YIELDING ABILITY OF AROMATIC RICE UNDER STACKING AND NON-STACKING CONDITIONS WITH DIFFERENT NITROGEN FERTILIZATION

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of nitrogen fertilizer on yielding ability of indigenous aromatic rice cultivars under stacking and non-stacking conditions. Rice cultivars were grown during Aman season, 2002. There were four cultivars, namely, Shakkorkhora, Chinigura, Kalijira and Kataribhog, each with three levels of nitrogen fertilizer (0, 60 and 120 kg N ha -1 ). At the time of heading the experimental plots were equally divided into two parts. The crop in the half of the plot was left on the fate of the nature and that in the other half of the plot was mechanically supported by stacking to prevent lodging. Under stacking condition with the application of 60 Kg N ha -1 the grain yields increased by 12%, 23%, 29% and 18% in Shakkorkhora, Chinigura, Kalijira and Kataribhog, respectively compared to control. With stacking yield was increased by 0.6% in Shakkorkhora, 25% in Chinigura, 18% in Kalijira and 11% in Kataribhog at 60 kg N ha -1 and by 18% in Shakkorkhora, 27% in Chinigura, 35% in Kalijira and 80% in Kataribhog at 120 kg N ha -1 . The grain yield increase under stacking condition was supported by the increase in the number of filled spikelets per panicle, 1000-grain weight and decrease in sterility. Under stacking condition even at high level of nitrogen (120 kg N ha -1 ) the number of filled grain per panicle and 1000-grain weight increased remarkably. The highest grain yield was observed in plants with 60 kg N ha -1 under non-stacking condition. Stacking increased grain yield remarkably. Kataribhog with 120 kg N ha -1 produced 3.7 t ha -1 grain yield when provided artificial stacking, which was 2 t ha -1 under non-stacking condition. Under stacking condition, the cultivars Shakkorkhora, Kalijira and Kataribhog showed their highest yielding ability at 120 kg N ha -1
Flow Characterization of Viscoelastic Fluids around Square Obstacle

This study focuses on the computational implementation of structured non-uniform finite volume method for the 2-D laminar flow of viscoelastic fluid past a square section of cylinder in a confined channel with a blockage ratio 1/4 for Re = 10-4, 5, 10 and 20. Oldroyd-B model (constant viscosity with elasticity) and the PTT model (shear-thinning with elasticity) are the constitutive models considered. In this study effects of the elasticity and inertia on the drag coefficients and stress fields around the square cylinder are obtained and discussed in detail. With an increase elasticity, drag coefficients get smaller due to stronger shear thinning effects for PTT fluid, however, the drag coefficients show slightly enhancement for the Oldroyd-B fluid.
Small-diameter dental implants: An adjunct for retention, stability, and comfort for the edentulous patient

Aim Studies have shown that mandibular implant overdentures significantly increase satisfaction and quality of life of edentulous elders. Improved chewing ability appears to have a positive impact on nutritional state. Materials and methods Forty edentulous subjects received four permucosal mini-implants for overdentures in the interforamina region of the mandible. Almost all participants were still satisfied with their overdentures. Participant satisfaction concerning retention and stability of the mandibular overdenture was assessed. A micro invasive technique was adopted, without open flap and performed in one chirurgical step; this technique can be used also in the so-called “highrisk” patients (anticoagulant terapy, diabetes, etc). r esults and conclusion The results suggest that a mandibular overdenture retained by 4 mini-implants may be the best treatment strategy for edentulous people with atrophic ridges. The use of mini-implants is in many cases a good clinical alternative to the use of larger diameter implants, in that they enable to reduce surgical time, bleeding, postoperative discomfort and healing time.
Development of a Predictive Display Interface to assist control of a Robot Arm in a Telepresence System

Operation and maintenance O&M is an expensive but necessary part of almost any industrial endeavor. This becomes even more expensive when the object in need of O&M is located in remote places. This will be the case if you have a wind farm at sea. To get the cost of this down research into using a robot or possibly a robotic arm to do remote O&M has been initiated. This Thesis deals with some of the challenges when it comes to remote presence or telepresence and the use of a robotic arm. Telepresence systems have some unique challenges when it comes to control. The time delay and limits when it comes to field of view has led many to advocate a solution called a Predictive display. Predictive displays lets the user see an immediate response to control input. It does this by simulating the system that is being controlled and then in some way synthesize an image that would show a simulated response. This Thesis is concerned with the development of such a display. The solution proposed here leads to the use of a real time simulator of a robotic arm. In addition to this I have worked with a possible solution for synthesizing the view of the robot by using a game engine to render the robot and its environment. The resulting application as far as the predictive display is concerned leads me to believe that the tools I have used can be used for the purposes described in this thesis. The predictive display method seams like the best alternative when it comes to providing the operator with information about the robot's surroundings. And thus increasing the operator's situational awareness. The report shows how the application can be created and provides you with information on how the solution can be extended. Further, the application created should make it possible to carry out further experiments and help in future developments within this project.
The Well-Being of Immigrant Children and Parents in Canada

