Expanding Rural Poultry Production through thr Use of Low Cost Cassava Fruit Coat as Alternative Fibre Source for broilers

The replacement value of a by-product of cassava harvesting – cassava fruit coat (CFC) meal for wheat bran (WB) for broiler production was investigated. CFC was produced by milling dried cassava fruits often discarded after harvesting the roots and stems. The CFC meal was used to replace 25, 50, 75 and 100% wheat bran (w/w) in a basal diet for broilers. Seventy-five one-week old broiler chicks were distributed into 15 pens each holding 5 birds. Each of the 5 experimental diets was allocated at random to 3 pens. At the end of the first 4 weeks (starter phase), the diets were switched to finisher diets for a further 4-week period. Feed and water were supplied ad libitum. Data were recorded and analysed on pen basis. CFC meal had a crude protein of 43.80 g/kg and crude fibre of 148.90 g/kg. Daily feed consumption was non-significantly reduced with increasing CFC meal levels. Daily weight, feed conversion ratio and efficiency of feed utilization were significantly (p 136.50 g/kg) in the diets of broilers elicit reduced nutrient digestibility, reduced weight and accretion of intestinal and visceral organs.
Exceptional poles of local spinor L‐functions of GSp(4) with anisotropic Bessel models

For noncuspidal irreducible admissible representations of GSp(4, k) over a local non‐Archimedean field k, we determine the exceptional poles of the spinor L‐factor attached to anisotropic Bessel models by Piatetski–Shapiro. This completes the classification of spinor L‐factors for GSp(4, k).
HD 121190: A cool multiperiodic slowly pulsating B star with moderate rotation

We have gathered and analysed multicolour Geneva photometry and high-resolution spectroscopy of the stars HD 121190 (B9V) and HD 106419 (B9III) whose short-term periodic variability had become evident from their HIPPARCOS data. We find three significant frequencies for HD 121190 in the Geneva data: 2.6831, 2.6199 and 2.4713 c d −1 and classify the star as a slowly pulsating B star, the coolest single star of that class known to date. Its amplitude ratios are compatible with low- degree gravity modes. The spectra reveal low-amplitude variability and v sin i = 118 km s −1 which implies that the star rotates at 26% of its critical velocity. For HD 106419 we are unable to confirm the period found from the HIPPARCOS photometry in our ground-based data; rather we find a marginally significant frequency of 0.8986 c d −1 . This star is probably an evolved slowly pulsating B star with complex variations. HD 106409 is also a moderate rotator as the spectra reveal v sin i = 78 km s −1 , which is also 26% of its critical velocity.
A Survey Data Response to the Teaching of Utility Curves and Risk Aversion

In many finance and economics courses as well as in practice, the concept of risk aversion is reduced to the standard deviation of returns, whereby risk-averse investors prefer to minimize their portfolios’ standard deviations. In reality, the concept of risk aversion is richer and more interesting than this, and can easily be conveyed through theoretical or applied examples. The authors offer an example of a 2-asset choice problem in which risk-averse investors ought to prefer the asset with not only a higher standard deviation but also a lower expected return. A corresponding survey of 131 respondents confirmed this preference.
Femtosecond time-resolved MeV electron diffraction

We report the experimental demonstration of femtosecond electron diffraction using high-brightness MeV electron beams. High-quality, single-shot electron diffraction patterns for both polycrystalline aluminum and single-crystal 1T-TaS2 are obtained utilizing a 5 fC (∼3 × 104 electrons) pulse of electrons at 2.8 MeV. The high quality of the electron diffraction patterns confirms that electron beam has a normalized emittance of ∼50 nm rad. The transverse and longitudinal coherence length is ∼11 and ∼2.5 nm, respectively. The timing jitter between the pump laser and probe electron beam was found to be ∼100 fs (rms). The temporal resolution is demonstrated by observing the evolution of Bragg and superlattice peaks of 1T-TaS2 following an 800 nm optical pump and was found to be 130 fs. Our results demonstrate the advantages of MeV electrons, including large elastic differential scattering cross-section and access to high-order reflections, and the feasibility of ultimately realizing below 10 fs time-resolved electron diffraction.
Cardiac functional remodeling indices in acute experimental infarction under the influence of inotropic agents

