Effect of NAA (Napthaleneacetic acid) and 2, 4, 5-T (2, 4, 5-Trichlorophenoxyacetic acid) on Shelf Life of Apple cv. Red Delicious

Apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) is a typical temperate fruit belonging to family Rosaceae and sub-family Pomoidae. In Jammu and Kashmir, Red Delicious cultivar of apple has been broadly acknowledged by the cultivators since of its engaging colour and financial picks up, contributing to more than 80% of generation and range beneath apple. From dietary point of see its significance in day by day eat less is obvious from an ancient saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”. Lurie (2010) found that application of 3,5,6 TPA and 2,4-D +NAA moved forward fruit quality of apricot at gather or after capacity, in any case, application of 2,4-DP –P caused serious inside browning after capacity. It has been reported that NAA when applied on early International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 9 Number 10 (2020) Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas. com
Locked-in at Home: Female Analysts' Attention at Work during the COVID-19 Pandemic

This paper explores the shock of school closures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic to study the effect of domestic burdens on female analysts' attention at work. Compared to male analysts, female analysts are 9% to 16% less likely to issue timely forecasts after school closures. School closures do not significantly influence the forecast timeliness of female analysts without children but reduce mothers' forecast timeliness by up to 20%. Consistent with the explanation of the gender imbalance in the allocation of domestic work, the gender difference in the effect of the COVID-19 school closures on forecast timeliness is more salient in states with conservative gender attitudes. In addition, female analysts shift the time of day they release analysts' forecasts to time periods without intensive housework and tend to ask shorter and fewer questions at earnings conference calls after the school closures. The findings indicate that professional women are more likely to get distracted and have to reduce labor supply when the demand for childcare increases, compared to their male counterparts, which may eventually lead to the notable gender gap in competitive industries.
Developing a Teaching Model Using aAn Online Collaboration Approach for a Digital Technique Practical Work

This research is aimed to produce a teaching model and its supporting instruments using a collaboration approach for a digital technique practical work attended by higher education students. The model is found to be flexible and relatively low cost. Through this research, feasibility and learning impact of the model will be determined. The model has been tested by some experts of learning multimedia, digital engineering, e-learning and instructional design, and analyzed using a Delphi technique. The model was also tested by 10 instructors and 25 students of the Electrical Engineering Department. The perception of the subjects was then analyzed using a percentage method. The determination of learning impact was done using a different average score. From the results obtained, the developed model: (1) could be implemented with more flexible and low cost to support the practical work in higher education; (2) has a positive impact on the learning, i.e. it can improve significant students’ learning achievement; and (3) shows good perception from the subjects.
Fatty Liver Haemorrhagic Syndrome in Layers

Fatty liver haemorrhagic syndrome (FLHS) is a metabolic disease of mostly caged layers fed on high energy diets and characterized by reduced egg production, increased accumulation of fat in the liver, rupture of liver, internal bleeding and sudden death (Butler, 1976; Crespo and Shivaprasad, 2008; Lee et al., 2010; Jiang et al., 2013; Rozenboim et al., 2016). It is mostly seen in caged birds but in USA, FLHS was also reported in free-range backyard poultry (Trott et al., 2014). In one of the studies in Queensland, 74% of the mortality was reported in caged layers due to FLHS (Shini, 2014). FLHS is a multifactorial disease and is produced by various factors like nutritional, environmental, genetical, hormonal and metabolic factors. Nutritional factor such as excessive consumption of high energy diet has been strongly associated with the occurrence of this condition and huge amount of fat deposits were found in 97% of the International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 9 Number 10 (2020) Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas. com
Gnotobiotic Rearing and Controlled Infection with Gut Symbionts Improve Adult Fitness in Transgenic Diamondback Moth, Plutella xylostella

