Antiproliferative effect of Lactobacillus helveticus and gamma radiation on the mammary carcinogenesis

Immunotherapy play important role in cancer prevention and treatment. Low dose of gamma radiation also probiotics and fermented foods activate immune functions leading to tumor growth delay. This study aimed to investigate the role of milk fermented by Lactobacillus helveticus and low dose of gamma irradiation (0.25 Gy) in the protection and treatment of mammary tumor cells. Fifty six female rats were divided into 7 groups (n=8): Group 1: control, Group 2: received fermented milk with L. helveticus (FM), group 3: whole body rats exposed to gamma radiation, group 4: rats i.p. injected with 17β-estradiol (E2), group 5: rats received FM for 15 days, then injected with E2 and continued receiving FM, group 6: rats exposed to gamma radiation and injected with E2, group 7: rats received FM for 15 days, exposed to gamma radiation and injected with E2 while receiving FM. The results of this study showed that E2 induced negative effects on immune and antioxidant parameters, showed a reduction in CD4, CD8 count, GSH level, GPx, CAT and SOD activities as well as an increase in the proliferation marker Ki-67. In addition, hyperplasia appeared in the histological examinations of mammary tissue epithelium. Milk fermented by L. helveticus and combined treatment of fermented milk and low dose of gamma radiation significantly increased CD4 and CD8 count, ameliorated GSH level, GPx, CAT and SOD activities and reduced ki-67% , showing normal histological mammary gland tissue compared to the control. This study demonstrated the immunoregulatory, antioxidant capacity of milk fermented by L. helveticus and low dose of gamma radiation in preventing carcinogenic effect of E2 on breast tissue and restoration tissue of histological texture.
THE MOLECULAR OUTFLOWS IN THE ρ OPHIUCHI MAIN CLOUD: IMPLICATIONS FOR TURBULENCE GENERATION

We present the results of CO (J = 3 − 2) and CO (J = 1 − 0) mapping observations toward the active cluster-forming clump, L1688, in the ρ Ophiuchi molecular cloud. From the CO (J = 3 − 2) and CO (J = 1 − 0) data cubes, we identify five outflows, whose driving sources are VLA 1623, EL 32, LFAM 26, EL 29, and IRS 44. Among the identified outflows, the most luminous outflow is the one from the prototypical Class 0 source, VLA 1623. We also discover that the EL 32 outflow located in the Oph B2 region has very extended blueshifted and redshifted lobes with wide opening angles. This outflow is most massive and has the largest momentum among the identified outflows in the CO (J = 1 − 0) map. We estimate the total energy injection rate due to the molecular outflows identified by the present and previous studies to be about 0.2 L☉, larger than or at least comparable to the turbulence dissipation rate [≈(0.03 − 0.1)L☉]. Therefore, we conclude that the protostellar outflows are likely to play a significant role in replenishing the supersonic turbulence in this clump.
Classification of Transmission Line Faults Using Wavelet Transform

Wavelet transform technique is a robust and versatile method to analyze non-stationary,non-periodic wide band signal such as transient signal. Wavelet transform which is new tool for caballing both time and frequency information simultaneously. The suitable wavelet for analysing power system transients is Daubechies(Db) wavelets. This paper focused on transmission line faults classification using wavelet analysis. The different faults in the transmission line (TL) are detected and classified using fault classification algorithm based on wavelet MRA(Multi resolution technique) technique.

Constructing Risk and Avoiding Need: Findings from Interviews with Social Workers and Police Officers Involved in Safeguarding Work with Migrant Children

Previous research illustrates the lack of services and provision for the needs of migrant children; assessments of needs in the early stage of their arrival into the UK have previously been advocated. This paper reports on a qualitative study with officials in agencies working with children at a UK port of entry. Along with a sense of isolation and fragmentation between those agencies involved in this work, there were clear tensions between the safeguarding agendas and practices of the agencies involved. Analysis of interviews with social workers and police officers suggests that there was a lack of confidence and trust between agencies and in multi-agency approaches to safeguarding children entering the UK. Assessment approaches tend to be risk orientated at the expense of being culturally attuned and children’s rights focused. These findings are discussed together with recommendations for further research.

