Glutamate‐stimulated neuropeptide Y mRNA expression in the rat dentate gyrus: A prominent role of metabotropic glutamate receptors

The influence of intrahippocampal injections of glutamate receptor agonists on neuropeptide Y (NPY) mRNA expression was investigated in granule cells and interneurons of the rat dentate gyrus. One day after local injection of non‐neurodegenerative doses (20 and 70 nmol) of the metabotropic glutamate receptor agonist (1S,3R)‐1‐aminocyclopentane‐1,3‐dicarboxylate [(1S,3R)ACPD], NPY mRNA levels were more than doubled in ipsilateral granule cells and interneurons. Doses of 200 and 400 nmol caused up to 15.9‐ and 4.6‐fold mRNA increases in granule cells and interneurons, respectively. The group I metabotropic glutamate receptor agonist (RS)‐3,5‐dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG; 50 nmol), but not the group III receptor agonist L(+)‐2‐amino‐4‐phosphonobutyrate (L‐AP4; 20 and 200 nmol) exerted a similar action. The general metabotropic glutamate receptor antagonist (+)‐α‐methyl‐4‐carboxyphenylglycine (MCPG; 200 nmol), the group I receptor antagonist (S)‐4‐carboxyphenylglycine (4‐CPG; 200 nmol) and the N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist MK‐801 (1 mg/kg; i.p.) partially blocked the (1S,3R)‐1‐aminocyclopentane‐1,3‐dicarboxylate‐induced increase in NPY mRNA in granule cells, but not in interneurons. (S)‐4‐carboxyphenylglycine (200 nmol) by itself increased NPY mRNA levels in ipsilateral interneurons threefold, indicating the activation of phospholipase D coupled receptors. Non‐neurodegenerative doses of (RS)‐α‐amino‐3‐hydroxy‐5‐methyl‐4‐isoxazolepropionate (AMPA, 0.3 nmol) caused modest increases in NPY mRNA levels in ipsilateral interneurons, whereas neurodegenerative doses (1–10 nmol) induced markedly increased NPY mRNA levels in granule cells (up to 11‐fold) and interneurons (up to threefold). It is suggested that activation of metabotropic glutamate receptors stimulates NPY mRNA expression in granule cells and interneurons in the rat dentate gyrus. Whereas in granule cells NPY mRNA upregulation is preferentially mediated by group I metabotropic glutamate receptors, it may involve ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors in interneurons.

A multicompartmental model to describe marker excretion patterns in ruminant faeces

1. A multicornpartmental model, which assumes first-order kinetics, is proposed to describe digesta flow along the gastrointestinal tract of ruminants. 2. Solution of the model yields a multiplicative equation, containing a single-exponential term and a double-exponential term, for describing faecal outflow rate. 3. The logarithmic transformation of the equation was fitted to eighty-two excretion curves obtained after the administration of marker into the rumen of cattle and sheep, and compared with other published models. 4. It was found to be superior to the other models in that it fitted all the data sets successfully.
Postural Control in Elderly Persons with Osteoporosis: Efficacy of an Intervention Program to Improve Balance and Muscle Strength: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Burke TN, França FJR, de Meneses SRF, Cardoso VI, Marques AP: Postural control in elderly persons with osteoporosis: Efficacy of an intervention program to improve balance and muscle strength: A randomized controlled trial. Objective:To assess the efficacy of an exercise program aiming to improve balance and muscular strength, for postural control and muscular strength of women with osteoporosis. Design:Sample consisted of 33 women with osteoporosis, randomized into one of two groups: intervention group, in which exercises for balance and improvement of muscular strength of the inferior members were performed for 8 wks (n = 17, age 72.8 ± 3.6 yrs); control group, which was women not practicing exercises (n = 16, age 74.4 ± 3.7 yrs). At baseline and after 8 wks of treatment, postural control was assessed using a force plate (Balance Master, Neurocom), and muscular strength during ankle dorsiflexion, knee extension, and flexion was assessed by dynamometry. Results:Adherence to the program was 82%. When compared with the control group, individuals in the intervention group significantly improved the center of pressure velocity (P = 0.02) in the modified clinical test of sensory interaction for balance test, center of pressure velocity (P < 0.01), and directional control (P < 0.01) in limits of stability test, isometric force during ankle dorsiflexion (P = 0.01), knee extension (P < 0.01), and knee flexion (P < 0.01). Conclusions:Balance and strength exercises are effective in improving postural control and lower-limb strength in elderly women with osteoporosis.
GOVERNANCE OF INTER-ORGANISATIONAL RELATIONSHIP THROUGH CANONICAL CORRELATION ANALYSIS APPROACH: THE CASE BETWEEN MOBILE NETWORK OPERATORS AND CONTENT PROVIDERS.

