Eucalyptus dunnii clonal strategy implementation in Montes del Plata
Authors: Heberling Mónica , Bolocchi Claudio , Ramírez Mauricio
Published: November 2023

One of the main goals of a tree breeding program is to increase forest productivity, adaptation and profitability of forest plantations. Eucalyptus dunnii is a main species used for pulp production in Uruguay. Montes del Plata (MdP) is one of the largest forest companies in Uruguay and has been focused on the development, testing and deployment of E. dunnii clones to establish company plantations in Uruguay. On this presentation, the MdP ongoing clonal strategy for E. dunnii is presented. MdP clonal strategy starts with the generation, testing and selection of families in progeny tests (Open-pollination and Control-pollination) with a breeding population with a wide genetic diversity in order to have a sustainable clonal program. Seeds from the best families are used for clonal development in a two-phase strategy. In the first phase all potential clones are screened for rooting, in the company research nursery, and only the ones that root more than 60% go to the next phase, which is to produce plants for the establishment of clonal trials in field and, based on the performance, to select the candidate clones for deployment. On average, 4,000 clones|year are evaluated in the first phase, from which 200 go to clonal field trials every year. The strategy also includes a protocol for other traits assessment, like tree form, health and wood properties; the selection trait being tons of cellulose per tree (ADt). Wood properties are evaluated at early age using a company near infrared model (NIR). Then, values of predicted wood properties are projected to rotation age. This presentation will be complemented with extra information related to the different strategy phases in several posters. The MdP clonal strategy is a rolling front strategy, where clones from the best families are tested and selected for deployment and breeding to have continuous gain over time for E. dunnii.

Authors: Siska Ernawati Fatimah
Published: November 2023

The mini market business represents the modernization of traditional markets. However, with the enactment of Presidential Regulation No. 44/2016, which permits foreign retailers to open stores in Indonesia, foreign retailers have gained confidence in penetrating both major city malls and even trying their hand in smaller towns. The research aims to assess the quality of service and the trust associated with satisfaction using the Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) method. The population consists of all consumers in various mini markets in the city of Cirebon. The sampling technique utilized is random sampling. Data collection is done through questionnaires, and data analysis employs multiple regression analysis and the IPA method. The research results, based on multiple regression analysis, demonstrate a positive and significant influence between the variables of service quality and trust on customer satisfaction. Meanwhile, based on the IPA method, the average level of conformity reveals that satisfaction is at 90%. Therefore, it is apparent that 21 indicators are distributed across Quadrants A, B, C, and D, signifying a conformity in service quality and trust toward customer satisfaction.

Blogery Takie Blogery (Bloggers Are Such Bloggers), Or about a New Phraseoscheme in Russian
Authors: Maryanchik Viсtoria A.
Published: November 2023

The article is devoted to a comparatively new structure in the language ‘N1 takie N1’ (N1 such N1), actively used in Internet communication. The study is based on the material from the General Internet Corpus of the Russian language. The structure is used mainly in blogs, in hashtags, in community names, that is, in Internet communication, which has a tendency to be excessively expressive and to save language resources. The article discusses structural properties of the phrase, the meaning of its permanent component ‘such’, the synonymy with other tautological constructions, semantics and frequency of nouns in position N1 and semantic and pragmatic features of the construction. The structure is defined as a new psvedvotautological phraseoscheme characterized by reproducibility, idiomaticity and evaluativeness. The phraseoscheme attributes typical, expected features to the subject. The connotative potential of the lexeme (of the noun) is the basis of the evaluative meaning of the structure. It is the connotative meaning of the noun, and not its lexical and grammatical category, that affects the possibility of its using in this phraseoscheme. The specificity of the pragmatic meaning of the phraseoscheme is associated with the subject of evaluation, which forms the tone of the expression (affectionateness, jokiness, irony and mixed shades, for example, tenderness) and the communicative structure of the expression, appropriating the ‘right’ to be evaluated and taking a position of a more significant communicant.
Quoting as a Reflection Technique in K. D. Vorobyov's Novella “Here Comes the Giant…”
Authors: Mar'ina Ol'ga V.
Published: November 2023

