Factors Affecting Migration of Labourers from Domestic Agriculture and Its Impact on Household Crop Income in Assam

With the foundation of new economics of labour migration (NELM) theory the study has made an attempt to examine the influence of migration of labourers from domestic agriculture on household crop income using primary data collected from 224 farm (cultivator) households in Nagaon and Morigaon districts of Assam. Three stage least squares estimation technique was applied for jointly determining the factors influencing migration, remittances and their impact on crop income. The analysis of the data reveals that though outmigration of labourers from domestic agriculture significantly reduced household crop income, the inflow of remittance has helped in stimulating the earnings from the cultivation of crop. The migration in the study area is considerably influenced by household size, total value of assets holding, networking influence, proximity to commercial bank and flood proneness of the village while the number of migrants, dependents, and age of migrants emerge to be strong predictor of inflow of remittances. The findings of present study offer evidence in support of NELM theory.
Psychological Capital, Outcome Expectation and Job Performance: A Mediated Model of Innovative Work Behavior

PurposeThe ever growing Indian Information Technology (IT)services sector faces major challenge in the constant innovative thinking required by its employees in their software coding and with the start of Artificial Intelligence era the need has become ever more imperative.Despite strong evidence that innovative work behaviour enhance their role performance, there is limited knowledge about the extent to which it’s associated with job performance. Individual psychological state like psychological capital (PsyCap) and outcome expectations of employees, if and how influence the relation of innovative work behaviour and job performance. Aim-The study developed and tested a research model that examines how innovative work behavior of Information Technology (IT) services employees working in Coimbatore, affects their job performance and this model also addresses the influence of PsyCap and employee expectations on their innovative work behavior.

Convertible bond issue announcement effect: Investment opportunities and market reaction perspective

This study examines the announcement effect of convertible bond issue in Korea where the issuance of convertible bonds is increasing rapidly. We find that abnormal stock returns are positive for the firms with unusual high trading volume using a sample of listed firms in Korea Stock Exchange during 2000-2015. Moreover, we show that unusual high volume around convertibles issue announcement has positive correlation with capital expenditure when firm has valuable investment opportunities. Therefore, more favorable announcement returns are driven by capital expenditure decisions and the quality of investment opportunities. In the same sense, the impact of cash flow also depends on the issuer’s quality of investment opportunities. Additionally, we confirm that issuing convertibles has negative signaling effect that stock of issuer is overvalued, and the issuer’s volatility has negative impact around announcement date.

Variational Graph Convolutional Networks

We propose a Bayesian approach to graph convolutional networks ( GCN s ) where the graph parameters are considered as random variables. We develop an inference algorithm to estimate the posterior over these parameters and use it to incorporate prior information that is not naturally considered by standard GCN s . The key to our approach is to deﬁne a smooth posterior parameterization over the adjacency matrix characterizing the graph, which we estimate via stochastic variational inference. Our experiments show that we can outperform standard GCN methods in the task of semi-supervised classiﬁcation in noisy-graph regimes
Quality of fresh-cut 'Khake Dam' and 'Red Maradol' papayas as affected by low temperatures storage.

The changes in physico-chemical properties and microbiological quality of fresh-cut 'Khake Dam' and 'Red Maradol' papayas were determined during storage at 4, 10, and 13°C. Total soluble solid, titratable acidity, total ascorbic acid, firmness and microbial counts were determined after slicing and after 2 d of storage at low temperatures. Total soluble solid content slightly decreased in fruit of both cultivars irrespective of temperatures, whereas titratable acidity, total ascorbic acid and firmness increased regardless of low storage temperature. Respiration and ethylene production rates of both cultivars ranged between 1.1 to 4.2 mg kg -1 h -1 and 0.07 to 1.3 μl kg -1 h -1 , respectively. Water-soaked lesions occurred on both cultivars and reached marketability thresholds on day 2 at all storage temperatures. Mesophilic aerobic bacteria, coliforms, and fungi counts of fresh-cut fruit of 'Red Maradol' just after slicing were less than those of 'Khake Dam'. All microbial counts increased in both cultivars during storage. A storage temperature of 4°C inhibited ethylene production and delayed microbial growth of both cultivars, whereas it adversely affected water-soaked appearance of 'Red Maradol' fruit. Therefore, the optimum storage temperature for fresh-cut papaya is dependent on cultivar.
Phylogenetic perspectives on nodulation : evolving views of plants and symbiotic bacteria

