Effect of Diet Containing Probiotic on the Properties of Japanese Quail Meat during the Storage Time

Background and Objectives: Antibiotics remaining in poultry products cause serious diseases such as cancer, allergy, secondary infections, metabolic disorders and increased antibiotic resistance in the microorganisms to the consumers. In this study, the use of probiotics (as an alternative to antibiotics) in Japanese quail feed and its effects on the properties of meat were investigated. Materials and Methods: The effect of adding a probiotic powder at three levels (0.25, 0.5 and 0.75%) of the diet on the microbial characteristics, quality and shelf-life of Japanese quail meat was studied, and compared with the control sample and the poultries that fed with diet containing 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75% antibiotics. Results: Addition of probiotic resulted in decreasing of the total count of bacteria in the fresh meat, but the amounts of coliforms were not significantly different between the treatments in the first day. Although the total counts and coliforms increased during the storage time, only the seventh day showed significant differences with the other days. On the other hand, Protexin did not cause significant changes in the meat’s water-holding capacity. The evaluation of oxidation in the fresh meat showed that the probiotic supplementation resulted in decreasing of malondialdehyde, and improving of meat quality during the storage time. In addition, assessment of color characteristics indicated that addition of probiotics caused to reduce yellowness, and increase redness and brightness of the fresh meat. During the storage, the redness of meat was maintained, brightness was reduced, and yellowish was increased. Conclusion: Since the adding of probiotic in the diet caused to control the activity of microorganisms, reduced oxidation reactions, increased water holding capacity and improved meat color index, it is a good alternative for antibiotics in the feed of Japanese quail.
The Influence of Liquidity Toward Capital Structure

Globalization and technological developments in the business world, both in the industry are growing rapidly. Most of the manufacturing companies use the debt as their capital structure which can be seen from the fluctuation of debt to equity (DER) ratio in 2014-2017. This research aims to examine the influence of liquidity toward capital structure in manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2014-2018 period, which are grouped by the company size. The multiple linear regression analysis is used to test the hypothesis. The results of this research indicate that liquidity has a negative influence toward leverage, reflects that the higher the liquidity of a company, the lower the level of leverage and vice versa. There is a consistency between large and small companies regarding the effect of liquidity on leverage. Capital structure for large and small companies still choose internal funds as the first choice. Keywords : Capital Structure; Liquidity; Large Companies; Small Companies.
Uncertainty in Comparative Risk Analysis for Threatened Australian Plant Species

Australian state and federal agencies use a broad range of methods for setting conservation priorities for species at risk. Some of these are based on rule sets developed by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, while others use point scoring protocols to assess threat. All of them ignore uncertainty in the data. In this study, we assessed the conservation status of 29 threatened vascular plants from Tasmania and New South Wales using a variety of methods including point scoring and rule-based approaches. In addition, several methods for dealing with uncertainty in the data were applied to each of the priority-setting schemes. The results indicate that the choice of a protocol for setting priorities and the choice of the way in which uncertainty is treated may make important differences to the resulting assessments of risk. The choice among methods needs to be rationalized within the management context in which it is to be applied. These methods are not a substitute for more formal risk assessment.

Repetitive control is installed into the current control of the residential photovoltaic power generation system. The generation system is interconnected to the utility grid. The control command and disturbance of the inverter is a periodic line frequency value. The control stability and suppression of the disturbance are realized by the repetitive control of the current signal. The control is implemented into a single-chip microcomputer by the software. 18 kHz control of the current realizes low distortion output and enables us to use smaller power inductor of the filter.
Very‐low‐profile dual‐wideband tablet device antenna for LTE/WWAN operation

A simple two‐strip antenna formed by a driven strip and a shorted parasitic strip to provide two wide bands with a very low profile of 8 mm for the LTE/WWAN operation (698–960/1710–2690 MHz) in the tablet devices such as a tablet computer is presented. In addition to the very low profile, the antenna occupies a small clearance region of 8 × 50 mm2 above the top edge of the device ground plane, and the thickness of the antenna is 3.8 mm only, which is promising for modern tablet device applications. The dual‐wideband operation of the antenna is obtained by configuring the driven strip into a step shape, while the shorted parasitic strip includes a main segment and a double‐step‐shaped shorting segment. The proposed antenna configuration can lead to proper coupling between the driven strip and the parasitic strip, so that wideband resonant modes thereof can be generated, making the antenna's wide higher band cover the desired 1710–2690‐MHz band. For the desired lower band of 698–960 MHz, it is achieved by integrating the driven strip with a high‐pass matching circuit of a series chip capacitor of 1.8 pF and a parallel chip inductor of 13 nH, which does not increase the antenna's occupied volume and requires no realty space on the device ground plane. The integrated high‐pass matching circuit greatly widens the antenna's lower band. Details of the proposed antenna are presented and discussed. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Viscous and Aeroelastic Effects on Wind Turbine Blades. The VISCEL Project. Part II: Aeroelastic Stability Investigations

