STUDIES ON USING OF SOME EGYPTIAN HERBS AS ANTIOXIDANTS IN PRODUCTION OF BISCUIT [ 8 ]

Day by day increase the importance of using the natural food additives. Hence in this study, the phenolic extracted from basil leaves, spearmint leaves and fennel seeds, as natural antioxidants, were added at concentrations 200, 400 and 600 ppm from fat weight using in biscuit production. Biscuit was stored at room temperature for 8 months. Induction period was measured by Rancimat apparatus. Total phenolic and phenolic acids were determined. Peroxide value, acid value, thiobarbituric acid and refractive index were measured during storage. Antimicrobial activity of phenolic extraction were examined after 8 months. Sensory evaluation was measured directly after baking. The results showed that total phenolic content in basil leaves, spearmint leaves and fennel seeds were 3.97, 1.91 and 1.53 mg/g as caffeic acid equivalents respectively. Five phenolic acids were found in both basil leaves and spearmint leaves, while four phenolic acids were found in fennel seeds as determined by using HPLC. Rancimat results showed that induction period for phenolic herbs could be ranked as follow: basil leaves > spearmint leaves > fennel seeds. The results elucidated that the best concentration from natural additives as antioxidants activity were 400 and 600 ppm compared with BHT. The results revealed that with increasing the concentration of natural antioxidants increased, the more peroxide value, acid value, thiobarbituric acid and refractive index were decreased. Total bacterial count and (yeast & mold) count were decreased with increasing the concentration phenolic additives. Sensory evaluation indicated that addition of different antioxidants showed no significant differences between control and biscuit samples.
Attachment Styles as Moderator Between Stress and Emotional Eating in Adolescent Girls : A Research Proposal

Emotional eating is an important precursor of weight gain and obesity among adolescent girls (Halberstadt et al., 2016). Researchers have defined emotional eating as individuals’ eating behaviors in response to the positive or negative emotions they endure (Bongers & Jansen, 2016). In past studies, stress has been found to be an important indicator of emotional eating in adolescent girls (Corsica, Hood, Katterman, Kleinman, & Ivan, 2014). However, not all girls who experience stress will engage in emotional eating. The stress-diathesis model suggests that certain traits of vulnerability may predispose some individuals towards mental health problems (e.g., eating disorders) in response to stress (MacNeil, Esposito-Smythers, Mehlenbeck, & Weismore, 2012). One of the important traits that may moderate the effect of stress on mental health problems is attachment styles (Chow & Ruhl, 2014). Attachment styles are defined as the internalized mental representations of individuals’ key attachment figures (e.g., mothers; Cooper, Shaver, & Collins, 1998). Attachment styles are measured by the dimensions of anxiety (e.g., fear of being abandoned by others) and avoidance (e.g., fear of being too close to others). Combining the stress-diathesis model and attachment theory, the current study aims to investigate whether adolescent girls’ attachment security within close relationships moderates the link between experiences of stress and emotional eating. Specifically, it is hypothesized that girls who are low in attachment security engage in more emotional eating when under stress. In contrast, it is hypothesized that 1 Taylor: Attachment Styles as Moderator Between Stress and Emotional Eatin Published by DigitalCommons@EMU, 2018 122 girls who are high in attachment security engage in less emotional eating, regardless of their stress levels. To test the hypothesis, data will be drawn from archival data including 100 adolescent girls between 11 and 18 years old. Participants answered questionnaires on stress attachment security to their parents and whether they engaged in emotional eating. Moderation hypothesis will be examined with multiple regression implemented in R.
Understanding U.S. Wage Dynamics, WP/18/138, June 2018

In this paper, we undertake empirical analysis to understand U.S. wage behavior since the beginning of the new millennium. At the macroeconomic level, we find that a productivity-augmented Phillips curve model explains the data fairly well. The model reveals that the upward pressure on wage growth from recent tightening in the labor market has been dampened by a persistent decline in trend labor productivity growth and the share of income that accrues to labor. These themes are reinforced and complemented at the micro-economic level. Lower regional unemployment puts an upward pressure on wages of individuals, although this effect has become weaker since 2008. But there is downward pressure on wages for individuals with occupations that are exposed to automation and offshoring, and in industries with a higher concentration of large firms. All these factors appear to play a role illustrating why it is difficult to single out any one culprit for the observed wage growth moderation.

Vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF )-related polymorphisms rs 10738760 and rs 6921438 are not risk factors for proliferative diabetic retinopathy ( PDR ) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus ( T 2 DM )

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an important regulator of angiogenesis and has been investigated as a candidate gene in a number of conditions, including diabetes and its microvascular complications (e.g., retinopathy and nephropathy). Several VEGF-related polymorphisms have been shown to contribute to nearly half of the variability in circulating VEGF levels in healthy individuals. Our aim was to assess the association between VEGF-related rs10738760 and rs6921438 polymorphisms and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) in Slovenian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We also investigated the effect of these polymorphisms on VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) expression in fibrovascular membranes (FVMs) from patients with PDR. This case-control study enrolled 505 unrelated patients with T2DM: 143 diabetic patients with PDR as a study group, and 362 patients with T2DM of >10 years duration and with no clinical signs of PDR as a control group. Patient clinical and laboratory data were obtained from their medical records. rs10738760 and rs6921438 polymorphisms were genotyped using TaqMan SNP Genotyping assay. VEGFR-2 expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry in 20 FVMs from patients with PDR, and numerical areal density of VEGFR-2-positive cells was calculated. The occurrence of PDR was 1.7 times higher in diabetic patients carrying GA genotype of rs6921438 compared to patients with GG genotype, with a borderline statistical significance (OR = 1.7, 95% CI = 1.00 – 2.86, p = 0.05). In addition, A allele of rs6921438 was associated with increased VEGFR-2 expression in FVMs from PDR patients. However, we observed no association between AA genotype of rs6921438 nor between rs10738760 variants and PDR, indicating that the two polymorphisms are not genetic risk factors for PDR.
The Position of Serbia According to Score of Political Risk

In this paper the impact of political risk on the movement of stock prices in the capital market of the Republic of Serbia is analysed. This is the market with a short history of trading, characterized by a high degree of volatility, with frequent and high jumps in prices. In addition, it is a very narrow and depth lacking market dominated by share trading in that period; the market where the trading in neither treasury, nor corporate bonds was well-developed. All stipulated above indicates a high degree of correlation between the stock price and the current local political events, with the exception of the financial crisis as a global factor. Serbian political shocks are frequent, unpredictable and well defined, which allows us to clearly identify political risk. We have identified the dates/periods when certain jumps in the volatility of the market index return happened, which were then brought into connection with the occurrence of appropriate political news. In that way we were able to quantify the effects of political events on the volatility of return. This is the first paper that deals with the impact of political risk on stock returns in Serbia. Additionally, it is shown that Serbia’s score of political risk in December 2009 was the highest in the Eastern Europe region. In 2015 it is around regional Balkan’s average, and it lies between Albanian and Macedonian score of political risk index.

Entomological study on species composition, behavior, longevity and probability of surviving sporogony of Anopheles mosquitoes in Lare District, Ethiopia

In order to develop efficient malaria vector control strategies, this study was conducted to assess species composition, relative abundance and longevity of Anopheles mosquito malaria vectors in Lare district, south western Ethiopia. For this, Anopheles mosquitoes were collected using CDC light traps catch and pyrethrum spray collection for five months from May to September, 2016. Four kebeles (the smallest administrative unit in Ethiopia, three houses per each kebele) for CDC light trap catches collection and 20 households from each sampled kebeles for pyrethrum spray collection were selected randomly. A total of 2735 Anopheles mosquitoes belonging to four species were collected during the study period. Anopheles gambiae s.l. 1914 (69.9%) was the predominant malaria vector followed by Anopheles pharoensis 602(22%), Anopheles nilli 137(5%) and Anopheles coustani s.l. 82 (3.10%). Significant (p<0.05) variations existed in mean density of mosquitoes per month, but not in mean mosquito density per site (between sampled kebele). The highest mean longevity of A. gambiae s.l. was 9.4 days in July, while probability of surviving sporogony was 0.52 and 0.56 for P. falciparum and P. vivax, respectively. Thus, this study could contribute to the basic understanding of age, distribution and behaviour of anopheles mosquitoes in Lare district for evidence based malaria vector control program. Key word: Anopheline species, longevity, sporogony, plasmodium, Ethiopia.
Simulation and Analysis of Temperature Distribution and Material Properties Change of a Thermal Heat sink Undergoing Thermal Loading in a Mobile Computer

