Published: July 2020

Melatonin is the main molecule that transmits the signal of seasonal change to the neuroendocrine system in seasonal breeding species, through specific melatonin receptors, Melatonin Receptor Type 1A. In the present study, a total of 40 local Iraqi non pregnant goats were used to study the relationship betweenPolymorphism of Melatonin Receptor Type 1A (MTNR1A) gene with some reproductive performance. Animals were reared in a farm located inAl-Yusufiya/Baghdad. Animals were divided based on breading season into two groups, with 20 animals each as follows: goats which gave birth in expected breading season (January, Febreuary,and March), and goats which gave birth in unexpected breading season (October, November, and December). All goats were reared in farm in Al-Yusufiya / Baghdad. 20 goats were given birth in January, February and March, which are representingseason, the other 0 goats which were given birth out of the breeding season during October, November and December, both tow groups were used to investigate the reproductive performance in local goats in different breeding months, the number of kids (single or twins), weight and sex of kids were record. Five milliliters of blood were collected from each goats through jugular vein puncture with EDTA coated tubes, until DNA extraction. The main part of exon II of MTNR1A gene was amplified by PCR with used specific primer and then product PCR digested with BsaI restriction enzyme. Therestriction fragment length polymorphism(RFLP) analysis used BsaI restriction enzyme, the presence of the cleavage site produces two fragments, 279 and 577 bp (C allele) while the absence of this site produces only one fragment, 856 bp (A allele).  Suggested the presence of three genotypes the homozygote CC for (279 bp, 577 bp), homozygote AA for (856 bp) and the heterozygote CA for (279 bp, 577 bp, 856 bp). In all the analyzed forty local goats’ genotypic frequency was 35.0% for CC genotype, 52.5% for CA genotype and 12.5 for AA genotype. The allele frequency of C and A was 61.25% and 38.75% respectively which was in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. The allele C have been associated with out of season breeding ability of goats and allele A associated with season breeding from the present study, no relationship between kids weights, sex and type of parturition (single or twin) with the genetic analysis model of MTNR1A gene in local Iraqi goats.

Authors: Abdulaal Nadia Ibrahim
Published: July 2020

The frequency and distribution pattern of Aeromonas hydrophilain cow’s raw milk and soft cheese were investigated in Abu-Ghraib, Al-Fudhaliyah and Al-Sadrya regions in Baghdad. A total of one hundred twenty pooled samples were collected during February until June (2019),in which sixty samples of raw milk pooled from milk containers, twenty from each region (four samples collected monthly per region) and sixty samples of fresh soft cheese made from raw unpasteurized milk were collected from different supermarkets in Baghdad as same as proportion above. Modified procedures for isolation and identification were dependent in which, modified tryptone soya yeast extract sheep blood agar supplemented with ampicillin used. Gram stain and oxidase reaction aid in segregation. Modified Congo red assay used to detect biofilm and Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method was used for determination  sensitivity of isolates toampicillin (AM 10µg),cephalexin (CLX, 30µg), azithromycin (AZM, 15µ) andvancomycin (VA 30µg). The results confirmed recovery of eleventh isolates (9.16 %) from one hundred twenty pooled samples, in which four isolates (3.33 %) from raw milk samples; Two (1.66 %) from Abu-Ghraib and one(0.83 %) from each other regions. Seven isolates (5.83 %) were detected from fresh soft cheese samples in which, three (2.5 %) from Abu-Ghraib and two (1.66 %) from each other regions. All isolates were Gram-negative rod- shaped, oxidase positive and biofilm producers. Four isolates (36.36 %) were resistant to selected antibiotics in which, two (18.18 %) from Abu-Ghraib: One (9.09 %) from raw milk and soft cheese; and one (9.09 %) in each other regions in fresh soft cheese only. In conclusions. Milk and cheese production in Abu-Ghraib, Al-Fudhaliyah and Al-Sadrya regions in Baghdad are encountered by the problems of bacterial contamination and presence of multidrug resist strain of A. hydrophila which considered a risk to public health, may be due both insufficient and misuse treatment with antibiotics or in somewhat due to bad quality and/or poor hygiene of processing involved in milk production. Thus recommended monitoring these products for better hygienic status

