description: An autoresonant approach for exciting space-time quasicrystals in Bose-Einstein condensates is proposed by employing two-component chirped frequency parametric driving or modulation of the interaction strength within Gross-Pitaevskii equation. A weakly nonlinear theory of the process is developed using Whitham's averaged variational principle yielding reduction to a two-degrees-of-freedom dynamical system in action-angle variables. Additionally, the theory also delineates permissible driving parameters and establishes thresholds on the driving amplitudes required for autoresonant excitation.

description: Coastal regions are considered pivotal for socio-economic activities facing heightened vulnerability to Climate Change (CC). The imperative for CC adaptation in coastal zones is evident and is expected to be intensified, followed by dynamic and iterative adaptation strategies. The OCEANIDS project aims to create user-driven tools and applications, serving mainly as a technological layer for regional authorities and stakeholders, enabling them to establish a more inclusive and resilient pathway leading to a Blue Economy in coastal regions. OCEANIDS contributes to the broader understanding of geological challenges in the context of climate change, addressing issues such as sea-level rise, which directly impacts coastal geology. The platform's capability to assess hazards and provide recommendations supports not only immediate responses but also aids in formulating long-term strategies for mitigating geological risks associated with changing environmental conditions.

description: This project aims to develop advanced molecular and statistical techniques to precisely resolve the genomes of microbes taken directly from the enviroment. Microbes inhabit every imaginable niche on the planet and are fundamental to human and animal health, agriculture, and global carbon cycles. The proposed technology couples new molecular techniques that capture 3D chromosome structure data with statistical inference algorithms adapted from machine learning and image processing. The newly developed technology will be demonstrated by analysing Earth's most abundant ocean microbes to determine how their populations are structured locally, and to investigate the spread of antibiotic resistance genes in animal feces.

description: Seasonal abundance of zooplankton in relation to different physico-chemical conditions of Kaptai lake has been studied. A total of four major groups of zooplankton were identified from study area of Kaptai lake during three seasons observation at pre-monsoon, monsoon and Post-monsoon. These four groups were categorized into rotifers, copepods, cladocerans and others (fish larvae, shrimp larvae, insects, mosquito larvae etc.). The mean abundance of group rotifers, copepods, cladoceras and others were 103, 84.67, 38.33 and 41.83 ind. L-1 respectively. The highest group was rotifers in terms of abundance and composition where compositions were recorded 38 % at three season's observation. The lowest group was cladoceras in term of abundance and composition where compositions were recorded 14 %. The air temperature, water temperature, transparency, water pH, DO, BOD5, PO 4-P, NO 2-N, SiO 3-Si, TSS, TDS, Alkalinity ranged between 21 and 27.5C, 23.5 and 31.5C, 0.8 and 3 m, 7.1 and 7.5, 5.72 and 8.58 mg/l, 8.55 and 12.87 mg/l, 3.22 and 4.13 µg/l, 0.992 and 1.19 µg/l, 161.18 and 201.15 µg/l, 0.28 and 0.48 g/l, 0.18 and 0.68 g/l, 40 and 60 ppm, respectively. Margalef richness index (d), Pielou's evenness index (J'), Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H'), Simpson dominance index (λ) are analyzed by Primer V6 software to quantify the collected species.

description: Diabetes mellitus (DM) remains one of the pivotal diseases that have drawn the attention of researchers recently and during the last few decades. Due to its devastating symptoms, attempts to develop new drugs with mild side effects have resulted in a number of drugs that are functioning through various mechanisms. Among these, Glycogen phosphorylase (GP) inhibitors emerged as a new strategy for combating DM. GP is an enzyme that regulates blood glucose levels; it catalyses the breakdown of glycogen to glucose-1-phosphate in the liver and tissues with high and fluctuating energy demands. In the present research, we evaluate the possibility of type 2 diabetes therapy with the help of chalcones which are known to have antidiabetic activities. For this purpose, 29 chalcones were modelled, synthesised and investigated for their inhibitory activity against GP using in-vitro methods. Compounds 1, 2, and 3 were found to be the most potent compounds with IC50 values 26.6, 57.1 and 75.6 µM respectively. The observed results were further validated using in-silico methods. Molecular docking simulation revealed interaction patterns that explain the structure-activity relationships of the compounds with GP. Molecular dynamic (MD) simulation demonstrated a stable complex formation between compound 1 and GP through lower value and uniformity in root mean square deviation (RMSD) of the complex and root mean square fluctuation (RMSF) of the protein Cα.

