Brain MR Image Classification for ADHD Diagnosis Using Deep Neural Networks

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder in childhood and adolescence. ADHD diagnosis currently includes psychological tests and depends on ratings of behavioral symptoms, which can be unreliable. Thus, an objective diagnostic tool based on non-invasive imaging can improve the understanding and diagnosis of ADHD. The purpose of this study is classifying brain images by using Artificial Intelligence methods such as clinical decision support system for the diagnosis of ADHD. For this purpose and according to a medical imaging classification system, firstly, image pre-processing is done. Then, a deep multi-modal 3D CNN is trained on GM from structural and fALFF from functional MRI using ADHD-200 training dataset. Finally, with the intention of classifying the extracted features, early and late fusion schemes are employed, and the output scores are classified with the SVM, KNN and LDA algorithms. The evaluation of the proposed approach on the ADHD-200 testing dataset revealed that the presence of personal characteristics alone increased the classification accuracy by 3.79%. In addition, using a combination of early, late fusion and personal characteristics together improved the accuracy of the classification by 5.84%. Among the three classifiers LDA showed better results and achieved a classification accuracy of 74.93%. The comparison of results showed that the combination of early and late fusion as well as considering personal characteristics has a significant effect on enhancing classification accuracy. As a result of this, the reliability of this medical decision support system is increased.
Growth response, Carcass and Blood characteristics of Finisher broilers fed Sorghum offal meal as dietary supplement

A 28 day feeding trial was conducted to determine the effect of feeding varying levels of sorghum offal meal (SGOM) diets on performance, carcass characteristics, hematological and serum indices of broiler finisher birds. Five broiler finisher diets were formulated to contain sorghum offal meal at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% dietary levels coded as T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 respectively and were used to feed 150 Anak broiler finishers. The birds were divided into 5 groups of 30 broilers per treatment which was replicated 3 times at 10 birds per replicate. The treatment diets were randomly assigned to the birds in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Results showed significant differences (P<.0.05) in daily weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio between the control group and those fed SGOM especially beyond 50% dietary level. The organs weight/carcass characteristics also significantly differed (P<0.05) among treatments, decreasing with increased dietary level of sorghum offal meal except the gizzard, heart, liver and intestine respectively. The result of the blood analysis also revealed a decline in haematological and serum parameters except the white blood cell, creatinine, Urea and total protein that increased linearly with dietary inclusion of SGOM (p<0.05). This study suggests that broiler finisher birds could tolerate about 50% dietary levels of sorghum offal meal with no deleterious effects on the growth, carcass quality and hematological characteristics.
Foliar spray of humic substances on seedling production of yellow passion fruit

The objective of this research was to study the effect of humic substances on seedling production of yellow passion fruit. A completed randomized blocks design with five treatments (humic substance doses) was adopted, with five repetitions of 10 seedlings each. The following humic substances doses 0 (unsprayed), 7.5, 15.0, 22.5 and 30 ml m -2 (0, 0.40, 0.80, 1.19 and 1.59 ml seedling -1 ) were sprayed at 15, 25 and 35 days after sowing. At the end of the experiment (60 days after sowing) the following variables were recorded: plant height, stem diameter, dry weight of shoots and roots, root length, root volume and leaf chlorophyll. Humic substances sprayed positively affected aerial part and root system of yellow passion fruit seedlings and seedling quality of passion fruit was improved by humic acid foliar spray although further studies are needed to obtain a dose recommendation.
A comparative study of Hygienic status of Butchers and Identifybacteria among the Slaughters of Meat, Chicken and Fish markets of Jagdalpur city, Chhattisgarh, India

Study was conducted to inspect the hygienic status of slaughter men of meat and fish markets of Jagdalpur city, India. Among five meat markets and five fish markets, it was found that the markets were of poor hygienic status. For identification, samples of bacteria present on the hands of chicken slaughter men, goat slaughter men and fishmongers were collected both during morning and night. Standard plate count of bacteria obtained during morning for chicken slaughter men, goat slaughter men and fishmongers were detected to be 7x10 5 ,10x10 5 and 15x10 5 CFU/ml respectively in contrast to the samples taken from normal man which was around0.4x10 5 CFU/ml. Due to poor level of hygienic status and lack of sanitary practices standard plate count was increased during night which were 9x10 5 ,50x10 5 and 60x10 5 CFU/ml and on comparing it from the hands of normal man it was again found out to be very less i.e. 0.9x10 5 CFU/ml. During morning pathogenic bacteria i.e. Staphylococcus aureus from chicken slaughter man, Corynebacteriumdiptherae from goat slaughtermen and fishmonger were identified but non-pathogenicStaphylococcus epidermidis was obtained from normal man. During night predominance of bacteria like Kleibsiella spp. , Proteus vulgaris, Shigella spp. resulted out whereas S.epidermidis was isolated from hand of normal man which is a normal microbial flora of human skin.
Teat order affects postweaning behaviour in piglets

