The gross anatomy of larynx, trachae and syrinx in goose (Anser anser domesticus).

*** Summary In this study, larynx, trachea and syrinx of eight domestic mature geese (Anser anser domesticus) weighing 4500-5000g were examined. The larynx was formed by single cartilago (cart.) cricoidea and cart. procricoidea, and a paired cart. arytenoidea. Cartilagines trachea numbered 137-140 and variations in their diameters were detected along their courses. The cartilage rings localized near the middle of the trachea were in contact with the previous or following rings and formed “H” letter shape. Some rings were dorsally and some were ventrally forked. The syrinx was tracheobronchial type and formed by cartilagines (cartt.) tracheosyringeales and cartt. bronchosyringeales. Cartilagines tracheosyringeales were tube shaped and fused in both directions. Rings were completely ossified except the first two. Cartilagines bronchosyringeales were made up of six ‘C’ shaped cartilage rings. The open medial faces of the last four cartt. bronchosyringeales came closer to each other and facing left and right parts were tightly attached to each other by connective tissue smooth muscle. The membrane tympaniformes lateralis and medialis were observed. The membrane tympaniformes lateralis was between the tympanum and the first cart. bronchosyringealis, and the membrane tympaniformes medialis was between the pessulus and the second cart. bronchosyringealis. In conclusion, the cartilage rings in middle parts of trachea which seem to be “H”-shaped forked and also the tympanum which is completely fused and ossified characteristic for the goose.
RFID-Based IS in Retail Between Extreme Rejection and Cautious Acceptance: Consumers' Reactions to

RFID (radio frequency identification) is one of the most important technologies underlying ambient intelligence. It will enable myriad information services on retailers’shop floors and after sale. However, embedding chips in everyday products has stirred a considerable debate about people’s privacy. So far it is unclear what the attitudes toward privacy in ambient intelligence are and whether they will affect the reputation of the retailer and acceptance of RFID-based information services. This article presents two empirical studies with 642 participants who saw an introductory film and subsequently evaluated the technology and potential privacy protection mechanisms. Results show that people are moderately privacy aware and that their privacy awareness is negatively related to their acceptance of the service. A group of “extreme rejecters” is identified, which hold highly negative attitudes toward RFID and significantly bias group means. The characteristics of this group are explored and privacy protection measures are evaluated.
COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF IN VITRO REGENERATION POTENTIAL OF SEEDS OF W. SOMNIFERA AND W. COAGULANS

Withania somnifera and Withania coagulans have been well known to possess tremendous medicinal potential. Owing to this both the plants find their extensive utilization in traditional as well as modern medicine system. Unrestricted collection from natural stands, destruction of natural habitat and low propagation rate in nature has rendered both the plants endangered. Seeds of both the species exhibits poor germination rate in nature. In the present study, effect of HCl and H2SO4 on seed germination was studied. Culture of germinated seeds onto MS medium fortified with different concentration of NAA and BAP resulted in callusing and regeneration of multiple shoots. Well elongated shoots were rooted onto medium containing IBA. Half strength MS medium was far superior for root induction as compared to full strength for both the species. A maximum of 94.6% cultures of W. somnifera and 84.6% cultures of W. coagulans developed in vitro roots onto 1⁄2MS+10μM IBA and 1⁄2MS+20μM IBA respectively. About 75.6% plants of W. somnifera and 64.9% plants of W. coagulans survived during the process of hardening and transplantation.
Effect of Plant Patch Shape and Surrounding Vegetation on the Dynamics of Predatory Coccinellids and Their Prey Brevicoryne brassicae (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

