Language Geography Based Communication Medium Using Geographic Information System

: We travel across various places for personal or professional reasons and encounter many challenges. One of the major challenges would be to communicate with the local people at the destination city. The traveler may not know the cultural background of the area or the language is spoken in that area. The aim of the paper is to track the location of the user and identify the majorly spoken languages at that specific region/location and aid to communicate through translation by means of text-to-speech and back in speech-to-text in a specific language of the target area. Using Geographic Information System (GIS) services, track the location and get the majorly spoken languages. The user gets to choose one of the target languages and communicate. To communicate with the native people, the user types the text in English and it gets translated to native chosen language, the result is in the form of text/ speech. The user successfully communicates with native people in their own language without prior knowledge. This can be used by frequent travelers and during emergency situations to communicate across various countries or states.
Trifolium ambiguum (Caucasian clover) in montane tussock grasslands, south island, New Zealand

Abstract A field experiment was conducted at nine montane tussock grassland sites forming toposequences of soil temperature, moisture, and fertility in the southern Mackenzie Basin, South Island, to characterise the adaptational range and development dynamics of the above‐ and below‐ground growth of Trifolium ambiguum cv. Endura under different defoliation treatments over a two‐year period. Successful establishment, high productivity, and survival occurred on lower slopes and mid‐altitude north‐facing slopes, but this cultivar appears unsuited to mid‐altitude, shady aspects with dense Agrostis capillaris cover, and at higher elevation, tall‐tussock sites. Plant growth in the establishment year was mostly confined to primary crown and taproot/fibrous root growth, although early rhizome development occurred in plants on the lower sunny slopes. In the second year, growth was characterised by crown and rhizome shoots during spring and summer and by the expansion of the below‐ground rhizome/root components in .
Echolocation signal design in Kerivoulinae and Murininae (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) from Malaysia

Echolocation signal design in nine syntopic vespertilionid bats from the Malaysian rain forest understorey was studied. Four species of Kerivoula , two species of Phoniscus (Kerivoulinae) and three species of Murina (Murininae) all emitted calls that are typical of species that glean insects from surfaces: broadband, frequency-modulated (FM) calls of low intensity and short duration. However, calls were highly distinctive in the use of very large bandwidths (range: 89–123 kHz) and extremely high frequencies (start frequency 152–180 kHz; end frequency 43–86 kHz). Furthermore, calls were produced in groups of 2–15 at very high pulse repetition rates (37–105 Hz). The functional significance of these characteristics with respect to foraging strategy is discussed. Large signal bandwidths facilitate highly accurate target localization in terms of both range and angle estimation and can thus be interpreted as an adaptation to foraging in the highly cluttered environment of the forest understorey. The use of high frequencies so far in excess of those seen in other FM gleaning bats of the same size is less easily explained, but may represent a mechanism by which these species distinguish prey items using echolocation alone, without recourse to visual or auditory cues. Species exhibited differences in echolocation parameters, particularly the end frequency and the number of calls per group of calls. The two subfamilies differed from each other in multivariate space derived from echolocation parameters; calls of the Murininae were of lower frequency than the Kerivoulinae and were typically produced in smaller groups or singly. Within the subfamilies there was considerable overlap between species of Murina , but the Kerivoula spp. were clearly distinct from one another but not from the two Phoniscus spp.
Gut-homing (α4β7+) Th1 memory responses after inactivated poliovirus immunization in poliovirus orally pre-immunized donors

Mucosal infections are prevented by a specialized local immune system. Immune cells of this compartment can also be found in the blood and are characterized by the expression of mucosa-specific homing molecules. Here, the cellular immune responses after inactivated poliovirus immunization (IPV) in poliovirus orally pre-immunized donors were investigated. Subcutaneous IPV induced a transient increase in the proliferative response against poliovirus antigen and in the number of poliovirus-specific CD4+ T cells in the blood of the vaccinees. These cells were characterized to be of the effector memory type (CD45RA−/CD45RO+/CCR7−/CD27+) and expressed the homing molecule α 4 β 7, indicating their origin from the gut. Together these data show the recurrence of gut-derived poliovirus-specific cells upon IPV and evaluate the whole-blood assay as a powerful tool for monitoring the success of a vaccination.
Yield And Yield Components Of Spring Canola Cultivars As Influence By Different Planting Seasons (Brassica Napus L.)

