Environmental, sanitary and ampelographic characterization of wild grapevine in Western Pyrenées (Spain, France)

Aims : The aim of this paper was to locate and describe the wild grapevine as a phytogenetic resource in Western Pyrenees, including Navarre, Aragon (Spain) and the department of Pyrenees atlantiques (France). Methods and results : An ampelographic description of wild grapevine populations was made as well as a study of their oenological potential and an evaluation of their sanitary condition. The ampelographic results confirmed the dioecious nature of all the specimens. The microvinification results of two wine samples showed low alcohol content, high acidity (low pH) and high intensity of colour. The sanitary study revealed that the main parasites of the vines were eriophyids (mites), powdery and downy mildews (fungus), with aerial organs being most susceptible (leaves, bunches). No symptoms of phylloxera, nematodes or root destroying fungi were detected. The paper is complemented by a list of the main accompanying botanical species. Conclusion : This phytogenetic resource is well represented in the area of study, exhibiting a good sanitary status. Significance and impact of the study : This paper could provide the basis for future genetic studies addressing the possible links between the wild grapevines and the cultivated varieties of the region. Wild grapevines could also be used in future breeding programs.

Atomic data from the IRON Project. XIX. Radiative transition probabilities for forbidden lines in Fe II

Radiative transition probabilities have been calculated for the magnetic dipole (M1) and electric quadrupole (E2) transitions connecting the 63 metastable levels in the 3d 6 4s, 3d 7 and 3d 5 4s 2 configurations in Fe II. The most important configuration interaction (CI) and relativistic effects have been taken into account in the computations carried out with the help of two independent computer programs, SUPERSTRUCTURE (SST) and RELATIVISTIC HARTREE-FOCK (HFR). The results obtained in the present work are compared with previous theoretical studies and with some astrophysical observations. The new data presented here are probably the most reliable to date.
VERTICAL TRANSMISSION OF DENGUE VIRUS ON FIELD MOSQUITOES IN BANYUMAS REGENCY, CENTRAL JAVA, INDONESIA

ABSTRACT Background: The role of vertical transmission on the dengue virus (DENV) transmission is still under research. Some researcher believed that vertical transmission play an important role on DENV persistence in nature. However, still a few reports showed vertical transmission on the field mosquitoes and its importance. This study aims to detect the vertical transmision on field mosquitoes in Banyumas Regency, Central Java, Indonesia using immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay and Reverse-Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). Materials and Methods: 100 houses were chosen in each of three dengue endemic villages, resulting in a total of 300 houses for ovitrap installations. Six days after initial installation, eggs were then collected from ovistrips and grown in a rearing room to adulthood. Caputs of Fillial 1 from adults mosquitoes were assesed using IHC assay, while thorax part were assesed using RT-PCR. Result: Based on IHC assay, all of the studied villages showed the occurence of vertical transmission with percentage around 13-27%. Ae . aegypti showed higher percentage of vertical transmission than Ae . albopictus. There is a discrepancy results based on RT-PCR assay since there is no positive band detected on electrophoresis gel indicated negative of dengue virus. Conclusion: The discrepancy results between IHC and RT-PCR is an interesting facts to be explored, due to the specificity and sensitivity of IHC. Even though there is no positive band on electrophoresis gel from RT PCR assay showed that negative result of DENV detection on the studied samples, with respect to positive results confirmation based on IHC assay, it should be an awareness to the health officer to prevent and control DENV tranmission.

Behavioral Response of Barren Ground Caribou to a Moving Vehicle

Behavioral responses of individual Barren Ground caribou ( Rangifer tarandus granti ) to a 3/4-ton pickup truck were quantified on 36 occasions. During 34 of those observations the vehicle initially approached at a speed of over 56 km/hr. Forty-eight percent of the individual caribou reacted to the vehicle by running away while 38% trotted away. The mean flight duration of females was 73 ± 11 sec, that of males 38 ± 6 sec (p=0.09). Caribou encountering a moving vehicle exhibited signs of excitement and fright, including the excitation jump and tail-up response. Reversal of direction and/or splitting of the group involved 29% of the individual caribou. The type of habitat (forested vs. open) did not have an effect on observation duration (p>0.50) or on the mean distance at which caribou were first encountered (p>0.50). The distance from the vehicle at which animals began to flee did not differ between sexes (p>0.50) or habitats (p>0.50) but was as great for both sexes as that reported for females with young calves. In forested habitat male caribou allowed a much closer approach than females (p=0.08) but closeness of approach did not differ between the sexes in open habitat (p>0.50).
Exploring Knowledge Sharing Behaviors on the e-Learning Platform by Using Theory of Planned Behavior Integrated with Psychological Safety

