Isolation, biochemical and molecular detection of Aeromonas hydrophila from cultured Oncorhynchus mykiss

The isolation of Aeromonas hydrophila from Oncorhynchus mykiss reared in the farms was the aim of the present study. Ninety samples were collected aseptically from the infected fish with signs of hemorrhagic septicemia in gill and skin, exophthalmia, dropsy and 36 water samples were sub-cultured on Tryptic Soya Agar (TSA), as well as kidney. The genotyping by PCR method was used to amplify the gene of 16 SrDNA using primers 27F and 1492R as primer pairs to achieve an approximate length of 1500 bp. The identified motile Aeromonas species were sequenced with electrogram chromas format in chrome version 1/41 software and a phylogenetic tree was drowned by MEGA5.1 software. The results showed that 19% of 24 isolated from gram-negative bacteria were detected as Aeromonas, which the sequencing results revealed that all the isolated bacteria had 99% similarities with the standard A. hydrophila. The results of environmental factors showed when the levels of dissolved oxygen have decreased and the levels of nitrite and ammonia have increased throughout the year, Aeromonasias is increased. Also, when the water has gone alkaline due to increased ammonia, the disease has increased. It may be concluded that fish farmers should take proper management practices to avoid such disease in cultured fishes especially rainbow trout and to get rid of the infection by such serious bacterial pathogen like Aeromonas hydrophila by improving their culture strategy and culture ecosystem.
Comparative Studies of Geographically Isolated Populations in Japan Based on Dental Measurements

In recent years, considerable attention has been paid on the physical characteristics of the Ainu and the Okinawa Islanders in connection with the origin of modern Japanese. In the present study, the metric traits of the dentition in the Tokunoshima Islanders, the Aogashima Islanders, the Okinawa Islanders and the Ainu were compared with each other and with those in the modern populations from Tokyo and Nagasaki, and the Aeneolithic Yayoi population. The first four populations have been isolated or at least nearly isolated for a long period from the populations of main island of Japan because of their geographic conditions.As regards the shape factors in the dentition, the four isolated populations are closely related to each other, and they show closer affinities to the Tokyo population than to the Nagasaki and the Yayoi populations. The shape factor in the latter two populations shows similar trends but is quite different from that in the other four isolated populations as well as the Tokyo population. Using the principal component analysis method, it is elucidated that the relative size of premolars and incisors plays an important role in difference of the shape factor among the populations. Taking all the results obtained into account, the characteristics of the dentition in the isolated populations are likely under the same genetic control which is common to the Neolithic Jomon population. The origin and affinity of modern Japanese are discussed on the basis of such findings.
Effects of cutting dates on nutritive value of Napier (Pennis___

The experiment was conducted at Pawe Agricultural R esearch Center located Northwestern Ethiopia to ass ess the effects of days at cutting on nutrient yield and quality of Napier grass ( Pennisetum purpureum) planted sole and in association with desmodium ( Desmodium intortum) or lablab ( Lablab purpureus). The experimental design was a split plot design with three cutting dates (60, 90 and 120 days from planting) as main plots and five plant associations , namely, Napier grass sole, desmodium sole, lablab sole, Napier gra ss / desmodium and Napier grass / lablab associatio ns as subplots. The 15 treatments were replicated thrice. Significant (P<0.01) effects of days at cutting, pl ant associations and their interactions was observe d on crude protein yield (CPY), in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD), content of C P, neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), acid detergent lignin (ADL), ash and h emicellulose. The CPY, NDF, ADF, ADL and hemicellul ose increased significantly (P<0.01), whereas CP, ash a nd IVOMD decreased significantly (P<0.01) with adva nce in plant maturity. The CP content of all the treatments (inc luding the factors and their interaction) was above the minimum level of 7% required for optimum rumen function. Cutting Napier grass and the legume associations at 60 and 90 days could also satisfy the minimum CP contents of 15% require d for lactation and growth. Relatively high IVOMD v alues of 71.9, 68.0 and 63.5% were respectively obtained at 60, 90 and 120 days of cutting for the Napier grass/ labl ab association. Digestible organic matter yield (DOMY) was maximum at 120 days of cutting. It was concluded that the association of Napier gra ss with both legume species generally improved the nutritive value of Napier grass, however, better results were obtained for the parameters of nutritive value considered i n the study when Napier grass was planted in association with lablab for all cutting days.
Parameters optimization of crop protection UAS based on the first industry standard of China

