On the relative sonority of PIE /m/

Cooper (2013: 11–12, 2015: 317–320) suggests that /m/ was less sonorous in PIE than /l/, /r/, and /n/. This article discusses the evidence proposed for this analysis and puts forward some further evidence, of differing degrees of strength, from Sanskrit, Oscan, Venetic, Celtic and Greek. It concludes that there is some evidence for a lower sonority of /m/ than /l/, /n/ and /r/ in Greek and Sanskrit, but that the evidence for other languages is inconclusive. There are a number of instances in which /m/ patterns with plosives rather than the other sonorants in a number of other contexts, whose relevance to questions of sonority, however, is not clear. Overall, it is plausible that /m/ may have had a lower sonority than the other sonorants in PIE, but this is not necessarily the explanation for all its odd behaviour relative to the other sonorants in PIE and its descendant languages.
Mercury concentration in meat products

Contamination with heavy metals is a serious threat in view of their toxicity, bioaccumulation and biomagnification in the food chain. The aim of this study was to determine levels of mercury in the traditional meat products Malokarpatská and Lovecká salami during technological processing along with a comparison of raw materials originating from domestic and foreign production determined in 2011–2012. Mercury content was measured by a cold vapour atomic absorption spectrometry. The highest concentration of mercury in raw materials (beef, pork, pork bacon) was detected in beef from foreign production. Increasing concentrations of mercury were found after the addition of additives, spices and curing compounds causing a threefold increase in the concentration of mercury in final products.

Assessment of foot trajectories and ground reaction force in a trans-femoral amputee with Jaipur Knee and 3R20 knee joints

In developing countries like India, unilateral transfemoral amputees encounter with the challenge to select and evaluate the knee joint performance. This study aims to evaluate the response of knee joint on vertical ground reaction forces (vGRFs), walking speed, range of motion (ROM) of joints like hip, knee and ankle joints in first two weeks and enhanced response. Movements of different joints were recorded through VICON motion analysis system. Vertical ground reaction forces were captured through AMTI strain gauzed force plate. It has been observed that in two weeks normalized speed increases 0.41 to 0.49 with 3R20. Range of motion of joints was observed with interesting fact that in general with 3R20, joints angle their respective ROM were more than Jaipur Knee but in same cases in second half of gait cycle Jaipur Knee responded better than 3R20 knee joint.
Schistosomiasis in childhood: an experience to the Cuban Medical Internationalist Missions

Schistosome is a non-endemic parasite in Cuba, but with an elevated frequency in Africa, Asia and Latin-America; of them, five species infest man. No evidences of this parasite are found in Cuba. Considering the presence of Cuban Medical Internationalist Missions in other parts of the world, it is useful to transmit the professional experience in an African country. A 7-year-old-male patient, presenting an adequate nutritional status, coming from a sub-urban district of Mampula City. Mozambique, sub-Saharan Africa, at physical examination showed dermatitis in hands and feet for several weeks in evolution. The patient attended to the clinic presenting edema in the lower limbs, difficulties to urinate and dark urines. Suspecting, a possible Acute Diffuse Glomerulonephritis according to the frequency of the disease in that environment. After a limited therapeutic response, and a change in the epidemiologic view and the laboratory results; a childhood presentation of a form of massive schistosomiasis was confirmed, a frequent entity in the geographic regions where Cuban medical missions work. Some suggestions to transmit the experience to the medical missions were made taking into consideration several aspects after a medical literature review.
Phase I/II study of docetaxel (D), gemcitabine (G), and bevacizumab (B) in patients (pts) with advanced or recurrent soft tissue sarcoma (STS)

10056 Background: The combination of G and D has shown efficacy against refractory STS (Hensley, JCO 2002). STS have a high content of VEGF, which is associated with poor prognosis. This phase I/II study assesses the safety, tolerability, efficacy, and pharmacodynamics (PD) of B in combination with G+D, given on a two-weekly schedule to minimize adverse events (AEs). We are reporting the phase I results. Methods: Untreated pts with advanced or recurrent STS and ECOG PS =2 were eligible. Some pts were treated in a neoadjuvant setting, when surgically appropriate. Planned doses were G 1,000, 1,250, and 1,500 mg/m2, D 50 mg/m2, and B 5 mg/kg iv, every 2 wks. G doses were escalated in serial pt cohorts to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of G with fixed doses of D and B. MTD was assessed on the first 2 cycles (1 cycle = 2 wks). Treatment was continued until progression or unacceptable toxicity. For neoadjuvant therapy, B was given only for 4 cycles, followed by 4 cycles without B in anticipation of .

