Some fungi may promote plant growth by production of siderophores, Indole Acetic Acid (IAA) and phosphorus dissolving capability. In this study, eight fungi were isolated from the mushroom substrate, and their siderophores production, IAA production and phosphorus dissolving traits were determined. Although there was no significant difference in IAA production among the eight fungi, but the strain M13026-2 was a fungus with strong growth promoting traits compared with other seven fungi. In order to study the correlation between the growth promoting effect of cucumber pot culture and the above three traits, five fungi with different strength of traits were tested in pot. As a result, M13026- 2 which was identified as Talaromyces purpureogenus could significantly improve the growth parameters of cucumber seedlings, and could colonize in the rhizosphere soil and the tissue of cucumber stably. All the results suggested that the most relevant to their ability to promote plant growth is the trait of phosphorus dissolving, followed by siderophores production. The results of this study will provide scientific basis for the efficient selection and identification of a large number of fungi resources with the function of promoting plant growth, and reveal the good application potential of T. purpureogenus in agriculture fields.

Pruritus is a major distressing symptom, common in inflammatory diseases, like Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL) and mastocytosis. We aimed to study the involvement of some molecules, namely, cytokines, neuromediators, endothelial adhesion molecules and angiogenic factors, in the severity of pruritus associated to CTCL and mastocytosis. CTCL - Mycosis Fungoides (MF, n=17) and Sézary syndrome (SS, n=10) and mastocytosis patients (n=17) were evaluated. Interleukin (IL)-8, IL-31, Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), E-selectin, serotonin and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, were assessed; tryptase was measured in mastocytosis. Pruritus severity was assessed, using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Compared to controls (n=29), CTCL patients presented higher CRP and IL-31. SS patients had higher IL-31, E-selectin and CRP than MF patients and controls. Itch correlated with IL- 31 and E-selectin, when considering all CTCL patients; in SS, itch correlated with E-selectin. Advanced CTCL stages revealed higher IL-31, E-selectin and CRP than early stages, and controls; itch intensity correlated with IL-31 and E-selectin, in advanced stages. Mastocytosis showed higher serotonin and VEGF, compared to controls, and itch intensity correlated with tryptase. Data suggest that in mastocytosis, serotonin is an important biomarker and that tryptase levels reflect itch intensity; IL-31 and E-selectin appear to be more important mediators in CTCL and strongly correlated with itch severity. The different involvement of studied mediators, probably due to different immune responses, suggests that different mechanisms underlie these diseases and may lead to different itch mechanisms.

This study displays a retrospective cohort analysis in the Reproductive and Genetic Health Center of Peking University First Hospital. Data were collected from 411 women receiving ART. The body composition, sex hormones and biochemical indicators were assessed by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). Subjects were grouped by Body Mass Index (BMI) and Body Fat Percentage (BFP), and differences of body composition among groups were analyzed. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between sex hormones, biochemical indicators and body composition. Compared with the non-overweight group (BMI <24kg/m²), the lean body mass and fat mass of the overweight group (BMI ≥24kg/m²) increased significantly (P <0.001). Notably, 43.7% of non-overweight subjects have increased body fat as distinguished by PBF. The visceral adipose tissue increased by 50.9% in subjects with more fat. Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG), triglyceride, Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) and testosterone were positively correlated with trunk fat, while High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) and estradiol were negatively correlated with trunk fat. Moreover, total cholesterol was positively correlated with Bone Mineral Content (BMC). Therefore, this research demonstrated significant differences in body composition between overweight and non-overweight women receiving ART. Combining PBF with BMI, obesity can be identified more accurately. Biochemical metabolism and sex hormones were related to body composition. Therefore, women receiving ART require detailed measurements of body composition, not BMI. Further studies are needed to confirm the relationship between pregnancy outcomes and body composition in women receiving ART treatment.

Published: July 2021

Though Huntington’s Disease (HD) is frequently complicated by falls and consecutive Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) with Subdural Hematoma (SDH), traumatic Subarachnoid Bleeding (SAB) has not been reported as a complication of HD. A 67yo female with HD due to a CAG-repeat expansion of 43 repeats, diagnosed 18 months earlier, was admitted after a fall with a Glasgow-Coma Scale (GCS) score of 3. Cerebral CT on admission revealed bilateral SDH and SAB. No aneurysm could be detected on conventional angiography. After extubation, she was non-responsive to verbal requests and typical choreatic movement recurred. Tiaprid, olanzapine, and tetrabenazine were of limited effect. This case shows that falls in HD may not only cause SDH but rarely traumatic SAB. TBI in HD may worsen the phenotype and may increase the risk of a poor outcome.

