Two herbicides namely Vichete 5G (12.5, 25.0, 50.0 kg/ha) and Rifit 500 EC (0.5, 1.0 L/ ha) were applied in BRRI Dhan 28 in the field to follow their effects on the occurrence and phytosociological attributes of weeds. A total of 29 weed species belonging to 22 genera covering 10 families was found to occur. 28 weed species under 21 genera and 9 families, 16 weed species under 14 genera and 6 families and 26 weed species under 21 genera and 10 families were assessed during 1st, 2nd and 3rd weedings respectively. 12 Species ( Eragrostis unioloides, Marsilea quadrifolia, Cyperus tenuispica, Murdania nudiflora, Fimbristylis miliacea, Rotala densiflora, Cyperus iria, Setaria pumilla, Fimbristylis diphylla, Leptochloe chinensis, Monochoria hastata and Oryza rufipogon) were recorded in first weeding but not found in second weeding. Cyperus rotundus, Panicum paludosum, Cyperus difformis, Marsilea quadrifolia and Echinocholoa crussgalli were found to be present at control only. They were controlled by the use of both herbicides. However, the number of weed species was found to reduce in the 2nd weeding in comparison to 1st one in all the treatments. Between the two weedicides, 50.0 kg/ha of Vichete 5G was relatively better than other doses of Vichete 5G and Rifit 500 EC and more effective to control weed species in 1st and 2nd weedings. In first weeding phytosociological attributes were highest in Schoenoplectus erectus and lowest in Rotala densiflora . In second weeding phytosociological attributes were highest in Eleocharis congesta and lowest in Panicum paludosum and Lindernia hyssopiodes while phytosociological attributes were highest in Fimbristylis miliacea and lowest in Marsilea quadrifolia of third weeding.

Authors: ULU Yavuz Sinan
Published: March 2020

Tarih, bir milleti millet yapan en önemli ortak paydalardan biridir. Güçlü bir mazi, millet olduğunu kendi üyelerine ve diğer milletlere ispatlama yolunda en güçlü referanstır. Maraş savunması, Türk tarihinin en unutulmaz ve etkileyici hadiselerinden biridir. Maddi yokluk içindeki Türklerin, dönemin bütün teknik imkânlarıyla donatılmış Fransız güçlerine karşı verdiği bu bağımsızlık mücadelesi ve kazanılan zafer yalnız Türk tarihinde değil, edebiyatta da kendine yer bulur. Mehmet Uluğtürkan’ın 2017 yılında yayımlanan Madalyasız romanı, Millî Mücadele yıllarında Maraş’ın işgalini ve kurtuluşunu anlatan Türk edebiyatındaki az sayıda romandan biridir. Mehmet Ağa’nın, oğlu ve yüz on sekiz askeriyle Darende’den Maraş’a doğru yola çıkışıyla başlayan roman; vatanseverlik, kahramanlık ve millî kimlik temaları merkezinde şekillenir. Romanda vatanın; millî bilince sahip, cesur, cömert, fedakâr, iradeli ve yardımsever bireylerle var olabileceği vurgulanır.Bu çalışmada Mehmet Uluğtürkan’ın Madalyasız romanı, roman teorisi bağlamında “yapı” ve “izleksel kurgu” ana başlıkları altında incelenerek tarihî gerçeklerin romanın kurgusal dünyasında nasıl işlendiği ve Maraş’ın “kahramanlaşma” sürecinin romana yansıması irdelenecektir.

Trends in Scientific Literature on Energy Return Ratio of Renewable Energy Sources for Supporting Policymakers
Authors: Rana Roberto Leonardo , Lombardi Mariarosaria , Giungato Pasquale , Tricase Caterina
Published: March 2020

The scarcity of fossil fuels and their environmental impact as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, have prompted governments around the world to both develop research and foster the use of renewable energy sources (RES), such as biomass, wind, and solar. Therefore, although these efforts represent potential solutions for fossil fuel shortages and GHG emission reduction, some doubts have emerged recently regarding their energy efficiency. Indeed, it is very useful to assess their energy gain, which means quantifying and comparing the amount of energy consumed to produce alternative fuels. In this context, the aim of this paper is to analyze the trend of the academic literature of studies concerning the indices of the energy return ratio (ERR), such as energy return on energy invested (EROEI), considering biomass, wind and solar energy. This could be useful for institutions and to public organizations in order to redefine their political vision for realizing sustainable socio-economic systems in line with the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energies. Results showed that biomass seems to be more expensive and less efficient than the equivalent fossil-based energy, whereas solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy have reached mature and advanced levels of technology.
Local Government Website Accessibility—Evidence from Poland
Authors: Król Karol , Zdonek Dariusz
Published: March 2020

