A combined pathway of sulfur compound disproportionation in Desulfovibrio desulfuricans

The fates of the two different sulfur atoms of the thiosulfate molecule during anaerobic disproportionation by the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio desulfuricans were followed by isotope mass spectrometry. During disproportionation, 32S-thiosulfate was preferentially metabolized, and the residual thiosulfate became enriched in 34S. The sulfate formed was isotopically heavier than the inner sulfur of the consumed thiosulfate. Vice versa, the sulfide formed was isotopically lighter than the outer sulfur of the consumed thiosulfate. These results indicate that thiosulfate is cleaved to intermediates that undergo further disproportionation to sulfate and sulfide in a second step. These intermediates are probably elemental sulfur and sulfite. It is concluded that disproportionation of thiosulfate, sulfite and elemental sulfur includes a combined pathway.

Feeding and movement of Anguilla australis and A. reinhardtii in Macleods Morass, Victoria, Australia

Feeding and movement of Anguitta australis Richardson, and A. reinhardtii Steindachner, were studied in Macleods Morass, Gippsland, Victoria from July 1975 to March 1977. Stomach fullness varied seasonally. Both species ingested a wide range of items with teleosts and insects forming the major group for A. australis and teleosts the major group for A. reinhardtii, which fed on a narrower range of items. No relationship between size of items ingested and size of eel was evident. Kendall rank correlation coefficients indicate that both intraspecific and interspecific differences in diets due to seasonal and size variations were usually insignificant. Tagged eels were recaptured at the overall rate of 18·5 %; of 1051 eels released, a total of 194 eels was recaptured. Maximum linear distance travelled by two eels was 3715 m while maximum days at liberty was 643 days. Home range was in the order of 400m. No relationship between length of a tagged individual and days liberty or with distance moved was evident. Movement was closely related to fluctuations of water temperature with peaks being associated with feeding in the littoral zone of the Morass.
Impact of a New Silicate-Based Capping Material on Healing Potentiality of Traumatically Exposed Healthy Dog's Dental Pulp

The aim of the current study was to evaluate the impact of a new silicate-based capping material on healing potential of traumatically exposed healthy dog's dental pulp. Materials and Methods: Two pulp capping materials were evaluated in this study; Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), and Five mineral oxides (5MO). Glass ionomer as overlying restorative material. Six adult healthy dogs with intact permanent dentition were selected for the study. A total of sixteen anterior teeth were used in each dog. Both pulp capping materials were used in the same dog. Class V cavities were prepared on the teeth. After pulp exposure, the pulp capping materials were applied directly to the exposed pulp. All cavities were sealed with glass ionomer restorative material. The used six dogs were divided into two groups; three dogs each, according to the capping periods to 7 days and 90 days. At the end of each period the dogs were sacrificed by injecting an overdose of pentobarbital sodium. Teeth were separated from bone with immediate sectioning of their roots in the mid-way between cementoenamel junction and apex. The teeth were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin. Then the teeth were demineralized in Morse's solution (50% formic acid and 20% sodium citrate) for 3 months. In the last, the teeth were embedded in paraffin wax and serially sectioned buccolingually and stained with hematoxylin-eosin. The specimens were examined under optical light microscope to estimate the amount of pulp inflammation and dentin bridge formation at the interface of the capping materia

Physiological energetics of brooding in Chilean oyster Ostrea chilensis

The physiology of brooding and non-brooding individuals of Lhe Chilean oyster Ostrea chilensis Philippi was compared. In this species, reproduction occurs once per year, dunng spring and early summer. The brooding period lasts approximately 7 to 8 wk, during which time larvae Live in the infrabranchial chamber of the brooder. In the experiments described here, broodlng resulted in significant decreases in the rates of particle clearance, ingestion, faeces production and excretion, although there was no difference in oxygen uptake between brooding and non-brooding oysters. Brooders partially compensated for reduced food intake by increasing absorption efficiency. The scope for growth was inuch lower in brooding oysters than in non-brooders, largely as a result of the reduced clearance rate of the brooders. The cost of brooding was 6 to 7 J h-'. ~Lleat weight decreased during the brooding process After the larvae were l~berated, the clearance rate of the brooder increased, reaching values close to those obtained for non-brooding Chilean oysters
Isolation of disease resistance gene analogs from Italian Ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.)

Large-scale sequencing of disease resistance gene analogs (RGA) in Italian ryegrass was carried out using degenerate primers and a nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) strategy. A total of 24 000 PCR clones were subjected to single pass sequencing to enable similarity searches of public databases. As a result, 9344 clones showed significant levels of homology to either known resistance genes or RGA derived from other plant species. These clones were grouped into 115 clusters based on nucleotide sequence similarities and representative clones were selected from each cluster. Of 115 representative clones, 62 had a continuous open reading frame and were defined as potentially functional RGA from Italian ryegrass. Specific sequenced tag site (STS) primer sets were designed for these 62 clones and 50 RGA sequences were subsequently amplified from genomic DNA of Italian ryegrass in one step PCR. A subset of these STS primers could also amplify the expected size PCR products from genomic DNA of tall fescue and meadow fescue, both of which are forage crops closely relate to Italian ryegrass.

