Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Lawsonia inermis leaves extract and it s Antibacterial activity

Nanotechnology is defined as a highly developed technology due to the wide range of applications in various fields of medical science, technology and other fields of research. Green synthesis methods are environmentally friendly, readily available, safe, and nontoxic. Nanoparticles are particles with lengths ranging from 1 to 100 nm in two or three dimensions. Silver nanoparticles are important because their unique properties eg, size and shape Depending on the optical, electrical and magnetic properties. In this study, methanolic extract of Lawsonia inermis has been used for synthesis of silver nanoparticles. The change in color from brown to yellowish brown indicates the formation of nanoparticles. To improve the biological composition of natural nanoparticles, many variables were investigated, and these were concentration of the extract, pH and the reaction temperature. The characterization process was performed using techniques of UV-visible spectroscopy, Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX) and scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The results illustrated that silver nanoparticles had a size of (150-600) nm and a spherical shape, UV-Vis spectroscopy showed SPR sharp peak between (390451) nm and EDX attested that Ag, W, Cl and C elements found by weight percent of 57%, 35%, 5.8% and 2.2 % respectively. The antibacterial activity was examined against four types of strain bacteria, two Gram positive bacteria (S. aureus and B. subtilis) and two Gram negative bacteria (E.coli and P. aeruginosa) by using the agar disk diffusion method. The results showed that silver nanoparticles had a University of Thi-Qar Journal Vol.13 No. 2 June 2018 Web Site: https://jutq.utq. edu.iq/index.php/main Email: journal@jutq.utq. edu.iq 103 strong effect against Gram positive bacteria and it is more than Gram negative bacteria.
Ju l 2 01 4 Complex Classical Mechanics of a QES Potential

We consider a Parity-time (PT) invariant non-Hermitian quasi-exactly solvable (QES) potential which exhibits PT phase transition. We numerically study this potential in a complex plane classically to demonstrate different quantum effects. The particle with real energy makes closed orbits around one of the periodic wells of the complex potential depending on the initial condition. However interestingly the particle can have open orbits even with real energy if it is initially placed in certain region between the two wells on the same side of the imaginary axis. On the other hand when the particle energy is complex the trajectory is open and the particle tunnels back and forth between two wells which are separated by a classically forbidden path. The tunneling time is calculated for different pair of wells and is shown to vary inversely with the imaginary component of energy. At the classical level unlike the analogous quantum situation we do not see any qualitative differences in the features of the particle dynamics for PT symmetry broken and unbroken phases.
Information Dynamics and Debt Maturity

I develop a dynamic model of financing decisions and optimal debt maturity choice in which creditors face adverse selection and learn about the firm’s quality from news. In equilibrium, shareholders may choose to postpone debt issuance to reduce adverse selection and improve the pricing of newly issued debt. Over time, the benefits of learning decrease and zero-leverage firms eventually decide to issue debt. Because shorter maturity debt is less sensitive to information, younger firms issue shorter maturity debt to alleviate adverse selection while mature firms issue longer maturity debt, leading to a life-cycle theory of debt maturity.
Triage telefónico realizado por médicos en urgencias de pediatría

Objetivo Comprobar la aplicabilidad de un triage telefonico realizado por medicos en un servicio de urgencias de pediatria (SUP). Pacientes y metodo Se estudian las consultas telefonicas en un SUP entre el 1-10-2003 y el 3-10-2004, analizando: registro de llamadas (n = 2.560); cumplimiento de las recomendaciones (los que recibieron instruccion de acudir y muestra aleatoria de los que no recibieron consejo de acudir), y satisfaccion de los padres (encuesta telefonica durante un mes).

At Your Fingertips: Automatic Piano Fingering Detection

Automatic Piano Fingering is a hard task which computers can learn using data. As data collection is hard and expensive, we propose to automate this process by automatically extracting fingerings from public videos and MIDI files, using computer-vision techniques. Running this process on 90 videos results in the largest dataset for PIANO-FINGERING with more than 150K notes. We show that when running a previously proposed model for automatic PIANO-FINGERING on our dataset and then fine-tuning it on manually labeled piano fingering data, we achieve state-of-the-art results. In addition to the fingering extraction method, we also introduce a novel method for transferring deep-learning computer-vision models to work on out-of-domain data, by fine-tuning it on out-of-domain augmentation proposed by a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN). For demonstration, we anonymously release a visualization of the output of our process for a single video on https://youtu.be/Gfs1UWQhr5Q
I T ] 1 2 O ct 2 01 9 Two classes of pary linear codes and their duals ∗

