Published: November 2023

One of the most significant commercial vegetables is the onion (Allium cepa L.; Family: Amaryllidaceae). Onion is a cool season crop. India stands at second position in onion production after China in the world. In India, Gujarat stands at second position in onion cultivation after Maharashtra state. The present study has been undertaken in Rajula, Savar Kundla, Khambha, and Dhari talukas of the Amreli district, as all four talukas have higher areas under onion cultivation. A multistage sampling technique was adopted to select the districts, talukas, and villages. Total 120 onion growers and 20 insecticide dealers were selected for the study. The study was mainly based on primary data, which were collected through personal interviews with the help of a structured survey schedule. The study revealed that the highest market share was captured by United Phosphorus Limited Company followed by Dhanuka Agritech Limited Company and Dharmaj Crop Guard Limited Company. The results showed that the highest percentage of onion growers belonged to the 35 to 50 age group and had a primary education level. Most of the onion growers belonged to semi-medium and small land-holding groups and had annual incomes between ₹ 2,27,693 to ₹ 5,10,058. The highest percentage of onion growers belonged to the farming + animal husbandry category. Bore wells were observed as the main source of irrigation in the study area. More than 50 per cent of onion growers belonged to the nuclear family. Most onion growers have more than 15 years of farming experience. It is also concluded that most of the growers bought onion insecticides from the dealers on a credit basis. Therefore, companies should define and ease the conditions for credit availability, so that it could be affordable for both farmers and dealers. Most of onion growers preferred the same brand and same quantity and shifted to other brands when insecticides were not available. Both farmers and dealers emphasized quality parameters while purchasing insecticide products, hence insecticide companies should highlight the quality parameters through better promotional activities.

Aims: To investigate the traditional / local seed processing system employed by farmers in the Adamawa region, examine the practices and techniques used in seed production and processing.
Study Design: A purposive random sampling technique was used.
Place and Duration of Study: This study was carried out at seven localities (Ngaousai, Youkou, Wakwa, Darang, Mbidjoro, Beka and Bini) in Adamawa region, Vina division (Ngoundere) between September and October 2019
Methodology: The research included a combination of phone calls interviews, focus group discussion (FGD) and use of semi-structured questionnaires. The views of 16 farmers were sampled focusing on socioeconomic characteristics, the benefits of Urochloa grass, perception of Urochloa grass and seeds production system as well as cost of production of Urochloa seeds. The economic return in terms of benefit/cost ratio was calculated taking into consideration the current prices of various inputs.
Results: Male-headed families made up 81% of the respondents. Most of the respondents were within the productive ages of 31-40 years (31%) and 41-50 years (31%). Majority of respondents (75%) owned their farms and most of them (63%) have been farming for more than 10 years, with (44%) of them farming on areas between 5 and 10 hectares. 68.7% of the respondents get their seeds from past harvest. Most of the farmers (86.7%) harvest seeds using direct heading. Over all, the majority of respondents (81.25%) prepare their seeds by sun drying. In terms of economic value, results showed a Benefit: Cost ratio of more than 1.
Conclusion: The study contributes to the preservation and dissemination of indigenous knowledge related to Urochloa seed processing method. Thereby reducing the dependence of importing seeds to enhance livestock production. These findings underscore the potential of Urochloa seed production as a profitable agricultural activity that can contribute to the economic well-being of farmers in the region.

Genetic variability, correlation and path coefficient analysis for 8 yield contributing traits were studied in multi-parent derived F2 population obtained from crossing 4 commercial hybrids (S-85×IndamRohini) × (Mahyco-701×Indus-1105). For the current study, 285 multi-parent derived F2 plants were used. The study indicated the presence of immense variability for all the traits under study viz, days to 50% flowering, plant height, number of primary branches per plant, number of secondary branches per plant, number of clusters per plant, number of fruits per plant, average fruit weight and fruit yield per plant. High variability was witnessed due to the higher values of PCV and GCV and large variation in the F2 range for all the traits in comparison with the parental range of all the traits. This might be due to the involvement of the genome constitution from multiple parents. All the characters exhibited high estimates of heritability coupled with high genetic advance, hence all the characters can be improved through selection. Correlation indicated that yield per plant was significantly and positively associated with average fruit weight and number of fruits per plant. Average fruit weight and number of fruits per plant showed the highest positive direct effect on fruit per plant. Direct selection can be executed considering these traits as the main selection criteria to minimize the indirect effect of other traits. The genetic variability displayed in the present study can be well exploited to broaden the genetic base of the crop. Meantime, the efficient use of significant correlation and the relatedness in the commercially target traits can yield fruits of rapid trait improvement in near future.

