Diversity analysis and structural modeling for some traits in wheat genotypes

Wheat is the most important grain crop in the world which provide people with almost 50% of the required calories [1]. Breeding programs aim to increase the selection efficiency by assessing more genetic variations among wheat genotypes [2], this can be studied through different methods of multivariate analysis such as principle component and cluster analysis. Principle component analysis is used to reduce the large number of traits to a limited number which represents the majority of the existent variation [3]. Al-Otayk [4] applied principle component analysis to study the variation in wheat germplasm, their results showed remarkable variation among them. Categorize germplasm in many groups depending on their variation is applied by Cluster analysis [5]. Cluster analysis was applied by Devesh et al. [1] depending on the agronomic traits of various wheat trait. Poudel et al. [6] estimated the diversity between wheat genotypes, their results showed that wheat genotypes were clustered in various main and sub main clusters. Sahu et al. [7] declared that correlation is used to just to illustrate relation between traits, but not for prediction of any trait, whereas path analysis considers as an efficient method for confirming the correlation depending on the effects and reasons of these effects and to eliminate any false effect. Abd El-Mohsen [8] mentioned that prediction of grain yield via other traits can be applied by regression analysis. The objectives of this investigation were to: (i) evaluate the magnitude of potential diversity between exotic and local wheat genotypes by using principal component analysis and cluster analysis, (ii) study the nature of structural modeling between grain yield and other traits via Regression and path analysis, (iii) define the superior genotypes regarding grain yield in various locations to be used in breeding programs.
On solving the slice-by-slice three-dimensional 2-tensor tomography problems using the approximate inverse method

A numerical solution of the problem of recovering the solenoidal part of a three-dimensional symmetric 2-tensor field using the incomplete tomographic data is proposed. The initial data of the problem are values of the ray transform for all straight lines, which are parallel to at least one of the planes from a finite set of planes. We consider two sets of planes, the number of planes in which are three and six. The recovery algorithms are based on the approximate inverse method.
Effect of different levels of nitrogen and potassium on growth and flowering behaviour of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.)

A field experiment was carried out during rabi 2018-2019, with 4 levels of nitrogen (60 kg ha-1, 80 kg ha-1, 100 kg ha-1 and 120 kg ha-1) and 3 levels of potassium (40 kg ha-1, 60 kg ha-1 and 80 kg ha-1) in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD), with 3 replications and 12 treatment combinations. An application of nitrogen at N4 i.e. 120 kg N ha-1 was found to exhibit significantly superior performance in respect of growth parameters. While, earliness in terms of flowering exhibited by the treatment N1 (60 kg N ha-1). In respect of influence of potassium levels, K2 (60 kg K ha-1) was found significantly superior for plant height (181.93 cm), number of primary branches per plant (10.86), number of secondary branches per plant (23.81), early flowering (66.80 days) and days required for 50% flowering (86.08) at 120 DAS. The interaction effect of N4 x K2 (N4-120 N kg ha-1 and K2-60 K kg ha-1) found superior for growth parameters.
Modeling salmon lice effects on sea trout population dynamics using an individual-based approach

Salmon lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis infestation of sea trout Salmo trutta results in both additional marine mortality and behavioral changes which may contribute to sea trout population decline. For effective management of activities that increase exposure to salmon lice, such as salmon aquaculture, it is necessary to have a full understanding of how salmon lice may affect sea trout populations. An individual-based model (IBTRUTTA) was therefore developed to investigate the potential effects of salmon lice infestation on sea trout population abundance and dynamics based on data from the River Halselva and Altafjord system in northern Norway. This model allowed investigation of the effect of lice-induced mortality and also the compensatory salmonid behavioral mechanisms of premature return to freshwater, either persistent for overwintering or transitory after which sea trout could go back to sea. It was found that, in the absence of compensatory mechanisms, even low rates of lice infestation could lead to marked declines in sea trout abundance. Compensatory behavioral mechanisms had the potential to reduce these de clines, but persistent premature return resulted in reduced body mass of returning adults. The shape of the stock-recruitment relationship was also shown to strongly affect how lice-induced mortality impacted the population.
Multiple aerobic and anaerobic baffled constructed wetlands for simultaneous nitrogen and organic compounds removal

AbstractThe objective of this study is to determine the reduction efficiency of chemical oxygen demand (COD) as well as the removal of -N and -N by the Aerobic–anaerobic Baffled Constructed Wetland Reactor (ABCW). The ABCW reactor was planted with common reed (Phragmite australis), where the hydraulic retention times was set to 1 d and was fed with synthetic wastewater. Supplementary aeration was supplied in designated compartments of the ABCW reactor to control the aerobic and anaerobic zones. The COD reduction efficiency was 98%, while the -N and -N removal was 36–98%, respectively, which was due to nitrification and denitrification processes. The outstanding performance of the baffled unit was due to the longer pathway as there is the up-flow and down-flow condition sequentially, thus allowing more contact of the wastewater with the rhizomes and micro-aerobic zones.

