Shelf-life and quality of fresh-cut peach Cv 'Ruby Rich' at different maturity stage

‘Ruby Rich’ is a yellow-flesh peach cultivar that ripens during the last week of May and the first of June. This fruit is characterized by distinct colour and size, which make it highly appreciated by consumers, particularly, in the local markets. However, is known about ‘Ruby Rich’ minimal processing physiology. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of passive atmosphere, during 12 d, on shelf-life and quality of fresh cut peach fruit, at different ripening stages. ‘Ruby Rich’ peach fruits were picked at mature-green stage (MG) (55.0 ± 0.5 N), and ripe stage (RP) (35.7 ± 0.7 N) determined by flesh firmness. Fruits were washed, peeled, sliced and stored for 0, 3, 5, 7 and 12 days after cut, six replications were used for each storage time. Scores of appearance and firmness, weight, colour, respiration rate, soluble solids total, ascorbic acid and phenols were observed. Significant differences occurred on MG treatment in terms of visual quality, flesh firmness, polyphenols and ascorbic acid. Results shows that peach slices (RP) maintain the shelf life condition for 5 d. at 5 °C with the best results in terms of solid soluble content and flavour.
A Study on Malware and Malware Detection Techniques

The impact of malicious software are getting worse day by day. Malicious software or malwares are programs that are created to harm, interrupt or damage computers, networks and other resources associated with it. Malwares are transferred in computers without the knowledge of its owner. Mostly the medium used to spread malwares are networks and portable devices. Malwares are always been a threat to digital world but with a rapid increase in the use of internet, the impacts of the malwares become severe and cannot be ignored. A lot of malware detectors have been created, the effectiveness of these detectors depend upon the techniques being used. Although researchers are developing latest technologies for the timely detection of malwares but still malware creators always stay one step ahead. In this paper, a detailed review of malwares types are provided, malware analysis and detection techniques are studied and compared. Furthermore, malware obfuscation techniques have also been presented.
Title Variable power broadcasting based on local information forsource-dependent broadcasting protocols

A typical broadcasting protocol for wireless network usually involves fixed transmission power that covers, for example an area within 250 meters (m). However, it is often unnecessary to broadcast using fixed power because a node that needs to be covered may just be 100m away. By reducing the transmission power enough to cover this node, energy expenditure would be reduced, thus, prolonging the lifetime of battery-powered wireless networks such as Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Existing source-dependent broadcasting protocols do not have any mechanisms for adjusting the transmission power of nodes. Therefore, this paper proposes some effective mechanisms based on local neighborhood knowledge, while ensuring the overall network is still covered. Results of extensive simulations confirm the effectiveness of the proposed protocols in reducing energy consumption.
Development of an Anti-stenotrophomonas maltophilia Immunoglobulin-G (lgG) that Prevents Iron Transport in Gram Negative Bacteria

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES Smalls, Freeman E. B.S., Voorhees College, 1978 M.S., Atlanta University, 1980 DEVELOPMENT OF AN ANTI-STENOTROPHOMONAS MALTOPHILIA IMMUNOGLOBULIN-G (IgG) THAT PREVENTS IRON TRANSPORT IN GRAM NEGATIVE BACTERIA Advisor: Dr. Errol Archibold Dissertation dated May 2009 The resistance of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia to antimicrobial agents has become a major medical and public health problem. The frequent treatment of S. maltophilia borne infections with the same anti-microbial agent over a period of time inherently results in the pathogen developing resistance to the drug. A polyclonal antibody cocktail, D-Squared David L Scott 01 (D2-DLSO1) was used to recover surface exposed immunogenic polypeptides (SEIP’s) from the cell walls of S. maltophilia. Bioinformatics strategies (Blast analysis, sequence alignment hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity plots) were performed to identify epitopes of ferric enterobactin receptor (Fep A) homolog in S. maltophilia. Data showed that D2-DLSO1 recognized regions along the Fep A peptide sequence that was confirmed in an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) assay. The amino acid sequences of Escherichia
Supersoft X-Ray Sources in M31. I. A Chandra Survey and an Extension to Quasi-soft Sources

