IMPACT OF BIOGENIC GOLD NANOPARTICLE ORAL ADMINISTRATION ON OREOCHROMIS MOSSAMBICUS

Nanotechnology is a cutting edge area which amalgamates science and technology expertise to manipulate, measure, formulate, synthesise and monitor materials and devices at nanoscale (1-100 nm) dimensions. These structural novelties are coupled with a cocktail of functional symphonies which rightfully credits nanotechnology as a key driver to have influence on future industrial competitiveness of developed countries. The downsizing of matter to the nanometer level promises a plethora of opportunities ranging from information technology, environment and energy industry to health care, agriculture and f ishery sector to name a few. Thus nanotechnology is projected as the next generation industrial revolution that is poised to revolutionize the present understanding of life and human society from all permissible angles. Gold (Au) exhibits unique and fascinating opportunities at the nanoscale when compared to its bulk form. Synthetic reducing agents are not favoured for synthesizing AuNPs for biomedical applications as traces of such chemicals left unreacted in the process can be harmful. Thus, alternative methodologies to replace synthetic chemical reducing agents for AuNPs preparation have recently been explored. Many plants and microbes have been found to be excellent sources of natural reducing agents. Biogenic gold nanoparticle have been used in the present study to understand its eff icacy on oral supplementation in Oreochromis mossambicus. These gold nanoparticle were prepared using 0.3 M HAucl43H20 (Sigma-Aldrich) and aqueous extract of Emblica off icianalis. Synthesis of biogenic gold nanoparticle was conf irmed from the UV-Vis study of surface plasmon resonance property of the colloidal solution. Juveniles of Oreochromis mossambicus in the range 7+0.35cm and 5+-0.62gm were collected from ADAK, Varkala, quarantined and stocked at 20 f ish/1000L tanks and maintained at laboratory conditions. Experimental diets were prepared by incorporating 100 μl and 500μl of biogenic gold nanoparticle per 100gms of basal feed. Non-treated control diets and Emblica off icianalis extract incorporated diets too were prepared. The experimental schedule was for six weeks and the f ishes were fed at 4% of body weight twice daily. The biological effect was assessed in terms of microbial density alterations and biochemical turnover at selected sites. The microbiological and biochemical data revealed a negative correlation with respect to increase in biogenic treatments.The observations have been statistically analysed and discussed in the light of available literatu.
MEASURING IPO PERFORMANCE THROUGH INDUSTRY- ADJUSTED MODELS SEKTÖRE UYARLANMIŞ MODELLERLE HALKA ARZ PERFORMANSININ ÖLÇÜLMESI

We investigate operating performance of Turkish IPOs between January 2010 and December 2017 through well-specified industry – and performance-adjusted models advocated by Barber and Lyon (1996). We find that issuers underperform matched peers in the long-run regardless of the choice of model. Any improvement in performance is either temporary or precedes the issue. We conclude that performance improvements observed around the issue do not extend to long-term, because better profitability could point to earnings management which leads to earnings reversal, while improvements in leverage and liquidity end when proceeds are exhausted.
A NOVEL TECHNIQUE FOR FINGURE-VEIN FEATURE EXTRACTION AND AUTHENTICATION

- The increasing use of biometric authentication systems in the recent years, makes spoof ﬁngerprint detection an increasingly important thing. Normally people use this biometric finger print authentication using various techniques. But this finger print can be forged using silicon or gelatin gel so to overcome this problem a Finger vein recognition technique is proposed. It is a method of biometric authentication that uses pattern recognition techniques based on images of human finger vein patterns beneath the skin's surface. Finger vein recognition is one of many forms of biometrics used to identify individuals and verify their identity. Finger Vein ID is a biometric authentication system that matches the vascular pattern in an individual's finger to previously obtain data. The technology is currently in use or development for a wide variety of applications, including credit card authentication, automobile security, employee time and attendance tracking, computer and network authentication, end point security and automated teller machines. The demand for simple, convenient, and high security authentication systems for protecting private information’s stored in mobile devices has steadily increased with the development of consumer electronics. The personal information’s can be protected in the form of biometrics which uses human physiological or behavioural features for personal identification.

