The Psychology of the Competition in High-Tech Industries

We integrate the behavioral theory of the firm and competitive anxiety theory to propose a model of competition shadow that explains how managers to attend to competition shadow of emerging competitors in technology firms. By acknowledging that diverse trait anxiety is elicited by different structural positions within the firm, we suggest that these differences in competitive anxiety influence the allocation of the resource to competitive behavior warning of an unknown and emerging threat. We conclude by discussing which personality might better reflect threats of emerging rivals in high-tech firms which suggesting significant contribution for choosing the managers and performance prediction.
STUDY ON CONTROL OF A DC-SERVOMOTOR WITH SLIDING MODE CONTROLLER

Abstract : The main objective of this paper is to control the speed of separately excited DC Motor using a Sliding mode controller based on VSS approach. This controller is based on variable structure systems which aim at reducing the peak overshoot, steady state error and settling time of a DC Motor. The simulation results show that Sliding mode controller is superior than PI for speed control of DC motor. Since the SMC is robust in presence of disturbances, the desired speed is perfectly tracked.
Teff (Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter) fodder yield and quality as affected by cutting frequency

Teff (Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter) is a well-adapted, fast-growing crop with competitive forage quality as its nutritive value for livestock fodder is similar to other grasses utilized as hay or ensiled feeds. Two field experiments were conducted from May to October 2017 in order to determine the effect of cutting frequency on yield and quality of teff (Eragrostis tef) as fodder crop under Mediterranean climatic conditions. The agronomic performance and nutritive value of teff was analyzed in order to define alternatives to local forages for animal feeding in the Mediterranean region. The experiments conducted at two sites (Western and Central Greece) were laid out in a completely randomized design with three replicates and three cutting frequencies (10, 20, 30 days’ interval between cuttings F10, F20, and F30, respectively). The results of this study demonstrate that the cutting interval has a marked effect on the fodder yield and quality. The highest total dry matter yield (6,322–6,778 kg ha) was found in F10 treatment. In terms of qualitative characteristics, the highest fat levels and lowest ADF levels was found in F30 treatment, the highest protein levels and the lowest NDF levels in F10 treatment, and the highest levels of fibrous substances, ADF and NDF, in F20 treatment. Data suggest that teff could be successfully integrated into Mediterannean grasslands with the prospect for improving their nutritional quality and the possibility for increasing protein yield through the application of frequent cuttings.

Effect of various levels of garlic (Allium sativum L.) powder in feed on growth performance of Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica)

A biological experiment was conducted by using 300 day old Japanese quail chicks randomly grouped into 4 treatments with 3 replicates of 25 chicks each. Garlic powder was incorporated at 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 per cent level in the basal diet of Japanese quail and fed for a period of 6 weeks to assess the growth performance. There was no significant difference in initial body weights upto fourth week between control and garlic powder supplemented groups. Quails fed with garlic powder supplemented diets exhibited significantly (P
Zooplankton Distribution and Community Structure in the Pacific and Atlantic Sectors of the Southern Ocean during Austral Summer 2017–18: A Pilot Study Conducted from Ukrainian Long-Liners

Preliminary results of the pilot study of the zooplankton in the region between the Ross and Scotia Seas from November 2017 to April 2018 are presented. In total, 53 zooplankton samples were collected in the top 100 m water layer using vertical tows of a 0.1 m2 Juday net from four Ukrainian longliners operating during the Antarctic toothfish fishery. Total zooplankton abundance ranged from 3 to 2836 ind m−3 with a global mean of 360 ± 550 (±1 SD) ind m−3. The highest abundances were recorded at the northeastern Ross Sea. At those stations, small copepods (mainly Oithona spp., Oncaea spp., Ctenocalanus spp. and copepod nauplii) numerically dominated the samples. Total biomass ranged from 0.3 to 85 mg DW m−3 with a mean of 10.9 ± 14.5 mg DW m−3. The highest biomasses were recorded at the eastern Ross Sea, where pelagic tunicates Salpa thompsoni, siphonophores and ctenophora Callianira sp. accounted for >90% of total zooplankton biomass. At other stations, zooplankton biomass generally ranged from 5 to 20 mg DW m−3 with no clear pattern in distribution. The community composition was driven by the sampling latitude and/or season rather than longitudinally. This pilot study emphasized the unique opportunity to investigate zooplankton dynamics in the regions traditionally not sampled during the oceanographic surveys. It also created unprecedented opportunities to increase the seasonal and geographical zooplankton sampling coverage using ships of opportunity at a fraction of a dedicated oceanographic survey costs. The potential of such surveys are enormous in both providing invaluable information, contributing to existing long-term databases and enhancing an international collaboration in the Southern Ocean, particularly in light of recent modeling initiatives of the whole Antarctic system undertaken by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources.
GLC_FCS30: global land-cover product with fine classification system at 30 m using time-series Landsat imagery

