Average yield of ZPCC 341 due to different percentage of fertile and sterile plants participation

The aim of the study was to determine the changes in grain yields in relation to the sterile to fertile plants ratio.Total of 21 mixtures of 0, 5, 10 up to 100 % of fertile plants mixed with the sterile variant of the hybrid ZPSC 341 was made. Because of reliability of the experiment the original fertile hybrid ZPSC 341 was used as a check three times. Effects of fertile, i.e. sterile cytoplasm of the observed hybrid on yield and yield variations were studied. The extent of dependence of the percentage of fertile plants on yield was determined. Furthermore, the sterile to fertile hybrid variant ratio resulting in the highest yield was established. The analysis of results indicate that the highest average yield (13.273 t ha) was obtained with 90 % fertility, while the lowest average yield (11.510 t ha) was gained with 10 % fertility.

Stabilization of calcium oxyapatites with lanthanum(III)-created anionic vacancies

Two series of samples of the system Ca 10-x La x (PO 4 ) 6 (OH) y (0 ≤ x ≤ 2), have been synthesized by solid-state reaction at high temperature. In this composition range the apatite structure is maintained. Cationic distribution was analyzed by Rietveld refinement of the XRD data, showing a preferential substitution of La(III) ions in the Ca(2) position. The introduction of the trivalent ion provokes the transformation of OH - to O 2- ions. Stable oxy- or oxyhydroxyapatites with numerous anionic vacancies have been synthesized as a function of the lanthanum content or the synthesis conditions.
Towards a Comprehensive Set of PII for Ensuring Privacy Protections

Personal Identifiable Information (PII) refers to any information that can be used to trace or identify an individual. With increasing online communication and a remote workforce, sharing PII has become mainstream online. In turn, this allows adversaries to attack account users’ systems, and impact users financially, economically, and affect their reputation. While the Internet, innovation and industrialization has become the important part of our social and economic structure as a natural component, each individual’s development depends on reliable and resilient infrastructure. Since the Internet is an unavoidable resource in our everyday life, this has become necessary to ensure safe and secure communication among different parties to enhance technological capabilities of industrial sectors all over the world. Industries are liable to keep people in society safe in online environments, which makes this a good time to consider a sustainable development plan to ensure security and privacy when preserving online communication for individuals. There are different mechanisms that exist to provide users with a certain level of privacy and safety. With the overarching technological development, it has become complicated to measure and handle PII (directly or indirectly) considering the recent setting of piecewise protection for different data types. In our study, we detail how organizations provide protection for different data types among PII. In addition, we have conducted a short study that analyzes online social data privacy on Facebook and Reddit in regards to how they handle collected data. Finally, we offer several paths for future research that must be considered for a comprehensive privacy protection program for users’ PII when developing resilient infrastructure, including regional and transborder.
Reptation in langmuir polymer monolayers

We report the existence of reptation motion typical of entangled polymer chains in dense polymer monolayers spread at the air–water interface. Ellipsometry determinations of the layer thickness reveal a thickening of the layers in the semi-dilute region, enabling the existence of entanglements. Relaxation measurements were performed using compression and shear surface deformations. The resulting dependence on the chain concentration and size are compatible with the existence of diffusion reptation motions controlling molecular transport inside the monolayer. As in the bulk, these features are observed above a critical number of monomers, Ne, for which chain entanglements become possible
Fragmented QRS Dynamics Towards Electrical Storm in ICD Patients

