Effects of Bni 5 Binding on Septin Filament Organization oth

Septins are a protein family found in all eukaryotes (except higher plants) that have roles in membrane remodeling and formation of diffusion barriers and as a scaffold to recruit other proteins. In budding yeast, proper execution of cytokinesis and cell division requires the formation of a collar of circumferential filaments at the bud neck. These filaments are assembled from apolar septin hetero-octamers. Currently, little is known about the mechanisms that control the arrangement and dynamics of septin structures. In this study, we utilized both Förster resonance energy transfer and electron microscopy to analyze the biophysical properties of the septin-binding protein Bni5 and how its association with septin filaments affects their organization.We found that the interaction of Bni5 with the terminal subunit (Cdc11) at the junctions between adjacent hetero-octamers in paired filaments is highly cooperative. Both the C-terminal end of Bni5 and the C-terminal extension of Cdc11make important contributions to their interaction. Moreover, this binding may stabilize the dimerization of Bni5, which, in turn, forms cross-filament braces that significantly narrow, and impose much more uniform spacing on, the gap between paired filaments. © 2016 The Authors.

OCCURRENCE OF ARTICHOKE LATENT POTYVIRUS (ARLV) AND TOMATO SPOTTED WILT VIRUS (TSWV) AS MIXED INFECTION IN ARTICHOKE PRODUCTION AREAS

Artichoke (Cynara scolymus), is one of the most important agricultural products of North Cyprus (NC) due to its importance in export. During field surveys in artichokes production fields between 2013 and 2016, little and indistinguishable leaves, light shaded regions taking after mosaic with yellowish wilting of the leaves and little head development plants were gathered and broken down by DAS-ELISA for the examination of infections (most of them mentioned by Gallitelli et al. (2004)) which could be harmful to artichokes (belonging to groups of Nepovirus, Cheravirus, Fabavirus, Ilarvirus, Cucumovirus, Tombusvirus, Tobamovirus, Tobravirus, Potyvirus, Carlavirus, Potexvirus, Crinivirus, Tospovirus, Anulavirus, in the families of Rhabdoviridae and Bromoviridae respectively). Thirty-three samples were detected positive for mix infection of Artichoke Latent Potyvirus (ArLV) and Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) in Laboratory assays (ELISA and RT-PCR). The results were also confirmed by RT-PCR using total RNA which was extracted from the leaves. RT-PCR assay was conducted by newly designed Sense and antisense primer pairs specific to ArLV; L1TSWVR and L2TSWVF primer pairs specific to TSWV. As results of RT-PCR, the region of 485 bp special to coat protein of ArLV and 276 bp of TSWV were obtained in 2% agarose gel. While occurrence of remaining viruses was not detected in the tested samples, it was observed that disease incidence increased due to non-sterile equipment and devices during the harvest. Additionally, infected product materials, transmission with aphid and thrips vectors also increased disease incidence. In NC, the occurrence of ArLV was assigned as a new virus disease in Artichoke and also mixed infection with TSWV.
A Critical Analysis of the ID 3 Algorithm and its Successor C 4 . 5

ID3 is an algorithm that efficiently creates decision trees even from large datasets. First introduced in 1986 it was constantly improved to work more efficient and to create simpler and more correct decision trees for classification problems. ID3 and its successors are white box algorithms whose output is theoretically comprehensible by humans. Therefore they are not only but especially recommended for use cases where humans can use assistance to make decisions and take actions. This paper analyzes ID3 and its successor C4.5 for their strengths and flaws and points out new approaches in the field of artificial intelligence, which try to enhance the comprehensibility of other approaches in artificial intelligence.
LIFE SATISFACTION , STRESS AND COPING STRATEGIES AMONG STUDENTS IN HIGHER EDUCATIONAL SETTING

The present study was carried out to assess the relationship between life satisfaction, stress and coping strategies among students in higher education. Purposive sampling was employed and data were collected from 107 students enrolled in higher education in University of Jammu. Demographic information was obtained from the participants. Pearson’s Product Moment Method was applied for statistical analyses of the data. Significant and negative correlation came out between life satisfaction and stress, the correlation between life satisfaction and dimensions of coping strategy came out to be non significant. There was significant and positive correlation between stress, cognitive avoidance, acceptance resignation and emotional discharge. From the results it can be concluded that with decrease in stress level there will be increase in life satisfaction of the students. There is more usage of avoidance oriented coping strategies by students to deal with the stress. However, use of coping strategies was not related to their satisfaction with life. Findings can be taken into consideration for developing certain interventions/solutions focusing specifically on the use of coping strategies that helps not only in reducing stress but also in promoting life satisfaction among the students in higher education.
Oral Communication and Symbolization – validating a tool for analysing outcome of early intervention