The restoration area consists of five wetlands and includes the Baihebao Reservoir,Beiyunhe and Liangshuihe Rivers.Considering the characteristics of wetlands,we propose the establishment of national,municipal and county nature reserves,wetland protection and restoration plots and finally municipal and county wetland parks.
Use of phosphatidylcholine in Tris-based extender with or without egg yolk to freeze Bapedi ram semen

Traditionally, egg yolk is a protective agent that is used to freeze semen in various species. However, the addition of egg yolk in extender risks the introduction of disease. Therefore, an alternative cryoprotective agent should be found to preserve ram semen. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of phosphatidylcholine (PC) as a protective agent in extender with or without egg yolk on semen characteristics and acrosome integrity of frozen then thawed Bapedi ram semen. Semen was collected from four mature Bapedi rams, in the Agricultural Research Council (ARC) Germplasm Conservation Programme, using an artificial vagina. Following collection, semen samples were randomly diluted into Tris-based extender (1: 2), with and without egg yolk, and supplemented with four concentrations of PC liposome (0 mg/ml), 0.25 mg/ml, 0.5 mg/ml and 0.75 mg/ml). Supplementation of PC liposome in extender with or without egg yolk did not improve the semen total motility (TM), progressive motility (PM) and rapid motility (RM) rate. The sperm cell membrane integrity in extender with or without egg yolk was not influenced by the supplementation of PC liposome after thawing (P >0.05). The addition of PC liposome to Tris-based extender with egg yolk had a similar result to control (Tris-based extender with egg yolk) on sperm cell acrosome integrity. In conclusion, supplementation of PC liposome to Tris-based extender without egg yolk had lower sperm cell viability and motility rates compared with the extender with egg yolk, regardless of concentration.Keywords: acrosome, cryoprotectant, liposome, membrane, motility
Initiating Effects of Calcium on Pollen Germination and Its Regulative Role in Pollen Tube GroWth

The initiating effects of Ca￣(2+)on pollen germination and its regulative role in pollen tube growth were investigated in Pinus yunnanensis and Nicotiana tabacum. High concentration of Ca￣(2-)(10￣(-1)～IO￣(-2)mol/L)in the medium caused severe inhibition of pollen germination and tube growth,but lower concentration of Ca￣(2+)or Ca￣(2+)-deficiency(10￣(-3～0mol/L)had little effect on pollen ger-mination and tube growth. Measurement of Ca content in germinating pollen showed that there was a significant Ca￣(+2) release from pollen during the hydration and early germination phase. How-ever,Ca￣(2+)specific chelating agent EGTA led to the inhibition of pollen germination,and this inhibi-tion could be eliminated by re-adding excess Ca￣(2+)to the medium containing EGTA. Ca￣(2+)channel blockers verapamil and Co￣(2+)also caused the inhibition or failure of pollen germination, In addition,Ca￣(2+)ionophore A23187 impeded pollen germination and tube growth. Unlike veraparmil and Co￣(2+)treatments,pollen tube growth was more sensitive to A23187 than pollen germination. These results suggested that Ca￣(2+)is indispensible for pollen germination and tube growth although exogenous addition of Ca￣(2+)to the medium is not necessary. The uptake of Ca￣(2+)occurred mainly in early germi-nation phase, and Ca￣(2+)could act as an initiator of pollen germination and also as a regulator of pollen tube growth.
Illumination Analysis of Inactive Indoor Scenes with the Discrete Fourier Transform of Structural Distortions

Light has always played a very important role in human economic activities. Nevertheless, there are only a few popular sources of electric light. While incandescent amps have been popular in the past, they are not energy efficient. In recent years, fluorescent lamps are becoming popular as an alternative and this is especially true for schools and businesses. Probably due to these developments, there has been some significant interest in examining the consistency of the light intensity from electric lamps. While some have looked at this as a means to quickly identify the system components of fluorescent lamps, others have analyzed this to help identify the liveness of the scene. High speed video cameras can easily detect variations in the illumination levels from fluorescent lamps, but they can be quite costly to operate. Moreover, most popular security video cameras can only operate up to a maximum speed of 30 frames per second. This paper examines the use of Structural Distortion as an image quality measure to detect flickering on video signals from the video cameras at low frame rates. Future research is outlined at the end of the paper.
DESIGN THE UPPER LIMB EXOSKELETON ARM FOR REINFORCEMENT THE WEAKNESS IN THE HUMAN MUSCLES

There is a group of patients especially stroke and spinal cord injury that suffering from loss of moving in a particular limb or have hemiplegia needs continuously physiotherapy exercises in order to restore the movement of the limb even a fraction. So, in this study, a device was designed to perform the physical therapy for this group of patients in order to rehabilitate the affected limb. This device called Exoskeleton. The basic principles of the exoskeleton are its dependence on electromyography signal; MyoWare sensor was used to measure surface electromyography signal, this signal goes to the microcontroller which in turn gives the order to the motor to move the actuator arm through a Bowden cable. The exoskeleton is one degree of freedom performs the flexion and extension of the elbow joint. After the design was completed, the exoskeleton was examined on 4 normal persons and then applied to 15 stroke patients and 4 spinal cord injury patients. After several sessions of physiotherapy exercises, the results showed that the benefit of the exoskeleton in strengthening the muscles as well as in increasing the elbow range of motion and in this way the exoskeleton has proven its possible to perform physiotherapy exercises, especially for stroke patients.
The Amount of Intellectual Capital at the Departments of Physical Education of Kermanshah

