Influence of Zn, Fe and B Applications on Nutrient Availability in Soil at Critical Growth Stages of Maize (Zea mays) in Vertisol of Marathawada Region of Maharashtra

Maize is an important cereal crop of the world as well as of India. Maize crop is grown next to wheat and rice in the world. In India, it is cultivated over an area of 92.32 lakh hectares with an annual production of 236.73 lakh tonnes having an average productivity of more than 2564 kg ha -1 . In Maharashtra it occupies an area of 10.59 lakh hectares with total production of 22.03 lakh tonnes having an average productivity of more than 2080 kg ha -1 Micronutrients are essential for crop production in the present situation of soil fertility and their deficiency drastically affects the growth, metabolism and reproductive phase of crop plants, animal and human beings. Micronutrient deficiencies in crop plants are widespread because of increased micronutrient demand from intensive cropping practices and adaptation of high-yielding crop cultivars, enhanced crop production on marginal soils that contain low levels of essential micronutrients, increased use of high analysis fertilizers with low amounts of International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 8 Number 01 (2019) Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas. com
Experimental Studies on Tax Compliance Behavior

As a consequence of digital transformation, individuals are often confronted with prefilled forms or prefilled data entry masks. In situations where cheating and lying are of concern, prefilling and defaults might reduce dishonest behavior. In a controlled experiment, we investigate how correctly and incorrectly prefilled forms influence tax compliance behavior. We show that correct prefilling enhances compliance. However, in cases of incorrect prefilling, we observe asymmetric effects. If prefilled income is lower than true income, we find no positive compliance effect, and compliance is on the same level as with blank forms. If prefilled income is higher than true income, prefilling still has a positive effect on compliance. In that case, compliance is on the same level as with correctly prefilled forms and higher than with blank forms. Our study contributes to the literature on cheating and lying by showing that prefilled forms and defaults affect compliance.
PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING AND IN VITRO ANTIOXIDANT AND ANTI-DIABETIC POTENTIALS OF PERSEA AMERICANA MILL. (LAURACEAE) FRUIT EXTRACT

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance and pancreatic β-cell dysfunction and the management of blood glucose level is an important strategy in the control of the disease and complications associated with it. Therefore, components that cause uptake of glucose from the bloodstream and inhibitors of carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes can be useful in treatment of DM and medicinal plants are often used to achieve this aim. Avocado fruit is rich in phytochemicals necessary for treatment of DM. The purpose of this study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of Persea americana fruit extracts on α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes. The percentage yield, phytochemical screening (both qualitative and quantitative), in vitro antioxidant and anti-diabeticassays, and kinetic studies were performed with different solvent extracts of Avocado fruit pulp. Results: Avocado hadgreat and promising potential as pharmaceutical agent, particularly to be developed as anti-diabetic through the inhibition of α-glucosidase and α- amylase enzymes. In vitro studies of the antioxidant activity of the fruit extract gaveanevidence and strong biochemical rationale of their therapeutic potential. The fruit extract of P. americana may play an important role in the development of nutraceuticals and also in the management of oxidative stress induced DM.
Useful Structures and How to Find Them: Hardness and Approximation Results for Various Variants of the Parallel Task Scheduling Problem (Nützliche Strukturen und wie sie zu finden sind: Nicht Approximierbarkeit und Approximationen für diverse Varianten des Parallel Task Scheduling Problems)

