Cluster biodiversity as a multidimensional structure evolution strategy: checkerspot butterflies of the group Euphydryas aurinia (Rottemburg, 1775) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

In the present paper, we explore the evolution of cluster structure in closely related species in the Euphydryas aurinia complex based on morphological (wing pattern, genital armatures) and molecular (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I) characters. Male genitalia differ in the length and shape of the uncus, harpe and juxta branches, by the shape of some parts of the phallus, and by the amount of spikes on the ventral section of the valva. The main trends in the vertical distribution of the E. aurinia group are dwarfism with increasing altitude, coupled with enlargement of paler and darker‐coloured elements of the wing pattern, increasing the overall contrast. Unlike the Euphydryas maturna, the E. aurinia complex forms many local populations specialized under different ecological conditions, probably affected by different evolutionary scenarios. The phylogenetic analysis of the group reveals two ecologically distinct subgroups: one associated with the boreal forest‐mesophyllic meadow biome and one associated with the xeromesophyllic steppe biome. Within each group, two major ecological strategies have evolved in parallel: montane and lowland. Based on the results of the analyses, we revise the nomenclature as follows: E. aurinia pyrenesdebilis (Verity, 1928), stat. rev. (= debilis Oberthür, 1909, syn.n., nomen nudum), E. aurinia bulgarica (Fruhstorfer, 1916), stat. rev., E. aurinia provincialis (Boisduval, 1828), stat. rev. and E. beckeri (Lederer, 1853), stat. rev. The following name‐bearing types are designated: neotype of Papilio aurinia Rottemburg, 1775, neotype of Papilio merope de Prunner, 1798, lectotype of Melitaea beckeri Lederer, 1853, and lectotype of Melitaea aurinia banghaasi Seitz, 1908. All name‐bearing types are figured. A new subspecies, Euphydryas laeta ostracon Korb, Bolshakov, Fric, ssp.n. , is described (type locality by holotype data: Kazakhstan, Vostochno‐Kazakhstanskaya Oblast, Shemonaikha).

Does Intravenous or Intraarticular Tranexamic Acid (TXA) Reduce Joint Bleeding Following Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction and Arthroscopic Meniscectomy? Can Intraarticular Use be Harmful to Chondrocytes?

Arthroscopic knee surgery to perform partial meniscectomy and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is frequent and effective, although a possible complication is postoperative intra-articular bleeding. When this complication occurs, in addition to the associated pain, the patient usually requires an arthrocentesis to avoid loss of joint mobility. Sometimes this problem ends up associated with a poor result of surgery due to loss of knee mobility. Therefore, recently, the use of tranaexamic acid (TXA) has been considered in order to reduce postoperative bleeding and its potential associated complications.

Physiological Mechanisms of Increased Stress Resistance in Drosophila melanogaster Selected for Postponed Senescence

Postponed senescence in Drosophila melanogaster is associated with increased adult resistance to starvation, desiccation, and ethanol vapor. Flies from postponed-senescence populations were compared to flies from control populations with respect to age-specific respiration rate, activity level, and total lipid content. Females from control (short-lived) populations exhibited greater respiration rates and activity levels than did flies from postponed-senescence populations when young. At older ages, there were no differences in respiration rates, and females from postponed-senescence populations were more active than control-population females. The age-specific trends and patterns of differences in respiration rate and activity do not appear to explain the previously observed differences and trends in starvation, desiccation, and ethanol-vapor resistance. Females from postponed-senescence populations had greater proportional lipid content than did females from control populations over the range of ages examined. Lipid content increased with age for both types of populations. Age-specific trends and differences in lipid content appear to explain satisfactorily the increase in starvation resistance with age for females of all populations as well as the greater starvation resistance of females from the postponed-senescence populations.
EVALUATION OF HERBACEOUS RANGE PLANTS IN EARLY AND LATE RAINY SEASON IN PROTECTED AND OPEN SITES AT BUTANA AREA (ELHWATA) â€“ SUDAN

