Limited mitochondrial DNA polymorphism in North American populations of Heliothis virescens (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) restriction-site variability was surveyed in geographically divergent collections of tobacco budworm, Heliothis virescens (F.). Two types of mtDNA analysis were employed, total DNA was digested with restriction enzymes and Southern blots probed with labeled purified mtDNA, and polymerase chain reaction amplified portions of the mtDNA (16S ribosomal DNA and the COI-COII regions) were subjected to digestion with restriction enzymes and the fragments visualized directly. Individuals from four locations in the United States and Mexico were used (Georgia, California, and two in Sonora). Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was also used on a smaller number of individuals from Tennessee, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas. For the total mtDNA, 11 restriction enzymes cleaved ≈65 sites. Seven restriction enzymes cleaved ≈30 restriction sites using PCRRFLP. Seven haplotypes were identified with each technique. Haplotype 1 (total mtDNA) comprised 85% of individuals. The other six haplotypes were found only once or twice. Haplotype 1 (PCR) was found in 91% of the individuals. The other five haplotypes were rare. Population distributions show that the rare haplotypes are scattered among the geographical locations. No major geographically distinct populations were discovered. This suggests that the overall population passed through a bottleneck and expanded from a small population in recent evolutionary history, or that it annually expands from a common reservoir population, or that incoming migrants breed freely with those that may have overwintered locally, or a combination of the three. The findings are consistent with the reported migratory nature of the species, distribution of morphometric types in the western hemisphere, and a survey of enzymatic polymorphisms in the southern United States.
Efficacy of self-examination therapy in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder

To determine the efficacy of self-examination therapy in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder, 38 adults volunteered for a study in which they were randomly assigned to self-examination therapy or to a delayed-treatment group. Analyses indicated that participants in self-examination therapy had significantly fewer symptoms of anxiety than did participants in the delayed-treatment group on the outcome measures of this study, which included ratings by trained clinicians and participants. The reduction in anxiety for people receiving self-examination therapy was maintained 3 months after treatment ended. The delayed-treatment group also showed significant improvement in anxiety symptoms after receiving self-examination therapy.
Study of Rock Fracture by Permeability Method

The permeability of sandstone was measured in triaxial tests. Within the range of confining pressures used here, permeability as a function of differential stress was found to decrease until a minimum value was reached at about 60–70% of the fracture strength, i.e., at a stress that lies between the crack-initiation stress and the stress corresponding to the volumetric strain reversal. Thereafter, permeability started to rise, and at about 85–90% of the fracture strength its rate of increase was greater. The permeability method was not sensitive enough to mark the point of crack initiation and the onset of crack coalescence. However, differential stress versus volumetric strain curves were, in general, similar to differential stress versus permeability curves. Thus, the permeability method can be successfully used to study the fracture mechanism of rocks.
Essential oil products have both a direct and a fumigant effect on reducing serrated tussock seed germination

Essential oil products derived from pine trees and oranges were assessed for germination effects on seeds of serrated tussock in a three-replicate randomised complete block Petri dish trial. The trial compared pine oil, orange oil and a commercial orange essential oil extract (Haulage-DC) applied at concentrations of 0%, 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.25%, 1.25% 2.5% and 6.0% in direct and indirect (fumigant) dose response applications. The trial also assessed the fumigant effects of the pine oil on seed germination by periodically removing Petri dish seals at 1, 3, 5 and 7 days after application. Compared with the untreated control, 0.25% or greater concentrations of essential oil products applied directly to serrated tussock seeds reduced germination by more than 90%. Fumigant effects of pine oil and orange oil products, but not Haulage-DC, reduced serrated tussock germination by 91% or more when applied at concentrations of 1.25% or above. An assessment of sequential opening of Petri dish seals to release pine oil vapours did not reveal any changes in seed germination, suggesting that vapour effects may occur within the first day of treatment. The results indicate that essential oils could be used to destroy seed banks of unpalatable grasses without the need to initiate the germination process in all seeds.
An equivalence test for comparing DNA sequences

The practice of sequence alignment is constantly oscillating between the risk of overlooking important structure and that of discovering any arbitrarily defined kind of structure anywhere. On the other hand, the use of a condensed consensus sequence may lead to a substantial loss in valuable information. While adopting a Mahalanobis‐type index we allow for a certain degree of uncertainty in the measurements. This uncertainty may be caused by inaccurate measurements or ambiguity.
Implicancias de las diferencias en el tamaño corporal entre colonias para el uso de medidas morfométricas como método de sexado en Spheniscus magellanicus

