Field experiments were carried out during kharif season from 2015 to 2017 in randomized block design with three replications. There were five graded levels of phosphorus application viz., 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 P2O5 kg/ha. Seed yield increased significantly with application of 20 P2O5 kg/ha. The increase in mean seed and stalk yield was 6.1, 13.2, 15.4 and 18.0% and 6.2, 14.3, 17.6 and 19.9% due to application of 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 P2O5 kg/ha, respectively over control. Application of 20 kg P2O5/ha recorded significantly higher protein content (21.10%) and oil content (48.69%) in seed, which was statistically at par with 30 and 40 kg P2O5/ha. P use efficiency varied from 14.1 to 20.3% and was maximum (20.3%) with application of 20 P2O5 kg/ha. The mean post-harvest available P status was 9.9, 11.3, 12.7, 13.5 and 14.1 kg/ha at 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 P2O5 kg/ha, respectively. Based on the results of research experiment, on farm trials (OFT) were conducted on the farmers' fields with two treatments, control and 20 kg P2O5/ha. The result of OFT revealed that the application of 20 kg P2O5/ha increased the seed yield ofsesame by 11.71 per cent over control. Application of 20 P2O5 kg/ha was optimum for the cultivation of sesame crop in coarse textured medium phosphorus status soils under irrigated condition of south-west Haryana

Agricultural Research Station, Mandor organized five, two days on-campus trainings, 100 frontline demonstrations (FLDs) and five field days for selected 480 mustard growers during 2016-17. One hundred farmers comprising of 20 from each block i.e. Nagaur, Maulasar, Jalore, Barmer and Jodhpur were selected purposively for the study. It was observed that the farmers adopted new high yielding variety, seed treatment, crop rotation, integrated nutrient management, plant protection measures and used recommended seed rate after undergoing the trainings. The results also revealed that due to enhanced knowledge and adoption of scientific practices, the yield of mustard increased from 11.1 to 29.2% over the yield obtained under farmer's practices during the year 2016-17. The extension gap (167-416 kg/ha), technological gap (84-967 kg/ha) and technology index (4.20-42.04%) exhibited the feasibility of demonstrated technology. The farmers under medium and higher level of knowledge groups increased from 20 to 52% and from 15 to 31%, respectively. Besides, the adoption level increased from 18 to 63% and 9 to 17% in medium level and high level, respectively. Further, farmers under low level of adoption declined from 73 to 20%. Thus, this study suggests the need of conducting intensive trainings and FLDs to educate the mustard growers for achieving higher production of mustard in the western districts of Rajasthan.

A field experiment was conducted at the Punjab Agricultural University Ludhiana during rabi 2016-17 to study the effect of nitrogen (N) application dose and time on N uptake pattern, protein and oil yield and oil quality ofcanola oilseed rape (Brassica napus) under different sowing dates. The treatments comprised three sowing dates (15 October, 30 October and 15 November) in the main plots and seven combinations of dose (100 and 125 kg/ha) and time of application of N (two or three splits) in sub plots. Loamy sand soil of experimental field was low in organic carbon and available N in the upper 15 cm soil profile. The test variety GSC 7 was sown at spacing of 45 cm x 10-12 cm. Delay in sowing significantly reduced the N content and uptake by canola oilseed rape at all growth stages in different plant parts as well as in seed and stover at maturity except N content in stem at 80 DAS. The highest oil yield (941 kg/ha) obtained with 125 kg/ha of N applied as 50 kg at sowing + 50 kg at initiation of stem elongation + 25 kg at initiation of flowering was at par with application of 125 and 100 kg/ha of N in two equal splits at sowing and initiation ofstemelongation. The highest protein yield (738 kg/ha) obtained with 125 kg/ha of N applied in three splits (50 + 50 + 25) was significantly higher than all other treatments. The highest oil yield produced by 15 October sown crop with application of 125 kg/ha of N in three splits (1056 kg/ha) was 7.3% and 40.4%% higher than application of 100 kg/ha of N in two equal splits and 6.7% and 35.9% higher than 125 kg/ha of N in three splits in 30 October and 15 November sown crop, respectively. Fatty acid composition of oil was not influenced by sowing dates and N scheduling.
Evaluation of herbicides combination for effective weed control in groundnut
Authors: T PARTHIPAN  , C HARISUDAN
Published: October 2023

