A new Erica lusitanica Rudolphi heathland association to the Iberian south-west

Abstract As result of several field trips following doctoral research in Marianic-Monchiquensean Sector, we describe a new heathland named Lavandulo viridis-Ericetum lusitanici ass nova hoc loco (Genistion micrantho-anglicae, Rivas-Martínez 1979) as a thermomediterranean to lower mesomediterranean, upper dry to humid, schistose association. The analysis of 11 relevés, following Braun-Blanquet methodology shows the floristic identity of this new association as well as the chorological segregation of its area of occurrence. Finally, despite these communities already being relatively well known and although they are poor in species number, such heathlands show floristic singularity and own sinecology, with a large and distinct geographical area of distribution, so we emphasized its integration within Atlantic wet heaths priority habitat (∗4020 – Annex B-I from Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992).
Code Completion with Recurrent Neural Networks

Code completion is a feature that offers suggestions for what a software developer may want to type. Correct suggestions can help developers when programming. There are several forms of code completion and we study the problem of predicting source code tokens based on previous tokens. There is not enough knowledge about using recurrent neural networks to make code completion suggestions. Statistical methods and neural networks have achieved great results on natural language processing tasks. Programming language is also, like natural language, repetitive and this repetitiveness can be modeled using statistical methods or neural networks. We trained models with different architectures and hyperparameters on an open-source dataset with Java code to answer the question: How can recurrent neural networks be used for code completion? In our experiments, the highest accuracy we achieved was 61.0% correctly predicted tokens. This accuracy was achieved with a model with a single hidden layer, 512 LSTM units, a lookup table embedding and 10 words as input. We found that models with 512 hidden units achieved a significantly higher mean accuracy in our experiments than models with 128 hidden units. Furthermore, we found that in our experiments using 10 words as input led to a significantly higher accuracy than using five words and using five words as input led to a significantly higher accuracy than using one word. Our preliminary results indicate that more hidden layers can increase the generalization, that the accuracy of word-based models is higher than that of character-based models, and that different types of recurrent units and embedding types achieve a similar accuracy. We present recommendations for using recurrent neural networks for code completion based on our findings and preliminary results. We report the results and implementation details for all models in our experiments to allow these models and results to be compared to other approaches.
SENSORY CODING FOR FEEDING DETERRENCE IN THE GRASSHOPPER SCHISTOCERCA AMERICANA

The electrophysiological responses of sensilla on the tibia of Schistocerca americana (Drury) to six compounds were examined. All the compounds were shown to cause feeding deterrence at high concentrations. Nicotine hydrogen tartrate, quinine, hordenine (all alkaloids) and salicin (a phenolic glycoside) all stimulated one cell in each sensillum. This was shown by differential adaptation experiments to be the same cell. In some sensilla this cell also responded to linamarin (a cyanogenic glycoside). Earlier work had shown that the activity of this cell was correlated with feeding deterrence. However, canavanine (a nonprotein amino acid) did not stimulate this cell, although it caused feeding deterrence. All the compounds, except salicin, produced a marked depression in the activity of cells responding to sucrose, and at higher concentrations of the compounds this inhibition was almost complete. The activity of the deterrent cell and inhibition of the activity of sucrose-sensitive cells appear to act together to produce the behavioural effects of most chemicals, but canavanine appears to act only by suppressing the activity of other cells and salicin primarily through activity of the deterrent cell. In addition, quinine disrupts the activity of all the cells and in its presence the deterrent cell adapts very slowly so that the message signalling deterrence is sustained. At low concentrations, salicin, and probably hordenine, increased the duration of feeding. In the case of hordenine this was due to an increase in the firing rate of sucrose-sensitive neurones; with salicin the increase was associated with a high threshold of response and a rapid rate of adaptation of the deterrent cell. Thus, similar behavioural effects are produced by a variety of sensory phenomena with each compound acting in a slightly different manner from the others.
Relating Oil Price Differentials to Industrial Production in Nigeria: BVAR Approach

