Optimal Conditions for Bromelain Extraction from Pineapple Fruit (Ananas comosus)

Bromelain is a cysteine protease which is found in the tissues of Bromeliacea plant family of which pineapple Ananas cosmossus is best known. The investigated parameters for optimal Bromelain extraction are optimum buffers, pH, Molarity, time, and amounts of husk free pineapple fruit to volume (ml) of buffer ratio. Sodium phosphate was best buffer for bromelain extraction from pineapple fruit because its showed high activity, with casein as a substrate. Subsequent experiments, using sodium phosphate as an optimal buffer for extraction and casein as a substrate, reviled that the optimal bromelain extraction conditions were achieved at pH 7.0, 0.1 M of sodium phosphate, 2.5 min of extraction time, 1:0.5 (gm of pineapple fruit/ v of sodium phosphate buffer) extraction percentage, and 30 min of incubation time. Additionally, Bromelain extracted from pineapple fruit showed a maximum enzyme activity at pH 7and at 30 min of incubation with casein as substrate.
High Glucose-Induced Upregulation of Osteopontin Is Mediated via Rho/Rho Kinase Pathway in Cultured Rat Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells

Objective— Osteopontin is upregulated in the diabetic vascular wall and in vascular smooth muscle cells cultured under high glucose concentration. In the present study, we analyzed the mechanism of high glucose-induced upregulation of osteopontin in cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells. Methods and Results— We found that an inhibitor of Rho-associated protein kinase, Y-27632, suppressed osteopontin mRNA expression under high glucose concentration. Transfection of cells with a constitutive active Rho mutant, pSRα-myc-RhoDA, enhanced osteopontin mRNA expression. Furthermore, incubation of cells under high glucose concentration activated Rho, indicating that Rho/Rho kinase pathway mediates high-glucose–stimulated osteopontin expression. Treatment of cells with an inhibitor of protein kinase C, GF109203X, and azaserine, an inhibitor of the hexosamine pathway, suppressed high glucose-induced Rho activation. Glucosamine treatment was shown to activate Rho. Treatment of cells with an inhibitor of MEK1, PD9805.

The Effect of the Board of Directors and Audit Quality on Disclosure of Internal Control Practices: Evidence from European Companies

The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of the board of directors, namely board size, board independence, and CEO duality, as well as audit quality on the disclosure of internal control information. The sample consists of 164 European companies listed in the STOXX Europe 600. Based on positive agency theory, the authors posit that board of directors and audit quality influence corporate internal control disclosure practice. The content analysis and the design of the evaluation criterion were used to calculate the disclosure index of internal control. Thus, multiple regression analysis is utilized to analyze the results of this paper. The average internal control information disclosure index was 0.285, indicating that most of the companies in our sample do not disclose enough information about the internal control. This low level of forward-looking information disclosure makes it very difficult for corporate stakeholders to determine the future performance of the company. Multivariate results indicate that internal control disclosure is positively and significantly associated with board independence, CEO duality, and audit quality. This study contributes to the literature on the various governance characteristics and disclosure by showing that the disclosure of internal control information in European countries is positively and significantly associated with board independence, separation of duties, and audit quality. Our study was based on a sample of European companies including countries regulating IC disclosure as well as unregulated settings. As noted by Bedard and Graham (2014), regulatory differences in countries can contribute insights on the costs and benefits of disclosure. Findings also have policy implications for investors, managers, and regulators.
Special Collection: Pulse Crop Insect Pests and Their Management Strategies Progress Toward Integrated Pest Management of Pea Leaf Weevil: A Review

The pea leaf weevil, Sitona lineatus (L.; Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is a significant pest of field peas (Pisum sativum L.) and faba bean (Vicia faba L.) in most temperate regions. Considerable research progress has been made towards understanding its basic life cycle, including flight patterns, plant host interactions, and geographic distribution throughout its native and invasive ranges in Europe and North America, respectively. Management tactics investigated include chemical insecticides and tillage, but less work has been done on biological control, host plant resistance, intercropping and trap crops. Future research should focus on better integration of tactics that utilize an ecostacking approach to maximize diversity at various scales to mitigate risks from insect pests and subsequently reduce the need for chemical interventions.
Discovery Skills and Innovative Work Behavior�� A Study of the Indian IT Workforce#

