Efficacy of the Integrated Harrington Seed Destructor on Weeds of Soybean and Rice Production Systems in the Southern United States
Authors: Schwartz‐Lazaro Lauren M. , Norsworthy Jason K. , Walsh Michael J. , Bagavathiannan Muthukumar V.
Published: August 2017

Herbicide‐resistant weeds affect every major cropping system today. Worldwide, there are 47 and 51 confirmed cases of herbicide‐resistant weed populations in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] and rice (Oryza sativa L.) production systems, respectively. Alternatives to herbicides are necessary to help combat herbicide‐resistant weeds. The integrated Harrington Seed Destructor (iHSD) has been developed to destroy weed seeds during crop harvest but has yet to be tested on weeds in soybean or rice. Thus, the objective of this research was to determine the effectiveness of the iHSD in soybean and rice and to evaluate any limitations. Three experiments were conducted using a stationary iHSD mill. First, the efficacy of the iHSD was evaluated on weed seeds incorporated into soybean residue or rice chaff. Second, varying soybean chaff feeding rates were tested to determine the amount that could be processed without interfering with weed seed destruction. Third, varying soybean chaff moisture levels were tested to determine any limitations that high moisture content may have on the iHSD. The iHSD demonstrated high weed seed destruction efficacy (<1% survival) for 11 of the 12 weed species of soybean. Common cocklebur (Xanthium strumarium L.) seed had 3% survival. In rice, <1% survival was observed in all weed species. The soybean feeding rate and moisture experiments yielded <1% survival across all treatments. These results show that the use of the iHSD can be highly effective in soybean and rice production for reducing inputs to the soil seedbank. These studies highlight the promising seed destruction potential of the iHSD but also demonstrate opportunities for further research evaluating the iHSD as a combine‐fitted system operating under commercial scale production fields.

Authors: Dalmeri Dalmeri
Published: July 2017

This paper is the result of research applying reflective philosophical approach that try to answer the the question about the integration of the values of science and the values of the Islamic religion to shape the character of college students and the contextualization of religious values in the development science and technology in the multicultural era such as Indonesia. The findings of this research is, that Islam as a religion has always advocated Muslims to always holds integration, because, religion and science are not contradictive. and controversial, but complementary. Such a perspective, factually was able to build positive character among students in Jakarta, because for them religion is seen as a driving force for the development of science and discovery in science and technology should be aligned with the values of Islam, so it is not pulled out from the roots of religious values sublime.

Tulisan hasil riset dengan pendekatan penelitian reflektif filosofis terhadap integrasi nilai-nilai sains dan nilai-nilai agama Islam ini, mencoba menjawab persoalan integrasi nilai-nilai sains dan nilai-nilai agama Islam untuk membentuk karakter mahasiswa perguruan tinggi dan kontekstulisasi nilai-nilai agama dalam perkembangan sains dan teknologi di era multikultural seperti Indonesia. Adapun temuan peneletian ini adalah, bahwa Islam sebagai sebuah agama selalu menganjurkan umatnya untuk selalu berpandangan integratif. Sebab, antara agama dan sains tidak bersifat kontradiktif dan berlawanan, melainkan saling melengkapi. Cara pandang seperti ini, ternyata mampu membentuk karakter positif di kalangan mahasiswa perguruan tinggi di Jakarta, sebab bagi mereka agama dipandang sebagai pendorong bagi perkembangan ilmu penge­tahuan dan penemuan sains dan teknologi harus diselaraskan dengan nilai-nilai Islam, sehingga tidak tercerabut dari akar nilai-nilai agama yang luhur.

Ozonation for the removal of bisphenol A
Authors: Mutseyekwa Michael Emmanuel , Doğan Şifa , Pirgalıoğlu Saltuk
Published: August 2017

The mechanism of byproduct formation and oxidation pathway of bisphenol A (BPA) during ozonation process have been compared under acidic, neutral and alkaline conditions at an applied ozone dose of 5.3 mg·L−1 min−1. Alkaline conditions promoted the fastest removal and the pseudo first-order reaction rate constant was calculated as 0.15 min−1. Complete removal under alkaline conditions (after 30 minutes of reaction time) was achieved with 1.59 mg ozone per mg BPA and 52% mineralization was achieved at 6.04 mg ozone application per mg total organic carbon (after 90 minutes of reaction time). Hydroxyl radical dominated degradation pathway (pH 10) resulted with opening of ring-structured products into Heptanoic acid, methyl ester. Sixty per cent BPA removal occurred under acidic conditions where the ozone was dominant and formation of Cyclohexene-1-carboxylic acid, ethyl ester, Benzaldehyde, 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethyl- and 2-Phenylbenzoquinone were evidenced. Despite the fact that complete removal was achieved under neutral conditions, mineralization was not remarkable and both hydroxyl radical and ozone-based degradation pattern was evidenced after the treatment.

