Growth, yield and quality of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) as influenced by nitrogen, phosphorus and bio-fertilizers

A field experiment was conducted at Sardarkrushinagar (Gujarat) during 2006–07 and 2007–08 to study response of nitrogen, phosphorus and bio-fertilizers on fenugreek with 16 treatment combinations in factorial RBD with three replications. The soil of the experimental field was low in organic carbon, available nitrogen, medium in phosphorus and good in respect to available potassium. Application of 20 kg N and 40 kg P2O5/ha gave significantly higher plant height at all the growth stages, and seed, straw and biological yields as well as protein content in seed and straw over 10 kg N and 20 kg P2O5/ha, respectively. Combined inoculation of seed with Rhizobium and PSB and their sole application significantly gave higher plant height over control at all the growth stages but significantly the highest seed, straw and biological yield as well as protein content in seed and straw was recorded with combined inoculation of seed with Rhizobium and PSB, which was higher over their individual application and control. Sole application of both Rhizobium and PSB was found at par in respect to seed, straw and biological yield. Harvest index was not significantly influenced with N, P and bio-fertilizer levels.
The Design of the Autonomous Ratio Memory Cellular Nonlinear Network without Elapsed Operation for Pattern Learning and Recognition

The associative memory is of significant attention in the field of pattern recognition and recovery. It is proven that the cellular nonlinear network with the aid of ratio memory (RMCNN) can be used to implement as a kind of associative memory. However, there are still some imperfections that require further improvement for the existing RMCNN system. For example, the pattern recognition rate of RMCNN drops quickly as the environmental noise level raises. Moreover, the die area of the existing chip is too large (4.56mm x 3.90mm), which might suffer from the impact of process variation more seriously. Therefore, the chip area reduction and optimization are necessary. A new type of CNN associative memory called the Autonomous Ratio-Memory Cellular Nonlinear Network (ARMCNN) is proposed and analyzed. In the proposed ARMCNN, there is no elapsed operation to perform weight enhancement as well. During recognition period, the noisy input patterns are sent into cells as initial cell state voltages, which in comparison with constantly injecting the noisy input patterns, yields a better recognition rate in simulation. During pattern learning period, the ratio weight is original generated by comparing the four neighboring absolute weights with their mean value. The absolute weights that are bigger
Foreword

Ten years ago, on October 10, 1980, the formal opening of the Very Large Array was held. This was an auspicious event in the history of radio astronomy, as the VLA was by far the largest, most sensitive, and most flexible radio telescope ever built. And it retains all of these superlatives today. The fact that the VLA could be built at all was due to a combination of factors, not the least of which was the technical maturity of the techniques of radio astronomy and of radio interferometry. The growth of radio astronomy has been meteoric, largely due to the rapid developments of radio technology combined with the scientific value of the radio portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. And within radio astronomy, the sub-discipline of radio interferometry has enjoyed spectacular growth as our ability to construct low-noise receivers, highly accurate antennas, and phase-stable links has improved. The VLA owes much to those pioneers who developed these techniques. But a science unwilling or unable to use new technology is one which is doomed to stagnation. And fortunately, radio technology is far from stagnant. Better receivers, better antennas, better links, better techniques, and better computing are being developed constantly, allowing radio interferometry to continue to expand to higher (and lower) frequencies, larger arrays, more antennas, larger and better correlators. The list goes on and on. Around the world, scientists and engineers are improving the tools and techniques of our trade. The VLA may still be the dominant single instrument, but other designs, incorporating the improvements listed above are under construction, or under consideration. And not only are new instruments being considered, but older ones, including the VLA, are being continuously improved. IAU Colloquia are intended for specialists to exchange information in rapidly developing fields related to astronomy. The science and techniques of radio interferometry is such a field, and the tenth anniversary of the dedication of the VLA a suitable time to gather and discuss the present and future of radio interferometry. IAU Colloquium No. 131 was held at Socorro from 8 October to 12 October 1990. The meeting was sponsored by the IAU Commission 40, the International Union of Radio Science, the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, and the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. More than 220 astronomers from 17 countries attended the meeting, reflecting the strong interest worldwide in radio interferometry. Travel support was provided by the IAU and by NRAO. The Scientific Organizing Committee consisted of J.E. Baldwin, T.J. Cornwell (Chairperson), D. Downes, R.D. Ekers, M. Ishiguro, M. Matveyenko, R.T. Schilizzi, G. Swarup, Wang Shouguan, W.J. Welch, J.Y. Yen. The Local Organizing Committee consisted of J.O. Burns, T.J. Cornwell, P. Crane, N. Duric, T. Hankins, R. Havlen (Chairperson), R. Perley, T. Romero. The conference was divided into sessions on the Theory of Interferometry, Hardware for Interferometry, Space-based VLBI, Computing, History of Interferometry,
THE DATIVE ALTERNATION IN GERMAN-ENGLISH INTERLANGUAGE

