Artisanal fisheries production in the coastal zone of Itaipu, Niterói , RJ, Brazil

Artisanal fisheries in the coastal zone of Itaipu-RJ play an important role in the local market, but little is known about production and productivity of the fisheries. From April 2001 to March 2003, we monitored a total of 618 landings from the beach-seine (99), the gill nets ("corvineira" - 331, "linguadeira" - 40 and "rede alta" - 25), the hook and line (98), the squid jigging (17), and the spear fishing and trap fisheries (five and three, respectively). The total monitored production was 21866 kg and the catch per unit effort (CPUE) 35.4 kg.trip-1. Considering the number of effective fishing days and the average daily production per fishing gear, the annual production was estimated at 136687 kg (0.2% of the state's production in 2004). Predominant resources were: Micropogonias furnieri,Trichiurus lepturus, squids (Loligo spp.), clupeiform fishes (Sardinella brasiliensis, Cetengraulis edentulus, Pellona harrowerii and Harengula clupeola), Eucinostomus spp. , Cynoscion spp. , Menticirrhus spp. , Caranx crysos and Selene setapinnis. The combined analysis using hierarchical and non-hierarchical classification methods, separated four fishing gears and five species groups, based on their similarity patterns, identifying gears that most effectively capture the different fish groups. The beach-seine was less selective and most productive fishery in the summer. The "corvineira" was the second most productive fishery with higher yields in the summer and fall. Catches of "linguadeira" included rays and Paralychthys spp. , wherereas the "rede alta" caught primarily M. furnieri,Mugil spp. and sharks.
PNKLMF-Based Neural Network Control and Learning-Based HC MPPT Technique for Multiobjective Grid Integrated Solar PV Based Distributed Generating System

In this paper, a novel power normalized kernel least mean fourth algorithm based neural network (NN) control (PNKLMF-NN) technique and learning-based hill climbing (L-HC) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm are proposed for grid-integrated solar photovoltaic (PV) system. Here three-phase single-stage topology of a grid-integrated PV system is used for feeding the nonlinear/linear load at the point of common coupling. A single layer neuron structure is used for active load component (ALC) extraction from distorted load current. During ALC extraction, PNKLMF-NN control very precisely attenuates harmonics components, noise, dc offset, bias, notches, and distortions from the nonlinear current, which improves the power quality under normal as well as under abnormal conditions. This single layer PNKLMF-NN control has a very simple architecture, which reduces the computational burden and complexity. Therefore, it is easy in implementation. Moreover, proposed L-HC is the improved form of hill climbing (HC) algorithm, where inherent problems of traditional HC algorithm, such as steady-state oscillation, slow dynamic responses, and fixed step size issues, are successfully mitigated. The prime objective of proposed PNKLMF-NN control is to meet the active power requirement of the loads from generated solar PV power and excess power fed into the grid. However, when generated PV power is less than the required load power, then PNKLMF-NN control meets the load by taking extra required power from the grid. During these processes, power quality is maintained at the grid. Moreover, when solar irradiation is zero, voltage source converter (VSC) acts as distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM), which enhances the utilization factor of the system. The proposed techniques are modeled and their performances are verified experimentally on a developed prototype in adverse conditions, which test results have satisfied the objectives of the proposed system and the IEEE-519 standard.

Efficacy of fungicides-XLVI: effect of fungicidal seed treatment against heavy inoculum pressure of certain fungi causing discolouration of paddy seeds.

The fungi causing discolouration of paddy seeds were observed to cause deleterious effect on seed germination under heavy inoculum pressure. The effect was most pronounced with Pyricularia oryzae and Fusarium equiseti. Fungicidal seed treatment provided protection against these fungi resulting in distinct improvement in germination.
Evaluation of genetic stability in cryopreserved Solanum tuberosum

Cryopreservation is a technology of high importance in the storage of plant germplasm for long periods; however, the practical application of this technology for the preservation of plant materials is useful only if it does not lead to the genetic changes in the plant of interest. In the present investigation, the genetic stability of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) plantlets of the cultivars Agria and Marphona stored under cryopreservation and non-cryopreservation conditions was studied using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique. Also, flow cytometric studies were performed to detect if there were probably any changes in the level of polyploidy. Seven primer combinations were used in the AFLP studies. Agria plantlets kept under non-cryopreserved conditions were approximately of average 97% genetic similarity to those of the same cultivar stored under cryopreservation conditions. With the cultivar of Marphona, full (100%) homology was found between plantlets stored under cryopreservation and non-cryopreservation conditions. Comparative studies on the polyploidy levels of the plantlets of both cultivars conserved under two above-mentioned storage conditions indicated that cryopreservation technique did not cause any changes in polyploidy levels.
Salespeople Stress and How Should They Cope With It To Avoid the Burnout

