Bakteriofagi: nova paradigma ta perevagi pered antibiotikami u likuval'no-profilakticnih ŝljah
2017
Comparative analysis of antibiotics and bacteriophages preparations properties. Substantiation of prospects of using bacteriophages in medical purposes. Methods: systematic analysis, analytical, monographic, synthesis, formalization, abstract and logical. Many years of antibiotics use for the treatment of various diseases has led to the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacterial strains. According to WHO, more than 60% of pathogens are resistant to major antibiotics, and in 10-20 years almost all will acquire antimicrobial resistance. The reasons for the rapid adaptation of microorganisms to antibiotics may include continual, unreasonable using of antibiotics for self-medication, and when t…
A Dataset of Annotated Omnidirectional Videos for Distancing Applications
2021
Omnidirectional (or 360°) cameras are acquisition devices that, in the next few years, could have a big impact on video surveillance applications, research, and industry, as they can record a spherical view of a whole environment from every perspective. This paper presents two new contributions to the research community: the CVIP360 dataset, an annotated dataset of 360° videos for distancing applications, and a new method to estimate the distances of objects in a scene from a single 360° image. The CVIP360 dataset includes 16 videos acquired outdoors and indoors, annotated by adding information about the pedestrians in the scene (bounding boxes) and the distances to the camera of some point…
Recovery of aliphatic low-molecular-mass carboxylic acids from hardwood kraft black liquor
2015
Abstract During alkaline pulping of wood, substantial amounts of carbohydrates-derived aliphatic carboxylic acids (formic and acetic acids together with various hydroxy acids) are formed and dissolved into the cooking liquor (“black liquor”). These acids with low heating values are considered to be potential feedstocks for the chemical industry but, due to many factors, their straightforward recovery as free acids from black liquor (pH 13–14) is difficult. In this paper, we outlined the partial recovery of volatile formic and acetic acids from the acidified birch ( Betula pendula ) kraft black liquor (pH approximately 2.5) by distillation, and the partial recovery of significant low-molecul…
Evolution of dry season low cloud cover over the Atlantic coast of Central Africa from diurnal to interannual scale
2022
Despite its bioclimatic importance, few studies have focused on the stratiform low-level cloud cover ofthe dry season (June-September) of the Atlantic coast of Central Africa. Using in-situ data documenting theperiod 1971-2019, we show that this cloud cover is underestimated by SAFNWC satellite observations andCMIP6 models. We identify three types of days: clear, cloudy at night and totally cloudy, the latterbeing more frequent on the coast and inland, to the windward of the Cristal and Chaillu Mountains. Onan interannual scale, temperature anomalies in the South Tropical Atlantic, the equatorial Pacific and theCongo Basin, by modulating the meridional and zonal circulation cells, influence…
Diversification is in the Detail: Accounting for Crop System Heterogeneity to Inform Diversification Policies in Malawi and Zambia
2020
Crop diversification is a common agricultural policy objective. However, the determinants and impacts of crop diversification are heterogeneous and depend on a range of crop-specific characteristics. Index-based measurements of crop diversification, common in the agriculture economics literature, are unable to account for this heterogeneity. Using two national panel surveys from Malawi and Zambia, we develop a multinomial treatment effects model to examine the determinants of adopting seven discreet cropping systems and their impacts on maize productivity and crop income stability. The results of this approach are compared to those obtained when using a Gini–Simpsons index. Differences betw…

Dimensions cognitives et multiscalaires des conflits environnementaux
2011
Résumé disponible en ligne sur le site de l'UMR SAD-APT (INRA AgroParisTech) : http://www6.versailles-grignon.inra.fr/sadapt/Equipe-Proximites/Seminaire-Conflits-et-territoires/dernieres-interventions/a_larceneux; National audience; La dynamique conflictuelle s'exprime particulièrement sur le terrain de l'aménagement et de l'environnement. Mais pour qu'il y ait conflit ou opposition entre des individus ou des groupes, il faut que des " opinions " soient constituées : or celles-ci se forment de manière complexe, dans des processus dont les explications théoriques sont multiples et opposent nettement les lectures économiste, monétarisant les dommages, et écologique, qui raisonne en termes de …
The dynamics of aroma release during consumption of candies of different structures, and relationship with temporal perception
2011
; We investigated the role of both candy texture and eating technique (melting or chewing) on the dynamics of aroma release. One novelty of this type of analysis was the simultaneous application of instrumental and sensory analysis. Four candy textures were established based on their storage modulus at 1 Hz by varying the gelatine content between 0 and 15% w/w. The in vivo release of three aroma compounds was monitored using Proton Transfer Reaction Mass Spectrometry and with a trained panel of testers. The gelatine content had no significant effect on the headspace/product partition and diffusion properties of the aroma compounds. The highest in vivo release for all aroma compounds was ob…
Learning Slovak in an E-Learning Environment: A case study
2014
Providing a motivating learning environment for learning a less commonly taught language is a challenge. Developing technology, societal changes, virtual mobility and networking create new demands for teachers and students of these languages. Growing needs for international mobility call for the adoption of new pedagogical approaches. It is the urgency of using more up-to-date, pedagogically acceptable computer-assisted teaching programs that led to the development of the e-learning course of Slovak reported upon in this article. The course is based on a socio-constructivist approach and its main aim is to promote the development of learners’ communicative and cultural competence. This empi…
Online Mathematics With Interactive Concept Maps
2008
There has not been a free and easy-to-use utility to handle both authoring and presentation of large graphs online, especially with mathematical content. On one hand, concept map editors are ideal for authoring graphs, but publishing capabilities may be limited. On the other hand, numerous browsing and layout tools exist for publishing content generated elsewhere. We present a transformation tool Xcm2kg that tries to solve the problem by integrating authoring with IHMC CmapTools to publishing based on TouchGraph. GXL is used as an intermediate format to facilitate interoperability with other graph-based applications. The tool is demonstrated with concept maps drawn on an undergraduate mathe…
