Quality of raw milk available at different markets of Mymensingh region of Bangladesh

The experiment was performed to evaluate the quality of raw milk available at different markets of Mymensingh region of Bangladesh. For this purpose the raw milk samples were collected from different markets of Mymensingh (T1), Jamalpur (T2), Netrokona (T3) and Serpur (T4) districts and immediately transferred to the Dairy Technology and Microbiology Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh for analysis. Parameters studied to monitor the quality of milk samples were physical (colour, flavour, taste, texture and specific gravity), chemical (acidity, fat, ash, protein, lactose, TS and SNF) and microbiological (total viable count and coliform count). Organoleptic test revealed that the raw milk samples of Mymensingh (T1) district were yellowish white 66.66%, Whitish 33.33%; Jamalpur (T2) were yellowish white 66.66%, light yellowish white 33.33%; Netrokona (T3) were yellowish white 100% and Serpur (T4) were yellowish white 33.33%, light yellowish white 33.33% and Whitish 33.33%. Samples of T₁, T2 and T3 had normal flavor (pleasant aromatic flavour) but only T4 had 33.33% abnormal flavour. All the raw milk samples were slightly sweet in taste. Milk samples collected from Netrokona (T3) showed normal texture (free flowing liquid) but Mymensingh (T₁), Jamalpur (T₂) and Serpur (T4) had free flowing liquid 66.66% and thin texture 33.33%.The specific gravity of all raw milk samples were more or less same (1.026±0.00). There were significant (P< 0.01) differences in chemical parameters (fat and protein) between the raw milk samples.Highest fat (34.30 ±1.00 g/kg) was found in Mymensingh (T₁) and highest protein (31.90±0.20 g/kg) was found in Serpur (T4). The overall percentage of acidity was 0.16 ±0.01. The average total viable count (cfu/ml) and coliform count (cfu/ml) were 19.26x10³ and 559.164, respectively and it was observed that total viable count (cfu/ml) and coliform count (cfu/ml) of milk samples were high.Itis concluded thatthe raw milk quality of different markets of Mymensingh region of Bangladesh was more or less similar butdid not fulfill the legal standard of milk composition. Poor hygienic milking, improper cleaning of dairy utensils, unhygienic handling during marketing of raw milk and use of adulterated with addition of water mayresponsible for unhealthy and inferiority of the milk

Feeding metabolism in an Indian major carp (Catla catla Lin.) fed on different protein diets

Feeding metabolism in an Indian major carp, Catla catla fingerlings of 10.8+0.56g was investigated in a flow-through water recirculating system. The metabolic energy loss in resting metabolism and feeding metabolism were determined by the indirect method of oxygen consumption followed by multiplication by suitable oxycalorific coefficient. This was done in four metabolic chambers of a respirometer system. Ten fish fingerlings of mean total weight of 109.5, 110.4 and 112.8g/chambers respectively each in two experimental runs of three treatments a, b and c were used. The mean resting metabolic rate during unfed condition showed no significant variation in different treatments. The fish in three treatments a, b and c fed on diets containing 28, 33 and 38% crude protein had significantly different (p<0.05) post-fed SDA magnitude of 497.7, 638.7 and 735.5 mgO2/chamber/day having an equivalent energy loss of 12.68, 14.68 and 15.86 KJ respectively. The SDA co-efficient in three treatments a, b and c were 14.95, 19.00 and 22.36% respectively whereas, respiratory energy - 'R' as % of mean total ingested energy in three treatments were 26.93, 31.17 and 34.74% respectively showing a significant increase (p<0.05) with increase of protein.