Parents to pre-schoolers with severe developmental language delays usually report elevated communication by their children after participating in a parental communication course. Valid, reliable and convenient observational outcome measures are warranted. Video recordings of three children’s communication were collected at Preand Post-intervention, and at a Follow-up. These were analysed independently by the author and a blinded clinician focusing on the child ́s Gestural and Oral Communication and Symbolization (GOCS) ability, an instrument developed for the current study. In addition, parents were interviewed with the Vineland Adaptive Behaviour Scales (VABS) and completed the Swedish Communicative Development Inventories questionnaires (SECDI). Strong significant correlations were found between symbolic GOCS data and corresponding VABS and SECDI data. Follow-up interviews and additional parent information largely supported GOCS data. Interobserver intra-class correlations were excellent. Reliability and methodological issues, as well as further development and validation of GOCS are discussed.
Non-Case-Marked Wh-Phrases and Left-Dislocation

Absence of Case markers on nominals in Korean show subject-object asymmetries: (i) Case markers can be absent in complement positions unlike those in canonical subject positions. (ii) Unlike object wh-phrases without Case markers, subject wh-phrases without them have only D-linked interpretation. In this paper, we propose: (i) Bare NPs can occur in the complement position of V since it can be a part of a syntactic complex predicate. (ii) Bare wh-phases in derived positions are left dislocated nominals that undergo SubMove leaving unpronounced resumptive pro. Hence, only D-linked reading arises in these constructions parallel to wh-resumption or wh-clitic doubling constructions found in other languages. Some implications of our proposal correlate with the new typology of dislocation in Korean: namely, HTLD vs. CLLD in connection to presence/absence of resumption. Our analysis further sheds light on semantic-pragmatic nature of non-Case-marked NPs in Korean, which previous discourse studies have attempted to capture. Introduction This paper aims to explore subject-object asymmetries related to non-occurrence of Case markers in Korean and capture close relation between absence of Case markers on wh-phrases and interpretation. It is widely observed that an Acc Case marker can be absent when nominals are in complement positions (Ahn 1988). (1) Mary-ka Sue-(lul) manna-ss-e. Mary-Nom Sue-(Acc) meet-Past-Dec ‘Mary met Sue. ’ In (1), Sue and Sue-lul can freely occur as a complement of the verb. A similar 1 Some terminological remarks: We will use the term “non-Case-marked” throughout this paper. This term is different from Case deletion, Case drop, and Case ellipsis the previous literature has used. The latter refer to the case where a Case marker actually undergoes ellipsis. On the other hand, by using the former, we just refer to the phenomenon simply as non-occurrence of Case and don’t assume that a Case marker undergoes deletion. 2 It is not crystal clear whether the presence/absence of an Accusative marker has any bearing on semantic or pragmatic contributions. Ahn (1988) indicates some specificity effects on the overt Accusative marker (see further evidence in Kim 1993 and Lee & Cho 2003), while Jun (2005) claims that the overt Accusative Case is an instance of a focus marker (see also Ko 2000, Ko 2002; 2004 for some semantic/pragmatic import of the overt Cases in Korean). In this paper, space limitations force us to abstract away from the formal semantic/pragmatic details of pronouncing effects of Case markers in Korean. But see the last section of this paper for some related discussion.
Popular Summary Factors Affecting the Evolution of Hurricane Erin and the Distributions of Hydrometeors: Role of Microphysical Processes

Fine-resolution simulations of Hurricane Erin 2001 are conducted using the Perm State University/National Center for Atmospheric Research mesoscale model version 3.5 to investigate the role of thermodynamic, boundary layer and microphysical processes in Erin’s growth and maintenance, and their effects on the horizontal and vertical distributions of hydrometeors. Through comparison against radar, radiometer, and dropsonde data collected during the Convection and Moisture Experiment 4, it is seen that realistic simulations of Erin are obtained provided that fme resolution simulations with detailed representations of physical processes are conducted. The principle findings of the study are as follows: 1) a new iterative condensation scheme, which limits the unphysical increase of equivalent potential temperature associated with most condensation schemes, increases the horizontal size of the hurricane, decreases its maximum rainfall rate, reduces its intensity, and makes its eye more moist; 2) in general, microphysical parameterization schemes with more categories of hydrometeors produce more intense hurricanes, larger hydrometeor mixing ratios, and more intense updrafts and downdrafts; 3) the choice of coefficients describing hydrometeor fall velocities has as big of an impact on the hurricane simulations as does choice of microphysical parameterization scheme with no clear relationship between fall velocity and hurricane intensity; and 4) in order for a tropical cyclone to adequately intensify, an advanced boundary layer scheme (e.g., Burk-Thompson scheme) must be used to represent boundary layer processes. The impacts of varying simulations on the horizontal and vertical distributions of different categories of hydrometeor species, on equivalent potential temperature, and on storm updrafts and downdrafts are examined to
- 464-Using a combined localization / detection model to simulate human localization performance near the masked threshold level