The recent introduction of ever larger wind turbines poses new challenges with regard to understanding the mechanisms of unsteady flow–structure interaction. An important aspect of the problem is the aeroelastic stability of the wind turbine blades, especially in the case of combined flap/lead–lag vibrations in the stall regime. Given the limited experimental information available in this field, the use of CFD techniques and state-of-the-art viscous flow solvers provides an invaluable alternative towards the identification of the underlying physics and the development and validation of sound engineering-type aeroelastic models. Navier–Stokes-based aeroelastic stability analysis of individual blade sections subjected to combined pitch/flap or flap/lead–lag motion has been attempted by the present consortium in the framework of the concluded VISCEL JOR3-CT98-0208 Joule III project.

Integrated dynamic modeling for energy optimization in the building: Part 1:The development of the model

Considering the magnitude of energy loss in Iran’s buildings, development of energy saving and energy optimization methods appears to be essential. To date, many energy saving methods, such as energy auditing, have been developed in this area, though none of them enjoyed high accuracy and efficiency. Optimization methods aided by energy modeling are the most useful tools for energy saving as well as energy loss reduction. In this study, a new model has been developed based on mathematical equations of mass and energy balance between different parts of a building and its surrounding area. Generally, this model integrates two methods of load and heating, ventilation and air conditioning modeling. Furthermore, the presented model allows for simulation of energy-efficient scenarios and their optimization based on life cycle cost analysis method. In this part, capabilities of the model have been closely analyzed based on historical records of existing models. The relations covering boundary conditions at external–internal surfaces; energy equations for building systems; interzone airflow and infiltration; heating, ventilation, and air conditioning models and economic models; and their optimization method and possible solutions have been explained in detail. Complete details about the application of this model for the XYZ case study building will be given in the second part of this article.
Efficient approaches for large-scale GWAS with genotype uncertainty

Abstract Association studies using genetic data from SNP-chip-based imputation or low-depth sequencing data provide a cost-efficient design for large-scale association studies. We explore methods for performing association studies applicable to such genetic data and investigate how using different priors when estimating genotype probabilities affects the association results. Our proposed method, ANGSD-asso’s latent model, models the unobserved genotype as a latent variable in a generalized linear model framework. The software is implemented in C/C++ and can be run multi-threaded. ANGSD-asso is based on genotype probabilities, which can be estimated using either the sample allele frequency or the individual allele frequencies as a prior. We explore through simulations how genotype probability-based methods compare with using genetic dosages. Our simulations show that in a structured population using the individual allele frequency prior has better power than the sample allele frequency. In scenarios with sequencing depth and phenotype correlation ANGSD-asso’s latent model has higher statistical power and less bias than using dosages. Adding additional covariates to the linear model of ANGSD-asso’s latent model has higher statistical power and less bias than other methods that accommodate genotype uncertainty, while also being much faster. This is shown with imputed data from UK Biobank and simulations.
EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF DRIVING PATTERNS AND FUEL ECONOMY FOR PASSENGER CARS IN SEOUL

There are a lot of factors that influence automotive fuel economy such as average trip time per kilometer. average trip speed. the number of times of vehicle stationary. and so forth. These factors depend on road conditions and traffic environment. In this study. various driving data were measured and recorded during road tests in Seoul. The accumulated road test mileage is around 1.300 kilometers. The objective of the study is to identify the driving patterns of the Seoul metropolitan area and to analyze the fuel economy based on these driving patterns. The driving data which was acquired through road tests was analyzed statistically in order to obtain the driving characteristics via modal analysis. speed analysis. and speed-acceleration analysis. Moreover. the driving data was analyzed by multivariate statistical techniques including correlation analysis. principal component analysis. and multiple linear regression analysis in order to obtain the relationships between influencing factors on fuel economy. The analyzed results show that the average speed is around 29,2 km/h. and the average fuel economy is 10,23 km/L The vehicle speed of the Seoul metropolitan area is slower. and the stop-and-go operation is more frequent than FTP-75 test mode which is used for emission and fuel economy tests. The average trip time per kilometer is one of the most important factors in fuel consumption. and the increase of the average speed is desirable for reducing emissions and fuel consumption.
A Vertical Array Of Directional Acoustic Sensors

