IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF SOLAR PANELS WITH MIRRORS

Solar energy has enormous promise as a clean and environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels. However, traditional solar panels' effectiveness is restricted by issues such as light reflection and inadequate absorption. This study looks at the use of mirrors to enhance the efficiency of solar panels by focusing sunlight on their surface, increasing the quantity of light received and converted into power. The study focuses on mirror location optimization, reflective characteristics, and the impact of various sun angles on efficiency increase. Experimental results show that strategically placing mirrors improves solar panel efficiency significantly. The findings indicate the possibility of employing mirrors to enhance the efficiency of

Permeability Change of Cerebral Vessels in Acute Hypertension and External Decompression

The role of hydrostatic factors, such as acute hypertension and decompressive craniectomy, which contribute to the permeability of cerebral vessels and to brain edema were evaluated. Adult mongrel cats were subjected to induced hypertension by means of inflation of a balloon catheter placed in the descending aorta immediately distal to the left sub-clavian artery. Craniectomy of 2×1.5 cm was done on the right front-parietal area. The animals were divided into four groups: 1) intact control group; 2) arterial hypertension group; 3) craniectomy group; 4) combined hypertension and craniectomy group. Evans blue and horseradish peroxidase were used as tracers to quantify the extent of damage to the blood-brain barrier. The water content of the regional cerebral tissues was determined by the dry-weight method. Induced hypertension produced multifocal cortical lesions staind by Evans blue. Craniectomy also resulted in similar multifocal cortical edema in both hemispheres, though more marked on the side of the craniectomy. These lesions were mainly located at the arterial boundary zones of major cerebral arteries and leakage of tracers ceased within 24 hours. No changes were observed in either brain water content or morphological findings 48 hours after insult. When a cat was subjected to both hypertension and craniectomy, these changes became markedly intensified and Evans blue, migrated further into the adjacent white matter. When the brain was examined 48 hours later, rather extensive hemispheric edema with midline structure shift was noted. The results suggested that edema of this type is sufficiently specific in its developmental pattern and is initiated by the hydrostatic pressure gradients between blood and tissue, and between areas with different tissue pressures.

Correlation of Body Composition with Pulmonary Function in Adults

Context: General population has a wide variation in physical activities ranging from the people with sedentary lifestyle to people involved in regular physical activity; there is also variation amongst different age group. All these factors may produce wide variation in body composition and this in turn affects pulmonary function. Aims: To see the correlation between various PFT parameters and various body composition parameters like body mass index (BMI), the fat percentage of the body mass (fat%), the fat-free mass (FFM), and the fat-free mass index (FFMI). Settings and Design: Cross sectional study which was done on attendants of the patients visiting AIIMS Bhopal OPD Methods and Materials: Two hundred and twenty three subjects (152 male and 71 female) in the age group of 18 to 48 years underwent the pulmonary function test and body composition assessment. Body composition was assessed using sex matched prediction equation based on skin fold thickness. Statistical Analysis Used: Univariate correlation coefficient (Pearson) was used to check the relationship between various PFT parameters and body composition. Original Research Article Agarwal and Hulke; BJMMR, 9(1): 1-10, 2015; Article no.BJMMR.18065 2 Results: In males, Fat percentage showed significant negative correlation with FEV1 (r=-0.198, p=0.014) and FEF 25-75%, p=0.0005). Fat free mas showed non-significant positive correlation with the most of the PFT parameters and fat free mass index showed significant negative correlation with the FEV1 (r=-0.164, p=0.04) and PIFR.(r=-0.174, p<0.0001). In females significant positive correlation was seen only between fat free mass and FVC. (r=0.32, p=0.005). Conclusion: Body composition has a predominant effect on pulmonary function test in males. In females, some effect is also seen. So we recommend body composition assessment for PFT interpretation.

Effect of Herbicides on Production and Protein Levels in Pasture Grasses<sup>1</sup>

Abstract Field studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of spring application of picloram (4‐amino‐3,5,6‐trichloropicolinic acid), tebuthiuron ( N ‐[5‐(1,l‐dimethylethyl)‐1,3, 4‐thiadiazol‐2‐yl] ‐N,N′‐dimethylurea), 2,4‐D (isopropyl amine of (2,4‐dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid), and glypho‐ sate ( N ‐[phosphonomethyl]glycine) on five grasses. The grasses were Common and ‘Coastal’ bermudagrass ( Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.), kleingrass ( Panicum coloratum L.), buffelgrass ( Cenchrus ciliaris L.) and an F 1 apomictic buffel × birdwood ( Cenchrus setigerus Vahl.) hybrid. Grasses were grown in soils classified as either a vertic albaqualf (bermudagrasses) or vertic haplustoll (klein‐ grass, buffelgrass, buffel × birdwood hybrid). All grasses tolerated (with regard to productivity) rates up to 2.2 kg/ha of 2,4‐D applied at all dates, and March applications of glyphosate. Common bermudagrass and klein‐ grass were tolerant to March and April applications of tebuthiuron, with later applications (June) causing reduced production. Coastal bermudagrass was tolerant to tebuthiuron applied in March but not April or June. The only adverse effects of picloram were noted for March applications to Common bermudagrass and all dates for Coastal bermudagrass. The herbicides used had little effect on protein concentration in Coastal bermudagrass. Picloram, tebuthiuron and 2,4‐D reduced protein concentrations in the buffel × birdwood hybrid. Glyphosate caused increases in protein levels in buffelgrass and kleingrass.

