The precision of satellite-based net irrigation quantification in the Indus and Ganges basins
Authors: Kragh Søren J. , Fensholt Rasmus , Stisen Simon , Koch Julian
Published: July 2023

Abstract. Even though irrigation is the largest direct anthropogenic interference in the natural terrestrial water cycle, limited knowledge of the amount of water applied for irrigation exists. Quantification of irrigation via evapotranspiration (ET) or soil moisture residuals between remote-sensing models and hydrological models, with the latter acting as baselines without the influence of irrigation, have successfully been applied in various regions. Here, we implement a novel ensemble methodology to estimate the precision of ET-based net irrigation quantification by combining different ET and precipitation products in the Indus and Ganges basins. A multi-model calibration of 15 models independently calibrated to simulate rainfed ET was conducted before the irrigation quantification. Based on the ensemble average, the 2003–2013 net irrigation amounts to 233 mm yr−1 (74 km3 yr−1) and 101 mm yr−1 (67 km3 yr−1) in the Indus and Ganges basins, respectively. Net irrigation in the Indus Basin is evenly split between dry and wet periods, whereas 70 % of net irrigation occurs during the dry period in the Ganges Basin. We found that, although annual ET from remote-sensing models varied by 91.5 mm yr−1, net irrigation precision was within 25 mm per season during the dry period for the entire study area, which emphasizes the robustness of the applied multi-model calibration approach. Net irrigation variance was found to decrease as ET uncertainty decreased, which is related to the climatic conditions, i.e., high uncertainty under arid conditions. A variance decomposition analysis showed that ET uncertainty accounted for 73 % of the overall net irrigation variance and that the influence of precipitation uncertainty was seasonally dependent, i.e., with an increase during the monsoon season. The results underline the robustness of the framework to support large-scale sustainable water resource management of irrigated land.

Published: July 2023

A thesis is a requirement for students to obtain an undergraduate degree. These requirements apply to the Department of Information Systems at the University of Tanjungpura. The first step in completing a thesis is to determine a title associated with the field of study, which is provided by the Department of Information Systems at the University of Tanjungpura. In the Information Systems Department, the process of determining the field of thesis study is done manually, leading to confusion and difficulty in selecting the appropriate field for students' theses. A decision support system has been developed to facilitate students in determining the field of study for their theses. The system utilizes the profile-matching method with the aim of providing mathematical and accurate recommendations for the thesis's field of study. The system testing employs the black box testing method.
Animal exploitation in Southwestern Iberia at the end of the second millennium BCE: insights from the Late Bronze Age of Outeiro do Circo (Beja, Portugal)
Authors: Almeida Nelson J. , Serra Miguel , Porfírio Eduardo , Silva Sofia
Published: July 2023

The Late Bronze Age was an important phase in European Prehistory but our understanding of its regional dynamics is unequal. Relevant knowledge of the peopling and material culture of Southwestern Iberia between 1170 and 730 BCE exists, but the exploitation and management of animals remain largely uncharacterized. We generally lack the taphonomical data that could allow for an in-depth understanding of faunal assemblages’ formation, with relevance for the description of depositional environments if paired with relative and absolute chronologies. We present two new absolute dates for the Outeiro do Circo Late Bronze Age and a zooarchaeological and taphonomical analysis of the total recovered faunal assemblage. Caprine, swine, and bovine primary and probably secondary products were of importance, with the hunting of red deer and wild boar being complementary. Other species such as leporids, equids, canids and several molluscs were recovered. The latter are mostly intrusive terrestrial gastropods but the scarce presence of scallops and peppery furrow shells can also relate to exchange networks. Taphonomical indicators of the butchering and consumption of animals and the secondary access by a large canid are well attested in the assemblage, as well as the culinary and non-culinary thermo-alteration of animals’ bones.

A review on recent advancement in lithium-selenium batteries: Progress and prospects
Authors: Sobhani Bazghale F.
Published: July 2023

Li-Se batteries are a new generation of batteries with noticeable benefits over the other Li-based counterparts, especially Li-S batteries owing to Se’s greater melting point and better electrical conductivity compared to S, resulting in a battery that is safer at high temperatures. As a result, Li-Se batteries perform better electrochemically and have a substantially higher conductivity. Although selenium has certain issues with sulfur, such as the shuttle effect, which reduces battery efficiency, many researchers have concentrated on Li-Se batteries because of the potential they provide, such as improved performance in common carbonate-based electrolytes. After the rise of Li-Se batteries in the last 10 years, many researchers focused on improving Li-Se batteries in different parts, such as electrode active materials, electrolytes, separators, and binders. In this paper, we review the recent investigations on Li–Se batteries.