A study was conducted in 2009 to estimate the dry weight yield and nutritive value of grasses and forbs at Butana area. Dry weight of forbs and grasses were higher in late season than in early season. Dry weight of forbs in the protected site was higher than in open site, while the opposite occurred for grasses. Forbs percentages in both protected and open site were higher than that of grasses. Crude protein (CP) in forbs decreased due to maturity from 22.4% to 20.2% in early rainy season and from 22.6% to 17.1% in late rainy season in open and protected site respectively. However, CP content of grasses for the same periods and site were 14.8% and 13.3 %, and 17.4% and 14.4%. CP content of pasture decreased and ash content increased (P<0.001) with increasing maturity of plants. NDF in forbs ranged from 53% to 43.1% and from 44.1% to 48%, ADF varied from 49% to 42.2% and from 46.1% to 45.3% and ADL ranged from 19.2 % to 15.7% and from 12.8 to 17.5% in early and late period of season in open and protected sites, respectively. Increases in NDF, ADF and ADL in early season in open site may be due to selective grazing of animals while in late season in protected site particularly ADL 17.5% might be due to maturity lignifications. NDF and ADF in grasses were higher than in forbs while ADL was lower. The study confirmed that animals prefer forbs to grasses as indicated by the decrease of forbs in open site compared with that of protected site.
The odd chromatic index of almost all graphs

An odd coloring of a graph G is an assignment of colors to the edges of G in a way that each vertex is incident to either zero or an odd number of edges of each color. The minimum number of colors needed in such a coloring is called the odd chromatic index of G, and it is denoted by χo(G). This notion was introduced by Pyber, who showed that χo(G) ≤ 4 holds for every graph G. In this paper, we show that almost every graph on an even (resp. odd) number of vertices satisfies χo(G) = 2 (resp. χ ′ o(G) = 3).

Application of the Nursing Process: A Phenomenological Study of Registered Nurses Experiences at a District Hospital in Ghana

The nursing process is a universal concept which forms the bedrock for nursing practice and has been widely accepted as a scientific tool and an approach to guide nursing practice to promote quality of nursing care. Effectively applying the process is essential to realizing the high quality of nursing care and better health outcomes for clients. However, its use is reported to be low and incomplete in most settings notwithstanding its importance in client management. The study explored the perceptions and utilization of the nursing process in clinical practice at the War Memorial Hospital in Navrongo. A qualitative study design was used to explore the experiences of registered nurses. A purposive sampling method was used to recruit12 registered nurses as participants for the in-depth interviews and focus group discussion. Records were also reviewed to gather data for the study. The finding of the study indicates that participants perceive the nursing process as a scientific process and a tool useful to the work of nurses. The nursing process was not systematically used in the facility owing to some constrains.
Variation of the Motility and Ultrastructure of the Frozen-thawed Sperms in Teleost,Pseudosiaena crocea(Richardson)

The sperms of the teleost,Pseudosiaena crocea(Richardson) were cryopreserved with glycerol as a cryoprotectant.Frozen-thawed sperm's motility and ultrastructure were observed.Insemination was performed with the frozen-thawed semen to investigate the fertilization ability of cryopreserved sperms.The result showed that the motility of the cryopreserved sperms was as high as(83.1±6.2)%. The quite high fertilization rate(71.5±11.6)% was obtained with cryopreserved semen.When compared to the control,both the motility and fertilization rate showed difference(P0.05). Part of the frozen-thawed sperm's ultrastructure showed abnormal.The deformation rate of the frozen-thawed sperms was as high as 29.3%(P0.01). The common deformation in the sperm's ultrastructure was swelling or break of the plasma membrane,disappearance of the nuclear envelope,degeneration of the chromatin,disappearance of the mitochondrial ridges,and fracture of the axoneme.The ultrastructural abnomality might be the main reason for the decline of the motility and fertilization in the cryopreserved sperm.
The morphology and physiology of bacteriophages as revealed by the electron microscope.

