Baker ' s Yeast Quality Evaluation for Repacking and Storage under Sudan Conditions

*Corresponding author E-mail: abdelrahim1960@gmail.com AbstractThree different brands of commercial Baker's Yeast namely Saf-instant, Fermipan and Muripan were repacked in plastic polyethylene bags before storage either at room temperature at 3035 °C or in refrigerator at 7-10°C for fourteen weeks. The effects of repacking practice and storage temperature on its viability, activity and bread making were evaluated. The flour used for bread making was analyzed chemically and rheologically. Sealed packages for determination of bacterial contamination including the counts of colony forming units per gram CFU/gr and the fermentation time in minutes F.T/min, in addition to the sensory evaluation and specific volume of the bread made using these yeasts. Results show that, the flour used was of good quality and contamination with Salmonella and Coliform bacteria was not found; whereas contamination with Bacillus spp. was found associating with all samples. Contamination with Staphylococcus spp. was found in Saf-instant sample, merely at the level 1.5X10/gr. In their original packages, the CFU/gr recorded were 1.3X10/gr, 1.1X10/gr and 1.5X10/gr for Saf-instant, Fermipan, and Muripan samples, respectively. These values lie within the range expected for good quality yeasts. Colony forming units per gram CFU/gr for these samples stored at room temperature were more quickly decreased than those stored in a refrigerator. Fermentation time for each sample increased with storage period, but more rapidly with that samples stored at room temperature compared to those stored in a refrigerator. The specific volumes were decreased with storage time, but more rapidly with samples that stored at room temperature. Sensory evaluation results show that, texture, aroma and taste of bread used were negatively affected with increasing time of storage. A questionnaire was distributed randomly among shopkeepers revealed that 100% of the shopkeepers in the small groceries and 20% in large groceries were selling repacked yeasts and 90% of shopkeepers in large groceries were not aware about the yeast as living organisms which can be affected by the storage conditions.
Development of methodological procedures for culturing sunflower anthers in vitro

Sunflower is one of the most important crops worldwide. Therefore, of much importance are the techniques which would allow accelerating the production of new lines and varieties with desired agronomic properties. One of such techniques is experimental haploidy involving the introduction of haploid plant cells (e. g. microspores) in culture and subsequent regeneration of plants and chromosome doubling. The current work reports the search for the optimum conditions for in vitro culturing of sunflower anthers. Among other parameters, the growing conditions for donor plants in the controlled environment of the growth chamber have been optimized. The optimal developmental stage of explants at which they may be introduced in culture has been determined as well as the explant pretreatment conditions. It has been demonstrated that both the sunflower plant genotype and the composition of the culturing medium, in particular the presence of auxins and cytokinins, and their combinations, have significant effect on the callus genesis in the anther and microspore culture in vitro. In the course of the study, the optimal composition of the culturing media was suggested, including the phytohormones concentrations, the latter being chosen individually for each sunflower genotype.
Comparison of Various n-T SRAM Cell for Improvement of Power, Speed and SNM

- Low Power VLSI Circuit has greater demand in present world, Power consumption is very less in CMOS circuit design, so we built SRAM using CMOS which consume less power and have less read and write time. This trend decrease device size and increase chip density, by fabricating million of transistor over a single chip. The read and write operation depends on charging and discharging of bit line and bit line bar. To enhance the performance of the SRAM cell static noise margin (SNM) has to be improved. In this paper we have different structure of SRAM cell, and measure the different parameters like average power delay PDP and SNM, by using Cadence virtuoso simulator at 180nm CMOS technology, simulator shows that at least 20%-45% write power saving, with higher stability, with no degradation of performance with increase of additional 15.25% silicon area.
Localization in Wireless Sensor Networks Using Iterative Coding Technique in the Presence of Byzantines

