Impact of Fat on Dough and Cookie Properties of Sugar-Snap Cookies

ABSTRACT Fat, one of the three major ingredients of sugar-snap cookies, affects dough properties, changes in dough dimensions during baking, and in the end, the properties of the baked product. We studied the effect of reducing fat levels (from 15.8 to 8.7% on a dough basis) on dough and cookie properties and related it to the SDS extractable protein (SDSEP) levels. Reducing fat levels increased dough elasticity (from 0.19 to 0.60 MPa) and dough intrinsic hardness (from 8.6 to 27.5 N·cm3/g). Because no differences in dough SDSEP levels were noticed when fat levels were reduced, the increased dough elasticity and hardness were related to a more pronounced physical gluten entanglement. Reducing fat levels in the recipe decreased the SDSEP levels of the baked cookies, indicating more protein cross-linking during baking with lower fat levels. Our data show that the dispersed fat phase interferes with the formation of a gluten network during baking. Reducing the fat level in the recipe increased the intrinsic .
Bone Marrow Aspiration and Bone Marrow Biopsy in Hematological Disorders

Bone marrow aspiration is a key laboratory method for investigating hematological disorders, which often fails in detecting a few disorders. This study was aimed at evaluating the application of aspiration and biopsy techniques simultaneously with bone marrow examination for accurate marrow evaluation. Methodology: This study was performed for a period of 2 years on 109 patients who were referred for marrow examination at a tertiary care hospital in Karad, Maharashtra. Simultaneous estimation of bone marrow aspiration (BMA) and bone marrow biopsy (BMB) was done on patients directly referred to the hospital. Following aspiration and biopsy analysis, the disease was diagnosed and descriptive statistics were recorded. The diagnostic concordance was analyzed by R software. Results: Of the 109 cases, 11 cases were inconclusive and excluded from the study. The mean age of the cases was 50.3 years and a slight male preponderance was observed (Male: Female=1.27:1). Lymphoma staging (40.81%) was the most common indication for marrow examination. In 52 patients, both BMA and BMB were performed simultaneously. High concordance (93.93%) was observed between the techniques and was significant (P<0.05). Due to dry tap and inadequate biopsy sample, cases were diagnosed using BMA alone (10 cases) and BMB alone (9 cases). In this study, lymphoproliferative disorder was observed in majority of the cases (47.95%) followed by acute leukemia (15.30%) and multiple myeloma (14.31%). Only one case of drug-induced thrombocytopenia was observed, which was due to methotrexate usage. Conclusion: Study results suggested that performing both the techniques simultaneously was beneficial during disease diagnosis as some cases might be inadequate for either BMA or BMB.
Comparative analysis of safety and efficacy of cefotaxime/sulbactam verses piperacillin/tazobactam combinations in the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections

Background: Complicated UTIs (cUTIs) are leading causes of the gram negative bacteraemia. The objective of this study was to compare efficacy and safety Cefotaxime/ Sulbactam (CTS) and Piperacillin/ Tazobactam (PT) combinations in complicated Urinary Tract Infections.Methods: Total 80 patients admitted in the hospital due to cUTI were enrolled. 31 patients were given CTS while 49 patients were given PT. Clinical symptoms were registered and scored as mild (1) moderate (2) or severe (3). The follow-up of were done daily till the patient is discharged. Thereafter, one follow up visit was done within 4 to 9 days of after discharge, termed as test of cure (TOC), and, one late follow up visit after 6 to 8 weeks was done, known as late follow up visit (LFU). Clinical assessments and microbiological analysis were done at the time of TOC and LFU.Results: At TOC visit, in CTS and PT groups, clinical scores were 1.25±3.47 and 0.86±2.35, respectively (p<0.005). Rate of clinical improvement at TOC visit was 92.00% and 92.68% while microbiological clearance was 84.00% and 87.80% with CTS and PT groups respectively. At LFU visit, clinical scores CTS and PT in groups were 1.30±3.56 and 1.32±3.37, respectively, suggesting significant improvement from baseline (p<0.005). Clinical cure rate at LFU visit was 88.00% and 87.80% while microbiological cure rate at LFU visit was 76.00% and 82.91% in CTS and PT groups respectively.Conclusions: Results suggest that both regimens have no significant difference for the treatment of cUTI. CTS and PT both are equally efficacious in treatment of cUTI.
Discrete Descriptions of Geometric Objects

