Bu çalışmada; askerî sistemlerin gelişen teknolojiye

bağlı olarak artan ısıl yük problemini çözmek maksadıyla, nanoakışkanların

çarpan akışkan jet tekniği ile kullanılarak, yüksek ısı akılı bir yüzeyden olan

ısı transferinin iyileştirilmesi sayısal olarak incelenmiştir. Farklı Reynolds

sayıları (Re=2000, 4000, 6000, 8000) ve farklı tipte hazırlanan

nanoakışkanların (Cu-H2O, CuO-H2O, TiO2-H2O,

Al2O3-H2O) ısı transferine etkisi bu çalışmada

kullanılan parametrelerdir. Çalışmada düşük Reynolds sayılı k-ε türbülans

modeli kullanılmıştır. Sonuç olarak; Re sayısı arttıkça yerel Nu sayısının

arttığı görülmüştür. Cu-H2O nanoakışkanı için (20 nm parçacık

çapında, % 4 hacimsel oranda) Re sayısı 4000-8000 aralığında artırıldığında Nuort

sayısında %47,2’lik bir artış elde edilebildiği tespit edilmiştir. Cu-H2O

nanoakışkanı kullanılması durumunda, ortalama Nusselt sayısında sırasıyla CuO-H2O,

TiO2-H2O, Al2O3-H2O ve

saf suya göre %2,6, %5,5, %6,1, %9,6 iyileşme olduğu görülmüştür. Sayısal

modelde kullanılan düşük Reynolds sayılı k-ε türbülans modelinin sıcaklık

dağılımını ve akış özelliklerini oldukça iyi bir şekilde temsil edebildiği

görülmüştür.
Privacy and user awareness on Facebook
Authors: Nyoni Phillip , Velempini Mthulisi
Published: May 2018

Users’ privacy on social media platforms continues to be important as users face numerous threats to their personal data. Social media sites such as Facebook store large amounts of users’ personal data which make such sites prime targets for hackers. Research has shown that users have been subjected to privacy attacks in which hacked personal data are sold to online marketers. These incidents have prompted the need to protect users’ privacy against data theft by third parties. We investigated the privacy risks that social media users on Facebook face when online. The privacy awareness of regular users of Facebook was evaluated through the observation of their online activities. Facebook was selected as a case study because it is the largest and most popular social media platform in South Africa. A sample group of Facebook users was selected for this study based on their activeness (or frequency of posting, uploaded or liking) on the site. Findings indicate that users’ personal data can be obtained as they are publicly available on Facebook. The implication of this finding is that users lack adequate awareness on protection tools designed to protect their personal data, and as a result, they risk losing their data and privacy.

Significance:

This study serves as an assessment tool for the privacy and security features of the social media site Facebook. This assessment tool can help users of social media sites to evaluate their own behaviour and usage patterns on Facebook. It can also assist social media site designers in considering the effectiveness of current measures, which are designed to ensure that the privacy and safety of users are protected.

Authors: Maximino Caio
Published: May 2018

Environmental and housing conditions experienced by laboratory animals exert profound effects on their biology, physiology, and behavior. These parameters are important and often overlooked sources of potential variation in experiments, and should be reported in peer-reviewed publications in order to promote scientific reproducibility. To that end, here we provide a summary of the environmental conditionsin zebrafish (Danio rerio) attanks at Laboratório de Neurociências e Comportamento 'Frederico Guilherme Graeff' (LaNeC), located in the Universidade Federal do Sul e Sudeste do Pará, Marabá/PA, Brazil. Included are data on the physico-chemical characteristics of the water, as well health, of zebrafish in separate tanks at LaNeC.

Introduction: Unhealthy behavior such as neglecting to brush and floss, using tobacco and alcohol, and inadequate nutrition can adversely affect dental health. The frequency of dental visits is also of great importance in the early detection of different oral disorders. Our aim was to assess oral health behavior and attitudes among students of the 1st year of  two health and non-health oriented studies of University of Sarajevo.