The aim to research of yield and components yield of spring canola cultivars in different planting Seasons(autumn and spring), an experimental was carried out in a split plot design based on RCBD with four replications for two years (2004-2006) in Karaj. Treatments were included planting season in two levels as main plots such as common planting date, autumn planting (27 September) and spring planting (25 March) and spring rapeseed varieties as sub plots in 24 levels. The results indicated that simple effects of planting season and variety and also interaction effect on grain per pod, seed yield, oil yield and biological yield were significant(P<0.01). In autumn planting, Hyola 401 had the highest seed yield (4689 kg.ha) and Hyola 330 produced the maximum oil yield (2165 kg.ha), whereas RG 405.03 had the maximum seed yield and oil yield (2066 and 713.6 kg.ha, respectively) in spring planting.
Die Extraktstoffe von Riesengras (Miscanthus sinensis Anderss.). Ein Vergleich der sommergrünen und der wintertrockenen Pflanze

Die Extraktstoffe von im Sommer geerntetem Miscanthus sinensis Anderss. wurden durch sukzessive Extraktion mit Lösungsmitteln steigender Polarität isoliert. Die Mengen der Extraktfraktionen wurden mit denen von im Winter geernteten Pflanzen verglichen. Im Sommer treten deutlich höhere Mengen an lipophilen und an polaren Extrakten auf. Analysen der Extraktbestandteile zeigten, daß der höhere Extraktgehalt des sommergrünen Grases hauptsächlich durch höhere Gehalte an Fettsäureestern (Glyceride und andere) und an Saccharose, Glucose und Fructose verursacht wird. In den Blättern finden sich deutlich höhere Mengen an Fettsäureestern und anderen Lipiden als in den Stengeln, während in den Stengeln höhere Gehalte an löslichen Zuckern gefunden wurden.
DiSCERN: Distilling Standard-Cells for Emerging Reconfigurable Nanotechnologies

Recent attempts on circuits based on emerging reconfigurable nanotechnologies have primarily focused on using the traditional CMOS design flow involving similar-styled standard-cells. In the present work, we show that logic gates which implement self-dual functions can be efficiently implemented using reconfigurable nanotechnologies. We propose an algorithm which analyses the truth-tables of cuts in a mapped circuit to list all such potential reconfigurable logic gates for a particular circuit. Technology mapping with these new logic gates (or standard-cells) leads to a better mapping in terms of area and delay. Experiments employing our methodology over EPFL benchmarks, show average improvements of around 13%, 16% and 11.5% in terms of area, number of edges and delay respectively as compared to the conventional CMOS-centric standard-cell based mapping.
Serotype distribution of plasmid-encoded virulence profiles, and identification of espP and subAB alleles in verotoxigenic Escherichia coli.

Aims: This study was designed to characterize verotoxigenic Escherichia coli (VTEC), important food-borne pathogens, in relation to virulence genes found in large plasmids harboured by diseaseassociated strains. Our aim was to detect these genes and possible combinations of them, and to establish if some kind of relationship exists between these profiles and different serotypes. Study Design: Amplification of genes and allelic variants by PCR. Place and Duration of Study: Laboratorio de Inmunoquimica y Biotecnologia (FCV-UNCPBA, Argentina), between June 2010 and July 2013. Methodology: 208 VTEC isolates belonging to 49 serotypes were characterized for the presence of plasmid-encoded genes: epeA (serine-protease), espP (extracellular serine protease) and its variants, katP (periplasmic catalase-peroxidase), stcE (zinc metalloprotease) and subA (subtilase
Hip Replacement or Hip Resurfacing with a Highly Cross-Linked Polyethylene Acetabular Bearing

