Hexaploid and decaploid races of the parthenogenetic Japanese weevil

The chromosomes of the Japanese weevil, Catapionus gracilicornis Roelofs have been investigated in Aomori Prefecture. Both hexaploid (6x=63) and decaploid (lOx=100) parthenogenetic races were found in Temma. The species is now known to have six parthenogenetic races, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, and lOx, as well as a diploid bisexual race. It was shown that pentaploid forms arose from hexaploid forms as I stated in 1980. In my former papers I reported that the Japanese weevil species Catapionus gracilicornis Roelof s had four cytologically distinct parthenogenetic races as well as a diploid bisexual race (2n = 22). The parthenogenetic races are a diploid with 22 chromosomes, a triploid with 33 chromosomes, a tetraploid with 44 chromosomes and a pentaploid with 55 chromosomes. Tetraploid and pentaploid races coexist in Aomori, Akita and Iwate Prefectures, situated in the northern part of Japan (Takenouchi 1966, 1970, 1976a, 1980a, 1982a). I have continued a cytological survey of this species in Aomori Prefecture and have found two additional parthenogenetic races of this species with different chromosome numbers. They represent higher degrees of polyploidy than the ones that have been reported thus far. This paper reports the details. 136 females of Catapionus gracilicornis were collected in Temma, Aomori Prefecture, on May 28, 1981. Their chromosomes were checked in early cleavage metaphase in squash preparation as usual (Takenouchi, et al. 1981). The chromosome count succeeded in 58 females: 31 were tetraploid (53.4%), 26 pentaploid (44.8%), and a single hexaploid (1.7%). The hexaploid specimen gave rise to 3 embryos having more than 60 chromosomes, respectively, and a single embryo with 55 chromosomes. The former embryos were hexaploid and the last embryo undoubtedly a pentaploid. This fact shows that the pentaploid animal was derived from the hexaploid as I stated earlier (Takenouchi 1980). The appearance of the pentaploid individual among the offspring
Understanding Permutation Symmetry

\noindent In our contribution to this volume we deal with \emph{discrete} symmetries: these are symmetries based upon groups with a discrete set of elements (generally a set of elements that can be enumerated by the positive integers). In physics we find that discrete symmetries frequently arise as `internal', non-spacetime symmetries. Permutation symmetry is such a discrete symmetry arising as the mathematical basis underlying the statistical behaviour of ensembles of certain types of indistinguishable quantum particle (e.g., fermions and bosons). Roughly speaking, if such an ensemble is invariant under a permutation of its constituent particles (i.e., permutation symmetric) then one doesn't `count' those permutations which merely `exchange' indistinguishable particles; rather, the exchanged state is identified with the original state. This principle of invariance is generally called the `indistinguishability postulate' [IP], but we prefer to use the term `permutation invariance' [PI]. It is this symmetry principle that is typically taken to underpin and explain the nature of (fermionic and bosonic) quantum statistics (although, as we shall see, this characterisation is not uncontentious), and it is this principle that has important consequences regarding the metaphysics of identity and individuality for particles exhibiting such statistical behaviour.
A review on crowd detection and counting using a static and dynamic platform

Automated object detection and crowd density estimation are popular and important topics in visual surveillance research area. The last decades witnessed many significant publications in this field and it has been and still is a challenging problem for automatic visual surveillance. The ever increase in research of the field of crowd dynamics and crowd motion necessitates a detailed and updated survey of different techniques and trends in this field. This paper presents a survey on crowd detection and crowd density estimation from moving platform and surveys the different methods employed for this purpose. This review category and delineates several detections and counting estimation methods that have been applied for the examination of scenes from static and moving platforms.
RSSI Localization: A Study to Found Targeted Social Engineering Victim Using 4 Dollar Wireless Device

—Social engineering is a common method to collect more information from victim trough socialization. This method employs human psychology to manipulate other people. In cyber society today, the attacker could use various methods to tapping into victim smartphone, and after that the attacker can get victim persona profiling information. The attacker can select random victim and then using wireless localization methods, the attacker could found its victim. After the random victim has been found the attacker can start social engineering directly to the victim based on persona profiling information, to gain trust and more personal information that can lead inflicting damage to the victim. In this paper, we demonstrate to localize victim using green obaidat calibrate Path loss Propagation models and $4 dollar device based on victim Smartphone RSSI Wi-Fi Signal. With this device we could localize a person within 15 meter with just only 0.64 dbm in difference between our RSSI measurement and simulation.
A 65-kD subunit of active NF-KB is required for inhibition of NF-KB by IKB

