Influence of Organic Manures and Rock Phosphate Combined With Feldspar on Growth, Yield and Yield Components of Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

: The work was carried out at Sids Horticulture Research Station, Beni-Sueif Governorate during the two successive fall seasons of 2011and 2012 to study the effect of organic manures, i.e., sheep manure ,farmyard manure and mixture between of both them ( a mixture at 1:1) at the levels of 10 and 20 m 3 /fed in presence of fertilization with rock phosphate and feldspar rates viz., (15P 2 O 5 + 25K 2 O , 30P 2 O 5 + 50K 2 O and 45P 2 O 5 + 75K 2 O) kg/fed on plant growth, total chlorophyll in leaves, protein and fiber percentage in green pods, green pod and dry seed yields and their components as well as chemical constituents in dry seeds of common bean cv. "Bronco" Results showed that the application of organic manures had no significant effect on plant height and leaves total chlorophyll during the two growing seasons. Sheep manure produced higher number of branches, protein percentage in green pods, pod length, number of seeds per pod and seed contents of phosphorus and potassium in the two growing seasons, Also, it increased leaf area in the second season, nitrogen and protein percentage of dry seeds in the first season. Also, farmyard manure improved fiber percentage in the two seasons. Whereas, applying sheep manure + farmyard manure significantly increased plant dry weight, diameter and weight of green pods, green pod yield , number of pods per plant, weight of 100- seeds and dry seed yield during the two growing seasons. Also, it gave the highest dry pod weight and weight of seeds per pod in the first season. highest of all plant growth characters, leaves contents of chlorophyll, protein percentage in green pods, green pods and seed yields and their components as well as dry seed contents of nitrogen, protein, phosphorus and potassium during the two growing seasons. On the other hand, organic manure level at the rate of 10 m 3 /fed increased fiber percentage in green pods in the two growing seasons. Fertilization with rock phosphate and feldspar with high rate ( 45P 2 O 5 + 75K 2 O kg/fed) markedly increased plant height, number of branches, leaf area, protein and fiber percentage in green pods and seed contents of nitrogen, protein, phosphorus and potassium during the two growing seasons. Plant dry weight, total chlorophyll in leaves, green pod and dry seed yields and their components were significantly increased with rock phosphate combined with feldspar at 30P 2 O 5 + 50 K 2 O kg /fed during the two growing seasons. It may be recommended to fertilize common bean cv. "Bronco" with sheep manure + farmyard manure at the rate of 20 m 3 /fed (from total mixed) and rock phosphate combined with feldspar at the rate of 30P 2 O 5 + 50K 2 O kg /fed , to pro-duce high green pod, dry seed yields and their components.
Wave Extremes in the North East Atlantic from Ensemble Forecasts

A method for estimating return values from ensembles of forecasts at advanced lead times is presented. Return values of significant wave height in the North-East Atlantic, the Norwegian Sea and the North Sea are computed from archived +240-h forecasts of the ECMWF ensemble prediction system (EPS) from 1999 to 2009. We make three assumptions: First, each forecast is representative of a six-hour interval and collectively the data set is then comparable to a time period of 226 years. Second, the model climate matches the observed distribution, which we confirm by comparing with buoy data. Third, the ensemble members are sufficiently uncorrelated to be considered independent realizations of the model climate. We find anomaly correlations of 0.20, but peak events (> P97) are entirely uncorrelated. By comparing return values from individual members with return values of subsamples of the data set we also find that the estimates follow the same distribution and appear unaffected by correlations in the ensemble. The annual mean and variance over the 11-year archived period exhibit no significant departures from stationarity compared with a recent reforecast, i.e., there is no spurious trend due to model upgrades. EPS yields significantly higher return values than ERA-40 and ERA-Interim and is in good agreement with the high-resolution hindcast NORA10, except in the lee of unresolved islands where EPS overestimates and in enclosed seas where it is biased low. Confidence intervals are half the width of those found for ERA-Interim due to the magnitude of the data set.
Spectra of black hole accretion models of ultraluminous X-ray sources

