Characterisation Studies on Lipases of Brevibacterium, Bacillus and Pseudomonas Spp Produced Under Sub-Merged Fermentation of Different Carbon Sources
Authors: O A Omolade , F A Orji , G C Agu , L O Adebajo
Published: August 2022

Lipases are a class of hydrolytic enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of insoluble triacylglycerol to glycerol, acylglycerols, and free fatty acids. The present study is aimed at identifying Lipase producing bacteria isolated from soil determining the optimal conditions (temperatures, pH, and metal ion concentrations) of Lipases produced through submerged fermentation by bacteria of different three (3) genera. The different bacterial isolates with good hyper-producing potentials for Lipases were identified by Polymerase Chain Reactions (PCR). The effect of temperature on cellulase activity was determined by estimating the lipase activity at pH 9.0 within a temperature range of (300C-600C). In order to determine the behaviour of the enzymes within some metallic ions, the reaction of the enzyme and gum Arabica/olive oil mixture  was allowed to proceed at 500C with duplicate test tubes containing 50mM CaCl2 (Ca2+). MgSO4 (Mg 2+), Nacl(Na+), Kcl (K+). The identifies of the lipase producing bacteria were identified as Brevibacterium brevis strains Hk 544, Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain WES, Bacillus megaterium strain WH13, and Bacillus subtilis strain BS 01 for Isolate H, A, B and F., respectively. Optimum temperatures for the activities of Brevibacterium brevis strains Hk 544, Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain WES, Bacillus megaterium strain WH13, and Bacillus subtilis strain were determined to be 50oC, 50oC , 45oC and 45oC, respectively. Optimum pH for the activities of Brevibacterium brevis strains Hk 544, Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain WES, Bacillus megaterium strain WH13, and Bacillus subtilis strain were determined to be alkaline (8.0 to 9.0). The observation that sodium and potassium ions at 50mm concentration enhanced the activity of some of the lipases under this investigation showed that sodium and potassium are likely to be co-factors for the performance of these lipases.

Documentation after "The Guidelines"
Authors: Price David
Published: August 2022

I would ask those reading what follows to bear in mind that it was never composed as a formal piece of writing. Being prevented at short notice from attending the 7 June 1985 GOG meeting at Brighton, I hastily produced my promised talk as an audio tape recording from very skeletal notes. What resulted was no doubt a rather idiosyncratic and rhetorical performance but one in which I made a number of points that I considered to be important - even though they might be regarded by some as contentious. In these circumstances and because I was not present to answer questions, explain, defend or qualify my assertions, I have considered it more honest, rather that writing a toned-down and formalised version, simply to produce a record of what I said.
Collections & Collectors: 51. The fossil collection of C.B. Salter from Cliff Quarry, Compton Martin, Mendip Hills
Authors: Mitchell Murray
Published: August 2022

Cliff Salter made a notable contribution to geology by amassing a very large collection of fossils from the Carboniferous Limestone at Cliff Quarry (NCR ST541568), Compton Martin, in the Mendip Hills, Somerset. The fossils from this quarry have been known for a long time (e.g. Sibly 1906, p.351), but Cliff Salter's meticulous work resulted in one of the largest collections of Carboniferous Limestone fossils ever made from a single locality.
Kent's Cavern material in Bolton Museum and some related excavations data
Authors: Howell Alan C.
Published: August 2022

The excavations by William Pengelly between 1865 and 1880 at Kent's Cavern, Torquay, were a well-known episode in British Quaternary bone-cave exploration. Enormous numbers of bones and artefacts were removed from the cave system during the course of these excavations, and many of the finds were lodged in the British Museum and the Torquay Natural History Society Museum. However, some material was dispersed to other UK museums, as mentioned by Tresise (1976) and Hancock et (1976). The exact basis of these dispersals seems poorly documented but Bolton acquired its material in 1903 (Acc.No. 72.03) from W.J. Else, then curator of the Torquay Natural History Society.

A páston Othello és Jago : Nádasdy Kálmán Othello-rendezése(i) a Nemzeti Színházban
Authors: Leposa Balázs
Published: August 2022

This paper analyses the 1949 and 1954 productions of Othello in the Budapest National Theatre, in order to seek out specific manifestations of the sovietisation of theatre. The performances were directed by Kálmán Nádasdy and Tamás Major, who had access to Stanislavski’s master copy of Othello, and chose to follow the practice of the era and commissioned a new translation of the play’s text. The struggle and the changing relationship between the characters thus became a symbol for class struggle, and conseequently the reviews and the remembrance of the performances almost exclusively focused on the hierarchical relations revealed within the roles.

