Expression of IMP1 Enhances Production of Murine Leukemia Virus Vector by Facilitating Viral Genomic RNA Packaging

Murine leukemia virus (MLV)-based retroviral vector is widely used for gene transfer. Efficient packaging of the genomic RNA is critical for production of high-titer virus. Here, we report that expression of the insulin-like growth factor II mRNA binding protein 1 (IMP1) enhanced the production of infectious MLV vector. Overexpression of IMP1 increased the stability of viral genomic RNA in virus producer cells and packaging of the RNA into progeny virus in a dose-dependent manner. Downregulation of IMP1 in virus producer cells resulted in reduced production of the retroviral vector. These results indicate that IMP1 plays a role in regulating the packaging of MLV genomic RNA and can be used for improving production of retroviral vectors.
Critical success factors associated with the implementation of enterprise risk management

Abstract The present research aimed to identify which critical success factors have the most influence on the implementation of Enterprise Risk Management – ERM, taking into consideration the important mission to ensure the survival, growth, and perpetuity of businesses in an environment with strong technology integration, global competition, and political, cultural, and economic contexts. To achieve this objective, a systematic and structured literature review was conducted, making it possible to identify 10 critical success factors for ERM initiatives that were analyzed and detailed, based on the literature findings and consultation with experts.
Discourse-New Detectors for Definite Description Resolution: A Survey and a Preliminary Proposal

Vieira and Poesio (2000) proposed an algorithm for deﬁnite description ( DD ) resolution that incorporates a number of heuristics for detecting discourse-new descriptions. The inclusion of such detectors was motivated by the observation that more than 50% of deﬁnite descriptions ( DD s) in an average corpus are discourse new (Poesio and Vieira, 1998), but whereas the inclusion of detectors for non-anaphoric pronouns in algorithms such as Lap-pin and Leass’ (1994) leads to clear improvements in precision, the improvements in anaphoric DD resolution (as opposed to classiﬁcation) brought about by the detectors were rather small. In fact, Ng and Cardie (2002a) challenged the motivation for the inclusion of such detectors, reporting no improvements, or even worse performance. We re-examine the literature on the topic in detail, and propose a revised algorithm, taking advantage of the improved discourse-new detection techniques developed by Uryupina (2003).
Shear dispersion

This review of shear dispersion emphasizes that the usual one-dimensional diffusion equation, derived by Taylor [ Proc. R. Sot. London Ser. A 219, 186 ( 1953) 1, is an asymptotic result that is valid only at large time. One route to earlier validity is a systematic wave-number expansion based on the center manifold theorem. This procedure captures much of the early behavior but it does discard exponentially decaying transients. However, in some cases of practical importance, such as tracer release experiments in rivers, the observation of “anomalous diffusion” (i.e., tracer variance growing nonlinearly with time) is at odds with this asymptotic reduction. Alternative approximations and models, which account for exponential transients using a description that is nonlocal in time are reviewed. A secondary theme of this review is the application of shear dispersion to mixing of passive and active scalars in rivers and estuaries. An example is shear dispersion of salt in which the shear flow is created by salinity gradients. Other examples include fixed flux convection.
Beyond Eikonal Scattering in M(atrix)-Theory

We study the problem of more general kinematics for the finite N M(atrix)-Model than the simple straight line motion that has been used before. This is supposed to be related to momentum transferring processes in the dual su- per-gravity description. We find a negative result for classical, perturbative processes and discuss briefly the possibility of instianton like quantum mechanical tunneling processes.
Meditation: A way of complete living

Only a healthy bud can blossom and in the same way, only a healthy being can succeed. In modern lifestyle, an individual has high exposure to anger, hate, fear and other negative emotion. Meditation helps an individual overcome these emotions to facilitate a calm, peaceful mind and healthy and stressfree body. Meditation is any form of a family of practices in which practitioners train their mind or selfinduce a mode of consciousness to realize some benefit. The earlier clear references to the meditation in Hindu literatures are in the middle Upanishads and the Mahabharata, which includes the Bhagavat Gita. According to Gavin Flood, Brhadaranyaka Upanisad refers to meditation when it states that “having becoming calm and concentrated, one perceives self (atman) to oneself”. Meditation is to make our mind calm and peaceful. If our mind is peaceful, we will be free from stress, worries and mental discomfort as well as our body will be healthy. Purpose: The purpose of the present literature is to find out whether meditation makes our mind calm and peaceful and whether it helps to inculcate holistic living. Conclusion: The researchers concluded that the practice of meditation brings coolness to the brain; it is like servicing the whole body and mind complex. Meditation develops happiness, contentment and calmness. It reduces anger, irritation, hate, anxiety, tension and fear. Meditation maintains lower blood pressure, lower the levels the blood lactate, improves immune system, increases body vitality, controls insomnia and increases overall health of the body.

