Management of san jose scale, Quadraspidiotus perniciosus Comstock in apple orchards of Kashmir through horticultural mineral oils

The field experiment, conducted with the objective of examining the efficacy of different concentrations of two oil dormant sprays of Arbofine extra along with standard check (ATSO) to manage san jose scale (Quadraspidiotus Perniciosus Comstock) in delayed dormant season of 2015-16, revealed highest comulative mean mortality of SJS (82.69%) with the application of 2.5 per cent of Arbofine extra followed by 80.71 per cent mortality of SJS with 2.0 per cent of Code-204 as against the standard check (ATSO) applied at 2.5 per cent concentration (80.12%) and the lowest (76.47 per cent) at 1.5 per cent concentration. Two parasitoids, Encarsia pernicious and Aphytis proclia and one predator Chilocorus infernalis were found on SJS twigs from the treated area. Arbofine extra @ 2.5 per cent concentration recorded mean yield (10.0 boxes) of ‘A’ grade followed by 8.33 boxes @ 2.0 per cent concentration.

Comparisons of upper air ozone at a coastal and urban site and the impacts of non-controllable ozone sources

Abstract This study quantified the impact of non-controllable and urban emission sources on the enhancement of ozone (O3) in the troposphere. These enhancements were investigated using data from simultaneous ozonesonde launches at Half Moon Bay (HMB), CA and San Jose (SJ), CA on eleven dates in July and August 2018. The urban O3 enhancement in the SJ vertical profile was derived by subtracting out HMB, which represents baseline O3, from the urban SJ profile. Within the planetary boundary layer (PBL), urban emissions had a large impact on SJ, as SJ O3 was 20–30 ppb higher than HMB for all dates. Above the PBL, most enhancement profiles remained close to zero, indicating little differences aloft between HMB and SJ. The two sites had strong correlation coefficients (CCs), highlighting the influence of baseline O3 on SJ. A major axis regression for all vertical levels between SJ and HMB revealed a slope of 1.00 SJ ppb/HMB ppb and intercept of 0.004 ppb. The percent contribution of mixing layer (ML) O3 to tropospheric O3 and tropospheric O3 to total column O3 demonstrates the predominant influence of baseline O3 on the O3 profile, even over a polluted urban region. The contribution of ML O3 was low for all dates, between 2 and 6%, whereas the tropospheric contribution was 11–18%. These findings emphasize the importance of baseline O3 in regions with reduced vertical mixing; polluted urban air near the surface has minimal impacts on O3 concentrations above the PBL.

Partos y precipitación anual previa en tres ranchos ganaderos del Altiplano Potosino-Zacatecano

Functional relations between calving percentage (y) and total previous year’s rainfall (TPYR, x) were estimated using data from three private cattle ranches in the Potosino-Zacatecano highlands. TPYR data were obtained from the two official weather stations nearest to each ranch and with the same climate type. Using these relations, the calving percentage that occurred in 2015 (a year not included in the estimation of these relations) was predicted and statistically collated for the Laguna Seca (LS), San Jose (SJ) and El Porvenir (EP) ranches. Estimated correlations between calving percentage and rainfall were positive and significant for each ranch. Simple linear regression models were: y=26.2800 + 0.0629 (x) for LS; y=30.2438 + 0.0973 (x) for SJ; and y=23.6172 + 0.0808 (x) for EP. The variation in the calving percentage explained by TPYR was 59.2 % for LS, 62.0 % for SJ and 84.9 % for EP. Calving percentages recorded during 2015 for EP and LS (72.2 and 64.0 %, respectively) were greater than the 95 % confidence intervals, due to various recent improvements in herd reproduction; on the other hand, the calving percentage recorded during 2015 for SJ did fall within this range.

Avaliação da simetria craniana através de imagens de TC cone beam

Objective: The aim of the present study was to compare the right and the left sides of symmetrical individuals´ skull through images generated by cone-beam computed tomography (cbct). Methods: The sample consisted of 35 scans from the 3d-i-cat (imaging sciences international inc., hatfield, usa) of 13 male and 22 female individuals, aged between 8 and 64, who showed acceptable facial symmetry. The images were entered into the invivodental 5.0 software (anatomage, san jose, usa) and positioned analogously to the patient´s head posture to get a lateral cephalometric radiography. Go-me, go-cd, s-cd, co-gn, and co-a linear distances (mm); mego.cd, fma, and gogn. sn angles (degrees), as well as five condyle-glenoid fossa linear distances (mm) were the bilateral variables analyzed. Results: Statistically significant difference between the right and the left sides was only verified when s-cd (mm) was assessed. Conclusion: therefore, there is no need to obtain bilateral values of these variables (except s-cd) to assess the skull of individuals with no evident asymmetries. In relation to s-cd variable, the difficulty to mark the sella point (s) in a 3-dimensional study created inexistent discrepancies between the right and the left condyles position.

