Dietary Xylanase Supplementation Affects Glucose Absorption and SGLT1 mRNA Expression in Intestine of Broiler Chickens Fed Wheat-based Diet

A hundred and fifty-six 1-day-old broiler chicks were divided into control and treatment groups with 6 replicates for each group to determine the effects of xylanase supplementation (1000 mg/kg) on glucose absorption and intestinal SGLT1 and GLUT2 mRNA expression in broilers fed wheat-based diet. The xylanase significantly increased ADG (average daily gain) by 4.81% (P 0.01) and decreased F/G (feed/gain) ratio by 5.00%(P 0.05). Serum glucose concentrations in mesentery vein was increased by 5.56% (P 0.05) in xylanase-supplemented group. A significant up-regulation of SGLT1 mRNA expression in duodenum (33.30%, P 0.05), not in jejunum of treated chickens was detected with semi-quantitative RT-PCR. However, the GLUT2 mRNA expression was affected neither in duodenum nor in jejunum by xylanase supplementation. This result indicated that xylanase might act mainly on the upper intestine to influence the glucose absorption by up-regulating SGLT1 mRNA expression in broiler chickens fed wheat-based diet.
Analysis of Inhibitory Activity and Antineoplastic Effect of Wild Type rBTI and Its Mutants

To examine the active site of recombinant buckwheat trypsin inhibitor (rBTI), two mutants (R45A-aBTI, R45F-fBTI) were generated through site-directed mutagenesis. Activity analysis found that the aBTI and fBTI had lost trypsin inhibitory activity. However, aBTI and fBTI showed new inhibitory activities against elastase and chymotrypsin, respectively. This result suggested that Arg45 is the active site of rBTI. These inhibitors showed remarkable stability to heat and pH. The possible effects of aBTI and fBTI on the proliferation of human HL-60 and EC9706 cell lines were investigated by MTT assays. It indicated that aBTI and fBTI could specifically inhibit the growth of HL-60 and EC9706 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The active site of rBTI was determined and two new inhibitors were obtained in this research. Knowledge about the active site is useful for further clarifying the physiological mechanism of rBTI and other protease inhibitors. New inhibitory activities of aBTI and fBTI are potentially useful in the fields of health and medicine.
On the Art of the No Drama: The Major Treatises of Zeami

This annotated translation is the first systematic rendering into any Western language of the nine major treatises on the art of the Japanese No theater by Zeami Motokivo (1363-1443). Zeami, who transformed the No from a country entertainment into a vehicle for profound theatrical and philosophical experience, was a brilliant actor himself, and his treatises touch on every aspect of the theater of his time. His theories, mixing philosophical and practical insights, often seem strikingly contemporary. Since their discovery early in this century. these secret treatises have been considered among the most valuable and representative documents in the history of Japanese aesthetics. They discuss subjects from the art of the playwright to the reciprocal nature of the relationship between performer and audience.
Identification of Volatile Compounds Produced Bacillus spp.and Their Antimicrobial Effects on the Anthracnose Pathogen from Postharvest Loquat

The volatile compounds produced strains of Bacillus spp.were antagonistic to the loquat anthracnose pathogen(Colletotrichum acutatum)in two-compartment plastic plates.The results showed that the inhibition rates of FJAT-4748 and FJAT-10011 were 90.06%and 54.99%,which were better than the other tested strains.Colony morphology and 16 SrDNA sequence assays showed that the tested eight bacterial strains of Bacillus spp.were Lysinibacillus xylanilyticus、Brevibacillus borstelensis,Brevibacillus brevis,Brevibacillus agri,Bacillus aryabhattai,Brevibacillus formosus and Bacillus simplex,respectively.Our results suggested that these volatile compounds produced Bacillus strains could be promising biocontrol strains for anthracnose in harvested loquat fruit.
The Black Band Disease of Atlantic Reef Corals. III. Distribution, Ecology, and Development

Some reef building corals in the western Atlantic are susceptible to an infection known as black band disease that is caused by the cyanophyte (cyanobacterium) Phormidium corallyticum RUTZLER & SANTA VY. Field observations on the barrier reef of Belize and on reefs of the Bermuda platform indicate the disease is fairly common in susceptible species. Coral tissue destruction monitored in situ in Belize reveals rapid spreading rates and seasonal! ty of the disease. Laboratory experiments confirm that P. corallyticum is the etiologic agent and we speculate that a toxic exudate is the cause of histolysis observed in coral penetrated by the organism.

