Studies on genetic variability parameters for seed yield and its component traits in mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] germplasm under arid environment

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Genetic variability is the most important factor for the success of any crop improvement program. Hence, the evaluation of germplasm has to be conducted as a preliminary step to study the extent of variability available in the germplasm and to identify suitable high-yielding genotypes that can be utilized in the crop improvement program. The present investigation was carried out to estimate genetic variability, heritability, and genetic advance for yield and yield contributing characters among seventy-nine diverse genotypes of mungbean for eleven quantitative traits. Significant differences were observed among genotypes for all eleven characters studied. The high degree of genetic variability along with high heritability and high genetic advance as percent of mean were recorded for seed yield per plant, number of pods per plant, harvest index, biological yield per plant, and plant height; which indicates that these characteristics were under the control of additive gene action and therefore, form the basis of selection for the mungbean improvement program.
The value of flexibility - A real option approach to capital budgeting

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

This paper discusses different approaches to the capital investment process. The main focus is on investigating the practical aspects when applying real option theory to capital budgeting. We apply an extended framework introduced by Timothy A. Luehrman (1997) to a case study for Gothenburg Energy AB. The project is evaluated based on different assumptions in three separate scenarios. The results form each scenario are discussed in context of the applicability of the real options approach to the investment decision. Further, the robustness of the results to different assumptions about the evolation of the project value is examined.
India’s trade potential and export opportunities for spices

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Economic growth and development of a country rely on trade as it serves as a driving force with efficient utilization of factor of endowments. Several commodities are traded world-wide, among them spices which has a long history of being one of the highly traded commodity. Developing countries including India are the leading producer and exporter of spices in the world. The demand for Indian spices has gone up in the United States of America, Vietnam, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, etc. The study assess the comparative advantage of major spices exporting countries for pepper, cardamom and turmeric-based on data available in International Trade Centre. To analyse the effect of trade liberalisation, a simulation model (SMART) developed by UNCTAD was used to estimate trade creation, diversion and revenue effect on importing and exporting countries. The result shows that India has a comparative advantage in the export of Turmeric, Guatemala in Cardamom and Vietnam in Pepper. The impact of tariff relief on India has greater advantage, which has trade creation in the export of cardamom and turmeric. Whereas in pepper, comparatively, trade diversion is higher than trade creation, indicating that less efficient countries are given a chance to export to the top importing countries due to a reduction in tariff. Indian spice exporters should focus on promoting or exporting spices to countries like Netherlands, United States, United Kingdom, and Germany.
Dataset on optimization and development of a point-of-care glucometer-based SARS-CoV2 detection assay by using aptamers

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The paper presents the Supplementary Data of the published research work entitled “Hitting the diagnostic sweet spot: Point-of-care SARS-CoV-2 salivary antigen testing with an off-the-shelf glucometer” (Singh et al., 2021, Biosensor and Bioelectronics) . The assay is designed to be performed at home or a healthcare center without the requirements of expensive instruments or operational training. The virus is detected by an aptamer-based assay that specifically targets SARS CoV-2 Nucleocapsid (N) or Spike (S) proteins. The binding of N or S proteins by their respective aptamers results in the competitive release of a complementary antisense-invertase enzyme complex from the aptamers. The released enzyme then catalyzes the conversion of sucrose to glucose that is measured by a glucometer. The data presented here describe the optimization of the assay parameters and their contribution in the development of the aptamer-based assay for the detection of SARS CoV-2. The assay performance was checked in standard buffer, contrived, and real patient samples, and validated with well-established scientific methods. The resulting dataset can be used to further develop the glucometer-based point-of-care system for diagnosing other communicable and non-communicable diseases
Morphological creativity in a China English corpus

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

With increasing numbers of international students from China at American universities, China English has become a matter of great interest and concern for educators. Recent studies have delineated characteristics of its grammatical features and lexical usage, but its processes of word derivation have been neglected. This study is based upon the analysis of a corpus consisting of the entrance-examination essays of Chinese international students. It shows that these students, though producing words that seem to deviations from standard forms, are actually using productive morphological-derivation processes and relying on sophisticated concepts such as analogy and parallelism, tendencies which should be encouraged in second-language learners rather than simply corrected.
DMND: Collecting data from mobiles using Named Data

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Technology advances in both computations and wireless communications have made it economically feasible for manufacturers to collect data from all the cars in order to monitor their operations and detect any potential problems. However to make this a reality requires a new architecture that can effectively handle vehicle mobility, intermittent connectivity, and data security, as well as scale to large number of vehicles. In this paper we address these design challenges by exploring the direction of Named Date Networking (NDN) (aka CCN 1 ). We evaluated our design, dubbed DMND, through simulations in Qualnet. Our results show that, when data publishers (vehicles) are stationary, more than 99% of collection requests can successfully pull data packets back; even when vehicles move at a high speed of 40-50 meters per second (89.48-111.8 miles/hour), DMND can still retain its high efficiency of 97% of data replies. In contrast, under the same simulation experimental setting, the request-reply ratio of MobileIP drops from 97.9% for static publishers to 9.6% when publishers are moving at a speed of 10-20 meters/second (22.37-44.74 miles/hour).
Terminal Syme Amputation of the Great Toe in the Pediatric Population