Are you using the right approximate nearest neighbor algorithm?

Many computer vision tasks such as large-scale image retrieval and nearest-neighbor classification perform similarity searches using Approximate Nearest Neighbor (ANN) indexes. These applications rely on the quality of ANN retrieval for success. Popular indexing methods for ANN queries include forests of kd-trees (KDT) and hierarchical k-means (HKM). The dominance of these two methods has led to implementations in many popular computer vision tool kits, perhaps leading some to assume that ANN indexing is a solved problem. This paper introduces a new method, the Proximity Forest, which is based on a forest of randomized metric trees. We present evidence that forests of metric trees significantly outperform KDT and HKM when evaluated on real-world data, controlling for dimensionality, data set size, distance function, and the number of neighbors returned by the query. Randomized metric trees are simple to implement, are generic in regards to the chosen distance function, and can be applied to a wider class of data representations.
Characteristics of 2 Different Commercially Available Implants with or without Nanotopography

The aim of this study was to assess histologically and histomorphometrically the early bone forming properties after 3 weeks for 2 commercially available implants, one supposedly possessing nanotopography and one without, in a rabbit femur model. Twenty-four implants divided equally into 2 groups were utilized in this study. The first group (P-I MICRO+NANO) was a titanium oxide (TiO2) microblasted and noble gas ion bombarded surface while the second group (Ospol) was anodic oxidized surface with calcium and phosphate incorporation. The implants were placed in the rabbit femur unicortically and were allowed to heal for 3 weeks. After euthanasia, the samples were subjected to histologic sectioning and bone-implant contact and bone area were evaluated histomorphometrically under an optical microscope. The histomorphometric evaluation presented that the P-I MICRO+NANO implants demonstrated significantly higher new bone formation as compared to the Ospol implants. Within the limitations of this study, the results suggested that nanostructures presented significantly higher bone formation after 3 weeks in vivo, and the effect of chemistry was limited, which is indicative that nanotopography is effective at early healing periods.
Does the Perceived Organizational Support Reduce Burnout? A Survey on Turkish Health Sector

OST (Eisenberger et al., 1986; Rhoades & Eisenberger, 2002; Shore & Shore, 1995) holds that the formation of POS is encouraged by employees’ tendency to assign the organization human like characteristics (Eisenberger et al., 1986; Rhoades & Eisenberger, 2002; Shore & Shore, 1995). Burnout is a reaction to stress and job-related demands in the work place (Raiger, 2005: 72; Halbesleben and Demerouti, 2005: 208; Lee et al., 201: 405; Salmela-Aro et al., 2009: 163; Oliviera et al., 2011: 177). Burnout is analysed in one composite general burnout measure consisting of three dimensions namely, emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduced personal accomplishment. Emotional exhaustion refers to the deplation of emotional resources of person. Depersonalisation refers maintaining a remote and negative attitude towards one’s collegues and disregard ind them. And lastly reduced personal accomplishment means considering oneself negative and inadequate in regard to job performance (Evers, et al., 2004: 132; Raiger, 2005: 72). The aim of this study was to examine the effect of perceived organisational support on burnout. Besides it was investigated the effect of perceived organisational support on the dimensions of burnout. Data were collected from 103 health workers who are working in a private older people health caring home. Maslach Burnout Inventory was used to assess the burnout level. To assess the perceived organisational support was used measure developed by Eisenberg et al., (1986).
The minimised geometric Buchberger algorithm: an optimal algebraic algorithm for integer programming

