Studies on interrelationships among yield and yield contributing traits in bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L. var. grossum)

Thirty five genotypes including three check cultivars were grown in a RCBD with three replications during Kharif, 2013 at Vegetable Experimental Research Farm, Nauni, Solan, HP to study the correlation and path analysis of yield and other different economic characters in bell pepper. From the correlation study among different characters a highly significant and positive phenotypic and genotypic correlation of yield was found with number of fruits per plant, fruit length, fruit breadth, average fruit weight, pericarp thickness and harvest duration. Therefore, main emphasis should be given on these characters, while making the selection in bell pepper genotypes. Maximum positive direct effect towards yield was contributed by number of fruits per plant, followed by average fruit weight and pericarp thickness. The studies on path coefficient analysis suggested that selection for average fruit weight, number of fruits per plant and pericarp thickness would be effective for improving yield in bell pepper.

AAS 18-289 DISPOSAL TRAJECTORIES FROM NEAR RECTILINEAR HALO ORBITS

After completion of a resupply mission to NASA’s proposed Lunar Orbital Platform Gateway, safe disposal of the Logistics Module is required. One potential option is disposal to heliocentric space. This investigation includes an exploration of the trajectory escape dynamics from an Earth-Moon Near Rectilinear Halo Orbit (NRHO) and applies these insights to the design of a low-cost heliocentric Logistics Module disposal option. The effects of the solar gravitational perturbations are assessed in both the bicircular restricted 4-body problem and in an ephemeris force model.
Domestication past and future of tribal agriculture in Bastar

Wild edible fruits play an important role in the nutrition, medicinal and traditional lifestyles of the local people. Bastar region is rich in its biodiversity and tribal communities who are dependent on wild resources for the sustenance. The main forest is sal, Harra, Bahera, Char, Tendu, Palash. Most of the people are either engaged in livelihood through agriculture or forestry-related options. The economic condition of the people is also below the national level as reflected in per capita income. Wild edible fruits of this region are not only consumed but are also sold in local markets. There is a need to domesticate the fruits at the same time there is a need to develop cultivable improved varieties and the study nutritional aspect to design better foods for the future. Although these wild edible plants play an important role in food security, they are ignored. The primitive man through trial and error has selected many wild edible plants, which are edible and subsequently domesticated them. Allopatric speciation, also referred to as geographic speciation, vicariant speciation, or its earlier name, the dumbbell model, is a mode of speciation that occurs when biological populations of the same species become isolated from each other to an extent that prevents or interferes with gene flow. Wild edible is less susceptible to diseases, can be grown easily without the application of pesticides. Ironically these plants are still unknown or less known to other parts of the world. The wild edible plant species will be popularized after phytochemical analysis and nutritional studies. The present study on the review of “Domesticable Hidden Wild Botanical Gems of Forest” will be helpful in pooling different types of edible plant species utilized by various tribes in different parts of the forest.
Variability of phenolic composition and tocopherol content of some commercial Almond cultivars

The phenolic (gallic acid, catechin, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, epicatechin, ferulic acid, kaempferol, naringenin, and p-coumaric acid) and tocopherol contents (α, β, γ, and δ) of some commercially significant almond cultivars were determined in the research. Wide variations in phenolic and tocopherol contents were detected among the cultivars in the research. The highest rate among the phenolic substances was obtained in catechin, with the average values of 27.35 µg g -1 in 2008 and 39.87 µg g -1 in 2009. The highest catechin content was recorded in cultivar ‘Ferraduel’ in both years, with the values of 117.59 µg g -1 in 2008 and 145.86 µg g -1 in 2009. The highest rate among the tocopherols was obtained in α-tocopherol, and the average values were detected as 312.29 mg kg -1 in 2008 and 467.31 mg kg -1 in 2009. The highest α-tocopherol contents were determined as 899.49 mg kg -1 and 945.41 mg kg -1 in cultivar ‘Supernova’ in both years, respectively. In the research, α-tocopherol turned out to be the major tocopherol.
CP-Detector: Using Configuration-related Performance Properties to Expose Performance Bugs

Performance bugs are often hard to detect due to their non fail-stop symptoms. Existing debugging techniques can only detect performance bugs with known patterns (e.g., inefficient loops). The key reason behind this incapability is the lack of a general test oracle. Here, we argue that the performance (e.g., throughput, latency, execution time) expectation of configuration can serve as a strong oracle candidate for performance bug detection. First, prior work shows that most performance bugs are related to configurations. Second, the configuration change reflects common expectation on performance changes. If the actual performance is contrary to the expectation, the related code snippet is likely to be problematic. In this paper, we first conducted a comprehensive study on 173 real-world configuration-related performance bugs (CPBugs) from 12 representative software systems. We then derived seven configuration-related performance properties, which can serve as the test oracle in performance testing. Guided by the study, we designed and evaluated an automated performance testing framework, CP-DETECTOR, for detecting real-world configuration-related performance bugs. CP-DETECTOR was evaluated on 12 open-source projects. The results showed that it detected 43 out of 61 existing bugs and reported 13 new bugs.
Principal motion analysis of manual stretching techniques for the ankle joints

