Assessment of morphological variation between stocks of bluefish, Pomatomus saltatrix (Actinopterygii, Perciformes, Pomatomidae), in the Aegean Sea, Black Sea, and Sea of Marmara

The population structure of the bluefish, Pomatomus saltatrix (Linnaeus, 1766), in Turkish waters is scarcely described in the literature. To identify any distinct population units of bluefish, and reaffirm the findings of a previous study, four areas were selected: the Aegean Sea, western Black Sea, eastern Black Sea, and the Sea of Marmara. In this study, truss network morphometrics, meristics, and otolith shape analyses were successfully applied for different population identification of the bluefish. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) revealed no differences for truss network morphometrics, meristic, and otolith shape characters between males and females. Hence, both sexes were combined for the discriminant function (DFA) and the Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Using univariate ANOVA based on the stepwise method revealed a highly significant difference among different locations for each truss-morphometrics and otolith shape characters. Furthermore, six out of seven meristic characters also showed significant differences between different areas. Based on PCA, 25 out of 27 truss-morphometric characters had a loading value above 0.70, which was considered significant in this study. The results of DFA show clear patterns of truss-morphometric character variations, forming four distinct clusters that were well separated from each other, indicating the existence of four morphologically differentiated populations of the bluefish. The proportion of the correctly classified Aegean Sea, western Black Sea, and eastern Black Sea bluefish samples to their original groups were 100%, demonstrating clear separation of these stocks from each other. Whereas up to 5% of the total samples of the Sea of Marmara were incorrectly classified, assigning to the eastern Black Sea. These findings were supported by meristic and otolith shape characters that also indicated four morphologically differentiated populations of the bluefish. However, their overall proportion of correct classification was relatively lower than the truss-morphometric traits method. The findings suggest the requirement of strategic assessment and management of each bluefish stock separately to use them sustainably in the future.
EFFECT OF CLIMATIC VARIABILITY ON COTTON PRODUCTION TRENDS IN SENGEREMA DISTRICT-TANZANIA

Cotton production in Sengerema Mwanza region is one of the major economic activities. Other economic activities include fishing industry, livestock keeping, mining, and cereal crops production. The focus of the study was to establish the influence of climatic conditions on cotton production trends in Sengerema District, Mwanza Region and to identify the essential climatic condition for cotton production that would improve productivity in Sengerema District. Both primary and secondary data were used to explore the relationship existing between cotton production and climatic condition. Secondary data were obtained from cotton board reports and from other publications while questionnaires were used to obtain information from the farmers about important production aspects like rainfall, soil fertility, temperature and general production trend which were carefully analysed for interpretation. The study’s analysis has shown a very strong relationship between climatic condition and the general production trend. This provides the way forward to reduce production difficulties through persuading people around the Lake Zone to avoid poor farming practices which can affect the environment and general climatic condition which is likely to harm the cotton farming activities. Cotton farmers have to adapt the precision agriculture so as to increase quality and quantity of output; eventually to be the giant cotton producer and exporter in the world market.
Comparison of open and laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer: a low volume center experience.

Objectives In gastric cancer, laparoscopic gastrectomy is commonly performed in Asian countries. In other regions where tumor incidence is relatively low and patient characteristics are different, developments in this issue have been limited. In this study, we aimed to compare the early results for patients who underwent open or laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer in a low volume center. Material and Methods We retrospectively analyzed the data of patients who underwent curative gastric resection (open gastrectomy n: 30; laparoscopic gastrectomy n: 30) by the same surgical team between 2014 and 2019. Results The tumor was localized in 60% (36/60) of the patients in the proximal and middle 1/3 stomach. In laparoscopic gastrectomy group, the operation time was significantly longer (median, 297.5 vs 180 minutes; p <0.05). In open gastrectomy group, intraoperative blood loss (median 50 vs 150 ml; p <0.05) was significantly higher. Tumor negative surgical margin was achieved in all cases. Although the mean number of lymph nodes harvested in laparoscopic gastrectomy group was higher than the open surgery group, the difference was not statistically significant (28.2 ± 11.48 vs 25.8 ± 9.78, respectively; p= 0.394). The rate of major complications (Clavien-Dindo ≥ grade 3) was less common in the laparoscopic group (6.7% vs 16.7%; p= 0.642). Mortality was observed in four patients (2 patients open, 2 patients laparoscopic). Conclusion In low-volume centers with advanced laparoscopic surgery experience, laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer can be performed with the risk of morbidity-mortality similar to open gastrectomy.

