EFFECTS OF BLANCHING AND FROZEN STORAGE ON THE PROXIMATE COMPOSITION OF FOUR LEAFY VEGETABLE WIDELY CONSUMED IN ILARO COMMUNITY, OGUN STATE, NIGERIA

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Vegetables are edible parts of the plants which are usually cooked and salted before consumption with other foods. They also include leaves, stems, roots , flowers, seeds, fruits, bulbs, tubers and fungi. The proximate composition of four leafy vegetable widel y consumed in Ilaro community of Ogun state, Nigeria, subjected to blanching and frozen storage were investigated in this present work. The result of the proximate composition calculated on dry weight basis indicated that the Ash contents ranged from 6.26 ‐ 23.00% while the Fat contents ranged between 2.03 and 5.80% for all the samples. Protein contents also ranged from 17.44 ‐ 32.83% with fibre content varying between 2.68 and 5.20% for the samples. The carbohydrate contents for the samples were between 46.00 and 60.03%. Except for the carbohydrate contents which showed a gradual increase in values, all other parameters evaluated decreased in values as the frozen day progressed.
Mineral Status of Livestock, Soil, Feeds and Fodders in Ajmer District of Rajasthan

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

A large number of Indian livestock suffer from deficiencies or imbalances in minerals because they are mainly maintained on crop residue based rations and grazing without access to mineral supplement (Mc Dowell et al., 1993). Deficiency or imbalance of single or multiple minerals results in enzymatic dysfunction and hormonal imbalance associated with fertility of animals (Maurice, 2003). In India where dietary concentration of fodder fed to the animals are unknown or highly variable due to availability, season, location, forage, species and animal potential (Sharma et al., 2003), it is important to determine plasma mineral concentrations in animal region wise, to estimate needs of livestock so as to obtain optimum productivity and to access the effect of mineral deficiencies on serum vitamins, hormone and enzyme profile. Limited information is available on the feeding practices and mineral status of livestock, soil and feed in Kekri block of Ajmer district. Keeping this in view the present study was conducted in Kekri block of Ajmer district to establish relationship for different minerals among livestock, soil and feed in order to suggest dietary supplementation of area specific mineral mixture.
Differential Effects of Likelihood Alarm Technology and False-Alarm vs. Miss Prone Automation on Decision Making

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Past research concerning decision support tools has primarily focused on either false-alarm prone (FP) or miss-prone (MP) automation. Some studies have explored performance disparities of binary versus likelihood alarm technology (BAT vs. LAT) but only in FP automation. The goal of this study was to explore differential effects of alarm technology and FP vs. MP automation on human decision-making accuracy. One-hundred university students performed a low-fidelity uninhabited aerial vehicle flight simulation, composed of two primary flight tasks and an automation-aided secondary weapon-deployment task. As expected, participants' decision-making accuracy was highest when using LAT, specifically with FP prone automation. These findings provide support for incorporating LAT into FP prone automation to enhance human decision-making accuracy.
[Structure and function changes of oxidized human serum albumin: physiological significance of the biomarker and importance of sampling conditions for accurate measurement].

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

Human serum albumin (HSA) exists in both reduced and oxidized forms, and the percentage of oxidized albumin increases in several diseases; however, little is known regarding the pathological and physiological significance of oxidation due to poor characterization of the precise structural and functional properties of oxidized HSA. Here, we characterize both structural and functional differences between reduced and oxidized HSA. Using LC-ESITOFMS and FTMS analysis, we determined that the major structural change in oxidized HSA in healthy human plasma is a disulfide-bonded cysteine at the thiol of Cys34 of reduced HSA. Based on this structural information, we prepared standard samples of purified HSA, e.g. nonoxidized (intact purified HSA which mainly exists in reduced form), mildly oxidized and highly oxidized HSA. Using these standards, we demonstrated several differences in functional properties of HSA, including protease susceptibility, ligand-binding affinity and antioxidant activity. From these observations, we conclude that an increased level of oxidized HSA may impair HSA function in a number of pathological conditions. In addition, we determined blood and plasma sampling conditions for accurate measurement of the oxidized albumin ratio in plasma using EST-TOFMS screening.
Detecting and Correcting Misalignment in Aymetrix Data

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Affymetrix oligonucleotide chips have individual features printed on them in a square grid arrangement. After hybridization with a biological sample, these chips are then scanned, producing a raw image (DAT) file. A regular grid defined by a bilinear mapping using just the corners is fit to the image, yielding several rectangular pixel regions for each feature, and these regions are then summarized in a quantification (CEL) file. All further processing works on the quantification file. Unfortunately, scanner distortion can occasionally introduce enough distortion in the image that the default grid is misaligned over large portions of the chip. This problem was first diagnosed with CV plots and corrected by Zuzan et al. (2001), who describe an iterative method for adjusting each feature within the grid in turn. Our method of correction is intermediate between the bilinear fit and the exhaustive fit and relies on the regular placement of quality control features on the edges of Affymetrix chips. The signal to noise level on the edges makes it easy to both detect misalignment and to align features properly there, and the interior lattice is then interpolated. While this method does not address all types of misalignment, it does address those we have encountered, and we found it somewhat easier to implement and summarize.
Traditional Honey Wine Prepared with Nuruk-Yeast Mixture

