Characterization of Nonconventional Food Plants Seeds Guizotia abyssinica (L.f.) Cass., Panicum miliaceum L., and Phalaris canariensis L. for Application in the Bakery Industry

Consumers have given preferences to food products that, in addition to the nutritional properties, also present bioactive characteristics with beneficial health effects. The use of Nonconventional Food Plants (NCFP) has been an asset for the food industry, not only due to its abundance but, also, because it does not compete with other vegetable matrices used for human consumption for its nutritional properties, chemical and bioactive potentiality. The present work aimed to study the granulometry and water absorption index of three seeds of unconventional food plants: niger, millet and birdseed, followed by their nutritional value, content in free sugars, fatty acids, organic acids, tocopherols and phenolic compounds by chromatographic methods and, also, the evaluation of the antioxidant, hepatotoxic and antimicrobial potential in their hydroethanolic extracts. Bakery products were developed with a partial replacement of wheat flour, using the centroid simplex method to understand the effect of applying NCFP flours in the final physical–chemical characteristics. The high granulometry associated with the high water absorption index indicates that the use of NCFP flours would have to be complemented with other flours for baking. The chemical composition of niger seed stood out the most; however, all seeds presented relatively low IC50 and MIC values for the inhibition of lipid peroxidation and antimicrobial activity, respectively. Finally, breads made with a mixture of millet and birdseed flour showed the greatest similarity to the control bread. Considering their composition in bioactive compounds, the use of these seeds is highly advisable in the context of a fortified diet, being sources of compounds of high nutritional value and with beneficial health effects for the final consumer.
Ecology of Ticks (Ixodidae) on Cattle within Main Campus of the University of Abuja, Nigeria

A survey was conducted using standard parasitological procedures to determine the ecology of ticks on the cattle within the main campus of the University of Abuja, Nigeria. The tick specie identified were Amblyomma variegatum, Amblyomma hebraeum, 0rnithodorus moubata complex, Hyalomma truncatum, Hyalomma rufipies, Rhipicephalus decoloratus, Phipicephalus appendiculatus, and Boophilus microplus. Of the 100 cattle examined. 47(47%) of the tick examined was found on the male cow and 53(53%) were found on the female cow. In addition, 23(23%) of the observed tick are found on the leg, 20(20%) are found in the anus, 20(20%) are found on the udder, 14(14%) are found on the back while 23(23%) of the ticks are found in the ear. 31(31%) of the observed ticks were found on the bunaj specie, 24(24%) of the ticks on the Gudali, 24(24%) of the observed ticks on the Rahaji specie and 21(21%) on the wadara specie. Amblyomma hebraeum, Ornithodorus moubata Complex and Rhipicephalus dicoloratus were found more dominantly on Bunaj breed (42.9%, 55.6% and 42.9% respectively), Amblyomma variegatum and Phipicephalus appendiculatus was observed to be more dominant on Rahaji breed (infesting 33.3% and 66.7% respectively), Boophylus microplus and Hyalomma rufipe were found dominant on wadara (30% and 50% respectively). There is need to help establish baseline information on ticks ecology and occurrence in the study area which would consequently lead to increased public awareness especially to the herdsmen and in avoiding tick borne diseases, also to help in vector control formulation and to prevent the herdsmen of suffering from low productivity due to the presence of ticks, thereby leading to various weaknesses, diseases and sometimes death of the cattle. Owing to this, this study did not only identify the tick species infesting cattle but also examined the host-parasite ecology of ticks on cattle within the main campus of the University of Abuja, Nigeria.
Infinitesimal H-pseudobialgebra and associative pseudo-Yang-Baxter equation

