title: Multivariate analysis in the dissection of phenotypic variation of Ethiopian cultivated barley (<i>Hordeum vulgare</i> ssp Vulgare L.) genotypes

description: Efficient conservation and subsequent utilization of genetic resources are primarily dependent on the strength in the assessment of variation among genotypes. An experiment was carried out aiming at determining the extent of phenotypic variability present in a panel of 320 barley genotypes and identifying candidate lines for further evaluation in improvement programs and successive utilization. It was conducted at two locations in Ethiopia, Aris Negelle and Holetta in the 2017/18 and 2018/19 cropping seasons. Among the best 30 lines for grain yield across all the environments, lines from farmers’ varieties constitute 73% and lines that mature in less than 85 days were identified. Based on the spike row number, the best-performing lines combined across all the environments were six-rowed types. Based on the two years’ data at Arsi Negelle the two-rowed spike type dominates, and at Holetta the six-rowed type. After principal component analysis, the first three PCs with an eigenvalue greater than one explained 70% of the variation. The correlation coefficient between grain and biomass yield was significant and though low (r = 0.38***). Significant, high, and negative correlation coefficient (−0.72***) was observed between 1000 kernel weight and the number of seeds per spike. A positive correlation between biomass and grain yield attracts farmers as a feed and food crop as it has also been signified in the current research. Having the improved barley gene pool largely from international sources, combining the improved materials with farmers’ varieties may minimize the existing gap between the local and improved barley gene pool.

title: Climate variability indicators - scientific data versus farmers perception; evidence from southern Ghana

description: Even though copious knowledge has been advanced in the extant literature on climate variability and change. Two schools of thought exist—one that views farmers’ perceptions of climate indicators as erroneous and inferior, while the other views, scientific data, specifically meteorological data, to be superior and accurate. The accuracy of farmers perception of climate variability indicators is in doubt relative to the scientific data. This article targets assessing farmers perception of climate variability indicators compared to the scientific data with an eye to distil policy implications for climate variability resilience and adaptation. Using cross-sectional data on 197 smallholder maize farmers in southern Ghana, the article answers the research question: To what extent do smallholder farmers perception of climate variability indicators align or vary from objective climate data? We find variation between farmers perception of climate indicators and the objective data from the Ghana Meteorological Agency. Specifically, while farmer perceptions showed a decrease in rainfall over the past 10 years (2009–2018), the objective data proved otherwise. Again, a contradiction existed between farmers perception of sunshine and the scientific data. However, farmers’ perceptions of temperature aligned with the objective data. The scientific data established coefficient of variations of 0.21, 0.04, 0.03, and 0.12 for rainfall, sunshine, maximum, and minimum temperatures respectively. We recommend collaborative efforts between the national research council’s, Ghana Meteorological Agency, and academic institutions to commission further studies that will test, confirm, and harmonize the reliability of smallholder perceptions of climate variability and change in climate adaptation efforts.

title: Nutritional and nutraceutical changes in blue corn (<i>Zea mays</i>) stored at different temperatures

description: Recently, blue/purple maize has gained prominence for its beneficial health properties, however, in Mexico, post-harvest handling of pigmented corn grains reaches losses of up to 80%, where in addition to quantity, nutritional and nutraceutical quality is seriously affected by inadequate storage conditions. The objective of this research was to quantify the nutritional and nutraceutical changes in blue corn grains stored for four months at 6, 25, and 35 °C. The results indicate that, at the fourth month of storage, temperatures affected the nutritional content to a different extent, with decreases of 66.83% in moisture and 57.79% in protein, and with increases of 10.92% in carbohydrates and 49.67% in starch. The concentration of phenols, flavonoids and total anthocyanins decreased by 49.33, 61.09 and 53.33%, after four months of storage at 35 °C, which were reflected in reductions in antioxidant capacity by 17.87, 17.84 and 18.93% for 2, 2− diphenyl − 1−picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2-azino-bis (3−ethylbenzothiazoline −6−sulfonic acid) (ABTS) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), respectively. However, no significant changes in the nutraceutical content were generated during the storage of the grains at 6 °C. High temperatures over a prolonged storage period could seriously affect the concentrations of functional compounds in blue/purple corn kernels before consumption.

