EFFECT OF SOIL SOLARIZATION , BIO-AGENTS AND ORGANIC COMPOSTS ON BLAST OF PADDY

Soil solarization was accomplished covering by transparent polythene in summer season during 28 May to 30, June-2012. Control plots (without solarized) were left exposed to direct sun light. Total microflora population was counted at pre, post soil solarization and after 30 days of soil amendment. Peptone Dextrose-Rose Bengal agar (fungi) and NA (bacteria) media were used for the isolation of soil microflora from dilution 1:1000 and 1:100000. Result shows that soil microflora were greatly reduced in solarized soil as compared to unmulched soil. After the solarization, Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 2.5kg/ha, Trichoderma viride @ 2 kg/ha and Vermicompost @ 2 t/ha were amended to the soil for improvement of soil health. FYM was applied @ 10t/ha in all the plots except the NPK amended in the control plots. After 90 days of transplants results of Pseudomonas fluorescens, Trichoderma viride and bavistin found significantly reduced the disease intensity of Pyricularia oryzae as comparison with the organic composts (FYM and vermicompost) and check plot. Among the treated plots of Pseudomonas fluorescens was found significantly increased in shoot length, number of tillers, number of penicles followed by Trichoderma viride, Vermicompost, Bavistin, FYM and control plot respectively. Whereas, bavistin were found significantly increased in number of grains/penicle, yield and also significantly superior in controlling the disease with the lowest % disease intensity at 60, 75 and 90 DAT respectively.
P o S ( I C R C 2 0 1 9 ) 1 1 3 Anisotropy Searches with DAMPE

The DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) is a satellite-borne experiment successfully launched in December 2015. The main scientific goal of the mission is to perform high precision measurements of the High Energy Cosmic Ray (HECR) sky and, after more than three years of data taking, DAMPE has collected over 5.6 billion events. In recent years the anisotropy of CRs results have been presented by several collaborations with the use of ground-based and space-based experiments from energies above tens of GeV up to EeV. In this work we are present a preliminary study of the sensitivity of the DAMPE experiment to the anisotropy signal. We discuss the method used for anisotropy searches and present the preliminary results based on one year of the DAMPE data for all particle types at calorimeter energies from 100 to 500 GeV. The work includes also studies on the different angular scales.
ISSUES IN ADAPTIVE INTRUSION DETECTION

A secured network is a must for an e-commerce application to be fully utilized by users. Firewall and encryption are proven to be inadequate. Intrusion detection system (IDS) is put in place as a second line of defense. Nevertheless, the existing IDS produces a high false alarm rate. Literature has shown that investigation towards reducing false alarm rate has shifted from accurate classifier to the adaptive model of normality. The purpose of this paper is to identify and discuss the research issues in adaptive intrusion detection and to propose a model for it.
Market Power and Unites States Sectoral Textile Imports

This paper estimates US textiles import elasticities with 20 of its largest textiles exporters by utilizing cointegration methodology. The soon-to-be-implemented abolition of quotas on textiles makes the study of these import elasticities especially relevant to many developing countries particularly to those that have a significant textiles component in their exports. The study uses disaggregated data (4 digit ISIC) to separately consider seven textiles sub-sectors and calculates income and price elasticities for each one. While China appears to be in a position of significant market power in a majority of the textiles sub-sectors examined in this paper, the estimates also identify the particular sub-sectors in which the smaller textile exporters are in a position of some strength. Specifically, the carpets and rugs, and the apparels sectors are identified as those where smaller exporters have relatively more market power.
A 96-30777 ACTIVE CONTROL OF HELICOPTER BLADE STALL