The Effect of Illiquidity on Capital Gain: Evidence from Iran

Illiquidity is the characteristic of small and emerging markets and analysis of capital gain is very important in these markets due to short horizon of its investors. This paper intends to investigate the effects of illiquidity on capital gain in Iran market. Beside illiquidity factor, market, size, value and momentum factors are also considered. The results show a negative relation between illiquidity and capital gain. Findings indicate that adding illiquidity measure somewhat can cover the market factor effects and four-factor model which includes market, liquidity, size and value factors is the best model to explain the capital gain, while the momentum factor is not found to be priced.
DYNAMO – II. Coupled stellar and ionized-gas kinematics in two low-redshift clumpy discs

We study the spatially resolved stellar kinematics of two star-forming galaxies at z ⇠ 0.1 from the larger DYnamics of Newly Assembled Massive Objects (DYNAMO) sample. These galaxies, which have been characterized by high levels of star formation and large ionized gas velocity dispersions, are considered possible analogs to high-redshift clumpy disks. They were observed using the GMOS instrument in integral field spectroscopy (IFS) mode at the Gemini Observatory with high spectral resolution (R'5400, equivalent to '24 km s 1 at the observed wavelengths) and ⇠ 6 hour exposure times in order to measure the resolved stellar kinematics via absorption lines. We also obtain higher-quality emission line kinematics than previous observations. The spatial resolution (1.2 kpc) is sucient to show that the ionized gas in these galaxies (as traced by H emission) is morphologically irregular, forming multiple giant clumps while stellar continuum light is smooth and well described by an exponential profile. Clumpy gas morphologies observed in IFS data are confirmed by complementary narrow band H↵ imaging from the Hubble Space Telescope. Morphological di↵erences between the stars and ionized gas are not reflected dynamically as stellar kinematics are found the be closely coupled to the kinematics of the ionized gas: both components are smoothly rotating with large velocity dispersions (⇠ 40 km s 1 ) suggesting that the high gas dispersions are not primarily driven by star-formation feedback. In addition, the stellar population ages of these galaxies are estimated to be quite young (60-500 Myr). The large velocity dispersions measured for these young stars suggest that we are seeing the formation of thick disks and/or stellar bulges in support of recent models which produce these from clumpy galaxies at high redshift.

Preliminary biodata and growth parameters of Odaxothrissa mento in the lower Cross River, southeast Nigeria.

The population dynamics of Odaxothrissa mento in the lower Cross River, southeast Nigeria, were obtained from a six month length composition data (4.25-14.75 cm TL; mean = 5.91 cm ± 1.02; and 0.71-7.36 g; 1.62 g ± 1.24; n = 1012). The length-weight relationship of the species indicated isometric growth (b = 3.005; r = 0.9623). Three year classes with mean lengths of 7.4 cm, 11.55 cm and 13.3 cm TL, respectively, were identified. The von Bertalanffy exponential growth parameters were estimated as: asymptotic length (L∞) = 13.7 cm TL, growth curvature (K) = 1.48 year -1 and length-at- age zero years, t0 = - 0.13; Lo = 2.40 cm TL. The estimated growth performance index, φ' = 2.444 based on length and φ = 0.6833, using weight. The computed total mortality, Z = 2.54 year -1 , natural mortality, M = 1.58 year -1 and fishing mortality, F was 0.96 year -1 . Results indicate the fishery is lightly exploited with current exploitation ratio, Ecur = 0.38 < Eopt = 0.5; rate of exploitation, μ = 0.3481 year -1 < Ecur, 35% of the available stock being fished annually; corroborated by Z/K ratio (< 2) and M/K = 2.08, indicating environmental stability. The length-at-first capture Lc = 5.64 cm TL at age 1.7 yr. The fish was yet to complete 50-55% of growth as at the time of capture at Lc, L25 and L75 compared to L, hence, Lopt = 10.1 cm TL, provides least impact on the stock. This finding serves as baseline for management of O. mento and clupeids/small-sized fish species in the lower Cross River and tropical
CONSERVATION OF PERIPHERAL PLANT POPULATIONS IN CALIFORNIA

