The field investigation conducted during kharif season, at experimental farm, College of Agriculture, Badnapur, VNMKV, Parbhani. The experiment conducted with four sowing dates in main plot viz, D1 : (15th June) , D2: (30th June) , D3 : (15th July), D4 : (30th July) and five varieties in sub plot viz, V1-BSMR-736, V2-BSMR-853, V3-BDN-711, V4-BDN-708 and V5-VIPULA. The soil was medium black, clay in texture, alkaline in reaction and higher in total soluble salt concentration, low in nitrogen and phosphorus and rich in potassium and lime, alkaline in reaction with high base saturation. Sowing was done by dibbling method. From the result of experiment, it can be concluded that, among different sowing dates for pigeonpea, the sowing on 15th June, was found optimum for achieving higher seed yield. The pigeonpea variety BSMR-736 was found to be highly productive as compared to rest of the varieties.
Tropopause level Rossby wave breaking in the Northern Hemisphere: a feature‐based validation of the ECHAM5‐HAM climate model

Published: December 2012

ABSTRACTBreaking synoptic‐scale Rossby waves (RWB) at the tropopause level are central to the daily weather evolution in the extratropics and the subtropics. RWB leads to pronounced meridional transport of heat, moisture, momentum, and chemical constituents. RWB events are manifest as elongated and narrow structures in the tropopause‐level potential vorticity (PV) field. A feature‐based validation approach is used to assess the representation of Northern Hemisphere RWB in present‐day climate simulations carried out with the ECHAM5‐HAM climate model at three different resolutions (T42L19, T63L31, and T106L31) against the ERA‐40 reanalysis data set. An objective identification algorithm extracts RWB events from the isentropic PV field and allows quantifying the frequency of occurrence of RWB. The biases in the frequency of RWB are then compared to biases in the time mean tropopause‐level jet wind speeds. The ECHAM5‐HAM model captures the location of the RWB frequency maxima in the Northern Hemisphere at all three resolutions. However, at coarse resolution (T42L19) the overall frequency of RWB, i.e. the frequency averaged over all seasons and the entire hemisphere, is underestimated by 28%.The higher‐resolution simulations capture the overall frequency of RWB much better, with a minor difference between T63L31 and T106L31 (frequency errors of −3.5 and 6%, respectively). The number of large‐size RWB events is significantly underestimated by the T42L19 experiment and well represented in the T106L31 simulation. On the local scale, however, significant differences to ERA‐40 are found in the higher‐resolution simulations. These differences are regionally confined and vary with the season. The most striking difference between T106L31 and ERA‐40 is that ECHAM5‐HAM overestimates the frequency of RWB in the subtropical Atlantic in all seasons except for spring. This bias maximum is accompanied by an equatorward extension of the subtropical westerlies.

Published: December 2012

AbstractDetailed chemical kinetic modeling of gas‐phase reactions can result in automatically generated mechanisms that contain thousands of reactions. In this paper, we describe the development of a rule‐based expert system tool that organizes these reactions into classes such as hydrogen abstraction and beta scission. We have developed 29 simple classification rules, 20 complex (well‐skipping) classification rules, and four second‐stage classification rules. This greatly simplifies the task of the chemical kineticist who wishes to verify, analyze, and gain insights into the reactions comprising the mechanism. This system, which is based on the automated identification of the bonds that break and form in a chemical reaction (the reaction mapping problem), is used to classify reactions in three different mechanisms. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Family Communication Following BRCA1/2 Genetic Testing: A Close Look at the Process

Published: December 2012

AbstractThis study examines the process of communicating BRCA1/2 genetic test results to family members, and the factors influencing disclosure. Twenty‐nine semi‐structured telephone interviews with BRCA1/2 tested individuals, 4 to 9 years post‐notification, were conducted. Our results suggest that individual, familial, relational and socio‐medical factors influence the decision to disclose/not disclose genetic test results to family members. These factors are at play in all three communication phases: the Decision‐making phase, in which the individual ponders various factors before deciding to disclose test results to family members; the Disclosure phase, in which communication per se takes place; and the Reaction phase, which shapes the participant's subsequent disclosure/non‐disclosure decisions. We propose a guiding framework to assist in identifying and evaluating significant factors that might shape the course and outcome of the transmission of genetic information to family members.
Of volcanoes and insects: the impact of the Puyehue–Cordon Caulle ash fall on populations of invasive social wasps, Vespula spp.

