Published: July 2019

O manejo sustentável da floresta Amazônica é de grande importância para a conservação do bioma, através da utilização racional dos seus recursos, sem levar a total destruição da mesma, minimizando os impactos ecológicos. Uma alternativa de atividade florestal sustentável é o aproveitamento dos resíduos da colheita florestal e do processamento mecânico da madeira. Resíduos oriundos da floresta são desperdiçados, muitas vezes em função de não saberem aproveitá-los ou por falta de opções tecnológicas. A fim de minimizar o desperdício, novas tecnologias devem ser desenvolvidas e empregadas para o aproveitamento e utilização dos resíduos florestais conforme as condições locais, agregando valor à matéria prima, e consequentemente com retorno econômico e social significativo, assegurando a preservação e sustentabilidade dos recursos naturais. O objetivo deste trabalho é de revisar a literatura existente e tentar quantificar os resíduos florestais e da indústria da madeira para incentivar o melhor aproveitamento do mesmo.

Model-Based Health Monitoring of Annular Blowout Preventers
Authors: Wassar Taoufik , Mutlu Mete , Franchek Matthew A. , Hattab Oussama
Published: July 2019

Presented here is an adaptive model–based approach for the real–time condition and health monitoring of annular blowout–preventer (BOP) functions. The proposed approach fuses a first–principles model with in–field data by adapting the model coefficients to match the data. These adapted coefficients are directly interpreted as the annular preventer health indicators. The performance of the proposed adaptive model was evaluated using an annular–BOP digital twin (i.e., Virtual Annular Preventer) implemented in a simulation environment. The model was then adapted using data collected from six different offshore rigs. The resultant model coefficients indicated that the proposed methodology might detect degradation of annular preventers and, hence, provide drillers and subsea engineers with real–time information about the health of the annular–BOP function.

Authors: Gebremichael Gebrewahd Bezabh , Zemichael Teklewoini Mariye
Published: July 2019

Background

Hypoglycemia is an acute medical situation that occurs when blood sugar falls below the recommended level. Even though, hypoglycemia prevention practice in the management of diabetes mellitus is one cornerstone in controlling the effect of hypoglycemia, hypoglycemia prevention practice among patients with diabetes mellitus is insufficiently studied. Moreover, the existed scarce literature in Ethiopia revealed hypoglycemia prevention practice is inadequate. Thus, this study tried to assess hypoglycemia prevention practices and associated factors among diabetic patients.

Methods

Hospital-based, cross-sectional study design was employed from April one to March one 2018 in Central Zone of Tigray Regional state of Ethiopia. A total of 272 diabetes mellitus patients were selected by systematic random sampling method from study area. The collected data was checked for its completeness and then entered into Epi data version 3.1 then cleaned and analyzed using SPSS version 23. Binary logistic regression model (AOR, 95% CI and p-value < 0.05) was used to determine the predictors of hypoglycemia prevention practice.

Results

the mean age of respondents was 52.19 years and about 100 (63.2%) had good hypoglycemia prevention practice. Knowledge regarding hypoglycemia [AOR = 10.34; 95% CI [5.41, 19.89]], having a glucometer at home [AOR=3. 02; 95% CI [1.12, 8.12]], attitude regarding diabetes mellitus [AOR = 2.36 CI [1.26, 4.39]], being governmental employee [AOR=5. 19, 95% CI [1.63, 16.58]] and being divorced [AOR = 0.13, 95% CI [0.32, 0.53]] were found significantly associated with good hypoglycemia prevention practice.

Conclusion

Around two third of the study participants were found to have good hypoglycemia prevention practice. Good knowledge and favorable attitude toward diabetes mellitus, having glucometer at home, being governmental employee and divorced were found to be the predictors of good hypoglycemia prevention practice.