Cinco medidas morfométricas fueron tomadas en adultos reproductivos anillados en la colonia de nidificación de Cabo Vírgenes. Los sexos de las hembras fueron corroborados por dilatación de la cloaca durante el período de postura de los huevos. Utilizando análisis discriminante se determinó qué variable es más útil para discriminar sexos. Los valores promedio de las variables medidas fueron comparados con los obtenidos por Scolaro (1983) para la colonia de nidificación de Punta Tombo. Los individuos resultaron ser significativamente más pequeños que en Punta Tombo. siendo las medidas del pico las que mejor discriminan entre sexos para ambas colonias, pero con diferentes umbrales.
Cytogenetics of the Indian Jasmines

The karyotypes of four varieties of J. sambac and eight species were studied. The chromosomes in all the species show sub-median and sub-terminal constrictions besides being small and almost alike. The karyotype of the simple leaved species bears close resemblance to the trifoliolates than to those of the imparipinnately compound ones. In the sambacs, two groups of plants are recognized one with elliptic leaves and conical buds and another with ovate leaves and globose buds. The elliptic leaved group has longer set of chromosomes than the ovate leaved.The nucleolus was found to persist throughout mitosis in all the species and its behaviour has been described. This feature appears to be a specific character.The number of prochromosomes attached to the nucleolus at late prophase of mitosis and the number of nucleoli observed at early telophase suggest that the 26 chromosomed plants are in the nature of allotetraploids and J. angustifolium (2n: 52) an allooctoploid. J. sambac var. gunduinalli (2n: 39) and J. flexile (2n: 52) are in the nature of autopolyploids. Thus both allopolyploidy and autopolyploidy appear to have played a role in the evolution of the jasminums.
Application of heat pump systems for energy conservation in paper drying

Drying is one of the most energy intensive and common operations in the chemical and process industries. Scope for energy recovery is substantial, particularly from the latent heat of the exhaust moist air. Using real operating data from a major Swedish mill, optimal energy conservation strategies were investigated using different heat pump systems in paper drying. Simulation results are compared for compressor-driven and absorption heat pump systems. An absorption heat transformer was also investigated. A CH3OH-LiBr double-lift cycle would have a low COP value due to the low temperature of the moist air stream and the restricted temperature of the cooling water available. A total of 30 MW thermal equivalent is currently needed in the mill at a temperature of 75 degrees C for mixing-pits, district heating and a log store. Exhaust humid air at a temperature of 54 degrees C from only three of the paper machines was used in this study. SHPUMP simulations revealed that installing a mechanical heat pump unit using HFC 134a would result in a recovery of 22 MW due to the temperature level of this application. On the other hand, 12 MW can be recovered with an absorption heat pump. To optimize the operating conditions, H2O-NaOH was selected as the best of three based on exergy index criteria. Assuming a steam cost of 22 $/MW h and an electricity cost of 32 $/MW h, the pay-off periods would be 3.3 and 2.9 years for compressor-driven and absorption heat pump alternatives, respectively.

Psychological preparedness for pandemic (COVID-19) management: Perceptions of nurses and nursing students in India

Introduction: The growing COVID-19 pandemic has posed a great threat to millions of people worldwide. Nurses and nursing students are an important group of health professionals who are most likely to face many challenges in this unprecedented scenario. The present study aimed at exploring the perception of nurses and nursing students regarding psychological preparedness for the pandemic (COVID-19) management. Materials & Methods: The study employed a quantitative cross-sectional online survey research design. Purposive sampling was used with an attempt to represent the entire nurses (i.e. nursing officers, nurse administrators and nursing teachers) and nursing students group of India. The survey link was shared to their email ID and they were invited to participate in the study. Data were collected using Psychological Preparedness for Disaster Threat Scale (PPDTS)-Modified, General Self Efficacy (GSE) Scale, Optimism Scale and Brief Resilient Coping Scale (BRS). Totally 685 responses were received and 676 forms were completed which were analyzed using SPSS software (version 24). Results: The mean age of the subjects was 31.72 (SD=9.58) years. Around 20% of the subjects previously had some kind of psychological training and 4% of the subjects had taken care of persons with COVID-19. Findings revealed that mean score for PPDTS, GSE, BRCS and Optimism was 73.44 (SD=10.82, 33.19 (SD=5.23), 16.79 (SD=2.73) and 9.61 (SD=2.26) respectively indicating that the subjects had moderate level of psychological preparedness, self-efficacy and resilience but higher level of optimism. Psychological preparedness, self-efficacy, optimism and resilience were positively correlated to each other. Self- efficacy, optimism, and resilience emerged as predictors of psychological preparedness. Conclusion: The findings suggested that self-efficacy, optimism and resilience can be considered as predictors for psychological preparedness in pandemic management. Appropriate training could influence self-efficacy while programs addressing resilience and coping may strengthen psychological preparedness which can help in further management of ongoing pandemic.
The Transcript Profile Changes With Developmental Maturation of Fetal Lung Type 2 Cells: An Analysis of RNAseq Data

