CURING THE DRUG RESISTANCE PLASMID IN E. COLI O157:H7

In this study, twenty five isolates of E. coli O157:H7 were identified among 200 samples taken from children under ten years old suffer from diarrhea. Isolates were identified from stool sample by using cultural, morphological, biochemical characteristics and serological test. The plasmid profile has been conducted by using gel electrophoresis. To control the antibiotic resistance of the tested E. coli O157:H7 isolates, curing of plasmid DNA was conducted using Ethidium bromide (EB) and elevated temperature (ET) at 46 °C. One of the most resistance isolate was chosen for this purpose E15 then treated with Ethidium bromide at 125 μg/ml. The results revealed that the genes encoded resistance to AK (Amikacin), CIP (Ciprofloxacin), CN (Gentamicin) and TMP + SXT (Trimethoprim + Sulphamethoxazole) (were cured from E15 and the percentage of curing was 28.57%. The results confirmed by conducting gel electrophoresis and showed that EB removed three plasmid of E15, while two plasmids remained. On the other hand, elevated temperature used also as curing agent for the same isolate and the results revealed that resistance to AK, CIP, CN and TMP + SXT genes were cured from E15 and the curing percent was 35.71% after incubating the isolate at 46 °C. The results confirmed by conducting gel electrophoresis and showed that tested isolate lost three plasmids after incubation at 46 °C.
Judgment of fabrics using haptic feedback technology

The main goal of this thesis is to render fabrics in order to allow retailers and designers to judge these fabrics. Haptic feedback technology seems usable to do so, since it allows for tangible interaction. However, a literature review shows it is currently not feasible to render fabrics using haptic feedback technology. The technology cannot render precise and accurate enough. To explore more on the topic of haptics, a state-of-the-art review is made. The state-of-the art review shows rendering fabrics is currently not done with the use of devices. During this review also the Haptic revolver by Microsoft was explored. This device uses small pieces of fabric instead of rendering it completely without the use of actual fabric. An adapted version of this device could be able to render big sheets of fabrics with the use of just tiny pieces of fabric. Since the Revolver of Microsoft is not available to test, a controller is made with haptic wheels. These wheels hold a tiny piece of fabric on top, which, by rotating, gives the user the impression of touching a big sheet of fabric. This report describes the process of making the device, testing it, and it states possible improvements. The potential of the controller is present, however, iterations must be made in order to make the concept to a useful product.
A Sensitive Fibre Optic Probe for Autofluorescence Spectroscopy of Oral Tongue Cancer: Monte Carlo Simulation Study

The objective of this paper is to determine the best optical probe configuration that would help to detect neoplastic lesions in oral tongue epithelial tissue. Three geometrical configurations are investigated. The first one is a single-fibre probe with different fibre diameters. The second one is a multitilted fibre probe that employs different tilting angles for emission and collection fibres. While the third one is a multidiameter probe that employs different fibre diameters and distances between the emission and the collection fibres. All probes were evaluated for their depth-limited sensitivity in the epithelium layer of the tongue. Probes that showed efficient sensitivities were then compared for their fluorescence intensities acquired from both tissue types. The sensitivity for the first two types of probes was found to be roughly comparable. However, the differentiation capability of the multitilted fibre probe between dysplastic and healthy tissue was found to be noticeably larger by 30% of that of the single-fibre probe. The third type showed more sensitivity to fluorescence emerging from deeper layers. Finally, the proposed configuration is presented and proved to achieve higher sensitivity for both superficial and deep layers.
Genetic evidence for occurrence of Macrovipera razii (Squamata, Viperidae) in the central Zagros region, Iran

This study presents the first molecular evidence of Macrovipera razii from central Zagros, more than 300 km north-west of its prior records in southern Iran. Molecular analyses based on mitochondrial cytochrome b sequences identified the individuals from central Zagros as a lineage of M. razii. Specimens from the new localities are separated by a genetic distance of 1.46% from the known populations of M. razii. The results extend the known distribution range of M. razii as an endemic species of Iran.

