Authors: Loy N. N. , Gulina S. N.
Published: October 2018

The effect of presowing seed treatment on various concentrations of dicarboxylic (organic) acids on the sowing characteristics of spring barley has been studied. Seeds were treated with organic acids obtained by exposing cuttings to the radiation with a dose of 100 kGy and consequent hydrolysis, in concentrations: 1•10-7 %; 1•10-9; 1•10-11; 1•10-13 and 1•10-15 % on a laboratory rotary machine RVO-64 for one day before laying for germination. Distilled water was used for the control case. The rate of application of the working solution calculated as 10 liters / ton of seeds. Seeds were germinated in filter paper rolls in accordance with GOST 12038-84 requirements. The temperature was maintained at +24 ° C in the thermostat where the glasses with rolls were placed. For determination of germinative power and laboratory germination the sprouted seeds were evaluated after three and seven days, respectively. In laboratory experiments it was established that the treatment of barley seeds of varieties Zazersky 85, Nur and Vladimir with organic acids (OK) in different concentrations had both a stimulating and a negative effect. On the Zazersky 85 variety, in variants with acid concentrations of 1•10-9 and 1•10-11, an increase in germination energy (EP) by 2-4% and a significant decrease (by 3-4%) of laboratory germination (LV) of barley seeds were noted. On the Nur variety, the increase in EP was observed at 4% (concentration 1•10-11), LV and seed growth force (CPC) by 2-7% at a concentration of 1•10-7 and in the dose range 1•10-11 - 1•10-14 compared to the control values. On the grade of Vladimir, an increase in EP, LV, and CPC was found to increase by 1-6% at concentrations OK 1•10-7 and 1•10-13. It was shown that the treatment of seeds with acids led to an increase in the length of the germ in all studied varieties (by 3-9%) and dry biomass of 7-day-old seedlings - by 3-6%. Consequently, the treatment of seeds with a mixture of dicarboxylic acids has a stimulating effect on the sowing quality of spring barley.

The complex of environmental factors of the Middle Amur region has a significant impact on the development of spring wheat diseases caused by different pathogens. The aim of this research was studying the influence of ecological factors of the Middle Amur region on the development of infection and establishing the correlation between climatic factors during the main periods of plant growth and development and disease severity. The research was conducted in 2011-2015 in cereal-soybean rotation on a meadow-brown heavy loamy soil. Soil characteristics: humus (by Tyurin) - 4.6%; P2O5 (by Kirsanov) - 4,3 mg/100 g of soil; K2O (by Maslova) - 20 mg/100 g of soil; pH of arable layer’s salt extract - 4,8...5,0. The object of research - spring wheat diseases: fusarium head blight, root rot and helminthosporiosis. The level of disease severity was measured according to the methods of state varieties testing, field surveys on root rots were conducted twice: during the booting ang milk ripening stages; on spot blotch and fusarium head blight - during the ear emergence and dough stages. Fusarium head blight development in the interphase (seedling growth - tillering) in the conditions of the Middle Amur region is affected by precipitation (r = 0,624) and high surface air temperatures (r = 0,654). In the subsequent periods of plant growth and development heavy rainfall restrains disease dispersal (r = -0,832), high surface air temperatures create worse conditions for pathogens development as well. Hydrothermal conditions of the Middle Amur region from sowing till flowering play little and unstable role in the development of helminthosporium disease of spring wheat. During the flowering-ripening period a strong negative correlation was found between helminthosporiosis severity and precipitation (r = - 0,851). High air temperatures inhibit helminthosporium development, as evidenced by the determined correlation dependance (r = -0,809). The root rot infection in the Middle Amur region conditions appear at different stages of plant development, and weather conditions of the whole growing season contribute to its formation.
MONITORING OF BLACK CURRANT VARIETIES RESISTANCE TO COLUMNAR RUST
Authors: Bakhotskaya А. Yu. , Knyazev S. D.
Published: October 2018