This condition’s clinical characteristics include recurrent bleeding, seizures, persistent neurological deficits, epilepsy, and death. In this study, we describe the clinical course of a patient with a Cavernous Malformation and its prognosis regarding the association between clinical progression and therapeutic perspectives. It's relevant to elucidate possible lack of studies that may urge further research on this theme and new learning pathways should be opted for to increase awareness of this condition in order to improve its prognosis.
Sizing Up Zelda Sayre: Covert Strategies of Indictment in Fitzgerald’s “A Full Life”
Authors: Kruse Horst H.
Published: July 2023

The name Hasbrouk as used by F. Scott Fitzgerald in his 1937 story “A Full Life” obliquely references both the French photographer Hazebroucq and the American reformist editor John Whitbeck Hasbrouck (1821–1906), the former reference pointing to dramatic events in the lives of F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald on the French Riviera in 1924, while the latter invokes the parallel lives of Lydia Sayer and Zelda Sayre as emancipated women who threw in their lots with famous husbands. The name proves instrumental in uncovering the covert strategy used by Fitzgerald to assess the role of Zelda Sayre in his personal as well as his professional life, resulting in an all but total indictment of her behavior, which had culminated in an affair with the French naval aviator Edouard Jozan that Fitzgerald fully considered an adulterous one. In the protracted course of its composition, “A Full Life” ceased to be an item intended for publication and became a confessional piece instead. Fitzgerald’s indictment of his wife thus stands as his candid and honest verdict, although possibly subject to some mitigation in his final years.

Composite hydrogels based on natural polymers with manufactured properties according to the desired application for the food industry are currently significant. Thus, this study aimed to study the association of low acyl gellan gum (LAGG) and Aloe vera gel (AVG) for composite hydrogel creation by controlling pH (1, 4, 7), solid content (0.25, 0.50, 0.75 w/v), and polymer ratio (66:33, 50:50, and 33:66 LAGG/AVG). Hydrogels were prepared by physical crosslinking, diluting the required amount of LAGG at 90 °C, followed by AVG at 60 °C, and storing at 4 °C. The study involved the analysis of zeta potential (x), water holding capacity (WHC), hardness, storage modulus ( ), loss modulus ( ), and the phase transition temperature ( ) of hydrogels. The corresponding values of x, WHC, hardness, , and  of produced hydrogels were found to be in the ranges of -23.3±1.52 to 6.3±0.25 mV; 4.6±0.22 to 98.9±0.16%; 0.4±0.15 to 14.3±0.81 N; 16,100 to 89,700 Pa; and 22 to 46 °C. Statistical analysis (p<0.05) showed that pH, solid content, and polymer ratio significantly influenced hydrogels' functional properties. However, as a general trend, the pH*solid content interaction was among the most critical factors influencing response variables.

El-müellifûn el-osmâniyyûn
Authors: BURSALI MEHMED TAHİR
Published: July 2023

The Ottoman Authors, written by Bursalı Mehmed Tahir, is a biographical work consisting of three volumes. From the 14th century, when the Ottoman Empire was founded, to the 20th century, the lives and works of a large number of authors are described in this work. The first volume of the work was published in Istanbul in 1915, followed by the first part of the second volume in 1920 and the second part of the same volume in 1922. A year before the work’s author's death, the third and final volume was published in 1924. The 1691 members of the biographical author cadre are classified according to a particular category. The first volume is divided into two sections, "Maşayih" and "Ulema." The authors whose biographies are listed alphabetically in each chapter are observed to be presented in chronological order. The second volume of the work is entirely dedicated to poets and writers. Numerous biographical sources other than the translations and addendums of Şakayk, particularly tezkires, are evidently widely used. The third volume includes four chapters: "Müverrihîn-i Osmâniyye" "Etıbbâ" "Riyâziyyûn", and "Coğrafiyyûn." In this volume, the chapter titled "Geography" does not elaborate on the lives of the authors, but rather provides a list of geography literature. The printing of the final volume is an outcome of the author's determination to see the work through despite the financial and moral difficulties he encountered. A number of factors that are normally not considered during translation were taken into account while rendering of the work in your hands into Arabic. First of all, the translation of the poems was not preferred in our opinion. Because translating a poem is comparable to plucking a lovely flower from its native soil and attempting to maintain its beauty in another soil. Moreover, Ottoman poetry is extremely dense, with two or three layers of meanings. They are texts in which sound/musicality is as important as the meaning and they are deeply rooted in a cultural environment. Therefore, this poetry cannot be voiced in a different language nor can its meaning be translated; it can only be noted. In the translation, the forms of proper names used for centuries in the cultural geography of three continents have been preserved, instead of the popular usage of some Arabic ones. After initially releasing the publication of the work we prepared in Turkey, TÜBA is now publishing its Arabic translation. We are confident that this TÜBA initiative will make a significant contribution to the cultural and scientific accumulation of the Islamic world and further improve our nation's strong cultural relations with other Muslim countries. We believe that recognizing and promoting works written in Arabic, which was used extensively in Ottoman geography, is a necessary step for our scientific community. Thus, this work will contribute to a more accurate representation of the Ottoman civilization and will introduce the scientists of the Ottoman Empire in countries where Arabic is used effectively.

