Universal Display's Stalled Growth Engines Are Roaring Back to Life
By Anders Bylund – Oct 31, 2020 at 10:39AM
NASDAQ: OLED
Universal Display
The technology researcher crushed Wall Street's financial targets in the third quarter and OLED technologies are invading the consumer market.
Lighting and digital screen technology developer Universal Display (OLED 0.62%) reported third-quarter results after the closing bell on Thursday, Oct. 29. The results left analyst estimates in the dust, led by an impressive jump in sales of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) materials.
Universal Display's third-quarter results by the numbers
GAAP net income
GAAP earnings per diluted share
Data source: Universal Display. GAAP = Generally accepted accounting principles.
OLED material sales grew 33% year over year, breathing new life in a stalled business trend. Material sales in the first half of 2020 came in 25% below the comparable year-ago period's results. Universal Display's largest manufacturing partners, South Korean electronics giants Samsung and LG Display (LPL -0.36%), are running their production lines at full speed again and are introducing a number of innovative products showcasing the unique properties of OLED displays.
OLED screens can be printed on foldable materials, opening up many new product ideas. Samsung has foldable phone screens on the market today, and you'll soon be able to buy big-screen TV sets where the OLED screen can be rolled up when you're not using it. Samsung is also working with PC processor giant Intel (INTC -1.66%) and software titan Microsoft (MSFT -0.06%) to create a 17-inch OLED screen that can be used as a tablet or a monitor, but that can also be folded at a 90-degree angle to give you a smaller laptop with a keyboard on the lower touchscreen.
Transparent OLED screens can put lighting panels or important information in new places. In August, LG Display shipped transparent OLED displays to the subway systems in Beijing and Shenzhen, adding train schedules and other information to the windows of subway cars. CEO Steven Abramson expects transparent screens to show up soon in self-driving cars, smart homes, and airplanes.

While these next-generation OLED products make their way to the global consumer market, Universal Display's technology has found a stable home in the smartphone and big-screen TV industries. Apple (AAPL -0.36%) not only included OLED screens in all four of this year's iPhone 12 models, but also highlighted the OLED screen as a significant selling point.
So Universal Display can operate from a stable financial platform with an eye toward many new markets with exponential growth potential in the coming years. The stock isn't cheap at 92 times trailing earnings and 25 times trailing sales, but it's worth every penny. We are still in the early days of Universal Display's long-term growth story.

How Can I Hire A Recruiter To Find Me A Job?
One of the most frequent questions I get as a career coach is, "How can I hire a recruiter to find me a job?"
While developing relationships with agency recruiters, also known as headhunters, can be valuable to your job search, you usually can't hire one. Recruiters are hired by companies to find talent for their difficult-to-fill job openings.
In other words, employers pay recruiters to hunt down talent, screen candidates, and present the best qualified individuals to hiring managers and human resources staff. And these companies pay handsomely for these services, an amount in the neighborhood of 25% of the first year salary of the person they hire.
Or more, depending on the complexity of the search, or the level of the role they're looking to fill. A retained search firm hired to find a C-level executive often charges in the neighborhood of 33% of the candidate's first year total compensation (plus expenses). Let's say the search firm places a CEO with a base salary of $400K and a projected bonus of $100K for total $500K in cash compensation. At 33%, they're set to receive a check for a cool $165K for their services. It's not hard to figure out where the recruiter's loyalty lies.
That said, relationships with recruiters are a critical part of the job hunter's toolbox. A good recruiter with an established practice may have connections – and access – to potential employers. And many hiring managers are willing to take a plugged-in recruiter's calls for a couple reasons - they present good candidates, and they may have job opportunities for the hiring manager in the future.
Want to get the most out of your job search by working with recruiters? Here are eight strategies to keep in mind as you build relationships with recruiters.
Be smart about which recruiters you contact. Do your research - agency recruiters typically focus on particular disciplines or areas. If you're looking for a job in the finance arena, focus on getting to know recruiters who who place finance staff – a connection with an IT recruiter, for example, may be great in terms of helping you understand the general job market or making a periodic connection, but you'll be an outlier rather than their core audience. And you'll be taking up valuable time the recruiter could otherwise be using to place candidates in their area of specialty.
