Colour characteristics of winter wheat grits of different grain size
Authors: Horváth Zs. H. , Véha A. 
Published: July 2015

Abstract
Nowadays, wheat has spread all over the world due to its extensive usability. The colour of wheat grits is very important for the milling and baking industry because it determines the colour of the products made from it. The instrumental colour measuring is used, first of all, for durum wheat. We investigated the relationship between colour characteristics and grain size in the case of different hard aestivum wheats. We determined the colour using the CIE (Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage) 1976 L*, a*, b* colour system measured by MINOLTA CR-300 tristimulus colorimeter. After screening the colour of the wheat fractions of different grain size, grits was measured wet and dry. We determined the L*, a*, b* colour co-ordinates and the whiteness index, too. To evaluate the values we had obtained, we used analysis of variance and regression analysis. We pointed out that the colour of wheat grits of different grain size is dependent on the hardness index of wheat. The lightness co-ordinate (L*) of grits of the harder wheat is smaller, while a* and b* co-ordinates are higher. We also found that while grain size rises, the L* co-ordinate decreases and a*, b* values increase in the case of every type of wheat. The colour of grits is determined by the colour of fractions of 250-400 μm in size, independently from the average grain size. The whiteness index and the L* colour co-ordinate have a linear relation (R2 = 0.9151); so, the determination of whiteness index is not necessary. The L* value right characterizes the whiteness of grits.
Role of the farinograph test in the wheat flour quality determination
Authors: Diósi G. , Móré M. , Sipos P. 
Published: July 2015

Abstract
Most objectively, the dough rheological methods can characterize the quality of winter wheat. The Farinograph test is the traditionally used one in Hungary, but the importance of other methods, such as Alveograph and Extensograph tests, are getting more widely known due to the interest and requirements of the industry and export markets. The Hungarian Standard on wheat quality follows the changes in the global markets; this is why the falling number appeared in the MSZ (Hungarian Standard) 6383 in 1998. As the interest in the results of other rheological test increased from our accession to the European Union, the evaluation of these parameters on different varieties has become an important issue of qualification and in 2012 limit values for Alveograph and Extensograph parameters appear in the Hungarian wheat quality standard. Additionally, while the baking value was the only evaluated parameter of the Farinograph test earlier, the standard was supplemented with limit values for water absorption capacity and stability too.
In this study, we revised different diagrams of Farinograph tests again from the previous years to reveal whether the new limit values for these Farinograph parameters change the valuation of wheat flour samples, therefore whether the quality groups in which the samples were ranked change considering the new requirements.
The possibility of using magnetic nanoparticles to increase the therapeutic efficiency of Herceptin antibody
Authors: Rasaneh Samira , Dadras Maryam-Rahele 
Published: July 2015

AbstractHerceptin is an expensive humanized antibody used for the treatment of early-stage breast cancers. This antibody can cause cardiotoxicity in some patients. In this study, we evaluated the possibility of increasing the therapeutic efficacy of Herceptin by combining magnetic nanoparticles and a permanent magnet for more accumulation in the tumor site.Herceptin magnetic nanoparticles (HMNs) were synthesized and some of their characteristics, such as stability, magnetization, particle size by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and dynamic light scattering (DLS) technique, were measured. The biodistribution study was checked in mice bearing breast tumor with and without a permanent magnet on the position of the tumor. The therapeutic effects of HMNs were considered in this condition.The size distribution of HMNs determined by the DLS technique was 182±7 nm and the average size by TEM was 100±10 nm. The reductions of 81% and 98% in the mean tumor volume for the group that received HMNs with magnetic field were observed at 42 and 45 days after injection, respectively.The good results in mice indicated that Herceptin-loaded iron oxide nanoparticles with external magnetic field have good potential for use in humans as a targeted drug delivery that needs more investigation.
A Survey of Solving Approaches for Multiple Objective Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problems
Authors: Genova Krasimira , Kirilov Leoneed , Guliashki Vassil 
Published: July 2015

Abstract
Many real life scheduling problems can be formulated as Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problems (FJSSPs) which simultaneously optimize several conflicting criteria. A typical feature of such problems is their high computational complexity. The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of the techniques, developed to solve multiple objective FJSSPs during the last decade. These techniques could be classified into two groups: approaches with application of mathematical models and heuristic approaches. Usually hybrid metaheuristic algorithms are proposed for large dimensional real life problems and they outlay the tendency for the future developments of efficient solution approaches for multiple objective FJSSPs.
TCMVS: A Novel Trajectory Clustering Technique Based on Multi-View Similarity
Authors: Velpula Vijaya Bhaskar , Prasad Mhm Krishna 
Published: July 2015

Abstract
The analysis of moving entities “trajectories” is an important task in different application domains, since it enables the analyst to design, evaluate and optimize navigation spaces. Trajectory clustering is aimed at identifying the objects moving in similar paths and it helps the analysis and obtaining of efficient patterns. Since clustering depends mainly on similarity, the computing similarity between trajectories is an equally important task. For defining the similarity between two trajectories, one needs to consider both the movement and the speed (i.e., the location and time) of the objects, along with the semantic features that may vary. Traditional similarity measures are based on a single viewpoint that cannot explore novel possibilities. Hence, this paper proposes a novel approach, i.e., multi viewpoint similarity measure for clustering trajectories and presents “Trajectory Clustering Based on Multi View Similarity” technique for clustering. The authors have demonstrated the efficiency of the proposed technique by developing Java based tool, called TCMVS and have experimented on real datasets.

