The Electrical Magnetism of Maxwell (1873) Is the “Crooked Mirror” of Physical Science
Authors: Sizov Robert A.
Published: May 2019

The concept of the electric magnetism Maxwell (1873) is a result of the superficial and exceptionally erroneous impression of Great Physicist from the well-known experience of Oersted. However the world scientific community adopted this erroneous impression as the ultimate truth and, following Maxwell, declared the moving electric charges to be direct sources of the magnetic field. At same time, the true sources of the magnetic field the magnetic poles (magnetic charges) which are the real structural components of atoms and substance, were “buried alive”. Such theoretical discoveries as the curvature of four-dimensional space-time, explaining the physics of gravity, the big bang, the journey through “Black holes” in space and time, and many others, are well known. All these discoveries were formed without taking into account the existence of real magnetic poles (magnetic charges) since were based on the provisions of Maxwell’s flawed electromagnetic concept. The main reason which for more than 100 years inhibits the detection and recognition of real magnetic charges, are the special conditions of their confinement in a substance that are radically in the substance different from confinement of electrons. The results the experiments of F. Ehrenhaft, the present author and others in which of real magnetic charges were observed in the structures of atoms and substance prove that the existing concept of electric magnetism is deeply erroneous, and the fundamental change in physical priorities is the most important task today. Physical science, freed from vicious EM-concept of Maxwell and the accompanying relativism will offer humanity innovations in the form of practically useful physical effects and manifestations. This article presents 11 such innovations discovered by the author when embedded into the representations of real magnetic charges including, example, the electromagnetic (vortex) nature of the gravitational field, as well as the effects of Gravitational levitation and Intra-atomic gravitational shielding (IAGS). The first effect allows, for example, a person to go out into space without the use of jet thrust. The IAGS effect largely determines the physics of such fundamental manifestations as the chemical bonding, nuclear forces, and radioactivity.
A Case Study of Enhancing Sustainable Intensification of Chinese Torreya Forest in Zhuji of China
Authors: Chen Xiongwen , Jin Hangbiao
Published: May 2019

Chinese torreya (Torreya grandis cv. Merrillii) is an important cash tree in southeastern China and this species plays a major role in local economy. Establishing new plantations of Chinese torreya would be necessary in order to receive more economic benefit. However, expanding the area of torreya plantations would conflict with other land-use and also affect regional biodiversity. Under this context, local people and government made a paradigm shift from nuts productivity to sustainable practices. They explored the multi-functionalities of Chinese torreya forests, such as the social, cultural, environmental and health functionalities, and developed ecotourism as a breakthrough. The development of multi-functionalities of torreya plantations greatly improved the local economy and led a success in the local society. The strategy of this case completely followed the principles of sustainable intensification of agriculture and translational ecology, which involve scientists, stakeholders and policy makers to emphasize landscape multi-functionalities and minimize environmental impacts of operations. The knowledge from this study may be helpful to research in other regions.

The Chapada of Araripe is an exceptional landscape in the Caatinga, a seasonally dry tropical forest of northeastern Brazil, as it shelters several vegetation types, such as Carrasco, Cerrado, Cerradão and Humid Forest, different from the biome in which it is inserted. The first three phytophysiognomies mentioned above are already relatively well documented. However, studies of the Humid Forest of the Chapada of Araripe are still incipient. In this context, the objective of this work was to contribute to the knowledge of the composition and structural organization of the flora of a wetland area of the Chapada of Araripe, Crato-CE. The research was developed from April 2014 to February 2016 and all individuals with CAP ≥ 15 cm were sampled. The botanical material was collected in 100 plots (100 m × 10 m), between coordinates 7º14′36″S, 7º15′23.5″S and 39º28′50″W, 39º29′30.8″W at an elevation between 904 m and 963 m, at the top of the Chapada of Araripe, Crato-CE. The testimonial material was deposited in the Herbarium Caririense Dárdano de Andrade-Lima of the Regional University of Cariri. We sampled 3,067 individuals distributed in 59 species. The total basal area was 43,278 m2 and the density was 3,067 per hectare. The families Fabaceae, Myrtaceae, Rubiaceae, Lauraceae and Chrysobalanceae presented greater specific richness. The species Ocotea nitida (Meisn.) Rower, Protium heptaphyllum (Aubl.) Marchand, Licania sp. and Cordiera myrciiflora (K. Schum.) C. H. Press. & Delprete were the most important to the community due to the high IVI for the sampled area. The first occurrence of the genus Helicostylis for Ceará was recorded.

