    Description: Above-ground biomass (AGB) is considered an essential climate variable that underpins our knowledge and information about the role of forests in mitigating climate change. The availability of satellite-based AGB and AGB change ( AGB) products has increased in recent years. Here we assessed the past decade net AGB derived from four recent global multi-date AGB maps: ESA-CCI maps, WRI-Flux model, JPL time series, and SMOS-LVOD time series. Our assessments explore and use different reference data sources with biomass re-measurements within the past decade. The reference data comprise National Forest Inventory (NFI) plot data, local AGB maps from airborne LiDAR, and selected Forest Resource Assessment country data from countries with well-developed monitoring capacities. Map to reference data comparisons were performed at levels ranging from 100 m to 25 km spatial scale. The comparisons revealed that LiDAR data compared most reasonably with the maps, while the comparisons using NFI only showed some agreements at aggregation levels 10 km. Regardless of the aggregation level, AGB losses and gains according to the map comparisons were consistently smaller than the reference data. Map-map comparisons at 25 km highlighted that the maps consistently captured AGB losses in known deforestation hotspots. The comparisons also identified several carbon sink regions consistently detected by all maps. However, disagreement between maps is still large in key forest regions such as the Amazon basin. The overall AGB map cross-correlation between maps varied in the range 0.11–0.29 (r). Reported AGB magnitudes were largest in the high-resolution datasets including the CCI map differencing (stock change) and Flux model (gain-loss) methods, while they were smallest according to the coarser-resolution LVOD and JPL time series products, especially for AGB gains. Our results suggest that AGB assessed from current maps can be biased and any use of the estimates should take that into account. Currently, AGB reference data are sparse especially in the tropics but that deficit can be alleviated by upcoming LiDAR data networks in the context of Supersites and GEO-Trees.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract The present study characterized liquid-phase oxidation of mesitylene in the presence of boric additives. It is shown that mesitylene under these conditions is characterized by slow speed and small final depth of oxidation. Indications of almost full inhibition are observed in the presence of boric acid especially. For the first time in such cases no carbonyl compounds are observed in the oxidation products. The studied boric additives are characterized as moderate retardants of the total oxidizing process. Considerations are made in regard of how far the boric additives can be considered as catalysts of hydrocarbon liquid-phase oxidation. This information can be used in determing the most favourable conditions of oxidation from the practical point of view.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die oxydation von Mesitylen in flüssiger Phase in Anwesenheit borhaltiger Zusätze wurde untersucht. Es wurde nachgewiesen, daß unter diesen Bedingungen die Oxydation des Mesitylens mit einer geringen Reaktions-geschwindigkeit vor sich geht und nicht vollständig abläuft. Die geprüften borhaltigen Zusätze besitzen einen Inhibierungseffekt, der bei Borsäure am stärksten ausgeprägt ist. Die Abwesenheit von Carbonylverbindungen in den Oxydations-produkten von alkylaromatischen Kohlenwasserstoffen wurde zum ersten Mal beobachtet. Die untersuchten Borsäureester sind als mäßige Hemmer des gesamten Oxydationsprozesses charakterisiert.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die vorliegende Untersuchung ist das Ergebnis einer vergleichenden Bearbeitung von Inzuchtlinien und heterotischen Maishybriden; bei einigen von ihnen wurde ein Unterschied in ihrer Antigen-Struktur festgestellt (Dimitrov et al. 1972). Verglichen wurden miteinander: Inzuchtlinien, die nach reziproken Kreuzungen und Rückkreuzungen heterotische Hybriden ergeben ; Inzuchtlinien, die nur in einer Kreuzungsrichtung Heterosis ergeben ; Inzuchtlinien, die Heterosis ergeben, wenn sie als männlicher Kreuzungspartner in Kreuzungen mit verschiedenen anderen Linien (als ♂) verwendet werden; Inzuchtlinien, die als weiblicher Elter nach Kreuzung mit einigen Inzuchtlinien Heterosis ergeben, mit anderen aber nicht ; einfache heterotische sowie nichtheterotische Hybriden mit Rückkreuzungen, bei denen die F1-Hybriden (als Mutter) in einigen Fällen mit der mütterlichen, in anderen Fällen mit der väterlichen Linie rückgekreuzt wurden. Benutzt wurden die Inzuchtlinien N-6, C-103, WIR-44 und WIR-38. Die Untersuchungen wurden in der Weise durchgeführt, daß jeder Extrakt geprüft wurde gegenüber nicht-absorbierten und absorbierten homologen und heterologen Seren. Das Auftreten von Heterosis wurde unter Feldbedingungen geprüft. Als heterotisch wurden nur diejenigen Kreuzungen bezeichnet, die im Kornertrag den Ertrag jeder einzelnen zur Kreuzung verwendeten Inzuchtlinie übertrafen. Unsere Untersuchungen