Effects of Different Nitrogen Dose and Sources as Top-Dressing on Yield and Silage Quality Attributes of Silage Maize

Abstract Effects of different nitrogen doses and sources applied as top-dressing on dry matter yield and quality of maize silage were investigated in this study. Along with 7.5 kg N da-1 application as starter at sowing in the form of 15-15-0+Zn, nitrogen doses of 0, 7.5, 15 and 22.5 kg da-1 were applied as top-dressing at 6-leaf stage of plants in the forms of ammonium nitrate, urea, DMPP blended ammonium sulphate nitrate and urea with NBPT urease inhibitor. Experiments were conducted in randomized blocks-factorial experimental design with 3 replicates in 2013 and 2014. The greatest dry matter yield were obtained from 15 and 22.5 kg N da-1 in 2013 and from 22.5 kg N da-1 in 2014. Nitrogen sources had also significant effects on dry matter yield. According to the average of two years, both DMPP blended ammonium sulphate nitrate and urea with NBPT urease inhibitor increased yield respectively by 7 and 3% as compared to ammonium nitrate and urea fertilizers. Nitrogen doses significantly improved the silage quality attributes. Nitrogen treatments increased silage protein ratio and decreased ADF and NDF ratios of silage samples. The greatest relative feed value was obtained from 15 kg N da-1 treatment. It was concluded based on present findings that besides the nitrogen doses, nitrogen sources also significantly improved yield.

Extrapolation of customer demand, and implications for broadband access network design

A simple model for extrapolating customer demand for broadband access services is introduced. The concept of “Equivalent Urgent Download” is proposed as a means for modelling customers' perception of the utility of the bitrate of broadband access services. Some implications for the possible future roadmap of the Australian national broadband network are explored. Sample analysis is provided to illustrate the proposition that investment by nbnTM in higher-speed technology may be impeded by the use of wireless internet access to supplement Fibre to the Node (FTTN) by some Retail Service Providers (RSPs).

[Induction treatment with bortezomib-cyclophosphamide-dexamethasone (CyBorD) for newly diagnosed transplant-eligible patients with multiple myeloma].

Twenty-nine transplant eligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) patients have received Cyclophosphamide-Bortezomib-Dexamethasone (CyBorD) as induction treatment in our institute since November 2011. CyBorD is composed of CPA 300 mg/m2 p.o., Bor 1.3 mg/m2 i.v. or s.c., and Dex 40 mg/body p.o. on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. The median number of CyBorD cycles was 4 (range 2-6), except in one patient who progressed during the first cycle. Grade 4 neutropenia was observed in 2 patients, but none experienced grade 2 thrombocytopenia. Grade 3 non-hematologic adverse events were observed in two patients with varicella-zoster virus reactivation. Responses after CyBorD were ≥PR in 72%, ≥VGPR in 52%, ≥CR in 21%, and sCR in 21%. Autologous stem cells were harvested in 27 patients. Seventeen of these 27 patients received high-dose melphalan and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) within 12 months after diagnosis. Patients with ≥CR increased to 59% after ASCT. Our data suggest the efficacy and the feasibility of administering CyBorD to transplant eligible NDMM patients.

Workers and Workplaces in a Neoliberal Global Economy

In this commentary I suggest that three sets of processes—a dramatic shrinking of distance between places, a growing global interconnection of economies, and the increasing importance for many corporations of an ‘international strategy’—are having fundamental impacts on workers and workplaces. Although these processes are playing out in geographically uneven ways, differentially affecting various parts of the globe, there are three sets of general implications associated with them. First, the speed with which the consequences of economic and political events are transmitted through markets has increased dramatically during the past decades. Second, the rhetoric of neoliberal globalization is being used in an attempt to shift the balance of power to global capital. Third, the international migration of both work and people is likely to increase, the former fueled by Internet technologies effectively allowing global telecommuting, the latter fueled by falling birth rates in the industrial economies of the global North. I conclude with some observations about how workers and their organizations may respond to these developments.

