Gas-Phase Ion/Ion Chemistry for Structurally Sensitive Probes of Gaseous Protein Ion Structure: Electrostatic and Electrostatic to Covalent Cross-Linking
Authors: See Kit Melanie Cheung , Carvalho Veronica V. , Vilseck Jonah Z. , Webb Ian
Published: February 2021

Intramolecular interactions within a protein are key in maintaining protein tertiary structure and understanding how proteins function. Ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) has become a widely used approach in structural biology since it provides rapid measurements of collision cross sections (CCS), which inform on the gas-phase conformation of the biomolecule under study. Gas-phase ion/ion reactions target amino acid residues with specific chemical properties and the modified sites can be identified by MS. In this study, electrostatically reactive, gas-phase ion/ion chemistry and IM-MS are combined to characterize the structural changes between ubiquitin electrosprayed from aqueous and denaturing conditions. The electrostatic attachment of sulfo-NHS acetate to ubiquitin via ion/ion reactions and fragmentation by electron-capture dissociation (ECD) provide the identification of the most accessible protonated sites within ubiquitin as the sulfonate group forms an electrostatic complex with accessible protonated side chains. The protonated sites identified by ECD from the different solution conditions are distinct and, in some cases, reflect the disruption of interactions such as salt bridges that maintain the native protein structure. This agrees with previously published literature demonstrating that a high methanol concentration at low pH causes the structure of ubiquitin to change from a native (N) state to a more elongated A state. Results using gas-phase, electrostatic cross-linking reagents also point to similar structural changes and further confirm the role of methanol and acid in favoring a more unfolded conformation. Since cross-linking reagents have a distance constraint for the two reactive sites, the data is valuable in guiding computational structures generated by molecular dynamics. The research presented here describes a promising strategy that can detect subtle changes in the local environment of targeted amino acid residues to inform on changes in the overall protein structure.

Published: February 2021

Chemistry looks back at many decades of publications on chemical compounds, their structures and properties, in scientific articles. Liberating this knowledge (semi-)automatically and making it available to the world in open-access databases is a current challenge. Apart from mining textual information, Optical Chemical Structure Recognition (OCSR), the translation of an image of a chemical structure into a machine-readable representation, is part of this workflow. As the OCSR process requires an image containing a chemical structure, there is a need for a publicly available tool that automatically recognizes and segments chemical structure depictions from scientific publications. This is especially important for older documents which are only available as scanned pages. Here, we present DECIMER (Deep lEarning for Chemical IMagE Recognition) Segmentation, the first open-source, deep learning-based tool for automated recognition and segmentation of chemical structures from the scientific literature.

The workflow is divided into two main stages. During the detection step, a deep learning model recognizes chemical structure depictions and creates masks which define their positions on the input page. Subsequently, potentially incomplete masks are expanded in a post-processing workflow. The performance of DECIMER Segmentation has been manually evaluated on three sets of publications from different publishers. The approach operates on bitmap images of journal pages to be applicable also to older articles before the introduction of vector images in PDFs.

By making the source code and the trained model publicly available, we hope to contribute to the development of comprehensive chemical data extraction workflows. In order to facilitate access to DECIMER Segmentation, we also developed a web application. The web application, available at https://decimer.ai, lets the user upload a pdf file and retrieve the segmented structure depictions.
Increasing Al-Pair Abundance in SSZ-13 Zeolite via Zeolite Synthesis in the Presence of Alkaline Earth Metal Hydroxide Produces Hydro-Thermally Stable Cobalt and Pd-SSZ-13 Materials for Pollutant Abatement Applications

