Ultrastructure and Presumed Function of the Pleural Dermal Glands in the Atypical Male of the Parasitic Copepod Pachypygus gibber (Crustacea: Notodelphyidae)

ABSTRACT The topography, external structure, and ultrastructure of hitherto unknown exocrine dermal glands are described in one of the two adult male forms of the ascidicolous marine copepod Pachypygus gibber. The glands are located in the pleural lateroventral zone of the cephalosome. They are composed of three cells: secretory cell, intermediary cell, and canal cell. The secretory cell undergoes transformations involving four successive phases. The final phase leads to an autolysis of the cellular components with emptying of the cell content. An interesting feature is the spatial association of the glandular cells and their pores with sensory cells and their pores, the latter being considered as a chemoreceptor organ. The secretion is thereby in direct contact with dendritic ends devoid of cuticular cover, which protrude outside the copepod via the sensory pores. The various characteristics of this "sensory-glandular" complex, present exclusively in the atypical male (which has an additional free planktonic phase as an adult), lead to the hypothesis of a functional cooperation between the glandular apparatus and the sensory organ.
THERAPY OF PROLONGED APNEA AFTER SUXAMTHONIUM WITH PURIFIED PSEUDOCHOLINESTERASE: NEW DATA ON KINETICS OF THE HYDROLYSIS OF SUCCINYLDICHOLINE AND SUCCINYLMONOCHOLINE AND FURTHER DATA ON N‐ACETYLTRANSFERASE‐POLYMORPHISM

In recent years many authors have tried to characterize different cholinesterases in human serum. If one remembers the many esterase zones of a starch gel electrophoretic pattern of human serum, one really likes to assume the existence of more than one enzyme. However, looking at the esterase patterns of the serum with the ineffective “silent” pyeudocholinesterase (phenotype S ) , there is nothing to be seen, but a faint coloration in the albumin region. But, what is the situation with the enzymatic activities on various substrates such as acetylcholine, benzoylcholine, succinyldicholine, succinylmonocholine and others? Are they metabolized by the same enzyme or not? And what is the situation with the different enzymes Berry’ postulated from saturation curves with benzoylcholine and acetylcholine, and the different inhibition of these activities by dibucaine? If, for example, the hydrolvsis of benzoylcholine at high substrate concentration with the V,:,,, at lo-’ M is due to an enzvme different from pseudocholinesterase, one would expect that it is not controlled by the alleles at the Ellocus. Tests with sera from homozygotes for the so-called “silent gene” are very appropriate to study wch questions. As I demonstrated last year2 analyzing five of these cases, and as Dietz3 found in another case of a “silent gene,” neither benzoylcholine nor acetylcholine are hydrolyzed at high as well as low concentration for more than 3% of normal rate. The same results are to be found with wccinyldicholine.
Development of the Detection Module for a SmartLighting System

The research presented in this paper focuses at the human detection means for lighting areas. In particular, analysis of output sensors signal and software signal processing, analysis of ambient conditions influence on detectors functionality is given. The performed research is based on experiments, conducted at the Future Internet Lab Anhalt. The main goal of this paper is development of the human detection module for a SmartLighting system that satisfies a set of requirements of reliable human object detection. The given tests have been performed using ultrasonic, radio wave and infrared sensors. The analysis of the performed experiments allows us to define a degree of sensors conformance for the aimed SmartLighting applications. As the result of the performed experiments it is also shown that the combination of different detectors provides the most informative parameters about moving object in a control area than any considered single detection method. The hardware design and signal processing algorithm of the detection module have also been implemented in the course of this work. We found out that the sensors combination provides an error probability of less than 1% of human movement detection at distances up to 10 meters.
- 1-Factsheet Chain of Contamination : The Food Link PERFLUORINATED CHEMICALS ( PFCs ) ( INCL . PFOS & PFOA )

PFOS (perfluorooctane sulfonate) and PFOA (perfluorooctanoate or perfluorooctanoic acid) are man-made perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs). PFCs are compounds characterised by chains of carbon atoms of varying lengths, to which fluorine atoms are strongly bonded (Boulanger, et al., 2005a, Dinglasan et al., 2004, Dinglasan-Panlilio & Mabury, 2006, Lehmler, 2005). PFOS and PFOA are both industrially synthesised chemicals, produced in large amounts, and can also be formed by the degradation (breakdown) of other perfluorinated precursor compounds (Lehmler, 2005, OECD, 2002, US EPA, 2003).

