Effect of Supplementation Dry Yeast or Bentonite and their Combination as Feed Additives on Productive Performance of Lactating Buffalos.

The objective of this experiment was to investigate the influence of addition active dry yeast, bentonite or their mixture to lactating buffalos' rations on digestibility, milk yield, milk constituents, some blood metabolites, feed efficiency and economic efficiency. Eight lactating buffalos were used in double 4×4 Latin square design where their live body weight was (612.5±41.19 kg on average) and previous milk yield recorded (8.92±0.47 kg/day on average). Animals were fed individually according to Kearl requirements (1982) requirements, as follows: 40% of their energy requirement as total digestible nutrients (TDN) was covered from concentrate feed mixture (CFM), while the other 60% of energy requirement was covered from Egyptian berseem (Br), with an extra amount of rice straw (RS) was offered at 0.5% of animal's body weight T1 (control ration), while the tested rations were included the control ration plus 10 g/h/d yeast (T2) or 20g bentonite /kg DM intake (T3) or the combination of the two additives (T4). Results showed that positive significant effects respecting most nutrient digestibilities for all supplemented rations based on those control ration, being the better values were mostly occurred with T4. The feeding values as TDN was significantly (p<0.05) increased with supplemented rations compared with that of control one. Similar trend between experimental rations regarding DCP values were observed with the best value was also associated with (T4). The average daily actual milk yield (AMY) was significantly higher (p<0.05) when animals fed the supplemented rations (T2, T3 and T4) in comparison with those fed the free from additives ration (T1). The fat corrected milk (7% FCM) was behaved the same trend of (AMY), but there were no significant differences among the experimental rations. There were no significant differences between the experimental diets regarding milk composition. The total dry matter intake and TDN intake showed no significant differences among the experimental rations, while, the values of DCP intake was significantly (P< 0.05) better when animals fed T4 ration than those fed the control one. There were no significant differences among experimental rations regarding the measured blood metabolites. The best economic efficiency was occurred with T3 and T4 rations. Generally, from the obtained results, it could be concluded that supplementation of dry yeast or bentonite or both of them to rations of lactating buffaloes had, favorability significant effects on digestibility, feeding value, milk production and composition and economic efficiency.

Interannual variations of water vapor in the tropical upper troposphere and the lower and middle stratosphere and their connections to ENSO and QBO

Abstract. In this study, we analyze the Aura Microwave Limb Sounder water vapor data in the tropical upper troposphere and the lower and middle stratosphere (UTLMS) (from 215 to 6 hPa) for the period from August 2004 to September 2017 using time-lag regression analysis and composite analysis to explore the interannual variations of tropical UTLMS water vapor and their connections to El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO). Our analysis shows that the interannual tropical UTLMS water vapor anomalies are strongly related to ENSO and QBO which together can explain more than half (∼ 50 %–60 %) but not all variance of the interannual tropical water vapor anomalies. We find that ENSO's impact is strong in the upper troposphere (∼ 215–∼ 120 hPa) and near the tropopause (∼ 110–∼ 90 hPa), with a ∼ 3-month lag but weak in the lower and middle stratosphere (∼ 80 to ∼ 6 hPa). In contrast, QBO's role is large in the lower and middle stratosphere, with an upward-propagating signal starting at the tropopause (100 hPa) with a ∼ 2-month lag, peaking in the middle stratosphere near 15 hPa with a ∼ 21-month lag. The phase lag is based on the 50 hPa QBO index used by many previous studies. This observational evidence supports that the QBO's impact on the tropical stratospheric water vapor is from its modulation on the tropical tropopause temperature and then transported upward with the tape recorder as suggested by many previous studies. In the upper troposphere, ENSO is more important than QBO for the interannual tropical water vapor anomalies that are positive during the warm ENSO phases but negative during the cold ENSO phases. Near the tropopause, both ENSO and QBO are important for the interannual tropical water vapor anomalies. Warm ENSO phase and westerly QBO phase tend to cause positive water vapor anomalies, while cold ENSO phase and easterly QBO phase tend to cause negative water vapor anomalies. As a result, the interannual tropical water vapor anomalies near the tropopause are different depending on different ENSO and QBO phase combinations. In the lower and middle stratosphere, QBO is more important than ENSO for the interannual tropical water vapor anomalies. For the westerly QBO phases, interannual tropical water vapor anomalies are positive near the tropopause and in the lower stratosphere but negative in the middle stratosphere and positive again above. Vice versa for the easterly QBO phases.
Phenolic profiles and antioxidant capacities of mulberry (Morus atropurpurea Roxb.) juices from different cultivars

