The prototype of A Forklift Robot Based on AGV System and Android Wireless Controlled for Stacked Shelves

The paper aims to build a prototype of an automatic forklift robot that can collect and place goods in the stacking shelves, that are monitored remotely using an Android-based device. The method used is AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) on this forklift robot prototype to adjust its positions, by following a line that preset trajectory for stacking shelf positions, where this forklift robot can collect and place goods. The robot navigation system uses a photodiode for the line follower system, and for storage of goods, it uses the proximity sensors detecting the presence of goods on miniature stacking goods and decide where it can store a good or not on that designated cell of the stacking shelf. The miniature of stacking shelves is two by three cells. The control of the robot has two input controllers. One is on a robot itself. The other was on handheld based on Android operating systems, which control remotely using the wireless system with Bluetooth protocol. The results of the discussion on paper, the forklift robot could manage the task given as the predefined line to a followed parameter of stacking shelves with two by three-stack configuration for collect and place goods into their positions, the average time for the robot to collecting and placing goods on stacking from standing still position to stacking shelf then back to the robot origin position. It resulted in the shortest processing time around 43 seconds and the longest time around 45,3 seconds from the start position to stacking shelf position.
ASSESSMENT OF NUTRIENT ADEQUACY OF ADULT RESIDENTS IN CHINA

Objective To estimate the usual nutrients intake distributions of adults in China by Iowa State University,ISU) method in order to assess the prevalence of inadequate or excessive nutrients intakes with the Dietary Reference Intakes as reference values.Method The data of China National Nutrition and Health Survey in 2002 were used for analysis.After estimating the usual nutrients intake distributions of carbohydrate,protein,fat,calcium,iron,zinc,selenium,magnesium,thiamine and riboflavin by ISU method among 43 672 adults,the estimated average requirements(EAR) were used as cutoff points for verifying the proportion of individuals having inadequate nutrients intake.The usual intakes of macronutrients outside the acceptable macronutrient distibution ranges(AMDR) meant a major imbalance in energy intakes.Results The proportion of the intakes of energy from carbohydrate and protein below the lowest standard of adequate intake(AI) or AMDRs was about 40% and 20% respectively.The proportion of fat energy ratio that was higher than the upper limit of AI was around 50%. We found high prevalence rates of calcium,zinc,selenium,magnesium,thiamine and riboflavin inadequacies in adults,among which calcium inadequacy reached above 95%,and those of thiamine and riboflavin inadequacies reached above 80%. Conclusion The energy ratio of macronutrients was imbalanced among Chinese adults,and the dietary calcium,zinc,selenium,magnesium,thiamine and riboflavin inadequacies were prevalent.
Meteorite Impact "Earthquake" Features (Rock Liquefaction, Surface Wave Deformations, Seismites) from Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Geoelectric Complex Resistivity/Induced Polarization (IP) Measurements, Chiemgau (Alpine Foreland, Southeast Germany)

/ Beside the strong impact shock surface waves are considered the most effective process to have caused the strong and frequently wavy deformations, because in an impact event the seismic source is located close to the earth's surface. The contribution of Rayleigh and Love waves may have been complex, but the theoretically required lowvelocity layer over a high-velocity halfspace to let Love waves propagate seems to have ideally been fulflled with a water table in the soft sediments at roughly 10 m depth.

COLOUR DOPPLER ULTRASOUND EVALUATION IN DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS IN LOWER EXTREMITIES

Introduction: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and its sequel, pulmonary embolism, is a signicant clinical problem. Ultrasound is primary, non invasive, cheap, easily available modality for localization and characterization of the thrombus. Aim: To evaluate the role of Color Doppler ultrasound as an imaging modality in diagnosing DVT of lower limbs. Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted on 50 patients with clinically suspected DVT of lower extremities, referred for Color venous doppler ultrasound imaging. In the patients with positive ndings, venous segment involved and the appearance of thrombus was noted. Results: Out of 50 clinically suspected patients, out of 38 patients positive for DVT, >50% were of > 40 years of age with male predominance (55%). Main risk factors for DVT were post surgery (30%), post trauma (22%) and hypercoagulable state (pregnancy, OCPs) (16%). Thrombus was seen in 10% of external iliac vein, 22% of common femoral vein, 26% of supercial femoral veins, 23% of popliteal vein and 19% of tibial venous segments. In this study, the percentage of acute, subacute and chronic DVT was 8%, 86.8%, 5.2% respectively. Out of these,14% of veins showed partial occlusion and 86% showed complete occlusion of venous segments. Conclusion: Color venous Doppler ultrasound was useful in diagnosing DVT in clinically suspected patients. In this study, Supercial femoral vein and Popliteal veins were most commonly involved. Subacute thrombus was most common type of thrombus found.
NADPH oxidase family and vascular remodeling in hypertension