plants and soil bacteria – is an ecologically and economically important plant phenomenon. From an economic viewpoint, the ability of some plant groups to use atmospheric nitrogen, obviating the need for massive inputs of fertilizer, is a significant and desirable trait. A wealth of questions – ecological, developmental and molecular – are presented by nodulation. The process begins with signal exchange between bacteria and their plant hosts and leads to the production of a unique organ, the nodule, which contains novel components that are not found in either free-living bacteria or uninfected plants. From an evolutionary perspective, the factors leading to acquisition of this novel organ – a process that has apparently occurred several times independently – are particularly fascinating. Phylogenetic studies have been undertaken with the aim of understanding relationships in both plants and bacteria, and of elucidating the evolution of individual genes and gene families within each group.
CHEMICAL INVESTIGATION OF BAUHINIA VAHLII WIGHT AND ARNOTT LEAVES GROWN IN EGYPT

Objective: Plants of genus Bauhinia are famous for their rich flavonoid content. Several phytochemical and biological investigations affirmed the role of flavonoids in the different biological impacts exerted by Bauhinia plants. The present study aims to investigate the major phytoconstituents of the leaves of B. vahlii Wight and Arnott. Methods: Powdered leaves were extracted with n -hexane (HE) and the defatted marc was extracted with 70% ethanol. The defatted ethanolic extract (DEE) was further partitioned with solvents of increasing polarities. The HE and polar fractions of DEE were purified using different chromatographic techniques and isolated compounds were identified through their melting points, 1D and 2D NMR, UV and MS spectral data. Results: A total of nine compounds were isolated and identified. Taraxerol (1), a pentacyclic triterpene, and β -sitosterol (2) were isolated from HE. Investigation of polar fractions of DEE yielded six flavonoids and a phenolic acid, namely luteolin (3), quercetin (4), gallic acid (5), avicularin (6), quercitrin (7), hyperoside (8) and quercetin-3- O - β -sophoroside (9). Conclusion: Flavonols of the quercetin nucleus were the major detected constituents in B. vahlii leaves. Taraxerol, avicularin and quercetin-3- O - β -sophoroside are isolated for the first time from the genus Bauhinia . Results of this study encourage future pharmacological investigation of B. vahlii due to the presence of biologically active flavonoids and phytosterols. Keywords: Bauhinia vahlii Wight, Arnott. , Polar extractives, Flavonols, Quercetin, Taraxerol
A Leaky‐Integrate‐and‐Fire Neuron Analog Realized with a Mott Insulator

During the last half century, the tremendous development of computers based on von Neumann architecture has led to the revolution of the information technology. However, von Neumann computers are outperformed by the mammal brain in numerous data‐processing applications such as pattern recognition and data mining. Neuromorphic engineering aims to mimic brain‐like behavior through the implementation of artificial neural networks based on the combination of a large number of artificial neurons massively interconnected by an even larger number of artificial synapses. In order to effectively implement artificial neural networks directly in hardware, it is mandatory to develop artificial neurons and synapses. A promising advance has been made in recent years with the introduction of the components called memristors that might implement synaptic functions. In contrast, the advances in artificial neurons have consisted in the implementation of silicon‐based circuits. However, so far, a single‐component artificial neuron that will bring an improvement comparable to what memristors have brought to synapses is still missing. Here, a simple two‐terminal device is introduced, which can implement the basic functions leaky integrate and fire of spiking neurons. Remarkably, it has been found that it is realized by the behavior of strongly correlated narrow‐gap Mott insulators subject to electric pulsing.
El sulfato como nutriente esencial en la protección contra los efectos citotóxicos del cadmio en la microalga dulceacuícula "Chlamydomonas moewussii" Gerloff

