Relationship between RVA properties and physical properties of film made from native corn starch and hydroxypropylated corn starch at various levels of plasticizers was examinel. Tensile strength of the film decreased, but its elongation and water vapor permeability increased with increasing plasticizer concentration. The film with glycerol showed greater changes in physical properties than that with sorbitol. Hydroxypropylated starch film showed lower tensile strength, higher elongation, and higher water vapor permeability than the native starch film. Sorbitol resulted in films with relatively high tensile strength, whereas glycerol produced films with increased elongation. The most reliable parameters for the relationship between RVA properties and film properties were RVA peak viscosity, tensile strength, and water vapor permeability. Water vapor permeability and tensile strength had linear relationship with RVA properties. The tensile strength and water vapor permeability of film could be predicted using the RVA peak viscosity.

Background: Bovine group A rotavirus (BoRVA) is a major cause of severe gastroenteritis in newborn dairy calves. Only one study has investigated the G and P genotypes among dairy calves in a few regions of China, which were G6 and P[5]. Therefore, data on the prevalence and molecular characteristics of BoRVA in dairy calves in China remains limited. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence and molecular characteristics of BoRVA in dairy calves in China. Methods: 269 dairy calves diarrheic samples from 23 farms in six provinces in China were collected to detect BoRVA using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Results: 71% of samples were determined to be BoRVA-positive. Two G genotypes (G6, G10) and two P genotypes (P[1], P[5]) were identified, and G6P[1] BoRVA was the predominant strain. Moreover, the VP7 and VP4 gene sequences of these dairy calf BoRVA strains revealed abundant genetic diversity. Interestingly, eight out of 17 complete G6 VP7 sequences were clustered into G6 lineage VI and analysis showed the strains were closely related to Chinese yak BoRVA strains. Conclusions: The results of this study show that BoRVA circulates widely among dairy calves in China, and the dominant genotype in circulation is G6P[1], first report on molecular characteristics of complete P[5] VP4 genes in chinese dairy calves. These results will help us to further understand the prevalence and genetic evolution of BoRVA among dairy calves in China and, thus, prevent the disease more effectively.

Rotavirus A (RVA) is recognized as a major etiology responsible for the development of acute gastroenteritis in children worldwide. The purpose of the present study was to perform the molecular characterization of RVA. A total of 323 stool specimens collected from hospitalized children with acute gastroenteritis in Chiang Rai, Thailand, in 2016-2018 were identified for G- and P-genotypes through RT-PCR analysis. RVA was more prevalent in 2017-2018 (37.8%) than in 2016-2017 (23.2%). The seasonal peak of RVA occurred from March to April. G3P[8] was predominant in 2016-2017 (90.6%) and 2017-2018 (58.6%). Other genotypes including G1P[8], G8P[8], G9P[8], and mixed infections were also identified. G3P[8] strains clustered together in the same lineage with other novel human equine-like G3P[8] strains previously identified in multiple countries and presented a genotype 2 constellation (G3-P[8]-I2-R2-C2-M2-A2-N2-T2-E2-H2). Several amino acid differences were observed in the antigenic epitopes of the VP7 and VP8* capsid proteins of the equine-like G3P[8] compared with those of the RVA vaccine strains. The homology modeling of the VP7 and VP8* capsid proteins of the equine-like G3P[8] strains evidently exhibited that these residue differences were present on the surface-exposed area of the capsid structure. The emergence of the equine-like G3P[8] strains in Thailand indicates the rapid spread of strains with human and animal gene segments. Continuous surveillance for RVA is essential to monitor genotypes and genetic diversity, which will provide useful information for selecting rotavirus strains to develop a safe and effective RVA vaccine that is efficacious against multiple genotypes and variants.

This paper presents an efficient differential power analysis (DPA) countermeasure for the $Eta_T$ pairing algorithm over GF($2^n$). The proposed algorithm is based on a random value addition (RVA) mechanism. An RVA-based DPA countermeasure for the $Eta_T$ pairing computation over GF($3^n$) was proposed in 2008. This paper examines the security of this RVA-based DPA countermeasure and defines the design principles for making the countermeasure more secure. Finally, the paper proposes an efficient RVA-based DPA countermeasure for the secure computation of the $Eta_T$ pairing over GF($2^n$). The proposed countermeasure not only overcomes the security flaws in the previous RVAbased method but also exhibits the enhanced performance. Actually, on the 8-bit ATmega128L and 16-bit MSP430 processors, the proposed method can achieve almost 39% and 43% of performance improvements, respectively, compared with the best-known countermeasure.

