Abstract

Molecular hydrogen (hydrogen gas; H2) is gaining prominence in the scientific literature as well as the popular media. Early studies suggest the use of H2 treatment for a wide range of human diseases, from COVID-19 to various neurodegenerative diseases. Moreover, its biological activity also appears to have therapeutic and regulatory effects in plants. Accordingly, it has been suggested to be useful in agricultural settings. H2 has effects on a range of physiological events in plants. It has been shown to have effects on seed germination, plant growth, and development. It has also been found to be involved in plant stress responses and to be protective against abiotic stress. It also has beneficial effects during the post-harvest storage of crops. Therefore, its use in the agricultural setting has great potential as it appears to be safe, with no toxicity or harm to the environment. One of the conundrums of the use of H2 is how it induces these effects in plants and plant cells. It is difficult to envisage how it works based on a classical receptor mechanism. There is evidence that it may act as a direct antioxidant, by scavenging hydroxyl radicals, or via enhancing the plant’s innate antioxidant system as a signaling molecule. It has also been reported to exert effects through action on heme oxygenase, cross-talk with other signaling molecules, and regulating the expression of various genes. However, how H2 fits into, and integrates with, other signaling pathways is not clearly understood. Future work is needed to elucidate the mechanism and significance of the interaction of H2 with these and other cellular systems.

Abstract

As the amount of biological and its diversity accumulates massively there is a critical need to facilitate the integration of this data to allow new and unexpected conclusions to be drawn from it. The Semantic Web is a new wave of web-based technologies that allows the linking of data between diverse data sets via standardised data formats ("big data"). Semantic Biology is the application of semantic web technology in the biological domain (including medical and health informatics). The Special Topic welcomes papers in this very broad area, including not only ontologies (development and applications), but also text mining, data integration and data analysis making use of the technologies of the Semantic Web. Ontologies are a critical requirement for such integration as they allow conclusions drawn about biological experiments, or descriptions of biological entities, to be understandable and integratable despite being contained in different databases and analysed by different software systems. Ontologies are the standard structures used in biology, and more broadly in computer science, to hold standardized terminologies for particular domains of knowledge. Ontologies consist of sets of standard terms, which are defined and may have synonyms for ease of searching and to accommodate different usages by different communities. These terms are linked by standard relationships, such as “is a” (an eye “is a” sense organ) or “part of” (an eye is “part of” a head). By linking terms in this way, more detailed, or granular, terms can be linked to broader terms, allowing computation to be carried out that takes these relationships into account.

Abstract

Lorsque les filles de Walt Disney le supplient d’adapter au cinéma leur livre préféré, « Mary Poppins », celui-ci leur fait une promesse… qu’il mettra vingt ans à tenir ! Dans sa quête pour obtenir les droits d’adaptation du roman, Walt Disney va se heurter à l’auteure, Pamela Lyndon Travers, femme têtue et inflexible qui n’a aucunement l’intention de laisser son héroïne bien aimée se faire malmener par la machine hollywoodienne. Mais quand les ventes du livre commencent à se raréfier et que l’argent vient à manquer, elle accepte à contrecoeur de se rendre à Los Angeles pour entendre ce que Disney a imaginé… Au cours de deux semaines intenses en 1961, Walt Disney va se démener pour convaincre la romancière. Armé de ses story-boards bourrés d’imagination et des chansons pleines d’entrain composées par les talentueux frères Sherman, il jette toutes ses forces dans l’offensive, mais l’ombrageuse auteure ne cède pas. Impuissant, il voit peu à peu le projet lui échapper… Ce n’est qu’en cherchant dans le passé de P.L. Travers, et plus particulièrement dans son enfance, qu’il va découvrir la vérité sur les fantômes qui la hantent. Ensemble, ils finiront par créer l’un des films les plus inoubliables de l’histoire du 7ème art…
