Noncovalent Bile Acid Oligomers as Facial Amphiphilic Antimicrobials

New antimicrobial agents are needed to address the ever-growing risk of bacterial resistance, particularly for methicillin- and vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Here, we report a class of bile acid oligomers as facial amphiphilic antimicrobials, which are noncovalently fabricated by cholic acid (CA) and deoxycholic acid (DCA) with polyamines (e.g., diamines, diethylenetriami

Legacies of loss : The health outcomes of slaveholder compensation in the British Cape Colony

Can wealth shocks have intergenerational health consequences? We use the partial compensation slaveholders received after the 1834 slave emancipation in the British Cape Colony to measure the intergenerational effects of a wealth loss on longevity. We find that a greater loss of slave wealth shortened the lifespans of the generation of slaveholders that experienced the shock albeit these effects are

Digital resource abundance : How social media shapes success and failure of online mobilisation

This article explores how and why some online protests manage to gain digital resource abundance, that is, mobilising large numbers of people and attracting wide interest and support in a short space of time. The study focuses on the case of the Swedish Petrol Uprising 2.0 which after a few months managed to mobilise 630,000 members on Facebook. The article expands established theories on online m

Compulsive Sexual Behavior Online and Non-online in Adult Male Patients and Healthy Controls : Comparison in Sociodemographic, Clinical, and Personality Variables

Background and Aims: Compulsive sexual behavior (CSB) is characterized by a persistent pattern of failure to control sexual impulses, resulting in repetitive sexual behavior over a prolonged period that causes marked discomfort in personal, family, social, school, work or in other functional areas. The evolution of the worldwide incidence of this disorder warrants further studies focused on examin

ASSIMILATION OF SMAP BASED DISAGGREGATED SOIL MOISTURE FOR IMPROVING SOIL EVAPORATION ESTIMATES BY FAO-2Kc MODEL

Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) dual crop coefficient (FAO-2Kc) is one of the widely used formulation to estimate soil evaporation (E) due to its operationality and simplicity. The FAO-2Kc method could explicitly distinguish the contribution of E and plant transpiration, separately. However, systematic and random uncertainty in E observations still exist. In this vein, this paper attempts

Assimilation of SMAP disaggregated soil moisture and Landsat land surface temperature to improve FAO-56 estimates of ET in semi-arid regions

Accurate estimation of evapotranspiration (ET) is of crucial importance in water science and hydrological process understanding especially in semi-arid/arid areas since ET represents more than 85% of the total water budget. FAO-56 is one of the widely used formulations to estimate the actual crop evapotranspiration (ETc act) due to its operational nature and since it represents a reasonable compro

Optimizing the sowing date to improve water management and wheat yield in a large irrigation scheme, through a remote sensing and an evolution strategy-based approach

This study aims to investigate the effects of an optimized sowing calendar for wheat over a surface irrigation scheme in the semi-arid region of Haouz (Morocco) on irrigation water requirements, crop growth and development and on yield. For that, a scenario-based simulation approach based on the covariance matrix adaptation–evolution strategy (CMA-ES) was proposed to optimize both the spatiotempor

Retrieving crop albedo based on radar sentinel-1 and random forest approach

Monitoring agricultural crops is of paramount importance for preserving water resources and increasing water efficiency over semi-arid areas. This can be achieved by modelling the water resources all along the growing season through the coupled water–surface energy balance. Surface albedo is a key land surface variable to constrain the surface radiation budget and hence the coupled water–surface e

Cereal yield forecasting with satellite drought-based indices, weather data and regional climate indices using machine learning in morocco

Accurate seasonal forecasting of cereal yields is an important decision support tool for countries, such as Morocco, that are not self-sufficient in order to predict, as early as possible, importation needs. This study aims to develop an early forecasting model of cereal yields (soft wheat, barley and durum wheat) at the scale of the agricultural province considering the 15 most productive over 20

Present and future high-resolution climate forcings over semiarid catchments : Case of the tensift (Morocco)

In semiarid areas, the climate is characterized by strong spatiotemporal variability while the meteorological ground network is often very sparse. In this context, the spatial distribution of meteorological variables is thus a real issue for watershed hydrology, agronomy and the study of surface–atmosphere retroaction in these regions. The aim of this study is twofold: (1) to evaluate and to adapt

Implementing a new texture-based soil evaporation reduction coefficient in the FAO dual crop coefficient method

Crop evapotranspiration (ET) is a fundamental component of the hydrological cycle, especially in arid/semi-arid regions. The FAO-56 offers an operational method for deriving ET from the reduction (dual crop coefficient Kc) of the atmospheric evaporative demand (ET0). The dual coefficient approach (FAO-2Kc) is intended to improve the daily estimation of ET by separating the contribution of bare soi

Remission of Persistent Negative Symptoms and Psychosocial Consequences by Combined Clozapine and Cariprazine Treatment in a Patient With Long-Standing Treatment-Resistant Schizoaffective Disorder

This patient case report describes a 45-year old white unmarried man with disability pension due to schizoaffective disorder, diagnosed at the age of 24. He lives in an apartment and has housing support. Retrospectively, the patient displayed prodromal markers of a disorder within the schizophrenia spectrum many years before the onset of frank psychosis, indeed since childhood. Over the years seve

Parameterization of the AquaCrop model for simulating table grapes growth and water productivity in an arid region of Mexico

Currently, the AquaCrop model has been widely tested for many fruit/grain crops; root and tuber crops; leafy vegetables, or forage crops, but is restricted to annual herbaceous species, while deciduous crops have received less if no attention. In this context, this study aims to test for the first time the ability of the AquaCrop model to simulate canopy cover (CC), actual evapotranspiration (ETa)

Linkages between rainfed cereal production and agricultural drought through remote sensing indices and a land data assimilation system : A case study in Morocco

In Morocco, cereal production shows high interannual variability due to uncertain rainfall and recurrent drought periods. Considering the socioeconomic importance of cereal for the country, there is a serious need to characterize the impact of drought on cereal yields. In this study, drought is assessed through (1) indices derived from remote sensing data (the vegetation condition index (VCI), tem