Groundnut is highly susceptible to weed infestation because of its slow growth at initial stages up to 40 DAS and the weeds interfere with pegging, pod development and harvesting of groundnut at different crop growth stages besides competing for essential resources. Yield losses due to weeds have been estimated as high as 24 to 70% in groundnut. Therefore, weeding has to be completed before pegging. Major problemin agriculture is labour shortage during the peak period of important operations like sowing, weeding and harvesting. The manual method of weed control is costly and time consuming as well as need to be repeated at frequent intervals. In this context, chemical weed control is a better supplement to conventional methods. Hence, field experiments were conducted at Regional ResearchStation, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Vridhachalamduring kharif 2018 and kharif 2019 to evaluate suitable herbicide combinations for effective weed control and reducing labour consumption in groundnutproduction. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design replicated thrice with nine treatments. Pre-emergence application of Pendimethalin 30 EC + Imazethapyr 2 EC @ 1.0 kg/ha (ready mix) followed by one manual weeding at 25-30 DAS showed higher weed control efficiency (67.37 %) followed by two manual weedings at 20 and 40 DAS (61.37%) and pre-emergence application of Pendimethalin @ 1.0 kg/ha + Manual weeding at 25-30 DAS (60.30%). Significantly higher pod yield (2400 kg/ha) was recorded by pre-emergence application of Pendimethalin 30 EC + Imazethapyr 2 EC @ 1.0 kg/ha (ready mix) followed by one manual weeding at 25-30 DAS, whereas pre-emergence application ofPendimethalin@1.0 kg/ha+Manual weeding at 25-30 DAS recorded pod yield of 2067 kg/ha only which was at par with two manual weedings at 20 and 40 DAS (1967 kg/ha).

A set of 18 genotypes of Brassica juncea L. including four released cultivars (checks) were screened for various physiological traits under normal and deficit moisture in cemented blocks with three replications. Maximum SCMR(SPAD chlorophyll reading) with minimum per cent reduction under moisture stress was recorded in DRMRCI 72, 80 and 89 genotypes at 45 and 60 DAS compared to check cultivars. Higher moisture stress index (MSI), relativewater content (RWC), lesser excised leaf water loss and transpiration rate were observed in DRMRCI 80, DRMRCI 89 and DRMRCI 90 genotypes under moisture stress condition. The DRMRCI 66, 72 and 89 genotypes recordedhigher siliquae wall weight, siliquae number on main shoot, seed yield and YSI (yield stability index) under moisture stress compared to check cultivars. Under stress condition, seed yield showed significant and positive correlationwith YSI (r=0.68), number ofsiliquae on main shoot (r=0.72) andRWC (r=0.46). Similarly, YSI showed significant and positive correlation with SCMR (r=0.49 at 45 and r=0.61 at 60 DAS), MSI (r=0.60), RWC (0.78), siliquae wall weight (r=0.77) and number of siliquae on main shoot (r=0.58). Based on SCMR, MSI, RWC, siliqua wall weight and number, genotypes DRMRCI 72, 80, 89 and 90 were identified as drought tolerant and may be used for breeding of drought tolerant varieties of Indian mustard.

Published: October 2023

In the field crops section, oilseeds are the second most significant crop after the cereals making them a vital determinant of the agrarian economy. India is one of the leading producer nations of oilseeds globally, but domestic production of edible oil fails to match the rising demands, leading to a considerable rise in the edible oil imports over time. India imports 60 per cent of its annual edible oil requirement. The rich agro-ecological diversity of India is suitable to grow a variety of oilseeds. Once an oil-exporting nation, India has now turned to be an oil-importer country majorly due to widened demand-supply gap, with low productivity being the prime cause for the mismatch. This paper is envisioned to study the growth and instability pattern of edible oilseedsfrom1970-71 to 2017-18. Area observed a declining trend, whereas production showed little growth due to low productivity. Soybean observed the highest growth among seven edible oilseeds. Sunflower showed the highest instability index followed by safflower. Period I exhibited the highest instability, which reduced in further periods as a result of the launch of various oilseed development schemes. Yield effect was the chief contributor to the growth in production of rapeseed-mustard,groundnut, and sesame, whereas area effect boosted the production of soybean, sunflower, safflower, and niger.

Published: October 2023

An investigation was carried out to assess the genetic variability and disease resistance against stem and root rot caused by Macrophomina phaseolina in sesame. Segregating generations of ten cross combinations involving the sesame varieties viz., VRI 1, TMV 3, TMV 4, TMV 6 as female parents and ORM 7, ORM 14, ORM 17 as male parents were used. The genetic variability parameters viz., GCV (%), PCV (%), heritability (h2) and Genetic Advance (GA) were estimated in F2 generation for the traits plant height, number of primary branches/plant, number of capsules/plant, number of leaves/plant, capsule leaf ratio and single plant yield. High GCV(%) and PCV (%) were recorded for the traits number of primary branches/panicle, number of capsules/plant and number of leaves/plant in F2s of all the ten cross combinations revealed the presence of enough genetic variability for these traits. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance were recorded for the traits viz., plant height, number of primary branches/plant, number of capsules/plant, number of leaves/plant and single plant yield unveiled that these traits are governed by additive gene action. Hence, hybridization followed by simple recurrent selection based on the progeny testing could be useful for improving these traits. Disease reaction studies of F3 generation in sick plot concluded that three crosses viz., Cross IV (TMV 3 X ORM 7), Cross VII (TMV 4 X ORM 7) and Cross X (TMV 6 X ORM 7) are moderately resistant for stem and root rot disease and Cross IV (TMV 3 X ORM 7) recorded highest mean single plant yield of 15.6 g/plant. Hence, Cross IV (TMV 3 X ORM 7) may be utilised for improving the yield and root rot resistance in sesame.

