Correlation and Path Coefficient Analysis for Grain Yield and Yield Components in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) under Normal and Late Sown Conditions of Bihar, India

ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 7 Number 02 (2018) Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas. com An experiment was conducted during Rabi, 2016-17 at Pulses Research farm, Bihar Agricultural University, Sabour (Bhagalpur), Bihar to study the correlation and path analysis for grain yield and its component characters in thirty six desi chickpea genotypes. The correlation study revealed that grain yield per plant was found significantly and positively correlated with number of primary branches, number of secondary branches, biological yield, harvest index, 100 seed weight and days to maturity, under normal sown condition. Under late sown condition grain yield per plant showed positive and significant association with chlorophyll index, number of primary branches, total number of pods per plant, effective pods per plant, biological yield, harvest index and 100 seed weight. Path analysis revealed that revealed that biological yield, effective pods per plant, harvest index, primary branches per plant and secondary branches per plant had high positive direct effect on grain yield per plant under normal condition while, chlorophyll index, effective pods per plant and 100 -seed weight would be quite effective in improving chickpea under late condition. On the basis of mean performance the genotypes viz. Phule G-13110, HI2-55, GNG 2215, GNG-469, GN 2213, DCP92-3 and BRC-1 were identified as the superior genotypes for yield and yield attributing traits under normal condition while, the genotypes viz. PhuleG-13110, HI2-55, BG 3043, NBeG 507 and ICCV 15112 were identified as superior genotypes under late sown condition. The present study has clearly indicated the need for giving due weight age to high chlorophyll index, number of primary branches, total number of pods per plant, effective pods per plant, high 100seed and biological yield, harvest index and considered size of the seed and using these associated characters may be useful to the breeder to formulate appropriate breeding plans for selection of the genotype which tolerate high temperature condition while, under normal condition emphasis should be given on selection of characters viz. number of primary branches, number of secondary branches, biological yield and harvest index for improvement of grain yield.

Interannual variation in net ecosystem CO2 exchange and its climatic controls in a semiarid grassland of Mongolia

Year-round eddy covariance flux measurements were made in a semiarid grassland in Mongolia during 20092014 to examine the interannual variability in net ecosystem CO2 exchange (NEE) and its climatic controls. Annual cumulative NEE ranged from -20.9 to 8.1 g C m yr, indicating that the semiarid grassland ecosystem can be a carbon source or a carbon sink, depending on climatic conditions. A correlation analysis showed that interannual variability in NEE was significantly related to precipitation and soil water content at 10 cm depth (SWC10) in June and to the vapor pressure deficit (VPD) in July. In addition, the variation in gross primary production (GPP) in July contributed most to the interannual variation in NEE; and GPP in July was significantly related to June precipitation, June SWC10, and July VPD. From these results, we concluded that precipitation during the early growing season and air dryness during the middle growing season were essential climatic factors regulating the interannual variation in NEE in this semiarid grassland.
A study of the results related to the effect of FICB with LMA on femoral fracture surgery in primary and middle school children in Iraq

Hip fracture or proximal femur fracture is a very frequent operation in people all over the world. Occupation assumes 20-25% of trauma service beds in the world. It is responsible for disability, loss of quality of life and health, economic and social costs, and has a greater impact than other chronic diseases that afflict our population as different professionals are involved in the care of these patients, so coordination between different levels of care is key to the continuity of care. In addition, more than 85% of hip fractures occur in people over 35 years of age, and the incidence is increasing in the Spanish country; these fractures have increased continuously in the past two decades.
ENERGY, ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF WASTE-TO-ENERGY IN MALAYSIA

National human population, economy development and advancement of technologies have led to a high demand of energy. Despite this, depletion of conventional fuels and global warming crisis are hindering the government to fulfil the citizens’ needs. One of the options to solve the problems is by implementing Waste-To-Energy (WTE) systems which in general, can convert or process any type of wastes into energy. Apart from being an alternative energy resource, WTE is also able to relieve the conflict of disposal of wastes in the country. Therefore, this paper aims to review the energy, economic and environmental impacts of WTE in the country. As organic wastes are dominating the overall wastes in the country by 57.39%, this paper focuses on biomass and organic wastes such as sewage sludge, crop yield, animal wastes and municipal solid wastes (MSW) as potential source of energy.
Using repeated 137Cs and 210Pbex measurements to establish sediment budgets for different time windows and explore the effect of connectivity on soil erosion rates in a small experimental catchment in Southern Italy

