A generalized mean-field model of the natural and high-frequency actuated flow around a high-lift configuration

A low-dimensional Galerkin model is proposed for the flow around a high-lift configuration, describing natural vortex shedding, the high-frequency actuated flow with increased lift and transients between both states. The form of the dynamical system has been derived from a generalized mean-field consideration. Steady state and transient URANS (unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes) simulation data are employed to derive the expansion modes and to calibrate the system parameters. The model identifies the mean field as the mediator between the high-frequency actuation and the low-frequency natural shedding instability.
Development of diatom indicators of ecological conditions for streams of the western US

Abstract The species composition of benthic diatoms was related to environmental conditions in streams throughout the western US to develop diatom traits, indicators for assessment of biological condition and indicators for diagnosing stressors. We hypothesized that indicators based on species traits determined for subsets of streams with similar natural landscape features would be more precisely related to environmental conditions than would be indicators calculated based on species traits for all streams in the data set. The ranges of many environmental conditions were wide among western streams, and these conditions covaried greatly along a major environmental gradient characterized by positive correlations among % watershed disturbed by agricultural and urban land uses (% WD), conductivity, total N, total P, and % fine sediments. Species traits were calculated for 242 diatom taxa. Weighted average (WA) methods were used to define species environmental optima, and regression approaches were used to determine whether species were sensitive or tolerant to environmental conditions indicated by % WD, total P, total N, a nutrient multivariate index, pH, conductivity, % fine sediments, % embeddedness, and a watershed disturbance multivariate index. Indicators based on WA optima and sensitive/tolerant traits were highly correlated with these environmental conditions. Natural and anthropogenic conditions varied greatly among classes of streams grouped by climate regions, but indicators developed for the entire western US were consistently more accurate than were regional indicators. Indicators for individual stressors, such as total P, conductivity, and % embeddedness, were highly correlated with values of respective stressors, but covariation among all indicators and stressors indicated that only 1 environmental gradient was reliably reflected by the indicators. Thus, robust indicators of the biological condition of diatom assemblages were developed for streams of the western US, but development of stressor-specific indicators will require application of additional analytical approaches.
Detection of uropathogenic Escherichia coli virulence factors in patients with urinary tract infections in Iran

Besides all human infectious diseases, urinary tract infections have a high prevalence and in the majority of cases Escherichia coli is a dominance bacterium which can cause pyelonephritis and cystitis. In this present study, a total of 123 strains of E. coli isolated from patients with urinary tract infections were tested in a polymerase chain reaction for detection of E. coli’s virulence factors. Results showed that fimH gene with 79.67% had the highest and tsh and usp genes respectively with 0.0% and 1.62% had the lowest presence rates of virulence genes in E. coli isolated from patients with urinary tract infections. Also the presence of cnf1, hlyA, pap, iroN, afa, iuc, iha, ompT and irp2virulence genes were 50.4, 50.4, 50.4, 42.27, 8.13, 10.56, 17.88, 4.87 and 11.38%, respectively. The significant differences (P<0.05) were seen between presence of cnf1, hlyA, pap with ompT and afa virulence genes. So, results indicated the high presence of virulence genes in patients with urinary tract infections in Iran. Key words: Uropathogenic Escherichia coli, Virulence genes, PCR, Iran.
Development of texture and seismic anisotropy during the onset of subduction

How reliable are shear wave splitting measurements as a means of determining mantle flow direction? This remains a topic of debate, especially in the context of subduction. The answer hinges on whether our current understanding of mineral physics provides enough to accurately translate between seismic observations and mantle deformation. Here, we present an integrated model to simulate strain‐history‐dependent texture development and estimate resulting shear wave splitting in subduction environments. We do this for a mantle flow model that, in its geometry, approximates the double‐sided Molucca Sea subduction system in Eastern Indonesia. We test a single‐sided and a double‐sided subduction case. Results are compared to recent splitting measurements of this region by Di Leo et al. (2012a). The setting lends itself as a case study, because it is fairly young and, therefore, early textures from the slab's descent from the near surface to the bottom of the mantle transition zone—which we simulate in our models—have not yet been overprinted by subsequent continuous steady state flow. Second, it allows us to test the significance of the double‐sided geometry, i.e., the need for a rear barrier to achieve trench‐parallel subslab mantle flow. We demonstrate that although a barrier amplifies trench‐parallel subslab anisotropy due to mantle flow, it is not necessary to produce trench‐parallel fast directions per se. In a simple model of A‐type olivine lattice‐preferred orientation and one‐sided subduction, trench‐parallel fast directions are produced by a combination of simple shear and extension through compression and pure shear in the subslab mantle.
Impact of boundary layer flow velocity on oxygen utilisation in coastal sediments

