Background. According to dual-route models of reading, there are two pathways with which words can be read: an orthographic-lexical pathway used to read familiar regular words and exception (EXC) words, and a grapheme-to-phoneme-conversion (GPC)-sublexical pathway used to read unfamiliar regular words, pseudohomophones (PHs), and nonwords. A recent debate in the reading literature has centered on whether individuals access lexical and semantic representations of letter strings similarly depending on which reading pathway is used. This has been explored via the Stroop paradigm (Stroop, 1935/1992), in which participants name the font colours of words while ignoring what the words say (i.e., reading without intention). We extend previous research by measuring an event-related potential (ERP), the N400, a brain waveform that has been suggested to be involved in the processing of semantic information. Method. The present study explored lexical-semantic access while participants read without intention, using four different types of stimuli that forced readers to use the orthographic-lexical or GPC-sublexical pathways. The experiment examined twenty-four neurologically normal individuals. The amplitude and latency of the N400 were measured using electroencephalography (EEG), and response time and error rate were also measured behaviourally. Results. In the behavioural data, evidence was found of a significant Stroop effect whereby readers were faster to identify the colour of congruent letter strings compared to incongruent letter strings. In the ERP data, the N400 was found as hypothesized. However, contrary to
Artificial Intelligence Reframing Thinking Machines Within the History of Media and Communication

: Beginning with a critical exploration of the canonical histories of AI, this chapter stresses how the history of communication and media research may contribute to existing historiographies of AI. Four key aspects of the long-standing relationship between communication, media, and AI are discussed: the cross-history of communication theory (especially cybernetics) and AI, the early development of AI and human-computer interaction, the relevance of media and science fiction narratives in AI research and imaginaries, and the role of games in shaping interaction with AI software as communication between humans and machines. Relying on an historical and critical discussion of these four aspects, we claim that reconsidering the history of AI does not only contribute to the historiography of the field but adds more ground for rethinking and discussing the theoretical foundations of communication and media studies at large.
Cell Cycle and Biochemical Effects of PD 0183812 A POTENT INHIBITOR OF THE CYCLIN D-DEPENDENT KINASES CDK4 AND CDK6*

Progression through the G1 phase of the cell cycle requires phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma gene product (pRb) by the cyclin D-dependent kinases CDK4 and CDK6, whose activity can specifically be blocked by the CDK inhibitor p16. Misregulation of the pRb/ cyclin D/p16 pathway is one of the most common events in human cancer and has lead to the suggestion that inhibition of cyclin D-dependent kinase activity may have therapeutic value as an anticancer treatment. Through screening of a chemical library, we initially identified the [2,3-d]pyridopyrimidines as inhibitors of CDK4. Chemical modification resulted in the identification of PD 0183812 as a potent and highly selective inhibitor of both CDK4 and CDK6 kinase activity, which is competitive with ATP. Flow cytometry experiments showed that of the cell lines tested, only those expressing pRb demonstrated a G1 arrest when treated with PD 0183812. This arrest correlated in terms of incubation time and potency with a loss of pRb phosphorylation and a block in proliferation, which was reversible. These results suggest a potential use of this chemical class of compounds as therapeutic agents in the treatment of tumors with functional pRb, possessing cell cycle aberrations in other members of the pRb/cyclin D/p16 pathway.

Phlebotomine sandﬂies (Diptera: Psychodidae) collected in Mukusu, Machakos District, Kenya and their nocturnal ﬂight activity

This is the ﬁrst report on the nocturnal ﬂight activity of the phlebotomine sandﬂies in the ﬁeld by trap collection in Mukusu, Masinga, the kala-azar (visceral leishmaniasis in humans) area in Kenya. A total of 514 sandﬂies were collected with three different types of traps (sticky traps, CDC light traps and a goat-baited trap), and seven species of two genera ( Sergentomyia and Phlebotomus ) were identiﬁed. The number of Sergentomyia bedfordi Newstead individuals captured was the largest among these seven species. This suggests that S. bedfordi is the most common among the seven species in Mukusu. The result of the sticky trap collection suggests that the wild sandﬂies are nocturnally active, with the highest ﬂight activity level soon after sunset, at least for S. bedfordi . The proportion of females collected was extremely high both in the sticky and light trap collections. It is suggested that this is due to site tenacious-ness or weaker dispersal urge of males. Phlebotomus martini Parrot, S. bedfordi and S. schwetzi Adler, Theodor and Parrot were collected in the goat-baited trap. Examination of the physiological conditions of a total of 495 females collected showed that almost all females were unfed and nulliparous. This suggests that younger females show stronger nocturnal ﬂight activity.
Crust and Uppermost Mantle Velocity Structure beneath the East Anatolian Fault Zone from Joint Inversion of P-Receiver Functions and Rayleigh Wave Group Velocities

