Grown in tropical regions in the wide range of latitude between 30 ° N and S in temperate countries like the United States. The climate needs depends on the stage of development of culture. Plants have indeterminate growth habit, occurring at the same time vegetative and reproductive development. At the beginning of the flowering, the demand for nutritional and environmental conditions is high, because many events are occurring in the plant, such as production of leaves, flowers, roots, pegs, pegs penetration in the soil and the pods development. The climatic and nutritional needs must be met during the cycle . However, from the beginning of the flowering, the peanut crop has a high nutrient demand, and to achieve high yields it is necessary that the environmental conditions, nutrient supply and management are adequate. The plant is not influenced by photoperiod and the light is not limiting factor. The time of sowing is one of the main factors responsible for getting the climate demands of the plants .
Measurements of Flow Through a Bileaflet Mechanical Heart Valve in an Anatomically Accurate Model of the Aorta

The objective of this research is to experimentally investigate the flow characteristics past a bileaflet mechanical heart valve (BMHV) in an anatomical model of the aorta. The measurements were made within a mock circulation loop that produced physiological pressure and flow conditions of the aorta. The velocity was measured upstream and downstream of the valve at single points using laser Doppler velocimetry and on planes using planar particle image velocimetry. Viscous and turbulent stresses were evaluated as indicators of potential blood damage. Measurements were first made with a BMHV mounted at the inlet of an axisymmetric channel, which was similar in geometry to channels previously used, and then with the BMHV mounted at the inlet of an anatomical model of the aorta. By comparing these results, the effects of the anatomical shape of the aorta on the flow past the valve were determined. It was found that the level of turbulence past the valve was significantly greater in the axisymmetric model and that the shape of the anatomical aortic sinus, in particular, was effective in reducing turbulence. Additionally, measurements with the valve mounted in three orientations at the inlet of the anatomical aorta showed that the turbulence and the viscous stresses past the valve were lower when the valve was positioned such that its line of symmetry was parallel with the plane of aorta curvature than when it was normal to it. It was further found that flow in the right coronary artery was highest when the valve was positioned with its central orifice aligned with the opening to this artery. The results of this research may be used to assist surgeons in choosing the best implantation orientation of a BMHV.
Average Transmission Success Probability Bound for SWIPT Relay Networks

Wireless energy transferring technology offers a constant and instantaneous power for low-power applications such as Internet of Things (IoT) to become an affordable reality. This paper considers simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) over a dual-hop decode-and-forward (DF) relay network with the power-splitting (PS) energy harvesting protocol at the relay. The relay is equipped with a finite capacity battery. The system performance, which is characterized by the average success probability of source to destination transmission, is a function of the resource allocation policy that selects the PS ratio and the transmit energy of the relay. We develop a mathematical framework to find an upper bound for the maximum the average success probability. The upper bound is formulated by a discrete state space Markov decision problem (MDP) and make use of a policy iteration algorithm to calculate it.
Detecting Vulnerable Android Inter-App Communication in Dynamically Loaded Code

Java reflection and dynamic class loading (DCL) are effective features for enhancing the functionalities of Android apps. However, these features can be abused by sophisticated malware to bypass detection schemes. Advanced malware can utilize reflection and DCL in conjunction with Android Inter-App Communication (IAC) to launch collusion attacks using two or more apps. Such dynamically revealed malicious behaviors enable a new type of stealthy, collusive attacks, bypassing all existing detection mechanisms. In this paper, we present DINA, a novel hybrid analysis approach for identifying malicious IAC behaviors concealed within dynamically loaded code through reflective/DCL calls. DINA continuously appends reflection and DCL invocations to control-flow graphs; it then performs incremental dynamic analysis on such augmented graphs to detect the misuse of reflection and DCL that may lead to malicious, yet concealed, IAC activities. Our extensive evaluation on 3,000 real-world Android apps and 14,000 malicious apps corroborates the prevalent usage of reflection and DCL, and reveals previously unknown and potentially harmful, hidden IAC behaviors in real-world apps.
The Effect of Withdrawing Growth Promoting Antibiotics from Broiler Chickens: A Long-Term Commercial Industry Study

