Characterization of Three Full-length Human Nonmuscle Myosin II Paralogs*

Background: Three genes encode human nonmuscle myosin II (NM II) heavy chains, and the proteins have different intracellular roles and localizations. Results: NM II paralogs form bipolar filaments, but there are important differences in filament structure, enzymatic, and actin binding behavior. Conclusion: NM II filaments show diverse interactions with actin. Significance: NM II filaments are adapted to work in cytoskeletal networks. Nonmuscle myosin IIs (NM IIs) are a group of molecular motors involved in a wide variety of cellular processes including cytokinesis, migration, and control of cell morphology. There are three paralogs of the NM II heavy chain in humans (IIA, IIB, and IIC), each encoded by a separate gene. These paralogs are expressed at different levels according to cell type and have different roles and intracellular distributions in vivo. Most previous studies on NM II used tissue-purified protein or expressed fragments of the molecule, which presents potential drawbacks for characterizing individual paralogs of the intact protein in vitro. To circumvent current limitations and approach their native properties, we have successfully expressed and purified the three full-length human NM II proteins with their light chains, using the baculovirus/Sf9 system. The enzymatic and structural properties of the three paralogs were characterized. Although each NM II is capable of forming bipolar filaments, those formed by IIC tend to contain fewer constituent molecules than those of IIA and IIB. All paralogs adopt the compact conformation in the presence of ATP. Phosphorylation of the regulatory light chain leads to assembly into filaments, which bind to actin in the presence of ATP. The nature of interactions with actin filaments is shown with different paralogs exhibiting different actin binding behaviors under equivalent conditions. The data show that although NM IIA and IIB form filaments with similar properties, NM IIC forms filaments that are less well suited to roles such as tension maintenance within the cell.
Tight uniform continuity bound for a family of entropies

We prove a tight uniform continuity bound for a family of entropies which includes the von Neumann entropy, the Tsallis entropy and the $\alpha$-Renyi entropy, $S_\alpha$, for $\alpha\in (0,1)$. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for equality in the continuity bound and prove that these conditions are the same for every member of the family. Our result builds on recent work in which we constructed a state which was majorized by every state in a neighbourhood ($\varepsilon$-ball) of a given state, and thus was the minimal state in majorization order in the $\varepsilon$-ball. This minimal state satisfies a particular semigroup property, which we exploit to prove our bound.
Noisy Constrained Capacity for BSC Channels

We study the classical problem of noisy constrained capacity in the case of the binary symmetric channel (BSC), namely, the capacity of a BSC whose input is a sequence from a constrained set. As stated by Fan , “. while calculation of the noise-free capacity of constrained sequences is well known, the computation of the capacity of a constraint in the presence of noise . has been an unsolved problem in the half-century since Shannon's landmark paper. ” We first express the constrained capacity of a binary symmetric channel with (d,k)-constrained input as a limit of the top Lyapunov exponents of certain matrix random processes. Then, we compute asymptotic approximations of the noisy constrained capacity for cases where the noise parameter ε is small. In particular, we show that when k ≤ 2d, the error term (excess of capacity beyond the noise-free capacity) is O(ε) , whereas it is O(εlogε) when k > 2d. In both cases, we compute the coefficient of the error term. In the course of establishing these findings, we also extend our previous results on the entropy of a hidden Markov process to higher-order finite memory processes. These conclusions are proved by a combination of analytic and combinatorial methods.
Do employees high in general human capital tend to have higher turnover intention? The moderating role of high-performance HR practices and P-O fit

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine how high-performance HR practices and person-organization fit (P-O fit) affect general human capital and turnover intention. The author introduce and test a multilevel model to measure the relationship. Design/methodology/approach – A longitudinal research study was conducted using survey data collected from 456 engineers and their immediate supervisors in 31 Taiwanese high-technology companies. Findings – The findings show: first, general human capital can positively predict turnover intention. Second, the P-O fit moderates the positive relationship between general human capital and turnover intention since the stronger the P-O fit, the weaker this relationship. Third, the P-O fit can negatively predict turnover intention. Fourth, high-performance HR practices are positively related to general human capital and weaken the relationship between general human capital and turnover intention. Practical implications – Companies should ensure employees are a goo.

