PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF AQUACROP IN SIMULATING POTATO YIELD UNDER VARYING WATER AVAILABILITY CONDITIONS

Potato is one of the most important crops known to civilization. In terms of global production, potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the fourth most important food crop after maize, rice and wheat. The current production of 306 million tonne represents a modest increase worldwide of 15.5% since the early 1960s. Such global statistics, however, mask the much greater expansion of potato production that has taken place in developing countries versus developed countries during the past 40 years. Much of the increase in potato production in developing countries has occurred in Asia, most notably in China and India. Although yields have improved in both countries, the increase in production can be attributed mainly to a continuous expansion of area planted to potato (FAOSTAT, October 2001). Potato has emerged as an important food crop on the Indo-Gangetic plains on India following an expansion in irrigation infrastructure and the construction of large cold-storage facilities for storing potato before sale and as a seed crop during summer (Bardhan Roy et al., 1999). Whereas potato is grown as a cool, dry-season (winter) irrigated crop on the Indo-Gangetic plains, in China it is grown mostly under rain-fed conditions during summer. The average yield of 15.9 t/ha currently estimated at the global level is much below the yields of 30–50 t/ha commonly obtained across a range of environments and management systems, so it would seem that there is considerable scope for improvement (Allen and Scott, 1992). Critical to achieving improved yields will be access to an adequate water supply, including more efficient use of all available water in both irrigated and rain-fed systems.
Assessment of the Anophelinae blood seeking bionomic and pyrethroids resistance of local malaria vectors in the forest region of Southern Cameroon

To assess the anophelinae blood seeking bionomic and susceptibility status to pyrethroids of local malaria vectors in the forest region of southern-Cameroon, entomological surveillance, detection of Plasmodium infection and susceptibility to permethrin and deltamethrine was done using specific protocol. Of a total of 2,091 mosquitoes collected, 543 (25.97%) belong to anophelinae species. Malaria vectors collected included An. gambiaes. L. , An. moucheti, An. marshallii, An. ziemanni, An. paludis, An. coustani and An. nili. Anopheline trapped using WET varied from 1.31 anophelines/trap in Nyabessan to 2.87 anophelines/trap in Olama. The densities of mosquitoes collected using CDC-LT were 3.08 (indoor) and 4.18 (outdoor) mosquitoes/trap/night in Olama whereas they were 13.44 (indoor) and 7.84 (outdoor) mosquitoes/trap/night in Nyabessan. Of the 392 anophelines screened using ELISA, 2 (0.51%) were recorded infected by Plasmodium falciparum. Several species including An. gambiaesl, An. moucheti and An. nili were found resistant or highly tolerant to permethrin and/or deltamethrin. CDC-LT and WET are not sensitive tools for monitoring mosquito populations in the forest region. The study also suggested increase tolerance of several local anopheline species to pyrethroids. These information need further consideration while designing vector control interventions in theses settings.
The effects of two fish predators on Wood Frog (Lithobates sylvaticus) tadpoles in a subarctic wetland: Hudson Bay Lowlands, Canada

Fish can have strong predatory impacts on aquatic food webs. Indeed, fish are known to have strong effects on amphibians, with some species being excluded from communities where fish are present. Most research with amphibians and fish has focused on lower latitudes and very little is known of amphibian-fish interactions at higher latitudes. Therefore, we conducted an enclosure experiment in a subarctic natural wetland to examine the predatory effects of two species of fish, brook sticklebacks (Culaea inconstans (Cuvier, 1829)) and ninespine sticklebacks (Pungitius pungitius (L., 1758)), on the survival and growth of Wood Frogs (Lithobates sylvaticus (LeConte, 1825)). We found no significant difference in survival and size at metamorphosis among the two fish species treatments and fish-free treatments. We found that individuals from fish-free treatments metamor- phosed earlier than those from either fish species present treatment. Our work suggests that stickleback fish predation may not have a major impact on Wood Frog tadpole survival and growth in a subarctic wetland. Sticklebacks may still have an impact on earlier developmental stages of Wood Frogs. This work begins to fill an important gap in potential factors that may impact larval amphibian survival and growth at higher latitudes.
SVM License Plate Recognition Method Based on PSO Algorithm