O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar se leitoes que mamam nas tetas anteriores diferem dos demais da leitegada no peso ao nascimento e tem maior taxa de crescimento durante a lactacao, e se isso influencia o comportamento e ganho de peso pos-desmame, quando os leitoes passam a receber dieta exclusivamente solida. Para isso, a ordem da teta foi determinada durante a fase de amamentacao em 24 leitegadas. Aos 28 dias de idade, os leitoes foram desmamados e foram formados 24 grupos, compostos por um leitao que mamava nos dois primeiros pares de tetas (AT) e tres leitoes que mamavam nas demais tetas (OT). Embora o peso ao nascimento nao tenha diferido de acordo com a ordem da teta, o ganho de peso ate o desmame diferiu entre os grupos (AT: 6,64, EP 0,20kg, OT: 5,73, EP 0,13kg; P<0,001). Apos o desmame, AT passaram mais tempo em repouso (P<0,01) e menos tempo comendo (P<0,01) e vocalizando (P<0,01), quando comparado com os demais. Outros comportamentos (interacao agonistica, tentativa de fuga e bebendo) nao diferiram entre os grupos. Os leitoes que mamavam nas tetas anteriores ganharam mais peso ate o desmame, o que sugere que ingeriam mais leite; isso pode ter levado a um menor contato com alimento solido antes do desmame, por sua vez, influenciando o comportamento alimentar pos-desmame

Macro-3D: A Physical Design Methodology for Face-to-Face-Stacked Heterogeneous 3D ICs

Memory-on-logic and sensor-on-logic face-to-face stacking are emerging design approaches that promise a significant increase in the performance of modern systems-on-chip at reasonable costs. In this work, a netlist-to-layout design flow for such heterogeneous 3D systems is proposed. The proposed technique overcomes the severe limitations of existing 3D physical design methodologies. A RISC-V-based multi-core system, implemented in a commercial technology, is used as a case study to evaluate the proposed design flow. The case study is performed for modern/large and small cache sizes to show the superiority of the proposed methodology for a broad set of systems. While previous 3D design flows do not show to optimize performance against 2D baseline designs for processor systems with a significant memory area occupation, the proposed flow shows a performance and power improvement by 20.4–28.2% and 3.2–3.8%, respectively.
Density Functional Theory Studies of Vacancies in Penta-Graphene Nanoribbons

We use the first principal pseudopotential calculations combined with the generalized gradient approximation to investigate the structural, magnetic and electronic properties of defective penta-graphene one dimensional monolayer. Our calculations predict that, the equilibrium geometrical structure with a single vacancy defect shows a substantial reconstruction of atomic positions. The magnetic and electronic properties of penta-graphene nanoribbons can be adjusted by single vacancy defect The electronic bandgap depends on the ribbon width as well as on the single vacancy location relative to the ribbon edge. The formation energy of a single vacancy in penta-graphene nanoribbon is found to be 8.4 eV in the central region of the ribbons and decreases to 7.1 eV when the vacancy location is closer to the ribbon edge. Our results for a stable penta-graphene nanoribbon with a controllable bandgap is promising for nanoelectronic devices
The use of propolis extract for the storage of quail eggs

Summary This study was carried out to evaluate the use of propolis extract on egg storage time of table quail (Coturnix coturnix Japonica) eggs. Propolis is a sticky, resinous, dark-colored material that honey bees collect from young plants. In the experiment, 600 quail eggs were used and eggs were coated with various concentrations of propolis extract (0%: group I, 5%: group II, 10%: group III, 15%: group IV) and treated with 70% ethyl alcohol (group V). A 5-week storage period was implemented, and 120 eggs were used for each group. Consequently, the effects of storage time and shell treatments on storage time and the effects of treatments on the interior quality of eggs were determined. The results of the study confirmed highly significant differences between weekly changes in egg weight loss, albumen-yellow indexes, and Haugh units (P
Isolation of a Keratinase-Producing Bacterium and Purification of Its Keratinase

The feather-degrading strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated from soil under aerobic conditions at 37℃ using feather powder agar. After 54 h incubation at 37℃, the cells were removed by centrifugation and passing through a 0.45 μm membrane. The keratinase was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity after Sephacryl S-100 HR chromatography and up to 6.79 purification fold with 10.6% recovery. The MW of purified keratinase was 39 kDa, while the optimal pH and temperature were 9.0 and 60℃, respectively. It was stable at pH 5.5~9.0 and 10~50℃ and inhibited by Hg(superscript +), Cu(superscript 2+), Fe(superscript 3+) and Ni(superscript 2+). The purified keratinase was considered to be cysteine protease based on its sensitivity to pCMB, IAA and NEM, and strong activation by β-mercaptoethanol, dithiothreitol and glutathione.
Genetic variability and association of component characters for fruit weight in apricot (Prunits armeniaca L.) cultivars of Kargil (Ladakh)

