Genetic diversity in a collection of ornamental squash (Cucurbita pepo L.)

The aim of this study is collecting and preserving of unique Cucurbita pepo germplasm in Serbia. This study also describes the intraspecific variation of C. pepo within twenty germplasm accessions. Conservation work aimed to develop a representative core collection of C. pepo germplasm, to guide future studies and breeding of its ornamental use. A wide range of C. pepo germplasm was collected from diferent parts of the world. Nineteen variables were recorded in 20 varieties to determine the overall degree of polymorphism and to detect similarities among them. Qualitative traits of fruit such is shape, color and texture, showed immense variation. Coefficient of variation were highest for fruit length, fruit weight and number of fruits per plant (CV=56.69161.32%), while they were the lowest for leaf length (CV=20.65%). Morphological characterization is need to facilitate the use of C. pepo varieties in breeding work. Based on the PCA results, 20 accessions of squash are separate in five groups. Those groups are unique in qualitative and quantitative traits. Knowledge of genetic divergence among varieties is essential for breeding.

Root Morphology, Plant Growth, Nitrate Accumulation and Nitrogen Metabolism of Temperate Lettuce Grown in the Tropics with Elevated Root-Zone CO2 at Different Root-Zone Temperatures

This paper investigated the effects of root-zone (RZ) CO2 concentration ([CO2]) on root morphology and growth, nitrate (NO3-) uptake and assimilation of lettuce plants at different root-zone temperatures (RZT). Elevated RZ [CO2] stimulated root development, root and shoot growth compared to ambient RZ [CO2]. The greatest increase in root growth was observed in plants grown under elevated RZ [CO2] of 50,000 ppm. However, RZ [CO2] of 10,000 ppm was sufficient to achieve the maximal leaf area and shoot productivity. Lettuce plants exhibited faster shoot and root growth at 20°C-RZT than at ambient (A)-RZT. However, under elevated RZ [CO2], the magnitude of increased growth was greater at A-RZT than at 20°C-RZT. Compared to RZ [CO2] of 360 ppm, elevated RZ [CO2] of 10,000 ppm increased NO3- accumulation and nitrate reductase activity (NRA) in both leaves and roots. NO3- concentrations of leaf and root were higher at 20°C-RZT than at A-RZT in all plants. NRA was higher in root than in leaf especially under A-RZT. The total reduced nitrogen (TRN) concentration was significantly higher in plants grown under elevated RZ [CO2] of 10,000 ppm than under ambient RZ [CO2] of 360 ppm with greater concentration in 20°C-RZT plants than in A-RZT plants. These results imply that elevated RZ [CO2] significantly affected root morphology, root and shoot growth and N metabolism of temperate lettuce with greater impacts at A-RZT than at 20°C-RZT. These findings have practical significance to vegetable production by growing the vegetable crops at cool-RZT with elevated RZ [CO2] to enhance its productivity.

Lymphoma arising from the skin is the second most common site of extra-nodal non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Over the last 25 years, the incidence has been rising. There is now a new World Health Organization/European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer joint classification for cutaneous lymphomas and new proposed International Society for Cutaneous Lymphomas/European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer staging systems. This overview examines the role of radiotherapy in the current management of cutaneous Tand B-cell lymphomas encompassing technological advances, new systemic therapies and novel radio-enhancing therapies now available. Modern total skin electron beam radiotherapy and the current low-dose and combination approaches are reviewed. Radiotherapy has remained the most successful treatment for cutaneous lymphoma over the last 50 years and with the technological advances and combination approaches available now and in the future will remain so for the next 50 years. 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of The Royal College of Radiologists.
Does Bodily Temperature Explain the Differential Incidence of Gonadal Burkitt Tumor

Whereas the ovary lies within the warm depth of the pelvis, its homologous counterpart, the testis, hangs coolly outside on account of the natural function of the cremaster muscles of the scrotum. Therefore, it is epidemiologically unique that 18 cases of ovarian Burkitt tumor were found against one testicular case in a 30-year biopsy series obtained among a Nigerian ethnic group. Accordingly, it is suggested that temperature is at play. Moreover, this hypothesis should be put to the test along the Burkitt belt worldwide, seeing that the environment itself came into the picture when Burkitt wrote his epochal article in 1958. 2.
X-ray coronae in simulations of disc galaxy formation

