R 1 0 DDGS Color IS NOT a Reliable Indicator of DDGS Quality and Nutritional

THERE ARE NO GRADING SYSTEMS, OR DEFINED AND REGULATED QUALITY STANDARDS FOR DDGS like there are for corn (e.g. U.S. #2) and other U.S. grain commodities. As a result, misunderstandings can occur between buyers and sellers of U.S. DDGS worldwide. Establishing prices, writing contracts and meeting expectations are problematic in the absence of quality standards. While professionals in industry, government, and academia have discussed, and attempted to develop quality standards for DDGS during the past decade, attempts failed due to disagreements on the need for de ned quality standards and perhaps the fear of increased transparency and ability to distinguish quality and value differences among DDGS sources. Most U.S. DDGS marketers prefer to focus only on maximum guarantees for moisture and ber, and minimum guarantees for fat and protein. However, because of variability in nutrient content and quality among U.S. DDGS sources, many international DDGS buyers often demand more guarantees for speci c quality attributes to minimize their risk of obtaining coproducts that don’t meet their expectations.
IDENTIFICATION OF DRUM OVERHEAD-MICROPHONE TRACKS IN MULTI-TRACK RECORDINGS Keita Arimoto

This paper proposes a system that automatically identifies drum overhead-microphone tracks out of multi-track recordings. The system is designed to perform a binary classification between drum overhead-microphone tracks and the rest based on the following characteristics that are commonly observed in drum overhead-microphone tracks: A) more onsets than the other drum tracks B) catch more percussive sounds than non-percussive C) high onset coincidence with the other percussive tracks. The system is evaluated against 21 multi-track recordings that involve harmonic tracks (e.g. Vocal, Guitar, Piano, .) as well as drums. The system achieved a recall of 95.23% on drum overhead-microphone tracks (42 tracks) and a recall of 92.14% on the rest of the tracks (458 tracks).
PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF HYDRAZINE-MODIFIED POLY ( ACRYLONITRILE-CO-ACRYLIC ACID )

Copolymerization of acrylonitrile (AN) with acrylic acid (AA) was carried out in deionized water (DI) at 40 °C by free radical polymerization method using sodium bisulfite (SBS) and potassium persulfate (KPS) as redox initiators. The synthesis of poly(AN/AA) was investigated with mole ratio of AN/AA; 100/0, 97/3, 95/5, 93/7 and 90/10. The poly(AN/AA) was then modified with hydrazine hydrate via nucleophilic addition reaction. The functional groups, morphology and polymer contents (carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and sulphur) of the poly(AN/AA) and hydrazined poly(AN/AA) were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Elemental analysis respectively. The yield of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) was 73% and decreased as the amount of AA increased. The successful of polymerization was confirmed by the appearance of C≡N functional group at 2240 cm and the incorporation of acrylic acid in copolymer system was established by the appearance of C=O at 1730 cm from the IR spectra. The polymer modification was successfully accomplished by the complete disappearance of C≡N from IR analysis. The SEM images have shown that the average spherical diameter of poly(AN/AA) and hydrazined poly(AN/AA) were ~130 nm and ~150 nm respectively.
Determination of the basic parameters of the high-frequency planar transformer

The study is dedicated to the experimental and analytical determination of the parameters of the π-shape circuit models of high-frequency two-winding planar transformers used in various types of power electronic converters. For determining the winding capacitance, magnetizing and leakage inductances, waveforms of the voltage and current in the primary winding of a no-loaded and short-circuit transformer were used. The resistances of both windings for alternating current and the resistance corresponding to power losses in magnetic core were determined analytically based on Dowell’s and Steinmetz’s formulas, while considering the effect of temperature. The subject under consideration was a 5600 VA planar ferrite-core transformer designed for operating with a rectangular-wave primary voltage of 360 V and a frequency equal 100 kHz. Streszczenie.

This attitude can be motivated by conducting periodic health camps and healthy Nutrition clinics for the adolescents.
0 . 1-10 THz SINGLE PORT LOG PERIODIC ANTENNA DESIGN BASED ON HILBERT GRAPHENE ARTIFICIAL MAGNETIC CONDUCTOR

In this work, a single port toothed log periodic antenna (TLPA) based on Hilbert curvegraphene artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) is proposed for frequency band (0.1–10) THz operation. The bandwidth and resonance frequency of the proposed antenna can be tuned by changing the connected DC voltage which leads tovariation in the chemical potential of graphene. The radiating element of the TLPA isgold patch placed on Hilbert curve graphene AMC. Exponential taper is used to satisfy impedance matching between the antenna and the feeder over the required frequency range. The simulation results reveal that 100 % of the frequency range satisfies < − � when chemical potential is1eV.
n vivo voltage-sensitive dye imaging of the insular cortex in erve-injured rats

