Published: November 2021

Abstract
Correlation and path coefficient analysis were worked out for ten morphological traits in 30 three-way crosses of maize. Phenotypic and genotypic correlation analysis indicated that ear length; row numbers per ear, grain numbers per row, leaf area and leaves numbers had a positive significant correlation with grain yield per plant. Further partitioning of correlation coefficients into direct and indirect effects showed that traits days to silking, row numbers per row and leaves numbers had a positive direct effect on grain yield per plant. The traits ear length, grain numbers per row and leaf area had a maximum total effect on grain yield. Furthermore, PCA analysis has gave interested results and it supported the results of correlation and path analysis. The correlation and path analysis obviously indicated that direct selection based on these attributes may be useful in raising grain yield in maize.

Abstract
This study was conducted on the vegetative and non-vegetative land cover spread in the Amadiya District of Dohuk Governorate, northern Iraq, located between longitudes (43 ° 25'24.309 "- 43 ° 11'6.839") to the east and latitudes (37 ° 12'36.359 "- 37 7'25.484") north. They rely on a spatial indication of accuracy (10 m) and are reduced to (5 m) from Sentinel -2. Using unsupervised classifications, to form a general perception of the items in the studied area. As the number of varieties and the number of spectral bands used were determined, then the Supervised Classification to classify the spatial indication at the site to determine the plant and non-plant ground targets. These two classifications resulted, using the (Arc GIS) program, we obtained 12 types when classifying the space declaration for the Amadiyah district. We noticed that the area occupied by the terrestrial targets of the site are (water, medium-density forests (sloping lands), medium-density forests (flatlands), low-density forests (sloping lands), low-density forests (flatlands), limestone rocky areas, dense forests. (Sloping lands), limestone and paved roads, barren lands, residential areas, pastures, dense forests (flatlands) and their areas respectively are (283.9 - 408.6 - 556.2 - 829.2 - 983.6 - 1022.8 - 1066.4 - 1138.8 - 1148.5 - 1172.2 - 1218.4. - 1272.4) km2. The classification accuracy of the spatial indication was estimated based on the error matrix and the Kappa test. From there we found that the accuracy was (84.6%) for the error matrix and (83.34%) for the Kappa test, and this indicates that the classification accuracy is very good It is acceptable and can be relied upon and recommended for classification.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
The location indication was classified as a directed classification for all 44 species of trees present at the study site based on the projection of the tree coordinates on the false-color satellite images, which were taken from the location of these trees and their reflectivity measured in the laboratory. Where the satellite image was classified, based on the points taken for trees as field training areas, the visual output image classified by the directed classification method included 23 classes and represents the distribution of trees and shrubs at the site. The classification accuracy of vegetation and non-vegetation covers was also assessed by taking (334) ground control points for the various land targets and vegetation covers to determine this accuracy. Thus, we obtained a total accuracy of the classified statement (82.1%). This indicates that the accuracy of the overall classification is good, acceptable, and reliable. The percentage was high for all varieties, reaching (93%) for the frothy mug, weeping willow, and wild amethyst, and the lowest (75%) for olives, grassy slopes, and flat barren soils, and this was also acceptable. Through this accuracy, we can determine the extent to which the classification matches these goals and covers, and the possibility of relying on the prepared map for its future use. The number of each tree type was estimated by determining the coverage area for each tree type and the total area to cover the total type in the area using the proportional method. From this, it was found that the different types of trees differ in their presence on the site and the reason is attributed to the difference in height, direction and the different organic matter in which these types were grown and the environmental conditions appropriate to the species and that these factors have an effective role in the distribution of species and their densities in the different sites of the study area. We also noticed that the highest presence in terms of number was of edible oaks, followed by tannins oak in second place, at a rate ranging from (29.84%, 6.35%).

Abstract
Our ability to generate new distributions of light has been remarkably enhanced in recent years. At the most fundamental level, these light patterns are obtained by ingeniously combining different electromagnetic modes. Interestingly, the modal superposition occurs in the spatial, temporal as well as spatio-temporal domain. This generalized concept of structured light is being applied across the entire spectrum of optics: generating classical and quantum states of light, harnessing linear and nonlinear light-matter interactions, and advancing applications in microscopy, spectroscopy, holography, communication, and synchronization. This Roadmap highlights the common roots of these different techniques and thus establishes links between research areas that complement each other seamlessly. We provide an overview of all these areas, their backgrounds, current research, and future developments. We highlight the power of multimodal light manipulation and want to inspire new eclectic approaches in this vibrant research community.
Trajectories of Depressive Symptoms and Incident Diabetes: A Prospective Study
Authors: Burns Rachel J , Briner Esther , Schmitz Norbert 
Published: November 2021

Abstract

Background
Elevated depressive symptoms are associated with an increased risk for diabetes. Depression is a heterogeneous and chronic condition in which symptoms may remit, emerge, lessen, or intensify over time.

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to determine if trajectories of depressive symptoms measured at five time points over 8 years predicted incident diabetes over an 8-year follow-up in middle-aged and older adults. A secondary aim was to determine if trajectories of depressive symptoms predict incident diabetes, above and beyond depressive symptoms measured at a single time point.