This level of accuracy represents a 5-fold improvement in the state of the art [1,2]. This improvement is achieved by reducing circuit errors to the 0.01°C level through the extensive use of offset cancellation and dynamic element matching, combined with a room-temperature calibration.
SUPPORTING AIR TRANSPORT POLICIES USING BIG DATA ANALYTICS: A DESCRIPTIVE APPROACH BASED EMERGING TREND ANALYSIS

Qualitative research methods based on literature review or expert judgement have been used to find core issues, analyze emerging trends and discover promising areas for the future. Deriving results from large amounts of information under this approach is both costly and time consuming. Besides, there is a risk that the results may be influenced by the subjective opinion of experts. In order to make up for such weaknesses, the analysis paradigm for choosing future emerging trend is undergoing a shift toward mplementing qualitative research methods along with quantitative research methods like text mining in a mutually complementary manner. The hange used to implement recent studies is being witnessed in various areas such as the steel industry, the information and communications technology industry, the construction industry in architectural engineering and so on. This study focused on retrieving aviation-related core issues and the promising areas for the future from research papers pertaining to overall aviation areas through text mining method, which is one of the big data analysis techniques. This study has limitations in that its analysis for retrieving the aviation-related core issues and promising fields was restricted to research papers containing the keyword "aviation. " However, it has significance in that it prepared a quantitative analysis model for continuously monitoring the derived core issues and emerging trends regarding the promising areas for the future in the aviation industry through the application of a big data-based descriptive approach.

Economic Performance, Human Cooperation and the Major Histocompatibility Complex∗

This paper develops a theory and presents empirical evidence of the link between economic achievement and genetic evolution. Important properties for successful analysis of this link are found in the adaptive immune system and particularly in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). The MHC is crucial for health; its observed level of diversity is related to economic conditions; and, its frequencydependent distribution ensures very rapid evolution. The theory develops an understanding of the functioning of the immune system when interactions between agents are important by modelling interactions in terms of a linear public-good game. The model exhibits a trade-off revealing that every agent who is better off in having a different adaptive immune system from the other agents in the population is also part of the protecting belt of the other agents in which having similar immune systems is optimal. The theory predicts that low levels of MHC diversity minimize the incidence of infectious diseases in a population and constitute a social optimum, while the evolutionary stable equilibrium with selfish agents induces a maximum level of MHC diversity. The data have been collected from a large number of individual blood samples of people in 63 populations. Consistent with the theory the estimates suggest a negative association between health outcomes and MHC diversity, which suggests that low diversity improves health outcomes from a social perspective. Furthermore, the estimates suggest a negative correlation of MHC diversity with indicators of cooperation, which is consistent with more cooperation inducing the internalization of the health of other agents. Finally, the estimates present a robust negative correlation between MHC diversity and several measures of economic performance, which suggests that societies that are better able to cope with public good dilemmas are economically more successful.
EXTRACTION OF CAFFEINE FROM DIFFERENT VARITIES OF TEA SAMPLES

Caffeine a neurostimulant consumed every day. Caffeine is a xanthine alkaloid compound that acts as a stimulant in humans. Caffeine is called with different names : guaranine when found in guarana, mateine when found in mate, and theine when found in tea. The organic solvent dichloromethane is used to extract caffeine from an aqueous extract of tea powder. Different tea powders and tea waste have been utilised in order to extract caffeine . Maximum concentration of caffeine is obtained in lipton tea powder . and total amount of caffeine obtained is 2.20gms/per 100g of tea powder. The caffeine is used as growth stimulant for plants. It was observed that the rapid growth of the plants in soil containing extracted caffeine when compared to plants with tea waste. So caffeine may be used as manure for rapid growth of the plants
THE EFFECT OF AFFORESTATION ON BIODIVERSITY IN MALATYA, TURKEY

Since 1960s, the Tepehan (Turkey) region had long been suffering from serious soil erosion. Therefore, large-scale afforestation with mainly coniferous species has continued during the past decades in order to control soil erosion and it has yielded quite successful results. However, since it has been unknown how afforestation influences biodiversity so far this study investigated it. Braun–Blanquette method was used to select a plot in each stratum which represents the vegetation characteristic of the whole area of the forest and to assess vegetation parameters. The results of the survey show that 77 species belonging to 58 genera were recorded in different layers including 7 trees, 4 shrubs and 66 herbs in the study area. Diversity index was used for measuring biological diversity and was found consistently and significantly greater in native Quercus forests than in exotic coniferous plantation forests. These results show that afforestation has a negative influence on species diversity. Therefore, it is recommended to develop strategies for biodiversity conservation in afforestation work in the country to maintain habitats and minimize loss of native species.
A test of the ability of current bulk optical models to represent the radiative properties of cirrus cloud across the mid-and far-infrared