In this paper, we use microdata from the Canada Community Health Survey (CCHS) to document the fact that both immigrant children and immigrant parents have lower self-reported life satisfaction and are less likely to feel a strong sense of „belonging‟ to their local communities than their Canadian-born peers. A novel aspect of our work is that we provide direct comparisons of both levels and correlates of well-being for parents and children, since our data asks children (aged 12 to 17) and adults the same survey questions. We find, first, that immigrant status has a larger, negative, association with well-being for parents than for children. And, although income is an important correlate of life satisfaction for both parents and children, the association is larger for parents. A troubling finding is that there is no apparent improvement in life satisfaction for immigrant parents or children who have lived longer in Canada. Given European experiences with alienation among immigrant youth, we also examine „belonging to the community‟ as another aspect of well-being; lower levels of belonging are reported by immigrant youth, especially girls, than by their Canadian peers. Indeed, for girls, immigrant status is one of the largest (negative) correlates of belonging identified. The same is true for parents, but the size of the association is smaller and appears to decline over time.
Trajectory Adjustment of Mobile Laser Scan Data in GPS Denied Environments

Abstract. Mobile mapping often occurs in environments with poor or no GNSS signal reception (tunnels, urban canons, canopy …). Most mobile scanning systems are equipped with tactical grade inertial systems, GNSS outages longer than 30-60 seconds may lead to a rapid decrease in absolute positioning accuracy that might be below the client's expectations. In order to guarantee sufficient positioning accuracy even in such environments the data must be corrected. This can either happen by readjusting the final point cloud using control points (3D translations) or by directly correcting the trajectory by adding external position updates. The approach presented in this paper consists in detecting targets (either existing or placed before measurement) that can easily be identified in the point cloud and that have been measured independently. By identifying the 3D point closest to the target's center, computing the coordinate difference to the corresponding GCP and retrieving its GNSS-timestamp and the internal scanner coordinates, an external position update at a given time can be computed. This procedure has proven its efficiency in several projects including scanning tunnels up to 5km length, where the positional error (in 3D) of the resulting point cloud could be reduced from 5m (in the middle of the tunnel) down to better than 5cm using GCPS only every 400m.
A frequency analysis of cone characteristics for the different stages of keratoconus

Background: The stages of keratoconus can be classified according to the degree of corneal conicity as either early or advanced, or morphologically by the shape of the cone. Knowledge of the different cone characteristics for the different stages of keratoconus may assist practitioners in diagnosing and managing these patients. Aim: To describe the cone characteristics for the different stages of keratoconus. Methods: In this retrospective study, a sample of 190 eyes from 106 cases of previously diagnosed keratoconic patients was analysed. The stage of keratoconus and cone characteristics, namely: cone location, cone decentration, morphology, and topographical patterns were analysed using an Oculus 3M corneal topographer. Results: Our study revealed that for all stages of keratoconus centrally located cones were the most frequent, with corneal apical decentration between 0 mm and 2 mm. Frequency analysis revealed that nipple cones were most frequent in all stages. Topographical pattern frequencies revealed a wide distribution amongst the different corneal patterns in all stages of keratoconus. Conclusion: Cone analysis should be of consideration to the contact lens practitioner when deciding on management of the condition. It additionally serves to compliment the clinical signs such as nerve visibility, Fleischer’s ring, Vogt’s striae and corneal scarring.
Is the polarity of content producers strongly influenced by the results of the event

