Prediction equations of the metabolizable energy in corn developed by chemical composition and enzymatic hydrolysate gross energy for roosters

Two experiments were conducted to establish the prediction equations for AME and TME of corn based on chemical composition and enzymatic hydrolysate gross energy (EHGE) in roosters. In experiment 1, eighty 32-wk-old Hy-line Brown roosters with an average body weight of 2.55 ± 0.21 kg were randomly assigned to 10 diet treatments in a completely randomized design to determine AME and TME by the force-feeding method. Each treatment had 8 replicates with 1 bird per replicate. The 10 test diets used in the experiment were formulated with corn (including 96.10%) as the sole source of energy. In experiment 2, the EHGE of 14 corn samples was measured by the computer-controlled simulated digestion system (CCSDS) with 5 replicates of each sample. The average AME and TME values of corn were 14.58 and 16.46 MJ/kg DM, respectively. The EHGE of 14 corn samples ranged from 14.66 to 15.89 (the mean was 15.24) MJ/kg DM. The best-fit equations for corn based on chemical composition were AME (MJ/kg DM) = 14.5504 + 0.1166 × ether extract (EE) + 0.5058 × Ash - 0.0957 × neutral detergent fiber (NDF) (R2 = 0.8194, residual standard deviation (RSD) = 0.0860, P < 0.01) and TME (MJ/kg DM) = 16.0625 + 0.1314 × EE + 0.4725 × Ash - 0.0872 × NDF (R2 = 0.7867, RSD = 0.0860, P < 0.01). The best-fit equations for corn based on EHGE were AME (MJ/kg DM) = 7.8883 + 0.4568 × EHGE (R2 = 0.8587, RSD = 0.0693, P < 0.01) and TME (MJ/kg DM) = 10.0099 + 0.4228 × EHGE (R2 = 0.8720, RSD = 0.0608, P < 0.01). The differences between determined and predicted values from equations established based on EHGE were lower than those observed from chemical composition equations. These results indicated that EHGE measured with CCSDS could predict the AME and TME of corn for roosters with high accuracy.

Microstructural, physicochemical properties, and interaction mechanism of hydrogel nanoparticles modified by high catalytic activity transglutaminase crosslinking

Natural protein hydrogels are commonly used in the food industry due to their versatility, making it crucial to develop hydrogels with superior properties. In this study hydrogel nanoparticles were modified with high-performance transglutaminase obtained by cavity engineering strategy. The optimal mutant, R57L/Y198F/F259W, exhibited a 3.3-fold increases (up to 103.26 U mg−1) in catalytic activity and a 3.3 °C increased in TmE value, resulting in a hydrogel with higher hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, and resilience. The hydrophilic capacity of the hydrogel, such as water holding capacity, swelling rate, and freeze-thaw stability (240 h), were also enhanced by 3.00%, 24.56%, and 9.00%, respectively. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis indicated a 10.76% increase in α-helix and 9.69% increase in β-sheet contents, which led to improved thermostability and textural properties. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) revealed that the structure of modified hydrogel nanoparticles had a denser, mostly polygonal honeycomb structure. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations indicated that the mutation altered the secondary structure of C64 from a helix to a loop, which improved catalytic activity, resulting in the formation of more cross-linked structures. The W259 residue was found to play a crucial role in stabilizing the complexes. These findings provide valuable insight for the application of protein-based hydrogels in the food industry.

Setting-Sensitive Conceptualization and Assessment of Quality of Life in Telemedical Care-Study Protocol of the Tele-QoL Project.

Quality of life (QoL) is a core patient-reported outcome in healthcare research, alongside primary clinical outcomes. A conceptual, operational, and psychometric elaboration of QoL in the context of TM is needed, because standardized instruments to assess QoL do not sufficiently represent essential aspects of intended outcomes of telemedical applications (TM). The overall aim is to develop an instrument that can adequately capture QoL in TM. For that purpose, an extended working model of QoL will be derived. Subsequently, an instrument will be developed and validated that captures those aspects of QoL that are influenced by TM. The initial exploratory study section includes (a) a systematic literature review, (b) a qualitative survey for concept elicitation, and (c) pre-testings using cognitive debriefings with patients and an expert workshop. The second quantitative section consists of an online expert survey and two patient surveys for piloting and validation of the newly developed instrument. The resulting questionnaire will assess central experiences of patients regarding telemedical applications and its impact on QoL more sensitively. Its use as adjunct instrument will lead to a more appropriate evaluation of TM and contribute to the improvement of care tailored to patients’ individual needs.