We present general relativistic radiation MHD simulations of super-Eddington accretion on a $10M_\odot$ black hole. We consider a range of mass accretion rates, black hole spins, and magnetic field configurations. We compute the spectra and images of the models as a function of viewing angle, and compare them with the observed properties of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs). The models easily produce apparent luminosities in excess of $10^{40}~{\rm erg\,s^{-1}}$ for pole-on observers. However, the angle-integrated radiative luminosities rarely exceed $2.5\times10^{39}~{\rm erg\,s^{-1}}$ even for mass accretion rates of tens of Eddington. The systems are thus radiatively inefficient, though they are energetically efficient when the energy output in winds and jets is also counted. The simulated models reproduce the main empirical types of spectra --- disk-like, supersoft, soft, hard --- observed in ULXs. The magnetic field configuration, whether MAD ("magnetically arrested disk") or SANE ("standard and normal evolution"), has a strong effect on the results. In SANE models, the X-ray spectral hardness is almost independent of accretion rate, but decreases steeply with increasing inclination. MAD models with non-spinning black holes produce significantly softer spectra at higher values of $\dot{M}$, even at low inclinations. MAD models with rapidly spinning black holes are quite different from all other models. They are radiatively efficient (efficiency factor $\sim10-20\%$), super-efficient when the mechanical energy output is also included ($70\%$), and produce hard blazar-like spectra. In all models, the emission shows strong geometrical beaming, which disagrees with the more isotropic illumination favored by observations of ULX bubbles.
Impact of different housing models on physiological responses of Saidi ewes under Upper Egyptian conditions

A total of 40 Saidi ewes were used approximately 2 years of age and had an average initial body weight (BW) of 40 ± 2.46 kg. Ambient temperature (AT) and relative humidity (RH%) were recorded simultaneously while measuring the physiological responses at the level of the surface of the animal. All physiological measurements were recorded at early morning at 6:00 AM and afternoon 12 PM. The lowest rectal temperature (RT°C) was recorded in semi open models at AM but results recorded that there was no significant differences in RT among the different housing models at PM. The highest temperature humidity index (THI units) was recorded in open and semi open housing models. The highest skin temperature (ST) was recorded in single roof housing model at AM. The lowest plasma total protein (TP) was recorded in open housing model and the same trend was recorded in globulin (GL). Results also showed that there were insignificant differences in albumin (AL) among different housing models.

 production on hydrocarbon in the few-GeV region using MINERvA

The antineutrino scattering channel ¯ ν μ CH → μ + π − X (nucleon(s)) is analyzed in the incident energy range 1.5 to 10 GeV using the MINERvA detector at Fermilab. Differential cross sections are reported as functions of μ + momentum and production angle, π − kinetic energy and production angle, and antineutrino energy and squared four-momentum transfer. Distribution shapes are generally reproduced by simulations based on the GENIE, NuWro, and GiBUU event generators, however GENIE (GiBUU) overestimates (underestimates) the cross section normalizations by 8% (10%). Comparisons of data with the GENIE-based reference simulation probe conventional treatments of cross sections and pion intranuclear rescattering. The distribution of nontrack vertex energy is used to decompose the signal sample into reaction categories, and cross sections are determined for the exclusive reactions μ + π − n and μ + π − p . A similar treatment applied to the published MINERvA sample ¯ ν μ CH → μ + π 0 X [nucleon(s)] has determined the μ + π 0 n cross section, and the latter is used with σ ( π − n ) and σ ( π − p ) to carry out an isospin decomposition of ¯ ν μ -induced CC ( π ) . The ratio of magnitudes and relative phase for isospin amplitudes A 3 and A 1 thereby obtained are: R ¯ ν = 0.99 ± 0.19 and ϕ ¯ ν = 9 3 ° ± 7 ° . Our results are in agreement with bubble chamber measurements made four decades ago.
Cubic trihedral corner entanglement for a free scalar

