Nutritional Value and Quality of Processed Mango Fruits

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is one of the most important tropical fruits commercialized and consumed worldwide, and an excellent source of fibre, bioactive compounds such as pro-vitamin A carotenoids, vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and phenolics. Mango was used in this thesis as a model fruit of fruits and vegetables that are rich sources of nutrients. They are highly perishable, prone to progressive undesired changes if stored untreated. As a result, large amounts of mango are lost annually in many areas of the world including Mozambique. To reduce postharvest losses of fruits, processing is recommended since it extends the shelf life and enable the availability off-season, and the promotion of consumption is a potential health enhancing strategy. However, processing of fruits and vegetables must be carefully designed to achieve a high sensory and nutritional quality of the final products. The aim of the present thesis was thus to evaluate the effect of conventional and novel processing techniques on the retention of vitamin C and β-carotene, two major bioactive compounds, in minimally processed or dried mango products.The effect of osmotic dehydration (OD) with or without vitamin C or calcium prior to hot air-drying was evaluated in terms of the retention of vitamin C and β-carotene in dried mango. Fortification of OD solutions with either calcium or vitamin C was shown to be an efficient way to improve the retention of vitamin C and carotenoids in dried mango. OD pre-treatment reduced the hardness, drying time, and prevented colour changes. The potential use of alternative blanching techniques to improve the retention of vitamin C and β-carotene in processed mango was explored using infrared (IR) and microwave (MW) dry blanching and blanching in a closed plastic bag immersed in water bath at (High-Temperature-Short-Time - HTST) or (Low-Temperature-Long-Time - LTLT), prior to hot air-drying. Complete inactivation of PPO was achieved, while a minor activity of AAO remained. An improved retention of vitamin C in dried mango was achieved using IR and MW dry blanching or water blanching in plastic bag in comparison to conventional water blanching. However, the retention of all-trans-β-carotene was higher in dried mango after water blanching than after dry blanching. In conclusion, a correct selection of suitable techniques and conditions for blanching can enhance the nutritional value of dried mango and inactivate enzymes that degrade vitamin C and β-carotene.To address the problem of reduced sensory and nutritional quality during the processing of purées, the impact of acidification, addition of EDTA or water blanching at HTST, on the retention of vitamin C (L-AA and DHAA) and β-carotene was evaluated in mango purée. The results showed that the disruption of the cellular matrix during purée processing facilitates oxidative reactions of vitamin C and of all-trans-β-carotene unless protected by an initial blanching step, pH adjustments or addition of EDTA a chelating agent to inhibit AAO and PPO activities.

Fulminant Eosinophilic Myocarditis Without Peripheral Eosinophilia

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Eosinophilic myocarditis is a rare form of myocarditis characterized by eosinophilic infiltration and usually associated with peripheral hypereosinophilia. The clinical spectrum of eosinophilic myocarditis ranges widely, from mildly symptomatic to fulminant disease. When patients have fulminant eosinophilic myocarditis, high-dose corticosteroids can lead to dramatic improvement and peripheral eosinophil counts are used as an indicator of response to treatment. However, in some patients, peripheral eosinophilia is absent at initial presentation; reaching a diagnosis and determining treatment response can be challenging in this situation. This report describes a patient with fulminant eosinophilic myocarditis who initially presented with a normal peripheral eosinophil count, was diagnosed through an early endomyocardial biopsy, and was successfully treated with corticosteroids. Endomyocardial biopsy should be performed to confirm the presence of myocardial eosinophilic infiltration, especially for patients who present with fulminant myocarditis, even when peripheral eosinophilia is absent.

Untargeted metabolomics to assess effects of rye diet enriched with plant protein and fermentable fiber on appetite

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Neonatal encephalopathy (NE) is defined as a condition of impaired neurological function often caused by a peripartum event that impairs gas exchange resulting in hypoxia, hypercapnia, cerebral ischemia, and metabolic acidosis. NE is a significant cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is the standard of care for the treatment of moderate and severe NE and has significantly improved long-term outcomes for affected infants. There are extensive systemic physiologic effects associated with TH that clinicians need to be aware of to optimize care for these infants. There is a paucity of literature that comprehensively identifies causal relationships between the physiologic and biochemical effects of TH. This can leave neonatal clinicians devoid of a comprehensive understanding of the medical management of NE. Therefore, this article seeks to help fill this gap, improve clinician knowledge base, and ultimately improve the care of infants undergoing TH.
Effect of Aging Time and Retail Displaying Period with a Short-Term Temperature Abuse on Color Stability of Two Beef Muscles

