STUDIES ON ORGANOLEPTIC QUALITIES OF ORANGE BASED BLENDED READY-TO-SERVE ( RTS ) BEVERAGES

Every fruits have specific nutritional value, colour, taste and flavour. Fruits are important source of vitamins, minerals, fibre and carbohydrates etc. Orange specially, the sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L.) is a deciduous tree belongs to family Rutaceae. Sweet orange is the most commonly grown fruit in the world and widely cultivated in tropical and sub-tropical climates for the delicious sweet fruit which is peeled or cut (to avoid the bitter rind) and eaten whole, or processed to extract orange juice, ready-to-serve (RTS) beverages, cordial, nectar etc. In India, orange has been cultivated in 3,11,176 ha area with an annual production of 29.06 lakh tonnes (Anonymons, 2013). Major orange producing states are Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Assam and Tripura. In some parts of Madhya Pradesh, particularly in Mandsaur, Neemuch, Chhindwada, Betul and Ujjain districts, orange is being cultivated on large scale. The area under orange in Madhya Pradesh is about 49,520 ha and production is 8,44,000 MT with productivity of 17.0 MT/ha (Anonymons, 2013).
1 Changes in medicinal plant knowledge among the 2 Waorani society , Ecuador 3

This paper explores how the medicinal plant knowledge of the Waorani indigenous 10 society in Ecuador varies in accordance with both socio-economic and demographic factors. 11 Medicinal plant knowledge was compared at both individual and community levels. Fifty-nine 12 semi-structured interviews (men n=30, women n= 29) were performed with people between fifteen 13 and seventy years old in five Waorani communities located within the Yasuní Biosphere Reserve. 14 Results show a positive correlation between an individual’s medicinal plant knowledge and age, a 15 negative correlation between medicinal plant knowledge and the years of schooling, and differences 16 among isolated and easily accessible communities. Reasons behind these findings are seen in the 17 rapid socio-cultural changes of the Waorani society due to globalization processes. Increased 18 accessibility to health centers, improved transportation infrastructure and changes in how 19 knowledge is transmitted to young people all result in a loss of ethnobotanical knowledge. 20 Policymakers need to take action in order to ensure the maintenance of ethnoecological knowledge 21 among the Waorani. 22
Agro-Morphological Study on Several Accessions of Garden Cress (Lepidium SATIVUM - BRASSICACEAE) IN IRAN

In this research, the genetic variation of six Iranian garden cress (Lepidium sativum) accessions was studied by 21 agromorphological traits. A significant variation was observed in 6 out of 21 traits including shoot dry weight, petiole length, shoot height in flowering stage, petal length, and sepal length and width. The minimum shoot dry weight was in ‘Ghayen’, while, ‘Isfahan II’, ‘Malayer’ and ‘Varamin’ accessions showed higher weight than average. The shoot dry weight ranged between 0.5-4.3 g. Days to 75% flowering varied from 53 days (Isfahan I and Isfahan II) to 74 days (Ghayen), that the latter would be possible as a source for selection of late maturing types. The principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis were used to identify the patterns of variation and detect the relationships among accessions. The first two PCAs could explain 92.9% of the total variance. Petal length and sepal length and width had the highest positive correlation in PCA1. The PCA2 included shoot dry weight, petiole length and shoot height in flowering stage. In cluster analysis, accessions classified in three major clusters. No relationships were found between genetic variation and geographical origin. Key word: Cluster analysis, Genetic diversity, Germplasm, Morphological traits.

UPWARDS FIRED BULLET TERMINAL VELOCITY

A numerical study is carried out to investigate a 7.62 mm upwards fired bullet flight at the trajectory apex and falling after that. The bullet model includes an aerodynamic model which basically covers angles of attack up to 180o. Computational fluid dynamics is utilized to estimate the aerodynamic properties at the high angles of attack. The role of Magnusphenomena at the apex and in the descent is particularly studied. A buffeting-type phenomenon, new to the present authors in this particular context was detected in the simulations. In case of bullet-flow frequency matching the bullet fast mode oscillation is seen to grow which may retard falling velocity at the late part of descending flight phase. The simulated bullet terminal velocities were compared with scarce experimental data available and the agreement was found satisfactory.
Effect of pidotimod combined with azithromycin on children with mycoplasma pneumonia and the expression levels of IL-10 and G-CSF in serum

