IDENTIFICATION OF MUTATION IN THE BEMISIA TABACI (GENN.) PARA SODIUM CHANNEL GENE ASSOCIATED WITH RESISTANCE TO PYRETHROIDS

Mechanism of resistance to lambda-cyhalothrin in highly resistant Bemisia tabaci strain can be explained by the voltagegated sodium channel which is the primary target site of pyrethroid insecticides. The super knockdown resistance (super-kdr) to pyrethroids is caused by changes at specific sites on the para-type sodium channel protein domain II (IIS4-6). The B. tabaci paratype sodium channel gene was RT-PCR amplified from lab-strain (reference), Parent (first generation after treatment with the insecticide) and generation thirteen after treatment was considered. The mechanisms of resistance to Lambda-cyhalothrin (Karat 20% EC) in a Q biotype, highly resistant Bemisia tabaci strain. Analysis of the sequence of the IIS4-IIS6 region of the para sodium channel gene of lab-strain, Parent and resistant strain (G13) revealed two amino acid replacements compared to that of the SUD-S susceptible strain. One is the leucine to isoleucine substitution at position 925 (L925I) and allele r1-Q1 (GenBank accession no. DQ205206) has identical intron sequences with samples of parent and lab-strain, other is a novel kdr resistant mutation for B. tabaci, a threonine to valine substitution at position (T929V) and alleles r2-Q1 (GenBank accession no DQ205207) has identical intron sequence with G13.
Alignment Memories: A Useful Tool to Handle Phrase Alignment Bottleneck

—This document presents two bilingual phrase-based alignment methods handling syntactic constituents (sub-sentential components) of parallel sentences. The methods relie on an asymmetrical parsing of both languages: Light part-of-speech tagging for the target language, syntactic tree building for the ’source’ language and the complexity of each is studied. One of their beneﬁts is that they do not require lexical knowledge for granting alignment. Another is that they align constituents of variable length and structure, thus providing information about divergent translations. Their originality rely on the fact that parsing of the supposed source language is reused both in resource building and alignment process. The models and methods can be seen as a subclass of Example Based Machine Translation. The information acquisition process, partly supervised is embbeded in an online graphical human interface which accelerate the construction of golden corpora by one or many users.
TESTING THE RELIABILITY OF THE BANKING SERVICE QUALITY: A CASE STUDY OF COMMERCIAL BANKS IN VIETNAM

Nowadays, commercial banks have become an indispensable financial institution to operate the economy. Still, the state-owned commercial banking system is also considered an effective arm of the Government in implementing monetary policy to stabilize the macroeconomy, curb inflation, and ensure its social security. Besides, the quality of banking services plays a significant role. It is understood as banking operations in terms of capital, currency, the bank’s payment to customers to meet business needs, profit, living life, and storing property. Therefore, this study objective testing the reliability of the banking service quality of commercial banks in Vietnam. The study surveyed 900 customers related to commercial banks, but 765 samples processed and answered 39 questions. The data collected from July 2020 to November 2020. The authors tested Cronbach’s Alpha, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) for the banking service quality.
Automatic human-head and shoulder segmentation of frontal-view face images

Object segmentation is one of the basic issues in image processing and computer vision. However, especially human-head and shoulder segmentation is a topic which was introduced only recently, gaining in importance for a wide area of computer vision applications, such as testing compliance for ID document issuing, improving images for facial recognition or even used in the upcoming e-governmental self services and commercial sector. In this thesis we address the problem of automatic human-head and shoulder segmentation of frontal-view face images from non-uniform complex backgrounds and propose an approach composed of different subtask. These subtasks can be viewed individually and consist of a novel face skin silhouette detection approach based on supervised classification learners, a study of two state-of-the-art superpixel algorithms in relation to the specified problem statement and a novel hair and shoulder segmentation approach. We discuss and evaluate our methods and present competitive results for each subtask.
Elongation Factor EF-lx Gene Dosage Alters Translational Fidelity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

