Evaluating the Fruit Production and Quality of Cherry Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme)

Abstract. The greatest genetic diversity of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) in terms of fruit quality characteristics such as flavor, aroma, color, and lycopene and b-carotene contents is found in wild species. This study evaluated the agronomic characteristics and fruit quality of 30 cherry tomato introductions of the germplasm bank of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia - Sede Palmira in trials conducted at the Montelindo experimental farm of the Universidad de Caldas (1010 m above sea level, average temperature 22.8 °C, average annual rainfall 2200 mm, 76% relative humidity). A 5 x 6 rectangular lattice experimental design was used with 30 treatments (introductions) and a commercial control (Sweet Million), 4 replicates/treatment, and 5 plants/replicate as experimental unit. The descriptors used were those suggested by the former International Plant Genetic Resources Institute, now Bioversity International. Data were statistically analyzed by ANOVA and Duncan's means test using the SAS program. In addition, principal component and cluster dendrogram analyses using the SAS Princom and Cluster procedure (SAS Institute, Cary, NC) were performed. Six principal components accounted for 80.39% of the morphological variability of the introductions evaluated. The most promising materials in terms of average fruit weight, yield per plant and per hectare, and soluble solids, vitamin C and lycopene contents were IAC1624, IAC391, IAC3652, LA2131, IAC424, IAC1621, IAC426, LA1480 and IAC1688. The broad phenotypic variability observed in the evaluated introductions favors the potential selection and breeding of tomato for traits associated with fruit production and quality.
Average Fracture Energy for Crack Propagation in Postfire Concrete

Wedge-splitting tests of postfire concrete specimens were carried out in the present research to obtain the load-displacement curves. Ten temperatures varying from room temperature to 600°C were employed. In order to calculate the accurate fracture energy, the tails of load-displacement curves were best fitted using exponential and power functions. Three fracture energy quantities (fracture energy , stable fracture energy , and unstable fracture energy ) with their variation tendency and their mutual relationship were determined to predict energy consumption for the complete fracture propagation. Additionally, the stable fracture work was also calculated. All these fracture parameters sustain an increase-decrease tendency which means that the fracture property of postfire concrete shares the same tendency.
Recoiling Black Holes: Electromagnetic Signatures, Candidates, and Astrophysical Implications

Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) may not always reside right at the centers of their host galaxies. This is a prediction of numerical relativity simulations, which imply that the newly formed single SMBH, after binary coalescence in a galaxy merger, can receive kick velocities up to several 1000 km/s due to anisotropic emission of gravitational waves. Long-lived oscillations of the SMBHs in galaxy cores, and in rare cases even SMBH ejections from their host galaxies, are the consequence. Observationally, accreting recoiling SMBHs would appear as quasars spatially and/or kinematically offset from their host galaxies. The presence of the “kicks” has a wide range of astrophysical implications which only now are beginning to be explored, including consequences for black hole and galaxy assembly at the epoch of structure formation, black hole feeding, and unified models of active galactic nuclei (AGN). Here, we review the observational signatures of recoiling SMBHs and the properties of the first candidates which have emerged, including follow-up studies of the candidate recoiling SMBH of SDSSJ092712.65
Review : Biofunctionalized QuantumDots in Biology andMedicine

Quantum dot (QD) nanocrystals which have important optical properties, in particular, the wavelength of their fluorescence, depend strongly on their size. Colloidal QDs once dispersed in a solvent are quite interesting fluorescence probes for all types of labelling studies because of their reduced tendency to photo bleach. In this review, we will give an overview on how QDs have been used so far in cell biology. In particular, we will discuss the biologically relevant properties of QDs and focus on four topics: labeling of cellular structures and receptors with QDs, incorporation of QDs by living cells, tracking the path and the fate of individual cells using QD labels, and QDs as contrast agents. QDs are seen to be much better in terms of efficacy over radioisotopes in tracing medicine in vivo. They are rapidly being applied to existing and emerging technologies but here this review deals with a comprehensive compilation of the biological relevance of quantum dots. It covers important information from 1999 till 2008 with few from 1982 to 1997.