Measurements of midto far-infrared nadir radiances obtained from the UK Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements (FAAM) BAe 146 aircraft during the Cirrus Coupled Cloud-Radiation Experiment (CIRCCREX) are used to assess the performance of various ice cloud bulk optical property models. Through use of a minimization approach, we find that the simulations can reproduce the observed spectra in the mid-infrared to within measurement uncertainty, but they are unable to simultaneously match the observations over the far-infrared frequency range. When both midand far-infrared observations are used to minimize residuals, first-order estimates of the spectral flux differences between the best-performing simulations and observations indicate a compensation effect between the midand far-infrared such that the absolute broadband difference is < 0.7 W m−2. However, simply matching the spectra using the mid-infrared (far-infrared) observations in isolation leads to substantially larger discrepancies, with absolute differences reaching∼ 1.8 (3.1) W m−2. These results show that simulations using these microphysical models may give a broadly correct integrated longwave radiative impact but that this masks spectral errors, with implicit consequences for the vertical distribution of atmospheric heating. They also imply that retrievals using these models applied to mid-infrared radiances in isolation will select cirrus optical properties that are inconsistent with far-infrared radiances. As such, the results highlight the potential benefit of more extensive farinfrared observations for the assessment and, where necessary, the improvement of current ice bulk optical models.
Therapeutic Efficacy of Ginger (Zingiber officinale), Ginseng (Panax ginseng) and Sage (Salvia officinalis) Against Cryptosporidium parvum in Experimentally Infected Mice

Cryptosporidium parvum (C. parvum) is a worldwide zoonotic protozoan parasite infects most mammalian hosts causing a major health problem. The present study investigated the efficacy of ginger (Zingiber officinale), ginseng (Panax ginseng) and sage (Salvia officinalis) methanolic extracts on the progression of cryptosporidiosis in the experimental mice.Forty five mice experimentally infected with C. parvum were treated with medicinal plants extracts (ginger, ginseng and sage) as compared to the reference drug, Nitazoxanide (NTZ). Mice fecal smears were examined daily for 4 weeks post infection (PI). The results interpreted by oocysts count and histological examination of mice intestinal mucosa.The obtained results recorded that there was a statistically significant reduction in oocyst shedding in high dose ginger, ginseng and NTZ treated groups till no oocysts were found at days 21 and 23 PI, respectively. The infected non-treated, NTZ and low dose of both, ginseng and sage treated mice groups returned to excrete oocysts at low levels at day 27 PI while the other animal groups’ feces were still negative for C. parvum oocysts. The histopathological examination showed that NTZ, high dose ginger and ginseng treated mice had more protective and curative effect on infected mice intestinal epithelium in comparison with other treatments used.In conclusion, these results proved the therapeutic efficacy of ginger, ginseng and sage medicinal plants against the C. parvum in experimentally infected mice, and that theginger extract had an obvious effect on infected mice than other treatments and such results could be adapted in similar infections in susceptible animals and man.
Visual servoing for object manipulation: A case study in slaughterhouse

Automation for slaughterhouse challenges the design of the control system due to the variety of the objects. Realtime sensing provides instantaneous information about each piece of work and thus, is useful for robotic system developed for slaughterhouse. In this work, a pick and place task which is a common task among tasks in slaughterhouse is selected as the scenario for the system demonstration. A vision system is utilized to grab the current information of the object, including position and orientation. The information about the object is then transferred to the robot side for path planning. An online and offline combined path planning algorithm is proposed to generate the desired path for the robot control. An industrial robot arm is applied to execute the path. The system is implemented for a lab-scale experiment, and the results show a high success rate of object manipulation in the pick and place task. The approach is implemented in ROS which allows utilization of the developed algorithm on different platforms with little extra effort.