Published: August 2017

In this study, the effects of the combination of acid hydrolysis and Donnan dialysis on the high-quality struvite production from digested sewage sludge were examined. The Box–Behnken design was applied in the hydrolysis using oxalic acid for the optimization of the conditions that affect the nutrients and metal release from digested sludge. An optimal condition was obtained at oxalic acid 0.5 M, acid/sludge ratio (mL/g) 10/1, and reaction time 60 min. The separation of the metals from hydrolyzed sludge liquid was carried out with the Donnan dialysis using a Nafion 117 cation exchange membrane. At the end of the 4 hours of operating time, the recovery values for Zn, K, Na, Mg, Fe, and Al were obtained as 67.9%, 62.1%, 57.6%, 39.4%, 5.3%, and 2.5%, respectively. The produced struvite meets the legal limits for fertilizer use in terms of Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, Hg, and Cr content specified by Turkish regulations. A high Ca/Mg molar ratio and the presence of K, Na, and Al affected the efficiency of struvite crystallization. The use of oxalic acid resulted in low Ca release, and the metal ions that affect struvite purity were eliminated using Donnan dialysis.

Cultivation of New Emerging Agro-Nutritional Crop of Quinoa at Madinat al-Hikmah Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan
Authors: Rizvi Muhammad Afzal , Ali Syed Abid , Munir Iqra , Yasmeen Kousar , Abid Rubina , Ahmed Shakeel
Published: August 2017

Aim:

Quinoa is a popular source of protein, minerals and alternative to traditional grains. The objective of this study is to introduce the Quinoa in the semi-arid zone of Sindh province of Pakistan.

Method:

A variety of NARC-9 from the agricultural Punjab province was cultivated and subjected to analyze the growth, morphological characters of the varieties obtained, saponin, protein and the elemental composition viz. Cd, Cu, Fe, K, Na, Pb, and Zn.

Result:

The result demonstrated the optimum growth and no disease were found in the experimental area. At least three major varieties of quinoa were obtained. Seed morphological data of these three quinoa cultivars were collected. The average saponin levels were quite reasonable. Overall proteins band pattern revealed very high polymorphism in quinoa cultivars and the results were also in good agreement with earlier studies.

Conclusion:

All quinoa cultivars of Madinat al-Hikmah showed high concentrations of albumin than globulin concentrations (i.e. 48-52% and 24-27%, respectively) as compared to control seeds from market that had similar concentrations of the two fractions i.e. 35.58% and 37.68%, respectively. Likewise, low concentrations of prolamin 14-16% and glutelin 11-12% compared to control seeds 13% rank our crop much better quality than the imported one in the market. The trend of elemental accumulation was followed as K >Na >Fe >Zn >Cu >Pb >Cd, while for comparison it was Na >K >Zn >Fe >Cu >Pb >Cd >Pb for wheat grown under similar conditions. Traditional grains together make a major contribution to the total nutritional element intake of the average Pakistani citizen through diet, not only because of large amounts consumed, but also in part by suitable levels of their proteins and elemental up take for good health. Thus the successful cultivation of quinoa in the semi-arid zone of Sindh will certainly prove beneficial.
Isoflurane but not Fentanyl Causes Apoptosis in Immature Primary Neuronal Cells
Authors: Berns Monika , Wolter Anna Christine , Bührer Christoph , Endesfelder Stefanie , Kerner Thoralf
Published: August 2017

Background:

Anaesthetics are widely used in new-borns and preterm infants, although it is known that they may adversely affect the developing brain.

Objective:

We assessed the impact of the volatile anaesthetic, isoflurane, and the intravenous analgesic, fentanyl, on immature and mature embryonic neuronal cells.

Methods:

Primary neuronal cultures from embryonic rats (E18) cultured for 5 (immature) or 15 days (mature) in vitro (DIV), respectively, were exposed to isoflurane (1.5 Vol.%) or fentanyl (0.8 - 200 ng/ml) for 24 hours. Experiments were repeated in the presence of the γ-amino butyric acid-A (GABAA) receptor antagonists, bicuculline or picrotoxin (0.1 mmol/l), or the pancaspase inhibitor zVAD-fmk (20 nmol/l). Cell viability was assessed by methyltetrazolium (MTT) metabolism or lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release.