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are vulnerable to Byzantine attacks in which malicious sensors send falsified information to the Fusion Center (FC) with the goal of degrading inference performance. Here the focus is on target localization in WSNs using quantized data where, due to power and bandwidth constraints, each sensor sends quantized data to a Fusion Center (FC). The FC combines these local sensors‟ data to estimate the target location. Here the problem of target localization using quantized data in Wireless Sensor Networks in the presence of Byzantines (malicious sensors) is considered. Since the effect of Byzantines can be treated as errors in the transmitted data, the error correcting codes can be used for the task of target localization. We have designed an iterative scheme for target localization in which at every iteration the Fusion Center performs an M-ary hypothesis test and decides the Region of Interest for the next iteration.
CONVERGENCE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, NEURAL NETWORK AND EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTING

- This paper presents a new perspective of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Although, number of attempts has been made to make an artifact intelligent, including evolution theory, neural network etc and a number of problems have been solved using these concepts but each of this theory covers only some aspect of human intelligence. Still there is a large gap between artificial intelligence agent and human being. In this paper I have discuss the extended version of Artificial Intelligence by augmenting it with emotions, and inheritance of neural architecture from parent generation to child generation that can make an artificial agent to match the intelligence and behaviour of a human being. At the same time it adds the power of two well knows Artificial Intelligence techniques viz. Neural Computing and Genetic Computing or Evolutionary Computing. The paper gives an idea of an artefact which is supposed to match the intelligence and behaviour of a human being. Paper also discusses some natural phenomenon and how they can be confirmed by the revised definition of artificial intelligence. The paper does not claim that existing definition of artificial intelligence has some faults. The paper just augments the existing definition by some other features that can make it more close to natural intelligence. The features augmented are naturally inspired similarly as AI, Neural Network and genetics all are naturally inspired.
Dynamic Reconfiguration Method for Effective Cluster Based Data Transmission in WSN

-WSNs are typically composed of large number of tiny sensors that are capable of sensing, processing and transmitting data via wireless links. Sensor nodes collaborate in a distributed and autonomous manner to accomplish a certain task, with no infrastructure. Power efficiency and fault tolerance are essential properties to keep the network functioning of energy depletion, communication link errors, or adverse environmental conditions, events that are likely to occur quite frequently in WSNs. The fault-tolerant topology control in a heterogeneous wireless sensor network consisting of several resource-rich super nodes, used for data relaying, and a large number of energy constrained wireless sensor nodes. So proposed clustering based code dissemination protocol for providing high link quality information. It will address the transmission efficiency due to poor communication link and identify the fault occurrence during transmission by dynamic reconfiguration. Clustering is the topology control method to reduce energy consumption and improve scalability of WSNs. In a cluster based WSN, cluster heads (CHs) consume required energy when extra work load owing to data collection, data aggregation and their communication to the base station. By choosing, sender selection algorithm estimate the impacts of senders by considering both uncovered neighbors (i.e., neighbor that do not receive an entire page) and the link qualities to those neighbor.
Protein Disturbance in the Haemolymph and Fat Body of the Desert Locust Schistocerca Gregaria as a Response to Certain Insect Growth Regulators

After treatment of the newly moulted last (5th) instar nymphs of the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria with 1000.0 or 62.5 ppm of the insect growth regulators (IGRs): pyriproxyfen (juvenoid), tebofenozide (ecdysone agonist) and lufenuron (chitin synthesis inhibitor), protein content was determined in the haemolymph and fat body of nymphs and adults. An inhibitory action on haemolymph proteins was generally exhibited by all IGRs along the nymphal stage with an exception of the day after treatment (1-day old nymphs) at which pyriproxyfen and lufenuron enhanced the nymphs to attain increasing proteins. Pyriproxyfen was comparatively the strongest IGR for preventing the midand late-aged nymphs to gain the normal protein content. In connection with the disturbed protein content in the fat body of nymphs, IGRs exhibited various degrees of reducing action with an exception of pyriproxyfen which slightly promoted the 1-day old nymphs to gain more proteins in fat body. Depending on the present results, it can be concluded that all adult females had been subjected to serious inhibitory action of all IGRs on the haemolymph protein content. The most drastically depleted protein content was recorded after treatment with pyriproxyfen. Also, the adult females were deprived to gain proteins in their fat bodies as control congeners. The strongest reducing effect on the fat body protein content of 1-day old adults was exhibited by pyriproxyfen but of 4-day old adults was exhibited by lufenuron.
Developing an Effective Light Stemmer for Arabic Language Information Retrieval