We calculate the universal contribution to the $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-R\'enyi entropy from a cubic trihedral corner in the boundary of the entangling region in $3+1$ dimensions for a massless free scalar. The universal number ${v}_{\ensuremath{\alpha}}$ is manifest as the coefficient of a scaling term that is logarithmic in the size of the entangling region. Our numerical calculations find that this universal coefficient has both larger magnitude and the opposite sign to that induced by a smooth spherical entangling boundary in $3+1$ dimensions, for which there is a well-known subleading logarithmic scaling. Despite these differences, up to the uncertainty of our finite-size lattice calculations, the functional dependence of the trihedral coefficient ${v}_{\ensuremath{\alpha}}$ on the R\'enyi index $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ is indistinguishable from that for a sphere, which is known analytically for a massless free scalar. We comment on the possible source of this $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ dependence arising from the general structure of $(3+1)$-dimensional conformal field theories, and suggest calculations past the free scalar which could further illuminate the general structure of the trihedral divergence in the R\'enyi entropy.
Optimisation of talcum powder formulation based on Nocardiopsis albirubida strain NA2 spores for biocontrol of Bipolaris sorokiniana root rot in durum wheat seedlings

ABSTRACT Bipolaris sorokiniana root-rot of wheat seedlings remains a serious worldwide problem. Spores of Nocardiopsis albirubida strain NA2 were bioformulated as talcum wettable powder (TWP) and clay-alginate pellets (CP) biofungicides before screening for their biocontrol effect. Based on their promising biocontrol results, the talcum powder biofungicide was selected to optimise the bioformulation parameters using the response surface methodology (RSM). The biofungicides TWP and CP significantly (P < 0.05) and respectively reduced the disease severity index (DSI) to 25.6% and 58.2% compared to a positive control (84.0%). Furthermore, the talcum powder biofungicide showed no significant differences compared to a marketed chemical control agent (Difenoconazole®). The TWP biofungicide was selected and a Placket-Burman screening design was explored to evaluate the composition for an optimised biofungicide. Two variables: washed spore density and talcum powder quantity, respectively, showed an important in planta biocontrol effect on B. sorokiniana. The RSM optimisation for the two influencing variables allowed a very notable reduction of the DSI, passing from 25.6% (standard formulation process) to 5.1% (optimised talcum powder biofungicide) by using 25 ml of washed spore suspension (≈107spores ml−1) and 125 g of autoclaved talcum powder. The coefficient of determination R 2 = 0.950 indicated that 95.0% of the response variability can be simulated with the suggested mathematical equation. The spore viability and the biocontrol efficacy have been demonstrated after 12 months storage. The TWP biofungicide based on washed NA2 spores open up promising applications for the biocontrol of B. sorokiniana root rot.
EVALUATION OF THE EFFECT OF SOME ANTIOXIDANTS FOR CONTROLLING AFLATOXICOSIS IN BROILER CHICKENS

This study aimed to evaluate the ability of antioxidants (curcumin and lipoic acid) to ameliorate the hazardous effects of aflatoxins in broiler chickens in terms of performance, liver and kidney functions, and histopathological structures as well as compare them with the effect of a mycotoxin adsorbent (Agrimos®), a specific combination of mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS) and ß-glucans extracted from the yeast cell walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A total of 120 broilers were used and divided into 5 equal groups (n=24), each group subdivided into 2 replicates (12 birds/replicate). control negative (G1) received the basal diet, control positive (G2) basal diet+ 100µg AFB1/kg diet; Curcumin treated group (G3) received control Positive + 1 g Curcumin /kg diet ; Lipoic acid treated group (G4) received control Positive + 300 mg Lipoic acid /kg diet; Agrimos treated group (G5) received control Positive + 1 g Agrimos /kg diet. All treatments were administered from 1-30 days of age. By the end of the experiment, antioxidants (curcumin and lipoic acid) ameliorated the harmful effects of aflatoxin on performance, histopathology of target organs and serum biochemical parameters in broilers as the same degree of improvement induced by Agrimos® (mycotoxin binders).
Effect of four conservative treatment methods on the muscular activity of masseter and temporalis muscles for subjects with temporomandibular joint disc displacement with reduction

