description: Effects of high and low cast feed on the hatching and survival rate of freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rogenbergii larvae were observed. Three different treatments (T1, T2 and T3) were designed with three types of feeds as follows: T1, Saudi-Bangla Prawn feed 100%; T2,Saudi-Bangla prawn feed 50% + low cast feed 50%; T3, low cast feed 100%. The prawns were reared from February to May 2001 until they became mature enough to breed. The results showed that the average value of hatching rate was 90.14%, 89.69% and 89.29% and the average survival rate of larvae was 39.44%, 38.88% and 38.33% in Tl, T2 and T3 respectively. There were no significant differences (P>0.05) between hatching and survival rate of M. rogenbergii from different feeding trails. The price of Saudi-Bangla prawn feed was very high (Tk. 24/kg) than the local feed (Tk. 14/kg). So, use of local feed was recommended for M. rogenbergii brood rearing.
A microeconometric study of Turkish trade policy: Market power, productivity and international competitiveness
Creators: name: Altiner-Atac, Ayse Beril
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation develops several empirical models based on recent developments in international trade theory that have emphasized the role of scale economies and imperfect competition as a basis for trade among nations. To evaluate the implications of imperfect competition and scale economies for the performance of Turkish manufacturing, this dissertation develops four models for estimating market power and productivity. These models are used to investigate the impact of trade reform on economic performance in Turkish manufacturing over the period 1983 to 1990 using KLEM panel data on 72 manufacturing sectors with ownership detail. Consideration of imperfect competition and scale economies is especially important for a developing country such as Turkey. Turkish manufacturing is characterized by small domestic markets and the historically important institutional role reflected in public enterprises. These features of Turkish manufacturing are clearly inconsistent with perfect competition. Furthermore, with the small size of the domestic market the only way to exploit economies of scale is to access foreign markets through international trade. Analyzing such complex phenomena requires a variety of strategies that motivate the models used in this dissertation. The models range from simple data-based models to advanced econometric specifications of Turkish manufacturing in an open economy under imperfect competition. The advanced model used in this dissertation is especially important because it brings together recent developments in international trade theory and industrial organization using a theoretically consistent model of firm behavior that consist of a multi-product cost function, and supply response functions and demand equations. International trade is consistently incorporated into the behavioral equations. Estimates of market power and productivity derived from the range of models estimated in this dissertation are examined for public and private enterprises using structural and trade policy variables in a conventional response surface analysis. This dissertation finds that there are important differences between public and private enterprises. It seems that, on average, market power among private enterprises is greater than among public enterprises. We also find that some indication of productivity decline in both types of enterprises over the period under study. Imports as a market discipline hypothesis seems to be supported in public enterprises, while exports are associated with increases in market power. Finally, imports do not appear to be important in explaining public or private sector productivity, though exports are associated with productivity increases in both types of enterprises.

description: The production performance of Macrobrachium rosenbergii was compared in monoculture and polyculture systems with Indian major carps, Labe° rohita and Catla catla. The stocking density of prawn in monoculture was 13,545/ha; in polyculture the prawn was stocked at 8,645/ha while rohu and catla were each equally stocked at 2,470/ha. In monoculture, the initial weight of prawn was 4.13 ± 0.15 g and in polyculture system the average initial weight of prawn, rohu and catla were 4.10 ± 0.10, 68.0 ± 3.93 and 73.33 ± 3.05 g respectively. The final average weight of M. rosenbergii was 103.03 ± 6.80 and 92.83 ±3.55 g in monoculture and polyculture ponds respectively. The final average weight of rohu and catla were obtained at 278.56 ± 10.37 and 262.81 ± 11.62 g respectively. In both the systems, fertilizer and supplementary feed were used. The survival rate of prawn in monoculture and polyculture were found at 65% and 75% respectively; survival for both rohu and catla was obtained at 90%. The total production of prawn in monoculture and polyculture systems were 906.8 and 605.18 kg/ha respectively where the production of rohu and catla in polyculture were 619.1 and 584.2 kg/ha respectively. The average production costs in monoculture and polyculture systems were 149,510.7 Tk/ha and 150,058 Tk/ha respectively. In monoculture and polyculture systems the gross incomes were 255,650 and 295,066 Tk/ha respectively. The net incomes for the systems were 106,139.3 and 145,008 Tk/ha respectively. The study concluded that the polyculture of M. rosenbergii is comparatively more preferable in traditional and improved traditional polyculture systems.

