Influences of the selected additives on the weight loss and organoleptic properties of marinated mussels and squids

Effects of seven different solutions prepared from various additives (carrageenan, konjac flour, phosphate, yeast extract, xanthan gum and maltodextrin) were used to test for the first time in the marination of experimental seafood. The additives were added into the marination solutions and the samples were analyzed before and after marination. Statistically, the experimental solutions did not cause significant changes in pH, acidity and salt content of the samples (P < 0.05). The highest weight gains were obtained from the solution which contained 0.1% of konjac flour (E425 I) as 4.01, 5.21, 4.61 and 4.88 % in the mussels, big squids, diced squids and small squids, respectively. However, this solution was not preferred by the panellists because of its sticky texture. Inversely to red meat products, the solution containing phosphate caused weight loss during marination. The results indicate that the solution containing 0.2% carrageenan LM (low methoxyl) was the best solution in the marination process. Dipping into this solution caused weight gains of 4.69, 2.98, 4.04 and 2.78% in the big squids, the mussels, the small squids and the diced squids, respectively (P < 0.01). The organoleptic properties (mouth feel, flavour and softness) of mussels and squids were also improved by carrageenan LM addition. Sea food, weight loss, marination, carrageenan
Germination responses of Lehmann lovegrass to light.

Lebmann lovegrass (Eragrostis lehmanniana Nees.) is a perennial, warm-season bunchgrass that is native to South Africa and has been seeded and spread naturally in the southwestern United States. Germination of 4 seed lots of varying age was tested in relation to darkness and irradiance with red (R) and far-red (FR) light. Germination was low in continual darkness, but greatly increased after exposure to R. Irradiation with FR after exposure to R reduced germination, confirming phytochrome involvement. Exposure to R after prolonged imbibition in FR did not increase germination of 1-2-year-old seeds and only slightly increased germination of older seeds. An alternating temperature of 16 hours at 15 degrees C and 8 hours at 38 degrees C greatly increased germination of seeds exposed to fluorescent light and slightly increased germination of seeds in darkness compared to a constant temperature of 25 degrees C. Greater seedling emergence of Lehmann lovegrass when the canopy is opened by burning, mowing, or grazing is likely a function of red light stimulation of biologically active phytochrome and increased seedbed temperature fluctuations.
Status of aquaculture with respect to nutrition and feed

Aquaculture is basically rearing of aquatic animals, majorly fishes. Fish is very important animals and considered as a poor man protein food due to its lesser price. Fish consumers are greatly increasing with the current annual per capita consumption of 20/Kg. From the past 50 years, around 90% of the fish populations were destroyed by commercial fishing as fishermen use massive ships, innovative electronic equipment and satellites to find the fish for fishing. It is imperative to note that some areas due to low catch, fishermen are finding alternate jobs for their livelihood. According to FAO, there was a steep growth in the aquaculture industry for the last seven decades as the dependence of capture fishery for fish has greatly reduced. In that sense, only by capture fishery it is really difficult to meet the protein requirement to the human population; thus, aquaculture is now playing a substantial role. In aquaculture, profitability relies on the production of healthy fish which require quality ingredients and diets. Also, the performance and growth of aquaculture industry will greatly affect by feed costs as they constitutes around 50 to 60% of the total operating cost and therefore, fish nutrition and feed research are expected from these areas. The nutritional research encompasses the study of nutrients necessary for the maintenance of life. While the feed research covers the study on the preparation of quality ingredients which yield nutrients needed for the growth and performances of the animals. At present, works on fish feed nutrition is concentrated on the following areas: the nutrient requirements for larval, adult and broodstock fishes; metabolic role of each nutrients on growth and reproduction; manufacturing of artificial feed using low cost unconventional feedstuffs replacing with costliest conventional feed ingredients; identification of feed additives to improve the metabolism and growth; formulation of the standard feeds using quality and low polluting nutrients. The present paper discusses the challenges and scope of aquaculture industry in relation to nutrition and feed; but special attention has given to the aforementioned areas.
Non-Linear Filtering for Precise Point Positioning GPS/INS integration

