EFFECTS OF THE SPRING TRITICALE GENOTYPES INTERACTION WITH ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
Authors: Zenkina К. V. , Aseeva Т. А.
Published: July 2019

As objects of research, 40 varieties and lines of spring triticale of various ecological and geographical origins were used. To identify the degree of influence of the genotype-environment interaction on the formation of the yield of spring triticale, differentiation of varieties according to yield levels was carried out and dispersive, correlation and regression analysis was used. The linear nature of the reaction of spring triticale genotypes to the environment is maintained as long as the loads of environmental factors do not exceed the buffer capacity of the varieties. The spring triticale yields were ranked during different vegetation periods and AC Certa, Grebeshok, Lana, Ulyana, Uzor, Lotos, Victoria, Losinovsk, Sandio samples were selected with optimal environmental resistance to stress factors of the Middle Amur Region. In the dispersion of the yield of spring triticale, the influence of environmental factors is 41.3%, varieties - 19.6%, and genotype-environment interactions - 39.1%. This suggests that during the formation of spring triticale yields, the conditions of the Middle Amur region prevail over the genotypes and the genotype-environment interaction. Based on the multiple correlation analysis, the cumulative effect of environmental factors on the production process of spring triticale (R = 0.554) was established. A mathematical model of spring triticale productivity has been created depending on the weather and climatic conditions of the growing season. According to the coefficients of the regression equation, photosynthetically active radiation (the regression coefficient is 0.5533) and the relative humidity of the air (the regression coefficient is 1.9640) during the organogenesis of spring triticale have a significant impact on the plant yield. The low environmental sustainability of the studied varieties and lines of spring triticale in the Middle Amur Region indicates the need to create a new source material as the basis of highly productive and sustainable agrobiocenosis.

The necessity of formation of resource-saving ekologiurad-based utilization system of agricultural machinery in agriculture was confirmed by studies conducted in the center FNAC VIM in 2013-2018 years during this period, information was collected about the structure of the charged parts of agricultural machinery (agricultural machinery) going to maintenance of the enterprise with the purpose of recycling. Qualified specialists of repair enterprises were involved in determining the status of parts of the utilized equipment, normative documentation and necessary equipment were used. Terms of operation were determined from the date of purchase until the receipt of the machine to the repair company. The obtained data were subjected to statistical processing in order to determine the effect of the terms of service on the technical condition of these items and determining the number of parts of different groups (in percentage) included in the utilized agricultural machinery, as well as one of the main factors for deciding the feasibility of recycling equipment. The aim of work is justification of alternative ecological oriented intelligent system “Selkhozretsikling” formation for realization of a new strategy of resources use connected with their reuse. The averaged dependences of the change in the coefficient of technical readiness for tractors and combines on their service life are determined. Making an informed decision about the appropriateness of further use the machine (repair or disposal), which is close (or reached) to the limit state depends on the accuracy and timeliness of receiving information about the level of loss of its fitness after a certain service life or operating time. As analysis showed in most farms (52%) the preparation of the components of wastes derived of operation technics allows to use their potential on secondary market. Theoretical works and legislative documents make it possible to carry out the necessary practical measures for the formation of a system for utilization of agricultural equipment.
“The true path to salvation”: Conversion to the Religion of Socialism in the Work of Jack London and Upton Sinclair
Authors: Ball Andrew
Published: July 2019

The most common motif in early twentieth century radical literature is the conversion narrative. A variation on the bildungsroman, these works feature conversions to socialism or to the labor movement that are modeled on techniques used by evangelical revivalists and on the experiences of religious converts. The most widely read and emblematic radical authors to consistently employ this trope were Jack London and Upton Sinclair. Not only did London and Sinclair continually utilize the conversion story in their fiction and nonfiction, they both described their own discovery of socialism as a religious conversion. In their work, both authors diligently seek to conflate Christianity and socialism and to prove that, not only are the two compatible, but that authentic observance of Christianity demands the endorsement of socialism. London and Sinclair use their writing as a method of evangelism that aims to convince their audience that socialism is a religious enterprise and means to salvation.