description: Predicting temporal patterns across various domains poses significant challenges due to their nuanced and often nonlinear trajectories. To address this challenge, prediction frameworks have been continuously refined, employing data-driven statistical methods, mathematical models, and machine learning. Recently, as one of the challenging systems, shared transport systems such as public bicycles have gained prominence due to urban constraints and environmental concerns. Predicting rental and return patterns at bicycle stations remains a formidable task due to the system's openness and imbalanced usage patterns across stations. In this study, we propose a deep learning framework to predict rental and return patterns by leveraging cartogram approaches. The cartogram approach facilitates the prediction of demand for newly installed stations with no training data as well as long-period prediction, which has not been achieved before. We apply this method to public bicycle rental-and-return data in Seoul, South Korea, employing a spatial-temporal convolutional graph attention network. Our improved architecture incorporates batch attention and modified node feature updates for better prediction accuracy across different time scales. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework in predicting temporal patterns and its potential applications.

connotations of collaboration

description: The paper investigates the extent to which policy-makers, academics private sector representatives and citizens in different European countries are likely to have different understandings of what the increasingly popular term ‘collaborative governance’ means and implies. Utilizing data from the European funded project “Transformation into Open, Collaborative and Innovative Governments (TROPICO)”, the paper analyses input from country experts on public administration and the results of a review of academic and policy documents to explore this question. The paper provides numerous empirical examples, from ten European countries, of changes in meaning through translations and through usage in different contexts. Overall, the findings of the paper draw attention to the importance of being aware of the divergence of linguistic practice and national connotations in order to fully understand and be able to compare collaborative governance across European counties. For proponents of collaborative governance, it is also important to know that how to speak about this, as least for now, should be adapted to different country settings, unless risk unwanted or uninformed connotations.

description: Non-physiological blood flow conditions in axial blood pumps lead to some complications, including hemolysis, platelet activation, thrombosis, and embolism. The high speed of the axial blood pump destroys large amounts of erythrocytes, thereby causing hemolysis and thrombosis. Thus, this study aims to reduce the vortices and reflux in the flow field by optimizing the axial blood pump. The axial blood pump and arterial flow field were modeled by the finite element method. The blood was assumed to be incompressible, turbulent, and Newtonian. The SST k–ω turbulence model was used. The frozen rotor method was also used to calculate the snapshot of motion. Many vortices and reflux exist in the flow field of the blood pump without optimization. The improved flow field had almost no vortex and reflux, thereby reducing the exposure time of blood. The optimized blood pump had little influence on the pressure field and shear stress field. The optimized blood pump mainly reduced the vortex, reflux, and the risk of thrombosis in the flow field. The flow field characteristics of an axial blood pump were studied, and the results showed the risk of thrombosis and hemolysis in the blood pump. In accordance with the relationship between the blade shape and the flow field, the blade of the blood pump was optimized, reducing the vortex and reflux of the flow field, as well as the risk of thrombosis.

description: A study was conducted to examine the culture and growth performance of S. platensis in three different concentrations (25%, 50% and 100%) of digested liquid rice starch media (DLRSM) with 0.2 g/L urea and Kosaric medium (KM) as control for a period of three months from March to May 2018. Each experiment was done in triplicates for a period of 14 days. The growth rate of S. platensis was found to vary with different concentrations of the medium. The cell weight of S. platensis was attained to highest 12.42 mg/L (dry weight) in KM followed by 11.26 mg/L, 8.35 mg/L and 9.11 mg/L in 25%, 50% and 100% of DLRSM, respectively on the 10 th day of culture period. Similar trend also observed in case of chlorophyll a content of S. platensis. The proximate composition of rice starch was analyzed. The percentage of moisture, protein, lipid, ash, crude fiber and nitrogen free extract (NFE) were95.1, 0.2616, 0.1055, 0.1097, 0.1468 and 3.9669, respectively on the basis of moisture (%) and 4.59, 5.70, 2.30, 2.39, 3.20 and 86.41, respectively on the basis of dry matter (%). The results on the growth performance showed that the growth of S. platensis was significantly (P<0.01) higher when grown in 25% concentration of DLRSM than other concentrations in 50% and 100% of DLRSM. The physico-chemical parameters viz. light intensity (2685 to 2773 lux/m 2 /s), temperature (29.6 to 31.5°C), pH (8.3 to 9.9), alkalinity (1150 to 3032 mg/L), Nitrate-N (1.32 to 6.30 mg/L) and phosphate-P (9.75 to 61.50 mg/L) were within optimum level during the culture period.

