Phenotypic Characterization of Indonesian Native Chicken with Different Combs

The study was conducted to characterize the phenotypic appearance of Indonesian native chickens with difference combs. A total forty chickens were divided onto four groups based on comb type: single, pea, rose and walnut. Qualitative data were tabulated onto head, body and tail parts, and analysed statisticaly using desciptive statistics. As a results, beak color of chicken was vary from dark yellow, light yellow, pale yelow and white. The dark yellow of beak was dominated by chicken with single comb (40%). Light yellow mostly found in chicken with rose comb and, walnut have dominantly pale yellow (50%). Only Chicken with single and pea have white beak color in a few percentage (10%). All comb types of chicken have dark eye color. Chicken with single, pea and walnut combs dominantly have red brown crown color 50%, 40% and 80%, respectively. Chickens with rose comb were most found having red crown color (50%). Similary in neck feather color was dominated by single, pea and walnut. Chickens with rose comb indicated yellow (50%) and red crown (40%) color. For chest feather color, chicken with single and walnut comb were dominanted black color (50% and 40%, respectively). The pea and rose comb of chicken mostly have white-brown (40%) and red (40%) color of chest feather. For abdomen feather color, chicken with single (50%), pea (40%) and walnut (40%) were mostly have black color, but chicken with rose comb indicated mostly red (40%). Similary in back feather color, black feather was dominated in single, pea and walnut. Both primer and seconder wing feather color were found black in all comb types. The tail feather color was vary, chicken with single comb was dominantly have black color (40%). Chicken with rose and walnut comb have black-white tail feather, 50% and 60%, respectively. Most of chicken with pea comb have black-green tail feather color. All the comb type dominantly have black thigh color. The walnut comb of chicken have light-black membrane shank color (50%). Single, pea, and rose were dominated light-yellow membrane shank color 100%, 100%, and 70%, respectively. For shank color all the comb type dominantly have yellow color. In conclusion, this study may provide an important view for designing conservation and breeding strategies to efficiently protect and utilize the existing variation phenotypics among local chicken populations.

Arthropod biodiversity in olive groves under two soil management systems: presence versus absence of herbaceous cover crop

Agricultural intensification has greatly affected biodiversity in recent decades. One common and recent transformation that has taken place in Mediterranean countries is olive grove intensification, although its effects on biodiversity have rarely been studied. In the present study, we investigated the effect of soil management practices, with versus without soil cover crops, on the arthropod abundance, richness, diversity and species composition in Andalusia olive groves, South Spain. The results obtained show that these soil cover crops positively affect the diversity of arthropods, along with other variables such as the diversity of the plant community and Shannon index of the landscape. By contrast, the number of arthropods was higher in olive groves with bare ground as a result of the abundance of two families (Entomobryidae and Aeolothripidae), which comprised more than 50% of all the individuals collected. Rank abundance diagrams and multivariate analyses showed differences between the two types of soil management systems with respect to the composition of families. In conclusion, soil cover crops strongly improve the diversity of arthropods in olive orchards, which helps to maintain biodiversity in these intensive agroecosystems at the same time as improving other ecosystems services, such as soil fertility and the prevention of soil erosion.

Effect of Sexual Harassment Experience on the Job of a Physical Therapist : Seoul Metropolitan Area

