GREENING DISEASE IN RELATION TO THE DISTRIBUTION AND FLUCTUATION OF Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (HEMIPTERA: PSYLLIDAE) POPULATION IN A CITRUS ORCHARD IN SARAWAK, MALAYSIA

Diaphorina citri Kuwayama is a very prolific and most efficient vector for the fast huanglonbing (HLB) transmission which has destroyed nearly all citrus orchards with the economic deficit of RM 6.5 million or USD 1.6 million in Malaysia. D. citri coupled with HLB is therefore the greatest obstacle to the financial development of a sustainable and viable citrus industry in Malaysia. The study was aimed to evaluate the spread of HLB disease vectored by D . citri in relation to its spatial distribution and flight activity in response to flush cycles in a healthy orchard. Four types of yellow traps used to monitor for flight activity of this disease vector were evaluated monthly between June 2011 and December 2012. Both vector populations and HLB disease symptoms were monitored regularly between 2011 and 2014. A molecular diagnostic technique, Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) procedures was used to confirm the presence of the bacterium in diseased trees. D. citri adult populations expanded exponentially amid durations of cyclic production of new flush growths. The highest number of adult D. citri was captured by Rebel brown-yellow traps followed by Bamboo pole and yellow sticky traps with significant differences during the rainy months with monthly rainfall between 581-919 mm from October 2011 to March 2012 while higher catches were obtained by Bamboo pole traps during the dry months with monthly rainfall from 374-458 mm between May – September 2012. Yellow traps provided an indication of adult abundance and flight activity. It took about 21 months for D. citri population to spread all over the entire citrus garden. Rates of HLB transmission were related to high vector populations and spread was related to dispersing adults. Levels of HLB infected trees as determined by PCR increased progressively from 2.4% to 19.3% and 42.2% within four years after planting. The activity of infective D. citri is the key to HLB disease spread in a citrus orchard.
Gas exchange of citrus rootstocks in response to intensity and duration of saline stress

A salinidade do solo e da agua ocasionam disturbios fisiologicos em plantas sensiveis, a exemplo das trocas gasosas em genotipos de citros, podendo-se identificar, a partir dessas variaveis, genotipos tolerantes e a resposta das plantas a salinidade. Assim, objetivou-se avaliar a tolerância de genotipos de citros a salinidade na fase de formacao de porta-enxertos. O experimento foi desenvolvido em casa de vegetacao, no Municipio de Pombal, Paraiba, empregando-se o delineamento experimental de blocos casualizados com tres repeticoes e tratamentos arranjados em esquema fatorial, 5x8, relativos a combinacao de: [i] cinco niveis de salinidade da agua de irrigacao (0,8; 1,6; 2,4; 3,2 e 4,0 dS m-1) e [ii] oito genotipos de porta-enxertos de citros: 1. limoeiro ‘Cravo Santa Cruz’ (LCRSTC); 2. tangerineira ‘Sunki’ comum (TSKC) x citrumelo ‘Swingle’ (CTSW) - 028; 3. TSKC x CTSW - 033; 4. TSKC x CTSW - 041; 5. limoeiro ‘Volkameriano’ (LVK) x limoeiro ‘Cravo’ (LCR) - 038; 6. tangerineira ‘Sunki da Florida’ (TSKFL); 7. TSKC e 8. limoeiro ‘Rugoso da Florida’ (LRF). Avaliaram-se as trocas gasosas das plantas aos 15, 30 e 60 dias apos o inicio da aplicacao de agua salina. A salinidade da agua reduziu as trocas gasosas de genotipos de citros, sendo mais evidente aos 15 dias apos o inicio do estresse. Os genotipos limoeiro ‘Cravo Santa Cruz’, TSKC x CTSW – 041, LVK x LCR – 038 e o limoeiro Rugoso da Florida tem comportamento fisiologico satisfatorio durante os primeiros 30 dias de exposicao ao estresse, sendo moderadamente tolerantes ao estresse salino. Os genotipos TSKC x CTSW – 033 e a tangerineira Sunki Comum sao mais sensiveis a salinidade.
Tribochemistry as an Alternative Synthesis Pathway

