Rheological properties of pestil enriched wheat, potato and corn flour using simplex lattice mixture design
No full textIn this study, pestil was made using various concentrations of wheat, corn, and potato flours and the ideal flour combination amounts were determined using the simplex lattice mixture design technique. The apparent viscosity, G' (elastic modulus), G'' (viscous modulus), and tan δ (G''/G') analyses were determined. In all samples, it is seen that viscosity reduces while shear rate increases. This type of behaviour is pseudoplastic behaviour. While the highest apparent viscosity was observed in the 13th sample (12 g/100 g potato flour), the lowest was seen in the 11th sample (12 g/100 g wheat flour). In all samples, the elastic modulus (G') was higher than the viscous modulus (G''). The ANOVA table shows that linear data have a significant (p<0.05) effect on apparent viscosity, G', G'', and tan δ values. In general, formulations using potato flour show higher apparent viscosity values. Also, it is observed that the tan δ, G', G'' and apparent viscosity values increase with the addition of potato flour. © 2024 by the author(s)

Genome sequence analysis of a Helicoverpa armigera single nucleopolyhedrovirus (HearNPV-TR) isolated from Heliothis peltigera in Turkey.
No full textThe entire genome of Helicoverpa armigera single nucleopolyhedrovirus (HearNPV-TR) was sequenced, and compared to genomes of other existing isolates. HearNPV-TR genome is 130.691 base pairs with a 38.9% G+C content and has 137 open reading frames (ORFs) of ≥ 150 nucleotides. Five homologous repeated sequences (hrs) and two baculovirus repeated ORFs (bro-a and bro-b) were identified. Phylogenetic analysis showed that HearNPV-TR is closer to HaSNPV-C1, HaSNPV-G4, HaSNPV-AU and HasNPV. However, there are significant differences in hr3, hr5 regions and in bro-a gene. Pairwise Kimura-2 parameter analysis of 38 core genes sequences of HearNPV-TR and other Helicoverpa NPVs showed that the genetic distances for these sequences were below 0.015 substitutions/site. Genomic differences as revealed by restriction profiles indicated that hr3, hr5 regions and bro-a gene may play a role in the virulence of HearNPV-TR
CONTROL OF THERMOPHILIC SPORES BY SPORICIDAL AGENTS AND THERMAL INACTIVATION
No full textIn this study, the adhesion patterns of thermophilic spores of Geobacillus thermodenitrificans DSM 465T, Geobacillus thermoglucosidans B84a, Anoxybacillus kamchatkensis subp. asaccharedens F81 and Anoxybacillus flavithermus DSM 2641T, all of which are biofilm producers in dairy products, were investigated by epifluorescence microscopy on 6 different abiotic surfaces commonly used in the dairy industry. The spores of G. thermodenitrificans DSM 465T and A. kamchatkensis subp. asaccharedens F81 were found to adhere mainly to rubber, polycarbonate, PTFE and stainless steel surfaces. In addition, the efficacy of sporicidal agents on the spores of these bacteria was investigated and only peracetic acid, cetylpyridinium chloride and formaldehyde were found to be the most effective of the sporicidal agents tested. Among the sporicidal agents that showed high efficacy against spores, peracetic acid and nitric acid were selected because they had the shortest contact time, low toxicity and cost. Binary combination effects were tested by determining the LD50 values of the selected agents and it was found that there was a synergistic effectbetween these two effective chemicals. In addition, the thermal resistance profiles of planktonic and sessile spores of A. flavithermus DSM 2641T and G. thermodenitrificans DSM 465T were evaluated

3D-Printed, Implantable Alginate/CuS Nanoparticle Scaffolds for Local Tumor Treatment via Synergistic Photothermal, Photodynamic, and Chemodynamic Therapy
No full textA promising method for treating cancer is localized therapy, which mainly employs hydrogel-based delivery systems. Recently, the capability of 3D printing techniques has been revealed as a promising tool to tackle cancer. In this work, alginate (Alg)-based 3D-printed implantable scaffolds containing bovine serum albumin (BSA)-coated copper sulfide (CuS) nanoparticles, Alg-CuS/BSA, were fabricated for local breast cancer therapy and applied to inhibit tumor development through utilizing synergistic photothermal, photodynamic, and chemodynamic effects. The Alg-CuS/BSA scaffolds were flexible; however, their modulus was significantly lower than that of human breast tissues. Under 808 nm irradiation, the scaffolds demonstrated efficient photothermal, photodynamic, and chemodynamic effects both in vitro and in vivo via improving photothermal transduction and singlet-oxygen formation, and also as Fenton catalysts, the scaffolds produced hydroxyl radicals in the presence of H2O2 within the tumor microenvironment. Without the use of conventional anticancer drugs, the promising tumor treatment of implanted scaffolds can offer potential applications in local cancer treatment and prevent metastasis after surgical removal of tumors
Sistem Waris Penduduk Pribumi Mandala Desa Campursari Kecamatan Megang Sakti Kabupaten Musi Rawas Perfektif Hukum Islam di Indonesia
No full textThe purpose of the study was to figure out how the inheritance system differences of the indigenous mandala population with islamic law. Indigenous residents are natives who settled in Mandala designation of the Megang Sakti Campusari Village area of Musi Rawas County South Sumatra Province. This research is field research or field research. In reviewing primary data obtained from author interviews using a qualitative approach. From the research done then the authors get the results of the study that the inheritance system of the Indigenous Mandala population is incompatible with the syarat’ and the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI). It is due to Islamic law and KHI article 174. Kinship due to the nasab is not only the descendant of the lower heir, but rather there are from the ancestors of the upward heir like father or grandfather and sideways like siblings and a father of heir. The part of the boy's inheritance when heirs with daughters is twice the part of girls, meaning the part of girls half of the part of boys. It is set in articles 176 to 182 KHI. In article 209 KHI the adopted child section is restricted to a maximum of one-third of the inheritance property through mandatory will
Cytopathologist-performed and ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration cytology enhances diagnostic accuracy and avoids pitfalls: An overview of 20 years of personal experience with a selection of didactic cases
No full textOver the last few decades, fine needle aspiration cytology (FNA) has emerged as a SAFE (Simple, Accurate, Fast, Economical) diagnostic tool based on the morphologic evaluation of cells. The first and most important step in obtaining accurate results from FNA is to procure sufficient and representative material from the lesion and to appropriately transfer this material to the laboratory. Unfortunately, the most important aspect of this task occurs beyond the control of the cytopathologist, a key reason for obtaining unsatisfactory results with FNA. There is growing interest in the field of cytology in “cytopathologist-performed ultrasound (US)-guided FNA,” which has been reported to yield accurate results. The first author has been applying FNA in his own private cytopathology practice with a radiologist and under the guidance of US for more than 20 years. This study retrospectively reviews the utility of this practice. We present a selection of didactic examples under different headings that highlight the application of FNA by a cytopathologist, accompanied by US, under the guidance of a radiologist, in the form of an “outpatient FNA clinic.” The use of this technique enhances diagnostic accuracy and prevents pitfalls. The highlights of each case are also outlined as “take-home messages.”</jats:p
