Carboxymethyl Cellulose Film Incorporating Satureja khuzistanica and Zataria multiflora Essential Oils for Extending the Shelf Life of Chicken Legs

The aim of this study was to extend the shelf life of refrigerated chicken using carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) film containing essential oils (EOs). The samples included a sample without wrapping film (control), a sample wrapped with pure film (CMC), one wrapped with CMC film containing Zataria multiflora Boiss EO (CMC-Z), and one wrapped with Satureja khuzistanica jamzad EO (CMC-S). The films containing 2.4% EOs were selected for this study. The shelf life of the CMC-Z and CMC-S treatments was extended from 6 to about 12 days when compared with the control sample. The film containing EOs reduced the TBA value compared to the CMC and control samples. Sensory evaluation of the cooked meat revealed that CMC-Z slightly decreased the overall acceptability compared to the control. The CMC-S samples did not show acceptable organoleptic properties (p < 0.05). Packaging containing ZEO can extend the shelf life of refrigerated chicken with the least undesirable effect on sensory properties.
FUSION OF PHOTO WITH AIRBORNE LASER SCANNING

Abstract. Photogrammetry and Laser-Scanning are usually considered as complementary. Integration of these two observation methods has the potential to blend their individual advantages. The resulting benefit is likely to be higher in drone airborne mapping, which payload capacity (and thus the quality of the embedded IMU) is limited. Thus, the trajectory computed by the IMU is subject to important time-dependent errors: even if the global attitude is less adequate, it is self-coherent locally. For this reason, we propose a close integration of Photogrammetry with Laser-Scanning based on the correction of time-dependent error of the trajectory with the help of the image observations acquired by the camera. Apart from the trajectory, this hybridization requires optical correspondences between image and Laser measurements. Such full set of input data is rigorously fused together in a Bundle-Adjustment in order to better determine the trajectory, and thus the resulting point-cloud. The presented theory was practically evaluated in an airborne case against a reference solution.
FINITE DEFORMATIONS MODELLING FOR MATERIALS WITH COMPLEX RHEOLOGY AND RELATED PROBLEMS

Modern additive manufacturing (AM) technologies state for continual mechanics the problems of creating and developing of new mathematical models of growth and deformation of structural materials producing by the AM techniques (see for example [1–4]). Mathematically and thermodynamically correct approaches to mathematical simulation of such non-classical problems and general methods of solution are discussed in studies by [5–14]. The calculation of stress-strain state parameters is needed during the forming processes of material and its following exploitation. In the design of ship hulls and aircraft are widely used panels and profiles of hardly-deformed aluminium alloys [15]. Traditional methods of such structural elements manufacturing often lead to the appearance of the plastic breaks, cracks and other damages. Thus, the effective way of this fabrication is metal forming under creep and low plastic strain rates. These processes ensures the production of construction with high accuracy, which reduces the complexity of assembly and welding, and increase the residual life and the quality of construction. The mathematical description of the processes of thermomechanical treatment of construct materials is faced with the necessity to consider the coupling of elastic plastic and viscous properties of materials at all stages of the producing, exploitation and utilization. Consideration of the problems in the classical models of small deformations is impossible when the relative geometry of the solids is significantly changed. Such problem is the process of viscous-elasticplastic material deformation (for example metals) in vicinity of microdefect under the intensive thermomechanical action. In this case, we are faced to necessity of finite strain models. Well known experiments [15,16] when the long-term strength of metal products after their treatment under hydrostatic pressure is significantly increased. Attempts to simulate such process of the microdefects "healing" in the metal have been made in following publications [17–19]. In study [19] such problems are considered due to the model of large elastic-plastic deformation. In this case, the effect of elastic-plastic continuum adaptability to the cycles "loading and unloading" was shown in [17]. Since classic study [20], lots of plastic flow models with finite reversible and
Frequency Analysis for Hyper-spectral Images And Its Application in Edge Extraction

: This paper introduces the method of frequency analysis for hyper-spectral images and its application in hyper-spectral edge extraction. With systematically analyzing the filtering methods and its applications, that had been used in the field of multi-spectral remote sensing images processing, the authors of this paper have pointed out some disadvantages effecting filtering results, such as the phenomenon of information spreading from pixel to pixel and a wider range of low frequency edges extension by separately filtering a single bands. To resolve this problem and fully use the hyper-spectral information in remote sensing images, the main task of method is to extract a set of different frequency information from original multi-spectral data. In order to test the efficiency of this method in the field of edge detection, the experiments have been done separately in hyper-spectral model and real multi-spectral remote sensing images. The main parameters of method have been fully analyzed, such as filter operators, multi-dimensional correlation coefficients, profile of frequency correlation, profile of continuous high frequency edges, change degree of frequency edges, thresholds of displaying edges. The experiment results show the capability of hyper-spectral filtering method in analyzing hyper-spectral remote sensing data in general and hyper-spectral edge detection in particular.
Ten Year Retrospective Review of Bartter Syndrome at Sheikh Hospital 2008-2018