IP problems characterise combinatorial optimisation problems where conventional numerical methods based on the hill-climbing technique can not be directly applied. Conventional methods for solving integer programming are based on searching algorithms where heuristics such as branch and bound are applied to reduce the search space. Recently, various algebraic IP solvers have been proposed based on the theory of Grobner bases. The key idea is to encode an IP problem IPA;C into a special ideal associated with the constraint matrix A and the cost (object) function C. An important property of such an encoding is that its Grobner basis corresponds directly to the test set of the IP problem. The main di culty of these new methods is the size of the Grobner bases generated. In the proposed algorithms, large Grobner bases are caused by either introducing additional variables or by considering the generic IP problem IPA;C . Some improvements have been proposed such as the Hosten and Sturmfels method (GRIN) designed to avoid additional variables and the truncated Grobner basis method of Thomas which computes the Grobner basis for a speci c IP problem IPA;C(b) (rather than its generalisation IPA;C). In this paper we propose a new algebraic algorithm for solving integer programming problems. The new algorithm, called the Minimised Geometric Buchberger Algorithm (MGBA), combines the Hosten and Sturmfels method(GRIN) and Thomas's truncated GBA to compute the fundamental segments of a IP problem IPA;C directly in its original space and also the truncated Grobner basis for a speci c IP problem IPA;C (b). We have carried out experiments to compare this algorithm with others such as the geometric Buchberger algorithm, the truncated geometric Buchberger algorithm, and the algorithm in GRIN. These experiments shows that the new algorithm o ers signi cant performance improvement.
A Paraplasm of English Grammars

1.0. English grammar has been the backdrop for linguistic theory during the past decade and a half. Although the data themselves have seldom been of central interest, theories have nevertheless risen and sometimes fallen solely on evidence from English. One inevitable consequence is an accumulation of insights into the structure of English that is probably without parallel for any other language—from Klima's statement on the intricacies of negation (1959) through Fillmore's correlation of prepositions to underlying relational structures (1966) to Chomsky & Halle's hypotheses about the deep regularities of a superficially capricious phonology (1968). A second consequence, equally inevitable, is the sudden proliferation of introductions to the grammar of English, which continue to roll off the presses like so many leeches in the linguistic mainstream. A few of them reveal only a scant awareness of the more significant body of work of which they are but a reflex. Most of them, however, scratch the surface deeply enough to offer an honest term's work at some level or other. Virtually all of them seek no further than 1957 for their theoretical roots. They represent, then, the 'latest word' in pedagogical grammars: hence a paraplasm. This article undertakes a review of seven such grammars. They are, of course, neither the first nor the last of their species, but a representative sample. Generally, all of them reflect the predilections of linguistic theory during the sixties. Thus, semantics is allotted little space in them, the one notable exception to date being Langendoen's Essentials of English Grammar (see § 6.2 below). Studies of underlying semantic structure date from about 1966 with a few exceptions, and, allowing for the customary 'discipline lag' which keeps syllabi in all disciplines safely behind the theoretical frontier, have not made much impact on introduc-

Does Focality Depend on the Mode of Cognition? Experimental Evidence on Pure Coordination Games

We conduct a laboratory experiment to study how the mode of reasoning affects pure coordination in problems with and without an exogenous anchor that can serve as a focal point. The mode of reasoning is manipulated in the lab by requiring subjects to decide quickly (time pressure treatment) and, alternatively, by requiring subjects to motivate their decisions in a few lines of text (motivation treatment). This is meant to induce, respectively, a fast and intuitive mode of reasoning as opposed to a slow and deliberative one. Experimental data suggest that: (i) subjects take to the lab preexisting focalities that may have a common cultural root; (ii) the anchor is strongly focal and crowds out pre-existing focalities; (iii) such crowding out only happens for deliberative subjects. As a result, the anchor has an ambiguous effect on the overall ability of subjects to coordinate, making its desirability heavily dependent on the likelihood that subjects follow a slow and deliberative mode of reasoning.
A Phase 1/2, Dose-Escalation Trial of Deferasirox for the Treatment of Iron Overload in HFE-Related Hereditary Hemochromatosis

Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is characterized by increased intestinal iron absorption that may result in iron overload. Although phlebotomy is widely practiced, it is poorly tolerated or contraindicated in patients with anemias, severe heart disease, or poor venous access, and compliance can vary. The once‐daily, oral iron chelator, deferasirox (Exjade) may provide an alternative treatment option. Patients with HH carrying the HFE gene who were homozygous for the Cys282Tyr mutation, serum ferritin levels of 300‐2000 ng/mL, transferrin saturation ≥45%, and no known history of cirrhosis were enrolled in this dose‐escalation study to characterize the safety and efficacy of deferasirox, comprising a core and an extension phase (each 24 weeks). Forty‐nine patients were enrolled and received starting deferasirox doses of 5 (n = 11), 10 (n = 15), or 15 (n = 23) mg/kg/day. Adverse events were generally dose‐dependent, the most common being diarrhea, headache, and nausea (n = 18, n = 10, and n = 8 in the core and n = 1, n = 1, and n = 0 in the extension, respectively). More patients in the 15 mg/kg/day than in the 5 or 10 mg/kg/day cohorts experienced increases in alanine aminotransferase and serum creatinine levels during the 48‐week treatment period; six patients had alanine aminotransferase >3× baseline and greater than the upper limit of normal range, and eight patients had serum creatinine >33% above baseline and greater than upper limit of normal on two consecutive occasions. After receiving deferasirox for 48 weeks, median serum ferritin levels decreased by 63.5%, 74.8%, and 74.1% in the 5, 10, and 15 mg/kg/day cohorts, respectively. In all cohorts, median serum ferritin decreased to <250 ng/mL. Conclusion: Deferasirox doses of 5, 10, and 15 mg/kg/day can reduce iron burden in patients with HH. Based on the safety and efficacy results, starting deferasirox at 10 mg/kg/day appears to be most appropriate for further study in this patient population. (HEPATOLOGY 2010)
Compressed Sensing ISAR Reconstruction Considering Highly Maneuvering Motion

In this report, we propose compressed sensing inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging in the presence of highly maneuvering motion using a modified orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) reconstruction algorithm. Unlike existing methods where motion is limited to first- or second-order phase terms, we take into account realistic motion of a maneuvering target that can involve a third-order phase term corresponding to the rate of rotational acceleration. In addition, unlike existing fixed dictionary-based methods, which require designing a large dictionary that needs to take into account all of the possible motion parameters, we propose a modified OMP reconstruction method that requires a dictionary only based on the first-order phase term and estimates the secondand third-order phase terms using an optimization algorithm. Simulation examples and comparison with existing methods show the viability of our approach for imaging moving targets consisting of higher order motion.
Across the meiotic divide – CSF activity in the post-Emi2/XErp1 era

Vertebrate eggs are arrested at the metaphase stage of meiosis II. Only upon fertilization will the metaphase-II-arrested eggs exit meiosis II and enter interphase. In 1971, Masui and Markert injected egg extracts into a two-cell-stage embryo and found that the injected blastomere arrested at the next mitosis. On the basis of these observations, they proposed the existence of an activity present in the eggs that is responsible for meiosis-II arrest and can induce mitotic arrest, and named this activity cytostatic factor (CSF). Although the existence of CSF was hypothesized more than 35 years ago, its precise identity remained unclear until recently. The discovery of the Mos-MAPK pathway and characterization of the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) as a central regulator of M-phase exit provided the framework for a molecular understanding of CSF. These pathways have now been linked by the discovery and characterization of the protein Emi2, a meiotic APC/C inhibitor, the activity and stability of which are controlled by the Mos-MAPK pathway. Continued investigation into the mechanism of action and mode of regulation of Emi2 promises to shed light not only on CSF function, but also on the general principles of APC/C regulation and the control of protein function by MAPK pathways.
Intersections On the Border Crossings of Black Women's Standpoints

In our local communities people are suffering from exploitation, oppression, and social injustice. Placesfor sharing one another's differences are scarce. Therefore, we are facing a crisis where hearts and mindsremain closed to pains and joys of social diversity. All the while, multiple standpoints shape people'sexperiences in daily lives within our local communities. How we choose to value or de-value thesestandpoints determines individual oppression or privilege. Thus, creating spaces for border crossingexperiences on the feminist terrain promote new understandings of our histories and futures as womenliving in interlocking systems of oppression.