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: In the pediatric population, chronic ingrown toenails (onychocryptosis) can cause infection (paronychia), debilitating pain, and may be unresponsive to conservative treatments. Following multiple failed interventions, a terminal Syme amputation is one option for definitive treatment of chronic onychocryptosis. This procedure involves amputation of the distal aspect of the distal phalanx of the great toe with complete removal of the nail bed and germinal center, preventing further nail growth and recurrence. Methods: A retrospective review was performed to determine outcomes of a terminal Syme amputation in the pediatric population. Inclusion criteria included treatment of onychocryptosis involving terminal Syme amputation with a minimum follow-up of 1 year. The medical record was reviewed to assess previous failed treatment efforts, perioperative complications, radiographic outcomes, and the need for additional procedures. Results: From 1984 to 2017, 11 patients (13 halluces) with onychocryptosis were treated with a terminal Syme amputation. There were no intraoperative complications. One hallux had a postoperative infection requiring antibiotics as well as partial nail regrowth following the terminal Syme procedure that required subsequent removal of the residual nail. Following partial nail ablation, the patient had no further nail growth. An additional patient also developed a postoperative infection requiring oral antibiotic treatment. All patients returned to full weight-bearing physical activities within 6 weeks of surgery. Conclusions: Terminal Syme amputation was successful in treating pediatric patients who have recalcitrant onychocryptosis and paronychia. There was little functional consequence following terminal Syme amputation of the great toe in this patient population, making it an effective salvage procedure. Level of Evidence: Level IV—retrospective comparative study.

Evaluation of the amount of dry matter remobilization from stem to grain and their contribution to yield of different cultivars and lines of bread wheat in Ardabil

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

In order to study of the amount of dry matter photosyntetical materials remobilization from stem to grain and their contribution to yield of different cultivars and lines of bread wheat in Ardabil, was done an experiment in randomized complete block design with three replications with ten cultivars (Includes: Uroom, Zare, MV-Magdalena, Soissons, MV-Toborzo, Mihan, Pishgam, FD-11111 and FD-12073) in Research Station of Agriculture and Natural Resources of Ardabil in 2015-2016.The results showed that, in this experiment, analysis of variance were significant for all traits. FD-11111 line has the highest grain yield per square meter, the highest percentage (38.437%) of dry matter remobilization efficiency, the highest share in the filling and grain growth (7417.9 grams per square meter).The MV-bodri variety has the highest biological yield per square meter, the highest percentage of share the transfer process dry matter from stem (9.337%) in the yield and maximum transfer of dry matter from stem to the grain. The MV-Magdalena variety also has the lowest biological yield and highest harvest index. So generally it was observed that the greatest transfer of dry matter to the grain is done from shoot and FD-11111 line between the studied genotypes, was the best lines.
Interface between the facial nerve and large acoustic neurinomas

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

~- In acoustic neurinoma surgery, the surgeon is required to find a cleavage plane between the facial nerve and the tumor, and with the aid of the operating microscope this is usually achieved by fine dissection. A histological specimen of the nerve-tumor interface is available only if the facial nerve was hopelessly adherent to the tumor (usually a large or giant neoplasm) and the surgeon decided to sever the nerve to obtain a complete removal. The authors have examined immunohistochemieally the nerve-tumor interface of 20 such facial nerves (six cases of neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2) and 14 of non-NF2) in a series of 351 acoustic neurinemas. The largest extramcatal dimension of the 20 tumors ranged from 20 to 51 mm (median 39 ram). In all of these 20 instances the nerve-tumor contact area was at least partially devoid of a clear-cut histological cleavage plane. Where the facial nerve trunk was attached to the surface of the tumor, nerve fibers of the contact areas either abutted directly against tumor cells or nerve fibers were seen to penetrate into the tumor tissue. Frank embedding of nerve fibers was more frequent in NF2.
Material search in the age of AI applying microfabrication

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, it is reviewed that combinatorial technologies for the fabrication and characterization of a large number of samples at once, the use of MEMS and other microfabrication technologies for the characterization of the samples, and our efforts to use machine learning to analyze and improve the search efficiency of the large number of sample data obtained by the combinatorial technologies. We introduce combinatorial arc plasma deposition, which enables the combinatorial deposition of amorphous alloy materials. The composition-graded films fabricated by this method are separated and labeled into thin-film libraries by using microfabrication methods, and their properties are evaluated using MEMS structures. As an example of material search with the aid of machine learning, we describe the identification of physical properties with high contribution to the current density of electrocatalysts by random forest analysis, the examination of search termination conditions by Bayesian optimization, and the estimation of crystal grain size of magnetic materials from Barkhausen noise by machine learning.
Thorium fuels for light water reactors - steps towards commercialization

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

Thorium-containing nuclear fuel is proposed as a means of gaining a number of benefits in the operation of light water reactors, some related to the nuclear properties of thorium and some related to the material properties of thorium dioxide. This thesis aims to investigate some of these benefits and to widen the knowledge base on thorium fuel behaviour, in order to pave the way for its commercial use.