title: A comparison of intervention strategies to improve helminthiasis, nutrition and cognitive status among school-age children in helminth endemic farming and fishing areas in Ghana

description: To evaluate the impact of intervention strategies on helminthiasis, the nutritional and cognitive status of School-Age Children (SAC), we conducted a community trial with 4 intervention arms; “Nutrition Education Only” (NutEd), “Supplementation Only” (Suppl), “Nutrition Education+Supplementation” (NutEd+Suppl) versus a ‘Non-intervention‘(Control) group. The intervention was conducted on 358 SAC from 8 randomly selected schools (4 schools from fishing and 4 schools from farming communities) in the Kwahu Afram Plains South District of Ghana. Data were collected at baseline, third, and sixth-month post-intervention. Data were obtained through questionnaire, anthropometry, parasitology (faecal and urine analysis), hemoglobin levels (Hb) and whole blood zinc levels. The Ravens Colored Progressive Matrices (RCPM) were used for the cognitive assessment. At baseline, the overall helminthiasis prevalence was 29.6%, which decreased to 6.3% at the 6<sup>th</sup>-month post-intervention. About 7.5% of all the children were underweight, 11.2% were stunted, 21.5% were acutely malnourished, 46.1% were anemic and 31.4% were zinc deficient. These decreased to 5.3% (underweight), 8.5% (stunting), 9.8% (acute malnutrition), 16.1% (anemia) and 9.3% (zinc deficiency), respectively, at the 6<sup>th</sup>-month post-intervention. At baseline, 15.6% of the children passed the cognitive test which increased to 32.4% at the 6<sup>th</sup>-month post-intervention. The “NutEd” treatment recorded the most significantly improved of bmi-for-age z-score (0.27 ± 0.88, <i>p</i> = 0.002), height-for-age z-score (0.16 ± 0.38, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.0001) and anemia (Hb levels; 1.22 ± 1.13 g/dL, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.0001), The “NutEd+Suppl” group recorded the highest improvement in zinc levels (46.39 ± 22.30 µmol/L, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.0001) and the “Suppl” group the highest improvement in cognitive performance (3.08 ± 6.07, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.0001) between the baseline and the 6<sup>th</sup>-month post-intervention.

title: High-Resolution Texture/Friction Dataset: Characterizing Asphalt Pavements and Aggregate Mosaics at Varied Polishing Stages for Measured Friction Analysis

description: This database comprises high-resolution topographies of 30 distinct surface textures, derived from five different types of aggregates. Each topography is in “txt” format and is composed of 15 parallel profiles separated by 0.5 mm. Each profile has a length of 76 mm. Every two points of the profile are separated by 0.01 mm. To ensure a comprehensive assessment of surface texture, we created both asphalt and mosaic samples for each aggregate type, resulting in a total of 10 sample variations (5 asphalts + 5 mosaics). Each of the 10 samples underwent three levels of polishing, yielding three distinct states of roughness per sample and a total of 30 unique surface textures.
Polishing tests were conducted using the Wehner-Schulze machine, which features two stations: one for polishing and another for measuring friction. During the polishing process, a rotary disc with three rubber cones rolled on the specimen surface, applying a designated load. To expedite the polishing, a mixture of 5% quartz powder (< 0.06mm) in 95% water was sprinkled onto the specimen. The polishing was performed on a ring, with the machine programmable to stop after a specific number of rotations.
Once the specimen was polished, it was manually transferred to the friction-measuring station, equipped with a rotary disc holding three small rubber pads arranged at 120°. Each rubber pad had an average length of approximately 30 mm, a width of 15 mm, and a thickness of 4 mm, loaded at 56N (refer to Figure 3). To measure friction, the disc was launched and accelerated to a speed of 100 km/h at its circumference. At 90 km/h, water was sprayed onto the specimen surface. Upon reaching 100 km/h, the motor stopped, and the disc descended until the rubber pads made contact with the specimen surface. The rotation ceased due to the friction between the rubber pads and the specimen, and the resulting friction-speed curve was recorded. The analysis focused on the friction value at 60 km/h.

title: Production of CO2 from Fossil Fuel Burning by Fuel Type, 1860-1982

description: Global carbon dioxide emissions for 1950 through 1982 were estimated by Marland and Rotty (1984) from fuel production data from the U.N. Energy Statistics Yearbook (1983, 1984). Data before 1950 came from Keeling (1973). Fuel-production data were used in these calculations because they appeared to be more reliable on a global basis than fuel-consumption data. The data given are the year and annual global CO2 emissions (annual global total; cumulative global total since 1860; and annual global emissions from solid fuels, liquid fuels, natural gas, gas flaring, and cement manufacturing). These data provide the only pre-1950 estimates of the amount of carbon emitted to the atmosphere from fossil-fuel burning. The CO2 emission record since 1950 has been updated and revised several times with the most recent estimates being published by Marland et al. (1989).
