The biosynthetic gene clusters for secondary metabolites constitute approximately 10% of the whole genome, which is about twice as much as other actinomycetes (Udwary et al., 2007). It is expected that there are many untapped marine actinobacteria having the potential to produce unique chemicals, making them an invaluable resource for the discovery of novel, useful bioactive compounds. Recently, it has become easy to acquire the UV and MS spectra of many single components from a microbial cultured broth. We have explored cultured broths of microorganisms for new compounds using physicochemical (PC) screening, an approach based simply on the physicochemical properties of compounds, using LC-UV/vis diode array detection (LC/DAD), liquid chromatography combined with mass spectrometry (LC/MS) and simple color-change reactions. New compounds, such as the spoxazomicins (Inahashi et al., 2011), trehangelins (Nakashima et al., 2013), mangromicins (Nakashima et al., 2014a, 2014b, 2015), iminimycins (Nakashima et al., 2016a, b), and sagamilactam (Kimura et al., 2016), were successfully discovered from metabolites of actinomycete strains by our PC screening. In our course of PC screening, UV/vis and MS spectraguided fractionation of a cultured broth of a marine actinomycete strain, Mumia sp. YSP-2-79, led to the discovery of a new compound, named mumiamicin (1), which consists of fatty acid and furan moieties (Fig. 1). Actinomycete strain YSP-2-79 was one of the strains isolated Mumiamicin: Structure and bioactivity of a new furan fatty acid from Mumia sp. YSP-2-79
Study of contamination of Staphylococci and E . Coli Bacteria in different types of milk

Fifty four milk samples of raw and pasteurized / boiled milk samples were collected from different sources of milk supply in Kanpur city and bacteriological analysis was done in laboratory. In raw milk Staphylococci count/ ml, SPC/ml and Coliform count /ml were found highest in hawker’s milk followed by town dairies /Ghosies and C.S. A. University dairy milk Kanpur. In Parag milk (co--operative board milk, pasteurized) and Halwais milk (boiled) Staphylococcal and coliform contamination were totally absent. In Gyan dairy milk although it was pasteurized showed staphylococci and coliform contamination.SPC/ml in pasteurized /boiled milk were highest in Halwais milk, followed by Gyan dairy milk and co-operative board milk. Plasma coaguase test was found negative in all the cases of staphylococcal contamination, showed the total absence of Streptococcus aureus (coagulase positive staphylococci). Co-relation coefficient (r) was found highly significant between Staphylococci count/ml and SPC/ml of milk and between Staphylococci count/ml and Coliform count/ml of milk.
AFIS Based Likelihood Ratios for Latent Fingerprint Comparisons

AFIS based likelihood ratios for latent fingerprint comparisons Shreya Sateesh Kamath Latent fingerprints are one of the most common pieces of evidence found on a crime scene and represent accidental or unintentional prints collected as part of a criminal investigation. They are caused when the friction ridge skin comes in contact with a surface, and thus requires the use of chemical processing to be visualized with the naked eye. The comparison and identification of fingerprints depends on various factors such as the substrate quality, surface, duration, environmental factors and examiner experience. These factors can result in reduced clarity or content, and can even cause distortions as compared to a fingerprint taken under controlled conditions. Since the release of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) report in 2009, the field of fingerprint analysis has come under much scrutiny. Specifically, the need for more research into the determination of the accuracy and reliability of the identifications made by fingerprint examiners has been raised. One such method used for the comparison of latent fingerprints to known prints is through an Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS). The AFIS used in this research was the AFIX Tracker R © where five variables were assessed: match score, match minutiae, match status, delta match score and marked minutiae, to determine which variable(s) was a better indicator of a true match. Bayesian networks were then constructed to compute the likelihood ratios to evaluate the dependency of the variables on one another, where the performance of the likelihood ratios in determining the identity of the unknown latent was assessed using Tippett and ECE plots. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves and Bayesian networks were constructed to perform statistical analysis of the matches obtained while comparing a latent print to a ten-print card. A combination of Tippett and Empirical Cross Entropy (ECE) plots were used to assess the performance of the AFIX Tracker R © in classifying unknown prints. It was observed that a match minutiae of 15 or higher resulted in a 100% true match result whereas for the nonmatches, no more than 13 match minutiae were found. Moreover, the delta match scores difference between the matches and non-matches were notable (delta score of 0.1-153 for matches compared to a score of 0-0.1 for the non-matches). Overall, it was determined that approximately 87% of the time a randomly selected known match would have a higher number of match minutiae as compared to a non-match. The purpose of this study was to perform a statistical analysis on the matches obtained while comparing a latent print to a ten-print sample using the AFIS. In this research study,
L1 Use in L2 Writing: A Case of Multilingual Undergraduates in a Basic Writing Course

