Determination of Seed Morphologies and Effect of Pretreatments on Germination of Crataegus monogyna (Jac.) and Crataegus azarolus var. pontica (K. Koch) K. I. Chr Seeds
Authors: GÖKTÜRK Aşkın , YILDIRIM Ferhat
Published: September 2020

Aim of the study: This study was conducted to determine seed morphologies and the effects of pretreatments on germination of common hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna Jac.) and azarole (Crataegus azarolus var. pontica (K. Koch.) K. I. Chr) seeds.
Material and methods: Ripe fruits of the common hawthorn and azarole seeds were collected from trees growing in Hatila Valley and Pamukcular Village in September 2016 in Artvin, Turkey. The seeds were subjected to varying durations of ash solution, sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide, ethanol and combinations of ash solution and sulfuric acid pretreatments. The seeds were sown according to a randomized complete block design with four replications.
Main results: Germination of azarole seeds (37.31%) was higher than that of common hawthorn seeds (16.53%). The ash solution pretreatments did not affect the germination of the common hawthorn seeds. Hovewer, it was found to be more effective (p<0.05) on germination of azarole seeds.The highest germination percentage (64.98%) of azarole seeds were found in seeds that had been treated in sulfuric acid for 6 hours with ash solution for 144 hours.
Highlights: In order to remove the seed dormancy of azarole seeds, an ash solution treatment can be applied togetheror separately with sulfuric acid.

Authors: Rennig Maja , Bach Falkenberg Kristoffer , Hernandez Rollan Cristina , Birk Bertelsen Andreas , Norholm Morten
Published: September 2020

The methylotrophic yeast Komagataella phaffii (formerly Pichia pastoris) is the most commonly used yeast species in the production of recombinant proteins. This is most likely due to its ability to grow to high cell density, to express recombinant genes in a tightly controlled manner and to efficiently secrete proteins. Despite its biotechnological importance and wide use in industry, relatively few genetic tools are readily available for academic research. Here, we present a protocol for production of proteins in K. phaffii. The protocol found here is modified from the protocol provided in the Pichia Expression Kit (Catalog Number K1710-01, Invitrogen).

Authors: Albantani Azkia Muharom , Fauziah Afwa Uzna , Sumiantia Iis
Published: September 2020

This paper aims to examine the development of Arabic vocabulary through isytiqāq kabīr, akbar, and kubbār. Isytiqāq or derivation has appeared among Arabic linguists from the beginning of the third century hijriah until the middle of the end of the fourth century hijriah. The qualitative research method (al-bahts al-kayfi) with the type of library research is used in this paper to examine library materials related to the writing theme. The study results show that the type of isytiqāq kabīr is the same as taqlīb (change), the type of isytiqāq akbar is the same as ibdal, and the type of isytiqāq kubbār is the same as naht (acronym). The three isytiqāq have differences, namely; isytiqāq kabīr / akbar is to form various syllables from a syllable consisting of three phonemes, but still has elements of the same meaning. The similarity in meaning is because the word formed comes from a root word with the same phoneme. While isytiqāq kubbār is to form a new word by abbreviating two or more words, which results in an abbreviated word meaning.

The changes made by pregnancy in a woman's body and constituting its physiological state, in terms of the features by which they differ significantly from all other physiological states and which are encountered in a number of pathological phenomena, are undoubtedly of deep interest. In the meantime, this question has been studied very little: "local changes" have been studied comparatively more, "changes in the whole organism" represent an even wide field for the activity of researchers. Until now, for example, one of the main issues has not been developed - the volume of changes in blood composition during pregnancy, and Runge d) rightly points out that our knowledge on this issue is still on shaky ground.

Authors: Mudrov Viktor A.
Published: September 2020

Hypothesis/aims of study. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possibilities of geometric modeling in reducing the error of estimated fetal weight calculation.
Study design, materials and methods. During the first stage of the study, a mathematical dependency was determined by geometric modeling of the results of an objective examination of the pregnant woman, which hypothetically will reduce the error of estimated fetal weight calculation. The second stage of the study included a prospective analysis of the error of the developed method and standard formulas for estimated fetal weight calculation at full-term pregnancy, and the third stage at preterm pregnancy. Weighing the newborn is the gold standard, which allows to objectively assess the error of the studied formulas.
Results. The average value of the relative error of fetal weight calculation using the Jordanias formula was 14,2%, the Johnsons 18,6%, the Lankowitzs 16,2%, the Yakubovas 12,2%, the Rudakovs method 14,3%, and the developed formula 9,0%.
Conclusion. The data obtained confirmed the high importance of geometric modeling in reducing the error of estimated fetal weight calculation.

