Soil fertility status of tomato (Lycopersiacon esculentum, Mill) grown in areas of Hassan district, Karnataka.

Hassan and Belur taluks are the major tomato growing areas in the district and hence, this study was restricted to these two talukas. Surface soil samples from a depth of 0-15 cm were collected from 80 tomato-grown plots. Study revealed that the soil pH ranged from neutral to alkaline range (6.9 8.5) while, the electrical conductivity was in the range of 0.05 to 0.95 dS m. The soil organic-C content varied to a large extent 1.3 to 12.8 g kg. The soil organic-C content was low in more than 50 per cent of tomato soils. The available nitrogen content ranged from 205.0 to 376.3 kg ha. More than 70 per cent of tomato fields were found low in nitrogen. In contrast, both available phosphorus and potassium contents were found higher in majority of tomato grown soils. The available phosphorus was found high in almost all soils. Similarly, the available potassium content was higher in 90 per cent plots. None of the tomato grown soils were found lower in calcium while, 9 per cent of the fields recorded magnesium in lower. The available sulfur content was low in almost 68 per cent of tomato soils (5.6 ± 2.5 mg kg) and only 9 per cent of fields recorded higher sulphur content. The DTPA-Fe, Mn, Cu and Zn were found higher in 93, 91, 57 and 68 per cent of the tomato grown soils, respectively
Source spectra for the 1988 Saguenay, Quebec, earthquakes

Abstract Source spectra are obtained for the 1988 Saguenay, Quebec, earthquake ( m N = 6.5), its foreshock ( m N = 4.8), and largest aftershock ( m N = 4.1), using recordings from analog and digital seismographs on rock sites at epicentral distances from 40 to 700 km. The source spectra of the foreshock and the aftershock are well matched by a single-corner-frequency ω −2 model, with seismic moments of 2.2 × 10 22 and 2.2 × 10 21 dyne-cm, respectively, and a stress parameter of 65 bars for both events. By contrast, the spectrum of the mainshock differs dramatically from this simple shape. A stress parameter of 500 bars is required to match the observed high-frequency amplitudes, using the seismic moment determined from teleseismic observations as a constraint. This single-corner-frequency model, however, overestimates amplitudes at frequencies near 1 Hz by a factor of about 2. The relative radiation of short- and long-period energy for the mainshock is inconsistent with that from other intraplate earthquakes; the fore- and aftershocks appear typical in this regard. The extraction of source spectra from the regional data required a careful examination of attenuation. Azimuthal variations were observed, with the attenuation being most severe to the southeast (normal to the St. Lawrence Valley and the dominant structural grain of the region). The St. Lawrence River coincides in part with the boundary between the Grenville and Appalachian tectonic provinces, and the difference in attenuation may be related to the difference in tectonic province. The distribution of data, however, makes it difficult to obtain good estimates of the attenuation in each province. Lumping the data from both provinces and the three earthquakes together results in an anelastic attenuation factor given by Q = 755 f 0.5 for frequencies, f , from 0.6 to 18 Hz, using data at distances, R , beyond 100 km from the sources and assuming 1 / R geometrical spreading. This attenuation is similar to that obtained in a number of other studies in the general area. Three-component recordings were available at a few stations, and from these the following frequency-dependent ratio of horizontal-to-vertical motion was obtained: HIV = 1.14 + 0.118 f − 0.00638 f 2 , for frequencies from 0.2 to 15 Hz. Different methods of correcting observations for attenuation, in order to derive source spectra, were examined. Source spectra derived by simple regression analyses of observed data, assuming a uniform medium, are very similar to those based on a more complicated synthetic seismogram correction, which accounts for wave propagation in a layered Earth.

The heterogeneity of carbon Kuznets curves for advanced countries: comparing homogeneous, heterogeneous and shrinkage/Bayesian estimators

We investigate Carbon Kuznets Curves (CKC) relationships for advanced countries grouped in policy relevant groups – North America and Oceania, South Europe, North Europe – by means of various homogeneous, heterogeneous and shrinkage/Bayesian panel estimators. We try to provide an answer to the question ‘how sensitive are the CKC estimates to changes in the level of parameters' heterogeneity? ’. We do find that in coherence with their ‘policy and economic’ commitment to carbon reductions and environmental market-based instruments implementation, bell shapes are present only for northern EU, which leads the group of advanced countries. The other two lag behind. We show for the first time that CKC shapes are present if we net out Europe of the southern and less developed countries. This is coherent with the Kuznets paradigm. The negative side of the tale is that they characterize a bunch of few countries. Other advanced countries lag behind and are far from reaching a CKC dynamics. Heterogeneous and Bayesian estimators clearly show this, with the EU presenting turning points closely around $13 000 per capita Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Heterogeneous panel estimates also show that for lagging countries presumed bell shapes turn into linear relationships. The stability of outcomes across models is stronger when we compare heterogeneous rather than homogeneous models. If it is compared with other studies, our analysis highlights a relative lower variability across specifications.
Pinus and Betula pollen accumulation rates from the northern boreal forest as a record of interannual variation in July temperature