Approach the recruiter with tact and diplomacy. Handle your initial contact with respect. Be professional - send your resume with a brief, well-written cover note explaining why you're contacting them, and the value you can add to their practice. Keep in mind, they are under no obligation to work with you, much less find you a job.
If the recruiter calls you, go through the screening process. The recruiter will want to evaluate your skills to see if you're going to be a fit for any openings they're currently working or for any future potential opportunities. Don't be offended, they're doing their job. And don't hesitate to ask if you think you're a fit with the types of roles they fit. Who knows - your skills may be quite in demand. By the way, headhunting is a fast-paced business, so don't be offended if the call is brief and direct.
Be responsive. If you've made it this far, and the recruiter reaches out to you again in the future, it means that you're on their radar. Reply promptly to any emails or calls, or you'll miss out on being considered for potential opportunities. Take too long to respond and you'll be labeled as unreliable, and shuffled to the back of their candidate list.
Be straightforward with the recruiter about your situation. Keep in mind that candidates are their inventory, and they reflect the recruiter's ability to present quality, reliable talent. If you've got an offer on the table or in the works, tell them. Share your target salary range. And tell the recruiter if you've already applied to a company for which they're considering submitting you, either directly or through another recruiter. They're going to present you to an employer with this criteria. And be consistent - surprises kill deals, and if you tell an employer a different salary range than you told the recruiter, for example, you will be persona non grata.
Be valuable to remain front of mind. Recruiters are taught that everybody they contact will be either a A) Potential Client; B) Potential Candidate; or C) Potential Referral Source. It's not unusual for somebody to be all three at different times in the relationship. Ask what kind of jobs the recruiter is working on, or what kind of candidates they are working with. Even if you're not a candidate at this moment, if you can provide some potential leads on either of the other two categories, then the smart recruiter will remember that you did them a solid to help put money in their pocket.
Feel free to work with more than one recruiter. Some recruiters have exclusive relationships with companies, so you may need to reach out to multiple individuals to be sure that you capture more potential opportunities out there in the market. But working with too many recruiters may dilute your brand; 2, maybe 3 agencies, are ideal.
Most recruiters call when there is a meaningful update. If an appropriate amount of time has passed and you would like an update, call or email the recruiter. You should expect timely responses - if they don't get back to you, it may send you a message as to how relevant your application is to their workflow.

In April 1997, there was a "gas out" conducted nationwide in protest of gas prices.

If all myspace members did not go to the pump on the 15th, it would take $2,200,000,000.00 (that's BILLION) out of the oil companys pockets for just one day, so please do not go to the gas station on May 15th and lets try to put a dent in the Middle Eastern oil industry for at least one day.
In April 1997, there was a "gas out" conducted nationwide in protest of gas prices. Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon overnight.
OK, first of all: No. The price of gas did not drop 30 cents overnight because of a "gas out" in 1997, nor in any other year. Show me the article reporting this. Google and the world are at your fingertips. For example, the first results page of an easy search for "april 1997 'gas out'" contains only sites about how no such event occured and one from Indiana State Representative Vernon Smith who's encouraging his constituents to take part (complete with false information!).
the average car takes about 20 to 30 dollars to fill up.
How many MySpace users are under 16? How many don't have cars? I suspect I'm not the only one. I also suspect that the "average car" mentioned here, and it's "20 to 30 dollars" were made up on the spot.
Umm, how many of these people, assuming they have a car and pay for their own gas, were actually planning on filling up on Tuesday? Are Tuesdays really hot gasoline days? I haven't driven in a while; do gas stations only open on Tuesdays now? If you didn't get gas on Tuesday, am I playing right into Big Oil's hands by suggesting you would fill up on… Monday? Or, even – God forbid – Wednesday?!
This one doesn't have my favorite part that I've seen in a lot of others: "If you don't understand the math, don't worry. MY friend's dog's cousin is a MATHMATITIAN at HARVARD at he ran the numbers. It checks out." Yes, thank god we have the apocryphal Harvard professor to multiply 73 million by $30 for us. Gawrsh, I never wuz no good at werd probems. I would be much more convinced if an imaginary economist gave this scheme the OK.
