Root system architecture of maize : evaluation of the root architecture of maize employing two image analysis methods

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Wurzelsysteme sind für eine erhöhte Trockenheitstoleranz von Pflanzen unerlässlich, insbesondere in ariden Gebieten, in denen die künstliche Bewässerung keine nachhaltige Option ist. Optimierte Erträge hängen von den Wurzelsystemmerkmalen und Bodenmanagementtechniken ab. Es ist wichtig, Pflanzen mit Genotypen zu wählen, die zu der landwirtschaftlichen Nutzfläche und dem Klima passen. Weiter ist es wichtig zu verstehen, wie extrinsische Stimuli die Bildung der Wurzelsysteme beeinflussen. In dieser Arbeit wird ein Setup zum Extrahieren von Parametern aus 2D-Fotographien durch Nachzeichnen von Fotografien (Methode C) getestet und mit anderen Methoden zum Erfassen von Informationen zur Wurzelmorphologie verglichen. Es wurden drei Kombinationen von Bildgebungsprogrammen und -medien verglichen: mit einem Flachbettscanner gescannt und mit der Bildbearbeitungssoftware RSA verarbeitet(Methode A), gescannte Software mit der Software WinRHIZO verarbeitet (Methode B) und Fotos in denen mittels Bildbearbeitungsprogrammen die Wurzeln nachgezeichnet und mit Root System Analyzer verarbeitet wurden (Methode C). Die verglichenen Parameter sind die für die Trockenresistenz relevantesten Wurzelparameter: Durchmesser, Oberfläche und Länge der Wurzeln. Der Verzweigungswinkel wurde untersucht, da sie eine häufige Fehlerquelle beim Projizieren von 2D-Bildern auf 3D darstellen. Die gewählte Software (RSA oder WinRHIZO) beeinflusste die untersuchten Wurzelparameter. Der Einfluss des Mediums (Scan, Zeichnung, nachgezeichnetes Foto) war höher. Der Wurzeldurchmesser zeigte die höchste Varianz zwischen den verschiedenen Methoden - bis zu einem Faktor von drei. Oberfläche und Verzweigungswinkel waren hingegen gut angenähert.
Legionella pneumophila Replication Vacuole Formation Involves Rapid Recruitment of Proteins of the Early Secretory System

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

ABSTRACT Legionella pneumophila vacuole biogenesis was analyzed by using a cell-free system. We show that calnexin, Sec22b, and Rab1 are recruited to the vacuole very shortly after bacterial uptake, and we have identified Rab1 as a potential host factor involved in the endoplasmic reticulum recruitment process.

graphic deterioration, in the patient and others affected by aerosols of contaminated water in other factories2 3 no radiographic changes were evident after several years' exposure, and no functional abnormalities persisted when away from work.Furthermore, the symptoms were prominent in the early part of the week, improving while continuing at work, but recurring on return to work after an absence.This pattern is similar to the "Monday fever" of byssinosis, but differs so far as we know in the site of reaction, being predominantly bronchial in byssinosis and peripheral in "humidifier fever."The source of the antigens was identified in this case but the precise causal agent was not, and it may, as Edwards suggested, be derived from free-living amoebae.4Awareness of this unusual pattern of reaction should allow earlier identification of its cause, although confirmation may be obtained only by systematic observations at work or by inhalation testing.

Obraz Lenina v massovom vospriatii sovetskikh liudei po arkhivnym materialam (review)

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

During most of the Soviet era, the Lenin cult ran in the background of daily life almost as unobtrusively as a computer operating system, imposing meaning on the myriad events, developments, discoveries, and decisions that constituted the Soviet historical experience. The cult arose amidst the ambiguities of the NEP, permeated the crisis of legitimacy and struggle for power after Lenin's death, dimmed as Stalin used it to confirm his own cult, revived after his demise, and persisted throughout the Brezhnev era. Even the fall of communism has not yet dislodged Lenin from his moldering mausoleum. Ol´ga Velikanova is well suited to tell the story of this cult. She grew up in and around the Lenin Museum of St. Petersburg, where her mother was the assistant director. She became a guide and researcher at the Museum of the Revolution in Petersburg. She is currently a fellow at St. Petersburg State University and at the Centre for Russian and East European Studies at the University of Toronto. Her first book, Making of an Idol: On Uses of Lenin, appeared in Germany in 1996. 1 The fact that her second book on the subject is also published abroad suggests that some of Lenin's post-Soviet countrymen have not yet reached a level of comfort regarding him sufficient to allow them to examine the cult and its implications for their own experience.
Research on the Development of Green SupplyChain Finance Empowered by Blockchain:A Three-party Evolutionary Game AnalysisBased on the Cost Perspective

