Anther proteomic characterization in temperature sensitive Bainong male sterile wheat

Male sterile line is a useful material for hybridization, but its sterility mechanism, especially proteomic profile, is still not entirely clear. In wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), a male sterile Bainong (BNS) genotype whose sterility could be manipulated by temperature was recently selected. We focused on the proteomic profile change of anthers from the male sterile line (SL) and its conversional line (CL). Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and MALDI-TOF-MS technologies were utilized for proteomic profiles analysis. Differently abundant protein spots (over 2-fold, P < 0.05) were selected for identification analysis. Compared to CL, 24 up-regulated and 23 down-regulated proteins were identified in SL. Protein metabolism-related proteins, which included a ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 (23 kDa) and an ATP-dependent Clp protease proteolytic subunit, were over-accumulated in SL anthers. Alcohol dehydrogenase ADH1A, fructose-bisphosphate aldolase, chloroplast fructose-bisphosphate aldolase, and NADP-dependent malic enzyme were notably down-regulated in SL anthers. Up-regulated prohibitin protein Wph and a translationallycontrolled tumor protein homolog, and down-regulated histone acetyltransferases HAT1 and HAT2, and DNA directed RNA polymerase subunit  were identified in SL anthers. These dramatically changed proteins may play a crucial role in abnormal anther development and pollen abortion in BNS. Additional key words: cytoplasmic male sterility, protein degradation, proteome, Triticum aestivum.
RAISING PRODUCTIVITY AND QUALITY OF SUGAR BEET USING OF SEED INOCULATION AND FOLIAR APPLICATION WITH AZOSPIRILLUM BRASILIENSE AND BACILLUS MEGATHERIUM.

Two field experiments were conducted in 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 seasons in Nubaria , Alexandria Governorate to study the effect of seed inoculation and foliar application with Azospirillum and/or Bacillus on growth, yield and quality of sugar beet fertilized with N (90 kg N/fed) and P (30 kg P2O5/fed.). The experiments included 10 treatments with three replicates arranged in a randomized complete block design. Application of both biofertilizers either alone or in combination led to a significant improvement in most sugar beet traits as compared with control (untreated with biofertilizers). Meantime, the response differed according to the kind of biofertilizers. The highest stimulatory effects were exerted in plants treated with the mixture of Azospirillum and Bacillus than either of them alone. This treatment significantly improved growth parameters (root length, root diameter and root fresh weight), root quality (Total Soluble Solids % and sucrose %), nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium contents and increased tops, roots and sugar yields in both seasons. Azospirillum was more effective than Bacillus on growth parameters, root nitrogen and potassium %, tops, roots and sugar yield. But Bacillus was more effective on sucrose % and P% only. Seed inoculation along with foliar application was the best method on most traits under study. The interactions between biofertilizers and their methods of application led to significant increases in root diameter in the two seasons, root fresh weight, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content in the first season, tops yield in the two seasons and root yield in the second season. Therefore, using seed inoculation along with foliar application of the mixture of Azospirillum and Bacillus was the best interaction treatment, which gave the best results and is recommended for beet cultivation in order to minimize soil and water pollution adverse effects. The interaction between both studied factors had a significant effect on all studied characters in the two growing seasons. Generally, since sugar beet showed in previous studies response to addition reaching go to 90 kg N/fed and attains reaching 30 kg P2O5/fed, the use of the two biofertilizers under study might have had complemented the N and P requirements where only 90 kg N/fed and 30 kg P2O5 /fed were added.
Categorization and Similarity 2 MUSIC GENRE CLASSIFICATION : A MULTILINEAR APPROACH

In this paper, music genre classification is addressed in a multilinear perspective. Inspired by a model of auditory cortical processing, multiscale spectro-temporal modulation features are extracted. Such spectro-temporal modulation features have been successfully used in various content-based audio classification tasks recently, but not yet in music genre classification. Each recording is represented by a third-order feature tensor generated by the auditory model. Thus, the ensemble of recordings is represented by a fourth-order data tensor created by stacking the third-order feature tensors associated to the recordings. To handle large data tensors and derive compact feature vectors suitable for classification, three multilinear subspace techniques are examined, namely the Non-Negative Tensor Factorization (NTF), the High-Order Singular Value Decomposition (HOSVD), and the Multilinear Principal Component Analysis (MPCA). Classification is performed by a Support Vector Machine. Stratified cross-validation tests on the GTZAN dataset and the ISMIR 2004 Genre one demonstrate the advantages of NTF and HOSVD versus MPCA. The best accuracies obtained by the proposed multilinear approach is comparable with those achieved by state-of-the-art music genre classification algorithms.
FOR REVIEW ONLY FOR REVIEW ONLY FOR REVIEW ONLY FOR REVIEW ONLY FOR REVIEW ONLY NEURAL NETWORK ACOUSTIC MODELS WITH SUPERVISED HIDDEN LAYERS FOR AUTOMATIC SPEECH RECOGNITION

