Abnormal eye movements in hyperkinetic children with learning disability.

: Eye movements were studied in 29 school children aged 6--12 years diagnosed as having Hyperactivity (HA) with Learning Disabilities (LD) and compared to an age matched control group of 32 children. The children had to track a moving target on a metronome and a canopy, to maintain eye fixation on a stationary target and to read a standard reading material. Accuracy, nystagmoid, reversal and overshoot movements were observed, as well as head movements and blinks. Persistence and deviations were monitored during fixation; duration, accuracy, number of fixations and reversals were monitored during reading. The tracking accuracy and fixation persistence were significantly inferior in the HA-LD children as compared to the control group in most items. This correlated well with the inferior performance on the reading task. This study supports the hypothesis that children with MBD and learning disabilities have primary defects in the motor control of eye movements which contribute significantly to their reading difficulties.
Antibacterial activity of date palm cake extracts (Phoenix dactylifera)

Abstract Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest hazards globally that is leading to prolonged hospital stay, inflated medical expenditures and increased morbidity and mortality. Many natural compounds have intrinsic antibacterial activity which needs to be exploited for their clinical use. Given its nutritional value, Date palm is considered as an essential nourishing source in many countries while the Date seed beverage is consumed locally to promote the health. The aim of our research is to assess the active constituents from date palm seed cake for their antimicrobial activity. Extraction of the date seed powder using high polarity solvents i.e. hexane and ethyl-acetate using cold extraction method. The isolates were later assessed for antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria using agar-well diffusion method.The ethyl-acetate extract in a 10% Dimethyl sulfoxide exhibited effective inhibition of bacterial growth in comparison with gentamycin. Potential antibacterial activity of ethyl acetate extract was observed against numerous Gram positive pathogens.

Quantifying terrestrial carbon in freshwater food webs using amino acid isotope analysis: Case study with an endemic cavefish

Flow of terrestrial carbon though aquatic ecosystems (allochthony) is an important but underestimated component of the global carbon cycle. A lack of clear consensus about the importance of allochthonous (terrestrial) organic carbon is sometimes attributed to uncertainties associated with conventional ‘bulk’ isotope data, the most widely used ecological tracer. Amino acid‐specific isotope analysis is an emerging research method promising to address existing limitations of bulk C and N isotope analyses. We tested the efficacy of amino acid δ13C data as a generalizable measure of allochthony by analysing an aggregated dataset (n = 168) of primary and secondary data of carbon sources from disparate geographical locations across the globe. We found the δ13C fingerprints amino acids to be consistently distinct between allochthonous (terrestrial) and autochthonous (aquatic) carbon sources. We also found that our approach is most effective when we use only essential amino acid tracers (i.e. isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine, threonine and valine). Predictive trends in δ13C fingerprints appear to be largely compatible across studies and/or laboratories. As a case study, we used this approach to quantify the contribution of terrestrial carbon to an endemic cavefish, Cryptotora thamicola, and found that its biomass was comprised largely of autochthonous carbon (~75%).
Biomimicry as an Innovation in Modern Architecture Design

Biomimicry is a design concept mimicking the nature, as an established sustainable system, as a mentor and a great source of inspiration through observing its models, systems, and processes, could help in reaching sustainable development, not only in environmental stewardship, but also in economical and social aspects as well. As a method for sustainability biomimicry constitutes the ability to help achieve sustainable development. Biomimicry can be defined as imitating or getting inspiration from the nature‟s structures and processes to find solution for human‟s problems. It is a new concept in architecture. Biomimicry can be considered as a multilevel method and a methodology of design which had underlying basics about learning from the nature and getting inspiration from it. Problem of this research is that the implications of Biomimicry method in architecture design had not been fully explored. This paper aims to incorporate this method into the idea of generation phase of the architecture design and development process within the context of design. The purpose of this paper is to introduce and create interest by the designers in the ideology of biomimicry that refers to sustainability by looking to the nature for answers because such a method brings into view a method for design taking into consideration the possibility of creating buildings inspired by the nature.
On the prevalance of selected serotypes of enterobacteriaceae pathogens isolated from polluted ecosystem

