The relationships between pregnancy-associated protein A levels, placental localization and fetal birth weight

Aim. This study was designed to determine the relationship between pregnancy-associated protein A (PAPP-A), placenta localization and fetal birth weight (FBW). Materials and methods. First trimester PAPP-A levels, second trimester placental localization and birth weights of 1145 infants were obtained through a retrospective review of the patient follow up charts in Koru Hospital. Serum PAPP-A levels were recorded as the multiple of median (MоM) values, the FBW values of infants were recorded in grams, and the placental localization was recorded under seven different pre-defined categories: 1. placenta anterior; 2. placenta posterior; 3. placenta fundal; 4. placenta fundal-anterior; 5. placenta fundal-posterior; 6. placenta lateral-right; 7. placenta lateral-left. The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) program (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Results.There was no significant difference between the FBW and PAPP-A levels. The comparison of seven placental localizations shows that the anterior and posterior localizations have an impact on FBW of the infants.Conclusion. The FBW was highest in the cases where the placenta was located in the corpus uteri. We believe this finding is consistent with the fact that the corpus uteri receives the largest blood supply.
Toxicity effects of aflatoxin B1 on growth indices and histopathological alteration in Cyprinus carpio

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a common contaminant of foods, the safety characteristics of feed used in fish aquaculture systems are an essential tool to assure the productivity of those animal exploitations. The aim of this study was conducted to evaluate the fungi contamination in 53 samples, which were randomly collected from private fish farms in Iraq. In addition, investigate the effects of aflatoxin B1 contamination in feeds on growth indices, total protein, serum albumin in blood, liver histopathology, as well as the AFB1 residues in the fish muscle, was also examined. To evaluate adverse effects of AFB1 toxicity on health status of the Common carp (Cyprinus carpio). Fish were randomly distributed into 15 polystyrene tank, within five experimental groups; (1) control fed with normal diet without solvent and AFB1, (2) positive control received feed with only solvent, and (3-5) fed on diets containing 0.5, 1 and 2 mg /kg of AFB1, respectively for 12 weeks. Growth indices, total weight gain (TWG) and average daily gain (ADG) were assessed; blood samples were collected to analyze serum total protein (TP) and serum albumin (SA). The toxin residues in the musculature and histopathological alteration in liver were also investigated. Molds were found in 31 samples (58.5%). Aspergillus flavus was the most frequent, found in all positive samples. Results indicated that AFB1 has a negative effect on C. carpio weight gain, average daily gain and decreased in serum TP, SA, as well as liver histopathology of the infected fish, indicated cloudy swelling of hepatocytes, cellular hypertrophy, the formation of vacuoles in the cytoplasm, and necrosis of liver parenchyma. Further, the AFB1 residues were detected in the musculature with high level only in fish fed 2 mg AFB1/kg for 12 weeks. Overall, the results indicate that feeding of common carp with diets contaminated with AFB1, even in low concentrations (≤ 2 mg/ kg feed) can cause decreased in growth indices, histopathological damages and disturb their physiological balance.
Effect of Plant Growth Regulators on Rooting and Sprouting of Different Stem Cuttings of
Guava (Psidium guajava L.) cv. Lucknow-49 under Mist Chamber Condition

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of plant growth regulators on rooting and sprouting of different stem cuttings in guava under mist chamber condition at Horticultural College and Research Institute, Periyakulam, Tamil Nadu. Plant growth regulators viz., Indole-3-Butyric Acid (IBA), Indole-3-Acetic Acid (IAA) and Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA) were used at different concentrations and applied to softwood, semi hardwood and hardwood cuttings. The highest sprouting percentage (76.66 %) with early sprouting (19.10 days) was observed in softwood cutting treated with IBA 4000 ppm concentration. The highest number of leaves (25.80) at 90 days after planting was observed in hardwood cutting treated with IBA 4000 ppm concentration. The highest rooting percentage (74.44 %) was recorded in softwood cutting treated with IBA at 4000 ppm concentration. Softwood cutting treated with IBA 4000 ppm exhibited better rooting and sprouting performance as compared to NAA and IAA. Among the three stem cuttings, softwood cutting is an effective explant for faster multiplication.

