Investigating the Diversity of Spoilage and Food Intoxicating Bacteria from Chicken Meat of Biratnagar, Nepal

Background: Foodborne diseases are global human health problems, especially in developing countries where substandard hygiene of food like meat and unsafe water supplies prevail which are aggravated by multidrug resistance. Objectives: The study was designed for investigating the diversity of microbial population like E. coli, Staphylococcus spp, Vibrio spp, Salmonella, Shigella and Pseudomonas from raw chicken meat and their drug resistance. Results: The major bacterial pathogens isolated were Shigella spp (60%) followed by Salmonella typhi (53.3%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (46.7%) and E. coli (46.7%), Staphylococcus aureus (40%), Staphylococcus epidermidis (33.3%) and Vibrio spp (13.3%) were isolated. With four antimicrobial drugs, 57.1% isolates of E. coli were sensitive to cefotaxime and levofloxacin while 65% resistant to amoxicillin. S. aureus isolates were 100% sensitive to cefotaxime and amoxicillin while 50% were sensitive to erythromycin. All isolates of Vibrio were found to be 100% sensitive to levofloxacin and amoxicillin. The isolates of Shigella were 37.5% resistant to cefotaxime and levofloxacin; while 12.5% resistant to amoxicillin. Salmonella typhi showed 33.3% resistant to cefotaxime and 22.2% resistant to levofloxacin and amoxicillin. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is 28.6% resistant to amoxicillin; while 14.3% resistant to levofloxacin and cefotaxime. Conclusion: The meat in retail shops of Biratnagar is highly contaminated so this could bring foodborne infections in the city. In this light, it is recommended that microbial assessment of fresh meats and other meat products for human consumption should be performed and proper cleanliness should be adopted to reduce a possible hazard.

Supplemental Issue of National Seminar on Empowering and Empanelling Ayurveda System of Medicine Organized by SC Mutha Aryangla Vaidyak Mahavidyalaya, Satara on 26-27 March 2015 Udaraprashamanartha Amalakyadi Kwatha in Alcoholic Liver Disease

Alcoholic liver disease is a term that encompasses the hepatic manifestations of alcohol overconsumption, including fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, and chronic hepatitis with hepatic fibrosis or cirrhosis. Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is the most prevalent cause of advanced liver disease. However, there has been limited research investment into ALD despite its significant burden on the health. Many patients of ALD having the clinical manifestations viz.ascites, hepatitis etc. used to visit the OPD of Dr. M.N. Agashe hospital, Satara.Hence, being an Ayurvedic hospital it was decided to work upon ALD with some Ayurvedic medicines. For that total 30 patients of ALD were selected and treated with ‘ AmalakyadiKwatha ’ (containing Amalaki, Haritaki and Guduchi and Katuki in equal proportion). The formulation was given in the dose of 20 ml twice a day for the duration of one month. All the necessary parameters along with required investigations were assessed. In the results, weight of the patients was reduced by 12.13%. The parameters like abdominal girth (7.13 %↓), distance between umbilicus and xiphisternum (17.34 %↓), distance between umbilicus and pubis (19.18 %↓), distance between umbilicus and right anterior superior iliac crest (19.55 %↓), distance between umbilicus and left anterior superior iliac crest (16.83 %↓) showed highly significant results. The biochemical parameters such as Bilirubin, SGPT and SGOT also showed significant reduction in their levels. Hence, it can be said that Aamlakyadi kwath can be a good option for disease like ALD instead of repeated abdominal paracentesis.
Large Plasma Membrane Disruptions Are Rapidly Resealed by Ca 2 (cid:49) -dependent Vesicle–Vesicle Fusion Events