The core of this thesis is the wireless localization or internet cafe problem, a relatively new problem which evolved within the field of art gallery problems: An internet cafe wants to provide wireless internet access for its customers. How can they prevent customers in the competitor’s cafe next door from using their internet connection? The customers should have the possibility to prove that they are inside while anybody outside should not be able to provide such a proof. We place point stations (usually called guards) that broadcast a unique signal within an angular range. The signals are not blocked by the walls of the cafe. The goal is to place the guards and adjust their angular range in such a way that a customer in the cafe can prove to be inside by naming the keys it receives whereas anyone outside of the cafe cannot provide such a proof. This can be phrased as a constructive solid geometry (CSG) problem: Describe a simple polygon by a formula over primitive objects—in our case the cones representing the area of broadcast of the guards—using the set operators union and intersection. Instead of asking for a description using cones one can try to use other primitives such as triangles. More generally, we are interested in simple and compact descriptions of polygons and polyhedra using different classes of primitives. Decomposing polygons into primitive objects is a important problem in computational geometry. Besides direct applications, for example in pattern recognition or VLSI design, decomposition is often the first step of geometric algorithms: A polygon is first decomposed into simple pieces, then the problem is solved for each piece individually, and then the partial solutions are combined to give a solution for the original polygon. How can a complex geometric object be described by simpler objects? We provide a general framework in order to give this question a mathematical meaning. Depending on which objects and which primitives are used, and what operations are allowed to combine the primitives, we get a rich variety of problems that are precise variants of the informal quest for “nice descriptions”. Then, we turn our attention to specific variants. It is well-known that n/3 guards are sufficient and sometimes necessary to watch an art gallery with n walls. Similarly, we try to bound the number of guards needed for wireless localization. On one hand, 3n/4 guards are sufficient to describe any simple polygon with n non-parallel edges. On the other hand, there is a class of simple
Hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum) root miRNome analysis in response to salt stress

Hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) is one of the major crops grown and consumed all over the world. Elevated soil salinity causes reduction in crop yield and quality; therefore, several strategies were developed to improve salt-tolerant cultivars. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), small and non-coding RNAs, regulate gene expression at post-transcriptional level and play important roles in stress tolerance. Here, we used a broad-range miRNA-microarray analysis to investigate the root-miRNA profiles of two cultivars, Bezostaja (sensitive) and Seri-82 (tolerant). A total of 44 differentially regulated miRNAs were identified in the 8 × 15K array containing 11 862 plant miRNAs available in the database. Sixteen novel salt-responsive miRNAs were determined in wheat for the first time. The expression of three miRNAs (hvu-miR5049a, ppt-miR1074 and osa-miR444b.2) was up-regulated more than 260-fold in cv. Bezostaja upon salt stress. The target-gene analyses showed that several salt-stress-responsive miRNAs regulate mainly transcription factors such as bHLH135-like, AP2/ERBP, MADS-box and transporters. Gene ontology searches for 565 putative salt-stress-responsive miRNA target-genes revealed 623 processes in 10 different main topics such as metabolic process and response to stimuli. The genome-wide root miRNome study indicates salt-stress-responsive wheat miRNAs and the possible mechanisms behind the tolerance.
Study of foot length as an alternate measurement for assessment of gestational maturity in neonates

Background: The aim was to study neonatal foot length as a simple method for quick gestational age assessment which can be done by basic healthcare personnel overcoming the technicality required by other assessment methods.Methods: Prospective descriptive study was done. Live born neonates at Saveetha Medical College, Kanchipuram from June 2016 to June2017 were enrolled. Gestational age was assessed by New Ballard’s Scoring and footlength was measured using the paddle blades of automated digital Vernier calipers within 24 hours while birth weight was taken within 72 hours of birth. Based on gestational age, babies were grouped into preterm, term and post term and were subclassified as small for gestational age (SGA), appropriate for gestational age (AGA) and large for gestational age (LGA) based on Lubchenco’s intrauterine growth chart. Correlation and regression analysis and Scattergram was done.Results: Out of 300 neonates, term, preterm and post-term were 70.3%,28.3% and1.3% while SGA, AGA, and LGA babies were 9%, 88% and 3%. Mean foot length was 7.728cm±0.59 with a range of 5-8.8cm. Foot length strongly correlated with gestational age in Preterm AGA, SGA and Term AGA babies (<0.001). Correlation coefficient of foot length with gestational age was higher in preterms (r=0.95). Gestational age in 54% of study population could be calculated with the derived regression equation derived.Conclusions: Foot length maybe useful for quick estimation of gestational age in preterm and term neonates for early referral of newborns requiring special care and can even be done by basic healthcare personnel.
Lessons for Australia? Learning from England's Curriculum "Black Box".

