The influences of melt-compounding parameters on the tensile properties of low filler loading of untreated-MWCNTs polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites.

This study is to investigate the effects of addition self synthesised multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), to the final properties of polypropylene (PP) matrix nanocomposites. The influences of melt blending parameters were evaluated, where the interrelationship between the temperatures of compounding and roller rotor speed of sh earing blade parameter, to the tensile properties of fabricated composites were studied. MWCNT was synthesised in the laboratory scale; by using the floating catalyst chemical vapour deposition(FC-CVD) method. Pre-compounding work is begun with de-agglomeration of MWCNT which carried out by combining the ultrasonication and mechanical stirrer means simultaneously. Carbon nanotubes produced was first verified by using SEM and TEM imaging microscopy t echniques. It was later integrated with the thermoplastic PP matrix, via melt blending process through internally mixing approach. Very low weight percentage of chemically untreated MWCNT (0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 & 1.00 wt. %) was added into PP and later was compression moulded to the thin sheet of composites film. Composites were prepared by varying the compounding temperature into three processing temperature namely 165, 175 & 185°C and also into three shearing speed of roller rotor blade, 40, 60 & 80 rpm respectively. Later, it was mechanically tested via tensile testing following the ASTM D-638 standard method. The interrelationship between each parameter of compounding to the mechanical tensile properties was tested. It was shown that, the additional of very low loading of untreated-MWCNT filler content, does give moderate effects on reinforcement to the tensile properties of composite. Different compounding parameter gives significant difference to the pattern of plot which was comparable between each other

Identification of potential biomarkers in donor cows for in vitro embryo production by granulosa cell transcriptomics

<div><p>The Ovum Pick Up-<i>In vitro</i> Production (OPU-IVP) of embryos is an advanced reproductive technology used in cattle production but the complex biological mechanisms behind IVP outcomes are not fully understood. In this study we sequenced RNA of granulosa cells collected from Holstein cows at oocyte aspiration prior to IVP, to identify candidate genes and biological mechanisms for favourable IVP-related traits in donor cows where IVP was performed separately for each animal. We identified 56 genes significantly associated with IVP scores (BL rate, kinetic and morphology). Among these, <i>BEX2</i>, <i>HEY2</i>, <i>RGN</i>, <i>TNFAIP6</i> and <i>TXNDC11</i> were negatively associated while <i>Mx1</i> and <i>STC1</i> were positively associated with all IVP scores. Functional analysis highlighted a wide range of biological mechanisms including apoptosis, cell development and proliferation and four key upstream regulators (COX2, IL1, PRL, TRIM24) involved in these mechanisms. We found a range of evidence that good IVP outcome is positively correlated with early follicular atresia. Furthermore we showed that high genetic index bulls can be used in breeding without reducing the IVP performances. These findings can contribute to the development of biomarkers from follicular fluid content and to improving Genomic Selection (GS) methods that utilize functional information in cattle breeding, allowing a widespread large scale application of GS-IVP.</p></div

Correlation of Random Urine Protein Creatinine (P-C) Ratio with 24-Hour Protein Urine in Lupus Nephritis Patients

Background : Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease involving multiple organs including kidney and known as lupus nephritis (LN). Lupus nephritis has a poor prognosis after a 10-years onset, more than 25% will be ended by end stage renal disease. There are glomerular and tubulointerstitial tissue damages due to immune complex deposits in LN which is activating inflamation cascade and causing disfunction of glomerular filtration and tubular reabsorption resulting proteinuria. In LN, proteinuria is used to diagnose, to assess the disease activity and to monitor the therapy. The gold standard of proteinuria is 24-hour urine protein examination, but the process ofcollecting in 24 hour urine is difficult, then the result is less accurate and reliable. Another alternative parameter is spot urine protein/creatinine ratio. Several studies have found a positive correlation between spot urine protein/creatinine ratio and 24-hour urine protein levels, but in LN, the results are various.Objective: The aim of this study was analyzing the correlation between spot urine protein/creatinine ratio and 24-hour urine protein in lupus nephritis.Methods: The study was conducted at Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung, West Java, Indonesia in October 2014 to December 2014. The subjects were 45 patients with lupus nephritis based on the criteria of the American College of Rheumatology. The study analyzedcorrelation through cross-sectional model. Results: The results of Spearman correlation test analysis showed a significantly strong positive correlation between spot urine protein/creatinine ratio and 24-hour urine protein levels in lupus nephritis (rs =0.96; p &lt;0.001). Based on the degree of proteinuria there was a strong positive correlation between spot urine protein/creatinine ratio and 24-hour urine protein levels in lupus nephritis significantly on the degree of protein &lt;1 g/24-h (rs = 0.91; p &lt;0.001) and at 1–3.5 g/24-h (rs = 0.73; p&lt;0.05).Conclusion : There is a significant strong positive correlation between spot urine protein/creatinine ratio and the 24-hour urine protein levels in lupus nephritis, so it is recommended to use spot urine protein/creatinine ratio, as an alternative quantitative examination in lupus nephritis.Keywords: lupus nephritis, 24-hour urine protein, spot urine protein/creatinine rati

