Full textAbstract:
Catechins were extracted from black shada, white shada seeds and waste of squeezed grape by mixed each sample with distilled water(1:10), with ethyl acetate(1:1) v/v. Detection of active compounds in the extracts done using IR technique β-carotene bleaching test and peroxide value(POV). Results showed that the black grape seed and the waste of squeezed grape have high antioxidant activity( 64 and 52 g/k grespectively), in comparison with BHT, while it was lower than PG which were 48 and 41.6g/kg compared with PG. On the other hand white grape seed extraction was in the middle between obvious two extractions and was 48 and 36g/kg in comparative with BHT and PG respectively. Peroxide value was determined in sunflower oil for 14 days at 65oc, and showed that these extractions have antioxidant activity and similar to butylated hydroxyl toluene BHT and propyl galate PG.

Full textAbstract:
Shadi Lal, a monumental masterpiece of Mughal architecture, urgently demands comprehensive restoration and preservation efforts. This research seeks to address documentation and preservation issues related to the Shada Lal building. This project analyzed the processes that lead to the degradation of the building, including human vandalism and environmental effects, to formulate solutions to mitigate future damage and restore its historical importance. The study sought to identify historical damage and provide remedies to restore the bungalow to its original state, adhering to recognized conservation principles. A thorough analysis of the bungalow reveals that extensive structural repairs are imperative, transcending beyond mere cosmetic restoration. To ensure the bungalow's enduring legacy, formulating a comprehensive conservation strategy is critical, actively engaging the local community and fostering a sense of responsibility and stewardship. Further, detailed architectural documentation is vital to facilitate ongoing research and conservation initiatives, ensuring that every aspect of the property's historical and architectural significance is meticulously captured and preserved for future generations.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Outcomes that are related to maternal smokeless tobacco (ST) were considerably assessed over the past 50 years with resultant health issues. About 28% of Bengali women have been seen using ST. Some significant health consequences of smoking during pregnancy as, continuous abortion, stillbirth, preterm delivery, preeclampsia, low birth weight babies, and intrauterine growth retardation. Aim of the study: To investigate the influence of use ST during pregnancy on aspects of neonatal outcome like LBW & preterm birth. Methods: A comparative cross sectional study, conducted in the Department of Paediatrics and Department of Gynecology & Obstetrics, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka from January 2009 to December 2010. A total of 340 mother-neonate pairs were included in the study and among them,170 mothers using ST for years and heir recently delivered newborn infants ( mother-neonate pairs) were enrolled as ‘cases’ by purposive sampling, and another 170 mother-newborn pairs matched with histories of not using smokeless tobacco or smoke were enrolled as controls. Detailed history of each mother about the antenatal period was taken and through physical examination of the mother was done immediately. Each neoborn was assessed for birth weight and gestational age. Birth weight was weighted in gram using baby scale. Gestional age was determined by LRMP method and also by New Ballard Scoring System. Result: Most of the mothers in this study used shada, followed by jorda, shada+jorda and gul. Smokeless tobacco (ST) used by mothers during pregnancy had a significant association with the delivery of LBW baby (P <0.001) and carries a risk of having delivery of LBW baby 3.7 times higher compared to nonusers of smokeless tobacco. Preterm delivery((P <0.001 )was significantly associated with use of smokeless tobacco by mothers in the study group in comparison to the control group and carries a risk of having preterm delivery 3.1 times more than nonusers. ...........

Full textAbstract:
We report the Carabidae collected at the Shada Al-A’Ala Nature Reserve (SANR) in Baha Province in southwestern Saudi Arabia during 2013–2015. In total, 62 carabid species and subspecies representing 39 genera, 17 tribes, and 10 subfamilies were identified, including one new species, Paussusminutulus Nagel &amp; Rasool, sp. n, four new country records, and 24 species that are new provincial records for Baha. The carabid fauna was dominated by the Lebiini with 19 species. A high number of species were rarely collected (34 species) in comparison to the more abundant and common species (9 species). The highest number of species (52 species) was collected during autumn. The carabids of SANR are represented by a large component of Afrotropical faunal elements (28.1%) and smaller numbers of Oriental species (3.5%) and endemic taxa (5.3%). In comparison to Garf Raydah Nature Reserve in Asir Province, also in southwestern Saudi Arabia, SANR had an equal number of carabids sharing 64.5% of the species but with lower number of endemic elements. Our study can serve as a component for implementing a conservation plan for SANR using carabid beetles as sentinel taxa. These research results may support future ecological studies on SNAR carabids.

