Evaluation of The Nutritional Quality of Kuli-kuli (Peanut cake) Produced from Melon seeds and Groundnut.

In the bid to enhance human health and secure food safety as well as public health enlightenment to food, there is the need to evaluate the Nutritional quality of Kuli-kuli from melon seeds. Kuli-kuli which is majorly produced from groundnut is one of the major snacks consumed by most Nigerians especially in the North.The use of melon seeds in the production of Kuli-kuli is not known. Therefore, this research work was carriedout to produce and evaluate the nutrient of Kuli-kuli produced from Melon seeds. Sensory evaluation showed that the Kuli-kuli produced from melon seeds varied in appearance, aroma, texture, taste, and acceptability.
Ion-cyclotron heating and acceleration of solar wind minor ions

The resonant acceleration and heating of solar wind minor ions via interactions with a spectrum of dispersive or nondispersive undamped ion-cyclotron waves are investigated. The principal goal is to determine how the dimensionless parameters of the problem affect the heating and acceleration processes. In addition, simple physical interpretations of the heating and acceleration are given. The exact numerical evaluations of the heating and acceleration rates imply that (1) the total heating rate is roughly proportional to the mass of the ion; (2) dispersive waves should lead to n/sub i/>n/sub a/>n/sub p/, where i refers to ions heavier than He/sup + +/; (3) dispersive waves have a slight tendency to yield partialT/sub i//partialt>(m/sub i//m/sub a/)partialT/sub a//partialt, while non-dispersive waves have a slight tendency to yield partialT/sub i//partialt<(m/sub i//m/sub a/)partialT/sub a//partialt. The predictions of this model are compared with observations and may offer an explanation for some observed properties of minor ions.
A uniqueness result for a singular nonlinear eigenvalue problem

We consider the positive solutions to singular boundary-value problems of the form -\Delta u&=\lambda\frac {f(u)}{u^{\beta}}&\quad&\text{in }\varOmega, \\ u&=0&&\text{on }\partial\varOmega, where λ > 0, β ∈ (0,1) and Ω is a bounded domain in ℝN, N ≥ 1, with smooth boundary ∂Ω. Here, we assume that f: [0, ∞) → (0, ∞) is a C1 non-decreasing function and f(s)/sβ is decreasing for s large. We establish the uniqueness of the positive solution when λ is large.
Classroom Promotion of Oral Language: Outcomes From a Randomized Controlled Trial of a Whole-of-Classroom Intervention to Improve Children’s Reading Achievement

Children need rich language learning experiences in school to build language and reading skills. Research suggests that various effective ways to support teacher provision of these experiences. The Classroom Promotion of Oral Language cluster randomized controlled trial (n = 1,360 students; 687 intervention, 673 control) examined whether a teacher professional learning intervention targeting oral language in the first years of school led to improved student outcomes compared to usual teaching practices. The intervention comprised face-to-face professional learning and ongoing support. The primary outcome was student reading ability at Grade 3; secondary outcomes included oral language, reading, and mental health at Grades 1 and 3. No differences were detected between the intervention and control arms. Implications of results and future directions are explored.
Physiological response of rabbits to organic selenium: Serum metabolites, liver and kidney function tests and hematological indices