The article analyzes full and transformed quotations, which act as a means of reflecting on the subject of a speaker, indicate his state depending on the situation and interaction with communication partners. When reproducing the original texts in K. Vorobyov's story “Here comes the giant ...”, the following parameters are taken into account: the situation (prepared / unprepared), the state of the speaking subject – the narrator (permanent / temporary / spontaneous; emotional / unemotional), speech environment (official / unofficial). It is established that the analyzed text contains a wide range of quotations, where allusions and reminiscences predominate. So, appearing in the speech of the hero-narrator, they convey his attitude towards others, situations in general and describe his state. It is noted that there are several authors (L. Andreev, A. Blok, S. Yesenin, E. Hemingway) and source texts (“The ingenious hidalgo Don Quixote of La Mancha”, etc.), which cause a ‘special disposition’ of the speaker's subject - their use due to his attitude and understanding of himself in the world. At the same time, the creative nature of the hero – the writer – does not allow him to stop, he is in constant search of himself, future plots and changes his “masks”, which causes the appearance of various citation inclusions.

The disposal of tannery solid waste (TSW) and the need for clean and affordable energy are two pressing issues. Converting TSW into briquettes could be a solution to both problems. This paper focuses on preparing and characterizing fuel briquettes from TSW using a wastepaper as a binder. Raw TSW samples were obtained from the nearby leather industry, sun-dried, treated, carbonized, and reduced to a size of less than 2 mm. The carbonized TSW was mixed with a wastepaper binder (WPB) in different combinations (100:0, 80:20, 60:40, 40:60, 20:80) and converted into briquettes using a hand-press briquette machine. Five briquettes were produced, and sun-dried for one week. The proximate analyses and calorific values of the resulting briquettes were determined in accordance with ASTM analytical methods. The briquettes had a moisture content of 1.30±0.01–5.30±0.10%, volatile matter of 4.01±0.09–10.21±0.18%, ash of 2.80±0.04–5.50±0.13%, fixed carbon of 79.00±0.54–91.90±0.36%, and calorific value of 20.48±0.08–21.09±0.04 MJ/kg. Results showed that a briquette comprised of 80% TSW and 20% WPB has a higher calorific value of 21.09±0.04 MJ/kg. This study demonstrates the feasibility of producing affordable and clean briquettes from an admixture of TSW and WPB. It also shows that briquette production can help reduce solid waste disposal in the tannery industry.

Background: The agrammatic variant of primary progressive aphasia (PAA), primary progressive apraxia of speech (PPAOS), or a combination of both (AOS-PAA) are neurodegenerative disorders characterized by speech-language impairments and together compose the AOS-PAA spectrum disorders. These patients typically have an underlying 4-repeat tauopathy, although they sometimes show evidence of amyloid-β and tau deposition on PET, suggesting Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Given the growing number of pharmacologic treatment options for AD, it is important to better understand the incidence of AD pathology in these patients. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the frequency of amyloid-β and tau positivity in AOS-PAA spectrum disorders. Sixty-five patients with AOS-PAA underwent a clinical speech-language battery and PiB PET and flortaucipir PET imaging. Methods: Global PiB PET standardized uptake value ratios (SUVRs) and flortaucipir PET SUVRs from the temporal meta region of interest were compared between patient groups. For 19 patients who had died and undergone autopsy, their PET and pathology findings were also compared. Results: The results showed that although roughly half of the patients are positive for at least one biomarker, their clinical symptoms and biomarker status were not related, suggesting that AD is not the primary cause of their neurodegeneration. All but one patient in the autopsy subset had a Braak stage of IV or less, despite four being positive on tau PET imaging. Conclusions: Inclusion criteria for clinical trials should specify clinical presentation or adjust the evaluation of such treatments to be specific to disease diagnosis beyond the presence of certain imaging biomarkers.
Assessing genetic diversity of berberis genotypes selected from an F1 population using molecular markers
Authors: Safari Amir , Rezaei Mehdi
Published: November 2023