Flooding and SO2 Stress Interaction in Betula papyrifera and B. nigra Seedlings

The effects of flooding of soil for 5 weeks and fumigation of shoots with 0.35 ppm SO/sub 2/ for 30 hours, alone and in combination, were studied on Betula papyrifera Marsh. (paper birch) and Betula nigra L. (river birch) seedlings. B. papyrifera, an upland species, was adversely affected by flooding more severely than B. nigra, a lowland species. Symptoms of flooding injury in both species included stomatal closure, chlorosis, deterioration of root systems, and greatly reduced dry matter accumulation. Flooding induced formation of hypertrophied lenticels and adventitious roots in B. nigra but not B. papyrifera seedlings. Seedlings of both species recovered 1 to 2 wk after flooding ended and continued growing at a faster rate than unflooded seedlings, thereby partially or completely compensating for the growth-inhibiting effects of flooding. Fumigation with SO/sub 2/ at the end of the flooding period induced partial stomatal closure, injury to leaves, and reductions in mean relative growth rates in both species. Stomatal conductance and SO/sub 2/ uptake in B. nigra seedlings were reduced 40 to 45 percent by flooding, respectively, and consequently SO/sub 2/ caused less visible injury (17 vs. 44 percent of leaf area) and less growth inhibition (0 vs. 26 percent inmore » mean relative root growth rate) in flooded than in unflooded seedlings. Stomatal conductance and SO/sub 2/ uptake were reduced even more in flooded B. papyrifera (75 and 77 percent, respectively), yet flooded and unflooded seedlings were similarly affected by SO/sub 2/. Flooding stress apparently affected mechanisms of pollution avoidance and pollution tolerance differently in the two species. « less
Enumeration and Localization of N2-Fixing Bacteria Associated with Roots of Spartina alterniflora Loisel

Numbers and possible locations of N2-fixing bacteria were investigated in roots of Spartina alterniflora Loisel, which support nitrogenase activity in the undisturbed native habitat. N2-fixing bacteria were recovered in cultures both from S. alterniflora roots and from the surrounding sediment, and they formed a greater proportion of the bacteria recovered from root homogenates than from salt-marsh sediment. N2-fixing bacteria were recovered in high numbers from the rhizoplane of S. alterniflora after roots were treated with 1 or 5% chloramine-T for 1 h or with 1% NaOCl for 1 or 2 h. Immersing S. alterniflora roots in 5% NaOCl for 1 h was more effective in distinguishing bacteria inside the roots since this treatment nearly eliminated N2-fixing bacteria recoverable from the rhizoplane, although high numbers of N2-fixing bacteria were recovered from homogenates of roots treated with 5% NaOCl for 1 h. However, this treatment was less effective with roots of Zea mays L. (Funks G4646) and Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench (CK-60 A), indicating that techniques to surface sterilize roots should be evaluated for different plants. Bacteria were observed by light and electron microscopy inter- and intracellularly in the cortex and in the aerenchyma of S. alterniflora roots. This study clearly shows that bacteria, including N2 fixers, colonize the interior of roots of S. alterniflora growing in a Chesapeake Bay, Maryland, salt marsh.
Content Change of Carbohydrate and Protein during Flower Bud Differentiation of Strawberry

Three different chilling-required strawberry cultivars were adopted in the experiment.The course of flower bud differentiation was observed and the content changing of total soluble sugar,reducing sugar,starch and soluble protein were measured during flower bud differentiation.The results indicated that the amounts of total soluble sugar,starch and soluble protein during the bud differentiation showed a similar tendency among three cultivars.The total sugar and reducing sugar content were steadily increased.There was little change in the content of starch before the initial stage but significant increase and then decrease during the period of flower cluster differentiation.The soluble protein was significantly decreased before the initial stage but increased and then decreased during the period of flower cluster differentiation.The content of soluble sugar,reducing sugar and starch of long chilling-required cultivars was higher than that of short chilling-required cultivars during the differentiation period but the content of soluble proteins of short chilling-required cultivars was lower than that of long chilling-required cultivars.
Response of grass growth and productivity to enhanced water input in ephemeral desert grassland in Gurbantunggut desert