This study investigates the role of probabilistic grammatical constraints on the dative alternation in English as a second language (ESL). It presents the results of an experiment in which the different factors that are infl uential in fi rst language (L1) English are tested with advanced learners of English whose L1 is German. Second language (L2) learners are infl uenced by the same determinants as L1 speakers but to a lesser degree. Together with the results of previous studies, the present results suggest that, initially, the learners do not make use of probabilistic constraints in spite of the constraints being infl uential in the L1 and only gradually acquire a sensitivity toward the constraints that govern the choice between the two dative constructions.
Ratlarda Deneysel Siklofosfamid Toksikasyonunda Silimarin ve Curcuminin Koruyucu ve Antigenotoksik Etkileri

The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effects of silymarin (SLY) and curcumin (CUR), which have strong antioxidant properties, against the toxic effects of high dose of cyclophosphamide (CP) on the liver and kidneys of rats. For this purpose, a total of 36 adult Wistar albino female rats at the weight of, 250±10 g were used. Biochemical parameters were found to be significantly higher in the CP-only group than in the other groups. In the groups in which SLY and CUR were administered concurrently with CP, biochemical parameters were found to be significantly lower than in the CP-only group. In the SLY+CP and CUR+CP groups, biochemical parameters were correlated with the severity of histopathological findings. In genotoxic examination, the comet parameter levels in the SLY+CP and CUR+CP-treated groups were lower than those in the CP-treated group. The present study established that both SLY and CUR are effective against the toxic effects of high doses of CP.
Glacier balance trends in the Kongsfjorden area, western Spitsbergen, Svalbard, in relation to the climate

For the last thirty years, the mean net balance of two glaciers, Austre Broggerbreen and Midre Lovenbreen, has been -0.43 and -0.34 m of water equivalent (w.e.). respectively. The mean net balance of Kongsvegen, a tidewater glacier that has been measured since 1987, is 0.11 m w.e. The negative balances of the two first glaciers are driven by the increase in atmospheric temperature which occurred at the end of the Little Ice Age at the beginning of the century. The positive balance of Kongsvegen is due to its higher elevation and larger accumulation area. There is no significant trend in the net balances and no increase of the melting has been detected during the last thirty years. A correlation coefficient of R = 0.83 has been obtained between the net balance of Lovenbreen and the winter precipitation, together with the summer temperature recorded at the neighbouring station of Ny-Alesund since 1969. With 14 years of data, the correlation coefficient between the net balance and climatic parameters does not increase consistently by introducing any radiation component, but the coefficient correlation between the summer balance of Austre Broggerbreen and summer temperature increases from 0.68 to 0.77 when introducing global and long-wave radiation for July and August. Weather conditions and the frequency of their changes influence the balance between global and long-wave radiation and changes in albedo values.
Redescription of two ghost shrimps (Decapoda: Axiidea: Callianassidae) from the Middle Miocene of the Central Paratethys: systematics, intraspecific variation, and in situ preservation