Published: July 2019

Due to special properties of ILs (Ionic Liquids) like their wide liquid range, good solvating ability, negligible vapour pressure, non-inflammability, environment friendly medium, high thermal stability, easy recycling and rate promoters etc. they are used in organic synthesis. The investigation for the replacement of organic solvents in organic synthesis is a growing area of interest due to increasing environmental issues. Therefore, ionic liquids have attracted the attention of chemists and act as a catalyst and reaction medium in organic reaction with high activity. There is no doubt that ionic liquids have become a major subject of study for modern chemistry. In comparison to traditional processes the use of ionic liquids resulted in improved, complimentary or alternative selectivities in organic synthesis. The present manuscript reported the synthesis of multiple nitrogen containing five-membered heterocyclic compounds using ionic liquids. This review covered interesting discoveries in the past few years.
Differential Expression of MARK4 Protein and Related Perturbations in Females with Ovulatory PCOS
Authors: Fazilat Ahmad , Rashid Nadia , Nigam Aruna , Anjum Shadab , Gupta Nimisha , Wajid Saima
Published: July 2019

Background:

Ovulatory PCOS (OPCOS) is the mildest form of the polycystic ovarian syndrome
among all four determined phenotypes. Though the females with OPCOS are ovulating, hyperandrogenism
and polycystic ovarian morphology increase the susceptibility of cardiovascular diseases,
insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia and metabolic syndrome in these females.

Objectives:

The aim of the study was to identify the significance associated with OPCOS phenotype
through serum proteomic profiling of OPCOS females and normal age-matched healthy ovulating females.

Methods:

One and two-dimensional gel-based proteomic approaches were adopted to fractionate the
complex serum proteome. Differential protein profiles generated were analyzed with PD-QUEST
Software. Protein spots differing in intensity by >2-fold were selected and identified further by
MALDI-TOF MS. Validation of identified protein was carried out by Biolayer Interferometry.

Results:

One and two-dimensional gel profiles revealed a differential expression pattern of proteins. 10
selected spots were identified as GMP synthase [glutamine hydrolyzing], zinc finger protein 518A,
pericentriolar material 1 protein, BCLAF1 and THRAP3 family member 3, MAP/microtubule affinityregulating
kinase 4, H/ACA ribonucleoprotein complex subunit 1, Melanoma-associated antigen B3
and Zinc finger protein 658B. Expression of MAP/microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 4 (MARK4)
was found to be downregulated in OPCOS females as compared to controls on validation.

Conclusion:

Reduced expression of MARK4 protein in OPCOS increases the associated risk of hyperlipidemia,
hyperandrogenism and metabolic syndrome, thus the protein holds strong candidature as a
drug target for the syndrome.
Люминесцентные свойства соединений европия(III) с хинолиновой кислотой и фосфорсодержащими нейтральными лигандами
Authors: Калиновская И.В.
Published: July 2019

AbstractLuminescent mixed-ligand europium(III) complexes with quinolinic acid and phosphorus-containing neutral ligands with a dimeric structure of the composition Eu_2(QA)_3 · 3Н_2О, Eu_2(QA)_3 · D · 2Н_2О, where QA is quinolinic acid and D is hmpa (hexamethylphosphortriamide), tppo (triphenylphosphinoxide), (hmpa), or Et_6pa (hexaethylphosphortriamide), are synthesized. The thermal and spectral-luminescent properties of the synthesized complex mixed-ligand europium(III) compounds are studied. It is shown that the detachment of water and neutral ligand molecules during thermolysis occurs in two stages with endothermic effects and that the complex compounds are stable at temperatures up to 320°С. It is found by IR spectroscopy that quinolinic acid coordinates to the europium(III) ion by two carboxylate ions. The low luminescence intensity of mixed-ligand europium(III) quinolinates is explained by inefficient electronic excitation energy transfer from quinolinic acid and phosphorus-containing neutral ligands to europium ions.
Classification and Regression Tree and Computer Adaptive Testing in Cardiac Rehabilitation: Instrument Validation Study
Authors: Peute Linda , Scheeve Thom , Jaspers Monique
Published: July 2019

Background

There is a need for shorter-length assessments that capture patient questionnaire data while attaining high data quality without an undue response burden on patients. Computerized adaptive testing (CAT) and classification and regression tree (CART) methods have the potential to meet these needs and can offer attractive options to shorten questionnaire lengths.

Objective

The objective of this study was to test whether CAT or CART was best suited to reduce the number of questionnaire items in multiple domains (eg, anxiety, depression, quality of life, and social support) used for a needs assessment procedure (NAP) within the field of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) without the loss of data quality.

Methods

NAP data of 2837 CR patients from a multicenter Cardiac Rehabilitation Decision Support System (CARDSS) Web-based program was used. Patients used a Web-based portal, MyCARDSS, to provide their data. CAT and CART were assessed based on their performances in shortening the NAP procedure and in terms of sensitivity and specificity.

