GROWTH AND ENERGY QUALITY OF EUCALYPTUS WOOD IN DIFFERENT CROP-LIVESTOCK-FOREST SPATIAL ARRANGEMENTS

The aim of the present study was to assess the growth and energetic properties of genetic material of eucalyptus grown in several integrated crop-livestock system spatial arrangements in Barra-do-Garças City (MT). The genetic material of 76-month old Eucalyptus spp from eight spatial arrangements were assessed according to the following properties: diameter, height and volume growth, mortality rate, dry matter yield, sapwood to heartwood ratio, form factor, bark volume, basic density, superior calorific value, ash content, volatile matter, fixed carbon and trunk energy. Data analysis was performed by adjusting growth function, test for model identity and parameters equality and ANOVA tests to Scott-Knott’s mean clustering test. Eucalyptus grandis x E. urophylla clones from recorded the highest energy efficiency due to their high yield volume, which was decisive to determine estimated energy available per tree and cropland area. Growth, stem shape and basic density varied among, and within, the same genetic materials, depending on their respective spatial arrangement. However, solid biomass properties (high calorific value, ash content, fixed carbon and volatile matter) remained stable.

Functional Significance of Na,K- and H,K-ATPase β-Subunits

Na,K-ATPase and gastric H,K-ATPase are primary active transporters that belong to the superfamily of P-type ATPases. These membrane proteins utilize the energy released by the hydrolysis of ATP to transport their cationic substrates against electrochemical gradients. Despite more than 50 years of extensive research on P-type ATPases, the molecular details of their ion transport mechanisms are not fully understood. Especially for oligomeric P-type ATPases, such as Na,K- and H,K-ATPases, which require an accessory β-subunit for their transport activity, many open questions remain, since only recently structural information became available. This thesis encompasses a comprehensive analysis of Na,K- and H,K-ATPase mutations in conserved β-subunit regions and other domains that may be relevant for interactions to the respective α-subunit according to the recently available structural data. Therefore, this work contributes to the understanding of how β-subunits influence the transport activity of P2C-type ATPases and provides a clue to the question whether similar molecular mechanisms are responsible for this kind of cation transport modulation of the two related ion pumps.
Study on genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance in garden pea (Pisum sativum var. hortense L.)

In present study 25 Genotypes of garden pea were evaluated at Horticulture Research Farm, SHUATS, Prayagraj Uttar Pradesh, for eighteen parameters through genetic variability, heritability and genetic advances for yield and yield attributing Characters. Results revealed that, the maximum pod yield per plant was recorded in variety Jawahar Matar-54 followed by Variety Arkel. Heritability exerts at high degree for almost all characters studies viz pod width, shelling percentage, moisture percentage, pod yield t/hac, pod yield/plant (g), total number of leaves, total number of tendrils, days to first flowering, days to first pod set, days to 50% flowering, plant height, plant spread, average pod length, days to first pod picking, average pod weight. In the present study high heritability (bs) coupled with high genetic advances as (% of mean) were observed for the characters total number of tendrils, total number of leaves, days to first flowering, days to first pod set, days to 50% flowering, plant height, pod yield tonnes/ha, pod yield/plant (g), days to first pod picking, average pod length, average pod weight, pod width, shelling percentage. The estimation of phenotypic coefficient of variance was higher than the genotypic coefficient of variance for all traits. Therefore from the above obtained results it can be concluded that the characters will result in effective crop improvement for higher yield and yield attributing characters.
Elevational Distribution of Temperate Lianas along Trails in Pisgah National Forest

Abstract In several regions of the world, the species richness of lianas (woody vines) has been shown to decrease as elevation increases. Little is known about the relationship between elevation and lianas in temperate forests of eastern North America. We documented the elevational distribution of 4 high-climbing, native lianas in Pisgah National Forest (western North Carolina) by recording the elevations of 427 vine occurrences along 53 km of trails. All 4 taxa occurred at the lowest elevations. Mean elevations of Toxicodendron radicans (Poison Ivy; 873 ± 71 m) Parthenocissus quinquefolia (Virginia Creeper; 895 ± 103 m) and Vitis spp. (wild grape; 962 ±103 m) were similar. Isotrema macrophyllum (Pipevine) had a mean elevation of 1193 ± 194 m and was the only liana occurring >1300 m. Further study is needed in the forest interior and to determine how factors such as soil moisture, forest structure, stem anatomy, spatial relationships with pollinators and seed dispersers, or other factors may influence the elevational distribution of lianas in the mountains.
Deep Neural Network Design for Modeling Individual-Level Travel Mode Choice Behavior