ABSTRACT Two hundred and seventy six mulberry juice samples were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography with diode-array detection quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry to identify the major polyphenols in the representative mulberry fruit cultivar Da10. Using FRAP, ABTS, and DPPH assays, total phenolic contents and antioxidant capacities of 276 mulberry juice samples from four provinces in China were found to be within the following ranges: 412.55–1471.86 mg/L gallic acid equivalent, 37.90–361.75 mmol/mL ferrous sulfate equivalent, 46.12–342.13 mmol/mL Trolox equivalent, and 7.30–216.41 mmol/mL ascorbic acid equivalent. Cluster analysis separated the cultivars into two groups. One group consisted of samples from Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan Provinces, which had high phenolic contents and antioxidant capacities. The other group consisted of samples from Xinjiang Province, which had low phenolic contents and antioxidant capacities. Antioxidant activity and phenolic content were correlated. Flavonoids were the main polyphenols of “Da10”. In addition to free phenolic compounds, various bound phenolic compounds were identified. This work provides a large dataset characterizing different mulberry cultivars for deeper research. “45–7”, “qianshan3” and “guoxuan04-129” were superior cultivars based on their high phenolic contents and antioxidant capacities. The results of this study support further research into mulberry use in human food and healthcare industries.

Peptides Fixing Industrial Textile Dyes: A New Biochemical Method in Wastewater Treatment

The aim of the present work was the development of a new biological method for the treatment of textile industry effluents, which is cheaper, more profitable, and eco-friendly. This method is essentially based on the synthesis of dye-fixing peptides. The use of peptides synthesized via a solid-phase synthesis to fix a reference textile dye like “Cibacron blue” (CB) and the performance analysis of binding assays were the main objectives of this study. For this reason, two peptides P1 (NH2-C-G-G-W-R-S-Q-N-Q-G-NH2) and P2 (NH2-C-G-G-R-R-Y-Q-P-D-S-NH2) binding with the CB dye were synthesized by the solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) technique. The obtained results showed significant fixation yields of CB-peptides of 91.5% and 45.9%, respectively, and consequently, their interesting potential as a tool for a new biochemical method in the pollution prevention of textile wastewater.
Monte Carlo Methods for SLAM with Data Association Uncertainty

We work towards solving the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) problem using a Probabilistic Programming System (PPS). After surveying existing SLAM methods, we choose FastSLAM as the most promising candidate. FastSLAM uses ad-hoc methods for data association, and does not enforce mutual exclusion between observations arriving at the same timestep. This leads to poor accuracy on an example dataset. We propose a new probabilistic model for SLAM that handles association uncertainty and mutual exclusion. We then propose an algorithm for doing inference in this model: FastSLAMDA (FastSLAM with Data Association), which uses a particle filter with a custom data-driven proposal. We show that FastSLAM-DA performs well on the example where FastSLAM previously failed. However, the new algorithm produces inaccurate maps when there is a high rate of false detections. To remedy this, we propose FastSLAM-DA-RM (FastSLAM with Data Association and Resample-Move), which adds MCMC moves on the recent association variables. We show that FastSLAM-DA-RM performs well where FastSLAM-DA previously failed. Our two new algorithms use no heuristics other than custom proposals, so they are suitable for implementation in a PPS. As a step in this direction, we implement a general-purpose resample-move particle filter in the BLOG PPS, and demonstrate it on a simplified SLAM problem.