The paper investigates the accessibility of local government websites. It focuses in particular on disability, e-administration, and web accessibility standards for the visually impaired. The research involved 182 websites of local government bodies of the Małopolskie Voivodeship (Poland). It employed selected automated testing applications. The occurrence of selected accessibility tools on the websites was verified with a cognitive walkthrough. A questionnaire survey was conducted as well. Results of the automatic measurements were standardized using the unitarization method. The effort yielded an aggregate final score for each website in the form of the AAR (Aggregate Accessibility Rating). It was used to build a ranking list of the websites and order them by the accessibility criterion. The websites achieved 57.23% of the available AAR points in total. This indicates there is a great opportunity for improvement in the accessibility of the investigated websites (in the employed research design). Moreover, municipalities were found to be heavily committed to the questionnaire survey, which is indicative of the importance and relevance of the problem of accessibility and quality of public websites.

The number of plants, or planting density, is a key factor in corn crop yield. The objective of the present research work was to count corn plants using images obtained by sensors mounted on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). An experiment was set up with five levels of nitrogen fertilization (140, 200, 260, 320 and 380 kg/ha) and four replicates, resulting in 20 experimental plots. The images were taken at 23, 44 and 65 days after sowing (DAS) at a flight altitude of 30 m, using two drones equipped with RGB sensors of 12, 16 and 20 megapixels (Canon PowerShot S100_5.2, Sequoia_4.9, DJI FC6310_8.8). Counting was done through normalized cross-correlation (NCC) for four, eight and twelve plant samples or templates in the a* channel of the CIELAB color space because it represented the green color that allowed plant segmentation. A mean precision of 99% was obtained for a pixel size of 0.49 cm, with a mean error of 2.2% and a determination coefficient of 0.90 at 44 DAS. Precision values above 91% were obtained at 23 and 44 DAS, with a mean error between plants counted digitally and visually of ±5.4%. Increasing the number of samples or templates in the correlation estimation improved the counting precision. Good precision was achieved in the first growth stages of the crop when the plants do not overlap and there are no weeds. Using sensors and unmanned aerial vehicles, it is possible to determine the emergence of seedlings in the field and more precisely evaluate planting density, having more accurate information for better management of corn fields.
21st Century Projections of Extreme Precipitation Indicators for Cyprus
Authors: Zittis George , Bruggeman Adriana , Camera Corrado
Published: March 2020

According to observational and model-based studies, the eastern Mediterranean region is one of the most prominent climate-change hotspots in the world. The combined effect of warming and drying is expected to augment the regional impacts of global warming. In addition to changes in mean climatic conditions, global warming is likely to induce changes in several aspects of extreme rainfall such as duration and magnitude. In this context, we explore the impact of climate change on precipitation with the use of several indicators. We focus on Cyprus, a water-stressed island located in the eastern Mediterranean Basin. Our results are derived from a new high-resolution simulation for the 21st century, which is driven by a “business-as-usual” scenario. In addition to a strong temperature increase (up to 4.1 °C), our analysis highlights that, on average for the island, most extreme precipitation indicators decrease, suggesting a transition to much drier conditions. The absolute daily rainfall maxima exhibit strong local variability, indicating the need for high resolution simulations to understand the potential impacts on future flooding.

Malaria is one of the most cited vector-borne infectious diseases by climate change expert panels. Malaria vectors often need water sheets or wetlands to complete the disease life cycle. The current context of population mobility and global change requires detailed monitoring and surveillance of malaria in all countries. This study analysed the spatiotemporal distribution of death and illness cases caused by autochthonous and imported malaria in Spain during the 20th and 21st centuries using multidisciplinary sources, Geographic Information System (GIS) and geovisualisation. The results obtained reveal that, in the 20th and 21st centuries, malaria has not had a homogeneous spatial distribution. Between 1916 and 1930, 77% of deaths from autochthonous malaria were concentrated in only 20% of Spanish provinces; in 1932, 88% of patients treated in anti-malarial dispensaries were concentrated in these same provinces. These last data reveal the huge potential that anti-malarial dispensaries could have as a tool to reconstruct historical epidemiology. Spanish autochthonous malaria has presented epidemic upsurge episodes, especially those of 1917–1922 and 1939–1944, influenced by armed conflict, population movement and damaged health and hygiene conditions. Although meteorological variables have not played a key role in these epidemic episodes, they contributed by providing suitable conditions for their intensification. After the eradication of autochthonous malaria in 1961, imported malaria cases began to be detected in 1973, reaching more than 700 cases per year at the end of the second decade of the 21st century. Therefore, consistent and detailed historical studies are necessary to better understand the drivers that have led to the decline and elimination of malaria in Europe and other temperate countries.

