I Love You, and You, and You Too

Various types of consensual nonmonogamy, such as polyamory and swinging, have been gaining in popular practice and academic interest. At the same time, monogamy has become an increasingly fluid and self-defined state. As a result, a complex and unfamiliar range of relationship agreements can present in relationship therapy. For such work, transactional analysis has offered a limited theoretical framework, which leaves it with an unexamined normative bias toward monogamy and ignorance about consensual nonmonogamy. This leads to the risk of unconscious prejudice, unethical practice, and ineffective treatment. To address these potential problems, the forms of consensual nonmonogamy are described along with some implications for clinical practice, illustrated by a case vignette, and reflections on the impact of these issues for transactional analysis relationship therapists.
Grass plants crop water consumption model in urban parks located in three different climate zones of Turkey

The most important issue is the to use of urban space to increase the number and size of green areas. As well as another important issue is to work towards maintaining these spaces. One such important effort is to meet the water needs of plants. Naturally, the amount of water needed by plants depends on the species. In order to successfully implement modern irrigation techniques in parks, gardens, rest and recreation areas, both direct calculation methods and estimation methods from climate data are used in determining evapotranspiration. In this study, climate elements based Penman-Monteith equation is used to investigate the water consumption, irrigation water need, irrigation interval and irrigation for the grass plant in park areas located in three different climate zones (Antalya, Ankara and Trabzon) in Turkey. The result of calculations, using the climate data of July, value of the province of Antalya were ET o =7,10464 mm/day, for Ankara ET o =6,77215 mm/day, for Trabzon ET o =4,03544 mm/day. The study also reveals the importance of identifying the water consumption needs of plants while preparing irrigation projects. Key words : Irrigation, Penmann-Monteith method, grass plants.
Use of Camera Traps to Examine the Mesopredator Release Hypothesis in a Fragmented Midwestern Landscape

Abstract The mesopredator release hypothesis (MRH) has been suggested as a reason why many mammalian generalist mesopredators flourish and become abundant. However, the MRH has only been examined in a limited number of field studies. Some studies have argued that coyotes (Canis latrans) act as top predators in fragmented forest systems and coyote presence has a positive effect on song bird diversity and abundance by controlling mesopredator abundance. We integrated camera trap data and occupancy modeling to determine the factors that affect coyote detection probability and habitat use in a fragmented suburban landscape in central Missouri. We then examined the influence of coyote presence and other habitat variables on mesopredator detection probability and habitat use in the same system. Coyote detection was negatively related to increasing forest cover, whereas red fox (Vulpes vulpes) detection was positively related to increasing urbanization. Coyote occurrence models suggested little habitat selection, while the mesopredator occurrence models suggested an affinity for urbanization. Although there was a slight negative effect of coyote presence on site use by other mesopredators, we suggest that the smaller species are better adapted to coexisting with humans and thus have increased in abundance.

Action of amorphous silica dusts on the German cockroach Blattella germanica (Linneaus) (Orthoptera: Blattidae)

Adult male German cockroaches were exposed to deposits of amorphous precipitated and pyrogenic silicas in continuous and discontinuous contact bioassays. LC 50 S of precipitated silicas in the former case generally increased with oil adsorption capacity of the dusts; variability in response in discontinuous contact bioassays was apparently due to grooming of appendages following pick-up of dust aggregates. The toxicity of silica deposits in half-treated choice boxes varied with relative humidity and was effectively eliminated at 95% r.h. or when free water was provided. Cockroaches accumulated in the untreated side of the box irrespective of r.h. ; the mechanism of this effect is discussed.
Ferroelasticity

The ferroelastic hysteresis is correlated with the propagation of twin walls under external stress. The wall thickness at T < < Tc varies between 1 nm and 7 nm for different materials. Individual twin walls can act as fast diffusion paths for dopants and lattice imperfections. Several twin walls can combine to form hierarchical structures on a mesoscopic length scale (between, say 10 nm and 100 nm). Their features (needle domains, comb patterns, tweed and tartan patterns) are mainly determined by strain interactions with long correlation lengths. The formation of needle domains often leads to coarsening of the microstructure; their geometrical features are described in some detail.
Longevity of high-yielding cows