In this paper, we utilize next-generation sequencing (NGS) data from the LungMap project [1] to identify and characterize the developmental RNA transcriptome in alveolar epithelial type II (AT2) cells of embryonic mouse lungs of gestational ages embryonic days 16 (E16) and 18 (E18). Late gestation lung cellular maturation is necessary for survival at birth [4]. Using R and the BioConductor packages for RNAseq analysis, we analyze changes in the mouse lung AT2 cell RNA transcriptome as this maturation process takes place. We particularly identify the cluster of genes whose expression changes markedly between immature (E16) and mature (E18) lungs which can be used to define cell pathways that appear critical for the maturation process. Our results show that there are 98 differentially expressed genes with 82 genes where differences in counts cannot be attributed to difference in sample origin. We were surprised to identify substantial differences in RNA expression between two experienced lab groups that use identical protocols.
High-Pass $\Sigma \Delta$ Converter Design Using a State-Space Approach and Its Application to Cardiac Signal Acquisition

Cardiac signal acquisition with high linearity and accuracy of the high-pass cut-off frequency imposes a challenge on the implementation of the analog preprocessing and the analog-to-digital converter. This paper describes a state-space-based methodology for designing high-pass sigma-delta (HP<inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX"> $\Sigma \Delta$</tex-math></inline-formula>) topologies with high linearity, targeting high accuracy of the high-pass cut-off frequency. Intermediate functions are evaluated mathematically to compare the proposed HP<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\Sigma \Delta$</tex-math></inline-formula> topologies with respect to dynamic range. A sensitivity performance analysis of the noise transfer function with respect to integrator nonidealities and coefficient variations is also described.

Non-Equilibration in Island Theory of Krakatau

A division of opinion is apparent among researchers investigating the colonization of the Krakatau Islands, Indonesia, concerning the applicability of the Equilibrium Theory of Island Biogeography (see: Thornton, Zann & van Balen, this volume). In order to clarify our position in this debate, we first highlight some of the key limitations of the theory and subsequently present a model which incorporates some of the important ecological features lacking from the original models. Our model allows for differing outcomes depending on the life history characteristics and position in the ecological hierarchy of the taxa considered, and depending on frequency and degree of disturbance to the ecosystem: such that interactive equilibria, non-interactive equilibria or disequilibria may each be possible.
Sequential inversion of GOCE satellite gravity gradient data and terrestrial gravity data for the lithospheric density structure in the North China Craton

Abstract. The North China Craton (NCC) is one of the oldest cratons in the world. Currently, the destruction mechanism and geodynamics of the NCC remain controversial. All of the proposed views regarding the issues involve studying the internal density structure of the NCC lithosphere. Gravity field data are among the most important data in regard to investigating the lithospheric density structure, and gravity gradient data and gravity data each possess their own advantages. Given the different observational plane heights between the on-orbit GOCE (Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Circulation Explorer) satellite gravity gradient and terrestrial gravity and the effects of the initial density model on the inversion results, sequential inversion of the gravity gradient and gravity are divided into two integrated processes. By using the preconditioned conjugate gradient (PCG) inversion algorithm, the density data are calculated using the preprocessed corrected gravity anomaly data. Then, the newly obtained high-resolution density data are used as the initial density model, which can serve as constraints for the subsequent gravity gradient inversion. Several essential corrections are applied to the four gravity gradient tensors (Txx, Txz, Tyy, Tzz) of the GOCE satellite, after which the corrected gravity gradient anomalies (T′xx, T′xz, T′yy, T′zz) are used as observations. The lithospheric density distribution result within the depth range of 0–180 km in the NCC is obtained. This study clearly illustrates that GOCE data are helpful in understanding the geological settings and tectonic structures in the NCC with regional scale. The inversion results show that in the crust the eastern NCC is affected by lithospheric thinning with obvious local features. In the mantle, the presented obvious negative-density areas are mainly affected by the high-heat-flux environment. In the eastern NCC, the density anomaly in the Bohai Bay area is mostly attributed to the extension of the Tancheng–Lujiang major fault at the eastern boundary. In the western NCC, the crustal density anomaly distribution of the Qilian block is consistent with the northwest–southeast strike of the surface fault belt, whereas such an anomaly distribution experiences a clockwise rotation to a nearly north–south direction upon entering the mantle.
New experimental vectors of Colombian Trypanosoma rangeli.

