Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose: The purpose of this study is basically to examine the nexus between patronage of telecommunication network services and Corporate Social Responsibility activities executed by the three mobile telecommunication network providers with the highest subscribers in Ghana.Findings: The study reveals that there is no relationship between the patronage of mobile communication network services and Corporate Social Responsibility activities executed by the three leading mobile telecommunication service providers in Ghana.Patronage is purely premised on quality voice call service, wide network coverage, promotion packages, and fast and affordable internet services inter alia.Conclusion; it is suggested that the government should encourage the public to patronize the services and products of corporate bodies who initiate Corporate Social Responsibility projects in the societies so that those corporate bodies would be encouraged to engage in more social activities and projects to support the Government.
SH1372467.08FU

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

UNITE provides a unified way for delimiting, identifying, communicating, and working with DNA-based Species Hypotheses (SH). All fungal ITS sequences in the international nucleotide sequence databases are clustered to approximately the species level by applying a set of dynamic distance values (<0.5 - 3.0%). All species hypotheses are given a unique, stable name in the form of a DOI, and their taxonomic and ecological annotations are verified through distributed, web-based third-party annotation efforts. SHs are connected to a taxon name and its classification as far as possible (phylum, class, order, etc.) by taking into account identifications for all sequences in the SH. An automatically or manually designated sequence is chosen to represent each such SH. These sequences are released (https://unite.ut.ee/repository.php) for use by the scientific community in, for example, local sequence similarity searches and next-generation sequencing analysis pipelines. The system and the data are updated automatically as the number of public fungal ITS sequences grows.
The impact of geographical bias when judging scientific studies

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract The beauty of science lies within its core assumption that it seeks to identify the truth, and as such, the truth stands alone and does not depend on the person who proclaims it. However, people's proclivity to succumb to various stereotypes is well known, and the scientific world may not be exceptionally immune to the tendency to judge a book by its cover. An interesting example is geographical bias, which includes distorted judgments based on the geographical origin of, inter alia, the given work and not its actual quality or value. Here, we tested whether both laypersons ( N = 1532) and scientists ( N = 480) are prone to geographical bias when rating scientific projects in one of three scientific fields (i.e., biology, philosophy, or psychology). We found that all participants favored more biological projects from the USA than China; in particular, expert biologists were more willing to grant further funding to Americans. In philosophy, however, laypersons rated Chinese projects as better than projects from the USA. Our findings indicate that geographical biases affect public perception of research and influence the results of grant competitions.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Objective: To study the effect of multi-generation drinking milk on the bone metabolizing factors such as serum calcium, ALP, BGP, etc. Methods: Sixty BALB/c mice of 4-week years old were chosen and divided into two groups randomly by weight, one is the drinking milk group, infused with 0.083g/g of milk, another group infused with the same quantity of distilled water. The items were determined within one month after the birth of their filial generation.Results: ALP,BGP of the drinking milk group were higher than that of another group significantly (P0.05). Within the drinking milk group, ALP, BGP of the third generation were significant different with that of the first generation(P0.05); but there is no significant difference among the generations of the contrast group(P0.05). The blood calcium has no significant difference between the two groups (P0.05).[WTHX]Conclusion: Multi-generation drinking milk could promote the absorption of bone calcium, at last promote the growth and health of bone.
Non-Destructive In-Process Quality Evaluation Of Plant-Sourced Food During Drying

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract Plant-sourced food has a crucial role in the human food supply as the source of calories and many valuable micronutrient compounds that enhance a balanced and healthy lifestyle. However, a portion of food intended for human consumption produced globally become wastage per year because of a lack of proper processing and preservation technologies. Drying is one of the broadly utilised preservation technologies in plant-sourced food. Most drying studies focused on post-process evaluation on product quality; meanwhile, monitoring and controlling amid the drying process (in-process) is essential because these activities can improve the drying condition and optimise the end product’s quality. Furthermore, the non-destructive inspection method is essential in developing smart food processing units and can be more efficient, rapid, reduced sample waste, and environmentally friendly than traditional inspection methods. The authors also discuss the overview of quality parameters investigated during plant-sourced food drying with in-process and non-destructive quality evaluation techniques. Finally, the authors also discuss the prospects and challenges of the real-time and non-destructive quality evaluation application.
Glucocorticoid receptor mediates the gluconeogenic activity of the farnesoid X receptor in the fasting condition

