FATTY ACID COMPOSITION OF FRUIT PULP AND SEED OILS OF HIMALAYAN SEABUCKTHORN (HIPPOPHAE L)

Fatty acid composition of oils of fruit pulp and seeds was studied in 2 elite genotype of Hippophae rhamnoides ssp. turkestanica from ―Madhagon‖ a low altitude (2625 m asl) place, and ―Shego‖, a higher altitude place (3760 m asl), 1 ecotype of H. salicifolia from medium altitude place ―Tinu‖ (3200 m asl) and an exotic ―HI-I‖ (H. rhamnoides ssp. mongolica), all high yielding selections or cultivars, raised at High Land Agricultural Research and Extension Center of CSK Himachal Pradesh Agricultural University, located at Kukumseri (2730 m asl) in Lahaul valley of district Lahaul-Spiti, a dry temperate region of Himalayas. In pulp oils of all ecotypes, unsaturated fatty acids constituted the higher proportion (60.7-52.8%) than the saturated fatty acids (29.9-10.6%) of the total oil. In the seed oils, the unsaturated fatty acids also constitute higher proportion (86.5-51.7%) except H. salicifolia. In pulp oils, the major fatty acids are palmitoleic acid (46.4-37.1%), palmitic acid (28.1-9.1%), linoleic acid (15.0- 6.4%) and oleic acid (6.9-4.0%). Pulp oil of H. salicifolia is richest source of Linoleic acid (15.0% of total oil) and α- linolenic acid (1.3%), also another very important unsaturated fatty acid. However, palmitoleic acid was a major dominating unsaturated fatty acid (46.4-37.1%), being maximum in the pulp oil of ―Madhagon‖ ecotype (46.4%), whereas palmitic acid was a major saturated fatty acid, almost equal in the pulp oils of all ecotypes (28.1-26.4%), except ―Shego‖ ecotype (9.1%). In seed oils, major FAs are linoleic acid (39.8-3.7%), palmitic acid (29.3-8.7%), Oleic acid (27.4-14.8%) and α-linolenic acid (25.4-3.6%), with exception in H. salicifolia. Seed oil of ―Shego‖ ecotype from high altitude was richest source of linoleic acid (39.8%) and α-Linolenic acid (25.4%), which offers the best ratio of omega 6 and omega 3 followed by exotic ―HI-1‖. The pulp oil of ―Tinu‖ ecotype is a useful source for the Linoleic acid (15.0% of total oil) and α-linolenic acid (1.3%), whereas pulp oils of all ecotypes, specially ―Madhagon‖ ecotype are rich source of Palmitoleic acid. The seed oils of H. rhamnoides ssp. turkestanica could be considered excellent sources of PUFAs due to their high contents of linoleic and α-linolenic acids, which in human body are precursors of other long-chain n-3 and n-6 fatty acids.
DETERMINANTS OF INTEGRATION OF LEAN PROCUREMENT METHODOLOGIES IN AVIATION INDUSTRY IN KENYA: A CASE OF KENYA AIRWAYS LIMITED

The general objective of the study was to establish the determinants of integration of lean procurement methodologies in the aviation industry in Kenya. The study findings revealed that: volume purchase had a positive impact on lean integration, the organization had adopted recent information technologies in purchasing of goods/services and maintenance of supplier relationships however inadequate lean information dissemination was carried, the management strategies considered lean practices however employee and supplier involvement was minimal and substantial cost was further incurred in lean procurement methodologies integration. The study further revealed lean integration in procurement was moderate. The study recommended that: employees to be involved in lean policy formulation, proper dissemination of lean procurement information to staff and suppliers, proper monitoring and evaluation of lean integration as well as cost-benefit analysis of lean integration. The study recommended that there was need for setting up purchase volumes which is based on usage, urgency and perishability of the item. The purchase volumes guidelines and the level of integration of lean procurement methodologies need to be well articulated. The purchasing in volumes lowers costs, contributes to continuous innovation and improvement and gives the organization competitive advantage. The study recommended that there is need to have information tools in ensuring integration of lean procurement methodologies. The organization needs to adopt recent technologies in information management such as ERP systems, E-procurement and electronic fleet spares manuals and maintenance manuals. The study recommended that there is need to enhance management strategies in support of the lean procurement methodologies integration. The top management need to emphasize on waste elimination and process standardization audits before purchasing of any goods, the management should emphasize on screening of suppliers and management appreciated the role played by supply chain. There was need to develop lean policies which could lead to incidental cost such as training costs, loss of investment opportunities, replacing of fleets and purchase of lean products compared to conventional in order to enhance lean procurement methodologies integration in the organization. Key Words: Volume of Purchases, Information Tools, Management Strategies, Lean Procurement