Four quadrant robust quick response optimally efficient inverterfed induction motor drive

A new approach for controlling the speed of an inverter-fed induction motor which operates with variable flux for high-efficiency purposes is presented. An optimal efficiency calculator provides optimum flux and torque producing current, while a supervisory control eliminates the intricate boot-strap effect of the flux-torque loop. A model reference-based adaptive speed controller guarantees quick speed response and robustness of the drive system. Simulation results with a 100-hp motor show that up to 80% savings in controllable losses are achievable at light load, and the motor can reach rated speed in just 750 ms. The control algorithms developed are readily implementable with present-day microprocessor

Pertimbangan Hakim Dalam Memutus Tindak Pidana Kesusilaan Homoseksual Oleh Oknum Tni (Studi Kasus Perkara No. 49-K/Pm.Ii-09/Ad/Iii/2020)

Lately, it's been happening until it's been widely discussed in the real world as well as in cyberspace or social media, namely LGBT actions. The existence of LGBT is very unusual in terms of sexual behavior in Indonesia. Moreover, there is a case carried out by TNI personnel in the criminal case Number. 49-K/PM.II-09/AD/III/2020. Therefore, this study aims to provide a legal perspective on this LGBT act, which is specifically carried out by TNI personnel. It is hoped that more and more laws will be enforced to protect the general public from the practice of sexual harassment and LGBT behavior. In addition, the public's view of the law that rejects LGBT acts with sexual harassment can also be seen from the increasing number of social sanctions aimed at perpetrators. Researchers in analyzing using normative juridical methods. Qualitative descriptive research in this study refers to the analysis of the criminal case Number. Number. 49-K/PM.II-09/AD/III/2020 concerning same-sex sexual abuse by TNI personnel, with the type of data, namely the criminal case Number. 49-K/PM.II-09/AD/III/2020. The results showed that the District Court's decision on the act of same-sex sexual abuse by the TNI stated that the defendant had committed a violation as stipulated in Article 281 of the 1st Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 26 of the Criminal Procedure Code, Article 190 paragraph (1), paragraph (3), paragraph (4).

Dopamine/mucin-1 functionalized electro-active carbon nanotubes as a probe for direct competitive electrochemical immunosensing of breast cancer biomarker

Mucin-1 (MUC-1) is associated with a broad range of human epithelia including gastric, lung and colorectal. In this work, a direct competitive electrochemical immunosensor based on gelatin modified transduction platform was designed. Dopamine (DA)/mucin-1 functionalized electro-active carbon nanotubes were employed as signal generating probes in the construction of electrochemical immunosensor for early stage diagnosis of breast cancer. The gelatin modified electrode served as a support to immobilize antibody (anti-MUC-1), while electrochemical response of functionalized electro-active carbon nano probes was used for quantitative measurement of MUC-1. Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) were carried out to characterize the transduction surface at different fabrication steps. The developed immunosensor permitted the detection of MUC-1 in the linear range of 0.05−940 U/mL, with a detection limit (LOD) of 0.01 U/mL. The immunosensor showed recovery values in the range of 96% for human serum sample analysis, demonstrating its practical applicability

A novel coupler design and analysis with shielding material tests for a CPT system of electric vehicles based on electromagnetic resonant coupling

In this paper, a contactless power transfer (CPT) system using a novel geometrically enhanced energy transfer coupler with three different shielding materials has been built and analysed, along with the evaluations from aspects of electromagnetics and RMS power transmitting based on electromagnetic resonant coupling. A CPT system design improvement with the proposed H-shape ferromagnetic cores and the combined semi-enclosed passive electromagnetic shielding methods have been investigated in terms of generated electromagnetic field characteristics, system power transfer ratings, system efficiency optimization and performances of shielding materials. The results have shown that, across the range of operating frequency of the CPT system, aluminium shielding as a metallic material method could deliver better overall CPT system performance than other two ferromagnetic materials, steel 1010 and ferrite. In addition, the coupler prototype design limitations, misalignment tolerance and the passive shielding design considerations including distance between windings and inner surfaces of shielding shells have been discussed

Strain‐Promoted Cycloadditions in Lipid Bilayers Triggered by Liposome Fusion

Due to the variety of roles served by the cell membrane, its composition and structure are complex, making it difficult to study. Bioorthogonal reactions, such as the strain promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC), are powerful tools for exploring the function of biomolecules in their native environment but have been largely unexplored within the context of lipid bilayers. Here, we developed a new approach to study the SPAAC reaction in liposomal membranes using azide- and strained alkyne-functionalized Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) dye pairs. This study represents the first characterization of the SPAAC reaction between diffusing molecules inside liposomal membranes. Potential applications of this work include in situ bioorthogonal labeling of membrane proteins, improved understanding of membrane dynamics and fluidity, and the generation of new probes for biosensing assays
