Effect of a Biostimulant Based on Polyphenols and Glycine Betaine on Tomato Plants’ Responses to Salt Stress

Climate change accentuates abiotic stress conditions putting at risk several commercial cultivars particularly vulnerable to salinity in the early stages of development, which makes adopting new technologies in tune with the environment necessary to mitigate its impact. In this study, we tested the possible effects of a commercial biostimulant (BALOX®) on enhancing salt stress tolerance in salt-treated tomato plants, analysing plant growth and several stress biochemical markers: photosynthetic pigments, ion contents in roots and leaves, leaf concentrations of different osmolytes, oxidative stress markers, non-enzymatic antioxidants, and the specific activities of major antioxidant enzymes. The experimental design consisted of three soil salinity levels (non-saline, saline, and very saline), two biostimulant doses (0.4 mL and 0.8 mL of the BALOX® stock per litre of irrigation water), and the non-treated control (without biostimulant), evaluated at 30 and 60 days of treatment. The biostimulant favoured plant growth, especially at the root level and in saline soils. In addition, it helped reduce Na+ and Cl− uptake by the roots and seemed to stimulate, to some extent, K+ and Ca2+ transport to the aerial part of the plant. The BALOX® application significantly reduced the level of stress affecting the plants in saline soils, as shown by the decrease in the contents of proline and oxidative stress biomarkers and the activity of salt-induced antioxidant enzymes. Some of the biostimulant effects were also observed under low salinity conditions; therefore, in addition to enhancing salt stress responses, BALOX® appears to stimulate the growth of tomato plants through a general improvement of photosynthesis and primary metabolism.

Study of pulsed soft X-ray source employing a gas-puff Z-pinch plasma device for lithography applications

Employing a gas-puff Z-pinch plasma device, we have developed a bright and reliable X-ray source. The Z-pinch plasma was produced by a capacity discharge, using a fast valve to inject an annulus of Argon gas. The total capacitance of circuit is 24μF, and the peak discharge current is 360kA with a quarter-period of 2μs when the capacitor bank was charged to 25kV. The X-ray spectrum from our gas-puff Z-pinch plasma device is between 2keV and 6keV, and its yield is about 50J per shot. The shape of X-ray source is like a small cylinder with diameter of less than 1 mm and length of less than 2 mm. We have obtained some preliminary results of lithographic patterns by means of this plasma device.

Exploring frame-based gesture design for immersive VR shopping environments

In the design of gesture-based user interfaces, traditional gesture elicitation studies suffer from the legacy bias problem. In this paper, we conducted an exploratory study about the practical effects of frame-based design for gestural interaction with immersive VR shopping applications. In this study, we derived gestures via the traditional guessability and the framed guessability approaches. Experimental results indicated that priming participants with a frame, or a scenario, could significantly reduce the impact of legacy bias, and result in superior gesture vocabulary. However, no evidence was found that the priming technique would generate more gesture types, which may lead to lower agreement scores due to the reduction of legacy bias. Based on our findings, we propose some concrete design guidelines for gesture-based interaction. We highlight the implications of this work for the design of all gesture-based applications.

Lumbar reservoir for intrathecal chemotherapy

The Ommaya ventricular reservoir has been the standby of intrathecal chemotherapy for more than a decade, in spite of some specific drawbacks. A general anaesthetic is often required. The scalp must be shaven. Ventricular puncture may not always be easy and keeping the ventricular catheter patent is sometimes difficult. Hence the author has adapted a commercially available lumbar peritoneal shunt system to function as a lumbar intrathecal reservoir. The procedure is simple and can be performed expeditiously under local anaesthesia. To date, eight cases have received intrathecal chemotherapy by this means.

GC-MS Analysis of Six Bioactive Compounds Isolated From The Ethanol Leaf Extract of Andrographis Paniculata( Acanthaceae)

Medicinal plants offer infinite source of useful therapeutics .They offer promise for the treatment of human disease. Today we are still in need of safer, cheaper and effective drug products. The present study was carried out to characterize the bioactive substances represent in Andrographis paniculata (Acanthaceae) by GC-MS analysis. Andrographis paniculata is a medicinal plant used traditionally in Nigeria to treat boils, diarrhea, dysentery and malaria. The phytochemical screening revealed that the extract contain alkaloid, steroidal glycoside, terpene, carbohydrate, anthraquinone, polyphenol, saponin, tannin, resins, protein, coumarine, amino acid and anthracyanoside. The column chromatography of the extract yielded 78 eluates (A1-A78). Eluates A28, A29 (Rf = 0.48), A31, A32 (Rf = 0.23) and A36, A38, A39 (Rf = 0.49) yielded white crystals. The GC-MS of the crystals gave rise to six chemical compounds (isolates 1-6). These compounds may be responsible for various pharmacological actions.