Salmonella is a genus of rod shaped (bacillus) Gram negative bacteria of the family Enterobacteriaceae. Salmonella species are non-spore-forming, predominantly motile with cell diameters between 0.7 and 1.5 μm, lengths from 2 to 5 μm, and peritrichous fl agella (all around the cell body). They are chemotrophs, obtaining their energy from oxidation and reduction reactions using organic sources. They are also facultative aerobes, capable of generating ATP with oxygen (“aerobically”) when it is available, or when oxygen is not available, using other electron acceptors or fermentation (“anaerobically”). Salmonella species are intracellular pathogens; certain serotypes cause illness. Non-typhoidal serotypes can be transferred from animal-to-human and from human-to-human. They usually invade only the gastrointestinal tract and cause Salmonellosis, the symptoms of which can be resolved without antibiotics. Typhoidal serotypes can only be transferred from human-to-human, and can cause food-borne infection, typhoid fever, and paratyphoid fever. Typhoid fever is caused by Salmonella invading the bloodstream (the typhoidal form), or in addition spreads throughout the body, invades organs, and secretes endotoxins (the septic form). This can lead to life-threatening hypovolemic shock and septic shock, and requires intensive care including antibiotics. The present study is aimed at studying the Serotype of this Enterobacteriaceae pathogen isolated from sewage and drinking water environments.
MemSTATS: A Benchmark Set of Membrane Protein Symmetries and Pseudo-Symmetries

In membrane proteins, symmetry and pseudo-symmetry often have functional or evolutionary implications. However, available symmetry detection methods have not been tested systematically on this class of proteins due to the lack of an appropriate benchmark set. Here we present MemSTATS, a publicly-available benchmark set of both quaternary and internal symmetries in membrane protein structures described in terms of order, repeated elements, and orientation of the axis with respect to the membrane plane. Moreover, using MemSTATS, we compare the performance of four widely-used symmetry detection algorithms and highlight specific challenges and areas for improvement in the future.
Effect of supplemental potassium application on growth and yield of potato cultivars

A trail was carried out to evaluate the effect of supplemental potassium application on growth and yield of potato cultivars at Horticulture Farm, The University of Agriculture Peshawar during winter season, 2014. The experiment was laid out on Randomized Complete Block Design, with split plot arrangement, using three replications. Potassium was kept in main plot while potato cultivars were kept in subplot. Four levels of supplemental potassium (0, 50, 75, 100 kg ha) were allotted to main plots, whereas sub plot factor consisted of potato cultivars (Rocko, Kuroda and Asterix). The supplemental potassium levels significantly influenced the growth and yield of potato cultivars. The maximum values for growth variables; plant height (45.82 cm) and survival percentage (89.56 %) and yield variables; number of small tubers plant (4.56), number of medium tubers plant (4.11), number of large tubers plant (4.56), tuber weight plant (463.67), yield (21.65 tons ha) were found in plot treated with supplemental potassium applied @ 75 kg ha. Among cultivars, the maximum values for growth variables; plant height (45.33 cm) and survival percentage (85.30 %) and yield variables; number of small tubers plant (3.92), number of medium tubers plant (3.33), number of large tubers plant (3.83), tuber weight plant (451.17), yield (21.15 tons ha) were found in cultivar Kuroda. Interaction between supplemental potassium levels and potato cultivars was found non-significant. Supplemental potassium should be applied @ of 75 kg ha to potato crop. Among tested cultivars, the cultivar Kuroda showed better growth and yield under the agro-climatic region of Peshawar.
Multiplexed Twin PLLs for Wide-Band FMCW Chirp Generation in 130-nm BiCMOS

We present a pair of fractional-N phase-locked loops (PLLs) followed by a multiplexer (MUX) integrated in one chip. The PLL outputs are multiplexed during chirp generation to increase the frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) signal bandwidth to 5GHz around a 31-GHz center frequency. The phase noise measured at the MUX output is −108dBc/Hz at 1-MHz offset from a 31.07-GHz carrier. The chip occupies an area of 1.8<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\times $ </tex-math></inline-formula>2.1mm<sup>2</sup>. The two PLLs together [excluding the voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs)] draw 90mA from a 3.3-V supply, while the two VCOs, the MUX, and the output buffers draw 118mA from 2.7V. This array of PLLs offers a solution to improve resolution and precision of FMCW radar systems.
Formulation of Tablets Containing Extracts of Soursop Leaves, Mangosteen Rind, Ling Zhi Mushroom and Its Antioxidant and Immunomodulator Activity Tests

