Effect of IBA and PHB on roots and shoots of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) cuttings cv. Ganesh

In order to study the effect of IBA and PHB on rooting and shooting of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) cuttings an investigation was conducted at the nursery of Department of Horticulture, Khalsa College, and Amritsar during 2015-2016. Seven treatments were used comprising of IBA (500ppm, 1000ppm) and PHB (500 ppm, 750 ppm), their combinations IBA 500 ppm + PHB 500 ppm and IBA 1000 ppm + PHB 750 ppm along with control. The results of the investigation indicated that IBA 1000 ppm + PHB 750 ppm proved to be the best in terms of maximum percentage of sprouted cuttings (86.40%), survival percentage (86.73%), number of shoots (7.71), average shoot diameter (1.29cm), number of leaves (126.00), total leaf area (259.48 cm²), maximum number of roots (24.65), maximum root length (15.40cm) and maximum root weight (2.4 g).
Employment in privatised utilities: A higher risk of precariousness?

This paper explores the risk of precarious work in privatised utilities, based on data analysis and literature review. It examines the history of privatisation of utilities in the EU including programme countries and the impact that this has had on levels of employment. Moreover, it presents a range of measures to cushion adverse effects. This document was prepared by Policy Department A at the request of the Employment and Social Affairs Committee.

ENVIRONMENTAL CORRELATES OF CETACEAN MASS STRANDING SITES IN FLORIDA

The cause(s) of cetacean strandings remain uncertain, and though numeroustheories abound, relatively few are supported by substantial evidence. Massstrandings (i.e., more than two animals of the same species) can span one or moredays and range over miles of shoreline (Walsh et al. 2001). Recent explanations forsuch strandings include bottom topography, coastal conﬁguration, or geomagnetictopography; meteorological or oceanographic events; extreme conditions in theenvironment; auditory trauma; toxicity of pollutants in the environment; andparasitism (Perrin and Geraci 2002). Contributory factors may also include unusualtides, sea state, nature of the adjacent seaﬂoor, and meteorological events such aselectrical storms (Warneke 1983). It is important not to make generalizations aboutthecauses of mass strandings(Odell1987). Althoughmany strandingsmaybe duetoa common cause, others may simply be a result of experiencing conditions for whicha group of animals was not prepared. A stranding may also reﬂect prior events whilethe animals were some distance out to sea (Best 1982; Walsh et al. 1991, 2001). One factor that has not been examined in depth is the effect of seasonalenvironmental parameters on the frequency of mass strandings. The effect of windon nearshore oceanic circulation is highly variable and also changes between andwithin seasons. The effects of wind-forcing on across-shelf ocean circulation havebeen noted as an important aspect of the ocean environment and shelf dynamics(Lentz 2001, Fiedler 2002). Although it is unlikely that wind alone could causea mass stranding, the wind does inﬂuence across-shelf exchange and water masscharacteristics. This may affect prey assemblages, and in turn inﬂuence cetaceans.Wind-driven transport in the near-surface water layer is deﬂected by the Coriolisforce at 908 to the right in the northern hemisphere (Ekman transport).

Diversity in the local radio and the recording industry in Greece

This paper presents an exploratory study on content diversity in the local music radio and the recording industry in a small media market (Greece) analyzing the most heavily promoted output in a short period of time. It is the first study for the Greek case based on primary data and focuses on supplied diversity. A sample of 563 songs aired most often by 57 stations dispersed in 28 regions of the country is analyzed considering variety, balance, and disparity as properties of diversity. The Simpson’s D index, the Lorenz curve, and the Gini coefficient, have been used. To compare with the repertoire promoted by the recording industry, the charts published by the Greek branch of the IFPI before, during, and after the broadcast period, were used. Analysis shows that although there is no significant correlation between the content promoted by the local music radio and the recording industry in terms of artists and albums, both media are very close in terms of lower diversity of genres, languages and countries represented in their repertoires. In this respect, a clear indication that various communities are inadequately served, was found. Nevertheless, diversity in the charts – i.e. in a far more concentrated industry – is larger. As this is an exploratory study, the limitations and the directions for future research are also discussed. Introduction and background Content diversity is an important issue for media regulators, industry practitioners and theorists not only in terms of pluralism and democracy, but also in terms of market competition, innovation and development. This is why not only there are numerous academic studies and analyzes, but also relevant clauses in the legislation of most countries, including Greece, as well as in international treaties and conventions of supranational and international organizations. Despite the importance of this issue, however, to date there is no systematic research on the Greek case considering radio, especially after privatization in 1987. Some researchers (e.g. Vasilaki, Andriopoulou & Gazi, 2006) analyze the main stages in the development of radio content after privatization, based on secondary data.

