description: In this paper, we explore the power of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization (E-mode) data to corroborate four potential anomalies in CMB temperature data: the lack of large angular-scale correlations, the alignment of the quadrupole and octupole (Q-O), the point-parity asymmetry, and the hemispherical power asymmetry. We use CMB simulations with noise representative of three experiments -- the Planck satellite, the Cosmology Large Angular Scale Surveyor (CLASS), and the LiteBIRD satellite -- to test how current and future data constrain the anomalies. We find the correlation coefficients $ρ$ between temperature and E-mode estimators to be less than $0.1$, except for the point-parity asymmetry ($ρ=0.17$ for cosmic-variance-limited simulations), confirming that E-modes provide a check on the anomalies that is largely independent of temperature data. Compared to Planck component-separated CMB data (SMICA), the putative LiteBIRD survey would reduce errors on E-mode anomaly estimators by factors of $\sim 3$ for hemispherical power asymmetry and point-parity asymmetry, and by $\sim 26$ for lack of large-scale correlation. The improvement in Q-O alignment is not obvious due to large cosmic variance, but we found the ability to pin down the estimator value will be improved by a factor $\gtrsim100$. Improvements with CLASS are intermediate to these.

description: A cross-sectional study was conducted from December 2017 to April 2018 at Jigjiga municipal abattoir to assess the status of hydatidosis, determine its associated risk factors, characterize the cyst and estimate the annual financial loss due to organ condemnation in camels. Out of 415 slaughtered camels examined for the presence of hydatid cysts in the visceral organs, 78(18.79%) harbored visible hydatid cysts. The odds at which cysts detected were higher (p<0.05) in old aged camels (≥10 years) (AOR 8.8, 95% CI: 2.92-26.64) and nearly four times higher in medium aged camels (6-9 years) (AOR 4.14, 95% CI: 1.37-12.56) than camels aged ≤5 years. No significant variation was observed in relation to sex of camels (p>0.05). Occurrence of hydatidosis was significantly associated with body condition score of camels (p<0.05). Camels with poor and medium body condition were nearly seven times (AOR 7.04, 95% CI: 3.21-15.42) and more than two times (AOR 2.65, 95% CI: 1.46-4.74) more likely to harbor hydatid cysts than camels with good body condition scores, respectively. A total of 134 cysts were collected and the organ level distribution of the cysts were 55.2% (74/134), 40.32% (54/134), 3.73% (5/134) and 0.75% (1/134) in lung, liver, spleen and kidney, respectively. Among the total 134 cysts collected, 36.6% (49/134) were calcified while the rest 63.4% (85/134) were non-calcified. Among those non-calcified cysts, 35.3% (30/85) were fertile containing protoscoleces while the remaining 64.7% (55/85) were sterile. Among the 30 fertile cysts; 53.3% (16/30) were viable while 46.7% (14/30) non-viable. Of the total 85 non-calcified hydatid cysts evaluated for size, 40% (34/85), 38.8% (33/85) and 21.2% (18/85) were small, medium and large, respectively. Assessment of annual financial loss due to hydatidosis in camels slaughtered at Jigjiga municipal abattoir as a result of offal condemnation was estimated at 142,133.55 Birr (5214.95 USD) per annum (1$(USD) = 27.255ETB). The result showed that hydatidosis is one of the common diseases causing organ condemnation and financial loss to the butchers at Jigjiga. Hence, we suggest prohibition of backyard slaughter, creation of public awareness and control of stray dogs in order to reduce infection by the parasite.

description: The utilisation of sunlight as an abundant and renewable resource has motivated the development of sustainable photocatalysts that can collectively harvest visible light. However, the bottleneck in utilising the low energy photons has led to the discovery of plasmonic photocatalysts. The presence of noble metal on the plasmonic photocatalyst enables the harvesting of visible light through the unique characteristic features of the noble metal nanomaterials. Moreover, the formation of interfaces between noble metal particles and semiconductor materials further results in the formation of a Schottky junction. Thereby, the plasmonic characteristics have opened up a new direction in promoting an alternative path that can be of value to the society through sustainable development derived through energy available for all for diverse applications. We have comprehensively prepared this review to specifically focus on fundamental insights into plasmonic photocatalysts, various synthesis routes, together with their strengths and weaknesses, and the interaction of the plasmonic photocatalyst with pollutants as well as the role of active radical generation and identification. The review ends with a pinnacle insight into future perspectives regarding realistic applications of plasmonic photocatalysts. © 2018 Leong et al.