Published: July 2015

Abstract
The two-wheeled robot is a nonlinear system of multi-variables, higherorder and strong coupling. This paper presented a PID Controller with Double Loops (PCDL) to control the tilt angle and velocity of a two-wheeled robot. The angle controller is the regular negative feedback, while the velocity control is the positive feedback. The Double Loops work cooperatively to endow the system with strong anti-interference ability. The stability of the whole system is analyzed and the criterion of the system stability is developed. The simulation and experiments showed that the two-wheeled robot can self-balance and move at an expected velocity and the system has strong anti-interference ability.

Published: July 2015

Abstract
The clean utilization of the CuCl residue containing chloride produced from zinc hydrometallurgy residue is very important for the recycle of valuable metals. A new method of microwave roasting under oxygen enriched condition was put forward to strengthen the process of dechlorination. It was demonstrated that the dechlorination rate of CuCl residue by microwave roasting was higher than that of conventional roasting by tubular resistance furnace under the same conditions (temperature, holding time and atmosphere). After roasting at a temperature of 450°C for 120 min under an oxygen flow rate of 150 mL/min in microwave field, the dechlorination rate of CuCl residue was as high as 97%, increasing 17% compared to that of conventional roasting using tubular resistance furnace. The characterizations of phase variation of CuCl residue in microwave field by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDS) and Raman spectroscopy indicated that the process of dechlorination by microwave roasting under the oxygen enriched condition was much more efficient than conventional roasting.

Published: July 2015

Abstract
Manganese oxyhydroxide (MnOOH) nanoparticles were synthesized by the reaction of [Mn(Hsal)2] complex and NaOH in the presence of ultrasound irradiation. In this study, the effect of different reaction parameters such as type of solvent, sonication time and type of surfactant on the morphology and the particle size of product were studied. The as-synthesized nanoparticles, with an average size of 10–15 nm, were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR) and energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS). To the best of author’s knowledge, it is the first time that [Mn(Hsal)2] complex is used as manganese source for the synthesis of MnOOH nanoparticles.
Research on the Microstructure and Mechanical Property of Ti-7Cu Alloy after Semi-Solid Forging
Authors: Chen Yongnan , Huo Yazhou , Zhao Yongqing , Sun Zhiping , Bai Fan 
Published: July 2015

Abstract
The present work is focused on the development of microstructure of Ti-7Cu alloy as a function of forging temperature and forging ratio in semi-solid state and the influence of resulting microstructure on the mechanical properties. The experimental results showed that the dynamic recrystallization occurred during semi-solid forging and the grain refinement was attained which is considered to be favorable for improving the semi-solid formability. The grain size increased with forging temperature and decreased with forging ratio. Forging temperature has a significant effect on the precipitation behavior in grain boundary regions during the semi-solid processing. More acicular-Ti2Cu tended to precipitate in grain boundary regions with higher forging temperature and finally formed precipitates zones adjacent to grain boundaries after forged at 1,100°C. High ultimate tensile strengths and low elongation have been achieved after semi-solid forging. The strength and hardness decreased with increase of forging temperature, while the ductility increased with increase of forging ratio. The relative contributions of tensile properties were attributed to the varieties of grain size and the distribution of Ti2Cu precipitates obtained by semi-solid forging.

Published: July 2015

Abstract
BiFeO3 nanopowders with new morphology have been synthesized by different methods. X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared and vibrating sample magnetometer were carried out at room temperature to study the structural and magnetic properties of as-synthesized products. VSM was utilized to measure the size-dependent magnetic behaviors of the as-prepared nanoparticles. Results show that the method has strong effect on the purity of the products. BFO synthesized by third method was pure. Crystallite size has a great effect on the magnetic properties. According to these results the nanoparticle diameter is smaller than the critical single-domain diameter, avoiding the configuration of magnetic domain walls decreases the magnetization. Even though the diameter of particle becomes even smaller, the thermal stability of the magnetization orientation decreases.
On the number of object markers in Bantu languages
Authors: Marlo Michael R. 
Published: July 2015

AbstractThis paper describes the morphosyntactic diversity among Bantu languages in the number of pre-stem and post-stem object markers (OMs) that are allowed and discusses the factors responsible for this diversity. The number of OMs is sometimes highly restricted and sometimes seemingly unrestricted. Some languages have only pre-stem marking of objects; some have only post-stem marking; and some have both pre-stem and post-stem marking. Person-number, animacy, and locative noun classes are the basis for a number of morphosyntactic asymmetries in individual systems in whether objects are marked before or after the stem, though other factors such as grammatical relations are also involved. A handful of types of OMs, including locatives and the 1sg and reflexive markers, commonly allow languages to circumvent restrictions on object marking, allowing one more OM than usual. The number of OMs is also restricted by certain syntactic configurations such as passivization. A number of other issues that are important general considerations in the syntax of Bantu languages are shown to have at most a secondary role in determining the number of OMs that are allowed.
Non-Tuareg Berber and the genesis of nomadic Northern Songhay
Authors: Souag Lameen 
Published: July 2015

