Diseases of eucalypt plantations in China: challenges and opportunities

In order to meet the needs of a rapidly growing local economy, plantations of Eucalyptus spp. have been extensively developed in China during the course of the past 20 years. Despite the fact that they threaten long term sustainability, very little work has been conducted on diseases and insect pests of Eucalyptus species in the country. In an effort to expand the base of knowledge regarding eucalypt diseases in China, surveys have been undertaken in major plantation areas, including those in Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan. In this review, the most important diseases of Eucalyptus in China, as they have emerged from surveys and other recent studies are considered. Identification of pathogens has been achieved based on morphology of the apparent causal agents and in some cases DNA sequence comparisons have been employed. The most obvious stem diseases encountered in China are bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, stem cankers caused by Chrysoporthe cubensis, Kirramyces zuluensis, as well as species of Botryosphaeria and a Ceratocystis sp. Leaf and shoot diseases are also important and the more important pathogens include Kirramyces destructans, Kirramyces epicoccoides, Quambalaria pitereka as well as species of Cylindrocladium, Mycosphaerella and Pilidiella. This study represents the first extensive survey of eucalypt diseases in mainland China and it clearly shows that there are a great number of pathogens affecting plantations of these trees in the region. Studies have thus been initiated to further characterise the pathogens as well as to assess their relative importance. This will be followed by the development of strategies to reduce the impact of the most important diseases.
Influence of Culture Conditions on Production of NGPs by Aspergillus tubingensis

isolated from grapes 11], possessed great antioxidant activity. A few years later, this fungus was finally identified as A. tubingensis [12] whose extract could be valuable in several industrial applications as an antioxidant substitute Fortunately, that strain does not produce any mycotoxin due to the absence of the related genes thanks to its genome sequencing [12]. A. tubingensis is a black fungus that can be found in warm climates and tropical areas; it is commonly isolated from soil or agricultural crop residues [14]. It has the The filamentous fungus Aspergillus tubingensis that belongs to the black Aspergillus section has the capacity to produce high-value metabolites, for instance, naphtho-gamma-pyrones (NGPs). For these fungal secondary metabolites, numerous biological properties of industrial interest have been demonstrated, such as antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-cancer capacities. It has been observed that production of these secondary metabolites is linked with fungal sporulation. The aim of this research was to apply osmotic and oxidative environmental stresses to trigger the production of NGPs in liquid cultures with CYB (Czapek Dox Broth). In addition, numerous parameters were tested during the experiments, such as pH value, incubation time, container geometry, and static and agitation conditions. Results demonstrate that the produced amount of NGPs can be enhanced by decreasing the water activity (a w ) or by adding an oxidative stress factor. In conclusion, this study can contribute to our knowledge regarding A. tubingensis to present an effective method to increase NGP production, which may support the development of current industrial processes.

DETERMINANTS OF INFANT FEEDING PRACTICES AMONG HIV-POSITIVE MOTHERS ATTENDING COMPREHENSIVE CARE CLINIC AT AHERO SUB-COUNTY HOSPITAL, KENYA

: Breast-feeding is usually the best way to feed infants, yet the advent of HIV has complicated this practice in our mothers today. There is enough evidence that exclusively breastfed infants are more protected against childhood morbidity and mortality from respiratory and gastrointestinal infections than those who are mixed fed or exclusively formula fed. The main objective of the study was to find out determinantsof infant feeding practices among mothers living with HIV attending comprehensive care clinic in Ahero sub-county hospital in Kisumu County, Kenya. The Study utilized descriptive cross sectional study. The study employed both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection. A study sample of 168 HIV-positive mothers with infants aged 0 to 12 months wasinterviewed. Semi-structured researcher administered questionnaires was used to collect data from the sampled respondents. Key informant interviews and focused group discussions were also used to collect qualitative data. SPSS version 21 was used to analyze quantitative data. Qualitative data was analyzed in key thematic areas. Descriptive statistics were employed to draw percentages while Chi square and fisher exact test was employed in testing significant associations with significance level set at p ≤0.05. The analyzed data was presented with figures, tables, and narratives. The study concluded that, majority of women living with HIV and giving birth are below 35 years of age, highest level of education at primary level, married and with unstable source of income. The study further reviewed that, despite good antenatal care visit among HIV positive mothers with majority first attendance before 24 weeks of gestation, mix feeding was still prevalent among the mothers with only 57.7% practicing exclusive breastfeeding while the rest had mix feeding which still increased the risk of mother to child transmission of HIV despite majority being of antiretroviral therapy.
Data Mining Analysis for Improving Decision-Making in Computer Management Information Systems

In this paper a decision tree-based data mining procedure for information systems is proposed to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of data mining. An enhanced C4.5 decision tree method based on cosine similarity is suggested to evaluate the information gain rate of characteristics and the information entropy of their values. When the information entropy variance among any two values for attributes is within the threshold range, the cosine similarity of the merging attribute values is determined, and the information gain rate of the attributes is recalculated. Large-scale data sets that conventional data processing methods are unable to handle successfully have given rise to the area of data mining. The prime objective is to look into how data mining technology is used in computer management information systems. The benefits of data mining technologies in computer management information systems are examined from a variety of angles in this study. In order to analyze and comprehend huge data sets and to derive knowledge that can be utilized to enhance the decision-making process in computer management information systems, the suggested solution makes use of a number of data mining techniques, including Clustering, Classification, and Association Rule Mining. The experimental analysis indicates that the time required by the proposed method to construct a decision tree is less than the time required by the GBDT, P-GBDT method and the C5.0 decision tree Hyperion image forest type fine classification method. The minimum time is not more than 15 seconds when compared with the minimum time saving of the other two methods. The time required by the C5.0 decision tree Hyperion image forest type fine classification method is always the greatest in comparison with the minimum time saving of the C5.0 decision tree. The classification accuracy of the proposed method for various datasets exceeds 95 percent, and the data mining efficacy is high. This method enhances the precision and efficacy of data mining in order to uncover valuable information concealed behind a large volume of data and maximize its value.
An analysis of the tectonic setting of Xujiajuan Formation of Middle Ordovician Xiangshan Group in Ningxia