This paper develops and investigates a model of boundary decisions of inter-organisational relationship governance mechanisms in the mobile communication industry. The measurement variables of the framework were obtained from Williamson’s transaction cost analysis and modelled through canonical correlation analysis, which is estimated with empirical survey data from the mobile network operators and content providers in the telecommunication industry in Ghana. Consistent with the logic of transaction cost analysis framework, the study found support for significance relationship of behavioural uncertainty and frequency of transaction to have positive influence on the choice of authority-base governance mechanisms. However, empirical findings of environmental uncertainty and technological uncertainty that negatively influence the choice of authority base governance mechanisms do not corroborate with the transaction cost framework. We found significant and positive relation of environmental and technological uncertainties with contract-base governance mechanisms. Surprisingly, empirical findings never found support for asset specificity, which Williamson described as the ‘locomotive’ dimension of transaction cost analysis framework. Asset specificity was positively related to authority-base governance but was proofed not to be relevant in this relationship because it was insignificant.
Aprender de la pérdida: una guía para afrontar el duelo

Aunque el dolor, la soledad y los trastornos que acompanan al duelo no tienen nada de “anormal”, hay algunos sintomas que deberian hacer que acudieramos a un profesional o a alguna persona de nuestro entorno que pueda ayudarnos: medicos, guias espirituales, responsables de grupos de apoyo o profesionales de la salud mental. Aunque cada persona debe tomar esta decision libremente, debe plantearse seriamente hablar con alguien sobre su duelo si presenta alguno de los siguientes sintomas:
FlexiChaP: A reconfigurable ASIP for convolutional, turbo, and LDPC code decoding

Future mobile and wireless communication networks require flexible modem architectures to provide seamless services between different network standards. In this paper we focus on the outer modem which has to support various advanced channel coding techniques like convolutional codes, turbo codes, and low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. We present an application-specific instruction-set processor (ASIP) which supports convolutional codes, binary/duo-binary turbo codes, and LDPC codes. Special emphasis is put on the support of LDPC codes. The ASIP consists of a special pipeline which is completely optimized for channel decoding. Logic synthesis yields an overall area of 0.62 mm2 for this ASIP in a 65 nm low power technology. Payload throughputs of, e.g., up to 257 Mbps are possible at 400 MHz for the WiMAX and WiFi LDPC codes, outperforming existing ASIP solutions for LDPC decoding by an order of magnitude.
Review of the current state and main sources of dioxins around the world

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) are a group of dangerous compounds, emitted mostly from anthropogenic sources, that have negative effects on human health. Therefore, it is interesting to analyze the emission patterns of dioxins proceeding from different sources around the world, to observe the actual trend of the transmission of dioxins and furans into the atmosphere.For that reason, the main objective of the present document is to provide a general assessment about the dioxin problematic, analyzing the main parameters that influence the ambient concentration of dioxins worldwide, and describing the most characteristic features of the fingerprint from different sources, while making emphasis in the importance that non-industrial sources are gaining over the last years in front of the decreasing tendency of industrial sources. The description of the most important abatement technologies for dioxins is also included in this review. Implications: Given the negative effects of dioxins in human health, it is important to depict and locate the main sources of these dangerous compounds. Emissions proceeding from industrial facilities have decreased over the last years; however, other zones where nonindustrial sources used to be relevant contributors do not show the same decreasing tendency because it is more difficult to control this type of emissions. For that reason, future studies should focus on measuring and regulating this highly uncontrolled source of dioxins.
Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of enoxaparin in multiple trauma patients.

