Survival of Kerria lacca (Kerr) on pigeon pea

Number of live lac insects ( Kerria lacca ) on the host plant till the harvest of lac crop, decides the lac yield. Survival of K. lacca is therefore one of the most important factors for higher lac productivity. The present study on the survival of K. lacca on pigeon pea was carried with eight treatments which was replicated thrice. Apart from the basal dose of DAP and MoP, biofertilizers and humic acid were also applied as per the treatments for growing pigeon pea (TJT-501). Soil, foilar and soil + foliar applications were the three types of treatments applications. The mean number of live lac insects (MNL) was maximum 69.81 to 82.29 per 2.5 cm 2 at 30 days after Brood lac inoculation (BLI). It declined in linear trend till the harvest of lac crop. At 195 days after BLI the MNL varied BLI from 34.50 to 40.85 per 2.5cm 2 . It was highest in the C. cajan with soil applications of VAM, MoP and FYM.
MONETARY POLICY SHOCK ON INFLATION, OUTPUT, AND EXCHANGE RATE

This study aims to estimate the impact of monetary policy shocks on inflation, output, and exchange rates during the inflation-targeting period. The data analyzed are quarterly data covering the period 2005Q3 - 2020Q1. The analysis tool used is the Vector Error Correction model with the cointegration relationships between variables. The results show that there are variations in the impact of the monetary policy shock on the response of the variables in the model. Monetary policy shocks can explain the forecast error variance of policy interest rates, inflation, exchange rates, and output, respectively, with the largest to the smallest contribution. The characteristics of shocks are unexpected and unpredictable, resulting in variability and volatility of the variable responses. Therefore, reducing the impact of the monetary policy shock can improve the effectiveness of the monetary policy. Improving the effectiveness of monetary policy can be done with the support of the central bank's credibility.
The Itô Calculus for a Noisy Dynamical System

The deterministic versions of dynamical systems have been studied extensively in literature. The notion of noisy dynamical systems is attributed to random initial conditions and small perturbations felt by dynamical systems. The stochastic differential equation formalism is utilized to describe noisy dynamical systems. The Ito calculus, a pioneering contribution of Kiyoshi Ito, is regarded as a path-breaking discovery in the branch of mathematical science in which the term dt B dB t t   ' ' , where the Brownian motion }. , { 0     t t B B t The
Dual-Narrowband/Wideband Filters Using Modified Coaxial Cavities With Large Frequency Ratios

This article presents two types of dual-narrowband/ wideband filters using modified coaxial cavities with large frequency ratios. The dual-narrowband/ wideband filters mean two dual-band bandpass filters, one of which is a dual-band wideband filter, and the other is a dual-band narrowband filter. The proposed coaxial resonator in the dual-narrowband filter consists of a pair of disk-loaded coaxial stepped impedance resonator (DLCSIR), which provides a large frequency ratio. The frequency ratio of the first two resonant modes of the DLCSIR can be precisely controlled by adjusting the impedance ratios and dimensions of the loading disk. By contrast, the proposed coaxial resonator in the dual-wideband filter is a rectangular coaxial stepped impedance resonator (RCSIR), which has the merits of miniaturized size, large frequency ratio, and convenience for strong coupling. Finally, two second-order dual-narrowband/ wideband filters with large frequency ratios were designed, fabricated, and measured. The exhibited dual-passband performance of the two filters verifies the proposed concept.
M82 X-1 : The Hyper Luminous X-Ray Source(Session 2 : ULXs and Intermediate-Mass BHs)

By using ASCA and Chandra, we discovered a bright X-ray source M82 X-1 in the starburst galaxy M82. The peak luminosity of ∼ 1 x 10 4 1 ergs sec - 1 and the location of off-center position of M82 in the starburst galaxy M82 suggest that M82 X-1 is a new type of black hole, intermediate massive black hole (IMBH). We also found an expanding molecular super bubble (EMSB) surrounding the IMBH. We propose a hypothesis that the IMBH was formed in the starburst activity 10 6 ∼ 10 7 yrs ago. We review the course of the discovery and show recent progress on studies of the X-ray spectrum and the position of M82 X-1.