Objective: Bartter syndrome is a type of autosomal-recessive genetic abnormality with a low prevalence. In this abnormality, due to the mutations in the cotransporters and channeling proteins that are responsible for the transfer of sodium, chloride and potassium electrolytes in the thick ascending loop of Henle, the body throws out a large amount of these electrolytes through the urine. Early birth (prematurity), polyhydramnios, alkalosis and hypokalemia are the most important side effects of Bartter syndrome. Accordingly, quick detection of this can improve the treatment. Methods and Materials: The purpose of the current study is to investigate the symptoms of patients referred to Sheikh Hospital (Mashhad, Iran) over the past ten years due to Bartter's syndrome. Accordingly, by referring to patients' files, information about them is extracted from the historical documents and, statistically analyzed. Patients are also requested to complete a questionnaire, if necessary, through a telephone conversation. Results: Our findings indicated that symptoms including fever, polyuria, polydipsia, nausea and seizure, fever, physical and mental retardation, and one death among 14 participants were reported. Also, the biochemical findings of this study showed that potassium ion (k+ ) concentration in the serum of neonates was significantly lower than normal (p = 0.0001), and the concentration of calcium ions (Ca2+) and urea composition was significantly higher than normal (p = 0.0001). Also, sonographic findings showed that nephrocalcinosis and microlithiasis were observed in the participants in this study. Potassium chloride, normal saline, Brufen and Aldactone were used for treatment. Conclusion: It can be concluded that high concentrations of calcium and urea, low concentration of potassium ion, and complications such as fever and seizure along with polyhydramnios and nephrocalcinosis are the most important symptoms seen in patients with Bartter syndrome in the last 10 years.
Putative Targets as Vaccine Candidates with Respect to Biofilm Formation Procedure in Staphylococci

The amount of multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains, especially methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis, as frequent causes of nosocomial and device-related infections have increased. Biofilm formation is an essential requisite in staphylococcal pathogenicity. It is considered as a bacterial surveillance, antibiotic resistance, and transition of antibiotic resistance genes factor. Therefore, biofilm-related macromolecules have been suggested as putative new vaccine candidates to combat staphylococcal infections. Based on the MEDLINE and Google scholar databases, some Staphylococci macromolecules are involved in the biofilm formation process and have been reviewed as putative vaccines. Based on experiments, common staphylococcus antigens could prevent the progress of the caused diseases by this genus. Moreover, considering related stages in biofilm formation, a multivalent putative vaccine (protein and polysaccharide) candidate could be enhancing the eradication chance of aforementioned bacterial families.

A comprehensive field 13 experiment was performed in Dec. 2017 in a typical industrial city (Shahe, 114.5° N, 36.85° E) that 14 was characterized by intensive NOx emissions due to the local glassmaking industry. The average mass 15 concentration of PM2.5 (fine particulate matter) was 121.6 ± 91.8 μg m during the study period. The 16 average mass concentrations of nitrate and sulfate in PM2.5 were 21.4 ± 16.3 and 15.9 ± 20.9 μg m, 17 respectively. The high mass concentration of sulfate mainly resulted from the oxidation of SO2. In low 18 RH (<40%), SO2 oxidation pathways mainly included gas-phase and heterogeneous reactions. In high 19 RH (>40%), SO2 oxidation related to aqueous was enhanced. In the daytime, nitrate mainly resulted 20 from photochemical reactions because the nitrogen oxidation ratio (NOR) increased with decreasing 21 RH. Mass concentrations of optical organic carbon (OC), elemental carbon (EC), and water-soluble 22 organic compounds (WSOC) were 50.4 ± 31.1, 5.8 ± 4.4 and 12.8 ± 10.1 μgC m, respectively. The 23 EC tracer method revealed that OC from the primary emission accounted for approximately 72% of 24 the total OC. It was identified that there were intense industrial activities near the site in the northeast 25 direction. The results of the potential source contribution function (PSCF) model analysis indicated 26 that the local area was the main potential source area for PM2.5 in the haze. 27