ABSTRACT The conservation of peripheral plant populations is paradoxical. Populations occurring on the edge of a species' range tend to be smaller, more isolated, and more genetically and ecologically divergent than central populations. The combination of these characteristics can impart novel evolutionary potential and local ecological significance, thus heightening their conservation value, while also making them less viable and more prone to local extinction. Public policy supports the conservation of peripheral populations, despite the commonness of the species elsewhere. However, the conservation of significant peripheral populations of nonlisted plants has been arbitrary and ineffective. The absence of explicit criteria to determine the conservation value of peripheral plant populations, the lack of finer-scale data on plant distributions, and a general unawareness of their value have hindered efforts to conserve them. We review the conservation value of peripheral plant populations and, using California as an example, describe regulatory methods to improve their conservation. We also propose a scheme to assess a population's conservation value.
Structural characterizations of lead anticancer compounds from the methanolic extract of Jatropha tanjorensis

LC/ESI/MS/MS data analysis on the phytoconstituents of methanolic extract of Jatropha tanjorensis leaves revealed the presence of abundant flavone glucosides (homoorientin, kaempferol-3-o-rutinoside, luteolin-7-o-glucoside, 6-C-pentosyl-8-C-hexosyl apigenin, naringin and vitexin), flavonol (kaempferol and kaempferide) and flavones (baicalein and diosmetin). We, herein, demonstrated that methanolic extract of J. tanjorensis possess DPPH free-radical scavenging activity (IC 50 of 49.7 µg/mL), inhibition of lipid peroxidation activity (IC 50 of 189.6 µg/mL) and anticancer activity through MTT assay against EAC cells (IC 50 of 14.57 µg/mL) and Caco-2 cells (IC 50 of 21.0 µg/mL). In silico analysis indicated that cytotoxic activity of the methanolic extract of J. tanjorensis could be attributed to the presence of vitexin and 6-C-pentosyl-8-C-hexosyl apigenin as evidenced by exhaustive molecular docking studies carried out against 8 proteins of Bcl-2 family that play essential role in apoptosis. Moreover, drug-likeness properties of the leads and scopes to develop them as potent anticancer compounds are discussed. DOI: http://dx.doi. org/10.3329/bjp.v9i4. 19771
On two theorems of Phragmén-Lindelöf for linear elliptic and parabolic differential equations of the second order.

In § 2, Theorem 0 is proved for elliptic equations defined in any 2dimensional domains (Theorems 1, 2). The case n>2 is treated in §3, for domains contained in a half space. In § 4 we consider the behavior of solutions in an angular neighborhood of the origin, and we obtain results similar to those of §§2, 3. In §§5, 6, generalizations to parabolic equations are given: Theorems 7, 9 extend the classic PhragmenLindelof Theorem and Theorems 8, 10 extend Theorem 0.
Sheltered Authorized Deduplication In Hybrid Cloud Design

As per current trends users prefer cloud to store their personnel as well as data which they want to share with other. In case of such data storage system some time same type of data is stored by different users. This data duplication causes inefficiency in cloud storage as well as utilization of bandwidth. To make cloud more sensible regarding its storage and bandwidth some techniques are proposed. Data de-duplication is one of the recent technologies / techniques in cloud storage in current market trends that avoid such data duplication caused by privileged as well as non-privileged user. It enables companies, organizations to save a lot of money on data storage, on bandwidth to transact data when replicating it offsite for disaster recovery. The main theme of this paper is to provide sheltered (secure) authorized deduplication. Deduplication is one of the data compression techniques for eliminating duplicate copies of repeating data. We also present several new deduplication techniques supporting authorized duplicate check scheme in hybrid cloud architecture. By using security analysis, we secure our data by implementing a prototype of our proposed authorized duplicate check scheme and conduct test based experiments using our prototype. We will show that our authorized duplicate check scheme incurs minimal overhead compared to convergent encryption and network transfer. It is limited to a specific generic group. In future we can provide complete security using Cipher text-Policy Attribute Encryption algorithm which is not limited to specific group.

