1 . 1 From selective to non-selective access in the bilingual lexicon

The way in which the bilingual’s two languages can co-exist and interact with each other is crucial for the study of language coactivation. This question has been tackled from the perspective of experimental psycholinguistics and that of language contact which can be brought together in the light of different, yet concomitant evidence related to multiple interactions between words from the two languages. Most of these interactions can be accounted for in terms of common and/or parallel morphological representations between the two languages. The two masked priming experiments using cross-script materials reported in this chapter corroborate and extend this hypothesis by showing that different ‘levels’ of morphological and/or etymological relatedness underlie different priming effects. The morphological priming pattern reflects an organisation of the lexicon based on ‘cross-language derivational families’, whereby morphologically complex L1 words automatically activate their base word in L2. Evidence that the opposite is not true suggests the existence of a looser link between L2 words and representations at the semantic-conceptual level, while still being compatible with evidence that translation primes induce significant effects in both L2-to-L1 and L1-to-L2 directions. Evidence from language contact supports the idea that the two languages do not behave in a strictly symmetric way. The more tenuous link between L2 vocabulary and a morphological/conceptual level is mirrored by the morphological integration of loan words into a matrix language, as a significant, preliminary step in the direction of a full conceptual integration. Further data from morphological integration in accordance with the cross-language priming data point to a view of the bilingual lexicon as a unified lexico-semantic architecture.
Unfolding-resistant Translocase Targeting: A NOVEL MECHANISM FOR OUTER MITOCHONDRIAL MEMBRANE LOCALIZATION EXEMPLIFIED BY THE B β 2 REGULATORY SUBUNIT OF PROTEIN PHOSPHATASE 2A*

Heterotrimeric serine/threonine protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) consists of scaffolding (A), catalytic (C), and variable (B, B’, and B”) subunits. Variable subunits dictate subcellular localization and substrate specificity of the PP2A holoenzyme. The B β regulatory subunit gene is mutated in spinocerebellar ataxia type 12, and one of its splice variants, B β 2, targets PP2A to mitochondria to promote apoptosis in PC12 cells. Here, we report that B β 2 is localized to the outer mitochondrial membrane by a novel mechanism, combining a cryptic mitochondrial import signal with a structural arrest domain. Scanning mutagenesis demonstrates that basic and hydrophobic residues mediate mitochondrial association and the proapoptotic activity of B β 2. When fused to green fluorescent protein, the N terminus of B β 2 acts as a cleavable mitochondrial import signal. Surprisingly, full-length B β 2 is not detectably cleaved and is retained at the outer mitochondrial membrane, even though it interacts with the TOM22 import receptor, as shown by luciferase complementation in intact cells. Mutations that open the C-terminal β -propeller of B β 2 facilitate mitochondrial import, indicating that this rigid fold acts as a stop-transfer domain by resisting the partial unfolding step prerequisite for matrix translocation. Because hybrids of prototypical import and β -propeller domains recapitulate this behavior, we predict the existence of other similarly localized proteins and a selection against highly stable protein folds in the mitochondrial matrix. This unfolding-resistant targeting to the mitochondrial translocase is necessary but not sufficient for the proapoptotic activity of B β 2, which also requires association with the rest of the PP2A holoenzyme.

TREATMENT OF HIGHLY POLLUTED

Three samples of cosmetic wastewater from the production of soaps and shampoos were treated by the following processes: coagulation with sedimentation (C/S), coagulation with dissolved air flotation (C/DAF), and the Fenton process (FP). The COD values of raw wastewater samples were 13 160, 13 580 and 9410 mg O2/dm. The anionic surfactants were 3000, 4500 and 4000 mg/dm, for samples 1, 2, and 3, respectively. All three processes were effective in highly polluted cosmetic wastewater treatment. The most effective process was coagulation. In the case of sample 1, application of FeCl3 at pH 6.0 resulted in 88.2% of COD removal and the application of aluminum based coagulants allowed for 80.1–85.3% COD removal. In the case of samples 2 and 3, the usage of Al 1019 and Al 3010 coagulants brought about a 91.6% and 82.6% decrease in COD values, respectively. C/DAF was found to be less effective than C/S. The best results with C/DAF were obtained using Al 3010 coagulant with wastewater recirculation the COD removal efficiency amounted to 82.3, 87.3 and 78.8, respectively. The lowest COD removal efficiency was observed for FP and it was equal to 64.0 and 72.7% for samples 2 and 3, respectively.
Quantum geometry from phase space reduction