AbstractWith massive borrowing resulting in systematic suppletion, the nomadic Northern Songhay languages, Tadaksahak and Tagdal, are some of the most striking products of intense language contact in Africa. While the importance of Berber in their formation is obvious, published comparisons have focused almost exclusively on Tuareg, the currently dominant Berber language of the region. This paper, however, demonstrates that Tuareg-Songhay contact alone cannot adequately account for their emergence. Tadaksahak at least seems to have as its substrate not Tuareg, but rather a Western Berber language closely related to Tetserrét, a small minority language of Niger; such a language also played a role in the development of Tagdal. Western Berber influence, however, is not reconstructible at the proto-Northern-Songhay level, despite being attested in most Northern Songhay languages individually. A closer look at the Western Berber stratum in Tadaksahak indicates that language shift there was accompanied by broader cultural changes, including a shift away from the regional norm of cross-cousin marriage towards the North African preference for patrilineal parallel cousin marriage. These linguistic and cultural changes may have been part of an effort to assert an identity as specialists in Islamic learning, following regional political shifts around the sixteenth century.

Reflection and transmission from left-handed material structures using Lorentz and Drude medium models
Authors: Taya S.A. , El−Amassi D.M. 
Published: July 2015

AbstractThe present article investigates theoretically the refection and transmission through a lossless dielectric slab embedded between two semi−infinite left−handed materials (LHMs) in which the electric permittivity and magnetic permeability are simultaneously negative. The LHM is assumed to be dispersive according to Lorentz as well as Drude medium model. The reflection and transmission coefficients are studied with the angle of incidence, frequency and slab thickness. The effect of the damping frequency is also investigated. It is found that the damping frequency has an insignificant effect on reflected, transmitted and loss powers. Band pass filter is one of the possible applications of the proposed structure.

AbstractApplication of cells with high TAA (tumor associated antigen) presentation potential seems to be crucial in neoplasia immunotherapy. Such feature is distributed in dendritic cells, which present peptides from processed TAA - MHC molecules complex to the T cells of a host.The aim of the study was to assess the influence of colon neoplasia tissue lysate on functioning of generated autologous DC’s in the field of autologous CD4+ lymphocytes immunological response towards Th1/Th2 under in vitro environment together with comparison and assessment of DCs’ immunosuppressive properties acquired from patients with colon cancer.Material and methods. The population of this study consisted of 16 healthy- controls, 36colon cancer patients. Blood samples were collected 24h before planned surgery and preventive antibiotic therapy. Neoplastic tissue sample, was digested for cell lysates preparation. DC’s generation from PBMC was carried out in standard conditionsand medium enriched with rhGM-CSF and rhIL-4. Mature DC`s and cocultured autologous CD4 lymphocytes immunophenotype assessment was analyzed with flow cytometer. Intracellular and culture medium cytokines concentration was analyzed with ELISA and FACS method.Results. DC`s generated from colon cancer patients stimulated with lysates presented greater maturity, lower expression of CD206 antigen, significantly higher expression of HLA-DR, CD208 and CD209 and high intracellular expression of IL-12, compared to non-stimulated cells.Conclusions. The neoplastic tissue in vivo produces a number of substances having an unfavorable effect on immune system, our results suggests using lysates as good dendritic cells stimulators that possibly could have application in colon cancer immunotherapy
Management of Giant Hepatic Hemangioma in Atypical Localization; Report of a Case and Literature Review
Authors: Stankiewicz Rafał , Kobryń Konrad , Patkowski Waldemar , Krawczyk Marek 
Published: July 2015

AbstractHemangiomas are the most common benign primary hepatic neoplasms, often being incidentally discovered. In most of the cases they are small and asymptomatic. It is widely accepted that clinical intervention is indicated only for symptomatic hemangiomas.We present a case of an asymptomatic giant hemangioma managed by enucleation due to its atypical localization. The hemangioma, originally located in segment 5, was now described in Computer Tomography (CT) Imaging as separating the gallbladder from the liver parenchyma. A careful evaluation of images revealed proximity to the portal vein (PV), right hepatic artery (RHA), right hepatic duct (RHD) and right branch of the portal vein (RBPV). Thus, in the case of an emergent operation, surgical maneuvers in the area of the altered hepatic anatomy and proximity to the hemangioma itself, would in fact increase the risk endangering the patient’s life. After patient’s consent, a surgical enucleation en block with the gall-bladder was performed. It is of great importance that specifically selected, asymptomatic patients diagnosed with a giant hemangioma, with the above mentioned or similar localization should be considered for surgical treatment.
