The FairRoot framework is the standard framework for simulation, reconstruction and data analysis for the FAIR experiments. The framework is designed to optimise the accessibility for beginners and ...developers, to be flexible and to cope with future developments. FairRoot enhances the synergy between the different physics experiments. As a first step toward simulation of free streaming data, the time based simulation was introduced to the framework. The next step is the event source simulation. This is achieved via a client server system. After digitization the so called "samplers" can be started, where sampler can read the data of the corresponding detector from the simulation files and make it available for the reconstruction clients. The system makes it possible to develop and validate the online reconstruction algorithms. In this work, the design and implementation of the new architecture and the communication layer will be described.

The commonalities between the ALICE and FAIR experiments and their computing requirements led to the development of large parts of a common software framework in an experiment independent way. The ...FairRoot project has already shown the feasibility of such an approach for the FAIR experiments and extending it beyond FAIR to experiments at other facilities1, 2. The ALFA framework is a joint development between ALICE Online- Offline (O2) and FairRoot teams. ALFA is designed as a flexible, elastic system, which balances reliability and ease of development with performance using multi-processing and multithreading. A message- based approach has been adopted; such an approach will support the use of the software on different hardware platforms, including heterogeneous systems. Each process in ALFA assumes limited communication and reliance on other processes. Such a design will add horizontal scaling (multiple processes) to vertical scaling provided by multiple threads to meet computing and throughput demands. ALFA does not dictate any application protocols. Potentially, any content-based processor or any source can change the application protocol. The framework supports different serialization standards for data exchange between different hardware and software languages.
In the present context, the bioaccumulation of aluminium nanoparticles (AlNPs) in Elodea canadensis (a perennial aquatic plant), Melanopsis praemorsa (freshwater snail), and cercaria and sporocyst of ...some molluscs (infected with Cercaria agstaphensis 25 larvae) was studied using light microscope and transmission electron microscope. Further, the bioaccumulation of AlNPs in the simplified food chain components (plant, mollusc, and trematoda) was observed in electronograms using linear scanning of the level of gray intensity (grey value) of unstained ultra-thin sections. Results depicted that AlNPs were accumulated in the cell wall and intercellular spaces of E. canadensis leaf, cytoplasm of M. praemorsa's digestive glands (passing through by microvilli of epithelium cells), and parenchyma (wall tissue) as well as internal organs of the cercaria. In addition, the pathomorphological changes due to AlNPs in plant, mollusk, and parasite were also studied at the histological and ultrastructural level which showed thinning of the tunica propria of the digestive glands, irregularity of digestive glands, and formation of edema. Ultra-thin incisions made from the digestive glands infected with sporocysts containing cercariae showed that AlNPs passed through the wall of the sporocyst (capsule) into the parenchyma of the cercaria (wall tissue), and then accumulated in the internal organs of the cercaria. In a nutshell, this study revealed the adverse effect of AlNPs accumulation in plant, mollusk, and trematoda which emphasized to minimize the leakage of toxic nanoparticles contaminants in freshwater and marine environments.
The morphology and chetotaxia of Cercaria metagonimus sp. Manafov, 1991 of the Azerbaijan have been studied. The structure of glandular apparatus is of especial importance for the description of this ...group of cercariae. On the basis of the original and literary data the taxonomical significance some morphological characters of Heterophyidae cercariae are discussed.
The structure (illustrated by pictures) and differential diagnoses of 3 new closely related forms of stylet cercaria (Cercaria agstaphensis 8, Cercaria agstaphensis 21 and Cercaria agstaphensis 16) ...are given. Special attention was paid to the armament of the glandular apparatus, to the excretory and digestive systems, and to other taxonomically important structural peculiarities.
Pictures and descriptions of morphology and differential diagnosis of two new species of cyathocotylid cercariae--Cercaria agstaphensis 37 and Cercaria agstaphensis 38 are given. Special attention is ...paid to the structure of the glandular apparatus, excretory system, tegument armature, and other individual peculiarities of cercariae.
Two closely related forms of virgulate cercaria, Cercaria agstaphensis 9 and C. agstaphensis 10 of the superfamily Lecithodendroidea from water bodies of Azerbaijan are described. Morphological data, ...including chaetotaxic traits, fugures, and differential diagnoses are provided. Descriptions of armature, glandular apparatus, excretory and digestive systems, inclusions of parenchyma, and other structures of the cercaria, characteristic for the superfamily, are presented.
Description a lecithodendroid cercaria, Cercaria rhionica II (Galaktionov, Dobrovolskij, 1987) (Plagiorchiida: Lecithodendroidea) from the freshwater mollusk Melanopsis praemorsa (L.) from the Kura ...River in Azerbaijan is given, including figures, morphological data, and differential diagnosis. Special attention is paid to the structure of excretory system, secretory apparatus, tegument armature, inclusions in parenchyma, topography of sensilla (chaetotaxy) and some peculiarities of cercarian biology. The paper also includes some data on the life cycle of the parasite, including figures and descriptions of experimentally obtained cysts and metacercariae.
