Dietary Fibre and Fatty Acid Evaluation of Boiled, Roasted, Germinated and Fermented Breadnut (Ukwa

Evaluation of dietary fiber and fatty acid composition of boiled, roasted, fermented and germinated breadnut seed flour was investigated. The seeds were dehulled and washed. It was divided into four equal parts for different processing techniques: boiled, roasted, germinated and fermented. They were analyzed for dietary fibre and fatty acid composition using standard methods. Data were subjected to statistical analysis using Statistical Product for Service Solution (SPSS) version 23.0. Values were expressed as means and standard deviation, Duncan multiple range test was used in separating the means at 95% confidence interval. Dietary fibre composition showed that breadnut seed flours range from 4.94% (fermented breadnut seed flour) to 5.42% (roasted breadnut seed flour). Fatty acid profile showed that breadnut seed flours contain a greater amount of non-essential fatty acids which were highly significant (p < 0.05) in oleic acid (57.93%) for roasted breadnut seed flour followed by linoleic acid (25.76%) in fermented breadnut flour. Stearic acid was the only prominent non-essential fatty acid in the breadnut seed flour and ranged from 4.40% (fermented breadnut seed flour) to 6.27% (germinated breadnut seed flour). The study revealed that all the processed breadnut seed flours have appreciable quantities of dietary fibre and essential fatty acids than non-essential fatty acids. Breadnut seed should be recommended in wheat substitution in bakery industry and culinary uses. It is also recommended for weight loss program.
Working Memory and Note Quantity: Their Relationship with Consecutive Interpreting in Proficient Bilinguals. Implications for Aptitude Tests of Interpreting

The present study examined the association between working memory (WM) and note quantity and their relationship with consecutive interpreting (CI) performance in order to evaluate their predictive efficiency for aptitude tests in CI. To follow the objectives of the study, two WM tests and one CI task were administered to 30 MA translation students. The results indicated a positive and significant relationship between one of the WM measures (Reading Span) and note quantity. Moreover, there was a significant relationship between both measures of WM and CI performance, and also between note quantity and CI performance. Furthermore, the results of the regression analysis indicated that both measures of WM were predictors of CI performance while the variable ‘note quantity’ failed to be a predictor. Based on the results, it was further proved that WM is an efficient component in aptitude tests whereas note quantity did not completely comply with the criteria and was rejected as a reliable criterion and could not be included as a subcomponent in the aptitude tests.
ROLE OF DAIRY COOPERATIVE SOCIETIES IN SUSTAINABLE DAIRY DEVELOPMENT IN KENYA

Dairy cooperative societies are significantly central to sustainable development of dairy sub-sector as they are mainly intended to empower the communities. Dairy farmers have relied more heavily upon cooperative societies to market their milk than have farmers of any other value chain (commodity). Despite the robustness of dairy cooperatives in Kenya, sustainable development of dairy sub sector varies among counties. This study therefore sought to establish the role of dairy cooperative societies in sustainable dairy development in Kenya. A descriptive survey design was used in the study and data was collected using questionnaires and desktop research review. The study sampled dairy co-operative managers, livestock production officers, co-operative officers from the County Government and dairy cooperative members. Results showed that benefits to smallholder farmers accruing from dairy cooperative societies are not evenly distributed. Assured market and improved income had moderate scores while access to information and ability to save and budgeting/planning had least scores. Services mainly offered by dairy cooperatives in Kenya included milk marketing and milk collection. However, cow insurance services are the least offered. The results also established that interaction between dairy cooperatives and other actors in the dairy value chain is instrumental in the achievement of sustainable dairy development in Kenya. Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats Analysis of dairy cooperatives in Kenya revealed that despite the existence of weaknesses and threats such as importation of dairy products and inadequate infrastructure, exploitation of existing opportunities using inherent strengths among dairy cooperatives would enhance sustainable development of the dairy sub sector. The study recommended identification of constraints affecting the performance of dairy cooperative societies and options available to enhance dairy cooperative societies’ benefits.
Early Childhood Research Quarterly he kindergarten Early Development Instrument predicts third grade cademic proficiency