This study explored the effect of pidotimod combined with azithromycin on children with mycoplasma pneumonia and the expression of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) in serum. The clinical data of 149 children with mycoplasma pneumonia from May 2014 to May 2018 in Zhangqiu District Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital were collected. Among them, 70 children treated with azithromycin sequential therapy were the control group, and 79 children treated with the combination of pidotimod and azithromycin were the observation group. Double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine the expression levels of IL-10 and G-CSF in serum before and after treatment. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between IL-10 and G-CSF in serum. The total effective rate in the observation group (94.94%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (81.43%) (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the expression levels of IL-10 and G-CSF between the two groups before treatment (P>0.05). The expression levels of IL-10 and G-CSF in the two groups after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment (P<0.05). After treatment, the expression levels of IL-10 and G-CSF in serum in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group. There was a significant positive correlation between the expression levels of IL-10 and G-CSF before and after treatment in the observation group (P<0.05), and a significant positive correlation between the expression levels of IL-10 and G-CSF before and after treatment in the control group (P<0.05). Compared with sequential treatment with azithromycin alone, pidotimod combined with azithromycin significantly reduced the expression levels of IL-10 and G-CSF in serum of children with mycoplasma pneumonia, improved the curative effect and reduced the occurrence of adverse reactions, which has high application value in clinic.
SOLVENT EXTRACTION OF OIL FROM SOURSOP OILSEEDS & ITS QUALITY CHARACTERIZATION

This study focused on optimization of oil extraction from Soursop oilseeds using Box-Behnken design an allied of Response Surface Methodology (RSM), it also examine the physicochemical properties and fatty acid profile of the oil. Based on the design, 17 experimental runs were conducted to investigate the effects of variables and their reciprocal interactions on the oil yield. A quadratic polynomial and the ANOVA test showed the model to be remarkably significant (p< 0.05). A statistical model predicted the highest oil yield to be 34.6074% (w/w) at the optimal condition of X1 = 38.10 min, X2 = 30.00g and X3 = 100 ml. The experiment was validated as 33.593% (w/w) of oil. The fatty acid profile of the oil revealed the oil to be highly unsaturated (73.42%). The physicochemical properties of extracted oil revealed that the oil is edible and could serve as feedstock for many industrial applications. This may provide useful information regarding the development of economic and efficient processes using solvent extraction method.
WITHIN A HYBRID RECEPTOR MODELING SYSTEM

ENSCO, Inc. is developing systems for imputing source locations using transport and dispersion modeling in combination with sample records of pollutant concentrations. These data are analyzed within the general framework commonly referred to as hybrid receptor modeling in which a statistic (an estimate of conditional probability) is calculated for each grid square based on the relative strength of association between the passage of air parcels over that grid square and the arrivals of those air parcels at the receptor during times of elevated pollutant concentrations.
Predictive Retention and Integration Model-86201-THE PREDICTIVE RETENTION AND INTEGRATION STATISTICAL MODEL ( PRISM )

Retention of students is a major concern in higher education. The majority of studies on retention have focused solely on traditional undergraduate students. In addition, these studies have established a need for the development of a universal predictive retention model. In this paper three primary facets of student retention were evaluated and used in the development of such a model to predict student retention based on data from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Standard Vagueness and Social Preferences : Turning Results Around

Hoeppner and Lyhs (2015) have investigated the presence of defensive behaviour and negligence when legal standards are uncertain, based on a theoretical model by Calfee and Craswell (1986) . In the current paper I expand the model to include theories of social preferences, to test the robustness of Hoeppner and Lyhs (2015)? s results and take a closer look at the specific effect of legal standard vagueness in principal-agent relationships and whether prosocial preferences can mitigate the occurrence of defensive behaviour. I replicate the presence of overcompliance, without the characteristic Ushaped relationship between precaution and the level of standard vagueness. Furthermore, I do not find a difference in behaviour when a second player is affected by the level of precaution. Results cast doubt on the theoretical predictions of Calfee and Craswell (1986) as well as on the experimental results of Hoeppner and Lyhs (2015) and consistently point to defensive behavior, as a consequence ofstandard vagueness. I also show that internalized pro-social preferences influence decision making at relatively low levels of standard vagueness, but loose theircoordinating potential when standards become sufficiently vague. “Much of the uncertainty of law is not an unfortunate accident: it is of immense social value. ” — Sonia Sotomayor (1996), Returning Majesty To The Law and Politics: A Modern Approach, p. v ∗ Friedrich Schiller University, Jena, Germany (k: Laura.Lyhs@uni-jena.de).

