Pilot Study of Salinity(NaCl) Affecting Nitrogen Transformation in Silt Loam Soil

With laboratory incubation method at constant temperature under aeration conditions,an experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of sodium chloride(NaCl) on mineralization and nitrification in a silt loam soil which is one of the typical soils in the cultivated layer of Beijing area.Concentrations of NaCl solution applied to the soil were 0,20,30,50 and 80(mg/L),respectively.The soil was amended by using(NH_4)_2SO_4 solutions(nitrification),and then aerated with temperature of(30 ℃) for 105 days(mineralization) and 49 days(nitrification). Results indicated that mineralization in the soil was enhanced by low concentration at the initial stages.The cumulative mineralization and nitrification for treatment with concentration of 20(mg/L) increased by 18.21% and 1.87% respectively,compared with the contrast treatment.For a relatively long period,mineralization and nitrification of nitrogen were inhibited by NaCl concentration.The mineralization and nitrification rate decreased with concentration increasing.The inhibition rate of cumulative mineralization and nitrification reached 67.92% and 62.58% respectively.Mineralization and nitrification potential decreased exponentially with salt concentration,respectively.Relationship between mineralization constant and nitrification constant and salt concentration can both be expressed as quadratic function.

Determination of in vitro dry matter, protein, and fiber digestibility and fermentability of novel corn coproducts for swine and ruminants

Abstract New processes are being used in some dry-grind ethanol plants in the United States and Brazil to improve ethanol yield and efficiency of production while also providing nutritionally enhanced corn coproducts compared with conventional corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS). The objectives of this study were to determine the chemical composition and in vitro digestibility of 5 conventional corn DDGS sources and 10 emerging novel corn coproducts for swine and ruminants, and compare coproducts produced using similar processes in the United States and Brazil. Chemical composition, on a dry matter (DM) basis, among the 15 coproducts ranged from 18.5% to 54.7% for crude protein (CP), 12.3% to 51.4% for neutral detergent fiber (NDF), 1.6% to 8.6% for acid detergent fiber, 4.7% to 12.3% for ether extract, and 1.6% to 8.6% for ash. For swine, in vitro hydrolysis of DM and CP were greater (P < 0.01) for the three U.S. corn DDGS sources compared with the two Brazilian corn DDGS sources, but in vitro fermentability of DM was comparable (P > 0.05) among all sources except one U.S. DDGS source that had less fermentable DM. High-protein and yeast dried distillers grains (Ultramax, UM; StillPro, SP) coproducts also had comparable (P > 0.05) DM fermentability for swine, but UM coproducts had greater (P < 0.01) DM and CP hydrolysis compared with SP. High-protein distillers dried grains (HP-DDG) from Brazil had greater (P < 0.01) DM and CP hydrolysis, but less (P < 0.01) DM fermentability for swine than HP-DDG produced in the United States, using the same process. For ruminants, total DM digestibility was greater (P < 0.01) in conventional DDGS sources from the United States compared with the two DDGS sources from Brazil. Total protein digestibility for ruminants was comparable and above 81% for all coproducts except for a DDGS source from Brazil, a HP-DDG source from the United States, and a UM sample. Interestingly, the corn fiber + solubles coproduct had not only relatively high digestibility of NDF (67.9%), DM (91.6%), and total CP (81.9%) for ruminants, but it also had relatively high total tract digestibility of DM (86.2%) and CP (69.9%) for swine. These results suggest that nutrient digestibility of conventional DDGS sources produced in the United States appear to be greater than corn Brazilian DDGS sources, but new process technologies being implemented in ethanol and coproduct production in both countries can enhance the nutritional value of corn coproducts for both swine and ruminants.
Genome Based Research in Aquaculture

Genome -based technologies are being instigated to manipulate the structure and function of the genome and to identify the genes of interest for genetic modification of economically important species. Genome editing technologies have also been designed for genetic manipulation of aquaculture species to increase production and quality with minimum investment costs. DNA marker technologies are the most widely used genome technologies. DNA fingerprints are used to construct physical maps while genetic maps are based upon meiotic recombination. BAC fingerprinting is the commonly used method for physical mapping. Nextgeneration sequencers revolutionized science and allowed the de-novo whole genome sequencing. QTL mapping has made it possible to identify the genes responsible for a particular trait. Government involvement and better training of aqualturists are direly needed to reinforce the practical implications of genomebased technologies.
The molecular view of mechanical stress of brain cells, local translation, and neurodegenerative diseases