Individual-level modeling is an essential requirement for effective deployment of smart urban mobility applications. Mode choice behavior is also a core feature in transportation planning models, which are used for analyzing future policies and sustainable plans such as greenhouse gas emissions reduction plans. Specifically, an agent-based model requires an individual level choice behavior, mode choice being one such example. However, traditional utility-based discrete choice models, such as logit models, are limited to aggregated behavior analysis. This paper develops a model employing a deep neural network structure that is applicable to the travel mode choice problem. This paper uses deep learning algorithms to highlight an individual-level mode choice behavior model, which leads us to take into account the inherent characteristics of choice models that all individuals have different choice options, an aspect not considered in the neural network models of the past that have led to poorer performance. Comparative analysis with existing behavior models indicates that the proposed model outperforms traditional discrete choice models in terms of prediction accuracy for both individual and aggregated behavior.
Role of Sevoflurane on Natural Killer Group 2, Member D-Mediated Immune Response in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer: An In Vitro Study

Background The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of sevoflurane on cancer immunosurveillance and metastasis in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Material/Methods NCI-H23 cells, a human NSCLC cell line, were incubated with or without sevoflurane at the concentrations of 0, 12.5, 25, 50, 100, and 200 μM for 6 h. Cell viability, the expression of natural killer group 2, member D ligands (NKG2D ligands: UL16-binding proteins 1–3 [ULBP1–3] and major histocompatibility complex class I chain-related molecules A/B [MICA/B]), the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity, and cancer cell migration were measured. Results At 12.5, 25, 50, and 100 μM, sevoflurane increased the expression of NKG2D ligands (ULBP2–3 and MICA, ULBP1–3, ULBP1–3, and ULBP1, respectively). Sevoflurane decreased the expression of NKG2D ligands at 200 μM (MICA/B). NK cell-mediated lysis of NCI-H23 cells at 200 μM sevoflurane was significantly reduced compared with the control (P=0.025; target cell: effect cell=1: 10). Sevoflurane increased the expression of MMP-1, -2, and -9 and increased cell migration in NCI-H23 cells at 50, 100, and 200 μM (P=0.001, 0.035, and 0.039, respectively, compared with the control after 18 h of wound formation). Conclusions Sevoflurane could suppress NKG2D-mediated NK cell cytotoxicity and increased expression of MMPs and migration in NCI-H23 cells. Further research is needed to determine the effects of sevoflurane on cancer immunosurveillance and metastasis in NSCLC.
Relationship of milking traits and somatic cell count with electrical conductivity of goat milk during different milking phases

The aim of this study was to estimate the relation between milking traits and somatic cell count with electrical conductivity of goat milk during different milking phases. The research was carried out in the herd of Czech White Shorthaired and Saanen goat breeds (n=323) with the help of the electronic milk flow meter LactoCorder®. The milk yield, milking duration, milking flow rate and electrical conductivity of milk in the different phases of milking showed the significant mean differences between the breeds. Almost all (except electrical conductivity during the initial time) investigated indicators of electrical conductivity had a significant positive correlation with SCC. The bimodality of milk flow was determined in 9.69 % of goats and associated with milk yield decrease and SCC increase (P<0.05). The results confirm that the milk flow curve data is a good tool to control milking traits of goats, to predict the prevalence of mastitis and, thus, to improve the health of the udder of goats.
ROLE OF FLUORIDE IN DENTAL CARIES RE-MINERALIZATION: A REVIEW

Isha Bisla Library dissertation submitted in the Department of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, as a part of MDS research, Swami Devi Dyal Hospital and Dental College, Barwala, Panchkula, Pandit Bhagwat Dayal Sharma University of Health Sciences, Rohtak, Haryana, India, 132001. Manuscript Info Abstract . Manuscript History Received: 30 June 2020 Final Accepted: 31 July 2020 Published: August 2020 Traditional management of dental caries has focused primarily on treatment via the excision of diseased tissues and subsequent restoration of the defect (Tsang et al., 2006). [1] Mechanical tooth preparation is a destructive and irreversible method of removing the natural dental tissues. The artificial dental materials closely resemble those of natural dental tissues are in use now a days for dental caries refilling. Dental restorations and even implants cannot replace natural teeth completely (Stewart and Hale 2003). [2] Dental caries is a disease that involves the localized chemical dissolution of dental hard tissues due to acids produced by plaque bacteria in bio-film that covers the affected area (Fejerskov, 2008 ). [3] A comprehensive treatment plan for dental caries should include, elimination of cariogenic bacteria, reducing plaque acidogenicity, enhancing tooth remineralisation, and repairing the damaged teeth. Contemporary caries management philosophy has changed from the traditional surgical approach to a medical model, which often includes dietary analysis and advice, oral hygiene instruction, placement of fissure sealants, and the use of fluoride therapy, xylitol chewing gum, and antimicrobial agents such as chlorhexidine. Various forms of fluoride therapy are used to prevent and sometimes to arrest caries, although the effects of fluoride therapy are related to the chemical composition of the fluoride product and the method used to apply the material to the tooth surface (Chu, 2007).

