HAEMATOLOGY AND GONAD HISTOLOGY OF OREOCHROMIS NILOTICUS (LINNAEUS, 1758) FED CARICA PAPAYA SEED MEAL

Haematology and gonad histology of Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758) fed Carica papaya seed meal. Braz. This research investigated the effect of papaya ) seed meal (PSM) on haematological parameters and gonad histology of Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758). Freshly hatched fry of O. niloticus were fed blended commercial diet (35%CP) mixed with varying levels of PSM (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8gkg -1 ) for 28days in fifteen aquarium tanks (30×30×20cm 3 ). Resultant fingerlings were maintained in outdoor concrete tanks (1×1×1m 3 ) for 140days till they gained an average weight of 30g. Haematological analysis and gonad histology was done to determent the effect of the PSM on the fish. Haematological changes observed in this study did not revealed detrimental effect of feeding of PSM. However, histological evaluation of the gonads showed various degrees of deformities and tends to in- crease in severity as the levels of PMS increased. It was concluded that PSM might not affect the health status of the Nile tilapia but lead to sterility of the fish.
RANDOM DYNAMICS OF NON-AUTONOMOUS SEMI-LINEAR DEGENERATE PARABOLIC EQUATIONS ON R N DRIVEN BY AN UNBOUNDED ADDITIVE NOISE

In this paper, we study the dynamics of a non-autonomous semilinear degenerate parabolic equation on R N driven by an unbounded additive noise . The nonlinearity has ( p,q )-exponent growth and the degeneracy means that the diﬀusion coeﬃcient σ is unbounded and allowed to vanish at some points. Firstly we prove the existence of pullback attractor in L 2 ( R N ) by using a compact embedding of the weighted Sobolev space. Secondly we establish the higher-attraction of the pullback attractor in L δ ( R N ), which implies that the cocycle is absorbing in L δ ( R N ) after a translation by the complete orbit, for arbitrary δ ∈ [2 , ∞ ). Thirdly we verify that the derived L 2 -pullback attractor is in fact a compact attractor in L p ( R N ) ∩ L q ( R N ) ∩ D 1 , 2 0 ( R N ,σ ), mainly by means of the estimate of diﬀerence of solutions instead of the usual truncation method.
Asymptotic analysis of the paradox in log‐stretch dip moveout

There exists a paradox in dip moveout (DMO) in seismic data processing. The paradox is why Notfors and Godfrey's approximate time log‐stretched DMO can produce better impulse responses than the full log DMO, and why Hale's f‐k DMO is correct although it was based on two inaccurate assumptions for the midpoint repositioning and the DMO time relationship? Based on the asymptotic analysis of the DMO algorithms, we find that any form of correctly formulated DMO must handle both space and time coordinates properly in order to deal with all dips accurately. The surprising improvement of Notfors and Godfrey's log DMO on Bale and Jakubowicz's full log DMO was due to the equivalent midpoint repositioning by transforming the time‐related phase shift to the space‐related phase shift. The explanation of why Hale's f‐k DMO is correct although it was based on two inaccurate assumptions is that the two approximations exactly cancel each other in the f‐k domain to give the correct final result.
A Generalization of the Clifford Index and Determinantal Equations for Curves and Their Secant Varieties

This paper gives a geometric characterization of the Clifford index of a curve C, in terms of the existence of determinantal equations for C and its secant varieties in the bicanonical embedding. The key idea is the generalization of Shiffer deformations to Shiffer variations supported on an arbitrary effective divisor D. The definition of Shiffer variations and Clifford index is then generalized to an arbitrary very ample line bundle, L, on C. This allows one to give geometric characterizations of the generalized Clifford index in many cases. In particular it allows one to show the existence of determinantal equations for C and Sec k (C) for k < Cliff(C;L) in the embedding of C in the projective P(H 0 L 2 �_ ) . We then explain how the results can be generalized to embeddings of C in P(H 0 (L1 L2) _ ) where L1 and L2 are very ample. For line bundles of large degree this proves a conjecture of Eisenbud, Koh, and Stillman relating the existence of a determinantal presentation for Sec k (C) to deg(L).
Exploring the Gap between Instructors’ and Learners’ Preferences about Error Correction in ELT

