Preparation and Properties of Encapsulated Fat Powders Containing Speciality Fat and ω/Pufa-Rich Oils

Fat powders with high fat content using three types of fats/oils, namely semi-solid fats like vanaspati, trans free speciality fat, and liquid oils like safflower or flax seed, were prepared by spray drying. The effect of type and quantity of wall materials and additives on total fat and quality of powders were studied and found that casein was effective as wall material to encapsulate maximum fat of up to 75%. Sugar and tricalcium phosphate were found to improve flowability of the powders. The quantity of fat encapsulated depends on type of fat or oil and found that semi-solid fats could be encapsulated at a higher percentage compared to liquid oils. The moisture of powders was 1–2 g/100 g, bulk density 0.3–0.4 g/cc, surface fat 15–19% and angle of repose 50–55°. The powders with bakery fat or speciality fat were lighter (creamish) in appearance compared to those with safflower or flax seed oils, which were light yellow due to the colour of the parent oil. Scanning electron microscopy of fat powders revealed that those prepared with bakery fat or speciality fat and with casein and sugar showed distinct spheres indicating effective encapsulation. Scanning electron microscopy of powders with skim milk powder and also those without added sugar showed aggregation of particles. The powders with PUFA-rich oils had a high proportion of ω-3 and PUFA. Equilibrium relative humidity and storage stability of powders were determined.
Predicting range expansion of an ectoparasite – the effect of spring and summer temperatures on deer ked Lipoptena cervi (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) performance along a latitudinal gradient

The range expansion of organisms towards higher latitudes and altitudes is often limited by colder temperatures and the shorter growth season. In parasites, survival outside the host is most likely to affect their potential establishment in novel environments. We conducted a large scale transplant experiment to predict the potential spread of the deer ked Lipoptena cervi (Diptera: Hippoboscidae), a blood-feeding ectoparasite of boreal cervids. We studied the off-host survival and pupal development of deer ked in five sites along a latitudinal gradient reaching from its current range in central Finland to northernmost Fennoscandia. We showed that the deer ked is able to survive and complete its development even in arctic environments, 500 km northwards beyond the current range. Performance deteriorated steadily towards north, where lower summer temperatures prolonged the developmental period and shortened the suitable host search time by several weeks. The relevance of the experiments for estimating the spread of deer ked to the north is discussed.
Optimization of Bioactive Compound Extraction from Rose Myrtle Fruit (Rhodomyrtus tomentosa, (W.Ait), Myrtaceae) as the Antioxidant Source

Rose myrtle fruit (Rhodomyrtus tomentosa, (W.Ait), Myrtaceae) is one of fruits widely found in Kalimantan. This fruit contains a bioactive compound that has a potential to be used as medicine. The aim of this study was to obtain optimal temperature and time of extraction in maintaining and protecting the bioactive compound in rose myrtle fruit extract by using water as solvent. This research applied the response surface method with central composite design for two factors, namely, X1 (temperature/°C) consisting of three levels: 70, 80, and 90°C and X2 (time/minute) which consisted of three levels of 60, 90, and 120 minutes. Research parameters included total phenol and antioxidant activity. Moreover, GC-MS was used for the characterization of the chemical compound component contained in rose myrtle fruit extract. Optimization of extraction condition resulted in an optimum temperature for extraction of 80.43°C and optimum time for extraction of 85 minutes with an optimum yield of total phenol of 73.77 mg/100 g fresh fruit and antioxidant activity of 1.0385 µg/ml with desirability of 0.892 or 89.2%.
Supplementary Information: Genealogies of rapidly adapting populations

We assume a population of N individuals that replicate at rate B, die at rate D, and mutate at rate μ. For convenience, we measure time in units of generations and set birth and death rate to B = exp(y − λ) and D = 1, respectively. Here, y is the log-fitness of the individual in question, while the population size is kept constant by adjusting λ. Typically, λ is equal to the sum of the mean log-fitness and a small modulation that increases growth rate when the population size falls below the target N0 and decreases growth rate otherwise. We use λ = ȳ− (1−NN−1 0 ) which keeps N within O(N0) of N0. For present purposes, this model is equivalent to a model with strictly constant population size. Different forms of λ that constrain the population size to a different degree are possible [1]. Mutations increment the log-fitness y of an individual by δ drawn from a distribution K(δ). Disregarding fluctuations and assuming fitness differences are small, the distribution of fitness in the population, c(y, t), obeys the following deterministic equation
Brittlestar Beds: Low‐Predation Anachronisms in the British Isles

