The Interactions Between Drought Tolerant Corn Hybrids and Plant Water-Stress on Weeds and Their Host Capability for Spider Mites
Creators: name: Odemba, Mercy Adhiambo
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2024

description: With climate change, it is predicted that more frequent high temperatures and drought severity will lead to an increase in damage caused by pests that thrive under these conditions. Spider mite outbreaks, for example, are associated with plant waterstress and there is evidence that some weeds are more resilient and adapted to drought than some crops, leading to major concerns for the management of these two pest types. Weeds directly compete with crops for limited resources, but what is unclear is which weeds harbor spider mites and whether they exacerbate the impact of spider mites on corn crops under water-stressed environments like Utah. In addition, farmers have access to technologies including drought tolerant corn hybrids in the region to help alleviate water-stress but their impact on crop-pest interactions and management is unknown. Therefore, I started by evaluating the competitive effects of redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus) and common lambsquarters (Chenopodium album) on drought tolerant (DT) and drought susceptible (DS) corn hybrids, exposed to optimal and reduced irrigation levels in a semi-controlled and greenhouse studies. Weeds accumulated high shoot biomass when growing with DS corn than DT corn under reduced irrigation suggesting that DT corn outcompeted weeds under water stressed conditions. I then evaluated the critical period of weed control (CPWC) in a DT versus DS stand of corn, exposed to the two irrigation levels. DT corn had a shorter CPWC compared to DS, emphasizing the role of DT in outcompeting weeds, thus the shorter period of weed control. Finally, I conducted a survey to identify weed species at the edges of corn fields to evaluate associated spider mite species. This was followed by a parallel field study to investigate how varied irrigation levels impact spider mite infestations from weeds to corn. I identified weeds acting as hosts to spider mites at the edges of corn fields and observed that reducing irrigation level led to an increase in mite populations and their eggs. Mite and egg densities were also lower on DT corn compared to DS corn. Results show the potential of DT corn in outcompeting weeds and spider mite populations under water stressed conditions. This information may assist in developing strategies for managing the two pest types, consequently, contributing to the development of integrated pest management for corn production systems in water stressed environments.

description: Fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) have been receiving attention as a key technology to reduce the green-house gas (GHG) emission by replacing internal combustion engines in the mobility sector. As a crucial component of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), Bipolar plates (BPPs) provide a multitude of important functions such as distributing media, providing structural rigidity, heat dissipation and electrical pathway. To provide 100 to 150kW of electric power for mobile applications, around 300 to 400 BPPs are required in a single stack. Therefore, increasing production rate and reducing the manufacturing costs of BPPs is crucial to an exponentially increasing market volume and support the large-scale deployment of FCEVs. The metal forming process has great impact on production rate and therefore inherits a high potential to realize economic viability thanks to its scalable production characteristics. However, millions of repetitive sheet metal forming operations leads to wear on the forming tool, which refers to the deterioration of tool geometry over time. Furthermore, due to the high precision requirement, the tool wear has great significance in micro scale forming, which is used to manufacture BPPs. In addition to that, the determination of tool wear is a highly interdependent and multicriterial phenomenon, for example regarding the material model and surface boundary condition. An excessive tool wear can lead to inaccurate forming results, stress concentration, and potential fracture on the metallic BPP. Therefore, consideration and assessment of tool wear is important especially for the high-volume production scenario. In this study, a tool wear simulation model was developed in ABAQUS simulation software to alternate time consuming and resource intensive experiments. To predict the wear depth on forming tools in the sheet metal forming, where contact sliding and abrasive wear are prevalent, an Archard wear model was used as a governing equation. Predicted wear depth calculated from the governing equation was then updated on each mesh node by the geometry update scheme. The developed simulation model aims to provide insights into the wear patterns, anticipate the lifespan of tools, and enable proactive maintenance strategies. Furthermore, by considering factors such as geometry, material properties of tool and sheet metal and contact conditions, the simulation model aids in making informed decisions about tool selection and process optimization, contributing to improved efficiency and cost-effectiveness in high-volume bipolar plate production.
The That-Trace Effect: Evidence from Spanish–English Code-Switching

