Differences in Adipose Gene Expression Profiles between Male and Female Even Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) in Sakha (Yakutia)

Reindeer are native to harsh northern Eurasian environments which are characterized by long and cold winters, short summers, and limited pasture vegetation. Adipose tissues play a significant role in these animals by modulating energy metabolism, immunity, and reproduction. Here, we have investigated the transcriptome profiles of metacarpal, perirenal, and prescapular adipose tissues in Even reindeer and searched for genes that were differentially expressed in male and female individuals. A total of 15,551 genes were expressed, where the transcriptome profile of metacarpal adipose tissue was found to be distinct from that of perirenal and prescapular adipose tissues. Interestingly, 10 genes, including PRDM9, which is known to have an important role in adaptation and speciation in reindeer, were always upregulated in all three tissues of male reindeer.
Herschel deep far-infrared counts through Abell 2218 cluster-lens

Gravitational lensing by massive galaxy clusters allows study of the population of intrinsically faint infrared galaxies that lie below the sensitivity and confusion limits of current infrared and submillimeter telescopes. We present ultra-deep PACS 100 and 160 μm observations toward the cluster lens Abell 2218 to penetrate the Herschel confusion limit. We derive source counts down to a flux density of 1 mJy at 100 μm and 2 mJy at 160 μm, aided by strong gravitational lensing. At these levels, source densities are 20 and 10 beams/source in the two bands, approaching source density confusion at 160 μm. The slope of the counts below the turnover of the Euclidean-normalized differential curve is constrained in both bands and is consistent with most of the recent backwards evolutionary models. By integrating number counts over the flux range accessed by Abell 2218 lensing (0.94−35 mJy at 100 μ ma nd 1.47−35 mJy at 160 μm), we retrieve a cosmic infrared background surface brightness of ∼8.0 and ∼9.9 nW m −2 sr −1 , in the respective bands. These values correspond to 55 ± 24% and 77 ± 31% of DIRBE direct measurements. Combining Abell 2218 results with wider/shallower fields, these figures increase to 62 ± 25% and 88 ± 32% CIB total fractions, resolved at 100 and 160 μm, disregarding the high uncertainties of DIRBE absolute values.

Two Examples of Integrable $G$-Strands

A G-strand is a map g(t, x) : R×R → G for a Lie group G that follows from Hamilton’s principle for a certain class of G-invariant Lagrangians. The SO(3)-strand is the G-strand version of the rigid body equation and it may be regarded physically as a continuous spin chain. Here, SO(3)K -strand dynamics is derived as an Euler-Poincare system for a certain class of variations and recast as a Lie-Poisson Hamiltonian system for coadjoint flow. For a special Hamiltonian, the SO(3)K -strand for ellipsoidal rotations is mapped into a completely integrable generalization of the classical chiral model for the SO(3)-strand. Analogous results are obtained for the Sp(2)-strand. The Sp(2)-strand is the G-strand version of the Sp(2) Bloch-Iserles ordinary differential equation, whose solutions exhibit dynamical sorting. Numerical solutions show nonlinear interactions of coherent wave-like solutions in both cases. Department of Mathematics, Imperial College London.

Competencies That Japanese Collegiate Sports Coaches Require for Dual-Career Support for Student Athletes

