Effect of Planting Patterns and Nk Fertilizers Levels under Two Planting Date on Yield and Yield Components of Egyptian cotton In Middle Egypt

Two separate field experiments were conducted during 2019 and 2020 seasons, at Mallawi region, Minia Governorate, Egypt, to study the effect of two planting date, four planting patterns and three NK fertilizer levels on yield and yield components of Egyptian cotton (Gossypium barbadense, L.) promising hybrid cotton (CB58 X Giza 90). The results could be summarized as follows: Planting date at 20 March was significantly increase of No. of fruiting branches plant, No. of open bolls plant, Boll weight, Seed index, Lint (%), Seed cotton yield plant, Seed cotton yield fed in both seasons. Whereas, planting date at 20 April were significantly increase of Plant height, in two season. Regarding planting patterns was significantly effect on plant height, No. of fruiting branches plant, No. of open bolls plant, Boll weight, Seed index, Lint (%), Seed cotton yield plant, Seed cotton yield fed in the both seasons. Concerning NK fertilizer levels had a significant effect on plant height, No. of fruiting branches plant, No. of open bolls plant, Boll weight, Seed index, Lint (%), Seed cotton yield plant, Seed cotton yield fed in the both seasons. Boll weight, seed index and seed cotton yield fed in the first season and seed cotton yield plant in the second season were affected by the interaction between planting date and planting patterns. Moreover, plant height and No. open bolls plant were affected by the interaction between planting date and NK fertilizer levels in the first and second seasons, respectively. While, plant height and No. open bolls plant were affected by the interaction between planting patterns and NK fertilizer levels in the first and second seasons, respectively. Regarding the interaction effect, among planting date, planting patterns and NK fertilizer levels were significant differences of No. fruiting branches plant in the first season only. It can be concluded that early planting, 130 cm bed width + 30 cm hill space planted in two sides and fertilized by 75 kg N + 48 kg K2O fed under the conditions of the experiment.
Mams, moms, mums: lone mothers’ accounts of management strategies

ABSTRACT Management strategies are typically associated with economic goals and neglect how women’s daily lives incorporate non-economic goals. To illustrate this point, the paper draws on the narratives of 32 lone mothers who have to confront various constraints in terms of how they manage the resources at their disposal paying particular attention to how their subjective accounts impact on their conceptions of the mothering role. Mothers continually strive to make decisions based on how they consider, negotiate and balance economic and non-economic responsibilities. Based on the women’s narratives, the women were categorised into three core groups: MAMs (mothers actively managing), MOMs (mothers only managing) and MUMs (mothers under managing). This typology is used to identify and explore factors that enable women to counter constraints, intensify agency and thereby enhance their ability to make decisions they believe are right for them and their families. In the process, the women demonstrate how they perceive motherhood and how their subjective evaluations of their ability/inability to match their expectations are fundamental to their sense of well-being in terms of managing everyday life.

CITRULLINURIA.

A heretofore undescribed disorder manifested by mental retardation, citrullinuria, hypercitrullinemia, and hyperammonemia is reported. Dietary studies show a direct relationship between protein intake and urinary citrulline excretion. Citrulline excretion occurs as an overflow mechanism with plasma citrulline being maintained at about 25 mg/100 ml. Loading studies suggest that the ornithine urea cycle is functioning; high post-absorptive blood ammonia levels indicate that little reserve capacity for urea formation is present.
VARIOUS GROWTH PERFORMANCE AND CARCASS TRAITS OF BROILER CHICKENS FED WITH GRADED LEVEL OF ASPILIA AFRICANA FOR 8 WEEKS

Considerable controversy still remains on the use of antimicrobials to promote growth in food animal production. Therefore, alternative strategies have been actively researched to replace these antimicrobials. This study evaluated the growth performance and carcass traits of broilers fed different level of inclusion of dried and grinded Aspilia africana leaf in a completely randomized design. The powdered Aspillia africana was mixed with the broilers feed throughout the period of the experiment. A total number of 120 day old- broiler chicks were used and divided into 4 different groups (A, B, C and Control) with (50g, 60g, 70g and 0g respectively) of/kg of feed and lasted for 8 weeks. The feed intake of the birds in various groups were also measured daily throughout the period of the experiment, the carcass value of the birds were evaluated at the 8 th week of the experiment. Data were obtained on body weight, feed intake, weight gain and carcass values of the birds were compared and contrasted between the groups. However, the growth performance, carcass characteristics (primal cuts and organ weights) of the birds were significantly different (P<0.005) in the three treatment groups. The effect of A. Africana on the birds fed with the highest proportion showed the highest significant difference. It was concluded that A. Africana as a growth promoter could be a useful, cheap and readily available agent in poultry farming.
Mucosal Epithelial Preservation of Free Nasal Grafts Depending on the Recipient Site

