Published: April 2017

<p>The wide distribution and high species diversity produce large variation in morphology, anatomy and genetics of local mangoes. Until now, most mango classification system is based on the generative character while the vegetative character is neglected. Inventory of mango cultivars in Subang rarely studied, therefore the purpose of this study is to development foundation of identification methods basedthe anatomy and morphology of leavesof mango cultivars of Subang. The data could futher develop as baseline information about mango cultivar diversity in Indonesia. During study, 21 mango cultivars found in Subang, West Java. Leave samples were collected from the field and soaked in 70% alcohol. Leaf anatomy preparats made by whole-mount method and paraffin. The shape and type, location, size, density and index of stomata were observed. The results showed high similarity of all sampels.There are three variations of vascular tissues on petioles, letter U shape (planoconvex),U lobed (highlyconvex) and round (circular) with the type of drus crystal form, small cubes, and prismatic. All cultivars have actinositic stomata and hypostomatatic leaves. It could be concluded that density, size and stomata index are less powerful to be apply as characters to identified cultivars of mangoes however the presence of oxalate crystals can be use to the grouping mango cultivars in Subang. </p>

Published: April 2017

Abstract
High-throughput microscopy of many single cells generates high-dimensional data that are far from straightforward to analyze. One important problem is automatically detecting the cellular compartment where a fluorescently-tagged protein resides, a task relatively simple for an experienced human, but difficult to automate on a computer. Here, we train an 11-layer neural network on data from mapping thousands of yeast proteins, achieving per cell localization classification accuracy of 91%, and per protein accuracy of 99% on held-out images. We confirm that low-level network features correspond to basic image characteristics, while deeper layers separate localization classes. Using this network as a feature calculator, we train standard classifiers that assign proteins to previously unseen compartments after observing only a small number of training examples. Our results are the most accurate subcellular localization classifications to date, and demonstrate the usefulness of deep learning for high-throughput microscopy.

Authors: Banigesh A , Hamad A , Dihom A , El-Mahdi I 
Published: April 2017

Abstract
Background: The therapeutic effects of fresh garlic remain controversial. The aim of this study is to investigate whether supplementation of fresh garlic could improve blood glucose and cholesterol profile in Libyan diabetic patients with moderate blood cholesterol.
Methods: Forty-six diabetic patients were randomly assigned to either fresh garlic alone (≈2 grams/day), or fresh garlic in combination with glibenclamide taken on an empty stomach every morning for a month. Serum blood glucose, cholesterol and blood pressure were measured before starting treatment and after the end of the treatment period.
Results: Fresh garlic alone was able to decrease the mean serum cholesterol levels by 26 mg/dl (84% of the original base values), while the combination of fresh garlic and glibenclamide produced a 28 mg/dl decrease in the mean serum cholesterol (85% of the original base values). Fresh garlic alone was able as well to decrease the mean blood glucose levels by 20 mg/dl (85% of the original base values), while the combination of fresh garlic and glibenclamide produced a 60 mg/dl decrease in the serum glucose levels (72% of the original base values). Neither treatment had a significant effect on the mean systolic or diastolic blood pressures after 30 days of treatment.
Conclusion: Administration of fresh garlic every morning for a month significantly reduced the blood cholesterol and fasting blood glucose levels in diabetic patients. Thus administering dietary fresh garlic daily to diabetic patients might have cardio-protective effects on diabetic patients.

Published: April 2017

Abstract
Despite the extensive archaeological surveys carried out in the last decades, little attention has been paid to one of the longest water supply systems of ancient times – the Byzantine water infrastructure which fed Constantinople from the mid-late fourth century ad. This work uses modern satellite terrain data and Global Positioning System (GPS) data to assess this system and provide an improved description of its route, total length and gradient profile. Forty-four validated GPS Control Points were correlated with ASTER GDEM V2 digital satellite data and archaeological information in a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment. We concluded that the total length of the water supply system was 426 km, and possibly even 565 km if the fifth-century aqueduct continued in parallel all the way to Constantinople rather than merging with the fourth-century aqueduct. The gradient of the channels varied across their length, being steepest near the spring sources, with a gradient mostly in the region of 5 m/km, and flattest at around 0.4 m/km in the most downstream section nearest the City. This reconstruction of the gradient profile provides valuable insight into the physical characteristics of the system, allowing future study of its hydraulic function.

