Title: Optimizing texture assessment for muscadine grape breeding Name, Mailing, and Email Address of Principal Investigator(s): Principal Investigator

Muscadine grapes are a popular specialty crop in the southern United States but market expansion is limited by consumer acceptance of certain texture attributes, including thick skins and soft gummy flesh. The development of instrumental techniques that are well correlated with sensory perception of texture attributes and breeders’ ratings would allow for more breeding selections to be objectively evaluated for texture each season. In this study we evaluated seven muscadine cultivars and breeding selections of varying texture and a table grape check using trained descriptive sensory analysis, breeders’ ratings, and instrumental texture assessment techniques with a variety of probe attachments and protocols. A comparison between sensory and instrumental techniques was conducted to evaluate the role of low-cost instrumental techniques in predicting sensory attributes as they relate to perceived consumer preferences. The muscadine genotypes differed significantly for most instrumental and sensory attributes measured and many correlations were found between the sensory and instrumental measurements. Based on the 2019 data, the best approach for measuring texture on a large number of breeding genotypes appeared to be combining a single breeder rating for texture quality and an instrumental protocol with a 2 mm puncture probe to estimate work to rupture and elasticity. This approach would provide an adequate prediction of sensory characteristics including awareness of skins, crispness, detachability, hardness, and visual separation of skins from flesh that are all important for consumer acceptance. Introduction Muscadine grapes (Vitis rotundifolia Michx.) are a disease-resistant specialty crop native to the southern United States. Muscadines have a loyal consumer base, but some fruit properties including thick skins, seedy pulp, and unstable aromas and flavors need improvement for successful market expansion. Texture is among the most important quality attributes for freshmarket grapes and has been studied extensively in V. vinifera grapes, which have a thin and tender skin that break down easily when chewed and adheres to the firm and meaty pulp (Sato et al. 1997; 2006). In contrast, muscadines typically have a thick, leathery skin, which slips from the soft pulp. While many consumers who grew up eating muscadine grapes discard the skins and/or appreciate the unique texture of this fruit, the soft pulp and leathery skin of many cultivars can be off-putting to consumers unfamiliar with muscadines. In fact, a recent consumer sensory study at the
SCAFFOLDING FOR PEER FEEDBACK SESSION: WHAT, WHY, AND HOW?

Recent research has shown the value of peer feedback in writing class. By evaluating their peer’s work, students can figure out the strengths and weaknesses of their friends’ drafts. After doing this, it is expected that they could compare their peer’s work to their own work, which will certainly be beneficial for the revision process. The biggest challenge I faced when implementing peer feedback is how to scaffold the students to be able to provide valuable input to their friends’ work. This ability is important because the input students give to their friends could become a reflection to their own draft. This sharing is based on what I experienced during Expository and Argumentative Writing Class last semester, particularly on what I did before, during, and after the peer feedback session. To get clearer idea about the classroom situation, I will provide some examples of the task sheets used. I will also provide some empirical evidence from the student worksheets. I expect that my sharing could enrich our understanding on how to use peer feedback sessions, particularly on how to scaffold the students to provide valuable peer feedback.

Genesis, characterization and classification of soils from selected parts of Prakasam district in Andhra Pradesh, India

Seven typical pedons from Chimakurthi, Marrichetlapalem, Iapavaluru, Rudravaram, Taragudipadu, Chellapalem and Mainampadu villages representing major land forms in the selected parts of Prakasam district of Andhra Pradesh viz., uplands and plains, developed from granite-gneiss parent material under varying land use were selected for the present study. These pedons were studied in detail for their morphological characteristics, soil genesis, physical and physico-chemical properties and nutrient status. Soils in the area were moderately deep to very deep, slightly alkaline to alkali (pH 7.24 to 10.35) in reaction, non-saline. They had ustic soil moisture regime and iso-hyperthermic temperature regime. Texture, organic carbon, CEC and base saturation in the profiles ranged from loamy sand to clay, 0.18 to 0.70 per cent, 8.65 to 51.48 cmol (p) kg and 62.87 to 90.92 per cent, respectively. These soils were found to be low in available nitrogen, low to high in available phosphorus, medium to high in available potassium and sufficient in available sulphur (except in lower layers of pedon 2). They were found to be deficient in DTPA-extractable Zn (except in the surface horizons of pedons 3 and 4). However, they were sufficient in DTPA-extractable Fe (except in the Bw1 horizon of pedon 1), Cu (except in the 3A3 horizon of pedon 7) and Mn. The pedons 2 and 7 were grouped under Entisols due to absence of sub-surface diagnostic horizon and were classified as Typic Ustorthents at sub-group level; pedons 1, 3, 5 and 6 were placed under Inceptisols due to presence of cambic (BW) sub-surface diagnostic horizon and classified as Typic Haplustepts at sub-group level. The pedon 4 was grouped under Vertisols due to the presence of vertic features like slickensides, pressure faces, cracks and presence of more than 30 % clay in all the horizons and was classified as Typic Haplusterts at sub-group level. Location specific recommendations were made based on the physical, physico-chemical characteristics and fertility status of these soils for better and sustainable crop production besides conserving and improving the soil health.