The development and complications of essential hypertension (EH) are closely related to vascular remodeling. The types, characteristics and mechanisms of vascular remodeling in the process of hypertension development have attract extensive attention. The mechanism of vascular remodeling in EH is not fully understood. Recent studies suggest that reative oxygen species plays an important role in the development of vascular remodeling. NADPH oxidase is a major enzyme in generation of reactive oxygen species in vivo. Previous studies have shown that the NADPH oxidase-derived oxygen species plays an important role in the occurrence and development of vascular remodeling in hypertension. In this paper, we review the role and mechanism of NADPH oxidase in vascular remodeling in hypertension.

MATING SYSTEM EVOLUTION, RESOURCE ALLOCATION, AND GENETIC DIVERSITY IN PLANTS

Two basic forces affect the evolution of plant mating systems. Selfing will be favored if it increases seed set when pollen is limiting (reproductive assurance) or increases siring success when pollen devoted to selfing is more likely to accomplish fertilization than pollen devoted to outcrossing (automatic selection advantage). Experimental and observational studies, however, have yet to identify more precisely the set of ecological conditions under which either of those advantages can be expressed. Pollen discounting reduces a selfers' success as an outcross pollen parent, i.e. lowering automatic selection advantage, and inbreeding depression is expected to reduce any advantage selfers might gain through reproductive assurance or automatic selection. Changes in a species' mating system are likely to induce evolutionary adjustments in its resource allocation. Theory predicts that sex allocation, or the proportion of reproductive resources allocated to male function in hermaphroditic plants, decreases as the selfing rate increases, and that total reproductive allocation increases with increased selfing if inbreeding depression is not so severe as to prevent the evolution of self-fertilization. In some extreme conditions, increased selfing may lead to severe change in life history, i.e. from perenniality to annuality. Sex allocation theory provides a general explanation for diversity in breeding systems, in particular, it explains why most flowering plants are hermaphroditic. While empirical evidence is abundant that supports the expected decrease in sex allocation as selfing rate increases, there has been no demonstration of the expected correlation between mating system and total reproductive effort. Selfing tends both to reduce the level of genetic variability within populations and to increase the amount of genetic differentiation among populations. A longtime conjecture that selfers may give up some long-term evolutionary flexibility has now been partially confirmed.
Previous growing season climate controls the occurrence of black spruce growth anomalies in boreal forests of Eastern Canada

To better understand climatic origins of annual tree-growth anomalies in boreal forests, we analysed 895 black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.) tree-growth series from 46 xeric sites situated along three latitudinal transects in Eastern Canada. We identified interannual (based on comparison with previous year growth) and multidecadal (based on the entire tree-ring width distribution) growth anomalies between 1901 and 2001 at site and transect levels. Growth anomalies occurred mainly at site level and seldom at larger spatial scales. Both positive interannual and multidecadal growth anomalies were strongly associated with below-average temperatures and above-average precipitation during the previous growing season (Junet–1 – Augustt–1). The climatic signature of negative interannual and multidecadal growth anomalies was more complex and mainly associated with current-year climatic anomalies. Between the early and late 20th century, only negative multidecadal anomalies became more frequent. Our results.
Phylogenetic Tree Construction Using K-Mer Forest- Based Distance Calculation

Phylogenetics is one of the dominant data engineering research disciplines based on biological information. More particularly here, we consider raw DNA sequences and do comparative analysis in order to come up with important conclusions. When representing evolutionary relationships among different organisms in a concise manner, the phylogenetic tree helps significantly. When constructing phylogenetic trees, the elementary step is to calculate the genetic distance among species. Alignment-based sequencing and alignment-free sequencing are the two main distance computation methods that are used to find genetic relatedness of different species. In this paper we propose a novel alignment-free, pairwise, distance calculation method based on k-mers and a state of art machine learning-based phylogenetic tree construction mechanism. With the proposed approach we can convert longer DNA sequences into compendious k-mer forests which gear up the efficiency of comparison. Later we construct the phylogenetic tree based on calculated distances with the help of an algorithm build upon k-medoid clustering, which guaranteed significant efficiency and accuracy compared to traditional phylogenetic tree construction methods.
The control effect of ethanol extract of Mikania micrantha H.B.K. on the natural population of Empoasca vitis (Gothe) and the influence to spiders

