Food and feeding behaviour of cattle and ponies in the New Forest, Hampshire

(1) Foraging behaviour auad composition of diet of free-ranging cattle and ponies were investigated in the New Forest in Hampshire. Both cattle and ponies are preferential grazers and spent most of their time feeding on the various natural and improved grasslands of the Forest. (2) Cattle showed a relatively constant pattern of use of habitat throughout the year with heavy emphasis on improved and streamside grasslands (70-80%/0 of foraging observations) and extensive use of heathland (wet heaths in summer, dry heath in winter). Feeding use of other communities was slight. (3) Species composition of the diet of cattle was also similar throughout the year. Grasses (and supplementary hay or straw in winter) constituted 70-80%/0 of the diet in all months, with the balance made up of heather (both Calluna vilgaris and Erica spp.). No other items contributed more than 3%/0 of the diet at any time. (4) By contrast, ponies showed marked seasonality in their use of vegetation. Improved grasslands were important throughout the year, but wet heaths, bogs and natural acid grasslands showed a clearly seasonal pattern of use, matching the time of growth of Molinia caerulea in each community. Ponies made increased use of browse materials during winter and thus increased their foraging use of gorsebrake and deciduous woodland at that time. (5) Diet of the Forest ponies also showed seasonal variation. Summer diet, like that of cattle, was primarily of grasses (80-90%/0) but Molinia caerulea, a species scarcely eaten by cattle, contributed to 20%/, of the diet at this time. Over the winter, percentage of grass in the diet declined to c. 50%10; a compensatory increase was noted in the amount of browse consumed, notably gorse (Ulex europaeus) and holly (Ilex aquifjlium). (6) During the growing season, species composition of pony diet was significantly correlated with productivity and digestible nitrogen content of forage species. It is suggested that ponies can adjust their diet to ensure maximum intake of digestible dry matter of high nutritional quality at any season. Lack of similar flexibility in the diet of New Forest cattle may be related to ruminal physiology and social constraints.
Participation of First-Degree Relatives of Women with Breast Cancer in 
Screening Programs

Background: First-degree female relatives of the patients with breast cancer have a higher risk of breast cancer than the general population does due to shared genetic factors and environmental and lifestyle similarities. Objectives: This study was conducted to determine the participation status of first-degree relatives of women with breast cancer in screening programs. Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted from May 2 to September 30, 2019, in the oncology unit of a university hospital in Turkey. All women who were first-degree relatives of registered patients at the specified time were considered without going through sample selection. Accordingly, 281 first-degree relatives of 135 breast cancer patients were included in the study. The data were collected by means of face-to-face interviews, the individual identification form created by the researchers in line with the literature, and the breast cancer screening program participation form. The data obtained from the study were evaluated using numbers, percentage distribution, arithmetic mean, and chi square test in the SPSS 23 statistical program. Results: In this study, it was found that only 63.3% of women knew breast self-examination, and only 37.4%of those women do it regularly. Morover 34.9% of women stated that they had clinical breast examinations before, and 24.6% had mammography before. It was found that women with secondary education or higher and benign breast disease had higher participation rates in all screening programs, and women over 40 years of age had higher rates of clinical breast examination and mammography (p<0.05). Conclusion: We concluded that women with first-degree relatives who have breast cancer do not adequately participate in the breast cancer screening program. We recommned information trainings be organized to raise awareness of women at risk group in terms of screening.
THE EVOLUTIONARY SIGNIFICANCE OF RARE MATINGS IN ANIMAL POPULATIONS

For evident reasons, field studies of the population ecology of rare or sparsely distributed animals are almost nonexistent. Less easily explicable is the dearth of theoretical papers concerned with ecological factors which may come into play for sexually reproducing species at low density. Andrewartha and Birch (1954:333, 337-43) state the lack of studies of "underpopulation," noting possible reduction of the innate capacity for increase because of the failure to find mates. They give a detailed discussion of mate-finding in the sheep tick, Ixodes ricinus, based on work by Milne. They also discuss briefly (op. cit.: 695-697) possible effects, at population low, on genetic composition in a fluctuating population. Since their work, Philip (1957) has presented a study of population growth (or extinction) based on analysis using the probability of fertilization of females in a random model in combination with the logistic curve. Numerous papers presented by Wright (e.g., 1931, 1940, 1948) have noted the relative importance of random fluctuations in gene frequency (as opposed to changes in frequency due to natural selection) in populations with small effective population size. Summaries of the evolutionary significance of Wright's work can be found in Dobzhansky (1951) and in Li (1955). Pertinent to this study are Wright's conclusions as to the importance of populations of small effective size in evolution. Thus Wright (1931:157)
Microencapsulation to enhance the storage stability of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG

Probiotics are the microorganism which when administered in sufficient amount confers health benefits. The major challenge encountered is the viability during administration and storage stability. In order to overcome these limitation Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG were encapsulated by ion gelation method using Pectin and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (NaCMC) separately. The developed encapsulated cells were coated using two different polymers, Eudragit S 100 and cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP). Encapsulated cells were stored at (30 ± 2 °C/65 ± 5 % RH) for 6 months known as intermediate term testing conditions (ITC) and at (40 ± 2 °C/75 ± 5 % RH) for 6 months for accelerated testing conditions as per ICH Guideline Q1A. The encapsulated Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG have shown better viability after long term stability study compare with the free cells. Thus, encapsulation could be a potential system for storage and administration of probiotics.

THE TOURISM CARRYING CAPACITY

The tourism currying capacity can be defined as the maximum number of tourists that can be contained in a certain destination area. The capacity is dictated by how many tourists an wanted rather than how many tourists can be attracted. This paper describes about the Impact of tourism on the environment and the socioeconomic either positive Impacts or negative Impact. By measuring the tourism carrying capacity the tourism areas can reduce the negative impacts of tourism. Some standards for recreation activities can be used for measuring the carrying capacity. The purpose of measuring carrying capacity is achieving sustainable tourism development.
Assessment of some heavy metals concentration in soil and irrigated vegetable (Hibiscus sabdariffa) in Mubi Metropolis

PUBLICATION INFO International Journal of Agricultural Invention (IJAI) RNI: UPENG/2016/70091 ISSN: 2456-1797 (P) Vol.: 3, Issue: 1, Pages: 1-5 Journal Homepage URL http://agriinventionjournal.com/ DOI: 10.46492/IJAI/2018.3. 1.1 ABSTRACT This research work aimed at assessment of some heavy metal concentration (Fe, Mn, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn) in soil and their uptake by Hibiscus sabdariffa vegetable in irrigation areas, and to ascertain the danger posed from the consumption of these vegetable to human health. Samples were collected from four different locations and analyzed using bulk scientific Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The concentration of heavy metals (mg/kg) in agricultural soil collected from different sites along river Yadzaram ranged from 8.33 to 15.54 for Fe, 0.051 to 0.227 for Cu, 7.245 to 8.545 for Mn, 0.001 to 0.002 for Ni, 0.474 to 1.744 for Zn, and 0.001 to 0.005 for Pb. Fe concentration in plants (Hibiscus sabdariffa) ranged between 6.50 to 16.42 mg/kg in all four sites of the studied area, Cu values ranged between 0.30 to 0.72 mg/kg. The concentration of Mn in plants ranged from 2.73 to 12.09 mg/kg, Ni concentration in plant samples from four site varied from 0.001 to 0.004 mg/kg, Zn concentration varied from 0.98 to 1.99 mg/kg and Pb range values of 0.00 to 0.007 mg/kg. The contamination/ pollution index of heavy metals calculated for soil revealed that all sites were polluted with Fe at Kwacham, Wuro-gude, Kwachiffa and Sabon Gari site which suggested that it might pose negative effect on plants and soil environments while Ni, Zn, Mn, Cu and Pb are below range and will have no negative effect on soil, plant and environments.
Dietary omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and mammary carcinogenesis: molecular and cellular bases

Omega-3 and omega- 6 polyunsaturated lipids constitute essential components of the diet. Dietary patterns with high omega-6 consumption have been associated with a higher risk of breast cancer. Omega-3 intake seems to have a protective effect since it is involved in biological mechanisms that favor inhibition of mammary carcinogenesis.Omega-6 fatty acids can act as competitive inhibitors of omega-3 in lipid metabolism and, in this sense, they could inhibit cytoprotective and antiinflammatory effects of omega-3.This hypothesis will indicate the importance to keep an adequate n-3/n-6 ratio for the prevention of breast cancer. This fact contrasts with the high consumption of omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids in Western countries. Nowadays, the cumulative scientific