Barberries are versatile shrubs with diverse applications, including ornamental, medicinal, and edible purposes. In this study, we employed molecular markers to assess the genetic diversity and genetic base of superior barberry genotypes selected from an F1 population obtained through Shahrood University Barberry Breeding Program (SUBBP), alongside their parents. We utilized nine ISSR markers and 10 RAPD markers to analyze the population’s genetic diversity. From these markers, we obtained 98 polymorphic bands using ISSR markers and 112 polymorphic bands using RAPD markers. The average PIC value was 0.16 for ISSR markers and RAPD markers, while the average genetic resolution power was 3.93 for ISSR markers and 2.11 for RAPD markers. Furthermore, we calculated the genetic dissimilarity coefficient (GDC) based on ISSR and RAPD markers, which ranged from 0.23 to 0.86 (average 0.62) and 0.21 to 0.85 (average 0.60), respectively. The ISSR data analysis classified the genotypes into three main clusters, with genotypes 0515, R5N1, ‘Bth’, ‘Seedless (BD)’, and R2N1 being genetically distant from the others. Similarly, the analysis of 10 RAPD primers resulted in the classification of genotypes into three main groups. Notably, genotype 0609 exhibited greater genetic distance from other genotypes in this subgroup. The Principal Coordinates Analysis (PCoA) using both ISSR and RAPD marker data further supported the grouping of genotypes into three distinct clusters. These results provide valuable insights into the genetic composition of the F1 population and contribute to the advancement of barberry breeding strategies.
Understanding and supporting intermediation work to address territorialized public policy issues: The case of a Territorial Food Project in France
Authors: Cerf Marianne , Le Bail Chloé , Boccara Vincent , Loyce Chantal
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND: Few ergonomics studies have explored the work required to implement territorialized public policies. OBJECTIVE: To identify key challenges for ergonomists who analyse and support intermediation work taking place in the design and implementation of a Territorial Food Project or TFP (a public policy device). METHODS: We adapted a framework developed in the field of political sociology. The analysis focuses on two scales to identify key characteristics of intermediation work: the agri-urban area as delimited and targeted by the TFP; and the farm and its relationships to food systems. To capture how intermediation work articulates prescription and action, we studied first the work carried out by the actors to use a public policy device such as TFP, and second the evolving farming work systems’ connections to food systems and how they are supported by various actors. RESULTS: Intermediation work is spread across a wide diversity of actors. Coordination at governance level aims to allocate resources among institutional actors and to check the progress of the elaborated action plan. Coordination at operational level, which is meant to support farming work system dynamics or to implement the action plan, focuses on fostering the emergence of initiatives but seems to lack a shared vision and time availability. CONCLUSION: We identify two main challenges: to further develop a framework for analysing the intermediation work occurring in a multi-scale and territorial perspective; and to develop new intervention methods so that ergonomists can take part in and support such intermediation work.

BACKGROUND: Numerous systems for detecting driver drowsiness have been developed; however, these systems have not yet been widely used in real-time. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate at the feasibility of detecting alert and drowsy states in drivers using an integration of features from respiratory signals, vehicle lateral position, and reaction time and out-of-vehicle ways of data collection in order to improve the system’s performance and applicability in the real world. METHODS: Data was collected from 25 healthy volunteers in a driving simulator-based study. Their respiratory activity was recorded using a wearable belt and their reaction time and vehicle lateral position were measured using tests developed on the driving simulator. To induce drowsiness, a monotonous driving environment was used. Different time domain features have been extracted from respiratory signals and combined with the reaction time and lateral position of the vehicle for modeling. The observer of rating drowsiness (ORD) scale was used to label the driver’s actual states. The t-tests and Man-Whitney test was used to select only statistically significant features (p < 0.05), that can differentiate between the alert and drowsy states effectively. Significant features then combined to investigate the improvement in performance using the Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), the Support Vector Machines (SVMs), the Decision Trees (DTs), and the Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) classifiers. The models were implemented in Python library 3.6. RESULTS: The experimental results illustrate that the support vector machine classifier achieved accuracy of 88%, precision of 85%, recall of 83%, and F1 score of 84% using selected features. CONCLUSION: These results indicate the possibility of very accurate detection of driver drowsiness and a viable solution for a practical driver drowsiness system based on combined measurement using less-intrusive and out-of-vehicle recording methods.

Wacana pemikiran berangkat dari realitas para penegak hukum (khususnya hakim) yang mengabaikan nilai-nilai moralitas. Meskipun para pelaku profesional (hakim) sudah memilki kode etik profesi sebagai standar moral, ternyata belum memberikan dampak yang positif terutama belum bisa merubah image negatif masyarakat terhadap wajah. Salah satu jalan untuk menegakkan supremasi hukum adalah dengan cara menegakkan etika, profesionalisme, dan disiplin. Kode etik profesi hakim pada prinsipnya mengandung nilai-nilai moral yang mendasari kepribadian secara profesional, yaitu kebebasan, keadilan dan kejujuran.