This paper uses the existing literature to understand what is it that innovative individuals do differently, and what are the factors which lead to innovators behaving differently in the context of an Indian IT organization. The paper explores Innovator’s DNA Model proposed by Harvard and uses the same to draw relationship between the skills of an innovator and the work behavior showcased by them. To establish this relationship, the researchers administer a questionnaire consisting of 40 items ; (20) for Innovator’s DNA, (13) for Innovative Work Behavior, (7) for demography. The questionnaire was responded by 50 Innovators and 50 Non-Innovators of an Indian IT organization. The paper compares the factors contributing to Innovator’s DNA and Work Behavior in case of Innovators and Non Innovators and concludes that there is a relationship between the Discovery Skills of an Innovator and the Innovative Work Behavior showcased by them. The paper concludes by proposing a model created using SPSS AMOS that correlates Discovery Skills and Innovative Work Behavior by identifying 6 factors for innovator’s DNA and 4 factors for Innovative Work Behavior, in case of innovative individuals.
Effects of Dietary Mannan-Oligosaccharides and Phytase Supplementation Alone or in Combination on Growth Performance, Serum Metabolites, Cecal Microbiota Activity and Intestinal Morphology in Broiler Chickens

This study evaluated the effect of a combination of mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS) and microbial phytase (MP) on growth performance, some blood biochemical metabolites, intestinal morphology and cecal microbial population of ROSS 308 broiler chickens from d 0 to 35 of age. A total of 200 one-dayold broiler chickens (mixed sex) were randomly distributed into four treatments with five replicates and 10 birds per each. The dietary treatments included a basal diet, the basal diet supplemented with MOS (as 2 g/kg of diet), MP (as 100 g/t Phyzyme XP 5000), and the combination of MOS and MP (MOS+MP). Supplementation of MOS+MP improved feed conversion ratio and body weight gain of broilers compared with the control group (P < 0.05). Dietary treatments had no significant effect on carcass traits. In the intestinal morphometric indices, villus length was greater in the birds which received MP individually or in combination with MOS (P < 0.05). Supplementation of MP, MOS or MOS+MP increased serum concentration of calcium in the broilers compared with control treatment (P < 0.05). Broiler chickens fed diets containing MOS+MP had lower numbers of E. coli, but higher count of Lactobacilli rather than control group (P < 0.05). Based on these results, it is concluded that dietary supplementation of MP in combination with MOS improved growth performance and intestinal microbial ecosystem of broiler chickens.

Updated excitation and ionization cross sections for electron impact on atomic oxygen. Technical report, 1 October 1987-29 February 1988

Cross sections for the excitation and ionization of atomic oxygen by electron impact are presented as the result of a critical review of experimental and theoretical work on this subject. An effort was made to compile the most accurate and complete set of cross sections available. More than 60 profiles of excitation cross sections versus electron-impact energy are presented. These include transitions to the forbidden metastable O(1D) and O(1S) states, the allowed autoionizing O(2p5 3po) state, nine allowed Rydberg series, and twenty nine forbidden Rydberg series. Recommended ionization cross sections for transitions to the outer electron ionization states O+ (4so), O+(2do), and O+(2po), to the inner electron ionization state O+(4p), and to the O2+ state are also given. Many of these excitation and ionization cross sections are based on recently published laboratory measurements, and differ from previously accepted values by factors of approx. 2-3, and in a few cases by up to a factor of 10.
Assembly of Yeast Spindle Pole Body and its Components Revealed by Electron Cryo-Tomography

Spindle pole body (SPB) is the microtubule organizing center (MTOC) in yeast. It plays essential roles during many cellular processes, ranging from mitosis to karyogamy. Here, we used electron cryo-tomography (cryo-ET) and image processing to study SPB and its component purified from the budding yeast. The 3D images and models of SPB at various cell cycle stages were reconstructed by cryo-ET and were analyzed. The results reveal SPB as a cylindrical shaped structure composed of multiple layers. The central layers are arranged with a degree of crystalline order. By using subtomogram averaging methods, we studied the purified “sheet” from over-expressed Spc42p. Our analysis of the SPBs and its components provides new insights into the assembly of this organelle and its cellular function as an MTOC.
Exploration of Plant Biodiversity to Investigate Regulation of Photosynthesis in Natural Environment

Photosynthesis is regulated in response to dynamic environmental conditions to satisfy plant metabolic demand but also to avoid over-excitation of the electron transport chain generating harmful reactive oxygen species. Photosynthetic organisms evolved several mechanisms to modulate light harvesting and electron transport efficiency to respond to conditions changing at different timescales, going from fast sun flecks to slow seasonal variations. These regulatory mechanisms changed during evolution of photosynthetic organisms, also adapting to various ecological niches. The investigation of plant biodiversity is valuable to uncover conserved traits and plasticity of photosynthetic regulation. In this work a set of plants belonging to different genera of angiosperms, gymnosperms, ferns and lycophytes was investigated by monitoring their photosynthetic parameters in different seasons, looking for common trends and differences. In all plants analysed photosynthetic electron transport rate was found to be modulated by growth light intensity, ensuring a balance between available energy and photochemical capacity. Growth light also influenced the threshold where heat dissipation of excitation energy, also called Non-Photochemical Quenching (NPQ), was activated. On the contrary NPQ amplitude did not correlate with light intensity experienced by the plants but was a species-specific feature. NPQ zeaxanthin-dependent component, qZ, was found to be the most variable between different plants, modulating the intensity of the response but also the kinetic properties of its activation and relaxation. The slower NPQ component, qI, was instead found to be uncorrelated with photoinhibition eventually suffered by plants.
Novel Modified Bentonite-Montmorillonite and Activated Charcoal Complexes for Detoxification.