In this work, we give an explicit isomorphism between the usual spin network basis and the direct quantization of the reduced phase space of tetrahedra. The main outcome is a formula that describes the space of SU(2) invariant states by an integral over coherent states satisfying the closure constraint exactly or, equivalently, as an integral over the space of classical tetrahedra. This provides an explicit realization of theorems by Guillemin–Sternberg and Hall that describe the commutation of quantization and reduction. In the final part of the paper, we use our result to express the Freidel–Krasnov spin foam model as an integral over classical tetrahedra, and the asymptotics of the vertex amplitude is determined.
Tropical complete intersection curves

A tropical complete intersection curve C ⊆ R n+1 is a transversal intersection of n smooth tropical hypersurfaces. We give a formula for the number of vertices of C given by the degrees of the tropical hypersurfaces. We also compute the genus of C (defined as the number of independent cycles of C) when C is smooth and connected.
Adaptive consistent unit root tests based on autoregressive threshold model

This paper proposes SupWald tests from a threshold autoregressive model computed with an adaptive set of thresholds. Simple examples of adaptive threshold sets are given. A second contribution of the paper is a general asymptotic null limit theory when the threshold variable is a level variable. We obtain a pivotal null limiting distribution under some simple conditions for bounded or asymptotically unbounded thresholds. Our general approach is flexible enough to allow a choice of the auxiliary threshold model or of the threshold set involved in the test specifically designed for nonlinear stationary alternatives relevant for macroeconomic and financial topics involving arbitrage in presence of transaction costs. A Monte-Carlo study and an application to the interest rates spread for French, German, NewZealander and US post-1980 monthly data illustrate the ability of the adaptive SupWald tests to reject unit-root when the ADF does not.

........Kamperidou: Chemical and Structural Characterization of Poplar and Black Pine..

In this study, poplar and black pine wood was exposed to short thermal treatments, aiming to improve some crucial properties. Using wet chemical analyses and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), the influence of these treatments on the chemical composition of the modified species was investigated, as well as on the wood structure, using scanning electron microscopy. With the increase of heat treatment intensity, a mass loss of both species was recorded, attributed to the moisture loss and degradation of volatile compounds, as well as thermally less stable components. In the first treatment stages, the extractives presented a decrease, whereas with the duration and temperature increase, new extractives were formed. Lignin increased its network through ramification, especially at 200 oC, while holocellulose was found lower in all modified wood categories of both species than in unmodified wood due to the intense decomposition of hemicelluloses. The findings of FT-IR analyses were in line with the chemical analysis results. The thermal modification process made wood materials more hydrophobic and dimensionally stable, providing protection against decomposing factors. At the same time, they were not intensively thermo-degraded, which increased their utilization perspectives and application range as solid wood of enhanced properties, or as wood particles/fibers participating as raw materials in wood-based composite products, wood-polymers composites etc., enhancing their materials compatibility, properties and performance.
Classification and pathology of ic neuroendocrine neoplasms

Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NENs) are composed of cells with a neuroendocrine phenotype. The old and the new WHO classifications distinguish between well-differentiated and poorly differentiated neoplasms. All well-differentiated neoplasms, regardless of whether they behave benignly or develop metastases, will be called neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), and graded G1 (Ki67 ! 2%) or G2 (Ki67 2–20%). All poorly differentiated neoplasms will be termed neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs) and graded G3 (Ki67 O20%). To stratify the GEP-NETs and GEP-NECs regarding their prognosis, they are now further classified according to TNM-stage systems that were recently proposed by the European Neuroendocrine Tumour Society (ENETS) and the AJCC/UICC. In the light of these criteria the pathology and biology of the various NETs and NECs of the gastrointestinal tract (including the oesophagus) and the pancreas are reviewed.

Comparison of Pethidine and Dexmedetomidine for the Control of Intraoperative Shivering Under Spinal Anesthesia