An experiment was carried out to evaluate the serum total protein, glucose, liver, kidney and haematological response to varied levels of exogenous L-Selenomethionine (L-SeMet). Twenty four male rabbit bucks, about 10 months old were randomly allotted to four treatments in a completely randomized design. Blood samples were collected at day 21 and day 42 from the bucks and processed for total protein, glucose, haematocrit, haemoglobin, erythrocytes, leukocytes,and leukocyte differential count determination. Serum total protein was significantly (p < 0.05) higher in rabbits administered 0.3 mgkg-1 and 0.4 mgkg-1 at day 21 than those fed 0.2 mgkg-1. However, Glucose, alanine aminotransferase, spartate aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase were not significantly influenced by L-SeMet administration at both days 21 and 42. Blood urea was significantly (p < 0.05) lower in bucks administered 0.4 mgkg-1 L-SeMet comparedto the control. Creatinine and sodium levels in the bucks were also not significantly influenced by L-SeMet. This suggested that exogenous supplementation of L-SeMet did not have adverse effect on the physiological processes of the rabbit bucks. Increased serum total protein observed in the experimental animals could be attributed to L-SeMet administration to the rabbit bucks which probably enhanced dietary protein utilization and/or protein synthesis.
Tool Wear and Surface Roughness in Turning of Metal Matrix Composite Built of Al2O3 Sinter Saturated by Aluminum Alloy in Vacuum Condition

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are a special class of materials carrying combined properties that belongs to alloys and metals according to market demands. Therefore, they are used in different areas of industry, and the properties of this type of material are useful in engineering applications. Machining of such composites is of great importance to finalize the fabrication process with improved part quality. However, the process implies several challenges due to the complexity of the cutting processes and random material structure. The current study aims to examine machinability characteristics. Effects of turning a metal matrix composite built of Al2O3 sinter, saturated with an EN AC-44000 AC-AlSi11 alloy, are presented in this paper. In the present study, a turning process of new metal matrix composites was carried out to determine the state-of-the-art material for various engineering applications. During the turning process, the cutting forces, a tool’s wear, and surface roughness were investigated. Further, the SEM (scanning electron microscope) analysis of cutting inserts was performed. The influence of MMC structure on the machining process and surface roughness was studied. The Al2O3 reinforcements were used in different graininess. Effects of conventional turning of the metal matrix composite with Al2O3 sinter of FEPA (Federation of European Producers of Abrasives) 046 and FEPA 100 grade were compared. Results analysis of these tests showed the necessity of continuing research on turning metal matrix composites built of an AlSi alloy and Al2O3 ceramic reinforcement. The study showed the properties of MMCs that influenced machinability. In this paper, the influence of feed rate’s value on surface roughness was carried out. The significant tool wear during the turning of the MMC was proved.
Diffusion in Fisher's population model

We consider Fisher's selection model for a single locus with n alleles. The population is distributed in a spatial domain, migration is represented by a diffusion term. For the resulting parabolic system with zero flux boundary conditions we show that if the selection model has a stable polymorphism, then every solution of the parabolic system converges to a spatially homogeneous stationary solution. If initially all genes are present in the population, then this solution is the polymorphism. The results carry over to some types of convolution equations. Diffusion in Fisher's population model. We consider the well-known Fisher-Wright-Haldane model of population genetics for n alleles ah a2, . , an, where Pj is the frequency of they-th allele, nak. We assume continuous time, i.e., overlapping generations.

The last reference contains an account of the earlier literature and more detailed results. We prefer to use a condensed notation. Let F = (fJk) be the matrix of viabilities and p = (pj) the column vector of frequencies. Furthermore define the diagonal matrix P = (PjoJk). Always 0* (transpose) is the row vector corresponding to the column vector a, in particular e* = ( 1 , . . . , 1). Then a*b is a scalar product, ba* is a dyad, and a*Fa is a quadratic form. With this notation equations (1) read (2) p = PFp — p*Fp • p. We consider the population distributed in a bounded spatial domain Q of R with smooth (say C) boundary and describe migration and reproductive interaction of neighboring individuals by a diffusion term (3) pt = PFp p*Fp p + Ap.

