Distribution Problems

Whatever solutions are eventually found for our present production and distribution problems with protein, meat will be the preferred form for the foreseeable future. Beef production in the tropics, where human nutrition has often been characterised by protein deficiency, has long been bedevilled by a variety of difficulties. Recent work in Cuba shows how sugar cane, in conjunction with inorganic nitrogen, can contribute significantly to the solution of some of these problems.

New Synonymy

The monobasic genus Caenoteleia Kieffer (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) is considered to be a junior synonym of the widespread and common genus Calliscelio Ashmead, new synonymy. Calliscelio elegans (Perkins) is redescribed, transferred to Calliscelio, new combination, and its geographic distribution documented. Originally described from Hawai‘i, this species is widespread through the tropics. The species likely is distributed by human commerce, possibly in association with cricket pests (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) of sugar cane.

Neuron Growth

Mitochondria are essential organelles for neuronal growth, survival, and function. Neurons use specialized mechanisms to drive mitochondria transport and to anchor them in axons and at synapses. Stationary mitochondria buffer intracellular Ca2+ and serve as a local energy source by supplying ATP. The balance between motile and stationary mitochondria responds quickly to changes in axonal and synaptic physiology. Defects in mitochondrial transport are implicated in the pathogenesis of several major neurological disorders. Recent work has provided new insight in the regulation of microtubule-based mitochondrial trafficking and anchoring, and on how mitochondrial motility influences neuron growth, synaptic function, and mitophagy.

Alternative Energy Source

Biomass briquettes have been made as an alternative energy source from cow dung waste. Molasses and starch were used as binder material with a carbonization temperature of 400 °C for 2 hours. The work aims to produce biomass briquettes with the best heating value based on analysis of composition effect and type of binder on the briquette with calorific value. The heat test results showed that briquettes with 10% sugar cane binding content produced the highest calorific value of 3907.5 calories/gram. Sugar cane drops become the better binder than starch in biomass briquettes production.

Cobalt Copper

Recent work concerning the metabolism of iron and the importance of other metals, namely copper, cobalt, zinc and molybdenum, in hematopoeisis is reviewed. It is pointed out that although in animals cobalt, copper, zinc and molybdenum have been shown to play essential roles in hematopoiesis, little is known about the roles of these metals in human nutrition or in hematopoiesis in the human. Claims that these substances enhance the therapeutic action of iron in patients with iron deficiency anemia are not substantiated. The paucity of information concerning the toxicity of these substances is also emphasized. It is concluded that more convincing evidence must be available, concerning the possible benefit to be obtained from the addition of these metals to iron preparations, before the practice of adding them to therapeutic iron preparations can be considered warranted.