Hydroalcoholic Extract of Iranian Caper Leaves Protects Hepatic Toxicity by Suppressing Oxidative Stress in Mice

Capparis spinosa L. (caper) is an aromatic plant, commonly used in the Mediterranean diet, possessing numerous antioxidant compounds, such as phenols, rutin, tocopherols, carotenoids, and vitamin C in its leaves. Thus, the present study investigated the effects of Iranian caper leaves extract on oxidative stress caused by CCl4 in the mice’s liver. This study was conducted on 42 male mice in seven groups. The control group, the sham group, the CCl4 group, the Iranian caper leaves extract 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg + CCl4 groups. Then, Biochemicals, oxidative stress, and hepatic histopathology parameters were evaluated. The co-administration of Iranian caper leaves extract, and CCl4 significantly decreased the levels of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and reactive oxygen species, malondialdehyde (P<0.001) and significantly increased the levels of glutathione and catalase in comparison with the group treated with CCl4 alone (P<0.01). Furthermore, Iranian caper leaves extract improved histopathological changes such as the the inflammation and necrosis of hepatocytes. Iranian caper leaves extract has protective effects on hepatotoxicity induced by CCl4, mainly through suppressing oxidative stress.
Yield responses of rocket plants fertilized with different nitrogenous fertilizer doses and forms, and nitrate-nitrite accumulations before and after storage.

In this experiment conducted in the district of Hatay Samandag, 5 nitrogen doses (D0:0 kg N da , D1:10 kg N da, D2:20 kg N da, D3:30 kg N da and D4:40 kg N da) and 5 different nitrogenous forms which were consisting of different ratios of ammonium sulphate and ammonium nitrate fertilizers (F1:100% ammonium sulphate, F2:25% ammonium nitrate + 75% ammonium sulphate, F3:50% ammonium nitrate + 50% ammonium sulphate, F4:75% ammonium nitrate + 25% ammonium sulphate and F5:100% ammonium nitrate) were applied to rocket plants with 3 replications. Yield, leaf number, biomass, dry matter values of plant at harvest and nitrate-nitrite accumulations at harvest and after a week storage in fridge condition were determined. Nitrogen applications increased yields, the number of leaves and plant biomass of rocket plant. The effects of applications on nitrate-nitrite accumulations in plant were found insignificant, statistically. Too high nitrate (between 1151.0-3603.0 mg kg) and nitrite (between 15.2-974.8 mg kg) contents were determined depending on the increase nitrogenous doses. Although nitrate contents were decreased, some nitrite values were increased in plants after the storage period in this experiment. Therefore, it is recommended that the rocket plants should be eaten just after harvest and not stored long time.
Response of exfoliated human buccal epithelium cells to combined gamma radiation, microwaves, and magnetic field exposure estimated by changes in chromatin condensation and cell membrane permeability

Modulation of the biological effects produced by ionizing radiation (IR) using microwave and magnetic fields has important theoretical and practical applications. Response of human buccal epithelium cells to different physical agents (single and combined exposure to 0.5–5 Gy γ-radiation (60Co); microwaves with the frequency of 36.64 GHz and power densities of 0.1 and 1 W/m2, and static magnetic field with the intensity of 25 mT) has been investigated. The stress response of the cells was evaluated by counting heterochromatin granules quantity (HGQ) in the cell nuclei stained with orcein. Membrane permeability was assessed by the percentage of cells stained with indigocarmine (cells with damaged membrane). The increase of heterochromatin granules quantity (HGQ), i.e. chromatin condensation was detected at the doses of 2 Gy and higher. Changes in the cell membrane permeability to indigocarmine expressed the threshold effect. Membrane permeability reached the threshold at the doses of 2–3 Gy for the cells of different donors and did not change with the increase of the dose of γ-radiation. Cells obtained from different donors revealed some individual peculiarities in their reaction to γ-radiation. The static magnetic field and microwaves applied before or after γ-radiation decreased its impact, as revealed by means of HGQ assessment.
Comparative analysis of 5-ALA-induced fluorescence intensity and 11C-Methionine PET uptake in glioma surgery

