Upper Thermal Limits and Thermal Preferenda for Three Sympatric Species of Anolis

Three species of south Florida anoles, Anolis carolinensis, A. distichus, and A. sagrei, can be grouped on a phylogenetic basis with carolinensis and distichus in one group and sagrei in another. They can also be grouped ecologically with carolinensis and sagrei in a group and distichus in the other. Mean preferred temperatures were determined for all 3 species. A. sagrei (33.3 C) and carolinensis (34.0 C) were found to be similar, and both were significantly different from distichus (31.0 C). Critical thermal maxima were determined for all three species. As with mean preferred temperatures, distichus was significantly different from sagrei and caro- linensis, while the latter two were not significantly different from each other. Both thermal char- acteristics are influenced more by ecology than by phylogeny. CTM shifted with a 10 C shift in temperature of previous acclimation. With animals acclimated at 20 C and 30 C, the shifts were from 38.6 C to 40.6 C for distichus, from 40.8 C to 41.9 C for carolinensis, and from 40.5 C to 41.9 C for sagrei. CTM is a better thermal character than MPT for interspecific comparisons, be- cause of the lack of behavioral modification and the known effect of acclimation.

Varietal Difference in the Relationship between the Number of Panicles per Hill and the Number of Spikelets per Panicle on the Main Stems and on Primary and Secondary Tillers of Rice

Varietal differences in the number of panicles per hill and in the relationship between the number of spikelets per hill and the number of spikelets per panicle on each order tiller in the rice plant were investigated. The number of panicles per hill among the rice varieties studied ranged from 18 to 30. Although this difference was due to the number of panicles on the primary and secondary tillers, it was more greatly influenced by the latter. No significant relationship was observed statistically between the number of panicles per hill and the total number of spikelets per hill. However, the number of panicles per hill showed a significant negative correlation with the number of spikelets per panicle on each tiller and also with the average number of spikelets per panicle on the hill. The slope of the regression line for the relationship of the number of spikelets per panicle on each order tiller to the number of panicles per hill was in the following order : main stem < primary tiller < secondary tiller. The varieties with a larger number of panicles per hill showed smaller differences in the number of spikelets per panicle among each tiller. The number of spikelets on the main stems showed a significant positive correlation with the number of spikelets per panicle on the primary and secondary tillers. Thus the varieties that had larger numbers of spikelets on the main stems also had large numbers of spikelets per panicle on the primary and secondary tillers.

Aero-elastic analysis of composite plate swept wings using the finite element method

A Finite Element Model (FEM) is developed for examining the aero-elastic stability of composite plate wings. The FE method coupled with the vortex lattice method has been applied to calculate the wing divergence speed, and coupled with the doublet lattice method to predict wing flutter. The effect of the composite layup is integrated into the FEM. The coupling between the aerodynamic and structural analyses has been expressed in terms of the shape functions of the FEM. The plate wing structure has been divided into linear triangular elements, each of which has five degrees of freedom at each node, and taking into consideration the fiber orientation angles of the composite laminate. A MATLAB code has been developed and validated by comparing the results with those of other publications. The effect of different laminate configuration on the aero-elastic characteristics of both the straight and swept-back wings is investigated.
Molecular or Biology Mechanism of Zeaxanthin and Lutein from Corn Gluten Meal to Inhibit Human Oral Cell Cancer Proliferation

This study was designed to assay whether the carotenoids-lutein and zeaxanthin extracts from corn gluten meal could induce the oral cavity cancer KB cell apoptosis and illustrate the possible molecular or biology mechanism. This paper adopted single-cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE),DNA electrophoresis and flow cytometric (FCM) technique to observe the apoptosis of the cell line KB under the influence of lutein and zeaxanthin. After cells were treated with the medium containing 40 and 60μmol/L lutein or 30 and 40μmol/L zeaxanthin for 48 and 72h respectively, many cardinal apoptosis features were observed: single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) and DNA electrophoresis assay displayed that lutein and zeaxanthin could induce the breakage of DNA strand of KB cell; While cell cycle analysised by FCM revealed selectively the block cell cycle progression from G1 phase to S phase; and in comparison with the blank group, the expression of bcl-2 gene was low, while that of the p53 and bax genes was high. This paper suggested that the carotenoids-lutein and zeaxanthin existed corn gluten meal has the potential function of induce KB cells apoptosis.
Control System Synthesis : A Factorization Approach