bestätigen die bereits früher von uns mitgeteilten Daten über das Vorhandensein von 4 spezifischen Eiweißfraktionen in den Inzuchtlinien und von einer 5. Eiweißfraktion in den heterotischen Hybriden. In den Inzuchtlinien wurde das Vorhandensein von je 3 diesen Linien gemeinsamen Eiweißfraktionen und einer 4. festgestellt, die für diejenigen Inzuchtlinien spezifisch ist, welche Heterosis ergeben. Die Inzuchtlinien N-6, C-103 und WIR-44 enthalten eine spezifische Eiweißfraktion, die Inzuchtlinie WIR-38 hingegen nicht. Es wurde festgestellt, daß ein Heterosiseffekt in beiden Kreuzungsrichtungen nur dann beobachtet wird, wenn Inzuchtlinien gekreuzt werden, von denen jede Träger einer spezifischen Eiweißfraktion ist. Wenn nur eine der verwendeten Inzuchtlinien eine spezifische Eiweißfraktion enthält, so wird nach unseren Ergebnissen nur dann ein Heterosiseffekt beobachtet, wenn die Vaterlinie der Träger des individuellen Antigens ist. Dies spricht dafür, daß die verantwortlichen Erbanlagen im Zellkern liegen. Wir führten einen Vergleich durch zwischen einfach heterotischen sowie nicht-heterotischen Hybriden und Rückkreuzungs-Generationen, für die als Vater in einigen Fällen eine Inzuchtlinie verwendet wurde, welche eine spezifische Eiweißfraktion enthält, im anderen Falle eine Linie, die keine spezifische Fraktion enthält. Dieser Vergleich zeigt, daß die Verdoppelung des individuellen Faktors in der Zygote — dem Ausgangspunkt der Rückkreuzung — zu einem gesteigerten Heterosiseffekt führt, der mit der Erhöhung der Subfraktionszahl der im Extrakt der Rückkreuzungspflanzen enthaltenen Eiweißfraktion verbunden ist. Die von uns ermittelten Daten und Gesetzmäßigkeiten eröffnen Möglichkeiten zur Vorhersage von Heterosiseffekten bei Zea mays und zugleich zur Schaffung von komplexen heterotischen Hybriden auf wissenschaftlicher Grundlage.
    Notes: Summary Heterosis is a complex biological phenomenon. Because of the complex interaction and interrelation between “genes — metabolism — environment”, it is hardly possible to expect a clarification of the heterosis phenomenon through simple genetic explanations only (Hagemann et al. 1967). We have followed an immunochemical aspect and method of research. The antigenic analysis of inbred lines and their hybrids was used for studying heterosis and for investigating the possibilities for its prognosis. The heterosis effect was proved under field conditions. Our investigations (Dimitrov et al. 1972) show the presence of four protein fractions in the seed extracts of inbred maize lines, while the heterotic hybrids contain a fifth protein fraction. Antigenie analysis by the method of Grabar and Williams was carried out for a more complete characterization and determination of the specificity of the fractions obtained (Grabar and Williams 1955). The present publication is a result of our research upon maize inbred lines, simple heterotic and nonheterotic hybrids and their backcrosses. A double diffusion in agar gel, according to the Ouchterlony method (Ouchterlony 1958), confirmed the presence of a fifth protein fraction in the heterotic hybrids, which can not be found in the inbred lines or in the nonheterotic hybrids. In the inbred lines we found 3 protein fractions common to all of them, and also a fourth (individual antigen), contained only in the inbred lines that produce a heterosis effect when crossed. It was determined that the carrier of the information for the synthesis of the individual antigen is a nuclear factor. We also determined the conditions under which (after direct and inverse crosses and after crosses in one direction only) heterotic hybrids are obtained. Some backcrosses show a marked heterosis effect connected with the doubling of the factor, carrier of the information for the individual antigen. This fact is important for the scientific verification of the methods for obtaining complex heterotic hybrids. Our results throw some light upon the genetic nature of the heterosis phenomenon. The heterosis effect was determined only for inbred lines whose seed extracts have a precipitation arc against their homologous serum, absorbed with the extract of its partner. This allows for the prognosis of heterosis in maize, i.e. for the determination in advance (through the double immunodiffusion) of the inbred lines and also of the direction of crosses that produce the heterosis effect. The present publication is a continuation of our report (Dimitrov et al. 1972) concerning the research on the nature of heterosis in connection with its prognosis. In our investigation we have accepted as heterotic only hybrids whose seed yield exceeds the seed yields of each of the separate inbred lines being crossed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die vorliegende Mitteilung basiert auf Versuchen, die Antigenanalyse von Inzuchtlinien und ihren Hybriden für eine Vorhersage des Auftretens von Heterosis bei Zea mays zu verwenden. Inzuchtlinien und ihre Hybriden, deren Heterosis unter Feldbedingungen erwiesen ist, wurden nach der Methode von Grabar und Williams geprüft. Die elektrophoretischen und immunelektrophoretischen Untersuchungen