This paper describes the numerical analysis of an automatic stall suppression system for helicopters. The analysis employs a finite element method and includes unsteady aerodynamic effects (dynamic stall) and a nonuniform inflow model. The stall suppression system, based on a transfer matrix approach, uses blade root actuation to suppress stall directly. The results show that stall can effectively be suppressed using higher harmonic blade root pitch at both cruise and high speed flight conditions. The control amplitude was small, less than 1 deg. In a high thrust, low speed flight condition, stall is fairly insensitive to higher harmonic inputs. In general, stall suppression does not guarantee performance improvements. The results also show the distinction between stall suppression and performance improvement with active control. When the controller aims to reduce the shaft torque, rotor performance improvement can be achieved with a small degradation in stall behavior.
Enabling Remote Hand Guidance in Video Calls Using Directional Force Illusion

In current video meetings, communicating positions and hand movements is often challenging, as the meeting participants need to rely on gestures and verbal explanations, resulting in inefficient video meetings. We propose a video meeting system that utilizes a novel directional force feedback method so that people can efficiently guide each other’s hand without the need for lengthy verbal explanations. The force feedback method uses asymmetric vibrations to create the illusion of directional pulling forces, which makes it possible to be built as a small and lightweight device. We also developed an online meeting system that allows a user to simply click a location on the remote user’s video to move their hand towards the target location.
Designing the "Front": An Overview of Profile Elements on Social Network Sites

User profile is one of the most fundamental approaches on Social Network Sites (SNS) to make an impression on others. Designing user profiles is a process of designing users’ personal "front" [6, 14]. This study investigates profile elements across 110 SNS and identifies 62 elements with two groups of attributes: manually filled by users or automatically generated by the system, providing individual or social information. We annotated the presence of elements and whether they are optional or concealable. The most common elements are Profile Image, Bio Text, Username, Location, and Link to Other Social Media. We found SNS’ proportion of system-generated elements is positively correlated with social elements. SNS can be categorized into "Real Life Mirror" and "Showcase as Need" based on the number of profile elements and can be categorized into "Resume" and "Convenient Social" by the attributes of elements. We discuss the potential use of the data and the implications for future research. This work contributes to CSCW community by offering a snapshot of update-to-date profile design with comprehensive analysis.
Estimation of Aggregate Consumption Function for Nepal: ARDL Bound Testing Approach

The relationship between aggregate consumption and its determinants is one of the oldest statistical regularities of macroeconomics. It is important for macroeconomists, policy makers and for others as well. This study aims to estimate aggregate consumption function for Nepal employing Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model (ARDL) for the period of 1975 to 2015 using real income, real exchange rate, real interest rate and inflation rate as determinants. ARDL based co-integration analysis finds the existence of long run association among the variables. Furthermore, elasticity coefficient of real income is found significantly positive but the coefficients of other variables are negative. There exists inverse relationship between real depreciation of domestic currency and real consumption in the long run, but short run shows positive relation between them. The long run as well as short run dynamics of the model are significantly stable. Hence, income is a robust determinant of aggregate consumption. Real interest rate seems to generate substitution effects on consumption, and inflation rate evokes real balance effect on the aggregate consumption of Nepal further.
An Overview of Lexicon-Based Approach For Sentiment Analysis

: Sentiment Analysis is the extraction of thoughts, attitudes and subjectivity of script or text to identify polarity i.e. positive, negative or neutral. There are three methods available for sentiment analysis, supervised, lexicon-based and hybrid approach, where the supervised method supersedes in performance from lexicon-based method and hybrid is a combination of both. The performance of supervised method is extremely reliant on on the excellence and the size of exercise data while on the other hand several lexical objects seem positive in the script of a domain while appearing negative at the same time in another domain therefore lexicon based analysis doesn’t have high accuracy yet and optimizing it is still a very interesting research topic in the domain of Sentiment Analysis. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the last updates in this field of lexicon based sentiment analysis along with their limitations and also shows our own methods’ comparison of results for binary class classification and multiclass classification in the continuation of our future work
Want more unikernels?: inflate them!