Genetic variability, correlations and path coefficients were studied in 25 cultivars of apricot. Data were recorded on 11 fruit, stone and kernel characters. Coefficient of variation was high for fruit weight, moderate for kernel and stone weight, shell thickness, fruit cheek and diameter, but low for stone length and kernel breadth. High estimates of heritability (broad sense) along with high genetic advance were observed for fruit weight, stone weight and diameter, fruit diameter, cheek and length. Fruit weight was closely associated with fruit length, cheek, diameter and stone weight and kernel length. Considering the association and path analysis, stone weight, fruit length and stone diameter had a great influence on fruit weight and should be given maximum importance in selection programme.
In vitro propagation of Citrullus lanatus Thumb. from nodal explants culture

A standard protocol was established for rapid in vitro propagation of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus Thumb.) from nodal explants of field grown plant. Multiple shoot proliferation was achieved from nodal explants on MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/l BAP + 0.2 mg/l NAA within 30 days of inoculation. The elongation of shoots was obtained on the same medium. Highest percentage of root induction was achieved on MS medium supplement with 1.0 mg/l IBA within 25 days of culture. Well rooted plantlets were transferred to small pots and after proper acclimatization the plantlets were transplanted in the field condition, where 80% plantlets were survived and grew successfully.
Stability analysis of kernel and milling characteristics in winter and facultative wheat

Consistency in quality of wheat grain and flour over seasons is critical to the manufacture of high quality products. The aim of this study was to measure the stability of kernel and milling quality characteristics. Thirteen hard red winter and facultative pure line and hybrid bread wheat varieties were evaluated at two planting dates for three seasons. IPC1 stability scores were compared with the AMMI stability values. Environment was found to be the most important contributor to variance in all traits. Genotype was a large contributor of variance for thousand kernel weight, kernel diameter and hardness index. GXE interaction contributed more to variation than genotype for test weight, percentage vitreous kernels, flour yield, flour colour and flour protein content at both planting dates. Molen was the most stable cultivar overall for the first planting date. At the second planting date PAN3235 and Limpopo were the most stable. The quality of the hybrids was the most inconsistent.
Comparative Evaluation of I Gel and Cuffed ET Tube for Anesthesia in Abdominal Surgery

Background: This study aims to test and compare Endo tracheal tube and i-gel in terms of their: Efficacy: Difference in the leak fraction between two airway devices before and after pneumoperitoneum with different tidal volumes andcomparison of oropharyngeal leak pressure. Ease of insertion: Number of attempts required for optimal positioning. Subjects and Methods: Sixty patients, ASA I–II, were randomly selected to the study. Standard anaesthetic technique was used for all patients. The i-gel was then inserted. The lungs were ventilated at three different tidal volumes (6, 8 and 10 ml kg l) using volume controlled ventilation (VCV). The leak volume was calculated as the difference between the inspired and expired tidal volumes. The leak fraction was also calculated as the leak volume divided by the inspired tidal volume. These observations were recorded with every tidal volume before and after pneumoperitoneum with the i-gel and the conventional tracheal tube. Results: We found oropharyngeal leak pressure for i gel as 26cm of H2O and there was no leak in endotracheal tube group even at 40 cm of H2O peak air way pressure. Before and after pneumoperitoneum there was no statistically significant difference in leak fraction or leak volume between i-gel and tracheal tube at tidal volume 6ml kg−1. At 8 and 10 ml kg−1 there was statistically significant difference between i-gel and tracheal tube both before and after pneumoperitoneum. Conclusion: In our study we found that i-gel airway can be used safely and effectively during volume controlled ventilation with low and moderate tidal volumes.

Fish Feeding and the Structure of Benthic Communities in Temperate Waters

Shallow water marine environments harbor a variety of predators. These include not only whelks, starfishes, and crustaceans but also numerous species of teleost and elasmobranch fishes. Studies of the invertebrate predators, focusing on their ability to modify the distribution and abundance of their benthic prey, have provided a basis for many of the generalizations current in the ecological literature (87, 107, 112). Invertebrate predators are apparently able to do this despite reduced mobility and the action of environmental disturbances and uncertainties. Relevant ecological theory predicts that the influence of such predators will become more pronounced as they enter subtidal situations where they can forage without the periodic disturbance of emersion and direct wave shock (32). Under these circumstances the role of benthic-feeding fishes in shallow marine ecosystems becomes one of acute interest. They possess, in comparison with the invertebrates, superior mobility and orientation behavior and a range of sophisticated sensory cues that permit them to detect even well-hidden prey (142). These characteristics, which include the ability to forage over the full intertidal range, suggest that predatory and herbivorous fishes should be major determinants of subtidal community structure. Here I review evidence that fish feeding modifies the structure and organization of biotic assemblages in shallow temperate oceans. Most generalizations concerning marine community structure derive from temperate
Evaluating and comparing a pediatric cervical-supine image quality obtained using different digital radiography machines: phantom study