[Purpose] Physical therapists frequently perform manual stretching of the ankle joints. Manual stretching procedures are challenging to define because they involve multidirectional joint motions and external forces. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a method for quantitatively and statistically analyzing the manual foot stretching techniques used by physical therapists. [Participants and Methods] The participants were four physical therapists, and three patients who have a spastic foot. We investigated the manual foot stretching techniques employed by the physical therapists using a three-dimensional analysis system and an instrumented brace with force sensors. Principal motion analysis was applied to the obtained data, and principal motions were determined. [Results] The first principal motion was the application of force for the dorsiflexion of the foot; second, the pushing/pulling of the heel; third, the eversion/inversion of the entire foot; and fourth, the eversion/inversion of the forefoot. Furthermore, the manual stretching techniques varied among the physical therapists, even for the same patient, and some techniques occurred only between particular pairs. [Conclusion] This study demonstrated the effectiveness of the principal motion analysis for the statistical assessment of manual stretching techniques and clarifying differences in stretching technique among physical therapists.
Characterizing Freak Waves with Wavelet Transform Analysis

This paper presents an analysis of a set of available freak wave measurements gathered from several periods of continuous wave recordings made in the Sea of Japan during 1986 1990 by the Ship Research Institute of Japan. The analysis provides an ideal opportunity to catch a glimpse of the incidence of freak waves. The results show that a well-defined freak wave can be readily identified from the wavelet spectrum where strong energy density in the spectrum is instantly surged and seemingly carried over to the high frequency components at the instant the freak wave occurs. Thus for a given freak wave, there appears a clear corresponding signature shown in the time-frequency wavelet spectrum. Since freak waves are primarily transient events occurring unexpectedly, wavelet transform analysis on continuous, long duration wave measurements clearly represents the most ideal approach to discern the localized characteristics of freak waves for further exploration.
Object Detection and Tracking with Multiple Sensor Modalities using Random Finite Set Filtering

—This paper is concerned with a system for detecting and tracking multiple 3D bounding boxes based on information from multiple sensors. Our framework is built around an inference engine similar to the probability hypothesis density (PHD) ﬁlter, where the state space consists of stochastic bounding boxes with constant velocity dynamics. We outline measurement equations for two modalities (vision and radar). The result is a ﬂexible inference system suitable for use on autonomous vehicles

An Integral Linear Programming Relaxation for Parameterized Steiner Trees (cid:63)

We present a novel linear program (LP) for the Steiner Tree problem, where a set of terminal vertices need to be connected by a minimum weight tree in an edge-weighted graph. This problem is NP-hard and, unless P=NP, therefore does not have an eﬃciently computable polynomial-sized integral LP, for which the optimum LP solution encodes an optimum Steiner tree. However, Steiner Tree is ﬁxed-parameter tractable when parameterized by the number k of terminals, and can be solved in O (3 k | V | + 2 k | V | 2 ) time via the Dreyfus-Wagner algorithm. We show that the problem admits an integral LP with 3 k | E | variables and 2 k | V | constraints. This improves on a previous result by Siebert et al. [2018], who gave an integral LP of size O ((2 k/e ) k ) | V | O (1) .
Baseline nutritional status could be a predictor for radiation esophagitis in esophageal cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy

Background To investigate the relationship between baseline nutrition status and radiation esophagitis in patients with esophageal cancer treated by radiation therapy. Methods A retrospective study was performed on 100 patients with esophageal cancer who was treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy, preoperative chemoradiation and definitive radiotherapy at the Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital from October 2018 and October 2019. We documented the clinical characteristics of patients, including tumor location, clinical stage, treatment, radiation dose, gross tumor volume (GTV), planning tumor volume (PTV) and Atkinson’s Dysphagia score (ADS), and we recorded the nutrition status before radiation, including Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA), body mass index (BMI), weight loss percentage in 3 mouths (WL), the level of albumin (ALB), hemoglobin (HB), C-reactive protein (CRP) and Glasgow prognostic score (GPS). These factors were correlated with radiation esophagitis using univariate and multivariate regression analyses. Results Of 100 patients, 44% patients with PG-SGA score ≥9 at baseline, suggesting severe malnutrition, 41% patients developed grade ≥2 radiation esophagitis. In univariate analysis, dose >40 Gy (P=0.015), PTV ≥495 cm3 (P=0.049), PG-SGA score ≥9 (P=0.001), WL ≥10% (P=0.019) and ALB level <35 g/L (P=0.043) were significantly associated with grade ≥2 radiation esophagitis. Multivariate analysis revealed that PG-SGA score ≥9 (P=0.042) was the independent predictor of radiation esophagitis. Conclusions Baseline nutritional status associated with development of grade ≥2 radiation esophagitis in patients with esophageal cancer undergoing radiotherapy.
Experimental Analysis of a Spatialised Audio Interface for People with Visual Impairments