—Arabic language is one of the top 10 Most Spoken Languages in the World. It belongs to Semitic group of languages. Technology has been slow in development for Arabic due to morphological and structural complexity in the language. Arabic language requires good stemming for effective information retrieval. Many light stemmers have been developed but still suffer weaknesses and high percentage of errors. No standard approach has been emerged yet. In this paper a new effective light stemmer algorithm has been developed overcoming many limitations of previous approaches. The new technique taking into account truncate the word infixes in addition to prefixes and suffixes based on simple rules. Proposed stemming method was found to supersede the other stemming ones. It has been tested and compared with root-based stemmers developed by Khoja [11]. Correctness, strength and similarity of both stemming algorithms are reported.
Key genes of renal tubular necrosis: a bioinformatics analysis

Background To explore the key genes in renal tubular necrosis. Methods Microarray datasets GSE69644, GSE27168, and GSE2027 were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified and we performed functional enrichment analysis. The network of protein interaction and gene interaction was constructed, and the module analysis was conducted using Cytoscape. Results A total of 543 DEGs and 13 hub genes were identified. The correlation analysis between the hub genes and the clinical characteristics of tubular necrosis indicated that the patients with high expression of SPAG5 and BIRC5 had better renal function. Patients with high expression of KIF14, KIF20A, MAD2L1, CKAP2, CDC25C, and CENPEN had poor renal function. Four of those hub genes participate in the cell cycle, apoptosis, and mismatch repair by regulating important genes in the pathway. Conclusions Our study suggests that CDC25C, MAD2L, BIRC5, and EXO1 participate in the cell cycle, apoptosis, and mismatch repair during renal tubule necrosis (RTN) and have an impact on renal function.
Information Communication Technology Training as A Prerequisite for E-Government In County Governments Of Kenya

: Today, the Kenyan government has invested and endeavored to embrace electronic government (e-government) in almost all ministries to enable speedy service delivery and enhance transparency and accountability by eliminating inefficient processes and bureaucracies as much as possible. However, Information Communication Technology (ICT) professionals are lacking skills to manage these projects. The general objective of this study sought to investigate ICT training as a requirement for e-government in Trans Nzoia and Kisumu county governments. This paper assesses the ICT training needs among staff working in Trans Nzoia and Kisumu County governments. Interviews and Document reviews from both case counties and national governments are the data collection methods. The study is underpinned by Structuration theory, from the field of sociology and a constructivist paradigm approach is employed. Purposive sampling technique is used targeting participants in the two county governments. Thematic Analysis’s procedures and processes are adopted for data analysis. The findings contribute to knowledge in ICT training and capacity building discipline within the context of Kenyan government both national and county. We recommend a comprehensive and coherent approach to ICT training and capacity building at all educational tiers, country wide roll out of ICT infrastructure and its support for e-government to be fully embraced.

Regression Test Suite Reduction using an Hybrid Technique Based on BCO And Genetic Algorithm

- Regression testing is a maintenance activity that is performed to ensure the validity of modified software. The activity takes a lot of time to run the entire test suite and is very expensive. Thus it becomes a necessity to choose the minimum set of test cases with the ability to cover all the faults in minimum time. The paper presents a new test case reduction hybrid technique based on Genetic algorithms(GA) and bee colony optimization (BCO) . GA is an evolutionary algorithms (EA), which generate solutions to optimization problems using techniques inspired by natural evolution, such as inheritance, mutation, selection, and crossover. BCO is a swarm intelligence algorithm. The proposed approach adopts the behavior of bees to solve the given problem. It proves to be optimistic approach which provides optimum results in minimum time.

Parent’s Awareness of Primary Teeth Health: A Case Study in Riyadh and Dammam Dental Clinics

Parents spend considerable amount of time and money on their children’s health. However, when it comes to oral health there is a common misconception that if permanent teeth replace primary teeth at the age of 7, then there is no benefit for treatment of primary teeth. However, untreated primary teeth may affect normal growth of permanent teeth and it is our hypothesis that parents are generally not aware of this. There could be other secondary reasons that make parents unconcerned about primary teeth treatment such as: lack of medical insurance and low income of parents/guardian. This study investigates the level of awareness of the importance of primary teeth health using a questionnaire method of data collection and analysis. Statistical analysis reveals lack of awareness among parents on the importance of conducting frequent dental visits for child teeth care, lack of awareness on bottle tooth decay and the adequate age to start using fluoridated toothpaste for children.

