Interaction Effect of Organic Manures and Alkali Water on Yield of Wheat

Field experiment were carried out to investigate “Interactive effect of organic manures and residual sodium carbonate (RSC) water on yield of wheat” in rabi season (November-April) 2019-20 and 2020-21 in the Field of Agronomy, SKN Agricultural University, Jobner, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India using Split Plot Design. The treatment consists three levels of alkali water (2, 6,10 RSC mmol L-1), three organic manures (Control, FYM @15 t ha-1 and vermicompost @ 5 t ha-1) in main plot and four levels of iron (Control, 50 kg, 100 kg and 150 kg FeSO4.7H2O ha-1) in sub plot were tested with three replications. Result showed that the irrigation with 10 mmol L-1 residual sodium carbonate (RSC) water significantly decreased grain (26.02 q ha-1) and straw yield (38.15 q ha-1) of wheat in comparison to lower levels of RSC in water in wheat crop. Application of organic manures significantly increased grain yield of wheat during both the years and in pooled analysis. The highest grain (34.06 q ha-1) and straw yield (51.60 q ha-1) were obtained under vermicompost application and the effect of vermicompost (M2) and FYM (M1) application remained statistically at par with each other Interactive effect of RSC water and organic manure application on grain and straw yields of wheat was found significant and maximum being with W2 (2 mmol L-1 RSC), M2 (vermicompost @ 5 t ha-1) treatment combination indicating the magnitude of reduction in yields (grain and straw) being less with vermicompost and FYM at all the levels of RSC water.
Improving the Accuracy of Industrial Robots via Iterative Reference Trajectory Modification

In this paper, a novel repetitive control (RC) scheme is presented and discussed. The general framework is the control of repetitive tasks of robotic systems or, more in general, of automatic machines. The key idea of the proposed scheme consists in modifying the reference trajectory provided to the plant in order to compensate for external loads or unmodeled dynamics that cyclically affect it. By exploiting the fact that uniform B-spline trajectories can be generated by means of dynamic filters, the trajectory planning phase has been integrated within an RC scheme that is able to modify in real time the reference signal in order to nullify the tracking errors occurring at the desired via-points. Because of this mechanism, the control scheme is very suitable for the application to industrial plants with off-the-shelf, unmodifiable controllers. Experimental results obtained with a standard industrial manipulator both in joint space and in workspace show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Predicting glacier accumulation area distributions

A mass balance model based on energy balance at the terrain surface was developed and used to predict glacier accumulation areas in the Jotunheimen, Norway. Spatially distributed melt modelling used local climate and energy balance surfaces to drive predictions, derived from regional climate and topographic data. Predictions had a temporal resolution of 1 month and a spatial resolution of 100 m, which were able to simulate observed glacier accumulation area distributions. Data were stored and manipulated within a GIS and spatial trends and patterns within the data were explored. These trends guided the design of a suite of geomorphologically and climatologically significant variables which were used to simulate the observed spatial organisation of climatic variables, specifically temperature, precipitation and wind speed and direction. DEM quality was found as a critical factor in minimising error propagation. A new method of removing spatially and spectrally organised DEM error is presented using a fast Fourier transformation. This was successfully employed to remove error within the DEM minimising error propagation into model predictions. With no parameter fitting the modeled spatial distribution of snowcover showed good agreement with observed distributions. Topographic maps and a Landsat ETM+ image are used to validate the predictions and identify areas of over or under prediction. Topographically constrained glaciers are most effectively simulated, where aspect, gradient and altitude impose dominant controls on accumulation. Reflections on the causes of over or under prediction are presented and future research directions to address these are outlined. Sensitivity of snow accumulation to climatic and radiative variables was assessed. Results showed the mass balance of accumulation areas is most sensitive to air temperature and cloud cover parameterisations. The model was applied to reconstruct snow accumulation at the last glacial maximum and under IPCC warming scenarios to assess the sensitivity of melt to changing environmental conditions, which showed pronounced sensitivity to summer temperatures Low data requirements: regional climate and elevation data identify the model as a powerful tool for predicting the onset, duration and rate of melt for any geographical area.
Removal of methylene blue dye using Nostoc commune biomass: kinetic, equilibrium and thermodynamic study