Population of Black and White cattle has high genetic potential for production of milk. It exists in very complex production conditions where problems occur which are often manifested in different health disorders, high percentage of culling and short productive life. Longevity parameters are calculated within defined time limits. Bottom limit is determined by date of birth, and top limit by date of culling. The knowledge of the strength of the influence of environment on the longevity of high yielding cows is important from the aspect of its inclusion into the model. According to individual significance of systematic factors, their objective assessment was carried out in order to evaluate the obtained results as precise and correct as possible. Previous studies of the average age of cows at culling from the herd indicated relatively short productive life and life in general of high yielding cows, which due to high percentage of culling effects the herd remount. Consequently selection differential is reduced and in this way realized selection effect is diminished. Objective of this paper was to investigate using appropriate methodology the longevity of high yielding Black and White cows of different genotypes through major systematic influences. Investigated cows according to their origin belong to European type of Black and White cattle in final stage of intensive improvement using Holstein-Friesian breed. Investigated sample included 331 cows. Average age of cows at culling is 2265±463.26 days or 6.21±1.27 years. Observed by cow genotypes, mean values varied from 2140.99 days (> 73% HF), 2247.51 days (58-73% HF) to 2406.97 days (<58% HF). Average lifetime production was realized at the level of 25002.66±7755.39 kg of milk with 3.61±0.01% of milk fat.Bulls, sires of cows, class of HF genes and year of culling had highly significant effect (p≤0.01), whereas the effect of reason for culling was significant (p≤0.05) for life duration of cows.
Phosphorus Budgets for Channel Catfish Ponds Receiving Diets with Different Phosphorus Concentrations

Phosphorus budgets were prepared for channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus ponds at Auburn, Alabama, that received one of five diets ranging from 0.60 to 1.03% phosphorus. Fish production did not differ (P > 0.05) among diets. There were few differences among treatments with respect to soluble reactive phosphorus, total phosphorus, and chlorophyll a concentrations or gross primary productivity. Phosphorus loss in effluents when ponds were drained for harvest did not differ among treatments (P > 0.05). Phosphorus removed from ponds in fish at harvest and the amounts of phosphorus adsorbed by bottom soils increased as dietary phosphorus concentration increased (P < 0.05). Low-phosphorus diets did not decrease phytoplankton productivity or improve effluent quality. Uptake of phosphorus by bottom soils is a major factor controlling phosphorus concentrations in pond water. Low-phosphorus diets can be beneficial in catfish pond management by reducing the phosphorus load to bottom soils and conserving their ability to adsorb phosphorus.
Influence of European corn borer (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) feeding on various stages of field corn in Kansas

The impact of second-generation European corn borer (ECB), Ostrinia nubilalis (Hubner) stalk tunneling on yield reductions in corn, Zea mays L. , was investigated for the Kansasproduction system. The stage of corn development when larval tunneling was initiated, vertical location of larvae on the plant, and number of larvae per plant were variables in the study. The probability of ECB larval occurrence at nodes above ground level was highest on the ear node; larval frequency decreased rapidly as distance increased from the ear node. Acrossall fields, the average probability of larval occurrence per stratum was 18.4, 59.5, and 22.1% for the bottom, middle, and top strata, respectively. A significant negative linear relationship between grain yield and level of infestation in the bottom and middle strata was fitted for all plant stages, with the exception of bottom-dent in 1981 and middle-dough in 1982. No relationship was seen between grain yield and level of infestation in the top stratum regardless of plant stage. The relationship between percentage yield reduction and cumulative corn growing degree-days (GDD) remaining to corn physiological maturity was described using a second-degree polynomial equation. Maximum potential yield reduction as a result of tunneling initiated by third-instar larvae was predicted to occur when ca. 35.7% of the corn GDD remained to physiological maturity. This coincided approximately with initiation of the blister stage. The percentage yield reduction per borer decreased as tunneling was initiated nearer to physiological maturity. Larval tunneling initiated during the pollination period of corn development appeared to have a smaller effect on yield than tunneling initiated near blister stage.
Quantitative chemical imaging of breast calcifications in association with neoplastic processes

