Economical Analysis of BioChemical Fertilizers Usage on Corn yield under three different Irrigation Regimes

Nowadays, Mycorrhizal fungi are widely used due to their symbiosis relation with roots of so many plants. These fungi, by supplying some of plant nutritional and water requirements, have a key role in all ecosystems. In this research the economic analysis of the effects of mycorrhizal fungi and different levels of phosphorous chemical fertilizers on yield and nutrient uptake under three levels of irrigation were studied. This experiment was performed in a split factorial design with four replications. Irrigation under three levels of irrigation (60,120 and180 mm according to class A vapor basin) were placed in the main plots at different levels of phosphorus (0, 60 and 120 kg/ha) and mycorrhizal fungi (6 g per seed) were placed in the subplots. The results indicated that the effects of Mycorrhizal inoculation were statistically significant and positive on measured characteristics. Among triple interactions irrigation/chemical phosphorus/mycorrhizal inoculation had significant effects in A2P60G 4883 kg/ha) on grain yield and Results showed that in moderate water stress, by using proper amount of chemical phosphorus and mycorrhizal inoculation can increase in grain yield and by decreasing in total costs as economical view can be increase in income. Moreover, under water stress, mycorrhizal inoculation improved most of measured indexes. Regard to cost table for planting until harvesting period of produce for corn (table 1) with less using of chemical fertilizer and increasing in period of irrigation instead of 1 week to 2 week also show in this research we can less expenditure produce for increasing in produce potential and proper method to produce more healthy food. Treatments a2p60G, a2p120G, a1p60Gwere in a statistical group and had higher grain yield than other treatments. Regard to cost table for planting until harvesting period of produce for corn (table 1) with less using of chemical fertilizer and increasing in period of irrigation instead of 1 week to 2 week also show in this research we can less expenditure produce for increasing in produce potential and proper method to produce more healthy food. Treatments a2p60G, a2p120G, a1p60G were in a statistical group and had higher grain yield than other treatments, given the high cost in compare irrigation in 14 days, favorable treatment and diagnosis a2p60G is introduced therefore this kind of bio fertilizer with proper amount of chemical fertilizers by decreasing in total produce costs can have an important key role in agriculture of arid and semiarid climates.
Nonstationarity in Time Series of State Densities1

This paper proposes a new framework to analyze the nonstationarity in the time series of state densities, representing either cross-sectional or intra-period distributions of some underlying economic variables. We regard each state density as a realization of Hilbertian random variable, and use a functional time series model to fit a given time series of state densities. This allows us to explore various sources of the nonstationarity of such time series. The potential unit roots are identified through functional principal component analysis, and subsequently tested by the generalized eigenvalues of leading components of normalized estimated variance operator. The asymptotic null distribution of the test statistic is obtained and tabulated. We use the methodology developed in the paper to investigate the state densities given by the cross-sectional distributions of individual earnings and the intra-month distributions of stock returns. We find some clear evidence for the presence of strong persistency in their time series.

Nanowire Fabrication in Porous Alumina Tempalets Produced by Employing Sulphuric, Oxalic and Phosphoric Acids

We report the growth of silver nanowires with varying diameters in porous anodic aluminum-oxide (AAO) membranes by using the electroless deposition approach. This objective is carried out in 2 phases. In Phase 1, AAO membranes on high purity aluminum foils are electrochemically grown by a double anodization procedure. Three different electrolytes, sulphuric acid (H2SO4), oxalic acid (H2C2O4) and phosphoric acid (H3PO4), are employed to produce membranes with varying pore diameters. Other parameters such as interpore distance, barrier layer thickness and membrane thickness are also explored. In addition, characterization to modify the pore diameter and open the barrier layer of free standing AAO templates has been carried out. In Phase 2, metallic silver nanowires are grown by electroless deposition inside pores with varying diameters in AAO membranes. AAO membranes immersed in aqueous silver nitrate solutions are thermally reduced, and the resulting silver nanowires are characterized by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM).
Identification of Pintail Snipe and Swinhoe's Snipe