Over the last 50 years, different approaches have been employed in order to predict environmental risk due to soil erosion and to propose effective strategies to control erosion and sedimentation. The use of fallout radionuclides, mainly caesium‐137 (137Cs) and excess lead‐210 (210Pbex), has proved to be a very effective complement to existing traditional methods, especially if a resampling strategy is employed. The resampling approach involves repeating soil sampling and radionuclide measurements within the same site, after a known amount of time (generally 10 to 15 years). This strategy, in the light of the possibility to obtain independent estimates of soil erosion for different periods, makes it possible to establish sediment budgets for different time windows. The use of sediment budgets represents an important tool for providing information on catchment behaviour regarding the relationship between the sediment output at the catchment outlet and rates of sediment redistribution within the catchment. For this reason, this approach can provide important indications of possible changes of sediment connectivity at the catchment scale. The study reported here focuses on the W1 catchment (1.47 ha), located in Calabria, Southern Italy, for which long‐term measurements of sediment yield are also available. The W1 catchment supports a rangeland vegetation cover, and no change in land use occurred during the last 100 years. The catchment was sampled for 137Cs and 210Pbex analyses in 2001 and resampled in 2014 to provide estimates of soil erosion and deposition for different time windows. The uncertainty associated with these estimates is also discussed, and some guidelines for the application of 210Pbex as a soil erosion tracer are provided. The results provided by the measurements of sediment yield at the catchment outlet provide evidence of a general increase of soil erosion rates during the last 15–20 years. The estimates of sediment redistribution provided by the measurements of 210Pbex demonstrated that these results reflect an increase in the sediment delivery ratio and also emphasized how the presence of some small depositional areas associated with the occurrence of high‐magnitude events influences the change in sediment connectivity at the catchment scale.

The Irony of Flood Risks in African Dryland Environments: Human Security in North Cameroon

North Cameroon, though located in an arid environment, ironically also suffers from the serious threat of flooding in the region. This article examines contemporary challenges resulting from frequent flooding in North Cameroon. Using Cutter’s “Hazard of Place Model” of vulnerability as the conceptual basis, the article triangulates data from a variety of sources to analyze environmental risks, social and biophysical vulnerability and flood impact, including flood risk management in North Cameroon. The findings reveal that North Cameroon is vulnerable to frequent flooding due to a combination of environmental, socio-economic, and geographic factors further compounded by low organizational resilience to flooding with dire consequences for livelihoods. We argue that, if not handled appropriately, the impact of flooding in North Cameroon risks trapping the population in a permanent and vicious cycle of destitution and poverty. The government urgently needs to review its disaster management policies to be more proactive and strategic in flood management in order to enhance human security and prevent permanent damage to the livelihoods and the micro-economy of the region. Lessons learned from this research, when applied, can help to reduce the vulnerabilities of the poverty-stricken population and enhance resilience to flood risks.
Management Style and Employee Turnover in the Insurance Industry in Kenya

Purpose: To establish the influence of management style on employee turnover in the insurance industry in Kenya Methodology: The study applied descriptive explanatory research design. The target population was 404 senior staff drawn from 48 insurance companies in Kenya. The sample size for this study was 197 respondents determined using Krejcie and Morgan sample size determination formula. Stratified random sampling technique was used to select 197 managers. The study collected both primary and secondary data where questionnaires were used to collect primary data. The study carried out both descriptive and inferential analyses. Results from analysed data were presented in tables. Results: The results obtained from correlation analysis revealed a negative significant correlation between management style on employee turnover in the insurance industry in Kenya at p<0.05. The findings show that management style and employee turnover in the insurance industry in Kenya had a strong negative and significant relationship (r= -0.574, p<0.05). The relationship was considered significant since the p-value (0.000) was less than the selected level of significance (0.05). The model summary results show that the R-squared is 0.733 which suggests that 73.3% of all variation in employee turnover in the insurance industry in Kenya are explained by changes in management style. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: Maslow's (1943), hierarchy of needs theory used in this study may be used to anchor future studies on describing how employees' needs are placed into five progressive categories, beginning with basic physical needs and progressing up to needs for personal growth. The study recommends that the management of insurance companies should always involve staff in making organizations decisions and programs and ensures getting their approval in important matters before going ahead. According to the study, policy makers should formulate policies that will ensure that insurance companies embrace appropriate management styles.
GPS Dropwindsonde observations of tropical cyclone low-level wind maxima

