Growth, Tubers Yield and its Nuritional Value of Potatoes aAs Affected by Cattle, Chicken and/or Chemical Nitrogen Fertilizer

Two field experiments were carried out during the two seasons of 2012 and 2013 to study the effect of nitrogen sources and rates (cattle, chicken and chemical) on the productivity of potato tubers yield and its physical properties as well as it nutritional values. The important obtained results could be summarized as following:  Applied organic manure and chicken manure gained the better plant growth characters (plant height, average number of leaves and/or shoots, fresh and dry weight of whole potato plants and its different organs. Moreover, the best results were shown with addition chemical nitrogen of compared with the both used organic manures.  The heaviest tonage yield of tubers (13.37 and 9.76 tons/fed., respectively, in 1 and 2 season) were detected with supplying chemical nitrogen.  The best physical tuber properties i.e. size and weight of tuber recorded its superior values with using chemical nitrogen followed in descending order by using chicken manure and lastly with using cattle manure .  The nutritional values of potato tubers fluctuated among nitrogen sources, where, the highest content of protein, N and P were detected with that plants received chemical nitrogen compared with that supplied organic manure. On the contrary, the highest Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu were correlated with the addition of cattle manure.  Increasing nitrogen rates within the range between 90 up to 150 units/fed. caused a constant gradually increase in plant growth parameters, yield and its components. It means that the best vigour pant and that recorded the heaviest best tubers yield were recorded with addition of 150 N units/fed.  The interaction within nitrogen sources and rates on the plant growth, tubes yield and its components in most cases no significant differences were detected in both seasons.
Evaluation of Agronomic Performance and Seed Oil Composition of 15 Sunflower Genotypes in South Madagascar

Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is one of the world’s most important oilseed crops together with oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.), soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr. ) and rapeseed (Brassica napus L.). Despite the 8.5% of world sunflower cultivation is found in Africa, just few studies on oil seed performances and their chemical composition were carried out in tropical countries, thus reducing the knowledge on the adaptability and performances of this crop in humid areas. In this study the agronomic performance, environmental adaptability, oilseed production and fatty acid composition of 15 sunflower varieties cultivated in two underexploited areas of the Plateau de l’Horombe in southern Madagascar were evaluated. Results of this study indicated that: 1) sunflower has well performed in sub-arid localities thanks to its adaptability to harsh conditions, with similar performances to those obtained in other worldwide countries; 2) the well-structured and fertile soil resulted to be the key driver of sunflower performances; 3) the most productive hybrids between the sites were PR63D82 (conventional typology) and Klarika for yield and oil content, respectively; 4) the oleic/linoleic ratio of both HO and conventional sunflowers was influenced by changes in temperature.

Comparison Among Three Prediction Methods for Safety Valves Design in Two-phase Flow in the Case of a Small Valve

In the case of twophase flow discharge, pressure safety valves (PSV) design becomes difficult due to complex thermal-fluid dynamic phenomena that occur between the two phases. Currently, there are two main types of prediction models, the Homogeneous Equilibrium Model (HEM) and the Homogeneous Non Equilibrium model (HNE), used for developing methods to calculate the theoretical mass flux Gt; this value has to be corrected by an experimental coefficient kd, termed as two-phase “discharge coefficient”, for obtaining the actual two phase mass flow-rate value Wr. Generally, for each method a different way of calculating kd is proposed, but various studies are looking for a general correlation that considers all the two-phase flow aspects. This paper will compare some experimental results obtained with a steam-water system and a small PSV (orifice diameter φor=6 mm) with the predictions of three methods, an HEM, an HNE and a more recent method, called HNE-DS, proposed by the ISO working group on PSV sizing.
Hemispheric differences in processing handwritten cursive q

Hemispheric asymmetry was examined for native English speakers identifying consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) non-words presented in standard printed form, in standard handwritten cursive form or in handwritten cursive with the letters separated by small gaps. For all three conditions, fewer errors occurred when stimuli were presented to the right visual field/left hemisphere (RVF/LH) than to the left visual field/right hemisphere (LVF/RH) and qualitative error patterns indicated that the last letter was missed more often than the first letter on LVF/RH trials but not on RVF/LH trials. Despite this overall similarity, the RVF/LH advantage was smaller for both types of cursive stimuli than for printed stimuli. In addition, the difference between first-letter and last-letter errors was smaller for handwritten cursive than for printed text, especially on LVF/RH trials. These results suggest a greater contribution of the right hemisphere to the identification of handwritten cursive, which is likely related visual complexity and to qualitative differences in the processing of cursive versus print. 2006 Elsevier Inc.