The Weapons Effect
Authors: Benjamin Arlin James
Published: July 2019

This review examines the current state of research on the weapons effect, a phenomenon in which the mere presence of weapons is presumed to cause people to behave more aggressively. The General Aggression Model (GAM) is often used to explain how and why the weapons effect occurs. Hence research on the extent to which weapons prime cognitive and appraisal processes is considered, based on findings from recent meta-analytic research. Findings from classic and contemporary studies offer mixed support for the weapons effect. Implications for theory and future research will be discussed.
A Comparative Study of Intravenous Nitroglycerin With or Without Intravenous Lignocaine for Attenuation of Stress Responses to Endotracheal Intubation
Authors: Regmi Nabin Kumar , Singh Grisuna
Published: July 2019

Background: Laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation lead to stress response which is characterized by transient rise in blood pressure and heart rate. This response is tolerated well in normal individuals but can lead to significant morbidity and mortality in patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Search for the better drugs to suppress these responses is going on through decades.

 Aim of Study: To compare the effects of IV nitroglycerin alone and in combination with IV lignocaine, on attenuation of stress response to end tracheal intubation.

 Material and Methods: This is a randomized, double blind study conducted in 60patients admitted for operation at NGMCTH, between June 2018 to November 2018. Patients were of 16- 60 years age groups and belonging to ASA group I and II. Patients were divided into two groups: Group I IV Nitroglycerin 500 mcg+ NS 3 ml. (n=30) and Group IIIV Nitroglycerin 500 mcg+ IV Lignocaine 63 mg (n=30). Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP), Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) and Heart rate (HR) were measured and Rate Pressure Product (RPP) calculated.

Results: Baseline values were comparable in both groups. Post Intubation, there was significant decrease in SBP at 0,1,3 and 5 minutes while DBP and MAP significantly decreased at 1, 3 and 5 minutes, in both groups. Significant tachycardia was noted in both groups at 0,1and 3 minutes, and RPP remained unchanged in both groups.

Conclusion: Nitroglycerin significantly decreases blood pressure, prevents rise in RPP but does not attenuate heart rate after end tracheal intubation. There is no benefit of adding IV lignocaine to IV nitroglycerin for attenuation of stress response to end tracheal intubation.

Occipital and external acoustic meatus to axis angle: a useful predictor of oropharyngeal space in rheumatoid arthritis patients with atlantoaxial subluxation
Authors: Morizane Kazuaki , Takemoto Mitsuru , Neo Masashi , Fujibayashi Shunsuke , Otsuki Bungo , Tanida Shimei , Shimizu Takayoshi , Ito Hiromu , Matsuda Shuichi
Published: July 2019

OBJECTIVE

Dyspnea and/or dysphagia is a life-threatening complication after occipitocervical fusion. The occiput-C2 angle (O-C2a) is useful for preventing dyspnea and/or dysphagia because O-C2a affects the oropharyngeal space. However, O-C2a is unreliable in atlantoaxial subluxation (AAS) because it does not reflect the translational motion of the cranium to C2, another factor affecting oropharyngeal area in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have reducible AAS. The authors previously proposed the occipital and external acoustic meatus to axis angle (O-EAa; i.e., the angle made by McGregor’s line and a line joining the external auditory canal and the middle point of the endplate of the axis [EA line]) as a novel, useful, and powerful predictor of the anterior-posterior narrowest oropharyngeal airway space (nPAS) distance in healthy subjects. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the validity of O-EAa as an indicator of oropharyngeal airway space in RA patients with AAS.

METHODS

The authors investigated 64 patients with RA. The authors collected lateral cervical radiographs at neutral position, flexion, extension, protrusion, and retraction and measured the O-C2a, C2-C6, O-EAa, anterior atlantodental interval (AADI), and nPAS. Patients were classified into 2 groups according to the presence of AAS and its mobility: group N, patients without AAS; and group R, patients with reducible AAS during dynamic cervical movement.

RESULTS

Group N had a significantly lower AADI and O-EAa than group R in all but the extension position. The O-EAa was a better predictor for nPAS than O-C2a according to the mixed-effects models in both groups (marginal R2: 0.510 and 0.575 for the O-C2a and O-EAa models in group N, and 0.250 and 0.390 for the same models, respectively, in group R).