Neural network to develop sizing systems for production and logistics via technology innovation in Taiwan

Human body type classifications are very crucial issue, play an even important role for physiology, medical treatment, sports talent and garment production and logistics. The extraction of knowledge from large database has been successfully applied in a number of advanced fields by data mining. However, little research has been done in the area of identifying the significant rules of human body types, using data mining. The goal of this study was to identify the significant rules of human body types from the anthropometric data of adult males, using the neural network-based data mining procedure. Certain advantages may be observed when the significant rules are identified, using the neural network-based data mining procedure. Body types could be accurately classified for physiology, medical treatment, sports talent and garment manufacturing according the newly classification rules. The results of this study can provide an effective procedure of identifying the significant rules for classifying human body type to satisfy the demands of garment production and logistics.
Molecular Dynamics Investigation of the Elastic Constants and Moduli of Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Determination of the mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes is an essential step in their applications from macroscopic composites to nano-electro-mechanical systems. In this paper we report the results of a series of molecular dynamics simulations carried out to predict the elastic constants, i.e. the elements of the stiffness tensor, and the elastic moduli, namely the Youngâ€™s and shear moduli, of various single walled carbon nanotubes. Poissonâ€™s ratios were also calculated. Three different methods were used to run the simulations: applying a predetermined strain and reading the resulted stress, applying forces and constraints to the end atoms and calculating the moduli by assuming an equivalent continuum tube, and lastly applying a predetermined stress and reading the consequent deformation. In each case, the effect of nanotube chirality and diameter was studied. In addition, loading conditions were altered in each method to study the effect of nonlinearity of interatomic interactions. The results of the three methods are compared, with each other as well as with the literature, and discussed to obtain reasonable concluding remarks.
Evidence for supernova-synthesized dust from the rising afterglow of GRB 071025 at z∼ 5

We present observations and analysis of the broad-band afterglow of Swift GRB 071025. Using optical and infrared (RIYJHK) photometry, we derive a photometric redshift of 4.4 < z < 5.2; at this redshift our simultaneous multicolour observations begin at ∼30 s after the gamma-ray burst trigger in the host frame, during the initial rising phase of the afterglow. We associate the light-curve peak at ∼580 s in the observer frame with the formation of the forward shock, giving an estimate of the initial Lorentz factor � 0 ∼ 200. The red spectral energy distribution (even in regions not affected by the Lyman α break) provides secure evidence of a large dust column. However, the inferred extinction curve shows a prominent flat component between 2000 and 3000 A in the rest frame, inconsistent with any locally observed template but well fitted by models of dust formed by supernovae. Time-dependent fits to the extinction profile reveal no evidence of dust destruction and limit the decrease in
Electrical, Structural and Optical Properties of Cu3SbSe4 with High Thermoelectric Performance

Cu3SbSe4 is a promising thermoelectric material due to high thermo power. Although it has a simple crystal structure derived from zinc blende structure. The thermoelectric properties of bulk of this semiconductor compounds, prepared by rapid hot press (RHP) technique at 270EC while Cu3SbSe4 thin films were deposited onto glass substrate (microscopic slices) by chemical bath deposition (C.B.D) at (150EC). Structure characterization was carried out using X-Ray Diffraction spectrum, in order to determine the average crystallite size which found in the range (20-30 nm). The obtained Cu3SbSe4 had p-type semiconductor has low resistivity in the range (0.124 Ωm). AFM micrographs of surface of the prepared film are observed that distance in the range (16-65) nm. The carrier density and Hall mobility in Cu3SbSe4 bulk were in the range 0.591×1018 Cm-3 and 117.3 Cm2/Vs. The band gaps of the Cu3SbSe4 film are determined from UV-Vis spectrophotometer are found to be within the range (1.25-1.5) eV while the energy band gap of Cu3SbSe4 bulk which determined from FT-IR spectrophotometer is (0.362eV) and it corresponds to wavelength (3417 nm). The power factor (PF) of Cu3SbSe4 samples is remarkably improved due to the optimization of whole concentration. Lattice thermal conductivity kL is very low which can be attributed to the strong phonons scattering. As a result, a large thermoelectric figure of merit ZT = 0.35 is obtained for Cu3SbSe4 at 490K.
An experimental study on the influence of the coherent structures to the torque scaling in turbulent Taylor-Couette flow