The Trans-Mountain Pipeline Expansion Project: Path Dependency in the Crown’s Reasoning

ABSTRACT This article examines the production and reproduction of the same arguments made by the Crown in consultations with Indigenous peoples over a controversial resource development project in Canada. To explain the stability of the Crown’s reasoning in consultations with Indigenous communities on Trans-Mountain Pipeline Expansion project (TM), I integrate the path dependence concept with the theory of motivated reasoning while keeping the analytical perspective of historical institutionalism. The context of TM consultations is instrumental in explaining argumentative stability: it demonstrates how the interplay of the dominance of the Crown and its reliance on formal authority rules and government findings produce increasing returns turning reasoning for TM into a self-reinforcing and path-dependent sequence of behavioral steps (biased argument production for TM and biased evaluation of arguments against TM). This sequence undermines the ability of the Crown to value arguments against TM equally with arguments for TM.

Cross-Sectional Study to Establish the Utility of Serum Tumor Markers in the Diagnosis of Lung Cancer.

Background:Reliable blood markers for aiding lung cancer (LC) diagnosis and differentiating LC from tuberculosis are lacking in India. Methodology:In this single-centre, cross-sectional, real-world study, serum levels of 5 TMs (CEA, CYFRA 21-1, SCC, ProGRP, NSE) were measured from consented patients with suspicious lung nodules who were candidates for biopsy, and also from healthy controls. TM level measurement was done through electrochemiluminescent immunoassay, followed by histological diagnosis on the biopsied specimen. Using package insert cut-offs, sensitivity and specificity of the 5 TMs were evaluated individually and in combination. Using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of individual TMs, the ability of CEA, CYFRA 21-1, and ProGRP taken together was evaluated for its ability to differentiate LC from no-LC. Results:Out of 178 subjects, 160 had LC (147 NSCLC; 13 SCLC). NSCLC patients had higher median values of CYFRA 21-1 and SCC; SCLC patients had higher median values of CEA, NSE, and ProGRP. Adenocarcinoma-NSCLC patients had higher median values of CEA, CYFRA 21-1, NSE, and ProGRP; squamous-NSCLC patients had higher median value of SCC. For differentiating LC from no-LC, the combination of all 5 TMs (sensitivity:97.5%, specificity:33.3%) and combination of CEA, CYFRA 21-1 and ProGRP (sensitivity:91.3%, specificity:88.9%) were found suitable. Conclusion:Combination of all 5 TMs, and combination of CEA, CYFRA 21-1, and ProGRP represents an easy and non-invasive method for aid in LC diagnosis that does not require technical expertise. TM evaluation can also supplement histological diagnosis of LC.