The behavior of a Colombian strain of Trypanosoma rangeli was investigated in Rhodnius prolixus, its classical biological vector, and compared with that in 8 other species of Triatominae of the genera Rhodnius and Triatoma. Infections were accomplished by feeding the bugs on infected mice or on suspensions of culture forms, or by inoculation of culture into the hemocoel. The 536 insects used were examined repeatedly and the results were assessed statistically. Intestinal and spontaneous hemolymph infections were observed in all species; invasion of the salivary glands, demonstrated at dissection, by bite transmission, or both, was observed in Rhodnius prolixus (18%), R. neglectus (38%), Triatoma patagonica (11%). T. protracta (7%), and T. infestans (3%), the rates in R. neglectus and T. infestans being statistically higher and lower, respectively, than those in R. prolixus. T. rubrovaria had the highest frequency of hemolymph invasion but the glands were never infected. Parasites were seen in the hemolymph of a high proportion of the insects up to 143 days. Loss of gland infection was observed in 8% of R. prolixus and 20% of R. neglectus, but not in Triatoma spp. The absence of gland infection in T. lecticularius and T. phyllosoma pallidipennis harboring trypanosomes in the gut and hemolymph and the complete absence of infection in T. maculata need reassessment, since the trypanosomes to which these species were exposed were of low infectivity at the time of the experiments. It seems that frequent invasion and high reproduction rate of Trypanosoma rangeli in the hemolymph do not necessarily indicate the capacity of a species to act as vector. To the previously known natural Vectors (R. prolixus, R. pallescens, R. ecuadoriensis and possibly Triatoma dimidiata capitata), must now be added 4 experimental ones: R. neglectus, T. patagonica, T. protracta and T. infestans. Trypanosoma rangeli has not been reported from large areas where these species occur (parts of Brazil, Mexico, the United States and southern South America), perhaps because in the absence of the best known vector, R. prolixus, adequate surveys have not been carried out.
Circulating Tumor Cells and Circulating Tumor DNA in Colorectal Cancer

ABSTRACT Genetic alterations in cancers serve as useful biomarkers in evaluating diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutics. Genotyping tumour biopsies has become a routine practice in clinical oncology; however, it can only provide a spatially and temporally limited snapshot of the tumour achieved through an invasive procedure at a single time point. Circulating tumour cells (CTCs) or cell-free circulating DNA (cfDNA) could allow both qualitative and quantitative insights on disease activity in a non-invasive manner. Such genetic testing in blood is challenging owing to the rarity of the mutant alleles and cells, but advances in diagnostics have allowed strategies for longitudinal monitoring of the genetic landscape of cancer. We review here approaches to investigate these biomarkers in the blood and discuss the corresponding insights lent to diagnostic testing, tumour heterogeneity and therapeutic guidance, with a focus on colorectal cancer.
ALMOST SURE EXPONENTIAL STABILITY OF STOCHASTIC REACTION DIFFUSION SYSTEMS WITH MARKOVIAN JUMP

The stochastic reaction diffusion systems may suffer sudden shocks, in order to explain this phenomena, we use Mar- kovian jumps to model stochastic reaction diffusion systems. In this paper, we are interested in almost sure exponential stability of stochastic reaction diffusion systems with Markovian jumps. Under some reasonable conditions, we show that the trivial solution of sto- chastic reaction diffusion systems with Markovian jumps is almost surely exponentially stable. An example is given to illustrate the theory.
HydrothermalFoam v1.0: a 3-D hydro-thermo-transport model for natural submarine hydrothermal systems

Herein, we introduce HydrothermalFoam, a threedimensional hydro-thermo-transport model designed to resolve fluid flow within submarine hydrothermal circulation systems. HydrothermalFoam has been developed on the OpenFOAM platform, which is a finite-volume-based C++ toolbox for fluid-dynamic simulations and for developing customized numerical models that provides access to stateof-the-art parallelized solvers and to a wide range of preand post-processing tools. We have implemented a porous media Darcy flow model with associated boundary conditions designed to facilitate numerical simulations of submarine hydrothermal systems. The current implementation is valid for single-phase fluid states and uses a pure-water equation of state (IAPWS-97). We here present the model formulation; OpenFOAM implementation details; and a sequence of 1D, 2-D, and 3-D benchmark tests. The source code repository further includes a number of tutorials that can be used as starting points for building specialized hydrothermal flow models. The model is published under the GNU General Public License v3.0.