The study entitled “L1 Use in L2 Writing: A Case of Multilingual Undergraduates in a Basic Writing Course” is a qualitative case study research carried out to find out the purposes for which undergraduate students use their L1s in an L2 Basic Writing course in the US university context, their perceptions regarding the effects of their use of L1s in L2 writing, and the ways they utilize their prior experience of writing academic essays while they are writing similar types of texts in L2. To these ends, the data were collected from the students enrolled in the Basic Writing course in a state university in the Mid-western part of the US. There were eighteen participants with eight different L1 backgrounds. Open-ended questionnaire and further followup questions were the tools for the data collection. The data for the study were collected during the 2017 Fall semester. Thus, the data collected in this way were codified using MAXQDA and analyzed and interpreted based on the recurring themes. The analysis of the data shows that multilingual writers make use of their L1s for generating ideas, reducing cognitive load, finding target language words, finding the information required to write essays and backtranslating. Regarding whether it is beneficial to use their L1s, they believe that it can be both facilitating such as easy to think and debilitating such as fear of making mistakes. Similarly, when it comes to the case of the use of prior knowledge, they mainly use their prior experience of writing for structuring their essays. Based on the findings, pedagogical implications have been drawn.
Equivalence of Topological Codes and Fast Decoding Algorithms [ 1 ]

Topological stabilizer codes (TSC), introduced by Kitaev [14], are among the most promising quantum error correcting codes that could lead to realistic quantum computer architectures. In particular, because they have geometrically local check operators, they are especially well suited to architectures in which qubits are arranged in a lattice and only local operations are available. In addition, logical operators are closely related to the topology of the lattice, providing a macroscopic minimum distance. TSCs can be shown to operate reliably in the presence of a considerable amount of noise, with a faulttolerant threshold of 0.75% [18]. They are to be contrasted with, e.g., concatenated codes where the number of qubits involved in each syndrome measurement grows linearly with the size of the code, thus increasing the complexity of the error correction procedure and lowering the threshold. In addition, TSCs have been a very fertile playground for condensed matter physics because they provide exactly solvable models with complex phenomena such as topological order and anyonic excitations [7, 10, 15]. The connection is as follows. One can think of a stabilizer error correcting code as the ground subspace of a local Hamiltonian
The role of the image of a conspecific in the regulation of stereotypic head movements in the horse

Weaving is a common locomotor stereotypy in horses, which has been shown to be reduced by the presence of a mirror in the stable; however, it remains unclear whether this effect is due to the reflected image of a horse or some other property associated with the introduction of a mirror. To investigate this further, the response of six known weaving horses to each of three different types of poster was recorded. The poster images consisted of a life-size image of a horse’s face (true image), a version of the same image cut into 54 squares, which were then randomly rearranged (pixilated image) and a blank (white image) display of the same size as the other posters. Four observation periods were included in each of the two days of observation per treatment condition: 08:00–08:30 h, 10:00–10:30 h, 12:00–12:30 h and 16:00–17:00 h. The first observation period was followed by the provision of concentrate feed and forage, the second observation period by exercise, the third by further forage and the fourth by concentrate feed and forage. The horses’ activities and positions in the box were scanned at 1 min intervals and the number of observations registering each activity and position was calculated as a percentage of the total number of observations for each observation period. Weaving was significantly less when the horses were provided with the image of a horse’s face (mean percentage of observations S.E.M.; 5.56 1.57), compared to both the pixilated (14.85 3.06) and white (20.52 4.12) images. Nodding was significantly less when provided with the true image of a horse (0.45 0.15) compared to the pixilated image (2.15 0.67).

The presence of the image of the horse’s face was associated with a significant increase in alertness (F112,2 = 11.31, p < 0.001) and recorded time spent looking at the poster(F112,2 = 3.46, p < 0.05). The timing of stereotypic head movements in the horse in this study suggests that they are not associated with boredom, or lack of stimulation but rather acute frustration. # 2004 Elsevier B.V.

Unsupervised Feature Selection by Pareto Optimization

Dimensionality reduction is often employed to deal with the data with a huge number of features, which can be generally divided into two categories: feature transformation and feature selection. Due to the interpretability, the efficiency during inference and the abundance of unlabeled data, unsupervised feature selection has attracted much attention. In this paper, we consider its natural formulation, column subset selection (CSS), which is to minimize the reconstruction error of a data matrix by selecting a subset of features. We propose an anytime randomized iterative approach POCSS, which minimizes the reconstruction error and the number of selected features simultaneously. Its approximation guarantee is well bounded. Empirical results exhibit the superior performance of POCSS over the state-of-the-art algorithms.
Clavien System Classification of Complications Developed following Laparoscopic Urological Operations Applied in our Clinic