The purpose of this study was to clarify coaches’ competencies (COM) regarding dual-career (DC) support for student athletes in Japan. The questionnaire survey was conducted at 31 universities with an online survey URL that was distributed to 300 collegiate athletic coaches. In total, there were 152 respondents (female, 19; male, 133; mean age, 43.15 ± 12.07 years; coaching experience, 12.83 ± 9.72 years). The online survey adopted a Japanese-translated version of the Dual-Career Competency Questionnaire (DCCQ), which has been translated into nine languages and is widely used in European counties. The scale consists of six factors and 33 items, each rated on a five-point scale of importance (IM) and possession (PO). The Japanese version of the DCCQ was validated through a confirmatory factor analysis, and the internal consistency of the items was confirmed by calculating the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. In addition, we examined differences between the IM and PO for DC support by t-tests and by calculating effect sizes. The validity and reliability of the Japanese version of the DCCQ were confirmed based on the goodness-of-fit index and Cronbach’s alpha coefficients, respectively. Our examination of the differences between IM and PO in DC support revealed that coaches perceived the importance of DC support but did not possess the necessary COM to offer DC support. That finding was similar to those of previous European studies. In particular, the Japanese coaches who participated in our online survey recognized the importance of COM in terms of “collaboration with various stakeholders and departments” for DC support but did not feel as though they held sufficient COM in that regard. In other words, the improvement of DC support requires the development of a coaching program that fosters COM to work with various stakeholders. This key insight provides a direction and specific focus for programs to improve coaches’ DC support for student athletes.
Glossopteridales: An intricate group of plants

The earliest representative of Glossopteridales is known by the leaves discovered from India and Australia (Brongniart 1822–28) under the genus Glossopteris as Glossopteris browniana var. australasica and Glossopteris browniana var. indica. Later discovery proved the presence of similar leaves in all the Gondwana continents, i.e. India, Australia, Antarctica, South America and Africa ranging from late Carboniferous to entire span of Permian to early Triassic. Such distribution pattern provides major evidence for the theory of continental drift. As a unified character, these tongue–shaped leaves show reticulate venation pattern and a midrib. Later, non reticulate and non midrib leaves were also considered as ally due to their close association with the leaves of Glossopteris and together they are assigned to Glossopteridales consisting of different genera, e.g. Gangamopteris, Rubidgea, Euryphyllum, Palaeovittaria, Maheshwariphyllum, Rhabdotaenia, Sagittophyllum, Pteronilssonia, Surangephyllum, Gondwanophyllites, Laceyphyllum, Belemnopteris, etc. Later, cuticular study, discovery of fertile structures in attachment with leaves increased the number of species. In addition, permineralized leaf fossils with anatomical features have also been described under new species of Glossopteris. Fertile structures of glossopterids are mainly discovered in attachment with leaves or in attachment with scale leaves or bracts. Leaf borne fertile structures are known by multiovulate ovule/ seed bearing organ with or without stalk, e.g. Ottokaria, Dictyopteridium, Scutum, Senotheca, Cistella, Plumsteadiostrobus, Jambadostrobu, Lanceolatus, Vanus, Pluma, Hirsutum, etc. Scales or bracts showing branched and unbranched cupulate organs are other mode of fertile structures, e.g. Lidgettonia, Partha, Denkania, Bifariala, Nogoa, Gladiopomum, Rusangea, Rigbya, Mooia, etc. Distinct seed bearing Arberia, Dolianitia–type of fructifications, Eretmonia, Glossotheca type of sporangia bearing scale leaf or bract, Arberiella–sporangial mass and a variety of dispersed seeds are also accredited to glossopterids. Ironically, leaves and fructifications have not yet been found in attachment with stem, however, fossil woods with araucariod pits, e.g. Dadoxylon/ Araucarioxylon found in alliance demonstrate their affiliation with glossopterids. Vertebraria–axes commonly observed in the sediments exemplify the rooting behaviour of the glossopterids. Combination of different types of leaves consisting of more than 130 species under closely allied genera, thirty-five to forty types of fructifications grouped under multiovulate and branched types together with seed–bearing structures, varied type of morphological, cuticular and structural features amply demonstrate that Glossopteridales had sundry approach for development, endurance and evolution and in all likeness represent different taxonomic characteristics.
Dynamic Behaviors of Pneumatic Cylinder (Friction and Vibration Characteristics)

