Basic primal infon logic

Primal infon logic (PIL) was introduced in 2009 in the framework of policy and trust management. In the meantime, some generalizations appeared, and there have been some changes in the syntax of the basic PIL. This paper is on the basic PIL, and one of our purposes is to “institutionalize” the changes. We prove a small-model theorem for the propositional fragment of basic primal infon logic (PPIL), give a simple proof of the PPIL locality theorem, and present a linear-time decision algorithm (announced earlier) for PPIL in a form convenient for generalizations. For the sake of completeness, we cover the universal fragment of basic primal infon logic. We wish that this paper becomes a standard reference on basic primal infon logic.
Host DNA Degradation after Infection of Escherichia coli with Bacteriophage T4: Dependence of the Alternate Pathway of Degradation Which Occurs in the Absence of Both T4 Endonuclease II and Nuclear Disruption on T4 Endonuclease IV

Escherichia coli cells infected with T4 phage which are deficient in both nuclear disruption and endonuclease II exhibit a pathway of host DNA degradation which does not occur in cells infected with phage deficient only in endonuclease II. This alternate pathway of host DNA degradation requires T4 endonuclease IV.
Exploring Geomorphometry through User Generated Content: Comparing an Unsupervised Geomorphometric Classification with Terms Attached to Georeferenced Images in Great Britain

User generated content such as the georeferenced images and their associated tags found in Flickr provides us with opportunities to explore how the world is described in the non‐scientific, everyday language used by contributors. Geomorphometry, the quantitative study of landforms, provides methods to classify Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) according to attributes such as slope and convexity. In this article we compare the terms used in Flickr and Geograph in Great Britian to describe georeferenced images to a quantitative, unsupervised classification of a DEM, using a well established method, and explore the variation of terms across geomorphometric classes and space. Anthropogenic terms are primarily associated with more gentle slopes, while terms which refer to objects such as mountains and waterfalls are typical of steeper slopes. Terms vary both across and within classes, and the source of the user generated content has an influence on the type of term used with Geograph, a collection which aims to document the geography of Great Britain, dominated by features which might be observed on a map.

LODLI: Linked Open Data Back-End System for Libraries Interoperability

Linked Data principles offer significant advantages over current practices when publishing data. Linked Data allows library interoperability by linking to data from other organizations with authoritative data, which enriches library catalog-user search results. This paper describes LODLI, a Linked Open Data Back-End system that we designed and developed to enhance library catalog searches. We integrated our system with the Hebrew University library catalog, HUfind. While our platform can be used as is, it can also be customized by Linked Open Data providers that desire to convert their MARC records into Linked Data information library systems, making their data far more accessible. This research project faced the following challenges: finding the most efficient way to translate binary MARC into MARC records; mapping the MARC records into a variety of information models, such as Dublin Core, FRBR, RDA, OWL and FOAF, while selecting the most appropriate MARC field combinations; and providing links to resources in external datasets using a distance algorithm to identify string similarity. LODLI is a generic system to which additional ontologies can easily be added. We have demonstrated the system with two types of clients: FRBR visualization client and VIAF-extension client.
A Prospective Comparison of AV Delay Programming Methods for Hemodynamic Optimization during Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy

Introduction: There are several methods for programming the optimal AV delay (AVD) during cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). These include Doppler echocardiographic measurements of mitral inflow or aortic outflow velocities, an arbitrarily fixed AVD, and calculations based on intracardiac electrogram (EGM) intervals. The present study was designed to compare the acute effects of AVD programming methods during CRT.
ZupT Is a Zn(II) Uptake System in Escherichia coli

ABSTRACT Escherichia coli zupT (ygiE), encoding a ZIP family member, mediated zinc uptake. Growth of cells disrupted in both zupT and the znuABC operon was inhibited by EDTA at a much lower concentration than a single mutant or the wild type. Cells expressing ZupT from a plasmid exhibited increased uptake of 65Zn2+.
Responsibility of an auditor for accounting fraud detection

Consequences of detected accounting frauds are shared by all stakeholders starting from the enterprise, through investors, creditors, business partners, the state, to the audit firm. Responsibility for the true and fair presentation of the financial statements lies with managers, auditors and regulators. The aim of the paper is to determine the level of responsibility of auditors in detecting any manipulative acts and fraud. In this paper the authors will also reflect on the conduct of auditors encouraged by personal or commercial pressure which leads to disruption of audit quality and public confidence in the audit report.
Simulation and Characterization of Cross-Turn-On Inside a Power Module of Paralleled SiC MOSFETs