Authors: Srivastava Kuldeep
Published: July 2020

Squally winds are the natural hazards and are often associated with the severe thunderstorms (TS), which mostly affects plains of North West India during pre monsoon season (March to May). Squally winds of the order more than 60 kmph are very devastating. Under influence of these strong squally winds trees, electricity poles, advertisement sign boards fall, sometimes human life is also lost. The main objective of this study is to find out the thumb rule based on Doppler Weather Radar (DWR) Data to Nowcast the squally winds over a region. To detect thumb rule, five cases of thunder storm accompanied with squally winds ranging from (55 kmph to 110 kmph) are taken in to consideration. These TS’s occurred over Delhi NCR (National Capital Region) during May - June 2018. Maximum reflectivity (Max Z) data of Delhi DWR, Cloud Top Temperature (CTT) data from INSAT and squally winds along with other weather parameters observed at Safdarjung and Palam observatories are utilized to find out the Thumb Rule. Based on the analysis, it is concluded that presence of a western disturbance (WD), presence of East-West trough from North-west Rajasthan upto East UP through south Haryana and very high temperature of the order of 40 degree Celsius over the nearby area are very conducive for occurrence of squally winds accompanied with thunderstorms. Thumb rule find out in this study is that, squally winds of the order of 55 kmph or more will effect a station if a thunderstorm (having Max Z echo with vertical extension of cell >7 km, reflectivity >45 dBz and at a distance of more than 100 km from the station) moving towards station is present in one to two hour before images of Doppler Weather Radar.

Authors: Xu Yanan , Qin Jianxin , He Pengcheng , Chen Zhuan
Published: July 2020

With the continuous development of remote sensing(RS) technology, the surface information can be collected conveniently and quickly by using the popular unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV). The application of UAV low altitude RS technology in road safety in intelligent area has certain practical significance. It can provide safety warning for most drivers, and provide auxiliary decision-making for the road supervision department. Through the collection, processing, calculation and analysis of the road image, the UAV can find out the road obstacles with potential safety hazards, identify the road pit, calculate the radius and depth of the road pit through the digital mapping system, predict the accident risk according to different speed and provide scientific basis for the road safety monitoring. At the same time, UAV can provide repair scheme for damaged roads, estimate the quantity of materials needed for repair, and achieve the target of resource saving and efficiency improvement. The experimental results show that the UAV can not only provide scientific prediction information for driving safety, but also provide relatively accurate material consump
tion for road repair.

This paper has analyzed the dynamics mechanism of resource enterprises community vulnerability, selected the key factor of resources to establish a nonlinear dynamical model. The model reveals the constrained relation ship between the number of vulnerable enterprises and resource shortage rate, and the same relationship between t vulnerable enterprise numbers
and the owning rate of resource market by the biggest enterprise in resource-type enterprises community of China. The results showed that, the shortage rate of resources take up more percentage than the occupancy of resource rate of the strongest enterprises in Enterprise community when D>q. the characteristics and patterns of the Chinese enterprise evolution are as follows, (1) The strongest enterprises n1 will decline or transform in the enterprise community. (2) The enterprises which survived after the
shortage of resources will go through three stages: ① resistance stage; ② recovery stage; ③ stable stage. We believe that there are three movements that can make sure the resource-based enterprises community keep growing continuously in the competitive market for resources, (1) understand the enterprise resources shortage rate and the strongest enterprises share in resource rate in enterprise community, (2) follow the even-odd symmetry or odd-even symmetry laws based on the familiarity of a resource economy, (3) put the enterprises in the suitable position.