In this thesis, we consider the Parallel Task Scheduling problem and several variants. This problem and its variations have diverse applications in theory and practice; for example, they appear as sub-problems in higher dimensional problems. In the Parallel Task Scheduling problem, we are given a set of jobs and a set of identical machines. Each job is a parallel task; i.e., it needs a fixed number of identical machines to be processed. A schedule assigns to each job a set of machines it is processed on and a starting time. It is feasible if at each point in time each machine processes at most one job. In a variant of this problem, called Strip Packing, the identical machines are arranged in a total order, and jobs can only allocate neighboring machines with regard to this total order. In this case, we speak of Contiguous Parallel Task Scheduling as well. In another variant, called Single Resource Constraint Scheduling, we are given an additional constraint on how many jobs can be processed at the same time. For these variants of the Parallel Task Scheduling problem, we consider an extension, where the set of machines is grouped into identical clusters. When scheduling a job, we are allowed to allocate machines from only one cluster to process the job. For all these considered problems, we close some gaps between inapproximation or hardness result and the best possible algorithm. For Parallel Task Scheduling we prove that it is strongly NP-hard if we are given precisely 4 machines. Before it was known that it is strongly NP-hard if we are given at least 5 machines, and there was an (exact) pseudo-polynomial time algorithm for up to 3 machines. For Strip Packing, we present an algorithm with approximation ratio (5/4 +e) and prove that there is no approximation with ratio less than 5/4 unless P = NP. Concerning Single Resource Constraint Scheduling, it is not possible to find an algorithm with ratio smaller than 3/2, unless P = NP, and we present an algorithm with ratio (3/2 +e). For the extensions to identical clusters, there can be no approximation algorithm with a ratio smaller than 2 unless P = NP. For the extensions of Strip Packing and Parallel Task Scheduling there are 2-approximations already, but they have a huge worst case running time. We present 2-approximations that have a linear running time for the extensions of Strip Packing, Parallel Task Scheduling, and Single Resource Constraint Scheduling for the case that at least three clusters are present and greatly improve the running time for two clusters. Finally, we consider three variants of Scheduling on Identical Machines with setup times. We present EPTAS results for all of them which is the best one can hope for since these problems are strongly NP-complete.

Pharmacological effects of Fucus spiralis extracts and phycochemicals: a comprehensive review

Abstract The value of macroalgae to the pharmaceutical and food industries has increased, due to their richness in compounds with relevant biological activities and health effects. However, there are still many species that are worth exploring, like the edible Fucus spiralis L. , widespread throughout the European and African Atlantic coasts. In order to demonstrate the phycochemical, pharmacological and nutritional potential of F. spiralis, this work presents a comprehensive review of studies regarding the bioactivities of F. spiralis extracts and their phycochemicals. A critical analysis of studies is presented, identifying the challenges and opportunities, and unveiling the knowledge gaps in order to guide future research with this alga. Although the studies performed so far have shown the potential of F. spiralis, this review shows that there is still a big gap in the knowledge about its metabolites. In this context, it is suggested that future investigations should focus more on the isolation and unequivocal structural characterization of the metabolites, such as phlorotannins. In addition, some weaknesses in the reviewed literature are mentioned here, which should be avoided in future work, in order to allow a better evaluation of the validity of results and their comparison.
Epidemiology and Seasonal Variation of Ixodid Ticks in Dairy Cattle of Gangetic Plains of Uttar Pradesh, India

Background: The Gangetic plain of Uttar Pradesh is fertile land inhabited by second highest cattle population in India. A study was undertaken from May 2016 to March 2018 on the distribution and abundance of ticks in cattle. Methods: Data was collected from 3 organized farms, 5 Gaushalas and from local farmers. Studied animals were divided into three categories indigenous breeds (n=450), exotic (n=60) and crosses of exotic and local breeds (n=140). The prevalence of tick infestation was studied in the host cattle in the different seasons. Result: Total eight species of ticks were identified. Among the Ixodid ticks, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus was the predominant species (85.28 %) in all seasons. Significantly (p less than 0.05) higher prevalence was recorded in monsoon season as compared to other seasons. Animals aged 1 year of age (50.87%). Sex-wise, the males had higher infestation rate than the females. In the villages, Gaushalas and in unorganized dairy farms tick infestation prevalence was (45%) as compared to minimal prevalence 4% recorded from organized sector. Infestation in exotic cattle was high in fields as compared to crossbred and indigenous cattle breed. Most of the animals under farm management system were infected with single tick species. While multi species tick infestation was observed in the fields. This could be due to the management practices and timely tick treatment adopted by farms.
Seed yield and quality as influenced by growing conditions in hybrid seed production of bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.) cv. Pusa Hybrid-1