Every time I see one of these I'm filled with spite and dismay. This particular one came from someone who I didn't think was stupid. And I still don't think they're stupid. That's where a lot of the dismay comes in.
On the one hand, the way I think, all of my commentary above occurs to me almost immediately as I read one of these. Of course not getting gas for one day makes literally no difference to anyone unless you actually use less gas (of which there is no suggestion), because you'll just get gas another day. It's like exhorting everyone to hold off having a bowel movement on a certain day to protest high plumbing costs. The companies know, one way or another, they're going to get what they want.
Then you add in the fuzzy math (to put it nicely) and the whole thing is just laughable. I mean, even if I couldn't quite figure out why this made no sense, it doesn't take much to find someone who knows.
But on the other hand, I've probably seen at least ten of these over the last few years, which means people are still believing and circulating them. And that, despite the fact that they've certainly seen them before and noticed that they had no effect. I can only assume they assume that it didn't reach enough people, or there was a conspiracy to prevent its success. I don't know.
The troubling fact is, not everyone thinks like me. And, the more troubling fact (the one I can't quite grasp yet) is, that's OK. I mean, in this case, I'm clearly right. The "gas out" plans are stupid and useless. I think I'm also right to be skeptical of everything you receive as an email forward or MySpace bulletin. But my way of thinking rarely makes me happy (other than the smug satisfaction I derive from being correct). Logic serves me well for logical things, but a lot of seemingly illogical people appear to have a lock on the truly illogical aspects of life, and those are the ones trouble me the most. Sometimes I wish I could just turn off the logic. Turn off the questioning. I haven't been able to do that. Not yet, anyway.
Anyway, that being said, don't forward these things. Don't believe them. Don't be an idiot.
Update: A little more searching reveals that some, not content with just MySpace, have changed the text for all internet users, yet kept the 73 million number—this time, a gross underestimate! They also arbitrarily changed the fill-up price for the "average car" to $30 to $50—amazingly, the total amount of money did not increase correspondingly. Ahh! People! You never cease to amaze me.

A tragedy and a shame
The inquiry into the murder of Stephen Lawrence, a young black Londoner, has destroyed complacency about the state of race relations in Britain
Macpherson's damning judgment
THE most far-reaching shake-up of policing for a generation was ordered by the home secretary, Jack Straw, following the publication on February 24th of the judicial inquiry into the racist killing of Stephen Lawrence in April 1993.
The report into the stabbing of the 18-year-old black student is scathing about the Metropolitan Police's "professional incompetence, institutional racism and failure of leadership" which allowed Lawrence's murderers to escape justice. From the moment the teenager lay dying in the street with his wounds unattended, to the initial failure to arrest the five suspects, the report documents "a series of errors, failures and a lack of direction and control".
The Met's commissioner, Sir Paul Condon, and more than 20 of his officers are criticised severely in the report for this catalogue of errors, which it says "goes beyond incompetence" and can be accounted for only by racism. But the commissioner, with the home secretary's strong backing, is resisting calls from black organisations for his resignation. Mr Straw acknowledged to MPs that the commissioner felt a sense of deep shame at having failed the Lawrence family, a shame which Mr Straw said he as home secretary shared. But he praised Sir Paul for his leadership and said that he wanted him to stay until he retires next January. The mother of the murdered teenager, Doreen Lawrence, stopped short of calling for the commissioner's resignation, but said she believed that nothing had changed since the day her son died.
The government has accepted all the recommendations of the inquiry, headed by Sir William Macpherson, a retired High Court judge. They include setting targets for the recruitment, promotion and retention of black and Asian police officers, and the extension of the 1976 Race Relations Act to the police and all other public bodies. This last reform, legislation for which is promised shortly, will enable the Commission for Racial Equality to examine the practices of individual police forces.
The Law Commission has been asked to examine the inquiry's recommendation that, where new evidence becomes available, the Court of Appeal should be empowered to order a second prosecution for the same offence. Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary has also been ordered to make an immediate inspection of the Metropolitan Police. But allegations of corruption made against the police by the Lawrence family's lawyers were dismissed by the inquiry's report. The home secretary emphasised that increasing the confidence of minority communities in the police was now a priority and said there would be a national conference on the issue in April.
