Evaluation of Pseudomonas fluorescens and Trichoderma viride as Seed and Soil Treatment against Root Knot Nematode, Meloidogyne arenaria Infecting Groundnut

Studies on evaluation of biocontrol agents against Meloidogyne arenaria on groundnut under glasshouse conditions revealed that application of Pseudomonas fluorescens as seed treatment+soil application recorded significant increase in plant growth characters and groundnut pod yield compared to untreated control. Groundnut plants treated with P. fluorescens as both seed treatment+soil application recorded least number of galls/plant, egg mass/plant, eggs/egg-mass and soil population/200 g soil with corresponding reduction of 70.9, 34.4, 20.3 and 68.1 per cent, respectively, over untreated control. It was followed by P. fluorescens as soil application alone and carbofuran in reducing the root knot nematode infection in groundnut.
Looking Back to Convergence Trends and Inequality Developments in Central- and Eastern Europe: Almost Three Decades After the Transition

The paper looks at trends in Central and Eastern European countries, exploring both convergence between these countries and the centre of the EU on the one hand and comparative inequality trends within some of the central/eastern European economies on the other. The region covered includes the three Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania), the four Visegrad countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia), in addition to Slovenia, Romania and Bulgaria. For time series data the period covered stretches from the beginning of the ‘90s until the most recent available year). The aim is to answer the following questions:
Simple Sustainable Forward Guidance at the ELB∗

Forward guidance plays an important role in monetary policy analysis at the effective lower bound (ELB) for nominal interest rates. Yet in discretionary environments, forward guidance is generally assumed to lack credibility. I analyze whether discretionary policymakers may still make credible promise about future policy. I show that promises to keep the nominal rate at zero for a fixed number of periods after an ELB episode ends are sustainable if the promise is not for too many periods. However, the length of forward guidance that minimizes the present value of losses at the ELB may not be sustainable.
A pr 2 01 6 Scale-Invariant Hidden Local Symmetry , Topology Change and Dense Baryonic Matter

When scale symmetry is implemented into hidden local symmetry in low-energy strong interactions to arrive at a scale-invariant hidden local symmetric (HLS) theory, the scalar f0(500) may be interpreted as pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone (pNG) boson, i.e., dilaton, of spontaneously broken scale invariance, joining the pseudo-scalar pNG bosons π and the matter fields V = (ρ, ω) as relevant degrees of freedom. Implementing the skyrmion-half-skyrmion transition predicted at large Nc in QCD at a density roughly twice the nuclear matter density found in the crystal simulation of dense skyrmion matter, we determine the intrinsically density-dependent (IDD) “bare parameters” of the scale-invariant HLS Lagrangian matched to QCD at a matching scale ΛM . The resulting effective Lagrangian, with the parameters scaling with the density of the system, is applied to nuclear matter and dense baryonic matter relevant to massive compact stars by means of the double-decimation renormalization-group Vlowk formalism. We satisfactorily post-dict the properties of normal nuclear matter and more significantly predict the EoS of dense compact-star matter that quantitatively accounts for the presently available data coming from both the terrestrial and space laboratories. We interpret the resulting structure of compact-star matter as revealing how the combination of hidden-scale symmetry and hidden local symmetry manifests itself in compressed baryonic matter. e-mail: wgpaeng@ibs.re. kr e-mail: kuo@tonic.physics. sunysb.edu e-mail: hyunkyu@hanyang.ac. kr e-mail: mannque.rho@cea.fr
Cross-Media Usage Repertoires and Their Political Impacts: The Case of China

This study takes a repertoire-oriented approach to examining how social and traditional media usage affect political engagement in China. Building on previous studies and giving them a new direction, we examine how various social media platforms and traditional media outlets are combined in cross-media repertoires of young Chinese adults. We do this with the help of survey data collected in mainland China. Using the Step-3 approach of latent class analysis, we then consider how these repertoires can be explained by various individual and contextual factors and what impact the repertoires themselves have on various forms of political involvement. The study identifies 6 distinctive media repertoires: digitally focused, communication oriented, minimal users, moderate omnivores, voracious omnivores, and print interested. Repertoires are mainly correlated with age, education, and perceived media credibility. In China, young adults with the most omnivorous and print-oriented media repertoires display the highest levels of political trust, political interest, and online political engagement. The study also discusses the implications of these results.
Abstractive Summarization of Document using Dual Encoding Framework