Latch-based FPGA emulation method for design verification: case study with microprocessor

Using latches in a digital design is considered wrong owing to the timing issue. Field-programmable gate array (FPGA) vendors also recommend flip-flops instead of latches in emulation. In this reported work, however, the usefulness and benefit of utilising latches in FPGA emulation for processor design verification is demonstrated. The study shows that a latch-based register file provides the seamless capability of functionality validation, whereas the flip-flop based one requires modification to the original design, potentially harming the completeness of functional verification. Experiment results with Xilinx and Altera devices show marginal differences in terms of emulation performance and area requirement in both approaches. This study reveals that replacing SRAM with latches rather than flip-flops is appealing and preferable in emulation with FPGAs.

Phillygenin regulates proliferation and apoptosis of non-small cell lung cancer through by AMPK/ERK/NF-κB axis.

An increasing number of studies have demonstrated that phillygenin (PG) exerts anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activities. However, the effects of PG on the proliferation and invasion in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells have not been clarified. In this study, MTT assay and flow cytometry were conducted to investigate the effect of PG on proliferation and apoptosis of NSCLC cells <i>in vitro</i>, respectively. A xenograft model of A549 cell was established in nude mice to validate the <i>in vitro</i> findings. Western blot were performed to measure the expression of molecules involved in AMPK/ERK/NF-κB pathway. Results suggested that PG (50 or 100 μM) was significantly cytotoxic to A549 cells and SPC-A1 cells <i>in vitro</i>. PG treatment also inhibited the tumor growth of NSCLC cell mouse xenografts <i>in vivo</i>. These anti-proliferative and pro-apoptosis effects of PG were found to be regulated by the AMPK/ERK/NF-κB pathway. Consequently, PG suppressed proliferation and induced cell apoptosis in NSCLC cells. In conclusions, PG regulates AMPK/ERK/NF-κB axis in NSCLC cells, thereby inhibiting the proliferation and promoting the apoptosis of NSCLC cells.

Prenatal Acute Stress Attenuated Epileptiform Activities in Neonate Mice

Objective: Development of the central nervous system (CNS) is dependent on interactionsbetween genetic and epigenetic factors, some of which could affect the susceptibilityof the developing brain to damaging insults. Gestational stress has been shown as a potentialfactor associated with higher risk of developing certain neurological and psychiatricdisorders. This study tested the hypothesis that maternal stress influences the risk ofepilepsy in offsprings.Materials and Methods: Pregnant mice were exposed to restraint stress twice a day forthree days at the start of the last week of gestation. Ten days after birth, the intact hippocampiof the newborn mice were excised and prepared for investigation. The hippocampiwere bathed in low magnesium artificial cerebrospinal fluid to induce field potential,and the subsequent spontaneous seizure-like events of the CA1 neurons were recorded.Plasma corticosterone was measured using a commercial radioimmunoassay (RIA) kitand the values were expressed as μg/100 ml.Results: Both the number of recurrent seizures and the duration of seizure activity werereduced in the stressed group compared to the controls (p<0.001). Stress induced a significantrise in serum corticosterone levels in both pregnant mice and in their newbornpups (p<0.001).Conclusion: These findings suggest that acute prenatal stress, which may mimic acutestress in human pregnancy, is a likely factor affecting seizure control in childhood temporallobe epilepsy. The underlying inhibitory mechanism may be an increase in the level ofneurosteroids both in the blood and the brain.

Motifs in the amino-terminus of CENP-A are required for its accumulation within the nucleus and at the centromere

Centromere protein A (CENP-A) is a variant of core histone H3 that marks the centromere's location on the chromosome. The mechanisms that target the protein to the nucleus and the centromere have not been defined. In this study, we found that deletion of the first 53 but not the first 29 residues of CENP-A from the amino-terminus, resulted in its cytoplasmic localization. Two motifs, R42R43R44 and K49R52K53K56, which are reported to be required for DNA contact in the centromere nucleosome, were found to be critical for CENP-A nuclear accumulation. These two motifs potentially mediated its interaction with Importin-β but were not involved in CENP-A centromeric localization. A third novel motif, L60L61I62R63K64, was found to be essential for the centromeric accumulation of CENP-A. The nonpolar hydrophobic residues L60L61I62, but not the basic residues R63K64, were found to be the most important residues. A protein interaction assay suggested that this motif is not involved in the interaction of CENP-A with its deposition factors but potentially mediates its interaction with core histone H4 and CENP-B. Our study uncovered the role of the amino-terminus of CENP-A in localization.