Effect of nano yttria-stabilized zirconia on properties of Ni-20Cr composite coatings
Authors: Singh Sukhjinder , Goyal Khushdeep , Bhatia Rakesh
Published: August 2022

In the present work, 5 wt.% and 10 wt.% yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) nanoparticles were reinforced in Ni-20Cr powder and deposited on boiler tube steel using a high-velocity oxy-fuel spraying process. The effect of YSZ reinforcement on microhardness, surface roughness and porosity was investigated. The hardness was the highest for nanocomposite coating reinforced with 10 wt.% YSZ and hardness was found to increase with a decrease in porosity. The coating microstructure and elements were characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) with an energy dispersive spectroscope (EDS). The constituents of the coating were identified using X-ray diffractometer. It was found that the composite coating with 10 wt.% YSZ reinforced nanocomposite coating has the highest microhardness, in the range of 1008-1055 hv. During the coating process, nano YSZ particles were dispersed in the gaps between the micrometric Ni-20Cr particles, providing a better coating matrix than conventional Ni-20Cr. The Ni-20Cr with 10 wt.% of YSZ nanoparticles showed better results in terms of mechanical and microstructural properties during the investigation.
Understanding the Relationship between Sexuality and Morality among Adolescents
Authors: Bajpai Prakhar , Mishra Krishna Kumar
Published: August 2022

Adolescence is a Latin word, which means “a process of growing up.” Many psychologists and sociologists consider it as a very important phase of life, as all the major sexual
orientations take place during this time of an individual. In addition, perception building
and morality are put in the form of bricks to the new base of adulthood that ultimately
gives a direction to the physical, social and psychological consequences faced in one’s
life.This paper tries to throw some light how sexuality and morality are interweave together to put an adolescent into his/her specific role which is either socially accepted or
rejected. Otherrelated factors will also be discussedas they are somehow directly or indirectly shapes the perception regarding one’s own sexuality.

Expressionism 'From' Latin America: Antecedents and New Historiographic Proposals
Authors: Frick Maria
Published: August 2022

Considering expressionism as a cultural phenomenon of international scope, we present the milestones in its historiographic approach in Latin America. The different stages of thought are reviewed, describing the proposals of some of its most significant representatives and emphasizing the conceptual changes in terms of the conception of temporal axes, the materiality of artistic discourses and their relationship with the spaces and cultural contexts in which they are produced. In particular, we identify the possibilities offered by conceptual proposals from the beginning of the twentieth century to the current notion of «simultaneous vanguards», which enables their productive activation in both modernity and postmodernity. This contribution seeks to make the Latin American contribution to transnational expressionism visible and to recover the productions that have been excluded from the debates, placing their protagonists in a scenario of international appreciation and recognition.
Nonlinear Ship Motions and Wave Induced structural Loads
Authors: Sclavounos Paul D. , Kim Yonghwan
Published: August 2022

The theoretical model and the associated computational algorithm is presented for the simulation of the linear and nonlinear motions of ships in waves of small and large steepness. The solution method is based on a three dimensional Rankine Panel Method which has been shown to be accurate, robust and efficient for the treatment of steady and unsteady potential flows past realistic ship hulls. In this article new results are presented for the seakeeping of the 5415 destroyer in waves of moderate steepness. Oblique wave seakeeping computations are presented in steep waves for the S-175 containership which confirm the importance of nonlinear effects.
Measurements of Transient Flow Induced by a Berthing Barge in a Towing Tank
Authors: Huang Erick T. , Davis Duane A. , Kim C. H. , Chen H. C.
Published: August 2022

A test program was conducted to collect essential experimental data required to validate a ship-berthing simulation model based on the Chimera RANS/free­surface technique. This technique has demonstrated a unique capability of describing critical features of the transient flow induced by a berthing ship. Validating experiments were conducted in a shallow water basin. A model barge was drawn transversely through calm water by a towing carriage toward a solid, vertical quay wall in a manner similar to a regular berthing process. The transier.t water flow induced by the moving barge was recorded with acoustic doppler velocity meters mounted on the barge and at six fixed locations within the basin. Flows leading, trailing, passing under the keel and around the ends of the barge were observed. The test parameters considered included approach speed, water depth and angle of approach. The flow pattern at the free surface was observed using floating ping-pong balls, while flow pattern at the bottom of the basin were observed using neutrally buoyant beads.