Unikernels are on the rise in the cloud. These lightweight virtual machines (VMs) specialized to a single application offer the same level of isolation as full-blown VMs, while providing performance superior to standard Linux-based VMs or even to containers. However, their inherent specialization renders memory deduplication ineffective, causing unikernels, in practice, to consume more memory than their small memory footprint would suggest. This makes them less advantageous when thousands of SaaS and/or FaaS unikernels instances have to run on the same server. In this paper we introduce a novel approach to build the next generation of networked services and lambda functions by improving unikernel's memory layout so that it is more likely to share identical pages with other unikernels deployed on the system. Our approach supports SaaS and FaaS architectures and can be used with ASLR. Our experiments show that our approach can reduce the amount of physical memory used by a set of unikernels running on the same server by as much as 3x, with next to no overhead on applications performance.
Player Segmentation with INSPECT: Revealing Systematic Behavior Differences within MMORPG and Educational Game Case Studies

Visualization tools have aided game analytics in a multitude of ways. Yet, producing customized representations that focus on specific research questions remains an open challenge for the field, as ideal sweet spots between noisy and under-representative data are almost impossible to achieve with current automated or AI-driven approaches. Following a human-in-the-loop setup, we introduce the interactive visualization tool INSPECT that applies multiple configurable noise reduction, segmentation, and contrast functions in order to highlight systematic differences or points of interest within player behavior. With respect to self-directed learning among players in complex video games and the identification of erroneous decision making in educational games, we set up two case studies with domain experts using INSPECT that ascertained and interpreted crucial player decisions that led to optimal or inexpedient behavior.
Kobe University Repository : Kernel タイトル Tit le Glutaminase 1 plays a key role in the cell growth of fibroblast-like synoviocytes in rheumatoid arthrit is 著者

Background: The recent findings of cancer-specific metabolic changes, including increased glucose and glutamine consumption, have provided new therapeutic targets for consideration. Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients exhibit several tumor cell-like characteristics; however, the role of glucose and glutamine metabolism in the aberrant proliferation of these cells is unclear. Here, we evaluated the role of these metabolic pathways in RA-FLS proliferation and in autoimmune arthritis in SKG mice. Methods: The expression of glycolysisor glutaminolysis-related enzymes was evaluated by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Western blotting, and the intracellular metabolites were evaluated by metabolomic analyses. The effects of glucose or glutamine on RA-FLS cell growth were investigated using glucoseor glutamine-free medium. Glutaminase (GLS)1 small interfering RNA (siRNA) and the GLS1 inhibitor compound 968 were used to inhibit GLS1 in RA-FLS, and compound 968 was used to study the effect of GLS1 inhibition in zymosan A-injected SKG mice. Results: GLS1 expression was increased in RA-FLS, and metabolomic analyses revealed that glutamine metabolism was increased in RA-FLS. RA-FLS proliferation was reduced under glutamine-deprived, but not glucose-deprived, conditions. Cell growth of RA-FLS was inhibited by GLS1 siRNA transfection or GLS1 inhibitor treatment. Treating RA-FLS with either interleukin-17 or platelet-derived growth factor resulted in increased GLS1 levels. Compound 968 ameliorated the autoimmune arthritis and decreased the number of Ki-67-positive synovial cells in SKG mice. Conclusions: Our results suggested that glutamine metabolism is involved in the pathogenesis of RA and that GLS1 plays an important role in regulating RA-FLS proliferation, and may be a novel therapeutic target for RA.
Insights into cargo sorting by SNX32 in neuronal and non-neuronal cells: physiological implications in neurite outgrowth