Diametrical Elastic Relaxation During Ejection of lactose-cocoa binary tablets

This work investigates the diametrical elastic relaxation of a compacted binary powder mixture of lactose and cocoa. It has been observed that the addition of lactose improved the mechanical strength of the binary tablets at the higher compaction stresses used in this study. The tablets having the maximum tensile strengths have relatively low diametrical elastic relaxations, similar to the pure cocoa tablets. Meanwhile, pure lactose tablets displayed increasing diametrical elastic relaxations as the compaction stress increased

Effects of two CIDR-based oestrus synchronization protocols on oestrus response in boer goats.

Sixty fertile and healthy female Boer goats were divided equally and randomly into two groups (n=30). The first group received CIDR treatment for 14 days (T14) with 400 IU PMSG and 0.05 mg cloprostenol injection (i.m.) prior to CIDR removal and the second group received CIDR treatment for 9 days (T9) with 0.05 mg cloprostenol injection (i.m.) 24 hours before CIDR removal. The number of does with oestrus and the time of oestrus sign were recorded every 6-hour interval and the observation was conducted from 24 hours after CIDR removal and terminated 66 hours after CIDR removal. Blood samples were taken from all of the does before CIDR insertion and 48 hours after CIDR removal. The results showed all 30 does (100%) in T14 and 28 does (93.3%) in T9 came to oestrus. The mean time of does showing signs of oestrus for both treatments were significantly different in tail flagging and standing to be mounted (P0.05). The current study suggests that CIDR treatment for 14 days with 400 IU PMSG and 0.05 mg cloprostenol prior to CIDR removal gave better result in oestrus synchronisation compared to CIDR treatment for 9 days with 0.05 mg cloprostenol given 24 hours before CIDR removal

Removal of phosphorus from synthetic wastewater using recycled concrete aggregates as a filter medium

These days, sustainability has become a primary concern as the large amount of natural resources are being used to produce materials such as concrete. Concrete from the construction industry constitutes the major proportion of construction waste. This could bring negative impact including depletion of natural resources, pollution, increasing landfill space, and high cost of waste disposal. All of these negative impacts are the sustainability issues that should be concentrated on. Hence, alternative methods have been introduced in order to reduce waste by recycling concrete waste. One of the alternative methods that can be used is by reusing recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) from discarded waste cubes. RCA can be used to produce new concrete but it will generally have a lower performance compared to normal concrete. Thus, the present study introduces an alternative method which is by reusing the RCA as a water filter medium to remove phosphorus from wastewater. Phosphorus is one of the inorganic compounds found in wastewater that can lead to environmental problems such as eutrophication. Based on previous studies, many types of materials with various chemical compositions have been used for phosphorus removal from wastewater. Therefore, this study demonstrates the ability of RCA as an alternative method for phosphorus removal from wastewater. In addition, three different factors have been considered in the removal of phosphorus namely, different initial concentration of phosphorus, different sizes of RCA and dosage of RCA used during the treatment process. Based on the experiments conducted, the lowest initial concentration of phosphorus of 10 mg/L, the smallest RCA size ranging between 0mm to 5mm and the highest RCA dosage of 50g resulted in the highest percentage of phosphorus removal in wastewater
