Influence of Cracking on Rice Seasons and Irrigation in Bangladesh




Winter dry season is mainly depends on irrigation. Because, the rainfall in this season is almost zero. At the end of this season, ground water mainly remains at about 10-12 meter depth. On the other hand, the crop then remains at booting to flowering stages. During this period, a huge number of cracks developed on the puddled field due to shortage of water. Consequently, the size and number of cracks depend on the irrigation interval, the intensity and duration of drought spell. The sizes of the cracks are range about 10-30 mm wide. Normally, the major cracks goes below puddled layer of 70-100 mm and almost all the cracks are interlinked and remain active through the growing season. Therefore, a major portion of the irrigation water lost through this cracks. Hence, a large area remains fallow due to proper management and shortage of irrigation water. Therefore, irrigation application efficiency to be increased in cracking soils by reducing seepage and drainage losses in paddies. As a result, it is important to develop irrigation scheduling of rice for cracking soils on the basis of crack size rather than estimating crop water requirements based on evapotranspiration (ET) demand.

The hyperbolic effect of density and strength of inter beta-cell coupling on islet bursting: a theoretical investigation
Background: Insulin, the principal regulating hormone of blood glucose, is released through the bursting of the pancreatic islets. Increasing evidence indicates the importance of islet morphostructure in its function, and the need of a quantitative investigation. Recently we have studied this problem from the perspective of islet bursting of insulin, utilizing a new 3D hexagonal closest packing (HCP) model of islet structure that we have developed. Quantitative non-linear dependence of islet function on its structure was found. In this study, we further investigate two key structural measures: the number of neighboring cells that each beta-cell is coupled to, nc, and the coupling strength, gc. Results: beta-cell clusters of different sizes with number of beta-cells n_beta ranging from 1-343, nc from 0-12, and gc from 0-1000 pS, were simulated. Three functional measures of islet bursting characteristics - fraction of bursting beta-cells fb, synchronization index lambda, and bursting period Tb, were quantified. The results revealed a hyperbolic dependence on the combined effect of nc and gc. From this we propose to define a dimensionless cluster coupling index or CCI, as a composite measure for islet morphostructural integrity. We show that the robustness of islet oscillatory bursting depends on CCI, with all three functional measures fb, lambda and Tb increasing monotonically with CCI when it is small, and plateau around CCI=1. Conclusion: CCI is a good islet function predictor. It has the potential of linking islet structure and function, and providing insight to identify therapeutic targets for the preservation and restoration of islet beta-cell mass and function.

Ecological Society of America criticizes administration's overhaul of the Endangered Species Act
(Ecological Society of America) The Ecological Society of America today criticized the Bush administration's Aug. 15 proposal to reinterpret the Endangered Species Act, which would impose regulatory changes eliminating the requirement for federal projects to undergo independent scientific review. The proposal would allow federal agencies to decide for themselves whether their projects would harm endangered animals and plants.