Let Fpm be the finite field of order p , where p is an odd prime and m is a positive integer. In this paper, we investigate a class of subfield codes of linear codes and obtain the weight distribution of Ck = {(( Trm1 ( ax +1 + bx ) + c ) x∈Fpm ,Trm1 (a) ) : a, b ∈ Fpm , c ∈ Fp } , where k is a nonnegative integer. Our results generalize the results of the subfield codes of the conic codes in [19]. Among other results, we study the punctured code of Ck, which is defined as C̄k = {( Trm1 ( ax +1 + bx ) + c ) x∈Fpm : a, b ∈ Fpm , c ∈ Fp } . The parameters of these linear codes are new in some cases. Some of the presented codes are optimal or almost optimal. Moreover, let v2(·) denote the 2-adic order function and v2(0) = ∞, the duals of Ck and C̄k are optimal with respect to the Sphere Packing bound if p > 3, and the dual of C̄k is an optimal ternary linear code for the case v2(m) ≤ v2(k) if p = 3 and m > 1.
Show, Infer and Tell: Contextual Inference for Creative Captioning

Several attention based encoder-decoder architectures have been geared towards the task of image captioning. Yet, the collocations and contextual inference seen in captions written by humans is not observed in the output of these systems e.g., if we see a lot of different vehicles on the road, we infer "traffic" and say "a lot of traffic on the road". Further, "hallucination" of commonly seen concepts for fitting the language model is commonly observed in a lot of existing systems. For example, "a group of soldiers cutting a cake with a sword" would be hallucinated as "a boy cutting a cake with a knife". In this work we construct two simultaneously learning channels, where first channel uses the mean-pooled image feature and learns to associate it with the most relevant words. The second channel, on the other hand, utilizes the spatial features belonging to salient image regions to learn to form meaningful collocations and perform contextual inference. This way, the final language model gets the opportunity to leverage the information from the two channels to learn to generate grammatically correct sentence structures which are more human-like and creative. Our novel "spatial image features to n-gram text features mapping" mechanism not only learns meaningful collocations but also verifies that the caption words correspond to the region(s) of the image, thereby avoiding "hallucination" by the model. We validate the effectiveness of our one pass system on the challenging MS-COCO image captioning benchmark, where our single-model achieves a new stateof-the art 126.3 CIDEr-D on the Karpathy split, and a competitive 124.1 CIDEr-D (c40) on the official server.
The Role of Workplace Fairness and Information Sharing in a Budget Setting Process : An Empirical Study

The importance that workplace fairness and information sharing has on employees’ performance has gained a significant attention from researchers and practitioners. However, no empirical evidence on the combined role of both workplace fairness and information sharing on employee performance has been found so far. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine the effects of workplace fairness and information sharing on employees’ performance in a budget setting. A set of direct and indirect hypotheses are tested using survey data collected from 108 subunit managers from various industries, randomly selected from Bursa Malaysia (the stock exchange of Malaysia). The findings indicate that both workplace fairness and information sharing are positively associated with improved employee performance in a participative budget setting. Furthermore, information sharing mediates the relationship between workplace fairness and employee performance. This suggests that when employees perceive the budgeting process as being fair, they would be more willing to share information, which will then lead to improved employee performance.
ZOOMETRIC MEASUREMENTS OF CEPHALIC CONFORMATION IN ADULT BOVINE MALES AND FEMALES (Bos taurus)

A sample of 578 bovine whole, fresh adult skulls (sample of 76 adult males and 502 adult females) belonging to 16 different domestic cattle breeds from Spain and France was examined. The studied breeds descend from different European ancestral trunks. The heads were obtained from slaughtered animals and in all cases were from purebred animals according to their racial standard. A total of 9 cephalic lineal measurements and 7 derived indices were obtained from each skull. The values between sexes were compared in order to distinguish measurements and differentiate between male and female skulls. Given their number-based nature, cephalic measurements and indices allow comparisons between breeds from very different geographical areas as well as permitting the development of research into breeds using exclusively bone material. Moreover, the statistics presented could act as reference values for further morphological craniological studies on sexual dimorphism.

C L ] 5 O ct 2 01 9 ONMODELING ASR WORD CONFIDENCE

We present a new method for computing ASR word confidences that effectively mitigates the effect of ASR errors for diverse downstream applications, improves the word error rate of the 1-best result, and allows better comparison of scores across different models. We propose 1) a new method for modeling word confidence using a Heterogeneous Word Confusion Network (HWCN) that addresses some key flaws in conventional Word Confusion Networks, and 2) a new score calibration method for facilitating direct comparison of scores from different models. Using a bidirectional lattice recurrent neural network to compute the confidence scores of each word in the HWCN, we show that the word sequence with the best overall confidence is more accurate than the default 1-best result of the recognizer, and that the calibration method substantially improves the reliability of recognizer combination.

