Decline quality of Tuna as a result of abuse temperature and long shelf life time. Histamine, microbial and sensory odours become one of the global problems that can cause health problems. Large number of bacteria dominated in viscera area rather than other fish parts. This study was conducted to determine the effect of storage temperature on histamine, microbial and sensory odours on middle of Yellowfin Tuna. This study used descriptive explorative method, sampel were periodically taken for analyses at intervals 48 hours (0ºC), 8 hours (10ºC) and 4 hours (25ºC). Yellowfin Tuna was rejected earlier by the sensory odours than TPC and histamine. During storage at 0ºC for 720 hours histamine levels still acceptable for consumption however TPC already exceeded the limit after 672 hours and rejected by sensory odours for 624 hours storage. During storage at temperature 10ºC did not reached the limit for 120 hours while TPC value already reached 2x106 cfu/g for 88 hours storage and rejected by sensory odours for 72 hours storage. During storage at temperature 25ºC histamine reached 67.3 ppm for 32 hours, ALT reached 5.5x105 cfu/g for 24 hours and rejected by sensory odour for 20 hours of storage. Histamine formation correlates with the growth of microbial counts and decrease of sensory odours value. Suhu yang tinggi dalam waktu simpan lama berpengaruh terhadap penurunan kualitas ikan tuna. Histamin, mikroba dan bau busuk menjadi salah satu permasalahan global yang dapat menyebabkan masalah kesehatan. Bagian tengah ikan menjadi sumber bakteri paling tinggi dibandingkan bagian lainnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji perkembangan histamin, ALT dan sensori bau pada bagian tengah Tuna sirip kuning dalam penyimpanan suhu yang berbeda. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif eksploratif, sample di analisis secara berkala pada suhu 0ºC (48 jam), 10ºC (8 jam) dan 25ºC (4 jam). Tuna sirip kuning mengalami pembusukan lebih awal berdasarkan parameter sensori bau, kemudian disusul ALT dan Histamin. Kandungan histamine pada suhu 0ºC masih layak untuk dikonsumsi setelah 720 jam, namun nilai ALT melebihi batas aman setelah 672 jam penyimpanan dan nilai sensori bau setelah 624 jam penyimpanan. Penyimpanan suhu 10ºC tidak menyebabkan peningkatan histamin melebihi batas limit setelah penyimpanan selama 120 jam, sedangkan nilai ALT mencapai 2x106 cfu/g setelah 88 jam dan nilai sensori bau menyatakan ikan busuk setelah penyimpanan selama 72 jam. Penyimpanan suhu 25ºC histamin mencapai 67,3 ppm setelah penyimpanan 32 jam dan nilai ALT 5,5x105 cfu/g pada penyimpanan ke 24 jam serta ikan dinyatakan busuk berdasarkan sensori bau setelah 20 jam penyimpanan. Peningkatan histamin berkorelasi dengan pertumbuhan jumlah mikroba dan penurunan nilai sensori bau.

Published: August 2020

Background: The objective of this study is to determine whether there is an association between periodontitis and obesity among adults involved in this study.

Methods: In 2018, 200 subjects, > 19 years of age, who participated in this study were selected for analysis from the Department of Periodontology, Government Dental College and Hospital Ahmedabad. Participants underwent periodontal examination and anthropometric measurements and were asked to complete a socioeconomic status and overall health status questionnaire. Body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) have been used as overall body fat and upper body fat measurements. As established by the World Health Organization (WHO), standard BMI and WC cut off points were used. The Community Periodontal Index assessed the periodontal status and defined periodontitis as "code 3". Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed, adjusting to the following variables: sex; age; household income; bedtime toothbrushing habits; use of dental floss; use of interproximal toothbrush; presence of active tooth decay; number of permanent teeth decayed, missing or filled; diabetes mellitus and smoking status.

Results: It was found that an association exit between periodontitis and high WC using the cut off points established by the WHO. Obese individuals with BMI average 25 had an adjusted odds ratio of 0.991 (0.806 to 1.220) for periodontitis. But it was found that a significant association between periodontitis and abdominal obesity. The adjusted odds ratio for periodontitis for obese subjects was 1.358 (confidence interval 1.003 to 1.839) after adjustment for all covariates.

