Does adaptation to vertebrate codon usage relate to flavivirus emergence potential?

Codon adaptation index (CAI) is a measure of synonymous codon usage biases given a usage reference. Through mutation, selection, and drift, viruses can optimize their replication efficiency and produce more offspring, which could increase the chance of secondary transmission. To evaluate how higher CAI towards the host has been associated with higher viral titers, we explored temporal trends of several historic and extensively sequenced zoonotic flaviviruses and relationships within the genus itself. To showcase evolutionary and epidemiological relationships associated with silent, adaptive synonymous changes of viruses, we used codon usage tables from human housekeeping and antiviral immune genes, as well as tables from arthropod vectors and vertebrate species involved in the flavivirus maintenance cycle. We argue that temporal trends of CAI changes could lead to a better understanding of zoonotic emergences, evolutionary dynamics, and host adaptation. CAI appears to help illustrate historically relevant trends of well-characterized viruses, in different viral species and genetic diversity within a single species. CAI can be a useful tool together with in vivo and in vitro kinetics, phylodynamics, and additional functional genomics studies to better understand species trafficking and viral emergence in a new host.
Biomimetic Nitration of Conjugated Linoleic Acid: Formation and Characterization of Naturally Occurring Conjugated Nitrodienes

Nitro-conjugated linoleic acids (NO2-cLA), endogenous nitrodiene lipids which act as inflammatory signaling mediators, were isolated and single isomers purified from the biomimetic acidic nitration products of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). Structures were elucidated by means of detailed NMR and HPLC-MS/MS spectroscopic analysis and the relative double bond configurations assigned. Additional synthetic methods produced useful quantities and similar isomeric distributions of these unusual and reactive compounds for biological studies and isotopic standards, and the potential conversion of nitro-linoleic to nitro-conjugated linoleic acids was explored via a facile base-catalyzed isomerization. This represents one of the few descriptions of naturally occurring conjugated nitro dienes (in particular, 1-nitro 1,3-diene), an unusual and highly reactive motif with few biological examples extant.
Structured training and advanced research in marine active structures

In the last 25 years the total amount of marine trade has nearly doubled. In the same period the container trade has undergone a tenfold increase, making the container fleet the fastest growing fleet at present. With 80% of total EU trade being transported by sea, the maritime transport is of the greatest importance to the EU. The increasing demand in container transportation is met by use of more containerships. Such ships with large bow and stern flares and fine underwater hull are severely hit by an effect known as parametric rolling. Accidents including container loss and vessel structural damage are reported from all around the world. Capsizing could be regarded as a rare event, but the consequences of such event are fatal (loss of the ship and the crew). Agencies, classification societies and the public are showing more and more interests in increasing the safety of large container ships. STARMAS is a highly interdisciplinary integrated research and training programme focused on the application of novel active control methods to increase safety, energy efficiency and quality of life at sea of the 21st century maritime transport. The problem of ship roll on rough seas will be tackled using novel active roll control methodologies. Bi-directional transfer of knowledge and cross-fertilisation between traditionally detached engineering disciplines will be unlocked, utilising a unique research approach to enduring engineering problems related to sea keeping, survival rate, and energy efficiency of marine vessels. The programme will boost the career prospects, increase employability and widen the set of skills of the experienced researcher. The training and research will predominately take place within the academic sector, at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture (FAMENA). The researcher will also benefit from secondments to the non-academic partner Bureau Veritas, Paris, (BV) facilitating an inter-sectoral transfer of knowledge.