The assumption that chronic mechanical stress in brain cells stemming from intracranial hypertension, arterial hypertension, or mechanical injury is a risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases was put forward in the 1990s and has since been supported. However, the molecular mechanisms that underlie the way from cell exposure to mechanical stress to disturbances in synaptic plasticity followed by changes in behavior, cognition, and memory are still poorly understood. Here we review (1) the current knowledge of molecular mechanisms regulating local translation and the actin cytoskeleton state at an activated synapse, where they play a key role in the formation of various sorts of synaptic plasticity and long-term memory, and (2) possible pathways of mechanical stress intervention. The roles of the mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) signaling pathway; the RNA-binding FMRP protein; the CYFIP1 protein, interacting with FMRP; the family of small GTPases; and the WAVE regulatory complex in the regulation of translation initiation and actin cytoskeleton rearrangements in dendritic spines of the activated synapse are discussed. Evidence is provided that chronic mechanical stress may result in aberrant activation of mTOR signaling and the WAVE regulatory complex via the YAP/TAZ system, the key sensor of mechanical signals, and influence the associated pathways regulating the formation of F actin filaments and the dendritic spine structure. These consequences may be a risk factor for various neurological conditions, including autistic spectrum disorders and epileptic encephalopathy. In further consideration of the role of the local translation system in the development of neuropsychic and neurodegenerative diseases, an original hypothesis was put forward that one of the possible causes of synaptopathies is impaired proteome stability associated with mTOR hyperactivity and formation of complex dynamic modes of de novo protein synthesis in response to synapse-stimulating factors, including chronic mechanical stress.
Nurse’s Work Climate and the Application of Patient Safety Measures in Sartika Asih Hospital, Bandung

Patient safety is important and can be facilitated by improving the work climate for nurses. This study aims to describe the work climate of nurses and its impact on the application of patient safety at Sartika Asih Hospital, Bandung. The design of this study was descriptive with a cross-sectional approach. The population of this research is 84 nurses, and a simple random sampling technique was used to select 69 people. Data collection used the NWork Climate questionnaire by Suyanto with 36 statements. The univariate analysis used indicates that 56.5% respondents felt the work climate was not good, while 43.5%) felt it was good. According to Muadi (2019) work climate is a tool of environmental characteristics. Perceived directly by employees and assumed to have the main power in influencing employee behavior, the work climate is partially created visthe collaboration between the nurse and manager. The working climate of nurses in the hospital is still not good, so the hospital needs to make policies to improve this, including the scheduling of regular meetings and plans to increase the knowledge of nurses.
Oestrus synchronization in high lactating dairy cows

This study was conducted to compare a recent method for oestrus synchronization in lactating dairy cows using PGF2α (P), GnRH (G) and estradiol cypionate (ECP). Four treatments were performed on sixty dairy cows. In treatment 1-PP (twice prostaglandin), cows received two injections of PGF2α on days 0 and 11 (n=14). In treatment 2-PGP (prostaglandingonadotropin-prostaglandin), cows were injected twice with PGF2α, on days 0 and 11 and 100 ug of GnRH on day 3 after the 1 injection (n=14). In treatment 3-PGPE-0 (prostaglandin-gonadotropin-prostaglandin-estradiol-0), cows were treated with PGP and 1 mg of ECP at the same time of 2 PGF2α injection (n=16). In treatment 4-PGPE-1 (prostaglandin-gonadotropinprostaglandin-estradiol-1), cows were treated with PGP and 1 mg of ECP one day after 2 PGF2α injection (n=16). The cows were examined rectally and ultrasonographically. Every cow was blood sampled at selected intervals for progesterone and estradiol assay and inseminated at oestrus. After 1 PGF2α injection, a higher percentage of ovulated cows observed with PGP than PP treated cows (64.3 % vs 50 %; P<0.05). The GnRH-treated cows tended to have a larger mature follicle present at 2 PGF2α injection (71.4 %) than none treated ones (50 %). Two days after 2 PGF2α injection, cows treated with PGP had a higher peak preovulatory concentrations of estradiol compared to PP treated cows (3.2 ± 0.48 vs 2.6 ± 0.45 pg/mL). Additionally, cows treated with ECP (PGPE-0 and PGPE-1) had a higher peak preovulatory concentrations of estradiol (6.3 ± 0.43 and 6.99 ± 0.63 pg/mL; P<0.01); and a higher percentage ovulation (75.0 % and 87.5 %) than the other treated groups (PP or PGP). Submission rates (number of inseminated/total X 100), differed statistically across treatments, especially those treated with ECP, as well as the conception and pregnancy rates observed were higher with the ECP treated cows than the other treatments. In conclusion, PGP protocol seemed to produce more mature follicles and ovulated cows. The combination of ECP and PGP (PGPE-1) enhanced oestrus
Coefficient-based accounting of Net Additions to Stock (NAS) and associated embodied energy for Eryaman, Ankara

