Time-lapse tracing of biological events in an endophytic schizophoran fly , Atherigona soccata Rondani ( Diptera : Muscidae )

Atherigona soccata Rondani known as shoot fly is an endophytic pest of cultivated sorghum in the Old World. In our study, we demonstrate all critical biological events of the fly on a real-time basis using time-lapse imaging, including the endophytic larval and puparial stages. The most critical biological events in A. soccata are egg-hatching, first instar larva, pupariation, eclosion and post-eclosion phases. All these stages are critical because of their time-boundedness from initiation to completion. Any kind of lapse in terms of time delay in completion of an event prevented the insect from advancing to the next phase of life and eventually proved fatal. After hatching from egg, first instar larva took a mean time of 34 min to enter the plant through the gap between leaf sheath and growing central shoot. From this moment of larval entry into the plant until total extrication of adult fly during eclosion, A. soccata passed its life endophytically. After larval entry, it took a mean time of 33.7 h for the plant to show first visible symptoms of withering of central growing leaf whorl. From larval hatching to first takeoff of adult fly required an average of 309.6 h (12.9 days). The critical periods in the life cycle of A. soccata are less resilient to changes and therefore more vulnerable to external influences. Such phases in the life history can be targeted for managing A. soccata in sorghum.
Analysis and Design of a Planar Multilayered FSS with Arbitrary Incidence

Abstract − A rigorous technique based on the transverse Wave Concept Iterative Procedure (WCIP) and a Fast Mode Transformation (FMT) is used to analyze the Frequency Selective Surface (FSS). These structures are used as filters and reflector antenna as well as deep-space exploration for multi-frequency operations. In order to initialize the iterative procedure, an incident wave is defined in spatial domain with arbitrary angle of incidence. The numerical complexity is studied and compared to the classical MoM. The good agreement between simulated and published data justifies the design procedure.
Optimization of process parameters for enhanced biodegradation of acid red 119 by Bacillus thuringiensis SRDD

Developed Bacillus thuringiensis SRDD showed degradation of C.I. Acid red 119 and growth under the extreme condition of temperature 70°C, pH 3-8, heavy metals concentration of 0.8 mM, NaCl up to 900 mM and 1000 ppm dye. Cotton seed, caster cake and corn cake powders were found to be better and cheaper nutrient supplements for the Bacillus thuringiensis SRDD for biodegradation as compared to molasses. After development of the culture and the process, more than 99% degradation was achieved in less than 2 hrs of contact time even on 18 cycles of addition of 100 ppm AR-119 dye. The developed process showed AR-119 biodegradation rate as high as 220 mg L h, which is found to be 130 times more as compared to the reported data. U.V. , FTIR, TLC and HPLC analysis data confirmed biodegradation ability of the Bacillus thuringiensis for AR-119.
Distribution of enDemic cicaDas ( Hemiptera : cicaDiDae ) on evia anD aDjacent islanDs in Greece

on the greek island of Evia (Euboea) we found and previously described three endemic species of Cicadettini: Cicadetta dirfica, Cicadetta hannekeae and Euboeana castaneivaga. only one of them, C. hannekeae is present also in continental Greece. We tried to determine their geographical distribution on selected aegean islands: Evia, andros, Skopelos, ikaria and Samos. only on andros we discovered one of the Evian endemics, E. castaneivaga, on other islands we did not detect any of the Evia endemic species mentioned above. We discuss the possible reasons for such limited distributions and are also providing data about other cicada species found on investigated islands.

LEADERSHIP STYLES AND ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT TYPES

This paper reports the results of an examination of the relationship between two basic leadership styles and three forms of organizational commitment for a sample of 246 non-managerial employees. The research question examined in this study asked if a “people friendly” (consideration) leadership style was positively related to increased levels of desirable forms of organizational commitment. The patterns of results from this analysis suggest that contrary to the popular myth, consideration type leader behaviors are not more strongly correlated with moral commitment than are initiating structure type behaviors. However, the difference is relatively small.
Influence of sample size on the sound absorption

