Field trip 3 Metamorphic transect through the Eastern Alps: the tectonometamorphic evolution of the Western Austroalpine and Southalpine basement

The visited area highlights the polyphase tectonic and metamorphic evolution of the western end of the Eastern Alps (Fig. 1). While the Austroalpine units bear substantial information related to the Cretaceous evolution/orogeny, the Tauern window exposes units and rocks of European provenance, metamorphosed and deformed during Tertiary collision. With additional stops in the Southern Alps the excursion provides insight in the pre-Alpine (e.g. Variscan) evolution of this area. During the Neogene the final shaping of this area occurred in the context of lateral extrusion and exhumation.
NATURAL BYPRODUCTS AS NUTRIENT ADDITIVES FOR OPTIMIZATION OF PROTEIN CONTENT IN DUNALIELLA SALINA Toed CULTURES

The present paper aims to formulate a byproduct-supplemented medium suitable for the production of large amounts of protein rich Dunaliella salina biomass. Components of the MH basal growth medium were examined for partial replacement by cheese whey, beet molasses, and yeast fermentation liquor. Maximum growth rate was achieved after 8 days of incubation in the presence of 0.4% fermentation liquor that replaced 3⁄4 of the weight of all medium components other than NaCl. Interestingly, the presence of fermentation liquor or cheese whey resulted in more than 1.5 and1.4-fold increases, respectively, in algal protein production. By application of three sequential multi-factorial experimental designs, medium composition was further optimized with respect to protein content in Dunaliella cultures. Among medium components, fermentation liquor was the most significant factor that affected the response. Compared to the basal condition, the optimized medium formula resulted in approximately a 1.7-fold increase in the protein content of Dunaliella salina cultures.
Effect of the Nutrient Composition of Biodegraded Sweet Orange (Citrus sinensis) Fruit Peel on the Growth Performance of Starter Broiler Chicks

A twenty-eight (28) day feeding trial was conducted to determine the nutrient composition of biodegraded sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) fruit peel and its potential as an energy source in the nutrition of starter broiler chicks. Rumen content was collected from freshly slaughtered cattle and, fresh sweet orange fruit peels (SOP) were collected from orange fruit retailers. The rumen content was mixed with water at ratio 1kg: 1Land sieved to obtain rumen filtrate (RF). The fresh sweet orange peels were divided into four equal parts in weight; T1, T2, T3 and T4, and soaked in the rumen filtrate at ratio 1 kg: 1 L in air-tight bags for 12 h, 24 h, 36 h and 48 h, respectively. The biodegraded sweet orange peels (BSOP) were sun-dried to a moisture level of about 10%, milled and each used to replace 30% of maize in the control diet (CD) to obtain broiler starter test diets T1D, T2D, T3D and T4D, respectively. Chemical analyses were carried out to determine their proximate composition and fibre fractions while, metabolizable energy content was calculated. The results showed that BSOP contained CP, CF, EE, Ash, NFE and metabolizable energy in the range of 6.78%-7.30%, 10.36%-12.30%, 1.88%-2.65%, 7.79%-11.76%, 66.04%-72.46% and 2829.44 kcal/kg-3037.97 kcal/kg, respectively. The BSOP had ADF, NDF, ADL, hemicellulose and cellulose in the range of 19.50%-22.50%, 52.30%-56.70%, 6.80%-8.40%, 32.80%-34.20%and 12.90%-14.40%, respectively. A total of one hundred and eighty day old broiler chicks (Ross 308) were randomly assigned to five dietary treatments replicated three times with equal number and similar weights in a completely randomized design. The experimental diets had significant (p 0.05) and inferior values to the birds on the maize based control diet suggesting that time duration of 12 h, 24 h, 36 h and 48 h given for biodegradation of sweet orange peel could not enhance its nutrients. Biodegradation of sweet orange fruit peel for a time frame of 12 h to 48 h yielded a feed ingredient with a relatively high crude fibre, which lowered the growth rate of starter broiler chicks and cannot be used to formulate starter chicks diet at 30% maize replacement.
Arduino-Compatible Modular Kit Design and Implementation for Programming Education