The NF-KB transcription factor was affinity-purified from deoxycholate (DOC)-treated cytosol of HeLa cells and shown to contain both a 50-kD polypeptide (p50) with a DNA-binding specificity identical to that of nuclear NF-KB and a 65-kD protein (p65) lacking DNA binding activity, Electrophoretically purified p50, after renaturation, gave rise to a protein-DNA complex that migrated faster than that made by native N F K B . Reconstitution of p50 and p65 together produced a protein that combined with DNA to form a complex with electrophoretic mobility indistinguishable from that of the complex formed by nuclear extracts and D O C treated cytosolic fractions. Sedimentation and gel filtration analyses indicate thats alone, the p50 protein exists as a dimer; two molecules of p65 bind to it to form a heterotetramer. Unlike IKB, the specific inhibitor of N F KB, p65 displayed no inhibitor activity and was not released from NF-KB by DOC. p65 did not change the DNA binding specificity or the stimulatory effect of GTP on the p50 homodimer. Surprisingly, NF-KB could only be inactivated by IKB when p65 was bound. It would appear that one function of p65 is to make NF-KB susceptible to inhibition by IKB.
Effect of combining two genes for partial resistance to Barley yellow dwarf virus- PAV (BYDV-PAV) derived from Thinopyrum intermedium in wheat

In this study two sources of resistance to Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV), both originating from Thinopyrum intermedium , were combined in a single genotype, line ZT, using GISH (genomic in situ hybridization) and a new molecular marker of the partial resistance gene Bdv2 . Susceptible wheat cv. Sunstar, the translocation line TC14 carrying Bdv2 , the addition line ZH with the group-2 chromosome arm carrying resistance, and line ZT with both resistances were inoculated with ﬁve strains of Barley yellow dwarf virus -PAV. The tests conﬁrmed the resistance of TC14 and ZH and revealed an additive effect of the two sources of resistance in ZT. The resistance of line ZT was characterized by a proportion of infected plants signiﬁcantly lower than the parental lines TC14 and ZH (42% vs. a mean of 76% for the parents) and a very low virus titre (area under the virus concentration progress curve of 1 Æ 2 vs. a mean on 6 Æ 3 for the parents).
Reproductivechallengesfacing the cattle industry at the beginningof the 21st century

The aim of this review is to pinpoint the areas that require further research for greatest impact to improve the efficiency of dairy and beef production. Increased knowledge about the principal causes of reduced fertility is essential. Increases in milk yield have been at the expense of reduced fertility in dairy cows and although diet has a major impact, the precise interaction between nutrition and reproduction still needs to be characterized in both beef and dairy cows. Furthermore, during periods of inadequate nutrition or stress, the intensity of oestrus is reduced by inadequate exposure to oestradiol. However, it is still unclear which pheromones are involved at oestrus, how synthesis is controlled and how pheromones are detected in herd-mates. GnRH may be involved in behaviour but the brain centres that translate hormonal messages are unknown. Attempts to overcome poor oestrous detection include measurements of milk progesterone, telemetric pressure detectors and devices that record the extra activity at oestrus. Substitution of heat detection by 'hormone treatment remedies' has met strong consumer resistance in Europe. The creation of larger cattle units and increased movements world-wide render herds more susceptible to infectious agents, such as Neospora, Leptospira, Trypanosoma and Bovine Viral Diarrhoea virus (BVDv), but it is unclear how other clinical conditions, such as lameness or endometritis, also interfere with ovarian function. The future of dominant follicles selected within 14 days after parturition is crucial —normal ovulation, prolonged persistence or atresia. Calving carries the greatest risk in the reproductive life of a cow and yet little work has focused on reducing the frequency of this event. For dairy cows, a greater understanding about induced or extended lactation is required. For beef animals, precise induction of twinning and nutritional adjustments could produce two offspring per pregnancy. At the start of pregnancy, the trophoblast produces interferon to prevent luteolysis, but the immunological implications are unknown and it is not clear how the rest of pregnancy is maintained.