To understand how translational accuracy is controlled, it is important to identify which genes are involved and to determine how they exert their effects. The best-studied mutations that alter translational fidelity in yeast cells are the codon-specific suppressors caused by altered tRNA anticodons (for reviews, see references 32 and 40). Among other genes that affect translational accuracy are the omnipotent suppressors, e.g., sup35 and sup45, which cause non-codonspecific misreading (3, 9, 11, 17, 42), and the recessive antisuppressor, asu9, which increases translational fidelity in sup35 and sup45 strains (19, 20). While attempting to clone asu9, we found that an extra copy of one of two redundant genes coding for the translation elongation factor EF-la increased suppression efficiency in a sup45-2 asu9 strain. EF-la is an important component of the translational apparatus. It promotes the GTP-dependent binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the ribosome and participates in the proofreading of the codon-anticodon match (16, 23, 38). Yeast EF-la is encoded by two unlinked genes, TEF1 and TEF2 (5, 25, 26, 31). The two genes are efficiently transcribed at about the same level, and the presence of either gene is sufficient for cell viability and normal growth rates (4). Mutations in the yeast EF-la and its Escherichia coli analog EF-Tu have been found to affect translational fidelity (13, 14, 30, 37, 41). In yeast cells, single mutational changes in TEF2 were shown to cause dominant suppression of both nonsense and frameshift mutations (30). In this paper, we show that the level of EF-la also affects translational fidelity. (Preliminary accounts of some of these results have been reported elsewhere [J. M. Song and S. W. Liebman, Yeast 2:S364, 1986; S. W. Liebman, J. M. Song, J. All-Robyn, E. Griffin, and D. Kelley-Geraghty, NATO ASI Ser. H14: 403-414, 1988].) A DNA clone containing the TEF1 gene complements asu9. Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain SL680-4B (a asu9-1 sup452 leu2-1 met8-1 trpl-1 ade3-26 hisS-2 lys2-1 canl-132 ura352) was chosen as the host for selection of asu9 complementing clones. In this strain, the asu9-1 mutation prevented growth on medium containing trichodermin (0.5 ,ug/ml; kindly provided by Leo Pharmaceutical Products), and the asu9-1 and sup45-2 mutations together permitted only a low
Metagenome of a during Human Occupation.

Microbial contamination during long-term conﬁnements of space exploration presents potential risks for both crew members and spacecraft life support systems. A novel swab kit was used to sample various surfaces from a submerged, closed, analog habitat to characterize the microbial populations. Samples were collected from various locations across the habitat which were constructed from various surface materials (linoleum, dry wall, particle board, glass, and metal), and microbial populations were examined by culture, quantitative PCR (qPCR), microbiome 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and shotgun metagenomics. Propidium monoazide (PMA)-treated samples identiﬁed the viable/intact microbial population of the habitat. The cultivable microbial population ranged from below the detection limit to 10 6 CFU/sample, and their identity was characterized using Sanger sequencing. Both 16S rRNA amplicon and shotgun sequencing were used to characterize the microbial dynamics, community proﬁles, and functional attributes (metabolism, virulence, and antimicrobial resistance). The 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing revealed abundance of viable (after PMA treatment) Actinobacteria ( Brevibacterium , Nesternkonia , Mycobacterium , Pseudonocardia and Corynebacterium ), Firmicutes ( Virgibacillus , Staphylococcus , and Oceanobacillus ), and Proteobacteria (especially Acinetobacter ) on linoleum, dry wall, and particle board (LDP) surfaces, while members of Firmicutes ( Leuconostocaceae ) and Proteobacteria ( Enterobacteriaceae ) were high on the glass/metal surfaces. Nonmetric multidimensional scaling determined from both 16S rRNA and metagenomic analyses revealed differential microbial species on LDP surfaces and glass/ metal surfaces. The shotgun metagenomic sequencing of samples after PMA treatment showed bacterial predominance of viable Brevibacterium (53.6%), Brachybacterium (7.8%), Pseudonocardia (9.9%), Mycobacterium (3.7%), and Staphylococcus (2.1%), while fungal analyses revealed Aspergillus and Penicillium dominance. of the microbial ecology of the submerged analog habitat differs greatly from that of previously studied analog habitats.