Concepts of Robustness for Uncertain Multi-Objective Optimization

In this thesis, several concepts of handling uncertainties in the formulation of mathematical optimization problems are presented. Some of these concepts are extensions of classical concepts of robustness for single objective optimization problems, others are newly introduced concepts particularly developed for the multi-objective setting. Properties of these concepts and algorithms for computing the respective solutions are analyzed. Connections between the concepts are investigated and the connection between multi-objective and set-valued optimization is pointed out and used to develop new concepts of robustness. Furthermore, the several concepts are extended to optimization problems using order relations induced by arbitrary cones. Finally, an application problem is presented analyzing the practical value of robust efficient solutions.
Predictive Processing and Inhibitory Control Drive Semantic Enhancements for Non-Dominant Language Word Recognition in Noise

Auditory word recognition in the non-dominant language has been suggested to break down under noisy conditions due, in part, to the difficulty of deriving a benefit from contextually constraining information. However, previous studies examining the effects of sentence constraints on word recognition in noise have conflated multiple psycholinguistic processes under the umbrella term of “predictability”. The present study improves on these by narrowing its focus specifically on prediction processes, and on whether the possibility of using semantic constraint to predict an upcoming target word improves word recognition in noise for different listener populations and noise conditions. We find that heritage, but not second language, Spanish listeners derive a word recognition-in-noise benefit from predictive processing, and that non-dominant language word recognition benefits more from predictive processing under conditions of energetic, rather than informational, masking. The latter suggests that managing interference from competing speech and generating predictions about an upcoming target word draw on the same cognitive resources. An analysis of individual differences shows that better inhibitory control ability is associated with reduced disruption from competing speech in the more dominant language in particular, revealing a critical role for executive function in simultaneously managing interference and generating expectations for upcoming words.

Sparse Image and Signal Processing: The Ridgelet and Curvelet Transforms

INTRODUCTION The ridgelet and curvelet transforms generalize the wavelet transform. First, they incorporate angular alignment information, and then, in addition, the length of the alignment is covered. As with all of these transforms, multiple scales are supported. The motivation for these transforms is to build up an image from edge-related building blocks. Furthermore, as in previous chapters, the efficiency of computing these transforms is an important practical aspect. In this chapter, we consider the ridgelet transform and a number of algorithms for its implementation. Then we proceed to the curvelet transform and algorithms for it. BACKGROUND AND EXAMPLE Wavelets rely on a dictionary of roughly isotropic elements occurring at all scales and locations. They do not describe well highly anisotropic elements and contain only a fixed number of directional elements, independent of scale. Despite the fact that they have had wide impact in image processing, they fail to efficiently represent objects with highly anisotropic elements such as lines or curvilinear structures (e.g., edges). The reason is that wavelets are nongeometrical and do not exploit the regularity of the edge curve. Following this reasoning, new constructions have been proposed such as ridgelets (Candes and Donoho 1999) and curvelets (Candes and Donoho 2001, 2002; Starck et al. 2002). Ridgelets and curvelets are special members of the family of multiscale orientation-selective transforms, which have recently led to a flurry of research activity in the field of computational and applied harmonic analysis.
Association of Red Cell Index and Adverse Hospitalization Outcomes in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients with Acute Exacerbation: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Purpose Previous studies have shown that the red cell index (RCI) can be considered as a simple and useful method to evaluate respiratory function. However, at present its association with adverse hospitalization outcomes in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) is not fully understood. Our study aimed to examine the relationship between adverse hospitalization outcomes and RCI among AECOPD patients. Patients and Methods We performed a retrospective analysis of consecutive patients from January 2015 to October 2021. In this study, RCI was the independent variable, measured at baseline, and adverse hospitalization outcome was the dependent variable. According to the RCI median (RCI=2.221), we divided 377 patients into two roughly equal groups (188 and 189, respectively). Next, the association between RCI and adverse hospitalization outcomes was explored using multivariable logistic regression models. To identify any non-linear relationship, a generalized additive model (GAM) was employed. Results With a total of 377 patients with AECOPD, we divided them into two roughly equal groups to compare the clinical factors and RCI levels. The patients in the higher RCI group showed poorer outcome incidence (18 [9.57%] vs 31 [16.40%]; p = 0.049). After accounting for potential confounders, the results showed that RCI was positively associated with adverse hospitalization outcomes (odds ratio [OR] = 1.15, 95% CI: 1.01–1.32). In addition, a non-linear relationship was detected between RCI and adverse hospitalization outcomes, which had an inflection point of 3.2. There were odds ratios and confidence intervals of 0.8 (0.7–1.0) and 1.3 (1.2–1.4) on the left and right sides of the inflection point, respectively. Conclusion The RCI and adverse hospitalization outcomes exhibited a non-linear relationship in the AECOPD patients. RCI is strongly positively correlated with adverse hospitalization outcomes when it was greater than 3.2.
A combination of modified atmosphere packaging and two chemical disinfectants: Effects on microbial, sensory, and physicochemical properties of raw ready‐to‐eat leek