The goal of this research is determining the amount of intellectual capital at the Physical Education Departments of Kermanshah. The method of it is descriptive-survey and the statistical society consists of all of the staffs of Physical Education Departments of Kermanshah at 2011. Determining the volume was done by Krjys and Morgan’s Table (1970) about 114 persons, but the completed and backed questionnaires were 114 and used the stratified cluster random sampling method proportional the statistical society. The measurement tools for 48 questions of questionnaires were based onBetis and his partners (1991). For deductive analytical data was used statistical methods of one-variable “t” and multi-variables variances (Manova). The results showed that the intellectual capital’s mean (3/08)is larger than the hypothetical mean (3) and it doesn’t show the significant differences. The human capital’s mean (2/94) is smaller than hypothetical mean (3) and doesn’t show significant difference, and structural capital with 3/02 mean is equal to the hypothetical mean and doesn’t show the significant difference.
Relationships between North Atlantic salmon, plankton, and hydroclimatic change in the Northeast Atlantic

The abundance of wild salmon (Salmo salar) in the North Atlantic has declined markedly since the late 1980s as a result of increased marine mortality that coincided with a marked rise in sea temperature in oceanic foraging areas. There is substantial evidence to show that temperature governs the growth, survival, and maturation of salmon during their marine migrations through either direct or indirect effects. In an earlier study (2003), long-term changes in three trophic levels (salmon, zooplankton, and phytoplankton) were shown to be correlated significantly with sea surface temperature (SST) and northern hemisphere temperature (NHT). A sequence of trophic changes ending with a stepwise decline in the total nominal catch of North Atlantic salmon (regime shift in ∼1986/1987) was superimposed on a trend to a warmer dynamic regime. Here, the earlier study is updated with catch and abundance data to 2010, confirming earlier results and detecting a new abrupt shift in ∼1996/1997. Although correlations between changes in salmon, plankton, and temperature are reinforced, the significance of the correlations is reduced because the temporal autocorrelation of time-series substantially increased due to a monotonic trend in the time-series, probably related to global warming. This effect may complicate future detection of effects of climate change on natural systems.
Modelling fluctuating populations

Modelling Fluctuating Populations, originally published in 1982, is a classic textbook because primarily, this book takes a distinctive approach to population dynamics, by emphasizing from the earliest chapters that all populations fluctuate continuously. Traditional themes in theoretical ecology such as equilibrium and population stability are linked to analyses of the response of a population to environmental fluctuations and to extinction probabilities. Thus, the book's approach confronts head-on one common criticism of simple ecological models - the mismatch between the mathematical mechanisms studied and the questions of top ecological concern. Secondly, the book demonstrates the power of techniques based on linear mathematics.
Changes of tree layer aboveground biomass,ANPP to altitudinal gradient in the subalpine secondary mixed forest of Western Sichuan,China

Subalpine forest region of Western Sichuan was located in the outer fringe of southeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau with high mountains and deep valleys,and was covered with subalpine forests,mainly dark coniferous ones. The forest had been greatly reduced and degraded,as a long-term over-logging on a large scale. Natural secondary coniferous-broadleaved forest was one of the main secondary forest types in subalpine region of Western Sichuan,which was originated from the clear-cutting lands between 1950s -1980s due to the overexploitation of coniferous forests. Additionally,it was an important transitional stage in the secondary succession from cutting-blank to climax community. Our objectives were to quantify the aboveground biomass and aboveground net primary productivity ( ANPP) of coniferous-broadleaved forests at different altitude,and to explore whether different response of coniferous species and broadleaf ones to changing altitude was existed or not. Based on the history data of forest management and field survey,we investigated eighteen sample plots of coniferous-broadleaved forests with 40 years old,distributed along four ( A:2900 -3050 m; B:3150 -3300 m; C:3300 -3450 m; D:3450 -3550 m) altitudes from 2900 m to 3550 m,all of which were located on the same slope of Jiabi Mountain in Miyaluo forest region. We sampled 4 or 5 plots with similar site conditions and stand factors in each gradient. All tree layer plants ( DBH ≥ 5 cm) were surveyed and sorted into two groups:broadleaf species and coniferous species,based on the leaf characters. Aboveground biomass was calculated using allometric relationships of this region summarized by other experts. The ANPP was estimated by the mean annual increment method. The biomass and ANPP of tree layer decreased from 157. 07 t/hm2,3. 43 t·hm -2·a -1 to 54. 65 t·hm -2,1. 36 t·hm -2·a -1 respectively,with increasing elevation. The temperature difference and reducing stand density among altitudes were possibly the main factors affecting the stand biomass and ANPP. Individual biomass and ANPP of broadleaf species decreased from 200. 55 kg,4. 96 kg/a at A to 47. 86 kg,1. 19 kg/a at D with increasing altitude. However,opposite conclusion was found in coniferous species. The corresponding values of coniferous species increased from 51. 57 kg、1. 28 kg/a at A to 73. 88 kg、1. 84 kg/a at D. But there were no significant difference at 0. 05 level. This heterogeneity seems to be in part responsible for differences in biological characteristics of species and forest habitat. Correlation analysis revealed that broad-leaf species were more significant and sensitive in response to altitude than coniferous species in this region. The difference of biomass and ANPP between different altitudes may be narrowed down with the global warming.
Framework for classification of music based on tempo using Naïve Bayes and cloud storage