VALORIZATION OF RED GRAPE (VITIS VINIFERA CV. SANGIOVESE) POMACE AS FUNCTIONAL FOOD INGREDIENT

The winemaking process generates large amounts of by-products that are still a potential source of bioactive compounds to be used as functional food ingredients. This study is aimed to develop a cow milk kefir fortified with Sangiovese red grape pomace. The phenolic extracts of skins and seeds, which were obtained after infusion and ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), were rich in (+)-catechin (105.0±147.0 mg/L) and (-) epicatechin (76.0±364.0 mg/L) based on HPLC-DAD analysis. The UAE-derived skin extracts were selected for their best antioxidant effectiveness and incorporated into kefir, whose functional properties have been investigated through spectrophotometric assays. The addition of UAE-derived skin extract to kefir was significantly effective in enhancing the total phenolic content (43.2 %) thus increasing the total antioxidant capacity (+47.7 %) and lowering IC50ABTS (-36.0%) and DPPH (-31.45%). An increased inhibitory activity towards ? -amylase, ? -glucosidase and pancreatic lipase was also achieved by decreasing the corresponding IC50 values (69.39 and 73.01 "g/mL, respectively).

Aeolian Changes at the InSight Landing Site on Mars: Multi-instrument Observations

<p>The InSight (Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport) mission landed in western Elysium Planitia on November 26, 2018. Because of its stationary position and a multi-instrument package, InSight offers the unique opportunity of detecting changes induced by aeolian activity and constraining the atmospheric conditions responsible for particle motion. </p><p>In this work, we present the most significant changes from aeolian activity as detected by the InSight lander during its first 400 Martian days of operations. We will show that particle entrainment by wind activity around InSight is a subtle process and report simultaneous measurements observed across multiple instruments. The changes observed are episodic and are seen correlated with excursions in both seismic and magnetic signals, which will be discussed further. Our observations show that all aeolian movements are consistent with the passage of deep convective vortices between noon to 3 pm local time. These vortices may be the primary initiators for aeolian transportation at InSight, inducing episodic particulate motion of grains up to 3 mm in diameter. </p>
Application of Theory of Constraints in Quantity Surveying Firm

As the construction projects grow in size and complexity, the roles of Quantity Surveying (QS) firms which provide QS services getting more significant. Theory of Constraints (TOC) views every process in a system are linked and bottleneck constraint needs to be identified and dealt with so that to achieve continuous improvement in the whole operation. So far, no research conducted on bottleneck constraints in QS firms working environment as well as the application of TOC to the constraints. Removing constraints are the most effective way to improve the overall system performance. As QS firm does not involve inventory, the TOC application and its impacts might be different. This research focused on how TOC approach could be applied in solving the bottleneck constraint appeared in the QS firm. This study adopted questionnaire surveys and semi-structured interviews with QS practitioners, which directly involved in the management of the QS firm. Descriptive and content analysis are adopted to analyse the identified bottleneck constraint, TOC methodology used to deal with the constraint, as well as the impacts of TOC to the QS firms. The discussion outcome further explains the TOC methodology used to deal with the constraint appeared and the impacts of applying it. In overall, the most common bottleneck constraint in the QS firms is the delay of other project participants. TOC can be applied in QS firm working environment and it brings positive impacts as it aids in the decision-making in QS firms.

INFLUENCE OF YOGA ON HORMONAL CHANGES, QUALITY OF LIFE, AND MUSCULOSKELETAL FITNESS IN MENOPAUSAL WOMEN

Yoga is often recommended as a non-pharmacological approach for alleviating the wide range of symptoms associated with menopause. In popular literature it is suggested that the beneficial effects of yoga may result from changes in hormone levels, such as the adrenal androgen, DHEA-S and pituitary hormone FSH. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a 10 week yoga intervention on quality of life related to menopausal symptoms and to determine if there were associated changes in circulating DHEA-S and FSH. Volunteer participants were 17 inactive women between ages 45 and 60 experiencing menopause-related symptoms. Women were randomly assigned to either a 10 week Hatha yoga program (N= 10, age= 51.6±4.2, BMI= 27.2±5.8) or an active control group who completed a 10 week walking program (N=7, age= 53.1±4.1, BMI= 27.6±6.7). Both groups completed the Menopause Specific Quality of Life questionnaire (MENQOL) at week 0, 3,7, and 11 of the intervention to assess symptoms over four domains; vasomotor, psychosocial, physical, and sexual. Repeated measures ANOVA showed a trend for reduction in the vasomotor domain (p= 0.096) and summary score (p=0.066) for MENQOL in both groups. A trend towards reduction was seen for time (p= 0.066) and time by group (p= 0.074) for FSH. No changes in circulating DHEA-S were observed for either group. This suggests that 10 weeks of either yoga or walking will improve vasomotor symptoms of menopause, although this effect did not appear to be associated with changes in DHEA-S or FSH. An intervention longer than 10 weeks may be necessary to see changes in other domains of quality of life among menopausal

Effect of surface states on scattering from a slab made of topological insulator material with rough interface

ABSTRACT Using the perturbation theory (PT), reflected field both in specular and non specular directions from a slab made of topological insulator (TI) material with rough interface is studied. The specular reflections are described by zeroth order terms of the perturbation series while non specular reflections are associated with higher order terms. To describe the surface states on the TI, γ-model characterized by the surface admittance is utilized. It is observed that the co-polarized specular reflection increases for large values of surface admittance which results in vanishing transmission. The main objective is to pronounce distinctions between the results for a dielectric slab and TI slab. It is observed that the co polarized diffraction efficiency of the sinusoidal grating is enhanced for p-polarization as the surface admittance increases. Moreover, the scattering behavior of the TI slab with Gaussian rough interface as a function of surface admittance differs significantly from that of the dielectric slab.