Sexual Fluidity and Attitudes towards Bisexuality

This research created an instrument to assess sexual fluidity-changes over time in attractions and sexual orientation identity and has examined whether experiencing sexual fluidity is related to specific cognitions, attitudes and beliefs among sexually and non-sexually fluid individuals. Participants (435 Spanish young-adult students, 310 females and 125 males) completed an online form which assessed demographic data, sexual orientation, sexual fluidity, and attitudes towards male and female bisexuality. An empirical sexual-fluidity factor has been isolated: women scored higher than men (d = .68) and bisexual people higher than homosexual (d = 1.74) and heterosexual (d = 1.40) groups. There were gender, sexual orientation and sexual fluidity differences in attitudes towards male and female bisexuality. Women considered male and female bisexuality more stable than men (d = .29 & d = .34); sexual-fluid people showed higher positive attitudes towards male and female bisexuality (d ranged .29 - .51) than the non-sexually fluid group; bisexual individuals scored higher in male and female bisexuality attitudes than heterosexual individuals. This study confirms previous researches which showed that females were more likely than male to have fluid sexuality. Attitudes about bisexuality are not a simple question; they are affected by gender, sexual orientation and sexual fluidity factors.
Statistical Study of Solar Activity Parameters of Solar Cycle 24

197 DOI: 10.37398/JSR.2021. 650125 2 4 2 4 Abstract: The solar atmosphere is one of the most dynamic environments studied in modern astrophysics. The term solar activity refers to physical phenomena occurring within the magnetically heated outer atmosphere of the Sun at various time scales. S u n spots, high-speed solar wind, solar flares and coronal mass ejections a r e th e b a s i c p a ra m e t e r s th a t g o v e rn solar activity. All solar activity is driven by the solar magnetic field. The present paper studies the relation between various solar features during solar cycle 24. The study reveals that there exists a good correlation between various parameters. This indicates that they all belong to same origin i.e., the variability of Sun’s magnetic field.
Historical contingency via priority effects counteracts environmental change on metacommunity dynamics across decades

Community ecology has had a strong focus on single snapshots of species compositional variation in time. However, environmental change often occurs slowly at relatively broad spatio‐temporal scales, which requires historically explicit assessments of long‐term metacommunity dynamics, such as the order of species arrival during community assembly (i.e., priority effects), a theme that merits further empirical quantification. In this study, we applied the Bayesian inference scheme of Hierarchical Modeling of Species Communities together with information on functional traits and evolutionary dependencies to efficiently explore the question of how ecological communities are organized in space and time. To do this, we used a comprehensive time‐series dataset from boreal lake plants and adopted the perspective that more sound conclusions on metacommunity dynamics can be gained from studies that consider a historically integrative approach over long timeframes. Our findings revealed that historical contingency via priority effects can profoundly shape community assembly under the influence of environmental change across decades (here, from the 1940s to the 2010s). Similarly, our results supported the existence of both positive and negative species‐to‐species associations in lake plants, suggesting that functional divergence can switch the inhibition–facilitation balance at the metacommunity level. Perhaps more importantly, this proof‐of‐concept study supports the notion that community ecology should include a historical perspective and suggests that ignoring priority effects may risk our ability to identify the true magnitude of change in present‐day biotic communities.
Antimicrobial and plant growth-promoting activities of bacterial endophytes isolated from Calotropis procera (Ait.) W.T. Aiton

Bacterial endophytes are beneficial to their hosts as they can fix nitrogen in the soil and make it available to the host. Endophytic bacteria also secrete plant growth-promoting hormones to support their host plants under normal as well as stress conditions. The current study aimed to isolate endophytic bacteria from different parts of Calotropis procera, i.e., roots, stem and leaves of Calotropis procera (Ait.) W.T. Aiton. Plants were collected from the Lundkhwar, district Mardan. A total of 12 bacterial strains, i.e., six from roots, three from the stem and three from the leaves were isolated. The strains were screened for their growth-promoting activity in rice plants because rice shows a quick and easy response to the bioactive compounds present in the culture filtrate (CF) of the potent endophytic strains. The rice plants were cultivated in pots containing 30 mL of 0.8% w/v water-agar medium. The pots were placed in a growth chamber, operated at 28 ± 0.3°C for 14 h (day); and 25 ± 0.3°C for 10 h (night), at 70% relative-humidity. Among the isolated strains, R1, S1, S3, L1, R5 and R6 showed visible growth promotion in rice plants. The biochemical analysis revealed that the strains were able to produce indole acetic acid (IAA) and flavonoids in higher quantities. Moreover, the strains also produced bioactive compounds that inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli and Aspergillus flavus using the well diffusion method. From the results, it was concluded that these strains can secrete potent compounds that can promote the host plant growth and inhibit the growth of pathogenic microorganisms and, therefore, can be used as bio-fertilizer and bio-control agents.
COVID-19 impacts on sport governance and management: a global, critical realist perspective