A vertical line array of sixteen low-frequency DIFAR (DIrectional Frequency Analysis and Recording) sensors has been designed and constructed, and was deployed from the R/P FLIP during an engineering sea test in July, 1991. The purpose of this paper is to describe the array design, while a companion paper discusses the preliminary analysis of data from the sea test. Each DIFAR sensor consists of a hydrophone, three orthogonally mounted geophones, a compass for azimuthal orientation, 16-bit analog to digital converters, and digital telemetry. The sample rate is programmable; for the sea test it was set at 600 Hz, with an acoustic band limit of 270 Hz. In addition, the sensors have the capability of receiving array localization pulses from a transponder net on the sea floor. Using the sensor orientation and position information, the hydrophone and geophone outputs can be combined to point a beam in any desired look direction. Incorporating multiple sensors in a vertical array provides resolution in both the horizontal and vertical simultaneously.
Older patients’ and their caregivers’ understanding of advanced care planning

Purpose of review The aim of this study was to review the recent literature (2019–2021) on older patients’ and their caregivers’ understanding of advance care planning. Recent findings Recent studies highlight the continued gaps in knowledge about advance care planning for older adults with cancer and their caregivers both domestically and abroad. The recent literature also revealed that there is a lack of research methodology to assess knowledge of advance care planning reliably and validly in older adults with cancer and their caregivers given the lack of uniform scales to measure knowledge of advance care planning. Summary Older adults with cancer are at an elevated risk of death from their illness, and it is essential they understand how advance care planning can improve their quality of life, facilitate goal congruent care and ultimately decrease medical expenditures at end of life. In order to engage in a process such as advance care planning, patients must know what it is and how it can be helpful to them. The lack of understanding about advance care planning presents a significant barrier to patients engaging in the process. Public health campaigns to increase advance care planning knowledge are needed to ensure that older adults with cancer and their caregivers understand how this service can be helpful to them as they approach end of life.
Cortical Face-Selective Responses Emerge Early in Human Infancy

In human adults, multiple cortical regions respond robustly to faces, including the occipital face area (OFA) and fusiform face area (FFA), implicated in face perception, and the superior temporal sulcus (STS) and medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC), implicated in higher level social functions. When in development does face selectivity arise in each of these regions? Here, we combined two awake infant functional magnetic resonance neuroimaging (fMRI) datasets to create a sample size twice the size of previous reports (n=65 infants, 2.6-9.6 months). Infants watched movies of faces, bodies, objects, and scenes while fMRI data were collected. Despite variable amounts of data from each infant, individual subject whole-brain activations maps revealed a significant response to faces compared to non-face visual categories in the approximate location of OFA, FFA, STS, and MPFC. To determine the strength and nature of face selectivity in these regions, we used cross-validated functional region of interest (fROI) analyses. Across this larger sample size, face responses in OFA, FFA, STS, and MPFC were significantly greater than responses to bodies, objects, and scenes. Even the youngest infants (2-5 months) showed significantly face-selective responses in FFA, STS, and MPFC, but not OFA. These results demonstrate that face selectivity is present in multiple cortical regions within months of birth, providing powerful constraints on theories of cortical development. Significance Statement Social cognition often begins with face perception. In adults, several cortical regions respond robustly to faces, yet little is known about when and how these regions first arise in development. To test whether face selectivity changes in the first year of life, we combined two datasets, doubling the sample size relative to previous reports. In the approximate location of the fusiform face area (FFA), superior temporal sulcus (STS), and medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) but not occipital face area (OFA), face selectivity was present in the youngest group. These findings demonstrate that face-selective responses are present across multiple lobes of the brain very early in life.
Preparation and Characterization of DHAD/HRP 2 Co-loaded Multivesicular Liposomes

The structure of carriers play an important role in the space distribution of difierent drugs, therefore this paper studies multivesicular liposomes (MVLs), which have a unique nano-in-micro structure as possible carriers in combination therapy. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and mitoxantrone hydrochloride (DHAD) were selected as model drugs for protein and small molecule drug respectively. The results show that the MVLs are spherical and that the internal space is divided up into numerous compartments. The particle size ranged from 15 to 20 „m and the system was stable according to the zeta potentials. In vitro release studies display that the DHAD/HRP co-loaded MVLs has better sustained release proflles than one drug alone, and the MVLs exhibited an orderly release behavior which suggested that MVLs might be used as drug carriers in combination therapy applications.