Relative wage structure in Chile, 1957 - 1992: changes in the structure of demand for schooling

It has traditionally been hypothesized that moving from Protectionist to liberalized trade in developing countries (LDCs) will decrease the relative wages of skilled versus unskilled labor (or “relative wages”). Trade liberalization causes “between-industry” shifting of the composition of output across industries towards goods intensive in unskilled labor, decreasing the demand for skilled relative to unskilled labor and relative wages.

Relationships among budgeting control system, budgetary perceptions, and performance: A study of public hospitals

The environmental uncertainty of medical industry was raised from the medical expenditure controlled by the government and the third party payers. This circumstance had forced hospital managers to learn management accounting. Budgeting control system was among the most popular mechanisms used by managers to contain costs and improve performance. However, budgeting control system could not achieve effectiveness in planning, motivating, negotiating, and controlling if there was no support from the organizational members. To obtain this support, careful attention must be given to the perceptive side of budgeting control system. In view of this, this study sought to explore the factors affecting the budgetary perceptions of hospital managers and the relationships of these perceptions with performance. The empirical study was based on a sample of 132 budgeting managers from a public hospital. Empirical results supported the proposed hypotheses that when the degree of budgetary feedback and budgetary participation were high, the budgetary motivation and budgetary attitude would be high, but the propensity to budgetary slack would be low, when the degree of budgetary motivation and budgetary attitude were high, the budgetary performance would also be high. Key words: Budgetary perceptions, budgeting control system, budgetary performance, budgetary participation.
Computerised tomographic profile of ethmoid roof on basis of keros classification among ethnic Kashmiri’s

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ethmoid roof on computerized tomography of nose and paranasal sinuses of Kashmiri people and distribute them on basis of KEROS classification. Methods: Cross sectional descriptive study, the randomly selected paranasal sinus computed tomography (PNS CT) scans coronal cuts . Total of One hundred PNS CT scans done at the SMHS Hospital from April 2015 to September 2015 were reviewed, and selected for study. The bilateral heights of the lateral lamellae of the cribriform plate were obtained, independently coded, and classified according to keros. Results: The mean height of the lateral lamella among Kashmir’s was seen to be 5.08mm and 29% of patient’s CT PNS were classified as Keros I, 61% were classified as Keros II and 10% were classified as Keros III. There was significant difference in the distribution of Keros classification between the right and left lateral lamella. There was no significant difference in the height of the lateral lamella (t-test: p=0.98 on right side & p =0.89 on left side) and the distribution of Keros classification (Fisher’s Exact test: p = 0.823) among younger (1-14 year) and older (>14 year) Kashmiri age groups. There is significant difference in the height (t-test: p=0.03 on right side and p=0.03 on left side) and the distribution of Keros classification is statistically insignificant (Fishers Exact Test: p=0.11) between Kashmiri females and males. Conclusions: Preoperative assessment of ethmoid roof anatomy and keros level is mandatory for alerting the surgeon of the potential iatrogenic injury during endoscopic sinus surgeries to minimize the grave complications during ESS.
Iron isotopic measurements in presolar silicate and oxide grains from the Acfer 094 ungrouped carbonaceous chondrite

We carried out Fe isotopic analyses on 21 O‐rich presolar grains from the Acfer 094 ungrouped carbonaceous chondrite. Presolar grains were identified on the basis of oxygen isotopic ratios, and elemental compositions were measured by Auger spectroscopy. The Fe isotopic measurements were carried out by analyzing the Fe isotopes as negative secondary oxides with the NanoSIMS to take advantage of the higher spatial resolution of the Cs+ primary ion beam. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach for measuring both 54Fe/56Fe and 57Fe/56Fe. The ion yield for FeO– is significantly lower than for Fe+, but this is not a serious limitation for presolar silicate grains with Fe as a major element. Most of the grains analyzed are ferromagnesian silicates, but we also measured four oxide grains. Iron contents are high in all of the grains, ranging from 10 to 40 atom%. Three of the grains belong to oxygen isotope Group 4. All of them have 54Fe/56Fe and 57Fe/56Fe ratios that are solar within errors, consistent with an origin in the outer zones of a Type II supernova, as indicated by their oxygen isotopic compositions. The remaining grains belong to oxygen isotope Group 1, with origins in low‐mass AGB stars. The majority of these also have solar 54Fe/56Fe and 57Fe/56Fe ratios. However, four grains are depleted in 57Fe; one is also slightly depleted in 54Fe. Current AGB models predict excesses in 57Fe with 54Fe/56Fe ratios that largely reflect the metallicity of the parent star. While the solar 57Fe/56Fe ratios are consistent with formation of the grains in early third dredge‐up episodes, these models cannot account for the grains with 57Fe depletions. Comparison with galactic evolution models suggests formation of these grains from stars with significantly subsolar metallicity; however, these models also predict large depletions in 54Fe, which are not observed in the grains. Thus, the isotopic compositions of these grains remain unexplained.
High-threshold fault-tolerant quantum computation with the GKP qubit and realistically noisy devices

