Abstract

Acquisition of bimanual motor skills, critical in several applications ranging from robotic teleoperations to surgery, is associated with a protracted learning curve. Brain connectivity based on functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) data has shown promising results in distinguishing experts from novice surgeons. However, it is less well understood how expertise-related disparity in brain connectivity is modulated by dynamic temporal demands experienced during a surgical task. In this study, we use fNIRS to examine the interplay between frontal and motor brain regions in a cohort of surgical residents of varying expertise performing a laparoscopic surgical task under temporal demand. The results demonstrate that prefrontal-motor connectivity in senior residents is more resilient to time pressure. Furthermore, certain global characteristics of brain connectomes, such as the small-world index, may be used to detect the presence of an underlying stressor.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The influence of various light-curing modes may lead to polymerization shrinkage resulting in contraction stresses in composite resin. These stresses leads to linear movement of the cusp tips of the tooth as a result of interactions between polymerization shrinkage stress of the composite and adherence of the cavity wall of the tooth. That may lead to restoration failure. AIM: Comparative evaluation of the effect of different light-curing modes on the cuspal deflection of class II Mesio-occlusal-distal cavity restored with Nano-hybrid composite resin restorative material. METHOD: Thirty-six standardized MOD preparations were prepared on maxillary first premolars. Three groups(n=12) were divided according to different light-curing modes of Blue phase LED curing light- Group 1: soft-start curing mode; Group 2: pulse curing mode; Group 3: continuous curing mode. 1mm diameter glass beads were fixed to each cusp tip as a reference point for intercuspal distance to measure initial cuspal deflection for each group. MOD Preparations were etched and bonded with adhesive resin to provide micromechanical attachment and restored with Nano-hybrid composite restoration using the incremental technique. The cuspal deflection was then measured with the Digital micrometer gauge and the mean difference was measured for each group.

Abstract

This paper deals with the stability analysis of modified multilag (MML) methods for numerical solution of Volterra integral equations with many constant delays. We focus on the stability behaviour of such methods when they are applied to the following equation. where p, qj ∈ C, j = 1, 2, …, r, dr ≥ dr −1 ≥ ··· ≥ d 1 > 0, and ψ(x) is a specified initial function. We investigate the stability properties of MML methods in the case of earlier equation.

Abstract

Looking to the fast growing market potential of functional beverages, the aim of this study was to formulate functional orange-whey based RTS beverage by adding probiotic strain Lactobacillus fermentum PH5. Based on a statistical analysis of the sensory evaluation of the drinks, final formula contained a ratio 60F:40W (B2) for orange juice and unprocessed pasteurized whey. The physico-chemical and microbiological evaluations (viability of probiotics) of the formulated blend (B2) and control (C) were carried out at regular intervals (weekly) during the storage period (28 days) under refrigeration storage (7±1°C). The product remained good in terms of overall acceptability and maintained the viability of probiotic bacteria viz. 6.10 and 7.25 log CFU/ml for control (A) and B2 (60F:40W), (p<0.05), respectively at the end of the storage period.

Abstract

Probiotic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been engrossed in plentiful food fermentations, known to man for millennia. The current investigation was aimed at investigating technical attributes, such as production of bioactive peptides, particularly ACE-I activity (anti-hypertensive property), proteolytic activity, and antioxidant activities of the potential probiotic LAB strains isolated from a diverse dairy and non-dairy based fermented foods. Among all ten LAB isolates, PFC21, isolated from sauerkraut, exhibited the highest antioxidative potential and showed maximum free radical scavenging ability using both ABTS (83.8±3.77%) and DPPH (59.4±2.18%) assays. It was followed by PD2 (dosa batter isolate) that showed (79.4±1.61%) activity in ABTS assay. PD2 revealed the highest proteolytic activity during 24 h and 48 h (with 0.82 and 1.12 absorbance, respectively) of fermentation at 37 °C; followed by a curd isolate, PC6, and PFC21 with 0.99 and 0.90 absorbance, respectively, at 48 h incubation. Furthermore, PD2 also showed the significantly (P<0.05) highest (49.39%) ACE inhibition followed by PFC21 (41.38%). These fascinating results led us to further evaluate the potential probiotic strains with regard to their utilization in the production of healthy quality foods with additional technical advantages.

33. Investigation on architectures for power system communications between substations using IEC 61850

Author

Abstract

© 2014 ACPE. This paper investigates the communication network architectures for power systems between substations using IEC 61850. Optimized Network Engineering Tools (OPNET) is used for the simulations. The simulation results show the performance of individual architectures power system communications (PSC) for substation automation systems (SASs). Nowadays, interoperability among multi-vendor substations automation devices is achievable using IEC 61850 standard which allows the PSC between substations. Ethernet based communication protocols for the SASs are specified in IEC 61850 standard. These standards include Ethernet based process-level connections between switchyards and control rooms. However, their in-service performance is not well known yet. The IEC 61850 demands for a communication topology which is zero point failure proof and provides worthy data transmission rates, without pursuing any delays. In order to achieve these norms, Ethernet architectures are modeled and analyzed in detail. The performance of individual architecture also analyzed in terms of their reliability, availability and efficiency of data transfer. The hybrid, star-ring and redundant ring network architectures are the most efficient in terms of data transmission, delay times, reliability and availability between the SASs for data transmission.

Food spoilage, Food--Microbiology
Abstract

The loss of food due to microbial spoilage has economic consequences for the producers, processors and consumers. Except for sterile foods, all foods harbor microorganisms. Food spoilage stems from the growth of these microorganisms in food or in due to the action of microbial heat-stable enzymes. New marketing trends, the consumer's desire for foods that are not overly processed and preserved, extended shelf-life, and chances of temperature abuse between production and consumption of foods have greatly increased the chances of food spoilage and, in some instances, with new types of microorgan.

Abstract

Objective: To investigate the relationship between corporate governance board characteristics and dividend pay-out (e.g. dividend pay-out ratio). Method: A panel regression analysis was undertaken to investigate the relationship between corporate governance board characteristics and dividend pay-out (e.g. dividend pay-out ratio). Data was collected from a sample of 29 firms in the top-40 of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE). Data collected spanned for a period of five years from 2013 – 2018 Results: Obtained result demonstrate that there is a significant relationship between board diversity, as measured by ethnicity, the board independence and the dividend pay-out ratio. Originality/Relevance: Previous studies have asserted that corporate governance affects the level of dividends paid out by a firm. What has remained unclear with the previous studies is whether the dividend pay-out is an outcome or a substitute for effective governance. Theoretical/methodological contributions: The results suggest that there is a strong evidence in favour of the substitution hypothesis, where JSE top 40 boards with a higher degree of independence did not need to use dividends as a tool for monitoring managerial behaviour. The results illustrate evidence supporting the maturity and dividend smoothing theories, and this is observed through the significant relationships established between profitability, previous dividend and the dividend pay-out ratio. Social/management contributions: The main contribution of this study being the establishment of the determinants of dividend pay-out policy in South Africa’s JSE listed companies.
