The Effect of Different Rations on Some Rumen Fluid and Blood Parameters in Sheep

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different combinations of energy (barley and dried molassed sugar beet pulp (DMSBP)) and protein sources (soybean meal (SBM), cotton-seed meal (CSM), SBM-treated with formaldehyde (FTSBM), CSM-treated with formaldehyde (FTCSM), and urea) on some rumen fluid and blood parameters. In this study, four rumen fistulated Morkaraman rams were used. Rumen pH values were around the optimal pH values suggested for rumen fluid (5.2-7.3) at all sampling times. Ruminal NH3-N concentrations were significantly greater (P < 0.05) in animals fed DMSBP as an energy source compared with animals fed barley as an energy source and were between 10.4 and 32.75 mg/100 ml in all groups. Formaldehyde treatments of protein sources reduced ruminal NH3-N concentrations in animals fed DSBP as an energy source (P < 0.05). Acetic and propionic acid concentrations were affected by the energy source, although butyric acid concentrations were significantly higher in animals fed groups containing barley than in animals fed groups containing DMSBP. Formaldehyde treatment did not affect propionic acid concentrations, although propionic acid concentrations were generally significantly higher (P < 0.05) in animals fed barley + SBM combinations compared to treatments containing both SBM and CSM combinations (P < 0.05). Serum total protein concentrations were affected by the energy source and these were higher in groups containing DMSBP than in groups containing barley (P < 0.05). However, serum urea-N concentrations were similar among the different diets.

Information and communication technology in the rehabilitation of hearing-impaired children

Summary This paper deals with the use of information and communication technology in the development of phonological awareness in children with hearing impairment. The research was conducted at Polyclinic for the Rehabilitation of Listening and Speech (SUVAG). The Glaskalica app on a tablet device has been used to compare the phonological awareness test results that are obtained by using the paper-pencil method and through information and communication technology. There were 10 participants aged 6 to 8 years (four girls and six boys). The results show that ICT is interesting and motivating to children and has the potential to improve phonological awareness skills.
The Arabidopsis thaliana Cyclic-Nucleotide-Dependent Response – a Quantitative Proteomic and Phosphoproteomic Analysis

A number of studies have shown that functionally related genes are often co-expressed and that computational based co-expression analysis can be used to accurately identify functional relationships between genes and by inference, their encoded proteins. Here we describe how a computational based co-expression analysis can be used to link the function of a speci fi c gene of interest to a de fi ned cellular response. Using a worked example we demonstrate how this methodology is used to link the function of the Arabidopsis Wall-Associated Kinase Like 10 gene, which encodes a functional guanylyl cyclase, to host responses to pathogens.

Cranial anatomy and systematics of Hypacrosaurus altispinus, and a comparative analysis of skull growth in lambeosaurine hadrosaurids (Dinosauria: Ornithischia)

The cranial anatomy of the helmet-crested lambeosaurine Hypacrosaurus altispinus (Ornithischia: Hadrosauridae) is described, with a focus on ontogenetic and individual variation in phylogenetically significant characters of the cranial crest, braincase, and facial skeleton. Cranial material of H. altispinus represents a relatively complete growth series that includes crestless juveniles of less than half the size of large individuals with fully developed crests. Cranial ontogeny is compared with other lambeosaurines using bivariate morphometrics and through qualitative comparison of a size-standardized cranial growth series. Bivariate analyses reveal that the relative growth of the skull and cranial crest of H. altispinus and H. stebingeri are similar, and that Hypacrosaurus more closely resembles Corythosaurus than Lambeosaurus. Hypacrosaurus altispinus is systematically revised. The taxon is characterized by five autapomorphies, most of which are concentrated in the skull, as well as an enlarged terminal ischial foot. Maximum parsimony and Bayesian likelihood (Mk+gamma) phylogenetic analyses were conducted to test the monophyly of the genus. Hypacrosaurus monophyly is corroborated in light of new anatomical data. Although H. stebingeri and H. altispinus share few derived characters of the skull, the hypothesis that H. stebingeri is a metaspecies that represents the ancestor of H. altispinus cannot be rejected. © 2010 The Linnean Society of London, Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2010, 159, 398–434.