REVIEW OF TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES FOR HEAVY METALS FROM ACID MINE DRAINAGE

The mining activity generates acid drainages that cause a dispersion of heavy metals in the water and soils. Water pollution by heavy metals is a problem in mining areas. Heavy metals have serious effects on the environment and health exposed in various toxicological studies. Over the years, several technologies have been developed to reduce and eliminate heavy metal from acid mine drainages, among others: ion exchange, electrochemical reduction, reverse osmosis, precipitation chemistry, membrane filtration, coagulation and flocculation, adsorption and biosorption. Besides these methods allow the minimization or elimination of the contaminant, they also have disadvantages such as high requirements for reagents and / or energy, generation of toxic sludge and other waste products. This study makes a bibliographic analysis of the most relevant studies on these methods and evaluates the different technologies for heavy metal removal in the particularities of mine drainage.
CO2 efflux in subalpine meadows under different grazing management in Shangrila,Yunnan

Soil carbon stored in the Tibetan Plateau appears stable under current temperatures,but it may be sensitive to global warming.In addition,different grazing systems may alter carbon emissions from subalpine meadow ecosystems in this region.Using a closed chamber dynamic technique,we measured ecosystem respiration(ER) and soil respiration(SR) rates with an infrared gas analyzer in a perennial grazing meadow(PM) and a seasonal grazing meadow(SM) at Shangri-la in the Hengduanshan Mountain area.Both PM and SM showed strong unimodal seasonal variations,with the highest rates in July and the lowest in January.Significant diurnal variations in respiration were also observed in PM,affected mainly by air and soil temperatures,with the highest rates at 14:00 and the lowest before dawn.Both ER and SR rates were higher in PM than SM from June to October,suggesting that the higher grazing pressure in PM increased respiration rates in subalpine meadows.The soil temperature(T) exponential model F=aebT explained the variation in respiration better than the soil moisture(W) model(R2=0.50-0.78, P 0.0001),while the multiple model F=aebTWc gave better simulations than did single-factor models(R2=0.56-0.89,P 0.0001). Soil respiration was the major component of ER,accounting for 63.0%-92.7% and 47.5%-96.4% in PM and SM,respectively.Aboveground plant respiration varied with grass growth.During the peak growing season,total ecosystem respiration may be dominated by this aboveground component.Long-term(annual) Q10 values were about twice as large as short-term(one day) Q10.Q10 at different time scales may be controlled by different ecological processes.The SM had a lower long-term Q10 than did the PM, suggesting that under increased temperatures,soil carbon may be more stable with reduced grazing pressure.

Based on their hosts, number of segments and electrophoresis type of the genomes ,they may represent two new genera of the \%reoviridae\%.
Long-term Rainfall Data Analysis of the Major Stations of Brahmaputra Plain in Northeast Region of India

Objectives: This study explores the rainfall variability and long-term trend in the Brahmaputra plain of northeast region of India. The data analysis is mainly focused on estimating the amount, frequency, and trend of rainfall, using daily recorded data between the year 1950 and 2013. Methods: Linear Regression analysis was utilized to check the correlation relation between elevation and rainfall. The Mann Kendall test was used to detect a significant trend in rainfall series. Sen’s slope method was used to measure the magnitude of trends in rainfall series. The correlation between time and rainfall was estimated by utilizing Kendall’s tau. Findings: Data analysis reveals a heaviest-rainfall pockets zone at North Lakhimpur region, wherein annual average rainfall occurs about 3249.57 mm. Another rain shadow zone has detected at Guwahati, wherein annual average rainfall occurs is about 1706.27 mm. A high-low-high gradient in the spatial distribution of seasonal and yearly rainfall has observed from west to east. A similar spatial trend has also observed from south to north along latitudes. The Linear regression analysis reveals a positive relationship between elevation and annual average rainfall. The Mann Kendall test detected a significant rainfall trend on a monthly and seasonal scale whereas, on an annual scale, no significant trend was detected. Rainfall intensity over each station was observed uniform for most of the years. The frequency of light, heavy and very heavy rainfall over the entire Brahmaputra plain region shows a non-significant decreasing trend. Whereas, Dibrugarh and North Lakhimpur experience decreasing trends in the frequency of rainy day and light rainfall and heavy rainfall respectively with a 5% significance level. Application: The result that comes out from this study shall be useful for the study of soil erosion, water resources management, and agricultural activity and may be useful for adopting flood disaster management policies.
