The Breeding Of Tetraploid Alsike Clover (Trifolium Hybridum L.) For Mowing And Grazing, Vladimir Malashenko, Svetlana Cheprasova, Antonina Fadeeva

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)

An account is given of the long-range im­portance that should be attributed to the use of No. 701 tetraploid alsike clover as an early ­maturity, fast-growing, high-yield competitive leguminous plant for irrigated pastures and arable forage cultivation.

Leguminous plants are of very great im­portance to forage production at large. They actually constitute a major source for nitrogen supply. This underlines their decisive role in grassland farming as a device by which to get to grips with the nitrogen deficit. Pasture pro­ductivity can best be improved by proper arrangement of plant associations with forage crop partners of the legume family which …

Possibilities Of Improving The Feeding Value Of Alfalfa By Breeding, R Steuckardt, I Bocsa

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)

1. The character "in vitro digestibility" repre­sents a complex factor. It is fixed by genetic constitution. Certain correiations were found to exist between the digestibility coefficients (DC) established in the individual cuts, as well as between the DC found in the two years of alfalfa use tested.

2. The in vitro digestibility shows sufficient variability, thus offering an adequate range for a selection programme to improve the feeding value of alfalfa. With such pro­grammes it is, however, necessary at the same time to maintain or even to further improve matter production. The effect of characters correlating with digestibility (po­sitive correlation) …

A Study Of Seed Formation In Alfalfa With Respect To Environmental Conditions And Pollinating Mode, Alena Vachunova

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)

The influence of pollinating mode and of conditions for seed formation was studied on 30 clones of different genetic constitution. The average yields per plant have changed markedly under the influence of environmental conditions, especially of variable precipitation.

The correlation between the years was positive and significant. The number of flowers forming pods and also the average number of seeds per flower and per pod are in close relation to the seed yield of the individual plants, not only under self-pollination but also under open pollination. In the dry year of 1973, the correlation coef­ficients under open pollination were lower …

The Effects Of Global Radiation Before Harvesting Upon The Digestibility Of The Dry Matter Of Some Grass Species, W Schoberlein, W Lampeter

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)

Four micro-trials with 6 breeding varieties each of Lolium multijlorum, Lolium perenne and Dac­tylis glomerata (early and late groups) were carried out under field conditions. Neither artificial reduction in daylight by means of a sunshade nor storage of the fresh mass in a dark room with the stems kept in water or else in a plastic bag resulted in abrupt decrease in digestibility as common under conditions of low global radiation. The findings point to the possibility that the composition of the diffuse light on days with poor radiation deviates from the diffuse light under a sunshade on days with …

The Gene Pool And Its Use In Breeding Grassland Plants, Anna Novoselova

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)

1. The gene pool of grassland plants is of great diversity and localized in certain centres of origin where the carriers of germ plasma are concentrated for the most important bio­logical characters and properties of a great variability of species.

2. New intensive varieties for mowing and grazing have been bred by advanced breeding methods and by taking advantage of the gene pool of the most important plant species throughout the world.

3. Wild-growing species were found to have great prospects for opening up soils of poor productivity by mowing and grazing use. They constitute a great reserve of genetic …

The Environment And Population Differences In Anjan Grass (Cenchrus Ciliaris) In Western India, S C. Pandeya

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)

Cenchrus ciliaris (anjan or buffel grass) is a gregarious fodder species with high nutritive value. The species is an inhabitant of drier sandy areas throughout Africa, Canary Island, Madagascar and eastwards to India, where it mostly occurs in western parts of the country, constituting the States of Gujarat, Rajasthan, Hayana and the adjoining portions of Punjab, U ttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh ( called here in as Western India). In Western India, Cen­chrus ciliaris (Cc) variously dominates the nat­urally occurring grazing lands exhibiting great morphological variations with respect to habit. and spike characters. The ecoclimate of Western India is arid …

Technical Disclosure: The Urban Biosphere Ziggurat (Ubz), Affordable Housing And Urban Planning, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

Current high-density urban housing models in the United States routinely fail because they optimize strictly for initial cost-per-square-foot, resulting in double-loaded corridor containment layouts that restrict natural light, induce community stagnation, and induce severe benefit "cliff effects" on upwardly mobile residents. The Urban Biosphere Ziggurat (UBZ) framework resolves this systemic crisis by decoupling high-tech, factory-precise structural engineering from regional, artistic architectural cladding. This disclosure outlines a scalable, non-speculative structural chassis integrated into a Community Land Trust (CLT) and Limited-Equity Housing Cooperative (LEHC) [1.5] governance ecosystem, permanently divesting real estate from predatory international speculation.