Silicon carbide dice are often paralleled to realize power modules with high current rating. Owing to the large network of interconnect (parasitic) impedances, terminal waveforms could appear benign while the dice experience detrimental fault currents generated by spurious cross-turn-on. This paper will quantify the nonuniform distributions of current stress and switching energy among the dice, as well as the penalty caused by cross-turn-on, versus number of dice, gate resistance, input voltage, and switching current. A reliable model for the package is essential. This is demonstrated for a commercial power module with 16 dice, 124 layout inductances, and the companion parallel resistances extracted from the finite-element simulation. Modeling process to avoid convergence problem is developed and verified by the experimental results. For a module tested at 800 V/300 A and carrying six paralleled dice per switch, the cross-turn-on induced current spikes simulated without and with package model differ by as much as 11.75 times. Cross-turn-on increases the high-side switching energy and the total switching energy of the module by 44% and 20%, respectively. One-die, two-die, four-die, and six-die modules are constructed based on the asymmetrical layout to explore how the number of dice influences cross-turn-on and switching energy. Peak cross-turn-on current and total switching energy of the module increase with the number of dice. The peak cross-turn-on current and switching energy of the six-die module are 134% and 36% higher than those of the one-die module, respectively. Severity of cross-turn-on soars as the number of dice increases.
The Hang Power Clean

INTRODUCTION The hang clean often is taught to athletes during the initial stages of power enhancement training with novices because of its relative simplicity in contrast to the full power clean and squat clean varieties (4,9,10,17,20,24,26,28). Training protocols using the clean and its variations have produced significant increases in vertical jump height, horizontal jump distance, lower body peak muscle force, and power, balance, and speed (1–3,10,17, 18,20,22,25,26,28). The full clean, hang clean, and hang power clean variations appear in Figures 1A, 1B, and 1C, respectively. The hang power clean, which appears in Figure 1C, will be the focus of this column article. Variations will appear in future articles. The clean has been performed safely in well-supervised training programs for children, adolescents, and adults (3,4,18,21, 23–25). To perform the hang power clean properly, vertical acceleration of a weighted bar is accomplished by rapid and forceful extension of the hips, knees, and ankles known as triple extension. Synchronized triple extension of the hips, knees, and ankles is essential for actions that include but are not limited to jumping, running, hopping, lifting objects from the floor, and rising from a seated position (14,25). The reported incidence of injuries occurring during well-supervised weightlifting in children and adults is minimal and less than that of persons competing in sports including but not limited to soccer, football, basketball, gymnastics, and rugby (15,21,23). Please refer to digital video content file 1, http://links.lww. com/FIT/A36 for demonstrations of the full clean, hang clean, and hang power clean.
The Dopaminergic Projection System, Basal Forebrain Macrosystems, and Conditioned Stimuli

ABSTRACT This review begins with a description of some problems that recently have beset an influential circuit model of fear conditioning and goes on to look at neuroanatomy that may subserve conditioning viewed in a broader perspective, including not only fear but also appetitive conditioning. The column will then focus on basal forebrain functional-anatomical systems, or macrosystems, as they have come to be called. Yet, more specific attention is then given to the relationships of the dorsal and ventral striatopallidal systems and extended amygdala with the dopaminergic mesotelencephalic projection systems, culminating with the hypothesis that all macrosystems contribute to behavioral conditioning.
Acid and Bile Tolerance of Lactobacillus thermotolerans, a Novel Species Isolated from Chicken Feces

Five strains of a novel thermotolerant lactic acid bacterium, Lactobacillus thermotolerans, isolated from chicken feces were assayed for acid and bile tolerance. Cultures of L. thermotolerans were grown anaerobically at 42°C in four different conditions, Man-Rogosa-Sharpe (MRS) broth at pH 6.5, MRS broth at pH 3.0, MRS broth supplemented with 0.3% (w/v) ox gall and MRS broth supplemented with 7 mM sodium taurocholate, respectively. All strains showed an acid tolerance when incubated at pH 3.0 over a period of 4 h. L. thermotolerans demonstrated significant changes of absorbance ( p<0.05) from the control when cultured with 0.3% bile concentration. Strain JCM11427 seemed to show the highest tolerance to bile. However, statistical analyses revealed no significant differences. The conjugated bile salt (sodium taurocholate) at physiological concentration (7 mM) had no effect on growth of the bacterial strains.
Thrombolysis risk prediction: applying the SITS-SICH and SEDAN scores in South African patients