Methods: We included 119 students of the 1st year of Faculty of Health Studies and 108 students of the 1st year of Faculty of Architecture of the University of Sarajevo. A self-administered questionnaire was used, comprising demographic data, data on oral hygiene habits, dental attendance pattern, a number of extracted teeth as well as problems with the appearance, comfort, and social life due to teeth problems.

Results: Faculty of Architecture students significantly more often visit their dentist (χ2 = 24.174, df = 5, p = 0.00). Faculty of Health Studies students have significantly more extracted teeth (χ2 = 35.54, df = 4, p = 0.001). Dental health habits were significantly better at the students Faculty of Architecture (χ2 = 16.391, df = 2, p = 0.001). No significant difference between the groups about about avoiding encounters due to teeth and dentures problems.

Conclusion: Oral health related attitudes may be better in students of non-health oriented studies, however, these results have to be confirmed by more investigations and larger studies.
Development of inclusive practices in foreign and national schools in the 90-ies of the twentieth century
Authors: Chelnokova T.A. , Klimko N.V. , Paranina N.A.
Published: May 2018

The beginning of the formation of the inclusive practices in foreign countries is connected with 80-90s of the last century and was inspired by an adoption of international acts designed to protect the educational rights of children with disabilities. In Russia, the active development of inclusive practices begins with the adoption of the Federal law “On education of the Russian Federation” No. 273-FZ (29.12. 2012). It was the date when the new model of education of persons with HIA had acquired legal status. However, the introduction of inclusive education in Russian schools is confronting with many difficulties and in order to resolve them we need to carry out a retrospective analysis of processes and events observed in late 90s by foreign scholars, who brought inclusive education into life. The authors also find it necessary to turn to new developments in the Russian educational system in order to estimate it from the point of view of the latest global trends. During last decades there appeared classes with pedagogical support, in which pupils with previous PMPC training can study; school psychology services start to function; the new educational system, designed with a special focus on tolerant relationships, provided favorable conditions for students with certain developmental disorders. In the opinion of the authors of the article, their own past and present experience alongside with the analysis of foreign inclusive practices can play a positive role in overcoming obstacles to the development of inclusive education in Russia
Pedagogy of integration/inclusion in Germany: history and modernity (the middle of XX – beginning of XXI centuries.)
Authors: Furyaeva T.W.
Published: May 2018

The article presents the results of comparative analysis of the process of formation and development of the pedagogy of integration/inclusion on the example of Germany during the last forty years. Four periods in the development of inclusive pedagogy were identified, the dynamics of concepts and categories was shown. The pluralism of the studies of inclusion was proven for the four psycho-pedagogical approaches (educational activity, socio-environmental, interactionists and anthropological, and ethical). The implementation of the principle of inclusive education should be characterized by the shift from the politicization of inclusive discourse to the search for a scientifically sound and responsible decisions in this field
Self-Activation as a Personal Resource in University Inclusive Educational Environment
Authors: Odintsova M. , Radchikova N.P.
Published: May 2018

In the sphere of higher education, which is considered one of the most promising in promoting inclusive ideas, great attention is paid to students’ personal resources, characterizing the person's internal voluntary activity: self-control, self-esteem, self-efficacy, self-management, self-knowledge, self-support, self-regulation, and self-activation. They are these personal resources that mediate the students' subjective assessment of the external situation (the absence of barriers, the availability of different types of support), weaken the negative impact of disability, preserve the psychological balance and motivate them to overcome difficulties. A study conducted on the Russian sample showed that inclusive education is effective for students with disabilities and is a motivating factor for their healthy peers. The data obtained is consistent with the results of studies in other countries and cultures
Licenciamento ambiental: uma análise da sua eficiência no setor da construção civil de João Pessoa
Authors: Silva Janaina Conceição , Meira Alexsandra Rocha
Published: May 2018

