Influence of Chloride- and Soda-Dominated Salinity on Physiological and Biochemical Aspects of Halophytes with Different Strategies of Salt Metabolism

The authors study the effect of NaCl and NaHCO3 at concentrations of 1 M on the physiological and biochemical state of Salicornia perennans and Artemisia santonica for 24 hours. In our experiment, we evaluated: the accumulation of Na in the aerial part of plants, the stress index is lipid peroxidation (LPO); the state of membranes – by the composition and content of lipids and proteins, the level of photosynthetic pigments. The euhalophyte S. perennans accumulated Na on average 30% more than the glycohalophyte A. santonica. The addition of NaCl and NaHCO3 to the root environment promoted an increase in LPO in S. perennans by 2.4 times as compared to the control. In the case of A. santonica, LPO concentration increased by 1.2 times, but only when NaHCO3 was added to the soil. In addition, NaCl and NaHCO3 negatively affected plant lipids and proteins. Thus, in S. perennans plants, NaCl contributed to a decrease in phosphlipids by 34%, and NaHCO3 in glycolipids by 22% in comparison with the control. The quantitative content of the sum of water-soluble and membrane-bound proteins in the studied plants decreased by 10–36%. Chloride and soda-dominated salinity caused a decrease in the proportion of chlorophyll a and carotenoids only in S. perennans. The authors concluded that the response of the photosynthetic system and membrane complexes to various types of salinity in euhalophyte and glycohalophyte was different.
Diversity of arthropods on coffee arabica plantation side-grafting robusta variety in South of Sulawesi

The world market demand for Arabica coffee is relatively high at this time, South of Sulawesi had the opportunity to return to its glory in the 19th century as the largest exporter of Arabica coffee from the Dutch East Indies outside Java island in Indonesian to several countries. One factor to consider is the presence of production inhibitors, which is the threat potential of pests. So far, there are no precise data on the distribution and intensity of the major pest attack in each area of coffee in South Sulawesi. This makes decision-making for pest management and crop management challenging under different climatic and geographic conditions. Thus, this study aims to identify and analyze the main types of pest that attack coffee plants according to their location, climate and geographic conditions. The exploration of arthropod abundance in the field involves four methods: direct observation, sweep net, light trap, and direct observation techniques. Observations for 5 weeks of observation. The diversity of arthropods was observed in the coffee culture using Sweep Net, Pitt Fall, Light Trap and direct observation traps. The value of the Shannon Index Diversity Index (H’) was 2.9490 or moderate ecosystem. This shows that environmental conditions, productivity, ecosystem conditions, and ecological pressures in the coffee plantation area in Bontotenga Village are still quite balanced. According to their role in nature, the density of populations revealed the composition of pest insects 59%, natural enemies (predators and parasitoids) 38% and pathogenic vectors 3% of individuals found 586 individuals.
Effect of temperature and relative humidity on chemical analysis of red rice germination

Germinated rice (GR) is known as nutritional rice due to the higher content of nutrients compared to the conventional brown rice, such as antioxidant i.e. gamma-amirobutyric acid (GABA), gamma-oryzanol, phenolic, and essential amino acid (lysine and niacine), 3 times vitamin B1 and B2, some minerals, and 4 times the dietary fiber. Generally, GR is made from germinated rice. However, in this research, the GR was made from germinated grain. The purpose of this study was to analyze the chemical properties (protein, carbohydrate, ash, fat, minerals (Fe, Mg, Mn), vitamins (B1, B2, B6), and antioxidant activity of GR which that germinated in various temperature and relative humidity (RH) condition. The method used in this research divided into two stages: first, determining the fastest germination time of temperature (room, 20 °C, and 30 °C) and RH (room, 70, 80, and 90%) treatments. The second, determining the effect of the best treatment on the chemical analysis germinating red rice. This study used a complete randomized design method with two replications. The results showed that temperature and RH influenced the chemical analysis of red rice germinated by increasing vitamin B6, ash content, carbohydrate content (room and 20 °C, 90% RH treatments), and fat content (30 °C, 90% RH treatment). But decreasing the protein, vitamin B1, and some minerals such as Fe, Mg and Mn compared to non-germinated red rice. In addition, all treatments had strong antioxidant activity.
Development of a sequential data correction method for isotope ratio analysis by resonance ionization mass spectrometry

A sequential data correction method using several experimental parameters of pulsed resonance ionization mass spectrometry was developed to reduce mass discrimination effects for isotope ratio analysis as well as fluctuations in the ion count rate. This correction method was applied to isotope ratio determination of stable titanium isotopes using a two-step, single color ionization scheme. A significant improvement of the precision of the measured isotopic ratio of stable titanium isotopes was demonstrated after correction with a parameter set consisting of laser power, atmospheric pressure, and laser frequency.

