Weather pattern dynamics over western Europe under climate change: predictability, information entropy and production

Abstract. The impact of climate change on weather pattern dynamics over the North Atlantic is explored through the lens of the information theory of forced dissipative dynamical systems. The predictability problem is first tackled by investigating the evolution of block entropies on observational time series of weather patterns produced by the Met Office, which reveals that predictability is increasing as a function of time in the observations during the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century, while the trend is reversed at the end of the 20th century and beginning of the 21st century. This feature is also investigated in the 15-member ensemble of the UK Met Office CMIP5 model for the 20th and 21st centuries under two climate change scenarios, revealing a wide range of possible evolutions depending on the realization considered, with an overall decrease in predictability in the 21st century for both scenarios. Lower bounds of the information entropy production are also extracted, providing information on the degree of time asymmetry and irreversibility of the dynamics. The analysis of the UK Met Office model runs suggests that the information entropy production will increase by the end of the 21st century, by a factor of 10 % in the Representative Carbon Pathway RCP2.6 scenario and a factor of 30 %–40 % in the RCP8.5 one, as compared to the beginning of the 20th century. This allows one to make the conjecture that the degree of irreversibility is increasing, and hence heat production and dissipation will also increase under climate change, corroborating earlier findings based on the analysis of the thermodynamic entropy production.

Looking Through the Lens of Rural Science Teachers in the New Normal Setting

Teaching science in distance learning has severely challenged the educators in maintaining a quality learning experience during the pandemic. This also opened to new experiences for science teachers to facilitate learning in a new normal setting, especially in rural schools. This qualitative phenomenological study aimed to describe the lived experiences of rural science teachers during the new normal learning. Ethical standards on trustworthiness and rigor were followed. Five (5) participants were purposively chosen through criterion sampling with the following criteria: 1) should be a junior/senior high school rural teacher 30-55 years old. 2) Should be teaching science in the school year 2020-2021. 3) Should be willing to express and share their experiences. Data were collected from unstructured interviews. Narratives were transcribed word for word and reflectively analyzed using Braun and Clarke's (2006) thematic analysis. Analyzed data revealed four (4) dominant themes: (1): 4A's of New Normal: Accept, Arrange, Adjust, and Adapt. (2) Dare to Teach: Agents of Learning, Frontliners of Teaching. (3) Facing New Variants of Students. (4) A Dose of Hope: Educators' Response to Learning Emergency. The findings of the study contributed to a deeper understanding of the experiences of rural science teachers as they facilitate learning amidst the pandemic. Implications were derived based on the findings. It is challenging for science teachers to grasp students' attention in learning through a modality away from the instructors. Meaningful learning in science has been facilitated using the teachers' interventions through localized experiments, modified activities, and demystified lessons.

Dietary Assessment among School-Aged Children in Greece

- Healthy Eating Index developed to assess whether a person's diet is adjusted to the recommended healthy diet guidelines, and as a valid indicator it has been used for the assessment of food consumption. This research aims to evaluate the quality of food consumption to Greek students aged 10-14. The sample consisted of 431 students (204 boys and 227 girls) aged 10-14 years, which were chosen randomly and were not involved in any form of diet and 24 hours food questionnaire was used to recall from memory in the classroom. For the statistical analysis, it was used Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA). Results revealed that there was significant difference in age Wilks' L=0,74 F(11,411)=2,63 p<0,00. There were statistically significant differences because of age for the variable grain consumption F(4,421)=4,74 p<0,05, the variable consumption of meat F(4,277)=3,69 p <0,05, the consumption of milk F(4,421)=6,71 p<0,05, the intake of saturated fat F(4,421)=3,28 p<0,05. Regarding gender, there were small but statistically significant differences in sodium consumption F(4,421)=8,08 p<0,00. There were no statistically significant differences for the Healthy Eating Index by gender and the interaction of age with gender. In conclusion, many Greek young and teens consume foods that enhance the development of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Both young and teens regardless of their social and economic situation could benefit by increasing the consumption of fruit, vegetables, cereals and choosing foods with little saturated fat and reduced salt intake.
Rooting development of Sansevieria trifasciata (Mother-In-Law Tongue) as influenced by different propagation substrates

