Changes in baking quality of composite wheat/hemp flour detected by means of mixolab

The quality of wheat-hemp composites prepared with different amounts of hemp flour (5, 10, 15 and 20%) was characterised by the mixolab rheological test. The present study is related to three defatted hemp flour types addition, K1 and K2 gained from seeds bred conventionally, and K3 in bio-planting regime. Wheat flour of good baking quality was provided by a Czech commercial mill. Besides the mixolab profiles, basic baking quality parameters were also determined. By analytical methods, protein content, Zeleny’s value and Falling Number were determined. Dough baking quality was tested with the help of three rheological apparatuses, namely farinograph, extensigraph and amylograph. Moreover, laboratory baking test was performed, and specific bread volume was calculated. Mixolab torque data was strongly affected by substitution level than hemp flour type. The most precise distinguishing of samples was observed during the mixing and starch retrogradation phases of the test. Correlation analysis confirmed proper relationships between mixolab and rheological parameters related both to protein properties (C1, C2, C1–C2 vs. farinograph and extensigraph ones) and starch or starch gel properties (C3, C4, C5 vs. amylograph ones). In the former case, the strongest relationship was found between C1 and the dough development time (−0.80, p < 99%), while in the latter between the amylase activity estimation (C3–C4) and the amylograph viscosity maximum (−0.87, p < 99%). Bread specific volume could be predicted by all five basic mixolab C’s. The best fitting correlation was found for C3 readings (starch gelatinization rate, r = 0.87, p < 99%), while links of C1 or C2 (maximum torque as gluten strength and protein weakening) were softer (r = 0.73 and 0.70, respectively, p < 99%).
Increased levels of polymorphism surrounding selectively maintained sites in highly selling species

If selection maintains polymorphism at a site, an increase of neutral variability in the surrounding region is expected, because sites closely linked to alternative alleles at the selected site accumulate mutations as if they were in different populations. Selection thus creates a signal of increased polymorphism relative to the background 'noise' of neutral polymorphism. We show, by a theoretical study, that the effects of balanced polymorphisms on variability are highly localized in inbreeding populations, and that the overall level of variability is strongly reduced by selection against deleterious mutations. This implies that the signals of balancing selection are much stronger than in outcrossing populations.
EFFECTS OF WEB VARIATION ON PREY CAPTURE IN TANGAROA TAHITIENSIS (ARANEAE:ULOBORIDAE) SPIDERS AND THE INFLUENCE OF SUSBTRATE, SPIDER SIZE, AND MATERNAL STATE ON WEB CHARACTERISTICS

Intraspecific variation in web design has been increasingly recognized as an important aspect of spider ecology and behavior. Why intraspecific variation occurs and how it could affect different individuals' foraging or reproductive strategies remains a complex set of interactions which we are still far from fully understanding. In this study, I first show that web variation affects foraging success in Tangaroa tahitiensis spiders by using field measurements to demonstrate that number of attachment points and whether the web was exposed or slanted were correlated to prey capture success. In addition, I found that a combination of diameter, number of attachment points and whether the web was exposed best predicted prey capture success. I further show that variability is largely explained by the spider’s foraging and reproductive needs, and structural constraints of the substrate did not significantly limit these pursuits. Larger spiders build webs with characteristics which are ideal for prey capture, while mother spiders build webs which are more sheltered. Overall, my findings suggest that although certain web characteristics are better for prey capture, web variation in T. tahitiensis spiders persists due to different foraging and reproductive strategies by individuals of different sizes and reproductive states.
Association of colorectal cancer and GIST tumors - A diagnostic and therapeutic challenge: A case report

The association between colorectal cancer and gastrointestinal stromal (GIST) tumors is increasingly cited in medical literature as an argument in the plea for full exploration of patients with digestive malignancies. The coexistence of the two lesions is frequently diagnosed randomly, preor intraoperatively, and may raise diagnostic and therapeutic problems. We present a case of association of a recto-sigmoid junction cancer with a GIST gastric tumor with full imaging and anatomo-pathological description, as well as its surgical and oncological management. Pre-, intraand postoperative histopathological examinations, correlated with immunohistochemical tests, are essential to determine the key points of the therapeutic strategic.

