Improve the quality of English Cake by using of some Enzymes

Bakeries occupy an important position in human nutrition locally and globally. Given the gap between production and consumption, governments are importing wheat from different countries. Ukrainian wheat is therefore the most widely used wheat in Egypt and Iraq. In order to match their characteristics with the local concessions, whether Egyptian or Iraqi.The study investigated the use of Ukrainian wheat in the production of 72% flour for the manufacture of English cake. The study also included the evaluation of some enzyme enhancers, which included αamylase (0.3%) and glucose oxidase (0.1%). The study also examined the characteristics of the English cake in terms of (chemical composition, gluten, rheology, textures, staling, microbiology, sensory) during the storage period of 12 days at 25 ± 1 ° C. The results showed a clear and noticeable improvement of all technological characteristics under study, the most important of which was the increase of the validity period to reach 12 days for the English cake compared to the sample (control). Therefore, the study recommends the use of the following α-amylase, commercial glucose oxidase in the manufacture of some bakery products.
Expression of CD 9 and CD 82 in Papillary Thyroid Microcarcinoma and Its Prognostic Significance

Papillary thyroid microcarcinoma is a well-known malignant neoplasm with good prognosis. The known prognostic factors are patient’s age, multifocality, and extrathyroidal extension. CD9 and CD82, members of the tetraspanin family, are expressed in numerous cancer cells and play many roles associated with the cellular process. We investigated the immunohistochemical expression of CD9 and CD82 in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma and analysed the clinicopathological and prognostic significance. For the retrospective analysis, we collected the cases of 553 PTMC patients who had undergone thyroidectomy. The group with lymph node metastasis showed higher immunostaining intensity for CD9 than the group without metastasis (p = 0.002). In multivariate analysis, high CD9 intensity (OR = 1.58 in 3+, p = 0.0025) correlated with lymph node metastasis. We suggest CD9 as a predictive prognostic factor for lymph node metastasis in PTMC.
Role of VEGF-2578 C / A , + 936 C / T and-460 T / C genetic polymorphisms in the risk of ovarian cancer in Chinese women

In the present study, we carried out a hospital-based case-control study to investigate the association between VEGF genetic polymorphisms (-2578C/A rs699947, +936C/T rs3025039 and -460T/C rs833061) and risk of developing ovarian cancer. The case-control study comprised 163 patients with ovarian cancer and 276 controls were recruited into our study between January 2013 and January 2015. The VEGF -2578C/A, +936C/T and -460T/C polymorphisms was determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). We found statistically significant differences between ovarian cancer patients and control subjects in terms of VEGF -2578C/A (χ2=15.83, P<0.001). Using unconditional logistic regression analysis, the C/A and A/A genotypes of VEGF -2578C/A increased the risk of ovarian cancer when compared to the C/C genotype, and the adjusted Ors (95% CI) were 1.92 (1.22-3.02) and 3.70 (1.45-9.94), respectively. Moreover, the A allele of VEGF -2578C/A was associated with an increased risk towards ovarian cancer compared with the C allele (OR=2.03, 95% CI=1.43-2.88). In conclusion, we suggests that VEGF-2578C/AC polymorphism was associated with the risk of developing ovarian cancer in a Chinese population.
Gossip and Epidemic Protocols

A gossip protocol is a distributed communication paradigm inspired by the gossip phenomenon that can be observed in social networks. Initially born to efficiently disseminate information, as its human counterpart, it has been later used to solve several other problems, such as failure detection, data aggregation, distributed topology construction, resource allocation – just to name a few. Gossip protocols tend to be used in contexts where both the scale and the dynamism of the underlying communication network make the adoption of traditional communication protocols highly unpractical. In this article, we first introduce a collection of gossip protocols for information diffusion, and we provide an analytical model to study their performance with respect to speed and quality of the diffusion. We then introduce three examples of gossip-based protocols that solve the most diverse problems, namely membership management, aggregation and overlay topology construction.
Attraction of Rhagoletis indifferens ( Diptera : Tephritidae ) to White Light in the Presence and Absence of Ammonia

