Linear relationships between cherry tomato traits

O objetivo deste artigo foi identificar a relacao linear entre os componentes da produtividade do tomate cereja. Dois ensaios de uniformidade, sem tratamentos, foram instalados em estufas plasticas nas estacoes primavera/verao de 2014 com tomate cereja Lilli, com as plantas conduzidas em duas hastes. As variaveis observadas em cada planta foram o comprimento medio de fruto, a sua largura media, o peso medio seu, o numero de cachos, o numero de frutos por cacho, o numero total de frutos e o peso total de frutos, sendo estimada a matriz de correlacao de Pearson entre elas. Posteriormente, foi realizada a analise de trilha considerando-se o peso total de frutos como variavel principal e as demais como variaveis explicativas. Devido a multicolinearidade severa, optou-se pela eliminacao da variavel numero de frutos por cacho. Os coeficientes de correlacao de Pearson, entre as variaveis explicativas e a variavel principal, foram significativos. O peso medio de frutos tem baixa relacao de causa e efeito com o peso total de frutos produzidos. Tambem, o numero de frutos e o numero de cachos apresentaram baixa relacao de causa e efeito entre si. A produtividade do tomate cereja esta diretamente relacionada com o numero de frutos por planta.
Toward a Scholarship of Peace Leadership By : Whitney

This article discusses the phenomenon of peace leadership, an emerging sub-area of leadership studies. This literature review discusses peace leadership scholarly work specifically identified as such by its authors, and therefore does not include literature potentially viewed as informing the broader discussion of peace leadership. The peace leadership specific scholarly literature discussed herein includes work on the traits, characteristics, and practices of peace leaders; peace leader role and responsibilities; and the connective and collective nature of peace leadership. Discussion of the literature concludes with a proposed definition of peace leadership and three suggestions for ways to continue to build peace leadership scholarship including: empirical studies, theoretical and conceptual model creation, and ongoing informed discussions, and in itself contributes to the emerging conversation of peace leadership.
Nonlinear waves with a threefold rotational symmetry in pipe flow: influence of a strongly shear-thinning rheology

In order to model the transition to turbulence in pipe flow of non-Newtonian fluids, the influence of a strongly shear-thinning rheology on the travelling waves with a threefold rotational symmetry of Faisst & Eckhardt (Phys. Rev. Lett., vol. 91, 2003, 224502) and Wedin & Kerswell (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 508, 2004, pp. 333–371) is analysed. The rheological model is Carreau’s law. Besides the shear-thinning index $n_{C}$ , the dimensionless characteristic time $\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}$ of the fluid is considered as the main non-Newtonian control parameter. If $\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}=0$ , the fluid is Newtonian. In the relevant limit $\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}\rightarrow +\infty$ , the fluid approaches a power-law behaviour. The laminar base flows are first characterized. To compute the nonlinear waves, a Petrov–Galerkin code is used, with continuation methods, starting from the Newtonian case. The axial wavenumber is optimized and the critical waves appearing at minimal values of the Reynolds number $\mathit{Re}_{w}$ based on the mean velocity and wall viscosity are characterized. As $\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}$ increases, these correspond to a constant value of the Reynolds number based on the mean velocity and viscosity. This viscosity, close to the one of the laminar flow, can be estimated analytically. Therefore the experimentally relevant critical Reynolds number $\mathit{Re}_{wc}$ can also be estimated analytically. This Reynolds number may be viewed as a lower estimate of the Reynolds number for the transition to developed turbulence. This demonstrates a quantified stabilizing effect of the shear-thinning rheology. Finally, the increase of the pressure gradient in waves, as compared to the one in the laminar flow with the same mass flux, is calculated, and a kind of ‘drag reduction effect’ is found.