A microneedle puncture of the fibroblast or sea urchin egg surface rapidly evokes a localized exocytotic reaction that may be required for the rapid resealing that follows this breach in plasma membrane integ-rity (Steinhardt, R.A,. G. Bi, and J.M. Alderton. 1994. Science (Wash. DC). 263:390–393). How this exocytotic reaction facilitates the resealing process is unknown. We found that starfish oocytes and sea urchin eggs rapidly reseal much larger disruptions than those produced with a microneedle. When an (cid:122) 40 by 10 (cid:109) m surface patch was torn off, entry of fluorescein stachyose (FS; 1,000 mol wt) or fluorescein dextran (FDx; 10,000 mol wt) from extracellular sea water (SW) was not detected by confocal microscopy. Moreover, only a brief ( (cid:122) 5–10 s) rise in cytosolic Ca 2 (cid:49) was detected at the wound site. Several lines of evidence indicate that intracellular membranes primary source of the membrane recruited for this massive resealing event. When we injected FS-containing
A miniaturized UWB-MIMO antenna with quadruple band-notched characteristics

Abstract A simple multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna with quad-band-notched characteristics for ultra-wideband (UWB) system is proposed and tested in the article. Based on two similar radiators, the UWB-MIMO system only occupies 22 mm × 28 mm. By etching an inverted L-like meander slot, two inverted L-shaped slots, and adding a C-shaped stub beside the feeding line, four notched bands are realized (3.25–3.6, 5.05–5.48, 5.6–6, and 7.8–8.4 GHz) to suppress interference from WiMAX, lower WLAN, upper WLAN, and uplink of X-band satellite communication system. With a T-like stub extruding from the ground plane, port isolation is effectively improved. The results show that the antenna covers 3.1–10.6 GHz UWB frequency band except four rejected bands and has high isolation of better than −20 dB over most of the frequency band. Moreover, envelope correlation coefficient and good radiation patterns also prove that the introduced antenna is suitable for UWB applications.
A VIBRANT STRATEGY TO ACHIEVE GENERALIZED DETECTION

:- Extensive simulation leads to both connected and disconnected systems show our schemes achieve high failure recognition rates and occasional false positive rates, and incur low communication overhead. The present approach can result in a lot of network-wide traffic, incompatible using the restricted sources in mobile wireless systems. Our approach has got the advantage that it&#39;s relevant to both connected and disconnected systems. When compared with other approaches which use localized monitoring, our approach has similar failure recognition rates, lower communication overhead and far lower false positive rate. Additionally, our approach has got the advantage that it&#39;s relevant to both connected and disconnected systems while centralized monitoring is just relevant to connected systems. Within an indoor atmosphere where Gps navigation doesn&#39;t work, a node may use indoor localization techniques. Different location devices and methods have different amounts of error in location measurements. The failure probability depends upon the node itself along with the atmosphere. Our approach only generates localized monitoring traffic and it is relevant to both connected and disconnected systems Many localization techniques happen to be coded in the literature. In the finish, we produce an upper bound of failure recognition rate using our approach.
Design of Broadband Transition Structure from Microstrip to Soltline with Band Notched Characteristic

In this paper, a broadband transition structure from microstrip line to slotline with band-notched characteristic is proposed. To match the 50 Ω microstrip line, 4 Chebyshev impedance transformations are used in the transition structure, and its bandwidth is widened. There is a fan-shaped radial line at the microstrip terminal. A U-shaped slot is etched on the microstrip line with stepped impedance matching to achieve band-notch characteristic. By changing the length of the slot, the band notch is realized at different frequencies. Simulation and optimization of the transition structure are made by using the high frequency simulation software HFSS to achieve the band-notch function at 3.37–3.84 GHz and 10.67–11.14 GHz. In the rest of the band, return loss S11 is less than −15 dB, and voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) is less than 1.5.
Assessment of ‘diabetes related attitudes’ among healthcare professionals

