Contribution of CD95 to the activation of innateimmune response

Myeloid cell recruitment plays a pivotal role in innate immune response. It comprises a cascade of sequential cellular processes including slow rolling, activation and firm adhesion, and transendothelial cell migration. Apart from the well-known apoptotic function, CD95 serves as an inflammatory mediator by inducing production of cytokines and chemokines in a variety of cell types and triggering myeloid cell transmigration to inflammatory sites via Syk-PI3K-MMP9 signaling pathway. Utilizing an ex vivo autoperfused mouse flow chamber assay, we show here that CD95 ligand (CD95L) induces neutrophil slow rolling. Engagement of CD95 with CD95 ligand in myeloid cells activates the signaling pathway of Syk-BTK-PLC-γ2, which is essential for selectin-induced integrin activation in neutrophil slow rolling. Furthermore, activation of Rap1, which serves as a direct mediator for integrin activation, by CD95 signaling in neutrophils suggests the involvement of integrin activation in CD95-induced slow rolling. In line with this hypothesis, integrin activation upon CD95L treatment was detected by performing active integrin reporter antibodies binding assay and soluble ICAM1 binding assay. In addition to activating integrin, CD95 recruits integrin and forms microclusters upon CD95L stimulation. Our results indicate that CD95 signaling activates integrin in mediating neutrophils slow rolling. We also found the involvement of endothelia cells and Ly6Chi monocytes - the classical inflammatory monocytes- in CD95-mediated innate response. Inducible deletion of CD95L in endothelial cells (CD95Lf/f;Ve-CadherinERT2/4cre) impaired neutrophil recruitment in a thioglycollate-induced peritonitis model. Unlike TNF-α, deletion of CD95 in endothelial cells (CD95f/f;Ve-CadherinERT2/4cre) had no impact on the expression levels of adhesion molecules and neutrophil recruitment. Moreover, CD95 selectively induced the mobilization and recruitment of inflammatory monocytes in a CCL2-dependent manner. In this study we show for the first time that CD95 signaling mediates neutrophil slow rolling via activation of integrin. Endothelial cells participate in this process by presenting CD95L. CD95 is also involved in the recruitment of inflammatory monocytes. Taken together with our previous findings, our studies identify a CD95 chemotactic axis pathway for innate immune cell recruitment.
Development of a foraging model framework to reliably estimate daily food consumption by young fishes

We developed a foraging model for young fishes that incorporates handling and digestion rate to estimate daily food consumption. Feeding trials were used to quantify functional feeding response, satiation, and gut evacuation rate. Once parameterized, the foraging model was then applied to evaluate effects of prey type, prey density, water temperature, and fish size on daily feeding rate by age-0 (19–70 mm) pallid sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus albus). Prey consumption was positively related to prey density (for fish >30 mm) and water temperature, but negatively related to prey size and the presence of sand substrate. Model evaluation results revealed good agreement between observed estimates of daily consumption and those predicted by the model (r2 = 0.95). Model simulations showed that fish feeding on Chironomidae or Ephemeroptera larvae were able to gain mass, whereas fish feeding solely on zooplankton lost mass under most conditions. By accounting for satiation and digestive processes in addition to handling.
Glial fibrillary acidic protein, CD34, Ki-67, and p53 immunohistochemistry expression study to estimate the concordance between the morphology and the awarded grades of the brain gliomas

Background: The 2007 WHO grading system of gliomas recognizes four prognostic grades of the latter. Based exclusively on morphological patterns, this classification remains unsatisfactory with rates of diagnostic conflicts between pathologists ranging from 20% to 50%, particularly between Grades II and III. Misestimating the grade implies impertinent care decisions. We evaluated the concordance between grades and morphological characteristics of our series. Methods: Our study is a retrospective covering 3 years and wherein the biopsies of 32 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded brain gliomas were explored. The histopathological diagnosis had been revised, and all cases were stained by immunohistochemical (IHC) technique with glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), Ki-67, p53, and CD34 tumor markers. Comparisons were made between the grades and the IHC results and between the latter and the morphological characteristics of the studied gliomas. We used Kolmogorov–Smirnov test for normal distribution, Chi-square test of Pearson and Fisher test for qualitative variables, Mann–Whitney U-test, and Kruskal–Wallis test for continuous variables. The significance is retained for P< 0.05. Results: GFAP is expressed in all of the 32 studied tumors. Our markers are more expressive in high-grade gliomas (GFAP [P = 0.149], Ki-67 [P = 0.001], p53 [P = 0.012], and CD34 [P = 0,004]). Labeling index increases with the cellular density (Ki-67 [P = 0.001], p53 [P = 0.031]) and with the mitotic activity (Ki-67 [P = 0.001], p53 [P = 0.056]). CD34 is more expressive in the presence of endothelial-capillary proliferation (P = 0.02), of palisading necrosis (P = 0.015), and of nonpalisading necrosis (P = 0.076). Ki-67 is more specific and more sensitive than p53 (P < 0.001). The value of ideal expression of Ki-67 proposed for our sample is 8.5% (P < 0.001). It allows 93.7% of specificity and 75% of sensibility and separates the low grade (I, II) of the high grade (III, IV). Conclusion: The results prove the concordance of the established grades and gliomas morphology of our series.
Global marine fisheries discards: A synthesis of reconstructed data