Eco-friendly and reusable solid acid catalysts (SCMNPs@PC/VB 1 -Zn) were identified as one of the most effective basic catalysts for the composition of a pot, three-component pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles. Methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-5(4H)-one, benzaldehyde and malononitrile in high yield at 80 °C. SCMNPs@ PC/VB 1 -Zn reports the simple and efficient catalysis of a three-component pot reaction of dimedone, aldehydes, and malononitrile to 4H-benzo-[b]-pyran derivatives. This magnetic nanocatalyst can be recycled more than 6 times without dramatically reducing performance with respect to reaction time and efficiency. Copyright © 2020 BCREC Group. All rights reserved
A 12-Bit 200 MS/s Pipelined-SAR ADC Using Back-Ground Calibration for Inter-Stage Gain

A 12-bit 200 MS/s pipelined successive-approximation-register (SAR) analogue-to-digital-converter (ADC) implemented in 40 nm CMOS is presented. Such an ADC consists of two asynchronous SAR ADCs and a dynamic amplifier, which consumes a static power of 1.2 mW (the total power is 8 mW) and occupies an area of 0.046 mm2. The inter-stage gain is affected by the parasitic capacitance in SAR ADCs as well as the gain of the dynamic amplifier, which is variable with respect to process-voltage-temperature (PVT). A background calibration of the inter-stage gain is proposed to adjust the inter-stage gain and to track the PVT variables. The measurement results show that, with calibration, the spurious-free-dynamic-range (SFDR) and signal-to-noise-and-distortion-ratio (SINAD) can be improved from 68 dB and 61 dB to 78 dB and 63 dB, respectively. The dynamic performance was stable under different VT conditions.
Isolation of non-pathogenic Agrobacterium spp. biovar 1 from agricultural soils in Slovenia

The disease crown gall, which causes damage on perennial agricultural crops, is economically important in many countries. We therefore explored the presence of Agrobacterium spp. in a variety of agricultural soils where fruit trees are grown. Most samples were collected in four regions of Slovenia where a majority of fruit tree plantations are situated. Crown gall-affected plants were not observed on any of the sampling sites. Members of Agrobacterium spp. biovar 1 were isolated from 63 of the 72 soil samples (88%), but none from forest soil. All isolates of this Agrobacterium species complex were determined to be non-pathogenic by biotests and were assigned to genomic species based on a recA allele sequence analysis. Fourty-three isolates were allocated into genomic species G1 and 26 isolates into G4. Among both genomic species, new alleles of the rec A gene were recognized: seven new alleles in G1 (denominated G1-15 to G1-21) and four in G4 (G4-7 to G4-10). Two alleles predominated among the Slovenian strains, rec A-G1-15 and rec A-G4-2. Different colony morphologies were observed between strains of G1 and G4 on KB medium.
THE OPTIMIZATION OF RP-HPLC CONDITION USING RESPONSE SURFACE METHODOLOGY BOX-BEHNKEN DESIGN FOR SIMULTANEOUS DETERMINATION OF METFORMIN HCL AND GLIMEPIRIDE IN SPIKED PLASMA

Objective: Aim of this study was to develop and validate the RP-HPLC method using Box-Behnken Design (BBD) for simultaneous analysis metformin HCl and glimepiride in spiked plasma. Methods: The chromatographic system was comprised of acetonitrile-phosphate buffer 0.0125 M+Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS) 1 mmol as a mobile phase and Ascentis® Phenyl C18 (250 x 4.6 mm i.d.; 5 µm) column as a stationary phase with UV detector at 210 nm. Three independent variables included phosphate buffer (%), pH and flow rate were optimized using Box-Behnken Design. The observed responses were retention time, peak area and resolution. Results: The predicted optimum condition of the RP-HPLC system consisted of phosphate buffer solution of 72%, pH at 4.3 and flow rate at 0.8 ml/min. By using this condition, the duration of analysis was more than 18 min, so it was necessary to modify the flow rate to be 1.0 ml/min to get shorter analysis duration. This condition was then applied to analyze metformin and glimepiride in spiked plasma and validated according to the EMA guideline. AUC of interfering components at the IS retention time between 588-1092 mV, the linearity of metformin was 0.9993 and glimepiride was 0.9991, accuracy and precision were between-13.33% until 16.08%, dilution integrity and metformin stability studies were between-4.01% until 11.82%, and for glimepiride stability studies were between-37.48% until-4.76%. Conclusion: Box-Behnken Design can help optimize the HPLC system, and the optimum condition was valid to analyze metformin and glimepiride in spiked plasma by considering the storage time of plasma samples.

