Effects of the Absence of Rumen Ciliate Protozoa on Urinary Allantoin Excretion in Goats

ルーメンプロトゾアが尿中アラントイン排泄量に及ぼす影響について検討した. 結果については,尿中アラントイン排泄量が小腸で吸収される微生物体蛋白質量に比例するとの前提で考察した. 試験は2回行ない,それぞれ6頭の日本ザーネン種去勢ヤギを用いた. このうち半数はルーメンプロトゾア不在ヤギ,残りの半数はプロトゾア存在ヤギとした. 尿中アラントイン排泄量は,プロトゾア存在ヤギに比較して不在ヤギで高まる傾向が示された. プロトゾア不在ヤギにおいては,可消化有機物(DOM)摂取量がルーメン微生物体蛋白質合成の制限因子と考えられる場合には尿中アラントイン排泄量はDOM摂取量に比例して増加した. また,ルーメン微生物への窒素の供給が制限因子と考えられる場合には,尿素摂取量の増加に伴い尿中アラントイン排泄量が増加した. 尿中のアラントイン/クレアチニン比も同様の結果を示した. 一方,存在ヤギにおいては,尿素摂取量が増加しても尿中アラントイン排泄量は変化しなかった. このにとは,尿素が窒素源として給与される場合には,ルーメンプロトゾアの存在により小腸で消化吸収される微生物体蛋白質量が減少することを示している.

Relation between soil salinity and species composition of halophytic plant communities: A baseline data inventory for wetland monitoring

Our study sets forth the outcomes of an interdisciplinary project conducted in order to fill the information gap on the management of a wetland ecosystem, in the case of a protected area on the south-eastern coast of Turkey. The hypothesis of the study is that the pattern of species composition reflects soil salinity level and some species can act as relevant indicators. The study aimed to discover a relationship between soil salinity and vegetation composition and establish some indicators useful for monitoring. For this aim, the temporal and spatial changes of soil salinity were monitored and the distribution of coastal habitats and associated plant communities were described. Twenty-three plant communities were described according to the species compositions of the vegetation. Soil salinity was found to be a driving factor controlling the spatial distribution of the plant taxa. The dominant species of the study area are Halocnemum strobilaceum, Arthrocnemum fruticosum, Spergularia marina, Plantago coronopus, and Atriplex portulacoides. The peak average annual salinity value, 1535 mS/m, was measured in a pure stand of H. strobilaceum. A high significant positive correlation was determined between plant species richness and life form richness. Strong evidence was detected for species richness, which declines at higher salinity habitats and there is also some evidence that species turnover is greater among the 52 sampling quadrates. Eleven distinct habitats were determined.
A summary of the taxonomy and distribution of the red giant flying squirrel, Petaurista petaurista (Sciuridae, Sciurinae, Pteromyini), in mainland Southeast Asia with the first record from Lao PDR

Abstract The occurrence of the red giant flying squirrel, Petaurista petaurista, in Lao PDR is confirmed on the basis of a single adult male specimen obtained from an informal food market in Thatlouang village, Xekong Province in the south of the country. This individual was reported to have been collected from close-by Thatlouang in the mixed deciduous forest or dry dipterocarp forest on the Bolaven Plateau. The record extends the known distribution of this species by approximately 700 km eastwards. Information is provided on the external, cranial, dental, and bacular characters of the new Lao specimen. It is compared with the holotypes and/or type descriptions of seven taxa, namely, barroni, candidula, cicur, melanotus, penangensis, taylori, and terutaus, described from mainland Southeast Asia, all of which are currently included in the synonymy of P. petaurista. On the basis of its external pelage colour, the Lao specimen is referred to P. p. barroni, which was described from southeast Thailand and is considered here to be a valid subspecies.
Aging European Wild Hogs by Dentition

