Processing news on social media. The political incidental news exposure model (PINE)

This article outlines the Political Incidental News Exposure Model. The Political Incidental News Exposure Model understands incidental news exposure as a dynamic process and distinguishes two levels of incidental news exposure: the passive scanning of incidentally encountered political information (first level) and the intentional processing of incidentally encountered content appraised as relevant (second level). After encountering political information incidentally, recipients briefly check the content for relevance (i.e., first level). If content is appraised as relevant, recipients switch to more intensive processing (i.e., second level incidental news exposure). Importantly, second-level incidental news exposure is assumed to have stronger effects on political outcome variables like participation and knowledge than first-level incidental news exposure. The Political Incidental News Exposure Model further acknowledges intention-based (i.e., incidental news exposure while not looking for political news) and topic-based incidental news exposure (i.e., incidental news exposure while looking for other political news) and it conceptualizes incidental news exposure with respect to political and non-political content. Theoretical and methodological implications are discussed.

Genetic Basis of Giant Embryo Traits and Effects of Environmental Factors on Giant Embryo Rice

Giant embryo rice (GMR) is a special rice which can produce eutrophic functional rice. Giant embryo rice and its intensive processing products have been widely used in food, medicine, health care products and other fields, with extremely important scientific significance and economic value. In recent years, a series of important advances have been made in the research of giant embryo rice, and its achievements have attracted the attention of rice breeders and consumers at home and abroad. In this paper, the genetic basis of giant embryo traits and the effects of environmental factors on giant embryo rice were reviewed and analyzed, and the application prospect of giant embryo rice was also prospected, these will provide important reference for genetic improvement and application promotion of giant embryo rice.

Correlation between gold ore deposits and intrusive magmatism in South Tien Shan metallogenic province

Basing on the structural-formational complexes study of the one of the largest in the world South Tien Schan gold ore province, the new conclusions of the spatial-temporal interrelation of the ore mineralization types, presented in it, have been done. The author’s perennial field works data and results of the cameral processing of the rock and thin sections collected by him have been used. Due to the intensive processing of the main deposits, described in the paper, a state of the excavations has been altered a lot, the observations, made earlier, have more significant meaning and deserve the acquaintance of the specialists.