While reactions driven by mechanical force or stress can be labeled mechanochemical, those specifically occurring at a sliding interface inherit the name tribochemical, which stems from the study of friction and wear: tribology. Increased perception of tribochemical reactions has been gained through technological advancement, and the development of new applications remains on-going. This surprising physico-kinetic process offers great potential in novel reaction pathways for synthesis techniques and nanoparticle interactions, and it could prove to be a powerful cross-disciplinary research area among chemists, engineers, and physicists. In this review article, a survey of the history and recent usage of tribochemical reaction pathways is presented, with a focus on forging new compounds and materials with this sustainable synthesis methodology. In addition, an overview of tribochemistry’s current utility as a synthesis pathway is given and compared to that of traditional mechanochemistry.
A Model of Factors Affecting Entrepreneurial Intention among Information Technology Students in Vietnam

In recent decades, the research field of entrepreneurship phenomenon has significantly increased in both quantity and sophistication. In Vietnam, paradoxically, while creating a new business venture has become a tendency, the interest in studying entrepreneurs seems not to be thoroughly investigated. This research aims to evaluate the factors that affect the entrepreneurial intention of information technology (IT) students in Vietnam. The authors make use of mixed methods including both quantitative research method and qualitative research method. The qualitative research method is employed to identify meanings, confirmations, adjustments, and compliments for concept-measurement variables in the conceptual model. Quantitative research is conducted from a sample of 424 IT senior students across many universities in Vietnam. Questionnaires have been sent to students to evaluate the measurement scale and appropriateness of the research model. Results from multiple regression highlighted five independent variables affecting the dependent variable, the entrepreneurial intention, in a descending order as following: entrepreneurial educational environment, personal characteristics, perception of feasibility, entrepreneurial supports, and financial accessibility. In addition, this research has proved that the variable attitudes towards entrepreneurship partially mediated among the interrelationship of the aforementioned variables. From this research, the authors make some recommendations to enhance entrepreneurial intentions of IT students in Vietnam.
Studies on Chemical Constituents and Nutrients Bioavailability in Moringa oleifera Leaf and Seed

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the nutritional composition, antinutritional factors and antioxidant potentials of the bioactive compounds of Moringa oleifera (M. oleifera) seeds and leaves. Place and Duration: The study was carried out in the department of Food Science and Technology, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ife, Nigeria, between March-September, 2014 Methodology: M. oleifera leaf powder and seed flour were obtained by drying fresh leaves and seeds in a hot air dryer and milled. The seeds and leaves were characterized and analysed using standard methods. Results: The results showed that the crude protein, total ash, and crude fat contents of M. oleifera leaf were 20.29±0.41, 7.27±0.25 and 1.79±0.17% while those of the seed were 33.82±0.21, 5.17±0.41 and 38.69 ±0.38%, respectively. Calcium content of the seed Original Research Article Oladeji et al.; JSRR, 14(1): 1-12, 2017; Article no.JSRR. 32458 2 (46.93±0.18 mg/100 g) was relatively low when compared with that of the leaf (521.96±0.32 mg/100 g). Zinc and iron concentration (14.72±0.12 and 8.12±0.11 mg/100g) in the seed were higher than in the leaf (12.28±0.02 and 7.86±0.62 mg/100g for Zn and Fe respectively). In the leaf and seed, alkaloids (0.428±0.13 and 0.597±0.04%), saponin (2.860±0.11 and 0.295±0.02%), and tanin (mg/g) were within the consumable limit. Phytate content of the leaf (0.4267±0.02 mg/g) and seed (0.4905 ±0.06 mg/g) were low enough to permit bioavailability of phosphate and not impair calcium and zinc bioavailability but may lower iron absorption in the body. Proportion of phosphate as phytate (11.95 and 13.73 mg/100g for leaf and seed respectively) was low indicating high bioavailability of phosphate. 2, 2-Diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activities of the leaf and seed were 83.61±0.31 and 69.84±1.08% respectively implying the seed and leaf possess noteworthy antioxidants activity. Conclusion: The study implies that M. oleifera leaf and seed from South Western, Nigeria are suitable for consumption with great health benefits.
Mass balance applied to Brazilian conventional Broiler houses during one production cycle

