SOURCES AND DOSES OF POTASSIUM ON YIELD COMPONENTS OF SOYBEAN AND SORGHUM

For a high agricultural yield, the soil must have adequate fertility to provide the nutrients required by crops. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different potassium sources and doses on yield and its components in the soybean and sorghum in the second harvest. The experiment was installed in the 2018/2019 harvest in the experimental field of the State University of Goiás, University Unit of Ipameri, Campus Sul, in Ipameri-GO. The experimental design used was randomized blocks arranged in a 2 x 6 factorial scheme with four replications. Two potassium sources (potassium chloride 58% K2O and phonolite 8% K2O and 25% Si) and six potassium doses (0; 60; 120; 180; 240; and 300 kg ha-1) applied via soil were evaluated. The experiments were carried out under the no-tillage system on corn straw, using the cultivars M 7110 IPRO and Atlântica MR 43 of soybean and sorghum, respectively. The main agronomic evaluations were carried out for the soybean and sorghum. Potassium fertilization favored the soybean grain yield, and the phonolite source showed higher grain yield up to the dose of 300 kg ha-1 of potassium. The potassium doses influenced the grain yield of sorghum up to 300 kg ha-1 of K.
Privacy Protection for Marginal-Sensitive Community Individuals Against Adversarial Community Detection Attacks

Social networks especially the social communities facilitate the rapid and rich social activities of all individuals in the world. However, advanced community detection brings serious privacy disclosure (e.g., whether two important and sensitive individuals belong to the same community? ) to us. For instance, online plainclothes policemen can be regarded as marginal community users who are often in the same community initially and in need of penetrating into as many as possible different communities to collect illegal evidence of network criminals, but adversarial community inference which can maliciously disclose the sensitive user relationships within a target community will expose their privacy and lead to task failure. Thus, privacy protection for the marginal community users becomes an urgent issue which is still open so far. In this work, we aim to study the community privacy protection for target marginal individuals of a community against multiple adversarial community detection (ACD) attacks. First, we define the marginal community user hiding problem and propose a marginal user pair selection strategy. Second, to enhance the privacy effectiveness of conventional methods, we propose a deep graph learning approach to maximally find the minimum link perturbation cost. Finally, we conduct various community detection attacks on many real social graphs, and the experimental results show that our method can more effectively hide the marginal-sensitive user pairs than baselines.
Star-forming galaxies and the X-ray background

It is hypothesized that star-forming galaxies, perhaps powered by superluminous Population I massive X-ray binaries (MXRBs) formed in the aftermath of star formation in low-metallicity regions, may be a major, and arguably dominant, component of the X-ray background. Star-forming galaxies at moderate redshift and with MXRB numbers in the 100-1000 range may evolve into the IR galaxies found at low redshifts by IRAS; it is established that the relationship between X-ray and IR luminosities for starburst/peculiar galaxies and IRAS galaxies is indistinguishable. The X-ray number counts of star-forming galaxies are predicted. 54 refs.
Single “Swiss-roll” microelectrode elucidates the critical role of iron substitution in conversion-type oxides

Advancing the lithium-ion battery technology requires the understanding of electrochemical processes in electrode materials with high resolution, accuracy, and sensitivity. However, most techniques today are limited by their inability to separate the complex signals from slurry-coated composite electrodes. Here, we use a three-dimensional “Swiss-roll” microtubular electrode that is incorporated into a micrometer-sized lithium battery. This on-chip platform combines various in situ characterization techniques and precisely probes the intrinsic electrochemical properties of each active material due to the removal of unnecessary binders and additives. As an example, it helps elucidate the critical role of Fe substitution in a conversion-type NiO electrode by monitoring the evolution of Fe2O3 and solid electrolyte interphase layer. The markedly enhanced electrode performances are therefore explained. Our approach exposes a hitherto unexplored route to tracking the phase, morphology, and electrochemical evolution of electrodes in real time, allowing us to reveal information that is not accessible with bulk-level characterization techniques.
Exploration of Coding in Qualitative Data Analysis: Grounded Theory Perspective

This study tries to identify, define, and analyze the coding techniques that the grounded theory researchers follow when they develop the qualitative research. Grounded theory is a qualitative research analysis that systematically collects and analyzes data to develop a new theory on human behavior in social welfare perceptions. It also tries to discuss coding method, coding cycle, theoretical sensitivity, theoretical sampling, theoretical saturation, etc. Usually, a code is a word or short phrases that symbolically allocate a summative, salient, and essence capturing for a portion of visual data. In qualitative grounded theory research coding plays an important role that enables the researchers to identify, organize, and build new theory that is grounded in data. The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of codes, coding, and coding methods that form a qualitative grounded theory.
A Case Report on Prosthetic Rehabilitation of Post-Mucormycosis-Clinical Cases

Mucormycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection, which mainly affects immunocompromised patients. Once the maxilla and orbit are involved, surgical resection and debridement of the necrosed areas can result in extensive defects . in prosthetic rehabilitation of such cases the major challenge is the replacement of misssing soft and hard tissues following surgical resection. Hence an acceptable replacement of such defects becomes a challenge to maxillofacial prosthodontists. This case series describes two cases of post mucormyosis rehabilitation. The first case describes the fabrication of an orbital silicone prosthesis retained with medical grade adhesive and the second case describes fabrication of a hollow bulb obturator for hemimaxillectomy. The final prosthesis in both the cases were esthetically pleasing, functionally efficient and boosted the patient’s morale, encouraging them to lead a normal life.
Academic Perfectionism, Psychological Well-Being, and Suicidal Ideation in College Students

High levels of perfectionism in college students can compromise their academic performance and psychological well-being. This study aims to analyze the implication of perfectionism in psychological well-being and suicidal ideation in the last year. A total of 1.287 students from different degrees reported their academic performance in the previous academic year and completed questionnaires on academic perfectionism, psychological well-being, and suicidal thoughts in the last year. In both men and women, academic perfectionism correlates positively with academic performance and negatively with the different dimensions of psychological well-being. Likewise, both the average grade in the previous year (β = 0.364) and the level of demand of the degree (β = −0.461) are mediating variables between perfectionism and psychological well-being. Furthermore, the interaction between perfectionism and academic performance is related positively to psychological well-being, but not to with suicidal ideation. So, the relation between suicidal ideation and perfectionism is positive (OR = 1.075), but this is negative with academic performance (OR = 0.900), although both variables show a mild predictive capacity. These findings suggest that the levels of perfectionism are associated differently with the mental health of students, since if perfectionism is effective (high academic performance), psychological well-being is high, although in our results, this interaction is not as important for suicidal thoughts.
Implementing scripted conversations by means of smart assistants

Smart assistants are among the most popular technological devices at home. With a built‐in voice‐based user interface, they provide access to a broad portfolio of online services and information, and constitute the central element of state‐of‐the‐art home automation systems. This work discusses the challenges addressed and the solutions adopted for the design and implementation of scripted conversations by means of off‐the‐shelf smart assistants. Scripted conversations play a fundamental role in many application fields, such as call center facilities, retail customer services, rapid prototyping, role‐based training or the management of neuropsychiatric disorders. To illustrate this proposal, an actual implementation of the phone version of the Montreal cognitive assessment test as an Amazon's Alexa skill is described as a proof‐of‐concept.
Application of Lytic Bacteriophages and Their Enzymes to Reduce Saprophytic Bacteria Isolated from Minimally Processed Plant-Based Food Products—In Vitro Studies

The aim of this study was to isolate phage enzymes and apply them in vitro for eradication of the dominant saprophytic bacteria isolated from minimally processed food. Four bacteriophages—two Enterobacter-specific and two Serratia-specific, which produce lytic enzymes—were used in this research. Two methods of phage enzyme isolation were tested, namely precipitation with acetone and ultracentrifugation. It was found that the number of virions could be increased almost 100 times due to the extension of the cultivation time (72 h). The amplification of phage particles and lytic proteins was dependent on the time of cultivation. Considering the influence of isolated enzymes on the growth kinetics of bacterial hosts, proteins isolated with acetone after 72-hour phage propagation exhibited the highest inhibitory effect. The reduction of bacteria count was dependent on the concentration of enzymes in the lysates. The obtained results indicate that phages and their lytic enzymes could be used in further research aiming at the improvement of microbiological quality and safety of minimally processed food products.
Generalist Diet of Microraptor zhaoianus Included Mammals

ABSTRACT Gut contents are extremely important for inferring trophic interactions between extinct species. These are, however, very rare in the fossil record and it is not always possible to accurately identify both the carnivore and the consumed organisms. Here we describe the remains of a small fossil mammal foot preserved inside the body cavity of the holotype specimen of the small feathered dinosaur Microraptor zhaoianus. This adds to the known diversity of diet for this genus, which also consumed birds, fish, and lizards. Previous interpretations that Microraptor was an arboreal hunter of birds and adept hunter of fish are not supported. Although the various known stomach contents would be plausible prey items based on size, there is no clear evidence that any of them were predated rather than scavenged, and Microraptor likely did both and foraged in multiple habitats.
Engel‐4 Groups of Exponent 5