Published: July 2021

At the core of New Public Management (NPM) reforms sit the concept of accountability of publicly funded organizations. In Canada, it is suggested that provinces have increased the number of accountability procedures imposed to universities and those measures would have had an impact on professors' academic workload. This study relies on the Canadian faculty's perspectives collected through the 2007 Changing Academic Profession (CAP) study (n = 1151) and the 2017 Academic Profession in the Knowledge Society (APIKS) study (n = 2968). Descriptive statistics and a MANOVA comparing the scores of five variables in 2007 and 2017 suggest that academic workload increased significantly in ten years, academic acvities are significantly more evaluated, although less by academics themselves, female academics report dedicating more time to administrative tasks and being more frequently evaluated, and senior administrative staff and external reviewers are perceived as being more involved in the evaluation of academic activities in 2017 than in 2007. Our interpretation is that accountability measures could increase professors' admministrative burden and grant more authority to non-academic staff.

Key words: accountability; academic workload; academic profession; new public management; Canadian universities.

Published: July 2021

Wakatobi Islands, which are located east of Buton Island, were part of the territory of the Buton Kingdom in the past. Wakatobi Islands cover an area known as a shipping route connecting the eastern and western regions of the Nusantara archipelago. The historical journey of the people of Wakatobi Islands led them to have a strong maritime tradition in Nusantara. This paper discusses issues related to the initial overview of the Wakatobi Islands from the perspectives of archaeology, history, and maritime traditions. The methods used include survey and observation as well as literature study and interviews. The results obtained provide a regional profile of the Wakatobi Islands, which shows that archaeological remains and the traditional fortresses spread in the area are residential sites that reflect the archaeological character of the islands. The identification that we have conducted on the ceramics shows that they date from at least the 15th century, with ceramics from the Qing dynasty (17th to 19th centuries) being the most dominant. The historical perspective also gives an understanding that the maritime tradition of the Wakatobi people has strong historical roots in the formation of communities in this region. Likewise, the history and maritime traditions of the Wakatobi people are correlated with archaeological remains which are the traces of immigrants who developed the communities of the Wakatobi Islands. Kepulauan Wakatobi yang terletak di sebelah timur Pulau Buton merupakan bagian dari wilayah kekuasaan Kesultanan Buton di masa lampau. Wilayah kepulauan ini adalah kawasan yang dikenal sebagai jalur pelayaran penghubung wilayah timur dan barat Nusantara. Perjalanan sejarah masyarakat Kepulauan Wakatobi sekaligus mengantarkan wilayah ini memiliki tradisi kemaritiman yang kuat di nusantara. Tulisan ini membahas permasalahan terkait tinjauan awal Kepulauan Wakatobi dipandang dari perspektif arkeologi, sejarah dan tradisi kemaritiman. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode survei atau observasi dan juga studi pustaka dan wawancara. Hasil yang diperoleh memberi pemahaman tentang profil wilayah Kepulauan Wakatobi bahwa tinggalan arkeologi dan persebaran benteng tradisional merupakan situs hunian yang merefleksikan karakter arkeologi kepulauan wilayah ini. Identifikasi awal yang kami lakukan, data keramik menunjukkan pertanggalan mulai sebelum atau pada abad ke-15, dimana keramik periode Qing abad ke-17 dan 19 adalah paling dominan. Perspektif sejarah juga memberi pemahaman bahwa tradisi kemaritiman masyarakat Wakatobi memiliki akar sejarah yang kuat dari terbentuknya komunitas masyarakat di wilayah ini. Demikian juga dengan sejarah dan tradisi kemaritiman masyarakat Wakatobi berkorelasi dengan tinggalan arkeologi sebagai jejak kehadiran pendatang dari luar wilayah yang membentuk masyarakat Kepulauan Wakatobi.

The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of implementing knowledge management strategies on the performance of educational institutions in the face of the industrial revolution 4.0. The approach used in this research is a quantitative approach. The sample used in this study is the academic community in one of the private universities in Serpong. The data analysis technique used in the study was Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results showed that the application of knowledge management strategies was proven to significantly affect the performance of educational institutions. Knowledge management strategies have also been shown to have a strong influence in improving human relations among students. Relationships among humans can be a mediating variable for the relationship between knowledge management strategies and educational institution performance and have the same influence as the direct influence of knowledge management strategies on the performance of educational institutions.
Impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions against COVID-19 in Europe in 2020: a quasi-experimental non-equivalent group and time series design study

Published: July 2021

Introduction

The current pandemic of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is unparalleled in recent history as are the social distancing interventions that have led to a considerable halt on the economic and social life of so many countries.