Methods
Data came from the Health and Retirement Study (n = 9,233). Depressive symptoms were measured biennially from 1998 to 2006. Self-reported incident diabetes was measured during an 8-year follow-up.

Results
Five trajectories of depressive symptoms were identified (no depressive symptoms, low depressive symptoms, low-moderate depressive symptoms, moderate depressive symptoms, elevated and increasing depressive symptoms). Compared to the no depressive symptoms trajectory group (referent), all other trajectory groups were at higher risk of developing diabetes after adjusting for covariates. In most cases, trajectory group membership was associated with incident diabetes after controlling for depressive symptoms at a single time point.

Conclusions
Patterns of depressive symptoms over time were associated with incident diabetes. Patterns of depressive symptoms may be more predictive of diabetes incidence than depressive symptoms measured at a single time point.
The American Bar Association Looks to England, 1924 and 1957
Authors: Rowe Christopher J 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
This article’s overarching claim is that the leading elites of the American Bar consciously defined the legal profession in terms of its relationship to English law and practice during the first half of the twentieth century, although the manner in which they did so evolved over time. The two annual American Bar Association meetings in London in 1924 and 1957, hitherto passed over in the historiography, provide the main evidentiary basis for this contention. In detailing the profession’s conscious, anglophilic self-identification, this article makes five historiographical contributions: first, it underscores a genuine concern among American legal elites regarding procedural inefficiencies at the turn of the twentieth century and qualifies historiographical assumptions that the Association was largely ineffective before 1929. Second, it draws attention to a further preoccupation of the Bar, apparent at both meetings, concerning the rise of the administrative state and builds upon recent work in this area. Third, it highlights a transition in American legal thought vis-à-vis its common law heritage in the decades between the two wars, moving from a Burkean nostalgia in 1924 to a narrower appeal to Magna Carta as the ultimate bulwark against communism three decades later. Fourth, it underscores the growing role of lawyers as international peacemakers and the entanglement of law and politics, especially by 1957. Drawing together all of the aforementioned conclusions, this article’s fifth contribution is to underscore the extent to which legal elites were preoccupied with their status. In holding up the American legal profession to the standards of the English profession, leading American jurists were seeking the equivalent prestige enjoyed by their English brethren. Undoubtedly, this process was symbiotic, with their hosts happy to serve as exemplars at a time when British supremacy, especially in the light of the Suez Crisis, was quickly waning.
Extrafloral nectar production induced by simulated herbivory does not improve ant bodyguard attendance and ultimately plant defence
Authors: Chinarelli Henrique D , Nogueira Anselmo , Leal Laura C 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Highly competitive and aggressive ant species are efficient bodyguards that monopolize the more attractive plants bearing extrafloral nectaries. Given that herbivory often increases the quality of extrafloral nectar, we hypothesized that plants damaged by herbivory would be more prone to interact with high-quality ant bodyguards and be better defended against herbivores. We performed an experiment with Chamaecrista nictitans plants. We induced anti-herbivore responses by applying jasmonic acid to a group of plants while keeping another group unmanaged. We measured extrafloral nectar production, censused ants visiting extrafloral nectaries and, subsequently, added herbivore mimics to measure the efficiency of ant anti-herbivore defence in both conditions. Induction increased the volume of extrafloral nectar and the mass of sugar per nectary without affecting the sugar concentration or the patterns of plant attendance and defence by ants. Thus, we found no evidence that defence-induced C. nictitans plants are more prone to interact with high-quality bodyguards or to receive better anti-herbivore defence. These findings highlight that increases in extrafloral nectar production are not always rewarded with increases in the biotic defences; instead, these rewards might be dependent on the traits of the nectar induced by herbivory events and/or on the ecological context in which the interaction is embedded. Consequently, herbivory might increase the costs of this induced biotic defence to plants bearing extrafloral nectaries when the induced defence does not increase the attractiveness of the plants to ants.
Long non-coding RNA NRSN2-AS1 facilitates tumorigenesis and progression of ovarian cancer via miR-744-5p/PRKX axis
Authors: Chen Qian , Xie Jia , Yang Yisi 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Newly discovered lncRNA neurensin-2 antisense RNA 1 (NRSN2-AS1) has not been well explored in cancers. Ovarian cancer (OV) is a primary gynecologic cancer worldwide and has the highest mortality rate among gynecologic cancers. Hence, the role and underlying mechanisms of NRSN2-AS1 in OV were worth investigating. According to the results of qantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, NRSN2-AS1 displayed the remarkably high expression in OV cells, in contrast to human ovarian epithelial cells. Based on online database, the expression level of NRSN2-AS1 was significantly higher in OV tissues than that in normal ovarian tissues. The data from functional experiments indicated that NRSN2-AS1 knockdown inhibited OV cell malignant behaviors in vitro and OV tumor growth in vivo. Moreover, mechanism analysis unveiled that NRSN2-AS1 functioned as a miR-744-5p sponge to regulate PRKX expression in OV cells. The results of TOP/FOP flash and western blot assays suggested that NRSN2-AS1/miR-744-5p/PRKX axis modulated the activity of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. In summary, we validated NRSN2-AS1 functioned as a novel oncogenic lncRNA in OV and elucidated its specific molecular mechanism. This work might advance our understanding of OV and provide evidence for supporting NRSN2-AS1 as a potential biomarker for OV treatment.