description: This dissertation is based on one year of fieldwork, conducted in Chiapas, Mexico, and the departments of Quiche and Huehuetenango, Guatemala, from 1991 to 1992. The focus of the investigation is on explaining the attitudes of Guatemalan refugees toward repatriating. It contributes to the refugee studies debate between proponents of forced repatriation, and those who support voluntary repatriation. The main site of the field research was a Guatemalan refugee camp in Chiapas. Most of the refugees in the camp were Kanjobal and Mam Indians. The strategy for collecting data included anthropological methods such as household survey, participant observation, and ethnographic interviewing. Those interviewed for the dissertation include refugees in numerous camps in Chiapas, refugee workers, and Guatemalans who had already repatriated. The dissertation discusses and analyzes many factors influencing the refugees' decision concerning if and when they wanted to repatriate to Guatemala. There is an emphasis on the origins of the refugee crisis, and on various aspects of Kanjobal culture, social structure, and economics as potential influences on the repatriation decision-making process. There is also a description of social, economic, and security conditions in Mexico and Guatemala. Among the specific variables found to have significant associations with attitudes toward repatriation were family structure, ethnicity, gender, and place of origin. Specifically, heads of household living in joint families, Mam Indians, females, and refugees who had lived in the Ixcan region of Guatemala expressed the greatest willingness to repatriate soon and were making plans to do so. The analysis of the data supports voluntary repatriation theory.

description: An experiment was conducted at Payari union of Phulpur upazila (AEZ # 9) under Mymensingh district to determine the groundwater quality for irrigation and drinking water quality in relation to arsenic contamination. The EC of water samples were excellent to good, SAR was normal, residual sodium bi-carbonate (RSBC) was satisfactory and permeability index (PI) was in good category. pH was neutral to slightly alkaline and total hardness (TH) values were in soft to very hard classes. Soluble sodium percentage (SSP) was within the range of permissible to doubtful. The maximum water samples were found .harmful to soil with respect to magnesium adsorption ratio (MAR) and Kelly's ratio (KR). Ion concentrations were far below the recommended upper limit of irrigation water except magnesium indicating restricted irrigation use. Most of the water quality parameters were found to be correlated with each other and soluble sodium percentage (SSP) and permeability index (PI) were found to be highly correlated. In the study area, 11 groundwater samples showed presence of arsenic beyond the safe limit (>0.05 mg1:1).

Bembidion capito

description: Bembidion (Testedium) capito J. Müller, 1918
 Material Examined. Amanos Mountains, Hatay province, Dörtyol, Kuzuculu, Deliçay, 36°53′21″N, 36°15′17″E, 152 m, 17 June 2010, 2♂♂, 1♀.
 Distribution in Turkey. Amanos Mountains, Hatay province, Dörtyol, Kuzuculu, Deliçay (Fig. 1). This species is reported for the first time from Turkey.
 World Distribution. Iran (Marggi et al. 2003) and Turkey (Fig. 2).
 Remarks. Specimens were collected from a gravelly, rocky stream margin by hand (Fig. 3). Bembidion capito was previously only known from Sultanabad, Iran, thus with this new record its Palaearctic distribution is expanded westward.
 Müller (1918) described B. capito as a subspecies of B. bipunctatum and stated it has a larger head, due to larger eyes, pronotum with lateral margin narrower, and elytra shorter and wider than Bembidion (Testedium) bipunctatum rugiceps Chaudoir (= B. bipunctatum bipunctatum). However, Marggi et al. (2003) consider B. capito a valid species. Bembidion capito is closely related to B. bipunctatum bipunctatum, but can be easily distinguished by its large eyes, more transverse pronotum, head and pronotum less punctured, and elytral striae shallower with faint punctures.
 The Amanos Mountains, which are one of the most tectonic ranges in the world, possess a unique importance because of their geographical position (Okur and Yalçın-Özdilek 2008). The Amanos mountain range is accepted as a typical barrier (or border) for the distribution of syrio-exemial faunal elements in the west or for the Mediterranean faunal element in the east (Çıplak et al. 1993; Demirsoy 1996; Uğurtaş et al. 2000).