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Meat color and tenderness are two most important quality factors affecting consumers’ decision on meat purchasing. Post-mortem meat aging has been widely practiced to improve palatability attributes, but could be adversely related to meat color. In particular, temperature abuse during aging or retail display can negatively affect the color stability of aged meat. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of aging time and short-term temperature abuse during display on color stability of two beef muscles (M. longissimus dorsi, LD and semitendinosus, ST). LD and ST muscles were separated from three beef carcasses, vacuum-packaged and assigned into 4 different aging times (7, 14, 21 and 28 days) at 2ºC. After each assigned aging, each sample was cut into a steak, overwrap packaged with PVC film on a tray, and displayed for 7 days at 2ºC under light. At 4 d display, temperature abuse on displayed muscles was performed by placing packages at 10ºC for 45 min and 20ºC for 15 min (total 1h). Beef aged for 21 and 28d were more sensitive to discoloration induced by temperature abuse. Between two different muscles, ST was rapidly discolored compared to LD. Myoglobin content, non-heme iron content, ferric ion reducing capacity, and lipid oxidation of the steaks after display were determined. Non-heme iron content, ferric ion reducing capacity and lipid oxidation were increasing as the aging time increased. These findings suggest that longer aged beef is more susceptible to discoloration under the temperature abused condition due to reduced antioxidant properties.
Defining the volume of rabies immunoglobulins/ rabies monoclonal antibodies requirement for wound infiltration of category III animal exposures – an exploratory study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

WHO recommends infiltration of rabies immunoglobulins/rabies monoclonal antibodies as anatomically possible, into or close to all category III animal bite wound(s)/exposures for post exposure prophylaxis. The volume required for wound infiltration depending upon the site/size/severity of wound is yet to be defined for guiding the treating physicians. This study aimed to determine the volume of rabies immunoglobulin/rabies monoclonal antibody required for wound infiltration depending upon the site, size, and severity. A prospective cohort study was conducted including category III animal exposures at the anti-rabies clinic, KIMS hospital and Research Center, Bangalore, India. The volume of rabies immunoglobulins/rabies monoclonal antibodies required for wound infiltration, depending on site, severity, and size was determined. All the subjects were followed for 6 months to demonstrate the safety and clinical efficacy of post exposure prophylaxis. The present study included 717 subjects having 1428 bite wounds. There was a significant difference in the median volume required for wound infiltration based on site, size, and severity of bite wounds. However, on pairwise comparison; the median volume among all the pairs for only wound size was found to be statistically significant. Supportively, a strong positive correlation was seen with the size of wound and volume infiltrated. The volume of rabies immunoglobulin/rabies monoclonal antibodies required for wound infiltration shall be determined according to size of wounds, i.e. 1 ml for <1 cm wound, 3 ml for 1-5 cm wound, and 5 ml for >5 cm wound.
Fuzzy Self-tuning Tracking Differentiator for Motion Measurement Sensors and Application in Wide-Bandwidth High-accuracy Servo Control

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Sensor differential signals are widely used in many systems. The tracking differentiator (TD) is an effective method to obtain signal differentials. Differential calculation is noise-sensitive. There is the characteristics of low-pass filter (LPF) in the TD to suppress the noise, but phase lag is introduced. For LPF, fixed filtering parameters cannot achieve both noise suppression and phase compensation lag compensation. We propose a fuzzy self-tuning tracking differentiator (FSTD) capable of adaptively adjusting parameters, which uses the frequency information of the signal to achieve a trade-off between the phase lag and noise suppression capabilities. Based on the frequency information, the parameters of TD are self-tuning by a fuzzy method, which makes self-tuning designs more flexible. Simulations and experiments using motion measurement sensors show that the proposed method has good filtering performance for low-frequency signals and improves tracking ability for high-frequency signals compared to fixed-parameter differentiator.
Thermal management investigation on fluid processing within porous rhombic cavities: Heatlines versus entropy generation

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract The study of natural convection in rhombic enclosure has been a subject of interest in the recent past. In the current work, the effect of various shapes of the rhombic enclosure ( φ = 45°, 60°, and 75°) is investigated for fixed areas ( A = 0.5, 1, and 1.5) over an extensive range of parameters ( Pr m = 0.015 − 1000, Da m = 10 −5 − 10 −2 , and Ra m = 10 6 ) for an optimal thermal configuration. The rhombic enclosure is subjected to the isothermal heating of the bottom wall along with the cold side and top walls. The results are shown in the form of entropy generation maps ( S θ and S ψ ) along with the heatlines (Π), streamlines ( ψ ), and isotherms ( θ ). It is observed that S θ decreases near the left wall whereas S θ near the top and right walls increases with φ , irrespective of A . A large regime near the bottom portion of the left wall and right portion of the bottom wall corresponds to the higher magnitude of S ψ and that extends over a wider region for the higher φ . The results in terms of total entropy generation ( S total ), average Bejan number ( Be av ), and average Nusselt number ( ) are compared with those within the square cavity ( ). Overall, it may be concluded that the rhombic enclosure with at A = 0.5 is the optimal configuration for the thermal processing of the fluids based on the moderate S total and .
Compensation method for metal defect detection based on deep learning and ultrasonic wave

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Ultrasonic nondestructive testing plays a crucial role in evaluating the integrity of metal structures. When there are defects in the tested workpiece, there will be reflection, refraction, diffraction, and other behaviors of sound waves. By analyzing the ultrasonic echo signal, the location and depth of defects can be identified. In previous ultrasonic defect detection, due to changes in the ultrasonic probe, the identified defects may change, affecting the accuracy of defect discrimination. This paper proposes a method for detecting the depth of metal cracks based on deep learning. This method combines finite element models and experimental analysis data to compensate for the depth of metal cracks, improving the accuracy of defect identification. Finally, an ultrasonic experimental study on metal components was conducted to verify the effectiveness of this method.
A Depth-Adaptive Filtering Method for Effective GPR Tree Roots Detection in Tropical Area