Article history: Received: 22 July, 2020 Accepted: 11 August, 2020 Online: 17 September, 2020 To cultivate creative talent, ways to learn creative problem-solving skills is needed, and one of them is programming. Arduino is a well-known tool used for programming education and the usefulness has been demonstrated in various case studies. However, there are several problems in existing Arduino-compatible kits as education tools, including the need for understanding hardware and the difficulty of expanding the kits with third-party hardware. In this paper, the design of an Arduino-compatible modular kit, called as FRUTO, is proposed that can be easily connected and conveniently programmed to overcome the problems. The structure and features of the FRUTO kit that implements the proposed design are also shown. The FRUTO kit consists of the FRUTO module that uses a unified connector for easy and intuitive connection and the FRUTO library that abstracts hardware-dependent code for easy programming. The FRUTO kit is easier to use and more scalable than existing kits. Even more, it can be used in various ways depending on the students’ familiarity with hardware and programming. These strengths will make the kit to be an appropriate tool for various microcontroller-related education as well as programming education.
Correlation and path coefficient analysis of polygenic traits of upland cotton genotypes grown in Zimbabwe

Abstract Cotton is a very important crop that consists of traits with different associationship due to genetic and environmental factors. In order to determine the degree of association between seed cotton yield and important traits, a study was done using an RCBD experiment with ten genotypes. Seed cotton yield, GOT, lint yield, boll weight, bolls per plant, seed weight, plant height, fibre length, elongation, fineness and strength data were collected and analysed. Genotypic and phenotypic correlation analysis was done in Meta R. Estimation of direct and indirect effects was done using path analysis in Microsoft Excel. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences for boll weight, seed weight, GOT and plant height. Seed cotton yield was correlated with lint yield (r = 0.71***), fibre elongation (r = 0.54***), bolls per plant (0.27***), seed weight (r = 0.22***), strength (r = 0.21***) and fineness (r = 0.13*) at genotypic level. Ginning outturn was correlated with lint yield (r = 0.70***), elongation (r = 0.60***) and strength (r = 0.50***). Boll weight was correlated with seed weight (r = 0.56***) whilst plant height was highly associated with fibre strength (r = 0.58***). The adjusted R Square (0.98), low standard error (0.12) and low residual effect (R = 0.01) in regression analysis indicated that variability of seed cotton yield was explained by the causal variables. Lint yield had the highest direct effect on seed cotton yield (r = 1.055). Traits that could be used for indirect selection were bolls per plant (r = 0.006), seed weight (0.022) and or plant height (0.012). Gin outturn (0.737) had the highest indirect contribution to seed cotton yield through lint yield, followed by strength (0.012) through plant height, seed weight (0.011) through boll weight, fibre fineness (0.010) through boll weight. It was therefore concluded that selection of high yielding cotton genotypes could emphasize more on lint yield, boll weights, plant height and bolls per plant for better-performing lines. Gin outturn and fibre strength could be used indirectly to improve seed cotton yield through other traits.
ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF POLISH CHILDREN WITH COCHLEAR IMPLANTS AT THE END OF THEIR PRIMARY EDUCATION

Background: Pediatric cochlear implant programs have been running in clinics around the world for more than 30 years. Application of a cochlear implant gives a deaf child the possibility of acquiring communication skills as good as those of their hearing peers. Reports of the school performance of deaf students who use cochlear implants are scarce. Reliable information is constrained by the difficulty of obtaining results from large groups of students with cochlear implants and of standardised tools to assess their academic abilities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the scores on a primary school competency test from children using cochlear implants and to compare them with scores from their typical hearing peers from Poland. Materials and methods: The study group comprised 160 children with prelingual hearing loss. The measures for evaluating school achievements were the results of a standardised test at the end of primary school. Twenty one percent of the CI children did the standard version of the test (without any adjustments to the needs of students with a hearing loss), while the other 79% did an adjusted version of the test. Results: In general, the mean scores achieved by the CI children who did the standard version of the school test were slightly better than the mean results of the typical hearing group sitting the same test. The differences of means in favor of CI children were 3.4 points in overall score (which had a maximum of 40 points), and 0.3, 1.3, 0.7, 0.7, and 0.6 respectively on the subscales of reading, writing, reasoning, using information, and practical application of knowledge. However, on an adjusted version of the test, the mean scores obtained by the CI children were somewhat lower than the mean scores for all the children doing the same test (2 points in overall score, and 1.1, 0.5, 0.4, 0.02, and 0.2 on each respective subscale). Summary: The 21% of CI children who did the standard version of the school test (without any adjustments) had results which were on a par with those of children with normal hearing. The 79% who did the adjusted version of the test had results which were comparable to those of hard-of-hearing children.
The efficiency of vaccination against cattle necrobacteriosis using an experimental vaccine with a new adjuvant complex