Two epifaunal, suspension-feeding ophiuroids, Ophiothrix fragilis and Ophiocomina nigra, each form dense populations around the British Isles. The ophiuroids carpet the substratum at densities in the hundreds to thousands per square metre. This investigation compared predation on ophiuroids between dense brittlestar beds and subtidal rocky reef communities. Ophiuroids are far less abundant in rocky reefs, and they occupy cryptic microhabitats. The mortality of experimentally tethered ophiuroids was significantly lower in brittlestar beds, where fishes and a portunid crab, Liocarcinus puber, were rare. Starfish, Asterias rubens, ate small numbers of tethered ophiuroids in brittlestar beds and rocky reefs. The low incidence of sublethal damage (regenerating arms) in brittlestar beds reflects a low natural encounter rate with predators. Dense ophiuroid populations declined precipitously in shallow water at the end of the Mesozoic. The near absence of "modem" predators and the consequent low predation levels in living brittlestar beds support the theory of a large increase in consumer pressure beginning in the Cretaceous.
Genetic Diversity, Antioxidant Activities, and Anthocyanin Contents in Lingonberry

Lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.) wild clones and cultivars were assessed for antioxidant activities, anthocyanin content, and for genetic variability using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. Four ISSR primers generated 113 polymorphic bands in 34 clones and eight cultivars. Cluster analysis by the unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic averages (UPGMA) separated the 41 genotypes into three main clusters, and identified the one remaining clone as an outlier. Within one cluster, the genotypes tended to form subclusters that were in agreement with a principal coordinate (PCO) analysis. Geographical distribution based on country of collection explained 12% of the total variation as revealed by analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA). Antioxidant activity and anthocyanin content were higher in the berries of clones belonging to V. vitis-idaea ssp. minus than those of the V. vitis-idaea ssp. vitis-idaea cultivars. The UPGMA clustering for chemical markers with 11 clones and seven cultivars identified two major clusters and one outlier. The ISSR markers and analyses of antioxidant activities and anthocyanin contents detected a sufficient degree of polymorphism to differentiate among lingonberries, making this technology valuable for germplasm management, and more efficient choices of parents in current lingonberry breeding programs.
IMPLEMENTATION OF ELECTROCHEMISTRY IN CHEMICAL ANALYSIS

Chemical analysis is part of chemistry that concern on sensor of material. There was develop some method in analytical chemistry. Spectrophotometry method was develop early. The some new method was develop in the 2000 century. One of the method is electrochemistry. Electrochemistry has been used for chemical analysis in multiple fields through electroanalytical techniques. Electroanalytical techniques are prominent analytical technique due to high sensitivity, reduction in solvent and sample consumption, high-speed analysis and low operating cost.

This review gives application of different electroanalytical techniques in chemical analysis.
Diagnosis of splenomegaly with one-dimensional diameters in CT scan images in North-East of Iran and constructing a best-fit model for estimation of splenic volume

Introduction: The purpose of present study was to evaluate the accuracy rate of diagnosis of splenomegaly with one-dimensional diameters in computed tomography (CT) scan images and constructing a best-fit model for estimation of splenic volume from the standardized one-dimensional diameters of the spleen to estimates splenic volume with the prolate ellipsoid and a best-fit model. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed retrospectively on 200 patients’ abdominal CT scan images (100 with splenomegaly and 100 without splenomegaly). Six one-dimensional diameters were registeredfor each abdominal CT scan; splenic length (L), width (W) and four sizes of thickness (T1–T4). The volume of spleen was calculated by the following formula (volume= W× T3× π/6) and also by MITK software. Also the formula for splenic volume was obtained by using linear regression. Sensitivity and specificity values were obtained for the one-dimensional index. Using ROC curve, the highest sensitivity and specificity for splenic length, width and thickness was determined to achieve a cutoff point for definition of splenomegaly unidimensionally. Results: In our study the length of 11.33 cm was the most sensitive and specific uni-dimensional parameter to define splenomegaly (sensitivity = 85% and specificity = 89%). The best regression model for predicting splenic volume was calculated Volume=0.4× (L×W×T3) +5 with R=%90. Conclusion: We constructed this formula (0/4× (W×T3×L) +5) with less bias for estimation of splenic volume.