Published: May 2019

The use of growth regulators in potato crop is an alternative to reduce the aerial growth of plants and redirects carbon assimilates and nutrients to the tubers. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of growth regulators, paclobutrazol and trinexapac-ethyl on plant growth and changes on the anatomy of leaves of cultivar Markies in summer conditions of the southern region of Brazil. Potato plants cv. Markies were in the summer growing season of Southeast region of Brazil and 35 days after planting, the plants were sprayed with paclobutrazol (PBZ) at 0.125 and 0.250 L ha-1 and trinexapac-ethyl (TE) at 1.0 and 2.0 L ha-1. Treatment with PBZ at both doses reduced the height of potato plants, which resulted in higher index of leaf chlorophyll and reduced the content of starch and non-reducing sugars. Both PBZ and TE treated plants exhibited anatomical changes in the leaves, including larger epidermal cells and more elongated palisades cells. These data suggest that such changes in the anatomy of potato leaf in response to the use of PBZ directly influence leaf metabolism.

Published: May 2019

The aim of the study is to assess Crotalaria ochroleuca susceptibility to six Heterodera glycines races. To this, C. ochroleuca seedlings and two soybean cultivars were transplanted and individually inoculated with nematode races 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 14. Plants were collected and assessed 30 and 60 days after inoculation. Crotalaria ochroleuca reduced the number of females and the total number of eggs of the races 1, 2, 5 and 6. The reproduction of race 3 in crotalaria was equal to that of soybean cultivars in both assessment periods, whereas race 14 only reduced the reproduction in crotalaria to 60 days. Races 1 and 6 (30th day) and races 6 and 14 (60th day) showed number of eggs female-1 smaller than the controls. According to female index (FI), C. ochroleuca was resistant to races 1, 2 and 5, susceptible to race 3, and showed varying reactions to races 6 and 14.

Published: May 2019

Cabbage presents high nutrients demand, which requires proposal of recommendation models that are compatible with current productive potential. The objective of this study was to propose a nutritional balance model to recommend nutrients for cabbage. In order to estimate fertilizer recommendation, the system considered the requirement subsystem (REQ), which includes the crop demand and recovery efficiency (RE) of the applied nutrient, and supply subsystem (SUP), which corresponds to the nutrient supply by soil and crop residues. To determine the attributes needed to estimate nutritional demand, values were obtained from literature and from two experiments, one with nitrogen (N) and one with potassium (K). The fertilizer recommendation for N, P and K consisted in the difference between REQ and SUP. For the other nutrients, the system presented only crop export and extraction and not the REQ due to scarcity of data regarding RE. The modeling is a useful tool for recommending fertilization for cabbage and is subject to constant improvements.

Published: May 2019

Sowing depth of forage seed is an important factor in seed germination and emergence and varies according to crop. Ideal sowing should be performed at a depth sufficient to promote rapid and uniform germination, with minimal reserve expenditure and facilitating nutrient uptake by the plant. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of sowing depth on seed germination of forage species in the field. The experiment was implemented in September 2018. The design was completely randomized in a 4 × 4 factorial scheme with four replicates, being the first factor four forage cultivars: Urochloa ‘Xaraés’; Urochloa ‘Piatã’; Urochloa ruziziensis and Panicum maximum ‘Mombaça’; and the second factor four sowing depths: 0; 4; 7 and 10 cm. The variables evaluated were initial emergence; emergence at 10 days after sowing; emergence at 21 days after sowing and emergence speed index. Seeding at 0 cm provides greater emergence of seedlings for Urochloa brizantha ‘Piatã’, Urochloa brizantha ‘Xaraés’, Urochloa ruziziensis and Panicum maximum ‘Mombaça’. Seedling emergence reduced when sowing was performed at greater depths (4, 7, and 10 cm). If necessary, Urochloa brizantha ‘Piatã’ should be sown up to 7 cm. The sowing at 10 cm depth is not recommended for any of the studied cultivars.

The inappropriate use of herbicides has increased the resistance of weeds; thus, the study of allelopathy becomes of paramount importance. The ability of certain plants to interfere with the metabolism of others by means of substances released into the environment, either by their aerial or roots system, becomes an alternative to combat invasive plants, dispensing with or reducing the use of herbicides. The objective of this work was to evaluate the plant species most sensitive to the allelopathic potential of aqueous extracts. One of the plant species studied was lettuce because it had a rapid response potential, thus showing the benefits obtained through allelopathy.

