The effect of foliar application of 04 agrochemicals (Agricola, Aminofol, Aminovit, Speefol) on the quality of 04 plum-shaped tomato varieties (Cobra26F<sub>1</sub>, Heinz3402F<sub>1</sub>, SisterF<sub>1</sub>, Rio Grande) cultivated on light chestnut soils under drip irrigation was carry out in the north of the Astrakhan region within a strongly continental climate zone from 2018 to 2020. The study revealed that varying agrochemicals have an impact on the quality parameters of tomato fruit. In the Cobra 26 F<sub>1</sub> hybrid, foliar treatments led to a rise in the fruit's dry matter content, from 0.24% in the aminofol variant to 0.49% in the Agricola variant. Additionally, sugar content increased by 0.20-0.23% in the Agricola treatments and by 0.06-0.33% in the Aminovit treatments, for both the Cobra 26 F<sub>1</sub> and Sister F<sub>1</sub> hybrids. Application of various agrochemicals on leaves resulted in an increased mass fraction of vitamin C in Heinz 3402 F<sub>1</sub> hybrids, specifically on variants treated with Aminovit and Agricola by 2.21 and 3.81 mg/100 g respectively. For hybrid Sister F<sub>1</sub>, only the variant treated with Agricola showed an increase of 1.79 mg/100g. In the case of variety Rio Grande, all variants showed an increase in vitamin C, ranging from 0.03 on the Aminovit-treated variant to 8.84 on the Aminofol-treated variant. The fruit of both the Heinz 3402 F<sub>1</sub> hybrid and the Rio Grande variety exhibited an increase in carotene content, from 0.10 to 0.24 mg% and 0.02 to 0.04 mg%, respectively. Additionally, fruit acidity was reduced. As a conclusion the applied agrochemicals have different effects on the content of dry matter.","PeriodicalId":7478,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of BioScience","volume":"6 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140710088","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}

While the exact causes of schizophrenia are still not fully understood, recent research has suggested that the brain's frequency filter may play a role in its development. The brain's frequency filter helps us process and interpret the sensory information we receive. It allows us to focus on what is important while filtering out unnecessary or irrelevant information. The exact cause of schizophernia is not known but believed to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and brain chemical/neurotransmitter factors. Risk factors include family history, certain gene variants, pregnancy/birth complications, drug use, and stress. For individuals with schizophrenia, this filtering process may not function properly, leading to cognitive impairments and the manifestation of symptoms. In summary, schizophrenia is a serious but treatable mental health condition with both biological and socio-environmental contributors. A combination of medication, therapy, social support, and self-help strategies are important for management. Diagnosis is based on the pattern and severity of symptoms. No single test can diagnose it. Doctors also check to rule out other possible causes. Without treatment, schizophrenia can severely disrupt daily functioning and carry increased risks like heavy smoking, suicide, homelessness, poverty, and self-neglect. Support via therapy and rehabilitation can help manage these issues.","PeriodicalId":7478,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of BioScience","volume":"34 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140753220","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}

The faunal assemblage is dominated by cosmopolitan whiteinellids, marginotruncanids, Dicarinellids, Contusotruncanids and Heterohelicids. The planktic species with high taxonomic diversity were used to zone the Coniacian and Santonian stages, as well as define the Coniacian/ Santonian boundary, while benthic foraminifera is of minor contribution in age assignment. The stratigraphic analysis of the relations and ranges of these fauna led to the recognition of five biozones<i>; Dicarinella primitiva</i> or <i>Huberella huberi</i> or <i>Marginotruncana</i> <i>sinuosa</i> for the Coniacian, while <i>Dicarinella concavata</i> and <i>Dicarinella asymetrica</i> for the Santonian.