Recently, it was shown that the perceptual lateralization of a partly masked target can be simulated using the interaural cross-correlation difference (ICCD) algorithm [1,2]. I n reference to this model, the interaural time differences (ITDs) of a target are calculated from the difference in the interaural cross correlation (ICC) of the total sound target+distracter and the ICC of the distracter alone, which is estimated from the part of the distracter that precedes the target. However, in some listening conditions, the target level was below the masked detection threshold level, in which the model could not fully simulate the listeners’ responses. To be able to s imulate those conditions a detection threshold model was implemented into the localization model. Now, the localization process is only triggered when the target is detected by this stage, and otherwise the position o f the sound source is determined according to a behavioral pattern. The detection stage is based on an onand offset detection algorithm that analyzes the derivative in time. For the simulation of the binaural conditions, the Equalization-Cancellation model (EC) algorithm of Durlach was included into the model. It has been shown that for target levels above the masked detection threshold the on-/offset detection algorithm is accurate enough to trigger the subtraction process of the ICCD algorithm. Furthermore, the simulation of the clustering and scattering effects, which are localization patterns observed for low target-to-distracter ratios, could be improved. Ba nd pa ss filt er ba nk HR TF
FORECASTING AUDIENCE OF MOTION PICTURES CONSIDERING COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT

Film industry is one of the most prospective cultural business sectors and attracts much of public attention. However, investment on individual film titles is notorious for its high risk level, which has raised the necessity of research on the influential factors for box office revenue. Despite of abundant extant studies, those attempts have been mostly limited to a certain kind of factors and the competitive environment is even hardly explored. In this regard, we investigate the significance and relative contribution of a wide variety of possible influential factors including distribution power and competition. In this study, we devised various new variables to reflect competition environment and categorized independent variables into several groups in order to compare their influences. Results showed that all various information reflected in four variable groups contribute to box office revenue in both estimation and forecasting. Between mathematical models, SVM models exhibit better result than linear models as expected. Regarding competition variables, the number of competitors is found to be more effective compared to their distribution power.
Application of a Single Actuator Multiple Manipulation ( SAMM ) Mechanism

Multi-Degree-Of-Freedom (MDOF) motion in a system normally requires one actuator per Degree-Of-Freedom (DOF) for position control. With the use of a Single Actuator Multiple Manipulation (SAMM) mechanism, it is possible to centralize the control of an entire MDOF system to a single actuator. For slow systems that allocate a low duty cycle to multiple actuators, a SAMM mechanism can yield a cheaper, more efficient design as it utilizes more of an actuator’s potential over the lifetime of the system. As the number of DOFs increases, a SAMM mechanism can also significantly reduce the total actuator weight of a system. A SAMM mechanism can be created by designing individual modules to transfer the bidirectional rotation of an actuator to each DOF. By arranging these modules around an actuator, each can be activated and controlled. The prototype described in this paper uses an oscillating ratchet mechanism to facilitate this activation.
DIVERSITY OF PHYSIOLOGICAL TRAITS IN JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE GENOTYPES UNDER NON-STRESS AND DROUGHT STRESS

Physiological traits such as SPAD Chlorophyll Meter Reading (SCMR), specific leaf area (SLA) and harvest index (HI) play an important role in crop yield. The objectives of this work were to study the effect of drought stress on HI, SCMR and SLA and explore genetic variability for these physiological traits in Jerusalem artichoke (JA) (Helianthus tuberosus L.). Field experiments were conducted in the dry period of 2010/11 and 2011/12 in the Northeast of Thailand using a strip plot design with four replications. A horizontal factor was three different water regimes (W1: 100% Crop water requirement (ETcrop), W2: 75% ETcrop and W3: 45% ETcrop) and a vertical factor was 40 JA genotypes. Measurements on HI, relative water content (RWC), SLA and SCMR were conducted at 40, 60 and 70 days after transplantation. Drought stress significantly reduced RWC and SLA but significantly increased SCMR. High variations in SCMR (32-59) and SLA (78-213 cm g) were found among genotypes. The correlations between HI and SCMR (r = 0.56 to 0.78, p≤ 0.01) were positive and significant, whereas the respective ones between HI and SLA (r = -0.60 to -0.76, p≤ 0.01) were negative and significant as those between SCMR and SLA (r = -0.73 to -0.90, p≤0.01). These findings suggested that SCMR was linked with SLA and HI in JA. SCMR could be used as a physiological trait for indirect selection for HI and productivity under various water regimes in JA.