Web-based learning provides the educational environment where learners can implement cooperative learning, knowledge sharing, and problem solving. Each student has his/her different knowledge or advantages, their mutual knowledge sharing behaviors can not merely give them opportunities to absorb the community members’ knowledge on the e-learning platform, but make them much closer. Although web-based instruction has been promoted and implemented in every university for years in Taiwan. Nevertheless, the discussion of students’ knowledge sharing behaviors with the employments of e-learning platforms is rare. Recent studies regarding the shaping of behaviors and behavioral intention, Theory of Planned Behavior is the most widely adopted. It is used in this paper to research on the causes for which students exercise knowledge sharing through e-learning platform. Furthermore, the discussion of psychological process appeared to lack in the earlier studies,so the influence of psychological safety will also be discussed. So, the purpose of this paper is to discuss: (1) the essential elements to form knowledge sharing intention; (2) knowledge sharing intention influences the generation of knowledge sharing behavior or not; (3) the influence of psychological safety on knowledge sharing intention. In order to test and verify the theoretical model used in this paper, questionnaire survey was used. Five hundred and eighty-four students of NCUE involved in the survey study, and four hundred and fifty-seven valid questionnaires were returned. The rate of return was 78%. Structural Equation Models were used to test research hypotheses, the result is partially different in related research. We found that except the relationship between attitude and behavioral intention isn’t signficant, both subjective norm and perceived behavioral control could affect the students’ behavioral intention toward knowledge sharing on the e-learning platform. We also found that psychological safety would help to form the knowledge sharing intention, and knowledge sharing intention is the predictor of knowledge sharing behavior. Based on these results, we gave our conclusions and concrete recommendations for higher education management and future research.
Assessing the relation between equity risk premium and macroeconomic volatilities in the UK

This paper uses the exponential generalised heteroscedasticity model-in-mean (EGARCH- M) to analyse the relationship between the equity risk premium and macroeconomic volatility. This premium depends upon conditional volatility, which is significantly affected by the long bond yield, acting as a proxy for the underlying rate of inflation.
Mesoscale structures viewed by SAR and AVHRR near the Canary islands

Comparison of Synthetic Aperture Radar and Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometry images of sea surface backscatter and temperature during the peak of the summer Trade winds reveals many aspects of the regional oceanography of the Canary Islands. A strong correspondence occurs between the SAR and AVHRR signals. The generally uniform wind field is perturbed as it flows past the islands producing regions of calm immediately downstream. These are bounded by lines of strong horizontal wind shear that coincide with temperature fronts between warmer lee waters and the cooler surrounding ocean. Weaker winds prevail up to 50 km downstream while enhanced wind speed on the boundaries of the lee can extend more than 150 km. Lee waves are excited in the atmospheric inversion layer where the wind passes over abrupt island topography. Quantitative estimates of wind speed made with the CMOD4 algorithm are unreliable in the downstream region because wind direction is variable and unknown and because spatial gradients in air-sea temperature difference affect atmospheric boundary layer stability. A large anticyclone south of Tenerife strongly influenced the estimated wind speed probably because higher ocean temperatures in its centre caused atmospheric instability and increased radar backscatter. The temperature fronts marking boundaries of the upwelling filament and strong eddies observed in AVHRR appear as lines of current shear in the SAR images.
Does Non-Farm Income Increase Farm-Household Income Inequality? Evidence from Three Continents

This paper performs inequality decomposition by income sources using data from three different continents, using a unified inequality decomposition approach. Household survey data from Ethiopia, Georgia and Korea are used for this purpose, and the uniform result is that non-farm labor income is an equalizing source of income, in the sense that increasing non-farm labor income by 1% uniformly results in a lower Gini index of inequality. These results shed light on the processes that affect farm-household inequality under various geographical, economic and institutional conditions, and imply that policy directed towards non-farm income sources could not only raise rural incomes on average but also potentially reduce inequality, i.e., be pro-poor.
Syntactic Categorization in French-Learning Infants.