Altogether, the report makes 70 recommendations on matters ranging from police training and racial awareness to the investigation and prosecution of racist crimes. If implemented, they will be a powerful force for change. But as the report makes clear, the gap between policy decided by senior officers and practice by junior officers on the streets is all too wide. After 69 days of public hearings, 88 witnesses and more than 100,000 pages of documentary evidence, two clear themes emerge from its 335 pages. They were summed up by a black church leader who told the inquiry: "The experience of black people over the last 30 years has been that we have been overpoliced and to a large extent underprotected."
The report highlights the bitter resentment felt by many young black and Asian Britons at what they believe is their unfair treatment. The document notes that black people are on average five times more likely to be stopped and searched than whites. It does not call for a curtailment of these powers, but it does recommend that all "stops and searches" be recorded, as should the race of the person involved.
The home secretary says that in future the police will use their stop-and-search powers with more restraint. However, at a post-publication press conference Mrs Lawrence was sceptical. "I would like to know how he is going to do this. How is he going to ensure that the police are not going to continue to abuse those whom they have stopped?" It is a fair question. Chief constables across the country admit that the disparity in stop-and-search statistics, which only became evident as a result of recent legislation, is partly the product of racist attitudes.
Another grievance of black and Asian Britons is that when they do complain to the police about crimes committed against them, they are often ignored. The report makes clear that the failures in the Lawrence case did not come out of a void. Racist crime is grossly under-recorded. Home Office figures for 1996-97 show only 13,151 racial incidents reported to the police. But the British Crime Survey, based on sample interviews, found more than ten times as many racial attacks. A Crown Prosecution Service report published last year found that the police consistently failed to identify race as a factor. Only a third of incidents in which race was clearly involved were flagged as such by the police. Since the Metropolitan Police commissioner set up a Racial and Violent Crimes Task Force six months ago, the number of racial offences notified to the police has soared by 68%, the numbers charged by 98% and the number of incidents reported by more than 100%.
An example of the gulf of misunderstanding that too often bedevils relations between blacks and the police is highlighted in the Lawrence report. Detective Chief Superintendent William Ilsley, the officer who supervised the murder investigation, was given at one point a list of suspects by Mrs Lawrence. She says that he then treated this information with contempt, "rolling the piece of paper up in a ball in his hand". Mr Ilsley denied this. He said that he merely folded the paper up and put it in his pocket. Sir William's verdict is that he acted with a lack of wisdom and sensitivity in not showing a greater interest in the information.
This is just one of many incidents that poisoned any chance of a constructive relationship between the Lawrence family and the police. A theme repeatedly stressed by the report is the need to establish trust between non-white Britons and the police. So bad are relations now that this will only be accomplished over many years with a great deal of effort on both sides. But those who study race relations in Britain believe that the Lawrence inquiry may provide the chance of a new start. Bhikhu Parekh, chairman of the Commission on the Future of Multi-Ethnic Britain, says that members of ethnic minorities want to see a real determination to eradicate racism: "I hope and believe that this report can create the right kind of climate for change."

Still got skin in the game
Britain's vellum industry is booming (quietly)
He may cling on to office, but his hold on his party has gone
The latest piece of "red meat" may stick in the throat
It did more as its job became harder
Keeping up the old traditions
But the nation's crafts are still endangered

Use of transdermal patches can evade many issues associated with oral drug delivery, such as first-pass hepatic metabolism, enzymatic digestion attack, drug hydrolysis and degradation in acidic media, drug fluctuations, and gastrointestinal irritation. This article reviews various transdermal patches available in the market, types, structural components, polymer role, and the required assessment tools. Although transdermal patches have medical applications for smoking cessation, pain relief, osteoporosis, contraception, motion sickness, angina pectoris, and cardiac disorders, advances in formulation development are ongoing to make transdermal patches capable of delivering more challenging drugs. Transdermal patches can be tailored and developed according to the physicochemical properties of active and inactive components, and applicability for long-term use. Therefore, a number of chemical approaches and physical techniques for transdermal patch development are under investigation.