Fiscal collections administered by the Customs Service have the largest share in the total of taxes and fees levied in the National Public Budget. These receipts are represented by import-export rights that are collected by the customs authority when goods are introduced or removed from the customs territory of the Republic of Moldova and which, according to the provisions of the Customs Code, include: customs tax, tax for customs procedures, value added tax, excise duties and any other sums due to the state for the import of goods, collected by the customs institution. The purpose of the paper is determined by the analysis of customs statistics from the perspective of taxes and duties collected for import-export operations by the Customs Service of the Republic of Moldova, respectively the examination of their evolution and the contribution to the formation of NPB revenues. The researched subject is the collection of import and export duties for goods brought into or out of the territory of our country. In order to achieve the proposed goal, the research methodology was focused on the method of analysis and synthesis, and the results obtained were interpreted and the relevant conclusions were formulated respectively. The conclusions express the significant contribution of taxes collected on import-export operations as revenues administered by the Customs Service. Thus, analyzing all the taxes and charges levied on import and export and respectively collected as revenues in the national public budget, we found the significant weight held by excises and VAT for the goods produced and imported services compared to those provided on the territory of the Republic of Moldova and which cumulatively with the taxes on foreign trade and foreign operations constitute 37 percent of the total revenues of the NPB or 58 percent of the total taxes and fees.

Published: July 2023

Soil moisture is one of the important factors that manipulates the growth and yield of the maize crop. It will help to supply soil nutrients to the plant to enhance the growth and yield of the crop. Due to the lack of moisture in the soil, foliar nutrition is very much affected and thus it reflects on the growth and yield of the crop. The field experiment was conducted during 2020 – 21 at Annamalai University Experimental Farm, Department of Agronomy, Faculty of Agriculture, Annamalai University, Annamalai Nagar, Chidambaram, Tamilnadu, India to maximize the productivity and profitability of maize by adopting various soil moisture conservation techniques and foliar fertilization. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) with three replications. The experiment consists of two factors. In factor I, soil moisture conservation techniques were adopted viz., M1 – Control, M2 - Sugarcane trash, M3 - Water hyacinth and M4 – Hydrogel. In factor II, foliar nutrient management practice was accommodated such as F1 - control (without nutrient), F2 - foliar spray of 1% 19:19:19, F3 - 1% DAP + 1% MOP, F4 - 1% PPFM, F5 - 1% 19:19:19 + 1% PPFM and F6 - 1% DAP + 1% MOP + 1% PPFM. Foliar nutrients were applied at both Knee high and tasseling stages. Among the soil moisture conservation techniques, the results indicated that mulching with Water hyacinth has registered higher growth parameters, yield parameters and yield than other techniques. While different foliar nutrients, the foliar application of 1% DAP + 1% MOP + 1% PPFM (F6 ) have shown higher growth, yield parameters and yield than other treatments. With respect to integration of soil moisture conservation techniques and foliar nutrients, mulching with Water hyacinth andfoliar application of 1% DAP + 1% MOP + 1% PPFM (M3 F6 ) recorded higher growth, yield parameters and yield than the rest of the treatment combinations.

Published: July 2023

Paddy straw is one of the organic materials and natural residues obtained from the paddy crop. It is the third largest crop remanant obtained from the agriculture after sugarcane bagasse and maize straw. Storage of the surplus paddy straw, removal of entire straw from the field and very little time between the cultivation of the next crop are the major issues associated with paddy straw. Thus, stubble burning is a quickest, cheapest and easiest way to prepare field for the next crop. Burning of paddy straw results in extensive impact on both on and off farm, e.g., killing of useful microflora and fauna of the soil, losses of soil organic matter and contribution to harmful greenhouse gases including their harmful effects on human and animal health. Therefore, paddy straw burning is a major issue of environmental pollution also. Hence, need of the hour is to provide environment friendly alternatives to paddy straw instead of burning in open field.