Recent work showed that infants recognize and store function words starting from the age of 6-8 months. Using a visual fixation procedure, the present study tested whether French-learning 14-month-olds have the knowledge of syntactic categories of determiners and pronouns, respectively, and whether they can use these function words for categorizing novel words to nouns and verbs. The prosodic characteristics of novel words stimuli for noun versus verb uses were balanced. The only distinguishing cue was the preceding determiners versus subject pronouns, the former being the most common for nouns and the latter the most common for verbs, i.e., Det + Noun, Pron + Verb. We expected that noun categorization may be easier than verb categorization because the co-occurrence of determiners with nouns is more consistent than that of subject pronouns with verbs in French. The results showed that infants grouped the individual determiners as one common class, and that they appeared to use the determiners to categorize novel words into nouns. However, we found no evidence of verb categorization. Unlike determiners, pronouns were not perceived as a common syntactic class.
TOPICAL REVIEW: The science and technology of superconducting cavities for accelerators

Rapid advances in the performance of superconducting cavities have made RF superconductivity a key technology for accelerators that fulfil a variety of physics needs: high-energy particle physics, nuclear physics, neutron spallation sources and free-electron lasers. New applications are forthcoming for frontier high-energy physics accelerators, radioactive beams for nuclear astrophysics, next-generation light sources, intense proton accelerators for neutron and muon sources. There are now nearly one kilometre of superconducting cavities installed in accelerators around the world, providing more than 5 GV of acceleration. The most recent installation of 20 m for a free-electron laser realized an average gradient a factor of four higher than existing applications. Improved understanding of the physics of RF superconductivity, together with advances in technology, are responsible for the spectacular increases in performance. RF superconductivity is a mature science going well beyond technological know-how and trial-and-error approaches to genuine understanding of the underlying physics. Research continues to push performance levels towards the theoretical limit, which is another factor of two higher than the levels yet achieved.
Effect of cadmium on DNA changes in Ipomoea aquatica Forssk

Cadmium (Cd) contamination in plants fertilized with inorganic fertilizers is a major risk to human health. Ipomoea aquatica Forssk. , which is one of the most popular vegetables used in Thai cuisine, is also vulnerable to Cd contamination. This study aimed to investigate Cd accumulation in Ipomoea aquatica Forssk. and the associated changes in its DNA. The plant was grown in soil supplemented with Cd at 0, 15, 30, 60, and 120 mg/kg. After 21 days, accumulation in the roots, stems, and leaves was analyzed using atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS), and the bioconcentration (BCF) and translocation factors (TF) were analyzed. DNA changes were assessed by a combination of random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and genomic template stability (GTS) tests. Cd concentrations in the roots, stems, and leaves ranged from 0 to 12,333 mg/kg, 0 to 5,909.27 mg/kg, and 0 to 1,653.26 mg/kg, respectively. The BCF and TF values ranged from 0 to 21.15 and 0 to 1.21, respectively. From the RAPD profiles, the GTS values ranged from 52.3 to 91.1%. Taken together, these results indicate that I. aquatica is a Cd-hyperaccumulator; therefore, consuming I. aquatica plants grown in Cd-polluted areas is a health risk.