Published: May 2019

In order to select a conilon coffee (Coffea canephora Pierre ex A. Froehner) adapted to shade, four varieties (C153, JM2, LB1 and GG) were submitted to four shade levels (0, 30, 50 and 70) with evaluation of plant height, stem diameter, collar diameter, number of plagiotropic branches, number of fruits, root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and leaf anatomy. The experiment was carried out on a completely randomized design, in a 4 × 4 factorial scheme with ten replicates. We used organic compost based on cocoa shells for plant nutrition and cow urine for phytopathogenic fungi control. There was interaction between variety and shade factors for most of coffee characteristics analyzed. In general all coffee characteristics evaluated mainly fruit number and length of fruiting branches, significantly increased with increasing shade. Coffee varieties tested respond differently to the increasing of shade levels and leaf anatomy demonstrated the reduction of mesophyll thickness as the shading increased. The effect of shade levels on fruit yield fit to a positive linear regression for all four coffee varieties tested but the mycorrhizal colonization no presented differences among coffee varieties and shade levels. The varieties C153 and GG presented highlighted anatomical, growth and productive characteristics and can be indicated for shading cultivation, for example on agroforestry systems.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the impact of changes in soil management and crop rotation on a clayey Oxisol under no-tillage system in nutrient cycling and soybean yield. The experiment was conducted in the 2014/2015 harvest, at the Agronomic Institute of Parana (IAPAR), at the Experimental Station of Santa Tereza do Oeste, in a clayey Oxisol, in a completely randomized design with four replicates. The management systems evaluated were: no-tillage system (control), no-tillage system with scarification (NTSS) and no-tillage system with gypsum application (NTSG), and six treatments involving crop rotation with species reclaimers of structure: pearl millet, dwarf pigeon pea, sunn hemp, pigeon pea, rattlebox and velvet bean. The attributes/chemical characteristics of the soil were evaluated: phosphorus (P), calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), potassium (K+), organic carbon (C), soil acidity (pH), aluminum (Al3+), potential acidity (H++Al3+), base sum (BS), cation exchange capacity (CEC), base saturation (V), aluminum saturation (Al*) in the layers 0-0.05, 0.05-0.10, 0.10-0.20 and 0.20-0.40 m, after the application of treatments and cultivation of soil cover species. Statistical analysis was performed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the means of the treatments compared by the Tukey test at 5 % of significance. The pigeon pea provided higher phosphorus cycling (63.67 mg dm-3), velvet bean, larger magnesium cycling (4.25 cmolc dm-3) and higher values of organic carbon (27.67 g dm-3) in the layer of 0.05-0.10 m. The yield of grains, number of plants per meter and mass of 100 soybean grains did not present significant differences among the evaluated treatments.

Potential impacts of climate change on Mongolia’s plant protection status quo
Authors: B Batkhuyag , Kh Batnaran
Published: May 2019

Mongolia’s 2030 Sustainable Development Vision set a goal to be a self-sufficient in grain, potatoes and vegetables by 2030. However, Mongolia’s pastoral animal husbandry and rain-fed agriculture are extremely sensitive to climate change. The Asian migratory locust is considered as the most harmful grasshopper in the world. Until 1970th, these locust’s distribution areas in Mongolia were confined to oasis of Gobi deserts. A study on Asian migratory locust in Russia predicts distribution and formation of new permanent habitats of the locust in Chita oblast, Krasnoyarsk territory and Republic of Tyva. The Colorado beetle is one of the world’s most infamous invasive species due to its rapid adaptation to a wide range of ecological conditions and ability to disperse long distances. The climate modeling of Colorado beetle showed that with current trend, the beetle will expand its distribution into the most eastern and north-eastern regions of the Russian Federation. In China, the Colorado beetle was first detected in Xinjiang in 1993 and subsequently spread eastward. In China the Colorado beetle is currently expanding its areas at rate of 25 kms year (12-45 kms/year). Both species’ distribution patterns in neighboring countries show eventual establishment of permanent habitats around Mongolia. Their invasion to Mongolia will threaten country’s food security due to direct destruction of cereal and potato crops, and increased application of highly toxic pesticides. In light of these threats, Mongolia should start taking serious preventive measures by increasing surveillance and dedicated risk assessment studies for potential agricultural pests and diseases.