This book introduces the so-called "stable factorization approach" to the synthesis of feedback controllers for linear control systems. The key to this approach is to view the multi-input, multi-output (MIMO) plant for which one wishes to design a controller as a matrix over the fraction field F associated with a commutative ring with identity, denoted by R, which also has no divisors of zero. In this setting, the set of single-input, single-output (SISO) stable control systems is precisely the ring R, while the set of stable MIMO control systems is the set of matrices whose elements all belong to R. The set of unstable, meaning not necessarily stable, control systems is then taken to be the field of fractions F associated with R in the SISO case, and the set of matrices with elements in F in the MIMO case. The central notion introduced in the book is that, in most situations of practical interest, every matrix P whose elements belong to F can be "factored" as a "ratio" of two matrices N,D whose elements belong to R, in such a way that N,D are coprime. In the familiar case where the ring R corresponds to the set of bounded-input, bounded-output (BIBO)-stable rational transfer functions, coprimeness is equivalent to two functions not having any common zeros in the closed right half-plane including infinity. However, the notion of coprimeness extends readily to discrete-time systems, distributed-parameter systems in both the continuous- as well as discrete-time domains, and to multi-dimensional systems. Thus the stable factorization approach enables one to capture all these situations within a common framework. The key result in the stable factorization approach is the parametrization of all controllers that stabilize a given plant. It is shown that the set of all stabilizing controllers can be parametrized by a single parameter R, whose elements all belong to R. Moreover, every transfer matrix in the closed-loop system is an affine function of the design parameter R. Thus problems of reliable stabilization, disturbance rejection, robust stabilization etc. can all be formulated in terms of choosing an appropriate R. This is a reprint of the book Control System Synthesis: A Factorization Approach originally published by M.I. T. Press in 1985.

Impact of Periodontal Health Status as Assessed by ModifiedCommunity Periodontal Index on Oral Health Related Quality of Life -A Hospital Based Cross Sectional Study

Background: Health care delivery systems across the world consider health as a state of complete physical, social and mental wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Health related quality of life (HRQoL) is conceived as a human notion that is a reflection of the degree of satisfaction found in one’s family and social life. Periodontal diseases, second most prevalent of all oral diseases, cause a wide range of clinical signs and symptoms, some of which can have a considerable impact on oral health related quality of life (QoL). Method: This hospital based cross-sectional study was conducted in 324 subjects with periodontal diseases to assess the influence of periodontal status and the impact of severity of periodontitis on OHRQoL. Impact of periodontal disease on quality of life was assessed using the Oral Health Impact Profile Questionnaire 14(OHIP-14). Periodontal health status was assessed using modified Community Periodontal Index. In order to assess the impact of severity of periodontal disease on OHRQoL, the study subjects were categorized into two groups (No/Mild periodontitis group and Moderate/Severe periodontitis group). Results: Subjects with moderate/severe periodontitis had a negative influence on their OHRQoL when compared with no/mild periodontitis group. Subjects with moderate/severe periodontitis had significant difficulty in pronouncing words, poor taste sensation, become self-conscious, felt tensed, diet became unsatisfactory, felt difficult to relax, embarrassed, irritable, felt life less satisfying and unable to function (Questions a, b, e, f, g, i, j, k, l, m and n). These results, being a patient related outcome measure, clearly denote the response of the subjects with the signs and symptoms of periodontal disease to their OHRQoL. Conclusion: Presence of moderate and severe periodontitis, had a significant impact on the quality of life.
THE INFLUENCE OF VEGETATION REMOVAL BY WESTERN HARVESTER ANTS (POGONOMYRMEX OWYHEEI) IN A RELICT AREA OF SAGEBRUSH-STEPPE IN CENTRAL OREGON