Reconstruction of mucosal defects using free mucosal grafts has become a common procedure during endoscopic sinus surgery. Epithelialization of mucosal grafts affects postoperative complications and outcomes, which could be influenced by different recipient tissue. However, morphological changes occurring in the grafts transplanted over different tissues remain unexplored.
Closure of oroantral fistula: Comparison between buccal fat pad and buccal advancement flap: A clinical study

Background: The oro antral fistula (OAF) is an unnatural epithelialized communication between oral cavity and maxillary sinus. It may heal spontaneously but a larger fistula requires surgical intervention. OAF causes excruciating pain, escape of fluids from nose, escape of air from mouth into nose, epistaxis, change in voice due to resonance, purulent discharge in case of chronic OAF, post nasal discharge, popping out of antral polyp into oral cavity and sinusitis. Closure of OAF is strenuous, technique sensitive and challenging. Aims and Objectives: To compare and evaluate the efficacy of buccal fat pad and buccal advancement pad for closure of oroantral fistula. Materials and Methods: Twenty patients of age ranging from 24–64 years with complaint of OAF were included in this prospective, comparative analytic study. In group I, OAF was treated with a buccal advancement flap and in group II, BFP was sutured over the defect. All patients were called for follow up on 1st, 7th, 14th and 21st day post operatively. Pain, mouth opening, edema, infection and wound dehiscence were evaluated on each visit. Result: The mean age of selected patients in both the treatment groups was comparable. The mean age of patients in group I was 45.00 ± 13.33 years whereas in group II the mean age was 44.00 ± 13.13 years. Pain, edema was less in Group I. Mouth opening was less in group II. We did not encountered infection and wound dehiscence in any case. Conclusion: Various techniques can be utilized for the closure; regardless of the technique used, success of the surgical procedure depends on effective removal of fistulous tract and complete extermination of any sinus pathology and/or infection. The major factors determining the type of surgery for closure of OAF are dimension and location of the defect. The other decisive factors could be the adequacy and health of adjoining tissue. We observed buccal fat pad to be better option for closure of OAF, despite of its more morbidity; as all the complications were of some time period and when evaluated for long term.
Resonant Interaction of a Rectangular Jet with a Flat-Plate

A resonant interaction between a large aspect ratio rectangular jet and a flat-plate is addressed in this experimental study. The plate is placed parallel to but away from the direct path of the jet. At high subsonic conditions and for certain relative locations of the plate, the resonance accompanied by an audible tone is encountered. The trends of the tone frequency variation exhibit some similarities to, but also marked differences from, corresponding trends of the well-known edgetone phenomenon. Under the resonant condition flow visualization indicates a periodic flapping motion of the jet column. Phase-averaged Mach number data obtained near the plate’s trailing edge illustrate that the jet cross-section goes through large contortions within the period of the tone. Farther downstream a clear ‘axis switching’ takes place. These results suggest that the assumption of two-dimensionality should be viewed with caution in any analysis of the flow.
Housing Expenditure and Income Inequality

The trend of rising income inequality in Germany since the mid-1990s is strongly amplified when considering income after housing expenditure. The income share of housing expenditure rose disproportionally for the bottom income quintile and fell for the top quintile. Factors contributing to these trends include declining relative costs of homeownership versus renting, changes in household structure, declining real incomes for low-income households, and residential mobility towards larger cities. Younger cohorts spend more on housing and save less than older cohorts did at the same age, which will affect future wealth accumulation, particularly at the bottom of the income distribution.
Stochastic models for simulation of strong ground motion in Iceland

Two types of modelling approaches for simulating ground motion in Iceland are studied and compared. The first type of models, named discrete‐time series models (ARMA), are based solely on measured acceleration in earthquakes occurring in Iceland. The second type of models are based on a theoretical seismic source model called the extended Brune model. Based on measured acceleration in Iceland during the period 1986–1996, the parameters for the extended Brune models have been estimated. The seismic source models are presented here as ARMA models, which simplifies the simulation process. A single‐layer soil amplification model is used in conjunction with the extended Brune model to estimate local site amplification. Emphasis is put on the ground motion models representing the variability in the measured earthquakes, with respect to energy, duration and frequency content. Demonstration is made using these models for constructing linear and non‐linear probabilistic response spectra using a discretised version of the Bouc–Wen model for the hysteresis of the second‐order system.