Fetal Instrumental Extractions at the Maternity Section of the Dakar Nabil Choucair Health Centre (Senegal) in 2017: Epidemio-Clinical Aspects, Indications and Prognosis

Introduction: An instrumental extraction is performed in order to shorten the phase of expulsion of the fetus outside the maternal pelvic pathway, when there is a suspected fetal state or a defect in progression of the fetal mobile. It can be responsible for immediate or late maternal complications, which are not specific because they can occur after a normal delivery. The objectives of this work are to describe the epidemiological-clinical and prognosis aspects of deliveries assisted by instrumental extractions in a reference maternity unit in Dakar. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective, descriptive and analytical study between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017, a period of 12 months at the maternity ward of the Nabil Choucair Health Center. The collection was carried out using the survey form completed on the basis of the analysis of the files, the delivery register and the anaesthesia register of the operating room. The parameters studied were about socio-demographic characteristics, indications and prognosis. The data entry was carried out using the Sphinx version 5 software and the data analysis using the Epi info version 3.5 software. Results: During the period of our study, we collected 94 instrumental extractions. The frequency of instrumental extractions was 1.7%. The average age of the patients was 25 years with extremes of 16 to 43 years old. The average parity was 1 with extremes 1 to 6. Among parturient women, 12 patients (12.8%) had a history of suction cup, two (2.1%) had received forceps and three (3.2%) had a cesarean section. The average gestational age was 39 Weeks of Amenorrhea (WA), the average uterine height was 32 cm, fetal heart sounds were normal in 98% parturient’ cases. The vaginal touch had found a fully dilated cervix, a rupture of the amniotic sac with clear amniotic fluid in 98% of parturient women and a fetus with an anterior left iliac occipito topin 69.4% of cases. The pelvis was clinically normal in all parturient women. The indications were dominated by maternal fatigue (65.9%). The spatula was the most commonly used instrument (82.7%). Episiotomy was performed in 97.3% of cases. The average weight of the newborn was 3058 grams and an Apgar score of 8/10 was noted in 96% of newborns. We noted 3 cases of maternal complications with perineal tear type (3.2%) and 1 case of perineal tear associated with postpartum hemorrhage (1.06%). The neonatal prognosis was dominated by 2 caput succedaneum cases (2.1%). Newborns were alive and well in 97.8%. We noted 2 cases of death, i.e. 2.1% in unsolved circumstances. All the mothers were alive and well at (100%). Conclusion: Instrumental extractions must be integrated into our structures to significantly reduce the number of abusive cesarean sections. The perfect mastery of extraction techniques and indications makes it possible to reduce fetal suffering while avoiding the morbidity associated with instrumental extractions.
A model of optimal life history and diel vertical migration in Calanus finmarchicus

Abstract A copepod in a seasonal environment continuously faces the trade-offs among allocating surplus growth to a storage compartment (lipids), to somatic growth or to reproduction. By building up lipids, it can survive periods with low food, and gain reproductive success the following season by transforming fat to eggs. Also, copepods face a trade-off between survival and growth, as surface waters generally are more risky and productive than the dark refuges at greater depths, both in the diel and annual temporal scale. Implicit in these trade-offs are the numbers of generations, population dynamics and productive potential of the copepod. The authors develop a model which is used to investigate (1) how optimal diel arid ontogenetic vertical migration might vary with season, individual state (size and lipid reserves) and growth conditions; (2) whether fat is mainly used for overwintering or for fueling reproduction in early spring; and (3) the adaptive value of behavioural flexibility in migration patt.
SAR Target Recognition Based on Probabilistic Meta-Learning