: Unimodal systems use one biometric trait for authentication. Though unimodal systems enjoy the advantage of simplicity, yet there are some problems with these systems. To address these problems, multimodal systems are used, which combines the evidences of multiple traits. It will make the system more reliable and robust and thus increases the security of the biometric system. In this paper a novel approach of multimodal system is proposed, which uses fingerprints, hand geometry and palm print. Feature level fusion is used to combine the data obtained from these traits. The proposed system is also combined with cancellable biometrics. Using cancellable functions will further improve the performance of system. Also these three traits are extracted using single sensor i.e. 3 in 1 sensor so it reduces hardware cost and time. Thus the proposed framework has better performance than earlier approaches.
Authentication in Online Banking Systems: Quantum Cryptography Perspective

— Online banking systems allows consumers to access their banking accounts, review most recent transactions, request a current statement, transfer funds, view current bank rates and product information and reorder checks. These services that are offered by online banking systems are changing and being improved because of the intense competition between the banks. The major concern in online-banking is security threat specially the user authentication. Banks use either symmetric cryptography or asymmetric cryptography for this but due to the advent of sophisticated technology and cryptanalysis techniques, security solutions are not unconditionally secure. Here in this paper we are going to analyze the use of quantum cryptography for the authentication purpose.
Effect of cold pre-treatment on callus induction and shoots regeneration in ovary culture of marigold (Tagetes spp)

Marigold (Tagetes spp) is recognized to have potential usage in medicinal and pharmacological industries in addition to its use as an ornamental plant. The aim of the experiment was to investigate the effect of cold pre-treatment stress on the callus induction and its subsequent shoot differentiation in ovary culture of marigold cultivar Arka Agni. Ovaries from flower bud pretreated at 4 °c, 7 °c and 25 °c for 1, 24, 72 and 120 hrs were cultured on to callus induction and shoot differentiation media respectively. It was found that 7 C temperature pre-treatment to be statistically superior for % callus induction (84.58 %), as well 4 C temperature pre-treatment for minimum days to callus induction (20.30 days) and maximum shoot differentiation rate (10.52 %) followed by 7 C pre-treatment. Whereas, in case of investigating on duration of exposure of flower buds to different cold pre-treatment, maximum callus induction (89.66 %) was reported from both 7 C and 4 C pretreated buds but duration of exposure varies 1hr and 24 hr respectively. However, flower buds pretreated at 4 for 24 hr achieved callus initiation in minimum days (20.00 days) and also resulted in highest shoot differentiation rate (14.15 %). Nevertheless, there is need for testing of the plantlets produced via gynogenesis for genetic variation as well as for the ploidy level.
Analyse the Performance of OFDM in Wireless Communication System

─ FDMA, TDMA and CDMA are the well known multiplexing techniques used in wireless communication systems. While working with the wireless systems using these techniques various problems encountered are (1) multi-path fading (2) time dispersion which lead to inter symbol interference (ISI) (3) lower bit rate capacity (4) requirement of larger transmit power for high bit rate and (5) less spectral efficiency. In a typical terrestrial broadcasting, the transmitted signal arrives at the receiver using various paths of different lengths. Since multiple versions of the signal interfere with each other, it becomes difficult to extract the original information. The use of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technique provides better solution for the above mentioned problems. OFDM technique distributes the data over a large number of carriers that are spaced apart at precise frequencies. The benefits of OFDM are high spectral efficiency, resiliency of RF interference, and lower multi-path distortion. OFDM is a powerful modulation technique that is capable of high data rate and is able to eliminate ISI. The OFDM based wireless communication system design includes the design of OFDM transmitter, and OFDM receiver. Using MATLAB, simulation of OFDM was done with different modulation techniques using different transform techniques. The digital modulation schemes such as BPSK and QPSK were selected to assess the performance of the designed OFDM system