METABOLISABLE ENERGY VALUES OF WHOLE PALM KERNEL AND PALM KERNEL OIL SLUDGE USING LAYING HENS AND ADULT BROILER CHICKENS

A series of four experiments were conducted in carried out with cockerels but can also be which 30g DM of whole palm kernel (WPK) performed with broiler chickens and laying hens and of Palm Kernel Oil Sludge (PKOS) were (Johnson and McNab, 1983). Differences force-fed to laying hens and adult broilers between broilers and laying hens (Peterson et chickens. The length of the collection periods `` al., 1976 and adult cockerels) Mollah et al was the same (24, 30, 48 and 60hr) for both 1983) have been reported. These differences ingredients. The ingredients and their faecal may be a result of differences in nitrogen (N) materials were used to determine the apparent balance between the different bird types metabolisable energy (AME) and the true (Askbrant, 1988). metabolisable energy (TME) and their nitrogen (N) corrected forms (AMEn and TMEn). However, a possible deficiency in the rapidTMEn). bioassay for determining TME using adult Results showed that in both ingredients, at the rooster (Sibbald, 1976) is that a portion of the 48 hr collection period, no difference in the teed may be retained, explaining some of the AME and AMEN, TME and TMEn were found differences observed between AME and TME in the bird types. Complete passage of the test values. Extension of the collection period, ingredients was ensured at the 48 hr collection depending on the specific ingredient being period. The AME and AMEn values of WPK tested, was recommended for feeds which with laying hens were: 5.08 and 4.98 Kcal/kg exhibit slow rate of passage, from various DM; while those for the broiler chickens were: studies (Sibbald 1979a, b, c). This suggestion 4.88 and 4.31 Kcal/kg DM; those for PKOS was based on the reasoning that the control bird AME and AMEn with Jaying hens were: 3.14 may be in a state of tissue catabolism which and 2.98Kcal/kg DM,with the broiler chickens could increase the metabolic faecal energy the values were 3.12 and 2.96 Kcal/kg DM (FEM) plus endogenous urinary energy (UEE) respective.y. TME and TMEN values of WPK with extended fasting period (Kessler and with laying hens were 6.42 and 6.11 Kcal/kg Thomas, 1981). Since high fat diets exhibit DM; corresponding values with broiler chickens were: 6.41 and 6.09 Kcal/Kg DM. slow rate of passage (Mateos and Jerty, 1981), TME and TMEn for PKOS with laying hens it becomes necessary to investigate the time were 4.37. 4.12 Kcal/kg DM. 4.36 and 4.13 required for the whole palm kernel meal and its Kcal/kg DM, respectively were the sludge to be completely cleared from the corresponding values for broiler chickens. No alimentary tract of birds while determining their interaction between ingredients and birds was unknown bioavailable energy levels. found but there were interactions among the The purpose of the present study was, therefore bioavailable energy systems and the bird types. to determine the bioavailable energy (AME and TME) of whole palm kernel and palm kernel oil layers, broilers.

Experiences of Complex Patients With Telemonitoring in a Nurse-Led Model of Care: Multimethod Feasibility Study.

BackgroundTelemonitoring (TM) interventions have been designed to support care delivery and engage patients in their care at home, but little research exists on TM of complex chronic conditions (CCCs). Given the growing prevalence of complex patients, an evaluation of multi-condition TM is needed to expand TM interventions and tailor opportunities to manage complex chronic care needs.ObjectiveThis study aims to evaluate the feasibility and patients’ perceived usefulness of a multi-condition TM platform in a nurse-led model of care.MethodsA pragmatic, multimethod feasibility study was conducted with patients with heart failure (HF), hypertension (HTN), and/or diabetes. Patients were asked to take physiological readings at home via a smartphone-based TM app for 6 months. The recommended frequency of taking readings was dependent on the condition, and adherence data were obtained through the TM system database. Patient questionnaires were administered, and patient interviews were conducted at the end of the study. An inductive analysis was performed, and codes were then mapped to the normalization process theory and Implementation Outcomes constructs by Proctor.ResultsIn total, 26 participants were recruited, 17 of whom used the TM app for 6 months. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 14 patients, and 8 patients were interviewed with their informal caregiver present. Patient adherence was high, with patients with HF taking readings on average 76.6% (141/184) of the days they were asked to use the system and patients with diabetes taking readings on average 72% (19/26) of the days. The HTN adherence rate was 55% (29/52) of the days they were asked to use the system. The qualitative findings of the patient experience can be grouped into 4 main themes and 13 subthemes. The main themes were (1) making sense of the purpose of TM, (2) engaging and investing in TM, (3) implementing and adopting TM, and (4) perceived usefulness and the perceived benefits of TM in CCCs.ConclusionsMulti-condition TM in nurse-led care was found to be feasible and was perceived as useful. Patients accepted and adopted the technology by demonstrating a moderate to high level of adherence across conditions. These results demonstrate how TM can address the needs of patients with CCCs through virtual TM assessments in a nurse-led care model by supporting patient self-care and keeping patients connected to their clinical team.