As a result of the studies, we found that the bulk of the studied black currant varieties are more or less susceptible to columnar rust. Both derivatives of the European, Siberian subspecies and dikusha currant and species obtained with usage Scandinavian subspecies are characterized by high sensibility to this disease. In the European zone the most widespread and harmful are the fungal diseases of black currant - septoriosis, anthracnose, powdery mildew. Substantial damage to this culture plantations is caused by epiphytoty which repeated every three to four years. In contrast to American mildew, columnar rust intensely affects plants during the mass ripening of berries, which makes it difficult to carry out protective measures. The most effective method for solving this problem was the remote hybridization which is participation of wild species with the necessary characteristics, but their involvement leads to deceleration of the selection process, as apart from the necessary characteristics they have those that reduce the value of hybrid progeny, and it takes several hybrid generations to achieve the necessary results. In the Institute on the base on disjoining of hybrid progeny was established the oligogenic nature of the inheritance of resistance to columnar rust in currant derivatives. It was revealed that it confers immunity to columnar rust in addition combines immunity with American powdery mildew. As a result, the Re gene was identified, as well as Kipian and Gamma varieties, which are actively used as immunity donors. Assessment of varieties for resistance to diseases and pests was carried out in the areas of primary variety testing according to the methodology for the study of fruit, berry and nut-bearing crops.

Published: October 2018

At the Dagestan experimental station, 360 samples of barley were studied from the world gene pool of the VIR named after NI Vavilov.  The sample was represented by 2- and 6-row, winter and spring, of different eco-geographical origin forms of culture. As a result of the long-term laboratory-field studies, samples with a productivity of more than 500 g / m2 were identified with an average sample size of 200-400 g. The Isp value of the noted varieties >1, therefore, they can be classified as ecologically plastic varieties. Samples of double-row barley are morphologically characterized by a combination of increased productive bushiness with a smaller number of spikelets, respectively, and grains in the ear than the six-row barley.  Theoretically, one would expect that with the development of plants and the formation of a crop under favorable conditions, low productive bushiness of 6-row forms is compensated by a large number of spikelets and grains in the ear; a smaller number of spikelets and grains in the ear in 2-row rows - high productive bushiness. At the same time, the significance of morphological differences in subspecies in the formation of their final productivity would not be significant. However, in the study area, six-rowed barley is more affected by the widespread Swedish fly (the factor that limits crop yield in the region) than double-rowed and in general the samples of the distichon L. subspecies exceed those of vulgare L. over the final crop. The frequency of occurrence of productive forms is higher among two-row barley. On the basis of the analysis of the results of many years of research, taking into account that the factors affecting the harvest of barley in this zone are plant damage caused by fungal diseases, damage to the Swedish fly, lodging, and salinization, we consider it economically more efficient to cultivate, in conditions of irrigated farming, southern Dagestan  with the corresponding characteristics.

Published: October 2018

The study of repeatability of milk yield of Brown Swiss, Sychevsky and Black-and-White cows of the method of correlation analysis and analysis of variance revealed overall for the three breeds, the relation between the milk yield during the productive life of the animal. The value of the coefficient of repeatability for milk yield for any of the lactations with maximum and average for the life that is comparable and exceeds the magnitude of the relationship between the yields of adjacent lactations. At lifetime variation of milk yield of cows, their level as a whole remains and is defined by milk yield for the first lactation. Research was carried out based on the data of in-farm pedigree records in the "SELEX-Dairy Livestock" breeding program of the breeding farms of the Smolensk Region for: the brown Schwitz livestock breeding reproducer of the SPK "Druzhba", the Sychevskoe stud farm of the PK KP "Rybkovskoe", the black-and-white of the collective farm of the stud farm "Radischevo". Milk yields at standard or finished shortened lactation periods were analyzed. Derived regularities form a basis for sufficiently precise forecasting of milk yields for adjacent lactation based on lactation of any type (shortened or standard), as well as the maximum and mean milk yield per life.