This research investigates the performance of non-linear estimation filtering for GPS-PPP/MEMS-based inertial system. Although integrated GPS/INS system involves nonlinear motion state and measurement models, the most common estimation filter employed is extended Kalman filter. In this paper, both unscented Kalman filter and particle filter are developed and compared with extended Kalman filter. Tightly coupled mechanization is adopted, which is developed in the raw measurements domain. Un-differenced ionosphere-free linear combination of pseudorange and carrier-phase measurements is employed. The performance of the proposed non-linear filters is analyzed using real test scenario. The test results indicate that comparable accuracy-level are obtained from the proposed filters compared with extended Kalman filter in positioning, velocity and attitude when the measurement updates from GPS measurements are available.

Economic Inequality in Central, East and Southeast Europe

The article analyses the issue of economic inequality in the transition economies of Central, East and Southeast Europe. It consists of a literature review and a descriptive analysis as well as an econometric modelling exercise. In the first part we point at the fact that the rise in income inequality was triggered by the magnitude of transitional output loss and a reduction of formal employment. Rising wage inequality was at the core of total income dispersion, while government transfers had a redistributional function only in Central and Southeast European countries contrary to the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). In the econometric analysis it is found that for instance public utilities infrastructure liberalisation has increased inequality in transition, while price and trade liberalisation has decreased it. A high share of employment in industry and high government expenditures are connected with less inequality.
Integrated System and Component Technologies for Fiber-Coupled MM-Wave/THz Systems

THz and mm-wave technology has become increasingly significant in a very diverse range of applications such as spectroscopy, imaging, and communication as a consequence of a plethora of signicant advances in this field. However to achieve a mass production of THz systems, all the commercial aspects should be considered. The main concerns are attributed to the robustness, compactness, and a low cost device. In this regard, research efforts should be focused on the elimination of obstacles standing in the way of commercializing the THz technology. To this end, in this study, low cost fabrication technologies for various parts of mmwave/THz systems are investigated and explored to realize compact, integrated, and rugged components. This task is divided into four phases. In the first phase, a robust fiber-based beam delivery configuration is deployed instead of the free beam optics which is essential to operate the low cost THz photomixers and photoconductive antennas. The compensation of different effects on propagation of the optical pulse along the optical fiber is achieved through all-fiber system to eliminate any bulky and unstable optical components from the system. THz measurements on fiber-coupled systems exhibit the same performance and even better compared to the free beam system. In the next phase, the generated THz wave is coupled to a rectangular dielectric waveguide through design of a novel transition with low insertion loss. The structure dimensions are reported for various range of frequencies up to 650GHz with insertion loss less than 1dB. The structure is fabricated through a standard recipe. In third phase, as consequence of the advent of high performance active device at mm-wave and THz frequency, a transition is proposed for coupling the electromagnetic wave to the active devices with CPW ports. Different approaches are devised for different frequencies as at higher frequencies any kind of metallic structure can introduce a considerable amount of loss to the system. The optimized structures show minimum insertion loss as low as 1dB and operate over 10% bandwidth. The various configurations are fabricated for lower frequencies to verify the transition performance. The last phase focuses on the design, optimization, fabrication and measurements of a new dielectric side-grating antenna for frequency scanning applications. The radiation mechanism is extensively studied using two different commercial full-wave solvers as well as the measured data from the fabricated samples. The optimized antenna achieves a radiation efficiency of 90% and a gain of 18dB. The measured return loss and radiation pattern show a good agreement with the simulation results.
The reception of Bach's organ works from Mendelssohn to Brahms

