Evolutionary Biology and Genetically Engineered CropsConsideration of evolutionary theory can aid in crop design

M ost of the controversy surrounding the use of genetically engineered organisms has so far focused on unintended establishment of these organisms, or their genes, in enviroments where they could disrupt ecological systems or adversely affect human health (Gillett et al. 1985, Kolata 1985, Sharples 1982). In contrast, almost no attention has been devoted to potential, evolutionary responses of indigenous organisms to the genetically engineered organisms. These evolutionary changes could rapidly nullify the utility of the genetically engineered organisms and could significantly alter ecosystem function. In this article, I discuss how empirical and theoretical research in evolutionary biology could be used in the development of release strategies that may limit such problems without stifling the potential benefits of genetic engineering. I focus on the effects of planting genetically engineered crops containing genes that code for pest-resistance traits. Can we predict the evolutionary response of pest organisms to genetically engineered crops? Are there realistic tactics that could be used to minimize or beneficially manipulate the genetic responses of the pest organisms to genetically engineered crops? Although I restrict this discussion to pest-resistance genes in
Structural comparison of biologically active and inactive conjugates of α‐amino acids and the plant growth hormone (auxin) indole‐3‐acetic acid

The crystal structures of the naturally occurring biologically active conjugate N-(indol-3-ylacetyl)-L-valine [N-(IAA)-L-Val] and the synthetic inactive N-(indol-3-ylacetyl)-α-aminoisobutyric acid [N-(IAA)-α-Aib] have been determined. The growth-promoting activity of these compounds is discussed on the basis of their stereochemical properties. Conformational analysis of the amino-acid side chains has been performed by molecular mechanics and dynamics, and a comparison has been made with the conformations detected in the solid state
Variation in Antioxidants and Antioxidant Activity in Garlic Cultivars

Little is known about the antioxidant content of garlic (Allium sativum L.). Garlic cultivars were assessed for levels of enzymatic (peroxidase and catalase) and nonenzymatic (ascorbic acid and phenol) antioxidants and their activity in molybdenum-reducing antioxidant potential (MRAP), superoxide radical scavenging activity (SRAC), 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity (DPPHRAC), and lipid peroxidation (LP) assays. Total phenol (4.14 mg·g−1) was the most abundant nonenzymatic antioxidant compared to free phenol (1.12 mg·g−1) and ascorbic acid (0.15 mg·g−1). Enzymatic antioxidants such as peroxidase and catalase activities averaged 5.82 ΔA430·min−1·g−1 and 2.06 units, respectively. The highest antioxidant activity in terms of MRAP and DPPHRAC was found in cv. G-41, whereas that in terms of SRAC and LP the highest antioxidant activity was found in cv. G-323. The highest value of pyruvic acid development, the index of pungency, was found in cv. G-1. Based on the averages and principal component analysis, cv. Gangajali appeared to have the most antioxidants, followed by cv. G-41 and cv. G-50. These cultivars are promising candidates from which improved lines can be developed.
LYMPHOCYTE-MEDIATED CYTOTOXICITY IN VITRO

The ability of antisera to suppress immune responses either in vivo or in vitro is well known. A variety of lymphocyte-target cell systems have been employed to demonstrate inhibition of cell-mediated immunity by antisera in vitro, and skin, tumor, and kidney graft survival have been prolonged by passively administered antiserum in vivo. An in vitro lymphocyte-tumor cell assay system was developed for the purpose of studying the effects of enhancing antisera (in vivo) on lymphocyte-mediated cytotoxicity in vitro. The characteristics of this system with respect to route of immunization, time of harvest of immune cells, lymphocyte:tumor cell ratio, and effect of nonimmune or nonspecifically immune lymphoid cells are presented. Sera capable of enhancement in vivo were tested in this system and shown to inhibit cell-mediated immunity in vitro. Further, in both instances the immunosuppressive effect is mediated by antigen-antibody complexes and not by free antibody alone. Experiments were also carried out to determine the site of action of these suppressive antigen-antibody complexes. Presensitized lymphocytes were exposed to antigen-antibody complexes, washed, and then allowed to interact with fresh tumor cells (not antibody treated). Lymphocytes treated in this manner are incapable of exhibiting cell-mediated immunity in vitro. This evidence supports the concept that the antigen-antibody complexes have a direct immunosuppressive effect on the lymphocyte.
OSEMN Approach for Real Time Data Analysis

