Assessment of Feed Resource Availability and Quality in Kedida Gamela District, Southern Ethiopia

Availability of major livestock feed resources, their chemical composition and balance between available feed resources and requirements of existing tropical livestock units (TLU) in Kedida Gamela district (Southern Ethiopia) were assessed. A survey was conducted on 100 sample households (HH) and data collected using group discussions, structured questionnaire and personal observations. Furthermore, chemical composition and in vitro dry matter (DM) digestibility (IVDMD) of major feed resources identified (natural pasture and crop residues) were also determined. A total of 28,675 tonnes of DM were produced annually for a total of 40,080 TLU which satisfies only 31.4% of their maintenance requirement. Maize stover and wheat straw contain lowest ash and from agro-industrial by-products noug cake and wheat bran the highest ash content. The highest (p0.05) between the agro-industrial by-products. The highest acid detergent lignin content for roughage feed was recorded from maize stover to natural pasture and the highest from agro-industrial by-products was recorded from wheat bran to noug cake. Differences in IVDMD for major feed resources were not significant (P>0.05). The differences in nutrient composition and IVDMD of the feed resources in midland and highland followed similar trend, although there were slight differences in nutrient content and IVDMD of similar feedstuffs from the two altitudinal zones. In conclusion, the main feed resource is crop residues which are of low quality with high fiber content, low digestibility which may result in reduced livestock productivity and disease resistance. Chopping followed by soaking or ammonaition or urea treatment could be suggested to improve quality of the roughages.
A numerical model for the entire Wadden Sea: Skill assessment and analysis of hydrodynamics

A baroclinic three-dimensional numerical model for the entire Wadden Sea of the German Bight in the southern North Sea is first assessed by comparison to field data for surface elevation, current velocity, temperature, and salinity at selected stations and then used to calculate fluxes of volume and salt inside the Wadden Sea and the exchange between the Wadden Sea and the adjacent North Sea through the major tidal inlets. The model is simulating the reference years 2009–2011. An overview of tidal prisms and residual volume fluxes of the main inlets and their variability is given. In addition, data from an intensive observational campaign in a tidal channel south of the island of Spiekeroog as well as satellite images and observations of sea surface properties from a ship of opportunity are used for the skill assessment. Finally, the intensity of estuarine overturning circulation and its variability in the tidal gullies are quantified and analyzed as function of gravitational and wind straining using various estimates including Total Exchange Flow (TEF). Regional differences between the gullies are assessed and drivers of the estuarine circulation are identified. For some inlets, the longitudinal buoyancy gradient dominates the exchange flow, for some others wind straining is more important. Also the intensity of tidal straining (scaled covariance of eddy viscosity and vertical shear) depends on buoyancy gradient and wind forcing in different ways, depending on local topography, orientation toward the main wind direction, and influence by freshwater run off inside or outside the tidal basin.
Strategies Used by Jordanian University Students’ in Dealing with New Vocabulary in English

In an effort to provide the literature with additional insight on how the learners meet the obstacles of understanding new vocabulary which they face in reading English texts, the present study tried to identify the strategies used by Al-Huson University Collage students’ in dealing with new vocabulary in English. Furthermore, the researcher examined the effect of gender and the academic major on the participants choice of the strategies that they tend to use when they meet new vocabulary while they read English texts. The results showed that the participants tend to look up every new vocabulary or try to ask about it as the most frequent strategies. And guessing came next. Skipping came last between the three strategies under study. Both gender and the academic major do not have a significant effect on the participants choice of strategy. Keywords: Strategies, Learning Strategies, Vocabulary Learning, English as a Foreign language.
EVALUATION OF RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN JOB SATISFACTION IN HOSPITALS AND PERCEPTION OF VIOLENT BEHAVIORS AGAINST HEALTH WORKERS

Purpose of this study is to determine health workers’ perception of job satisfaction and violent behaviors against them and to evaluate job satisfaction in terms of demographic variables and violent behaviors at hospitals. This cross sectional and descriptive study is carried out on health workers who works in hospitals. 86.1% health workers are worry about experiencing violent behaviors at hospital and 66.1% of them experienced violent behavior at least once while they were working at hospital. When health workers’ job satisfaction is averagely analyzed; expectations and payment-award system are at low level, work itself-rules, management and general job satisfaction are at intermediate level. There is a statistically meaningful difference between sexuality, education, seniority, institution, watching at night, feeling anxiety about workplace violence, experiencing violent behaviors and their job satisfaction points. Health workers’ job satiscaftion changes according to demographic variables and perception of violent behaviors against them at hospitals.
A New Name for the Hawaiian Antipatharian Coral Formerly Known as Antipathes dichotoma (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Antipatharia)1