The energy storage facility (10) comprises a mechanical energy supply device (12), a reservoir (32) for storage of a pressurized fluid, a pump (16) that can be actuated by the mechanical energy supply device (12), an energy generator (36) capable of converting the energy of the pressurized fluid into electrical energy, said energy generator (36) being capable of being connected to an electrical network to supply said electrical network with electrical energy, and a fluid circulation circuit (28) both connecting the pump (16) to the storage reservoir (32), in such a way as to inject the fluid into said reservoir when said pump is activated, and connecting the storage reservoir (32) to the energy generator (36). The circulation circuit (28) comprises at least one valve arranged between the storage reservoir (32) and the energy generator (36), said valve being moveable between an open position allowing supply of the electrical energy generator (36) with pressurized fluid and a closed position, prohibiting the supply of the electrical energy generator (36) with pressurized fluid.
Proterozoic Evolution of the North Atlantic–Arctic Caledonides: Insights from Detrital Zircon Analysis of Metasedimentary Rocks from the Pearya Terrane, Canadian High Arctic

AbstractThe Pearya Terrane, recognized as the only exotic terrane along the Canadian Arctic margin, includes a Neoproterozoic–early Paleozoic basinal or passive-margin metasedimentary sequence that is structurally juxtaposed with arc-related Paleozoic rocks and a metamorphic basement complex containing early Neoproterozoic orthogneiss. The Neoproterozoic siliciclastic sequence is similar to other clastic sections formed at the breakup of Rodinia, but its paleogeographic origin and crustal affinity are uncertain. Detrital zircon age spectra from seven samples reveal three groups: Group A, with numerous peaks at c. 1100–1800 Ma and the youngest population at c. 1020 Ma; Group B, defined by a dominant c. 970 Ma age peak; and Group C, with dominant peaks from c. 970–1800 Ma and a small population of c. 635–710 Ma grains. Spectra from Group A resemble data from the latest Mesoproterozoic units in Svalbard, East Greenland, and the Scandinavian Caledonides, with the ubiquitous Mesoproterozoic ages observed in al...

Queensland mining heritage

The evidence of mining heritage in Queensland demonstrates the technical and industrial expertise, corporate investment management and infrastructure development across the state. A key influence on the location and extent of the mining heritage in Queensland is that the machinery associated with treatment and transport of ore and concentrate has been moved extensively across the landscape to develop new mineral deposits. This occurred with batteries and smelting machinery particularly. What remains are smelter chimneys and flues, the bases of public buildings and houses, and the embankments of tramways. In some places the slag heaps have even been removed for retreating elsewhere. The use of timber and iron as the building materials in Queensland and the itinerant nature of rushes to new mining fields means that there is minimal physical evidence remaining of the miners' huts and lifestyles. Nevertheless houses of mine managers, company directors and business leaders existing in major towns such as Ipswich, Charters Towers, Gympie and Rockhampton survive and are well preserved. A notable number are listed for their architectural values on the National Trust and Queensland Heritage Registers.
Overcoming the spin-multiplicity limit of entropy by means of lattice degrees of freedom: A minimal model

The discovery of the giant magnetocaloric effect with isothermal field-induced entropy change beyond the spin-multiplicity limit gave rise to some indistinctness in the literature regarding the applicability of fundamental thermodynamics in data analysis. Those misleading interpretations concerning, for instance, the rigorousness of phenomenological thermodynamics are clarified here. Specifically, it is shown that the Maxwell relation incorporates contributions from the spin degrees of freedom and potential lattice degrees of freedom into the isothermal entropy change. A minimalist model involving pairs of exchange-coupled, mobile Ising spins is investigated. It is explicitly shown that lattice degrees of freedom can be activated via applied magnetic fields and the integrated Maxwell relation contains this lattice contribution. A simple and intuitive analytic expression for the isothermal entropy change in the presence of field-activated lattice degrees of freedom is provided.
How reliable is your ups? Eliminating single points of failure

Industrial UPS systems in floating offshore oil and gas platforms supply power to critical loads and require extremely high reliability and uptime. UPS configuration can have a major impact on reliability and uptime, and while there are several UPS topologies available on the market, space constraints can limit options. It is important to understand topology, and how the components that make up a UPS system operate and impact reliability. This paper outlines a particular UPS topology chosen for a floating offshore oil and gas production platform with reliability vs. space constraint trade-off challenges, identifies particular reliability concerns, and outlines different solutions with their associated advantages and disadvantages.
The untapped potential of omega-3; from fish oil to healthy bowels

Europe's consumers are increasingly requesting products that are organically and sustainably produced. At the same time, Europe has been lacking incentives to develop and bring to markets new marine products, without increasing pressure on natural resources.