CONCLUSIONS

O-EAa was superior to O-C2a in predicting nPAS, especially in the case of AAS, because it affects both O-C2a and cranial translational motion. O-EAa would be a useful parameter for surgeons performing occipitocervical fusion in patients with AAS.
Multilingualism and Dementia Risk: Longitudinal Analysis of the Nun Study
Authors: Hack Erica E. , Dubin Joel A. , Fernandes Myra A. , Costa Sanduni M. , Tyas Suzanne L.
Published: July 2019

Background:

Multilingualism is associated with enhanced executive function and may thus prevent cognitive decline and reduce the risk of dementia.

Objective:

To determine whether multilingualism is associated with delayed onset or reduced risk of dementia.

Methods:

Dementia was diagnosed in the Nun Study, a longitudinal study of religious sisters aged 75+ years. Multilingualism was self-reported. Dementia likelihood was determined in 325 participants using discrete-time survival analysis; sensitivity analyses ( n = 106) incorporated additional linguistic measures (idea density and grammatical complexity).

Results:

Multilingualism did not delay the onset of dementia. However, participants speaking four or more languages (but not two or three) were significantly less likely to develop dementia than monolinguals (OR = 0.13; 95% CI = 0.01, 0.65, adjusted for age, apolipoprotein E, and transition period). This significant protective effect of speaking four or more languages weakened (OR = 0.53; 95% CI = 0.06, 4.91) in the presence of idea density in models adjusted for education and apolipoprotein E.

Conclusion:

Linguistic ability broadly was a significant predictor of dementia, although it was written linguistic ability (specifically idea density) rather than multilingualism that was the strongest predictor. The impact of language on dementia may extend beyond number of languages spoken to encompass other indicators of linguistic ability. Further research to identify the characteristics of multilingualism most salient for risk of dementia could clarify the value, target audience, and design of interventions to promote multilingualism and other linguistic training as a strategy to reduce the risk of dementia and its individual and societal impacts.

Published: July 2019

A major impediment in early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the lack of robust non-invasive biomarkers of early brain dysfunction. Metropolitan Mexico City (MMC) children and young adults show hyperphosphorylated tau, amyloid-β, and α-synuclein within auditory and vestibular nuclei and marked dysmorphology in the ventral cochlear nucleus and superior olivary complex. Based on early involvement of auditory brainstem centers, we believe brainstem auditory evoked potentials can provide early AD biomarkers in MMC young residents. We measured brainstem auditory evoked potentials in MMC clinically healthy children (8.52±3.3 years) and adults (21.08±3.0 years, 42.48±8.5 years, and 71.2±6.4 years) compared to clean air controls (6.5±0.7 years) and used multivariate analysis adjusting for age, gender, and residency. MMC children had decreased latency to wave I, delays in waves III and V, and longer latencies for interwave intervals, consistent with delayed central conduction time of brainstem neural transmission. In sharp contrast, young adults have significantly shortened interwave intervals I–III and I–V. By the 5th decade, wave V and interval I–V were significantly shorter, while the elderly cohort had significant delay in mean latencies and interwave intervals. Compensatory plasticity, increased auditory gain, cochlear synaptopathy, neuroinflammation, and AD continuum likely play a role in the evolving distinct auditory pathology in megacity urbanites. Understanding auditory central and peripheral dysfunction in the AD continuum evolving and progressing in pediatric and young adult populations may shed light on the complex mechanisms of AD development and help identify strong noninvasive biomarkers. AD evolving from childhood in air pollution environments ought to be preventable.