Electrical storm (ES) in ICD patients, defined as 3 or more appropriate ICD interventions within a time span of 24 hours, is a medical emergency associated with adverse outcome. However, it is debated if ES is only a marker of progressive near end-stage cardiac disease or an ar-rhythmogenic entity on its own. Better understanding and prediction are necessary to manage the burden of ES. The goal of this study is to explore the relation between the presence of fragmented QRS (fQRS) and the manifestation of electrical storm in patients with an ICD for ischemic heart disease. A balanced dataset of 100 patients was considered for this study, where 50 patients with ischemic heart disease and dilated cardiomyopathy present ES. 12-lead ECG signals were analyzed from 3 years before until the moment of ES, divided in 4 visits. The fQRS level in the 12-lead ECG data recorded in each visit was automatically quantified with a score between 0 and 1 for each lead. A Friedman test between the first and last visit for each of the groups showed a significant increase in the average level of fragmentation for the patients presenting ES, absent in the control group. This suggests that there is a trend towards deterioration in fQRS for patients manifesting ES with an ICD for ischemic heart disease.
Mineral nutrient content of commonly consumed leafy vegetables in northern Ghana

Leafy vegetables serve as the base of soups, a significant component of Ghanaian food recipes. The varying climatic conditions across Ghana and inefficient food distribution channels have resulted in the existence of different food crops in different regions. Anecdotally, Ghanaians generally believe that the consumption of Colocasia esculenta leaf improves iron status. In this study, the levels of mineral nutrients: calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), sodium (Na) and zinc (Zn) in the leaves of Hibiscus sabdariffa, Amaranthus spinosus, Hibiscus cannabinus, Solanum macrocapon and Vigna unguiculata that are popularly used in food recipes in northern Ghana (compose of the Northern, Upper East and Upper West Regions), were compared with the levels in Colocasia esculenta leaf. The leafy vegetables/greens consumed in northern Ghana were sourced from market centres in the Northern and Upper East Regions (savannah zone); Colocasia esculenta leaf was obtained from market centres in Ashanti Region (forest zone). The leaves were shredded and air-dried for 7 days. The dried leaves were ground and analysed for the mineral nutrients using Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis. The Ca content of Hibiscus sabdariffa was significantly higher than that of Colocasia esculenta by 1.07-fold difference (p<0.05). However, compared with Amaranthus spinosus, Hibiscus cannabinus, Solanum macrocapon and Vigna unguiculata, the level of Ca in the Colocasia esculenta leaf was 1.23- to 1.84-fold significantly higher (p<0.05). The Fe level in the leafy vegetables commonly consumed in northern Ghana was significantly lower (2.92- to 70.60-fold difference, p<0.0001) compared with the Colocasia esculenta leaf. Significant differences (p<0.05) were also observed in the levels of K, Mg and Zn between the other greens studied and the Colocasia esculenta leaf. The differences were between 1.17- to 1.48-fold (K), 1.08- to 1.54-fold (Mg) and 1.15- to 2.59-fold (Zn). This study shows that the leafy vegetables commonly consumed in northern Ghana contain lower levels of the selected mineral nutrients analysed compared with those of Colocasia esculenta leaf. There is a need to find alternative greens that are available or could be cultivated in this part of the country.

Prediction of Pyrolysis Process for Wood and Grass Biomass by CPD Model

This paper presents new pyrolysis model of wood and grass biomass. It is named biomass-CPD model. A scheme of the Chemical Percolation Devolatilization (CPD) model which was used in numerical analysis of coal pyrolysis was applied to description of wood and grass biomass pyrolysis. Cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin which are three main components of wood and grass were modeled at first. A molecular structure of each component was determined from that of its monomer, and a rate constant of each component was determined from both the conventional model and the pyrolysis curve from experiment. The pyrolysis process of wood and grass biomass was expressed by a summation of that of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin calculated from the developed model. The content of each component in wood and grass was predicted from the ultimate analysis and the proximate analysis of wood and grass. By using above-mentioned new method, the pyrolysis process and the yields of total volatiles and tar of wood and grass biomass was predicted by only values of biomass properties and pyrolysis conditions. From a comparison between calculation and experimental results, the predicted pyrolysis process and yields of total volatiles and tar of various wood and grass biomass pyrolyzed under various conditions are in good agreement with the experimental ones, and we show the validity of the biomass-CPD model.
Effects of Salinity on some Physiological Traits in Wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) Cultivars

