Investigation of Urban Heat Island (UHI) Effect in Yangon City by using Remote Sensing & GIS
No full textYangon is the old capital city and the most important commercial city of
Myanmar. The urban area of Yangon city has been rising rapidly and great
changes have taken place in the past 20 years, especially after 2000. The
population and urban size of Yangon have grown tremendously between 2000
and 2019. In 2019, the population of Yangon city is approximately 4477638 and
the population density is 12308 per square kilometre. The disadvantages of
having a large population and urbanization are many facts. Deforestation, land
surface temperature and urban heat island (UHI) have resulted from them. Heatrelated
illness is the consequence of surface and air temperature rising. Since the
past ten years ago, heat-related illnesses were many occurred in Yangon city.
The study area has been selected by two main facts (1) population and (2) the
rate of urbanization. This study aims to investigate the reaction among the
deforestation, land surface temperature (LST) and urban heat island (UHI) in
Yangon city. The main data was landsat7 ETM+ of 17 February 2003 and
landsat8 of 21 February 2019 satellite images which were cloud-free data. Many
spatial statistical equations and methods were applied to this research process.
The research shows that the minimum land surface temperature (LST) is rising
from 25.1046 °C to 26.2854 °C and the maximum is 42.1150 °C to 43.7832 °C
from 2003 to 2019. The vegetation coverage (NDVI) has decreased and the
urbanization area (NDBI) has increased. In the study area, the urban heat island
(UHI) intensity was correlated with land surface temperature (LST), vegetation
coverage and urbanization area

Effect of organic mineral supplementation in reducing oxidative stress in Holstein calves during short-term heat stress and recovery conditions
No full textAbstract Background This study investigated the effects of inorganic and organic minerals on physiological responses, oxidative stress reduction, and rumen microbiota in Holstein bull calves (123.81 ± 9.76 kg; 5 months old) during short-term heat stress (HS) and recovery periods. Eight Holstein calves were randomly assigned to four treatment groups: no mineral supplementation (Con), inorganic minerals (IM), organic minerals (OM), and high-concentration organic minerals (HOM) and two thermal environments (HS and recovery) using 4 × 2 factorial arrangement in a crossover design of four periods of 35 d. Calves were maintained in a temperature-controlled barn. The experimental period consisted of 14 d of HS, 14 d of recovery condititon, and a 7-d washing period. Results Body temperature and respiration rate were higher in HS than in the recovery conditions (P 0.05). The principal coordinate analysis represented that the overall rumen microbiota was not influenced by mineral supplementation; however, temperature-induced microbial structure shifts were indicated (PERMANOVA: P < 0.05). At the phylum level, Firmicutes and Actinobacteria decreased, whereas Fibrobacteres, Spirochaetes, and Tenericutes increased (P < 0.05), under HS conditions. The genus Treponema increased under HS conditions, while Christensenella was higher in recovery conditions (P < 0.05). Conclusion HOM supplementation during HS reduced cortisol concentrations and increased total antioxidant status in Holstein bull calves, suggesting that high organic mineral supplementation may alleviate the adverse effects of HS
Maternal Transmission of Rotavirus to Calves and Comparison of Colostrum and Fecal Microbiota in Holstein and Hanwoo Cattle
No full textThis study aimed to evaluate rotavirus transmission to calves and analyze microbial communities in cow milk and neonatal calf feces within dairy and beef cattle. A total of 20 cattle, Hanwoo (n = 10), and Holstein (n = 10) were allotted for the study, with each breed comprising five cows and five calves. Colostrum samples were obtained from the dam, while feces were obtained from both the dam and calf. Group A rotavirus was identified in the fecal samples through real-time reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR). Bacterial communities present in the colostrum and bovine feces were explored using 16S rRNA metagenomic sequencing. The RT-qPCR results showed that the Cq value of one calf and one cow in the Holstein group was < 35, confirming the presence of rotavirus, whereas the Cq value in the Hanwoo group was > 35, indicating a negative result. For the bacterial communities, significant differences (p < 0.05) were found between the colostrum and fecal samples from the dams and calves, but there were no significant differences between Hanwoo and Holstein cattle. Alpha diversity analysis showed that the Chao1 and Shannon indices revealed significant differences (p < 0.05) among the sample types (cow colostrum, cow feces, and calf feces). The bacterial communities in various sample types from both Hanwoo and Holstein cattle were dominated by the phyla Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, and Bacteroidetes. In addition, the genera shared between the cow colostrum and calf fecal microbiota were higher than those shared between cow and calf feces. Overall, the current study detected rotavirus in Holstein but not in Hanwoo cattle; however, no clear evidence showed the transmission of rotavirus from dam to calf. Moreover, significant variations in bacterial compositions were observed among calf feces, cow feces, and colostrum samples, suggesting the presence of unique microbial profiles
Effect of impression technique and material on accuracy of implant impressions
No full textDental implant treatment becomes one of the most predictable and successful dental rehabilitation therapies. After successful osseointegration, impression making is one of the most important and critical steps in implant prothesis fabrication for long term successful use. An accurate impression and stone casts are extremely important because inaccuracy in any of these can lead to mechanical and /or biological complications which ultimately result in failure of implant restoration.
An in vitro study was carried out to evaluate linear dimensional accuracy of implant impressions by using different silicone impression materials and different impression techniques.
Four implants (Arrow Mytis Implant System, Brainbase Co. Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) were parallelly placed in the edentulous mandible model using the surgical guide at canines and first molar areas. Fixture-level impressions were made by using addition silicone (Perfit, Huge, Rizhao, China) or condensation silicone (Silect Set, Muller-Omicron GmbH&Co.KG, Germany) with putty-light body wash one-step procedure, with closed tray or open tray technique and poured with dental stone (Silky Rock, Type IV stone, U.S.A). Three hours after removal of impression from the stone cast, four measurements (AB, BC, CD, AD) were taken between implants by using digital slide caliper (Hummer, Thailand) with accuracy of +0.03mm. Data was analyzed by using one-way ANOVA.
There was no statistically significant difference in deviation of linear dimension between the impression materials and techniques. It is concluded that both addition and condensation silicones may ensure acceptable accuracy with either closed tray or open tray technique for implant impressions.HOW TO CITE: San SP, Win TN, Aung T, Lin AZ, Aung S, Aung KH, Nyan M, Tint K.

Investigating Carnivore Guild Structure: Spatial and Temporal Relationships amongst Threatened Felids in Myanmar
No full textThe co-occurrence of felid species in Southeast Asia provides an unusual opportunity to investigate guild structure and the factors controlling it. Using camera-trap data, we quantified the space use, temporal activity, and multi-dimensional niche overlap of the tiger, clouded leopard, Asiatic golden cat, marbled cat, and leopard cat in the Htamanthi Wildlife Sanctuary, Myanmar. We hypothesised that the spatio-temporal behaviour of smaller cats would reflect the avoidance of the larger cats, and similar-sized guild members would partition their niches in space or time to reduce resource competition. Our approach involved modelling single-species occupancy, pairwise spatial overlap using Bayesian inference, activity overlap with kernel density estimation, and multivariate analyses. The felid assembly appeared to be partitioned mainly on a spatial rather than temporal dimension, and no significant evidence of mesopredator release was observed. Nonetheless, the temporal association between the three mesopredators was inversely related to the similarity in their body sizes. The largest niche differences in the use of space and time occurred between the three smallest species. This study offers new insight into carnivore guild assembly and adds substantially to knowledge of five of the least known felids of conservation concern