In the present work, the elimination of the cationic Methylene Blue (MB) dye is reported using the dry powder of nostoc commune (NC). The results of the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis corroborated the presence of functional groups such as hydroxyls, carbonyls, and amines, which would be associated with the removal of MB. In a stationary (batch) system, the experimental parameters that affect biosorption, such as NC dose, pH, temperature, and initial MB concentration were evaluated. The experimental data of the isotherm fit better to the Langmuir model. The maximum biosorption capacity of MB of 158.7 mg/g was obtained with a dose of 1 g/L, pH 8, and contact time of 120 min. The kinetic data were better adjusted to the pseudo-second-order model, which indicates that biosorption seems to be controlled by chemisorption, the intraparticular diffusion model indicates that diffusion in the pores is the limiting factor throughout the biosorption process. The thermodynamic parameters indicated that at all the temperatures evaluated (293, 303, and 313 K) the biosorption of MB on NC was a spontaneous, favorable, and exothermic process. The results showed that NC can be used to remove cationic dyes from wastewater.
Bacteriocins : A natural way to combat with pathogens

Preservation of foods by natural and microbiological methods may be a satisfactory approach solving economic losses due to microbial spoilage of raw materials and food products, to reduce the incidence of food borne illnesses, and to meet the food requirements of the growing world population. Since many people are concerned about the safety of chemical preservatives are questioned with regard to their safety, the potential applications of bacteriocins from lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in food and health care have received increasing attention in recent years. Proteinaceous nature of bacteriocins implies a putative degradation in the gastro-intestinal tract of man, suggesting that some bacteriocins could be used as food preservatives such that bacteriocins have a wide antibacterial spectrum with potential applications in foods. Today nisin and pediocin have been used to inhibit some pathogens successfully and there are lots of research focusing on the finding new bacteriocins or new methods to use them in food systems.
Geology, floristics and paleoecology of Late Devonian coal swamps from Appalachian Laurentia (U.S.A.)

Des sediments contenant du charbon de la Formation Hampshire du Devonien superieur (Famennien) de la partie centrale des Monts Appalachiens, dans les Etats de Virginie occidentale et de Virginie, dans l'est des Etats-Unis, represente la premiere vaste apparition au Paleozoique de veritables communautes vegetales adaptees aux milieux marecageux. De grands marais de delta et de plus petits marais d'arriere-pays sont domines par la "prefougere" Rhacophyton. Des analyses de transects horizontaux et verticaux revelent que d'autres plantes ont contribue a la formation de la tourbe mais seulement parce qu'elles ont ete transportees pendant les inondations et les tempetes ou bien, a cause de la proximite entre ces marecages et des communautes de plaines inondees, a l'occasion d'empietements lateraux au cours d'une succession ecologique. Les donnees temoignent de l'existence d'une communaute de lycopodes arborescents, proche du marecage tandis que la plaine moins inondee portait d'autres arbres (Archaeopteris/Callixylon) a affinite de progymnospermes. Les marecages tourbeux de la Formation Hampshire sont remarquables par leur manque de diversite et par la communaute de lycopodes arborescents voisine. Ceci contraste avec les marais tourbeux du debut du Carbonifere ou soit les lycopodes arborescents dominent, soit la diversite est plus grande.
Miniaturized half‐mode SIW band‐pass filter design integrating dumbbell DGS cells

This paper presents the numerical and experimental results of a miniaturized half‐mode substrate integrated waveguide HMSIW C‐band pass filter with defected ground structure DGS, using two slots and dumbbell shape defected ground structure. These two slots which are etched on the upper plane of the SIW cavity are used to constitute a multiple‐mode resonator, and the dumbbell‐shape fractal DGS etched on the bottom plane can considerably enhance the filter's performances. The manufactured band‐pass filter in half mode based on SIW technology has a size nearly half of that of a normal filter. The measurements results obtained by CST in C‐band show that the manufactured filter has a large transmitted bandwidth of about 1.53 GHz from 5.97 to 7.5 GHz. The higher measured insertion is about −2.6 dB and the lower return loss measured is about −34 dB. The size of filter design achieved is 7.48 × 38.12 mm2 which make it the more compact in comparison with some published works at the C‐band frequency.

