THERMOREGULATORY, HAEMATOLOGICAL, AND METABOLIC RESPONSES OF SOLAR RADIATED FRIESIAN CALVES FED DIETARY PROTECTED FAT

Effects of protected fat supplementation (PF) on thermoregulatory, haematological and metabolic responses of growing Friesian calves exposed to solar radiation (SR) or kept under semi-open shed (SH) were studied through four experimental phases. The 1 st phase was to exposing the animals to SR for 6 h daily (SR). The 2 nd phase was to keep the calves under shed (SH). The 3 rd and the 4 th phases were to feeding the exposed and shaded calves on PF (SR+PF and SH+PF, respectively). Results showed that all calves exposed to very sever heat stress at most of the day times during all experimental phases. In calves exposed to SR, temperatures of hair (HT), skin (ST) and rectum (RT), and respiration (RR) and pulse rate (PR) significantly increased by about 2.3, 4.1, 2.2, 14.5 and 4.4%, respectively. However, red blood cell count (RBC), packed cell volume (PCV%) and concentration of haemoglobin (Hb), total protein (TP), globulin (GL), total lipids (TL), cholesterol (CL) and glucose significantly (P<0.01) decreased by about 10.1, 10.1, 4.5, 3.3 , 6.9 4.0, 4.0 and 6.0%, respectively as compared to the shaded calves. Feeding calves on PF diet led to increasing (P<0.01) all values of the thermoregulatory responses, improving RBC, PCV% and concentration of Hb, TL and CL and decreasing glucose concentration as compared to those without PF supplementation. Yet, rumen temperature, blood pH value, white blood cell count (WBC) and albumin (AL) was not affected by SR treatment or PF supplementation. On the other hand, values of RBC, Hb, TP, GL and CL during SR + PF did not differ significantly than during SH. While, values of PCV% and glucose concentration were lower (P<0.01) and of TL was higher (P<0.01) in calves during SR + PF than SH. Only, concentration of TL increased (P<0.01) in calves during SH + PF than SH. The present study suggests the possibility of using PF as a technique for ameliorating heat load on Friesian calves to improve their productivity during summer specially those exposed to solar radiation.
Numerical simulation of soil-water jet interaction with smoothed particle hydrodynamics

Smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) is a meshfree, Lagrangian particle method, which has been applied to different areas in sciences and industrial applications. In this work, SPH is used to simulate the soil-water jet interaction and erosion. In the simulation, water is modelled as a viscous fluid with weak compressibility and the soil is assumed to be an elastic-perfectly plastic material. The stress states of soil in the plastic flow regime follow the Drucker-Prager failure criterion. Both the shear and tensile criterions are used for the yield of soil particles if the yield point is reached and the total stress of the particle is scaled. Instead of computing particle pressure from an equation of state, the spherical stress is computed by dividing total stress into spherical stress and deviatoric stress. The interaction of coupling interfaces is strengthened by a penalty function to avoid unphysical penetration between particles from different materials. The obtained numerical results have shown that SPH could be a valuable method for the simulation of complex soil water interaction.
Cyclotron motion in graphene

We investigate cyclotron motion in graphene monolayers considering both the full quantum dynamics and its semiclassical limit reached at high carrier energies. Effects of zitterbewegung due to the two dispersion branches of the spectrum dominate the irregular quantum motion at low energies and are obtained as a systematic correction to the semiclassical case. Recent experiments are shown to operate in the semiclassical regime.
A Voronoi- and surface-based approach for the automatic generation of depth-contours for hydrographic charts