Background: Most surgeons strongly prefer total hip arthroplasty (THA) over hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA). However, it is unknown whether patients prefer the results of 1 procedure over the other. The purpose of this study was to answer 3 questions: (1) Do patients with an HRA on 1 side and a THA on the other notice a difference? (2) Do patients have a preference? (3) What are the reasons for their preference? Methods: Between 1998 and 2012, 332 patients underwent staged bilateral hip arthroplasties with cementless THA on 1 side and HRA on the other, with a highly cross-linked polyethylene acetabular component used for both. Patient preferences, Harris hip scores, and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores were recorded by blinded examiners. Patients provided reasons for their preference in semi-structured interviews using both quantitative and qualitative measures. Results: The mean follow-up was 11 years (range, 7 to 21 years). Of 324 patients with complete data, 279 (86%) preferred the HRA, 19 (6%) preferred the THA, and 26 (8%) had no preference. The most common reasons for preference for the HRA were better balance (n = 143), felt more normal (n = 141), better activity participation/more reliable hip during sports (n = 139), and stronger on stairs (n = 129). A fair or poor outcome was reported by the patient after 4 HRAs and 7 THAs. The remainder of the patients reported improved function and satisfactory pain relief and range of motion for both hips. Conclusions: In conclusion, most patients in this study preferred the side on which the HRA had been done. Since essentially all current hip prostheses perform well, a paired bilateral study may be the optimal way to determine patient preferences and values of HRA compared with THA. Level of Evidence: Therapeutic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
Rǒle of polysaccharides in soil aggregation

Natural aggregates of a Swiss Braunerde and synthetic soil aggregates produced with several polysaccharides were subjected to various chemical treatments designed to destroy polysaccharides or other soil constituents. The water stability of the aggregates was determined before and after the treatment to evaluate the rǒle of the constituent destroyed. The properties of the agent responsible for the aggregation of soil are discussed. The contrasting behaviour of natural and synthetic aggregates provides evidence against polysaccharides being the agents responsible for the natural aggregation and it appears that more than one agent may be involved in this.
Low stress response exhibited by juvenile yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi Valenciennes) exposed to hypercapnic conditions associated with transportation

Transportation of yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi Valenciennes) juveniles from hatchery to on-growing operations in New Zealand exposes the fish to significantly elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations. Experiments were undertaken to assess metabolic and haematological stress responses after a 5 h period of hypercapnia followed by recovery in normocapnia. Mortality was low (0.5%) and secondary stress indices (blood glucose, blood lactate, muscle pH and muscle lactate) were largely unchanged during a simulated transportation and recovery, despite juveniles being exposed to CO2 concentrations as high as 75 mg CO2 L-1 (38 mm Hg partial pressure). There was some haematological disturbance midway through simulated transports where water was maintained at fixed CO2 concentrations of 8 and 50 mg CO2 L-1 (4 and 26 mm Hg, respectively). Persistent erythrocyte swelling continued during transport at 50 mg CO2 L-1, whereas at 8 mg CO2 L-1 haematological variables had returned to control levels. There was no mortality recorded for any of the treatments and haematological variables were restored to pre-manipulation levels after 31 h. The results indicated that juvenile yellowtail kingfish have a robust physiology and can cope with the stressors imposed by acute exposure to moderate to high levels of CO2 associated with live transport.

ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE AND BIOFILM FORMATION OF YERSINIA PSEUDOTUBERCULOSIS ISOLATED FROM PORK PRODUCTION CHAIN IN LITHUANIA

Limited information is available on antimicrobial resistance and biofilm formation of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. Therefore, the goal of present study was to examine the antimicrobial resistance and biofilm formation of 27 Y. pseudotuberculosis 2/O:3 strains isolated from pork production chain. Antimicrobial resistance was performed with four antimicrobials by the detection of the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC). All Y. pseudotuberculosis strains were resistant to erythromycin and sensitive to ciprofloxacin, meanwhile, 37% and 11% of tested bacteria were resistant to tetracycline and streptomycin, respectively. Obtained data on antimicrobial resistance revealed association between Y. pseudotuberculosis isolated from different pig farms and assigned to different genotypes (p < 0.05). All Y. pseudotuberculosis were able to form biofilms. However, no significant differences in biofilm formation of Y. pseudotuberculosis and antimicrobial resistance profile was observed. Additionally, no significant differences in biofilm formation and different bacteria sources, genotypes and farms were observed. Considering the importance of this foodborne pathogen, the data presented is relevant for characterizing Y. pseudotuberculosis as one of human yersiniosis agents.
Dinitrogen Fixation, Nitrogen Transfer, and Productivity of Forage Legume‐Grass Communities

