Matricaria chamomilla L. (German chamomile) flower yield and essential oil affected by irrigation and nitrogen fertilization

Matricaria chamomilla is one of the most important medicinal herbs. The aim of this study was to investigate irrigation and N-fertilization effect on German chamomile yield and essential oil production. For the purposes of this study, field experiments were established at the Experimental Farm of the University of Thessaly, Larissa, Greece, in 2016 and 2017. The experimental design was a factorial split-plot design with main factor irrigation (I1: rainfed, I2: 100% ETo) and sub factor N-fertilization (F1: 0, F2: 80, and F3: 160 kg ha-1) with four replications. Flower yield measured by samplings at the ideal collection stage (2/3 of the rounds of tubes have been opened on the elevated flowering plant). Essential oil content was determined, using a Clevenger-type distillation apparatus and essential oil analysis by a GC-MS on a fused silica DB-5 column. Irrigation had a significant effect on yield, with irrigated treatments producing higher yield in comparison with rainfed treatments (5,250 and 2,200 kg ha-1, fresh and dry flowers, respectively). Furthermore, N-application had also a significant effect on yield, with the higher N-supply producing higher yield. The highest yield and essential oil production were found for the irrigated and fertilized treatment with the higher N-dressing (I2F3, 3,800 and 25 kg ha-1 dry flowers and essential oil yield, respectively). Moreover, it was found that the irrigated treatments produced lower amount of essential oil, while N-fertilization had a positive effect on α-bisabolol and chamazulene and a negative effect on bisabolol oxide A. Although irrigation had a negative impact on the content of essential oils, the high increase in yield led to a maximization of the essential oil production for the irrigated cultivation with maximum nitrogen fertilization. Therefore, chamomile seems to be a promising annual cultivation in Greece which can be established in areas of similar environmental conditions producing satisfactory yields.

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Peak to average power ratio reduction of ZT DFT-s-OFDM signals using improved monarch butterfly optimization-PTS scheme

For traditional orthogonal multiplexing frequency division (OFDM) systems, a novel Zero Tail Discrete Fourier Transform Spread Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Division (ZT DFT-s-OFDM) waveform architecture has recently been proposed as a problem solution of low peak to average power ratio (PAPR) efficiency. The ZT DFT-s-OFDM system allows the delay in the transmission of the channel with multipath to be dynamically copied, thus the limitations to be rectified with the hard-coded Cyclic Prefix (CP). However it is affected by few roadblocks during the transmission of data, and the primary one involves the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), which results in saturation observed in the power amplifier, production of more amount of interference and decreased resolution in elements such as digital/analog converters, which were considered as nonlinear. Partial transmit sequences (PTSs) is a promising plan and direct technique, ready to accomplish a viable PAPR decrease execution, yet it requires a thorough hunt to locate the ideal stage factors, which causes high computational multifaceted nature expanded with the quantity of sub-blocks. Right now, the author proposed a reduced computational complexity PTS scheme, in view of a new swarm knowledge algorithm, which is termed as Improved Monarch Butterfly Optimization (IMBO) for PAPR decrease with the ZT DFT-s-OFDM framework. The IMBO is a new swarm intelligence algorithm, with the capability of achieving an efficient optimization search that implements phase weighting process with less complexity for selecting optimum phase factors. Also, the proposed technique is quite efficient in looking for a fusion with optimal character of phase rotation factors for minimizng the computational difficulty involved. The outcomes of simulation indicate that IMBO-based PTS algorithm can substantially reduce PAPR employing an easy network structure in comparison with classical algorithms such as PTS scheme for conventional OFDM and PTS with ZT-DFT-s-OFDM.