— Substrates are materials, other than soils in situ, in which plants are grown, and it is often used synonymously with rooting medium. An experiment was conducted at the Crop Type Museum of the Department of Crop, Soil, and Pest Management, the Federal University of Technology, Akure, to determine the rooting development of Sansevieria trifasciata as influenced by different propagation substrates. Results showed that the performance of the Sansevieria trifasciata planted using sand as substrate enhanced growth and root development of Sansevieria trifasciata compare to other substrates used (topsoil, sawdust, and rice hull). The treatment combination of all the substrates Topsoil + Sawdust + Rice hull + Sand performed better than other treatment combinations and sole. This study provided the empirical evidence that substrate combination influenced root development of Sanseveria spp.
The Suitability of Groundwater for Domestic and Irrigation Purposes: A Case Study of Ikere-Ekiti, SW-Nigeria

— Shallow groundwater in Ikere-Ekiti was assessed for potability and irrigation employing chemical and bacterial analyses. Twenty two groundwater samples were collected and analyzed using Atomic absorption spectrometer for cations and ion chromatographic method for anions determinations (˚C), pH and electrical conductivity (EC) (µS/cm) were measured in the field using pH Testr meter. The bacteriological analysis was carried out using nutrient agar medium to obtain plate count of living bacteria. Results of the analysis revealed that all EC values were less than 1000µS/cm indicating fresh water. The pH with average values of 9.48, 7.82 and 7.44 in migmatite, granite and charnockitic terrains respectively exceeded the approved standard (6.5 – 8.5) for drinking water in two samples from migmatite, one sample from granitic terrain and none from the charnockites. Sodium was the dominant cation with average concentrations (mg/L) of 95.65, 38.33 and 6.61 in migmatite, granite and charnockite respectively while K + ions in the same order of rock units have average concentrations (mg/L) of 60.49, 32.33 and 15.77. The average concentrations (mg/L) of Ca 2+ ions in groundwater located on migmatite, granite and charnockitic terrains were 36.67, 24.63 and 10.98 respectively while those for Mg 2+ were 9.94, 7.48 and 4.57. The order of cation abundance was Na + > K + > Ca 2+ > Mg 2+ . In respect of the major anions, Cl - was dominant with average concentrations (mg/L) in charnockites (187.20) within approved standard of 250mg/L while the average values (mg/L) in migmatite (475.2) and granite (340.62) exceeded the standard value. Following the same sequence of rock units, HCO 3-average concentrations (mg/L) were 34.6mg/L, 27.07mg/L and 25.7. Sulphate and nitrate were less dominant ions and the order of anions abundance in the groundwater was Cl - > HCO 3- > SO 42- > NO 3- . Bacteria evaluation revealed that all sampled groundwater tested positive to bacteria with TBC values (CFU/100ml) ranging from 1.76X10 8 to 1.78X10 9 in migmatite, 5.3x10 5 to 8.9x10 8 in granite and 2.55x10 7 to 8.2x10 8 in charnockite. Gibb’s diagram revealed that chemical weathering of rock-forming minerals has contributed to solute source in the groundwater of the area. Water type on migmatite was mainly NaCl while granite and charnockite had NaCl and CaCl types revealing lithologic effects. the groundwater is suitable by bacteria affected the chemistry of the their
Model for Web-based Learning Module in Senior High School General Chemistry

The CoViD-19 pandemic has brought challenges in the learning continuity of school children. New normal learning amidst the current pandemic demands the use of technology and the internet. This study aimed to determine if the web-based learning modules (WLM) have significant effects on the performance of the students in Senior High School (SHS) General Chemistry 1. Before utilizing the WLM, the students got lower actual mean of 23.66 in the pretest which was 6.34 lower than the hypothetical mean. Results further revealed that the students who used WLM got an actual mean of 48.42 in the post-test which was 18.42 higher than the hypothetical mean. Moreover, the students in the WLM acquired a mean gain of 24.75 with a standard deviation of 4.21. The study found a significant mean gain between the pretest and posttest performance of the Grade 11 students in General Chemistry 1 using the WLM. The results affirmed a great improvement in the performance of the students from the pretest to the posttest. The results imply the use of WLM as a great supplemental learning tool that allows learners to go through the material at their own pace exploring the contents of the modules. Thus, the model for the module development can be used in the teaching and learning across the grade level curriculum.
Comparative Alterations in the Compositional Profile of Selected Root and Vegetable Peels Subjected to Three Pretreatments for Enhanced Saccharification

