Abstract. A new algorithm to derive near-real-time (NRT) data products for the Aura Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) is presented. The old approach was based on a simplified optimal estimation retrieval algorithm (OE-NRT) to reduce computational demands and latency. This paper describes the setup, training, and evaluation of a redesigned approach based on artificial neural networks (ANN-NRT), which is trained on >17 years of MLS radiance observations and composition profile retrievals. Comparisons of joint histograms and performance metrics derived between the two NRT results and the operational MLS products demonstrate a noticeable statistical improvement from ANN-NRT. This new approach results in higher correlation coefficients, in addition to lower root-mean-square deviations and biases at almost all retrieval levels compared to OE-NRT. The exceptions are pressure levels with concentrations close to 0 ppbv (parts per billion by volume), where the ANN models fail to establish a functional relationship and tend to predict 0. Depending on the application, this behavior might be advantageous. While the developed models can take advantage of the extended MLS data record, this study demonstrates that training ANN-NRT on just a single year of MLS observations is sufficient to improve upon OE-NRT. This confirms the potential of applying machine learning to the NRT efforts of other current and future mission concepts.

A twelve-month study over a year was conducted from Januaryto December 2016 to determine condition factor and health condition of garua bachcha, Clupisoma garua (Hamilton, 1822) in the river Old Brahmaputra, Bangladesh.Condition factor of an individual fish was estimated as the ratio of the parameter, a in length-weight relationship (LWR), (W=aLb), and a' in a'=W/Lb, where, L and W are length and weight of the individual fish respectively. The study calculated condition factors in four ways. Firstly,it was determined according to length classes of each month with corresponding monthly LWR, secondly, according to length classes of each month with LWR of pooled data over the study period. The third and final ways wereemployed according to length classes with LWR of pooled data over the study period, and according to monthly mean length and mean weight data with LWR of pooled data over the study period respectively. Garua bachcha were not in ideal health condition irrespective of length classes and months under any of above mentioned methods of calculation, rather they were either lean or plump during study period. Monthly health conditions did not reveal any definite trend.Monthly sample-wise a'/a values explained that fish individuals were lean in January, while they attained plump health in other months from February to December.

The brain and spinal cord make up the central nervous system and studying its morphology and morphometry in African side necked turtle (Pelusios castaneus) enhance understanding the neurobiology of this reptile. The current study is aimed to document the normal features on gross morphology and morphometry of the brain of Pelusios castaneus, and discuss the structure-function paradigm. The study was conducted on six (6) brains of African side necked turtle without sex differences. The main morphologic features observed were: 1- a pear-shaped olfactory brain, sand-wished between the two eyes and grossly divided into i) olfactory bulb, ii) olfactory tract and iii) olfactory lobe. 2- smooth cerebrum lacking gyri and sulci, and narrowed rostrally but broad caudally, 3- bi-lobed optic structure separating the cerebrum from cerebellum, 4- developed cerebellum with large corpus cerebelli and small flocculus. 5-pons and medulla oblongata were developed, and made up the myelencephalon. The mean body, head and brain weights were 111.69±21.04g, 4.58±0.60g and0.35±0.04g respectively. While brain weight accounts for 0.34% of total body weight and 8% of head weight, brain somatic index was 0.0034±0.0004 and head brain index was 7.60±0.70 respectively. The study provided baseline data on the gross morphology and morphometry of the brain of African side necked turtle (Pelusios castaneus); which is of great benefit in understanding the neurobiology of this reptile.

Published: June 2023

The present work was undertaken to study the gross morphological features of the sternum, pectoral girdle and wing bones of adult black-crowned crane. The bones were processed using standard techniques to highlight structural details. The sternum was triangular shaped, comprised of three borders and two surfaces. The dorsal border was slightly shallow medially having linearly arranged pneumatic foramina. The basal border was strongly convex and bears a prominent sternal crest. The cranial border was broad and transversely convex with shallow grooves on the lateral edges for articulation with the coracoid bones. There were seven pairs of ribs that articulated with corresponding sterno-costal bones. The shoulder girdle comprised of the blade-like scapula, coracoid, and the clavicles which fused proximally to form the foramen triosseum. The humerus was pneumatic tubular bone with flat expanded proximal ends and small rounded distal ends. The ulna and radius were of comparatively equal length, separated along their long axis by extended interosseous space. The carpus consisted of the ulnar carpal bone and radial carpal bone. Whereas, the carpo-metacarpal comprised of three primary bones that articulated distally with corresponding rays of digits.

As bacias hidrográficas enfrentam conturbações ambientais que dificultam a qualidade de um manancial hídrico e o volume apropriado para o abastecimento humano. Diante disso, é necessário haver cuidados advindos da população e das atividades desempenhadas nas áreas. As mudanças no uso e cobertura da terra estão aumentando ao longo do tempo. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste estudo foi investigar quais são as atividades (uso e ocupação do solo) que acontecem na bacia Hidrográfica do Arroio São Lourenço-RS e como a educação ambiental poderia auxiliar na sua gestão. Foi realizado um mapeamento a partir de ferramentas do Sistema de Informação Geográfica (SIG), com o software QGIS, no qual foi utilizado a classificação "pixel a pixel" de imagens de satélites Landsat de 2021. Como resultado, foi identificado que a área urbana tem uma ocupação modesta, com relação a agricultura, que é a principal atividade da bacia. Portanto, o grande potencial de degradação desta bacia provém da agricultura. Destarte, levar a educação ambiental para o campo seria de grande valia para construir a conscientização ambiental, a fim de preservar os ecossistemas e principalmente o recurso hídrico a qual é responsável pelo abastecimento do município de São Lourenço do Sul.

Dalam masyarakat Indonesia yang menganut heteronormatif, homoseksual dipandang bertentangan dengan norma sosial agama. Akibatnya, muncul sikap negatif atau prasangka terhadap homoseksual. Berbagai faktor yang membentuk prasangka yaitu religious fundamentalism dan intergroup anxiety sebagai anteseden prasangka terhadap homoseksual. Penelitian ini bertujuan menguji dan menjelaskan hubungan kecemasan antarkelompok dan fundamentaslime beragama dengan prasangka terhadap homoseksual pada mahasiswa. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain cross-sectional survey, dengan sampel penelitian (N = 385) berusia 17-25 tahun, mahasiswa di Jawa Timur dan Bali, berjenis kelamin perempuan dan laki-laki heteroseksual yang dipilih dengan teknik accidental sampling. Fundamentalisme beragama, kecemasan antarkelompok, dan prasangka terhadap homoseksual diukur menggunakan skala. Hasil analisis regresi linear berganda menunjukkan fundamentalisme beragama dan kecemasan antarkelompok berperan secara signifikan dalam memprediksi prasangka terhadap homoseksual (R = 0,529; R2 = 0,276; F = 74,110; p < 0,001). Melalui analisis tambahan diketahui bahwa keterkaitan individu dengan kelompok homoseksual juga berperan prasangka mereduksi homoseksual. Implikasi teoritis dan praktis dari hasil penelitian ini didiskusikan lebih lanjut.