Results

With CAT and CART, an overall reduction of 36% and 72% of NAP questionnaire length, respectively, was achieved, with a mean sensitivity and specificity of 0.765 and 0.817 for CAT, 0.777 and 0.877 for classification trees, and 0.743 and 0.40 for regression trees, respectively.

Conclusions

Both CAT and CART can be used to shorten the questionnaires of the NAP used within the field of CR. CART, however, showed the best performance, with a twice as large overall decrease in the number of questionnaire items of the NAP compared to CAT and the highest sensitivity and specificity. To our knowledge, our study is the first to assess the differences in performance between CAT and CART for shortening questionnaire lengths. Future research should consider administering varied assessments of patients over time to monitor their progress in multiple domains. For CR professionals, CART integrated with MyCARDSS would provide a feedback loop that informs the rehabilitation progress of their patients by providing real-time patient measurements.

Published: July 2019

This study evaluated ownersâ€™ characteristics and succession practice among manufacturing Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Ekiti State, Nigeria. It assessed the correlation between achieved characteristics (educational level and experience) of owners of manufacturing enterprises and choice of succession practice; and the extent to which ownersâ€™ situational characteristics (health, spouse, childrenâ€™s readiness) influenced the choice of succession practice. The study employed descriptive design and the population comprised of 136 founders and succeeding owners of registered manufacturing SMEs in Ekiti State. To obtain a sample of 100 participants, stratified sampling techniques were used and Descriptive statistics were also used to profile the respondentâ€™s demography. Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) was employed to determine the association between the demographic and achieved characteristics of owners and succession practice. While multiple regressions were used to analyze learnable and situational characteristics and succession practice the studyâ€™s findings revealed that ownersâ€™ characteristics, expressed as: demographic characteristics, being female (r=0.315, p=0.012); achieved characteristics, higher education (r=0.300. p=0.017) and average experience (r=0.272, p=0.031); learnable characteristics, need for achievement (Î²=0.334, p=0.007) and leadership (Î²=0.288,p=0.035); and situational characteristics of wife (Î²=-0.256,p=0.04) and children (Î²=0.284, p=0.018), were significant variables that influenced succession practice among SMEsâ€™ owners. It concluded that practice and belief in succession practices among SMEs owners is strongly influenced by education, experience, and the desire to leave a legacy. Recommendations include that government should encourage graduates to establish SMEs and managers should strive for organized and dependable families and train their children, to ensure successful succession.

Published: July 2019

OBJECTIVE

To explore the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of once-weekly efpeglenatide, a long-acting glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA), in early type 2 diabetes (T2D) (drug naive or on metformin monotherapy).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

EXCEED 203 was a 12-week, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group, dose-ranging study of efpeglenatide once weekly referenced to open-label liraglutide 1.8 mg (exploratory analysis). Participants, ∼90% on metformin monotherapy, were randomized to one of five efpeglenatide doses (0.3, 1, 2, 3, or 4 mg q.w.; n = 181), placebo (n = 37), or liraglutide (≤1.8 mg daily; n = 36). The primary efficacy end point was change in HbA1c from baseline to week 13.

RESULTS

From a baseline HbA1c of 7.7–8.0% (61.0–63.9 mmol/mol), all efpeglenatide doses ≥1 mg significantly reduced HbA1c versus placebo (placebo-adjusted least squares [LS] mean changes 0.6–1.2%, P < 0.05 for all) to a final HbA1c of 6.3–6.8% (45.4–50.6 mmol/mol); masked efpeglenatide 4 mg was noninferior to open-label liraglutide. Greater proportions treated with efpeglenatide ≥1 mg than placebo achieved HbA1c <7% (61–72% vs. 24%, P < 0.05 for all), and greater reductions in body weight were observed with efpeglenatide 3 and 4 mg versus placebo (placebo-adjusted LS mean differences −1.4 and −2.0 kg, respectively, P < 0.05 for both). Rates of nausea and vomiting were consistent with other GLP-1 RAs and rapidly subsided after the initial 2 weeks. No neutralizing antibodies were detected with efpeglenatide.

CONCLUSIONS

Efpeglenatide once weekly led to significant reductions in HbA1c and weight, with a safety profile consistent with the GLP-1 RA class in patients with early T2D mostly on metformin monotherapy.