The comparison of the results of the different methods identification effect on the ORL, YALE and FERET face database show, the integrated method proposed in this paper improves the recognition rate, and it also reduces the training and classification time as well.
Particle Growth and Variation of Cloud Condensation Nucleus Activity on Polluted Days with New Particle Formation: A Case Study for Regional Air Pollution in the PRD Region, China

ABSTRACTNew particle formation (NPF) events on polluted days at a regional supersite in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region and its impact on the abundance and properties of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) were investigated. Nucleation and subsequent significant growth of nanoparticles on a regional scale was observed and representative events on 2 and 6 October 2013 were chosen in this study. The measurements showed that the primary components of the particles were sulfate, ammonium, and organics as they were added continuously to secondary aerosol mass and that particles show inversion from growth to shrink if the particles comprise primarily of organics due to evaporation of semi-volatile species under favorable meteorological conditions. The effective hygroscopicity parameter κ of fine particles on 2 October composed of sulfate, nitrate and ammonium (κ = 0.26–0.42) was larger than that of fine particles on 6 October containing more organics (κ = 0.19–0.36). Particles in the nucleation mode were observed to grow rapidly to the CCN sizes and dominate the CCN number concentrations at a water vapor supersaturation (S) over 0.46%. At an S range of 0.26–0.86%, the CCN number concentrations reached maximum values of (1.3–2.6) × 104 cm–3 after the NPF event on 2 October. The sulfate component in the particles was found to increase significantly, about 50% higher than that before NPF. Results from events on 6 October showed a significant increase of the organic component and the CCN number concentrations after the NPF event were comparable or slightly lower than those before the event. Nevertheless, the average CCN number concentrations scaled with EC mass concentration with S over 0.46% in the daytime of 2 and 6 October were significantly higher than those on a non-NPF event day.
Community Participation and Sustainability of Water Projects in Kwanza Sub-County , Trans-Nzoia County , Kenya

Sustainability of water project is crucial for direct and indirect beneficiaries when a project succeeds. Adequate involvement of all community in projects is still a challenge to most of the less developed countries such as Kenya. A lack of sufficient community engagement in project formulation, financing, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation has seen many projects dying before their fifth birthdays. The purpose of the study was to determine the influence of community participation on sustainability of water projects in Kwanza sub-county, Trans-Nzoia County. A descriptive survey research design was used. The target population of the study was 32,181 households in Kwanza Sub-county, Trans-Nzoia County. The researcher used Sekaran (2003) sample size determination formula to give a sample of 380 Households. The researcher used simple random sampling to select the households. The study used questionnaire to collect data. The researcher pre-tested the questionnaire on 38 households in the neighboring Kiminini Constituency. The researcher ensured and enhanced the validity of the questionnaires through expert reviews. Split-half method to compute the reliability of the instruments.Datawas analyzed both using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The descriptive analysis generated frequencies, proportions, mean and standard deviation while inferential analysis generated Pearson’s correlations coefficients. Findings were presented through frequency and percentage tables. The researcher observed ethical consideration such as informed consent, confidentiality, no harm and beneficence.There was a significant strong positive association between project formulation and sustainability of water projects, Spearman's rho(r) = 0.761, p<0.001, CL=95%. There was a significant strong positivecorrelation between project financing and sustainability of water projects, Spearman's rho(r) = 0.709, p<0.000, CL=95%. The correlation between project implementation and sustainability of water projects was significant, weak and positive, Spearman's rho(r) = 0.373, p=0.061, CL=95%. Monitoring and Evaluation and sustainability of water projects had a significant moderate positive correlation, Spearman's rho(r) = 0.496, p=0.010, CL=95%. The government and other development agencies need to enhance community involvement in project formulation, project financing, execution and monitoring and evaluation. There is therefore need to establish the moderating role of project leadership on the relationship between stakeholder participation and sustainability of community water projects in Kwanza sub-county.
LOSS FACTOR AND DYNAMIC YOUNG MODULUS DETERMINATION FOR COMPOSITE SANDWICH BARS REINFORCED WITH STEEL FABRIC

In this paper I have build some composite sandwich bars. For these bars I have determined the dynamic response by recording their free vibrations. These bars have the core made of polypropylene honeycomb with upper and lower layers reinforced with steel wire mesh. For these bars I have determined the the eigenfrequency of the first eigenmode in this way: the bar was embedded at one end and free at the other where there was placed an accelerometer at 10 mm distance from the edge and I applied an initial force at the free end. I have determined the eigenfrequency because I will use its values for the loss factor and dynamic Young modulus determination.

