Germination requirements of Oenothera biennis seeds during burial under natural seasonal temperature cycles

Buried seeds of Oenothera biennis, which have the potential to form long-lived seed banks, were investigated to determine whether or not they (i) undergo seasonal changes in their dormancy states and (ii) require light for germination. Seeds were buried in soil and exposed to natural seasonal temperature changes. Samples of seeds were exhumed at monthly intervals for 31 months and tested for germination in light and darkness at 12-h daily thermoperiods of 15:6, 20:10, 25:15, 30:15, and 35:20 °C. At maturity in autumn, seeds germinated to 84–95% in light at 30:15 and 35:20 °C, but to 0–69% at other test conditions. By late winter, seeds germinated to 95–100% at the five thermoperiods in light and in darkness. In summer and autumn, germination in light decreased at 15:6 °C, and in darkness it dropped to 0% at 15:6 °C and decreased at 20:10, 25:15, 30:15, and 35:20 °C. Following the second winter of burial, seeds germinated to near 100% at all thermoperiods in light and darkness. Thus, seeds exhibited an ann.
Material-dependent ultrasonic heating behavior during the reshaping of dry paper webs

The use of ultrasonic tools during the reshaping of dry paper webs results in a temperature increase. This work aimed to determine the influence of the material and the ultrasonic process parameters of amplitude, ultrasonic duration, and static process pressure on the heating behavior of paperboard during ultrasonic-assisted reshaping. The results showed that the initial process pressure, the ultrasonic amplitude, and the compression resistance of the material noticeably influenced the heating rate. Materials with low compression resistance tended to reach higher initial heating rates during ultrasonic treatment. In addition, coating the paperboard led to an even temperature distribution in the paperboard during the ultrasonic process.
Public Private Partnership E-Government in Improving Service Quality in Community Health

Advances in the use of information technology (ICT) have greatly facilitated the development of electronic government (E-Government) throughout the world. The benefits of this development can improve the quality of services to the community through aspects of user approval, efficiency, openness, and responsiveness. However, the lack of skilled human resources and limited government capacity in terms of e-government development. Public private partnership (PPP) is a solution to overcome problems, challenges and obstacles faced by the government in realizing e-government development goals. PPP is expected to improve the goal of e-government development, namely to improve the quality of services to the public through the private sector in public health services in the city of Palembang.

Resistance to β-Lactams - The Permutations

Abstract The β-lactam family of antimicrobials, in particular penicillins and cephalosporins, is the mainstay of treatment for community-acquired infections. However, the emergence of resistant isolates to these agents has raised concerns regarding the continued efficacy of existing therapies. Resistance to β-lactams is most commonly expressed by the microbial production of β-lactamases that hydrolyze the β-lactam ring. Three further resistance mechanisms include conformational changes in penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs); permeability changes in the outer membrane; and active efflux of the antimicrobial. In addition to the pre-requisite efficacy and tolerability profiles, new β-lactams should address these four resistance mechanisms. Overcoming resistance may be a serendipitous event or arrived at by design. A unique synthetic β-lactam class, which demonstrates promise in terms of its activity against the range of bacteria responsible for communityacquired infections and its inherent stability to hydrolysis by β-lactamases, is the penems. This discrete class of hybrid molecules combines properties from the penicillin (penam) and cephalosporin (cephem) β-lactam classes. Faropenem is an example of a penem with a broad spectrum of activity designed to address these resistance issues.
Applicability of abscisic acid and (or) proline accumulation as selection criteria for drought tolerance in Nicotiana tabacum

