Improved performance and saleable meat yield of Euro and crossbred sired grain fed heifers treated with Revalor H

The increasing availability of later-maturing bulls used as terminal sires will probably result in the slaughter of more heifer progeny better suited to the market. It is generally accepted that heifers have slightly lower yields of saleable beef and can be over-fat at slaughter, particularly when grain-fed. The use of “Euro” breeds and hormonal growth promotants (HGPs) are possible tools to manage these shortcomings. This study measured the performance, fat deposition, car-case characteristics and saleable meat yield of 60 late maturing heifers sired by Blonde d’Aquitaine (BA), Limousin (LL) or Wokalup composite (WK) bulls. Half the heifers (n = 30) were implanted with the HGP (Revalor H). The heifers were weaned from their Hereford or Angus x Friesian dams in late December and introduced to the feedlot in January at an average liveweight of 270 +: 3.5 kg (mean k SE, range 214 334 kg). Hay (average of 24% of ration) and gram (barley/lupin/urea) were fed separately ad Zibitm for an average of 113 days with virginiamycin included in the grain mix to prevent acidosis. Heifers were slaughtered at an average age of 390 + 3.7 days (335 450 days) after a fl medium: 29.3 f 0.19% LL, 29.0 t 0.18% BA and 28.2 + 0.15% WK). HGP increased the percentage of both medium (P~O.003) and low (P~O.001) value cuts (medium: 28.4 + 0.16% vs 29.1 A 0.15%; low: 13.3 2 0.24% vs 14.5 k 0.23%).

VOLATILE PRODUCTION IN ´FUJI´ APPLES STORED UNDER DIFFERENT ATMOSPHERES MEASURED BY HEADSPACE/GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY AND ELECTRONIC NOSE

Volatile production, sensory acceptability and electronic nose responses were measured in 'Fuji' apples (Malus x domestica Borkh.) to evaluate the effects of different storage conditions, storage periods and days of shelf life. Apples harvested at 185 days after full bloom were analysed after 5 and 7 months of cold storage in normal atmosphere (AIR: 21% O 2 + 0.03% CO 2 ) and in two controlled atmospheres (CA: 1% O 2 + 2% CO 2 and 3% O 2 + 2% CO 2 ). During post-storage ripening, apples were kept at 20°C for 1, 5 and 10 days before analytical and sensory measurements were made. Volatile production was measured by means of headspace/gas chromatography and electronic nose and the acceptability of apples by a semi-trained panel. Sensor responses registered by 21 different metal oxide sensors of an electronic nose (EN) were used to classify apples using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The PCA model containing data from all fruits (at-harvest and after storage) showed that it was possible to identify fruits recently harvested and under different storage conditions. Principal components 1 (PC1) and 2 (PC2) accounted for 63 and 30% of the total variability respectively. On the other hand, a PCA involving volatile production, sensory acceptability and EN signals corresponding to all fruits allowed a better differentiation between fruits stored at 1% O 2 + 2% CO 2 and 3% O 2 + 2% CO 2 , with an explained variance of 58% (two first PCs).
Effect of Glucose on Thermal Stability of Myoglobin: A Biophysical and In silico Approach towards Stabilisation of Protein

The folding of protein into their compact three dimensional structures has enabled living organisms to develop astonishing diversity and selectivity in their underlying chemical processes generating biological activity, the trafficking of molecules to specific cellular locations and the regulation of cellular growth and differentiation. All these processes require long term stability of proteins and only correctly folded proteins possess this attribute. This study has investigated the effect of glucose on thermal stability of myoglobin. We monitored the heme protein interaction at 409 nm and polypeptide backbone at 222 nm. It seems that the glucose molecule is stabilizing protein heme interaction while destabilising overall peptide backbone.
What are the possibilities of machine learning techniques on the mechanical characterization of biological tissues?

