Scanning electron rnicroscopy of the outer and inner surface of the buccal cavity of sorne

The buccal caviry of six Mononchida was studied using a combination of dissection and extraction ro view the inner and outer structures of the buccal caviry with respect ro the surrounding tissue. The extraction of the buccal cavities was done by using a solution consisting of fl-mercapto-ethanol and sodium dodecyl sulphate. As these chemicals de nature proteins, they allowed elimination of al! surrounding tissue of the buccal caviry, making possible detailed study of its surface using Scanning Electron Microscopy. This solution offers the advantage, over the use of the hypochlorite solution, that prolonged incubation does not lead to a loss of fine derail. The extraction of the buccal caviry showed that the outer surface does contain considerable fine detail and sorne more massive structures previously unreported. The buccal caviry can be divided inro two areas : an anterior area with parallel sides and an oblique basal area. This subdivision is arbitrary but it distinguishes between the more or less straight dorsal and two ventrosublateral vertical buccal plates that may carry tee th and the bonom of the buccal caviry, formed by three oblique basal plates, curved towards the centre. The presence of completely deta~hed sroma plates (one dorsal and IWO ventrosublateral plates) and completely detached basal plates from stoma plates in AnaLOnchus lridenlalus distinguishes it from the other Mononchids studied. A possible functional explanation is discussed.
Three-dimensional motion capture for the DIET breast cancer imaging system

Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent forms of cancer in the world today. The search for effective treatment and screening methods is a highly active area of research. The Digital Image-based ElastoTomography (DIET) project is a new breast cancer screening system under development, where surface motion from the mechanically actuated breast is measured in 3D, and used as input to an inverse problem solving for breast elasticity. Cancerous lesions appear as high contrast features, being an order of magnitude stiffer than healthy tissue. The 3D motion capture is measured by an array of digital cameras using computer vision techniques. This thesis presents a complete imaging system and algorithms for the capture of 3D breast surface motion. The main components of the 3D motion capture system are the hardware and software image capture system, camera calibration, intra-image feature tracking, and 3D surface and motion reconstruction. Accurate algorithms for each of these components are developed, with a view to future development and potential modifications needed for a clinically-appropriate system. A number of the algorithms developed have potential applications outside of the DIET system. Proof of concept studies demonstrate the viability of the system, with full motion reconstruction being performed on silicone gel phantoms, designed to approximate human soft tissue, in a number of laboratory experiments.

Administration Working Papers Series : Growth and Employment in Europe : Sustainability and Competitiveness Working Paper No . 13 A CROSS-COUNTRY STUDY ONOKUN

Okun's Law postulates an inverse relationship between movements of the unemployment rate and the real gross domestic product (GDP). In this article we investigate Okun's law for 15 OECD countries and check for its the structural stability. By using data on employment and the labor force we infer whether structural instability is caused either from the demand side or the supply side. JEL-Classi cation: C51, D32.
Interactive comment on “ River inflow and retention time affecting spatial heterogeneity of chlorophyll and water – air CO 2 fluxes in a tropical hydropower reservoir ” by F . S

We also clarified the discussion about the data of CO2 fluxes. We remade the statistical analyses; we found significant differences between the spatial data of the rainy and dry seasons; between spatial and temporal data; and between seasons over the year. The significant difference is mainly explained by the large sample size (hourly data). More details and results of statistical analysis were included in the manuscript.
LOW POWER CRYPTOSYSTEM WITH KEY GENERATION UNIT

The security based applications need sensitive data transfer between different nodes or destinations. In order to increase the speed and to reduce the hardware complexity, this proposed system focuses on the VLSI implementation of light weight security algorithm such as Tiny Encryption Algorithm (TEA) which can be designed and implemented in VLSI to adapt with many real time constraints such as memory, high throughput and low delay. The additive feature of this proposed system is that it uses Key Generation Unit (KGU) to produce the random key to make it optimal for sensitive data transfer in many real-time applications. The proposed system achieved 1.5Mb/sec of throughput while compared with conventional throughput of 0.8758Mbits/sec and also the proposed system consumed 14.918ns of delay.

