    Classification of library books is important to allow visitors in search of a book. The classification system in the library of the Catholic University of Charity Musi using guide books dewey decimal classification (DDC). The problem in this research is the difficulty in determining the classification number of new books. By utilizing the methods of Information Retrieval (IR) or retrieval of information, so in this study will build an application program for classification of library books. The method will be used to classify the book library is a method of k-nearest neighbor (k-NN). The application program classification of library books is built with training data from library books Musi-Caritas Catholic University and the test data is a new book. Applications are made capable of classifying new library book

    Retinoic Acid-Activated Ndrg1a Represses Wnt/β-catenin Signaling to Allow <i>Xenopus</i> Pancreas, Oesophagus, Stomach, and Duodenum Specification

    <div><p>How cells integrate multiple patterning signals to achieve early endoderm regionalization remains largely unknown. Between gastrulation and neurulation, retinoic acid (RA) signaling is required, while Wnt/β-catenin signaling has to be repressed for the specification of the pancreas, oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum primordia in <i>Xenopus</i> embryos. In attempt to screen for RA regulated genes in <i>Xenopus</i> endoderm, we identified a direct RA target gene, N-myc downstream regulated gene 1a (<i>ndrg1a</i>) that showed expression early in the archenteron roof endoderm and late in the developing pancreas, oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum. Both antisense morpholino oligonucleotide mediated knockdown of <i>ndrg1a</i> in <i>Xenopus laevis</i> and the transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALEN) mediated disruption of <i>ndrg1</i> in <i>Xenopus tropicalis</i> demonstrate that like RA signaling, Ndrg1a is specifically required for the specification of <i>Xenopus</i> pancreas, oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum primordia. Immunofluorescence data suggest that RA-activated Ndrg1a suppresses Wnt/β-catenin signaling in <i>Xenopus</i> archenteron roof endoderm cells. Blocking Wnt/β-catenin signaling rescued Ndrg1a knockdown phenotype. Furthermore, overexpression of the putative Wnt/β-catenin target gene Atf3 phenocopied knockdown of Ndrg1a or inhibition of RA signaling, while Atf3 knockdown can rescue Ndrg1a knockdown phenotype. Lastly, the pancreas/stomach/duodenum transcription factor Pdx1 was able to rescue Atf3 overexpression or Ndrg1a knockdown phenotype. Together, we conclude that RA activated Ndrg1a represses Wnt/β-catenin signaling to allow the specification of pancreas, oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum progenitor cells in <i>Xenopus</i> embryos.</p></div

    Pyrococcus furiosus Argonaute Based Detection Assays for Porcine Deltacoronavirus

    Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) is a major cause of diarrhea and diarrhea-related deaths among piglets and results in massive losses to the overall porcine industry. The clinical manifestations of porcine diarrhea brought on by the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), porcine transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), and PDCoV are oddly similar to each other. Hence, the identification of different pathogens through molecular diagnosis and serological techniques is crucial. Three novel detection methods for identifying PDCoV have been developed utilizing recombinase-aided amplification (RAA) or reverse transcription recombinase-aided amplification (RT-RAA) in conjunction with Pyrococcus furiosus Argonaute (PfAgo): RAA-PfAgo, one-pot RT-RAA-PfAgo, and one-pot RT-RAA-PfAgo-LFD. The indicated approaches have a detection limit of around 60 copies/μL of PDCoV and do not cross-react with other viruses including PEDV, TGEV, RVA, PRV, PCV2, or PCV3. The applicability of one-pot RT-RAA-PfAgo and one-pot RT-RAA-PfAgo-LFD were examined using clinical samples and showed a positive rate comparable to the qPCR method. These techniques offer cutting-edge technical assistance for identifying, stopping, and managing PDCoV