computational simulation is the use of experimental data to estimate different material model parameters, resorting for that purpose to a strain energy function (SEF), all included in the continuum theory of large deformation hyper-elasticity. The constitutive modelling of soft biological tissues has recently constituted a very active field of research.8 These materials have commonly been modelled as hyperelastic continua embedded into continuum mechanical formulations. In this line, one of the main tasks considers the determination of appropriate strain energy density functions, from which local mechanical quantities are obtained. Several constitutive laws have been proposed for soft tissue modelling.1,9‒11, which may be suitable depending on the kind of soft biological tissue at stake. Holzapfel et al.12,13 proposed the most common SEFs for modelling the behavior of blood vessels accounting for two preferred directions, incorporating fiber dispersion with respect to the deterministic preferred orientation direction, and the work presented by Gasser et al.14 which includes microstructural information in the model by means of the assumption of a fiber orientation distribution function.
Parent-Child Collaboration Preventing Obesity and Acquiring a Healthy Lifestyle. A Review Study

Obesity during infancy and childhood is a threat for children’s health and has reached alarming dimensions worldwide. This is one of the most common eating problems with short and long-term effects on both physical and psychological development of the children. Childhood is a critical stage in human life, as developing eating habits lay the foundation for the child's future eating preferences. It is therefore necessary to seek effective interventions to prevent and address the phenomenon. Worldwide Intervention programs aiming at the adoption of appropriate eating habits have been recorded. The data collection was done through the literature review with keywords. In all actions, it was emphasized the priority of the involvement of children’s environment, especially children’s family. Programs and interventions to prevent obesity aim at timely information as well as the increase of the children’s physical activity and healthy eating.
Selection and molecular characterization of Bacillus thuringiensis strains efficient against soybean looper (Chrysodeixis includens) and Spodoptera species

C T Soybean looper (Chrysodeixis includens) and Spodoptera group are important defoliators insects responsible for significant yield losses in soybean, cotton and maize in Brazil. Bioinsecticides and transgenic plants expressing insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis are among the most used sustainable control methods for pest control in agriculture, especially for several lepidopteran species. To provide new components for insect control, this study aimed to select and characterize B. thuringiensis strains toxic to C. includens, S. cosmioides, S. eridania, and S. frugiperda. We performed initial bioassays with fifty B. thuringiensis strains for C. includens and selected four strains – 1608A, 726, 773, and 775E – that caused high larval mortality (100%) to be tested against Spodoptera species. These strains harbored cry insecticidal genes, megaplasmids, absence of β -exotoxin and showed two major proteins about 65 and 130 kDa in SDS-page attributed to Cry protein classes toxic to lepidopteran species. The 1608A and 775E strains also showed high toxicity to Spodoptera species that demonstrate great potential for B. thuringiensis-based bioproduct development and as sources of new insecticidal genes for transgenic crops for multiple pest control relevant in the Brazilian

A seroepidemiological study of respiratory syncytial virus infection in the Littoral Region of Cameroon

BackgroundRespiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is responsible for about 300 000 deaths in young children per year, and 99% of these occur in low-income countries. This study aimed to assess the burden of RSV infection among children less than two years with acute respiratory infections (ARI) in the littoral region of Cameroon. MethodsWe carried out a cross-sectional study in seven health facilities in the littoral region of Cameroon. Venous blood was collected using serum separation tubes from eligible children who visited these healthcare facilities with acute respiratory infections. ELISA determined the seroprevalence of anti-IgM RSV. Factors associated with RSV infection were ascertained using logistic regression. ResultsOut of 100 study participants, the overall RSV-associated ARI seroprevalence was 33% (95%CI:23.6-42.3). Factors significantly associated with RSV acquisition were age below six months (p=0.000) and mixed feeding (p=0.015). ConclusionsThe RSV burden is high among children less than two years with ARI in the littoral region of Cameroon. There is a need for an effective public health RSV surveillance system with standard laboratory techniques and equipment to better understand the RSV disease age-specific incidence, seasonality, and RSV burden among patients in the communities in Cameroon.
Reference modeling for high value added mobile services

