Data on historical evolution of different crop cultivars in seventy years
were further analyzed and big and small cycle of improvement of yield ability,
alternating cycle improvement among number of ear per unit area, seed weight
per ear, light absorption coefficient in community (or plant type), was first
found. Each of big cycle was forty years. First big cycle from 1940 to late
1970, cross breeding was conducted on basis of arrangement and evaluation
of local variety under situation of mainta...

Propolis is a product elaborated by honey bees ( Apis) and comprises plant resins, bee wax, glandular secretions of
the worker bees and pollen grains. Geopropolis is a product elaborated
by stingless bees and comprises similar compounds of honey bees and soil, mud,
clay, earth or sand. The present study intends to distinguish between propolis
and geopropolis using pollen analysis. A total of 12 samples were obtained in
the Southern Brazilian macro-region and processed by standard meli...

Most literatures prefer loan-to-value ratios (LTV) decisions in supply
chain finance (SCF) on the way of profit maximization. This paper attempts to
discuss the relationship between LTV and market risk of the loan in inventory
financing of SCF from the perspective of value at risk (VaR) for the critical
value of LTV corresponding to extreme value of loan VaR to prevent the bank
from the risks caused by LTV decisions under the extreme position of
price-decline in commodity market. Different from ...

The local extension of olfactory groove meningioma into the paranasal
sinuses and nasal cavity eroding underlying bone in young patients is
considered as an unusual and extremely rare event. We report the case of a 25-year-old
female of primary growth of olfactory groove meningioma extension to left ethmoidal
sinus and nasal cavity, presented with sudden onset of seizure after delivering
a baby. Although olfactory groove meningioma can grow to extreme size with
unnoticed symptoms, frequent nasal...

Theory of Reasoned Action was formulated by social psychologist [1]. The theory resulted from attitude research using the Expectancy Value Models. Even though this theory can be applied in studying a number of research cases in Information Systems discourse, it has not been extensively used, and in cases where it has been used, it has mainly set the stage for other theories such as Technology Acceptance Model, Unified Theory of Acceptance and Utilization of Technology and Innovation Diffusion Th...

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health problem.
Delay in tuberculosis diagnosis may worsen the disease and increase
transmission within the general population. This study estimated the prevalence
of diagnosis delay and its determinants. Objective: To measure the magnitude of
patient and health service delay and identify the factors associated with the
delay. Methodology: A facility based cross-sectional study design was conducted
at the three hospitals of Arsi Zone from Dece...

We administrate the cognitive reflection test devised by Frederick to a
sample of 483 undergraduates and discriminate the sample to consider selected
demographic characteristics. For the sake of robustness, we take two extra
versions that present cues for removing the automatic (but wrong) answers
suggested by the test. We find a participant’s gender and religious attitude to
matter for the test performance on the three versions. Males score
significantly higher than females, and so do atheists ...

Vanadium or its alloy-based hydrides are intensively studied at the
moment with regard to their use as hydrogen absorbents. Most experiments were
carried out using “bulk” materials. This paper uses ion beam-assisted deposition technology (IBAD) to create
thin-film nanocrystalline VN x-H y hydrogen storages. The
transmission electron microscopy and
scanning electron microscopy were
used to study the initial stages of the film formation. The main mechanisms of
the formation of ...

Introduction: Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome type B is a congenital
condition involving abnormal electrical conduction between the atria and the
ventricles that provide an accessory pathway (AP) for a re-entrant tachycardia
circuit. Background: This case report illustrates a 28- year-old male who presented
with multiple episodes of rapid, regular palpitations associated with dizziness
and nausea. These episodes of palpitations often resolve spontaneously.
Physical examination revealed norm...

We prepared Cr 2O 3-Ta 2O 5 composite films using our RF magnetron co-sputtering method for the first time.
X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the
films annealed at 700℃, 800℃, 900℃, and 1000℃ were evaluated. From their XRD
patterns, the Cr 2O 3- Ta 2O 5 film
annealed at 700℃ seemed to be
almost amorphous, and the one annealed at 800℃ seemed to be hexagonal Ta 2O 5...