DISTRIBUTION AND REINFECTION OF ALGINIC ACID DECOMPOSING BACTERIA ON JUVENILE LAMINARIA JAPONICA

Samples of juvenile sporophyte of Laminaria japonica were collected from breeding house near city of Rongcheng and Weihai, Shandong peninsula. Alginic acid decomposing bacteria were isolated from the seaweeds surface. Study on distribution and infection of the bacteria was then studied. At 22℃, isolation and purification of the bacteria were performed. Verification and correlation analysis between the number of heterotrophic bacteria and the decayed juvenile sporophytes was carried out. Results showed that the total number of heterotrophic bacteria (1.22×10 8 cfu/g) on infected juvenile sporophyte in seeding net was 100 times higher than that from normal cultivars: (1.11—1.15)×10 6 cfu/g, and that the number of alginic acid decomposing bacteria (4.88×10 7 cfu/g) was up to 100—500 times of that of the latter [(0.8—4.3)×10 5 cfu/g]. Compared with normal Laminaria juvenile sporophyte, the total number of heterotrophic bacteria from infected and dead sporophyte was ten times higher, and the number of alginic acid decomposing bacteria was about 200 times higher. It is estimated that the alginic acid decomposing bacteria took about 61.98% of the total of heterotrophic bacteria. Re-infection tests indicated that the alginic acid decomposing bacteria was insensitive to high temperature, even though the occurrence of decayed juvenile sporophytes was at 6℃. The optimal temperature for growth of the isolated alginic acid decomposing bacteria was about 20℃. It will be time consuming and laborious if only isolated at 6℃, and will hinder the normal growth of alginic acid decomposing bacteria. Lab study on the heterotrophic bacteria behavior indicated that the decayed Laminaria tissues occurred at 15℃ but 6℃. Dense population of farming and complicated bacterial function could be the possible reasons. Some alginic acid decomposing bacteria isolated form the healthy juvenile sporophyte showed a moderate ability for decomposing alginic acid sodium at 25℃ but exhibited a strong ability against the infection at 15℃. While those from the decayed juvenile sporophytes or strong decomposition of alginic acid sodium at 25℃ did not showed the strong ability for infected the algal tissue at 15℃, this may ascribed to the culture conditions under different temperatures and re-infected algal materials. Our re-infected tests proved that the alginic acid decomposing bacteria is opportunistic pathogen to the Laminaria sporophyte. Close co-relation existed between the decay of Laminaria and the alginic acid decomposing bacteria, this indicated that the de-attached juvenile sporophyte will possibly resulted in the fluctuation of alginic acid decomposing bacteria. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the de-attached juvenile sporophyte immediately when it occurred in the breeding seawater system, otherwise, the breeding seawater contaminated with de-attached juvenile sporophyte would cause the huge increase of alginic acid decomposing bacteria, and eventually led to the decay or de-attachment of juvenile sporophyte.
Recent Advances in the Quest for Treatment and Management of Alzheimer and Other Dementia

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease distinguished by progressive cognitive deterioration along with declining activities of daily living and behavioral changes. It is the commonest type of pre-senile and senile dementia. Many new therapeutic strategies have been developed in the last few years. We aimed at reviewing the evidence supporting these new therapeutic targets, including anti-amyloid and anti-Tau strategies. This review is focused on important future direction in investigation of potential therapeutic targets for AD drug discovery. Medical advances have improved treatment of many diseases but still there is a need to establish new tools for early diagnosis of AD. A thorough comprehensive understanding of the unexplored mechanism can ameliorate the diagnostic and therapeutic management of AD. There have been several disease-modifying therapeutic strategies for AD in the last few years and are presently at various phases of investigation. Few of them have shown promising results, but their safety and efficacy need to be further explored.

Fast but not furious: Accelerated orthodontic tooth movement

One of the major limitation of any orthodontic treatment is the length of the treatment which is about two to three years. Lengthy orthodontic treatment not only prompts patients, to avoid treatment or to find other shorter alternative procedures which can compromised the results but also can lead to complications like gingival recession, root resorption or a higher predisposition to caries. Hence, many methods to accelerate the tooth movements were proposed, which can be grouped in to surgical, device assisted or mechanical stimulation and drugs. Each method has their own advantages and disadvantage. The aim of the current study is to critically analyze all the approaches in accelerating the tooth movement and to highlight the latest techniques.