Attraction of tephritid fruit flies to light and its role in fly biology and management have received little attention. Here, the objective was to show that western cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis indifferens Curran (Diptera: Tephritidae), is attracted to white light in the presence and absence of ammonia, an olfactory cue used with traps. Laboratory tests were conducted inside a 0.23 m cage with a halogen or light-emitting diode (LED) bulb hung ~2 cm above a trap with or without an ammonium carbonate lure; flies were released in the cage opposite from the light. Fly captures on yellow or clear traps with white light from both bulb types were greater than on controls, and greater at higher than lower light intensities whether ammonia was present or not. Adding heat without additional light near traps did not increase captures, indicating light rather than heat from bulbs attracted flies. In the field, light from LED and halogen bulbs did not enhance fly captures on ammonia-baited yellow traps, but light from halogen bulbs did enhance captures when there was no ammonia, although captures were lower than when ammonia was added. Results show that bright white light is attractive to R. indifferens and suggest orientation towards it may induce behaviors that positively affect fly fitness, such as mating and foraging. However, stronger light-associated stimuli than those used here may be needed to enhance fly captures on ammonia-baited traps under field conditions.
Borneolaena gen . n . riedeli sp . n . from Sarawak , the First Species of Laenini ( Coleoptera : Tenebrionidae ) from the Sunda Islands

Borneolaena gen.n. riedeli sp.n. is described from lowland forests of Sarawak/Borneo. Be- cause of a combination of features including the lack of abdominal defensive glands it belongs to the tenebrionid tribe Laenini. Main diagnostic characters are the deep punctation and dense clavate setation of the surface, the modified antennae with a relatively broad antennomere 7 and a short antennomere 8, as well as the long claw segment of the tarsi. The new taxon shows an extreme external similarity to an as yet undescribed genus of the Adeliini from Australia, being explained by convergence. It seems possible that the present restricted area of Borneo- laena gen.n. in Sarawak is the place of origin of this interesting genus, indicating the existence of an old fragment of Gondwana within recent Borneo.
The moral work of subversion Journal Item

This paper critically reconsiders dominant understandings of morality and subversion within organizations. Existing organisational literature does not adequately address the important productive role of morality for producing and justifying everyday subversive practices as well as the use of subversion to legitimate power relations and dominant values. Drawing upon interactionist insights, we develop a practice-based account of morality, highlighting the means through which subversion retroactively legitimates the diverse range of actions performed by organizational subjects. This form of retrospective reasoning, which we term ‘moralization’, serves as an important resource for subjects to actively negotiate the often competing moral and practical demands placed on them as organizational subjects. Consequently, we position subversion as an important means of accomplishing, legitimating and preserving a given organizational order, rather than a ‘common sense’ view that subversion necessarily subverts organizational values. In doing so we make explicit the ‘positive’ function of rule-bending for processes of organizational control.
Increasing penalties for repeat offenders and “ enhanced human capital ” sanctions : an economic explanation

A dynamic model of time allocation between labor and criminal activity is developed, assuming that these activities are substitutable. Our attention specially focuses on the long-term influence of sanctions due to changes in perspective on legal market. Two extensions are discussed to remove the undetermined impact of an increase in repression: heavier penalty for repeat offenders and “enhanced human capital” sanctions.
Utilization of Sprulina Algae to Improve the Nutritional Value of Kiwifruits and Cantaloupe Nectar Blends

