As If

Addressing the challenges of the Climate Emergency and the Biodiversity Crisis requires us to understand how the world's vegetation is changing. This is not a trivial task,especially in highly diverse tropical areas. Frequently, the only way to characterise vegetation is to make voucher specimens of the plants present and identify them later in the lab. Fortunately there are extensive reference collections carefully curated in herbaria. Unfortunately specimens and expertise are dispersed over hundreds of different herbaria spread across many countries. It would be more efficient if scientists could see and manipulate specimens independently of where they are stored, especially as travel becomes more difficult due to both the need to reduce carbon emissions and virus spread. Herbaria Mundi is an application demonstrating how how this can be achieved using CETAF Specimen IDs and IIIF (International Image Interoperability Framework). The application mimics the way a botanist might work in a physical herbarium by enabling the gathering of specimens into groups and side-by-side comparison of specimens, but differs in that one can search for and manipulate specimens in multiple herbaria as if they were stored in a single collection. Voucher specimens are often not added to herbaria mainly because they do not add enough value to material already in the collections. Herbaria Mundi therefore includes the ability for researchers to upload specimen images to Zenodo and for them to appear in the user interface as if they were in an institutional herbarium. This proof of concept application is being developed as part of Task 4.3 of the Synthesys+ project funded by the European Commission. Two things need to occur to take this concept into production. More herbaria need to adopt the use of CETAF specimen identifiers and the IIIF image API. Botanists need to prioritise which features they would like developed first. More herbaria need to adopt the use of CETAF specimen identifiers and the IIIF image API. Botanists need to prioritise which features they would like developed first. The poster will be a catalyst to discuss how these things can be achieved.

Concept Application

Nonaromatic, cross-conjugated, and highly twisted luminogens consisting of acylated succinimides demonstrate aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics and tunable multicolor photoluminescence and afterglows in their single crystals. Effective through-space conjugation among different moieties bearing n/π electrons promote the SOC and ISC transitions and lead to diverse emissive clusters with concurrently rigidified conformations, thus allowing readily tunable emissions. Derived from it, the proof of concept application for advanced anti-counterfeiting is illustrated. These results should spur the rational design of novel nonaromatic AIEgens, and moreover advance the understanding of the origin of tunable multicolor afterglows.

The article considers the problem of automatic chromosome abnormalities recognition, using images of chromosomes as an input. This paper’s scope includes overview of application domain and analysis of existing solutions. A high-level algorithm for chromosome abnormalities recognition automation is proposed, and a proof-of-concept application is built on top of the algorithm.

We present the concept of aptachain. An aptamer is split into two overlapping strands that form an oligomer when it binds its target. Aptachain formation can be used to detect ligand binding and may be beneficial in other biotechnology applications.
