The Growth Character and Results of Hybrid Corn Parents From Three-Way Crossing to Produce Hybrid Corn Seed Variety of Bima URI 20

The character of growth and production of hybrid maize seeds in Bima URI 20 used a three-way cross. The female elders of Bima 4 variety and male elders (G180 / Mr14 x Nei 9008P). The research objective was to see the relationship between growth and three-bonded mother trees in the production of Bima 20 URI hybrid maize seeds. The research was conducted in Kendal Regency with an area of 2 hectares in MK-1 2019 through the OFCOR (On-Farm Client-Oriented Research) approach. This research uses descriptive analysis and the relationship between variables. The results showed that genetic and environmental factors influenced the growth of parent seeds. Rise of male elders 96.5%, female elders 98.6%, Tall plants 208.5 cm, male elders 148.4 cm, ear height 74.1 cm, male elders 57.9 cm, age the female flowers 50.35, and male flowers 47.8. The results of the assessment test for the parameters of ear weight assessment, seed weight per ear, and 1000 dry seed weight resulted in a value of 0.8-0.9 that indicated that the characters had a strong effect on plant productivity and growth.

Estimating the distribution and productivity characters of Larix kaempferi in response to climate change

Understanding the distribution, net primary productivity (NPP) and environmental constraints of Larix kaempferi is crucial to predict how global climate change will affect its growth and future dynamics. We simulated future changes in the globally suitable distribution patterns and the NPP dynamics under different representative concentration pathways (RCPs) using MaxEnt and Physiological Principles in Predicting Growth (3-PG) models. The results showed that suitable distribution areas for Larix kaempferi were concentrated in Europe and Asia, followed by North America, under current climate conditions. Globally, about 33.75% of the suitable area was in China. Suitable areas decreased and shifted northward in Asia, Europe and China in the RCP scenarios. Larix kaempferi could adapt or move to higher latitudes/altitudes to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change. The NPP of Larix kaempferi in China was 241.85–863.57 g m−2 a−1 simulated by the 3-PG model after local parameterization, which was consistent with the measured NPP. Changes in NPP were predicted in future climates. When the correlations between climate factors and NPP were examined, under the more optimistic scenarios, NPP would increase significantly. The key parameters of the 3-PG model were the optimal temperature for growth, forest age, and the number of days of lost productivity in each frost period. Therefore, climate change has a quantitative and significant impact on the distribution and productivity of L. kaempferi, which was estimated successfully with the two modeling approaches. Our results will contribute to the improved cultivation, environment and management of L. kaempferi and potentially of other deciduous gymnosperms.

PHENOTYPIC AND GENETIC VARIABILITY OF LOCAL EARLY MAIZE GERMPLASMFROM TRANSYLVANIA AND PROSPECTS FOR ITS USE IN IMPROVEM

In maize, local populations are the result of the mass selection made by the farmers, followingespecially the production characters. The expansion in culture of American maize hybrids resulted in anincrease in grain yield, but also a reduction in the areas cultivated with local populations and their process ofintrogression with hybrids. In recent years, European breeders, but also Romanian breeders, have begun to payattention to the collection of local maize germplas, in the hope that it will prove useful in future breedingprograms. In Romania, there is relatively little data on the phenotypical and genetic diversity of maizegermplasm of the first Cycle. Turda maize collection is mainly composed of more than 300 local populations(landraces); 70 synthetics/ composites, 3 varieties, and more than 1400 inbred lines. For a deeper knowledge ofthe first cycle maize germplasm, a number of 8 inbred lines developed from the local populations were testedfor their general combining ability by crossing with four elite inbred lines. 42 inbred lines developed fromTransylvania local populations were studied by using 80 SSR markers. In this way, it was possible to classifythe 42 inbred lines, especially in 4 groups of germplasms: W 153R, F2, Lo3, D 105. Both local populations andsynthetics/ composites were on average the most divergent (%) in height of ear (range value 22.3; 24.9), thenumber of tassel branches (range value 27.1; 27.8), ear weight (range value 22.9;20.3) and grain weight (rangevalue 21.7; 20.9), grain oil concentration (range value 12.7;14.3) and grain fiber content 18.3 to landraces ascompare to synthetics/ composites range value 9.8. The grain oil, fiber, and ash content showed high variabilityamong the genotypes. In this context, the traditional germplasm represents a good source of genetic variabilityto explore and may help to identify the most suitable materials for the development of more nutritiousfoods.Theobjectives of this study were: i) to evaluate the potential of maize TURDA germplasm according to its plant andear characters as well as grain quality content ii) to estimate the extent of phenotypical and geneticalvariabilityand iii) to formulate a selection criterion in a breeding program.

