The reaction of tomato plants carrying Mi-1 gene to different inoculation densities of Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White, 1919) Chitwood, 1949

The response of the Mi-1 gene to different densities of Meloidogyne incognita race 2 was investigated under controlled conditions. Susceptible and resistant tomato seedlings were inoculated with 25, 50, 100, 200, 400, 1000, 2000, 5000 and 10 000 second-stage juveniles of M. incognita. Plants were uprooted 8 weeks after inoculation and the numbers of egg masses and galls on the roots, and second-stage juveniles in 100 g soil per pot were counted. In susceptible plants, there was a correlation between the number of egg masses on roots until 2000 J2 inoculum densities. In resistant plants, when inoculum densities increased, the number of egg masses and galls also increased. The reproduction factor ratio was >1 in the susceptible plant and <1 in the resistant plant. The data showed that the 5000 J2 inoculum was a critical limit, and 10 000 J2s were above threshold for resistant plants. The data indicate that densities of M. incognita can seriously affect the performance of the Mi-1 gene.
Determinants of Land Values during Compulsory Land Acquisition in Dar es Salaam: The Case of Kinyerezi and Kipawa Wards of Ilala Municipality

Compulsory land acquisition has been crumbed by a lot of complains from the affected people revolving around unfair compensation by the state. Such complains are common in many African countries including Tanzania. This study aimed at assessing the whole process of land acquisition, participation of stakeholders and effects of land values to the people affected by acquisition projects. The study was conducted in two land acquisition projects in Ilala Municipality specifically, Kinyerezi and Kipawa Wards. The mixed approach was adopted with quantitative data collected through survey of the 97 affected people in Kipawa and Kinyerezi Wards with questionnaires attaining 69 percent of response rate. Qualitative information was sought from key project stakeholders. The quantitative analysis was done by the Relative Important Index (RII) whereas the qualitative data was analysed thematically. The results show that the determinants of land values in the compulsory land acquisition are accessibility, neighborhood quality, plot potentiality, legal factor, national and international situation. The participation of the stakeholders was poor and people affected by these project were not satisfied with the projects. Thus, the projects carried on the acquired land are viewed negatively by the affected people since they consider that the process was unfair.
Developing the expressive artist : Constructive creativity in the technique class

Creativity in dance is most commonly conceptualised in terms of movement outcomes, including, in finished choreography, choice of movement or expression in performance, or as a result of creative movement tasks. Creativity is, though, a broad, complex, multi-faceted, and nebulous concept that can be conceptualised in many ways, including in dance. It can equally be given life in a new teaching strategy or curriculum, or as a new way to approach a problem, a means to an end, or an end in itself. It is always bound by context, time and place, and personal knowledge, prejudices, and values. In the teaching and learning of codified dance technique, constraints are often imposed by the dance genre itself, usually implicitly through history and tradition. Those traditions often dictate how classes are taught, as well as what is taught. By adopting the notion of constructive creativity, creativity and technique can be partners. The adjective “constructive” entails such connotations as being open to all ideas and experiences. Constructive creativity does not focus solely on creative outcomes, but, rather, highlights the importance of building creative behaviours and minds and encouraging creative attributes, such as critical thinking, not the least through personal expression, personal discovery, and personal construction of personal knowledge. Personal experience, especially during formative years, plays a major role in determining artistic beliefs, values, and understandings. Research at the Cloud Gate Dance School suggests that by adopting an interactive and experiential approach, and engaging students in reflection, enquiry, critical thinking, and problem solving, all important elements in the creative process, teachers can encourage them to be daring, adventurous, independent thinking, and self-motivated expressive artists rather than movement machines.
Characterization of aerosol Stokes number in 90° bends and idealized extrathoracic airways

Prediction of aerosol deposition in the respiratory system is important for improving the efficiency of inhaled drug delivery and for assessing the toxicity of airborne pollutants. Deposition is typically reported as a function of a global Stokes number which is based on a reference flow timescale, or the ratio of the characteristic flow length and velocity scales. In reality, however, particles experience varying flow timescales as they are advected through the airways, which motivates the use of an instantaneous Stokes number based on the local properties of the flow field. We then define the effective Stokes number as the time-average of the instantaneous value. This effective Stokes number thus encapsulates the flow history and geometric variability, and provides a more detailed account of the particle trajectory in the flow. Laminar and turbulent flows in a curved pipe are examined first and provide a simplified, or canonical, configuration of the flow in the upper airways. They are followed by a study of turbulent flow in an idealized mouth–throat geometry. Our results demonstrate that the effective Stokes number can deviate significantly from the traditional value based solely on the reference flow timescale. In addition, the effective Stokes number shows a clear correlation with deposition efficiency and can therefore be used to determine optimal aerosol release locations in order to minimize extrathoracic losses.
Monetary Policy and Inflation-Unemployment Variability in a New Keynesian Model