The innovation in question; a natural, sustainably produced medicine based on marine oils, addresses these challenges. It is based on the discovery that omega-3 oils have proven to have laxative effects. It offers parents and pediatricians a pain-free alternative to other pharmaceutical products, in a market where no new products have been introduced for decades. The innovation also paves the way for the full utilization of marine products, demonstrating that by-products can be of high value for other industries, including the pharmaceutical sector.

The aim of the applicant is to develop this innovation all the way towards a market-ready, licensed pharmaceutical product. The pharmaceutical industry is one of the largest industries in the world in regards to revenues. Over 100 million people worldwide, suffer from constipation. The active ingredient of the innovation product would be a new and a unique addition to this growing market.

The applicant seeks support to be able to obtain a solid analysis of the market potential for the innovation. If successfully brought to markets, it will reach the milestone of being the first non-generic, registered drug, tested in clinical trials in humans that was discovered, developed and produced in one of Europe's most peripheral corners, Iceland.
DYNAMIC ROUTING OF WIDEBAND AND NARROWIDEBAND AND AUDIO DATA IN A MULTI-MEDIA TERMINAL ADAPTER

A multi-media terminal adapter includes a narrowband SLIC and a wideband SLIC. A DSP circuit is configured to encode a VoIP data stream and to transmit the encoded VoIP data stream to the wideband SLIC or the narrowband SLIC. A processor determines whether the VoIP data stream includes narrowband audio data or wideband audio data, and instructs the DSP circuit to transmit the encoded VoIP data stream to the wideband SLIC or the narrowband SLIC depending on whether the received VoIP data stream includes narrowband audio data or wideband audio data.
Parallel and Pipelined Hardware Implementation of Radar Signal Processing for an FMCW Multi-channel Radar

Ramp-sequence based frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar is effective in detecting the range and velocity of a target. However, because the target detection algorithm is based on a two-step fast Fourier transform (FFT) over several pulse-repetition intervals (PRIs), a significant amount of data must be processed in order to detect the range and velocity of the target. In specific cases, when multiple channels must be supported in order to estimate the angle position of a target, even more hardware resources and memory, as well as longer processing times, are required. In this paper, a field programmable gate array (FPGA) based radar detection algorithm with a parallel and pipelined architecture is implemented in order to support the multi-channel processing of the algorithm, which includes range and Doppler processing, digital beam forming (DBF), and constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detection. In order to effectively support the parallel and pipelined architecture, we propose a data-routing-schemed DBF and fine-grained DBF architecture. The results from implementation of the proposed hardware resources and processing times are also presented. The implemented radar sensor is installed on an experimental vehicle and is demonstrated in the field.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.eee.21.2.7606
Gene Flow among Populations of Two Rare Co-Occurring Fern Species Differing in Ploidy Level

Differences in ploidy levels among different fern species have a vast influence on their mating system, their colonization ability and on the gene flow among populations. Differences in the colonization abilities of species with different ploidy levels are well known: tetraploids, in contrast to diploids, are able to undergo intra-gametophytic selfing. Because fertilization is a post-dispersal process in ferns, selfing results in better colonization abilities in tetraploids because of single spore colonization. Considerably less is known about the gene flow among populations of different ploidy levels. The present study examines two rare fern species that differ in ploidy. While it has already been confirmed that tetraploid species are better at colonizing, the present study focuses on the gene flow among existing populations. We analyzed the genetic structure of a set of populations in a 10×10 km study region using isoenzymes. Genetic variation in tetraploid species is distributed mainly among populations; the genetic distance between populations is correlated with the geographical distance, and larger populations host more genetic diversity than smaller populations. In the diploid species, most variability is partitioned within populations; the genetic distance is not related to geographic distance, and the genetic diversity of populations is not related to the population size. This suggests that in tetraploid species, which undergo selfing, gene flow is limited. In contrast, in the diploid species, which experience outcrossing, gene flow is extensive and the whole system behaves as one large population. Our results suggest that in ferns, the ability to colonize new habitats and the gene flow among existing populations are affected by the mating system.
Plateforme MED de gouvernance

