Carabid beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) collected from different ecosystems in Iran with new records

Abstract: 3Summary The Carabidae (Coleoptera) of apple orchards and alfalfa fields in seventeen agricultural sites of ten provinces of Iran have been investigated. 43 species/subspecies collected from these regions have been listed. Seven of the species are new records for Iran and two species are second find for the Palaearctic Region. The geographical distribution and chorotype data are given for all species.

Cross Sections Calculations of ( d, t ) Nuclear Reactions up to 50 MeV

Abstract: In nuclear fusion reactions two light atomic nuclei fuse together to form a heavier nucleus. Fusion power is the power generated by nuclear fusion processes. In contrast with fission power, the fusion reaction processes does not produce radioactive nuclides. The fusion will not produce CO2 or SO2. So the fusion energy will not contribute to environmental problems such as particulate pollution and excessive CO2 in the atmosphere. Fusion powered electricity generation was initially believed to be readily achievable, as fission power had been. However, the extreme requirements for continuous reactions and plasma containment led to projections being extended by several decades. In 2010, more than 60 years after the first attempts, commercial power production is still believed to be unlikely before 2050. Although there have been significant research and development studies on the inertial and magnetic fusion reactor technology, there is still a long way to go to penetrate commercial fusion reactors to the energy market. In the fusion reactor, tritium self-sufficiency must be maintained for a commercial power plant. Therefore, for self-sustaining (D–T) fusion driver tritium breeding ratio should be greater than 1.05. Working out the systematics of (d, t) nuclear reaction cross sections is of great importance for the definition of the excitation function character for the given reaction taking place on various nuclei at different energies. Since the experimental data of charged particle induced reactions are scarce, self-consistent calculation and analyses using nuclear theoretical models are very important. In this study, (d, t) cross sections for target nuclei 19F, 50Cr, 54Fe, 58Ni, 75As, 89Y, 90Zr, 107Ag, 127I, 197Au and 238U have been investigated up to 50 MeV deuteron energy. The excitation functions for (d, t) reactions have been calculated by pre-equilibrium reaction mechanism. Calculation results have been also compared with the available measurements in literature.

Comparison of different techniques for estimation of incoming longwave radiation

Abstract: Global warming and climate change have left developing countries fragile in terms of agricultural production, and this vulnerability is expected to increase in the near future. The surface energy budget approach is a different perspective to the investigation of energy change over a landscape. In terms of budget items, the net radiation absorbed by the earth is equal to the difference between the sum of the incoming shortwave and longwave radiation and the sum of the reflected shortwave and emitted longwave radiation. The longwave radiation has important effects on dew deposition and drying on crop leaves in agricultural meteorology. A pyranometer provides routine measurement of the daytime radiation, but the longwave part of this radiation cannot be so readily measured at night time. In this study, multiple linear regression, artificial neural networks, deep learning, adaptive network-based fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS) and empirical models have been applied to model and estimate the mean incoming longwave radiation using atmospheric parameters. The ANFIS model appears to show good agreement between the measured and the estimated values for all days considered than other models.

Ethical Climate and Organizational Citizenship Behaviour

Abstract: The aim of this study is to determine the effects of ethical climate on organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). This research was conducted on the 200 workers that working in various factories within the Kadirli Organized Indisturial Zone. In data collection tool, ethical climate scale of Schwepker (2001) and organizational citizenship behaviour scale of Podsakoff (1990) were used. With a five point Likert scale according to the structured questionnaire were included to the research and collected data were analyzed via SPSS.18 statistical analytical software. According to the results of the analysis, ethical climate has significant and positive relationship between sportsmanship, civic virtue and courtesy but, it has not significant relationship between altruism and conscientiousness which are dimensions of organizational citizenship behaviour.