Transgenerational effects of parental light environment on progeny competitive performance and lifetime fitness

Plant and animal parents may respond to environmental conditions such as resource stress by altering traits of their offspring via heritable non-genetic effects. While such transgenerational plasticity can result in progeny phenotypes that are functionally pre-adapted to the inducing environment, it is unclear whether such parental effects measurably enhance the adult competitive success and lifetime reproductive output of progeny, and whether they may also adversely affect fitness if offspring encounter contrasting conditions. In glasshouse experiments with inbred genotypes of the annual plant Polygonum persicaria, we tested the effects of parental shade versus sun on (a) competitive performance of progeny in shade, and (b) lifetime reproductive fitness of progeny in three contrasting treatments. Shaded parents produced offspring with increased fitness in shade despite competition, as well as greater competitive impact on plant neighbours. Inherited effects of parental light conditions also significantly altered lifetime fitness: parental shade increased reproductive output for progeny in neighbour and understorey shade, but decreased fitness for progeny in sunny, dry conditions. Along with these substantial adaptive and maladaptive transgenerational effects, results show complex interactions between genotypes, parent environment and progeny conditions that underscore the role of environmental variability and change in shaping future adaptive potential. This article is part of the theme issue ‘The role of plasticity in phenotypic adaptation to rapid environmental change’.

Crack localization in stepped rotors based on Bayesian fusion of multiscale superharmonic characteristic deflection shapes

A crack is one of the most dangerous faults in rotors of key rotating machinery. In order to make reasonable maintenance, crack localization for rotors under operational conditions is very important and full of challenges. Focusing on crack localization in rotating rotors, a new crack localization method for stepped rotors based on Bayesian fusion of multi-scale super-harmonic characteristic deflection shapes (SCDSs) is proposed. The nonlinearity induced by cracks is utilized to eliminate the interference of stiffness reduction by steps in the rotor, and the noise-robustness issue is tackled by casting the SCDSs into multi-scale SCDSs with multi-scale space theory. Moreover, Bayesian fusion is applied to the multi-scale SCDSs to derive a new damage index to localize cracks. Numerical and experimental investigations are conducted to validate the proposed method. The results indicate that the proposed method is effective, accurate and robust for single or multiple crack localization in stepped rotors, and thus it has a great potential in practical applications. transformed into multi-scale SCDSs by Gaussian multi-scale analysis, and the multi-scale SCDSs are used to construct a new damage index by Bayesian fusion theory. Numerical simulations for rotors with steps and breathing cracks are carried out, and the numerical results show that the proposed method is effective, accurate and robust, which is also validated by experimental results on a laboratory rotor. Moreover, the proposed method is compared with a recently published crack localization method. The comparison shows the advantage of the proposed method against noise. The proposed method is output-only, and there is no need to know the excitations and build a reference model of an intact baseline model which always difficult to obtain in real rotors, and the common existing steps in rotors will not affect the proposed method. Moreover, some nonlinear factors in rotors such as misalignment and initial bow, though they will generate super-harmonics in the vibration response, they will not affect the smoothness of the deflection of a rotor, thus will not affect the proposed method. Those advantages make the proposed method effective for crack localization in operating rotors even with coupled faults. However, the proposed method is limited for the cracked rotors, thus the existing of cracks needs to be guaranteed by crack detection method before the application of the proposed crack localization method. And higher crack localization accuracy depends on more measurement points, which might be the drawback of the proposed method when applied to real machines, which could be mitigated by advanced testing techniques, such as distributed optical fiber sensing technology.
Inhibitory Effect of the Theabrownin and Tea Polysaccharide Extracts of Dark Tea on Lipase