Music is considered as one the best form of expression of emotions. The music that people hear is governed by what mood they are in. The characteristics of music such as rhythm, melody, harmony, pitch, and timbre play a major role in human physiology and psychological functions, thus altering their mood. The Naive Bayes classiﬁer is considered a popular classiﬁcation technique in machine learning. It’s been shown to be very eﬀective on a range of test data sets. However, the strong assumption that each attribute is independent of each other is often violated in real-world problems. In this paper, we have applied locally weighted Naive Bayes to data stored within cloud to automate the process of classification of music.
Probing the Role of Gag in Regulation of Reverse Transcription

The HIV-1 nucleocapsid (NC) domain of Gag has both specific and more general nucleic acid (NA) binding properties. NC acts specifically to recognize and package unspliced viral RNA and as a general chaperone to facilitate reverse transcription by annealing/ aggregating NAs via its highly positive character and by destabilizing NA secondary structure via its two CCHC zinc finger (ZF) motifs. Interestingly, it has recently been reported that ZF deletion or mutation to CCCC results in production of virions containing DNA instead of RNA, rendering them noninfectious. Thus, an additional role of NC is to prevent premature reverse transcription from occurring before or during assembly. Here, we probe the in vitro NA binding and chaperone properties of Gag variants containing the same ZF mutations or deletions tested in the cell-based assays. Fluorescence anisotropy equilibrium binding measurements reveal that mutation or deletion of both ZFs results in a modest reduction in binding to the ψ SL3 stem-loop relative to WT Gag, whereas binding to nonspecific single-stranded NAs is largely unaffected. Similarly, Gag’s ability to aggregate NAs or facilitate tRNA Lys,3 annealing to the primer-binding site, two functions of Gag during viral assembly, was only moderately affected upon ZF mutation or deletion. A time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer assay was used to monitor hairpin stem opening of a DNA hairpin construct. Surprisingly, single CCCC and ZF deletion variants appeared to be more effective at opening the TAR hairpin than WT Gag, and Gag variants in which both zinc fingers were mutated or deleted showed even greater duplex destabilization capability than the single ZF variants. Previous studies with the freestanding NC domain of Gag indicated that NC’s duplex destabilization activity depended on the ZF structures. Our new results suggest that in the context of Gag, disruption of the ZF leads to an increased ability to disrupt nucleic acid secondary structure and we explore possible mechanisms by which this increased capability may cause premature reverse transcription.
The Interactive Hidden Markov Model with real Practical applied

I proposed an Interactive Hidden Markov Model (IHMM) where the transitions of hidden states depend on the current observable states. The IHHM is a generalization of the HMM. I note that this kind of HMM is different from classical HMMs where the next hidden states are governed by the previous hidden states only. An example is given to demonstrate IHMM. I'll extend the results to give a general IHMM
Determination of the modulatory potential of atrazine on selected functions of immune cells isolated from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Atrazine is a widely used compound in major food crops in the world. Therefore, humans and animals are at risk of exposure to atrazine. The purpose of this study was to determine whether different concentrations of atrazine affect the immune cell functions of fish. In the study we determined the proliferative ability of T and B lymphocytes. The phagocytes were assayed for extracellular production of reactive oxygen species in the phagocytic respiratory burst. In the in vitro study fish were intoxicated with atrazine at doses of 1, 2.5, 5, 10 μg/ml. The results have shown the modulatory effects of atrazine on the selected functions of immune cells isolated from blood and head kidney of rainbow trout.