Appendiceal epithelial tumors are a rare finding in comparison with the incidence of colorectal cancer that is approximately 100-fold higher. As appendiceal neoplasms and colorectal cancer have a different clinical and tumoral behavior, these tumors are classified separately in the various tumor classifications. Most appendiceal neoplasms are found during surgery or postoperatively in appendectomy specimens. Given the possibility of neoplastic peritoneal dissemination, the lack of symptoms is a serious problem.

However, the percentage of appendiceal tumors that is incidentally discovered by imaging is increasing over time. Primary adenocarcinoma of the appendix is exceedingly rare and frequently has an extremely poor prognosis because it is diagnosed in advanced stages.

Published: July 2019

The influence of chilling period hours and accumulative photo-thermal unit at different base temperatures, 10, 11, 13, 15, and 18 °C, on the flowering of strawberry was examined in Sana’a University-Yemen during two seasons: 2006 and 2007. The randomized complete block design (RCBD) field experiment was designed with 5 chilling hours (CHs) periods (0, 360, 750, 1080, and 1440 CHs under 2 ± 1 °C), with four replicates each. Accumulative photo-thermal unit (PTU) was calculated for every treatment at different base temperatures for two stages: (i) from planting date to the flower opening (THA) and (ii) from planting date until the end of 2 months (THB). The results revealed that the plants treated with 1080 h of chilling produced flowers with about 55.12% and 61.97% earlier when compared with control (without chilling) in both the seasons, respectively. Stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that both CHs and the accumulative PTU THA13 (in the first season) and CH plus THA10 (in the second season) have significant effect on days until flower opening, in which the majority effect was related to the chilling period. The effect of chilling period and accumulative PTU at 18 °C (THB18) had s significant influence (p < 0.05) on the number of early flower per plant, with about r2 = 0.250 and r2 = 0.536 in both the seasons, respectively, and r2 = 0.531 and r2 =0.740 for the total effect of both CH and THB18, respectively. However, the exposure of plants to the long period of chilling (1080 and 1440 h) led the plants to produce runners and break up the flowering stage after 9 and 11 weeks in both the seasons, respectively. Meanwhile, plants that received 360-h chilling produced significantly highest (p < 0.05) total number of flowers (24.83 per plant), with about 71.2% higher than that produced by control plants. Moreover, in the second season, plants treated with 750-h chilling produced the significantly higher total number of flowers per plant, with about 50.3% higher than that of the control. Meanwhile, the 360-h and 750-h chilling periods have similar effect on the number of flowers per plant in the second season. The result showed that the starch level in the crown significantly positively correlated with the days to flower opening (r2 = 0.415, p = 0.05) and negatively correlated with the number of early flower (r2 = 0.587, p = 0.01). The data from this study might be used for the management of strawberry production.
Growth, Evapotranspiration and Mineral Content of Gerbera Under Combined Salinity and Excess Boron
Authors: Gómez Bellot María José , Carmassi Giulia , Bartalucci Manuele , Sánchez-Blanco María Jesús , Pardossi Alberto
Published: July 2019

Gerbera is a very important plant widely grown for cut flowers. To check the influence of salinity and boron excess in nutrient solution, nine treatments as factorial combination of three sodium chloride (NaCl) (1, 15 and 30 mM) and three boron (B) (0.1, 1 and 2 mM) concentrations in the nutrient solution were applied during the gerbera cultivation. The effects of experimental treatments on gerbera growth, flowering and the interaction in morphological and nutritional aspects were tested. The formation of leaves, stems and flowers, flower dry mass and evapotranspiration (ET) were more negatively affected when plants were irrigated with 2 mM B than with 0.1 mM B concentration. High levels of boron (1 and 2 Mm) in nutrient solution resulted in leaf chlorosis and necrosis. The severity of leaf burn was correlated with leaf B content. Salinity acted as a protector against boron content in leaves and flowers at 1 Mm B. However, at the 2 Mm B in nutrient solution, leaf B accumulation was not reduced by the presence of NaCl but also increased with the increased levels of salinity. The external levels of boron used in this study, which were found to be the highest in the literature, and the high sensitivity of gerbera to boron, suggested that boron acted as the dominant factor. Lower external boron concentrations would be needed to establish to what extent salinity would be able to mitigate the negative effects of boron.