Purpose : Sexual harassment cases involving health and medical workers, including physical therapists, nurses and psychotherapists, are on the rise. Despite the increased incidence of sexual harassment, prior studies show that physical therapists, nursing assistants and caregivers are not doing well cope with sexual harassment. Therefore this study examines the factors associated with sexual harassment damage experience among physical therapists, as well as the relationship between sexual harassment damage experience and job-related aspects. It is intended to prepare basic data for programs and research that can mediate these issues. Methods : We conducted a self-reported questionnaire survey of 200 physical therapists working at medical institutions in the Seoul metropolitan area. The survey items included sexual harassment experience and job-related aspects such as satisfaction, stress, burnout, and engagement. A correlation analysis was conducted to clarify the relationship between sexual harassment experience and job-related factors, and multiple regression analysis was conducted to verify the correlations of sexual harassment experience on physical therapists’ job. Results : There was a weak correlation between sexual harassment experience, job satisfaction, and job engagement, and a moderate correlation between sexual harassment experience, job stress, and job burnout. The impact of sexual harassment experience on job had a significant correlation on job satisfaction, job stress and burnout. Conclusions : Sexual harassment damage experience among physical therapists had a significant impact on many job aspects. Thus, there is a need for countermeasures and education to prevent sexual harassment, or at least effectively cope with the consequences. It is proposed to expand to other local or national units as follow-up studies, to study other factors affecting sexual harassment damage experience, and to develop and verify programs to cope with or prevent sexual harassment damage experience.
Mobility-Aware Joint Task Scheduling and Resource Allocation for Cooperative Mobile Edge Computing

Mobile edge computing (MEC) has emerged as a new paradigm to assist low latency services by enabling computation offloading at the network edge. Nevertheless, human mobility can significantly impact the offloading decision and performance in MEC networks. In this context, we propose device-to-device (D2D) cooperation based MEC to expedite the task execution of mobile user by leveraging proximity-aware task offloading. However, user mobility in such distributed architecture results in dynamic offloading decision that instigates mobility-aware task scheduling in our proposed framework. We jointly formulate task assignment and power allocation to minimize the total task execution latency by taking account of user mobility, distributed resources, tasks properties, and energy constraint of the user device. We first propose Genetic Algorithm (GA)-based evolutionary scheme to solve our formulated mixed-integer non-linear programming (MINLP) problem. Then we propose a heuristic named mobility-aware task scheduling (MATS) to obtain effective task assignment with low complexity. The extensive evaluation under realistic human mobility trajectories provides useful insights into the performance of our schemes and demonstrates that, both GA and MATS achieve better latency than other baseline schemes while satisfying the energy constraint of mobile device.
Comparison between Experimental Measurements and Numerical Calculations of the Structure of Heptane-Air Diffusion Flames

Abstract Detailed numerical calculations are performed to determine the structure of heptane-air diffusion flames, and the results are compared with experimental measurements. The configuration used is the diffusion flame stabilized in the vicinity of a stagnation plane, which is formed by directing an oxidi2ing gas flow onto the vaporizing surface of a pool of heptane. Profiles of the concentration of various stable species and of the temperature have been measured by gas chromatography and by thermocouples. respectively. To evaluate the influence of strain on the structure or the flame, the measurements taken at a fixed composition of the oxidizer stream and at two values of the strain rate were chosen for comparison with the calculated results. The computations were performed using a chemical kinetic mechanism consisting of forty-two elementary reactions involving eighteen species. To simplify the chemical kinetic mechanism, it was assumed that heptane is attacked by radicals to form the heptyl radical.
Organisational Factors as Antecedents of University Academic Staff Research Productivity

This study explored whetherorganisational factors such as technological progress, computer skills, research funding, and human resourceswere significant antecedents of academic staff research productivity in chartered private universities in Uganda. The study stemmed from reportedly low levels of research productivity of the academic staff in private universities in the country in spite of the numerousinterventionsby the Government of Uganda to spur research in both public and private higher education institutions.Using the quantitative approach anddescriptive cross-sectional survey research design, the researchers collected data using a pre-testedself-administered questionnaire from a sample of 210 academic staff drawn from four out of nine chartered private universities in the country. The data were analysed with the use of appropriate descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The study findings showed, among others, that while technological progress (β = 0.425, p = 0.000 < 0.05) and possession of computer skills (β = 0.329, p = 0.000 < 0.05) were positive and significant antecedents of research productivity, research funding (β = -0.003, p = 0.965 < 0.05)and human resources (β = 0.073, p = 0.186 < 0.05) were respectively negative and positive but non-significant antecedents of academic staff’s research productivity in the universities studied. Therefore, it was concluded that although organisational factors, overall, were significant antecedents of university academic staff’s research productivity, some of its elements such as technological progress and possession of computer skills were more significant antecedents than others – implying that in order to boost the research productivity of the academic staff, university managers need to place proportionate emphasis on these factors if they are to create an enabling research environment in their institutions.