The insular cortex (IC) is a pain-related brain region that receives various types of sensory input and processes the emotional aspects of pain. The present study was conducted to investigate spatiotemporal patterns related to neuroplastic changes in the IC after nerve injury using voltage-sensitive dye imaging. The tibial and sural nerves of rats were injured under pentobarbital anesthesia. To observe optical signals in the IC, rats were re-anesthetized with urethane 7 days after injury, and a craniectomy was performed to allow for optical imaging. Optical signals of the IC were elicited by peripheral electrical stimulation. Neuropathic rats showed a significantly higher optical intensity following 5.0 mA electrical stimulation erve injury europathic pain europlasticity ptical imaging oltage-sensitive dye compared to sham-injured rats. A larger area of activation was observed by 1.25 and 2.5 mA electrical stimulation compared to sham-injured rats. The activated areas tended to be larger, and the peak amplitudes of optical signals increased with increasing stimulation intensity in both groups. These results suggest that the elevated responsiveness of the IC to peripheral stimulation is related to neuropathic pain, and that neuroplastic changes are likely to be involved in the IC after nerve injury. © 2016 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

The Effect of Cranberry and Grape Seed Addition on Quality Characteristics of Cookies

The aim of this paper was to study the influence of cranberries and grape seed addition on the quality of cookies. The recipe and technology for making cookies was optimized with addition of cranberries and grape seeds flour. Three samples of cookies, PM, P1 (15% cranberries, 3% grape seed flour) and P2 (25% cranberries, 3% grape seed flour) were subjected to sensory analysis in order to establish consumer's preference. Sensory evaluation using hedonic scale indicated that the sample with 25% cranberries content had the highest score. Both grape seed powder and the finished products have been subjected to physic-chemical analysis, studying moisture content, total protein, ash, total polyphenols and antioxidant activity. Additions bring an important content of polyphenols and increase antioxidant capacity, beneficial to consumers.
New Mexico Community Voices: Policy Reform to Reduce Oral Health Disparities

Using a socio-ecological framework to guide the initiative, New Mexico Community Voices developed, with state and local stakeholders, responsive oral health policies to address oral health disparities. Several policy objectives were achieved: increasing awareness of the public health importance of oral health; improving access to dental services for uninsured or underserved populations; enhancing dental services specialty care; and increasing sustainable oral health infrastructure through pipeline development of oral health providers to relieve service shortages and diversify the oral health workforce. Improving access to oral health and augmenting numbers of dental providers in rural areas were also successful. The governor has appointed the New Mexico Oral Health Advisory Council to address state oral health issues. The New Mexico partnerships have demonstrated how effective policy change can generate important incremental shifts in oral health care delivery and provide best practice models that diminish the oral health crisis faced by underserved populations.
Assessing Cumulative Effects in Kluane National Park

A cumulative effects assessment was performed, under contract with Parks Canada, for Kluane National Park Reserve (KNPR) in the Yukon Territory (Hegmann, 1995a). The assessment focussed on effects on five wildlife species (grizzly bear, dall sheep, mountain goat, moose and golden eagle) caused by current park and regional activities, and particularly, future projects proposed in the Park’s 1990 Park Management Plan (PMP) and in the surrounding region. Projects proposed by Parks Canada must be reviewed under the federal Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA) review process, which requires consideration of “any cumulative environmental effects that are likely to result from the project in combination with other projects or activities that have been or will be carried out” for any “screening or comprehensive study” (Government of Canada, 1995, s. 16.1). A framework was developed to define and guide the assessment process. This included a baseline review of resources, projects and human use; a screening whereby the number of possible cause-effect relationships were reduced to a few hypotheses representing only the most significant relationships; a qualitative analysis of the hypotheses based on a review of the evidence obtained; and a summary and conclusions of significant projects and effects. The analysis incorporated a variety of cumulative effects concepts or tools to assist in the effects evaluation. These included the use of conservation biology principles, observed wildlife responses to disturbances as obtained from the scientific literature, human use scenarios, disturbance nodes. zones of influence and
Multi-loudspeaker equalization for acoustic transparency in a custom hearing device