Abstract At present, the only specific medical treatment for acute ischaemic stroke is intravenous administration of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator within 4.5 hours of stroke onset. In the last year, two scores for risk stratification of intracranial haemorrhage have been derived from multicentric European trial groups, the Safe Implementation of Treatment in Stroke – Symptomatic IntraCerebral Haemorrhage risk score (SITS-SICH) and the SEDAN score. The aim of this study was to pilot their use in a cohort of patients treated at a South African tertiary hospital. Prospectively collected data were used from a cohort of 41 patients who underwent thrombolysis at Groote Schuur Hospital from 2000 to 2012. Computerised tomography brain imaging was available for review in 23 of these cases. The SITS-SICH and SEDAN scores were then applied and risk prediction was compared with outcomes. Two patients suffered symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage (SICH), representing 4.9% (95% CI: 0–11.5%) of the cohort. This was comparable to the SICH rate in both the SITS-SICH (5.1%) and SEDAN (6.5%) cohorts. Patient scores in the Groote Schuur Hospital cohort appeared similar to those of the validation cohorts of both SITS-SICH and SEDAN. With increasing use of thrombolysis in a resource-constrained setting, these scores represent a potentially useful tool in patient selection of those most likely to benefit from intravenous thrombolysis, reducing risk for SICH and with the added benefit of curtailing cost.
Bacterial type B RNase P: functional characterization of the L5.1-L15.1 tertiary contact and antisense inhibition

Ribonuclease P is the ubiquitous endonuclease that generates the mature 5′-ends of precursor tRNAs. In bacteria, the enzyme is composed of a catalytic RNA (∼400 nucleotides) and a small essential protein subunit (∼13 kDa). Most bacterial RNase P RNAs (P RNAs) belong to the architectural type A; type B RNase P RNA is confined to the low-G+C Gram-positive bacteria. Here we demonstrate that the L5.1-L15.1 intradomain contact in the catalytic domain of the prototypic type B RNase P RNA of Bacillus subtilis is crucial for adopting a compact functional conformation: Disruption of the L5.1-L15.1 contact by antisense oligonucleotides or mutation reduced P RNA-alone and holoenzyme activity by one to two orders of magnitude in vitro, largely retarded gel mobility of the RNA and further affected the structure of regions P7/P8/P10.1, P15 and L15.2, and abolished the ability of B. subtilis P RNA to complement a P RNA-deficient Escherichia coli strain. We also provide mutational evidence that an L9-P1 tertiary contact, as found in some Mycoplasma type B RNAs, is not formed in canonical type B RNAs as represented by B. subtilis P RNA. We finally explored the P5.1 and P15 stem–loop structures as targets for LNA-modified antisense oligonucleotides. Oligonucleotides targeting P15, but not those directed against P5.1, were found to efficiently anneal to P RNA and to inhibit activity (IC50 of ∼2 nM) when incubated with preassembled B. subtilis RNase P holoenzymes.
Using Bourdieu in Critical Mediatization Research: Communicational Doxa and Osmotic Pressures in the Field of UN Organizations

This article develops a Bourdieusian approach to mediatization. It is argued that the Bourdieusian theories of doxa and fields can make valuable contributions to a critical perspective on mediatization, one that moves beyond the divides between institutionalist, social-constructivist and materialist understandings (e.g., Bourdieu, 1972/1977). Mediatization is here seen as the historically growing dependence on media technologies and institutions within diverse social fields and settings. In order to establish the link between mediatization and Bourdieu’s theories (ibid.), the article introduces the concept of communicational doxa, which refers to the taken for granted communicational conventions and demands that regulate the inclusion of membership within a particular field. The article also shows how communicational doxa can be applied as an analytical concept. Findings from qualitative fieldwork carried out among highly mobile and skilled professionals within the field of UN organizations in Geneva, show how the autonomy of social agents is negotiated in relation to an increasingly mediatized communicational doxa.
[Preparation of 20(S)-Protopanaxadiol-Phospholipid Complex HAP Assemblies].

OBJECTIVE To study the preparation of 20(S)-protopanaxadiol-phospholipid (20(S)-PPD) complex HAP assemblies. METHODS 20(S)-PPD phospholipid complex was assembled with the drug carriers of HAP. Effects of technological factors on the assembled amount were investigated, including HAP species, phospholipid complex concentration, ratio of HAP and assembled liquid, and then the preparation technology of 20(S)-PPD phospholipid complex HAP assemblies was determined. RESULTS The average quality of phospholipid complex assembled was 136. 26 mg/g,the average assembled rate was 5.3% for 20(S)-PPD phospholipid complex HAP assemblies prepared by the determined assembly process. FT-IR showed that 20(S)-PPD phospholipid complex was absorbed in the HAP assemblies, and the hydrogen-bonding effect was the main mechanism of HAP assemblies to assemble and adsorb phospholipid complex. The cumulative release rate in pH 7.4 phosphate buffer of the HAP assemblies indicated that the assemblies had the effect of sustained release. CONCLUSION The phospholipid complex HAP assembles have the advantages of simple preparation process, and sustaining release effect, which can provide preliminary research foundation for research and development of 20(S)-PPD sustained-release preparations.
Common care practices among effective community-based specialist palliative care teams: a qualitative study