Aeschynomene (L.) is a warm-season annual legume; to persist from year to year, its stands must regenerate from seed. Autumn grazing management must balance the need for seed yield with livestock needs for quality herbage. Aeschynomene was grown in pasture association with ‘Floralta’ limpograss [ (Poir.) Stapf & C.E. Hubb. ] on a Pomona sand (sandy, siliceous, hypothermic Ultic Haplaquod) in 1987 and 1988. Our objective was to measure the influence of three postgrazing stubble heights (SH) and four closure dates (CD, the times when autumn grazing was discontinued) on legume pod yield and amount of herbage left ungrazed at season end. Aeschynomene pod yield per plant and per hectare decreased as SH decreased from 24 to 8 cm, and as CD was delayed from 1 wk before to 2 wk after first flower. Ungrazed plots yielded 350 and 500 kg of pod ha in 1987 and 1988, while the earliest CD and tallest SH treatment yielded 90 and 180 kg ha. Pod yield declined with delayed CD because inflorescences per plant, pods per inflorescence, and pod weight decreased. Most pod yield components tended to decline with decreasing SH, but no significant differences were detected. Though pod yields were highest with early CD and tall SH, ≈50% of total herbage produced for these treatments remained ungrazed at season end. Thus, contribution of aeschynomene is reduced during a time when perennial grasses do not meet the nutrient requirements of grazing animals. Because taller SH leaves more ungrazed herbage, a potentially useful compromise between high seed yield and maximum forage utilization is to graze aeschynomene closely (8−16 cm), but to end autumn grazing before flowering. Additional utilization may be possible if grazing is resumed after most pods are mature, but nutritive value of this later herbage generally is low.
The effect of fluoride on the growth and fatty acid composition of Sphagnum fimbriatum at two temperatures

The fatly acid composition of different lipid fractions (neutral, glyco- and phospholipids) was studied in Sphagnum fimbriatum Wils, gametophytes grown in aseptic cultures at two temperatures (15°C and 25°C). The effect of a growth-retarding concentration (0.1 mM) of KF was also investigated. Fifteen-day treatment with KF affected the fatty acid composition more strongly at the higher than at the lower temperature. The proportion of palmitic acid (16:0) increased but the proportion of linoleic (18:2) decreased in all the lipid fractions, and that of linolenic (18:3) acid decreased in the fractions containing glyco- and neutral lipids. This indicates that the fluoride ions inhibit lengthening of the fatty acid chain. Compared with gametophytes grown at 25°C, material cultivated at 15°C had a much higher proportion of a highly unsaturated fatty acid, linolenic acid (18:3), in all the lipid fractions, but a lower proportion of oleic acid (18:1) in the neutral and phospholipids, and a lower proportion of linoleic (18:2) acid in all three fractions.
Ferulate Cross-Links Limit the Enzymatic Degradation of Synthetically Lignified Primary Walls of Maize

Ferulate cross-linking of arabinoxylans to lignin may restrict the enzymatic degradation of structural polysaccharides, limiting the utilization of graminaceous crops and crop residues as feedstuffs and as feedstocks for fuel and chemical production. Maize walls from nonlignified cell suspensions with ca. 5.1 or 17.6 mg g-1 of ferulates were synthetically lignified with coniferyl alcohol and H2O2 to form dehydrogenation polymer−cell wall complexes with ca. 4.8 or 15.8 mg g-1 of ferulates incorporated into lignin. Ferulate concentrations in cell walls were reduced from normal levels by growing cell suspensions with 2-aminoindan-2-phosphonic acid or by methylating wall ferulates with diazomethane prior to complex formation. A 70% reduction in ferulate−lignin cross-linking increased carbohydrate solubilization by 24−46% after 6 h and by 0−25% after 72 h of hydrolysis with two fungal enzyme mixtures. Reduced cross-linking enhanced the hydrolysis of xylans and, to a lesser degree, cellulose from walls. The res.
Susceptibility and esterase activity in citrus red mite Panonychus citri (McGregor) (Acari: Tetranychidae) after selection with phoxim