A redescription of two Middle Miocene burrowing ghost shrimps of the Central Paratethys, Callianassa brocchii Lőrenthey, 1897 and Callianassa pseudorakosensis Lőrenthey in Lőrenthey & Beurlen, 1929, is provided. Material form-ing the basis of this study comes from the Studienka Formation (lower 'Sarmatian', Serravallian) of the Slovak part of theVienna Basin and exhibits preservation allowing reassignment of the studied taxa to the genera Neocallichirus Sakai, 1988and Eucalliax Manning & Felder, 1991 respectively. The major cheliped of both species exhibits two distinct morphotypesinterpreted herein as possible sexual dimorpism. Several specimens of both taxa are preserved within the tube structuresand are interpreted as in situ preservation within the burrows. Type material of both studied taxa and additional collections from the roughly coeval strata of Hungary and Austria were also studied.
Early identification of the fledgling psychopath : Locating the psychopathic child in the current nomenclature

This research attempted to test D. R. Lynam's (1996) hypothesis regarding the developmental relation between adult psychopathy and children with symptoms of hyperactivity, impulsivity, and attention problems (HIA) and concurrent conduct problems (CP). In a large sample of adolescent boys, 4 groups (non-HIA-CP, HIA only, CP only, and HIA-CP) were compared on measures found to discriminate between psychopathic and nonpsychopathic offenders. In line with predictions, the HIA-CP boys most closely resembled psychopathic adults. HIA-CP boys scored higher than HIA-only and non-HIA-CP boys on a measure of psychopathic personality. As with their adult counterparts, HIA-CP boys were the most antisocial, were the most disinhibited, and tended to be the most neuropsychologically impaired of all the groups. Implications for treatment, research, and the study of comorbidity are discussed.
Characteristics of Dry Matter Accumulation and Translocation in Rice Cultivars with High Yield and High Nitrogen Use Efficiency

The difference of dry matter production and translocation characteristics in low-yielding and low N-efficiency, high-yielding and medium N-efficiency, high-yielding and high N-efficiency rice cultivars was investigated using six representative japonica varieties under their optimum N supply levels, respectively. The results indicated that: with the increase of rice productivity, the total dry matter production amount significantly increased by 20.29% on average, and the dry matter accumulation amount and population growth rate increased on average by 15.05%, 27.04%, 24.75% and 15.05%, 28.38%, 23.00%, during the period before N-n (critical stage of productive tillering), from jointing to heading, and from heading to maturing, respectively, and decreased during the period from N-n to the jointing. Among the high-yielding varieties, with the nitrogen use efficiency increased, the tiller number per unit area at each growth stage showed a downward trend, and significantly reduced on average by 5.76%, 11.61%, 7.01%, and 5.70% at N-n, jointing, heading and maturing, respectively, but ratio of productive tillers to total tillers significantly increased. At each growth stage, the dry matter accumulation amount showed a declined tendency, and reduced on average by 12.18%, 10.54%, 8.29%, and 5.01% at N-n, jointing, heading and maturity, respectively, but harvest indexsignificantly increased. During the period from heading to maturing, dry matter accumulation rate increased on average by 5.40%, the population growth rate increased on average by 5.19%. The results above showed that proper control for population growth before heading, maintaining a high growth rate after heading and a higher harvest index were the important dry matter accumulation characteristics of the cultivars with high-yielding and high nitrogen use efficiency.
Effect of foliar application of water soluble fertilizers on quality and economics of cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub) grown under south Gujarat condition