School readiness skills predict later educational achievement, health, and social-emotional outcomes. Measures of school readiness can provide valuable information to assess both the impact of strategies and policies that prepare children for school as well as informing strategies for improving children’s educational trajectories across their school years. The Early Development Instrument (EDI) is a measure of school readiness skills based on teacher-reported observational recall. It has been used extensively in Canada and Australia and is in the early stages of adoption in a number of U.S. cities. The current study uses data from roughly 3000 children followed longitudinally from kindergarten through third grade from 7 school districts in Orange County, California. The study assesses whether EDI ratings in kindergarten predict third grade proficiency in mathematics and English Language Arts on state assessments. Ratings on the EDI were strongly associated with proficiency in both academic areas, even in the presence of controls for child-level factors and neighborhood fixed effects. Among its components, ratings on the language and cognitive development, communication skills and general knowledge, and social competence domains strongly differentiated children’s likelihood of later proficiency in both academic areas. Implications for improving comprehensive early childhood education and schooling policies based on indicators of school readiness are discussed. © 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
PLC Fuzzy PID Controller of MPPT of Solar Energy Converter

Development of the Maximum-Power-Point-Tracking (MPPT) scheme for solar mounts and rectifiers leftovers interesting. We design of high-sensitive fuzzy (HSF) Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PIDC) controller by means of Matlab and Programmable-Logic-Controllers (PLCs) for an adjusted of the MPPT scheme. This proposal is founded on a synergistic mixture of the Radial-Basis-Function-Neural Network (RBF-NN), Genetic Algorithm (GA), and Sugeno-Fuzzy-Logic (SFL) systems. The finest limits of PIDC and MPPT are strong-minded through optimization, wherever RBF-NN is adjusted by means of GA to reach the best key. Also, RBF-NN is rummage-sale to improve the PID limits (got from GA) for scheming HSFL-PIDC of the MPPT scheme. The HSFL-PIDC controller is extra planned to transfer in PLCs (STEP 75.5) for implementing the photovoltaic (PV) scheme. The all-inclusive scheme is extra tuned by solar limits under numerous operational circumstances to advance the solar recital in terms of accusing and correcting. The recital of the planned analog employed MPPT controller is assessed by interfacing it with a hardware prototype of dual photovoltaic (PV) scheme. The mixture controller configured the regulator signal founded on the interaction and in that way reduces the voltage mistake and the oscillation in the voltage regulator process. The achieved scheme is established to be well-organized and robust in refining solar charging and rectifying capability .
Exploring the Temperature-Stress Metabolome of Arabidopsis

Metabolic profiling analyses were performed to determine metabolite temporal dynamics associated with the induction of acquired thermotolerance in response to heat shock and acquired freezing tolerance in response to cold shock. Low-Mr polar metabolite analyses were performed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Eighty-one identified metabolites and 416 unidentified mass spectral tags, characterized by retention time indices and specific mass fragments, were monitored. Cold shock influenced metabolism far more profoundly than heat shock. The steady-state pool sizes of 143 and 311 metabolites or mass spectral tags were altered in response to heat and cold shock, respectively. Comparison of heatand cold-shock response patterns revealed that the majority of heat-shock responses were shared with cold-shock responses, a previously unknown relationship. Coordinate increases in the pool sizes of amino acids derived from pyruvate and oxaloacetate, polyamine precursors, and compatible solutes were observed during both heat and cold shock. In addition, many of the metabolites that showed increases in response to both heat and cold shock in this study were previously unlinked with temperature stress. This investigation provides new insight into the mechanisms of plant adaptation to thermal stress at the metabolite level, reveals relationships between heatand cold-shock responses, and highlights the roles of known signaling molecules and protectants.
Fabrication of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor compatible semiconducting yttrium barium copper oxide uncooled infrared microbolometer arrays

This article presents the fabrication of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) compatible micromachined semiconducting yttrium barium copper oxide (YBCO) microbolometer arrays. YBCO in the semiconducting phase at room temperature is used as an uncooled IR microbolometer. It possesses a relatively high temperature coefficient of resistance, a relatively low 1∕f noise, and the ease of fabrication by rf magnetron sputtering at ambient temperature. In this work, YBCO microbolometers are integrated with CMOS readout circuits using capacitive transimpedance amplifier and constant current buffered direct injection design techniques in AMI 1. 5μm double-poly-double-metal n-well 2.5V CMOS technology. The self-supporting micromachined YBCO exhibits low thermal mass and hence provides low thermal time constant for the same degree of thermal isolation. The thermal isolation of the microbolometers is varied by designing two different electrode arm geometries. The first geometry is designed to obtain a relative.