Feasibility of Artificial Insemination Network for Egyptian Buffalo Development
Authors: Soliman Ibrahim , Mashhour Ahmed F.
Published: May 2019

Reviews of literature confirmed that Egypt has a comparative advantage in milk production rather than red meat, particularly from buffalo. In addition, there is an increasing scarcity in water resources, which constrains horizontal expansion in fodder acreage. In addition, there is a sharp competition between food demand and feed demand on available agricultural land resources. Thereof, a horizontal expansion in dairy buffalo stock would not be feasible. Thereof, the only option for buffalo development in Egypt is the vertical expansion via increasing milk yield to fulfil the current deficit in domestic milk production. The Egyptian consumer gives high preference to buffalo milk for color taste and high content of total solids, particularly fat. Buffalo milk has higher price than cow milk and its production grow faster than cow milk production. Artificial insemination (AI) network is the approach to accelerate the proposed genetic improvement of the buffalo milk yield. A recent study [1], provided evidence that the return of genetic investment in dairy buffalo would be feasible, (IRR = 19.71%) However, the Official statistics showed that there are only two AI-centers for buffalo selected buffalo sires, serving four AI-units in Egypt. Therefrom, the objective of this study was to assess the feasibility of establishment an AI-network in Egypt, by estimating (NPV, IRR, and payback period) and its sensitivity to unfavorite changes that may face the proposed program. The study used a field survey data collected from an AI-unit of the buffaloes’ semen and an AI-Center for raising buffalo sires in Nile Delta. Results showed that, while the average discount rate of the Egyptian economy was 17.5%, under the most probable condition the estimated IRR for one AI-unit was about 35%. A 10% Decrease in Semen Price and a 10% increase in Insemination Costs would result in IRR about 28% and 31%, respectively. The estimated IRR for the AI-center, under the most probable conditions was about 31%. 10% Decrease in Semen Price, and 10% increase in feed costs or in Sire’s price would result in 26%, 30% or 28% respectively. Thereof, the less sale price of semen dose is the most effective variable on the IRR. However, unfavorable changes would keep investments with high incentives in establishing a feasible AI-Network for increasingly rapidly the dairy buffalo milk yield.
Technical contribution: a cautionary note on the use of behavioural diversity (H-Index) in animal welfare science
Authors: Cronin KA , Ross SR
Published: May 2019

Animal welfare scientists actively seek reliable and practical metrics that can serve as indicators of animal welfare for use with agricultural, laboratory and zoo-housed animals. Behavioural diversity as a welfare concept originated from early welfare scientists linking poor animal welfare with a high proportion of time spent engaged in stereotyped behaviours and little expression of behaviours that would be expected under wild, or natural conditions. Recently, the concept of behavioural diversity as a welfare indicator has been widely adopted and is frequently quantified by the Shannon-Wiener Diversity Index (H-index). However, the H-Index is fraught with theoretical and mathematical limitations when applied to animal welfare. Four key problems with this metric are demonstrated: the metric's responsivity to the size of the behavioural repertoire and the underlying assumption that larger behavioural repertoires reflect better welfare, the sensitivity of the metric to arbitrary decisions about the resolution of behavioural categories, the fact that the calculation of the metric is agnostic to the valence of behaviours, and the metric's susceptibility to the common practice of excluding some behavioural categories. Moving forward, we recommend focusing on validated welfare measures that are sensitive to valence when evaluating animal welfare.
Farm manager involvement in an equine on-farm welfare assessment: opportunities for education and improvement

Previous work surveying equine professionals has suggested ignorance to be a primary cause of poor welfare within the industry, highlighting the importance of improving educational opportunities for industry stakeholders. This may be achieved through on-farm assessments designed to evaluate facilities and share resources with farm owners. While used extensively for evaluating production animal facilities, equine facilities are rarely formally assessed, making it important to determine how well those assessments would be received by equine owners and managers. As part of a larger project, an on-farm equine welfare assessment tool was pilot-tested on a sample of diverse horse farms (n = 26). Farm managers completed a self-assessment to determine their perception of their own farms with respect to animal welfare and then participated in the on-farm assessment process. Post-assessment interviews allowed participants to provide feedback regarding their experience. Farm managers most often underestimated the prevalence of structural issues in their facilities but were more discerning in management-related elements (eg stall cleanliness). Descriptive analysis indicated that farm managers felt that the on-farm assessment tool had the potential to be useful to newcomers to the industry and for a certification programme. Participants also highlighted areas that could make enforcing welfare standards an issue, such as horse and farm ownership. Understanding the perception of on-farm assessments is useful to gauge the potential success of animal care assessment programmes. If well-received, an industry-driven, on-farm welfare assessment has the potential to better educate horse farm managers and, by extension, improve the welfare of the animals under their care.
In-tank underwater cameras can refine monitoring of laboratory fish