The sound absorption of materials not only depends on material properties but also on the geometrical properties and the incident sound field. The absorption of materials is usually determined in a reverberation chamber on a sample of certain dimensions, within a limited range. The measurement is made according to ISO 354. The finite size of the absorber may result in absorption coefficient well over 1 and in practical situations, for different dimensions, the actual absorption will be different. This size related problem is addressed in this paper. Purpose is to estimate the absorption of an infinite sample and the absorption of a finite sample with different dimensions, from the data of the reverberation room measurement.
Tablet , Flashcard and SMS and their Effects on EFL Learners ' Attitudes and Vocabulary Knowledge

Mahboubeh Taghizadeh Parinaz Porkar Iran University of Science and Technology Iran ABSTRACT The purposes of this study were to compare the effects of using SMS, tablet and flashcard on the EFL learners‟ attitudes and vocabulary learning. The participants of the study were 45 Iranian advanced EFL learners, who were divided into three groups, each with 15 participants. The first group learned the vocabulary items via tablet, the second group learned them via SMS, and the third one learned the vocabulary items via flashcard. Three instruments were used in this study: a pretest of vocabulary, a posttest of vocabulary, and an attitude questionnaire. The results revealed that vocabulary instruction via SMS, flashcard, and tablet was effective in improving the participants‟ performance on the vocabulary test; however, the highest mean on the posttest was obtained by students who received vocabulary instruction through tablet. The results also showed that the majority of the learners in the SMS group found reading texts on mobile phone‟s tiny screen troublesome and preferred to receive English words via email rather than SMS. Majority of the learners in the flashcard group considered flashcard effective for learning English words arguing that flashcards could be used on the move and provide flexible learning anywhere, anytime. Learners in the tablet group reported that tablet learning increased their motivation and was effective for learning English words. This study recommends that instructors consider language learners‟ attitudes towards various methods of vocabulary learning.

Chapter 6 Present ? Remote ? Remotely present ! New technological approaches to remote simultaneous conference interpreting

Since the 1970s, there have been several approaches to test and implement remote interpreting as a complementary interpreting modality in addition to the traditional and proven interpretation on site. The reasons for experimenting with remote interpretation in conference settings are manifold and can generally be classified by economic aspects, availability issues or organizational matters. In this paper, we discuss the preliminary results of a pilot study aimed at exploring how the limitations of remote interpreting described by the literature could be overcome using new technological advances in Information and Communication Technology. We discuss challenges and technological solutions for remote simultaneous conference interpreting from an interdisciplinary perspective and sketch out what the future workspace for conference interpreters might look like.
Testing a Couple Burnout Model * Eş Tükenmişliği Modeli ’ nin Test Edilmesi

İbrahim Yıldırım Hacettepe University, Faculty of Education, Department of Educational Sciences, Guidance and Psychological Counseling, Turkey iyil@hacettepe.edu. tr ABSTRACT In this study, couple burnout has been tested with career burnout, dyadic adjustment, spousal support and spousal emotional jealousy in structural equation model. The study participants consisted of 576 married individuals who work in public institutions and accept to participate in this study in 2013. For the purpose of collecting data The Couple Burnout Scale, The Burnout Scale, The Spousal Support Scale, The Dyadic Adjustment Scale, The Spousal Emotional Jealousy Scale and Personal Information Questionnaire have been used. According to the Couple Burnout Model Test, career burnout and dyadic adjustment are related to couple burnout directly and significantly whereas spousal support-with the mediating role of dyadic adjustment-is related to couple burnout significantly. However, it is found that spousal support and spousal emotional jealousy is not related to couple burnout significantly. Spousal emotional jealousy and career burnout is not related to couple burnout significantly with the mediating role of dyadic adjustment. Additionally, it is observed that the result of the Couple Burnout Model Test is at “acceptable level”. According to results of this study, recommendations are proposed for researchers, counselors, policymakers who deal with marriage and family.
A New Absolute Nodal Coordinate Formulation of Solid Element with Continuity Condition and Viscosity Model

