<p>Para evaluar tres dosis de un preparado microbiano obtenido en el Ecuador (4x106 UFC de bacterias lácticas, 1,5x105 UFC de levaduras por cada mililitro), en el comportamiento productivo y de salud en cerdos durante la etapa post-destete, se aplicó un diseño completamente aleatorizado, con cuatro tratamientos y cuatro repeticiones por tratamiento: T1 concentrado, T2, T3, T4 (concentrado más 5 mL/kg de peso vivo (PV), 10 mL/kg PV 15 mL/kg PV del preparado microbiano, respectivamente). Se utilizaron 160 cerdos castrados del cruce Landrace x Large White con Blanco Belga x Pietrain, de 28 d de edad y con 6,99 kg de PV. El mayor peso vivo final y la mejor ganancia de peso total y diaria (P &lt; 0,0001) se obtuvo en el grupo de cerdos donde se agregó 15 mL/kg PV del preparado microbiano, con valores de 25,78 kg, 18,78 kg y 447,25 g, respectivamente. En el mismo grupo experimental se encontraron las conversiones de materia seca, proteína bruta y energía metabolizable más eficientes 1,54 kg /kg PV y aumento de peso vivo de 383,92 g/kg PV y 23,16 MJ/kg PV, respectivamente. También en este grupo se registró la menor presencia de animales con diarrea (P &lt; 0,0001) 6,85%. Se concluye que la adición de 15 mL/kg PV mejora el comportamiento productivo y sanitario de cerditos destetados.</p>

<p>Para evaluar el efecto de la inclusión de niveles de urea y del tiempo sobre los indicadores fermentativos y químicos de la harina de frutos del árbol del pan, fermentada en estado sólido, se mezcló homogéneamente con esta, sulfato de magnesio (0,2%), premezcla mineral (0,5%) y agua destilada. Se utilizó un diseño completamente aleatorizado con arreglo factorial (4x4), con 4 repeticiones por tratamiento para evaluar el efecto de la urea (0; 0,5; 1,0 y 1,5%) y cuatro tiempos de fermentación (0, 12, 24 y 48 h). En el estudio, a medida que se incrementa el nivel de urea, aumenta la concentración de amoníaco y, por ende, el pH, lo que depende, en menor o mayor grado, de la concentración de los ácidos orgánicos (AGCC y láctico). Al final del proceso fermentativo hubo una disminución en la MS (P&lt;0,001) a medida que transcurrió el tiempo de fermentación. La adición de 1,5% de urea produjo un incremento en la concentración de PB a las 24 y 48 h sin diferencia entre ellos; algo similar ocurrió con la PV y la relación entre ellos (PV:PB)*100 sin interacción entre los factores en estudios. A las 48 h hubo un aumento mayor de 2,15 unidades porcentuales en la PB con respecto a la hora cero. Se concluye que la adición de urea en el proceso de fermentación de la harina de frutos del árbol del pan en estado sólido incrementa la síntesis de proteína microbiana.</p>

Published: March 2016

La utilización de las Descargas de Barrera de Dieléctrico, DBD, fue iniciada en Europa para la producción de ozono en el tratamiento de agua para el consumo humano. Desde entonces, el número de aplicaciones industriales de este tipo de descarga ha continuado aumentando. Actualmente las DBD son aplicadas con buenos resultados al control de la polución y tratamiento superficial de polímeros, con el fin de aumentar su facilidad de impresión y adhesión. La invención de la descarga luminiscente a presión atmosférica, basada en la DBD, ha impulsado trabajos teórico-experimentales para mejorar la comprensión de los mecanismos involucrados en ella. En este trabajo se realiza una descripción detallada del fenómeno DBD y se presenta la implementación de un sistema para el estudio del tratamiento con plasma de medios gaseosos. La funcionalidad del sistema desarrollado se verificó con aire, obteniéndose plasma visible a 12.31 kV y 27.2 kHz. Los resultados encontrados en la experimentación son consistentes con los reportados en la literatura.
The iSPACES Framework for Rethinking a Culturally Responsive Secondary Science Curriculum in Tanzania
Authors: Semali Ladislaus M. 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
The iSPACES project for teaching a culturally responsive science curriculum in Tanzania emphasizes practical skills to develop scientific knowledge among secondary school students. iSPACES employs a framework that involves interdisciplinary teaching to motivate students to study science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and to produce useful products that will fill needs encountered in real life. This discussion considers methods for restructuring an existing curriculum and rethinking the methodologies for teaching of physics, chemistry and biology (PCB) to overcome students’ cognitive conflicts between their everyday world and the world of academic science. The examination concludes with an example of a framework for a chemistry lesson that may guide teachers who wish to rethink PCB pedagogy and designers who wish to create culturally responsive curricula.
Acondicionamiento Pasivo de una Vivienda en la Sierra de Madrid = Passive Conditioning of a Building in Sierra of Madrid