This paper presents an approach to compare two types of data, subjective data (Polarity of Pan American Games 2011 event by country) and objective data (the number of medals won by each participating country), based on the Pearson corre- lation. When dealing with events described by people, knowledge acquisition is difficult because their structure is heterogeneous and subjective. A first step towards knowing the polarity of the information provided by people consists in automatically classifying the posts into clusters according to their polarity. The authors carried out a set of experiments using a corpus that consists of 5600 posts extracted from 168 Internet resources related to a specific event: the 2011 Pan American games. The approach is based on four components: a crawler, a filter, a synthesizer and a polarity analyzer. The PanAmerican approach automatically classifies the polarity of the event into clusters with the following results: 588 positive, 336 neutral, and 76 negative. Our work found out that the polarity of the content produced was strongly influenced by the results of the event with a correlation of . 74. Thus, it is possible to conclude that the polarity of content is strongly affected by the results of the event. Finally, the accuracy of the PanAmerican approach is: . 87, . 90, and . 80 according to the precision of the three classes of polarity evaluated.
Selection for a larger pelvic area to improve the proportion of natural calvings in beef cattle

In double muscled beef breeds like Belgian Blue and Improved Red Pied almost 90% of all calvings are performed by a cesarian section, to minimise the risk of stillborn calves. The high percentage of cesarian deliveries may raise consumer concerns about animal welfare. To improve the proportion of natural calvings, a breeding value estimation was set up to select for a minimum pelvic height of 20.5 cm for Belgian Blue and Improved Red Pied cattle. From 2008 pelvic measurements were performed with the Rice pelvimeter on Belgian Blue and Improved Red Pied cattle. Measurements were performed between the age of 18 months and 6 years, when final pelvic size was reached. Genetic parameters for pelvic height and width were estimated. Heritabilities for pelvic height and width in Improved Red Pied cows were respectively 0.30 and 0.35, for Belgian Blue the heritabilities were 0.23 for both traits. Repeatabilites were 0.55 and 0.56 for height and width in Improved Red Pied. Breeding values of cows are sent to the participating farmers and the Belgian Blue and Improved Red Pied herdbooks receive breeding values of their sires.
The Effect Of Organization Development Intervention On Structural And Psychological Empowerment To Enhance Innovative Work Behavior: An Action Research In A Technical School In Thailand

This research investigated the effect of organization development interventions (ODI) in improving structural and psychological empowerment, to promote innovative work behavior among organization members, in a technical school in Thailand. Using an action research design, the ODI activities were conducted for a six month period with 36 employees. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used to explore and gather data at all levels (executives, heads of department, and employees). The action research was conducted in three phases: pre-ODI, ODI, and post-ODI. The findings revealed, that employees were able to generate new ideas through connecting with others, and were able to develop and implement ideas related to their own work. Recommendations for further improvement of the organization include: constant assessment of the school situation, development of team support to sustain momentum, development of leadership support, adoption of a cross-functional team to generate ideas, and introduction of Whole Brain Literacy to help employees execute ideas.
CLARIFYING THE RELATION BETWEEN BULLYING AND SOCIAL COGNITION

In an effort to resolve a current conflict in the literature, this project investigated the relation between social cognition and bullying by assessing theory of mind, emotion understanding, empathy, moral emotions, and bullying for aggressive children compared to prosocial children. A new measure was developed to assess the social cognitive constructs; bullying was assessed via self, peer, and teacher reports. Participants were 18 second graders, with the results presented in a descriptive case study. Moral emotions was the most useful for differentiating aggressive and prosocial children— prosocial children were more likely to score well, while aggressive children were more likely to do poorly. Results for theory of mind were mixed teacher/peer rated bullies had high theory of mind, while peer rated bullies scored low. The empathy scores were not what would be predicted from past research, and emotion understanding was also not useful for differentiating aggressive and prosocial children.
The Impact of Non-Oil Exports, FDI, and Services on Economic Growth in Saudi Arabia: An Empirical Analysis

This study was designed to reveal the transformation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s (hereafter referred to as the KSA) economy from an oil-driven one to one not driven solely by oil. Its focus is therefore on investigating the role of non-oil sectors (non-oil exports, foreign direct investment, and services) on economic growth during the 1980–2016 period. As part of the empirical analysis, cointegration, a vector error correction model, variance decomposition, impulse response, and CUSUM analysis were undertaken. The result of the variance decomposition analysis supports an earlier result obtained through the causality analysis, which revealed a unidirectional causality running from FDI to growth, as well as from non-oil exports to services. In the responses of the four variables to one standard deviation, innovations were, on average, found to be inactive in the early stages of the sample forecast period, but all variables demonstrated more pronounced responses after about seven years into the forecast period. Finally, the CUSUM test indicated the stability of the model. Keywords : Economic Growth, Non-Oil, FDI, Cointegration, Error Correction, Impulse Response JEL Classification: C33, C32, F43, F21
Supplementary value of vetch (Vicia dasycarpa) hay as a replacement to concentrate mix in the diet of lactating crossbred cows