As part of the global marine fisheries catch reconstruction project conducted by the Sea Around Us over the last decade, estimates were derived for discards in all major fisheries in the world. The reconstruction process derives conservative but non-zero time-series estimates for every fisheries component known to exist, and relies on a wide variety of data and information sources and on conservative assumptions to ensure comprehensive and complete time-series coverage. Globally, estimated discards increased from under 5 million t/year (t = 1,000 kg) in the early 1950s to a peak of 18.8 million t in 1989, and gradually declined thereafter to levels of the late 1950s of less than 10 million t/year. Thus, estimated discards represented between 10% and 20% of total reconstructed catches (reported landings + unreported landings + unreported discards) per year up to the year 2000, after which estimated discards accounted for slightly less than 10% of total annual catches. Most discards were generated by industrial (i.e. large-scale) fisheries. Discarding occurred predominantly in northern Atlantic waters in the earlier decades (1950s–1980s), after which discarding off the West Coast of Africa dominated. More recently, fleets operating in Northwest Pacific and Western Central Pacific waters generated the most discards. In most areas, discards consist essentially of marketable taxa, suggesting a combination of poor fishing practices and poor management procedures is largely responsible for the waste discarding represents. This is important in an era of increasing food security and human nutritional health concerns, especially in developing countries.
Qualitative properties of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum, 1792) from aquaculture facility in Bitola region (Macedonia)

The main goal of this research was to determine the qualitative properties of the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum, 1792) from aquaculture facility – salmonid fishpond Strezhevo which is situated in Bitola region (Republic of Macedonia). The qualitative properties of the rainbow trout are established by determination of the chemical and the fatty acid composition of the fish meat, the energy value of the meat and the microbiological analysis for the total number of microorganisms on fish skin and presence of Salmonella sp. and Listeria monocytogenes. The main purpose of the research produced additional analyzes that determine the physical chemical properties and also a microbiological analysis of the water in which the rainbow trout resides, the chemical composition of feed used for feeding of the rainbow trout, the condition factor (CF) and the feed conversion. The results obtained during the examination of the chemical composition of the rainbow trout meat from the fishpond Strezhevo determined the mean value of 74.533% water, 20.600% protein, 3.366% fat and 1.38% ash. The energy value of the meat was 484.635 kJ/100 g. Considering the results of the fatty acid composition of the rainbow trout from the fishpond Strezhevo, it can be concluded that the content of the saturated fatty acids (SFA) is 20.303%, the monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) is 52.359% and the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) is 27.268%. In terms of the amount of n-6 fatty acids, it is 20.180%, while the amount of n-3 is 7.088%.
A Taxonomic Monograph of Equisetum Subgenus Equisetum

The genus Equisetum has long attracted the attention of botanists because it is the sole extant representative of a subdivision (or by some authors considered a division) of the vascular plants. Morphologists and paleobotanists in particular have been interested in it as a key element in trying to understand the evolution of vascular plants, and to interpret fossils of the Equisetophytina (Sphenopsida). This genus has also attracted the attention of plant chemists, because of its ability to take up and deposit silica. Other botanists, doing surveys of various aspects of the plant kingdom, have studied Equisetum as representative of one major group of plants.
Safety Issues Referred to Induced Sheath Voltages in High-Voltage Power Cables—Case Study

Load currents and short-circuit currents in high-voltage power cable lines are sources of the induced voltages in the power cables’ concentric metallic sheaths. When power cables operate with single-point bonding, which is the simplest bonding arrangement, these induced voltages may introduce an electric shock hazard or may lead to damage of the cables’ outer non-metallic sheaths at the unearthed end of the power cable line. To avoid these aforementioned hazards, both-ends bonding of metallic sheaths is implemented but, unfortunately, it leads to increased power losses in the power cable line, due to the currents circulating through the sheaths. A remedy for the circulating currents is cross bonding—the most advanced bonding solution. Each solution has advantages and disadvantages. In practice, the decision referred to its selection should be preceded by a wide analysis. This paper presents a case study of the induced sheath voltages in a specific 110 kV power cable line. This power cable line is a specific one, due to the relatively low level of transferred power, much lower than the one resulting from the current-carrying capacity of the cables. In such a line, the induced voltages in normal operating conditions are on a very low level. Thus, no electric shock hazard exists and for this reason, the simplest arrangement—single-point bonding—was initially recommended at the project stage. However, a more advanced computer-based investigation has shown that in the case of the short-circuit conditions, induced voltages for this arrangement are at an unacceptably high level and risk of the outer non-metallic sheaths damage occurs. Moreover, the induced voltages during short circuits are unacceptable in some sections of the cable line even for both-ends bonding and cross bonding. The computer simulations enable to propose a simple practical solution for limiting these voltages. Recommended configurations of this power cable line—from the point of view of the induced sheath voltages and power losses—are indicated.