Mass insect rearing can have a range of applications, for example in biological control of insects. Since the performance of released biological control agents determines efficacy, the competitive fitness of insects post release is a key variable. Here, we tested whether inoculation with a gut symbiont, Enterobacter cloacae, and gnotobiotic rearing of larvae could improve insect growth and male competitive fitness of a transgenic diamondback moth, which has shown variation in fitness when reared in different insectaries. All larvae were readily infected with the focal symbiont. Under gnotobiotic rearing pupal weights were reduced and there was a marginal reduction in larval survival. However, gnotobiotic rearing substantially improved the fitness of transgenic males. In addition, in gnotobiotic conditions, inoculation with the gut symbiont increased pupal weights and male fitness, increasing the proportion of transgenic progeny from 20 to 30% relative to symbiont-free insects. Gnotobiotic conditions may improve the fitness of transgenic males by excluding microbial contaminants, while symbiont inoculation could further improve fitness by providing additional protection against infections, or by normalizing insect physiology. The simple innovation of incorporating antibiotic into diet, and inoculating insects with symbiotic bacteria that are resistant to that antibiotic, could provide a readily transferable tool for other insect rearing systems.
A Positive Research on Spatial Agglomeration of China\'s Cultural Industries

On the background of cultural industries development, the study on spatial agglomeration of China's cultural industries has theoretical and practical significance. In this paper, the spatial agglomeration degree of eleven cultural industries of 31 provinces in China is estimated and analyzed from the region and industry by the index of E-G and CR. Using the grey correlation method, the hypothesis that spatial agglomeration of cultural industries may promote the economic growth is tested. And the hypothesis that the per capita GDP, location and abundance of cultural resources are important factors of spatial agglomeration of cultural industries is also tested by the Count Model. Finally, some suggestions are pointed out.

The Emerging of Smart Citizen Concept under Smart City Environment

This study proposed a new concept Smart Citizen under smart city environment that has not been noticed before. Smart city has introduced opportunities for improved citizen wellbeing through digitalization of many activities of our life. The information acquisition, shopping, life style tracking, and social life are all shifting from offline to online, which also creates many burdens in our life. Yet we know little about how the life process is being changed by this wave of new technology innovation. Most smart city research focused either on the technology infrastructure or the policy but neglect the most important element of the smart city is the person who lives in the city. A clear definition and examination of the role of citizens under the smart city environment would help us better cope with the technology. This study proposed a new concept smart citizen with four dimensions, followed by several relevant research questions of each dimension respectively. The four dimensions are (1) slacktivism and knowledge bubble, (2) personal digitalization, (3) virtual social relationship, and (4) digital life process burden. We expect to arouse discussions on how an individual under smart city environment shall respond to these four challenging perspectives.
Compressed Sensing with Approximate Priors via Conditional Resampling

We characterize the measurement complexity of compressed sensing of signals drawn from a known prior distribution, even when the support of the prior is the entire space (rather than, say, sparse vectors). We show for Gaussian measurements and any prior distribution on the signal, that the conditional resampling estimator achieves near-optimal recovery guarantees. Moreover, this result is robust to model mismatch, as long as the distribution estimate (e
Algorithms improve synthetic aperture radar coherent change detection performance

Satellites, unmanned air vehicles, and other devices can gather far more imagery on a daily basis than there are available human eyes and minds to evaluate. Algorithms are needed that are sensitive enough to detect significant changes to bring to human attention. Several algorithms exist that can subtract an older image from a more recent one and highlight the changes. Such change detection techniques estimate the similarity of pixel pairs. We evaluated and compared the detection performance of different change detection algorithms using Gotcha public release synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data.1 Figure 1 shows non-coherent change estimate (NCCD),2, 3 complex correlation coefficient estimate (CCD),4 and maximum likelihood coherence estimate (MLE)4 images of the area used for the SAR change detection studies. The area of interest is comprised of several parking lots occupied by numerous parked vehicles. Analysis of the SAR reference and test images of this area were found to contain a total of 33 vehicles that changed during the time interval between the gathering of the reference and test images. This set of 33 vehicles consists of either arrivals or departures that occurred during this time interval. The vehicle changes are marked by circles in the NCCD image. The race-track feature emphasized in the NCCD image is also of interest to an image analyst. This feature is visually impossible to detect from the original reference and test SAR images, and it is hardly discernible in the NCCD image. However, the race-track feature is clearly detectible in both coherent change detection images. The MLE coherent change detection algorithm is presented in Table 1. Let x1; : : : ; xN denote complex reflectivities of reference image pixels in some local neighborhood, and xN C1; : : : ; x2N denote complex reflectivities of the corresponding pixels in the Figure 1. Images developed from Gotcha public release synthetic aperture radar data, using (a) the non-coherent change estimate (NCCD) algorithm, (b) the complex correlation coefficient estimate (CCD) algorithm, and (c) the maximum likelihood coherence estimate (MLE) algorithm. Blue circles show vehicle changes detected.
Space charge behaviors in cable insulation under a direct current‐superimposed pulsed electric field