This paper presents the dynamic behaviors of a pneumatic cylinder. It is known that the friction force acting on the contacting surfaces between the piston and cylinder wall of a pneumatic cylinder shows a high nonlinearity especially at low velocities. Therefore, accurate positioning of a pneumatic cylinder is not easy. Many experimental and numerical studies can be found in the relevant literature on the positioning of the pneumatic actuator including the problem of the nonlinear friction. Khayati et al. studied the high-friction pneumatic actuator positioning technique based on a LuGre friction closed-loop observer dynamics. They reported that the performances were validated experimentally on a pneumatic plant operating under a high level of friction, and that the robust LuGre model-based friction compensator was experimentally compared to other friction compensation and position control schemes. However, the nonlinear friction characteristics of the pneumatic actuator have not completely been elucidated, and vibration characteristics have not been examined. This paper shows friction and vibration behaviors of a pneumatic cylinder and the relation between the friction characteristics and the vibration characteristics of the pneumatic cylinder. Moreover, the effect of the dwell time on the break-away force is also examined.
Comments on turbulence theory by Qian and by Edwards and McComb

We reexamine Liouville equation based turbulence theories proposed by Qian {[}Phys. Fluids \textbf{26}, 2098 (1983){]} and Edwards and McComb {[}J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. \textbf{2}, 157 (1969){]}, which are compatible with Kolmogorov spectrum. These theories obtained identical equation for spectral density $q(k)$ and different results for damping coefficient. Qian proposed variational approach and Edwards and McComb proposed maximal entropy principle to obtain equation for the damping coefficient. We show that assumptions used in these theories to obtain damping coefficient correspond to unphysical conditions.
The Interplay between Aquaporin-1 and the Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1α in a Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Lung Injury Model in Human Pulmonary Microvascular Endothelial Cells

Aquaporin-1 (AQP1), a water channel, and the hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF1A) are implicated in acute lung injury responses, modulating among others pulmonary vascular leakage. We hypothesized that the AQP1 and HIF1A systems interact, affecting mRNA, protein levels and function of AQP1 in human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (HPMECs) exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Moreover, the role of AQP1 in apoptosis and wound healing progression was examined. Both AQP1 mRNA and protein expression levels were higher in HPMECs exposed to LPS compared to untreated HPMECs. However, in the LPS-exposed HIF1A-silenced cells, the mRNA and protein expression levels of AQP1 remained unaltered. In the permeability experiments, a statistically significant volume increase was observed at the 360 s time-point in the LPS-exposed HPMECs, while LPS-exposed HIF1A-silenced HPMECs did not exhibit cell swelling, implying a dysfunctional AQP1. AQP1 did not seem to affect cell apoptosis yet could interfere with endothelial migration and/or proliferation. Based on our results, it seems that HIF1A silencing negatively affects AQP1 mRNA and protein expression, as well as AQP1 function, in the setting of lung injury.
Performance of planar perovskite solar cells based on formamidinium cations: Simulation and fabrication

The best efficiency ever recorded for state‐of‐the‐art perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is about 25% where the formamidinium (FA)‐dominated perovskites were adopted. But the optimum content of FA perovskite solar cells based on Cs0.05(FAxMA[1−x])0.95Pb(I0.83Br0.17)3 films has yet to materialize the high‐power conversion efficiency. Herein, high quality and uniform perovskite films constituting Cs‐MA‐FA (Cesium; Methylammonium) mixed cation in the A‐site of the ABX3 structure with different FA content are synthesized by a typical spin coating based antisolvent technique. Because of the limitations of perovskite and solar cell materials, the influences of various FAs on the device performance are analyzed through device simulation. From the synthesized films, the band gap equation of Cs0.05(FAxMA[1−x])0.95Pb(I0.83Br0.17)3 has been estimated, ranging from 2.175 eV to 1.5 eV for various FA/(FA + MA) ratios respectively. Ultimately, the highest conversion efficiency of the planar solar cell based on graded perovskite with various FA content was obtained for the case where the positive Eg grading consists of the Eg of 2.175 eV at the front (FA/[FA + MA] of 0) and the Eg of 1.5 eV at the back (FA/[FA + MA] of 1). The Cs0.05(FA0.87MA0.13)0.95Pb(I0.83Br0.17)3 cell achieved an AM1.5G conversion efficiency of around 20.98%, showing improved VOC, JSC, and FF among the planar perovskite solar cells with different x.
COLONIZATION OF BEMISIA SPECIES COMPLEX ON CERTAIN HOST PLANTS IN DAKAHLIA GOVENORATE, EGYPT.