Popularity of the web is increasing day by day and social media is becoming a huge source of information. It becomes difficult to analyze this enormous information quickly. Text summarization solves this problem, it minifies text such that repeated data are removed and important information is extracted and represented in the concise way which can help us to understand the information instantly. It is impossible to summarize all this information manually as it contains a huge number of unstructured information and reviews. Manual summarization is a tedious, monotonic and time consuming task. Therefore, method is needed for mining and summarizing information, reviews and produce representative summaries. To deal with this problem, an abstractive summarization of documents using an encoder decoder based approach is proposed. Abstractive Text Summarization gets the most essential content of a text corpus, compresses it to a shorter text, keeps its original meaning and maintains its semantic and grammatical correctness. For this, it uses deep learning architecture in natural language processing. It uses recurrent neural networks that connect the input and output data in encoder-decoder architecture with an added attention mechanism for better results. The proposed work is implemented with two datasets namely CNN/Dailymail and DUC 2004. It is worth mentioning that model achieves better performance than existing models, it improves result of ROUGE 1 metric to 41.75 for CNN/DailyMail and 35.12 for DUC2004.The experimental results show that the model produces a highly coherent, concise and grammatically correct summary.

The Price of Indoor Air Pollution: Evidence from Radon Maps and the Housing Market

This paper uses the housing market to examine the costs of indoor air pollution. We focus on radon, an indoor air pollutant which is the largest source of exposure to natural ionising radiation and the leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. To overcome potential confounders, we exploit a natural experiment whereby a risk map update in England induces exogenous variation in published radon risk levels. Using a repeat-sales approach, we find a significant negative relationship between changes in published radon risk levels and residential property prices of affected properties. Interestingly, we do not find that the effect of increasing or decreasing radon risk is symmetric. We also show that the update of the risk map led higher socio-economic groups (SEGs) to move away from radon affected areas, attracting lower SEG residents via lower prices. Finally, we propose and utilise a new theoretical framework to account for preference based sorting which allows us to calculate that the average willingness to pay to avoid radon risk is $3,360.
OP-BRAI200202 1..8

Cerebellar ataxia with neuropathy and bilateral vestibular areflexia syndrome (CANVAS) is a recently recognized neurodegenerative disease with onset in midto late adulthood. The genetic basis for a large proportion of Caucasian patients was recently shown to be the biallelic expansion of a pentanucleotide (AAGGG)n repeat in RFC1. Here, we describe the first instance of CANVAS genetic testing in New Zealand M aori and Cook Island M aori individuals. We show a novel, possibly population-specific CANVAS configuration (AAAGG)10-25(AAGGG)exp, which was the cause of CANVAS in all patients. There were no apparent phenotypic differences compared with European CANVAS patients. Presence of a common disease haplotype among this cohort suggests this novel repeat expansion configuration is a founder effect in this population, which may indicate that CANVAS will be especially prevalent in this group. Haplotype dating estimated the most recent common ancestor at 1430 CE. We also show the same core haplotype as previously described, supporting a single origin of the CANVAS mutation.
Difference of Ultrastructure and Photosynthetic Characteristics between Lanceolate and Broad-ovate Leaves in Populus euphratica

The two types of differently shaped leaves,lanceolate leaves and broad-ovate leaves in Populus euphatica,were surveyed for the ultrastructure,the activities of Rubisco,PEPC,Glycolate oxidase and the component of carbon stable isotope.Its was showed that the two type leaves exhibited obvious xeromorphic structure,such as well-developed epidermis with thickened cutin layer,hypodermis,stoma with substomatal chamber,mucilage cells.Both of the two type leaves did not have even vascular bundle sheath cells,the ratio of Rubisco/PEPC and the δ~(13)C value were close to that of typical C_3 plant as wheat.It showed that both type leaves possessed C_3 photosynthetic pathways.However,there are also obvious difference between the ultrastructure and the photosynthetic characteristic of the two type leaves due to the difference of microenvironmental factors between the top and the bottom of the P.euphrates crown such as irradiance,temperature,salt ion content:the broad-ovate leaves possessed more developed xeromorphic structure,contained more mitochondrions in mesophyll cells and more vesicle structures in the vacuole of mesophyll cells,had a lower photorespiration activity,a lower ratio of Rubisco/PEPC and a higher δ~(13)C value.Collectively,these result demonstrated that the broad-ovate leaves were more tolerant to drought,higher irradiance,higher temperature and salt stress.
Quantum optical feedback control for creating strong correlations in many-body systems