Abstract We assessed the effect of plant patch shape and surrounding vegetation on the density, emigration, and immigration of predatory coccinellids, and on the density of their aphid prey Brevicoryne brassicae (L.). Between spring 1997 and fall 1999, we set up square and I-shaped patches of Brassica oleracea Plenck surrounded by Medicago sativa L. or Allium porrum L. Medicago sativa is frequently used by coccinellids, whereas A. porrum is not. We used a factorial (2 × 2) randomized block design, and evaluated the density of coccinellids and aphids every 10 d. We also evaluated emigration and immigration of adult coccinellids through mark-recapture experiments. We quantified the population increase of aphids, and the final live mass of plants. All insects were more abundant in patches surrounded by A. porrum than in those surrounded by M. sativa, and coccinellids were occasionally more dense in square patches than in I-shaped ones. Coccinellids emigrated less from square patches, either surrounded by A. porrum or M. sativa, and immigrated more to patches surrounded by A. porrum. Aphids showed a higher population increase, and plants of B. oleracea ended up being heavier in patches surrounded by A. porrum, particularly in I-shaped patches. Surrounding vegetation and plant patch shape seem to have a direct effect on the density of coccinellids by modifying their immigration and emigration patterns, but also seem to have an indirect effect by changing plant growth and its effect on herbivore recruitment.

Randomized Re-Opening of Training Facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic

Most countries closed training facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic. This may have negative consequences for people’s health and wellbeing. We investigated SARS-CoV-2 virus transmission and COVID-19 disease attributable to training facilities.We randomized members 18 to 64 years with no COVID-19 relevant comorbidities randomized Five training facilities in Oslo, Norway to access or no access to their training facility. Facilities were opened from May 22, 2020 for individuals randomized to training, applying increased social distancing (1 meter for floor exercise, 2 meters for high-intensity classes), enhanced hand and surface hygiene. Locker rooms were open, showers and saunas were closed. We measured SARS-CoV-2 PCR status by self-administered naso-, oropharyngeal and sputum sampling after two weeks and clinical disease by linkage to electronic patient records after three weeks.3,764 individuals were randomized and included in analyses; 1,896 in the training and 1,868 in no-training arms. In the training arm, 81.8% trained at least once at the facilities, and 38.5% trained ≥six times. Out of 3,016 individuals who returned the SARS-CoV-2 PCR tests (80.5%), there was one positive test. The positive individual was randomized to training, but had not used the facility before testing day. Contact tracing revealed the workplace as transmission source. A total of 106 individuals (2.8%) had outpatient hospital visits, and six individuals were admitted to hospital during the three weeks after intervention start, with no differences between arms. There were no outpatient visits or hospital admissions due to COVID-19 in either group.Provided good hygiene and social distancing measures, there was no increased COVID-19 spread at training facilities.

Antibacterial potential of fungi derived extracts of marine sponge Acanthostrongylophora ingens

Sponge-derived fungi are potential sources of antibacterial agents which have an ability to produce a variety of unique and diverse bioactive metabolites. In our previous study, eight derived-fungi constituents were isolated from the marine sponge Acanthostrongylophora ingens. The aim of the present study was to test the antibacterial activity of ethyl acetate extract against Vibrio cholerae Inaba, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29252, Multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDR-PA), Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Streptococcus mutans ATCC 25175, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. One of isolated fungi IB141 showed significant capability to inhibit the growth of all above pathogenic bacteria except for S. mutans ATCC 25175. The antibacterial activity of ethyl acetate extract of fungus IB141 toward the above bacteria was tested by using agar diffusion method of Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) medium and showed significant activity against S. aureus ATCC 25923 and M. tuberculosis H37Rv using agar diffusion method of Lowenstein Jensen (LJ) medium to give strong inhibiton (no growth) at concentration of 0.025, 0.05 and 0.1%. This crude ethyl acetate extract was column chromagtographed on silica gel using an increasing amount of MeOH in CH2Cl2 and fractions obtained were checked by Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC), then the fractions having similar TLC pattern were combined to give four fractions. The second fraction (F2) was rechromatographed on silica gel eluted with CH2Cl2-MeOH (0.3:4.7) to give 7 subfractions. Subfractions F22, F23 and F26 were chromatographed on HPLC (reverse phase column, C18) eluted with MeOH and the major peaks were compared to those of library hits of UV spectra data available in the Institute of Pharmaceutical Biology and Biotechnology, Heinrich Heine University, Düsseldorf, Germany. It was concluded that the major component of subfraction F22 was palitantin (1) with retention time at 38.91 min, subfraction F23 citreodrimene A (2) with retention time at 36.98 min, and subfraction F26 septicine (3) and ochratoxin A (4) with retention time at 13.04 and 28.11 min, respectively.
Occurrence and pathogenicity of various pathogenic fungi on cucurbits from Kermanshah province, Iran.