The Effect of Methionine Sulphoximine on the Absorption of Ammonium by Maize and Barley Roots over Short Periods

Pre-treating intact, ammonium-grown plants of maize and barley with the glutamine synthetase inhibitor, L-methionine sulphoximine (MSO), increased subsequent accumulation of 13 N or 15 N from labelled ammonium very markedly-up to 8-fold in extreme cases. The phenonemon could not be satisfactorily explained in terms of an effect of MSO on the cation-exchange properties of the root free space, because neither potassium ( 86 Rb + ) nor sodium absorption was enhanced by MSO pretreatment, and rapid absorption of ammonium continued for too long in relation to the likely free-space content of a monovalent cation
Reproduction and spacing patterns of kit foxes relative to changing prey availability

The occurrence of drought and a corresponding decline in the availability of the primary prey of San Joaquin kit foxes (Vulpes macrotis mutica) during 1990 and early 1991 provided a unique opportunity to document the effect of changing food resources on kit fox productivity and spacing patterns. Thus, we studied reproduction and spacing patterns of 38 kit foxes on a 110-km'study area of the Carrizo Plain Natural Area, California from December 1988 through November 1991. The primary effect of prey scarcity on kit foxes was to decrease reproductive success; none of 9 collared females reproduced in 1990. Home ranges of members of the same social group overlapped extensively (x = 70.0 ± 3.0 [SE]%, n = 20), whereas those of foxes in adjacent social groups overlapped only slightly (x = 14.0 ± 2.0%, n = 73)
Reinforcement Learning with Iterative Reasoning for Merging in Dense Traffic

Maneuvering in dense traffic is a challenging task for autonomous vehicles because it requires reasoning about the stochastic behaviors of many other participants. In addition, the agent must achieve the maneuver within a limited time and distance. In this work, we propose a combination of reinforcement learning and game theory to learn merging behaviors. We design a training curriculum for a reinforcement learning agent using the concept of level-k behavior. This approach exposes the agent to a broad variety of behaviors during training, which promotes learning policies that are robust to model discrepancies. We show that our approach learns more efficient policies than traditional training methods.
Optimal dividend payout under stochastic discounting

Adopting a probabilistic approach we determine the optimal dividend payout policy of a firm whose surplus process follows a controlled arithmetic Brownian motion and whose cash‐flows are discounted at a stochastic dynamic rate. Dividends can be paid to shareholders at unrestricted rates so that the problem is cast as one of singular stochastic control. The stochastic interest rate is modeled by a Cox–Ingersoll–Ross (CIR) process and the firm's objective is to maximize the total expected flow of discounted dividends until a possible insolvency time. We find an optimal dividend payout policy which is such that the surplus process is kept below an endogenously determined stochastic threshold expressed as a decreasing continuous function r↦b(r)$r\mapsto b(r)$ of the current interest rate value. We also prove that the value function of the singular control problem solves a variational inequality associated to a second‐order, non‐degenerate elliptic operator, with a gradient constraint.
[3H]Ouabain binding and Na+, K+-ATPase in resealed human red cell ghosts