: For successful learning, meeting the expectations of language instructors and learners is indispensable. Taking this into consideration, this study attempts to identify the preferences and expectations of adult EFL learners as to error correction. The research was carried out with 9 English instructors and 150 university students studying English at preparatory classes of Gaziantep University. Data were collected through observation, interviews with the instructors and learners as well as a questionnaire that was conducted to the both parties. The data has been analysed to identify which strategies the students perceived to be the most effective. The findings show that although the instructors and students agree on some strategies such as immediate feedback on recurring oral and written errors, they tend to be incongruous about a more frequent and immediate corrective response from the instructor as well as the learners’ role and responsibilities in correcting themselves and their peers. It is concluded that there is clear divergence of attitudes between the instructors and students on how teaching practices should be tailored to meet students’ needs and preferences. In this sense, the identification and moderation of different expectations will practically benefit both sides, reinforcing classroom teaching and learning.
Asymptotic linearity of regularity and a*-invariant of powers of ideals

Let X = Proj R be a projective scheme over a field k, and let I be an ideal in R generated by forms of the same degree d. Let Y --> X be the blowing up of X along the subscheme defined by I, and let f: Y --> Z be the projection of Y given by the divisor dH - E, where E is the exceptional divisor of the blowup and H is the pullback of a general hyperplane in X. We investigate how the asymptotic linearity of the regularity and a*-invariant of I^q (for q large) is related to invariants of fibers of f.
Expansion in $SL_d(O_K/I)$, $I$ square-free

Let S be a fixed symmetric finite subset of SL_d(O_K) that generates a Zariski dense subgroup of SL_d(O_K) when we consider it as an algebraic group over Q by restriction of scalars. We prove that the Cayley graphs of SL_d(O_K/I) with respect to the projections of S is an expander family if I ranges over square-free ideals of O_K if d=2 and K is an arbitrary numberfield, or if d=3 and K=Q.
Assessment of Copper Status in Preterm Infants: Limited Value of Assays of Erythrocyte Copper Concentration and Superoxide Dismutase Activity

Preterm infants are particularly at risk of copper deficiency but there is no method for assessing copper status in preterm infants that has been unequivocally accepted. We explored the potential value of assays of erythrocyte copper concentration and erythrocyte superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. Erythrocyte copper was measured by continuous nebulization flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry using a slotted tube atom trap. Erythrocyte SOD activity was measured by an automated method based on the inhibition of pyrogallol autoxidation. The methods gave reproducible results and the sample volumes were small. Due to the high frequency of blood transfusions, only 38% of the infants investigated had any results for erythrocyte copper or SOD that were considered to be unaffected by transfusion. Compared with adults, there appeared to be a difference in the distribution of copper in the erythrocytes of the small group of infants whose erythrocyte biochemistry was unaffected by blood transfusion. We conclude that neither erythrocyte copper nor erythrocyte SOD is likely to be of much value in assessing copper status in preterm infants.
A Study to Assess a correlation between serum amylase, lipase and Radiological imaging in patients with Acute Pancreatitis in a Tertiary care Hospital

Acute pancreatitis is one of the many complex conditions causing signi(cid:976)icant morbidity and mortality in patients. CT imaging, along with Serum Lipase and Amylase plays a vital role in the diagnosis and staging of acute pancreatitis. The purpose of this study is to compare the role of CECT and Serum Lipase and Amylase in the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. The study was done in a span of 3 months (January 2020 to March 2020) on all clinically and bio-chemically suspected cases of acute pancreatitis (study sample = 120). All these patients were subjected to CECT, and their serum Amylase, Lipase levels were checked. The most commonly affected age group in this study was 41-50 years (45.83%) with a male predominance (59.1%). Alcoholism (49.5%), Cholelithiasis (25.5%) were observed to be the most common aetiology. In conclusion, CECT plays a much better role in the identi(cid:976)ication and characterisation of acute pancreatitis than Serum Lipase and Amylase.
A complex surface of general type with $p_g=0$, $K^2=2$ and $H_1=\mathbb{Z}/4\mathbb{Z}$

We construct a new minimal complex surface of general type with $p_g=0$, $K^2=2$ and $H_1=\mathbb{Z}/4\mathbb{Z}$ (in fact $\pi_1^{\text{alg}}=\mathbb{Z}/4\mathbb{Z}$), which settles the existence question for numerical Campedelli surfaces with all possible algebraic fundamental groups. The main techniques involved in the construction are a rational blow-down surgery and a $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein smoothing theory.
Supersymmetry of the planar Dirac–Deser–Jackiw–Templeton system and of its nonrelativistic limit

The planar Dirac and the topologically massive vector gauge fields are unified into a supermultiplet involving no auxiliary fields. The super-Poincare symmetry emerges from the osp(1∣2) supersymmetry realized in terms of the deformed Heisenberg algebra underlying the construction. The nonrelativistic limit yields spin 1/2 as well as new, spin 1 “Levy–Leblond-type” equations which, together, carry an N=2 super-Schrodinger symmetry. Part of the latter has its origin in the universal enveloping algebra of the super-Poincare algebra.
The Feichtinger Conjecture and Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces

We prove two new equivalences of the Feichtinger conjecture that involve reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. We prove that if for every Hilbert space, contractively contained in the Hardy space, each Bessel sequence of normalized kernel functions can be partitioned into finitely many Riesz basic sequences, then a general bounded Bessel sequence in an arbitrary Hilbert space can be partitioned into finitely many Riesz basic sequences. In addition, we examine some of these spaces and prove that for these spaces bounded Bessel sequences of normalized kernel functions are finite unions of Riesz basic sequences.
CATASTROPHE EQUITY PUT OPTIONS UNDER STOCHASTIC VOLATILITY AND CATASTROPHE-DEPENDENT JUMPS

This paper develops a catastrophe equity put (CatEPut) option model under realistic assumptions. To reﬂect the phenomena of real data, we adopt the following assumptions. First, following the reasoning in Lin and Wang [12], we assume that the loss index follows a compound Poisson process with jumps of a mixture of Erlangs. Second, the volatility of stock return is assumed to be stochastic as in Heston [8]. Under the assumptions, we derives a pricing formula for CatEPut options. Numerical examples are given to insist that the pricing formula can be easily implemented numerically. We also conﬁrm the validity and accuracy of implementation of the pricing formula by comparing the numerical results obtained by the pricing formula with those obtained by the Monte Carlo simulation.
On the network thermodynamics of mass action chemical reaction networks

Abstract In this paper we elaborate on the mathematical formulation of mass action chemical reaction networks as recently given in van der Schaft, Rao, Jayawardhana (2012). We show how the reference chemical potentials define a specific thermodynamical equilibrium, and we discuss the port-Hamiltonian representation of the formulation. This leads to the network interpretation as a number of energy-storing elements (corresponding to the chemical complexes), together with a nonlinear energy-dissipating relation corresponding to the reactions with associated conductances for the edges of the graph of complexes. The resulting system cannot be put into standard Brayton-Moser gradient system form, but it does allow a generalized gradient system representation with respect to the Gibbs' free energy.
EAHIL Workshop, 5-8 July 2011, Istanbul, Turkey Award for the Best First-Timer Oral Presentation Keeping students engaged by simulating continuing medical education

The objective was to convert a paper-based seeking and evaluating evidence assignment to an interactive electronic format. In addition, the aim was to increase medical student engagement with the assignment by simulating a continuing medical education environment that many students will encounter in their future medical careers. The College of Family Physicians of Canada’s ePearls™ continuing medical education environment was adapted for use as a student assignment and embedded in the medical school’s learning management system. The assignment was delivered during the transitional course that bridges students’ pre-clinical and clinical experiences. All of the students had completed a similar paper based assignment within the previous two years. Students completed the interactive electronic assignment during class time. At the end of the session, students were asked to complete an electronic survey which was designed to measure their preference for the paper or electronic delivery of the assignment and whether or not the delivery in the context of a continuing medical education environment was engaging for them. 42 of the 155 students who completed the assignment also completed part or all of the online survey. Most respondents perceived the introduction to the continuing medical education environment as being helpful (86%, n=40) and expressed a preference for doing the assignment in the online format (86%, n=42). Comments indicated that students valued its clinical relevance and the opportunity to immediately practice what they had learned while still having guidance at hand. Based on these results, the Library and CHE will collaborate together to deliver subsequent information literacy instruction in this format.
Cup-products in generalized moment-angle complexes

Given a family of based CW-pairs $(\underline{X},\underline{A})=\{(X;A)\}^m_{i=1}$ together with an abstract simplicial complex $K$ with $m$ vertices, there is an associated based CW-complex $Z(K;(\underline{X},\underline{A}))$ known as a generalized moment-angle complex. The decomposition theorem of \cite{bbcg}, \cite{bbcg2} splits the suspension of $Z(K; (\underline{X}, \underline{A}))$ into a bouquet of spaces determined by the full sub-complexes of $K$. Thatdecomposition theorem is used here to describe the ring structure for the cohomology of Z(K; (\underline{X}, \underline{A})). Explicit computations are made for families of suspension pairs and for the cases where $X_i$ is the cone on $A_i$. These results complement and generalize those of Davis-Januszkiewicz, Franz, Hochster as well as Panov, and Baskakov-Buchstaber-Panov. Under conditions stated below, these theorems also apply for generalized cohomology theories.
An Analysis of the Bachelor of Science in Geology Degree as Offered in the United States

The Bachelor of Science in Geology degree is offered by nearly 300 universities and colleges in the United States. The curriculum of these degree programs is composed of three parts: core required and elective geology courses, cognate science requirements, and general education requirements. Analysis of the frequency of inclusion of courses in the required core has lead to the identification of four curricular patterns common to geology departments. Conversely, there is much more commonality in the cognate science requirements nationally in that two semesters of chemistry, physics, and calculus are required by two thirds of all Bachelor of Science programs. The structure and organization of general education requirements vary significantly as do the number of required credit hours embedded in the general education program. Analysis of the Bachelor of Science in Geology degree serves two important purposes: first, it provides a database upon which informed discussions of curricular content and accreditation standards can be made; second, it provides departments undergoing program review a basis for comparison with other institutions and national norms.

