Effect of growth regulation on growth and yield attributes of summer moongbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek]

A field experiment was conducted during summer season of 2013 in the Department of Agronomy, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab to study the effect of growth regulation on growth and yield attributes of summer moongbean. The field experiment comprising eight treatments viz., control and seven growth regulation treatments (detopping, MC (mepiquat chloride) @ 200, 250 and 300 ppm applied once at 35 days after sowing (DAS) and twice at 35 and 45 DAS was conducted in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications. The grain yield obtained with foliar application of MC @ 250 ppm at 35 and 45 DAS (10.05 q/ha) was significantly higher than control (6.70 q/ha). Various growth parameters and yield attributes (dry matter accumulation and number of pods per plant) were also significantly higher with MC @ 250 ppm (35 and 45 DAS) as compared to control. Detopping resulted in highest leaf area index (LAI), whereas all other growth regulation treatments were significantly better than control. Detopping resulted in significant reduction in plant height than control but was statistically at par with two applications of MC @ 250 and 300 ppm and single application of MC @ 300 ppm (35 DAS). Flower drop per plant was significantly reduced by two applications of MC @ 300 ppm. Quality parameters such as nitrogen and protein content in grains remained unaffected by growth regulation treatments. Nodule count and weight per plant were also unaffected by growth regulation treatments. Similarly, no effect on crop phenology was observed by any of the applied treatments.
The Relation between Employee Engagement and Organizational Commitment in Tourism and Hotels Sectors in the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism

Employee engagement is a relatively recent concept, yet, little is studied about its factors and outcomes in the tourism field especially governmental tourism authorities. The research aimed to determine the level of employee engagement and the factors affecting on this level at Tourism Promotion Authority; Tourism Companies and Tour Guides Sector and Tourism and Hotel Establishments Sector in the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism. Moreover, the research measured whether engagement differs according to demographic factors. On the other hand, it examined the relation between employee engagement and organizational commitment. The hypotheses of this research were measured through questionnaires. The main finding of this research indicated that the level of employee engagement at the two sectors is above average. The regression model clarified that training and development, internal communication, recognition and rewards; and leadership influenced on employees engagement. Moreover, there is a relation between employees' engagement and organizational commitment. Furthermore, there are no significant differences between the selected sectors in the dimensions of the research. on The career and management support as factors of measuring employee engagement. This that positive towards their organization‟s practices.
Synaptic Ultrastructure W ithin the Amphibian Papilla of Rana Pipiens Pipiens : Rostrocaudal Differences

Both afferent and efferent synapses were recon­ structed from serial thin sections in the amphibian papilla (AP) of the leopard frog, Rana pipiens pip­ iens. In rostral AP regions, a tall hair cell could be contacted by at least 16 afferent en passant termi­ nals and two or three efferent terminal swellings. Serial sections through afferent fiber terminals re­ vealed only one or two synaptic sites. All afferent synaptic sites had presynaptic bodies that were large in diameter and usually in close association with the plasma membrane. However, some presy­ naptic bodies were suspended within the cyto­ plasm. In the caudal AP, hair cells were contacted by as many as six afferent terminals. Although presynaptic bodies were smaller in caudal hair cells, they were more numerous than in rostral hair cells. Unlike rostral hair cells, caudal hair cells also made afferent-type synaptic sites on vesiculated terminals. These results confirm that there are ros­ trocaudal differences in the innervation and synap­ tic ultrastructure of hair cells in the AP. These ultrastructural differences are consistent with sev­ eral other morphological gradients found in the AP. If the differences in synaptic morphology are re­ lated to differences in the physiological properties of the synapse then it is possible that this would give rise to physiological differences between high- and low- frequency fibers.

Ipojuca-Pernambuco Water Basin, Brazil and Its Pluviometric Analysis

Precipitation has the possibility of spreading heterogeneously across the globe, and the alterations between the radiation balance in the zonal bands and the association with atmospheric dynamics make it possible to distinguish globally widespread rainfall regimes. The objective is to statistically analyze the buoyancy of precipitation in the area of the Ipojuca river basin - PE as a feeder source of the hydrological systems of the State of Pernambuco. The simplified statistical parameters were used to calculate mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variance, maximum and minimum absolute rainfall, annual rainfall, and their anomalies for the period 1962-2017. Increasing variability of annual and monthly precipitation occurs. The variability is greatest during the spring and summer seasons and lowest in the winter and fall seasons. Positive and negative anomalies were recorded in 7 and 18 municipalities respectively. Knowledge of local weather conditions about extreme rain events enables seasonal forecasting to be improved and helps decision-makers in government agencies avoid or minimize natural disasters. In general, it is verified that the local rainfall pattern is influenced by several precipitating systems that contribute to the amount of local precipitation and that their contributions are interconnected with the local and regional meso and micro-scale systems with the interaction of land use and land cover.
Investigating Car Users’ Driving Behaviour through Speed Analysis