Differences between Pintail Snipe Gallinago stenura and Swinhoe's Snipe G. megala have been overstated in past literature. Data gained from birds trapped for ringing in Hong Kong indicate that body weight and wing, tail and bill lengths overlap considerably, making these characters of limited use in separation of the two species. Furthermore, both species share almost identical plumage patterns with no consistent differences. Positive identification relies upon the number of rectrices in the tail, and individual tail-feather shape. Field identification using supposedly established characters has oversimplified the extreme difficulties which observers face. Separation of the two species based on size and structure, even if both are together for direct comparison, is not possible in most cases, unless the diagnostic shape of the outer tail feathers is visible.Vocal differences suggest that the flight calls may be species-specific but further research is required to establish this.
THE EFFECT OF HEPATITIS C VIRUS INFECTION ON INSULIN RESISTANCE IN CHRONIC HEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS

Hepatitis C virus infection has strong relationship with insulin resistance in general population. Insulin resistance increases risk of cardiovascular events in chronic kidney disease patients.This work is intended to study the interrelation between Hepatitis C virus infection and insulin resistance among end stage renal disease patients on regular hemodialysis. Methods: It included a total number of 90 subjects. They were divided into two groups: Group 1 (45 subjects Hepatitis C viruspositivepatientson regular hemodialysis), Group 2 (45 subjects Hepatitis C virusnegative patients on regular hemodialysis). All patients included in this study were subjected to the following: Full clinical assessment,Complete blood picture, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, creatinine, blood urea, fasting plasma glucose, Coagulation profile, serum calcium, serum phosphorus, serum parathyroid hormone, Hepatitis C virusantibodies, human immunodeficiency virus antibodies, hepatitis surface antigen, fasting serum insulin and fasting serum C-peptide. Results: Our study reported that no statically significant difference in Homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance between the two studied groups. Homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance has significant correlation to age, weight, body mass index,serum parathyroid hormone, serum creatinine, urea reduction ratio and serum ferritin. Conclusion: We couldn’t detect any strong correlation between Hepatitis C virus seropositivity and insulin resistance in hemodialysis patients, but we detected strong relationship of insulin resistance to age, weight, body mass index, serum parathyroid hormone, serum creatinine, urea reduction ratio and serum ferritin in hemodialysis patients. Keywords: Insulin resistance, Hepat
Nutritional value and mineral composition of grain of selected wheat species depending on the intensity of a production technology.

The test material originated from a field experiment conducted in 2010-2013, at the Experimental Farm in Felin (51°22’ N, 22°64’ E), which belongs to the University if Life Sciences in Lublin. A two-factor experiment was conducted in randomised blocks with 4 replicates. The chemical composition of grain of 4 wheat species was analysed: common wheat (Triticum aestivum ssp. aestivum L.) cv. Tonacja, durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) cv. Komnata, spelt (Triticum aestivum ssp. spelta (L.) Thell. ) cv. Schwabenkorn, and einkorn wheat (Triticum monococcum L.) line PL 5003 (material acquired from the National Centre of the Plant Gene Pool), grown at different production technology intensity (medium and high level of cultivation technology). The analyses on wheat grain included the content of total protein, crude ash, crude fat, crude fibre, carbohydrates, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, copper, iron, manganese and zinc. The results were subjected to an analysis of variance, while the differences were estimated by the Tukey’s test at the significance level of p = 0.05. In order to identify the correlations and relationships between selected grain quality traits, an analysis of multiple correlation was employed and coefficients of variation were calculated (CV, %). Einkorn wheat proved to have the highest levels of protein, fat, ash, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, copper, zinc, iron and manganese. Among the remaining genotypes, common wheat had the highest levels of carbohydrates and fibre. Irrespective of the genotype, more intensive chemical weed and pest control and nitrogen fertilisation had a favourable effect dr hab.