*These authors contributed equally to this work Background: MicroRNA (miR)-21 is overexpressed in numerous types of malignancy and participates in the development of cancer. However, the basic mechanism of the influence of miR-21 on the malignant phenotype of pancreatic cancer remains unclear. Purpose: The present study aimed to investigate the role of miR-21 in pancreatic cancer development and explore its molecular mechanism. Patients and methods: The tissue samples were collected at the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University (Tianjin, China) between January 2013 and December 2015. The expression of VHL in tissue samples was evaluated by IHC staining. The expression of miR-21 was measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). MiR21 target gene was detected by real-time PCR, Western blot and the luciferase reporter assay. Cell viability, cell proliferation, cell migration and invasion were evaluated by the MTT assays, the colony formation assays and the transwell assays. The nude mouse tumor xenograft model was performed to detect the effect of miR-21 on tumor growth in vivo. Results: Von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor (VHL) was downregulated in pancreatic cancer tissues compared with pancreatic non-tumor tissues. VHL was identified as a novel direct target of miR-21, by which it is negatively regulated. In PANC-1 cells, inhibition of miR-21 and upregulation of VHL significantly suppressed cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Knockdown of miR-21 inhibited the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α/vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway, while inhibiting the expression of matrix metallopeptidase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9. Silencing of miR-21 inhibited tumor growth in vivo. Conclusion: Knockdown miR-21 increased the expression of VHL, and thus modulated the HIF-1α/VEGF pathway and the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9, which led to the inhibition of the proliferation, migration and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells. All of these results suggest that the miR-21/VHL interaction may be a novel potential target for pancreatic cancer prevention and therapy.
Tracing thick and thin concepts through corpora

Philosophers and linguists currently lack the means to reliably identify evaluative concepts and measure their evaluative intensity. Using a corpus-based approach, we present a new method to distinguish evaluatively thick and thin adjectives like ‘courageous’ and ‘awful’ from descriptive adjectives like ‘narrow,’ and from value-associated adjectives like ‘sunny. ’ Our study suggests that the modifiers ‘truly’ and ‘really’ frequently highlight the evaluative dimension of thick and thin adjectives, allowing for them to be uniquely classified. Based on these results, we believe our operationalization may pave the way for a more quantitative approach to the study of thick and thin concepts.

Analysis on Public Opinion Sentiment Evolution of COVID-19 Based on Weibo Data

: In this paper, we collected more than 60,000 weibo comments data from 2020 January 20 to December 28, by Python crawler. Subsequently, we used the SnowNLP model based on the naive Bayes algorithm to classify the text corpus with sentiment orientation, analyzed the evolution of epidemic-related topics, and visualized the display from the two dimensions of time and space. On temporal dimension, the emotional attitudes of netizens experienced an anxiety fluctuation period, a stable transition period, and a period of deterioration in public opinion during the beginning of the outbreak (January 20-April 28). The overall emotional attitude of netizens showed negative characteristics. netizens' sentiment experienced a period of rising volatility and steady improvement, with positive sentiment dominating during the normalization phase (May 1st-December 28th). On spatial dimension, we found that there were significant differences in the emotional state and attention of users in different administrative regions with geographic statistical analysis. The more severe the epidemic situation, the higher the topic participation of weibo users and the lower the emotional index. This research provides theoretical reference and event significance for targeted public opinion guidance at the macro level.
Biometric comparison of Nemipterus japonicus ( Bloch ) populations along the east coast of India o

Morphometric comparison of the samples of Nemipterus japonicus populations from four different localities on the east coast of India is made. Analysis of covariance of morphometric characters reveals significance at I% level for three characters. Character by character comparison of the means of locality-samples shows that there is clinal gradation in maxillary length (south to north) and pectoral length (north to south). The distanoe function (D)2 analysis shows that Kakinada is the farthest removed from other localities, and Visakhapatnam and Madras samples are nearer to each other. Paradeep sample occupied an intermediate position among the locality-samples. It is concluded that all Nemipterus japonicus populations along the east coast of India are from a single genetic population, with restricted and localized movements confined to the areas where they are caught. The 0 bserved distinctness of Kakinada sample appears to be due to phenotypic variation under the influence of low salinity.