Published: July 2019

This work aimed to analyze the effect of the variation of the proportions of calcium in relation to the contentes of magnesium and potassium in the cationic capacity of change (CCC) of the soil, seeking to propitiate the  appropriate balance of bases, so that the soybean plants presented good nutritional state and had conditions of resisting to the attack of Phakopsora pachyrhizi Syd. & P. Syd. The experiment was driven in randomized blocks with eight replications and the treatments consisted of doses of Ca:Mg:K in relation to CCC of the soil being:1) without correction of the bases (original soil with 3,8%:6,6%:2,4%); 2) 35:15:5; 3) 45:15:5; 4) 55:15:5; 5) 65:15:5; 6) 75:15:5. The soybean cultivar used in the experiment was BRS 184, sowed in mud vases containing dystrophic Red Latosol (Oxisol) as substrate. The inoculation was realized in the fenologic stadium V4. The disease severity was determined through visual notes considering the percentage foliate area with visible symptoms of the disease, being calculated the Area Under Disease Progress Curve (AUDPC). The data were submitted to the variance analysis (p<0.05) and fitting to regression models. The balance among the nutrientes was analyzed being calculated the index DRIS. The contents of nutrients, the matter dry indexes (MDI) and nutritional balance index (NBI) were inserted in the program ChecarDris for obtaining of the index DRIS. The results appeared that the percentages of 55% of calcium, 15% of magnesium and 5% of potassium, increase larger nutritional balance in the soybean providing to smallest area under disease progress curve (AUDPC), reduction in the severity of the rust (%), besides increase the largest productivity.

Weed control methods in coffee crops can significantly influence carbon (C) stocks of soil humic substances. The aim of this study was to evaluate C stocks in an experimental coffee crop submitted to conservation agriculture for weed control between coffee rows. The study was carried out in a very clayey Dystroferric Red Latosol, Londrina, Paraná state (23°21’30” S; 51°10’17” W), cultivated with cultivar Mundo Novo IAC 379-19. In 2008, the experiment was established as randomized block design with four replicates within split-split plot scheme. Seven weed control methods between coffee rows were considered (hand weeding; portable mechanical mower; herbicides application; two cover crops; weed check and spontaneous). In September 2013, coffee shrub pruning was conducted and residues were distributed along inter rows. The weed control methods were considered as the main-plot factor and sampling period (March 2014 and February 2015) as the split-plot. Soil samples were collected at the center of the inter rows at four depth increments. C stocks evaluation included total organic carbon determination by chromic acid wet oxidation. Humic substances were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy. Most of the considered weed control methods did not affect organic carbon storage in 0 – 40 cm layer, nevertheless led to increase at topsoil. In 2015, the humin fraction C stock was 54 % higher at superficial layer than subsequent depth, presenting 39 % average increase at the 2014/2015 interval. Although C stocks from humic and fulvic acids did not vary, more conjugated/condensed characteristic for the fulvic fraction was observed.

Music Festival Makes Hedgehogs Move: How Individuals Cope Behaviorally in Response to Human-Induced Stressors
Authors: Rast Wanja , Barthel Leon M.F. , Berger Anne
Published: July 2019

Understanding the impact of human activities on wildlife behavior and fitness can improve their sustainability. In a pilot study, we wanted to identify behavioral responses to anthropogenic stress in an urban species during a semi-experimental field study. We equipped eight urban hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus; four per sex) with bio-loggers to record their behavior before and during a mega music festival (2 × 19 days) in Treptower Park, Berlin. We used GPS (Global Positioning System) to monitor spatial behavior, VHF (Very High Frequency)-loggers to quantify daily nest utilization, and accelerometers to distinguish between different behaviors at a high resolution and to calculate daily disturbance (using Degrees of Functional Coupling). The hedgehogs showed clear behavioral differences between the pre-festival and festival phases. We found evidence supporting highly individual strategies, varying between spatial and temporal evasion of the disturbance. Averaging the responses of the individual animals or only examining one behavioral parameter masked these potentially different individual coping strategies. Using a meaningful combination of different minimal-invasive bio-logger types, we were able to show high inter-individual behavioral variance of urban hedgehogs in response to an anthropogenic disturbance, which might be a precondition to persist successfully in urban environments.
The Effects of Spring and Winter Blocking on PM10 Concentration in Korea
Authors: Yun Sug-gyeong , Yoo Changhyun
Published: July 2019