This study proposes to explore teachers’ perception, plan, implementation, and evaluation toward the use of Super Minds textbook in EFL Classroom. The study employed case study approach. Two teachers were selected to become participants in this study. The data were gathered through questionnaire, semi-structured interview, classroom observations, and document analysis. The result of this study revealed that both teachers had positive perception on the use of Super Minds textbook. That was indicated from their positive thoughts on their planning and implementation that Super Minds textbook became an effective and engaging learning source in the classroom. The two teachers planned the lesson using the topic and material from Super Minds textbook. Although the teachers’ did the same stages in planning, the plan was implemented and resulted in different ways. They used supplementary materials provided from the textbook package as their teaching aids for enhancing the students in the classroom. The two teachers are evaluated as good practitioners for students in using Super Minds textbook. All this result leads to the alignment between teachers’ perception, plans, implementation, and evaluation. It was proven by teachers’ positive perception on toward the use of Super Minds textbook reflected in their planning, actual implementation, and evaluation in the classroom. It was expected for further research to possibly continue this study by using another textbook in different level of students so that it will give another perspective.

The feasibility of enzyme hydrolysate gross energy for formulating duck feeds

Two experiments were designed to investigate the feasibility of enzyme hydrolysate gross energy (EHGE) for formulating duck feeds. In experiment 1, six mixed diets and 6 experimental diets (compound feeds) with 20% CP were formulated, and their EHGE, AME, and TME were determined so as to analyze the correlation between EHGE and AME, TME. In experiment 2, six experimental diets with different EHGE levels were further arranged to determine the EHGE requirement for Pekin ducks from hatch to 21 D of age. A total of 384 freshly hatched ducklings was randomly divided into 6 experimental treatments, each treatment containing 8 replicates with 8 ducks per replicate. The results showed that there were a linear correlation between EHGE and AME (r = 0.998, P < 0.01), TME (r = 0.997, P < 0.01) for 6 mixed diets, and the regression models were AME = 0.996 × EHGE−1.062 (R2 = 0.996, P < 0.01), TME = 0.997 × EHGE+0.304 (R2 = 0.995, P < 0.01). For the 6 experimental diets, EHGE was also positively correlated with AME (r = 0.983, P < 0.01), TME (r = 0.984, P < 0.01), and the regression models were AME = 1.2054 × EHGE−3.180 (R2 = 0.967, P < 0.01), TME = 1.2054 × EHGE−1.783 (R2 = 0.967, P < 0.01). According to the broken-line model and optimal BW, the EHGE requirement for ducks from hatch to 21 D of age was 2,937 kcal/kg (calculated value), 3,182 kcal/kg (determined value). In conclusion, EHGE could be used to predict the AME and TME values for mixed diets and compound feeds based on established regression models, and the simulated digestion method in vitro has the potential for effective energy evaluation and formulation for duck feeds.

Statistical modelling of atmospheric mean temperature in sub-Sahel West Africa

Atmospheric mean temperature Tm, is a vital parameter in the evaluation of precipitable water vapor (PWV) through the analysis of GPS signal, it is therefore important to have a good way of evaluating Tm for the eventual accurate evaluation of PWV using GPS. Simple statistical models exist for various regions of the world for the evaluation of Tm, using surface temperature Ts, in the form Tm = aTs + b, where a and b are constants. For West Africa, where atmospheric data is usually very scarce, there is a minimal attempt at finding a statistical model for Tm, as a function of Ts. In this work attempt has been made to find such a model using data from the Climate Monitoring Satellite Facilities (CM-SAF) of the European Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT). The model derived was found to compare well with that obtained using radiosonde data with root-mean-square error of 1.189 and mean-biased error of 0.0952 between the two models.