A music-inspired approach to structural health monitoring

Acoustic emissions (AE) in a solid body can be used to monitor its structural health. Lightweight structures subjected to high and varying load, such as lightweight truck frames, are particularly susceptible to fatigue failures. Previous work from the authors showed success in the detection of macroand microfractures in steel samples of truck trailer structures during both static tensile tests and dynamic fatigue tests. The physical processes that lead to the formation and propagation of cracks typically involve a sudden energy release, generating signals that are typically short-lived and span a relatively wide frequency range compared to the background noise. In these aspects, AE signals exhibit similarities to percussive instruments, although in rather different scales. This work describes a new music-inspired approach to analyse vibroacoustic data from tensile and fatigue tests of steel structures. Its application involves analysing the sampled signals both over time and in the frequency domain to detect percussive onsets. A time registry of the AE events and their intensities is generated. The method described was applied in the post-processing of measurement data to identify the emergence of cracks. Its success was verified by quantitative comparison with previously used detection methods and further examination of the tested samples (e.g. metallographic analysis), as described in the paper. The processing steps, relevant parameters and their influence on the results are discussed.

1College of Health Science, Debre Markos University, Debre Markos, Ethiopia; 2College of Health Science, Salale University, Salale, Ethiopia Background: Heart failure is the cumulative and progressive result of conditions that cause structural defects and functional abnormalities in the heart. It is affects at least 26 million people worldwide and is increasing in prevalence especially among hemodialysis patients with severe renal failure. Objective: To assess the incidence and predictors of congestive heart failure among hemodialysis patients at Felege Hiote Referral Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia. Methods: This institutionally based retrospective cohort study was undertaken among 205 hemodialysis patients of Felege Hiote Referral Hospital from January 1, 2016 to February 29, 2020. All eligible hemodialysis patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Data were entered using Epi-data Version 4.1 and analyzed using STATA Version 14. The survival time of hemodialysis patients was estimated using the Kaplan– Meier survival curve, and the survival time between different categorical variables was compared using the log rank test. Both bivariable and multivariable Cox-proportional hazard regression models were fitted to identify independent predictors of congestive heart failure among hemodialysis patients. Results: Among a cohort of 205 hemodialysis patients at Felege Hiote Referral Hospital, 12 (5.9%) developed congestive heart failure during the follow-up time. The overall congestive heart failure incidence rate was 2.9 per 100 person-years (PY) with 95% CI. The total time allotted to follow up the study participants was 4968 PY. Using multivariable Cox-regression analysis, we found that male sex, rural residence, no formal education, low body mass index (<18.5), presence of comorbidity, and anemia during dialysis initiation significantly increased the risk of heart failure. Conclusion: In this study, we found a high rate of congestive heart failure among hemodialysis patients. Factors significantly linked with increased risk of heart failure included male sex, rural residence, no education, low body mass index (<18.5), presence of comorbidity, and anemia during dialysis initiation. Early screening and treatment for heart failure are highly recommended at hemodialysis follow-up for patients with the above risk factors.
A floristic assessment of grassland diversity loss in South Africa

Background: Land-use effects on grassland flora are difficult to predict due to poor understanding of species losses caused by transformation.Objectives: To determine changes in species diversity and composition by comparing transformed with untransformed grassland.Methods: Floristics of paired plots were sampled within 18 transformed sites (representing agricultural and urban land-uses) and neighbouring untransformed grassland.Results: Endemic and threatened species were negatively affected by transformation, particularly species with belowground bud-banks and storage organs. Species composition, with clear shifts in dominant families, was changed by over 90% on average by transformation.Conclusion: Land-use transformation leads to the loss of native species and increased alien invasive species.

Etiological agents of bovine mastitis in Poland 1 )

Mastitis in cows is caused by the simultaneous occurrence and overlap of many unfavorable factors of which the most important are pathogens. The etiological agents that cause mastitis may vary depending on the climate, species or breeding. These agents include a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, mycoplasmas, fungi, yeasts, algae and viruses. According to Watts (35), the inflammation of the udder is caused by about 140 species of microorganisms. Pathogenic microorganisms that most frequently cause mastitis can be divided into two groups based on their source: environmental pathogens (coliform bacteria and Streptococcus species other than Streptococcus agalactiae) and contagious pathogens (Str. agalactiae, Staphylococcus aureus, Mycoplasma spp. and Corynebacterium bovis). The source of environmental bacteria is the habitat of the cow while the source of contagious pathogens are infected mammary glands. The identification of pathogens causing mastitis is important for disease control and epidemiological studies. The studies regarding the occurrence of mastitis pathogens were performed in several countries worldwide (19, 21, 27). However, a survey on mastitis has not been conducted on a larger scale in Poland. The research carried out in recent years generally included one group of microorganisms, single cow herds or regions (2, 10, 17). Changing breeding conditions, consumer expectations with regard to milk and milk products, breeding and veterinary practices, and tasks arising out of international economic and scientific cooperation require knowledge of the health status of food-producing animals. This research paper addresses the hypothesis that the incidence of various bovine mastitis pathogens is 1) The 5,378 samples were investigated in the former Department of Pathophysiology of Reproduction and Mammary Gland, National Veterinary Research Institute in Pulawy, Division in Bydgoszcz, where the authors of the study had worked until 2014.