Investigation on formulation of film coated tablets containing combination of three active substances, i.e. extracts of soursop leaf, mangosteen rind and Ling Zhi mushroom has been carried out, which was expected to have high antioxidant and immunomodulator activities. The research consists of formulation of film coated tablets F1 containing extracts of soursop leaf-mangosteen rind-Ling Zhi mushroom (100:100:125 mg) and F2 (125:75:125 mg) in each 840 mg tablet. Full examination showed that film coated tablet F1 and F2 comply with the 4th Indonesian Pharmacopoeia, except for the dissolution test. Determination of antioxidant activity with DPPH method showed IC50 of F1 tablet was 215.93 μg/mL, IC50 of F2 tablet was 363.86 μg/mL, whereas IC50 of soursop leaf extract 602.64 μg/mL, IC50 of mangosteen rind extract 111.80 μg/mL and IC50 of Ling Zhi mushroom extract 2199.50 μg/mL. Determination of immunomodulatory activity by in vivo carbon clearance method showed a moderate phagocytic index of 1.385 for F1 tablet, 1.469 for F2 tablet, and <1 for Echinacea extract as positive control. Stability test performed based on the α-mangostin content showed that the shelf-life of F1 tablet was 1.865 years, and F2 tablet was 1.842 years. The result showed that film coated tablet F1 and F2 have both synergistic antioxidant and immunomodulatory activities as compared to their respective single extract. The result showed that the antioxidant activity and stability of film coated F1 tablet is better than F2 tablet, but the imunomodulatory activity of F2 tablet is better than F1 tablet.
HISTOPATHOLOGICAL LESIONS IN TRANSRECTAL ULTRASOUND GUIDED BIOPSIES OF PROSTATE IN PATIENTS WITH RAISED SERUM PROSTATE SPECIFIC ANTIGEN: A PRELIMINARY REPORT

Background: Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided needle biopsies of prostate are considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of the prostatic cancer. Currently, there is no information on the spectrum of pathological lesions in TRUS biopsies of prostate in men from Pakistan. Objectives: To determine the spectrum of pathological lesions in TRUS-guided needle biopsies of prostate in men with increased serum prostatic specific antigen (PSA) levels with or without symptoms of prostatism. Patients and methods: A prospective study carried out at the Department of Histopathology, Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT), Karachi from September 2001 to June 2002. Fifty four men underwent TRUS-guided prostate biopsies for suspected prostate cancer. Raised serum PSA levels were arbitrarily divided into mild (≥ 4 to 20 ng/ml), moderate (≥ 20.1 to 50 ng/ml) and marked elevations (≥ 50.1 to highest). In most cases, eight cores were taken per case. Each core was individually labeled and submitted for histopathological study. Results: The mean age of patients was 66.9 ± 9.4 years (range: 5 2-100 years). The mean serum PSA was 97.1±119.4 ng/ml (range: 4-449 ng/ml). Mean number of cores obtained per case was 7.8±0.9 (range: 4-9). Overall, 30 (55.6%) cases showed benign lesions and 24 (44.4%), malignant. Benign lesions consisted of adenomyomatous hyperplasia. Fourteen of benign cases (46.6%) showed significant inflammatory changes. Among malignant lesions, all cancers were of moderate to high Gleason grades and scores. Mild serum PSA rise was seen in 26 (48.1%) patients; among these, 19 (73%) cases showed benign lesions and 7 (26.9%), malignant. Moderate serum PSA rise was seen in 14 (25.9%) cases; among these 9 (64.3%) were benign and 5 (35.7%) malignant. Fourteen (25.9%) patients had serum PSA ≥ 50.1 ng/ml. Among these, 12 (85.7%) had adenocarcinoma, 2 (14.3%) hyperplasia, one of the later with active prostatitis. Conclusions: In conclusion, this is first study from Pakistan on the spectrum of pathological lesions in prostate TRUS-guided biopsies in men with suspected prostate cancer. The detection rate of prostate cancer is similar to that reported previously from around the world and rises with an increase in serum PSA level.

Biogeography of plant root‐associated fungal communities in the North Atlantic region mirrors climatic variability

Polar and alpine ecosystems appear to be particularly sensitive to increasing temperatures and the altered precipitation patterns linked to climate change. However, little is currently known about how these environmental drivers may affect edaphic organisms within these ecosystems. In this study, we examined communities of plant root‐associated fungi (RAF) over large biogeographical scales and along climatic gradients in the North Atlantic region in order to gain insights into the potential effects of climate variability on these communities. We also investigated whether selected fungal traits were associated with particular climates.
Numerical and experimental characterisation of an aeronautic Pitot probe

