    Notes:
    Blueberry juice has a strong flavor and low sugar content, but does not make an affordable, palatable drink unless mixed with water or another juice. This study investigated characteristics of blueberry juice blended with Concord, Reliance, Sunbelt, and Venus grape juices, and Thompson Seedless concentrate (TSC), The blends were evaluated by a trained sensory panel for the attributes of blueberry flavor, color, and aroma, and for astringency, body, and sweetness. Intensity of blueberry-related sensory attributes increased with increased concentration of blueberry juice for all two-way juice beverage blends. Blends sweetened with high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) as opposed to TSC were perceived as significantly different in triangle testing. In three-way blends of blueberry, Concord, and water, replacing HFCS with TSC as a sweetener, and increasing the percentage of blueberry and Concord juice increased intensity ratings for blueberry aroma, and the effects were additive. For the attributes of body, color, flavor, and sweetness, changing sweeteners had no effect, but increasing the percentage of blueberry and Concord grape juice increased the intensity ratings for these characteristics.

    Notes:
    Rice, thermally canned as an acid food, was studied to determine if the process would provide a product which was safe and acceptable. Heat penetration studies showed that heat transfer was initially by convection and then by conduction as the rice imbibed sufficient water to restrict the convection currents. Although heat penetration studies indicated that a temperature of 180°F (82°C) was reached in 8 min and inoculated packs processed for 20 minutes in actively boiling water did not support bacterial growth, 30 minutes processing time was required to attain optimum quality. Canned rice, rice with textured vegetable protein (TVP®), Spanish rice, and Spanish rice with TVP were rated acceptable in general appearance, texture and taste. Experimental Spanish rice was rated superior to one and equal to two commercial Spanish rice products in general appearance and flavor.〈section xml:id="abs1-2"〉〈title type="main"〉SUMMARYTHESE DATA indicate that the process described by Sharp et al. (1981) produced an adequately processed canned rice product. Processing in actively boiling water for 20 min was adequate to destroy the vegetative cells in an inoculated pack while a pH of 4.4 prevented spores from germinating. The potential of the processing method was demonstrated by the development of four products that were rated acceptable.

    Notes:
    Parboiled long grain milled rice was toasted to assess the effects of dry heat on the canning quality. Toasting was accomplished by exposing the rice to 170°C for 0, 1.5, 30, 45 or 60 min. Increased toasting time resulted in decreased whiteness and yellowness and increased redness, but the intensity of the color change was diminished by hydration and canning. Toasting time increased the force required to shear the canned product; however, the rate of retrogradation, as measured by amylographic viscosity, seemingly was unaffected by the toasting treatments. Sensory evaluations indicated that preferences for flavor and general appearance of the canned toasted rice were very individualistic.

    Abstract Osteocalcin is an osteoblast-specific protein believed to be associated with events occurring during bone mineralization, which has been widely used clinically as an indicator of osteoblast function. Plasma osteocalcin concentrations (pOC) were studied in 94 (59 male, 35 female) healthy and 44 (21 male, 23 female) rachitic Nigerian children, all one to five years of age. The study was aimed at establishing a reference range for healthy Nigerian children determining any changes in plasma osteocalcin levels occurring in children with calcium-deficiency rickets. In the controls, pOC levels ranged from 3–89 ng/ml, with a mean value of 23±19 ng/ml. The values were higher in girls (29±21 ng/ml) than in boys (21±18 ng/ml), though not significantly. The controls had values consistent with other published pediatric ranges from Europe and North America. In the younger rachitic children (under 3 years) the mean pOC was lower than in the controls (P=0.04) despite the much elevated plasma levels of 1,25(OH)2D. In the controls, pOC correlated with 1,25(OH)2D (r=0.59, P=0.003), alkaline phosphatase (r=0.22, P=0.03), and inorganic phosphate (r=0.27, P=0.01). These correlations were lost in the rickets group. The findings in the controls confirm the known association between plasma 1,25(OH)2D and circulating osteocalcin levels, whereas the findings in the rickets group suggest that the stimulatory effects of 1,25(OH)2D on osteocalcin may depend on other permissive factors, such as normal circulating levels of calcium and phosphate.