The efficacy of various aspects of abscisic acid and proline accumulation as potential selection parameters for drought tolerance in tobacco was evaluated under controlled conditions. The results indicated that both abscisic acid (though being less pronounced) and proline accumulate rapidly after a distinct threshold leaf water potential value has been reached and that probably because of their higher cell wall elasticity (0.23 and 0.28 MPa for the drought-tolerant cultivars GS46 and Elsoma, respectively, compared with 0.39 and 0.31 MPa for the drought-sensitive cultivars TL33 and CDL28, respectively) these threshold leaf water potential values are reached sooner in drought-tolerant cultivars. However, abscisic acid accumulation precedes proline accumulation in both the drought-tolerant and drought-sensitive cultivars. Proline concentrations increased sharply at a leaf water potential of ca. −1.27 MPa in the drought-tolerant cultivars and at a leaf water potential of ca. −1.50 MPa in the drought-sensitive.
The complete mitochondrial and plastid genomes of the invasive marine red alga Caulacanthus okamurae (Caulacanthaceae, Rhodophyta) from Moss Landing, California, USA

Abstract Caulacanthus okamurae is an invasive red alga that forms extensive mats in sheltered marine habitats around the world. To determine its genomic structure and genetic relationship to native and other non-native populations of C. okamurae, high-throughput sequencing analysis was performed on an introduced specimen from Bennett Slough, Moss Landing, California, USA. Assembly of 23,146,595 filtered 150 bp paired-end Illumina sequencing reads yielded its complete mitogenome (GenBank accession MT193839) and plastid genome (GenBank accession MT193838). The mitogenome is 25,995 bp in length and contains 50 genes. The plastid genome is 173,516 bp and contains 234 genes. Comparison of the organellar chromosomes to other Gigartinales revealed a high-level of gene synteny. BLAST analysis of marker sequences (rbcL, cox1, cox2) of C. okamurae from Moss Landing identified four identical DNA sequences: one from a specimen from a native population of C. okamurae from South Korea and three from specimens representing invasive populations from France, Spain, and the USA. These genetic results confirm the presence of C. okamurae in central California, USA, and represent the first complete mitogenome and plastid genome from the Caulacanthaceae.
Vertical distribution of fertilizer nitrogen from surface water flooding of a silt loam and clay soil used for rice production

Nitrogen (N) fertilizer retention and short‐term vertical redistribution into soil affect N balance and N‐use efficiency in rice (Oryza sativa L.) production systems. A series of experiments was conducted on intact soil cores obtained from rice production fields to track floodwater and soil ammonium‐ and nitrate‐N concentrations up to 96 hr after urea and ammonium sulphate fertilizer amendments to dry, silt loam soil (a) as compared to clay soil, (b) with and without a delay before floodwater establishment and (c) at two initial soil water conditions (dry and muddy). The impact of a 5‐day delay before flood establishment was also compared between untreated and N‐(n‐butyl)thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT)‐treated urea‐N concentrations. Urea‐derived N generally moved deeper into dry, silt loam soil than ammonium sulphate. Ammonium sulphate‐derived N concentration was greatest in the surface 2 cm of soil, decreased with depth, and was unaffected by floodwater duration. A 5‐day delay between fertilization and flooding resulted in urea behaving similarly to ammonium sulphate, although NBPT treatment resulted in vertical N distributions similar to those for untreated urea applied to dry, immediately flooded soil. When urea was applied to muddy soil, no fertilizer N was observed below 2 cm, while large concentrations of ammonium‐N remained in the floodwater. Results collectively demonstrate the importance of immediate downward movement of fertilizer‐applied N into dry soil for retention, and the use of a urease inhibitor to maximize urea‐derived N downward movement into soil when a delay in flood establishment cannot be avoided.
Male Meiosis in Some Species (Family Poaceae) with Soil Stabilization Potential from District Kinnaur, Himachal Pradesh

Soil stabilization is a serious exercise, which involves establishing and implanting resistive measures against soil erosion. Growing grasses is one of the most efficient and cost effective methods of stabilizing banks of slopes and newly created slopes from landslides, etc. Selection of suitable candidate species for this job is an important question. Male meiotic studies have been carried out on two soil stabilizing grass species, Eremopoa persica and Pennisetum lanatum, of family Poaceae from district Kinnaur, Himachal Pradesh, a cold desert region of the Northwestern Himalayas, India. Meiotic analysis of three populations of Eremopoa persica revealed that all populations exist at a haploid chromosome number of n=21, a new hexaploid cytotype recorded for the species at world level. The present count of n=9+1–3 B in Pennisetum lanatum is the first report of B-chromosomes. The meiotic course varies from normal to abnormal in various populations, thus reducing the pollen fertility in the analyzed populations.
Lightweight Modeling Attack-Resistant Multiplexer-Based Multi-PUF (MMPUF) Design on FPGA