Abstract: Ayurveda is a long-established Science along with enormous philosophical concepts as a base, experience of practice through keen interpretation for prognosis and treatment, research, logical thinking and all these are passed on for generations; hence is experienced based science with its own concepts and methods of exploration. The living body is responsible performance by the Purusha or Jeevatma. Acharya Charaka mention that Sattva (Mind), Aatma (Soul) and Sharir (Body) as Tridand Sharir in first chapter of Sutrasthan. These are the tripod of human body in which all the universal factors along with Jeevatma (omnipresent observer) is present. These three are like a tripod; the world is sustained by their combination. They constitute the substratum for everything. According to Hindu philosophy, the systems of philosophy are divided into two main classes, namely, Aastik (Atheist) philosophy and Nastik philosophy. Buddhist, Jain, and Charvaka these 3 are Nastik philosophy which has been not accepted Veda as fundamental consideration. The follower of Sanatan Dharma is divided into the 6 branches as Sankhya, Yoga, Vedanta, Mimansa, Nyaya and Vaisheshika. This is commonly known as Shada Darshan. The views of all these philosophers regarding the Aatma are mentioned here.

Haemolytic effects of different extracts of five indigenous plant seeds viz. Datura innoxia (Mill) (Shada Dhutra), Clerodendrum viscosum (Vent.) (Vat), Amoora rohituka (Roxb.) Wt. ct. Arnott (Pitraj), Acacia auriculiformis A. Cunn. Ex. Benth. (Akashmoni) and Pongamia pinnata (L.) Pierre (Karinja) were studied upon a predatory fish, Singhi, Heteropneustes fossilis (Bloch) under laboratory conditions. Toxicants inducing effects on the blood parameters included decreased RBC and WBC counts, low haemoglobin percentage and decreased PCV (packed cell volume), MCV (mean corpuscular volume) and MCH (mean corpuscular haemoglobin). Haemolysis action included shrunken or swollen RBCs, granulated nuclei of RBCs and pyknotic nuclei of WBCs, clumping of RBCs and syncitium of RBC matrix. Damage of blood cells with absolute ethyl alcohol extract was most pronounced with all of the seed extracts. The order of toxicity of the five seed extracts on the blood parameters of Singhi was: D. innoxia < A. auriculaerformis < P. pinnata < C. viscosum < A. rohituka seed extracts. On the basis of haemolysis the toxicity was: A. rohituka > C. viscosum > P. pinnata > D. innoxia > A. auriculiformis seed extracts.

Full textAbstract:
Poplars have a strong response to light, and shade is one of the main environmental factors that limits the growth and development of poplars. Exploring the response mechanism of the developing xylem of poplar under shady conditions is of great reference significance for improving wood yields. In this study, three excellent hybrids of poplar (Populus euramericana ‘Zhonglin46’ (Pe), Populus deltoides ‘27-17’ (Pd), Populus × ‘Wq156’ (Pw) were studied under shady conditions. Based on the phenotypic data and developing a xylem transcriptome analysis, the molecular mechanism of poplars’ response to shade was preliminarily revealed, and the core regulatory genes responding to shade were identified by a weighted co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). The results showed that Pw growth was significantly affected by shade, while Pe growth was slightly affected by shade. An enrichment analysis of 13,675 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) found that shade affected the expression of genes related to the glutathione metabolic pathway. The WGCNA analysis identified two modules (“Brown” and “Purple”) related to the shade response and discovered seven hub genes. These hub genes were related to xylem development, vascular cambium division, stomatal development, and phytochrome A signal transduction. These results provide important basic information for gaining insight into the molecular response to shade in different poplar hybrids.

The first list of insects of Al-Baha Province, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) was published in 2013 and contained a total of 582 species; an addendum to this list was published in 2015 adding 142 species and bringing the total number recorded from the province to 724 insect species representing 17 orders. The previous two studies excluded Jabal Shada al-A’la Nature Reserve (SANR), so the present study in SANR, as belonging to Al-Baha Province, are complementary to the previous two. The present study presents a preliminary list of Diptera (Insecta) in SANR, with remarks on their zoogeography, and is the first of a series of planned ecological and systematic studies on different insect orders as one of the outputs of a project proposed to study the entire insect fauna of SANR. A total number of 119 Diptera species belonging to 87 genera, 31 tribes, 42 subfamilies, and representing 30 families has been recorded from SANR in the present study. Some species have been identified only to the genus level and listed herein only because this is the first time to record their genera in KSA. Fourteen of the species are recorded for the first time for KSA, namely: Forcipomyia sahariensis Kieffer, 1923 [Ceratopogonidae]; Chaetosciara sp. [Sciaridae]; Neolophonotus sp.1; Neolophonotus sp.2; Promachus sinaiticus Efflatoun, 1934; Saropogon longicornis (Macquart, 1838); Saropogon sp. [Asilidae]; Spogostylum tripunctatum (Pallas in Wiedemann, 1818) [Bombyliidae]; Phycus sp. [Therevidae]; Hemeromyia sp.; Meoneura palaestinensis Hennig, 1937 [Carnidae]; Desmometopa inaurata Lamb, 1914 [Milichiidae]; Stomoxys niger Macquart, 1851 [Muscidae]; and Sarcophaga palestinensis (Lehrer, 1998) [Sarcophagidae]. Zoogeographic affinities of recorded fly species suggest a closer affiliation to the Afrotropical region (46%) than to the Palearctic region (23.5%) or the Oriental region (2.5%). This supports the previous studies’ conclusions and emphasizes the fact that parts of the Arabian Peninsula, including Al-Baha Province, ought to be a part of the Afrotropical Region rather than of the Palaearctic Region or the Eremic Zone.