Sparkle and graininess are textural effects that appear as intrinsic spatial features of coatings containing goniochromatic pigments, whereas others such as mottling are undesired outcomes. In this study, we present new methods for the evaluation of sparkle, graininess and mottling of automotive coatings through images acquired with a novel gonio-hyperspectral imaging system based on light-emitting diodes with extended spectral sensitivity beyond the visible range (368–1309 nm). A novel analysis of sparkle that considered the amount of sparkling spots was used. Graininess was quantified through a novel statistical descriptor based on the energy descriptor computed from the histogram. A new index was proposed for an enhanced detection of mottling based on the analysis of striping, which was better observed and quantified in the infrared range. Spectral assessments showed a strong relationship with color and spectral reflectance for graininess and mottling. In conclusion, the results showed that these new spatial and spectral methods are a suitable, alternative and potential approach for the assessment of these textural features.

The designing of multifunctional materials in system-level efficiency is one of the main targets and a hot topic for the application of novel green or bio-based materials and structures. In this work, the chemical structure of bio-based cardanol that was derived from cashew oil was modified through a reaction with a bishydrazino-s-triazine derivative followed by condensation polymerization or reaction with terephthaldehyde to obtain a Schiff base polymer. The chemical structures of the modified cardanol-bishydrazino-s-triazine-based monomer and the Schiff base polymer were confirmed from FTIR and NMR spectroscopy analyses. The modified cardanol bishydrazino-s-triazine monomer and polymer were added with different weight ratios during the curing of the epoxy/polyamine hardener to improve the thermal, mechanical, and anti-corrosion characteristics of the epoxy coating of a steel substrate. The data elucidated that the presence of a cardanol bishydrazino-s-triazine monomer and polymer improves the thermal, mechanical, adhesion, and anti-corrosion characteristics of epoxy coatings after exposure for more than 1500 h. The presence of a cardanol- bishydrazino-s-triazine polymer more than 3 wt.% during the curing of epoxy networks produces superhydrophobic and self-healing epoxy coatings. The modification of the epoxy coating with the cardanol bishydrazino-s-triazine polymer improves the seawater contact angle by more than 150° and the adhesion strength of the epoxy coating with the steel surface.
A Low-Cost Electrochemical Metal 3D Printer Based on a Microfluidic System for Printing Mesoscale Objects

For the additive manufacturing (AM) of metal objects, the powder-based fusion (PBF) method is routinely utilized to fabricate macroscale parts. On the other hand, electrochemical additive manufacturing (ECAM), in which metallic structures are deposited through the electrochemical reduction of metal ions, is a promising technique for producing micro- and nanoscale objects. However, a gap exists in terms of fabricating mesoscale objects within the current AM techniques. The PBF method is limited by fabrication precision due to pronounced residual stresses, and most current ECAM systems are difficult to scale up to print mesoscale objects. In the present paper, the novel design of a low-cost ECAM 3D printer based on a microfluidic system is proposed for fabricating mesoscale metal parts. The meniscus-guided electrodeposition approach is utilized, in which a meniscus is formed between the print head and substrate, and electrodeposition is confined within the meniscus. A 3D object is fabricated by the meniscus moving with the print head according to the programmed pattern and the material subsequently being deposited at the designated locations. The key to the proposed design is to maintain a mesoscale meniscus, which normally cannot be sustained by the electrolyte surface tension with a print nozzle having a mesoscale diameter. Therefore, a microfluidic system, called the fountain pen feed system, constituting a semi-open main channel and comb structure, was designed to maintain a mesoscale meniscus throughout the printing process. Two materials, copper and nickel, with various geometric shapes were attempted to print by the proposed ECAM system, and, during the printing process, both fluid leaking and meniscus breaking were completely prevented. Free standing tilted copper pillars with controlled angles were printed to show the ability of the proposed design in fabricating 3D structures. A copper circuit was also printed on a non-conductive substrate to demonstrate a possible application of the proposed ECAM system in the fabrication of functional electronics.