RS yields and swelling powers of cross-linked RS 4 starches and effects of RS 4 starches on the pasting profiles of RS 4 added wheat starch were measured using RVA. RS yields by AOAC method were different among RS 4 starches and RS levels were higher in low swelling RS 4 starches than moderate swelling RS 4 starches. Swelling power was different with botanical source of starch and preparing procedure of RS 4 starches. The pasting curves of RS 4 added wheat starches showed increasing initial pasting temperature and lower viscosity but the patterns were similar to those of wheat starch. The pasting viscosity pattern of RS 4 added wheat starches was related with swelling power of RS 4 starch.

Allulose, a monosaccharide isomer of fructose, was evaluated as a sucrose replacer for healthy cookie production with benefits such as low glycemic impact and low calorie content. Sucrose (as a reference), fructose, glucose, and allulose were used to explore the effects of sugar-replacer type on solvent retention capacity (SRC), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), rapid visco-analyzer (RVA), and wire-cut cookie baking. SRC results indicated the lowest swelling of solvent-accessible arabinoxylans in allulose compared to that in other sugar solutions. DSC and RVA results showed retardation of starch gelatinization and onset of starch pasting, respectively, in the following order: water < allulose < fructose < glucose < sucrose. Among sugars, wire-cut cookies formulated with glucose showed the least desirable attributes with respect to cookie diameter and thickness. Although the baking response of allulose was slightly inferior to that of the sucrose control, the sugar exhibited a superior baking response to that of fructose, suggesting it could be used successfully as a fructose alternative or sucrose alternative for producing wire-cut cookies with reduced calorie content and low glycemic impact.

Recently, pairings over elliptic curve have been applied for various ID-based encryption/signature/authentication/key agreement schemes. For efficiency, the $Eta_T$ pairings over GF($P^n$) (P = 2, 3) were invented, however, they are vulnerable to side channel attacks such as DPA because of their symmetric computation structure compared to other pairings such as Tate, Ate pairings. Several countermeasures have been proposed to prevent side channel attacks. Especially, Masaaki Shirase's method is very efficient with regard to computational efficiency, however, it has security flaws. This paper examines closely the security flaws of RVA-based countermeasure on $Eta_T$ Pairing algorithm from the implementation point of view.

Species A rotaviruses (RVAs) replicate and assemble their immature particles within electron dense compartments known as viroplasms, where lipid droplets (LDs) interact with the viroplasm and facilitate viral replication. Despite the importance of LD formation in the life cycle of RVAs, the upstream molecules modulating LD formation remain unclear. This study aimed to find out the role of sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) in reprogramming of LD formation after RVA infection. Here, we demonstrate that RVA infection reprograms the sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs)-dependent lipogenic pathways in virus-infected cells, and that both SREBP-1 and -2 transactivated genes, which are involved in fatty acid and cholesterol biosynthesis, are essential for LD formation. Our results showed that pharmacological inhibition of SREBPs using AM580 and betulin and inhibition of their downstream cholesterol biosynthesis (simvastatin for HMG-CoA reductase) and fatty acid enzymes (TOFA) negatively modulated the intracellular triacylglycerides and cholesterol levels and their resulting LD and viroplasm formations. Interestingly, pharmacological inhibition of SREBPs significantly reduced RVA protein synthesis, genome replication and progeny production. This study identified SREBPs-mediated lipogenic reprogramming in RVA-infected host cells, which facilitates virus replication through LD formation and its interaction with viroplasms, suggesting that SREBPs can be a potential target for the development of efficient and affordable therapeutics against RVA infection.

The purpose of this study was to examine physical properties of the bread flour added two different commercial sour dough powder. Addition of sour dough powder didn't show different water absorption, but reduce stability and increase breakdown on farinogram. Initial pasting temperatures of bread flour were increased by 0.7-1.3$^{\circ}C$ when sour dough powder was added. Peak viscosity were increased by 3-6 RVA with addition of Phil IM 1, but addition of Phil XN 290 didn't show much difference with unadded bread flour Hardness of bread added Phil XN 290 and Phil IM 1 were lower than control after 2 days of making bread, but after 4 days they showed rapid increment. Sensory test showed that addition of Phil XN 290 2％ and Phil IM 1％ had better general evaluation than the others.