Burden of Helicobacter pylori Infections and Associated Risk Factors among Cases of Iron Deficiency Anaemia in Egypt

Introduction: Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) is a worldwide nutritional problem; it accounts for about half of the world’s anaemia burden. Globally, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is becoming an increasingly troublesome economic and public health problem. The colonization of the organism in gastric mucosa may impair iron uptake and increase iron loss, potentially leading to iron deficiency anaemia. The mechanisms by which H. pylori is postulated to cause IDA are H. pylori -associated chronic gastritis resulting in hypo/or achlorhydria, reduced ascorbic acid secretion and reduced intestinal iron absorption, occult blood loss due to chronic erosive gastritis, and sequestration and utilization of iron by Helicobacter pylori. Aims: To detect H. pylori–related IDA prevalence among asymptomatic cases of anaemia and to address the possibility that such infection may play a detrimental role in their blood picture, serum iron and ferritin levels and total iron binding capacity (TIBC) Study Design & Methods: Facility based cross-sectional study was conducted in the period from December 2018 to May 2019. Screening was done for asymptomatic attendants of a number of private laboratories in Beheira, Alexandria and Gharbiya governorates. Three Original Research Article El-Kady et al.; MRJI, 30(7): 80-91, 2020; Article no.MRJI. 58186 81 hundreds of whom were proved to be cases of IDA and were further tested for H. pylori antigen in stool. Results: Helicobacter pylori Ag test in stool was positive in 180 out of 300 cases of iron deficiency anaemia. The infection significantly affected the haemoglobin level, MCV, MCH and RDW in studied cases (p<0.05). Infection with H. pylori also significantly affected the serum iron, serum ferritin and TIBC in the studied cases of IDA (p<0.05). Conclusion: A significant association between H. pylori infection and IDA. Screening for H. pylori among unexplained cases of IDA is recommended.
Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using citrus sinensis peel extract and their application as antibacterial agent

Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) have attracted huge importance due to their distinctive chemical, biological and physical properties. Silver nanoparticles are widely synthesized by the chemical method, which involves the use of toxic chemicals which affects its applications. The bio-reduction method, in comparison with chemical method is more economic and eco-friendly. In the present work, the bio-based production of Ag-NPs was done by using peel extract of orange (citrus sinensis), which played a role of reducing and stabilizing agent. The biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles was optimized by one factor at a time (OFAT) with respect to peel extract concentration, silver nitrate concentration and reaction temperature. The green synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transforms infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Disk diffusion method was used for the study of antibacterial activity of the bio-synthesized silver nanoparticles against the bacteriaEscherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The results showed that at a peel extract concentration of 6%, the temperature of 60C and silver nitrate concentration of 0.1M, the synthesis of Ag-NPs was effective. The orange peel synthesized Ag-NPs showed effective antibacterial activity against both bacteria. However better activity was observed against bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. The results con irmed the synthesis of Ag-NPs using peel extract of citrus sinensis and its role as antibacterial agent.
IMPACT OF SELENIUM SOURCES ON PRODUCTIVE AND PHYSIOLOGICAL PERFORMANCE OF BROILERS

A total number of 210 unsexed (Arbor Acres) broiler chicks at 7 day of age were used to investigate the effects of different sources of Selenium i.e. inorganic (Sodium selenite (SS), organic (Saccharomyces cerevisiae with Se and Zn / SeMethionine/Se-Glycine/ Se-Yeast and Saccharomyces cerevisiae with Se) on the productive performance, blood hematological and biochemical constituents and immune response of broiler chicks. Experimental chicks were randomly divided into seven dietary treatments with six replicate cages per treatment, five chicks each. The first group was fed the basal diet without supplementation (control); while the 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 groups were fed basal diet supplemented with 100 ppm/kg diet of the above mentioned Se sources, respectively. Results showed that chicks fed the basal diet supplemented with different sources of Se had significantly better BW, BWG and FCR compared with control group. Organic Se supplementation improved growth performance of broilers compared with the inorganic one. Supplementation of different Se sources decreased serum levels of cholesterol and LDL, whereas RBCs count, hemoglobin, PCV, glucose, globulin, thyroid hormones, immune response (IgAIgM, IgG), and antioxidant enzymes activity were significantly increased compared with the control. In conclusion, Se supplementation improved the growth performance, immune response and physiological status of broiler chickens. Broilers fed organic Sesupplemented diets had better growth performance and immune response than those fed inorganic selenium.