Opportunistic networks contain mobile nodes with wireless networking capability which deliver messages in a hop-by-hop fashion completely based on local information and using opportunistic connectivity created due to device proximity. There exists no predefined path between the source and destination. The source only forwards the data to the next node based on its capability to carry the data packet one step closer to the destination. Due to the absence of any concrete path connected by trustful nodes, these types of networks suffer from a number of security issues. The intermediate nodes may be malicious and lead to loss of packets, breach of user privacy, compromising data confidentiality by unwanted intrusion etc. General cryptography algorithms cannot be applied here directly due to the absence of any end-to-end secure path. The nodes have to solely depend on the next hop node for data transfer. So there is a need of such security mechanisms which would ensure that the intermediate nodes do not behave maliciously. This survey is an attempt to study and compare some security techniques being applied to Opportunistic Networks so far.

Density-Aware Smart Grid Node Allocation in Heterogeneous Radio Access Technology Environments

Smart grid (SG) is an intelligent enhancement of the conventional energy grid allowing a smarter management. In order to be implemented, SG needs to rely on a communication network connecting different node types, implementing the SG services, with different communication and energy requirements. Heterogeneous network (Het-Net) solutions are very attractive, gaining from the allocation of different radio access technologies (RATs) to the different SG node types; however, due to the heterogeneity of the system, an efficient radio resource optimization and energy management are a complex task. Through the exploitation of the most significant key performance indicators (KPIs) of the SG node types and the key features of the RATs, a joint communication and energy cost function are here defined. Through this approach it is possible to optimally assign the nodes to the RATs while respecting their requirements. In particular, we show the effect of different nodes ’ density scenarios on the proposed allocation algorithm.

T-lymphocyte differentiation and proliferation in the absence of the cytoplasmic tail of the common cytokine receptor gamma c chain in a severe combined immune deficiency X1 patient

Mutation of the gamma c chain common to interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-4, IL- 7, IL-9, and IL-15 receptors has been shown to be responsible for the X chromosome-linked severe combined immune deficiency (SCIDX1). Human SCIDX1 patients are characterized by an absence of T and natural killer cell differentiation. We report the case of a SCIDX1 patient who first had few detectable peripheral T cells, then developed, after haploidentical T-depleted bone marrow transplantation (BMT), up to 2,000/microL autologous T cells. These T cells have persisted over 8 years after BMT and were able to proliferate in the presence of mitogens and of some antigens, although to a lesser extent than control T cells. A stop mutation was identified which predicts that the major part of the cytoplasmic tail of gamma c is truncated. This mutation does not affect high-affinity IL-2 binding, but it partly decreases IL- 2 endocytosis and prevents the downmodulation of the IL-2-receptor beta chain and the tyrosine phosphorylation of Jak 3 protein in response to IL-2. This report raises questions concerning the role of the gamma c chain in IL-2 receptor endocytosis and in T-cell development and differentiation.
Evaluación del comportamiento del complejo Spodoptera con la introducción de algodón transgénico al Tolima, Colombia

In this study a record and an evaluation of the Spodoptera larvae complex (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) of commercial transgenic cotton (Cry1Ac) planted in the central area of Tolima, Colombia were registered. During three plant developmental stages: vegetative, reproductive and maturity, 83 commercial plots with areas ranging from 1 to 10 hectares, were evaluated. Spodoptera complex (Spodoptera frugiperda, S. ornithogalli y S. sunia) activity was evaluated in 315 ha, sampling seven plants per hectare, including refuges (12,6 ha), taking into account three different larvae sizes, small 0.5 and 1.5 cm, as well as their location in the plant (leaf, flower and structure). There were statistically significant relationships between the larvae incidence (percentage of cotton plants with Spodoptera larvae present) and the different cotton genetic materials, with a significant higher larvae incidence in the transgenic plants (11,98% SE 4,03) than in conventional plants (9,13% SE 3.08) (0,0021*). This tendency was also observed among Spodoptera complex species, both genetic materials and the three plant developmental stages. S. frugiperda prevailed in flowers and capsules, S. ornithogalli in leaves and flowers; and S. sunia in leaves. This pattern was observed in both genetic materials with statistical significance (0.0001*). Larvae of all sizes were recorded in plants of both genetic materials; although there was no statistically significative dependency. Finally, there were small, medium and large S. frugiperda larvae in flowers and capsules, structures where the Bt toxin expression is the lowest in the plant.
Spontaneous listeric encephalitis and neuritis in sheep. Light microscopic studies.

