title: Age and growth of two populations of Pugilina cochlidium (Gastropoda: Melongenidae), from Thondi coast-Palk Bay in Tamil Nadu-South East coast of India

description: Abstract Age and growth of two populations of Pugilina cochlidium were studied. to address the lack of basic information on the growth rates and the size at sexual maturity of organism in a commercially harvested area, which will be important in considering the size limits to conserve this resources in future. In the present study the results showed more or less similar growth patterns in the males and females of two populations of Pugilina cochlidium. The age and growth estimation of these two populations of Pugilina cochlidium were completed using several methods and the outcome of one method will act as a check and control over the other using the FISAT 1 software. The values of asymptotic length (Lα) values obtained in the present study using various methods did not vary greatly. Lα values obtained for the first population of Pugilina cochlidium was 95.55 mm for males and 106.05 mm for females and the growth rate (K) for males (0.588 yr-1) and females (0.620 yr-1) was given by k-scan routine in ELEFAN. Similarly, the values of asymptotic length (Lα), obtained for second population of Pugilina cochlidium, was 96.15 mm for males and 106.05 mm for females and the growth rate (K) for males (0.540 yr-1) and females (0.950 yr-1) was given by k-scan routine in ELEFAN.

title: Evaluation of cell damage and modulation of cytokines TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10 in macrophages exposed to PpIX-mediated photodynamic therapy

description: Abstract Little is known regarding whether photodynamic therapy (PDT)-induced cell death can substantially compromise macrophages (MΦ), which are important cells in PDT-induced immune responses. Here, parameters of PDT-mediated MΦ cytotoxicity and cytokine production in response to protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) were evaluated. Peritoneal MΦ from BALB/c mice were stimulated in vitro with PDT, light, PpIX, or lipopolysaccharide (LPS). After that, cell viability, lipid peroxidation, Nitric Oxide (NO), DNA damage, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10 were evaluated. Short PDT exposure reduced cell viability by 10–30%. There was a two-fold increase in NO and DNA degradation, despite the non-increase in lipoperoxidation. PDT increased TNF-α and IL-10, particularly in the presence of LPS, and decreased the production of IL-6 to 10-fold. PDT causes cellular stress, induces NO radicals and leads to DNA degradation, generating a cytotoxic microenvironment. Furthermore, PDT modulates pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in MΦ.

title: Apparent nutrient digestibility of carbohydrate (corn) in Cirrhinus mrigala under the influence of chromium chloride hexahydrate

description: Abstract A feeding trial was carried out to assess the effect of dietary chromium supplementation on apparent nutrient digestibility coefficient (%) of gelatinized and non-gelatinized corn in Cirrhinus mrigala fingerlings for 90 days. Using various levels of chromium chloride hexahydrate six test diets designated as T1 (G/0.0 Cr2Cl3.6H2O mg Kg-1), T2 (NG/0.0 Cr2Cl3.6H2O mg Kg-1), T3 (G/0.2 Cr2Cl3.6H2O mg Kg-1), T4 (NG/0.2 Cr2Cl3.6H2O mg Kg-1), T5 (G/0.4 Cr2Cl3.6H2O mg Kg-1) and T6 (NG/0.4 Cr2Cl3.6H2O mg Kg-1) were prepared. Results showed highest apparent digestibility coefficient (ADC) of nutrients dry matter, crude lipid and gross energy in test diet T5 that was gelatinized and supplemented with chromium 0.4 mg/Kg while, for crude protein higher value of nutrient digestibility was recorded in T3 test diet (G/0.2 Cr2Cl3.6H2O mg/Kg). It was concluded that chromium supplementation with gelatinized corn in fish (Cirrhinus mrigala) diet can improve the nutrients digestibility more efficiently.

title: A simple spline finite strip for buckling analysis of composite cylindrical panel with cutout

description: Abstract In this study, a new sub-parametric strip element is developed to simulate the axially loaded composite cylindrical panel with arbitrary cutout. For this purpose, a code called SSFSM is developed in FORTRAN to analyze the buckling of panels. The first order shear deformation theory is used to form the strain-displacement relations. Spline and Lagrangian functions are used to derive element shape functions in the longitudinal and transverse directions, respectively. The computational cost of the SSFSM is decreased dramatically, as mapping functions of the strip element are very simple. The results obtained from the SSFSM are compared with those of the literature and the results obtained by ABAQUS to show the validity of the proposed approach. A parametric study is performed to show the capability of the SSFSM in calculating the panel buckling load. Results indicate that increasing the panel thickness and panel central angles cause an increase in panel buckling load. The cutout shape is an important factor influencing the panel buckling load. For instance, when the angle between the direction of big chord of the elliptical cutout and compressive load direction are 0 and 90 degrees, the panel buckling load reaches its minimum and maximum magnitude, respectively.