Ideal harvest stage and quality descriptors of 5 banana cultivars based on 5 fruit diameters

Quality attributes of fruits such as pH, titratable acidity, soluble solids, maturity indices, firmness, skin colour and sugar content should support choosing the choice of the most appropriate stage to harvest bananas. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the optimal harvest stage of different cultivars according to five fruit diameters. Through a randomized block design with 4 replicates, the following variables were evaluated such as pH, titratable acidity, soluble solids, maturity index, firmness, fruit peel colour and sugar content on the cultivars Prata-Anã, Maçã, FHIA 18, Grand Naine and Nanicão IAC 2001. Fruits from the second bunch of banana bundle were harvested when they reached the diameters of 32, 34, 36, 38 and 40 mm. Results showed that the harvest stages (i.e. banana fruit diameters) affect the fruit quality attributes among cultivars; thus, it is recommended to harvest the fruits of ‘FHIA 18’ with 34, 36 or 38 mm in diameters; Grand Naine with 38 or 40 mm; ‘Maçã’ and ‘Nanicão IAC 2001’ with 38 mm; and ‘Prata-anã’ with 34 or 36 mm.

An Integrated Approach for Knowledge discovery and Information retrieval on Web

This Paper focuses on the integration of web information and subsequent knowledge relationship discovery within the integrated web data. The problem of information overload on the Internet has brought new attention to the ideas of filtering information on internet. Knowledge Discovery is often used for analysis of large amounts of web data and enables addressing a number of tasks that arise in Semantic Web and require scalable solutions. The World Wide Web and related web Information resources no arguably stand as the best-preferred medium for distributing information. It introduces various approaches to knowledge relation discovery like model creation, exact comparison and dynamic comparison. The nature of the web and the mass of valuable web information it holds, poses an ideal stage for applying data mining techniques for efficient discovery of knowledge from the World Wide Web. The eagerness shown by various research communities has made web based data mining (Web Mining) a rich mixture of different technologies. Therefore the heterogeneity in the area of web mining is as high as web itself. Our objective is to design an approach for information filtering, a general approach to personalized information filtering. Social Information filtering essentially automates the process of “word-of-mouth” recommendations: items are recommended to a user based upon values assigned by other people with similar taste. The system determines which users have similar taste via standard formulas for computing statistical correlations. The World Wide Web (WWW) provides a vast source of information. Technique for making personalized recommendations from any type of database to a user based on similarities between the interest profile of that user and those of other users. Recent years have seen the explosive growth of the sheer volume of information.

Professionalism of Islamic Spiritual Counsellors to Achieve The Quality of Health Services for Patients in Hospitals

<span>Spiritual counsellors in hospitals have not fully reached the professional stage, it is considered that there are still many problems to achieve the ideal stage according to the patients’ needs. The problems of Islamic spiritual counselling for patients in hospitals lie in: First, there is no standard of performance that is mutually agreed upon professionally. Second, there is no standard for preparing counsellors who are recognised both academically and professionally by the hospital, so that the ability of the counsellors is only seen and assessed based on common sense only without looking at academic capacity and competence, or ability. Third, as a consequence of the two problems mentioned above, the aspects of license and accreditation certainly cannot be done by each hospital, including the development of professional organisations. Therefore, the development solutions that have to be carried out include the development of the standardisation of the professional counsellor performance, namely the formulation of the professional spiritual counsellor standard performance in hospitals. The effort to pioneer the realisation of the formulation of the performance needs to be initiated by academics majoring BPI / BKI in Faculty of Da’wah and Communication with spiritual counselling practitioners in the hospital and standardisation of counsellor preparation. It aimsto prepare the (prospective) counsellorswith knowledge, mastery, and ability to carry out the materials and skills contained in the points of the formulation of performance.</span>

Fake News and Rumour Detection on Social Media

PC Mediated Communication (CMC) advances like, for example, online journals, Twitter, Reddit, Facebook and other web based life presently have such a large number of dynamic clients that they have turned into an ideal stage for news conveyance on a mass scale. Such a mass scale news conveyance framework accompanies a proviso of faulty veracity. Building up the unwavering quality of data online is a strenuous and an overwhelming test yet it is basically essential particularly amid the time-touchy circumstances, for example, genuine crises which can have destructive impact on people and society. 2016 US Presidential race is an encapsulation of the previously mentioned crisis. In a study , it was concluded that the public's engagement with phoney news through Facebook was higher than through standard sources. So as to battle the spread of malevolent and unplanned falsehood in online networking we built up a model to recognise counterfeit news. Counterfeit news recognition is a procedure of classifying news and estimating it on the continuum of veracity. Detection is done by classifying and clustering assertions made about the event followed by veracity assessment methods emerging from linguistic cue, characteristics of the people involved and network propagation dynamics..