The purpose of the studywas to analyze the effectiveness of the adjuvant complex based on saponin, glycerin and chitosan in the experimental series of an inactivated vaccine against cattle necrobacteriosis. 4 groups of animals (30 in each group) were selected for the study, aged 6 to 24 months. The irst (1st) group consisted of calves 6 months old, the second (2nd) group consisted of animals 12 months old and the third group – animals 24 months old. The control 4 (fourth) group (non-vaccinated animals) contained 10 animals of each age group – 6, 12 and 24 months old. The animals were vaccinated using a needle-free injector at a dose of 0.4 cm in two points at a distance of 7–10 cm (0.2 cm each) twice at intervals of 4-6 weeks. Revaccinated after 6 months, with a single dose of 0.4 cm (at two points, 0.2 cm each). It was found that the vaccine with the multicomponent adjuvant had low viscosity and hardening temperature, moderate reactivity, high stability during storage, prolonged immunity in vaccinated animals. The immunity in animalswas detected 21 days after the irst vaccine administration and lasted at least 18 months after the last immunization. The necrobacteriosis incidence in animals of the control non-vaccinated group was 70-80%. During double vaccination, the average level of postvaccinal agglutinating antibodies in serum of experimental groups of animals was 312.08±74.12 – 62.13±69, 07. Humoral response in vaccinated animals provided reliable protection against Fusobacterium necrophorum disease within two years (observation period). Absence of disease symptoms in vaccinated animals during 2 years testi ied to the high preventive ef iciency of the vaccine. The results obtained con irm the validity of the application of multicomponent adjuvant in inactivated sorbed vaccine as a means of speci ic prevention of animal necrobacteriosis.
Diagnosis and therapeutic management of bovine theileriosis

Bovine Theileriosis is a haemoprotozoan disease caused by Theileria spp in cattle lead to huge depreciation in terms of economy of farmer and mainly transmitted by Hyalomma and Rhipicephalus ticks. In the present study a total of ten cases suspected for theileriosis with the clinical signs such as elevated body temperature, enlarged superficial lymphodes, anaemia, tachycardia and presence of ticks over the body were studied. Further they were subjected to haematological examination, thin blood smear examination and further confirmed by PCR assay. The results revealed that, haematological examinations implicated severe anaemia whereas thin blood smear examination showed presence of pleomorphic theilerial organisms in the RBC’s and amplification of expected PCR product of 1098-bp by targeting theileria genus specific primers for the SSU rRNA gene confirming theileriosis in cattle. The affected animals were treated with Inj Buparvaquone @ 3.5 mg/Kg given deep intramuscularly once as anti-haemoprotozoan drug along with other supportive therapy followed for five days. The complete recovery was achieved from bovine theileriosis based on haematological examinations and amelioration of clinical signs in all the animals.
CREATING MULTI-TEMPORAL MAPS OF URBAN ENVIRONMENTS FOR IMPROVED LOCALIZATION OF AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES

Abstract. The development of automated and autonomous vehicles requires highly accurate long-term maps of the environment. Urban areas contain a large number of dynamic objects which change over time. Since a permanent observation of the environment is impossible and there will always be a first time visit of an unknown or changed area, a map of an urban environment needs to model such dynamics. In this work, we use LiDAR point clouds from a large long term measurement campaign to investigate temporal changes. The data set was recorded along a 20 km route in Hannover, Germany with a Mobile Mapping System over a period of one year in bi-weekly measurements. The data set covers a variety of different urban objects and areas, weather conditions and seasons. Based on this data set, we show how scene and seasonal effects influence the measurement likelihood, and that multi-temporal maps lead to the best positioning results.

NUTRITION AND POPULATION DYNAMICS OF THE PRAIRIE VOLE, MICROTUS OCHROGASTER, IN CENTRAL ILLINOIS

SUMMARY (1) Nutrition and demographic characteristics of three populations of prairie voles were compared in adjacent, but distinctly different, habitats in central Illinois. (2) Live trappings from 1972 to 1976 provided data for two cyclic fluctuations in density. Densities reached higher levels in all habitats during the first cycle (prairie-38/ha, bluegrass-128/ha and alfalfa-244/ha) than during the second cycle (10/ha, 60/ha and 102/ha, respectively). (3) Voles had greater reproduction and survival and higher body weights in the alfalfa than in the bluegrass or prairie habitats. Data obtained by snap-trapping indicated that litter sizes and fat reserves were also greater in the alfalfa habitat. (4) Examination of stomach contents showed that dicotyledons comprised a major portion of the vole diet in all habitats even though grasses dominated the vegetation in the bluegrass and prairie habitats. Voles in the latter habitats supplemented their diet with seeds and insects. (5) Analysis of nutrients in three common food items (alfalfa, clover and bluegrass) revealed that legumes not only contained more digestible energy than bluegrass but also higher levels of crude protein, calcium, phosphorus and sodium. Moreover, voles grew more rapidly, bred earlier and produced more young when fed alfalfa than when fed dandelions and bluegrass. (6) When released in enclosures, voles grew faster and reproduced sooner in the alfalfa than in the bluegrass or prairie habitats. (7) We conclude that the quality of available food can exert a strong influence on the density of herbivores. Higher forage quality accounted for greater peak densities of vole populations, but it did not prevent population declines.
Anatomical and biochemical investigations on medicinal tree Murraya

