Spatial and temporal stolbur population structure in a cv . Chardonnay vineyard according to vmp 1 gene characterization

Bois noir is a grapevine disease caused by the stolbur phytoplasma. It is widespread in all European and Mediterranean viticultural areas, and it can induce severe damage to the quality and quantity of production. The recent disease recrudescence has encouraged studies on the use of molecular markers to assess the genetic diversity of stolbur strains. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of Bois noir symptoms and to monitor the spatial genetic structure of the stolbur population according to vmp1 genotypes, through 2011 and 2012 in a cv. Chardonnay vineyard. In both years, there were increased vines with symptoms from July to September. The analysis of dispersal indices showed that the spatial distribution was uniform in the vineyard. However, the two-dimensional contour maps show that Bois noir severity was higher in plants located on the borders than in the central parts of the vineyard. Stolbur population was composed of two prevalent vmp genotypes (V14, V12) across both years, along with other minor haplotypes (V3, V4, V9, V11, V15, V18, in 2011; V3, V18 in 2012). The data indicate that the vmp1 gene is an efficient marker to study the population structure of stolbur phytoplasma, to track the movement of the pathogen, and to identify the inoculum source, which will all serve in the planning of control strategies.
Turbulence in Active Matters

The presence of active particles in fluid often results in complex collective patterns and dynamics. In this essay, we focus on a particular non-equilibrium phase that resembles turbulence in classical fluid dynamics. We review both the experimental setups and the candidates of modeling this phenomenon. Power laws in the energy spectrum have been found in both experiments and simulations, but controversy exists. ∗zliu106@illinois.edu †http://guava.physics. uiuc.edu/ nigel/courses/569/
Performance of school-aged children in the basic audiological evaluation and the binaural integration task

Purpose: To analyze the auditory performance of students in basic audiological evaluation, and later, in cases of integrity of the peripheral auditory pathways, to evaluate and compare the performance of children with good school performance (GC) and unsatisfactory school performance (GE) in binaural integration task. Methods: Cross-sectional and descriptive study. Anamnesis, basic audiological evaluation, and Dichotic Digits Test (DDT) were performed. The sample consisted initially of 63 children in the GE and 61 in the GC. The inclusion criteria for basic audiological evaluation for both groups were: schoolchildren aged from 8 to 10 years, native speakers of Brazilian Portuguese, with adequate understanding of the instructions provided. Results: The groups were homogeneous regarding age and heterogeneous regarding gender, with more boys in GE and girls in GC. Children of the GE presented worse hearing behavior in noisy environment, attention and agitation, in the perception of guardians. In the peripheral auditory evaluation, there was a statistically significant difference between the groups. GE presented hearing loss and/or alteration of the middle ear in a larger number of children. In DDT, statistically significant differences were found between the groups, the GE presented worse performance in the task of binaural integration. Conclusion: Children with unsatisfactory school performance presented worse peripheral auditory performance and figure-background ability for verbal sounds. Thus, auditory screening programs should include procedures of the basic audiological evaluation and the central auditory processing.
A TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE INDUCES NEUROPROTECTIVE AND NEUROREGENERATIVE BENEFITS AFTER TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY IN RATS

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a frequent and clinically highly heterogeneous neurological disorder with large socioeconomic consequences. NeuroAid (MLC601 and MLC901), a Traditional Medicine used in China for patients after stroke has been previously reported to induce neuroprotection and neuroplasticity. This study was designed to evaluate the neuroprotective and neuroregenerative effects of MLC901 in a rat model of TBI. TBI was induced by a moderate lateral fluid percussion applied to the right parietal cortex. MLC901 was injected intraperitoneally at 2 h post-TBI, and then administered in drinking water at a concentration of 10 mg/ml until sacrifice of the animals. The cognitive deficits induced by TBI were followed by using the ‘‘whatwhere-when’’ task, which allows the measurement of episodic-like memory. MLC901 treatment decreased brain lesions induced by TBI. It prevented the serum increase of S-100 beta (S100B) and neuron-specific enolase (NSE), which may be markers to predict the neurologic outcome in human patients with TBI. MLC901 reduced the infarct volume when injected up to 2 h post-TBI, prevented edema formation and assisted its resolution, probably via the regulation of aquaporin 4. These positive MLC901 effects were associated with an upregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) as well as an increase of endogenous hippocampal neurogenesis and gliogenesis around the lesion. Furthermore, MLC901 reduced cognitive deficits induced by TBI. Rats subjected to TBI displayed a suppression of temporal order memory, which was restored by MLC901. This work provides evidence that MLC901 has neuroprotective and neurorestorative actions, which lead to an improvement in the recovery of cognitive functions http://dx.doi. org/10.1016/j.neuroscience. 2014.06. 047 0306-4522/ 2014 The Authors.