Los objetivos del presente estudio fueron: estimar componentes de varianza; calcular heredabilidades (h2) ycorrelaciones genéticas (rg); predecir valores genéticos (VG), y analizar las tendencias a través del tiempo. Se analizó la información de comportamiento en cuatro ganaderías de lidia mexicanas: Los Encinos (ENC), Montecristo (MCR),San José (SJO) y Fernando de la Mora (FMO). La información analizada correspondió a las notas de tienta al caballo(TC), tienta a pie (TP), lidia a caballo (LC) y lidia a pie (LP). El número de observaciones osciló de 154 a 2,369 y el número de animales en los pedigríes varió de 3,246 a 8,962; se realizó un análisis multivariado con el software MTDFREML. Las heredabilidades obtenidas fueron de 0.09±0.05 a 0.47±0.22, y un promedio de 0.28±0.09; la h2 promedio por características fue de 0.33±0.06 para TC y TP, 0.23±0.14 para LC y 0.27±0.12 para LP. Todas las rgfueron positivas y superiores a 0.50; con excepción en TP y LP (0.44±0.38) en FMO y TC y LP (0.28±0.14) en MCR. La rg promedio dentro de ganadería fue de 0.71±0.14 en MCR, 0.77±0.35 en FMO, 0.78±0.18 en ENC y 0.85±0.31en SJO. Las tendencias de los VG fueron positivas y diferentes de cero (P<0.02), excepto en LP de FMO (P>0.05).La ganancia por año, como parte porcentual de la media, osciló de 0.19 % en LC de FMO a 1.5 % en TP de ENC. Las estimaciones de heredabilidad y la variabilidad de los valores genéticos sugieren su utilidad en programas de selección, favoreciendo un mayor progreso genético.

Identification of a major metabolite of danshensu in rat urine and simultaneous determination of danshensu and its metabolite in plasma: application to a pharmacokinetic study in rats.

Danshensu, as the effective component of Salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen), has been widely used in clinical studies for treatment of cardiovascular diseases in China. A new metabolite, 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyllactic acid was isolated from the urine of rats, and its chemical structure was identified by ultraviolet (UV), Infrared Spectroscopy (IR), mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Furthermore, a selective and sensitive high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (HPLC-MS/MS) method was developed for the simultaneous quantification of danshensu and its major metabolite, 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyllactic acid, in rat plasma after oral and intravenous administration of danshensu. The separation was performed on a Hypersil Gold C18 column (150 × 2.1 mm i.d., 3.0 µm, Thermo, San jose CA, USA) with gradient elution using a mobile phase composed of methanol and water (containing 0.1% formic acid) at a flow rate of 0.2 mL/min. Linear detection responses were obtained for danshensu and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyllactic acid ranging from 5 to 10000 ng/mL and 5 to 4000 ng/mL, respectively. The lower limits of quantification (LLOQs) for the two compounds were both 5 ng/mL. The intra-and inter-day precision (R.S.D %) were within 5.61% for the two analytes. The average recoveries of the analytes were greater than 72.43%. The method was proved to be stable during all sample storage, preparation and analytic procedures. This method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic studies of danshensu and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyllactic acid after oral and intravenous administration of danshensu in rats.

Mangrove forest composition and structure in Las Perlas Archipelago, Pacific Panama

Mangrove forest is an important ecosystem that provides many services, but in Panama, as in other countries, they are under threat due to a variety of human activities. Nowadays, large areas of mangroves continue to be lost without been described and lack of management strategies. This study focused on the mangrove structure in the two largest islands, Isla del Rey and Isla San Jose, of Las Perlas Archipelago (LPA), Pacific Panama. Assessment of Landsat satellite imagery revealed loss of mangroves in the LPA of 965ha in the period 1974-1986, and 248ha in the period 1986-2000. The majority of the loss (>77%) from the two study islands was due to timber extraction and agricultural development. In May 2006, permanent plots following the CARICOMP protocol were established at two sites on Isla del Rey (R1 and R2) and one site on Isla San Jose (SJ) where standardized metrics such as species, height and diameter at breast height of adult trees and seedlings were recorded. Forest structure differed at the three sites, although R1 and R2 were most similar. At R1, Laguncularia racemosa was the important species and R2 was dominated by Pelliciera rhizophorae. Examination of the forest structure and classified imagery indicated that these sites are spatially dynamic and appear to be rejuvenating. The forest structure would indicate that the sites have been growth-limited previously by human activities and possibly by other factors. SJ was dominated by Rhizophora mangle and appears to have a mature forest with large adult trees and few seedlings. It does not appear to have shown the same extent of spatial regrowth as the other two sites between 1986 and 2000 and is relatively static. The establishment of permanent plots and monitoring will be useful as part of the management plan, as the LPA shows a variety of mangrove structures and could be subject to further coastal development.

Ultrasound Treatments to Control Surface Pests of Fruit

Durations of ultrasound treatments were evaluated for efficacy in removing or destroying external pests of apples (Malus sylvestris var domestica). Egg hatch of codling moth (Cydia pomonella; Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), was inversely related to time of ultrasound exposure, although egg mortality was less than 60% after 45 min of treatment. Mortality of twospotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae; Acari: Tetranychidae), and western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis; Thysanoptera: Thripidae), was directly related to ultrasound durations; adding detergent to the ultrasound bath increased treatment efficacy. Ultrasound did not remove san jose scale (Quadraspidiotus perniciosus; Homoptera: Diaspididae), from the fruit surface. Ultrasound, which can be incorporated in the packing line, shows promise as a postharvest phytosanitation treatment against external pests.
