Effect of adding tributyrin in diet on egg production, egg quality, and gastrointestinal tract in laying hens after peak period

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of supplementing diet with tributyrin on productive performance, egg quality and gastrointestinal tract of laying hens during the post-peak period of egg production. In total, 384 Lohmann Brown-Classic hens aged 56 weeks were used for the 16-week experiment. The hens were divided into two groups, each group consisting of 8 replications of 24 hens each. Experimental diets were supplemented with tributyrin at the level of 0.00% (control diet) and 0.05%. Tributyrin supplementation significantly increased eggshell thickness (P<0.01) and tended to increase eggshell weight (P=0.07). However, it had no significant effect on production performance, pH in each part of the gastrointestinal tract, small intestinal morphology, populations of E. coli and Lactobacillus spp. and short chain fatty acids concentrated in the caecum of laying hens. It was concluded that tributyrin supplementation in the diet improved the eggshell thickness after the peak rate of lay, although significant effects on egg production and the gastrointestinal tract were not observed. intestine.
Prognostic Significance and Predictive Factors of Lymph Node Metastasis in Resectable Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

Background: Lymph node metastasis portend a worse prognosis following resection of Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma (ICC); however, the role of lymphadenectomy is still controversial and not routinely performed. In this study, we investigated the oncologic significance and predictive factors of lymph node metastasis in patients with ICC, which can potentially influence decision making for the patient’s oncologic benefit with lymphadenectomy. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent curative-intent surgery for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma between 2001 and 2014. The data was collected from the electronic medical record database of the hospital. Results: A total of 168 patients were included in the study. Multivariable analysis revealed that: age >65 years, lymph node metastasis, tumor size >5 cm and periductal infiltrating tumor morphology, were independently associated with poor OS (P<0.05); moreover, tumor size >5 cm, periductal infiltrating tumor morphology, multiple tumor, vascular invasion, and lymph node metastasis, were independently associated with increased risk of tumor recurrence (P<0.05). The CT finding of enlarged lymph nodes and CA 19-9 >120 IU/ml were preoperative predictors for lymph node metastasis; however, the sensitivity and specificity were only 62.5% and 88.0%, respectively, to identify lymph node metastasis. Conclusion: Lymph node metastasis is associated with poor overall survival and disease-free survival following curative-intent resection in patients with ICC. node dissection for preoperatively diagnosed ICC should be recommended to properly assess the lymph node status of patients with ICC.
Decentralized control of compartmental networks with H ∞ tracking performance

—This paper studies the decentralized H ∞ control problem for a class of compartmental networks, where the controller gain matrix is required to be diagonal and elementwise restricted. To solve the problem, we ﬁrst propose a novel characterization under which the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable with a prescribed H ∞ performance. Then, a necessary and sufﬁcient condition for the existence of a required controller is obtained, and an iterative linear matrix inequality approach is developed to solve the design condition. Moreover, a D − K iteration method is presented to optimize the initial value such that the solvability of the original problem can be further enhanced. Finally, the obtained results are illustrated through an application to a simple air trafﬁc ﬂow network model.
CYTOTOXICITY SCREENING OF METHANOLIC BULB EXTRACT OF BELLICORYNE PLUMBAGINIFOLIA AGAINST VARIOUS MAMMALIAN CANCER CELL LINES

Cancer is a major public health burden in both developed and developing countries. Anticancer activity is the effect of natural and synthetic or biological and chemical agents to reverse, suppress or prevent carcinogenic progression. Several synthetic agents are used to cure the disease but they have their toxicity and hence the research is going on to investigate the plant derived chemotherapeutic agents. Therefore an attempt has been made to review different in vitro method for estimating anticancer properties of natural products from medicinal plants. In this study the anticancer potentials of plants was investigated against Dalton’s lymphoma (DL), MCF-7 and HeLa cells in vitro. Cytotoxicity of various plant extracts was determined by MTT assay. The results showed that the methanolic bulb extract of Bellicoryne plumbaginifolia possessed a moderate amount of anticancer activity and the IC 50 value was recorded. The most potent anticancer activity was observed with the methanolic bulb extract of Bellicoryne plumbaginifolia with IC 50 values of 51. 2µg/ml and 53. 1µg/ml and 48. 7µg/ml on DL, MCF-7 and HeLa cells respectively. Phytochemical analyses revealed the presence of large amount of alkaloids and flavonoids in the potent plant extracts which may be suggested to play an important role in their anticancer activities. The methanolic extract would be studied further for isolation and characterization of active components for lead optimization studies.