CIUDAD/COMUNICACIÓN/CULTURA HACIA UNA PERSPECTIVA TRANSDISCIPLINARIA

espanolEste articulo se orienta hacia la construccion de una perspectiva transdisciplinaria para reflexionar sobre el campo de debates que convergen en su titulo: Ciudad/Comunicacion/Cultura. En este sentido, las reflexiones parten de retomar algunas producciones que van en esta orientacion, previo reconocimiento de la convergencia historica que se viene realizando en la region de America Latina en particular entre los estudios urbanos, por un lado, y los estudios en comunicacion por el otro. Luego proponemos la referencia a dos tendencias que van produciendo las ciudades de manera creciente: la mercantilizacion y la mediatizacion de la experiencia de los actores. Intentaremos, recuperando distintos autores del campo de la comunicacion, dar cuenta de los rasgos y las dinamicas que prevalecen en la produccion de escenarios urbanos contemporaneos, indicando el caracter productor de la ciudad. Recuperamos, asi, las intimas relaciones entre ciudad capitalista/turistificada, comunicacion mercantil/publicitaria, y la construccion de lazos sociales subsumidos por la logica del capital. Al avanzar en el articulo, reflexionamos fenomenologicamente sobre dimensiones de la vida urbana actual, en Cordoba y otras ciudades del pais: sujetos con dispositivos pegados al cuerpo, en barrios cerrados, con trayectorias fijas de movilidad, con ninos asesinados para cuidar las mercancias; conformando nuestra sensibilidad y el sensorium colectivo. Para nosotros la ciudad no solo se considera como escenario o continente, como marco o encuadre; sino que en la actualidad la ciudad tiene un rol activo en la produccion de formas de estar juntos/estar separados. Asi tambien, de dar luchas contra el capitalismo. EnglishThis article is oriented to build a transdisciplinary perspective to study the area of knowledge and debates that converge in the title of this text: City/Communication/Culture. Therefore, our proposal begins by recovering some former productions which aim towards that goal, recognizing the historical convergence that has occurred in Latin America between urban and communication studies. After that we refer to two tendencies which cities are gradually producing: commodification and medialization of actor’s experiences.By recovering different authors, we will try to present the features and dynamics that prevail in the production of urban sceneries, indicating the productive character of cities. We refloat the intimate relations between capitalist/touristified cities, market/publicity oriented communication and the construction of social bonds subsumed by capital’s logic.After such a presentation, we will reflect fenomenologically about some current dimensions in urban life, particularly in Cordoba and other cities of Argentina: subjects with devices attached to their bodies, in closed neighborhoods, with fixated trajectories, with childrenbeing killed to guard commodities, and forming at the same time our sensibilities and collective sensorium.From our point of view, the city is not only scenery or a continent, a picture or a frame. Instead, the city has an active role in the production of ways of being together/being apart. But also, in the ways of fighting capitalism.

Digitisation – putting precarisation into context

Digitisation is widely – and justifiably criticised – for its detrimental impact on social developments (securitisation of employment and social insurances), commonly understood as point of reference for heterodox policies. However, too often two shortcomings are underlying this view: (a) the confusion of the technical dimension of digitisation and its use as definiendum of business models and (b) the assumption of the validity of a socio-economic normal that actually never really existed.In the following the main argument is developed along the line that a widely underdeveloped perspective on the process of capitalism is the acknowledgement of its socialising character – leaving aside its appearance and isolating the analysis on individual capitals. While this is in very broad terms accepted (as matter of the antagonistic relationship between social character of production and the private appropriation of its results), it is not sufficiently elaborated if and to which extent this private appropriation is in actual fact a matter of violence. Leaving the ultimate answer aside, it is worthwhile to consider that from both, the socio-economic angle as well as from the regulatory side we are witnessing a kind of natural push towards a more radical process of socialisation, going hand in hand with processes of digitisation