Integrative Metabolic Therapeutic Approach for Symptomatic Patients with Left Ventricular Dilatation and Reduced Ejection Fraction

AIM: Myocardial energetics has a central role in the pathophysiology of heart failure. Our hypothesis was that cardiac metabolic therapeutic approach must be integrative, improving both the substrate utilization and the complete substrate oxidation, i.e. supporting normal mechanism of energy production without increased generation of reactive oxygen species. Since the energy metabolism is closely linked to cardiac function, we assessed the eUU´ect of the integrative metabolic approach on the functional ability and quality of life in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction /HFrEF/. METHODS AND RESULTS :We investigated 33 patients with leN ventricular dilatation/LVIDd> 60 mm/ and reduced ejection fraction /EF <40%/ in 76 complementary supportive therapy /CST/ periods. Prior to each CST period, therapy was optimized /OMT/ for one month. CST consisted of a 10-day session. In addition to OMT, the patients were treated with carnitine, L-arginine, magnesium, vitamin B, coenzyme Q-10, vitamin E, vitamin C and selenium while lying for 30 minutes inside a pulsed electromagnetic field with intensity of up to 30 micro teslas and inhaling negatively ionized oxygen. Before and aNer each CST period, patients were asked to evaluate the quality of life using the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire /MLHFQ/ and the visual analogue scale /VAS/ and the EF,LVIDd and NYHA classes were determined. Statistical analysis was based on the t-test, Spearman’s rank correlation coeU¹cient and Wilcoxon’s signed-ranks test. Ðe longest observation period was 122 months. $Ner administering the metabolic supportive therapy, a statistically significant improvement /p<0,05/ was noticed in particular items of the MLHFQ, in emotional and physical dimensions. Ðe values of VAS and EF increased whereas the values of NYHA and LVIDd decreased significantly /p<0,001/. CONCLUSION Integrative metabolic therapeutic approach significantly improved the functional capacity and quality of life in patients with HFrEF.
Fuzzy Double Hidden Layer Recurrent Neural Terminal Sliding Mode Control of Single-Phase Active Power Filter

This article focuses on the design of a terminal sliding mode control (TSMC) using a fuzzy double hidden layer recurrent neural network (FDHLRNN) strategy for a single-phase active power filter (APF). A TSMC is proposed to make the tracking error of the system converge to zero in a finite time. An FDHLRNN is proposed and applied in harmonic suppression to approximate the equivalent control and eliminate the unknown disturbance, reducing the role of symbol switching items. The main function of the FDHLRNN is to improve control accuracy and reduce the current distortion rate of the APF. The designed FDHLRNN is the weighted sum of the fuzzy network and the double hidden layer network, having a strong global learning ability. The adaptive parameters of the FDHLRNN are derived by the Lyapunov function to ensure the asymptotic stability of the system. The compensation performance and effectiveness of the proposed TSMC using FDHLRNN strategy are verified by real-time experiments.
Feasibility Study of Recycled Plastic Waste as Fine Aggregate in Concrete