Fossil Pinus and Betula pollen accumulation rates (PARs, grains cm−2 a−1) from a peat profile in Nellim, northern Finland, were compared to a 20‐year annually resolved record of monitored pollen deposition data of both taxa from 2.5 km away, in order to determine the boundaries in the fossil pollen record. The smoothing inherent in the fossil PAR data is about 5 years compared with the annually monitored PARs but, while year‐to‐year variation in PARs is lost, the overall trend is retained. The fossil PARs were then calibrated with the appropriately smoothed temperature record for northern Finland. Betula pollen accumulation rates are much lower in the fossil record compared to the monitored ones. The correlation between fossil Betula PARs and July mean temperatures is much higher than the correlation between fossil Pinus PARs and temperature, probably because the subspecies Betula pubescens ssp. pubescens is at its northern limit in the area. The temperature signal in this dataset was disturbed during the period when the forests in the area were heavily cut and when regenerating trees were reaching maturity.

Awareness and acceptability of monkeypox vaccine in men who have sex with men

Background/aim To determine the knowledge about and acceptance level of monkeypox vaccine in men who have sex with men (MSM). Materials and methods A 14-item questionnaire, developed by the European Centers for Disease Control (ECDC), was presented online to MSM, aged ≥18 years old, via smartphone applications (Grindr and Hornet), between June 30th and August 12th, 2022. Results Of the 737 participants who completed the survey, 678 were born in Türkiye and 59 were migrants/visitors born in different countries. All of the participants were living in Türkiye. The median age was 31 (range 18–68) years. Overall, 21.9% were HIV-positive, 94.9% were using antiretroviral therapy (ART), 3.9% reported using preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP), 9.9% had been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the past 12 months, and 10.1% reported using chemicals during sexual intercourse in the past three months. Participants aged 45–54 were significantly more concerned about being treated differently due to monkeypox than those in the other age groups (p = 0.038). Compared to the participants who were HIV-negative, those who were HIV-positive were significantly more worried about acquiring monkeypox (34.1% were very worried and 43.6% were worried, p = 0.033), were more likely to definitely or probably get vaccinated if offered (67.6% and 80.6%, respectively, p = 0.002), and were more concerned about being exposed to different attitudes due to monkeypox (37.0% and 53.3%, respectively, p < 0.01). Among those using ART, 82.3% and 50.0% reported that they would definitely or probably get vaccinated if offered, respectively (p = 0.046). There were no significant differences between groups for the remaining parameters. Conclusion Despite the low level of knowledge about monkeypox, the majority of the participants reported that they believed in the vaccine’s efficacy. Those who were HIV-positive were particularly more concerned about monkeypox and were more willing to protect themselves compared to those who were HIV-negative.
Exploring the Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Daphnia cucullata Sars, 1862 in Boreal Lakes (Latvian Lakeland) Based on Microsatellites

We have used Daphnia cucullata (Crustacea: Cladocera) as a model organism for the first time in the four deepest Latvian lakes from the Boreal biogeographical region in order to find the genetic diversity of these populations. During the research, we detected the most appropriate microsatellite markers for future genetic studies of Daphnia cucullata populations of lakes Svente, Riča, Dridzis and Geraņimovas-Ilzas in the Boreal biogeographical region. Based on these microsatellite markers, we determined the genetic diversity of these populations. The loci Dgm105 and Dgm101 had the maximum number of alleles and the maximum number of private alleles. The specific locus Dgm105 had five private alleles (62% of all detected alleles), and locus Dgm101 had four private alleles (57% of all detected alleles) in these loci. We determined the observed heterozygosity (Hobs) and the expected heterozygosity (Hexp) level (via Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium), the number of polymorphic loci, the number of detected alleles in each analyzed microsatellite locus, the average number of alleles at the locus (Na), the average effective number of alleles at the locus (Ne), the FST of the population’s genetic differentiation, the genetic distance (D) (following Nei) and the significance (χ2-test) of differences between the levels of observed and expected heterozygosity. It was shown that Daphnia cucullata populations from lakes with a low number of zooplankton taxa (Riča and Geraņimovas-Ilzas) have a higher genetic diversity compared to lakes with a high number of zooplankton taxa (Dridzis and Svente). It was found that Daphnia cucullata populations from lakes Dridzis and Svente have the least genetic distance, and these populations form a single genetic group, as confirmed via clustering.
CCCD: Corner detection and curve reconstruction for improved 3D surface reconstruction from 2D medical images