Supervising information, usually, would only appear in the output of deep neural networks (DNNs). This paper focuses on utilizing one or more than one types of supervising information in all output layer and hidden layers of DNNs for automatic speech recognition (ASR). Such scheme shows stable and significant improvement over both traditional singleand multi-task DNNs. This work also discusses performance between different controlling schemes of hidden layers’ supervising weights.

of : Radio-echo sounding measurements and ice-core synchronization at Dome C , Antarctica

The manuscript provides a detailed compatibility study of RES data from five different radar systems in the Dome C region, and is focused around the detection of Internal Reflection Horizons (IRHs). Their primary glaciological motivation, which is well emphasised throughout, regards synchronisation with ice core data and Oldest Ice characterisation. They present comparative A-scope and Z-scope plots, and are able to relate the different features present to the differing radar system characteristics. As part of the study they use an electromagnetic modelling framework and the dielectric profile of the ice core to estimate a `synthetic’ radar trace. The synthetic trace is a valuable component of the investigation as it enables them to establish a causal link between the dielectric properties of the ice layers and the internal reflections present in the radar traces. Detailed discussion of relevant uncertainty and spatial variability is provided. The authors conclude that the AWI, UTIG and CReSIS systems provide the best resolved internal layers, and have the best potential to be combinable. Additionally, the synthetic trace/age conversion enables the authors to conclude ~10 IRHs can be well synchronised with the ice core timescale.
Walk Score and objectively measured physical activity within a national cohort

Background There have been mixed findings regarding the relationship between walkability and level of physical activity in adults. Methods Participants from The REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) national cohort (N=7561) were used to examine the association between Walk Score and physical activity measured via accelerometry. The subsample included geographically diverse adults, who identified as black or white, and were over the age of 45. Linear regression was used to examine the direct effects, as well as the interaction, of Walk Score by sex, age and race. Results The majority of participants lived in a ‘Very Car-Dependent’ location (N=4115). Only 527 lived in a location that was ‘Very Walkable/Walker’s Paradise’. Living in a location with a Walk Score of ‘Very Car-Dependent’ compared with ‘Very Walkable/Walker’s Paradise’ was associated with 19% (0.81; 95% CI 0.73 to 0.90) lower predicted minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per day, after adjustment for covariates. There was no evidence of statistically significant interactions between Walk Score and sex, age or race (p>0.05). Conclusion Accumulated daily time in moderate to vigorous physical activity was higher for participants living in neighbourhoods designated as ‘Very Walkable/Walker’s Paradise’. This effect was not moderated by sex, age or race of participants.

Balancing Social Values and Profits in Social Business Hybrids: Scaling-Up Traps and Growth through Diversification

Organization scholars have recently studied the internal challenges and opportunities faced by companies that combine business and social logics (i.e., social business hybrids). This article addresses the implications of hybridity for strategic choices with products and businesses by focusing on the role of social business hybrids’ customers. In the conceptual framework, social identity theory explains how hybridity generates both positive and negative demand-side externalities. Thus, hybridity can be a source of competitive advantage in the marketplace, but also create hurdles to firms’ ability to scale up their business. Diversification represents a potential choice that simultaneously avoids a growth trap and preserves hybridity. This article analyzes the optimal ty e, timing, and scope of such diversification.
A guinea fowl genome assembly provides new evidence on evolution following domestication and selection in galliformes

The helmeted guinea fowl Numida meleagris belongs to the order Galliformes. Its natural range includes a large part of sub‐Saharan Africa, from Senegal to Eritrea and from Chad to South Africa. Archaeozoological and artistic evidence suggest domestication of this species may have occurred about 2,000 years BP in Mali and Sudan primarily as a food resource, although villagers also benefit from its capacity to give loud alarm calls in case of danger, of its ability to consume parasites such as ticks and to hunt snakes, thus suggesting its domestication may have resulted from a commensal association process. Today, it is still farmed in Africa, mainly as a traditional village poultry, and is also bred more intensively in other countries, mainly France and Italy. The lack of available molecular genetic markers has limited the genetic studies conducted to date on guinea fowl. We present here a first‐generation whole‐genome sequence draft assembly used as a reference for a study by a Pool‐seq approach of wild and domestic populations from Europe and Africa. We show that the domestic populations share a higher genetic similarity between each other than they do to wild populations living in the same geographical area. Several genomic regions showing selection signatures putatively related to domestication or importation to Europe were detected, containing candidate genes, most notably EDNRB2, possibly explaining losses in plumage coloration phenotypes in domesticated populations.
Interactive comment on “Uncertainty analysis of floodplain friction in hydrodynamic models” by Guilherme Dalledonne et al