description: Given the prevalence of motor deficits post-stroke, a large proportion of stroke rehabilitation interventions are directed toward motor recovery. The purpose of this study is to present a detailed investigation of the methodological characteristics in the stroke rehabilitation literature with respect to randomized controlled trials (RCTs) designed to facilitate upper extremity motor recovery. This review was conducted following guidelines from the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta Analyses (PRISMA) statement. English articles of RCTs were eligible if they were published before April 1, 2021 and applied an intervention to the hemiparetic upper extremity of individuals post stroke as the primary objective of the study, or recorded at least one upper extremity related outcome measure. The number of RCTs for upper extremity rehabilitation interventions post stroke has been increasing, with over three quarters of RCTs published in the last decade. In total, 1,307 RCTs met inclusion criteria for which the mean sample size (start/finish) was 45.8 (SD 55.4)/41.8 (SD 49.7). The median sample size (start/finish) was 30 (IQR 20–48)/29 (IQR 19–44). The mean PEDro score was 6.12 (SD 1.55). 251 RCTs (19%) were multi-centered trials. Key methodological measures of quality remain low including the blinding of assessors (59%), intention to treat analyses (42%) and concealed allocation (37%). There is a large number of RCTs evaluating stroke rehabilitation upper extremity interventions. Research quality continues to be a challenge (low percentage of key quality indicators, small percentage of multicentred trials, small sample sizes) but is slowly improving.

description: Consider two data providers that want to contribute data to a certain learning model. Recent works have shown that the value of the data of one of the providers is dependent on the similarity with the data owned by the other provider. It would thus be beneficial if the two providers can calculate the similarity of their data, while keeping the actual data private. In this work, we devise multiparty computation-protocols to compute similarity of two data sets based on correlation, while offering controllable privacy guarantees. We consider a simple model with two participating providers and develop methods to compute exact and approximate correlation, respectively, with controlled information leakage. Both protocols have computational and communication complexities that are linear in the number of data samples. We also provide general bounds on the maximal error in the approximation case, and analyse the resulting errors for practical parameter choices.

description: To investigate the validity and reliability of using the Valedo® system to measure trunk Range of Motion (ROM) during performance of the streamlined Wolf Motor Function Test (SWMFT). Twenty chronic strokes and 20 age-matched healthy participants performed SWMFT while wearing Valedo® sensors on their trunks to capture trunk movements. A paired sample T-test was used to examine the validity of the system in distinguishing between the healthy and stroke group, and between the affected and unaffected sides in the stroke group. Interclass correlation coefficients were used to assess the inter-rater and intra-rater reliability (between-days) with 95% CI. The Valedo® system was able to distinguish between stroke and healthy participants; stroke participants employed greater trunk range of movements than the healthy controls in all tasks (p < .01). Furthermore, the Valedo® system enabled differentiation between affected and unaffected hands of people within the stroke group. The reliability for the stroke group was good to excellent with intrarater reliability (ICC = 0.71–0.92) and interrater reliability (ICC = 0.63–0.95). The Valedo system demonstrates an acceptable level of validity and reliability for measuring trunk ROM during the Streamlined Wolf Motor Function Test (SWMFT). Future studies with a larger sample size, different levels of upper limb impairment are warranted.

description: Sub-millimetre dust emission is often used to derive the column density N of dense interstellar clouds. The observations consist of data at several wavelengths but of variable resolution. We examine two procedures that been proposed for the estimation of high resolution N maps. Method A uses a low-resolution temperature map combined with higher resolution intensity data while Method B combines N estimates from different wavelength ranges. Our aim is to determine the accuracy of the methods relative to the true column densities and the estimates obtainable with radiative transfer modelling. We use magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) simulations and radiative transfer calculations to simulate sub-millimetre observations at the wavelengths of the Herschel Space Observatory. The observations are analysed with the methods and the results compared to the true values and to the results from radiative transfer modelling of observations. Both methods A and B give relatively reliable column density estimates at the resolution of 250um data while also making use of the longer wavelengths. For high signal-to-noise data, the results of Method B are better correlated with the true column density, while Method A is less sensitive to noise. When the cloud has internal heating, results of Method B are consistent with those that would be obtained with high-resolution data. Because of line-of-sight temperature variations, these underestimate the true column density and, because of a favourable cancellation of errors, Method A can sometimes give more correct values. Radiative transfer modelling, even with very simple 3D cloud models, can provide better results. However, the complexity of the models required for improvements increases rapidly with the complexity and opacity of the clouds.