Published: February 2021

We show that replacing alkaline (NaOH) for alkaline-earth metal (Sr(OH)2 as an example) in the synthesis of SSZ-13 zeolite with Si/Al~10 produces SSZ-13 zeolite material with novel, advantageous properties. Its NH4-form ion-exchanges higher amount of Co(II) ions than the conventional one: this is the consequence of increased number of Al pairs in the structure induced by the +2 charge of Sr(II) cations in the synthesis gel that force two charge-compensating AlO4- motives to be closer together. We characterize the +2 state of Co(II) ions in these materials with infra-red spectroscopy and XANES measurements. They can be used for NOx pollutant adsorption from ambient air: the ones derived from SSZ-13 with higher Al pair content contain more cobalt(II) and thus, perform better as ambient-air NOx adsorbers before reaching full saturation capacity. Notably, Co(II)/SSZ-13 material with increased number of Al pairs is significantly more hydrothermally stable than its NaOH-derived analogue. Loading 1.7 wt% Pd into Co-SSZ-13 synthesized in the presence of Sr(II) produces a passive NOx adsorber (PNA) material that can be used for NOx adsorption from simulated diesel engine exhaust. The critical issue for these applications is hydrothermal stability of Pd-zeolites. Pd/SSZ-13 synthesized in NaOH media loses most of its PNA capacity after ~800 ⁰C hydrothermal aging in the flow of air and steam (10 hours in 10% H2O/air flow). The 1.7 wt% Pd/Co/SSZ-13 material with Si/Al ~10 does not lose its PNA capacity after extremely harsh aging at 850 and 900 ⁰C (10 hours in 10% H2O/Air flow) and loses only ~55% capacity after hydrothermal aging at 930 ⁰C. It shows considerably enhanced stability compared with previous record for Pd/FER, Pd/SSZ-39 and Pd/BEA materials that could survive hydrothermal aging no higher than 820 ⁰C. We herein reveal a new, simple, and scalable strategy for making remarkably (hydro)thermally stable metal-zeolite materials/catalysts with a number of useful applications.
A Method for the Growth of Uniform Silica Shells on Different Size and Morphology Upconversion Nanoparticles
Authors: Ureña-Horno Elena , Kyriazi Maria Eleni , Kanaras Antonios
Published: February 2021

Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles have emerged as attractive candidates for biomedical applications. This is due to their excitation and emission wavelengths, which lay the foundation for deeper penetration depth into biological tissue, higher resolution due to reduced scattering and improved imaging contrast as a result of a decrease in autofluorescence background. Usually, their encapsulation within a biocompatible silica shell is a requirement for their dispersion within complex media or for further functionalization of the upconversion nanoparticle surface. However, the creation of a silica shell around upconversion nanoparticles can be often challenging, many times resulting in partial silica coating or nanoparticle aggregation, as well as the production of a large number of silica particles as a side product. In this work we demonstrate a method to accurately predict the experimental conditions required to form a high yield of silica-coated upconversion nanoparticles, regardless of their shape and size.
Synchronized Reagent Delivery in Double Emulsions for Triggering Chemical Reactions and Gene Expression

Published: February 2021

Microfluidic methods to form single emulsion and double emulsion (DE) droplets have greatly enhanced the toolbox for high throughput screening for cell or enzyme engineering and drug discovery. However, remaining challenges in the supply of reagents into these enclosed nanoliter compartments limit the applicability of droplet microfluidics. Here, we introduce a strategy for on-demand delivery of reactants in DEs. We use lipid vesicles as transport carriers, which are co-encapsulated in double emulsions and release their cargo upon addition of an external trigger, here the anionic surfactant SDS. The reagent present inside the lipid vesicles stays isolated from the remaining content of the DE vessel until SDS enters the DE lumen and solubilizes the lipid bilayer. We demonstrate the versatility of the method with two critical applications, chosen as representative assays for high throughput screening. First, we trigger enzymatic reactions after releasing a reactant and second, we encapsulate bacteria and induce gene expression at a delayed time. The presented technique is compatible with the high throughput analysis of individual DE droplets using conventional flow cytometry as well as with microfluidic time-resolved studies. The possibility of delaying and controlling reagent delivery in current high throughput compartmentalization systems will significantly extend their range of applications e.g. for directed evolution, and further improve their compatibility with biological systems.