: Sixteen of 17 sheep with spontaneous listeric encephalitis had neuritis characterized by diffuse and focal intrafascicular and perineural accumulations of lymphocytes, plasma cells, macrophages and neutrophils in one or more cranial nerves. Nine sheep had extensive trigeminal neuritis which was usually unilateral. Brain lesions were mainly in the stem and were foci of macrophages or neutrophils or both, malacia, neutrophilic neuronophagia, vascular cuffing, and meningitis. Lesions in the brain and trigeminal ganglia were most severe on the same side as the affected trigeminal nerve. Gram-positive bacilli were in proximal parts of cranial nerves in foci of inflammatory cells and occasionally in morphologically intact nerve fibers. Organisms in the brain were in phagocytes in areas of inflammation and in scattered neurons and axons. The results were consistent with centripetal migration of the infectious agent along one or more branches of the trigeminal nerve to the brain and dissemination in the brain stem occurring, at least partly, along fiber tracts. Intraaxonal movement of bacteria probably is a mechanism involved in the pathogenesis of this disease.
OP-MOLB150108 2001..2014

Many phylogenomic studies based on transcriptomes have been limited to “single-copy” genes due to methodological challenges in homology and orthology inferences. Only a relatively small number of studies have explored analyses beyond reconstructing species relationships. We sampled 69 transcriptomes in the hyperdiverse plant clade Caryophyllales and 27 outgroups from annotated genomes across eudicots. Using a combined similarityand phylogenetic tree-based approach, we recovered 10,960 homolog groups, where each was represented by at least eight ingroup taxa. By decomposing these homolog trees, and taking gene duplications into account, we obtained 17,273 ortholog groups, where each was represented by at least ten ingroup taxa. We reconstructed the species phylogeny using a 1,122gene data set with a gene occupancy of 92.1%. From the homolog trees, we found that both synonymous and nonsynonymous substitution rates in herbaceous lineages are up to three times as fast as in their woody relatives. This is the first time such a pattern has been shown across thousands of nuclear genes with dense taxon sampling. We also pinpointed regions of the Caryophyllales tree that were characterized by relatively high frequencies of gene duplication, including three previously unrecognized whole-genome duplications. By further combining information from homolog tree topology and synonymous distance between paralog pairs, phylogenetic locations for 13 putative genome duplication events were identified. Genes that experienced the greatest gene family expansion were concentrated among those involved in signal transduction and oxidoreduction, including a cytochrome P450 gene that encodes a key enzyme in the betalain synthesis pathway. Our approach demonstrates a new approach for functional phylogenomic analysis in nonmodel species that is based on homolog groups in addition to inferred ortholog groups.

The present paper is an evaluation study of KGBV infrastructure facilities. The school infra structure facilities like school building, water facilities, sanitation, food, medical, vocational facilities were evaluated with checklist and results were discussed.
The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by marine phytoplankton La décomposition du peroxyde d'hydrogène par le phytoplancton marin

All nine species of marine phytoplankton tested (a cyanobacterium: Synechococcussp., three diatoms: Chaetoceros simplex, Thalassiosira oceanica and Skeletonema costatum, two prymnesiophytes: Pleurochrysis carteraeand Isochrysis galbana, a prasinophyte: Tetraselmis sp., a green alga: Dunaliella tertiolecta, and a dinoflagellate: Amphidinium carterae) were able to decompose hydrogen peroxide in the dark. Since these phytoplankton species can be found widely in a variety of marine sub-environments, this indicates that the dark decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by phytoplankton is a general phenomenon in the oceans. The decomposition rates were first order with respect to the concentration of hydrogen peroxide and biomass. The second-order rate constants for these nine species of phytoplankton ranged between 2×1 0 –4 and 2.7 × 10 –2 µg Chl-a –1 1h –1 . Synechococcussp. and S. costatum were the most efficient, while P. carterae and D. tertiolecta were the least efficient decomposers. While the magnitudes and patterns in the changes were species-dependent, in general, increasing salinity, temperature, the presence of light and the depletion of nutrients enhanced the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. The effect of growth phase was small.
Forage mass, chemical composition and leaf chlorophyll index of signal grass and organic matter in soil under increasing levels of nitrogen