Preparation of Nickel Hydroxide Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode and Its Electrochemical Behavior

Nickel hydroxide modified glassy carbon electrode was successfully prepared by a new method-film plating/cyclic voltammetry.Various factors affecting the elcetrocatalytic activity of nickel hydroxide film were investigated,with the optimal time and potential of cathodic enrichment being 2 min and -1.4 V,respectively.The process and mechanism of film-forming were discussed.The anodic peak current and catalytic anodic peak current of nickel hydroxide film were both controlled by diffusion. The nickel hydroxide modified electrode had considerable stability and showed high electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of H_(2)O_(2). The linear range for the determination of H_(2)O_(2) was 1.7110~(-5)~1.3310~(-2) (mol/L) with a detection limit of 2.8610~(-6) mol/L (S/N=3).
Effect of crystal orientation on the phase diagrams, dielectric and piezoelectric properties of epitaxial BaTiO3 thin films

The influence of crystal orientations on the phase diagrams, dielectric and piezoelectric properties of epitaxial BaTiO3 thin films has been investigated using an expanded nonlinear thermodynamic theory. The calculations reveal that crystal orientation has significant influence on the phase stability and phase transitions in the misfit strain-temperature phase diagrams. In particular, the (110) orientation leads to a lower symmetry and more complicated phase transition than the (111) orientation in BaTiO3 films. The increase of compressive strain will dramatically enhance the Curie temperature TC of (110)-oriented BaTiO3 films, which matches well with previous experimental data. The polarization components experience a great change across the boundaries of different phases at room temperature in both (110)- and (111)-oriented films, which leads to the huge dielectric and piezoelectric responses. A good agreement is found between the present thermodynamics calculation and previous first-principles calculations. Our work provides an insight into how to use crystal orientation, epitaxial strain and temperature to tune the structure and properties of ferroelectrics.
RESGATE VEGETATIVO DE ÁRVORES DE Tectona grandis Linn F. PELO ENRAIZAMENTO DE ESTACAS

O objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar o enraizamento de estacas provenientes das brotacoes advindas da decepa e do anelamento do caule de arvores de Tectona grandis , assim como de estacas originadas do sistema radicular. Foram selecionadas arvores em plantios comerciais (propagados via seminifera) de 5, 10 e 15 anos de idade, na fazenda Bacaeri, localizada no municipio Alta Floresta, Mato Grosso. Foram selecionadas 20 arvores por idade, sendo aplicados os tres tratamentos (decepa, anelamento e coleta de raiz). O experimento seguiu um arranjo fatorial (3 x 3), em delineamento estatistico inteiramente ao ocaso, considerando as tres idades e os tres tratamentos testados. Com os resultados obtidos foram verificadas diferencas significativas, para a brotacao e numero de brotos, em relacao a idade, a tecnica de resgate, nao obstante nao foram encontradas diferencas estatisticas na interacao “idade x tecnica de resgate”. Quanto ao enraizamento das estacas, diferencas estatisticas foram observadas somente quanto a tecnica de resgate. Os resultados indicaram que as tecnicas de resgate, pela decepa e pelo anelamento do caule demostraram ter potencial no resgate vegetativo desta especie. O resgate de arvores da teca pelo metodo da estaquia radicular, nao se torna viavel nas condicoes avaliadas, pelo fato da baixa taxa de enraizamento (4%) e nao obtencao de brotacoes nas estacas. Palavras-chave: propagacao vegetativa, silvicultura clonal, teca, estaquia. REDEMPTION VEGETATIVE OF THE Tectona grandis Linn F. TREES BY THE STAKES ROOTING ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the rooting of cuttings of shoots arising from coppicing and stem girdling of teak trees, as well as stakes originated the root system. Trees were selected in commercial plantations (propagated via seminiferous) of 5, 10 and 15 years old, in Bakirifarm, located in the city Alta Floresta, Mato Grosso, Brazil. Twenty trees were selected by age, the three treatments being applied (cuts off, annealingand root collection). The experiment followed a factorial arrangement (3 x 3) in experimental design entirely to the decline, considering the three ages and the three treatments tested. With the results obtained significant differences were found for the budding and number of shoots in relation to age, rescue technique, never the less there were no statistical differences in the interaction “old x rescue technique”. As for root cutting, statistical differences were observed only on the rescue technique. The results indicated that the rescue techniques by cuts off and the stem girdling demonstrated a potential in vegetative recovery of this species. The rescue of teak trees by the method of root cuttings, does not be come viable under the conditions evaluated, because of the low strike rate (4%) and not getting shoots at the stake.