We show that if G is a group of exponent 5, and if G satisfies the Engel‐4 identity [x,y,y,y,y]=1, then G is locally finite. By a result of Traustason, this implies that Engel‐4 5‐groups are locally finite. We also show that a group of exponent 5 is locally finite if and only if it satsifies the identity [x,[y,z,z,z,z],[y,z,z,z,z]]=1.
COVID-19 Vaccination Acceptance and Its Associated Factors: Insights from Rural and Urban Settlements in the Yilo Krobo Municipality in Ghana

The introduction of COVID-19 vaccines is viewed by many as an important milestone in controlling the spread of COVID-19 and a critical step toward attaining the required threshold for head immunity. However, accepting a vaccine is key to a successful rollout of any vaccination programme. Using the Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization (SAGE) framework on vaccine acceptance and hesitancy as an analytical framework, this study examines COVID-19 vaccination acceptance and its associated factors in rural and urban settlements in the Yilo Krobo Municipality in Ghana. Data for the study were drawn from a cross-sectional survey conducted in an urban and three rural settlements in the Yilo Krobo Municipality. The findings showed that about 97% of residents were aware of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout exercise in the country; however, only 46% were willing to take the vaccine. The results from the binary logistic regression show that the sex of respondents (p<0.01), safety considerations (p<0.001), level of information on the vaccine (p<0.05), and perceived risk concerns (p<0.01) were the key factors that significantly influenced vaccine acceptance in the municipality. The study recommends more public education and sensitization to reduce misconceptions and increase trust in the vaccine rollout exercise.
Occupational Therapy Role in Improving Health and Slowing down age-related declines: A systematic review

Background From a global perspective, aging people from 60 years and over were 962 million in 2017 and it is expected to reach 2.1 billion by 2050. When elderly people are not engaged in daily life, they become physically, socially and mentally impaired. The occupation-based interventions in elderly people improve their health and self-satisfaction in daily activities. Objective The aim was to analyse the role of Occupational Therapy in improving health and slowing down age-related declines. Methods The study was a systematic review of literature. Information on Occupational Therapy interventions was systematically searched from Cochrane library, MEDLINE and EMBASE database publications. The selection process of the studies was documented using PRISMA guidelines for intervention protocols. Results Literature search yielded 68 titles of relevant records. Of these five studies met inclusion criteria. One study explored the difference between group intervention and individual intervention; the results favoured group intervention. Comparison of Inter-professional approach with Occupational Therapy, the results favoured inter-professional practice in this population. Conclusions Occupational Therapy interventions seem to be effective in slowing down age related declines. However due to the heterogeneity in the intervention procedures, and duration of intervention, we suggest rigorous RCTS be undertaken to confirm that OT interventions delay age related declines.

Solution of the comoving-frame equation of transfer in spherically symmetric flows. I. Computational method for equivalent-two-level-atom source functions.

The equation of radiative transfer in the comoving frame makes possible an economical solution of the line formation problem in spherical atmospheres expanding with arbitrarily large velocities. A stable differencing scheme and a frequency-by-frequency elimination procedure have been developed to solve the partial differential equations that describe the radiation field in the comoving frame. Numerical results were obtained for a large number of illustrative models involving line formation by two-level atoms, electron scattering, and continuous absorption. Selected results that simulate situations in the stellar winds of hot stars and similar objects are discussed. In addition to P Cygni and other very broad profiles, extreme center-to-limb variations are obtained that show both limb darkening and limb brightening. For very high velocity flows with very weak or nonexistent continuum and electron-scattering opacities, the flux profiles are very nearly symmetric about the laboratory wavelength and have shapes reminiscent of those observed in the nuclei of Seyfert galaxies. Comparisons are presented between the results of Sobolev-type escape probability calculations and those obtained here. The force of radiation on the gas is examined in a number of situations; the mechanism mentioned by Noerdlinger and Rybicki for the disruption of radiatively driven envelopes in planar geometriesmore » is shown to become inoperative for even slightly extended spherical systems. « less
Prediction of Asbestos-Related Diseases (ARDs) and Chrysotile Asbestos Exposure Concentrations in Asbestos-Cement (AC) Manufacturing Factories in Zimbabwe