PERTUMBUHAN DAN HASIL JAMUR MERANG AKIBAT PERBEDAAN MEDIA TANAM DAN KONSENTRASI PUPUK SUPER A-1 Effect of Media and Concentration of Super A-1 Fertilizer on Growth and Yield of Mushrooms

The objectives of this study were to investigate several media and liquid organic fertilizer on the growth and the yield of mushroom (Volvariella Volvaceae L) and also to identify the interactions between the two factors. The research was conducted at Lee Guna Gampong Peurada Banda Aceh from 15 June to 23 July 2010. A factorial randomized completely design with three replications was used in this experiment. The first factor evaluated was medium (dried rice stalks, cane bagasse, and cardboard), and the second factor was Super A-1 fertilizer concentrations (0 cc, 7.5, and 15 cc/L). The results showed that media significantly affected stem weight and cap diameter of mushroom. However, the media did not influence primordial initiation, the number of mushrooms, length and diameter of stems. Mushrooms grew best on the medium of cane bagasse. Super A-1 concentration significantly influenced the number of mushrooms, diameter of mushroom cap, and stem diameter, but did not affect mushroom weight. The best concentration of Super A-1 for mushrooms growth was 15cc/L. There were no interactions between the media and concentration Super A-1 based on variables observed in this experiment.

Antarctica: As seismic as other plates

Antarctica shakes, rattles, and rolls just as much as other slow‐moving plates. Emile Okal, a Yale University seismologist, told colleagues at the AGU Fall Meeting that although the Antarctic plate is not moving across the earth as fast as other continents, it has a seismicity similar to other plates. His findings refute the claim that a ring of spreading ridges that surrounds the plate leaves Antarctica stress free. The small number of reports of plate seismicity, Okal explained, has been used to argue that the ridges that surround the plate are unable to transmit tectonic stresses and would make the Antarctic plate motionless and free of seismic stress. However, when Okal added up the total seismic energy released during the last 55 years, he found it similar to that of the African plate, which is comparable in size.

Using video games to increase motivation of Saudi students learning English

The use of games in various stages of education has become an accepted method among instructional designers who are interested in adding technology to their designs. This research would benefit game designers and instructional designers who want to see what motivates students to learn English. The research used Keller’s ARCS Model, which addresses attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction, to investigate what game designs or characteristics will motivate students to learn more English language. The method of this study was a quasi-experimental design supplemented with quantitative and qualitative methods. The results indicated that both games used motivated students to learn because there was not difference between the groups when students took the post- test. The survey indicated that relevance and confidence showed acceptable reliability, while attention and satisfaction did not show acceptable reliability. The open-ended questions showed there was no preference for the different designs or characteristics of the games used. The results show that there was no significant difference between which game was used by a group, however both games motivated students to learn the English language.

Aasenîkon! : Makushi travelogues from the borderlands of Southern Guyana

This ethnographic account focuses on the conceptions and practices of movement, as narrated by the Makushi people who live along the triple frontier of southern Guyana. The journeys - individual experiences, in particular of women – depict visits to other Makushi communities, to their neighbours and cities in Guyana, Brazil and Venezuela. The travelogues disclose Makushi premises on knowledge and its acquisition: gender, age, temporality and alterity. Exploring these concepts in practice, the ethnography points out the value the Makushi attribute to their encounters with others, situations in which risk and unpredictability are creatively incorporated as part of their sociality.

Enhanced antilymphoma efficacy of CD19-redirected influenza MP1–specific CTLs by cotransfer of T cells modified to present influenza MP1

Abstract To enhance the in vivo antitumor activity of adoptively transferred, CD19-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)–redirected cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), we studied the effect of restimulating CAR+ CTLs through their endogenous virus-specific T-cell antigen receptor (TcR) by the cotransfer of engineered T-cell antigen–presenting cells (T-APCs). Using influenza A matrix protein 1 (MP1) as a model antigen, we show that ex vivo–expanded CD4+ and CD8+ T-APCs expressing a hygromycin phosphotransferase-MP1 fusion protein (HyMP1) process and present MP1 to autologous human leukocyte antigen (HLA)–restricted, MP1-specific CD4+ and CD8+ CTL precursors. The MP1-specific CTLs are amenable to subsequent genetic modification to express a CD19-specific CAR, designated CD19R, and acquire HLA-unrestricted reactivity toward CD19+ leukemia and lymphoma tumor targets while maintaining HLA-restricted MP1 specificity. The restimulation of MP1×CD19 dual-specific CTLs in vivo by the adoptive transfer of irradiated HyMP1+ T-APCs resulted in the enhanced antilymphoma potency of bispecific effector cells, as measured by elimination of the biophotonic signal of established firefly luciferase–expressing Burkitt lymphoma xenografts in nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficiency (NOD/scid) animals compared with control groups restimulated by Hy+MP1neg T-APCs. Engineered T-APCs are a novel and versatile antigen-delivery system for generating antigen-specific T cells in vitro and enhancing the in vivo effector functioning of CAR-redirected antitumor effector cells.