In 2008, more than forty thousand persons died as a result of various poisonings. Drugs, both legal and illegal are considered the main cause of the vast majority of poisoning deaths. Misuse or abuse of prescription as well as OTC drugs, including opioid analgesic pain relievers, is responsible for much of the acceleration in drug poisoning deaths. Activated charcoal is one of the common adsorbents used in the emergency room for the treatment of certain kinds of poisons. Sometimes, multiple doses of activated charcoal are needed to treat severe poisoning. In other case, the current used activated carbon is not sufficient to efficiently trap several drugs and poisons. Therefore, there is a pressing need to invent modified forms of activated carbon and other adsorbents such as bentonite- montmorillonite that have higher surface area and affinity to capture such pharmaceuticals and poisons. This editorial sheds light on the uses of activated charcoal and bentonite-montmorillonite and the potential uses of some of their novel micelles complexes to treat a drug overdose and poisoning.
Impact of Eliozu Port Harcourt Landfill Leachate on Some Reproductive Hormones in Female Wistar Rats

Pollution of water sources by leachate and the toxicity that ensues have been reported globally. However, there is still need to evaluate its effects on reproductive hormones; considering the influence of environment on reproduction and the increasing number of infertility cases in the society. In this study therefore, the effect of landfill leachate at Eliozu in Port Harcourt Nigeria on some female reproductive hormones were evaluated using Wistar rats as experimental model. Twenty-five rats were grouped divided into five groups with five rats each. Group 1 served as control and received 1 ml of commercially bottled water, group 2 received 1ml of water from borehole about 1 km from the landfill; while groups 3, 4 and 5 received 1ml of 10%, 50% and 100% concentrations of leachate once daily for 30 consecutive days. All administrations were through oral gavage and animals were handled in line with guidelines for experimental animal care and handling. At the end Original Research Article Kinikanwo et al.; IJRRGY, 3(1): 20-24, 2020; Article no.IJRRGY. 56520 21 of 30-days administrations, the animals were anaesthetized and about 4 ml of blood was collected through cardiac puncture; serum obtained was used to determine the serum concentrations of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), prolactin, progesterone and estrogen. Results showed that leachate exposure at various concentrations caused a significant decrease in FSH, LH and prolactin p≤0.05; and a significant increase in progesterone and estrogen compared with the control group p≤0.05. This study therefore concludes that leachate could alter female reproductive hormones.
Ethers will play key role in clean gasoline blends

The author discusses how there is enough information to speculate what the final gasoline specification may be. Within the guidelines developed in this article, low-emission gasoline will have lower volatility, lower aromatics, and lower concentrations of volatile olefins than today's gasolines. It will also contain some oxygen. Gasoline specifications to reduce ozone-related emissions are presented.
Measuring the Occupational Impact of AI: Tasks, Cognitive Abilities and AI Benchmarks

In this paper we develop a framework for analysing the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on occupations. This framework maps 59 generic tasks from worker surveys and an occupational database to 14 cognitive abilities (that we extract from the cognitive science literature) and these to a comprehensive list of 328 AI benchmarks used to evaluate research intensity across a broad range of different AI areas. The use of cognitive abilities as an intermediate layer, instead of mapping work tasks to AI benchmarks directly, allows for an identification of potential AI exposure for tasks for which AI applications have not been explicitly created. An application of our framework to occupational databases gives insights into the abilities through which AI is most likely to affect jobs and allows for a ranking of occupations with respect to AI exposure. Moreover, we show that some jobs that were not known to be affected by previous waves of automation may now be subject to higher AI exposure. Finally, we find that some of the abilities where AI research is currently very intense are linked to tasks with comparatively limited labour input in the labour markets of advanced economies (e.g., visual and auditory processing using deep learning, and sensorimotor interaction through (deep) reinforcement learning). This article appears in the special track on AI and Society.
Choice between phylogram and chronogram can have a dramatic impact on the location of phylogenetic diversity hotspots

Biodiversity is declining rapidly at a global scale, fuelling the need for urgent conservation action. With limited resources available, areas for conservation often need to be prioritized. Phylo‐diversity metrics such as phylogenetic diversity (PD) and phylogenetic endemism (PE) combine phylogenies and spatial distribution data and can be used to rank candidate areas for conservation. Phylogenetic trees underlying phylo‐diversity metrics are available in two main forms, phylograms and chronograms. We examined the use of these two types of phylogenies in spatial studies and tested whether there is a difference in the resultant hotspot localities when employing either for analysing the same dataset.