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

The problem of high costs caused by information asymmetry has limited the development of green supply chain finance.Blockchain, with its unique technical characteristics, has the potential for innovative breakthroughs in financing costs.Starting from the cost perspective, we sort out the operation mode of green supply chain finance empowered by blockchain, analyze the strategic behaviors of green small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), core enterprises, and financial institutions, construct a three-party evolutionary game model of green supply chain finance empowered by blockchain, solve the model and discuss the equilibrium of the game, and further simulate and analyze the game by using MATLAB.It is found that the higher the proportion of initial positive strategies of the three parties involved in the game, the higher the probability that the game system will evolve to the Pareto optimal state.Blockchain empowerment makes the financing cost of green SMEs and the evaluation and supervision cost of core enterprises and financial institutions greatly reduced.The cost reduction can prompt the evolution direction of the game system from the Pareto worst state to the Pareto optimal state, and with the increasing cost reduction, the rate of convergence of the game subject to the Pareto optimal stable state increases.The improvement of the autonomous repayment rate of green SMEs has a better role in promoting the credit business and the stable development of green supply chain finance.
Childhood Intussusception: Management Perspectives in 1995

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

To the Editor: The editorial written by W. E. Shiels II (1) dealing with the recent development of the management of childhood intussusception may be regarded as a state-of-the-art article. However, we believe it is an incomplete discussion of the available methods, because it does not include consideration of a procedure that we have been using successfully for several years, which has been published (2,3). Briefly, a fluid enema (pressure-controlled, maximum pressure 100 mm Hg) pushes the intussusceptum backward, while the intussusception as well as the fluid column in the colon are visualized by real-time ultrasonography. The movement of the intussusceptum can be easily followed and the final reduction is proved by demonstration of the free valve of Bauhin. In general, the procedure is performed with slight sedation of the child and with an inserted intravenous line, which is later used to deliver fluid and minerals during the following 12-24-h fasting period. A second abdominal ultrasonogram and normal clinical findings after refeeding ensure the effective reduction and exclude recurrence of the intussusception. Our method is comparable to the fluoroscopically guided air-reduction technique concerning the application of pressure to force the intussusceptum backward, but is different in visualization of the reduction procedure. Using ultrasonography, we can avoid the exposure of the child to x-rays, which is a highly desirable advantage of this method. Since 1992, 72 children have been treated with the ultrasound-guided hydrostatic reduction method, with an overall success rate of ≈90%. This is quite comparable to that achieved by the pneumatic reduction technique under fluoroscopic control. However, iatrogenic perforation remains a possible complication, and increases in pressure should be handled carefully. The described method requires a team including a primary pediatric care provider, a pediatric surgeon, and an experienced pediatric radiologist to perform the procedure. Radiographic facilities have to be available for patients in whom clinical or sonographic signs indicate bowel perforation. We strongly believe that our method has to be weighed against other procedures and that this concept should be regarded as an alternative to treat intussusception in childhood. W. K.

Analysis of Coupled Electromagnetic–Thermal Effects in Scanning-Magnet for SESRI

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

High frequency and magnetic rigidity are the requirement of accelerators for scanning magnets. The scanning magnets for the SESRI (the Space Environment Simulation and Research Infrastructure) project are excited by triangular currents with a maximum repetition frequency of 200 Hz. It is inevitable to produce eddy currents inside the iron yoke, especially at the pole end. The temperature rise will be caused by eddy current loss, damaging the insulation layer in coils and adhesive resin in the core. To ensure the successful design and long working life for the scanning magnet, it is essential to optimize the eddy-current losses and temperature rise. This paper provides the optimization method for the scanning magnet, describes the analysis method of eddy-current loss induced temperature rise in detail, and then the distribution of the eddy current and temperature on the yoke is calculated by the software of OPERA-ELEKTRA/TR. Meanwhile, the temperatures at some critical points of the scanning magnet were measured. The computed results verified the feasibility of the electromagnetic-thermal coupling analysis method, which agreed well with the experimental data.
Essays on the economics of shared fishery resources