The present investigation was carried out under insect proof net house (IPN) and open field condition (OFC) at Centre for Protected Cultivation Technology and Seed Testing Laboratory of Division of Seed Science &Technology, IARI, New Delhi in bitter gourd cv. Pusa Hybrid-1 during summer season because under open field condition the seed yield and seed quality of bitter gourd drastically reduced due to viral diseases and fruit fly in kharif and early onset of high temperature, unseasonal rains during summer, which restricts the hybrid seed production of bitter gourd under north Indian condition. The observations on seed yield & quality characters and physical properties of seed were recorded. The quality attributes were evaluated immediately after harvest and after 8 months of ambient storage and their results were compared. The experimental results revealed that total number of seed per fruit (46.7), number of filled seed per fruit (45.3), seed yield per fruit (9.41g), seed yield per plant (27.28g), and seed yield per hectare (232kg) were significantly higher under IPN in comparison to OFC. Among the physical parameters of seed, seed width (0.81cm) & seed coat (0.79g) weight recorded significantly higher in IPN. The seed quality attributes immediately after harvest was also significantly superior under IPN compared to OFC except for germination %. The hybrid seed produced under IPN conditions could maintain their superiority for quality traits even after 8 monthsof its ambient storage. The seed yield and seed quality attributes were comparatively superior under IPN conditions. The seed crop grown under IPN overcomes the threat of insect vectors, viral diseases and unfavourable climatic conditions and helps in attaining the better seed yield and quality.
MORPHOLOGY AND MORPHOMETRY OF Haemonchus contortus IN GOATS IN YOGYAKARTA, INDONESIA

This research was carried out to determine the morphology and morphometry of Haemonchus contortus in goats. Adult female parasites were collected from abomasum of naturally infected goats and stored in lactophenol. Images of the parasite were acquired using lucida camera and measurement was performed using Axiovision LE software. Basic characters of the morphology and morphometry of Haemonchus spp. were identified by determining the value of the discriminant function of three parameters on spicule. Vulvar morphology was identified by vulvar flap shape. Data were presented in terms of mean, standard deviation, and percentage. A hundred percent of the parasites were H. contortus with discriminant function value 0.63. The size of female parasites was longer and wider (25.5-32.6 mm; 0.38-0.63 mm) than that of male ones (17.3-20.0 mm; 0.24-0.33 mm). There were only 2 varieties of vulvar flap, linguiform (81%), and knobbed (19%). There were 5 subclasses identified in the linguiform type, including linguiform A (39%), linguiform B (22%), linguiform C (17%), linguiform I (1%), and a new subclass of linguiform D (2%). Based on the the type of vulvar flap, H. contortus found in goats in Yogyakarta were different to those found in previous researches. The findings could be used in identifying the parasite species in small ruminants.
Steganalysis and steganography by deep learning

La steganographie d'image est l'art de la communication secrete dans le but d'echanger un message de maniere furtive. La steganalyse d'image a elle pour objectif de detecter la presence d'un message cache en recherchant les artefacts present dans l'image. Pendant une dizaine d'annees, l'approche classique en steganalyse a ete d'utiliser un ensemble classifieur alimente par des caracteristiques extraites "a la main". Au cours des dernieres annees, plusieurs etudes ont montre que les reseaux de neurones convolutionnels peuvent atteindre des performances superieures a celles des approches conventionnelles d'apprentissage machine.Le sujet de cette these traite des techniques d'apprentissage profond utilisees pour la steganographie d'images et la steganalyse dans le domaine spatial.La premiere contribution est un reseau de neurones convolutionnel rapide et efficace pour la steganalyse, nomme Yedroudj-Net. Compare aux methodes modernes de steganalyse basees sur l'apprentissage profond, Yedroudj-Net permet d'obtenir des resultats de detection performants, mais prend egalement moins de temps a converger, ce qui permet l'utilisation des bases d'apprentissage de grandes dimensions. De plus, Yedroudj-Net peut facilement etre ameliore en ajoutant des complements ou des modules bien connus. Parmi les amelioration possibles, nous avons evalue l'augmentation de la base de donnees d'entrainement, et l'utilisation d'un ensemble de CNN. Les deux modules complementaires permettent d'ameliorer les performances de notre reseau.La deuxieme contribution est l'application des techniques d'apprentissage profond a des fins steganographiques i.e pour l'insertion. Parmi les techniques existantes, nous nous concentrons sur l'approche du "jeu-a-3-joueurs". Nous proposons un algorithme d'insertion qui apprend automatiquement a inserer un message secretement. Le systeme de steganographie que nous proposons est base sur l'utilisation de reseaux adverses generatifs. L'entrainement de ce systeme steganographique se fait a l'aide de trois reseaux de neurones qui se font concurrence : le steganographeur, l'extracteur et le steganalyseur. Pour le steganalyseur nous utilisons Yedroudj-Net, pour sa petite taille, et le faite que son entrainement ne necessite pas l'utilisation d'astuces qui pourrait augmenter le temps de calcul.Cette deuxieme contribution donne des premiers elements de reflexion tout en donnant des resultats prometteurs, et pose ainsi les bases pour de futurs recherches.