The influence of gas-particle partitioning and surface-atmosphere exchange on ammonia during BAQS-Met

Abstract. The Border Air Quality and Meteorology study (BAQS-Met) was an intensive field campaign conducted in Southwestern Ontario during the summer of 2007. The focus of BAQS-Met was determining the causes of the formation of ozone and fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ), and of the regional significance of trans-boundary transport and lake breeze circulations on that formation. Fast (1 Hz) measurements of ammonia were acquired using a Quantum Cascade Laser Tunable Infrared Differential Absorption Spectrometer (QC-TILDAS) at the Harrow supersite. Measurements of PM 2.5 ammonium, sulfate and nitrate were made using an Ambient Ion Monitor Ion Chromatograph (AIM-IC) with hourly time resolution. The median mixing ratio of ammonia was 2.5 ppb, with occasional high spikes at night resulting from local emissions. Measurements were used to assess major local emissions of NH 3 , diurnal profiles and gas-particle partitioning. The measurements were compared with results from A Unified Regional Air-quality Modelling System (AURAMS). While the fraction of total ammonia (NH x ≡NH 3 + NH 4 + ) observed in the gas phase peaks between 0.1 and 0.8, AURAMS tended to predict fractions of either less than 0.05 or greater than 0.8. The model frequently predicted acidic aerosol, in contrast with observations wherein NH x almost always exceeded the observed equivalents of sulfate. One explanation for our observations is that the net flux of ammonia from the land surface to the atmosphere increases when aerosol sulfate is present, effectively buffering the mixing ratio of gas phase ammonia, a process not included in the model. A simple representation of an offline bi-directional flux parameterization using the ISORROPIA thermodynamic model was successful at reducing the population of zero gas fraction points, but not the higher gas fraction points.
Varied climatic and topographic influences on Late Pleistocene mountain glaciation in the western United States

The timing of Late Pleistocene mountain glacier fluctuations varied widely across the western United States. Glaciers in the maritime Olympic Mountains reached local maxima 125–60 ka and 34–31 ka, and were far less extensive during the global Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Glaciers in the Cascade Mountains showed a similar general pattern but with contrasts in detailed timing. Most mountain glacier systems further inland exhibited maximum ice extent during Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 2. In the Wallowa, Wind River, and possibly the Sawtooth Mountains, maximum ice extent occurred ca. 20–23 ka. Mountain glacier systems of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet (Puget Lobe), greater Yellowstone region and Uinta Mountains reached maximum extent ca. 19–16 ka, and those in the Wallowa, Sawtooth and Wind River Ranges were at near‐maximum positions ca. 17 ka. The variable timing of maximum and near‐maximum ice advances appears to be related to climatic setting and glacier mass balance characteristics. Mountain glacier systems under the strongest maritime influences reached maximum extent at times of strong westerly atmospheric flow. Olympic and Cascades glaciers appear to have been negatively influenced by weakened westerly flow at the time of the global LGM, perhaps associated with ice‐sheet‐induced anticyclonic flow. Glacier systems with maximum advances correlative with the global LGM appear to have responded more strongly to depressed temperature. The ca. 17 ka ice advances of several glacier systems are broadly correlative with Heinrich Event 1 in the North Atlantic region, and imply a cooling event and reinvigoration of moisture transport into the region. Post‐LGM advances of Uinta Mountain glaciers appear to have arisen from moisture influences of pluvial Lake Bonneville. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
