Sugar Accumulation Enhanced by Osmoregulation in Satsuma Mandarin Fruit

The effect of water stress induced to enhance sugar accumulation in Satsuma mandarin ( Citrus unshiu Marc.) fruit was investigated. Satsuma mandarin trees were subjected to water stress using mulch cultivation from late August to early December. In mulch treatment, soil was covered with double-layered plastic sheets that prevented rainfall from permeating the soil, but allowed water from soil to evaporate. The water status of soil, fine roots, pericarps, and juice vesicles was determined using the isopiestic psychrometer. As the severity of water stress increased, both water potential and osmotic potential of fine roots and pericarps significantly decreased in plants grown under mulch cultivation compared to well-watered trees. Although water potential and osmotic potential decreased, turgor of both roots and pericarps of the water stressed trees did not decrease under water stress conditions. Because turgor was maintained, osmoregulation occurred in Satsuma mandarin trees in response to water stress. The osmotic potential of juice vesicles in water-stressed fruit gradually decreased, and sugars accumulated in vesicle cells. Concentrations of sucrose, fructose, and glucose increased in fruit sap under water stress, and the acidity in the fruit juice increased. Furthermore, the total sugar content per fruit of water stressed trees was significantly higher than in fruit of well-watered trees. These results suggest that sugar accumulation in Satsuma mandarin fruit was not caused by dehydration under water stress but rather that sugars were accumulated by active osmoregulation in response to water stress. When sugar components in osmoregulated fruit were analyzed, it was found that monosaccharides, i.e., glucose and fructose, were largely responsible for active osmoregulation in fruit under water stress conditions.

PLASMA XANTHINE OXIDASE AND METABOLIC INDICATORS ASSOCIATION IN HEALTHY WOMEN RELATED TO AGE

Keyword: aging, plasma xanthine oxidase, metabolism, correlations Abstract: Xanthine oxidase (XO) may generates appreciable amounts of reactive oxygen species, such as superoxide radical and hydrogen peroxide, in different pathological conditions, and also in aging. In such circumstances, XO may be released into the bloodstream, and even, to adhere to the external surface of the endothelial cells. The aim of the study is to evaluate plasma XO activity and its correlations with some metabolic indicators in apparently healthy women as a function of age. Subjects without major diseases, were included in three groups of ages: adults (30-45 years old), presenescents (50-64 years old) and senescents (65-80 years old). Plasma XO activity was significantly increased (p < 0,001) in the presenescent subjects compared with adult ones. A significant positive correlation was pointed out between XO and subjects age (r = 0,4436; p < 0,01). Also, a significant positive correlation was evidenced between XO and the uric acid (r = 0,3212; p < 0,02), glucose (r = 0,2681; p < 0,05), urea (r = 0,3275; p < 0,01), total cholesterol (r = 0,3196; p < 0,01), triglycerides (r = 0,3260; p < 0,01) contents and AST (r = 0,2588; p < 0,01) and ALT (r = 0,3741; p < 0,01) activities. No correlation was showed between XO and creatinine, total proteins and fibrinogen contents. Plasma XO activity increase in aging may indicate the apparent minor changes of the energy metabolism, and the enzyme role to modulate the oxidative stress in plasma and endothelial cells, and to influence the endothelium dependent vasodilatation.
Evaluation of Moisture, Total Cyanide and Fiber Contents of Garri Produced from Cassava (Manihot utilissima) Varieties Obtained from Awassa in Southern Ethiopia

3 Abstract: Cassava (Manihot esculent crantz) as one of the most important root crops in Sub-Saharan Africa plays a vital role in the diet of many African countries especially the grass root people, being the major source of daily carbohydrate intake. Traditionally processed staple foods from cassava are available in Western and some Eastern African countries, such as garri , foofoo, boiled cassava meal, etc. Several varieties of M. Utilissima obtained from Awassa, Ethiopia, were processed, fermented and converted into garri. The moisture, total cyanide and fibre contents of the processed garri were analyzed. The results showed that the moisture, total cyanide and fiber contents varied from 26.12-40.02 %, 1.51-2.81 mg HCN/100 g and 1.80- 2.40% respectively. The largest reduction in cyanide content (41%) between the third and fourth day fermentation was found in the MM 96/5280 variety which had an increase of 32% fiber content when compared with other varieties. These results compared favorably with similar garri products obtained from Ghana and Nigeria. The ease of preparation and potential nutritional value resulting from fermentation, the low moisture, cyanide and improved fiber contents found, indicate the suitability of the garri products as nutritional food items. The Kello44/72 and MM96/5280 varieties with the lowest cyanide and comparable fiber contents are most suitable. In order to enrich the nutritional contents of the garri product, fortification with leguminous plants or fish is recommended so as to make it more suitable as an alternative food product to injera in Ethiopia.

Recognition of Sign Language Letters Using Image Processing and Deep Learning Methods

In order for people to be able to communicate with each other, they must be able to agree mutually. Communication is quite difficult for individuals with hearing problems. Such individuals make their lives much more difficult by isolating themselves from society. The people living with hearing loss can understand the contact person with often lip-reading method, but it is quite difficult for them to express themselves to the people. Since the use of sign language has not become widespread around the world, the number of people who know sign language is very low, except for individuals with hearing disabilities. In this study, it was achieved to dynamically recognize the movements of the sign language finger alphabet via image processing using deep learning methods and to translate it into writing. Accordingly, it is aimed to facilitate communication between people who do not know the sign language in daily life and people with hearing loss. The input given to the system is an image of the hand showing any letter from the alphabet. The image of the hand is interpreted by deep learning methods in the system, and it is compared to one of the letters in the alphabet and an output with the similarity ratio to this letter is displayed on the screen. The system has been tested with a total of 1300 images. The overall accuracy rate of the system was calculated as 88% where true positive rate was 87% and false negative rate was 13%.