This paper is aimed at studying the thermal distribution and its associated effects on a thermal heat sink of a mobile computer (laptop). Possible thermal effects are investigated using Finite-Element Method with the help of a FEM software (Ansys Workbench 14). Physical changes of the structure such as temperature change and deformation are measured and are used as the basis for comparison between models of heat sinks. This paper also attempts to study the effect of thermal loading on the materials found in a heat sink hardware in terms of stresses that may arise due to physical restraints in the hardware as well as provide an optimized solution to reduce its form factor in order to be comparable to an Ultrabook class heat-sink. An optimized solution is made based on a cylindrical fin concept.
The Impact of Macroeconomic Factors on Saudi Stock Market ( Tadawul ) Prices

Financial markets play a crucial role in the foundation of the stable and efficient financial system of an economy. This research paper identifies the factors affecting the performance of the stock market in Saudi Arabia, known as aggregate (Tadawul), while the index is called Tadawul All Stock Index (TASI). The movements in the stock market can be quite volatile and sometimes movements in share prices can seem divorced from economic factors [1]. However, there are certain underlying factors which have a strong influence over the movement of share prices and the stock market in general. In this paper, we discuss the factors affecting the Saudi stock market, where the main factors have been identified, together with their own sub factors. It can be discerned that generally, shares will be in greater demand when investors have the prospect of earning more dividends. Therefore, factors which make firms more profitable will tend to cause a rise in stock markets.

Market Segmentation and Targeting Based On Artificial Intelligence

Human society is now at the point where everybody is surrounded by an abundance of information. Those information have even become a problem, in terms of correct selection, qualification and potential benefits. The aim of this paper is to show that there are human needs and related opportunities for each web user, in terms of accessing the web site that is tailored to his personal metaprogram needs. This results in shortening the time of finding the "right information" and gives the effect of "relaxed buyer". On the other hand, this marketing concept can transform a mass marketing on the web into a "face to face" selling, on a much more humane, ecologically friendly way, ultimately, reducing marketing costs.
D G ] 1 7 A pr 2 01 4 THE GAP PHENOMENON IN PARABOLIC GEOMETRIES

The infinitesimal symmetry algebra of any Cartan geometry has maximum dimension realized by the flat model, but often this dimension drops significantly when considering non-flat geometries, so a gap phenomenon arises. For general (regular, normal) parabolic geometries of type (G,P ), we use Tanaka theory to derive a universal upper bound on the submaximal symmetry dimension. We use Kostant’s version of the Bott–Borel–Weil theorem to show that this bound is in fact sharp in almost all complex and split-real cases by exhibiting (abstract) models. We explicitly compute all submaximal symmetry dimensions when G is any complex or split-real simple Lie group.
THE ABDUS SALAM INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR THEORETICAL PHYSICS NANOELECTRONICS: THE PERSPECTIVE IN MICROELECTRONICS

The present survey briefly presents the-state-of-the-art in microelectronics, invokes physical considerations in estimating the intrinsic limits of present microelectronic devices, and highlights the future trends in the perspectives of the incoming nanoscale technologies. In order to design artificial systems with molecular precision, molecular brand new engineering methods must be developed, that is, to hold, position, and assemble nanoscale parts in compliance with the laws of physics. In the framework of the nanoscale technologies, the thermodynamically reversible single electron switching systems are considered as ultimate evolutionary end point of electronic logic devices built up at molecular level.
β-Lactamases a Inhibitors in the

The β-lactams retain a central place in the antibacterial armamentarium. InGram-negative bacteria, β-lactamase enzymes that hydrolyze the amide bond of the four-membered β-lactam ring are the primary resistance mechanism, with multiple enzymes disseminating on mobile genetic elements across opportunistic pathogens such as Enterobacteriaceae (e.g., Escherichia coli) and non-fermenting organisms (e.g., Pseudomonas aeruginosa). β-Lactamases divide into four classes; the active-site serine β-lactamases (classes A,C andD) and the zinc-dependent or metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs; class B). Here we review recent advances in mechanistic understanding of each class, focusing upon how growing numbers of crystal structures, in particular for β-lactam complexes, and methods such as neutron diffraction and molecular simulations, have improved understanding of the biochemistry of β-lactam breakdown. A second focus is β-lactamase interactions with carbapenems, as carbapenem-resistant bacteria are of grave clinical concern and carbapenem-hydrolyzing enzymes such as KPC (class A) NDM (class B) and OXA-48 (class D) are proliferating worldwide. An overview is provided of the changing landscape of β-lactamase inhibitors, exemplified by the introduction to the clinic of combinations of β-lactams with diazabicyclooctanone and cyclic boronate serine β-lactamase inhibitors, and of progress and strategies toward clinically useful MBL inhibitors. Despite the long history of β-lactamase research, we contend that issues including continuing unresolved questions around mechanism; opportunities afforded by new technologies such as serial femtosecond crystallography; the need for new inhibitors, particularly for MBLs; the likely impact of new β-lactam:inhibitor combinations and the continuing clinical importance of β-lactams mean that this remains a rewarding research area. © 2019 The Authors.

