Importance of cinnamon as a growth and immunity promoter in Ctenopharyngodon ...
Aquaculture practices always strive for the betterment of human lives and for providing cheaper resources for fish production. As fish is the most common food source all over the world, its sustainable production is very important. The use of herbs provides a cheaper way towards the progress of aquaculture. Herbs are used in place of expensive chemicals and growth enhancers. Like others, cinnamon is also a good alternate for growth chemicals. Cinnamon is an aggregate of many related species with different names depending on the environmental conditions of different landmasses. Cinnamon contains many compounds and chemicals which are important for fish growth. Cinnamon when added to fish feed makes the fish fight against stress and grow healthy than before. Cinnamaldehydes, polyphenols, carbohydrates, flavonoids, etc., boost up the immune system of fish and act as an important antioxidant and antibiotic species. It fastens the growth rate of fish and enhances the other growth and blood parameters as compared to other aquaculture systems using chemicals. Moreover, the use of cinnamon as a growth and immunity promotor is cheaper and environmentally friendly.

This document discusses using rice lignocellulose waste as a substrate for cultivating the oyster mushroom Pleurotus eous. It finds that amendment or supplementation of the rice straw substrate with rice bran or composting did not significantly enhance mushroom yield. Yields on unfermented rice straw and straw composted for 4-8 days were comparable, with biological efficiencies of 53.3-72.8% and 67.1-75.1%, respectively. The fruiting bodies from different substrates contained varying levels of nutrients but met recommended mineral levels. While heavy metals were detected, they were below safe limits. Overall, rice lignocellulose showed potential as an alternative substrate for P. eous cultivation.

Effects of Different Kinds of Fertilizers on Growth and Production of Fishes ...
The experiment was conducted to determine the effects of different kinds of fertilizers on growth and production of fishes (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Oreochromis niloticus and Cirrhinus cirrhosus) in polyculture for four months in six earthen ponds which were situated at the south-east corner of the Faculty of Fisheries Buildings, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. The experiment was carried out under three treatments and each pond was stocked with a total of 60 fingerlings at the rate 60/decimal. Pond nos. 2, 4 were under treatment-I where use of cowdung 10 kg/dec./2 weeks, pond nos. 1, 3 were under the treatment-II where use of TSP of 90g/dec./two weeks and pond nos. 5, 6 were under the treatment-III where use of urea of 60g/dec./two weeks. The average initial length and weight of the fingerlings of silver carp, tilapia and mrigal were 10.52, 10.89 and 14.40cm respectively and 17.92, 30.00 and 46.67g respectively. During the experimental period the ranges of water temperature (14.50 to 24.70 °C), transparency (22.35 to 33.10 cm), dissolved oxygen (6.50 to 8.20 mg/L), pH (6.40 to 8.20), total alkalinity (145.00 to 210.00 mg/L), Free CO2 (1.40 to 3.10 mg/L), phosphate-phosphorus (1.50 to 2.30 mg/L), and nitrate-nitrogen (2.70 to 4.00 mg/L) were found within the productive limit and more or less similar in all the ponds under the treatments-I,II, and III. There were 24 genera of phytoplankton under five major groups and 9 genera of zooplankton under three major groups in the experimental ponds. The calculated gross and net productions, under treatment-I were 1.71 ton/ha/yr and 0.43 ton/ha/yr respectively, under treatment-II were 2.01 ton/ha/yr and 0.72 ton/ha/yr. respectively and under treatment-III were 1.69 ton/ha/yr and 0.41 ton/ha/yr respectively. From the present experiment on fish culture it might be concluded that as single fertilizer TSP is the best fertilizer to be used in fish culture ponds because in treatment-II, net and gross productions were highest than those in treatments I and III.
Conservação das culturas globais com parentes selvagens ALVAREs 2016.pdf
The document summarizes a study that modeled the global distributions of 1,076 wild relatives of 81 crop plants and compared their representation in gene banks. The study found that crop wild relatives are poorly represented in gene banks, with no accessions for 29% of taxa and fewer than 10 accessions for 24% of taxa. Over 70% of taxa were identified as high priority for further collecting to improve conservation. Key gaps exist in the Mediterranean, Near East, Europe, Asia, and South America. The study concludes that a systematic effort is needed to better conserve crop wild relatives and improve their availability for use in plant breeding.
Introgression of Plantain Fruit Parthenocarpy (pfp) Genes in Land Races of Pl...
Trials were conducted to investigate the transfer and effects of parthenocarpy genes between plantain and banana clones. Ten crosses were made between three plantain cultivars and two banana clones. The progenies showed segregation of parthenocarpy traits and varying ploidy levels. Traits like bunch weight, fruit size, and number were positively influenced by increases in ploidy and changes from recessive to dominant alleles of parthenocarpy genes. However, other genetic factors also influenced trait expression. Indirect marker-assisted selection proved useful for selecting progenies with good agronomic traits and parthenocarpy for further breeding.
Gene Conservation, Types, Management and Advantages
Gene conservation, defined as the policy and management actions taken to assure the continued availability and existence of genetic variation, is an essential component of sustainable forestry.

Trials were conducted to investigate the transfer and effects of parthenocarpy genes between plantain and banana clones. Ten crosses were made between three plantain cultivars and two banana clones. The progenies showed segregation of parthenocarpy traits and varying ploidy levels. Traits like bunch weight, fruit size, and number were positively influenced by increases in ploidy and changes from recessive to dominant alleles of parthenocarpy genes. However, other genetic factors also influenced trait expression. Indirect marker-assisted selection proved useful for selecting progenies with good agronomic traits and parthenocarpy for further breeding.
Gene Conservation, Types, Management and Advantages
Gene conservation, defined as the policy and management actions taken to assure the continued availability and existence of genetic variation, is an essential component of sustainable forestry.

Poultry breeding
- There is an urgent need to evaluate Pakistan's poultry biodiversity and compile available data for future scientific and biotechnological applications in food production.
- To achieve this, trained experts in conservation biology and genetics must be developed. The latest genetic tools like DNA profiling can help conserve genetic resources efficiently.
- Active involvement of various stakeholders like the government, research institutions, private sector and poultry community is essential. Systematic efforts should be made to assess indigenous breeds, compile databases, and apply conservation principles to maintain genetic diversity.
Food safety soil to mouth
This document provides an overview of food safety from soil to consumption. It discusses good practices across the food chain, including good soil management, seed management, agricultural practices, post-harvest handling, hygiene, processing, storage, and distribution. Maintaining soil health is crucial for ensuring safe, nutritious crops. Seed and planting materials must be free of toxins, diseases and pests. Agricultural practices should utilize approved varieties and inputs applied properly. Produce must be handled carefully after harvest to prevent contamination. Hygiene is important during processing to avoid biological and chemical hazards. Proper storage and distribution also help maintain food safety.

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptx
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defects
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
