Abstract Objectives Available data on the Nutrient properties of Noni Fruit (concentrate, pulp and seed) is very limited. Noni plant is a small evergreen tree, used for both medicinal purposes and for food. This study assessed the nutrients, ant nutrients and phytochemical properties of Noni Concentrate, Pulp, and seed. Methods 6 kg of matured, ripe noni fruit (Morinda citrifolia), was harvested from the Farm, cleaned, and divided into three equal portions. One portion was crushed to extract the Noni pulp, which was packaged in an air tight container and kept for analysis. The second portion was processed with the aid of a juice extractor. The concentrate was extracted and stored in a clean dry container for analysis. The third portion was crushed to select the seed, which was grounded to fine powder and packaged for analysis. The data obtained was subjected to various statistical methods which included simple descriptive Statistics. Results The proximate composition of Noni seed, pulp and concentrate showed that the seed had the highest protein content (4.53%) in relation to pulp (0.04%) and concentrate (0.002%). The seed had 28.7% crude fibre value, while pulp and concentrate had 0.03% and 1.95% respectively. The carbohydrate content of the pulp was observed to be the lowest (2.36%), in relation to seed (55.45%) and concentrate (5.88%). The crude fat content of the pulp (3.98%) and concentrate (2.99%) were higher than the seed (2.00%). The vitamin A value of Noni seed (0.37mg@g) was lower than the concentrate (0.435mg@g) and pulp (0.53mg@g). The Tannin content of Noni seed (0.27%) was higher than the pulp (0.22%) and concentrate (0.23%). The results of the flavonoids showed seeds (8.55%), pulp (2.97%) and concentrate (2.57%). The potassium content of the pulp (11.8 mg/100 g) was higher than the concentrate (8.07 mg/100 g) and seed (0.26 mg/100 g). The sodium content of the seed (0.40 mg/100 g) was significantly (P < 0.05) higher than the pulp (0.20 mg/100 g) and concentrate (0.11 mg/100 g). The pulp had the highest Magnesium value (0.82 mg/100 g) in relation to the seed (0.37 mg/100 g) and concentrate (0.51 mg/100 g). Conclusions The high fibre value and phenolic compounds found in Noni seed makes it a functional food with high Nutritional standing. Funding Sources Research was funded by the two Authors and Mr Oliver Alawuba.

Background: According to 2018 World Health Organization (WHO) data globally, an estimated 17.3% of the population has inadequate zinc intake, with estimates ranging from 5.7% in Oceania to 7.6% in Europe, 9.6% in America and the Caribbean, highest in Africa (23.9%) and Asia (19.6%). Zinc is important for the function of a number of enzymes and growth hormones during pregnancy. In pregnant women, the relative zinc concentration decreases up to 35% due to the influence of hormonal changes and the transport of nutrients from mother to baby. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of giving zinc tablets to pregnant women with zinc deficiency in the third trimester on body weight and length of babies born at the Makassar City Health Center. Methods: This type of research is True Experimental with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The sample in this study was 62 samples of third trimester pregnant women, and the sampling technique used was purposive sampling. Measurement of zinc levels in third trimester pregnant women using the Elisa reader kit at the Research Laboratory of the Hasanuddin University Teaching Hospital. The research instruments were in the form of a research explanation sheet, respondent's consent sheet, respondent's checklist sheet, and the mother's zinc tablet consumption control sheet for 14 days. Results: Judging from the average value of newborns in pregnant women who did not have zinc deficiency, the average value of birth weight in pregnant women with zinc deficiency was 15.70 g/dL and 18.95 g/dL. zinc deficiency with a value (p < 0.05), while pregnant women with zinc deficiency have an average birth length of 10.00 g/dL and mothers who do not have a deficiency of 19.87 g/dL with a value (p < 0.05). So, it can be concluded that giving zinc tablets to pregnant women in the third trimester has an effect on Birth Weight (BBL) and Birth Length (PBL). Conclusion: Giving zinc tablets has an effect on increasing zinc levels in third trimester zinc deficiency pregnant women and increasing birth weight and length of the baby.

1. The pH of the blood of the third instar Gastrophilus larva is 6.64 at 38° C. with a pH-temperature coefficient of -0.007 Per 1° C. rise in temperature. 2. The total CO2 content of the blood varies from 40.6 to 131.4 vol. % with an average of 72.4 vol. %. The CO2 content of the tissues minus the cuticle is very close to, and follows the variations in, the CO2 content of the blood. 3. The CO2 tension in the blood is from 300 to 500 mm. Hg. From 30 to 50% of the CO2 is in solution, the rest in the form of bicarbonate. Carbamate formation does not occur in the blood. 4. The ‘apparent’ dissociation constant for carbonic acid, (pK'1), has a value of 6.08 (S.D. ±0.06) at 38° C. and 6.19 (s.d. ±0.13) at 16° C. 5. CO2 dissociation curves have been drawn for 38 and 16° C. The slope of the curves indicates that the whole of the CO2 is given off at zero CO2 tension, and that the blood is adapted for functioning at high CO2 tensions.