Background: Spinal anesthesia significantly impairs the thermoregulation system by inhibiting tonic vasoconstriction, which plays a significant role in temperature regulation. Various non-pharmacological and pharmacological methods are available for the control of shivering during anesthesia. The present study was done with an aim to compare the two drugs Pethidine and Dexmedetomidine for the control of intraoperative shivering under spinal anesthesia. Subjects and Methods: A prospective randomized study was carried out in the Department of Anaesthesiology, on 100 patients who developed intra-operative shivering following spinal anesthesia for numerous surgical procedures. When patients developed shivering of higher than mentioned grades, they were randomly assigned to one of the 2 study groups: Group D-Dexmedetomidine group receiving single intravenous bolus dose of 0.5mcg/kg over 5 min. Group P: Pethidine group patients receiving 0.5mg/kg Pethidine IV over 5 min. Patients were intently monitored for the failure of the drug, Recurrence of shivering and side effects like nausea, vomiting, bradycardia (< 50/min), hypotension (>20% of baseline), giddiness and sedation score were recorded. Results: We found the Pethidine group had 62.5% and Dexmedetomidine had 67.5% of grade 3 shivering. The grades of shivering were comparable between the two groups with no statistical difference. We found the dexmedetomidine group had a significant reduction in time required to control shivering and vanishing of shivering after drug. Conclusion: Both dexmedetomidine (0.5mcg/kg) and Pethidine (0.5mg/kg) are effective in treating patients with post-spinal anesthesia shivering but the time taken for control of shivering was shorter with Dexmedetomidine as compared to Pethidine.
Averaging over fast variables in the fluid limit for Markov chains: Application to the supermarket model with memory

We set out a general procedure which allows the approximation of certain Markov chains by the solutions of differential equations. The chains considered have some components which oscillate rapidly and randomly, while others are close to deterministic. The limiting dynamics are obtained by averaging the drift of the latter with respect to a local equilibrium distribution of the former. Some general estimates are proved under a uniform mixing condition on the fast variable which give explicit error probabilities for the fluid approximation. Mitzenmacher, Prabhakar and Shah [In Proc. 43rd Ann. Symp. Found. Comp. Sci. (2002) 799-808, IEEE] introduced a variant with memory of the "join the shortest queue" or "supermarket" model, and obtained a limit picture for the case of a stable system in which the number of queues and the total arrival rate are large. In this limit, the empirical distribution of queue sizes satisfies a differential equation, while the memory of the system oscillates rapidly and randomly. We illustrate our general fluid limit estimate by giving a proof of this limit picture.
Using an Instructional Fluency Approach to Teach Addition Skills in a Pupil Referral Unit: A Pilot Study

Pupil referral units (PRUs) in Wales accommodate children who present with a range of di culties that cannot be managed within a mainstream setting. Many children attending PRUs in Wales do not develop the numeracy skills that they need to support their learning across the curriculum. In an e ort to teach and assess addition skills, the authors assessed the e ects of using a combination of direct instruction (DI) and precision teaching (PT) in a PRU. Over six school weeks, we worked with ve children (aged 7 to 10 years) on a 1:1 basis through the Corrective Mathematics addition curriculum (Engelmann and Carnine, 2005). Following each lesson, the children completed an individualised uency assessment, which we tailored to their needs using PT methods. We collected baseline and followup data using the Test of Early Mathematics Ability (TEMA-3), the Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT-4) and the Corrective Mathematics placement test. We also interviewed the children postintervention to gain insight into their experience of the approach. The results provide evidence to support the use of an instructional uency approach in a PRU setting to help children develop early mathematics skills, particularly for children who engaged in the sessions regularly. Due to the small sample size, the results of this study have limited generalisability but may help shape future 04 Owen WJE 22/2.indd 67 29/07/2020 13:54 Wales Journal of Education 68 Kaydee Owen, Richard C.

Entiers al\'eatoires, ensembles de Sidon, densit\'e dans le groupe de Bohr et ensembles d'analyticit\'e

We study properties of a sequence $\Lambda$ obtained by a randomselection of integers $n$, where $n\in\Lambda$ with probability $\varpi_{n}$, independently of the other choices. We distinguish two cases : if $\limsup_{n\to\infty}n\varpi_{n}<\infty$, $\Lambda$ is a.s. a Sidon set, non-dense in the Bohr group ; if $\lim_{n\to\infty}n\varpi_{n}=\infty$, then $\Lambda$ is a.s. a set of analyticity and is dense in the Bohr group.
EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT AND WORK-RELATED OUTCOMES: THE CASE OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

E. Knezović, A. Đilović EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT AND WORK-RELATED OUTCOMES . 133-150 This study examines the specific work-related outcomes of employee engagement such as affective commitment, organizational citizenship behavior, and intention to quit in the context of Bosnia and Herzegovina. For this purpose, employee engagement was divided into job and organization engagement. We used the quantitative research instrument and the cross-sectional survey method for primary data collection. The final sample consisted of 682 usable responses. By using the hierarchical regression analysis, we found that both job and organization engagement have a positive and significant relationship with affective commitment and organizational citizenship behavior, while in the case of intentions to quit, only organization engagement was negatively related. The results show that companies can achieve several benefits by focusing on employee engagement.