Depth-contours are an essential part of any hydrographic chart—a map of a waterbody intended for safe ship navigation. Traditionally these were manually drawn by skilled hydrographers from a limited set of surveyed depth measurements. Nowadays this process of map making is shifted towards the digital domain, not in the last place because of the huge amounts of data resulting from modern surveying techniques. Furthermore, the task of automating the process of cartographic generalization that depends on subjective criteria is challenging. The produced depth-contours should comply with the four hydrographic generalization constraints of safety, legibility (smoothness), topology and waterbody morphology. I show that grid-based approaches to generalize depth contours that are currently used in practice do not always comply with those fundamental generalization constraints. Most notably, the safety constraint, that ensures that a map never indicates an area as being shallower than measured, is often violated. But also the legibility and morphology constraints are not always optimally respected. Furthermore, heterogeneous datasets (that contain a transition of very sparse to very dense data), can lead to unwished interpolation artifacts, when the popular Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) spatial interpolation method is used. Part of this problem is the non-adaptive nature of IDW, that requires the user to re-set the interpolation parameters when the spatial distribution of the input point changes. I present and prototype a novel surface-based approach for the generalization of hydrographic depth-contours that is based on the Voronoi Diagram (VD) and performs generalization on the surface that defines the contours, rather on the contour lines individually. Through the VD, a fully adaptive, automatic and smooth spatial interpolation method known as the Laplace interpolant is coupled with a Delaunay Triangulation (DT) data structure that contains all data points with their exact planimetric coordinates. Using this concept a number of operators is defined that are able to perform the relevant cartographic generalization operations for hydrographic contours: simplification, smoothing, aggregation, omission and enlargement. The significance of the proposed approach lies herein that it honors all four hydrographic generalization constraints, most notably: it is guaranteed to be safe. As opposed to current automated approaches, it does therefore not require any form of manual safety verification. And, because all of the employed algorithms are local, it is also well scalable to big datasets in principle.
A manikin study comparing the performance of traditional Macintosh laryngoscope, GlideScope®, Airtraq®, and video-optical intubation stylet in endotracheal intubation used by emergency doctors in simulated difficult airway intubation: A pilot study

Background: The video-optical intubation stylet (VS) is a slim, rigid but flexible intubating device that aids physicians to intubate patients, particularly with difficult airways. Objectives: The objective of this study was to compare the performance of emergency department doctors in using different intubating devices for intubation in an airway manikin simulating different difficult airway scenarios. Methods: Thirty emergency department doctors were recruited in a pilot study. Their performance of using traditional Macintosh laryngoscope, GlideScope®, Airtraq® and C-MAC® Video Stylet were compared in three situations: normal, restricted cervical motion and limited oral aperture. The time for intubation, first attempt success rate, failure rate, dental injury and the subjective ease of different devices by the participants were compared. Result: The mean intubation time by VS in each scenario was significantly shorter compared with other devices (Normal: 19.77s vs 24.67–28.19s, p = 0.014; Cervical restriction: 20.85 vs 26.17–31.26s, p = 0.008; Limited oral aperture:19.03 vs 29.35, p = 0.001). However, there was no significant difference in failure rate or first attempt success rate. The incidence of dental injury was significantly lower with VS than other laryngoscopes (p = 0.001, p < 0.05 and p < 0.05 in normal, cervical restriction and limited oral aperture scenarios, respectively). Moreover, participants appreciated that VS was the easiest device to intubate in each scenario. (p < 0.05 in all scenarios) Conclusion: The performance of VS was comparable to or even better than the commonly used laryngoscopes in the emergency department in airway management. When adequate training is provided, VS can be a potentially good alternative for tracheal intubation in different situations.
Phytochemical analysis and antibacterial potential of Onosma hispidium and Alcea rosea

Introduction and Aim: Medicinal plants are widely used in traditional medicine to cure various infectious diseases in human. The medicinal herbs like Onosma hispidium and Alcea rosea have been traditionally used for the variety of clinical disorders like jaundice, Diabetes, malaria, rheumatism and have been used as laxative, anthelmintic, disorder of blood, disease of eyes, bronchitis, abdominal pain, antibacterial and as wound healer. The present study was undertaken to investigate the antibacterial potential of aqueous, ethyl acetate and methanolic extracts of Onosma hispidium and Alcea rosea, a traditionally used medicinal plants with multiple therapeutic properties. Materials and Methods: The susceptibility of microbial strains to the plant extracts was determined using agar well diffusion method. The bacterial strains employed were Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris and Escherichia coli. Phytochemical screening was performed using standard methods. Results: A dose dependent increase in the antibacterial activity was observed with both the methanol, ethyl acetate and aqueous extracts. Among the plants screened, in Onosma hispidium the highest antibacterial activity was exhibited by aqueous extract with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (25±1.88) followed by Staphylococcus aureus (22 ± 0.22 mm) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (20.21±1.01) at the concentration of 100 mg/ml respectively. while in case of Alcea rosea, the ethyl acetate extract exhibited the highest antibacterial activity with Escherichia coli (28±1.56) followed by Staphylococcus aureus (25 ± 01.58 mm) Klebsiella pneumoniae (18±0.74) and Proteus vulgaris (13±0.12) at the concentration of 100 mg/ml respectively. Phytochemical analysis revealed the plants are rich in various secondary metabolites like alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, phenols, terpenoids and volatile oils. Conclusion: The plants contain novel compounds with broad spectrum antibacterial properties. The isolation and characterization of these novel compounds could lead to the development of effective therapeutic antimicrobials to fight pathogenic infections.
Factors Influencing Artificial Intelligence Adoption in Publicly Listed Manufacturing Companies: A Technology, Organisation, and Environment Approach