Objectives: We analyzed the complications of laparoscopic surgery using Clavien system classification on 396 urological procedures performed at our institution between 2005-2009. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed, focusing on complications associated with 396 laparoscopic surgeries performed between 2005 and 2009, which included radical and simple nephrectomy (n=188), partial nephrectomy (n=29), pyeloplasty (n=78), sacrocolpopexy (n=16) and radical prostatectomy (n=85). Complication data were tabulated according to the case number, procedure type, patient age, the American Society of Anesthesiologists score (ASA), Clavien classification system and annual complication rate during this study. Statistical analysis was performed with Fisher’s exact and chi-square tests. Results: A total of 75 patients had complications during the study period. Thus, the total postoperative complication rate was 18.9%. When sub-stratified to various surgical procedures, complication rates were: laparoscopic radical and simple nephrectomy (11.1%), laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (37.9%), laparoscopic pyeloplasty (15.3%), laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (18.7%) and laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (32.9%). When the complications were classified according to Clavien Classification System stage 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, complication rate was observed in 11.6%, 13.8%, 1.2%, 1%, and 0% of patients, respectively. A correlation was not identified between ASA score and complication rate (p=0.02). Conclusion: The data presented here would enable us to compare our complication rates objectively with world literature.
EVALUATION OF MICROBIOLOGICAL QUALITY OF FRESHWATER FISH IN USMA LAKE

Microorganisms may colonize the skin, gills and the gut of fish reflecting the bacterial load of aquatic environment. Altogether 22 samples of freshwater fish, including European perch (Perca fluviatilis n=7), silver bream (Blicca bjoerkna n=4) and European eel (Anguilla anguilla n=11) were collected during September 2014 from Usma lake in Latvia. Samples of gills, skin and gut of each fish were examined for the Total Bacterial Count (TBC), Enterobacteriaceae, fecal coliforms and psychrotrophic bacteria count. Pooled samples of skin, muscles, gut and internal organs from each fish were investigated for the presence of Salmonella spp. , Listeria spp. and Yersinia spp. The highest count of TBC was found on skin of silver bream -7.96 log10 cfu cm-2, while the lowest in gut of European eel 2.16 log10 cfu g -1. Also the highest count of Enterobacteriaceae was found on European perch skin (6.63 log10 cfu cm -2). The lowest count of Enterobactericeae was found on skin of European eel (0.41 log10 cfu cm -2). Number of fecal coliforms was higher on skin of silver bream 5.43 log10 cfu cm -2. The lowest number of fecal coliforms was found in gills of European perch (3.42 log10 cfu g -1), while fecal coliforms were not isolated from European eel gut. Number of psychrotrophic bacteria was the highest in gills of European perch (6.23 log10 cfu g -1), but the lowest psychrotrophic bacteria counts were observed in gills of European eel (2.24 log10 cfu g -1). All samples were Salmonella spp. , Listeria spp. , Yersinia spp. negative. Contamination rates with TBC, Enterobacteriaceae, fecal coliforms and psychrotrophic microorganisms were significantly lower in eels (p<0.05) than in silver bream and European perch. Differences in microbiological contamination of tested samples could be linked to different ecology of fish.
GROWTH AND PRODUCTIVITY OF HYBRID RICE AS INFLUENCED BY CROP ESTABLISHMENT TECHNIQUES , NITROGEN LEVELS AND HOMO-BRASSINOLIDE

In a field experiment two crop establishment techniques viz. SRI and traditional, four nitrogen levels viz. N0, N50, N100 and N150 kg ha -1 and two spraying of homo-brassinolide viz. at panicle initiation (PI) stage and PI+ flowering stages. The results showed that SRI technique of crop establishment improved leaf area index (LAI), crop growth rate (CGR), total chlorophyll content and increased the grain yield, straw yield and harvest index. The leaf area index (LAI), crop growth rate (CGR), total chlorophyll content and increased the grain yield, straw yield and harvest index increased markedly by increasing nitrogen levels and spraying homo-brassinolide at PI+ flowering stages. SRI techniques of crop establishment recorded significantly higher grain yield (6603 and 6925 kg ha) as compared to traditional technique of crop establishment (5675 and 6039 kg ha) respectively. The highest grain yield (7508 and 7801 kg ha) was produced in crop receiving nitrogen 150 kg ha. Similarly, the highest grain yield (6507 and 6914 kg ha) was recorded in crop with spraying of homo-brassinolide at panicle initiation + flowering stages, respectively, during the both years.
Immigrant women have lower attendance rates than non-immigrants in the Norwegian Breast Cancer Screening Programme