The electron microscope can reveal details of both the infective process and the morphology of bacteriophages. Various standard specimen‐preparation methods are available for these studies: negative staining is the most valuable method for morphological aspects and the sectioning of bacteria for studying intracellular multiplication. Phages fall into six distinct morphological groups. Detailed examination of these reveals a variety of forms showing variations within each group. All phages have one thing in common, the possession of symmetry; the heads have recognisable geometrical shapes and the tails, when present, possess morphological subunits usually clearly arranged in a regular fashion.Phage morphology is important not only as a fundamental characteristic, but also as a major criterion for taxonomic purposes. However, some phages, which are morphologically similar, can infect bacterial hosts in different genera or families so that additional criteria such as host range have to be used in considering a possible system for the classification of bacteriophages.The electron microscope is particularly suitable for providing information about the adsorption and intracellular multiplication stages of the infective process. Shadowing and negative staining show that tailed phages adsorb tail first, and that tail‐less ribonucleic acid phages attach to bacterial fimbriae in large numbers. Sections of infected bacteria reveal cytological changes within the cell during intracellular multiplication.In addition, the electron microscope can be used to investigate the natural habitats of phages. In one of these a particle with an unusual “life cycle” was found associated with the genus Bacillus. It normally exists in the prophage state in a lysogenic host. It is active on indicator strains, but only kills them and cannot multiply within them.These various aspects are reviewed in detail with particular reference to information provided by the electron microscope.
Mechanisms Involved In Organic Solvent Resistance in Gram-Negative Bacteria

The high world interest given to the researches concerning the study of moderately halophilic solvent-tolerant bacteria isolated from marine polluted environments is due to their high biotechnological potential, and also to the perspective of their application in different remediation technologies. Using enrichment procedures, I isolated two moderately halophilic Gram-negative bacterial strains from seawater sample, which are tolerant to organic solvents. Cell tolerance, adhesion and cells viability of Aeromonas salmonicida IBBCt2 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa IBBCt3 in the presence of organic solvents depends not only on its physicochemical properties and its concentration, but also on the specific response of the cells, and the cellular response is not the same for these bacterial strains. n-hexane, n-heptane, propylbenzene, with log POW between 3.69 and 4.39, were less toxic for Aeromonas salmonicida IBBCt2 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa IBBCt3, compared with toluene, styrene, xylene isomers and ethylbenzene, with log POW between 2.64 and 3.17. The results indicated that Aeromonas salmonicida IBBCt2 is more susceptible to organic solvents than Pseudomonas aeruginosa IBBCt3. The mechanisms underlying solvent tolerance (e.g., the existance of the efflux pumps) in Aeromonas salmonicida IBBCt2 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa IBBCt3 it was also studied. Keywords—bacteria, mechanisms, organic solvent, resistance.
Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE) of Phytochemicals with Response Surface Methodology (RSM) in Curcuma Xanthorrhiza

The genus Curcuma from the Zingiberaceae family consists of 80 species is widely recognized for its culinary and pharmaceutical application and has a significant effect on medicine, food, cosmetic industries, and economic. Considering an eco-friendly extraction method that provides the efficiency of the extraction, it is great of interest to explore the best optimum condition of parameters used in the extraction. This research is carried out to optimize the ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) of the extract from C. xanthorrhiza via Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Box-Behnken design (BBD) is used with three variables: extraction time (5-20 min), temperature (30-50°C) and liquid-solid ratio (6-10 mL/g). In the extracts, xanthorrhizol and curcumin are quantified using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography combined with a diode array detector. The optimum condition of yield and concentration of xanthorrhizol are found at the extraction temperature of 50°C, time 20 minutes, and liquid-solid ratio8 mL/g. However, the optimum condition of curcumin is found at the extraction temperature 30°C, time 12.50 minutes, and 10 mL/g liquid-solid ratio. This research recommended that the ultrasound-assisted extraction method under specific parameters has favorable potential to be used in the extraction process which is useful for advanced research.
Ultrasonic Measurement of Elastic Moduli at Elevated Temperatures, using Momentary Contact