In order to quickly recognize the characters on the license plate and improve the efficiency and recognition rate of the traditional SVM algorithm on license plate character recognition, an improved SVM license plate recognition method based on particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed. This method combined with OpenCV computer vision library, improved SVM algorithm by Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, and combined with color features to complete license plate recognition. The experimental results show that the improved SVM algorithm of PSO makes the system have faster recognition speed and higher efficiency. Compared with the 86.1% recognition rate of the traditional SVM algorithm, the improved recognition rate reaches 93.5%.
ANTIMICROBIAL, ANTIOXIDANT AND ACARICIDAL PROPERTIES OF TEA TREE (Melaleuca alternifolia)

Aim of this paper is to show antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant and acaricidal properties of tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia). Tea tree exhibits wide spectrum of antimicrobial activity. Its mode of action against the Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli, the Grampositive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, and the yeast Candida albicans has been investigated using a range of different methods. As antimicrobial, tea tree possess high inhibitory antifungal activity because of its components such as terpinen-4-ol, α-terpineol, linalool, α-pinene, βpinene, and β-myrcene followed by 1,8-cineole. Bioactive compounds such as α-terpinene, αterpinolene, and γ-terpinene shows high antioxidant activity of tea tree. Also, tea tree with its components are known to possess bacteriostatic and germicidal properties and are used to cure infections of the skin and mucous membranes such as boils, abscesses and onychomycosis caused by Candida. Their apparent insecticidal and acaricidal properties have to date been tested on some human ectoparasites such as head lice and Sarcoptes scabiei, var. hominis, and in recent time tea tree extracts were used in research for controlling ticks (Ixodes ricinus) that are efficient vectors of pathogens.
THE STUDY OF AGRICULTURAL MECHANIZATION INDICATORS IN EASTERN LIBYA

This investigation was carried out at Elmarj region eastern Libya to study the situation of mechanization and to determine degree, level, index of agricultural mechanization and cost analysis. The cultivation area, number of tractors and its power, machines and labors number, wheat crop yield, degree level, and index of mechanization were identified. Data showed that the average level of mechanization is equal to 0.53 kW/ha and the mechanical support for production is 9.63 kW/labor. While, the mechanization degree recorded 2.40 kW h/ha according to labor power. Similarly, mechanization degree of all activity found as 189.32 kW h/ha according to drawbar power. General agricultural operations for mechanization index was 43.56 %. The total calculated costs for tillage, seeding and harvesting operations were 19.14, 19.36 and 71.07 D/h, respectively. Also, the total calculated costs for all operations in the study region was 108.68 D/ha. The producing cost of one ton of wheat grain and straw under region study was 32.44 and 26.51 D/ton respectively.

Molecular epidemiology and viral load analysis of hepatitis C virus genotypes from Sindh, Pakistan

The present study was aimed to assess the molecular epidemiology of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) genotypes and viral load (VL) of HCV infected patients. A total of 261 anti-HCV positive patients were enrolled for VL analysis using COBAS AmpliPrep/COBAS TaqMan HCV and Abbott Real Time HCV Genotype II Assay Kit to determine the genotypes. The data demonstrated that 60.15% (n=157) samples were from females and 39.85% (n=104) from male patients. Serum markers such as Bilirubin, SGPT, PT, APTT, and α-fetoproteins were analyzed by commercial kits and Cobas-C 501, Sysmex Ca500 and Cobas-C 601 automatic analyzers as per manufacturer’s guidelines. All patients were above 15 years age and their mean age was 39 years. Male to female ratio was 0.66% (104/157). Age-wise ddistribution revealed that 31-45 years age group comprised majority of the patients, whereas lowest number belonged to age group 61 and above. HCV genotyping data revealed five different genotypes/subtypes. Genotype 3a was most frequent accounting 76.24% (n=199) followed by Genotype 1a (2.29%), 1b (2.68%), 2a (4.98%). Moreover, 13.79% (n=36) samples revealed untypable genotype. Subtype 1b had highest mean VL of 6.84 log10 IU/ml among all other genotypes. The data of serum markers analysis revealed a slight fluctuation but appeared under the normal range. However, Bilirubin was slightly lower in Genotype 1a as compared with other genotypes while elevated α-fetoprotein was found in patients infected with untypable genotypes. In summary, Genotype 3a was predominant genotype throughout Sindh and subtype 1b had highest viral load compared with subtypes 3a and 2a.