Cucurbits (Cucurbitaceae) are among the important plant families providing edible products to humans worldwide. It is known fact that various pathogenic fungi can attack the plants and cause diseases and resultantly yield losses. The aim of this study was to isolate and identify the plant pathogenic fungi from cucurbit plants and to evaluate their pathogenicity on cucurbits. A total of 101 cucurbit samples infected with diseases were collected from different places in Kermanshah Province, Iran. From these samples 101 strains of various pathogenic fungi were isolated and identified through morphological characters. All strains were belongs to Fusarium oxysporum, Macrophomina phaseolina, Phytophthora melonis, Phytophthora drechsleri, Pythium aphanidermatum and two morphotypes of Fusarium solani species complex (FSSC). P. aphanidermatum and Phytophthora sp. strains were recovered from the samples collected from irrigated field, while Fusarium and M. phaseolina strains from rain fed field. All these pathogenic fungi were evaluated to study their pathogenicity on cucumber (Cucumis sativum) and honeydew melon (Cucumis melo). P. melonis, P. drechsleri, F. oxysporum and P. aphanidermatum caused the damping off within 10 - 20 days on both plants tested. The stem rot symptoms were observed on the 7th day after inoculation of F. solani and M. phaseolina on both plants tested. The inoculated fungi were re-isolated from the diseased plants to prove the Koch’s postulates. This is the first comprehensive report on identity and distribution of major plant pathogenic fungi causing root and stem rots on cucurbits in west of Iran.
Genetic diversity analysis of rice varieties (Oryza sativa L.) based on morphological, pedigree and DNA polymorphism data

The diversity within 20 rice varieties used as progenitors in Cuban rice breeding programmes was analysed with respect to agro-morphological traits, pedigree and DNA markers. Eleven agro-morphological traits were scored, and phenotypic (Euclidian) distances between the rice varieties were calculated. Sixty random amplified polymorphism DNA (RAPD) and 115 amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) bands served to determine Dice's distance estimates. Cluster analyses were performed based on genetic distance matrices using the unweighted pair-group method of arithmetical means (UPGMA) as the clustering method. This analysis showed five phenotypic, six genealogical, five RAPD and six AFLP diversity groups. Genetic diversity estimates based on RAPD data, but not on AFLP, efficiently represented the genetic parentage and phenotypic diversity between rice varieties. Combined diversity estimates allowed the identification of 11 different genetic pools and permitted a more effective separation of the progenitor set than those obtained solely by phenotypic and genealogical information. The results of this study stress the necessity to diversify rice parental stocks for further breeding purposes.
THE EFFECT OF ONLINE MARKETING ON EXPORTING HEALTH PRODUCTS (IRANIAN

With regard to the increasing expansion of internet and communicative services, producers and sellers pay more attention to the internet and its use in selling products. In this article, first, the literature review toward the cosmetic products was discussed from different points of view. Then, a regression testing was used as a statistical method in this article. 384 individuals were used as the statistical population of this study. In this study, these people were selected from the health customers who at least bought something from the internet one more time. Also, in this article, SPSS software was used as an instrument for analyzing data in descriptive and inferential statistics. The results show that there is a direct and significant relationship between the inline marketing variables and exporting the products.
THE EFFECT OF ANXIETY AND CONFIDENCE ON RISKY DECISION MAKING IN COMPETITIVE AND NON-COMPETITIVE DECISION SETTINGS