A number of noteworthy findings and observations relating to flow and reversal of flow are included in the remarks section of this paper. The model basin tests produced good comparisons between measured current velocity and water currents predicted by the simulation model. The large volume of water trailing the barge was shown to contribute significantly to the resulting berthing energy, especially in those runs where water depth was small compared to ship draft.
Experimental Investigation of Hull Lateral Force Distribution Using a Partly Captive Hydroelastic Model
Authors: Cumming David , Mackay Mike , Datta Jindra
Published: August 2022

Experiments were carried out at the Institute for Marine Dynamics to determine the distribution of lateral forces and moments on a warship hull form with the objective of eventually modeling these components in a numerical maneuvering simulation. Total forces and moments were obtained from instrumentation included in IMD's horizontal Planar Motion Mechanism, and local shear forces, bending moments, and torques were measured at five locations along the instrumented elastic backbone of the segmented model. For modeling the maneuvering characteristics, interest centered on deriving the distribution of lateral force from these measurements. The test program consisted of varying the model static yaw angle and roll angle ( drift and heel) for a range of forward speeds in calm water at deep departure and operational light conditions. In most experiments the model was free to pitch and heave; however, the model was fixed in pitch and heave in a subset of the tests for comparison.

This paper gives a general description of the model design, instrumentation, backbone calibration procedure, data collected and analysis procedure. Representative results illustrating the distribution of lateral force for a number of test conditions are provided along with some observations on their potential for modeling the maneuvering behavior of long slender vessels.
Processing of Noni Liquor based on response surface methodology
Authors: Gong Shusen , Yang Fei , Wang Qingfen , Wu Tian
Published: August 2022

Noni (Morinda citrifolia L.) is widely used as a health food and medicine because it is rich in polysaccharides, polyphenols, and flavonoids; it is precisely because noni is rich in these substances that people usually like to soak it in liquor to drink. This study sought to maximize the main active constituents (polysaccharides, polyphenols, and flavonoid s) dissolved in liquor and spirits soaked with noni fruit, using ethanol as the solvent to optimize the extraction conditions using response surface methodology. The highest polysaccharide yield of 16.35% was found at 60 °C for 3.5 h, a liquid-solid ratio of 52 mL/g, and an ethanol concentration of 25%. The optimal extraction conditions for polyphenols were 75 °C for 1.5 h, a liquid-solid ratio of 90 mL/g, and an ethanol concentration of 50%, resulting in a 10.37% yield. The optimum extraction conditions for flavonoids were 75 °C for 1 h, a liquid-solid ratio of 70 mL/g, and an ethanol concentration of 100%, with 1.35% yield. Many active ingredients, including polysaccharides, polyphenols, and flavonoids, were obtained via alcohol extraction of noni fruit, suggesting that liquor and spirits soaked with noni fruit are novel and promising types. This study provides a technical reference for the production of high-quality noni liquor. It is recommended to use the best conditions for the extract of polysaccharides, polyphenols, and flavonoids, and blending them to obtain the desired degree of alcohol.

Published: August 2022

Genital tuberculosis involving the ovary in young non-immunocompromised females is rare, and its coexistence with serous neoplasm makes it even rare and diagnostically challenging. A 32-years-old female patient, presented with primary infertility and abdominal pain. Menstrual history was unremarkable; her ultrasound (USG) abdomen revealed an anechoic cyst in left ovary with normal right ovary, uterus, and cervix. Serum Carbohydrate Antigen (CA)-125 was 226 IU/mL. Laparotomy with cystectomy was performed, and gross examination revealed a cystic lesion with a small papillaroid growth. Microscopic examination predominantly displayed large coalescing epithelioid granuloma, multinucleate giant cells, and dense inflammation. On careful examination, the sections further revealed areas of irregular glands lined by single layer of cuboidal columnar cells with homogenous chromatin and moderate eosinophilia cytoplasm. These glands were seen infiltrating the ovarian parenchyma. However, the total depth of invasion was not more than 3 mm in any area. Morphological differentials of granulomatous lesion with borderline ovarian tumour or any metastatic adenocarcinoma was made. Further immunohistochemical work-up was done and the tumour cells showed strong nuclear positivity for Wilms’ Tumor suppressor gene1 (WT1) and Paired-box gene 8 (PAX8), confirming the presence of serous ovarian lesion. As the total depth of invasion was upto 3 mm according to World Health Organisation (WHO) 2020 the lesion was classified as borderline serous neoplasm with microinvasion over shadowed by the tubercular component in the same ovary. Interestingly, both may result infertility in a young female. Above case emphasises on the importance of careful morphological assessment in delineating two different pathologies occurring in same organ which is clinically relevant.