description: The that-trace effect is the fact that many languages (like English) ban the extraction of embedded-clause subjects but not objects over an overt complementizer like that, while many other languages (like Spanish) allow such extractions. The effect and its cross-linguistic variation have been the subject of intense research but remain largely a mystery, with no clear consensus on their underpinnings. We contribute novel evidence to these debates by using Spanish–English code-switching (the use of two languages in one sentence) to test five contemporary theoretical accounts of the that-trace effect. We conducted a formal acceptability judgment experiment, manipulating the extracted argument and code-switch site to test different combinations of linguistic features. We found that subject extraction is only permitted in Spanish–English code-switching when both the C head (que ‘that’) and the T head (i.e., the verb) are in Spanish, but not when either functional head is in English. Our results demonstrate indirect support for two of the five theories we test, failing to support the other three. Our findings also provide new evidence in favor of the view that the that-trace effect is tightly linked to the availability of post-verbal subjects. Finally, we outline how our results can narrow the range of possible theoretical accounts, demonstrating how code-switching data can contribute to core questions in linguistic theory.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: There is a lack of information about barriers and facilitators to end of life care from the perspectives of people with intellectual disabilities, leaving policy and practice unable to deliver truly person-centered care. Complicating this matter is a paucity of qualitative methodological guidance on how to conduct research that may fill this knowledge gap. This thesis aims to explore the perceived barriers and facilitators that people with intellectual disabilities may experience accessing quality end of life care and provide recommendations on conducting qualitative research with this population on topics related to death and dying. To know what has already been done on topics related to death and dying, a scoping review of qualitative research including people with intellectual disabilities as participants was conducted, identifying 25 articles. Most articles used interviews or focus groups and some used multiple methods of data collection, necessitating flexibility. Next, focus groups were held with people with intellectual disabilities to explore their perceptions of barriers and facilitators to accessing good end of life care. Using reflexive thematic analysis, three themes were generated: Unsettling Transitions, Maintaining Familiarity, and Respecting People’s Wishes. In order for people with intellectual disabilities to make truly informed decisions about end of life, education on the topic must be developed for them as well as their carers. Finally, a policy paper was developed with the aim of increasing the amount and quality of qualitative research on this topic. Initiatives aiming to guarantee good end of life care for this population from healthcare professionals and social services must consider the views of people with intellectual disabilities.

description: Installation art, with its immersive and participatory character, has been argued to require the use and awareness of the body, which potentially constitute key parts of the artwork's experience and appreciation. Heightened body awareness is even argued to be a key to particularly profound emotional or even transformative states, which have been frequently ascribed to this genre. However, the body in the experience of installation art has rarely been empirically considered. To address this gap, we investigated the body's role in the experience of Tomás Saraceno's in orbit installation. Based on a list of self-report items created from a review of the theoretical literature, we—for the first time—captured (quantitatively and qualitatively): what kind of subjective bodily experiences visitors (N = 230) reported, how these items grouped into clusters (using network science), and how these relate to emotion, art appraisal, and transformative outcomes. Network analysis of the items determined four communities related to “interoception,” “presence,” “disturbance,” and “proprioception.” Proprioception (e.g., awareness of balance/movement/weight) turned out to be a significant determinant of art appreciation in our study, and, together with “disturbing” body experiences (feeling awkward/watched/chills), coincided with transformation. We also assessed individual differences in body awareness yet did not find that these moderate those relationships. We suggest future research on installation art based on a more unified assessment of the role of the body in embodied-enactive aesthetics and its relation to the intensity and impact of art experience in general.
A Crystal Engineering Approach for the Design of High-Performing, Low Sensitivity, Nitrogen-Rich Energetic Salts

description: Nitrogen-rich energetic materials (EMs) are characterized by their typically high values for heat-of-formation as well as the environmental benefit associated with the production of nitrogen gas upon detonation. This makes them the most likely class of materials to replace currently used explosives such as lead azide (LA), 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), and 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane (RDX). The sensitivity of EMs to mechanical stimuli such as impact and friction is governed primarily by the packing arrangement, as observed in the crystal structure. For this reason, crystal engineering is the most effective tool to achieve low sensitivity, high-performing EMs. In Chapter 2 the pH-dependent formation of two different dihydrazinyl tetrazine/azobistetrazolate salts was explored. These materials have high calculated detonation parameters and are expected to have large differences in sensitivity based on the different packing arrangements adopted. In Chapter 3, azobistetrazolate was substituted for a series of more thermally stable anions for the creation of a family of dihydrazinyltetrazine-based secondary explosives. The use of oxalyldihydrazide (ODH) as an energetic cation was explored in Chapter 4, where the selective formation of both singly and doubly protonated versions of ODH allowed for the creation of both 1:1 and 2:1 energetic salts.