: The conventional approach to creating 3D surfaces from 2D medical images is the marching cube algorithm, but it often results in rough surfaces. On the other hand, B-spline curves and nonuniform rational B-splines (NURBSs) offer a smoother alternative for 3D surface reconstruction. However, NURBSs use control points (CTPs) to define the object shape and corners play an important role in defining the boundary shape as well. Thus, in order to fill the research gap in applying corner detection (CD) methods to generate the most favorable CTPs, in this paper corner points are identified to predict organ shape. However, CTPs must be in ordered coordinate pairs. This ordering problem is resolved using curve reconstruction (CR) or chain code (CC) algorithms. Existing CR methods lead to issues like holes, while some chain codes have junction-induced errors that need preprocessing. To address the above issues, a new graph neural network (GNN)-based approach named curvature and chain code-based corner detection (CCCD) is introduced that not only orders the CTPs but also removes junction errors. The goal is to improve accuracy and reliability in generating smooth surfaces. The paper fuses well-known CD methods with a curve generation technique and compares these alternative fused methods with CCCD. CCCD is also compared against other curve reconstruction techniques to establish its superiority. For validation, CCCD’s accuracy in predicting boundaries is compared with deep learning models like Polar U-Net, KiU-Net 3D, and HdenseUnet, achieving an impressive Dice score of 98.49%, even with only 39.13% boundary
Tripartite motif protein 6 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma progression via multiple pathways

Background/aim Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ranks among the most prevalent malignancies worldwide and the third leading cause of cancer-related death. The TRIM (tripartite motif-containing) protein family members had been reported to be involved in carcinogenesis and tumor progression. Here we aimed to explore the expression profile of TRIM6 in HCC and investigate its clinical significance as well as underlying mechanisms. Materials and methods We retrospectively enrolled 138 HCC patients that underwent surgical resection in our hospital and tested protein expression level of TRIM6 through immunohistochemical staining. The correlation between TRIM6 and patients’ characteristics was assessed by Chi-square test. Log-rank test and Cox hazard regression test were conducted for univariate and multivariate survival analyses, respectively. Two human HCC cell lines, Huh7 and Hep3B, were subjected for knockdown and overexpression assays, followed by phonotype tests including proliferation and invasion. Nude mice were used to generate xenograft model to validate our findings in vivo. Results TRIM6 was highly expressed in HCC specimen compared to nontumorous liver tissues. Higher TRIM6 expression was correlated with larger tumor size, later tumor stage, and worse prognosis. According to the cellular experiments, TRIM6-knockdown resulted in decreased expression of cyclin B1, c-Myc, Snail, MMP2, and VEGF-A. Consistently, TRIM6-knockdown led to impaired HCC proliferation, invasion, and angiogenesis. In contrast, TRIM6 overexpression showed opposite effects. Finally, the oncogenic role of TRIM6 in HCC was validated by in vivo mice experiments. Conclusion TRIM6 can serve as a novel prognostic factor for HCC, which functions by multiple signaling pathways.
Interpetrosal sphingosine-1-phosphate ratio predicting Cushing’s disease tumor laterality and remission after surgery