Aim

We aimed to generate empirical evidence about which social distancing measures had the most impact in reducing case counts and mortality.

Methods

We report a quasi-experimental (observational) study of the impact of various interventions for control of the outbreak through 24 April 2020. Chronological data on case numbers and deaths were taken from the daily published figures by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control and dates of initiation of various control strategies from the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation website and published sources. Our complementary analyses were modelled in R using Bayesian generalised additive mixed models and in STATA using multilevel mixed-effects regression models.

Results

From both sets of modelling, we found that closure of education facilities, prohibiting mass gatherings and closure of some non-essential businesses were associated with reduced incidence whereas stay-at-home orders and closure of additional non-essential businesses was not associated with any independent additional impact.

Conclusions

Our findings are that schools and some non-essential businesses operating ‘as normal’ as well as allowing mass gatherings were incompatible with suppressing disease spread. Closure of all businesses and stay at home orders are less likely to be required to keep disease incidence low. Our results help identify what were the most effective non-pharmaceutical interventions in this period.
Approximate formulas for the evaluation of the mathematical expectation of functionals from the solution to the linear Skorohod equation
Authors: Egorov A. D.
Published: July 2021

This paper is devoted to the construction of approximate formulas for calculating the mathematical expectation of nonlinear functionals from the solution to the linear Skorohod stochastic differential equation with a random initial condition. To calculate the mathematical expectations of nonlinear functionals from random processes, functional analogs of quadrature formulas have been developed, based on the requirement of their accuracy for functional polynomials of a given degree. Most often, formulas are constructed that are exact for polynomials of the third degree [1–9], which are used to obtain an initial approximation and in combination with approximations of the original random process. In the latter case, they are usually also exact for polynomials of a given degree and are called compound formulas. However, in the case of processes specified in the form of compound functions from other random processes the constructed functional quadrature formulas, as a rule, have great computational complexity and cannot be used for computer implementation. This is exactly what happens in the case of functionals from the solutions of stochastic equations. In [1, 2], the approaches to solving this problem were considered for some types of Ito equations in martingales. The solution of the problem is simplified in the cases when the solution of the stochastic equation is found in explicit form: the corresponding approximations were obtained in the cases of the linear equations of Ito, Ito – Levy and Skorohod in [3–11]. In [7, 8, 11], functional quadrature formulas were constructed that are exact for the approximations of the expansions of the solutions in terms of orthonormal functional polynomials and in terms of multiple stochastic integrals. This work is devoted to the approximate calculation of the mathematical expectations of nonlinear functionals from the solution of the linear Skorokhod equation with a leading Wiener process and a random initial condition. A new approach to the construction of quadrature formulas, exact for functional polynomials of the third degree, based on the use of multiple Stieltjes integrals over functions of bounded variation in the sense of Hardy – Krause, is proposed. A composite approximate formula is also constructed, which is exact for second-order functional polynomials, converging to the exact expectation value, based on a combination of the obtained quadrature formula and an approximation of the leading Wiener process. The test examples illustrating the application of the obtained formulas are considered.

The methods of molecular genetic analysis are widely used to assess the genetic structure and to study the dynamics of population-genetic processes in populations of domestic animals. I n particular, these are the highly polymorphic genetic markers – the microsatellites that are the most common molecular markers in genetic and genomic research. The aim of the research was to develop the genealogical structure of the Belarusian black-and-white breed based on the microsatellite analysis of the lines bred at a gene pool enterprise. The research was carried out with the animals bred at the JSC “SGC “Zarechye”. For the microsatellite analysis of boars of the Belarusian black-and-white breed, the DNA testing was carried out at 9 STR-loci (SО155, SО355, SО386, SО005, SW72, SW951, SО101, SW240, and SW857). In all studied lines, the largest number of effective alleles was at the SО005 locus – 4.00–5.14. The lines of animals with heterozygosity can be used in various breeding schemes, both in purebred breeding (in pedigree pig breeding) and in crossing (in industrial pig breeding). Polymorphism determines the degree of genetic variation in populations. The locus is classified as polymorphic when the frequency of the most common allele of this locus does not exceed 95% (р ≤ 95). The revealed polymorphism of loci in the lines Maket, Tik, and Veseliy indicates the presence of genetic variability in them, which allows using them in breeding and breed-forming processes. Based on the studies made, the genealogical structure of the Belarusian black-and-white breed, consisting of one subcluster and two branches, has been developed, which makes it possible to assess the state and degree of relation of structural units (lines), and reflects the prospect of their further use.
Electrochemical polishing of matrix stents of the 316LVM steel using microsecond pulses