Revisiting the role of professionals in designing buildings with low embodied and operational energy

Purpose Many studies have focused on embodied energy (EE) and operational energy (OE), but a shortage of studies on decision making, which involves several decision makers whose decisions can affect the energy performance of buildings, is evident. From the stages of the project life cycle, the design stage is identified as the ideal stage for integrating energy efficiency into buildings. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to revisit the role of professionals in designing energy-conscious buildings with low EE and OE. Design/methodology/approach This study administered a qualitative approach. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews only with 12 experts, due to the lack of expertise in the subject matter. The data were analyzed using manual content analysis. Findings The outcomes revealed the necessity to revisit the role of construction professionals in terms of adopting energy-efficient building design concepts from the project outset. The roles of the key professional groups (i.e. architects, structural engineers, services engineers and quantity surveyors) were identified through this research. Common issues in designing energy-efficient buildings and the means of addressing such problems were outlined. Originality/value This study contributes to the knowledge by revisiting the roles of construction professionals and proposing how they could leverage their strengths to play the important role and contribute collectively to design buildings with both low OE and EE.

Experimental and theoretical analysis of loading characteristics of different electret media with various properties toward the design of ideal depth filtration for nanoparticles and fine particles

Loading experiments of four electret fibrous media having various properties, including fiber diameter, porosity, thickness, charging density and fibrous structure, with fine and nanosized particles were conducted for finding out the influencing factors on efficiency decline and particle holding capacity. The four media include a commercial HVAC media rated with the minimum efficiency reporting value of 13 (MERV13), and three home-made media, including a coarse fiber (CF) layer, a melt-blown (MB) layer, and a bead-on-string (BS) layer. A theoretical model for predicting the pressure drop growth along the loading was applied and compared with that of experiments. The experimental results revealed that the charges of electret media did enhance the holding capacity. The decline of efficiency was found to closely relate to the holding capacity of each media. Higher capacity resulted in a higher decline of efficiency. The theoretical calculation illustrated that the ideal holding capacity was significantly higher than the current electret media had achieved, which indicates that it leaves much improvement of media design more desirable. Comparing the theoretical and experimental results of pressure drop growth with respect to mass load, it was found the current electret layers performed different levels of ideal depth filtration, with an order of CF > MERV13 > BS > MB. Beyond the ideal filtration, pressure drop growth raised exponentially. By utilizing their individual ideal filtration stage, three composite media consisting of 3–4 layers of these electrets with a total thickness less than 1 mm were combined and tested. At 1 in-H2O of pressure drop, the composite electret CF + MERV13 + BS achieved the highest holding capacity with 14.1 g m−2 which was at least 5–10 times higher than the existing commercial HEPA filters. The bead-on-string fibrous structure of BS enhanced the holding capacity of the composite media significantly. The newly developed electret-based composite filters performed an energy efficient filtration for fine and nanosized particles.

