Review of SEAFDEC/AQD fish nutrition and feed development research.

Research on fish nutrition and feed development at SEAFDEC Aquaculture Department has focused on three major areas: nutrient requirements and their interrelationships, digestive enzymes and digestibility, and practical feed development for important species such as milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal), sea bass (Lates calcarifer), Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), bighead carp (Ari0stichthys nobilis), and tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon). Early studies on the nutrient requirements were mainly on protein, lipid and carbohydrate. Studies on essential amino acids and fatty acids, and optimum proteln:energy ratio in the diets for cultured species were conducted later. Likewise, requirements for other essential nutrients in shrimps, like phospholipid and cholesterol, were studied. Dietary calcium and phosphorus required to prevent soft-shelled shrimps were determined. Requirements for water-soluble vitamins and bioavailability of stable forms of vitamin C were evaluated. Little is known of the vitamin and mineral requirements. The major digestive enzymes in milkfish have been studied. The apparent digestibility of common feedstuffs were determined in vivo and in vitro for milkfish and tiger shrimp, and presently, for sea bass. Development of cost-effective practical feed continues to be a major research undertaking at SEAFDEC/AQD. Diet refinement emphasizes on use of inexpensive and indigenous materials in diet formulations. The feasibility of using legumes, leaf meals, and agricultural by-products and wastes as feed components has been demonstrated. Feed and feedstuff quality control and proper processing techniques were found to improve the nutritional value of low-grade raw materials. Improved feeding techniques and practices have been pursued to minimize feeding costs. Studies on the effect of feeds on the environment are being initiated. Economically feasible grow-out diets for semi-intensive culture of milkfish, Nile tilapia, and tiger shrimp, and diets for broodstock and larvae of these species have been developed. 52 Fish Nutrition and Feeds '94 Proceedings

Re-use and Re-cycling of Automobile Plastics – A Step to Manage Plastic Waste in Ghana

The main aims of this thesis were to identify the disposal and management of cars plastics part after use, find out the effect plastic waste brings to the Ghanaian environment and to identify mesures of improving plastics waste management in the automotive sector, (end-of-life vehicle in accordance with European union deritives). Analysis the benefits of re-using or recycling of plastic waste in Ghana. This thesis done with a qualitative analysis by interviews and observations and was found that, most old plastics parts are usually re-used and that there were very little to do with recycling as Ghana did not have manufacturing car company plants. The plastics which are out of use and are beyond repairs are dumped at landfills. The thesis talks also of end of life vehicles legislation in the European Union and tried to find better ways of improving the waste in accordance with the EU directives. The internet has been main source for this thesis as most of the issues are global. The conclusion shows that, Ghana could solve plastic waste from automobiles if government bodies, companies and individuals adapt to change. As the main problem was found to be the attitude of the people and lack of education.

A Novel Environmental Route to Ambient Pressure Dried Thermal Insulating Silica Aerogel via Recycled Coal Gangue

Coal gangue, one of the main hazardous emissions of purifying coal from coalmine industry, is rich in silica and alumina. However, the recycling of the waste is normally restricted by less efficient techniques and low attractive output; the utilization of such waste is still staying lower than 15%. In this work, the silica aerogel materials were synthesized by using a precursor extracted from recycled silicon-rich coal gangue, followed by a single-step surface silylation and ambient pressure drying. A low density (~0.19 g/cm3) nanostructured aerogel with a 3D open porous microstructure and high surface area (~690 m2/g) was synthesized, which presents a superior thermal insulation performance (~26.5 mW·m−1·K−1 of a plane packed of 4-5 mm granules which was confirmed by transient hot-wire method). This study offers a new facile route to the synthesis of insulating aerogel material by recycling solid waste coal gangue and presents a potential cost reduction of industrial production of silica aerogels.
Social capital in Europe from 1990 to 2012: trends, path-dependency and convergence

Social capital affects many social and economic outcomes; hence, it is important to monitor its changes over time. Previous literature on trends of social capital focused mainly on the case of US, devoting less attention to other regions of the world, such as Europe. This study uses WVS-EVS integrated data (1990-2012) to describe the trends of 10 proxies of social capital in 30 Western and Eastern European countries. The paper demonstrates that the convergence of social capital among European regions was limited, and it shows evidence of path dependency, especially in case of relational social capital.
Multiwalled-carbon Nanotubes/Poly (butylene terephthalate) Nanofibres: Morphological, Mechanical and Thermal Properties

The F-MWNTs were prepared by the introduction of aromatic amine(COC 6 H 4 -NH 2 ) groups onto their side wall via Friedel-Crafts acylation. The diameter ofneat PBT nanofibres was below 500 nm and had smooth surface. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) also showed that F-MWNTs/PBT composite nanofibres mathad similar morphology with that of pure PBT and without beads. The surface of thecomposite nanofibres was also smooth even by adding high quantity of F-MWNTs. TheF-MWNTs were embedded within nanofibres and well oriented along the nanofibreaxis, as confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The mechanical properties (specific tensile strength and moduli) of the PBT nanofibres were signi-ficantly enhanced by the incorporation of F-MWNTs. It was also observed that the melt-crystallization temperature (T
Spatial and temporal variation in population trends in a long‐distance migratory bird