Part of the work is dedicated to finding ways of utilizing thorium in currently operating light water reactors which are beneficial to the reactor operator from a neutronic point of view. The effects of adding different fissile components to the fertile thorium matrix are compared, and the neutronic properties of the preferred alternative (plutonium) are more closely investigated. The possibility to use thorium as a minor component in conventional uranium dioxide fuel is also subject to study.

Another part of the work is related to the thermal mechanical behaviour of thorium containing nuclear fuel under irradiation. To assess this behaviour, an irradiation experiment has been designed and is ongoing in the Halden research reactor. Existing software for prediction of thermal-mechanical fuel behaviour has been modified for application to mixed thorium and plutonium oxide fuel, and the preliminary simulation output is compared with irradiation data.

The conclusion of the research conducted for this thesis is that the adoption of thorium containing fuel in light water reactors is indeed technically feasible and could also be
attractive to reactor operators in a number of different aspects. Some steps have been taken towards a more complete knowledge of the behaviour of such fuel and therewith towards its commercial use.

Dual-Tasking as Diagnostic and Rehabilitation Tool in Traumatic Brain Injury Patients

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective: Purpose of this study was to investigate the behavioral and brain activity impairments in patients after moderate traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in comparison with the normal ranges while dual-tasks performing. We would like to evaluate dual-tasking as diagnostic and rehabilitation tool and to test hypothesis of brain aging after mTBI. Material and Methods: Electroencephalographic (EEG), stabilographic and clinical study was performed in 11 patients (mean age 28.8 ± 8.4 years) for up to 1 - 12 months after a mTBI in comparison with 17 healthy subjects (26.7 ± 5.1 years). All the participants performed two motor and two cognitive tasks presented separately, and simultaneously (dual-tasking). Results: Clinical examination revealed predominantly cognitive deficit in mTBI patients with intact postural control. EEG data demonstrated coherence decrease for slow (delta-theta) rhythms in frontal-temporal areas predominantly for left hemisphere during cognitive tasks performance. In contrast, EEG coherence for slow spectral bands increased in the same areas in healthy volunteers. EEG coherence increased for fast spectral bands—alpha2 and beta, predominantly in right hemisphere while both healthy adults and patients performed motor components of dual tasks. Rehabilitation course with dual tasks, led to a predominant reduction in cognitive deficits, and EEG coherence increases at the frontal-temporal areas of the left hemisphere. Conclusions: Dual-tasks may be used as diagnostic tool in patients after mTBI. This approach demonstrates predominant cognitive deficit, and left hemispheric dysfunction in patients similar to elderly persons and support the hypothesis of brain aging after TBI. Pilot studies also suggested rehabilitation effect of dual-tasking in mTBI patients.
Determinants of users' intention to purchase legal video streaming services: a comparative study between Thai and American consumers

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The purpose of this study is to identify the significant factors influencing the intention of consumers from Thailand and the United States of America to purchase legal video streaming services. This quantitative study used the theory of planned behavior, as well as convenience sampling, to investigate consumers’ intention to purchase streaming services based on behavior; the responses were gathered from 400 respondents (200 respondents from Thailand and 200 respondents from the U.S.). Independent variables presumed to affect intention to purchase are product/service attributes, attitude towards behavior, moral judgment, subjective norms, and perceived behavior control. Descriptive analysis, reliability analysis, and stepwise multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the respondents’ data. The results show that perceived behavior control affects the purchasing intent of both Thai and American consumers; however, moral judgment affects the purchasing intent of Thai consumers more significantly, while attitude towards behavior has a greater effect on the purchasing intent of American consumers.

Philosophy of childhood: from imaginary representations to scientific discourse

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The author in the article examines current problems in the study of childhood, which are closely related to determining the ways of forming the meanings of this phenomenon in history and culture. It is suggested that scientific approaches that proceed from pre-established knowledge about the phenomenon of childhood and reduce it to identifying a number of criteria and characteristics that allow a clear demarcation between children and adults are incorrect. The search for new methodologies for studying childhood in the context of interdisciplinary synthesis and philosophical phenomenological and hermeneutic perspectives for its consideration, focused on an essential and meaningful understanding of this phenomenon, and the formation of an integrative idea of it, is being updated.
CONGENITAL MIDDLE EAR CHOLESTEATOMA

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Forty-three patients with congenital middle ear cholesteatoma have been described since the first case in 1953. In these patients ten cholesteatomas were confined to the anterior mesotympanum in young children who had no ossicular damage. Involvement of the posterior mesotympanum (8 ears), meso and epitympanum (21 ears), and antrum and middle ear (7 ears) was associated with an 81% incidence of ossicular erosion in addition to other abnormalities. Anterior mesotympanic cholesteatomas were readily identified by the appearance of a white mass behind a translucent drum. The other congenital cholesteatomas had a more varied appearance with a mass and a whitish appearance each noted in about half. In almost half there was a bulging of the TM. Two new cases are reported: a 4-year-old with an extensive epi and mesotympanic cholesteatoma initially misdiagnosed as non-suppurative otitis media and a 23-year-old with the third reported case of bilateral congenital cholesteatoma.