Cosmological models, observational data and tension in Hubble constant
Authors: Sharov G.S. , Sinyakov E.S.
Published: February 2021

We analyze how predictions of cosmological models depend on a choice of described observational data, restrictions on ﬂatness, and how this choice can alleviate the H tension. These eﬀects are demonstrated in the wCDM model in comparison with the standard ΛCDM model. We describe the Pantheon sample observations of Type Ia supernovae, 31 Hubble parameter data points H(z) from cosmic chronometers, the extended sample with 57 H(z) data points and observational manifestations of cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB). For the wCDM and ΛCDM models in the ﬂat case and with spatial curvature, we calculate χfunctions for all observed data in diﬀerent combinations, estimate optimal values of model parameters and their expected intervals. For both considered models the results essentially depend on a choice of data sets. In particular, for the wCDM model with H(z) data, supernovae and CMB the 1σ estimations may vary from H = 67.52km /(s·Mpc) (for all N = 57 Hubble parameter data points) up to H = 70.87 /(s·Mpc) for the ﬂat case (k = 0) and N = 31. These results might be a hint how to alleviate the problem of H tension: diﬀerent estimates of the Hubble constant may be connected with ﬁlters and a choice of observational data.

Minél inkább kerül a környezeti politika a kormányzati (pénzügyi) politika homlokterébe, annál inkább érvényesülnek benne a kormányzást magát meghatározó érdekviszonyok. Az Európai Unió keretében ez mindenekelőtt úgy valósult meg eddig, hogy a tagállamok kormányzati politikai szerepe sok esetben inkább önmagáért valóan növekedett, és nem pedig a gyakran hivatkozott környezetvédelemre valóban való ösztönzés érdekében. A környezeti felelősség mintha a szebbik, a pénzügyi szabályozások valósága pedig az árnyasabb oldalát mutatná a tényleges kormányzati céloknak.
környezeti felelősség joga civil környezetvédelmi jogi szakértők nézőpontjából
Authors: Fülöp Sándor
Published: February 2021

A környezeti felelősségi szabályok – például a környezeti felelősségi irányelv Európában, vagy a környezeti felelősség törvényi előírásai az USA-ban – jelentős kompromisszumokkal terheltek, de a környezetvédelmi hatóságok még így is túlságosan engedékenyen hajtják őket végre. A szennyezett területek állapotáról és a felelősség érvényesítéséről igen kevés információ férhető hozzá, ezáltal kicsi az esélye annak, hogy a rendszer önmagát korrigálni tudja. Mindebben semmi meglepő nincs: a szennyezett területek megtisztítása vagy a szennyezés megelőzése rendkívül költséges; ha ezeket következetesen kikényszerítenék, az érintett iparágak nehéz helyzetbe kerülnének a környezetvédelemben kevésbé szigorú világrészeken működő versenytársaikkal szemben. Azokban a kivételes esetekben, amikor megpróbálnák velük szemben a környezeti felelősséget érvényesíteni, a vállalatok azonnal a korlátolt felelősség bástyái mögé menekülnek. Az ilyen helyzetekben a progresszív megoldásokhoz a közösségi részvétel nélkülözhetetlen. A jelen tanulmányban egy közérdekű környezetvédelmi jogász hálózatnak (Környezet és Igazságosság Hálózat) az európai környezeti felelősségi rendszerek hatékonyságának a növelésére, a holtpontról való elmozdulás elősegítésére tett erőfeszítéseit vizsgáljuk.