Numerous synthetic aperture radar-automatic target recognition (SAR-ATR) methods require a large amount of training data. However, collecting SAR data is both expensive and complicated in practical applications. Recognition with the limited training data has become a vital issue in SAR-ATR. To solve this problem, we propose a recognition model combining probabilistic inference with meta-learning to transfer prior knowledge from simulated to real SAR data. First, we use various recognition tasks drawn from the simulated data to learn the global parameters of the model. Second, we draw new tasks from the real data and use the amortized inference to model a posterior distribution over task-specific parameters. Finally, we produce a predictive distribution indicating the confidence of the target classes. The experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the model in recognition tasks with a small amount of training data. We also show that introducing probabilistic inference can improve the prediction accuracy and prediction uncertainty of the model.
Research on the Method of Context Modeling Based on Ontology —— a Case Study of Tea Sales

With the raise of the Belt and Road strategy and the development of ubiquitous computing, the cross-platform context data coming from the wireless network,mobile computing and sensor network is increasing rapidly. How to shield the distribution and heterogeneity of context information so that users and their context information can be understood by computers has become a hot topic in current research. This paper takes tea sales as the research object. By building an ontology-based context model, this paper explores the effectiveness of the modeling method in solving semantic interaction and information fusion, and then promotes the organic integration of cross-platform and cross-industry scenario information in the new era .
REHABILITACIÓN DE ALGUNAS PROPIEDADES QUÍMICAS DE LOS SUELOS Y DEL BOSQUE DE NIEBLA EN VERACRUZ, MÉXICO CON ENSAMBLES EXPERIMENTALES DE LEÑOSAS NATIVAS Y Casuarina equisetifolia L, Amoen

En la rehabilitacion de un sitio muy degradado donde antes hubo bosque nublado, se exploro el efecto de ensambles experimentales de especies lenosas en algunas propiedades quimicas del suelo, asi como en el desempeno de las plantas. Brinzales de diez especies lenosas nativas de distintas etapas sucesionales del bosque nublado y la especie exotica Casuarina fueron combinados en cinco ensambles experimentales de distinta composicion y riqueza. El impacto de los ensambles fue notable en cinco de las ocho propiedades quimicas del suelo analizadas. El ensamble con Casuarina sobresalio de los demas por contener los individuos mas altos y los niveles superiores de la mayoria de los nutrientes, notablemente nitrogeno. Mas de la mitad de los individuos se establecieron exitosamente durante los dos primeros anos del experimento (1999 y 2001). Los ensambles afectaron la supervivencia individual, asi como todas las variables de crecimiento analizadas. La formacion de una cubierta vegetal ocurrio mas rapida y extensamente en los ensambles que solo contenian especies nativas, particularmente encinos, los que resaltaron tambien con niveles altos de algunos nutrientes. El ensamble mas rico en especies mostro atributos intermedios en las variables de suelo y de desarrollo. Se valida la inclusion de Casuarina en suelos degradados para favorecer la acumulacion de nutrientes. Los resultados sugieren que la rehabilitacion inicial puede favorecerse mediante el establecimiento de ensambles
Effect of α,α′‐dipyridyl on Exogut Formation in Vegetalized Embryos of the Sea Urchin

In presumptive vegetalized embryos, obtained by 3‐hr treatment with chloramphenicol at the 16–32 cell stage, the rates of [14C]proline incorporation into the collagen fraction and production of the [14C]hydroxyproline residues increased during development between 16 hr (equivalent to mesenchyme blastula stage) and 40 hr (the early pluteus stage) after fertilization at 20°C. In presumptive vegetalized embryos, the radioactivity of [14C]hydroxyproline residues was higher at the mesenchyme blastula stage (16 hr after fertilization), but lower at the post‐gastrula stage than in normal embryos. In normal embryos at the post‐gastrula stage, [14C]hydroxyproline residues were mainly found in isolated spicules, and the amounts of [14C]hydroxyproline residues in other parts were much lower than in vegetalized embryos, which had few, if any, spicules. α, α′‐Dipyridyl, an inhibitor of prolyl hydroxylase, inhibited the hydroxylation of [14C]proline residues in presumptive vegetalized and normal embryos, and blocked the formation of the archenteron and exogut.