The morphology of the subacromial and related shoulder bursae. An anatomical and histological study

Shoulder bursae are essential for normal movement and are also implicated in the pathogenesis of shoulder pain and dysfunction. The subacromial bursa (SAB), within the subacromial space, is considered a primary source of shoulder pain. Several other bursae related to the subcoracoid space, including the coracobrachial (CBB), subcoracoid (SCB) and subtendinous bursa of subscapularis (SSB), are also clinically relevant. The detailed morphology and histological characteristics of these bursae are not well described. Sixteen embalmed cadaveric shoulders from eight individuals (five females, three males; mean age 78.6 ± 7.9 years) were investigated using macro‐dissection and histological techniques to describe the locations, dimensions and attachments of the bursae, their relationship to surrounding structures and neurovascular supply. Bursal sections were stained with haematoxylin and eosin to examine the synovium and with antibodies against von Willebrand factor and neurofilament to identify blood vessels and neural structures respectively. Four separate bursae were related to the subacromial and subcoracoid spaces. The SAB was large, with a confluent subdeltoid portion in all except one specimen, which displayed a distinct subdeltoid bursa. The SAB roof attached to the lateral edge and deep surface of the acromion and coracoacromial ligament, and the subdeltoid fascia; its floor fused with the supraspinatus tendon and greater tubercle. The CBB (15/16 specimens) was deep to the conjoint tendon of coracobrachialis and short head of biceps brachii and the tip of the coracoid process, while the inconstant SCB (5/16 specimens) was deep to the coracoid process. Located deep to the subscapularis tendon, the SSB was a constant entity that commonly displayed a superior extension. Synovial tissue was predominantly areolar (SAB and SSB) or fibrous (CBB and SCB), with a higher proportion of areolar synovium in the bursal roofs compared to their floors. Blood vessels were consistently present in the subintima with a median density of 3% of the tissue surface area, being greatest in the SSB and SAB roofs (4.9% and 3.4% respectively) and least in the SAB floor (1.8%) and CBB roof and floor (both 1.6%). Nerve bundles and free nerve endings were identified in the subintima in approximately one‐third of the samples, while encapsulated nerve endings were present in deeper tissue layers. The extensive expanse and attachments of the SAB support adoption of the term subacromial‐subdeltoid bursa. Morphologically, the strong attachments of the bursal roofs and floors along with their free edges manifest as fixed and mobile portions, which enable movement in relation to surrounding structures. The presence of neurovascular structures demonstrates that these bursae potentially contribute blood supply to surrounding structures and are involved in mechanoreception. The anatomical details presented in this study clarify the morphology of the shoulder bursae, including histological findings that offer further insight into their potential function.
Rethinking Communication in Innovation Processes: Creating Space for Change in Complex Systems

ABSTRACT This paper systematically rethinks the role of communication in innovation processes, starting from largely separate theoretical developments in communication science and innovation studies. Literature review forms the basis of the arguments presented. The paper concludes that innovation is a collective process that involves the contextual re-ordering of relations in multiple social networks. Such re-ordering cannot be usefully understood in terms of ‘diffusing’ ready-made innovations. Hence, we need to think about communication as playing a role in innovation development and ‘design’. In such development processes, everyday communicative exchanges and self-organisation among societal agents are likely to be of critical significance in connection with the re-ordering of social relationships. In this light, the role of communication professionals and deliberate communication is often overstated or misinterpreted. Instead of striving for predefined change, communication professionals should facilitate that ‘the potential for change’ in complex dynamical settings increases. This includes efforts to enhance the survival chances of existing initiatives for change, by facilitating that they become more effectively adapted and/or linked to their dynamic selection environment than competing initiatives. This implies that communication professionals must play broader intermediary roles than before. A systematic rethinking of the role of communication in innovation processes in view of recent developments in communication sciences, innovation studies and complex systems thinking is largely absent. This paper fills a void.