The new fundamental plane dictating galaxy cluster evolution

Abstract In this study, we show that the characteristic radius rs, mass Ms, and the X-ray temperature, TX, of galaxy clusters form a thin plane in the space of (log rs, log Ms, log TX). This tight correlation indicates that the cluster structure including the temperature is affected by the formation time of individual clusters. Numerical simulations show that clusters move along the fundamental plane as they evolve. The plane and the cluster evolution within the plane can be explained by a similarity solution of structure formation. The angle of the plane shows that clusters have not achieved “virial equilibrium”. The details of this study are written in Fujita et al. (2018a,b).
Occurrence and Assessment of Alcohol Induced Liver Diseases in Mohali Region

Alcoholic Liver disease (ALD) the fatal condition occurred in recent times. Previous studies, suggested direct relationship between alcohol consumption and alcoholic liver diseases. Other risk factor promoting to such conditions includes genetic predisposing, gender, obesity, and nutrition status, liver disease hepatitis C. Alcoholic liver disease range from steatoses to alcoholic hepatitis and with prolonging effects leading to establish cirrhosis. Several mechanism were involved in alcoholic liver disease’ pathophysiology, including oxidative damage, leading to secondary alcoholic metabolism and endotoxemia results to tumor necrosis factor-α; mediated cell damage and death. Liver enzyme mainly transferases and phosphatases namely AST, ALT, GGT, and ALP levels in serum samples were measured. This study is conducted on various groups of patients suffering from chronic alcoholic diseases, with that of non-alcoholic diseases; along with the control samples were included. Analysis was done to find the significance of liver associated enzyme level in alcoholic and nonalcoholic liver conditions. For this study, 85 alcoholic subjects were enrolled and blood samples were collected from IVY hospital, Mohali. In this study, comparison of the total 85 patients; out of which 37 were females and 48 were males, between 21–78 age-groups. These patients were admitted for treatment for alcoholic liver disease and liver cirhosis conditions. The test data has been collected from the Department of Pathology, IVY Hospital Mohali. Liver associated enzyme AST, ALT, GGT and ALP were assayed in the clinical biochemistry laboratory. The enzyme activities were measured by using kinetic method, recommended methodology provided by International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC), conducted by using Beckman Coulter AU480 Clinical chemistry Analyzer (Fully automated Analyzer). In this study, there is a significance rise in AST/ALT ratio in the group suffering from alcoholic liver disease as compared to the another group with non-alcoholic liver disease, which suggests that men are more prone to alcoholic liver disease as compared with of the females. In this study, male patients of the age between 53-69 are more affected with alcoholic liver disease, which should be asked to get their liver profile investigated.
Afferent speech therapy system - assessment study of a multi-modal speech therapy device / vorgelegt von Anna-Maria Wilhelm

This thesis is an introduction to and evaluation pilot study of a newly developed method for speech therapy, Project ASTS (Afferent speech therapy system), which was developed in a collaboration between the rehabilitation clinic Judendorf-Straßengel and TU Graz. The method is made up of a larynx stimulator which is supposed to excite afferent nerve fibers, and a therapy software which aims at helping patients name pictures, repeat sounds and words, and discriminate minimal pairs. In the pilot study at hand, 6 patients were tested in one therapy unit without and with ASTS. Central questions were the following: Can a possible efficacy of ASTS be proven? If this is not the case, how can one proceed methodologically to answer this question? Unfortunately no answer could be provided for the efficacy of ASTS since too few probands, thus too little data, were included in the study. Moreover, there were methodological problems, as patients' symptoms and aetiologies differed considerably. Finally, proposals and methodological suggestions were made on the basis of recent literature.

Fish embryo toxicity assessment of o-dianisidine in Clarias gariepinus and its electrochemical treatment in aquatic samples using super conductive carbon black

The present study tested fish embryo toxicity (FET) of o-dianisidine (o-dian) on African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) and its electrochemical treatment through electro-oxidation of real aquatic samples for the first time. The o-dian exposed groups exhibited embryonic malformations, hatching retardation and mortality in a dose- and time-dependent manner compared to the control group even for 5 mg L−1 o-dian, in spite of being under the permissible limit. The LC50 values (with 95% confidence limits) of o-dian for larvae were estimated to be 42.614 (36.851–50.766), 35.327 (29.632–43.819) and 19.442 (15.448–24.539) mg L−1, respectively from 24 to 72 hours post-fertilization (hpf). Subsequently, the electrochemical uptake and treatment of o-dian was successfully demonstrated using a super conductive carbon black (CL-08) modified glassy carbon electrode in pH 2 phosphate buffer solution (PBS). The saturation surface coverage, Γs and adsorption constant, Ka values, evaluated using curve fitting for the Langmuir isotherm model, were 88.354 nmol cm−2 and 48.6 × 103 M−1 respectively. The calculated % yields of o-dian uptake on the electrode surface were 33, 43, 40 and 34. UV-Vis spectra of the electro-oxidized real samples showed 56, 36, 39 and 86% reductions of the o-dian absorbance peak at 363 nm respectively. The electrochemically treated real samples showed an efficient increase in the survival rate of African catfish larvae (p < 0.05).