Background:Smokeless tobacco is an established cause of adverse pregnancy outcome. Preterm deliveries are quite high(14%) in our country and approximately 39% women in Bangladesh use smokeless tobacco (ST).Objective: To determine the outcome of maternal smokeless tobacco ingestion during pregnancy in delivery of preterm babies.Methods: A retrospective case control study was carried out in the department of Pediatrics & department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Dhaka Medical College Hospital between July 2010 to June 2011. Immediately after admission, detailed history of the newborn baby & mother was taken. A total of 100 cases (preterm babies) and 100 suitably matched controls (sick term neonates) were enrolled. Every case satisfying the selection criteria (inclusion & exclusion criteria) was enrolled in the study. The mother was asked whether she used to use smokeless tobacco (jorda, shada or gul) during pregnancy and about frequency and duration of ingestion of ST.Results: Baseline characteristics of cases and controls were comparable. ST user mothers of preterm babies used ST about 5 times a day. Maternal smokeless tobacco (ST) use during pregnancy was significantly associated (46%) with the delivery of preterm babies (p<0.001) and carries a risk of 2.7 times than that of non ST users.Conclusion: Maternal ST use ?5 times a day during pregnancy increases 2.7 folds risk of delivery of preterm babies than that of non-ingested.Bangladesh J Child Health 2016; VOL 40 (3) :135-138

The experiment was conducted with twenty one genotypes of potato at the experimental farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka during the period from November 2014 to March 2015 to estimate the genetic variability and diversity among the genotypes. The experiment was conducted using Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. All the genotypes varied significantly with each other for all the studied characters indicated the presence of considerable variations among the genotypes studied As per PCA, D2 and clusters analysis the genotypes were grouped into five different clusters. Clusters III had the maximum nine and cluster II and V had the minimum one genotype. The highest inter-cluster distance was observed between I and V and the lowest was observed between IV and V. Genotypes in cluster I showed the maximum performance for number of leaves per plant, chlorophyll percentage, weight of individual potato and firmness. Cluster II showed maximum performance for total soluble sugar. Cluster III recorded the highest mean performance for dry matter. Cluster IV showed the maximum performance for number of potato per hill, weight of potato per hill and yield. Cluster V showed the maximum performance for specific gravity. Considering this idea and other characteristic performances, G8 (Shada pakri) and G17 (Shil bilati) from cluster IV; G4 (BARI-TPS-1) from cluster II; and G6 (Asterix), G21 (Granola) , G1 (Cardinal) and G2 (Diamant) from cluster I might be considered better parents for efficient hybridization programme.

Full textAbstract:
Coffee (Coffea arabica L.) is one of the most important agricultural commodities traded worldwide. The livelihoods of millions of households in Asia, Africa and America depend on it. The sustainability of the supply chain of this crop is increasingly under threat due to the impact of climate change in the main producing countries in the tropics and sub-tropics. The resilience of these agro-ecosystems will depend on the ability of breeders to develop new coffee varieties that can better adapt to changing environmental conditions. Therefore, studying the diversity of coffee populations in the Arabian Peninsula could reveal agronomically interesting genotypes that can be exploited in breeding programs. The objective of the study was to evaluate the diversity among coffee populations in southwestern Saudi Arabia using quantitative morphological, pomological and agronomic traits. The analysis of variance of the data showed differences among the accessions for most of the measured quantitative traits. The accessions varied in growth habit, canopy shape and cherry, bean and leaf dimensions. Cherry fresh mass ranged from 96.5 to 234.8 g in 100 cherries while 100-bean dry mass varied from 9.3 to 22.5 g. The hierarchical cluster analysis divided the accessions into four main groups. The study revealed considerable variability among the 61 accessions. Based on this investigation, accessions KSA-7R, KSA-8 and KSA-9R from Tallan valley, KSA20, KSA21 and KSA52 from Fayfa, KSA38 from Eddayar district, KSA10 and KSA60 from Assir region and KSA61 from Jebel Shada are recommended for further investigation for their promising agronomic traits.

