Core Ideas

Diversified rotations are more productive and profitable than cereal only rotations.

Fallow rotations are less profitable than continuous cropping in the Northern Plains.

Continuous cropping is riskier; however, it is preferred when averse to risk.

Crop production in the semiarid Northern Great Plains has historically been limited to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), with fallow every second or third year. In response to current prices and new production technologies, these cropping systems have been replaced with reduced frequency of fallowing and inclusion of oilseed and pulse crops in the rotation. This study examined the long‐term changes that producers can expect in their production levels and economic returns for five wheat‐based rotations with different fallow frequencies, use of an annual legume green manure to partially replace fallow, and a continuous diversified rotation of cereal–oilseed–cereal–pulse crops. The findings were based on the last 11 yr of a 28‐yr (1987–2014) crop rotation experiment performed at Swift Current, SK, Canada. Despite the higher grain yield on fallow versus stubble, total grain production increased as fallow frequency decreased. The continuous wheat rotation produced 21% more wheat than the rotations with fallow. Wheat protein was highest for the rotation containing the legume green manure. Since its establishment in 2003, a wheat–canola (Brassica napus L.)–wheat–dry pea (Pisum sativum L.) rotation was more profitable than the traditional wheat systems. Participation in a crop insurance program reduced the financial risk from low crop yields, particularly for continuous cropping. We concluded that under current economic conditions and production practices, producers can indeed enhance production levels and farm profitability with adoption of more intensive (reduced fallow) crop rotations, particularly those that also include oilseed and pulse crops.

Core Ideas

Applied N increased seed and oil yield in yellow mustard in a high rainfall environment.

Seeds m−2 was the most influential factor in determining seed yield in yellow mustard.

Applied N increased height, biomass, tissue N content, leaf area index, and crop growth rate.

The response of applied N in yellow mustard (Sinapis alba L.) seed production is unknown in the high rainfall environments of the Pacific Northwest. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of applied N on growth, seed yield, and oil production in yellow mustard in this unique environment. Trials were conducted over 3 yr near Corvallis, OR, on cultivar IdaGold yellow mustard with five N rates: 0, 56, 112, 168, and 224 kg N ha−1. Growth and dry matter partitioning were measured at stem elongation (Biologische Bundesanstalt, Bundessortenamt und CHemische In [BBCH] 30), inflorescence emergence (BBCH 50), and harvest (BBCH 87). Applied N increased height, biomass, leaf area index (LAI), crop growth rate (CGR) and tissue N content. Although rainfall differed among years, N had similar effects on seed yield and yield components. Seed yield increases ranged from 15 to 85% with applied N, primarily as a result of N‐induced increases in seed weight and seed number. Yields ranged from 1010 kg ha−1 with 0 kg N ha−1 to 2579 kg ha−1 with 224 kg N ha−1. Primary racemes plant−1 was positively associated with increased N. Siliques plant−1 increased with N rate and resulted from increased siliques production on mainstem and primary racemes. Seed oil content was inconsistently affected by N rate; however, highest oil yield was observed with 224 kg N ha−1. This study will form the foundation for N recommendations for yellow mustard seed production in the Pacific Northwest.
Conceptos y fundamentos para una crítica del ‘tiempo vulgar’ en Heidegger
Authors: De Bielke Martin Simesen
Published: March 2017

Una crítica del concepto vulgar de tiempo busca explicitar los caracteres básicos de dicho concepto y fundamentalmente las aporías en el planteo. En relación a lo primero, en este artículo se pone énfasis en el carácter “originario” del concepto vulgar, es decir, su conexión con el “tiempo del mundo” y en el nexo de fundamentación que conecta ambos – tiempo vulgar y tiempo del mundo – con la temporalidad originaria del Dasein. En relación a lo segundo (las aporías), el artículo cuestiona los límites de una atribución del concepto vulgar de tiempo a Aristóteles; se discute asimismo la homologación de espacio y tiempo, por un lado, y la relación entre tiempo y presencia por otro, dos presupuestos de la representación tradicional (física y filosófica) del tiempo como medida/parámetro de los cambios en general.
Optimal Wastewater Loading under Conflicting Goals and Technology Limitations in a Riverine System

Published: March 2017

This paper investigates a novel simulation‐optimization (S‐O) framework for identifying optimal treatment levels and treatment processes for multiple wastewater dischargers to rivers. A commonly used water quality simulation model, Qual2K, was linked to a Genetic Algorithm optimization model for exploration of relevant fuzzy objective‐function formulations for addressing imprecision and conflicting goals of pollution control agencies and various dischargers. Results showed a dynamic flow dependence of optimal wastewater loading with good convergence to near global optimum. Explicit considerations of real‐world technological limitations, which were developed here in a new S‐O framework, led to better compromise solutions between conflicting goals than those identified within traditional S‐O frameworks. The newly developed framework, in addition to being more technologically realistic, is also less complicated and converges on solutions more rapidly than traditional frameworks. This technique marks a significant step forward for development of holistic, riverscape‐based approaches that balance the conflicting needs of the stakeholders.

