    Abstract The emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria has driven the need for novel antibiotics. Our investigations have focussed on lichens as they naturally produce a wide range of unique and very effective defence chemicals. The aim of this study was to evaluate some of the antimicrobial properties of ten common British churchyard lichens. The lichen material was sampled from ten species, namely

    Abstract Canopy sensing in viticulture is widely associated with the term NDVI (normalized difference vegetation index). However, there are many other vegetative indices (VIs) that can be calculated from information captured with visible/near-infrared (NIR) sensors. A proximal canopy sensor was used to survey 27 vineyards in the Lake Erie Concord belt and stratified to collect pruning weights (PW) at a density of ~25 samples per vineyard. Seven VIs were derived from the sensor data and the first principal component (PC1) extracted from a principal components analysis of the seven VIs. The VIs and PC1 were regressed against the local PW measurements and ranked in terms of their goodness-of-fit. Over the 27 vineyards, there was no single VI that outperformed the others, although VIs that used the red-edge band had a slight advantage over VIs using the red band. It is therefore recommended to use the normalized difference red edge index (NDRE) in place of the NDVI when predicting PW from terrestrial-based proximal canopy surveys. The PC1 derived from the decomposition of all seven VIs did appear to convey some benefit to PW prediction compared with a single VI approach, particularly with just NDVI. More research into the potential for multivariate approaches is recommended. [Z 215]

    Abstract Economic pressures in the New York Concord grape industry over the past 30 years have driven crop management practices toward less severe pruning to achieve larger crops. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of crop load on juice soluble solids and the seasonal change in vine pruning weight in New York Concord grapevines. Over a four-year period, vines were balanced pruned at two levels or fixed node pruned at two levels to give four pruning severities. For balanced pruning, vines were pruned to leave 33 or 66 fruiting nodes for the first 500 g pruning weight and an additional 11 nodes for each additional 500 g pruning weight. For fixed node pruning, vines were pruned to 100 or 120 fruiting nodes per vine. The 120-node vines were also manually cluster-thinned at 30 days after bloom to target 0, 25, or 50% crop removal. In a second study, the 120-node pruning with midseason fruit-thinning was repeated over 11 years to assess seasonal differences on the crop load response. Crop load was measured as the yield-to-pruning weight ratio (Y:PW) and ranged from 1 to 40 in this study. On average, the industry standard of 16 Brix was achieved at a Y:PW of 20, and no seasonal pruning weight change was observed at a Y:PW of 17.5. There was a positive linear relationship between seasonal growing degree days and the Y:PW needed to reach 16 Brix, as well as between seasonal precipitation and the Y:PW required to observe no seasonal pruning weight change. The results from this study were used to improve crop load management recommendations for New York Concord vineyards under current practices. [Z 215]

    Abstract Mechanical energy harvesting can provide a promising alternative to electrochemical batteries, which are currently widely utilized to power mobile electronics. In this work we present a theoretical analysis of a recently proposed method of mechanical energy harvesting, which combines a reverse electrowetting phenomenon with the fast self-oscillating process of bubble growth and collapse. We investigate the details of the bubble dynamics and analyze the dependence of the energy generation process on the system parameters. The results demonstrate that self-oscillation frequencies of several kHz are possible, which can lead to very high power generation densities in excess of 10

    Abstract Background and purpose: A global decrease in brain perfusion has recently been reported during exposure to a ground-based spaceflight analog. Considering that CSF and glymphatic flow are hypothesized to be propelled by arterial pulsations, it is unknown whether a change in perfusion would impact these CSF compartments. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the relationship among changes in cerebral perfusion, ventricular volume, and perivascular space volume before, during, and after a spaceflight analog.
    Materials and methods: Eleven healthy participants underwent 30 days of bed rest at 6° head-down tilt with 0.5% atmospheric CO
    Results: Global perfusion followed a divergent time trajectory from ventricular and perivascular space volume, with perfusion decreasing during the analog, whereas ventricular and perivascular space volume increased (
    Conclusions: The patterns of change in brain physiology observed in healthy participants suggest a relationship between cerebral perfusion and CSF homeostasis. Further study is warranted to determine whether a causal relationship exists and whether similar neurophysiologic responses occur during spaceflight.