    Abstract. Calcium deficiency is a major etiological determinant of rickets in Nigerian children and is accompanied by undermineralization of the developing bone matrix which is composed largely of type I collagen. We have assessed types I and III collagen metabolism by measuring the circulating concentrations of the N- and C-terminal propeptides (intact PINP and PICP) and the C-terminal telopeptide (ICTP) of type I collagen, and the N-terminal propeptide (PIIINP) of type III collagen in 94 healthy Nigerian children and in 44 children aged 1–5 years with active calcium-deficiency rickets. In active rickets the mean levels of the four collagen metabolites were approximately twofold higher than in the healthy children, despite a wide variation of individual values. Mean intact PINP was 812 ± 279 versus 403 ± 189 μg/liter; PICP was 573 ± 265 versus 348 ± 229 μg/liter; PIIINP was 16.8 ± 8.6 versus 10.8 ± 3.6 μg/liter, and ICTP was 28.4 ± 17.2 versus 11.9 ± 4.1 μg/liter (all P 〈 0.001), in rachitic and healthy children, respectively. Healthy children younger than 3 years had higher levels of all the collagen metabolites than those between 3 and 5 years (all P 〈 0.05). Alkaline phosphatase was greater in rickets than in the healthy group (P 〈 0.001) whereas mean osteocalcin levels were slightly lower (P= 0.09). 1,25(OH)2D correlated with all the collagen propeptides, but not with ICTP in the healthy children. No such correlations were found in rickets, where there was a poor inverse correlation between 1,25(OH)2D and ICTP. These data suggest that collagen turnover is elevated in cases of calcium-deficiency rickets, where vitamin D status is adequate, possibly indicating increased turnover of undermineralized osteoid.

    Abstract Some earlier equilibrium calculations with different C/O ratios involving the gas phase and several condensed phase species were repeated here with a considerably more extensive chemistry. As before, condensation substantially changes the partial pressure of HCN, and the similarities with the earlier work suggest that the chemistry is relatively complete.

    Abstract We have re-investigated the earlier calculations of Sharp and Höfflich (1989) for the first overtone of CO as observed in SN 1987A. The cooling effect of CO has been included in the models. We found a similar but slightly lower CO-enrichment. The sensitivity of the band structure on temperature is also demonstrated.

    Summary Crosses between compound-2L; free-2R (free-arm) and standard strains of Drosophila melanogaster produce two classes of inviable aneuploid hybrids in equal proportions: monosomic 2L and trisomic 2L. The lethal period for monosomics occurs during embryogenesis while the trisomics survive to late pupae. Since the hybrids are inviable, standard and free-arm strains within a mixed population remain genetically isolated. Genetic isolation in the absence of mating isolation offers an extreme example of unstable equilibrium. Relative fitness data indicate that an unstable equilibrium will be established between free-arm and standard strains at a ratio of 2.5∶1. Indeed, in three cage experiments established at initial ratios of 3∶1, free arms to standards, laboratory (Oregon R) or native (Okanagan S) standard strains were completely replaced in approximately 100 days by free-arm lines derived either from laboratory or from native genetic background. In contrast, one cage established at an initial ratio of 4∶1 failed to show replacement and for 92 days remained at approximately the initial ratio. Subsequent genetic analysis of flies removed from this cage identified the presence of an anomalous strain through which genetic information was transferred reciprocally between the free-arm and standard lines. The second chromosomes carried by this strain consisted of a free-2R and a standard second on the right arm of which was attached a duplication for all of 2L. While the origin of the 2L·2R+2L chromosome was uncertain, genetic and cytological examinations revealed that it represented the reciprocal crossover product expected from an exchange that generated a F(2R). Additional crosses disclosed that the transmission frequency of the asymmetrical pair of second chromosomes, as well as their right-arm crossover products, was disproportionately in favor of the short arm. Since unequal transmission was invariably greater from female parents, this phenomenon was viewed as further evidence in support of the drag hypothesis.

    Abstract A commercially available semi-automated bioluminescence adenosine triphosphate assay system for rapid detection of significant bacteriuria was evaluated. Excellent reproducibility of results using the bioluminescence apparatus was noted, and there was no bacterial carry-over using a pre-diluter. The results obtained with 2,000 urine specimens tested by bioluminescence and a routine cultural technique were compared. The bioluminescence system gave no false negative results and a bioluminescence positive/culture negative finding of 13.6 % in general specimens and 45.0 % in ante-natal and maternity specimens. In the latter group, the majority of urines yielded growth of lactobacilli and/or diphtheroids (〈 104 organisms/ml) when subcultured on enriched media. Results indicated that bioluminescence may identify urinary tract infections in patients receiving antimicrobial therapy. The advantages of this 45 minute technique for bacteriuria screening are presented.
