A visual survey for small non-stellar objects in the galactic plane on POSS II - Results of nineteen fields at

A systematic search by microscope for non-stellar objects on POSS II R film copies in a part of the northern galactic plane has led to the detection of about 3 500 objects. The vast majority are obscured galaxies, most of which are new. We present coordinates and optical diameters of these galaxy candidates, list coincidences with objects in optical and infrared catalogues and discuss their distribution along the galactic plane.
CONTAMINATION POTENTIAL OF SPECIFIC IONS IN SOIL TREATED WITH REJECT BRINE FROM DESALINATION PLANTS

As colunas de percolacao, construidas em Laboratorio, podem predizer o grau de contaminacao nos solos receptores do rejeito da dessalinizacao da agua, podendo ser uma ferramenta de prevencao a impactos ambientais. O presente trabalho objetivou avaliar a mobilizacao de ions presentes nos rejeitos salinos proveniente do processo de dessalinizacao das aguas salobras. A mobilizacao dos ions contaminante no rejeito salino foi estudada em colunas de percolacao construida de vidro, as quais foram preenchidas com solos de textura contrastante (CAMBISSOLO Eutrofico, LATOSSOLO Vermelho distrofico, NEOSSOLO Quartzarenico), com tres repeticoes cada, sendo analisada as suas concentracoes inicial e final dos ions contaminantes. Para a avaliacao do potencial de poluicao deste residuo foi determinado o fator de retardamento e o coeficiente de difusao-dispersao dos ions K+, Cl- e Na+ para cada solo estudado. Houve diferenca das curvas de deslocamento dos ions presentes no rejeito salino entre os tipos de solos. O Neossolo apresentou maior velocidade de avanco dos ions K+ e Cl-, ou seja, maior poder de contaminacao em subsuperficie para estes ions. No Latossolo, os ions deslocam-se com maior facilidade e, portanto, maior facilidade de contaminacao do lencol freatico. No Cambissolo houve baixos valores de coeficiente de difusao-dispersao em todos os ions avaliados, ou seja, menor mobilidade dos ions, sendo diretamente influenciados pelos respectivos teores trocaveis.
Modeling of mechanical phenomena in the platinum-chromium coronary stents

This study discusses the geometrical model of a coronary stent with known design and strength analysis using the finite element method. The coronary stent model was made of platinum and chromium alloy. Static analysis based on compression of the coronary stent was also performed. The aim of the analysis was to examine the strength of the stent structure. The study analyzed stresses, plastic strains and displacements after applying a constant load to the stent walls. The mechanical phenomena such as percentage degree of shortening (foreshortening), relative narrowing and area of stent covering were also determined. MSC 2010: 92C10, 74L15, 65
Sustainable Leadership Practices According to International Standards of Corporate Social Responsibility

With this article, we aim to enter the recent debate on sustainable human resource management (SHRM) and its relationships with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). In detail, we deepen, both from the theoretical point of view, the link between sustainable leadership practices and the main international standards of CSR measurement The paper consists of two main parts. The first one presents a literature overview on the sustainable leadership and on its intertwining with CSR. In the second part, an original model of the measurement of sustainable leadership practices—according Global Reporting Initiative—is applied to a business case.
The influence of the genotype upon the in vitro and in vivo growth of greenhouse carnations

Carnations are familiar, widespread, and are among the most popular cut flowers. There is great diversity of greenhouse cultivars belonging to Dianthus caryophyllus L, habitually multiplied through cuttings or micro-propagation. In order to establish whether or not there is a connection between the vigour of the plants technically mature from the greenhouse and their in vitro growth, several traits of greenhouse carnation, grown both in vivo and in vitro were analysed in five cultivars (Polka, Tanga, Dark Tempo, Delphi and Indios). The influence of the genotype upon the vigour of the plants and upon the characteristics of the greenhouse flowers, as well as upon some features of the in vitro growth of the plantlets, was significant. The variability under in vivo conditions ranged from 5.0 to 17.8%, while the characteristics analysed in vitro showed a large span of variability values (s% = 7.9-51.0). Overall, the heritability showed high values for the analysed characteristics, both under in vivo (H 2 = 0.660-0.949) and in vitro (H 2 = 0.502-0.946) conditions. No statistically ensured correlations were recorded between the plant growth under in vivo conditions and of those with the same genotype under in vitro conditions; therefore the greater vigour of some genotypes from the greenhouse did not imply their more accentuated growth in vitro. The cultivars conspicuous for their superior characteristics will be used as genitors within the improvement programmes and also recommended to be tested for inclusion in the Official Catalogue of Plants.
Human Errors in Secure Communication Protocols

