Effect of Added Urea Foliar Spray and Leaf Clipping on Growth and Yield Response of Mungbean

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

An experiment was conducted at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, during March to May 2018 to study the impact of added urea foliar spray and leaf clipping on growth and yield of mungbean. The experiment was laid out in Split-plot Design with three replications and composed of four levels of urea foliar spray viz. F0 = Recommended Fertilizer (RF) + No Foliar Spray (FS), F1 = RF + 1% Urea FS at Flower Initiation (FI), F2 = RF + 2% Urea FS at FI, F3 = RF + 3% Urea FS at FI and four levels of Leaf clipping viz. C0 = No leaf clipping, C1 = Clipping 1 basal leaf, C 2 = Clipping 2 basal leaves, C3= Clipping total apical leaves having no inflorescence. Results indicated that foliar spray and leaf clipping had significant effect on most of the growth and yield contributing parameters. In case of foliar spray of urea, the maximum plant height, nodules plant-1, highest above ground dry matter plant-1, pods plant-1, pod length, seeds pod-1, 1000 seed weight, seed yield, stover yield and biological yield were recorded from F0. In case of leaf clipping, all growth and yield attributes were recorded highest from C1. Regarding combined effect, the highest growth and yield parameters were recorded from the treatment combination of F0C1. So, F0 along with C1 is suggested for yield improvement in mungbean cultivation. Bangladesh Agron. J. 2022, 25(2): 57-65

Comprehensive Assessment of Serum Estradiol Impact on Selected Physiologic Markers Observed During in-Vitro Fertilization and Embryo Transfer Cycles

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective: This investigation assessed the effect of serum estradiol levels on outcomes of in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF) cycles. Materials and Method: This was a retrospective cohort study of 1123 IVF cycles comparing impact of estradiol (E 2) levels on follicular development, fertilization, embryo quality, implantation, pregnancy rate, miscarriage rate, and selected obstetric complications. Results: We found high serum E 2 levels to be significantly associated with increased number of mature follicles and mature oocytes retrieved (p&lt;0.01, for both). E 2 levels were also associated with more viable and good-quality embryos (p&lt;0.01). There was no significant impact of E 2 on oocyte maturation, fertilization rate, embryo quality, or overall pregnancy rates. Moreover, high E 2 levels were significantly associated with higher implantation rates and reduced incidence of miscarriage (p&lt;0.05, for both). Conclusion: Within the safety range in clinical practice, our data demonstrate a generally positive effect of high serum E 2 on selected IVF parameters.
Analysis of the Principal Component Combining with Weight Estimation for DPSK Signals

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

We analyze the principal component combining with differential detection (PCC-DD) with weight estimation for the demodulation of DPSK signals in diversity systems. The estimated weight vector is considered to be the principal component of the exponentially weighted sample correlation matrix of the signals at diversity channel outputs. We arrive at closed form expressions for the approximate bit error rate (BER) for the scenario where channel gains are fixed, and the approximate average BER for the scenario where channel gains are independent identically Rayleigh distributed. The analysis provides accurate BER approximation, and is justified by the results from computer simulations. We also arrive at a rule of thumb about the value of the forgetting factor of the exponentially weighted sample correlation matrix should be selected for PCC-DD to yield good performance under time varying Rayleigh fading channels

The biological activity of secalonic acid D from Aspergillus ochraceus

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

The biochemical property of a xanthone derivative, secalonic acid D (SA-D) was compared with that of an anthraquinone derivative, skyrin which had been demonstrated to be an uncoupler on the oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria. Both compounds were revealed to have pKa values at very close pH to each other (SA-D at pH 6.4, skyrin at pH 6.1). SA-D was found to emit a strong fluorescence (Ext. 380 nm, Em. 535 nm) when dissolved in organic solvents or bound by liposomes, mitochondria, or BSA, whereas skyrin did not show any fluorescence even when bound by these materials. SA-D was demonstrated to uncouple the oxidative phorphorylation in mitochondria at very close concentrations to those of skyrin, but not to induce mitochondrial swelling, though skyrin displayed both abilities of uncoupling mitochondrial respiration and of inducing mitochondrial swelling.