-We examined the influence of western harvester ants (Pogonomyrmex owyheei) as vegetation removers in a relict area of semiarid vegetation in central Oregon on The Island Research Natural Area (IRNA). Because IRNA is an almost inaccessible basaltic plateau that has been free of livestock grazing and other significant anthropogenic influences for over 70 years, it serves as an excellent natural laboratory for examining the effects of P owyheei as vegetation removers. Pogonomyrmex owyheei are able to remove plant cover around their nest sites. However, opportunities to study P owyheei in undisturbed areas of the semiarid west are rare. We randomly selected 30 active ant nest sites on IRNA and sampled the vegetation around these nests using line-intercept transects. Comparisons of mean vegetation cover between P owyheei nest site transects and a reference group of nonnest site transects show a significant reduction in total cover on the nest site transects, but no significant difference in total cover when the cleared disc areas on the P owyheei transects are excluded. Our results suggest that vegetation removal by P owyheei reduced the cover of some species (e.g., Artemisia tridentata) and, indirectly, increased the cover of other species (e.g., Stipa thurberiana). We also found significant increases in vegetation cover on the perimeter of the cleared areas surrounding the nest site, a phenomenon described as the "border effect. " With an estimated density of 28 ant nests per hectare, and a mean cleared area per nest site of 5.9 m2, P owyheei is an important source of vegetation removal on IRNA.
Effect of Micro-Nutrients Foliar Application on Yield and Quality Traits of some Canola Genotypes Under Different Environmental Conditions تأثیر الرش الورقی بالعناصر الصغرى علی انتاجیة وجودة محصول بعض التراکیب الوراثیة من الکانولا تحت ظروف بیئیة مختلفة

In order to evaluate some canola genotypes performance to micro-nutrient foliar spraying. Four field experiments in two different soil types i.e. clayey (S1) and loamy sand (S2) at two experimental farms, Faculty of Agriculture, Fayoum University, Egypt in the winter season of 2017/18 (Y1) and 2018/19 (Y2). Six canola genotypes i.e., G1 (35/9), G2 (26/18), G3 (Duplo), G4 (Drakkar), G5 (Hanna) and G6 (Serow4) and three micro-nutrient rates were studied. The Y1 has higher significant values of plant height, pods dry weight, seed, oil and protein yields, Mn, Fe and Zn seed content. The S1 significantlyexceeded S2 for most studied traits. The G1 (35/9)line followed by G6 (Serow4) variety recorded significantly the highest values of most growth traits, seed yield and its components as well as seed content of Mn, Fe, Zn, oil and protein. Foliar application of micro-nutrients by the highest rate significantly surpassed tap water (control) for all studied traits. The correlation coefficients showed that the seed, oil, and protein yields have significantly positively correlated with most studied traits. There are three traits, i.e. pods dry weight plant-1, plant height and number of pods plant-1 were significantly (P≤ 0.001) participated in variation in seed yield ha-1. The Results suggested that the G1 line could be promising genotype, have a stable yield in the various environments (years and soil types) and more responsive to micro-nutrients nutrition under different environmental conditions.
Effect of cooking on nutritional and antinutritional components of quinoa incorporated products

Present study was undertaken with an objective to evaluate traditional products prepared by incorporating quinoa under different cooking methods such as boiling (quinoa upma and quinoa kesaribath) roasting (quinoa laddu and quinoa chikki) and frying (quinoa chakli and nippattu). In case of boiling (60% quinoa and 40% wheat semolina) and in roasting the ratio consisting of 60% quinoa along with other ingredients (40% besan flour for laddu and 40% groundnut for chikki) were found to be acceptable in sensory quality. While in case of frying, the ratio consisting of 50% quinoa flour+50% rice flour was found to be acceptable. Results showed that protein and fat content were significantly more (P>0.05) in roasted products (quinoaladdu and quinoachikki) followed by fried products (quinoachakli and quinoanippattu) when compared to boiled products (quinoa upma and quinoa kesaribath). Even the minerals such as calcium (100.6, 110.9%) and iron (6.46, 8.23%) were significantly more in roasted products such as quinoaladdu (6.46%) and quinoachikki (8.23%) respectively as compared to other methods of cooking. While, the antinutritional factors such as phytic acid (2.32and2.08%), tannin (1.32 and 1.65%) and saponin (0.41and 0.4%) content were significantly reducedin upma and kesari bath respectively when compared to other method of cooking. Among quinoa incorporated products quinoa upma and quinoa kesaribath were highly acceptable (82-84% and 83-85%) followed by roasted (77-81% and 76-79%) and fried products (60-70 and 60-66%).
Effect of wood chips maturation on wild apricot fruit (Prunus armeniaca L.) mead