Small pressure gradients generated by boundary flow-topography interactions cause advective pore water flows in permeable sediments. Advective pore water exchange enhances the flux of solutes between the sediment and the overlying water, thus generating conditions for an increased utilisation of oxygen. We compared a less permeable (k = 5 X 10-l2 m2) with a permeable sediment (k = 5 X 10-" m') typical for coastal and shelf sediments. Total oxygen utilisation (TOU) in incubated sediment cores was measured in 10 laboratory experiments using recirculating flow tanks (33 runs). TOU was a function of flow velocity in permeable sediment where advective pore water flow occurred. TOU increased with the increasing volume of sediment flushed with oxygenated water. We found that TOU increased by 91 2 23% in coarse sand when flow increased from 3 to 14 cm S-' (38 mounds m-', height 10 to 30 mm, flow measured 8 cm above the sediment). Additlon of fresh algal material caused a stronger stimulation of TOU in the coarse sand than in the fine sand (4 additional flume runs). After the addition, intensive oxygen consumption reduced the oxygen penetration depth in the advectively flushed zone of the coarse sediment. However, counteracting this process, advectlve flow maintained an oxic sediment volume still larger than that in the less permeable sediment. Flow-enhanced oxygen utilisation is potentially effective in permeable beds of coastal and shelf regions, in contrast to the situation in cohesive sediments limited by predominantly diffusive oxygen supply.
Control Design for Discrete-Time Fuzzy Systems with Disturbance Inputs via Delta Operator Approach

This paper is concerned with the problem of passive control design for discrete-time Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems with time delay and disturbance input via delta operator approach. The discrete-time passive performance index is established in this paper for the control design problem. By constructing a new type ofLyapunov-Krasovskii function (LKF) in delta domain, and utilizing some fuzzy weighing matrices, a new passive performance condition is proposed for the system under consideration. Based on the condition, a state-feedback passive controller is designed to guarantee that the resulting closed-loop system is very-strictly passive. The existence conditions of the controller can be expressed by linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.
Studies on Pseudomonas and Trichoderma-Mediated Root Exudation Pattern in Chickpea against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Ciceris

Plant growth-promoting microbes are known for protection of plants against a number of phytopathogens. In the present study, we used Pseudomonas fluorescens OKC and Trichoderma asperellum T42 singly as well as in combination in chickpea (Cicer arietinum) under challenge of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris (Foc). Two cultivars of chickpea were used, viz., L550 susceptible to Foc and Avarodhi resistant to Foc. Root exudates obtained from the two cultivars of chickpea were analyzed and showed higher amount of Total Phenolic Content (TPC) accumulated in the microbe-treated plants compared to microbe un-treated control. Maximum phenolic content was observed in exudates of OKC treated plants in both cultivars. Interestingly, in OKC treated plants, TPC was higher in the exudates of the susceptible cultivar L550 compared to the resistant cultivar Avrodhi. Gallic acid content in the exudates also confirmed the pattern of TPC in the treatments. Wilting due to Foc was significantly reduced in the OKC and T42 treated plants compared to the untreated plants and thereby showed a positive correlation between TPC in exudates and reduction in Fusarium wilt. Higher TPC in the susceptible cultivar compared to the resistant cultivar clearly indicates the roles of OKC and T42 in reducing the wilt symptom whereas no wilting in the resistant cultivar may be explained due to genetic factor. High total chlorophyll content in the OKC and T42 treated plants of L550 also show the role of the microbes in maintaining a good health of the Foc challenged
Improving English Learners' Productive Collocation Knowledge: The Effects of Involvement Load, Spacing, and Intentionality.