CHAPTER 2 CHLORINATED SOLVENT CHEMISTRY : STRUCTURES , NOMENCLATURE AND PROPERTIES

Chlorinated solvents are organic compounds generally constructed of a simple hydrocarbon chain (typically one to three carbon atoms in length) to which at least one chlorine atom is covalently bonded. For the current discussion, chlorinated solvents will be further divided into three categories based upon common structural characteristics: chlorinated methanes, chlorinated ethanes and chlorinated ethenes. Examples from each solvent class are shown in Figure 2.1. Additional information pertaining to the nomenclature of these chemical species is provided in Table 2.1. Chlorinated methanes represent the most structurally simple solvent class and consist of a single carbon center (known as a methyl carbon) to which as many as four chlorine atoms are covalently bonded. From the perspective of groundwater contamination, perhaps the most well known chlorinated methane is carbon tetrachloride (CT). Also known by its International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) name of tetrachloromethane, CT consists of a fully chlorinated methyl carbon. By IUPAC conventions, the modifier of “tetra” serves as an indicator of the number of chlorine atoms bound to the carbon center. For chlorinated methanes other than CT, hydrogen atoms usually make up the remainder of the substituents necessary to satisfy the methyl carbon’s bonding requirements. Named in a similar fashion by IUPAC, the chlorinated methanes with a lower degree of halogenation are trichloromethane (commonly referred to as chloroform [CF]), dichloromethane (DCM, more commonly called methylene chloride [MC]) and chloromethane (CM, also referred to as methyl chloride). Chlorinated ethanes consist of two carbon centers joined by a single covalent bond. Common groundwater pollutants from this class include 1,1,1-trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA) and 1,2-dichloroethane. In regards to the nomenclature associated with chlorinated ethanes, a similar convention to that used for chlorinated methanes is employed in which the prefix attached to “chloroethane” indicates the total number of chlorine atoms on the solvent molecule. Common acronyms for this class follow the pattern in which the first letter (or series of letters) refers to the number of total halogen substituents (e.g., “T” for trichloroor “Te” for
Classifying images using restricted Boltzmann machines and convolutional neural networks

To improve the feature recognition ability of deep model transfer learning, we propose a hybrid deep transfer learning method for image classification based on restricted Boltzmann machines (RBM) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs). It integrates learning abilities of two models, which conducts subject classification by exacting structural higher-order statistics features of images. While the method transfers the trained convolutional neural networks to the target datasets, fully-connected layers can be replaced by restricted Boltzmann machine layers; then the restricted Boltzmann machine layers and Softmax classifier are retrained, and BP neural network can be used to fine-tuned the hybrid model. The restricted Boltzmann machine layers has not only fully integrated the whole feature maps, but also learns the statistical features of target datasets in the view of the biggest logarithmic likelihood, thus removing the effects caused by the content differences between datasets. The experimental results show that the proposed method has improved the accuracy of image classification, outperforming other methods on Pascal VOC2007 and Caltech101 datasets.
The level of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from pork meat depending on the heat treatment applied

PAHs from pork meat, ham, shoulder and bacon were investigated, after different thermal processes were applied. The samples were subjected to boiling, roasting and curing processes. Phenanthrene had the highest value (35.76μg kg) in ham, when curing process was applied, while the lowest value (29.25 μg kg) was obtained when boiling process was applied. The same trend was observed for pork meat, ham and bacon. In bacon, benzo(a)pyrene had the highest value (0.67 μg kg) for curing process, followed by roasting (0.53 μg kg) and boiling (0.51 μg kg) process, respectively. By others PAHs (naphthalene, acenaphthene, flourene, anthracene, fluoranthene, pyrene, benzo(k)fluoranthene) the highest values were observed by curing process compared to roasting and boiling processes.
Acquiring Arabic Vocabularies Through Memorizing Al-Qur ’ an Mar ’ atus Sholehah