While all comparisons are difficult, a consideration of the English national curriculum may offer some insights about the Australian version. In this paper, I suggest that there are some important similarities between the two approaches. I query the stated purposes of the Australian national curriculum and its adoption of a notion of equity which equates to the distribution of learning outputs. I argue that this distributive approach. fundamental to the English national curriculum, has been used as part of a quality management policy approach which demonises some schools and teachers deemed to be 'failing'. I suggest that the moves of Minister Gillard to endorse forms of league tables and testing indicate that a national curriculum in Australia might, as is the case in England, be a vehicle for other less attractive policy agendas.
The Canadian immigrant labour market in 2007: analysis by region of postsecondary education

This series of analytical reports provides an overview of the Canadian labour market experiences of immigrants to Canada, based on data from the Labour Force Survey. These reports examine the labour force characteristics of immigrants, by reporting on employment and unemployment at the Canada level, for the provinces and large metropolitan areas. They also provide more detailed analysis by region of birth, as well as in-depth analysis of other specific aspects of the immigrant labour market. In this fourth report, the focus is on the 2007 labour market experiences of immigrants with postsecondary education, with an analysis by country where the highest level of education was obtained.
Breast Pathologies and Inadequate Breastfeeding Practices: A Survey Among a Group of Newly Delivered Women in Yaoundé, Cameroon

Breastfeeding women may develop a number of breast disorders during the postpartum period. Such disorders could involve masses of varying sizes, breastmilk secretion anomalies and painful-inflammatory or infectious conditions. Though very few of these conditions may be absolute contraindications to breastfeeding, they are however a significant source of worry for newly delivered women and may disrupt the breastfeeding process. This survey aimed to investigate breast anomalies in women with inadequate breastfeeding practices. We conducted a cross-sectional study from December 2018 to May 2019 at the Yaounde Gynaeco-Obtetric and Paediatric Hospital. Mothers with livebirth neonate infants weighing > 2000g and with no initial contraindication to breastfeeding were included. A total of 250 mothers were enrolled in the survey. Delivery was eutocic in 230 (92%) women and 199 (79.6%) had the intension to exclusively breastfeed their babies. The state of the neonates was satisfactory in 204 (96%) deliveries. However, inadequate breastfeeding was noted in 153 mothers (61.2%), with breast pathologies occurring in 85 women (55.5%), among which 24 (28.2%) had secretion anomalies predominated by quantitative disorders. Painful inflammatory and/or infectious conditions occurred in 58 women (69.4%) including nipple crevices, breast engorgement, inverted nipples, mastitis and abscess. All women with obvious or supposed breast disorders had inadequate breastfeeding practices. Therefore, painful breast pathologies and secretion disorders should firstly be investigated in women with eutocic delivery, who are willing to breastfeed, but unable to do so adequately. More so, these pathologies are essentially benign and may be prevented by good hygiene, adequate breastfeeding techniques such as proper nipple and areolar positioning into the baby’s mouth.
Liver iron overload and hepatic function in children with thalassemia major

Background Routine blood transfusions and increased intestinal iron absorption lead to iron accumulation in various organs, especially the liver. To date, T2-star magnetic resonance imaging (T2*MRI) is a valuable tool to evaluate iron level in organs. Objective To assess the degree of liver iron overload among children with thalassemia major (TM) and its possible correlations with hepatic function laboratory values. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. The degree of liver iron overload was evaluated by T2*MRI. Assessments of serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), albumin, and bilirubin levels were done to evaluate liver function. Results A total of 291 TM children were included in this study. The mean age of subjects was 12 years. Most of the subjects were diagnosed as β-thalassemia homozygote (54.6%) and β-thalassemia/HbE (41.2%). Deferiprone (DFP) was the most commonly used iron chelator. Less than 10% of the subjects had normal liver iron deposition. The AST and ALT values increased proportionally with the severity of liver iron overload, with significant, moderately negative correlation coefficients (r=-0.388 and -0.434, respectively). However, albumin level decreased proportionally with the severity of liver iron overload, with a significant, moderately positive correlation coefficient (r=0.323). Liver T2* MRI had no significant correlations with direct, indirect, and ratio of direct/total bilirubin levels. Conclusion Most of the children with TM have mild to severe liver iron overload. Liver T2* MRI had significant, moderate correlations with AST, ALT, and albumin values. Bilirubin level has no correlation with T2* MRI. Our findings suggest that monitoring of AST, ALT, and albumin levels is important because they may reflect the severity of liver iron overload. However, they should not be used as the only predictors of iron overload.
Sex determination from tooth

Teeth forms an excellent material for anthropological, genetic, odontologic and forensic investigations. The present study has been conducted in 400 patients (M:F, 240:260) in the age group of 17–25 years. Among the teeth, the mandibular canines and maxillary first molar is found to exhibit greatest sexual dimorphism. Statistically significant sexual dimorphism exist in the mandibular canine and maxillary first molars among all teeth weather measurements are taken on casts or intraorally. Mandibular canines and maxillary first molar may be used in gender determination.
Handbook of bereavement research and practice: Advances in theory and intervention.

