Overexpression of Arabidopsis PP2CA2 gene shows phenotypes related to abscisic acid responses

In this study we overexpressed PP2CA2 gene in Arabidopsis to provide genetic evidence on this gene function in seed germination and other plant responses. The average seed germination percentage of constitutive expression of AtPP2CA2 under a cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter (35S::AtPP2CA2) was lower than that of wild type under 0.3 and 1 uM exogenous abscisic acid (ABA), indicating an increased sensitivity of 35S::AtPP2CA2 seeds to ABA with respect to wild type. The35S::AtPP2CA2 seedlings showed an increased inhibition of root growth compared with wild-type plants. In the absence of exogenous ABA, the water loss in35S::AtPP2CA2 plants was lower than that in wild type. There is no obvious difference of water loss between 35S::AtPP2CA2 and wild type plants under 10 uM ABA treatment. The 35S::AtPP2CA2 plants had smaller stomatal apertures than did wild-type plants under ABA treatment. Furthermore, the 35S::AtPP2CA2 seedlings showed a reduced inhibition of hypocotyl growth compared with wild-type plants under the 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 uM exogenous ABA. The study on overexpression of AtPP2CA2gene could provide an approach for improving crop performance under stress conditions. Key words: Arabidopsis, AtPP2CA2 gene, phenotype, abscisic acid signal transduction.
Fast Temporal and Spatial Resolved Stress Analysis at Laser Surface Line Hardening of Steel AISI 4140

Local and temporal strain and stress evolution is recorded by synchrotron X-ray diffraction during laser line hardening of SAE 4140 steel in the quenched and tempered states at different measuring positions with respect to the process zone. The in-situ diffraction experiments were performed at beamline P05@Petra III at DESY, Hamburg (Germany). The steel samples were line hardened using a 4 kW high-power diode laser (HPDL) unit at a constant laser feed of 800 mm/min. Using a specially designed process chamber that incorporates symmetrically attached fast silicon micro-strip line detectors, stress analysis using the sin² ψ -method in single-exposure mode, enabled measuring rates at 20 Hz. As a result of the temporal and spatial resolved analyses, the elastic strains were separated from the thermal strains.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PLASMA HAPTOGLOBIN, MONOCYTE TOLL LIKE RECEPTOR 4 EXPRESSION WITH GROWTH AND THE EFFECT OF SUPPLEMENTATION OF FERMENTED YEAST CULTURE ON LOW BODY WEIGHT CROSSBRED CALVES

The relationship between circulating Haptoglobin, Toll like receptor 4 (TLR 4) expression and growth of post weaned low body weight crossbred female calves with supplementation of fermented yeast culture. The expression of TLR 4 receptor and plasma Haptoglobin concentration may act as indicators for post weaning stress and subclinical infection . At nine months of age, Karan Fries calves were grouped in to normal (HBW) and low body weight (LBW) calves fermented yeast culture (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) was supplemented @ 300g/ quintal of concentrate mixture for feeding of low body weight. The calves were offered wheat straw and green fodder to meet their nutritional requirements . The concentration of plasma Haptoglobin (Hp) was observed to be negatively correlated with body weight Expression of TLR 4 in monocytes was down regulated in low body weight group female crosbred KF calves (LBW) when compared with normal growing calves (HBW). Fermented yeast culture supplementation improved the average daily gain, metabolic body weight (BW0.75) and expression of TLR 4 and decreased concentration of plasma Haptoglobin in LBW group calves.

Plant-Soil-Hydrology Relationships in Three Carolina Bays in Bladen County, North Carolina

Abstract This study provides quantitative ecological targets for restoring degraded peat-based Carolina Bays in the Carolina Flatwoods Ecoregion. Cluster analysis of vegetation data from three Carolina Bay reference sites in Bladen County, North Carolina, indicated four plant communities present: pond pine (Pinus serotina) woodland, non-riverine swamp forest dominated by swamp gum (Nyssa biflora), high pocosin dominated by evergreen shrubs with scattered pond pine, and bay forest dominated by loblolly bay (Gordonia lasianthus). We classified bay soils according to surface organic layer thickness (OLT) into mineral, histic, shallow organic, and deep organic types. We monitored the water table of each soil type in one bay throughout one growing season. The soil types with corresponding water table regimes were: mineral (9.4 cm mean OLT with a rooting zone water table [RZWT] 39% of the monitoring period), histic (27.5 cm OLT and 76% RZWT), shallow organic (63.9 cm OLT and 84% RZWT), and deep organic (102.5 cm OLT and 57% RZWT). Pearson residual analysis and correspondence analysis revealed that pond pine woodland was positively associated with mineral and histic soils, non-riverine swamp forest with shallow organic soil, bay forest with deep organic soil, and high pocosin with deep organic soil. We concluded that peat-based Carolina Bay restoration in the Carolina Flatwoods Ecoregion should be gauged against reference data which suggests: 1) pond pine woodland be established on mineral and histic soils; 2) non-riverine swamp forest be established on shallow organic soils; and 3) high pocosin and bay forest be established on deep organic soils.
Towards a new seismic hazard assessment in Spain