Conclusions: A high WC denoting abdominal obesity was found to be associated to periodontitis, while BMI which often tends to misclassify as obese does not, appears to be associated with periodontitis. This finding shows a significant correlation between abdominal obesity and periodontitis.

Creutzfeld -Jacob Disease (CJD) is a rare type of neurodegenerative disease caused due to prion disease and is rapidly progressive and fatal. It is usually suspected based on the typical presenting symptoms, most important symptom being rapidly progressive dementia. Cases with atypical presentation are usually missed due to low clinical suspicion.
We present a case report of a 64-year-old male who presented with worsening cerebellar ataxia and only mild dementia.MRI done to rule out any organic cause, revealed classic findings of CJD.Following this EEG was performed. MRI helped in clinching the diagnosis in this case of low clinical suspicion. This was an extremely rare variant of CJD-the brownell openheimer variant.(1)
A CLINICAL STUDY ON MATERNALAND PERINATAL OUTCOME OF MULTIPLE PREGNANCIES IN PATNA MEDICAL COLLEGE & HOSPITAL, PATNA, BIHAR
Authors: Kumari Ritu , Sinha Anjana , Jana Debarshi
Published: August 2020

The occurrence of two or more foetuses simultaneously in the uterus is referred to as multiple pregnancy. Teleologically, multiple pregnancy in humans can be regarded as an atavistic trait to which the mother is not optimally suited, with consequent increase in the risks for both the foetuses and the mother. The past few years have shown a considerable rise in the incidence of multiple pregnancies largely attributed to the advent of assisted reproduction, use of ovulation inducing drugs and an increased trend towards delayed child bearing. This cross –sectional study was carried out to find the maternal and perinatal outcome in multiple pregnancies in Patna Medical College and Hospital, Patna, Bihar over a period of July 2018 to April 2019. The incidence of multiple pregnancies was found to be 1.27%.53.6% cases were booked and 43.6% were unbooked. Preterm labour was the commonest complication (74.2%), anaemia being the second most common (45.16%). The maternal morbidity was higher in caesarean section than in vaginal delivery. There was one case of maternal mortality due to septicaemia and peritonitis with severe PIH, who underwent LSCS due to prolong labour and retained second twin. Judicious use of assisted reproductive technology including ovulation induction can reduce the incidence of multiple pregnancies. Proper antenatal care, health education, prevention of preterm birth, better facilities for premature babies, skilled obstetrician and anaesthetist can improve the maternal and perinatal outcome in multiple pregnancy. As such early detection of multiple pregnancies is an important parameter which enables proper antenatal care and subsequent delivery.

Authors: Doshad Arjun S , Bisht Ravindra Singh , Sharma Nitin , Shah Amit
Published: August 2020

Background: Type III tympanoplasty involves complete disease clearance from middle ear cleft and retaining or improving the serviceable hearing by ossiculoplasty. Various auto and allografts have been used with variable outcomes. The objective of the study was to evaluate hearing improvement in patients who underwent type III tympanoplasty using autologous incus and tragal cartilage as ossiculoplasty material.
Method: A retrospective chart review of 30 patients who underwent type III tympanoplasty at medical college Srinagar Pauri Garhwal from January 2019 to December 2019 was done. In 10 patients autologous incus and in 20 tragal cartilage was used for ossiculoplasty.
Those patients who required wall down were excluded from the study and only patient with limited atticotomy and complete mastoidectomy requiring type III tympanoplasty were included in the study. Pure tone audiograms done after 3 months were compared with the pre operative audiogram.
Result: 10 patients who underwent type three tympanoplsty with use of autologous incus for ossiculoplasty had a mean hearing gain of 17.08dB and 20 pateint underwent type three tympanoplasty with use of tragal cartilage for ossiculoplasty had mean hearing gain of 18.26 dB at 3 months after surgery. Hearing gain was similar in both groups irrespective of the material used.
The tragal cartilage was used as strut extending from stapes head to the anteroinferior part of annulus supporting the graft throughout and additionally helping in maintaining the middle ear space.
Conclusion: The post-operative hearing gain with autologous incus and tragal cartilage as middle ear prosthesis are similar but the additional role of cartilage supporting the graft and maintaining the middle ear space overrule the use of tragal cartilage for ossiculoplasty in type three tympanoplasty. So by this study we recommend the use of tragal cartilage as ossiculoplasty material for type III tympanoplasty over other material.