Abstract: A Hawaiian species of antipatharian coral previously identified as Antipathes dichotoma Pallas, 1766, is described as Antipathes griggi Opresko, n. sp. The species forms tall, bushy colonies with elongate, upright terminal branches, often arranged uniserially. Spines are conical, mostly 0.20 to 0.26 mm tall, apically bifurcated, multilobed to jagged in appearance, and covered over most of their surface with small roundish to elongate papillae. Minute secondary spines may occur on some of the thicker branches. Polyps are 1 to 1.6 mm in transverse diameter. The species resembles A. fruticosa Gray in branching pattern, size of spines, and presence of secondary spines but differs in morphology and density of the spines (thicker, more crowded primary spines and fewer secondary spines in A. griggi). Other related species differ from A. griggi in having more widely spreading and irregularly arranged branches, no secondary spines, and either smaller spines with fewer apical lobes (A. curvata van Pesch, A. arborea Dana, and A. galapagensis Deichmann) or larger spines with the apical lobes arranged in a somewhat coronate pattern [A. spinulosa (Schultze) and A. lentipinna Brook].
Seasonal Storage of Distant Industrial Excess Heat for District Heating

Large parts of district heating used in Gothenburg originates from excess heat generated from industries near the city. There is potential to utilise more excess heat in Gothenburg from distant industries. This will however require a connecting pipeline of considerable length with high investment cost. This thesis investigates whether the economical benefits of such a pipeline can be increased by installing an additional borehole thermal energy storage (BTES) and an electricity driven heat pump. Investigations have been made for two locations, western Gothenburg and Kungälv. The behaviour of the BTES has been analysed with the Duct Storage Model using the software PILESIM 2. The district heating system has been simulated with the software Martes. Simulation data including prices of fuels, taxes and political instruments used for this study are based on the forecasts of the local district heating company, Göteborg Energi AB. The investment cost of the BTES is based on previously performed master thesis project at Göteborg Energi AB. The results indicate that the potential to make profits from the proposed BTES and the heat pump system under the prescribed project restrictions is rather poor, especially for Kungälv. Western Gothenburg qualifies as an better location from an economical point of view. The COP of the heat pump and electricity price have large impact on the economical results. The choice of interest rate also has a large influence on the economical feasibility of the project.
Employment and value-added contribution of Slovenian high-growth companies (gazelles)

High-growth companies, gazelles, are responsible for stimulating economic growth and development through extreme growth rates (employment, income, assets, value-added etc.). Consequently, exploring highgrowth companies may offer valuable insights into promoting dynamic entrepreneurship in contemporary society. In this paper, we are examining high-growth companies and their socio-economic contribution through a company's size, because the size dimension is an important characteristic affecting the level of employment and making important contributions to employment growth. Based on the national ranking of the 500 fastest-growing companies, based on the income statement data (sales growth in the 5-year period), we compare the gazelles with the average of all Slovenian companies. The findings provide evidence of the gazelles' considerable contribution to employment and the creation of an added (new) value. Company growth can also be measured on the basis of other parameters and therefore, in one part of our analysis, we limit the use of the measures to the relative employment growth - the DaBeg index. The results have shown that the growth patterns among the companies are very heterogeneous and that innovative fast-growing companies make a valuable socio-economic contribution. As such, gazelles require effective supportive measures of government policies, aimed at encouraging and promoting growth-oriented entrepreneurship.
Dairy Farms without Quotas: Simulations Based on a Multi-output Multi-input Cost Function

This paper evaluates the farm level supply and income effects from removing milk quotas and reducing producer prices with increasing direct compensatory payments. Using a panel of Belgian dairy farms, we first estimate long-run flexible multioutput multi-input marginal cost curves for each farm of the sample. Second, we embed each estimated long-run farm cost function in the objective function of a profit maximisation programming model built for each farm of the sample. Simulations show that, without quotas, aggregated milk supply and farm gross margin increase by 18 per cent and 37 per cent respectively from their reference level. A 20 per cent decline in producer prices and a compensation rate set at 30 per cent of the price decline maintain the aggregated milk supply and farm gross margin at their reference level. Dairy farms adjust differently to change in prices and compensation rates.
Preliminary Review on Solvation Chemistry in Aqueous Solvents: Application to Amino Acids

The present review deals with a literature survey on the amino acids solvation chemistry in aqueous solvent systems. The present study gives an idea about the classification of solvents, solvation thermodynamics of amino acids in aqueous solvent system and deals with detail aims and objectives of some works for amino acids solvation chemistry in aqua-organic solvent systems.
Corruption and Economic Growth: A South Korean Study