National Natural Science Foundation of China, Grant/Award Number: 51907105; Natural Science Foundation of Shandong Province, Grant/Award Number: ZR2019QEE013; National Natural Science Foundation of China, Grant/Award Number: U1966209 Abstract When high‐voltage direct current (HVDC) cables are subjected to a direct current(DC)‐ superimposed pulsed electric stress, the pulsed voltage applied facilitates electrical tree generation and breakdown; however, the mechanism involved remains unclear. To study the deterioration mechanism of cable insulation under a pulsed electric field, an experiment on the dynamic characteristics of space charge under a DC‐superimposed pulsed electric field was conducted. For this experiment, a pulsed time trigger control circuit was developed to accurately measure the change law of the space charge in cross‐linked polyethylene samples at the rising and falling edges of the pulsed electric field. The experimental results showed an unusual change law: the space charge density increases with falling voltage amplitude and decreases with rising voltage amplitude. The sudden change in the electric field breaks the balance of the forces acting on the space charge, leading to injection, extraction and migration. The energy released during these dynamic processes may destroy the microstructure of the insulation material and contributes to the growth of the electrical tree. This study provides an insight on the initiation mechanism of electrical tree in HVDC cables and proposes a strategy to suppress electrical tree initiation.
Disagreement, Habit and the Dynamic Relation Between Volume and Prices

Dynamic asset pricing models typically do not generate trading volume whereas empirically trading volume is strongly related to asset prices; volume is usually high when returns are high and during periods of high return volatility. Stock prices on the other hand are known to be quite volatile and require a high equity premium while the risk-free rate of return is low and quite stable. We attempt to reconcile all these price and volume characteristics in a new model of disagreement where agents have external habit formation preferences that generate time-variation in risk-aversion. The model is flexible enough to be able to generate in a number of ways the dynamic relation between prices and volume whereas it also provides a configuration by which prices are also fitted well. The paper additionally shows that the information structure and the asset structure have important implications for the correlation between stock returns and volume.
Acoustic estimates of leaf height and biomass of Posidonia oceanica meadow in Gulf of Antalya, the eastern Mediterranean

Vegetation cover on the sea floor plays an important role in marine health, and sonar systems can provide detailed observation and evaluation of sea floor vegetation under rapidly changing environmental conditions. Various acoustic techniques are available for this purpose. In this study, a split beam echo sounder operating at a frequency of 206 kHz was employed. Simultaneous dive expeditions were performed for direct acoustic observations. The aim of this study was to use the BioSonics EcoSAV software program to generate acoustic estimates of leaf height and create seasonal distribution maps in Posidonia oceanica meadows distributed between Lara and Manavgat in the Gulf of Antalya (Turkey). Calculation of program parameters by species and acoustic identification of P. oceanica were carried out with the aid of the PAST 3.05 (PAleontological STatistics) statistics program, enabling isolation of P. oceanica and other non-target species from the sea floor. The results revealed three major meadow beds in the study area. The maximum leaf height was observed in July (80–90 cm), followed by April/May (70–80 cm), with the shortest leaf height in January (40–50 cm). The biomass of the leaves varied seasonally between 100 and 1000 g/m and decreased by the seafloor depth in a year. This method proved effective for mapping and monitoring important seasonal habitat parameters such as the distribution of aquatic vegetation.
Patient Satisfaction and Retrospective Evaluation of Benefits of Penile Prosthetic Implantation Surgery: the OEDIPUS Study