Abstract This article aims to study infinitesimal H-pseudobialgebra and associative pseudo-Yang-Baxter equation. Firstly, we define infinitesimal H-pseudobialgebra, which is an associative analog of Lie H-pseudobialgebra. We also obtain the associative pseudo-Yang-Baxter equation over an associative H-pseudoalgebra. Next, we establish the connections between infinitesimal H-pseudobialgebra and Lie H-pseudobialgebra, associative pseudo-Yang-Baxter equation and classical pseudo-Yang-Baxter equation. Finally, the annihilation algebra of an associative H-pseudoalgebra is discussed.
A short note on Markov duality in multi–species higher spin stochastic vertex models

We show that the multi-species higher spin stochastic vertex model, also called the U_q(A_n^{(1)}) vertex model, satisfies a duality where the indicator function has the form {\eta^x_{[1,n]} \geq \xi^x_{[1,n]} }. In other words, for every particle in the \xi configuration of species i at vertex x, there must be a particle of species j > i at vertex x in the \eta configuration. The proof follows by applying charge reversal to previously discovered duality functions, which also results in open boundary conditions. As a corollary, we recover the duality for the stochastic six vertex model recently found by Y. Lin.
DIGITAL MARKETING: ENGAGING CONSUMERS WITH SMART DIGITAL MARKETING CONTENT

The accelerated development of digital technology is currently affected by several factors such as the use of internet technology, the development of smartphones, the emergence of various social media, the deve­lopment of e-commerce and the large number of people who actively use the internet. This study aimed to find a suitable marketing strategy for promoting food products by observing the development of digital marketing, especially today’s social media marketing. Bali was well known as one of the destinations visited by local and International tourists. One restaurant located in Kuta called Maisyaroh, in spite of the advancement of digital technology, had not optimized the use of the technology well. Whereas, it actually could affect the competitive advantages. In addition, a qualitative descriptive approach was used in this research, while the data collection techniques were carried out through observation, in-depth interviews by using Zoom Meeting and docu­men­tation. The results stated that promotion using Instagram (IG) endorsement and paid promote could increase brand awareness and buying interest.
Secondary Flow and Flow Redistribution in Two Sharp Bends on the Middle Yangtze River

It remains an open question whether the state of knowledge on bend hydrodynamics applies to sharp bends in the largest river systems on Earth. This paper reports a field investigation into the hydrodynamics in two consecutive sharp bends of the Middle Yangtze River (MYR), and demonstrates that the reduced‐order model of Blanckaert and de Vriend is able to resolve the secondary flow strength and continuous flow redistribution in rivers of this size to high accuracy. Consequently, the model has been validated over the entire range of scales. These two bends show similarities to those of smaller size in terms of bathymetry, flow redistribution, and secondary flow evolution. The transverse location of the core of maximum velocity along the bends lags behind the thalweg by approximately half a width. A center‐region cell of secondary flow develops over the outer bank near the apex, and gradually decays downstream until it completely vanishes at the bend exit. Both bends are mildly curved from the perspective of hydrodynamic modeling, with a weak interaction between the secondary flow and primary flow, although they are sharply curved from the perspective of geomorphology (width/radius > 0.5). A term‐by‐term analysis of the model indicates that the flow redistribution is primarily controlled by planimetric changes in curvature and by topographic steering, and is slightly influenced by the secondary flow. However, the secondary flow may indirectly affect the flow redistribution by conditioning the bed topography. Important knowledge gaps remain with respect to the coupling between the hydrodynamic and morphological processes.
YAVAŞ YEMEK KONSEPTİNDE HİZMET VEREN RESTORAN İŞLETMELERİNİN SOSYAL MEDYA KULLANIMI: TRIPADVISOR ÖRNEĞİ

Evaluations on social networking sites affect individuals' decision-making and purchasing behaviors and contribute positively to the choice of Slow Food restaurants. The purpose of the research is to highlight the benefits of marketing restaurants serving in the Slow Food concept on Tripadvisor. 553 user comments on Tripadvisor between the dates of 10.04. 2021 and 15.05. 2021 regarding the 11 restaurants serving in the slow-food concept in Turkey were analyzed. After the user reviews were subjected to content analysis, positive and negative comments were classified under certain categories. In the analysis of the customer comments, 2802 positive and 202 negative indicators were found under the categories. It has been determined that mainly the comments are concentrated on service, food, and beverage categories, physical structure, price, location, revisit, and recommendation intentions. According to the research results, it is possible to say that the comments shared about Slow-food restaurants will impact potential customers.
Localized Sensitivity Analysis at High-Curvature Boundary Points of Reconstructing Inclusions in Transmission Problems