Speed has been identified for a long time as a key risk factor in road traffic: inappropriate speeds contribute to a relevant part of traffic accidents. Many literature studies have focused on the relationship between speed and accident risk. Starting from this consideration this paper investigates traffic accident risk by analysing the travelling speeds recorded by real tests on the road. A survey was conducted to collect experimental speed values in a real context. A specific road segment, belonging to an Italian rural two-lane road, was repeatedly run by 27 drivers in order to collect the instantaneous speed values for each trajectory. Smartphone-equipped vehicles were used to record continuous speed data. The recorded data were used to calculate: the average speed, 50th and 85th percentile speed for each geometric element of the analysed road segment. The main result of the research is the classification of car users’ driving behaviour based on the speed values. By using the above mentioned ranges of speed, the classification provides three types of driving behaviour: safe, unsafe, and safe but potentially dangerous. It was found that only four drivers feature “safe” behaviour, driving in a safe manner on most of the road elements. However, the major part of drivers, even if they feature safe behaviour, could be dangerous for other drivers because they drive at very low speeds.
Microtubule Acetylation Is Required for Mechanosensation in Microtubule Acetylation Is Required for Mechanosensation in Drosophila Drosophila how this you.

touch perception. Here, we identify the major Drosophila a -tubulin acetylase (dTAT) and show that it plays key roles in several forms of mechanosensation. dTAT is highly expressed in the larval peripheral nervous system (PNS), but it is largely dispensable for neuronal morphogenesis. Mutation of the acetylase gene or the K40 acetylation site in a -tubulin impairs mechanical sensitivity in sensory neurons and behavioral responses to gentle touch, harsh touch, gravity, and vibration stimuli, but not noxious thermal stimulus. Finally, we show that dTAT is required for mechanically induced activation of NOMPC, a microtubule-associated transient receptor potential channel, and functions to maintain integrity of the microtubule cytoskeleton in response to mechanical stimulation. for NOMPC-dependent touch-evoked neuronal dTat an in dendritic microtubule plus ends in mechanosensory neurons, and taxol stabilization of the microtubule cytoskeleton rescues mechanorecep-tivity, suggesting that microtubule breakage and/or alterations in microtubule dynamics underlie the loss of touch sensitivity. We also observed that dTAT depletion in S2 cells altered their mechanical properties to make them more rigid, an effect that could alter NOMPC activation in neurons by increasing its threshold for activation. Collectively, our results suggest that K40 acetylation functions to stabilize the microtubule cytoskeleton and may tune cellular mechanics to promote NOMPC activation through its cytoplasmic microtubule-associated tension gate.

How to interact with a Cybercar? – Attitudes and expectations on the interaction and communication with fully automated vehicles

In this paper we are addressing the question how driverless vehicles (Cybercars) driving fully automated could interact with surrounding traffic participants. Cybercars present a new mobility approach and are dedicated to provide a new way of transportation for short to medium distances especially in city centres or on campus areas. As Cybercars are operated in non-dedicated environments the interaction with other either motorized or non-motorized, vulnerable road users becomes a crucial factor. We conducted a face-to-face interview study (N=14, structured interview, 25-53 minutes) at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) to investigate the expectations people have towards the concept of Cybercar and the interaction with Cybercars. On the one hand, results show that people prefer quite conservative interaction elements as known from conventional vehicles such as braking lights or indicators to predict the future behaviour of Cybercars. On the other hand, 53% of the participants wish additional information like a stopping announcement of the Cybercar or whether pedestrians were detected or not. Based on the results we discuss how Cybercars could be designed to optimize the interaction and communication with other traffic participants.
Empirical Investigation into the impact of Corporate Governance on Stock Returns in Pakistan: Evidence from Financial Sector of Pakistan

This study aims to investigate the impact of corporate governance on stock returns of commercial banks in Pakistan. Secondary data obtained and used from annual reports of banks and the Pakistan Stock Exchange database over a period from 2016-2020. The regression model is used to determine the influence of corporate governance on the stock returns in the banking sector. The results suggest that board size, a block of common shares, and individual & family block holdings have a significantly positive influence on stock returns while the board fraction, insiders’ block holdings, industrial block holdings, and firm leverage are negatively associated with stock returns. The findings provided practical implications for the firms striving to enhance better corporate governance mechanism to avail maximum stock returns.