— Lignocellulosic feedstocks have gained worldwide interest as alternative biofuel source in the context of squeezing petroleum resources, enhanced environmental pollution from greenhouse gases and resulting climate change. The potential of agricultural processing residues such as root and vegetable peels (beet root, greater yam, pumpkin and vegetable banana) for bioethanol production was investigated through an understanding of their compositional profile and efficacy of three pretreatments in altering their composition and reducing biomass recalcitrance. Starch was the major polysaccharide in the residues (range: 25-37%), followed by cellulose (18-22%) and hemicellulose (15-20%). While dilute sulfuric acid (DSA; 121°C ; 0.102 MPa) hydrolyzed starch and hemicellulose to a high extent, steam pretreatment of moist residues (40 % and 50 % MC) at 100 °C also facilitated hemicellulose and starch solubilization. On the contrary, lime pretreatment retained most of the cellulose, hemicellulose and starch in the pretreated residues. Delignification was the highest (28- 37%) in steam pretreated residues, with minimal effect in DSA and lime pretreatments, necessitating lignin binding surfactants during saccharification in the latter. Reducing sugar content in pretreated liquors and Pretreatment Efficiency (%) were the highest (40-45 g L -1 and 57-64% respectively) in the DSA pretreatment. The study showed that as the pretreated liquor DSA and steam pretreatment was rich in fermentable sugars, whole slurry saccharification would be beneficial for maximizing the bioethanol yield.
Screening of sugarcane genotypes for resistance against sugarcane early shoot borer, Chilo infuscatellus Snellen

— In vivo experiment was conducted to screen fifty six genotypes for resistance to early shoot borer, Chilo infuscatellus Snellen at Zonal agricultural research station, V.C farm, Mandya during 2014-2015. The per cent incidence of ESB at different days after planting was varied among fifty six screened genotypes. The highest per cent incidence was recorded at 60 DAP (0.00 to 41.29) followed by at 30 DAP (0.00 to 20.15) and the per cent incidence at 90 DAP ranged from 0.00 to 14.24 and lowest per cent incidence was recorded at 120 DAP (0.00 to 4.40). Based on the cumulative incidence, 47 genotypes were categorized as less susceptible to C. infuscatellus. Nine genotypes were found moderately susceptible to C. infuscatellus. However, among less susceptible genotypes lowest cumulative incidence of 0.00 per cent was recorded in genotypes, 09-60-06. Whereas highest cumulative incidence of 29.86 per cent was recorded in moderately susceptible genotype,
The asymptotic Weil-Petersson form and intersection theory on M_{g,n}

Moduli spaces of hyperbolic surfaces with geodesic boundary components of fixed lengths may be endowed with a symplectic structure via the Weil-Petersson form. We show that, as the boundary lengths are sent to infinity, the Weil-Petersson form converges to a piecewise linear form first defined by Kontsevich. The proof rests on the observation that a hyperbolic surface with large boundary lengths resembles a graph after appropriately scaling the hyperbolic metric. We also include some applications to intersection theory on moduli spaces of curves.
OPTH_A_373587 2521..2530

Purpose: To evaluate the refractive and visual outcomes following cataract surgery and implantation of a new monofocal nonconstant aberration aspheric intraocular lens (IOL). Methods: Ninety eyes of 86 patients who underwent implantation the CT LUCIA 621P IOL (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG) were retrospectively analyzed in this study. Main outcome measures were refractive error and monocular corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) and monocular uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) values. Patients were evaluated at 1-month post-surgery and intraand post-operative complications were recorded. Results: Eighty percent of the eyes showed a CDVA of 20/25 or better before surgery. The postoperative mean values of monocular distance Snellen decimal UDVA and CDVA were 0.64±0.22 and 0.89±0.13, respectively. All eyes showed the same or better difference between UDVA and CDVA. In relation to the postoperative spherical equivalent, the highest percentage of eyes, 31.11%, was for the range between −0.50 and −0.14D followed by 22.22% for the ±0.13D range. Ninety percent of the eyes were within ±1.00 D and 73.33% of eyes within ±0.50 D. The mean postoperative spherical equivalent was −0.18±0.55D. 37.78% and 76.67% of the eyes showed a value ≤0.50 D and ≤1.00D, respectively, being the mean postoperative refractive cylinder −0.81±0.50D. No adverse events were reported in whole sample intra and postoperatively. Conclusion: The present study shows that cataract surgery with an monofocal non-constant aberration aspheric IOL implantation resulted in good visual performance and refractive outcomes. This lens may be considered as a valid choice for patients in a standardroutine cataract surgery practice.
Effects of Pinching Time on the Performance of three Tomato Varieties (Lycopersicon lycopersicum Mill) in Ogbomoso and Mokwa, Nigeria