Sorting nexins (SNX) are a family of proteins containing the Phox homology domain, which shows a preferential endo-membrane association and regulates cargo sorting processes. Even with the vast amount of information unveiled systematically, the underlying mechanism of sorting remains elusive. Here, we established that SNX32, a SNX-BAR (Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs) sub-family member, is associated with SNX4 via its BAR domain. We identified A226, Q259, E256, R366 of SNX32, and Y258, S448 of SNX4 at the interface of these two SNX proteins that are important for maintaining the association. Via its PX domain, SNX32 interacts with the Transferrin receptor (TfR) and Cation Independent Mannose-6-Phosphate Receptor (CIMPR). We showed that the conserved F131 in its PX domain is important in stabilising the above interactions. Silencing of SNX32 led to a defect in intracellular trafficking of TfR and CIMPR, which could be rescued by overexpressing shRNA-resistant snx32. We also showed that both individual domains play an essential role in trafficking. Our results indicate that SNX4, SNX32 and Rab11 may participate in a common pathway regulating transferrin trafficking; however, the existence of an independent pathway for Rab11 and SNX32 could not be completely ruled out. Further, we established that the PX domain of SNX32 could bind to PI(3)P and PI(4)P, suggesting a possible explanation for its sub-cellular localization. Taken together, our study showed that SNX32 mediate the trafficking of specific cargo molecules along distinct pathway via its PX domain-directed binding to phosphoinositides and its BAR domain-mediated association with other SNX family members. Further, using SILAC-based differential proteomics of the wild type and the mutant SNX32, impaired in cargo binding, we identified Basigin (BSG), an immunoglobulin super family member, as a potential interactor of SNX32 in SHSY5Y cells. We then demonstrated that SNX32 binds to BSG through its PX domain and facilitates its trafficking to the cell surface. In Neuro-Glial cell lines, the silencing of SNX32 led to defects in neuronal differentiation. Moreover, abrogation in lactate transport in the SNX32 depleted cells led us to propose that the SNX may contribute to maintaining the neuro-glial coordination via its role in BSG trafficking and the associated Monocarboxylate transporter activity.
On the Designof PuncturedLow DensityParity CheckCodesfor VariableRateSystems

The authors face the problem of designing good LDPC codes for applications requiring variable, that is adaptive, rates. More precisely, the object of the paper is twofold. On one hand, we propose a deterministic (not random) procedure to construct good LDPC codes without constraints on the code dimension and rate. The method is based on the analysis and optimization of the local cycles length in the Tanner graph and gives the designer the chance to control complexity of the designed codes. On the other hand, we present a novel puncturing strategy which acts directly on the parity check matrix of the code, starting from the lowest rate needed, in order to allow the design of higher rate codes avoiding additional complexity of the co/decoding hardware. The efficiency of the proposed solution is tested through a number of numerical simulations. In particular, the puncturing strategy is applied for designing codes with rate variable between 0.715 and 0.906. The designed codes are used in conjunction with M -QAM constellations through a pragmatic approach that, however, yields very promising results.
A Review and Qualitative Analysis of IPv 6 and IPv 4 Interoperability Technologies

Deployment of IPv6 has been delayed even though the standard has existed for over ten years and the number of free IPv4 addresses is decreasing fast. Some obstacles in deployment are economic but also technical issues remain. The Internet cannot be converted to IPv6 overnight, thus a transition period is required during which both protocols co-exist and work together seamlessly. There is a vast amount of interoperability technologies available and this paper presents proposed solutions to operate IPv6-only network segments in cooperation with IPv4-only network segments.
Differentiation of rhizosphere fungal assemblages by host ploidy level in mixed-ploidy Larrea tridentata populations

Polyploidy—whole genome duplication—is common in plants. Studies over the last several decades have documented numerous mixed-ploidy populations. Whether arising via recurrent whole genome duplication events within a population, or from secondary contact, the persistence of mixed populations depends on the ability of the minority cytotype to overcome the negative frequency dependent effects of outcrossing with other ploidies, known as Minority Cytotype Exclusion. One mechanism of overcoming Minority Cytotype Exclusion is microbially-mediated niche differentiation (MMND), wherein cytotypes occupy different niches via interactions with different sets of microbes. Inherently cryptic, MMND is underexplored in polyploid plant populations. Here, we search for evidence of MMND in creosotebush (Larrea tridentata), a dominant desert shrub of the southwestern U.S. and northern Mexico. We sequenced fungi from rhizosphere soils of diploid, autotetraploid, and autohexaploid plants growing in two naturally-occurring mixed-cytotype populations. Within populations, we found substantial fungal assemblage overlap across host plant cytotypes. However, using indicator species analysis, we identified some fungi that are differentiated by host plant cytotype, satisfying a precondition for MMND. Future study is needed to determine the degree of niche differentiation conferred, if any, and whether the identified fungi play a role in the long-term persistence of multiple cytotypes within populations.
The Role of Some Psychological Variables in the Emotional Distress between the Couple , who live in the Slums

