description: Jimma is one of the major and densely populated towns in Ethiopia. It is located 348.5 km southwest of Addis Ababa. As in many towns of Ethiopia, very little is known about the soil and rock engineering properties and subsurface conditions of the town. Therefore, the present research work aimed to evaluate the geological and engineering geological condition of the town. Detailed field survey, in-situ strength test, sampling, geological mapping, and laboratory testing of samples were conducted. A total of 12 disturbed soil samples were collected from 12 test pits, which were dug manually up to 3 m depth. Geological and engineering geological maps were prepared at a scale of 1:25,000. Laboratory results revealed that the natural moisture content, liquid limit, plastic limit, plasticity index, specific gravity, and free swell of the soils range from 41.97–62.45%, 66–101%, 31–62%, 19–59%, 2.36–2.75, and 33–130% respectively. The area is dominantly covered by high plastic silt and clay soil type. Basalt, ignimbrite and tuff are the lithological rock units identified in the study area, which are classified into three major engineering geological subunits: very high Strength, high strength, and very low strength (soft) rock units. Flooding and the high swelling potential of the soils are the main geological hazards that require due consideration in the study area.

description: In the present research, the beekeeping products (honey, pollen, propolis) obtained from farms located in the province of Pistoia (Tuscany, Italy) were analyzed, in order to characterize them and evaluate their quality. The results showed that Pistoia apistic products possessed excellent qualitative values, suggesting a first-rate level and a long shelf life for them. Another important objective of the project was to collect evidence about the plant biodiversity existing in Pistoia district, in terms of pollen present in the beehive products and deriving from botanical species visited by honey bees and random contamination. In detail, the melissopalynological analysis revealed 82 different taxa, identifying 40 multifloral honeys, 30 acacia unifloral honeys, 30 chestnut unifloral honeys, 12 honeydew unifloral honeys, 4 heather unifloral honeys and 2 linden unifloral honeys. Several cultivated (e.g., Malus/Pyrus sp., Actinidia chinensis and Oleaceae) and wild (e.g., Trifolium sp. and Lotus sp.) species were found, although their distribution was mainly related to altitudinal variations. The signature of plant species typical of Tuscany, Italy, and other circum-Mediterranean countries (e.g., Erica sp., Castanea sativa, Quercus ilex, Loranthus sp., Hedysarum coronarium, Melilotus sp., Eucalyptus sp., and Tilia sp.) was detected. Finally, in the same matrixes, the presence of potential environmental contaminants, such as pesticides, antibiotics, and heavy metals (i.e., lead and cadmium), was measured, in order to evaluate the pollution level of the studied site. The very limited number of samples contaminated by lead and the total absence of antibiotics and pesticides in the beehive samples indicated a general excellent state of wholesomeness for the territory, valorizing the area under study and its natural products.

description: Soil compaction is one of the negative factors associated in the top layer of the soil by heavy agricultural machinery in the agricultural field that limits ploughing tool movement, plant growth and crop yield. Soil compaction has been conventionally measured by using a manual operated cone penetrometer which has certain ergonomically restriction tackled by the operator, it takes more time and difficult to obtain compaction data. The study aimed to design and develop a hydraulic system to measure soil compaction for agricultural field, to simulate soil compaction measuring system using MATLAB Simulink 2018 and to analyze the simulation output. The modelling and simulation include the hydraulic system used for actuate the compaction measuring cone penetrometer by considering the vertical force coming from double acting hydraulic cylinder as variable mass and the soil as a stiffness and damping property. From the simulation output, the hydraulic performance based on soil compaction measurement with the parameters such as hydraulic pressure as cone index, depth of operation, hydraulic torque, and power were analyzed. The time required for the cylinder extension to insert the cone penetrometer to the soil was 3.3 seconds with the maximum speed of cylinder extension of 0.3 mm/s. The maximum downward penetration resistance was 0.3 N. The pressure varies from 24 Pa to 38 Pa during extension of the cylinder and 0 to 15 Pa during retraction with the maximum flow rate of 3.8 10-6 m3/s. The relationship between hydraulic power and flow rate is directly proportional. Hydraulic torque and flow rate have inversely proportional relationship.