Published: December 2012

AbstractVolcanic eruptions have important effects on terrestrial ecosystems. The biotic effects of volcanic ash on insect populations vary from widespread and catastrophic to subtle and localized. Volcanic eruptions may increase insect mortality through the effects of the ash plume, and these vary by taxon or specific biological features. The Puyehue–Cordon Caulle Volcanic Complex is the most recent eruption in Patagonia. Here we explore and describe the effects of the eruption of this volcanic complex on invasive Vespula spp. populations. These wasps are very abundant social hymenoptera that have recently invaded Patagonia. We placed baited traps following the gradient of deposited ash, and revisited them once a week during February to April. No wasps were caught where ash deposition levels exceeded 3.0 cm. The number of wasps caught in sites with minimal ash deposits was similar to that of previous years. In locations where ash layers are intermediate, a few wasps were observed, but only during the peak of wasp abundance. We show that Vespula spp. populations were severely affected by the ash deposition and plume, caused by this eruption. These results show catastrophic effects of ash deposition over a large area, even at great distances from the eruption epicenter. We conclude that wasp mortality explained by the volcanic eruption may reach distant areas, and cause local extinction. In areas where active volcanoes are common, invasive insects may encounter an additional obstacle in their invasion success.
Separation of root and heterotrophic respiration within soil respiration by trenching, root biomass regression, and root excising methods in a cool‐temperate deciduous forest in Japan

Published: December 2012

AbstractTrenching (Tr), root biomass regression (RR), and root excising (RE) methods were used to estimate the contribution of root (RR) and heterotrophic (HR) respiration to soil respiration (SR) in a cool‐temperate deciduous forest in central Japan. The contribution ratios of RR to SR were 23 % (−16 to 46 %), 11 % (−19 to 61 %), and 115 % (20 to 393 %), as estimated by the Tr, RR, and RE methods, respectively. The contribution ratio showed clear seasonal variation with high values in summer for the Tr method, while they were undetectable for the RR and RE methods because of some methodological problems. These results suggest the Tr method is the best of the three methods used to estimate the contribution ratio of RR and HR to SR in the forest. Annual SR, RR, and HR rates, estimated by the Tr method, were 479, 369, 110 gC m−2 year−1, respectively. The seasonal variation of SR was mainly influenced by HR (77 %) throughout the year, while the influence of RR on SR was strongest in summer (46 %). This effect occurred because RR (Q10 = 7.5) is more sensitive to temperature than HR (Q10 = 3.2). Also, the contribution of fine RR to total RR was higher than that of coarse RR because of high respiratory activity (Q10 and R10) as well as the large biomass of fine roots. These results suggest that each component of SR responds differently to the same environmental factors and their relative influence on SR changes across the seasons.

AbstractPhenology controls the seasonal activities of vegetation on land surfaces and thus plays a fundamental role in regulating photosynthesis and other ecosystem processes. Therefore, accurately simulating phenology and soil processes is critical to ecosystem and climate modeling. In this study, we present an integrated ecosystem model of plant productivity, plant phenology, and the soil freeze–thaw process to (1) improve the quality of simulations of soil thermal regimes and (2) estimate the seasonal variability of plant phenology and its effects on plant productivity in high‐altitude seasonal frozen regions. We tested different model configurations and parameterizations, including a refined soil stratification scheme that included unfrozen water in frozen soil, a remotely sensed diagnostic phenology scheme, and a modified prognostic phenology scheme, to describe the seasonal variation in vegetation. After refined soil layering resolution and the inclusion of unfrozen water in frozen soil, the results show that the model adequately reproduced the soil thermal regimes and their interactions observed at the site. The inclusion of unfrozen water in frozen soil was found to have a significant effect on soil moisture simulation during the spring but only a small effect on soil temperature simulation at this site. Moreover, the performance of improved phenology schemes was good. The phenology model accurately predicted the start and end of phenology, and its precise prediction of phenology variation allows an improved simulation of vegetation production.