Objective: This study was conducted to study the effect of four different treatment methods on the muscular activity of masseter and temporalis muscles of patients with temporomandibular disc displacement with reduction. Subjects and methods: Total 100 patients were selected. The selected patients were 64 females and 36 males with mean age about 31 years. The selected patients were divided equally into four groups: patients in group I were treated with behavioral therapy; patients of group II had a low-level laser therapy; patients of group III received anterior repositioning splints; patients of group IV received a flat plane splints. Activities of masseter and temporalis muscles were evaluated using surface electromyography (EMG). Statistical analysis was done using one-way ANOVA test for comparison between groups. Within each group, comparison between baseline and after treatment was done using paired t-test (p<0.05). Results : All groups showed significant increase in the muscular activity after 6 months of treatment except behavioral therapy group. The flat splint showed the highest value, and the behavioral therapy group showed the lowest value. Conclusion : Treatment with occlusal splints significantly increased the masticatory muscles activity, and the other lines of treatment can be considered as an adjunctive therapy.
Magnetic Structures at the Boundary of the Closed Corona: Interpretation of S-Web Arcs

The topology of coronal magnetic fields near the open-closed magnetic flux boundary is important to the the process of interchange reconnection, whereby plasma is exchanged between open and closed flux domains. Maps of the magnetic squashing factor in coronal field models reveal the presence of the Separatrix-Web (S-Web), a network of separatrix surfaces and quasi-separatrix layers, along which interchange reconnection is highly likely. Under certain configurations, interchange reconnection within the S-Web could potentially release coronal material from the closed magnetic field regions to high-latitude regions far from the heliospheric current sheet, where it is observed as slow solar wind. It has also been suggested that transport along the S-Web may be a possible cause for the observed large longitudinal spreads of some impulsive, 3He-rich solar energetic particle events. Here, we demonstrate that certain features of the S-Web reveal structural aspects of the underlying magnetic field, specifically regarding the arcing bands of highly squashed magnetic flux observed at the outer boundary of global magnetic field models. In order for these S-Web arcs to terminate or intersect away from the helmet streamer apex, there must be a null spine line that maps a finite segment of the photospheric open-closed boundary up to a singular point in the open flux domain. We propose that this association between null spine lines and arc termination points may be used to identify locations in the heliosphere that are preferential for the appearance of solar energetic particles and plasma from the closed corona, with characteristics that may inform our understanding of interchange reconnection and the acceleration of the slow solar wind.
Evaluation of Micro-shear Bond Strength of Glass Ionomer Cement to Silver Diamine Fluoride Treated Artificial Dentinal Caries

After selective caries excavation, silver diamine fluoride (SDF) can be used to stop the caries from progressing further. Aim: This in vitro study was directed to Evaluate Micro-shear Bond Strength of Glass Ionomer Cement to Silver Diamine Fluoride Treated Artificial Dentinal Caries. Material and method: In vitro study, carried out in Pedodontics and Oral Health Department, Faculty of Dentistry (Boys, Cairo), Al-Azhar University. A total of 36 teeth were used in this study for shear bond strength test were divided into four equal groups (n= 9). The collected data during the study were tabulated and statistically analyzed. Results: application of SDF resulted in insignificant increase in the micro-shear bond strength of RMGIC and GIC to the carious dentine. The cohesive failure of GIC and RMGIC alone or with SDF was the lower when compared to the adhesive and mixed types of bond failure. While, the adhesive bond failure mode was the higher among the investigated failure modes in the both groups. Conclusion: SDF did not adversely affect the bond strength between the GICs restoration and the carious dentine. SDF insignificantly increase the bond strength between the GICs restoration and the carious dentine. RMGIC has the higher micro-shear bond strength to carious dentine than the conventional GIC.
The relationship of the sense of coherence and distress tolerance with childbirth self-efficacy with the mediating role of body intelligence

