Cryo analytical microscopy of cell-mediated mineralization in models of bone disease

The bone mineralization process is crucial in maintaining the mechanical integrity of bone, from the time of its development to its constant remodeling throughout life. The process of pathologic mineralization and bone remodeling and how cells control these processes, is very poorly understood in vivo. By characterizing unique animal models of bone pathologies, spanning both lack and increase of bone, this project will elucidate the process of cell-regulated mineralization during endochondral ossification, the mineralization process that occurs during growth of long bones, and also during adult remodeling. We will also investigate how a defect in mineralization affects the mineral content, composition and organization of the collagen fibrils and mineral in pathological bones. We will first map healthy (wildtype) mineralization, focusing on the cell regulated mineralization, mineral composition and structure in bone and calcified cartilage. We will then investigate how the cell regulated mineralization alters in hypomineralized bone models, which have been reported as abnormalities of skeletal development. Finally, we will study the bone remodeling in under and over producing bones in leukemia and
parathyroid hormone (PTH) treated animal models. To address these problems, this work will combine multiscale, state of the art imaging and analysis techniques from dynamic live animal imaging (cellular level) to spatially resolved nanoscale (mineral and collagen fibrils) analytical techniques to characterize the processes by which bone mineralizes, remodels and also any alterations in these processes between healthy and pathologic tissues. Insight into skeletal cellular mineralization mechanisms in pathologic tissues could guide tissue engineering approaches for restoring bone and help to identify targeted treatments.
Abstract 17541: An Education Intervention Focused on Self-monitoring for Symptom and Sodium Intake Improves Adherence to the Low Sodium Diet and Health Outcome in Patients with Heart Failure

Background: Despite the clinical emphasis on recommending a low sodium diet (LSD), adherence to a LSD remains poor in patients with heart failure (HF). Additional research is needed to determine successful interventions to improve adherence to a LSD and health outcomes. Purpose: To determine the effect of an education intervention on adherence to a LSD and health outcomes. Method: A total of 109 HF patients (age 64±9 years, 29% female) who were non-adherent to LSD, indicating &gt; 3g of 24-hour urinary sodium excretion (24hr UNa) at baseline, were randomly assigned to one of 3 groups: 1) symptom monitoring and restricted 3 gram sodium diet (SMART) group, 2) the telephone monitoring (TM) group, or 3) usual care control group. The SMART group received individualized teaching and guidance of self-monitoring for worsening symptom and sodium intake using symptom and food diary for 4 sessions over 8 weeks. Patients assigned to either of the 2 intervention groups (SMART or TM) received phone calls every 2 weeks over 8 weeks. At 6 months follow-up, adherence to a LSD was assessed using 24hr UNa. Patients were followed for 1 year to determine time to first event of hospitalization or death due to cardiac problems. Repeated measures ANOVA and Cox regression were used to determine the effect of intervention. Results: The SMART group (n=37) showed a significant reduction in sodium intake across time compared to the TM group (n=35) and control group (n=37) (p= .022). In the Cox regression, patients in the SMART group had longer cardiac event-free survival compared to the control group after controlling for age, gender, ejection fraction, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor use, and better blocker use (p=.008). Conclusion: An education intervention focused on self-monitoring for symptom and sodium intake improved adherence to LSD and health outcomes in patients with HF. Helping patients engage in self-monitoring for symptom and sodium intake by themselves can promote better health outcome.

Reversible Digital Watermarking of Audio Wav Signal Using Additive Interpolation-Error Expansion

Digital watermarking is the process of hiding information in a carrier signal. An audio watermarking is a kind digital watermarking over which the carrier signal is audio. Here in this paper, an advanced audio watermarking scheme called additive interpolation-error expansion technique is proposed. The paper proposes a successful method for embedding and extraction of binary bits and text in audio wav file. Reverse data hiding is the process of hiding a data which is normally called as a watermark. The extraction process should recover the original cover signal along with the watermark. The watermark may be perceptible or imperceptible in nature. For an audio signal, watermarking is typically done in order to identify ownership of copyright for that audio. The watermark should do in a way that it is difficult to remove. The watermark information is also
Role of biphasic changes in splenic dendritic cell activity in a mouse model of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome.