Abstract Aeronautic Pitot probes (PPs) are extremely important for airspeed and altitude measurements in aviation. Failure of the instrument due to clogging caused by ice formation can lead to dangerous situations. In this work, a commercial aeronautic PP was characterised experimentally regarding its inner composition, material properties and its thermal performance in a climatic wind tunnel. Performance runs were taken out in order to analyse the thermal response of the PP under various operating conditions with a particular emphasis on the cooling process in the case of a heating element failure. Data for the thermal conductivity, diffusivity and specific heat for each material forming the PP were obtained. A numerical model to simulate the thermal behaviour of the PP was created using Comsol Multiphysics (CM). Experimental data were compared with their numerical counterparts for model validation purposes. After the model was validated, the operation of the PP in flight conditions was simulated. The failure of the conventional heating system was analysed to obtain the time until the PP reaches a tip temperature where ice formation can be expected. The tip temperature undercut the zero degrees Celsius mark 165 seconds after the heating element was switched off. The data collected in this work can be used to implement and validate mathematical models in order to predict the thermal performance of Pitot probes in flight conditions.
Interaction between Body Mass Index and Quitting Smoking

In this study we use cohort analysis to show that quitting smoking has a positive and significant effect on BMI 1 . In order to identify the causal effect we instrument the decision to quit smoking and we control for unobserved heterogeneity. The estimated short run elasticity of quitting smoking to BMI is significant and between 5% and 1%, depending on the specification. Although the effect decreases in the long run the evidence shows that an important part of the effect remains even after one year. This result is similar to that reported in Eisemberg and Quinn (2006) and in line with the findings of Chou et al. (2004) and Baum (2008) and points out the importance of correlations among habits for improving health policy results.
Potential of Water Jasmine (Echinodorus palaefolius) In Phytoremediation of Fe in Leachate Jatibarang Landfill

Water Jasmine [Echinodorus palaefolius (Ness & Mart.) J.F. Macbr. ] is an aesthetic plant, that can purify wastewater containing high metals through phytoremediation. By using constructed wetlands system E.palaefolius was used to accumulate Fe (Iron) in leachate. Leachate comes from garbage that was piled up and decomposeds. The purpose of this research was to examine the ability of E. palaefolius plants to accumulate Fe in leachate. This study, used a completely randomized experimental design (CRD). The treatment variation were contact time of plants with leachate consisting of 0,7,14, and 21 day after planting. The results showed that Fe accumulated at the root was 10.86 mg/kg with the highest absorption rate occurring at 7 DAP with 1.56 mg/kg/day and BCF of 49.5 ppm. Fe accumulation on the stem was 571 mg/kg, the highest absorption rate at 14 DAP 63.71 mg/kg/day and BCF 3144.54 ppm. The accumulation of Fe in leaves was 696 mg/kg, the highest absorption rate was at 7 DAP with 104 mg/kg/day and BCF value of 3279.28 ppm. The results shows that the duration of contact affects the ability of E. palaefolius in accumulating Fe and improving the quality of leachate.
Drug-eluting contact lens containing cyclosporine-loaded cholesterol-hyaluronate micelles for dry eye syndrome

A contact lens is an attractive tool for the delivery of ophthalmic drugs, but it has several issues such as the burst release of drugs and the limited drug loading capacity. To overcome these limitations, we developed a cholesterol-hyaluronate (C-HA) micelle-embedded contact lens for efficient hydrophobic drug loading and long-term controlled drug delivery. The contact lens was fabricated via photopolymerization of hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) using ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as a cross-linker. The C-HA micelle-loaded contact lens showed statistically significant improvement in wettability and mechanical strength, maintaining the optical transmittance. In vitro drug release tests revealed the controlled delivery of cyclosporine for more than 12 days. Furthermore, the Schirmer tear test, corneal fluorescein staining, and MMP9 fluorescein analysis confirmed its therapeutic effect on dry eye syndrome in disease model rabbits.
Ein evolutionärer Ansatz für aufgabenspezifische MobileNet-Topologien

Zusammenfassung Infolge sinkender Hardwarepreise und der zunehmenden Automatisierung wird maschinelles Lernen für industrielle Anwendungen wie klassische Sichtprüfungsaufgaben immer interessanter. In diesem Artikel wird ein metaheuristischer Ansatz für die Suche nach einer allgemeinen MobileNet-Topologie nach Howard et al. [7] vorgestellt, der auf differentieller Evolution beruht. Dieser ist in der Lage, anhand eines gegebenen Datensatzes und ohne zusätzliches Vorwissen einen geeigneten Klassifikator zu entwerfen. Gleichzeitig wird durch die Wahl einer geeigneten Fitnessfunktion der Ressourcenbedarf der Inferenz begrenzt. Für typische industrielle Datensätze können neuronale Netze mit Genauigkeiten von über 99 %99\hspace{0.1667em}\% gefunden werden, während die Rechendauer dafür relativ kurz bleibt.