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

ABSTRACT The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is a master gene orchestrating the activation of gluconeogenic genes in the liver in response to food withdrawal. Mechanisms of GR regulation by other nuclear receptors, however, are poorly defined. Here, we report that the farnesoid X receptor (FXR), a bile acid sensor, activates gluconeogenic pathways in the liver and regulates GR expression and activity. FXR‐null mice are hypoglycemic in the unfed state and exhibit both a reduced hepatic production of glucose in response to the pyruvate challenge and a decreased expression of two rate‐limiting enzymes involved in gluconeogenesis, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), and glucose‐6‐phosphatase (G6Pase), along with blunted liver expression of GR. Treating wild‐type mice with a semisynthetic FXR ligand (6E‐CDCA) increases the liver expression of GR, PEPCK, and G6Pase. This effect was lost in fed animals, as well as in FXR –/– mice. The human and mouse GR promoters contain a conserved FXR‐responsive element (an ER‐8 sequence) whose activation by FXR ligation leads to GR transcription. GR silencing by siRNA in vitro or its pharmacological antagonism in vivo with mifepristone reverses the effect of FXR activation on expression of gluconeogenic genes. These findings demonstrate that an FXR‐GR pathway regulates the activation of hepatic gluconeogenesis in the transition from the unfed to the fed state.—Renga, B., Mencarelli, A., D'Amore, C., Cipriani, S., Baldelli, F., Zampella, A., Distrutti, E., Fiorucci, S.

Concept of “City” in the Kazakh Poetic Texts

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In the literary artistic process of Kazakhstan, where bilingualism is observed, the image of the city is interpreted from different points—the urban and traditional. The basic concept of “steppe”, displaying the key concepts of the national mentality, are based on the peculiarities of the geographical area, natural resource use, lifestyle of the Kazakh people, a way of managing economy. Urbanistic processes that changed the space of Kazakhs led to certain changes in the perception of the world, its evaluation. This is related to changes in the national consciousness, which was formed over thousands of years of nomadic life. Therefore, in the mentality of poets who preserved the spirit of the nomads, the city is represented in two ways, opposed to the steppe, embodying all the best in the behavior, character and emotional sphere of the people.
F-18FDG positron emission tomography and benign fractures

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Purpose: F-18 2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) has been used extensively in the imaging of cancer, including metastatic skeletal disease. Although uptake into benign osseous disease has been reported, there is very limited information regarding uptake into benign fractures. This report provides additional information regarding the appearance of benign fractures on FDG-PET images. Materials and Methods: Four case reports of FDG-PET scanning are presented in patients with proved benign fractures. Results: In three of these cases, FDG uptake was noted in fractures when images were obtained 17 days to 8 weeks after injury, with the most avid uptake observed when FDG-PET imaging was performed 17 days after fracture. In the patient in whom imaging was performed 8 weeks after fracture, no uptake of FDG was seen in a benign fracture. Conclusions: Fractures may accumulate FDG to varying degrees, and false-positive findings may occur when FDG-PET imaging is performed to assess for metastases, although the different pattern of uptake and clinical correlation usually allows accurate differentiation of fracture from skeletal metastases.
Identification of air and sea-surface targets with a laser range profiler

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Current coastal operations have to deal with threats at short range in complex environments with both neutral and hostile targets. There is a need for fast identification, which is possible with a laser range profiler. A number of field trials have been conducted to validate the concept of identification with a laser range profile. A laser range profiler with a high bandwidth, fast laser receiver was used to perform tests on the capability of a laser range profiler for ship identification. Typical rise and fall times are 2 ns corresponding to a range resolution of 0.6 meter. The experimental profiles of the ships and simulated range profiles based on 3D target models show very good correspondence. It is shown that laser range profiles match closely the geometric structure of the ship. Furthermore, the good match between experimental and simulated laser range profiles means that a database of laser range signatures can be constructed from 3D-models, thus simplifying the database creation. Based on the experiments a system model was made for the range profiling of air targets. The validated system model shows that air targets can be identified at ranges of several tens of kilometers. An identification algorithm was used to distinguish three aircraft from their simulated range profile with good results. Â© 2009 SPIE.