description: Jacaranda oxyphylla Cham. (Bignoniaceae) is a shrub found in the Brazilian cerrado and used in folk medicine to treat microbial infections. The aim of this study was to carry out a phytochemical screening and evaluate antioedematogenic, antimicrobial and antiacetylcholinesterase properties of J. oxyphylla crude extracts. All extracts analysed showed presence of terpenoids, which are potentially active chemical substances. A high AChE inhibitory activity for hexane extract from leaves and for the extracts from twigs was found. Ethanol extract from leaves of J. oxyphylla showed activity against Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria. This extract was also effective in inhibiting the stages of inflammation evaluated. Biological investigation and phytochemical screening of J. oxyphylla extracts provided additional evidence of its traditional medicinal value.

description: The study was conducted to determine the fish retailer's livelihood and socioeconomic status in three markets of Jashore for a period of six months from February to August, 2016. The average net profit of fish retailers was found higher in Boro bazaar (Tk.350) followed by Palbari bazaar (Tk.325), Chuadanga Bus Stand bazaar (TK.275). The average age groups of 20-65 years were found among the markets. The study shows that 53% fish retailers had nuclear family and 47% had joint family. Most of the housing conditions were kacha (69%) and Muslim fish retailers were predominant in all markets. Among the total 45 traders interviewed, 42% were illiterate, 31% have primary level education, 24% have secondary level education and none of them had bachelor level of education. It was found that fish retailers of Boro bazaar and Palbari bazaar sold an average of 35 kg fish daily, compared with Chuadanga Bus Stand bazaar 15 kg per day. The daily supply of fish in Boro bazaar can be estimated at 1.6 MT (25 retailers' × 65 kg) while 0.3 MT (15 retailers × 20 kg) and 0.45 MT (15 retailers × 30 kg) in C.B Bazar and Palbari bazaar respectively. Improvement in basic infrastructure such as, clean water supply, sanitation facilities, adequate drainage and ice facilities are recommended by the present study.

description: Adsorption in nanoporous materials is one strategy that can be used to store hydrogen at conditions of temperature and pressure that are economically viable. Adsorption capacity of nanoporous materials depends on surface area which can be enhanced by incorporating a hierarchical pore structure. We report grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulation results on the adsorption of hydrogen in hierarchical models of silicalite that incorporate 4 nm wide mesopores in addition to the 0.5 nm wide micropores at 298 K, using different force fields to model hydrogen. Our results suggest that incorporating mesopores in silicalite can enhance adsorption by at least 20% if electrostatic interactions are not included and up to 100% otherwise. Incorporating electrostatic interactions results in higher adsorption by close to 100% at lower pressures for hierarchical silicalite whereas for unmodified silicalite, it is less significant at all pressures. Hydroxylating the mesopore surface in hierarchical silicalite results in an enhancement in adsorption at pressures below 1 atm and suppression by up to 20 % at higher pressures. Temperature dependence at selected pressures exhibits expected decrease in adsorption amounts at higher temperatures. These findings can be useful in the engineering, selection, and optimization of nanoporous materials for hydrogen storage.

description: Purpose Despite the introduction of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-s) in 2014, there is evidence to suggest that male endurance athletes still present with a high prevalence of low energy availability (LEA). Previous findings suggest that energy availability (EA) status is strongly correlated with impairments in endocrine function such as reduced leptin, trii-odothyronine (T3), and insulin, and elevated bone loss. This study aimed to report the current EA status, endocrine function and bone health of highly trained Irish male endurance athletes. Methods In this cross-sectional study, participants (n=3 triathletes; n=10 runners) completed a 7-day testing period dur?ing the competition season using lab-based measures, to ascertain EA status, hormone level and rates of bone metabolism. Serum blood samples were obtained to assess hormone levels and markers of bone metabolism. Results Mean EA was<30 kcal/kg lean body mass (LBM)/day in 76.9% of athletes. There was a strong association between LEA and low carbohydrate intake, and lower LBM. Mean levels of insulin, IGF-1 and leptin were signifcantly lower than their reference ranges. Elevated mean concentrations of β-CTX and a mean P1NP: β-CTX ratio<100, indicated a state of bone resorption. Conclusion The EA level, carbohydrate intake, hormone status and bone metabolism status of highly trained male endurance athletes are a concern. Based on the findings of this study, more frequent assessment of EA across a season is recommended to monitor the status of male endurance athletes, in conjunction with nutritional education specific to EA and the associated risks.