Published: July 2021

With the development of minimally invasive treatment technology, coronary stents made of corrosion-resistant steel are in demand for restoring the patency of blood vessels. The effectiveness of coronary stenting depends on various factors, but the quality of the surface of the stents is a major factor. The higher the quality of the surface of the stent is, the less negative the effect on the circulatory system, arterial walls, and the higher the biocompatibility of the stent is. The complex shape, small cross-section, size, and low rigidity of coronary stents are the main reasons for the inability to ensure high surface quality using mechanical finishing methods. Therefore, electrochemical methods are used to polish stents. For electrochemical polishing (ECP) of stents, an electric mode based on direct current is traditionally used. The disadvantages of direct current ECP are excessive metal removal and the need to use electrolytes of complex compositions, often containing toxic components. As an alternative to the traditional ECP with the use of direct current, we have proposed a method of pulsed ECP using pulses of microsecond duration for polishing stents. The use of pulsed current allows one to achieve a significant increase in the efficiency of the SEC process, when, due to the localization of the anodic dissolution, the smoothing speed of the microroughness of the treated surface, referred to the total metal removal, increases significantly. The paper presents a comparative analysis of ECP modes using direct and pulse current to change the surface roughness, removal, radius of curvature of the edges, and corrosion resistance on the example of stents made of the 316LVM stainless steel. Based on the results of the studies, technological regimes of pulsed ECP were established that provide the highest quality polishing of the stent surface with a small metal removal with a slight rounding of the edges.

Abstract. The article is dedicated to the determination of the wash depth of mountain rivers in floods and overflows. As well-known, hydrotechnical equipment is exposed to destructive damages of the floods and overflows. The undersurface of
bridge basement and coast guards are washed away, the surface of drainage devices
in water supply and dams (Düker) at river crossings are opened up. Therefore, the
protection of the equipment against the destructive damage of the floods and overflows should be ensured. To this aim, first of all, the depth of the fortification of the
equipment basement in riverbeds and the width through which the river can flow
should be determined and the works of installing coast guards should be accordingly
implemented.
Since the flow regime of rivers due to floods in the course of mountain riverbeds
dramatically changes, the width, depth, roughness and cross-sectional area of the
riverbed also changes. To that reason, in the smallest case, calculation formulas includes the average width and wash depth of the riverbed in the course of the floods
and overflows, average diameter of undersurface soils, the slope of the location of
hydrotechnical structures, velocity due to the average diameter of the riverbed soils
and so on.
The article contains the analyses of theoretical and practical materials about the
floods and overflows in mountain rivers. For the rivers flowing through the southern
hills of Great Caucasus Mountains, the expressions for determining the riverbed parameters and hydrological parameters of rivers are used. According to the expressions, average width due to non-washing of the riverbed in floods in accordance
with flood flow and slope of the studied part of the riverbed, the average depth of
the riverbed crossing the flood, the average velocity of the flow and the wash depth
in accordance with them are determined. basing on all these, the determining method
of the wash depth of mountain riverbeds in floods have been worked out and determining the wash depth have been recorded. The studied methodology can be used
in determining the riverbed parameters in floods and overflows.

Abstract: Transportations of rivers are composed of small fractions with high
adsorption capacity. These particles settle in the beds and on the banks of the rivers
during displacement and collects complex chemical compounds. particles that are
equal to or smaller than 0.02 mm in size have good adsorption capacity. but as a result of further hydraulic and hydro-chemical impacts, these particles desorbs and
pollute water for the second time. In Germany, the content of bottom sediments is
examined every 3 to 5 years during monitoring of the studies of river water. During
the monitoring, samples of bottom sediment taken from different spots of the river
are analyzed and based on the results of these analyses, polluted parts of the river
are determined. Comparison of measured value of the elements with the norms accepted is made to determine which part of the river is polluted. Classification is provided based on the pollution degree of the bottom sediments.
Adsorption of salts and organic substances by the bottom sediments shows the
adsorption capacity of the bottom sediments. Thus, taking into account the abovementioned, it is planned to determine and compare the adsorption capacity of the
bottom sediments in difference locations of the Kish River.
Studies of the bottom sediments of the Kish River are provided. Study of the
chemical composition of the bottom sediments in the rivers determines the adsorption capacity of the bottom sediments. It is known that during spring and autumn
when the water level is higher in the rivers, the water received by the river washes
the suspended solids from the riverbed and surrounding areas. These suspended
solids are composed of organic and inorganic matters. Analyses were conducted to
study the content of the bottom sediments of the Kish River. During the analyses,
anions (CL–
, SO2+4, HCO–
3) and cations (Na++K+
, Mg2+, Ca2+), their groups and
classes according to O.A.Alyokin, relationships, some chemical characteristics, salt
content, chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD5), bacteriological parameters were studied. The results of the analyses were compared and
the amount of the salts adsorbed by the bottom sediments of this river was determined.