A field experiment with object to study the effect of nutrient management on growth, yield, quality and economics of cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub) grown under south Gujarat condition was conducted at ‘B’ Block, College farm, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari during summer season, 2018. Among the seven treatments, foliar spray of cow urine (1%) at 45, 75 and 105 DAS (T4) found to be significant with respect to protein content of cluster bean with a tune figure of 14.31%. The fibre content did not differed significantly due to foliar application of organic and inorganic water soluble fertilizers. However, the maximum gross realization of 207625 ₹ ha-1, net realization of 159653.73 ₹ ha-1 with benefit cost ratio of 3.33 were secured under foliar application of 19-19-19 @ 1% 45, 75 and 105 DAS (T1).
Disruption and basic phenotypic analysis of six novel genes from the left arm of chromosome XIV of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Six open reading frames (ORFs) of unknown function from the right arm of Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome XII were deleted in two genetic backgrounds by disruption cassettes with regions of short flanking homology. This work was carried out within the framework of the EUROFAN consortium. The SFH disruption cassettes, obtained by PCR, were made by amplification of the kanMX marker module with oligonucleotides containing approximately 40 bp of homology to either the promoter or translation terminator regions of the relevant ORF. Transformants resistant to geneticin (G418) were selected. The SFH disruption cassettes were cloned into a bacterial vector. Each cognate gene was also cloned into a yeast centromeric plasmid. Sporulation and tetrad analysis of the disrupted heterozygous strains revealed that ORF YLR153c (now known as ACS2) is essential. Basic phenotypic analysis was performed on haploid deletants of both mating types of the five non-essential ORFs, YLR082c (now known as SRL2), YLR149c, YLR151c, YLR152c and YLR154c. Plate growth tests on different media at 15 degrees C, 30 degrees C and 37 degrees C did not reveal any significant differences between parental and mutant cells. Mating and sporulation efficiencies were not affected in any of the viable disruptants as compared to wild-type cells.
The Animal-AI Testbed and Competition

Modern machine learning systems are still lacking in the kind of general intelligence and common sense reasoning found, not only in humans, but across the animal kingdom. Many animals are capable of solving seemingly simple tasks such as inferring object location through object persistence and spatial elimination, and navigating eﬃciently in out-of-distribution novel environments. Such tasks are diﬃcult for AI, but provide a natu-ral stepping stone towards the goal of more complex human-like general intelligence. The extensive literature on animal cognition provides methodology and experimental paradigms for testing such abilities but, so far, these experiments have not been translated en masse into an AI-friendly setting. We present a new testbed, Animal-AI , ﬁrst released as part of the Animal-AI Olympics competition at NeurIPS 2019, which is a comprehensive environment and testing paradigm for tasks inspired by animal cognition. In this paper we outline the environment, the testbed, the results of the competition, and discuss the open challenges for building and testing artiﬁcial agents capable of the kind of nonverbal common sense reasoning found in many non-human animals.
Writes of Passage : Reading Travel Writing

Writes of Passage explores the interplay between a system of "othering" which travelers bring to a place, and the "real" geographical difference they discover upon arrival. Exposing the tensions between the imaginary and real, Duncan and Gregory and a team of leading internationa contributors focus primarily upon travelers from the 18th and 19th Centuries to pin down the imaginary within the context of imperial power. The contributors focus on travel to three main regions: Africa, South Asia, and Europe - wit the European examples being drawn from Britain, France and Greece.
Use of Ultrasound for Diagnosis of Clavicle Fractures in the Emergency Department

Background: Plain radiography is the method for diagnosing the fracture of the clavicle. The use of US to diagnose clavicle fracture has several advantages when compared to radiography. It could prevent the patient from radiation exposure, especially in vulnerable populations. It may also expedite the diagnosis and decrease the length of stay in the ED. In this study we aimed to discuss the diagnostic success of ultrasonography versus x-ray. Materials and Method: All patients admitted to the emergency department with a shoulder trauma were investigated for their eligibility to be included in the study. A standardized ultrasonography performed by the same investigator to vizualise clavicle from sternal junction through acromial junction. After ultrasonography, plain radiography was performed. Results: The mean age was 45.53 (min = 18; max = 86; SD = 18.791) years and 72.7% were male. Among all patients, 42 clavicula fractures were detected via graphy and 26 (62%) were seen in males and 57 patients with no clavicle fractures. The sensitivity of US to radiographically detected fracture was 92.86% (95%CI, 80.52% to 98.5%), and the specificity was 98.25% (95%CI = 90.61% to 99.96%). The PPV was 97.5% (84.8% to 99.63%) and the NPV was 94.92% (95% CI = 86.23% to 98.23%). Conclusions: Ultrasonography is a good alternative for diagnosing clavicle fracture. Future studies should examine the use of ultrasonography as a method for diagnosing of clavicle fracture by emergency physicians with only basic ultrasonographic training.