This article reports on a classroom-based experiment that tested the effects of threevocabulary teaching constructs (involvement load, spacing, and intentionality)on the learning of English verb-noun collocations—for example, “shelve a plan. ”Laufer and Hulstijn’s (2001) “involvement load” predicts that the higher themotivational-cognitive load of a task, the more effectively it promotes word retention. “Spacing” refers to the advantage of spreading out learning opportunitiesfor words as opposed to massing them. “Intentionality” comprises two word processingmodes: intentional learning (posttest announced) and incidental learning(posttest unannounced), where the former is claimed to outperform the latter.The constructs were integrated into an intervention study with 59 adolescent L1Swedish learners of English in within- and between-subjects designs. Learnersprocessed target items three times when performing tasks that operationalized theconstructs. Three posttests of productive knowledge of target items were administered.Statistical analyses of gain scores show that neither involvement load norspacing had a significant positive impact on learning gains. Significant effectswere found on three measures for intentional learning when compared to incidentallearning. The findings are discussed in relation to previous research and theirimplications for English language teaching (ELT). Cet article rend compte d’une experience basee en salle de classe et qui evalueles effets de trois concepts pedagogiques en enseignement du vocabulaire (charged’implication, espacement et intentionnalite) sur l’apprentissage d’expressions figeesen anglais consistant d’un verbe et d’un nom. La « charge d’implication » deLaufer et Hulstijn (2001) predit que plus la charge motivationnelle et cognitived’une tâche est elevee, plus elle favorise la retention des mots. « L’espacement »fait reference a l’avantage de repartir les occasions d’apprentissage des mots plutotque de les rassembler. « L’intentionnalite » comprend deux modes de traitementdes mots: l’apprentissage intentionnel (post-test annonce) et l’apprentissage accidentel(post-test pas annonce), le premier supposement donnant de meilleursresultats que le second. Ces concepts ont ete integres dans une etude d’interventionimpliquant 59 adolescents suedois qui apprenaient l’anglais et suivant un modele amesures repetees et un modele inter-sujets. Les participants ont traite des elementscibles trois fois en accomplissant des tâches qui operationnalisaient les concepts.Trois post-test portant sur des connaissances productives des elements cibles ont eulieu. Des analyses statistiques des notes ont indique que ni la charge d’implicationni l’espacement n’avaient eu un impact positif significatif sur les notes. Trois mesures de l’apprentissage intentionnel compare a l’apprentissage accidentel ont revele des effets significatifs. Nous discutons des resultats par rapport a la recherche anterieure et en fonction de leurs incidences sur l’enseignement de l’anglais.
STUDY OF OVIPOSITION BEHAVIOR OF Aedes aegypti IN TWO NEIGHBORHOODS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF SEMI-ARID CLIMATE IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF SALINAS, STATE OF MINAS GERAIS, BRAZIL

The mosquito Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) is the main vector of human arborvirus in Brazil. Oviposition behavior is important for the survival and dispersal of A. aegypti. The objective of this study was to evaluate the oviposition behavior and its relationship to meteorological factors. Twenty ovitraps were installed in two neighborhoods in the urban area of the city of Salinas, MG, southeastern Brazil. The traps were inspected weekly for the presence of eggs in the water and on the paddle. Simultaneously, regional weather data were analyzed. The results showed the Ovitrap Positivity Index (OPI) varied greatly, from 0 to 90%, between the weeks and boroughs sampled, demonstrating the vector’s great population fluctuation. Among the analyzed climatic factors, rainfall strongly influenced oviposition, followed by relative air humidity. The number of eggs found on the paddle was significantly higher than in the water (p<0.05). However, a significant increase of eggs in the water was noticed when the relative humidity dropped below 40%. This seems to be an important behavior to maintain the population in periods of drought. Through the low number of eggs (<30) found in 56% of positive traps, we concluded that skip-oviposition behavior occurred, contributing to the prevalence of mosquitoes during the sampled period. It is concluded that the occurrence of water oviposition may be higher than described in the literature, and should be studied due to its evolutionary and epidemiological importance.
Winter wheat cultivars 'Kovas DS', 'Zunda DS', 'Vikaras DS', 'Kaskada DS' for high input farming: development and characterization.