The effective swath width (ESW) and the droplet penetration rate (DPR) directly affect the spraying quality, the spraying efficiency and the control effect of pests and diseases during the crop protection unmanned aircraft system (CPUAS) application. However, the ESW and DPR are not constant with the changes of the flight speed (FS) and the flight height (FH). In order to investigate the ESW and DPR of the CPUAS P20, four levels of FS (3 m/s, 4 m/s, 5 m/s and 6 m/s) and three levels of FH (1.5 m, 2.0 m and 2.5 m) experiments were carried out according to the first industry standard of China for the CPUAS in the wheat field. The results demonstrated that the ESWs were negatively correlated with the FS and the FH. Most of the ESWs were over 2 m in the 12 treatments, in which the maximum one was 3.25 m (3 m/s, 1.5 m). The DPRs were negatively correlated with the FH under the same FS, the average value of the DPRs was 48.37%, in which the maximum one was 78.34% (4 m/s, 1.5 m) and the minimum one was 25.5% (6.0 m/s, 2.5 m). The statistical analyses showed that the FS had significant impacts on the ESWs (0.01 0.05). The impacts of both FS and FH on the DPRs were extremely significant (p-value<0.01), and the interactive impacts were significant (0.01<p-value<0.05). Therefore, it is concluded that reducing the FS could increase the ESWs, and reducing the FH could increase the DRPs at the same FS. In conclusion, the maximum spraying efficiency of P20 was 4.342 ha/h with 6 m/s FS and 1.5 m FH in case of satisfying the requirement of DPRs. This study provided scientific references for guiding the CPUAS spraying.

Taioba is a plant species from the group of unconventional vegetables that has currently been introduced into the Brazilian diet. The objective of the present work was to study the technical feasibility of the cultivation of taioba in the hydroponic ebb and flow system and the influence of the substrate. The experimental design was in randomized blocks and the treatments consisted of 10 different substrates: (1) 60% sand + 40% coal powder; (2) 80% coconut fiber + 20% vermiculite vermiculite; (3) 80% Sand + 20% coal powder; (4) 70% sand + 30% humus; (5) coconut fiber; (6) 70% sand + 30% vermiculite; (7) 80% sand + 20% vermiculite; (8) sand; (9) commercial substrate Carolina ® and (10) 50% sand + 30% humus + 20% vermiculite. The best results were obtained with treatments 2 and 9 for the number of leaves, plant height, stem diameter, transverse and longitudinal leaf diameters, dry and fresh root mass, and dry and fresh plant mass. Except for the total carotenoid contents, no statistical differences were observed for the physical-chemical characteristics. It was concluded that cultivation of taioba in the hydroponic ebb and flow system has technical feasibility. The substrate has influence in the technical feasibility.
The Effect of Foreign Language Education on Preschoolers’ Native Language Development

The present study is conducted to examine how foreign language education may affect preschool children's native language development. The study was carried out with 70 children who were 48-60 months-old and attending a public preschool in Alanya, a district of Antalya, in Turkey. The Solomon Four-Group Design was used. Children’s native language skills were assessed via the Turkish Early Language Development Test (Tedil-3) and the experimental process took 8 weeks. Mann Whitney U and Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Tests were used in the analysis of the data as the data did not show normal distribution. After determining the effect of the experimental procedure, the children included in the control groups were subjected to the same experimental procedure for 8 weeks under the “right to benefit from the experiment process” which has never been applied before in any studies in Turkey. The findings were discussed within the framework of the literature and various suggestions were presented.
Capital Flows, Asset Prices, and the Real Economy: A "China Shock" in the U.S. Real Estate Market

We study the effects of foreign real estate capital flows on local asset prices and employment using detailed housing transactions data. We document (i) a "China shock" in the U.S. real estate market after 2007 driven by the Chinese government's house purchase restrictions and (ii) "home bias" in foreign Chinese housing purchases in the United States as they are concentrated in ZIP codes historically populated by ethnic Chinese. Exploiting the quasi-random temporal and spatial variation of real estate capital inflows from China, we find that foreign Chinese housing purchases have a positive and significant effect on local housing and labor markets. A one standard deviation increase in exposure to these purchases explains 24% and 18% of the cross-ZIP-code variation in local house prices and employment, respectively, with the employment effect transmitted through a housing net worth channel. We also show that these purchases drive out lower-income residents. Our results highlight the role of foreign real estate capital flows in both stimulating the real economy and inducing gentrification in local economies.
Varietal Resistance of Rice to the Asiatic Rice Borer, Chilo suppressalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), and Its Association with Various Plant Characters