In an attempt to produce heterocyclic compounds based on 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives with potential antiviral activity, synthesis of compound 1 [2-(5-thioxo-4,5-dihydro-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)acetonitrile] was performed through the reaction of cyanoacetic acid hydrazide with carbon disulfide in alcoholic potassium hydroxide. Compound 1 has an activating methylene group, so it was directed toward some specific reactions. Thus, aryldiazonium chlorides reacted with compound 1 affording hydrazono derivatives 2a-c. Also, aromatic aldehydes reacted with compound 1 to produce compounds 3a,b. Furthermore, cyclic ketones were subjected to the synthesis of fused thiophene derivatives 4a,b via reaction with compound 1 in the presence of elemental sulfur. In addition, 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivative 1, when reacted with isothiocyanates, salicylaldehyde or 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, formed thiazole derivatives 5a,b, coumarin derivative 6 and alkenyl derivatives 7a,b resp. Compound 7b underwent cyclization to afford pyridine derivative 8. Arylhydrazono derivatives 9a,b were produced through the reaction of compound 7a with aryldiazonium chlorides. Products 9a,b underwent cyclization to produce pyridazine derivatives 10a,b. Finally, 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivative 1 was directed toward reaction with hydrazine derivatives, bromoacetophenone and ethylchloroacetate affording compounds 11a,b, 12 and 13, resp. Fused thiophene derivatives 14a,b were produced via reaction of compounds 4a,b with a mixture of malononitrile and ethylorthoformate. Antiviral activity of the synthesized products showed that 5-(4-amino-3-ethyl-2-thioxo-2,3-dihydrothiazol-5-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-thione (5a) and 5-(4-amino-3-phenyl-2-thioxo-2,3-dihydrothiazol-5-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-thione (5b) acted as the most active agents against Feline herpes virus, Feline corona virus, Herpes simplex virus-1 and Herpes simplex virus-2, whereas compound 2-(5-(2-phenylhydrazono)-4,5-dihydro-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)acetonitrile (11b) was the most effective against Vaccinia virus, Herpes simplex virus (TK-KOS-ACVr), Coxsackie virus B4 and Vesicular stomatitis virus.
The paper is focused on the synthesis and screening of the antiplasmodial activity of novel fumardiamides 5–10 with the mefloquine pharmacophore and a Michael acceptor motif. Multi-step reactions leading to the title compounds included two amide bond formations. The first amide bond was achieved by the reaction of (E)-ethyl 4-chloro-4-oxobut-2-enoate (1) and N 1-(2,8-bis(trifluoromethyl)quinolin-4-yl) butane-1,4-diamine (2). The obtained ester 3 was hydrolyzed and gave acid 4, which then reacted with the selected halogenanilines in the presence of HATU/DIEA and formed products 5–10. Title compounds showed marked, dose dependent activity in vitro against hepatic stages of Plasmodium berghei. IC 50 values of the most active compounds 5, 7 and 9 bearing 3-fluoro, 3-chloro and 3-trifluoromethyl substituents were 3.04–4.16 µmol L−1, respectively. On the other hand, the compounds exerted only weak activity against the erythrocytic stages of two P. falciparum strains (Pf3D7 and PfDd2) in vitro, with the exception of compound 5 (IC 50 = 2.9 µmol L−1).
With the increased number of multi-drug formulations, there is a need to develop new methods for simultaneous determinations of drugs. A precise, accurate and reliable liquid chromatographic method was developed for simultaneous determination of paracetamol, thiamine, and pyridoxal phosphate in pharmaceutical formulations. Separation of analytes was carried out with an Agilent Poroshell C18 column. A mixture of ammonium phosphate buffer (pH = 3.0), acetonitrile and methanol in the ratio of 86:7:7 (V/V/V) was used as the mobile phase pumped at a flow rate of 1.8 mL min−1. Detection of all three components, impurities and degradation products was performed at the selected wavelength of 270 nm. The developed method was validated in terms of linearity, specificity, precision, accuracy, LOD and LOQ as per ICH guidelines. Linearity of the developed method was found in the range 17.5–30 µg mL−1 for thiamine, 35–60 µg mL−1 for pyridoxal phosphate and 87.5–150 µg mL−1 for paracetamol. The coefficient of determination was ≥ 0.9981 for all three analytes. The proposed HPLC method was found to be simple and reliable for the routine simultaneous analysis of paracetamol, thiamine and pyridoxal phosphate in tablet formulations. Complete separation of analytes in the presence of degradation products indicated selectivity of the method.