Sound perception is a fundamental skill for many people with severe sight impairments. The research presented in this article is part of an ongoing project with the aim to create a mobile guidance aid to help people with vision impairments find objects within an unknown indoor environment. This system requires an effective non-visual interface and uses bone-conduction headphones to transmit audio instructions to the user. It has been implemented and tested with spatialised audio cues, which convey the direction of a predefined target in 3D space. We present an in-depth evaluation of the audio interface with several experiments that involve a large number of participants, both blindfolded and with actual visual impairments, and analyse the pros and cons of our design choices. In addition to producing results comparable to the state-of-the-art, we found that Fitts’s Law (a predictive model for human movement) provides a suitable metric that can be used to improve and refine the quality of the audio interface in future mobile navigation aids.
Reply to the Interactive comment of the Referee # 2 on " A dimensionless approach for the runoff peak assessment : effects of the rainfall event structure " by Ilaria

Ref. #2 Comment C1: Reasons: the authors should better discuss the reasons of such kind of methodology. For what I understand on one side they propose the methodology as tool to deal with design storms (for example in a projecting process). On the other side refer constantly to internal structure of real event, so in such a way to “reduce” real events in constant intensity hyetographs of variable length. Why doing this? So at the end what is the scope of the method? Answer C1 The main objective of the manuscript is to investigate the impact of the internal rainfall event structure on the hydrograph peak. The original contribution of the paper consists, firstly, in the methodology proposed to describe the internal structure of the rainfall event based on the similarity with the DDF curves. The internal structure of the rainfall event is described by means of the n structure exponent (as well as the coefficient a) that is assumed varying across the rainfall event; in particular each n structure exponent is assumed as representative of the rainfall event structure in the range of duration [di 2 ⁄ ; 2di] from which it is derived. Based on such assumptions, the observed rainfall event that is characterized by a specific n structure exponent is only one of the possible outcomes in the sample space of the rainfall structures. In other words, the structure exponent n at a given duration, di, allows describing the rainfall event based on a simple rectangular hyetograph thus representing the internal rainfall structure in the range of duration [di 2 ⁄ ; 2di]. Indeed assuming a rainfall depth in a given duration as a reference/equivalent rainfall event (named respectively as hr and tr), the internal event structure may be significantly different: when the structure exponent n tends to zero the internal structure of the rainfall event is comparable to a Dirac impulse while it is comparable to a constant intensity rainfall for n close to one. The second original contribution consists in the dimensionless approach that allows defining an analytical framework that can be applied to any study case (i.e. natural catchment) for which the model assumptions are valid (i.e. linear causative and time invariant system). The reference values hr and tr are directly linked to the climatic and morphologic characteristics of the specific catchment, therefore the dimensionless approach based on the hr and tr values allows to generalize the results irrespective of the specific catchment characteristic (such as the return period associated to the reference rainfall event) thus focusing on the impact of the structure exponent n (i.e. the internal rainfall structure) on the hydrograph peak.
Variants of ( s , t )-Wythoff ’ s game 1

In this paper, we study four games, they are all restrictions of (s, t)-Wythoff’s game which was introduced by A.S. Fraenkel. The first one is a modular type restriction of (s, t)-Wythoff’s game, where a player is restricted to remove a multiple of K tokens in each move (K is a fixed positive integer). The others we called rook type restrictions of (s, t)-Wythoff’s game, including Odd-Arbitrary-Nim (s, t)-Wythoff’s Game, Odd-Odd-Nim (s, t)-Wythoff’s Game and Odd-Even-Nim (s, t)-Wythoff’s Game. In these three games, the restrictions are only made on horizontal and vertical moves, but not on the extended diagonal moves. For any K, s, t ≥ 1, the sets of P -positions of our games are given in both normal and misère play.
Comparative study of Fe and Mn micronutrient accumulation in flag leaf and spike of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grown under heat stress