Introduction: The burden of managing diabetes mellitus in developing countries primarily lies with the healthcare professionals. Improper diabetes related practice by healthcare professionals could cause adverse outcome among their patients. Despite high prevalence of diabetes, studies assessing the attitudes of healthcare professionals towards the disease are limited. Aim: The study aims to assess the attitudes of healthcare professionals towards diabetes and compare them among subgroups of healthcare professionals. Materials & methods: This study adopting the questionnaire of Diabetes Attitude Scale-3 (DAS-3) which analyses attitudes of individuals across five subscales, was performed among 100 healthcare professionals (doctors and nurses)involved in clinical management of diabetes. They were sub-grouped as doctors and nurses; for comparison and analysis. Results: The study demonstrated an overall positive attitude towards diabetes. The mean overall score by healthcare professionals on their attitude towards diabetes was 3.74 ± 0.24. Among subscales, ‘need for special training’ has the maximum score of 4.39 ± 0.36 while the ‘value of tight control’ scored the lowest with 3.41 ± 0.45. The p-value, comparing the attitudes between doctors and nurses showed highly significant difference (p< 0.01) on the ‘seriousness of diabetes’ and ‘value for tight control’; with doctors scoring more than nurses. However, nurses showed higher positive attitudes towards ‘patient autonomy’ than doctors (p< 0.01). Conclusion: Lack of strong positive attitudes towards diabetes among healthcare professionals could adversely affect patient education and disease management. Specialized training programs and CME’s focused on improving diabetes related attitudes are for all healthcare professionals would enhance the quality of care.
Stabilization after Immune Stimulation of and Re-establishment of Vascular Quiescence Dendritic Cells Regulate the hi CD11c

Lymph node expansion during immune responses is accompanied by rapid vascular expansion. The re-establishment of quiescence and stabilization of the newly expanded vasculature and the regulatory mechanisms involved have not been well studied. We show that although initiation of vascular expansion in immune-stimulated nodes is associated with upregulated endothelial cell proliferation, increased high endothelial venule trafﬁcking efﬁciency and VCAM-1 expression, and disrupted perivascular ﬁbroblastic reticular cell organization, the re-establishment of vascular quiescence and stabilization postexpansion is characterized by reversal of these phenomena. Although CD11c med cells are associated with the initiation of vascular expansion, CD11c hi MHC class II (MHC II) med dendritic cells (DCs) accumulate later, and their short-term depletion in mice abrogates the re-establishment of vascular quiescence and stabilization. CD11c hi MHC II med cells promote endothelial cell quiescence in vitro and, in vivo, mediate quiescence at least in part by mediating reduced lymph node vascular endothelial growth factor. Disrupted vascular quiescence and stabilization in expanded nodes is associated with attenuated T cell-dependent B cell responses. These results describe a novel mechanism whereby CD11c hi MHC II med DCs regulate the re-establishment of vascular quiescence and stabilization after lymph node vascular expansion and suggest that these DCs function in part to orchestrate the microenvironmental alterations required for successful immunity.

Dual‐band substrate integrated waveguide bandpass filter based on CSRRs and multimode resonator

This article presents a dual‐band substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) band‐pass filter based on complementary split ring resonators (CSRRs) and multimode cavity resonator. The filter consists of a square SIW cavity, CSRRs and several perturbed metallic vias. The resonant frequencies of the CSRRs and TE102 mode form the first passband, and the resonant frequencies of the TE201 mode and TE202 mode form the second passband. The upper and lower cutoff frequencies of the two passbands can be adjusted independently by changing the dimensions of the CSRRs as the position of the perturbed vias and the size of the cavity. Finally, a band‐pass filter with center frequencies of 9.8 and 13.5 GHz is designed and fabricated. The measured S‐parameters agree well with the simulated results, which demonstrate the feasibility of this dual‐bandpass filter design method. The value of this work is the four 3‐dB cut‐off frequency can be controlled independently to adjust the bandwidth, instead of changing the cavity coupling strength.
Phytoextraction of Copper and Lead from Spiked Soil using Acalypha wilkesiana (Copper leaf) and Polyscias fruticosa (Aralia)