Triacylglycerol (TAG) biosynthesis in plants is complex and involves several genes with specific roles in the Kennedy pathway. Analysis of the evolutionary pattern and diversity of these genes can help to improve understanding of TAG biosynthesis in oilseed crops. In this study, an attempt was made to explore the diversity of genes: DGAT1, DGAT2, GPAT9 and LPAT2 across 13 oilseed crops using the sequence information ofthe model species, Arabidopsis thaliana. A total of 213 protein sequences corresponding to these genes were retrieved from the NCBI database by BLAST, multiple sequence alignment was performed and a phylogenetic tree was constructed. DGAT1, DGAT2 and GPAT9 sequences produced distinct species-wise clusters with several distinct sub-clusters, indicating monophyletic and highlydivergent nature with specialized rolesin differentspecies. LPAT2 sequences did not produce species-wise distinct clusters, indicating their polyphyletic nature. Diverse candidate gene sequences and phylogenetic relationships presented in this study would help to study TAG biosynthesis through genome-wide analysis in oilseed crops.

Published: October 2023

The mechanism of the presence of the Sukadana basalt in the back arc of Sumatra is still an enigma, especially since the Sukadana basalt has a wide coverage area in Sumatra Island and even the Sunda Arc. In this study, we used the published research data as the main contributor to an in-depth analysis to determine the mechanism of the presence of Sukadana basalt in the back arc. This study is supported by other studies from different regions around the world. These strengthen our conclusion that the emergence of Sukadana basalt on the surface is controlled by extensional deformations associated with the northwest-southeast-trending normal fault, which are formed by the mechanism of gravitational subsidence due to the movement of the Sumatra fault. In this study we suppose that the Nishimura fracture is a sinistral strike-slip fault as it is consistent with the Riedel shear model.

Published: October 2023

information (personal or official) for financial gain. That is one of the oldest cyber threats. There is a wide range of phishing attack techniques, and the most frequent one is performed via electronic mail. Due to major changes in conducting business in the last pandemic, which entail remote work, fast digital transformation and the increase of ICT technologies, the statistics show that phishing attacks are on the rise. Employees who lack developed awareness of phishing attacks, responsibility and knowledge represent a potential danger to the entire organisation. This paper describes the research on e-mail phishing recognition in business organisations in Primorje-Gorski kotar County. The research showed that employees are not aware of phishing attacks to a sufficient extent and that all the habits contributing to the IT security level regarding these attacks are not satisfying. To protect against such attacks, organisations should, in addition to implementing safety technical measures, actively educate employees and periodically implement testing.
WIDE BOOST RATIO IN QUASI-IMPEDANCE NETWORK CONVERTER USING SWITCH VOLTAGE SPIKE REDUCTION TECHNIQUE
Authors: SRIDHARAN HARIKA , RAMALINGAM SEYEZHAI , ARUMUGAM JAWAHAR
Published: October 2023

High-step-up converters are widely used for solar power applications. In that, impedance source converters are mostly preferred as it has a special feature of high gain at a low-duty cycle. However, the traditional impedance source converters have limited duty ratio operation and high stress across the network and the device. Thus, this paper presents a new type of quasi-impedance source dc-dc converter. The proposed converter has a large boost ratio operation using a switch voltage spike reduction technique. This reduces the stress across the network as well as across the device. The performance of the proposed topology has been investigated against several types of quasi-impedance source converters such as a switched capacitor, inductance alone, embedded, and conventional quasi-impedance source converter. The results clearly show that the projected modified quasi-impedance source converter topology has a high efficiency of 92 %. The modes of operation and comparative study of the modified topology are presented. A 60 W laboratory setup is developed to investigate the performance of the suggested converter, and the simulation results are verified experimentally.