Seismic hazard is an evolving science that is fed by geological and seismological studies. As new data and models arise, the revision of hazard maps is compelling. Additionally, understanding the nature and the sources of the uncertainties involved in seismic hazard analyses is essential in order to reduce them. In this context, Spain is not an exception and a move towards a reassessment of the national hazard maps is pertinent. Several hazard-controlling factors needing to be updated and eventually revaluated are identified in this work in progress. The first one concerns the seismic catalogue. It must be homogenised, incorporating data from neighbouring countries and correlating magnitude scales for different regions and recording periods. A second factor refers to seismicity characterization by zoning and zoneless models: Neotectonic, seismological and other geological data that justify the development of a new zoning model for Spain and adjacent areas are disclosed. Revaluation of seismic areas that are traditionally considered as stable but show evidence of seismic activity at present and during Quaternary times needs to be considered. The interest of developing a neotectonic characterization of active faults is advanced. For zoneless models, the different elements that define the continuous spatial variation of the activity rate density have to be examined. For a zoneless model based on kernel functions, these elements would be the specific type of kernel function, the bandwidth and the reference years. A third factor requiring a modern analysis refers to the implementation of different strong motion prediction models. These include models based on local data and developed with data from other regions. Special attention is paid to the application of the next generation attenuation models originally developed for western North America to Spain. Criteria for selecting different models must be clearly and thoughtfully enumerated. The final goal of this work is to assess the variability of seismic hazard results to the new data and models that are becoming available. Such information will be of indubitable interest for forthcoming versions of the seismic code, national annexes of Eurocode 8 and research projects fomented by the Spanish Nuclear Security Council
The bent of human resource theory on gender equality: examining work conditions for female leaders in U.S. collegiate athletic organizations

The low representation of female leaders is problematic in work organizations. In fact, women historically have had trouble entering the managerial hierarchy of a multitude of industries including the sport industry. Accordingly, the evolution of sport has proffered a diverse array of jobs with growth potential. Despite this, sport remains a male dominated sector where women’s perspectives on work issues have not been fully investigated. The purpose of this study is to examine perceived organizational factors impacting the representation of female leaders in college athletics. To promptly investigate issues and concerns of working women in sport, the research focused on human resource management (HRM). This study utilized survey design, specifically snowball sampling, to generated 60 completed questionnaires from female administrators working in U.S. collegiate athletics. A Qualtrics online survey site was created to gather responses. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Demographics showed the level of work experience, position titles, and educational background varied across the sample. Results showed that structures were important factors in recruiting and advancing female leaders, while the ’ole’ boys’ networks and limited social capital negatively impacted leadership development. In conclusion, leadership opportunities for women in intercollegiate athletics were perceived to be shaped by organizational practices.

Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings

In recent years many car manufacturers developed digital co-drivers , which are able to monitor the driving behaviour of a car. Sensors in the car measure if a car passes speed limits, leaves its lane, or violates other traffic rules. A new generation of co-drivers is based on sensors in the car which are able to monitor the driver behaviour. Driving a car is a sequence of actions. In case a driver doesn’t show one of the actions the co-driver generates a warning signal. Experiments in the car simulator TORC were performed to extract the actions of a car driver. These actions were used to develop probabilistic models of the driving behaviour. A prototype of a warning system has been developed and tested in the car simulator. The experiments and test results will be reported in this paper.

Modelling the movement of transformed cell populations.

The aim of this work was to analyze migrating cell populations, in search of motion models able to accurately describe the features of normal and transformed fibroblast movement, under different experimental conditions. Diverse diffusive models were evaluated, by fitting them to experimental datasets obtained by collecting quantitative data on cell direction and step length under standard culture condition as well as after introduction of a wound in the cell layer. The analysis showed that fibroblast movement has the features of a superdiffusion in all the examined cases, as the squared displacements scale superlinearly with time. The persistent random walk model fits all data from fibroblast populations, although a varying degree of persistence was found under different experimental conditions. For NIH3T3 fibroblasts, high persistence was always observed, while NIHRas fibroblasts showed lower persistence in non wound stimulated cultures compared to stimulated ones. In presence of a wound stimulus, directional analysis allowed to associate persistence with a marked ability of fibroblasts to move, all together, towards a specific direction defined by the wound stimulus. Another superdiffusive model, the Levy walk, was not successful in describing NIH3T3 and NIHRas fibroblast populations. The procedures have been made available within MotoCell, a web application previously developed to quantitatively study cell movement, in an effort to generate an effective tool, that can easily perform all the steps of a cell motility study, ranging from cell tracking, to descriptive statistics and model fit analysis.
ANTUNES Growth Performance in Portugal Since the 1960 ’ s : A Simultaneous Equation Approach with Cumulative Causation Characteristics