Introduction: Penile Prosthetic Implantation (PPI) is the method of choice for patients not responding to or contra indicated for conservative treatment of Erectile Dysfunction (ED). Complete satisfaction has not been expressed in all cases. Aim: Using validated questionnaires, this study sought to assess the satisfaction of patients who underwent PPI and of their partners, along with potential determinants of satisfaction. It also assessed the benefits afforded by PPI on the subjects’ and their partners' sexual satisfaction, general mood, and quality of life. Methods: This was a retrospective, single-center, open label study, including patients who had undergone PPI between 2009 and 2012 at our center. Main outcome measures: Patient/partner satisfaction with PPI was assessed using the EDITS scale. Patient and partner attitude towards PPI were evaluated using the API and AAPPI scales, respectively. Each subject’s satisfaction with PPI size was assessed with answer grades ranging from 1 to 5. Patient and partner personal, sexual, and relationship well-beings were evaluated using an answer scoring system. Results: Study questionnaire responses were received from 96 patients who underwent PPI at our center, and from 56 partners. The mean EDITS scores of patients and partners were 82.78 (± 15.58) and 83.30 (± 15.41), respectively, suggesting high satisfaction. The mean attitude score towards PPI of patients and partners were 18.87 (± 8.42) and 14.45 (± 5.06), on the API and AAPI scales, respectively. EDITS scores significantly correlated with the patients' satisfaction with the implanted penis size, and patients' and partners' attitudes towards PPI, on the API and AAPIP scores, respectively. Conclusions: PPI exerts an excellent impact on patient and partner satisfaction, sex-life, and overall quality of life.
Plant Growth Promoting and Antagonistic Activity of Rhizospheric Strains Isolated from Wilt Affected Rhizosphere of Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) Crop against Wilt Pathogen fusarium oxysporum f.sp.lentis

ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 9 Number 10 (2020) Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas. com Fusarium wilt is a soil-borne disease, which negatively affects the lentil crop widespread in India and affecting the lentil crop productivity. So the present study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of bioagents against wilt pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.lentis of lentil crop through antagonistic activity. Rhizospheric strains were isolated from wilt affected lentil plant in different regions of Eastern UP like Faizabad, Mau, Varanasi, Ghazipur. A total of 20 bacterial strains were isolated and tested for antagonistic activity by co-culture method against pathogen (Fusarium oxysporum sp.lentis), out of which 8 strains (B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7, B8) showed antagonistic activity against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.lentis. Further study identified that all the 8 strains also showed PGPR activity such as phosphate solubilization, Zn solubilisation, siderophore production, HCN production and IAA production.

Potential Dividends and Actual Cash Flows. Theoretical and Empirical Reasons for Using 'Actual' and Dismissing 'Potential'. Or: How Not to Pull Pot

Practitioners and academics in valuation include changes in liquid assets (potential dividends) in the cash flows. This widespread and wrong practice is inconsistent with basic finance theory. We present economic, theoretical, and empirical arguments to support the thesis. Economic arguments underline that only flows of cash should be considered for valuation; theoretical arguments show how potential dividends lead to contradiction and to arbitrage losses. Empirical arguments, from recent studies, suggest that investors discount potential dividends with high discount rates, which means that changes in liquid assets are not value drivers. Hence, when valuing cash flows, we should consider only actual payments.
Coordination of Supply Chain with One Supplier and Two Competing Risk-Averse Retailers under an Option Contract

This paper studies an option contract for coordinating a supply chain comprising one risk-neutral supplier and two risk-averse retailers engaged in promotion competition in the selling season. For a given option contract, in decentralized case, each risk-averse retailer decides the optimal order quantity and the promotion policy by maximizing the conditional value-at-risk of profit. Based on the retailers’ decision, the supplier derives the optimal production policy by maximizing expected profit. In centralized case, the optimal decision of the supply chain system is obtained. Based on the decentralized and centralized decision, we find the coordination conditions of the supply chain system, which can optimize the supply chain system profit and make the profits of the supply chain members achieve Pareto optimum. As for the subchain, we also find the coordination conditions, which generalize the results of the supply chain with one supplier and one retailer. Our analysis and numerical experiments show that there exists a unique Nash equilibrium between two retailers, and the optimal order quantity of each retailer increases (decreases) with its own (competitor’s) promotion level.