Penerapan Algoritma Campbell Dudek Smith (CDS) untuk Optimasi Waktu Produksi Pada Penjadwalan Produksi

Research on optimizing production time using the dudek smith campbell algorithm (CDS) in scheduling the production process aims to makepan optimization for machine operations to produce 12 size griddle products, 14 griddle sizes, 16 griddle sizes, 18 griddle sizes and 20 griddle sizes to get the makepan values. optimal. The method applied by the Campbell Dudek and Smith (CDS) algorithm, CDS is a method used in flowshop scheduling developed from Johnson's rule which is able to minimize the makespan of 2 machines arranged in series. The CDS method is very suitable for production characters who apply machine sequences to the production process. CDS produces several iterations that have the value of makespan, from those iterations, the minimum value of makespan is to determine the order of products to be produced. This research resulted in an application that can schedule products to be produced by machines automatically. From the test results with a total production of 12 pieces on each product with 6 repetitions, the minimum value of makespan is 210.12 minutes with a sequence of product works 20 pans, 18 pans, 16 pans, 14 pans, and 12 pans. Accuracy of results Application testing shows 99.99% for the first time and 99.96% for the second time when compared to manual calculations

Therefore, distance learning after the Covid-19 pandemic needs to be planned well and considers the level of STEM literacy and character content clarity.

The chlorophyll contents and growth performances of West Java (Indonesia) jobtears (Coix lacryma-jobi) accessions under low light intensity conditions

Abstract. Juhaeti T, Setyowati N, Syarif F. 2020. The chlorophyll contents and growth performances of West Java (Indonesia) jobtears (Coix lacryma-jobi) accessions under low light intensity conditions. Biodiversitas 21: 5178-5185. The research was carried out to study the shading tolerance of five jobtears (Coix lacryma-jobi L) accession collected from Bandung, Kuningan, Garut, Sukabumi, and Sumedang West Java Indonesia. The existence of shade-tolerant jobtears was important to increasing its cultivation for food diversification effort. The research was conducted in the Botany Division, Research Center for Biology, Indonesian Institute of Sciences. The experimental design was a Randomized Complete Block Design with two factors. The first factors were 0%, 25%, 50%, and 75% shading intensity. The second factors were five West Java jobtears accession, namely Bandung, Kuningan, Garut, Sukabumi, and Sumedang accession. The shading intensity set up artificially by the black plastic net. Jobtears seeds planted on planting beds on 70x100 planting distance. The variable observed included microclimate, plant growth, leaf chlorophyll content, and grain production. The result indicated that jobtears accession showed differences in growth and production characters. Low light intensity significantly affected plant growth and production. The plant height, leaf number, and chlorophyll content variables increased until 50% shading intensity and then decreased by 75% shading. Plant production decreased by the increased of shading intensity. The Bandung and Garut accessions can be determined as a potential low-light tolerant accession due to its better growth and production compared with others and the lowest percentage of decreased production. For further research, the Garut and Bandung accession can be used as a genetic biodiversity source for shading tolerance breeding efforts.

Variabilitas dan Korelasi Genotipik dan Fenotipik 10 Genotipe Tanaman Nilam (Pogostemon cablin Benth.)

<p>Patchouli Aceh Lhokseumawe is a patchouli that has a high oil content. However, the Lhokseumawe species have narrow plant genetic variation due to vegetative propagation. This study aims to analysis broad genetic variability and phenotypes, correlation between growth character and strong yield character to help selection in plant breeding. The research was conducted at experimental field of the Politeknik Negeri Lampung in April until October 2018. The research used Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 10 genotype and 3 replications. Analysis of the data used is ANOVA, if significantly different followed by the LSI 5%, then using variability genotype and phenotype and t test.