Characterization of Physical Processes and Secondary Particle Generation in Radiation Dose Enhancement for Megavoltage X-rays

We evaluated the physical properties that occur to dose enhancement and changes from secondary particle production resulting from the interaction between enhancement material. Geant4 was used to perform a Monte Carlo simulation, and the medical internal radiation dose (MIRD) head phantom were employed. X-rays of 4, 6, 10, 15, 18, and 25 MV were used. Aurum (Au) and gadolinium (Gd) were applied within the tumor volume at 10, 20, and 30 mg/g, and an experiment using soft tissue exclusively was concomitantly performed for comparison. Also, particle fluence and initial kinetic energy of secondary particle of interaction were measured to calculate equivalent doses using the radiation weight factor. The properties of physical interaction by the radiation enhancement material showed the great increased in photoelectric effect as compared to the compton scattering and pair production, occurred with the highest, in aurum and gadolinium it is shown in common. The photonuclear effect frequency increased as the energy increased, thereby increasing secondary particle production, including alpha particles, protons, and neutrons. During dose enhancement using aurum, a maximum 424.25-fold increase in the equivalent dose due to neutrons was observed. This study was Monte Carlo simulation corresponds to the physical process of energy transmission in dose enhancement. Its results may be used as a basis for future in vivo and in vitro experiments aiming to improve effects of dose enhancement.
The Effects of Administrative Empowerment on Employees Job Satisfaction in Five-star Resorts in Hurghada City

Administrative empowerment is a critical process for the employees, as it is a contemporary concept that leads the employee to achieve high levels of collaboration, teamwork, self-confidence, creativity, independent thinking and entrepreneurship. In general, the hotel managers play an important role in empowering their employees by giving them the information and responsibilities of the work, as well as, providing an atmosphere of trust between the management levels that help employees in decision-making. Additionally, administrative empowerment gives employees more flexibility and empowerment that help them to improve their performance and loyalty to the work. The study aims to identify the extent of the implementation of administrative empowerment of the employees in five-star resorts in Hurghada City, and its impact on job satisfaction. The study sample consists of employees of the five-star resorts in Hurghada City. This research is applied in 23 resorts of Hurghada City in Egypt. It adopts a quantitative approach for achieving its aims and desired objectives. A convenient sample was selected consisting of 500 hotel staff with an average of 72.4% response rate. A questionnaire is used for collecting data which is later analysed using SPSS version 24. The results indicate that administrative empowerment and its dimensions have a positive effect on job satisfaction. According to the results, the study proves that there is a strong correlation between administrative empowerment and employee's satisfaction in the five-star resorts in Hurghada City. It also recommends that hotel resorts empower and strengthen their employees by trusting in them , giving them the authority to carry out their tasks without consulting the administration, encouraging teamwork and providing them with appropriate training programs as well as communication channels for contacting with senior management. This study contributes to identifying the concept of administrative empowerment, its importance and dimensions as well as enriching the studies on the relation between administrative empowerment and its impact on job satisfaction. However, there is a lack of studies that show the effect of administrative empowerment on job satisfaction in the resorts in Egypt, especially in Hurghada resorts.

Performance enhancement of cooperative networks utilizing MAP decoder and Alamouti code

In this paper, we introduced another methodology for the cooperative network using the maximum posterior (MAP) and the Alamouti code decoding scheme for the multiple-input single-output (MISO) wireless networks that use decode and forward (DF) protocol as a cooperation protocol. Without loss of generality, the considered network consists of one source, one relay and one receiver. A closed-form expression for the upper bound of the bit error probability is derived. The obtained upper bound expression can be utilized in the power optimization problems, relay positioning issue. The results that are shown in this paper clear that the proposed scheme has two advantages over the related work. The first advantage is that it has less complexity. The second one is that it has better spectrum efficiency by using less number of channels. Therefore, our contribution can be summarized in improving the spectrum efficiency and reducing the complexity of the cooperative network, but the paid price is that the bit error rate increases by a little ratio
A COMPARISON BETWEEN THREE CONDITIONING FACTORS DATASET FOR LANDSLIDE PREDICTION IN THE SAJADROOD CATCHMENT OF IRAN