Published: October 2023

A primary challenge for digital library systems when digitizing millions of volumes is to automatically analyze and group the huge document collection by categories while identifying patterns and extracting the main themes. A common method to be leveraged on unlabeled texts is topic modeling. Given the wide range of datasets and evaluation criteria used by researchers, comparing the performance and outputs of existing unsupervised algorithms is a complex task. This paper introduces a domain-based topic modeling evaluation applied to Romanian documents. Several variants of Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) combined with dimensionality reduction techniques were compared to Transformer-based models for topic modeling. Experiments were conducted on two datasets of varying text lengths: abstracts of novels and full-text documents. Evaluations were performed against coherence and silhouette scores, while the validation considered classification and clustering tasks. Results highlighted meaningful topics extracted from both datasets.

Published: October 2023

Het benutten van de meertaligheid van leerlingen wordt verondersteld bij te dragen aan betere onderwijsresultaten, zowel in termen van sociaal-affectieve als cognitieve uitkomsten. Echter, het is onduidelijk hoe leerkrachten de meertalige achtergronden van hun leerlingen goed kunnen benutten en wat daarvan de effecten zijn. Deze studie onderzocht de effecten van een meertalige aanpak via een mixed-methods design. Leerlingen van drie experimentele scholen (N =106) en vier controlescholen (N =107) vulden in de periode februari – juni/juli 2021 een vragenlijst in (als pre- en posttest) over hun sociaal-affectieve resultaten (motivatie, self-efficacy en welbevinden). Verder werden diverse LVS-toetsresultaten verzameld als pre- en posttest. Tenslotte werden semigestructureerde interviews gehouden met leerkrachten (N =12), ouders (N =13) en leerlingen (N =12) om de ervaren effecten te meten. Voor de sociaal-affectieve ontwikkeling werden geen significante verschillen gevonden tussen de experimentele en controlescholen. De kwantitatieve resultaten toonden wel een significante verbetering van de spellingscores) van leerlingen in de experimentele scholen. In de interviews rapporteerden docenten, leerlingen en ouders positieve effecten van de interventie op zowel de motivatie, self-efficacy, het welbevinden en de leerresultaten van de leerlingen. De interventie kan als voorbeeld dienen voor andere scholen die de meertalige achtergronden van leerlingen (beter) willen benutten.

As the title says, heise Security have found a backdoor in the Artmedic CMS system. The interesting question is how this backdoor was implanted - giving the benefit of the doubt it's possible that the development server was compromised and the code injected (the changes date back to the 2nd of May), but on the other hand the developer's not to heise's emails could be indicative of something more sinister.

Following on from a post on sla.ckers it emerges that Firefox has a vulnerability/bug that is very difficult to filter against and allows a fragmented XSS attack. This is best illustrated by the following example: The conditions for the XSS working are 2 injection points. Injection point 1 must be inside an HTML comment whilst injection point 2 is inside a double quoted attributed.

Innovative Al-Based Powders Through Ultrasonic Vibration And Gas Atomizing
Authors: Simone Gobber Federico , Monti Chiara , Turani Matteo , Bambach Markus , Actis Grande Marco
Published: October 2023

The need for spherical powders with enhanced flowability and tailored compositions have brought on new atomization techniques particularly suited for the lab-scale and highly competitive R&D activities. Among metal atomization techniques suitable for lab-scale development, those assisted by ultrasonic vibration are experiencing a notable diffusion at the R&D level. Gas-atomization is, however, the primary technique for producing spherical powders when larger batches are needed for production or R&D purposes. The present study analyses the characteristics of an innovative Al-Cu-Ti-Fe-Cr alloy obtained by the two powder production techniques. At first, the two atomization processes are compared in terms of yield in specific PSD ranges, a peculiarity of the AM technologies. Then, the main body of the study presents the characterization and comparison of the powders in terms of morphology and microstructure.

Published: October 2023

The aim of the study: to evaluate the effect of the degree of lung injury on the disease progression in COVID-19.

Materials and methods: during the study, 100 patients were examined on the basis of the coronavirus hospital of the Non-commercial JSC «Karaganda medical university» (Karaganda city) among the ages from 18 to 93 years. All patients underwent computed tomography (CT) on Canon Aquilion Prime SP tomograph (160 sections). Scanning was carried out at admission, on 4-5, 8-9 days or according to indications. The degree of lung injury in CT was determined on the basis of an «empirical» percentage visual scale of CT 0-4. A comparative assessment of changes in lung tissue with the stages of the course of the disease SARS-COV-2 was carried out.

Results and discussion: when comparing the indicators of the degree of lung damage in CT and the clinical severity of the disease, they have a weak direct correlation (P≥0.05).

Conclusion: CT is a highly informative diagnostic method of SARS-COV-2 (sensitivity 97-98 %), allows to identify all semiotic elements of lung tissue injury, the extent of the pathological process, the effectiveness of the treatment and prediction of the clinical course of the disease.