Background: Oral condition is one of substantial factors in general health. Good oral health will determine dental fitness or readiness in military troops. Oral diseases affecting soldiers may have negative impacts in readiness on deployment or fight and contributes to lowering morale among personnel. At the recruitment stage, the prevalence of periodontal disease is low and controlled before the commencement of the training. As a matter of fact, periodontal health was not considered to be maintained and found to be worsening through the course of time. In the end, many of soldiers were found to suffer from periodontal diseases. Method : This review article aims to discuss several factors in military way of life related to oral condition.Result : Lack of oral hygiene practices, stress, deficiency of nutritious food, and smoking among military personnel may contribute to the prevalence of periodontal disease. Several attempts should be incorporated in military life to reduce the negative impacts of these factors on oral health.Conclusion: Periodontal therapy should be provided early in the military careers and repeated at intervals specific to the needs of each personnel.

Objetivo:Identificar vivências da pessoa com estomia intestinal relacionadas ao seu convívio social. Métodos:Estudo descritivo, de natureza qualitativa, realizado com dez pessoas com estomia intestinal. A coleta de dados foi realizada no Serviço de Estomaterapia de um hospital escola do Distrito Federal, por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas relativas à vivência familiar e social antes e após a estomia. Resultados: Participaram seis homens e quatro mulheres, com idade média de 49 anos, a maioria com colostomia definitiva. Da análise surgiram duas categorias: “Como é viver com estomia e seus desafios”; e “Estratégias desenvolvidas diante das mudanças”. Na primeira categoria destacam-se: autocuidado, falta de banheiro adequado, atividade laboral, hábitos alimentares, ruptura da imagem corporal e situações constrangedoras. Na segunda categoria buscam: apoiar na religiosidade, manter sentimentos positivos e preservar o equilíbrio emocional. Conclusão: A estomia interfere no convívio familiar e social. Ficou evidente que a pessoa com estomia desenvolve estratégias para enfrentar as mudanças. Acredita-se que o isolamento social decorre, em parte, pela falta de informação junto à sociedade, falta de material de qualidade que ofereça conforto e segurança e, por último, falta de banheiros, públicos e privados, adaptados

Abstrak

Perdebatan tentang pelemahan hubungan antara nilai tukar dan ekspor telah meningkat dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, dan meningkatnya tren perdagangan terkait rantai nilai global (Global Value Chain/GVC) diasumsikan menjadi sumber melemahnya hubungan di antara keduanya. Dengan menggunakan data spesifik industri manufaktur, studi ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki dampak GVC pada hubungan Nilai Tukar Efektif Riil (Real Effective Exchange Rate/REER) dan ekspor di empat negara ASEAN. Estimasi dilakukan menggunakan regresi Least Square Dummy Variable (LSDV) untuk periode sampel dari tahun 2009 hingga 2015. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa di Filipina, koefisien elastisitas nilai tukar ekspor dan partisipasi ke GVC tidak signifikan secara statistik. Sebaliknya di Indonesia dan Malaysia, secara rata-rata, integrasi ke GVC dengan berbagai pengukuran akan menurunkan elastisitas ekspor terhadap perubahan REER sekitar 70% sampai 89%. Lebih lanjut, estimasi terhadap data Thailand dan kelompok empat negara ASEAN menunjukkan bahwa partisipasi pada GVC mengubah nilai dan tanda elastisitas ekspor terhadap REER.