ABSTRACT This commentary considers the impacts of COVID-19 on sport governance and management, given the global threat to sport services and organizations evident as a result of the disease since early 2020. To frame this analysis of the impacts and lessons to be learned, we use a Critical Realist (CR) perspective, which takes a multi-level view of reality and seeks to establish how and why something occurs in reality [Byers, T. (2013). Using critical realism: A new perspective on control of volunteers in sport clubs. European Sport Management Quarterly, 13(1), 5–31. https://doi.org/10.1080/16184742.2012. 744765]. While the existing commentaries and emerging research on COVID19 have focused on a superficial level of reality (i.e. what stakeholder responses have been), a CR view encourages a more holistic account of what and why something happens. Specifically, this commentary contributes to the discussion of COVID-19 impacts focusing on sport governance, using a philosophy that encourages examination of what is happening in sport organizations, how different stakeholder’s perspectives and assessment of the legitimacy of COVID-19 may reveal underlying social structures and biases that help explain sport administrator’s responses and value systems. We hope this novel perspective on sport governance encourages readers to think of new ways of organizing and governing that is more inclusive of diversity (e.g. race, gender, disability) in sport.
Comparative evaluation on effect of drying methods on physicochemical characterization of wild bitter gourds Momordica charantia var. Muricata

Momordica charantia var. muricata has shown a higher rate of antibacterial properties due to presence of specific secondary metabolites. In this paper, we have used an indigenously built convectional drying system that unlike other available systems does not depend on hot air rather a different approach altogether. The physicochemical characterization is compared amongst vacuum-assisted convectional drying, freeze drying and microwave drying, using instrumental analysis and wet-chemistry. The pharmacological efficacy of wild bitter gourd (WBG) in treatment of various ailments and medical conditions inclusive of diabetes mellitus, is a research gap with limited in-vivo studies available. WBG has shown effectiveness against inoculums of gram positive and gram-negative bacteria even post this drying technique. The dried WBG showed appreciable antioxidant activity (DPPH) making it a viable option to be utilized as an ingredient in production of fried products to extend the rancidity period. The evaluation of physical properties including color, water activity, shrinkage ratio and rehydration ratio have been discussed. Retention of total phenolic content (TPC), chlorophyll and ascorbic acid, post drying was evaluated. The research aims to explore chemical potency and changes in physicochemical parameters of WBG upon different drying techniques. Practical Application: Since the medicinal value is higher; making it available for commercial production of nutraceuticals and pharmaceutical drugs, the product requires to be dried and powdered, and the nutritive composition needs to be evaluated. Utilization as ingredient in production of fried products to extend the rancidity period. The retention of certain nutritive compounds in wild bitter gourd powder (WBGP) can be utilized as value added product and as ingredient in development of functional foods and beverages based on its medicinal properties.
CAREER ADAPTABILITY, ENGAGEMENT AND JOB SATISFACTION: A PSYCHOLOGICAL NETWORK IN THE MILITARY EDUCATION CONTEXT

ABSTRACT Purpose: Evidence indicates that career adaptability and engagement are characteristics that improve coping with challenges inherent in a military career. Job satisfaction appears as a variable that interacts with both because it improves the maintenance of performance. The objective of this paper is to examine a psychological network (PN), including these variables. Originality/value: The interaction among these is well documented in the literature; nevertheless, it has not been researched in the context of military education. Information on the network can provide important insights for the development of strength-based training directed towards highly influential behaviors and attitudes of students. Design/methodology/approach: The research design was sectional and based on a quantitative analysis framework. A total of 962 male students from the second (n = 323; 33.6%), third (n = 345; 35.9%), and fourth (n = 294; 30.6%) years of the Academia Militar das Agulhas Negras (Aman), between 18 and 26 years old, completed our survey. Instruments included a demographic questionnaire, Job Satisfaction Scale, Career Adaptabilities Scale, and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale for Students. PNs were estimated for the complete sample and also for every academic year. Findings: One of our main findings indicates that the PN tends to lose connections across the academic years, especially considering job satisfaction and engagement items. Aman students might experience a natural process of disconnection from the academic environment and, therefore, constructs showing, for example, engagement for students lose configuration as a graphical community. A longitudinal study is needed in order to confirm differences detected among students from different years.
Reporting on individual experience