In this paper we demonstrate that individual personality attributes, particularly anxiety and confidence, have an impact on decision risk behavior, a topic that has rarely been explored within the risk literature despite its theoretical and practical importance. We also show that decision context moderates the relationship between individual personality attributes and risk taking. Confidence positively affects risk taking behavior in both non-competitive and competitive contexts, while anxiety negatively affects risk taking in a non-competitive context but positively affects risk taking behavior in a competitive context. The findings point to the importance of both individual and situational factors in affecting risk taking behavior.
XIX Biannual Symposium on Measuring Techniques in Turbomachinery Transonic and Supersonic Flow in Cascades and Turbomachines

1. ABSTRACT The request to measure accurately radial and axial clearances has been intensified by the developments in high pressure compact turbomachinery. The blade tip gap is a vital parameter to characterize the turbine performance. The larger the tip clearance, the lower the turbine efficiency due to the increased loss associated with the hot jet flowing across the blade tip. Following the increasing demands in efficiency, these small clearances must be monitored to avoid mechanical rubbing. The appropriate design of control systems to adjust the turbine tip clearances requires a constant monitoring during the whole engine envelope. Although the blade clearance can be predicted in function of the RPM and thermal loads with numerical codes, tip clearance variability appears during the engine production. This paper describes the complete implementation of a high-frequency capacitive sensor on the shroud of a large transonic turbine stage. The objective is the measurement of tip clearance of each blade. This highpressure turbine is tested in a short duration facility with running times of less than 0.5 seconds, with temperature transients and accelerations. The calibration of the sensor is performed in situ. Preliminary results performed in a test bench at 1000 RPM together with the post processing procedure and uncertainty analysis are presented.
First report of the benthic dinoflagellate, Gambierdiscus belizeanus (Gonyaulacales: Dinophyceae) for the east coast of Sabah, Malaysian Borneo

Species of the genus Gambierdiscus Adachi & Fukuyo, in particular G. toxicus Adachi & Fukuyo are known producers of neurotoxins associated with ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP). In this study live samples were collected from seaweed beds of the east coast of Sabah, Malaysian Borneo and a strain of Gambierdiscus was isolated and cultured. Examination of the thecal fine morphology was undertaken using light, epifluorescence, and scanning electron microscopy. Observed morphological features and their associated morphometric information enabled identification to Gambierdiscus belizeanus Faust. This represents the first report for the occurrence of G. belizeanus in the Asia Pacific region.
Speciational Evolution: a Phylogenetic Test With Allozymes in Sceloporus (Reptilia)

Abstract— The potential role of speciation in accelerating evolutionary divergence remains controversial. Earlier tests based on genetic and morphologic distances which indicated an absence of speciational evolution rely on problematic assumptions. We provide a phylogenetic test in which amounts of discrete character change relative to an outgroup are compared between sister taxa. Although this test is constrained by a need to assume similar extinction rates in groups compared, it provides conceptual improvements regarding monophyly, equal age of taxa, and distribution of homoplasy. Based on analysis of 68 informative allozyme characters for 19 lizard species in the genus Sceloporus, significant speciational evolution and punctuational change is, at least, a viable explanation for the distribution of observed character changes.
Evaluation of Survival Rate and Physicochemical Properties of Encapsulated Bacteria in Alginate and Resistant Starch in Mayonnaise Sauce

Three types of symbiotic mayonnaise sauces, with free, encapsulated bacteria with calcium alginate (in 4% concentration) and encapsulated with calcium alginate and resistant starch by two strains of L. acidophilus and L. casei were manufactured in triplicate under the same conditions. The numbers of viable cells, pH, acidity and rheological properties’ of symbiotic mayonnaise samples during 91 days of storage in refrigerated (4°C) conditions was evaluated. It was observed that the number of viable cells of Lactobacillus acidophilus and L. casei was reduced significantly (p<0.05) from day 1 to day 91 of storage period in Free State comparing encapsulated bacteria in both type of them. Reduction of viable cells encapsulated with Hi maize-alginate had a slower rate than probiotic cells encapsulated with calcium alginate (4%) in both L. acidophilus and L. casei mayonnaise samples container types. About changing in pH and increasing acidity of symbiotic mayonnaise sauces, the samples containing free probiotic cells had the highest changing and samples inoculated encapsulated cells with Hi maize-alginate mixture had lowest changing in these factors between all sample types. Also there weren’t any significant changes in rheological properties of encapsulated symbiotic mayonnaise sample compared with control samples but in samples containing free cells a significant differences compared with control samples were seen. Finally, proved microencapsulation could help survival probiotic cells enough in therapeutic effects on consumers at the end of storage and modification encapsulation with adding Hi maize starch to calcium alginate improved preserving chemical qualities of symbiotic mayonnaise sauce.cells enough in therapeutic effects on consumers at the end of storage and modification encapsulation with adding Hi maize starch to calcium alginate improved preserving chemical qualities of symbiotic mayonnaise sauce.
Phylogenetic Systematics of Strophostyles (Fabaceae): A North American Temperate Genus Within a Neotropical Diversification