Vishada has not been described as an individual clinical disease in Ayurvedic treatises, but references to Vi-shada are scattered in the classics. Primary psychological conditions caused purely by manas Doshas, i.e., Ra-jas and Tamas, include Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Baya, Irshya, Vishada etc. Vishada, by its symptomatol-ogy, shows much more similarity to the symptoms of generalised anxiety disorder. Varmam refers to the vital point present all over the body. According to the siddha system of medicine, when pressure is given on these Varmam points under control for a specific time and duration, it cures several diseases. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A randomised, open, standard, controlled, clinical, interventional trial on 30 hu-man subjects. Patients were divided into two groups, one with Varmam therapy with Ksheerabala Tailam appli-cation and the other with only Varmam therapy. The total duration of treatment is 35 days. There are two fol-low-ups every 7th day. There are 28 Varmam points located in the region from the top of the head to the neck, of which 10 are used in the study to manage Vishada. RESULTS—After assessing the parameters of assessment criteria after treatment and inter-group comparison, it revealed that there was a significant effect of therapy in the patients of Vishada, and group B had a better im-pact than group A, which includes the Varmam stimulation along with Ksheerbala Tailam. CONCLUSION – Varmam therapy is effective in the management of Vishada w.s.r to Generalized anxiety dis-order.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractBased on findings in vascular plants showing that the capacity to provide enough carbon skeletons for rapid ammonium assimilation into amino acids is a prerequisite for tolerance to eutrophication, we tested the hypothesis that lichens from shady habitats are particularly sensitive to nitrogen pollution. We tested this hypothesis using published ecological indicator values (estimates of eutrophication tolerance and light preferences on an ordinal scale) for more than 500 central European lichen species. Our results show that shade-adapted lichens are indeed at the same time intolerant to eutrophication. However, not all eutrophication-sensitive lichens inhabit shady environments, suggesting the existence of several independent mechanisms causing intolerance of high nitrogen levels in lichens. The correlation of shade adaptation with nitrogen intolerance is limited to epiphytic and saxicolous species, since terricolous lichens are out-competed by vascular plants in dense vegetation. Our results suggest that lichen communities of shady bark, wood and rock are particularly sensitive to eutrophication.

Full textAbstract:
Water scarcity and sustainability are main current concerns affecting billions of people worldwide. Apart from policies designed to guarantee water supply, technologies and procedures have been developed to optimize the uses of water and water recycling as well as to minimize water scarcity. Among these technologies, those based on the use of bioinspired fibres, membranes, nanomaterials, liquid-liquid extraction methods using ionic liquids or approaches involving plants or microbes have been successfully carried out. One of the main problems associated with most of these technologies is the high cost of their implementation and maintenance. Consequently, other cheaper strategies have been explored, such as the use of shade covers. The objective of this work is to summarize the most recent findings on the use of shade covers (suspended shade cloth covers and shade objects) on water reservoirs, mainly agricultural water reservoirs (AWRs). Reflections on the investment-benefit relationship of this technological proposal are also herein discussed. Apart from traditional shade cloth clover, more recently, other covers like shade balls/squares/hexagons (shady objects) have also been proposed as promising approaches to save water and keep its quality. However, the manufacturing of shady objects, mainly made of polyethylene plastic, results in: (i) high cost (high energy cost and use of raw materials like crude oil and natural gas); (ii) significant production of residues, and (iii) visual environmental pollution. The main conclusion reached from this review is that the controversy over the use of shade covers continues in the spotlight of scientists, water managers, and related companies; although this approach saves water and prevents water quality deterioration, a large number of recalcitrant residues are produced, not only during their production, but also when they must be replaced due to deterioration.