This report presents a novel method for microwave-assisted synthesis of diazinon with different organic solvents, microwave heating power, heating time, catalysts. The optimal conditions for this synthesis are: 750W for microwave power, 12 min. for heating time, and 0.02% for mole ratio of catalyst DMAP to O, O-diethyl thiophosphoryl chloride and 1, 2-dichloroethane for the best solvent, which can lead the yield of diazinon to 67.86%. When adding repeatedly fresh 2-isopropyl-6-methyl-4-hydroxy pyrimidine for enough times, the yield of diazinon for O, O-diethyl phosphoryl chloride can be as high as 86.54%. With an amazing chemical reaction rate and less waste water discharge, microwaveassisted synthesis is a promising method for green synthesis. Keywords-diazinon; optimization of reaction conditions; microwave-assisted synthesis
Finding Combinations of Binary Variables with Guaranteed Accuracy

We propose a probabilistic approach to finding frequently occurring combinations of binary variables with accuracy guarantees, which is a computationally challenging task due to the combinatorial explosion of variable combinations. For recently appearing massive databases over several terabytes, existing methods are too exhaustive to enumerate frequent combinations as they cannot even load such databases on the main memory. In contrast to such exhaustive approaches, our method efficiently finds frequent variable combinations via iterative sampling and does not need to load the entire database. Moreover, we can theoretically control the ratio of false positives and false negatives.
Application of World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument , Short Form ( WHOQOL-BREF ) in measuring quality of life in patients with cataract

Objectives: Cataract is a prevalent disease in senile persons and has some negative influence on patients’ quality of life. This study conducted to study the application of WHOQoL-Bref in determining quality of life in patients with cataract. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, an entire of 300 patients with cataract were studied in Neyshabur from July to October 2014. The Iranian version of the WHOQoL-BREF questionnaire was used to measure quality of life. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, Paired t-test, t-independent test and Linear Regression Model were used for analyzing data. Data were analyzed using SPSS software ver16. Results: The mean age of the contributors was 68.11±11.98 yr and the majority of them were female (53%). The overall observed Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for WHOQoLBREF was 0.889 and for each domain ranged from 0.714 to 0.810. The total mean score of WHOQoL-BREF was 13.19. The highest and lowest mean scores were observed in Social relationship domain (14.11) and physical health domain (12.29), respectively. Backward multiple linear regression model displayed that duration of disease and marital status are associated with total WHOQoL, age, duration of disease, marital status and income level are associated with Domain1, Domain2, Domain3 and Domain4, respectively (p<0.05). Conclusion: Reliability analysis in this study indicated an acceptable internal consistency of WHOQOL-BREF scale to measure quality of life in patients with cataract. Also, it appears that surveyed patients with cataract have relatively moderate quality of life.
Effect of Shengji Yuhong plaster on the wound healing after anal fistula surgery

The anal fistula is a common anorectal disease and refers to an abnormal passage formed by the rectum or anal tube with the skin outside the anus due to the pathological factors[1-3]. The anal fistula can occur in any age with a morbidity of about 3%–5%, and severely affect the patients normal life[4]. The anal fistulectomy is the most thorough and effective method to treat anal fistula, but due to the specific affected site, the postoperative complications, such as bleeding, pain, swelling, infection, and pseudo healing are prone to occur[5-8]. Therefore, how to effectively promote the wound healing after anal fistulectomy is of great significance in enhancing the efficacy. The traditional Chinese medicine has an original view in understanding the wound repairing, especially in the external therapy of wound, it has a more unique advantage[9]. It is reported that Shengji Yuhong plaster has a significant wound repairing effect after anal fistula effect[10]. The study was aimed to explore the effect of Shengji Yuhong plaster on the wound healing after anal fistula surgery.
Construction of Fisheye Lens Inverse Perspective Mapping Model and Its Application of Obstacle Detection Student: Ching-Chiuan Yang Advisor: Dr. Chin-Teng Lin Department of Electrical and Control Engineering