The existence of X-ray luminous gaseous coronae around massive disc galaxies is a long-standing prediction of galaxy formation theory in the cold dark matter cosmogony. This prediction has garnered little observational support, with non-detections commonplace and detections for only a relatively small number of galaxies which are much less luminous than expected. We investigate the coronal properties of a large sample of bright, disc-dominated galaxies extracted from the GIMIC suite of cosmological hydrodynamic simulations recently presented by Crain et al. Remarkably, the simulations reproduce the observed scalings of X-ray luminosity with K-band luminosity and star formation rate (SFR) and, when account is taken of the density structure of the halo, with disc rotation velocity as well. Most of the star formation in the simulated galaxies (which have realistic stellar mass fractions) is fuelled by gas cooling from a quasi-hydrostatic hot corona. However, these coronae are more diffuse, and of a lower luminosity, than predicted by the analytic models of White & Frenk because of a substantial increase in entropy at z∼ 1–3. Both the removal of low entropy gas by star formation and energy injection from supernovae contribute to this increase in entropy, but the latter is dominant for halo masses M200≲ 1012.5 M⊙. Only a small fraction of the mass of the hot gas is outflowing as a wind but, because of its high density and metallicity, it contributes disproportionally to the X-ray emission. The bulk of the X-ray emission, however, comes from the diffuse quasi-hydrostatic corona which supplies the fuel for ongoing star formation in discs today. Future deep X-ray observations with high spectral resolution (e.g. with NeXT/ASTRO-H or IXO) should be able to map the velocity structure of the hot gas and test this fundamental prediction of current galaxy formation theory.
PERSPECTIVE SERIES On diabetes : insulin resistance

Insulin resistance means different things to different people. As other Perspectives in this series make clear, insulin resistance can be seen as a molecular and genetic mystery involving defective insulin signaling and glucose transport into cells. To me, on the other hand, insulin resistance represents a major underlying abnormality driving cardiovascular disease, the major cause of morbidity and mortality in much of the world. Because most of the work on insulin resistance has focused on its role in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus, a brief review of the history of the link between cardiovascular disease and insulin resistance is in order. Margaret Albrink was probably the first investigator to identify a cluster of factors, including obesity and hypertriglyceridemia, that was associated with increased risk for coronary artery disease (CAD) (1). The groundbreaking development of the insulin radioimmunoassay by Berson and Yalow, and the subsequent observation that many diabetics were actually hyperinsulinemic, enabled Albrink and others, including Reaven and Farquhar and their colleagues (2), to begin to define the insulin resistance syndrome and its links to both hypertriglyceridemia and CAD. The next decades brought several prospective cohort studies in which hyperinsulinemia was often associated with CAD, at first in univariate and more recently in multivariate analyses. These efforts culminated recently in the demonstration by investigators in the Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Study (IRAS) of a link between a direct measure of insulin resistance itself and atherosclerosis (3). In addition, the 1970s brought a new understanding of protective roles of HDL (4). Together with the characterization of small dense LDLs in the 1980s, this advance led to the identification of a typical dyslipidemic pattern that is a central component of the insulin resistance syndrome. Another important addition to the complex was the observation by Welborn and colleagues in the mid-1960s that hypertension was commonly associated with hyperinsulinemia (5). Finally, the realization that individuals with insulin resistance both were hypercoagulable and had impaired fibrinolysis (6) added a pathologic basis for an increase in acute CAD events to the well accepted association of the insulin resistance syndrome with risk factors for atherosclerosis. As the components of the syndrome have increased, scientific interest and excitement, as well as the opportunities to investigate the links between insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease, have multiplied. In this Perspective I will attempt to provide an overview of what we do and do not know about the contribution of insulin resistance to the various components of the insulin resistance syndrome and to cardiovascular disease.
Nakajima & Yasufuku 374 with a higher risk of development of lung cancer or

Recent advances in bronchology have allowed bronchoscopists to evaluate the airway with advanced high-resolution imaging modalities. Centrally arising squamous cell carcinoma of the airway, especially in heavy smokers, is thought to develop through multiple stages from squamous metaplasia to dysplasia, followed by carcinoma in situ, progressing to invasive cancer. Early detection is the key to improved survival. It would be ideal to be able to detect and treat preinvasive bronchial lesions, defined as dysplasia and carcinoma in situ before progressing to invasive cancer.
SGLT 2 inhibitors and cardiovascular outcome studies in Type 2 diabetes : From efficacy to

Cardiovascular disease remains the main cause of morbidity and mortality in people with diabetes, and is also the largest contributor to healthcare costs in this population(1). There is robust evidence that comprehensive management of risk factors such as blood pressure, and dyslipidaemia can reduce the risk of macrovascular complications in people with Type 2 diabetes (2) although the benefits of glycaemic control on macrovascular outcomes have not been clearly established . However, despite advances in treatment, the hazard of worse cardiovascular outcomes associated with Type 2 diabetes persists (3).