The East Anatolian Fault Zone (EAFZ) is an active plate boundary where an intense earthquake activity has occurred from past to present. This activity is highly related to the geodynamic structure of the region. Because of the northward motion of Arabian plate and southward motion of the Eurasian plate, the Anatolian plate has attempted to escape westward with anticlockwise rotation. This tectonic movement cause the development of important tectonic structures. In relation to these active plate motions, the S-wave velocity structure of the EAFZ intersecting the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) in the northeast and the Dead Sea Fault Zone (DSFZ) in the southwest is very important in interpretation the tectonic structure of the region. In this study, it was applied on the joint inversion technique of P-wave receiver functions and Rayleigh wave group velocities by using the data collected from eight broadband stations along the EAFZ. The P-receiver functions were obtained by using approximately eighty teleseismic events seperately for each station, recorded by the three-component broadband seismometers. On the other hand, for the Rayleigh wave group velocity dispersion curves, twenty-one local earthquakes which have focal depth less than 50 km and bigger than moment magnitude Mw=5.0 were used. The results obtained from these two techniques for each station was jointly inverted to determine the 1-D S-wave velocity structure of crust and uppermost mantle. S-wave velocity models along the EAFZ indicate the presence of the low-velocity layers in the upper crust, within the approximately depths of 4-12 km. However, the Conrad discontinuity along the seismic stations was around a depth of ~22 km. Furthermore, the crust-mantle boundary along the EAFZ is about ~44 km depth. Consequently, this study yields the crustal and uppermost mantle S-wave velocity structure compatible with the tectonics of the studied region.
The Taphonomy of the Final Middle Stone Age Fauna from Sibudu Cave, South Africa

This study applies a taphonomic analysis to the final Middle Stone Age faunal assemblage from Sibudu Cave, South Africa, by assessing bone surface modifications, breakage patterns and skeletal element abundances. Cut marks, percussion marks, severe fragmentation and the high frequency of burned bone combine to demonstrate that human behaviour was the principal agent in the assemblage’s formation. These results are consistent with previous research on earlier occupations of Sibudu during the Middle Stone Age. Moreover, this assemblage is proposed to reflect regular site maintenance and cleaning. This conclusion is consistent with previous research that demonstrates systematic site maintenance during the Middle Stone Age at Sibudu and emphasises this behaviour as being a consistent activity for Middle Stone Age foragers.

This study attempts to identify differences in mechanisms responsible for heavy rainfall occurring over geographically different regions, focusing on dynamical and thermodynamical aspects of the heavy rainfall, in both Korea and the central US. To this end, model simulations and climatology of the summertime synoptic-scale features are analyzed. Modeling studies with different precipitation physics revealed that the removal of the convective instability by the cumulus parameterization scheme is an essential process for heavy rainfall event over the US, whereas it plays an insignificant role in reproducing heavy rainfall over Korea. From the comparison of climatological characteristics of dynamic and thermodynamical features, it is evident that summertime climatology over Korea is characterized by stronger baroclinicity. Climatologically, the Korean peninsula is characterized as thermodynamically neutral in contrast to large convective available potential energy (CAPE) over the US.
A survey of 30 Swedish stormwater ponds - evaluation of pond design, maintenance needs and implications for practice

A survey of 30 Swedish ponds revealed that about half of the ponds was not designed according to up-to-date recommendations. 5 of 30 ponds were not accessible at all and further 4 ponds not accessible for machinery. This is a threat to the long term function of these ponds since maintenance is prevented by design. A majority if the ponds did further lack a forebay; and 11of 25 ponds showed a poor hydraulic efficiency. When inspecting the ponds on site, several minor issues were detected which, however, could be repaired easily by the municipalities. All ponds retained sediment. The metal concentrations in this sediment were relatively low, maybe due to the relatively little amount of fines retained. Similarly to other field studies which evaluate the function of SCMs in field, this study shows that neglect, under-maintenance and insufficient design is an important issue for a relatively high number of SCMs. Regulators should thus include factors of safety in SCM design, assess SCM function conservatively and require regular inspection. Stormwater asset managers should be present at the final inspection and acceptance of each construction project which includes stormwater facilities.
COMPARISON OF ON-LINE AND OFF-LINE FRIED PARAMETER ESTIMATION METHODS

