Hand-pollination increases seed set in the critically endangered orchid Thelymitra kangaloonica

Thelymitra kangaloonica is a listed Critically Endangered sun-orchid (family Orchidaceae) with a highly restricted distribution. In recent years both individual abundance and capsule set rates have been low in this species. The flowers of Thelymitra kangaloonica possess some traits associated with autogamy (self-fertilisation) and others associated with entomophily (insect-pollination), however the pollination mechanisms have not been explicitly tested. This study compared the capsule set rate of flowers cross-pollinated by hand among individuals, against flowers which received no treatment. We found that capsule set rate in hand cross-pollinated flowers was significantly higher than in flowers receiving no treatment (23.1% versus 4.4%). This suggests that Thelymitra kangaloonica relies primarily on entomogamy to achieve seed set. Hand cross-pollination may assist management of the species by increasing the number of seeds in the soil seed bank and potentially assist in increasing the population size. In addition, it facilitates seed collection for seed banking and development of an ex-situ population for future population augmentation or translocation.

The relationship between exercise intention and behavior of Chinese college students: A moderated mediation model

Inconsistency between intention and behavior is very common in daily life. This study explored the intention-behavior relationship in exercise, focusing on the mediating effect of action planning and the moderating effects of habit strength and gender. For the purpose of providing theoretical reference for the implementation of intervention strategies in the volitional phase, a total of 489 college students (M-age = 20.61, 57.46% female) from Hubei Province, China, were recruited to complete the questionnaire at two time points. The findings showed that exercise intention could positively predict exercise behavior via the mediating effect of action planning, with the mediating effect accounting for 48.52% of the total effect. The predictive effect of action planning × habit strength interaction on exercise behavior was statistically significant. As individuals’ levels of habitual strength increased, so did the relationship between action plans and exercise behavior. The action planning-exercise behavior relationship was stronger in males than in females. In summary, action planning is a very important predictor of the post-intentional phase and has many advantages. For individuals whose exercise has become habitualized, forming a plan is not counterproductive and can still promote more exercise rather than in a mutually compensating manner.
Chapter # 17 SCHOOL TRANSITION STRESS : GENDER AND AGE DIFFERENCES

Introduction: Transitional periods within compulsory education are capable of causing stress, which can compromise children's physical and psychosocial development. Method: A longitudinal study with data collection at three moments – first, fifth and sixth years. Objective: To monitor symptoms of stress during two transition periods (first and sixth year), focusing on changes in age and gender differences. The sample consisted of 25 boys and 27 girls, with a mean age of 6.8 years at the time of the first data collection. They responded to the Child Stress Scale (CSS). Results: They suggest that the year of school transition had a significant effect on stress symptoms. Higher values were found in the first series, and no significant differences were found between Grades 5 and 6. The girls had higher stress symptoms in the first and sixth years, while the boys presented higher stress symptoms only in the first grade. Conclusion: The results pointed to the presence of stress in periods of school transition, with girls and boys reacting differently according to age. More research is needed on gender and school transitions, as well as studies on the effectiveness of interventions aimed at reducing stress in childhood.
Temporal regulation of cerebellar EGL migration through a switch in cellular responsiveness to the meninges

We have studied the temporal and spatial control of cell migration from the external germinal layer (EGL) in the mammalian cerebellum as a model for cortical migration. Our results have demonstrated that embryonic EGL cells do not migrate into internal layers because they respond to a diffusible attractant in the meninges, the nonneural tissues covering the nervous system, and to a repellent in the neuroepithelium. Two developmental changes are important for postnatal EGL migration: the disappearance of the repellent in the inner layers and a switch in cellular responsiveness of EGL cells so that the postnatal EGL cells respond to the repellent, but not the attractant in the meninges. Besides revealing the signaling role of meninges in cortical development, our study suggests that an active mechanism is required to prevent cell migration, and that mechanisms of cell migration should be studied even in the absence of apparent changes in cell positions. We propose a model for the developmental control of neuronal migration in the cerebellar cortex. D 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Engineering design process

This chapter, as with Chapter 4, gives the general principles common across the engineering sector. The application is for a subsystem which is a major part of a larger military infrastructure such as a major platform1 or an improved communication system. Attention is restricted to subsystems with increased autonomy in one or more or their major functions in order to identify the type of problem which can be anticipated for autonomous systems. It is assumed that even if the ethical aspects of the design are encapsulated in law and regulations, they may not all flow down the traditional engineering design processes. Chapters 6, 7, 10 and 13 explain the legal issues in more detail for both military and civilian applications. Those chapters also indicate that the legal frameworks will almost certainly change in the future.
Childhood obesity and ADHD : Logistic Regression Model