Extensive genotype variability was found ini g/plant dry weight character and ton/ha dry terna production, broad phenotype variability was found in all observed characters. High heritability is found in the characters of stem diameter, wet weight, dry weight, and production of dry ton/ha. Significantly positive phenotypic correlations that have high oil yield are characterized by the characteristics of dry weight, ton/ha dry cattle production, wet weight, and harvest index. Positive genotypic correlations were evident between growth and yield characters, namely the oil yield with leaf length, and leaf width.</p>

Evaluation on reproductive and productivity characters of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes grown in the lowlands

The objective of this study is to obtain mutant and convergent wheat breeding lines adapted to lowlands with high productivity and high heritability characters. This research was carried out in Bonto Parang, Tolo Selatan Village, Kelara District, Jeneponto Regency with coordinates 5°24′58.0″S 119°54′58.2″E at 135 m above sea level (asl). This research took place from May to September 2019. This study was arranged with Randomized Complete Block Design with 20 genotypes and 4 control varieties (Dewata, Guri-3, Selayar, and Nias). The study was conducted with 3 replications so that there were 72 experimental units. The results show that adaptive mutant lines and convergent wheat breeding in lowlands with high productivity were shown by genotype N 250 4.6.2 (2.27 t ha−1), S 300 7.9.1 (2.29 t ha−1), S 300 8.3. 1 (2.35 t ha−1), N 200 2.5.2 (2.27 t ha−1), S 300 2.1 (2.29 t ha−1), CBF6-110 (2, 31 t ha−1), and CBF6-192 (2.37 t ha−1). Characters that have high heritability values were panicle length, the number of spikelets per panicle, seed weight per panicle, the potential yield per plant, and productivity.

Formation of Production Characters of Soya Genotypes [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] in the Areas of South-East Kazakhstan with Sufficient and Limited Water Supply

Moisture stress is a major environmental factor that limits the soy (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) yield worldwide. This study aimed to evaluate production characters of 98 varieties and collection samples of soy in the fields of the Almaty region of the Republic of Kazakhstan with and without irrigation. The experiment used a combination of features – weight of seeds from a plot, weight of 1,000 seeds, and seed plumpness – as the main markers for drought resistance assessment. Based on a comprehensive assessment of the working collection, soybean genotypes with high drought resistance were identified. These genotypes are useful genetic materials for soy breeding programs with the aim to increase yields and drought resistance. Varieties of the maturity group 00 can be cultivated in the Almaty region without irrigation, since these accessions avoid moisture stress by shortening the vegetation period. These samples can also be recommended for cultivation in non-irrigared areas of Eastern and Northern Kazakhstan. The highest productivity potential in the Almaty region was found in varieties of the maturity group II. However, their cultivation without irrigation will lead to a maximum decrease in yield.

Authenticity of the Vladimir Melnik’s graphic art

In small graphic works for book pages and stamps (mixed technique), the artist provides both typological and psychological descriptions, both thorough details and overall atmosphere. V. Melnik complies with the basic requirements for an illustrator of non-fiction, as evidenced in the accuracy of depiction, detailed portrayals, solid draftsmanship of the works. But the artist goes beyond the requirements, since he usually individualizes the appearances and animates the precisely reconstructed background landscapes (“Stefan the Great”, “Castles of Moldavia”). Given the fragmentation, the rhythm of the silhouettes is accentuated (“Birds of the World”). The rigor of the drawing is combined with the integrity of color, and exquisite detailing with the monumentality, implying grandeur and even epic content (“Animals Disappeared”, “Birds of Moldova”, series of stamps issued by “Moldavian Post”). In the times when digital technologies affect the process of making illustrations, artworks by V. Melnik are valuable for the character of unique piece products, as they appear to be like pearls of filigree decoration. В статье рассматривается творчество Владимира Мельника, одного из самых опытных мастеров графического искусства Республики Молдова. Несмотря на значительные достижения художника в разных областях графики, ранее его творчество не было изучено. Автор статьи освещает многолетнюю деятельность мастера для введения его произведений в международный научный оборот. Анализируются работы, выполненные с 1980-х по 2010-е годы: натурные и полуфантастические композиции (офорт, меццо-тинто, пастель), документальные изображения для книг и марок (темпера с добавлениями гуаши, акварели, карандаша, пастели). Работая в трех областях графики – станковой, книжной и малых форм, В. Мельник проявляет утонченность художественного исполнения, а также тонкое пейзажное видение. Станковые произведения выделяются метафоричностью художественного языка и обилием насыщенных черных тонов. Усложнение технического исполнения приводило к созданию неповторимых эффектов. Графика малых форм, предназначенная для репродуцирования в книгах и на марках, интересна емкостью при описательной правдоподобности. Мастер стремится одновременно к типологизации и психологизации образов, к детальной разработанности и обобщенности форм. Творчество В. Мельника показательно как синтез старинных и современных традиций разных видов графики в талантливой авторской обработке.