3 Capital Allocation , Credit Access , and Firm Growth

Since the originalDoiMoi economic reforms, Vietnam has undergone considerable economic transformation. Living standards have risen and the economy has been reoriented away from central planning towards a more market-based economic structure. The development of private sector businesses, as well as foreign direct investment, have played an important role in this transformation. Understanding the catalysts for such rapid economic development can shed important light for policy makers and academics looking to decompose the sources of growth in a developing country context. One sector of the Vietnamese economy that has experienced rapid reform is the financial sector. While initially Vietnam was slow to embrace capital and banking market liberalization, a series of policy initiatives throughout the 1990s and into the 2000s laid the foundations for rapid change in financial markets. Kovsted et al. (2003) note that financial reform initially took place in two phases: (1) initial banking reforms between 1988 and 1997 which split the commercial state lending from the Central Bank, State Bank of Vietnam, as well as allowing joint stock commercial banks and foreign branches; (2) the banking law of 1998 which removed administrative control over interest rates and strengthened the independence of the Central Bank. These changes—along with a multitude of other reforms—led to a rapid financial deepening of the economy and high levels of credit growth. Private sector credit to GDP increased considerably between 1995 and 2015. Recent research has found that this process of financial development has led to a reduction in credit constraints and fostered higher investment amongst Vietnamese companies (O’Toole and Newman 2017). However, much of the existing research has focused on large companies or has been aggregate in nature. Fewer research papers have considered the role that financial reform has played in the development of small and medium sized companies, Rand (2007) being a notable exception. Indeed, where these issues have been considered, the efficiency of capital allocation has not been factored OUP CORRECTED PROOF – FINAL, 20/1/2020, SPi
Comparison of prey availability for Setophaga petechia gundlachi (Aves: Parulidae) between two mangroves with different vegetation structure

The subspecies Setophaga petechia gundlachi is characterized by its specificity to mangrove habitat during the breeding season. The objective of this work was to compare the prey availability for S. petechia gundlachi during the breeding season in two mangrove sites with different vegetation structure in Havana, Cuba. To describe different levels of vegetation structure between both mangrove sites, we took several variables at 50 plots. Besides, we recorded the foraging behavior of S. petechia gundlachi to establish the design of prey availability sampling. We measured prey availability by using the branch clipping method, about 90 samples were collected at each mangrove site. Bajo de Santa Ana mangrove, with a lower height and diameter at breast height, showed evidence of deforestation. Laguncularia racemosa was the most used mangrove species for foraging and offered the highest biomass of available prey in the Laguna de Cobre-Itabo mangrove site. The greatest biomass of available prey was found at the Laguna de Cobre-Itabo, with a value of 5.1 (CI: 4.0 6.2) mg / 100 g of branch clipping. The Bajo de Santa Ana site had a lower value than expected 1.6 (CI: 0.8 1.7) mg / 100 g of branch clipping. The results provide evidence of the possible influence of mangrove vegetation structure changes on food availability for S. petechia gundlachi in this urban landscape.
Surface oxidic phases of binary and ternary zirconia-supported metal catalysts investigated by Raman spectroscopy

The prevailing zirconia modification in a series of metal/ZrO2 catalysts has been investigated by Raman spectroscopy. Activation of an amorphous Cu70Zr30 alloy, or coprecipitation of zirconium dioxide with either copper, nickel or silver oxides at constant pH results in amorphous solids containing varying fractions of monoclinic or tetragonal zirconia. The cubic ZrO2 modification is not present in significant concentrations according to the Raman results. For Cu/ZrO2, strong Raman signals of Cu2O are detected, which indicate an enrichment of this compound on the catalyst surface. Copper and nickel ions apparently stabilize the tetragonal zirconia modification, whereas in the presence of palladium or silver, the formation of monoclinic zirconia domains is favoured. In ternary systems, the addition of 5 at. % of either Ag or Pd results in pronounced changes in the structure of Cu/ZrO2: Raman signals of monoclinic zirconia are observed for Ag(5%)/Cu(45%)/ZrO2 and Pd(5%)/Cu(45%)/ZrO2, and at the most only traces of surface Cu2O are detected.
