Evaluation of different fungicides and nitrogen rates on grain yield and bread making quality in wheat affected by Septoria tritici blotch and yellow spot
Year: 2018

This study aims to evaluate the influence of different fungicide mixtures under three nitrogen (N) fertilization rates on the area under disease progress curve (AUDPC) of STB (Septoria tritici blotch, Zymoseptoria tritici) (hemibiotrophic) and YS (yellow spot, Pyrenophora tritici repentis (Died) Drechs (anamorph Drechslera tritici repentis (Died) Shoem) (necrotrophic) separately inoculated, green leaf area duration, and its effect on grain yield, grain protein concentration (GPC) and bread making traits. Fungicide applications decreased AUDPC of both diseases compared to the control treatment, without significant differences between fungicide types. Fungicides increased green leaf area duration and grain yield compared to the control treatment, although no differences were found between fungicide types when STB was the prevalent disease. The GPC was increased by STB and YS, whereas fungicides decreased it. Those reductions with triazole strobilurin tended to be lower as N increased for STB and were significantly lower for YS. Conversely, under 0 to 70 kg N/ha, GPC decreased when fungicides were used, particularly under the triazole strobilurin carboxamide treatment. Cultivars differed with respect to bread making quality traits. In spite of the increase in GPC with both pathogens, gluten content and bread volume increased with STB but decreased with YS, indicating that the nutritional habit of both pathogens may have a different impact on protein composition.
Compact Bandpass Filter With High Selectivity Using Quarter Mode Substrate Integrated Waveguide and Coplanar Waveguide
Venue: IEEE Microwave and Wireless Components Letters
Year: 2017

This letter presents a bandpass filter (BPF) based on a hybrid structure of quarter mode substrate integrated waveguide (QMSIW) and coplanar waveguide (CPW) By incorporating two CPW resonators into two QMSIW resonators, the proposed filter obtains a high selectivity as the coupling between two CPW resonators is electric coupling, which helps to generate two transmission zeros. It also achieves compact layout as the embedded CPW resonators do not occupy extra area. In order to verify the design, a BPF with a center frequency of 8.7 GHz is fabricated and measured. The measured results show good agreement with the simulation results.

State of the Art Fuel Acidity Sensor Based on Iridium Oxide (IrOx)
Year: 2007

The measurement of acidity in organic liquids is a difficult, but important technique, for instance to ascertain the acidity of petroleum products. Measuring acidity of petroleum products during refining, storage and application is useful as a diagnostic tool for specification tests, thermal stability monitoring, R D tool for additive development and process control application. Traditional electrochemical pH measurement technology is poorly suited for the nonaqueous environments. The measurement of acidity in organic solvent base matrices like petroleum products is much more difficult due to their complexity and the fact that they are extremely nonconducting. Commercially available pH sensors are designed to conduct measurements in the aqueous phase. The measurement of acidity in organic solvent products is much more difficult due to the complex and nonconducting matrix of petroleum products. Currently, measurements of "Total Acid Number" (TAN) in nonconducting fluids are performed by a tedious, time consuming and solvent intensive ASTM Methods D3242 or D664 based on titration (1, 2) Clearly, a chemical sensor that could rapidly and reliably measure TAN in fuels and oils would be of tremendous use in specification testing, for monitoring and as an R&D tool for additive development. This presentation will describe our efforts to develop an iridium oxide (IrOx) based acidity sensor suitable for work in low conducting media like jet fuel. The sensing probe is potentiometric and consists of a novel iridium oxide electrode utilized as the indicating electrode and a Ag/AgCl or Ag/Ag2O reference electrode. When the sensing probe is exposed to the solution containing the analyte of interest, the signal is observed as a change in potential relative to the reference electrode. We have conducted extensive studies using this detector system and obtained data showing its range of detection of pH/acidity in aqueous and non aqueous solutions. The IrOx sensor responds to compounds present in fuel that have acid base character. This sensor allows the determination of the acidity of different fuels  and to discriminate between neat and thermally stressed fuels. The correlation of the response of an IrOx sensor with the total acid numbers of different fuels will be presented. Experimental results also indicate that the low conductance of fuel, the material used for sensor encapsulation and or type of the reference electrode may influence the response time of the IrOx sensor (Table 1) We will show the feasibility of the IrOx sensor with respect to the potential application as a real time acidity sensor for the testing of petroleum products. Finally, by the comparable studies of other commercially available pH sensors  the IrOx response will be demonstrated to be faster, better defined, more accurate and more reproducible than a response of the other commercially available sensors in non aqueous solutions.
Nematode Pests of Leguminous and Oilseed Crops
Year: 2017

