Paper‐Based Electrochromic Devices Enabled by Nanocellulose‐Coated Substrates

As environmental considerations for both the processing and disposal of electronic devices become increasingly important, the ability to replace plastic and glass substrates with bioderived and biodegradable materials remains a major technological goal. Here, the use of cellulose nanofiber‐coated paper is explored as an environmentally benign substrate for preparing low‐resistance (460 Ω sq−1), colorless (a* = −2.3, b* = −2.7) printed poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) electrodes. The PEDOT:PSS/paper electrodes support the reversible oxidation of three electrochromic polymers (ECPs) (cyan, magenta, and yellow), affording the possibility for fully printed, color displays on paper. Lateral electrochromic devices (ECDs) incorporating an ion gel electrolyte are demonstrated where a magenta‐to‐colorless device achieves a color contrast (ΔE*) of 56 owing to a highly color‐neutral bleached state of the ECP (a* = −0.5, b* = 2.9). Black‐to‐colorless devices achieve ΔE* = 29 and are able to retain 86% of their color contrast after 9000 switches. The switching times of these lateral devices are quantified through colorimetric image analysis which shows comparable performance for devices constructed on paper as devices using ITO/glass electrodes (10 Ω sq−1). The paper ECDs are then combusted in air leaving 3% of the initial mass at 600 °C, highlighting this approach as a promising route toward disposable displays.
EFFECT OF DIETARY ZINC AND MANGANESE CHELATED WITH TRYPTOPHAN AND PROTEIN ON GROWTH PERFORMANCE AND CARCASS TRAITS OF QUAIL

The objective of this study was to determine the optimal dietary chelate of zinc and manganese on the growth performance, blood profile and carcass characteristic. A total number of 1050 unsexed quail chicks aged 7 days and averaged 23.7g body weight were divided randomly into five groups (210 birds each), each group was subdivided into three replicates, each with 70 birds. Birds were kept under the same administrative, healthy and environmental conditions The five treatment groups were fed as follows: The 1st group of birds was fed basal diet and served as control (T1), birds of the 2nd and 3rd groups were fed the same basal diet supplemented with 100 mg zinc tryptophan chelate (T2) and 100 mg zinc proteinate chelate (T3). While birds from the 4th and 5th groups were fed the same diets of control diet supplemented with 100 mg manganese tryptophan chelate (T4) and100 mg manganese proteinate chelate (T5). Feed and water were provided ad libitum throughout the experimental period. The trial lasted 5 weeks. The results indicated that body weight gain and feed conversion coefficient were influenced by supplemental levels of zinc and manganese proteinate chelates, the hemoglobin concentration, packed cell volume and white blood cell were significantly higher in groups T3 and T5. Total cholesterol level, LDL-cholestrol and glucose decreased in T3and T5 treatment ( Zn and Mn proteinate chelate). However, HDL-cholestrol level, Albumin, AST, ALT, ALP and calcium were significantly increase with chelated minerals treatments. The effect of treatment on the carcass traits and relative weight of the lymphoid organs were significantly increased. It is concluded that supplementing diets of Japanese quail with Mn and Zn chelate especially with protein had great influence on performance, blood profile and carcass characteristics as well as improved the immune
Use of recycled aggregates in pressed fly ash geopolymer concrete

In this study, the physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of pressed geopolymer concrete (PRGC) mixed with recycled concrete aggregate (RC) and recycled concrete block aggregate (RB) were investigated. Lignite coal fly ash, sodium hydroxide solution (NaOH), and sodium silicate solution were used as source materials to make geopolymer paste. The effect of fly ash to aggregate ratios and concentrations of NaOH on PRGC properties were tested. Test results were also compared to those of PRGCs mixed with conventional aggregate (limestone dust, SD). The test results showed that PRGCs containing RC and RB exhibited lower dry density, thermal conductivity, and compressive strength than those of PRGCs containing SD. Nevertheless, the compressive strength of PRGCs mixed with recycled aggregates was close to the compressive strength for moderate strength lightweight concrete as per ACI 213. Moreover, the lower thermal conductivity and dry density indicated better insulating properties than that of PRGCs containing SD. The developed PRGCs containing RC and RB in the study can be used for the manufacturing of hollow geopolymer‐based concrete block which are green material with improved insulating properties.
Beijing Climate Center Earth System Model version 1 (BCC-ESM1): Model Description and Evaluation