description: The small hive beetle (SHB), Aethina tumida Murray, native to sub-Saharan Africa, is a parasite of Apis mellifera causing significant damage to honey bee colonies. For the past decades, it has spread to many countries worldwide and once established, eradication is difficult or not feasible. In July 2022, an outbreak was reported for the first time in a French department in the Indian Ocean, Reunion Island. The origin and the pathway of the introduction were not identified. The molecular characterisation of SHB specimens collected in the southern part of the island, where the beetle has infested several apiaries, was investigated in order to provide elements on the invasive source. The sequencing of the partial Cytochrome oxidase I gene from two specimens showed that they belonged to the same new haplotype. Phylogenetic analysis suggests an introduction either from an unidentified African source or from the Asian continent since the haplotype is similar to those characterized from China and Philippines.
What do the eyes reveal? Visual AOenBon strategies during mental RotaBon
Creators: name: Moen, Katherine
name: Beck, Melissa
Publisher: name: F1000Research
Year: 2016

description: Are the attention strategies associated with better performance on a mental rotation task evident through eye movements? Previous research suggests that experts and novices use different attention strategies during mental rotation tasks. Experts tend to use feature-based strategies by only rotating select parts of objects, whereas novices tend to use more holistic rotation strategies and rotate objects in terms of the whole rather than the parts (Stieff, 2007). Additionally, some research suggests that individuals may only attended to one part of an object, specifically the top, in order to mentally rotate objects (Xu & Franconeri, 2015). The current study sought to further explore strategies during a mental rotation task by tracking eye movements. Participants viewed pairs of three dimensional block configurations and responded if the two stimuli were rotated versions of the same stimulus or two different stimuli. Behavioral results replicated previous research in that accuracy decreased and response time increased as angular disparity increased (Just & Carpenter, 1985; Stieff, 2007). Eye movement data revealed that participants’ dwell times were longer on the center of the object space compared to peripheral object space. Additionally, there was a positive correlation between accuracy and dwell time on the center of the object space, suggesting more time spent looking at the center of the object space was associated with increased accuracy. Consistent with previous novice research (Stieff, 2007), participants tended to look at the center of the object space in order to use object-based attention more so than feature-based attention. Additionally, switching between objects more frequently was positively correlated with accuracy. Therefore, successful mental rotation is associated with multiple comparisons.

description: The main purpose of this study was to scrutinize techniques in Gadaa system that helped to sustain leadership development of the Oromo Society and its implication for industrial leadership development. The study was conducted using qualitative research method and exploratory research design. Accordingly, data of leadership development practices in the Gadaa system were gathered from key informants through focus group discussion, key informant interviews and non-participant observation. The data were analyzed thematically. The study revealed that there were different strategies within the Gadaa system that helped to nurture the leaders perpetually so that they can manage the society and their resources properly. Gadaa system has got different leadership development techniques such as traditional education, training, experience sharing, observation, practicing and creating a sense of competition among individuals. The Gadaa system encompasses different institutions such as centers, parties, grades and structures of Gadaa system that enabled the society to deal with various challenges, ensure good governance and enhance efficiency in management. Moreover, the study revealed that the Gadaa system has got check and balance system that is undertaken in both the forward and backward directions. Thus, the researchers would like to suggest that the proposed technique of Gadaa system could have a bearing on the improvement of work environment and thus it could potentially be used in tandem with modern day industrial leadership development techniques. Therefore, the government and concerned stakeholders should customize the important technique of Gadaa system with regard to industrial leadership development for ensuring good governance and shaping the behavior of workforce in carrying out their roles and responsibilities properly.