Nowadays, Environmental concern towards plastic waste rises because of its low degradability and creating problems like chunking sewer lines, drainages, waterways, filling landfills, health problems, etc. The best approach is recycling and reuses plastic waste. Increase in the production of plastic day by day but, very little was recycled. On the other hand, huge demand for concrete in the construction industry. Utilization of recycled plastic waste in the production of sustainable concrete by partial replacement of fine aggregate. This study has been investigated the utilization of two types of recycled plastic waste Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) and Polypropylene (PP) as fine aggregate in concrete. M30 grade of concrete has been used by partial replacement of fine aggregate (River Sand) with recycled plastic waste in the percentage of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25. The workability and compressive strength results are checked to find the acceptable percentage of incorporation of PET and PP in concrete. From the results, it is observed that the workability is decreased as the percentage of recycled plastic waste is increased. The Optimum Percentage of replacement of PET is 10%. PP has shown a marginal reduction in compressive strength for 5% replacement.
Investigations of Global Chemistry-Climate Interactions and Organic Aerosol Using Atmospheric Modeling

Aerosol, or particulate matter (PM), is an important component of the atmosphere responsible for negative health impacts, environmental degradation, reductions in visibility, and climate change. In this work, the global chemical transport model, GEOS-Chem, is used as a tool to examine chemistry-climate interactions and organic aerosols. GEOS-Chem is used to simulate present-day (year 2000) and future (year 2050) sulfate, nitrate, and ammonium aerosols and investigate the potential effects of changes in climate and emissions on global budgets and U.S. air quality. Changes in a number of meteorological parameters, such as temperature and precipitation, are potentially important for aerosols and could lead to increases or decreases in PM concentrations. Although projected changes in sulfate and nitrate precursor emissions favor lower PM concentrations over the U.S., projected increases in ammonia emissions could result in higher nitrate concentrations. The organic aerosol simulation in GEOS-Chem is updated to include aerosol from primary semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCS), intermediate volatility compounds (IVOCs), NOx dependent terpene aerosol, and aerosol from isoprene + NO3 reaction. SVOCs are identified as the largest global source of organic aerosol even though their atmospheric transformation is highly uncertain and emissions are probably underestimated. As a result of significant nighttime terpene emissions, fast reaction of monoterpenes with the nitrate radical, and high aerosol yields from NO3 oxidation, biogenic hydrocarbons reacting with the nitrate radical are expected to be a major contributor to surface level aerosol concentrations in anthropogenically influenced areas such as the United States. Globally, 69 to 88 Tg/yr of aerosol is predicted to be produced annually, approximately 22 to 24 Tg/yr of which is from biogenic hydrocarbons.
Climate-Sensitive Traits in the Fossil Flora of the Río Genoa Formation and the Late Paleozoic Patagonia Issue

Abstract. Paleoclimate traits are highly varied at the diverse paleoflora of the Río Genoa Formation in Patagonia. They are thoroughly analyzed in order to define macroclimate parameters that ruled the terrestrial vegetational growth during the early Permian. Plant-climate relationships have been historically used for understanding the distribution of present/past vegetation since they represent a continuous feedback along the terrestrial environments on Earth. Most of the indicators found in Patagonia clearly suggest warm and humid conditions during the entire deposition of the studied unit. Such conditions, related to subtropical climates, cannot be correlated with paleoclimate approaches originated from other proxies. This is due to several imprecisions that affect the interpretation of the paleogeographic position of Patagonia. Different hypotheses are erected in order to explain the paleofloristic and paleoclimatic anomaly present in southern South America, which should encourage new efforts to better understanding the geological dynamics of southwestern Gondwana.
The Effects on Instructional Conversations on English Language Learners

This research examined the effectiveness that the Instructional Conversations (ICs) teaching method had on elementary-aged English Language Learning (ELLs) students. Specifically, how ICs impact student academic achievement, academic language usage, and student engagement. The study compared two first grade classrooms, 39 participants, consisting of majority ELL students. The experimental group received math instruction through Instructional Conversation activities while the comparison group was taught using traditional math instruction and centers. After controlling for initial ability in math, results indicated that ICs did not lead to an increase of academic achievement or academic language usage when compared to students taught through traditional instruction. Results did show that engagement increased when taught using ICs. With an increase in engagement combined with a decrease in academic acquisition, results suggest that ICs should be used with caution when teaching content related material.