It is an approach to determine two or more methodologies collation. The fundamental commitment of this paper is to experiment whether combined use of feature Selection and existing classification methodologies can yield better accuracy.
Lactational performance of crossbred dairy cows fed on complete feed block and total mixed ration

The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of feeding complete feed block (CFB) and total mixed ration (TMR) on lactational performance of crossbred cows. Eighteen crossbred cows of similar lactation and milk yield were randomly divided into three groups of six animals each. Animals in group T0 were given concentrate and roughage separately. In T1 and T2 groups, animals were fed CFB and TMR, respectively. The body weight (kg), dry matter intake (g/ kg W 0.75) and total digestible nutrient intake (kg/day) were comparable among the treatments. Intake of crude protein (kg/day), crude protein (g/ kg W 0.75) and neutral detergent fibre (kg/day) were higher (P
Running head: EMOTION GOALS IN BORDERLINE PERSONALITY How Do I Want to Feel? The Link between Emotion Goals and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation in Borderline Personality Disorder

Objectives: appropriate contextualized emotion goals (i.e., desired emotional end-points that facilitate goal attainment) are fundamental to emotion regulation, as they may determine the direction of regulation efforts. Given that difficulties in emotion regulation is prevalent in borderline personality disorder (BPD), we explored if BPD traits (Study 1) and BPD diagnosis (Study 2) presented specific contextualized emotion goals, and whether these emotion goals may be linked to difficulties in emotion regulation. Methods: In Study 1, 358 individuals were recruited via Amazon Mechanical Turk and assessed on the presence of borderline traits, emotion regulation ability, general and contextualized emotional goals. In Study 2, these measures were employed in a sample of 35 people with BPD and 35 matched controls who were also assessed on their current mood state and screened for Axis I and II disorders of the DSM-IV. Results: Study 1 showed that emotion dysregulation was positively predicted by borderline traits and contextualized emotion goals that impair goal attainment (i.e., greater preference for anger for collaboration and happiness for confrontation). Findings of Study 2 also showed that a higher preference for happiness for confrontation was linked to higher emotion dysregulation in both individuals with BPD and controls. Furthermore, individuals with BPD reported a lower preference for happiness for collaboration than controls. Conclusions: these results support the importance of looking at emotion goals and its link with emotion dysregulation. Interventions targeting maladaptive contextualized goals may represent an important therapeutic window to enhance emotion regulation. EMOTION GOALS IN BORDERLINE PERSONALITY 3
Evaluation of Process Variables Influence over Cellulose Extraction from Vegetable Waste using Response Surface Methodology

The use of vegetable wastes as raw material for cellulose fibers production has revealed to be an attractive alternative to residue’s valorization and reduction of environmental impact. Canned heart palms production (Archontophoenix alexandrae) in Brazil generates a large amount of wastes which could be a source of cellulose. With the aim to get a pulp extraction method adjusted to the canned heart palms processes’ wastes, the objective in this paper is to develop a Response Surface Methodology (RSM) to evaluate the influence of the process variables over the cellulose pulp characteristics. Response variables selected for experimental design included the degree of delignification, capability and speed of water absorption, and fiber density. The pulp cellulose absorption characteristics were defined from specifications for use of it in hygiene products as diapers, for instance. Statistical tools were used to determine the influences of controlled variables over the response variables through the formulation of n-dimensional equations and surfaces, which allowed the optimization of the interest variables. The results have indicated that the pulps obtained from the processes proposed have not reached the quality characteristics required for the use intended. The values for the absorption variables showed to be lower than those established in the research hypotheses, but the RSM essays have established basis for further experiments accomplishment.
Optimal medium for watercress (Alternanthera sp.) micropropagation