Full textAbstract:
Hydrocharis morsus-ranae is a free-floating species growing in lakes and slow-flowing rivers near the shore in Europe and Western Asia, and as an invasive plant in the USA and Canada. Light-requiring plants of this species can also grow in the shade, up to about 30% of full sunlight. In this paper we present the data about the photosynthetic apparatus of sunny and shady H. morsus-ranae plants grown in the sun and in the shade in nature. Methods of light and transmission electron microscopy, biochemistry, chlorophyll fluorescence induction as well as the principal component analysis were used. It was found that leaves of plants growing in shade differed from those in the sun with such traits as thickness of a blade, palisade and spongy parenchyma, ultrastructure of chloroplasts, and quantum efficiency of photosynthetic electron transport, the content of chlorophylls and carotenoids, anthocyanins and phenilpropanoids. By these traits, H. morsus-ranae shady plants are similar with shade-bearing plants that indicates their adaptation to light intensity lowering. The ordination plots (PCA) suggested a clear structural and functional shift of plants growing in different lighting showing relationship to light changes in the natural environment. Thus, our results displayed the high phenotypic plasticity of the H. morsus-ranae photosynthetic apparatus, which ensures its acclimation to changing light environment and wide distribution of this species.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractSmall carpenter bees (Ceratina calcarata Robertson) (Hymenoptera: Apidae) build their nests in both sunny and shady sites, so maternal decisions about nest sites influence the thermal environment experienced by juveniles throughout development. A previous study demonstrated that when larvae and pupae were raised in the laboratory at room temperature, those from sunny nests developed more slowly than those from shady nests. This suggested that bees developing in sunny nests slowed their metabolism or that bees developing in shady nests increased their metabolism. To test this hypothesis, we performed a field experiment in which bees nested in full sun, full shade, or semi-shade. We brought larvae and pupae into the laboratory to be raised to adulthood at room temperature and measured their metabolic rates (VCO2) at 10 °C, 25 °C, and 40 °C. As expected, bees had higher VCO2 at higher test temperatures, but significant interaction also occurred between test temperature and field treatment, such that bees from sunny nests exhibited higher metabolic rates at 40 °C. Because small carpenter bees frequently nest in full sun, adaptation to high nest temperatures may involve activation of thermal protection mechanisms at the cost of slower development.

The species names of the studied plants were specified according to Cherepanov, 1995 and the Internet resource.Results. Research work on the study of indicators characterizing the group of shadetolerant herbaceous perennials, both from a scientific and practical point of view, was carried out during 2017–2021. Long dry period 2018–2020 in the Stavropol Territory had a negative impact on the general condition of shade-loving plants. The most droughtresistant species were established. Еxtreme weather conditions did not affect their vital signs, the plants looked normally developed, healthy, bloomed profusely, actively fruited. As a result of scientific research it was found that most of the studied perennials belong to semi-shade-tolerant plants, spring-summer-autumn green phenorhythmotype — vegetative from early spring to late autumn. The difference in height of plants and decorative features allows to distribute them into different types of flower beds on gardening areas. One of the main tasks of the research work carried out is to expand the range and attract shade-loving ornamental perennials for gardening in Stavropol and other, more arid settlements of our region. Shade-tolerant species and cultivars are a good scientific basis for holding regional ecological seminars, consultations on agrotechnics of growing and distribution of plants in different parts of the shady garden.

Full textAbstract:
SUMMARYGrowth and photosynthetic performance of banana (Musa sp.) grown in three levels of natural shade (33, 55 and 77% reduction in incoming radiation) were compared to an unshaded control treatment. Net CO2 assimilation rates generally decreased with increasing shade. Chlorophyll fluorescence revealed short-term dynamic photoinhibition under high light conditions but no evidence of sustained photoinhibitory damage to photosystem II. Dynamic photoinhibition decreased with increasing shade, with the greatest depression in the variable to maximal fluorescence ratio (Fv/Fm) occurring in unshaded plants during the middle of the day. Specific leaf area and leaf area ratio increased proportionately with increasing shade, whilst the chlorophyll a/b ratio decreased, reflecting a greater efficiency of light utilization under shady conditions. The optimum shade level for photosynthetic productivity would be one at which the level of photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) is high enough to saturate CO2 assimilation but low enough to induce shade acclimation and to reduce photoinhibition. Under the conditions studied here, the saturation level of PPFD was around 1000 μmol m−2 s−1, a light level typical of the tree-based intercropping systems in which banana is commonly grown in the tropics.

Full textAbstract:
Controlling erosion in shady places is among the most serious problems of environment protection, one that requires persistent and strenuous efforts. Ivy (Hedera helix L.) is exceptionally shade-tolerant, covers the ground surface nicely, and is easy to cultivate. For these reasons, it can be used more successfully than any other ground cover to control erosion in shady places. Hardening of ivy cuttings is accomplished with semi-lignified and lignified cuttings. In hardening of cuttings in plastic containers, a substrate composed of garden soil and peat proved to be the most effective. Even when the percentage of ivy cuttings that take is low in shady places subject to erosion, the significance of their presence is great in subsequent years, when the ivy spreads over the ground, covering it and retarding erosion of the soil. .