Overview This study describes an interesting analysis on the estimation of uncertainty of hydrodynamic models on floodplains. Specifically, the variability of the velocity predictions of a 2-D hydrodynamic model related to the uncertainty of vegetated floodplain friction parameterization is investigated. Four traditional floodplain resistance formulae are considered using three different uncertainty analysis (UA) methods: i.e. First Order Second Moment, Monte Carlo sampling and metamodeling. The analysis carried on a case study selected along the Rhine River, show that the three UA methods compared gave similar results which means that First-Order Second-Moment is the less expensive one.
Back End of Line Nanorelays for Ultra-low Power Monolithic Integrated NEMS-CMOS Circuits

Back End of Line Nanorelays for Ultra-low Power Monolithic Integrated NEMS-CMOS Circuits Jesus Javier Lechuga Aranda Since the introduction of Complementary-Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) technology, the chip industry has enjoyed many benefits of transistor feature size scaling, including higher speed and device density and improved energy e ciency. However, in the recent years, the IC designers have encountered a few roadblocks, namely reaching the physical limits of scaling and also increased device leakage which has resulted in a slow-down of supply voltage and power density scaling. Therefore, there has been an extensive hunt for alternative circuit architectures and switching devices that can alleviate or eliminate the current crisis in the semiconductor industry. The Nano-Electro-Mechanical (NEM) relay is a promising alternative switch that o↵ers zero leakage and abrupt turn-on behaviour. Even though these devices are intrinsically slower than CMOS transistors, new circuit design techniques tailored for the electromechanical properties of such devices can be leveraged to design mediumperformance, ultra-low power integrated circuits. In this thesis, we deal with a new generation of such devices that is built in the back end of line (BEOL) CMOS process and is an ideal option for full integration with current CMOS transistor technology. Simulation and verification at the circuit and system level is a critical step in the design flow of microelectronic circuits, and this is especially important for new technologies that lack the standard design infrastructure and well-known verification 4 platforms. Although most of the physical and electrical properties of NEM structures can be simulated using standard electronic automation software, there is no report of a reliable behavioural model for NEMS switches that enable large circuit simulations. In this work, we present an optimised model of a BEOL nanorelay that encompasses all the electromechanical characteristics of the device and is robust and lightweight enough for VLSI applications that require simulation of thousands of devices. To verify the performance of the proposed model, complex logic circuits built exclusively with relays, and also, hybrid CMOS-NEM circuits are simulated and verified. Finally, these novel topologies are reviewed and discussed as low-power alternatives to current CMOS topologies.
Reply to comments from referee #1

Beirle et al. introduce the Mainz Profile Algorithm (MAPA) on the example of measurements taken during the CINDI2 campaign. The algorithm is based on parametrization and depends on a pre-calculated LUT. The algorithm itself, its a priori assumptions, a flagging scheme, as well as the still discussed and unsolved issue of an O4 scaling factor (SF) are thoroughly discussed. The manuscript is well structured and the results show good agreement with independent measurements. However, the authors should clarify three major issues:

Smart Advertising Robot with Data Analytics Using Machine Vision

Conventional advertisement methods have the drawback of targeting inappropriate customer segments. A Smart Advertising Robot (SMADBOT) is proposed, aims to improve the effectiveness of advertising through targeted advertising. SMADBOT is a robot implemented with digital display which provides targeted advertisements through data analytics using data obtained from machine vision. Microsoft Cognitive Services is used to predict emotion, gender and age group of people without the need of a self-trained model. Microsoft Power BI is used to classified consumers into various groups to achieve effective targeted advertising. Robot Operating System (ROS) is used as a framework to integrate data from different sensors to perform autonomous navigation. Several metrics were used to evaluate the performance of SMADBOT including age, emotion prediction errors and stopping accuracy. Emotion prediction achieved a mean accuracy of 94% and had a navigation accuracy of 5.51cm in error. SMADBOT was deployed in real environment to further validate and test proposed system, where 184 face counts were collected after a 3-hour autonomous navigation. Data collected were successfully classified into various customer segments for effective targeted advertising.
CHAPTER 2 Macroeconomic Shocks and Their Propagation

This chapter reviews and synthesizes our current understanding of the shocks that drive economic fluctuations. The chapter begins with an illustration of the problem of identifying macroeconomic shocks, followed by an overview of the many recent innovations for identifying shocks. It then reviews in detail three main types of shocks: monetary, fiscal, and technology. After surveying the literature, each section presents new estimates that compare and synthesize key parts of the literature. The penultimate section briefly summarizes a few additional shocks. The final section analyzes the extent to which the leading shock candidates can explain fluctuations in output and hours. It concludes that we are much closer to understanding the shocks that drive economic fluctuations than we were 20 years ago.
