design that eliminates the complex temporal variation and wavelength dependence of the telescope Mueller matrix, and an instrument suite containing several (etalon-based) tunable imaging spectropolarimeters and several integral field unit spectropolarimeters. This publication summarises some fundamental science questions that can be addressed with the telescope, together with a complete description of its major subsystems