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Fermentation characteristics for the production of honey wine with Saccharomyces sake, Saccharomyces bayanus and nuruk were investigated. Among the yeast strains and the mixture with nuruk tested, nuruk-Sacch. sake mixture and nuruk-Sacch. bayanus mixture showed higher alcohol production and better fermentability than the single strains. Total acid and pH did not change considerably during the whole period of fermentation. As the fermentation progressed, reducing sugar decreased rapidly until the 6 days of fermentation, while alcohol content increased rapidly during the same period. In fermentation of 6 days, honey wine consisted of about of soluble solid, of reducing sugar. Alcohol content were reached up to 12.5 and 13.1% for honey wine manufactured with nuruk-Sacch. sake mixture and nuruk-Sacch. bayanus mixture, respectively, relative to of the single strains. Generally, honey wines prepared with the mixture of nuruk-yeast strains were fermented more efficiently than those with the single yeast.

Family Leave and Return-to-Work Experiences of Physician Mothers

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The present study, capturing one of the largest and most heterogeneous samples of physician mothers, showed that a substantial number of women physicians working in a variety of specialties at all levels of training across the United States needed and wanted more support for maternity leave and return to work. Support at the institutional level, such as paid leave, adequate breast pumping time without penalty, on-site childcare, and schedule flexibility, would likely provide the greatest direct assistance to help physician mothers thrive in their careers.
Shape Optimisation of Grooves in Grooved Gusset Plate Damper used in X-Braced Frame

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The X-braced frame represents a specialized variation of concentric-braced frames. It can be used as a resistance towards the lateral load acting on the structural system. X-braced frames generally exhibit lower flexibility when compared to eccentrically braced and moment frames, which is often perceived as a drawback of this structural system. To address this limitation, energy dissipation devices can be integrated into the system with X-bracings to absorb the plastic action and safeguard other structural elements, such as columns, beams and connections from earthquake forces. Specifically, X-concentrically braced frames are tailored through variations in groove shapes. Furthermore, the investigation determines the dampers' load-bearing and energy dissipation capacities. The assessment commences with cyclic load testing conducted using the ANSYS software. The grooves present in GGPD help dissipate seismic energy. The energy dissipation and load-bearing capacity of the X-concentrically braced frame equipped with a grooved gusset plate damper were compared based on different groove shapes. The different shapes used for the analysis were L shape, oval, rectangular and stadium shape. It was observed that oval-shaped grooves have more energy dissipation capacity among four groove shapes, with an increase of 10.74%.

Mass personalisation: A strategy for building brand equity in the healthcare sector

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Marketing and content personalisation is a popular concept in the marketing field. With media consumption becoming more and more fractured, brands are attempting to drive growth by reaching niche audiences. Achieving individualised personalisation requires enormous effort to create truly differentiated messages and user journeys. Kaiser Permanente’s Mid-Atlantic region (KPMAS), in partnership with the Baltimore Sun Media Group (BSMG), developed a personalisation regime by leveraging psychographic segments based on Jungian archetypes to deliver personalisation at scale. This framework informed the messaging strategies, user journeys and media posture for a campaign to build positive brand equity in the Washington, DC, and Baltimore, Maryland Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS). This paper details the strategies, tactics and results of a six-month campaign conducted in Q2/Q3 of 2022. Readers can learn the techniques used to drive this successful effort — and the importance of marrying messaging and media to drive campaign performance.
COINTEGRATION ANALYSIS ON JAPANâ€™S AGGREGATE IMPORT DEMAND FUNCTION: DOES DATA FREQUENCY MATTER?

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This study aims to empirically re-examine Japanâ€™s long-run aggregate import demand function using a variety of cointegration tests. The primary contribution of this study is to compare estimates obtained from samples of quarterly, biannual, and annual data for the period 1973 to 2000. The results of bounds test and Johansenâ€™s multivariate test show that the quantity of imports, real incomes, and relative import prices are consistently cointegrated regardless of data frequency. In contrast, the Engle-Grangerâ€™s residual-based and error correction mechanism tests reveal no cointegrating relationship in Japanâ€™s aggregate import equation. This study thus concludes that data frequency does not affect estimates of Japanâ€™s aggregate import demand function, but that the choice of cointegration techniques does.
Effectiveness of Interventions for Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder and Their Parents: A Systematic Review of Family Outcomes

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract This systematic review examined the literature published from January 2006 to April 2013 related to the effectiveness of occupational therapy interventions for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their parents to improve parental stress and self-efficacy, coping, and resilience and family participation in daily life and routines. From the 4,457 abstracts, 34 articles were selected that matched the inclusion criteria. The results were mixed and somewhat inconclusive because this body of literature is in its infancy. Studies of children with ASD do not routinely measure parental and family outcomes. Recommendations include an emphasis on family measures other than parental stress and a greater focus on measures of parental and family functioning in all future studies of pediatric interventions to more fully understand the impact of interventions in a wider context.