This research investigated acquiring Arabic vocabularies through memorizing al-Qur’an. The language of alQur’an is Arabic. It could not be changed until the end of this world. There are many memorizers al-Qur’an, the frequency in memorizing al-Qur’an for each person is different based on their Arabic ability or their motivation. From this case, the researcher interest to investigate their knowledge of every single word that they have memorized. Based on the background of the problem, the research purposes were used to answer these three questions, namely “How participants acquire Arabic Vocabularies through memorizing alQur’an? ”, “How parents’ role in improving participants’ Arabic vocabularies? ”, And “How Environment affect participants’ Arabic vocabularies? ”. There are three participants from the cluster VI were conducted in this research. This research was conducted with a single case study. To collect the data, the researcher used setting or nature condition, primary and secondary source data, and the most data that got from observation and interview. The steps of data collection are data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/ verification. Trustworthiness used in this study to make it reliable and valid. She drew the conclusion based on the findings and discussions; it can be concluded that there are two findings. The first, the participants were able to acquire the meaning of 64% words (5.680 words from 8.897 words) that they memorized. They acquire Arabic words through memorizing al-Qur’an with reading the texts more and more. Then, they always imagine the story that related with the surah’s context. The second, the participants’ parents have no role in affecting participants’ in acquiring Arabic vocabularies. The third finding, friends, and environments have a role in affecting participants’ in acquiring Arabic vocabularies. This research expected can be useful for all of the readers, especially for learners and next researchers who are interested to make research in same field namely SLA. I hope, the further researcher be better, more wonderful, and more complete in analyzing data.

DOI: 10.21276/sjm.2018. 3.2. 1 Abstract: FUO is an important medical problem worldwide, especially in the undeveloped countries like India. To have a structured, sensible and effective approach the clinician must have an understanding of the spectrum of disease and test characteristics of various diagnostic modalities available in the evaluation of FUO. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical and etiological profile of patients having classic FUO. It was a cross sectional study for one year duration from 1 st June 2013 to 31 st May 2014 and was performed in the Department of Medicine in I.G. M.C. Shimla. All the admitted Patients above 18 year of age and who fulfilled the Durack and Street criteria of FUO were included in the study. After initial history taking and physical examination, the patients were subjected to routine, serological & radiographic investigations. Data was entered using microsoft excel software and analyzed with the help of epi info v7. A total of 45 patients who admitted with FUO were included Mean age of the patients was 33 years and majority of the patients were in young age group of 18-40 years (76%). There was male preponderance (69%) and most of the patients were from rural background (71%). The mean duration of fever 46.6 days and mean duration of hospitalization was 14.4 days. Infections were responsible for 80% cases of FUO. These infections included tuberculosis (29%), enteric fever (17.5%), intra-abdominal abscesses (8.8%), chloroquine responsive fever (4.4%), brucellosis (7%), lieshmaniasis (4.4%), and UTI (2.2%). Non Infectious Inflammatory Disease (NIID) and neoplasms were were responsible for only 4.4% and 2.2% of cases, while 13.2% of the cases remained undiagnosed. Infections are the most important cause of fever of unknown origin in the developing countries like India and tuberculosis is the leading cause. Thus the initial investigations should always include tests for ruling out or confirming diagnosis of infectious disease.