Relationships of MMP-9, E-cadherin, and VEGF expression with clinicopathological features and response to chemosensitivity in gastric cancer

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The matrix metalloproteinase-9, E-cadherin, and vascular endothelial growth factor play an important role in behavior of tumor cell growth, invasion, and metastasis. In this study, we investigated the relationships of matrix metalloproteinase-9, E-cadherin, and vascular endothelial growth factor expression with clinicopathological features and results of chemosensitivity tested by collagen gel droplet–embedded culture–drug sensitivity test in gastric cancer. Fresh specimens were used for collagen gel droplet–embedded culture–drug sensitivity test and paired fixed specimens were used for immunohistochemistry. Positive expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 was associated with poorly differentiated carcinoma (p = 0.032), lymph node metastasis (p = 0.022), and tumor stage (p = 0.023). Negative expression of E-cadherin was associated with poorly differentiated carcinoma (p = 0.007), lymph node metastasis (p = 0.012), and tumor stage (p = 0.007). Positive expression of vascular endothelial growth factor was associated with tumor size (p = 0.040) and stage (p = 0.007). Collagen gel droplet–embedded culture–drug sensitivity test was successfully evaluated in 56 patients. Among them, 29 (51.7%) patients were resistant to TS-1 and 31 (55.3%) patients were resistant to L-OHP. The L-OHP resistance rate in vascular endothelial growth factor positive patients was significantly higher than that in negative patients (p = 0.031). The L-OHP resistance rate in E-cadherin negative patients was significantly higher than that in positive patients (p = 0.014). In conclusion, matrix metalloproteinase-9, E-cadherin, and vascular endothelial growth factor were involved in tumor invasion and metastasis. Positive expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 and vascular endothelial growth factor and negative expression of E-cadherin were malignant markers for gastric cancer. Positive expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and negative expression of E-cadherin were associated with L-OHP resistance.
Persistent Congenital Isolation of the Suprapatellar Pouch Mimicking Patellofemoral Disease

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A patient with congenital isolation of the suprapatellar bursa presented with pain suggestive of patellofemoral joint disease. At arthroscopy, injection filled only the bursa. The diagnosis of congenital isolation of the suprapatellar bursa was made by the injection of radiopaque material into the bursa. Excision of the bursa eliminated the symptoms. This case is instructive, as it documents an unusual congenital anomaly that can complicate arthroscopic technique and can be a rare cause of knee pain.
Effects of Beta Agonist GAH/034 on Carcass Composition and Meat Quality in Pigs

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

There has been recent interest in all the red meat species in a group of compounds known as β-agonists which reduce the proportion of fat in the carcass when added to the diet. In this work the effects of the novel Glaxo compound GAH/034 are reported. Sixty crossbred (Large White x Landrace) gilts from 16 litters were used. From 25 to 80 kg live weight, 2 groups of 10 were fed a control diet (C) containing 13 MJDE and 190g crude protein/kg. Four treatment (T) groups of 10 were fed the same diet containing 4 ppm GAH/034. All groups were fed on the same time-based feeding scale which allowed 1.2 kg/pig/d at 25 kg Increasing by 0.2 kg/d each week to an upper limit of 3.0 kg/day. All pigs were fed the control diet for four days before slaughter at the IFR abattoir at 80 kg live weight after which a range of carcass and meat quality tests were applied. Half the pigs were fully dissected into lean, bone, skin, subcutaneous fat and intermuscular fat.
Cervical Phimosis

Milk-fed calves: 1. The effect of milk intake upon the herbage intake and performance of grazing calves

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

SUMMARY Two trials were conducted, using 18 and 30 castrated male calves respectively, to investigate the importance of milk in the diet of calves during the first 8 months of life and its effect on herbage intake and live-weight change. Reconstituted milk substitute was fed in a manner that simulated the supply of milk for lactation, yields of 2101, 1635 and 1165 kg (Expt 1) and 1906, 1609, 1304, 1005 and 701 kg (Expt 2) over a 240-day period. Calves were purchased in mid-February, when approximately 1 week old, and housed individually until turned out to graze at 10 weeks of age. At pasture, the calves were strip grazed on swards of Lolium perenne cv. S. 23 or S. 24 and given a daily herbage allowance of 60 g D.m. /kg live weight. The live-weight gain response to milk consumption was 81 g/kg milk fed during the housed period and 50 g during the grazing season. Herbage and milk intake per unit live weight were inversely related but because the grazing season responses were confounded with the treatments during the housed periods, it was not possible to determine true replacement rates. Herbage intake per head increased with time but there was no general trend when intake was expressed per unit live weight.
Characterising Bird-Window Collisions from an Avian Visual Perspective