Spring ephemerals form significant plant synusiae in the Gurbantunggut desert during April and May and are a crucial forage resource for livestock in early spring.In recent years global climate change has caused warming,increasing rainfall and flooding from snowmelt in Gurbantunggut desert.However,little is known about how the enhanced water input may influence the growth of individual plant species and the productivity of plant communities in desert grassland.A randomized block designed field trial,which contained three watering treatments(0,40 and 80 mm),was conducted in the Gurbantunggut desert,Xinjiang,northwestern China.The sum of the biomass of six dominant ephemeral species contributed more than 60 percent of the total above-ground biomass of the synusia.Five of the six dominant species(Erodium oxyrrhynchum,Trigonella arcuata,Alyssum linifolium,Ceratocarpus arenarius and Hyalea pulchella)showed a significant positive growth response with increasing water input.Compared to the control,the above-ground biomass productivity of the five plant species watered with 40 or 80 mm was increased by 86%-230%. The composition(%)of total above-ground biomass of individual species was significantly changed by enhanced water input;values for C.arenarius and E.oxyrrhynchum increased more than for the other species.This result indicated that these two species would potentially become even more dominant in the spring ephemeral synusia following the trend of enhanced precipitation.At the same time,plant density and coverage of the ephemerals were also significantly increased by enhanced water input.Such results implied that the role of ephemerals in stabilizing sand dunes may be strengthened by enhanced water input.It is concluded that enhanced precipitation could both increase the potential livestock carrying capacity of the desert grassland and promote restoration of the desert ecosystem.
Composition of fish filleting wastewater

The first step in pollution control is the characterization of the effluent. This work intends to be a contribution to the knowledge of fishery effluents and to give information necessary for wastewater treatment. Analyses for temperature, pH, settleable matter, total residue, grease and oil, phosphate, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, BOD} and COD were performed. Data were statistically analysed. It was concluded that the operational policy had a decisive influence on the composition of the wastewater. Moreover, seasonal variation, which could be correlated to raw material seasonal changes, was detected for grease and oil.
Effects of Compound Chinese Herbal Immune Synergist on Immunity of Egg-laying Chicken

Three Chinese herbal formulations were selected and each fomulation was used at levels of 1%,1.5% and 2% respectively.Weights of immune organs,B-and T-lymphocytes numbers at 45 days of ages,antibody titers of ND and IBD,phagocytotic function of neutral granular cells and conversion rates of T-lymphocytes were measured.The results showed that weights of spleen and bursal,relative numbers of B-lymphocytes and T-lymphocytes in experimental groups were higher than those in control(P0.05),particularly in prescription B group.Antibody titer of ND and IBD,phagocytosis rates and indices,conversion rates of T-lymphocytes in experimental groups were higher than those in control(P0.05). The differences of antibody titer in different groups were not significant before 20d,and tented to be significant after 34 days of age(P0.01). The differences of phagocytosis rates and indices at 54 and 126 days of age between groups were significant(P0.05 or P0.01). High significant differences of conversion rate of T-lymphocytes between groups at 54 and 126 days of ages were also found.Prescription A was better than B and C,among which group 1 showed more obvious effect.The results of repeated experiment were similar to that of the above.
Plant community diversity in Dinghushan Nature Reserve

The species richness, evenness and species diversity of plant communities in Dinghushan Nature Reserve were investigated. The species richness index, species diversity index and the evenness index were compared for different vegetation types. The indices increased with the plant community succession, but the indices of mature forest were not the highest. Generally, the species richness order was that the shrub layerherb layertree layer, the diversity index order is that the shrub layertree layerherb layer and the evenness order is that the tree layershrub layerherb layer. The results are similar when Ⅳ(important value index) or individuals were used to measure community diversity and they are different with the results when the species coverage was used. The diversity indices did not show close relationship with plot area, especially Shannon Winner index, it is stable when the plot area reaches certain size.
Neural gradients are near-lognormal: improved quantized and sparse training