Emotion, Emotion Regulation, and Psychopathology

Many psychiatric disorders are widely thought to involve problematic patterns of emotional reactivity and emotion regulation. Unfortunately, it has proven far easier to assert the centrality of “emotion dysregulation” than to rigorously document the ways in which individuals with various forms of psychopathology differ from healthy individuals in their patterns of emotional reactivity and emotion regulation. In the first section of this article, we define emotion and emotion regulation. In the second and third sections, we present a simple framework for examining emotion and emotion regulation in psychopathology. In the fourth section, we conclude by highlighting important challenges and opportunities in assessing and treating disorders that involve problematic patterns of emotion and emotion regulation.
Basipetal Gradient of Axillary Bud Inhibition Along a Rose (Rosa hybridaL.) Stem: Growth Potential of Primary Buds and their Two Most Basal Secondary Buds as Affected by Position and Age☆

Abstract In Rosa hybrida L. cv. Ruidriko ‘Vivaldi’®, the effect of position on growth and development potentials of axillary buds was investigated by single internode cuttings excised along the floral stem and its bearing shoot. The experiments were carried out in both glasshouses and in a phytotron. The study firstly concerned the development of the primary shoot from the onset of bud growth until anthesis. The primary shoot was then bent horizontally to promote the growth of the two most proximal secondary buds, the collateral buds, already differentiated inside the primary bud. They gave rise to basal shoots. In the basipetal direction, the axillary buds along the floral stem exhibited both an increase in the lag time before bud growth and a decrease in bud growth percentage, demonstrating the existence of a physiological basipetal gradient of inhibition intrinsic to the buds or due to short range correlations. The same basipetal gradient of inhibition was observed along the floral stem and its bearing shoot, demonstrating that the age of the bud was not a major factor in determining the rate of bud growth. After bending the primary shoot, the percentage of collateral bud growth was also affected by the cutting position. The more proximal the cutting, the lower the sprouting ability of collateral buds. The growth potential of these buds appeared to be already determined inside the main bud before cutting excision.
The use of concept mapping and vee heuristics in higher education to promote critical reflection and meaningful learning

Higher Education is currently undergoing relentless change worldwide in order to respond effectively to the aspirations of the 21st century. Consequently, prevalent literature in Higher Education calls for more emphasis on the students' learning process through increased metacognition and critical reflection. This paper starts off with the assumption that learning takes place through the integration of thinking, feeling and acting. As a result, this paper will present a model of teaching and learning in Higher Education through the integrated use of Vee Heuristics and Concept Mapping. This research will suggest that when using Concept Maps, Vee Heuristics along with an awareness of how students prefer to learn, the students will go through a metacognitive learning process which would eventually lead to critical reflection and meaningful learning. Using University students' work products, this study traces the effect of a learner's mental operations on the learner's use of Vee Heuristics and Concept Mapping as the learner embeds and retrieves new and scaffolded knowledge. The data collected reveals the powerful effect which this combination of learning tools yielded on student achievement and transformation.
Limiting measure and stationarity of solutions to stochastic evolution equations with Volterra noise

ABSTRACT Large-time behavior of solutions to stochastic evolution equations driven by two-sided regular cylindrical Volterra processes is studied. The solution is understood in the mild sense and takes values in a separable Hilbert space. Sufficient conditions for the existence of a limiting measure and strict stationarity of the solution process are found and an example for which these conditions are also necessary is provided. The results are further applied to the heat equation perturbed by the two-sided Rosenblatt process.
Population genetic structure of black seabass (Centropristis striata) on the eastern U. S. coast, with an analysis of mixing between stocks north and south of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina

Fishery managers have long recognized two distinct stocks of black seabass on the eastern U.S. seaboard, with Cape Hatteras recognized as the stock separation line. The northern stock migrates from Massachusetts, south and offshore, to deeper waters in the winter months, and then travels back to warmer inshore waters in the north again in the spring and summer (Musick and Mercer, 1977). Kendall and Mercer ((1978) stated that the southern stock did not appear to seasonally migrate, and Mercer (1978) and Shepherd (1991) considered the black seabass population from Cape Hatteras to Cape Canaveral to be a population distinct from the northern stock.
EFFECT OF MARKET ORIENTATION ON SMALL BUSINESS PERORMANCE IN SMALL TOWN IN MALAYSIA: AN EMPRICAL STUDY ON MALAYSIAN SMALL FIRMS

