Effect of times and levels of inoculum of Trichoderma for controlling root rot and collar rot of lentil

The experiments were carried out during 2010 to 2011 to find out the time of application and level of inoculum of T. harzianum for controlling root rot (F. solani) and collar rot (S. rolfsii) of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik). F. solani and S.rolfsii and their antagonist, Trichoderma were collected from different pulses growing areas of Bangladesh. The experiments were carried out following CRD with five replications. Fourteen isolates of Trichoderma were tested against F. solani and S. rolfsii under Dual Culture Technique. The inhibition was ranged from 60.42 to 99.27% at 10 DAI against F. solani and from 64.07–99.41% at 6 DAI against S. rolfsii. The highest inhibition 99.27% against F. solani was found in isolate, Th-2 and 99.41% was found in isolate TG-2 against S. rolfsii. In the pot, the treatment of soil with the Th-2 isolate of T. harzianum at 2g/kg shown the highest germination (96.67%) and plant stand (81.67%) and the lowest root rot (15.52%), where the isolate of TG-2 of T. harzianum at 20g/kg of soil was observed better for controlling S. rolfsii. T. harzianum (Th-2) increased germination (17.86%), plant stand (171.43%), vigour index (33.27%) and yield (260.74%) over control against root rot. T. harzianum (TG-2) also increased germination (248%), plant stand (600%), vigour index (865.91%) and yield (1209.81%) of lentil over control against collar rot. The soil treatment with Trichoderma at 9, 6 and 3 days before sowing and also at the time of sowing showed significantly better effect in increasing germination, plant stand and reducing root rot and collar rot compared to control. The highest germination, seed yield and lower root rot was obtained by treating soil with Trichoderma before 9 days of sowing against both the pathogens.
Stimulating the Market for Pico-hydro in Ecuador.

Providing modern energy services in remote rural areas is often costly and difficult to achieve. However, the availability of reliable energy supplies in rural areas is one of the key components required to help developing countries to meet many of the Millennium Development Goals. Rural communities around the world deserve the opportunity to benefit from their abundant natural resources and have access to modern energy supplies.
Understanding the mechanism of ionic gelation for synthesis of chitosan nanoparticles using qualitative techniques

We focused on qualitatively exploring the basic mechanisms involved in the Ionic gelation (IG) process, a method quite frequently used for synthesis of chitosan (CS) microparticles (MPs) and nanoparticles (NPs). We synthesized CS MPs and NPs using the Ionic gelation and microemulsion methods, and characterized the CS NPs and MPs at different stages of formulation using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and fluorescence microscopy. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) analysis was carried out to confirm effective cross-linking. Moreover, for the first time, we reported the mechanisms of IG technique for CS NP and MP synthesis with qualitative proof: (1) Complex formation of long chain oligomers with polyanions (long beaded structures) (2) cleavages at weak sites on addition of acid (HCl) (3) formation of CS NPs on chain scission.The versatility of IG for the synthesis of CS MPs and NPs was proved and compared with the microemulsion technique, thereby enhancing the wide spectrum of its use in therapeutics and biomedical applications.
Effect of α-Lipoic Acid and α-Tocopherol Acetate Enriched Broiler Diet on Oxidative Stability and Quality of Broiler Leg Meat and Meat Products

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of inclusion of two dietary antioxidants alpha lipoic acid (ALA 25, 75 and 150 mg/kg diet) and alpha-tocopheryl acetate (ATA 200 mg/kg diet) on growth performance, susceptibility to oxidation and quality of leg chicken meat and meat products during storage. A total of 180 broiler birds were randomly divided into 6 groups with 3 replicates of 10 hens each and fed on different diet plan. Body weight gain of broiler birds was decreased with increasing alpha lipoic acid supplementation in feed and Birds in (T2) containing minimum dose of alphalipoic acid (25 mg/kg feed gained more weight 1948.25g whereas T4 containing maximum dose of alpha lipoic acid (150 mg/kg of feed) gained minimum weight i.e. 1691.25 g. The inclusion of alpha-tocopheryl acetate improved body weight gain. The maximum deposition of ALA took place in T4 which contain maximum dose of ALA. The thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) assay and DPPH assay of the broiler leg meat were as in T4 (0.15 ± 0.02 MDA/kg of meat, 76.69 ± 0.14%) and in T5 were (0.25 ± 0.08 MDA/kg of meat, 44.77 ± 0.09%) accordingly. The (HPLC) data revealed that ALA and ATA concentration were highest in T4 (96.54 ± 0.28mg/g of meat, 159.40 ± 0.20 mg/g of meat) and lowest in T5 (17.19 ± 0.12mg/g, 35.86 ± 0.08 mg/g of meat). Sensory results showed that nuggets and patties made of T5 containing oxidize oil were least preferred and T4 got highest score. In a nutshell, 150 mg/kg level feed dietary supplementation of ALA with constant level of ATA can enhanced the antioxidant potential, lipid stability and nutritional qualities of broiler leg meat and meat products.
A SEPARATE OR SHARED SYNTAX: SYNTACTIC PROCESSING IN BILINGUALS