Successful Management Of A Large Pediatric Traumatic Pneumothorax Using A Thoracic Vent Device After Blunt Chest Injury: A Case Report, Jayanjali Bodavula, Melika Babadi, Morgan W. Stewart, Brett Dunbar

Student Publications

Traumatic pneumothorax is a common complication of blunt thoracic trauma and is traditionally managed with tube thoracostomy, particularly in larger or symptomatic cases requiring pleural decompression. Thoracic vent devices, such as the UreSil Thora-Vent, represent a less invasive pleural drainage option for the management of spontaneous or iatrogenic pneumothorax. However, literature regarding their use in traumatic pneumothorax, particularly in pediatric patients, remains limited. We present a case of a 13-year-old girl who developed a large left-sided traumatic pneumothorax after blunt thoracic trauma sustained during a softball collision. Computed tomography demonstrated a large left-sided pneumothorax and a nondisplaced left sixth rib …

Comprehensive Study On Explainable Artificial Intelligence For Enhanced Decision-Making, Eman Taher, Wessam H. El-Behaidy, Doaa S. Elzanfaly

Computer Science

Artificial Intelligence (AI) models are often criticized for their black-box nature, particularly in high-stakes domains such as finance, healthcare, and business decision-making, where transparency, accountability, and trust are essential. As machine learning advances with more complex architectures, including deep neural networks and ensemble models, the need for explainability becomes increasingly critical. This study focuses on Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) as a key approach to enhance interpretability in classification, regression, and clustering tasks that serve as the foundation of data-driven analytical systems. XAI methods such as SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations), LIME (Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations), and Integrated Gradients provide a means …

Transmembrane protein 63B gene (TMEM63B) encodes a mechanosensitive ion channel expressed in alveolar type II epithelial cells, where it mediates stretch-induced surfactant secretion. While heterozygous gain-of-function variants in TMEM63B have been associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, no human disorder has previously been linked to bi-allelic loss-of-function variants. Here, we report five individuals from four unrelated families with childhood interstitial lung disease and bi-allelic predicted loss-of-function variants in TMEM63B. Affected individuals presented with early-onset respiratory distress, chronic hypoxemia, and diffuse parenchymal lung abnormalities on chest imaging. One individual died in infancy, two underwent bilateral lung transplantation, and two require oxygen …

Resignation Typology And Its Impact On Entrepreneurial Intention And Action, Shuaijun Zhang, Wanrong Hou, Sibin Wu

Management Faculty Publications

By categorizing resignees into “genius,” “traditional,” “forced,” and “trapped,” this study examines the relationship between different types of resignees and entrepreneurial intention and action. Furthermore, we argue that anticipated regret and dormant tie reactivation moderate this relationship. An analysis of survey data from 781 participants in the United States indicates that the types of resignees exert varying influences on entrepreneurial intention and action. Compared with “traditional” and “trapped,” but not “forced,” the “genius” group have high intention of starting their own enterprises. However, the “trapped” group engage in more entrepreneurial activities than “genius.” Further, the “trapped” group with high anticipated …

Method For Trust-Aware And Language Model–Driven Email Threat Detection And Mitigation, Niranjan M M

Defensive Publications Series

Email remains the primary communication channel for enterprises and continues to be the most exploited attack vector for cyber threats. Modern email attacks increasingly rely on impersonation, social engineering, and contextual manipulation rather than traditional malware or malicious links, allowing them to evade existing detection mechanisms. At the same time, email security systems are adopting large language models (LLMs) to improve intent detection and contextual analysis, introducing new risks where email content itself can manipulate or degrade automated reasoning.

The proposal introduces a secure, trust-aware, and LLM-safe framework for automated email threat detection and remediation. The proposed system integrates sender …