description: The rapid growth of the human population, as well as an increase in urbanism, have resulted in the existence of new cities quickly and not adequately studied to be compatible with nature, which led to severe damage to the environment at all levels. The objective of this research is to discuss solutions to reduce the ongoing problems of urban expansion using bio-imitation and reach a vision of a sustainable city by classifying the roles played by biomimetics and their reflections on the performance of the built environment. Indeed, nature was and still is the first teacher of man and the main inspiration. Nature is as much an inspiration to architects as it is to scientists; this paper illustrates the relationship between science and biomimicry in planning new sustainable cities. The research follows the comparative approach that analyzes and compares methodologies for the physical life concepts of some insect colonies like ant colonies and bee settlements in the living world that are similar in their lives to human life, how they are integrated into the framework of physical planning and engaged that with the principles of the sustainable built environment, by showing great ingenuity in the manner they build their dwellings in a way that considers the surrounding environmental and climatic factors such as good Ventilation, control of various temperature and humidity inside the shelter. Concerning that, the case study is a kind of exploration and attempt to reach design guidelines for detailed planning for the built environment in new sustainable cities.

description: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used as an antibiotic agent in textiles, wound dressings, medical devices, and appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines. The increasing use of AgNPs has raised concerns about their potential risks to human health. Therefore, this study was aimed to determine the impact of AgNPs in germ cell specific complications in mice. The administration of AgNPs results in toxicity in mice; however, a more detailed understanding of the effects of AgNPs on germ cells remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate the effects of AgNPs (20 nm in diameter) in a mouse Sertoli and granulosa cells in vitro, and in male and female mice in vivo. Soluble silver ion (Ag+)-treated cells were used as a positive control. We found that excessive AgNP-treated cells exhibited cytotoxicity, the formation of autophagosomes and autolysosomes in Sertoli cells. Furthermore, an increase in mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis by cytochrome c release from mitochondria due to translocation of Bax to mitochondria was observed. In in vivo studies, the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor α, interferon-γ, −6, −1β, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 were significantly increased (p

description: A comparative study of Cu-impregnated ZnO and Ni-impregnated ZnO for the sonophotocatalytic degradation of cefixime in aqueous solution under visible light irradiation was carried out. Sonophotocatalysts were prepared by using a wet impregnation method and characterised using different spectroscopic techniques. Sonophotocatalytic efficiency of degradation is superior to photolysis, sonolysis, photocatalysis and sonocatalysis. Different operational parameters like pH, catalyst dosage, different enhancers, scavenger’s effect, initial concentration of drug, reusability of catalyst and catalyst settling time were optimised. Optimum time of 30 min was found for the 45.7% degradation of cefixime using Cu-ZnO and 42.2% degradation using Ni-ZnO photocatalysts at pH 10. The degradation of cefixime increased from 75.3% to 100% with 5 mmol of hydrogen peroxide using 0.1 g/ L of Cu-ZnO and 99.8% using 0.15 g/L of Ni-ZnO, while other oxidising agents were found less effective using (Cu–ZnO-Ni-ZnO) photocatalyst. A very little decrease in degradation was observed with different types of scavengers. Catalyst reusability was checked up to three cycles and good results up to three cycles were achieved and followed pseudo-first-order kinetic model. Furthermore, the sonophotocatalytic activity was tested for real pharmaceutical wastewater resulting in 91 and 89% removal of total organic carbon (TOC) using (Cu-ZnO-Ni-ZnO), respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied on commercial and synthetic sample with satisfactory results.

description: A saúde é um direito fundamental e um bem precioso que deve ser preservado em todas as fases da vida. No entanto, paradoxalmente, o ambiente onde se busca cuidado e recuperação — o hospital — pode, muitas vezes, se tornar o local onde surgem novos riscos: as infecções relacionadas à assistência à saúde (IRAS). Essas infecções desafiam diariamente os profissionais da linha de frente, que se equilibram entre a complexidade do cuidado e a urgência de garantir segurança ao paciente.