Background Cushing’s disease (CD) poses significant challenges in its treatment due to the lack of reliable biomarkers for predicting tumor localization or postoperative clinical outcomes. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) has been shown to increase cortisol biosynthesis and is regulated by adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Methods We employed bilateral inferior petrosal sinus sampling (BIPSS), which is considered the gold standard for diagnosing pituitary sources of CD, to obtain blood samples and explore the clinical predictive value of the S1P concentration ratio in determining tumor laterality and postoperative remission. We evaluated 50 samples from 25 patients who underwent BIPSS to measure S1P levels in the inferior petrosal sinuses bilaterally. Results Serum S1P levels in patients with CD were significantly higher on the adenoma side of the inferior petrosal sinus than on the nonadenoma side (397.7 ± 15.4 vs. 261.9 ± 14.88; P < 0.05). The accuracy of diagnosing tumor laterality with the interpetrosal S1P and ACTH ratios and the combination of the two was 64%, 56% and 73%, respectively. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed that the combination of interpetrosal S1P and ACTH ratios, as a predictor of tumor laterality, exhibited a sensitivity of 81.82% and a specificity of 75%, with an area under the curve value of 84.09%. Moreover, we observed that a high interpetrosal S1P ratio was associated with nonremission after surgery. Correlation analyses demonstrated that the interpetrosal S1P ratio was associated with preoperative follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and postoperative ACTH 8 am levels (P < 0.05). Conclusion Our study demonstrated a significant association between the interpetrosal S1P ratio and tumor laterality, as well as postoperative remission in CD, suggesting that the interpetrosal S1P ratio could serve as a valuable biomarker in clinical practice.
Factors Affecting the Dividend Payout Ratio in Pharmaceutical Companies

This research was conducted to examine the effect of current ratio, debt to equity ratio, and return on asset on dividend payout ratio. The types of data that used are secondary data from the annual reports of pharmaceutical companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange period 2013-2021. The sample selection technique used purposive sampling and there are 6 (six) sample of pharmaceutical companies. Data analysis in this study used panel data regression with fixed effects as the selected model and processed using Eviews 10 software. The result of the research shows that the current ratio and debt to equity ratio have a positive significant effect to dividend payout ratio, but return on assets has no significant effect on dividend payout ratio. In addition, the current ratio, debt to equity ratio, and return on assets have a simultaneously effect on the dividend payout ratio. The adjusted R-Squared result was 0.418615 or 41.86 percent.
Dating Wooden Beams From the Grancia Monastic Abbey in Southern Italy

ABSTRACT We present the results of a dendrochronological study carried out on timbers from the monastic abbey Grancìa of Brindisi di Montagna in Southern Italy. Our objective was to date cross-sections of oak (Quercus spp.) taken from structural timbers to determine the felling dates, the time span covered by the series and to evaluate whether the retrieved tree-ring data could be used to extend an existing living trees chronology of oak from Southern Italy. Dendrochronological analyses were performed on samples collected from eight oak timbers in 2006 during the restoration of the abbey. Raw tree-ring series were crossdated and grouped into a floating chronology that was compared with an absolute reference chronology, specifically constructed from living Quercus pubescens (Willd.) trees, from the nearby Pollino National Park. Seven of eight samples could be absolutely dated in the early 19th, late 18th and mid late 17th Centuries, providing a chronology that reaches back to AD 1545.
Key aspects of the stratigraphy of the Upper Silesian middle Keuper, southern Poland

The stratigraphy of the Upper Silesian Keuper, a continental, mudstone-dominated succession is poorly known, although the already renowned, newly discovered vertebrate localities highlight the growing demand for a more precise intra-regional correlation and an appropriate stratigraphic reference framework. A major lithostrati- graphic unit, preliminarily proposed for the middle Keuper (i.e., above the Schilfsandstein; Stuttgart Formation in “Stratigraphische Tabelle von Deutschland”, 2002) by Szulc and Racki (2015; Przegląd Geologiczny , 63: 103– 113), is described in detail. The redefined Grabowa Variegated Mudstone-Carbonate Formation, the unit pre- viously based on inaccurately presented information, includes the Upper Gypsum Beds and the Steinmergel- keuper in the traditional scheme from Germany (= Weser and Arnstadt formations). Three members are formally defined: the Ozimek (Mudstone-Evaporite) Member, the Patoka (Marly Mudstone-Sandstone) Member and the Woźniki (Limestone) Member. Two significant bone-bearing horizons (Krasiejow and Lisowice) are placed within the Patoka Mbr. The formation thickness in a composite, regional reference section of the Upper Silesian Keuper, based on the new Woźniki K1 and Patoka 1 well profiles, is approximately 215 m thick. The Grabowa Fm generally correlates with the Norian stage, with the base located in the undefined upper Carnian, and is topped by a major, erosive disconformity and sedimentary sequence boundary, near the Norian-Rhaetian boundary. However, hiatuses in the Silesian middle Keuper succession are located and paired with a cannibalistic type of sand-mud flat deposition, largely controlled by Early Cimmerian movements of tectonic blocks associated with the Krakow– Lubliniec shear zone.