description: In this commentary, I propose a framework for thinking about data quality in the context of scientific research. I start by analyzing conceptualizations of quality as a property of information, evidence and data and reviewing research in the philosophy of information, the philosophy of science and the philosophy of biomedicine. I identify a push for purpose dependency as one of the main results of this review. On this basis, I present a contextual approach to data quality in scientific research, whereby the quality of a dataset is dependent on the context of use of the dataset as much as the dataset itself. I exemplify the approach by discussing current critiques and debates of scientific quality, thus showcasing how data quality can be approached contextually.

description: Surra caused by Trypanosoma evansi is one of the important pathogenic parasitic diseases of camels, equines, other domestic and wild animals. T. evansi type A is endemic to Africa, Latin America, and Asia while T. evansi type B is so far identified only in Ethiopian and Kenyan camels. Little is known about the pathogenicity of T. evansi. This study was conducted to determine the pathogenicity of T. evansi type A and B in Swiss albino mice colony. We genetically characterized two T. evansi type A and two T. evansi type B isolated from camels in Tigray and Afar. Six mice were infected by each of the isolates and compared with 6 uninfected mice (control). Parasitemia was followed on Matching Method. Weight and PCV of each mouse were measured pre-infection and after 6 days post-infection. Each mouse was examined for visible clinical signs. Highly parasitaemic mice were euthanized on diethyl ether to collect vital organs for gross and histopathologic examination. Major clinical signs in infected mice were rough hair coats, pale mucous membranes of the eye, and incoordination. Compared to the control, there were no significant reductions in the body weight of mice (T. evansi type A, p= 0.493, T. evansi type B, p=0.299), but there was significant reduction in the mean PCV values in both T. evansi type A (p= 0.0001) and T. evansi type B (p= 0.0008) stocks. Splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, edema and pneumonia were the prominent lesions observed at necropsy. Microscopic lesions seen in vital organs were congestion, capillaries distended with red blood cells, cellular infiltration, accumulation of hemosiderin, necrosis and degenerative changes. The clinical signs and gross and histopathologic lesions were comparable between mice infected by T. evansi type A and B. In conclusion, T. evansi type A and B showed similar in vivo pathogenicity. As a result, a special model for comparative pathological study on host-trypanosome interaction is essential.

description: Now-a-days, it is important to find out solutions of Multi-Objective Optimization Problems (MOPs). Evolutionary Strategy helps to solve such real world problems efficiently and quickly. But sequential Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) require an enormous computation power to solve such problems and it takes much time to solve large problems. To enhance the performance for solving this type of problems, this paper presents a new Distributed Novel Evolutionary Strategy Algorithm (DNESA) for Multi-Objective Optimization. The proposed DNESA applies the divide-and-conquer approach to decompose population into smaller sub-population and involves multiple solutions in the form of cooperative sub-populations. In DNESA, the server distributes the total computation load to all associate clients and simulation results show that the time for solving large problems is much less than sequential EAs. Also DNESA shows better performance in convergence test when compared with other three well-known EAs.

description: Calcium is beneficial to sweet cherry physiology. The objective was to investigate factors affecting uptake of Ca into mature sweet cherry fruit through their skins. Penetration of 45Ca-salts was monitored using whole fruit or excised fruit skins mounted in diffusion cells. Penetration of 45CaCl2 into intact fruit and through excised skins increased with time. Sealing the pedicel/fruit junction decreased penetration, but sealing the stylar scar had no effect. There was little difference in permeances of the fruit skin to 45CaCl2, 45Ca(NO3)2, 45Ca-formate, 45Ca-acetate, 45Ca-lactate or 45Ca-propionate. Only 45Ca-heptagluconate penetrated at a slower rate. Increasing temperature markedly increased Ca-penetration. Penetration was most rapid at 35 °C, intermediate at 22 °C and slowest at 12 °C. Increasing relative humidity (RH) from 0, 28, 75 to 100% increased penetration of 45CaCl2, but penetration of 45Ca-formate was restricted to 100% RH. Increasing the RH from 50 to 100% at 96 h after droplet application had no effect on penetration of 45CaCl2, but increased penetration of 45Ca-formate. The results reveal that: (1) the fruit/pedicel junction is a site of preferential Ca-uptake and (2) Ca-penetration is limited by the mobility of the Ca ion in the dried-down droplet residue when the point of deliquescence of the applied salt exceeds the ambient RH.