A systematic review of clinical trials on digital impression of prepared teeth

Aim The purpose of this review is to verify, in the existing literature, how many clinical studies have been conducted by performing intraoral digital impressions on prepared teeth. Materials and methods An electronic search was performed through Pubmed database, and the keywords were: “digital impression”, “intraoral digital impression”, “NOT implant”. The selection process started with a primary screening based on titles and abstracts. Afterward, full-texts were carefully read. Only studies in accordance with the inclusion criteria were selected. Results Only 16 studies dealing with the required criteria were included. Most of the studies evaluated marginal fit, impression time, dentists’ and patients’ evaluation of impressions and clinical outcome of CAD/CAM (Computer-aided design/Computer- aided manufacturing) fabricated single crown and multiple-fixed dental prosthesis using intraoral digital impression and the conventional impression. Conclusion In the literature there are only few in vivo clinical studies regarding digital intraoral impressions on prepared teeth. More studies about how the experience of the operator affects the accuracy of digital impression, and about the learning curve are needed, in order to provide clinical evidence on the practical use of this technology.

Analysis of the Factors Affecting Online Consumers’ Online and Offline Sentiment and Improvement Strategies

The online and offline emotional divergence of online consumers is a phenomenon that online consumers’ evaluation of a certain commodity are not the same with their real thoughts. Consumers’ online emotional expression has an impact on the identification of consumers’ sentiment to make marketing strategies and provides reference for other consumers. Therefore, this paper analyzes the influencing factors of online and offline emotional divergence through questionnaire survey, and finds that network environment, personal characteristics, website evaluation mechanism and unfair competition are the main factors affecting online and offline emotional divergence. Finally, from the perspectives of businessmen, individuals and regulators, this paper puts forward some countermeasures to deal with the emotional divergence between online and offline.

The Impact of Sociocultural Factors on Students’ ICT Information-Seeking Practices: Postgraduate Students’ Perceptions at a Zimbabwean University

The aim of this study was to examine the impact of cultural differences on students’ information-seeking, management and evaluation practices in an online information and communication technology (ICT) environment. The study was conducted at a Zimbabwean university on postgraduate students (male and female) (N=156), employing the questionnaire technique as data collection instrument. While there is a dearth of empirical studies on the use of ICT in Zimbabwe, the extant literature in this field shows a significant difference between the success and failure in the use of ICT sources for learning purposes among students in developing and developed countries. This study is premised on the proposition that “information seeking” is socioculturally bounded and the successful use of online information sources is significantly linked to the students’ perceptions of particular ICT platforms and how they are configured to facilitate specific information search outcomes. After the data collection process, the computer analysis software programme, Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), was employed to obtain the cross-tabulations and chi-squared statistical tests. The main findings of the study show a statistically significant difference in students’ information-seeking practices. The study identified the importance of students’ cultural contexts in the successful use of ICT and concludes that cultural differences influence online information-seeking practices among students. The study recommends that the impact of cultural differences be considered when students are introduced to the use of ICT as an information-seeking tool and suggests that future studies, both qualitative and quantitative, be pursued to improve students’ information-seeking practices to enhance their success.

Driving Force of Housing Industrialization Based on Brain Cognitive Neuroscience

Originated from the 1990s, cognitive neuroscience is a new branch of science combining cognitive science and neuroscience. It has become a mainstream trend in the development of scientific research and has been widely used in many fields. The study of cognitive neuroscience is of great significance for human development. This study mainly deals with the issues of China’s housing industrialization based on the related theories of brain cognitive neuroscience through using factor analysis. The study finds that since China put forward housing industrialization officially in 1994, China’s housing industrialization has been developing very rapidly. Both the newly-started area of housing industrialization and the housing industrialization (main structure) output value have increased year by year. Through factor analysis, it is found that enterprises’ cognition of policies can be divided into five dimensions: policy understanding, policy evaluation, evaluation of policy competent departments, satisfaction of policy implementation, and damage to corporate interests, and the cross-correlation between dimensions is not serious. At the same time, the enterprises’ evaluation of policies is the most important factor affecting cognition degree.