Atmospheric blocking is known to be related to locally developed abnormal climate of the Korean Peninsula, such as heat and cold waves. However, little attention has been devoted to the effects of blocking on the fine dust concentration over Korea. In this study, we analyze the connection between the monthly frequency of blocking occurrence and high particulate matter smaller than 10 μm in diameter (PM10) concentration events in Korea. Our analyses are limited to winter (DJF) and spring (MAM) when both the blocking and high PM10 events tend to take place most frequently. During winter, significant and positive correlations are found in the North Pacific, while significantly negative values are seen over Ural-Siberia. A high PM10 concentration tends to be accompanied by negative (positive) pressure anomalies over Siberia (North Pacific). However, while examining atmospheric fields associated with the high PM10 events, we find that the high PM10 events show two different types of atmospheric fields depending on the strength of wind speed over Korea. When the local wind speed over Korea is weaker than normal, the connection with the North Pacific blocking is strengthened, whereas, the connection with the Ural-Siberia blocking is enhanced when the wind speed is stronger than normal. However, to increase the occurrence of the high PM10 events, both types feature a strong meridional pressure gradient caused by a high pressure system forming over Siberia. This is accompanied by a strong upper tropospheric zonal wind from China and Mongolia to Korea.

Published: July 2019

Seismo-ionospheric coupling is a field of great interest and is currently subject to rigorous study; using both ground and satellite data and many phenomenological features, the ionospheric precursors of earthquakes were identified. In this work, we present methods to study the stochastic properties of the lower ionosphere, derived from the data obtained with very low frequency (VLF) receivers at frequencies in the range of 19.6 to 37.5 kHz. Two main approaches are described: auto-correlation and random matrix theory treatments of amplitude time series data. It is shown that before shallow earthquakes with magnitudes greater than four, there are measurable changes that can be used in earthquake prediction. Although the exact form of the causal chain that leads to these changes are currently subject to diligent study, we believe that the investigations described herein are worth adding to the repertoire of ionospheric precursors.

For the diagnosis of disease, the ability to quantitatively detect trace amounts of the causal proteins from bacteria/viruses as biomarkers in patient specimens is highly desirable. Here we introduce a simple, rapid, and colorimetric assay as a de novo, ultrasensitive detection method. This ultrasensitive assay consists of a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and thionicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide (thio-NAD) cycling, forming an ultrasensitive ELISA, in which the signal substrate (i.e., thio-NADH) accumulates in a triangular manner, and the accumulated thio-NADH is measured at its maximum absorption wavelength of 405 nm. We have successfully achieved a limit of detection of ca. 10−18 moles/assay for a target protein. As an example of infectious disease detection, HIV-1 p24 could be measured at 0.0065 IU/assay (i.e., 10−18 moles/assay), and as a marker for a lifestyle-related disease, adiponectin could be detected at 2.3 × 10−19 moles/assay. In particular, despite the long-held belief that the trace amounts of adiponectin in urine can only be detected using a radioisotope, our ultrasensitive ELISA was able to detect urinary adiponectin. This method is highly versatile because simply changing the antibody enables the detection of various proteins. This assay system requires only the measurement of absorbance, thus it requires equipment that is easily obtained by medical facilities, which facilitates diagnosis in hospitals and clinics. Moreover, we describe an expansion of our ultrasensitive ELISA to a non-amplification nucleic acid detection method for nucleic acids using hybridization. These de novo methods will enable simple, rapid, and accurate diagnosis.
Information Geometrical Characterization of Quantum Statistical Models in Quantum Estimation Theory
Authors: Suzuki Jun
Published: July 2019

In this paper, we classify quantum statistical models based on their information geometric properties and the estimation error bound, known as the Holevo bound, into four different classes: classical, quasi-classical, D-invariant, and asymptotically classical models. We then characterize each model by several equivalent conditions and discuss their properties. This result enables us to explore the relationships among these four models as well as reveals the geometrical understanding of quantum statistical models. In particular, we show that each class of model can be identified by comparing quantum Fisher metrics and the properties of the tangent spaces of the quantum statistical model.
Thermodynamics and Stability of Non-Equilibrium Steady States in Open Systems
Authors: Bulíček Miroslav , Málek Josef , Průša Vít
Published: July 2019