Ресторанний бізнес в сучасних умовах господарювання характеризується високим рівнем насиченості та конкуренції, що вимагає від його власників пошуку нових засобів забезпечення та підтримки конкурентних позицій на ринку. Все більшої популярності набуває використання франчайзингу як форми ведення ресторанного бізнесу. Реалізація франчайзингових відносин має свої переваги та недоліки, проте інтенсивність його впровадження у різних сферах підприємництва свідчить про його доцільність та ефективність. У даній статті нами розглядається реалізація франчайзингових відносин крізь призму інвестиційного проекту щодо відкриття та розвитку закладу ресторанного господарства, оскільки купуючи франшизу франчайзі виступає інвестором даного бізнесового проекту. Особливої актуальності набувають питання щодо методичних підходів оцінки ефективності реалізації франчайзингового інвестиційного проекту. Метою написання даної статті є вивчення та узагальнення існуючих методичних підходів щодо оцінки ефективності реалізації франчайзингу в ресторанному бізнесі. При написанні даного дослідження опрацьовано наукові праці вітчизняних та закордонних дослідників, особливу увагу приділяючи методичним аспектам оцінки ефективності ведення та реалізації франчайзингу в сфері ресторанного бізнесу. На основі проведеного узагальнення існуючих методичних підходів нами виділено основні прийоми, що застосовуються для оцінки прийнятності (доцільності) вкладення коштів. Встановлено, що в умовах мінливого зовнішнього середовища найбільш доцільним, окрім оцінки основних фінансово-економічних показників ефективності, є застосування прийомів, що грунтуються на дисконтованих оцінках. Також нами визначено, що більшість вчених пропонують застосовувати інтегральний підхід щодо визначення ефективності інвестиційних проектів реалізації франчайзингового бізнесу. Даний підхід враховує всі переваги та недоліки існуючих методик оцінки ефективності проектів, а також дозволяє враховувати вплив сфери та специфіки господарської діяльності реалізації франчайзингових відносин.
ТЕОРЕТИКО-МЕТОДОЛОГІЧНІ ЗАСАДИ КОНТРАКТНОГО УПРАВЛІННЯ ГОТЕЛЬНИМИ МЕРЕЖАМИ
Authors: Чепурда Лариса , Луцький Ігор
Published: November 2023

Мета статті полягає в аналізі підходів до класифікації готельних мереж, що існують на вітчизняному та міжнародному ринках. Наведено визначення поняття «готельна мережа» різних відомих науковців. Усі ці визначення є схожими між собою, але деякі з них відрізняються окремими аспектами. Проаналізовано, які аспекти є спільними в цих визначеннях та які є ключовими, виходячи з цього в роботі систематизовано основні ознаки (критерії) та елементи, що характеризують готельні мережі. Окрему увагу приділено тим авторам, що розробили максимально повну характеристику цього питання. В публікації зазначено перелік цілей, що ставлять перед собою готельні мережі. Проведено поділ факторів, що впливають на стан та розвиток готельних мереж на дві групи та надано характеристику для кожної групи. Систематизовано показники макро- та мікросередовища підприємства, що стосується його економічного середовища. В свою чергу економічне середовище також було поділено на дві окремі категорії: макро- та мікросередовище. Визначено фактори прямої та непрямої дії, що впливають на готельне підприємство. Деталізовано основні тенденції розвитку готельних мереж. Визначено поняття «контракт». Систематизовано види контрактів, що постійно використовуються в сучасному житті. В публікації надано короткі історичні відомості про те, як виникло контрактне управління готельними мережами в світі. Розвиток контрактної форми господарювання сприяв підвищенню ефективності управління готелем, а також надходженню в готельне господарство інвестицій з інших сфер діяльності – банків, страхових компаній тощо. Проаналізовано основні умови, яких мають дотримуватись при укладанні договору. Визначено основні 5 етапів укладення контракту в готельному бізнесі. Контрактне управління є найефективнішим та найбільш результативним видом управління для готельних мереж, поміж з усіх інших що можуть бути. Управління готельною мережею за контрактом має як свої переваги, так і недоліки, що повинні мати на увазі керівники готельних підприємств. Методичним інструментарієм проведеного дослідження стали методи статистичного аналізу, методи формалізації, описові, аналітичні та синтетичні методи. Об’єктом дослідження обрано аналіз теоретико-методологічних засад контрактного управління готельними мережами в Україні та в світі.