AbstractThis study aimed to investigate the awareness of high and pathological myopia among patients with high myopia. A cross‐sectional multicenter survey involving both physicians and patients was conducted between February and April 2021. The outpatient education status, doctors' expectations toward patient education, patients' awareness of high/pathological myopia, and their access to relevant knowledge were inquired, and the proportions of patients with myopia, including high and pathological myopia, were assessed. In total, the survey involved 6975 physicians and patients with myopia from 161 medical institutions in China. The prevalence of high myopia among patients was 11.3%, with 22.59% having pathological myopia. Among those with pathological myopia, 22.45% experienced high myopia complications. Approximately 48.7% of the physicians believed that patients had only a vague idea about high/pathological myopia, with certain misconceptions. Additionally, most outpatients (61.4%) had no access to specialized staff for patient education. Patients' preferences and requirements for online ophthalmology information varied based on family background, medical history, and cognition toward myopia. This study demonstrated that the awareness level among patients with myopia regarding high and pathological myopia is currently insufficient. Therefore, it is important to enhance education efforts to reduce the incidence of adverse outcomes.

AbstractObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to analyze barriers to medical care and follow‐up in patients with allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS).Study DesignCross‐sectional questionnaire‐based study with retrospective chart review.SettingTertiary Medical Center.MethodsSubjects with AFRS and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) were prospectively recruited for completion of the Barriers to Care Questionnaire (BCQ) and formal chart review.ResultsFifty‐nine AFRS and 51 CRSwNP patients participated. AFRS patients were more likely to be lost to follow‐up within 6 months of surgery (35.6% vs 17.7%, P = 0.04) and no‐show at least 1 appointment (20.3% vs 5.9%, P = 0.03) compared to CRSwNP patients. Men with AFRS were more likely to have only a single follow‐up visit (37.0% vs 3.1%, P < 0.001) and be lost to follow‐up (66.7% vs 9.4%, P < 0.001) than women. There were no significant differences in the BCQ between groups; however, rate of questionnaire completion was lower in the AFRS group than the CRS group (62.7% vs 80.4%, P = 0.042). AFRS patients who did not complete the BCQ were more likely to be male (63.6% vs 35.1%, P = 0.034), lost to follow‐up (77.3% vs 10.8%, P < 0.0001), and have a single follow‐up visit (40.9% vs 5.4%, P < 0.0001). Younger age was associated with increased likelihood of having a single follow‐up visit (odds ratio 1.143, 95% CI 1.022‐1.276).ConclusionYoung, male AFRS patients are more frequently lost to follow‐up after surgery and less likely to complete questionnaires assessing barriers to care. Further investigation is needed to assess barriers to follow‐up in these at‐risk groups.

Published: November 2023

AbstractThis paper proposes a new approach to fuzzy clustering of time series based on the dissimilarity among conditional higher moments. A system of weights accounts for the relevance of each conditional moment in defining the clusters. Robustness against outliers is also considered by extending the above clustering method using a suitable exponential transformation of the distance measure defined on the conditional higher moments. To show the usefulness of the proposed approach, we provide a study with simulated data and an empirical application to the time series of stocks included in the FTSEMIB 30 Index.