Impact of integrated nutrient management on post-harvest and corm characters of gladiolus cv. Novalux

The present investigation entitled “Impact of integrated nutrient management on post harvest and corm characters of gladiolus cv. Novalux” was carried out at Model Floriculture Centre, Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, during 2010–11 and 2011–12. The experiment was conducted in simple Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications and twenty five treatments consisting of, biofertilizers (Azotobacter, PSB and KSB), different levels of inorganic fertilizers, and their combinations. Application of 3/4th N, P and K+ Azotobacter + PSB + KSB (T24) was found most effective in weight of corm/plant, size of corm, water uptake, available N and K content in soil. Maximum number of florets opened per spike, available P content in soil were recorded with application of 1/2 N, P and K + Azotobacter + PSB + KSB (T25). However, maximum fresh and dry weight of spike was found with application of 3/4th N, P and K + Azotobacter + KSB (T18). Treatment 3/4th N, P and K+ PSB + KSB (T21) resulted in maximum vase life. Whereas, 3/4th N, P and K + Azotobacter + PSB (T15) resulted in to maximum number of corms and cormels/plant.
Linkage map of restriction fragment length polymorphism loci in rice.

We have constructed a genetic map of the nuclear genome in rice (Oryza sativa L.), utilizing 322 restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) DNA markers and nine morphologlcal and biochemical genetlc markers. The RFLP map is based on the segregation of 144 F2 plants from a cross between Indica and Japonica varieties. The map covers a total of 1, 836 cM with 347 loci and exceeds the data recorded in the classical genetic map of rice by 58.5% and the current RFLP map (McCOUCH et al. 1988) by 32.2%. The RFLP linkage groups were assigned to the twelve chromosomes of rice using trisomic mutants andseveral genetic markers. This map should provide the basis for the mapping of genes controlling agronomic traits of rice.
Egg size and laying date of long-billed curlews Numenius americanus: implications for female reproductive tactics

Annual differences in reproductive effort by female long-billed curlews (Numenius americanus) were clearly associated with changes in environmental conditions. During pre-laying in 1977 and 1978, long-billed curlews foraged almost exclusively on their breeding territories where vegetation height was generally short. Females did little flying prior to laying, and heavier females with relatively greater wing-disc loading laid larger egg and clutch volumes earlier in the season than did lighter females with lesser wing-disc loading. Tall, dense residual vegetation covered most upland breeding territories during pre-laying in 1979; and until grazing livestock broke down or removed this standing-dead vegetation, long-billed curlews regularly flew to undefended foraging sites on agricultural lands within 10 km of their territories. Nesting began significantly later in 1979 for all females, and lighter females not only laid earlier in the season, but they also laid larger eggs than heavier females. Path analyses indicated that body mass alone was a poor predictor of egg volume each year. Moreover, reduced egg volume was predicted by both high wing-disc loading and early laying only in 1979, suggesting that flight costs early in this season interfered with the ability of females to produce larger eggs. Reduced egg and clutch volumes by heavier females may have been a consequence of differential flight costs if these females were unable to accumulate sufficient reserves for larger eggs. More likely though, this reduced reproductive effort was a time saving and hence adaptive response to late nesting; further delay to produce larger eggs might have risked chick survival later in the season when conditions tend to deteriorate.
