Societal Impact Statement As climate change accelerates, breeding resilient crops is urgent. The date palm ( Phoenix dactylifera L.), a crucial 18 billion USD fruit crop, underpins North African and West Asian oasis agroecosystems. This study investigates the genetics morphology of its closest wild relative, endemic endangered Cape Verde atlantica A.Chev.). We reveal that latter originated through feralisation process from domesticated palms, evolving back into state with unique genetic...
Most stars form as part of a star cluster. The most massive clusters in the Milky Way exist two groups - loose and compact with significantly different sizes at end formation process. After their both types expand up to factor 10-20 within first 20 Myr. Gas expulsion process is usually regarded only possible that can lead such an expansion.We investigate effect gas by direct comparison between numerical models observed concentrating on masses >10^3 M(sun). For these initial conditions before...
Context: Field stars are not always single stars, but can often be found in bound double systems. Since binary frequencies the birth places of young embedded clusters, sometimes even higher than on average question arises how form dense star clusters and their properties evolve to those observed field population. Aims: We assess, influence stellar dynamical interactions primordial population cluster environments. Methods: perform numerical N-body simulations Orion Nebula Cluster like models...
Most stars form in a cluster environment. These are initially surrounded by discs from which potentially planetary systems form. Of all environments starburst clusters probably the most hostile for our Galaxy. The intense stellar radiation and extreme density favour rapid destruction of circumstellar via photoevaporation encounters. Evolving virialized model Arches Galactic tidal field we investigate effect encounters on prototypical cluster. Despite its proximity to deep gravitational...
Surveys of the binary populations in solar neighbourhood have shown that periods G- and M-type stars are log-normally distributed. However, observations young suggest a log-uniform distribution. Clearly some process(es) change period distribution over time. Most form star clusters, which two important dynamical processes occur: i) gas-induced orbital decay embedded systems ii) destruction soft binaries three-body interactions. The emphasis here is on has been largely neglected so far. Using...
Context. The expulsion of the unconverted gas at end star formation process potentially leads to expansion just formed stellar cluster and membership loss. degree mass loss depends largely on efficiency scales with size group when interactions can be neglected.
The realization that most stars form in clusters, raises the question of whether star/planet formation are influenced by cluster environment. stellar density prevalent clusters is key factor here. Whether dominant modes clustered star exist a fundamental question. Using near-neighbour searches young Bressert et al. (2010) claim this not to be case and conclude continuous from isolated densely clustered. We investigate under which conditions can distinguish between different formation....
Social Impact Statement The use of neglected and underutilized species (NUS) in agrosystems is a potential solution to the challenges arising from global change. These could contribute equitable diversification agricultural systems. Providing knowledge on their genetic diversity fostering access data results essential for development strong collaborative future research. study addressed these issues by assessing largest fonio ( Digitaria exilis ) collection existing date. Associated with...
Oasis agriculture has been a critical means of sustenance for humans in arid regions North Africa and West Asia. The date palm ( Phoenix dactylifera L.) holds immense significance as one the most vital species these agroecosystems. It was domesticated Gulf region over 6000 years ago later spread to other regions. In Sahara, origins germplasm diffusion history terms dating routes remain largely unknown. To explore questions, we employed traditional geometric morphometric methods analyse 312...

Abstract Genetic diversity analysis is pivotal for optimizing the use of genetic resources and deploying conservation strategies in face global changes. This important essential indigenous species often neglected by research. research was carried out to examine pattern structure among fonio ( Digitaria exilis (Kippist) Stapf) accessions Ghana. Following farmer surveys collection efforts key fonio-growing regions Ghana, we amassed a comprehensive 176 from 165 farmers across 24 communities....
The analysis of seeds from archaeobotanical assemblages is essential for understanding the history crop cultivation. However, majority these are typically found charred, a condition that not only degrades DNA, which hinders genetic studies, but also distorts their morphological features, may bias comparisons with uncharred modern samples. While effects charring on several other or fruits well-documented, date palm remain largely unexamined, limiting our ability to use charred effectively...
Good teachers recognize how each of their students is different from the others and adapt they support them. We replicate such a capability to understand individual specificities children. Our approach observed social signals fifth graders based on daily classroom behavior using sensor network. used depth cameras track positions identified them with RGB cameras. 84 children (three classes) these results estimate school-related children's characteristics: self-efficacy, performance-goal, exam...
We are facilitating software development for mobile social robots that operate `in the wild': is, in real daily environments such as shopping malls. One fundamental difficulty is testing unfinished programs on a robot and presence of people, because this process can take significantly time-consuming. To ease development, we developed simulator allows simulation interactions among between people robot. With user study, analyzed how people's working changed evaluated amount time they saved...

Program successes with students under-represented populations limitations also experienced discussed. Our based on highly...
Detecting and recognizing low-moral actions in public spaces is important. But are rare, so order to learn recognize a new action general we need rely on limited number of samples. In study the recognition from comparatively small dataset, this work introduced dataset human consisting large part behaviors. addition, used test performance classifiers, which either depth data or extracted skeletons. The results show that both skeleton based classifiers were able achieve similar classification...
Abstract The key questions relating to the evolutionary processes underlying plant colonization success pertain geographic origin of source population(s), location migration routes, extent which genetic diversity is reduced via founder effects, and gene flow among populations during expansion. However, these must still be addressed for perennial herbaceous plants with large distributions. We investigated history Dianthus carthusianorum (the Carthusian Pink), one most widespread European...