Numerical analysis of the effect of zeta potential on the performance of micro-electrohydrodynamic conduction pump

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

As an advanced flow-drive technology, micro-electrohydrodynamic (EHD) conduction pumping has become a new prospect in many micro-scale industrial applications, including lab-on-chip devices and microfluidic cooling systems. Under micro-scale conditions, the effect of the electric double layer (EDL) has to be considered. Zeta potential is an adjustable and measurable experimental value and has been proposed to estimate the strength of EDL in simulations. In this work, the effect of zeta potential on the performance of micro-EHD conduction pumping has been numerically investigated. A method to estimate the surface charge density without the Debye–Hückel approximation was introduced. A two-dimensional flush electrode configuration with a typical size of 50 μm was considered. The coupled series of governing equations was implemented in the finite-volume framework of OpenFOAM® and solved based on the PIMPLE algorithm. The results show that zeta potential can enhance the asymmetry of the electric field and change the distribution of the Coulomb force. For the construction considered in this work, negative zeta potential can reduce the size and strength of the vortex in the flow field and improve the pump's net flow rate and static pressure. In contrast, positive zeta potential has the opposite effect. Maximum performance enhancement up to 94.8%–115.1% has been observed for different electrode length ratios within the parameters studied in this paper. The results guide the zeta potential optimization of micro-EHD conduction pumping. By matching the pairs of solid and liquid materials, researchers can adjust zeta potential to an optimal value, thereby improving the pump performance.
Estimation of crop loss caused by important insect-pests of mango

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

A field experiment was conducted at Regional Horticultural Research Station, ASPEE College of Horticulture and Forestry, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari (Gujarat) during 2009-10 to 2010-11. Application of recommended as well as need based insecticides in protected plots resulted in significantly lower hoppers (3.95 hoppers/twig or panicle), thrips (5.47 thrips/twig or panicle), damages of leaf gall midge (7.24% leaf damage), leaf webber (3.54 web/tree) and fruit fly (7.86% fruit infestation) as compared to the unprotected plots. Number of fruits set at stone (378.54/tree) and harvest stages (232.25/tree) were higher in protected trees giving significantly higher yield in protected (58.06 kg/tree) over untreated (21.82 kg/tree) trees followed by significant lower fruit dropping (38.51%) in the former over the latter (50.58%). The avoidable yield losses due to insect-pests was to the tune of 61.51% resulting into net profit of Rs. 69,780/ ha. in protected trees over control.
Determination of psychosocial care practices and needs of oncology nurses

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the psychosocial nursing practices and needs of oncology nurses by testing the validity and reliability of the scale by adapting and applying the questionnaire prepared by the American Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) group to determine the psychosocial nursing practices and needs of oncology nurses. Method: The study was descriptive. The questionnaire consisted of a total of 24 questions, including 4 questions about socio-demographic characteristics and 20 Likert-type questions. The research group consisted of 201 oncology nurses in Turkey. Content Validity Ratio (CVR) was calculated. Content Validity Ratio (CVR) was higher than 80% of the experts’ consensus for all items. KMO was satisfactory (KMO. 0.820) and the assumption of sphericity was met (22–4003.071.0.001). Using the split-half method (dividing the test into two halves), the reliability values of Strict Parallel (0.922) and Gutman Split Half Coefficients (0.916) were high and the scale was found to be reliable. Results and conclusions: The Determination of Psychosocial Care Practices and Needs of oncology nurses questionnaire is a valid and reliable scale that can be used in Turkish. When the results of this questionnaire were examined to determine the needs of oncology nurses during Psychosocial Care Practices, it was found that there were deficiencies such as lack of time, knowledge, experience and resources. At the same time, it is recommended that this study be used in different studies with large sample groups in order to contribute to the literature as a guide for oncology buses.
A Smart-Visio Microphone For Audio-Visual Speech Recognition "Vmike"