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

National jurisdiction over the fishery resources within the Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) can be seen as an opportunity to overcome the problem of open access within the EEZs, but not on the high seas. Traditionally, it has been everybody's right to exploit the resources there. This right is now possibly under threat, cf. the UN Fish Stocks Agreement; however, it is still very much a juridical twilight zone. On the high seas, to some degree at least, open access is still the rule rather than the exception. Moreover, agreements between nations have to be based on voluntary cooperation, because there is no mechanism forcing nations to agree to something that would not be in their own interests. Therefore, this work is to a large degree about the possibility of overcoming the problem of open access through voluntary agreements.\nThe questions analysed in the thesis covers several topics relevant to the fisheries economics literature. First, exploitation of internationally shared fish stocks is considered under different assumptions about the regulatory regime, coalition formation, climatic conditions etc. In this part of the thesis, bioeconomic modelling and game theory are fundamental tools. Second, the production structure and capacity utilisation in a segment of a fishing fleet is analysed by means of duality theory and econometric methods. The span in topics and methods are perhaps large, but the topics have at least one important common feature; they are all related to the management of internationally shared fish stocks and the consequences of strategic behaviour. The aim of the thesis is thus to contribute to the understanding of the economic management of shared fishery resources.
Integration of Methodologies for the Evaluation of Offer Curves in Energy and Capacity Markets through Energy Efficiency and Demand Response

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

The objectives of improving the efficiency, and integration, of renewable sources by 2030–2050 are complex in practice and should be linked to an increase of demand-side flexibility. The main challenges to achieving this flexibility are the lack of incentives and an adequate framework. For instance, customers’ revenue is usually low, the volatility of prices is high and there is not any practical feedback to customers from smart meters. The possibility of increasing customer revenue could reduce the uncertainty with respect to economic concerns, improving investments in efficiency, enabling technology and thus, engaging more customers in these policies. This objective could be achieved by the participation of customers in several markets. Moreover, Demand Response and Energy Efficiency can share ICT technologies but this participation needs to perform an aggregation of demand. The idea of this paper is to present some methodologies for facilitating the definition and evaluation of energy versus cost curves; and subsequently to estimate potential revenues due to Demand Response. This can be accomplished by models that estimate: demand and energy aggregation; economic opportunities and benefits; impacts on customer convenience; customer feedback and price analysis. By doing so, we would have comprehensive information that can help customers and aggregators to define energy packages and their monetary value with the objective of fostering their market participation.

EKSISTENSI NASAKH DALAM IMPLEMENTASI ELASTISITAS HUKUM ISLAM

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In a view of Muslim scholars, naskh (abrogation) is one of the metods in undertaking ta`ârudh al-Adillah. Nevertheles, there are disputes on meaning and existence of naskh in the Qur’an and Hadis and the influence in applying istinbath al-hukm (deducing Islamic law) among them. The present paper is aimed at describing the function of naskh as one of the elsaticity elements in the Islamic law. In developing islamic law, to appear the elasticity, the real meaning of naskh is to abrogate a law from a side to another one. Naskh, on the other hand, also stands for tentative abrogation and it can be applied recently in other way based on apropriate situation, condition, and motivation
Genomic Analysis of an AttenuatedChlamydia abortusLive Vaccine Strain Reveals Defects in Central Metabolism and Surface Proteins

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

ABSTRACT Comparative genomic analysis of a wild-type strain of the ovine pathogen Chlamydia abortus and its nitrosoguanidine-induced, temperature-sensitive, virulence-attenuated live vaccine derivative identified 22 single nucleotide polymorphisms unique to the mutant, including nine nonsynonymous mutations, one leading to a truncation of pmpG , which encodes a polymorphic membrane protein, and two intergenic mutations potentially affecting promoter sequences. Other nonsynonymous mutations mapped to a pmpG pseudogene and to predicted coding sequences encoding a putative lipoprotein, a sigma-54-dependent response regulator, a PhoH-like protein, a putative export protein, two tRNA synthetases, and a putative serine hydroxymethyltransferase. One of the intergenic mutations putatively affects transcription of two divergent genes encoding pyruvate kinase and a putative SOS response nuclease, respectively. These observations suggest that the temperature-sensitive phenotype and associated virulence attenuation of the vaccine strain result from disrupted metabolic activity due to altered pyruvate kinase expression and/or alteration in the function of one or more membrane proteins, most notably PmpG and a putative lipoprotein.
Asexual-Identified People’s Interactions with Health Care Practitioners