Biochemical differences in Merino sheep selected for resistance against gastro-intestinal nematodes and genetic and nutritional effects on faecal worm egg output

Abstract The faecal egg count (FEC) and total egg output is reduced in parasite-resistant sheep and breeding sheep for resistance should reduce infective larval contamination of pastures. This research compares lambs and rams from the parasite-resistant flock, Rylington Merinos, with unselected controls at the same level of larval challenge and the same level of food supply in an animal-house environment. The sheep were penned individually. The parasite resistant sheep excreted 0·85-fold less eggs than the control animals after infection with Trichostrongylus colubriformis and Ostertagia circumcincta for 12 or 18 weeks. During the infection period the parasite resistant lambs had higher plasma immunoglobulin concentration and higher ratio of globulin to albumin than the control animals. In the mature rams these genotype differences diminished. They also had lighter mass of the small intestine with a higher proportion of mucosa, but heavier mass of the large intestine. Parasite infection caused a depletion of blood glutathione in the lambs given food at maintenance or 1·5 × maintenance, and the parasite-resistant sheep (both lambs and rams) also had lower glutathione concentration. Maintaining good body nutrient reserve before the infection reduced the egg output in the early stage of the infection. Food intake had little effect on worm egg production in young sheep given food at maintenance or above. It is suggested that an improvement of nutrition, sulphur-containing amino acids in particular, is required to recover the loss of productive performance caused by the infection.

Structural basis for post-transcriptional gene silencing by human Argonaute-2

Argonaute proteins are a unique class of RNases that degrade substrate RNAs in a sequence-specific manner. Argonaute proteins acquire substrate specificity by binding to a small RNA (21 nucleotide), termed the guide RNA, and use the encoded sequence to locate target message RNAs (mRNAs) through base-pairing complementarity. We have determined crystal structures of human Argonaute-2 (Ago2) bound a guide RNA and a variety of complementary target RNAs. The structures reveal how Ago2 uses discrete regions of the guide to scan for targets and the conformational changes associated with target recognition. Using free phenol as a probe, we also identified a constellation of hydrophobic cavities on the surface of Ago2 that we suggest are involved in the recruitment of additional protein factors to target mRNAs upon recognition by Ago2.

Cytotoxicity Potential of Endophytic Fungi Extracts from <i>Terminalia catappa</i> against Human Cervical Cancer Cells

Endophytic fungi are potential sources of novel bioactive metabolites from a natural product drug discovery perspective. This study reports the bioactivity-directed fractionation of the secondary metabolites of the ethyl acetate extract of a fermentation culture of endophytic fungi from Terminalia catappa which were then evaluated for their cytotoxicity against human cervical cancer (HeLa) cells and human foreskin fibroblast (HFF) cells. Furthermore, apoptosis was determined using the Annexin V/propidium iodide (PI) flow cytometry assay. Endophyte extracts N2, N7, N8, N97, N169, and N233 were obtained from Trichoderma sp , Phoma sp , Phomopsis phyllanticola , Fusarium oxyporum , Collectotrichum sp , and Cryptococcus flavescens , respectively. The N97 extract was most active with a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC 50 ) of 33.35 µ g/ml. A 50% cytotoxic concentration (CC 50 ) of 268.4 µ g/ml was obtained with HFF cells and the selectivity index (SI) was 8.01. The percentages of cell populations were increased at late apoptosis (Annexin+/PI+), with the percentages of 27.4 ± 0.3 and 19.2 ± 0.01 obtained, respectively, for 50 µ g/ml and 80 µ g/ml of the N97 extract and 2.1 ± 0.1 obtained for the control in late apoptosis (Annexin V+/PI+) . Moreover, a higher reduction in the percentage of viable cells was observed in the HeLa control cells (93.6 ± 0.3), but the percentages of viable HeLa cells were 37 ± 0.05 and 45 ± 0.1, respectively, for the 50 µ g/ml and 80 µ g/ml treatments with the N97 extract. Also, the percentages of 34.7 ± 0.1 and 33.9 ± 0.4 were, respectively, obtained for 50 µ g/ml and 80 µ g/ml compared to the control with 4.6 ± 0.2, in early apoptosis (Annexin V+/PI-). These findings highlight the anticancer potential of the N97 extract of endophytic fungi from Terminalia catappa , which is mediated through apoptosis and presumably also attenuation of chemoresistance.

A League of Their Own

This chapter shows how Hungarian and Romanian statesmen clung to minority rights rhetoric through the darkest days of the war, forcing Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy to play the role of minority rights watchdog for both states, in a sense picking up where the League of Nations had left off. Their mediation efforts implicitly confirmed the claim that formed the basis for the League system, namely, that minorities constituted “obligations of international concern”.

