Walp. is a very important crop cultivated for its seeds, fresh/ dried leaves and young pods. The study evaluated the qualitative and morpho-agronomic characteristics of sixteen varieties of V. unguiculata for their effective utilization in genetic improvement of the species. Treatments were laid out in randomized complete block design and replicated four times. Data from quantitative characters were subjected to analysis of variance. The means were separated using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test at p<0.05. Data were also subjected to cluster analysis, while the inter-character relationship between the accessions was determined through Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation. The result showed that Tvu-9312, Tvu-7813, Tvu-9287 and Tvu-500 had the highest germination percentage (100%). Tvu-8018 had the shortest days to first flowering (46 days), while the shortest days to 50% flowering (52days) and peduncle lengths (19.88cm) were observed in Tvu-23. TVu-198 had the highest pod lengths (17.35cm), while TVu-8018 had the highest number of pods (4.63). Principal Component Analysis showed that the first three principal axes explained 72.0% of the total variation in the morphology and yield traits. The traits producing most of the observed variations include number of pods per plant, number of primary branches, days to first and 50% flowering. Cluster analysis showed the accessions were heterogeneous and morphologically diverse and clustered into 5 groups. Accessions in the different clusters can be recommended for cultivation or used in the development of improved cultivars of V. unguiculata.","PeriodicalId":119621,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Basic and Applied Research International","volume":"255 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121343612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A very good promotional strategy is to periodically update this souvenir, and generally this strategy is applied according to the results of a market research on the identified tastes of the customers, and then marketing should be used for the design of the gift products. The souvenir suppliers need to have processes that can be adapted to each change requested by their customers, they must have flexible manufacturing. A review of the literature on the promotion of products destined to customers through gifts was conducted, as well as the fundamental aspects to consider in flexible manufacturing for promotional purposes. It was found that it is necessary to have technology for information management that integrates the disciplines of flexible manufacturing, marketing, information technology, design, and costs for souvenir suppliers to effectively meet their commitments; they will have the information in real time; digital information management will involve innovation in the information systems of enterprises: supplier, customer, advertising, and souvenir designer; it will involve business-savvy CIOs; it will also involve digital twin simulation and automation of the production process for effective implementation of flexible manufacturing.","PeriodicalId":119621,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Basic and Applied Research International","volume":"839 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126967320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

And the smaller the total distance between the 5G base stations and the edge servers is, the faster the transmission rate is. Therefore, we need to study the optimal deployment of edge servers and the cloud data center. Firstly, the cluster analysis is used to cluster the 5G base stations and obtain the cluster centers, then the edge servers are deployed in the cluster centers. Secondly, the centroid method is used to determine the location of the cloud data center. By adopting the elbow and gap statistic methods, we also study the optimal number of edge servers to be deployed. Computer simulation results show that our methods provide better deployment locations for the edge servers and the cloud data center.","PeriodicalId":119621,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Basic and Applied Research International","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125443420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many chemical compounds act as endocrine disruptors, such as insecticides, herbicides, plasticizers. If these chemical compounds spread outside their area of intended use, they can stay in the environment and flow down into local bodies of water and wreak havoc upon ecosystems in the area. So, understanding the underlying relationship of the EHs with the physiology of an organism may be important for the design of chemical structures that could minimize the adverse effects for the future compounds. \u0000Methods: For this study, we chose 10 environmental hormones of BFR, DMT, LCH, DMA, TTS, MLT, ANN, CFT, GPS and GCH to examine the acute cardiac effects for 30 minute incubation in 1:10 serial dilution solutions.   The heartbeat rates and their differences were evaluated at pre- and post-incubation, which was then converted into their heartbeat change% based on the pre-heartbeat rates.  Then, the heartbeat change % for the individual EH was put on a regression analysis with molecular properties such as molecular weight, XlogP, topological polar surface area (TPSA), complexity, solubility and heavy atom count. \u0000Results: The leading coefficient of polynomial function showed relationship with those molecular properties with regression coefficient R2 from 0.1163 to 0.3182. The study should be significantly recognized in that the relationship of acute cardiac effects to the molecular properties were able to quantify as a unique attempt to elucidate.  More study might be needed for in-depth clarification in the constants of the polynomial relationship.","PeriodicalId":119621,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Basic and Applied Research International","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133532302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the productivity of the crop has been declined from year to year mainly due to the intensity of soil acidity and nutrient depletion. Liming and fertilization has vital role for sustainable crop production. This field experiment was conducted in 2021 main season using factorial combination of five lime rate (0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 t/ha) and three rates of NPSB fertilizer (50, 100 and 150 kg/ha) treatments were laid out in RCBD and replicated three times to determine the optimum application rate. Most crop parameters were highly significantly (p<0.01) affected by main effects of lime and the blended fertilizer but days to heading, number of grains per spikes, grain yield, straw and biomass yield and harvest index were also highly significantly influenced by interaction effect. The delayed matured crop and the longest plant height crops were recorded from maximum application rates while early matured and shortest plant height crop observed from minimum rate. The highest number grains per spike and spike length observed from individual effects of 2 t/ha lime and 150 kg/ha NPSB fertilizer rates. The highest grain yield (5.8 t/ha) recorded from combined 2 t//ha lime and 150 kg/ha NPSB blended fertilizer treatment then followed by the treatment that received combined 3 t/ha lime and 150 NPSB blended fertilizer. However, the highest straw (7.23 t/ha) and biomass (12.86 t/ha) yield was obtained from the combining 3 t/ha lime with150 kg/ha NPSB blended fertilizer but the lowest yields from the control treatment. On the other hand, the economic analysis disclosed that maximum net profit of 110,873 Birr/ha obtained from the treatment received combined 2 t/ha lime and 150 kg/ha NPSB blended fertilizer with acceptable marginal rate of return (27.8%) then followed by dominated treatment (integrated 3 t/ha lime and 150 kg/ha NPSB fertilizer application). Thus, integrated use of 2 t/ha lime with150 kg/ha NPSB blended fertilizer is found optimum for the study area and to the areas with similar agro-ecological conditions.