Investigation of reading error types, reading levels and reading speeds of students with special learning difficulties

The main aim of this study is to investigate reading error types, reading levels and reading speeds of students with special learning difficulties (SLD). A case study model was used in the research. The research was carried out with 34 students enrolled in Grades 3–8, who were diagnosed with SLD in Konya in the 2019–2020 academic year. In the data analysis, while ‘error analysis’ was used for reading error types, the formula Number of Words Correctly Read ÷ Total Word Number of Text × 100 was utilised to determine reading levels. As for the identification of reading rates, the number of words read correctly in one minute was determined. According to the results of the research, the error types displayed by the students with SLD in the texts that are suitable for the classes that they attend and in the texts that belong to lower grade levels than their actual grade levels were found to be misreading, hesitating while reading, repeating, omitting a sound/syllable/word or skipping a line, substituting a sound/syllable or a word, pausing while reading, correction and reversing sounds. Keywords: Special learning difficulties, reading difficulty, reading error types, reading levels, case study.
Working memory and reasoning tasks are associated with different modes of large-scale brain dynamics in healthy older adults

Researchers have proposed that solving complex reasoning problems, a key indicator of fluid intelligence, involves the same cognitive processes as solving working memory tasks. This proposal is supported by an overlap of the functional brain activations associated with the two types of tasks and by high correlations between inter-individual differences in performance. We replicated these findings in fifty-three older subjects but also showed that solving reasoning and working memory problems favors different modes of large-scale neurodynamics and that this dissimilarity increases with higher difficulty load. Specifically, superior performance in a typical working memory paradigm (n-back) was associated with up-regulation of modularity (increased between-network segregation), whereas performance in the reasoning task was associated with effective down-regulation of modularity. We also showed that working memory training promotes task-invariant increases in modularity. Since superior reasoning performance is associated with down-regulation of modular dynamics, training may thus have fostered an inefficient way of solving the reasoning tasks. This could help explain why working memory training does little to promote complex reasoning performance. The study concludes that complex reasoning abilities cannot be reduced to working memory and suggests the need to reconsider the feasibility of using working memory training interventions to attempt to achieve effects that transfer to broader cognition. Significance statement Reasoning ability (fluid intelligence) is important to many real-life outcomes. Understanding the cognitive and neural processes involved in reasoning is therefore of great interest. Some have suggested that reasoning is structurally similar to working memory (WM). As expected, we found that performance in reasoning and WM tasks was highly correlated and brain activation patterns overlapped. However, complex reasoning performance was better when brain networks were interacting in a more globally integrated way, whereas the opposite was true of WM. WM training increased the level of between-network segregation in ways that did not vary by task, which could be one reason why WM training did little to promote complex reasoning performance. Complex reasoning cannot be reduced to WM.
Phenotypic characterization of some foodpoisoning bacteria isolated from meat and meat products in Kaliobia, Egypt

The present study was performed on 250 random samples of fresh meat and meat products viz: Beef burger, kofta; minced meat and sausage (50 for each), were collected from different shops (25gm from each sample) at Kaliobia Governorate, Egypt, for detection the prevalence of some toxigenic food-borne bacteria , beside the phenotypic characterization and detection of some virulence genes . Bacteriological examination of the collected samples resulted in, isolation of 90 (36.0%) isolates of S. aureus isolates (41/16.4%); E. coli (25 /10.0%); B. cereus (21/8.4%) and Salmonella (3/1.2%) were recovered from 250 samples. ,Seven serogroups (O55:H7; O111:H4; O125:H18; O126:H7; O128:H27; O142:H2and O158:H2) were detected in 25 isolated E. coli strains. The antibiotic sensitivity tests for the isolated strains show multiple antibiotic resistances (ampicillin; methicillin; oxytetracycline; amoxicillin; streptomycin; erythromycin; doxycycline and cefotaxime). Therefore, E. coli; S. aureus and B. cereus strains especially antibiotic resistances ones are meat-borne pathogens of public health important.
Effets de la fragmentation forestière sur l’activité des coléoptères coprophages : dispersion secondaire des graines en Guyane française