A method of aging pen-reared European wild hogs (Sus scrofa) was developed by using the time and order of tooth eruption and replacement. Wild hogs are born with incisors three (i-) and canines (cl-). All deciduous incisors and premolars erupt by 120 days. Molars one (MI) and premolars (P1), the first permanent teeth, erupt at about 5 months. At 7 months permanent incisors three (L! ) 1'3 canines (C ) replace their deciduous counterparts. Molars two (MI) and permanent incisors one (IU) are present in igs aged 12-15 m nths. Temporary premolars are replaced at 14-18 months, a d m e t lower incisors two (I-) erupt at 18-22 months. Upper incisors two (II.) d lower molars t ee (M--) erupt at 21-26 months. Permanent dentition is complete with the eruption of upper molar r A at 26 months or later. Since molars th ee (M-1) c ntinue to grow as the upper and lower jaws elongat this may possibly be used s a agi g c nique fo hogs over 26 months f age. T oth eruptio data ob ai ed fro wild trapped hogs correspo ded cl sely with the penn d h g d ta. Re earch on the Eur pean wild hog in T nnessee has be n handicapped by the lack of an aging technique. Although techniques are v ila l for agi g do estic species a d wild hogs in Euro e, it was ot known whether these methods could be applied reliably to the European wild hogs in Tennessee. I wish to thank James C. Lewis, Supervisor of Game Research, and Vernon Henry, European wild hog project leader, for reading the manuscript and offering suggestions. I am grateful to the following Game and Fish employees for assistance in handling the hogs: L. A. Hunt, E. Mountain, H. E. Rice, G. B. Peaden, R. R. Pugh, and D. J. Williams.
Mcphail Trap Captures of Anastrepha obliqua and Anastrepha ludens (Diptera: Tephritidae) in Relation to Time of Day

Anastrepha Schiner is the most economically important genus of fruit flies in Mexico (Aluja et al. 1987). These fruit flies are currently detected and surveyed with McPhail traps, although problems with efficiency and variability of capture have been described (Liedo 1983, Aluja et al. 1989). A few studies of the behavior of fruit flies employing McPhail traps have been reported (Prokopy & Economopoulos 1975, Aluja et al. 1989). McPhail (1937) studied the adult activity of Anastrepha ludens (Loew) in mango trees using McPhail traps
Kluyveromyces lactis β-galactosidase immobilization in calcium alginate spheres and gelatin for hydrolysis of cheese whey lactose

One of the greatest challenges for dairy industries is the correct destination of all the whey generated during cheese making, considering its high impact, the large volume created, and its technological potential. Enzymatic hydrolysis of cheese whey lactose is a biotechnological alternative. However, one of the limiting factors of its use is the relatively high cost of the enzymes, which could be lowered with the immobilization of these biocatalysts. Considering this context, the objective of this research was to evaluate the commercial Kluyveromyces lactis β-galactosidase enzyme immobilized in calcium alginate spheres and gelatin, using glutaraldehyde and concanavalin A (ConA) as modifying agents in the hydrolysis of cheese whey lactose process. Results have shown that the enzyme encapsulation complexed with ConA in alginate-gelatin spheres, without glutaraldehyde in the immobilization support, has significantly increased the hydrolysis of lactose rate, achieving a maximum conversion of 72%.
The Influence of Product Quality and Promotion on Repurchase Pertamax through Consumer Satisfaction in Makassar City

Pertamax is a non-subsidized fuel PT. Pertamina (Persero) and the company's biggest challenge is to change the buying pattern of people in order to switch from Premium to Pertamax. To change the buying pattern of a company's society should look at consumer behavior as well as the attributes contained in the product in order to provide satisfaction and re-purchase decisions. These attributes are product quality and promotion. This research aims to determine the quality of products and promotions positively and significantly affect consumer satisfaction, knowing product quality, promotion, and customer satisfaction positively and significantly towards purchasing decisions, and product quality and promotions have a positive and significant effect on the re-purchase decision through consumer satisfaction of Pertamax in the Makassar city. The population in this study was the consumer of Pertamax in the town of Makassar, which was designated 100 samples of respondents. Data collection techniques through questionnaires, literature, and observation studies, using path analysis techniques. The results of the product quality are positive and significant to customer satisfaction. Promotions have a positive and insignificant impact on consumer satisfaction. Consumer satisfaction has a positive and significant effect on repurchase decisions. The quality of products directly has a positive and significant effect on repurchase decisions. Directly promotion is positive and insignificant to repurchase decisions. The quality of products indirectly through consumer satisfaction has a positive and significant influence over the repurchase decision. Indirectly promotion through consumer satisfaction had a positive but insignificant influence on the repurchase decision of Pertamax in Makassar city.
Effect of Replacing Protein from Fish Meal with Soybean on the Performance of Broiler Chicken