To analyze the changes in splenic dendritic cell (DC) activity and serum cytokine levels during the progression of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). A C57BL/6 mouse model of MODS was established by intraperitoneal injection of zymosan. Immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry were used to detect expression of I-A(b) (MHC-II molecules of mice) as well as co-stimulatory and co-inhibitory molecules in spleen and DC surface. The levels of various cytokines in serum and spleen tissue were analyzed 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h, 5 d and 12 d after injury. Death occurred at 24-48 h and 10-12 d after injury. The expression of I-A(b) and CD86 in spleen tissue and on DCs increased 6-12 h after injury, followed by gradual reduction and at 12 d. The inhibitory molecule, PD-L1, was expressed on normal DCs, but expression of PD-1 was undetectable. PD-L1 and PD-1 expression increased and remained high at 5 d and 12 d after injury. In addition, TNF and IL-1 levels increased 6-12 h after injury; HMGB1 and IL-10 levels increased 24 h and 5 d after injury, respectively. In contrast, IL-2 and IL-12 decreased with disease progression. At 12 d after injury, proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine levels remained high, while IL-2 and IL-12 were significantly reduced. IL-10 and IL-12 changes in spleen were consistent with those in serum. MODS progression was characterized by changes in splenic DC activity as well as altered serum pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine levels, suggesting early immune activation and predominant immune tolerance at the late stage.
Refactoring monoterpenoid indole alkaloid production in microbial cell factories

Plants produce some of the most potent human therapeutics and have been used for millennia to treat illnesses. The monoterpenoid indole alkaloids (MIAs) are plant secondary metabolites that show a remarkable structural diversity and pharmaceutically valuable biological activities with more than 2,000 MIAs derived from the common precursor strictosidine. However, because most MIA chemicals do not have their biosynthetic pathways elucidated and MIA-producing plants are not genetically trackable, MIAs are under-represented in recently introduced medicines. In the consortium for Refactoring of Monoterpenoid Indole Alkaloids in Microbial Cell Factories (MIAMi) our main objective is to develop sustainable microbial production of new human therapies for the benefit of the European biotech industry, human health, and the environment. To do so, MIAMi will i) develop a new approach for MIA biosynthetic pathway discovery in plants founded on supervised learning algorithms based on omics data sampled from > 20 MIA producing plants, ii) contribute to standardisation of bioengineering by development of SOPs for characterisation of > 100 DNA elements for control of gene expression, protein interactions, and sub-cellular localisation, iii) build a public parts repository and Bio-CAD for forward engineering of compartmentalised biosynthetic pathway designs in yeast, and iv) apply automated genome engineering to prototype > 1,000 new-to-nature MIA biosynthetic pathway designs in order to identify robust designs for scale-up microbial MIA production processes, and evaluate the environmental benefits and risks compared to existing value chains. The excellent, interdisciplinary and inter-sectorial consortium will showcase the use of the new approaches and standardised data inventory to produce both commercially available and new-to-market MIAs rauwolscine, tabersonine and alstonine in yeast, and finally test their bioactivity as new cancer and psychosis treatment drug leads.

Unbabel: scalable, affordable and seamless content globalization using distributed crowd-post editing

Globalisation is causing a dramatic increase in the demand for translation services, but current translation solutions are unable to provide the scalability, affordability and quality required to eliminate language barriers between companies and their customers. Unbabel is developing a translation service that combines machine translation and distributed crowd post-editing as a service, powered by innovative technology and a growing community of bilinguals and professional translators. Unbabel’s goal is to integrate seamlessly into tools that companies already use to communicate with their customers, such as Zendesk, MailChimp, WordPress and Github. This approach will enable any company to rapidly and affordably scale their business internationally. Unbabel has already translated more than 8 million words and beta customers of the first two integrations have demonstrated impressive results. In phase 1 of this project, Unbabel aims to prioritise and allocate investments in building further integrations with internet tools such as Github, Salesforce, Wordpress, Gmail and Etsy. A market study will be performed to evaluate the economic viability of each of these integrations. In addition, Unbabel will study the User Experience design of a fully functional mobile application that enables translators to be part of the Unbabel community from anywhere in the world, creating a new source of income to bilinguals worldwide. In phase 2, Unbabel aims to dramatically improve the profitability of the translation process for both Unbabel and the Unbabel Translator Community while reducing the cost of translation for our customers. This project will have a tremendous positive impact on both customers, in quantitative terms, on market size and turnover, and translators, in qualitative terms, on income possibilities. The expected outcome will be an accurate, fast and inexpensive translation service that meets the growing translation needs of global companies in a globalised world.
Differential Operators Embedded Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm

Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) is one of the most recent nature inspired (NIA) algorithms based on swarming metaphor. Proposed by Karaboga in 2005, ABC has proven to be a robust and efficient algorithm for solving global optimization problems over continuous space. However, it has been observed that the structure of ABC is such that it supports exploration more in comparison to exploitation. In order to maintain a balance between these two antagonist factors, this paper suggests incorporation of differential evolution (DE) operators in the structure of basic ABC algorithm. The proposed algorithm called DE-ABC is validated on a set of 10 benchmark problems and the numerical results are compared with basic DE and basic ABC algorithm. The numerical results indicate that the presence of DE operators help in a significant improvement in the performance of ABC algorithm.
Visual privacy management in user centric open environments

Public Administration (PA) authorities are working towards upgrading the level of their online services through new governance models such as the Open Government. This pushes for greater transparency, accountability and innovation aiming at increasing citizen levels of confidence and trust in PA online services. In this context, user data privacy is an important issue. VisiOn will deliver a high Technology Readiness Level (TRL) Visual Privacy Management Platform, which empowers any citizen to achieve desired levels of privacy by creating and monitoring a personal Privacy Level Agreement. The platform will provide clear visualisation of privacy preferences, relevant threats and trust issues along with an insight into the economic value of user data. The platform will equip PAs with the right tools to improve the transparency and accountability of their operations, by supporting visual analysis of (i) privacy issues at different levels (e.g. design, run-time) and perspectives (i.e. citizen, PA); (ii) regulation compliance; and (iii) business/operational processes. The VisiOn consortium will leverage existing software, tools and methodologies, which partners have developed in previous projects, towards the implementation of the privacy platform software components. The latter will be tested in an operational environment (i.e. TRL 7), in three different pilot scenarios across two different scenario types (i.e. citizen/PA & PA/cross-border PA). Pilots will involve users from three European countries. Driven by the lack of appropriate products in the market, as identified by the relevant market analysis, the VisiOn exploitation strategy is based on commercialisation of the project results at three levels: platform-as-a-whole, fragments of the platform, and partner individual exploitation. This strategy will enable partners to integrate the project results into their existing commercial offerings, thus exploring and establishing new business opportunities and ventures.
Meeting the challenges of game ranch managementGame ranch management, by J. du P. Bothma and J.G. du Toit (editors) : book review

Since the publication of the Afrikaans version of Game ranch management in 1986 and the appearance of the first English edition in 1989, the game ranching industry in South Africa, and in neighbouring states such as Namibia, Zimbabwe and Zambia, has grown in leaps and bounds. The role this book has played in facilitating this phenomenal growth has been undoubtedly significant. Accordingly, the book's editors, contributing authors and publishers need to be highly commended for this - especially with regard to their efforts over the past 25 years in providing regularly updated Afrikaans and English editions in response to an ever-increasing knowledge base.
Comprehensive Integrated Checklists for Requirements Engineering and Software Project Management

Software engineering processes are often challenged by overlooked tasks and misguided decisions that are simple but yet essential for the success of the system to be developed. A list of guidelines and steps is required to help facilitate software development processes by efficiently guiding engineers and managers at different stages of software development. Moreover, the ensuring of the execution of required tasks is essential to reduce the likelihood of the system failure. In other critical areas such as medical surgery or aerospace control, the use of checklists has proven as a successful practice to ensure the effective and efficient execution of the tasks in a process. Although several of the current practices in software development include using some art of checklists to monitor the software development processes, there are no unified and integrated checklists from research and industry resulting in significant disparities. Such ambiguity could be even counter-productive instead of easing the software development processes. In order to fill this gap, we developed comprehensive and integrated software engineering checklists for the critical areas of requirements engineering and software project management. To create such comprehensive checklists and ensure their completeness, we applied the systematic literature review method. We analyzed 323 documents from academia and industry, and identified a total of 183 requirements engineering checklist items and 263 project management checklist items.
The Long-Run Prospect of Stock in the Nigerian Capital Market: A Markovian Analysis

This study presents a method of Markovian analysis of the long-run prospects of security prices in Nigeria. It examines five securities randomly selected from the banking sector of the Nigerian Stock Exchange for the period spanning January 4 th 2005, to June 30 th 2008; and defines a set of three states (rise, drop and stable) for the process in terms of a Markovian framework. The findings suggest that price levels are likely to remain relatively stable in the long run irrespective of the current down turn of prices and global economic meltdown. It must however be noted that as is the case with every long range projection, the possible future occurrence is fraught with many probabilities (including chance events) and only time can prove whether the projections are valid or not. Nevertheless the technique provided here adds to the very rich, and often conflicting literature on stock price prediction or behaviour. It is therefore recommended that the techniquebe added to the very rich store of methods adopted by technicians (technical analyst) in evaluating and arriving at long range projections on the future prospect of stocks.
