A analise estatistica constou de analise de variância e as medias de tratamentos foram comparadas pelo teste de Tukey a 5 % de significância. Tambem foi realizada a analise de regressao linear entre os dados de produtividade de graos e rendimento de oleo para verificar a correlacao entre essas variaveis. Nenhum nutriente isolado ou em associacao promoveu diferenca significativa para a produtividade de graos. Para o rendimento de oleo, o arranjo composto por NPK promoveu diferenca significativa dos demais tratamentos, a excecao dos tratamentos NK e P. O rendimento de oleo esta mais associado a qualidade do que na quantidade dos graos da cultura do crambe.
THE EFFECTS OF ABSCISIC ACID ON GRAPE BERRY RIPENING ARE AFFECTED BY THE TIMING OF TREATMENT

*Corresponding author: marzia.giribaldi@ispa.cnr. it Aims: Grape berry is a model non-climacteric fruit, and many researchers have focused their investigations on its onset of ripening, termed veraison. This process, lasting several days, is composed by many changes, including berry softening, colouring, and sweetening. It is not synchronous for different vines, neither for different clusters on a vine, nor for different berries in a cluster. An important issue for investigations on veraison is : when does exactly this process begin? Which is the main triggering signal? In our work we tried to elucidate how abscisic acid (ABA) treatments affect the shift between green and ripe berries on Cabernet-Sauvignon, through the treatment with ABA and with inhibitors of ABA biosynthesis (fluridone) and degradation (Tetcyclacis), and how the effects of ABA changes are dependent on berry developmental stage.
Antecedents and consequences of trust within organizations

The purpose of this dissertation was to empirically investigate the antecedents and consequences of trust within organizations. Specifically, trustworthiness and perceived organizational support were examined as antecedents of trust, and organizational commitment, voice behavior, and withdrawal cognitions were examined as direct or indirect consequences of trust. The peripheral trait of proactive personality was also examined with regard to its direct relationship with voice, as well as the extent to which it moderates the relationship between trust and voice behavior. The sample frame consisted of employees and supervisors from a firearms distributor located in the southern United States. A self-report questionnaire was distributed to employees and a second survey instrument was distributed to supervisors to evaluate their employees. This second source of information would help alleviate common method variance. A total of 105 matched supervisor and employee evaluations were received, providing a response rate of 82 percent. Results indicate both perceived organizational support and trustworthiness are positively related to trust. Based upon a usefulness analysis, trustworthiness accounted for a greater amount of incremental variance in trust than perceived organizational support. The hypotheses regarding statistically significant relationships between trust and voice and proactive personality and voice were not supported. Organizational commitment was not found to have a mediating effect on the trust and voice
EFFECTS OF NaCl SALINITY ON SOME PHYSIOLOGICAL CHARACTERS OF WHEAT (TRITICUM AESTIVUM L.)

Two wheat varieties, Aghrani and Kanchan were grown in pots and subjected to 50, 100 and 150 mM NaCl till their maturity. Water relations, chlorophyll content and mineral ions accumulation in wheat plants were analyzed. Water retention capacity and relative water content were decreased while water uptake capacity and water saturation deficit were increased with the increasing levels of salinity. Salinity increased diffusive resistance but decreased transpiration rate. Chlorophyll content was decreased due to salinity in both Aghrani and Kanchan. Accumulation of Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ and Na + increased while that of K + decreased in the salt treated plants. In general, Aghrani accumulated greater amount of Mg, Ca and Na ions than that of Kanchan. It is appeared thal Aghrani possesses a better mechanism of salt tolerance than that of Kanchan.
The Physics and Chemistry of Personality

Physics and chemistry, two basic natural sciences, are today seamlessly integrated, but for much of their history they were separate enterprises with distinct methods and goals. Physicists have consistently sought simplicity and mathematical rigor, whereas chemists seem to have been fascinated by the challenges of complexity. Parallels between these two sciences and the two major branches of contemporary personality psychology are described in an attempt to put in perspective the daunting enterprise of constructing a unified science of human nature.