Subjects: subject: Education

description: This paper focuses on an analysis of the two general approaches to educational planning--the centralized top-down, approach and the localized, bottom-up, approach. It then reviews the forces acting to promote a reconsideration of educational planning methods, followed by an analysis of the assumptions underlying newer approaches which place greater emphasis on involvement of learners in the planning process. The document then analyzes the concepts of participation and decentralization. Three types of participation are described, and criteria for distinguishing between them are discussed. The concept of decentralization is examined in order to provide tools for distinguishing between rhetorical uses of the term and the reality of the organizational structures used to implement decentralization. These analytical concepts are then applied to three brief illustrations of planning procedures: the national reform effort in Peru, the educational reform statement in Zambia, and the more localized approach from Senegal. The paper concludes with suggestions about changes in the role of planners in order to be more responsive to the new educational goals of the future.

AI Driven Precision Oncology: Predictive Biomarker Discovery and Personalized Treatment Optimization Using Genomic Data
Creators: name: Kumar, Anil
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: Precision oncology has revolutionized cancer treatment by leveraging genomic data to develop targeted therapies tailored to individual patients. Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly machine learning and deep learning models, has emerged as a powerful tool for predictive biomarker discovery and personalized treatment optimization. This paper explores the role of AI-driven methodologies in identifying predictive biomarkers, stratifying patients based on molecular profiles, and optimizing treatment regimens to improve therapeutic efficacy while minimizing adverse effects. Through high-dimensional genomic analysis, AI algorithms can uncover hidden patterns in multi-omics datasets, including gene expression, mutations, and epigenetic modifications, to predict treatment responses and disease progression. Reinforcement learning and neural network-based approaches enable adaptive treatment strategies, allowing for real-time therapeutic adjustments based on evolving patient-specific genomic landscapes. Additionally, AI-driven computational frameworks integrate clinical and genomic data to enhance precision medicine initiatives, reducing trial-and-error treatment approaches and improving patient outcomes. This study examines the latest advancements in AI-driven precision oncology, highlighting successful applications in biomarker discovery, drug repurposing, and response prediction for immunotherapy and chemotherapy. Furthermore, we address key challenges, including data privacy concerns, model interpretability, and the need for robust validation in clinical settings. A comparative analysis of AI-based personalized treatment models versus traditional clinical decision-making underscores the transformative potential of AI in oncology. Future directions emphasize refining AI models for real-time clinical application, integrating multi-omics data for enhanced predictive accuracy, and addressing ethical considerations in AI-driven cancer treatment.

description: Report Introduction: For convenience of presentation the subject matter of this report is divided into three parts. Part I surveys broadly the major developments in farm-mortgage credit from the period before the World War down to the present. Throughout this historical section emphasis is placed upon the reaction of the total volume of mortgage debt, the distribution of outstanding farm mortgages by lender groups, and the interest rates charged, to the economic developments of this period. The final chapter of part I intensively reviews the mortgage-credit developments of the last decade. Part II reviews the development of existing Federal farm-mortgage credit institutions. It presents systematically factual information relating to the Federal institutions that is believed to be essential to an understanding of the major trends and developments in the participation of the Federal Government in the mortgage-credit field. Part III explores the major current issues and problems in farm-mortgage credit, primarily to lay bare the basic issues and problems involved and to indicate the interrelations between the several major groups of these issues and problems. This publication is intended to serve a principal purpose of providing a compact summary and analysis of factual material on farm-mortgage credit heretofore available only in scattered sources. At the same time it is intended to orient the major current problems and public issues in the farm-mortgage credit field. As regards the latter purpose, more emphasis is placed upon identification of problems and issues, and upon exploration of their interrelationships in the light of alternative public objectives than upon formulation of specific recommendations.