While training can mostly be accelerated by reducing the time needed to propagate neural gradients back throughout the model, most previous works focus on the quantization/pruning of weights and activations. These methods are often not applicable to neural gradients, which have very different statistical properties. Distinguished from weights and activations, we find that the distribution of neural gradients is approximately lognormal. Considering this, we suggest two closed-form analytical methods to reduce the computational and memory burdens of neural gradients. The first method optimizes the floating-point format and scale of the gradients. The second method accurately sets sparsity thresholds for gradient pruning. Each method achieves state-of-the-art results on ImageNet. To the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first to (1) quantize the gradients to 6-bit floating-point formats, or (2) achieve up to 85% gradient sparsity -- in each case without accuracy degradation. Reference implementation accompanies the paper.
A review on C1s XPS-spectra for some kinds of carbon materials

Abstract The surface properties of carbon materials are very important since many complex physical and chemical reactions take place on their surfaces. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) test is one of the most significant characterization methods to analyze the surfaces. The carbon species and banding energies for several typical kinds of carbon materials (graphite, carbon black, graphene, carbon nanotubes, carbides, and polymers) were summarized with typical XPS spectra. It can be found that carbon materials with different preparation methods, analytical methods or storage times possess quite different carbon species and banding energies. Meanwhile, classical XPS figures and analysis results of every carbon material were illustrated, which provides the researchers an intuitive understanding of the related analytical method. Therefore, much more accurate results of XPS spectra for related carbon materials can be obtained.
Consensus tracking of multi-agent systems using constrained neural-optimiser-based sliding mode control

In this paper, an optimal Sliding-Mode Control (SMC) technique based on Projection Recurrent Neural Network (PRNN) is proposed to solve the tracking consensus for the robotic multi-agent system. Based on a connection topology between the leader and agents and relative degree of the system, the sliding surfaces are defined in terms of the error signals. Then, a performance index is defined to realise the exponential reaching law and minimum control effort. By considering the actuator limits, a constrained Quadratic Programming (QP) problem is derived. The solution of the QP is calculated using PRNN, which is developed based on Variational Inequality (VI) problem. The structure of PRNN is composed of a dynamic and an algebraic equation, in which a projection operator acts as an activation function. The convergence analysis of PRNN as a numerical optimiser has been performed using Lyapunov theorem. Moreover, the sufficient conditions are derived for ensuring the robust stability of the closed-loop system. The performance of the proposed algorithm has been investigated by applying it to a robotic multi-agent system and has been compared with an adaptive backstepping SMC.
Macrophage inhibitory factor (MIF) gene polymorphisms are associated with disease susceptibility and with circulating MIF levels in active non‐segmental vitiligo in patients from western Mexico

The macrophage migration inhibiting factor (MIF) is a protein that promotes the activation of immune cells and the production of other proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF‐α, IL‐1β, and IFN‐γ, which have proposed to play an essential role in the pathogenesis of vitiligo. The study aimed to assess the association between MIF polymorphisms (−794 CATT5‐8 and −173 G>C), MIF in situ expression, and MIF serum concentrations with susceptibility and disease activity in patients with non‐segmental vitiligo (NSV) from western Mexico.
Vessels: efficient and scalable deep learning prediction on trusted processors

Deep learning systems on the cloud are increasingly targeted by attacks that attempt to steal sensitive data. Intel SGX has been proven effective to protect the confidentiality and integrity of such data during computation. However, state-of-the-art SGX systems still suffer from substantial performance overhead induced by the limited physical memory of SGX. This limitation significantly undermines the usability of deep learning systems due to their memory-intensive characteristics. In this paper, we provide a systematic study on the inefficiency of the existing SGX systems for deep learning prediction with a focus on their memory usage. Our study has revealed two causes of the inefficiency in the current memory usage paradigm: large memory allocation and low memory reusability. Based on this insight, we present Vessels, a new system that addresses the inefficiency and overcomes the limitation on SGX memory through memory usage optimization techniques. Vessels identifies the memory allocation and usage patterns of a deep learning program through model analysis and creates a trusted execution environment with an optimized memory pool, which minimizes the memory footprint with high memory reusability. Our experiments demonstrate that, by significantly reducing the memory foot-print and carefully scheduling the workloads, Vessels can achieve highly efficient and scalable deep learning prediction while providing strong data confidentiality and integrity with SGX.
