1. A study of the adult population of Sagitta elegans Verrill has been made in the waters off Plymouth by weekly collections with the 2-metre stramin ring-trawl hauled obliquely in the daylight.2. Measurements of large samples and a study of the state of development of the gonads has shown that there were apparently four, if not live, broods of S. elegans produced in the year.3. These successive broods were apparently spawning in April-May, June-July, and September, 1930, and February, 1931.4. In the offspring of the September spawning population no gonads were developed during October and November. The male organs started to ripen in December, and the ovaries in January, but the brood did not appear to be fully mature until February.

The absence of systematic records showing the variations of the floating fauna and flora, or plankton, of the Plymouth waters is much to be regretted. My observations on the amount of animal and plant life suspended in the sea from the surface to the bottom would show that in comparison with similar observations made elsewhere, the quantity of plankton in this locality was during the past summer surprisingly small. The absence of data upon which comparisons could be based between the state of the water in this season and that obtaining in former years is all the more to be deplored because the present season has in many respects been a remarkable one. In the first place, the Plymouth mackerel fishery has so far been a complete failure; it has further been found that dog-fishes (both Scyllium and Acanthias) were not obtainable during June and July; and lastly, Aurelia aurita, which in summer is usually common, was extremely scarce in the Sound and tidal waters of Plymouth. If my Burmise that the amount of plankton was for the locality exceptionally small proves correct, then these three salient instances of scarcity of animals which are directly or indirectly dependent on the plankton for their food will suffice to show the importance of a series of more or less continuous observations on the physical and biological condition of the inshore and Channel waters. Were accurate information on these points available, it would in all probability enable us to explain, and we might even in time be able to foresee, the occurrence of so important an event as the exceptionally sporadic appearance of the mackerel in 1892.

Hebes (Veronica spp. in the section Hebe) are ornamental perennials and shrubs grown for their flowers and symmetric, evergreen leaves. They are uncommon in U.S. horticulture and are only produced by a few nurseries regionally (Oregon and Washington). In June, July, and August (2016 to 2021), stems on 1 to 5-year-old Veronica cupressoides, V. ochracea, and V. pinguifolia in five landscape plantings around Benton County, OR (17 plants total, locations 2 to 37 km apart) began to wilt, turn brown, and die. At least nine of the plants originated from a single nursery. Initially, just one or two stems/plant were affected, but eventually the entire plant died. Stem tissues were discolored brown to black internally and the roots were dry and necrotic. Leaves turned brown and brittle, but remained attached. Stems from each plant were disinfested in 0.5% NaOCl (1 min), rinsed in 70% ethanol, and dried (2 min). Pieces (5 mm2) were then plated onto 1/2 strength potato dextrose agar amended with streptomycin (50 mg/liter) and incubated in the dark at 20°C. Three to five days later, greyish-white cultures producing black microsclerotia (75 × 110 µm, n = 50) grew out of all samples. No spores were produced. All isolates were identified as Macrophomina phaseolina by morphology and by ≥99% homology (566-570/571 nt) to the internal transcribed spacer sequence (primers ITS1 and ITS4) from the type specimen (GenBank KF766195) (Hyde et al. 2014). Three representative sequences were deposited in GenBank (MZ726450 to MZ726452). Inoculum was prepared from these isolates by growing cultures in 250 ml of potato dextrose broth on a shaker (125 rpm at 25°C). After 2 weeks, the broth was decanted and the fungal biomass was air dried for 3 days at 25°C before grinding into a powder with a mortar and pestle. Three plants each of 6-month-old V. ochracea 'James Stirling', V. cupressoides 'McKean', and V. pinguifolia 'Sutherlandii' were inoculated with each isolate by rinsing the soil off of the roots with tap water, trimming off 0.5 cm of the roots, and then soaking the rootball in a slurry of 1 g dried inoculum in 500 ml of 0.2% water agar (WA) for 10 minutes (Reyes Gaige et al. 2010). Three plants of each species that were soaked in plain 0.2% WA served as negative controls. Afterwards, plants were potted into soilless media (Metro-Mix 840, Sun Gro Horticulture, Agawam, MA) in 3.5 inch square pots and arranged in a completely randomized design in a greenhouse set at 28/24°C day/night. The experiment was conducted three times. One to three months later, inoculated plants began to turn yellow, wilt, and die whereas all control plants remained healthy. The same pathogen was reisolated from 90% of the inoculated plants, but never from negative controls. M. phaseolina was reported on strawberry in southern Oregon in 2014 (Pscheidt and Ocamb 2021), but has not been reported from locations further north in the state where soil temperatures are cooler. It is unusual that M. phaseolina was isolated from an uncommon host at five different locations in an area of the state where the pathogen was not known to occur. Based on this, and on the number of infected plants originating from a single source, it seems likely that M. phaseolina was accidentally spread on contaminated plants produced by the nursery industry, where the warmer temperatures in production greenhouses would provide a more conducive environment for the pathogen's growth and spread. Growers should keep watch for symptoms of this pathogen in their nurseries.