In this study use the spirulina which is one of the blue-green algae rich in protein 61.57% and contains a high proportion of essential amino acids (38.81% of the protein) and a source of naturally rich in vitamins especially vitamin B complex such as vitamin B12 (193 μg/100 g) and folic acid (9.66 mg/100 g), which helps the growth and nutrition of the child brain, also rich in calcium and iron it containing (1043.625 and 338.765 mg/100 g, respectively) to protect against osteoporosis and blood diseases as well as a high percentage of natural fibers. So, the spirulina is useful and necessary for the growth of infants and very suitable for children, especially in the growth phase, the elderly and the visually appetite. It also, helps a lot in cases of general weakness, anemia and chronic constipation. Spirulina contain a selenium element (0.0488 mg/100 g) and many of the phytopigments such as chlorophyll and phycocyanin (1.472% and 14.18%), and those seen as a powerful antioxidant. Finally, spirulina called the ideal food for mankind and the World Health Organization considered its "super food" and the best food for the future because of its nutritional value is very high. In this study, products supported with spirulina, kiwifruits and cantaloupe were manufactured. Two types of vegetable and fruit juices, green and were used frequently in commercial manufacturing (cantaloupe kiwi). Spirulina was added to them at different ratios (zero “control samples”, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5 and 15%) The nectar blends were well studied to determine the best percentage of addition and the chemical, natural were done and sensory properties of nectar blends supported by spirulina. The all nectar blends prepared and supported by spirulina were highly accepted. Therefore, it is recommended to use spirulina in the field of strengthening juices, especially the rich types of chlorophyll, antioxidant and beneficial to public health such as kiwifruits and cantaloupe.
The effect of occupation on poverty among ethnic minority groups

Ethnic minority groups in Britain are more likely than the majority group to work for less than the living wage. This publication examines why this is the case. It uses two large-scale datasets to analyse what types of job ethnic minority groups tend to do. It then calculates the minority-majority wage gaps associated with particular occupations. The main results are as follows: ethnic minority groups are relatively likely to be in poorly paying occupations rather than to receive relatively poor pay in all occupations; while inequality is low in some occupations, minority groups often find limited access to these; minority groups tend to be well educated on average, so low education is not the main cause of wage inequality or poverty; ethnic outcomes are extremely varied - some minority groups do better than the majority group and this applies especially to women; and Pakistanis and Bangladeshis tend to be not only in the lowest-paying occupations but on top of this also poorly paid within these.
PASS-THROUGH OF WORLD OIL PRICES TO INFLATION : A TIME SERIES ANALYSIS OF PAKISTAN

Inflation plays vibrant role in economic stability and is considered to be an integral component of sound macroeconomic policies. Consumer prices are very much linked with the oil prices. A change in oil prices is assumed to be passing through to other goods prices directly or indirectly. The main objective of this study is to investigate long-run passthrough of world oil prices to domestic inflation in Pakistan using monthly data from January 2000 to December 2014. The standard Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) unit root test is applied to test the order of integration of selected variables. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach is applied to investigate long-run passthrough of world oil prices to domestic inflation in Pakistan in the presence of control variable, i.e. exchange rate. The results of the study clearly explain that in the long-run international oil prices and exchange rate significantly affect the inflation rate in Pakistan. Furthermore, oil price (LOILP) has positive relationship with inflation and Nominal Exchange Rate (LER) has negative relationship with inflation rate in Pakistan. The findings of the Granger causality test reveal that there is unidirectional causality that runs from world oil prices to inflation rate, from inflation to exchange rate, and from world oil prices to exchange rate in Pakistan.
Comparing electronic and printed dictionaries : Their effects on lexical processing strategy use , word retention , and reading comprehension

This article reports the results of a study investigating the impact of pocket electronic dictionaries (EDs) compared with printed dictionaries (PDs) on the lexical processing strategies (LPSs; consult, infer, or ignore) (Fraser, 1999a, 1999b) used by Japanese university students to deal with unfamiliar words while reading. The study also examined the effects of EDs on word retention and reading comprehension. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected through retrospective think-aloud protocols, a reading comprehension test, and two types of vocabulary tests. Overall, EDs do not appear to significantly influence students’ LPS use, word retention, or reading comprehension. However, the use of EDs may result in an increase in the frequency of dictionary consultation, accompanied by varying degrees of decrease in the frequency of inferring. Frequent dictionary consultation may result in less interaction with the textual context, particularly for some low-proficiency students.
Effect of Flooding on the Livelihood and Consumption of Households in Oyo State , Nigeria