In recent years, ADHD (Attention De cit and Hyperactivity Disorder) has been considered as one of the most common psychiatric disorders in school age children. At the same time, the number of overweight children has been increasing. Therefore, it is important to identify groups of children who are at increased risk of overweight. Thus, the aim of this study is to nd relationships between obesity and ADHD in school-age children in a certain urban area. For instance, we intend to evaluate the existence of lifestyle factors related to both disorders (sleep, television, sport). For that purpose we applied logistic regression analysis, both classical (dichotomous and polytomous) and robust. As a result of these analysis, we found the expected relationship between obesity and nutritional habits. Also we have found that children with ADHD are at increased risk for being overweight, when we included this variable into a binary (obese, not obese) logistic model.
Ventilatory and Respiratory Muscle Function at Rest and During Exercise Across the Menstrual Cycle

Williams JS, Parsons, SM. Ventilatory and Respiratory Muscle Function at Rest and During Exercise Across the Menstrual Cycle. JEPonline 2011;14(5):109-117. The purpose of this study was to compare ventilatory responses and inspiratory muscle strength at rest and during incremental exercise during the follicular and luteal phases of the menstrual cycle. Subjects were healthy females (18 to 25 yrs) with a normal menstrual cycle during the 4 months prior to the study. None was using birth control medication. Standard pulmonary function testing was performed followed by a graded exercise test (GXT) to assess ventilatory responses to exercise. All subjects performed a maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) maneuver to assess inspiratory muscle strength before and immediately following the GXT. Spirometric flow rates and capacities were not significantly different (P>0.05) between the follicular and luteal phases. There were no significant differences (P>0.05) in resting, submaximal, or maximal ventilation (VE, VE/VO2, and VE/VCO2) across the menstrual cycle. No significant differences within or between conditions (P>0.05) were found in MIP before and after exercise. These results indicate that the menstrual cycle phase had no influence on the subjects’ ventilatory responses at rest, during submaximal exercise or maximal exercise. Additionally, there were no differences in inspiratory muscle strength at rest or following exercise between the follicular and luteal phases of the menstrual cycle.
The Ambiguous Role of Constraints in Creativity: A Cross-Domain Exploration

The relationship between creativity and constraints is often described in the literature either in rather imprecise, general concepts or in relation to very specific domains. Crossdomain and cross-disciplinary takes on how the handling of constraints influences creative activities are rare. In this paper, we explore these particular issues in two creative domains: art and engineering design. These domains vary so greatly in terms of number and types of constraints in play that we argue for considering them as opposite extremes of a continuum of levels of creative freedom. By comparing two case studies of Danish cutting-edge proponents of creative expertise thus exemplifying each domain, this preliminary exploration mainly focuses on similarities in how such successful professionals work with constraints to frame their creative process and ensure its progression toward the final outcome. Our main observations suggest that despite vast differences between the two domains, significant patterns and strategies reoccur. From a list of nine such similarities identified, four patterns are analyzed across the two domains in more detail as a contribution to encourage further advancement of cross-disciplinary research into the ambiguous role of constraints in creativity.
Risk Factors for Residual Vitreous Cortex at the Fovea after Posterior Vitreous Detachment during Vitrectomy in Ocular Trauma

Purpose To investigate the frequency and patterns of the residual vitreous cortex (RVC) at the fovea after posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) during vitrectomy after ocular trauma and the risk factors associated with its occurrence. Methods A cross-sectional, multicenter, and observational study was conducted in 72 consecutive patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy after ocular trauma. In patients with PVD after vitrectomy, RVC patterns were visualized using triamcinolone acetonide staining and were classified as diffuse or focal. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between RVC and various factors, such as the patient's age, preoperative visual acuity, days after injury, the existence of spontaneous PVD, and the type of injury prior to vitrectomy. Results Of the 72 eyes with trauma, 35 eyes (48.6%) showed RVC on the macula, of which 19 (54.3%) were of the diffuse type and 16 (45.7%) were of the focal type. A multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age (OR = 0.933, P=0.025) and days after injury (OR = 0.862, P=0.013) had a significant impact on RVC. Conclusions RVC at the fovea is very common after spontaneous or surgical PVD during vitrectomy. Younger patients are more likely to show RVC if vitrectomy is performed soon after injury.