A comparative assessment of the effectiveness of international/intercultural education in the general education program at American University
Creators: name: Ballou, Cathryn Dawn
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The purpose of this study was to determine if a semester of classroom teaching in international/intercultural courses of American University's General Education Program influences global-mindedness in entering freshmen. A modification of the "Global-Mindedness Scale" (GMS) was administered at the beginning of the fall 1995 and spring 1996 semesters. The GMS measures five dimensions: responsibility for people in all parts of the world, appreciation of cultural pluralism, belief in individual efficacy, globalcentric thinking, and awareness and appreciation of the interconnectedness of peoples and nations. Pre-test to post-test scores declined slightly but consistently, and in some cases statistically significantly, for both the experimental group, which took at least one Curricular Area 3 course (N = 162), and the control group, which did not (N = 146). However, the global-mindedness of the experimental group declined in some cases less than those of the control group, depending on the course taken. The only variable which seemed to have an influence was political viewpoint, with the more conservative students becoming less global-minded. Correlations between the characteristics of the students and their global-mindedness were similar to other studies. The more global-minded included those who participated in more activities focusing on another culture or country, those having more cross-cultural friends, those who were more liberal politically, and women. The results obtained could be attributed to several reasons. The circumstances under which the pre-test and post-test were administered were somewhat different and may have had an impact. In addition, there may have been other influences on the study population. The "Republican revolution" focusing on conservative issues at the time of the study also may have had a dampening effect. Finally, one semester is a short time period in which to determine the effects of education intended to influence attitude. It was recommended that the General Education Program examine the courses in its international/intercultural area to determine if they meet the stated goals of the program.

description: В статье рассмотрены аспекты достижения конкурентоспособности системы среднего профессионального образования в информационном обществе. Приведены основные доводы о необходимости ее совершенствования. Отмечается, что зарубежные системы среднего профессионального образования также сталкиваются со значительными трудностями, которые сформировались еще в индустриальную эпоху. Указывается, что за рубежом имеют место смешанные программы обучения, в которых усилен акцент на взаимодействии учреждений системы среднего профессионального образования и высших учебных заведений. Это обеспечивает преемственность в иерархическом подходе при развитии образовательных систем различного уровня, а также позволяет выделить наиболее перспективных учащихся с целью продолжения их обучения. Так же важным выводом является то, что российская система среднего профессионального образования отстает от зарубежных в плане придания высокого имиджа, значимости рабочих специальностей. Особенно преуспели в этом системы среднего профессионального образования Финляндии, Германии, характеризующиеся высоким уровнем индустриального развития, социально-экономической стабильностью, высоким качеством продукции. Это обусловлено состоявшейся и продолжающейся гармонизацией системы среднего профессионального образования.

description: We present the first nucleon-nucleon potential at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (fourth order) of chiral perturbation theory. Charge-dependence is included up to next-to-leading order of the isospin-violation scheme. The accuracy for the reproduction of the NN data below 290 MeV lab. energy is comparable to the one of phenomenological high-precision potentials. Since NN potentials of order three and less are known to be deficient in quantitative terms, the present work shows that the fourth order is necessary and sufficient for a reliable NN potential derived from chiral effective Lagrangians. The new potential provides a promising starting point for exact few-body calculations and microscopic nuclear structure theory (including chiral many-body forces derived on the same footing).

 Material Examined. I have studied material from Konya province, Turkey (Avgın and Nodmar 2009) and Italy (Sardegna).
 Distribution in Turkey. This species is known from Anatolia (no specific locality) (Casale and Vigna Taglianti 1999) and Konya province (Avgın and Nodmar 2009).
 World Distribution. Europe: Greece, Italy; Asia: Turkey (Marggi et al. 2003). This range exemplifies an East-Mediterranean chorotype.
 The distributions of three Turkish species of Testedium representing three chorotype patterns is evidence that Turkey represents a crossroad of faunas from the west, east, and south. With the new record of B. capito in the Amanos Mountains in south-central Turkey, four species of the Bembidion subgenus Testedium are now known from Turkey.