A Study of Straw Resources Prediction Based on the BP Neural Network: A Case Study of Jiangsu Province

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Straw is the largest renewable resource on the Earth. There are about 60-80 million ton of straw resources produced each year in China. It is necessary to predict the amount of straw resources in order to reasonably develop and use straw resources,which would be helpful in easing increasingly serious contradictions among resources shortage,environmental pollution,and economic development. Jiangsu Province,rich in straw resources,is one of the biggest agricultural provinces. The Back-Propagation(BP) neural network method was used to identify and predict a non-linear procedure for resources assessment. First of all,the author systematically analyzed comprehensive utilization and trend factors of straw resources in Jiangsu. Currently,straw resources are primarily utilized as fertilizer,energy,industrial raw materials,animal feed,and base materials. The trend factors of straw resources are the economic output of crops,the ratio,and the collection coefficient of straw. This study examined straw resources in Jiangsu Province using data from statistical yearbooks during the period 1990-2008 and data collected in 2009 combined with the BP neural network method,predicting trends in straw resources with indices of theoretical amount,per capita amount,and per planting area amount. Results show that the relative errors of the established BP neural network model were basically ～5% and the average relative errors were ～2%. The prediction of the BP network model showed a higher fitting degree with reference to reality,which is indicative of its good ability to adapt to the data. Using the established BP neural network model,the author predicted the amount of straw resources in the next five years,showing that the theoretical amount would vary between 3.9～4.1 million tons,the per capita amount would vary between 650～900 kg,and per planting area amount would vary between 4.7～5.5 tons per hm2. The development trend of the theoretical estimates would be generally stable in Jiangsu Province while the trends in per capita amount and per planting area amount would decline. The findings of this study would be useful for providing recommendations on development and utilization of straw resources in Jiangsu Province.
A Comparative Study on Safety and Efficacy of Caudal, Thoracic Epidural and Intra Venous Analgesia in Paediatric Cardiac Surgery: A Double Blind Randomised Trial

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction:Regional anaesthesia combined with general anaesthesia reduces stress response to surgery, duration of ventilation, intensive care unit (ICU) stay and promotes early recovery. Studies on thoracic epidural, caudal analgesia along with general anaesthesia (GA) in paediatric cardiac surgery are limited hence we aimed to compare efficacy and safety of caudal, thoracic epidural and intravenous analgesia in paediatric cardiac surgery. Methodology: This study was conducted in the Department of Anaesthesiology in a tertiary care teaching hospital in southern India from February 2019 to December 2019. 90 children were randomised into group A, group B, group C. Children in group A received caudal analgesia along with GA. Group B children received thoracic epidural along with GA. Group C patients received intravenous analgesia along with GA. Rescue analgesia 1 mcg/kg fentanyl given in all 3 groups if pain score is more than 4. Primary outcome assessed was post-op pain scores. Secondary outcome assessed was duration of ventilation, duration of intensive care unit stay. Results: All patients were comparable in terms of age, sex, weight, mean RACHS score, baseline heart rate and blood pressure. Pain scores were significantly lower in thoracic epidural group compared to other two grou ps. Duration of ventilation was lower in thoracic epidural group (91.17± 43.85) minutes and caudal (199.6 ± 723.59) minutes compared to intravenous analgesia groups (436.37 ± 705.51) minutes. Duration of ICU stay was significantly low in thoracic epidural group (2.73 ± 0.69) days compared to caudal (3.7 ± 2.8) and intravenous analgesia groups (4.33 ± 0.920). We didn’t have any complications like hematoma, transient or permanent neurological sequelae in regional anesthesia groups. Conclusion: Regional anaesthesia along with general anaesthesia was more effective in pain relief than intravenous analgesia with general anaesthesia in paediatric cardiac surgery.
Renal enlargement in chronic cor pulmonale

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Examination of the post-mortem records of 1,391 unselected cases showed that the commonest condition associated with excessive diffuse enlargement of the kidneys was chronic cor pulmonale. A less striking enlargement was found in some cases of chronic rheumatic heart disease. A hypothesis is put forward in which the renal enlargement is regarded as a work hypertrophy brought about by the kidneys' efforts to compensate for a chronic respiratory acidosis.
Magneto-Inductive Powering and Uplink of In-Body Microsensors: Feasibility and High-Density Effects

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This paper studies magnetic induction for wireless powering and the data uplink of microsensors, in particular for future medical in-body applications. We consider an external massive coil array as power source (1 W) and data sink. For sensor devices at 12 cm distance from the array, e.g. beneath the human skin, we compute a minimum coil size of 150 um assuming 50 nW required chip activation power and operation at 750 MHz. A 275 um coil at the sensor allows for 1 Mbit/s uplink rate. Moreover, we study resonant sensor nodes in dense swarms, a key aspect of envisioned biomedical applications. In particular, we investigate the occurring passive relaying effect and cooperative transmit beamforming in the uplink. We show that the frequency- and location-dependent signal fluctuations in such swarms allow for significant performance gains when utilized with adaptive matching, spectrally-aware signaling and node cooperation. The work is based on a general magneto-inductive MIMO system model, which is introduced first.