Moreover, the research intends to examine the relationships among duration of general Internet usage, duration of online gaming, problematic Internet usage levels, and procrastination, as well as qualitatively define adolescents’ opinions about the Internet. In the research, the study group consists of 1,088 high-school students. Data was collected by means of the Problematic Internet Usage Scale-Adolescent, General Procrastination Scale, Academic Procrastination Scale, and Personal Information Questionnaire. According to the research results, adolescents’ average duration of daily Internet usage is 3.42 hours and the longer the Internet is used for, the higher their levels of problematic Internet usage. Adolescents use the Internet most commonly on their cellphones, and cellphone users have higher problematic Internet usage levels. Adolescents use the Internet mainly “to have fun – pass time,” and those who use the Internet for these purposes have higher problematic Internet usage levels. A low-level and positively significant relationship exists for problematic Internet usage levels with general procrastination and academic procrastination. Furthermore, adolescents mostly see the Internet as “a tool for obtaining information”. They mostly state the Internet’s positive effect as “Internet lets me obtain information” and its negative effect as “causing me to waste time”.
Impacts of Climate Change on Rice Yield and Variability; an Analysis of Disaggregate Level in the Southwestern Part of Bangladesh Especially Jessore and Sathkhira Districts

Climate Change is a hot issue in the world. Effect of climate change on yield of two varieties of boro rice has been assessed using the CERES Rice model of the DSSAT modeling system. The yield of BR3 and BR14 boro varieties for the years 2008, 2030, 2050 and 2070 have been simulated for 12 locations (districts) of Bangladesh, which were selected from among the major rice growing areas in different regions of Bangladesh. The CERES-Rice model uses a detailed set of crop specific genetic coefficients for predicting yield (BR3 and BR14) because “genetic coefficients” for these varieties are available in the DSSAT modeling system. Available data on soil and hydrologic characteristics of these locations, and typical crop management practice for boro rice were used in the simulations. The weather data required for the model (daily maximum and minimum temperatures, daily solar radiation and daily precipitation) were generated for the selected years and for the selected locations using the regional climate model PRECIS. The model predicted significant reduction in yield of both varieties of boro rice due to climate change; yield reductions of over 20% and 50% have been predicted for both rice varieties for the years 2050 and 2070, respectively. Increases in daily maximum and minimum temperatures have been found to be primarily responsible for reduction in yield. Increases in incoming solar radiation and atmospheric carbon-di-oxide concentration increases rice yield to some extent, but their effect is not significant compared to the negative effects of temperature. Variations in rainfall pattern over the growing period have also been found to affect rice yield. Increasing temperatures and solar radiation have been found to reduce the duration of physiological maturity of the rice varieties. Model results also suggest that in addition to reducing yield, climate change may also make rice yield more vulnerable to transplanting date, predicting significant reduction in yield as transplanting date is delayed, especially beyond 15 January. DSSAT modeling system could be a useful for assessing possible impacts of climate change and management practices on different varieties rice and other crops.
Efficient N2O5 uptake and NO3 oxidation in the outflow of urban Beijing

Abstract. Nocturnal reactive nitrogen compounds play an important role in regional air pollution. Here we present the measurements of dinitrogen pentoxide (N2O5) associated with nitryl chloride (ClNO2) and particulate nitrate (pNO3-) at a suburban site of Beijing in the summer of 2016. High levels of N2O5 and ClNO2 were observed in the outflow of the urban Beijing air masses, with 1 min average maxima of 937 and 2900 pptv, respectively. The N2O5 uptake coefficients, γ, and ClNO2 yield, f, were experimentally determined from the observed parameters. The N2O5 uptake coefficient ranged from 0.012 to 0.055, with an average of 0.034 ± 0.018, which is in the upper range of previous field studies reported in North America and Europe but is a moderate value in the North China Plain (NCP), which reflects efficient N2O5 heterogeneous processes in Beijing. The ClNO2 yield exhibited high variability, with a range of 0.50 to unity and an average of 0.73 ± 0.25. The concentration of the nitrate radical (NO3) was calculated assuming that the thermal equilibrium between NO3 and N2O5 was maintained. In NOx-rich air masses, the oxidation of nocturnal biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) was dominated by NO3 rather than O3. The production rate of organic nitrate (ON) via NO3 + BVOCs was significant, with an average of 0.10 ± 0.07 ppbv h−1. We highlight the importance of NO3 oxidation of VOCs in the formation of ON and subsequent secondary organic aerosols in summer in Beijing.