In multibody system dynamics formulations, the modeling of classical non-isoparametric element cannot accurately describe the deformation of cross sections. Unlike the conventional methods, the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) of solid element is not only able to achieve section describtion, but also can directly describe the section deformation through the node coordinates. But the deficiency of incomplete polynomial using the current ANCF solid element is expected to avoid locking problems that cannot conform to the derivative coordinates across the boundary. In this paper, the ANCF solid element with continuity condition and internal viscoelastic damping has been provided and achieved. The continuity condition could be applied to make the neighboring elements achieve continuity across boundary, and the viscosity model of the ANCF solid element is proposed for large deformations. Some numerical simulations are provided and according to the comparative results, the ANCF solid element can get higher accuracy than traditional finite element and former ANCF element.
What is the STARprobe

The conventional way to control the bath ratio and temperature of a Hall-Héroult aluminum reduction cell is to regularly take bath samples and measure the bath temperature. Quite often the bath sampling is not synchronized with the bath temperature measurement and in any case due to the delay in getting the bath sample analysis results, control decisions have to be made primarily relying on old and out of sync information. This leads to a very unsteady feedback control loop where the cell is continuously under or over shooting the targeted optimum conditions. This leads to sub-optimal cell performance in terms of current efficiency and energy efficiency [1].
บทฟื้นฟูวิชาการ Concise immunohistochemistry in carcinoma of unknown primary origin

Carcinoma of unknown primary origin is a malignant epithelial neoplasm clinically defined by the presence of metastasis without known primary origin at the time of diagnosis. When it is clinically encountered, further investigations should be considered. Identification of primary origin of such neoplasm is crucial for proper patient management and prognosis. Immunohistochemistry has become an ancillary study for resolving this issue. Initial immunohistochemistry panel including AE1/AE3, S100, CD45 and vimentin is suggested for identification of lineage of tumor cell differentiation. If the tumor cells are diffusely positive for AE1/AE3 confirming the diagnosis of carcinoma, additional immunohistochemistry markers including CK7, CK20 and other tissue-specific markers should be employed in order to determine a primary origin. Interpretation of immunohistochemistry should always be correlated with histopathological findings, clinical context and radiological information. This approach can facilitate determination of the type and origin of carcinoma of unknown primary origin.
THE EFFECT OF AUTHENTICITY PERCEPTIONS , BRAND EQUITY ON BRAND CHOICE INTENTION : A STUDY IN ETHNIC RESTAURANTS IN VIETNAM

The purpose of this article is to examine how customer’s authenticity perceptions affect brand equity, from a customer point of view, and the effect of brand equity on brand choice intention to ethnic restaurants. The authors propose a conceptual framework in which authenticity perceptions has a relationship with brand equity and then four dimensions of brand equity including brand awareness, brand association, perceived quality, brand loyalty are related to brand choice intention. After designing questionnaire content and sampling, 232 samples gathered from several ethnic theme restaurants around Vietnam was utilized for the structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis. The results show that authenticity does have strong impact on brand equity. Additionally, brand equity has shown a significant effect on brand choice intention. Finally, managerial implications are provided based on the research findings.
OF VANED DIFFUSER SPLITTERS ON THE PERFORMANCE OF A AND FLOW CONTROL HIGH PRESSURE RATIO CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR

High pressure ratio centrifugal compressors with vaned diffusers are required in modern gas turbine engines. A potential method to further improve the performance of such compressors is to apply splitters to the vaned diffuser. This paper numerically investigates design choices of splitters in a vaned diffuser of a high pressure ratio centrifugal compressor. The splitters are derived from the main vane but with different chord length. The total vane number has been adjusted to maintain the same diffuser flow capability relative to the impeller. When the splitter is designed in the vaned region of the datum diffuser, the flow separation has been successfully suppressed with increasing relative splitter chord length from 0.10 to 0.70. At high mass flow rate conditions, the stage efficiency and the diffuser pressure recovery coefficient increases by 1.0% and 0.04 respectively due to the suppression of the flow separation. However, at design mass flow rate, the stage efficiency and the diffuser pressure recovery coefficient drops slightly by 0.3% and 0.01 respectively because the enhanced friction loss of vane surfaces is now dominant. When the splitter vane reaches the semi-vaneless region by further increasing its chord length from 0.8 to 0.95, the shock structure changes from two parallel shocks to two sequential shocks at first, but turns to the datum shock structure at last. The stage efficiency and the diffuser pressure recovery coefficient of the sequential shock structural case significantly drops by 0.7% and 0.03 respectively due to the increased shock strength and thus the higher shock loss. It is indicated that the application of splitter vanes in the vaned region of the diffuser is beneficial when the induced friction loss from splitter surfaces is less significant or the reduced loss from the suppressed flow separation is more dominant, which is the case that the flow separation happens relatively downstream or the case operating at large incidence conditions.