CAN FIBROSCAN + FIB -4 SCORE BE USED AS A RELIABLE PREDICTOR FOR PRESENCE OF ESOPHAGEALAND GASTRIC VARICES IN NEWLY DIAGNOSED LIVER CIRRHOSIS? – USEFULNESS IN COVID-19 ERA.
Authors: Reddy Boojala Avinash , Jayakrishnan Jayakumar , Mohamed Kani Shaikh
Published: August 2020

Background: Variceal bleeding is the most dangerous complication of liver cirrhosis. Endoscopy is recommended for diagnosis and surveillance of esophageal and gastric varices. We used a non-invasive scoring method of severity of liver disease and examined whether it can reliably predict the presence and severity of varices.
Methods: Study was carried over a period of 12 months including all cirrhosis patients. Fibroscan and FIB-4 score were used to formulate a non-invasive score and compared with endoscopic findings
Results: The presence of varices and its severity correlated with Fibroscan+FIB-4 score. Higher the score, higher the likelihood of varices requiring endoscopic intervention. A score of >6 can be used as cut off to stratify patients requiring endoscopy.
Conclusions: Fibroscan + FIB-4 score can be reliably used as a marker of presence of varices, the severity and chances of bleeding from varices. This can be of importance in the present Covid-19 pandemic, where in upper GI endoscopic procedures carry the highest rate of infection to healthcare workers and patients.
Ocean Current Turbine Power Maximization: A Spatiotemporal Optimization Approach
Authors: Tang Yufei
Published: August 2020

This paper presents a novel spatiotemporal optimization approach for maximizing the output power of an ocean current turbine (OCT) under uncertain ocean velocities. In order to determine output power, ocean velocities and the power consumed and generated by an OCT system are modeled. The stochastic behavior of ocean velocities is a function of time and location, which is modeled as a Gaussian process. The power of the OCT system is composed of three parts, including generated power, power for maintaining the system at an operating depth, and power consumed for changing the water depth to reach the maximum power. Two different algorithms, including model predictive control (MPC) as a model-based method and reinforcement learning (RL) as a learning-based method, are proposed to design the optimization structure, and comparative studies are presented. On one hand, the MPC based controller is faster in finding the optimal water depth, while the RL is also computationally feasible considering the required time for changing operating depth. On the other hand, the cumulative energy production of the RL algorithm is higher than the MPC method, which verifies that the learning-based RL algorithm can provide a better solution to address the uncertainties in renewable energy systems. Results verify the efficiency of both presented methods in maximizing the total power of an OCT system, where the total harnessed energy after 200 hours shows an over 18% increase compared to the baseline.
Indirect NRDF for Partially Observable Gauss-Markov Processes with MSE Distortion: Complete Characterizations and Optimal Solutions
Authors: Stavrou Fotios , Skoglund Mikael
Published: August 2020

In this paper we study the problem of characterizing and computing the nonanticipative rate distortion function (NRDF) for partially observable multivariate Gauss-Markov processes with hard mean squared error (MSE) distortion constraints. For the finite time horizon case, we first derive the complete characterization of this problem and its corresponding optimal realization which is shown to be a linear functional of the current time sufficient statistic of the past and current observations signals. We show that when the problem is strictly feasible, it can be computed via semidefinite programming (SDP) algorithm. For time-varying scalar processes with average total MSE distortion we derive an optimal closed form expression by means of a dynamic reverse-waterfilling solution that we also implement via an iterative scheme that convergences linearly in finite time, and a closed-form solution under pointwise MSE distortion constraint. For the infinite time horizon, we give necessary and sufficient conditions to sure that asymptotically the sufficient statistic process of the observation signals achieves a steady-state solution for the corresponding covariance matrices and impose conditions that allow existence of a time-invariant solution. Then, we show that when a finite solution exists in the asymptotic limit, it can be computed via SDP algorithm. We also give strong structural properties on the characterization of the problem in the asymptotic limit that allow for an optimal solution via a reverse-waterfilling algorithm that we implement via an iterative scheme that converges linearly under a finite number of spatial components. Subsequently, we compare the computational time needed to execute for both SDP and reverse-waterfilling algorithms when these solve the same problem to show that the latter is a scalable optimization technique. Our results are corroborated with various simulation studies and are also compared with existing results in the literature.
Novel Technique for Noninvasive Detection of Localized Dynamic Brain Signals by Using Transcranial Static Magnetic Fields
Authors: Hiwaki Osamu
Published: August 2020