[Inhibitory action of non-steroidal anti-flammatory drugs on prostaglandin synthesis and release (author's transl)].

Inhibitory action of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID)on the synthesis and release of prostaglandin (PG) was studied both in vivo and in vitro. In the experiment with PG synthetase from beef seminal vesicle, the potency of NSAID on the inhibitory action of PGE synthesis was: flurbiprofen greater than 4-(p-chlorophenyl)-2-phenyl-5-thiazoleacetic acid (CH-800) greater than indomethacin greater than diclofenac-NA greater than aspirin. Inflamed synovial tissue, as induced 6 hours after carrageenin injection into the knee joint cavity of rats was used to examine the inhibitory action of NSAID on PGE release from the tissue. Both in vivo and in vitro, CH-800 was the most potent and flurbiprofen and indomethacin were next potent of the five drugs. Effects of NSAID on the excretion of PGE and PG main urinary metabolite (PGMUM) in rat urine were determined. The excretion of urinary PGE was significantly decreased by administration of NSAID. Flurbiprofen and CH-800 had the most potent inhibitory action on the excretion of PGEMUM, but the urinary excretion of PGFMUM was not significantly inhibited by NSAID. Thus, the inhibitory effects of NSAID associated with PG synthesis were generally in proportion to the effect of the drugs with PG synthetase, however, there were differences regarding PG synthesis in inflamed tissue and the urinary excretion of PG metabolites.

Concept and Diagnosis of Unstable Plaque in the Carotid Artery(2. Atherosclerotic Internal Carotid Artery Disease and High Risk Patients,&lt;SPECIAL ISSUES&gt;Stroke as a Systemic Vascular Disease)

頸動脈不安定プラークの診断技術は進歩しつつあり,modalityも超音波,MRI,FDG-PETと選択肢が増えてきているが,まだevidence levelは高いとはいえない.頸動脈エコー検査では,低輝度プラーク,潰瘍形成,不均一プラークが脳梗塞発症のリスクとなるとされているが,最近プラークの可動性についても評価が可能となり,特に症候性の可動性プラークは再発のリスクが高く,迅速な対応が必要と考えている.経頭蓋ドプラー検査による微小栓子信号の検出も不安定プラークを間接的に反映するもので,多数検出される場合はやはり迅速な対応が必要となる.MRIによるplaque imagingもプラークの脆弱性の診断に有用であり,超音波検査と併用して用いることによりお互いの弱点をカバーできる可能性がある.いずれにしてもまだ大規模な前向き調査が行われていないのでガイドライン的なものはないが,検査を組み合わせながら治療法の選択の参考にしていただきたい.

When Two Universities Meet: Fostering Research Capacity Among Early Career Researchers

Between one-third and one-half of all presently employed academics will reach retirement age in the next decade. A challenge facing universities in this current environment is to continue to sustain their research capacities. Policy-makers and universities have developed various strategies to support ongoing development of different cohorts within the broader research community. One strategic approach has been to foster the research capabilities of Early Career Researchers (ECRs). This paper describes and analyses the features of one promising program collaboratively developed to support ECRs from Australian education faculties within the University of Canberra and Charles Sturt University. The program was initiated by senior researchers from both universities who identified a large number of ECRs on their respective staffs who worked in isolation and who would benefit from an expansion of their research and professional dimensions. While the program began as a 'top down' initiative, sufficient autonomy was allowed for the ECRs to identify their own professional requirements and to develop an ongoing program. ECRs have met regularly over the past two years to identify shared issues; organise and attend joint professional development activities (such as visiting scholars and mentoring with senior researchers); and work on collaborative research projects and publications. Funding, ongoing senior management support, a variety of both senior and junior role models as well as working on common initiatives has provided momentum for the program. The overarching aim of the program is to build a research community amongst the ECRs of both universities. An example of this collaboration has been a major writing project involving the production of a suite of articles by the ECRs concerning common ECR issues and support strategies. Outcomes also have included professional development and fostering cross university networks. The characteristics underpinning the program are highlighted in this paper, with links made between theory and practice, resulting in valuable outcomes for the participants concerned. It foreshadows emerging changes to the culture of the two education faculties as a result of explicitly addressing ECR research issues. Suggestions for developing sustainable programs to support ongoing research capacity-building of ECRs in Australian universities conclude this paper.