The Catalog of Human Hair Keratins I. EXPRESSION OF THE NINE TYPE I MEMBERS IN THE HAIR FOLLICLE*

The human type I hair keratin subfamily comprises nine individual members, which can be subdivided into three groups. Group A (hHa1, hHa3-I, hHa3-II, hHa4) and B (hHa7, hHa8) each contains structurally related hair keratins, whereas group C members hHa2, hHa5, and hHa6 represent structurally rather unrelated hair keratins. Antibodies produced against these individual hair keratins, first analyzed for specificity by one- di-mensional Western blots of total hair keratins, were used to establish the two-dimensional catalog of the human type I hair keratin subfamily. The catalog comprises two different series of type I hair keratins: a strongly expressed, Coomassie-stainable series containing hair keratins hHa1, hHa3-I/II, hHa4, and hHa5, and a weakly expressed, immunodetectable series harboring hHa2, hHa6 hHa7, and hHa8. In situ hybridization and immunohistochemical expression studies on scalp follicles show that two hair keratins, hHa2 and hHa5, define the early stage of hair differentiation, i.e. hHa5 expression in hair matrix and hHa5/hHa2 coexpression in the early hair cuticle cells. Whereas cuticular differentiation proceeds without the expression of further type I hair keratins, matrix cells embark on the cortical pathway by sequentially expressing hHa1,

GOMES, B. L. Ethylene and auxin: new insights into the hormonal regulation of tomato fruit ripening. 2016. 83p. Tese (Doutorado) Faculdade de Ciências Farmacêuticas, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, 2016. Our knowledge of the factors mediating ethylene-dependent and -independent ripening of climacteric fruit remains limited. Besides the known importance of ethylene roles, auxin has also been emerged as crucial to regulating ripening. Furthermore, the crosstalk between ethylene and auxin in tomato fruit ripening still awaits clarification. ERFs (Ethylene Responsive Factors) are transcription factors belonging to a large family acting downstream on ethylene signaling that direclty regulate ripening-related metabolisms, but their specific roles are still lacking. We present here a comprehensive expression profiling of tomato ERFs in wild-type and tomato ripening-impaired tomato mutants (Nr, rin and nor) indicating that out of the 77 ERFs present in the tomato genome, 27 show enhanced expression at the onset of ripening, while 28 display a ripening-associated decrease in expression, suggesting that different ERFs may have contrasting roles in fruit ripening. Members of subclass E, ERF.E1, ERF.E2 and ERF.E4, show dramatic down-regulation in the ripening mutants suggesting their expression might be instrumental to fruit ripening. The study illustrates the high complexity of the regulatory network interconnecting RIN and ERFs and identifies subclass E members as the most active ERFs in ethyleneand RIN/NOR-dependent ripening. Additionally, with the aim to shed more light into ethylene and auxin interplay, hormonal treatments were applied to tomato fruits and several ripening aspects were then evaluated such as the volatile profile. Overall, results elicited that auxin delay the onset of ripening further showing epistatic effects over the influence of ethylene. Several ripening-related genes, including components of the ethylene signaling, were affected by auxin suggesting potential crosstalk points between the two hormones. Moreover, ethylene appears as potentially part of the auxin regulation through inducing its conjugation. The modulation of hormone levels in tomato fruit throughout ripening can be useful to help designing approaches that both improve fruit quality and extend shelf life.
AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF FELIX FAVORITE for the DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY

approved: June G. Pattullo The intensification of cyclonic winds in the Gulf of Alaska during . winter belies the relatively constant geostrophic circulation as being indicative of actual flow. In the absence of direct current measurements, effects of various meteorological phenomena have been eliminated from monthly mean sea level measurements over the decade 1950 to 1959, and the resulting height anomalies equated to monthly mean Sverdrup transports. A linear relationship is obtained, except during summer when it permits an estimate of the increase in recorded sea level due to runoff. The data suggest that during summer the geostrophic transport is a good indication of general flow, but that during winter the distribution of mass does not adjust to the Sverdrup transport, and the resulting barotrophic flow is about one and one-half times the geostrophic flow during this period. Mean seasonal Sverdrup transport indicates maximum recirculation in the Gulf of Alaska gyre during winter, a reduced but equal recirculation Redacted for Privacy during summer and fall, but none during spring. These results conflict with existing interpretations of flow in the Gulf of Alaska, and should form the basis for renewed oceanographic explorations in this region.