To implement fault-tolerant quantum computation with continuous variables, continuous variables need to be digitized using an appropriate code such as the Gottesman--Kitaev--Preskill (GKP) qubit. We have developed a method to alleviate the required squeezing level to realize fault-tolerant quantum computation with the GKP qubit [K. Fukui, A. Tomita, A. Okamoto, and K. Fujii, Phys. Rev. X {\bf 8}, 021054 (2018)]. In the previous work, the required squeezing level can be reduced to less than 10 dB, assuming a noise derived from only the deviation of the GKP qubit itself. Considering realistic devices such as the two-qubit gate and the homodyne measurement, however, there is some additional noise, which leads to the degradation of the squeezing level. Specifically, the required squeezing level degrades to 15.0 dB, assuming the transmission loss in the homodyne measurement 5 $\%$ and the imperfection of the two-qubit gate. In this work, we propose a scheme to improve the required squeezing level, combining the previous schemes with the proposed maximum-likelihood methods and encoded measurements. The numerical calculations show that the required squeezing levels are 8.2, 9.6, and 11.7 dB for the transmission loss in the homodyne measurement 0, 5, and 10 $\%$, respectively, considering the imperfection of the two-qubit gate. Hence, we believe this work will open up a new way to implement continuous-variable fault-tolerant quantum computation with a moderate squeezing level and realistically noisy devices.
Nonfatal Injuries and Illnesses in State and Local Government Workplaces in 2008

Estimates of nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses covering nearly 19 million State and local government workers show that these public sector employees experienced a significantly higher incidence of work-related injuries and illnesses in 2008 than did private industry employees. These findings are from the Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII), which collected national data on State and local government workers for the first time in 2008. The new data series begin to address the common criticism that the SOII lacked comprehensive national estimates of nonfatal work-related injuries and illnesses covering public sector workers. This report explores briefly the historical absence of these statistics and presents additional findings of these new data series for the 2008 survey year. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 19701—the OSH Act—was enacted by Congress “ . to provide for the general welfare, to assure so far as possible every working man and woman in the Nation safe and healthful working conditions and to preserve our human resources. ”2 Congress proposed to accomplish this, in part, by
Crop type mapping using LiDAR, Sentinel-2 and aerial imagery with machine learning algorithms

ABSTRACT LiDAR data are becoming increasingly available, which has opened up many new applications. One such application is crop type mapping. Accurate crop type maps are critical for monitoring water use, estimating harvests and in precision agriculture. The traditional approach to obtaining maps of cultivated fields is by manually digitizing the fields from satellite or aerial imagery and then assigning crop type labels to each field – often informed by data collected during ground and aerial surveys. However, manual digitizing and labeling is time-consuming, expensive and subject to human error. Automated remote sensing methods is a cost-effective alternative, with machine learning gaining popularity for classifying crop types. This study evaluated the use of LiDAR data, Sentinel-2 imagery, aerial imagery and machine learning for differentiating five crop types in an intensively cultivated area. Different combinations of the three datasets were evaluated along with ten machine learning. The classification results were interpreted by comparing overall accuracies, kappa, standard deviation and f-score. It was found that LiDAR data successfully differentiated between different crop types, with XGBoost providing the highest overall accuracy of 87.8%. Furthermore, the crop type maps produced using the LiDAR data were in general agreement with those obtained by using Sentinel-2 data, with LiDAR obtaining a mean overall accuracy of 84.3% and Sentinel-2 a mean overall accuracy of 83.6%. However, the combination of all three datasets proved to be the most effective at differentiating between the crop types, with RF providing the highest overall accuracy of 94.4%. These findings provide a foundation for selecting the appropriate combination of remotely sensed data sources and machine learning algorithms for operational crop type mapping.
SEASONAL VARIATION OF HEAVY METALS CONCENTRATIONS IN FISH IN OGUTA LAKE, NIGERIA.

