Authors: Das Pranjal Pratim , Medhi Tapas 
Published: March 2018

Endophytes are microorganisms presents within plant in asymptomatic manner and often act as a reservoir of novel bioactive secondary metabolites having antimicrobial, anti-insect and other beneficial properties. In absence of any reports on the presence of endophyte and their possible metabolic role in the process of infestation of tea plants (Camellia sinensis L.) by tea mosquito bug (Halopeltis theivora Waterhouse), the present study was undertaken to trace and isolate them from tea leaves for their molecular characterisation based on 16S rRNA sequencing. In this process, four endophytic bacteria have been identified as Brachybacterium sp. strain TMCS1, Bacillus pumilus strain TMCS2, Moraxella osloensis strain TMCS3 and Moraxella osloensis strain TMCS4 from the 2nd leaf of a young flash of C. sinensis (TV22 clone) which will enable us to study their culturable properties and role as biocontrol agents.

El embarazo en adolescentes es una de las problemáticas más frecuentes en la población dominicana. Según el Fondo de Población de las Naciones Unidas (UNFPA), la República Dominicana está entre los cinco países de América Latina con mayor número de embarazos prematuros, con una tasa de natalidad en jóvenes entre 15 y 19 años del 20,5%, en 20151. Numerosos estudios han concluido que los factores sociodemográficos tienen una gran influencia en el embarazo precoz; debido a la falta de esfuerzos para realizar campañas nacionales de educación sexual, es preocupante la cantidad de adolescentes, principalmente entre 13 y 19 años, que quedan embarazadas, desconociendo los grandes riesgos que esto supone.En este trabajo, analizamos el perfil sociodemográfico de las adolescentes embarazadas asistidas en una unidad de atención integral de un hospital de Santo Domingo, República Dominicana, durante el período febrero-abril de 2017, mediante un estudio prospectivo, descriptivo y de corte transversal, en el que se analizaron las características sociales implicadas en el embarazo temprano, a partir de una muestra de 130 adolescentes embarazadas. El estudio indicó que la edad más frecuente en la que se presenta el embarazo adolescente fue 19 años, con un 34.6%. Del mismo modo, se determinó que más de la mitad de las muestras se encontraban en un estado de unión libre (53%), equivalente a 69 casos; además, el sector más frecuente fue Villa Mella, con un 18.5%; y más del 80% de las pacientes tenía seguro de salud público subsidiado por el gobierno.

Published: March 2018

La galactosemia es una ocurrencia rara debido a la falla del metabolismo del azúcar galactosa en la ruta de Leloir, usada por el cuerpo para transformar D-galactosa a D-glucosa 1 fosfato, para lo cual requiere la participación de las enzimas GALK1, GALT y GALE. El gen que codifica la enzima galactosa 1 fosfato uridil transferasa (GaLT) se localiza en el cromosoma 9p13. Es la primera enzima identificada en este trastorno y también es la causa más común de galactosemia tipo I y/o galactosemia clásica (OMIM No. 230400). En este trabajo presentamos el caso de un niño de un año y tres meses de edad que, después de tres meses de vida, fue hospitalizado en varias ocasiones a causa de infecciones del tracto urinario y neumonía.Al año de edad presentó anemia severa, desnutrición marasmática, retraso motor, opacidad del cristalino bilateral y hepatomegalia de 7 cm por debajo del reborde costal derecho.
ANALYSIS OF POSSIBLE CAUSES AND MECHANISMS OF DESTRUCTION OF BUILDING STRUCTURES

In order to better understand the wave properties of the Timoshenko equation, the derivation of the refined equation from the equations of the plane elasticity problem for a long band is carried out. The simple iterations method is used for the derivation. It includes known methods: the semi-inverse method of Saint-Venant and Picard operator. In accordance with the semi-inverse method, a part of the unknowns is defined, which are interpreted as the values of the initial (zero) approximation. Proceeding from them, a sequential computation is carried out using a sequence of the four Picard operators in such a way that the outputs of the one operator are the inputs for the next. Calculating in this way all the unknowns in the zeroth approximation by the direct integration over the transverse coordinate, the values of the initial approximation are calculated in the first approximation. These quantities are small of the second order with respect to the dimensionless thickness. Expressions for the unknowns are obtained as power functions of the transverse coordinate and as a function of the deriva-tives along the longitudinal coordinate. By the Banach fixed point theorem, the computation process is asymptot-ically convergent one. After this, boundary conditions on the long sides are satisfied by means of the derivatives of the arbitrariness, depending only on the longitudinal coordinate. This gives us the ordinary differential equations for the determination of these arbitrary functions. In turn, the integration constants of the last equations can be found from the conditions on the short sides of the strip. The ordinary differential equations are split into equations for slowly varying and quickly varying quantities. The slowly changing values give the classical solu-tion of the beam oscillations. The quickly varying solutions give the perturbed solutions describing high-frequency oscillations and singularly perturbed wave solutions for time-concentrated effects. Some of these soluions are absent in the Timoshenko equation. It is assumed that the selected shear waves provoke in the buildings subjected to the rapid impacts (shock by airplane, explosions, and seismic movements of the base) the interruptions of interlayers between the floors and subsequent progressive collapse.

OBJECTIVE
Insulin resistance and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease have been linked to several lipid metabolites in animals, but their role in humans remains unclear. This study examined the relationship of sphingolipids with hepatic and peripheral metabolism in 21 insulin-resistant obese patients without (NAFL−) or with (NAFL+) nonalcoholic fatty liver and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and 7 healthy lean individuals undergoing tissue biopsies during bariatric or elective abdominal surgery.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps with d-[6,6-2H2]glucose were performed to quantify tissue-specific insulin sensitivity. Hepatic oxidative capacity, lipid peroxidation, and the phosphorylated-to-total c-Jun N-terminal kinase (pJNK-to-tJNK) ratio were measured to assess mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, and inflammatory activity.