The management of construction waste in large cities carried out by the public administration presents some difficulties that have been increased due to the housing policy developed by the federal government. These problems have affected not only the generation, management, but also the final destination of the waste products. The objective of this study was to investigate the conflicts experienced in João Pessoa city through the quantification found in the Civil Construction and Demolition Waste Management Projects (PGRCCD) present in the Environmental Licensing processes requested in Environment Secretariat of João Pessoa (Semam). In João Pessoa, the situation experienced in the years 2014 and 2015 reflects the national scenario. In 2014 the upswing in the sector resulted in the generation of about 712,101.49 m3 of construction and demolition waste (RCDs). It became a problem because there was evidence of correct disposal of this waste occurring in only 8,471.50 m3 of the estimated total. In 2015, following the national slowdown due to the political-financial crisis, the generation of construction waste decreased considerably. As a result of that there was only an amount of 31,788.88 m3 of construction and demolition waste. However, the final waste disposal verification exceeded the waste generation quantification of the year, of 40,246.46 m3. This made us refer back to former problems’ resolutions. Based on the information from this period it can be said that the process of implementing shared management skills requires adjustments, improvements and technological investment in the traceability of waste disposal that includes the design of the architectural project and the project delivery for this would mean improvements for the city and less environmental impacts.

Published: May 2018

In recent years the reservoirs of several northeastern states have collapsed, resulting in water rationing and even the state of emergency decree. Even so, some buildings which have already been consolidated in the urban area do not use any form of rainwater for storage or subsequent reuse. Thus, this study proposes the use of alternative techniques for the storage and reuse of water in a building which has already been consolidated in the urban area of semi-arid regions, based upon the perception that certain functions of the compensatory techniques can be applied to areas with high rainfall indices, as well as opposite zones. In order to do so, we carried out a study on the natural aspects of the city and identified sites that enabled the installation of alternative techniques selected by TecAlt 1.0 software, a program used to assist decision making in storm water management. Regarding suggestions for implantation techniques,The results were positive, even for the semiarid conditions, which is the case of the study place . Researchers may carry out future studies on the topic with the purpose of assessing and budgeting the suggested techniques.

Published: May 2018

The objective of this work was to evaluate the osmotic dehydration (OD), with the substitution of sodium chloride (NaCl) by potassium chloride (KCl), followed by the drying, in dry tomato processing. Italian -tomatoes were collected . After the selection, homogenization and sanitization, samples were taken from the tomato in natura for the physical-chemical analysis. Then, 13 (thirteen) solutions of Sucrose, NaCl and KCl in their different combinations were used in OD. After that, samples of the 13 treatments were collected for physico-chemical determinations and variables of weight loss (PP) and water loss (PA). Subsequently, all treatments were submitted to oven drying with forced air circulation at 60 ° C for 17 hours. After the drying, the treatments that presented final moisture of not more than 25% were selected for analysis of the physicochemical parameters. All the analyzes followed the technical norms established by the Adolfo Lutz Institute. The results of the in natura fruit presented values of 95.68% of humidity; 0.28 ATT expressed as citric acid; 3.84 pH and 4.75 ° Brix. After the DO of the 13 treatments, the tomatoes showed variations of 90.76 to 95.19% of humidity; 0.24 to 0.36 ATT expressed as citric acid; 3.46 to 4.28 pH and 4 to 7.1 of Brix. As for the initial and final OD mass, it has been verified that the percentages of water loss and weight present significant values in T6, T8 and T12 treatments . Partial or total substitution of NaCl by KCl in the amounts of 5 and 10% studied in the osmotic process demonstrates efficiency in the reduction of the drying time to obtain the desired moisture when compared to the treatments in which there is no introduction of KCl. Therefore, the use of KCl as a partial or total substitute for NaCl in the osmotic dehydration of tomato is considered tefficient in drying.Palavras-chave: Perda de água, secagem, redução de sódio, saúde.
Mapeamento dos manguezais do estuário do Rio Paraíba
Authors: Araújo Diandra Soares de , Bezerra Rogério Silva
Published: May 2018

