anagement of Red Spider Mite (Tetranychus urticae Koch.) Infesting Marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) in Jammu Region

At present, the world trade of floriculture is worth more than US $ 60 billion. In India, flowers occupied an area of 249 thousand hectares with a production of 2157 thousand metric tonnes during 2015-16 (Anonymous, 2016). Jammu and Kashmir is the most colorful State of the country and is blessed with climatic and geographic conditions that are conducive for producing world class flowers and it’s in this regard that this state is attempting to increase its export base to cater to new markets that would help in creating employment opportunities for the unemployed youth of the state (Khan and Fazili, 2015). Floriculture scenario in Jammu province has changed very rapidly since 2000. The area under commercial floriculture is 233.88 hectors area in Jammu Division with a production of 51453.62 q. More than 1094 registered progressive growers covered under Commercial Floriculture (Anonymous, 2016). Mites’ are among the destructive pests of agri-horticultural crops in many parts of the world. The spider mites’ generally feed on the lower surface of the leaves as a result the infested leaves initially show speckling and later turn yellowish, finally leading to defoliation. The mites’ spread to all parts of International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 6 Number 8 (2017) pp. 168-174 Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas. com
TITLE 11 N Relationship between Environment Change and School Board Expectations of Superintendents ' Decitiion Making

ABSThACT The purpose of this research was to investigate and describe the relationship of environmental change to superintendent-school board decision-making and superintendent turnover. Assuming the resource dependence model of organizational open system theory, researchers hypothesized that the amount of decision-making autonomy boards grant to superintendents and the mobility of superintendents would be related to the amount of turbulence in the community. To gather data for the study, two instruments were developed: (1) a 57-item questionnaire to measure superintendent-board expectations on the relative dependence or independence of the superintendent in various contexts; and (2) a commnity environment questionnaire with 12 questions illustrating im)ortant aspects of the relationship between community characteristics and environmental turbulence. A total of 273 school districts were surveyed with these instruments in 1979 and again in 1983. Data analysis suggests statistically significant relationships between the management process occurring in education (perceptions of superintendents and boards concerning the amount of discretionary authority in decision making that boards should grant to superintendents) and environmental turbulence within the community.
Study on Modification of NaX Zeolites: The Cobalt (II)-Exchange Kinetics and Surface Property Changes under Thermal Treatment

The cobalt (II) ion-exchange process followed the Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption models as well as the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The cobalt-exchanged contents increased when the initial Co(NO3)2 solution concentration increased up to 0.14 mol L−1 at the optimal pH of 6.05. The N2 adsorption isotherms are mixed types I/II isotherms and H3 type hysteresis. Both the micropore and mesopore adsorptions occurred during the adsorption process. The modification, which is both the cobalt (II) exchange and thermal treatment, significantly improved the surface properties of NaX zeolites. Accordingly, the optimal temperature range is 500 to 600°C for a thermal treatment. This is consistent with the results of XRD analysis.
ANALYSIS OF GENETIC STABILITY IN THE ex vitro ROOTED MICROCUTTINGS OF BLUEBERRY (Vaccinium corymbosum L.)

During plant propagation changes in genetic stabilit y may occur, not only during the in vitro multiplication but also in the ex vitro conditions in response to the sum of stress factor s affecting plants. It is therefore necessary to evaluate planting material in terms of its genetic stability. The aim of the work was to as sess by the RAPD method genetic stability of the ex vitro rooted blueberry ( Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Bluecrop’ and ‘Duke’) microcuttings. Also an effect of biostimu lator Goteo (0.2%) on rhizogenesis was tested as compared to the auxin indole-3-butyric acid IBA (50 mg·l) applied as water solution and a commercial rooting powder Rhizopon AA containing 1% IBA. All the r ooting stimulators improved the percentage and degree of rooting in blueberry microcuttings. The b iostimulator gave results only slightly poorer than the auxin. Both cultivars were genetically stable and no DNA polymorphism was found between the traditionally propagated stock plants growing in a nursery an d those rooted in vivo, regardless of the rooting enhancer used.
Impact of the Chemical Composition of Pinus radiata Wood on its Physical and Mechanical Properties Following Thermo-Hygromechanical Densification