Calcifications play an essential role in early breast cancer detection and diagnosis. However, information regarding the chemical composition of calcifications identified on mammography and histology is limited. Detailed spectroscopy reveals an association between the chemical composition of calcifications and breast cancer, warranting the development of novel analytical tools to better define calcification types. Previous investigations average calcification composition across broad tissue sections with no spatially resolved information or provide qualitative visualization, which prevents a robust linking of specific spatially resolved changes in calcification chemistry with the pathologic process. Method: To visualize breast calcification chemical composition at high spatial resolution, we apply hyperspectral stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy to study breast calcifications associated with a spectrum of breast changes ranging from benign to neoplastic processes, including atypical ductal hyperplasia, ductal carcinoma in situ, and invasive ductal carcinoma. The carbonate content of individual breast calcifications is quantified using a simple ratiometric analysis. Results: Our findings reveal that intra-sample calcification carbonate content is closely associated with local pathological processes. Single calcification analysis supports previous studies demonstrating decreasing average carbonate level with increasing malignant potential. Sensitivity and specificity reach >85% when carbonate content level is used as the single differentiator in separating benign from neoplastic processes. However, the average carbonate content is limiting when trying to separate specific diagnostic categories, such as fibroadenoma and invasive ductal carcinoma. Second harmonic generation (SHG) data can provide critical information to bridge this gap. Conclusion: SRS, combined with SHG, can be a valuable tool in better understanding calcifications in carcinogenesis, diagnosis, and possible prognosis. This study not only reveals previously unknown large variations of breast microcalcifications in association with local malignancy but also corroborates the clinical value of linking microcalcification chemistry to breast malignancy. More importantly, it represents an important step in the development of a label-free imaging strategy for breast cancer diagnosis with tremendous potential to address major challenges in diagnostic discordance in pathology.

Characterizing shade tolerance by the relationship between mortality and growth in tree saplings in a southeastern Texas forest

We investigated the relationship between shade tolerance and sapling mortality using data collected over 15 years in a mesic forest in southeastern Texas. Seven species representing a range of shade-tolerance classes were included in the study. We used survival analysis to estimate species-specific sapling mortality risk (hazard) as a function of recent growth. We found that shade-intolerant species had higher mortality risk at zero growth than shade-tolerant species. The results strongly support the point that shade tolerance can be characterized by the relationship between sapling mortality and growth.
Summer dormancy in Dactylis glomerata L.: the influence of season of sowing and a simulated mid-summer storm on two contrasting cultivars

A series of trials to increase understanding of the summer dormancy trait in Dactylis glomerata was conducted. Autumn-sown reproductive and younger, spring-sown plants of 2 drought-resistant cultivars, contrasting for summer dormancy, were established and then tested in summer 2002 under long drought, drought + midsummer storm, or full irrigation. The autumn-sown reproductive plants of cv. Kasbah were summer dormant under all moisture regimes and exhibited the characteristic traits including growth cessation, rapid herbage senescence, and dehydration of surviving organs (-6.7MPa). Cultivar Kasbah used 8% less soil water over the summer and also began to rehydrate its leaf bases from conserved soil water before the drought broke. The non-dormant cv. Medly grew for 10 days longer under drought and whenever moisture was applied; Medly also responded to the storm with a decline in dehydrin expression in leaf bases, whereas no decline occurred in Kasbah, presumably because it remained dormant and therefore much drier. The irrigated, younger, spring-sown swards of cv. Kasbah had restrained growth and produced only about 25% of the herbage of cv. Medly. Drought reduced activity and growth of young plants of both cultivars, but whereas Medly regrew in response to the storm, cv. Kasbah did not, indicating that dormancy, although only partially expressed after spring sowing, was reinforced by summer drought. A longer drought in 2003 caused a 22% loss of the basal cover in cv. Medly, whereas Kasbah fully maintained its sward and therefore produced a higher post-drought autumn yield. This work confirms summer dormancy as a powerful trait for improving persistence over long, dry summers.
Is usability in user experience design all about minimalism?