ABSTRACT Brazil plays an important role in global poultry production as it is the world’s largest chicken exporter and the third largest broiler producer. Despite the development achieved by the Brazilian broiler industry as a result of the integrated production system, many obstacles still need to be overcome, in particular, housing environment. In this regard, detailed knowledge of the inputs, outputs, and primary waste generated by broiler production cycles is essential to establish a baseline for energy balance research studies and to develop environmental solutions. This article proposes a mass balance of conventional broiler houses of southern Brazil sheds in order to predict their outputs, but that may also be applicable to other regions with similar climate. Control volumes considered the heating, cooling, and rearing processes. All generated products and wastes were estimated considering litter production and the total production per cycle. Despite the variety of the microclimates, the results were very close to those reported in experiments, indicating that this model is adequate for this kind of estimation.

Non-Primary Home Buyers, Shadow Banking, and the US Housing Market

This paper studies the US housing market using a proprietary and comprehensive dataset covering nearly 90 million residential transactions over 1998–2018. First, we document the evolution of different types of investment purchases such as those conducted by short-term buyers, out-of-state buyers, and corporate cash investors. Second, we quantify the contributions of non-primary home buyers to the housing cycle. Our findings suggest that the share of short-term investors grew substantially in the run-up to the global financial crisis (GFC), which amplified the boom-bust cycle, while out-of-state buyers propped up prices in some areas during the recession. An instrumental variable approach is employed to establish a causal relationship between housing investors and prices. Finally, we show that the recent rise of shadow bank lending in the residential market is associated with riskier mortgages, and explore its implications for non-primary home buyers and its effects on house prices and rents.
Overconfidence, Experience and Passive Investing

The purpose of this paper is to consider the role of overconfidence and personal experience in adoption of passive investment style. Literature review on overconfidence, experience and passive investing are provided, followed by discussion on prospect theory and naïve reinforcement theory. Proposed conceptual framework is provided to guide future research. Anecdotes and proxy of personal experience showed that investor's personal experience might lead to different investment behavior. Overconfidence might interact with personal experience in investing context. Proposition on whether an increasing passive investing trend is a result of lower overconfidence is made. Investor’s behavior on passive investing trend requires attention. The interaction between overconfidence and personal experience in light of prospect theory and naïve reinforcement theory provides insight on adoption of active / passive investing style. This paper addresses whether overconfidence is diminished in light of global passive investing trend. This paper also stresses the importance of personal experience in investment decision.
Germination, growth, photosynthesis and ionic balance in Setaria viridis seedlings subjected to saline and alkaline stress

Guo, R. , Zhou, J., Hao, W. , Gong, D. , Zhong, X. , Gu, F. , Liu, Q. , Xia, X. , Tian, J. and Li, H. 2011. Germination, growth, photosynthesis and ionic balance in Setaria viridis seedlings subjected to saline and alkaline stress. Can. J. Plant Sci. 91: 1077-1088. Setaria viridis seeds and seedlings were subjected to saline and alkaline stress to determine their effects on germination and growth indices, and physiological parameters. The treatments consisted of solutions of NaCl:Na2SO4 for saline stress and NaHCO3:Na2CO3 for alkaline stress, at different concentrations. Germination, growth, photosynthesis, chlorophyll fluorescence and ionic balance were determined to elucidate the difference in the mechanism of saline and alkaline stress damage to S. viridis seedlings, and their physiological adaptive mechanism to stress. Germination indices decreased and, germ and root growth were severely inhibited with increased concentrations, especially under alkaline stress. We also found that alkaline stress had a more severe effect on S. viridis seedlings than saline stress, which was demonstrated by greater reduction in relative growth rate, water content and root system activity. Similarly, the reduction in photosynthesis and chlorophyll fluorescence was greater under alkaline than saline stress. Alkaline stress also appeared to exacerbate the ionic imbalance generated by saline stress; alkaline stress caused a heavy precipitate of phosphate and metal ions, excluding Na+ and K+, and the loss of NO3 - and H2PO4 -, which caused a sharp decrease in ionic activity and free concentrations of various ions. Our results suggest that damage caused by alkaline stress might come from greater influx of Na+ than caused by saline stress. Setaria viridis responds by synthesizing greater amounts of organic acids than are required to counter salinity to address the intracellular ion imbalance; this process is at the cost of the plant's already diminished energy resource.
Public Knowledge about Covid-19 and Public Behavior During the Covid-19 Pandemic