Abstract. BCC-ESM1 is the first version of a fully-coupled Earth System Model with interactive atmospheric chemistry and aerosols developed by Beijing Climate Center, China Meteorological Administration. Major aerosol species (including sulfate, organic carbon, black carbon, dust and sea salt) and greenhouse gases are interactively simulated with a whole panoply of processes controlling emission, transport, gas-phase chemical reactions, secondary aerosol formation, gravitational settling, dry deposition, and wet scavenging by clouds and precipitation. Effects of aerosols on radiation, cloud, and precipitation are fully treated. The performance of BCC-ESM1 in simulating aerosols and their optical properties is comprehensively evaluated as required by the Aerosol Chemistry Model Intercomparison Project (AerChemMIP), covering the preindustrial mean state and time evolution from 1850 to 2014. The simulated aerosols from BCC-ESM1 are quite coherent with CMIP5-recommended data and in-situ measurements from surface networks (such as IMPROVE in the U.S. and EMEP in Europe). A comparison of the aerosol optical depth (AOD) at 550 nm for all aerosols with the satellite AOD observations retrieved from MODIS and MISR and surface AOD observations from AERONET shows reasonable agreement between simulated and observed AOD. However, BCC-ESM1 seems to show weaker upward transport of aerosols from the surface to the middle and upper troposphere, likely reflecting the deficiency of representing deep convective transport of chemical species in BCC-ESM1. With an overall good agreement between BCC-ESM1 simulated and observed aerosol properties, it demonstrates a success of the implementation of interactive aerosol chemistry in BCC-ESM1.
Early and Middle Proterozoic evolution of Yukon, Canada

This paper provides a comprehensive synthesis of virtually all units and events of Early and Middle Proterozoic age in the Yukon, spanning ~1 Ga. Early and Middle Proterozoic time was dominated by a series of extensional-basin-forming events punctuated by orogenesis, magmatism, and hydrothermal activity. Basinal deposits include the Wernecke Supergroup (>1.71 Ga), Pinguicula Group (~1.38 Ga), and Mackenzie Mountains Supergroup (1.000.78 Ga). Igneous rocks include the Bonnet Plume River Intrusions (1.71 Ga), Slab volcanics (≥1.6 Ga), Hart River sills and volcanics (1.38 Ga), and Bear River (Mackenzie) dykes (1.27 Ga). A voluminous hydrothermal event generated the widespread Wernecke breccias at 1.60 Ga. The Racklan orogeny deformed the Wernecke Supergroup prior to emplacement of the Wernecke Breccia. The Corn Creek orogeny deformed Mackenzie Mountains Supergroup and older rocks prior to deposition of the Windermere Supergroup (<0.78 Ga). Long intervals with scanty rock records extended for as much as 300 .
S-Layer Protein Coated Carbon Nanotubes

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have already been considered for medical applications due to their small diameter and ability to penetrate cells and tissues. However, since CNTs are chemically inert and non-dispersible in water, they have to be chemically functionalized or coated with biomolecules to carry payloads or interact with the environment. Proteins, although often only randomly bound to the CNT surface, are preferred because they provide a better biocompatibility and present functional groups for binding additional molecules. A new approach to functionalize CNTs with a closed and precisely ordered protein layer is offered by bacterial surface layer (S-layer) proteins, which have already attracted much attention in the functionalization of surfaces. We could demonstrate that bacterial S-layer proteins (SbpA of Lysinibacillus sphaericus CCM 2177 and the recombinant fusion protein rSbpA31-1068GG comprising the S-layer protein and two copies of the IgG binding region of Protein G) can be used to disperse and functionalize oxidized multi walled CNTs. Following a simple protocol, a complete surface coverage with a long-range crystalline S-layer lattice can be obtained. When rSbpA31-1068GG was used for coating, the introduced functionality could be confirmed by binding gold labeled antibodies via the IgG binding domain of the fusion protein. Since a great variety of functional S-layer fusion proteins has already been described, our new technology has the potential for a broad spectrum of functionalized CNTs.
Effect of Humic and Fulvic Acids on Growth and Yield of Lettuce Plant.

A pot experiment was carried out during the winter season of 201 4 under alluvial soil at the green house of Soils Dept. Faculty of Agriculture, MansouraUniversity. The aim of this experiment is to study the response of lettuce plant to different rates of humic substances (humic and fulvic acids). The experiment treatments included four different application rates of humic and fulvic acid (0, 7, 10 and 13 kg fed-1) using three methods of application (soil, fertigation and foliar applications). The used experimental design was a split plot design with three replicates for each treatment . The effects of soil applications, fertigation and foliar of humic substances on the plant growth and some nutrient elements uptake of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) grown under different rates were examined. The results of the present study showed that the significant effects of different application rates of humic substances on fresh and dry weights, plant height, N%, P % and K%. The results indicated that the highest values of fresh and dry weight of shoot as well as plant height (cm) were at foliar addition of fulvic acid at 13 kg fed-1 treatment. Also, the nutrient content (N, P, and K) of lettuce was significantly increased with raising of application rates of humic substances.