Business Cycle during Structural Change: Arthur Lewis' Theory from a Neoclassical Perspective

We document that the nature of business cycles evolves over the process of development and structural change. In countries with large declining agricultural sectors, aggregate employment is uncorrelated with GDP. During booms, employment in agriculture declines while labor productivity increases in agriculture more than in other sectors. We construct a unified theory of business cycles and structural change consistent with the stylized facts. The focal point of the theory is the simultaneous decline and modernization of agriculture. As capital accumulates, agriculture becomes increasingly capital intensive as modern agriculture crowds out traditional agriculture. Structural change accelerates in booms and slows down in recessions. We estimate the model and show that it accounts well for both the structural transformation and the business cycle fluctuations of China.
Steady-state entanglement in open and noisy quantum systems

We show that quantum mechanical entanglement can prevail in noisy open quantum systems at high temperature and far from thermodynamical equilibrium, despite the deteriorating effect of decoherence. The system consists of a number N of interacting quantum particles, and can interact and exchange particles with some environments. The effect of decoherence is counteracted by a simple mechanism, where system particles are randomly reset to some standard initial state, e.g., by replacing them with particles from the environment. We present a master equation that describes this process, which we can solve analytically for small N. If we vary the interaction strength and the reset against decoherence rate, we find a threshold below which the equilibrium state is classically correlated and above which there is a parameter region with genuine entanglement.
An Energy and Performance Aware Consolidation Technique for Containerized Datacenters

Cloud datacenters have become a backbone for today’s business and economy, which are the fastest-growing electricity consumers, globally. Numerous studies suggest that <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\sim$</tex-math><alternatives><mml:math><mml:mo>∼</mml:mo></mml:math><inline-graphic xlink:href="zakarya-ieq1-2920914.gif"/></alternatives></inline-formula>30% of the US datacenters are comatose and the others are grossly less-utilized, which make it possible to save energy through resource consolidation techniques. However, consolidation comprises migrations that are expensive in terms of energy consumption and performance degradation, which is mostly not accounted for in many existing models, and, possibly, it could be more energy and performance efficient not to consolidate. In this paper, we investigate how migration decisions should be taken so that the migration cost is recovered, as only when migration cost has been recovered and performance is guaranteed, will energy start to be saved. We demonstrate through several experiments, using the Google workload data for 12,583 hosts and approximately one million tasks that belong to three different kinds of workload, how different allocation policies, combined with various migration approaches, will impact on datacenter’s energy and performance efficiencies. Using several plausible assumptions for containerised datacenter set-up, we suggest, that a combination of the proposed energy-performance-aware allocation (<sc>Epc-Fu</sc>) and migration (<sc>Cper</sc>) techniques, and migrating relatively long-running containers only, offers for ideal energy and performance efficiencies.
Influence of Mineral NPK and Compost Tea as Soil Applications on Growth of " Aggizi " Olive Seedlings under Greenhouse Condition

This study was carried out in greenhouse of National Research Center, Dokki, Giza government, Egypt on olive seedlings Aggizi cv to study the influence of mineral NPK (0 and 25 %) and compost tea ( 0, 15 and 30 cm/ seedling ) as soil applications every 15 days from March to October on growth and chemical constituents of "Aggizi" olive seedlings under greenhouse condition. In general, application of compost tea at 15 cm/ seedling as soil drench with or without mineral NPK gave the best results for increasing all vegetative growth such as plant height increment % , number of leaves/ seedling, dry weight of leaves %, root length and number per seedling as well as nitrogen and potassium contents in leaf seedlings such as compared to control treatments without using mineral NPK or compost tea in growing season. Kew words: olive,seedling,Aggizi, NPK, compost tea, plant growth parameters and leave mineral contents.
Specific missense mutations in FGFR 2 , p . ( Ser 252 Trp ) and p . ( Pro 253 Arg ) , can lead to the autosomal dominant Apert syndrome ( OMIM 101200 ) [

In 1993, Jabs et al. were the first to describe a genetic origin of craniosynostosis. Since this discovery, the genetic causes of the most common syndromes have been described. In 2015, a total of 57 human genes were reported for which there had been evidence that mutations were causally related to craniosynostosis. Facilitated by rapid technological developments, many others have been identified since then.