Susceptibility of Primary Eosinophils to Infection with HIV-1 Strain HTLV-IIIB

Marathe Jai G. M.S., Program in Microbiology and Immunology, Wright State University, 2006. Susceptibility of Primary Eosinophils to Infection with HIV-1 Strain HTLVIIIB. Over the past two decades, much research has been done in the field of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). However, many of the aspects of pathogenesis of HIV infection and its persistence in the body, despite treatment, remain a mystery. Recent evidence suggests that HIV positive patients develop eosinophilia, especially in the later stages of infection and AIDS. Eosinophils are CD4 positive cells that have the potential to be infected by HIV. Studies have shown that an eosinophilic cell line, AML14.3D10, can be productively infected with a T-cell tropic, CXCR4-using (X4) strain of HIV-1. In this study, primary human eosinophils from four healthy volunteers were shown to be susceptible to infection with a T-cell tropic, CXCR4-using (X4) strain of HIV-1, HTLV-IIIB. This data was supported by results from quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Q-PCR), which detected high HIV copy numbers in

PREFORMULATION PARAMETERS CHARACTERIZATION TO DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT AND FORMULATION OF LOXOPROFEN LOADED MICROSPHERES

The purpose of the present study was to systematically investigate some of the important physicochemical properties of loxoprofen loaded microspheres. Loxoprofen, 2-[4-(2-oxocyclopentylmethyl) phenyl]-propionate with two chiral centers, is marketed as an equal parts mixture of four stereoisomers. Loxoprofen sodium is an important non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) of the 2-arylpropionic acid group used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Almost all drugs are marketed as tablets, capsules or both. Prior to the development of these major dosage forms, it is essential that pertain fundamental physical and chemical properties of the drug molecule and other divided properties of the drug powder are determined. This information decides many of the subsequent events and approaches in formation development.A sustained release microsphere of Loxoprofen was prepared by solvent evaporation method using ethyl cellulose as coating material. So before selection of excipients, the Preformulation study of drug loxoprofen is completed for successful formulation of sustained release microspheres. Preformulation studies included solubility, pKa, dissolution, melting point, assay development, stability in Solution, stability in solid state; microscopy, bulk density, flow properties, excipient compatibility, entrapment efficiency and release profile of microspheres were investigated.
SIRE-DP-2013-85 Liquidity , moral hazard and bank crises

Bank crises, by interrupting liquidity provision, have been viewed as resulting in welfare losses. In a model of banking with moral hazard, we show that second best bank contracts that improve on autarky ex ante require costly crises to occur with positive probability at the interim stage. When bank payoffs are partially appropriable, either directly via imposition of fines or indirectly by the use of bank equity as a collateral, we argue that an appropriately designed ex-ante regime of policy intervention involving conditional monitoring can prevent bank crises.

This item is the archived preprint of: Density-dependence across dispersal stages in a hermaphrodite land snail : insights from discrete choice models Reference:

11 Dispersal movements, i.e. movements leading to gene flow, are key behaviours with 12 important, but only partially understood, consequences for the dynamics and evolution of 13 populations. In particular, density-dependent dispersal has been widely described, yet how it 14 is determined by the interaction with individual traits, and whether density effects differ 15 between the three steps of dispersal (departure, transience, and settlement), remains largely 16 unknown. Using a semi-natural landscape, we studied dispersal choices of Cornu aspersum 17 land snails, a species in which negative effects of crowding are well documented, and 18 analysed them using dispersal discrete choice models, a new method allowing to analyze 19 dispersal decisions by explicitly considering the characteristics of all available alternatives 20 and their interaction with individual traits. Subadults were more dispersive than adults, 21 confirming existing results. In addition, departure and settlement were both density22 dependent: snails avoided crowded patches at both ends of the dispersal process, and 23 subadults were more reluctant to settle into crowded patches than adults. Moreover, we found 24 support for carryover effects of release density on subsequent settlement decisions: snails 25 from crowded contexts were more sensitive to density in their subsequent immigration 26 choices. The fact that settlement decisions were informed indicates that costs of prospecting 27 are not as important as previously thought in snails, and/or that snails use alternative ways to 28 collect information, such as indirect social information (e.g., trail following). The observed 29 density-dependent dispersal dynamics may play an important role in the ability of Cornu 30 aspersum to successfully colonise frequently human-disturbed habitats around the world. 31
Extreme flow variability analysis at the Bianouan hydrometric station on the Bia River watershed (South East, Côte d'Ivoire)