Data analysis system is the study of people opinions, sentiments, attitudes, and emotions expressed through written language. Sentiment analysis is just a part of it in this system we compare the accuracy result of two languages sentiment analysis. If we saw than sentiment analysis is one of the most active research areas. It is popular because of two reasons. First, it has a big range of applications because opinions are center of almost all human activities and it shows our behaviours. Whenever we make a decision, we have to heard other’s opinions as well. Second, it presents many challenges research problems, which had never been strive before the year 2000. Part of the reason for the lack of study before was that there was small dogmatic text in digital forms. There is no surprise that the establishment and the rapid growth in the field coincide with the social media on the Web. In fact, the research has also increase outside of computer science to manage science and social science due to its importance to business and society as a whole. Information analysis system is the system in which we measure the accuracy rate of both languages chirps. The main thing is this that this project is a newly formed project. We can say that sentiment analysis is just a part of it for that we have to understand what is sentiment classification and analysis. So Sentiment classification is a way to inspect the personal data in the chirps or data and then extract the opinion. Chirps analysis the method by which information is withdraw from the opinions, and emotions of people in regards to things. During decision taking the opinion of other person shave a drastic effect on users or customers ease because they make choices regarding to e-shopping, choosing events, products, things. The approaches towards chirps analysis work according to a particular level, document level. This paper aims at analysing a solution for the sentiment classification at a powdery, mainly in the sentences in which the polar nature of the chirps or sentences given by three categorization name as positive ,negative and neutral.

Phytic acid-trace element (Zn, Cu, Mn) interactions

Summary Studies in animals and human subjects have shown that diets high in phytic acid can cause zinc deficiency, and that the phytate content is negatively correlated to zinc absorption. Suboptimal zinc status has been shown to cause increased morbidity, poor pregnancy outcome, impaired growth, immune competence and cognitive function, emphasizing the need to optimize zinc bioavailability. Reducing the content of phytate in the diet is one way of improving zinc absorption and this can be achieved by novel precipitation methods during processing, food preparation methods that activate endogenous phytase (e.g. baking, fermentation, malting and hydrothermal processing), or addition of exogenous phytase. During the action of phytase on phytic acid, the hexaphosphate is hydrolysed into inositol phosphates with lower degrees of phosphorylation. Because only the penta- and hexaphosphates have been shown to inhibit zinc absorption, it is often essential to analyze the individual forms of phytate in the diet when evaluating zinc bioavailability. Phytic acid does not inhibit copper absorption, but has a modest inhibitory effect on manganese absorption.
Evaluation of a polyclonal antibody immunoassay for detection and quantification of Macrophomina phaseolina

Detection and quantification of Macrophomina phaseolina, causal agent of charcoal/dry root rot disease in many crop plants, was carried out using the ELISA serological technique. Polyclonal antisera raised to water soluble extracts of mycelium, the residual water insoluble mycelial materials or ribosomal proteins were evaluated for specificity and cross-reactivity with 16 common soil fungi by ODD and DAS–ELISA. Soluble and cell wall antisera exhibited strong cross-reactivity with most of the fungal isolates. Ribosomal antibodies were less reactive to common soil fungi except Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceri. Mycelial antigens of M. phaseolina on chickpea roots were detectable with DAS–ELISA at a minimum concentration of 10 ng g−1 at 1 : 100 root : buffer dilution. Quantitative estimation of M. phaseolina on roots was evaluated by ELISA under different temperatures and moisture conditions, and in soil amended with a potential antagonist (Trichoderma harzianum 25-92). A significant reduction in ELISA values was observed in T. harzianum-amended treatments. This method may be useful for detection and rapid screening of M. phaseolina under different environmental conditions.
Cutaneous Mastocytosis in a 61-year-old Female from a Dermatological and Histopathological Perspective

First described by Nettleship et al. in 1869 [1], mastocytoses are a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by the pathologic accumulation of mast cells in various tissues [25]. Mastocytosis can be confined to the skin as in cutaneous mastocytosis (CM), or it can involve extracutaneous tissues such as the liver, spleen, bone marrow and lymph nodes, as in systemic mastocytosis [6]. Mastocytosis is a World Health Organization-defined clonal mast cell disorder characterized by significant clinicopathologic heterogeneity [7].
Quantification labour migration processes: systemization of the experience of foreign and domestic studies