Assessing the stewardship maturity of individual datasets is an essential part of ensuring and improving the way datasets are documented, preserved, and disseminated to users. It is a critical step towards meeting U.S. federal regulations, organizational requirements, and user needs. However, it is challenging to do so consistently and quantifiably. The Data Stewardship Maturity Matrix (DSMM), developed jointly by NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) and the Cooperative Institute for Climate and Satellites–North Carolina (CICS-NC), provides a uniform framework for consistently rating stewardship maturity of individual datasets in nine key components: preservability, accessibility, usability, production sustainability, data quality assurance, data quality control/monitoring, data quality assessment, transparency/traceability, and data integrity. So far, the DSMM has been applied to over 900 individual datasets that are archived and/or managed by NCEI, in support of the NOAA’s OneStop Data Discovery and Access Framework Project. As a part of the OneStop-ready process, tools, implementation guidance, workflows, and best practices are developed to assist the application of the DSMM and described in this paper. The DSMM ratings are also consistently captured in the ISO standard-based dataset-level quality metadata and citable quality descriptive information documents, which serve as interoperable quality information to both machine and human end-users. These DSMM implementation and integration workflows and best practices could be adopted by other data management and stewardship projects or adapted for applications of other maturity assessment models.

The magnitude of this streak selection bias generally decreases as the sequence gets longer, but increases in streak length, and remains substantial for a range of sequence lengths often used in empirical work. We observe that the canonical study in the influential hot hand fallacy literature, along with replications, are vulnerable to the bias. Upon correcting for the bias we find that the long-standing conclusions of the canonical study are reversed.

Published: October 2018

This study aims to detect the determinants of plywood exports in Indonesia based on the Gravity model. Problems that occur are related to inefficient and effective exports. The analytical method uses Vector Autoregression with a single equation using a gravity model to analyze the factors that influence the flow of Indonesian plywood trade. The assumption results using Vector Autoregression (VAR), shows the results of the relationship between GDP, POP, ER, P, Dt and Vol with lag 1, this can be concluded that by observing the t-statistics of each coefficient, the reciprocal relationship between the variables GDP, POP, ER, P, Dt and Vol are statistically significant. Another variable besides the variable itself that has the most significant contribution to GDP is the distance t-1. The variable that has the most significant contribution to the population other than the population itself is Price (P) t-1. The variable that has the most significant contribution to ER besides the ER variable itself is Population. The variable that has the most significant contribution to Price (P) is the GDP variable. Other variables that have the most significant contribution to Distance (Dt) other than the Distance variable itself are variables of Indonesian Plywood Export Volume. Other variables that have the most significant contribution to Indonesia Plywood Export Volume in addition to the Indonesian Lapis Wood Export Volume variable itself are Population.

Mapping Meditative States and Stages with Electrophysiology: Concepts, Classifications, and Methods
Authors: Schoenberg Poppy , Vago David R
Published: October 2018

Exploration of human consciousness remains a final frontier within basic neuroscience; that is, how the finite biological structure and function of the brain gives rise to the seemingly infinite expanse that encompasses the terrain of the mind. Contemporary mindfulness and other contemplative practices across historical and post-modern traditions involve systematic forms of mental training that allow the practitioner to develop the mind in very specific and quantifiable ways. Some fundamental questions pertain to this scientific enquiry; (1) how to concisely classify discrete and developmentally-specific “mind states” of consciousness that are in line with the subtle complex phenomenology of experience so to yield ontological quantifications? (2) what measures best represent such classification/quantification systems? (3) can the present electrophysiological purview map developmentally-specified mind states and stages to neurobiological substrates, based on extant contention (i.e. discrete EEG band functionality, phenomenological significance, and underlying mechanisms) regarding the interpretation of EEG physiology?
Using n-level Structural Equation Models for Causal Modeling in Fully Nested, Partially Nested, and Cross-Classified Randomized Controlled Trials
Authors: Petscher Yaacov , Schatschneider Chris
Published: October 2018

Complex data structures are ubiquitous in psychological research, especially in educational settings. In the context of randomized controlled trials, students are nested in classrooms but may be cross-classified by other units, such as small groups. Further, in many cases only some students may be nested within a unit while other students may not. Such instances of partial nesting requires a more flexible framework for estimating treatment effects so that the model coefficients are correctly estimated. Although several recommendations have been offered to the field on handling partially nested data, few are comprehensive in their treatment of manifest and latent variables in the context of partial nesting, full nesting, and cross-classification. The present study introduces n-level SEM (Mehta, 2013a) a flexible measurement and analytic framework for the estimation of treatment effects for complex data structures that frequently present in randomized controlled trials. In this tutorial, we explore how the notation of n-level SEM allows for parsimonious model specification whether data are observed or latent and in the presence of partial nested or cross-classified designs. By using the xxm package in R, the advantage of using n-level SEM framework is demonstrated through five examples for single outcome manifest variables, as in the traditional multilevel model, as well as latent applications as in multilevel SEM.
High Socioeconomic Status Predicts Substance Use And Alcohol Consumption In U.S. Undergraduates
Authors: Martin Chris C.
Published: October 2018