Effect of growth regulators, urea and tree spray oil on bloom delay and productivity of almonds

Efficacy of GA, ethephon, succinic acid, urea and tree spray oil on bloom delay, fruit set, fruit retention and green almond yield was evaluated. The experiment was conducted during 1987–88 on 7-year old Nonpareil and Drake cultivars on bitter almond rootstock. All the chemicals delayed the bloom significantly but succinic acid (600 ppm) and ethephon (300 ppm) were more effective. GA, succinic acid and urea improved the fruit set and maximum retention was observed in 200 ppm GA. Ethephon reduced the fruit retention markedly. Green almond yield was increased with succinic acid, urea and tree spray oil but decreased appreciably with GA and ethephon. The maximum yield was recorded with 800 ppm succinic acid spray.

Thrombosis of a biological pulmonary valve in a young patient on anticoagulant therapy with rivaroxaban: a case report

Abstract Background Patients with repaired tetralogy Fallot often develop severe pulmonary regurgitation (PR) and need surgical or catheter valve replacement/implantation. Early valve failure is not expected and thrombosis of a biological valve in a mid-term period after surgery on pulmonary position is rare. Case summary We report a 33-year-old female patient, who presented with heart failure, 18 months after surgical implantation of a biological valve on pulmonary position for severe PR, after previous complete repair. The patient was on anticoagulant therapy with novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. After revealing a big pulmonary valve (PV) thrombus as a cause of severe valve stenosis and right heart failure, patient was re-operated without complication. After surgery a long-term warfarin therapy was introduced. The patient had an uneventful 9-month follow-up. Discussion Thrombotic events after rivaroxaban therapy are rare in non-valvular disease and there is paucity of data for NOAC therapy related to valve thrombosis. In our case, severe heart failure 1 year and a half after PV replacement, in a patient taking anticoagulant therapy, was unexpected. The diagnosis of valve thrombosis was revealed by echocardiography, and confirmed by computed tomography. We did not find any sign of thrombophilia, or any mechanical reason for valve thrombosis.

Biology of Mesochorus nigripes: a Hyperparasite of Bathyplectes Spp.,

Mesochorus nigripes Ratzeburg is an indirect solitary hyperparasite of Bathyplectes stenostigma (Thomson) and B. curculionis (Thomson). Females lay single eggs in larvae of these parasites which are within larvae of the alfalfa weevil. The egg is hymenopteriform and continually enlarges from oviposition to eclosion. The 1st stage larvae eclose in 43–100 h. Once this stage reaches maximum size, the larva becomes quiescent and overwinters. The larva molts to the 2nd instar with the onset of warm spring weather. Both 2nd and 3rd stages require ca. 3 days for completion. The 4th stage larva matures in 4–5 days. Pupation requires 7–8 days for completion. Females emerge in 16–21 days at 26.7°C. Males were not found in field collections or in laboratory rearings. The initial hyperparasitism of the larval parasites ranged as high as 30% in newly-infested fields, but dropped and has remained relatively constant at 10% in older infestations. This reduction may be a natural phenomenon caused by environmental pressure or it may be due to a normal cyclical fluctuation in the population. The spread of this hyperparasite to other nearby states appears inevitable.

Survival of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. and Nakai) seeds at 40°C prolonged by prior storage at 30°C

Abstract Seeds of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai var. Congo) were subjected to mild accelerated ageing treatments of 30 and 60 d at 30°C at a moisture content of 7.2%. In comparison to a cold-stored control, normal germination and viability were slightly (but not significantly) decreased by these treatments. Subsequent construction of survival curves during storage at 40°C, at seed moisture contents ranging from 10–18%, revealed that the prior 30°C ageing treatments prolonged survival under these conditions.
Beyond SHAM and cyanide : opportunities for studying the alternative oxidase in plant respiration using oxygen isotope discrimination

Discrimination against 18O during dark respiration forms the basis of a new technique for measuring- flux through the alternative pathway during plant respiration. This technique, first reported by Guy and coworkers, is the first to allow measurements of the alternative oxidase in vivo under steady-state conditions. Improvements to the technique have produced a gas-phase system which allows measurements of alternative pathway flux in intact tissues in less than an hour. The development and application of these techniques and the potential for future experiments are discussed in this review.