Modeling Handover Latency in PMIPv6-based Protocols with Timed Petri Nets

—Performance evaluation of networking protocols is generally related to metrics like latency, signaling overhead, packet loss, throughput, among others. Speciﬁcally for latency modeling, most of analytical modeling techniques involve considering the handover latency as a sum of all delays of each signaling message in the handover. However, it may not reﬂect the reality of various protocols based on Proxy Mobile Internet Protocol version 6 (PMIPv6), which may consider asynchronous and parallel messages. Petri Nets are state-transition systems capable of expressing parallelism, synchronization, and allowing evaluation of properties of the systems modeled. The Timed Petri Net extension can additionally express time elapsing, which makes it a powerful tool for performance evaluation. This paper proposes to employ Timed Petri Nets to model PMIPv6-based protocols, and, therefore, to bring attention to the main advantages of this formalism for performance evaluation.
Non Classical Design in MOSFETs for Improving OTA gain-bandwidth trade off

In this paper, gain-bandwidth (GB) trade-off associated with analog device/circuit design due to conflicting requirements for enhancing gain and cutoff frequency is examined. It is demonstrated that the use of a nonclassical source/drain (S/D) profile (also known as underlap channel) can alleviate the GB trade-off associated with analog design. Operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) with 60 nm underlap S/D MOSFETs achieve 15 dB higher open loop voltage gain along with three times higher cutoff frequency as compared to OTA with classical nonunderlap S/D regions. Underlap design provides a methodology for scaling analog devices into the sub-100 nm regime and is advantageous for high temperature applications with OTA, preserving functionality up to 540 K. Advantages of underlap architecture over graded channel (GC) or laterally asymmetric channel (LAC) design in terms of GB behavior are demonstrated. Impact of transistor structural parameters on the performance of OTA is also analyzed. Results show that underlap OTAs designed with spacer-to-straggle ratio of 3.2 and operated below a bias current of 80 A demonstrate optimum performance. The present work provides new opportunities for realizing future ultra wide band OTA design with underlap DG MOSFETs in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology.
Medicine Hypertension

Elevation of the systemic blood pressure remains one of the commonest chronic diseases in westernized populations, and is emerging as a major health problem in the developing world. Despite a large volume of research into both the pathophysiology and the epidemiology of hypertension, the basic underlying cause remains obscure. It is generally held that the elevation of blood pressure is secondary to raised total peripheral resistance, which in turn is caused by narrowing of the lumen of the peripheral arterioles, which are the main resistance vessels. ' The resultant elevation of pressure in the larger capacitance vessels is then associated with an increased risk ofdamage to large vessels, mainly in the form of occlusive vascular disease. Thus, hypertension is a major cause of both haemorrhagic and infarctive strokes and is I of 3 important risk factors for coronary heart disease. Elevated pressure is closely related to the development of left ventricular hypertrophy and, at extreme levels, to cardiac failure. In addition, hypertension is intimately related to the deterioration ofrenal function in patients with pre-existing intrinsic renal disease, although there remains some doubt whether hypertension causes renal damage in previously undiseased kidneys.2 Furthermore, hypertension and its sequelae are major factors in the prognosis of both insulin-dependent and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. The as yet unknown aetiology of hypertension is in sharp contrast to the large volume of information on the benefits of reducing blood pressure in terms of the prevention of premature strokes and, to a lesser extent, coronary heart disease. Here at least clinical research into hypertension has provided clear information relevant to practically all branches of medicine. The purpose of this review is mainly to discuss recent advances in the epidemiological and clinical aspects of hypertension with comments on the impact of these new data on the practice of medicine in both a primary and secondary health-care setting. This is preceded, however, by a brief review of some of the most recent research into the elusive basic underlying mechanisms.
A Novel Approach for Classification and Detection of Attacks in Network Intrusion Detection System Using ANN

--Now a day there is drastic dependency on the internet in every sector like private, government etc. For protecting these networks from attacks is very crucial task. A single intrusion in a computer network can lead to loss of data or unauthorized use or modification of personal data. There are many methods and algorithm to detect attacks, most of the methods detects attacks and categorized it in two groups, Normal or Intrusion. A new approach to intrusion detection (ID) is based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN). This uses Multi layer Back Propagation algorithm (MLBP) to detect denial of service, probe attacks, user to root and root to local attack based on the features which are stored in the Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) 99 database. The proposed system not only detect attacks but also classify them in six groups with the accuracy of identifying and classifying network activity based on limited, incomplete, and nonlinear data sources. In comparison with existing systems, the proposed system gives detection rate up to 90.43%. Although these results are theoretical but for improving the efficiency, ANN based IDS gives high performance rate than other existing systems.
Comparative studies of coagulation in a batch and continuous mode systems