Soil contaminated with heavy metals industrially or anthropogenically is a major global concern. This study aimed at investigating the potential of Acalypha wilkesiana and Polyscias fruticosa plants to remove copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) from soil spiked with solutions of Cu and Pb. Information on the ability of both plants to uptake and accumulate Cu and Pb from spiked soil is insufficient. Plant cuttings were grown in a 2 kg soil spiked with heavy metals and kept at the greenhouse for the period of 240 days. Root, stem and leaf of the plants were analyzed for Cu and Pb using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). Cu accumulation (2.58 -542.66 mg/kg) was appreciably higher than Pb accumulation (26.24 - 46.44 mg/kg) in A. wilkesiana, while Cu accumulation ranged 4.54 - 384.19 mg/kg was found to be lower than the Pb accumulation ranged 1.22-759.48 mg/kg in P. fruticosa. The maximum accumulation of Cu and Pb in the shoot were found to be 52.50 and 82.93 mg/kg in A. wilkesiana, while 38.26 and 123.98 mg/kg in P. fruticosa. Accumulation of Cu and Pb by both plants were correlated using the indices bioaccumulation, transfer factor and translocation index. The result is encouraging and suggests that both plants could be applied for phytoextraction of Cu and Pb from heavy metal spiked soil.
A System Design for The Integration of RFID Systems with Wireless Network Technologies

— RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a special type of wireless communication that allows automatic identification of objects without requiring a line-of-sight. It cannot provide the fullest benefits as a standalone technology. Efficient and successful RFID applications must be developed by smoothly incorporating RFID systems into existing infrastructures to improve business processes and data management capabilities. In this paper, a system architecture that achieves the integration of RFID systems with wireless network technologies (e.g., ZigBee, Wi-Fi, WiMAX, cellular networks) is presented. A control unit is designed to identify objects, gather and manage RFID data, and keep the track of RFID tagged objects without any human involvement from long distances. A middleware is developed to improve mobile applications, provide monitoring our system, route RFID information to the related units automatically in a faster, more efficient, secure, wide capacitated way without any limitation. Our system design resolves the problems caused by lack of information, ensures to achieve competitive advantages, has longer operating range. In our study, a system design is illustrated to show how RFID systems can be integrated with wireless communication technologies to collect and manage secure real-time information.
University of Birmingham The mechanics and physics of high-speed dislocations

High speed dislocations have long been identified as the dominant feature governing the plastic response of crystalline materials subjected to high strain rates. They allegedly control deformation and failure response of industrial processes in a large range of applications, including machining, laser shock peening, punching, drilling, crashworthiness, foreign object damage,etc. Despite decades of study, achieving a consensus on the role and influence high speed dislocations have on the materials response observed at the macro-scale by the means of rigorous mechanistic grounding remains elusive. This article reviews both experimental and theoretical efforts made to address this issue in a systematic way. The lack of experimental evidence and direct observation of high speed dislocations means that most work on the matter is rooted on theory and simulations. This article offers a critical review of the competing theoretical accounts of high speed mechanisms, their underlying hypothesis, insights, and shortcomings. It explores the role that the speed of sound plays in the modelling of high speed dislocations, the way dislocations are modelled in the elastic continuum and how this approach can be used to study plasticity at high strain rates. The role atomistic models of dislocations have played in clarifying high speed motion mechanisms, and how they have led to the development of dislocation velocity-stress relations describing dislocation mobility is then also discussed. The article also reviews modelling efforts aimed at describing high speed dislocation mobility, and how different proposed physical mechanisms believed influence the motion. The article closes with an overview of the current state of the art and suggestions for key developments needed to improve our fundamental understanding in future research.
University of Birmingham Dissipative distillation of supercritical quantum gases