Sub-micron gap in-plane micromechanical resonators based on low-temperature amorphous silicon thin-films on glass substrates

In this work, high-frequency bulk mode resonators made from low stress hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a–Si:H) thin-films are demonstrated. The microelectromechanical structures are fabricated using surface micromachining techniques at a maximum processing temperature of 175 °C on glass substrates. The silicon thin-film based resonators presented here are temperature compatible with post processing on standard CMOS. The resonators are capacitively driven and sensed across 400 nm air gaps. A proof of concept design consisting of a 200 µm side length square has been selectively excited in the Lamé-mode at a characteristic vibration frequency of 13.64 MHz. The quality factor of the resonators is in the 103 range and the motional resistance was measured to be approximately 21.8 MΩ at a DC bias voltage of 40 V.
Anatomy, Palynology and Micromorphology of the Genus Astragalus L. (Fabaceae) Section Uliginosi Gray in Turkey

: The anatomical, palynological and leaflet and fruit micromorphological properties of two Astragalus L. species, namely A. falcatus Lam. and A. odoratus Lam. attributed to the section Uliginosi Gray (Fabaceae) from Turkey were considered via light (LM) and scanning electron microscopies (SEM) in order to determine their these characteristics and to assess the diagnostic value of these properties as taxonomic evidence. The leaflets type in terms of the anatomy, the type of stomata and trichomes, the shape and aperture of pollen grains and also the surface ornamentation of the fruits and trichomes are similar in these two species. Anatomical features such as the shape of the stem and petiole, the absence or presence of pith cavity in the stem and the number of vascular bundles in the petiole possess a systematic importance. Bifurcate trichomes are present on both surfaces of the leaflets. The ornamentation of trichomes is verrucate. The surface pattern of fruits is reticulate. The pollen grains are isopolar, radially symmetrical, trizonocolporate and prolate-spheroidal. Exine sculpturing is found to be a valuable characteristic for separating these species.
The moral side of the climate crisis: the effect of moral conviction on learning about climate change

ABSTRACT Objective Moral convictions have been shown to impact learning about science topics including evolution and COVID-19. However, how moral convictions influence learning about climate change – another science topic perceived as controversial – has not been studied in depth. The goal of our research was to investigate the predictive relationship between moral convictions, engagement, plausibility, emotions, and knowledge when learning about climate change. Method Undergraduate pre-service teacher students (N = 348) rated their moral convictions about climate change and read a refutation text on the topic. Results The majority of students indicated that acting to mitigate climate change was a moral imperative (n = 268) compared with those without a position (n = 80). Results indicate that whether an individual perceives acting on climate change as morally imperative is a powerful precursor to their learning experience. Moreover, those who developed a stronger moral conviction indicated deeper learning, engagement, and stronger negative emotions. Finally, stronger moral convictions, emotions, knowledge, and engagement all predicted seeing the scientific model of climate change as more plausible. Conclusion Taken together, our results have implications for how moral convictions may influence how educators should engage students and the general public about the topic of climate change.
Adaptive mesh refinement based numerical simulation of detonation initiation in supersonic combustible mixtures using a hot jet

An open-source program implementing a block-structured adaptive mesh refinement method was adopted for the fine structure numerical simulation of detonation initiation in supersonic combustible mixtures. Simulations were conducted on a nested parallel computing system. The initiation process was specified as three stages, and their respective flow field characteristics were analyzed. Results indicate that a hot jet under specific conditions can have a similar effect as a pneumatic oblique bevel for inducing periodical shock-induced detonative combustion by a bow shock. The interaction of bow shock–induced combustion with the local detonation wave, produced by the reflection shock on the upper wall, can create a structure with two triple-wave points. The hot jet not only plays a role in the detonation initiation but also acts as a stabilizing control mechanism for detonation propagation. In the simulations in this study, the detonation wave propagates in an overdriven state initially and achieves self-sustaining motion after the shutdown of the hot jet. Subsequently, the final pisiform structure of typical stable Chapman-Jouguet detonation cells is formed.
Do Changes in the Exchange Rate Have an Asymmetric Effect on the Trade Balance between Vietnam and Japan?

The paper examines the impact of changes in the exchange rate on Vietnam’s trade balance with Japan based on the employment of both aggregate and industry-level data in a set of linear and nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag models. The results from the models indicate a degree of bias in regression when using aggregate data and a linear ARDL approach. Among the 19 industries under consideration, the NARDL model presents different responses to exchange rate movements from 16 industries, which account for 46% of imports and 63% of exports between Vietnam and Japan. Using aggregate data, the model shows that the exchange rate positively affects the Vietnam-Japan trade balance in the case of currency depreciation, whereas currency appreciation has no impact on the trade balance. Thus, it is concluded that the exchange rate is an effective tool to stimulate exports and improve the trade balance between Vietnam and Japan.
Changing risk preferences in supply chain inventory decisions