Authors: Yarmolinskaya Maria I. , Abashova Elena I. , Bulgakova Olga L.
Published: September 2020

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine pathology that affects 814% of women of reproductive age. The leading signs of the disease are hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction, and polycystic ovarian morphology. Over the past decades, a variety of animal models have been developed to study the etiology and pathogenesis of PCOS, including chemical, hormonal, and genetic interventions. However, a large number of experimental techniques differ even in the framework of a single model. In this review article, we summarized PCOS animal models using both direct hormonal effects and indirect methods.
Modernity and contemporaneity in dialogue with the heritage
Authors: Marques João Luís
Published: September 2020

Since the 1960s, the artistic and architectural interventions carried out in the church of Santa Isabel and Rato Chapel, in Lisbon, brought to the debate the overlap of different narratives in these two different spaces of worship: the first, is a parish church preserved by the earthquake of Lisbon (1755), which had its liturgical space redesigned before the Second Vatican Council; the second, is a private chapel annexed to a 18th century palace that became a symbolic worship space for students and engaged young professionals since the 1970s. Enriched with the work of either well-known artists or, sometimes, anonymous architects, the two case studies show us the life of monuments, where Modern and Contemporary Art and Architecture participate in preserving and enhancing their cultural value. At the same time, the liturgical and pastoral activities are shown to be the engine behind successive interventions.

La Utopía en América Latina; Un Acercamiento al Legado Histórico y las Políticas Actuales
Authors: Villota-Enríquez Maribel Deicy , Bámaca-Lopéz Efraín , Villota Enríquez Dora Alexandra
Published: September 2020

This article brings us closer to the concept of utopia in Latin America from the historical legacy and some current regional policies, important to understand the transformations and social constructions in Latin America. The methodology used was qualitative and primary and secondary theoretical documentary sources were used for this analysis, highlighting among them: news, photos, life stories and historical records that are part of the cultural heritage of some specific countries. The importance of investigating and reflecting on the construction of a nation is vital to understand, over the course of space time, the social, political, economic and governmental dynamics that interweave when it comes to including multiple biodiverse nations in an imaginary. The wealth that is established today in Central American, South American and also Caribbean countries, carries on its back the reality of registering for development, joining the vanguard of the utopia of progress that today transgresses its environment, its diversity, its people and above all, the idea of being able to think as if they were in an environment where establishing differences is the principle of exclusion. The utopian construction of the imaginary of the nation in Latin America still moves between the perception of what others conceive of America, and the idea of the territory by the peoples who inhabit it.

Authors: Singh Ajay , Bhadauria B. S. , Gangwar Prashant Kumar
Published: September 2020

In the present paper, we studied feedback control of chaotic convection in porous medium under gravity modulation. A non-autonomous system having three differential equations is obtained by employing the truncated Galerkin expansion method in to the modulated momentum and energy equations, called as Lorenz system in the literature. The parameter R demonstrates either periodic or chaotic behavior of the system as increasing R. It is also found that the influence of amplitude of modulation is to advance the chaotic nature in the system whereas the feedback control and frequency of modulation parameters have tendency to delay the chaotic behavior.

Authors: Singh Santosh Kumar , Yadav Anurag Singh , Srivastava Ashutosh , Singh Amarjeet
Published: September 2020

In this paper, a detailed study is carried out on the solar photovoltaic (PV) array topologies under various shading patterns. The aim of this study is to investigate the mismatch effect losses in PV modules for non uniform irradiations. The shading causes not only power losses, but also non-linearity of P-V characteristics. Under partial shaded conditions, the P-V and I-V characteristics exhibit extreme non-linearity along with multiple load maxima. In this paper, the investigations of the optimal layout of PV modules in a PV array are worked out to provide maximum output power under various shaded conditions. Three type of solar PV array topologies e.g. Series-parallel (SP), Total cross tied (TCT) and Bridge link (BL) are considered for various typesof shaded patterns. The modeling of solar PV array for various types of topologies is done in MATLAB/Simulink environment. The extensive results have been taken on these topologies for partial shading patterns and analyzed, which proves the TCT topology performance is better as compared to other topologies for most of the shading patterns.

