EFFECT OF STRAIN AND TEMPERATURE ON RESPONSE DEGREE OF THE LOCAL IRAQI TURKEY MALES DURING SEMEN COLLECTION

This study was conducted at the turkey farm of the college of Agriculrure? Salahaddin University, by using (7) black and (10) red local turkey toms to study the effect of strain and environmental temperature on semen volume, time needed for semen collection, frequency of massage and percetage of successful trail, and to study the relation beteen pairs of characters under study. Analysis of variance showed that aenadnie had a significant effect (P&lt;0.05) on both percent of successful trails and the time needed for semen collection, and highly significant (P&lt;0.01) on frequency of massage while it was not significant on the volume of semen. Effect of environmental temperature showed a significant effect (P&lt;0.05) on the percentage of successful trail and highly significant (P&lt;0.01) on other characters. The means of characters showed that the black strain had significantly (P&lt;0.05) exceeded the red strain except for semen volume. Coefficients of correlations between pairs of characters showes a highly significant (P&lt;0.01) relationships they all showed a negative relationships except between time needed for semen collection and percent of successful trails, and between time needed for semen collection and the number of massage, which were positive. While the power of the relationship of all character in the red strain exceeded that of the black one.‎

Effects of dehydration on thermoregulation in cats exposed to high ambient temperatures

Measurements of evaporative water loss (EWL), metabolic rate (MR), body core temperature (Tc), and respiratory rate (RR) were made in nine hydrated cats exposed to several high ambient temperatures. Measurements were made in animals hydrated ad libitum and during progressive dehydration. At 43 and 40 degrees C, no significant change in EWL occurred during dehydration. At 38 and 35 degrees C, EWL in animals dehydrated for 4 days was reduced to about 50% of hydrated levels. Reductions in RR correlated highly with reduced EWL, suggesting that control of evaporation in dehydrated cats is dependent largely on control of RR. Significant elevations in Tc occurred in dehydrated animals at 43, 40, and 38 degrees C, and an insignificant upward trend was observed at 35 degrees C. Multiple linear regression analysis of data for EWL, Tc, and level of dehydration indicates that dehydration reduces the evaporative response to elevations in Tc and suggests that a change in the sensitivity of the thermoregulatory system is occurring. A similar analysis for MR, Tc, and level of dehydration shows that dehydration results in a lower MR at a given Tc. Changes in MR, corrected for body temperature, during dehydration are principally related at altered ventilatory energy expenditure. A model has been formed for estimating the metabolic cost of ventilation in the cat.

Radioiodine Therapy in Benign Thyroid Diseases: Effects, Side Effects, and Factors Affecting Therapeutic Outcome

Radioiodine (131I) therapy of benign thyroid diseases was introduced 70 yr ago, and the patients treated since then are probably numbered in the millions. Fifty to 90% of hyperthyroid patients are cured within 1 yr after 131I therapy. With longer follow-up, permanent hypothyroidism seems inevitable in Graves' disease, whereas this risk is much lower when treating toxic nodular goiter. The side effect causing most concern is the potential induction of ophthalmopathy in predisposed individuals. The response to 131I therapy is to some extent related to the radiation dose. However, calculation of an exact thyroid dose is error-prone due to imprecise measurement of the 131I biokinetics, and the importance of internal dosimetric factors, such as the thyroid follicle size, is probably underestimated. Besides these obstacles, several potential confounders interfere with the efficacy of 131I therapy, and they may even interact mutually and counteract each other. Numerous studies have evaluated the effect of 131I therapy, but results have been conflicting due to differences in design, sample size, patient selection, and dose calculation. It seems clear that no single factor reliably predicts the outcome from 131I therapy. The individual radiosensitivity, still poorly defined and impossible to quantify, may be a major determinant of the outcome from 131I therapy. Above all, the impact of 131I therapy relies on the iodine-concentrating ability of the thyroid gland. The thyroid 131I uptake (or retention) can be stimulated in several ways, including dietary iodine restriction and use of lithium. In particular, recombinant human thyrotropin has gained interest because this compound significantly amplifies the effect of 131I therapy in patients with nontoxic nodular goiter.

LEXICAL DENSITY AND GRAMMATICAL INTRICACYOF READING MATERIALS TO THE TENTH GRADE STUDENTS OF SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

This study deals with lexical density and grammatical intricacy of English reading texts in the textbook for the first grade of senior high school to measure the difficulty of the text. The objectives of the study are to find out the lexical density and grammatical intricacy which formed in the reading texts of English Alive textbook and type of genre which has the highest both of lexical density and grammatical intricacy. This study was conducted by descriptive method with qualitative approach. The data of this research were the English reading texts of English Alive textbook for senior high school grade tenth published by Yudhistira. The result of the analysis showed that: (1). lexical density is formed by unification of both lexical item and grammatical item which measured to find out the proportion of information in a text while grammatical intricacy is formed by unification of both simple clauses and complex clauses in a text which measured to find out how intricate the text is. (2). lexical density influences the difficulty of reading texts if it has higher proportion of lexical items than grammatical items, While grammatical intricacy also influences the difficulty of reading texts if it has higher proportion of complex clauses in comparison with simple clauses. In this case the result of this study shows that both LD and GI has high proportion which means that the texts are difficult to understand by the students. It is suggested that further textbook writers to concern with the lexical density and grammatical intricacy of the reading texts so that the textbook can be used and understood by the students