Európában a sütik kezelésére vonatkozó szabályozás már 2011 óta hatályban van, ám az általános adatvédelmi rendelet (GDPR) frissítette az Európai Unió régóta fennálló digitális adatvédelmi keretrendszerét, kulcsfontosságú kiegészítésekkel, ideértve a hozzájárulásra – mint a személyes adatok kezelésének jogalapjára – vonatkozó szabályok szigorítását. Míg az Európai Parlament és Tanács 2002/58/EK irányelve egy speciális szabályozás, amely az elektronikus hírközlési ágazatban történő adatok kezelésére vonatkozik, addig a GDPR a magánszemélyek személyes adataira vonatkozó adatkezelések esetében általánosan alkalmazandó szabályrendszer, amely rendelkezéseit a közelgő elektronikus hírközlési adatvédelmi rendelet hivatott kiegészíteni. Mindaddig marad a kérdés: mely szabályozást szükséges figyelembe venni a websütik használata esetén? Jelen tanulmány tisztázni kívánja, mire kell odafigyelnie egy vállalatnak, annak érdekében, hogy a weboldalain használt sütik kezelése a hatályban lévő jogszabályoknak pontosan megfeleljen.

Efectos de la radiación sobre la fecundidad en poblaciones experimentales de Drosophila melanogaster.
Authors: Salceda Victor
Published: February 2021

Se estudió el efecto de la radiación sobre la fecundidad en cuatro poblaciones experimentales de Drosophila melanogaster, tres de ellas fueron irradiadas crónicamente a diferentes dosis parciales hasta alcanzar una dosis absorbida total de 1128.06 Gy (Grays), la cuarta población fungió como testigo. Después de un período de recuperación sin radiación se extrajeron un total 1461 segundos cromosomas mediante la técnica CyL/Pm, ampliamente usada en Drosophila en experimentos similares; dependiendo de la dosis el número de genes normales, deletéreos y letales varió en cada población y a ellos se refiere este estudio. Los cromosomas se agruparon en libres y portadores de genes letales, así como producidos por mutación inducida o espontánea, estas agrupaciones son la base de las comparaciones hechas mediante la prueba “t” de Student. Para ello se obtuvo la fecundidad promedio de cada población y a partir de este se constituyeron categorías de fecundidad. Cada cromosoma fue adscrito a una de ellas obteniéndose así las frecuencias relativas para cada categoría. En todos los casos en que se compararon cromosomas portadores de genes letales o libres de ellos, las diferencias favorecieron a los libres de letales. En cuanto al efecto debido a la radiación ésta causó disminuciones en los valores de fecundidad cuando fueron comparadas con el testigo. Al fraccionar la fecundidad promedio en categorías no fue posible determinar un patrón de distribución que nos indique cual es el efecto de la radiación y se propone que la causa de ello es que las poblaciones expuestas aún no alcanzaron un equilibrio de recuperación para su estructura genética posterior al daño originado por la radiación y que la mayoría de los genes que están en ésta dinámica son de tipo poligénico cuya acción es pleiotrópica y aún están en proceso de ser seleccionados con lo cual se restablecería el equilibrio.Palabras clave: Drosophila, genes letales, radiación, fecundidad.
Evaluation of anthropometric indices as metabolic syndrome predictors in Ecuadorian Military Personnel
Authors: Muñoz Germán , Muñoz Gualan Alberth Patricio
Published: February 2021

Anthropometric measurements are simple and effective techniques for central or abdominal obesity evaluation. Although it is known their good predicting value, there is not a consensus about which is best in Metabolic Syndrome (MetSyn) diagnostic, using ATP III criteria. Anthropometric measurements included waist circumference (WC), waist hip ratio (WHR), waist height ratio (WHtR) and body mass index (BMI). This study aimed to determine the prevalence of MetSyn and compare anthropometric indices for optimal predicting value with their respective cut-offs for MetSyn diagnosis among army members in ESFORSE, Ecuador. The study includes 181 participants (175 male and 6 female), with mean age 37 ± 6 years, MetSyn prevalence is 8%, with WC (p <.001), WHtR (p. .009) and WHR (p .020) as variables statistically significant. We analyzed the area under the curve (AUC) in a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, in anthropometric measurements. Thus, WC and WHtR represent the highest AUC (WC: 0.77, 95% CI 0.69-0.86; WHtR: 0.70, 95% CI 0.59-0.82). The optimal cut-off values for predicting MetSyn are 92 cm in WC, 0.52 in WHtR and 0.93 in WHR. Therefore, the army members have a low prevalence of MetSyn, with WC as the best predicting value.