This paper uses a New Keynesian model with unemployment to analyse the effects of explicit inflation targeting on the inflation-unemployment variability trade-off. We argue that adopting an inflation targeting framework provides clarity and transparency to the inflation stabilisation objective of the central bank, thus improving monetary policy efficiency. On the other hand, increasing the policy weight on achieving an inflation target with less clear monetary policy objectives merely moves an economy along the variability frontier. Empirically, several key explicit inflation targeters show reduced variability in both inflation and unemployment. In contrast, non-inflation targeting economies that have seen reduced inflation variability do not display a decline in unemployment variability. These suggest that in terms of the inflation-unemployment variability trade-off, explicit inflation targeting could result in a superior outcome, lending support to the findings of our theoretical model.
Formation Conditions and 40 Ar / 39 Ar Age of the Gem-Bearing Boqueirão Granitic Pegmatite , Parelhas , Rio Grande do Norte , Brazil

The Boqueirão granitic pegmatite, alias Alto da Cabeça pegmatite, is situated in Borborema Pegmatitic Province (BPP) in Northeast Brazil. This pegmatitic province hosts globally important reserves of tantalum and beryllium, as well as significant quantities of gemstones, including aquamarine, morganite, and the high-quality turquoise-blue “Paraíba Elbaite”. The studied lithium-cesium-tantalum Boqueirão granitic pegmatite intruded meta-conglomerates of the Equador Formation during the late Cambrian (502.1 ± 5.8 Ma; 40Ar/39Ar plateau age of muscovite). The pegmatite exhibits a typical zonal mineral pattern with four defined zones (Zone I: muscovite, tourmaline, albite, and quartz; Zone II: K-feldspar (microcline), quartz, and albite; Zone III: perthite crystals (blocky feldspar zone); Zone IV: massive quartz). Huge individual beryl, spodumene, tantalite, and cassiterite crystals are common as well. Microscopic examinations revealed that melt inclusions were entrapped simultaneously with fluid inclusions, suggesting the magmatic– hydrothermal transition. The magmatic–hydrothermal transition affected the evolution of the pegmatite, segregating volatile compounds (H2O, CO2, N2) and elements that preferentially partition into a fluid phase from the viscous silicate melt. Fluid inclusion studies on microcline and associated quartz combined with microthermometry and Raman spectroscopy gave an insight into the P-T-X characteristics of entrapped fluids. The presence of spodumene without other LiAl(SiO3)2 polymorphs and constructed fluid inclusion isochores limited the magmatic–hydrothermal transition at the gem-bearing Boqueirão granitic pegmatite to the temperature range between 300 and 415 °C at a pressure from 1.8 to 3 kbar.
NUMERICAL STUDY OF WIND-TUNNEL ACOUSTIC RESONANCE INDUCED BY TWO-DIMENSIONAL AIRFOIL FLOW AT LOW REYNOLDS NUMBER

In the aeroacoustic measurements of a windtunnel test, the acoustic resonance should be avoided, associated with the walled test section. The present numerical study of an NACA0012 airfoil focuses on how the wall resonance affects unsteady flow motions via a feedback process, by comparing with the airfoil placed in a free stream. Tonal frequencies observed in the present simulations agree well with our previous wind-tunnel experiments, represented approximately by the discrete resonant modes derived through a simple geometrical relation. More importantly, however, the present results indicate that rather strong wall resonance may alter the hydrodynamic flow measurements as well. The acoustic feedback process stimulates the transitional boundary layer on the suction side, which would increase lift force in the acoustically resonant channel by suppressing trailing-edge separation. At a higher angle of attack, the increment of lift force becomes more significant due to the noticeable size reduction of a separation bubble, understood via the comparison of three-dimensional instantaneous vortical structures.
Relationship With an Aggressive Partner Individual Well-Being and Relationship Maintenance at Odds : The Unexpected Perils of Maintaining a

Partner aggression negatively affects well-being in ways that the people experiencing aggression may not expect. Individuals (n 1⁄4 171) who reported aggression by their current partner completed a longitudinal study. At the start of the study, participants rated their current happiness and how happy they expected to feel if their relationship were to end. The data revealed a partner aggression–unhappiness link and evidence of misforecasting future happiness: Committed individuals overestimated their unhappiness after a breakup because they expected worse things from a breakup than actually materialized, and people who experienced high partner aggression overestimated their unhappiness because they became more happy without the partner than they had expected. Forecasting unhappiness after a breakup predicted staying in an aggressive relationship. In aggressive relationships, bias occurs not only in forecasting future happiness but also in misreading how badly one feels now.
Surgical Management and Histopathological Classification of the Canine Mammary Gland Cancers

