Performance of Thermal Insulation Covering Materials to Reduce Postharvest Losses in Okra
The efficiency of different thermal insulation covers in minimizing temperature fluctuations in cool chain management was investigated to reduce postharvest loss and maintain okra quality during storage and transportation. The four thermal insulation covering materials: (1) heat reflective sheet with thin nonwoven (HRS + TNNW), (2) heat reflective sheet with thick nonwoven (HRS + TKNW), (3) metalized Tyvek® (MTyvek) and (4) metalized foam sheet (MFS) were studied and compared with perforated linear low-density polyethylene (P-LLDPE) as the typical handing package for okra distribution alongside no covering as the control. The material properties, transpiration rate, vital heat, temperature profiles (air and pulp temperatures), relative humidity, mass loss and incidence of decay were determined throughout a simulated supply chain. Results exhibited that HRS + TNNW and HRS + TKNW covers had the lowest thermal heat energy (Qx) and moderate R-value. These two covers maintained low temperature fluctuation with the lowest rate of air and pulp temperature changes, reflecting in lowest mass loss and decay in okra. The HRS + TNNW cover yielded less decay (1%) in okra, compared to commercial covers; MTyvek (16%) and MFS (9%). Results showed that HRS + TNNW exhibited great potential as a thermal insulation cover to reduce postharvest loss in okra (5%) compared to typical handling (11–18%) and could be considered as alternative material to reduce the use of foam sheets in cool chain management distribution packaging of okra under ambient environment conditions
Measurement of asymmetries in decays
A search for violation in and decays is presented using the full Run 1 and Run 2 data samples of collisions collected with the LHCb detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV. For the Run 2 data sample, the -violating asymmetries are measured to be and , where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. Following significant improvements in the evaluation of systematic uncertainties compared to the previous LHCb measurement, the Run 1 dataset is reanalyzed to update the corresponding results. When combining the Run 2 and updated Run 1 measurements, the final results are found to be and , constituting the most precise measurements of these asymmetries to date.A search for CP violation in Λb0→pK- and Λb0→pπ- decays is presented using the full Run 1 and Run 2 data samples of pp collisions collected with the LHCb detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb-1 at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV.

Measurement of φ(1020) meson production in fixed-target p Ne collisions at √s_NN = 68.5 GeV
The first measurement of φ(1020) meson production in fixed-target p Ne collisions at √s_NN = 68.5 GeV is presented. The φ(1020) mesons are reconstructed in their K+ K− decay in a data sample consisting of proton collisions on neon nuclei at rest, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 21.7 ± 1.4 nb^−1, collected by the LHCb detector at CERN. The φ(1020) production cross-section in the centre-of-mass rapidity range of −1.8 < y* < 0 and transverse momentum range of 800 < p_T < 6500 MeV/c is found to be σ = 182.7 ± 2.7(stat.) ± 14.1(syst) μb/nucleon. A double-differential measurement of the cross-section is also provided in four regions of rapidity and six regions of transverse momentum of the φ(1020) meson and compared with the predictions from Pythia and EPOS4, which are found to underestimate the experimental values