In this paper, we are concerned with the recovery of the geometric shapes of inhomogeneous inclusions from the associated far field data in electrostatics and acoustic scattering. We present a local resolution analysis and show that the local shape around a boundary point with a high magnitude of mean curvature can be reconstructed more easily and stably. In proving this, we develop a novel mathematical scheme by analyzing the generalized polarisation tensors (GPTs) and the scattering coefficients (SCs) coming from the associated scattered fields, which in turn boils down to the analysis of the layer potential operators that sit inside the GPTs and SCs via microlocal analysis. In a delicate and subtle manner, we decompose the reconstruction process into several steps, where all but one steps depend on the global geometry, and one particular step depends on the mean curvature at a given boundary point. Then by a sensitivity analysis with respect to local perturbations of the curvature of the boundary surface, we establish the local resolution effects. Our study opens up a new field of mathematical analysis on wave super-resolution imaging.
A Risk and Comfort Optimizing Motion Planning Scheme for Merging Scenarios*

Motion planning for merging scenarios accounting for measurement and prediction uncertainties is a major challenge on the way to autonomous driving. Classical methods subdivide the motion planning into behavior and trajectory planning, thus narrowing down the solution set. Hence, in complex merging scenarios, no suitable solution might be found. In this work, we present a planning scheme that solves behavior and trajectory planning together by exploring all possible decision options. A safety strategy is implemented and the risk of violating a safety constraint is minimized as well as the jerk to feature a risk and comfort optimal trajectory. To mitigate the injection of noise into the actual trajectory, a new analytical trajectory generation method is derived and its optimality is proven. The decision capability is evaluated through Monte-Carlo simulation. Furthermore, the calculation time is evaluated showing the real-time capability of our approach.
Interannual, Seasonal and Regional Variations in the Martian Convective Boundary Layer Derived From GCM Simulations With a Semi‐Interactive Dust Transport Model

We present interannual, seasonal, and regional variations in the daytime Martian convective boundary layer (CBL). Martian CBL meteorology is driven both by the effect of diurnal and seasonal cycles as well as complex Martian topography. One of the most important components of the Martian atmosphere is its dust cycle. Here, we develop a novel semi‐interactive dust transport model within the MarsWRF framework, in which the dust is lifted, advected by model winds, mixed, and allowed to sediment, but is then scaled to match two‐dimensional maps of the observed daily column‐integrated dust opacity. This allows the vertical dust distribution and associated dust radiative heating to be controlled by model processes, while the horizontal dust distribution is constrained to follow observations. We report the impact of the dust cycle on Martian boundary layer meteorology. Enhanced dust transport lowers the global net surface heating rates, decreasing the turbulent mixing in CBL to virtually zero (within the dust storm season) and, enhances the wind shear on average by almost 50%. As a superposition of both impacts, during global dust storms (GDS) in Mars Year (MY) 25 and 34, we find that long‐lasting extremely shallow daytime boundary layers can globally form as shallow as 0.5 km (but not for the less intense GDS in MY 28), unlike the 9 km deep and highly turbulent CBL formation at GDS onset and decay. Based on our GCM results, strong CBL suppression lasts as long as approximately 67 and 57 sols during GDS events in MY 25 and 34.
Model Specification Test with Unlabeled Data: Approach from Covariate Shift