Fatty Acid and Amino Acid Profile of Indigenous Cluster Ecotypes of Kenyan Free-ranging Chicken

Food nutrition data important international ABSTRACT An experiment was conducted to determine amino acid and fatty acid profile of indigenous chicken reared in Kenya under a free range feeding system. Five cocks of each ecotype were purchased, slaughtered and transported to JKUAT and Durban University of Technology, within 12 and 24 hours respectively in an insulated box containing ice. Amino acid profile was estimated using Pico Tag by hydrolysis with acid for 24 hours, derivatized and analyzed by reverse phase HPLC. Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) were synthesized by a direct/one-step extraction transesterification method. FAME were then separated and quantified using gas chromatography. The amino acid and fatty acid profile of indigenous chicken in Kenya was affected by the ecotype as well as the part of the chicken (breast or thigh). The amino acid profile of experimental chicken revealed values higher than the RDA. The ratio of ꞷ-6:ꞷ-3 though higher than 4:1, demonstrated that the consumption of indigenous free ranging chicken meat is likely to give favourable health outcomes.
Why has not it worked? An empirical application of the extended Burns and Scapens’ framework within the implementation of a controlling department*

The aim of this study is to understand the implementation of a controlling department within Bogt and Scapens’ framework (2014) as an empirical observation mechanism towards investigating rationalities that prevented its implementation. This study was conducted in a quite successful 63-year old company in the South of Brazil. We hope these results promote practical insight to those interested in supporting changes within this field of organizational environment. There had been two main reasons leading to such work: a lack of equivalent study in the scholarly literature as well as empirical application of Burns and Scapens’ framework (2000) reorganized by Bogt and Scapens (2014). Bogt and Scapens (2014), inspired by different logics (Bogt & Scapens, 2012) and in order to revaluate their original framework (2000), suggest the introduction of a fairly important term: rationality. This new element shows the deliberate action from the organizational player – his/ her way of thinking. However, even with the introduction of rationales within the model by Bogt and Scapens (2014), rules and routines remain as important elements so that actions take shape. Used methodology consists of an interpretational case study with document analysis, direct observation, and application of semi-structured interviews. Through the interviews and discussions with individuals involved in the study, it can be observed that some rationality resulted in conflicts. Different rationales and the culture of the individual and the organization are relevant aspects observed in the speeches analyzed; all may be factors, which led to the gap within the process of implementation of controlling department in the organization. In addition, time factors suggested in the extended Bogt and Scapens’ (2014) framework is of utmost importance for changes must occur gradually.
Secondary analysis of prospective data

Objectives To establish patterns of subsequent injury in U18 rugby, to quantify the burden of within season injury recurrence. Design Main outcome measures Subsequent injuries were classified as: new, local or recurrent (same site and type as index injury). All recurrent injuries were sub-grouped by body part and diagnosis. Burden was based on frequency, days lost and injury proportion ratios. Results A total of 426 injuries were eligible for analysis, of which, 121 were subsequent injuries. The majority of subsequent injuries involved a different body part than their index injury. There were n= 23 cases of within season recurrence. 78% of recurrences occurred within 2 months of return to play. Recurrent injuries comprised 5% of all injuries and their cumulative time loss was 1073 days. Recurrent injury to the ankle ligaments, lumbar muscles and concussions carried the greatest burden. Conclusion The burden of recurrent injury in U18 rugby is lower than in the professional game. However, this population could benefit from targeted secondary prevention efforts including reconsideration of return-to-play protocols for ankle sprain, lumbar muscles and potentially concussion.

GENERALIZED RICCATI TRANSFORMATION AND OSCILLATION FOR LINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH DAMPING

Using generalized Riccati transformation, some new oscillation criteria for damped linear differential equations are established. These results improve and generalize some known oscillation criteria due to A.Wintner [8], I.V. Kamenev [10] for the undamped linear differential equations, and Sobol [3], J.S. W.Wong [1] for the damped linear differential equations.