Concentrations of heavy metals iron (Fe), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), mercury (Hg), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As), were determined in the head of four fish species, namely, Trachinotus goreensis , Clarias anguillaris , Synodontis membranaceous , and Tilapia zilli , in Oguta Lake, Nigeria. Result obtained from analyses using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) revealed that Fe (13.309 mg/l) was the highest metal accumulated by the fish ( S. membranaceous ) in October, while Hg and As were not detected in all the fish species except in July where 0.003 and 0.005mg/l of As were detected in the fish species ( T. zilli and C. anguillaris ), and November where 0.001 mg/l of As was also detected in S. membranaceous . The distribution of HMs in the fish species revealed that, overall, Fe was the highest metal accumulated by the fish species, C. membranaceous, followed by T. goreensis . This high level of Fe accumulated by the fish species may be attributed to the fact that Fe occur at high levels in organic matter at the bottom of the Lake. So being typical bottom dwellers, the fish species were more exposed to the metal. Heavy metals were higher (not significantly) during the dry season than the rainy season. Statistically, however, seasonal variation didn’t significantly influence the accumulation of HMs by the fish species. The levels of heavy metals examined in the present study were below maximum permissible limits set by World Health Organization (WHO), indicating that the Oguta Lake is not polluted by heavy metals.

Wood/water relations of 15 South American lesser-used wood species

In the Amazonian forests of Perú a large variety of native wood species can be found, of which only a few are commercially exploited. Exploitation is focused on high density durable hardwoods for flooring appli - cations. After selective logging of a few valuable trees the forests often are considered being “unproductive” because there is no market for most of the remaining trees. Having a long-term sustainable forest management and utilization plan in mind, a continuous extraction of more tree species is desirable. For opening out new markets for lesser-used species a concise knowledge of their physical and mechanical properties is essential. Fifteen lesser-used Peruvian wood species were investigated to characterize their wood/water relations. Density, shrinkage behavior, and sorption characteristics were determined. In addition, the functional relation between electrical resistance and moisture content was determined to provide a sound basis for non-destructive moisture content measurements.
Embryonic Development of Parthenogenetic and Sexual Eggs in Lower Termites

Simple Summary It is important to compare the developmental stages of lower termites and recognize the differences between parthenogenetic and sexual eggs in order to describe their embryonic development concisely. In contrast with sexual eggs, parthenogenetic eggs have a lower rate of development and hatching success. Moreover, several genes differentially expressed between the two types of embryos have been identified. By addressing such a problem in the current research, the lack of understanding in the differences and the developmental processes between the two categories of eggs can be resolved. The aim of the study was to evaluate the development, discover the differences, and determine the gene expression patterns related to the variances between the two types of eggs. The authors discovered a number of genes with differential expression between the two categories of embryos, which explain these differences. These results present important insights into the reproductive processes of termites and highlight the need to contribute further research in this area to achieve a better understanding of termite biology. Abstract Worldwide, termites are one of few social insects. In this research, the stages of embryonic development in the parthenogenetic and sexual eggs of Reticulitermes aculabialis and R. flaviceps were observed and described. In R. flaviceps, the egg development of the FF and FM groups happened during the early phases of development, whereas in R. aculabialis, this appeared mainly during the late phase of development. The variance in the number of micropyles between the R. flaviceps FF colony type and the R. aculabialis FF colony type was statistically significant. Five stages of egg development were found in both types of R. aculabialis but only the sexual eggs of R. flaviceps. In R. flaviceps, 86% of the parthenogenetic eggs stopped growing during the blastoderm development, with the yolk cell assembling frequently in the center of the egg. According to the results of the single-cell transcriptome sequencing, we investigated the egg-to-larval expression level of genes (pka, map2k1, mapk1/3, hgk, mkp, and pax6) and indicated that the levels of essential gene expression in RaFF were considerably higher than in RfFF (p < 0.05). We also discovered that the oocyte cleavage rate in the FF colony type was considerably lower in R. flaviceps compared to R. aculabialis, which gave rise to a smaller number of mature oocytes in R. flaviceps. During ovulation in both species, oocytes underwent activation and one or two cleavage events, but the development of unfertilized eggs ceased in R. flaviceps. It was shown that termite oocyte and embryonic development were heavily influenced by genes with significant expressions. Results from the databases KEGG, COG, and GO unigenes revealed the control of numerous biological processes. This study is the first to complete a database of parthenogenetic and sexual eggs of R. flaviceps and R. aculabialis.