description: This thesis contributes to the field of collective effects in atomic ensembles. We explore synchronization of superradiant lasers in different coupling configurations and study superradiance in off-resonantly probed atomic ensembles, where we take into account the complete level structure of alkali metal atoms. In the first part we introduce the superradiant laser and extend the discussion of synchronization of symmetrically coupled superradiant lasers to unidirectional coupled superradiant lasers. We show that synchronization is also present when we replace the superradi- ant laser couplings with classical channels, meaning the synchronization can be considered a classical effect. In the second part we generalize a widely used approximation method taking into account lower order atom-atom correlations — the cumulant expansion method — to a basis independent formalism. We implement this formalism in a Python program allowing us to numerically calculate the n-atom reduced density matrix and two-time correlation functions for ensembles of multi-level atoms. This method allows us to study the stationary state of an ensemble of off-resonantly probed alkali metal atoms with a ground-state manifold consisting of many hyperfine levels. We show that collective effects in light-matter interaction depends on the tensor-polarizability of atoms and therefore cannot be explained on the basis of two-level-approximations.

What is redundant and what is not? Computational trade-offs in modelling to generate alternatives for energy infrastructure deployment

description: Given the urgent need to devise credible, deep strategies for carbon neutrality, approaches for `modelling to generate alternatives' (MGA) are gaining popularity in the energy sector. Yet, MGA faces limitations when applied to state-of-the-art energy system models: the number of alternatives that can be generated is virtually infinite; no realistic computational effort can discover the complete technology and spatial diversity. Here, based on our own SPORES method, a highly customisable and spatially-explicit advancement of MGA, we empirically test different search strategies - including some adapted from other MGA approaches - with the aim of identifying how to minimise redundant computation. With application to a model of the European power system, we show that, for a fixed number of generated alternatives, there is a clear trade-off in making use of the available computational power to unveil technology versus spatial diversity of system configurations. Moreover, we show that focussing on technology diversity may fail to identify system configurations that appeal to real-world stakeholders, such as those in which capacity is more spread out at the local scale. Based on this evidence that no feasible alternative can be deemed redundant a priori, we propose to initially search for options in a way that balances spatial and technology diversity; this can be achieved by combining the strengths of two different strategies. The resulting solution space can then be refined based on the feedback of stakeholders. More generally, we propose the adoption of ad-hoc MGA sensitivity analyses, targeted at testing a study's central claims, as a computationally inexpensive standard to improve the quality of energy modelling analyses.

description: Helium nanodroplets are widely used as a cold, weakly interacting matrix for spectroscopy of embedded species. In this work we excite or ionize doped He droplets using synchrotron radiation and study the effect onto the dopant atoms depending on their location inside the droplets (rare gases) or outside at the droplet surface (alkali metals). Using photoelectron-photoion coincidence imaging spectroscopy at variable photon energies (20-25 eV), we compare the rates of charge-transfer to Penning ionization of the dopants in the two cases. The surprising finding is that alkali metals, in contrast to the rare gases, are efficiently Penning ionized upon excitation of the (n=2)-bands of the host droplets. This indicates rapid migration of the excitation to the droplet surface, followed by relaxation, and eventually energy transfer to the alkali dopants.