Trata-se de um duplo movimento, cujo (des) encontro edifica a realidade do testemunho: a impossibilidade de dizer, que se torna existente por uma possibilidade de falar. Assim, é pelas noções de testemunha (AGAMBEN, 2008) e de língua em funcionamento (BENVENISTE, 1970/2006) que este estudo se organiza, mais precisamente, mediante o caráter enunciativo da linguagem que circunscreve uma expressão própria da cultura brasileira: o samba de raiz. Na cultura do samba, questiona-se: qual a relação entre a testemunha e o testemunho do sambista que se marca como sujeito do seu dizer no samba de raiz quando, ao empregar a língua, traz nela os valores de uma sociedade? O que se testemunha nesse samba de raiz? Ao tomar a enunciação como guia desta reflexão, o samba de raiz não se reduz a um enunciado em si que se estrutura apenas com as formas da língua; o que interessa é a sua existência, o fato de o samba de raiz ter um lugar único na cultura brasileira.
A OUVIDORIA À LUZ DA ANÁLISE DE CONTEÚDO
Authors: Lombardi Leandro , Bevilacqua Solon
Published: July 2019

Vistas como um instrumento de participação social, as ouvidorias públicas possuem a distinta função de aproximar os cidadãos das instituições. Com o objetivo de aprimorar o processo de resolução de problemas e dos pedidos de informação, neste estudo foram aplicadas técnicas estatísticas nos termos linguísticos de uma base textual de solicitações remetidas à ouvidoria. Utilizando a metodologia de Análise de Conteúdo e com o auxílio do programa Iramuteq, foi proposta uma tipologia personalizada para a classificação das demandas recebidas pelas ouvidorias por meio das técnicas de Classificação Hierárquica Descendente e de Análise Fatorial por Correspondência. Espera-se que a nova proposta sirva para o fortalecimento da relação cidadão-instituição ao adequar os trabalhos realizados pelas ouvidorias às necessidades do seu público demandante, além de estimular a replicação da metodologia em outras organizações, sejam elas públicas ou privadas.

Caso Exuberante de Larva Migrans Cutânea
Authors: Rodrigues Felipe Tavares , Aziz Silva Patrícia Gomes , D´Acri Antônio Macedo , Martins Carlos José
Published: July 2019

A larva migrans cutânea (LMC) é uma dermatozoonose caracterizada por uma erupção cutânea de lesões eritematosas, habitualmente com relevo, pápulo-vesiculosas, de distribuição linear ou serpiginosa e, na maioria das vezes, pruriginosa. É causada pela penetração e migração intraepidérmica de três possíveis espécies de larvas de nematóides. Os maiores índices de transmissão ocorrem nas regiões tropicais costeiras, onde as larvas podem migrar livremente em solos arenosos e onde, além disso, a temperatura quente e a humidade são ideais para a sua viabilidade. Relata-se o caso de um paciente do sexo masculino, de 51 anos, leucodérmico que desenvolveu uma dermatose pruriginosa, extensa, envolvendo dorso, flanco, fossa ilíaca e membro inferior, à direita. As lesões surgiram cerca de sete dias após a prática de desporto e lazer em terreno relvado. Após revisão da literatura científica, analisamos os aspectos epidemiológicos, parasitológicos, clínicos, laboratoriais e terapêuticos inerentes ao tema larva migrans cutânea é uma afecção dermatológica comum em países tropicais e subtropicais, sendo de suma importância o seu pronto reconhecimento e manejo terapêutico para uma cura rápida com baixo grau de morbidade.
The Book – a Source of Knowledge? (Subjective Semantics of Lexemes Book, Computer, Tablet, Internet)
Authors: Butakova L. O.
Published: July 2019