To improve the sound quality of hearing devices, equalization algorithms can be used that aim at achieving acoustic transparency, i.e., listening with the device in the ear is perceptually similar to the open ear. The equalization filter needs to ensure that the superposition of the processed and equalized signal played by the device and the signal leaking through the device into the ear canal matches a processed version of the signal reaching the eardrum of the open ear. Since equalization using a single loudspeaker typically does not allow for perfect equalization, in this paper we propose to use a multi-loudspeaker equalization filter to achieve acoustic transparency in a custom multiloudspeaker hearing device. The equalization filter is computed by minimizing a regularized least-squares optimization problem. Experimental results using measured acoustic transfer functions show that the proposed multi-loudspeaker equalization filter is able to provide the desired signal at the eardrum for different gains and delays of the hearing device.
Genetic Population Structure of the Hawaiian Alien Invasive Seaweed Acanthophora spicifera (Rhodophyta) as Revealed by DNA Sequencing and ISSR Analyses

Acanthophora spicifera (Vahl) Børgesen is the most widespread and invasive alien macroalga on coral reefs throughout the main Hawaiian Islands. This alga disperses from harbors and ports to coral reefs throughout the state, producing high quantities of biomass that affect a wide range of reef flora and fauna. Population samples of A. spicifera from across the main Hawaiian Islands were collected and compared through two kinds of analyses: DNA sequencing ( based on a variable region of the nuclear large subunit ribosomal RNA gene, and the mitochondrial cox 2-3 spacer region) and fragment techniques (Inter- Simple Sequence Repeats [ISSRs]). DNA sequencing revealed no variation for the two markers, even when collections from other areas of the Pacific and Australia were included. In contrast, ISSR analyses revealed highly structured Hawaiian populations of A. spicifera with a substantial range of both within- and among-population variation, with individual plants forming discrete clusters corresponding to geographic locality.
Mitochondrial and lysosomal protective agents ameliorate cytotoxicity and oxidative stress induced by cyclophosphamide and methotrexate in human blood lymphocytes

Cyclophosphamide (CYP) and methotrexate (MTX) have been evaluated for their ability to induce toxicity in human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) and the protective role of mitochondrial and lysosomal stabilizing agents. The potential toxicity effects of CYP and MTX were measured in vitro by cellular parameters assays such as cellular viability, reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, mitochondrial membrane permeability transition (mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP)) collapse, lysosomal membrane damage, intracellular reduced glutathione (GSH), extracellular oxidized glutathione (GSSG), and lipid peroxidation. Separately, human lymphocytes were treated with concentrations of 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, and 1.6 ng/mL for CYP and 1, 2, 5, and 10 µg/mL for MTX for 6 h. Statistical evaluations showed that CYP and MTX significantly decreased the cell viability at the three highest concentrations when compared with both the negative and solvent controls. In addition, CYP and MTX were significantly induced ROS formation, MMP collapse, lysosomal membrane damage, lipid peroxidation, and GSH depletion compared with the controls. Mitochondrial and lysosomal protective agents like cyclosporine A and chloroquine, respectively, decreased cytotoxicity and oxidative stress induced by CYP and MTX. The present results indicate that CYP and MTX are toxic to human PBLs and their toxicity could be ameliorated by mitochondrial and lysosomal protective agents.
Synthesis, electronic spectroscopy and photochemistry of methacrolein oxide: A four carbon unsaturated Criegee intermediate from isoprene ozonolysis.

Ozonolysis of isoprene, one of the most abundant volatile organic compounds in the Earth's atmosphere, generates the four-carbon unsaturated methacrolein oxide (MACR-oxide) Criegee intermediate. The first laboratory synthesis and direct detection of MACR-oxide is achieved through reaction of photolytically generated, resonance-stabilized iodoalkene radicals with oxygen. MACR-oxide is characterized on its first π*←π electronic transition using a ground state depletion method. MACR-oxide exhibits a broad UV-visible spectrum peaked at 380 nm with weak oscillatory structure at long wavelengths ascribed to vibrational resonances. Complementary theory predicts two strong π*←π transitions arising from extended conjugation across MACR-oxide with overlapping contributions from its four conformers. Electronic promotion to the 11ππ* state agrees well with experiment, and results in nonadiabatic coupling and prompt release of O 1D products observed as anisotropic velocity map images. This sensitive detection scheme will enable study of its unimolecular and bimolecular reactions under atmospheric conditions.
Identification of candidate genes for key fibre‐related QTLs and derivation of favourable alleles in Gossypium hirsutum recombinant inbred lines with G. barbadense introgressions

