The virulence of 33 isolates of Bipolaris coicis from diverse geographic origins in Korea was evaluated on six adlay cultivars or lines under controlled environmental conditions. To evaluate infection levels of B. coicis isolates in adlay plants, a 10-class disease rating scale was developed based on the qualitative and quantitative differences of lesions on adlay leaves infected. There were significant differences in virulence among isolates of B. coicis, although the differences were quantitative rather than qualitative. Significant differences also were observed among cultivar-isolate interactions in the analysis of variance. All isolates of B. coicis, except KG-9515, were pathogenic on adlay plants. BC-20136, the most virulent isolate, was capable of causing highly susceptible reactions on the adlay cultivars or lines. Significant differences in levels of resistance were found among six adlay cultivars or lines tested. The disease rating scale may be a reliable criterion to evaluate a large number of adlays for resistance to leaf blight or B. coicis isolates for virulence to adlays.

The paper is focused on the study of literary translation as a type of rhetorical communication. The subject being analysed is that national conceptual sphere can be a reliable criterion for the authenticity of translation. The topic of the research is that national conceptual sphere regarded as a means of illocutionary influence and a source of differences in rhetorical conscience of the author of the original text as well as the translator and the addressee. A comparative analysis of Russian and Kazakh translations of Robert Burns’ ballad “John Barleycorn” is carried out. The comparison is based on the structure of rhetorical communication, national conceptual sphere, prosody parameters and genre features. The similarities and differences of the translations are specified. The similarities are shown in referential, strophic and genre proximity of the original and translations.

Ten normal-hearing volunteers, all otolaryngologists and audiometric technicians, were asked to simulate a 50-dB hearing loss in one ear on a Grason-Stadler Bekesy audiometer, Model E 800, standardized to ISO (1964). The data were analyzed and compared with the available literature. The following conclusions were reached: (1) A test-retest discrepancy, consistently present in all the subjects with simulated hearing loss, was the most reliable criterion for detecting such loss. (2) Type-V Bekesy tracings indicated simulated hearing loss and were found in 70% of the subjects. (3) Saucer-shaped curves and increased Bekesy excursions are not reliable indicators of simulated hearing loss. (4) The Bekesy audiometer is a reliable tool in detecting simulated hearing loss.

A dense digital surface model is one of the products generated by using UAV aerial survey data. Today more and more specialized software are supplied with modules for generating such kind of models. The procedure for dense digital model generation can be completely or partly automated. Due to the lack of reliable criterion of accuracy estimation it is rather complicated to judge the generation validity of such models. One of such criterion can be mobile laser scanning data as a source for the detailed accuracy estimation of the dense digital surface model generation. These data may be also used to estimate the accuracy of digital orthophoto plans created by using UAV aerial survey data. The results of accuracy estimation for both kinds of products are presented in the paper.

Background: In adenocarcinoma stomach, lymph node involvement is a significant predictor of survival, and a decisive factor in planning management. Size has always been an important criterion while considering the metastatic status of the node, in its radiological evaluation or otherwise. However, to what extent the size of a node can be considered as a reliable criterion for its metastatic potential remains a question.Methods: The present study is based on retrieving lymph nodes per operatively from patients of carcinoma stomach, measuring each node, evaluating its metastatic status and comparing the results to find a correlation between these two parameters.Results: The present study, examined a total of 187 nodes from 30 gastrectomy specimens. Among them, metastasis was found in 59 nodes (31.55%). Among these metastatic nodes, 34 (57.62%) were actually less than 5mm in size. Among the total sizes of all the lymph nodes examined, the mean±SD (standard deviation) of the metastasis positive nodes were found to be 6.42±3.86 mm, while that of the non-metastatic nodes were found to be 5.51±1.99 mm. However, it was also observed that larger nodes (>1 cm), tend to have a high chance of being malignant (62.5%).Conclusions: The above study shows though large nodes tend to be malignant, ignoring small nodes can lead to gross under staging or incomplete clearance while treating patients of adenocarcinoma stomach. Smaller nodes constitute a significant proportion of malignant nodes and must be evaluated. Size is not a reliable criterion of metastasis in lymph nodes of carcinoma stomach.

This paper is a report an the applicability of the linear discriminant function to insect taxonomy. Mather and Dobzhansky (1939) and Cox (1953) applied this technique to problems in insect taxonomy, but the former study was concerned with detecting a difference between samples, and the latter used the function only secondarily. In this paper, discriminant functions were calculated from several combinations of linear characters in males of two closely related species of grasshopper, Arphia pseadonietana (Thomas) and A. conspersa Scudder, to determine: (a) whether a reliable criterion could be found for relatively inexperienced workers to determine individual specimens with a predictable degree of precision; and (b) which characters, or combination of characters, would provide the most reliable criteria.

The slurry water concentration measurement device based on the natural gamma-rays attenuation method was designed in this paper; this natural gamma-ray is taken from a special kind of sand beach, which contains thorium. A number of experiments were made in the laboratory. The natural gamma-rays attenuation rules were obtained when it passing through the different concentration of the slurry water. The attenuation rules of natural gamma-ray passing through different concentration of slurry water were proved in theory and in tests. This provides reliable criterion for design of slurry water concentration detector.