Sunflower ranks first among the legume and oilseed crops produced in South Africa, followed by soybean. The production of Bambara groundnut, cowpea, dry bean, groundnut and lupin is practised on a much smaller scale. The omnipresence of economically important plant parasitic nematodes poses a threat to the sustainable production and expansion of leguminous and oilseed crops, with Meloidogyne and Pratylenchus spp. as generally the most damaging nematode pests. Ditylenchus africanus (indigenous to Southern Africa) is the predominant nematode pest of groundnut. The discovery of Aphelenchoides arachidis individuals in groundnut pods also poses a threat to producers. In this chapter, symptoms of damage inflicted by particular plant parasitic nematodes on leguminous and oilseed crops are described, as are the management strategies available to local producers. These typically include the use of chemical control, crop rotation and to a lesser extent host plant resistance. Of particular interest are discussions on root knot nematode resistance breeding in soybean and the development of molecular markers to expedite the breeding process. The same applies for D. africanus and groundnut. Although nematode research focused mainly on groundnut and soybean, information for Bambara groundnut, cowpea, dry bean, lupin and sunflower is also presented.
Consistent ocean wave energy harvesting using electroactive polymer (dielectric elastomer) artificial muscle generators
Year: 2013

An energy transduction technology that operates efficiently over a range of frequencies is important for practical energy harvesting devices such as ocean wave power generators. Dielectric elastomer is based on the change in capacitive energy of a deformable dielectric and is a candidate for such applications. A simple scale model of EPAM based wave energy harvesting system was tested in a wave tank over a range of wave periods from 0.7 to 3s and wave heights from 2cm to 6cm. The energy output was found to be largely independent of wave period.

Transdifferentiation of human gingival mesenchymal stem cells into functional keratinocytes by Acalypha indica in three dimensional microenvironment
Venue: Journal of cellular physiology
Year: 2018

Gingival tissue is reportedly a promising, easily accessible, abundant resource of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) for use in various tissue engineering strategies. Human gingival MSC (HGMSCs) were successfully isolated from gingival tissue and characterized. To analyze in a two dimensional form, HGMSCs were cultured with basal medium and induced with 25 ug/ml of Acalypha indica. Quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and western blot analysis showed the presence of keratinocyte specific markers, including cytokeratin 5 and involucrin. To further assess its capability for stratification akin to human keratinocytes, HGMSCs were encapsulated in a HyStem(r) HP Cell Culture Scaffold Kit and cultured in the presence of A. indica. Calcein AM staining indicated that the HyStem(r) HP Scaffold Kit has excellent biocompatibility. Immunofluorescence and qPCR analysis revealed the presence of keratinocyte specific markers. The study concluded that the three dimensional microenvironment is a novel method for inducing epidermal differentiation of HGMSCs to engineer epidermal substitutes with the help of A. indica, which provides an alternative strategy for skin tissue engineering.
Versatile and efficient in vivo genome editing with compact Streptococcus pasteurianus Cas9.
Venue: Molecular therapy the journal of the American Society of Gene Therapy
Year: 2021

Compact CRISPR/Cas9 systems that can be packaged into an adeno associated virus show promise for gene therapy. However, the requirement of protospacer adjacent motifs (PAMs) restricts the target scope. To expand this repertoire, we revisited and optimized a small Cas9 orthologue derived from Streptococcus pasteurianus for efficient genome editing in vivo. We found that SpaCas9 enables potent targeting of 5' NNGYRA 3' PAMs, which are distinct from those recognized by currently used small Cas9s; the Spa CBE and Spa ABE systems efficiently generated robust C to T and A to G conversions both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, by exploiting natural variation in the PAM interacting domain, we engineered three SpaCas9 variants to further expand the targeting scope of compact Cas9 systems. Moreover, mutant mice with efficient disruption of the Tyr gene were successfully generated by microinjection of SpaCas9 mRNA and the corresponding sgRNA into zygotes. Notably, all in one AAV delivery of SpaCas9 targeting the Pcsk9 gene in adult mouse liver produced efficient genome editing events and reduced its serum cholesterol. Thus, with distinct PAMs and a small size, SpaCas9 will broaden the CRISPR/Cas9 toolsets for efficient gene modifications and therapeutic applications.
A Critical Appraisal of the Effect of Gonadotropin Releasing Hormon Analog Treatment on Adult Height of Girls with Central Precocious Puberty
Venue: Journal of clinical research in pediatric endocrinology
Year: 2017