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The practical implementation of audio-video coupled speech recognition systems is mainly limited by the hardware complexity to integrate two radically different information capturing devices with good temporal synchronisation. In this paper, we propose a solution based on a smart CMOS image sensor in order to simplify the hardware integration difficulties. By using on-chip image processing, this smart sensor can calculate in real time the X/Y projections of the captured image. This on-chip projection reduces considerably the volume of the output data. This data-volume reduction permits a transmission of the condensed visual information via the same audio channel by using a stereophonic input available on most of the standard computation devices such as PC, PDA and mobile phones. A prototype called VMIKE (Visio-Microphone) has been designed and realised by using standard 0.35um CMOS technology. A preliminary experiment gives encouraged results. Its efficiency will be further investigated in a large variety of applications such as biometrics, speech recognition in noisy environments, and vocal control for military or disabled persons, etc.
Ocular Problems of the Aging Military Aviator

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Approximately 20% of all the USAF aviators are now over the age of 40. Over 60% of the U.S. civilian airline pilots are over the age of 40. Because of the age 60 rule, these pilots must retire when they reach 60 years of age. We decided to look at what are the ocular/visual problems that brought our senior USAF aviators to the Consultation Service at the USAF School of Aerospace Medicine at Brooks AFB, Texas. The Consultation Service evaluates all USAF aviators who have a medical problem that threatens their flight status. Following a through medical workup, our staff makes a recommendation to the USAF Surgeon Generals Office. This might be grounding, further treatment, a waiver to return to flight status or change in flight status. (1)
MICROWAVE PRETREATMENT OF LIGNOCELLULOSIC BIOMASS TO RELEASE MAXIMUM PHENOLIC ACIDS

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The objectives fixed by world’s governments concerning energy transition have aroused interest on lignocellulosic biomass utilization for bioenergy and green chemistry applications. However, due to their resistant structure, deconstructive pretreatments are necessary to render possible biological conversions of these lignocellulosic residues. Microwave (MW) treatment has been reported as efficient in many biotechnology fields; biomass pretreatment for biorefinery purposes is another possible application. This work presents the effects of MW pretreatment on underexploited natural agri-food biomass of economic interest: wheat bran, miscanthus stalks and corn stalks. Various parameters were studied including solvent, power density, treatment duration, pressure. Effects were evaluated by a complete biomass characterization before and after treatment, with main focus on phenolic acids release. In the tested conditions and when compared to the high NaOH consumption reference extraction method for phenolic acids, the atmospheric pressure (open vessel) microwave treatment did not allow attaining high acid yields (Fig.1). The most important parameters for improving treatment efficiency were power density and solvent. In order to increase yields, microwave treatments under pressure were carried out to reach higher temperatures while taking care as to not exceed the acid denaturation temperature (150°C) and to avoid the formation of inhibitors. Phenolic acids yields and biomass composition are currently being processed and will be discussed.
Fusion and expansion of vitellogenin vesicles during Caenorhabditis elegans intestinal senescence

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Abstract Some of the most conspicuous aging phenotypes of C. elegans are related to post‐reproductive production of vitellogenins (Vtg), which form yolk protein (YP) complexes after processing and lipid loading. Vtg/YP levels show huge increases with age, and inhibition of this extends lifespan, but how subcellular and organism‐wide distribution of these proteins changes with age has not been systematically explored. Here, this has been done to understand how vitellogenesis promotes aging. The age‐associated changes of intestinal vitellogenin vesicles (VVs), pseudocoelomic yolk patches (PYPs), and gonadal yolk organelles (YOs) have been characterized by immuno‐electron microscopy. We find that from reproductive adult day 2 (AD 2) to post‐reproductive AD 6 and AD 9, intestinal VVs expand from 0.2 to 3–4 μm in diameter or by >3000 times in volume, PYPs increase by >3 times in YP concentration and volume, while YOs in oocytes shrink slightly from 0.5 to 0.4 μm in diameter or by 49% in volume. In AD 6 and AD 9 worms, mislocalized YOs found in the hypodermis, uterine cells, and the somatic gonadal sheath can reach a size of 10 μm across in the former two tissues. This remarkable size increase of VVs and that of mislocalized YOs in post‐reproductive worms are accompanied by extensive fusion between these Vtg/YP‐containing vesicular structures in somatic cells. In contrast, no fusion is seen between YOs in oocytes. We propose that in addition to the continued production of Vtg, excessive fusion between VVs and mislocalized YOs in the soma worsen the aging pathologies seen in C. elegans .