Background: 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) induces red fluorescence in malignant brain tumors that has been used for intraoperative guidance for tumor removal. Positron emission tomography with 11C-Methionine (Met-PET) is a promising imaging modality to depict clear boundary of infiltrating glioma. We studied the correlation between preoperative Met-PET uptake and intraoperative 5-ALA fluorescence. Method: Patients who underwent preoperative Met-PET study and tumor removal using 5-ALA over a period of two years were analyzed. The regional uptake of Met-PET was expressed as the ratio of the maximum of standardized uptake value (SUV-max) to the contralateral normal brain. 5-ALA fluorescence from tumor sample was immediately measured during surgery using blue laser and spectrometer. Fluorescence intensity was categorized into four groups (None, Weak, Moderate, Strong) with ten-hold differences. Results: 16 cases with pathological diagnosis of astrocytic tumors were analyzed. Met-PET uptake was markedly high in “Strong” fluorescence group (3.81±0.77). Particularly, among 11 newly-diagnosed cases, the difference was statistically significant (p=0.017, Kruskal-Wallis test). "Strong" fluorescence group still showed significant difference when compared with other groups together, in all cases and newly-diagnosed cases (p=0.01 and p=0.004, respectively, Mann- Whitney U test). Discussion/Conclusion: There are limited number of reports regarding 5-ALA and Met-PET, stating that Met-PET and 5- ALA fluorescence should be considered separately. However, the fluorescence was grossly distinguished whether positive or negative. Our study utilized objective spectroscopic measurement of fluorescence intensity. The results suggested that strong fluorescence intensity induced by 5-ALA reflects high Met-PET uptake. This could indicate the importance of bright fluorescence by 5-ALA in glioma surgery.

Effects of Silicon and Yeast Extract on Growth, Flowering and Yield of Banana (Musa cavendishii L.)

Field experiments were carried out during the two growing seasons of 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 on 1 and 2 ratoons of Williams banana plants irrigated with saline water and received potassium silicate and/or yeast extract. Growth, flowering as well as yield and fruit quality were evaluated. The data indicated that both materials were very effective in increasing salt tolerance, all growth parameters studied, earliness flowering and maturity, bunch weight and improving fruit quality compared with the control. Yeast extract showed additive effects to the potassium silicate in this respect. Thus, it could be recommended that supplementations of K2SiO3 to the saline irrigation water accompanied with spraying yeast extract four times, 4 weeks intervals, from the middle of April induced salt tolerance and productivity of Williams banana plants, irrigated with pumped saline water. Potassium silicate at 3% combined with yeast at 20 g/l gave the best results with regard growth, flowering as well as yield and fruit quality.

Modification of collagen-chitosan membrane by oxidation sodium alginate and in vivo/ in vitro evaluation for wound dressing application

Abstract Collagen-chitosan (COL-CS) membranes materials without a cross-linking agent have poor mechanical properties. In this paper, COL-CS membranes were modified by a novel naturally-derived crosslinker, alginate dialdehyde (ADA) with different oxidation degree, and the COL-CS-ADA films were obtained. COL-CS-ADA films were characterized by Fourier transform attenuation total reflection infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), differential calorimetric scanning (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), tensile testing, and cross-link density testing. The modification of ADA exhibited positive effects on mechanical properties, the thermal stability of COL-CS membranes. The cross-linking degree between ADA and COL-CS membranes increased significantly with an increase in the oxidation degree. COL-CS-ADA films showed no cytotoxicity toward L929 fibroblasts and had good biocompatibility. The animal experiments showed that COL-CS-ADA film could promote wound healing.