In the alpine belt of the Julian Alps (glacial cirque Na Jezerih under Mt. Veliki Rokav, Jarečica, the Mangart Saddle and Prodi under Mt. Mangart as well as Mt. Plešivec in the rock wall of Loška Stena) we studied the phytosociology and ecology of snow-bed vegetation with dominating flowering plants Salix herbacea, Luzula alpinopilosa, Gnaphalium supinum, Soldanella pusilla and Salix retusa, and numerous moss species. Based on the comparison with similar snow-bed communities in the Central, Eastern and Southern Alps we described a new association Salicetum retuso-herbaceae and classified it into the alliance Salicion herbaceae and class Salicetea herbaceae. We determined several successional stages of snow-bed vegetation on mixed calcareous-silicate bedrock that we treat as variants, in two relevés also the initial association Polytrichetum sexangularis.
The present paper studies the ruderal vegetation of the class of Robinietea in Kryvyi Rih. We present the spontaneous woody vegetation of parks and other artificial plantations. Urban landscapes remain unstudied phytosociologically despite the highly diverse habitat niches. We have carried out the comparisons of communities from other regions of Ukraine and adjacent territories. In total, four associations and one derivate community, belonging to three alliances, were identified and categorized as follows: Chelidonio-Acerion negundi (synanthropic tree communities with Acer negundo), Chelidonio majoris-Robinion pseudoacaciae (artificial and spontaneous plantations of Robinia pseudoacacia), Geo-Acerion platanoidis (artificial plantations of broad-leaved tree species). The ordination analysis indicates ecological differentiation of syntaxa investigated in Kryvyi Rih. The most important of them are soil aeration (Ae), the cryo-climate (Cr) and nitrogen content in soil (Nt). Critical revision of the class Robinietea syntaxonomy demands further current research.
There is an emerging challenge within water resources on how, and to what extent, borrowing concepts from landscape ecology might help re-define traditional concepts in hydrology in a more tangible manner.
A stepwise regression model was adopted in this study to assess whether the time of concentration of catchments could be explained by five landscape structure-representing metrics for land use/land cover, soil and geological patches, using spatial data from 39 catchments.
The models suggested that the times of concentration of the catchments could be predicted using the measures of four landscape structure-representing metrics, which include contiguity index (r 2 = 0.46, p ≤0.05), fractal dimension index (r 2 = 0.51, p ≤0.05), related circumscribing circle (r 2 = 0.52, p ≤0.05), and shape index (r 2 = 0.47, p ≤0.05).
The models indicated that the regularity or irregularity in land use/land cover patch shape played a key role in affecting catchment hydrological response. Our findings revealed that regularity and irregularity in the shape of a given patch (e.g., urban and semi-urban, rangeland and agricultural patches) can affect patch functions in retarding and/or increasing flow accumulation at the catchment scale, which can, in turn, decrease or increase the times of concentration in the catchments.
The study presents the application of multivariate curve resolution alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) with a correlation constraint for simultaneous resolution and quantification of ketoprofen, naproxen, paracetamol and caffeine as target analytes and triclosan as an interfering component in different water samples using UV-Vis spectrophotometric data. A multivariate regression model using the partial least squares regression (PLSR) algorithm was developed and calculated. The MCR-ALS results were compared with the PLSR obtained results. Both models were validated on external sample sets and were applied to the analysis of real water samples. Both models showed comparable and satisfactory results with the relative error of prediction of real water samples in the range of 1.70–9.75 % and 1.64–9.43 % for MCR-ALS and PLSR, resp. The obtained results show the potential of MCR-ALS with correlation constraint to be applied for the determination of different pharmaceuticals in complex environmental matrices.