The present study aimed to detect the amount of direct causal effects of each of the psychological adjustment, awareness of the legitimate values and teachings concerning the marital life, sexual consent, spousal abuse, and the use of social networking on the emotional distress between spouses in slum areas in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The study sample included (580) with (320) husbands and (260) wives, and the study revealed that each of the psychological adjustment, awareness of the legitimate values and teachings of marital life, sexual consent, spousal abuse, and the use of social networks, directly affect the emotional turmoil between the couple. And the study concluded that the emotional distress has a role in the disruption of family and social construction among slum-dwellers.

DBMS-KU Interpolation for WMT19 News Translation Task

This paper presents the participation of DBMS-KU Interpolation system in WMT19 shared task, namely, Kazakh-English language pair. We examine the use of interpolation method using a different language model order. Our Interpolation system combines a direct translation with Russian as a pivot language. We use 3-gram and 5-gram language model orders to perform the language translation in this work. To reduce noise in the pivot translation process, we prune the phrase table of source-pivot and pivot-target. Our experimental results show that our Interpolation system outperforms the Baseline in terms of BLEU-cased score by +0.5 and +0.1 points in Kazakh-English and English-Kazakh, respectively. In particular, using the 5-gram language model order in our system could obtain better BLEU-cased score than utilizing the 3-gram one. Interestingly, we found that by employing the Interpolation system could reduce the perplexity score of English-Kazakh when using 3-gram language model order.
A stratagem for primary root elongation under moderate salt stress in the halophyte Schrenkiella parvula

Halophytes are salt-tolerant plants that grow in soil or waters of high salinity. Schrenkiella parvula is one of the halophyte plants that grow around Tuz (Salt) Lake, TURKEY that can survive at 600 mM NaCl. Intriguingly, S. parvula belongs to the same Brassicaceae family as the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, and its genome is 90% homologous to the Arabidopsis genome. Here, we performed proteomic analysis and physiological studies on the roots of S. parvula seedlings cultivated under a moderate salt condition at 100 mM NaCl. Surprisingly, under 100 mM NaCl conditions, the primary roots elongated much faster than under NaCl-free conditions, although up to 200 mM those were reduced. On the other hand, iso-osmotic mannitol did not promote primary root elongation, suggesting a specific response to NaCl. Epidermal cell elongation was promoted in the elongation zone, but meristem size and DNA replication were decreased. In addition, root hair formation and lateral root elongation were suppressed at moderate salinity. Compared with A. thaliana, the cell death and ROS increase of root tip meristem cells under 100 mM NaCl condition were significantly lower in S. parvula seedlings. The size and starch content of sedimentary amyloplasts/statoliths in columella cells decreased, and gravitropism of primary roots was partially reduced. Gene expression analyses showed that the expression of auxin response and biosynthesis genes IAA1, IAA2, TAA1 and YUC8 were repressed and the SOS1 gene was upregulated two-fold in roots grown under moderate salt conditions. Proteomic analysis showed that co-chaperone and activator of HSPs such as Hop2 and Aha1 domain-containing protein orthologs were upregulated. Moreover, several secondary metabolic process-related proteins, antioxidant proteins, stress response proteins and proline catabolic process-related proteins were also increased. In contrast, enzymes associated with root hair elongation and nucleotide and protein syntheses were downregulated. These changes in auxin-related physiological responses, root architecture, lower ROS signaling, and stress-related protein expression promote primary root penetration into lower-salinity deeper soils as an adaptation of S. parvula.