This work’s main objective was to map the mangroves of the Paraiba River estuary, taking into account its distributions and the identified human occupations in its surroundings. In order to do so, geoprocessing techniques and field activities were used. The use of geoprocessing techniques resulted in the production of thematic maps containing the extension of mangrove and human occupations (residences, farming ponds and deposits of “petcoke”) which were present on the analysed landscape. The process of occupation of the mangroves in the Paraiba River estuary occurred according to the rhythm of expansion of the surrounding districts which share territory with the mangrove itself. The occupation of the mangroves was analysed from the perspective of the critical geography, considering its degradation as the result of the intense process of globalization and urbanization of the territory. The research results point to the need for public policies which aim at mangrove conservation and the improvement on the life of the residents of the communities which share its space.

HETEROTOPIAS: superfícies da formação do ator
Authors: Martins Gilberto dos Santos
Published: May 2018

Tendo em vista que cada encenador exige uma determinada técnica para cada proposta estética, os atores envolvidos nesse processo devem acessar campos outros na complementação de suas técnicas. Assim, este artigo tem por objetivo realizar uma breve discussão acerca das espacialidades que compõem a formação do ator. Tomamos como base teórica o conceito de Heterotopia, formulado pelo filósofo francês Michel Foucault (1926-1984), onde o mesmo vai apresentar a temática espacial como o grande eixo temático do século XX. Lançamos mão do conceito e propomos a observância da diversidade espacial que os atores na contemporaneidade dispõem para realizar a sua formação e/ou continuá-la.

Semi-wrapping lateral cartilage to a square edged strut perpendicularly to prevent collapse in external nasal valve dysfunction: pseudodome technique
Authors: YANILMAZ Muhammed , AKDUMAN Davut
Published: May 2018

Objectives: During inhalation through the nose, the weakness of
lateral cartilage may cause the collapse of nasal vestibule and sidewall,
causing the complaint of difficult breathing through the nose. We aimed to
support the lateral cartilage with a square edged strut to resolve this
problem. Methods: We described a technique in 8 cases (5 males, 3
females). In this technique the lateral cartilage is semi wrapped from the underside to a square edged strut, and
arched to outside with an open approach rhinoplasty. As it was only a physical
support and did not create a new canting up through the skin, we named this
maneuver as pseudodome technique. Results:
All patients experienced relief of symptoms and no complications observed. The
reinforcement effect of the strut was effective in preventing collapse of the
nasal alar sidewall as well as did not cause contour irregularities. Conclusions:
Pseudodome technique can be performed
for acquired or congenital nasal sidewall collapse caused by lower lateral
cartilage structural weaknesses successfully.
A Pilot Study of a 4-Week eHealth-Based Protocol of the Attention Training Technique Component of Metacognitive Therapy Among Patients With Anxiety Disorders
Authors: Fergus Thomas A. , Hiraoka Regina
Published: May 2018

The attention training technique (ATT) component of metacognitive therapy seeks to reduce anxiety and strengthen executive attention. ATT has the potential to expand mental health service delivery, with researchers labeling ATT as a possible form of eHealth. However, the only known published study to examine ATT in that delivery capacity was not supportive of its use. The current pilot study examined a new 4-week eHealth-based protocol of ATT among a small mixed sample of patients with anxiety disorders (N = 16). Patients attended a single in-person session to practice ATT and then practiced ATT remotely by accessing a standardized recording of ATT through the Internet for 4 weeks. There was no attrition and over 80% of patients achieved the practice benchmark. Improvements were noted across clinician-rated, patient-rated, and performance-based outcomes. Results support further examination of ATT as a possible eHealth treatment for anxiety disorders. Recommendations for future research are discussed.
An Examination of the Role of Psychological Inflexibility in Hoarding Using Multiple Mediator Models
Authors: Ong Clarissa W. , Krafft Jennifer , Levin Michael E. , Twohig Michael P.
Published: May 2018