Central precocious puberty (CPP) is a diagnosis that pediatric endocrinologists worldwide increasingly make in girls of age 6 8 years and is mostly idiopathic. Part of the reason for increasing referral and diagnosis is the perception among the doctors as well as the patients that treatment of CPP with long acting gonadotropin releasing hormon analogues (GnRHa) promote height of the child. Although, the timing and the tempo of puberty does influence statural growth and achieved adult height, the extent of this effect is variable depending on several factors and is modest in most cases. Studies investigating GnRHa treatment in girls with idiopathic CPP demonstrate that treatment is able to restore adult height compromised by precocious puberty. However, reports on untreated girls with precocious puberty demonstrate that some of these girls achieve their target height without treatment as well, thus, blurring the net effect of GnRHa treatment on height in girls with CPP. Clinical studies on treatment of girls with idiopathic CPP on adult stature suffers from the solid evidence base due mainly to the lack of well designed randomized controlled studies and our insufficiencies of predicting adult height of a child with narrow precision. This is particularly true for girls in whom age of pubertal onset is close to physiological age of puberty, which are the majority of cases treated with GnRHa nowadays. Heterogeneous nature of pubertal tempo (progressive vs. nonprogressive) leading to different height outcomes also complicates the interpretation of the results in both treated and untreated cases. This review will attemp to summarize and critically appraise available data in the field.
Influence of sewing parameters upon the tensile behavior of textile assembly
Year: 2006

The aim of this work is to check the influence of some sewing parameters upon the tensile behaviour of a textile assembly (assembly of two woven samples by a seam).Design/methodology/approach This analysis was carried out according to the approach "experimental design" The studied parameters are the sewing thread, the stitch type, the stitch density, the needle size and the edge of seam. The targeted answers are drawn from the tensile test on the assembly: breaking strength, breaking elongation and deformation energy. In order to highlight the behaviour of the seam, a load extension curve for the stitch line is established: it represents, for a value of a given tensile effort, the difference between the displacement of the assembly and that of the fabric. From this curve, breaking elongation as well as the deformation energy are determined. An "experimental design" was carried out and analysed for two types of assembly (warp and weft) Linear models predicting eac.

Year: 2011

The present study is to develop a buccoadhesive drug delivery system of Insulin using natural polymer locust bean gum in order to overcome the poor permeability and ineffectiveness when administered orally. Insulin is a polypeptide anti diabetic agent usually administered through injections. The use of these injections throughout life of a patient presents various problems, such as physical and psychic pain, hypertrophy or atrophy of the subcutaneous fat at an injection site. Also when taken orally results in short biological half life and ineffectivness due to enzymatic degradation and poor permeability. As insulin is a peptide drug, its delivery via the buccal oral cavity has several therapeutic advantages. Locust bean gum is a mucoadhesive polymer. It is useful as a stabilizer, adsorbent and demulscent therapeutically. Polyethylene glycol dimethyl ether 500 is used as permeation enhancer.Mucoadhesive buccal tablets of insulin are prepared by direct compression method. Buccal tablets are evaluated by certain parameters like dissolution, in vitro bioadhesion study drug permeation study and in vivo study. Results revealed that the tablet containing 5mg locust bean gum and 4 mg PEG, DME500 as an ideal formulation for mucoadhesive buccal delivery of insulin.