SUMMARYCyanobacteria represent promising organic inputs in rice–wheat cropping system, as they contribute towards accretion of N and C, besides secreting growth-promoting substances which influence plant productivity and soil fertility. The present study focused towards using a combinatorial approach for evaluating field-level colonization of cyanobacteria in soil and their effect on soil microbiological and plant parameters, employing agronomic and molecular tools. A consortium of cyanobacterial strains (BF1,Anabaenasp., BF2,Nostocsp., BF3,Nostocsp. and BF4,Anabaenasp.) was employed in different three-and four-member combinations along with 75% N + Full dose of P and K fertilizers. A significant enhancement in microbial activity and plant growth/yields and savings of 25% N in the wheat–rice cropping sequence were recorded, especially in treatments involving 75% N + Full dose of PK+BF1+BF2+BF4 and T5, i.e. 75% N + Full dose of PK+BF1+BF2+BF3. Such treatments were significantly higher or statistically at par with fertilizer controls – 75% N + Full dose of PK fertilizers. The use of DNA-based markers further helped to establish the colonization of the inoculated cyanobacteria, especially BF2 and BF3 strains. Our study clearly illustrated the establishment of inoculated cyanobacterial strains and their role in enhancing the crop productivity and soil health of the rice–wheat cropping system.

Published: December 2012

Objectives: An overview was produced of approaches currently used to evaluate chronic disease management in selected European countries. The study aims to describe the methods and metrics used in Europe as a first to help advance the methodological basis for their assessment.Methods: A common template for collection of evaluation methods and performance measures was sent to key informants in twelve European countries; responses were summarized in tables based on template evaluation categories. Extracted data were descriptively analyzed.Results: Approaches to the evaluation of chronic disease management vary widely in objectives, designs, metrics, observation period, and data collection methods. Half of the reported studies used noncontrolled designs. The majority measure clinical process measures, patient behavior and satisfaction, cost and utilization; several also used a range of structural indicators. Effects are usually observed over 1 or 3 years on patient populations with a single, commonly prevalent, chronic disease.Conclusions: There is wide variation within and between European countries on approaches to evaluating chronic disease management in their objectives, designs, indicators, target audiences, and actors involved. This study is the first extensive, international overview of the area reported in the literature.

Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die Hypothese eines mit Alexithymie assoziierten Defizits beim Erkennen emotionaler Gesichtsaudrücke an einer klinischen Population. Darüber hinaus werden Hypothesen zur Bedeutung spezifischer Emotionsqualitäten sowie zu Gender-Unterschieden getestet. 68 ambulante und stationäre psychiatrische Patienten (44 Frauen und 24 Männer) wurden mit der Toronto-Alexithymie-Skala (TAS-20), der Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Scale (MADRS), der Symptom-Check-List (SCL-90-R) und der Emotional Expression Multimorph Task (EEMT) untersucht. Als Stimuli des Gesichtererkennungsparadigmas dienten Gesichtsausdrücke von Basisemotionen nach Ekman und Friesen, die zu Sequenzen mit sich graduell steigernder Ausdrucksstärke angeordnet waren. Mittels multipler Regressionsanalyse untersuchten wir die Assoziation von TAS-20 Punktzahl und facial emotion recognition (FER). Während sich für die Gesamtstichprobe und den männlichen Stichprobenteil kein signifikanter Zusammenhang zwischen TAS-20-Punktzahl und FER zeigte, sahen wir im weiblichen Stichprobenteil durch die TAS-20 Punktzahl eine signifikante Prädiktion der Gesamtfehlerzahl (β = .38, t = 2.055, p < 0.05) und den Fehlern im Erkennen der Emotionen Wut und Ekel (Wut: β = .40, t = 2.240, p < 0.05, Ekel: β = .41, t = 2.214, p < 0.05). Für wütende Gesichter betrug die Varianzaufklärung durch die TAS-20-Punktzahl 13.3 %, für angeekelte Gesichter 19.7 %. Kein Zusammenhang bestand zwischen der Zeit, nach der die Probanden die emotionalen Sequenzen stoppten, um ihre Bewertung abzugeben (Antwortlatenz) und Alexithymie. Die Ergebnisse der Arbeit unterstützen das Vorliegen eines mit Alexithymie assoziierten Defizits im Erkennen emotionaler Gesichtsausdrücke bei weiblchen Probanden in einer heterogenen, klinischen Stichprobe. Dieses Defizit könnte die Schwierigkeiten Hochalexithymer im Bereich sozialer Interaktionen zumindest teilweise begründen und so eine Prädisposition für psychische sowie psychosomatische Erkrankungen erklären.