Light enables manipulating many-body states of matter, and atoms trapped in optical lattices is a prominent example. However, quantum properties of light are completely neglected in all quantum gas experiments. Extending methods of quantum optics to many-body physics will enable phenomena unobtainable in classical optical setups. We show how using the quantum optical feedback creates strong correlations in bosonic and fermionic systems. It balances two competing processes, originating from different fields: quantum backaction of weak optical measurement and many-body dynamics, resulting in stabilized density waves, antiferromagnetic and NOON states. Our approach is extendable to other systems promising for quantum technologies. © 2016 Optical Society of America
LEMLEM W ORKING P APER S ERIES Digitalizing Firms: Skills, Work Organization and the Adoption of New Enabling Technologies

New enabling technologies are shaping the transformation of production activities. This process of change is characterised by growing digitization, inter-connectivity and automation. The diﬀusion of new technologies is, however, very uneven, and firms display diﬀerent adoption behaviours. By using panel data on a large representative sample of Italian firms, we explore the patterns and determinants of new digital technology adoption. We build our theoretical framework on the nexus between technology, skills and the organisation of work. We then provide novel econometric evidence on the positive eﬀects of human capital and training. Among the notable results of the paper, labour flexibility does not seem to favour new technology adoption, whereas second-level collective bargaining plays a positive role in the process. Results also show heterogeneous eﬀects between large vs. small and medium-size firms, and between manufacturing and service sectors.
Development and Validation of Specific Chemistry Teaching Mode for Environmental Sustainability

The importance of improving the quality of learning in schools is more and more recognized. Now day Green Chemistry is recommended in teaching chemistry as an effort to foster students' caring attitudes towards the environment. On the other hand, improving teaching quality through a lesson study has been done a lot. This paper contributes a solution to the problem of improving the quality of chemistry teaching that fosters students' caring attitudes towards the environment. The integration of the principles of green chemistry through the application of the principles of Lesson Study learning community that allows the principles of green chemistry to be understood and applied by students in their daily lives results in a Teaching model called Green Chemistry Learning Comprehensive by Collaborative and Collegialities (GCLC2C) that has been developed and validated.
Achievement Variations of Basic Science Students Taught with Teacher-Centred, Teacher/Student-Centered and Student-Centered Instructions in Kaduna State, Nigeria

This study investigated the effects of teacher-centered, teacher/student-centered and student-centered instruction on the academic achievement of basic science students at the Junior secondary school level, in relation to class-size and gender. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest research design was used for the study which featured nine comparable groups of basic science students. Four hundred and eighty JSS II students randomly selected from nine schools in Giwa Zone, of Kaduna state formed the study sample. They were taught basic science concepts using the tree types of instruction. Performances of the nine groups were compared using their posttest mean scores. Four null hypotheses were tested using one way Analysis of Variance and t-test at a significance level of P<0.05. Integrated Science Achievement Test (ISAT) with reliability coefficients of and 0.85 was used to collect data for the study. The following findings were established from the study: (i) Students in three different class-sizes taught with student-centered instruction achieved significantly higher than those taught with teacher/student-centered and teachercentered. (ii) There was no significant difference in performance of male and female students when taught with teacher-centered and teacher/student-centered instruction. (iii) A significant difference was found in the performance of male and female students taught with student-centered instruction with the males performing better than the females. Based on the above findings, recommendations were made among which are the need to train teachers on the use of studentcentered instruction in science classrooms.
Cantor bouquets and wandering domains for a class of entire functions

In this thesis we focus on different topological structures that arise as a result of the iteration of functions in a class of sums of exponentials, along with the different Fatou components that exist for functions in this class, making particular reference to wandering domains. For many transcendental entire functions, the escaping set has the structure of a Cantor bouquet, consisting of uncountably many disjoint curves. Rippon and Stallard showed that there are many functions for which the escaping set has a new connected structure known as an infinite spider’s web. We investigate a connection between these two topological structures for functions in our class. The issue of whether an analytic function has wandering domains has long been of interest in complex dynamics. Sullivan proved in 1985 that rational maps do not have wandering domains. On the other hand, several transcendental entire functions have wandering domains. Using recent results on the relationship between Fatou components and the postsingular set, we prove that functions in a subset of our class do not have wandering domains. We also prove that for many of the functions the Julia set is the whole plane.