In the protracted quest for the diversification of the Nigerian economy, empirical conclusions have been made that oil price shocks are negatively related to output growth. Many studies on oil price – macroeconomy relationship in Nigera have been conducted without considering the net differential of the oil price change which contributed in muddling up the results.In a bid to overcome this, we employed the EGARCH model to extricate only the increases in oil price and used the conditional volatility measure in the Bayesian Vector Autoregression(BVAR)model based on monthly data (1986M1 to 2015M12) for industrial production index and selected macroeconomic variables in Nigeria. Our results show that shock to oil price causes a rise in industrial production which may indicate that positive oil price increase is favourable to output growth in Nigeria. Therefore, the authorities should take advantage of the increased revenue accruing from rise in oil price to diversify into industrial and manufacturing productions and further stimulate industrial capacity growth through appropriate policies.
Hormonal priming to overcome drought stress and aging damage in groundnut seed (Arachis hypogaea L.)

Groundnut seed priming was performed with an aqueous solution of gibberellic acid (GA3) (0, 50, 100, and 150 ppm for 18h) and accelerated aging (96 h) was done prior to drought stress (-0.4, -0.6, and -0.8 MPa), then recovered. Investigated traits were germination percentage, mean germination time, germination rate, vigor index, plumule length, radicle length, seedling length, malondialdehyde content, antioxidant enzymes activities (CAT, SOD, and APX), soluble sugars, and protein content. In comparison with the control group, hormonal priming mitigated the negative effects of both aging and drought stress signiﬁcantly. When seeds were recovered, hormonal priming was more effective. The obtained results showed that seed priming with GA3 performed after the accelerated aging had more pronounced effect on all parameters of recovered seeds. Hence, priming with 100 ppm of GA3 is suggested.
Effectiveness of Music Therapy (Traditional) on Negative Symptoms of Schizophrenia Ills of Boroujen Centers

Introduction: difference of schizophrenia spectrum is one of the most complex and strange disorder, among other psychological disorder, which is obvious in its treatment as well. One of the new treatments is music therapy in this regard. The present study is to investigate the effectiveness of music therapy (traditional) as a way of treatment on negative symptoms of schizophrenic peoples of the centers of Boroujen town. Methodology: this research is semi-empirical and uses pre test and post test with control group. The statistical society consists of 60 schizophrenics who are in the centers of Boroujen, in 2017. After determining the inputs of the study, 30persons out of 60 are selected randomly and divided in two with random replacement method. The experiment group participates in music therapy (traditional) sessions and the control group doesn't. The experiment is done twice a week for 12 sessions of 45 minutes for music therapy (traditional). All the patients are assessed before and after participation in terms of negative symptoms based on Anderson's scale. Finally, the data of the study are analyzed with covariance analysis. Findings: The results show that there is a meaningful difference between negative symptoms of the patients of experiment group in the two phases of before and after the test (p<0/001). Conclusion: Based on this research, it seems that the use of traditional music therapy is considered to be a necessity to prevent and decrease the negative symptoms of schizophrenics.
Model of Grid Connected Photovoltaic System Using MATLAB/SIMULINK

Abstract:The energy sources like oil, coal and natural gas are depleting very quickly. Nuclear fission produces radioactive waste which is very harmful for human body. So we need alternative source like renewable energy sources for electric power generation. Energy from the sun is one of the promising options option for electricity generation as it is available everywhere. In this thesis Paper, the performance of a single phase Grid connected PV system is studied. The system includes PV module, a DC/DC converter, a DC/AC inverter and LCL filter . There are two control mechanism in the designed PV system where the first one is for maximum power point tracking of the PV module and another one is for injecting the desired amount of active and reactive power to the grid. The whole system is designed and simulated by MATLAB(simulink).
Sugar and Organic Acid Variations in Commercial Cantaloupes and Their Inbred Parents