description: Honey bees come under stress if thiamethoxam (a neonicotinoid insecticide) is used on their forage crops. The lethal and sub-lethal effects of this insecticide have largely been documented on foraging bees in comparison to the non-foraging stages especially the immature stages. Hence, the present study, to know the effect of thiamethoxam (25 and 50 g a.i. ha−1) on the brood of Apis mellifera colonies in mustard was conducted. Brood index, compensation index, and brood termination rate were calculated for the brood area (2 sq. inch) selected at two time intervals i.e. at the time of spray (D0) and seven days after that (D7). Brood index for the brood selected at D7 of thiamethoxam applied at 25 g a.i. ha−1 was statistically at par with the untreated control i.e. its value at 21 days (1.00 ± 0.00-4.48 ± 0.04) was statistically at par with the untreated control (1.00 ± 0.00-4.66 ± 0.01). However, in other treatments viz. brood selected at D0 in thiamethoxam applied at 25 g a.i. ha−1 and at D0 and D7 in thiamethoxam applied at 50 g a.i. ha−1, significant brood mortality was recorded at the end of the brood cycle. Compensation indices and brood termination rates also showed similar effects. Overall, it is concluded that thiamethoxam at the recommended dose i.e. 25 g a.i. ha−1 did not affect the brood which was reared 7 days after the application.

description: We study the dynamics of dissipative billiard maps within planar convex domains. Such maps have a global attractor. We are interested in the topological and dynamical complexity of the attractor, in terms both of the geometry of the billiard table and of the strength of the dissipation. We focus on the study of an invariant subset of the attractor, the so-called Birkhoff attractor. On the one hand, we show that for a generic convex table with "pinched" curvature, the Birkhoff attractor is a normally contracted manifold when the dissipation is strong. On the other hand, for a mild dissipation, we prove that generically the Birkhoff attractor is complicated, both from the topological and the dynamical point of view.

description: Negative feed balance in terms of dry matter and forage quality has been affecting animal production in Ethiopian livestock system. Yield dynamics and forage quality assessment of ten Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach.) genotypes to assess the yield and nutritional quality of the grass was conducted in the field of Chano Mille Research substation from September 2018 to November 2019. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. All growth parameters showed significant (P<0.01) variation among genotypes that were contributing either to yield or quality. Depending on the weather condition of growing months, dry matter yield was varied among genotypes and harvesting months significantly (P<0.01). Dry matter yield varied from 4.87 to 17.35 t/ha for weather variation in growing months and from 9.57 to 18.4 t/ha for genotype variation. Leaf to stem ratio was not varied significantly among genotypes. Stem and leaf quality variation among genotypes for calcium, phosphorus and crude protein was significant while not for neutral and acid detergent fibers. Zehone_02 and ILRI_16835 genotypes could be of optimum dry matter yield and quality to be used as a feed option in a study area and similar agro-ecological zones. Assessing silage and hay quality and animal preference warranted with the production of the crop under irrigated condition

Simple actions influence eye movements

Publisher: name: F1000Research
Year: 2016

description: Recent research has revealed that action can have an influence on visual perception. For example, participants find targets more quickly in a visual search task when the target is associated with a feature they previously acted towards. However, all evidence for this phenomenon comes from manual response time data. Thus, it is theoretically possible that action’s effect is not on perception but instead on post-perceptual response processes. Here for the first time we investigated if a prior action can affect oculomotor behavior. In two experiments participants saw a word pre-cue followed by a colored shape. Participants either made an action (pressed the space bar) or simply viewed the shape depending on the match between the pre-cue and the shape’s color (Experiment 1) or on the identity of the pre-cue (Experiment 2). Next, two circles with embedded lines appeared; participants’ task was to find and indicate the tilt of the sole tilted line. Although color was irrelevant to the search task, one of the circles was the color of the earlier seen shape; on half of the trials it contained the target and on half the distractor. Both experiments replicated the typical “action effect” pattern: Participants were faster to find the target if it was in the color they saw earlier in the trial, but only following an action (i.e., although irrelevant to the task, the acted-on color received priority in visual search). Importantly, oculomotor behavior was also affected by prior action in both experiments—after an action (but not after viewing) participants’ first saccade was directed to the target more often when it was in the color of the acted-on object than when that color contained a distractor. Overall the results show for the first time that a prior arbitrary action affects eye movements.