: Coagulation studies were carried out simultaneously in a batch and continuous mode systems. Four coagulants of varied properties were used. Both test procedures contained the same process phases (rapid mixing, ﬂ occulation, sedimentation) and a corresponding coagulant dosage range (1.7–3.3 gAl/m 3 ). In the batch mode test, the raw water composition was stable, while in the continuous mode test it was subject to changes resulting from natural variation in source water properties. The main process effectiveness measures were: color, absorbance at 254 nm, and dissolved organic carbon content. Studies in the batch mode system showed clear linear relationships between coagulant dosage and effectiveness of analyzed water contamination indicators values reduction. Tests in ﬂ ow conditions con ﬁ rmed the relationships found in the batch test, albeit with lesser agreement with a linear effectiveness – coagulant dosage model. Due to a comparison of coagulation results from both test systems, it was possible to determine the relationships between coagulation effectiveness obtained in continuous and batch mode systems. The linear relationships obtained show a dependence on current raw water properties and the type of coagulant used. However, in many cases, these relationships do not differ signi ﬁ cantly as with respect to analyzed water quality
Towards English to Arabic Machine Translation

: Nowadays, the understanding and generation of cognitive processes of natural language are becoming easier and better understood to perform machine translation. In this paper, we develop a system of machine translation to translate from English to Arabic, which runs on PC compatibles with English/Arabic interface. The system task was to analyze the natural language of English and Arabic to get accurate translation based on reordering per sentence at least one time. It based on identifying the Part Of Speech (POS) for each word in sentence from English dictionary, which used for reordering purpose. English dictionary also used to translate single word based on finding word meaning relative to categories (POS). The transfer of English words order in sentence from English structure to Arabic structure based on synchronize words between English and Arabic that based on matching between both language rules grammar. The meaning of words in sentences get from Bi-lingual dictionary that used to translate single word consists of only word meaning relative to categories (POS). This system applies on abstracts from European Psychiatry Journal domain that includes twenty (20) abstracts containing ninety five (95) sentences. The result obtained shows that the reordering rules is 81.9% accuracy on a translation from English Language to Arabic using abstracts from the European Journal of Psychiatry.
Cardiovascular Disease and Atherosclerosis Clinical Features and Outcome of Acute Coronary Syndrome in Patients Presenting to the Emergency Department in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Aim: To assess the clinical features, identify risk factors; describe the management and outcome of patients who present with ACS in EDs in Addis, Ababa, Ethiopia Methods: A multicentre prospective cross-sectional study was carried out from September 21, 2018 to July 1, 2019 among patients >18 years old presenting to the ED with ACS. Results: 40 patients were enrolled during the study period. Majority of them were males (72.5%). The average age of patients affected is 58.03 + 11.831 years. The commonest presentations were easy fatigability (92.5%) followed by chest pain and diaphoresis 77.5%. Of those who had chest pain, most (45%) expressed it as squeezing and severe in quality (40%). 65% had radiation mostly to the arms(35%) followed by the shoulder(27.5%). The mean duration of illness prior to presentation to the ED of the study area was 4.41+2.83. The commonest risk factors identified were hypertension (60%) and type 2 DM (57.5%). STEMI was the major type of MI identified (67.5%) with 30% in Killip class I. NSTEMI was seen in 17.5% and Unstable angina in 15%. Heart failure was the commonest complication at presentation. The commonest echocardiography finding was wall hypokinesis (67.5%) followed by decreased Ejection fraction (37.5%). Patients with STEMI had higher increase in the cardiac markers than NSTEMI. None of the patients received thrombolytic/fibrinolytic. PCI was done for 42.5% with only 15% done as primary PCI. Most patients (70%) stayed in the ED for more than 24 hours up to 7days. Death within 7 days of admission to the hospital while in patient occurred in 10%. The live discharge rate was 90%. Conclusion: Patients present very late to the Emergency department; most of them with STEMI with heart failure as the commonest complication upon presentation. They then stay in the emergency department for prolonged period of time in limited technical facilities which pose major difficulties of their management and subsequently poorer quality of life.

Mini-Review Is Diabetes Associated with Infection?