Extreme flow events have had a significant impact on populations and their activities in recent decades. To reduce the impacts associated with their advent a analysis between extreme hydrological phenomena and climate variability is necessary. However, qualitative data accessing difficulties and explanatory variable definition of extremes hydrological phenomena limit extreme flows rate studies. This study proposes the analysis the variability of the floods and the low flows at the Bianouan hydrometric station. Thus, five (5) floods characteristics variables (QCX5, QXJA, F90p, F95p and F99p) and three (3) for, the low flows (VCN10, QJNA and F10p) were extracted daily flows from the Bianouan hydrometric station from 1 January1962 to 31 December 2005. The variability of these extremes has been studied by the trend analysis (linear regression) and of the stationarity (Pettitt and Hubert tests). The results show that for flood variables the negative trend is very significant and ruptures are observed in 1980. For low flow variables the negative trend is significant and the ruptures are observed in 1981. From this study, we can deduce that the ruptures observed in the rains and flows average in the end 1960s and early 1970s have affected later the extreme flows around the 1980s.
Original Research

With fresh bitter melon and green tea as main ingredients, xylitol, sucrose and citric acid as auxiliary ingredients, a new cool health tea beverage was developed. The optimum formula of low sugar bitter melon green tea compound beverage was developed by single factor experiment and orthogonal test based on sensory evaluation. The results showed that the optimum formula was as follows: Bitter melon juice was added at 7%, green tea extract was added at 20%, total xylitol and sucrose was 6% (mass ratio 1:1), citric acid was added at 0.2%, and the volume was fixed to 100% with deionized water. The product has light green color, harmonious aroma, moderate acidity and sweetness, and clear texture. The aftertaste is long, with tea polyphenol content of 342 mg/kg, soluble solids of 5.2% and pH 5.8.
The mechanisms and meteorological drivers of the summertime ozone–temperature relationship

Abstract. Surface ozone (O3) pollution levels are strongly correlated with daytime surface temperatures, especially in highly polluted regions. This correlation is nonlinear and occurs through a variety of temperature-dependent mechanisms related to O3 precursor emissions, lifetimes, and reaction rates, making the reproduction of temperature sensitivities – and the projection of associated human health risks – a complex problem. Here we explore the summertime O3–temperature relationship in the United States and Europe using the chemical transport model GEOS-Chem. We remove the temperature dependence of several mechanisms most frequently cited as causes of the O3–temperature “climate penalty”, including PAN decomposition, soil NOx emissions, biogenic volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, and dry deposition. We quantify the contribution of each mechanism to the overall correlation between O3 and temperature both individually and collectively. Through this analysis we find that the thermal decomposition of PAN can explain, on average, 20 % of the overall O3–temperature correlation in the United States. The effect is weaker in Europe, explaining 9 % of the overall O3–temperature relationship. The temperature dependence of biogenic emissions contributes 3 % and 9 % of the total O3–temperature correlation in the United States and Europe on average, while temperature-dependent deposition (6 % and 1 %) and soil NOx emissions (10 % and 7 %) also contribute. Even considered collectively these mechanisms explain less than 46 % of the modeled O3–temperature correlation in the United States and 36 % in Europe. We use commonality analysis to demonstrate that covariance with other meteorological phenomena such as stagnancy and humidity can explain the bulk of the remainder of the O3–temperature correlation. Thus, we demonstrate that the statistical correlation between O3 and temperature alone may greatly overestimate the direct impacts of temperature on O3, with implications for the interpretation of policy-relevant metrics such as climate penalty.
The Relationship between Objective Management Measures of Enterprises and Job Satisfaction: A Mediating Role of Industrial Relations Climate