Novas ocorrências de corais azooxantelados (Anthozoa, Scleractinia) na plataforma e talude continental do sul do Brasil (25-34 o S)

New records of azooxanthellate corals (Anthozoa, Scleractinia) from the southern Brazilian continental shelf and slope. This study presents the records of Madrepora oculata Linnaeus, 1758, Solenosmilia variabilis Duncan, 1873, and Trochocyathus laboreli Cairns, 2000, for the southern Brazilian continental shelf and slope, and the extension of the occurrence of Lophelia pertusa (Linnaeus, 1758). All specimens were collected in Parana, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul states (125-822 m deep). These species had only been recorded previously on the southeastern, northeastern and northern coasts of Brazil, and L. pertusa had only recently been recorded around Parana state. Description, distribution and illustration are given. A short discussion on the ecological importance of the colonial species is provided.
Obesidade abdominal e risco cardiovascular: desempenho de indicadores antropométricos em mulheres

FUNDAMENTO: Los indicadores antropometricos de obesidad abdominal (OABD) estiman la cantidad de tejido adiposo visceral, que a su vez esta asociado a un mayor riesgo de desarrollo de enfermedad cardiovascular. En las ultimas decadas, hubo un aumento de la OABD en la poblacion femenina brasilena, constituyendo un gran problema de salud publica. OBJETIVO: Evaluar el desempeno de diferentes puntos de corte del indice de conicidad (indice C), de la relacion cintura-cadera (RCC), de la circunferencia de cintura (CC) y de la relacion cintura-estatura (RCEst) para discriminar riesgo coronario elevado (RCE) en mujeres. METODOS: Un estudio transversal realizado en Feira de Santana, Bahia, con 270 funcionarias de una universidad publica con edades entre 30-69 anos. El analisis de la sensibilidad y especificidad, realizada por medios de las curvas ROC, permitio identificar y comparar los mejores puntos de corte para discriminar el RCE, calculado en base el puntaje de riesgo de Framingham. RESULTADOS: Los puntos de corte encontrados fueron: CC = 86 cm, RCC = 0,87, indice C = 1,25 y RCEst = 0,55, siendo respectivamente, las areas bajo la curva ROC de 0,70 (IC95% = 0,63-0,77), 0,74 (IC95% = 0,67-0,81), 0,76 (IC95% = 0,70-0,83) y 0,74 (IC95% = 0,67-0,81). Los indicadores antropometricos de OABD analizados presentaron desempenos satisfactorios y semejantes para discriminar el RCE. No obstante, indice C fue el indicador que presento el mejor poder discriminatorio. CONCLUSION: Se espera que estos resultados contribuyan para cuantificar mejor la OABD en la poblacion femenina brasilena, proporcionando informaciones para que los profesionales de la salud actuen en la prevencion de esta condicion clinica multifactorial, evitando el surgimiento de las enfermedades cardiovasculares.
Oil Price, Stock Price, and Economic Activity: Evidence from China and Japan

This paper empirically investigates the dynamic relationship between the three variables of oil price, stock price, and real economic activity in China and Japan. We execute this approach based on a monthly time series from 1992:1 to 2008:9 and using a vector autoregressive (VAR) model with cointegration and variance decomposition analysis. The results of the cointegration analysis suggest that there is no long-run equilibrium relationship among oil price, stock price, and real economic activity in either China or in Japan. Moreover, the results of variance decomposition analysis in the short run have shown that there is lack of evidence to confirm that there is a close relationship among real economic activity, stock price and oil price either in China or in Japan. These findings tend to indicate that oil price and stock price are not important factors of economic activity in China and Japan. 摂南経済研究 第 1巻 第 1・2号 (2011) ― ― 80
THE FLOW OF SOCIAL MEDIA ON THE SUBJECT OF... López Marcos, Casandra