Changes in the quality characteristics of carrot juice preserved with Aframomum danielli seed extract

Effect of using different concentrations of Aframomum danielli on the physicochemical, microbiological and sensory characteristics of carrot juice stored under refrigerated and ambient temperatures were examined. This was done to ascertain the concentration and storage conditions that will enhance the quality of the juice. Carrot juice was produced and treated with different concentrations of Aframomum danielli extract (5, 10 and 15 %). The juice was pasteurized and stored at 4 oC and 27 oC. Control sample was prepared for each group and the quality attributes of the samples were monitored for five days. Sensory properties of the juice were conducted on the first day of production. A decrease in pH was observed during the five days storage with the control samples showing lower pH when compared to the treated samples. The pH of treated samples (10 and 15 %) was slightly maintained at 4 oC. Titratable acidity increased while the total soluble solids decreased with days of storage. Vitamin A loss was more pronounced in the control samples than the treated samples which showed more vitamin A retention at higher concentration of Aframomum danielli at 4 oC. The microbial population was higher in the control juice stored at ambient temperature but was retarded by low temperature coupled with higher concentrations of A. danielli extract. Sensory evaluation showed that the control and up to 10% inclusion of A. danielli extract were acceptable
The health effects of black tea and flavonoids

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to review evidence on the impact of black tea on health, highlighting the role of flavonoids.Design/methodology/approach – This review builds on previous systematic reviews by incorporating new studies on black tea and health published between 2004 and 2009.Findings – Black tea was strongly associated with heart disease prevention by plausible mechanisms linked to flavonoid bioactivity. In vitro studies suggest that tea has anti‐cancer properties, but this needs to be confirmed by additional long‐term human studies. Emerging research indicates that tea may benefit cognitive function and weight management, although more studies are needed. Tea flavonoids are bioavailable with or without milk.Originality/value – The benefits of tea drinking are of relevance to public health as tea is the main contributor to dietary flavonoids in Western countries. Consuming one to eight cups of black tea per day is associated with a reduced risk of chronic disease. Caffeine intakes at .
Fats & Cholesterol: Nutrition Source, Harvard School of Public Health

Unfortunately, this simple message is now largely out of date. Detailed research -much of it done at Harvard shows that the total amount of fat in the diet, whether high or low, isn't really linked with disease. What really matters is the type of fat in the diet. New results from the large and long Women's Health Initiative Dietary Modification Trial showed that eating a low-fat diet for 8 years did not prevent heart disease, breast cancer, or colon cancer, and didn't do much for weight loss, either.

Supplementary Information for Emergent Pattern Formation in a Synthetic Bacterial Population 1 Plasmid construction

Our patterning circuit design was implemented by partitioning the system into two plasmids, namely pFNK-512 (Fig. S1a) and pFNK-804-LacO-LacI (Fig. S1b), corresponding to the upper and lower parts of the circuit diagram in Fig. 1b of the main text. pFNK-512 was constructed by inserting two identical divergent copies of the hybrid promoter PLas−OR1 as well as the genes lasI(LVA), rhlI, dsRed, and lasR into the pPROTet.E vector (ColE1 ori and Cm resistance, Clontech). The promoter PLas−OR1 was constructed by fusing a mutant CI binding domain OR1-mut4 [1] to a wildtype Las promoter in P. aeruginosa (PAO1 strain) [2]. The hybrid promoter sequence is shown in Fig. S1g. A Las regulatory gene lasR was placed downstream of one copy of the hybrid promoter. 3OC12HSL and C4HSL synthase genes lasI(LVA) and rhlI were inserted downstream of the other PLas−OR1 promoter followed by a red fluorescence reporter gene dsRed-exp (from Clontech plasmid pDsRed-Exp). RBSII was used for all ribosome binding sites in this plasmid [1]. pFNK-804-LacO-LacI was constructed starting from the pPROLar.A vector (ColE1 ori and Kan resistance, Clontech) and integrating the promoters pLacIq, λP(R−O1), and PRhl−lacO and the genes lacI, rhlR, cI, and GFP(LVA) [3]. Promoter pLacIq, ribosome binding site RBSII, and lacI gene were inserted into the vector for constitutive expression of LacI [1]. A mutant rhlR was placed under control of a CI-regulated promoter λP(R−O1) and the ribosome binding site RBSH [2, 3, 4]. Hybrid promoter PRhl−lacO was constructed by adding a LacO operator binding site to a wildtype RhlR promoter in P. aeruginosa (Fig. S1g). Genes cI and GFP(LVA) were placed under transcriptional control of the hybrid promoter PRhl−lacO. Ribosome binding sites RBSH and RBSII were used for cI and GFP respectively [1, 3].
Mapping of the forest recreation service in Lorraine : Applying high-resolution spatial data and travel mode information

Focus on ecosystem services and increased availability of spatial dataset describing ecosystems have generated a large interest in ecosystem service mapping. Maps of ecosystem services make the spatial heterogeneity in supply of demand for ecosystem services evident and they may serve as important tools for management and spatially targeted policies. In the present study we develop an approach for mapping forest recreation service based on high-resolution data and explicitly accounting for the visitors’ choice of travel mode. The demand for forest recreation, including the demand for forest attributes is estimated, applying the travel cost method and using data from a web-based survey and from a GIS database describing forests and the access to forests. The approach is applied to data from a recent survey carried out in Lorraine. Compared to previous mappings of the economic value of forest recreation, the present study also accounts for visitors who are not going by car, i.e. we include people walking and biking to the forests. In Lorraine car-borne visitors represent only about half of the forest visitors. The results shows that the choice of travel mode depend on the access to forest, implying that the travel mode should be modelled as an endogenous variable in scenarios where access to forest changes. The proposed model framework allow for this.