Overview about GIS multi-criteria spatial analysis for micro hydropower plant site suitability in South Ogan Komering Ulu District, South Sumatera, Indonesia

Morphology in South OKU District is the potential of a micro hydropower plant (MHPP) as an alternative power source. This potential has not been fully utilized, although many un-electrified villages are in several remote areas. Identification planning for MHPP is one of the most critical planning tasks and requires excellent multi-criteria spatial analysis. GIS and multi-criteria analysis have played an essential role in analyzing suitable locations for MHPP development. GIS and multi-criteria spatial analysis consist of detailed investigations of ongoing sites and suitability for specific planning. This research aims to overview GIS multi-criteria spatial analysis for MHPP site suitability based on electricity South OKU demands. The most critical data and criteria to decide the best site suitability are un-electrified villages, rivers, land use, slope, landslide vulnerability, and elevation. All of the data were generated into the raster data format. Quantitative modeling used AHP as a multi-criteria analysis method, and a weighted score is determined by considering the comparison of each criterion. Finally, the criterion layer was calculated by open-source QGIS to create a site suitability map. The field study verified the resulting map, and there is a match between the preferred locations and the field survey. The research results preferred Sungai Are, Sindang Danau, and Kisam Tinggi Sub-district as the best suitability for MHPP development.
THE OXYGEN TRANSPORT SYSTEM IN TROUT (SALMO GAIRDNERI) DURING SUSTAINED EXERCISE

1. The capabilities of the oxygen transport system of rainbow trout in supplying the increased oxygen demands in exercise, in a water tunnel at 9–10.5 °C, have been investigated by increasing the velocity of water flow, with a 1 h period between increments, up to the maximum swimming speed (critical velocity, U crit ). 2. At U crit , N O2 was elevated above the resting level by 7.5 times. The logarithm of N O O2 was linearly related to the swimming speed expressed as a proportion of U crit . V g increased in almost direct proportion to the increase in N O O2 . 3. Heart rate rose slightly at half U crit and reached a maximum, 1.6 times the resting rate, as U crit was approached. Ventral and dorsal aortic mean blood pressures rose by 60% and 20% respectively at U crit while their pulse pressures doubled. Central venous pressure was virtually unchanged. 4. P a, O a, O2 fell slightly during exercise but C a, O a, O2 was unaffected. On the other hand P v, O v, O2 halved and C v, O v, O2 fell from 3.17 (S.E. = 0.3) to 0.6(S.E. = 0.7) mmol/1. Cardiac output increased by about 3 times resting values. 5. The results are discussed and an attempt is made to estimate the maximum capabilities of the components of the oxygen transport system in sustained exercise.
Character association analysis for yield and its component traits in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)

Twenty-one groundnut genotypes with two checks viz., LGN-1 and JL-24 were evaluated for character association analysis in randomized block design with 3 replications under rainfed condition at Oilseeds Research Station, Latur (E1), Oilseeds Research Sub-Station, Ambajogai (E2) and Agricultural Research Station, Badnapur (E3) kharif, 2018-19. The character association studies revealed that the improvement in pod yield in groundnut is achieved through improvement in yield components. The component characters like number of mature pods per plant, kernel yield per plant, 100 kernel weight and sound mature kernel exhibited positive and significant association with pod yield.
13C high-resolution solid-state NMR study of peat carbonization

Peat char samples produced by heat treatments under an inert atmosphere of nitrogen were characterized through 13C solid-state NMR, allowing the achievement of a detailed picture of the mechanism of carbonization. The treatments were realized at temperatures between 200 and 1000 °C, with a controlled heating rate and residence time. NMR spectra were obtained in a home-built spectrometer operating at a field of 2.0 T with the use of high-resolution techniques. The results showed the steps followed during the carbonization process. Initially we observed a degradation of the natural material, with preferential loss of carbohydrates and carboxylic groups. From a heat-treatment temperature of about 500 °C upward, the spectra were nearly constituted of only one resonance line with a chemical shift of about 130 ppm (from TMS), typical of aromatic structures. For the most severely treated samples, a decrease in the chemical shift of the resonance line was observed, indicating a deshielding associated with the inc.
Deposition of fine particles in children spontaneously breathing at rest