Abstract. Over past decades, a lot of global land-cover products have been released; however, these still lack a global land-cover map with a fine classification system and spatial resolution simultaneously. In this study, a novel global 30 m land-cover classification with a fine classification system for the year 2015 (GLC_FCS30-2015) was produced by combining time series of Landsat imagery and high-quality training data from the GSPECLib (Global Spatial Temporal Spectra Library) on the Google Earth Engine computing platform. First, the global training data from the GSPECLib were developed by applying a series of rigorous filters to the CCI_LC (Climate Change Initiative Global Land Cover) land-cover and MCD43A4 NBAR products (MODIS Nadir Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function-Adjusted Reflectance). Secondly, a local adaptive random forest model was built for each 5∘×5∘ geographical tile by using the multi-temporal Landsat spectral and texture features and the corresponding training data, and the GLC_FCS30-2015 land-cover product containing 30 land-cover types was generated for each tile. Lastly, the GLC_FCS30-2015 was validated using three different validation systems (containing different land-cover details) using 44 043 validation samples. The validation results indicated that the GLC_FCS30-2015 achieved an overall accuracy of 82.5 % and a kappa coefficient of 0.784 for the level-0 validation system (9 basic land-cover types), an overall accuracy of 71.4 % and kappa coefficient of 0.686 for the UN-LCCS (United Nations Land Cover Classification System) level-1 system (16 LCCS land-cover types), and an overall accuracy of 68.7 % and kappa coefficient of 0.662 for the UN-LCCS level-2 system (24 fine land-cover types). The comparisons against other land-cover products (CCI_LC, MCD12Q1, FROM_GLC, and GlobeLand30) indicated that GLC_FCS30-2015 provides more spatial details than CCI_LC-2015 and MCD12Q1-2015 and a greater diversity of land-cover types than FROM_GLC-2015 and GlobeLand30-2010. They also showed that GLC_FCS30-2015 achieved the best overall accuracy of 82.5 % against FROM_GLC-2015 of 59.1 % and GlobeLand30-2010 of 75.9 %. Therefore, it is concluded that the GLC_FCS30-2015 product is the first global land-cover dataset that provides a fine classification system (containing 16 global LCCS land-cover types as well as 14 detailed and regional land-cover types) with high classification accuracy at 30 m. The GLC_FCS30-2015 global land-cover products produced in this paper are free access at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3986872 (Liu et al., 2020).
The complete sequence of the mitochondrial ND2 gene of Eriocheir japonica

Degenerate primers were designed according to the conserved sequences of NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2(ND2) gene in mitochondrial tRNA~(Met) and tRNA~(Trp) gene respectively,and the complete sequence of the ND2 gene of Eriocheir japonica was determined.The results indicated that the length of ND2 gene of Eriocheir japonica was 1009 bp.The A,T,G,C contents of the gene were 28.54%(288 bp),44.20%(446 bp),8.23%(83 bp),and 19.03%(192 bp) respectively;and the sequence was AT rich and biased.The start and stop codons were ATC and A respectively.The homology analysis of nucleotide sequence showed that the similarities in ND2 gene between Eriocheir japonica and other crustacean were comparatively low,which suggested that ND2 gene could be effective molecular marker for further study on phylogeny of Eriocheir species.
Photoacoustic imaging of knee cartilage mouse using a semiconductor laser

imaging is also applied in recent years [1]. However, each imaging modality has its merits and demerits. Here we propose a new idea to evaluate cartilage using photoacoustic (PA) phenomenon as a new imaging modality. PA imaging is a method to visualize deep tissues with high contrast which were not able to be observed by using optical imaging alone in the past modalities. The PA signal depends on the wavelength of the laser and absorption coefficient Qf the tissues. For examplc, 532 nm wavelength of thc laser which is used in this study, the strong signals are generated from blood vessels [2]. In previous studies using YAG:Nd laser, the temporal resolution was limited by slower repetition time of the laser. Higher repetition rate is available by a semiconductor laser which may lead to shorten the time ofmeasurement. In the present study, we develop a PA microscopy using a semiconductor laser for visualization of thc knee cartilage in mice, and we clarify the PA characteristics of the knee cartilage by comparing
A Temporal Logic-Based Measurement Framework for Process Mining

