Published: April 2020

The agro-morphological characterization of germplasm is of utmost importance to generate information to be utilized in plant breeding programmes. The aim of this study was to characterize the agro-morphological traits of 113 accessions of aromatic germplasm (Oryza sativa L.) based on qualitative agro-morphological descriptors. No duplicates were identified among the studied accessions for qualitative traits in the cluster analysis, which means there is a high diversity among the accessions for these traits. Following UPGMA cluster analysis, 113 accessions of aromatic germplasm formed ten distinct clusters. The highest numbers of germplasm (96) were found in cluster IXd, 2 were found in cluster III, IV and VI, 3 were found in IXc and the lowest number of germplasm (1) in cluster I, II,V, VII, VIII, IXa, IXb and X, respectively. Aroma evaluation revealed that 67 germplasm were scented, 34 were lightly scented, while the rest 12 germplasm were nonscented. Germplasm namely Begun bichi, Elai, Chinigura, Basmati 370, Ranisalut, Sakkorkhora, Jirakatari, Raduni Pagal, Kalijira (long grain), Black TAPL-554, Kalgochi, BRRI dhan34, BRRI dhan50, Badshabhog-2, Tulsimala-2, Kataribhog, BU dhan2R , Sakkorkhana, Maloti, Bashful could be used for further improvement for incorporating aroma to the high yielding varieties.

Authors: Hossain ATMS , Rahman F , Saha PK 
Published: April 2020

A field experiment was conducted on validation of prilled urea (PU) and urea super granule (USG) applied by applicators on yield and nitrogen use efficiency during Boro 2014 season at Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) farm, Gazipur (AEZ 28). Six treatment combinations of different N doses and methods of N application were tested to compare urea-N application by PU and USG applicator for rice yield, N uptake and N use efficiency over urea broadcasting. Application of N as PU or USG through applicator has same effect on grain yield, N uptake and N use efficiency compared with urea broadcasting. Statistically similar grain yield were observed with N application as PU or USG @ 78 kg N ha-1 by applicator which was comparable with urea broadcasting @ 135 kg N ha-1. The N concentration and uptake in both panicle initiation (PI) and maturity stage were higher in USG deep placement than PU deep placement by applicators but the difference was not significant. Although agronomic use efficiency (AUE) of N was slightly higher in PU than USG applied by applicators but the recovery efficiency (RE) of N was higher in USG than PU.

Published: April 2020

Effects of sodium fluoride (NaF) on Clarias batrachus in the aquarium at a sub lethal dose of 0, 15, 30, 40, 50 and 60 mg/l for a chronic exposure period of 120 days were evaluated. The histopathological alterations in different tissues from brain, gill and liver were examined in fishes showed abnormal behaviors. Such as rupture of hepatocytes, congestion, necrosis pyknosis, cellular infiltration, and degenerative changes. In case of liver, individualization of hepetocytes, mild necrosis, vacuolation, pyknosis and hemorrhage were observed. These results suggest that NaF affects severely on the tissues of the internal organs leading to threat of life and survival.

Effects of transport media and duration on the mortality and physiological responses in silver carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix fingerlings
Authors: Hasan Mahmud , Hossain Anwar , Mandal Shankar C , Haque Wahida 
Published: April 2020

This study evaluated the effects of three transport media i.e., well water (WW), pond water (PW) and mixture of the two (WPW; 1 : 1) and durations (1, 3, 6 and 9 hrs) on the mortality and physiological responses in silver carp, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix fingerlings in a transport simulation at 400 g/l loading density. While the total mortality was lower than 9% until 6 hrs of transport, it was very high (49 - 60%) at 9 hrs across all three treatment media. The highest level of cortisol was measured in the fingerlings simulated using WPW while the lowest level was detected in the fingerlings sampled form WW. The level of cortisol observed in the fingerlings simulated using PW was not different from other two media. Between durations, the levels of cortisol observed were significantly different. The highest chloride level was measured in the fingerlings simulated using WW while the lowest level was observed in the fingerlings sampled from WPW. PW did not result in different chloride level from those of WW and WPW. Among duration treatments, while 9 hrs resulted in the lowest level of chloride, the highest level was detected at 1 hr. The results suggest that WW, PW and WPW can be used as medium in transporting well conditioned silver carp fingerlings for 6 hrs with little mortality and less stress effects.