Maternal consumption of alcohol (ethanol) during pregnancy can lead to life-long neurobehavioral and cognitive abnormalities in the offspring, collectively referred to as Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). Prenatal exposure to ethanol is one of the leading causes of non-genetic intellectual disability and FASD is an umbrella category that includes Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, Partial Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, Alcohol Related Birth Defects, and Alcohol Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder. Children with a history of in utero exposure to even moderate levels of ethanol frequently present with varying degrees of a broad assortment of deleterious neurobehavioral and cognitive outcomes. This presents formidable challenges in diagnosing FASD, and therefore in its treatment – on the one hand, the wide range of outcomes is not specific to prenatal exposure to ethanol; on the other hand, the diagnosis, by the very nature of the criteria, is conducted after birth while the primary etiology is clearly embryonic, yet unknown and underexplored. For these and other reasons, targeted and effective treatment options for FASD are lacking or at best, ill defined. The overarching theme driving this perspective is that preclinical investigations on brain development are a prerequisite for advancing our understanding of the embryonic cellular and molecular underpinnings of FASD and its associated abnormalities. In addition, preclinical studies will contribute to identifying therapeutic targets that will complement and broaden the scope of current management of FASD. This will guide the development of data-based strategies for intervention during fetal development, rather than being limited to management in newborns and children when irreversible damage has already been done.

Authors: Malysh I.R. , Zgrzheblovskaya L.V.
Published: March 2017

Стаття присвячена впливу різних способів інфузійної терапії та адреноміметичної корекції на функціональні показники кишечника у постраждалих з розвитком синдрому поліорганної недостатності (СПОН) внаслідок тяжкої політравми. При вивченні показників функціонального стану кишечника в умовах використання протоколу модифікованої інфузійної терапії з урахуванням стадії травматичної хвороби виявилося, що використання цієї стратегії супровождується стабільними рівнями внутричеревного та абдомінального перфузійного тиску, які були у межах референтних значень протягом усього періоду дослідження. При співставленні з даними групи контролю в період розвитку ранньої та пізньої СПОН встановлено, що в групі травмованих із використанням протоколу модифікованої інфузійної терапії з урахуванням стадії травматичної хвороби рівні абдомінального перфузійного тиску виявилися на 8,41–19,35 %, об’єми ентерального харчування — на 26,92–41,50 % вище, в той час як рівень внутричеревного тиску — на 22,39–22,46 % нижче порівняно з даними групи контроля. Використання протоколу модифікованої інфузійної терапії та оптимізованої адреноміметичної корекції з урахуванням стадії травматичної хвороби в умовах ранньої та пізньої СПОН не супроводжувалося розвитком внутрішньочеревної гіпертензії, більш того, на фоні впроваджуваної стратегії відмічалося вірогідне збільшення абдомінального перфузійного тиску, при цьому об’єми ентерального харчування зростали, що свідчило про адекватну перфузію гастроінтестинального тракту на фоні інфузії норадреналіну.

Published: March 2017

Метою даної роботи була оцінка впливу мінімально інвазивної J-подібної стернотомії і поздовжньої серединної стернотомії (ПСС) на ступінь вираженості операційного стресу і системної запальної реакції при протезуванні аортального клапана (ПАК). На підставі обстеження 44 пацієнтів із застосуванням мінімально інвазивного доступу (МІД) і 54 пацієнтів із застосуванням ПСС було показано, що у разі застосування МІД спостерігається менш виражена системна запальна реакція організму, що підтверджується більш низькими концентраціями в плазмі ключових прозапальних цитокінів (фактора некрозу пухлини альфа — у середньому на 5,8 пг/мл (в 1,6 раза), інтерлейкіну-6 — у середньому на 5,3 пг/мл (у 2,3 раза)) та деяких протеїнів гострої фази запалення (С-реактивного протеїну — у середньому на 23,5 мг/л (в 1,8 раза) та концентрації фібриногену — у середньому на 1,3 г/л (в 1,3 раза)). До того ж під час роботи було визначено, що застосування мінімально інвазивного доступу для виконання ПАК порівняно з традиційною поздовжньою серединною стернотомією супроводжується менш вираженою стрес-індукованою перебудовою гормонального гомеостазу, що також об’єктивно підтверджує перевагу мінімально інвазивного доступу над поздовжньою серединною стернотомією.

