Second-generation females of a cyst-forming nematode, Heterodera trifolii Goffart, 1932, from a mixed population of this species and the sugar-beet nematode, H. schachtii Schmidt, 1871, produced small, normal, giant, and abnormal second-stage larvae. The giant larvae averaged 670 μ in length, while the small larvae had an average body length of 404 μ. Abnormalities in the larvae occurred mostly in the tail development. It is suggested that the sperm of H. schachtii may have affected the normal chromosome complement of the H. trifolii oöcytes during oögenesis and was thereby responsible for the production of the different types of larvae recorded.

A change in growth rate of the halibut from the Portlock-Albatross grounds has occurred since the early 1930's. It is possible to measure this change in growth by studying the otoliths of fish taken by the commercial fishery in subsequent years. The calculation of body lengths from otolith measurements has provided a technique of reconstructing the growth patterns of each year-class. This method has been tested using the otoliths of recovered tagged halibut. The percentage deviations from average body length at each age demonstrate an increase in average length with time over the period 1920–1956. This increase is not exhibited among young fish of ages 1 through 4; it starts approximately with age 5 and continues throughout the older ages, where it is pronounced.

Within Peter the Great Bay, common icefish Salangichthys microdon forms commercially valuable aggregations in two areas of the Amur Bay and in one area of the Ussuri Bay. It spawns in the internal estuaries of the rivers entered to the bays and in the external estuarine zones in the tops of the bays, mostly on small pebble grounds from late April to late May and feeds in the bays waters. Data on its size and weight composition were obtained in 2017–2018 both from the Amur Bay (for spawning period) and from the Ussuri Bay (for feeding period). During the spawning (on May 6 and May 18), the body length was 59–90 mm, on average 74.9 mm, and the weight was about 750 mg; sex ratio males : females was 1.0 : 0.8. During the feeding, the average body length was 66.8 mm.

Godzilliognomus schrami, a new species of the crustacean class Remipedia, Yager, 1981 is the second species assigned to the genus. The new species, with an average body length of 6.8 mm, was collected from an anchialine cave on the Bahamian island of Eleuthera. Godzilliognomus schrami can be distinguished from the other species in the genus, Godzilliognomus frondosus Yager, 1989 by narrower and less trapezoidal tergites, frontal filaments that differ regarding the shape and insertion of the medial process, and dorsal antennular rami composed of only ten segments.

The present study was undertaken to observe morphometric and carcass characteristics of Jaunpuri goat. The survey plan was conducted in two districts viz. Allahabad and Jaunpur of its native tracts in Uttar Pradesh. The overall average body weights of male goats of the age groups 0-3, 3-6, 6-9, 9-12 and above12 months were observed as 5.50±0.327, 12.07±0.598, 19.62±0.738, 21.92±0.571 and 30.44±0.978 kg respectively. The overall average body length of male goats of the age groups 0-3, 3-6, 6-9, 9-12, and above 12 months were observed as 38.63±1.762, 48.55±2.090, 58.77±0.652, 67.23±0.777 and 67.56±0.747 cm. The overall average height of male goats of the age groups 0-3, 3-6, 6-9, 9-12 and above 12 months were observed as 41.63±1.945, 53.36±2.094, 66.23±1.051, 72.69±0.664 and 72.31±0.893 cm, respectively. The corresponding values for females were 44.24±0.825, 50.38±0.836, 62.81±0.466, 69.14±0.387 and 69.00±0.691 cm. The mean value of horn size of male goats of the age groups 0-3, 3-6, 6-9, 9-12 and above 12 months were observed as 1.94±0.346, 2.73±0.449, 5.54±0.584,5.85±0.696 and 7.56±0.381 cm respectively. The respective averages for females were 1.77±0.171, 2.60±0.173, 4.94±0.322, 6.53±0.424 and 6.79±0.421 cm. The results revealed no significant differences in average slaughter weight between the sexes of the same age groups but it varied significantly (P less than 0.05) in different age groups like 6, 9 and 12 month of age.

In this article, the authors investigate the enhanced two stage MMSE (TS-MMSE) equalizer in bit-interleaved coded FBMC/OQAM system which gives a tradeoff between complexity and performance, since error correcting codes limits error propagation, so this allows the equalizer to remove not only ICI but also ISI in the second stage. The proposed equalizer has shown less design complexity compared to the other MMSE equalizers. The obtained results show that the probability of error is improved where SNR gain reaches 2 dB measured at BER compared with ICI cancellation for different types of modulation schemes and ITU Vehicular B channel model. Some simulation results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed equalizer.

In agricultural production, weed removal is an important part of crop cultivation, but inevitably, other plants compete with crops for nutrients. Only by identifying and removing weeds can the quality of the harvest be guaranteed. Therefore, the distinction between weeds and crops is particularly important. Recently, deep learning technology has also been applied to the field of botany, and achieved good results. Convolutional neural networks are widely used in deep learning because of their excellent classification effects. The purpose of this article is to find a new method of plant seedling classification. This method includes two stages: image segmentation and image classification. The first stage is to use the improved U-Net to segment the dataset, and the second stage is to use six classification networks to classify the seedlings of the segmented dataset. The dataset used for the experiment contained 12 different types of plants, namely, 3 crops and 9 weeds. The model was evaluated by the multi-class statistical analysis of accuracy, recall, precision, and F1-score. The results show that the two-stage classification method combining the improved U-Net segmentation network and the classification network was more conducive to the classification of plant seedlings, and the classification accuracy reaches 97.7%.

Abstract Objective Developing an ontology can help collecting and sharing information in traditional medicine including Persian medicine in a well-defined format. The present study aimed to develop an ontology for gastric dystemperament in the Persian medicine. Methods This was a mixed-methods study conducted in 2019. The first stage was related to providing an ontology requirements specification document. In the second stage, important terms, concepts, and their relationships were identified via literature review and expert panels. Then, the results derived from the second stage were refined and validated using the Delphi method in three rounds. Finally, in the fourth stage, the ontology was evaluated in terms of consistency and coherence. Results In this study, 241 concepts related to different types of gastric dystemperament, diagnostic criteria, and treatments in the Persian medicine were identified through literature review and expert panels, and 12 new concepts were suggested during the Delphi study. In total, after performing three rounds of the Delphi study, 233 concepts were identified. Finally, an ontology was developed with 71 classes, and the results of the evaluation study revealed that the ontology was consistent and coherent. Conclusion In this study, an ontology was created for gastric dystemperament in the Persian medicine. This ontology can be used for designing future systems, such as case-based reasoning and expert systems. Moreover, the use of other evaluation methods is suggested to construct a more complete and precise ontology.