Adel M. Al-Akraa Alakraa63@yahoo.com Thirty sex canine mammary gland neoplasm had been recorded among female dogs during the period extended from 2013 to 2015. Malignant neoplasm of the mammary gland were recorded in 31 cases which represented by 86.2% of the examined animals. Out of these malignant masses, tubulopapillary mammary adenocarcinoma (7cases), carcinoma in benign mixed tumor (7cases) and cysticpapillary mammary adenocarcinoma (6cases) were the most commonly diagnosed mammary neoplasm . Only one case was recorded as malignant mixed tumor (carcinosarcoma) which represented (3.2%). Meanwhile, benign one was recorded in 5 animals which represented 13.8%. The all cases of benign neoplasm were adenomyoepithelioma (complex mammary adenocarcinoma). The surgical management as well as histopathological classification and the outcome of the surgery were all documented and considered.
Home truths about careless competitiveness

The literature on city-regionalism can be criticised for neglecting the mundane ways that cities and regions are socially reproduced (and contested) through processes of household decision-making and routine co-ordination. Moreover, dominant debates on macro-scale governance and economic competitiveness rarely question the way strategic city-regional partnerships equate notions of ‘liveability’ with marketability. However ‘smart’, these initiatives persistently fetishise growth, allowing little scope for collective endeavour or an ethic of care – values which Linda McDowell (2004) points out are fundamentally undermined by neoliberalism. This paper challenges the ‘top-down’ discourse of cityregionalism both on grounds of what it examines (economic efficiency and governance) and how this is viewed (partially and globally). The case is made for raising awareness of the structural inequalities which restrict the ‘choice of choices’ actually available to households competing for public services on the basis of uneven resource entitlement. This calls for an understanding of a ‘whole’ economy, recognising the full value of unpaid care-giving, volunteering and ‘free’ environmental resources.
Monaural Music Source Separation using a ResNet Latent Separator Network

In this paper we study the problem of monaural music source separation, where a piece of music is to be separated into its main constituent sources. We propose a simple yet effective deep neural network architecture based on a ResNet autoencoder. We investigate several data augmentation and post-processing methods to improve the separation results and outperform various state of the art monaural source separation methods on the DSD100 and MUSDB18 datasets. Our results suggest that in order to further push the state of the art in monaural music source separation we need more data, better data augmentation methods, as well as more effective post-processing methods; and not necessarily ever more complex neural network architectures.
Positive Benefits from Caring on Nurses’ Motivation and Well-being: a Dairy Study about the Role of Emotional Regulation Abilities at Work Authors

Background: Recent research reveals that not all job demands have negative effects on workers’ well-being and suggests that the negative or positive effects of specific job demands depend on the occupational sector. Specifically, emotional job demands form the heart of the work for nurses and for this reason they can be interpreted by nurses as a challenge that promotes motivation and well-being among these professionals, especially if personal and job resources become available. Objectives: The study had two objectives. First, to examine whether daily emotional demands within a nursing work context have a positive effect on nurses’ daily motivation at work (vigour) and well-being at home (vitality and positive affect). Second, to explore whether this positive effect could be enhanced by nurses’ emotional regulation abilities. Design: This research used a diary design to explore daily experiences and to analyse how variations in specific job or personal characteristics can affect levels of motivation and wellbeing across days. Participants: Fifty-three nurses working in different Spanish hospitals and primary health care centres completed a general questionnaire and a diary booklet over 5 consecutive working days in two different moments, after work and at night (N= 53 participants and N = 265 observations). Results: In line with our hypotheses, multi-level analyses revealed that, on the one hand, daylevel emotional demands at work had a positive effect on vigour at work and on vitality at home. On the other hand, analyses showed that nurses with higher emotional regulation abilities have more motivation at work and well-being at home when they have to face high emotional demands at work, showing a spillover effect after work. Conclusions: These findings support the idea that emotional demands from the nursing profession can act as challenges which promote motivation and well-being, especially if internal emotional resources become available.
Perspectives on Food Security : A Gender based Comparison of Rural Households in South East Nigeria