Authors: Krishnan Arsha , Revathy Gokul Suresh
Published: August 2022

Introduction: Physical activity forms an important component of a healthy lifestyle. Inadequate physical activity is a major risk factor for non communicable diseases. It is necessary to identify the status of physical fitness of medical students who are the future professionals of healthcare. There are various parameters available to assess the physical fitness of an individual. Modified Harvard step test is a tool used for assessing cardiopulmonary fitness, which is employed in this study. Aim: To compare the physical fitness of medical students who were regular basketball players, with sedentary medical students, using cardiovascular parameters. Materials and Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Physiology, Government Medical College, Thrissur, Kerala, India, from April 2017 to April 2018. Total 60 medical students of both gender, in the age group 18-25 years, out of which 30 were athletes and 30 non athletes, were selected by simple random sampling. Physical fitness index was measured after the subjects performed modified Harvard step test. The duration of exercise and the recovery heart rates were considered. Statistical analysis was done using Chi-square test, correlation and regression tests, Independent t-test and Paired t-test, for which, p-value <0.05 was significant. Results: The mean age of the athletes was 20.97±1.69 years and non athletes was 21.40±1.42 years. Lower Body Mass Index (BMI), resting pulse rate and after exercise recovery pulse rates were found in athletes which were statistically significant (p-value <0.05). The duration of exercise and Physical Fitness Index (PFI) were found to be higher in athletes than non athletes and was statistically significant (p-value <0.001). Physical fitness was thus found to be higher in athletes compared to non athletes. Conclusion: The study indicated that students who had routine physical training had better fitness levels than sedentary students.

Room‐temperature‐operating highly sensitive mid‐wavelength infrared (MWIR) photodetectors are utilized in a large number of important applications, including night vision, communications, and optical radar. Many previous studies have demonstrated uncooled MWIR photodetectors using 2D narrow‐bandgap semiconductors. To date, most of these works have utilized atomically thin flakes, simple van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures, or atomically thin p–n junctions as absorbers, which have difficulty in meeting the requirements for state‐of‐the‐art MWIR photodetectors with a blackbody response. Here, a fully depleted self‐aligned MoS2‐BP‐MoS2 vdW heterostructure sandwiched between two electrodes is reported. This new type of photodetector exhibits competitive performance, including a high blackbody peak photoresponsivity up to 0.77 A W−1 and low noise‐equivalent power of 2.0 × 10−14 W Hz−1/2, in the MWIR region. A peak specific detectivity of 8.61 × 1010 cm Hz1/2 W−1 under blackbody radiation is achieved at room temperature in the MWIR region. Importantly, the effective detection range of the device is twice that of state‐of‐the‐art MWIR photodetectors. Furthermore, the device presents an ultrafast response of ≈4 µs both in the visible and short‐wavelength infrared bands. These results provide an ideal platform for realizing broadband and highly sensitive room‐temperature MWIR photodetectors.

Polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE) is a promising candidate for cryogenic storage and transportation materials in clean energy industry. But, how to improve its toughness without scarification other performance is still challenging. In this study, the immiscible PA11 is introduced into PCTFE matrix as toughening agent based on a strategy of enhanced interfacial effect. As the incorporation of PA11 increased from 0 to 20 wt%, the toughness of the PCTFE/PA11 shows a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, which reaches the optimal performance with 5 wt% PA11. The elongation at break and impact strength are respectively increased by ~3 and ~1.9 times without obvious reduction of other mechanical performance. Meanwhile, PA11 could enhance the primary nucleation and crystallization ability of PCTFE. With further detailed information of microstructures and Fourier infrared spectra, a multieffect synergistic toughening mechanism based on rigid particle and intermolecular interaction has been elucidated. Furthermore, the toughening of PA11 on PCTFE at ultra‐low temperature of −196°C is confirmed.
Our system of “not‐care”: Psychoanalytic perspectives on the impact of health care corporatization on patients
Authors: Rudden Marie G.
Published: August 2022

Facts about the increased corporatization of medical care in the United States are offered here in order to trace their impact on patients and their care. The culture of medicine, as it has been impacted by a corporate ethos, is also addressed, including aspects of physicians' training that make it difficult for them to empathize with their patients' struggles, and the gradual evolution of practices that view patients as isolated, impaired “organ systems” targeted for siloed treatments. Narratives from patients who report their encounters with an alienating system are discussed from a perspective that focuses on patients' resulting self‐experience. Finally, three cases of chronically ill patients who engaged in psychoanalytic treatments in the context of their experiences with “not care” are examined in depth.