We report on very soft X-ray sources (VSSs) in M31. In a survey that was most sensitive to soft sources in four 8′ × 8′ regions covered by Chandra's ACIS-S S3 CCD, we find 33 VSSs that appear to belong to M31. Fifteen VSSs have spectral characteristics mirroring the supersoft X-ray sources studied in the Magellanic Clouds and Milky Way (kTeff ≤ 100 eV); we therefore call these "classical" supersoft sources, or simply supersoft sources (SSSs). Eighteen VSSs may have either small (<10%) hard components or slightly higher effective temperatures (but still less than 350 eV). We refer to these VSSs as quasi-soft sources (QSSs). While hot white dwarf models may apply to SSSs, the effective temperatures of QSSs are too high, unless, e.g., the radiation emanates from only a small portion of surface. Two of the SSSs were first detected and identified as such through ROSAT observations. One SSS and one QSS may be identified with symbiotics and two SSSs with supernova remnants. Both SSSs and QSSs in the disk are found near star-forming regions, possibly indicating that they are young. VSSs in the outer disk and halo are likely to be old systems; in these regions, there are more QSSs than SSSs, which is opposite to what is found in fields closer to the galaxy center. The largest density of bright VSSs is in the bulge; some of the bulge sources are close enough to the nucleus to be remnants of the tidal disruption of a giant by the massive central black hole. By using Chandra data in combination with ROSAT and XMM observations, we find most VSSs to be highly variable, fading from or brightening toward detectability on timescales of months. There is evidence for VSSs with low luminosities (~1036 ergs s-1).
Thermodynamics in f(G,T) Gravity

This paper explores the nonequilibrium behavior of thermodynamics at the apparent horizon of isotropic and homogeneous universe model in gravity ( and represent the Gauss-Bonnet invariant and trace of the energy-momentum tensor, resp.). We construct the corresponding field equations and analyze the first as well as generalized second law of thermodynamics in this scenario. It is found that an auxiliary term corresponding to entropy production appears due to the nonequilibrium picture of thermodynamics in first law. The universal condition for the validity of generalized second law of thermodynamics is also obtained. Finally, we check the validity of generalized second law of thermodynamics for the reconstructed models (de Sitter and power-law solutions). We conclude that this law holds for suitable choices of free parameters.
Mesokinetics of Formation and Growth of Nanostructured Substanceswith Strong Bonds

In this work, we review the results of the development of phenomenological method for describing formation and growth of nanostructured objects with strong interatomic bonds. It is assumed that the growth of nanostructures is caused by their phonon excitations and vibrational interactions, leading to mutual compensation of free electronic bonds of “boundary” (i.e., surface) atoms in adjoining objects and to consolidation of these objects into more large patterns, which are compact clusters. The clusters reveal collective quantum properties, namely, excitations of quasi-particles – phonons. A proposed cluster mechanism of formation of macroscopic diamond particles from nanodiamonds made it possible to describe all data available at that instant, concerning man-made diamonds produced during both static and dynamic synthesis. A proposed model of formation of biological nanoobjects and mesoobjects gives formally calculated sizes, which correspond to characteristic dimensions of protein nanoparticles. In addition, the model provides a mesoscopic range of sizes, which is in keeping with characteristic dimensions of cells as well as of simplest organisms.
Mapping flow distortion on oceanographic platforms using computational fluid dynamics

Abstract. Wind speed measurements over the ocean on ships or buoys are affected by flow distortion from the platform and by the anemometer itself. This can lead to errors in direct measurements and the derived parametrisations. Here we computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to simulate the errors in wind speed measurements caused by flow distortion on the RV Celtic Explorer. Numerical measurements were obtained from the finite-volume CFD code OpenFOAM, which was used to simulate the velocity fields. This was done over a range of orientations in the test domain from −60 to +60° in increments of 10°. The simulation was also set up for a range of velocities, ranging from 5 to 25 m s−1 in increments of 0.5 m s−1. The numerical analysis showed close agreement to experimental measurements.
Empirical Research on the Relationship between Scientific Innovation and Economic Growth in Beijing

This paper will build up a model about the dynamic relationship between scientific innovation and economic growth in Beijing, with VAR model (Vector Autoregressive Model), and choose the quantity of patent applications, sum of business transactions in the market of technologies and the foreign direct investment as its indicators of science and technology output, GDP as its indicator of economic growth, which finally uses variance decomposition analysis. The research shows that there is a long-term equilibrium relationship between scientific innovation and economic growth, and both have interactivity which means that scientific innovation promotes economic growth and economic growth boosts the scientific innovation.
Factors Associated With Completion of the Restraining Order Process in Female Victims of Partner Violence

Thousands of women each year initiate the process of obtaining a restraining order against a violent partner. Although many women request an emergency restraining order, many fail to return to obtain a final 1-year order. The present study examined factors associated with completion of this process. Sixty-five women who initiated the process of securing a restraining order against a male partner participated in the study. Participants completed an interview, self-report measures, and were followed up to determine final restraining order status. Less than half of the women who initiated the process obtained final orders. Women who indicated an attachment to the abusive partner were less likely to complete the process. Perceived threat to the women facilitated persistence with the process; however, when the threat involved her children, women were less likely to persist. Understanding factors influencing persistence in help seeking, especially attachment and threat, is a crucial step toward enhancing interventions to facilitate efforts toward violence-free lives.
A Two Layered approach to perform Effective Page Replacement