This study evaluated the forage mass, plant height, chemical composition and chlorophyll index of signal grass (Brachiaria decumbens cv. Basilisk), as well as the content of organic matter (OM) in soil under increasing levels of nitrogen. The experiment was conducted in the Rio Manso Farm, experimental unit of the Federal University of the Jequitinhonha and Mucuri Valleys - UFVJM in the municipality of Couto de Magalhaes de Minas, state of Minas Gerais. For plant evaluation, we use a split plot randomized block design with four replications. Nitrogen levels (0, 25, 50, 75, 100 kg ha-1 N) were assigned to plots and the cuts made in plants, to subplots. For the assessment of soil organic matter, we used a split-split-plot, with nitrogen levels (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 kg ha-1 by cut) in the plots, collection depth (0-10 and 10-20 cm) in the subplots and three sampling times (before the onset of the experiment, at the end of the 1st crop year and at the end of the 2nd crop year) in sub-subplots in a randomized block design with four replications. It can be concluded that nitrogen fertilization linearly increases forage mass, plant height and crude protein content of signal grass, which are positively correlated with chlorophyll index. At the end of two agricultural years, the content of organic matter in the soil decreases, which can be attributed to management of cutting and removal of the cut material.
Neurodesarrollo infantil: características normales y signos de alarma en el niño menor de cinco años

The development of the nervous system is a complex process that results in the maturation of structures, the acquisition of skills and finally the formation of the individual as a unique person. This review contains information about the main characteristics of the processes of brain development, the characteristics of normal neurological development in different areas: gross and fine motor, language, sensory and socialization; and it is also accompanied by a description of the major changes in the development, identifiable in the daily clinical work of pediatricians. Our goal is to enhance knowledge in this key area of assessment of early childhood to detect problems sufficiently in advance for their timely intervention.
ECONOMIC LITERACY OF SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS: A FIELD STUDY

The prime purpose of the paper was to explore the status of economic literacy amongst the senior secondary school teachers in Varanasi. To find out the status of economic literacy of senior secondary school teachers the ‘Economic literacy test’ developed by researcher was administered. Taking cognizance of the nature of sample, ‘Incidental sampling technique’ was used. On the one hand sample was Incidental and on the other hand it was purposive as it served the purpose of the study. U.P. board and CBSE affiliated schools were considered for data collection. The study found that teachers, particularly senior secondary school teachers, had relatively low levels of initial economic literacy. The degree of economic literacy was found to vary across sex, school boards, and the previous formal economics instruction.
ANTIDIABETIC MEDICINAL PLANTS OF INDIA- A REVIEW

In India diabetes is a major health problem affecting people of both rural and urban areas. Herbal formulations are preferred over various treatment methods, which are following today to reduce the ill effects of diabetes and its secondary complications, due to its lesser side effects and low cost. In this review Indian medicinal plants with proven antidiabetic and related beneficial effects used in treatment is compiled. These include, Acacia Arabica, Aegle marmelose, Allium cepa, Allium sativum, Aloe vera, Artemisia pallens, Azadirachta indica, Beta vulgaris, Biophytum sensitivum, Bombax ceiba, Brassica juncea, Caesalpinia bonducella, Cajanus cajan, Citrullus colocynthis, Coccinia indica, Eucalyptus globules, Ficus bengalensis, Gymnema sylvestre, Hibiscus rosa-sinesis, Momordica cymbalaria, Musa sapientum, Ocimum sanctum. One of the major contributing factors in diabetes and its related complication is mainly due to the damage induced by free radicals. Hence treatment of diabetes with herbal drugs having both antidiabetic and antioxidant properties are more beneficial.