The interaction of the cardiac glycoside [3H]ouabain with the Na+, K+ pump of resealed human erythrocyte ghosts was investigated. Binding of [3H]ouabain to high intracellular Na+ ghosts was studied in high extracellular Na+ media, a condition determined to produce maximal ouabain binding rates. Simultaneous examination of both the number of ouabain molecules bound per ghost and the corresponding inhibition of the Na+, K+-ATPase revealed that one molecule of [3H]ouabain inhibited one Na+, K+-ATPase complex. Intracellular magnesium or magnesium plus inorganic phosphate produced the lowest ouabain binding rate. Support of ouabain binding by adenosine diphosphate (ADP) was negligible, provided synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through the residual adenylate kinase activity was prevented by the adenylate kinase inhibitor Ap5A. Uridine 5'-triphosphate (UTP) alone did not support ouabain binding after inhibition of the endogenous nucleoside diphosphokinase by trypan blue and depletion of residual ATP by the incorporation of hexokinase and glucose. ATP acting solely at the high- affinity binding site of the Na+, K+ pump (Km approximately 1 microM) promoted maximal [3H]ouabain binding rates. Failure of 5'-adenylyl-beta- gamma-imidophosphate (AMP-PNP) to stimulate significantly the rate of ouabain binding suggests that phosphorylation of the pump was required to expose the ouabain receptor.
Floral Ontogeny of Aquilegia, Semiaquilegia, and Enemion (Ranunculaceae)

Using scanning electron microscopy, we studied the comparative floral ontogeny of closely related taxa in the tribe Isopyreae of the Ranunculaceae (Aquilegia olympica, Aquilegia ecalcarata, Semiaquilegia adoxoides, and Enemion occidentale) that vary in a number of floral features. Phylogenetic reconstruction of the Isopyreae indicates that floral nectar spurs are derived in Aquilegia (but secondarily lost in A. ecalcarata), lack of petals is derived in Enemion, and staminodia are derived in \documentclass{aastex} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{bm} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{pifont} \usepackage{stmaryrd} \usepackage{textcomp} \usepackage{portland,xspace} \usepackage{amsmath,amsxtra} \usepackage[OT2,OT1]{fontenc} \newcommand\cyr{ \renewcommand\rmdefault{wncyr} \renewcommand\sfdefault{wncyss} \renewcommand\encodingdefault{OT2} \normalfont \selectfont} \DeclareTextFontCommand{\textcyr}{\cyr} \pagestyle{empty} \DeclareMathSizes{10}{9}{7}{6} \begin{document} \landscape $$Aquilegia+Semiaquilegia$$ \end{document} . Order of initiation is shared among all species studied: helical for sepals and simultaneous whorled for all other organs. Species of Aquilegia all have 10 orthostichies (vertical rows of organs), with alternate orthostichies either sepal based or petal based. Scalelike staminodes terminate the orthostichies of stamens in Aquilegia; these staminodes are few or absent in Semiaquilegia and other Ranunculaceae. Carpels terminate the sepal‐based orthostichies. Organogenesis in Enemion and A. ecalcarata are similar except that the alternisepalous orthostichies contain only stamens in Enemion and lack petals. Spurs in A. olympica originate as an abaxial bulge late in petal development that projects downward. Despite the inference that the lack of spurs is ancestral in S. adoxoides but derived in A. ecalcarata, their early petal development is remarkably similar, with the formation of an abaxial knob that fails to develop further. This indicates that A. ecalcarata has lost a key early developmental feature for spur development. Lack of petals in Enemion has clearly resulted from a homeotic shift as stamens develop in the same position as petals in the other species. In Aquilegia and Semiaquilegia, flowers with more stamens have more staminodia. This pattern indicates that staminodia may represent the addition of a novel floral whorl rather than simply a suppression of the development of some stamens. Variation in floral features in other members of the Isopyreae suggests that this tribe will be especially fruitful for future morphological and molecular studies of flower development.
Køpsala: Transition-Based Graph Parsing via Efficient Training and Effective Encoding

We present Køpsala, the Copenhagen-Uppsala system for the Enhanced Universal Dependencies Shared Task at IWPT 2020. Our system is a pipeline consisting of off-the-shelf models for everything but enhanced graph parsing, and for the latter, a transition-based graph parser adapted from Che et al. (2019). We train a single enhanced parser model per language, using gold sentence splitting and tokenization for training, and rely only on tokenized surface forms and multilingual BERT for encoding. While a bug introduced just before submission resulted in a severe drop in precision, its post-submission fix would bring us to 4th place in the official ranking, according to average ELAS. Our parser demonstrates that a unified pipeline is effective for both Meaning Representation Parsing and Enhanced Universal Dependencies.
Finiteness of log Abundant log Canonical Pairs in log Minimal Model Program with Scaling