This study showed that spraying Mikania micrantha ethanol extracts 4 gDW/100mL,2 gDW/100mL,1 gDW/100mL,0.3%Azadirachtin EC 1000× and 10%Imidacloprid·Fenobucarb EC 500× on Empoasca vitis could significantly decrease the interference index of populations control(IIPC),which were all less than 1.The best control effect attributes to M.micrantha 4 gDW/100mL,its IIPC was only 0.2392;0.3%Azadirachtin EC 1000× as a second,whose IIPC was 0.2787. Field investigation showed that,as compared with the control here,the number of spiders was no significant difference among the treatments of 3 different concentrations of M.micrantha ethanol extracts and 0.3%Azadirachtin EC 1000×,but there was significant difference between the treatment of 10%Imidacloprid·Fenobucarb EC 500× and any other treatment.After treated by M.micrantha 4 gDW/100mL in laboratory,the number of predation was no significant difference between the two advantaged natural enemies Argyrodes sp.and Dipoenura cyclosides with the treatment of 2% ethanol control,which suggested M.micrantha ethanol extracts were quite safety to its natural enemies.
Isolation of Mangrove Actinomycetes and Their Antagonistic Activities

163 actinomycetes strains were isolated from mangrove sediments in Zhangzhou, Fujian, China. Five indicator strains (Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Rhizoctonia solani) and three tumor cells (BEL7402, A549 and HL60) were used to test the anti-microbial and anti-tumor activities of the isolated strains. 42.3% of the fermentation broth of the actinomycetes showed antimicrobial activities, while 37.4% of the fermentation broth of actinomycetes possessed anti-tumor activities. 16S rDNA sequence analysis of the actinomycetes strains showed that they belong to Streptomyces (89%), Micromo-nospora (6.1%), Sacharomonospora(0.6%), Actinomadura (3.7%) and Nocardiopsis(0.6%). Three isolates were suggested as novel species of Streptomyces based on their 16S rDNA sequences. The highest 16S rDNA similarity could be found in each blast search and it was lower than 97%.
The effect of apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype and long chain omega 3 fatty acids on body weight and inflammation

Obesity-associated adipose tissue (AT) inflammation is characterised by macrophage (ATM) infiltration and polarisation from anti-inflammatory (M2) towards pro-inflammatory (M1) phenotype. Long chain (LC) n-3 PUFA, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), exert various beneficial effects on inflammatory and metabolic parameters in relation to obesity. The apolipoprotein Epsilon 4 (APOE4) genotype is associated with a pro-inflammatory state, lower adiposity yet greater metabolic dysfunction in obesity and an altered LC n-3 PUFA status compared to APOE3 genotype. This PhD project aimed to investigate the relationships between APOE genotype, adiposity, LC n-3 PUFA status and inflammation. In an existing data set of 312 participants involved in a fish oil intervention trial [Caslake et al., 2008, Kofler et al., 2012] we demonstrated that age, BMI and habitual oily fish intake, but not APOE Epsilon genotype, determined plasma LC n-3 PUFA status. APOE Epsilon genotype interacted with -219G/T polymorphism (rs405509) to determine plasma apoE and select inflammatory marker concentrations. In human APOE targeted replacement (TR) mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) without or with 30 g EPA+DHA / kg of diet (HFD+FO) for 8 weeks, APOE3, but not APOE4, mice develop obesity and impaired glucose tolerance upon HFD feeding that is prevented by dietary fish oil. ATM infiltration and phenotype was similar between APOE3 and APOE4 mice. Fish oil increased the number of ATM without influencing their phenotype. LC n-3 PUFA enrichment of AT was similar, although EPA and DHA levels tended to be 10 – 20% lower in APOE4 mice compared to APOE3 mice on HFD+FO. In primary murine bone marrow-derived macrophages the APOE4 genotype was associated with higher prevalence of the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype compared to APOE3 genotype. In conclusion, our findings contribute to the current understanding of the potential mechanisms through which the APOE Epsilon genotype modulates adiposity and its metabolic impact.
Multiwalled carbon nanotubes: the thicker, the softer

Size matters for the mechanics of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). It has been known for some time that MWCNTs often wrinkle under deformation exhibiting the so-called rippling deformation pattern, which makes MWCNTs much softer. Through large-scale multiscale simulations [1-3] we have characterized with a power law the softer wrinkled response, and showed that the transition strain between the super-stiff behaviour attributed to MWCNTs and this softer regime scales as the inverse of the tube diameter [4]. Thus, the tera Pascal Young’s modulus can be fully exploited in devices and materials with for moderately sized MWCNTs or tubes subject to moderate deformations. Similarly, in interpreting experiments or designing devices, the classical Euler-Bernouilli beam theory can only be applied to such tubes.