We experimentally realize a method to produce non-equilibrium Bose Einstein condensates with condensed fraction exceeding those of equilibrium samples with the same parameters. To do this, we immerse an ultracold Bose gas of 87 Rb in a cloud of 39 K with substantially higher temperatures, providing a controlled source of dissipation. By combining the action of the dissipative environment with evaporative cooling, we are able to progressively distil the non-equilibrium Bose-Einstein condensate from the thermal cloud. We show that by increasing the strength of the dissipation it is even possible to produce condensates above the critical temperature. We ﬁnally demonstrate that our out-of-equilibrium samples are long-lived and do not reach equilibrium in a time that is accessible for our experiment. Due to its high degree of control, our distillation process is a promising tool for the engineering of open quantum systems.
Means and variances of some characters in base populations, with emphasis on grain yield in soybean

The aim of this study was to evaluate in early generations of self-fertilization the potential of single, doubleand multiple crosses, as producers of base population for soybean breeding programs. The crosses were madeinvolving eight parents with low coefficient of parentage between them. The experiment with the segregating populationswas conducted in a completely randomized design with three replications. The results were subjected to analysisbased on plot means and individual plants. For the characters number of days to flowering and to maturity,and plant height at flowering and at maturity, the means obtained with the F3 populations of single crosses,the F3 populations of double crosses and the F 2 populations of multiple crosses were similar. The best resultsfor grain yield per plant were obtained with the F3 populations of double crosses. ln general, no change wasdetected in the values of genetic variance of the segregating populations because of the number of parents usedin the crosses.
high High Power Combiner/Divider Design for Dual Band RF Power

 Abstract —Design of low loss with an enhanced thermal profile power divider/combiner for high power dual-band Radio Frequency (RF) power amplifier applications is given. The practical implementation, low loss and substrate characteristics make this type of combiner ideal for high power microwave applications. The combiner operational frequencies are chosen to operate at 900 MHz and 2.14 GHz, which are common frequencies for concurrent dual band RF power amplifiers. The analytical results are verified with simulation results for various cases and agreement has been observed on all of
PROGRESSIVE MULTIFOCAL LEUKOENCEPHALOPATHY

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system caused by the reactivation of latent JC virus. Since its initial description, there have been changes in its epidemiology, clinical presentation, evolution and prognosis. Some decades ago, it was considered a rare disease, but now it is a major complication of AIDS and represents an obstacle to the use of promising treatments for autoimmune disorders. Although the survival rate has increased in the last years, still no specific treatment for JC virus is available and further research is needed for a more effective management of the disease.
Title: Characteristics that modify the effect of small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplementation on child anemia and micronutrient status: an individual participant data meta- analysis of randomized controlled trials

1 Background: Small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements (SQ-LNS) have been shown to 2 reduce the prevalence of anemia and iron deficiency among infants and young children, but 3 effects on other micronutrients are less well known. Identifying subgroups who may experience 4 greater benefits from SQ-LNS, or who are more likely to respond to the intervention, may 5 facilitate the development of public health policies and programs. 6 7 Objective: Our objective was to identify study-level and individual-level modifiers of the effect 8 of SQ-LNS on child hematological and micronutrient status outcomes. 9 10 Methods: We conducted a two-stage meta-analysis of individual participant data from 13 11 randomized controlled trials of SQ-LNS provided to children 6 to 24 months of age in lowand 12 middle-income countries (n = 15,946). Outcomes were hemoglobin (Hb), inflammation-adjusted 13 plasma ferritin, soluble transferrin receptor, zinc, retinol and retinol binding protein (RBP), and 14 erythrocyte zinc protoporphyrin, and respective dichotomous outcomes indicative of anemia and 15 micronutrient deficiency. We generated study-specific estimates of SQ-LNS vs. control, 16 including main effects and subgroup estimates for individual-level effect modifiers, and pooled 17 the estimates using fixed-effects models. We used random effects meta-regression to examine 18 potential study-level effect modifiers. 19 20 Results: Provision of SQ-LNS decreased the prevalence of anemia (Hb < 110 g/L) by 16% 21 (relative reduction), iron deficiency (plasma ferritin < 12 μg/L) by 56% and iron deficiency 22 anemia (IDA; Hb < 110 g/L and plasma ferritin < 12 μg/L) by 64%.
