Bio quantum path duality metamorphosizes Newtonian rigid inertia into bio-inertia

Newtonian inertia has initiated science centuries ago and dictates modern society with isolated logic systems. The hidden premise of this system is rigid existence in an isolated environment that defies any internal motion. The equivalent principle from general relativity and the T-symmetry reversible processes from thermodynamics also rely on such a notion. However, bio-inertia originates from the blind spots of this system; surface tension region inversion as the most general interactions is sacrificed for methodological isolation/test purposes and then neglected by science. We define and experiment bio-inertia as “parameter-against-gravity-recovery”, revealing the interaction between Planck regions and surface tension regions issues negentropy, conventional quantum collapse period is then extended to lifespan. This modulation which integrates quantum mechanics, gravitational waves, thermodynamics into surface tension bio quantum path duality needs to break the isolated logic method and takes musical inversion as structural dynamics in bio-systems, generalized as Basic Law of Evolution. An original evolutionary physical string oscillation memory equation is unveiled for the first time.

Effect of short-term high tryptophan diet fed to sows on their subsequent piglet behavior

Housing sows in groups creates the challenge of decreasing fighting amongst sows. One proposed method to do so is to feed a high tryptophan diet, but the effect on the fetus is unkown. To investigate this, 66 sows were fed 1 of 3 diets: Control (0.14 % SID tryptophan), Medium (0.28 % SID tryptophan), or High (0.4 2% SID tryptophan), from d 28 to 35 of gestation. Sows gestated in standard gestation stalls. Blood samples were taken on d 27 prior to and on d 35 after tryptophan supplementation. On d 1 and d 2, 3 nursing bouts were observed so as to record disputes and displacements from teat competition. The piglets’ activity and fighting were recorded on d 3, 7, and 11 from 0700 h to 1700 h. On d 12, 4 piglets per litter were blood sampled, 2 to be used in later behavior tests and 2 to act as controls for blood cortisol levels. On d 14, the 2 behavior test piglets from each litter were subjected to a 10-min Isolation Test and 5-min Human Approach Test. On d 15, the behavior test piglets were paired by sex and treatment (for example, a male Medium piglet paired with another male Medium piglet from a different crate) and each pair was subjected to a 10-min Social Challenge Test and immediately blood sampled. Piglet cortisol and serotonin did not differ among treatments (P > 0.10). There were no differences (P > 0.10) for number born (12.7 ± 0.4), born alive (11.7 ± 0.4), or mortality (1.1 ± 0.2). Behavior during nursing bouts was similar, with no treatment differences in number of disputes or displacements, and similar bout lengths among treatments (199.5 ± 4.6 s, P > 0.10). No differences were detected for any of the variables for Isolation or the Human Approach Tests (P > 0.10). During the Social Challenge Test, High piglets had more contacts approaching the head of the companion piglet than did either Medium or Control piglets (14.3 ± 1.1, 10.7 ± 1.1, and 9.69 ± 0.8 respectively, P < 0.02). Total number of aggressive interactions during the test tended to be greater for Medium piglets compared to High piglets (9.3 ± 1.5 vs 5.1 ± 0.9, P < 0.07). Time budget data of the litter indicate that piglets from all 3 treatments spent equal amounts of time active and inactive (P > 0.10). Aggression was low with 0.3 ± 0.04 % of piglets displaying aggressive behavior. Feeding high concentrations of tryptophan for a short duration early in gestation does not have a negative impact on sows’ subsequent offspring.

Nieuwe inzichten over het voorzetselvoorwerp

New insights on the prepositional objectAn influential article by Hans Broekhuis in Nederlandse Taalkunde 9 (2004) treated PP complements (type He thought of her all day) in Dutch. It contained sharp observations, intriguing hypotheses and a somewhat puzzling classification of the verbs allowing these complements. It provoked a lively discussion, on matters such as the number of possible PP complements in one sentence, the value of distinctive criteria such as an isolation test with en doet dat, the functional status of the preposition. Broekhuis’ generative-style syntactic reasoning at times clashed with approaches inspired by form/content analysis, valency theory and constructional grammar. In all, the original contribution to this journal and the subsequent discussion brought new and interesting insights in this traditionally hard-to-deal-with syntactic category.

DETECTION AND INVESTIGATION OF ASPERGILLUS NIGER AND OCHRATOXIN A IN WALNUT AND PEANUT

This study was conducted at the Department of Plant Protection-College of Agriculture-University of Baghdad during 2015 -2016. The objective of the study is to investigate the contamination of the fungus Aspergillus niger in the seeds of peanuts and walnuts from the Iraqi local markets and the ability of these isolates to produce ochratoxin A in artificial medium. Forty samples of peanuts and walnuts were collected from local markets of the governorates of Baghdad, Erbil, Sulaymaniyah , Anbar and Dyiala for isolation test of A. nigar. Results showed that A.niger was founded in the samples of walnuts from Erbil at percentage of 50% and 42.8% in the samples of peanuts from Baghdad ,and 40 % in peanuts from each Anbar and Dyiala, in addition to the fungus A.flavus at a rate of33.3 و 28.8 % in the walnuts from Erbil and Baghdad respectively and 30% و28.8% in the peanuts from Anbar and Baghdad respectively. Eleven isolates of fungus A.niger was tested against its ability to produce Ochratoxin A after grown in yeast and sucrose extract media and analyzed using thin layer chromatography (TLC) under UV light wave length of 365 nanometer, two isolates were identified (K,E) out of the A.niger fungus isolated from peanuts found to be able to produce Ochratoxin A at different rates, depending on the degree of the brightness of the spots compared with standard Toxin. Then the eleven isolates were identified by morphology characters and confirm by using specific primer NIG1and NIG2, all the isolates showed to be A.niger.

Handling type and horses’ emotional reactivity

Handling is a crucial component of the human-horse relationship. Here, we report data from an experiment conducted to assess and compare the effect of two training methods. Two groups of six Welsh mares were trained during four sessions of 50 min, one handled with traditional exercises (halter leading, grooming/brushing, lifting feet, lunging and pseudo-saddling (using only girth and saddle pad) and the second group with natural horsemanship exercises (desensitization, yielding to body pressure, lunging and free-lunging). Emotional reactivity (ER) and the human-horse relationship (HHR) were assessed both prior to and following handling. A social isolation test, a neophobia test and a bridge test were used to assess ER. HHR was assessed through test of spontaneous approach to, and forced approach by, an unknown human. Horses' ER decreased after both types of handling as indicated by decreases in the occurrence of whinnying during stressful situations. Head movement (jerk/shake) was the most sensitive variable to handling type. In the spontaneous approach tests, horses in the traditional handling group showed higher latencies to approach a motionless person after handling than did the natural horsemanship group. Our study suggests that natural horsemanship exercises could be more efficient than traditional exercises for improving horses' HHR.