Quantitative Behavior Based Intrusion Detection System for MANETS

- The use of wireless links makes a Mobile Ad hoc Network(MANET) susceptible to malicious attacks, ranging from passive eavesdropping to active interference. In wired networks an attacker has to pass through a set of firewalls and gateways to access the network. Whereas MANETS does not have firewalls or gateways so attacks can take place from all directions. Every node in a MANET is an autonomous unit in itself and free to move independently. So any node without adequate protection is very much prone to be captured or compromised. Intrusion prevention techniques like encryption and authentication can reduce the risk of intrusion but cannot completely eliminate them so a second level of defense is needed. We propose a new quantitative method of intrusion detection system to detect intrusion in MANETS with mobile nodes. The proposed method is a behavioral anomaly based system which is dynamic, scalable, configurable and robust. For simulating the proposed system we use AODV routing protocol. It is observed that the malicious node detection rate is very good and the false positive detection rate is low.
Simply Complex: The Efficient Synthesis of an Intricate Molecular Acceptor for High-Performance Air-Processed and Air-Tested Fullerene-Free Organic Solar Cells

A perylene diimide (PDI) flanked diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) π-conjugated small molecule has been synthesized through an efficient and sustainable direct heteroarylation protocol. When paired with the donor polymer PTB7-Th, air-processed and tested bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) organic solar cells (OSCs) achieved a high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 5.6%. The new acceptor showed favorable morphological changes upon solvent vapor annealing leading to a near 3-fold increase in PCE. This result is among the best reported utilizing DPP-based acceptors in air-processed and tested OSCs. All solar cells exhibited good air and light stability over a 35-day evaluation period.
Innovation and organizational performance as antecedents of competitive advantage in the context of beef cattle

Agribusiness is a set of linked operations with the objective of producing, benefiting and distributing food. This sector deals with the various activities ranging from genetic improvement to the delivery of the final product. The agents, whether small or large, are inserted in at least some part of the production chain. In this context, it is noteworthy that the innovation that has been defined as a critical issue for cooperation networks. Theory has pointed out that innovation, and organizational performance, has an influence on competitive advantage. In view of this, the general objective of this study was to identify whether innovation and organizational performance are antecedents of competitive advantage in the context of beef cattle, in the view of agents working in cooperation networks in southern Brazil. Therefore, the method proposed for the development of this study is of a qualitative nature, operationalized through in-depth interviews and non-participatory observation. Nine producers were interviewed, from four cooperation networks in the states of Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul. The results obtained show that innovation and organizational performance are antecedents of competitive advantage, in the perception of the producers who participated in the study.

Structural Characteristics of Natural Limestone Forests in Cat Ba Biosphere Reserves, Vietnam

An ecological understanding of natural forests after anthropogenic intervention is important for sustainable forest management. This study analyzed the overstory characteristics (species composition, growth, and diameter distribution) and regeneration (species richness, density, and height distribution) in natural limestone forests in Cat Ba Biosphere Reserve, Vietnam. Data were collected in nine study plots established in selective-logged (SLF), clear-cut (CCF), and unlogged (UF) forests. Results indicated that the overstory characteristics of SLF and CCF were lower than that of UF (species richness was 33 in UF, 20 in SLF, and 16 in CCF; DBH was 20.6 ±13.7 cm in UF, 16.9 ±9.7 cm in SLF, and 10.5 ±3.8 cm in CCF; Basal area was 38.2 m2 ha-1 in UF, 24.0 m2 ha-1 in SLF, and 11.4 m2 ha-1 in CCF). For regeneration, species richness also varied from UF (25) to SLF (13) and CCF (5), while seedling density reversely increased. We concluded that a 20-year restoration was insufficient for artificially disturbed forests to recover their ecological functions, regardless of logging intensities and techniques applied.
Studying the change in inclination and semi-major axis of the satellites for low earth orbits

The main point of this paper is to evaluate the change in the inclination (i) and semi-major axis (a) due to tidal perturbation in orbital elements of a low Earth orbiting satellite LEO's. The orbital elements in the sense of Keplerian motion are affect perturbation in a satellite motion and change in the orbital elements must be employed to study the perturbations of the tidal effect on these satellites. These elements remain constant in the absence of perturbation where perturbed equation of motion was numerically integrated using Lagrange’s formulas where numerical analysis is the most suitable method to analyze disturbances. The findings demonstrate that the tidal disruption of the orbital elements relies on the satellite's inclination the variation in the ratio (∆i/i) and (∆a/a) decreases with increasing the inclination of satellite, while it increases with increasing the time and the difference in inclination reduces as the satellite's inclination rises, and the difference in semi major axis increases as time increases.