The aim of this paper is to explain growth performance in Portugal in the last decades through a multi-equation system with cumulative growth characteristics. The model uses a demandorientated approach to determine the main relationships which explain growth through a virtuous cycle. The idea is to identify the driving forces of growth with causal linkages and feedback tendencies that turn the process self-sustained. The multi-equation growth model is estimated by 3SLS to capture more efficiently the interrelations between the main growth forces and to control for the endogeneity of the regressors. Our evidence shows that the proposed model can successfully be used to explain the Portuguese growth performance, highlighting the importance of exports competitiveness as the key factor in this process. The cumulative growth process can be interrupted at some points mainly due to the incapacity of transferring productivity gains into domestic prices and to turn the economy more competitive. Capital accumulation is also shown not to affect productivity growth and domestic prices not to improve exports competitiveness. These are the main drawbacks of the Portuguese economy that could explain the failure to achieve higher growth rates in the last decades. JEL code: O1, O3, O4
Title On the definition of marginal ice zone width Permalink

Sea ice features a dense inner pack ice zone surrounded by a marginal ice zone (MIZ) in which the sea ice properties are modified by interaction with the ice-free open ocean. The width of the MIZ is a fundamental length scale for polar physical and biological dynamics. Several different criteria for establishing MIZ boundaries have emerged in the literature—wave penetration, floe size, sea ice concentration, etc.—and a variety of definitions for the width between the MIZ boundaries have been published. Here, three desirable mathematical properties for defining MIZ width are proposed: invariance with respect to translation and rotation on the sphere; uniqueness at every point in theMIZ; and generality, including nonconvex shapes. The previously published streamline definition is shown to satisfy all three properties, wherewidth is defined as the arc length of a streamline through the solution to Laplaces’s equation within theMIZ boundaries, while other published definitions each satisfy only one of the desired properties.When definingMIZ spatial averagewidth from streamline results, the rationale for averaging with respect to distance along both MIZ boundaries was left implicit in prior studies. Here it is made rigorous by developing and applying the mathematics of an analytically tractable idealization of MIZ geometry—the eccentric annulus. Finally, satellite-retrieved Arctic sea ice concentrations are used to investigate how well streamline-based MIZ spatial average width is approximated by alternative definitions that lack desirable mathematical properties or local width values but offer computational efficiency.
ENGINEERING & GINNING Comparison of Emission Profiles for Volatile Organic Compounds from Cotton and Polypropylene-based Tarp

Volatile organic compounds were determined in headspace atmospheres over samples of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and polypropylene {[CH2CH(CH3)]n} at 100 and 150( (( (C in He and air. A small number of volatile organic compounds were released from cotton at 100( (( (C in He with comparatively low emission rates of 0.2 to 0.3 µg g -1 per component. These components had C numbers below 21. In contrast, emission rates for volatile organic compounds from polypropylene-based tarp were 0.6 to 9 µg g -1 at 100(C in He, and constituents were predominantly alkanes with C numbers of 14 to 19. Increases in emission rates were observed for components with low vapor pressures (i.e., C numbers >16) though little increase was observed for components with high vapor pressures (i.e., C numbers <16). Exposing cotton to an air atmosphere at 150(C created dramatically new chromatographic profiles for volatile organic compounds versus those from inert atmospheres, and emission rates per compound increased to 0.4 to 1.3 µg g -1 .

BaDELE 3000 : An implementation of the lexical inheritance principle ( 1 )

This paper presents a database, called BaDELE3000, developed for a computer application for learning Spanish called CALLEX-ESP. Emphasis is placed on the potential properties of Lexical Functions in order to get a set of nouns that share identical values for collocations. The database implements the lexical inheritance principle which together with glosses of lexical functions makes it possible, for different sets of words with identical semantic labels, to inherit some collocations automatically. Thanks to this process, productivity and coherence of the final result is guaranteed.
Steady flow instability in an annulus with deflectors at rotational vibration

Experimental study and direct numerical simulation of the dynamics of an isothermal low-viscosity fluid are done in a coaxial gap of a cylindrical container making rotational vibrations relative to its axis. On the inner surface of the outer wall of the container, semicircular deflectors are regularly situated, playing the role of flow activators. As a result of vibrations, the activators oscillate tangentially. In the simulation, a 2D configuration is considered, excluding the end-wall effects. In the experiment, a container with a large aspect ratio is used. Steady streaming is generated in the viscous boundary layers on the activators. On each of the latter, beyond the viscous domain, a symmetric vortices pair is formed. The steady streaming in the annulus has an azimuthal periodicity. With an increase in the vibration intensity, a competition between the vortices occurs, as a result of which one of the vortices (let us call it even) approaches the activator and the other one (odd) rolls away and couples with the vortices from the neighbouring pairs. Streamlines of the odd vortices close on each other, forming a cog-wheel shaped flow that encircles the inner wall. Comparison of the experiment and the simulation reveals an agreement at moderate vibration intensity.