I offer a critique of Weber’s two ethics. The first layer is internal and concerned with their logics. The second layer considers the external knowledge necessary to apply them appropriately and argues that it is extremely difficult to come by. The third layer connects Weber’s ethics to his politics because the choice of either ethic in almost any context is a value choice. This is apparent in Weber’s application of these ethics to Germany foreign policy. He used his ethics in a rhetorical way to justify his values rather than using these values as a guide to policy assessment. This reversal is endemic to politics. One response might be to stipulate beforehand the kinds of policies that are unacceptable in democracies regardless of their expected outcomes.

Dominance allows animals priority of access to resources when these are limited. It is common practice to feed dry sows once or twice daily a relatively small amount of food. This can lead to high competition for food, when there are no provisions for individual feeding of group housed sows. In contrast, competition for food should be low when offeredad libitum.This study was designed to investigate the effect of feeding regime on the measurement of hierarchies in group housed dry sows.Four groups of 12 multiparous sows were housed in deep straw pens (3.1 m2/sow). Two groups were offered a high fibre dietad libitumfrom a three-space hopper (LC) and two groups were floor-fed 3 kg/sow of a standard diet once daily (HC). The diet composition is given in Brouns et al (1992).Groups were allocated to treatment after service. After two months on treatment, the dominance of every sow in each pen was determined in a feed competition test between all possible dyads of sows. A more detailed description of this test is given in Brouns et al (1992). The results of this test indicated how many pen mates each sow dominated (DR). This was used to calculate an index of linearity for the hierarchy (Appleby, 1983) giving a value between 0 and 1, where 1 indicates a completely linear hierarchy.

Abstract Myctolaimus platypi sp. n. is described and figured. The third-stage dauer juveniles of M. platypi sp. n. were isolated from the underside of the elytra of the oak borer, Platypus quercivorus, and were reared on an Asparagine-Mannitol (A-M) agar. Specimens of adult nematodes for description and measurements were collected from a 2-week-old culture on A-M agar. The new species is characterised by having the stoma shorter than the pro-metacorpus, shape of the rounded-cylindroid pro-metacorpus, the obvious longitudinal striations on the cuticle, and thick cuticle. The male and female of the new species have a body length of ca 700-1000 μm, a value of ca 20, b value of ca 6, and c value of ca 10. Males of the new species have strongly arcuate, C-shaped spicules 71 (62-80) μm long, 29 (25-35) μm long gubernaculum with pointed distal end, and nine pairs of caudal papillae. There is no bursa. Ceratosolenus is proposed as a junior synonym of Myctolaimus and the following new combinations are also proposed: M. anoplophorae comb. n.; M. inevectus comb. n.; and M. racemosa comb. n.

Inclusion of high levels of the high-fibre ingredient sugar-beet pulp in pre-mating diets has been shown to increase gonadotrophin concentrations and improve oocyte quality in nulliparous pigs (gilts). This study evaluated the effects of two alternative fibre sources on reproductive performance in gilts. Gilts received one of three diets from 3 weeks before puberty stimulation until Day 19 of the first oestrous cycle: control (39 g kg–1 fibre), bran (500 g kg–1 wheat bran, 65 g kg–1 fibre) or lupin (350 g kg–1 lupin, 118 g kg–1 crude fibre). Diet did not affect circulating LH concentrations or ovarian follicle size. However, a higher percentage of oocytes collected from lupin-supplemented gilts reached metaphase II in vitro compared with those collected from bran-fed or control gilts (89 ± 5% versus 72 ± 5% and 66 ± 5%, respectively; P < 0.05). Furthermore, in a second experiment, gilts fed the same lupin-based diet before mating had improved embryo survival (92 ± 5%) on Day 28 after mating compared with control gilts (76 ± 4%; P < 0.05). Therefore, feeding a high-fibre diet before mating can improve oocyte quality in gilts without changes in circulating LH, but this effect is dependent on the fibre source.

A value is missing in the third row of the O3—C3 section of Table 3 on p. 238 of Farrugia et al. (2003). The missing value which should be in the fifth column is 13.757, and the remaining entries should be transfered to the next column along.


The addition of molecular oxygen was found to increase the rate of rem oval of hydrogen atoms in a flow system at and below room temperature. Kinetic studies of this process using argon carrier showed that the rate-determining step is the third-order reaction H + O2 + Ar = HO 2 + Ar. (2) Atomic oxygen in small concentrations is produced in the system. Product analysis and measurements of oxygen atom concentrations indicated that the principal reactions removing HO 2 under these conditions are H+HO 2 = H 2 +O 2 , (12a) H+HO 2 = OH+OH, (12b) H+HO 2 = H 2 O+O 2 , (12c) A value for k 2 of 2.2 x 10 -32 cm 6 molecule -2 s -1 was determined at 293 °K. Reaction (2) was found to have a small negative temperature coefficient. These data and values of k 2 from explosion limit studies can be represented by the expression k 2 = 1.3 x 10 -33 exp (+ 1600 + 700/ RT ) cm 6 molecule -2 s -1 in the range 250 to 800 °K. The third-body efficiencies in reaction (2) at 293 °K of He and H 2 O relative to Ar are similar to those obtained from data on the second explosion limit at higher temperatures.