In complement to its 3 thematic priorities – innovation, energy and environment - the MED Programme integrates in its architecture a cross-sector axis specifically tackling the capacity of national and regional authorities to contribute to governance processes in the Mediterranean Region: the axis 4 Enhancing Mediterranean Governance. 
Concretely, this will be achieved through a top-down evidence based platform of national and regional authorities, the PANORAMED project. 
The overall goal of PANORAMED is to establish an innovative permanent dialogue and decision making process among national and regional public authorities and stakeholders to contribute to informed policy and decision making processes at national and transnational level on common challenges and opportunities in the Mediterranean Region. Specifically, the initiative will support the definition of transnational governance joint frameworks for the identification and implementation of shared approaches, policies and strategic projects. 
The top down partnership scheme includes 17 ministerial and regional partners from the MED eligible countries identified directly by the MED programme Monitoring Committee. The identified associated partners complement the partnership scheme and comprise the main actors and initiatives and strategies present in the basin and are recognized as key driver for exploring and developing complementarities and synergies as well as for defining possible alignment of initiatives.
AN Re-Os DATE FOR MOLYBDENITE-BEARING QUARTZ VEIN MINERALIZATION WITHIN THE KANGERLUSSUAQ ALKALINE COMPLEX, EAST GREENLAND: IMPLICATIONS FOR THE TIMING OF REGIONAL METALLOGENESIS

The Kangerlussuaq Alkaline Complex, East Greenland, is one of the largest alkaline complexes in the world. It is known to host a number of occurrences of base and precious metal mineralization, including the Flammefjeld porphyry Mo deposits and a suite of epithermal style base and precious metal veins in an area around the Sondre Syenitgletscher. Here we describe and date a previously unknown occurrence of molybdenite-pyrite-scheelite–bearing quartz veins associated with alkali basalt dikes that intrude the main syenites of the complex. The veins appear to be cogenetic with the dikes, which crosscut and brecciate granodiorites of the Cirque 1320 complex. Sulfur isotope signatures of molybdenite and pyrite in the veins give a tight range with mean δ 34 S of 2.2 ± 0.7‰, consistent with a magmatic S source related to the intrusion of the dikes. Molybdenite from the veins gave an Re-Os age of 52.74 ± 0.26 Ma, some 13 m.y. older than molybdenite at the Flammefjeld porphyry deposit, thus distinguishing this metallogenic episode as a distinct event, temporally unrelated to the known Mo mineralization at Flammefjeld. Significantly, in terms of the timing of regional metallogenesis and magmatism, our date suggests that the age of the Kangerlussuaq Alkaline Complex itself may be slightly older than the 50 Ma currently accepted, based on 40 Ar- 39 Ar dating from biotites in the main syenites. Given the common discrepancy in ore systems of 40 Ar- 39 Ar, which produce slightly younger dates than those by Re-Os and U-Pb, we suggest the actual age of the Kangerlussuaq Alkaline Complex may be closer to 53 to 52 Ma.

Robust Watermarking of Relational Databases With Ontology-Guided Distortion Control

In this paper, we present a new robust database watermarking scheme the originality of which stands on a semantic control of the data distortion and on the extension of quantization index modulation (QIM) to circular histograms of numerical attributes. The semantic distortion control of the embedding process we propose relies on the identification of existing semantic links in between values of attributes in a tuple by means of an ontology. By doing so, we avoid incoherent or very rare record occurrences which may bias data interpretation or betray the presence of the watermark. In a second time, we adapt QIM to database watermarking. Watermark embedding is conducted by modulating the relative angular position of the circular histogram center of mass of one numerical attribute. We theoretically demonstrate the robustness performance of our scheme against most common attacks (i.e., tuple insertion and deletion). This makes it suitable for copyright protection, owner identification, or traitor tracing purposes. We further verify experimentally these theoretical limits within the framework of a medical database of more than one half million of inpatient hospital stay records. Under the assumption imposed by the central limit theorem, experimental results fit the theory. We also compare our approach with two efficient schemes so as to prove its benefits.