BACKGROUND Enoxaparin is the only low molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) with documented efficacy for the prevention of venous thromboemobolism (VTE) following trauma, and it is currently considered the treatment of choice. Recent reports have suggested that the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics of LMWH products may be altered in critically ill patients. METHODS Two cohorts of critically ill multiple trauma patients were enrolled in this study: A (nonedematous) and B (edematous, defined as the presence of peripheral edema and an increase in body weight of > or =10 kg). All patients received at least four doses of enoxaparin 30 mg subcutaneously every 12 hours before the study dose. Blood samples were collected before and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours following a morning dose. Plasma anti-Xa and antithrombin (AT) activities were determined using chromogenic assays. A compartmental PK analysis model was defined for the data. PK parameters for the two cohorts were compared using a Mann-Whitney Rank Sum test. RESULTS The area under the curve (AUC)0-12 hour, maximal plasma anti-activated Factor Xa (anti-Xa) activity (Amax), and AT activity were significantly lower in the edematous trauma patients (p < 0.05). The AUC0-12 hour for plasma anti-Xa activity was highly variable in both study cohorts. Seven of the 10 edematous patients had barely quantifiable anti-Xa results. Activity levels were too low to reliably estimate the PK parameters for most patients in cohort B. CONCLUSION The standard dose of enoxaparin recommended for the prevention of VTE following multiple trauma provides unreliable and highly variable anti-Xa activity in critically ill trauma patients, and is strongly affected by the presence of significant peripheral edema.
Store artification and retail performance

ABSTRACT A recent retail strategy, store artification consists of introducing artistic stimuli into store atmospherics. Such linkage to art and creativity promises to create a highly stimulating shopping environment for customers while adding value to store offering, thus maximising retail performance. To assess the impact of store artification on retail performance, we conducted a field experiment testing the ‘presence vs. absence of artworks’ store artification modality in retail stores in Paris, France. Results indicate store artification increases store perceived differentiation, perceived value of the offering, customer satisfaction, and enhances store and product image. However, store artification does not affect store commercial performance, raising the issue of its profitability for the retailer and adequate implementation modalities. Further, this research suggests the relevance of the store artification strategy regarding store marketing performance for non-luxury retailers and as a tactical, store-level tool. Managerial and retailing implications are discussed.
Endemic nephritis and streptococcal infections in South Trinidad. Surveillance studies during the first year following a major epidemic.

Surveillance of streptococcal infections has been continued in South Trinidad following a major epidemic of acute glomerulonephritis. Observations made during the first postepidemic year (July 1966 to July 1967) are described in the present report. Skin lesions, streptococcal infections, and serum antibody titers are compared in 148 patients with nephritis and 101 clinically well school children as well as in 882 members of patients' families and 667 members of families without nephritis. Skin lesions were as common among the "well" school children as they had been during the epidemic while streptococci were isolated even more frequently from these lesions. However, prevalent types of streptococci differed from those found in 1965. Antistreptolysin O titers were less often increased in patients while antihyaluronidase titers continued to be elevated in all groups. Anti-group A carbohydrate titers were increased in patients.
Flesinoxan Dose‐Dependently Reduces Extracellular 5‐Hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT) in Rat Median Raphe and Dorsal Hippocampus Through Activation of 5‐HT1A Receptors

Abstract: The effects of systemic administration of the serotonin (5‐hydroxytryptamine) 5‐HT1A receptor agonists flesinoxan and 8‐hydroxy‐2‐(di‐n‐propylamino)tetralin on extracellular 5‐HT were measured using microdialysis probes in both median raphe nucleus and dorsal hippocampus. Both 5‐HT1A agonists dose‐dependently decreased dialysate 5‐HT levels from both brain regions. The effects of flesinoxan in the median raphe (0.3 mg/kg) and dorsal hippocampus (1.0 mg/kg) could be blocked by the 5‐HT1A receptor antagonist N‐[2‐[4‐(2‐methoxyphenyl)‐1‐piperazinyl]ethyl]‐N‐(2‐pyridyl)cyclohexane carboxamide trihydrochloride (WAY 100,635) at a dose of 0.05 mg/kg s.c. The antagonist itself had no effect at this dosage. Local perfusion of flesinoxan for 30 min through the dialysis probe into the median raphe region at concentrations of 20, 100, and 1,000 nM resulted in a significant decrease in dialysate 5‐HT content from both regions. The effect of 100 nM flesinoxan could be blocked by coperfusion of 1,000 nM WAY 100,635. The data indicate that flesinoxan is a potent 5‐HT1A receptor agonist and also support the notion that somatodendritic 5‐HT1A autoreceptors regulate both terminal and somatodendritic 5‐HT release.
Customer Satisfaction In Conquas and Qlassic Certified Housing Projects