Extension of the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL/OGR) for OpenDRIVE Support in GIS Applications for Visualisation and Data Accumulation for Driving Simulators

Intelligen Transportation Systems (ITS) are envisioned to improve road safety, traffic effciency, sustainable transport and information services, through multi-modal means of transportation and its integration across an Information and Communications (ICT) platform. In this sense, many location-based services demand the support of speciffc source of georeferenced data and its modeling. Due to the nature of the spatial data, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and techniques are required for the analysis and manipulation of geodata. Moreover, given the intrinsic relationship between ITS and the geo-sciences, the terms GIS-T or Geo-ITS have been coined in the last years. Major challenges regarding the transport networks generation include the heterogeneity of the data and the diversity of the sources, as well as, different content and formats. In addition to this, the geodata require accuracy and precision, particularly for simulation purposes and real-world implementations. In this context, the spatial data are key components for the simulation and the spatial processing engines in the ITS sphere. Nevertheless, one problem is the few available geotools for management and visualization of the data, for one of the most used simulation formats: the OpenDRIVE standard. OpenDRIVE is considered the standard de-facto for the driving simulation community, however, few management tools have been provided to facilitate the manipulation and visualization of these data. For this reason, this master thesis focuses on the conceptualization, modeling and implementation of the XODR-Driver; a geo-processing toolbox for the OpenDRIVE data format. The XODR-Driver provides the functionality to translate the OpenDRIVE files to the standard GIS vectorial representation. XODR-Driver also enables the general GIS framework and its inherit vectorial operations for the OpenDRIVE format. The contribution of this work is the OpenDRIVE XODR-Driver, a functional software module, with a modular architecture which implements the mathematical models for the road layout descriptions of the reference line or track.
Effect of Mineral Nitrogen , Sulphur , Organic and Bio-Fertilizations on Some Physical and Chemical Properties and Maize Productivity in Saline Soil of Sahl El-Tina

A field experiment was conducted at Sahl ElTina plain in two successive summer seasons, 2010 and 2011 to study the effect of using compost, sulphur, bio-fertilization, N–mineral fertilizer and their combinations on soil chemical and physical properties and productivity of (Zea mays L) cultivar Triple hybrid 310 on sandy clay loam soil. The obtained results indicated that, EC (dSm) and pH values of the studied soil were decreased as a result of applying the combined treatments, bio+sulphur, bio+compost bio+compost+sulphur and at the rate of 75 % N/fed, respectively. Also the OM content (%) was increased by using compost individual or combined with other treatments compared to control. Applying bio + compost + sulphur had increasing the soil bulk density and total porosity values as compared to control and sulphur treatments. The values of field capacity and wilting point in all plots increased with increasing the applied treatments compared to control. The values of available water increased being to increase the field capacity. The values of water holding pores (W.H.P) were higher than the other pores in different fertilizer. The highest diameters of dry and wet aggregates had affected by the individual sulphur or compost while the lowest ones had affected by the compined sulphur, compost and bio. While the percentages of other sizes of dry stable aggregates decrease as their diameters decrease, especially the aggregates those have diameters less than 0.063 mm which the lowest values were found. The high values of total stable aggregates were observed in all the applying treatments compared to control treatment. The crop yield gave the higher straw, grain and biological yield in the treatment of bio+ compost + sulphur + 75% N/fed compared to the other treatments. Key word: Saline soils – Compost – sulphur – Bio-fertilizerzea maize productivity.
Progressive Back Pain due to Aspergillus nidulans Vertebral Osteomyelitis in an Immunocompetent Patient: Surgical and Antifungal Management

Case Report Aspergillus osteomyelitis is a destructive and progressive infection that has been described both in immunosuppressed and in immunocompetent hosts. We describe a case of lumbar vertebral osteomyelitis in a 61-year-old immunocompetent patient due to Aspergillus nidulans that was successfully treated with a combination of extensive surgical debridement, spinal stabilization, and a prolonged course of antifungal therapy. Imaging demonstrated findings consistent with L3 discitis. The biopsy grew Aspergillus fungus and was treated with vorconizole. Imaging showed progressive destructive osteomyelitis at L3-L4. Patient underwent anterior L3 and L4 partial corpectomies, anterior interbody fusion L3-L5, and posterior T11-S2 pedicle screw and rod fixation. Antifungal treatment resulted in resolution of infection. Aspergillus markers remain negative. One year following definitive treatment, the patient's back pain remains resolved. Conclusion Definitive surgical resection of the infection, spinal stabilization, and aggressive antifungal therapy were required to eradicate the infection.
Toward Better Use of Lightning Data in Operational Forecasting