This study focuses on a method that enables the contribution of seed cultivars to nationwide yield increases to be estimated by means of dividing the study period into several diffusion periods characterised by the replacement of major seed cultivars and by specifying a yield response model that incorporates a series of dummy variables to capture net increases due to new cultivar diffusion in each such period. Using this method, the contributions over the base period were estimated to be 1303.8 kg/ha, 523.0 kg/ha, 1179.5 kg/ha, 316.9 kg/ha, 196.8 kg/ha, and 414.2 kg/ha for rice, wheat, corn, soybeans, cotton, and rapeseed, respectively, accounting for 47.9%, 33.3%, 47.6%, 41.4%, 34.0%, and 46.5% of total yield increases, respectively. This method has several advantages, being concise, easy to use, and flexible; further, it can distinguish historical contributions of seed and can therefore be used for tracking assessments. It is thus likely to be applicable in several practical ways to measure the developmental status of both seed breeding technologies and agricultural techniques.

description: Cement is the most widely consumed material globally, with the cement industry accounting for 8% of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions. Aiming for cement composites with a reduced carbon footprint, this study investigates the potential of nanomaterials to improve mechanical characteristics. An important question is to increase the fraction of carbon-based nanomaterials within cement matrices while controlling the microstructure and enhancing the mechanical performance. Specifically, this study investigates the fracture response of Portland cement reinforced with one- and two-dimensional carbon-based nanomaterials, such as carbon nanofibres, multiwalled carbon nanotubes, helical carbon nanotubes and graphene oxide nanoplatelets. Novel processing routes are shown to incorporate 0.1–0.5 wt% of nanomaterials into cement using a quadratic distribution of ultrasonic energy. Scratch testing is used to probe the fracture response by pushing a sphero-conical probe against the surface of the material under a linearly increasing vertical force. Fracture toughness is then computed using a nonlinear fracture mechanics model. Nanomaterials are shown to bridge nanoscale air voids, leading to pore refinement, and a decrease in the porosity and the water absorption. An improvement in fracture toughness is observed in cement nanocomposites, with a positive correlation between the fracture toughness and the mass fraction of nanofiller for graphene-reinforced cement. Moreover, for graphene-reinforced cement, the fracture toughness values are in the range of 0.701 to 0.717 MPa$\sqrt \textrm{m} $. Thus, this study illustrates the potential of nanomaterials to toughen cement while improving the microstructure and water resistance properties.This article is part of the discussion meeting issue ‘A cracking approach to inventing tough new materials: fracture stranger than friction’.

description: We report an extensive numerical study of the small-scale turbulent dynamo at large magnetic Prandtl numbers Pm. A Pm scan is given for the model case of low-Reynolds-number turbulence. We concentrate on three topics: magnetic-energy spectra and saturation levels, the structure of the field lines, and the field-strength distribution. The main results are (1) the folded structure (direction reversals at the resistive scale, field lines curved at the scale of the flow) persists from the kinematic to the nonlinear regime; (2) the field distribution is self-similar and appears to be lognormal during the kinematic regime and exponential in the saturated state; and (3) the bulk of the magnetic energy is at the resistive scale in the kinematic regime and remains there after saturation, although the spectrum becomes much shallower. We propose an analytical model of saturation based on the idea of partial two-dimensionalization of the velocity gradients with respect to the local direction of the magnetic folds. The model-predicted spectra are in excellent agreement with numerical results. Comparisons with large-Re, moderate-Pm runs are carried out to confirm the relevance of these results. New features at large Re are elongation of the folds in the nonlinear regime from the viscous scale to the box scale and the presence of an intermediate nonlinear stage of slower-than-exponential magnetic-energy growth accompanied by an increase of the resistive scale and partial suppression of the kinetic-energy spectrum in the inertial range. Numerical results for the saturated state do not support scale-by-scale equipartition between magnetic and kinetic energies, with a definite excess of magnetic energy at small scales. A physical picture of the saturated state is proposed.