description: Guidelines for learning management in social studies serve as a tool in the development of critical thinking skills among 21st century learners. The guidelines play a key role in the development of learners and educational development, which is regarded as essential for the country development. It is a cornerstone in the development of human resources to be equipped with the knowledge, skills and attitude toward working and living happily with others. The following are the management guidelines: 1. Training on the process to generate knowledge for concept development; 2. Training on the process of practices to develop skills in observation, comparative thinking, classification and reasoning skills, and 3. Training on the process value creation to develop applications to situations in today’s society. Today’s society worldwide is exposed to the fast-pace changes in the social, cultural, political, economic and technological dimensions. This results in diverse ways of life of the people ultimately leading to a multicultural society. Therefore, it is essential to accelerate the development of learners and teachers to be able to adapt themselves and cope up with the fast changing world. There is a need for the learning management so that learners are prepared with new and ever-increasing knowledge and information. Manpower development is required so that people are able to catch up with current social trends in all dimensions and with the future’s changing trends, with quality and sustainability performance.

description: It is the general requirement of urban renewal and construction in China during the 14th Five-year Plan period to strengthen urban cultural characteristics and improve the quality of urban life. At present, there are some theoretical and methodological contradictions between the enhancement of urban characteristics and the improvement of urban life, and it is necessary to explore and solve the method of the integration of the history and life of urban space. This paper takes Xuzhou ‘cultural axis space’ as an example, by using literature analysis summarized urban historic space, field research summary of the urban living space, finally adopts the method of graphic analysis on the historic elements of urban cultural axis space and life factor integration analysis, In order to solve the integration of cultural heritage and public life in urban renewal.
Through the analysis and research, it is found that the integration path of history and life of urban space can be the overall construction of urban cultural environment, the integration of modern urban life into urban historical places, and the integration of urban cultural elements into urban public life. Through constructing the path of the integration of the history and life of urban space, it provides ideas for the construction of urban characteristic culture and the improvement of urban life in urban renewal.

description: Chefs frequently rely on their taste to assess the content and flavor of dishes during cooking. While tasting the food, the mastication process also provides continuous feedback by exposing the taste receptors to food at various stages of chewing. Since different ingredients of the dish undergo specific changes during chewing, the mastication helps to understand the food content. The current methods of electronic tasting, on the contrary, always use a single taste snapshot of a homogenized sample. We propose a robotic setup that uses the mixing to imitate mastication and tastes the dish at two different mastication phases. Each tasting is done using a conductance probe measuring conductance at multiple, spatially distributed points. This data is used to classify 9 varieties of scrambled eggs with tomatoes. We test four different tasting methods and analyze the resulting classification performance, showing a significant improvement over tasting homogenized samples. The experimental results show that tasting at two states of mechanical processing of the food increased classification F1 score to 0.93 in comparison to the traditional tasting of a homogenized sample resulting in F1 score of 0.55. We attribute this performance increase to the fact that different dishes are affected differently by the mixing process, and have different spatial distributions of the salinity. It helps the robot to distinguish between dishes of the same average salinity, but different content of ingredients. This work demonstrates that mastication plays an important role in robotic tasting and implementing it can improve the tasting ability of robotic chefs.

description: Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) offers researchers the opportunity to capture the internal validity of experiments. Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted to measure how gender stereotypes used to evaluate political candidates are magnified or mitigated by contextual circumstances, particularly regarding perceived levels of threat. The 1074 respondents were divided between 8 conditions; four of these received an article discussing the looming threat of terrorist attacks, while the other four received an article predicting a period of increased well-being. These groups were divided further into the four possible combinations of a male or female Democrat versus a male or female Republican candidate for governor. This allowed for comparisons between responses to candidates based on gender in threat-based contexts and peaceful contexts.