ABSTRACT Considering the large spatial scale of urban development in metropolitan areas, data quality and resolution are very important in determining accurate material stock figures. There is currently a limited but growing number of studies that employ bottom-up accounting based on high resolution spatial data rather than analysis of aggregated city-level data as was employed in relatively older studies. This study contributes to this literature by assessing Net Additions to Stock (NAS) in Eryaman, Ankara, Turkey using GIS software NETCAD. It was determined that NAS on a per capita basis for the early and mature stages of urban development correspond to 1,800 and 240 ton/capita, respectively. These figures of material stock are greater than that of many other cities owing to high Material Intensity Coefficients (MICs) of reinforced concrete and masonry structures prevalent in the study area. When energy demand for construction materials was considered, it was determined that the material stock has a total embodied energy of 21.2 TJ in 2015. The findings of the study, in line with previous findings in the literature for other urban areas, point to the need for focusing on material selection as functional elements and intensified eco-efficiency efforts for sustainable urban development.Not Started Completed Rejected.
Flow synthesis approaches to privileged scaffolds – recent routes reviewed for green and sustainable aspects

Privileged scaffolds as starting points toward biologically active molecules represent a neuralgic point in drug discovery. The ability of synthetic chemists concerned with their generation should be flanked by robust technologies enabling the efficient synthesis and decoration of large libraries for extensive screenings and for scale-up processes. The use of continuous flow chemistry in the pharmaceutical chemistry sector may facilitate privileged scaffold generation and implementation of more efficient multistep transformations which can contribute to developing green and sustainable processes. This review discusses the use of flow chemistry applied to the synthesis of privileged scaffolds, considering also sustainability and green chemistry aspects. Flow protocols are discussed in a unified fashion such as to facilitate effective comparison between both the various chemical approaches used on the one hand, and the chosen technical solutions across the various works on the other hand. The review also offers an authors’ perspective on potential future directions in the field.
Nutrition and Poultry Coccidiosis: Causes, Consequences and Current Strategies to Modulate the Disease

Eimeria spp. are parasites specialized in invade and replicate in the intestine, causing coccidiosis, an enteric disease of major economic importance worldwide. The disease causes losses in production and high morbidity ranging from bloody enteritis, with high mortality, to being subclinical silent but affecting feed intake and efficiency. However, intestinal lesions of the infection vary, depending on the species of coccidia. The most important Eimeria species in poultry are: E. tenella, E. acervulina, E. maxima, E. necatrix, E. mitis, E. praecox and E. brunetti. All those species affect different anatomic sites of the intestine. Thus, they alter the homeostasis of the host reducing nutrient absorption and utilization. Nutritional factors are key players in several steps of the coccidiosis disease. Firstly, as a susceptibility or protection factor, secondly, during the process of infection and pathogenesis, and thirdly, in the recovery and compensatory growth of the bird. Otherwise, coccidiosis also triggers immune response in the intestine. To counter these complicated effects, there are nutritional strategies (including formulation of key amino acids, vitamins, short and medium chain fatty acids, prebiotics, enzymes, among others) that can be utilized to reduce the infection, alleviate the signs, and boost the compensatory growth after infection. This chapter review the impacts of coccidiosis in nutrition and discuss about of strategies to mitigate these risks.

Spectral clustering based on high-frequency texture components for face datasets

Spectral clustering is one of the most widely used technologies for clustering tasks, which represents data as a weighted graph, and aims to ﬁnd an appropriate way to cut the graph apart in order to categorize the raw data. The pivotal step of spectral clustering is to ﬁnd out the accurate information to estimate the relationship of pairwise data, based on which a graph can be constructed. According to the cognition that different faces are distinguished by the edge contour which can be represented by high-frequency texture components, a novel spectral clustering algorithm via high-frequency signal of human face, named high-frequency spectral clustering (HFSC) is proposed. In HFSC, ﬁrst the local high-frequency texture components are extracted from samples. Then the relationship of pairwise samples can be estimated with the degree of correlation, which is produced from the image high-frequency information. The graph will be set up with the correlation information. Subsequently the graph cut will be implemented to achieve the ﬁnal clustering results. Experimental results show that this algorithm outperforms the state-of-the-art clustering methods on several datasets.