Identification and characterization of variant Allele 34.1 at short tandem repeat (STR) locus D21s11
Authors: Akhteruzzaman Sharif , Ferdous Ahmad , Hossain Tania 
Published: April 2020

D21S11 is one of the core short tandem repeat (STR) locus included in most of the commercial kits used for DNA parentage testing, kinship analysis and human identification purpose. It is a complex tetranucleotide repeat located on the long arm of chromosome 21 which surrounds a constant 43 bp section. The allele designation of a particular locus is correctly assigned by comparing the alleles with an allelic ladder that consists of all possible alleles at that particular locus. In this study we observed a variant allele at D21S11 during a routine paternity test while typing the putative father. The variant allele was called by the Genotyper™ software as 34.1, though this allele was not included in the allelic ladder provided by the manufacturer. Sequencing analysis revealed that the variant allele was generated as a change in the repeat motif (TCTA) for TCA at the 3’ end of the repeat region. This variant allele was first reported in Bangladeshi population from our laboratory in a previous report. This study involves further characterization of the reported allele by means of direct DNA sequencing of the D21S11 locus.

Published: April 2020

A study was carried out at four different (0, 1, 7 and 30 days) freezing durations in regard to the microbiological incidence in speckled shrimp (Metapenaeus monoceros) from three different local markets - Ananda bazaar, New Market and Polashi bazaar of Dhaka city. The study unveiled that Ananda bazaar samples were more or less contaminated than those of others. The microbial load varied with market sources as total bacteria count (TBC), total coliform count (TCC) and faecal coliform count (FCC) were found in all the storage periods crossing the acceptable limit. Except for E. coli (EC), all the bacterial counts were significantly different (p < 0.05) in 7 and 30 days freezing durations. A significant difference (p < 0.05) was found in all freezing durations only for EC counts. After 30 days storage duration for all counts showed 101 cfu/g reduction of microbial load from every initial count. The Salmonella-Shigella (SS) and Vibrio spp. were identified in all the samples of the three markets. In case of biochemical composition, an inverse relation was found in moisture - protein and moisture - fat where the moisture content increased after 30 days freezing duration but protein and lipid contents decreased with time. This study revealed that shrimp available in local markets of Dhaka city was highly ingested with pathogenic bacteria which indicate the unhygienic condition of the market premises.

Authors: Shutrodhar Anita Rani , Shamsi Shamim 
Published: April 2020

Characteristic symptoms of anthracnose and leaf spot were recorded from diseased leaf samples of Aloe vera L. A total of 8 fungal species, namely Alternaria pluriseptata (Karst. & Har.) Jorstad, Aspergillus flavus Link, Aspergillus niger Van Tieghem, Cladosporium oxysporum Berk. & Curt., Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.) Sacc., Nigrospora oryzae (Berk. & Br.) Petch, Penicillium sp. and Pestalotiopsis guepinii (Desm.) Stay. were found to be associated with healthy and diseased leaf samples. In addition to above 8 fungi, Curvularia brachyospora Boedijn, Epicoccum purpurascens Ehrenb. ex Schlecht and Sclerotium sp. were also associated with diseased leaf samples of the plant. The prevalence of the fungi ranged 1.43 - 13.35% on healthy leaves and 1.43 - 62.16% on infected leaves. The frequency of C. gloeosporioides was the maximum and that of Aspergillus and Penicillium was the lowest. Pathogenicity test revealed that C. gloeosporioides causes anthracnose and E. purpurascens and P. guepinii cause leaf spots of A. vera.