1 . 1 Lady Tasting Tea

In this lecture note, we discuss the fundamentals of statistical hypothesis tests. Any statistical hypothesis test, no matter how complex it is, is based on the following logic of stochastic proof by contradiction. In mathematics, proof by contradiction is a proof technique where we begin by assuming the validity of a hypothesis we would like to disprove and then derive a contradiction under the same hypothesis. For example, here is a well-know proof that √ 2 is an irrational number, i.e., a number that cannot be expressed as a fraction.
Turkish Adaptation of Caring Climate Scale in a Physical Activity Setting and Reviewing Psychometry Properties : Validation and Reliability Study

The research objective in this study is to make adaptation of Caring Climate Scale in a physical activity setting (CCS) that is developed by Newton et al. (in 2007) to Turkish and examine its psychometric properties. The scale comprises of one-dimension and 13 items. 468 students who have been studying and doing physical exercise as certified athletes in the following Schools of Physical Education and Sports of Ahi Evran University, Marmara University, Akdeniz University, Selcuk University and Ege University constitute the research group of the study. Internal consistency, factor analysis of substance, test-retest and criterion-related validity studies applied for determining the psychometric properties of scale. The Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency coefficient value of the scale was determined as 0.801 for total point. The obtained data from the exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis has corroborative features for the single-factor structure of scale. Besides, the scale provided high-test–test-retest scores in analyses conducted. In this context, it is evaluated that the scale is a valid and reliable measuring instrument for Turkish sample group.
The Optical and Electrical Properties of CdSe Thin Films Prepared by CBD Technique

In this work thin films of CdSe were deposited on glass substrate by chemical bath deposition technique at different deposition temperatures 298, 318, and 328 K. The effects of deposition temperature on the optical properties have been studied as well as the effect of annealing at different temperatures (373, 473, 573 and 673 K) for one hour. The optical properties of CdSe were studied from transmittance measurements as a function of a range of wave lengths (320-1000 nm). Optical band gap has been decreased from 2 to 1.7 eV after annealing. CdSe/p-Si was prepared by depositing CdSe film on the p-type Si substrate. The IV characteristics showed a diode behavior.
nalysis of the immunogenicity and bioactivities of a split influenza / H 7 N 9 vaccine mixed with MF 59 adjuvant in BALB / c mice

The H7N9 influenza virus caused significant mortality and morbidity in humans during an outbreak in China in 2013. A recombinant H7N9 influenza seed with hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) gene segments from A/Zhejiang/DTID-ZJU01/2013(H7N9) and six internal protein gene segments from A/Puerto Rico/8/34(H1N1; PR8) were generated using reverse genetics. We sought to determine the immunogenic, protective properties, and mechanisms of a split avian influenza A/H7N9 vaccine mixed with MF59 adjuvant in comparison to vaccines that included other adjuvant. BALB/c mice were vaccinated with two doses of different amounts and combinations of this novel A/ZJU01/PR8/2013 split vaccine with adjuvant. Mice were subsequently challenged with A/Zhejiang/DTID-ZJU01/2013(H7N9) by intranasal inoculation. We verified that MF59 enhanced the HI, MN, and IgG antibody titers to influenza antigens.
ROOTING AND ACCLIMATIZATION OF IN VITRO MICROPROPAGATED SNOWDROP ( Galanthus ikariae

Rooting and acclimatization phases of Galanthus ikariae micropropagation were studied using bulblets produced in vitro from bulb-scales. For rooting, bulblets were cultured on full, 1/2, 1/4 or 1/8 strength modified Murashige and Skoog (MMS) media which contained different concentrations of sucrose (30, 60 g·L), activated charcoal (AC) (0.2, 0.5 and 1.0%) and naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) (0, 0.01, 0.1 and 0.5 mg·L). Cultures were incubated in a growth chamber at 23°C, 16 / 8 hour photoperiod for 16 week. The results indicated that NAA concentration is important factor for root formation. The effects of other factors such as medium strength, AC and sucrose concentrations on rooting were not found statistically signifficant. Compared to other dosages of NAA, the highest rate of rooting was obtained from culture media containing 0.5 mg·L NAA. For the transplantation stages of experiments, rooted bulblets in 1/8 MMS medium which contained 0.5% AC, 0.5 mg·L NAA and 60 g·L sucrose concentration and 1/2 MMS medium which contained 0.5% AC, 0.5 mg·L NAA and 30 g·L sucrose concentration were transferred either directly to the sterile soil mixture or incubated for 8 weeks at 4°C or incubated for 4 weeks in MMS medium contained 2% sucrose and different concentrations of gibberellic acid (GA3) (10 or 50 mg·L) and then to soil. Although the differences between the proportions obtained from treatments were statistically unsignificant, the highest rate of survival was determined as 28 % in bulblets which were rooted in 1/2 MMS medium containing 30 g·L sucrose, 0.5 % AC and 0.5 mg·L NAA and then transferred directly to the soil.