Recent epidemiological studies suggest that children may be more susceptible than adults to effects of inhaled particulate matter. To determine if children receive an increased lung dose of particles compared to adults we measured fractional deposition (DF) of fine particles in children, age 7-14 yr (n = 16), adolescents, age 14-18 yr (n = 11), and adults, age 19-35 yr (n = 12). Each subject inhaled 2-mum monodisperse Carnauba wax particles while following a breathing pattern previously determined by respiratory inductance plethysmography for that subject (i.e., that subject's spontaneous pattern at rest). Breath-by-breath DF (ratio of particles not exhaled/total particles inhaled) was determined by photometry at the mouth. Among the children there was no variation in DF with subject age or height, but DF was dependent on intersubject variation in tidal volume (Vt) (p < .001). DF for the children versus the adolescents was 0.22 +/- 0.08(sd) and 0.20 +/- 0.03, respectively (NS), also not different from .
Effects of Aronia melanocarpa polyphenols on oxidative metabolism and apoptosis of neutrophils from obese and non-obese individuals

Reactive oxygen species are postulated to be involved in systemic inflamma- tion and oxidative stress in patients with obesity. Activated polymorphonuclear neutro- phils (PMNs) generate extremely high amounts of reactive oxygen species, but these are normally targeted at pathogens inside intracellular phagosomes. The same beneficial an- timicrobial functions, if not controlled, contribute to the tissue damaging effects of in- flammatory reactions. The evidence from conventional epidemiology strongly implies fruits and vegetables in protection against oxidative stress. In our study, the in vitro ef- fects of Aronia melanocarpa juice on oxidative metabolism and apoptosis of neutrophils from obese and non-obese individuals has been investigated. We tested 15 obese patients (aged 45 ±9 years, women, BMI = 34 ±4.9 kg/m 2 ). Nine healthy subjects (BMI = 22.2 ±1.6 kg/m 2 ) were enrolled as controls. Neutrophils were isolated and oxidant production, in response to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, was characterized by using luminol de- pendent chemiluminescence (CL) and flow cytometric dichlorofluorescin oxidation assay. Caspase-3 activity, a marker of apoptosis execution, in human neutrophils , measured by a cleavage of the fluorogenic substrate Ac-DEVD-AMC. Additional experiments to assess the direct toxic effect of the aronia polyphenols were also carried out. Neutrophils from obese individuals had a significantly higher H 2O2 production and CL response compared to controls (p < 0.05). The oxidative metabolism of PMNs was decreased by aronia juice treatment in both of groups, obese and non-obese individuals. The caspase-3 activity de- pended on the time of aronia juice treatment and was markedly increased in phorbol- treated cells incubated with polyphenols for 24 hours. This natural product exert benefi- cial effects in cells and may, therefore, be useful in the treatment of obesity disorders.
Effects of temperature and composition on the bulk modulus of (Mg,Fe)O

Abstract Isothermal static compression data for MgO at 300 and 1100 K were obtained by combining synchrotron X-ray diffraction techniques with an externally heated high-temperature diamond-anvil cell that is capable of achieving pressures greater than 125 GPa at temperatures up to 1100 K. The experiments at 300 K were conducted under both hydrostatic and nonhydrostatic conditions. The deviatoric stress in non-hydrostatic environment significantly effects the measured lattice parameters. Fits to the static compression data of MgO at 300 K yield a bulk modulus of 185(7) GPa and 160(2) GPa under nonhydrostatic and hydrostatic conditions, respectively. The deviatoric stress decreases with increasing temperature, and a nearly hydrostatic condition was achieved at temperatures above 900 K when NaCl was used as a pressure-medium. The bulk modulus of MgO was determined to be 135(3) GPa at a temperature of 1100 K, yielding its temperature derivative of 20.030(3) GPa/K. Comparing these results with previous studies in the system MgO-FeO, shows that the bulk modulus of (Mg,Fe)O decreases with increasing FeO content, from 160 GPa for MgO to 146 GPa for FeO.
LTA/Poly(1‐trimethylsilyl‐1‐propyne) Mixed‐Matrix Membranes for High‐Temperature CO2/N2 Separation

Mixed-matrix membranes (MMM) consisting of poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne) (PTMSP) as continuous matrix and small-pore LTA-framework zeolites with Si/Al ratios from 1 (commercial zeolite A) to ∞ (ITQ-29) as dispersed phase were prepared by solution casting. The thermal stability of the MMM is as high as that of glassy PTMSP polymer, whose high permeability is maintained even at increasing temperature. The effect of the Si/Al ratio in the zeolite fillers on the membrane performance is observed by the increasing CO2/N2 permselectivity of low-Si/Al ratio zeolite A-based membranes, in comparison with pure silica ITQ-29. The performance of the LTA-type zeolite-PTMSP MMM was adjusted to the modified Maxwell model by estimating the chain immobilization factor and the interphase thickness as a function of temperature, Si/Al ratio, and zeolite loading.
ASSESSMENT SOME FEEDING PACKAGES ON FARM REVENUE OF FATTENING FRIESIAN CALVES IN THE DELTA REGION OF EGYPT