Thermodynamical arguments are known to be useful in the construction of physically motivated Lyapunov functionals for nonlinear stability analysis of spatially homogeneous equilibrium states in thermodynamically isolated systems. Unfortunately, the limitation to isolated systems is essential, and standard arguments are not applicable even for some very simple thermodynamically open systems. On the other hand, the nonlinear stability of thermodynamically open systems is usually investigated using the so-called energy method. The mathematical quantity that is referred to as the “energy” is, however, in most cases not linked to the energy in the physical sense of the word. Consequently, it would seem that genuine thermo-dynamical concepts are of no use in the nonlinear stability analysis of thermodynamically open systems. We show that this is not the case. In particular, we propose a construction that in the case of a simple heat conduction problem leads to a physically well-motivated Lyapunov type functional, which effectively replaces the artificial Lyapunov functional used in the standard energy method. The proposed construction seems to be general enough to be applied in complex thermomechanical settings.
Leveraging on the Cognitive Radio Channel Aggregation Strategy for Next Generation Utility Networks
Authors: Ebenezer Esenogho , Swart Theo. , Shongwe Thokozani
Published: July 2019

Integrating cognitive radio into the current power grid is designed to enable smart communication and decisions within the grid. Communication within the grid is not feasible without channel(s) and most studies have emphasized the use of cellular spectrum. This study proposes a strategy that enables the use of television white space (TVWS) within the grid. To be specific, we propose using a next-generation utility network (Next-GUN), which leverages on the cognitive radio (CR) channel aggregation capability. This strategy enables the aggregation of idle TVWS into a usable channel, thus making the Next-GUN different from the traditional power network. Next-GUN differs in terms of security, reliability, self-awareness, and cross-layer compatibility to the interface, and conveys different traffic classes, thereby making it a hybrid system. It has no dedicated channel assigned to it, and hence, utilizes the idle TVWS opportunistically to transmit data. The proposed scheme was modelled as a Markovian process and analyzed using a continuous time Markov chain (CTMC). Extensive system simulations were performed to evaluate this proposed model and the corresponding comparison with the literature was done to see the improvement. The result of our comparisons shows that when channels are aggregated, more data/information are transmitted. In addition, the use of cognitive radios on a power network enables smart transaction because idle TVWS is utilized instead of congesting the GSM spectrum. Lastly, the power utility establishment can save the cost of paying for a licensed spectrum.

In order to improve the accuracy of the wind speed simulated by a mesoscale model for the wind resource assessment in coastal areas, this study evaluated the effectiveness of using the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA)’s latest and finest (2 km × 2 km) grid point value (GPV) data, produced from the local forecast model (LFM) as input data to the mesoscale model. The evaluation was performed using wind lidar measurements at two sites located on the coasts of the Sea of Japan and Pacific Ocean. The accuracy of the LFM–GPV was first compared with that of two products from the JMA Meso Scale Model (MSM) (5 km × 5 km): MSM-GPV and mesoscale analysis (MANAL). Consequently, it was shown that LFM–GPV exhibited the most accurate wind speeds against lidar measurements. Next, dynamical downscaling simulations were performed using the weather research and forecasting model (WRF) forced by the three datasets above, and their results were compared. As compared to the GPVs, it was found that the WRF dynamical downscaling simulation using them as input can improve the accuracy of the coastal wind speeds. This was attributed to the advantage of the WRF simulation to improve the negative bias from the input data, especially for the winds blowing from the sea sectors. It was also found that even if the LFM–GPV is used as an input to the WRF simulation, it does not always reproduce more accurate wind speeds, as compared to the simulations using the other two datasets. This result is partly owing to the tendency of WRF to overestimate the wind speed over land, thus obscuring the higher accuracy of the LFM–GPV. It was also shown that the overestimation tendency cannot be improved by only changing the nudging methods or the planetary boundary layer schemes in WRF. These results indicate that it may be difficult to utilize the LFM–GPV in the WRF wind simulation, unless the overestimation tendency of WRF itself is improved first.

Hi-C, capture Hi-C (CHC) and Capture-C have contributed greatly to our present understanding of the three-dimensional organization of genomes in the context of transcriptional regulation by characterizing the roles of topological associated domains, enhancer promoter loops and other three-dimensional genomic interactions. The analysis is based on counts of chimeric read pairs that map to interacting regions of the genome. However, the processing and quality control presents a number of unique challenges. We review here the experimental and computational foundations and explain how the characteristics of restriction digests, sonication fragments and read pairs can be exploited to distinguish technical artefacts from valid read pairs originating from true chromatin interactions.