Since the origin of the Internet in the late 60’s with ARPAnet (Gromov, 1995; Braman, 2011; and Lukasik, 2011), this digital environment gradually started to gain social space. However it was with the appearance of social media -such as Facebook and Twitterwhen it was truly a turning point (Carrera et al., 2012; Casero-Ripollés, 2013; Farrel, 2013; Kietzman et al., 2011; Masip et al., 2010; Pérez-Latre, 2011). In the last few years, has been widely discussed how the emergence of social media and its subsequent profound evolutions have served to dramatically widen the range of journalistic practices (Benevuto et al., 2009; Canavilhas, 1 Casandra López Marcos has a Ph.D. in Communication with European award and received a unanimous Summa Cum Laude for her thesis. In 2018, she was given the Extraordinary Doctorate Prize. She also holds a degree in Journalism. She currently works as Communication Director at Next International Business School. Previously, she has worked in different communication department such as Spanish Congress and has worked in different media both nationally (Onda Cero, Antena Neox, La Voz de Galicia, among others) and local (Valdemorohoy, ZigZag , CEO of Portaldelsur, Onda Madrid). She specializes in social networks, political communication, institutional communication and corporate communication. THE FLOW OF SOCIAL MEDIA ON THE SUBJECT OF. López Marcos, Casandra REDMARKA IMARKA-Universidad de A Coruña – CIECID Año XI, Número 21, (2018), vol. pp. 193-227 http://www.redmarka. net/ ISSN 1852-2300 194 2011; Chadwick, 2011; Del Fresno et al., 2014; Domingo, 2006; Elola, 2010; Feenstra and Casero-Ripollés, 2012; Gallagher, 2014; Kerrigan and Graham, 2010; Lee and Ma, 2012; Meyer, 2012; Schulz, 2004; Waters et al. 2010; Wilson, 2008). However, what has not been demonstrated is to what extent Facebook and Twitter –the most popular social media platforms– have impacted among political processes and also how media outlets have dealt with this. In order to determine it, a comparative study-review has been carried out which deals with journalism and social media during two political processes which underwent intense media exposure: the Scottish Referendum (September, 2014) and the Catalonian Sovereignty Consultation (November, 2014). Through a literature review in this research the main features of both political processes (Scottish and Catalonian) are going to be explained: what happened in Scotland and in Catalonia; how the behaviour of the audience was and what they searched for on social media; the flow of messages on Twitter and Facebook and how the media outlets dealt with those events on social media and finally, what are the political media systems upon which Catalonia and Scotland are based.
Influences and outcomes of outsourcing: Insights from the industry

This paper presents findings from an analysis of the experiences of three UK telecommunications companies that have embarked upon extensive outsourcing. Transaction cost economics and the resource-based view were used to derive a theoretical framework to determine the key influences on the outsourcing process and the outsourcing outcomes in the three case companies. The findings have shown that those companies that developed collaborative relationships with their suppliers achieved higher levels of success with outsourcing. The findings challenge some of the prescriptions of transaction cost economics in relation to outsourcing, particularly in the area of inter-organisational collaboration. The findings have also challenged the value of the core/non-core logic as a basis for outsourcing. Furthermore, the research has identified the influence of political motivations on outsourcing as an important area for further research.
Comparison of the antioxidant effects of Concord grape juice flavonoids and -tocopherol on markers of oxidative stress in