The objective of the present article is to provide, from a psycholinguistic perspective, an overview of the recent literature on bilingual syntactic processing in production and comprehension. More specifically, the article aims at presenting the contributions of the syntactic priming paradigm to the study of syntactic processing in L1 and L2 by reviewing studies conducted in Brazil and abroad. Syntactic priming refers to the facilitated processing of grammatical structure due to some previously processed information or structure and it is a promising tool to study whether syntax is shared or separate in bilinguals. At the cross-linguistic priming level, the studies reviewed report robust syntactic priming effects during production. Overall, studies show cross-linguistic syntactic priming effects on different structures and different language-pairings. Production data suggests links between the L1 and L2 syntactic representations. Comprehension data remains a matter of debate.
EFFECT OF STUDENT MAWR BIAS TOWARD THE IIVTRICTOR ON CLASSROOM MANAGENEAT AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL

A study was done of high school students' perceptions of gender bias on classroom management. Using an 8-item survey instrument developed from ideas presented by several classroom management experts and teachers, 198 female and 156 male high school students were surveyed. Students rated two teachers, identified only by gender, on each survey item. The students chose teachers who they felt fit the instrument's description of having a well-disciplined class. The results indicate that female teachers were more likely to be chosen as effective disciplinarians by female students, and male teachers were more likely to be chosen by male students. Female teachers were rated higher than were male teachers on four survey items. Male instructors were rated higher than female teachers on only one item. Female instructors were rated equal to or higher than male instructors on seven survey items. Also, the number of female teachers chosen as effective disciplinarians increased at each grade level. The only negative for female teachers discovered by this study was the belief that women are more likely to become frustrated than men. Included are copies of a letter to teachers, the survey instrument, and 26 references.

Double power series method for approximating cosmological perturbations

We introduce a double power series method for finding approximate analytical solutions for systems of differential equations commonly found in cosmological perturbation theory. The method was set out, in a non-cosmological context, by Feshchenko, Shkil' and Nikolenko (FSN) in 1966, and is applicable to cases where perturbations are on sub-horizon scales. The FSN method is essentially an extension of the well known Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) method for finding approximate analytical solutions for ordinary differential equations. The FSN method is well suited for solving systems of linear second order ordinary differential equations, that also depend on a small parameter, which here we take to be the inverse wave-number. We use the FSN method to find new approximate oscillating solutions in linear order cosmological perturbation theory for a flat radiation-matter universe. Together with this model's well known growing and decaying M\'esz\'aros solutions, these oscillating modes provide a complete set of sub-horizon approximations for the metric potential, radiation and matter perturbations. Comparison with numerical solutions of the perturbation equations shows that our approximations can be made accurate to within a typical error of 1%, or better. We also set out a heuristic method for error estimation. A Mathematica notebook which implements the double power series method is made available online.
IPv6 Enabled Smart Home Using Arduino

Internet of Things (IoT) is a widely emerging technology making our lives smarter with smart applications. One of its applications is smart home where any device or object at home can be made smart and can be controlled via internet or in a local network. All recent projects in smart home are using IPv4 for addressing, as we know IPv4 addresses are getting depleted at faster rate as there is increase in connected devices. This problem of IPv4 depletion can be solved by using IPv6 protocol for addressing. IPv6 protocol stack can’t be embedded directly into the microcontroller as microcontroller has limited hardware capability to run existing IPv6 protocol stack. This paper proposes a solution to build a smart control centre with Arduino yun to facilitate IPv6 addressing then using this smart control centre to control devices over wifi interface through web browser on laptops, desktops and smart phones.