Curry leaf (Curry Patta) tree is an economically important spice / medicinal tree. This investigation details morphoanatomical features of leaf and stem and explains trichome and secretory gland structures that may be associated with medicinal properties of the plant. Transverse sections of leaf and stem clearly reveal position of oil glands (schizolysigenous glands) and other constituent cells. Oil glands are situated close to the epidermis for the release of secretion. The plant body is covered by cuticle, a uniseriate epidermis and is followed by multiple layers of cortex composed of polygonal, starch grains containing parenchymatous cells. Cortex has interspersed oil glands close to the epidermis and few cells of cortex contain calcium oxalate crystals. Inner cortex contains 2-3 layers of sclerenchymatous cells seen as a red band due to safranin staining. In the leaves, oil glands are embedded in the palisade cells near the upper epidermis and the leaf margins exhibit glands opening through a pore covered by wax. Non-glandular trichomes are present on the leaf but with higher density on mid vein. These trichomes have rough surface due to the presence of micropapillae that may function as a deterrent to the insects. Scanning electron microscopy of the trichome cross section reveals central cavity. Fluorescent staining of trichomes for the presence of secondary metabolites was positive using Diphenyl boric acid-β-ethylaminoester stain under UV light. Biochemical assays of M. koenigii leaf extract estimated total polyphenol and total flavonoid contents at 547 mg/g and 401 μmol/g, respectively. Same extract registered a TROLOX Equivalent Antioxidant Capacity of 211 μg/mL.

It is considered to be a newer treatment option for emerging multidrug resistant pathogens. Objectives: To evaluate the in vitro activity of tigecycline against Multidrug resistant gram negative bacteria isolated from various clinical specimens to compare with other antimicrobials. Materials & methods: A total of 150 multidrug resistant isolates of Enterobacteriaceae (113) and Acinetobacter spp (37) were tested for tigecycline susceptibility by the E-test and disc diffusion method. Results: Tigecycline showed good microbiological activity against all the isolates of multidrug resistant gram negative bacteria with 100% susceptibility in E. coli & Enterobacter species, 94% in Klebsiella species and 81.08% in Acinetobacter spp. isolates. Conclusion: Tigecycline was found to be highly effective against multidrug resistant gram negative bacteria. Therefore it is an alternative option for treatment of complicated skin &soft tissue and intra-abdominal infections caused by such multidrug resistant pathogens.
Globalization and Economic Growth: Evidence from European Countries

This study examined the nexus between globalization and economic growth in European countries from 1990 to 2018 with the application of ARDL and Bounds test. Data was collected from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development and World Development Indicator, respectively. The major findings that originated from this study are as follows. The lag value of economic growth has a significant positive relationship with its present value. Globalization index variables such as net FDI inflows and trade openness brought about economic growth in the European countries. This shows that the impact of globalization has been positive on the economies of the European countries in the last four decades. Furthermore, due to the emergence of these pertinent findings, the following recommendations are made for the policy makers in the European countries: globalization is a viable platform through which the European economies could achieve a sustainable economic growth in the short run. Therefore, whenever sustainable economic growth is the goal of the European policy makers, implementation of the policies that stimulate sporadic inflows of FDI should be embarked upon. Similarly, trade openness of these countries should be improved through exports of more value-added goods and services.
Partial Replacement of Cement Material in Ethiopia: A Review

Concrete is a composite material which is predominantly used all over the world. It is obtained by mixing cementing materials, aggregates and water in required quantities. At present, the construction industry and its sectors of the world have high and limitless demands for using concrete material to build various infrastructures. The worldwide production of cement has greatly increased, due to this production environmental pollution increases with emission of CO2 gas and ecological degradation. Different researchers investigated on alternative material that can partially replace cement. So, this relies on great concern about the environment impact to produce the concrete which balances the demand of it. Therefore the aim of this study focuses on reviewing alternate cement replacement material in concrete production in Ethiopia.