The elastic moduli of several materials have been determined by momentarily coupling 1‐mc/sec longitudinal‐ and shear‐wave pulses through a sample, and measuring the transit time. The temperature range has been from room temperature to beyond 1000°C. Measurement of longitudinal and shear‐wave velocity is accurate to about 1%, permitting the moduli and Poisson's ratio to be computed to a comparable accuracy. Comparison of results with published data for 4340 steel, fused‐quartz, and aluminum 6061‐T6 is excellent up to the highest temperatures at which data are available. The test sample is a cylinder five wavelengths in diameter by several inches long. Dimensional requirements are easily met. Accordingly, sample preparation and moduli determinations are relatively simple. Momentary coupling of longitudinal waves is achieved by employing a suitable couplant. Shear waves are coupled dry by using special probes. At room temperature, these probes have been used to measure shear‐wave velocity in copper, aluminu.

Material and method: sixty specimens of chemically activated acrylic resin were fabricated and contaminated in vitro by inoculum of Candida sp. (ATCC 10231). Twenty specimens from each group were immersed in the following disinfecting agents: Peracetic acid, Chlorhexidine and Sodium perborate. The contaminated specimens were immersed in the disinfecting solution for 10 mins. After disinfection, suspensions were prepared of each group. Plating was performed on Sabraud’s Dextrose agar culture medium and incubated at 37 o C for 48 hrs. Bacterial growth was observed by analyzing the number of colony forming units (CFU) after incubation. Values of each group were statistically compared. Results: The results showed that colony forming units were less on decontamination by Peracetic acid as compared to Chlorhexidine and Sodium perborate . Conclusion: Immersion for atleast 10 min in 5% peracetic acid promoted high-level disinfection of the acrylic resins.
Improvement of performance of anti-cancer (dacarbazine) drug sensor utilizing tetraphenylborate anion

A sensor for dacarbazine, an anticancer drug denoted DAC, is presented. A dacarbazine-modified carbon paste electrode was fabricated and improved by incorporation of sodium tetraphenylborate as an additive. Dacarbazine– phosphotungstate, a salt of dacarbazine abbreviated DAC-PT, was used in a carbon paste electrode as an ion-pair. Incorporation of sodium tetraphenylborate abbreviated STPB as an additive distinctly improved the slope from 43.7±0.3 to 55.6±0.3 mV per decade of DAC ion. The present electrode exhibits linearly over a wide concentration range from 1.80 × 10-6 to 1.0 × 10-2 M with a notably small detection limit of 8.9 × 10-7 M in a significantly fast response time (~ 5 s). These measurements are independent of the pH of the test solution in the pH range 3.2 to 9.5. The present sensor has distinct selectivity toward the drug ion over other common inorganic ions, sugars, amino acids, and drugs. This sensor was satisfactorily used as an indicator in potentiometric titrations and determination of dacarbazine in pharmaceutical preparations and urine samples.

Grid Search Tuning of Hyperparameters in Random Forest Classifier for Customer Feedback Sentiment Prediction

Text classification is a common task in machine learning. One of the supervised classification algorithm called Random Forest has been generally used for this task. There is a group of parameters in Random Forest classifier which need to be tuned. If proper tuning is performed on these hyperparameters, the classifier will give a better result. This paper proposes a hybrid approach of Random Forest classifier and Grid Search method for customer feedback data analysis. The tuning approach of Grid Search is applied for tuning the hyperparameters of Random Forest classifier. The Random Forest classifier is used for customer feedback data analysis and then the result is compared with the results which get after applying Grid Search method. The proposed approach provided a promising result in customer feedback data analysis. The experiments in this work show that the accuracy of the proposed model to predict the sentiment on customer feedback data is greater than the performance accuracy obtained by the model without applying parameter tuning.