In order to investigate the effect of theabrownin and tea polysaccharide of dark tea on reducing fat and weight, theabrownin and tea polysaccharide extracted from dark tea of the same level in different regions were studied in this experiment and p-nitro phenol method and enzyme kinetics method was used to analyze the inhibition effects of theabrownin and tea polysaccharide on lipase, and the inhibition mechanism of tea theabrownin and tea polysaccharide on lipase was explored. The results showed that theabrownin and tea polysaccharide of dark tea extracts had a good inhibitory effect on lipase. Among them, theabrownin extracts of Pu-erh tea had the best inhibitory effect, and the IC50 of the semi-inhibitory concentration was the smallest at 24.21mg . mL−1, which was significantly less than semi-inhibitory concentrations of theabrownin extracts from dark tea in the other three regions( P<0.01). The inhibitory effect of polysaccharide extract of Liubao tea was the best, and the IC50 of the semi-inhibitory concentration was the smallest, which was 58.57mg · mL−1. It is not significantly different from the semi-inhibitory concentration of the tea polysaccharide of Pu-erh and Kang brick, but it was significantly greater than the semi-inhibitory concentration of Fu-brick tea polysaccharide (P <0.01). The results of kinetic studies showed that the catalyst type of tea theabrownin extract of all teas was a mixed type, which contained competitive and non-competitive type in a reversible inhibition type. The catalyst type of tea polysaccharide extract of Pu-erh tea, Liubao and Tibetan tea tea were mixed types, which contained competitive and noncompetitive type in a reversible inhibition type. The catalyst type of polysaccharide extract of Fu-brick tea was a reversible inhibition type and its inhibition type was competitive inhibition. In conclusion, the theabrownin extract of Pu-erh tea and tea polysaccharide extract of Liubao tea had the best inhibitory effect on the lipase.
Hormonal Regulation of Early Fruit Development in European Pear (Pyrus communis cv. ‘Conference’)

European pear requires inter-cultivar cross-pollination by insects to develop fertilized fruits. However, some European pear cultivars such as ‘Conference’ naturally produce parthenocarpic seedless fruits. To better understand the hormonal regulation of fruit set and early fruit development in this European pear cultivar, the phytohormone and polyamine profiles in ‘Conference’ flowers and fruits resulting from both fertilization and parthenocarpic processes were analyzed. The expression of genes involved in phytohormone metabolism and signaling were also investigated. Phytohormone profiles differed more at flower stage 3 days after treatment than in 15 day- and 30-day-old fruits in response to fertilization and parthenocarpy. An increase in auxins, abscisic acid, ethylene precursor, and spermine, and a decrease in putrescine were recorded in the fertilized flowers as compared to the parthenocarpic flowers. Fertilization also upregulated genes involved in gibberellin synthesis and down-regulated genes involved in gibberellin catabolism although the total gibberellin content was not modified. Moreover, exogenous gibberellin (GA3, GA4/7) and cytokinin (6BA) applications did not increase parthenocarpic induction in ‘Conference’ as observed in other European and Asian pear cultivars. We hypothesize that the intrinsic parthenocarpy of ‘Conference’ could be related to a high gibberellin level in the flowers explaining why exogenous gibberellin application did not increase parthenocarpy as observed in other pear cultivars and species.
Epidemics and underlying factors of multiple-peak pattern on hand, foot and mouth disease inWenzhou, China.

Background: Several outbreaks of severe hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) in East Asia and Southwest Asia in recent years have had a serious impact on the countries. However, the factors that contribute to annual multiple-peak pattern of HFMD outbreaks, and how and when do these factors play the decisive role in the HFMD transmission is still unclear. METHODS Based on the surveillance data of HFMD between 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2015 in Wenzhou, China, the daily modelfree basic reproduction number and its annual average were first estimated by incorporating incubation and infection information, then the annual model-based basic reproduction number was computed by the proposed kinetic model, and finally the potential impact factors of multiple-peak pattern are assessed through the global and time-varying sensitivity analyses. RESULTS All annual model-based and model-free basic reproduction numbers were significantly higher than one. The school opening both in the spring and fall semester, meteorological e ect in the spring semester, and the interactions among them were strongly correlated with the annual model-based basic reproduction number, which were the main underlying factors on the annual multiple-peak pattern of HFMD outbreaks. CONCLUSIONS School opening was primarily responsible for peaks of HFMD outbreaks and meteorological factors in the spring semester should also be highly concerned. The optimum timing for social distance implementation is at the beginning of every school semester and health education focusing on personal hygiene and good sanitation should be highlighted in the spring semester.
Impact of fire and harvest on forest ecosystem services in a species‐rich area in the southern Appalachians