In this state-of-the-art volume, leading international scholars and clinicians provide a comprehensive and cross-disciplinary overview of how rigorous research on bereavement translates into practice. They identify new developments and controversies in the field, relating new theories to concepts from attachment and emotion theory. The effects of societal change and of national and international events on personal and public mourning are examined, along with other areas of interest to practitioners, such as cultural competence in helping diverse clients cope with grief and bereavement. New analyses employ longitudinal data sets to more clearly trace patterns of adjustment, trajectories of grieving over time, and the use of coping resources. The contributors also explore emerging research on the consequences of losing a loved one; "disenfranchised" grieving, and other critical areas. Researchers and practitioners will find useful discussions of innovations in research design and quantitative and qualitative measurement, and the efficacy of intervention programs. Other chapters explore the current controversy over including complicated grief in the next edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
Distribución factorial de la carga en cuidadores de pacientes con enfermedad de Alzheimer

Introduccion. La enfermedad de Alzheimer (EA) provoca una necesidad de asistencia a los pacientes que puede provocar estados de carga fisica, emocional y psicologica en los cuidadores. Los objetivos de este estudio fueron determinar la estructura factorial de la escala de carga de Zarit (EC), establecer las diferencias entre los factores segun las caracteristicas de pacientes y cuidadores y determinar el efecto de la evolucion de la enfermedad sobre los factores de la EC durante un periodo de dos anos. Sujetos y metodos. Estudio prospectivo y longitudinal en cuidadores no formales de pacientes con EA. Participaron 463 pacientes diagnosticados de EA probable. La media de edad fue de 75,2 anos. A todos los sujetos se les administro el protocolo de estudio semestralmente durante un periodo de 24 meses. Se evaluo la capacidad cognitiva y funcional del paciente y la presencia de sintomas psicologicos y conductuales. Al cuidador principal se le administro la EC de Zarit. Resultados. Los 21 items de la EC se distribuyeron en cinco factores que explicaron el 59,7% de la varianza total de la puntuacion. El analisis multivariante identifico la agresividad, la apatia, la irritabilidad, la edad del cuidador y su relacion familiar como los principales causantes de la carga. Conclusiones. Este estudio confirma la estructura multidimensional de la EC y aporta informacion sobre el efecto que las distintas variables clinicas de los pacientes y sociodemograficas de los cuidadores provocan sobre la carga.
How Pixar Fosters Collective Creativity

A few years ago, I had lunch with the head of a major motion picture studio, who declared that his central problem was not finding good people—it was finding good ideas. Since then, when giving talks, I’ve asked audiences whether they agree with him. Almost always there’s a 50/50 split, which has astounded me because I couldn’t disagree more with the studio executive. His belief is rooted in a misguided view of creativity that exaggerates the importance of the initial idea in creating an original product. And it reflects a profound misunderstanding of how to manage the large risks inherent in producing breakthroughs.
Effects of landscape context and agricultural practices on the abundance of cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera in cotton fields: A case study in northern Benin

Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a polyphagous pest of global importance, threatening several key crops, including cotton. This study analysed the influence of landscape composition and agricultural practices on (i) the abundance of H. armigera larvae, and (ii) the proportion of infested plants (infestation) in cotton fields in northern Benin. In 2011 and 2012, the abundance of H. armigera was monitored during the rainy period, with weekly observations of 50 cotton plants in 20 fields selected each year. We selected cotton fields based upon the composition of the surrounding landscape (cotton, tomato and maize fields, and areas of natural vegetation) within 500 metres radius buffers. We also recorded agricultural practices, included sowing date, crop rotation, and frequencies of weeding and of treatment with insecticides. In testing for a relationship between the pest problem and landscape and management, we fitted logistic multiple regression models and compared all the possible models using an information-theoretic approach. Cotton fields surrounded by cotton crops were found to have significantly higher infestation rates. Natural vegetation was positively correlated with the level of infestation. This study highlights the importance of considering both landscape variables and agricultural practices to improve strategies management of H. armigera.