Hoarding is associated with functional impairment and impacts quality of life. One process that has been theorized to explain how hoarding develops and leads to impairment is psychological inflexibility, in which behavior is rigidly controlled by a perceived need to regulate internal experiences, at the expense of more effective, valued actions. The present study aimed to test the mediational role of psychological inflexibility in the development of hoarding and its impact on life satisfaction with a sample of 489 college students completing an online survey. Results indicated that multiple measures of psychological inflexibility (overall inflexibility, inattention, and values obstruction) mediated the relationship between distress and hoarding. Other measures of psychological inflexibility (overall inflexibility, cognitive fusion, and lack of values progress) mediated the link between hoarding severity and life satisfaction. These findings suggest that how one responds to distress and hoarding symptoms can influence symptom severity and life satisfaction, and that psychological flexibility may promote more adaptive outcomes. Thus, current interventions for problematic hoarding may be strengthened by targeting psychological inflexibility and related processes.
La participación de la mujer en la lucha de los plebeyos: a propósito del relato de las hermanas Fabia (Liv., VI, 34, 5-11)
Authors: López Cruz Paula
Published: May 2018

Es común afirmar que la mujer, sobre todo en la época de la Roma arcaica, no intervino en movimientos políticos, sociales ni culturales. No obstante, los estudios actuales han puesto de manifiesto la colaboración de la mujer en la construcción de las sociedades. Con base en este reconocimiento, en este artículo se propone interpretar el diálogo entre la patricia Fabia Menor, casada con un plebeyo, y su padre Fabio Ambusto, como una probable participación de ella en el movimiento de los plebeyos que, finalmente en el año 367 a. C., logran ejercer el cargo de cónsul.

Published: May 2018

A obesidade é definida como um distúrbio nutricional e metabólico caracterizado pelo aumento de massa adiposa no organismo, refletindo em um aumento de peso corpóreo. Um dos métodos mais utilizados para indicar riscos relacionados ao excesso de peso corporal é o Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) e quando se trata de crianças e adolescentes, deve-se levar em conta a faixa etária analisada. O trabalho se caracteriza como pesquisa bibliográfica no qual foi realizado um levantamento de material de estudo, tendo como objetivo estudar a prevalência de sobrepeso e obesidade em crianças e adolescentes. Estudos demonstram que a atividade física é um mecanismo eficiente que contribui na redução e manutenção do peso corporal, aliada a outros hábitos positivos à saúde. Assim, conclui-se que devido ao grande índice de obesidade na atualidade, recomenda-se a intervenção através da prática da atividade física como projeto de vida familiar, com a finalidade de estimular e conscientizar sobre a importância e os benefícios que a mesma proporciona.

O propósito desse estudo consistiu em investigações nas mudanças no desempenho da força explosiva (FE), força explosiva elástica (FEE), força explosiva elástica reflexa (FEER) em voleibolistas durante um ciclo anual. A amostra examinada foi composta por 43 voleibolistas do sexo masculino. Os desempenhos das variáveis dependentes foram mensurados através dos testes de salto verticais com meio agachamento partindo de uma posição estática (SJ), teste de salto vertical com contra-movimento, sem a contribuição dos membros superiores (CMJ), e o teste de saltos verticais contínuos com duração de 5 segundos sem a contribuição dos joelhos e membros superiores (CJ5s). As coletas foram realizadas antes e depois dos períodos de preparação e competição, sendo as medidas feitas em tapete de contato Jump Test. Superiores desempenhos dos pos-púberes comparado aos púberes foram observados. Em púberes foram observadas significantes mudanças no ciclo anual nas variáveis do desempenho da FE e FEE apresentando aumentos, no entanto não foram encontradas mudanças significantes na FEER, mesmo que os resultados revelando aumentos de desempenho. Os pos-púberes demonstraram aumentos significantes para os desempenhos da FE, FEE e FEER. Deste modo conclui-se que as mudanças foram lineares para os púberes e não lineares para os pós-púberes.