Markedly higher average sucrose (58.1%) was recovered from mesocarp tissue of six orange-flesh canta- loupe (Cucumis melo L.) genotypes over three seasons compared to glucose (17.5%) and fructose (25.6%). A signifi cant decrease in sucrose concentration was observed in the fall for all six genotypes, and the glucose (21.2%) and fructose (33.5%) ratios were also higher in the fall; markedly different than the spring fruit averages. The female inbreds had signifi cantly (P = 0.05) lower glucose, fructose, sucrose, and total sugars than the commercial hybrids. Compared to the male and female inbreds, commercial hybrids had signifi cantly (P = 0.05) higher concentrations of fructose, sucrose and total sugars, but not glucose. Two refractometric digital measures of °Brix (°Brix-At and °Brix-II) in homogenized slurries were positively correlated (r = 0.914; P ≤ 0.001), and were also correlated with total sugars (r ≥ 0.839) and sucrose (r ≥ 0.752). °Brix of cubes (°Brix-cube) was signifi cantly correlated with sucrose and total sugars (r ≥ 0.627). Total sugar was positively correlated with sucrose (r = 0.843; P ≤ 0.001). Eastern-type U.S. melons had signifi cantly (P = 0.05) higher °Brix-cube and °Brix-At compared to U.S. western shipper-types. Female inbreds were signifi cantly (P = 0.05) lower in mean °Brix (all three measures) compared to the hybrids and male inbreds, and female inbreds had higher pH than the male inbreds. Western shippers had signifi cantly (P = 0.05) higher pH compared to eastern geno- types. The predominant organic acid in all six genotypes was succinic acid, generally followed by oxalic, citric/isocitric, then malic acid. Succinic acid recovery was signifi cantly higher in all six genotypes harvested in the fall, compared to spring. Eastern genotypes had signifi cantly (P = 0.05) lower organic acids compared to western genotypes. Results indicate that maternal inheritance appears to confer lower sugar accumulating capacity and higher pH, which, is as- sociated with vacuolar acid invertase (AI) and hexose balance. Breeding programs should focus on hybrid vigor derived through accentuating homozygous female inbreds with lower pH and higher capacity for sucrose accumulation, as well as morphological and agronomic traits often carried in the female line.
Food composition of Uludag frog, Rana macrocnemis Boulenger, 1885 in Uludag (Bursa, Turkey)

Feeding habit and food preferences of Uludag frog, Rana macrocnemis were studied in 2006 and 2007 in Uludag (Bursa, Turkey). Stomach contents of 165 (87 males, 58 females, 20 juveniles) individuals were analyzed and a total of 2,129 prey items were determined. It was found that the species fed mainly on a variety of invertebrates and especially on insects (96.5%). The most frequently consumed prey items were Coleoptera (62.8%), Diptera (14.4%), and Hymenoptera (9.8%). There was no significant sex- and age-dependent difference in the feeding regime. It appears that the species is feeding less in the breeding period and more in the post-breeding period. It was also evident that there was an increase in the consumption of Coleoptera depending on the elevation.
Off-Policy Evaluation via the Regularized Lagrangian

The recently proposed distribution correction estimation (DICE) family of estimators has advanced the state of the art in off-policy evaluation from behavior-agnostic data. While these estimators all perform some form of stationary distribution correction, they arise from different derivations and objective functions. In this paper, we unify these estimators as regularized Lagrangians of the same linear program. The unification allows us to expand the space of DICE estimators to new alternatives that demonstrate improved performance. More importantly, by analyzing the expanded space of estimators both mathematically and empirically we find that dual solutions offer greater flexibility in navigating the tradeoff between optimization stability and estimation bias, and generally provide superior estimates in practice.
Negligible Obstructions and Turán Exponents

We show that for every rational number $r \in (1,2)$ of the form $2 - a/b$, where $a, b \in \mathbb{N}^+$ satisfy $\lfloor a/b \rfloor^3 \le a \le b / (\lfloor b/a \rfloor +1) + 1$, there exists a graph $F_r$ such that the Turan number $\operatorname{ex}(n, F_r) = \Theta(n^r)$. Our result in particular generates infinitely many new Turan exponents. As a byproduct, we formulate a framework that is taking shape in recent work on the Bukh--Conlon conjecture.
Insight into protist diversity in Arctic sea ice and melt-pond aggregate obtained by pyrosequencing