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Collisions with architectural glazing on buildings are a major anthropogenic source of bird mortality. Bird collisions can be prevented by applying bird safe design principles in building construction and renovations. Modifications to the appearance of glazing, such as using applications of visual markers on glass, can provide signals to alert birds to presence of an obstacle. To optimize visual markers for mitigating collisions with buildings, bird safe design must consider visual perception and behaviour of birds in the moments leading up to detection and avoidance. However, avian visual perception of glass, a unique and highly dynamic category of materials, remains poorly described in the literature. Defining relationships between avian and human visual perception, glazing and environmental variables such as lighting can support more effective real-world architectural applications of emerging technologies tested under controlled experimental conditions. This thesis examined environmental variables associated with the risk of bird collisions with glass on institutional campus buildings in London, Ontario, Canada as well as the efficacy of mitigation techniques using visual markers. To develop the methods, I reviewed assumptions and constraints associated with existing glass testing, such as experiments in the field and using flight arenas. I discussed approaches to improving the interpretation and generalisability of behavioural data. I then applied a combination of novel experimental and passive observational methods using building surveys, video recording and flight arenas to examine understudied aspects of collisions, yielding insights into effects of lighting conditions, flight kinematics, and glazing characteristics on outcomes of collisions. I found that collision risk increases with reflectivity of glass and decreases when surfaces use high contrast markings. When accounting for other factors, building façades with the most reflective glazing were associated with the greatest number of collisions. I found birds tested in flight experiments avoided markers applied on glass and transparent film. I gathered evidence that avoidance was affected by environmental factors such as lighting and the background. Translating knowledge from other academic disciplines and sectors, I provided recommendations for prioritizing further research, policy and program development to address social dimensions of this rapidly evolving challenge for the conservation of migratory birds.
Microsatellite instability in noncolorectal and nonendometrial malignancies in patients with Lynch syndrome

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background Individuals with Lynch syndrome are at increased hereditary risk of colorectal and endometrial carcinomas with microsatellite instability (MSI-H) and mismatch repair-deficiency (dMMR), which make these tumors vulnerable to therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Our aim is to assess how often other tumor types in these individuals share these characteristics. Methods We retrieved the full tumor history of a historical clinic-based cohort of 1745 individuals with Lynch syndrome and calculated the standardized incidence ratio for all tumor types. MSI status, somatic second hit alterations, and immunohistochemistry-based MMR status were analyzed in 236 noncolorectal and nonendometrial malignant tumors. Results In individuals with Lynch syndrome MSI-H/dMMR occurred both in Lynch-spectrum and in non–Lynch-spectrum malignancies (85% vs 37%, P &lt; .01). MSI-H/dMMR malignancies were found in nearly all non–Lynch-spectrum tumor types. A high percentage (33%) of breast carcinomas with medullary features was observed, and most of them were MSI-H/dMMR. Breast carcinoma with medullary features were shown to be associated with Lynch syndrome (standardized incidence ratio = 38.8, 95% confidence interval = 16.7 to 76.5). Conclusions In individuals with Lynch syndrome, MSI-H/dMMR occurs in more than one-half of the malignancies other than colorectal and endometrial carcinomas, including tumor types without increased incidence. The Lynch-spectrum tumors should be expanded to breast carcinomas with medullary features. All malignancies in patients with Lynch syndrome, independent of subtype, should be tested for MSI-H/dMMR in case therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors is considered. Moreover, Lynch syndrome should be considered an underlying cause of all MSI-H/dMMR malignancies other than colorectal and endometrial carcinomas.
Delineation of Urban Growth Boundary Based on Habitat Quality and Carbon Storage: A Case Study of Weiyuan County in Gansu, China

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

As the impacts of climate change worsen, the global community prioritizes addressing it and fostering low-carbon societies. Urban planning focuses on creating compact, smart-growth cities that prioritize low-carbon, green development, with resource and environmental capacities as hard constraints. Balancing urban development, environmental protection, and accurate urban boundary delineation is vital for stable growth. In this study, the ecosystem services of Weiyuan County, Gansu Province, were assessed using the InVEST model’s habitat quality and carbon storage modules. Key ecological protection areas with high biodiversity and carbon storage were identified. The CA-Markov model simulated urban expansion, dynamically coordinating ecological and urban development. Weiyuan County’s habitat quality was mainly intermediate. In the county’s central area, construction land coverage was 0.29 km2 in the priority protection zone and 0.49 km2 in the controlled development zone. Urban development boundaries in Weiyuan County were delineated based on ecosystem function rating and CA-Markov delineation. This method enhances urban management in ecologically fragile areas, promoting sustainable development and providing a reference for eco-economic sustainability in other fragile Chinese cities.