Mean wind profiles computed from Global Positioning System (GPS) dropsonde data[1] have exhibited a wind speed maximum located near 500 m above ground level (agl); however the wind profile observed by individual GPS dropsonde profiles is highly variable [2][3][4][5]. A group of 1131 GPS sondes were analyzed from the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific basins from 1997-2005 with an emphasis placed on evaluating the characteristics of low-level wind maxima below 200 m agl. Approximately 10% exhibited a maximum wind speed below 200 m agl, with nearly 40% containing the maximum below 500 m agl. A radial and storm relative dependence in the height of the wind speed maximum was also noted. The log-wind profile performed well when compared to mean composite wind profiles for sonde grouped by wind speed bin. In an effort to identify features observed by GPS dropwindsondes, Doppler Weather Surveillance Radar 1988 (WSR-88D)data were used to derive vertical wind profiles using the Velocity Azimuth Display (VAD) technique [6] (Browning and Wexler) for 9 landfalling tropical cyclones.
A CO2‐gas precursor to the March 2015 Villarrica volcano eruption

We present here the first volcanic gas compositional time‐series taken prior to a paroxysmal eruption of Villarrica volcano (Chile). Our gas plume observations were obtained using a fully autonomous Multi‐component Gas Analyser System (Multi‐GAS) in the 3 month‐long phase of escalating volcanic activity that culminated into the 3 March 2015 paroxysm, the largest since 1985. Our results demonstrate a temporal evolution of volcanic plume composition, from low CO2/SO2 ratios (0.65‐2.7) during November 2014‐January 2015 to CO2/SO2 ratios up to ≈ 9 then after. The H2O/CO2 ratio simultaneously declined to <38 in the same temporal interval. We use results of volatile saturation models to demonstrate that this evolution toward CO2‐enriched gas was likely caused by unusual supply of deeply sourced gas bubbles. We propose that separate ascent of over‐pressured gas bubbles, originating from at least 20‐35 MPa pressures, was the driver for activity escalation toward the 3 March climax.
Improving Performance in Mixture Porous Asphalt: Application Polyethylene-Terephthalate (PET) and Lawele Granular Asphalt (LGA)

Plastic has various types, one of which is PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) plastic, which is often used as a raw material for plastic bottles. One type of asbuton that is often used for road pavement is LGA (Lawele Granular Asphalt) asphalt. Repairs by adding asbuton to the porous asphalt mixture need to be done. This is because porous asphalt has several weaknesses, namely low strength or stability compared to other asphalt mixtures. The addition of PET and LGA waste to porous asphalt is a topic in this article. This research design uses a quantitative design with a type of experimental research. The results of the study concluded that: (1) The results of testing the characteristics of the constituent ingredients of the porous asphalt mixture meet the specifications of SNI, and (2) The test results of the addition of PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) plastic and LGA (Lawele Granular Asphalt) to porous asphalt mixture meet the specifications by RSNI 2 Design and Implementation of Porous Asphalt Mixture 2012. It is hoped that this research can be an alternative to the mixture of PET plastic waste and LGA asbuton in a porous asphalt mixture. In addition, the newness of this material is expected to also help the construction of roads.
Trajectory Interception Classification for Prediction of Collision Scope between Moving Objects