Aim Over the past three decades, evidence has been growing that many Afro‐Palaearctic migratory bird populations have suffered sustained and severe declines. As causes of these declines exist across both the breeding and non‐breeding season, identifying potential drivers of population change is complex. In order to explore the roles of changes in regional and local environmental conditions on population change, we examine spatial and temporal variation in population trajectories of one of Europe’s most abundant Afro‐Palaearctic summer migrants, the willow warbler, Phylloscopus trochilus.
RAPD ANALYSIS OF LINES DERIVED FROM INTERSPECIFIC CROSS Helianthus annuus L . × Helianthus

Interspecific hybridization is frequently restricted by genetic cross incompatibilities, genetic distances and different ploidy levels. To overcome this incompatibility a direct organogenesis method has been used successfully. Different molecular methods have been used for verification of success interspecific and intergeneric crosses. It could be demonstrated by results of RAPD fingerprinting that interspecific hybridization is also a valuable tool for broadening genetic variability in sunflower. The successful hybridization between (H. annuus (cv. Albena) × H. salisifolius) was achieved. In total 21 RAPD primers (10 bp) length were used for the characterization of interspecific progenies. We were able to demonstrate that RAPD could be used for characterization of interspecific progenies in sunflower at a late stage of selection (F9). It was possible to discriminate between the H. annuus parents and their progenies, where an increased genetic variability was detected. Results of UPGMA cluster analysis confirmed the hybrid nature of the interspecific lines and showed that hybrid progenies which originate in the same cross combination formed specific cluster each, i.e., distinct genetic pools.
Aerosol mass and black carbon concentrations, a two year record at NCO-P (5079 m, Southern Himalayas)

Abstract. Aerosol mass and the absorbing fraction are important variables, needed to constrain the role of atmospheric particles in the Earth radiation budget, both directly and indirectly through CCN activation. In particular, their monitoring in remote areas and mountain sites is essential for determining source regions, elucidating the mechanisms of long range transport of anthropogenic pollutants, and validating regional and global models. Since March 2006, aerosol mass and black carbon concentration have been monitored at the Nepal Climate Observatory-Pyramid, a permanent high-altitude research station located in the Khumbu valley at 5079 m a.s. l. below Mt. Everest. The first two-year averages of PM1 and PM1−10 mass were 1.94 μg m−3 and 1.88 μg m−3, with standard deviations of 3.90 μg m−3 and 4.45 μg m−3, respectively, while the black carbon concentration average is 160.5 ng m−3, with a standard deviation of 296.1 ng m−3. Both aerosol mass and black carbon show well defined annual cycles, with a maximum during the pre-monsoon season and a minimum during the monsoon. They also display a typical diurnal cycle during all the seasons, with the lowest particle concentration recorded during the night, and a considerable increase during the afternoon, revealing the major role played by thermal winds in influencing the behaviour of atmospheric compounds over the high Himalayas. The aerosol concentration is subject to high variability: in fact, as well as frequent "background conditions" (55% of the time) when BC concentrations are mainly below 100 ng m−3, concentrations up to 5 μg m−3 are reached during some episodes (a few days every year) in the pre-monsoon seasons. The variability of PM and BC is the result of both short-term changes due to thermal wind development in the valley, and long-range transport/synoptic circulation. At NCO-P, higher concentrations of PM1 and BC are mostly associated with regional circulation and westerly air masses from the Middle East, while the strongest contributions of mineral dust arrive from the Middle East and regional circulation, with a special contribution from North Africa and South-West Arabian Peninsula in post-monsoon and winter season.
Inter-Bank Call Rate Volatility and the Global Financial Crisis: The Nigerian Case

This paper investigated the volatility of interbank call rates in Nigeria using GARCH (1, 1), EGARCH (1, 1), TS-GARCH (1, 1) and PARCH (1, 1) models in the light of the stock market crash and global financial crisis. Using data over the period, June 11, 2007 and May 20, 2009, volatility persistence and asymmetric properties are investigated for the Nigerian interbank call money market. The result shows that volatility is persistent. The hypothesis of asymmetry and leverage effect is rejected. It is found that the Nigerian interbank call money market returns show high persistence in the volatility but it shows clustering properties. The result shows the stock market crash and global financial crisis have impact on interbank call rate return but not on its volatility. The stock market crash and global financial crisis could have accounted for the sudden change in variance. The augmented TS-GARCH (1, 1) model is found to be the best model.
QUELQUES R´ ESULTATS SUR LES CACTUS PLANAIRES