The article made the attempt to systematize foreign and domestic research experiences on quantitative measurement of quality performance indicators work-migration processes. In particular, it analyses the possibility of harmonization of statistical accounting of labor migration, carried out by separate departmental systems to gather broad demographic information. As well as the features of the specialized and general sample surveys of the labour movement in the countries of ES and the post-soviet states. On the basis of the analysis of the necessity of the integration of economic, demographic and sociological approaches for full-scale analysis of the labour migration situation in the labour market. It is proved that sociological research work-migration processes more flexible, in comparison with the economic. And their use will allow to consider the impact on the adoption of the individual decisions on the labour movement of the whole complex of modern trends of development of society and economy. It is proposed to supplement recommendations A. Vorobyov, A. Grebenyuk, A. Topilin regarding the definition of the range of respondents, and social indicators included in the Toolkit of sample surveys of labour migration. The implementation of such methodological innovations will allow to solve the question of forecasting the dynamics work-migration processes.
Logistics of the Future—Physical Internet and Its Practicality

Abstract:The Internet has revolutionized the way we communicate and trade on a global scale. The Internet of Things makes objects and devices that we use every day—from interior design (home appliances) to sensors in infrastructure (bridges, roads, buildings)—more efficient by enabling them to transmit data and connecting them in the cloud. The next stage is the Physical Internet (PI), which heralds the adoption of technology and methodology of Digital Internet to the real (physical) world. Physical Internet pushes boundaries for research and practice, and its goal is to optimize logistics processes to create more efficient and sustainable supply chains. The article points to the chances that the Physical Internet brings to the logistics efficiency from an EU perspective. The article describes the formal EU preparation for the PI concept as well as the selected first projects, ventures, and tools that already function as prototypes of the PI concept.
Die elektrische Leitfähigkeit der Scheidenschleimhaut beim Schwein

Inhalt: Es wurde die Brauchbarkeit eines Wechselstrom-Ohmmeters zur Erkennung der Brunst sowie der bevorstehenden Geburt und der fruhzeitigen Feststellung von Puerperalstorungen bei 150 Schweinen uberpruft. Wie die Meβergebnisse zeigen, besteht ein signifikanter Unterschied (P ≤ 0,01) zwischen dem Widerstand der Vagi-nalschleimhaut wahrend des Ostrus (44,9 ± 1,712) und des Diostrus (53,6 ± 3,4 bis 86.9 ± 1.8 ±; x ± sx). Auch bei Tieren mit verzogerter Ovulation kann der fur eine Besamung gunstigste Zeitpunkt ermittelt werden. Wahrend der Geburt tritt ein starker Abfall der Meβwerte ein, die bei einem norma-len Puerperium bereits nach 12–24 Stunden wieder ansteigen, wahrend bei einer StoUrung der postpartalen Phase fur die Dauer der Erkrankung kein Anstieg folgt. Es scheint, daβ die Methode der Widerstandsmessung der Vaginalschleimhaut beim Schwein zur Brunstfeststellung, zur Bestimmung des optimalen Inseminationszeit-punktes und zur Fruherkennung von Puerperalstoungen geeignet ist. Content: The use of an alternating current-ohmmeter for the detection of heat, onset of parturition, and early diagnosis of puerperal fever was studied in 150 pigs. The results showed that there was a significant difference (P < 0.01) between the resistance of the vaginal mucous membrane during oestrus (44.9 ≤ 1.7) and that during dioestrus (53.6 ± 3.4 to 86.9 ± 1.8 ±;x ± sx). In sows with delayed ovulation a suitable time for insemination can also be determined. During parturition a sharp fall in the values occurred, which rose again in a normal puerperium after 12–24 hours. In disorders of the puerperium, however, the values remained low for the duration of the illness. Measurement of resistance of the vaginal mucous membrane in pigs appears to be a suitable method for detecting heat, for determining the optimum time for insemination, and for the early diagnosis of puerperal disease.
Multitarget Evaluation of the Photocatalytic Activity of P25-SiO2 Prepared by Atomic Layer Deposition