Using a vector autoregressive model (VAR) with 42 years of South Korean annual data, we empirically investigate two possible links between corruption and economic growth. Even though we find negative correlations between corruption and other growth variables such as private investment, we do not find any strong empirical evidence supporting negative correlations between corruption and economic growth. Our results are similar to previous empirical findings and seem to be another empirical mismatch between micro and macro level data.
Method of Resolution Participatory and Creative Problem . A different approach to art teaching in the subject of

The teaching methods of the subjects related to the artistic areas of the basic teaching in Portugal have been developed with the purpose of exploring new approaches of this dimension. The communication proposal presented in this essay frames on the theme: Childhood and Education: Project and Projects. So, we intend to start upon a real context, the second term of the basic teaching, in which we try to develop Excellence Practices of artistic and technologic teaching and learning, in a rural school of Alto Minho, belonging to the district of Braga. This teaching method starts in the problems solution process (MRP), in which we explore contents, competencies and goals in the sphere of the Art subject (EVT). So, in this context, we can infer that the MRP does not run out, since it is participative, on one hand, because it demands the child extend his amount of ideas through cooperation with his colleagues. On the other hand, the process we are referring to is creative, once this construction appears in a controlled environment (the classroom), without any kind of threat, where the child has also the possibility to try an enormous combination of learning situations. This intervention project emphasize the drawing importance, the written narrative and conceptual schemes, constructed by the child as plural ways of representation and communication of an idea together with the real nature of plastic expression.
RoboPol: connection between optical polarization plane rotations and gamma-ray flares in blazars

We use results of our 3 yr polarimetric monitoring programme to investigate the previously suggested connection between rotations of the polarization plane in the optical emission of blazars and their gamma-ray flares in the GeV band. The homogeneous set of 40 rotation events in 24 sources detected by RoboPol is analysed together with the gamma-ray data provided by Fermi-LAT. We confirm that polarization plane rotations are indeed related to the closest gamma-ray flares in blazars and the time lags between these events are consistent with zero. Amplitudes of the rotations are anticorrelated with amplitudes of the gamma-ray flares. This is presumably caused by higher relativistic boosting (higher Doppler factors) in blazars that exhibit smaller amplitude polarization plane rotations. Moreover, the time-scales of rotations and flares are marginally correlated.
Disease and immunity in Caribbean and Indo-Pacific zooxanthellate corals

Since the mid-1990s, coral diseases have increased in number, species affected, and geographic extent. To date, 18 coral diseases, affecting at least 150 scleractinian, gorgonian, and hydrozoan zooxanthellate species, have been described from the Caribbean and the Indo-Pacific. These diseases are associated with pathogens including bacteria, cyanobacteria, fungi, and protists and with abiotic stressors including elevated seawater temperature, sedimentation, eutrophication, and pollution. Etiologies of only 5 of the 18 coral diseases have been determined through fulfillment of Koch's postulates. Corals and other invertebrates utilize innate immune mechanisms including physiochemical barriers and cellular and humoral defenses against pathogens. Here we review the described coral diseases, known etiologies, and efforts to determine unknown etiologies. We define disease terms, discuss the limitations of Koch's postulates, describe alternative techniques for identifying disease-causing organisms, and review coral immunology.
A PGC1-\(\alpha\)-dependent Myokine that Drives Brown-fat-like Development of White Fat and Thermogenesis

Exercise benefits a variety of organ systems in mammals, and some of the best-recognized effects of exercise on muscle are mediated by the transcriptional coactivator PGC1 α Here we show that PGC1 α expression in muscle stimulates an increase in expression of Fndc5, a membrane protein that is cleaved and secreted as a new hormone, irisin. Irisin acts on white adipose cells in culture and in vivo to stimulate UCP1 expression and a broad program of brown fat-like development. Irisin is induced with exercise in mice and humans, and mildly increased irisin levels in blood cause an increase in energy expenditure in mice with no changes in movement or food intake. This results in improvements in obesity and glucose homeostasis. Irisin could be a protein therapeutic for human metabolic disease and other disorders that are improved with exercise. into or Similar results were obtained with the
Studies on genetic variability in Black gram (Vigna mungo L. Hepper) germplasm

The present investigation was conducted during kharif-2014 in the Field Experimentation Centre of the Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding to examine 36 black gram genotypes along with one check (SHEKHAR-2) to study Genetic variability, correlation and path analysis for yield in black gram. The experiment was laid out in an in Randomize Block Design with three replications. Analysis of variance showed highly significant differences among 36 genotypes of black gram for 13 characters studied. Moderate genotypic coefficient of variation and phenotypic coefficient of variation was recorded for number of clusters per plant, primary branches per plant and seed yield per plant. All characters showed High broad-sense heritability and high genetic advance as percent of mean was recorded for seed yield per plant and plant height.
Physico-Chemical Water Quality Assessment of Gilgel Abay River in the Lake Tana Basin, Ethiopia