Besides, they contain a wide range of bioactive compounds that cannot be considered as nutrients, however they exert physiological effects on humans. The purpose of the present review is to describe the main nutritional and antinutritional compounds of bean seeds as well as to demonstrate their positive and adverse effects on human health.
An Analysis of the Risks Incurred by the Heritage Tourism in Romania

Preserving and managing heritage assets in a sustainable manner needs correlated long term strategies at national and regional level, as only in this way they will be kept undamaged for the new generations to come. Heritage tourism has potentially many advantages, as it strongly contributes to the regional social and economical development of communities and the research in the field shows that this is a form of tourism which is growing at a steady pace. However, in the same time, alarming reports indicate that due to improper care and due to excessive or inadequate tourism, many heritage assets are in a state of advanced degradation, or even worse, they are on the verge of their disappearance. Therefore, it is essential that specialists and the authorities responsible for the heritage management find the appropriate means for managing the assets themselves, as well as for managing the touristic flows, by taking into consideration all factors that may lead to heritage degradation. Hence, starting from the scientific theories and research in the field, a qualitative research focus group based has been deployed in 2014, with the purpose of identifying the associated risks induced by the Romanian heritage tourism, as they are perceived by the specialists. The focus group was part of a series of workshops dedicated to sustainable regional development through tourism, and the members taking part in this qualitative research were participants with experience in touristic destinations management, regional development, urban planning and environment protection. Thus, the current paper presents the results of the research, namely, the aspects that may obstruct the sustainable development of a region through heritage tourism in Romania.
HpNPV formulations against pests and cell lines JBiopest. 5(2): 201-207 JBiopest 5(1): 1-6 Biosafety of crude and formulated Hyblaea puera (Cramer) (Lepidoptera: Hyblaeidae), Nucleopolyherovirus (HpNPV) against silkworm Bombyxmori (L.), Indian mynah, Acridotherustristis (Linn.) and cell lines

An important aspect of an NPV biocide is its safety to different non-target organisms. The safety of the formulated and crude HpNPV against second instar silkworm Bombyx mori larvae was tested. Larvae fed with crude virus and formulated HpNPV did not show variation in larval weight, pupation percentage, fresh weight of cocoons, shell weight and fecundity. Bird fed with NPV infected H. puera larvae, presence of the viral occlusion bodied was noted in the faecal droppings within an hour of post feeding. Presence of viral particles in the faeces was observed until 24 hrs postfeeding. This suggested that the viral particle did not remain in the body of the bird for long . The test bird behaved normally and remained healthy throughout the observation period of three months suggesting no deleterious effect of HpNPV. Formulated and semi-purified HpNPV was also tested against three cell lines such as human larynx cell line (Hep2), Green monkey kidney cell line (Vero) and Spodoptera frugiperda ovary cell line (Sf-9). After inoculation with the virus, the cell lines did not show any symptom of infection. These studies have explicitly proved the safety of HpNPV.
Chloride levels increase after 13 years of recycled water use in the Salinas Valley

The use of recycled water for agriculture is a long-term water strategy in California. A study in the 1980s in Monterey County showed recycled water increased soil salinity but not to a level unacceptable for agriculture. Most growers in the northern Salinas Valley have been using it since 1998, and yet providers of the water and many growers are concerned that the sustained use of recycled water might cause deterioration of the soil. An ongoing study, initiated in 2000, compares the changes in soil salinity between a field receiving only well water and eight fields that receive recycled water. In 13 years of data, the average soil salinity parameters at each site were highly correlated with the average water quality values of the recycled water. Soil salinity did increase, though not deleteriously. Of most concern was the accumulation of chloride at four of the sites, to levels above the critical threshold values for chloride-sensitive crops.
CHAIR OF COMMITTEE

Over the past 15 years, tremendous advances have been made in the detection and treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Numerous peer-reviewed scientifi c papers are published every month, covering a broad range of topics ranging from epidemiology to treatment. Although the expanded knowledge is welcome news, the information overload has made it diffi cult for clinicians to keep up with the science, much less understand the implications for patient care. To address this need, MacuLogix assembled a clinical advisory board that includes leading educators and private practice clinicians with large AMD practices. The advisory board was charged with the task of developing practical, evidence-based guidelines that can be implemented in a medically-oriented practice.
Microorganisms involved

Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites synthesized by fungi, which can gravely affect human and animal’s health. The methods for detoxification/decontamination of agricultural products contaminated with mycotoxins can be divided into physical, chemical and biological methods. Biological methods were often ignored or with few exceptions were only briefly treated in synthesis articles regarding mycotoxins detoxification/decontamination. This paper presents data concerning the decontamination of trichotecens realized by microorganisms.
Reproductive performance of crossbred dairy cows under smallholder condition in Asella town, Ethiopia

A study was carried out to assess the reproductive performance of crossbred dairy cows under smallholder conditions in Asella town, Oromia regional state, Ethiopia. A total of sixty crossbred dairy cow farmers that owned 3 to 5 cows were interviewed using a structured questionnaire to collect information on age at first service, age at first calving, days open and calving interval. Simultaneously, reproductive performances of 250 crossbred dairy cows of the selected farmers were studied. The overall estimated mean values for age at first service, age at first calving, calving interval, days open, and number of service per conception were 24.9±3.8 months, 34.8±4 months, 372.8±5.9 days, 85.6±5.6 days and 1.52±0.9, respectively. In this study, 35% of the respondents’ came across return rate after the first service in their crossbred dairy cows. In general, the overall observed reproductive performance of crossbred dairy cows was found to be promising considering the management situation and limited supplemental feed utilized in the area. Thus, a sustainable extension service should be established in order to improve animal feed resources management, efficient artificial insemination service and animal health care to bridge the existing gaps.
Paratyphoid in Turkeys

Abstract AN INFECTION in turkeys caused by a Salmonella aertrycke type organism has been found responsible for high mortality in poults in several turkey flocks in Idaho. This organism has been isolated from outbreaks in four widely separated localities in the state. In three instances the disease showed up in poults before they were a week old and resulted in the loss of more than 80 percent during the first 10 days. In one outbreak more than 11,000 of 12,000 poults hatched on one farm died of this infection. In a second flock, less than 200 poults were alive out of 2,000 in one brood when they were seven days old. In the third outbreak, only 80 were alive out of 1,500 at 10 days of age. Rettger, Plastridge, and Cameron (8) in 1933 reported a similar outbreak in turkeys in Connecticut. They found that an organism of the Salmonella aertrycke .

Factors influencing reproductive success in small captive exotic felids (Felis spp.): A multiple regression analysis

Environmental, genetic, and social factors associated with captive maintenance of small felids (Felis spp.) were systematically examined at eight different zoos to determine which of these factors most closely correlated with successful reproduction. Almost half of all the pairings examined failed to produce offspring. However, at least some representatives of the 20 species examined successfully reproduced, suggesting that failure to breed could not be solely attributed to species specific requirements. Multiple regression techniques revealed an association between number of litters produced and number of medical treatments, latitude range of wild counterparts, group size (all negatively correlated), and a positive correlation with husbandry style. These findings have direct relevance to how small cats are managed in captivity. Specifically, when small felids are maintained in groups larger than a pair (1.1), they are not likely to reproduce. Furthermore, a husbandry style in which keepers spent considerable time talking to, and interacting with, the cats under their care was more likely to result in offspring than one in which these interactions did not occur. These and other results generated suggestions for management techniques necessary to assure the continued survival of small cats in captivity.

The entrainment role of photoperiod on hypoosmoregulatory and growth-related aspects of smolting in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)

Potential yearling (1+) smolts were maintained under 8.25 h light: 15.75 h dark and constant temperature (10.0 °C) from late December. Groups were subjected to an abrupt increase to 16 h light: 8 h dark on December 31 (group A), February 1 (group B), March 1 (group C), or March 31 (group D). Group E was maintained under constant 8.25 h light: 15.75 h dark for the duration of the experiment and group LDN was maintained under a simulated natural photoperiod cycle (45°N). Plasma osmolality levels following 24-h, 29‰ salinity challenge tests indicated a photoperiod-independent development of hypoosmoregulatory mechanisms preceding completion of smoltification that was significantly correlated with fish body size. As judged by 96-h, 37.5‰ salinity tolerance tests and changes in condition factor, completion of smolting occurred in sequence; in groups A and B it was advanced to late February, while groups C and D completed smolting in mid-March and mid-April, respectively, compared with late May for group LDN.