We discuss the appearance of odd-frequency Cooper pairs in two-band superconductors by solving the Gor’kov equation analytically. We introduce the equal-time s-wave pair potentials as realized in MgB2 and iron pnictides. Although the order parameter symmetry is conventional, the band degree of freedom enriches the symmetry variety of pairing correlations. The hybridization and the asymmetry between the two conduction bands induce odd-frequency pairs as a subdominant pairing correlation in the uniform ground state. To study the magnetic response of odd-frequency Cooper pairs, we analyze the Meissner kernel represented by the Gor’kov Green function. In contrast to the even-frequency pairs linked to the pair potential, the induced odd-frequency Cooper pairs indicate a paramagnetic property. We also discuss the relation between the amplitude of the odd-frequency pairing correlation and the stability of superconducting states in terms of the self-consistent equation for the pair potential.
Pedestrian detection via fusional convolutional features

The pedestrian detection methods based on convolutional networks showed a more advantage than methods with artificial features. However, most algorithms do not achieve the desired results because they have not made full use of convolutional features. In this paper, we proposed a model called Multiple Fused CNNs, which utilizes fusional feature maps from multi-scale convolutional layers to detect pedestrians.

SPIDER: Managing Clinical Data of Cancer Patients Treated through a Multidisciplinary Approach by a Palm Based System

Background: The complexity of modern oncology, based on multi-disciplinary management of cancer patients, results in critical amounts of data, leading to problems in managing and sharing information. Methods: Spider is a multi-user system, based on integrated palm technology, created to facilitate data recording, managing and sharing, through Intra-Internet connection. By palms or PCs, data are collected directly at the place where information is generated. Every health professional can edit, modify and display all of the patient's data according to his/her operational level. A powerful engine enables Spider’s users to create series of cancer patients’ appointments linked to one another by specified time intervals and save them as “Protocols”. Applying a protocol to the patient, the system schedules a wave of appointments and alerts keeping the correlation with time intervals previously specified by specialists. XML technology is integrated with traditional RDBMS technology to build the Electronic Patient File (EPF) updated during each patient’s admission or consultation, including any new diagnostic/therapeutic events and collective decisions. The system automatically produces all clinical documents routinely in use (discharge letters, exams’ requests, etc.). Results: Spider’s different archives include 4387 patients (Prostate, n=849; Lung, n=1596; Rectum, n=1541; Head & Neck, n=291; Cervix, n=110). The EPF includes specific modules: staging, surgery, chemotherapy, hormonotherapy, radiotherapy, toxicity, pathology, follow-up and clinical summary. Spider Hospitalization displays the ward map and important details of patients occupying each single bed. Conclusions: Spider makes data capture easier and accurate. The availability of large amounts of information accelerates outcome analysis and improves cancer research.
THE VALUATION OF HEALTH IMPACTS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

Valuing the health impacts in money terms can provide an important aid to the decision-maker in setting priorities for investments that improve the quality of life. In many developing countries, however, a shortage of data often make the estimation of these impacts not practicable in the time available. This paper, after providing the conceptual basis for these valuations, discusses how data and functions from other sources can be transferred to the site and country in question with specific examples for developing countries.
Homelessness and Substance Abuse: Which Comes First?

Abstract The present paper uses a social selection and social adaptation framework to investigate whether problematic substance use normally precedes or follows homelessness. Clarifying temporal order is important for policy and program design. The paper uses information from a large dataset (n=4,291) gathered at two services in Melbourne, supplemented by 65 indepth interviews. We found that 43% of the sample had substance abuse problems. Of these people, one-third had substance abuse problems before they became homeless and two-thirds developed these problems after they became homeless. We also found that young people were more at risk of developing substance abuse problems after becoming homeless than older people and that most people with substance abuse issues remain homeless for 12 months or longer. The paper concludes with three policy recommendations.
Decorative Line and Edge Extraction in Cartoon Images

Decorative Lines and edges in a cartoon image are the most important elements to convey its semantic information. In this study, we propose a method to extract both decorative lines and edges of the cartoon image at the same time. Firstly, we use the Hessian matrix to compute the direction perpendicular to the decorative lines in the image. Then, non-maximum suppression is applied to the image's second derivative of Gaussian to locate the possible decorative line's center. Secondly, we use directional zero-crossing (the zero-crossing of the first Gaussian derivative on the precomputed direction) to verify the existence of the decorative lines. Finally, decorative lines and the edges detected by non-maximum suppression on the first Gaussian derivative are fused together. The experimental results show that our method is more effective than other existed methods in literature for complicated cartoon images.
THE EFFECT OF COMPLIANT RUNNING ON IMPACT ACCELERATIONS AND ENERGY EXPENDITURE

This study examined the effect that a compliant running style has on impact accelerations and energy expenditure, in comparison to normal running. Twelve subjects completed a three week familiarization protocol followed by two separate testing days. Impact accelerations were measured with a Myomonitor wireless system (DELSYS, USA) and oxygen kinetics were recorded during a 6 minute trial using a Vmax gas flow sensor and analyser (Vmax system, Sensor Medics, VIASYS Healthcare, Netherlands) to determine energy expenditure. Compliant running resulted in a significant decrease in sacral (27%) and head (39%) impact accelerations, a non-significant decrease in tibia (21%) impact accelerations, and a significant increase in energy expenditure (23%).
EEG-derived indexes for monitoring the depth of anesthesia.