The Equation of Continuity and its Application to the Ice Sheet Near “byrd” Station, Antarctica

Abstract The continuity relationship that is often used in the study of ice sheets and ice shelves is developed by integrating the equation of continuity through the ice thickness. This equation is then integrated again with respect to horizontal distance from an ice divide, showing that the difference between the true ice velocity and the balance velocity, which is defined, is a measure of the time chance of the mass of a column through the ice thickness. The relationship is applied using data from along the “Byrd” station strain network, Antarctica. This region is found to be thinning slowly (0.03 m a−1 of ice of mean density) and uniformly, but it is still close to steady-state. The calculations would show a larger thinning rate if bottom sliding contributed more to the ice movement and integral shear contributed less, but the “Byrd” station bore-hole tilting results of Garfield and Ueda (1975, 1976), together with surface velocity measurements at “Byrd” station, indicate that most of the ice flow is by deformation within the ice mass. This large amount of internal deformation is more than that predicted by most “flow laws”, probably because of the strongly oriented ice-crystal fabric in the ice sheet. The cause of ice thinning is probably decreased surface mass balance beginning before A.D. 1550. The consistent relationship between measured velocity and balance velocity indicates that the ice flow is simple and that flow lines are in the same direction at depth as at the surface when considered smoothed over a distance of 10 km. Because the ice sheet is at present thinning, the balance velocity, calculated only from flow line and surface mass-balance data, and the somewhat mistaken assumption of steady-state is 15% less than the true ice velocity. This rather small difference confirms the use of balance-velocity estimates where velocity measurements are not available.
Targeted memory reactivation in human REM sleep elicits detectable reactivation

It is now well established that memories can reactivate during non-rapid eye movement (non-REM) sleep, but the question of whether equivalent reactivation can be detected in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is hotly debated. To examine this, we used a technique called targeted memory reactivation (TMR) in which sounds are paired with learned material in wake, and then re-presented in subsequent sleep, in this case REM, to trigger reactivation. We then used machine learning classifiers to identify reactivation of task-related motor imagery from wake in REM sleep. Interestingly, the strength of measured reactivation positively predicted overnight performance improvement. These findings provide the first evidence for memory reactivation in human REM sleep after TMR that is directly related to brain activity during wakeful task performance.
Antipsychotic polypharmacy and associated factors among patients with schizophrenia: Multicenter cross-sectional study in Northwest Ethiopia

Background Antipsychotic polypharmacy (APP) remains common despite guideline recommendations to minimize combinations, except after repeated antipsychotic monotherapy trials. This study aimed to assess APP and its associated factors among schizophrenia patients at comprehensive specialized hospitals in Northwest Ethiopia. Methods An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 422 schizophrenia patients at selected hospitals in Ethiopia from June to August 2022. The data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire. Study participants were enrolled using systematic random sampling. Data entry and analysis were done with Epi-data version 4.6. 1 and SPSS version 24, respectively. APP was determined by reviewing the number of medications based on relevant evidence. A multivariable logistic regression model was fitted to identify APP factors. Variables with a p-value of < 0.05 at a 95% confidence interval were considered statistically significant. Results From a total of 430 approached samples, 422 (98.1% response rate) eligible patients were included in the study. An overall APP prevalence was 22.7% (95% CI: 19–27). Duration of illness (AOR = 2.88; 95% CI: 1.49, 5.59); duration of treatment (AOR = 3.79; 95% CI: 1.05, 13.62); number of admissions (AOR = 4.93; 95% CI: 2.52, 9.64); and substance use (AOR = 2.58; 95% CI: 1.49, 4.47) were significantly associated with APP. Conclusion and recommendation In this study, APP was recorded in a considerable number of patients. Patients with a longer duration of illness and treatment, frequent admissions, and substance users need critical follow-up to minimize antipsychotic medication use.
Diabetes Distress and Self-Care Activities Among Patients With Diabetes Type II: A Correlation Study