Prediction of L10 and Leq Noise Levels Due to Vehicular Traffic in Urban Area Using ANN and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Interface System (ANFIS) Approach

Recently in urban areas, road traffic noise is one of the primary sources of noise pollution. Variation in noise level is impacted by the synthesis of traffic and the percentage of heavy vehicles. Presentation to high noise levels may cause serious impact on the health of an individual or community residing near the roadside. Thus, predicting the vehicular traffic noise level is important. The present study aims at the formulation of regression, an artificial neural network (ANN) and an adaptive neuro-fuzzy interface system (ANFIS) model using the data of observed noise levels, traffic volume, and average speed of vehicles for the prediction of L10 and Leq. Measured noise levels are compared to the noise levels predicted by the experimental model. It is observed that the ANFIS approach is more superior when compared to output given by regression and an ANN model. Also, there exists a positive correlation between measured and predicted noise levels. The proposed ANFIS model can be utilized as a tool for traffic direction and planning of new roads in zones of similar land use pattern.

Effects of Psychological Variables on the Relationship between Customer Participation Behavior and Repurchase Intention: Customer Tolerance and Relationship Commitment

The inseparability of the production and consumption of services without quality control makes it difficult to fully meet the diverse needs of customers. Despite a company’s continuous efforts to satisfy customers with perceived quality aimed at service success, if the customers’ expectations are not met, the customers will not be satisfied. This study empirically analyzed the effects of customer tolerance and relationship commitment as psychological variables on the relationship between customer participation and repurchase intentions. According to the results of the analysis, relationship benefits, which are a motivation factor for customer participation, had significant effects on customer participation. In addition, customer participation showed significant effects on customer tolerance and relationship commitment. Furthermore, both customer participation and tolerance had significant effects on repurchase intentions; however, relationship commitment was found to have no significant effect on repurchase intentions. The results of this study indicate that customer tolerance formed through customer participation behavior improves customers’ satisfaction with perceived service quality thanks to the shared sense of responsibility that makes customers tolerate a failure of the final service after the service encounter process, thereby increasing repurchase intentions, which prevents the consumptive expenses invested into to recovering services after the company’s service failure. As such, the results of this study provide meaningful implications for sustainable management.

COPING AND ACCEPTANCE PAIN WITH QUALITY OF LIFE ADOLESCENTS WITH PRIMARY DYSMENORRHEA

Background: Dysmenorrhea is a symptom of pain experienced before or during menstruation. Based on literature review and previous research, the negative impact of basic education on adolescent girls has decreased quality of life by 80%. Good quality of life after experiencing primary dysmenorrhea with coping strategies and pain acceptance. This study aims to analyze the relationship between coping and acceptance with quality of life in adolescents with primary dysmenorrhea. Methods: This study uses analytical observational with a cross sectional approach. A sample of 43 students was obtained using simple random sampling at SMP PGRI Mekarmanik with the inclusion criteria of adolescent girls aged 13-16 years who had experienced menstruation in the last 3 months and experienced primary dysmenorrhea. Data collection was carried out online using a Google Form containing structured questionnaires WOC, CPAQ-8, WHO-QOLBRIEF and NPRS. Then analyze the data with Chi Square and Rank Spearman tests with a significance limit of 5%. Results: The percentage of respondents who experienced primary dysmenorrhea was 100% with the majority of moderate pain degrees 51.16%. There is no relationship between coping strategies and quality of life (p=0.897) because the majority of respondents use the EFC coping strategy, namely Emotional Focused Coping, where this strategy is used by people who are chronic and have low quality of life. There is a relationship between pain acceptance and quality of life (p = 0.006), it is found that high pain acceptance makes individuals adapt and reduce their attention to pain so as to optimize their daily functioning. Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between coping strategies and quality of life, but there is a significant relationship between pain acceptance and quality of life.

SH2744168.08FU

UNITE provides a unified way for delimiting, identifying, communicating, and working with DNA-based Species Hypotheses (SH). All fungal ITS sequences in the international nucleotide sequence databases are clustered to approximately the species level by applying a set of dynamic distance values (<0.5 - 3.0%). All species hypotheses are given a unique, stable name in the form of a DOI, and their taxonomic and ecological annotations are verified through distributed, web-based third-party annotation efforts. SHs are connected to a taxon name and its classification as far as possible (phylum, class, order, etc.) by taking into account identifications for all sequences in the SH. An automatically or manually designated sequence is chosen to represent each such SH. These sequences are released (https://unite.ut.ee/repository.php) for use by the scientific community in, for example, local sequence similarity searches and next-generation sequencing analysis pipelines. The system and the data are updated automatically as the number of public fungal ITS sequences grows.

Research on CMM-based Knowledge Management Maturity Models

To describe the progress of Knowledge Management strategies in organizations, various Knowledge Management Maturity Models (KMMMs) have been proposed and developed. From the context of Software Process Improvement (SPI), two categories are identified: Non-CMM-based KMMMs and CMM-based KMMMs. This paper describes the literature review of a state of the art analysis for CMM-based KMMMs, based on the premise that SPI can be considered as an instance of Knowledge Management. Findings indicate that CMM-based KMMMs and their knowledge areas can serve as useful components to evaluate KM maturity in KMbased SPI projects.