Prediction of Dissolved Oxygen and Study of Engineered Nanoparticles to Improve Water Quality
Authors: Chee Kelly , Kyung Richard
Published: July 2020

The lack of fresh water is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Increasing population and arid regions due to the temperature change limit the use of clean water. In this paper, Streeter-Phelps equation was used to find the levels of DO(Dissolved Oxygen) and the oxygen deficit which are the main criteria for the water body quality. Reaeration constants and deoxygenation coefficients were used to find how the DO and BOD(Biological Oxygen Demand) of the water bodies converge to equilibrium. Some pollutants cannot be removed from water efficiently via traditional water treatment. EDTA derivatives, owing to their engineered chemical properties, are also studied to be the potential metal ion chelator for enhancement of water quality. These molecules were tested for their thermodynamic stabilities, reactivities, and polarizations, and these characteristics are found to be important factors in selecting the most suitable chelator for metal ion chelation which is used for water quality control.

Linguistic Factors Affecting Moraic Duration in Spontaneous Japanese
Authors: Pappalardo Giuseppe
Published: July 2020

Japanese is often referred to as a mora-timed language (Ladefoged 1975): the mora has been described as the psychological prosodic unit in the spoken language, and it is the metric unit of traditional poetry (Bloch 1950). However, it is clear that morae are not strictly isochronous units (Beckman 1982). Thus, experimental studies have focused on detecting compensation effects that make average mora durations more equal through the modulation of the inherent duration of the segments involved (Han 1962; Port, Al-Ani, Maeda 1980; Homma 1981; Hoequist 1983a; 1983b; Warner, Arai 2001). Kawahara (2017) used the Corpus of Spontaneous Japanese to verify whether the durational compensation effect within a /CV/ mora occurs in natural speech, in addition to read speech in the lab. He observed a statistically significant compensation effect of /CV/ morae, in which vowel duration tends to vary in response to the duration of the preceding consonant. However, as the same author has pointed out, the compensation is not absolute because there are several linguistic factors that potentially affect segments’ duration profiles. This study will support the idea that moraic isochrony does not occur in spontaneous Japanese by presenting empirical data on how linguistic factors can considerably affect variation in the average duration of morae.

biodegradable polymer such as PVA is considered the most promising candidates for developing the sustainable sticker. The objective of this study was to determine the most suitable PVA + TS blends as adhesives agent for AMF spores inoculation via seed coating which can enhance the spores viability and their beneficial properties in maize. The polythene bag experiment was performed in a screen house of the Department of Plant Protection Faculty of Agriculture, University of Bengkulu Indonesia in 2015. Six adhesive blends were employed: 100% PVA + 0% TS, 75% PVA + 25% TS, 50% PVA + 50% TS, 25% PVA + 75% TS, 0% PVA + 100% TS, and no coating. The six experimental treatments were laid out in a completely randomized design with three replications. The results show that root colonization, AMF spore population, and shoot dry weight in 75% PVA + 25% TS were equal to those in 100% PVA. Root colonization, AMF spore population, shoot P content, and shoot P concentration were greater for 50% PVA + 50% TS than 100% PVA, 100% TS, and no coating. A mixture of 50% PVA + 50% TS was considered the preferred sticker. Thus, the tapioca starch can be used to substitute 25 - 50% of the PVA used without reducing AMF inoculant adhering to seed.Keywords: polymeric seed coating, seed coating formulation, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, sustainable coating adhesive, seed inoculation, seed inoculant

Gravity or Magnetic Monopoles? You Cannot Have Both!
Authors: Maes Stephane
Published: July 2020

In this paper, we argue that gravity breaks the symmetry between electric and magnetic equations (without sources) within the Standard Model. As a result, the motivation for introducing magnetic monopoles disappears (without affecting charge quantization): magnetic monopole probably do not exist in the presence or gravity. It is consistent with the absence of observation of magnetic monopoles and resolves the magnetic monopole cosmology problem. This result could have serious implications for supersymmetry, supergravity, GUTs and ToEs, including in particular superstrings. Some of these implications, and possible ways forward, are discussed.
A Qualitative Study of Young Adults Experience with a Reminiscence-Based Therapy for Depressive Symptoms
Authors: Hallford David John , Mellor David J. , Burgat Manon E.
Published: July 2020