We address the problem of high-accuracy estimation of the Fried parameter r0 by comparing two approaches based on estimation of statistical properties of intensity-based wavefront measurements with parameter-fitting to the theoretically predicted values. In the first approach, the phase of the aberration-degraded field is restored from the measurements to obtain the statistical estimate for the structure function. Due to the iterative nature of the most phase retrieval methods, this approach requires significant computational time and thus cannot provide results in real time. In the second approach, the structure function of the sub-aperture wavefront slopes is directly calculated and related to the turbulence parameters in real time. We describe the equations used to obtain the estimate of the Fried parameter by both methods and check their accuracy with numerical simulations.
Pomerisch oder Portugiesisch sPrache?1 communicAtive comPrehension

This is a study carried out with Pomeranian children diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) living in the city of Santa Maria de Jetibá, in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil, known as the most Pomeranian city in Brazil, where a large part of the population presents the characteristic of simultaneous bilingualism – Portuguese-Pomeranian, which has caused some challenges in the educational context. Therefore, the objective of this research was to describe behaviors that are communication indicators, based on structured interactions in Pomeranian and Portuguese Language, enabling the identification of differences in the interactions observed in L1 Portuguese Language and L2 Pomeranian Language. To reach the proposed goals, three male children were selected, two 9 year olds and one 10 year old, Pomeranian-Portuguese bilinguals, diagnosed with ASD at least a year before this research and accompanied by health professionals and inclusive education. This research adopts a descriptive methodology, of multiple case study type, whose data analysis method adopted was of a qualitative character, in order to comprehend the variable subjects involved in the process of communication and interaction of each case. The procedure of data collection included the presentation of Continued Storyboards), that had as the purpose to suit as visual stimulus for the child to elaborate a story. The results indicate that in the interactions performed in the Pomeranian language, the smiles, gestures, attention sharing and demonstrations of feelings were more frequent when compared to the interactions performed in the Portuguese language, which indicates that the child presents more non-verbal behavior in interactions performed in his mother tongue. Therefore, this data points to that mother tongue interactions (Pomeranian) may act in the fortification of Attention Shared abilities, a central competence for social interactions to happen.
Effect of maternal nutrition on fetal development and offspring growth in beef cattle

Health, growth efficiency and carcass quality are major considerations in beef production. The foundation for this is thought to be linked to fetal development. Maternal nutrition during pregnancy is one factor that can influence fetal development and offspring growth. However, its specific effects on postnatal growth of castrated calves (steers) raised for meat are not well understood. This review considers nutritional requirements of pregnant cows and summarizes the effect of maternal nutritional restriction throughout gestation on calf growth. It also evaluates the different developmental stage at which nutritional restriction will have the greatest impact. It is found that even though early gestation is a critical period for the formation of the placenta and the initial organ development, the fetus has the ability to compensate for developmental restrictions resulting from maternal malnutrition during this period. Meanwhile, during mid-tolate gestation maternal nutritional restriction has the greatest impact on offspring performance. Maternal malnutrition during this key period can reduce birth weight, which is strongly correlated to the lifetime performance of steers in terms of health and growth efficiency. Proper nutritional management of cows is essential throughout gestation, but additional attention should be given to the mid-to-late gestational period to ensure calves are born at an optimal birth weight. Further, it is suggested that maternal nutrition does not appear to have a consistent effect on carcass quality, instead, external factors near the time of slaughter may be the major determinants.

Chapman Digital Commons Chapman University Digital Commons Exploring in Silence: Hearing and Deaf Infants Explore Objects Exploring in Silence: Hearing and Deaf Infants Explore Objects Differently Before Cochlear Implantation Differently Before Cochlear Implantation

Infant development has rarely been informed by the behavior of infants with sensory differences despite increasing recognition that infant behavior itself creates sensory learning opportunities. The purpose of this study of object exploration was to compare the behavior of hearing and deaf infants, with and without cochlear implants, in order to identify the effects of profound sensorineural hearing loss on infant exploration before cochlear implantation, the behavioral effects of access to auditory feedback after cochlear implantation, and the sensory motivation for exploration behaviors performed by hearing infants as well. The results showed that 9-month-old deaf infants explored objects as often as hearing infants but they used systematically different approaches and less variation before compared to after cochlear implantation. Potential associations between these early experiences and later learning are discussed in the context of embodied developmental theory, comparative studies, and research with adults. The data call for increased recognition of the active sensorimotor nature of infant learning and future research that investigates differences in sensorimotor experience as potential mechanisms in later learning and sequential memory development. study has shown that infants with profound sensorineural hearing loss explore objects differently than hearing infants before, but not after cochlear implantation. In new ways, the results demonstrate the influence of sensory feedback on object exploration and the effects of limited feedback from the auditory modality on variation specifically. The results extend evidence of decreased variation in object exploration under conditions of briefly limited access to the visual modality (Gibson & Walker, 1984) to more enduring limitations in access to the auditory modality. Despite the fact that, in most respects, Post-CI exploration patterns in this study appeared to match hearing peers’, the young 17-month-old Post-CI infants had at that time only a few months of experience with the timing and rhythm of the auditory consequences of their actions, whereas their hearing peers had nearly 18 months of auditory experience. There is much still to be done to understand the potential effects of these early differences in auditory experience on later learning and memory.