We propose a formal model to analyze security protocols with human interaction. We model humans with no knowledge about the protocol and allow an adversary to perform an attack which covers all human errors. We then consider two types of countermeasures. The first type expresses that a human has at least some knowledge about the protocol and will do the known parts correctly. The second type of countermeasures changes a given protocol to be more robust against attacks, such that stronger security properties are achieved with the same assumptions on the human. Further, we introduce hierarchies to compare the human knowledge necessary in different security protocols to achieve the security goals.
Improvement of Voltage Stability MarginUsing SVC

The problem of voltage stability is one of the main concern in the operation of power systems. Voltage stability can be determined by determining the maximum loading point of the system. The estimation of voltage stability at various operating condition is essential to operate the system with sufficient safety margin. The objective of this project is to improve the static voltage stability of the power system using SVC emerging CPF algorithm. The voltages at various buses are calculated and the weak buses are identified to place the FACTS devices to improve the voltage stability margin of the system. The voltage stability limits are analyzed before and after the placement of SVC. The IEEE 9 bus system is considered as the test case for this analysis.
Female colour polymorphism covaries with reproductive strategies in the tawny owl Strix aluco

Variation in coloration with a strong underlying genetic basis is frequently found in birds, insects, anurans, molluscs and plants. Although such a variation can be large, little is known about its functional value. Correlative data, however, can help suggest testable hypotheses about potential covariation between reproductive parameters and a colour polymorphism displayed by individuals belonging to a single population. In this context, we studied two Swiss populations of tawny owls Strix aluco, a polymorphic species that varies in coloration from reddish-brown to grey. Observations in the first population showed that although greyer females had shorter tarsi, they produced heavier offspring in two of three years. Pairing with respect to plumage coloration was not significantly disassortative, indicating that these correlations were probably not inflated by plumage coloration of the mate. In the second population, where breeding females had been monitored for 14 years, the proportion of all breeding females that were reddish-brown was greater in years when the breeding density was lower. Capture-recapture analyses show that the latter result is explained by the fact that greyish females bred less often than reddish-brown females, although their survival probability was similar. The number of greyer breeding females was greater when spring/summer temperatures were lower. When combined, the results from the two populations lend support to the hypothesis that grey females do not breed every year, but produce offspring of higher quality. Whatever the mechanism underlying the correlations reported in this study, colour polymorphism in female tawny owls appears to reflect some components of individual quality.
The Importance of Tourism Motivations Among Sport Event Volunteers at the 2007 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, Stuttgart, Germany

The main aim of this research is to explore the importance of tourism within the motivation of volunteers, focusing on a case study of the 2007 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Stuttgart, Germany. Volunteers have mostly been ignored as a subject of research in almost all fields and there is a need for a deeper understanding of the diverse nature of sport event volunteer tourism. The study on 225 volunteers at the Championships investigated a range of 50 motivations framed by Pearce's (2005) Travel Career Pattern, as well as Snyder's (1993) Volunteer Function Inventory, Farell et al.'s (1998) volunteer classification and Stebbins' (1992) work on serious and project-based leisure. Overall, the results indicated volunteer-based motivations that are generally more important than the tourism-based considerations. The age and gender of the volunteers had an influence on more of the volunteer-based motives compared with tourism. A considerable proportion of volunteers perceived themselves to be a tourist, and there was a desire to further take part in tourism activities, in addition to their volunteering duties, while at the event. Destination managers and volunteer event co-ordinators should be aware that the link to tourism may strategically help to increase commitment and experience satisfaction levels among the volunteers, who are less obvious and thus a potential tourism market.
Mooring observations and numerical modeling of thermal structures in the South China Sea