The objective of the present study was to find the optimal conditions for micropropagation of Alternanthera sp. The first experiment aimed to find the optimal sterilization of lateral bud meristems for in vitro culture. The results revealed that the best sterilization technique is to clean lateral bud meristem by bending shoot and dipping in 70% ethanol for 1 min. These shoots were then removed and immersed in 3% sodium hypochlorite solution for 10 min. This sterilization technique provided the highest survival percentage of 95% and the best microorganism removal. The second experiment aimed to determine the effects of the plant growth regulators benzyladenine (BA) on shoot proliferation. The shoot induction of sterile lateral bud meristems of Alternanthera sp. was then carried out in Murashige and Skoog (MS) media supplemented with benzyladenine (BA) at five different concentrations (0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 mg/l) under 25±2 °C and light condition for 4 weeks. It was found that MS media supplemented with 3 mg/l BA induced the optimal growth and development of shoots. This condition provided the highest root induction and the significant average shoot of 12.88±0.51 shoots/explant (p<0.05). The results from the present study could be the basic information for producing aquatic plants that have economic value and genetic conservation. In additions, it may be useful for biological activity tests or provide the possibility for callus induction for further somatic embryo culture technology.
Multiple intertidal bars on beaches: A review

Ridge and runnel features were originally described by King and WiIliams (1949) from observations at Blackpool beach (U.K.) and laboratory experiments. They were characterised as intertidal, shore-parallel sandbars (ridges), commonly 2–6 bars in total, and disconnected from each other by troughs (runnels). The nomenclature ‘ridge and runnel’ was, however, also used by Hayes (1967) to describe multiple-barred beaches but referring to subtidal bars. The more specific term ‘Multiple Inter-Tidal Bars’ (MITB) was subsequently adopted for intertidal beaches exhibiting successive shore-parallel sandbars. To date, a detailed understanding of the formation of MITB has remained elusive and their precise definition is still unclear. It has been suggested that MITB features are the result of both swash and surf zone processes acting on the intertidal beach profile. These processes are involved in the formation, the long-term persistence, and behaviour of MITB. Despite the long-term persistence of MITB systems they are dynamic at short timescales. Ridge crest positions are regularly modified over each tidal cycle by successive surf and swash processes. At seasonal scales, ridges may undergo erosion and cross-shore migration under high energy conditions (winter) while ridges are well developed during summers. Via a meta-analysis of 93 separate published works at 67 sites globally, we define MITB, characterise their morphodynamics and assess their global distribution. Our study shows that the distribution of MITB is a function of thresholds in beach slope (< 0.02), tidal range (3–10 m), and wave period (3–8 s). They are developed at sites with sufficient sediment supply, limited wind and wave fetch, mesoto macrotidal (> 3 m) and on low gradient (wide) intertidal beach slopes.
North American Breeding Bird Survey status and trend estimates to inform a wide-range of conservation needs, using a flexible Bayesian hierarchical generalized additive model

The status and trend estimates derived from the North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS), are critical sources of information for bird conservation. However, the estimates are partly dependent on the statistical model used. Therefore, multiple models are useful because not all of the varied uses of these estimates (e.g. inferences about long-term change, annual fluctuations, population cycles, recovery of once declining populations) are supported equally well by a single statistical model. Here we describe Bayesian hierarchical generalized additive models (GAM) for the BBS, which share information on the pattern of population change across a species’ range. We demonstrate the models and their benefits using data a selection of species; and we run a full cross-validation of the GAMs against two other models to compare predictive fit. The GAMs have better predictive fit than the standard model for all species studied here, and comparable predictive fit to an alternative first difference model. In addition, one version of the GAM described here (GAMYE) estimates a population trajectory that can be decomposed into a smooth component and the annual fluctuations around that smooth. This decomposition allows trend estimates based only on the smooth component, which are more stable between years and are therefore particularly useful for trend-based status assessments, such as those by the IUCN. It also allows for the easy customization of the model to incorporate covariates that influence the smooth component separately from those that influence annual fluctuations (e.g., climate cycles vs annual precipitation). For these reasons and more, this GAMYE model is a particularly useful model for the BBS-based status and trend estimates. LAY SUMMARY The status and trend estimates derived from the North American Breeding Bird Survey are critical sources of information for bird conservation, but they are partly dependent on the statistical model used. We describe a model to estimate population status and trends from the North American Breeding Bird Survey data, using a Bayesian hierarchical generalized additive mixed-model that allows for flexible population trajectories and shares information on population change across a species’ range. The model generates estimates that are broadly useful for a wide range of common conservation applications, such as IUCN status assessments based on trends or changes in the rates of decline for species of concern; and the estimates have better or similar predictive accuracy to other models. , and