This study examines the factors influencing artificial intelligence (AI) adoption in publicly listed manufacturing companies in Malaysia. Specifically, three factors are investigated based on the technology, organisation, and environment (TOE) framework: information technology (IT) capability, top management support, and government support. Using a questionnaire survey of 127 respondents from publicly listed manufacturing companies in Malaysia, this study shows that top management support and government support significantly affect AI adoption in publicly listed manufacturing companies. However, the results show that IT capability does not significantly influence the AI adoption of publicly listed manufacturing companies. Thus, the findings provide evidence of the influence of IT capability, top management support, and government support on AI adoption in publicly listed manufacturing companies. In addition, the findings of this study contribute to the existing literature on AI adoption in publicly listed manufacturing companies in Malaysia.
Utilization of some natural plants sources in producing new product (gummy jelly candy)

Jelly candies are circulating among many people and children which do not have nutritional value and contains synthetic dyes that are very harmful to the consumer body especially gummy jelly candy is highly favored by all circles. The idea of adding natural plant extracts which have good nutritional value into candy product have been developed. Five gummy jelly candies were made by adding natural plant extracts such as Lemon, peppermint, Tamarind, Red Roselle and date fruits with chocolate. The results showed that moisture content ranged from 15.119 to 20,001&,total soluble solids ranged from 60 to 61%, protein ranged from 10.809 to 19.949%, total sugars ranged from 54 to 58%, color at 420 nm ranged from 0.119 to 0.924, the result obtained that (T1) had the high content of total phenolic compounds (26.094 mg/g GAE) while (T2) had the lowest value (13.199 mg/g GAE) , meanwhile the values content of (T5), (T3), and (T4) were 18.147 , 17.892 and 15.926 mg/g GAE respectively. The antioxidant activity of gummy jelly candy ranged from 71.837 to 46.865 % respectively. For the texture profile analysis (TPA) added date fruit juice and chocolate had the high value of all the parameters of TPA compared to the others treatments, while storage for three and six months led to increment and decrement in all the TPA of all gummy jelly candies treatments. Regarding sensory evaluation, no significant differences were found among the five jelly candies studied for most of the parameters, except treatment (T5) which a significant difference was observed in texture between it and the others at zero time these resultsconfirmed by the TPA analysis. Thedescription of the overall palatability by the panelists ranged between much palatable and palatable for all the products.Finally, it could be concluded through this study that it was, successful to produce gummy jelly candieswith adding natural plant extracts and offers a perfect candies forconsumers and children's which concerned a sweets
Fusion of the Sixth and Seventh Cervical Vertebra: A Case Report

Aim: To report a rare fusion of the 6th and 7th cervical vertebra in a cadaver specimen. Presentation of Case: A fused C6-C7 vertebra was discovered during maceration in the Anatomy laboratory in a South-Eastern Nigerian University. The laminas were completely fused while their bodies, transverse processes and spinous processes were fused partially. Discussion: Block vertebra is the fusion of one or more adjoining vertebrae in which they act as one, both structurally and functionally. These fusions, although present in other regions, is more common in the cervical region. Among the reported cases, there is a higher incidence of fusion between C2-C3 with only few reported cases of fusion between C6-C7. Fused cervical vertebra impact biochemical and mechanical stress on the adjoining vertebra which results in various neurological and physical problems, hence the report could create an insight that could aid researchers and medical diagnoses. Conclusion: This unusual fusion of C6-C7 vertebra reported provides basis of anatomical variations in which proper documentation of incidence and knowledge will be beneficial to anatomists, orthopaedic surgeons, radiologists and other medical personnel.
Why tourism economists should treat resident well-being more seriously