ergaben, daß die Extrakte von Maiskörnern der Inzuchtlinien C-103, N-6 und WF-9 vier Proteinfraktionen enthalten, während die Extrakte der Hybriden N-6 x C-103 und WF-9 x x N-6 noch eine fünfte Fraktion aufweisen. Das immunelektrophoretische Muster der Extrakte aus den Hybridkörnern von N-6 x C-103 zeigt, daß mit dem homologen Serum eine Präzipitationslinie, arc X, gebildet wird, die bei Reaktion der Extrakte aus den Elternlinien mit homologen und heterologen Seren nicht auftritt. Wahrscheinlich handelt es sich um eine zusätzliche Synthese von Protein, die auftritt, nachdem die Blockierung einiger Glieder im biosynthetischen Apparat der Inzuchtlinien aufgehoben worden ist. Es wurde festgestellt, daß die Extrakte der Hybride N-6 x C-103 mit heterologem Serum anti C-103 eine größere Anzahl Präzipitationslinien ergeben. Die Charakterisierung der Antigenstruktur der Inzuchtlinien ermöglicht nicht nur die Ermittlung von gemeinsamen, sondern auch von unterschiedlichen Fraktionen. Auf diese Weise könnten eine immunelektrophoretische Diagnose hinsichtlich Heterosis erreicht und Möglichkeiten zur eingehenderen Erforschung des Heterosisphänomens erschlossen werden.
    Notes: Summary The present report is based on tests using antigenic analysis of inbred lines and their hybrids for the prognosis of heterosis (hybrid vigour) in Zea mays. Inbred lines, whose hybrid vigour has been proved under field conditions, and their hybrids were characterized by the method of Grabar and Williams. The results of the electrophoretic and immunoelectrophoretic investigations show that the extracts from maize seeds of the inbred lines C-103, N-6 and WF-9 contain four protein fractions, while those of the hybrids N-6 x C-103 and WF-9 x N-6 also contain a fifth fraction. The immunoelectrophoretic pattern of the extracts from the hybrid seeds N-6 x C-103 shows that, with their homologous serum, they give a precipitation line (arc X) which is not obtained by the interaction of the parent line extracts with homologous and heterologous serums. In this case we probably have a protein synthesis in the hybrid which is caused by the deblocking of some links in the biosynthetic apparatus of the inbred lines. It was established that the extracts from the hybrid N-6 x C-103 gave a larger number of precipitation arcs with the heterologous serum anti C-103. The characterization of the antigenic structure of the inbred lines enables one to determine not only the fractions common to them but also the number of those fractions by which they differ from one another. Proceeding in this manner, one could accomplish an immunoelectrophoretic prognosis of heterosis and penetrate deeper into its essence.

    Description: ABSTRACT Although fragmentation of DNA has been observed in cells undergoing freezing procedures, a mutagenic effect of subzero temperature treatment has not been proved by induction and isolation of mutants in nuclear DNA (nDNA). We supply in this communication evidence for mutagenicity of freezing on nDNA of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells. In absence of cryoprotectors, cooling for 2 h at +4 °C and freezing for 1 h at −10 °C and 16 h at −20 °C with a cooling rate of 3 °C/min resulted in induction of frame-shift and reverse mutations in microsatellite and coding regions of nDNA. The subzero temperature exposure has also a strong recombinogenic effect evidenced by induction of gene–conversion and crossingover events. Freezing induces mutations and enhances recombination with a frequency equal or higher than that of methylmethanesulfonate at comparable survival rates. The signals for the appearance of nDNA lesions induced by freezing are detected and transduced by the DNA damage pathway. Extracellular cryoprotectors did not prevent the mutagenic effect of freezing while accumulation of trehalose inside cells reduced nDNA cryodamages. Freezing of cells is accompanied with generation of high ROS levels and the oxidative stress raised during the freeze/thaw process is the most likely reason for the DNA damaging effect. Experiments with mitochondrial rho - mutants or scavengers of ROS indicated that mutagenic and recombinogenic effects of subzero temperatures can be decreased but not eliminated by reduction of ROS level. The complete protection against cryodamages in nDNA required simultaneous usage of intracellular cryoprotector and ROS scavenger during the freeze/thaw process.

    Description: The impact of natural disasters and other adverse events on road infrastructure leads to a partial reduction or complete renunciation of its working capacity. Currently, there is no online-based information system to disclose and manage traffic in the event of a problem or disruption of a transport segment from the road infrastructure. The main purpose of the paper is to present a common methodology for designing a cloud-based online information system for road infrastructure monitoring and traffic management in disasters. The methodology of the information system is based on traditional geographic information system (GIS) solutions, Web-based technologies and GPS navigation systems.