Abstract A combined parsimony analysis of cpDNA trnK, nrDNA ITS/5.8S, and morphology reveals that the genus Strophostyles is monophyletic. In contrast to the conventional view of the geographic relationships of eastern North America, Strophostyles is most closely related to neotropical genera. Its sister is the South American genus Dolichopsis, which is endemic to the Chaco, a region characterized by having an annual frost interval. Strophostyles is apomorphically diagnosed by divergent stipules, persistent secondary floral bracts, calyces with four acute to sometimes attenuate lobes, and seed testa often with a cellular coat. The relationship with Dolichopsis is supported in part by a shared keel petal morphology involving a gibbous ventral margin proximal to the rostrum. Phylogenetic analysis of ITS/5.8S sequences and morphometric analysis of quantitative traits suggest that the three traditionally recognized species of Strophostyles can be recognized under the phylogenetic species concept. Strophostyles umbellata is the most genetically variable at the ITS locus and geographically centered in southern Appalachia. Strophostyles helvola shows the least amount of intraspecific genetic variation at this locus, suggesting a recent and rapid range expansion throughout eastern North America. Nucleotide sequence variation is intermediate in Strophostyles leiosperma, a species distributed primarily in central North America.
Comparing Novel Sweet Cherry Crop Load Management Strategies

The development of novel crop load management techniques will be critical to the adoption and success of high density sweet cherry orchard systems based on new clonal rootstocks. Herein we report on a comparison of potential means of balancing crop load of 'Bing' sweet cherry grown on the productive and precocious rootstocks 'Gisela 5' and 'Gisela 6'. In 2002, thinning treatments were applied to entire trees and consisted of an unthinned control (C), and manual removal of 50% of the blossoms (B) or 50% of 2-year-old and older fruiting spurs (S), throughout the tree. In 2003 all trees were left unthinned to characterize the carry-over effect of thinning treatment in 2002. In 2002, compared to C, thinned trees had 38% to 49% fewer fruit per tree, 22% to 42% lower yield, 8% to 26% higher fruit weight, and 2% to 10% larger fruit diameter. S and B treat- ments reduced yield by 42% and 22% on 'Gisela 5' and by 40% and 31% on 'Gisela 6', respectively. 'Gisela 5'-rooted trees showed greater improvements in fruit quality than did trees on 'Gisela 6'. Compared to C-, S-, and B-treated trees on 'Gisela 5' yielded fruit that was 15% and 26% heavier, respectively. Yield of fruit ≥25.5 mm diameter was increased by 240% by S and 880% by B, though yield of this size fruit was still low (1.5 and 5.2 kg/tree, respectively). Neither technique had any benefi cial carryover effect in the year following treatment despite S trees bearing about 25% fewer fruit than B and C trees. In both years, 'Gisela 5'-rooted trees bore about 15% fewer fruit than trees on 'Gisela 6'. Compared to 'Gisela 5', 'Gisela 6'-rooted trees were about 41%, 46%, and 24% more productive for C, S, and B, respectively. Number of fruit/tree in 2003 was within 4% and 8% of the previous year on 'Gisela 6' and 'Gisela 5', respectively. Crop value analyses suggest growers would be rewarded for producing high yields of medium size fruit (e.g., 21.5 to 25.4 mm) compared to low yields of high quality fruit.