We propose a novel framework of the model specification test in regression using unlabeled test data. In many cases, we have conducted statistical inferences based on the assumption that we can correctly specify a model. However, it is difficult to confirm whether a model is correctly specified. To overcome this problem, existing works have devised statistical tests for model specification. Existing works have defined a correctly specified model in regression as a model with zero conditional mean of the error term over train data only. Extending the definition in conventional statistical tests, we define a correctly specified model as a model with zero conditional mean of the error term over any distribution of the explanatory variable. This definition is a natural consequence of the orthogonality of the explanatory variable and the error term. If a model does not satisfy this condition, the model might lack robustness with regards to the distribution shift. The proposed method would enable us to reject a misspecified model under our definition. By applying the proposed method, we can obtain a model that predicts the label for the unlabeled test data well without losing the interpretability of the model. In experiments, we show how the proposed method works for synthetic and real-world datasets.
Performance measurement systems, hierarchical accountability and enabling control

The theory of enabling control explains how the development and design of performance measurement systems (PMSs) induce subordinate managers to experience PMSs as enabling. However, PMSs are often vital to superior managers’ control. The empirical research indicates that PMSs cease to be enabling when given a large degree of attention in control processes. We use a qualitative case study, abductive research, and a hierarchical accountability perspective to explore how superior managers’ use of PMSs for control purposes may support subordinate managers’ experience of PMSs as enabling. We show how superior managers’ choices of how to use PMSs to demand and react to accounts may trigger subordinate managers to use the design characteristics of enabling control. We also show how PMSs can be important to superior managers’ control and still be experienced as enabling by subordinate managers. We show the importance of two choices for superior managers’ use of PMSs in hierarchical accountability: (1) extend performance evaluation over time and (2) limit the discretion for subordinate managers to play out within hierarchical communication.
Mass-conserving weak solutions to the coagulation and collisional breakage equation with singular rates

In this article, the existence of mass-conserving solutions is investigated to the continuous coagulation and collisional breakage equation with singular coagulation kernels. Here, the probability distribution function attains singularity near the origin. The existence result is constructed by using both conservative and non-conservative truncations to the continuous coagulation and collisional breakage equation. The proof of the existence result relies on a classical weak L1 compactness method.
Influence of Waste Marble Dust on the Improvement of Expansive Clay Soils

The marble process industry from Shaq Al-Thouban region, which is located in East Cairo, Egypt, produces a huge amount of marble wastes every day during the cutting and processing stages. Up to now, most of these wastes are dumping on open land which creates serious environmental problems. The amount of waste marble from the processing stage is about 20 to 25% of the total processed stone. Egypt also suffers from the problem of expansive soil that occupies a large area of its lands, especially in the new cities that are built on these lands. The primary purpose of this study is to use this waste material in the soil stabilization in point of view utilization of this waste as local low-cost materials and elimination of their negative environmental impacts. The waste marble dust was mixed with expansive soil samples with various percentages of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% by dry weight of soil. Different tests including Atterberg’s limits, standard Proctor compaction, unconfined compressive strength (UCS), California bearing ratio (CBR), swelling percentage, linear shrinkage (LS) tests, and XRF and XRD analyses were conducted for natural and marble dust stabilized soils. The soil mixtures used for UCS, CBR, and swell tests were compacted at the optimum moisture content (OMC) and maximum dry density (MDD) using the standard Proctor compaction method and cured for 7 days. The results of the tests showed that there are significant effects in enhancing the properties of expansive soils. Also, the results showed that as the percentage of the marble dust increases the plasticity index, the swelling potential of the expansive clayey soil decreases. Furthermore, the optimum moisture content decreases, and the maximum dry density increases. Also, UCS, CBR, and the calcite content of the soil mixtures increase with the increase in marble dust content.
CycloneDetector (v1.0) – Algorithm for detecting cyclone and anticyclone centers from mean sea level pressure layer