Two methods were used to assess six rations Linear Program Model (LPM) and actual feeding trials (validation). The six rations tested by LPM represented as six scenarios; three winter scenarios WS1 (control) (Egyptian clover + concentrate mixture + rice straw), scenario 2 (WS2) where ration had two constrains using corn silage and Egyptian clover at the rate of 6 kg and 10 kg daily, respectively, plus concentrate mixture and rice straw ad-libitum. Scenario 3 (WS3) was the same as WS2 but constrain was to double corn silage quantity. The three summer scenarios were: Scenario 4 (SS4 control) (Egyptian clover hay + concentrate mixture + rice straw), Scenario 5 (SS5) had two constrains use Egyptian clover silage and corn silage at the rate of 5 kg daily plus concentrate mixture and ad-libitum rice straw. Scenario 6 (SS6) was as the same as SS5 with the only constrain to replace the corn silage by 5 kg sugar beet tops silage. All rations had to cover the feed requirements of 1 kg daily gain according NRC. Extra revenues realized for winter were L.E. 2.50 and 3.10 for WS2 and WS3 compared to WS1. Summer results showed increase in farm revenue of L.E. 1.44 and 0.78, for SS5 and SS6 compared to SS4. The previous winter or summer six scenarios that evaluated by LPM were reevaluated by real feeding trials on Friesian fattening calves as six rations with the same feeding packages. All rations had to cover the feed requirements of 1 kg daily gain according NRC. Extra revenues realized for winter rations were L.E. 2.33 and 1.37/head/day for two winter groups (WG2) and WG3 compared to WG1 respectively. The summer rations showed increase in farm revenue of L.E. 2.16 and 2.26/head/day for SG5 and SG5 compared to SG4 respectively. It could be concluded that using feeding packages in animal feeding can reduce feeding costs and improve the fattening farm revenue. up to 75% and decreasing the concentrate mixture in the rations. Savings in feeding cost can be attributed to the use of corn silage in rations SW2 and SW3. The results also show that the more corn silage was applied, the more saving in feeding costs was realized. (Swift 2003) found that corn silage provides a palatable and digestible source of energy.
Heat and Mass Transfer Over a Vertical Plate with Periodic Suction and Heat Sink

The aim of this study is to determine heat and mass transfer over a vertical plate in the presence of periodic suction and heat sink. The dimensionless governing equations are solved using perturbation technique. The velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are studied for different physical parameters like Suction parameter s, Heat sink F, thermal Grashof number Gr, mass Grashof number Gc, chemical reaction parameter K, Prandtl number Pr and Schmidt number Sc. It is observed that the velocity increases with increase in F and s. It is also observed that temperature increases with increasing F, Pr but s decreases with rise in temperature. While concentration increases with increasing Sc and K. the aim of the study is to determine the rate of heat and mass transfer of the system.

Hollow ZSM‐5 with Silicon‐Rich Surface, Double Shells, and Functionalized Interior with Metallic Nanoparticles and Carbon Nanotubes

Hollow ZSM‐5 single crystals with silicon‐rich exterior surface are prepared by a “dissolution–recrystallization” strategy in tetrapropylammonium hydroxide solution. Selective dissolution and exterior recrystallization cause the silicon components to migrate from the inside to outside, resulting in a regular void in the interior of the crystal, increased Brönsted acid sites and a silicon‐rich external surface. The as‐prepared hollow ZSM‐5 exhibits excellent acid catalysis with enhanced shape selectivity, as shown in biphenyl methylation as a probe reaction, which is attributed to the silicon‐rich external surface and thus the inhibition of isomerization on external surface. More interestingly, hollow ZSM‐5 single crystals with double shells are successfully prepared by layer‐by‐layer technique followed with dissolution–recrystallization strategy. Furthermore, hollow ZSM‐5 encapsulating iron and carbon nanotubes are successfully synthesized. Furthermore, hollow ZSM‐5 nanosized crystals with the interior functionalized as bimetallic (oxide) nanoparticles such as CuO‐Pd are also successfully synthesized.