To mitigate and adapt to climate change, forest carbon sequestration and diversity of the ecosystem must be included in forest management planning, while satisfying the demand for wood products. The future provisions of ecosystem services under six realistic management scenarios were assessed to achieve that goal. These services were carbon sequestration, types and quantities of roundwood harvested, and different indicators of forest health — biomass of major species, species diversity, and variation of tree age. A spatially explicit forest succession model was combined with statistical analyses to conduct the assessment at the level of both the whole forest landscape and different ecological zones (ecozones) within. An important aspect of this study was to explore the effects of the biophysical heterogeneity of different ecological zones on the outcomes of different management scenarios. The study area was located in an area of the southern Appalachian Mountains in North Carolina with high tree diversity and active forest management activities. Along with a range of management practices, such richness in diversity allowed us to examine the complexity of the interaction between management activities and species competition. The results showed that ﬁ re suppression had a greater effect on increasing biomass carbon sequestration than any management scenario that involves harvest and replanting afterward, but at the expense of other indicators of forest health. The effect of ﬁ re on species composition was the largest in the xeric parts of the study area. Based on the study results, it was proposed that a low harvest intensity with a mix of ﬁ re and ﬁ re suppression across the landscape would best balance the need for roundwood products, biomass carbon sequestration, and desirable species composition. This study also demonstrated that the combination of a spatially explicit forest succession model and statistical analyses could be used to provide a robust and quanti ﬁ able projection of ecosystem service provisions and possible trade-offs under different management scenarios.
Genetic Variability and Association of Traits in Mutant Lines of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) for Submergence Tolerance

Present investigation was carried out with 240 mutant lines developed from different combination of gamma rays and ethyl methyl sulfonate on three rice varieties i.e FR13A, FR13B and Labella along with three untreated checks (FR13A, FR13B and Labella). These were evaluated for their survival percentage under submerged condition and yield potential along with 9 other morpho-physiological traits using Type 2 modified augmented design during Kharif season of 2017 in the agroclimatic region of north bihar, India. Analysis of variance revealed highly significant differences among the mutant lines for all morpho-physiological characters under study. Higher magnitude of phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV), genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV), heritability (broad sense) and genetic advance as percentage of mean were observed for number of tillers per plant, number of fertile tillers per plant, relative shoot elongation and survival percentage, indicating that these traits could be used as selection indices for yield improvement and submergence tolerance. Association study revealed that number of tillers per plant and survival percentage had significant positive high to moderate direct association with grain yield per plant under submergence condition. Thus, these traits may be used as selection criteria in further crop improvement programmes for submergence tolerance.
A k-Factor Continuous Double Auction-Based Pricing Mechanism for the P2P Energy Trading in a LV Distribution System

With the development and low-cost trend of renewable energy technologies, particularly PV rooftop systems, energy consumers can produce electricity to self-consume and/or export the surplus energy into low-voltage (LV) distribution grids. The peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading widely allows consumers with a generation role, called prosumers, to trade their surplus energy with other prosumers. The purpose of this study is to investigate how to impose the exchanged price between two P2P participants by using the k-factor continuous double auction (CDA) algorithm to scale up/down between seller’s offers and buyer’s bids submitted in the P2P energy trading. The k-factor is set to be varied between 0 and 1. The simulation results, based on the case study, show that the approximated value of k as of 0.6445 which is such that the benefits between sellers and buyers are equal is feasible. This states that the exchanged price between two participants can be formed with a combination between 64.45% and 35.55% of the buyer’s outstanding bid and the seller’s outstanding offer, respectively.