Coronavirus 2019 or COVID-19 is a pandemic that has resulted in mortality and mortality rates in various parts of the world. Good knowledge of the COVID-19 pandemic and having a clean and healthy behavior as an effort to prevent transmission of COVID-19 is important to apply. The aim of the research is to find a picture of the community about the COVID-19 pandemic and people's behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic. This type of research is quantitative with a descriptive survey design on 150 communities in Sumerta Kelod Village, Denpasar, Bali through purposive sampling. Research using a questionnaire as a data tool and the data were analyzed univariately by presenting the variable frequency distribution. The results of the analysis obtained public knowledge about the COVID-19 pandemic in the good category, namely 70%. The distribution of community behavior shows that the community has complied with health protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic. Most of the community case categories are in the low-risk case category (85.33%).
Urban evaporative consumptive use for water‐scarce cities in the United States and Mexico

In this work, we estimate urban evaporative consumptive use (urban ECU) in three cities in a semiarid region experiencing water scarcity: El Paso, Texas, and Las Cruces, New Mexico, in the United States and Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, in Mexico. Urban ECU includes vegetation and bare soil evapotranspiration (ET) and evaporation from open water, water supply infrastructure losses, and building evaporative coolers. Three independent methods were used to estimate urban ECU from individual ECU components and from utility accounting data. The three methods produced urban ECU estimates that varied by an average of 24%. Most of the disagreement was attributed to potential overestimation of vegetation and bare soil ET. Vegetation and bare soil ET account for up to 90% of total urban ECU. Urban ECU accounts for up to 60% of total annual water demand. Per capita ECU from the U.S. cities is, on average, 149 m3/capita/year, compared with 51 m3/capita/year for Ciudad Juárez.
Arthroscopic Bankart repair with knotless suture anchors: A comparison of the permanent and absorbable types

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR) using two types of knotless suture anchors (KSAs) in patients with post-traumatic recurrent anterior glenohumeral instability (AGHI). Methods: Thirty-two patients underwent an ABR using KSAs: a permanent KSA (PushLock) and an absorbable counterpart (BioKnotless). There were 16 patients in each group. Pre-and post-operative assessment for shoulder function using the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons and Constant–Murley scores, recurrence of instability, post-operative limitation of external rotation (ER) and ability to return to pre-injury level were recorded in both groups. Results: Both groups displayed significant improvements in functional scores (p < 0.0001) without a significant difference between the groups. Of the 32 patients, 9.4% had recurrence of instability (one re-dislocation in group 1 and two symptomatic subluxations in group 2). Return to pre-injury level occurred in 87.5% and 81.3% of group 1 and group 2, respectively. There was 2° to 3° loss of ER after ABR in both groups; the difference between the groups was not significant (p = 0.45). Conclusion: ABR for recurrent AGHI using a permanent or absorbable KSA offers comparable successful outcomes; no significant statistical difference was found.
Farmers’ drought experience, risk perceptions, and behavioural intentions for adaptation: evidence from Ethiopia

ABSTRACT This paper examines farmers' cognitive perceptions of risk and the behavioural intentions to implement specific drought risk reduction measures using the Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) model. We follow an innovative route by extending a PMT model with a drought experience variable, which, we hypothesize, will influence risk perceptions and the take-up of adaptation measures. In order to do so, we investigated detailed historical drought patterns by looking at the spatial and temporal aspects of drought conditions during crop growing season at the village level. In our extended PMT model, drought experience, as represented by a long-term Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), plays a significant role in predicting farmers' intention to take up adaptation measures. The result reveals that drier conditions significantly increase farmers' behavioural intention to implement adaptation measures against drought risk, which is the key finding of the study. Moreover, our findings show that perceived vulnerability and severity, self-efficacy, and response efficacy are positively and significantly associated with the number of drought risk reduction measures implemented. The findings of our empirical analysis contribute to the effect of cognitive perceptions through a new lens of farmer's personal experience with drought shocks, represented by the state of vegetation or physical environment.