Physical unclonable function (PUF) is a primary hardware security primitive that is suitable for lightweight applications. However, it is found to be vulnerable to modeling attacks using machine learning algorithms. In this paper, multiplexer (MUX)-based Multi-PUF (MMPUF) design is proposed to thwart modeling attacks. The proposed design uses a weak PUF to obfuscate the challenge of a strong PUF. A mathematical model of the proposed design is presented and analyzed. The three most widely used modeling attack techniques are used to evaluate the resistance of the proposed design. Experimental results show that the proposed MMPUF design is more resistant to the machine learning attack than the previously proposed XOR-based Multi-PUF (XMPUF) design. For a large sample size, the prediction rate of the proposed MMPUF is less than the conventional Arbiter PUF (APUF). Compared with existing attack-resistant PUF designs, the proposed MMPUF design demonstrates high resistance. To verify the proposed design, a hardware implementation on Xilinx 7 Series FPGAs is presented. The hardware experimental results show that the proposed MMPUF designs present good results of uniqueness and reliability.

The findings are hoped to give evaluation towards the stake holders.
Yield Structure and Kernel Potential of Winter Wheat on the Canadian Prairies

Improvements in agronomic practices and cultivars have allowed for expanded production of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) on the Canadian prairies. In this study, yield and yield components were measured in dry land and irrigation trials to identify the factors determining yield potential and sample uniformity. Although genotype × environment interactions were important contributors to variation in the yield determining factors, genotype and position of the kernel in the spike had the major influence on kernel weight. Large differences in kernels spikelet -1 and kernel weight indicated that these two variables were responsible for yield adjustments to stress during the spikelet and kernel development phase. Kernels from the lower and middle section of the spike and the proximal (A and B) floret positions were heavier than those from the upper spike section and the distal (C and D) floret positions. Artificially reducing spikelet numbers increased weight of the remaining kernels but only under dry land conditions. Weight of kernels in the C position was increased 22% when ovules of the proximal florets were removed during head initiation. These observations indicate that because growing season moisture availability is extremely variable on the Canadian prairies, an ability to compensate for limitations or excesses in sink size as the season progresses must be bred into cultivars if grain yield is to be maximized. This means that successful genotypes tend to have higher than average values for all yield components rather than one exceptionally high component and uniform seed size is difficult to achieve.
Evaluation of the Corrosion Inhibitive Properties of Three Different Leave Extracts on Mild Steel Iron in Sulphuric Acid Solution

The inhibitive ability of pawpaw, neem and curry leaf extracts on corrosion of mild steel in sulfuric acid solution were investigated in this work. The extracts obtained from their respective leaves, were characterized to determine their phytochemical constituents as well as functional groups present using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) technique. Weight loss techniques was employed to evaluate the corrosion inhibition efficiency of the leaf extracts. The Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was used to study the morphology of the mild steel before and after corrosion experiments. The process factors studied was exposure time, concentration of leaf extracts (inhibitor) and temperature. The results revealed that the phytochemical constituents of the leaves are capable of inhibiting corrosion due to high concentration of tannins which is Original Research Article Chukwueze et al.; JERR, 12(3): 6-17, 2020; Article no.JERR. 56480 7 responsible for the corrosion inhibition of mild steel. The rate of corrosion decreased with increase in the concentration of the extracts while the inhibition efficiency increased with increase in the concentration of the extracts. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) revealed that the corroded mild steel in the presence of the extracts had smoother surfaces than corroded mild steel in the absence of the extracts. Also, neem leaf extract demonstrated higher potential as corrosion inhibitor than pawpaw and curry leaf extracts.
2D foaming of ultrathin MXene sheets with highly conductive silver nanowires for wearable electromagnetic interference shielding applications owing to multiple reflections within created free space