Full textAbstract:
The ability to acclimate to a range of light regimes is important, given that shady understory habitats can receive only a fraction of the light available at the top of the canopy. Sun and shade leaves are known to differ in their set of biochemical and morphological characteristics. In recent years, much has also been learned about the effect of shade on xylem structure and function. Several studies found that shaded plants had narrower xylem conduits than plants growing in full sun. Among the most notable responses induced by shade is a shift of xylem vulnerability to cavitation. Shaded plants are typically more vulnerable to cavitation than plants exposed to full light. This appears to coincide with the construction of weaker intervessel and intertracheid pit membranes in shade. Before entering and after exiting the xylem, water moves through living cells in roots and leaves, respectively. This nonvascular pathway can be modified by aquaporins. Rapid changes in root and leaf hydraulic conductance in response to changes in light and transpirational demand have been described. The role of aquaporins in these responses is discussed.

In hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.), vigorous vegetative growth and traditional orchard practices that include little or no pruning combine to produce a dense, shady canopy. A study designed to quantify the effect of shade on reproduction and photosynthetic rate in this shade-tolerant species was undertaken to assess whether some degree of pruning might improve productivity. Shade cloth was used to exclude 30%, 47%, 63%, 73%, or 92% of ambient sunlight from whole `Ennis' and `Barcelona' trees from mid-May until harvest. Photosynthetic light response curves were obtained for leaves that had developed in full sunlight, deep inside the canopy of unshaded trees, or in 92% shade. Light-saturated net photosynthetic rates were 12.0, 6.1, and 9.3 μmol·m-2·s-1 of CO2 and dark respiration rates were 2.0, 1.1, and 0.7 μmol·m-2·s-1 of CO2, respectively, for the three light regimes. Light-saturated photosynthetic rates of leaves from 30% or 63% shade differed little from the control (0% shade). Area per leaf increased by 49% and chlorophyll concentration (dry weight basis) by 157% as shading increased from 0% to 92%. Shading to 92% reduced specific leaf weight (68%), stomatal density (30%), light compensation point (69%), and dark respiration rate (63%) compared to controls. Female inflorescence density declined by about one-third and male inflorescence density by 64% to 74% in the most heavily shaded trees of both cultivars compared to controls. Shade was more detrimental to yield than flowering: yield per tree dropped by >80%, from 2.9 to 3.4 kg in full sun to 0.6 to 0.9 kg in 92% shade. Shade reduced yield primarily by decreasing nut number and secondarily by decreasing nut size. The incidence of several kernel defects increased as shade increased. Therefore, hazelnut leaves showed considerable capacity to adapt structurally and functionally to shade, but improving light penetration into the canopy would probably increase orchard productivity.

Full textAbstract:
We tested the hypothesis that leaf hydraulics is correlated with the light adaptation of different plant species and specifically that the hydraulic resistance of the leaf venation (Rvenation) is lower in sun- than in shade-adapted species. Rvenation was measured in six sun- and six shade-adapted species with a high-pressure flow meter (HPFM). The number of conduits at the proximal third of the midrib was counted and the diameter of the widest conduits together with vein density were measured. Rvenation was higher in shade species than in sun species and it was negatively correlated with the mean diameter of the widest conduits. Maximum leaf conductance to water vapour recorded for the different species was negatively correlated with the corresponding Rvenation. Sun-adapted species coping with the high water demand typical of sunny habitats appeared to have developed a highly efficient conducting system to supply living mesophyll cells with water. In contrast, species adapted to shady habitats showed higher Rvenation values according to their lower need for investment of carbon into producing wide conduits in the leaf.

Full textAbstract:
St. Augustinegrass (Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntze) generally has poor cold tolerance yet good to excellent shade tolerance. As mostly hot summers follow cold winters in USDA Hardiness Zone 7, severely damaging tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.) Darbysh.) and centipedegrass (Eremochloa ophiuroides (Munro) Hack.), a St. Augustinegrass cultivar cold tolerant enough to be grown for shady lawns would greatly benefit home owners, recreational sites, and sod growers in the “transition zone.” Eight St. Augustinegrass samples were selected, including industry standards ‘Raleigh’ and ‘Palmetto’, plus ‘Palisades’ zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica Steud.) for further testing from an established germplasm collection of material collected from lawns grown in USDA Hardiness Zone 7. Overall, based on 8-week greenhouse studies, the experimental lines had similar shade tolerance compared to commercial standards ‘Raleigh’ ‘Palmetto’ and ‘Palisades’ zoysiagrass. Field studies may be warranted to validate greenhouse studies to help further evaluate shade tolerance of experimental and commercial lines. Information generated supports the use of certain St. Augustinegrass selection in a wider environmental conditions such as reduced light environments (RLE).