This paper proposes a new model for a patient-centred medical case report. Patient-centred approaches adopt the patient’s perspective and emphasise the individual’s experience of illness, and are intended to answer criticisms that medical texts for professionals, by focusing solely on a disease phenomenon presented within a framework of biomedical reasoning, depersonalise the patient and fail to engage in patient advocacy. The paper provides a systematic review of the most important strands in research on medical case reporting, taking a socio-cultural approach that focuses specifically on the evolution of the genre and on existing examples of patient-centredness that could form a basis for the new model. The aim here is to offer the first systematised proposal containing guidelines already available in the literature, as well as to provide recommendations on how to write about patients in medical case reports in way that does not depersonalise them.
Metal-Oxygen Hybridization and Core-Level Spectra in Actinide and Rare-Earth Oxides

We employ a combination of the density-functional theory and the dynamical mean-field theory to study the electronic structure of selected rare-earth sesquioxides and dioxides. We concentrate on the core-level photoemission spectra, in particular, we illustrate how these spectra reflect the integer or fractional filling of the 4f orbitals. We compare the results to our earlier calculations of actinide dioxides and analyze why the core-level spectra of actinide compounds display a substantially reduced sensitivity to the filling of the 5f orbitals.
Keimbildung in übersättigten Gebilden

1. Theorie. Der hier zu beschreitende Weg geht auf Überlegungen von W. Gibbs zurück, die seither bei Behandlung der Keimbildungsfrage unbeachtet geblieben sind1), obgleich sie eine Möglichkeit bieten, das Problem exakter anzufassen, als es bisher geschehen ist. Wir nehmen der bequemen Ausdrucksweise halber zunächst einen speziellen Fall, nämlich die Bildung der flüssigen Phase aus einem übersättigten Dampf eines reinen Stoffes (Phase a). Der Druck des übersättigten Dampfes bei der konstanten Temperatur Τ sei pr, während der kleinere Druck pm den Druck des gesättigten Dampfes, d. h. den Gleichgewichtsdruck über einer ebenen Oberfläche der zugehörigen flüssigen Phase (b) bedeutet. Der Dampf vom Druck pr ist nur unter gewissen Bedingungen, insbesondere nur bei Abwesenheit der flüssigen Phase stabil. Für diese Art von bedingter Stabilität ist der Ausdruck Metastabilität seit Ostwald gebräuchlich. Den Grund für diese Art der Stabilität hat man schon seit langem in den bei der Bildung der neuen Phase auftretenden Kapillararbeiten erkannt. Als ein Beweis für die Richtigkeit dieser Auffassung kann man die Rechnungen von Smoluchowsky*) benutzen. Wenn, wie es dabei geschehen ist, die Kapillarkräfte unberücksichtigt bleiben, so ergibt sich, dass eine merkliche Substanzmenge nie eine beobachtbare Zeit hindurch im übersättigten Zustand gefunden werden kann. Die Kapillarkräfte sind die alleinige Ursache für die Metastabilität. Es ist daher berechtigt, mit Gibbs als Mass der (Meta-) Stabilität eines übersättigten Gebildes, ζ. B. Dampfes, die Arbeit zu nehmen, die gegen die

The experiment entitled “Integrated nutrient management in vegetable cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.)” was carried out during summer season of 2018 at the Horticulture Farm, College of Horticulture, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Jagudan, Gujarat. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. Total fourteen treatments were evaluated in the present study viz., T1: 100% RDF (25: 50: 00: NPK kg/ha); T2: 100% RDN through urea; T3: 75% RDN through FYM + 25% N through urea; T4: 50% RDN through FYM + 50% N through urea; T5: 75% RDN through vermicompost + 25% N through urea; T6: 50% RDN through vermicompost + 50% N through urea; T7: 75% RDN through neem cake + 25% N through urea; T8: 50% RDN through neem cake + 50% N through urea; T9: T3+ Rhizobium @ 10 ml / kg + PSB @ 2.5 lit / ha; T10: T4+ Rhizobium @ 10 ml / kg + PSB @ 2.5 lit /ha; T11: T5+ Rhizobium @ 10 ml / kg + PSB @ 2.5 lit /ha; T12: T6+ Rhizobium @ 10 ml / kg+ PSB @ 2.5 lit /ha; T13: T7+ Rhizobium @ 10 ml / kg + PSB @ 2.5 lit /ha; T14: T8+ Rhizobium @ 10 ml / kg + PSB @ 2.5 lit /ha. Among various treatments, treatment T11 (T5+ Rhizobium @ 10 ml / kg + PSB @ 2.5 lit /ha) was significantly superior over all other treatments with respect to growth and yield parameters. The growth parameters viz., plant height at 30 DAS (23.72 cm) and 60 DAS (60.67 cm), number of branches (9.07) at 60 DAS and nodules per plant (19.87) and yield parameters viz., number of green pods per plant (58.65), yield per plant (117.24 g/plant), yield per plot (2.30 kg/plot) and yield per hectare (85.06 q/ha) were recorded maximum with treatment T11.
