RNA-seq Evaluating Several Custom Microarrays Background Correction and Gene Expression Data Normalization Systems | Chapter 09 | Advances and Trends in Biotechnology and Genetics Vol. 2

Microarray gene expression technologies represents a widely used tool in transcriptomics and genomics studies worldwide. This technology is stable with the purpose of gene expression differential analysis because of their well-established biostatistics and bioinformatics analysis schemes. However, microarray reliability with regard that analysis typology, depend on probe specificity as well as applied data normalisation and/or background correction procedures. Then, we assessed the performance of 20 different microarrays background correction / gene expression data normalisation combination procedures from “linear models for microarray and RNA-Seq data analysis” package (limma), by comparing significantly differentially expressed genes detected by several custom microarray design strategies, depending on microarray probe size as well as probe set number per transcript model by assuming RNA-Seq approach as benchmark. Basing exclusively on a multivariate statistical clustering surveys, in R programing environment, we showed the pre-eminence of data normalisation (DN) as opposed to noise background correction/subtraction (BS) in microarray expression analysis. Although the combination between (i) gene expression data normalization and (ii) background subtraction procedures (BS+DN), improves the agreement between heterogenic microarray platforms as well as RNA-Seq platform in calling significantly modulated genes, quantile normalisation system combined with all processed background correction procedures has been discriminated as exhibiting highest sensitivity with RNA-Seq (p < 0.05). In conclusion we showed the pre-eminence of microarray data pre-processing step in gene expression differential analysis by according a priority to data normalisation procedure especially to quantile normalisation system contributing in stabilizing gene expression differential analysis results with regard heterogenic custom microarray design strategies (heterogenic microarray platforms).

Greening Regional Airports: A Vision for Carbon Neutral Infrastructure | Chapter 12 | Contemporary Perspective on Science, Technology and Research Vol. 3

 This study provides an overview of the energy demand of a regional airport, divided into individual time horizons. The electrification of aircraft systems raises the question of whether airports will be among the largest electricity consumers in our infrastructure in the future. Sustainability and especially emission reductions are significant challenges for airports that are currently being addressed. The Clean Sky 2 project GENESIS addresses the environmental sustainability of hybrid-electric 50-passenger aircraft systems in a life cycle perspective to support the development of a technology roadmap for the transition to sustainable and competitive electric aircraft systems. This article originates from the GENESIS research and describes various options for ground power supply at a regional airport. Potential solutions for airport infrastructure with a short (2030), medium (2040), and long (2050) time horizon are proposed. In addition to the environmental and conservation benefi...

Study on Processing Method Influences the Effect of Cassava (Manihot esculenta) Consumption on Blood Lipid Profile in Rats | Chapter 8 | Current Research and Development in Chemistry Vol.1

Cassava is consumed in many tropical countries and is fast becoming the major raw material of many diets, especially in the bakery, brewery and pharmaceutical industries. In a study to determine the effects of various formulations of Cassava feeds on blood lipid profile in rats. Forty adult Wistar rats weighing between 120 and 150 g were divided into 4 groups of 10 rats each. The rats were acclimatized for one week; fed with different formulations of Cassava feeds adlibitum, after which the rats were allotted into groups. Group 1 was fed on Garri; group 2 on Cassava flour; group 3 on Tapioca, and the control group (group 4) on normal chow. After 4 weeks, each animal was anaesthetized by exposure to chloroform vapour and blood samples collected by cardiac puncture. Group 1 diet (Garri) significantly increased HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration and significantly decreased LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) concentration (p<0.05) compared with the control group. In Group 2 (Cassava flour), t...

Ethnopharmacological Survey among Traditional Medicine Practitioners in Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire) for the Management of Pathologies such as Malaria, ENT Diseases, Diarrhea, Typhoid Fever and Anemia | Chapter 05 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 Traditional Medicine Practitioners (TMPs) of Côte d'Ivoire are familiar with the therapeutic herbs. Medicinal plants have been shown to be useful in the treatment of common diseases such as malaria (KROA, 2004) and diabetes (N'GUESSAN et al, 2013) in several studies and scientific study. In the Abidjan District, the current policy is to integrate traditional medicine and pharmacopoeia into the national health system in order to improve population health coverage, particularly in the management of commonly encountered diseases such as malaria, ENT diseases, diarrhoea, typhoid fever, and anaemia. This research aims to increase the use of traditional medicine and pharmacopoeia in the national health system. Over the course of three months, fifty (50) PMTs in the District of Abidjan participated in this study. Plant therapists accounted for 30 of the 50 PMTs polled at the end of the study, or 60%. Traditional medicine centres use 61 types of medicinal plants from 36 famili...