description: This study was conducted on 34 honey samples produced in Algeria from different botanical and geographical origins. The main objective was to compare some biological properties like the antioxidant capacity and the α-amylase inhibition of different honey types and their relationship with physicochemical properties. The botanical origin of the samples was confirmed by pollen analysis. The samples were collected directly from beekeepers during the 2018 and 2019 harvest seasons and were analyzed for physicochemical parameters, color, total phenolic and flavonoid content, antioxidant capacities (DPPH, ABTS .+), and α-amylase inhibition as a preliminary study in order to estimate the antidiabetic activity. Some of the most marketed honey types as polyfloral or Eucalyptus honey were included, but highlights the information obtained for poorly studied honey types as Lenj honey (Arbutus), Mimouza honey (Acacia), Retem honey (Retama sphaerocarpa), El Kebbar honey (Capparis), or unknown honey types as those from El Sorr (Atractytlis serratuloides), El Harra (Eruca sativa) and El Merkh (Genista saharae). According to the results, the darker samples were those of Retama, Eucalyptus, Acacia, Arbutus, and polyfloral honey types and had higher electrical conductivity, higher phenolic, and flavonoid content together with an important antioxidant activity compared to Genista, Atractylis, and Eruca honey types. Arbutus honey had the highest α-amylase inhibition but Eruca sativa and Retama samples can be distinguished also by this property.
Beliefs About Mental Illness: The Influence of Gender-Roles on What We Take From Television
Creators: name: Kivari, Carson
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: There were two main purposes to this study. The first was to investigate if the variance associated with attitudes and beliefs regarding mental illness can be explained better by participant sex or gender-role endorsement (GRE). University students (n = 258) filled out questionnaires assessing both mental health-related attitudes and GRE. Multiple regression analyses indicated that the variance explained by sex was almost entirely accounted for by participant GRE. The second part of the study assessed how GRE may moderate the effects television exposure has on our mental illness attitudes. Using a mixed design (n = approximately 19/group), attitudes were measured approximately one week before, and immediately after watching one of four episodes of a therapy-based HBO drama. The results suggested that exposure to this series may increase positive attitudes regarding mental illness. Additionally, our findings indicated a non-significant trend that gender stereotypic portrayals in this series decrease negative attitudes regarding the hygiene of those with mental illness, while non-gender stereotypic portrayals increase negativity.

description: The Stem Cell Commons was developed by the Harvard Stem Cell Institute to create a community for stem cell bioinformatics. This open source environment for sharing and analyzing stem cell data combines genomics data sets with tools for discovery, analysis, visualization, and collaboration. The Commons uses the Refinery Platform, an integrated web-based data analysis and visualization system, to enable reproducible analyses implemented as Galaxy workflows.

We originally deployed Refinery using instances of Galaxy on clusters in two different research computing facilities. However, limited control over scheduling, access, and deployment in these environments prevented us from moving from development to production. To allow for greater flexibility of the system, ensure reliability, optimize cost, scale based on demand, and facilitate collaboration, our recent efforts have focused on making Refinery easy to deploy in a cloud environment backed by Galaxy CloudMan. CloudMan is a cloud manager that orchestrates the provision and management of Galaxy clusters on cloud infrastructures. Here we discuss our experiences of using key CloudMan features, such as automated deployment, cluster sharing, and autoscaling. We also describe some of the problems that we have encountered using CloudMan in novel and perhaps unanticipated ways.

Given our experience with Refinery and CloudMan so far, we believe that Galaxy can be deployed as a cloud-based analysis backend for other systems. We hope that by continued collaboration with the CloudMan and Galaxy developer communities, we can address the challenges that we are still facing.

description: The aim of this report is to study containers resource isolation and explore Dynamic Resource Assignment techniques to maximize hardware utilization. Containers bring virtualization benefits to High-Performance Computing systems, thus allowing the safe execution of concurrent applications within the same computational node. In this situation it becomes possible to dynamically re-assign resources of multiples applications given their workload, maximizing the useful time the hardware is being used. Nevertheless, containers do not fully isolate their environment from the host, so full isolation is not guaranteed. This report designs, implements and functionally evaluates the workload collocation concept applying dynamic resource assignment solutions for containers.