Food recognition via an efficient neural network with transformer grouping

Recently, considerable research efforts have been devoted to food recognition for its great potential applications in human health. Much work so far has focused on directly extracted deep visual features via Convolutional Neural Networks, which require significant computational resources and training time. The high requirements on hardware resources severely limit the application of food recognition in mobile devices and the sustainable extension on the server side. Therefore, how to design an efficient and high-performance lightweight neural network for food recognition is the key to solve the problem. In this paper, we propose a Lightweight Transformer-Based Deep Neural Network for food image recognition, which can achieve effective recognition of food images with fewer parameters and lower computational cost. Through Transformer Grouping and Token Shuffling, we construct an efficient food image recognition network that effectively combines the advantages of Transformer to extract global features and MobileNet to extract local features. The proposed network architecture effectively copes with the particularly scattered distribution of salient features in food images, and improves the recognition rate. We conduct extensive experiments on three popular food data sets, demonstrating that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance in applying lightweight neural networks to food image recognition.

Study on compressional energy contribution into total energy of pile deformation in cut-pile carpet

Compression behavior is one of the most important properties of the carpets. In this study, a new theoretical model has been presented in which total energy of pile deformation in cut-pile carpet including bending energy of pile deformation, frictional loose energy due to sliding pile yarns, and compressional energy due to piles jamming at the end of pile deformation process has been calculated. Then, derived equations have been solved by computer software and calculated theoretical values have been compared with experiment. Results show that compressional energy has no remarkable contribution into total energy of pile deformation. Also, difference between theoretical results and experiment is not large, and presented theory can well predict compression behavior of the cut-pile carpet. Meanwhile, new proposed model could not improve previous presented theory.

Integrated Waste Treatment Unit GFSI Risk Management Plan

This GFSI Risk Management Plan (RMP) describes the strategy for assessing and managing project risks for the Integrated Waste Treatment Unit (IWTU) that are specifically within the control and purview of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and identifies the risks that formed the basis for the DOE contingency included in the performance baseline. DOE-held contingency is required to cover cost and schedule impacts of DOE activities. Prior to approval of the performance baseline (Critical Decision-2) project cost contingency was evaluated during a joint meeting of the Contractor Management Team and the Integrated Project Team for both contractor and DOE risks to schedule and cost. At that time, the contractor cost and schedule risk value was $41.3M and the DOE cost and schedule risk contingency value is $39.0M. The contractor cost and schedule risk value of $41.3M was retained in the performance baseline as the contractor's management reserve for risk contingency. The DOE cost and schedule risk value of $39.0M has been retained in the performance baseline as the DOE Contingency. The performance baseline for the project was approved in December 2006 (Garman 2006). The project will continue to manage to the performance baseline and change control thresholds identified in PLN-1963, ''Idaho Cleanup Project Sodium-Bearing Waste Treatment Project Execution Plan'' (PEP).

REVIEW ARTICLES Coronary In-Stent Restenosis: Current Status and Future Strategies

In-stent restenosis (ISR) is a novel pathobiologic process, histologically distinct from restenosis after balloon angioplasty and comprised largely of neointima formation. As percutaneous coronary intervention increasingly involves the use of stents, ISR is also becoming correspondingly more frequent. In this review, we examine the available studies of the histology and pathogenesis of ISR, with particular reference to porcine and other animal models. An overview of mechanical treatments is then provided, which includes PTCA, directional coronary atherectomy and high speed rotational atherectomy. Radiation-based therapies are discussed, including a summary of current problems associated with this modality of treatment. Finally, novel strategies for the prevention of ISR are addressed, including novel developments in stents and stent coatings, conventional drugs, nucleic acid-based drugs and gene transfer. Until recently, limited pharmacologic and mechanical treatment options have been available for both treatment and prevention of ISR. However, recent advances in gene modification and gene transfer therapies and, more particularly, in local stent-based drug delivery systems make it conceivable that the incidence of ISR will now be seriously challenged.

Highly fault-tolerant parallel computation

We re-introduce the coded model of fault-tolerant computation in which the input and output of a computational device are treated as words in an error-correcting code. A computational device correctly computes a function in the coded model if its input and output, once decoded, are a valid input and output of the function. In the coded model, it is reasonable to hope to simulate all computational devices by devices whose size is greater by a constant factor but which are exponentially reliable even if each of their components can fail with some constant probability. We consider fine-grained parallel computations in which each processor has a constant probability of producing the wrong output at each time step. We show that any parallel computation that runs for time t on w processors can be performed reliably on a faulty machine in the coded model using wlog/sup 0(1/)w processors and time tlog/sup 0(1)/w. The failure probability of the computation will be at most t/spl middot/exp(-w/sup 1/4 /). The codes used to communicate with our fault-tolerant machines are generalized Reed-Solomon codes and can thus be encoded and decoded in O(nlog/sup 0(1)/n) sequential time and are independent of the machine they are used to communicate with. We also show how coded computation can be used to self-correct many linear functions in parallel with arbitrarily small overhead.