served almost constant torque values for Ro 0:035 at high values of Res. For Ro > 0:035, however, increasing the rotation number resulted in the decrement of the torque values (Figure 1, right). According to Ravelet et al [5], the change in the scaling is caused by a change in the role of large scale structures and turbulent fluctuations. Dominance of the large scale structures might be the reason that the effect on the dynamics of the flow especially pronounced for high Res. In the present work, we implemented tomographic particle image velocimetry [7] (tomographic PIV), to investigate the flow structure responsible for the change of torque scaling in fully turbulent Taylor-Couette flow. Tomographic PIV allows a fully volumetric measurement of all three velocity components of the instantaneous flow field [7, 8]. Measurements in a volumetric domain lets us quantitatively visualising the coherent structures in 3D. We aim to identify the change of the flow topology and the role of the large scale structures associated to the observed transition of torque scaling in Ref. [4, 5]. We will investigate the role of the large scale structures on the behaviour of the torque for five different rotation numbers at Res = 29000.
Analytical, Nutritional and Clinical Methods Chemical analysis of edible aromatic plants growing in Tanzania

The volatiles from the aerial parts of edible plants growing in Tanzania, Leucas glabrata, Plectranthus laxiflorus, Salvia nilotica and Vernonia smithiana, were investigated by GC and GC/MS. Thirty-five compounds were identified from L. glabrata, representing 80.4% of the total oil; forty-three from P. laxiflorus (86.7%); twenty-four from S. nilotica (94.3%); and thirty-nine compounds from V. smithiana (92.9%). Among the identified components, menthone, (p + o)-cymene, trans-caryophyllene and caryophyllene oxide were found as the main ones. Furthermore, the essential oils were investigated for their antimicrobial activity as well as for their antiradical activity, through the DPPH method. Upon antimicrobial assays, the oil of V. smithiana showed very strong antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria, oral pathogens and pathogenic fungi; the oil of P. laxiflorus also exhibited strong activity, mostly against Gram-positive bacteria and especially oral pathogens, while L. glabrata showed strong activity against all assayed bacteria. The essential oil of S. nilotica appeared to have the most antioxidant activity but was almost inactive against all tested microorganisms. 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Analysis of Garuda Indonesia Flight Service Performance through the Service Marketing Mix Framework

This study aims to map and assess the performance of Garuda Indonesia’s marketing mix elements, then continued by discussion and descriptive analysis of those elements compared with empirical data of Garuda Indonesia performance. Garuda Indonesia airline was Government-owned Civil Aviation of the Republic of Indonesia that currently he was intense competition and price war in the civil aviation industry. However, the airline was able maintain its existence without having participated in such price competition. In addition, the terms of business activity environmentally friendly (green business) succeeded well also adopted, among others, tax and levy scheme as well as the handling of environmental emission reduction thus adding to the financial burden for the airline itself and its customers. Garuda Indonesia successfully proved to be spared from failure in times of crisis and success from 2006 until now. In marketing, there is one of the marketing mix strategies consists of 7 elements (7P 's: product, price, promotion, place, people, physical evidence and process) was instrument in influencing consumers to purchase products or services offered. By mapping those seven elements using of Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) method based on the importance and the performance level of each seven attributes of the elements, then the element results obtained has been well managed and elements that still require more intensive retreatment. These findings are then analyzed based on Garuda Indonesia performance empirical data in managing its seven marketing mix elements. Findings, there are two attributes of the marketing mix element that is mapped in quadrant I, namely attributes of Price/Rate and On Time Performance (OTP), which mean those attributes still need more intensively treatment. While other attributes mapped in quadrant II have been well managed. From the further analysis and discussion on the seven elements can be concluded Garuda Indonesia managed its marketing mix using the approach 'shades of Indonesia', which blended beautifully in packaging of "Garuda Indonesia Experience".
Laser Ablation in Liquid: From Nanocrystals Synthesis to Nanostructures Fabrication