Impact of air infiltration on buildings' performance : focus on the experimental study within timber-frame walls

Poor airtightness in buildings can lead to an over-consumption of energy and to many issues such as moisture damage and poor indoor climate. The timber frame constructions are particularly subject to air leakage and further knowledge in this field is needed to meet the regulation requirements tightened by the development of low-energy and passive houses. This study focuses on the impact of air infiltration on the buildings’ performance, both at the building and the wall assembly scales.The air infiltration through the envelope can disrupt the proper functioning of mechanical ventilation and increase the global energy load. This issue was first investigated numerically at the building scale on a wide range of housing and weather conditions. Simplified models working across the whole airtightness spectrum were established for the inclusion of natural infiltration in buildings’ total ventilation rate calculations. The airtightness was then considered at a smaller scale with the experimental characterization of timber frame wall assemblies, components and construction details, in particular with an original test set-up built for this purpose. A number of pressurization tests enabled to quantify the additional leakage air flow induced by specific airtightness defects and may be of use for building scale numerical simulations.The impact of air infiltration on the hygro-thermal performance of a wall is closely linked to the air dispersion inside it, but there is a lack of experimental studies and methods for the air path investigation. A new technique has therefore been developed, consisting in an innovative use of fluorescein micro-particles as tracer inside the insulation material. It was first applied to specific configurations: straight/angled air channels in contact with porous media. A simple analysis of the fluorescein concentration mappings enabled to investigate the impact of parameters such as the flow velocity, the insulation material and the geometry on the air infiltration in the glass wool, and gave evidences of phenomena such as the appearance of thin air gaps between the components of the wall. A fluorescein transport model was developed and coupled to a CFD model for finer analysis.Finally a case study on simple wall assemblies was carried out to compare experimental techniques, to verify their applicability to the air path study and to provide data for possible numerical model validation. The air dispersion at the inlet/outlet of the insulation was studied with both infrared thermography and the PIV. The air path inside the insulation layer was investigated using three experimental approaches: a temperature monitoring with thermocouples; a relative humidity monitoring with capacitive sensors SHT 75; and the use of fluorescein tracer micro-particles. The respective benefits and limitations of the various methods were identified to help in the selection of the most appropriate one for further studies.
Two years after lockdown: reviewing the effects of COVID‐19 on health services and support for adolescents living with HIV in South Africa

South Africa's progress towards the 95‐95‐95 goals has been significantly slower among adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV), among whom antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence, retention in care and viral suppression remain a concern. After 2 years of living with COVID‐19, it is important to examine the direct and indirect effects of the pandemic on healthcare resources, access to HIV services and availability of support structures, to assess their impact on HIV care for ALHIV.

T T Cell Help during Primary CD8 + CD4Vivo Does Not Replace the Requirement for Increasing the Survival of Dendritic Cells In

The survival of dendritic cells (DC) in vivo determines the duration of Ag presentation and is critical in determining the strength and magnitude of the resulting T cell response. We used a mouse model to show that Ag-loaded C57BL/6 DC (MHC class II (cid:1) / (cid:1) (MHC II (cid:1) / (cid:1) )) that reach the lymph node survived longer than Ag-loaded MHC II (cid:2) / (cid:2) DC, with the numbers of C57BL/6 DC being (cid:1) 2.5-fold the number of the MHC II (cid:2) / (cid:2) DC by day 4 and (cid:1) 5-fold by day 7. The differential survival of DC in vivo was not affected by low doses of LPS, but in vitro pretreatment with CD40L or with high doses of LPS increased the numbers of MHC II (cid:2) / (cid:2) DC to levels approaching those of C57BL/6 DC. Regardless of their numbers and relative survival in lymph nodes, MHC II (cid:2) / (cid:2) DC were profoundly defective in their ability to induce CTL responses against the gp33 peptide epitope, and were unable to induce expansion and optimal cytotoxic activity of CD8 (cid:1) T cells speciﬁc for the male Ag UTY. We conclude that CD4 (cid:1) T cell help for CD8 (cid:1) responses involves mechanisms other than the increased survival of Ag-presenting DC in the lymph node.