Hippocampal proteomic profile in temporal lobe epilepsy

In this study we used proteomics approaches to obtain the protein profile of human epileptic hippocampi (N=6) and control hippocampi obtained from autopsy (N=6). We used two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-D) coupled to HPLC and Mass spectroscopy (MALDI-TOF) to identify proteins differentially expressed. Nine proteins were differentially expressed comparing the hippocampus of patients with the hippocampus of control. Proteins that were increased in the hippocampus of patients with TLE were: isoform 1 of serum albumin, HSP 70, dihydropyrimidinase-related protein 2, isoform 1 of myelin basic protein, proton ATPase catalytic subunit A, and dihydrolipoyllysine-residue acethyltransferase component of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. The expression of isoform 3 of spectrin alpha chain (fodrin) was down-regulated while the proteins glutathione S-transferase P and the DJ-1 (PARK7) were detected only in the hippocampus of patients with TLE. Taken together, our results provide evidence supporting a direct link between metabolic disturb and oxidative damage related to pathophysiology of TLE. Besides, indicates biomarkers for further investigations as therapies targeted to epilepsy.
Participatory Oriented Method in Developing Tourism Village of Mendak Madiun

In 2017, Madiun Government had been prepared Madiun Tourism Development Master Plan as the main guideline for planning, management and control of tourism development at the district level. It contains vision, mission, objectives, policies, strategies, plans, and programs that need to be carried out by stakeholders in tourism development. The aim of this paper is to contribute to the understanding of community participation in tourism development by examining the fundamental character of the local communities of Mendak, how local communities participate in tourism development, and the right strategy to drive the participation of local communities based on their fundamental character. A stratified and convenience sampling approaches was used to select the sample of 706 households. First, the population of Mendak was subdivides into three sub villages, and then convenience sampling was applied through the selection of each household in the three sub villages. The finding revealed that the local government of Mendak requires assistance in mobilizing the participation of the local communities. The local communities also want to be part of tourism decisions, through FGD as the method of participation.
Real-time Detection of Cyanide in Surface Water and its Automated Data Acquisition and Dissemination System

Use of cyanide in developing countries is rampant, especially in gold mining areas. Though it could cause serious environmental problems, cyanide contamination is of less priority for government monitoring because of the limited resources. The current detection and monitoring schemes of cyanide are the conventional and expensive laboratory-based methods, which need technical capabilities to conduct the actual testing and preparing manual data recording, making it tedious and too laborious. More efforts were directed towards digitizing the data recording from manual laboratory analyses as the manual data recording usually cause problems like delayed information, lost data, and erroneous data entry. Hence, the goal of this study is to provide a cost-effective and zero manual-recording measurement method for cyanide in water samples. This work focuses on the design of electrochemical measuring device with the same capability with the portable or benchtop-type of cyanide meter but with an automated and realtime data recording using global system for mobile communications (GSM) technology. Results of this study showed that with the existing GSM technology and infrastructure of the new monitoring system, the measurements are comparable to that of a commercial bench-type cyanide meter with an R-squared (R2) of 0.9907. It was also noted that data being recorded were intact during wireless transmission testing using the GSM Network. The results obtained suggest that wireless communication using GSM Technology could be applied to environmental monitoring. Importantly, the new developed online system for cyanide monitoring offers significant advantages over the conventional techniques such as low-cost, easy deployment, and ease of use. It can increase spatiotemporal data for better analysis of the data. The automated data acquisition and display through cellular phones are also made readily-available.
Automatic Morphosyntactic and Dependency Annotation of the Anglo-Norman Text Database

Non-standardized languages are an immense challenge for automatic annotation. This paper discusses the case of Anglo-Norman (AN), which is the variety of Old French (OF) spoken and written in medieval England for over 300 years, until well after 1400. In addition to presenting the irregularities in, for example spelling, inflection and word-order that are also characteristic of OF, AN developed particular spelling variants, shows even less consistent case-marking and considerable diachronic variation between the earliest (c1112) and the latest (c1440) texts in the Anglo-Norman text database (Rothwell and Trotter 2005; henceforth “ANdb”). We present the first attempt to provide an automatic grammatical analysis of the ANdb. We applied machine-learning techniques combined with lexicon-driven tools that were trained on OF resources. This paper is organized according to the individual steps in the annotation process: section 1 gives a succinct overview of the historical context and some relevant linguistic peculiarities of AN. Section 2 deals with the automated graphical “normalisation” of the texts. We generated regularized spellings that temporarily substituted the graphical forms during the annotation process to improve the accuracy of lemmatisation, part-of-speech tagging, and dependency parsing. Section 3 describes how a dependency parser developed for Old French was applied to the normalised version of the AN data, and discusses the usefulness of the parsed output for historical syntactic research.
Data Stream Operations as First-Class Entities in Palladio