У статті розглянуто та проаналізовано стан досліджуваності крафтового виробництва сирів в Україні. Основною метою дослідження є визначити й проаналізувати основні проблеми, з якими стикається сучасне виробництво вітчизняних крафтових сирів, та запропонувати можливі шляхи їх вирішення. Актуальним на сьогоднішній день для розвитку крафтового сировиробництва є питання побудови роботи під час кризи і відновлення після неї. Під час проведення наукового дослідження виробництва крафтових сирів було використано інформативно-аналітичні методи, методи порівняння, узагальнення, синтезу та ін. Теоретичною і методологічною основою даного дослідження стали наукові публікації та праці вітчизняних вчених з питань виробництва сиру. Якісні екологічно чисті продукти завжди цікавлять споживачів, тому крафтові сири стають все більш популярними і затребуваними. До лютого 2022 року число виробників крафт-сиру в Україні зростало щорічно, що свідчить про перспективність цього напряму виробництва. Внаслідок військових дій за останній рік значна кількість виробників припинили свою діяльність, але ті, хто залишився на ринку, успішно розвиваються, що також характеризує крафтове виробництво сирів як прибутковий бізнес. Стаття містить інформацію про цінову політику найбільш успішних сироварів, вимоги до якості сировини та умов виробництва, характеристику обладнання для сироваріння. Cтаття узагальнює міркування щодо питання перспективного розвитку сирних ресторанів при крафтярнях та мінівиробництву сиру у ресторанах, як додатковому сегменту ринку збуту: розроблено модель взаємодії між виробниками екологічно чистого крафтового сиру та закладами ресторанного господарства. Зроблено висновок, що підтримка малого бізнесу – досить важлива, навіть через те, що мінівиробництва підтримують багато інших сфер діяльності. Подальші наукові дослідження виробництва крафтових сирів допоможуть вивести ресторанний бізнес на новий рівень розвитку. Результати дослідження можуть бути корисними для працівників сфери ресторанного бізнесу, науковців, викладачів і студентів спеціальності «Готельно-ресторанна справа» та «Технології харчування (в ресторанному господарстві)»
ПАКУВАННЯ ПАСТЕРИЗОВАНОГО МОЛОКА ЯК ЕЛЕМЕНТ ЗАБЕЗПЕЧЕННЯ ЙОГО ЯКОСТІ
Authors: Сеник Юрій
Published: November 2023

На сучасному етапі розвитку харчової промисловості захисна функція пакування для максимального збереження якості продукту все менше є пріоритетною для виробників. Тепер, на передній план виходить маркетингова складова передача інформації споживачам для збільшення продажів продукту. Це пов'язано з тим фактом, що під час процесу купівлі споживач спочатку аналізує та оцінює зовнішній вигляд упаковки продукту, а лише потім ознайомлюється з інформацією, яка там винесена. Пакування продукції має на меті трансляцію певної інформації консьюмеру, яку, умовно, можна розділити на вербальну та візуальну. Не менш цікавими є вплив прозорості споживчої тари на ймовірність придбання цього товару. Такий ефект обумовлений безпосереднім візуальним сприйняттям продукту через упаковку та, відповідно, довіри до нього. З продукції різної номенклатури, представленої на полицях торгівельних закладів видно, що такий елемент «комунікації» з покупцями маркетологи вже успішно використовують, використовуючи повністю прозору упаковку чи лише певні її частини. Метою статті є лабораторне вивчення впливу різного типу освітлення на молоко пастеризоване у різних типах пакування та врахування цих результатів у розробці дизайну пакування та способах комунікації з покупцями. У статті розглянуто теоретичні основи впливу світлових променів та кисню на смак молока пастеризованого. Експериментальну частину перевірки гіпотези впливу УФ-випромінювання на молоко в різному пакуванні розділено на два етапи: на першому етапі проведено оцінку змін показників пероксидації ліпідів та органолептичних показників молока, яке зберігалося у прозорому та білому РЕТ пакуванні, а на другому – у прозорому РЕТ пакуванні та пюрпаці. Проведене дослідження дало поштовх до змінити підходу оцінки якості продукції на прикладі кореляції кількісних показників, отриманих аналітичними методами, та органолептичної оцінки продукції з їх подальшою статистичною обробкою. Використання титрометричного і фотометричного методів для встановлення окремих показників процесу ПОЛ дозволили пояснити отримані дані оцінки флейвору молока. Не менш важливим є статистична обробка результатів органолептичного аналізу, яка дозволила кількісно оцінити результат та сформувати висновок про відмінність продукту відповідно від споживчої тари.
Mapping COVID-19 in Context: Promoting a Proportionate Perspective on the Pandemic
Authors: Rinner Claus
Published: November 2023