Recognising that well-being is a primary policy objective, tourism economics must incorporate resident well-being outcomes into conceptual analysis, empirical findings and policy assessment in a more inclusive way. Use of a well-being lens allows the research effort in tourism economics to convert tourism development impacts into resident well-being outcomes and better align with the broader Beyond GDP research agenda to measure societal progress. Several areas of tourism research are identified where determination of well-being outcomes can enrich economic analysis and its input into policymaking. This requires new concepts and new systems of measurement to support tourism policymaking with tourism economists expected to play an important role in the research effort.
Study of Residual Product Nuclide Yields in 1.0 GeV Proton-Irradiated 208-Pb and 2.6 GeV Proton-Irradiated nat-W Thin Targets

113 residual product nuclide yields in a 1.0 GeV proton-irradiated thin monoisotopic 208-Pb sample and 107 residual product nuclide yields in a 2.6 GeV proton-irradiated nat-W sample have been measured and simulated by 8 different codes. The irradiations were made using proton beams extracted from the ITEP synchrotron. The nuclide yields were gamma-spectrometered directly using a high-resolution Ge-detector. The gamma-spectra were processed by the GENIE-2000 code. The ITEP-developed SIGMA code was used together with the PCNUDAT nuclear decay database to identify the gamma-lines and to determine the cross-sections. The 27-Al(p,x)Na-22 reaction was used to monitor the proton flux. The measured yields are compared with calculation the LAHET (with ISABEL and Bertini options), CEM95, CEM2k, CASCADE, CASCADE/INPE, INUCL, and YIELDX codes. Estimates of the mean deviation factor are used to demonstrate the predictive power of the codes. The results obtained may be of interest in studying the parameters of the Pb and W target modules of the hybrid Accelerator-Driven System (ADS) facilities.
The effects of paulownia (Paulownia tomentosa) leaf extract enriched diets on meat quality, sensory attributes, and the potential economic impact of broilers

Abstract The present study was conducted to assess the effect of paulownia (Paulownia tomentosa) leaf extract (PLE) enriched diets on the quality of meat and the economic efficiency of broiler chickens. A total of 180 one-day-old male chicks (Cobb) were randomly assigned to four treatments with five replications each (9 birds per replicate). The chickens were fed corn-soybean-based diets supplemented with different levels of PLE (0, 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 g kg−1) for 42 days. The results showed that the inclusion of up to 0.5 g kg−1 PLE in the diet of broiler chickens significantly improved the live body weight, carcase weight, and carcase components (liver, heart, and gizzard) weights compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Enriched broiler diets with 0.5 g kg−1 of PLE significantly reduced collagen and lipid content as well as increased total protein levels in both breast and thigh muscle compared to the un-supplemented group (P < 0.001). Subjective evaluation of the breast meat showed a significant linear improvement in flavour and juiciness of meat samples from birds fed with dietary PLE in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05). Supplementation with different levels of PLE significantly improved the sensory attributes (flavour, tenderness, juiciness, and overall acceptability) of thigh meat in a dose-dependent manner (linear; P < 0.05). Total potential return and net profit were significantly increased in all groups fed PLE compared to the control group. Birds that received PLE-supplemented diets at a level of 0.5 g kg−1 had the highest economic efficiency (P < 0.05). Conclusively, supplementation with 0.5 g PLE/kg in broiler diets could improve meat quality and economic efficiency. Highlights Enriched broiler diets with 0.5 g paulownia leaf extract significantly enhanced carcase measurements. Supplemented broiler diets with 0.5 g PLE significantly enhanced the meat quality and sensory attributes of thigh meat. Birds fed PLE-supplemented diets at a level of 0.5 g/kg had the highest economic efficiency.
Interface tension of Bose-Einstein condensates

Motivated by recent observations of phase-segregated binary Bose-Einstein condensates, we propose a method to calculate the excess energy due to the interface tension of a trapped configuration. By this method one should be able to numerically reproduce the experimental data by means of a simple Thomas-Fermi approximation, combined with interface excess terms and the Laplace equation. Using the Gross-Pitaevskii theory, we find expressions for the interface excesses which are accurate in a very broad range of the interspecies and intraspecies interaction parameters. We also present finite-temperature corrections to the interface tension which, aside from the regime of weak segregation, turn out to be small.