SUMMARY A comprehensive study with close to 7 million growing broilers spanning 3 yr and 158 pairedhouses was conducted in two different geographic locations under industry conditions. A limited numberoffarms,mosthavingtunnel-ventilated,dark-outfacilitiesandallhavingsimilarequipment were selected to enhance repeatability over time. Equal numbers of birds from different breeder flocks were placed in the trial and control houses. The control treatment used the current field feed coccidiostat, roxarsone, and growth-promoting antibiotics (GPA) program, and the trial was identical to the control treatment with no GPA. The average age of all flocks in the entire trial was 52 d of age. Removal of GPA from the feed resulted in an average reduction in livability of 0.2% on the Delmarva Peninsula (DMV) and 0.14% in North Carolina (NC), an average decrease in body weight of 0.03 lb on DMV and 0.04 lb in NC, and an average increase in feed conversion ratio of 0.016 on DMV and 0.0. 012 in NC. Skin color scores and field condemnations were not significantly negatively impacted by removing GPA. Both male and female body weights were less uniform without GPA. Placing new litter on farms resulted in only temporary improvement in field performance of birds given no GPA. The pattern of difference for feed conversion between trial and control over time was different between geographic locations. This study clearly shows that making a decision to withdraw GPA should not be made with only limited data conducted in one location or over a short time.

Age-Specific Survival Estimates of King Eiders Derived from Satellite Telemetry

Abstract. Age- and sex-specific survival and dispersal are important components in the dynamics and genetic structure of bird populations. For many avian taxa survival rates at the adult and juvenile life stages differ, but in long-lived species juveniles' survival is logistically challenging to study. We present the first estimates of hatch-year annual survival rates for a sea duck, the King Eider (Somateria spectabilis), estimated from satellite telemetry. From 2006 to 2008 we equipped pre-fiedging King Eiders with satellite transmitters on breeding grounds in Alaska and estimated annual survival rates during their first 2 years of life with known-fate models. We compared those estimates to survival rates of adults marked in the same area from 2002 to 2008. Hatch-year survival varied by season during the first year of life, and model-averaged annual survival rate was 0.67 (95% CI: 0.48–0.80). We did not record any mortality during the second year and were therefore unable to estimate second-year survival rate. Adults' survival rate was constant through the year (0.94, 95% CI: 0.86–0.97). No birds appeared to breed during their second summer. While 88% of females with an active transmitter (n = 9) returned to their natal area at the age of 2 years, none of the 2-year old males (n = 3) did. This pattern indicates that females' natal philopatry is high and suggests that males' higher rates of dispersal may account for sex-specific differences in apparent survival rates of juvenile sea ducks when estimated with mark—recapture methods.
CHANGES IN RAW MILK QUALITY IN HERDS INFECTED WITH MYCOBACTERIUM AVIUM SUBSP. PARATUBERCULOSIS

The relationship between the results of serological examination for Mycobacterium avium subspec. paratuberculosis infection and milk production and milk quality in cows showing no clinical symptoms of Johne’s disease was studied. Total cell count, somatic cell count and milk yield were assayed over 12 months in 4 dairy cattle herds. It was demonstrated that seropositive and serodoubful animals showed lower milk yield than seronegative animals. The quality of raw milk yielded by seropositive and serodoubful cows was worse than the quality of milk produced by seronegative cows.
ISOLATION OF BACILLUS MEGATERIUM FROM APHIS POMI (HOMOPTERA: APHIDIDAE) AND ASSESSMENT OF ITS PATHOGENICITY

SUMMARY Bacillus megaterium isolates were recovered from the green apple aphid, Aphis pomi De Geer, collected from apple trees in the Samsun province of Turkey. The lethality of nine B. megaterium isolates was assayed on A. pomi at 28-30°C. The isolates caused between 92% and 100% mortality within one week, with no significant differences amongst them. In contrast, there was a significant difference between all isolates and the control at P<0.05. The highest death rate (100%) was induced by the bacterial isolate No. 23 (Bmin23). After bacterial application on A. pomi, there was a slowing down of movement, cessation of feeding and development of a brown-black discoloration in diseased aphids within three days. Death followed within five days.
Restatement Disclosures and Management Earnings Forecasts