L'effet de l'enfouissement des graines contenues dans les excrements par les coleopteres coprophages sur la survie des graines et l'etablissement des plantules a ete mesure chez Tetragastris altissima (Burseracees) sur 3 sites en foret continue et 7 iles resultant de l'inondation de la foret dense par l'homme a Saint-Eugene en Guyane francaise. Des experiences utilisant un total de 250 graines ont ete menees avec un dispositif fait d'enclos laissant agir les coleopteres coprophages a l'abri des predateurs terrestres de graines. Il n'a pas ete detecte d'effet de la fragmentation sur les taux de disparition des excrements apres 12, 24 et 48 h en raison de la grande variabilite entre sites. Un pourcentage moyen de 24 % des graines a ete enfoui par les coprophages apres 72 h. La fragmentation n'a pas eu d'effet sur l'enfouissement des graines qui a montre une grande variabilite entre sites. La disparition des excrements etait positivement correlee a la rarefaction des echantillons de coprophages captures sur les sites, a l'abondance ponderee des grands fouisseurs diurnes apres 12 h et avec celle du total des fouisseurs apres 24 h. L'enfouissement des graines a ete positivement correle aux abondances ponderees des grands fouisseurs nocturnes et du total des grands fouisseurs. La diversite specifique et l'abondance des coprophages etait positivement correlee a la superficie des sites mais il n'y avait aucune correlation entre l'enfouissement des excrements ou des graines et la superficie. Apres 72 h, le taux de survie des graines protegees en surface (78 %) a ete significativement superieur a celui des graines non protegees (22 %), soumises a la predation des rongeurs. Il n'a pas ete observe de differences de survie entre la terre ferme et les iles. Huit pour cent des graines enfouies protegees ont emerge, soit 2 % de l'effectif initial. Le taux d'emergence des graines enfouies est significativement affecte par la profondeur. Il a ete de 90 % en surface mais il a ete nul a 10 et 15 cm de profondeur. L'effet des coprophages sur le succes de la regeneration precoce de T. altissima a ete faible et a varie selon les sites en relation avec la structure de la communaute de Scarabeides et l'intensite de la predation des graines au sol.
Examining Argument Elements and Logical Fallacies of English Education Students in Oral Discussion

This study aims to report on the argument elements and logical fallacies performed by English education students. This study is framed within a descriptive qualitative study in that it interprets the ways students of English education deliver their arguments. The data were collected through observation, recording and in-depth interviews on the objects studied. The findings of this study showed that the students’ ability to present logical arguments varies with the dominant label in the “non-standard argument” category. In regard to the logical fallacy, hasty generalization becomes the most general logical fallacy found in students’ arguments, followed by the appeal to pity, the appeal to fear, the questionable statistics, the slippery slope, the appeal to the bandwagon, the circular reasoning, the pointing to another wrong, and the personal attack. Based on the interview, lack of understanding of arguments and logical fallacies, limited vocabularies, as well as nervousness are identified as the possible causes of these phenomenons. Finally, it is suggested that students should be given exposures on how to structurize the logical arguments and avoid logical fallacies.
Gangbangin on the [Face]Book: Understanding Online Interactions of Chicago Latina/o Gangs

Objectives: This study examines gang group processes on the digital street to understand if gang processes in the online environment mimic those on geographic street corners. Specifically, this paper examines what conditions influence whether gangs interact negatively or positively in online spaces and how online interactions relate to geographic proximity of gangs. Methods: This study uses digital trace data web scraped from a public Facebook about Chicago Latina/o gangs combined with geographic locations of gang territories. Negative binomial regression models are used to investigate the conditions under which gangs interact with one another. Results: This study finds that interactions among gangs are conditional on the type of post displayed and negative gang interactions in online spaces are moderately correlated with geographic proximity. Conclusions: The tendency to show identification with the gang group or hostility to rival groups is not always evident. Rather, interactions are contextualized in the situation of the online environment. In addition, in our sample geographic proximity is not a primary condition of gang interactions. The digital street enables gang members to interact with other gangs in faraway locales and individuals in close geographic proximity. We find gang members take the opportunity to interact with both groups.