Results:

Isoflurane reduced cell viability significantly in primary neuronal cells cultured for 5 DIV (Δ MTT -28 ±13%, Δ LDH +143 ±15%). Incubation with bicuculline, picrotoxin or zVAD-fmk protected the cells mostly from isoflurane toxicity. After 15 DIV, cell viability was not reduced by isoflurane. Viability of primary neurons cultured for 5 DIV did not change with fentanyl over the wide range of concentrations tested.

Conclusion:

Immature primary neurons may undergo apoptosis following exposure to isoflurane but are unaffected by fentanyl. Mature primary neurons were not affected by isoflurane exposure.
Patient Reported Pain and Disability Following a Distal Radius Fracture: A Prospective Study
Authors: Lalone Emily , MacDermid Joy , Grewal Ruby , King Graham
Published: August 2017

Background:

Fractures of the distal radius are common. Few studies investigating the extended long term outcomes of participants following a distal radius fracture (especially beyond 2 years) and they have relied on subjective measures or single objective tests to measure participant’s final outcome.

Objectives:

The objective of this study was to describe the pain and disability in long-term follow-up of participants after a distal radius fracture. Participants who had previously participated in a prospective study, where baseline and standardized one-year follow-up were performed, were contacted to volunteer to participate in this follow-up (FU) study. Sixty-five participants (17 males, 48 females) with an average age of 57 (SD 13) years at the time of injury and 67 (SD 13 years) at follow-up were evaluated at an average of 11(SD 6) years (range 2-20 years).

Results:

The majority of patients (85%) participants reported no change or had less pain and disability (PRWE) (<5 point difference) at their long-term follow-up compared to their one year PRWE scores. One year PRWE scores were found to be predictive (19.1%) of the variability in long term PRWE score (p=0.02). Age, gender, and mechanism of fall were not significant predictors of worsened outcome.

Conclusion:

The majority of people that are experiencing no or low patient reported pain and disability one year following a DRF can expect to retain their positive outcome 10-20 years later. This study did not identify how to predict worsened outcome.

Authors: Khan Wasim , Williams Rhodri , Hopwood Sam , Agarwal Sanjeev
Published: August 2017

Concomitant ipsilateral intracapsular and extracapsular fractures of the femoral neck are rare injuries with only 14 cases described in the literature as single case reports. We present three cases that were successfully and uniquely treated by uncemented hip arthroplasties. Two patients underwent complex primary uncemented total hip replacements, and one patient underwent an uncemented bipolar fluted stem hemiarthroplasty. The level of bearing constraint varied between implants. After describing our cases we review the literature and make recommendations on the management of these injuries. We believe that these are significant injuries and best functional results can be achieved with an early diagnosis and patient-specific approach that can include a total hip replacement in appropriate cases.

A FUNÇÃO COMPLEMENTAR DA PREVIDÊNCIA PRIVADA FRENTE AO REGIME GERAL DA PREVIDÊNCIA SOCIAL
Authors: Backes Conte Ana Paula , Brod Fernanda Pinheiro
Published: August 2017

Não restam dúvidas sobre a importância da seguridade social para o Brasil, uma vez que conforme a própria Constituição de 1988 dispõe, ela constitui um significativo instrumento de proteção social à disposição dos cidadãos, compreendendo um conjunto integrado de ações que partem de iniciativas dos poderes públicos e da sociedade, com a finalidade de assegurar os direitos relativos à previdência social, à saúde e à assistência social. Assim, verifica-se que a seguridade social é muito abrangente, pois se destina a auxiliar a todos que dela necessitem, desde que haja expressa previsão legal. Porém, especificadamente sobre a previdência social, sabe-se que ela nem sempre é suficiente para manter um determinado padrão de vida e arcar com todas as despesas que as pessoas possuem. Nesse sentido, este artigo tem por objetivo analisar de forma geral a previdência complementar privada. Privilégio para poucos, a previdência complementar privada tem o principal intuito de complementar os ganhos auferidos com a previdência pública. Portanto, pretende-se fazer um breve levantamento de suas principais características, bem como demonstrar a sua função frente aos rendimentos obtidos através da previdência pública. Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa, realizada por meio de método dedutivo e de procedimento técnico bibliográfico, onde as reflexões partem de noções gerais sobre a seguridade social, para posteriormente adentrar na previdência social e, especificadamente, na previdência complementar privada, elencando a evolução histórica; o conceito; os objetivos e suas principais características, para, em seguida, analisar-se a sua função e importância diante da previdência pública, concluindo-se ser ela uma alternativa para o cidadão que possui condições financeiras de complementar seus rendimentos, propiciando segurança para seu futuro e de sua família.