Full textAbstract:
The increased use of enclosed sports stadiums produces shade conditions that seriously affect the quality of turfgrass surfaces, by encouraging undesirable excess vertical succulent growth. Plant growth regulators offer an opportunity to modify a plant’s growth habit, to enable it to be better adapted to a shady environment. To examine growth response to the plant growth regulator, trinexapac-ethyl, cool-season temperate turfgrasses (Kentucky bluegrass–perennial ryegrass, Poa pratensis L./Lolium perenne L.; creeping bentgrass, Agrostis palustris Huds.; supina bluegrass, Poa supina Schrad.; and tall fescue, Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) and a warm-season species (Bermudagrass, Cynodon dactylon L.) were established in a field experiment. Main treatments were 4 levels of shade (0, 26, 56 or 65% shade), with or without trinexapac-ethyl at a rate of 0.5 kg/ha. A pot experiment measured the vertical shoot growth rates of Kentucky bluegrass–perennial ryegrass and tall fescue under 0, 56 or 65% shade, with and without trinexapac-ethyl. Both experiments were conducted under ambient conditions. Light readings taken in full sunlight, at midday through summer and autumn (major period of assessment), ranged from 1350 to 1950 μmol/m2.s. Trinexapac-ethyl reduced vertical growth of all turfgrass species. This resulted in decreased clipping weights and in clipping material having an increased dry matter percentage (i.e. reduced succulence). The impact of trinexapac-ethyl on sward quality and colour was dependent on shade level, for all species. At 56 and 65% shade, quality and colour improvement was maximised with trinexapac-ethyl application; the magnitude of improvement was dependent on species, with Kentucky bluegrass–perennial ryegrass and bentgrass showing the most benefit. It was concluded that trinexapac-ethyl improved the shade performance of a number of turfgrass species commonly used in high quality turf surfaces. It may offer the potential to reduce costs of managing turf in such an environment.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTA comparison is made of the light acclimation potential of seedlings of three canopy species of the tropical rain forest of Los Tuxtlas, Mexico: Cordia megalantha, Lonchocarpus guatemalensis, and Omphalea oleifera. These species showed similar growth rates in a range of microhabitats. Gap dynamics were simulated by transferring plants between three environments: beneath a closed canopy, a small gap, and a large gap. Plants of all three species were able to adjust their morphology and growth rates in response to changes in light availability. Growth rates increased when plants were moved to a (larger) gap, and decreased when plants were moved to a more shaded environment. Shade-grown plants were able to acclimate faster to increasing light availability than sun-grown plants to decreasing light availability. Also, plants moved from shady to sunny conditions showed higher relative growth rates than sun control plants, whereas sun-grown plants when moved to the shade showed lower relative growth rates than shade control plants. Species differed in their response to gap dynamics. Omphalea could not acclimate morphologically to shading, but reacted faster than the other species in response to the occurrence of a large gap. Acclimation potential seemed to be related to plasticity in physiological rather than in morphological traits. Suppressed seedlings of all three species performed well in the shade, and were able to acclimate rapidly to gap-conditions.

Several experimental procedures were used to evaluate the influence of solar radiation on insect infestations in Calimyma and Adriatic variety figs (Ficus carica L.). Direct sunlight eliminated infesting insects and prevented further infestation of ripe figs drying on the ground for at least 10 days. Placement in the shade resulted in 12% insect infestation in figs within 3 days. Figs that fell naturally into sunlit areas contained almost no insects, whereas 31% of figs that fell into dense shade were infested. While ripening figs were still attached to trees, the level of insect infestation was 50% higher on the shady north side than the sunny south south side. The insect pests most frequently encountered in these experiments were nitidulid beetles and their larvae. Disease incidence was not affected by degree of exposure. We propose that cultural techniques to maximize exposure of ripening and drying figs to solar radiation could be developed as important pest management tools.