Nous denombrons les cactus m-aires enracines et non enracines selon i) le nombre de polygones, ii) la distribution des couleurs des sommets et iii) la distribution des degres des sommets. Ce probleme est motive par la classification topologique des polynomes complexes ayant m valeurs critiques, etudiee par Zvonkine et ses coauteurs. Le denombrement des cactus enracines selon le nombre de polygones s'obtient au moyen d'une bijection avec les arborescences m-aires. Le denombrement des cactus m-aires selon la distribution des couleurs ou des degres s'obtient au moyen d'une variante de l'inversion de Lagrange multidimensionelle. Finalement, le denombrement des cactus non enracines s'obtient par adaptation d'une methode introduite par Liskovets.
Using the Aerasense NanoTracer for simultaneously obtaining several ultrafine particle exposure metrics

The expanding production and use of nanomaterials increases the chance of human exposure to engineered nanoparticles (NP), also referred to as ultrafine particles (UFP; ≤ 100 – 300 nm). This is particularly true in workplaces where they can become airborne and thereafter inhaled by workers during nanopowder processing. Considering the suspected hazard of many engineered UFPs, the general recommendation is to take measures for minimizing personal exposure while monitoring the UFP pollution for assessment and control purposes. The portable Aerasense NanoTracer accomplishes this UFP monitoring, either intermittently or in real time. This paper reviews its design and operational characteristics and elaborates on a number of application extensions and constraints. The NanoTracer's output signals enable several UFP exposure metrics to be simultaneously inferred. These include the airborne UFP number concentration and the number-averaged particle size, serving as characteristics of the pertaining UFP pollution. When non-hygroscopic particles are involved, the NanoTracer's output signals also allow an estimation of the lung-deposited UFP surface area concentration and the lung-deposited UFP mass concentration. It is thereby possible to distinguish between UFP depositions in the alveolar region, the trachea-bronchial region and the head airway region, respectively, by making use of the ICRP particle deposition model.
Motivation-driven learning of object a ordances: First experiments using a simulated khepera robot

In this paper, we propose a model that integrates behaviour selection and learning of affordances through the monitoring of internal motivations in the context of the interactions that an autonomous robot undertakes with objects in its environment while working towards its survival. To test the validity and effectiveness of this model, we have performed two different sets of experiments. The first one aimed to elucidate the question whether our robot could learn affordances by exploiting the outcome of interaction experiments through the monitoring of its internal motivations. The purpose of second one was to assess to what extent the use of previously learnt affordances in novel interactions could improve the survival of the robot.
Galaxy alignment as a probe of large-scale filaments

The orientations of the red galaxies in a filament are aligned with the orientation of the filament. We thus develop a location-alignment-method (LAM) of detecting filaments around clusters of galaxies, which uses both the alignments of red galaxies and their distributions in two-dimensional images. For the first time, the orientations of red galaxies are used as probes of filaments. We apply LAM to the environment of Coma cluster, and find four filaments (two filaments are located in sheets) in two selected regions, which are compared with the filaments detected with the method of \cite{Falco14}. We find that LAM can effectively detect the filaments around a cluster, even with $3\sigma$ confidence level, and clearly reveal the number and overall orientations of the detected filaments. LAM is independent of the redshifts of galaxies, and thus can be applied at relatively high redshifts and to the samples of red galaxies without the information of redshifts. We also find that the images of background galaxies (interlopers) which are lensed by the gravity of foreground filaments are amplifiers to probe the filaments.
The effect of trace elements on the olivine-wadsleyite transformation

Abstract Multianvil experiments were conducted at 1400 to 1600 °C on olivine and peridotite starting compositions to determine the partitioning of Ti, Al, Cr, Ni, Ca, and Na between coexisting olivine and wadsleyite. All of these elements occur as minor amounts in mantle olivine. Our experiments indicate that all, except Ca, partition preferentially into wadsleyite relative to olivine. The order of preference for wadsleyite is Ni<Na<Cr<Ti<Al, with Dtrwad/ol of about 2 for Ni, 3 for Na, and between 5 and 8 for Cr, Ti, and Al. We observe a tr strong negative correlation between the Si and Cr (+Al) contents of wadsleyite, indicating a coupled substitution of 2Cr3+ for Mg2+ + Si4+. Modeling the influence of the trace elements on the olivine-wadsleyite transformation in the mantle indicates broadening effects on the order of 1-3 km, much smaller than that predicted to arise from mantle concentrations of H2O. Therefore, effects of these trace elements on the properties of the 410 km seismic discontinuity are considered negligible. The maximum solubility of TiO2 in wadsleyite (about 0.6%) is consistent with the suggestion that olivines containing about 1 vol% FeTiO3 could be inverted wadsleyite.
Mitochondrial DNA escape through BAK/BAX macro-pores – implications in numtogenesis underlying aging and cancer

Increasing evidences suggest that the fragments of mitochondrial genome is found in nuclear genome of both normal and cancer cells. The phenomenon of such nuclear integration of mitochondrial genome is named as numtogenesis. Numtogenesis also occurs during aging and may contribute to other human diseases. Although transfer of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) inside the nucleus is known for sometimes, the underlying mechanisms remained unclear. Now a paper by McArthur et al. (2018) shed lights on how mtDNA escapes from the mitochondria to outside the cell through BAK/BAX pores in the outer membrane after the loss of cytochrome c during the apoptosis. It is conceivable this escape mechanism also underlies numtogenesis.