[1] Three sets of Autonomous Temperature Line Acquisition Systems were deployed in the South China Sea. Gaps aside, the data covered nearly 3 years at the northern station and about 2 years farther south. Fluctuations ranged from episodic to interannual. Internal tides, more diurnal than semidiurnal, were active basinwide. Twelve typhoons passed during measurement periods. The most severe one, typhoon Babs in 1998, caused a temperature drop of over 7°C at 50 m. Despite strong monsoons, only near-surface temperature showed clear seasonal variations. Intraseasonal variations induced by mesoscale eddy stood out much better at subsurface depths. Propagating eddies aside, some eddies were seasonal and nearly stationary. From daily archives of an eddy-resolving, data-assimilating ocean model (East Asian Seas Nowcast/Forecast System), we identified two paradigms leading to the generation of a persistent spring-summer warm eddy in the central-western basin. In normal years, a complete cyclonic gyre was driven by a strong winter northeast monsoon. Water piled up along the periphery of the South China Sea. Afterward, a warm eddy could be generated from west of Luzon Island and propagated westward while intensifying. Under a weak northeast monsoon, such as in El Nino years, piled-up water tended to stay in the southern basin. When the wind relaxed in spring, warm water returned northward to form a warm eddy in the central-western basin. Transition from SW to NE monsoon also often led to a warm eddy generation in southern latitudes, when the summer eastward jet departing from central Vietnam broke up.
Monomer sequence control via living anionic copolymerization : synthesis of alternating, statistical, and telechelic copolymers and sequence analysis by MALDI ToF mass spectrometry.

Diphenylethylene (DPE) is a monomer which has attracted significant interest from both academia and industry. DPE can undergo (co)polymerization by living anionic polymerization but is incapable of forming a homopolymer due to steric hindrance. Herein the copolymerization of DPE and 1,1-bis(4-tert-butyldimethylsiloxyphenyl)ethylene (DPE-OSi) with styrene or butadiene is described in order to produce (functional) copolymers with controlled comonomer sequences—either alternating or telechelic. The copolymer sequences are inherently controlled by relative reactivity ratios, which in turn can be tuned by both monomer structure and the polarity of the polymerization solvent. The compositions of the copolymers prepared in this study were analyzed by 1H NMR spectroscopy and MALDI ToF mass spectrometry, the latter offering a unique opportunity to demonstrate perfect alternating sequences and insight into other sequences such as telechelic polymers.
The Relevance of a Study of a Temperature-sensitive Ballooning Mutant of Aspergillus nidulans Defective in Mannose Metabolism to our Understanding of Mannose as a Wall Component and Carbon/Energy Source

SUMMARY: A temperature-sensitive mutant strain of Aspergillus nidulans has been isolated which failed to grow normally on minimal agar medium at 43 °C unless mannose was supplied as a sole carbon source. The mutant has been given the symbol mnr A455 for mannose relief. Under restrictive conditions (43 °C) the mutant produced extensive areas of swollen hyphae, called balloons, and wall preparations from cultures grown at 40 °C had approximately one-third of the mannose found in walls of control cultures. The mnrA455 strain produced a more thermolabile phosphomannose mutase than the wild-type strain, so it is suggested that the mutation is in the structural gene coding for this enzyme. The mnrA455 strain failed to grow on minimal agar medium containing 0·1% (w/v) mannose and 0·9% (w/v) glucose at 43 °C. This property was used to obtain revertants, one of which was a double mutant mnrA455 manAl. Growth of the double mutant in media containing [14C]mannose at 43 °C showed that 84% of the label found in the wall occurred in mannose in comparison with 33% in the wild-type control. Autoradiography of cultures of the double mutant using [3H]mannose showed predominant incorporation of label into the tip region of growing hyphae. A manAl strain, isolated following haploidization of a diploid, was unable to grow on media containing glucose or mannose alone. The manAl strain had reduced phosphomannose isomerase (EC 5.3.1.8) activity. The manAl mutation, which is epistatic to mnrA455, has been located to linkage group VIII and the mnrA455 mutation to linkage group V. A pathway is presented for the utilization of mannose in A. nidulans.
Chromatin architecture and the orchestration of gene expression: cell systems to explore epigenetic gene control

ethyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) is a chromatin-binding protein involved in the DNA methylation pathway and has been characterized both as a repressor and as a potential activator of transcription. MeCP2 was shown to bind methylated DNA and the epigenetic silencer HP1 and to cause the in vitro compaction of chromatin and the in vivo formation of repressive chromatin loops. Here we show that, remarkably, the in vivo binding of lac repressor-tagged MeCP2 causes extensive decondensation of a lac operatorcontaining chromosomal domain. The C-terminus of MeCP2 is required for the observed chromatin decondensation, excluding involvement of the methylbinding and transcriptional-repression domain. MeCP2-induced chromatin decondensation occurs throughout interphase in the absence of changes in CpG methylation. Strikingly, targeted MeCP2 does not activate the transcription of genes embedded in the decondensed chromosomal domain and, in agreement, causes the repression of a luciferase reporter gene in vivo. Targeting of MeCP2 triggers the release of HP1γ from the array, but not of HP1α and HP1β. Moreover, over-expression of MeCP2 induces an overall increase of HP1γ mobility. We propose a novel role for MeCP2 in reorganizing chromatin structure in order to facilitate changes in gene expression.
Association between the SAT-1 Gene and Suicidal Behavior in Mexican Population