The use of historical asbestos measurement data in occupational exposure assessment is essential as it allows more quantitative analysis of possible exposure response relationships in asbestos-related disease (ARD) occurrence. The aim of this study was to predict possible ARDs, namely lung cancer, mesothelioma, gastrointestinal cancer, and asbestosis, in two chrysotile asbestos cement (AC) manufacturing factories. Prediction of ARDs was done using a specific designed job-exposure matrix for airborne chrysotile asbestos fibre concentrations obtained from the Harare and Bulawayo AC factories and through application of OSHA’s linear dose effect model in which ARDs were estimated through extrapolation at 1, 10, 20, and 25 years of exposure. The results show that more cancer and asbestosis cases are likely to be experienced among those exposed before 2008 as exposure levels and subsequently cumulative exposure were generally much higher than those experienced after 2008. After a possible exposure period of 25 years, overall cancer cases predicted in the Harare factory were 325 cases per 100,000 workers, while for the Bulawayo factory, 347 cancer cases per 100,000 workers exposed may be experienced. Possible high numbers of ARDs are likely to be associated with specific tasks/job titles, e.g., saw cutting, kollergang, fettling table, ground hard waste, and possibly pipe-making operations, as cumulative exposures, though lower than reported in other studies, may present higher risk of health impairment. The study gives insights into possible ARDs, namely lung cancer, mesothelioma, gastrointestinal cancer, and asbestosis, that may be anticipated at various cumulative exposures over 1, 10, 20, and 25 years of exposure in AC manufacturing factories in Zimbabwe. Additionally, results from the study can also form a basis for more in-depth assessment of asbestos cancer morbidity studies in the AC manufacturing industries.

Linoleic Acid-Enriched Diet Increases Mitochondrial Tetralinoleoyl Cardiolipin, OXPHOS Protein Levels, and Uncoupling in Interscapular Brown Adipose Tissue during Diet-Induced Weight Gain

Simple Summary We explored the ability of dietary fat quality to influence mitochondrial cardiolipin species, respiratory chain protein levels, and function in brown adipose tissue during the consumption of moderate-fat diets in mice. Findings from this study suggest that diets containing linoleic acid (LA)-rich oil may confer whole-body and brown adipose tissue (BAT)-specific metabolic benefits through its ability to enrich linoleic acid-containing cardiolipin (CL) species to best support mitochondrial uncoupling. Abstract Cardiolipin (CL) is a phospholipid unique to the inner mitochondrial membrane that supports respiratory chain structure and function and is demonstrated to be influenced by types of dietary fats. However, the influence of dietary fat on CL species and how this best supports mitochondrial function in brown adipose tissue (BAT), which exhibits an alternative method of energy utilization through the uncoupling of the mitochondrial proton gradient to generate heat, is not well understood. Therefore, the aim of our study was to evaluate metabolic parameters, interscapular BAT CL quantity, species, and mitochondrial function in mice consuming isocaloric moderate-fat diets with either lard (LD; similar fatty acid profile to western dietary patterns) or safflower oil high in linoleic acid (SO), shown to be metabolically favorable in large clinical meta-analyses. Mice fed the SO diet exhibited decreased adiposity, improved insulin sensitivity, and enrichment of LA-containing CL species in BAT CL. Furthermore, mice fed the SO diet exhibit higher levels of OXPHOS complex proteins and increased oxygen consumption in BAT. Our findings demonstrate that dietary consumption of LA-rich oil improves metabolic parameters, increases LA-containing CL species, and improves BAT function when compared to the consumption of lard in mice during diet-induced weight gain.
Gravitational microlensing of the Galactic bulge stars

The optical depth to microlensing on the ordinary disk stars is about 4 x 10 to the -7th for the Galactic bulge stars visible in Baade's window. This means that at any given time one out of about 2.5 {times} 10 to the 6th bulge stars must be brightened by at least 0.3 mag. The duration of events is proportional to the square root of mass of the lensing star, and it is in the range of 1 week to 1 month for the lensing stars of 0.1{minus}1.0 solar mass. The average number of events with the amplitude exceeding 0.3 mag is expected to be about 4 per year per million bulge stars. If there are brown dwarfs in the Galactic disk with masses in the range 0.01{minus}0.1 solar mass, with the total mass density equal to the total mass density of the ordinary stars, then the combined optical depth to microlensing of the bulge stars is about 8 {times} 10 to the -7th, the average number of events with the amplitude exceeding 0.3 mag is expected to be about 17 per year per million bulge stars, and the time scales of events are in the range of 3-20 days.more » 14 refs.« less