Background: Concord grape juice (CGJ) is a rich source of flavonoids, which have greater antioxidant efficacy in vitro than does � -tocopherol; however, the efficacies of flavonoids and � -tocopherol in vivo have not been compared. Objective: We compared the in vivo antioxidant efficacy of CGJ with that of � -tocopherol in healthy adults. Design: Subjects were randomly assigned to receive either 400 IU RRR-� -tocopherol/d ( n= 17) or 10 mL CGJ · kg � 1 ·d � 1 ( n= 15) for 2 wk. Serum oxygen radical absorbance capacity, plasma protein carbonyls, urinary F2-isoprostanes, and resistance of LDL to ex vivo oxidation were measured before and after supplementation as markers of antioxidant status and oxidative stress. Results: After supplementation, plasma � -tocopherol increased 92% in subjects who received � -tocopherol (P < 0.001); plasma total and conjugated phenols increased 17% (P < 0.01) and 22% (P < 0.001), respectively, in subjects who received CGJ. There was a significant change in plasma triacylglycerols in both groups, but the concentrations were within the normal range. CGJ supplementation was associated with significantly higher triacylglycerols than was � -tocopherol supplementation. Both supplementation regimens significantly increased serum oxygen radical absorbance capacity (P < 0.001) and LDL lag time (P < 0.001) and significantly decreased the LDL oxidation rate (P < 0.01), with no significant difference in effectiveness. Protein carbonyl concentrations in native plasma decreased 20% after CGJ supplementation, which was a significantly different response than that after � -tocopherol supplementation (P < 0.05). Conclusions: In healthy adults, 10 mL CGJ · kg � 1 ·d � 1 increased serum antioxidant capacity and protected LDL against oxidation to an extent similar to that obtained with 400 IU � -tocopherol/d but decreased native plasma protein oxidation significantly more than did � -tocopherol. CGJ flavonoids are potent antioxidants that may protect against oxidative stress and reduce the risk of free radical damage and chronic diseases. Am J Clin Nutr 2002;76:1367‐74.
Sensory profile of minimally processed Jambu Perfil sensorial da Jambu minimalmente processada

Jambu is a largely consumed vegetable in typical recipes of the northern region of Brazil. However, its consumption requires a preparation that takes time and labor. Thus, the minimum processing of jambu might solve this problem, offering convenience and practicality. In order for this product to succeed, its sensory characteristics must be maintained, since the appearance is the first attribute at the time of product acquisition. This research had the objective to perform a descriptive sensorial profile of the minimally processed jambu. The freshly harvested jambu was transported to the laboratory and processed. Afterwards, a microbiological evaluation was performed. Sensory evaluation was performed through a descriptive sensory profile. A team of 9 trained judges evaluated the jambu at different times (0, 4, 8 and 12 days) of storage at 5 oC. The microbiological results were within the standards recommended by the current legislation. Among ten attributes, color, toughness, acid taste, salty taste, bitter taste and numbness did not suffer significant influence (p>0.05) of time, while odor, darkening, surface moisture and overall appearance suffered a significant effect (p<0.05) of time. The shelf life of minimally processed jambu was considered to be 9 days, according to microbiological parameters and overall appearance.
ANTHROPOLOGY AND ETHNOGRAPHY Ethnography in ancient Japan: a theoretical essay about Kinship “IDO MOVEMENT FOR CULTURE. Journal of Martial Arts Anthropology”,

house. for the house. house is the gate is passed. Abstract Background. This article refers to a line from my field research in Japan from 2012 to 2015, being a stage reference for my PhD in Social Anthropology and aims to relate some ethnographic facts collected with practitioners of Japanese swordsmanship (Kendo) - among them, Japanese and non Japanese – through the relationships made in the dōjō (the training places) . The aim is to make an analogy between the notion of house within anthropological theory that remains an important practical concept for building a kinship and the studied case. By kinship and relatedness we understand the ways to make relatives, or an analytical mode for their mutual relations. ‘Relatives’ here have a more free sense, as ways of making relationship without implying human reproduction. In short, we use the training hall as the unit of analysis with the notion of House that tells us about building a kinship beyond blood. The plan is to relate some facts about the fieldwork, which operate in the concepts of hierarchy , family and Dōjō in a relationship with the notion of House, trying to build a model of interpretation. Aim. To build a model of interpretation based on the concept of House, since it looks like a suitable proposition. Methods. I used the following materials: bibliographic, structured forms, semi-structured interviews and conversations in Dōjō, and the method was ethnography , or the living experience of data research. The ethnographi c fieldwork was conducted in Brazil (2007-2011) and Japan (2012-2013). In Japan, we conducted ethnography in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Kanagawa Ken and Ibaraki Ken. The data collection was structured in the form of questionnaires, semi-structured interviews and informal conversations, collected in Japan with Kendo practitioners of all possible nationalities. The questionnaires were applied at Kendo events or training sessions or sent by Facebook and email. Results and Conclusions. A new discussion about the anthropology of Kinship using a new analytical framework regarding he concepts of Hierarchy, House and Ie (Japanese House).