title: Stock assessment of the peacock bass Cichla temensis (Humboldt, 1821), an important fishing resource from the middle Negro river, Amazonas, Brazil

description: Abstract Peacock bass Cichla temensis is an important species at the Amazon basin, since commercial, subsistence and recreational fisheries simultaneously exploit it. Cichla temensis is the preferred species by recreational fishers and it has been strongly exploited, mainly at the Negro river, the second largest tributary of the Amazon River. It was used data from experimental fisheries, collected at the middle stretch of Negro river, which were coupled with previously published data on its population dynamics, to run a yield per recruit model and build scenarios of sustainable fisheries. The results showed that the age of the first catch is a key variable to successful management of the peacock bass stocks at this region.

title: EVALUATION OF ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF NATURAL EXTRACTS ON THE OXIDATIVE STABILITY OF COTTONSEED BIODIESEL

description: Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant activity of the natural extracts catechin, curcumin and quercetin on the oxidative stability of methylic cottonseed oil biodiesel. The oxidative stability was evaluated using the Rancimat method (EN 14112) for biodiesel with 500, 1000, 1500, 2000 and 3000 ppm of additives, and compared with the commercial antioxidant butyl hydroxyanisole at the same concentrations. Kinematic viscosity was also evaluated at the same concentration. All additives had a positive effect on the oxidative stability; moreover, all extracts presented better results than BHA. Catechin was the most effective additive, achieving an induction period almost three times greater than BHA for 3000 ppm. In addition, all three extracts caused a reduction in kinematic viscosity, but it remained within the technical specification. These results prove catechin, curcumin and quercetin to be powerful natural antioxidants.

title: An Alternative to Avrami Equation

description: This paper proposes an alternative to the Avrami equation capable of describing whole transformation curves with significant fitting-correlations. The model bears physically meaningful parameters which permit considering the initial transformation kinetics independently from the subsequent microstructural evolution. Data of martensite, bainite, recrystallization, and pearlite transformations validate the model. Further to the expeditious description of transformation curves, the model guides the modeling of specific mechanisms.

title: Development of Silica-Based Monoliths for the Capture of CO2

description: The synthesis of mesoporous materials in macroscopic scale, as for example, the monoliths, has been of great interest in view of the wide range of applications that this material holds. Thus, this work consists of the production of silica monoliths for the purpose of they being used in the carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption process. The adsorbents were prepared in pure form and also with addition of heteroatoms: Al, Ti and Zr. The samples were then functionalized with pentaethylenehexamine (PEHA) by the wet impregnation method. The materials were characterized by the following techniques: X-ray diffraction (XRD), textural analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Thermogravimetry (TG/DTG). The analyses indicated that the materials synthesized with heteroatom incorporation presented a disordered pore structure and high surface area (1387 m2/g for sample Ti/M1). In addition, they showed a significant increase in adsorption of CO2 relative to their parent sample, a fact that is not much explored in the literature. The CO2 adsorption performance tests were carried out at 30 ºC and atmospheric pressure. All functionalized materials demonstrated improved CO2 adsorption capacity relative to their starting samples. Adsorption capacities up to 111.3 mg/g were found in this work, which makes the materials developed promising candidates for the capture of CO2.

title: Wildlife rehabilitation: A case study of the neo-tropical, opossum Didelphis marsupialis insularis, Allen 1902.

description: Abstract Wildlife rehabilitation facilities in the Caribbean region are limited, yet they can provide relevant information on wild populations. Didelphis marsupialis insularis is a popularly hunted, under-studied, neo-tropical marsupial species that is increasingly being admitted for rehabilitation. The aim of this study was 1. To record the experiences of rehabilitating D. marsupialis insularis in the neo-tropical island of Trinidad and Tobago and 2. To extract and highlight information on the biology of this opossum sub-species. Using admission records, obtained over a roughly four year period, two breeding periods (February to March and August to October) were illustrated. Litter sizes averaged five individuals, with a range of 1 to 8 young. This species was found to be common in urban areas of the country, with dog attacks reported as the major cause for admission. Thus the information recorded by this wildlife rehabilitation facility has provided great insight on the sparsely studied opossum, D. marsupialis insularis.

title: Ultrasonic pretreatment of carrot slices: Effects of sonication source on drying kinetics and product quality

description: Abstract: In this study effects of ultrasonic pretreatment with different sonication sources on drying behavior of carrot slices were evaluated. Fresh carrot slices were pretreated with ultrasonic probe at 65, 75 and 85 W or ultrasonic bath at 10, 20 and 30°C for 3, 5 and 10 min before air drying. Water gain % and solid loss % of pretreated samples were calculated and color values, β-carotene content and rehydration ratios of dried samples were determined. Drying behavior of the pretreated samples was evaluated and the drying data were fitted to thin layer drying models. Constant drying rate period was not observed for the carrot slices; however two definite falling-rate periods having different slopes were obtained. Drying time was significantly reduced (up to 20%) depending on the type of pretreatment. The redness value, total color difference and Chroma values of pretreated and control samples were in the same group (p&gt;0.05). β-carotene content of ultrasonic bath pretreated samples were significantly higher than the samples pretreated with ultrasonic probe and the sample dried without any pretreatment as well (p&lt;0.05). Also rehydration ratios of control samples were found lower than the ultrasound pretreated samples.