This paper develops a theoretical model that focuses on the extent to which coping may reduce boundary-spanning employee burnout. Based on data collected from 512 salespeople in the US, I conclude that those sales people that use right form of coping will end up reducing burnout. Burnout is known to cause a negative impact on a company, so if the determinants are realized then managers and employees can one day learn to effectively cope and maybe even prevent this dangerous cancer from spreading throughout the organization. My model reveals that coping has a major influence in reducing burnout in sales people. A great way to deal with these negative outcomes of sales job is to cope with the stress on a regular basis. Salespeople who take the positive approach or also called problem focused approach tend to deal with the stress in much better form; they attack the root cause of it and tend to have less effect of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. While those who take the negative approach or emotion focused approach, tend to show a negative effect of stress and display higher incidence of exhaustion and depersonalization. Employees of the companies and especially managers need to be educated on these topics so that when problems arise they will be prepared to handle them in a manner that will maximize the organization’s productivity and reduce stress. If the problems is caught and tackled early on, then employees would not have to spend their time and energy on negatively coping with these stressful situations. The employees should be taught to cope with stress in a positive manner and should be taught to take problem-focused approach to coping.
Improved Prediction of Malt Fermentability by Measurement of the Diastatic Power Enzymes β-Amylase, α-Amylase, and Limit Dextrinase: I. Survey of the Levels of Diastatic Power Enzymes in Commercial Malts1

In this study, more than 1,000 commercial malting samples from Australia and elsewhere, primarily malted in 2005 and 2006, were analyzed for their levels of the diastatic power (DP) enzymes α-amylase, β-amylase, and limit dextrinase. The survey showed that there was more variation within a variety for DP and DP enzymes than between varieties. The data were evaluated, and a micromalting experiment was conducted to ascertain whether the wide range of malt qualities observed was the result of customer specifications, environmental conditions under which the barley was grown, variety, or malting practices. The evaluation of malt used by two breweries over the course of a year suggested that the conventional brewery customer specifications for variety, Kolbach index, and DP are somewhat successful in constraining potential fermentability variation. The conditions under which barley for malting was grown were also plausible factors that could explain the observed differences in DP enzyme levels. However, micromalting barley sourced from different regions showed that malting conditions had a strong influence on the malt levels of α-amylase and limit dextrinase. When combined, the observations and conclusions of this study further support our previous recommendations that the routine measurement of individual DP enzymes would most likely improve the consistency and predictability of the potential fermentability of malts supplied to brewers.
Rates of piscivory predict pharyngeal jaw morphology in a piscivorous lineage of cichlid fishes

The pharyngeal jaw apparatus is a key innovation hypothesised to increase foraging efficiency and facilitate utilisation of novel resources among teleost fishes. Here, we tested whether dietary characteristics could predict pharyngeal jaw morphology among eight species of Neotropical Crenicichla. Additionally, we tested the hypothesis that pharyngeal jaws may impose a functional constraint on piscivory via pharyngeal gape. We quantified the shape of the lower pharyngeal jaw (LPJ) using linear and geometric morphometrics and quantified diet using the relative volumetric proportions of prey items. We used principal component analysis to describe major axes of variation in LPJ shape and dietary patterns. The major axis of dietary variation significantly predicted LPJ morphology, which was driven by a significant relationship between LPJ shape and rates of piscivory. We also found that rates of piscivory predicted size-corrected LPJ depth. Size-corrected pharyngeal gape also significantly predicted rates of piscivory such that pharyngeal jaws may constrain piscivory by limiting pharyngeal gape. Strong form-to-function linkage between pharyngeal morphology and trophic patterns suggests an adaptive quality of the pharyngeal apparatus but may also impose functional constraints when consumers must switch prey or when prey availability is temporally or spatially unpredictable.
Approximate Eigenvalues of Periodic Sturm-Liouville Problems Using Differential Quadrature Method

Computation of eigenvalues of regular Sturm-Liouville problems with periodic boundary conditions is considered. It is shown through numerical illustrations that both polynomial-based differential quadrature (PDQ) and Fourier expansion-based differential quadrature (FDQ) methods can be successfully used to accurately predict the first kth (k = 1, 2, 3, · · ·) eigenvalues of the problem using (at least) 2k mesh points in the computational domain. The errors in computed solutions are compared with other published results in the literature for the numerical illustrations considered in this work.

Low-Current-Density Magnetic Tunnel Junctions for STT-RAM Application Using MgO<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$_{{x}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>N<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$_{\text{1}-{x}}\,\,({x}=\text{0.57}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>) Tunnel Barrier

High switching speed, endurance, and lowcurrent-based perpendicular magnetic tunnel junction (p-MTJ) memory is attracting wide interest as a key promising candidate for next-generation spintronic memory technology. p-MTJ-based spin-transfer torque RAM (STT-RAM) has been extensively investigated, and despite the promise, there is concern about the high switching current density and low stability with regard to scaling. In this work, the current controllability of p-MTJ in iron (Fe)-enriched Co20Fe60B20 with a newly designed MgOxN1−x tunnel layer is systematically investigated, with the expectation that the introduction of N minimizes the oxidation of Fe to improve the performance of the device. A facile, plasma-basedoxynitridation (MgOx= 0.57N1−x=0.43) of MgO through RF-sputter deposition serves as a reliable procedure to establish a tunnel barrier for an MTJ structure fabricated with ∼300-nm diameter and pinned with synthetic antiferromagnetic (SAF) [Co/Pt]n multilayer stack. Current-controlled tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) up to ∼65% was observed at room temperature (RT) with ultralow switching current density (Jc) of 136 ± 17 kA/cm2. TMR along with tunnel conductance (g(V )) was measured to be highly stable in the read-bias regime (−200 to +200 mV) for MgOxN1−x as compared to the reported MgO barrier. The analogous MgOxN1−x-based MTJ structures were modeled using the nonequilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) with appropriate tunnel barrier parameters and incorporating modulated barrier height as compared with the MgO barrier. The current–voltage characteristics of the modeled device showed close agreement with experimental data indicating high spin current. Based on the field-induced magnetization analysis, the macro-magnetic reversal analysis suggests the free-layer switching duration of ∼3 ns. These observations show the strong candidature of MgOxN1−x (x = 0.57) MTJs for STT-RAM device application.