1 (Student of M.Tech CSE, GJU S&T, Hisar Abstract: - In a multi processor system, when the request are performed more frequently, more effective management of cache is required. Cache is small size memory available in system that holds both data and instruction. In case of shared cache, the management of cache is more critical. Cache memory provides the static storage to the processor for most required data and instruction. As of limited size, the contents of cache are been replaced regularly. To improve the efficiency of the system, an effective cache replacement algorithm is required. The presented work is in same direction. In this work a two level cache is been defined. In first level the prioritization of the cache contents is been defined based on the type of contents. At the second level the replacement is been performed by analyzing the page utility and the frequency of the access. The analysis of the work is been performed with different cache size. The analysis of work is been performed in terms of hit ratio and miss ratio. The obtained results show that the presented work has improved the efficiency and reliability of the multiprocessor systems.
INTERFERENCE IN DUNE ANNUALS: SPATIAL PATTERN AND NEIGHBOURHOOD EFFECTS

SUMMARY Interference among four autumn-germinating annuals (Cerastium atrovirens, Mibora minima, Phleum arenarium and Vulpia fasciculata) native to the stabilized dunes near Aberffraw, Anglesey, North Wales, was examined at the individual plant level in monocultures, in all combinations of two species in mixture, and in a mixture of all four species. Frequency histograms of individual plant weights for each species from the four-species mixtures became skewed through time. Species with low competitive ability had a larger proportion of the cohort in the smaller size classes. Density is a crude abstraction of the precise neighbourhood relationship of individuals: up to 69%Y of variance in individual plant weight and fecundity is accounted for by linear regression on a measure of neighbourhood effects that takes into account the weight, distance and angular dispersion of neighbours within 2 cm.
The six-ankyrin repeat containing Asb genes may drive normal and adenomatous compartment size expansion in the distal intestine

Dysregulation of compartment size is maybe the most fundamental biological issue in cancer. Important clues as to novel therapeutical avenues for dealing with this disease may thus be obtained from the regulation of compartment size in untranstormed cells. Previously we reported the extraction of d-asb11 from a screen in zebrafish to identify gene products essential for maintaining proliferation progenitors during embryogenesis and established that it is a major determinant regulating the size of the central nervous system; knock down of the gene leading to a small brain, whereas its forced expression led to a massive expansion of the zebrafish central nervous system and brain hypertrophy. Here we compare zebrafish d-asb11 to the human genome and identify a subfamily within the group of Asb genes consisting apart from human ASB11 of ASB5, ASB9, and ASB13 which are highly structurally related, very homologous and among the most conserved genes in the chordate phylum. Analysis of forced expression of d-asb11 in zebrafish suggests the gene has the capacity to expand endodermal domains and thus we explore the expression of Asb5, Asb9, Asb11 and Asb13 in the untransformed mammalian gastrointestinal system and possible deregulation in gastrointestinal cancer. We observe low but distinct expression of various Asbs in the different elements of the gastrointestinal tract suggesting Asb-coding within the endoderm may exist. Asb9 appears most important, especially in the distal tract and its expression is highly upregulated in colonic cancer. The study indicates that Asb11-like members of the Asb family of proteins might be implicated in compartment expansion in the gastrointestinal tract and prompt further investigations as to their roles in cancer in derivatives of the endodermal lineage.

The main purpose of this paper is to improve the main result in [P2] by means of a directproof that avoids the classical good-λtechnique considered there. The good-λmethod,introduced by of D. Burkholder and R. Gundy in [BG], is a powerful tool but has thedisadvantage that it is essentially adapted to measures satisfying the A
1-Point Ransac Based Robust Visual Odometry

Many of the current visual odometry algorithms suffer from some extreme limitations such as requiring a high amount of computation time, complex algorithms, and not working in urban environments. In this paper, we present an approach that can solve all the above problems using a single camera. Using a planar motion assumption and Ackermann`s principle of motion, we construct the vehicle`s motion model as a circular planar motion (2DOF). Then, we adopt a 1-point method to improve the Ransac algorithm and the relative motion estimation. In the Ransac algorithm, we use a 1-point method to generate the hypothesis and then adopt the Levenberg-Marquardt method to minimize the geometric error function and verify inliers. In motion estimation, we combine the 1-point method with a simple least-square minimization solution to handle cases in which only a few feature points are present. The 1-point method is the key to speed up our visual odometry application to real-time systems. Finally, a Bundle Adjustment algorithm is adopted to refine the pose estimation. The results on real datasets in urban dynamic environments demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm.
Investigate the effects of rail transport on urban development