Protists in the central Arctic Ocean are adapted to the harsh environmental conditions of its various habitats. During the Polarstern cruise ARK-XXVI/3 in 2011, at one sea-ice station, large aggregates accumulated at the bottom of the melt ponds. In this study, the protist assemblages of the bottom layer of the sea-ice and melt-pond aggregate were investigated using flow cytometry and 454-pyrosequencing. The objective is to provide a first molecular overview of protist biodiversity in these habitats and to consider the overlaps and/or differences in the community compositions. Results of flow cytometry pointed to a cell size distribution that was dominated by 3–10 µm nanoflagellates. The phylogenetic classification of all sequences was conducted at a high taxonomic level, while a selection of abundant (≥1% of total reads) sequences was further classified at a lower level. At a high taxonomic level, both habitats showed very similar community structures, dominated by chrysophytes and chlorophytes. At a lower taxonomic level, dissimilarities in the diversity of both groups were encountered in the abundant biosphere. While sea-ice chlorophytes and chrysophytes were dominated by Chlamydomonas/Chloromonas spp. and Ochromonas spp. , the melt-pond aggregate was dominated by Carteria sp. , Ochromonas spp. and Dinobryon faculiferum. We suppose that the similarities in richness and community structure are a consequence of melt-pond freshwater seeping through porous sea ice in late summer. Differences in the abundant biosphere nevertheless indicate that environmental conditions in both habitats vary enough to select for different dominant species.
Proposed ordering of textured spin singlets in a bulk infinite-layer nickelate

The infinite-layer structure nickelate Ba$_2$NiO$_2$(AgSe)$_2$ (BNOAS) with $d^8$ Ni ions and a peculiar susceptibility $\chi(T)$ is studied with correlated density functional methods. The overriding feature of the calculations is violation of Hund's rule coupled with complete but unconventional spin-orbital polarization, leading to an unexpected low spin $^1B_1$, "off-diagonal singlet" (ODS) textured by an internal orbital structure of compensating $d_{x^2-y^2}^{\uparrow}$ and $d_{z^2}^{\downarrow}$ spins. This unconventional configuration has lower energy than conventional high-spin or low-spin alternatives. An electronic transition is obtained at a critical Ni-O separation $d_c^{Ni-O}=$2.03 A, above which Ni becomes magnetic in square planar NiO$_2$ compounds. We propose scenarios for the signature of magnetic reconstruction in $\chi(T)$ at $T_{m}$=130 K without any Curie-Weiss background (no moment) that invoke ordering of Ni $d^8$ moieties that are largely this generalized Kondo singlet. The underlying physics of this system is modeled by a Kondo sieve model (2D Kondo necklace) of a "Kondo" $d_{z^2}$ spin on each site, coupled to a $d_{x^2-y^2}$ spin that is itself strongly coupled to neighboring like-spins within the layer. The observed magnetic order places BNOAS below the quantum critical point of the Kondo sieve model, providing a realization of the previously unreported long-range ordered near-singlet weak antiferromagnetic phase. We propose electron doping experiments that would drive the system toward a $d^{9-\delta}$ configuration and possible superconductivity with similarity to the recently reported Ba$_2$CuO$_{3.2}$ that superconducts at 73 K.
Multiwavelength analysis of the variability of the blazar 3C 273.

We present multiwavelength light curves and polarimetric data of the Flat Spectrum Radio Quasar 3C 273 over 8 yr. The wavelength range of our data set extends from radio to gamma-rays. We found that the optical emission in this source is dominated by the accretion disc during the entire time-frame of study. We additionally find that in contrast with the observed behaviour in other blazars, 3C 273 does not show a correlation between the gamma-ray spectral index and the gamma-ray luminosity. Finally, we identified an anticorrelation between the 15 GHz and V-band light curves for the time-range JD 245 = 4860-5760, which we speculate is the consequence of the inner part of the accretion disc falling into the black hole, followed by the ejection of a component into the jet.
RESEARCH ARTICLE ANTIMICROBIAL SENSITIVITY PATTERN OF ESCHERICHIA COLI ISOLATED FROM URINE SAMPLES OF UTI PATIENTS AND ISSUES RELATED TO THE RATIONAL SELECTION OF