The life stages of Bemisia species complex were surveyed on thirty plant hosts belonging to thirteen botanical families in Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt, to estimate the degree of pest colonization on each host during 1997 & 1998. Among these families are Solanaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Curciferae, Cucurbitaceae, Leguminaceae, Malvaceae, which were the most preferable for the reproductive process of Bemisia spp. Meanwhile, other plant families showed a little colonization degrees of its life stages. However, cabbage, squash, cotton, tomato, caster bean, cauliflower, labannet el-homara weed and potato harbored the highest populations of the insect. The other hosts established moderate or small colonies of Bemisia spp. in both years. The effect of growing seasons on the degree of Bemisia spp. colonization was discussed. Summer and perennial plant-hosts were apparently favored by Bemisia spp. for reproduction during the warmer weather. Meanwhile, winter host plants were as significant overwintering sites. Generally, the degrees of the insect population densities differed according to plant species and leaf age of the same plant. The correlation coefficient parameters between Bemisia spp. life stages were highly significant and positive.
EVALUTATION OF ACTIVE EDIBLE COATING CONTAINING ESSENTIAL OIL EMULSIONS TO EXTEND SHELFLIFE OF ORANGE WASHINGTON NAVEL ORANGE FRUITS

Background : Contamination of the skin of fruits and vegetables is responsible for increases the possibilities of the spoilage. Edible coatings with antimicrobial agents can extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. Methodology: Edible coating agents (pectin and chitosan) individual or mixed with emulsions of lemon grass and thyme oils were prepared at different concentrations, and were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity, and used for coating orange fruits (Washington Navel Orange), which stored at 10°C and 95% relative humidity for 90 days. Changes in weight loss, firmness, Decay rate, respiration rate, pH, Total Soluble Solids (T.S.S.), titratable acidity, chlorophyll and carotenoids, ascorbic Acid (AsA) and microbial load were determined. Results: Coating solutions containing emulsion enhanced chemical and microbial properties of fruits. Weight loss was decreases compared to uncoated samples (25 vs 3%), Control treatment fruits without coating showed higher decay ratereaching 15% after 90 days of storage. Coating the fruits with pectin or chitosan and their emulsion with lemon grass oil reduced the decay rate to the level of 3% to 6%. Firmness value was improved in the treated samples. Orange fruits coated with the chitosan or chitosan /emulsion recorded the lowest respiration rate (10.3 to 10.44 mgCO 2 /kg. h) at the end of cold storage. Coating the fruit with pectin or chitosan emulsion reduced the losses of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) to about 34%. Conclusion: chitosan-pectin / emulsion coating increased the shelf life and enhanced different properties of orange fruits.
Principal Management Model in Quality Assurance at Vocational High School

The purpose of this study was to determine the principal management model in quality assurance at SMK IT Khoiru Ummah which is a relatively new school but has been able to compete in terms of academic and non-academic achievements. The success achieved is not only at the district level but also at the provincial to national and international levels. This is not only raising the image of education but more importantly being able to optimally develop the talents and interests of students, potential personnel to other potentials that exist in schools. Besides, it is expected to be a reference for several other schools to be used as models. The key to this success is because one of them is the ability of the principal to implement a quality management model that is committed and with high integrity, namely by making, providing report cards for every personnel involved in managing the school. The report cards that are distributed and evaluated every semester have measurable and operational indicators so that they are easy to assess, score and interpret. The indicators in the report cards are socialized at the beginning of each school year after evaluating the overall management phase. This report card becomes feedback for the principal and the foundation to take policies for improvement.
Volatile Constituents and Anti-Osteoporotic Activity of the n-Hexane Extract From Homalomena gigantea Rhizome