Lallemantia royleana (Benth.) Benth. (Family Lamiaceae), is one of the most popular medicinal plants in Iran. It is an herbaceous pant that is commonly known as "Lady mantle". The vernacular name of Lallemantia royleana's seed is Balangu or Balangu Shirazi that is used as a source of medicine. Medicinal plants are very important from economic point of view in Iran and several large industries are focused on medicinal plants cultivation, extraction and export. Therefore, providing data on the biology of these plants is important for the country. Lallemantia royleana grows in different parts of Iran and forms several local populations. Genetic, morphological and biochemical divergence of geographical populations are well known in plant species. We have no report on population genetic structure, genetic fragmentation, local adaptation and gen flow of Lallemantia royleana populations in the country. Therefore, the present population genetics investigation was programmed to produce data on above said questions. Randomly collected plants of 7 geographical regions were studied by ISSR molecular markers. This information can be used in hybridization and gene conservation of this medicinal plant in Iran.
The primary purpose of this work was to assess the persistence of water repellency in the surface horizon of coarse-textured soils under natural Quercus robur ecosystems, and Pinus pinaster and Eucalyptus globulus plantations, in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula. Water repellency was determined by applying the water drop penetration test (WDPT) to soil samples collected from variable depths (0–40 cm). Measurements were made on field-moist samples obtained at the end of the dry period and on samples dried at 25ºC in the air. All soils exhibited very high (severe to extreme) water repellency in the topmost soil layer (0–5 cm) but no significant differences among the three plant species studied. Extreme persistence was observed down to 20 cm in the soils under eucalyptus and down to 10 cm in those under pine. The soils under oak were those exhibiting the highest variability in water repellency and the greatest decrease in it with increasing depth (especially in relation to soils under eucalyptus).
Water repellency exhibited significant positive correlation with the C content and C/N ratio of the soils. Soil water repellency was similar in the air-dried samples and field-moist samples.

Hiring processes have changed dramatically in 2020, and one practice, in particular, is here to stay. In fact, it's being heralded as the most significant new employment tool that's been added to the hiring process in the last decade.
The video interview.
While virtual interviews had begun to gain momentum even before social distancing measures came into play, their use has exploded over the last several months as a practical and efficient alternative to an in-person interview. In fact, a recent Forbes article indicates that 89% of employers are now moving toward virtual interviews.
This style of interview has its benefits, foremost among them that it's quite convenient for both the employer and the job candidate. But here's a word of advice for job seekers from the employment experts at Allison & Taylor, Inc.: don't be lulled into a false sense of familiarity when preparing for a video interview. These interviews aren't the informal conference call that many people have grown accustomed to. A formalized video interview carries just as much weight as in-person interview, and a job-seeker's opportunity to impress is much more limited.
Very often, an employer will request that a job seeker submit an video interview along with their application and/or resume. They'll either provide a list of questions they'd like answered, or present questions on the fly via their recording software as the candidate completes the interview. Either way, it's critical to be prepared, because although these video interviews are gaining popularity, they present some real challenges for a job candidate.
The technology may be unfamiliar. While many job seekers are comfortable with using a videoconferencing program like FaceTime or Zoom, employment interviewing software may present very differently. Trying to understand the process while recording an all-important interview increases the pressure in what's already a stressful situation.
There's no time to develop a rapport or charm the interviewer. Virtual interviews generally have a time limit- and it's usually no more than 5 minutes. That's a very short window in which to make a positive impression, so it's critical to understand how to make the best of that time.
Quality counts. The submission of a poor-quality interview video—one that's grainy, dark, or sounds muffled—may suggest to an employer that a candidate lacks attention to detail, or simply doesn't care enough about the job to put forth their best effort.
Answering questions professionally—and thoroughly. When the clock is ticking, it can be difficult to provide comprehensive answers to an employer's questions while still adhering to their submission guidelines. Advance planning is everything.
Managing professional presentation. That includes everything from speech patterns, to body language, to the choice of attire. Employers look at all these things, and because it's all recorded for posterity, they can evaluate it more than once.
So how can a job seeker ensure they put their best foot forward in a virtual interview?
There's a simple solution, and it comes from the employment experts at Allison & Taylor, Inc. The company offers a revolutionary service, Grade My Video Interview, that allows job seekers to submit a mock video interview to their team of specialists, who will go through the video point by point, providing comprehensive feedback and advice on all the elements employers consider during the hiring process.