Abstract In the present study, the effect of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) on microbial (total aerobic count, yeasts and molds, Enterobacteriaceae, psychrotrophic bacteria, and lactic acid bacteria), physicochemical (pH, moisture content, and color), and sensory properties of raw ready‐to‐eat leek was investigated after disinfection using Percidin–Nanosil disinfectants. There were six different treatments, of which four samples were packaged as MAP (T1 to T4) and two samples were packaged as non‐MAP (T5 and T6). The highest and the lowest reduction in the number of microorganisms after disinfection was observed in psychrotrophic bacteria and total aerobic count, respectively. The count of microbial variables in T2 sample (87% N2, 3% CO2, and 10% O2) was lower than in other treatments. No significant difference was observed in the physcochemical properties (moisture and pH) of treated samples except for the color of T6 sample (cling film) compared to other treatments (p < .05). It is noteworthy that the panelists did not recognize differences among T1, T2, and T5 samples. However, T2 treatment was effective in maintaining microbial, physicochemical, and sensory properties of leek compared to the other treatments. Also, T6 sample showed the lowest quality in all parameters. Disinfection combined with MAP was able to maintain the physicochemical, microbial, and sensory properties of raw ready‐to‐eat leek during storage.
The Contributions of Social Stressors and Coping Resources to Psychological Distress Among Those Who Experienced Furlough or Job Loss Due to COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic precipitated a global economic recession resulting in widespread unemployment and worker furloughs. Using national survey data (n = 2,000), this study examines whether and how employment-based discrepancies in financial strains, anticipatory stressors, and personal coping resources contribute to elevated psychological distress among those who experienced involuntary job displacement due to COVID-19. Disaggregating displaced workers into those who were furloughed and those who lost their job due to the pandemic, I find that both groups report more depressive symptoms and anger than the stably employed and respondents whose unemployment is not COVID-related. Greater financial strains and smaller reserves of coping resources contribute in varying degrees to heightened levels of distress found among displaced workers, however, anticipatory stress about economic security is the predominant factor driving disparities in psychological distress. These findings, and the central role of anticipatory stressors in shaping employment-based differences in mental health during the pandemic, are discussed.
Family Socio-Economic Status and Children’s Play Behaviors: The Mediating Role of Home Environment

Family socio-economic status (SES) is a significant predictor of children’s early learning performance, while little is known about the relationship between family SES and children’s play. This study aimed to examine how family SES was related to different aspects of children’s play behaviors and whether the home environment served as a mediator in this relationship. A total of 844 mothers of children aged three to six (Nboys = 431) from different SES backgrounds (Nlow-SES = 123, Nmedium-SES = 322, Nhigh-SES = 399) reported the situation of the home environment and their children’s play behaviors with self-developed questionnaires. Results of regression analyses showed that family SES significantly predicted the level of Imagination, Approaches to Learning, and Emotion Expression in children’s play and that the home environment partially mediated such relationships. The results indicate SES-related differences in children’s play behaviors and offer the possibility of narrowing such discrepancies by establishing a child-friendly home environment.
Site of analysis matters - Ongoing complete response to Nivolumab in a patient with HIV/HPV related metastatic anal cancer and MLH1 mutation

Anal cancer is a rare disease with increasing incidence. In patients with locally recurrent or metastatic disease which cannot be treated with chemoradiotherapy or salvage surgery systemic first-line chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel is standard of care. For patients who progress after first-line therapy and are still eligible for second-line therapy Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) antibodies are potential therapeutic options. However, prediction of response to immunotherapy is still challenging including anal cancer. We report here to our knowledge the first anal cancer case with microsatellite instability (MSI) due to MLH1 mutation and a deep and ongoing response to Nivolumab treatment. Namely, thorough analysis of the primary tumor as well as metastatic sites by next generation sequencing (NGS) revealed that MSI was formally only found in the metastatic sites but not in the primary tumor. Concomitantly, tumor mutational burden (TMB) was higher in the metastatic site than in the primary tumor. Therefore, we conclude that all anal cancer patients should be tested for MSI and whenever possible molecular analysis should be performed rather from metastatic sites than from the primary tumor.
Effects of Dietary 1,8-Cineole Supplementation on Growth Performance, Antioxidant Capacity, Immunity, and Intestine Health of Broilers