Nd:YAG LASER FABRICATION OF SILICON ELECTRODE PLATES FOR A COMBINED-MODE MICRO DIRECT METHANOL FUEL CELL (Fabrikasi Plat Elektrod Silikon dengan Laser Nd:YAG untuk Sel Bahan Api Metanol Langsung

A silicon wafer was microfabricated to produce a new combined-mode flow field for the purpose of distributing methanol fuel throughout the anode side of a micro direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC). Active mode of operation, which generally produces more power, is more suited to higher power requirements compared with the passive mode. Different power outputs using different modes may be required during cell operation by devices that can potentially use the micro DMFC. The new flow field design in the electrode structure of the micro DMFC must manage the methanol fuel transport in either active or passive mode. The flow field area was designed to obtain 50% of the 1 cm active reaction area of the membrane electrode assembly. The proposed design was simulated using COMSOL multi-physics software and microfabricated by incorporating two flow field designs on the anode plate, namely, the grid flow field for the active mode and the porous flow field for the passive mode. The silicon wafer used to produce the electrode plate was a <100> p-type single-sided polished substrate and the MEMS-based microfabrication process to form the required electrode structures was dry etching with laser ablation. The current collector layers used were titanium/copper with a thickness of 1.1 μm and gold with a thickness of 0.18 μm. The completed single-cell micro DMFC obtained a maximum performance of 1.86 mW/cm at a voltage of 138.7 mV.
On the Taxonomies and Typologies of e-Customers in B2C e-Commerce

: In the contemporary business surrounding, posed by the new, so-called ‘ digital economy ’ , the e-Commerce paradigm became a decisive factor for both the survival and successfulness of companies. The whole concept is built on the existence of its two major pillars: the e-Customer and the e-Commerce website. The mutual interaction between these is determined by the e-Customer’s online shopping behavior. Despite the fact that various e-Customers exhibit various online shopping behaviors, they can be categorized into classes, or types, by the similarities of their behavioral patterns. In the paper we distinguish between two kinds of online shopping behavior: the one which refers to the e-Customer’s behavior prior to entering the virtual store (the aspect that is treated by e-Marketers and e-Retailers), and another kind, which refers to the e-Customer’s behavior during online shopping sessions (the aspect that is important to engineers and capacity planners). Both aspects use categorizations of e-Customers int o classes or types, sometimes called ‘taxonomies’, and sometimes ‘typologies’. We also shed light not only on the differences between these two terms but also between the two aspects of online shopping behavior. The latter one leads to Customer Behavior Model Graphs (CBMGs) and e-Customer operating profiles. The rest of the paper deals with some of the issues related to the classical view of classification/categorization and ends up with a brief overview and qualitative analysis of some of the known typologies of e-Customer classes. Simultaneously, by analyzing the definition provided for a given e-Customer class, a cataloging of the factors that led to the introduction of particular e-Customer classes, has been conducted. As a result, two groups of factors have been identified: exogenous and endogenous factors, to describe the external and internal factors, respectively, affecting the online shopping behavior prior and after entering the virtual store. This way, the paper contributes to the clarification, systematization, modeling, and specification of e-Customer taxonomies and operating profiles, which makes the basis for building up predictive models suitable for evaluating performability measures.
The Valuation of Futures Options for Emissions Allowances under the Term Structure of Stochastic Multi-factors

We develop the general model of the futures options valuation under the term structure of stochastic multi factors. Our model analysis suggest the futures options function carry information about the volatility and adjustment speed of arbitrary multi factors, the correlation among multi-factors, and the time to maturity of futures and options contract. We provide numerical examples compare their difference between the actual and theoretical futures options valuation. Our empirical results show the term structure of arbitrary multi factors has significant effect on the futures options valuation for CO2 emissions allowances, we can estimate the theoretical futures options valuation by using historical market information. We can determine the reasonable options price for CO2 emissions allowances and then make right options trading policy in the emissions allowances options markets.