— Field experiment was conducted at the in 2012 cropping season to examine the effects of pinching on fruit yield and nutritional qualities of three tomato varieties. The experiment had twelve treatments of three varieties (Ogbomoso Local, Mokwa Local and UC82B) of tomato and four pinching times (0, 2, 4 and 6) weeks after transplanting (WAT), replicated three times. The experiment was laid out as split plot arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design. Data were collected on plant height, number of flowers, number of fruits and total fruit yield. The determination of fruit phytochemical contents at full ripening, 6 fruit samples were randomly selected per plot and analysed for nutritional qualities such as crude Protein, Carotene, Iron, Phosphorus, Potassium, Calcium, Lycopene, Magnesium, Vitamin C contents. Data was analysed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) SAS package and treatment means compared using least significant difference (LSD) at 5% probability level. UC82B gave the highest fruit yield (23.10 t ha -1 ) while Mokwa Local recorded the least (12.00 t ha -1 ). Pinching improved fruit yield of tomato. Plants pinched at 4 WAT gave the highest fruit yield (19.60 t ha -1 ) and the least obtained from un-pinched plants (12.50 t ha -1 ). Nutritional qualities (Lycopene, phosphorus, potassium) was best at PT of 6 WAT. It could be concluded from this experiment that, though highest yield of tomato (19.60 t ha -1 ) occurred with pinching at 4 WAT, the best nutritional qualities were obtained when pinched at 6 WAT. Also, UC82B was better than other varieties in terms of yield performance.

— The present study was carried out on the effect of biofertilizer Azotobacter chroococcumon the growth of mulberry plantMorusindica L. and larvalweight, cocoon weight, shell weight, shell ratio and effective rate of rearing (ERR) and length of silk filament of the Bombyxmori. Based on growth of mulberry plant, larval weight and the effect of Azotobacter biofertilizer on length of silk filament was more in treated and which was found to be statistically significant at P<0.05 level than control. Cocoon weight, shell ratio, shell weight and ERR were also in an elevated trend in treatment than the control (P<0.01) one. In the present study, the use of biofertilizer A.chroococcum has reduced man power and time duration and has also reduced the usage of chemical fertilizer which could curtail the expenses of the farmers.
The Parity Rate of Indoor-Resting Adult Female Anopheles and Culex Mosquitoes and Their Implication in Disease Transmission in Nnamdi Azikiwe University Female Hostels Awka, South Eastern Nigeria

— A study on the parity rate of indoor-resting Anopheles and Culex mosquitoes and their implication in disease transmission was carried out in Nnamdi Azikiwe University female hostel between June and July 2016. The mosquitoes were sampled weekly from 24 randomly selected rooms using pyrethrum knock-down collection (P.K.C). A total of 516 mosquitoes comprising of 4 species: Anopheles gambiae, Anopheles funestus, Culex quinquefasciatus and Culex annulioris, were collected during the study period. The mosquitoes were examined for their abdominal gradings/gonotrophic stages and dissected for parity determination. Culex quinquefasciatus (61.43%) constituted the most abundant species followed by Anopheles gambiae (30.04%) and Anopheles funestus (7.56%) and the least being Culex annulioris (0.97%). Results showed that majority of the vector species were fed and parous and variations among the parity rates of the 4 species was significant (P <0.05). The high rate of the fed and parous mosquito species is of utmost concern in the hostel environment and therefore control measures aimed at eliminating the breeding sites and reducing its contact with the students should be embraced and practiced so as to minimize disease transmission among the students.