Abstract

The debate on the issue of the disconnected relationship between exchange rates and exports has risen in recent years, with the growing trend of Global Value Chain (GVC)-related trade assumed to be the source of the weakening link between them. By employing manufacturing industry-specific data, this study aims to investigate the impact of GVC on the nexus of the Real Effective Exchange Rate (REER) and exports in four ASEAN countries. The estimations are conducted using Least Square Dummy Variable (LSDV) regression for the sample period from 2009 to 2015. The findings of this study suggest that for the Philippines, the coefficients of exchange rate elasticity of export and participation to GVC are not statistically significant. Conversely, in the case of Indonesia and Malaysia, integration to GVC, with various measurements, will reduce the REER elasticity of exports by around 70% to 89% on average. Furthermore, the estimation data on Thailand and a group of four countries implies that the presence of GVC changes both the value and the sign of REER elasticity of exports.

Soybean [Glycine max (L) Merr.] is one of the most important crops used for human food and animal feed globally. Transgenic soybean covers more than 74% of the global soybean production area, which is an achievement of genetically modified programs. The Agrobacterium-mediated method is commonly used for soybean transformation, but the efficiency of this method is affected by various factors including genotypes. Screening of the soybean genotypes suitable for Agrobacterium-infection and plant regeneration is the most important step to establish an efficient genetic transformation system. In this study, we screened thirty Vietnamese soybean genotypes including seventeen cultivated soybean genotypes (CSG) and thirteen local soybean genotypes (LCG) for shoot regeneration ability and transient infection via Agrobacterium tumefaciens method. Two CSG cultivars, DT22 and VX93, had significantly high efficiencies for shoot regeneration and transient infection compared with the control genotypes Jack and William 82. The shoot regeneration of DT22 and VX93 was 92.32% with 5.75 shoots/explant and 93.35% with 5.92 shoots/explant, respectively, whereas the control genotypes Jack and William 82 had 91.35% with 4.6 shoots/explant and 82.64% with 5.7 shoots/explant. Similarly, the transient infection of DT22 and VX93 was 84% and 86%, respectively, which was comparable with that of Jack (86%) William (82%). The success of transgenic development was confirmed by the β-Glucuronidase staining, PCR, and Basta leaf painting. The results indicated that cultivars DT22 and VX93 could be used for stable Agrobacterium-media transformation. Keywords: Soybean, Agrobacterium, transformation, transient infection, transgenic.

Tripura is a land of high hills, hillocks, interspersed with rivers and valleys having moderately warm and humid climate, well distributed annual rainfall of 2500 mm. The terrain soil and climate of Tripura are ideally suited for rain-fed Horticulture. Tripura, being endowed with fertile soils, abundant moisture and sub-tropical climate offer immense scope for production of a wide variety of tropical and sub-tropical fruits. The climatic conditions of the state suitable for production of a large variety of horticultural crops chief among which include ‘Queen’ and ‘Kew’; varieties of Pineapple. Pineapple (Ananas comosus L.) is a monoecious, monocotyledonous, monocarpic and xerophytic herbaceous perennial plant and its perennial in nature is propitiated through suckers. ‘Queen’ and ‘Kew’ (‘Smooth Cayenne’) are the main cultivars grown in different parts of Tripura. Among the states of north east India Assam is leading in terms of area and production and Tripura is just behind the Assam both in terms of area and production. Tripura produces 178.45 thousand MT from 12.57 thousand ha area (Anonymous, 2017), which is India’s fifth leading state of in pineapple production and Tripura is also share 9.30 per cent of India’s total pineapple production. The variety ‘Queen’ being the most popular for fresh consumption and occupying the largest area. These varieties are well known in the rest of the country. These Fruit products are free of any chemical residue thus making the fruits of Tripura products of organic farming. Pineapple production for export market is a realistic for organic cultivation for small scale organic farmers. The positive effects of organic pineapple production by default in Tripura competing on the global export market for pineapple.

Authors: A., Ajay
Published: July 2021

The physical properties of seeds are very important to optimize the design parameters of various agricultural equipment used in their production, handling, and storage processes. Determination and use of these properties are also essential for the development of optimum seed metering mechanism and also in the design of a hopper for a planter for precise sowing of seeds. Physical properties such as length, surface area, breadth, roundness, equivalent diameter, sphericity, angle of repose, and coefficient of friction were determined for the development of the seed metering unit. The physical properties of seeds were calculated initially. Three varieties of maize seed Rasi-3033, NMH-589, and KMH-2589. The mean values of seed length, width, thickness, sphericity, geometric mean diameter, surface area, bulk density, coefficient of static friction, angle of repose, and thousand kernel weight were 11.00 mm, 7.75 mm, 4.58 mm, 0.65, 7.09 mm, 158.14 mm2, 746.4 kg m-3, 0.60, 28.17o and 0.23 kg, respectively. These properties were used in the development of efficient planter components to work effectively