Objective: The gene coding for spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase 1 (SAT-1) participates in the metabolic pathways of polyamines as a rate-limiting enzyme; this gene is involved in regulating polyamine levels and it has been considered a candidate gene for suicidal behavior. The aim of this study was to determine the association between SAT-1 polymorphism A-1537C (rs6526342) and suicidal behavior, in a sample of suicide attempt patients in the Mexican population. Methods: To observe the association between rs6526342 and suicidal behavior, we evaluated 169 unrelated suicide attempters and compared them to 218 non-suicidal individuals. Patients were evaluated by a trained psychiatrist or clinical psychologist. SAT-1 rs6526342 genotypes were analyzed using the polymerase chain reaction end-point method. Results: No significant association was observed between cases and comparison group for allele frequency (p=0.40, df=1, p=0.69). However, a significant association between rs6526342 and suicidal behavior was observed in the male group for allele distribution (χ2=4.0, df=1, p=0.04, OR 0.48; 95% CI: 0.24-0.98), whereas in the female group, no association was found by genotype (χ2= 2.85, df=2, p=0.23) or allele (χ2=0.01, df=1, p=0.91) frequency. Conclusion: Our results showed an association between allele C of the polymorphism in the promoter region of SAT-1 A-1537C (rs6526342) and suicidal behavior in Mexican males. This suggests that the SAT-1 gene may contribute to the risk for suicidal behavior among the Mexican population.
UvA-DARE ( Digital Academic Repository ) Hypothesis driven gene expression profiling in breast cancer

Introduction To tailor local treatment in breast cancer patients there is a need for predicting ipsilateral recurrences after breastconserving therapy. After adequate treatment (excision with free margins and radiotherapy), young age and incompletely excised extensive intraductal component are predictors for local recurrence, but many local recurrences can still not be predicted. Here we have used gene expression profiling by microarray analysis to identify gene expression profiles that can help to predict local recurrence in individual patients. Methods By using previously established gene expression profiles with proven value in predicting metastasis-free and overall survival (wound-response signature, 70-gene prognosis profile and hypoxia-induced profile) and training towards an optimal prediction of local recurrences in a training series, we establish a classifier for local recurrence after breast-conserving therapy. Results Validation of the different gene lists shows that the wound-response signature is able to separate patients with a high (29%) or low (5%) risk of a local recurrence at 10 years (sensitivity 87.5%, specificity 75%). In multivariable analysis the classifier is an independent predictor for local recurrence. Conclusion Our findings indicate that gene expression profiling can identify subgroups of patients at increased risk of developing a local recurrence after breast-conserving therapy. Introduction Breast-conserving therapy (BCT) is a well-established treatment modality for early (stages I and II) breast cancer. The treatment consists of complete surgical excision of the tumor followed by whole breast irradiation. In multiple randomized trials comparing BCT with mastectomy, their equality in overall survival has been shown [1-7]. A large population-based Danish series showed that in different age categories (less than 35 years, 35 to 39 years, 40 to 44 years and 45 to 49 years) of young patients, survival was not negatively influenced by BCT [8]. However, local recurrence rates were significantly higher after BCT than after mastectomy in all series. The standard treatment for a local recurrence is a salvage mastectomy, which negates the original cosmetic intentions of BCT. More importantly, a recent meta-analysis by the Early Breast Cancer Trialists' Collaborative Group showed a negative impact of a local recurrence on survival [9]. They concluded: 'Differences in local treatment that substantially affect local recurrence rates would, in the hypothetical absence of any other causes of death, avoid about one breast cancer death over the next 15 BCT = breast-conserving therapy; DCIS = ductal carcinoma in situ; GSEA = gene set enrichment analysis; PAM = prediction analysis for microarrays.