Construction activities in Malaysia, as in many developing countries are growing tremendously which generate towards the nation Gross Domestic income. With the growing numbers of developments specifically build to cater for the growing demand for the residential, commercial houses, specific quality standards has to be developed in order to regulate the standard quality that the contractors will need to deliver. Construction Quality Assessment by Building Construction Authority (BCA Singapore) and Quality Assessment in Construction (QLASSIC) by CIDB Malaysia being developed to set certain benchmarking standard for the building quality. A lot of occurrences reported in the news where the purchasers of the houses were not satisfied with the quality level for the houses being delivered. The objective of this study is to relate the CONQUAS/QLASSIC to customer satisfaction of the residential housing. The methodology adopted questionnaire and individual purchaser response was unit of analysis. In summary, the different between QLASSIC- based assessment and CONQUAS- based assessment in regards to customer satisfaction, was significant which stated for the satisfaction for the CONQUAS is higher than the QLASSIC projects. Hopefully, this research added value to academic research in understanding the benefit of implementing CONQUAS/QLASSIC standards towards increasing the market value of the property market.
Synchronization of the Delayed Vicsek Model

This technical note studies the well-known Vicsek model with bounded time-varying delays. We consider the case that the communication delays appear in both position and heading transmissions, which is more realistic in practice. We derive delay-dependent conditions, imposed only on the initial state, to guarantee synchronization of the delayed linear and nonlinear Vicsek models. It is further seen from our simulations that the Vicsek model is indeed sensitive to communication delays in the sense that a large delay can destroy the synchronization behavior.
THE ENGAGEMENT OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN FACEBOOK: THE CASE OF COLLEGE STUDENTS IN THAILAND

Online engagement refers to an active relationship with the brand by website or other computer mediated environments. Furthermore, the growing popularity of social media in Thailand has drawn the great attention for consumers. This study explores the success factors for using social media in terms of quality issues. The DeLone and McLean information systems success model is used as a theoretical model to investigate how the different quality dimensions affect the social network users’ satisfaction, behavioral intention, and social media engagement. In this study, data have been collected from 277 college students by survey method. The results revealed that information quality and system quality are crucial factors to determine user satisfaction and behavioral intention which directly affect the online engagement. The findings are important for businesses to implement Facebook as their social media’s tools.
Generalized Voice-Leading Spaces

Western musicians traditionally classify pitch sequences by disregarding the effects of five musical transformations: octave shift, permutation, transposition, inversion, and cardinality change. We model this process mathematically, showing that it produces 32 equivalence relations on chords, 243 equivalence relations on chord sequences, and 32 families of geometrical quotient spaces, in which both chords and chord sequences are represented. This model reveals connections between music-theoretical concepts, yields new analytical tools, unifies existing geometrical representations, and suggests a way to understand similarity between chord types.
Management Innovation and Organizational Performance: The Mediating Effect of Performance Management

Management innovations (MIs) are widely adopted, but their influences on organizational performance are little researched in public settings. Positing that the MI-performance relationship is complex and is conditional over other characteristics of the organization, we examine the influence of MI on organizational performance both directly and indirectly through performance management (PM). PM is an important organizational process characteristic arising from public management reform and in itself influences performance. We test our hypotheses using structural equation models with data from three sources in English local governments. The findings indicate that the impact of MI on performance is not direct; it is mediated by PM. We also find that PM positively affects organizational performance. In conclusion, we discuss the implications of these findings for research and
Quantitation of chondroitin-sulfates, disaccharides and hyaluronan in normal, early and advanced osteoarthritic sheep temporomandibular joints.

OBJECTIVE To determine the relationship between synovial fluid, chondroitin sulfate disaccharide and hyaluronic acid to differing degrees of experimental temporomandibular joint (TMJ) osteoarthritis (OA). DESIGN Twenty-four merino sheep were divided into three groups and had different TMJ surgical procedures to produce OA. Group I; control (six sheep), Group II; disc perforation (nine sheep) and Group III; disc perforation and articular damage (nine sheep). Synovial fluid was collected initially and at sacrifice at 3 months. Chondroitin 4-sulfate, chondroitin 6-sulfate and hyaluronic acid were measured and correlated to the OA histologic score. RESULTS The chondroitin-sulfate levels were significantly increased (Group I to Group II P< 0.001; Group I to Group III P< 0.001), the hyaluronic acid levels decreased (Group I to Group II P< 0.01; Group I to Group III P< 0.01) with the increasing OA score. CONCLUSION Chondroitin-sulfate and hyaluronic acid show a correlation with surgically created TMJ osteoarthritis in sheep model.