The thermo-hygromechanical densification process changes the chemical composition and the physical and mechanical properties of wood. The aim of this work was to study the impact of the chemical composition of Pinus radiata wood on its physical and mechanical properties following the thermo-hygromechanical densification process. The samples were initially segregated by lignin content. Density, hardness, modulus of elasticity (MOE), and modulus of rupture (MOR), in addition to lignin, α-cellulose, hemicellulose, and extractive contents, were determined before and after the densification process. The results indicated that densified wood with high initial lignin content had greater rate of increases in density and MOE than wood with lower initial lignin content. Additionally, densified wood with lower initial lignin content had greater rate of increases in hardness. The rate of increase of MOR did not show significant differences within both groups. Carbohydrates present in the control and the densified wood played an important role in the mechanical strength of the final product.
Title Stability and synchronization of discrete-time neural networkswith switching parameters and time-varying delays

This paper is concerned with the problems of exponential stability analysis and synchronization of discretetime switched delayed neural networks. Using the average dwell time approach together with the piecewise Lyapunov function technique, sufficient conditions are proposed to guarantee the exponential stability for the switched neural networks with timedelays. Benefitting from the delay partitioning method and the free-weighting matrix technique, the conservatism of the obtained results is reduced. In addition, the decay estimates are explicitly given and the synchronization problem is solved. The results reported in this paper not only depend upon the delay, but also depend upon the partitioning, which aims at reducing the conservatism. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the usefulness of the derived theoretical results.
The Research of Nanoparticle and Microparticle Hydroxyapatite Amendment in Multiple Heavy Metals Contaminated Soil Remediation

It was believed that when hydroxyapatite (HAP) was used to remediate heavy metal-contaminated soils, its effectiveness seemed likely to be affected by its particle size. In this study, a pot trial was conducted to evaluate the efficiency of two particle sizes of HAP: nanometer particle size of HAP (nHAP) and micrometer particle size of HAP (mHAP) induced metal immobilization in soils. Both mHAP and nHAP were assessed for their ability to reduce lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and chromium (Cr) bioavailability in an artificially metal-contaminated soil. The pakchoi (Brassica chinensis L.) uptake and soil sequential extraction method were used to determine the immobilization and bioavailability of Pb, Zn, Cu, and Cr. The results indicated that both mHAP and nHAP had significant effect on reducing the uptake of Pb, Zn, Cu, and Cr by pakchoi. Furthermore, both mHAP and nHAP were efficient in covering Pb, Zn, Cu, and Cr from nonresidual into residual forms. However, mHAP was superior to nHAP in immobilization of Pb, Zn, Cu, and Cr in metal-contaminated soil and reducing the Pb, Zn, Cu, and Cr utilized by pakchoi. The results suggested that mHAP had the better effect on remediation multiple metal-contaminated soils than nHAP and was more suitable for applying in in situ remediation technology.
Hatchery Steelhead Smolt Release Size Effects on Adult Production and Straying

AbstractStudies have demonstrated higher postrelease survival for larger hatchery steelhead Oncorhynchus mykiss smolts than for smaller ones. However, the ideal release size should also maximize adult returns and minimize interactions of hatchery fish with wild fish. We conducted a study over five release years with paired groups of anadromous hatchery steelhead smolts reared to target sizes of either 90 g (small size) or 113 g (large size). After stream release, we monitored out-migration travel times and survival to a downstream dam using freeze-brand marks in a subsample of each release group. Steelhead smolts that out-migrate quickly may interact less with wild fish. Across all release groups, travel time was about 3 d slower for small-sized smolts than for large ones, but this difference was not statistically significant, and there was no significant difference in the percentage of brands detected at the dam between the two smolt sizes. Coded wire tag recovery was used to compare smolt-to-adult survi.
Small but mighty: headwaters are vital to stream network biodiversity at two levels of organization