Micronutrients are essential for human health and crucial for plant survival. Increasing temperature and heat are major abiotic stress which limits yield and nutritional quality of wheat. The objective of study to evaluate the effect of heat stress on micronutrient (Fe & Mn) accumulation in 18 wheat varieties at two phenological stages (Booting and grain filling). Pot experiments were conducted in randomized block design with three replications during rabbi 2012-13 at DRPCAU, Pusa, Bihar. Results showed the accumulation of micronutrient under heat stress in booting and grain filling decreased significantly in flag leaf and spike but some varieties enhances the accumulation of micronutrients under heat stress condition significantly. The wheat variety namely AKAW4189-3, MonsAld’s, Iepacarabe, PBW343, Pusa gold, AKAW4008 and Halna are good accumulator for Fe in flag leaf and varieties PBW343, HD2888, Kauz-dwarf, HD2733, F5-995, Iepacarabe, and AKAW4008 increased accumulation in spike. Maximum iron accumulation under stress condition recorded in variety AKAW4189-3 (252.33 ppm) in flag leaf and PBW343 (239.73 ppm) in spike. The enhanced Mn accumulation under high temperature was observed in flag leaf of variety namely AKAW4008, Pusa gold, Iepacarabe, F5-995, MonsAld’s, and Raj 3765 respectively whereas, AKAW 4008, AKAW4189-3, PBW343, C306, HD2285, HD2888, MonsAld’s and Sonalika has good accumulation property of Mn in spike. Variety namely F5-995 (32.57 ppm) and PBW343 (28.46 ppm) show good accumulation of manganese under stress condition in flag leaf and spike respectively. The wheat variety AKAW 4008, F5-995, PBW343,HD2888, MonsAld’s and AKAW4189-3 showed overall better micronutrients accumulation in flag leaf and spike under stress condition and appeared as potentially important wheat variety used in plant breeding and biofortification strategy to reduce the problem of malnutrition.
Ultrastructural Morphology of Tarsus of Aspidomorpha dorsata (F.) (Coleoptera: Hispidae)

Abstract The ultrastructural morphology of the tarsus of the adult beetle, Aspidomorpha dorsata (F.) (Coleoptera: Hispidae), is described for the first time, using scanning electron microscopy observations. The tarsus of A. dorsata consists of 5 tarsomeres and the distal pretarsus consists of a pair of ungues. The foretarsus and midtarsus are similar to each other whereas the hindtarsus exhibits specialization. The ungues, which articulate dorsally at the distal end of the tarsus, are broad basally (about 169 - 178 μm long and 126 - 133 μm wide), gradually taper into an acute apex over apical half, with the surface of the ungues being rough dorsally and longitudinally grooved innerly and ventrally. There are three small, parallel, accessory ungues (about 35 - 80 μm long) on the ungues. The surface of the accessory ungue is smooth. The ventral surface of the first, second and third tarsomeres is covered with dense adhesive setae. Each seta consists of two parts: a setal shaft and a modified apex (terminal plate). Four types of adhesive setae, viz. the pointed setae, the spatulate setae, the discoidal setae and the drop-shaped setae, are recognized based on the shape of the setal tip. The pointed setae are about 29 - 39 μm long, have acute, pronged and curved tips and are found on tarsomeres I and II of the hind legs and on the edge of tarsomeres I and II of the fore and middle legs. The spatulate setae are about 34 - 55 μm long, have spatulate, pronged and curved terminal plates and are present on tarsomere III of three pairs of legs. The discoidal setae are about 23 - 24 μm long, have discoidal tips and are found on tarsomeres I and II of fore and middle legs. A few drop-shaped setae are found on tarsomere II of three pairs of legs. The distribution of the 4 types of setae is different on the 3 pairs of legs. This suggests that the fore, middle and hind legs exhibit different adhesive functions during the climbing.
The Money as the Necessary Link Between Micro and Macro Levels

The aim of the chapter is to introduce money as the necessary link between micro and macro levels. The author starts with a critical appraisal of the neoclassical monetary theory paradigm. The opening argument is that it is not possible to separate the relative prices and price level formation. The interdependence between the price of money and the prices of all the other goods leads to the conclusion of the gross complementarity of money what violates the gross substitutability principle. Further, it is argued that the function of money as medium of exchange in a decentralized monetary economy is only possible under cyclic sequencing of bilateral exchanges. The latter means that new macroeconomic constraint is added to the conventional micro equilibrium requirements. The macro constraint makes possible to derive the individual utility functions from macro variables such as the income velocity of money and the price level. The macro constraint allows also for optimal solutions under the second-best conditions.