The assessment of behavioral rules with respect to a given dataset is key in several research areas, including declarative process mining, association rule mining, and specification mining. The assessment is required to check how well a set of discovered rules describes the input data, as well as to determine to what extent data complies with predefined rules. In declarative process mining, in particular, some measures have been taken from association rule mining and adapted to support the assessment of temporal rules on event logs. Among them, support and confidence are used most often, yet they are reportedly unable to provide a sufficiently rich feedback to users and often cause spurious rules to be discovered from logs. In addition, these measures are designed to work on a predefined set of rules, thus lacking generality and extensibility. In this paper, we address this research gap by developing a general measurement framework for temporal rules based on Linear-time Temporal Logic with Past on Finite Traces (LTLpf). The framework is independent from the rule-specification language of choice and allows users to define new measures. We show that our framework can seamlessly adapt well-known measures of the association rule mining field to declarative process mining. Also, we test our software prototype implementing the framework on synthetic and real-world data, and investigate the properties characterizing those measures in the context of process analysis.

Climate Adaptive Planning for Resilient Development” in Agriculture and Rural Environment

India is Country of Agriculture . About Majority of Indian Population is dependent on Agriculture for their Livelihood. Agriculture in India Started from Indus Valley. Climate Resilient Agriculture for Ensuring Food Security comprehensively deals with important aspects of climate resilient agriculture for food security using adaptation and mitigation measures. Climatic changes and inc reasing climatic variability are likely to aggravate the problem of future food security by exerting pressure on agriculture. For the past few decades, the gaseous composition of the earth’s atmosphere has been undergoing significant changes, largely through increased emissions from the energy, industry and agriculture sectors; widespread deforestation as well as fast changes in land use and land management practices. Agriculture and food systems must improve and ensure food security, and to do so they need to adapt to climate change and natural resource pressures, and contribute to mitigating climate change. Climate-resilient agriculture contributes to sustainably increasing agricultural productivity and incomes, adapting and building resilience to climate change and reducing and/or eliminating greenhouse gas emissions where possible. [1] The majority of India’s population lives and works in rural areas and their livelihood and survival depends heavily on agriculture and its allied sector. The Chances of getting affected to natural disaster is very prone to Village areas. Climate change adaptation needs to be mainstreamed with DRR across agriculture sector for reducing vulnerability and improving adaptive capacity of farmers. The Government is playing a vital role in by proving various kinds of facilities to agriculture sectors in India by involving smart Agricultural Practices, by training them with latest agricultural practises, by providing them financial support by Various Kinds of KishanYojana and Creating Awareness by Opening Aagriculture call Centers.

Catalase Activity Response to Sulfur Dioxide in Zea mays L.

Sulfur dioxide(SO2) content in the air is tending higher with the industrial development.Sulfur dioxide pollution causes environment deterioration and acid rain,which bring about severe harmfulness to plant growth and development.Catalase(CAT) plays an important role in keeping the balance of active oxygen metabolism in plant cell.However,the effects of SO2 on CAT activity in crops including maize(Zea mays L.) are rarely reported.The present study was conducted to provide primary result in the area with 5 maize hybrids of Ludan 981,Lainong 14,DH3,Suyu 9,and Yedan 2.In a simple self-made obturator(168 cm×65 cm×63 cm),maize seedling was treated with 60 mg m-3 SO2 for 2 h.The CAT activity of treated leaf was measured at 0,6,12,24,48,and 72 h after treatment,respectively.The CAT isoenzymes and CAT gene were analyzed by PAGE and RT-PCR, respectively.The results showed that the CAT activity of leaf response to SO2 differed significantly(P0.01) among maize cultivars.The CAT activity reduced by 59% and 38% in the sensitive hybrid Ludan 981 and non-sensitive hybrid Yedan 2 respectively as compared with control(no SO2 treatment). The CAT activity rose gradually after SO2 treatment and restored to the normal level at 48 h after treatment.The analyses of isoenzymes and RT-PCR also received the same results,indicating that CAT might play an important role in the interaction of SO2 and maize.
M ultidrug resistance reversal activity of total alkaloid from Fritillaria thunbergii on cisplatin-resistant human lung adenocarcinom a A549/DDP cells