Introduction Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a main, highly prevalent, and challenging public health issue. Suboptimal self-care for type II diabetes can lead to poor glycemic control, complications, and even death. Objective This study investigated the incidence of distress and its link with self-care habits of patients with diabetes type II. Methods A correlational, cross-sectional design with a convenient sample of 200 patients was used to conduct this study. Three questionnaires were administered: (A) the demographic and medical data questionnaire; (B) diabetes self-care activities in brief; and (C) the diabetes distress scale in Arabic language. Results The patients’ mean age was 51.78 ± 11.34; 80% of patients practiced lower levels of diabetes self-care, and 37% of them had a high level of diabetes distress. Self-care is associated with diabetes distress (R = −0.152, p-value = .032). Conclusion Self-care activities can help in the early detection and management of diabetes distress. Sustained self-care education is promising to minimize diabetes distress. The potential advantages of association between diabetes distress and self-care can offer self-care programs that enhance diabetes distress management.
Gossypium hirsutum gene of unknown function Gohir.A03G0737001 encodes a potential Chaperone-like Protein of protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase (CPP1)

A gene of unknown function identified in Gossypium hirsutum , Gohir.A03G0737001. 1, was studied using sequence and bioinformatic tools. The encoded protein (referred to here as GhCPP1-A0A1U8HKT6) was predicted to function as a Chaperone-like protein of protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase (CPP1), which is involved with initiation of photochemical reactions of chlorophyll biosynthesis. Sequence analysis indicates it is embedded in the chloroplast envelope membrane through four transmembrane regions and contains a J-like domain that is structurally similar to the J domain of DnaJ/Hsp40 “holdase” chaperone proteins.
Socioeconomic Assessment of a Tsetse and Trypanosomosis Control Program in Southwest Ethiopia

A socioeconomic study was made to assess the outcome of a tsetse and trypanosomosis control operation conducted in Chewaka settlement station, Southwest Ethiopia, during 2005-2007 through comparisons of data before and after the control program within Chewaka, and between Chewaka and a non-controlled adjacent site, Bikiltu Didessa peasant Association. Retrospective and crossectional questionnaire survey methods were used to generate data for the study. Results showed that the total livestock and cattle population in chewaka increased by 116% and 1039 %, respectively, and the total cereal production increased by 63.2 %. During this period the overall livestock and cattle population in Bikiltu decreased by 45.7% and 47.5%, respectively, and the total cereal production declined by 35.6%. The average number of cattle bought per house hold per year in Chewaka, 1.15 head, was significantly higher (P=0.000) than the average number of 0.55 head in Bikiltu. The chances of cattle and oxen mortality in Bikiltu were 10 and 6 times (OR= 6.5 and 10.2) more likely than in Chewaka and the chance of abortion in cows in Bikiltu was more than 10 times as compared to Chewaka (OR=10.79). The control operation in chewaka settlement station resulted in rapid growth of livestock and crop production, fast expansion of farmland, improved income from animal sell and increased animal purchasing power.
Reconstruction of Early Paleogene North Pacific Deep-Water Circulation using the Neodymium Isotopic Composition of Fossil Fish Debris

Reconstruction of Early Paleogene North Pacific Deep-Water Circulation Using the Neodymium Isotopic Composition of Fossil Fish Debris. (August 2011) Ashley Melissa Hague, B.S., Indiana University of Pennsylvania Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Deborah J. Thomas To better understand the operating mode of the deep oceans during fundamentally warm climate intervals, we present new Nd isotope data from Deep Sea Drilling Project and Ocean Drilling Program sites in the North Pacific to expand the reconstruction of water mass composition and structure during the early Cenozoic. Fossil fish debris from Sites 192, 464, 465, 883, 884 and 1208 (paleowater depths spanning 900 to 4000 m) were used to reconstruct the water mass composition from ~85 to 30 Ma. The fish debris is shown to not be overprinted as there was no systematic offset between the detrital silicate and the fish debris composition. Cleaned and uncleaned fish debris were both included in the reconstruction of water mass composition as they were found to record the same Nd isotope composition. North Pacific deep water convection occurred from ~67 to 45 Ma, the peak in production is recorded by broadly coincident trends at Sites 192, 464 and 883. Further support for North Pacific deep-water convection during the early Paleogene are the geographic trends in detrital silicate versus fish debris composition, greater separation at the more northerly Emperor Seamount sites, and the location of the most radiogenic detrital values at the Emperor Seamount sites. The Emperor Seamount chain likely played a major role in the flow of the North Pacific deep-water mass as it acted as a physical barrier to flow at deep-water sites compared to shallow depths (albeit still deep-water). εNd values indicate the timing of the cessation of major, deep convection in the North Pacific occurred much earlier, ~52 Ma than the timing obtained from shallower Shatsky Rise