Published: August 2022

Last month, I ran out of space. So this month I'm finishing my Wetterling Act summary coverage. As discussed last month, Wetterling is also known formally as Section 170101 of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, 42 U.S.C. 14071. It is prominently mentioned in the last, and newest, of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act exceptions to written consent at 34 CFR §99.31 (a)(16). Since that law is the basis for colleges to legally disclose education records about registered sex offenders, it's important for us to understand what is in it.

I didn't play team sports when I was a kid. When I got married, I acquired a nine‐year‐old stepson who played soccer. It wasn't until his daughters began to play softball at ages 4 and 9 that I had any interest in the sport. For the last six years, I have spent a considerable amount of time every spring and fall watching recreational league softball. I have learned a thing or two.
Comprehensive survey on data dissemination protocols for efficient reprogramming in Internet of Things

Published: August 2022

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a wide network of interconnected intelligent objects which can recognize the natural phenomenon of the deployed environment with the help of sensors and transmit the sensed information to other devices via internet as a backbone. Data dissemination is one of the important activities in IoT. Data dissemination is the process of updating the design framework of the sensor nodes to make the sensor nodes in IoT device to perform the intended services. Reprogramming is the process of entire change in the configuration parameters of the nodes and reconfiguration is the process of minor modification in the configuration parameter. In data dissemination, the design framework is typically disseminated through the sensor nodes to the base station using multi‐hop communication. In this article, a comprehensive survey on various dissemination approaches such as topology, reliability, scalability, structure, centralized, and de‐centralized are carried out to highlight with their advantages and limitations. Moreover, the proposed survey provides a detailed analysis on both reprogramming–related to data dissemination and reconfiguration‐related to data dissemination in order to improve the efficiency of data dissemination.
Applying a tiered environmental risk assessment framework to estimate the risk of pesticides to soil organisms in Latin America

Published: August 2022

This work investigates the application of a tiered risk assessment scheme for soil organisms based on the risk quotient (RQ) and the toxicity exposure ratio (TER). Forty-five pesticides registered in Latin America were chosen and the ecotoxicological endpoints for earthworms, Collembola, and microorganisms were collated. Tier I assessment was made on conservative assumptions in which no refinements were applied. There, 14 pesticides (31%) exceed the RQ regulatory trigger indicating unacceptable risk, whereas 27 (60%) indicate unacceptable risk on the TER approach. In a Tier II evaluation when refinement options such as foliar interception, field half-life, and the dissipation following the peak estimated environmental concentration are considered, eight (18%) pesticides indicate unacceptable risk based on the RQ, and 15 (33%) indicate unacceptable risk based on the TER. A nonmetric multidimensional scaling evaluation was performed to understand the relevant characteristics involved in how each pesticide poses a risk to soil organisms. Based on the outcome of this analysis, we observed that, for a given pesticide, the combination of high persistence, low or no crop interception, and high toxicity are likely to require higher tier risk assessment. Refinement options can consider either or both the exposure and/or the effect side of the framework. Exposure refinements are potentially simpler and can be conducted with data already available to risk assessors, whereas effect refinements involving further testing with the organisms potentially at risk are still under discussion for intermediate and higher tiers. A sensitive, simple, and logical environmental risk assessment framework can be used to adequately identify risks based on the relevant protection goals that, in turn, will help to protect the desired soil multifunctionality of the ecosystem. We encourage academia and industry to further investigate these topics to provide the most scientifically robust and evidence-based information to decision makers.

Published: August 2022

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is the major AF treatment. Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1) is related to AF diagnosis. This study explored the clinical roles of PVT1 in AF. Totally, 168 AF patients and 100 healthy controls were selected. Plasma lncRNA PVT1 in AF patients before/after RFA was detected and the diagnostic efficacy and postoperative recurrence prediction value in AF were analyzed. Effects of plasma PVT1 expression on AF recurrence and its correlation with transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF‐β1) in the recurrence and non‐recurrence groups were analyzed by Pearson coefficient. The risk factors of AF recurrence were evaluated. Plasma PVT1 was highly expressed in AF patients and diminished after RFA. PVT1 level >1.255 assisted AF diagnosis. The plasma PVT1 level in the recurrence group was higher than that of the non‐recurrence group. PVT1 level >1.525 assisted the prediction for postoperative recurrence. AF postoperative recurrence incidence in high PVT1 expression group was clearly higher than that in low PVT1 expression group, and plasma PVT1 expression in patients of the recurrence and non‐recurrence groups was positively correlated with TGF‐β1 content. High PVT1 expression was an independent risk factor for postoperative recurrence. Briefly, high PVT1 level assisted AF diagnosis and recurrence evaluation after RFA and was an independent risk factor for AF postoperative recurrence.