SummaryBackgroundBeginning in early February 2020, COVID-19 spread across the state of Georgia, leading to 258,354 cumulative cases as of August 25, 2020. The time scale of spreading (i.e., serial interval) and magnitude of spreading (i.e., Rt or reproduction number) for COVID-19, were observed to be heterogenous by demographic characteristics, region and time period. In this study, we examined the COVID-19 transmission in the state of Georgia, United States.MethodsDuring February 1 to July 13, 2020, we identified 4080 transmission pairs using contact information from reports of COVID-19 cases from the Georgia Department of Public Health. We examined how various transmission characteristics were affected by disease symptoms, demographics (age, gender, and race), and time period (during shelter-in-place and after reopening). In addition, we estimated the time course of reproduction numbers during early February–mid-June for all 159 counties in the state of Georgia, using a total of 118,491 reported COVID-19 cases.FindingsOver this period, the serial interval appeared to decrease from 5.97 days in February–April to 4.40 days in June–July. With regard to age, transmission was assortative and patterns of transmission changed over time. COVID-19 mainly spread from adults to all age groups; transmission among and between children and the elderly was found less frequently. Younger adults (20– 50 years old) were involved in the majority of transmissions occurring during or after reopening subsequent to the shelter-in-place period. By mid-July, two waves of COVID-19 transmission were apparent, separated by the shelter-in-place period in the state of Georgia. Counties around major cities and along interstate highways had more intense transmission.InterpretationThe transmission of COVID-19 in the state of Georgia had been heterogeneous by area and changed over time. The shelter-in-place was not long enough to sufficiently suppress COVID-19 transmission in densely populated urban areas connected by major transportation links. Studying local transmission patterns may help in predicting and guiding states in prevention and control of COVID-19 according to population and region.FundingEmory COVID-19 Response Collaborative.Research in contextEvidence before this studyThe ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has caused 37,109,581 cases and 1,070,355 deaths worldwide as of October 11, 2020. We searched PubMed for articles published on and before October 11, 2020 using keywords “novel coronavirus”, “SARS–nCoV–2”, “COVID-19”, “transmission”, “serial interval”, “reproduction number”, and “shelter-in-place”. Few published studies have estimated the serial interval but no study was found that examined the time-varying serial interval. Few studies have examined the transmission patterns between groups with different characteristics. And no study has examined the timevarying reproduction number for COVID-19 and impact of shelter-in-place order at the county level in the United States.Added value of this studyTo our knowledge, this is the first study showing the multiple aspects of COVID-19 transmission, including serial interval, transmission patterns between age, gender, or race groups, and spatiotemporal patterns, based on data from 118,491 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 4080 tracked pairs of infector and infectee. We found that during February–July the serial interval for symptom onset shortened, and the major contribution to the spread of COVID-19 shifted to younger ages (from 40–70 years old in February–April to 20–50 years old in June–July). We also found three to four weeks of the shelter-in-place slowed transmission but was insufficient to prevent transmission into urban and peri-urban counties connected with major transportation.Implications of all the available evidenceThe contracting serial intervals and increasing spread by younger generation show the COVID-19 transmission at county level changes over time. The spatiotemporal patterns of transmission in county level further provide important evidence to guide effective COVID-19 prevention and control measures (e.g., shelter-in-place) in different areas.

Firita records that Yūsuf ‘Ādil āh of Bījāpūr, the founder of the ‘Ādil āhī dynasty, on learning that āh Ismā‘īl I, Ṣafavī (1502–24), had established the ī‘ah religion in Persia, caused the call to prayer and the ut̤bah to be recited, in the month of Ẕi-’l. Ḥijjah, a.h. 908 (June–July, 1502), in the ī‘ah form, and attempted to establish that faith as the state religion of Bījāpūr. He adds that Yūsuf was the first sovereign in India to make such an attempt. This does not necessarily mean that he was the first ī‘ah monarch in India. All that it means is that he was the first monarch of that religion who attempted to force his people to conform to his own faith.

Spot-vegetation 10 day NDVI composites over Orissa state were analysed to study rice crop inventory and condition assessment. A total of 17 images from July to December during the monsoon (kharif) season of 1998 (S1) and 2001 (S2) a drought and normal year, respectively were analysed. A hierarchical decision rule-based approach that successively eliminated data loss, non vegetated land, forest cover, fallow and other crops was adopted for rice inventory. NDVI temporal profiles of rice could distinguish autumn and winter rice. The total monsoon rice area identified by RS in the state was 4.5 M ha in 1998 and 4.05 M ha in 2001 and was within 7 percent of the state level rice estimate given by Directorate of Economic Survey (DES) i.e., 4.26 and 4.22 M ha, respectively. A new profile fit i.e., a six parameter modified Gaussian approach was adopted.  The spectral profile indicated higher mean NDVI at peak growth profile of lowland winter rice (sown in June-July) in 2001-02 compared to 1998-1999. Thus, 2001-2002 rice was seen to be normal while in 1998-1999 a drought affected year. District-wise NDVI profiles of rice were generated and peak NDVI and date at peak profile were found to be correlated with rice yield at district and agro-climatic zone level. Use of rainfall with spectral profile parameters in yield model group of districts or zonal level improved coefficient of determination. This study demonstrates the utility of 1 km and 10 day NDVI composite data for rice crop assessment during monsoon season.

Various authors have emphasized the spatial information resident in an electron micrograph taken with adequately coherent radiation. In view of the completion of at least one such instrument, this opportunity is taken to summarize the state of the art of processing such micrographs. We use the usual symbols for the aberration coefficients, and supplement these with £ and 6 for the transverse coherence length and the fractional energy spread respectively. He also assume a weak, biologically interesting sample, with principal interest lying in the molecular skeleton remaining after obvious hydrogen loss and other radiation damage has occurred.