Checkpoint Inhibitors for Previously Treated Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer : A Meta-Analysis

Background: While the standard secondor subsequent-lines therapy for patients with advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) without targetable genetic aberrations is chemotherapy (CTX), recently, inhibitors of Programmed Cell Death-1 (PD-1) or its legend (PD-L1) have set a noveloption for such patients. To quantify the overall efficacy of those agents here called Checkpoint Inhibitors (CPIs) –and in patient subgroups, this meta-analysis was performed. Methods: Using a defined selection criterion, a literature search identified eight randomized clinical trials involving 4,915 patients where CPIs have been used in the secondor subsequent-lines settings. Results: The analysis showed that CPIs produced a significant progression-free survival (PFS) benefit compared with CTX (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.87; 95% CI, 0.80-0.95; P = 0.002; I2 = 53%). CPIs use was also associated with a significant 27% reduction in mortality (HR = 0.73; 95% CI, 0.67-0.79; P <0.0001). Subgroup analyses favored CPIs in most subgroups. Compared with CTX, CPIs doubled the objective response rates (odds ratio = 2.27; 95% CI, 1.56,-3.30; P<0.0001). Investigatingheterogeneity in the pooled estimate of PFS revealed that the proportions of patients with nonsquamous histology in the experimental and control arms, and the median duration of follow-up explained 100% of the variance. Conclusion: Current evidence indicates a significant efficacy of CPIs versus CTX in pretreated patients with advanced NSCLC.
Principal Component and Factor Analysis of Macroeconomic Indicators

Although macroeconomic variables have long been studied, many economists and researchers have often neglected the preliminary study of the variables regarding their similarities and differences. This paper adopted the principal component and factor analysis to assess nine macroeconomic variables by finding out the level of redundancy among them from the correlation matrix and grouping indicators with higher similarities into the same factors. Scree plots of principal components suggest grouping indicators into three factors. We then estimated the unrotated and rotated factor loadings withboth PCAand MLE estimation methods. Results from the PCA were gratifying since we obtained extreme loadings after the Varimax rotation. Out of the nine macroeconomic indicators, sixindicator were loaded on factor one, two were loaded on factor two and one was loaded on factor three.
Antimicrobial Efficacy of MTAD and DMSA Against E. faecalis-A Comparative Study

Background: The present study was conducted to determine antimicrobial efficacy of MTAD and DMSA (Di Mercaptosuccinic Acid) against E. faecalis. Materials and methods: The present study was conducted on 90 extracted single rooted teeth. The teeth were divided into 3 groups of 30 each. Group I teeth were irrigated with MTAD, group II with 10% DMSA and group III with normal saline (control group). Samples were collected from the root canals, after 5 minutes and 48 hours of irrigation, with help of absorbent paper points. Occurrence of broth turbidity was indicative of the viable bacteria remaining in the root canal. Results: There were 10 growths in group I, 25 in group II and 30 in growth III with growth 5 minutes after irrigation. The difference was significant (P<0.05). There were 12 growths in group I, 26 in group II and 30 in growth III with growth 48 hrs after irrigation. The difference was significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Antimicrobial efficacy of MTAD was superior as compared to DMSA against E. faecalis.
The Analogy between Waves on the Surface of the Air-core of a Swirl Atomizer and Long , Shallow Water , Gravity Waves

In recent years the phenomenon of waves occurring on the surface of the air-core within swirl atomizers has been reported from the result of experimental work. Many advanced textbooks on water waves provide a mathematical derivation of a wave equation for shallow water gravity waves. This paper demonstrates that this type of mathematical analysis may be adapted, by substituting a swirling centrifugal acceleration for gravity, in order to formulate a wave equation applicable to the waves occurring on the surface of the air-core within swirl atomizers.
Interactive effects of altitude, microclimate and shading system on coffee leaf rust