The risk preferences of managers may cause their inventory ordering decisions to deviate from the optimal policy. Past studies in operations management have produced mixed results. This study examines this proposition using decision data collected from a supply chain experiment. This article finds that changing the risk preferences of managers with respect to demand changes and supplier failures is a significant behavioural factor in explaining deviations in ordering decisions. This result provides an additional behavioural cause in explaining the bullwhip effect in supply chains. It also provides insights on the challenges for reducing the bullwhip effect in supply chains.
THE WEPP WATERSHED MODEL: III. COMPARISONS TO MEASURED DATA FROM SMALL WATERSHEDS

The Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) watershed scale model was developed by the USDA for purposes of erosion assessment and conservation planning. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the WEPP watershed model applicability and prediction accuracy for small watersheds (0.34-5.14 ha) under different climate, topography, soil, and management regimes. No calibration was conducted to obtain the results. Only default model parameters were used. Data from 15 watersheds in six U.S. locations were compared to runoff and sediment yield estimates using WEPP95. The r2 values between measured and predicted total runoff and sediment yield for the 15 watersheds were 0.86 and 0.91, respectively. The r2 between measured and predicted event data for individual watersheds ranged from 0.01 to 0.85 for runoff and from 0.02 to 0.90 for sediment. Cumulative frequency distributions for predicted values of event runoff and sediment matched those for measured values with some exceptions. Improvements in the WEPP model are suggested where limitations were observed.
REMINERALIZING EFFECT OF NANOHYDROXYAPATITE TOOTHPASTE ON CARIES- LIKE LESIONS IN PRIMARY TEETH (AN IN VITRO STUDY)

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate in vitro, the effect of nano-hydroxyapatite (NHA) toothpaste in comparison with a fluoridated toothpaste on remineralization of caries like lesion in the enamel of primary teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS: sixty sound primary anterior teeth were coated with nail varnish; leaving squares of 3x3 mm on facial surface uncovered. Forty teeth were divided into two groups where group (I) n=20 treated by NHA toothpaste and group (II) n=20 treated by fluoridated toothpaste containing sodium monofluorophosphate (1450 ppm F). They were examined with Vickers Microhardness device. The remaining 20 teeth were divided into two groups (III and IV). They were sectioned longitudinally in a labiolingual direction into two equal halves, mesial half not treated (sub group IIIA) and distal half treated by NHA (sub group IIIB). Mesial half not treated (sub group IVA) and distal half treated by fluoridated toothpaste (sub group IVB). Specimens were evaluated quantitatively and qualitatively with Polarized Light Microscope. RESULTS: The microhardness of teeth significantly decreased following acid exposure but increased again in both groups after exposure to toothpastes. The NHA toothpaste non-significantly increased the percent change of microhardness by 1.65 times than fluoridated toothpaste (p = 0.06). The percent differences in lesion depth between test group IIIB and its control group IIIA was -58.96 ± 9.04, whereas between test group IVB and its control IVA was -56.26 ± 17.43. There was no statistically significant difference between the two values (P=0.67). CONCLUSION: NHA and fluoridated toothpastes are equally effective as remineralizing materials for the enamel.
Quantitative Analysis of a Spatial Distribution and Driving Factors of the Urban Heat Island Effect: A Case Study of Fuzhou Central Area, China

Land surface temperature (LST) is a joint product of physical geography and socio-economics. It is important to clarify the spatial heterogeneity and binding factors of the LST for mitigating the surface heat island effect (SUHI). In this study, the spatial pattern of UHI in Fuzhou central area, China, was elucidated by Moran’s I and hot-spot analysis. In addition, the study divided the drivers into two categories, including physical geographic factors (soil wetness, soil brightness, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and modified normalized difference water index (MNDWI), water density, and vegetation density) and socio-economic factors (normalized difference built-up index (NDBI), population density, road density, nighttime light, park density). The influence analysis of single factor on LST and the factor interaction analysis were conducted via Geodetector software. The results indicated that the LST presented a gradient layer structure with high temperature in the southeast and low temperature in the northwest, which had a significant spatial association with industry zones. Especially, LST was spatially repulsive to urban green space and water body. Furthermore, the four factors with the greatest influence (q-Value) on LST were soil moisture (influence = 0.792) > NDBI (influence = 0.732) > MNDWI (influence = 0.618) > NDVI (influence = 0.604). The superposition explanation degree (influence (Xi ∩ Xj)) is stronger than the independent explanation degree (influence (Xi)). The highest and the lowest interaction existed in ”soil wetness ∩ MNDWI” (influence = 0.864) and “nighttime light ∩ population density” (influence = 0.273), respectively. The spatial distribution of SUHI and its driving mechanism were also demonstrated, providing theoretical guidance for urban planners to build thermal environment friendly cities.