The physico-chemical parameters such as PH, temperature, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solid, turbidity, total alkalinity, total hardness, ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, sulphate, sulfide and iron were investigated to assess the various water quality parameters along the River course of Gilgel Abay River (GAR). The value of those parameters have been evaluated with respect to guidelines provided by World Health Organization(WHO), Ethiopian drinking water quality standards(EDWQS), Canadian Council of Minister for Environment(CCME) and European Community(EC) to indicate the pollution level of GAR. Overall compliance was 58.93%. From a total of 224 samples, 132 samples (58.93%) complied with WHO guidelines and EDWQS. Turbidity, followed by iron, phosphate and sulfide were the prime river water quality issues identified in GAR. Analysis of variance was used to examine the variations of water quality parameters between the dry and rainy seasons, and the variations along the river courses of Gilgel Abay (upper, middle and lower course). The majority of the parameters showed that there is a significant variation of the water quality parameters between the dry and rainy seasons. However, the variations along the river courses of GAR (upper, middle and lower course) were statistically insignificant. This implies that the GAR water quality is influenced by anthropogenic impacts from the upper course to the lower course of the River.

Effect of Stage of Ripening on Mechanical Damage in Tomato Fruits

Mechanical damage is the major cause of postharvest losses and among the perishable crops tomato is susceptible to mechanical injury considrably. By conducting a series of impact tests (from 0.18 to 2.88 J) by a pendulum impact apparatus, occurance of damage, in the form of rupture and latent damage, were investigated as affected by stages of ripening (pink, ripening, maturity and Plasmolism) and variety (Super Bta and Petoerly-ch). According to the results at any treatment of variety and stage of ripeness, falling of tomatoes from maximum height of 59 cm does not occure any rupture in fruit, causes injury in tomatos as degradation as a kind of latent damage. However, the minimum energy required for rupture injury was about 1.58 J and 0.84 J in first and third stages of ripenening, respectively. According to the results of ANOVA, there are no differences between two varieties based on rupture injury, whereas, impact energy and especially stage of ripeness had significant effect on all types of mechanical damage in tomato fruit. Also, the results showed that the severity and rate of latent damage increase progressively, through 24 to 72 hours of storage of fruits in natural conditions. Ripenenning stage is the major factor affect severity of latent damage through 72 hours after impact.
Overflow of cold water across the Iceland–Faroe Ridge through the Western Valley

Abstract. The Iceland–Faroe Ridge (IFR) is considered to be the third most important passage for dense overflow water from the Nordic Seas feeding into the lower limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation with a volume transport on the order of 1 Sv (106 m3 s−1). The Western Valley, which is the northernmost deep passage across the IFR, has been presumed to supply a strong and persistent overflow (WV-overflow), contributing a large fraction of the total overflow across the IFR. However, prolonged measurements of this transport are so far missing. In order to quantify the flow by direct measurements, three instrumental packages were deployed close to the sill of the Western Valley for 278 days (2016–2017) including an acoustic Doppler current profiler at the expected location of the overflow core. The average volume transport of WV-overflow during this field experiment was found to be (0.02±0.05) Sv. Aided by the observations and a two-layer hydraulic model, we argue that the reason for this low value is the inflow of warm Atlantic water to the Norwegian Sea in the upper layers suppressing the deep overflow. The link between deep and surface flows explains an observed relationship between overflow and sea level slope as measured by satellite altimetry. This relationship, combined with historical hydrographic measurements, allows us to conclude that the volume transport of WV-overflow most likely has been less than 0.1 Sv on average since the beginning of regular satellite altimetry in 1993. Our new direct measurements do not allow us to present an updated estimate of the total overflow across the IFR, but they indicate that it may well be considerably less than 1 Sv.
Potential Utilization of Solid Waste (Bagasse Ash)

Utilization of industrial and agricultural waste products in the industry has been the focus of research for economical, environmental, and technical reasons. Sugar-cane bagasse is a fibrous waste-product of the sugar refining industry, along with ethanol vapor. This waste-product is already causing serious environmental pollution which calls for urgent ways of handling the waste. In this paper, Bagasse ash has been chemically and physically characterized, in order to evaluate the possibility of their use in the industry. X-ray diffractometry determination of composition and presence of crystalline material, scanning electron microscopy/EDAX examination of morphology of particles, as well as physical properties and refractoriness of bagasse ash has been studied.