Published: March 2016

En el presente trabajo se analiza una posible solución para la rehabilitación energética de edificios situados en la Sierra de Madrid con un clima continental. Para la realización del mismo se escogió una vivienda construida en el año 1986 siguiendo las pautas de la ya derogada NTE-79. Su falta de intervención durante casi treinta años ha permitido realizar una simulación entre el estado actual y el estado posterior de la vivienda, tras haber tomado diferentes medidas de rehabilitación calificadas como pasivas, ya que no incluyen mecanismos ni dispositivos que requieran de alguna fuente alimentación externa más allá de la que nos permite el entorno en el cual se encuentra ubicado nuestro edificio. Se pretende demostrar que el empleo de soluciones de rehabilitación que no requieran de un consumo de energía externo, también pueden servir para mejorar la calificación energética de las viviendas actuales de manera más económica y que permita alcanzar el horizonte 2020 europeo para la mejora de la eficiencia energética. Las soluciones propuestas en este documento han ido encaminadas a cumplir con el actual Código Técnico de la Edificación, en su apartado de Ahorro de Energía recientemente modificado CTE-DB HE. Al final, se representan los resultados con la mejora en la calificación obtenida tras la puesta a punto de las medidas simuladas. AbstractIn this work a possible solution to the energy rehabilitation of buildings located in Sierra of Madrid, with a continental climate, is analyzed. To execute this study, a 1986 building was chosen following the NTE-79 (which is currently repealed) guidelines. Its lack of intervention for nearly 30 years lets us make a simulation between the current state of the building and the subsequent one. The simulation was done after having taking different rehabilitation measures, classified as passives, because they do not include mechanisms or devices that required any external power sources beyond the ones that the environment, where our building is located, offer to us. It is pretended to demonstrate that the use of rehabilitation solutions do not required an external energy consume. It can also improve the energy rating of current building more cheaply, and allows reaching the European 2020 goal to improve efficiency energy. The suggested solutions we have described in this paper have been conducted to comply with the technical building code, specifically with its recently modified section, CTE-DB HE Energy Saving Section. Finally, the results are represented including the rating improvement after the development of the simulated measurements.

Authors: Trevisan Giusto , Errichetti Enzo , di Meo Nicola , Pinzani Caterina , Nan Katiuscia , Stinco Giuseppe 
Published: March 2016

Borrelia burgdorferi is highly susceptible to antibiotic treatment and the majority of patients profit from this treatment. Antibiotic selection, dose and route of administration, and duration of therapy for Lyme disease depend on the patient’s clinical manifestations and stage of disease, age, pregnancy status, as well as the presence of other concomitant diseases and/or allergies. Despite an appropriate antibiotic therapy, about 10-20% of patients may show persistent or recurrent symptoms ("post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome").In the present paper we will briefly discuss the post-exposure prophylaxis, before going on to talk over the current therapeutic approach regarding the management of Lyme disease according to the stage of disease/clinical manifestations. Finally, we will discuss the main treatment-related phenomenon, the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction, and the treatment modalities for special categories of patients, namely pregnant women, subjects suffering from post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome, possible Borrelia-associated skin manifestations, coinfections and Baggio-Yoshinary syndrome.