Avoidance of classical patterns by Catalan sequences
Authors: Mansour Toufik , Shattuck Mark
Published: August 2017

A certain subset of the words of length n over the alphabet of non-negative
integers satisfying two restrictions has recently been shown to be
enumerated by the Catalan number Cn-1. Members of this subset, which we
will denote by W(n), have been termed Catalan words or sequences and are
closely associated with the 321-avoiding permutations. Here, we consider the
problem of enumerating the members of W(n) satisfying various restrictions
concerning the containment of certain prescribed subsequences or patterns.
Among our results, we show that the generating function counting the members
Of W(n) that avoid certain patterns is always rational for four general
classes of patterns. Our proofs also provide a general method of computing
the generating function for all the patterns in each of the four classes.
Closed form expressions in the case of three-letter patterns follow from our
general results in several cases. The remaining cases for patterns of length
three, which we consider in the final section, may be done by various
algebraic and combinatorial methods.

Optimality conditions via scalarization for approximate quasi efficiency in multiobjective optimization
Authors: Ghaznavi Mehrdad
Published: August 2017

Approximate problems that scalarize and approximate a given multiobjective
optimization problem (MOP) became an important and interesting area of
research, given that, in general, are simpler and have weaker existence
requirements than the original problem. Recently, necessary conditions for
approximation of several types of efficiency for MOPs have been obtained
through the use of an alternative theorem. In this paper, we use these
results in order to extend them to sufficient conditions for approximate quasi
(weak, proper) efficiency. For this, we use two scalarization techniques of
Tchebycheff type. All the provided results are established without convexity
assumptions.

For a linear relation in a linear space some spectra defined by means of
ascent, essential ascent, descent and essential descent are introduced and
studied. We prove that the algebraic ascent, essential ascent, descent and
essential descent spectrum of a linear relation in a linear space satisfy
the polynomial spectral mapping theorem. As an application of the obtained
results we show that the topological ascent, essential ascent, descent and
essential descent spectrum verify the polynomial spectral mapping theorem.

Europejska Unia Rynków Kapitałowych a zróżnicowanie systemów finansowych państw członkowskich
Authors: Pisany Paweł , Dejneka Wojciech
Published: August 2017

Motywacja: Europejska Unia Rynków Kapitałowych (European Capital Markets Union — CMU) jest ważnym i szeroko zakrojonym projektem mającym na celu poprawę konkurencyjności gospodarki Unii Europejskiej (UE). Najważniejszymi celami planowanych reform są: poprawa dostępu europejskich przedsiębiorstw do długoterminowego finansowania, głównie w przypadku start-upów oraz sektora małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw (MSP), a także zwiększenie różnorodności dostępnych dla firm metod finansowania poprzez rozwój rynków instrumentów właścicielskich (akcji), a także korporacyjnych instrumentów dłużnych.Cel: Głównym celem artykułu jest przedstawienie CMU na tle literatury odwołującej się do mechanizmów zmian strukturalnych w systemach finansowych oraz w kontekście obecnego kształtu europejskiego sektora finansowego. W rezultacie zostanie dokonana ocena CMU oraz zostaną wyszczególnione najważniejsze ograniczenia, z jakimi może spotkać się unijne prawodawstwo, podczas prac nad CMU.Wyniki: Zasięg planowanych reform stanowi zasadnicze wyzwanie ze względów prawnych (różny stopień harmonizacji różnych gałęzi prawa w UE), politycznych (konieczność głębszej integracji UE), a także z powodu zróżnicowania systemów finansowych w państwach UE. Jednocześnie jednak, w świetle badań, m.in. B. Amable (2003) nad komplementarnością instytucjonalną, zakres skutecznych reform systemu finansowego musi być rozległy i obejmować zarówno stronę popytową, jak i podażową. Selektywne sięganie do doświadczeń państw anglosaskich w tym zakresie wydaje się uzasadnione, tym bardziej, że analizy ilościowe wskazują na dużą przestrzeń dla rozwoju rynków finansowych w UE.
INFLUÊNCIA DO ESTRESSE SOCIAL SOBRE O ESTABELECIMENTO DO RIGOR MORTIS EM TILÁPIAS DO NILO (Oreochromis niloticus)
Authors: CORRÊA Sandro Alves
Published: August 2017