This study was performed to examine molecular docking of newly synthesised thiazolidinone compounds and discover potential InhA inhibitors. MIC screening produced thiazolidinone derivatives for Staphylococcus aureus illness. KBr pellet FT-IR spectra were collected on a Thermo Nicolet AVATAR-330 spectrometer. Bruker obtained 400 MHz 1H spectra of all chemicals in DMSO-d6. Five 4 thiazolidinone derivatives:4-(4-oxo-2-phenylthiazolidin-3yl)amino)benzyl)oxazolidin-2-one(8), ((2-(4 chlorophenyl)-4oxothiazolidin-3yl)amino)benzyl)- oxazolidin-2-one(9), ((2-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-oxothiazolidin-3 yl)amino)benzyl)oxazolidin-2-one(10), 4-(4-((4-oxo2-(p-tolyl)thiazolidin-3yl)amino)benzyl)oxazolidin-2-one(11) and 4-(4-((2-(4 methoxyphenyl)-4-oxothiazolidin3yl)amino)benzyl)oxazolidin-2-one(12) docked due to its vast biological usefulness. Molecular docking, ADMET, TOPKAT Toxicity, and molecular dynamic simulation were used to estimate drug-likeness for 1QG6. MIC screening of synthesised thiazolidinone derivatives against Staphylococcus aureus through disc diffusion. Molecular docking studies examining the inhibitory effect of produced substances suggest testing for MIC antibacterial activity. Compound 12's antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus is compared to Ampicillin and Cefixime. Compound 12 is utilised as an alternate medication for Staphylococcus aureus
A model for conductor failure considering diffusion concurrently with electromigration resulting in a current exponent of 2

A model was constructed for electromigration failure where both Fickian diffusion and mass transport due to the electromigration driving force are considered concurrently. The solution to the resulting diffusion equation yields a current exponent of 2 and an activation energy consistent with grain‐boundary self‐diffusion. A modification of the standard median time to failure equation first proposed by Black is suggested.
OPTIMAL IV ESTIMATION OF SYSTEMS WITH STOCHASTIC REGRESSORS AND VAR DISTURBANCES WITH APPLICATIONS TO DYNAMIC SYSTEMS

This paper considers the general problem of Feasible Generalized Least Squares Instrumental Variables (FGLS IV) estimation using optimal instruments. First we summarize the sufficient conditions for the FGLS IV estimator to be asymptotically equivalent to an optimal GLS IV estimator. Then we specialize to stationary dynamic systems with stationary VAR errors, and use the sufficient conditions to derive new moment conditions for these models. These moment conditions produce useful IVs from the lagged endogenous variables, despite the correlation between errors and endogenous variables. This use of the information contained in the lagged endogenous variables expands the class of IV estimators under consideration and thereby potentially improves both asymptotic and small-sample efficiency of the optimal IV estimator in the class. Some Monte Carlo experiments compare the new methods with those of Hatanaka (1976). For the DGP used in the Monte Carlo experiments, asymptotic efficiency is strictly improved by the new IVs, and experimental small-sample efficiency is improved as well.
A simple model of universe describing the early inflation and the late accelerated expansion in a symmetric manner

We construct a simple model of universe which "unifies" vacuum energy and radiation on the one hand, and matter and dark energy on the other hand in the spirit of a generalized Chaplygin gas model. Specifically, the phases of early inflation and late accelerated expansion are described by a generalized equation of state p/c2 = αρ+kρ1+1/n having a linear component p = αρc2 and a polytropic component p = kρ1+1/nc2. For α = 1/3, n = 1 and k = −4/(3ρP), where ρP = 5.161099 g/m3 is the Planck density, this equation of state describes the transition between the vacuum energy era and the radiation era. For t ≥ 0, the universe undergoes an inflationary expansion that brings it from the Planck size lP = 1.6210−35 m to a size a1 = 2.6110−6 m on a timescale of about 23.3 Planck times tP = 5.3910−44 s (early inflation). When t > t1 = 23.3tP, the universe decelerates and enters in the radiation era. We interpret the transition from the vacuum energy era to the radiation era as a second order phase transition where the.
Low-frequency oscillations of the large-scale stratospheric temperature field