Authors: Bhattarai Nawraj , Bajracharya Iswor 
Published: March 2016

The reliable future energy demand projection is an essential requirement for planning and formulating the policy to provide sustainable energy supply in the country. The purpose of this study is to project the sectoral energy demand up to 2030 under different anticipated growth scenarios of national economy. To project future energy demand, the end use industrial sector energy demand model based on Long – range Energy Alternative Planning (LEAP) framework has been formulated with four GDP growth scenarios namely business as usual (BA), low growth (LG), medium growth (MG) and high growth (HG) respectively. Further, the study has illustrated that among the industrial sub-sectors, the energy demand of food beverage and tobacco, textile & leather, chemical rubber & plastics, mechanical engineering & metallurgy and wood products & papers will be increased while the electrical engineering and products subsector will be decreased. Among the anticipated scenarios, the BA scenario has been selected as a reference scenario for policy measures. In the policy scenario, it has been found that the total sectoral energy demand and electricity demand can be reduced from 1.78 and 2.42 times of the base year demand in BA scenario to 1.53 and 2.24 times of the base year demand in 2030 respectively. The projected sectoral energy demand along with demanding fuels will support the sustainable national energy planning process of the country for days to come.

Authors: Dawadi Babu Ram , Shakya Subarna , Khanal Ananda Raj 
Published: March 2016

The recent breakthrough in Information and Communication Technologies(ICT) make the internet and e-mail as a basic service for the people of every country. The rapid growth in internet users and ICT market by the development of smart devices increase the challenges in hardware and networking management as well as effciency on software and services. Hence migration to new and latest technologies like software defned networking, cloud computing and IPv6 addressing become inevitable for the service providers throughout the world. Asia is the frst continent where shortage of IPv4 was faced. APNIC announced the depletion of IPv4 address on April 2011 [1]. Similarly the IPv4 pool on other Regional Internet Registries have already fnished except AFRINIC. With the shortage of address, Asian countries like Japan, China, India, Malaysia etc... have developed the government policies and national roadmap. They are under monitoring and evaluation of the private and public networks. European union and the American government put forward the priority on IPv6 network migration. In this paper a migration roadmap for Nepal is being proposed after reviewing the world’s IPv6 migration status, other countries policy and roadmap for migration planning as well as survey carried out with Nepalese telecom, internet market and government agencies .

Published: March 2016

In this work we construct the element of volume vector dσ of a r surface of constant retarded distance around the trajectory of a charged particle with arbitrary motion in a Riemannian space. This constitutes a generalization of the method pioneered by Synge [1] in special relativity. The technique r employed is suggested by the ‘radiation coordinates’ y introduced by Florides-McCrea-Synge [2, 3] in the study of gravitational radiation.

Published: March 2016

PREMISE OF STUDY:Our ability to explain community structure rests on our ability to define the importance of ecological niches, including realized ecological niches, in shaping communities, but few studies of plant distributions have combined predictive models with physiological measures.METHODS:Using field surveys and statistical modeling, we predicted distribution drivers in geothermal bryophyte (moss) communities of Lassen Volcanic National Park (California, USA). In the laboratory, we used drying and rewetting experiments to test whether the strong species‐specific effects of relative humidity on distributions predicted by the models were correlated with physiological characters.KEY RESULTS:We found that the three most common bryophytes in geothermal communities were significantly affected by three distinct distribution drivers: temperature, light, and relative humidity. Aulacomnium palustre, whose distribution is significantly affected by relative humidity according to our model, and which occurs in high‐humidity sites, showed extreme signs of stress after drying and never recovered optimal values of PSII efficiency after rewetting. Campylopus introflexus, whose distribution is not affected by humidity according to our model, was able to maintain optimal values of PSII efficiency for 48 hr at 50% water loss and recovered optimal values of PSII efficiency after rewetting.CONCLUSIONS:Our results suggest that species‐specific environmental stressors tightly constrain the ecological niches of geothermal bryophytes. Tests of tolerance to drying in two bryophyte species corresponded with model predictions of the comparative importance of relative humidity as distribution drivers for these species.
Analyzing fit in CSR strategy research in state-owned entreprises: Indonesia context
Authors: Muafi Muafi 
Published: March 2016