Este manual nasce do compromisso ético e técnico de um grupo multidisciplinar de profissionais apaixonados pela ciência, pela enfermagem, pela medicina e, acima de tudo, pelo cuidado centrado na vida. Em meio a dados alarmantes, resistência antimicrobiana crescente e pressões por eficiência nos serviços de saúde, surge a necessidade de um conteúdo robusto, prático e baseado em evidências — que não apenas oriente, mas transforme a atuação diária de quem cuida.

Aqui, oferecemos mais do que capítulos e protocolos: oferecemos um chamado à ação consciente. Cada página carrega não só diretrizes técnicas, mas também a responsabilidade de formar profissionais preparados, atualizados e sensíveis à realidade de crianças, adultos e idosos que depositam sua esperança nos serviços de saúde. Nosso objetivo é instrumentalizar o leitor com conhecimento confiável, estratégias eficazes e uma visão integrada da prevenção, manejo e controle das IRAS.

Este livro é, portanto, um convite: para que gestores, enfermeiros, médicos, acadêmicos e todos os envolvidos na assistência compreendam que a prevenção das IRAS não é apenas um desafio técnico, mas uma missão coletiva. Com organização, comprometimento e atualização contínua, é possível transformar o cenário da assistência hospitalar, promovendo ambientes mais seguros e uma saúde mais digna.

A recent methodology proposed a genus-one basis formed from products of these series of chain topologies. A prior work further deconstructed cyclic products of the Kronecker-Eisenstein series on this basis. Building on it, our study further employs advanced and comprehensive combinatorial techniques to decompose more general genus-one integrands including a product of an arbitrary number of cyclic products of Kronecker-Eisenstein series, supplemented by {\tt Mathematica} codes. Our insights enhance the understanding of multiparticle amplitudes across various string theories and illuminate loop-level parallels with string tree-level amplitudes.

description: The aim of the experiment was to determine the effects of three types of formulated feed containing varying levels of protein, lipid on breeding performance of common carp (Cyprinus carpio). C. carpio was reared for 120 days under three dietary treatments (T1 to T3) with varying crude protein levels and crude lipid levels. Experimental diets T1, T2 and T3 were formulated from locally available feed ingredients having crude protein percentage of 23.56 ± 0.23, 28.60 ± 0.10 and 18.04 ± 0.32; crude lipid percentage of 9.50 ± 0.22, 11.06 ± 0.38 and 8.34 ± 0.19 respectively. Effect of the three diets was studied in terms of gonadosomatic index (GSI), fecundity, fertilization rate, hatching rate and deformity of fry. Fishes reared under Treatment 2 showed the highest gonadosomatic index (32.08 ± 7.24%), fecundity (355963.33 ± 77142), fertilization rate (84.00 ± 6.89%), hatching rate (87.33 ± 12.45) and lowest rate of larval deformity (11.56 ± 3.56%). Brood stock management of Treatment 2 showed significantly better results (P<0.05) in respect of gonadosomatic index, fecundity, fertilization rate, hatching rate and larval deformity among three selected hatcheries. Hence, it can be concluded that 28.60 ± 0.10% protein and 11.06 ± 0.38% lipid is adequate for better breeding performance of common carp (Cyprinus carpio).

description: The enrichment of heavy metals and mixing with groundwater resources, which makes a serious threat to human health and the environment. The present study was conducted to determine the enrichment of heavy metals in groundwater, geochemical modelling, and to estimate the probable health risks (non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic) of a coal mining region, in eastern India. The relative abundance of mean heavy metal concentration was in the order of Fe > Zn > Al > Ba > Mn > Sr > Ni > Ag > Cu > Pb > V > Cr > Co > Cd, and are within the WHO standards limits for drinking water values. Groundwater shows pH values as generally acidic to alkaline in nature, while Eh values indicate an oxidising environment. Principal component analysis indicates, metal concentration in the groundwater to be mainly derived from the geogenic sources and in-situ leaching of mine overburden materials. Hydrogeochemical modelling indicates heavy metals are in supersaturation to near neutral state in the groundwater with oxide and carbonate mineral phases. Based on (HPI), and (HEI) values, the majority of groundwater samples are low to moderately contaminated. The health risk assessment model based on hazard quotient (HQ) and hazard index (HI) values show few groundwater samples as crossing the reference limit and have non-carcinogenic health risks for both children and adults. The study identifies the chemical characterisation and potential health risks due to the presence of heavy metals in the groundwater of the coal mining region.