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

People who identify as asexual use this label because, rather than a sexual orientation like “heterosexual,” “homosexual”, or “bisexual,” which labels attraction by gender, they experience a lack of sexual attraction. Previous psychological research on the topic asexuality is limited, but one conclusion agreed upon by several studies is that people who identify as asexual differ from those diagnosed with hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in several ways, the most notable of which is that asexual people were shown typically to have little or no distress related to their lack of sexual desire, whereas distress is a key part of the diagnosis of HSDD. The question of this research is whether those findings are reflected accurately in the practice of real-world health professionals, or whether health professionals consider asexuality to be related to mental or physical health problems. This is achieved by surveying individuals who self-identify as asexual about their experiences with healthcare practitioners. We expect to find that in at least some cases, asexual people who did reveal their sexual identities to health professionals would encounter negative reactions from the practitioners, due to pathologizing attitudes still present in the medical establishment toward asexuality.

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Word Study approach on the development of spelling performance of Grade Five female students in the Sultanate of Oman. The sample of the study consisted of 66 grade five female students from a Governmental Basic Education school in South Al Batinah Governorate. They were divided into two groups: an experimental group who studied spelling using Word Study approach and a control group who studied spelling using the traditional basal approach. The results showed a statistically significant difference between the two groups in favor of the experimental group. The study puts forward some recommendations for future research and for teaching.
Replication data for: Assessment of the efficacy of prophylactic health products on water quality and shrimp (Penaeus monodon) performance at the nursery phase

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The aim was to assess the efficacy of prophylactic health products (PHPs) on shrimp (Penaeus monodon) post larvae (PL) during the nursery phase. This included five treatments: in-feed probiotic (F_PRO), water probiotic (W_PRO), a combination of water and in-feed probiotic (FW_SYN), biofloc, a combination of biofloc and in-feed probiotic (F_PRO& biofloc), and a no treatment control, five replicates each. Each tank was filled with 450 liter water and stocked with 700 PL15, weight 0.008±0.00 g at a density of 1.56 PL/L, reared for 27 days. There were no significant differences in water temperature, dissolved oxygen, alkalinity, and total ammonia nitrogen among treatments and control. pH and nitrite were lower in biofloc and F_PRO&biofloc compared to other treatments. The final body weight, weight gain, specific growth rate and food coversion ratio were significantly higher (p ≤ 0.05) in F_PRO& biofloc compared to other treatments and control. A salinity stress test showed a siginificantly higher survival rate in F_PRO& biofloc followed by biofloc than other treatments and control. Our study indicated that rearing shrimp in biofloc alone or combined with in-feed probiotic might increase growth and resistance to environmental stressors. Further on-farm trials are required to confirm the efficacy of the PHPs.

Meningkatkan Keterampilan Berpikir Kritis dengan Model PBL Fase D Kelas IX SMP Negeri Linggang Mapan

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This study aims to improve the critical thinking skills of ninth-grade students at SMP Negeri 4 Linggang Mapan through the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model in the topic Living in Harmony with Nature. Critical thinking skills are essential in education, especially for developing abilities in analysis, evaluation, and problem-solving. The research method used is Classroom Action Research (CAR), conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consists of the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects of this study were ninth-grade students in Phase D, with data collection techniques including observation, tests, and interviews. The results of the study show that the implementation of the PBL model significantly improved students’ critical thinking skills. This is evidenced by an increase in the average score of critical thinking tests from Cycle I to Cycle II, as well as an increase in students' active participation in discussions and problem-solving activities. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the PBL model is effective in enhancing students’ critical thinking skills. Therefore, it is recommended that educators adopt the PBL model as an alternative teaching approach, particularly for topics that require higher-order thinking skills.