Day old broiler chicks (n = 250) were fed on 5 isonitrogenous and isocaloric rations containing common ingredients. Fish meal (14%) was used as animal protein source (TI) and 25 (T2), 50 (T3), 75 (T4) and 100% (T5) of fish meal protein was replaced by soybean meal protein. In treatment rations, dicalcium phosphate and DL-Methionine were added to balance calcium, phosphorus and methionine. Live weight gain, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio and dressing percentage did not differ significantly among the groups. Total net profit was higher in the group T5. It is concluded that protein from fish meal can be completely replaced by soybean meal protein with supplementation of methionine (0.10%) in broiler ration economically.
Purification and some properties of an exo-β-1,3-glucanase from Trichoderma harzianum

In our previous paper,1* we report the preparation of the lytic enzyme from Trichoderma harzianum against basid- iomycetes and its application for preparing protoplasts of the latter fungi. Astrain of this fungus which had been isolated from Shiitake logs2) produces remarkable activities of /? -l,3-glucanase and chitinase when it is cultured in a mediumcontaining the powder of fruit-bodies of basid- iomycetes as carbon source. We describe here the purification and some properties of an exo-/M,3-glucanase from T. harzianum. The standard assay mixture contained 5mg of laminarin (Sigma Chemical Co.), 0.1 mg of bovine serum albumin, 50mMof Mcllvaine buffer (pH 4.5), and the enzyme in a total volume of 1.0ml. After incubating at 37°C for 30min, the reducing sugar and glucose released were measured by the Somogyi-Nelson method3'40 and the glucose oxidase method (The Glucose B-Test, Wako Pure Chemical Co., Osaka), respectively.
No Subclass Left Behind: Fine-Grained Robustness in Coarse-Grained Classification Problems

In real-world classification tasks, each class often comprises multiple finer-grained "subclasses. " As the subclass labels are frequently unavailable, models trained using only the coarser-grained class labels often exhibit highly variable performance across different subclasses. This phenomenon, known as hidden stratification, has important consequences for models deployed in safety-critical applications such as medicine. We propose GEORGE, a method to both measure and mitigate hidden stratification even when subclass labels are unknown. We first observe that unlabeled subclasses are often separable in the feature space of deep models, and exploit this fact to estimate subclass labels for the training data via clustering techniques. We then use these approximate subclass labels as a form of noisy supervision in a distributionally robust optimization objective. We theoretically characterize the performance of GEORGE in terms of the worst-case generalization error across any subclass. We empirically validate GEORGE on a mix of real-world and benchmark image classification datasets, and show that our approach boosts worst-case subclass accuracy by up to 22 percentage points compared to standard training techniques, without requiring any information about the subclasses.
Primary nutrient content and its uptake in finger millet (Eleusine coracana) as influenced by different nutrient management and seed priming