The winter wheat cultivars ‘Kovas DS’, ‘Zunda DS’, ‘Kaskada DS’, and ‘Vikaras DS’ were developed at the Lithuanian Institute of Agriculture during 2000–2007, employing conventional and biotechnological methods. These cultivars were registered in the European Union Common Catalogue of Varieties of Agricultural Plant Species in 2010 and 2011. The cultivars are characterized by good winter-hardiness and lodging resistance, as well as high grain yield. The average winter-hardiness over the period 2006–2010 estimated in points was 7.9 of ‘Kovas DS’, 7.0 of ‘Zunda DS’, 6.8 of ‘Kaskada DS’, and 8.0 of ‘Vikaras DS’. The average stem height was 82, 96, 71 and 85 cm, respectively. The maturity of the cultivars ranged from medium to late. The grain yield of ‘Kovas DS’ was 7.5, ‘Zunda DS’ 6.7, ‘Kaskada DS’ 6.9, ‘Vikaras DS’ 6.8 t ha-1. The grain yield of the standard cultivar ‘Zentos’ was 6.6 t ha-1. All cultivars were medium resistant to powdery mildew, medium susceptible to take-all, except for medium resistant ‘Vikaras DS’, susceptible to eyespot and common bunt. ‘Zunda DS’ and ‘Vikaras DS’ were medium resistant, ‘Kovas DS’ and ‘Kaskada DS’ were medium susceptible to Septoria leaf blotch. ‘Zunda DS’ and ‘Vikaras DS’ were medium susceptible, ‘Kovas DS’ and ‘Kaskada DS’ were susceptible to tan spot. ‘Kovas DS’ and ‘Zunda DS’ were medium resistant, ‘Kaskada DS’ and ‘Vikaras DS’ were medium susceptible to snow mould. The protein content of ‘Kovas DS’, ‘Zunda DS’, ‘Kaskada DS’ and ‘Vikaras DS’ was 11.3, 11.9, 11.9, 10.9 %, gluten content 21.6, 22,7, 20.1, 20.6 %, sedimentation value 32.9, 38.3, 22.9, 33.6 ml, falling number index 337, 340, 348, and 372 s, respectively. All tested cultivars are characterized by medium grain quality and low amylase activity, which is important for cultivation in humid climate countries. The investigation of dough properties by a Brabender farinograph showed quality indexes of ‘Kovas DS’, ‘Zunda DS’, ‘Kaskada DS’ and ‘Vikaras DS’ to be 30.4, 35.0, 19.2, and 27.4 Brabender units, respectively. The bread volume, baked from a 250 g sample was: for ‘Kovas DS’ 1100, ‘Zunda DS’ 1180, ‘Kaskada DS’ 1220 and ‘Vikaras DS’ 1210 cm3 and the total baking value was 338, 368, 459 and 440, respectively. This suggests that the new high yielding cultivars are suitable for breadmaking and are of good or medium bread-making quality.
HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT OF TEACHER EDUCATORS IN COLLEGES OF EDUCATION

This paper explores human resource as an integral force in a society. Though it has many faceted aims and objectives, the significant aim is to develop the human resource in schools and colleges. A country may have well-defined policy infrastructure facilities, well-equipped laboratories and libraries, but it can hardly achieve its educational goals unless it has committed teachers. In recent years considerable concern has been felt in the sphere of teacher education. Its role to develop the human resources in schools and colleges is greatly emphasized. Training needs can be aptly explained as the gap between the requirements for skills and knowledge inherent in the job and those possessed by the current jobholder. Teacher educators working in teacher education colleges need through training in their teaching skills and knowledge. From the findings of this paper it is observed that teacher educators irrespective of their age, gender, designation, subject specialization have shown their bent of mind about the need for training in their profession. So in order to gear up their potential abilities in the field of their workplace, intensive training through refresher and orientation courses is the need of the hour.

Two in One Outbreak of Rubeola-Rubella in Tobacco Affected Maan Vajreshwari Nagarkot Dham-District Kangra of Northern Himanchal

Background: A local community leader informed us about sudden increase in number of cases of fever and rash in five villages of district Kangra on 14th September 2006,. We investigated the suspected outbreak to confirm diagnosis and recommend for prevention and control. Methods: A case of rubeola was defined as occurrence of fever with rash in a child between from 3rd September to13th January, 2007. We collected information on age, sex, date of onset, residence, signs, symptoms, vaccination and cold chain and smoking status. We described the outbreak by place, time and person characteristics. We conducted a retrospective cohort study to estimate vaccine efficacy. We ascertained the measles immunization status by interviewing the mothers and reviewing immunization cards. We confirmed diagnosis clinically, epidemiologically and serologically. Results: Sixty case patients were identified in five villages (41/60 rubeola and 11/60 confirmed epidemiologically linked unvaccinated rubella). The overall attack rate (AR) was 9%. Sex specific AR was 11% for male. Majorities of cases were >5years of age. No death/minimal complications occurred. Of 60 case-patients, 42 (70%) were vaccinated for rubeola. The AR of rubeola among unvaccinated children was 25.8% as compared to AR among vaccinated of 4.5% (Relative risk: 5.75%; 95% confidence interval: 3.48–9.51 P <0.001). We estimated general vaccine efficacy (VE) to be 83% while gender based VE for male was 84%. Eight case-patients were confirmed serologically for measles IgM antibodies, two nasopharyngeal swabs positive by PCR. Rubeola virus was genotyped D4. Only 30% (18/60) of the cases took the treatment from modern system of medicine. Conclusion: A mixed outbreak of rubeola/rubella was confirmed clinically, epidemiologically and serologically. We recommend MR vaccination at the age of 18-24 months and aggressive IEC activities to modify help seeking behavior of community, especially in the measles affected areas. Key Message: In the outbreak setting, two viruses’- rubeola and rubella were investigated simultaneously in the district Kangra of Northern India in highly immunized mountainous area for rubeola but unvaccinated for rubella. The single virus of rubella has been investigated in 2006 and officially documented in the state of Himachal Pradesh. The attack rate was highest in older age group warranting the need for MR vaccination.