An experiment was conducted with the objective of replacing vetch for concentrate mix on feed intake and digestibility as well as milk production and composition in lactating F1 crossbred (Boran x Friesian) cows fed with a basal diet of urea-molasses-treated wheat straw. Eight crossbred cows of similar milk yield (8–10 kg d -1 ), body weight (BW) and stage of lactation (early lactation), but differing in parities were arranged in 4 x 4 double Latin square design. The treatments included offering urea-molasses treated wheat straw (UMTWS) ad libitum and supplementation with concentrate mix (T 1 ), and replacement of the concentrate mix with vetch ( Vicia dasycarpa ) hay at a level of 25% (T 2 ), 50% (T 3 ) and 75% (T 4 ). The concentrate mix consisted of 74% wheat bran, 25% noug seed ( Guizotia abyssinica ) cake and 1% common salt. In sacco degradability study showed that the concentrate mix and vetch were similar in rumen degradability parameters, except that rate of degradation was relatively faster for vetch hay. Total dry matter (DM) intake was significantly higher (P 0.05) among treatments, except for cows in T 3 that had higher (P 0.05) for cows in the different treatments. It is concluded that vetch hay could substitute up to 50% of the concentrate mix without compromising feed intake and digestibility of nutrients as well as milk yield and compositions of lactating F1 Boran x Friesian cows.
CHILD ABANDONMENT AND PROTECTION OF ABANDONED CHILDREN IN LESOTHO: PREVENTION STRATEGIES

Abandonment creates risks for the wellbeing of children, while compromising their prospects for social adjustment and advancement. This implies pressure on a country’s fiscal base through probable lifelong dependence on public resources. The need for prevention of child abandonment in Lesotho and elsewhere can therefore not be overstated. This article, based on research in progress, discusses possible dangers of child abandonment and neglect, using attachment theory as its theoretical grounding. It considers findings based on two samples (professionals and adoptive mothers) and offers recommendations for the prevention of child abandonment and the protection of abandoned children, with specific reference to Lesotho.
Replacement timing for a one-shot system with minimal repair

A system that is available only once is called a one-shot system. To ensure its high availability, an inspection is performed regularly because its failure is detected only through it. In this paper, we discuss management policies in replacement timings of a single-unit one-shot system whose failures are removed by minimal repairs. We compare the two replacement policies that manages the number of failures and the number of periodic inspections. Our objective is to compare the two management policies of replacement timings by formulating the incurred cost rate, which is cost per unit time, and the availability.
DOA Estimation for Multiple Targets in MIMO Radar with Nonorthogonal Signals

This paper addresses the direction of arrival (DOA) estimation problem in the colocated multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar with nonorthogonal signals. The maximum number of targets that can be estimated is theoretically derived as rankRsN, where N denotes the number of receiving antennas and Rs is the cross-correlation matrix of the transmitted signals. Therefore, with the rank-deficient cross-correlation matrix, the maximum number that can be estimated is less than the radar with orthogonal signals. Then, a multiple signal classification- (MUSIC-) based algorithm is given for the nonorthogonal signals. Furthermore, the DOA estimation performance is also theoretically analyzed by the Carmér-Rao lower bound. Simulation results show that the nonorthogonality degrades the DOA estimation performance only in the scenario with the rank-deficient cross-correlation matrix.
Ecological responses of natural and planted forests to thinning in southeastern Korea: a chronosequence study

Effects of forest thinning on community level properties have not been understood yet in Korea. We investigated regeneration patterns and trajectories after a disturbance by applying a chronosequence approach. Light availability, litter and woody debris cover, and species composition were determined for twenty 50 m line-transect samples representing a disturbance duration gradient (within 11 years). Environmental factors such as light availability and coverage of woody debris and litter changed abruptly after thinning and then returned to the pre-disturbance state. Although species richness was gained at shrub and ground layer in a limited way in both forests, cover of various functional types revealed diversity in their responses. Notably, Alnus firma stands exhibited a larger increment of cover in woody plants. Ordination analysis revealed different regeneration trajectories between natural and planted stands. Based on ordination analysis, rehabilitated stands showed movement to alternative states compared with natural ones, reflecting lower resilience to perturbation (i.e., lower stability). Our results suggest that community resilience to artificial thinning depends on properties of the dominant species. But to get more explanatory ecological information, longer-term static observations are required.