An Efficient R-Apriori Algorithm for Frequent Item set Mining in Python

The mining of affiliation rules remains a well-enjoyed and successful procedure for getting critical data from monstrous data sets. It attempts to look out feasible connections between things in monstrous data sets upheld exchanges. Visit examples ought to be created to frame these affiliations. The "R-APRIORI" standard and its arrangement of improved variations, that were one in all the soonest visit design age calculations arranged, remain a most well known option because of their easy to execute and parallel to the common inclination. despite the fact that there are a few conservative single-machine methodologies for Apriori, the huge amount of data by and by open so much surpasses the capacity of 1 machine. In this way, it's important to scale over numerous machines to satisfy the regularly developing requests of this data. Guide cut back could be a well-loved distributable adaptation to non-critical failure structure. Be that as it may, genuine circle I/O in each Map cut back activity obstructs the efficient usage unvaried Map cut back information handling calculations like Apriori Platforms. An as of late arranged distributable data stream stage Sparkle beats the Map cut back I/O circle bottlenecks. Shimmer so gives an ideal stage to circulation Apriori. In any case, the principal computationally costly errand inside the execution of Apriori is to thought of applicant sets with everysingle possible go after singleton visit things and to check each match with each managing record. Here we tend to propose a spic and span approach that drastically decreases this methodology multifaceted nature by dispensing with the progression of creating applicants and maintaining a strategic distance from costly examinations. We stock out in– profundity trials to discover the power and quantifiability of our methodology. Our investigations demonstrate that our methodology commonly beats Sparkle'sexemplary Apriori and dynamic for different data sets.

Penerjemahan Teks Medis Bahasa Inggris ke Bahasa Indonesia oleh Mahasiswa

This research focuses on the problems in the use and application of techniques and the process of translating of Nursing and Midwifery students at Polytechnic of Health Manado. The objectives of the research are to describe the technique as well as to analyze the process of translating medical texts that apply within the scope of learning of these students. This study is descriptive research, of the text analysis type (content analysis), using primary data taken from students. The data of this research were collected purposively from the respondents by referring, talking and taking note techniques. The analysis process uses methods of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions or verification. After analysis, the results of the study are as follows. The most popular translation techniques used in the translation of medical texts are borrowing techniques, amplification, established equivalent, adaptations and reductions which appear to be inseparable from the influence of the level of competence and the culture of language use of the translators. The translation process that is applied is analyzed in two groups which are groups that perform ideal stages: analysis, transfer and adjustment by rearranging existing sentences, and groups that do not perform the ideal stage: analysis and adjustment. In general, this happens because of the considerations of the students regarding the purpose of translating the text itself. The stage will be carried out perfectly if there is a demand assessment, and is not perfect if it is only as a reference in making relevant tasks. Keywords: translation techniques, translation process, medical texts, effects of translation results.

Minimally Invasive Embryo Transfer and Embryo Vitrification at the Optimal Embryo Stage in Rabbit Model.

Assisted reproductive techniques (ARTs), such as in vitro embryo culture or embryo cryopreservation, affect natural development patterns with perinatal and postnatal consequences. To ensure the innocuousness of ART applications, studies in animal models are necessary. In addition, as a last step, embryo development studies require evaluation of their capacity to develop full-term healthy offspring. Here, embryo transfer to the uterus is indispensable to perform any ARTs-related experiment. The rabbit has been used as a model organism to study mammalian reproduction for over a century. In addition to its phylogenetic proximity to the human species and its small size and low maintenance cost, it has important reproductive characteristics such as induced ovulation, a chronology of early embryonic development similar to humans and a short gestation that allow us to study the consequences of ART application easily. Moreover, ARTs (such as intracytoplasmic sperm injection, embryo culture, or cryopreservation) are applied with suitable efficiency in this species. Using the laparoscopic embryo transfer technique and the cryopreservation protocol presented in this article, we describe 1) how to transfer embryos through an easy, minimally invasive technique and 2) an effective protocol for long-term storage of rabbit embryos to provide time-flexible logistical capacities and the ability to transport the sample. The outcomes obtained after transferring rabbit embryos at different developmental stages indicate that morula is the ideal stage for rabbit embryo recovery and transfer. Thus, an oviductal embryo transfer is required, justifying the surgical procedure. Furthermore, rabbit morulae are successfully vitrified and laparoscopically transferred, proving the effectiveness of the described techniques.
