Weed Control using Pre-emergence Herbicide Strip Application System Along with Sowing/Planting Devices

A 6-row pre-emergence herbicide strip-application system was designed and developed at ICAR-CIAE, Bhopal as an attachment to inclined-plate planter to apply herbicide at the time of sowing in widely spaced crops to control weeds along the crop rows, often not possible in mechanical weeding. It consisted of a frame on which 6 flat fan spray nozzles were mounted by means of clamps, a single action piston pump with 9 l/min capacity, pressure regulator valve and pressure gauge and pressure pipes. The spacing between the spray nozzles, angle and height of spray nozzles can be varied by adjusting the clamps. The developed system has ability of strip as well as blanket application of herbicide. The same machine can be used as post-emergence herbicide/pesticide applicator after the removal of furrow openers and increasing the height of nozzles from the ground. The machine was tested and evaluated during Kharif season for soybean and pigeon pea crops. The field capacity of the developed system was found to be 0.4 ha/h. The operating cost of the pre-emergence herbicide applicator with inclined plate planter was worked out as Rs 1350/- per ha. It can save about 40-50% herbicide.

Professional environmental stress among dental and engineering students in Bhilai, Chhattisgarh, Central India: A comparative cross-sectional study

Background: Students undertaking professional courses such as medical, dental, and engineering are subjected to higher stress resulting in psychological problems such as depression and anxiety. This may be attributed to various factors such as academic, social events, health-related, and personal issues. Aim: This study aims to assess and compare professional environmental stress between dental and engineering students in Bhilai, Chhattisgarh. Methodology: A Modified Dental Environmental Stress Survey Questionnaire comprising 24 questions was pretested and administered among 316 students (115 dental and 201 engineering) to compare the professional environmental stress across stressor domains such as academic performance, faculty relations, personal issues, and professional identity. Descriptive statistics and independent sample t-test were applied using IBM Corporation SPSS version 23 program (New York, USA). P ≤ 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: Final year dental students reported higher stress than third year students with mean scores 34.91 ± 4.55 and 32.34 ± 5.36, respectively (P < 0.01). Final year engineering students experienced higher stress than third year students with mean scores 31.84 ± 4.29 and 29.86 ± 4.14, respectively (P < 0.01). Dental students reported higher stress than engineering students with mean scores 33.66 ± 5.10 and 30.78 ± 4.31, respectively (P < 0.01). Conclusion: This study gives the glimpse of factors creating stressful environment among the two science fields, the elimination of which will result in higher productivity and student-friendly environment for higher studies. The results were indicating that the intervention is necessary for psychological well-being of the students. Henceforth effective means of reducing stress should be explored together with determining emphatic methods of coping with the tensions.

Managing Market Risk for an Emerging Market Debt Portfolio

Investors in the emerging debt market are exposed to a number of different types of risk, most importantly market risk. This article introduces a risk metric called beta spread duration (BSD), which is designed to measure aggregate market risk. BSD builds on two well–known metrics, beta and spread duration, and applies them to the emerging debt market. The authors demonstrate that BSD is a statistically significant measure of overall market risk and identify its limitations. They show that while market risk explains the majority of spread changes, individual country risk still matters. Indeed, they show that large changes in country risk can dominate overall market risk over shorter time frames while also exhibiting statistical significance over longer periods.

The digestibility value of local chicken rations fed with feed containing fermented catfish waste

The study aims to determine the effect of fermented patin fish waste (FPFW) by microbes Lactobacillus paracasei, Bacillus subtilis, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (LBS) in rations on the digestibility of dry matter and crude protein, as well as obtain the level of use that produces the best digestibility of dry matter and protein in local chickens. The study used SNC(SNC) aged 14 weeks, as many as 24 tails, kept for 14 days. The experimental design was randomized, with six treatments and four repeats. Ration treatment is R0 (Lower control ration, protein 15% and EM 2750 kcal/kg, without the use of FPFW); R1 (R0 contains 5% FPFW ); R2 (R0 contains 10% FPFW); R3 (R0 contains 15% FPFW); R4 (R0 contains 20% FPFW); and RS (Upper control ration, protein 18% and EM 2750 kcal/kg, without use of FPFW). The results showed that the use of FPFW by LBS microbes had a significant effect (P&lt;0.05) on the digestibility of dry matter and ration protein. Using 10% FPFW in the ration formula provides the best digestibility value of dry matter and crude protein of the ration on SNC.

Communicable Diseases of Children

The communicable diseases of childhood are a source of significant disruption for the family and a particular challenge to the family physician. Although most of these illnesses are self-limited and without significant sequelae, the socioeconomic impact due to time lost from school (and work), costs of medical visits and remedies, and parental anxiety are enormous. Distressed parents must be treated with sensitivity, patience, and respect for their judgment, as they have often agonized for hours prior to calling the physician. They are usually greatly reassured when given a specific diagnosis and an explanation of the natural history of even the most minor syndrome.