Purpose: We attempted to empirically examine the fitness level of enterprises CSR strategy and its context with contingency and configuration approach. Furthermore, we used 213 CSR managers of state-owned enterprises in Indonesia as samplesDesign/methodology/approach: We used the purposive sampling technique to examine the data, also the contingency and configuration approach are measured with regression Euclidean distance.Findings: The result of the configuration and contingency approach has shown fit between CSR strategy and elements of contingency such as socialization tactic and time orientation. This condition also emerges on proactive CSR strategy and reactive CSR strategy, However, there are limitations of this study: an existence of the influence of the situation and condition when this study takes time; there is a concern on the result of not generalizing population, also the organizational performance only considered the size of organizational performance from non financial measure.Research limitation: (a) respondents’ answers are highly influenced by situation and condition when the study takes time. Although validity and reliability tests has shown the right outcome, there is still a possibility of a bias, (b) state-owned companies in Indonesia are represented by CSR manager samples or PKBL with purposive technique so there is a concern on the result for not generalizing population, (c) this research only used primary data through questionnaires. It would be better to combine both primary and secondary data for future researches, (d) organizational performance only considered the size of organizational performance from non financial measure.Originality/value: There is a methodological contribution in testing the fit of a relationship, both contingency and configuration are superior in terms of research method which used Euclidean distance, and used multivariate fit and bivariate fit linear regression. This research model used systematic approach by testing the fit of a relationship, using deviation from design ideal type for socialization tactic and time orientation or contingency variable that influences organizational performance, hence it could be acknowledged the value of the influence between ideal relationship from CSR strategy, socialization tactic and time orientation.
HIV-1–Mediated BAFF Secretion in Macrophages Does Not Require Endosomal TLRs, Type-I IFN, and Nef, but Depends on the Cellular Phenotype Status

Abstract
HIV-1 infection is characterized by persistent viral replication, chronic immune activation, and CD4+ T cell depletion. Moreover, several immune dysfunctions are observed in cells that are not targeted by the virus, such as B cells. Some B cell abnormalities include hypergammaglobulinemia, nonspecific B cell activation, class switching, increased cell turnover, breakage of tolerance, and a loss of the capacity to generate and maintain memory. Several cytokines and growth factors that are increased in the serum of HIV-1–infected individuals have been suggested to directly or indirectly trigger B cell activation, and one of these is BAFF. In this study, we investigate the ability of fully competent (R5-tropic) HIV-1 to induce BAFF production by monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs). We demonstrate here that HIV-1 drives BAFF production in MDMs in a type-I IFN– and TLR-independent manner. Moreover, we determine that HIV-1 Nef accessory protein is dispensable in BAFF upregulation as a nef-deleted HIV-1 strain is still able to increase BAFF at levels similar to the wild type strain. Finally, we show that the macrophage phenotype status affects HIV-1 replication and BAFF induction, as both were abrogated in MDMs displaying a M1 phenotype. This study provides new useful information about the increased levels of BAFF observed during HIV-1 infection and highlights the importance of macrophages as a source of BAFF, a phenomenon that might contribute to B cell dysfunctions at inflammatory tissue sites in infected individuals.
TLR10 Is a Negative Regulator of Both MyD88-Dependent and -Independent TLR Signaling
Authors: Jiang Song , Li Xinyan , Hess Nicholas J. , Guan Yue , Tapping Richard I. 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
TLRs are central components of the innate immune system which, upon recognition of bacterial, fungal or viral components, activate intracellular signals that lead to protective inflammatory responses. Among the 10-member human TLR family, TLR10 is the only remaining orphan receptor without a known ligand or signaling function. Murine TLR10 is a disrupted pseudogene, which precludes investigation using classic gene knockout approaches. We report here that TLR10 suppressed the production of an array of cytokines in stably transfected human myelomonocytic U937 cells in response to other TLR agonists. This broad TLR suppressive activity affects both MyD88- and TRIF-inducing IFN-β–mediated signaling pathways upstream of IκB and MAPK activation. Compared with nontransgenic littermate controls, monocytes of TLR10 transgenic mice exhibited blunted IL-6 production following ex vivo blood stimulation with other TLR agonists. After i.p. injection of LPS, lower levels of TNFα, IL-6, and type 1 IFN were measured in the serum of TLR10 transgenic mice compared to nontransgenic mice, but did not affect mouse survival in an LPS-induced septic shock model. Finally, treatment of human mononuclear cells with a monoclonal anti-TLR10 Ab suppressed proinflammatory cytokines released by LPS stimulation. These results demonstrate that TLR10 functions as a broad negative regulator of TLR signaling and suggests that TLR10 has a role in controlling immune responses in vivo.