<strong>Abstarct</strong> <strong>Introduction:</strong> Tooth shade assessment is a fundamental aspect of modern dentistry, playing a pivotal role in both cosmetic and restorative procedures. Achieving precise color matching is essential for ensuring aesthetically pleasing outcomes in various dental treatments, including crowns, veneers, and fillings.<strong>Aim of the study: </strong>This study aims to compare the accuracy and consistency of tooth shade assessment using digital and visual methods.<strong>Methods:</strong> This cross-sectional comparative study was conducted at Ibrahim Medical College, Dhaka, Bangladesh, over a six-month period from January 2022 to June 2022.<strong>Result: </strong>In the assessment of tooth shade of right canine, the digital method predominantly identified shade D2 in 57.9% of cases, while the visual method revealed a broader spectrum of shades, with shade A2 being the most common at 32.3%. In our study, the digital method demonstrated a strong preference for certain tooth shade of left canine, such as D2 (54.1%), which indicates potential limitations in the device's ability to differentiate between similar shades. In contrast, the visual method showed a broader range of shade identification, with A1 (25.6%) and A2 (35.3%) being more prevalent. This broader range may suggest that visual methods, while less precise, can be more flexible in capturing a variety of shades. Notably, significant differences were observed between the two methods: the digital method underrepresented shade A2 and overrepresented shade D2 compared to the visual method. This discrepancy underscores the variations in shade identification between digital and visual approaches.<strong>Conclusion: </strong>The study highlights that while digital methods offer more consistent shade identification for specific shades, visual methods provide a broader range of shade assessments. <strong>Download Full Article.PDF</strong> <strong>DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14201970</strong> <strong>Bangladesh Journal of Dental Research & Education</strong> official publication of <strong>Bangladesh Academy of Dentistry International (BADI)®</strong> <strong>ISSN (Online): 2308-9733 </strong><strong>ISSN (Print): 2225-9015 </strong> <strong>ZENODO@BJDRE,BADI® </strong> <strong>OpenAIRE | EXPLOR@BJDRE,BADI®</strong> <strong>ORCiD@BJDRE,BADI® </strong>

"Photosynthetic performance and anatomical adaptations in Byrsonima sericea DC. under contrasting light conditions in a remnant of the Atlantic forest." Brazilian Journal of Plant Physiology 22, no. 4 (2010): 245–54. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/s1677-04202010000400004.
Full textAbstract:
The photosynthetic dynamics of the tropical pioneer species, Byrsonima sericea DC., were studied during the regeneration process of a native forest by evaluating ecophysiological (gas exchange, chlorophyll a fluorescence and photosynthetic pigment contents) and anatomical parameters of plants in sunny and shady environments. Ecophysiological evaluations were carried out monthly for one year, encompassing both a dry and a rainy season. Byrsonima sericea DC. presents anatomical plasticity that enables it to establish in environments with contrasting light regimes. In sunny conditions, it produced a thicker leaf (about 420 mm) and flat adaxial epidermis, whilst in the shade, leaves had a thinner convex adaxial epidermis (about 395 mm). No differences were found in the compositions of the pigments in the different environments, however, during the dry season, the plants presented a significantly higher concentration of photosynthetic pigments. In the sun, plants showed decreases in Fv/F0 ratio (in the rainy season) and NPQ (in the dry season), but no difference was observed between plants that were in the sun or in the shade. A significantly higher net photosynthetic rate was found only in the rainy season in the plants in the sun, compared to shaded plants (9.9±0.8 and 7.4±0.3 µmol m-2s-1, respectively). Significant increase in transpiration was observed in plants in the shade during the dry season, but no alterations were observed in the water use efficiency. Ecophysiological data suggest that mainly plants overexposed to the sun underwent water limitations during the dry season and that, in the rainy season, these plants increased their net photosynthetic rate, possibly due to the greater drainage force resulting from increased growth during this period. Data suggest that anatomic alterations, namely the convex adaxial epidermis, could aid in the supply of light to shaded plants during both seasons, precluding changes in the pigments, such as the increase in chlorophyll b usually observed in shaded plants, but not detected in the present study. Another consequence of the greater quantity of light captured by these shade plants is that during the dry season their net photosynthetic rate was not different from that of plants in a sunny environment. However, when water was not a limiting factor, a better photosynthetic performance was observed in this pioneer specie in open spaces.

Full textAbstract:
Small Cardamom is a pseophytic cash crop grown on plantation scale under the shade of natural evergreen forests of Western Ghats of South India. The shade canopy provides suitable environment by maintaining humidity and evaporation at suitable level. Trees belonging to 32 families of Angiosperms constitute the major tree flora in the Cardamom hills of South India. It is desirable to maintain a mixed population of medium sized shade trees that facilitate shade regulation and to maintain more or less optimum conditions throughout the year. The main considerations while selecting shade trees are adaptability to climate, rate of growth and ease of establishment. The major shade trees that are suitable for the cardamom tracts of Kerala state of India are Artocarpus heterophyllus, Toona ciliata, Acrocarpus fraxinifolius, Dysoxylum malabaricum, Palagium ellipticum, Terminalia tomentosa, Terminalia paniculata, Pterocarpus marsupium, Canarium strictum, Vitex altissima, Hopea parviflora and Grewia tiliaefolia.