This paper has investigated the relationship between objective management measures of enterprises and employees’ job satisfaction based on information processing theory, social exchange theory and organizational justice theory. We argue that the objective management measures of enterprises-measured by compliance indicators and competitive indicators compared to other companies in the same industry or region in their rules and regulations have positive effects on employees’ job satisfaction. According to the questionnaire survey of 1,334 employees from 45 enterprises located in Chengdu’s High-Tech Zone, using the method of regression analysis, we found that there exists a positive relationship between objective management measures of enterprises as well as its two dimensions (the compliance indicators and the competitive indicators) and job satisfaction, and the industrial relations climate plays an intermediary role of them. The results suggest that corporates pay more attention to perform their duties listed in company rules and regulations and provide better employment environment to enhance the job satisfaction and establish inner harmonious labour relations.

Aggressive and cannibalistic behavior of African catfish larvae: effect of different doses of methyltestosteron injecting to female broodstock and larval stocking densities

ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the effect of 17α-methyltestosterone hormone (MT) injecting to female broodstocks and stocking densities on the aggressive and cannibalistic behavior of African catfish larvae. Two-day-old post-hatching larvae were used in this experiment. Larval rearing was started at three-day-old post-hatching (body weight 0.004 ± 0.003 g and total length 0.2 ± 0.05 cm) in a 40 cm×30 cm× 25 cm rearing aquaria. This study used a completed randomized factorial design which consisted of two factors. The first factor were the larvae from females broodstocks without MT injection (0 μg/g body weight) (A), injected with MT (1 μg/g body weight) (B), and injected with MT (2 μg/g body weight) (C), while the second factor were larval stocking densities of 3.000/m2 (V1) and 6.000/m2 (V2), with three replications. The results showed that the larvae from female broodstocks injected with MT 2 μg/g body weight (C) and stocking densities 6.000/m2 (V2) increased the aggressiveness of swim and decreased cannibalism. The highest cannibalistic behavior occurred from 00.00‒06.00. Keyword: aggressiveness, cannibalism, Clarias gariepinus, methyltestosterone ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh hormon 17α-metiltestosteron (MT) yang diinjeksikan pada induk betina dan padat tebar terhadap tingkat agresivitas dan kanibalisme larva ikan lele. Ikan uji yang digunakan adalah larva berumur dua hari setelah penetasan. Pemeliharaan larva dimulai saat larva berumur tiga hari setelah penetasan (bobot tubuh 0,004 ± 0,003 g dan panjang total 0.2 ± 0.05 cm) yang dipelihara di dalam akuarium berukuran 40 cm×30 cm×25 cm. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap faktorial yang terdiri atas dua faktor. Faktor yang pertama adalah larva dari induk tanpa diinjeksi dengan hormon MT (0 μg/g bobot tubuh) (A), diinjeksi dengan hormon MT (1 μg/g bobot tubuh) (B), dan diinjeksi dengan hormon MT (2 μg/g bobot tubuh) (C), sedangkan faktor yang kedua adalah padat tebar 3.000 ekor/m² (V1) dan 6.000 ekor/m² (V2), dengan tiga kali ulangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa larva ikan lele dari induk yang diinjeksi hormon MT dosis 2 µg/g bobot tubuh dan dipelihara pada padat tebar tinggi 6.000 ekor/m² (V2) dapat meningkatkan agresivitas berenang dan menurunkan kanibalisme. Tingkat kanibalisme tertinggi terjadi pada pukul 24.00‒06.00 WIB. Kata kunci: agresivitas, kanibalisme, Clarias gariepinus, metiltestosteron