Background and aims: Childbirth self-efficacy (CSE) reduces women’s fear over labor and increases their tendency for vaginal delivery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship of the sense of coherence (SOC) and distress tolerance (DT) with CSE with the mediating role of body intelligence (BI). Methods: This descriptive-correlational study was conducted in 2019 on 240 women aged 20–40 years who referred to primary healthcare centers in Maragheh, Iran, to receive reproductive care services. Sampling was done through multistage random sampling and data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the Lowe’s Childbirth Self-Efficacy Inventory, the Antonovsky’s Sense of Coherence scale, the Simons and Gahar’s Distress Tolerance Scale, and the Anderson’s Body Intelligence Scale. The SPSS and the AMOS software (v. 22.0) were used for data analysis through the Pearson’s correlation analysis, the Bootstrapping method, and the Sobel’s test. Results: DT, SOC, and BI significantly predicted 16% of the variance of CSE. The direct effects of DT (0.20), SOC (0.15), and BI (0.20) in CSE prediction were significant (P<0.05). Moreover, the indirect effects of SOC (t=2.72) and DT (t=2.46) with the mediating role of BI were significant. Conclusion: Women’s CSE can be improved through improving their SOC, DT, and BI.
Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio as a Novel Marker for Early Detection of Hypertensive Nephropathy and as a Predictor of Worsening Renal Functions in Hypertensive Patients

Background: Hypertension (HTN) is one of the most important causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and may also be the presenting feature of asymptomatic primary renal disease. However, a progressive reduction in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and increased albuminuria indicate progressive loss of renal function, an alteration of renal function is an insensitive marker of renal impairment because a major reduction in renal function is needed before serum creatinine rise. Low-grade inflammation plays crucial pathophysiological role in both hypertension and CKD. Objective: This work was aimed to study neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as a marker for early detection of hypertensive kidney disease and as a predictor of worsening renal function in patients with high normal blood pressure and in hypertensive patients. Patient and methods: This case control study included a total of 125 hypertensive patients and 50 subjects with normal blood pressure, attending at Department of Internal Medicine, Banha University Hospital. All participants were subjected to careful history taking, clinical examination, and laboratory investigations including NLR. Results: NLR was significantly higher among HTN group with low eGFR (3.2±1), followed by HTN group with normal eGFR (1.9±0.98) with p value = 0.019, while lymphocyte was significantly lower among HTN group with low eGFR (1.7±0.3) followed by HTN group with normal eGFR (2.2±0.5) with P value 0.005. Neutrophils and NLR were significantly higher among stage IV CKD patients (6.1±2, 3.3±1.1 respectively) followed by stage III patients (5.8±1.4, 2.9±0.99 respectively) with p values were 0.031, 0.022 respectively. There was significant correlation between NLR and blood pressure, urea, creatinine, eGFR, albumin/creatinine ratio, and CRP. Conclusion: It could be concluded that NLR can be used as a marker with significant sensitivity and specificity for hypertensive nephropathy at different CKD stages.
Studies on Genetic Selection to Produce New Genotypes of Mung bean (Vigna Radiata L.) by Gamma Rays and SCoT Marker

A power of genetic selection is for producing new pure strains of interest species. The interest genes that are specifically expressed must be identified to develop the criterion of selection. The short period of Mung bean development could adapt to a broad sense of different factors such as agro- and eco-systems, plant rotation, plantation, and variety of germplasm. Three field experiments were carried out under the condition of Egyptian soil between Branch of Genetics, Department of Agricultural Plant, Faculty of Agriculture, Al-Azhar University and Genetic Egypt on Mung bean. The genetic improvement and cultivars production of four strains of Mung bean was studied using gamma rays through selection and molecular studies techniques. The interaction between Mung bean strains and exposure to a dose of 40Gy of gamma rays had a significant effect on the characteristics of plant height (cm), number of branches/plant, number of pods/plant, number of seeds/pod, Pod length (cm), number of seeds/plant and total protein (%) at the level of significance (P< 0.05). The present research can provide the information of morphological and molecular characters of Mung bean. It is hoped that these finding are useful in new Genotypes confirmation. The position of bands by SCoT will provide the characters of identification of this plant.