Household food insecurity remains a persistent and pressing social concern despite the economic gains that Nigeria has made over the years.The study focused on identifying the perception of male and female headed households about food security; the gaps in calories supplied as well as factors that interact to influence food supply.Primary data was collected using the farming and rural systems approach to randomly select and interview 120 households but a subsection of the sample is the basis for this study. Descriptive statistics was used to describe the perceptions about food security and gaps in calories supplied. Two-stage Least Square regression and the General Linear Model were used to determine the factors that influence calorie supply to the households as well as the influence exacted by the interaction of
The effect of horn-manure preparation on enzymes activity and nutrient contents in soil as well as great pumpkin yield

Abstract This investigation was inspired by an increasing global issue on how to improve soil quality while using alternative preparations instead of synthetic fertilizers. The main aim of a three-year study was to investigate the influence of horn-manure preparation on enzyme activity and nutrient content in soil and pumpkin yield. The results showed that significantly higher amounts of P (respectively 106 and 79 mg kg−1 CAL), K (149 and 106 mg kg−1 CAL), nitrogen (5.41 and 3.21 mg kg−1), ammoniacal nitrogen (9.38 and 3.45 mg kg−1) and mineral nitrogen (7.97 and 5.67 mg kg−1) were measured in the plots where the horn-manure preparation was used. A higher activity of the soil enzymes (urease activity was 1.93 times higher and the saccharase activity was 1.05 times higher) were identified with horn-manure. The average soil CO2 flux (Fc) value, when using horn-manure preparation (from 56 till 70 day), was significantly higher by 5.32% in the middle of the growing season. The yield of pumpkin was significantly increased by 18% with horn manure treatments. Significant positive correlations were identified between pumpkin yield and urease activity, and saccharase activity, as well as soil P and K.
Using D/MT to Elicit Social Change for the Incarcerated: A Literature Review

This literature review focuses on dance/movement therapy and other creative arts interventions that will help the incarcerated during and after incarceration. The incarcerated do not receive the help they need to successfully reintegrate into society, leading to increased recidivism rates. This population is often stigmatized as subhuman, and it is important for them to build self-worth and develop appropriate coping skills to better themselves. Creative arts programs display promising results, for they allow the incarcerated a break in their routine and an opportunity for creativity. Studies show that art and music therapy can help the incarcerated with emotional regulation, selfexpression, and depression. Dance/movement therapy is effective for this population based on its core principles of kinesthetic empathy, nonverbal communication, and validation. However, evidence for these programs is scarce because not enough research studies display consistent results through mixed methodologies. Arts-based research conveys the best results for this population by encouraging the researchers to collaborate with the incarcerated. The incarcerated want to share their stories to empower themselves and others, and this is most successful when they have an outlet to take control. Future research should concentrate on arts-based research with dance/movement therapy as the primary artistic intervention.
Studies on In Vitro Maturation and Fertilization of Nili-Ravi Buffalo Follicular Oocytes

The present work was conducted to study the in vitro maturation and fertilization of Nili-Ravi buffalo follicular oocytes. Buffalo ovaries were collected from local abattoir within four hours of slaughter and transported immediately to the laboratory. Follicular oocytes were recovered by aspiration and scoring methods. It was found that the scoring method was an appropriate method for high recovery of good quality oocytes per ovary as it yielded 3.85 oocytes per ovary than aspiration method (1.76 oocytes per ovary). The effect of size of the ovary on oocyte harvest was non-significant while, the absence of corpus luteum (CL) from ovary had a significantly positive effect on oocyte harvest. The ovaries with CL yielded significantly lower (P<0.05) good quality and total oocytes (2.63 and 3.76 per ovary) than the ovary without CL (4.48 and 5.88 per ovary). The comparison of two experimental maturation media revealed that tissue culture medium-199 (TCM-199) resulted in significantly better maturation rate (73.33%) than Ham’s F-10 (61.66%); whereas, these two media differ nonsignificantly for in vitro fertilization (42.66% and 36.00%).
Improving Secondary School Students' Scientific Literacy Ability Through The Design Of Better Science Textbooks

This study assessed ways by which science textbooks can be designed and developed to increase scientific literacy in secondary school students. Here inThe research and development method was used. The draft of the new science textbooks was incorporated into school instruction using a non-equivalent control group design with pretest and posttest measures. The instruments used comprised a test of textbook quality test, a text’s main idea readability test, and a scientific literacy ability test. Data on text’s main idea’s readability and textbook quality tests were analyzed qualitatively; an increase in scientific literacy was determined by the percentages of average normalized gains, Cohen’s d and t-test. The results reveal that the science textbooks developed in from the research have medium to high readability for of their main ideas, appropriate quality to be used as students’ handbooks or books accompanying teaching and learning, and can significantly increase scientific literacy.