Objective: The Norwegian Breast Cancer Screening Programme invites women aged 50–69 to biennial mammographic screening. Although 84% of invited women have attended at least once, attendance rates vary across the country. We investigated attendance rates among various immigrant groups compared with non-immigrants in the programme. Methods: There were 4,053,691 invitations sent to 885,979 women between 1996 and 2015. Using individual level population-based data from the Cancer Registry and Statistics Norway, we examined percent attendance and calculated incidence rate ratios, comparing immigrants with nonimmigrants, using Poisson regression, following women's first invitation to the programme and for ever having attended. Results: Immigrant women had lower attendance rates than the rest of the population, both following the first invitation (53.1% versus 76.1%) and for ever having attended (66.9% versus 2 86.4%). Differences in attendance rates between non-immigrant and immigrant women were less pronounced, but still present, when adjusted for sociodemographic factors. We also identified differences in attendance between immigrant groups. Attendance increased with duration of residency in Norway. A subgroup analysis of migrants' daughters showed that 70.0% attended following the first invitation, while 82.3% had ever attended. Conclusions: Immigrant women had lower breast cancer screening attendance rates. The rationale for immigrant women's non-attendance needs to be explored through further studies targeting women from various birth countries and regions.
A Comparative Study of Efficacy of Oral Misoprostol versus Vaginal Misoprostol in the Induction of Labor from 34 to 40 Weeks Gestation

DOI: 10.21276/sjm.2018. 3.7. 10 Abstract: The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of oral versus vaginal misoprostol in the induction of labor after 34 weeks of gestation to 40 weeks gestation and to find out any variation in the maternal and fetal outcome. Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Prathima Institute of Medical Sciences, Karimnagar, and Telangana state for the period of one year. In the present study 100, antenatal women who are more than 34 weeks of gestation and who need induction of labor were selected for the study. To calculate the EDD, calculated using Naegele’s Formula. Women divided into Group A – 50 pregnant women, aged 1832 years; with oral administration of 25 mcg Misoprost every 4th hourly, maximum of 6 doses (150mcg). Group B 50 pregnant women, aged 18-32 years, with vaginal administration of 25mcg Misoprost every 4th hourly, maximum of doses of 6 doses(150mcg). In all the patients, the cervical status was assessed by using Bishop's score prior to induction. Repeat bishop's score was assessed at 4th hour and then before every repeat dose. Results: Parity a total of 57 women was primigravida while 43 were multigravida. For oral group 29 cases (58%) were primigravida, 21 cases (42%) were multigravida for the vaginal group, 28 cases (56%) were primigravida, 22 cases (44%) were multigravida. Augmentation with Oxytocin Of the total, 45% of the cases were on Oxytocin while remaining was not. For Oral Group 27 cases (54%) required augmentation with Oxytocin. Failed Induction In the study group, nearly 3% of the cases failed induction. In Oral group Failed induction incidence was in 3 cases (6%). In the Vaginal group, there was no failure of induction. 75% of the cases had a normal delivery, 12% showed vacuum delivery followed by C section (10%) and 3% cases had the forceps delivery.
An Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian Formulation with Exact Mass Conservation for the Numerical Simulation of a Rising Bubble in a Viscoelastic Fluid

The arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) framework presented in [Sahin and Guventurk, An Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian framework with exact mass conservation for the numerical simulation of 2D rising bubble problem. International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, 112:2110-2134, (2017)] has been initially extended to three-dimensional multiphase ows. In the present formulation, the governing equations are discretized over the unstructured moving meshes using the divergence-free side-centered nite volume formulation with the exact jump conditions across the interface. Therefore, the pressure eld is treated to be discontinuous with the discontinuous treatment of density and viscosity. The surface tension term at the interface is handled as a force tangent to the interface. A special attention is given to the application of the kinematic boundary condition to be compatible with the local and global discrete geometric conservation laws (DGCL) as well as the discrete form of the continuity equation in order to conserve the total mass of both species at machine precision. The mesh deformation is achieved by solving the linear elasticity equations with the modi ed material properties based on the minimum distance to the interface. Then, the numerical method has been further extended to viscoelastic multiphase ows using the approach in [M. Sahin, A stable unstructured nite volume method for parallel large-scale viscoelastic uid ow calculations. Journal of non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics, 166:779-791, (2011)]. The resulting algebraic equations are solved in a fully coupled (monolithic) manner and a one-level restricted additive Schwarz preconditioner with a block-incomplete factorization is utilized within each partitioned sub-domain. The proposed method is initially validated by simulating the classical three-dimensional benchmark problems of a single rising bubble in a Newtonian uid and then it will be applied to a rising bubble in an Oldroyd-B uid. The mass of the bubble is conserved and discontinuous pressure eld is obtained in order to avoid errors due to the incompressibility condition in the vicinity of the interface.