High-temperature LTCC assembly and design of SiC BJT-based negative charge pump

ABSTRACT This paper describes the negative charge pump design in state-of-the-art SiC BJT technology along with its assembly on the LTCC module for extremely high-temperature applications. Kiln thermal oven is used to test the system at 500°C and evaluate the system’s high-temperature performance. The charge pump design is separated into two sections: a diode-connected BJT charge pump and a cross-coupled RC oscillator. Commercially available NHT dielectric capacitors (390 pF) are used for both circuit sections. The designed LTCC module used DuPont™ 9k7 dielectric with gold metallization for routing traces. The oscillator output frequency varied from 35.7 kHz to 125 kHz across temperature for a fixed supply voltage of 11 V.
Delayed Speech Perception and Production after Cochlear Implantation in Bilingual Children from Non-Native Families

The aim of the study was to evaluate the outcomes of cochlear implantation (CI) in a group of immigrant deaf children living in a foreign language family, following up to 3 years of a personalized habilitation program compared to age-matched Italian CI recipients. Tests of speech perception ability such as the IT-MAIS, the LiP, the CAP, and speech production such as the MUSS have been used before CI and then after 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years. Nonparametrical tests were chosen for comparison. Eight bilingual CI recipients were included in the study and matched to 11 Italian CI recipients. The difference between chronological age at implantation, age at diagnosis, hearing age, and verbal age in the two groups of children was not significant. Comparison of the auditory perceptive and linguistic abilities between the two groups showed significant differences only in preoperative MAIS and postoperative CAP (1 to 3 years). In agreement with other studies, we achieved good performances from bilingual children with CI and our personal experience confirm the attitude of promoting bilingualism throughout the rehabilitation process.
Development of vegetal probiotic beverage of passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims), yam (Dioscorea cayenensis) and Lacticaseibacillus casei

Health and wellness are the guiding principles of the food industry. The link between health and intake of selected foods has promoted a greater consumption of functional foods (Martins et al., 2013). The increasing search for functional food, in particular probiotics, is justified by the range of benefits provided to consumers, including the prevention of dysbiosis, decrease of lactose intolerance, enhanced immunological function, and the more recently suggested benefits in the prevention of obesity, a current public health problem (Daliri & Lee, 2015).
Human manufacturing and the challenges of AI

Robota, a Czech word meaning serf labour or, more generally, drudgery, gave birth to the English term ‘robot’ with the publication of Karel Čapek’s 1920 play R.U. R. In today’s context, the etymology is not reassuring, with its echoes of slavery and hard labour. Slavery is a word we are forced to talk about again since, with the advancement of work carried out by robots, people run the risk of being forced or self-induced to comply with what is required by devices controlled by artificial intelligence. We are getting used to living so intimately with technologies that we do not bother to examine them in-depth.
Changing roles of the state in the financialization of urban development through chengtou in China

ABSTRACT While the enabling role of the state in the financialization of urban development has been widely noted, the changing and variegated roles of different state actors have been less explored. This paper investigates this issue based on chengtou as financial agencies in China. First, we show that financialization is not merely a state-led process, but that the state also restricted financialization at different stages. Second, albeit with stringent central regulations, local states have striven to support chengtou, which demonstrates intrastate divergence. Third, we illustrate the performance of local states across regions to show that financialization further differentiates the patterns of local financing.
A Vital Resource Ignored: An Exploration of the Ecotourism Potentials of Wuling Mushroom Rocks and Boulders in North-Western Ghana

ABSTRACT This paper explores the ecotourism potentials of Wuling mushroom rocks and boulders (WMRBs) in north western Ghana. The study employed a qualitative research approach covering 24 respondents. The results show that WMRBs' potentilas are the presence of beautiful geological and geomorphological formations interlaced with interesting local uses, myths, and availability of tourism infrastructure. Apart from the opportunity to protect local biodiversity, community members are also enthusiastic about developing the site since it will offer them jobs and recognition. However, there are some challenges and threats to ecotourism development in Wuling, including bureaucratic processes associated with tourism regulators and promoters, low investor interest, free access to the site and possible reprisal if tradtional sources of livelihood are truncated by the development of ecotourism facilities. To address these challenges, the paper recommends aggressive marketing of the potentials of WMRBs and sensitization to allay the fears of community members about ecotourism development.