Mycoflora and Mycotoxin Contaminated Chicken and Fish Feeds

Information about fungi associated with food and feeds is important in assessing risk of mycotoxin contamination. Mould contamination not only causes deterioration of food and feeds, but also can adversely affect the health of humans and animals, once they may produce toxic metabolites. Moulds are capable of reducing the nutritional value of feedstuff as well as elaborating several mycotoxins. Mycotoxin-contaminated feed has adverse effects on chicken, fish and animal health and productivity. In point prevalence study feedstuff used for chicken and fish nutrition in Egypt was analyzed for fungal flora and natural incidence of selected my cotoxins. Analyzed fungal flora of chicken and fish feed samples which collected from three different localities i.e. Cairo, Qalubiya and Sharkiya governorates in Egypt yielded 885 fungal isolates. Fish feed samples was higher of total fungal colonies which was about54.6 % compared with chicken feed samples which record 45.4%. Seven fungal species belonging to four fungal genera were isolated and identified from these samples. These genera are Asperigillus (A. Flavus, A. parasiticus, A. niger and A. ochraceous), Penicillum, Fusarium and Alternaria spp. Tested of mycotoxin production resulted that, six fungal isolates associated fish feeds were found to be produce one or more mycotoxin i. e. aflatoxin(s), ochratoxin A (OTA) and fumonisin B1 (FB1),out of them five fungal isolates of A. flavus, one of A. parasiticus were found to produce aflatoxin(s), two isolates of A. ochraceous, as well as two isolates of Penicillum sp. ,were found to produce ochratoxin A (OTA) and one isolate of Fusarium sp. produce Fumonisin FB1. While, chicken feed isolates presented that, four fungal isolates of A. flavus, one isolate of A. parasiticus were found to produce aflatoxin(s) and one isolate of Penicillum sp. was found to produce ochratoxin A (OTA).
Seasonal and spatial comparisons of phytoplankton growth and mortality rates due to microzooplankton grazing in the north rn South China Sea

We conducted a comprehensive investigation on the microzooplankton herbivory effect on phytoplankton in the northern South China Sea (SCS) using the seawater dilution technique at surface and deep chlorophyll maximum (DCM) layers on two cruises (July–August of 2009 and January of 2010). We compared vertical (surface vs. DCM), spatial (onshore vs. offshore), and seasonal (summer vs. winter) differences of phytoplankton growth ( μ0) and microzooplankton grazing rates ( m). During summer, bothμ0 and m were significantly higher at the surface than at the DCM layer, which was below the mixed layer. During winter, surfaceμ0 was significantly higher than at the DCM, while m was not significantly different between the two layers, both of which were within the mixed layer. Surface μ0 was, on average, significantly higher in summer than in winter, while average surface m was not different between the two seasons. There were no cross-shelf gradients of μ0 in summer or winter surface waters. In surface waters, μ0 was not correlated with ambient nitrate concentrations, and the effect of nutrient enrichment on phytoplankton growth was not pronounced. There was a decreasing trend of m from shelf to basin surface waters in summer, but not in winter. Microzooplankton grazing effect on phytoplankton ( m/μ0) was relatively small in the summer basin waters, indicating a decoupling of microzooplankton grazing and phytoplankton growth at this time.On average, microzooplankton grazed 73 % and 65 % of the daily primary production in summer and winter, respectively.
The Short-and Medium-Run Eﬀects of Computerized VAT Invoices on Tax Revenues in China ∗ (Very Preliminary)

This paper studies the short and medium-run eﬀects of computerizing VAT invoices on tax revenues and ﬁrm behavior in China. We use a balanced panel of manufacturing ﬁrms to show that computerization increased VAT revenues. However, the short-run gains are much larger than the longer-run gains. We provide evidence to show that the change over time is consistent with ﬁrms adjusting production downwards in response to the tax increase.