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of total alkaloid from Fritillaria thunbergii(TAF) on reversing multidrug resistance(MDR) of human lung adenocarcinoma A549 /DDP cells.METHODS ① In vitro Cytoxicity and proliferation inhibitory rate of TAF(12.5-200 mg·L-1) was assessed by MTT method.TAF 9 mg·L-1 was used in subsequent reversal experiments.Cyclosporine A(Cys A) 1 mg·L-1 and tetrandrine(Tet) 1 mg·L-1 acted as positive control group.The amount of MDR1 mRNA and P-glycoprotein(P-gp) of A549 /DDP cells was measured by real time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting,respectively. ② In vivo BALB /c nude mice were used to establish an A549 /DDP tumor model.The mice were randomly divided into vehicle,DDP 5 mg·kg-1,TAF 2 mg·kg-1,DDP 5 mg·kg-1 plus TAF 0.5,1 and 2 mg·kg-1 groups.DDP was ip given every two days and TAF was ig given once a day.Tumor volume was measured every four days and tumor mass was detected after 13 d.RESULTS After incubation with TAF for 72 h,IC50 of TAF to A549 and A549 /DDP cells was 141 ± 5 and(298 ± 22) mg·L-1,respectively,and IC10 of TAF to A549 and A549 /DDP cells was 15.3 ± 1.9 and(9.0 ± 1.2) mg·L-1.IC50 of DDP without or with TAF 9 mg·L-1 on A549 /DDP cells was 14.06 ± 3.72 and(0.79 ± 0.14) mg·L-1,respectively,while there was no significant change in IC50 of A549 cells.TAF reversed DDP resistance of A549 /DDP cells with fold-reversal 17.80,which was higher than that of Cys A(10.16) and Tet(14.05). Compared with A549 /DDP cell vehicle group,MDR1 mRNA and P-gp expression in A549 /DDP cells was decreased by TAF(P 0.01). The tumor inhibitory rate of DDP 5 mg·kg-1 in vivo was 49.9%. The combination of DDP 5 mg·kg-1 and TAF 2 mg·kg-1 increased the tumor inhibition rate to 67.4%. CONCLUSION TAF enhances MDR reversal effect of DDP on A549 /DDP cells in vitro and in vivo,and down-regulates MDR1 mRNA and P-gp expression in A549 / DDP cells.
Migrated Intrauterine Device Resulting in Severe Obstructive Uropathy

Intrauterine devices are one of the most common and effective versions of contraceptive. There have been many reports in the past of these devices perforating the uterus and being found in the bladder, peritoneum, and colon to name a few. In this paper we present the case of a woman who presented to the emergency department with severe hydronephrosis and associated pyelonephritis as result of intrauterine device migration into the patient’s fallopian tube causing ureter compression. Interestingly, she had also given birth to two healthy infants since having intrauterine device placed and assumed that it had fallen out years prior. To the best of our knowledge there have been very few such cases reported in the literature.
Biological Diversity of Kingdom Animalia at the Hakri River, Hapcheon-gun, Korea

of animals and analysis of environmental factors at the Hakri River in Korea during 2015 season. The fauna of four surveyed stations was a total of 69 taxa, representing five classes. Birds (Aves) exhibited the greatest species diversity with 20 taxa identified, followed by invertebrates (15 taxa); mammals with 12 taxa, reptiles/amphibians (Sauropsida/Amphibia) with 11 taxa, and fish represented by 11 taxa. Shannon-Weaver indices (H ́) for mammals and birds at upper region were higher than those of low region. Richness indices for animal taxa were also varied among the stations and seasons. Although evenness indices for five animal kingdoms during seasons were different from each other, there were not shown significant differences (p < 0.05). Berger-Parker’s index (BPI) for mammals was varied from 0.121 (invertebrates at Station A) to 0.304 (reptile /amphibian at Station A). The Bray-Curtis’ distances were calculated from differences in abundance of each species according to geographic distances among four stations at the Hakri River. The relationship between a distance matrix and a quantitative environmental variable was shown very strong. The dendrogram showed two distinct groups; Station A and Station B clade and the other stations (Station C and Station D).
