Assessment of genetically modified maize 1507 × 59122 × MON810 × NK603 and subcombinations, for food and feed uses, under Regulation (EC) No 1829/200…
2017
In this opinion, the GMO Panelassessed the four-event stack maize 1507 x 59122 x MON810 x NK603 and its ten subcombinations, independently of their origin. The GMO Panelpreviously assessed the four single events combined in this four-event stack maize and five of their combinations and did not identify safety concerns. No new data on the single events or their previously assessed combinations leading to modification of the original conclusions were identified. Based on the molecular, agronomic, phenotypic and compositional characteristics, the combination of the single maize events and of the newly expressed proteins in the four-event stack maize did not give rise to food and feed safety or…
Nitric oxide and glutathione impact the expression of iron uptake- and iron transport-related genes as well as the content of metals in A. thaliana p…
2012
International audience; Mounting evidence indicate that nitric oxide (NO) acts as a signaling molecule mediating iron deficiency responses through the upregulation of the expression of iron uptake-related genes. Accordingly, NO donors such as nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) were reported to improve the fitness of plants grown under iron deficiency. Here, we showed that glutathione, a by-product of GSNO, triggered the upregulation of the expression of iron uptake- and transport-related gene and an increase of iron concentration in Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings facing iron deficiency. Furthermore, we provided evidence that under iron deficiency, NO released by GSNO did not improve the root iron co…
Press and bullfighting. The strength of the emotions
2018
Las corridas de toros fueron, tanto por el número asistentes como por la cantidad de festejos que se llevaron a cabo, el primer gran espectáculo de masas que se conoció en España. Enraizado en la fiesta popular, el espectáculo taurino será reconvertido en fiesta nacional a fines del siglo XIX, con el concurso de una prensa que crece en la misma medida que lo hace el sensacionalismo, y el interés de un Estado que utilizará las emociones de los toros para fomentar el amor a la patria. En este trabajo se aborda la dimensión cultural del festejo, su utilización política y el papel fundamental que juega la prensa. The bullfights were the first big spectacle of masses that was known in Spain, so …
Risk of Invasive Lupinus polyphyllus Seed Survival in Biomass Treatment Processes
2021
Invasive plant species threaten native species and habitats causing ecologic, economic and social burden. When creating climate friendly solutions by utilizing plant biomasses in biogas and fertilizer production, safety should be ensured concerning the use of residues. This study concentrates on the treatment of biomasses containing invasive plant material by tunnel and windrow composting, and by farm-scale and laboratory-scale anaerobic digestion (AD) in mesophilic conditions. Germination of the nationally settled and harmful invasive species Lupinus polyphyllus Lindl. was investigated after these processes. In addition, the role of the conditions found in the processes that destroyed seed…

The anomalous Hall effect soars when Dirac quasiparticles meet frustrated magnetism.
Massively Parallel ANS Decoding on GPUs
2019
In recent years, graphics processors have enabled significant advances in the fields of big data and streamed deep learning. In order to keep control of rapidly growing amounts of data and to achieve sufficient throughput rates, compression features are a key part of many applications including popular deep learning pipelines. However, as most of the respective APIs rely on CPU-based preprocessing for decoding, data decompression frequently becomes a bottleneck in accelerated compute systems. This establishes the need for efficient GPU-based solutions for decompression. Asymmetric numeral systems (ANS) represent a modern approach to entropy coding, combining superior compression results wit…
Massively Parallel Huffman Decoding on GPUs
2018
Data compression is a fundamental building block in a wide range of applications. Besides its intended purpose to save valuable storage on hard disks, compression can be utilized to increase the effective bandwidth to attached storage as realized by state-of-the-art file systems. In the foreseeing future, on-the-fly compression and decompression will gain utmost importance for the processing of data-intensive applications such as streamed Deep Learning tasks or Next Generation Sequencing pipelines, which establishes the need for fast parallel implementations. Huffman coding is an integral part of a number of compression methods. However, efficient parallel implementation of Huffman decompre…
User experiences of a mobile mental well-being intervention among pregnant women
2016
Postnatal depression affects 10 to 15 percent of women after childbirth. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is associated with better mental well-being and lower levels of depression. Digital ACT solutions enable providing potentially cost-effective access to interventions. This paper reports the user experiences of an ACT-based mobile mental well-being intervention among pregnant women. Twenty-nine mothers were recruited to a 6-month study. Usage rates were collected via usage logs and user experiences via questionnaires and interviews. The total usage time of the application was about 53 min per user. The application was perceived easy to use. The most common barriers of use were: co…
Hybrid Deep Shallow Network for Assessment of Depression Using Electroencephalogram Signals
2020
Depression is a mental health disorder characterised by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities resulting impairment in daily life significantly. Electroencephalography (EEG) can assist with the accurate diagnosis of depression. In this paper, we present two different hybrid deep learning models for classification and assessment of patient suffering with depression. We have combined convolutional neural network with Gated recurrent units (RGUs), thus the proposed network is shallow and much smaller in size in comparison to its counter LSTM network. In addition to this, proposed approach is less sensitive to parameter settings. Extensive experiments on EEG dataset shows…
Analysis of optimal temperature, pressure and binder quantity for the production of biocarbon pellet to be used as a substitute for coke
2019
In order to contribute to the decarbonization of the economy, efficient alternatives to coal and coke should be found not only in the power sector but also in the industrial sectors (like steel, silicon and manganese production) in which coal and coke are used as a reductant and for steel production also as a fuel. To this aim many research works have been focused on the development of a coke substitute based on woody biomass and known as “biocarbon”. There are still barriers to overcome, among them: the biocarbon low density, poor mechanical strength and high reactivity. In this paper a new biocarbon production methodology is proposed, based on: pyrolysis at 600 °C, densification (using py…