Lightning is a well-known weather hazard that typically kills between 50 to 100 people in the United States each year. It is thus on a par with tornadoes and flash floods as a cause of weather-related fatalities. Many more people are struck by lightning and survive, but suffer longterm health problems. Lightning also starts many house fires and wild fires, and often causes local to widespread power outages affecting thousands of electric utility customers.
PRODUCTION , ISOLATION AND STRUCTURAL ELUCIDATION OF A NOVEL ANTIMICROBIAL METABOLITE FROM THE ENDOPHYTIC FUNGUS , PHOMOPSIS / DIAPORTHE

The present study was aimed to isolate endophytic fungi from five different medicinal plants and to structurally elucidate an antimicrobial compound from Phomopsis theae (asexual synonym of Phomopsis theae (syn. Diaporthe theae), an endophyte is the first and hitherto the only recorded Phomopsis/Diaporthe species isolated from Vitex negundo in Tamilnadu. A total of 77 coelomycetous endophytic fungi were isolated and identified based on spore morphology and the mechanism of spore production. Among 77 endophytic fungi, the isolate, Phomopsis/Diaporthe theae showed excellent antimicrobial activity against all the human pathogens tested. Further, its fermentation conditions were optimized to enhance the antimicrobial metabolites production. Bioassay guided fractionation of crude ethyl acetate extract of Phomopsis/Diaporthe theae led to the isolation of a novel antibacterial and anticandidal compound, which was later identified as pyrimidine imino methylfuran derivative (1). This compound showed pronounced antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeroginosa and Candida albicans even at very low concentration (5 μg/mL) and the MIC was found to be 1.25 μg/mL against all the pathogens. Thus, the obtained results convincingly suggest that Phomopsis/Diaporthe theae could be a promising candidate for the discovery of new antibiotics.
Fiscal rule and shock amplification : A stochastic endogenous growth model

This paper develops a discrete-time stochastic endogenous growth model to study the amplification role of fiscal rules. In our model, transitory shocks exert permanent effects on the level of variables in equilibrium (hysteresis), and can be strongly amplified by the public debt adjustment, leading to a procyclical amplification mechanism (the "public debt accelerator"). This procyclical stance depends on the speed of adjustment of the debt-to-GDP ratio under a fixed-fiscal rule. A cold turkey strategy removes the public debt shock, but at the risk of destabilizing other variables, while a gradualist strategy has a stabilization effect, with detrimental consequences in the long-run. Finally, we show that a flexible-fiscal rule helps smooth aggregate variables by limiting the cuts in productive public spending.
Probabilistic forecasting of bubbles and flash crashes

We propose a near explosive random coefficient autoregressive model (NERC) to obtain predictive probabilities of the apparition and devolution of bubbles. The distribution of the autoregressive coefficient of this model is allowed to be centred at an O(T−α) distance of unity, with α ∈ (0, 1). When the expectation of the autoregressive coefficient lies on the explosive side of unity, the NERC helps to model the temporary explosiveness of time series and obtain related predictive probabilities. We study the asymptotic properties of the NERC and provide a procedure for inference on the parameters. In empirical illustrations, we estimate predictive probabilities of bubbles or flash crashes in financial asset prices.
Traceability system of olive oil : a case study based on the performance of a new software cloud

For all the European agrifood establishments from the year 2005 it became mandatory the Regulation EC 178/2002 which obliges them to implement an internal system for tracking and tracing (T&T) of the products; the Regulations that has introduced an ‘obligatory route’ that consists of the construction of the ‘certified historic’ of a food or an ingredient along the supply chain. The Regulation concerns all food companies and in particular those in which there are different actors that contribute to obtaining the final product as in the case of the supply chain of olive oil. Informatics with modern technology allows us to provide the company with a software solution, usable as a web application, everything housed on a system cloud server. The project goal was to implement a WebApplication based on Cloud Platform and centralize all information about to the context of the production of olive oil. The results showed that the centralization of data provided by the software in question permit the various figures of the supply chain of olive oil to collaborate in an environment where you get all the information in real time. The system implements algorithms that provide notification messages that indicate if there are any delays in production/processing in terms of quality of the olive oil sought. The operators and final customer will be equipped with an APP free for smartphones, which allow you to detect in a simple and immediate all data (in synchronize with the cloud system) and to get the product TRACEABILITY.