description: Principally associated with the field of ecology in order to address humanities increasing ecological footprint on the planet Earth, sustainability as a concept has emerged as an area of interest in the field of computing. While a number of related communities have attempted to understand and address the challenges of sustainability from their different perspectives, there is a fundamental lack of understanding of: the concept of sustainability; how it relates to software artifacts and software systems; and the wider implications of the software development process and the impact of software products on the different dimensions of sustainability. This position paper argues that current efforts to address the sustainment i.e. longevity, of software and software systems are futile because of a lack of a common definition of sustainable software, which results in a misalignment with established software engineering theory and best practice that enables software products to endure. While there have been a number of previous attempts to define sustainability no consensus has been reached. As a result, the term remains illusive and ambiguous. This paper argues that the primary barrier to making progress in the field of sustainable software systems engineering is the lack of a concrete definition, which lays the foundation to understand how to design software that is [technically] sustainable. As a basis for discussion we propose a definition of sustainable software as a first-class, composite, non-functional requirement that includes as its basic building blocks the base sub-characteristics of maintainability and extensibility.

description: Eragrostis tef (Teff) is one of the most important staple crops in Ethiopia. The straw obtained from teff is a plentiful source of lignocellulosic biomass. In the present study, straw obtained from teff grass was exploited as a carbon precursor to synthesise the activated carbon via chemical activation followed by microwave-aided pyrolysis. The prepared activated carbon by microwave aided method from teff straw (MATSAC) was utilised as a bio-adsorbent to examine the lead II ions adsorption potential from the aqueous medium. RSM technique was employed to explore a process model which correlates the four independent variables namely Pb(II) ions initial concentration, MATSAC dose, adsorption time, and solution pH. Further, the model was statistically optimised to achieve optimum Pb(II) ions removal. They were discovered to be Pb(II) ions initial concentration: 94.35 mg/L, MATSAC dose: 0.655 g/100 mL, adsorption time: 87.6 min, and solution pH: 5.4 to achieve the maximised removal of Pb(II) (90.89%). In the investigation on the models of isotherm, it was inferred that Langmuir isotherm fitted excellently to the equilibrium data of the adsorption. The adsorption capacity of Pb(II) on MATSAC was 42.97 mg/g. In addition, the kinetic analysis confirmed that the process of adsorption was statistically significant to pseudo 2nd order. The thermodynamic study indicated that the negative value of ∆Go deep-rooted the practicability and spontaneity of MATSAC for Pb(II) ions removal. In a nutshell, MATSAC, which is derived from locally available agricultural waste, can remove toxic Pb(II) ions from contaminated water at a minimal cost.

description: Herbicide degradation is one of the key processes determining whether the use of herbicide will have any impact on environmental quality, and it is dependent on various biotic and abiotic factors. The present study evaluates the impact of various abiotic factors such as soil type, application rate, incubation temperature, soil pH, soil microorganisms and sunlight on persistence of metribuzin and its effect on soil enzymes. Half-lives (DT50) varied significantly with application rate of metribuzin and physicochemical properties of soil and ranged from 15.17 to 46.59 days. Metribuzin degraded 2.2 to 6.5 times slower in sterilised soil (DT50 = 35.21 to 115.60 days) as compared to unsterilised soil, indicating microbial degradation is one the most predominant contributors towards degradation of metribuzin in soil. Increase in degradation rate on exposure to sunlight indicated photodegradation also contributes significantly to the degradation of metribuzin. Deaminometribuzin, diketometribuzin and deaminodiketometribuzin metabolites of metribuzin were detected in all treatments. Dehydrogenase and alkaline phosphatase activities were significantly affected by application of metribuzin while urease activity remained unaffected. The physicochemical properties viz. pH, organic matter content and temperature should be considered along with application rate of metribuzin in order to achieve satisfactory weed control and reduce environmental risk associated with the use of metribuzin in different crops.

description: Agritourism helps U.S. farmers and ranchers generate revenue from recreational or educational activities, such as tours of a working farm, camping, or horseback riding. Beginning and small and mid-size farms are increasingly exploring agritourism as a strategy to remain competitive. Agritourism also has the potential to help revitalize rural economies, educate the public about agriculture, and preserve agricultural heritage. According to data from the Census of Agriculture, farm agritourism revenue more than tripled between 2002 and 2017.