Infestation by the Asiatic rice borer, Chilo suppressalis (Walker), varied significantly and consistently among the 33 rice varieties of diversified germ plasm that were studied. Highly significant positive correlations were recorded between percentages of infested tillers and height of the culm, external and internal diameters of the stem, number of elongated internodes, and width and length of flag-leaf blades; correlations were negative between such percentages and number of tillers per plant and the cross-sectional culm area occupied by the vascular bundle sheaths toward the periphery of the stem. The results indicate that differences in borer infestation were caused by a combination of factors, and that no single factor was responsible for plant resistance. In general, the rice varieties less susceptible to rice borer infestation were those with hairy upper lamina, tight leaf-sheath wrapping, small stem with a ridged surface, and thicker hypodermal layers.
Impact Of Health Education Programme About Obesity For Obese Female Employee At Assiut University

Egypt is one of the countries in the world where the problem of obesity has been nearing an epidemic level. Currently, nearly 70% of adult women and 48% of men in Egypt are overweight or obese. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the health education programme to control obesity among female employees at Assiut University. A quiz-experimental design was used to apply health education intervention. A convenient sampling technique was utilized. Data was collected using two tools, the first tool, self administered questionnaire it cover two parts, part one included socio-demographic. Part two consisted female employees' knowledge about nutrition and obesity) the second tool Anthropometric measurements (waist circumference weight, height, and BMI). The mean age was 45.60 ± 9.65. The results illustrated that about three quarters (74.0%) of the studied sample has poor knowledge in pre-test compares to only (12.0%) in post-test had poor knowledge. Also more than one quarter (26.0%) of the studied sample had satisfactory level of knowledge in pre-test, while in post-test more than half (54.0%) of them have the satisfactory level of knowledge. There is a significant difference in pre/post tests of female employees' knowledge. Conclusion the health education program has an effective role in improvement of knowledge about balanced diet and obesity. Also, recommended that Booklets of Arabic language about obesity and management of body weight should be available in library of faculties. Increase public awareness about balanced diet, nutritional needs in every age group.
The Effects of Dietary Taurine on Growth and Taurine Levels in Whole Body of Juvenile Japanese Flounder Paralichthys olivaceus.

沿岸魚粉をタンパク質源に必須, 非必須およびタウリンの結晶アミノ酸を添加した試験飼料を用いて, 平均体重0. 15g(平均全長26mm)のヒラメ稚魚を5週間飼育した。 その結果, タウリンが添加された全ての試験区は対照区に比較し優れた飼育成績を示した。 一方, 必須および非必須の両アミノ酸単独添加区は対照区と同等の成績しか示さなかったことから, ヒラメ稚魚の成長に対するタウリンの有効性が明らかになった。 飼料中のタウリン含量が20mg/g前後で魚体中のタウリン含量はほぼ最大値に達するとともにタウリン無添加区の魚体中シスタチオニン含量は, タウリン添加区に比較し著しく高い値を示していた。 これらの結果から, 飼料中へのタウリン添加は, ヒラメ稚魚の含硫アミノ酸代謝に何らかの影響を及ぼすこと, 飼料中のタウリン要求量は15-20mg/gの範囲にあることが示唆された。
Forms of vitamin E Content and availability Topical application Deficiency Functions in Healthy Skin Photoprotection Anti-inflammatory effects Wound healing Other Conclusion

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that is essential for the maintenance of healthy skin. Naturally occurring vitamin E is not a single compound; instead, vitamin E is a group of molecules with related structures, some of which may have unique properties in skin. Vitamin E is also found as vitamin E conjugates that increase stability but require cellular metabolism for activation. Vitamin E is normally provided to the skin through the sebum. Topical application can also supply the skin with vitamin E and may provide specific vitamin E forms that are not available from the diet. As an antioxidant, vitamin E primarily reacts with reactive oxygen species. In addition, vitamin E can also absorb the energy from ultraviolet (UV) light. Thus, it plays important roles in photoprotection, preventing UV-induced free radical damage to skin. Vitamin E may also have related antiinflammatory roles in the skin. Other roles of vitamin E in the skin are poorly understood because research is limited. This article discusses the roles of vitamin E in the skin and summarizes the current knowledge about vitamin E in skin health.
Adoption Levels of Cocoa Rehabilitation Programmes in South West Nigeria