A field experiment was conducted in the experimental plots of DKS farm, IGKV, Bhatapara Dist- Baloda Bazaar, Chhattisgarh during kharif season of the year 2019. The soil of the experimental field was Alfisol and climate was sub-humid with a total rainfall of 872.2 mm during the crop growth. The objectives of experiment were to the study the effect of various nutrient management and seed priming treatments on N, P and K content and uptake of finger millet. The experiment was laid out in split-plot design. The treatments constituted with five nutrient management N1 (control), N2 (125 kg Neem cake + 1.25 tons ha-1 vermicompost), N3 (50“Kg/ha N : 50 Kg/ha P2O5 : 50 Kg /ha K2O”and 2% Borax spray at flowering), N4 (125 Kg Neem cake + 1.25 tons ha-1 vermicompost + 50 Kg/ha N : 50 Kg/ha P2O5 : 50 Kg /ha K2O and 2% Borax spray at flowering) and N5 (Recommended dose of fertilizer i.e. 20 Kg/ha N”: 20 Kg/ha P2O5 : 10 Kg /ha K2O) in main plots with four priming treatment P1 (control), P2 (Hydro priming for 6 hrs), P3 (Seed priming with 2% KH2PO4 for 6 hrs) and P4 (Seed priming with 20% liquid Pseudomonas fluorescens) in sub plots. Results revealed that the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium contents in plant tissue were not affected significantly by nutrient management and seed priming treatments. However, the nutrient uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium were found in higher range where either higher doses of chemical fertilizers or the chemical fertilizers in combination with organic manures were applied. No significant effect of seed priming was seen for nutrient uptake of these elements by plants.
Evaluating the land-surface energy partitioning in ERA5

Abstract. Climate reanalyses provide a plethora of global atmospheric and surface parameters in a consistent manner over multi-decadal timescales. Hence, they are widely used in many fields, and an in-depth evaluation of the different variables provided by reanalyses is a necessary means to provide feedback on the quality to their users and the operational centres producing these data sets, and to help guide their development. Recently, the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) released the new state-of-the-art climate reanalysis ERA5, following up on its popular predecessor ERA-Interim. Different sets of variables from ERA5 were already evaluated in a handful of studies, but so far, the quality of land-surface energy partitioning has not been assessed. Here, we evaluate the surface energy partitioning over land in ERA5 and concentrate on the appraisal of the surface latent heat flux, surface sensible heat flux, and Bowen ratio against different reference data sets and using different modelling tools. Most of our analyses point towards a better quality of surface energy partitioning in ERA5 than in ERA-Interim, which may be attributed to a better representation of land-surface processes in ERA5 and certainly to the better quality of near-surface meteorological variables. One of the key shortcomings of the reanalyses identified in our study is the overestimation of the surface latent heat flux over land, which – although substantially lower than in ERA-Interim – still remains in ERA5. Overall, our results indicate the high quality of the surface turbulent fluxes from ERA5 and the general improvement upon ERA-Interim, thereby endorsing the efforts of ECMWF to improve their climate reanalysis and to provide useful data to many scientific and operational fields.
Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern of Extended Spectrum Beta-lactamase (ESBL) and Non ESBL Producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Isolated from Pus Samples from a Tertiary Care Hospital in Bihar

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important opportunistic nosocomial pathogen that causes a variety of infections such as otitis, mastitis, hemorrhagic pneumonia, urinary tract Infections, wound and burn infections in humans (1, 2) . Globally, the urgent problem inpublic health is the increasing resistance to commonly used antibiotics in potentially pathogenic Pseudomonas aeruginosa. ESBL production in P. aeruginosa has been reported previously; and show remarkable resistance to different classes of antibiotics, including penicillins and cephalosporins (3,4) . ESBLs are newer beta-lactamases that confer resistance to some of the latest beta-lactam antibiotics, especially the cephalosporins (2,5) . ESBLs are International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 9 Number 6 (2020) Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas. com
Original papers Biogeographical gradients in galling species richness Tests of hypotheses