The aim of the work is to evaluate and compare image quality obtained using different digital radiography systems with reference to size distortion, contrast and noise. An anthropomorphic pediatric head phantom was utilized and scanned using a general radiography machine that uses a digital direct detector, a portable radiography also uses a digital direct detector, and another general radiography machine that uses a digital in-direct detector. Images of the pediatric phantom were acquired following the most standard clinical setups namely supine and erect with anterior-posterior (AP) and lateral (LAT) projections. Region of interest (ROI) analysis was used to determine background density, object density, image noise and calculate image contrast and magnification factor. The mean and range of magnification factor (F) in general direct radiography (DR) and computer radiography (CR), AP and LAT projections, was 1.07(1.05-1.09). The lowest size distortion was evident with portable DR with F=1.02 comparing to general DR (AP and LAT) and CR (AP and LAT) systems, with F=1.08 and 1.07, respectively. The general CR system yielded a minimal image noise with mean and SD 66.6±8.9 and a high image contrast with a mean and range 1.63 (1.4-1.8). Quality of the obtained images were higher for the general CR comparing to the general DR and portable DR. However, portable DR resulted in a lower size distortion.
SPECIES LIMITS, MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS AND HISTORICAL BIOGEOGRAPHY OF THE CALIFORNIA SPIDER GENUS PIMUS (ARANEAE: AMAUROBIIDAE)

The genus Pimus Chamberlin 1947 is a group of small-bodied, cribellate, ground-dwelling spiders found throughout central and northern California, and into central Oregon. Ten species of Pimus have been formally described. Historically, descriptions of Pimus species have been based on female morphology alone, and in some cases based on single female specimens. The goals of this study are to re-evaluate these species hypotheses using molecular data (CO1, actin and 28S), and use new collections as well as museum specimens to provide a more comprehensive examination of both female and male morphology. No hypotheses regarding species relationships in the genus have ever been presented, so this study also presents the first species-level phylogenetic hypotheses for the genus. Pimus species are distributed throughout many biogeographic regions in California, and seem to be characterized by small, allopatric distributions - this study also explores the biogeographic history and timing of diversification in Pimus. Phylogenetic analyses recover twelve distinctive genetic clades, six of which correspond to previously-defined morphological species. Biogeographic regions do not include monophyletic groups of species, with sister relationships most often occurring between geographically disjunct sister species. Many biogeographic relationships seen in Pimus are mirrored in other taxa (spiders, salamanders), and include relationships that span the Central Valley, and concordant breaks in the Klamath/Trinity mountains, Sierra Nevadas and Coast Ranges. Neither male nor female genitalia were particularly useful in species delimitation, however the shape of the male palpal RTA (retrolateral tibial apophysis) does correspond phylogenetically to deeper groupings of species.
Studies on Seedborne Fungi of Soybean

The present investigation was undertaken with the main objective to determine studies on seedborne fungi of soybean were conducted at DSST and Plant Pathology, College of Agriculture, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad. A total of 120 representative soybean seed samples (cv. JS - 335) from major soybean growing districts of Andhra Pradesh viz., Adilabad (60 samples) and Nizamabad (60 samples) were collected during Rainy season 2012. Total per cent incidence of seed mycoflora in Nizamabad and Adilabad districts ranged from 30 to 49.2 % and 23.6 to 45.0 % by blotter method, 14.8 to 28.1% and 11.6 to 22.1% by 2, 4 - D blotter method, 11.8 to 19.3 % and 9.5 to 16.2 % by deep freeze blotter method, 13.1 to 37% and 15.4 to 26.4 % by agar plate method, respectively. Out of nine fungal species recorded, M. phaseolina was found predominant in the samples analysed from two districts (8.5 to 28.5 %), while the occurrence of Cladosporium sp. (0.3 to 0.5%) was least. Out of four methods employed for detection of seed mycoflora, standard blotter method was found superior over other methods.
Obtaining tire tread model from its real world photo

Tire prints are among the most common types of evidence at crime scenes. Therefore they represent important evidence, that can be essential for a culprit reveal. The important characteristics of a tire tread is its wearing down. This process may affect basic shape of tire tread print.In the paper we present experiment, in which we use convolutional neural network to get 3D model of tire tread from its 2D photography. The model may be later used to simulate wear down of tire tread and thus to estimate new shape of its print.