Assessment of the relation between atmospheric precipitation and rainwater runoff for various urban surfaces

Abstract The relation between the diurnal sum of atmospheric precipitation and the diurnal volume of rainwater runoff from four experimental hardened surfaces was the subject of a pilot study conducted within the area of the Departmental Agro- and Hydrometeorology Observatory in Wrocław. The selection and the structure of the experimental surfaces were preceded with an inventory-taking of the coverage of hardened surfaces within a Wrocław housing estate with high-rise multifamily buildings. That estate was the second location, next to the area of the Observatory, at which the study presented here was conducted. The surfaces included in the experiment were roof surfaces P1 and P2 covered with heat-sealable roll roofing, surface APB made of gravel-filled openwork concrete plates, and tarmac surface AS. The pilot study was conducted during the period from April to November, 2014. During that period, depending on the type of experimental surface, from 81 to 87 days with atmospheric precipitation were analysed. The mean values of the rainwater runoff coefficients for the eightmonth period were 0.77, 0.77, 0.33 and 0.67 for surfaces P1, P2, APB and AS, respectively. The range of variability of mean values of the coefficients of rainwater runoff from the experimental surfaces in a month is presented by the following relation: APB > P1 > AS > P2. The study did not reveal any direct effect of the number of rainfall days in a month on the value of the coefficient of determination describing the correlation between the diurnal sums of precipitation and the diurnal volumes of rainwater runoff.
The Impact of Natural Disasters on Economic Growth

This paper estimates the impact of catastrophic natural disasters on economic growth using an event study methodology on a country panel dataset from 1970 to 2019. The severity of the events is determined by the associated mortality. We find that affected economies which, given the way natural disasters are ranked, comprise mainly developing countries, suffer an average loss between 2.1 and 3.7 percentage points (p.p.). The estimated loss is not offset by above-average growth rates in the disasters aftermath. In contrast, when the severity of the events is determined by physical intensity rather than by mortality, which implies a more balanced estimating sample of developed and developing economies, the estimated effects on growth are negligible. Thus, the negative impacts of natural disasters on economic growth are larger for poorer countries, suggesting that the impact of natural disasters on growth is an economic development issue.
Synthesis of 1-( Pyrrol-2-yl ) imine modified silica as a new sorbent for the removal of toxic metals from aqueous solutions

A new chelating matrix has been prepared by immobilizing 1H-pyrrole-2-carbaldhyde on silica gel previously doped with 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane. The new chelating material was well characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy, cross polarization magic angle spinning C NMR of the solid state, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm, BET surface area, BJH pore sizes and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The new surface exhibits good chemical and thermal stability determined by thermogravimetry curves (TGA). The synthesized SiNPr was investigated as an adsorbent for removal of Cd(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) from aqueous solution. The effect of pH and kinetic adsorption of toxic metals were studied. The process of metal retention was followed by batch method and the optimum pH value for the efficient adsorption of these toxic metals was 8. The adsorption capacity of the matrix has been found to be 27.85, 24.16 and 20.25 mg/g for Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) respectively. The extracted amounts were determined by atomic absorption measurements. The adsorbent can be reused several times without loss of its adsorption activity.
Salt crystallization in hydrophobic porous materials

This paper presents the results of drying experiments on hydrophobized calcium silicate (calsilb) beams in order to validate theoretical models describing salt transport and salt crystallization. Experimental data include results from moisture transport as well as deformation measurements of the beams. X-ray analysis is used to determine the moisture transport, SEM and EDX to localize and analyze the salt crystals. The performed experiments validate a crystallization model that was developed recently by Coussy. They also validate the poromechanical interpretation of the mechanical behaviour of the beams when influenced by the presence of moisture and salt crystals. A good agreement between measurements and modelling is obtained.
Charge-Transfer Cross Sections of Ground State He+ Ions in Collisions with He Atoms and Simple Molecules in the Energy Range below 4.0 keV

Charge-transfer cross sections of the ground state He ions in collisions with He atoms and simple molecules (H2, D2, N2, CO and CO2) have been measured in the energy range of 0.20 to 4.0 keV with the initial growth rate method. Since previously published experimental data are scattered in the low energy region, the present observations would provide reasonably reliable cross section data below 4 keV. The charge transfer accompanied by dissociation of product molecular ion can be dominant at low energies for molecular targets. In He + D2 collisions, any isotope effect was not observed over the present energy range, compared to H2 molecule.
Hydrodynamic Stability of Hypersonic Chemically Reacting Boundary Layers I