In health sociology, the prevailing consensus is that socioeconomic status lowers illness risk. This model neglects the fact that unhealthful consumption patterns may covary with affluence. The current study examines consumption of drugs and alcohol among affluent U.S. college students. I hypothesized that undergraduate students from high-SES households would have high rates and levels of drug and alcohol consumption. Using data from 18,611 18- to 24-year-old undergraduates across 23 public and private institutions, I found that high-SES undergraduates were more likely than peers to use marijuana, choose varied drugs, consume alcohol frequently, and use alcohol and substances to cope with stress. The first three results were robust after controlling for gender, race, residence type, and relationship status. Marital status and race were stronger predictors than SES—Asians and married students were the least likely to use alcohol and drugs.
The Biblical Idea of Creation and Its Ethical Interpretation in the Philosophy of Levinas
Authors: Klun Branko
Published: October 2018

[Figure: see text]

Levinas provides an original interpretation of the biblical idea of creation ex nihilo, which goes beyond the traditional understanding in terms of divine power and fabrication. In the first part, this article presents the challenge that the idea of creation poses to traditional logic and ontology by referring to Maimonides’s advocacy of creation in opposition to Aristotle’s assumption of the eternity of the world. Levinas repeats Maimonides’s gesture by enlarging the notion of logos and transposing the idea of creation from the ontological realm to the ethical domain of interpersonal relations. In the second part, it shows how Levinas subjects the idea of creation to a phenomenological reduction, tracing its representational content back to the paradoxical experience of “createdness” within the subject itself. The original meaning of creation is to be sought in relation to the ethical call of the other (person), and within the subject’s passive condition qua responsibility. In this way, the initially religious idea of creation receives a broader philosophical significance as it draws upon a common human experience.

Background : Has conducted a study of differences in anatomical image information on sequences Gradient Echo T2* to the neutral position and the Abduction and External Rotation in Radiology Panti Rapih Yogyakarta Hospital. Abduction and External Rotation positions are positions that obtained when the patient is in the supine position with the hands under the head, resulting in external rotation and abduction of the humerus. This position is useful to show the subtle picture of the infraspinatus tendon and anterior labrum is normal and can detect abnormalities of the rotator cuff. The neutral position is a position that is obtained when the patient supine with the shoulder and arm parallel to the body with a neutral or slightly towards the external rotation. The purpose of this study is to determine the difference and which one is a better position to produce anatomical image information between sequences Gradient Echo T2* with  a neutral position and Abduction and External Rotation MRI of shoulder joint.Methods : This research is a quantitative research with experimental approach. The study was conducted at Radiology Installation Panti Rapih Yogyakarta Hospital, the data in the form of 10 image sequences Gradient Echo T2* use a neutral position and 10 image sequences Gradient Echo T2* use position Abduction and External Rotation MRI of shoulder joint of 10 volunteers. Ratings are subjective images of the two respondents include the glenoid labrum, rotator cuff, joint space, border line and fluid in accordance with the level of clarity. Analysis of the data from the second respondent in kappa test (Realibility inter observer) to determine the level of common perception (measure of agreement) of the respondents after the data is selected from one of the respondents and the wilcoxon test for the presence or no difference between the two positions.Result : Results wilcoxon test in this study expressed a significant difference between the neutral position and the position of Abduction and External Rotation in total one image (the value of ρ 0.001), and percriteria namely the glenoid labrum (value ρ: 0,025), rotator cuff (the value of ρ: 0,008 ), joint space (value ρ: 0,025), borderline (value ρ: 0,005), and fluid (value ρ: 0,014), of the value of ρ total of one image with a value of ρ percriteria can be concluded that the sequences Gradient Echo T2 * use position Abduction and External Rotation can generate image information of shoulder joint anatomical MRI better than on sequences Gradient Echo T2* use a neutral position.Conclusion : There was a significant difference in the overall image information between the Gradient Echo T2* sequences using neutral position and Abduction and External Rotation position in total image with a p-value of  0.001 (p0.05).