Conventional
techniques for noninvasive measurement of brain function such as
electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), functional magnetic
resonance imaging (fMRI), and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) have
critical limitations of spatial or temporal resolution. Here, we developed a novel technique which
enables the precise measurement of dynamic brain signals and localized
identification of active brain regions. In this technique, termed as
magnetically biased field (MBF), human brain signal is measured as the
fluctuation of a transcranial static magnetic field emitted by a coil placed on
the scalp. The validity of MBF was confirmed by the measurement of
somatosensory evoked signals. Fast somatosensory evoked
signals were successfully observed. Localized maximum positive and negative
deflections appeared at the region which represents the right primary
somatosensory area contralateral to the stimulated hand. The ability of MBF to
detect dynamic brain activity precisely can have numerous applications such as

The study is done for assessment of Rooftop Rain Water Harvesting (RRWH) for non potable uses in a humid urban catchment. In this study, an user response survey was conducted, with 390 sample size, in five types of building uses; Residential, Educational, Medical, Institutional and mixed use Commercial, with variable roof sizes and situated in four different zones of KMA, having wide variation in piped water supply. A database of 32 years of daily rainfall data has been analyzed , in order to find out demand for different end uses for various building, supply from roof runoff, demand supply ratio, priority of different socio-economic factors for each type of building using AHP analysis, user’s opinion on choice of end-use using regression analysis and finally developed a DSS model. Analysis also revealed that the highest acceptance of RRWH are in favor of the Medical uses building, the lowest being mix-Commercial building. Further factors like toilet flushing is found to be most potential end use options, followed by landscaping and cleaning. The regression model clearly show that the variables like ground condition, scale of development, degree of contact, storey’s of building and water scarcity are key to decision making.

Sugar hydrolysis and colour formation in processing
Authors: de Bruijn Jan Maarten
Published: August 2020

The stability of the sucrose molecule throughout processing is of the utmost importance, because in principle any sugar loss will increase the production costs per tonne of the obtained white sugar. Colour in processing is an important technological parameter too, since only an adequate colour control in processing allows the cost-effective production of white sugar crystals of the required quality. For process control of both sugar hydrolysis and colour formation it is necessary to understand the effect of pH value, temperature and retention time on these phenomena. This paper will describe the possible causes of sugar hydrolysis and colour, as well as how to control pH values and temperature in processing in order to limit the technological impact of both reactions in which invert sugar plays a central role.

Published: August 2020

The Ferrari Sugar Mill tandem in Brazil is fully automated with variable speed for all the drives involved. The mills’ rollers are individually moved by electro-hydraulic drives (including the fourth roller in mill one), thus offering a great advantage to automate the mill in a very accurate way and to also measure the speed and torque in each of the rollers driven. The speeds and the torque of each roller of five four rollers mills tandem were registered continuously, providing information on the power consumed in each roller, in each mill and in the whole tandem. The laboratory results were analyzed at the same time and the power consumption in the mills against the tonnage of fibre extracted was reported. Special attention was given to the possibility of changing the speed ratio of the fourth roll in relation to the top roll and measure the torque and power consumption, looking for the additional advantages of the corresponding individual drive. The operational results of the milling section of the factory were good, considering the size, number of mills and the crushing rate. Also, the power consumption in the mills was excellent for these conditions. The advantage of using the individual drive for the fourth roller in mill number one was clearly observed during the season and the factory decided to drive all the fourth rollers individually in the near future.