The importance of usability has increased throughout the last decades. Research has shown that usability is a key factor in how users perceive interactive systems. This perception has an impact on the user experience, whose design aspects try to serve usability. On the other hand, the visual design depends on the aspects of minimalism and therefore correlate with user experience design [Unger and Chandler, 2012]. The aim of the dissertation is to understand the further relation between usability and the principles of minimalism. It will be clariﬁed to what extent good usability is conditioned by minimalism. The following question arises in this work: Is usability in user experience design all about minimalism? In this context, the term usability means ”the eﬀective-ness, eﬃciency and satisfaction with which speciﬁed users achieve speciﬁed goals” [ISO, 2018]. User experience means ”user’s perception and responses that result from the use and/or anticipated use of a system, product or service [ISO, 2018]”, which leads to the fact that user experience design describes the perception of the user of the visual representation of interactive products. Minimalism in this context, is the simpliﬁcation of visual elements [Obendorf, 2009]. Based on the principles outlined in the chapter ”Us-ability, User Experience Design and Minimalism”, a case study was designed to compare the correlation of usability and minimalism between two interactive systems. In both prototypes, minimalistic aspects were used to create the interface for the user. In one prototype, there was more minimalism applied and in the other one less. A usability test was condoned in the form of a questionnaire and an interview. Such a test was implemented to assess the perception of the user towards the prototype. The results showed better usability eﬃciency in favor of the prototype with more minimization. This output implies the importance of minimalism in terms of successful usability. However, the case study also reveals exceptions of minimalism, when the over-use of it lead to the removal of necessary information. Apart from this aspect, it is concluded that it is advisable for creators of interactive systems to always include minimalism when planning usability but ensure a right balance between necessary details in context of the
Comparison of low back mobility and stability exercises from Pilates in non-specific low back pain: A randomized controlled trial

Objectives: Compare the effects of the low back mobility and stability exercises from Pilates Method on low back pain, disability and movement functionality in individuals with non-specific chronic low back pain. Methods: 28 participants were randomized into two exercise protocol from Pilates methods, one focusing on low back stability and other on low back mobility. Low back pain (visual analogic scale), low back disability (Oswestry) and movement functionality (7 functional movement tasks) were evaluated before and after 10 sessions of Pilates exercise by the same trained assessor. A mixed designed ANOVA with two factors was used.

“This paper aims to study the macroeconomic effects of different mortgage policies by banks and related changes in housing prices. The idea is that stricter or looser evaluation criteria for granting mortgages can affect the real economy through the leverage of the household sector and the housing price channel. According to a well-established literature, positive shocks to asset prices improve firm’s borrowing and investments, leading to positive outcomes in the economy (Holmstrom and Tirole (1997) and Kiyotaki and Moore (1997)). Furthermore, the wealth effect of raising housing prices increases aggregate demand and leads to higher production and employment. However, as pointed out in Chakraborty et al. (2013), these arguments are leaving out the potentially negative effect of asset-price (in our case housing-price) increases. The main arguments are related to the crowding out of lending to commercial firms due to the predominance of mortgage loans, or, more in general, a misallocation of resources across sectors which reduces welfare. However, the recent crisis has shown how an asset bubble can increase the financial fragility of the whole economic system with potentially destructive effects when the bubble bursts. In order to address this issue, we consider the problem of housing bubbles as an endogenous mechanism that depends on the characteristics of the economic system and on policy decisions. Our aim is to analyze the transmission channels of the housing bubble and to study how the negative macroeconomic impact could be mitigated or prevented. ”
Health benefits of edible round-fruited types of Cucurbita pepo. a short review

Cucurbita pepo, one of the most popular edible plants, is widely used as functional food and medicinal remedies around the world, due to the presence of numerous biologically active components with interesting nutraceutical properties like carotenoids, hypoglycemic polysaccharides, minerals, pectin, polyphenols, saponins, tocopherols, vitamins, cucurbitacins, various anti-fungal proteins, essential fatty acids, essential and nonessential amino acids, and fibre. The edible round-fruited types of Cucurbita pepo are called pumpkins.