Abstract. Automatic methods for identifying and tracking cyclones were firstly constructed in 1990's and since then there was a big increase in a precision and probability of detection. These methods have been traditionally focused on cyclones (and particularly on tropical cyclones), but the question of anticyclone centers detection remained unsolved since they are usually not a source of turbulent weather, precipitation etc. However, this issue can be important in the era of the climate change. In this paper, an algorithm for an automatic detection of both, cyclones and anticyclones based on mean sea level pressure field, is presented. The algorithm uses two-dimensional raster data as an input and returns a list of detected pressure systems. The main advantages of our solution are easy implementation since it is based on the standard image processing algorithm, sufficient performance of the algorithm, and especially the possibility of high-pressure systems detection. Moreover, the presented solution does not need a direct terrain filtering needed for some algorithms to be done. To validate the quality of detection algorithm results, a comparison against manually prepared data by Met Office was used. It follows from the comparison that the presented algorithm produces results similar to those by Met Office. The most significant differences can be found in the detection of cyclones at the beginning or the end of the lifespan stage. Met Office detects more cyclones in these stages than the presented solution.
AN EXPLANATORY MODEL OF THE ECOTOURISTS BEHAVIOUR: MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES FOR TOURISM SECTOR

Concern for the environment, which is of interest to academia, the business world and society in general, has meant the development of green marketing in the last half century. Environment can influence consumer behaviour and specifically the way tourists consume. The promotion of ecotourism, through information and communication, must be based on the identification of the different behaviour models to which marketing strategies are directed, according to needs, motivations, interests, expectations, behaviours and attitudes. The main research goal of this study is to determine the internal and external factors that influence the consumer behaviours identified as ecotourists, as well as the factors that shape their purchasing intentions. The theory of planned behaviour has shown its usefulness because its object (i.e., intention to perform a behaviour, taking into account that in the intentions are the factors that motivate the behaviour), through attitudes and beliefs, is the prediction and understanding of the way individuals behave. A model that facilitates the understanding of the ecological behaviour of ecotourists has been developed, starting from the value-belief-norm model towards the environment, to which a construct related to the theory of planned behaviour has been incorporated, in order to better understand the behaviour of ecotourists. The method used to analyse the causal model has been the structural equation modelling, and the sample used amounts to 403 ecotourists within a country characterized by the importance of tourism sector in its economic growing: Spain. The main result obtained indicates that the proposed model is useful to know the ecological behaviour of ecotourists. Specifically, it has been facilitated the knowledge of the factors that affect the intention to do ecotourism and to pay more to consume this type of activities. It could be useful for professionals of tourism sector to analyse and improve their ecological marketing strategies.
Protective Effect of Supplementation with Powdered Mulberry Leaves on Glyphosate-Induced Toxicity in Catfish (Clarias gariepinus)

| The prolonged-release of agricultural waste has led to an increase in the level of pesticides especially glyphosate which was reached in aquatic environments. Research has been carried out on catfish to detect the impacts of glyphosate and the protective effect of adding mulberry leaves powder against glyphosate on cat fish. Eighty immature catfish ( Clarias gariepinus ) were allocated into 4 groups; (G1) was maintained in the glyphosate-free water (G2) was exposed to 0.053 mg glyphosate (Glyph) /l water (1/10 96hr LC 50 ), (G3) was exposed to M. albus leaves powdered (5% ration supplementation) and (G4) was exposed to Glyph (0.053 mg/L) + M. albus (5% from ration supplementation). At day 21 of the experiment, fish were taken for biochemical and histopathological examination and to determine its residues in muscle. Biochemical results indicated an elevation in serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Urea, creatinine, and malondialdehyde (MDA) in G2 group and reduction in G3 and G4 treated groups. While, Total protein (TP), albumin, Ca, Na, Mg ions, and reduced glutathione (GSH) significantly reduced in G2 group and elevate in G3 and G4 treated group. Several histopathological lesions were observed in the brain, gills, kidney, labyrinth organ, liver, and spleen in G2 and were improved after using M. albus in treated groups. The outcome of this study indicated that M.albus has to ameliorate the negative impacts of glyphosate on catfish through its antioxidant activity and the biologically active component which lead to improving in cat fish intoxicated with gyphosate.