Nowadays, the role of transport in sustainable development is very clear and irrefutable. Outstanding contribution to the transport sector in the development of urban infrastructures in countries reflects the close relationship of all sub-sectors of the economy with the transport sector. On the other hand, in investigating the role of transport in sustainable development, it is necessary to consider factors such as the environment, social influences (customers' expectations) and, of course, the enterprise. This article examines the impact of rail transport on urban development in Iran during the years 1975 to 2014. Autoregressive method with distributed lag is used for the analysis of Econometrics. And to check the development of rail transport, the load factor in tons multiplied by the kilometer, distance in terms of person multiplied by the kilometer and the number of passengers are used and the amount of consumable diesel indicator is used to consider the environmental indicators. Finally, the conclusion is that the load in tons multiplied by the kilometer, distance in terms of person multiplied by the kilometer and the number of passengers and consumable diesel has a meaningful impact on urban development in the short-term and long-term.
CAPTURINGOF DIFFERENT PIXEL LOCATION OF COLOR IMAGES USING MVPC MEASURES

To produce video representation that separates it foreground and history without condition, we advise the spatial-temporal attention-aware pooling (STAP) framework. Inspired within the fact actions/foregrounds attract human visual attention, we advise to utilize it saliency to assist over it feature representation. Particularly, we advise an entirely new method of fuse the saliency maps from various saliency conjecture models. This new saliency model borrows the best understanding from existing saliency models that will reveal some visual semantics, e.g., face, moving objects, and so on.Existing STIP-based action recognition approaches operateon intensity representations inside the image data. Additionally, the end result show color STIPs are true only best low-level feature choice for STIP-based methods to human action recognition. Because ofthis, these approaches are conscious to disturbing photometricphenomena, for instance shadows and highlights. Additionally, valuableinformation is neglected by discarding chromaticity from thephotometric representation. We avoid gradient approximation based on integral video representations inside the partial derivatives. High-level methods for unconstrained human activity recognition goal at modeling image sequences while using the recognition of greater level concepts, and may develop low-level fundamental concepts. Color STIPs are multichannel reformulations of STIPdetectors and descriptors that people consider a numberof chromatic and invariant representations created from theopponent color space. Color STIPs happen to be proven to outperformtheir intensity-based counterparts over the challenging UCF sports, UCF11 and UCF50 action recognition benchmarks by more than5% typically, where most of the gain is a result of the multichanneldescriptors.
Equivalency of Multiple Beams and Multiple Phase Centres for Digital Beamforming SAR Systems

In this paper the flexibility in modifying the resulting antenna characteristics in terms of location of phase centres and aperture widths, independent of the antenna type used by applying linear combinations of digital beams is discussed. Especially a parabolic reflector can be considered to have the same properties as a Direct Radiating Array (DRA) when used for SAR applications like along-track interferometry.
Title Observed correlations between aerosol and cloud properties in an Indian Ocean trade cumulus regime Permalink

There are many contributing factors which determine the microand macrophysical properties of clouds, including atmospheric vertical structure, dominant meteorological conditions, and aerosol concentration, all of which may be coupled to one another. In the quest to determine aerosol effects on clouds, these potential relationships must be understood. Here we describe several observed correlations between aerosol conditions and cloud and atmospheric properties in the Indian Ocean winter monsoon season. In the CARDEX (Cloud, Aerosol, Radiative forcing, Dynamics EXperiment) field campaign conducted in February and March 2012 in the northern Indian Ocean, continuous measurements were made of atmospheric precipitable water vapor (PWV) and the liquid water path (LWP) of trade cumulus clouds, concurrent with measurements of water vapor flux, cloud and aerosol vertical profiles, meteorological data, and surface and total-column aerosol from instrumentation at a ground observatory and on small unmanned aircraft. We present observations which indicate a positive correlation between aerosol and cloud LWP only when considering cases with low atmospheric water vapor (PWV< 40 kgm 2), a criterion which acts to filter the data to control for the natural meteorological variability in the region. We then use the aircraft and ground-based measurements to explore possible mechanisms behind this observed aerosol–LWP correlation. The increase in cloud liquid water is found to coincide with a lowering of the cloud base, which is itself attributable to increased boundary layer humidity in polluted conditions. High pollution is found to correlate with both higher temperatures and higher humidity measured throughout the boundary layer. A large-scale analysis, using satellite observations and meteorological reanalysis, corroborates these covariations: high-pollution cases are shown to originate as a highly polluted boundary layer air mass approaching the observatory from a northwesterly direction. The source air mass exhibits both higher temperatures and higher humidity in the polluted cases. While the warmer temperatures may be attributable to aerosol absorption of solar radiation over the subcontinent, the factors responsible for the coincident high humidity are less evident: the high-aerosol conditions are observed to disperse with air mass evolution, along with a weakening of the hightemperature anomaly, while the high-humidity condition is observed to strengthen in magnitude as the polluted air mass moves over the ocean toward the site of the CARDEX observations. Potential causal mechanisms of the observed correlations, including meteorological or aerosol-induced factors, are explored, though future research will be needed for a more complete and quantitative understanding of the aerosol–humidity relationship.