Associations between music and dance relationships, rhythmic proficiency, and spatiotemporal movement modulation ability in adults with and without mild cognitive impairment

Background Personalized dance-based movement therapies may improve cognitive and motor function in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a precursor to Alzheimer’s disease. While age- and MCI-related deficits reduce individuals’ abilities to perform dance-like rhythmic movement sequences (RMS)—spatial and temporal modifications to movement—it remains unclear how individuals’ relationships to dance and music affect their ability to perform RMS. Objective Characterize associations between RMS performance and music or dance relationships, as well as the ability to perceive rhythm and meter (rhythmic proficiency) in adults with and without MCI. Methods We used wearable inertial sensors to evaluate the ability of 12 young adults (YA; age = 23.9±4.2 years; 9F), 26 older adults without MCI (OA; age = 68.1±8.5 years; 16F), and 18 adults with MCI (MCI; age = 70.8±6.2 years; 10F) to accurately perform spatial, temporal, and spatiotemporal RMS. To quantify self-reported music and dance relationships and rhythmic proficiency, we developed Music (MRQ) and Dance Relationship Questionnaires (DRQ), and a rhythm assessment (RA), respectively. We correlated MRQ, DRQ, and RA scores against RMS performance for each group separately. Results The OA and YA groups exhibited better MRQ and RA scores than the MCI group ( p &lt; 0.006). Better MRQ and RA scores were associated with better temporal RMS performance for only the YA and OA groups (r 2 = 0.18–0.41; p &lt; 0.045). DRQ scores were not associated with RMS performance in any group. Conclusions Cognitive deficits in adults with MCI likely limit the extent to which music relationships or rhythmic proficiency improve the ability to perform temporal aspects of movements performed during dance-based therapies.

Probabilistic material strength degradation model for Inconel 718 components subjected to high temperature, high-cycle and low-cycle mechanical fatigue, creep and thermal fatigue effects. Final report

The development of methodology for a probabilistic material strength degradation is described. The probabilistic model, in the form of a postulated randomized multifactor equation, provides for quantification of uncertainty in the lifetime material strength of aerospace propulsion system components subjected to a number of diverse random effects. This model is embodied in the computer program entitled PROMISS, which can include up to eighteen different effects. Presently, the model includes five effects that typically reduce lifetime strength: high temperature, high-cycle mechanical fatigue, low-cycle mechanical fatigue, creep and thermal fatigue. Results, in the form of cumulative distribution functions, illustrated the sensitivity of lifetime strength to any current value of an effect. In addition, verification studies comparing predictions of high-cycle mechanical fatigue and high temperature effects with experiments are presented. Results from this limited verification study strongly supported that material degradation can be represented by randomized multifactor interaction models.

Clergy in Politics: The Opportunistic Engagement of Faith-Based Organisations in Malawi’s Politics

Abstract Malawi is a profoundly religious society and faith-based organisations ( FBO s) play a significant role in politics, addressing social concerns and governance. This article investigates their role in Malawi’s political realm when engaging with the state and argues that the FBO s are opportunistic in their engagement. They seize upon opportunities for exerting influence when political and social issues dictate that action be taken in accordance with religious tenets of social responsibility, in tandem with fluctuating levels of political tension. Typical high points of tension are elections, but other controversial issues may also feature prominently. FBO s consider suitable entry points and tools of advocacy at their disposal within existing opportunity structures. As organised religion, we find that faith communities have engaged and continue to engage with the political establishment through various means, predominantly by issuing pastoral letters and statements.

General Hospital and Personal Use Devices: Renaming of Pediatric Hospital Bed Classification and Designation of Special Controls for Pediatric Medical Crib; Classification of Medical Bassinet. Final rule.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing a final rule to rename pediatric hospital beds as pediatric medical cribs and establish special controls for these devices. FDA is also establishing a separate classification regulation for medical bassinets, previously under the pediatric hospital bed classification regulation, as a class II (special controls) device. In addition, this rule continues to allow both devices to be exempt from premarket notification and use of the device in traditional health care settings and permits prescription use of pediatric medical cribs and bassinets outside of traditional health care settings.