This paper examined the effect of flooding on the livelihood and consumption of households in Oyo State, Nigeria. Primary data and secondary data were collected on consumption expenditures of households and weather parameters in the study area before and after the flood incident of 2011. Two Local Government Areas (LGAs) were purposively selected because of intensity of the impact in the area. A total of seventy-eight (78) households were randomly selected from these two LGAs. Analytical methods employed in data analysis include descriptive statistics, correlation and covariance analysis. The result of descriptive analysis of socio-economic characteristics reveal that average age of those surveyed was 45 years, with more males (61.5%) affected than females (38.5%). Most of those affected by the flood incident were artisans constituting about 41 percent of those surveyed. This was closely followed by those engaged in trading activities (33.3%). The result of the correlation analysis performed to ascertain whether there is any relationship between the flood incident and consumption expenditure of respondents showed a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.591 with a significant level of one percent. However, the result of the covariance analysis also alluded to the fact that the flood incident significantly impacted on the consumption expenditure of the households with a value of 0.5210 (p<0.10). Based on the findings, it is recommended that effort should be geared by government at creating awareness on the negative impact of the climate change. Also, there is the need to dredge or expand river channels to allow free flow of water so as to prevent flooding. Indiscriminate disposal of refuse through dumping in river channels, water ways and drainages should be discouraged.
Towards Discriminative Representation Learning for Speech Emotion Recognition

In intelligent speech interaction, automatic speech emotion recognition (SER) plays an important role in understanding user intention. While sentimental speech has different speaker characteristics but similar acoustic attributes, one vital challenge in SER is how to learn robust and discriminative representations for emotion inferring. In this paper, inspired by human emotion perception, we propose a novel representation learning component (RLC) for SER system, which is constructed with Multi-head Self-attention and Global Context-aware Attention Long Short-Term Memory Recurrent Neutral Network (GCA-LSTM). With the ability of Multi-head Self-attention mechanism in modeling the element-wise correlative dependencies, RLC can exploit the common patterns of sentimental speech features to enhance emotion-salient information importing in representation learning. By employing GCA-LSTM, RLC can selectively focus on emotion-salient factors with the consideration of entire utterance context, and gradually produce discriminative representation for emotion inferring. Experiments on public emotional benchmark database IEMOCAP and a tremendous realistic interaction database demonstrate the outperformance of the proposed SER framework, with 6.6% to 26.7% relative improvement on unweighted accuracy compared to state-of-the-art techniques.
Search for the lepton-ﬂavour violating decay D 0 → e ± μ

A search for the lepton-ﬂavour violating decay D 0 → e ± μ ∓ is made with a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 . 0 fb − 1 of proton–proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 TeV and 8 TeV, collected by the LHCb experiment. Candidate D 0 mesons are selected using the decay D ∗+ → D 0 π + and the D 0 → e ± μ ∓ branching fraction is measured using the decay mode D 0 → K − π + as a normalization channel. No signiﬁcant excess of D 0 → e ± μ ∓ candidates over the expected background is seen, and a limit is set on the branching fraction, B ( D 0 → e ± μ ∓ ) < 1 . 3 × 10 − 8 , at 90% conﬁdence level. This is an order of magnitude lower than the previous limit and it further constrains the parameter space in some leptoquark models and in supersymmetric models with R-parity violation.
An association between type A porcine endogenous retrovirus copy number and hematological parameters and gender in miniature pigs

concentration (MCHC) and platelet distribution width (PDW-CV) were significantly higher in female animals. No correlation between PERV-A env gene copy number and the coat color of animals was detected, suggesting that retroviral insertion sites and genes that determine the coat color of miniature pigs, namely KIT (chromosome 8) and MC1R (chromosome 6), are either located far apart on same chromosome or on different chromosomes. The copy number of PERV-A env gene in males was lower than in females. Presence of multiple copies of PERV-A on the X-chromosome is the most probable cause of such gender-related differences in miniature pigs. Thus, male miniature pigs of ICG SB RAS should be the source of material for xenotransplantation.
A new wave-breaking dissipation parameterization designed for phase-averaged spectral wave models is presented