Authors: Liu Wen 
Published: April 2017

Background and objective: Given the current rapid development of the profession, great emphasis in dental nursing education is focused on clinical internship training. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the “Weekly Goal Oriented Teaching Method” for dental nursing students during their outpatient clinical internship.Methods: A quasi-experimental study was carried out among students enrolled in the dental nursing major during the 2012 school year. They were randomly divided into two separate study groups according to their scheduled outpatient clinic internship schedule. The students scheduled for their outpatient clinic internship during the first four months (Months 1-4) were placed in the control group. The instructors in the control group utilized conventional teaching methods. Students scheduled during the following four months (Months 5-8) were placed in the experimental group using the “Weekly Goal Oriented Teaching Method”. Comparison of both groups included the student’s examination scores, student evaluation about the clinical internship training, and the nursing instructor’s evaluation of the student’s learning experience.Results: Compared to the control group, the students in the experimental group had examination scores that were statistically significant higher in the Department of Oral and Reconstructive Surgery, Orthodontics, and the Four-Hand Operation Department (p < .05). The student evaluation of the clinical internship in the experimental group significantly surpassed the student evaluation in the control group in the areas of internship planning, teaching methods, and student-teacher communication (p < .05). The clinical nursing instructor’s teacher evaluation scores given to the students in the experimental group surpassed the evaluation scores for students in the control group in the fields of technical learning skills, and communication skills (p < .05).Conclusions: The use of the “Weekly Goal Oriented Teaching Method” can improve and promote acquiring the essential professional skills and knowledge, enhance internship planning, improve teaching methods, and strengthen teacher–student communication. In addition, the “Weekly Goal Oriented Teaching Method” can emphasize principles of nursing theory and compassionate care.
Fabricating and robust artificial neural network modeling nanoscale polyurethane fiber using electrospinning method

Published: April 2017

ABSTRACTWith regard to the fact that currently there is no comprehensive method to predict diameter of polyurethane/solvent fiber from electrospinning, in this study, diameter prediction of polyurethane/solvent fiber was conducted using neural networks and an error of 166 nm was observed. This error shows that artificial neural networks (ANNs) can predict diameter of electrospinning polyurethane fibers well. Then, considering weak repeatability nature of electrospinning in fabricating fibers with desired diameter, least mean square is used to improve stability of neural network model that shows an error of 113 nm, which represented better results compared to common ANN. To investigate the effect of each one of parameters affecting fiber diameter, sensitivity analysis was conducted. Along with this predicting model, sensitivity analysis can be used to reduce parameters space before conducting future studies. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2017, 134, 45116.

Authors: Forsgren Kristy L. , Jamal Homam , Barrios Andrew , Paig‐Tran E.W. Misty 
Published: April 2017

ABSTRACTReproduction is a critical aspect of understanding the biology of fishes. Relatively little is known about oarfish (Regalecus russellii) reproduction; however, strandings of dead animals have provided a rare opportunity to investigate the gonadal morphology of four fish: two females and two males. A female collected in June 2015 (4.32 m TL) had bifurcated ovaries 2.14 m in length and 2.14 kg. The gonadosomatic index (GSI) was 11.8% and the fish was determined to be spawning capable/spawning reproductive phase. A female that stranded in Sept. 2015 (5.20 m TL) had bifurcated ovaries 1.43 m in length and 1.28 kg with a GSI of 1.55%. The Sept. female was in a regressing phase of reproduction. A male collected in Aug. 2015 (4.30 m TL) had 64.7‐cm‐long testes that weighed 40.1 g. The GSI was 0.05% representing a regressing phase of reproduction. A male collected in Nov. 2015 (4.10 m TL) had testes 104.0 cm in length and 467.0 g with a GSI of 0.59%. The Nov. male was in a spawning/spawning capable phase of reproduction. We described ovarian follicles and sperm cells based on size classes and cytological characteristics. We concluded that oarfish are likely batch spawners that undergo periods of regression after a spawning event or season. While this study is not complete with respect to the annual reproductive cycle of oarfish, it markedly contributes to our overall understanding of this rare, mesopelagic fish.