Authors: Jahan Nargis , Adam AMM Golam 
Published: April 2020

The effect of various concentrations of NAA (0, 25, 50, 75, 100 mg/l) on the growth and yield components of BARI Gom-26 was investigated. Data recorded on plant height, number of tillers per plant and number of leaves per plant showed negative performance in most cases with a few exceptions (7 and 14 DAS due to 25 and 50 mg/l NAA). The 50 mg/l NAA produced the highest total dry matter (TDM) at all the stages of growth except at 21 and 28 DAS and significant variations were observed at 7 DAS. Length of spike, grains per spike and 1000- seed weight increased following all the rates of NAA applications. Number of effective tillers and maximum yield (g/plant and t/ha) increased significantly only due to application of 50 mg/l NAA and the increases were 9.09 and 12.24% higher over the control, respectively. Non-effective tillers per plant decreased with all concentrations of NAA application and the maximum decrease (60.20%) was recorded with 50 mg/l NAA. Non-significant highest harvest index was also recorded with 50 mg/l followed by 100 mg/l NAA application.

Background: Despite the rapid advance of neonatal care, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) remains a significant burden for the preterm population, and there is a lack of effective intervention. Stem cell depletion because of preterm birth is regarded as one of the underlying pathological mechanisms for the arrest of alveolar and vascular development. Preclinical and small-sample clinical studies have proven the efficacy and safety of stem cells in treating and preventing lung injury. However, there are currently no randomized clinical trials (RCTs) investigating the use of autologous cord blood mononuclear cells (ACBMNC) for the prevention of BPD in premature infants. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of infusion of ACBMNC for the prevention of BPD in preterm neonates &lt;28 weeks.Methods: In this prospective, randomized controlled double-blind multi-center clinical trial, 200 preterm neonates &lt;28 weeks gestation will be randomly assigned to receive intravenous ACBMNC infusion (5 × 107 cells/kg) or placebo (normal saline) within 24 h after birth in a 1:1 ratio using a central randomization system. The primary outcome will be survival without BPD at 36 weeks of postmenstrual age or at discharge, whichever comes first. The secondary outcomes will include the mortality rate, other common preterm complication rates, respiratory support duration, length, and cost of hospitalization, and long-term outcomes after a 2-year follow-up.Conclusion: This will be the first randomized, controlled, blinded trial to evaluate the efficacy of ACBMNC infusion as a prevention therapy for BPD. The results of this trial will provide valuable clinical evidence for recommendations on the management of BPD in extremely preterm infants.Clinical Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04440670, registered 06/18/2020, prospectively registered, https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT04440670?term=NCT04440670&amp;rank=1 (Additional File 2).

A importância econômica da bovinocultura leiteira no Brasil tem atraído a comunidade científica no sentido de aprofundar os estudos sobre os sistemas de criação de gado em confinamento. Trata-se de um sistema amplamente difundido no meio rural e responsável pela geração de possíveis impactos, haja vista os elevados volumes de efluente com alta carga orgânica e de nutrientes, advindos da limpeza dos locais de confinamento. De matriz complexa, ainda é possível identificar no efluente a presença de micropoluentes orgânicos, como os desreguladores endócrinos (DE), advindos do manejo reprodutivo dos rebanhos. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho busca caracterizar o afluente e o efluente da bovinocultura leiteira, tratado em biodigestor anaeróbio associado com um ciclo de recirculação. Também visa avaliar/quantificar a presença de atividade estrogênica atravésdo ensaio in vitroYeastEstrogenScreen (YES). O efluente em estudo é proveniente da fazenda da Embrapa Gado de Leite, localizada em Coronel Pacheco (MG), a qual trabalha com um sistema de produção de gado Girolandosemiconfinado. Após análises de amostras foi possível observar expressiva eficiência na redução de carga orgânica (65% de remoção de DQO e 89% de DBO) e baixa remoção de nutrientes. Os resultados evidenciaram que o tratamento não foi capaz de promover a remoção da atividade estrogênica no efluente.
Typological Grouping Based on Decomposition of Probability Distributions Mixtures
Authors: Ismaiylova Yu. N. , Khrushchev S. E. 
Published: April 2020