Improved local testing for multiplicity codes

Multiplicity codes are a generalization of Reed-Muller codes which include derivatives as well as the values of low degree polynomials, evaluated in every point in F mp . Similarly to Reed-Muller codes, multiplicity codes have a local nature that allows for local correction and local testing. Recently, [6] showed that the plane test , which tests the degree of the codeword on a random plane, is a good local tester for small enough degrees . In this work we simplify and extend the analysis of local testing for multiplicity codes, giving a more general and tight analysis. In particular, we show that multiplicity codes MRM p ( m, d, s ) over prime fields with arbitrary d are locally testable by an appropriate k -flat test , which tests the degree of the codeword on a random k -dimensional affine subspace. The relationship between the degree parameter d and the required dimension k is shown to be nearly optimal, and improves on [6] in the case of planes. Our analysis relies on a generalization of the technique of canonincal monomials introduced in [5]. Generalizing canonical monomials to the multiplicity case requires substantially different proofs which exploit the algebraic structure of multiplicity codes.
Using Social Networking Sites (SNS) for Corporate Governance: an analysis of corporate communications from companies of â•œNew Marketâ•š tier at Brazilian Stock Exchange (B3)

Investors have broadly used Social Networking Sites (SNS) as a mean of spreading information that they can potentially use to support investment decisions. Also, several content generators dedicate themselves to discussing market trends, commentating on specific stocks performances, or even teaching techniques to operate on stock markets. Regarding these aspects, this paper aims to comprehend how Brazilian public companies are using SNS for communication with their current and potential investors. Therefore, we have developed qualitative research, exploratory and descriptive, using data from 146 companies listed on B3’s "New Market", the tier with the highest corporate governance level in Brazil. Our main finding is that Brazilian public companies virtually do not use SNS for corporate governance activities, such as communication with investors and financial information disclosures. For practitioners, this research reveals a great opportunity for companies to start developing processes, policies and best practices to implement SNS for corporate governance.
Lab on a Chip Microfluidics and catalyst particles

In this review article, we discuss the latest advances and future perspectives of microfluidics for micro/ nanoscale catalyst particle synthesis and analysis. In the first section, we present an overview of the different methods to synthesize catalysts making use of microfluidics and in the second section, we critically review catalyst particle characterization using microfluidics. The strengths and challenges of these approaches are highlighted with various showcases selected from the recent literature. In the third section, we give our opinion on the future perspectives of the combination of catalytic nanostructures and microfluidics. We anticipate that in the synthesis and analysis of individual catalyst particles, generation of higher throughput and better understanding of transport inside individual porous catalyst particles are some of the most important benefits of microfluidics for catalyst research.

La crítica de Eugen Fink al lenguaje fenomenológico husserliano Eugen Fink’s Critique of Husserlean Phenomenological Language

In this article I consider Eugen Fink’s critique of Husserlean approach to language in phenomenology, first of all in the ‘middle’ and ‘late’ periods of Husserlean works since Ideas I. Fink was Husserl’s student and assistant and, also, he was influenced by Heidegger’s ideas. In his works he criticized insufficient attention and unworked position to language in Husserl’s works. He believed that language is very important to the whole theory of phenomenology, that we cannot carry out true phenomenological reduction without clarifying what language is, how it is related to our thinking, is it possible to think without language and is it possible to carry out a complete phenomenological reduction.