Abstract Low-frequency analyses are reported for four years of 3-day-mean satellite microwave and infrared data representative of temperatures in the stratosphere. In data representative of 30–150 mb temperatures oscillations with 39–51 day periods are observed as a tropical dipole pattern in the Indonesia/central Pacific. In addition, the first evidence is presented for such oscillations in the southeast Pacific. Furthermore, significant 39–51 day oscillations are observed in the mid- and upper stratosphere, centered near 60°S latitude.
The Intervening Role of Communication Satisfaction and Trust in Leader on the relationship between Leadership Communication and Employee Turnover Intention in Sichuan, China

In 2016, the Society for Human Resource Management reported that 46 percent of HR managers cited employee turnover as their top concern. The cost of replacing staff will be more than 200% of the annual salary. This phenomenon is particularly evident in micro-enterprises. Previous studies have reported job satisfaction, work-life balance, organizational fairness, job stress, organizational culture, salary, and the relationship between factors such as the organization's willingness to leave the company. However, there is a lack of research on the influence of leadership communication on turnover intention in previous studies. This research aims to examine the relationship between leadership communication and turnover intention in micro-enterprise in Sichuan province, China. Partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM) is used to test the relationship between them, and leaders' trust and communication satisfaction were included to explain. This study will provide theoretical and evidence support for micro-enterprise owners, reduce their operating costs, and improve their performance. In addition, this study has contributed to developing the leader-member exchange theory and interpersonal communication theory.
Uncertainty evaluation for estimates from recursive projection algorithms

In this paper we consider parameter estimation of linear systems described by y i = a i T θ + e i , where the ith measurement y i is linearly dependent on the parameter vector θ ∈ R p through the regressor vector a i T ∈ R p and the measurement error e i is unknown but bounded. Some properties of previously presented algorithms for recursive parameter identification in the unknown but bounded error (UBBE) context are discussed. In particular it is analysed how different levels of information on the error structure can influence the choice of the identification algorithms and the possibility of evaluating the reliability of the estimates. Attention is also focused on the influence that forgetting schemes have on the estimates and on their confidence evaluation
Rainy-Season Duration Estimated from OLR versus Rain Gauge Data and the 2001 Drought in Southeast Brazil

Large precipitation deficits observed during the 2001 austral summer over the southeast region of Brazil contributed to the worsening of the energy crisis that was occurring in the country, with unprecedented social and economic consequences. Reliable information on the beginning of the rainy season was essential for the Brazilian government to manage the energy crisis. The purpose of this study is to determine the rainy season in this region and to point out the risk of using outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) data to estimate the beginning of it. The results show that when OLR data are used the beginning and the end dates of the rainy season are wrongly anticipated and delayed, respectively. The present study aims to provide useful information for the management of the impact of adverse climate conditions such as the one in 2001 by basing the analysis on rainfall data instead of on OLR.
PHOTODISSOCIATION OF CN

CN rovibrational photodissociation cross sections have been computed using ab initio derived potential curves and dipole transition moment functions adjusted to match asymptotic experimental constraints where available. Here, we report results for the electronic transitions 2Σ+(4) ← X 2Σ+, 2Σ+(5) ← X 2Σ+, 2Π(4) ← X 2Σ+, and 2Π(5) ← X 2Σ+. Partial cross sections for transitions from all 5581 rovibrational levels theoretically obtained for the ground electronic state X 2Σ+ were computed for a wavelength range that extends from 500 Å to the dissociation threshold for each particular rovibrational state. Cross sections assuming a thermal Boltzmann distribution of rovibrational levels for gas temperatures between 500 to 5000 K are also obtained. Applications of the results to ultraviolet irradiated environments are discussed.
Biochemical Performance of Cirrhinus cirrhosus Fingerlings after Soya Chunk and Almond Supplementation