Objective Evidence has shown that, despite wide variation in models of care, community-based specialist palliative care teams can improve outcomes and reduce acute care use at end of life. The goal of this study was to explore similarities in care practices among effective and diverse specialist teams to inform the development of other community-based teams. Methods Interviews with 78 providers and administrators from 11 distinct community-based specialist palliative care teams from Ontario, Canada were conducted. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed and analysed using an inductive approach to identify common themes. Results 3 key themes across all teams emerged. First, the distinct models of care were generally summarised into 3 models: primary care and specialist providers either collaborated by transferring, sharing or consulting in care. Second, teams explicitly or implicitly followed 7 common care practices related to: specialised expertise 24/7; intrateam communication; timeliness; physical symptom and psychosocial–spiritual management; education; peace and fulfilment; and advocacy for patient preferences. Third, all teams emphasised the importance of team building, even more than using clinical tools and processes. Conclusions Despite wide variation in models of care among community-based specialist palliative care teams, this large qualitative study identified several common themes in care practices that can guide the development of other teams.
New contributions to coherent neutralino-nucleus scattering.

We discuss coherent scattering between supersymmetric neutralinos and nuclei via an effective neutralino-gluon interaction. We extend existing calculations by evaluating all relevant one-loop diagrams, without resorting to an expansion in the inverse squark mass. We find new contributions to the effective neutralino-gluon Lagrangian that are nonzero even in the absence of mixing in both the squark and neutralino sectors. The new contributions can be numerically important, and can even dominate the total amplitude. This affects the calculation of event rates in experiments searching for direct or indirect evidence of cosmic relic neutralinos
Connective tissue organization of healthy human gingiva. Ultrastructural localization of collagen types I-III-IV.

Healthy human gingival connective tissue appears to be arranged in two patterns of organization at the ultrastructural level: Pattern I (PI) and Pattern II (PII). PI is a dense pattern of organization mainly constituted of large, dense bundles of thick collagen fibers, whereas PII is a loose pattern of organization, mainly constituted of short, thin collagen fibers mixed with a fine reticular network, especially located under or around basement membranes. Ultrastructural immunoperoxidase labelling of types I, III, and IV collagen demonstrates that gingival connective tissue is made of an intricate pattern of type I and III collagen where type I collagen fibers are preferentially organized in large dense bundles in PI, whereas a fibrous and fibrillar type III collagen network is predominant in PII. Type IV collagen, which does not exist in fibrous or fibrillar form, appears to be the main collagenous component of the basement membranes.
Endoreduplication control during plant development.

The series of processes that enable a cell to grow and produce two daughter cells is known as the cell division cycle. The past 20 years have witnessed an impressive advance in our understanding of the mechanisms that operate during cell cycle progression at the cellular, molecular, genetic and genomic levels. One of the challenges ahead is to understand cell proliferation control in the context of a developing or an adult organism. This involves not only learning how cells divide but also how arrested cells are recruited into the cell division pool or, alternatively, how and when they exit the cell cycle, make cell fate decisions and initiate a variety of differentiation pathways. One of the ways to exit the cell cycle as a prerequisite for differentiation is to enter the endocycle programme, whereby cells undergo successive rounds of genome duplication without going through mitosis. Consequently, the nuclear DNA content increases exponentially and cells become polyploid. Therefore, it is crucial for cell homeostasis to have a strict control on the switch from the cell cycle to the endocycle programme as well as on the number of endoreduplication rounds to be undergone. Occurrence of endocycles is far more frequent in plants than in animals (Edgar and Orr-Weaver, 2001; Larkins et al., 2001). In plants, endoreduplication is in many cases, although not exclusively, associated with an increase in cell size. Highly specialized differentiation pathways are also associated with endocycle progression, in some cases as a consequence of the need to increase metabolic activity, for example, during nodulation in legumes (Kondorosi et al., 2000, 2004), during nematode infection (Favery et al., 2002), during endosperm development (Lopes and Larkins, 1993; Larkins et al., 2001) or during fruit maturation (Joubes and Chevalier, 2000).