In the fields of autonomous navigation and vehicle safety, accurately predicting potential collision field points between moving objects is a significant challenge. A novel computing technique to enhance trajectory interception analysis is presented in this paper. Our objective is to develop a field model that can accurately forecast collision zones, improving road transportation safety and the use of autonomous cars. Our main contribution is a binary classification model called PCSMO (Prediction of Collision Scope between Moving Objects), which is based on zero-shot learning. Gann angles, which are typically 45 degrees, are used to analyze the trajectories of moving objects. This method is inspired by GANN (Gann Angle Numeric Nomenclature). Compared to earlier techniques, this model more accurately identifies potential collision collision interception zones. The technique computes Gann angles for trajectory analysis and extracts GPS coordinates of moving objects from video data using OpenCV. It offers a more sophisticated comprehension of object movement patterns and points of interception. To assess the precision, recall, F1-score, and prediction accuracy of our model, we employ 10-fold cross-validation. Comparing the PCSMO model to existing models, these metrics demonstrate how well the PCSMO model predicts potential collision zones. Our approach, we discovered, enhances trajectory analysis—a critical component of safer autonomous navigation systems. With potential applications in autonomous vehicle and UAV safety, the PCSMO model improves field interception classification.
Spatiotemporal Patterns and Synoptics of Extreme Wet‐Bulb Temperature in the Contiguous United States

Extremes of wet‐bulb temperature (WBT)—jointly reflecting temperature and specific humidity—have seen relatively little study in terms of climatology, despite their demonstrated relevance for health and economic impacts. In this study, we uncover and characterize distinct spatiotemporal patterns of WBT extremes in the contiguous United States for the 1981–2015 period, focusing on identifying and making a first pass at understanding regional differences. We find that anomalies of specific humidity are of greater importance than those of temperature in controlling extreme WBT in most of the contiguous U.S., particularly for southern and arid regions. Composites of extreme‐WBT days for each region reveal coherent sea‐surface temperature anomalies and midlevel and upper ‐level geopotential‐height anomalies that differ considerably between regions, particularly in terms of the resulting low‐level temperature and moisture fields. These findings suggest that the primary factors controlling the timing and intensity of WBT extremes, while ultimately forced by synoptic‐scale weather patterns, vary spatially according to both local geography and baseline climate. We demonstrate this conclusion by showing how regional features such as late‐summer WBT extremes in the Southwest and southern Great Plains derive primarily from spatial and temporal variations in moist low‐level flows.
Effects of rapamycin and curcumin treatment on the development of epilepsy after electrically induced status epilepticus in rats

Inhibition of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway has been suggested as a possible antiepileptogenic strategy in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Here we aim to elucidate whether mTOR inhibition has antiepileptogenic and/or antiseizure effects using different treatment strategies in the electrogenic post–status epilepticus (SE) rat model.
The prediction of colorectal cancer: Perspective of smoking and socioeconomic influence of culture in East Java with SEM analysis

Purpose: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a global malignancy with 10.2% of cases, ranking third in worldwide cancer cases. According to Indonesia Health Research, CRC's prevalence has risen significantly, reaching 1, 8 per mile in 2018, and reports rising cancer cases in the past 5 years. This study explores the relationship model between smoking, socioeconomics, and CRC, considering cultural moderation. Design/Methodology/Approach: Conducted as a retrospective study with 212 respondents, comprising 172 cases of left-sided colorectal cancer (left CRC ) and 40 cases of right-sided colorectal cancer (right CRC) from three cultural areas. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) employing Warp-PLS was utilized for data analysis. Finding: A significant positive relationship was found between smoking and CRC prediction (β = 0,081, p-value = 0,040). This pattern also applies to socioeconomic status and CRC prediction (β = 0,311, p-value = <0,001). The influence of culture on both relationships is not the same. The relationship between smoking and CRC prediction is not influenced by culture (p-value = 0,318). Conversely, the relationship between socioeconomic status and CRC prediction is influenced by culture (β = 0,078, p = 0,047). Conclusion: Poor smoking habits and weak economic conditions influence the prediction of CRC negatively in East Java Province. Unfavorable cultural practices further worsen the relationship between weak socioeconomic status and poor CRC prediction in East Java Province. Recommendations suggest that preventing adverse CRC outcomes can be achieved through smoking cessation and improving socioeconomic conditions. Preventive efforts to enhance socioeconomic conditions should consider local cultural nuances. Research limitation: This research is limited to a population group in East Java Province, Indonesia, divided into three cultural areas: Mataraman, Arek, and Pendalungan.