Bu makale, Guy Debord’un Gösteri Toplumu başlıklı eserinden yola çıkarak kent imgesini gösteri kavramı üzerine inşa etmeye ve İstanbul imgesinin Türk sineması örneklerinde nasıl temsil edildiğini keşfetmeye çalışmaktadır. Metnin bölümleri, kent imgesini merkez alarak Italo Calvino’nun Görünmez Kentler isimli kitabındaki bölümlerin adları üzerinden tematik olarak kurgulanmıştır. İlk bölüm, Kentler ve Arzu, gösteri tanımının içindeki düşlerden ve arzulardan bahsetmektedir. Arzu kavramı, meta fetişizminden yola çıkarak tüketim alışkanlıkları ve tüketilmiş kent hayatı ile ilişkilendirilmektedir. İkinci bölüm, Kentler ve Göstergeler, mekân üretimini göstergeler zinciri ile açıklamaya çalışır. Üçüncü ve son bölüm olan Kentler ve Gözler ise masalsı anlatım ve düşsel imgelerin yerini alan suçun kol gezdiği karanlık arka sokakları, acımasız hayat koşullarını ve kent imgesinin çöküşünü betimlemektedir. Bu üç tematik kategori paralelinde ilerleyen kurgusal yapıda, Türk sinemasından seçilen üç örnek film, Eşkıya (Yavuz Turgul, 1996), Ağır Roman (Mustafa Altıoklar, 1997) ve Anlat İstanbul (Kudret Sabancı, Ümit Ünal, Ömür Atay, Selim Demirdelen, Yücel Yolcu, 2004) sundukları farklı temsil biçimleriyle kent imgesinin barındırdığı anlamları ortaya koymaktadır.
An empirical comparison among quality measures for pattern based classifiers

Measuring the quality of a contrast pattern is an active and relevant area of pattern recognition and data mining. Quality measures are important tools in very different scenarios like supervised classification, pattern based clustering, and association rule mining. Consequently, and due to the large collection of available measures, it is important to perform comparative studies for each particular context. Most published studies comparing quality measures are theoretical and in the context of association rule evaluation. In this paper, we present an empirical comparison of the behavior of 33 quality measures in the context of supervised classification and contrast pattern filtering. A comprehensive experimentation using several databases compares the behavior of these measures in three different contexts: as aggregation value, as pattern evaluation for classification, and as pattern evaluation for filtering. Experiments also show that top-accurate quality measures for classification have a deceptive performance for pattern filtering, because they cannot distinguish among patterns with zero support in the negative class.
Generalizing the Mahalanobis distance via density kernels
Authors: Martos Gabriel , Muñoz Alberto , González Javier
Published: October 2018

The Mahalanobis distance (MD) is a distance widely used in Statistics, Machine Learning and Pattern Recognition. When the data come from a Gaussian distribution, the MD uses the covariance matrix to evaluate the distance between a data point and the distribution mean. In this paper, we generalize the MD for general unimodal distributions, introducing a particular class of Mercer kernel, the density kernel, based on the underlying data density. Density kernels induce distances that generalize the MD and that are useful when data do not fit to the Gaussian distribution. We study the theoretical properties of the proposed distance and show its performance on a variety of artificial and real data analysis problems.
Addressing the validation of overlapping clustering algorithms
Authors: Rosales-Méndez Henry , Ramírez-Cruz Yunior
Published: October 2018

The validation of overlapping clusterings has gained considerable attention in the last years, as it represents a fundamental step towards achieving reliable clustering algorithms, still being largely considered as an open question. A number of measures have been proposed for validating overlapping clusterings, but it remains unclear which one is the most convenient. Most existing external measures aim to validate partitional clusterings, even when most real-life problem involve overlapping clustering scenarios. In this paper, we propose a new external measure specifically designed for validating overlapping clusterings, which fulfills the main set of desirable conditions presented in the literature. We also show that our proposal correctly handles situations where previous measures display undesirable performances.