Authors: Petry Ana Laura Nicoletti Carvalho , Bernardi Manoele Molossi , Morsch Ana Lucia Bernardo de Carvalho
Published: March 2017

Introdução: O câncer de mama é a neoplasia que mais atinge as mulheres brasileiras. A cirurgia é o tratamento mais indicado e no pós-operatório a fisioterapia pode atuar para prevenir possíveis complicações. Objetivos: Verificar os efeitos da fisioterapia na dor pósoperatória, na função pulmonar e na força muscular respiratória em uma mulher no pósoperatório de câncer de mama nos momentos pré e pós-procedimento cirúrgico. Materiais e métodos: Indivíduo, sexo feminino, 61 anos, que realizou mastectomia radical. Foram analisadas as forças musculares respiratórias; a função pulmonar e a dor na mama. Todas as avaliações foram conduzidas nos momentos de avaliação inicial, pós-operatório imediato e pós-execução do protocolo de fisioterapia. O protocolo constou de exercícios específicos para os primeiros quinze dias de pós-operatório que objetivaram alcançar até 90° de amplitude de movimento e outros após quinze dias de pós-operatório com a amplitude de movimento completa (duas séries de 10 repetições de cada exercício). Conclusão: Em relação à dor na mama observou-se um aumento no pós-operatório, reduzindo gradualmente no decorrer das sessões; já a força muscular respiratória e a função pulmonar encontravam-se acima dos valores previstos no pré-operatório, reduzindo no pós-operatório e retornando aos valores esperados (previstos) após as sessões fisioterapêuticas. Os exercícios contribuíram para normalização dos parâmetros respiratórios analisados e melhora da dor na mama, contudo eles não foram capazes de retornar os parâmetros respiratórios aos encontrados no pré-operatório. Entendemos ser importante um tratamento fisioterapêutico precoce em mulheres que realizaram mastectomia, para evitar possíveis complicações e para uma recuperação mais rápida e eficaz.

Introdução: Dependendo da escolha e comportamento do indivíduo perante sua saúde, o trabalho pode afetar sua qualidade de vida, que está associada ao estilo de vida do trabalhador, englobando aspectos como hábitos alimentares, alcoólicos e esportivos. Um dos programas no trabalho que visa estimular comportamentos e atitudes conscientes para uma vida saudável no âmbito ocupacional é a Ginástica Laboral (GL). Objetivo: Comparar o comportamento relacionado à saúde de funcionários praticantes e não praticantes do projeto de extensão em Ginástica Laboral de uma universidade do oeste de Santa Catarina. Materiais e métodos: Pesquisa quantitativa transversal, com 60 sujeitos de 11 setores da Universidade, sendo 30 praticantes e 30 não. Para a coleta de dados, foi utilizado um questionário autoaplicável YRBS e adaptado ao Brasil por Guedes e Lopes. O questionário aborda questões referentes a hábitos alimentares, higiene, sono, álcool, hábitos tabácicos, atividade física, sendo aplicado no próprio local de trabalho no mês dezembro de 2015. Resultados: Não houve diferença significativa entre os dois grupos na maioria dos itens comparados. Notou-se, entretanto, diferença nos hábitos esportivos e alcoólicos, onde se constatou que os não praticantes de GL realizam mais exercícios físicos e bebem menos se comparado aos praticantes. Conclusão: A prática de GL não influenciou nos comportamentos em saúde de praticantes desta pesquisa, fazendo-se necessários novos estudos para sua efetiva comprovação; outra frente que se abre é a necessidade do trabalho da ação extensionista direcionada para o âmbito da educação em saúde dentro do projeto, no sentido do cuidado integral.
Utilization of remote sensing for estimation of scale of cutting and growing of forest zones
Authors: Guliyeva F.E.
Published: March 2017

The study of results of relevant works on remote sensing of forests has shown that the known methods of remote estimation of forest cuts and growth don’t allow to calculate the objective average value of forests cut volume during the fixed time period. The existing mathematical estimates are not monotonous and make it possible to estimate primitively the scale of cutting by computing the ratio of data in two fixed time points. In the article the extreme properties of the considered estimates for deforestation and reforestation models are researched. The extreme features of integrated averaged values of given estimates upon limitations applied on variables, characterizing the deforestation and reforestation processes are studied. The integrated parameter, making it possible to calculate the averaged value of estimates of forest cutting, computed for all fixed time period with a fixed step is suggested. It is shown mathematically that the given estimate has a monotonous feature in regard of value of given time interval and make it possible to evaluate objectively the scales of forest cutting.
American Power: Mary Parker Follett and Michel Foucault
Authors: Pratt Scott L.
Published: March 2017