Most research on market orientation, and performance was related to big firms. In this study, based on the theoretical framework, a model was developed to investigate the effect of market orientation on business performance in small firms. To test the relationships among the variables, data from 53 small firms in the small town of Chunglun at Sintok, Kedah was used. The findings show that the three components of market orientation are related positive to business performance of small firms. The further analysis also confirmed that customer orientation and competitor orientation are strong predictors of small firm performance. The findings of this study confirm that market orientation behavior also applies to small firms.
Global existence and finite dimensional global attractor for a 3D double viscous MHD-α model

Abstract. We consider a magnetohydrodynamic-α model with kinematic viscosity and magnetic diffusivity for an incompressible fluid in a three-dimensional periodic box (torus). Similar models are useful to study the turbulent behavior of fluids in presence of a magnetic field because of the current impossibility to handle non-regularized systems neither analytically nor via numerical simulations. We prove the existence of a global solution and a global attractor. Moreover, we provide an upper bound for the Hausdorff and the fractal dimension of the attractor. This bound can be interpreted in terms of degrees of freedom of the system. In some sense, this result provides an intermediate bound between the number of degrees of freedom for the simplified Bardina model and the Navier–Stokes-α equation.

This paper presents a total of 11 known crustacean parasite species from 51 host species belonging to 7 families, with 17 genera reported from cultured and wild fishes in three faunal regions of Iran. Among them, one belonging to Branchiura order, namely Argulus foliaceus , was found on Capoeta capoeta in Makoo Reservoir as well as on Cyprinus carpio , Chalcalburnus sp. , Hypophthalmichthys molitrix and Mastacembelus mastacembelus in Zarivar Lake. The other 10 species belonging to Copepoda order include 1) Ergasilus sieboldi , found on the gills of 2) Barbus sharpeyi , B. luteus , Aspius vorax and Cyprinus carpio ; 3) E. peregrinus on Ctenopharyngodon idella and Leuciscus cephalus in Khandaqloo Reservoir; 4) Lamproglena compacta and 5) L. polchella on the gills of infected fish species inhabiting Tigris, Caspian and Oriental Regions of Iran. 6) Tracheliastes longicollis on the fins of Capoeta capoeta and Leuciscus cephalus ; 7) T. polycolpus on the fins of Capoeta trutta , C. capoeta and Leuciscus cephalus in water bodies situated in Azerbaijan Province (Caspian Region) and Kurdistan Province (Tigris Region), 8) Achtheres percarum on the skin and fins of Sander lucioperca and Perca fluviatilis in Anzali Lagoon and Sefid-rud River in North of Iran (Caspian Region); 9) Pseudotracheliastes stellatus on the skin of acipenserids in Caspian Sea and finally 10) the most economically significant parasite, Lernaea cyprinacea , which is commonly found on cultured cyprinids in ponds and natural water bodies. Furthermore, several unknown crustacean species belong to both orders identified to genus level, which need further study for a detailed description. Geographical distribution as well as host ranges of the mentioned parasites are presented and discussed.
Common Stationary and Non-Stationary Factors in the Euro Area Analyzed in a Large-Scale Factor Model

In this paper we rely on techniques recently developed by Bai and Ng (2004a) to estimate common euro-area stationary and non-stationary factors using a large-scale dynamic factor model. We find that euro-area economies share four non-stationary factors or trends and one stationary factor. By means of rotation techniques, we estimate a euro-area business cycle which is a fairly good match to EuroCOIN, the euro-area coincident business cycle indicator published by the CEPR. Fluctuations of common euro-area factors mainly reflect variations of German and French real economic activity as well as of producer prices and financial prices (long-term interest rates and/or real effective exchange rates) in various countries. As concerns the transmission channels, macroeconomic shocks seem to proliferate in the euro area more strongly through trade, exchange rates and long-term interest rates than through stock prices. Among the external driving forces, shocks to US economic activity seem to be more strongly linked to shocks to the euro-area factors than oil price shocks. We finally find evidence of mild overall convergence; results for individual countries are mixed.
Inverse problems for stochastic transport equations

Inverse problems for stochastic linear transport equations driven by a temporal or spatial white noise are discussed. We analyse stochastic linear transport equations which depend on an unknown potential and have either additive noise or multiplicative noise. We show that one can approximate the potential with arbitrary small error when the solution of the stochastic linear transport equation is observed over time at some fixed point in the state space.