Effect of moisture content of two paddy varieties on the physical and cooked properties of produced rice

Abstract Yasemin and Anber are the main rice varieties cultivated in Iraq. Anber is the favorite variety in Iraq because of its unique flavor, and Yasemin is the most cultivated variety. Determining the suitable moisture content of both varieties to produce high extraction rate (lowest rice breakage), good rice whiteness, and the best rice quality in terms of cooked properties was the purpose of this study. Moisture content (MC) (10%, 12%, 14%, 16%) of Yasemin and Anber were used, and targeted whiteness (32, 34, and 36) were obtained by using different milling times. Results showed that the best moisture content was 14% for Yasemin variety and 10% for Anber variety in terms of extraction rate. Process time increasing led to reduction of extraction rate and increased rice whiteness. The highest extraction rate of Yasemin and Anber was 56% and 64% with 32 whiteness, respectively. Kernel breakage had opposite relationship with extraction rate. Yasemin and Anber varieties were classified as short grain rice depending on their length. The maximum elongation was at 16% MC for Yasemin variety and at 10% MC for Anber variety, which increased 60% more than uncooked rice. There was no definite pattern observed for increasing rice volume (width and weight). In conclusion, the extraction rate of Yasemin and Anber varieties was increased at 14% and 10% MC, respectively. For cooked properties, 10% MC of Anber was the best in terms of rice elongation, while 16% MC was the best for Yasemin variety.
Forms of application of phosphorus fertilization on carrot

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of forms of application and application rates of phosphate fertilizer on the agronomic characteristics of carrot. A field experiment was carried out in a 2 × 7 factorial arrangement, consisting of two forms of application of the P source (over the whole area or specifically in the strip of the double row), and seven application rates of P2O5 in randomized blocks, with four replicates. Shoot dry matter yield increased linearly, and root dry matter yield increased exponentially with an increase in P rate. Total and commercial yields increased exponentially, with higher yield for P application over the whole area. However, the agronomic efficiency for site-specific application was higher. Higher rates of P application caused increases in the soil attributes and technical traits of carrot, and the application of phosphorus fertilizer is more efficient when performed in a site-specific manner.
Screening and optimization of submerged fermentation of lipolytic Aspergillus oryzae

Lipases are enzymes commonly used in industry. This study describes the production of lipolytic enzyme via a newly isolated strain of Aspergillus oryzae under a submerged fermentation process. Five strains of A. oryzae were isolated from oil-contaminated soil and water as well as dead decaying organic matter. Qualitative screening revealed that A. oryzae RBM4 strain was a lipase producer, and the process was optimized for enhanced production. Incubation time, incubation temperature, initial pH, use of agricultural by-products, nitrogen sources, and substrates were tested. The results revealed that initial pH 5.5(12.7 U/mL/min) in 72 h (19.39 U/mL/min) at 30 °C (27.40 U/mL/min) sorghum (35.66 U/mL/min), NaNO3 (17% more than blank), yeast extract (47.95 U/mL/min), and Shan ghee (58.12 U/mL/min) were the best conditions. Extracellular lipase production was increased up to 78% by applying all the above conditions.
Quantifying the World and Its Webs: Mathematical Discrete vs Continua in Knowledge Construction

This short paper is meant to be an introduction to the ‘Letter to Alan Turing’ that follows it. It summarizes some basic ideas in information theory and very informally hints at their mathematical properties. In order to introduce Turing’s two main theoretical contributions, in Theory of Computation and in Morphogenesis (an analysis of the dynamics of forms), the fundamental divide between discrete vs. continuous structures in mathematics is presented, as it is also a divide in his scientific life. The reader who is familiar with these notions, and is convinced that they (and their differences) are relevant in the mathematical understanding of phenomena, may skip this introduction and go directly to the Letter.
Ionizing Radiation Effect on Memory Characteristics for HfO2-Based Ferroelectric Field-Effect Transistors

HfO<sub>2</sub>-based ferroelectric field-effect transistors (FeFET) on Si were employed as the platform to investigate the impact of <sup>60</sup>Co <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\gamma $ </tex-math></inline-formula>-rays radiation on memory characteristics. For pristine state, the memory window by ±4 V sweeping for non-irradiated devices is 1.48 V which does not degrade with 300-krad and 10-Mrad radiation dose even though the remnant polarization (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\text{P}_{\textsf {r}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>) decreases due to radiation-induced oxygen vacancies (Vo) and lattice distortion in the ferroelectric material HfZrO<sub>x</sub> (HZO).