Four new nanaomycins (1 – 4), together with two known compounds, nanaomycin αA (5) and nanaomycin βA (6) were isolated from a fermentation broth of Streptomyces hebeiensis derived from lichen. The structures of the new nanaomycins 1 – 4 were established using comprehensive NMR spectroscopic data analysis as well as UV, IR, and MS data. The antimicrobial activities of 1 – 6 were evaluated against Gram‐positive bacteria and fungus. Compounds 5 and 6 showed antimicrobial activities against the test microorganisms, while 1 – 4 were inactive at 100 μg/ml.
On the Fine‐Tuning of the Excited‐State Intramolecular Proton Transfer (ESIPT) Process in 2‐(2′‐Hydroxybenzofuran)benzazole (HBBX) Dyes

Published: April 2017

AbstractHerein, a full investigation of the optical properties and first‐principles calculations of a large series of original 2‐(2′‐hydroxybenzofuran)benzazole (HBBX) dyes is described. The electronic substitution on the π‐conjugated core of the fluorophores and the nature of the heteroatom (O, S, N) was varied extensively to assess the necessary parameters to trigger a partial frustration of the excited‐state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process, which results in the emission of both tautomers, that is, enol and keto (E* and K*). The optical properties, studied in solution and in the solid state, revealed the appearance of either an intense single K* or a dual E*/K* emission; a feature that is highly dependent on the electronic substitution (donating or accepting), the heteroelement, and the close environment. Subtle modifications of these parameters allowed the establishment of structure–property relationships that were successfully rationalized by first‐principles calculations. In particular, the E*/K* emission intensity ratio was shown to be directly related to the free energies of the two emissive tautomers in the excited state.

Published: April 2017

ABSTRACTThe residue of the alginate extraction, which has been shown as a good alternative material in the removal of toxic metals from industrial wastewater, is little explored as a biosorbent material. This study evaluated the removal of nickel ion in a fixed bed onto the residue of alginate extraction from Sargassum filipendula seaweed. The biosorption process in a dynamic fixed‐bed system evaluated the influence of flow rate and feed concentration, by mass transfer zone (MTZ) and the total removal percentage (%Remt). In order to assess the metal recovery potential and the lifetime of the column, two cycles of adsorption/desorption were performed. The continuous adsorption process was simulated using different dynamic models such as Bohart and Adams, Clark, Thomas, Yan et al., and Yoon and Nelson models. The best predictive model was Yan et al. Techniques, such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X‐ray (SEM‐EDX), helium gas picnometry, mercury porosimetry, and N2 physisorption (BET) were performed in order to compare the residue before adsorption with the material after the process. The results showed that the residue can be used to treat toxic metal contaminated effluents by biosorption processes efficiently.

Published: April 2017

AbstractPolymer flooding is a well‐known commercial method among enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods. Despite its successful development, this method could still be improved considerably by utilizing new polymeric materials and systems. The main objective of this study is the implementation of smart‐covered polymer particles (SCPP) prepared by multistep inverse emulsion polymerization, to improve polymer flooding efficiency. Successive to the average molecular weight determination of the core polymer using the dilute solution method, the dissolution behaviour of SCPPs is examined at reservoir temperature in a specific setup. In addition to investigating the efficiency of SCPP flooding, polymer flooding experiments in a micromodel setup are examined. The flooding efficiency of conventional polyacrylamide and the newly developed SCPP solutions are compared with the water flooding process. Our results provide new insight into the ability of coated polymers to enhance the recovery efficiency of polymer flooding processes.
Blue‐Emitting Electron‐Donor/Acceptor Dyads for Naked‐Eye Fluorescence Detection of Singlet Oxygen

Published: April 2017

AbstractSinglet oxygen (1O2) and other reactive oxygen species receive great attention in chemistry and biology. Fluorescence sensing is one of the most promising and widely used techniques in the detection of 1O2. Nonetheless, the selectivity and sensitivity of 1O2 detection are highly depended on the structure, absorption band, stability and emission color of the fluorogenic sensor. We introduce novel and simple intramolecular electron donor–acceptor dyads that selectively and sensitively emit intense blue light in response to 1O2. The systematic changes in the emission intensity of the sensors allow detection of 1O2 by the naked‐eye. Furthermore, the blue‐shifted absorption and blue emission bands of the sensors ensure selective excitation of common photosensitizers using visible light. The sensors are synthesized by a simple and single‐step reaction, which when combined with the exceptionally high stability of the sensors against visible‐light irradiation, makes them promising tools for 1O2 detection in chemistry, biochemistry, materials science and the life sciences.