Summary Fine mapping QTLs and identifying candidate genes for cotton fibre‐quality and yield traits would be beneficial to cotton breeding. Here, we constructed a high‐density genetic map by specific‐locus amplified fragment sequencing (SLAF‐seq) to identify QTLs associated with fibre‐quality and yield traits using 239 recombinant inbred lines (RILs), which was developed from LMY22 (a high‐yield Gossypium hirsutumL. cultivar) × LY343 (a superior fibre‐quality germplasm with G. barbadenseL. introgressions). The genetic map spanned 3426.57 cM, including 3556 SLAF‐based SNPs and 199 SSR marker loci. A total of 104 QTLs, including 67 QTLs for fibre quality and 37 QTLs for yield traits, were identified with phenotypic data collected from 7 environments. Among these, 66 QTLs were co‐located in 19 QTL clusters on 12 chromosomes, and 24 QTLs were detected in three or more environments and determined to be stable. We also investigated the genomic components of LY343 and their contributions to fibre‐related traits by deep sequencing the whole genome of LY343, and we found that genomic components from G. hirsutum races (which entered LY343 via its G. barbadense parent) contributed more favourable alleles than those from G. barbadense. We further identified six putative candidate genes for stable QTLs, including Gh_A03G1147 (GhPEL6), Gh_D07G1598 (GhCSLC6) and Gh_D13G1921 (GhTBL5) for fibre‐length QTLs and Gh_D03G0919 (GhCOBL4), Gh_D09G1659 (GhMYB4) and Gh_D09G1690 (GhMYB85) for lint‐percentage QTLs. Our results provide comprehensive insight into the genetic basis of the formation of fibre‐related traits and would be helpful for cloning fibre‐development‐related genes as well as for marker‐assisted genetic improvement in cotton.
The study of mechanism of miR-34c-5p targeting FLOT2 to regulate proliferation, migration and invasion of osteosarcoma cells

Abstract Objective Osteosarcoma is one of the most common malignancies in children and adolescents. Studies have shown that miR-34c-5p is involved in the progression of various cancers. To explore the effects of miR-34c-5p on the proliferation, migration and invasion of osteosarcoma cells and its potential mechanism. Methods qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression levels of miR-34c-5p and FLOT2 mRNA in osteosarcoma tissues and cells. Western Blot was used to detect protein expression. MTT assay used to detect cell viability. Transwell was used to detect cell migration and invasion in each group. Dual luciferase reporter gene assay was used to detect luciferase activity. Results The expression of miR-34c-5pwas significantly decreased in osteosarcoma tissues and cells and the expression level of FLOT2 mRNA was significantly increased. Overexpression of miR-34c-5p and inhibition of FLOT2 inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of osteosarcoma cells and inhibited the expression of Cyclin D1, MMP-2 and MMP-9 proteins and promoted the expression of p21 protein. miR-34c-5p targeted to regulate the expression of FLOT2. Overexpression of FLOT2 reversed the inhibitory effect of miR-34c-5p overexpression on proliferation, migration and invasion of osteosarcoma cell lines. Conclusion miR-34c-5p can inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of osteosarcoma cells. The mechanism may be related to targeting FLOT2, which will provide a new target for the prevention and treatment of osteosarcoma.
Smashing the Screen Violent Video Game Effects

Nancy A. Cheever, and L. Mark Carrier. © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Published 2015 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. In 1965, Gordon Moore noted that computer processing power had roughly doubled every two years. He predicted that trend would continue for at least 10 years more (Moore, 1965). It turned out that prediction was much too conservative. In the twenty‐first century, our technologies have become ubiquitous, yet are replaced in time spans that would have felt ludicrously short for scientists of 100, 70, or even 30 years ago. One now‐pervasive technology is video games. A far cry from the pixelated Space Invaders, or a jumping plumber (who became Italian because a fluffy mustache was the only way to distinguish his nose from his mouth), we have now brought our digitized entertainment to nearly full‐immersion alternate‐reality experiences. Co‐ emerging with the increasingly advanced art and storytelling has been the increasingly broad access to video games. Video games have moved from arcades to colonizing our homes and even our bodies, becoming available on the computers on our desks, the consoles in our entertainment centers, the tablets in our bags, and the smartphones in our pockets. Video games include varied applications from the educational to the professional to the entertaining. They cover a wide range of genres, and involve a wide spectrum of physical, emotional, and cognitive skill to use them effectively, and to compete with ourselves and others. Worldwide, over half a billion people play video games at least an hour a day (McGonigal, 2010). The average personal time spent gaming has gone up as well (Escobar‐Chaves & Anderson, 2008; Gentile & Anderson, 2003; Rideout, Foehr, & Roberts, 2010). The average gamer spends eight hours a week in online play, virtually a part‐time job (NPD Group, 2010), and the average young adult racks up 10,000 hours of game‐playing by the time they turn 21, a nearly hour‐for‐hour equivalent to the time spent attending all of middle and high school (McGonigal, 2010). Collectively, we spend three billion hours a week playing video games. Anything people do, however, has the opportunity to affect them. The violent content of many popular games has engendered particular concern.