Simple Summary 1,8-cineole is a cyclic monoterpene compound, which can be extracted from plants or synthesized artificially. Dietary supplementation with plant essential oil containing 1,8-cineole can improve the performance of broiler chickens. However, limited literature exists on the supplementation of purified 1,8-cineole in diets for broiler chickens under normal conditions without stress challenging. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of purified 1,8-cineole on growth performance, antioxidant capacity, immunity, and intestinal health of broilers and its optimal dose in the diets. The results showed dietary supplementation of 1,8-cineole had positive effects on broilers. Abstract This study was conducted to investigate the effects of 1,8-cineole on antioxidant capacity, immunity, and intestinal health of broilers. A total of 540 1-day-old Arbor Acres (AA) male broilers were randomly divided into five treatments with six replicates per treatment, and 18 broilers per replicate for 42 days. Dietary treatments were a corn–soybean meal basal diet supplemented with 0, and 10, 20, 30, and 40 mg/kg 1,8-cineole, respectively. Dietary supplementation with 20~30 mg/kg of 1,8-cineole increased the ADG from d 22 to 42 and d 1 to 42 (p < 0.05), and decreased the FCR (p < 0.05). Dietary supplementation of 10~40 mg/kg of 1,8-cineole increased total antioxidant capacity (TAOC) in serum (p < 0.05), and decreased malondialdehyde (MDA) level in the liver on day 21 (p < 0.05). The supplementation of 20~30 mg/kg of 1,8-cineole increased the activity of total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) in the serum and liver and TAOC in the serum and the liver (p < 0.05), and decreased the level of MDA in the serum and the liver (p < 0.05) on day 42. Dietary supplementation with 20~30 mg/kg of 1,8-cineole increased serum immunoglobulin A, immunoglobulin G, and immunoglobulin M contents on day 21 (p < 0.05). On day 21, dietary supplementation of 20~30 mg/kg of 1,8-cineole increased the VH and VH/CD (p < 0.05) in the jejunum and ileum. The supplementation of 20~30 mg/kg of 1,8-cineole increased the content of secretory immunoglobulin A in the duodenum and ileum mucosa on d 42 (p < 0.05). In conclusion, dietary supplementation of 1,8-cineole improves the growth performance of broilers by enhancing antioxidant capacity, immunity, and intestinal morphology.
Efficient Statistical Parameter Extraction for Modeling MOSFET Mismatch

In this article, we propose an efficient statistical parameter extraction method to accurately model the random device mismatch of MOSFETs. The key idea is to approximate the performance variations as mathematical functions of device mismatch. Based on these approximated functions and the electrical test data, we solve the unknown statistical parameters by nonlinear optimization. Our numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed method can remarkably improve the modeling accuracy with affordable computational cost, compared against the state-of-the-art techniques.
High Power InP/Ga(In)AsSb DHBTs for Millimeter-Wave PAs: 14.5 dBm Output Power and 10.4 mw/μm2 Power Density at 94 GHz

We report the 94 GHz large-signal load-pull performance of (0.3 × 9) μm<sup>2</sup> InP/Ga(In)AsSb double heterojunction bipolar transistors (DHBTs) in the common-emitter (CE) and common-base (CB) configurations. Both configurations were implemented side-by-side on either 20-nm-thick graded GaAsSb- or GaInAsSb-base layers. A measured record saturated output power <italic>P</italic><sub>OUT,SAT</sub> = 14.5 dBm with a corresponding power density 10.4 mW/μm<sup>2</sup> were achieved in the GaInAsSb-base CB configuration. The performance follows from <italic>i</italic>) the higher power gain in the CB topology and, <italic>ii</italic>) the superior <italic>BV</italic><sub>CEO</sub> and <italic>BV</italic><sub>CBO</sub> breakdown voltages obtained with the quaternary base which allow degradation-free operation at higher voltages. Load-pull contours show a combination of high output power and power gain in the proximity of 50 Ω for a wide range of load impedances. In contrast, CB InP/GaAsSb DHBTs deliver <italic>P</italic><sub>OUT,SAT</sub> = 10.6 dBm and 4.3 mW/μm<sup>2</sup>. For all devices considered here, CB operation improves transistor robustness against high-power device degradation. The present work provides the first report on the power performance of quaternary InP/GaInAsSb DHBTs in CE/CB topologies, with comparison to ternary InP/GaAsSb DHBTs.
