Study of the nutritional requirements of sugar cane on a Jamaican estate necessitated simultaneous experimentation with five manurial factors: sulphate of ammonia, superphosphate, muriate of potash, bagasse, and filter press mud. By adopting a one-third replication of a 35 factorial scheme, each factor could be tested at single and double levels for comparison with the absence of the factor.The structure and confounding system of the design adopted have been described and the method of computing the analysis of variance has been explained. Fractional replication introduces special problems of interpretation, and this experiment illustrates how they may be resolved. Each fertilizer clearly benefited the crop, and several interactions appeared; some ambiguity of meaning is an inevitable concomitant of fractional replication, so that care was needed in order to assign effects to the right causes. The most clearly marked effects were:(i) Without phosphate, nitrogen failed to produce any response; where phosphatic manuring was adequate the crop responded well to nitrogen.(ii) Superphosphate and filter press mud were practically interchangeable as sources of phosphate.(iii) Bagasse appears to act as a source of potash; the interaction of responses is not very clearly established, but little extra response to artificial potash occurred when bagasse was given.(iv) No evidence was obtained that the double level of any fertilizer was superior to the single.There was also a suggestion of a reduced superphosphate response in the presence of bagasse.If a recommendation on manuring were to be based on this experiment, it would be that a maximum of 3 cwt. sulphate of ammonia per acre be used with either 4 cwt. 18% superphosphate and 1 cwt. muriate of potash per acre or 10 tons filter press mud and 20 tons bagasse per acre. In reality, of course, no attempt ought to be made to determine a general manurial policy from results of a single year of experimentation on plant cane at one place.The experiment should be regarded rather as typical of what can be done than as a complete investigation of manurial needs.

PURPOSE: To measure the healed areas of osteochondral defects produced in femoral condyles of rabbits filled with biopolymer sugar cane gel and to compare these with those of the control group at 90, 120 and 180 days. METHODS: A study was made of 16 New Zealand rabbits, 6 and 7 months old, weighing between 2 and 2.5 kg. Defects of 3.2 x 4 mm were made, with trephine, in the femoral condyles of the right and left knees. As to the study group defects of the medial and lateral condyles of the right knee were used which were filled with Biopolymer Sugar Cane Gel; as to the Control Group defects of the medial and lateral condyles of the left t knees were used which were left open for natural healing. The defects were analyzed at 90, 120 and 180 days after surgery. After euthanasia, the knees were removed and fixed in Bouin's solution for later digital photographic documentation with a digital camera. The areas healed were measured in both the study and control groups using the images obtained from an Image-J® program. Statistical analysis was conducted using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test. RESULTS: There were no significant differences between the means of the healed areas in the study and control groups at 90, 120 and 180 days after surgery. CONCLUSION: The dimension of the healed areas of the defects treated with the biopolymer sugar-cane gel in the study group was similar to those of the control group, which healed naturally.

Abstract Study Objectives Previous studies were inconsistent with regard to the association of sleep dysfunction on the brain’s gray matter volume (GMV). The current study set out to investigate if there is a moderating effect of sex on the relationship between sleep quality in healthy individuals and GMV. Methods We applied voxel-based morphometry in 1,074 young adults of the “Human Connectome Project.” An analysis of variance with the factors “sleep quality” (good/poor according to the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, cutoff >5) and “sex” (male, female) on GMV was conducted. Additionally, linear relationships between sleep quality and GMV were tested. Results The analysis of variance yielded no main effect for sleep quality, but an interaction between sex and sleep quality for the right superior frontal gyrus. Post hoc t-tests showed that female good sleepers in comparison to female poor sleepers had larger GMV in the right parahippocampal gyrus extending to the right hippocampus (whole-brain family-wise error [FWE]-corrected), as well as smaller GMV in the right inferior parietal lobule (whole-brain FWE-corrected) and the right inferior temporal gyrus (whole brain FWE-corrected). There were no significant effects when comparing male good sleepers to male poor sleepers. Linear regression analyses corroborated smaller GMV in the right parahippocampal gyrus in women with poor sleep quality. Conclusions Poor sleep quality was associated with altered GMV in females, but not in males. Future studies are needed to investigate the neurobiological mechanisms that underlie the sex differences in the association of sleep quality and brain differences found in this study.

This experiment was designed to investigate the effect of learning on the free recall of letters presented tachistoscopically either to the left visual field, the right visual field, or identically and simultaneously to both visual fields. A modified Shine-Bower analysis of variance was used to analyze S's performance. The results indicate that initially, in accord with previous research, the right visual field is superior to the left visual field in performance, but that this superiority tends to reduce across trials and practically disappears in the later trials. Also, the right visual field condition is not appreciably better in performance than the condition with both visual fields.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of meatball tapioca packaging with the use of polyethylene (PE) plastic and Nilon plastic packaged through vacuum and non-vacuum packaging in cold storage. As well as to get the right type of packaging in its use on the quality of tapioca meatballs. The tests carried out included water content tests and organoleptic tests. The statistical analysis method used was a completely randomized design (CRD) to get better results and there were no significant errors. The study was conducted using RAL with 4 treatments and 2 treatments. Data processing was carried out using SPSS (Statistical Product and Service Solutions) software using the ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) method and Duncan's further test for moisture content testing and using Kruskall Walls and further testing with Mann-Whitney for organoleptic tests on appearance, aroma and texture. The organoleptic followed the SNI standard for Meatballs with 10 panelists not being tested. Based on the research conducted, it was found that the lowest water content was the use of polyethylene (PE) packaging with a vacuum packaging technique with a value of 2.35. The results for organoleptic testing, which can be guaranteed in terms of appearance, smell and treatment are the best by using polyethylene packaging, with packaging techniques and Nilon packaging types with vacuum packaging techniques which are able to store well until the 8th day.

The main aim of this investigation was to determine the effect of high contextual interference (HCI) and low contextual interference (LCI) on motor learning of falling techniques. Thirty-five kinesiology students (21 males and 14 females; mean ± SD, age = 19.4 ± 0.69 years) were randomly assigned to the HCI or LCI practice group. The participants’ task was to learn two judo falling techniques on both sides over 3 weeks. The two-way analysis of variance found no difference between LCI and HCI in the performance at the pretest, posttest, retention, and transfer. Both groups improved posttest and retention performance. Finally, differences were found for both groups between the falling performance in the posttest and the application test (except for the right yoko ukemi fall in the HCI). Lower application test scores led to the conclusion that the 3-week treatment was insufficient to reach the application level of the falling techniques.

Abstract Potentially toxic elements (PTE’s) are of great concern in steel mill wastes. Therefore, in other to use them as potential fertilizers in soil, risk assessments are needed. Three steel mill wastes were tested as possible amendments for soils at six different doses (0; 0,5; 1; 2; 4; 8; 16 t ha-1): Phosphate mud (PM), Metallurgical press residue (MPR) and Filter press mud (FPM) during rice cultivation in a pot experiment in a Haplic Gleisol. Analysis on rice tissues, including roots, shoots, husk and grains were conducted and contents of Cu, Cd, Ni, Zn, Mn and Pb were assessed. Translocation and bioaccumulation factors were calculated for each element. In general, PTE’s are more accumulated in roots and greater contents of Zn and Mn were found, while the lowest ones were found for Pb, probably due to its lack of functional roles during plants development. Higher translocation was observed for Mn, which is associated to the redox conditions of rice cultivation and the high mobility of this element under this condition. Application of steel mill wastes can increase PTE’s bioavailability and translocation factors, especially PM, but all of the wastes reveal a high hazard index.