O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a influência do estresse social sobre o estabelecimento do rigor mortis em tilápias do Nilo (Oreochromis niloticus) dominantes e submissas. Os animais experimentais (n=21) foram adaptados em aquários individuais durante sete dias. Após esse período, 14 tilápias foram submetidas ao pareamento (sete pares) por um período de seis horas e outras sete foram mantidas em isolamento (controle). Ao término dos pareamentos, os peixes foram identificados segundo sua posição hierárquica e submetidos à  coleta de sangue destinada à quantificação dos ní­veis plasmáticos de cortisol, glicose e proteínas totais. Após a coleta, os animais foram sacrificados e submetidos à análise do índice de rigor mortis (IRM). Os ní­veis plasmáticos de cortisol, glicose e proteí­nas totais não diferiram entre animais dominantes e submissos. Em comparação aos animais controle observou-se um aumento nos ní­veis plasmáticos de cortisol nos animais pareados (dominantes e submissos) (P<0,05) e nos níveis de glicose nos animais submissos (P<0,05). O IRM foi maior nos animais pareados, principalmente, submissos, comparados ao controle, porém, não diferiu entre animais de diferentes posições hierárquicas. Conclui-se que o estresse social reduz o tempo de vida útil do pescado, principalmente, em animais submissos.
Laxative and antimicrobial activities of ethanolic extract of leaf and roots from Amaranthus viridis L. on wistar albino rats
Authors: Dave Omodamiro Olorunshola , Obinna Ajah
Published: August 2017

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the laxative and antimicrobial activities of ethanol extracts of leaf and root of Amaranthus viridis L. The laxative activity of ethanolic leaf extract of A. viridis was studied using six groups of wistar albino rats; Group I which served as the negative control received 0.5ml/kg of normal saline, Group II received 10mg/kg of Dulcolax and the rest of the groups (III-VI) received 400, 200, 100 and 50mg/kg of the extract respectively. The laxative activity of the ethanolic leaf extract was expressed as the mean of total weight of faecal output in each group. A significant (p<0.05) dose dependent increase in the faecal output was observed at the 200mg/kg (3.00 ±1.41gm) and 400mg/kg (3.50 ±2.12gm) doses compared with the negative control. The antimicrobial activity was expressed as the diameter of the zone of inhibition hence the minimum inhibitory concentrations were determined.

Penelitian ini membahas pengembangan sebuah kota bandar udara atau aerotropolis bendasarkan studi literatur (meta analisis) yang kemudian dikaitkan dengan konsep tata ruang Kertajati maupun konteks Kota Cirebon Raya dan permasalahan maupun potensi yang ada. Di dalam pengelolaannya, dikarenakan sumber pembiayaan dari pemerintah pusat, maka perlu dibuat Badan Pelayanan Umum (BLU) untuk penanganan bandara  dan PT. BIJB dibentuk oleh Pemerintah Provinsi Jawa Barat untuk menangani kawasan sekitarnya  agar konsep Aero-City dapat terwujud. Kemitraan Pemerintah dengan Badan Usaha (KPBU) juga dimungkinkan baik di fasilitas ke bandar-udaraan maupun fasilitas penunjang.

[West Java International Airport and The Potential of Kertajati as The Aerocity] West Java Provincial Government has decided to develop West Java International Airport (BIJB) in Kertajati, Majalengka Regency, and plan to integrate its surrounding region as an aerocity. This paper discusses the development of an airport as a city, or aerotropolis, based on literature review (meta analysis) which is then associated with the concept of Kertajati spatial management as well as the context of Greater Cirebon Area and the existing problems as well as the potential. Since the central government acts as a financing source, it is important to establish a public service agency that will support the management of airport within its technical part while the BIJB enterprise, that is formed by West Java Provincial Government will be focused to actualize the concept of aerocity. Therefore the partnership of the Government with Business Entities is also possible both in airport facilities or airport supporting facilities.

Gauge Invariance of Nonlinear Klein-Gordon
Authors: Prayitno T. B.
Published: August 2017

We have discussed the gauge invariance of nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation which describes the interaction of electromagnetic initially proposed by Hermann Weyl. The construction of nonlinear Klein-Gordon itself is formulated by two classical conservation laws, Hamilton-Jacobi of relativistic motion and continuity equations. Generally, this equation takes the similar concept to the derivation of the nonlinear master Schrödinger ignoring two fundamental concepts in ordinary quantum mechanics, Einstein and de Broglie’s postulates. In this paper, the proposing for general form of nonlinear Klein-Gordon including the external potential and its gauge invariance have been established. However, we have to ignore the external potential in order to satisfy gauge invariance. In addition, we also prove the derivation of nonlinear Dirac equation for including half-integer spin concept can not hold by similar derivation.