The effect of salt stress on some physiological traits of wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) was studied in a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications, under greenhouse condition. Salinity treatments carried out in four levels (1.3 dS m -1 as control, 5, 10, 15 dS m -1 ) via calcium chloride and sodium chloride with 1:10 (Ca 2+ :Na + ratio). Wheat genotypes included four cultivars, Sistani and Neishabour as tolerant cultivars, and Tajan and Bahar as sensitive cultivars. Chlorophyll content (CHL), Leaf relative water content (RWC), sodium and potassium contents, and also K + /Na + ratio were measured at tillering and flowering stages, Total grain yield and yield components were determined. Salinity stress decreased relative water content (RWC), K + content, K + /Na + ratio and grain yield; however Na+ content in all the genotypes and in both stages were increased. CHL content increased at tillering stage while it is decreased at flowering stage. Sistani and Neishabour cultivars had more amounts of K + content, K + /Na + ratio and RWC under salt conditions, at tillering stage Bahar and Tajan cultivars recorded higher CHL and sodium content at both stages. Bahar showed the highest Na + content and the most reduction in yield, so it can be considered as more salt sensitive than Tajan genotype. Results showed that the salinity tolerance in tolerant cultivars as manifested by lower decrease in grain yield is associated with the lower sodium accumulation and higher K + /Na + compared to the sensitive cultivars.

Analysis of the Contribution of Internal Vibrations to the Statistical Weights of Equilibrium Conformations of Macromolecules

The statistical weights of equilibrium conformations of macromolecules contain contributions from internal vibrations. An analysis of such vibrations, in the absence and presence of solvent, is presented from a quantum‐statistical‐mechanical point of view. Several classical approximations to the quantum‐mechanically correct expression, with different degrees of accuracy, are derived. In all of these approximations, all internal degrees of freedom of the polymer are divided into two classes: hard (bond stretching and bond angle bending) and soft (torsional rotations around single bonds, i.e., variation of dihedral angles). Since the hard variables oscillate many times before the soft variables change in value by an appreciable amount, the hard variables can be treated effectively as parameters (i.e., not as independent variables), which are (i) functions of the instantaneous values of the soft variables, or (ii) simply constants, the latter treatment being less accurate. In treatment (i) the molecule is re.
Enhancement of thermoelectric efficiency in vapor deposited Sb2Te3 and Sb1.8In0.2Te3 crystals

Pure and indium doped antimony telluride (Sb2Te3) crystals find applications in high performance room temperature thermoelectric devices. Owing to the meagre physical properties exhibited on the cleavage faces of melt grown samples, an attempt was made to explore the thermoelectric parameters of p‐type crystals grown by the physical vapor deposition (PVD) method. The crystal structure of the grown platelets (9 mm× 8 mm× 2 mm) was identified as rhombohedral by x‐ray powder diffraction method. The energy dispersive analysis confirmed the elemental composition of the crystals. The electron microscopic and scanning probe image studies revealed that the crystals were grown by layer growth mechanism with low surface roughness. At room temperature (300 K), the values of Seebeck coefficient S (⊥ c) and power factor were observed to be higher for Sb1.8In0. 2Te3 crystals (155 μVK−1, 2.669 × 10−3 W/mK2) than those of pure ones. Upon doping, the thermal conductivity κ (⊥ c) was decreased by 37.14% and thus thermoelectric efficiency was improved. The increased figure of merit, Z = 1.23 × 10−3 K−1 for vapour grown Sb1.8In0. 2Te3 platelets indicates that it could be used as a potential thermoelectric candidate.
Solvent extraction : a study of the liquid/liquid interface with ligands combining x-ray and neutron reflectivity measurements