The Relationship between Marketing Network Processes (MNPs), Strategic Marketing Planning (SMP) and SMEs' Performance

Researchers that investigate the competitive advantage of SMEs have constantly emphasized the significance of strategic planning, marketing, and entrepreneurship as critical factors in business survival and growth. In addition, it has been widely acknowledged that SMEs need to develop a suitable marketing framework and networking is a useful way for SME owner/managers to expand marketing expertise and improve their performance. In this paper, regarding the analytical construct of SMEs' marketing networks, the authors propose that three dimensions of marketing network processes (structural dimension, relational dimension and usage dimension) as important factors that have impact on SMEs' performance and their strategic marketing activities. In this study, through literature review, a model will be conceptualized by hypothesizing the relationship between three dimensions of marketing network processes (MNPs) with SMP and SMEs' performance. In addition, based on literature review we consider the role of some contextual variables that have effect on strategic planning and performance relationship in the SME's context. Researchers believe that to build a model for MNPs-SMP-Performance relationship will be beneficial because it will provide some information for developing suitable marketing framework and improving SMEs' performance as a seed-bed for the country's economic growth.
Stable carbon isotope evidence for coupling between sedimentary bacteria and seagrasses in a sub-tropical lagoon

We measured stable carbon isotope ratios (δ 13 C) in phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs) to identify the primary carbon source utilized by sedimentary bacteria in Lower Laguna Madre, Texas, which is a seagrass dominated lagoon. Comparisons were made between 3 differing habitat types consisting of a bare area, a transitional area, and a vegetated area. Using PLFA concentrations, we estimated that bacterial abundance was significantly higher in the vegetated habitat compared with bare or transitional habitats. Seagrass Thalassia testudinum above-ground tissues averaged -10.8 ± 0.3‰ and benthic microalgae, based on 20:5∆3 PLFA, averaged -20.5 ± 0.6‰. The δ 13 C of total organic carbon (TO 13 C) from all habitats and depths were within ±2 ‰ of T. testudinum above- ground tissues, suggesting that the majority of sedimentary organic carbon originated from this source. The δ 13 C of the ubiquitous 16:0 PLFA indicated more complexity in surface vegetated sedi- ments and at depth (ca. 19 cm) in bare and transitional habitats. In turn, the δ 13 C of branched, iso- and anteiso-15:0 (i&a15:0) PLFAs found only in bacteria were within ±3‰ of TO 13 C in all habitats and at all depths. Our work confirmed coupling between sedimentary bacteria and seagrasses occurs in oligotrophic systems with few allochthonous inputs.
Stochastic Primal-Dual Coordinate Method for Nonlinear Convex Cone Programs

Block coordinate descent (BCD) methods and their variants have been widely used in coping with large-scale nonconstrained optimization problems in many fields such as imaging processing, machine learning, compress sensing and so on. For problem with coupling constraints, Nonlinear convex cone programs (NCCP) are important problems with many practical applications, but these problems are hard to solve by using existing block coordinate type methods. This paper introduces a stochastic primal-dual coordinate (SPDC) method for solving large-scale NCCP. In this method, we randomly choose a block of variables based on the uniform distribution. The linearization and Bregman-like function (core function) to that randomly selected block allow us to get simple parallel primal-dual decomposition for NCCP. The sequence generated by our algorithm is proved almost surely converge to an optimal solution of primal problem. Two types of convergence rate with different probability (almost surely and expected) are also obtained. The probability complexity bound is also derived in this paper.
Interpersonal Distances are the Consequence of the Self-organization of Human Spatial Behavior: A Theoretical Study Based on Synergetics

It is well documented that humans position themselves at preferred distances with respect to others. The distances characterizing human spatial behavior are known to depend on the social interactions between the actors and their dyadic partners. A quantitative model that predicts interpersonal distances and is based on the concept of the self-organization of human spatial behavior has been missing in the literature. In the present study such a model is derived within the framework of synergetics, a theory of self-organization. The model corresponds to an evolution equation for the variations of interpersonal distance over time. In line with the equilibrium point hypothesis of interpersonal distances discussed in the literature, preferred distances are represented by the fixed points of the proposed evolution equation. In this context, it is argued that the adjustment of an actor from a personal to an intimate inter- personal distance can be considered as a subcritical pitchfork bifurcation. As a by-product of the proposed theoretical approach, the notion is supported that interpersonal distances are body-scaled.
An Experimental Study of Selected Methods towards Achieving 100% Recall of Synonyms in Software Requirements Documents