Due to the number of road traffic accidents is still so much even if the number of higher performance vehicle is growing up over the world in recent years. Consumers would consider not only the style and brand of vehicle but also the safety of vehicle while they are purchasing vehicles. One item of the intelligent transportation system called advanced vehicle control and safety system are focusing on the safety improvement of vehicle. Therefore, many international vehicle companies and laboratories have invested in driving safety applications, for example, Toyota, Honda, and Nissan in Japan. Most accidents result from the inattention in driving and the form of accidents is almost the collision between vehicle and other obstacles such as pedestrians, other vehicles, street light and so on. In order to avoid the collision, we develop a vision based obstacle detection system by utilizing our proposed fisheye lens inverse perspective mapping method. In this thesis of fisheye lens inverse perspective mapping method, we point out the error which former researcher made and propose new mapping equations. After

MOLECULAR DYNAMICS SIMULATIONS OF HYDROGEN-DISLOCATION INTERACTION IN IRON NANOCRYSTALS

Hydrogen embrittlement of steels, and in metals in general, has been a subject of interest for the last sixty years. Nevertheless, the very specific mechanisms of embrittlement are still argued, where mixed effects of material characteristics are expected to play a role on the embrittlement/failure of the material. In the current study, atomistic simulations for iron nano-pillars (BCC) are conducted, with the existence and absence of hydrogen atoms, to study the hydrogen embrittlement phenomena. A focus is put on studying hydrogen's effect on plasticity evolution, e.g. the evolution of dislocation-densities under the existence of hydrogen atoms; The atomistic simulations help to give a new insight into the phenomena, by rather focusing on collective hydrogen interaction with existing dislocation networks in the material, along with the effect of hydrogen on densities evolution over time. Furthermore, a study of several models with different sizes, initial dislocation-densities and hydrogen concentration is conducted to study these effects on hydrogen embrittlement phenomena.
Fab Fragment of V H H-Based Antibody Netakimab : Crystal Structure and Modeling Interaction with Cytokine IL-17 A

Interleukin 17A (IL-17A) is a proinflammatory cytokine produced by Th17 cells. Antibody BCD-085 (netakimab) against human IL-17A is one of the new inhibitors of this cytokine. In netakimab, the VH domain is replaced by the VHH domain of Lama glama possessing a long complementarity determining region (CDR-H3) in its heavy chain. Here we demonstrate the high affinity of IL-17A to the Fab fragment of netakimab and to its integral part, the VHH domain. We have determined the crystal structure of the Fab fragment of netakimab at 1.9 Å resolution. High variability in the orientation of light and heavy chains of the Fab fragment of netakimab was shown, which is determined by the peculiarity of the structural organization of the CDR-H3. As the high conformational plasticity of the molecule hampers modeling the Fab fragment of netakimab complexed to IL-17A, we have carried out modeling the complex between the antigen and the integral part of the Fab fragment, the VHH domain. We explain the high netakimab Fab fragment affinity for IL-17A by a large number of protein–protein contacts due to additional interactions between CDR-H3 and the cytokine dimer.
Southeastern Flank of the Dennilton Dome , Northern Province , South Africa : Implications for Exploration Crous

The study area is located in the Republic of South Africa in the Northern Province between Loskop Dam and the town of Groblersdal, on the SE flank of the Dennilton Dome, and is underlain by lithologies of the Transvaal Sequence and Bushveld Complex. The rocktypes of the Rustenburg Layered Suite on the farm Rietfontein 70JS are subdivided into a Mixed Zone, Critical Zone and Main Zone, on grounds of certain geochemical and geophysical attributes. The Fe-rich constituents of these stratigraphic horizons generate a pronounced magnetic anomaly within the study area. On the basis of, amongst other parameters, Zr/Rb and Sr/Al2O3 ratios the magnetite-gabbros are postulated to conform to lithotypes at the stratigraphic level of magnetite layers 8 to 14 of Upper Zone Subzone B in a normal Bushveld Complex stratigraphical subdivision. The feldspathic pyroxenites and norites that display elevated chromium values are analogues to normal Critical Zone rocktypes of the Rustenburg Layered Suite. A more precise stratigraphic correlation for the Critical Zone was, however, not possible. Evidence produced by this study indicate that the exploration methods and techniques employed during this study can be applied with success to geological settings where lithotypes with a Bushveld Complex affinity occur, in order to elucidate potentially viable deposits. A comparison is also made between the merits of utilising regional—as opposed to detailed— grid geochemistry and geophysical methods, and the results thereof.