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most common disorders in the elderly and is correlated with considerable morbidity and mortality that majority of them are cardiovascular and renal complications. Moreover, common perception correlates diabetes with a generally increased susceptibility to infectious disorders, although epidemiologic evidence that would approve this are surprisingly scarce. However, it seems to be established that diabetes is susceptible to certain types of infection and death thereof, but it is less well known if metabolic problems in diabetes itself, associated hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia or diabetes-associated comorbidities provide the association between diabetes and susceptibility to infectious diseases. In this review, I will discuss about recent published studies on the incidence and risk for infectious diseases in diabetic patients and give a comprehensive overview of the molecular process that has been proposed to explain the potentially disturbed immune response to pathogens in subjects with diabetes.
Research on coordinated development between metropolitan economy and logistics using big data and Haken model

To quantitatively study the relationship and mutual effects between metropolitan economy and logistics is an important, yet pending issue, which can scientifically guide the urban planning and investment. Through the identified evaluation indexes of metropolitan logistics and economic development, this paper first builds up an evaluation process model of metropolitan economic and logistics development, based on big data analytics (BDA), the entropy evaluation method, and the maximum deviation method. BDA can help extract the exact data about the indicators of metropolitan economy and logistics. Then a Haken model is adopted to ravel out the dynamic co-evolutionary law of economy and logistics in five Chinese cities, which complements the above static evaluation. The results show that the economic development is an order parameter and plays a key role in the coordinated development of metropolitan logistics and economy. However, from 2013 to 2014, these five cities had not established an orderly evolved positive-feedback mechanism through which economic development promotes the coordinated development of metropolitan logistics and economic development.

Considerations for post-lethality treatments to reduce Listeria monocytogenes from fully cooked bologna using ambient and pressurized steam

During processing of ready-to-eat (RTE) deli meats, any secondary processing procedures such as peeling and cutting introduce the distinct possibility of cross-contamination between equipment, personnel, and food. To eliminate or reduce pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes and ensure food safety, RTE deli meats can be pasteurized prior to or after packaging. In this study, ambient steam in-package pasteurization was compared with pressurized steam prepackaging pasteurization to reduce L. monocytogenes from fully cooked RTE bologna. The bologna (14 cm diameter (cid:1) 1.5cm thickness) samples were surface-inoculated to contain about 8log 10 of L. monocytogenes . To achieve 2 log reductions for L. monocytogenes , the bologna samples needed to be treated for about 10s in pressurized steam at 131 1 C or for about 2.5 min in ambient steam at 100 1 C. The pasteurization time using pressurized steam treatment was about 75–90% shorter than using ambient steam treatment. Pressurized steam treatment may be integrated into a vacuum packaging unit to effectively eradicate L. monocytogenes from RTE meats just prior to sealing the retail packages to further reduce the treatment time, avoid post-treatment recontaminations by pathogens, and improve food safety without detrimentally affecting meat quality.
Smart manufacturing: Characteristics, technologies and enabling factors

The purpose of this article is to collect and structure the various characteristics, technologies and enabling factors available in the current body of knowledge that are associated with smart manufacturing. Eventually, it is expected that this selection of characteristics, technologies and enabling factors will help compare and distinguish other initiatives such as Industry 4.0, cyber-physical production systems, smart factory, intelligent manufacturing and advanced manufacturing, which are frequently used synonymously with smart manufacturing. The result of this article is a comprehensive list of such characteristics, technologies and enabling factors that are regularly associated with smart manufacturing. This article also considers principles of “semantic similarity” to establish the basis for a future smart manufacturing ontology, since it was found that many of the listed items show varying overlaps; therefore, certain characteristics and technologies are merged and/or clustered. This results in a set of five defining characteristics, 11 technologies and three enabling factors that are considered relevant for the smart manufacturing scope. This article then evaluates the derived structure by matching the characteristics and technology clusters of smart manufacturing with the design principles of Industry 4.0 and cyber-physical systems. The authors aim to provide a solid basis to start a broad and interdisciplinary discussion within the research and industrial community about the defining characteristics, technologies and enabling factors of smart manufacturing.
Multi‐level inverter with combined T‐type and cross‐connected modules

This study presents a new topology of switched-capacitor (SC) multilevel inverter, which is able to step-up input DC voltage to a multilevel AC waveform. This single source inverter is designed based on series connection of the capacitors that charged by input DC sources through a SC network. The proposed modular inverter uses famous T and cross-connected modules that can be simply extended to higher output voltages without increasing the amount of total standing voltage and peak inverse voltage of switches. It generates positive and negative voltage levels inherently, which eliminates requirements of H-bridge inverters that are traditionally used to achieve a bipolar output voltage. Analysis shows that the voltage stress on components, cost, efficiency and losses are kept in acceptable range especially for higher-voltage levels. Capacitor's voltage self-balancing is another inherent advantage of this modular topology which leads to simplify control strategy and eliminate excess balancing circuit. Performance of a six-step proposed structure is evaluated by theoretical analysis, simulation and experimental results.