In this penetrating study, Russell Stinson explores how four of the greatest composers of the nineteenth century-Felix Mendelssohn, Robert Schumann, Franz Liszt, and Johannes Brahms-responded to the model of Bach's organ music. The author shows that this quadrumvirate not only borrowed from Bach's organ works in creating their own masterpieces, whether for keyboard, voice, orchestra, or chamber ensemble, but that they also reacted significantly to the music as performers, editors, theorists, and teachers. Furthermore, the book reveals how these four titans influenced one another as "receptors" of this repertory and how their mutual acquaintances-especially Clara Schumann-contributed as well. As the first comprehensive discussion of this topic ever attempted, Stinson's book represents a major step forward in the literature on the so-called Bach revival. He considers biographical as well as musical evidence to arrive at a host of new and sometimes startling conclusions. Filled with fascinating anecdotes, the study also includes detailed observations on how these composers annotated their personal copies of Bach's organ works. Stinson's book is entirely up-to-date and offers much material previously unavailable in English. It is meticulously annotated and indexed, and it features numerous musical examples and facsimile plates as well as an exhaustive bibliography. Included in an appendix is Brahms's hitherto unpublished study score of the Fantasy in G Major, BWV 572. Engagingly written, this study should be read by anyone interested in the music of Bach or the music of the nineteenth century.
Observations of Barotropic Oscillations and Their Influence on Mixing in the Faroe Bank Channel Overflow Region

AbstractObservations of hydrography, currents, and microstructure are presented together with sea surface height (SSH) patterns from concurrent satellite tracks to describe the subinertial oscillations in the region downstream of the Faroe Bank Channel overflow. Energetic oscillations with a dominant 3–5-day period have previously been observed in the dense bottom layer and found to be consistent with topographic Rossby waves. Here, the authors present evidence that the oscillations extend over the whole water column and are connected to a wave-like pattern in SSH along the continental slope. The waves are observed in two satellite tracks running parallel to the slope and indicate a wavelength of 50–75 km, an amplitude of about 5 cm, and a phase speed of 15–20 cm s−1. The pattern extends at least 450 km along the slope. Repeat occupations of a section through a 4-day period show a barotropic velocity anomaly that is associated with an increase in plume transport [from 0.5 to 2.5 Sv (1 Sv ≡ 106 m3 s−1)] an.
Estimation of bivariate linear regression data via Jackknife algorithm

This paper is on the estimation of bivariate linear regression data using Jackknife algorithm. Jackknife delete-one algorithm was used to provide estimates of bivariate linear regression coefficient. The data used for this research were collected from Orji Town Primary School, Owerri North Imo State Nigeria. The data were on heights and weights of 20 randomly selected pupils in primary five and six. Partial estimates, Pseudo-Values, Jackknife Estimates, Jackknife Standard Deviations, and the Jackknife Standard Error were also computed. The result of the analysis revealed that the bias result was positive, which implies that the coefficient of correlation over-estimates the magnitude of the population correlation. For the regression, the jackknife parameters are linear functions of the standard estimates, which means that the

ESTABLISHMENT OF ENHANCED BIOLOGICAL PHOSPHORUS REMOVAL PROCESS BY USING SEED SLUDGE FROM A CONVENTIONAL ACTIVATED SLUDGE PROCESS

A lab scale sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was set up and operated to establish an Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal (EBPR) process. The SBR was seeded with biomass collected from a conventional activated sludge process. Development of EBPR characteristics in the SBR were monitored periodically throughout the 54-days of reactor operation. After 13 days of reactor operation, EBPR characteristics were observed. Effluent concentration of PO4-P were in the range of 5.4-9.5 mg/L from Day 13 to Day 54, except on Day 33 PO4-P was not detected. Although phosphorus removal performance was rather consistent in the period between Day 13 and Day 54 of reactor operation, the desired effluent concentrations of PO4-P have yet to achieve. It is believed that phosphorus removal efficiency can be further improved by optimizing the operational conditions of the EBPR system. The results of this study supported the enrichment of PAOs in the SBR within a relatively short sludge acclimatization period. Thus, it is feasible to establish EBPR process by using seed sludge from conventional activated sludge process.
The self-forming phenomenon: dynamic restructuring of tool surfaces in metal forming processes

A new approach which leads to tool-surface structures with improved tribological properties in metal forming processes is presented. This approach is based on the one hand on an increase of wear resistance and, on the other hand on the general idea to use the remaining wear mechanisms itself for the production of a defined geometrical surface structure during forming (self-forming phenomenon). This effect is initiated by a predefined three-dimensional material structure; i.e. a 3D-surface structure is created out of a 3D-material structure "in situ". In practice, the creation of a defined threedimensional material structure can be realised by local application of thermal or thermo-chemical surface-treatment techniques (thermal implantation).