[1] A new wave-breaking dissipation parameterization designed for phase-averaged spectral wave models is presented. It combines wave breaking basic physical quantities, namely, the breaking probability and the dissipation rate per unit area. The energy lost by waves is first explicitly calculated in physical space before being distributed over the relevant spectral components. The transition from deep to shallow water is made possible by using a dissipation rate per unit area of breaking waves that varies with the wave height, wavelength and water depth. This parameterization is implemented in the WAVEWATCH III modeling framework, which is applied to a wide range of conditions and scales, from the global ocean to the beach scale. Wave height, peak and mean periods, and spectral data are validated using in situ and remote sensing data. Model errors are comparable to those of other specialized deep or shallow water parameterizations. This work shows that it is possible to have a seamless parameterization from the deep ocean to the surf zone.
Multiplicity of positive solutions to a p-Laplacian equation involving critical nonlinearity ✩

In this paper we deal with multiplicity of positive solutions to the p-Laplacian equation of the typ −div(|∇u|p−2∇u)=μuq−1 + up−1, u ∈W 0 (Ω), whereΩ ⊂ RN is a bounded domain, N p2, 2 p q < p∗, p∗ = Np/(N − p), andμ is a positive parameter. We prove that there exists μ∗ > 0 such that, for eachμ ∈ (0,μ∗), the equation has at least cat Ω(Ω) positive solutions.  2003 Elsevier Science (USA). All rights reserved.
Mathematical Modelling Course Using the Internet

The number of people who can be reached through the Internet has been growing rapidly during the last decade. At the same time also the Internet connections have become faster. Especially this is true at universities. As more and more students with fast Internet connections can be reached, the incentive to use this new possibility to share courses between universities increases. This paper presents a successful method for delivering mathematical modelling courses and contents through the Internet. The possible future of the mathematical modelling experience is also discussed.
Effect of Rhizobium inoculation and foliar spray with salicylic and ascorbic acids on growth, yield and seed quality of pea plant (Pisum sativum L.) grown on a salt affected soil, New Valley-Egypt

A field study was carried out to investigate the effects of seed inoculation with bio-fertilizer (Rhizobium), foliar spray with antioxidants i.e., salicylic acid (SA), ascorbic acid (AA) and SA+AA at 250 mg L of each and their interactions on growth, yield components and some seed bioconstituents of pea plant (Pisum sativum L.) cv. Master-B grown on a salt affected sandy loam soil (EC=9.65 ds m), New Valley-Egypt during seasons of 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 towards maximizing its productivity under salt stress conditions. Pea seeds were inoculated with Rhizobium as a bio-fertilizer source before planting. Pea seeds were inoculated at sowing with N fixing bacteria (Rhizobium leguminosarum). The application of antioxidants to plants was done as foliar spraying after twenty days after planting and repeated three times a ten days interval. The following data were recorded, vegetative growth parameters, root nodule characteristics, leaves photosynthetic pigments content, fresh as well as dry yield characteristics and seed chemical compositions. Inoculation significantly increased all the studied traits of pea plant grown under salinity conditions compared with un-inoculation. Foliar spraying of pea plants with antioxidants also, significantly increased all the studied aspects of pea plant, SA+AA was more efficient than spraying either solely. Inoculation seeds with Rhizobium and foliar spray of SA+AA significantly increased all the studied characteristics. SA+AA along with inoculation was more effective in increasing all the studied characteristics. Inoculation with Rhizobium along with foliar spraying with SA+AA could be recommended for growing pea under saline conditions.