description: To mitigate the post-operative complication rates associated with massive bone allografts, tissue engineering techniques have been employed to decellularize entire bones through perfusion with a sequence of solvents. Mechanical assessment was performed in order to compare conventional massive bone allografts and perfusion/decellularized massive bone allografts. Ten porcine femurs were included. Five were decellularized by perfusion. The remaining 5 were left untreated as the “control” group. Biomechanical testing was conducted on each bone, encompassing five different assessments: screw pull-out, 3-points bending, torsion, compression and Vickers indentation. Under the experimental conditions of this study, all five destructive tested variables (maximum force until screw pull-out, maximum elongation until screw pull-out, energy to pull out the screw, fracture resistance in flexion and maximum constrain of compression) were statistically significantly superior in the control group. All seven nondestructive variables (Young’s modulus in flexion, Young’s modulus in shear stress, Young’s modulus in compression, Elastic conventional limit in compression, lengthening to rupture in compression, resilience in compression and Vickers Hardness) showed no significant difference. Descriptive statistical results suggest a tendency for the biomechanical characteristics of decellularized bone to decrease compared with the control group. However, statistical inferences demonstrated a slight significant superiority of the control group with destructive mechanical stresses. Nondestructive mechanical tests (within the elastic phase of Young’s modulus) were not significantly different.

Morphological Variants of Soft Palate in Patients with  Malocclusion  –  A  Digital  Cephalometric  Research  Study
Creators: name: People's University
Publisher: name: People's University
Year: 2024
Subjects: LC, soft palate shape, malocclusion, velar width, velar length.

description: ABSTRACT:Background- Patients with cleft lip and palate, swollen adenoids, snoring, poorly retained maxillary dentures,  obstructive  sleep  apnea  syndrome  (OSAS),  and  skeletal  craniofacial  malocclusion  are commonly associated with soft palate dysfunctions. We carried out a study in our institute to assess various shapes of soft palate in different malocclusions by Lateral cephalometry.Materials & Methods- 100 OPD patients who came to the department of Oral Medicine and Radiology in our institute formed the study group. The patients were subjected for LC radiograph using Planmeca Proline XC LC along with software Planmeca Romexis 2.9.2.R with Exposure time – 17 sec, mA- 5, kVp- depending on physical status of patient. Radiographs were observed by two experienced oral radiologists  at  different  time  period  to  avoid  bias.  The  soft  palate  morphology  was  observed  and categorized into six types as suggested by You et al.Results- Out of a total of 100 participants, 57 were classified as Class I, 39 as Class II, and 4 as Class III when  malocclusion  was  examined.  48%  had  leaf-shaped  palates,  whereas  35%  had  rat-tail-shaped palates. Leaf shaped soft palate was most prevalent in males & females. Leaf shaped palate was evident in Class I and Class II, and Butt shaped soft palate was evident in Class III.Conclusion- The comparison of the age, VL, VW and PD of soft plate among different genders, was done. It was found that VL, VW differed significantly. Malocclusion and malocclusion shape, have a strong positive association, based on Pearson correlation test.

description: Different forms of historic structures within the city show diverse cultural and social factors that not only shape the urban personality, but also construct the complexity of historical and modern spaces. Therefore, as far as urban renewal is concerned, on the one hand, it is essential to protect historic structures to stimulate cultural consciousness of spatial intervention in order to preserve the urban personality and on the other hand, it is necessary to reuse historic structures to keep the possibilities of a continuous dialogue between the past, the present and the future of the city. Through the methods of historical analysis and empirical research, this paper takes the renewal of Jinling Machinery Manufacturing Bureau (JMMB), the modern industrial site, as a case to analyze the relationship between historic structures, cultural consciousness and urban development on two scales -urban areas and plot. The research shows that: 1) the continuation of a stable historic structure is the key to maintain cultural identity in the process of space regeneration; 2) the historic structure contains tangible space forms and historical narrative logic; 3) the cultural consciousness determines the value orientation of space regeneration; and 4) the new functions match culture themes that can promote social values of space regeneration.

subject: Curriculum and pedagogy theory and development

description: The influence of the 21st century technology plays an important role in determining human behavior to the extent of instilling materialism and consumerism in mankind. Such behaviors will only lead to the behavior that deviates from the social norms, causing social disorder and lack of moral and ethical responsibility in performing duty for oneself and forothers in society. Therefore, it is the essential task of social studies teachers in instilling and enhancing the good qualities in the learners by way of providing diverse approaches in learning management for learners. Students are encouraged to practice on their own by following the procedures: 1) Interest in Accountability;2) Endorsement Accountability 3) In Quest of Accountability 4) Exhibition of Accountability and 5) Inference of Accountability, in order for the learners to behave in a socially responsible manner.