This study analyzed the chemical composition and anti-osteoporosis activity of the n-hexane extract of Homalomena gigantea rhizome. Sixty compounds, representing 92.0% of the extract, were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Linalool (15.3%), oplopanone (9.8%), (Ε)-α-atlantone (5.6%), khusinol acetate (5.4%), bullatantriol (4.3%), and β-sitosterol (3.8%) were the main constituents. The anti-osteoporotic activity of the n-hexane extract was determined by measuring alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, collagen content, and the mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells. At concentrations of 4.0 and 20.0 µg/mL, the n-hexane extract increased ALP activity by 8.2% and 23.7%, and increased collagen secretion by MC3T3-E1 cells by 114.9% and 112.4%, respectively. At 4 µg/mL, the extract significantly promoted the mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells by as much as 133.2% compared to the negative control. These results suggested that H. gigantea rhizome contains a natural anti-osteoporotic compound.
A Novel Ellipsoidal Semisupervised Extreme Learning Machine Algorithm and Its Application in Wind Turbine Blade Icing Fault Detection

The conventional semisupervised extreme learning machine (SS-ELM) algorithm can provide a solution to the lack of labeled samples in wind turbine blade icing fault detection, but its performance is limited by the irrationality of the spherical nearest neighbor graph (SNNG) calculation strategy. To solve this problem, a novel ellipsoidal semisupervised extreme learning machine (ESS-ELM) algorithm is proposed in this article and applied to wind turbine blade icing fault detection. In this study, we creatively propose a novel ellipsoidal nearest neighbor graph (ENNG) calculation strategy that considers the distribution information of the labeled samples to construct the ESS-ELM algorithm. Different from the conventional SNNG, the ENNG can adaptively assign corresponding calculation weights to each feature in the data space according to the Fisher criterion, which allows it to better match the smoothness assumption of the manifold regularization learning framework. In addition, the two adjustable parameters of the enhancement factor and the degradation factor are ingeniously introduced into the ENNG, which further ensure the applicability and security of the proposed ESS-ELM. The superiority of the ESS-ELM algorithm is verified by extensive benchmark industrial fault datasets and the real-world icing dataset of two wind turbines. It is demonstrated that the proposed ESS-ELM algorithm achieves better performance than the ELM, its existing variants, and some state-of-the-art wind turbine blade icing detection methods.
Weak-wave turbulence theory for rotationally constrained slow inertial waves

Weak-wave turbulence theory for rapidly rotating flows is developed in this paper. The governing equations are an asymptotically reduced set of equations that are derived from the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. These equations are applicable for rapidly rotating flow regimes and are best suited to describe anisotropic dynamics of rotating flows. The independent variables of these equations inherently reside in a helical wave basis that is the most suitable basis for inertial waves. A coupled system of equations for the two global invariants: \textit{energy} and \textit{helicity}, is derived by extending a simpler symmetrical system to the more general non-symmetrical helical case. This approach of deriving the kinetic equations for helicity follows naturally by exploiting the symmetries in the system and is different from the derivations presented in earlier work of \citet{Galtier03, Galtier14} that uses multiple correlation functions to account for the asymmetry due to helicity. Stationary solutions, including Kolmogorov solutions, for the flow invariants are obtained as a scaling law of the anisotropic wave numbers. The scaling law solutions compare affirmatively with results from recent experimental and simulation data. The theory developed in this paper pertains to the wave dynamics supported by an asymptotically reduced set of hydrodynamic equations and therefore encompasses a different dynamical regime compared to the weak turbulence theory presented in the work of \citet{Galtier03, Galtier14}.