Abstract Headwaters (stream orders 1–2) traditionally have been considered depauperate compared to mid-order streams (orders 3–4)—a conclusion that arises from a perception of streams as linear systems and emphasizes change in average &agr; (local) diversity along streams. We hypothesized an opposite pattern for &bgr; (among-site) diversity and suggest that headwaters might account for a large degree of basin-scale biodiversity if considered within the more realistic framework of streams as branching networks. We assembled pre-existing biodiversity data from across the globe to test this hypothesis broadly at the population-genetic (mitochondrial haplotype diversity within species) and community (species/taxonomic diversity) levels, with a focus on macroinvertebrates. We standardized 18 (9 headwater and 9 mid-order) population-genetic and 16 (10 headwater and 6 mid-order) community-level ecoregional data sets from 5 global ecozones for robust comparisons of &bgr;-diversity estimates between the 2 stream-size categories. At the population-genetic level, we applied measures of among-site variation commonly used at both population-genetic (FST and &PHgr;ST) and community (Sørensen's dissimilarity with both presence/absence and abundance data) levels and developed a novel strategy to compare expected rates of loss of &ggr; (regional) diversity as individual sites are eliminated sequentially from regions. At the community level, we limited analyses to Sørensen's presence/absence measures. We found that Sørensen's dissimilarity was significantly greater among headwaters than among mid-order streams at both population-genetic and community levels. We also showed that individual headwater reaches accounted for greater proportions of genetic &ggr; diversity than did mid-order reaches. However, neither FST nor &PHgr;ST was significantly different between stream-size categories. These measures, which have been used traditionally for comparisons of population-genetic variation, measure proportions of total variation rather than solely among-site variation (i.e., they also are influenced by within-site variation). In contrast, Sørensen's dissimilarity measures only among-site variation and, therefore, is presumably more useful for reflecting general &bgr; diversity. Overall results suggest that, on average, headwaters probably contribute disproportionately to biodiversity at the network scale. This finding demands a shift in thinking about the biodiversity contributions of small headwaters and has strong conservation implications for imperiled headwater streams around the world.
SPLASH: the Southern Parkes Large-Area Survey in Hydroxyl – first science from the pilot region

ABSTRACT SPLASH (the Southern Parkes Large-Area Survey in Hydroxyl) is a sensitive, unbiasedand fully-sampled survey of the Southern Galactic Plane and Galactic Centre in allfour ground-state transitions of the hydroxyl (OH) radical. The survey provides a deepcensus of 1612-, 1665-, 1667- and 1720-MHz OH absorption and emission from theGalactic ISM, and is also an unbiased search for maser sources in these transitions.We present here rst results from the SPLASH pilot region, which covers Galacticlongitudes 334  to 344 and latitudes 2 . Di use OH is widely detected in all fourtransitions, with optical depths that are always small (averaged over the Parkes beam),and with departures from LTE common even in the 1665- and 1667-MHz main lines.To a 3˙sensitivity of ˘ 30 mK, we nd no evidence of OH envelopes extending beyondthe CO-bright regions of molecular cloud complexes, and conclude that the similarityof the OH excitation temperature and the level of the continuum background is atleast partly responsible for this. We detect masers and maser candidates in all fourtransitions, approximately 50 per cent of which are new detections. This implies thatSPLASH will produce a substantial increase in the known population of ground-stateOH masers in the Southern Galactic Plane.Key words: Galaxy: disc, ISM: molecules, masers, radio lines: ISM, surveys

INTERNAL CORPORATE VENTURING: A REVIEW OF FIVE DECADES OF LITERATURE

Despite its centrality to a longstanding literature on corporate entrepreneurship, no systematic review of the internal corporate venturing (ICV) literature has (to our knowledge) been published to date. Given the longevity, complexity and dispersed nature of both the ICV phenomenon and its literature, a review appears timely. Using criterion sampling, supplemented by the ancestry method, to identify relevant articles, we content-analyzed 131 articles published between 1963 and 2013. While practice-oriented literature, venture-level analyses, and the use of cross-sectional case methods and surveys have dominated, an increasingly diverse and sophisticated set of theoretical perspectives have been brought to bear on a wide range of themes. The extant set of major themes examined in the ICV literature – i.e. managerial guidelines for conducting ICV; forms of ICV; comparisons of ICV and other venturing modes; the role of ICV in parent company strategy; the impact of venture strategy on ICV outcomes; the impact of organizational context on ICV outcomes; debates concerning the structural separation versus integration of ICV; processes of ICV; and temporal dynamics underlying ICV – show room for building enhanced conceptual and empirical rigor, as well as for continued exploration. In addition, considerable scope exists for exploring new research avenues concerning this challenging and strategically important phenomenon.