Colonization of grapes berries and cider by potential producers of patulin.
Year: 2015

The aim of this study was to detect potential producers of mycotoxin patulin from grapes (berries, surface sterilized berries endogenous mycobiota and grape juice) of Slovak origin. We analyzed 47 samples of grapes, harvested in 2011, 2012 and 2013 from various wine growing regions. For the isolation of species we used the method of direct plating berries and surface sterilized berries (using 1% freshly pre pared chlorine) berries on DRBC (Dichloran Rose Bengal Chloramphenicol agar) For the determination of fungal contamination of grape juice we used plate dilution method and DRBC and DG18 (Dichloran 18% Glycerol agar) as media. The cultivation in all modes of inoculation was carried at 25 1 degC, for 5 to 7 days. After incubation Aspergillus and Pencillium isolates were inoculated on the identification media. The potential producers of patulin were isolated from 23 samples berries, 19 samples of surface sterilized berries and 6 samples of grape juice. Overall, the representatives of producers of patulin were detected in 32 (68.1% samples (75 isolates) In this work we focused on the detection of potential producers of patulin, Penicillium expansum (the most important producer of patulin in fruits) Penicillium griseofulvum and Aspergillus clavatus were isolated. Chosen isolates of potential patulin producers were tested for the ability to produce relevant mycotoxins in in vitro conditions using thin layer chromatography method. The ability to produce patulin in in vitro condition was detected in 82% of isolates of Penicillium expansum 65% of Penicillium griseofuvum and 100% of Aspergillus clavatus Some isolates of Penicillium expansum were able to produce citrinin and roquefortine C, Penicillium griseofulvum cyclopiazonic acid, griseofulvin and roquefortin C, also.

An Optimized AC/DC Buck Boost Converter for Wind Energy Harvesting Application
Venue: 2019 IEEE International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering and 2019 IEEE Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Europe (EEEIC I&CPS Europe)
Year: 2019

The need for low cost power sources was always the scope of researchers, especially for applications such as Wireless sensor networks (WSN) where the maintenance and replacement of energy storage units is costly. In this sense, energy harvesting (EH) is more reliable and cheaper due to its unlimited availability. Though, the environment conditions are usually unpredictable, which requires a specialized circuit to be used with the energy harvesters to ensure the efficient power transfer and to adapt to the variable conditions. The proposed system is a specialized EH circuit for the fluttering wind harvester. It consists of an AC/DC buck boost converter, controlled by a low power microcontroller which adapts the performance according the variable wind conditions, giving an edge over commercial circuits for the same purpose.
Factorizations of $k$ Nonnegative Matrices
Year: 2017

A matrix is $k$ nonnegative if all its minors of size $k$ or less are nonnegative. We give a parametrized set of generators and relations for the semigroup of $k$ nonnegative $n\times n$ invertible matrices in two special cases: when $k n 1$ and when $k n 2$ restricted to unitriangular matrices. For these two cases, we prove that the set of $k$ nonnegative matrices can be partitioned into cells based on their factorizations into generators, generalizing the notion of Bruhat cells from totally nonnegative matrices. Like Bruhat cells, these cells are homeomorphic to open balls and have a topological structure that neatly relates closure of cells to subwords of factorizations. In the case of (n 2) nonnegative unitriangular matrices, we show the cells form a Bruhat like CW complex.
Developing Luminescent Ratiometric Thermometers Based on a Covalent Organic Framework (COF)
Venue: Angewandte Chemie
Year: 2019

Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) an emerging class of crystalline porous materials, are proposed here as a new type of support for grafting lanthanide ions (Ln3+ and employing these hybrid materials as ratiometric luminescent thermometers. A TpBpy COF prepared from 1,3,5 triformylphloroglucinol (Tp) and 2,2' bipyridine 5,5' diamine (Bpy) grafted with Eu/Tb and Dy acetylacetone (acac) complexes can be successfully used as luminescent thermometers in the 10 360 K and 280 440 K ranges, respectively, exhibiting good sensing properties (thermal sensitivity up to 1.403 %K 1, temperature uncertainty T 1 K above 110 K) For the Eu/Tb systems we observe a quite unusual and rarely reported behavior in which there is no thermal quenching of the Tb3+emission, as a result of the absence of ion to ligand/host energy back transfer. The LnCOF materials proposed here could be a new class of materials employed for temperature sensing applications following up the well known Metal Organic Framework luminescent thermometers.