Reminiscence therapy is a novel psychosocial approach to treating depressive symptoms in young adults. We present the first qualitative inquiry into young adults’ experience of reminiscence-based therapy, aimed at exploring attitudes towards this approach and their view of processes underpinning positive change. Help-seeking young adults (mean age 20.8, SD = 1.6) with at least moderate depressive symptoms were interviewed following a course of cognitive-reminiscence therapy. The data were analysed using thematic analysis. The intervention was reported to be a positive experience which led to positive outcomes. Change was attributed to common therapy factors, and specific factors of cognitive reframing, increasing awareness of a broader life story, learning from the past to feel more confident and able to cope, and strengthened self-worth and self-acceptance. These findings provide unique insight into young adults’ experience with reminiscence-based treatment for depressive symptoms, and indicates it is generally acceptable, useful, and age-appropriate for them.
Conceptual rather than perceptual similarity enables generalization across perceptually different appearances of familiarized faces
Authors: Gotlieb Maya , Abudarham Naphtali , Shir Yarden , Yovel Galit
Published: July 2020

Face recognition is a challenging categorization task, as in many cases the variability between different images of the same identity may be larger than the variability between images of different identities. Nevertheless, humans excel in this task, in particular for faces they are familiar with. What type of learning and what is the nature of the representation of the learned identity that support such remarkable categorization ability? Here we propose that conceptual learning and the generation of a conceptual representation of the learned identity in memory enables this classification performance. First, we show that humans learn to link perceptually different faces to the same identity, if faces are learned with the same conceptual information. Next, we show that this conceptual learning does not generate a single perceptual representation of the different appearances of each identity. Instead, perceptually dissimilar images of the same identity remain separated in the perceptual space and are linked conceptually rather than perceptually. This conceptual representation of face identity is advantageous, as it enables generalization across perceptually dissimilar images of the same identity/category, without increasing false recognition of perceptually similar images of different identities. A similar conceptual mechanism may also apply to other familiar categories such as familiar voices or objects of expertise that involve fine discrimination of a homogenous sets of stimuli that are linked to unique conceptual information. Overall these findings highlight the importance of studying the contribution of both cognition and perception to face recognition.

Identifikasi Model I-Garch (Integrated Generalized Autoregressive Conditionally Heterocedastic) Untuk Peramalan Value At Risk
Authors: Dwipa Nendra Mursetya Somasih
Published: July 2020

A stock returns data are one of type time series data who has a high volatility and different variance in every point of time. Such data are volatile, seting up a pattern of asymmetrical, having a nonstationary model, and that does not have a constant residual variance (heteroscedasticity). A time series ARCH and GARCH model can explain the heterocedasticity of data, but they are not always able to fully capture the asymmetric property of high frequency. Integrated Generalized Autoregresive Heteroskedascticity (IGARCH) model overcome GARCH weaknesses in capturing unit root. Furthermore IGARCH models were used to estimate the value of VaR as the maximum loss that will be obtained during a certain period at a certain confidence level.

Aircraft has  became the best choice for long distance traveling because it has shortest travel time than any other transportations. Moreover, in recent years, aviation industries have competed for providing low cost flight so that it can also be enjoyed by middle class society. Thus escalate the popularity of aircraft as economical carrier. Knowing the volume of passengers in advance will help government and related institutions to effectively providing facilities. The volume of passengers can be predicted using classic model such as double exponential smoothing model which is simpler and has high accuracy. However, the randomness of Indonesian passenger volume data cause double exponential smoothing (DES) cannot follow both data pattern and data trend. Moreover, classic model often encounters overfitting where the prediction is bigger than the actual data. Therefore, we employed Grey Method applied on DES (GDES) to overcome this problem. GDES enabled the researcher to perform better data fitting because it would generate smoothing curve which showed clearer trend. As the result, although GDES fitting curve had higher error measurement (MSE) than DES, the forecasting result of GDES was more precise than DES. Keyword: Double Exponential Smoothing, Grey Method, Levenberg-Marquardt