Noble‐metal‐free MOF Derived ZnS/CeO2 Decorated with CuS Cocatalyst Photocatalyst with Efficient Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production Character

AbstractInspired by the rich morphology of ZnO and cation‐exchange technology, regular dodecahedron‐like CeO2/ZnO was obtained by the calcination of Ce doped ZIF‐8 precursor in this study, and CeO2/ZnS was obtained by the in‐situ vulcanization of CeO2/ZnO. This design not only maintained the morphology of ZIF‐8, but also enhanced the oxidation‐reduction capacity of the catalyst. When the Ce content was 10 wt %, 10‐CeO2/ZnS sample showed the best photocatalytic hydrogen production performance in all X−CeO2/ZnS samples. Loading of co‐catalysts can effectively enhance the surface hydrogen reduction in photocatalytic water splitting by introducing a positive Schottky barrier. CuS was regarded as a promising cocatalyst to replace the noble metals due to its low cost and equivalent or even better performance. The in‐situ cation exchange method was used to load co‐catalyst CuS on the 10‐CeO2/ZnS composites to obtain the 10‐CeO2/ZnS‐CuS composites which had the large specific surface area, regular dodecahedral structure and much excellent photolysis of water to produce hydrogen characters. This work provided a new strategy for the advantages combining of co‐catalyst, p‐n junction as well as the porous structure to enhance the photocatalytic characters.

Relationship between Morphometric and Milk Production Characters in Ongole Cattle

Background: Selecting dairy type Ongole cows based on their phenotypic characters like coat colour, stature, external appearance which are being poorly correlated to milk production and reproduction is a common practice in Andhra Pradesh. In absence of the production records, predicting the association between milk yield and morphometry forms a potential tool for selection of dairy type Ongole cattle. Methods: The data on morphometric characters and milk production was recorded on 211 elite lactating Ongole cows in the breeding tract of Andhra Pradesh and correlation and regression coefficients were estimated. Result: The lactation milk yield and lactation length were positively (P less than 0.01) correlated with udder area, udder length, face length and cephalic index and negatively correlated with skin fold thickness and tail length. The regression coefficients of udder area, skin fold thickness, face length and tail length for lactation milk yield and lactation length were found to be significant (P less than0.01). The present study concluded that the udder area, skin fold thickness, face length and tail length may be given more weightage in selection of dairy type Ongole cows.

Knowing the landscape: a theoretical discussion on the challenges in forming knowledge about landscapes

ABSTRACT Knowledge about landscapes is highly complex and it is important to clarify how that complexity is reflected in the knowledge claims that feed into a particular planning process. Thus, this paper addresses critical issues and challenges regarding the formation of knowledge about landscapes in spatial planning contexts, based on published landscape research and planning theory. The analysis is rooted in planning theorists’ discussion of various types of knowledge claims involved in spatial planning practices. Thinking in terms of knowledge, and discussing both the character of knowledge production and types of knowledge claims that will be included, is a useful approach for choosing and developing assessment methods. To aid such approaches, two key aspects of formation of knowledge about landscapes are addressed here. One is the trans-disciplinary challenge of capturing landscapes as a whole. The other is the normative element of knowledge pertaining to landscapes, including diverging moral and ethical perspectives.

Energy and exergy analyses of carob pulp drying system based on a solar collector

In regards to the highly perishable character of most food products and plants, their conservation during large transportation distances and storage is a sensitive issue. The drying process is a method used to increase the shelf life of the products. It is a fundamental operation in the industry that requires energy and time. This process permits to avoid the deterioration of product quality through the microorganisms and the enzymatic reactions. The aim of this work is to study the carob pulp (Ceratonia Siliqua L.) solar drying using a convective solar dryer. Besides, to understand the drying kinetics and to obtain the characteristic drying curve under different temperatures (50, 60, 70, 80 °C) and different drying air velocities. As results, the increase of drying temperature leads to a drying time decrease. In addition, the variation of the diffusivity coefficient is found to be ranged between 1.56 10−9 and 6.98 10−9, moreover, it is influenced by the increase of the drying temperature. As well an energy-exergy analysis is conducted to evaluate the performance of the studied solar dryer. The energy and exergy efficiencies of the convective dryer are varied in a range of 4.23–7.25% and 30.12–80.5%, respectively.