In recent decades, laser ablation of a solid target in a liquid environment has been widely used in preparation of nanomaterials and fabrication of nanostructures. Remarkably, there are many groups that pay attention to this issue in the world, and a large variety of nanomaterials such as metals, metallic alloys, semiconductors, polymers, and etc, have been synthesized using laser ablation of solid in liquid. Therefore, laser ablation in liquids (LAL) has been recognized to be an effective and general route to synthesize nanocrystals and fabricate nanostructures, especially, metastable nanostructures that prefer high temperature and high pressure. Although nanomaterials investigations have been carried out for recent decades, researchers still face a fundamental challenge: how to control phase, size and shape of nanocrystals in the synthesis of nanomaterials, i.e., how to achieve the transformation from nanocrytsal synthesis to functional nanostructure fabrication. For this issue, we, in this talk, introduce recent developments in LAL for the synthesis and fabrication of novel nanostructures with metastable phases and shapes. There are four advantages of LAL over other conventional techniques of nanocrystals synthesis clearly as follows. (i) LAL is a chemically “simple and clean” synthesis, due to the process with reduced byproduct formation, simpler starting materials, no need for catalyst. (ii) There is an ambient conditions not extreme temperature and pressure in LAL, and a variety of metastable phases that may not be attainable by the same mild preparation methods could form upon LAL. (iii) The composition of the new phase of the synthesized nanocrystals may involve in both liquid and solid, which allows researchers to choose and combine interesting solid targets and liquid to fabricate nanocrystals and nanostructures of new compounds. (iv) Phase, size and shape, and pattern of the fabricated nanostructures can easily control by tuning laser parameters and applied assistances.
The Growth Resources Enhancing Lipids for Bio-diesel Production in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

The growth of the microalgae can be enhanced by optimizing the resources which will boost its growth rate and lipid yield. These resources include growth conditions and nutrient concentration and availability. This study sought to determine the effect of the growth resources of light, photoperiod, carbon dioxide and urea concentration and nitrogen limitation on growth rate and lipid production in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Screening and isolation of the alga was carried out from samples collected from the Nairobi Dam and grown in Modified Bold’s Basal Media. Various isolates of algae were collected and C. reinhardtii was chosen as the candidate species. The results indicated an optimum growth at light intensity of 240 µmol m -2 s -1 in an 18-hour photoperiod. The yield data on biomass of the alga grown at this photoperiod had a mean dry weight of 53.5±1.29g after a 3 week growth period while a 6-hour photoperiod recorded 25±1.09g translating to daily increase of 2.5g/day and 1.2g/day respectively. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii showed a tolerance response of 15% CO 2 concentration and a robust growth in urea of 2.4g/l, giving lipid yield of 4.9ml/g of the dry weight. Growth in 1.2g/l of urea also gave a yield of 5ml/g of dry weight. The alga grown in 100gms of nitrogen gave a lipid yield of 0.592g of in contrast to 0.102g for those grown in 250gms.These results showed that by optimizing these growth resources a higher biomass density and lipid yield for bio-diesel production can be obtained from this alga. Keywords : Chlamydomonas reinhardtii , lipids, growth resources.

2 A Declarative Approach to Entity Resolution

As companies gather and process more data from disparate sources, they are relying more heavily on entity resolution. Currently, creating an entity resolution system is a very procedural process. Blocking, transitive closure, and matching must all be pieced together whether by an Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) tool or by a custom program (Galhardas et al. 2000). This is similar to the state of data querying before the advent of the Structured Query Language (SQL). In this chapter, a declarative approach to entity resolution is presented that gives the user the ability to specify what he or she would like resolved while allowing a code generator to determine the best way to resolve it. This chapter does not explore algorithms for blocking, transitive closure, clustering, or matching, but instead refers to papers on those subjects written by other authors (Baxter et al. 2003; Gu and Baxter 2004; Winkler 2000, 2003; Jaro 1989; Bhattacharya and Getoor 2006). Instead a background and defense of entity resolution and declarative languages is presented with a declarative solution and a possible representation. In section 2.2, a background of entity resolution is given. This covers both the rationale for and components of an entity resolution system. Section 2.3 begins the explanation of the declarative approach, focusing on the nouns of the taxonomy presented in this chapter. Section 2.4 continues the explanation, focusing on the adjectives followed by section 2.5 describing the verbs. The nouns, adjectives, and verbs are combined into an example representation in section 2.6 and then the chapter concludes in section 2.7.
Rough-Set-Based Decision Model for Incomplete Information Systems

Databases use the data and evaluate managerial decisions in the process of data mining, and it has become imperative that we give the name of the emergence of the field. The rough set is a concept derived from the fuzzy logic approach to carry out the analysis of structures with uncertain data mining techniques. The decision will be developed in conjunction with computerized decision support model, giving more efficient automation systems with cuckoo search algorithm that are targeted. The suggested decision support system covers the inputs, user knowledge and expertise, outputs, and decision components. In addition, data access, interactive mode, adaptability, and flexible mode provides solutions and decision-making process for certain and uncertain data with suggested rough-set-based algorithm structure.