Vocalisation is used by frogs to attract females and to establish spaces. Evaluation of variation of the call is necessary for investigating the social and ecological role of the species. In addition, call patterns are influenced by body mass and snoutvent length. In this study we analysed the call pattern of Pristimantis ramagii, to verify types of call variation of interand intra-individual patterns, and its relationship with body mass and SVL. The study was carried out in a protected area in Belo Jardim, 240 calls were registered (advertisement calls and territorial calls). Advertisement calls had 2:55 ± 0.69 notes / call, lasting 0.151 ± 0.052 seconds, while the territorial call had 0.516 ± 0.111 seconds. Note duration and number of pulses is presented as dynamic properties, while duration and dominant frequency are intermediate properties. Dominant frequency was significantly correlated with body mass and SVL, while call duration was only related to the SVL. We observed that the variety in advertisement calls is higher between individuals than between calls of the same individual. Furthermore, calls may be influenced by environmental factors rather than by their morphology. In complex calls, dynamic variation is expected in the amount and intensity of notes in relation to the time period.
MITOTIC ACTIVITY , P 53 AND BCL-2 PROTEIN IMMUNOREACTIVITY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MORPHOLOGICAL VARIANTS AND SUBTYPES OF DIFFUSE LARGE B CELL LYMPHOMA

In this retrospective study, we examined the pathologic material which were diagnosed as non-Hodkin lymphoma (NHL) from January 1995 to December 2001 in our pathology department. Among these lymphomas, 123 cases were diagnosed as DLBCL. Of 123 cases, we were able to analyze the morphological variants and subtype, mitotic activity and the expression of p53 and bcl-2 proteins in only 53 cases of which in 31 cases clinical data were available. We examined the relation of aforementioned parameters and survival of these 31 cases.
(IN-)PRIVACY IN MOBILE APPS. CUSTOMER OPPORTUNITIES

Subject of Study. The paper presents the results of an investigation of cross-platform mobile applications. This paper focuses on a cross-platform app data investigation in purpose of creating a database that helps to make decisions from data privacy viewpoint. These decisions refer to knowledge about mobile apps that are available to the public, especially on how consumer data is protected while it is stored locally or transferred via network as well as what type of data may leak. Methods. This paper proposes a forensics methodology as a cornerstone of an app data investigation process. The object of research is an application data protection under different security control types among modern mobile OS. The subject of research is a modification of forensics approach and behavioral analysis to examine application data privacy in order to find data that are not properly handled by applications which lead to data leakages, defining protection control type without forensics limits. In addition, this paper relies on using the simplest tools, proposing a limit to examine locally stored data and transmitted over the network to cover all data, excluding memory and code analysis unless it is valuable (behavioral analysis). The research methods of the tasks set in the paper include digital forensics approach methods depending on data conception (at-rest, in-use/memory, in-transit) with behavioral analysis of application, and static and dynamic application code analysis. Main Results. The research was carried out for the scope of that thesis, and the following scientific results were obtained. First, the methods used to investigate the privacy of application data allow considering application features and protection code design and flaws in the context of incomplete user awareness about the privacy state due to external activity of the developer. Second, the knowledge set about facts of application data protection that allows making a knowledge database to implement the missing privacy and security protection control and provide the privacy requirements (keeping the users informed about possibility to avoid untrusted usage cases). Practical Relevance. Practical relevance of the received results is the following: first, the set of knowledge facts about each examined application to privacy score per application, per application category (IM, travel, etc.), per OS, etc; second, the developed method under the forensics approach can be used to carry out analysis of the application data privacy in relation to the specified requirements including audit, reconfiguring EMM application policies and reasons for their commissioning.