The mean reduction in the total Pre and post treatment ADHD RS score from baseline following drug therapy was 17.9 and 15.1 respectively in Methyl phenidate and Atomoxetine groups which was not statistically significant. 67.5% of children on Methyl phenidate showed significant improvement CGI scale compared to 60% on Atomoxetine. There was no significant difference between the groups. Both the drugs were well tolerated.
Empowering people Open Education and Open Source for Sustainable Economic Activity 25

R esource-efficient living requires changes on numerous levels. These changes include, in particular, the use of technology, which is decisively shaped by individual skills, political framework conditions and the availability of open technologies and infrastructures. This is shown by juxtaposing the sustainability mantra of “reduce, reuse, recycle” with excerpts from the definition of “Open”: “Open means anyone can freely access, use, modify, and share for any purpose. ” Without technicaltechnological competences, which at their core includes practical skills and systemic understanding that go beyond the application level, without open technologies such as open-source software and hardware, and without makerspaces that enable repair and self-learning by the general public, technology is always just a fast-moving consumer object that is difficult to adapt to new circumstances and to integrate into sustainable local cycles.
Estimates of the magnetocaloric effect in (Nd,Ca)MnO3 and (Gd,Ca)MnO3 based on magnetic transition entropies

The perovskite manganite families Gd1−xCaxMnO3 and Nd1−xCaxMnO3, where 0⩽x⩽1 (hereafter GCMO and NCMO, respectively) were screened for the prospect of a strong magnetocaloric effect by experimentally determining magnetic transition entropies. Magnetic transitions in the temperature range of 5–400 K were investigated in external fields up to 5 T. Entropy-based refrigerant capacities and magnetic hysteresis losses were also taken into account. The evolution of the magnetocaloric performance estimates versus the Ca concentration, x, was found to be qualitatively identical to that reported in Pr1−xCaxMnO3 (PCMO). In line with this analogy, the highest estimated magnetocaloric performance of GCMO and NCMO was found in the low-x region, below the temperature of 140 K. Here the entropy-based figures of merit were comparable to the best magnetocaloric transitions seen in e.g. PCMO and Gd5Si2Ge2. The low magnetic hysteresis, dielectricity and tunability by forming solid solutions with other manganites add to the potential of GCMO and NCMO as low-temperature magnetic refrigerants. At higher temperatures their magnetocaloric applicability is very limited at best, but a side-by-side comparison of GCMO, NCMO and PCMO can also be seen as a valuable theoretical instrument for understanding the general magnetic phase diagram of low bandwidth manganites.

Model of Formation of Innovative Culture as a Key Factor of Innovative Development of the Region

In the knowledge economy, the concept of "culture" is becoming an increasingly necessary attribute of the region. Culture is gradually filled with innovative content in accordance with the formation of a new system of interconnected spatial and technological chains. For any region, the process of interaction between participants in innovation activities is of particular importance. Moreover, the innovation activity of the regional level itself is largely determined by the level of innovation culture. For the majority of Russian regions, we can note a low level of such culture, which caused the urgency of studying this problem. The aim of the research is to provide theoretical justification and develop a model solution for the formation of an innovative culture in the region that meets the requirements of the knowledge economy. The leading approaches to the research are comparative and system analysis, which allow us to fully take into account regional specifics, as well as to form a system of parameters that are relevant for assessing the innovation culture and the level of its impact on the innovative development of the region. To achieve this goal required the following tasks of research: to determine the factors of innovation culture in the region; to prove the structure of the modern paradigm of innovative development of the region taking into account the importance of the cultural dimension; to develop a model of formation of innovative culture of the region; to propose a method of constructing a structural profile of innovation culture in the region taking into account its specificity. The recommendations will help to increase confidence in the creation of the necessary potential for innovative development of the region, as well as to ensure security control when implementing innovations in various sectors of the economy. The research materials can be used as methodological support in substantiating the directions of innovative development of regions.
Transcriptome Analysis of Chinese Ficus tikoua

Ficus tikoua is a woody plant used as traditional medicine. To investigate the genetic variation of F. tikoua cultivars, the gene expression profiles of Chinese F. tikoua were obtained by using the Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform. The results showed that a total of 197 362 transcripts were obtained from the transcriptome of F. tikoua, with a total and average length of 114 072 125 and 577 bp, respectively. There were 139 992 transcripts (70.93% of total transcripts) annotated by using BlastX and BlastN. There were 12 397, 12 340, 10 373, 94 431, 71 830, and 44 465 differentially expressed genes identified, and 126, 129, 125, 134, 138, and 137 metabolic pathways annotated from six pairs of tissue samples, blades and stems of three F. tikoua cultivars, respectively. So, these would help for understanding not only the genetic characteristics of F. tikoua, but also the metabolic pathway changes in different tissues.