Classical pragmatism, despite its recognized concern for questions of freedom and democracy, has little to say directly about questions of power. Some commentators have found Dewey’s notion of habit to be a resource for taking up issues of power while others have argued that pragmatism does not provide a sufficiently critical tool to challenge systematic oppression. Still others have proposed to shore up pragmatism by using resources found in post-structuralism, particularly in the work of Foucault. This paper begins with this suggestion, but argues that while Foucault offers a useful starting point his conception of power fails—at least in an American context characterized by the experience of pluralism. I then argue that the pragmatist tradition, through the work of Mary P. Follett (1868-1933) has the theoretical resources to generate a conception of power that begins with the experience of pluralism.

Published: March 2017

Television transmitted over IP (IPTV) presents numerousopportunities for users as well as service providers, and has attracted significant interest from industry as well asresearch communities in recent years. Among the emergingIPTV delivery architectures, the peer-to-peer based deliverymechanism is considered attractive due to the relative ease of service deployment and potential bandwidth savings. However, the question of how well P2PTV networks would support a growing number of users has not been fully investigated so far. In this paper, we try to address this question by studying scalability and efficiency factors in a typical P2P based live streaming network. Through the use of the data provided by a production P2PTV network, we carry out simulations whose results show that there are still hurdles to overcome before P2P based live streaming could become widely deployed.
AODV-UI with Malicious Node Detection and Removal for Public MANET

Published: March 2017

A node in Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) solely depends on neighbor nodes for its connectivity to the outer networks. It is completely different with fixed network connection where a central infrastructure is providing connectivity to the outside network for all mobile nodes there. This kind of situation makes MANET easier to build rather than fixed network with certain infrastructure. However, this nature of MANET makes it very vulnerable to various attacks, especially by nodes within the MANET that is called malicious nodes. This paper provides a preliminary result for MANET security enhancement based on AODV-UI routing protocol. In this work we implement an algorithm to detect and remove malicious nodes in AODV-UI routing protocol. We evaluate our work in different scenarios by varying the number of nodes, the number of malicious node, the sending rate of the node in concern, and the type of the attack i.e. route poisoning, black hole, packet spoofing. Our experiment shows that on average, an attack can be completely removed within 0.48 seconds in the worst case, with the traffic rate of 100 kbps, and 0.04 seconds in the best case, with the sending rate of 10 kbps.

Performativity and the Persistence of the Golem Legend
Authors: Sikes Alan
Published: March 2017

This article investigates The Golem by H. Leivick and posits the 1921 play as a harbinger of the theory of performativity that has had a significant impact upon theatre and performance studies in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. The golem of ancient Jewish legend was a clay figure brought to life through the incantations of learned rabbis. The traditional golem possessed many human qualities but not the uniquely human power of speech – the power that brought it to life. In Leivick’s play, however, the Golem can speak just as eloquently as his creator. This equal access to speech suggests, as do later theorists of performativity, that we are all golems of a sort, created and creating one another through the act of speech itself. This insight has crucial ethical implications for the present day.
Role of T Lymphocytes In Chronic Leukemia

Functional immune cells are required for the prevention or resolution ofimmune-mediated disease , in particular T cells, including helper (CD4+; Th) or cytotoxic (CD8+; Tc) T cells. Th cells differentiate into Th1 or Th2 type cells, through production of inflammatory (IL-2, IFN-a) or anti-inflammatory (IL-4, TGF-ß) cytokines, respectively. Th cells also can differentiate into a third type of Th cells termeds Th17 type cells that produces IL-17 thereby mimicing the effects of Th1 cells. Th type cells can also differentiate under certain conditions into a regulatory (T-reg) type cell capable of secreting immunosuppressive cytokines such as TGF-ß and IL-10. This mini-review discusses the importance of T cell plasticity in regulating the nature of the immune cell responses seen in inflammatory diseases or cancer.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.16(2) 2017 p.207-211
Homage to W.J. Kinsella: With Evocations of Irish Morean Lawyers
Authors: Finan Thomas M.
Published: March 2017