This change has created challenges not onlyfor the industry but also for personnel. However, this implementation offers manyimprovements over older systems; more precise control, straightforward integrationwith other ATC systems and a more efficient way to provide software updates. Thechallenge for personnel is to develop a new skillset enabling a learning transitionfrom analogue to digital systems, with a specific emphasis on computer networkingskills.This project was undertaken in collaboration between the University of Lincoln(UoL) and Park Air Systems (PAS), an industry-leading provider of Air-Space com-munication solutions. A system has been developed to find a mechanism to monitorand visualise network traffic. The use of graphs provides a direct interface for theend-users, enabling a mechanism for identifying performance issues to meet thetransitional challenges from analogue to digital. An easy to use interface has beendesigned, which will enable non-technical users to interact effectively with the sys-tem.Considerable testing was undertaken to investigate the system usability concern-ing the practical application for users with limited networking experience. A surveyprovided a range of quantitative and qualitative data which was further analysed toscrutinize user perspectives on system usability. This involved engineers from PASand postgraduate students from UoL to compare results between direct industrypersonnel and unaffiliated participants.
Induction of Lili Hujan polyploid (Zephyranthes rosea Lindl.) with ethanolic extract of Tapak Dara leaf (Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. don.) to increase its economic value

The ornamental plant is a high economic-value commodity and highly prospective cultivated in Indonesia. One of them is Lili Hujan plant (Zephyranthes rosea Lindl.). However, this plant is less desirable because the size of the flowers is small, thin, and wilted quickly. Therefore, the genetic improvement to improve the quality of interest is necessary. One way is through polyploidy induction using chemicals such as vincristine, which is derived from an ethanolic extract of tapak dara leaf (Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don. ). This research aims to know the potency of ethanolic extract of tapak Dara leaf in induction polyploidization of Lili hujan plant (duration of immersion) and its influence on the characters of the morphology and chromosomes. Tuber plants soaked (8, 16, and 24 hours) with 0.1% ethanolic extract of tapak dara leaf. The observed variables include morphological characters (root mass, length, and width of the leaves, the day of flower appearance, tuber diameter), stomata density and chromosomes. Extract of ethanolic from tapak data leaves 0,1% with 8, 16, and 24 hours immersion periods can induce polyploidization of Lili hujan plants with increasing number of chromosomes compared with control plants. Also, the root mass, number and broad leaves, and the stomata density also increased. Finally, the economic value of Lili hujan plant increased because of quality improvement phenotype.
Parenting Styles, Career Decision Self-Efficacy, and Career Exploration Behavior in Vocational High-School Students [Pola Asuh Orangtua, Efikasi-Diri Keputusan Karier, dan Perilaku Eksplorasi Karier pada Siswa Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan]

As an adaptive behavior, career exploration needs to be developed in vocational students who have difficulty in getting a job. The more career-related information obtained, the more likely it is for them to find the right job or the one that has the desired impact. To develop career exploration behavior in vocational students, it is necessary to know the factors that play a role in improving career exploration behavior. This study examined the mediating role of career decision self-efficacy in the relationship between parenting styles and career exploration behavior. Participants in this study were 824 senior vocational high school students from nine schools in Jakarta and Depok. The Parental Authority Questionnaire, Career Decision Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form, and Career Exploration Survey were used to measure parenting styles, career decision self-efficacy and career exploration behavior. The results showed that career decision self-efficacy fully mediated the influenced of authoritative parenting styles in mothers and fathers on career exploration behavior in vocational students. Interestingly, the authoritarian parenting style was also found to have a positive and significant influence on career exploration behavior in vocational students. The implication and limitation are discussed. Sebagai perilaku adaptif, eksplorasi karier perlu dikembangkan pada siswa kejuruan yang mengalami kesulitan dalam mendapatkan pekerjaan. Semakin banyak informasi tentang karier yang diperoleh, semakin mungkin bagi mereka untuk menemukan pekerjaan yang tepat atau pekerjaan yang membawa dampak yang diinginkan. Untuk mengembangkan perilaku eksplorasi karier pada siswa kejuruan, maka perlu diketahui faktor-faktor yang berperan dalam mengembangkan perilaku eksplorasi karier. Studi ini menguji peran efikasi-diri keputusan karier dalam memediasi hubungan antara pola asuh orangtua dan eksplorasi karier. Partisipan dalam studi ini merupakan 824 siswa Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan dari sembilan sekolah di Jakarta dan Depok.