In these notes, an introduction to linear hydrodynamic instability in the presence of high-temperature gas effects is given. Focus is put on the effect of chemical reactions on the boundary layer and its linear instability. Results have been obtained from numerical simulations of configurations in which the temperature at the boundarylayer edge is low, whereas the temperature inside the boundary layer may be very high. Due to endothermic dissociation reactions occurring close to the wall, the near-wall temperature is lower in the case of chemical reactions. This reduction of temperature close to the wall also causes a reduction in viscosity in the near-wall region, which in turn causes the velocity boundary layer to be thinner. For moderately reactive flows, the effect of chemical reactions is indeed found to be very similar to the effect of cooling at the wall. This holds for both the mean flow and the evolution of small-amplitude perturbations. For strongly reacting flows including those in local thermodynamic equilibrium, the effect of reactions is more complex. Amplification rates as well as amplitude and phase functions from direct numerical simulations compare favorably with those obtained from linear stability theory, although such an agreement is certainly not perfect.
1 UTILIZATION OF ( DUCKWEED ) IN IRRIGATION WATER AS A REPLACEMENT OF SOYBEAN MEAL IN THE LAYING HENS DIET : PERFORMANCE AND EGG QUALITY

Water lentils (Duckweed)(DW)(Lemna gibba), in irrigation ponds, was evaluated by replacing two levels of soybean meal (SBM) on quality and performance of egg laying hens at 54 weeks of age. A total of 72 Lohmann white laying hens were randomly allocated into 3 treatments with 6 replicates / treatment 4 hens/ replicate in a randomized complete block design, with 6 blocks each 3 pens. Treatments were: control group (DW0%) with (SBM) as the only source of protein, T1 (DW10%) and T2 (DW20%) were duckweed replaced 10 and 20% of SBM for 9 weeks. There were no significant differene observed among the treatments of diet of change in body weight, conversion ratio of feed, mortality rate and weight of the egg. Replacement with (DW20%) significant decrease (P <0.05) in feed intake, egg laying rate and mass of egg. The dry albumin% in (DW10%) was decreased significantly from 7 to 9 wks and in the total period. Yolk pigmentation was highly (P <0.001) improved by the replacement. Blood spots were increased (P <0.05) with (DW20%). Duckweed grown in good quality irrigation water can be fed up to 10% replacement of SBM as a source of protein without negative effect on hen performance and egg quality in addition to profitability.
Oil Content and Fatty Acid Composition of Five Linseed Varieties Grown In Two Agro-Ecological Locations of Kenya Ms

Linseed oil is rich in the health promoting fatty acids, alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3) and oleic acid (omega-9), and is increasingly being used as a nutraceutical. However, there is limited linseed production in Kenya today, necessitating an increase in its production while ensuring a high content of the two fatty acids. This study aimed to determine the oil content and fatty acid profiles of five linseed varieties grown in a relatively warmer location, Juja, with that grown in a cooler location, Njoro, in two seasons (February-June and JulyDecember); as well as the effect of nitrogen fertilizer application on linseed oil contents and fatty acid profiles. Mean oil content was slightly but significantly higher (p < 0.05) in Juja than in Njoro (34.8% versus 32.5 %, respectively). Mean oleic acid content was significantly higher in Juja (24.2 %) than Njoro (19.0 %), while alpha-linolenic acid was significantly higher in Njoro (48.5%) than Juja (44.2%). There were intervarietal differences in both oil content and fatty acid profiles, and the significance of these differences were both season and location-dependent. Nitrogen fertilizer application had minimal effect on oil contents and fatty acid profiles. In conclusion, good quality linseed can be produced in both agro-ecological locations.
Capillary effects on wave breaking

We investigate the influence of capillary effects on wave breaking through direct numerical simulations of the Navier–Stokes equations for a two-phase air–water flow. A parametric study in terms of the Bond number, $\mathit{Bo}$ , and the initial wave steepness, ${\it\epsilon}$ , is performed at a relatively high Reynolds number. The onset of wave breaking as a function of these two parameters is determined and a phase diagram in terms of $({\it\epsilon},\mathit{Bo})$ is presented that distinguishes between non-breaking gravity waves, parasitic capillaries on a gravity wave, spilling breakers and plunging breakers. At high Bond number, a critical steepness ${\it\epsilon}_{c}$ defines the onset of wave breaking. At low Bond number, the influence of surface tension is quantified through two boundaries separating, first gravity–capillary waves and breakers, and second spilling and plunging breakers; both boundaries scaling as ${\it\epsilon}\sim (1+\mathit{Bo})^{-1/3}$ . Finally the wave energy dissipation is estimated for each wave regime and the influence of steepness and surface tension effects on the total wave dissipation is discussed. The breaking parameter $b$ is estimated and is found to be in good agreement with experimental results for breaking waves. Moreover, the enhanced dissipation by parasitic capillaries is consistent with the dissipation due to breaking waves.