Eukaryotic cells have various types of cyclin-dependent protein kinase (Cdk). Cdk activity requires binding of an activating subunit called cyclin. Cyclin was discovered as a protein oscillatory during cell cycle; however, subsequent work has revealed that some cyclin maintains a constant level throughout the cell cycle. Therefore, the term cyclin now has a broader meaning: cyclin as a structurally related family of proteins which bind and activate Cdk. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, five Cdks are known: Cdc28, Srb10, Ctk1, Kin28, and Pho85. The cyclin partners for Srb10, Ctk1, and Kin28 are Srb11, Ctk2, and Ccl1, respectively. In contrast, Cdc28 has nine partner cyclins (Cln1, Cln2, Cln3, Clb1, Clb2, Clb3, Clb4, Clb5, and Clb6) and Pho85 has 10 partner cyclins (see below). By using these Cdks, cells perform cell cycle regulation and transcriptional regulation. Structure and function of cyclin-dependent Pho85 kinase of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Typing of Mycobacterium bovis isolates from cattle using MIRU-VNTR analysis

Bovine tuberculosis, as a significant threat to both animal and human health, is a common global zoonotic disease. The emergence of molecular epidemiology has made it possible to gain a better understanding of the dynamics of disease transmission, and consequently, to come up with more effective control methods. The present study seeks to identify Mycobacterium bovis isolates in our region at a genotype level. To this end, the molecular epidemiological characteristics of Mycobacterium bovis strains isolated using classical methods and identified using molecular methods from the tissues and organs of cattle with suspected tuberculosis, obtained from slaughterhouses in the Konya province, or from those sent to Konya Veterinary Control Institute, were determined through genotyping. In the analysis of a total of 70 Mycobacterium bovis isolates, carried out using the MIRU-VNTR method, it was found that the repeat numbers for MIRU2, MIRU4, MIRU20, MIRU23, MIRU24, MIRU27, and MIRU39 loci did not vary between strains, while the repeat numbers for MIRU10, MIRU16, MIRU26, MIRU31, and MIRU40 loci varied between strains and had a high discriminatory power (0.25≤h). It was further observed that 29 subgroups between 1-14 isolates formed. The movement of animals in our region, which occurs for several reasons, is considered to cause Mycobacterium bovis strains to vary between herds, and the fact that the cattle from which the isolates were sourced for our study came from different herds was considered to cause a variation in the discriminatory power in the MIRU loci.
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae DPM 1 Gene Encoding Dolichol-Phosphate-Mannose Synthase Is Able To Complement a Glycosylation-Defective Mammalian Cell Line

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae DPMI gene product, dolichol-phosphate-mannose (Dol-P-Man) synthase, is involved in the coupled processes of synthesis and membrane translocation of Dol-P-Man. Dol-P-Man is the lipid-linked sugar donor of the last four mannose residues that are added to the core oligosaccharide transferred to protein during N-linked glycosylation in the endoplasmic reticulum. We present evidence that the S. cerevisiae gene DPM1, when stably transfected into a mutant Chinese hamster ovary cell line, B4-2-1, is able to correct the glycosylation defect of the cells. Evidence for complementation includes (i) fluorescenceactivated cell sorter analysis of differential lectin binding to cell surface glycoproteins, (ii) restoration of Dol-P-Man synthase enzymatic activity in crude cell lysates, (iii) isolation and high-performance liquid chromatography fractionation of the lipid-linked oligosaccharides synthesized in the transfected and control cell lines, and (iv) the restoration of endoglycosidase H sensitivity to the oligosaccharides transferred to a specific glycoprotein synthesized in the DPMI CHO transfectants. Indirect immunofluorescence with a primary antibody directed against the DPMJ protein shows a reticular staining pattern of protein localization in transfected hamster and monkey cell lines.