A mixture of probability distributions is a mathematical model that allows to describe heterogeneous data. The task of separating mixtures or decomposition is the task of estimating the unknown parameters of miscible distributions. Despite the adequacy of the description of heterogeneous data, the decomposition of mixtures is a separate problem, due to the large number of parameters to be evaluated. The article carries out historical periodization,systematization, and a critical comparative analysis of existing methods and algorithms for decomposition of mixtures of probability distributions, identifies the possibilities and limitations of their application for the analysis of real populations. Based on existing algorithms, a method for separating mixtures of an arbitrary known number of probability distributions and a further typological grouping of real socio-economic aggregates is proposed. Unlike existing methods, a method for calculating threshold values to determine the boundaries of types and the number of components of the mixture, in cases where it is unknown, is proposed. Based on the proposed methodology, a typology of the subjects of the Russian Federation by the level of unemployment in the Russian Federation is carried out.

A Quantitative Analysis for the Tanzania Industries Performance and Productivity
Authors: A Sansa Nuhu 
Published: April 2020

Literature evidence manifests that the Tanzania manufacturing sector’s contribution to economic development is inadequate, and the targeted performance and productivity of the sector were never realized. With that regard, the fundamental question for Tanzania Industries’ performance and productivity becomes the centered debate and significant for the investigation. This study focuses on investigating the performance of the industries and the labor force productivity during the period from 1996 to 2015 in Tanzania. The study considers employing the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method to analyze the average annual growth rates of the total Gross Domestic Product (GDP), employment, and export during the period from 1996 to 2015. Time series macroeconomic data during the period from 1996 to 2015 for Tanzania were collected from the World Bank. To assess the performance of the Tanzania industries, particularly the annual average marginal performance, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and the export’s yearly average growth rate for the periodic 1996-2000, 2001-2005, 2006-2010, and 2011-2015 were evaluated. While investigating the labor force productivity, the extra productivity of the employed labor force was evaluated during the period from 1996 to 2015 in Tanzania. The results of the investigatigation were catching up the attention. The findings of the study reveal that the performance of the Tanzania industries is positive and meaningful, while the labor force productivity is negative and insignificant during the period from 1996 to 2015 in Tanzania.
The Structural Compression of Kāvyprakāsa and Taṇṭiyalaṅkāra
Authors: Uma B 
Published: April 2020

Tolkāppiyam, the first extant work of Tamil grammar covers the descriptions on the ‘Rhetoric Grammar’ (aṇiyilakkaṇam; figures of language) under the chapter simile. Later on, In ‘Vīracōḻiyam’ which is one of the five grammatical thoughts of Tamil, (Eḻuttu, Col, Poruḷ, Yāppu, Aṇi) the rhetoric aspects of the language was described as following Sanskrit work ‘kāviyātarca’. Subsequently, more works such as Taṇṭiyalaṅkāra, Māṟāṉalaṅkāram, Toṉṉūl Viḷakkam, Muttuvīriyam were written based on the Sanskrit rhetorical conventions. Though the rhetoric works in Tamil were written on the basis of Sanskrit rhetoric aspects, it would have been authored in the Tamil context. Considering the requirement of a comparative research to understand this, the present study proposes to analyses the Sanskrit work ‘Kāvyprakāsa’ written in 11thAD and Tamil work ‘Taṇṭiyalaṅkāra’ written in 12thAD. Noteworthy, both the books were authored in the same time period. This work is comparing the structure of the rhetoric grammatical work of kāvyaprakāsa in Sanskrit and Taṇṭiyalaṅkāra in Tamil. Kāvyaprakāsa divided into ten chapter (ullāsa) and comprises three parts, the kārikās (the stanzas), the vrutti (the explanatory prose gloss), and the examples. This book has 143 rules for poetics. Taṇṭiyalaṅkāram is the earliest complete rhetoric grammar of Tamil written by Dandi. He explains ‘Taṇṭiyalaṅkāram’ under ‘Potuvaṇiyiyal’ (common rhetoric), ‘Poruḷaṇiyiyal’ (rhetoric meaning) and ‘Collaṇiyiyal’ (rhetoric terms). I would like to look at the internal structure and external structure of both texts. Internal structure will deals with auspicious verse, purpose of poetry, divisions of poetry, poetry defects, poetry gunās and rhetoric terms. The chapter divisions will be considering as external structures.