Corporate Governance: A Summary Review on Different Theory Approaches

Corporate regulation and governance must be targeted at curbing the delinquent activities of company directors. This meant an examination of the functioning of the boards of directors and brought the issue ‘corporate governance’ into a hot topic. In this study, various theories of firm relating to corporate governance are examined. Different legal system towards the implementation on corporate governance is evaluated. The protection of minority interests which regulated by the rule taken from the judgement in the case of Foss vs. Harbottle and under the derivation action are also examined. Globalization is bringing a new topic to the corporate governance arena. Corporations are no longer solely subject to the prioritised performance criteria of their country of origin and registration. State officers, regulators, stock exchanges, professional bodies and even institutional investors are driving development towards globalised capital markets, and as a consequence, also working in the direction of homogenizing corporate governance standards. After all, we need to take a balance among the amount of regulations, the cost of implementation and the social responsibilities into consideration. The current corporate governance agenda should include pro-active measures on how to enhance accountability.
The evolutionally conserved activity of Dapper2 in antagonizing TGF‐ß signaling

Dapper1 and Dapper2, two divergent members of the Dapper family, have been suggested to modulate Wnt and TGF‐ß/Nodal signaling in Xenopus and zebrafish. To get a better understanding of Dapper function in mammals, we have cloned the mouse or‐tholog of zebrafish Dapper2, mDpr2 and investigated its function in regulating TGF‐ß signaling activity. Here, we showed that, like zebrafish Dapper2, overexpression of mDpr2 inhibited the TGF‐ß‐induced expression of the Smad‐responsive reporters and targeted TGF‐ß type I receptor ALK5 for degradation in mammalian cells. Overexpression of mDpr2 in the zebrafish embryos led to a decrease in expression of the meso‐derm marker no tail and goosecoid at the shield stage and eye fusion later, implying that mDpr2 may have an intrinsic in vivo activity similar to fish Dapper2 activity. The expression of mDpr2 was detected throughout the epiblast around the onset of gastrulation and in somites, the neural tube and gut at later stages in mouse embryos, implying a role in early embryonic development. Our data indicate that the function of Dpr2 as a negative regulator of the TGF‐ß/Nodal signal pathway is evolutionally conserved, at least in part, in fish and mammals. —Su, Y. , Zhang, L. , Gao, X. , Meng, F. , Wen, J., Zhou, H. , Meng, A. , Chen, Y. ‐G.

Equilibrium analysis of an immersed rigid leaflet by the virtual element method

We study, both theoretically and numerically, the equilibrium of a hinged rigid leaflet with an attached rotational spring, immersed in a stationary incompressible fluid within a rigid channel. Through a careful investigation of the properties of the domain functional describing the angular momentum exerted by the fluid on the leaflet (which depends on both the leaflet angular position and its thickness), we identify sufficient conditions on the spring stiffness function for the existence (and uniqueness) of equilibrium positions. This study resorts to techniques from shape differential calculus. We propose a numerical technique that exploits the mesh flexibility of the Virtual Element Method (VEM). A (polygonal) computational mesh is generated by cutting a fixed background grid with the leaflet geometry, and the problem is then solved with stable VEM Stokes elements of degrees [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] combined with a bisection algorithm. We prove quasi-optimal error estimates and present a large array of numerical experiments to document the accuracy and robustness with respect to degenerate geometry of the proposed methodology.

 Tensors of Neutral and Charged Excitons in Single Quantum Dots by High-Resolution Photocurrent Spectroscopy

We report a high-resolution photocurrent (PC) spectroscopy of a single self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dot (QD) embedded in an n-i-Schottky device with an applied vector magnetic field. The PC spectra of positively charged exciton (X$^+$) and neutral exciton (X$^0$) are obtained by two-color resonant excitation. With an applied magnetic field in Voigt geometry, the double $\Lambda$ energy level structure of X$^+$ and the dark states of X$^0$ are observed in PC spectra clearly. In Faraday geometry, the PC amplitude of X$^+$ decreases and then quenches with the increasing of the magnetic field, which provides a new way to determine the relative sign of the electron and the hole g-factors. With an applied vector magnetic field, the electron and the hole g-factor tensors of X$^+$ and X$^0$ are obtained. The anisotropy of the hole g-factors of both X$^+$ and X$^0$ is larger than that of the electron.