Objective: To study the time course changes of cardiac left ventricular (LV) geometry in acute experimental infarction by coronary artery ligation under the influence of inotropic agents. Methods: Cardiac remodelling indices depicted in the LV functional geometry such as lengths of LV long axis (LongAxL) and short axis (ShortAxL), their fractional shortening (LongAxFS and ShortAxFS) and a new recommended “function index” (FI=LongAxFS/ShortAxFS) were monitored echocardiografically in 20 anesthetized swines. Measurements were obtained before (control) and during a 75 min period following left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) ligation. Results: In the initial 11 animals studied ejection fraction (EF), LongAxFS and FI decreased significantly below control values all over the 75 min period after LAD ligation and ShortAxFS increased progressively above control values and maximized at the 45 min. In order to investigate the underlying mechanism of these changes, LAD ligation was performed under dobutamine infusion in the remaining 9 animals: EF, LongAxFS and FI failed initially into a decline and EF returned to control values at the 45 min and LongAxFS, FI at the 75 min. ShortAxFS remained unchanged vs control under dobutamine throughout the 75 min period. The changes in FI obtained under dobutamine infusion after ligation were best bivariately correlated (r=0.72, p<0.001) and independently associated in a multiple regression model (b=0.45, p<0.001) with the changes in EF. Conclusion: The echocardiography remodelling adaptation of LV functional geometry observed in acute experimental infarction consists in deterioration contractility across the LV Long Axis and in compensatory increase contractility of the Short Axis. Dobutamine infusion at a rate of 5 μg/kg/min was correcting both EF and LongAxFS and eliminating compensatory ShortAxFS changes to prevent the acute, unfavourable remodelling of the LV. Furthermore as manifested by all indices in this study, the new “function index” FI in early post myocardial infarction period predicts the complex LV functional geometry, cardiac remodelling and EF changes.
Prior Learning Assessment Strategies for Workplace Learning: Translating Practice Into Theory

Our assumption in this paper is that many PLA strategies can and should be used to help workers identify their learning that can be transferred to other jobs or post-secondary education. Most particularly, we examine, through the presentation of two our case studies, what strategies can help workers translate practice into theory. We also include strategies and approaches for higher education to use when providing PLA supports to workplaces.
Investigation of the Wave Nature of the Ukrainian Stock Market

In this work we concentrate on the long-term and short term cycles of Ukrainian stock market, being based on the nonlinear approach of the analysis of open systems. First, the paper gives an algorithmic model for the investigation of the nonlinear nature of stock market, which comprises five individual stages. Then, by analyzing the Hurst coefficient for the PFTS index for the Ukrainian stock market it is shown that it is persistent, i.e. contains the fractals. As the results, a parabolic function is used for the approximation of a nonlinear trend in the PFTS series. Moreover, the major tendency of the PFTS index gives the correlation trends of "blue chips". The elimination of trends and the usage of Fourier analysis allow one to determine the long-term and short-term cycles in the index and shares. Finally, by investigating the weight of the long-term harmonics in the cyclic component of the PFTS index, the stability of Ukrainian stock market is studied in a short-time period. The application of the results involves the forecasting of the crisis points of stock market and proves the effectiveness of shareholders

Yeast as a production platform in biorefineries: conversion of agricultural residues into value-added products

In contrast to a petroleum-based economy, which relies on the unlimited presence of fossil fuels, a biobased economy utilizes a broad spectrum of natural crops and biomass as raw substrates for the production of valuable materials. Biorefineries represent a promising approach for the co-production of bioenergy (biofuels, biogas) and value-added products (biochemicals, biomaterials, food). Within Europe, wheat straw represents the major crop residue and has been extensively considered as a promising feedstock in the biorefining process. Firstly, wheat straw is hydrolysed to obtain a sugar solution that is further converted into the desired product in a biocatalytic manner. Microbial fermentation is the core component of biorefineries and yeast, as for instance Candida guilliermondii, is an effective production platform for both, biofuels and biochemicals. One limiting aspect in using yeast in the biorefinery approach is the presence of inhibitors in lignocellulosic hydrolysates, such as acetic acid or furfural, influencing cellular growth and diverse metabolic processes. In order to overcome this problem, several genetic engineering approaches are used to increase yeast resistance towards these inhibitors and to enhance the overall production. In this paper, we summarized: 1) the pretreatment technologies for wheat straw bioconversion; 2) the Candida guilliermondii genetic engineering technologies and their biotechnological potential. In conclusion, biorefineries are a crucial factor in the transition towards a biobased and circular economy, and the implementation of yeast into this system offers a great opportunity to develop innovative strategies for a sustainable production in an environmentally friendly and economically feasible manner.
An Empirical Analysis of the Determinants of Net Interest Margins of Turkish Listed Banks: Panel Data Evidence from Post-Crisis Era