The article recalls some notable Irish contributors to the modern revival and continuation of interest in Thomas More. It begins with a commemoration of William J. Kinsella, late president of the Thomas More Society of Ireland. It goes on to recall briefly the contributions of a number of distinguished Irish-born lawyers since the nineteenth century. All those students of More had one thing in common: they saw in him a man of special interest for modern times –as a witness to unchanging values in an age of change. The article gives particular notice to Richard O’Sullivan– for the range and depth of his legal learning, and his sense of the importance of More in the history of law.
Revising the Revisionists: Modern Criticism of Thomas More
Authors: Young Archibald
Published: March 2017

In Thomas More on statesmanship Gerard Wegemer challenges accounts of More’s thought by Richard Marius and Alistair Fox, who argue that uncertainty characterizes much of More’s work and thinking. While that approach underlines the complex nature of More’s intellectual inquiries, it does not always make sufficient room for his pre-intellectual certainties about God and self. Wegemer is concerned to demonstrate that those certainties formed More’s comprehensively developed philosophy of statesmanship. This thesis has two shortcomings: it leaves little room for the very problematic nature of More’s intellectual life; and it threatens to replace More the man with an ideology that may not be his own.
On Some Antecedents of More’s Epigrams 199, 210, and 214
Authors: Doyle Charles Clay
Published: March 2017

More’s epigrams 199, 210, and 214, brief narratives about a drunkard who goes blind rather than give up alcohol, adapt Martial 6.78. The joke behind More’s and Martial’s poems flourished in jetsbooks of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, as well as in later oral tradition. However, More’s epigrams also belong to an old and continuing tradition of structurally-similar jests (and proverbs associated with those jests) that feature a character who chooses blindness in preference to sexual abstinence.

The stochastic model of the Feynman–Smoluchowski ratchet is proposed and solved using generalization of the Fick–Jacobs theory. The theory fully captures nonlinear response of the ratchet to the difference of heat bath temperatures. The ratchet performance is discussed using the mean velocity, the average heat flow between the two heat reservoirs and the figure of merit, which quantifies energetic cost for attaining a certain mean velocity. Limits of the theory are tested comparing its predictions to numerics. We also demonstrate connection between the ratchet effect emerging in the model and rotations of the probability current and explain direction of the mean velocity using simple discrete analogue of the model.
Tensor Singular Spectrum Decomposition Algorithm Based on Permutation Entropy for Rolling Bearing Fault Diagnosis

Published: March 2017

Mechanical vibration signal mapped into a high-dimensional space tends to exhibit a special distribution and movement characteristics, which can further reveal the dynamic behavior of the original time series. As the most natural representation of high-dimensional data, tensor can preserve the intrinsic structure of the data to the maximum extent. Thus, the tensor decomposition algorithm has broad application prospects in signal processing. High-dimensional tensor can be obtained from a one-dimensional vibration signal by using phase space reconstruction, which is called the tensorization of data. As a new signal decomposition method, tensor-based singular spectrum algorithm (TSSA) fully combines the advantages of phase space reconstruction and tensor decomposition. However, TSSA has some problems, mainly in estimating the rank of tensor and selecting the optimal reconstruction tensor. In this paper, the improved TSSA algorithm based on convex-optimization and permutation entropy (PE) is proposed. Firstly, aiming to accurately estimate the rank of tensor decomposition, this paper presents a convex optimization algorithm using non-convex penalty functions based on singular value decomposition (SVD). Then, PE is employed to evaluate the desired tensor and improve the denoising performance. In order to verify the effectiveness of proposed algorithm, both numerical simulation and experimental bearing failure data are analyzed.

Uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs) are widely used to deliver reliable and high quality power to critical loads under all grid conditions. This paper proposes a high-frequency isolated online UPS system for low power applications. The proposed UPS consists of a single-stage AC-DC converter, boost DC-DC converter, and an inverter. The single-stage AC-DC converter provides galvanic isolation, input power factor correction, and continuous conduction of both input and output current. The low battery bank voltage is stepped up to high dc-link voltage by employing a high voltage gain boost converter, thus allows the reduction of battery bank to only 24 V parallel connected batteries. Operating batteries in parallel improves the battery performance and resolves the issues related to conventional battery banks that arrange the batteries in series combination. The inverter provides regulated output voltage to the load. A new cascaded slide mode (SM) and proportional-resonant (PR) control for the inverter has been proposed, which regulates the output voltage for both linear and non-linear loads. The controller shows excellent performance during load transients and step changes. Besides, the controller for boost converter and AC-DC converter is presented. Operating principle and experimental results of 1 kVA laboratory setup have been presented for the validation of proposed system.