SYNOPSIS: We examine the impact of financial restatements on managers' subsequent earnings forecasts. We argue that restatements create conflicting incentives. One incentive is to repair manager reputations as information providers by providing more and better guidance via earnings forecasts. The opposing incentive is to avoid risk by reducing the information in forecasts. We find that compared to control firms, restatement companies exhibit a decreased propensity to issue quarterly earnings forecasts following restatements. Those that do make forecasts issue fewer forecasts in post-restatement periods. We also find that post-restatement forecasts are less precise, and are less optimistically biased. Overall, our results suggest that, rather than increasing voluntary disclosure in the form of forecasts, managers of restatement companies exhibit risk-averting forecasting behavior following restatements.
Habitat occurrence and feeding ecology of Crocidura montis and Lophuromys flavopunctatus on Mt. Elgon, Uganda

The distribution, habitat occurrence and feeding ecology of Crocidura montis and Lophuromys flavopunctatus coexisting in the afro-alpine zone on Mt. Elgon, Uganda, are described. Crocidura montis was the only shrew species occupying the afro-alpine zone, but was not found in forested habitats below 3200 m. While there was considerable overlap in habitat occurrence between the two species, C. montis was most abundant in the montane grassland and in drier sites while L. flavopunctatus occupied a wider range of habitats and wetter sites. C. montis ate a diversity of invertebrates, the most important being Coleoptera, Araneae and Lumbricidae. Invertebrates, mostly Diptera larvae, Lumbricidae and Coleoptera, formed a major component of the L. flavopunctatus diets, plus plant material (particularly Hepaticae and monocots). The arthropod components of the diets reflected their abundance in pitfall samples. Resume On decrit la distribution, l'habitat et les habitudes alimentaires de Crocidura montis et de Lophuromys flavopunctatus qui coexistent dans la zone afro-alpine du mont Elgon, en Ouganda. Crocidura montis est la seule espece de musaraigne qui occupe la zone afro-alpine mais on ne la trouve pas dans les habitats forestiers en dessous de 3200 m. Bien qu'il y eut un important recouvrement de l'habitat des deux especes, C. montisetait surtout abondant dans les prairies de montagne et dans les sites plus secs tandis que L. flavopunctatus occupait une plus large gamme d'habitats et des sites plus humides. C.montis mange toute une variete d'invertebres, les plus importants etant les coleopteres, les arachnides et les Lombricidae. D'autre part, des invertebres, et surtout des larves de dipteres, des Lombricidae et des coleopteres, etaient parmi les composantes principales du regime de L. flavopunctatus, auxquelles s'ajoutaient des matieres vegetales (particulierement des hepatiques et des monocotyledones).

Relationship between mental health and eating disorders in female students of Guilan University

Background: One of the most common psychological disorders is eating disorder which leads to high comorbidity and is mostly observed in teenage and young girls. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between mental health and eating disorders as well as determining the mental health differences in female students with and without eating disorders. Methods: This was a causal-comparative study in which 420 female students of Guilan University were investigated in 2010. The students, who were selected based on available sampling, completed the eating attitude test (EAT-26) and general health questionnaires (GHQ-28). Test-retest and Cronbach’s alpha were used to identify the reliability and validity of questionnaires. The independent t-test and regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Findings: Based on the EAT-26cut off score, 25.7% and 74.3% and of students were found with and without eating disorders, respectively. Also, there was a significant difference between anxiety in students with and without eating disorder (P<0/05), however, no significant difference between depression, somatic symptoms, social withdrawal, and total score in general psychological health was found in two groups. Regression analysis showed that anxiety could be a suitable predictor for eating disorders. Conclusion: According to our data, anxiety is one of the factors associated with eating disorders in female students and it can predict the presence of eating disorders better than other psychological factors.
Spatial-Temporal Densely Connected CNN-LSTM Nets: An Application to CO2 Leakage Detection