A general method for validating statistical downscaling methods under future climate change

Statistical downscaling methods (SDMs) are often used to increase the resolution of future climate projections from coupled atmosphere‐ocean general circulation models (GCMs). However, SDMs are not able to capture small‐scale dynamical changes unresolved by GCMs. For this reason, we propose a two‐step generalized validation process to evaluate the performance of any statistical downscaling method relative to regional climate model (RCM) simulations driven by the same GCM fields. First, we compare historical station‐based observations with simulations obtained from a statistical model fitted to and driven by reanalysis fields, and then driven by historical GCM fields. Then, the SDM is required to produce future projections consistent with RCM simulations used as pseudo‐observations under future emissions scenarios. Using the climate extension of the fifth generation Penn‐State/NCAR Mesoscale Model (CMM5) driven by NCAR/DOE Parallel Climate Model (PCM) simulations, we apply this method to identify the strengths/weaknesses of a nonhomogeneous stochastic weather typing method.
Impact of E-Service Quality and Customer Value on Customer Satisfaction in LocalBrand

This research aimed to investigate the impact of e-service quality and customer value on customer satisfaction. This research was descriptive-associative in which researcher described not only the value of research variables but also the influence or relationship between independent variables and the dependent variable. A survey on e-marketplace of online fashion local brand in Indonesia was conducted. Using purposive sampling, the researcher distributed questionnaires to buyers or customers on the LocalBrand (LB) website, and 150 questionnaires were analyzed. Partial Least Square (PLS) was used as the statistic method for analyzing the research model. The results show that customer value has a significant influence on the customer satisfaction. However, e-service quality does not have a significant influence on customer satisfaction.
Gynaecological morbidity among women in a Bombay slum.

This study is intended to fill that gap in knowledge of gynaecological morbidity in a slum area of Bombay served by Streehitakarini a health-based voluntary organization in Bombay. Streehitakarini is a prominent non-governmental organization with a long history in this area starting in 1964 with a medical clinic set up in its headquarters in the area. The clinic has been catering to the health needs of poor women and children and has succeeded in involving local women as grass-roots workers in becoming a nucleus for activities focusing on womens welfare as well as establishing itself as a major health provider in the area. Streehitakarinis intensive health education and child survival programmes led to a concern among women first about their childrens health but increasingly about their own health needs as well. The study hence grew out of Streehitakarinis need to understand the full range of health needs of the women served. The objective of this study is thus to determine the levels patterns and correlates of gynaecological morbidity in an urban slum focusing on both womens perceptions and assessment of their gynaecological health as well the conclusions of medical assessments and laboratory tests.

ON THE HYPERBOLICITY OF TWO-LAYER FLOWS

We consider the two-layer shallow water equations in the presence of the top free surface and find explicit conditions for which the system is hyperbolic. It is commonly believed that, analogously to the rigid-lid case, this can only happen for small relative speeds. Using both the root location criteria for a quartic equation and a geometrical approach, it is shown that hyperbolicity is held for not only small, but also large relative speeds.
Demand Deposits And Transaction Technology Innovation

The rapid diffusion of ATM and POS during the last decade may have changed money demand patterns; therefore, standard econometric analysis of money demand that do not account for these developments may suffer from a potentially serious omitted variable problem. This paper analyzes the effect of transaction technology innovation on demand deposits. Using panel data for Italy we have two results. First, transaction technology innovation has a positive effect on demand deposits. Second, accounting for this innovation in the regressions significantly reduces the income elasticity of money demand typically detected in the existing empirical estimates. JEL classification: E41.
A study on the effect of mobile tourism information services on tourist satisfaction and continual reuse intention

This study investigates how perceived risk, innovation, social effects, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and satisfaction determine tourists’ continual usage intentions of mobile tourism information services. To test the conceptual model, Structural Equation Modeling was applied to data collected from Korean tourists. The results showed that there were significant relationships between the variables except two paths. The two insignificant paths were the effect of innovation on perceived usefulness and on perceived ease of use. Perceived risk, social effects, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and satisfaction were each found to have a direct or indirect influence on tourists’ continual reuse intentions. The identified factors that influence continual usage intentions on mobile services are potentially useful for analyzing the market trends and suggesting industrial guidelines for mobile services.
Relationship between the natural duration of diapause and post-diapause reproduction in the cabbage beetle, Colaphellus bowringi (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae).

