Microbial and Biochemical Biofungicides Ineffective Against Alternaria Black Spot on Organic Kale
No full textIn South Carolina, the disease black spot on kale is caused by the fungi Alternaria brassicicola and A. japonica. Because all kale cultivars are presumed to be susceptible, organic producers may apply biofungicides to prevent or manage black spot. Microbial and biochemical biofungicides were tested in the greenhouse (12 products) and the field (10 products) against black spot caused by both Alternaria spp. on organically produced kale. Thereafter, three biofungicides (copper hydroxide, potassium silicate, and Reynoutria sachalinensis extract) were tested in the field on three kale cultivars. Although several biofungicides reduced black spot in the greenhouse compared with the water-treated control, no biofungicides did so in the field even though they were applied preventatively before plants were inoculated. Biofungicides also did not increase the weight of healthy leaves compared with the water-treated control in any field experiment. Conversely, two biofungicides that increased the severity and incidence of black spot in the greenhouse, B. amyloliquefaciens F727 and potassium bicarbonate, reduced weights of healthy leaves in the field. On average, curly kale cultivar Winterbor had fewer diseased leaves than curly kale cultivar Darkibor, and lacinato kale cultivar Toscano had fewer diseased leaves than curly kale. Winterbor also consistently produced greater healthy leaf weight than Darkibor. Biopesticides are not recommended against black spot on organic kale.

THE STUDY OF RIVER EXTRACTION TECHNIQUES AND METHODS USING REMOTE SENSING
No full textIn this paper, Methods and technology of river Extraction are studied. First DEM with K means, Hill Climbing, and Thresholding. Then different technics like NDWI, pixel-based (supervised and unsupervised) classification and object-based classification. Then a new water body extraction model was developed using the advantages of the OBIA and the NDWI. The need for this kind of method comes from the fact that it is hard for pixel-based classification methods and th NDWI method to separate water from another object that has a low albedo, and since it is impossible to separate them by their spectral differences, we have decided to include the NDWI within the object-based method

Evaluation of slip resistant plates for roadway applications
No full textThe presented study aims at evaluating the performance of slip resistant plates used in roadway construction to cover trenches, ditches, and potholes. Characteristics of the plate, including the surface friction, corrosion susceptibility, and resistance to abrasion are evaluated. Comparisons based on those attributes among various types of plates are conducted. The merit of the presented study mainly lies in the methodology and techniques adopted in evaluating the plates rather than ranking their performance. A customized corrosion tank built according to ASTM standards is used to apply salt fog spray on all the plates to induce corrosion. Surface friction is measured using the British Pendulum Tester for both uncorroded plates and corroded plates. To evaluate the abrasion resistance, the surfaces are subjected to wear and abrasion induced by repetitive wheel trafficking applied using the one third-scale Model Mobile Load Simulator. The drop in surface friction as a function of degree of corrosion and loading cycles is measured at regular intervals to evaluate the resistance to abrasion for each plate. Recommendations for improving the durability of the plates with welded deposits are suggested.

No full textThe present study investigates the impact of agmatine, a neuromodulator with neuroprotective and anxiolytic properties, on behavioral changes associated with prenatal ethanol exposure in rats. The research focuses on the vulnerability of adolescents to alcohol-related problems and explores the potential link between prenatal alcohol exposure, anxiety, and adolescent alcohol use. The study also delves into the neurotoxic effects of ethanol on social behavior, cognitive function, and emotional regulation. The pregnant (GD12) Sprague Dawley rats were exposed to ethanol 2.5 g/kg, 20% v/v followed by a second i.p. injection of 1.25 g/kg ethanol and administered agmatine, along with its modulators, during adolescence. The results reveal that prenatal ethanol exposure induces behavioral changes such as increased locomotor activity, anxiety, social interaction deficits, and depression-like behavior. Agmatine administration, particularly at doses of 40 and 80 mg/kg, mitigates these effects, indicating its potential therapeutic role. Moreover, agmatine treatment improves recognition memory impaired by ethanol exposure and reduces oxidative stress, emphasizing its neuroprotective properties. In conclusion, the study suggests that agmatine holds promise in addressing the behavioural and neurochemical alterations induced by prenatal ethanol exposure during adolescence. The findings contribute to understanding the potential therapeutic capabilities of agmatine in mitigating the adverse consequences of early alcohol exposure on brain function and behaviour
Maximum elongation promoted as a shade-avoidance response by blue light is related to deactivated phytochrome: A comparison with red light in four microgreen species
No full textTo clarify detailed pattern of responses to blue light associated with decreasing phytochrome activity, the growth and morphology traits of arugula, cabbage, mustard, and kale microgreens were compared under the treatments: 1) R: pure red light; 2) B: pure blue light; 3) BRF0, 4) BRF2, 5) BRF4, and 6) BRF6: unpure blue lights created by mixing B with low-level (6%) R, and further adding 0, 2, 4, and 6 μmol m−2 s−1 of far-red light, respectively. The calculated phytochrome photostationary state (PPS) value, indicating phytochrome activity, gradually decreased in the order of R (0.89), BRF0 (0.69), BRF2 (0.65), BRF4 (0.63), BRF6 (0.60), and B (0.50). Generally, the elongation growth (including stem extension rate, hypocotyl length, or petiole length) under “blue” lights increased with the decreasing PPS values, showing the highest and lowest sensitivity for arugula and mustard, respectively. However, the elongation promoted by “blue” lights gradually became saturated once the PPS values decreased below 0.60, a level to deactivate phytochrome. The other plant traits such as biomass allocation, and plant color varied as increasing shade-avoidance responses to “blue” lights with decreasing PPS values relative to red light, and reached saturation at a similar PPS value as elongation. The response sensitivity was the highest in elongation growth for arugula and cabbage, and in plant color for kale and mustard. This suggests that deactivated phytochrome contributes to the maximum elongation promotion as a shade-avoidance response induced by blue light, although the response sensitivity varies with plant traits and species.The presentation of the authors' names and (or) special characters in the title of the pdf file of the accepted manuscript may differ slightly from what is displayed on the item page.