However, e-recruitment has no linkage with employee productivity because in country like Pakistan, the concept of recruitment is often based on references, sources. In addition, Implications, limitations and future recommendations were also canvassed at the end of paper.
Morpho-physiological and Biochemical Characterization of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Genotypes under Ammonical and Nitrate form of Nitrogen

Nitrogen (N) is one of the most critical inputs that define crop productivity and yield under field conditions and must be supplemented to meet the food production demands of an everincreasing. Furthermore, the statistics reveals that the doubling of agricultural food production worldwide over the past 4 decades has been associated with a 7-fold increase in the use of nitrogen fertilizers. The current average nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in the rice field is approximately 33%, poorest among cereals and a substantial proportion of Nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in the rice field is approximately 33%, poorest among cereals and a substantial proportion of the remaining 67% is lost into the environment, reducing economic efficiency of applied N. This calls for immediate development of comprehensive approach to optimize N management. Moreover, plant-useable N is consumed as nitrate (NO3 ) from aerobic soils and as ammonium (NH4 + ) from flooded wetland, anaerobic soils. Therefore, the form and amount of N available to the rice can be improved by harnessing the innate efficiency of genotypes to utilize the available N, grow well and yield better. Considering, the above fact the present study was under taken for evaluation of 32 lines of F14 generation of recombinant inbred lines from the cross of Danteswari/Dagaddeshi rice genotypes for yield and nitrogen related traits. Under NH4 +
The Coaching Dance Applied

Through the application of a culturally sensitive coaching model, in a Sino-foreign education partnership, this chapter explores a non-directive coaching model and its positive impact on knowledge exchange and innovation. Whilst acknowledging the call from some quarters for the use of a directive approach to coaching, in mainland China, this chapter explores the positive relationship between the non-directive approach and socialisation of knowledge amongst teachers. The chapter also sheds light on the potential positive impact of the GROW model to support the ‘Coaching Dance' and facilitate movement towards a more non-directive approach to enhance knowledge exchange. It is also important of further research into both the GROW model and the development of a coaching approach built upon the foundation of Confucian culture.

Fish Consumption Behaviour and Perception of Food Security of Low-Income Households in Urban Areas of Ghana

This paper assesses fish consumption behaviour and perception of fish food security of low-income households using three season survey data from 839 interviews in Ghana. The study profiles the types of fish consumed and employs a modified Cobb–Douglas function to examine the determinants of household expenditure on fish consumption, whilst adopting a 1–5 Likert scale to analyze the perception of fish food security. The results confirm that poor households prefer cheaper and small pelagic fish. The mean expenditure on fish consumption per week is estimated to be GHS 31.15 (Euro 4.94 ≅ 0.16). Additionally, it is demonstrated that marital status, religion, occupation, proximity to local market, and city of residence have a positive and significant influence, whilst level of income, seasonality of fish, and the interaction of religion and seasonality of fish demonstrate a negative and significant influence on fish expenditure. Finally, the paper reveals that the majority of households have the perception that fish is readily available and can be obtained throughout the year in good quality. However, households have varied opinions on accessibility of fish. The paper recommends that the government should support and enhance the value chains of small pelagic fish species since they are preferred by poor households.
Effects of fall-planted cereal cover-crop termination time on glyphosate-resistant horseweed (Conyza canadensis) suppression

Abstract Integrated strategies for management of glyphosate-resistant (GR) horseweed are needed to reduce reliance on herbicides. Planting a cover crop after corn or soybean harvest in the Upper Midwest may reduce horseweed establishment and growth. Experiments were conducted in Michigan to determine if cereal rye and winter wheat, seeded at 67 or 135 kg ha-1, and terminated with glyphosate at 1.27 kg ae ha-1 1 wk before planting (early termination) or 1 wk after soybean planting (planting green) would suppress establishment and growth of GR horseweed. Cover-crop biomass was 212% to 272% higher when termination was delayed by planting green compared with early termination. At the time of termination, cover crops reduced GR horseweed biomass 41% to 89% compared with no cover. Planting green increased the C:N ratio of cover-crop residue, which improved residue persistence and GR horseweed suppression at the time of POST herbicide application, approximately 5 wk after planting. Planting green reduced GR horseweed biomass 46% to 93% compared with no cover at the time of POST herbicide application; early termination provided less consistent suppression. Cover crops alone did not suppress GR horseweed through soybean harvest. Soybean yield was 30% to 108% greater when planting green compared with early termination at 2 site-years. Cereal rye and winter wheat, seeded at 67 or 135 kg ha-1, provided early-season GR horseweed suppression. Results from this research indicate that the practice of planting green may improve GR horseweed suppression through the time of POST herbicide application.