Abstract. This study investigates the effectiveness of three datasets for the prediction of landslides in the Sajadrood catchment (Babol County, Mazandaran Province, Iran). The three datasets (D1, D2 and D3) are constructed based on fourteen conditioning factors (CFs) obtained from Digital Elevation Model (DEM) derivatives, topography maps, land use maps and geological maps. Precisely, D1 consists of all 14 CFs namely altitude, slope, aspect, topographic wetness index (TWI), terrain roughness index (TRI), distance to fault, distance to stream, distance to road, total curvature, profile curvatures, plan curvature, land use, steam power index (SPI) and geology. D2, on the other hand, is a subset of D1, consisting of eight CFs. This reduction was achieved by exploiting the Variance Inflation Factor, Gini Importance Indices and Chi-Square factor optimization methods. Dataset D3 includes only selected factors derived from the DEM. Three supervised classification algorithms were trained for landslide prediction namely the Support Vector Machine (SVM), Logistic Regression (LR), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Experimental results indicate that D2 performed the best for landslide prediction with the SVM producing the best overall accuracy at 82.81%, followed by LR (81.71%) and ANN (80.18%). Extensive investigations on the results of factor optimization analysis indicate that the CFs distance to road, altitude, and geology were significant contributors to the prediction results. Land use map, slope, total-, plan-, and profile curvature and TRI, on the other hand, were deemed redundant. The analysis also revealed that sole reliance on Gini Indices could lead to inefficient optimization.
Extraction, Characterization, and Utilization of Shrimp Waste Chitin Derived Chitosan in Antimicrobial Activity, Seed Germination, Preservative, and Microparticle Formulation

In this study, chitosan was obtained from the chitin of shrimp waste. It was further purified, and the degree of acetylation was measured by FTIR and NMR analysis. Further, it was subjected to antimicrobial activity against wound infection-causing bacteria and phytopathogenic fungi. It was showing good activity against both. It was used as a preservative for grape juice, where it was decreasing the turbidity. The chitosan had seed germination activity on paddy seed. Chitosan was subjected for the formation of chitosan film and subjected for antifungal activity against phytopathogenic fungi, thus used as a preservative on wrapping tomato. It was increasing the shelf life of the tomato. Chitosan was also used for microparticle formulation, where it was able to form microparticles of size about 100 μm and it possessed antifungal activity.

Chemical Composition and Efficacy of Ocimum basilicum L. Essential Oil against Stored Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Molds Sold in Ngaoundere (Cameroon)

The aimed of this study to evaluate the antifungal activity of essential oils of Ocimum basilicum L. on some fungi isolated from commercial rice sold in Cameroon. Fungal isolates were primarily identified based on morphological characteristics, while representative isolates were identified using PCR-based methods. Essential oils were extracted by hydro-distillation, chemical composition was analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and antifungal activity against isolated fungi were assessed using the micro-atmospheric method. The percentage of frequency and abundance varied with the sample analyzed and the fungi detected. Original Research Article Nganou et al.; SAJRM, 7(3): 55-65, 2020; Article no.SAJRM. 60821 56 A total of 85 fungal isolates of eight genera including Aspergillus, Fusarium, Penicillium, Rhizopus, Cladosporum, Mucor Alternaria and Acremonium in decreasing order of predominance were identified. The most fungal species identified were Aspergillus flavus, A. fumgatis, A. niger, A. carbonarius, Fusarium oxysporum, F. graminarum, F. moniliforme, Penicillium citrinum, P. expansum, Rhizopus oryzea, Cladosporum sp, Mucor hiemalis, Alternaria solani, Acremonium murorum. More than 61% (A. flavus, A. niger, P. citrinum) and 44% (M. hiemalis, A. flavus, A. niger) of analyzed samples contain respectively aflatoxin B1, AFB1 (0 17.3 μg/kg) and ochratoxin A, OTA (0 5.2 μg/kg). Citrinin was not detected. The main compounds identified in O. basilicum EO are eugenol (30.6), linalool (29.5), cineole (14.4), Terpinen-4-ol (5.6), 2-norpinen (4.1), Cadinen (3.3), Limonen (2.4) and (E)-β-Ocimene (2.2). The O. basilicum EO exhibit antifungal activity with the MIC range from 750-2000 ppm. This activity varies with the strains and the concentration of EO. The increased prevalence of mycotoxigenic fungi in rice, a highly consumed food grain in Africa, poses serious health concerns to the general public. The O. basilicum EO can therefore be used as alternatives to synthetic pesticide in rice storage.