PRELIMINARY EVALUATION OF THE FLAMMABILITY OF NATIVE AND ORNAMENTAL PLANTS WITH THE CONE CALORIMETER

INTRODUCTION As we continue to build more homes in the wildlands where forest and grassland fires occur, the need to find ways to reduce the resulting destruction of homes continues. The destruction of homes in these areas known as wildland/urban interface or intermix is a major fire problem in the United States. The 1995 fires in Long Island, New York, reminded us that such fires are not just a problem in California. The extensiveness of the destruction possible in wildland/urban interface fires has resulted in very large property losses.
A Pattern Matching Method and Algorithm for Face Detection

The paper presents a simple, original method, using supervised learning and pattern matching, for frontal-view face detection. The raw method and algorithms, their refinements and optimizations, the experimental system, and the obtained results are described incrementally. A pyramid of several simplified representations for faces, with gradual complexity and dimensionality from coarser to more detailed ones, has been defined. These representations were used as a basis for structuring and organizing the knowledge base as a kind of hash tree, as well as to optimize the developed algorithms and their processing time, by applying a sequence of filters with gradual computational complexity in cascade at detection. Appropriate metrics have been defined and used to evaluate the similarity between two finite sets of binary values, of the same dimension, with a minimum of computational effort in these filters. Various thresholds of passage were empirically chosen and adjusted. An experimental system was developed and used for learning and detection tests. Public image databases and private images have been employed, and quite promising results have been obtained. Finally, comparative parallels with some reference methods are discussed.
PV Asia Pacific Conference 2012 Microstructural Analysis of Crystal Defects Leading to Potential-Induced Degradation ( PID ) of Si Solar Cells

A monocrystalline Si solar cell with a low corrugation front side texture was processed to a mini module and has been stressed under potential-induced degradation (PID) conditions. Subsequently, a sample delaminated from PIDaffected area has been prepared and investigated down to the microscale employing SEM/EBIC, ToF-SIMS depth profiles and TEM at defect structures. The electrical shunts resulting from PID are confirmed to be locally distinct and coincide with Na aggregations in the antireflective coating (ARC). Moreover, by means of EBIC and TEM measurements these shunts are found to be spatially associated to structural defects within the silicon crystal. © 2013 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Effects of different levels of Farmax ® nano fertilizer and foliar spraying time on growth and effective substance of German chamomile ( Matricaria recutita )

In this research, the effect of foliar spraying times and different levels of Farmax nano fertilizer on morphological characteristic and dry and fresh flower yield, essential oil and chamazulene percentage of chamomile (Matricaria recutita L.) CV. Bodegold was studied. The experiment was factorial in the bacic of randomized complete blocked design (RCBD) with eight treatment and four replications. The treatments included four amounts of nano fertilizer (0, 1, 3 and 5ml\l) as first factor and two foliar spraying times (tiller stage and 2 after weeks) as second factor. The results indicated that foliar spraying time had a significant effect on plant height, numbers of tiller, total fresh weight plant and dry flower yield. Different of levels Farmax nano fertilizer had significant effect on majority characteristic. The interaction effect had significant effect on height plant and root and dry flower yield. So, maximum height plant (103.5cm) and dry flower yield (174.38g/m2) were obtained at 2 foliar spraying times and 3ml/l nano fertilizer concentration and maximum height root was obtained at one foliar spraying times and 5 ml/l nano fertilizer concentration, but 2 foliar spraying times and 3ml/l nano fertilizer concentration treatment to be increased on the most of the characteristic especially essential oil percent (0.753 weight percent) but do not have effect significant. The total results showed that 2 foliar sparing times and 3 ml/l nano fertilizer concentration was the best of treatment.
INELASTIC SEISMIC PERFORMANCE OF RC TALL PIERS WITH HOLLOW SECTION

The flexural and shear behaviors of rectangular hollow reinforced concrete columns under earthquakes were investigated. Since it is difficult to confine the web parts of hollow sections effectively and the thinner web causes the deterioration of concrete shear resistance, the behavior in the ultimate state becomes complicated. In this study, seven hollow columns were subjected to constant axial load and cyclic horizontal displacements. In these tests, it was observed that even in the specimen of flexural failure the flexural cracks in the flange part changed into shear diagonal cracks once they progressed in the web part. This result shows that the influence of shear deformation cannot be neglected in hollow reinforced concrete piers. Then to assess the seismic performance, the pseudo dynamic test was carried out. Although the hysteresis response was stable and the pier can dissipate energy under the earthquake, the behavior might become complicated by random loading process. Therefore it is necessary to establish the rational design method taking into account the deterioration of flexural and shear resistance due to the loading process of earthquakes.