Multimodal imaging for the clinical assessment of dermatomyositis and polymyositis: A systematic review

Dermatomyositis (DM) and polymyositis (PM) are two common autoimmune myopathies. In the past, the diagnosis criteria of DM/PM depended primarily on clinical features, blood enzyme levels, electromyogram and muscle biopsies. However, there still are some imperfections of the diagnosis criteria of DM/PM. Multimodal imaging as multidisciplinary approach has been proven to be valuable in evaluating patients with DM/PM. It is can not only identify the lesions distribution, evaluate muscle atrophy and fatty replacement, but also provide more information of muscle biochemical changes, myofibrillar structure and blood supply. In recent years, multimodal imaging has provided new insights into pathogenesis, diagnosis, therapeutic evaluation and progression of DM/PM.

Measuring Fitness and Precision of Automatically Discovered Process Models: A Principled and Scalable Approach

Automated process discovery techniques allow us to generate a process model from an event log consisting of a collection of business process execution traces. The quality of process models generated by these techniques can be assessed with respect to several criteria, including <i>fitness</i> , which captures the degree to which the generated process model is able to recognize the traces in the event log, and <i>precision</i> , which captures the extent to which the behavior allowed by the process model is observed in the event log. A range of fitness and precision measures have been proposed in the literature. However, existing measures in this field do not fulfil basic monotonicity properties and/or they suffer from scalability issues when applied to models discovered from real-life event logs. This article presents a family of fitness and precision measures based on the idea of comparing the <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$k$</tex-math></inline-formula> th order Markovian abstraction of a process model against that of an event log. The article shows that this family of measures fulfils the aforementioned properties for suitably chosen values of <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$k$</tex-math></inline-formula> . An empirical evaluation shows that representative exemplars of this family of measures yield intuitive results on a synthetic dataset of model-log pairs, while outperforming existing measures of fitness and precision in terms of execution times on real-life event logs.

The Experience Must Meet the Promise

ABSTRACT Tourism departments spend millions of dollars on marketing campaigns with heavy branding and advertising focuses in hopes of drawing vacationers to their destinations. It is imperative that they are not only able to brand and sell their destinations, but also deliver on the promises made within their advertising campaigns; ultimately meeting visitors' expectations. Delivery on the advertising promises is often a secondary consideration and destinations rarely develop budgets and plans to train associates on the brand image. The actual process of establishing a quality and associate branding process lies within ten simple steps. However, destinations must overcome a variety of obstacles prior to implementing the actual process.

An assessment of short-term cattle grazing effects on honeybee forage potential in Mediterranean rangelands.

Beekeepers in Israel claim that cattle grazing during spring reduces honey production potential as a result of the removal of flowers. We studied the impacts of cattle grazing on honeybee forage during spring in a semi-arid Mediterranean habitat. Cattle was introduced to fenced plots in order to reach the required stoking rates and measurements of floral abundance and honeybee visits were carried out during five surveys. In this study, the impact of cattle grazing on honeybee forage activity appeared to be related to floral abundance and to the blooming periods of specific plant species rather than species richness. Crucifers and woody perennials, mainly Labiatae, seemed to be more attractive to honeybees than most herbaceous annuals. Overall, intensive grazing during the spring flowering season did not seem to suppress the full bloom potential or restrain flower production within local flora. Grazing at moderate to high levels (i.e. 0.4-0.8 cows/ha) may actually support natural honeybee forage by increasing the abundance of some important plant species. However it is recommended to restrict certain areas from grazing to support key species that are restrained by grazing and crucial for honeybee forage at the end of the season.

Ultrasound classification of medial gastrocnemious injuries

High‐resolution ultrasound (US) has helped to characterize the “tennis leg injury” (TL). However, no specific classifications with prognostic value exist. This study proposes a medial head of the gastrocnemius injury classification based on sonographic findings and relates this to the time to return to work (RTW) and return to sports (RTS) to evaluate the prognostic value of the classification. 115 subjects (64 athletes and 51 workers) were retrospectively reviewed to asses specific injury location according to medial head of the gastrocnemius anatomy (myoaponeurotic junction; gastrocnemius aponeurosis (GA), free gastrocnemius aponeurosis (FGA)), presence of intermuscular hematoma, and presence of gastrocnemius‐soleus asynchronous movement. Return to play (RTP; athletes) and return to work (RTW; occupational) days were recorded by the treating physician. This study proposes 5 injury types with a significant relation to RTP and RTW ( P &lt; .001): Type 1 (myoaponeurotic injury), type 2A (gastrocnemius aponeurosis injury with a &lt;50% affected GA width), type 2B (gastrocnemius aponeurosis with &gt;50% affected GA width), type 3 (free gastrocnemius aponeurosis (FGA) tendinous injury), and type 4 (mixed GA and FGA injury). The longest RTP/RTW periods were associated with injuries with FGA involvement. Intermuscular hematoma and Gastrocnemius‐soleus asynchronous motion during dorsiflexion and plantarflexion were observed when the injury affected &gt;50% of the GA width, with or without associated FGA involvement, and this correlated with a worse prognosis. The proposed classification can be readily applied in the clinical setting although further studies on treatment options are required.