This work presents the evaluation of the photocatalytic activity of P25 TiO2 particles, coated with SiO2, using atomic layer deposition (ALD) for the photocatalytic removal of methylene blue, oxidation of methanol and inactivation of Escherichia coli bacteria in water and its comparative evaluation with bare P25 TiO2. Two different reactor configurations were used, a slurry reactor with the catalyst in suspension, and a structured reactor with the catalyst immobilized in macroporous foams, that enables the long-term operation of the process in continuous mode, without the necessity of separation of the particles. The results show that the incorporation of SiO2 decreases the efficiency of the photocatalytic oxidation of methanol, whereas a significant improvement in the removal of methylene blue is achieved, and no significant changes are observed in the photocatalytic inactivation of bacteria. Adsorption tests showed that the improvements, observed in the removal of methylene blue by the incorporation of SiO2, was mainly due to an increase in its adsorption. The improvement in the adsorption step as part of the global photocatalytic process led to a significant increase in its removal efficiency. Similar conclusions were reached for bacterial inactivation where the loss of photocatalytic efficiency, suggested by the methanol oxidation tests, was counteracted with a better adherence of bacteria to the catalyst that improved its elimination. With respect to the use of macroporous foams as support, a reduction in the photocatalytic efficiency is observed, as expected from the decrease in the available surface area. Nevertheless, this lower efficiency can be counteracted by the operational improvement derived from the easy catalyst reuse.
INTER-COMPATIBILITY AND PERFORMANCE OF DIPLOID AND DERIVED TETRAPLOID RAPE (BRASSICA CAMPESTRIS L.)

Normal diploid and derived tetraploid strains of Brassica campestris were grown in alternate 6-row plots at two locations. Rows of tetraploid rape, spaced 18 inches from diploid rows, were distinctly reduced in yield of seed, oil content and seeds per pod, whereas the seed yield of the diploid was not affected by the proximity of the tetraploid. The yield of the tetraploid increased as the distance from the diploid plots increased.Pollen germination studies and controlled crosses were made within and between ploidy levels. Seven and one-half hours after pollination of 2n and 4n stigmas, n pollen had germinated and made good penetration into stylar tissue whereas pollen tubes were just emerging from 2n pollen grains. It was concluded that pollen from diploid plants had a competitive advantage over pollen from tetraploid plants.No evidence of mature triploid seeds was found on tetraploid plants exposed to n pollen or on diploid plants exposed to 2n pollen. It is suggested that if triploid embryos were forme.
IMPACT OF MENOPAUSE ON QUALITY OF LIFE AMONG INDIAN WOMEN

Research Objectives: The objective of the study was to assess the impact of menopause on the quality of life of Indian women. Methodology: 155 women, in the age range of 40 to 60 years, from various parts of India were included in the study based on inclusion criteria (mentally oriented women not using hormonal replacement therapy, without history of hysterectomy and medical conditions like hypertension, diabetes and thyroid problems). Menopause-specific Quality of Life (MENQOL) questionnaire was used to assess the presence of symptoms in vasomotor, psychosocial, physical and sexual domains. Menopausal status was categorized as Late perimenopausal, Early perimenopausal, Premenopausal and postmenopausal. Findings: Descriptive statistics was used to analyze the data. The average age of participants was 50.7 years with average BMI of 25.9. A largest no. of women were in the postmenopausal status (n=115), followed by premenopausal (n=19), early perimenopausal (15) and late perimenopausal (n=6) status. Most common symptom in vasomotor domain was sweating (38.06%), in psychosocial domain feeling anxious (25.80%) and depressed (25.16), in physical domain decrease in physical strength (49.67%), feeling tired (48.38%), lack of energy (47.74%), low backache (47.74%), aching in muscles and joints (46.45%) whereas in sexual domain mild vaginal dryness during intercourse (30%) and change in sexual desire (28.67%). Research Outcomes: The menopausal symptoms lasted many years after the cessation of menstruation. 25-50% of prevalence rate in various domains indicates a need to adopt multidimensional approach, for the better management of menopausal symptoms. Future Scope: Future study may be carried out with equal sample size in all the categories of menopausal status to identify the relationship between the severity of menopausal symptoms and the menopause status.
Outcome of pedicle screw fixation with transpedicular bone grafting in fracture of thoracolumbar vertebrae

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Posterior short segment instrumentation for thoracolumbar fracture is known for high implant failure rate because of the lack of anterior support.