description: Accurately segmenting and individualizing cells in SEM images is a highly promising technique for elucidating tissue architecture in oncology. While current AI-based methods are effective, errors persist, necessitating time-consuming manual corrections, particularly in areas where the quality of cell contours in the image is poor and requires gap filling. This study presents a novel AI-driven approach for refining cell boundary delineation to improve instance-based cell segmentation in SEM images, also reducing the necessity for residual manual correction. A CNN COp-Net is introduced to address gaps in cell contours, effectively filling in regions with deficient or absent information. The network takes as input cell contour probability maps with potentially inadequate or missing information and outputs corrected cell contour delineations. The lack of training data was addressed by generating low integrity probability maps using a tailored PDE. We showcase the efficacy of our approach in augmenting cell boundary precision using both private SEM images from PDX hepatoblastoma tissues and publicly accessible images datasets. The proposed cell contour closing operator exhibits a notable improvement in tested datasets, achieving respectively close to 50% (private data) and 10% (public data) increase in the accurately-delineated cell proportion compared to state-of-the-art methods. Additionally, the need for manual corrections was significantly reduced, therefore facilitating the overall digitalization process. Our results demonstrate a notable enhancement in the accuracy of cell instance segmentation, particularly in highly challenging regions where image quality compromises the integrity of cell boundaries, necessitating gap filling. Therefore, our work should ultimately facilitate the study of tumour tissue bioarchitecture in onconanotomy field.

description: Automatic abstractive summaries are found to often distort or fabricate facts in the article. This inconsistency between summary and original text has seriously impacted its applicability. We propose a fact-aware summarization model FASum to extract and integrate factual relations into the summary generation process via graph attention. We then design a factual corrector model FC to automatically correct factual errors from summaries generated by existing systems. Empirical results show that the fact-aware summarization can produce abstractive summaries with higher factual consistency compared with existing systems, and the correction model improves the factual consistency of given summaries via modifying only a few keywords.

Orthodox stabilization policies and stagflation: A neo-structuralist analysis of inflation and ouput effects in Nigeria

description: This study applies a neo-structuralist model of stagflationary monetary restraint and contractionary devaluation in a semi-industrialized economy to the case of Nigeria in 1960-1986. The model is based on the assumption that significant outlays for firms' working-capital needs are financed with short-term credit obtained from the informal (curb) credit market. In this setting, orthodox stabilization policies that increase the marginal interest rate in the curb market may lead to short-term stagflation via their effects on supply. The study is conducted using a model of the Nigerian economy that explicitly incorporates salient "stylized facts" about its financial and real sectors. These stylized facts include credit rationing, inflationary expectations, reliance on curb-market finance, and ex post product-price adjustment. Partial equilibrium in the financial sector is attained quickly through variations in the curb-market rate, Financial-sector disturbances impact real macrovariables via the respective effects of the curb-market rate on aggregate supply and demand. The econometric evidence shows that the necessary conditions for the short-term stagflationary effects of a credit squeeze, a reserve-deposit-ratio increase, or financial liberalization are satisfied in Nigeria. A large stagflationary bias implies that the contractionary demand-side effects of monetary restraint are accompanied by supply-side inflation. The sufficient conditions for stagflation are satisfied for each monetary-policy instrument tested. Given the constraint imposed on working-capital finance by credit rationing, a credit squeeze reduces output growth and increases inflation by a greater proportion than the case without credit rationing. The demand-side adjustments to monetary restraint are borne mostly by investment rather than by consumption with adverse consequences for growth. While interest costs are transmitted quickly into inflation, the deflationary demand-side effects of monetary restraint are slow in coming. Devaluation has contractionary output effects with a small impact on the trade deficit coming from the adjustment of real imports. The concluding chapter proposes a policy plan for Nigeria that is designed to mitigate both the inflationary and investment-reducing effects of orthodox stabilization policies. The short-run stabilization package includes a reserve-deposit-ratio increase and the expansion of bank credit to firms implemented under a more market-oriented scheme, a gradual naira devaluation, and a reduction in government spending.