The establishment of large hybrid populations is the key basis to breeding new cultivars and genetic research, such as molecular mapping. However, it is extremely difficult to generate hybrid progeny using conventional artificial hybridization in Chinese jujube (Chinese date) (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) because of its low fruit set of ≈0.01%. The objective of this study was to create large hybrid populations in Chinese jujube using bona fide male-sterile germplasm as the female parent. Two male-sterile varieties that lacked viable pollen (JMS1 and JMS2) previously discovered by our research group and three male-fertile genotypes (‘Xing16’, ‘Jiao5’, and ‘Wuhefeng’) were used as female and male parents, respectively. Bee-aided controlled hybridization of five combinations was conducted from 2014 to 2016. The results indicated that both JMS1 and JMS2 were stable male-sterile germplasm across the years examined. JMS2 showed more effective compatibility with the male parents tested than JMS1. A total of 7681 fruits were obtained from the five cross combinations, and 3120 of them contained seeds. The mean rate of the fruit with seed varied from 32.62% to 64.21%, and the highest rate (73.38%) was obtained from the cross of JMS2 × ‘Xing16’ in 2016. A total of 831 seedlings were obtained and consisted of 602 from JMS2 × ‘Xing16’, 221 from JMS2 × ‘Jiao5’, two from JMS1 × ‘Xing16’, five from JMS1 × ‘Wuhefeng’, and one from JMS2 × ‘Wuhefeng’. The 118 randomly selected progeny seedlings, including 96 from JMS2 × ‘Xing16’ and 22 from JMS2 × ‘Jiao5’, respectively, were identified to be authentic hybrids using SSR markers. Thus, JMS2 is a promising male-sterile female parent that possesses a good cross-compatibility and is free from the need for emasculation, embryo rescue, and hybrid identification. The largest hybrid population of 602 progeny was obtained in Chinese jujube using controlled hybridization. This study demonstrated the feasibility of a highly efficient crossbreeding approach using male-sterile germplasm as the female parent in Chinese jujube.
What is Rose Rosette Disease?
Authors: Pemberton H. Brent , Ong Kevin , Windham Mark , Olson Jennifer , Byrne David H.
Published: May 2018

Rose rosette disease (RRD) is incited by a negative-sense RNA virus (genus Emaravirus), which is vectored by a wind-transported eriophyid mite (Phyllocoptes fructiphilus). Symptoms include witches broom/rosette-type growth, excessive prickles (thorns), discolored and distorted growth, and, unlike most other rose diseases, usually results in plant death. RRD is endemic to North America and was first described in Manitoba, Wyoming, and California in the 1940s. It has spread east with the aid of a naturalized rose species host and has become epidemic from the Great Plains to the East Coast of North America on garden roses in home and commercial landscapes where losses have been high. The disease was suggested to be incited by a virus from the beginning, but only recently has this been confirmed and the virus identified. The presence of the vector mite on roses has been associated with RRD since the first symptoms were described. However, more recently, the mite was demonstrated to be the vector of the disease and confirmed to transmit the virus itself. As a result of the RRD epidemic in North America and its effects on the national production and consumer markets for roses, a research team comprising five major universities (Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and Delaware), a dozen growers and nurseries (all regions), six rose breeding programs (California, Wisconsin, Texas, and Pennsylvania), the major rose testing programs (Earth-Kind and AGRS), the major rose organization (American Rose Society), and the major trade organization AmericanHort has formed. This research project has been funded by the Specialty Crops Research Initiative through the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) with the short-term objective of improving and disseminating best management practices (BMPs) and the long-term goal of identifying additional sources of resistance and developing the genetic tools to quickly transfer resistance into the elite commercial rose germplasm.
Rose Rosette Disease: Recent Advances on Molecular Diagnostic Tools