Detection of four regulated grapevine viruses in a qualitative, single tube real-time PCR with melting curve analysis

The detection of the four grapevine viruses (GLRaV-1, GLRaV-3, GFLV and ArMV) regulated in European Union plant material certification, requires sensitive and specific diagnostic tools. A strategy of simultaneous detection in a real-time single tube amplification was developed, based on the EvaGreen binding dye. The melting curve analysis (MCA) of the amplicons allows a qualitative detection of the four different virus targets in multiplex analysis. A plasmid dilution assay calculated an analytical sensitivity with an amplification threshold up to 100 copies of the target sequences. A small cohort of field grapevine samples, with a known status of infection by mixtures of the target viruses or free of them, respectively, was successfully tested for the evaluation of the amplicons Tm.

And this paper will also make a certain basis of other materials’ evaluation.

AMBIVALENCE TOWARD PERSONALIZED TECHNOLOGY AND INTENTION TO USE LOCATION-BASED MOBILE COMMERCE: THE MODERATING ROLE OF GENDER

Gaining personalized benefits from technology often simultaneously increases privacy risk and thus consumers’ evaluation of such personalized technologies (PTs) could be ambivalent. This study aimed to examine the effects of ambivalence toward PTs on internal conflicts and intention to use location–based mobile commerce (LBMC) and the extent to which these relationships were moderated by gender. Data were collected from a self-administered online survey of South Korean mobile users (N = 500). Structural equation results revealed that ambivalence toward PTs had a direct positive effect on intention to use LBMC and an indirect negative effect mediated by internal conflict. Gender was found to moderate two paths in the model; a high level of ambivalence toward PTs increased the internal conflicts among females but not males, whereas internal conflicts decreased the intention to use LBMC among males but not females. Theoretical and managerial implications for researchers and marketing practitioners are then discussed.

Correlations to determine the mean fluid temperature of double U-tube borehole heat exchangers with a typical geometry

In the evaluation of thermal response tests and in the dynamic simulation of ground-coupled heat pumps, the mean temperature Tm of the working fluid in a borehole heat exchanger is usually approximated by the arithmetic mean of inlet and outlet temperature. In thermal response tests, this approximation causes an overestimation of the thermal resistance of the heat exchanger. In the dynamic simulation of ground-coupled heat pumps, this approximation introduces an error in the evaluation of the outlet temperature from the ground heat exchangers. In this paper, by means of 3D finite element simulations, we provide tables of a dimensionless coefficient that allows an immediate evaluation of Tm in any working condition, with reference to double U-tube borehole heat exchangers with a typical geometry. These tables allow a more accurate estimation of the borehole thermal resistance by thermal response tests and a more accurate evaluation of the outlet temperature in dynamic simulations of ground-coupled heat pump systems. Criteria for the extension of the results to other geometries are also provided.

Teachers Evaluation Methods in Medical Education: Round Views of Faculty Members and Educational Experts

Background: Since there is no agreement on the best approach of teachers’ evaluation, this study was conducted to determine medical teachers’ evaluation methods and clarify the viewpoints of Iranian faculty members toward them. Materials and Methods: A mix method study was conducted in two phases, systematic review and survey, in Tehran University of Medical Sciences on 400 faculty members. In phase one, 24 studies were analyzed among 1520 and based on that, the viewpoints of faculty members about 14 methods were assessed through a validated questionnaire. Independent t-test and one-way ANOVA were used for data analysis. Results: The participants’ age mean was 48.62+5.23 and most of them were assistant professors (121/36.01%). About 280 participants (83.3%) chose “mixed method rating” as the best way of evaluation; 68.7% of the participants though “student rating” cannot be an appropriate indicative for evaluating teachers’ performance. The findings indicated statistical relationships between the average of some evaluation methods (student rating, peer evaluation, self-ratings, teaching scholarship, teaching awards) and the faculty members’ gender (P&lt;0.05). There was also a significant relationship in average of student rating, peer evaluation, mentor’s advice and self-ratings with participants’ age (P&lt;0.05). Conclusion: None of the evaluation methods can be sufficient to show a correct status of teachers’ performance. It is obvious that mix method evaluation as a combination of different measures and methods can be considered as a comprehensive approach; it is recommended to be applied in this university, and then compare teachers’ satisfaction and performance before and after this transition. [GMJ.2017;6(3):233-239] DOI:10.22086/gmj.v0i0.725