Long Tail Visual Relationship Recognition with Hubless Regularized Relmix

Several approaches have been proposed in recent literature to alleviate the long-tail problem, mostly in the object classification task. We propose to study the task of Long-Tail Visual Relationship Recognition (LTVRR), which aims at generalizing on the structured long-tail distribution of visual relationships (e.g., "rabbit grazing on grass"). In this setup, subject, relation, and object classes individually follow a long-tail distribution. We first introduce two large-scale long-tail visual relationship recognition benchmarks to study this task, dubbed as VG8K-LT (5330 objects, 2000 relationships) and GQA-LT (1703 objects, 310 relations). VG8K-LT and GQA-LT are built upon the widely used Visual Genome and GQA datasets. In contrast to existing benchmarks, some classes appear at a very low frequency ($1-14$ examples). We use these benchmarks to study the performance of several state-of-the-art long-tail models on LTVRR setup. We developed a visiolinguistic hubless (ViLHub) loss that consistently encourages visual classifiers to be more predictive of tail classes while being accurate on the head. We also propose relationship Mixup augmentation, dubbed as RelMix, to improve performance on the tail on VG8K-LT and GQA-LT benchmarks with the best performance achieved when combined with ViLHub loss. Benchmarks and code will be made available.
Effect of Polysulfone Concentration on the Performanceof Membrane-Assisted Lead Acid Battery

The application of lead acid battery in tropical countries normally faces the problem of water decomposition. This phenomenon is due to the factor of charge-discharge reaction in the battery and heat accumulation caused by hot tropical climate and heat generated from engine compartment. The objective of this study is to analyze the effect of polysulfone concentration on the performance of membrane-assisted lead-acid battery. Gas separation membranes, prepared through wet-dry phase inversion method and using various polysulfone concentrated formulations, were applied on the battery vent holes, for the purpose of preventing electrolyte from evaporating to the atmosphere. The best membrane, which retains the most electrolyte, will be chosen to be applied on the soon-to-be-developed â€œmembrane-assisted maintenance- free batteryâ€? This maintenance-free battery will need no topping up of deionized water every time the electrolyte level goes low.
The Effect of Outlier on Lasso Estimators and Regressions

Lasso regression (Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator) dependent on reducing shrinkage. This kind regression deals with cases in which the explained variables have a multicollinearity problem between them and in models include a large number of explained variables with the goal is to focus on the variables that have the most effect on the dependent variable. In this research Lasso regression were presented with deferent (sample size, number of explained variables and number of outliers) to show its effect on lasso and Bayesian lasso regression. Numerical results showed that Lasso estimator was affected by each of the sample size, outlier's ratios and regression method. Other methods, such as shrinkage ridge and Bayesian ridge methods can be used for comparison with the assumed methods
Liquid Rocket Engine.

PURPOSE:To boost propellant to a high pressure without using a subcombustor by reheating a part of the propellant heated by the heat of a combustor by using a heat exchange means in a nozzle part. CONSTITUTION:The liquid hydrogen as fuel and liquid oxygen as oxidizer are pressurized to each high pressure by boosters 3 and 4. The total quantity of the pressurized liquid hydrogen is allowed to pass through a cooling jacket in a combustion chamber and cools a combustor 6. Therefore, propellant 1 is heated, and almost all parts of the hydrogen is combusted in the combustor 6, and jetted in gas form. While, after passing through the cooling jacket 7 in the combustion chamber, a part of the hydrogen is introduced into a high expansion nozzle cooling jacket 9 for cooling a high expansion nozzle8 and heated to obtain an increased pressure. Therefore, the driven with a sufficient output is permitted by providing the energy of the hidrogen gas at high temperature into the driving device 5 of the booster.
The Aftermath of Human Trafficking: Exploring the Albanian Victims’ Return, Rehabilitation, and Reintegration Challenges

ABSTRACT Since the collapse of communism in the 1990s, Albanian women and children have been increasingly trafficked in countries across Europe. While extensive literature addresses the organizational structure and the factors making human trafficking thrive, the experiences of victims of human trafficking upon their return to their home countries is a commonly under-represented concern. This article addresses the present gap in research by exploring the rehabilitation and reintegration challenges faced by Albanian victims of sex trafficking and forced begging upon their return to Albania, as reflected by 15 professionals providing direct assistance to the victims. The fieldwork was conducted in three Albanian cities and all four organizations responsible for the rehabilitation and reintegration of trafficking victims in Albania participated in the study. Data from the interviews with practitioners indicate that most victims returned involuntarily to Albania. During the rehabilitation and reintegration process, victims encountered numerous challenges on individual, familial, social, economic, legal, and institutional levels. Findings suggest that following their return to Albania, victims are perplexed regarding their self-identity, face health problems, criminal prosecutions, familial exclusion, and stigmatization, and lack support in gaining economic independence, feeling safe, and accessing justice.
NMR METABOLIC PROFILING OF MOSQUITO SPECIES TO UNDERSTAND INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE

The work presented in this thesis explores insecticide resistance using NMR metabolomics in pupa, early pupa and early adult mosquitoes of both sexes. Firstly, sex differences were investigated in early pupa and early adult strains of Anopheles gambiae and Aedes aegypti. Secondly, Cyp4g16 and Cyp4g17 knock-down strains of An. gambiae were studied to further understand the cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) biosynthesis mechanism. Lastly, wild type susceptible and resistant strains of An. gambiae and Ae. aegypti were studied to understand metabolic differences in resistance. A common theme in this work is the utilisation of NMR metabolomics, focusing on polar metabolic profiles and its application in insecticide resistant mosquitoes. Improvements on the analyses of the NMR data to make the identification of metabolites from the NMR spectra more robust was also undertaken in the course of this project. The vast majority of mosquito studies focus on females since only females bite. This means that there is often a great amount of information on male mosquitoes that is not utilised. In order to investigate sex differences in wild type An. gambiae (and knock-down strains) and Ae. aegypti, a metabolomics protocol was established. This study found that early female pupae and adults have higher levels of lactate and glucose compared to males, whereas, their pyruvate and propionate levels were found to be lower. Cuticular resistance is a relatively newly discovered mechanism, with much about it that is still unknown, Electron microscopy studies have shown that insecticide resistant mosquitoes of An. gambiae possess a thicker cuticular layer. Furthermore, the decarbonylases, Cyp4g16 and Cyp4g17, have been found to be critical in CHC biosynthesis and are highly expressed in insecticide resistant strains. Although not fully characterised, these enzymes are thought to catalyse a decarbonylation step in CHC biosynthesis. The study here showed evidence that both Cyp4g16 and Cyp4g17 take part in the biosynthesis of methyl branched-alkanes. Additionally, these enzymes have temporal activity where Cyp4g16 activity can be observed in both pupa and adult stages, whereas Cyp4g17 activity is only observable in the adult stage. Using resistant and susceptible strains of both An. gambiae and Ae. aegypti, metabolic differences were observed. Trehalose was found consistently higher in all resistant strains IIand so it has been proposed as a biomarker candidate. Furthermore, systems using trehalose were suggested as potential targets in insecticide development. In conclusion, the work in this thesis shows that it is possible to use NMR metabolomics to study the metabolic responses found in insect pupae and adults, to distinguish sex differences and the obtained development stage- dependent temporal information on the activity of specific enzymes. Furthermore, through the identification of elevation in trehalose in resistant mosquitoes, this study has proposed a potential biomarker for identification of resistant mosquito species.
Experimental Research of SEU and SEL in High Density SRAMs With Sub-micron Feature Sizes

The aggressive downscaling of CMOS technology has resulted in that radiation induced single event upset(SEU)reliability is getting worse and worse.Using the HI-13 tandem accelerator in China Institute of Atomic Energy,heavy ion SEU and single event latch-up(SEL)sensitivities for a variety of non-hardened high density static random access memories(SRAMs)with sub-micron feature sizes were reported.The results were compared with previously measured sensitivities for similar devices with larger features.The problems associated with SEU become more sever as device dimensions decrease.Multiple-bit upsets(MBU)for the HM62V16100LT15 in 0.13 μm CMOS technology caused by a single ion were analyzed.The frequency and the distribution of MBU were given.MBU makes challenge for EDAC adopted by the system of satellites.
Recyclable Supported Carbene Catalysts for High-Yielding Self-Condensation of Furaldehydes into C10 and C12 Furoins

Two highly efficient and recyclable heterogeneous azolium catalyst systems, one grafted (g) onto the inorganic oxide (Silica) and the other onto the organic polymer [Merrifield’s peptide or chloromethylated polystyrene (PS) resin], have been developed and employed to catalyze quantitative self-coupling (umpolung condensation) reactions of furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into C10 and C12 furoins, respectively. Supported benzimidazolium ([BI]) salts bearing a long-chain alkyl substituent (i.e., C12 dodecyl) on the azolium nitrogen atom, upon activation with a suitable base to generate the corresponding N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyst, are found to be far more effective catalysts for furaldehyde self-coupling reactions than the analogous catalysts carrying a short-chain alkyl substituent (i.e., C1 methyl). Thus, supported NHC catalysts generated in situ from Silica-g-[BI]-C12 or PS-g-[BI]-C12-benzyl/base afford the C10 and C12 furoins in about 97% and 94% yield, respectively. By adopting a c.