Dans le cadre du retraitement des dechets nucleaires et du recyclage de metaux critiques, l'extraction par solvant est l'une des technologies les plus utilisees. L'interface liquide entre deux fluides non miscibles est consideree comme une region ou de multiples phenomenes physiques et chimiques sont a prendre en compte et peuvent limiter ou favoriser le transfert d'especes entre les deux fluides. La structure de ces interfaces doit etre connue en fonction de plusieurs parametres thermodynamiques pour pouvoir determiner le paysage energetique associee. La reflectivite de neutrons et de rayons est un des outils appropries pour sonder ce genre d'interfaces enfouies et fluctuantes a l'echelle nanometrique et a l'equilibre. Pour cette etude, une nouvelle cellule a ete construite et un programme specifique d'analyse de donnees a ete elabore.Nous avons egalement porte notre etude sur deux differents systemes bi-phasiques (eau / dodecane) contenant des sels de lanthanides et deux differents ligands non ioniques (ou extractants) : une diamide de type DMDBTDMA et de type DMDOHEMA, ces deux extractants etant connus pour avoir des comportements differents dans un processus d'extraction de cations metalliques en phase organique. Bien que la structure amphiphile des deux diamides soit bien connue, la structure de l'interface liquide / liquide semble etre differente de celle que l'on pourrait s'attendre avec des tensioactifs classiques. L'organisation de ces ligands a l'interface est en effet plus complexe, varie en fonction de leurs concentrations dans la phase organique (seules des concentrations inferieures a la concentration d'agregation critique ont ete etudiees) et en fonction de la concentration d'acide et de sel dans la phase aqueuse. Une organisation de type monocouche n'est pas l'organisation principale de ces systemes a l'equilibre mais on observe plutot une couche epaisse de ligands.Plus precisement, dans le cas de la DMDBTDMA, cette region plus epaisse (environ trois a quatre fois la longueur du ligand) cree une region interfaciale ou les molecules d'huile et d'eau peuvent se melanger ainsi que les sels. Le systeme DMDOHEMA, presente une structuration differente avec egalement une epaisse couche de ligand (environ deux fois la longueur du ligand) mais situee plus a l'interieur de la phase huileuse et distinct de la distribution des sels a l'interface. Ces differentes structures interfaciales de DMDBTDMA et DMDOHEMA peuvent permettre d'expliquer les differents regimes de transfert ionique qualifies soit de diffusionnel ou de cinetique.
Carbon monoxide hydrogenation over molybdenum carbide catalysts

Supported and unsupported molybdenum and molybdenum carbides have been studied as catalysts of CO-H2 reactions at 570 K and atmospheric pressure. The initial turnover rates of these catalysts were comparable to those of the more active group VIII elements. However, all molybdenum-based catalysts showed a hydrocarbon product distribution different from those for typical group VIII metals. Furthermore, production of a large amount of CO2 (instead of water) and a high paraffin/olefin ratio reflected high activities of these catalysts for the water-gas shift reaction and hydrogenation, respectively. The high water-gas shift reaction activity allowed a CO-rich synthesis gas to be used efficiently over Mo-based catalysts. The CO-H2 reactions appear to be structure insensitive on molybdenum carbide catalysts, since the rates were independent of particle size and crystal structure of unsupported catalysts and of metal loading of supported catalysts.
Toxicity of Ambient Particulate Matter II. Acutetoxicity study in asthmatic mice following 3-day exposure to fine ammonium ferrosulfate, a model compound for secondaryaerosol of PM10

In this second report on acute inhalation studies with model compounds for secondary particulate matter, results are presented of a study with fine ammonium ferrosulfate aerosol in asthmatic animals. We hypothesised that an aerosol with a transitional metal could produce enhanced symptoms of asthma. We exposed healthy and 'asthmatic' mice to fine (MMD = 459 nm; 4.1 x 10 exp 3 particles per cm3) ammonium ferrosulfate. The mean actual mass concentration was 250 mug/m3. The pulmonary response in mice was determined using bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) analysis, airway reactivity measurements and histopathology. The results suggest that ammonium ferrosulfate as a model compound for the secondary fraction of ambient PM 10 at concentrations near ambient levels and using short-term exposures exert no pulmonary effects in healthy mice and in a asthma mouse model. In comparison with a previous experiment in which animals were exposed to ammonium bisulfate, no additional effect of the transitional metal, iron, could be established.