We study relations between property of being log abundant for lc pairs and termination of log MMP with scaling. We prove that any log MMP with scaling of an ample divisor starting with a projective dlt pair contains only finitely many log abundant dlt pairs. In addition, we discuss conjectures on log abundant dlt pairs which imply existence of good minimal models for projective klt pairs.
Adversarial Attack on Hierarchical Graph Pooling Neural Networks

Recent years have witnessed the emergence and development of graph neural networks (GNNs), which have been shown as a powerful approach for graph representation learning in many tasks, such as node classification and graph classification. The research on the robustness of these models has also started to attract attentions in the machine learning field. However, most of the existing work in this area focus on the GNNs for node-level tasks, while little work has been done to study the robustness of the GNNs for the graph classification task. In this paper, we aim to explore the vulnerability of the Hierarchical Graph Pooling (HGP) Neural Networks, which are advanced GNNs that perform very well in the graph classification in terms of prediction accuracy. We propose an adversarial attack framework for this task. Specifically, we design a surrogate model that consists of convolutional and pooling operators to generate adversarial samples to fool the hierarchical GNN-based graph classification models. We set the preserved nodes by the pooling operator as our attack targets, and then we perturb the attack targets slightly to fool the pooling operator in hierarchical GNNs so that they will select the wrong nodes to preserve. We show the adversarial samples generated from multiple datasets by our surrogate model have enough transferability to attack current state-of-art graph classification models. Furthermore, we conduct the robust train on the target models and demonstrate that the retrained graph classification models are able to better defend against the attack from the adversarial samples. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work on the adversarial attack against hierarchical GNN-based graph classification models.
Assessment of the Performance of Ionospheric Models with NavIC Observations during Geomagnetic Storms

The paper presents an assessment of the performances of the global empirical models: International Reference Ionosphere (IRI)-2016 and the NeQuick2 model derived ionospheric Total Electron Content (TEC) with respect to the Navigation with Indian Constellation (NavIC)/ Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System(IRNSS) estimated TEC under geomagnetic storm conditions. The present study is carried out over Indore (Geographic: 22.52°N 75.92°E and Magnetic Dip: 32.23°N, located close to the northern crest of the Equatorial Ionization Anomaly (EIA) region of the Indian sector). Analysis has been performed for an intense storm (September 6-10, 2017), a moderate storm (September 26-30, 2017) and a mild storm (January 17-21, 2018) that fall in the declining phase of the present solar cycle. It is observed that both IRI-2016 and NeQuick2 derived TEC are underestimates when compared with the observed TEC from NavIC and therefore fail to predict storm time changes in TEC over this region and requires real data inclusion from NavIC for better prediction over the variable Indian longitude sector.
Quadratic Sieve Factorization Quantum Algorithm and its Simulation

Quantum computing is a winsome field that concerns with the behaviour and nature of energy at the quantum level to improve the efficiency of computations. In recent years, quantum computation is receiving much attention for its capability to solve difficult problems efficiently in contrast to classical computers. Specifically, some well-known public-key cryptosystems depend on the difficulty of factoring large numbers, which takes a very long time. It is expected that the emergence of a quantum computer has the potential to break such cryptosystems by 2020 due to the discovery of powerful quantum algorithms (Shor's factoring, Grover's search algorithm and many more). In this paper, we have designed a quantum variant of the second fastest classical factorization algorithm named "Quadratic Sieve". We have constructed the simulation framework of quantized quadratic sieve algorithm using high-level programming language Mathematica. Further, the simulation results are performed on a classical computer to get a feel of the quantum system and proved that it is more efficient than its classical variants from computational complexity point of view.
Number of points of curves over finite fields in some relative situations from an euclidean point of view

We study the number of rational points of smooth projective curves over finite fields in some relative situations in the spirit of a previous paper [HP19] from an euclidean point of vue. We prove some kinds of relative Weil bounds, derived from Schwarz inequality for some "relative parts" of the diagonal and of the graph of the Frobenius on some euclidean sub-spaces of the numerical space of the squared curve endowed with the opposite of the intersection product.
