BIOFORTIFICATION-A SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURAL STRATEGY FOR REDUCING MICRONUTRIENT MALNUTRITION

Malnutrition is of great public health significance in several parts of the world, especially the developing and underdeveloped countries. Micronutrient deficiencies in humans can be mitigated through the process biofortification. It is the strategy of increasing the nutrient content in the edible parts of staple food crops for better human nutrition. Staple crops such as maize, rice, and wheat provide most of the calories for low-income families around the globe. Biofortification includes the enhanced uptake of such minerals from soils, their transport to edible plant parts, and improving the bioavailability of these minerals to humans. In paper, crop biofortification and malnutrition of essential nutrient have been discussed

Roflumilast: First approved oral selective PDE4 inhibitor for the treatment of COPD

Roflumilast is a first-in-class oral selective anti-inflammatory drug which is a PDE4 inhibitor. It has been approved by regulatory authorities in the Europe and US in 2010 and 2011 respectively for the prevention of acute exacerbations among patients with severe COPD. Since then, the drug has been studies in different populations in clinical trials as well as real world studies. The studies looked at different end points such as the quality of life, improvement in spirometry indices as well as the ability of the drug to prevent exacerbations and hospital admissions. There was a variable response seen in these studies.  This article seeks to review the evidence for the role of roflumilast in COPD from these recent studies since its approval.

ВЗАИМОСВЯЗЬ ИНДИВИДУАЛЬНО-ЛИЧНОСТНЫХ ОСОБЕННОСТЕЙ С ПОКАЗАТЕЛЯМИ ПО ШКАЛАМ БЕКА У ПОДРОСТКОВ С СУИЦИДАЛЬНЫМИ МЫСЛЯМИ

В статье представлены результаты исследования взаимосвязи личностных особенностей с показателями по депрессии, тревоге и безнадежности у подростков с суицидальными мыслями. Цель исследования состояла в определении индивидуально-личностных характеристик, наиболее присущих подросткам с суицидальными мыслями, а также взаимосвязи данных характеристик с показателями тревоги, депрессии, безнадежности и суицидальных мыслей по шкалам Бека. Посредством корреляционного анализа было выявлено, что к суицидальным мыслям больше склонны подростки с высокими показателями по таким шкалам, как ригидность, индивидуализм и интроверсия. Исследование проводилось на базе Центра психотерапии С. Скляра путем опроса подростков, обратившихся в Центр с жалобами на наличие суицидальных мыслей. Индивидуально-личностные особенности определялись с помощью «Стандартизированного многофакторного метода исследования личности» (СМИЛ). В исследовании была выявлена взаимосвязь показателей шкал СМИЛа с показателями по шкалам тревоги, депрессии, безнадежности и суицидальных мыслей А. Бека. Ценность и значимость исследования заключается в том, что по его результатам возможно составление плана профилактических мероприятий по превенции суицидального поведения среди подростков, а также для определения мишеней индивидуальной психотерапии подростков, находящихся в группе риска. Ключевые слова: подростки, подростковый суицид, личностные особенности, шкалы А. Бека

Effect of nanoclay on mechanical and thermal properties of kenaf recycle polyethylene wood plastic composites

filler. Kenaf wood flour, rPE, MAPE and nanoclay were premixed manually and fed into single-screw extruder. Universal Tensile Machine (UTM) and Izod Impact were used to study the mechanical properties. Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) and Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) were used to study the thermal properties. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) was used to observe the morphology. The effect of nanoclay on the mechanical properties, thermal properties and morphology were studied. Tensile strength of WrPC was decreased from 14.67 MPa to 14.07 MPa due to the agglomeration of nanoclay layer. Impact strength was increased from 6.07 kJ/m2 to 8.22 kJ/m2 due to the effectiveness distribution of applied stress to overcome the crack. Only one peak of glass transition temperature, Tg appeared at 133.5 °C as a result of miscible blending. Decomposition of WrPC was slightly affected by the addition of nanoclay. The internal structure of WrPC showed that the addition of nanoclay had filled the voids and lead to smooth morphology

Nizamudin Hussain, Performance Limitations and Estimates for Infinite Array Antennas

A novel quantitative measure for predicting the performance of arrays is tested on a few selected wide band arrays. This measure is called the array figure of merit. It is valid for lin-early polarized, infinite planar arrays, which are backed by a perfectly conducting ground plane. It predicts performance of arrays (which are free from grating lobes) in the E- or H-plane. The array figure of merit builds on the low frequency asymptotic expansion of the reflection coefficient and a sumrule of Rozanov type for passive structures. This measuretakes values between zero and one, and estimates array's performance on the basis of four key trade-off parameters:return loss, scan range, array thickness, and bandwidth. Arrays were found that yield values as high as 0.67, thus indicating a high performance array with respect to this measure. The sensitivity of the array figure of merit with respectto scan range is studied. Trade-off between bandwidth andreflection coefficient is investigated with respect to the ar-ray figure of merit. Finally an infinite array of stronglycoupled dipole elements is modeled and simulated. For this array, we test the sum rule based measure and find a veryhigh value for this measure: 0.84 - with 1 as its theoretical upper limit. This measurement reveals some insight into the influence of approximating material properties on the antenna performance measure