The cabbage beetle, Colaphellus bowringi Baly undergoes an imaginal summer and winter diapause in the soil; adult emergence is spread over several months to more than 2 years, with prolonged diapause occurring in certain adults under natural conditions. The relationship between natural duration of diapause and postdiapause reproduction was investigated at 25°C under 12L: 12D photoperiod. The mean body weight of postdiapause adults with the long diapause duration of 21 months was significantly greater than with the shorter diapause duration of 5, 11 and 17 months. The longevity and mean total egg production of the postdia- pause adult females with the long diapause duration of 21 months was significantly greater than that of postdiapause females with shorter diapause duration of 5, 11 and 17 months. All results demonstrate that extended diapause is associated with a high level of postdiapause reproductive performance. There is no negative trade off between diapause duration and the post-diapause reproductive traits that we measured in C. bowringi.
Microbiological and Molecular Characteristics of Chronic and Aggressive Periodontitis

In 1999, a novel classification of periodontal diseases was advocated by International Workshop for a Classification of Periodontal Diseases. It clearly demarcates the nomenclature and diagnostic criteria of periodontal diseases, emphasizing generalized aggressive periodontitis and Generalized chronic periodontitis. Although periodontal disease has been subdivided into two entities, its classification and diagnosis still presents an issue. It is obvious that with the advent of technological advancement a new system ought to be created, enabling clinicians to pinpoint the diagnosis. Research teams are utilizing various forms of assays in order to develop a more lucid understanding on how to differentiate between the two forms of the disease. The aim of our review was to show whether there are any differences and/or similarities between the two forms of periodontitis at the biochemical, microbiological and molecular level. Although future prospects in the field of molecular biology may assist clinicians through the development of a innovative “intrinsic” classification we still have to develop a better understanding of the etiological factors, pathogenesis, genetics and how microorganisms are linked with various types of periodontal disease (Dent. Med. Probl. 2015, 52, 3, 330–335).
Consensus Problem of High-Order Multiagent Systems with Time Delays

In this paper, we consider the consensus problem of high-order multiagent systems on both fixed and switching interaction topologies with time delays. A neighbor-based protocol is presented, under which we prove that the state errors converge to zero asymptotically if there is a solution to a given Riccati inequality. The proof of our theorem is shown in time domain based on a Lyapunov approach. A numerical example is introduced to indicate the correctness of our analysis.
Performance of indigenous sheep in the agro-pastoral farming system of Tanzania: A case of Mpwapwa district, Tanzania

This study presents growth and reproductive performance of Gogo sheep in Tanzania. Growth and reproductive data were collected for three years and analysed using General Linear Models. Gogo sheep are aseasonal with two peak lambing trend. Lambs born in dry season had higher birth and one month of age weights than those born in wet season (2.32 vs 2.32 kg; 5.86 vs 4.57 kg) respectively. BCS was highest (3.43) for yearlings in wet season and lowest (1.98) for one year of age in dry season. Sex and birth type had an influence on growth by males having higher birth weight (2.40 kg) than females (2.13 kg). Furthermore males were superior to females at age of one month (5.53 vs 4.90 kg) and two months (8.85 vs 8.23) respectively. Age at first lambing and lambing interval were 448 and 320 days respectively. Gogo sheep could be improved through feeding and management.
Molecular systematics of Echinops L. (Asteraceae, Cynareae): A phylogeny based on ITS and trnL-trnF sequences with emphasis on sectional delimitation

The monogeneric subtribe Echinopsinae of Cynareae (Asteraceae) was analysed using nrDNA ITS and plastid trnL-trnF for 81 of the ca. 120 species, representing all Echinops sections except Cenchrolepis and Pterolepis. Maximum parsimony and Bayesian analyses were used for each dataset and for the combined data. The resulting molecular phylogenetic framework resolves Echinops as monophyletic and confirms the inclusion ofE. acantholepis (= Acantholepis orientalis) within the genus. Echinops is divided into two lineages, one consisting of E. sect. Chamaechinops and sect. Acantholepis (almost exclusively annual or biennial), and the other the remaining sections (almost all perennial). Our results support an infrageneric classification of Echinops into nine previously recognized sections: Acantholepis (= Nanechinops), Chamaechinops, Echinops (= Terma), Hamolepis, Hololeuce, Oligolepis, Phaeochaete, Psectra and Ritropsis, all resolved as strongly monophyletic after some species relocations. The status of E. sect. Phaeochaete and the sectional assignment of E. onopordum, E. pungens and E. transcaucasicus remain to be clarified. The evolution of involucral bracts is congruent with the phylogenetic framework and supports the sectional classification. Annual pollen type does not constitute an autapomorphy of the clade grouping the annuals but may represent the ancestral character state for the entire genus.
Morphological and Molecular Variation in Rhinogobius rubromaculatus (Pisces: Gobiidae) in Taiwan