The purpose of the study was to investigate how Cirrhinus cirrhosus fingerlings responded biochemically to the addition of soy chunks and almonds. Fish were divided into four groups-- Group I served as the control group, Group II was given the 1% soya chunk diet I, Group III was given the 1% almond diet II, and Group IV was given the 1% combined diet (1: 1 ratio of Diet I and Diet II). Overall, it can be said that providing Cirrhinus cirrhosus with Soya Chunk, Almond, or Soya Chunk + Almond supplements has a considerable impact on the species' biochemical makeup and growth performance. Dietary benefits are directly correlated with the length of supplementation. In comparison to control, other diets, and 15 days of diet supplementation, the combined diet (Soya Chunk + Almond) had a significant impact on growth performance and biochemical composition at 30 days of supplementation. The findings of this study indicated that the optimal nutritional supplements for fingerling Cirrhinus cirrhosus is a mixed diet.
The Influence of Carbides on Atomic-Scale Mechanical Properties of Carbon Steel: A Molecular Dynamics Study

Pearlite is an important structure in carbon steel; however, the influence mechanism of carbides in pearlite on its mechanical properties and microstructure evolution has not yet been fully elucidated. In this work, a ferrite–carbide composite model with various carbide types was constructed to investigate the influence of carbide types via a uniaxial compression deformation using classical molecular dynamics simulations. It was found that the carbide type had little effect on the compressive elastic modulus, but a more obvious effect on the yield strain, yield stress, and flow stress. The maximum compressive elastic modulus was in the Fe2C model, with 300.32 GPa, while the minimum was found in the Fe4C model at 285.16 GPa; the error was 5.32%. There were significant differences in the yield stress, yield strain, and flow stress of the ferrite–carbide model according to the stress–strain curve. Secondly, the type of carbide used affected its elastic constant, especially the bulk modulus and Cauchy pressure. The maximum bulk modulus of the Fe4C model was 199.01 GPa, the minimum value of the Fe3C model was 146.03 GPa, and the difference was 52.98 GPa. The Cauchy pressure calculation results were consistent with the yield strain trend. Additionally, the effective elastic moduli of the composite system were used to verify the accuracy of the calculation results of this work. Thirdly, ferrite–carbide interfaces could act as a resource for dislocation emission. The initial stacking fault forms at ferrite–carbide interfaces and expands into ferrite. The dislocation type and segment in the ferrite–carbide model were significantly different due to the type of carbide used.
Macroeconomic Determinants of Banks’ performance in Pakistan

Asteroseismological bound on Ġ / G from pulsating white dwarfs

We study the secular variation of the period of nonradial pulsations of white dwarfs when a temporal dependence of the gravitational constant G is assumed. We consider models that reproduce accurately the main characteristics of the best studied DA (hydrogen-rich atmosphere) white dwarf G117-B15A. For this object it has been possible to measure the secular variation of the main observed period of 215.2 s $(\mathrm{P\ifmmode \dot{}\else \.{}\fi{}}=2.3\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}1.4\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}15}{\mathrm{s}}^{\ensuremath{-}1})$ with unprecedented accuracy. Comparing our models with observations we obtain that for $\ifmmode \dot{G}\else \. {G}\fi{}l0$ the allowed values are in the range $\ensuremath{-}2.5\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}10}{\mathrm{yr}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}\ensuremath{\lesssim}\ifmmode \dot{G}\else \. {G}\fi{}/G\ensuremath{\lesssim}0,$ whereas, for $\ifmmode \dot{G}\else \. {G}\fi{}g0,$ the allowed values are $0\ensuremath{\lesssim}\ifmmode \dot{G}\else \. {G}\fi{}/G\ensuremath{\lesssim}4.0\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}11}{\mathrm{yr}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ at the $2\ensuremath{\sigma}$ confidence level, which are comparable to other bounds established by independent methods. We also show that in order to improve this bound significantly an improvement in the precision of the observed change in $\mathrm{P\ifmmode \dot{}\else \. {}\fi{}}$ which is too large to be reached in the foreseeable future is required.