Published: November 2023

AbstractThe disposal and utilization of solid waste of coal gangue is one of the main problems in coal mining in China. Injecting coal gangue into goaf in the form of slurry can effectively solve the problems of ground stacking and environmental pollution prevention. In order to obtain the flow law of gangue slurry in the void of the accumulated rock in the goaf, a visualization simulation test device for gangue slurry permeation grouting in the goaf was independently designed. The flow and diffusion characteristics, flow and diffusion velocity changes, void pressure changes, and viscosity changes of three mass concentrations (76%, 78%, 80%) of gangue slurry in the void between caved rock blocks in goaf were studied by visual grouting simulation test. The results show that: (1) The seepage process of gangue slurry in the goaf simulation test is divided into three diffusion forms, namely radial diffusion, axial diffusion, and bidirectional diffusion. The three diffusion forms are interrelated and inseparable. (2) The initial flow velocity of the slurry with different concentrations is different under the same permeation grouting pressure, and the higher the slurry concentration, the smaller the initial flow velocity of the slurry. The velocity of the slurry has a nonlinear relationship with the diffusion distance of the slurry. (3) With the permeation and diffusion of slurry, pressure sensors at different positions are subjected to pressure from bottom to top and enter the pressure boost stage, gradually forming stress peaks. When the slurry exceeds the position of the pressure sensor, the pressure on the pressure sensor is weakened and begins to enter the pressure relief stage, and the stress decline trend gradually becomes gentle with time. (4) The water loss effect occurs during slurry flow interaction with rock mass, resulting in slurry viscosity increasing. The viscosity of the slurry affects the difference in the amount of viscosity change. The research results can provide a certain theoretical basis for the goaf gangue slurry filling project.

AbstractDeath and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) are major outcomes of glomerular disease. (GD) The years of potential life lost (YLL) may provide additional insight into the disease burden beyond death rates. There is limited data on premature mortality in GD. In this retrospective observational cohort study, we evaluated the mortality, ESKD rates, and YLL in Thais with biopsy-proven GD. The mortality and combined outcome rates were determined by log-rank test and ESKD by using a competing risk model. YLL and premature life lost before age 60 were calculated for different GD based on the life expectancy of the Thai population. Patients with GD (n = 949) were followed for 5237 patient years. The death rate and ESKD rates (95%CI) were 4.2 (3.7–4.9) and 3.3 (2.9–3.9) per 100 patient-years, respectively. Paraprotein-related kidney disease had the highest death rate, and diabetic nephropathy had the highest ESKD rate. Despite not having the highest death rate, lupus nephritis (LN) had the highest YLL (41% of all GD) and premature loss of life before age 60. In conclusion, YLL provided a different disease burden assessment compared to mortality rates and identified LN as the major cause of premature death due to GD in a Southeast Asian cohort.
Single image denoising based on adaptive fusion dual‐domain network

Published: November 2023

AbstractDeep learning‐based‐image denoising methods have recently achieved excellent performance by learning non‐linear mapping in the spatial domain. However, these methods fail to address the noise without specific distribution because they only use features of the spatial domain. Meanwhile, existing methods that utilize features in the frequency domain fail to combine the detailed information of both domains properly for effective reconstruction and demonstrate poor generalization. Therefore, a novel adaptive fusion dual‐domain network (AFDN) is introduced for single image restoration. Different from deep learning‐based methods, which operate on the spatial or dual‐domains in a certain order, the proposed AFDN combine the spatial‐domain image and corresponding frequency‐domain image as the input and use the interlacing dual‐domain module with flexible adaptability to learn the relationship between spatial and frequency domains. In experimental results, the AFDN is compared with several state‐of‐the‐art restoration methods. Quantitative results showed that the AFDN achieves enhanced effects and high index values. The code of this paper will be released at https://github.com/jzw0707/AFDN
A DenseNet‐based feature weighting convolutional network recognition model and its application in industrial part classification
Authors: An Kang , Sun Xiaoqing , Song Yaqing , Lu Yebin , Shangguan Qianqian 
Published: November 2023

AbstractTraditional warehousing typically needs machine learning or manual tagging to classify objects. However, this method is less robust and consumes a lot of labour and material resources. Based on DenseNet, this work proposes a feature weighting convolutional network recognition model and designs a set of software and hardware for data acquisition, which is applied to the efficient classification of industrial parts in warehouse management. Firstly, this work modifies DenseNet by embedding SE‐Block, and replaces the cross‐entropy loss function with the focus loss function to optimize the model structure. Secondly, a multi‐view hardware and software acquisition system is designed to complete the functions of part image acquisition, image preprocessing, model training and part recognition. Finally, an industrial parts sorting experiment was designed. Compared with the original DenseNet model, the proposed weighted convolutional network identification model showed that the accuracy of the modified model was increased by 3.09% and the convergence rate was significantly improved. The modified model proposed in this work aims to improve the recognition accuracy of industrial parts in modern warehouse management, so as to modify the classification efficiency of warehouse parts in production.