In carbon capture and sequestration (also known as carbon capture and storage, or CCS), developing effective monitoring methods is needed to detect and respond to CO2 leakage. CO2 leakage detection methods rely on geophysical observations and monitoring sensor network. However, traditional methods usually require development of site-specific physical models and expert interpretation, and the effectiveness of these methods can be limited to the different application locations, operational scenarios, and conditions. In this paper, we developed a novel data-driven leakage detection method based on densely connected convolutional neural networks. Our method is an end-to-end detection approach, that differs from conventional leakage monitoring methods by directly learning a mapping relationship between seismic data and the CO2 leakage mass. To account for the spatial and temporal characteristics of seismic data, our novel networks architecture combines 1D and 2D convolutional neural networks. To overcome the computational expense of solving optimization problems, we apply a densely-connecting strategy in our network architecture that reduces the number of network parameters. Based on the features generated by our convolutional neural networks, we further incorporate a long short-term memory network to utilize time-sequential information, which further improves the detection accuracy. Finally, we employ our detection method to synthetic seismic datasets generated based on flow simulations of a hypothetical CO2 storage scenario with injection into a partially compartmentalized sandstone storage reservoir. To evaluate method performance, we conducted multiple experiments including a random leakage test, a sequential test, and a robustness test.
Mobilizing mHealth Data Collection in Older Adults: Challenges and Opportunities

Worldwide, there is an unprecedented and ongoing expansion of both the proportion of older adults in society and innovations in digital technology. This rapidly increasing number of older adults is placing unprecedented demands on health care systems, warranting the development of new solutions. Although advancements in smart devices and wearables present novel methods for monitoring and improving the health of aging populations, older adults are currently the least likely age group to engage with such technologies. In this commentary, we critically examine the potential for technology-driven data collection and analysis mechanisms to improve our capacity to research, understand, and address the implications of an aging population. Alongside unprecedented opportunities to harness these technologies, there are equally unprecedented challenges. Notably, older adults may experience the first-level digital divide, that is, lack of access to technologies, and/or the second-level digital divide, that is, lack of use/skill, alongside issues with data input and analysis. To harness the benefits of these innovative approaches, we must first engage older adults in a meaningful manner and adjust the framework of smart devices to accommodate the unique physiological and psychological characteristics of the aging populace. Through an informed approach to the development of technologies with older adults, the field can leverage innovation to increase the quality and quantity of life for the expanding population of older adults.
Manutenção da qualidade de rosas cortadas cv. Vega em soluções conservantes

The rose is considered one of the most traditional and required cut flowers in the world market. However, after cutting, these flowers become highly perishable, because the high metabolic activity leads to senescence processes. The experiment was accomplished to verify the effect of holding solutions on the postharvest physiology of cut red roses, cv. Vega. A randomized design in a factorial scheme composed by two factors was used: seven postharvest treatments and four evaluation dates. The flowers remained in the following holding solutions: 1) Distilled water; 2) 8-hydroxyquinoline citrate (200 mg L-1); 3) 8-hydroxyquinoline citrate (200 mg L-1) + Sucrose (20 mg L-1); 4) Citric acid (75 mg L-1); 5) Citric acid (75 mg L-1) + Sucrose (20 mg L-1); 6) 6-benzyladenine (60 mg L-1); 7) 6-benzyladenine (60 mg L-1) + Sucrose (20 mg L-1). Qualitative and physiologic analyses were carried out during the evaluation period. The treatment with 8-hydroxyquinoline citrate and citric acid were the most promising to keep the quality and extend the vase life of flowers content; better maintenance of soluble and reducing carbohydrates, anthocyanin and color.
Learnable Descent Algorithm for Nonsmooth Nonconvex Image Reconstruction

We propose a general learning based framework for solving nonsmooth and nonconvex image reconstruction problems. We model the regularization function as the composition of the $l_{2,1}$ norm and a smooth but nonconvex feature mapping parametrized as a deep convolutional neural network. We develop a provably convergent descent-type algorithm to solve the nonsmooth nonconvex minimization problem by leveraging the Nesterov's smoothing technique and the idea of residual learning, and learn the network parameters such that the outputs of the algorithm match the references in training data. Our method is versatile as one can employ various modern network structures into the regularization, and the resulting network inherits the guaranteed convergence of the algorithm. We also show that the proposed network is parameter-efficient and its performance compares favorably to the state-of-the-art methods in a variety of image reconstruction problems in practice.