Diagnosis Rostrum short, straight or slightly convex, reaching to third segment of antennular peduncle or slightly beyond end of this segment; rostral formula 3–5+5–8/1–3, dorsal teeth more widely spaced posteriorly than anteriorly. Antennal spine sharp, hepatic spine small, situated below and behind antennal spine. Eyes well developed, large, about 0.25 times as long as carapace. Scaphocerite 2.7 times as long as broad, with straight outer margin. Epistome as in figure 19B. First to third abdominal sternites (figure 19C) with transverse ridge, with median tooth, that of first abdominal sternum largest, that of second small, that of third absent. First pereiopod with fingers slightly shorter than palm, chela 0.6 times as long as carpus. Male second pereiopods unequal in length; major male second pereiopod distinctively longer than body, covered with dense tufts of velvety pubescence on palm and fingers; fingers as long as or slightly longer than palm, with 7–10 large teeth on both cutting edges, not gaping when fingers closed; chela 4.8 times as long as carpus, carpus 1.4 times as long as wide. Third pereiopod reaching beyond scaphocerite by length of entire dactylus; propodus 2.6–3.0 times as long as dactylus. Uropodal diaeresis with a spine about half length of outer angle. Ovigerous females with eggs 1.0–1.1× 1.4–1.7 mm. Remarks With regards to its relatively larger eye, small egg size, and the fewer number of larger teeth and denticles on the cutting edges of the fingers, M. forcipatum can easily be separated from its closest congeners, M. hirsutimanus and M. eriocheirum (see Remarks on M. hirsutimanus and M. eriocheirum for details). Macrobrachium forcipatum can be distinguished from M. pilimanus by the form of rostrum, postorbital teeth occupying one-third the carapace length (versus 0.14–0.20 times), more widely spaced postorbital teeth (versus more closely spaced postorbital than anterior dorsal rostal teeth) and the fewer number of teeth on the cutting edges of the fingers of the male second pereiopod (7–10 versus 14–17). M. forcipatum is distributed in northern peninsular Malaysia and southern Thailand.Published as part of Cai, Y., Naiyanetr, P. & Ng, P. K.

The spin-dependent structure function of the proton g(1)(p) and a test of the Bjorken sum rule
Alekseev MG, Alexakhin VY, Alexandrov Y, et al. The spin-dependent structure function of the proton g(1)(p) and a test of the Bjorken sum rule. Phys.Lett. B. 2010;690(5):466-472.The inclusive double-spin asymmetry. A(1)(p), has been measured at COMPASS in deep-inelastic polarised muon scattering off a large polarised NH3 target. The data, collected in the year 2007, cover the range Q(2) > 1 (GeV/c)(2), 0.004 < x < 0.7 and improve the statistical precision of g(1)(p)(x) by a factor of two in the region x < 0.02. The new proton asymmetries are combined with those previously published for the deuteron to extract the non-singlet spin-dependent structure function g(1)(NS)(x. Q(2)). The isovector quark density, Delta q(3)(x, Q(2)), is evaluated from a NLO QCD fit of g(1)(NS). The first moment of Delta q(3) is in good agreement with the value predicted by the Bjorken sum rule and corresponds to a ratio of the axial and vector coupling constants vertical bar g(A)/g(V)vertical bar = 1.28 +/- 0.07 (stat.) +/- 0.10 (syst.).

Observation of the decay B0s → K0p(p)over-bar and measurement of the B0(s) → K0p(p)over-bar branching fractions
A study of the charmless baryonic decays Bs0→K0pp ̄ is presented, where Bs0 denotes either a B0 or a Bs0 meson. The analysis is based on proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb−1. The decay Bs0→K0pp ̄ is observed for the first time, with a measured branching fraction of (9.14 ± 1.69 ± 0.90 ± 0.33 ± 0.20) × 10−7 and a significance of 5.6σ. The uncertainties respectively account for statistical and systematic contributions, the precision of the branching fraction of the normalisation channel B0→ K0π+π− and the fragmentation fraction ratio fs/fd. The branching fraction determined for B0→K0pp ̄ is (2.82 ± 0.08 ± 0.12 ± 0.10) × 10−6, which is the most precise measurement to date
Gluon polarization in the nucleon from quasi-real photoproduction of high-p hadron pairs
We present a determination of the gluon polarization DeltaG/G in the nucleon, based on the helicity asymmetry of quasi-real photoproduction events, Q2 < 1 (GeV/c)2, with a pair of large transverse-momentum hadrons in the final state. The data were obtained by the COMPASS experiment at CERN using a 160 GeV polarized muon beam scattered on a polarized 6LiD target. The helicity asymmetry for the selected events is A/D = 0.002 ± 0.019(stat) ± 0.003(syst). From this value, we obtain in a leading-order QCD analysis DeltaG/G = 0.024 ± 0.089(stat) ± 0.057(syst) at xg = 0.095 and μ2 ~ 3 (GeV/c)2