Relationship of Two Measures of Conformity

The intent of the present research was to study the Popular ( P ) response as measured by the Harrower (1943) Multiple-choice Group Rorschach Test in relationship to Scale M of the Cattell ( 1964) Sixteen Personality Factor Test Questionnaire (16 PF). The P response and Scale M generally have been assumed to measure an individual's degree of conformity. The question of whether there is any relationship between the Multiple-choice Group Rorschach Test and the 16 PF concerning the variable of conformity has not been explored. Accordingly the present investigation measured the relationship of the two instruments for assessing conformity. Both instruments describe the conforming person somewhat differently but suggest that high scores are expressive of the social stereotype of compliance with the conventional. Undergraduates, 64 males and 36 females from three classes of introductory psychology, were tested using Scale M of the 16 PF, Form B, and the Harrower Multiple-choice Group Rorschach Test. Pearson correlation coefficients were computed for the two measures for total group, males, and females. The respective correlation coefficients were -.04, .07, and -.19; for each group the correlation coefficient was nonsignificant. The mean stanine scores for Scale M and the P response for each of the three groups were: total data, 6.51 and 5.25; males, 6.78 and 5.14; females, 6.08 and 5.47, respectively. The range of the scores for Scale M was 1 to 10 and for the P response, 3 to 9. The data were analyzed for possible relationships by calculating chi squares after dividing the data at the midpoint of the Scale M scores and the P responses and using only the extremes. The chi squares for the males, the females, and the rotal group did not approach significance ( 9 < .05, one tail, in the expected direction). These data support the notion that there is no agreement between the two scores as measures of conformity. Caution is required in drawing conclusions because the research is exploratory and heuristic. The utility of these findings, however, appears worthy of further investigation.

The Role of Tissue-resident γδ T Cells in Stress Surveillance and Tissue Maintenance

While forming a minor population in the blood and lymphoid compartments, γδ T cells are significantly enriched within barrier tissues. In addition to providing protection against infection, these tissue-resident γδ T cells play critical roles in tissue homeostasis and repair. γδ T cells in the epidermis and intestinal epithelium produce growth factors and cytokines that are important for the normal turnover and maintenance of surrounding epithelial cells and are additionally required for the efficient recognition of, and response to, tissue damage. A role for tissue-resident γδ T cells is emerging outside of the traditional barrier tissues as well, with recent research indicating that adipose tissue-resident γδ T cells are required for the normal maintenance and function of the adipose tissue compartment. Here we review the functions of tissue-resident γδ T cells in the epidermis, intestinal epithelium, and adipose tissue, and compare the mechanisms of their activation between these sites.

A Comparative Study of Perceived Social Support among Persons with Schizophrenia and Mania

Background: In recent years social support has emerged as an important influencing variable and perhaps determining outcome in various disorders. It is proposed and generally accepted that social support buttresses against the deleterious of stress. In the context of better outcome of schizophrenia and mania in India and other developing countries, consideration of social support as an influential variable assumes importance. So the present study was conducted with the objective of to study and compare of perceived social support of the persons diagnosed with Schizophrenia and Mania and to find out its relationship with the socio-demographic variables. Methodology: The research work was done at the outpatient department of Gwalior Mansik Arogyashala, Gwalior, India. It was a cross-sectional hospital based study using purposing sampling technique. The sample consisting of 150 samples, 75 from each group diagnosed with Schizophrenia and Mania which were consented and met the inclusion criteria. Socio demographic and clinical data sheet and Social Support Questionnaire (SSQ) were used to collect the data. The persons with Schizophrenia and Mania have taken in study. Result: It indicates that persons with schizophrenia (PWS) group has less perceived social support in comparison to persons with mania (PWM) group. Conclusion: Perceived social support was correlated to symptoms because when individuals are provided a good support they cope with stressful events more effectively and thus are likely to experience less psychological distress. Keywords: Schizophrenia, bipolar affective disorder, mania, perceived social support

Diamond Detectors with Subnanosecond Time Resolution for Heavy Ion Spill Diagnostics,&amp;amp;quot; these proceedings

Abstract. The application of CVD diamonds as radiation-hard particle detectors with outstanding properties for heavy ion beamline diagnostics is presented. Synchrotron particle spills ranging from a single ion to well beyond lo8 pps can be analyzed while maintaining single-particle time resolution below fractions of a nanosecond. With segmented electrode structures on the diamond surface, higher particle count rates and improved monitoring of x/y beam profiles can be achieved. Diamond detectors with areas up to 30x30 mm * for a precise measurement system for beam intensity, beam profiles, and spill time-structure are described.

The T-786→C Mutation in Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Is Associated With Hypertension

Although the pathogenic mechanisms involved in predisposing individuals to hypertension are not well defined, evidence is accumulating that suggests a strong genetic transmission. Animal studies and some clinical investigations have revealed that aberrant NO production may be an important contributing factor. Indeed, a missense mutation in the endothelial NO gene caused by a Glu298Asp alteration has been strongly associated with essential hypertension, coronary artery spasm, and myocardial infarction. Recently, another point mutation caused by a T-786→C transition in the 5′-flanking region of the endothelial NO synthase gene has been identified and, like the Glu298Asp mutation, is associated with coronary artery spasm. The present study was conducted to determine the effect of the T-786→C point mutation on hypertension. We investigated the interaction between the endothelial NO synthase T-786→C polymorphism and blood pressure in a large (n=705) clinically healthy population. Allele frequencies for the T and C alleles were 62% and 38%, translating into 39%, 46% and 15% of the population having the T/T, T/C, and C/C genotypes, respectively, for the T-786→C point mutation. Subjects with the C/C genotype had significantly higher systolic blood pressures and were 2.16(95% confidence interval, 1.3 to 3.7) more likely to be hypertensive. Therefore, the −786 C/C genotype in NO synthase is a significant contributing factor for increasing the risk of essential hypertension.