Ambient Assisted Living: Benefits and Barriers From a User-Centered Perspective

Older adults have a growing desire to remain independent and age in their own home environment. Policy makers support this wish, as the quality and quantity of institutional care cannot be guaranteed with the present health care budget. Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) technologies can meet the interests of both parties, by facilitating healthy and active aging in the home environment. However, those technologies are still in their infancy and the likelihood of their adoption remains uncertain. By conducting a literature study and a user-requirement study for a conceptual AAL application called SONOPA (Social Networks for Older Adults to Promote an Active Life), benefits and barriers to the adoption of AAL technologies, as perceived by the elderly user, were identified. The user-requirement study consisted of focus groups and interviews with older adults and elder care professionals, conducted in the UK, France and Belgium. Together, the literature study and the user-requirement study led to several design guidelines which direct the future development process of SONOPA and related AAL applications.
Implementation of synchronous frame harmonic control for high-performance AC power supplies

In order to achieve the reduction of voltage distortion in AC power supplies, this paper describes an implementation of synchronous frame control for selected frequencies in the output voltage. The regulation of the fundamental output voltage, as well as of some low-order harmonics, is achieved using a synchronous frame controller for each selected frequency in addition to a conventional control. The conventional part conserves good dynamic performance under load changes, while rotating frame controllers allow a slow, but very precise compensation of the residual errors within the assumption that the harmonics produced by distorting load are slowly-varying. Moreover, motivated by a fixed-point implementation, a set of refinements and modifications of the original scheme is proposed, allowing a reduction of signal processing requirements and a new control algorithm structure less sensitive to quantization and rounding errors. This solution is particularly effective for high-power fully-digital controlled AC power supplies, where the voltage loop bandwidth is usually not large enough to provide regulation at harmonic frequencies. The proposed control scheme has been implemented using a fired-point single-chip digital signal professor (ADMC401 by Analog Devices). Experimental results on a 3 kVA three-phase converter prototype show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
THE MARKET PRESENCE OF IT APPLICATIONS

Information technology (IT) offers an ever expanding array of uses in modern business and, as such, management at all levels is focused on the implementation of IT applications. In order to examine the current state of the market presence of IT applications, a survey of companies in North America was conducted to assess the implementation levels of their IT applications. Based on the results of the survey, this paper documents a set of benchmarks that show the current status of the IT applications market presence of both: conventional information systems and enterprise information systems.
Relaciones entre la prosodia y la sintaxis en el procesamiento de oraciones

Las oraciones de relativo con doble antecedente nominal constituyen un caso ampliamente ilustrado de ambiguedad de adjuncion. Los estudios psicolinguisticos sobre estas oraciones en castellano han mostrado una preferencia hacia la adjuncion alta en la resolucion de esta ambiguedad. En el presente articulo se estudia la contribucion de la prosodia en el procesamiento de oraciones ambiguas y no ambiguas con este tipo de estructura. En el se describen dos experimentos, uno de produccion y otro de comprension de oraciones, en los que se manipularon y analizaron parametros prosodicos temporales (duracion o longitud de pausas y constituyentes sintacticos) y frecuenciales (contornos de entonacion). En ambos experimentos se efectuaba una desambiguacion prosodica de las oraciones ambiguas. Los resultados muestran que la informacion temporal (en particular, la duracion de las pausas y del segundo antecedente nominal de la clausula de relativo) parece ser clave en la produccion y comprension de estos enunciados, y se emplea como principal indicio del tipo de adjuncion de la clausula de relativo. En cambio, las variaciones de la frecuencia fundamental desempenan un papel menos claro,y en todo caso secundario, en la resolucion de la ambiguedad oracional. Por ultimo, la longitud de la clausula de relativo, otro parametro prosodico temporal, ejerce una influencia limitada en el procesamiento de este tipo de oraciones.
Superconformal baryon-meson symmetry and light-front holographic QCD

We construct an effective QCD light-front Hamiltonian for both mesons and baryons in the chiral limit based on the generalized supercharges of a superconformal graded algebra. The superconformal construction is shown to be equivalent to a semi-classical approximation to light-front QCD and its embedding in AdS space. The specific breaking of conformal invariance inside the graded algebra uniquely determines the effective confinement potential. The generalized supercharges connect the baryon and meson spectra to each other in a remarkable manner. In particular, the π/b1 Regge trajectory is identified as the superpartner of the nucleon trajectory. However, the lowest-lying state on this trajectory, the π-meson is massless in the chiral limit and has no supersymmetric partner.
Identifying Experts from Interaction Behaviour

The interaction behaviours of successful, high-achieving learners when using a Learning Management System (LMS) are different than the behaviours of learners who are having more difficulty mastering the course material. This paper explores the idea that conventional Learning Management Systems can exploit data mining techniques to predict the success or failure of students without requiring the results of formal assessments. This paper describes a study with a second semester computer science class that shows that the success or failure of a learner can be predicted using information about learner interactions with course materials and learner self-reports of subject matter confidence.
Investigation of released CO2 and consumed energy for two different usages of electrified vehicles of various levels, operating in service situations