Price efficiency and speculative trading in cocoa futures markets

In recent years a number of market participants called into question the efficiency of the price discovery mechanism in commodity futures markets. They believe that speculators move commodity futures markets away from their fundamentals by distorting prices and exacerbating volatility. The smoking gun of these allegations is the empirical observation that speculative buying (selling) precedes movements in the cocoa futures markets. Among soft commodities, the cocoa futures market represents an interesting case study. In the last decades, speculators open interest is increased by nearly 4 times, fuelling the apprehension of practitioners and market analysts. This paper evaluates the efficiency of the price discovery mechanism in cocoa futures markets. Results show that the price discovery mechanism in both LIFFE and NYBOT cocoa futures markets is efficient. In addition, they rule out the existence of any casual relationship between speculative activity and cocoa prices (i.e. level and volatility) at the least for the NYBOT. This evidence supports the hypothesis that successful speculators are reacting quicker than any other market participant to new information emerging from the market. That is why profitable speculative buying (selling) occurs just before the market makes a move.

Average live weight gain and average daily gain was significantly higher (P
Adaptivity of Business Process

Enterprise service bus is a software architecture middleware used for implementing the interaction between software applications in a Service Oriented Architecture. We have developed a strategy to dynamically manage business processes. Administrators of service bus need to reconfigure sites where the business processes are placed. This evolution has to be done during execution of service through the bus. We ensure the availability of process definition. Moreover, business process can also be autonomous. This means a process which is able to move from one site to another one, where the business process engine is installed. This provides another approach to design business process. With our "mobile process migration" template, we separate two concerns, on one side architectural features and on the other side business features. The business process can become mobile between two service busses and we improve the availability of business processes. Keywords-business process; BPEL; orchestration; middleware; message exchange pattern; code migration.
A comparison of experimental measurements and code results to determine flows in the JET SOL

Two reciprocating probe systems, at the same poloidal position at the top of the JET torus but toroidally separated by 180degrees, have been used to measure parallel flow in the scrape-off layer (SOL) of lower single-null, diverted plasmas. One system uses the entrance slit plates of a retarding field analyser to record upstream and downstream flux densities, whilst the second employs two pins of a nine-pin turbulent transport probe. Measurements have been made for both forward and reversed toroidal field directions. The results from both probe systems are similar. In the forward field direction, that is with the ion B x del(B) over right arrow drift direction downwards towards the divertor, a strong parallel flow is measured at the top of the machine in the direction from the outer to the inner divertor. The flow generally has a low value, Mach number M similar to 0.2, close to the separatrix, but rises in the region of high magnetic shear close to the separatrix to a maximum of M similar to 0.5 some 20 mm outside the separatrix. In contrast, for a reversed field, the measured flow is small (close to zero) throughout much of the SOL but rises near the separatrix to a value equal in both magnitude and direction to that observed in the forward field. There is thus some symmetry in the flow with respect to field reversal but with a symmetry axis given by a positive offset of around M similar to 0.2. This paper presents simulations using the EDGE2D/Nimbus code, which predicts very low values of parallel flow Mach number near the probe position. The possibility of impurities released from the probe surfaces increasing the flow velocity is explored using the code.
A comparison study on the combustion and particulate emissions of 2,5-dimethylfuran/diesel and ethanol/diesel in a diesel engine

Compared with pure Diesel fuel, Diesel engine fueled with 2,5-dimethylfuran/ diesel prolonged the ignition delay, shortened the combustion duration, increased the engine efficiency and decreased the number of accumulation mode particles (50 nm < Dp < 1000 nm), but increased the nucleation mode (Dp < 50 nm) number. The mean diameter of particles was declined with 2,5-dimethylfuran addition due to the increase of small particles number. Ethanol/diesel was more effective in extending the ignition delay, shortening the combustion duration, enhancing the engine efficiency and reducing the number of large size particles, but produced more small size particles compared with 2,5-dimethylfuran/diesel.
A Study of Geothermal Heat Pump and Standing Column Well Performance

Standing column wells can be used as highly efficient ground heat exchangers in geothermal heat pump systems, where hydrological and geological conditions are suitable. A numerical model of groundwater flow and heat transfer in and around standing column wells has been developed. This model has been used in a parametric study to identify the most significant design parameters and their effect on well performance. For each case in the study, performance has been evaluated in terms of minimum and maximum annual temperatures and design well depth. Energy consumption and annual costs have also been calculated. Groundwater “bled” from the system is one of the most significant parameters a system designer can use to improve well performance for a given load. The effects of bleed rate, well depth, and rock properties on heat transfer and energy consumption are discussed.