The purpose of the article is to model and analyze fragments of the language consciousness of schoolchildren associated with modern and traditional sources of information. The material for the study are the results of associative experiments conducted in several stages in 2015–2018. The author used psycholinguistic method of a free associative experiment with the subsequent construction of the traditional and cognitive structure of the associative field to determine the composition of the resulting components of the incentive semantics. The identification of trends in semantic development was carried out using the method of semantic comparison of the resulting field structures with essays on the themes «If there were no computers and tablets ...», «Read or see?», «If there were no books, then ...». The results of the research are descriptions of cognitive structures of associative fields, identifying a significant number of layers in them, establishing similarities and differences in their semantic composition, creating semantic portraits of stimuli, identifying the leading semantic areas of the texts of the works, which reflect the composition of the actualized components of these fragments. Conclusions: the intersection of the semantic areas of these phenomena with the global categories “knowledge”, “entertainment”, “person”, “information” in schoolchildren’s consciousness, the relevance of meanings ‘development / degradation’, ‘mind / stupidity’; ‘health, benefit / harm’; the stability of the lines of interaction between the semantic areas «Internet», «Computer», «Tablet», «Game», «Information», «Communication», the subjects (who are in friendly and family relations especially); the relevance of the semantic space of the game in the AF «Computer», «Tablet», «Internet», the space of knowledge in the AF «Book»; the age specificity of the composition of the fields, the appearance with different frequency of reactions associated with school, study; depletion of associative fields in recent experiments.

Published: July 2019

The tax amnesties have been used as economic performance tool to promote economic development, collection of public revenues in the short run and improvement of tax compliance in the country. The Republic of Kosovo has practiced their application twice during the past 10 years. The main purpose of this study is to provide practical guidance on the required actions for a successful tax amnesty. The survey method is used for data collection. Data processing is done through SPSS and statistical techniques. The major findings revealed key practices for a successful tax amnesty. Evidence has shown that most businesses which had previously evaded taxes are now regular taxpayers after the tax amnesty. Therefore, according to the results it is concluded that the success of tax amnesty depends on the fulfillment of certain conditions such as; the confidentiality of the tax amnesty beneficiaries, the time to take advantage from tax amnesty should be sufficient, facilitating tax amnesty procedures should encourage participation in the amnesty, it should be clear that no other tax amnesties will be repeated in the future, tax offices must be equipped with advanced technology and serious and strict sanctions must be applied after the tax amnesty.

Migração internacional pendular em fronteira: em busca de qualificações espaciais
Authors: Oliveira Marco Aurélio Machado , Loio Joanna Amorim de Melo
Published: July 2019

O objetivo deste artigo é marcar no campo metodológico da migração internacional a pendularidade em fronteira como aspecto relevante. Para tanto, entendemos que trabalhar com fronteira e migração internacional como junção temática exige cuidados, pois ambas as categorias são, comumente, carregadas de ideias advindas do senso comum que as localizam perifericamente nos entendimentos e discursos sobre a nação e a sociedade, tais como: provisoriedades, precariedades, ilicitudes. Os procedimentos metodológicos utilizados foram: revisão bibliográfica visando adequações às categorias abordadas; e, realização de entrevistas com sujeitos pendulares. O resultado foi a constatação de complexidades peculiares a esse grupo de imigrantes no espaço em que atuam.

The correlation between the traits allows making an indirect selection, while the selection according to one trait results in the selection of another indicator. The purpose of the work is to estimate the variability of quantitative traits of Sudan grass and the correlations between them, to identify marker traits of high productivity and quality of green mass. There have been presented the study results of 115 collection samples of Sudan grass with various environmental and geographical origin of the Rostov region made in 2014-2018. There was a great variability (V=29.7-50.0%) in tillering, leaf square, green mass yield, stem diameter, plant height among the studied varieties.  The percentage of fiber and nitrogen-free extractive substances in the green mass of the studied Sudanese grass samples were characterized with high stability (V = 4.9-5.0%). The analysis has identified a strong correlation between green mass productivity and leaf length (r=0.59±0.01), leaf width (r=0.57±0.02), leaf square (r=0.54±0.03), plant height (r=0.48±0.06), length of ‘vegetation-ear formation’ period (r=0.48±0.004) and number of leaves (r=0.42±0.03). There has been identified a group of samples ‘Boldinsky’, ‘Fioros’, ‘К-176’, ‘К-205, ‘К-272’ with 35-55 t/ha green mass productivity and with 20.5-24.5% dry matter in green mass. The conducted analysis has shown that dry matter percentage greatly correlates with plant height (r=0.30±0.001), vegetation period (r=0.34±0.004) and number of leaves (r=0.26±0.006). The markers of high productivity and quality of green mass are length of a vegetation period and number of leaves (their increase results in the growth of green mass yields), dry matter percentage in green mass and protein decrease in it.