Exploring empathy in project management: Workplace narratives inspiring reflection and discussion

Empathy has been acknowledged as a necessary addition to the project manager's toolkit, yet there is little in the literature on how this may be used in practice. There is no one agreed definition of empathy. However, it is acknowledged that it is a complex multifactorial construct incorporating cognitive and affective components. Given the complexity of the construct, it is reasonable to suggest that the use of empathy within the project management context is similarly complex. There is a call to incorporate the lived experience of project managers in research, and this article seeks to do that by sharing stories from several Master of Project Management students about their experience with empathy in industry. By showcasing the practical applications of empathy in diverse industries and contexts, this study aims to inspire project management practitioners to engage in reflective discussions on the integral role of empathy in effective project management.

<strong class="journal-contentHeaderColor">Abstract.</strong> The impact of droughts on vegetation is essentially manifested as the transition of water shortage from the meteorological to ecological stages. Therefore, understanding the mechanism of drought propagation from meteorological to ecological drought is crucial for ecological conservation. This study proposes a method for calculating the probability of meteorological drought to trigger ecological drought at different magnitudes in Northwestern China. In this approach, meteorological and ecological drought events during 1982&ndash;2020 are identified using the three-dimensional identification method; the propagated drought events are extracted according to a certain spatio-temporal overlap rule; and propagation probability is calculated by coupling machine learning model and C-vine copula. The results indicate that: (1) 46 drought events are successfully paired by 130 meteorological and 184 ecological drought events during 1982&ndash;2020; ecological drought exhibits a longer duration, but smaller affected area and severity than meteorological drought; (2) Quadratic Discriminant Analysis (QDA) classifier performs the best among the 11 commonly used machine learning models which is combined with four-dimensional C-vine copula to construct drought propagation probability model; (3) the hybrid method considers more drought characteristics and more detailed propagation process which addresses the limited applicability of the traditional method to regions with large spatial extent.

Quantitative Measurements of Bubbles and Foam Flow Generated From Two-Phase Subcooled Flow Boiling of Seawater in a Vertical Annulus

Abstract Bubbly flow or foam flow could prevail in the subcooled flow boiling of seawater in an annulus. Compared with the bubbly flow of de-ionized water in the subcooled flow boiling, the bubble size of seawater is smaller. Further, bubbly flow with small bubbles or foam flow in a subcooled flow boiling of seawater would be affected by different heat fluxes, mass fluxes and inlet subcooling. The change in the boiling behaviors due to different conditions can be reflected in terms of variations of bubble characteristics. However, details of the characteristics of bubbles in seawater generated by the two-phase subcooled flow boiling are still limited. In the present study, bubble characteristics are measured and detailed by an image analytic method in the software Image J. The subcooled flow boiling experiments with different heat fluxes are conducted in a vertical upward annulus with artificial seawater at the inlet temperature of 90°C and mass flux of 1200 kg/m2s. The two-phase flow patterns are recorded by the high-speed camera in 6000 frame/s. To conduct measurements of bubble characteristics using Image J, images are selected as one set of measurement from the videos recording under different heat fluxes. After preprocessing of images, measurements of bubbles and fitting procedures with ellipses are conducted. Averaged values of descriptors of bubbles are obtained, including areas, perimeters, lengths of major axes, lengths of minor axes, circularities, angles, solidities, and aspect ratios, etc. It provides a possible way to investigate the details of bubbly flow or foam flow in the subcooled flow boiling of seawater.

Cognitive complexity and performance in professional accounting examinations

The Accounting Education Change Commision states that accounting graduates should have the ability to solve unstructured problems in unfamiliar settings as an intellectual skill. According to cognitive theory, people with relatively high levels of cognitive complexity, are not significantly better at solving better at solving problems in unstructured situations than people with low levels of cognitive complexity, but are not significantly better in structured situations. This study replicates the findings of previous studies in the accounting area that tested this theory. Two extensions are made in the current study: first, cognitive complexity is measured by an instrument designed specifically for accountants; second, the examination considered is intended to asses both candidates' accounting knowledge and their ability to solve unstructured questions. In Canada, the Uniform Final Examination (UFE), the final examination that must be passed for candidates to become Chartered Accountants (CA), includes both structured and unstructured questions. Findings are consistent with those of the previous studies: marks received on unstructured questions are related to candidates' level of cognitive complexity as measured by the ACCT instrument but marks received on structured questions are not significantly related to candidates' level of cognitive complexity.