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

This study presents a technique for processing Stepfrequency continuous wave (SFCW) ground penetrating radar (GPR) data to detect tree roots. SFCW GPR is portable and enables precise control of energy levels, balancing depth and resolution trade-offs. However, the high-frequency components of the transmission band suffers from poor penetrating capability and generates noise that interferes with root detection. The proposed time-frequency filtering technique uses a short-time Fourier transform (STFT) to track changes in frequency spectrum density over time. To obtain the filter window, a weighted linear regression (WLR) method is used. By adopting a conversion method that is a variant of the chirp Z-Transform (CZT), the timefrequency window filters out frequency samples that are not of interest when doing the frequency-to-time domain data conversion. The proposed depth-adaptive filter window can selfadjust to different scenarios, making it independent of soil information and effectively determines subsurface tree roots. The technique is successfully validated using SFCW GPR data from actual sites in a tropical area with different soil moisture levels, and the two-dimensional (2D) radar map of subsurface root systems is highly improved compared to existing methods.
Interactions Among Evaporation, Ice Cover, and Water Temperature on Lake Superior: Decadal, Interannual, and Seasonal Variability

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Lake Superior, the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area, has enormous impacts on the regional weather and climate. The lake also comprises over half of the total water volume in the Great Lakes system and is an important resource for commercial shipping, water supplies, hydropower, recreation, and aquatic ecosystems. Water temperature and evaporation on Lake Superior have been found to be increasing in recent decades, while ice cover has been decreasing at a very rapid pace. A careful analysis of the long-term trends, however, shows that these changes have not been linear through time. Rather, a step-change occurred in 1997/98 that resulted in a drop in ice duration of nearly 40 days, a 3°C increase in summer water temperature, and a near doubling of July-August evaporation rates. Linear regression analysis of data on either side of this step change shows trends which are largely insignificant and even opposite in sign from those of the step change. Using time-lagged correlation and composite analysis, interactions among ice cover, water temperature, and evaporation are explored across seasonal and interannual timescales. Fall evaporation rates are found to be significantly correlated with ice cover in the following winter, presumably as a result of strong latent heat flux leading to rapid ice onset and growth. Similarly, ice cover is found to be a strong determinant of summer water temperature. This, in turn, can lead to changes in late-summer evaporation rates. Quantifying these complex interactions is important for assessing the potential impacts of future climate change on large-lake systems. Key to this understanding is the direct measurement of lake surface processes such as evaporation and sensible heat flux. As such, this study includes an analysis of the first direct observations of nearshore evaporation rates on the Great Lakes, using eddy covariance data collected from a monitoring station on Granite Island (near Marquette, Michigan). The data are analyzed for the period October 2010 to April 2012 to explore the seasonal and interannual variations in latent and sensible heat fluxes over Lake Superior, as well as some of the primary climatic factors driving this variability.\nAdviser: John D.

Fizz and gas reservoir discrimination by AVO inversion

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

The elastic properties of the reservoir can be inverted from the prestack seismic angle gather. By using the elastic properties P‐wave velocity, S‐wave velocity, and density, the bulk modulus and shear modulus can be calculated. Gassmann's equation can be applied for the fluid substituation. For the different fluid, the saturated reservoir elastic properties can be derived for the saturated rocks by using Gassmann's equation. In this study, the simplified Gassmann's equation is applied and the fluid modulus can be calculated after the prestack seismic inversion. For the prospect area, using some known information, the predicted fluid properties are consistent with the drilling result.
The Problem of the Normal Hydrogen Molecule in the New Quantum Mechanics

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

The solution of Schroedinger's equation for the normal hydrogen molecule is approximated by the function $C[{e}^{\ensuremath{-}\frac{z({r}_{1}+{p}_{2})}{a}}+{e}^{\ensuremath{-}\frac{z({r}_{2}+{p}_{1})}{a}}]$ where $a=\frac{{h}^{2}}{4{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{2}m{e}^{2}}$, ${r}_{1}$ and ${p}_{1}$ are the distances of one of the electrons to the two nuclei, and ${r}_{2}$ and ${p}_{2}$ those for the other electron. The value of $Z$ is so determined as to give a minimum value to the variational integral which generates Schroedinger's wave equation. This minimum value of the integral gives the approximate energy $E$. For every nuclear separation $D$, there is a $Z$ which gives the best approximation and a corresponding $E$. We thus obtain an approximate energy curve as a function of the separation. The minimum of this curve gives the following data for the configuration corresponding to the normal hydrogen molecule: the heat of dissociation = 3.76 volts, the moment of inertia ${J}_{0}=4.59\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}41}$ gr. ${\mathrm{cm}}^{2}$, the nuclear vibrational frequency ${\ensuremath{\nu}}_{0}=4900$ ${\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$.