RESULTS
Hepatic total ceramides were higher by 50% and 33% in NASH compared with NAFL+ and NAFL−, respectively. Only in NASH were hepatic dihydroceramides (16:0, 22:0, and 24:1) and lactosylceramides increased. Serum total ceramides and dihydroceramides (hepatic dihydroceramides 22:0 and 24:1) correlated negatively with whole-body but not with hepatic insulin sensitivity. Hepatic maximal respiration related positively to serum lactosylceramide subspecies, hepatic sphinganine, and lactosylceramide 14:0. Liver lipid peroxides (total ceramides, sphingomyelin 22:0) and the pJNK-to-tJNK ratio (ceramide 24:0; hexosylceramides 22:0, 24:0, and 24:1) all positively correlated with the respective hepatic sphingolipids.

CONCLUSIONS
Sphingolipid species are not only increased in insulin-resistant humans with NASH but also correlate with hepatic oxidative stress and inflammation, suggesting that these lipids may play a role during progression of simple steatosis to NASH in humans.

The simulation of hydrodynamics water quality in ponds is a developing tool that worth studying in order to understand their internal processes and interactions. Pond design involves several physical, hydrological, geometrical, biological and dynamic variables to provide high hydrodynamic efﬁciency and maximum substrate utilization rates. Computational fluid dynamic modelling (CFD) allows the combination of these factors to predict the behavior of ponds by using different configurations. In this research mathematical model developed by Danish Hydraulic Institute (DHI), was formulated to simulate WQ parameter. This model was calibrated and used to simulate a scenario to improve study reach water quality in polluted lakes. The study applied on El-Burullus Lake, which is the second largest northern lake in Egypt which belongs to high eutrophic lake type and suffers from several problems. The model was run at steady and variable state with raw wastewater to study the real effect of the polluted drains, which discharge high amount of polluted wastewater into the El-Burullus Lake and know the lake situation after make baffles scenario. The major functions performed by baffles are to reduce hydraulic short-circuiting and to provide a submerged surface which can encourage the growth of attached biomass. Attached biomass growing on the surface of the baffles could increase the total mass of organisms in the pond and thus improve the treatment efficiency and therefore reduce the eutrophication rate in the pond such as (NH3-N, PO4-P and NO3-N). Results showed that there are a significant variance between the rate of NH3-N, PO4-P and NO3-N before and after make baffles, and the overlap between baffles (L=0.50 baffle) is more efficient than no overlap. In conclusion, waste ponds and be improved easily and economically to be more efficient by making baffles in the lake which can increase the water velocity, avoided the dead zones area and reduce the eutrophic concentration.

Ni/Al2O3 catalysts were prepared by the wet-impregnation method and calcined at different temperatures (500°C, 600°C and 700°C) to obtain NiAl-1, NiAl-2 and NiAl-3 respectively. NiAl-1, NiAl-2, NiAl-3 represent catalysts calcined at 500°C, 600°C and 700°C respectively. The catalysts were characterized using different techniques, XRD, BET and TGA. XRD results revealed the presence of NiO phase on all the catalysts during calcination, however, the presence of spinel, NiAl2O4, was more pronounced on the catalyst calcined at 600°C (i.e. NiAl-2), indicating the existence of strong metal-support interaction. BET results showed that NiAl-1 has the highest surface area of about 190cm2/g. All the catalysts were tested for ethanol dry reforming in a tubular stainless steel fixed-bed reactor at 700°C and CO2/ethanol ratio of 3 under atmospheric pressure and were evaluated in terms of reactants conversion and selectivity of H2 to see the effect of the different calcination temperatures on the catalysts’ activities. Ethanol conversion was 100% for all the three catalysts and NiAl-2 has the highest CO2 conversion with an average value of about 57%. The three catalysts have almost the same performance in terms of H2 selectivity. The presence of multi-walled carbon nanofibers (MWCNFs) were confirmed on all the catalysts as revealed by the TGA result. The catalyst calcined at 600°C (i.e. NiAl-2) displayed the best relative catalytic activity

Different chemical substances and too much water are used during leather production. Therefore, the waste water load of the leather industry is harmful to the environment. One of the pollution source is the production of leather coloring process is a further need to focus on the removal of dye waste waters subject. These water-soluble dyes have a small organic molecular size. Besides the environmental hazards that these dyes cannot be underestimated, they also have harmful effects on human health.
In this study, poly (hydroxyethyl methacrylate-glycidyl methacrylate) p (HEMA-GMA) hydrogel membranes were synthesized by UV polymerization method. The hydrogel synthesized is modified with imino diacetic acid (IDA) and then chelated with trivalent chromium ions. The chelating capacity of the membranes were determined according to the time, pH and concentration parameters. Dynamic swelling test, elemental analysis, ninhydrin analysis and adsorption, desorption and reusability performances of membranes were also determined. As a result of the analyzes, it was understood that the hydrogel membrane had high adsorption capacity. The adsorption capacity of the p (HEMA-GMA) -IDA-Cr (III) hydrogel membrane did not decrease even after 5 desorption. At the end of the fifth cycle, the membrane was found to have a dye-binding capacity of about 92%. According to these results, the reusable property of the membrane also makes it cost effective as well as effective adsorption.