This report aims to study the possible implementation of electrified vehicles in two specific but differently demanding service situations; Hemtjansten & Flexlinjen. The study included not only different petrol mixes with ethanol; 95% and 90% petrol, but also several electricity mixes where the denotation Worst symbolises Scandinavian Electricity mix and Ultimate is what could be produced in the future (100% hydro power). The study reveals that the more electricity used the less CO2 emissions (g/km). If using a hybrid electric vehicle in Hemtjansten instead of a fuel operated vehicle the reduction of CO2 emissions is more than 41%, a remarkable save of more than 1000 kg of CO2 per year. If Hemtjansten instead would use a battery electric vehicle the reduction would be almost 50% even considering the, for Sweden, worst possible electricity mix with burning fossils. There is an almost 90% reduction in CO2 emissions (more than 2000 kg/year) for the upper range of Sweden’s electricity median. For Flexlinjen, the gains are similar, although proposed emission level regulations will be harder to lie under.
EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF NORMOBARIC HYPEROXIA PRETREATMENT ON ISCHEMIA-REPERFUSION INJURY IN A REGIONAL ISCHEMIA MODEL USING ISOLATED RAT HEART

Introduction: Recent studies have shown beneficial effects of hyperoxia pretreatment (HOP) against ischemiareperfusion injury in different organs. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of early and late phases of preconditioning induced by normobaric hyperoxia (≥ 95% O2) on ischemia-reperfusion injury in isolated rat heart. Methods: Following 60 and 180 minutes of hyperoxia, rat hearts were isolated immediately (HOP60 and HOP180) or after 24 hours (HOP60/24 and HOP180/24), and were subjected to 30 minutes of regional ischemia followed by 120 minutes of reperfusion. Incidence and severity of ventricular arrhythmias, mechanical function of the heart and coronary flow were assessed during 120 min of reperfusion. LDH and CK release into the coronary effluent were measured. Infarct size also was calculated by triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining at the end of reperfusion. Results: Incidence and severity of reperfusion arrhythmias were significantly reduced after hyperoxia pretreatment, especially in the early phase of treatment. Hyperoxia improves mycardial contractile function and decreases coronary flow reduction during reperfusion. Infarct size and enzymes release were also significantly decreased in the early and late phases of hyperoxia pretreatment. Conclusion: These results indicate that hyperoxia pretreatment before induction of regional heart ischemia reduces cardiac infarct size and attenuates reperfusion induced arrhythmias in isolated rat heart.
Interactive comment on “Sensitivity of black carbon concentrations and climate impact to aging and scavenging” by Marianne T. Lund et al

The authors conducted comprehensive model sensitivity simulations to investigate the impact of BC aging and scavenging on BC concentrations and radiative forcing by evaluating model results with observations over the Arctic and remote Pacific oceans. This study could improve our understanding of how some key processes affect global BC simulation and associated radiative forcing. I have three short comments.
Effect of Various Dietary Fats on Fatty Acid Profile in Duck Liver: Efficient 1 Conversion of Short-chain to Long-chain Omega-3 Fatty Acids 2

12 Omega-3 fatty acids, especially long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, have been associated 13 with potential health benefits for chronic disease prevention. Our previous studies found 14 that dietary omega-3 fatty acids could accumulate in the meat and eggs in a duck model. 15 This study was to reveal the effects of various dietary fats on fatty acid profile and 16 conversion of omega-3 fatty acids in duck liver. Female Shan Partridge Ducks were 17 randomly assigned to five dietary treatments, each consisting of 6 replicates of 30 birds. 18 The experimental diets substituted the basal diet by 2% of flaxseed oil, rapeseed oil, beef 19 tallow, or fish oil, respectively. In addition, a dose response study was further conducted 20 for flaxseed and fish oil diets at 0.5%, 1%, and 2%, respectively. At the end of the 5-week 21 treatment, fatty acids were extracted from the liver samples and analyzed by GC-FID. As 22 expected, the total omega-3 fatty acids and the ratio of total omega-3/omega-6 23 significantly increased in both flaxseed and fish oil groups when compared with the 24 control diet. No significant change of total saturated fatty acids or omega-3 fatty acids 25 was found in both rapeseed and beef tallow groups. The dose-response study further 26 indicated that 59-81% of the short-chain omega-3 ALA in flaxseed oil-fed group was 27 efficiently converted to long-chain DHA in the duck liver, whereas 1% of dietary flaxseed 28 oil could produce an equivalent level of DHA as 0.5% of dietary fish oil. The more 29 omega-3 fatty acids, the less omega-6 fatty acids in the duck liver. Taken together, this 30 study showed the fatty acid profiling in the duck liver after various dietary fat 31 consumption, provided insight into a dose response change of omega-3 fatty acids, 32 indicated an efficient conversion of shortto long-chain omega-3 fatty acid, and 33 suggested alternative long-chain omega-3 fatty acid-enriched duck products for human 34