The Palladio Component Model (PCM) is an approach to simulate the performance of software systems using a component-based modeling language. When simulating PCM models, requests only inﬂu-ence each other if they compete for the same resources. However, for some applications, such as data stream processing, it is not realistic for requests to be this independent. For example, it is common to group requests in windows over time or to join data streams. Modeling the resulting behavior and resource demands in the system via stochastic approximations is possible but has drawbacks. It requires additional eﬀort for determining the approximation and it may require spreading information across model elements that should be encapsulated in one place. In this paper, we propose a way of modeling interaction between requests that is similar to query languages for data streams. Thus, we introduce state into models without sacriﬁcing the understandability and composability of the model.
Vibronic effects in the transport characteristics of STM single molecule junctions

In this thesis, we present a minimal model that describes the effect of a vibrational degree of freedom in the molecule on the transport characteristics of scanning-tunneling microscopy (STM) single-molecule junctions. We consider an STM setup with molecules on ultrathin insulating films, which enables the analysis of unperturbed molecular orbitals of individual molecules [1]. The entire system can be treated as an effective double barrier junction, hence we use the Liouville equation approach to compute its transport properties. Recent spatially resolved vibronic spectroscopy experiments have shown that the number of excited vibrons in a single tunneling event strongly depends on the local symmetry of the molecular wave function [2]. This is in contrast to the Franck-Condon picture [3–5], where the magnitude of vibrational excitations crucially depends on the change of the equilibrium position of the nuclei (which is determined by the global wave function) upon electron attachment. Furthermore, a vibron-assisted tunneling effect has been observed, which facilitates electron transfer between tip and molecule although the tunneling amplitude without the vibrational degree of freedom is vanishing. We develop a theory that confirms these findings and yields selection rules for certain high symmetry configurations. The crucial component of this theory are tunneling amplitudes that depend on the vibronic state and enable vibronic excitations also in absence of any electron-vibron coupling for the isolated molecule. The results for our model show that vibron-assisted tunneling is only possible if the excited modes move the nodal planes of the molecular orbital. Moreover, they suggest that either a mode with a large zero-point fluctuation (comparable to the atomic bond length) or a huge number of highly excited states is needed to bring the present vibron-assisted tunneling effect to a sizable scale.
Bayesian Inference for a Cox-Ingersoll-Ross Model with changing Parameters and Application to Finance Data Master thesis

We consider a continuous-time system modeled by a Cox–Ingersoll–Ross model. The diffusion and the drift parameter can suddenly change their values at discrete times and can thus accout for sudden changes of the system. In this thesis a Bayesian inference approach is implemented in order to obtain the values of the parameters for all discrete time points. We propose a moment matching based approximation scheme for the density of the non-central chisquare distribution in order to compute the likelihood function of a Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling architecture with high efficiency. Using simulated data we show that the inference results of the posterior moments using the proposed approximation under certain conditiones are as precise as computing the likelihood function with the exact density. We further apply the model to real financial data sets and show valid inference results on different time scales using the approximation scheme. I
Rapid blood clearance and lack of long-term renal toxicity of Lutetium-177 DOTATATE enables shortening of renoprotective amino acid infusion

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the feasibility of shortening the recommended 4-hour renoprotective amino acid infusion in patients receiving peptide receptor chemo-radionuclide therapy (PRCRT) using radiosensitizing 5-flurouracil (5FU). We evaluated the clearance of radiopeptide from blood, long-term nephrotoxicity in patients undergoing PRCRT with the conventional 4-hour amino acid infusion and renal uptake in patients receiving an abbreviated infusion. Methods: The whole blood clearance of Lutetium-177 DOTA-octreotate (LuTate) was measured in 13 patients receiving PRCRT. A retrospective analysis of short and long-term change in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in 96 consecutive patients receiving a 4-hour infusion was performed. Renal LuTate retention was estimated using quantitative SPECT/CT in 22 cycles delivered with a 2.5-hour amino acid infusion and compared to 72 cycles with 4-hour infusion. Results: LuTate demonstrated bi-exponential blood clearance with an initial clearance half-time of 21 minutes. Approximately 88% of blood activity was cleared within 2 hours. With the 4-hour protocol, there was no significant change in GFR (1.2ml/min mean increase from baseline; 95% CI -6.9 to 4.4ml/min) and no grade 3 or 4 nephrotoxicity at the end of induction PRCRT. The long-term change in GFR after a median follow up of 22 months was 2.2ml/min/year. There was no significant difference in the renal LuTate retention measured in patients receiving a 2.5-hour amino acid infusion compared to those who had a 4-hour infusion. Conclusions: The greatest renal exposure to circulating radiopeptide occurs in the first 1-2 hours after injection. This, combined with the safety of LuTate PRCRT allows consideration of an abbreviated amino acid infusion, increasing patient convenience and reducing human resource allocation.