Yi-Jing Chen Jing Chang Si-Yu Yang 1Department of Health Care Clinic, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Henan, People’s Republic of China; 2Academy of Medical Science, Zhengzhou University, Henan, People’s Republic of China; 3Xiangya Medical School, Central South University, Changsha, People’s Republic of China Objective: This study aimed to develop the ARMS-C and test its psychometric properties in hypertensive patients, to assess the level of medication adherence and to identify associated predictors for medication adherence and blood-pressure control among Chinese hypertensive patients. Methods: Hypertensive elderly who met inclusion criteria were recruited from an aged-care facility in Henan Province between January 2019 and July 2019. The patients completed the adapted ARMS-C. The scale’s factor structure, internal consistency, and construct validity were tested. Results: Good internal consistency (Cronbach’s α=0.89) and test–retest reliability (r=0.86, p<0.01) were obtained. Item-total correlation coefficients for the ten-item ARMS-C were 0.505–0.801. Factor analysis of construct validity identified two factors, explaining a total variance of 63.3%. Binary regression showed that patients with scores at level 2 (≤20 ARMS-10 scores <30) were six times as likely to have blood pressure uncontrolled as those at level 1 (ARMS-10 scores <20, OR 6.6, 95% CI 1.7–25.1; p=0.006), and patients with scores at level 3 (ARMS-10 scores >30) were 115 times as likely to have blood pressure uncontrolled as those at level 1 (ARMS-10 scores <20,OR 115, 95% CI 9–1,470; p=0). Conclusion: The ten-item ARMS-C is a reliable and valid self-reporting screening tool for adherence to medication and refills in elderly hypertensive Chinese patients.
REPLACEMENT OF DIETARY YELLOW CORN BY WHEAT BRAN WITH OR WITHOUT MULTI-ENZYMES OR PREBIOTIC SUPPLEMENTATION ON NUTRIENT DIGESTIBILITY AND BLOOD PARAMETERS IN GROWING RABBITS

The present study was performed to investigate the influence of feeding diets contained three levels of yellow corn (YC) without or with enzymes and/or prebiotics on the nutrient digestibility and blood parameters of growing New Zealand White (NZW ) rabbits. A feeding trial (3x4) with factorial arrangement of treatment was carried out. The chemical analyses for experimental diets and faces and blood constituents were run. One hundred and eight, 6 weeks old weaning NZW rabbits were used in this study. Rabbits were randomly distributed into 12 equal experimental groups; each contained three equal replicates. The digestibility coefficients of dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), crude fiber (CF), ether extract (EE), nitrogen free extract (NFE), non-ditrgant fiber (NDF), ADF and hemicellulose were increased with feeding on 15 % YC diets than those of rabbits fed on 5 % or 10 % YC rations, but there was no significant effect of dietary treatments on DMI and CP digestibility. Rabbits fed enzyme-supplemented diets displayed significantly lower DM, OM, CF, EE, NFE, NDF, ADF and hemicellulose than those of other dietary treatments. There was no significant effect of these supplements on DMI (g/d) and CP digestibility, compared with the control diet (without supplements). The digestible DCP (%), TDN% and DEI (kcal/d) were significantly higher (P≤0.05) for animals fed diets containing 15 % YC than feeding on 5 or 10 % YC diets, while there were no significant effect on TDNI (g/d), CPI (g/d) and DEI (kcal/d). Rabbits fed the enzyme-supplemented diets exhibited significantly lower TDN (%) and DE (kcal/kg) than did those fed other experimental diets. Similarly, significantly lower means of DEI (kcal/d) were recorded by rabbits fed enzyme- or enzyme plus prebiotics-supplemented diets compared with other experimental groups of rabbits, but DCP % and CPI (g/d) were not affected. The plasma levels of triglycerides and total cholesterol were significantly lower for rabbits fed diets with 10 % or 15 % YC than those of rabbits fed the lowest level of YC,, while there was no significant effect on ALT, AST, total protein or urea concentration. Rabbits fed the diets fortified with enzymes plus prebiotics exhibited significantly lower (P≤0.05) levels of plasma urea and triglycerides and significantly higher cholesterol concentration than did the control group. In conclusion, using YC to partially replace wheat bran in growing rabbits diets had no negative effect on the nutritive value of diets. The nutritive value of the experimental diets for growing rabbits could increase by supplementing enzymes plus prebiotics. The present study showed that feeding growing rabbits on diets contained 10 % YC without supplements or feeding on diets contained 15 % YC with enzymes and prebiotics are effective for nutrient digestibility, nutritive value and health status of rabbits.
