With the need of a large-scale seedling production, the application of purple nutsedge extract may represent a promising alternative, contributing to the fruit species propagation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of nutsedge extract on the survival rate, rooting and biomass of acerola’s mini-cuttings. The experimental design was a completely randomized block, with a 5x2 factorial arrangement (five aqueous purple nutsedge extracts of nutsedge (0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%) and two types of mini-cuttings, a pair of entire leaves and a pair of half leaves) resulting in 10 treatments with 5 repetitions and 8 mini-cuttings per repetition. The evaluations were performed at 75 days after planting, when destructive analysis were carried out for morphological characteristics. The evaluates variables were mini-cuttings survival percentage, percentage of mini-cuttings with sprouts, percentage of mini-cuttings with callus, percentage of minicuttings with roots, root system length, shoot dry mass, root dry mass, total dry biomass and the ratio between shoot and root dry mass. For the experiment conditions, the nutsedge extract positively influenced the survival percentage and percentage of sprouting of acerola’s mini-cuttings, however the extract application did not influence the mini-cuttings biomass of, being the results observed with or without the cut on mini-cuttings leaves.

This paper reviews the various devices employed to meter passengers into or out of an automatic fare collection system, and discusses some methods of fare collection, with particular reference to the ‘stored fare’ system. It is suggested that the stored fare concept might be the most appropriate as it would not only be sufficiently adequate to fulfil the requirements of commuters in small- or large-scale networks but would also minimize fraudulent attempts at fare evasion. To effect a more rigid control over passengers in an automatic fare paying system, the paper also discusses certain modifications that will be necessary in station layouts.

Solargenix Energy is currently constructing a 64-MWe parabolic trough solar plant in Eldorado Valley, Nevada, just south of Las Vegas. As part of the preparation for construction and operation of the new utility-scale solar plant, Solargenix has collaborated with UNLV and NREL to build a collector test row. The test row is serving as a platform for field testing advanced parabolic trough components before their large-scale deployment. The test row consists of two Solargenix Solar Collector Assemblies (SCAs); each SCA has 12 collector modules (space frames and mirrors). This facility has been used to field test new Solargenix designs for first and second generation collector space frames, advanced reflectors, advanced local controllers (AdLoCs), a hydraulic-based drive system, receiver support arms, low-cost injection-molded bearings, ball joints and collector support pylons. The test-row facility also has equipment for monitoring the following weather data: direct normal irradiance, dry bulb temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and precipitation. Data logging equipment is used to record and track weather data as well as SCA parameters. Site instrumentation is solar-powered (photovoltaics) and uses cellular technology to transmit data to a web-based data collection system. This paper describes construction of this facility, the installation of the data-collection system and some data collected to date.

The paper selected the ZIGBEE technology to build river model wireless network by analogy, and based on mesh network structure of ZIGBEE, integrated the velocity data transmitting apparatus and router, to make the data transfer farther, and the reliability higher, to meet velocity collection need of the large scale river model . Herein a collection system on flow velocity was developed based in Visual Basic, which established the corresponding relationship of the velocity measurement position and actual measurement section and improved automation of data management by the automatic identification on the ZIGBEE number. The practical application revealed that the river model collection system on flow velocity based on the ZIGBEE would meet the needs on the velocity collection with a wider scope, showed more flexible networking and higher reliability, and finally improved the efficiency of the river model experiments.

BackgroundCo-morbidity is common among patients with eating disorders (ED) and some previous studies have reported a prevalence of over 80%. However, research in the area has been sparse and no previous studies include both children and adults, and both genders.MethodsData from the Stepwise quality control database, a large-scale Internet based data collection system for specialized ED care in Sweden, were used. The database includes data from children and adults and both genders. Stepwise contains structured diagnostic interviews for ED- and other DSM-IV Axis I diagnostics (the Structured Eating Disorder Interview and the M.I.N.I.Kid and SCID-I interviews). Part one is performed by trained staff and contains SEDI and SCID-I. Part two is made up of self-rating questionnaires and contains EDE-Q, and CPRS. The system is used in 32 treatment units (in and out patients) and comprises up to date1917 patients from all over Sweden.Results96,4% of the patients with ED was women and 3,6% were men. 74,8% of the patients with ED also had at least one other Axis I disorder. The most common type of diagnosis was anxiety (61%) followed by mood disorder (56%). 19% had substance use disorders. No gender differences regarding co-morbidity or specific ED diagnosis were observed.ConclusionThis study confirms previous results showing that the prevalence in co-morbidity is high among patients with ED. The high level of co-morbidity in patients with ED may change the approach in treatment and calls for more tailored treatment programs.