Changes in susceptibility and esterase activity were measured in the citrus red mite, Panonychus citri (McGregor), which was repeatedly exposed to phoxim, an organophosphorus acaricide, for 15 repeated treatments as potential selection at the 50% lethal concentration. A reference or non‐selected strain (SS) was not exposed to any acaricides throughout the experiments. After 15 repeated phoxim selection events, the resistance ratio increased to 18.6‐fold and this strain was considered resistant to phoxim and named Ph‐R. The activity and specific activity of carboxylesterase (CarE) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in Ph‐R were all significantly higher than those in SS. The Michaelis–Menten constants (K m) of both CarE and AChE in Ph‐R were significantly higher than those in SS, suggesting decreased affinities of the enzymes in Ph‐R to the corresponding substrates. In addition, in vitro inhibition of phoxim against CarE of the mite showed that CarE from SS was more sensitive than that from Ph‐R, and an in vitro inhibition assay of AChE by phoxim showed that there was a strong linear relationship between inhibiting action and AChE from the two strains. Similar to the situation of CarE, AChE in Ph‐R also suggested a lower sensitivity to phoxim. The results suggested that CarE and AChE might be involved in the resistance to phoxim in citrus red mite.
Iot Based Remote Health Care Monitoring System Using Wearable Sensor for Tracking Anomalous Situation

Care of critically ill patient with chronological diseases and aging population need to be monitored regularly/periodically, especially if they are living alone. In such scenario, monitoring system plays an important role in aiding such needy people. It improves the living quality of the people, reduces the cost incurred and eliminates unnecessary travelling. The concept of ubiquitous healthcare system is a boon of the technology invention that helps in remote health care monitoring. An unobtrusive wireless sensor is placed on a person’s (patient/aged/pregnant ladies) body to form a wireless network, which can communicate the person’s health status with base station connected to the monitoring PC. In this paper, a ubiquitous healthcare prototype system for elderly people has been proposed that monitors the health of a person situated at a remote place and provide them required help in emergency situation. A Wearable Body Sensor (WBS) has been placed on the hand of the person; the vital parameters such as body temperature, breathing rate, blood pressure and pulse rate are measured periodically. The sensor sends the values through a smart phone and is stored in cloud in a secured manner. The information can be accessed from a remote location only by the authorized persons’ like doctor and care taker. In case, if any anomaly situation is detected in the condition of the patient, the patient’s location is traced and SMS alert will be send to the nearby hospital, ambulance service for further treatment and a notification to the care taker as well.
INTRASPECIFIC VARIATION IN THE DINOFLAGELLATE GAMBIERDIZSCUS TOXICUS (DINOPHYCEAE). I. ISOZYME ANALYSIS

Intraspecific variation among 19 isolates of the ciguatera‐causing dinoflagellate Gambierdiscus toxicus Adachi & Fukuyo (Dinophyceae) collected from French Polynesia, New Caledonia, and the French West Indies was investigated by isozyme analysis. Comparison of their cell sizes and growth rates revealed that significant variation exists among these clones. Comparison of electrophoretic patterns for seven enzyme systems indicated that G. toxicus is comprised of numerous biochemically distinct strains. Isolates from Tubuai and Hao appeared to be the most distantly related. Tahitian strains of G. toxicus also showed a remarkably low degree of similarity with the Tubuai isolates. The latter, which were taken from the same locale in Tubuai, also exhibited highly heterogeneous electrophoretic Profiles when compared to each other, suggesting a multiclonal origin. The single isolate analyzed from the Atlantic Ocean was most closely related to Tahitian isolates, despite their geographic separation. Finally, no clear relationship was found between the electrophoretic profiles of these isolates and their capacity to produce ciguatoxic compounds.