ABSTRACT Shade effects on coffee diseases are ambiguous because they vary depending on the season and environment. Using Coffee Leaf Rust (CLR) as an example, we demonstrate relationships between the environment and shading systems and their effects on disease intensity. We characterized seasonal variations in microclimate and CLR incidence across different altitudes and shading systems, and integrated effects between the environment, shading systems, microclimate and CLR into a piecewise structural equation model. The diurnal temperature range was higher in unshaded systems, but differences decreased with altitude. Humidity related indicators in shaded systems decreased with altitude. At mid and high altitudes, high CLR incidence occurred in the shading system showing a low diurnal temperature range and a high dew point temperature. Our study demonstrates how microclimatic indicators vary as a function of the season, altitude and the coffee shading system, and how this in turn is related to CLR.
Salinity tolerant phosphorous solubilising bacteria from saline soils of Telangana

Salinity is one of the most serious factors limiting the productivity of agricultural crops, with adverse effects on germination, plant vigour, crop yield and many soils throughout the world are P deficient, keeping both these points in view we isolated sixteen phosphorous solubilizing bacteria (PSB) from saline soils of Telangana, which tolerated 15% NaCl. The isolates were also characterized for morphological, cultural and biochemical characteristics. Of all the 16 strains isolated, 5 were tentatively identified as Bacillus sp. , 8 as Pseudomonas sp. , 2 as Azotobacter sp. and 1 as Rhizobium sp. according to the Bergey’s manual of systemic bacteriology. The isolates were further screened for plant growth promoting (PGP) attributes like siderophore, HCN, IAA production and also for ACC deaminase activity, EPS production. Siderophore was produced by 37.5% isolates, HCN was produced by 75% isolates and IAA was produced by 50% isolates respectively. Only four isolates used ACC as a sole nitrogen source and EPS was produced by only 13 isolates.
Action Hierarchy Extraction and its Application

Modeling action as an important topic in robotics and human-computer communication assumes by default examining a large set of actions as described by natural language. We offer a procedure for how to extract actions from WordNet. It is based on the analysis of the whole set of verbs and includes 5 steps for implementation. The result is not just a set of extracted actions but a hierarchical structure. In the second part of the article, we describe how an action hierarchy can give an additional benefit in a representation of actions, in particular how it can improve an action representation through semantic roles.
LIKE A GLOVE: DO THE DIMENSIONS OF MALE ADANAL SUCKERS AND TRITONYMPHAL FEMALE DOCKING PAPILLAE CORRELATE IN THE PROCTOPHYLLODIDAE (ASTIGMATA: ANALGOIDEA)?

Precopulatory guarding of tritonymphal females by adult males is common in feather mites (Acari: Astigmata). Within the Proctophyllodidae (Astigmata: Analgoidea), some genera possess morphological features in both sexes that have been suggested to enhance male attachment. One such structure in tritonymphal females is the development of a pair of fleshy lobe-like docking papillae, while males possess a pair of ventral adanal suckers that are proposed to fit over top of these projections. To determine whether these structures are strongly correlated in size, we measured the dimensions of the male adanal suckers and tritonymphal female docking papillae in three genera of mites: Neodectes spp. Park and Atyeo, 1971, Proterothrix spp. Gaud, 1968 (Proctophyllodidae: Pterodectinae), and Proctophyllodes spp. Robin, 1877 (Proctophyllodidae: Proctophyllodinae). We looked for correlations in these measurements as an indication of selective cooperation. Our results did not reveal strong positive correlations between the dimensions of these structures in tritonymphal females and adult males. We propose several reasons for why we may not have detected strong evidence of a good fit between anal suckers and tritonymphal papillae that are related to the biology of feather mites, and suggest steps to expand on this research in future.

The Geospace Magnetospheric Dynamics (GMD) mission is designed to provide very closely spaced, multipoint measurements in the thin current sheets of the magnetosphere to determine the relation between small . scale processes and the global dynamics of the magnetosphere. Its trajectory is specifically designed to optimize tile time spent in the current layers and to minimize radiation damage to the spacecraft. Observations are concentrated in the region 8 to 40 R EThe mission consists of three phases. After a launch into geostationary transfer orbit the orbits are circularized to probe the region between geostationary orbit and the magnetopause; next the orbit is elongated keeping perigee at the magnetopause while keeping the line of apsides down the tail. Finally, once apogee reaches 40 R,_ Ihe mclinalion is changed so that the orbit will nlalch the profile of the noonmidnight meridian ofthe magnetosphere. This mission consists o14 solar electrically propelled vehicles, each with a single NSTAR thruster utilizing 100 kg of Xe to tour the nutgnctosphere in tile course of a 4.4 year mission, the same thrusters that have Ix_en successfully tested oa the Deep SpaceI missiou.