of the alleles was fixed among the new color type and R. rubromaculatus populations, with an allozyme genetic distance of from 0.001 to 0.078, which greatly differed from those of R. candidianus (0.523~0.687) and 2 other undetermined Rhinogobius species from the Ryukyus, Japan (0.326~0.464). The complete sequences of the cytochrome b gene, tRNA genes, and the control region of mtDNA revealed substitution differences within R. rubromaculatus at 207 base pairs (bp) and among the 3 species at 363 bp. The sequence diversity within the population was from 0.000 to 0.004. Among local populations of R. rubromaculatus, the sequence mean distance diversities were from 0.005 to 0.074, which is smaller than that between R. rubromaculatus and another Rhinogobius species (0.094~0.113). Both markers were congruent in revealing significant differences between samples of R. rubromaculatus (global F ST = 0.404 for the allozyme and ΦST = 0.986 for the mitochondrial DNA data). The molecular trees of R. rubromaculatus constructed based on both allozyme and mtDNA data revealed a closer relationship between central and southern populations than with a northern population. Discrete phenotypes could have been produced by phenotypic plasticity. http://www.sinica. edu.tw/zool/zoolstud/44.1/119.pdf
Mediating Effect of Stakeholder Roles on the Relationship between Destination Branding and Competitive Advantage in Kenya

Stakeholders such as local communities and service providers have long been engaged in tourism planning, however, there is rare insights into stakeholder collaboration in destination branding (Pike and Page, 2014). This study examines whether stakeholder roles: Leadership, Brand Association, Brand Uniqueness, Cocreation and Perceived quality have a significant role as a mediating variable, between destination branding and competitive advantage. The study used random sampling of three hundred and eight tourism related business sectors across Nairobi, Nakuru, and Kisumu counties in Kenya. The Main Findings of the study are (i) Mediation effect of Leadership, brand association, Brand Uniqueness, Co-creation and Perceived Brand Quality with respect to independent and dependent variable are significant because their normal theory test for direct has a p value less than 0.05. This Concludes that Mediators referred to as Leadership, brand association, Brand Uniqueness, Co-creation and Perceived Brand Quality are partial mediators because there is reduction (not total elimination) from . 6788 to . 5709, . 6788 to . 5701, . 6788 to . 6088, . 6788 to . 6136, . 6788 to . 5476 of coefficient of X variable respectively. The results of the study will help with establishing strategies for the incorporation of the various stakeholders in destination branding strategies in the tourism industries.
Effect of organo-modified montmorillonite on poly(butylene succinate)/poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) nanocomposites

The composite material based on poly(butylene succinate) (PBS), poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) and organo-modified montmorillonite (OMMT) were prepared by melt blending technique and characterized. Sodium montmorillonite (Na-MMT) was successfully modified by octadecylammonium (ODA) and dimethyldioctadecylammonium (DDOA) salts to become OMMT through cation exchange technique which is shown by the increase of basal spacing of clay by XRD. The addition of the OMMT to the PBS/PBAT blends produced nanocomposites which is proved by XRD and TEM. Tensile tests showed increase in tensile strength and modulus which is attributed to the existence of strong interactions between PBS/PBAT and clay, particularly with OMMT. Highest tensile strength of nanocomposite was observed at 1 wt% of OMMT incorporated. TGA study showed that the thermal stability of the blend increased after the addition of clays. SEM micrographs of the fracture surfaces show that the morphology of the blend becomes homogeneous and smoother with presence of OMMT.

Variables correlated with the productivity of judges of the first instance of the State Court of Minas Gerais

Judicial performance is a complex subject of great social importance; however, it is little studied under the lens of Public Administration. The work performed by the judges is the central element of judicial performance; therefore, identifying variables that influence the performance of these professionals can increase the knowledge in this area. Thus, this study aims to explain what influences the productivity of state judges of the first instance court in Brazil. Data regarding the performance of 581 judges holding the first instance of the State Court of Minas Gerais were analyzed using statistical techniques. The results indicate that the number of support staff and the workload are positively correlated with the productivity of judges. Explanations are presented for the results found and discussed theoretical and practical implications for the administration of courts in the country.