Antimicrobial resistance is not only increasing the healthcare costs, but also the severity and death rates from certain infections that could have been avoided by prudent and rational use of the existing and newer antimicrobial agents. Prudent and rational use of antimicrobial is possible by forming local, national and global wide Antibiogram. The present study is undertaken to prepare local antibiogram and to discuss general issues related to antimicrobials use. Total 170 urine samples were processed for culture sensitivity testing. Identification of bacteria was done by gram staining. Isolation of the organisms was done by inoculation of sample on agar medium. After 24 hours of incubation each organism was identified on the basis of morphology of colony in culture media and biochemical reactions. Antibiotic sensitivity Testing was carried out on Muller Hinton Medium by Disc Diffusion Method following Kirby Bauer method.Out of 170 samples were processed, 136 organisms were isolated from urine which includes Escherichia coli (76), Klebsiella (34), Pseudomonas (12), and Staphylococci (14). E.coli is most common organism (55.9 %). E.coli is most sensitive to piperacillin/tazobactam and gatifloxacin. An attempt has been made in this study to recognize the E.coli infection in patients of tertiary care hospital, Surendranagar, Gujarat; to record the antibiogram and probable drug of choice for E.coli. Considering the antibiotic susceptibility testing, cost, side effects and many other factors, gatifloxacin should be preferred for E.coli infection for UTI.
Introgressive hybridization between Dolly Varden Salvelinus malma and white‐spotted charr Salvelinus leucomaenis on Hokkaido Island, Japan

Intra- and interspecific phylogenetic analysis of Dolly Varden Salvelinus malma and white-spotted charr Salvelinus leucomaenis throughout Hokkaido Island was conducted using nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial DNA control region and three nuclear DNA markers [ribosomal DNA (ITS-1), microsatellite (u-85), SINE (Fok-223)]. A total of 19 mtDNA haplotypes from 271 individuals of Dolly Varden, nine haplotypes from 134 white-spotted charr were defined, and identified two well-supported monophyletic clades for each species. Two haplotypes of Dolly Varden, however, were clustered together in the white-spotted charr clade. Those haplotypes were found only from several rivers in the Shiretoko Peninsula, and a neighbouring river of that region. Analyses of ribosomal DNA and Fok-223 loci revealed that both species are characterized by having completely species-specific diagnostic sequence and fragment patterns. Dolly Varden of the Shiretoko populations are typically allopatric in distribution where white-spotted charr do not currently occur. In addition, incongruence in genetic relationships between mtDNA and nuclear DNA markers give strong evidence of historical mtDNA introgression between Dolly Varden and white-spotted charr. Some white-spotted charr diagnostic alleles in a nuclear microsatellite locus (u-85) were found in some Shiretoko Dolly Varden populations, suggesting that introgressive hybridization might have also occurred in relatively recent contact and potentially ongoing evolutionary event. The present study presents an example of historical hybridization and introgression at the southernmost distribution limits of Dolly Varden.
APPARENT SURVIVAL RATES OF WESTERN SANDPIPER (CALIDRIS MAURI) WINTERING IN NORTHWEST BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO

Abstract To estimate annual apparent local survival, we collected capture–resighting data on 256 individually marked male Western Sandpipers (Calidris mauri) wintering at Estero de Punta Banda, Mexico, between 1994–1997. A hierarchical modeling approach was used to address the effect of age class and year on survivorship rates. The best-fit model included a constant apparent survival probability (ϕ = 0.489; 95% CI = 0.410–0.569), but several models fit nearly as well, and averaging among the top five, to account for model uncertainty, suggested that adults had somewhat higher values than juveniles (ϕ = 0.490 ± 0.051 vs. 0.450 ± 0.067). Detection probability was substantially higher for adults than for juveniles (p = 0.741 vs. p = 0.537). Those apparent survival estimates are low compared with those from other studies of Western Sandpipers at breeding and other nonbreeding locations, and substantially lower than the true survivorship rates expected for small sandpipers in general. We interpret these results as indicating that this site is of below average quality for nonbreeding male Western Sandpipers.