Software requirements documents written in natural language need to avoid the use of synonyms to reduce unnecessary confusion and ambiguity. In practice, synonyms are still common and are widely used in requirements documents. Lots of tools to identify synonyms have been developed. To evaluate these tools, two metrics are often used: recall and precision. Recall is the ratio of the number of relevant records retrieved to the total number of relevant records in the document. Precision is the fraction of retrieved records that are relevant. Industry practice leads us to believe that 100% recall is preferred over 100% precision for such tools. Available tools never actually achieve 100% recall. The goal of this thesis is to explore computational methods that could reach 100% recall in extracting synonyms from software requirements documents. This thesis compares six WordNet-based methods and two context-based algorithmic approaches to extract synonyms from two different types of requirement documents. The eight methods were compared by their recall. The experiments results showed that the word co-occurrence-based method achieved the best recall in identifying synonyms of the software requirements documents. Further experiments showed that setting the parameters of the word co-occurrence-based method impacts the results of the experiments as well. The thesis also discusses potential issues of the word co-occurrence-based method in the design of the experiments. The document author’s personal factors could influence the experiment results, but this influence can be avoided with careful design.

Video-based face recognition in color space by graph-based discriminant analysis

Video-based face recognition has attracted significant attention in many applications such as media technology, network security, human-machine interfaces, and automatic access control system in the past decade. The usual way for face recognition is based upon the grayscale image produced by combining the three color component images. In this work, we consider grayscale image as well as color space in the recognition process. For key frame extractions from a video sequence, the input video is converted to a number of clusters, each of which acts as a linear subspace. The center of each cluster is considered as the cluster representative. Also in this work, for comparing the key frames, the three popular color spaces RGB, YCbCr, and HSV are used for mathematical representation, and the graph-based discriminant analysis is applied for the recognition process. It is also shown that by introducing the intra-class and inter-class similarity graphs to the color space, the problem is changed to determining the color component combination vector and mapping matrix. We introduce an iterative algorithm to simultaneously determine the optimum above vector and matrix. Finally, the results of the three color spaces and grayscale image are compared with those obtained from other available methods. Our experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Optics of the eye and its impact in vision: a tutorial

The human eye is a relatively simple optical instrument. This limits the quality of the retinal image affecting vision. However, the neural circuitry seems to be exquisitely designed to match the otherwise limited optical capabilities, providing an exceptional quality of vision. In this tutorial article, the main characteristics of the eye’s geometry and optics will first be reviewed. Then, their impact on vision under a variety of normal conditions will be discussed. The information gathered here should serve both those readers interested in basic vision and physiological optics and those more interested in related applications. © 2014 Optical Society of America
Competing Effects of Elevated Vertical Mixing and Increased Freshwater Input on the Stratification and Sea Ice Cover in a Changing Arctic Ocean

AbstractThe Arctic Ocean is undergoing a period of rapid transition. Freshwater input is projected to increase, and the decline in Arctic sea ice is likely to drive periodic increases in vertical mixing during ice-free periods. Here, a 1D model of the Arctic Ocean is used to explore how these competing processes will affect the stratification, the stability of the cold halocline, and the sea ice cover at the surface. Initially, stronger shear leads to elevated vertical mixing that causes the mixed layer to warm. The change in temperature, however, is too small to affect the sea ice cover. Most importantly, in the Eurasian Basin, the elevated shear also deepens the halocline and strengthens the stratification over the Atlantic Water thermocline, reducing the vertical heat flux. After about a decade this effect dominates, and the mixed layer begins to cool. The sea ice cover can only be significantly affected if the elevated mixing is sufficient to erode the stratification barrier associated with the cold h.