Summary. Five hypotheses were invoked to account for variation in galling species number per location on plants of different structural complexity, namely herbs, shrubs, and trees, both in Brazil and USA. The hypotheses were: 1) the altitudinal/latitudinal gradient hypothesis; 2) the harsh environment hypothesis; 3) the plant species richness hypothesis; 4) the host plant area hypothesis; 5) the plant structural complexity hypothesis. The altitudinal and the harsh environment hypotheses were correlated and supported with sample data in both localities, with increasing gall species number as altitude/latitude declined and as sites became hotter and drier. The two hypotheses were separated by studying riparian sites and dry hillside sites at the same elevation in Arizona. Galling species frequency was higher in dry sites than in riparian sites, supporting the harsh environment hypothesis. Of the five hypotheses tested only the harsh environment hypothesis predicted that galling insect species number should vary in response to environmental variables such as moisture and temperature. Temperate shrubs supported more galling species than did other plant types, both in dry and mesic sites. The overall difference between galling species richness for tropical and temperate latitudes was not statistically significant. Freefeeding insect herbivore species exhibited the opposite pattern of species richness to gallers, being more speciose in riparian sites. The present study corroborates the hypothesis that the gall forming habit is an adaptation to harsh or stressful environments, and we describe for the first time broad scale geographical patterns in galling insect species richness.
Factors Associated with Disability and Mortality among Necrotizing Fasciitis Patients in Thailand, 2018

Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a serious skin and soft tissue infection that can lead to disabilities and mortalities. A study was carried out to describe demographic characteristics of NF patients, and determine factors associated with disability and mortality. Information on all patients who were diagnosed as NF from 1 Jan to 31 Dec 2018 were extracted from the databases of Health Data Center in Thailand. Univariate and multivariate analyses using logistic regression were performed to determine the associated factors. In 2018, of total 19,071 NF cases, 6.3% died. Median age was 59.7 years old (Q1-Q3 = 49.1-69.5 years). Most of the cases developed NF at ankle and foot (43.0%), followed by lower leg (28.2%). The amputation rate among the cases was 8.2%. Multivariable analysis showed the significant risk factor for amputation as having diabetes mellitus (adjusted OR 6.81, 95% CI 5.97-7.77). Risk factors for mortality included being elderly (OR 1.81, 95% CI 1.56-2.11), and having hypertension (OR 1.17, 95% CI 1.00-1.36), cirrhosis (OR 4.26, 95% CI 3.42-5.28) or cancer (OR 1.88, 95% CI 1.33-2.59). Morbidity and mortality among NF patients were significant in Thailand. Health workers should be trained for early diagnosis and intensive treatment for NF, especially among elderly and patients with chronic diseases in order to prevent the subsequent complications.
A comparison of methods for defining sociometric status among children

Four of the most commonly used procedures for classifying children into social status groups were compared on such psychometric properties as temporal stability and discriminant validity. The degree of concordance in assigning subjects to status groups by 4 procedures was also examined. Two samples (N=571 and N=548) of boys and girls were followed from Grade 3 to grade 5. The results indicated that the choice of a particular sociometric measure and method depended largely on the researcher's goals, because each system maximized different properties ; however, 2-dimensional systems yielded better behavioral discriminability. The research paradigms in which each system will be most useful are outlined, as well as the consequences of using each system
Investigation of the Physico-Chemical Absorption Characterizations of Jute Polymer Clay Nanocomposites as a Function of Chemical Treatments

In this study, jute polyethylene clay nanocomposites were developed using hot press technique. The hydrophilic nature of fiber and nanoclay exhibited poor interfacial interaction to hydrophobic polymer matrix. In order to enhance the interfacial interaction among fiber, polymer, and nanofillers, the chemically treated jute (with benzenediazonium salt, propionic anhydride, and 3isocyanatopropyltriethoxy silane) and organically modified nanoclay were used for the manufacturing of nanocomposites in this study. The effect of chemical treatments and nanoclay addition on the improvement of absorption characterizations of prepared nanocomposites against water and few chemical reagents have been investigated. It has been observed that the treated jute composites showed higher improvement in absorption properties than raw jute composite and silane treated jute composite found highest value. In addition, nanoclay filled composites showed higher improvement than composite without nanoclay and MMT-1.31PS nanoclay loaded Original Research Article Hossen et al.; IRJPAC, 21(10): 118-130, 2020; Article no.IRJPAC. 58813 119 nanocomposite exhibited highest improvement among five types of MMT nanoclay used in this work. The fabricated nanocomposites were resistant to all chemicals used except carbon tetrachloride.