description: Sub-millimetre dust emission provides information on the physics of interstellar clouds and dust. Noise can produce anticorrelation between the colour temperature T_C and the spectral index beta. This must be separated from the intrinsic beta(T) relation of dust. We compare methods for the analysis of the beta(T) relation. We examine sub-millimetre observations simulated as simple modified black body emission or using 3D radiative transfer modelling. In addition to chi^2 fitting, we examine the results of the SIMEX method, basic Bayesian model, hierarchical models, and one method that explicitly assumes a functional form for beta(T). All methods exhibit some bias. Bayesian method shows significantly lower bias than direct chi^2 fits. The same is true for hierarchical models that also result in a smaller scatter in the temperature and spectral index values. However, significant bias was observed in cases with high noise levels. Beta and T estimates of the hierarchical model are biased towards the relation determined by the data with the highest S/N ratio. This can alter the recovered beta(T) function. With the method where we explicitly assume a functional form for the beta(T) relation, the bias is similar to the Bayesian method. In the case of an actual Herschel field, all methods agree, showing some degree of anticorrelation between T and beta. The Bayesian method and the hierarchical models can both reduce the noise-induced parameter correlations. However, all methods can exhibit non-negligible bias. This is particularly true for hierarchical models and observations of varying signal-to-noise ratios and must be taken into account when interpreting the results.

description: The study was conducted in Digelu-Tijo and Meiso districts representing the mixed crop-livestock and agro-pastoral production systems, respectively with an objective of characterizing sheep production practices. A total of 150 households from six rural kebeles (75 households from each production system) were selected randomly based on sheep population and accessibility. Data were collected through structured questionnaire, focus group discussion and field observation. The average number of sheep per household in mixed crop-livestock (12.5±0.99) was higher (p<0.001) than that of agro-pastoral production system (6.2±0.34). The purposes of keeping sheep in both production systems were to generate income followed by saving, meat, and manure. Natural pasture and crop residues were the major feed resources in both production systems. Water sources were largely rivers, springs, ponds and pipe with different magnitude of use during wet and dry seasons. The major diseases and parasites of sheep during the dry season were pasteurellosis, sheep pox, orf, parasites, peste des petits ruminants (PPR), foot and mouth disease (FMD) and blackleg, while, liver flukes and lungworms were common across the production systems during the wet season. The survey revealed predominance of uncontrolled mating (97.7%) in mixed crop-livestock than the agro-pastoral (50.7%) production system (p<0.05). Despite diverse production management practices identified, overall sheep production systems were affected by constraints related to feed and water shortages and prevalence of infectious and parasitic diseases. Thus, to increase sheep productivity, designing and implementing sustainable sheep production improvement programs targeting at solving these constraints are crucial.

description: Population III stars forming in the infant universe at z=30 heralded the end of the cosmic dark ages. They are presumed to be assembled in so-called minihaloes with virial temperatures of a few thousand K where collapse is triggered by molecular hydrogen cooling. A central question concerns their final masses, and whether fragmentation occurs during their formation. While studies employing Lagrangian codes suggest fragmentation via a self-gravitating disk, recent high resolution simulations indicated that disk formation is suppressed. Here we report the first high-resolution large-eddy simulations performed with the Eulerian grid-based code Enzo following the evolution beyond the formation of the first peak, to investigate the accretion of the central massive clump and potential fragmentation. For a total of 3 halos, we see that a disk forms around the first clump. The central clump reaches $\sim10$ solar masses after 40 years, while subsequent accretion is expected at a rate of $10^{-2}$ solar masses per year. In one of these halos, additional clumps form as a result of fragmentation which proceeds at larger scales. We note that subgrid-scale turbulence yields relevant contributions to the stability of the protostellar disks. We conclude that the first protostar may reach masses up to $\rm 40-100 M_{\odot}$, which are only limited by the effect of radiative feedback.

description: Das personenbezogene Verknüpfen verschiedener Datenquellen (Datenlinkage) für Forschungszwecke findet in den letzten Jahren in Deutschland zunehmend Anwendung. Jedoch fehlen hierfür konsentierte methodische Standards. Ziel dieses Beitrages ist es, solche Standards für Forschungsvorhaben zu definieren. Eine weitere Intention ist es, dem Lesenden eine Checkliste zur Bewertung geplanter Forschungsvorhaben und Artikel bereitzustellen. Zu diesem Zweck hat eine aus Mitgliedern verschiedener Fachgesellschaften zusammengesetzte Expertengruppe seit 2016 insgesamt 7 Leitlinien mit 27 konkreten Empfehlungen erstellt. Die Gute Praxis Datenlinkage beinhaltet die folgenden Leitlinien: (1) Forschungsziele, Fragestellung, Datenquellen und Ressourcen, (2) Dateninfrastruktur und Datenfluss, (3) Datenschutz, (4) Ethik, (5) Schlüsselvariablen und Linkageverfahren, (6) Datenprüfung/Qualitätssicherung sowie (7) Langfristige Datennutzung für noch festzulegende Fragestellungen. Jede Leitlinie wird ausführlich diskutiert. Zukünftige Aktualisierungen werden wissenschaftliche und datenschutzrechtliche Entwicklungen berücksichtigen.