The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 took a firm grip on human life in the year 2020. The global spread of the virus and the impacts of the associated disease COVID-19 are being tracked by numerous institutions, experts, and lay people. Thematic maps are widely used to visualize the many available metrics, including case counts, hospitalization rates, and fatalities. Despite coordination efforts at different jurisdictional levels (including global), data collection is partially inconsistent, delayed, or unfocused, and maps may exacerbate the issues of the underlying data. Numerous published maps also conflict with established cartographic guidelines and include design choices that exaggerate the spread of the coronavirus and the threat of COVID-19. This article highlights some of these issues and illustrates alternative representations that keep the pandemic in proportion. The distinction between using maps for data exploration and answering specific questions is examined, and the challenges to mapping the pandemic are related to standards of professional ethics in the GIS field.

An improvisation using the "Pouring Rice on Drum" stem in Ableton Live with various plugins - audio sourced from the RE:SOUNDING project (dongsonarchive.com)

RE:SOUNDING aims to locate, record, digitise, and re-engage with the percussive sounds of the Vietnamese Bronze Age Đông Sơn drum.

Displaced by colonisation and the post-war trade in Southeast Asian antiquities, these drums have the significance of announcing the rain, harvests, fertility, and well-being of local communities as well as instruments of resistance and warfare. Now held in museums and collections throughout the world, this project reimagines how the Đông Sơn drum can conceptually exist beyond the museum display cabinet.

A field experiment was conducted at BINA substations, Rangpur and Magura in 2018-19 to evaluate the different row spacing on the yield and yield contributing characteristics of advance mustard lines RM-03, RM-07, RM-10 along with one check variety BARI sarisha-15 during Rabi season. BARI sarisha-15 was irradiated with 700 Gy Cobalt 60 (60Co) Gamma source and advanced mutant lines M6 generation of mustard mutant (RM-03, RM-07, RM-10) were evaluated along with the check variety BARI sarisha-15 using four different row spacings viz. 20cm, 25cm, 30cm and 35cm. The experiment was laid out in split-split plot design with three replications.  Among the advance lines, RM-03 produced the highest seed yield (1.60 t ha-1) followed by RM-10 (1.50 t ha-1). Among different line spacing, 20cm showed highest seed yield (1.66 t ha-1). The interaction of mutant/variety and location revealed that the yield of RM-10 was the highest (1.54 t ha-1) at Rangpur. The interaction effect of line spacing and location showed that 25cm line spacing produced the maximum seed yield (1.68 t ha-1) in Magura followed by 20 cm (1.64 t ha-1) in Rangpur. The interaction effect of mutant and line spacing showed that mutant line RM-03 at 20 cm produced maximum seed yield (1.68 t ha-1) in Rangpur. The interaction effect of mutant/variety, line spacing and location showed that RM-10 produced the highest seed yield (1.73 t ha-1) at 20cm line spacing in Rangpur followed by RM-07 (1.66 t ha-1) at same spacing.

A field experiment was conducted at Shyamnagar Satkhira during Boro season in two consecutive year 2019-20 and 2020-21 to find out the suitable tillage operation as well proper doses of farmyard manure (FYM) for increasing yield of rice under natural salinity condition. The experiment was laid out in split plot design assigning tillage operations in the main plot and FYM in the sub plot with three replications. Four tillage operations and six doses of FYM were used. Among the treatments, land ploughed at 20 cm depth with five times produced the highest grain yield (6.63 t ha-1) and application of FYM at the rate of 5.0 t ha-1 produced the highest grain yield (5.89 t ha-1) in 2019-20. Land ploughed at 20 cm depth with five times produced the highest grain yield (6.65 t ha-1) where FYM at 5 t ha-1 produced the highest grain yield (6.21 t ha-1) in 2020-21. The effect of tillage 20 cm depth five times and FYM 5.0 t ha-1 produced the highest grain yield (6.84 t ha-1) in both the season 2019-20 and 2020-21. This study showed that tillage operation and application of farmyard manure (FYM) at suitable dose amends the saline soil and increase the yield and yield attributes of Boro rice in saline soil.