The era of mobile communications and mobile services has begun. The ongoing mobile revolution has dramatically and fundamentally changed our daily lifestyles, and it will continue to do so in a foreseeable future. For the next generation, mobile service end users have more demands for such services. This thesis examines the challenging user perspectives in designing and developing high value added mobile services. The aim of this research is to develop reference models and elicit user requirements for 3G and beyond mobile services in order to improve the quality of mobile services. This thesis first examines the existing architectures and models for high value added mobile services, followed by the contributions of the thesis. In this thesis, a Cyberworld model, which is a contribution to the WWRF reference modeling initiative and a specification of the WSI reference model, was developed and it serves as a basis for 3G and beyond mobile services design and development. A series of definitions of the Cyberworld model and a roadmap of the enabling technologies were also built up. The emphasis of this part is on how to describe and model user participation in mobile services. For this purpose, a model of the communication element to represent the components of the wireless world was created. Both static and dynamic reference modeling steps were established to better describe and understand user participation in mobile services. The validation was achieved through the CyPhone navigation mobile service. In order to enhance mobile service mobility, personalisation, and security, an ontology based model was developed to extend the Cyberworld model functionalities. The innovative ontology based mobile system will greatly increase service mobility, personalisation and security, thus improving the quality of mobile services. The ontology based model was illustrated and validated using a healthcare mobile service. A Quality Function Deployment (QFD) approach was adopted in this research in order to elicit, weigh and prioritise actual user requirements and link them to technical design requirements of mobile services. Traditionally QFD is employed in manufacturing industry. This approach is now extended to the mobile service industry for the first time. In this thesis, a detailed step by step QFD approach was proposed for designing high value added mobile services. As a result, the developed mobile services will better meet users' wants and needs which also means that the quality of mobile services will be significantly improved. The QFD approach was validated through a mobile elearning service and another dedicated healthcare service for senior citizens. Through development of reference models and examination of user requirements for 3G and beyond mobile services from user perspectives, this thesis contributes to the design and development of high value added mobile services.

A systematic review on the muscular activation on the lower limbs with five different variations of the deadlift exercise

The deadlift is one of the most widely used resistance exercises by different types of trainees and with different aims including aesthetics, performance and health. There are numerous variations of the deadlift exercise which have different effects on the exercise biomechanics and muscular activation. The main objective of this research was to systematically review the literature looking forward to gathering data on the muscular activation on the lower limbs with different variations of the deadlift exercise (conventional, sumo, Romanian, straight legs and hex-bar). 19 articles met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. Quality of the articles was assessed through the PEDro scale. Main findings were that deadlift is a posteriorchain dominant exercise. Changes in activation between the variations majorly depend on the hip flexion in relation to the knee flexion. For instance, the straight-legs deadlift does not involve knee flexion and mainly activates hip extensors. Other factors such as the distance between the load and the centre of mass, the knee flexion planes, or the total intensity also condition the muscular activation. For example, the hex-bar deadlift allows the subject being in alignment with the load and performing the exercise with relatively vertical back, which provokes an increase on the activation of the knee extensors. In conclusion, this study may help the strength and conditioning professionals and practitioners with the exercise selection depending on the muscular targets and the individual characteristics of the athlete.
Charge Redistribution at GaAs/P3HT Heterointerfaces with Different Surface Polarity

The nature of charged photoexcitations at the interface of highly delocalized inorganic crystals and more localized conjugated polymer systems is of great fundamental interest for a number of hybrid photovoltaic applications. Here we study the interaction between mainstream compound semiconductor GaAs and conjugated polymer P3HT by means of density functional theory simulations. When considering both nonpolar GaAs(110) and polar GaAs(111)B surfaces, we find that polarity of the GaAs surface strongly affects the electronic orbitals and charge redistribution: electrons are efficiently transferred to GaAs substrates, implying the formation of hybrid delocalized states at the interface. Furthermore, P3HT can act as an “acceptor” for GaAs(111)B via hole transfer from GaAs valence band states. Overall the intrinsic surface dipole moment of GaAs surfaces is enhanced by the charge displacement induced by adsorbed P3HT. These theoretical predictions correlate well with energy alignments derived by ultraviolet phot.
Morphological and molecular-based identification of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae), a main vector of Dengue Fever, the first record in Iran after decades.