The aim of this study is to explore both the bank-specific and macroeconomic drivers of net interest margins using panel data techniques for a sample of 12 deposit banks publicly traded on the Borsa Istanbul over the post-crisis period 2010-2015. Our panel data results suggest that while bank size and managerial efficiency affect net interest margins negatively and significantly, operating cost, credit risk, and implicit interest payments influence the NIMs positively and significantly in the postcrisis era. The results also imply that macroeconomic indicators such as economic growth and inflation do not have any significant effects on the NIMs.
On the formation of UAl alloys in the molten LiCl-KCl eutectic

U-Al alloy formation has been studied in the temperature range of 400 – 550 °C by electrochemical techniques in the molten LiCl-KCl eutectic. Cyclic voltammetry showed that underpotential reduction of U(III) onto solid Al occurs at a potential about 0.35 V more anodic than pure U deposition. Open circuit potential measurements, recorded after small depositions of U metal onto the Al electrode, did not allow the distinction between potentials associated with UAlx alloys and the Al rest potential, as they were found to be practically identical. As a consequence, a spontaneous chemical reaction between dissolved UCl3 and Al is thermodynamically possible and was experimentally observed. Galvanostatic electrolyses were carried out both on Al rods and Al plates. Stable and dense U-Al deposits were obtained with high faradic yields, and the possibility to load the whole bulk of a thin Al plate was demonstrated. The analyses (by SEM-EDX and XRD) of the deposits indicated the formation of different intermetallic phases (UAl2, UAl3 and UAl4) depending on the experimental conditions.
Tanabe's Logic of the Specific and the Critique of the Global Village

La raison fondamentale qui conduit l'A. a affirmer que la logique du specifique de Tanabe appartient a la philosophie mondiale est qu'il s'agit d'une tentative d'incorporer cet element des Lumieres dans le dialogue rationnel. Durant les annees de formation de Tanabe, sa critique du specifique manquait d'un environnement culturel pour parvenir a pleine maturite. Tanabe speculait sur une conclusion contradictoire qui consistait a dire que la specificite japonaise pouvait etre une matrice universelle pour les autres cultures asiatiques. Il s'agit d'un point de vue remis en cause par la guerre entre le Japon et les autres pays d'Asie

Comparative Adsorption of Methylene Blue on Different Low Cost Adsorbents by Continuous Column Process

Dyes are commonly found in the effluents of many industries. The effectiveness of adsorption for the removal of dye from wastewaters has been made it an ideal alternative to other expensive treatment methods. Continuous column adsorption is more affective than batch adsorption. A comparative column adsorption study was performed using three different low cost adsorbents for the removal of methylene blue from synthetic wastewater. Sand was collected from Cox’s Bazar, and sugarcane bagasse and used black tea leaves were locally prepared in laboratory. Three columns were designed for different adsorbents maintaining all conditions were to be approximately similar. UV-vis spectroscopic method was used for analysis of methylene blue in solution. Column adsorption experiments were performed to investigate the comparison of breakthrough curves and exhaust capacity of three different adsorbents. Column study shows that the adsorption capacity of used black tea leaves is highest. The adsorption capacity of bagasse is lower than tea leaves but higher than sand.
Heavy-Light Mesons in the Nonrelativistic Quark Model Using Laplace Transformation Method

An analytic solution of the N-dimensional radial Schrödinger equation with the combination of vector and scalar potentials via the Laplace transformation method (LTM) is derived. The current potential is extended to encompass the spin hyperfine, spin-orbit, and tensor interactions. The energy eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenfunctions have been obtained in the N-dimensional space. The present results are employed to study the different properties of the heavy-light mesons (HLM). The masses of the scalar, vector, pseudoscalar, and pseudovector for B, Bs, D, and Ds mesons have been calculated in the three-dimensional space. The effect of the dimensional number space is discussed on the masses of the HLM. We observed that the meson mass increases with increasing dimensional space. The decay constants of the pseudoscalar and vector mesons have been computed. In addition, the leptonic decay widths and branching ratio for the B+, D+, and Bs+ mesons have been studied. Therefore, the used method with the current potential gives good results which are in good agreement with experimental data and are improved in comparison with recent theoretical studies.
Study the Incidence of Herpes Simplex Virus 2 and certain of their Immunological Aspects in Genitourinary Tract Infection amongMen in Al-Najaf City /Iraq