Broccoli is know was the, ‘Crown of jewel nutrition’ because it contains vitamin A (130 times higher than cauliflower and 22 times higher than cabbage), niacin, thiamin, vitamin C, riboflavin and also minerals like Fe, P, K and Ca. It aids in the battle against lung and breast cancer. Organic production of broccoli is the need of the hour to enjoy the excellent health benefit of broccoli with better test avoiding the health hazard of chemical fertilizer residues. Keeping this in mind, the experiment was carried out in the year 2019-20 at the Agricultural Research Farm, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and Allied Industries, Rama University, Kanpur. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design (RBD) for the experimentation at spacing of 60 × 30 cm with 3 replications and 8 treatments with 24 plots. The current experiment clearly demonstrated that the quality, yield, and yield-attributing characteristics of broccoli are significantly improved by the use of organic manures and bio-fertilizers. Among all the treatments, use of Farm Yard Manure (FYM) + Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB) + Azospirillum i.e., T7 in sprouting broccoli was found to be the most effective treatment for obtaining highest yield as well as better quality under UP conditions.

Nanotechnology is a field of science that involves the production of particles with at least one dimension less than 100 nm. These nanoparticles have found various applications in the field of biomedicine, diagnostic, antimicrobial and anticancer agents etc. The present investigation focuses on the development of economical and eco-friendly methods for the biosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles using cell free extract of Penicillium sps. The production of nanoparticles was monitored by scanning through UV Visible Spectrophotometer in the range of 300-70 nm. Size and shape of nanoparticles were determined by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) while the elemental composition was studied by Energy- dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The presence of various functional groups that might have contributed for stability of silver nanoparticles was determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Antioxidant activities of silver nanoparticles were studied by 2,2- diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging, Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) radical scavenging and Reducing Power Assay (RPA). The nanoparticles showed dose dependent increase in antioxidant activities with IC50 value of 314.47 + 4.96 µg/ml and 317.34 + 4.40 µg/ml respectively for DPPH scavenging and H2 O2 radical scavenging activity

Northeast India is endowed with a hydropower potential of 66,000 megawatts, which represents about 40% of the national potential. While looking at the benefits of huge hydropower potential of the region, many serious issues are overlooked and not projected in proper way. Geographical disadvantage, threat to ecosystem, impact on river morphology, socio economic challenges and downstream impacts are the major challenges in hydropower development in the region. In this review paper, an attempt is made to address all those issues with some effective development and management options for sustainable hydropower development in the geographically, ecologically and socially ultra-sensitive region of Northeast India. Small projects instead of large dams, structural modification, change in location and combination of both (scaling down and change in location) are effective options to minimize the negative impacts as well as to safeguard the environment and society. Intensive and comprehensive Environmental and Social Impact Assessment study prior to dam construction is necessary. Local people as well as downstream people should be given due importance in the whole process of EIA and benefit sharing

The worship practices of indigenous people represent a symbiotic relationship between human beings and nature. Since old times conservation of biodiversity and natural resources has been an identical part of diverse cultures in different ways. Sacred groves are those patches of trees on forest land that are protected by local and Indigenous people with religious perspective and connotations. These are tracts of virgin forests with highly rich diversity, which have been protected by the traditional societies and indigenous communities since ages for their cultural and religious beliefs. Every sacred grove caries own myths, lore and legends which form the integral part of the sacred groves. These groves are distributed across the globe, and are diverse culturally. It recognizes them in different ways encoding various rules and regulations for their protection. India is rich in culture and tradition where sacred groves occur in different parts of Indian sub-continent viz., Central India, Western India, North-east India, etc. particularly where the tribal and ethnic communities live. Sacred groves play a vital role in biodiversity conservation and management. Several plants and animal species that are threatened in the wild are still well conserved in some of the groves. It also emphasizes that a number of medicinal plant species that are uncommon in wild forest lands, are abundant in many sacred groves. Furthermore, rare, threatened, endangered and endemic species are often concentrated in these groves. The religious belief of tribal and local communities plays an impressive role in utilization and conservation of flora and fauna of the particular region. Although, by the passage of time, adequate number of changes have taken place in the extension of the sacred groves, in their vegetation structure, people’s perception towards them and religious belief. The current study focused on documentation of all the sacred grooves of Badampahar Forest Range along with their floral and faunal composition. The study also aimed on documentation of all the traditional social beliefs associated to every listed sacred grove.