The proposed adder schemes with full swing basic cells achieve significant savings in terms of delay and energy consumption and which are more than 41% and 32% respectively in comparison to conventional “C-CMOS” 1-bit full adder and other existing adders.
Effect of Dietary Enzymes Supplementation on Performance of Broilers

The influence of dietary supplementation of enzymes on performance of commercial broilers (l-42d age) was studied in two experiments. In experiment 1, efficacy of 8 commercial enzymes and in experiment 2, two commercial enzymes and two formulated enzyme preparations were evaluated in broilers fed corn-soy diet. The performance was evaluated in terms of body weight gain, feed intake, feed/gain, livability and dressing yield. None of the enzyme preparations tested improved the performance of broilers.
The role of endothelium of blood-brain barrier and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 in the course of ischemic cerebral edema in rats

Objective To study the relationship of the changes of endothelium, the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and the permeability of blood-brain barrier(BBB) during the pathologic course in ischemic cerebral edema. Methods Electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry were used to observe the ultrastructural changes of endothelial cells of BBB, the expression of ICAM-1 on endothelial cells and the permeability to lanthanum (La3+) in rat brain following permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (PMCAO). Results It was found that there was no ICAM-1 expression on the endothelial cells of BBB in the ischemic hemispheres at 1 h in the SD rats following PMCAO. Meanwhile we found light swelling in the endothelial cells. At 3 h, ICAM-1 started to express, brain edema was observed in the ischemic areas, BBB endothelial cells were swelling. At 12 h, the expression of ICAM-1 reached its maximum, the brain edema became remarkable. The BBB endothelial cells, neurons and glial cells were all swelling, and La3+ was found in pinocytotic vesivles and tight junctions of endothelial cells of BBB in the ischemic areas. At 72 h, tha expression of ICAM-1 was not remarkable. But brain edema was still serious, the BBB endothelium was damaged, and La3+ emerged in the extracellular spaces through BBB. Conclusion The expreesion of ICAM-1 on the endothelial cells had a relevant relationship with the rupture of BBB following cerebral ischemia, suggesting that ICAM-1 played an important role in the pathological course of the ischemic cerebral edema.
Prediction of Animal Toxins Using Amino Acid Composition and Support Vector Machine

Animal toxins have a very important application in basic research.So,it is very important to predict them by using a computer method.Based on the 2-peptide components of local amino acid sequence,a novel ID-SVM algorithm combined increment of diversity(ID) with support vector machines(SVM) is proposed to predict animal toxins with different sequence identities.In order to estimate the effectiveness of this new algorithm,the bacterial toxin and non-toxin datasets generated by Saha and Raghava are also predicted.The higher predictive success rates than the previous algorithms are obtained by the ID-SVM algorithm.
Phytochemical Screening and Antibacterial Activities of Hibiscus sabdariffa L. Leaf Extracts

The phytochemical properties and the antibacterial potency of rosselle ( Hibiscus sabdariffa L) leaf extracts were evaluated using the cold maceration method, agar diffusion method and qualitative phytochemical analysis respectively. The methanolic extract was tested against Salmonella typhi , Escherichia coli and Staphyolococcus aureus . The phytochemical analysis results showed the presence of tannins, flavonoids, saponins and steroids in the methanolic extract of the leaves of Hibiscus sabdariffa L. The mean zones of inhibition of the methanolic leaf extracts showed that Hibiscus sabdariffa L exhibited more antibacterial activity against Staphylococucus aureus compared to other test organisms. Further studies are required to assess the toxicity of the extract.
Stratigraphic biases in the analysis of taxonomic survivorship

Taxonomic survivorship curves may reflect stratigraphic as well as biologic factors. The approximately lognormal distribution of lengths of Phanerozoic time intervals produces an error in the estimation of taxonomic durations that is also lognormally distributed. As demonstrated by several simulated examples, this error may cause concave taxonomic survivorship curves to appear linear, especially if the maximum durations involved are relatively short. The error of estimation also makes highly concave taxonomic survivorship curves virtually unrecognizable. Incomplete sampling of the fossil record, on the other hand, may not be a serious problem in survivorship analysis. Simulated paleontological sampling employing a simple model suggests that survivorship curves tend to retain their original shapes even when as few as 20% of the taxa have been discovered. However, concave taxonomic survivorship curves tend to lose their concavity as efficiency of sampling declines.