Background : Aedes aegypti is an important vector for transmission of some dangerous arboviral diseases including Dengue Fever. This study was conducted for the first time in Iran in order to survey the existence of this invasive species in oriental parts of the country located near the Persian Gulf during August 2017 to January 2020. Methods : Different sampling methods were used to collect all stages of mosquitoes in five selected cities of Hormozgan province, south of Iran. After morphological identification, a molecular study based on Cytochrome Oxidase (CO1) gene-specific primers was performed to identify them more precisely. Then, the CO1 gene were sequenced via the Sanger method. Results : Totally, 4560 adults and 3520 larvae were collected from all sampling areas. Thirty-one Aedes aegypti specimens were identified from Bandar Khamir and Bandar Lengeh seaports. Conclusion : Based on the biology and ecology of Aedes aegypti , the possibility of establishment of this species in this region is very high due to the tropical climate of this region. Considering the detection of this invasive vector, high incidence of some arboviral diseases in the neighboring countries, and continuous movements of the settlers of these areas, some potential outbreaks of arboviral diseases can be predicted. Thus, planning and implementing an immediate preventative and surveillance program is vital in order to prevent the establishment of this invasive vector in this area. Keywords : Aedes aegypti , Dengue Fever, vector surveillance, CO1 Gene, Iran
Factors Causing and Countermeasures Study of Employee Turnover in a Research Institute

 Abstract —In current economic climate, turnover becomes a universal social issue. Especially in the knowledge intensive scientific research units, if the employers do not analyze the reason for leaving and adjust the management measures timely, it will not only causes many unnecessary costs, making the enterprise human resources work in the cycle of ‘hiring-departure-rehiring’, but also cause the loss of intellectual capital, hinder the completion of the scientific research and production. This paper takes A Scientific Research Institute as an example to discuss how to carry out relevant human resource management work by studying the reasons of employee turnover, and employee performance with high turnover rate. The suggestion is we should give consideration to the school's comprehensive ranking and employee stability during recruitments, pay close attention to employees of electronic majors and the PHDs by offering proper salary and concerns, and establish feedback mechanism to deal with the complain

Changes in the simulator results showed remarkable improvement in the response evaluation, judgment evaluation, and predictive power evaluation, but showed difficulties in interference tasks and depth perception in common.Conclusions: The results showed positive effects of driving simulator training on the driving ability of the elderly, and consistent provision of such training is expected to improve the quality of life of the elderly by securing the safety of driving and actively supporting social participation.
Data Analysis and Processing Methods of Magnetic Sensor for Measuring Wrist Gesture

As many types of magnetic sensors are widely applied in various industries, the analysis and processing of magnetic sensor data need to be accurate. On the other hand, owing to the complexity of the magnetic field line caused by a moving magnet, the magnetic data generated by magnetic sensors are unpredictably nonlinear. Many industry systems using magnetic sensors have struggled with the nonlinear nature of magnetic sensor data. To reduce the effect of the nonlinearity, they have the target objects fixed firmly. Therefore, to collect accurate and reliable data, considerable efforts have been made to resolve the issues with the expensive tools and systems required. Through this paper, to tackle the issues, the data analysis and methodologies, including intelligent algorithms, are presented for the wrist rehabilitation system using magnetic sensors while being implemented without using expensive tools or systems. On processing magnetic sensor data, this paper adopted an intelligent algorithm, fuzzy logic, and compared the performance of other algorithms for comparison
Quality parameters and oxidative stability of lamb during ageing

The aim was to determine the quality parameters and oxidative stability of colour, lipids and proteins (formation of carbonyls) of vacuum packed lamb at a constant temperature of 2 °C ±1 °C up to 15 days post mortem. The suitability of lamb loin (longissimus lumborum) for ageing and optimal ageing period to obtain optimum sensory properties, especially tenderness and aroma was determined. A sample of 100 g lamb meat contains 23.48 g protein, 69.66 g water and 5.48 g fat. Lamb samples were the most tender after 11 days (both, sensory assessed and instrumentally measured – share force decreased by 61%) and had the best aroma after 15 days post mortem. In the meantime, the lamb became significantly brighter and more saturated (higher L*, a* and b* values), the content of secondary lipid oxidation products increased (1.7 times higher amount of malondialdehyde), and the content of protein carbonyls decreased to the initial value, despite an initial increase observed 11 days post mortem. We found that lamb loin is suitable piece for ageing; the optimal duration of ageing of loins is 15 days post mortem.