Monitoring the depth of anesthesia is an integral part of the modern anesthesiological practice. Historically, the classic signs for monitoring the depth of anesthesia, such as haemodynamics, patient’s movements, sweating and pupil size are gradually losing weight and yielding to EEGbased techniques, the most popular in practice being the BIS-monitor, the evoked potentials and the EEG- entropy. This review aims to describe the characteristics of these techniques and the basis for their application in practice. The use of EEG-based aneshthesia monitoring techniques in intensive structures is considered, as well as the use of EEG-entropy in childhood.
LEVEL CROSSING RATE OF MACRODIVERSITY WITH THREE MICRODIVERSITY SC RECEIVERS OVER GAMMA SHADOWED NAKAGAMI-M CHANNEL

Macrodiversity system with macrodiversity selection combining (SC) receiver and three microdiversity SC receivers operating over Gamma shadowed Nakagami-m multipath fading environment is considered in this work. Level crossing arte of signals at outputs microdiversity SC receivers are calculated and by using these formulas, closed form expression for average level crossing rate of macrodiversity SC receiver output signal is evaluated. Average fade duration of proposed macrodiversity system can be calculated as ratio of outage probability and level crossing rate. By using obtained results the influence of Nakagami-m multipath fading severity parameter, Gamma shadowing severity parameter and shadowing correlation parameter on average level crossing rate is analyzed and discussed.

Substrate in the emergence and initial growth of seedlings of Caesalpinia pulcherrima

Caesalpinia pulcherrima is an exotic species belongs to the Fabaceae family commonly known as flamboyant-mirim, and widely used for urban forestry. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different substrates on the emergence and early seedlings growth of C. pulcherrima . The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse belonging to the Centro de Ciencias Agrarias, Universidade Federal da Paraiba. The experimental design was completely randomized and treatments had 14 substrates: sand, vegetable soil, vermiculite, wood dust, carbonized rice straw, vegetable soil + sand 1:1, sand + wood dust 1:1, sand + carbonized rice straw 1:1, earth + wood dust 1:1, vegetable soil + carbonized rice straw 1:1, vermiculite + sand 1:1, vermiculite + wood dust 1:1, vermiculite + earth 1:1 and vermiculite + carbonized rice straw 1:1. Evaluation of the effect of the treatments was through the following determinations: percentage of emergency, first count, index of germination speed, length and dry weight of roots and shoots. The vermiculite, vegetable soil + sand 1:1, vermiculite + sand 1:1, vermiculite + saw dust 1:1, are suitable for emergence and early growth of seedlings of Caesalpinia pulcherrima . Substrates saw dust and carbonized rice straw were responsible for the worst performers on emergence and seedling development.
Metagenomic profiling of Arctic microbial mat communities as nutrient scavenging and recycling systems

By way of metagenomics and high‐throughput pyrosequencing, we addressed the hypothesis that cyanobacterial mats in polar aquatic ecosystems maintain a nutrient‐rich microenvironment via decomposition and scavenging processes. Analysis of more than 592,554 genomic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) reads (total of 11.5 million base pairs) showed that the ribosomal and protein‐coding genes of two High Arctic ice‐shelf mat communities were dominated by Proteobacteria, not Cyanobacteria, which implies a broad range of bacterial decomposition and nutrient recycling processes in addition to phototrophy. Principal component analysis of genes for light‐, nitrogen‐, and phosphorus‐related processes provided evidence of partitioning of mat function among taxonomically different constituents of the mat consortia. Viruses were also present (notably Alpha‐, Beta‐, Gammaproteobacteria phages and cyanophages), which likely contribute to cellular lysis and recycling, as well as other Bacteria, Archaea, and microbial eukaryotes. Nitrogen‐related genes were dominated by ammoniumassimilation systems, implying that the microbial mats are sites of intense mineralization, but not N‐oxidation, since nitrification genes were absent. Nutrient scavenging systems were detected, including genes for transport proteins and enzymes for converting larger molecules into more readily assimilated inorganic forms (allantoin degradation, cyanate hydrolysis, exophosphatases, phosphonatases). Metagenomic profiling results underscore the rich diversity of microbial life even in extreme polar habitats, and the capability of mat consortia to retain and recycle nutrients in the benthic microenvironment.
Variations of the macrobenthic community in a seagrass transplanted area of the Lagoon of Venice