description: This study deals with meanings of economic insecurity for post-Soviet migrant women in Germany, Italy, and Spain, elaborating on its cultural underpinnings. Drawing upon several data sources, including interviews, observation, and online data, as well as judicial material, this study addresses the ways women from the former Soviet Union experience economic insecurity and which strategies they develop to cope. We consider women's age, social background, and level of education, analyzing their embeddedness into different life domains. We identify four patterns of coping with economic insecurity, linked to individual characteristics, cultural values and legal frame conditions in the countries under investigation, and provide implications for social mobility and conservative backlash in Europe. © Copyright © 2021 Gewinner and Salvino.

description: Infrared photometry of the probable triple WC4(+O?)+O8I: Wolf-Rayet system HD 36402 (= BAT99-38) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) shows emission characteristic of heated dust. The dust emission is variable on a time-scale of years, with a period near 4.7 yr, possibly associated with orbital motion of the O8 supergiant and the inner P ~ 3.03-d WC4+O binary. The phase of maximum dust emission is close to that of the X-ray minimum, consistent with both processes being tied to colliding wind effects in an elliptical binary orbit. It is evident that Wolf-Rayet dust formation occurs also in metal-poor environments.

description: The World Wide Web has become a popular source to gather information and news. Multimodal information, e.g., supplement text with photographs, is typically used to convey the news more effectively or to attract attention. The photographs can be decorative, depict additional details, but might also contain misleading information. The quantification of the cross-modal consistency of entity representations can assist human assessors’ evaluation of the overall multimodal message. In some cases such measures might give hints to detect fake news, which is an increasingly important topic in today’s society. In this paper, we present a multimodal approach to quantify the entity coherence between image and text in real-world news. Named entity linking is applied to extract persons, locations, and events from news texts. Several measures are suggested to calculate the cross-modal similarity of the entities in text and photograph by exploiting state-of-the-art computer vision approaches. In contrast to previous work, our system automatically acquires example data from the Web and is applicable to real-world news. Moreover, an approach that quantifies contextual image-text relations is introduced. The feasibility is demonstrated on two datasets that cover different languages, topics, and domains. © 2021, The Author(s).

description: A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of biological treatments of sugarcane bagasse (SCB) and rice husk (RH) with three strains of white-rot fungi (WRF) that include Pleurotus ostreatus (Po), Pleurotus florida (Pf) and Trichoderma viride (Tv) and effective microorganism (EM) on fermentation characteristics, chemical composition, and in sacco dry matter (DM) degradability. The experiment consisted of 2x5 factorial arrangements, two types of feed (SCB and RH) and five types of biological treatments (Control, Po, Pf, Tv, and EM). Sugarcane bagasse and rice husk were incubated with spawn fungi (10% w/w) and EM for 21 days, sensory evaluation were done and samples were dried in oven (60°C) in order to stop fungi growth. The pH of SCB (4.1±0.08) and RH (4.5±0.08) treated with EM fall within the range of acidity recommended for good quality silage. The pH value of SCB treated with Po (6.8±0.08) and Pf (6.6±0.08) was higher (P<0.01) than the other treatments, except the control (7.1±0.08). Treatment of RH with Tv, Po and Pf significantly increased the crude protein (CP) content from 7.9% in untreated to 10.46, 10.61 and 11.35% in the treated, respectively. The increase in CP% of sugarcane bagasse was from 2.61% to 3.41, 5.96, 5.89 and 5.95% for EM, Tv, Po and Pf treated treatments, respectively. All treatments significantly (P<0.001) decreased neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber with the lowest value recorded for Tv. The IVOMD, IVDMD, Metabolizable energy, in sacco DM disappearance in most incubation hours, washing loss and effective degradability of biological treated sugarcane bagasse and rice husk were significantly increased by EM and Tv treatment. In conclusion, the study indicates that treatment of RH with Trichoderma viride and SCB with EM is more effective in improving their nutritive value.