This study was planned to evaluate the prevalence and immunological aspects of Herpse simplex virus2 (HSV2) in the semen of men with genitourinary tract infection compared with control group in Al-Najaf City /Iraq. The attempts to investigate the sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) among individuals inhabit in highly restricted religions society could consider a difficult mission, therefore, this paper could provided a novel information about the status of that subject. Primarily, 115 semen samples were collected from cases of genitourinary tract infections, their ages ranged from 20-65 years old during the period from May to October 2015.Fifty samples were also obtained from a comparable 50 healthy persons, all investigated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). RT-PCR directed to certify HSV2 infections. Age groups it was comprised 20:40(50%) with significant statistical differences (p 0.05). We concluded that HSV2 is positively correlated and the patient age may play an important role in increasing the frequency of genitourinary tract infection. RT(PCR)is complementary to cell culture technique in diagnosis of HSV, and it`s preferred to use specific primers of viral virulence factors and different cell lines for monitoring viral pathogenicity and therapeutic approaches is recommend to study

Impact of Modality on Skills Training for Youth with Externalizing Problems: A Meta-Analysis.

A meta-analysis (37 published studies) that summarized treatment outcomes associated with skills training with antisocial youth was performed. As is consistent with the hypothesis, results indicate that skills training interventions delivered in the context of homogeneous groups of deviant peers produced smaller benefits than did skills training interventions delivered in the context of mixed groups of prosocial and deviant peer, or individual treatment. Also, as expected, treatment provided in the context of deviant-only groups attenuated treatment benefits more for more severely disordered groups such as those who are incarcerated or placed in a class for behavioral or emotional problems, than for youth who might only be at-risk for such conditions.

Analysisng Lee's Hypotheses of Migration in the Context of Malabar Migration: A Case Study of Taliparamba Block, Kannur District

Human Migration is considered as one of the important demographic process which has manifold effect on the society as well as to the individuals, apart from the other population dynamics of fertility and mortality. Several approaches dealing with migration has evolved the concepts related to the push and pull factors causing migration. Malabar Migration is a historical phenomenon of internal migration, in which massive exodus took place in the vast jungles of Malabar concentrating with similar socio-cultural-economic group of people. Various factors related to social, cultural, demographical and economical aspects initiated the migration from erstwhile Travancore to erstwhile Malabar district. The present preliminary study tries to focus over such factors associated with Malabar Migration in Taliparamba block of Kannur district (Kerala). This study is based on the primary survey of the study area and further supplemented with other secondary materials.
The use of causal language and filled pauses in children with and without autism

This study investigated the relationship between pragmatic ability and two aspects of structural language in conversational language samples from 24 school-age children with and without high-functioning autism (HFA): causal statements and speech disruptions. In contrast to a majority of previous studies, grammatical complexity and mean length of utterance were factored into the analyses, since these are potential confounding variables. The results showed that children with HFA used fewer spontaneous causal statements and fewer filled pauses in conversation compared to children with typical development (TD). There was also a significant and positive relationship between filled pauses and pragmatic ability after controlling for structural language ability. The results may help us understand the conversational patterns of children with HFA better.
The Numerical Solution of Nonlinear Fredholm-Hammerstein Integral Equations of the Second Kind Utilizing Chebyshev Wavelets

This paper describes a numerical scheme based on the Chebyshev wavelets constructed on the unit interval and the Galerkin method for solving nonlinear Fredholm-Hammerstein integral equations of the second kind. Chebyshev wavelets, as very well localized functions, are considerably effective to estimate an unknown function. The integrals included in the method developed in the current paper are approximated by the Gauss-Chebyshev quadrature rule. The proposed scheme reduces FredholmHammerstein integral equations to the solution of nonlinear systems of algebraic equations. The properties of Chebyshev wavelets are used to make the wavelet coefficient matrix sparse which eventually leads to the sparsity of the coefficients matrix of obtained system. Some illustrative examples are presented to show the validity and efficiency of the new technique.
Introducing Energy Efficiency into SQALE

Energy Efficiency is becoming a key factor in software development, given the sharp growth of IT systems and their impact on worldwide energy consumption. We do believe that a quality process infrastructure should be able to consider the Energy Efficiency of a system since its early development: for this reason we propose to introduce Energy Efficiency into the existing quality models. We selected the SQALE model and we tailored it inserting Energy Efficiency as a sub-characteristic of efficiency. We also propose a set of six source code specific requirements for the Java language starting from guidelines currently suggested in the literature. We experienced two major challenges: the identification of measurable, automatically detectable requirements, and the lack of empirical validation on the guidelines currently present in the literature and in the industrial state of the practice as well. We describe an experiment plan to validate the six requirements and evaluate the impact of their violation on Energy Efficiency, which has been partially proved by preliminary results on C code. Having Energy Efficiency in a quality model and well verified code requirements to measure it, will enable a quality process that precisely assesses and monitors the impact of software on energy consumption.