 Diphya NICOLET, 1849:406; SIMON, 1894:744; TULLGREN, 1902:24; TANIKAWA, 1995:102; ÁLVAREZ- PADILLA & HORMIGA, 2011:756.
 Type species: Diphya macrophthalma Nicolet, 1849 from central Chile, designated by SIMON (1894).
 Diagnosis. Diphya is one of the best delimited genera of Tetragnathidae due to eye pattern and spination of legs I and II. ALE as well as posterior eyes are greatly enlarged and at least 2 times larger than AME (vs. all eyes equal in size, or if sizes heterogeneous, lateral eyes are smallest). In addition to large size, the lateral eyes in Diphya are widely spaced. This character (spaced lateral eyes) is known in only a few Tetragnatha, were all eyes are of equal size. Another character that allows Diphya to be separated from other tetragnathids is retrolateral row of stiff sUbdecUmbent setae on legs I and II (Figs 1, 2, 4, 8) forming kind of capturing basket. Males of species occurring in Chile and Argentina can be distinguished from all other Tetragnathidae by having tibial apophysis (Figs 9, 12, 14, 16‒18).

description: This paper investigates the influence of the skin effect on the thermal distribution in overhead transmission lines conductors with some standards. The study is based on modeling the current (AC and DC) and heat equations in the overhead line conductors by a finite element method in a FreeFEM program. The model considers the complex conductor cross-section structure by a filling ratio. As a result, this paper shows that the skin effect increases the difference between the surface and central temperatures of the conductors. The comparisons are all ACSR conductors of GOST 839-2019 standard. This effect can reduce the conductor thermal rating. The getting differences visualizes in graphs using FreeFEM for different cases.

The effects of childhood sexual abuse on pregnancy, labour, birth, and postpartum experiences of adult female survivors
Creators: name: Curry, Rosalynd
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Child sexual abuse (CSA) is a widespread problem that has long-lasting effects into adulthood. The purpose of this review was to perform a systematic review of the literature to find if a history of CSA has a significant impact on adult female survivors during the childbearing year and to determine what practices are effective in caring for survivors during this experience in order to guide midwifery care. Medline, CINAHL, and PsycInfo were systematically searched and 18 quantitative and 11 qualitative research studies were included. Survivors were found to have higher rates of psychological and social problems during pregnancy, negative experiences during labour and birth, higher rates of assisted and operative deliveries, and difficulties with breastfeeding. Some suggestions from survivors for maternity care providers were also included. Based on these suggestions, midwives may be the best practitioners to provide maternity care for survivors of CSA. More good quality research is needed on the experiences and outcomes of survivors during the childbearing year and on how to best care for these women, both in general and specifically within the midwifery model of care.

description: A global multi-partite entanglement may place a constraint on the wave-particle duality. We investigate this constraint relation of the global entanglement and the quantitative wave-particle duality in tripartite systems. We perform quantum state tomography to reconstruct the reduced density matrix by using the OriginQ quantum computing cloud platform. As a result, we show that, theoretically and experimentally, the quantitative wave-particle duality is indeed constrained by the global tripartite entanglement.

Creators: name: Gemma, Sierra Skye
Publisher: name: Vancouver, BC : Sociology Students Association of the University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: The articles in Volume 1 exemplify the breadth of topics available for sociological study at the undergraduate level at the University of British Columbia. The articles span the globe, with Connor Cavanagh focusing on famine in Zimbabwe and Michael Kehl deliberating on the effects of the “Three Strikes” law in California. They also address a wide range of topics, from Manori Ravindran’s consideration of postfeminism and the pop music phenomenon of The Spice Girls to Hélène Frohard-Dourlent’s analysis of the impact of socioeconomic status on children’s success in school. Two authors ask their audience to rethink previous research: Tara Wodelet calls for a conceptual clarification of friends-with-benefits relationships and Kalev Hunt applies Durkheim’s findings on suicide to queer youth. Brigitte Drescher and Amy Trebelco look at cultural appropriation of First Nations symbols, while John Naslund suggests the benefits of sports and recreation for Aboriginal youth.