Cocoa is an important crop to the economies of countries such as Nigeria, Cote D’Ivoire, Ghana and Cameroon in West Africa. In an effort to revive cocoa sector and increase cocoa production in Nigeria led to cocoa rehabilitation programme (CRPs) by the Federal Government of Nigeria. This study ascertained the adoption levels of farmers in cocoa rehabilitation programmes in South-west Nigeria. Data for the study were collected from 240 cocoa farmers through the use of interview schedule and focus group discussion. Multistage sampling procedure was used in selecting respondents. Data were analysed using percentage and mean statistics. Results revealed that, adoption level was low for coppicing techniques (38.0%, 32.0% and 33.0%) and complete replanting (25.0%, 27.0% and 26.0%) of cocoa rehabilitation programme, respectively, for the three groups of farmers (farmers that benefitted from government agency cocoa resuscitation programme, farmers that benefitted from non-governmental agency cocoa resuscitation programme and farmers that benefitted from both governmental and nongovernmental agencies). Planting of young cocoa seedling under old cocoa trees (98%, 94%, 95%) and selective planting/gapping up (68.0%, 81.0% and 79.0%) had a very high adoption level for the three groups of the farmers. The most helpful agency in the adoption of cocoa resuscitation programmes was Agricultural Development Programme. To improve the level of adoption of cocoa resuscitation programmes, the federal government of Nigeria should further intensify efforts in encouraging more farmers in cocoa rehabilitation programme by providing the necessary incentives (like distribution of free cocoa seedlings) to the farmers as at when necessary.
Subcommission Paleogene-Neogene Discussion & Proposal Text

The Brussels Formation corresponds to a marine sand layer that was well exposed at Brussels (Bruxelles, Brussel) east of the Zenne river. At the present time, many quasi-permanent outcrops have decayed and no longer provide good exposures. Good temporary exposures are frequently offered in small and large excavations related to infrastructure works and building sites. Dumont (1839) formalized a stratigraphic name already in use at the time, by introducing the "système bruxellien" (in d'Omalius d'Halloy, 1842). It was defined to incorporate two sedimentary "étages", a lower "sable à grès lustré" and an upper "sable à grès calcarifère". The name “bruxellien” is used on the late 19 century 1:40,000 geological maps of Belgium (Rutot, 1893); those maps were published long before the systematic distinction between lithoand chronostratigraphy was introduced (Hedberg, 1976). The evolution of the precise stratigraphic significance of the term ‘bruxellien’ since its introduction by Dumont (1839) has been reviewed by Steurbaut and Herman (2006). In response to the need of introducing a proper lithostratigraphic term, the names Formatie van Brussel (Dutch) / Formation de Bruxelles (French) were formalized (Geets, 1988, in Laga, 1988) to designate the depositional unit until then commonly named "bruxellien" or "brusseliaan". The late 20 century revisions of the 1:50,000 geological maps of the Flemish Region and 1:25,000 maps of the Walloon Region adopted the new lithostratigraphic terms.
Effect of Pomegranate Juice against High Fat Diet Induced Fatty Liver in rats

This research aims at studying the effect of pomegranate juice against high fat diet induced fatty liver in rats. Forty adult male rats Sprague-Dawley strain, were divided into four groups of ten rats each weighing 180±20g. (G1) control group that were fed on standard diet, (G2) rats fed on standard diet with Pomegranate juice (20 ml/kg body weight orally) , (G3) rats fed on high fat diet, (G4) rats fed on high fat diet with pomegranate juice (20 ml/kg body weight orally). The experiment was conducted for 6 weeks. The incidence of fatty liver was evaluated by assayed the liver enzymes in serum (alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase), serum lipid profile such as total cholesterol , high density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides and histopathological examination of liver. The high fat diet group (G3), revealed hyperlipidemia, elevated in liver enzymes and histological changes in the liver tissue. While, the rats fed high fat diet with pomegranate juice group (G4), showed reduction in the levels of serum lipids and improvement in the liver enzymes. Furthermore, pomegranate juice reduced the occurrence of histological changes in rat's liver . The results of the study concluded that daily administration of pomegranate juice can protect against developing changes caused by high fat diet and reduced the development of fatty liver. These findings suggested that drinking pomegranate juice may be beneficial for people who are exposed to fatty liver or hypercholesterolemia.