Laboratory animals need to be monitored to check the status of their health and welfare. Routine checks of laboratory fish are limited to visual observations of physical appearance and behaviour, but for species held in opaque-walled tanks, such checks are compromised by restricted views, poor visibility and provoked behaviour. Here, we report our experience of using in-tank underwater cameras to monitor laboratory populations of salmoniforme, perciforme and cypriniforme fish. A range of cameras and lenses were investigated and trialled. A standard VGA resolution analogue camera with a one-third-inch chip and 3.6-mm lens was selected based on size, picture quality, the proportion of tank in view and cost. A shell for the camera and mounting system were designed to minimise size and cleaning and enable flexible positioning within tanks. Cameras were connected via digital encoders to a server, making video available to the general computer network. Data collected from recordings of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) confirmed provoked behaviour, ie a change in distribution and increase in activity in response to direct viewing and feeding. The networked cameras therefore enable remote viewing of undisturbed behaviour in real time, providing clear, lateral views unaffected by water surface effects, and facilitate increased frequency of checking. Case studies illustrate how camera monitoring can aid detection of abnormalities in behaviour (eg lack of feeding, posture, swimming) and appearance (eg clinical signs, such as lesions), enabling earlier interventions. Furthermore, recordings provide a resource for reference and retrospective analysis, and evidence to support severity classification and identify humane end-points.

Stihijski, neplanski, nekritički i, uglavnomnametnut pristup finansijskoj stabilizaciji, liberalizaciji i privatizaciji, kao ključnimodrednicama sveukupnog procesa tranzicije, učinio je domaća (društvena) preduzeća,u značajno izmijenjenim uslovima privređivanja, gotovo neodrživim. Riječju, ovapreduzeća nisu uspjela da usklade dinamiku promjena u sopstvenoj mikro sferi(poslovanje, organizacija, finansiranje) sa dinamikom promjena koje su dolazilespolja. Restrukturiranje preduzeća nije ispunilo prvobitna očekivanja, u smislupripreme preduzeća za poslovanje u tržišnim uslovima jer nikad nije ni biloafirmisano niti dovoljno zastupljeno u našem pravnom i ekonomskom sistemu.Razlozi za to su brojni. Stoga će, u ovom radu, naša pažnja biti usmjerena nasagledavanje osnovnih karakteristika procesa privatizacije i restrukturiranja uRepublici Srpskoj. Namjera nam je da kroz kritičku ocjenu dosadašnjih rezultataukažemo na buduće pravce restrukturiranja koji bi, po našem mišljenju, doprinijelinjegovoj konačnoj afirmaciji i dovođenju u funkciju aktivnog instrumenta zapoboljšanje sveukupne konkurentnosti domaćeg realnog sektora i ispunjenje ciljevadruštveno-ekonomskog rasta i razvoja.

U većini Islamskih zemalja, finansijska tržišta su nedovoljno razvijena ili su serazvila do određenog nivoa. Državni vrednosni papiri koji se kotiraju u manjoj meri,predstavljaju instrumente koji sadrže kamatu. Berzanska tržišta, takođe su nedovoljnorazvijena, sa aspekta Islamskih finansijskih institucija, iako takva ulaganja imajupotencijalno veći interes nego konvencionalni državni vrednosni papiri. Deonice kojesu specifične za Islamske kompanije, a kotiraju se na berzama u Kairu, Ammanu iKuvajtu, ali i mnoge druge deonice koje se nalaze u ponudi, mogu se smatratilegitimnim ulaganjima prema Islamu.Islamsko finansijsko tržište uključujebankarstvo, tržište kapitala i osiguranja, koji su u skladu sa šerijatskim principima(zakon se temelji na Kuranu). Islamske finansije formirane su tako da izbegavaju sveono što je zabranjeno šerijatom, a to je: riba (kamata), maisir (kockanje), i gharar(dvosmislenost).

Islamske zemlje suočene su sa problemima ekonomskog razvoja.

Njihov cilj je kreiranje konzistentnogpristupa koji će pomoći Islamskim zemljama u definisanju vlastite razvojne strategijezasnovane na osnovnim principima Islama.Na razvoj gledaju kao namultidimenzionalni proces simultanog razvoja materijalnih, moralnih i duhovnihvrednosti čoveka u vremenskom totalitetu. Naglašavaju značaj principa pravedneraspodele kao osnovnog postulata koji doprinosi stabilnom i uravnoteženomekonomskom i socijalnom razvoju svih članovazajednice i društva u celini. Islam uprvi plan stavlja preduzetništvo i motivaciju za ostvarenje profita jer temeljni postulatje da deveta desetina sredstava za život leži u poslovanju.Ono što zbunjuje mnogeautore je Božiji zahtev (postizanje božijeg zadovoljstva), a to je pošteno sticanjeprofita i pravedna raspodela.Takođe, Islamski pristup ekonomskom razvoju ima sveveći uticaj na definisanje razvojnih strategija Islamskih zemalja.