The most adverse effect of radiation is the deteriorated endurance caused by the increased number of Vo during cycling test (+5.5 V, −5 V/<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$10~\mu \text{s}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>) as evidenced by memory window of 0.52 V at 10<sup>6</sup> cycles for devices with 300-krad radiation dose. Furthermore, robust HZO and SiO<sub>x</sub> interacial layer against radiation is required to suppress the bond break so that the reliability can be improved.
Effect of Organic and Mineral Fertilization on Wheat Yield and Quality

Two field experiments were carried out at El-Sharawy village in ELBostan area-Noubaria Region, Elbeheira governorate Egypt, (Latitude 30° 43' 22.01" N, Longitude 30° 16' 44.50" E), during the two growing successive seasons of 2012/2013 and 2013/2014, to study the effects of compost, nitrogen application levels and Humic substances as foliar sprays on wheat yield as well as some nutrient contents in wheat grain and straw, grain protein content and total carbohydrate of wheat plants (Masr-1 variety). A split-split plot deign with three replicates was used. The main plots were assigned for two rates of compost (0 and 10 m/fed), the sub-sub plots were assigned for three levels of nitrogen treatments while sub-sub plots were assigned for two Khumate treatments i.e. without addition and foliar application at 2 L fed. The obtained results revealed that application of compost significantly increased the wheat grain and straw yields and their contents of N, P, K and grain protein. Raising mineral nitrogen fertilizer level from 50 to 75 and 100 % resulted in significant increases in 1000-grain weight, grain and straw yields/fed and protein content of grain and straw as well as N, P and K content in grain and straw. Foliar application of K-humate generally had enhancing effects on wheat productivity and improved its nutrient contents. In this concern, the soil application of 10 m compost together with mineral nitrogen fertilizer at of the recommended N 75 or100 % level and 2 L fed K-humate had the superior impact.
Evaluation of the application of an edible coating and different frying temperatures on acrylamide and fat content in potato chips

The consumption of fried foods and specifically potatoes is associated with the development of cardiovascular and cancer diseases in the population due to these foods contain a high fat level and some toxic compounds such as acrylamide. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the effect of the application of an edible coating developed from whey proteins and rosemary extracts on the reduction of acrylamide and fat in potato chips. The methodology included factorial experimental design, taking as independent variables: percentage of whey protein (5–11%), percentage of rosemary extract (0–2%), and frying temperature (170–190 C). The fat content was determined according to AOAC and acrylamide by LC-ESI-MS-MS. In addition, textural analyses were performed on potato chips. The content of acrylamide oscillated between 130 and 650 µg/kg. The acrylamide content was significantly affected by the frying temperature (p < 0.05). The fat content ranged between 8 and 31%. The firmness values ranged between 0.5 and 5.7 N. It can be concluded that the edible coating reduces the content of acrylamide and fat during frying, in addition to improving the firmness of the potato. Therefore, the designed coating could be an alternative to the public health problem generated by the consumption of fried foods. The present shows the of with the of of natural antioxidants from reduce the formation of neo-formed contaminants (acrylamide) and adsorption of fat, which represents a great processing alternative for the industry that allows them to comply with the regulations, recommendations, and existing trends regarding to the consumption of healthier products. In addition, the use of the coating does not affect the sensory quality of the potatoes. This also represents an attractive alternative for consumers who demand increasingly safe and healthy and tasty products, favoring the decrease in the prevalence of degenerative diseases in world population. in coated potato chips, with an R2 of 87%, which can be used to predict the acrylamide content according to the frying conditions.
Impact of microwave disinfestation treatments on the bacterial communities of no‐till agricultural soils

Growing herbicide resistance has encouraged the development of new technologies for weed control. Microwave (MW) heating of soil before sowing has been shown to reduce weed establishment in no‐till farming systems and substantially increases crop productivity. However, the effect of this technology on the soil microbial community in general, and on beneficial soil microbes such as ammonia oxidizers in particular, warrants further study. In order to check the effect of MW soil disinfestation treatments on the soil biota, indigenous soil microcosms were treated under a horn antenna of the MW prototype for three distinct durations. Immediately after heating (T0) and 28 days after heating (T28) the soil was collected at two penetration depths (0–5 and 5–10 cm) of MW energy to determine the bacterial community responses based on 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and the total abundances of bacteria and ammonia oxidisers with qPCR. Although total bacteria and ammonia oxidizer abundances exhibited no response to the MW treatments, bacterial community composition differed according to the treatment durations. Community responses clustered into two categories: no effect at low heating intensities (0 and 30 s, 17–45°C) and strong effect at high heating intensities (60 and 90 s, 65–78°C). For the latter group, community richness did not recover to its pre‐heating levels within the 4 weeks studied. Immediately after high heating intensity treatments, the relative abundance of Firmicutes increased and that of Proteobacteria decreased significantly regardless of penetration depth. The relative abundances of beneficial soil microbes (Micromonosporaceae, Kaistobacter and Bacillus) were significantly higher as soils recovered from high heating intensities compared with untreated soils at T28. Our findings suggest that although pre‐sowing MW treatments alter the soil microbial community, beneficial soil microbes exhibit faster recovery.