Published: May 2018

Rose rosette emaravirus (RRV, genus Emaravirus), the causal agent of rose rosette disease, is the topmost pathogen of concern for the rose industry in the United States. The only strategy available for disease management is early identification and eradication of the infected plants. Highly reliable, specific, and sensitive detection assays are thus required to test and confirm the presence of RRV in suspected plant samples. RRV is only a recently characterized virus and hence limits the diagnostic tools available for its early detection. With a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Specialty Crop Research Initiative (SCRI) project sponsorship, several diagnostic tools including end-point reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and RT-qPCR assays targeting single and multiple genes targets were developed for routine diagnostics. This review introduces an overall view of the different diagnostic tools developed, which are reliable, highly sensitive, and can be easily implemented for detection and identification in laboratories providing diagnostic services and confirmation of RRV-infected samples.
Evaluating Tissue Tests to Improve Nitrogen Management in Furrow‐Irrigated Mid‐South Corn Production

An ear‐leaf N of 30 g kg−1 differentiated between N‐adequate and N‐deficient corn plants at the R1 growth stage.

The optimal corn stalk nitrate concentration ranged from 170 to 1000 mg nitrate N kg−1 at maturity.

Nitrogen availability was excessive when stalk nitrate concentration values were >1000 mg nitrate N kg−1.

The N rate needed for 95% relative grain yield was consistently near the N rate where nitrate accumulated in the stalk.

The corn stalk nitrate test (CSNT) and ear‐leaf N concentration (ELNC) are used to determine the adequacy of corn (Zea mays L.) N management programs and is used most extensively in the Midwest and northeastern United States. Information on the utility of both the CSNT and ELNC for irrigated corn produced in the mid‐South is lacking. Twenty‐four N rate trials were conducted in Arkansas between 2013 and 2016 to evaluate the utility of the ELNC and CSNT in a furrow‐irrigated corn production system. An ELNC of 30 g kg−1 has been determined to differentiate between N‐adequate and N‐deficient corn plants at the R1 growth stage. The optimal CSNT concentration ranged from 170 to 1000 mg nitrate N kg−1 at maturity, indicating that adequate N was available to the corn crop to produce near‐maximum grain yield. The N rate needed to achieve 95% relative grain yield (RGY) was consistently identified near the N rate where nitrate N began to accumulate in the corn stalk. A CSNT values of <170 mg nitrate N kg−1 was found to represent the low category, suggesting that N was limiting corn grain yield, whereas N availability was found to exceed the amount needed to maximize grain yield when CSNT values were >1000 mg nitrate N kg−1. The ELNC and CSNT can be used to adequately determine the N status of corn produced within a furrow‐irrigated mid‐South corn production system.

Nanoparticles are smaller than 100nm. Size of particle depends upon the method that is used for synthesis of nanoparticles. Magnetic nanoparticles consist of iron, cobalt and nickel and their chemical compounds. Their safety or toxicity is major concern for use in food. Magnetite, hematite and meghemite are types of magnetic nanoparticles. Magnetite (Fe3O4) common among the magnetic iron oxide nanoparticle that is used in food industry. Magnetite is getting popular due to its super paramagnetic properties and lack of toxicity to humans. Different methods are used to synthesize magnetic nanoparticles. Upon contact with air these particles loses magnetism and mono-dispersibility. To overcome this problem these nanoparticles are coated with natural or synthetic polymers, metals, organic and inorganic substances to create stable and hydrophilic nanostructures. Due to easy separation with magnet these magnetic nanoparticles are used as an affinity probe to remove bacteria from different food samples and have food related applications e.g, protein purification, enzyme immobilization and food analysis. These magnetic nanoparticles also used for removal of heavy metals and used in medical field.