espanolEl sulfato es la principal fuente de azufre para las microalgas y, por lo tanto, un nutriente esencial para estos microorganismos. El conocimiento de la concentracion optima de los nutrientes es una cuestion importante que ayuda a desarrollar sistemas de crecimiento eficientes; de hecho, el estudio de la cinetica de crecimiento de las microalgas es una herramienta indispensable en todos los campos de la ficologia. En el presente estudio, usando como modelo la microalga Chlamydomonas moewusii, se estudiaron los efectos de este nutriente y se obtuvo un modelo cinetico para relacionar el crecimiento de esta microalga con el sulfato. Aunque este nutriente tiene muchas funciones biologicas, tambien se demostro en este trabajo que tiene importantes implicaciones en procesos de tolerancia a la toxicidad del cadmio, existiendo una interaccion entre ambos compuestos. La razon de esto es que compuestos azufrados, ricos en tioles (cisteina, y-Glu-Cys, glutation y fitoquelatinas) son un mecanismo de tolerancia contra la toxicidad de este metal. Se demostro que niveles mas elevados de sulfato permitieron una mayor biosintesis de tioles y, por consiguiente, una mayor tolerancia a la toxicidad. Sin embargo, un exceso de este nutriente tuvo un efecto contrario provocando toxicidad y mayor efecto toxico del cadmio. EnglishSulphate is the main source of sulphur for microalgae and, therefore, an essential nutrient for these organisms. The knowledge of the optimal concentration of nutrients is an important issue that helps to develop efficient growth systerns; in fact, the study of the kinetics of growth of microalgae is an indispensable tool in all fields of phycology. In tbe present study, using as a model the microalga Chlamydomonas moewusii, the effects of this nutrient were studied and a kinetic model was obtained to relate the growth of this microalga with sulphate. Although this nutrient has many biological functions, it was also dernostrated in this work that it has important implications in processes of tolerance to cadmium toxicity due to the existence of an interaction between both compounds. The reason for this is that sulphur compounds, rich in thiols (cysteine, y-Glu-Cys, glutathione and phytochelatins), are a mechanism of tolerance against the toxicity of this metal. It was demonstrated that higher levels of sulphate allowed a higher biosynthesis of thiols and, therefore, a higher toleran ce to this toxicity. However, an excess of this nutrient had an opposite effect causing toxicity and a higher toxic effect of cadmium.
First characterization of a new perturbation system for gust generation: the chopper

Abstract. We present a new system for the generation of rapid, strong flow perturbations in the aerodynamic wind tunnel at École Centrale de Nantes. The system is called the chopper, and it consists of a rotating bar cutting through the inlet of a wind tunnel test section, thus generating an inverse gust that travels downstream. The flow generated by the chopper is investigated with respect to the rotational frequency using an array equipped with hot-wires that is traversed downstream in the flow field. It is found that the gust can be described as a superposition of the mean gust velocity, an underlying gust shape, and additional turbulence. Following this approach, the evolution of the mean gust velocity and turbulence intensity are presented, and the evolution of the underlying inverse gust shape is explained. The turbulence is shown to be characterized by an integral length scale of approximately half the chopper blade width and a turbulence decay according to E(f)∝f-5/3.
Discovering Business Processes from Email Logs using fastText and Process Mining

Communication has never been more accessible than today. With the help of Instant messengers and Email Services, millions of people can transfer information with ease, and this trend has affected organizations as well. There are billions of organizational emails sent or received daily, and their main goal is to facilitate the daily operation of organizations. Behind this vast corpus of human-generated content, there is much implicit information that can be mined and used to improve or optimize the organizations’ operations. Business processes are one of those implicit knowledge areas that can be discovered from Email logs of an Organization, as most of the communications are followed inside Emails. The purpose of this research is to propose an approach to discover the process models in the Email log. In this approach, we combine two tools, supervised machine learning and process mining. With the help of supervised machine learning, fastText classifier, we classify the body text of emails to the activity-related. Then the generated log will be mined with process mining techniques to find process models. We illustrate the approach with a case study company from the oil and gas sector.
The Preference for Moderation Scale

We propose that individual differences in the value placed on the principle of moderation exist and influence many aspects of consumer decision-making. The idea that moderation is an important guiding norm of human behavior is prevalent throughout history and an explicit theme in many philosophies, religions, and cultures. Yet, moderation has not been studied as an individual-level determinant of consumer behavior. We develop a scale that measures the degree to which individuals have a Preference for Moderation (PFM). The PFM scale predicts consequential behavior in many decision contexts. We first report on scale development, including the generation and selection of items. We then report analyses showing that PFM is distinct from several popular individual-difference variables. Related to cultural background, PFM reliably predicts the use of compromise (study 1) and balancing (vs. highlighting) strategies (study 2), as well as various decision-making behaviors, including reliance on the representativeness heuristic (study 3), self-reported financial habits and outcomes (studies 4–5), real-world online-reviewing behavior (study 6), and split-ticket voting behavior in the 2018 US midterm elections (study 7).