Productivity and semantic classification of the phraseological pattern on + the + N

This paper presents the results of a semantic classification of the phraseological pattern on + the + N in English (on the run, on the take, on the sly, on the line), a very productive pattern with an open slot. From the realizations found in four dictionaries of idioms and in the Oxford English Dictionary six notional fields have been identified. Several processes contribute to the productive character of this pattern, namely analogical production, especially geographical variants and different language registers, the process of metaphorization and antonymic analogy.

Efficiency of crossing ewes of the Pechora breed with rams of the Ostfriesian breed in the conditions of Far North

There are hypotheses that crossbreeding increases precocity, milk production and fertility of ewes, improves quality of wool with decrease in the amount of wool clip and shearing frequency from two to one time a year, and increases the growth rate of young sheep. Thus, the direction of sheep productivity turns towards increasing lamb production. Studied were quantitative and qualitative changes in the production character of Pechora-Ostfriesian crossbreeds for justification of their breeding and further use in the selection process. The objects for the study were ewes, suckling lambs and growing young sheep of the Pechora breed group and Pechora-Ostfriesian crossbreeds of the first generation of the experimental herd of L. A. Kaneva peasant farm in the Ust-Tsilma district of the Komi Republic. For the comparative analysis, data from primary zootechnical record and valuations for 2016-20 years were used. All measurements were performed in accordance with approved conventional methods. Crossbred sheep of the first generation were significantly more precocious, they had their first lambing 164 days earlier. The wool fineness of crossbreeds has increased to 56-60 quality, and the fleece evenness to 100 %, while twice reducing the cost of shearing. There is a tendency to increase the average daily gain in live weight of Pechora-Ostfriesian young sheep at the age of three to seven months by 17.4 g, or 18.1 %. The studies have shown that crossbreeding had not led to increase in the fecundity and milk production of ewes. However, the production of live weight gain per ewe per year was higher in crossbreeds by 4.4 kg, which suggests the prospects of crossing.

Does intra-disciplinary historic preservation scholarship address the exigent issues of practice? Exploring the character and impact of preservation knowledge production in relation to critical heritage studies, equity, and social justice

ABSTRACT This paper seeks to understand the relationship, in historic preservation, between equity/social justice and the field’s intra-disciplinary scholarship by using a critical heritage studies lens. Intra-disciplinary scholarship is defined as the scholarly literature produced by the 58 tenured and tenure-track faculty associated with historic preservation degree programmes in the United States through the end of 2018. A content analysis of this literature shows a general lack of engagement by authors on issues related to the public’s needs, including topics related to justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion. A citation analysis of this literature reveals meagre faculty productivity and low impact for intra-disciplinary preservation scholarship. In order for the field to sustain itself, it needs to reconsider its anti-intellectual tendencies, increase its socially relevant scholarly publications, and embrace more critical, people-centred approaches.

Accurate face rig approximation with deep differential subspace reconstruction

To be suitable for film-quality animation, rigs for character deformation must fulfill a broad set of requirements. They must be able to create highly stylized deformation, allow a wide variety of controls to permit artistic freedom, and accurately reflect the design intent. Facial deformation is especially challenging due to its nonlinearity with respect to the animation controls and its additional precision requirements, which often leads to highly complex face rigs that are not generalizable to other characters. This lack of generality creates a need for approximation methods that encode the deformation in simpler structures. We propose a rig approximation method that addresses these issues by learning localized shape information in differential coordinates and, separately, a subspace for mesh reconstruction. The use of differential coordinates produces a smooth distribution of errors in the resulting deformed surface, while the learned subspace provides constraints that reduce the low frequency error in the reconstruction. Our method can reconstruct both face and body deformations with high fidelity and does not require a set of well-posed animation examples, as we demonstrate with a variety of production characters.