Regulatory Coordination and Division of Labor in International Regime Complexes

In many issue areas, the presence of multiple international regulatory bodies creates obstacles to effective global governance. These obstacles take two primary forms: 1) regulatory arbitrage arising from legal inconsistencies, and 2) duplication of effort resulting from overlapping mandates. A growing literature on international regime complexity has documented these problems in a wide range of issue areas, but less attention has been paid to strategies intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) use to counteract them. In this paper, I explore when IGOs — as organizations have done in other contexts — engage in regulatory coordination and cultivate a division of labor to ameliorate the negative consequences of regime complexity. Using a newly collected dataset of IGO policy documents, I show that IGOs are likely to coordinate their rules when they share multiple members, when they have highly institutionalized structures, and when the regime complex contains a large, central IGO to serve as a coordinating focal point. Greater membership overlap also facilitates the emergence a division of labor; as IGOs become more institutionalized, however, they become less adaptable and are less likely to divide labor with other organizations. ∗Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Politics, Princeton University, Princeton NJ 08544.

Toxicity of three chemical extracts of black pepper fruits against two stored grain insect pests

Three extracted fractions from black pepper fruits, Piper nigrum L, in four concentrations were evaluated for their toxicity effects against stored grain pests, red rusty flour beetle Tribolium castaneum Hbst. and their stages, and Sitophilus oryzae L. , the adult rice weevil. The obtained results revealed that the etheric fraction caused higher mortality than that of two other solvent fractions, towards all target pests. The adult rice weevil was the most susceptible, followed by the larvae, adult > eggs > pupae of red flour beetle. The mortality percentage reached to 100% at a concentration 2.5% (w/w) after 21 day of treatment of adult rice weevil, while was 100% at conc. 5% (w/w) in same period in case of adult red flour beetle, and the LC50 between both adult pests were 2.43 and 3.52, respectively. The reduction in F1 progeny in all treatments were greatly significant and was higher than the mortality in low concentrations, ranged from 73% to 100% according to the concentration and insect. By using GC/MS analysis was found a functional groups and compounds in the oil, were determined and identified the main constituents which may cause the mortality, as well as their structures, formulae and percentages. The main components were monoterpenes, Sesquiterpenes, fatty acids and alkaloids, and some of effective constituents were α-pinene, Linalool, α-Copaene, Linoleic acid and Piperin.
Economics of cattle marketing on the socio-economic characteristics of cattle marketers in central zone of Adamawa State , Nigeria

Article Type Full Length Research Article This study examined the effects of cattle marketing on the socio-economic characteristics of cattle marketers in central Adamawa State, Nigeria. Data for this study were collected from activities of cattle marketers in the year 2012. The data were collected using structured questionnaires. A total of 120 cattle marketers were administered with questionnaires. From the retrieved questionnaires, 90 best well administered sample were selected and analyzed and this formed the sample size for the study. The result of the study revealed that 100% of the respondents were male while none is female and about 26.7% were found to be unmarried while 73.3% of the respondents were married. Hence, 56.6% had 0 to 14 years of participation in the business while, 43.4% were between 15 to 30 years. Also, on the issue of sources of capital, 6.67% of the respondents had their capital from personal savings possibly generated from various sources or other business. Those that depended on relatives accounted for about 21.1%. It was concluded that, marketing of cattle has improved the social and economic live of the marketers in the study area through increased income, wealth generation and wellbeing. This can also be improved further if an enabling environment for cattle marketing is provided in the study area. It is therefore recommended that Government and other lending agencies should do more in assisting the marketers with soft loan in order to reduce the problem of inadequate capital among the cattle marketers in the state. ©2013 BluePen Journals Ltd.