Honey fermented alcoholic drink is called as mead. The present study was conducted to prepare functionally enriched mead by ameliorate the wild apricot fruit pulp with honey. TSS content of the wild apricot must was raised by addition of honey to 22°B, 24°B and 26°B. Wild apricot mead prepared from initial TSS 26oB found to containe more reducing sugars, TSS, total esters, higher alcohols and ethanol content. After completion of fermentation, mead was matured to six months with wood chips of Quercus, Bombax and Acacia and evaluated for various functional properties. All the three wood chips treated wines were higher in total phenols, total esters, total caroteniods and low in titratable acidity and ethanol content than the control. Quercus treated wine was rated superior to others due to higher total esters, total phenols and reduced acidity. Acacia treated wine reduced the quantity of higher alcohols, whereas, Bombax was found highest in higher alcohols. The change in the concentration of these components during maturation improved the flavour of all the wines treated with wood chips. Out of three wood chips, Quercus treated wine was preferred to by the judges, followed by Bombax and then Acacia.
The genetic polymorphisms of three kinds of glutathione S-transferases in Chinese Han population

Objective In this paper, the distribution of glutathione S transferases (GSTs) gene polymorphism in Chinese Han people was reported. Methods Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood and the genotypes of GSTM1 and GSTT1 gene polymorphisms were analyzed by multiplex allele specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 450 Chinese Han people, and the A G mutation at +313 locus of GSTP1 gene was tested by PCR restricted fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). Results In this study population, The frequencies of GSTM1 null and GSTT1 null genotypes were 57% and 49%, respectively and the frequency of the individuals with combination of GSTM1 null and GSTT1 null genotype was 28 92% The frequency of mutated allele at +313 locus of GSTP1 was 18 7% and that of the combination of those three risk genotypes of GSTs (GSTM1 null, GSTT1 null and GSTP1A/A) was 18 04% There is no significant difference in GSTs gene polymorphism between males and females and between three age groups. Conclusion Distribution of the GSTM1, GSTT1 and GSTP1 genes are polymorphic in Chinese Han people and different from those in Caucasian and Black population
Comparative physiological and biochemical mechanisms in Di, Tri, and 1 Tetraploid Watermelon ( Citrullus lanatus L.) grafted by Branches 2

11 Polyploid seeds production is laborious, complicated, and costly work. Tetraploid and 12 triploid plants produce a fewer number of seeds/fruit, and triploid embryos are fairly 13 weak, covered with a more hardened seed coat as compared to diploid seeds. Here we 14 investigated the interactive effect of new grafting technique of polyploid watermelon 15 scion onto rootstock on plants' survival rate, biochemical, and hormones contents. In 16 this study, three different branches, apical meristem (AM), branch with 1 node (1N), 17 and 2 nodes (2N) from di, Tri, and tetraploid watermelon plants, were used as scion and 18 grafted onto squash rootstock. The results showed highly significant differences 19 between polypoid watermelon when 1N using as a scion, tetraploid showed maximum 20 survival rates, higher contents of hormones, and antioxidants (AOX) activities, 21 compared to diploid, these may be the possible reasons for high compatibility in 22 tetraploid and degrading the grafting zone in diploid. RTq-PCR results confirm that the 23 expression of genes linked to compatibility is consistent with the hormonal and AOX 24 activities. This study provides an alternative and economical approach to produce more 25 tetraploid and triploid plants for breeding or seeds production by using branches as 26 scions. 27 The results showed that, the starch in Tri and Tetra highly significant than di, where it at 0 DAG were and in Tri and Tetra higher than Di in the first season, while in the second season, no significant differences between polyploidy levels. Also, the contents of starch start at 15 DAG in all polyploids, but the increment rates at Tri and Tetra were more than Di 9.68, 14.09, and 16.58% at the first season in Di, Tri, and Tetra watermelon, respectively.