Authors: Srikanth S.
Published: September 2020

The problem of quantification of volume under heterogeneous traffic has been addressed by converting the different types of vehicles into equivalent passenger cars and expressing the volume or capacity of roads in terms of PCU per hour. The traffic movement under heterogeneous traffic condition differs, however, significantly from that of homogeneous traffic in respect of the pattern of occupancy of road space by vehicles. Video graphic technique was used for the traffic flow data collection. A Traffic Enumeration Software was used for extracting speed, flow and headway data. Space occupancy method was used for PCU determination where in the space headway of each vehicle was also taken into consideration along with the projected area of the vehicle. Dynamic PCU values of different vehicles were found out corresponding to both speed and flow ranges. Reliability of dynamic PCU values of different vehicles is also determined by using density.

Authors: Singh Garima , Singh Bharat Raj
Published: September 2020

Solar and Wind energy is available in plenty in the country like India.Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaic (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power (CSP). Wind is the indirect form of solar energy and is always being replenished by the sun. Wind energy is the kinetic energy of air in motion also called wind.Technical potential of onshore wind energy is large. CSP technology with thermal storage having potential to replace the conventional thermal power plant.Advantage of CSP technology is that thermal storage technology is easily integrated with the CSP technology in compare with the photovoltaic and wind power technology. When the PV is hybridized with Wind it does not meet the satisfactory performance. PV and Wind power generation technologies not suitable at grid level due to intermittency in the availability of sun and wind. Hybridization of PV with CSP is the option to sole the intermittency problem and provide the energy at grid level. The research status of PV-CSP hybrid technology for its performance is summarized from the study made in this paper to provide a current global scenario, but it is observed that for economic and efficient power generation with the effective proportions of integrated PV-CSP hybrid systems that are yet to be researched.

Published: September 2020

Extensive research has found nano-particles, for many years subject of unanimous concern because of their anomalous electromagnetic properties originating from the resonant interaction between light and collective conduction electron oscillations so called surface Plasmons. These properties in particular local electric field enhancements enable applications such as single molecule detection using surface enhanced Raman scattering and the synthesis of composite materials exhibiting an enhanced nonlinear optical response. Since all these applications rely on the resonant behavior of localized surface Plasmons, they are restricted to a limited frequency range determined by the dielectric function of the involved media, the size and shape of the particles and the electromagnetic interaction between them. Thus those properties of the Plasmons and Polaritons on the Carbon Nanotube have been studied in different size with help of theoretical study. The surface frequency of Plasmon varies with propagation constant on the surface of Carbon Nanotube when it is placed in dielectric medium, so this new property of Carbon Nanotube have been seen in other dielectric medium. This property of surface Plasmon can be used in telecommunication, satellite media, biomedical sciences etc.

Published: September 2020

Objective: This study aimed to compare the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and hyperhomocysteinemia and to specify predictors of the metabolic syndrome among patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
Method: This cross sectional study was conducted on 100 patients with schizophrenia and 100 patients with bipolar disorder. The participants' metabolic syndrome was determined according to the criteria set by Third Report of the National Cholesterol Education Program–Adult Treatment Panel III. Hyperhomocysteinemia was considered as homocysteine levels higher than 15 µmol/L. Chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, student t test, Mann-Whitney test, and logistic regression were used for data analysis.
Results: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was not significantly different (P = 0.07) between patients with schizophrenia (27%) and bipolar disorder (39%). No statistically significant difference (P = 0.17) was observed between patients with schizophrenia (82%) and bipolar disorder (74%) in the prevalence of hyperhomocysteinemia. The results of multivariable logistic regression model showed a significant association of smoking and BMI with metabolic syndrome in patients with schizophrenia (OR = 3.69, 95% CI: 1.13-12.05, and OR = 1.38, 95% CI: 1.20-1.60, respectively). In patients with bipolar disorder, BMI was a significant predictor of developing metabolic syndrome (OR = 1.29, 95% CI: 1.14-1.47). Metabolic syndrome was more prevalent in women than in men in both diagnostic groups (P < 0.05). No significant difference was observed in hyperhomocysteinemia prevalence between male and female patients with schizophrenia (P = 1.00). However, hyperhomocysteinemia was more prevalent in males than in females among patients with bipolar disorder (P = 0.001).
Conclusion: Findings showed a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome and hyperhomocysteinemia among patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. To deal with this problem, regular monitoring and conducting early interventions are recommended to determine the metabolic risk profile and to prevent the cardiovascular diseases.