The Xiangshan Group in Ningxia is dominated by deep-water turbidity current deposits which are mainly a set of low metamorphic terrigenous clastic rocks intercalated with minor carbonate rocks and cherts.The Xiangshan Group is divided into three formations,which are from bottom to top Xujiajuan Formation,Langzuizi Formation and Mopanjing Formation.As relatively much research work was devoted to the formation epoch while the study of other aspects was insufficient in the past,the authors have made an integrated study of tectonic settings from the framework modes,major elements and trace elements of terrigenous sandstones in Xujiajuan Formation,which comprises the lower part of Xiangshan Group.Some conclusions have been reached: ① the framework modes suggest a typical passive margin;② the discrimination diagrams for major elements suggest a result of uncertainty;and ③ the discrimination diagrams for trace elements suggest a transition tectonic setting.Thus,the tectonic setting during the deposition of Xujiajuan Formation of Xiangshan Group was not a simple passive margin,but most probably a transition source area among the passive margin,the active margin and the continental island arc.
Cloning, Expression in Escherichia coli and Purification of the Resveratrol Synthase Gene from Arachis hypogaea

Resveratrol synthase (RS) is the key and rate-limiting enzyme in resveratrol biosynthesis pathway. In this paper, the RS gene was cloned from Arachis hypogaea and was identified as an open reading frame of 1,170 bp encoding a protein of 389 amino acids. The predicted protein of RS has a calculated molecular mass of 43 kDa and an isoelectric point of 7.0. A prokaryotic expression vector containing Bam H I and Sal I restriction sites, pET-30a/RS, was constructed and transformed to Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). Then the recombinant bacteria were identified by bacteria liquid PCR, enzymes digestion and sequencing. The inducible expression of the target protein, a soluble protein, was detected and analysized by SDS-PAGE and Western Blot. Finally, the object protein was purified by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography after the bacteria cells disruption. Based on current research, the overproduction and purification system for the RS developed in this study would be invaluable in future studies of the functions of RS and biosynthesis of resveratrol.

Relationship between Disease Knowledge and Self-care Adherence among Heart Failure Patients: A scoping Review

: Heart failure is a leading cause of hospitalization in developed and developing healthcare systems as well as the subsequent increasing healthcare cost. Risk factors as age and lifestyle choices such as physical inactivity, smoking, and unhealthy diets cause heart failure further. Self-care and knowledge of HF are important at reducing the overall impact of the disease for populations at risk. Aim: The study sought to analyze existing literature to determine the relationship between disease knowledge and self-care adherence among adult heart failure patients. Methods: A scoping review approach was adopted to answer research on the relationship between the patient’s knowledge about the disease and their self-care adherence. Literature was searched through Saudi Digital Library (SDL) in ProQuest, CINAHL, MEDLINE, and PubMed. A predetermined eligibility criteria was used to select 28 journal articles. Results: Studies found knowledge came from the guidelines and cardiac educational programs delivered by healthcare professionals such as nurses. The self-care adherence varied with patients’ level of knowledge, ages, income, and educational status. Self-care practices include medication protocols, dietary changes, daily weighing, blood pressure monitoring, and physical activities. Conclusion: Patient’s knowledge of heart failure was the antecedent for their self-care adherence. Future studies should attempt to understand the knowledge and self-care adherence among Saudi patients.
Big Data Analysis and Design of Intelligent System for Early Detection of Ovarian Cancer in Women

Big Data Analysis is the market trend today in research institutes and industries. The data analysis problems can be solved by the machine learning and data mining techniques. The data mining techniques in the health care system are used to discover the valuable knowledge, which help the physicians to treat the patients at the earliest. This paper uses the data mining technology such as feature selection and classification to develop a predictive model for ovarian cancer detection. A large data set is gathered and preprocessed. Rough set theory is used to discover the data dependencies and reduce the feature set contained in the dataset. The Hybrid PSO and ACO (PACO)is used to optimize the selected featuresto efficiently classify the ovarian cancer tumors, either malignant(Stage I, StageII, Stage III, Stage IV) or benign.The Classification task is performed by the Multi Layer Feed Forward Neural Network (MFFNN) and it is trained using the backpropagation algorithm with momentum. The performance of the system is measured in terms of classification accuracy, mean absolute error and root mean square error.
Acidogenic Fermentation of Long Chain Fatty Acids (LCFA) Rich Wastewater

The main objective of this study was to investigate the fermentation efficacy of Long Chain Fatty Acids (LCFA) containing wastewater by acidogenic microorganisms. The digestibility of the wastes were evaluated up to 120 h using batch anaerobic digestion tests performed in serum bottles with acclimatized anaerobic acidogenic microorganisms at 28±2 °C. The breakdown of various organic constituents resulted in decrease of 62% COD, 72% TOC and 87% sulphate and release of wide range of fermentation metabolites resulted in 29% increase in VFA. In the initial start up hydrolytic phase, the value of redox potential (Eh) was -65mV and in the second fermentative phase it reached up to - 242mV within a short retention time of 24 h. In the process of acidogenic fermentation the extracellular Eh reached a maximum of -410mV at 72 h and was maintained throughout the batch digestion.