Modifications in a benthic community, induced by an experimental transplant of seagrass (Cymodocea nodosa Ucria), were studied in an area located in the southern basin of the Lagoon of Venice. Two surveys, carried out in March and September 1996, indicated that species composition and numerical dominants changed with season, with increasing dissimilarity between the transplanted meadow and the surrounding area. The latter was used as a control area and was characterised by the presence of pleustophytic algae (Ulva rigida, Gracilaria verrucosa, Chaetomorpha linum). Comparison with a natural C. nodosa bed showed that, only two vegetative seasons after transplant, seagrass performance and the structure of the macrobenthic community were quite similar to those recorded in a natural meadow. The experiment demonstrated the importance of C. nodosa transplant in the Lagoon of Venice and the changes induced in the whole benthic community by the introduction of seagrass in an area previously lacking it.
Body frames and frame singularities for three-atom systems

The subject of body frames and their singularities for three-particle systems is important not only for large-amplitude rovibrational coupling in molecular spectroscopy, but also for reactive scattering calculations. This paper presents a geometrical analysis of the meaning of body frame conventions and their singularities in three-particle systems. Special attention is devoted to the principal axis frame, a certain version of the Eckart frame, and the topological inevitability of frame singularities. The emphasis is on a geometrical picture, which is intended as a preliminary study for the more difficult case of four-particle systems, where one must work in higher-dimensional spaces. The analysis makes extensive use of kinematic rotations. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society}
Theory of International Politics

Therefore, the seeker after the truth is not one who studies the writings of the ancients and, following his natural disposition, puts his trust in them, but rather the one who suspects his faith in them and questions what he gathers from them, the one who submits to argument and demonstration, and not to the sayings of a human being whose nature is fraught with all kinds of imperfection and de‹ciency. Thus the duty of the man who investigates the writings of scientists, if learning the truth is his goal, is to make himself the enemy of all that he reads, and, applying his mind to the core and margins of its content, attack it from every side. He should also suspect himself as he performs his critical examination of it, so that he may avoid falling into either prejudice or leniency. (Ibn al-Haytham)1
Meta‐analysis of tropical surface temperatures during the Last Glacial Maximum

The magnitude of tropical cooling during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) has been the subject of uncertainty for over 25 years. We use principles of meta‐analysis as an objective approach to reconcile estimates from different proxies. This approach treats each observation as a random estimate of the true mean and weights estimates by their reported precision. We assigned global uncertainties to proxies and derived a new regional standard deviation for temperatures calculated from the Sr/Ca ratio in tropical corals (σ = 1.4°C). Using a Bayesian spatial interpolation scheme, we estimate a mean cooling of LGM tropical sea surface temperatures of −2.7 ±0.5°C (±σ) and surface air temperatures of −5.4 ±0.3°C (±σ).
The proliferative response of equine chondrocytes to bovine lymph node proteins in vitro

Lameness poses a substantial challenge to the horse industry, costing millions of dollars per year in treatments, labor, and loss of use of performance horses. Osteoarthritis is a leading cause of chronic lameness. Treatments that stimulate cartilage development may promote cartilage healing. Many current treatment options for osteoarthritis have limited effectiveness and are expensive. Bovine supramammary lymph nodes are widely available at no cost and contain bioactive growth factors that could promote cartilage healing. The purpose of this study was to determine the proliferative effect of bovine lymph node extract on equine chondrocytes in vitro. Equine chondrocytes were harvested from the scapular cartilage of adult horses. Lymph node extract (LNE) was prepared by mixing freeze-dried lymph node powder with PBS followed by heat inactivation. Chondrocytes were cultured in vitro, first in DMEM with 10% bovine growth serum (BGS) and antibiotics, then with treatment media containing either BGS or LNE on equal and unequal protein bases. Additionally, LNE fractions from ammonium sulfate precipitation were examined as BGS replacements. The response of the cells to IGF-I and TGF- was also examined. DNA accumulation was measured using the CyQUANT DNA assay as a means to quantify cell stimulation, i.e. growth. When BGS and LNE were compared on equal and unequal protein basis over a range of protein concentrations, there were no statistically significant differences