COMBINING PRIMARY DESTINATION IMAGE WITH ACQUIRED EXPERIENCE FOR EFFECTIVE MARKETING IN TOURISM AND TOUR OPERATING

Nowadays, Mediterranean destinations face intense competition. Consequently, the enhancement of their image is imperative. This paper concentrates on the primary aspect of the destination image (perceived after the visit,) as a basis for evaluating the acquired experience and as a tool which can indicate improvements that would result in a positive future assessment and enhancement of the image. The paper uses as a case study Corfu island, a mature Mediterranean destination. The study implements descriptive statistics, factor analysis and logistic regression. The findings revealed the impact of several factors, in measurable terms, on the improvement of the overall acquired experience and destination image. Mostly though, revealed the way to convert a moderate "good" experience to an enthusiastic "very good". It suggests management priorities and targets for product differentiation, competitive advantage and supply improvements and the increase of product loyalty for both the tourism marketing authorities and the tourism entrepreneurs. The whole approach has not been applied to these types of destinations, being in that sense innovative.
Molecular investigations of prevalence of human papillomavirus in Lithuania

HPV is one of the major risk factors of cervical cancer and precancerous changes. Infection with its oncogenic types determines a faster progress of pre-cancer changes. Women infected with oncogenic HPV types or multiple HPV infection must be under careful observation of a gynaecologist. The aim of this article is to identify infection of women who have various cytological changes in the cervix with the HPV and its genotypes by means of molecular methods. A total of 99 women took part in the investigation (the experimental group is 33 women, the control group is 66). Flat epithelium cells from the cervix were taken to determine HPV, and DNA was isolated from all samples. The isolated DNA was studied to determine general HPV, and positive samples were genotyped (HV6/11, HPV16, HPV18, HPV31, HPV33, HPV45 and HPV59) by multiplex PCR. Having carried out HPV tests, twice as high incidence rate of infection with HPV in the experimental group than that in the control group was established (40 and 21%, respectively). High cancer risk HPV genotypes were determined in 62% of women in the experimental group, whereas in the control group oncogenic HPVs of HPV16 and HPV31 genotypes were identified in 36% of women. Double HPV infection was diagnosed in 4 women in the experimental group, which can determine a faster progress of pre-cancer intra-epithelial lesions.
Can Ants Apply What They Acquired Through Operant Conditioning?

Can an act learned through conditioning be adequately presented in a subsequent different situation under which it may be useful to the individuals? We approached this question, working on ants, and staying at a level basic compared to the largely developed Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) discipline. We simply conditioned the ants of both colonies A and B to a green hollow cube (= the conditioned stimulus CS1) associated with sugar water (= the unconditioned stimulus US1), and to basilica (= the conditioned stimulus CS2) associated with meat (= the unconditioned stimulus US2). We then deprived colony A of sugar water and colony B of meat. Thereafter, when confronted to the two conditioned stimuli at the same time, the ants of colony A chose CS 1 (previously associated with sugar water), and the ants of colony B chose the CS 2 (previously associated with meat). The ants chose thus the CS corresponding to the US of which they were deprived. They applied thus a behavior learned through conditioning in a subsequent situation under which this behavior may be useful. During our test experiment, the ants strongly responded to the adequate CS due to their high motivation resulting from starvation. Conditioning techniques might also be usefully used during humans’ treatment under the ABA discipline. Increasing the patients’ motivation during some conditioning performed for caring them may enhance the impact of that conditioning on the treatment efficiency.
Refractivity compensated tracking interferometer for precision engineering

Coordinate measurements are a standard task in industry. For larger volumes tracking devices are used, which optically measure 3D coordinates by different techniques, e.g. by interferometry or time of flight measurement. For these the refractive index plays an important role for the achievable measurement uncertainty. Within a European joint research program, PTB and SIOS develop a tracking device with internal compensation of the refractive index by using two different wavelengths. In a first step a prototype interferometer was set up for testing the components. First 1D results up to a length of six meters are presented. The prototype turned out to be mechanically not stable enough, but the compensation of the refractive index could be demonstrated clearly. Since this refractive index compensation method increases the uncertainty by a quite large constant factor, a procedure for averaging via optically measured temperatures while retaining the time resolution of the position data was developed.