Published: March 2020

Risk diversification is an important topic for portfolio managers. Various portfolio optimization algorithms have been developed to minimize portfolio risk under certain constraints. As an extension of the complex risk diversification portfolio proposed by Uchiyama, Kadoya, and Nakagawa in January 2019 (Yusuke et al. Entropy. 2019, 21, 119.), we propose a risk diversification portfolio construction method which incorporates quaternion risk. We show that the proposed method outperforms the conventional complex risk diversification portfolio method.
Constraining LQG Graph with Light Surfaces: Properties of BH Thermodynamics for Mini-Super-Space, Semi-Classical Polymeric BH
Authors: Pugliese Daniela , Montani Giovanni
Published: March 2020

This work participates in the research for potential areas of observational evidence of quantum effects on geometry in a black hole astrophysical context. We consider properties of a family of loop quantum corrected regular black hole (BHs) solutions and their horizons, focusing on the geometry symmetries. We study here a recently developed model, where the geometry is determined by a metric quantum modification outside the horizon. This is a regular static spherical solution of mini-super-space BH metric with Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) corrections. The solutions are characterized delineating certain polymeric functions on the basis of the properties of the horizons and the emergence of a singularity in the limiting case of the Schwarzschild geometry. We discuss particular metric solutions on the base of the parameters of the polymeric model related to similar properties of structures, the metric Killing bundles (or metric bundles MBs), related to the BH horizons’ properties. A comparison with the Reissner–Norström geometry and the Kerr geometry with which analogies exist from the point of their respective MBs properties is done. The analysis provides a way to recognize these geometries and detect their main distinctive phenomenological evidence of LQG origin on the basis of the detection of stationary/static observers and the properties of light-like orbits within the analysis of the (conformal invariant) MBs related to the (local) causal structure. This approach could be applied in other quantum corrected BH solutions, constraining the characteristics of the underlining LQG-graph, as the minimal loop area, through the analysis of the null-like orbits and photons detection. The study of light surfaces associated with a diversified and wide range of BH phenomenology and grounding MBs definition provides a channel to search for possible astrophysical evidence. The main BHs thermodynamic characteristics are studied as luminosity, surface gravity, and temperature. Ultimately, the application of this method to this spherically symmetric approximate solution provides us with a way to clarify some formal aspects of MBs, in the presence of static, spherical symmetric spacetimes.
Comparison of Alternative Pulpwood Inventory Strategies and Machine Systems at a Log-Yard Using Simulations

The rising throughput of log-yards imposes new constraints on existing equipment and increases the complexity of delivering an optimal and uninterrupted supply of pulpwood to pulp mills. To find ways of addressing these problems by reducing log cycle times, this work uses a discrete-event mathematics model to simulate operations at a log-yard and study the impact of three different log-yard inventory strategies and two alternative machine systems for log transportation between main log-yard and buffer storage. The yard’s existing inventory strategy of last load in and first out limits access to older logs at the main storage site. By allocating space for 89,000 m3 and 99,000 m3 of pulpwood at the buffer storage it is possible to keep the log cycle time at the main storage to a maximum of 12 and 6 months. Additionally, the use of an alternative log transportation machine system comprising a material handler with a trailer increased the work time capacity utilization relative to the yard’s current machine system of two shuttle trucks and a material handler for transporting logs between the main and buffer storage areas. Compared to the currently-used last in first out inventory strategy and purposely emptying the main storage area once or twice per year did reduce the total work time of both machine systems by 14% and 30%. Consequently, the volume delivered from the buffer to the log-yard decreased on average by 17% and 37% when emptying the main storage area once and twice per year. Even with reduced work time when emptying the main storage area, both machine systems could fulfil given work load for transporting logs from the buffer storage to the main log-yard without interrupting operations of the log-yard.

This study aims to estimate the total biomass aboveground and soil carbon stocks in a Mediterranean riparian forest and identify the contribution of the different species and ecosystem compartments to the overall riparian carbon reservoir. We used a combined field and object-based image analysis (OBIA) approach, based on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) multispectral imagery, to assess C stock of three dominant riparian species. A linear discriminator was designed, based on a set of spectral variables previously selected in an optimal way, permitting the classification of the species corresponding to every object in the study area. This made it possible to estimate the area occupied by each species and its contribution to the tree aboveground biomass (AGB). Three uncertainty levels were considered, related to the trade-off between the number of unclassified and misclassified objects, leading to an error control associated with the estimated tree AGB. We found that riparian woodlands dominated by Acacia dealbata Link showed the highest average carbon stock per unit area (251 ± 90 tC ha−1) followed by Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertner (162 ± 12 tC ha−1) and by Salix salviifolia Brot. (73 ± 17 tC ha−1), which are mainly related to the stem density, vegetation development and successional stage of the different stands. The woody tree compartment showed the highest inputs (79%), followed by the understory vegetation (12%) and lastly by the soil mineral layer (9%). Spectral vegetation indices developed to suppress saturation effects were consistently selected as important variables for species classification. The total tree AGB in the study area varies from 734 to 1053 tC according to the distinct levels of uncertainty. This study provided the foundations for the assessment of the riparian carbon sequestration and the economic value of the carbon stocks provided by similar Mediterranean riparian forests, a highly relevant ecosystem service for the regulation of climate change effects.