Interest has been growing in electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials in view of soaring EM radiation and its pollution control, which is necessary for public health and normal communication. To realize high EMI shielding effectiveness (SE), two factors of high electrical conductivity and strong multiple reflections are quite important. However, it is still a big challenge to obtain these two characteristics simultaneously in one material system. Here, we present a lightweight composite film integrating silver nanowires (AgNWs) as the skeleton and MXene as the covering decoration (AgNWs/Ti3C2Tx) for foaming structure. The composite film exhibits a low density of about 1 g cm−3 and an electrical conductivity of up to 15 038 S cm−1, which give a superiorly high specific EMI SE per unit thickness of 270 997 dB · cm2 g−1, and an EMI SE of 41.3 dB at a thickness of 1.2 μm (or 96.7 dB at a thickness of 40 μm) in the X-band. A film formation method of positive pressure filtration helps to easily control free space created during foaming for adequate EM wave scattering, yet remaining within the skin depth and strong multiple reflections have been achieved. The superior EMI shielding properties make the lightweight AgNWs/Ti3C2Tx composite film a promising candidate in high-end applications.

Inhibition of inducible nitric oxide synthase expression by novel nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory derivatives with gastrointestinalsparing properties

1 The effects of novel nitric oxide‐releasing nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory compounds (NO‐NSAIDs) on induction of nitric oxide (NO) synthase by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were examined in a murine cultured macrophage cell line, J774. 2 LPS‐induced nitrite production was markedly attenuated by the nitroxybutylester derivatives of flurbiprofen (FNBE), aspirin, ketoprofen, naproxen, diclofenac and ketorolac, with each compound reducing accumulated nitrite levels by >40% at the maximum concentrations (100 μg ml−1) used. 3 Further examination revealed that nitrite production was inhibited in a concentration‐dependent (1–100 μg ml−1) manner by FNBE which at 100 μg ml−1 decreased LPS‐stimulated levels by 63.3±8.6% (n=7). The parent compound flurbiprofen was relatively ineffective over the same concentration‐range, inhibiting nitrite accumulation by 24±0.9% (n=3) at the maximum concentration used (100 μg ml−1). 4 FNBE reduced LPS‐induced nitrite production when added to cells up to 4 h after LPS. Thereafter, FNBE caused very little or no reduction in nitrite levels. Furthermore NO‐NSAIDs (100 μg ml−1) did not inhibit the metabolism of L‐[3H]‐arginine to citrulline by NO synthase isolated from LPS‐activated macrophages. 5 Western blot analysis demonstrated that NO synthase expression was markedly attenuated following co‐incubation of J774 cell with LPS (1 μg ml−1; 24 h) and FNBE (100μg ml−1; 24 h). Thus taken together, these findings indicate that NO‐NSAIDs inhibit induction of NO synthase without directly affecting enzyme activity. 6 In conclusion our results indicate that NO‐NSAIDs can inhibit the inducible L‐arginine‐NO pathway, and are capable of suppressing NO synthesis by inhibiting expression of NO synthase. The clinical implications of these findings remain to be established.
Effect of Feeding System (Intensive versus Semi-intensive) on Yield and Fatty Acid Composition of Abdominal Fat in White Italian Geese

Abstract Janicki, B. , Rosinski, A. , Elminowska-Wenda, G. , Bielinska, H. and Gronek, P.2000. Effect of feeding system (intensive versus semi-intensive) on yield and fatty acid composition of abdominal fat in White Italian geese. J. Appl. Anim. Res., 17: 279–284. The aim of the experiment was to evaluate the effect of two feeding systems, intensive and semi-intensive, on yield and fatty acid composition of abdominal fat. The geese fed intensively consumed lesser dry matter but more ME. They yielded higher body weights, abdominal fat and skin with subcutaneous fat of breast muscle. Intensive feeding also resulted in higher mono-unsaturated fatty acids, primarily oleic acid and lesser poly unsaturated fatty acids (mostly linoleic acid) in abdominal fat.