Published: November 2023

In Pakistan, Sorghum can be a good domestic source of high-quality fodder and feed, because of its high protein and sugar contents. Location-specific adaptation of lines/varieties as found in the current study evidently implies that location-specific breeding needs are more importance than concentrating on wider adaptability. Another point of consideration is that it is essential to recognize location-specific cultivars over location and multi-year data for their consideration before commercial release for the sake of stability of the cultivar. This is important not only to sorghum only but also in other crops as well. The G × E interaction of six Pakistani experimental sorghum lines produced by Pedigree method and two check cultivars were evaluated for days to 50% flowering, stalk weight, grain yield and Brix value along with their stability and/or adaptability across two locations and two years, under randomized complete block (RCB) design. Three replications were used for each treatment. The combined analyses of variance of all the studied characters showed that they were affected significantly by environments (E), genotypes (G) and genotype by environment interaction (G × E) in every year except for the environment in Brix value. The ideal genotype evaluation proved that YSS-10 was the best line for the all four environments. Dera Gazi Khan is an ideal location for testing grain sorghum genotypes. The ’Which-won-where’ biplots indicated a crossover type of G × E between experimental lines YSS-10 and YSS-18 for the grain yield

Published: November 2023

In this article, five feedback magnetic attitude control algorithms are compared in terms of stabilization accuracy and implementation problems. The control strategies are classic Lyapunov control with scalar gain; the same control strategy with matrix gain and a specific gain-tuning procedure; sliding control with a variable surface; a linear quadratic regulator constructed for a special time-invariant system of a higher degree than the initial time-varying system; and a special controllable trajectory developed using particle swarm optimization. A new sliding surface construction method is proposed in this paper. Surface parameters were changed in every control iteration to ensure that the required control torque component along the geomagnetic induction vector was small. The advantages and drawbacks of the considered methods and their applicability for different target attitudes are discussed.
Maximum-Thrust Nozzle Based on Height Constraints
Authors: Huang Bowen , Xu Jinglei , Yu Kaikai
Published: November 2023

Compared to conventional aircraft, hypersonic aircraft place a greater emphasis on the integration of aircraft and engines to meet their high-performance requirements. The design challenges of the nozzle are evident in the requirement of a significant area ratio between the inlet and outlet, as well as the need for the aircraft to have a compact overall size. In this study, the height constraint is directly incorporated into the maximum-thrust nozzle design method. A new method is proposed for designing nozzles under height constraints, taking into consideration the maximum thrust theory. Initially, a mathematical deduction of the condition in which the nozzle achieves the maximum thrust under the height constraint is performed. The method of characteristics is then used to develop a nozzle design that satisfies the height constraint. Subsequently, the influence of the design parameters on the design method is studied in a parametric manner. The results show that the Mach number scale and asymmetrical factors can affect the length of the nozzle’s ramp and flap, respectively. These factors greatly influence the performance of axial thrust and lift within a specific height constraint. Compared to the traditional truncation design method, the proposed method increases the thrust coefficient by 11.93% and the lift by 138.45%.

The aim of this study was to further describe the oral microbiota of healthy dogs by DNA shotgun sequencing and compare those to dogs with oral tumors. Oral swabs (representative of all niches of the oral cavity) were collected from healthy dogs (n = 24) and from dogs with different oral tumors (n = 7). DNA was extracted from the swabs and shotgun metagenomic sequencing was performed. Only minor differences in microbiota composition were observed between the two groups. At the phylum level, the Bacteroidota, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteriota, Desulfobacterota and Firmicutes were most abundant in both groups. Observed Operational Taxonomic Units—OTUs (species richness) was significantly higher in the healthy patients, but there was no significant difference in the Shannon diversity index between the groups. No significant difference was found in beta diversity between the groups. The core oral microbiota consisted of 67 bacterial species that were identified in all 24 healthy dogs. Our study provides further insight into the composition of the oral microbiota of healthy dogs and in dogs with oral tumors.