ABSTRACT Background: Hospitals are demanded to be more efficient and effective in providing medical services to avoid losses in the era of National Health Insurance. The increase in cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a burden on the cost of medical services in Indonesia. This study aimed to examine the determinants of hospital lost under Indonesia Case-Based Groups (INA-CBGs) reimbursement for patients with dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out at dr. Soeroto hospital, Ngawi, East Java, from September to October 2019. A sample of 200 in-patients was selected by simple random sampling. The dependent variable was tariff difference between INA-CBGs and hospital cost. The independent variables were class of treatment, length of stay, blood transfusion, co-morbidity, and complication. The data were obtained from DHF in-patients’ medical record. The data were analyzed by path analysis model run on Stata 13. Results: Tariff difference was directly and positively affected by length of stay (b= 2.77; 95% CI= 1.78 to 3.75; p<0.001), blood transfusion (b= 2.95; 95% CI= 0.36 to 5.54; p= 0.025), patients age (b= 0.09; 95% CI= -1.52 to 1.71; p= 0.907), co-morbidity (b= 0.58; 95% CI= -1.07 to 2.22; p= 0.491), and complication (b= 0.34; 95% CI= -1.69 to 2.36; p= 0.743). Tariff difference was directly and negatively affected by type of treatment (b= -0.81; 95% CI= -2.02 to 0.40; p= 0.191). Tariff difference was indirectly affected by co-morbidity, complication, class of treatment, and patient age. Conclusion: Tariff difference is directly and positively affected by length of stay, blood transfusion, patient age, co-morbidity, and complication.

Uruguay, al igual que el resto de los países de la región, está transitando hacia un cambio en la forma de comprender y actuar en las ciudades en relación con la gestión de aguas urbanas. El objetivo es tender a sistemas urbanos resilientes capaces de evaluar, planear y actuar para responder a todo tipo de obstáculos, ya sean repentinos o lentos, esperados o inesperados. En esta transición, las acciones en relación con las aguas urbanas son un motor de cambio ineludible. Se propone evidenciar la relevancia de las modalidades de planificación y gestión que apuntan a la resiliencia y logran adaptarse a entornos inestables, cambiantes, a partir de instituciones reflexivas, que aprenden de su propia práctica y se mantienen interconectadas. Se reflexiona en torno al proceso de desarrollo y aplicación de un conjunto de herramientas implementadas para la gestión de las aguas urbanas en los últimos diez años, haciendo énfasis en aquellas relacionadas a inundaciones urbanas y drenaje pluvial. La estrategia metodológica se basa en la triangulación de fuentes diversas, en particular, el análisis de dos relevamientos realizados en el año 2008 y 2018 y de productos generados en estos 10 años. La principal conclusión muestra importantes cambios hacia modelos más sostenibles y resilientes, aunque siguen existiendo fuertes desigualdades en las capacidades locales y en las acciones realizadas en las distintas regiones del país. Esto permite afirmar que el país está transitando hacia un cambio de modelo.

Existen diversos eventos de precipitación que han causado daños importantes derivados de la ocupación del territorio y la falta de espacio para el agua dentro del Área Metropolitana de San Salvador (AMSS). Sin embargo, a pesar de no ser relevante en cuanto a la variable precipitación acumulada, el 3 de julio de 2008, sucedió un desgraciado incidente que cambió el ritmo de los acontecimientos y desencadenó la puesta en marcha de medidas para reducir los problemas derivados de la peligrosidad por inundación, fallecieron 30 personas de una misma congregación religiosa que viajaban dentro de un autobús camino a casa en la Calle Montserrat a la altura de la Colonia La Málaga en San Salvador. A partir de dicho instante, el problema trascendió al ámbito político y se desarrollaron varios estudios y construcciones encaminados a minimizar los efectos de las inundaciones fluviales en el AMSS. El presente artículo establece el desarrollo de lagunas de laminación y SUDS como la propuesta para paliar los efectos de las inundaciones fluviales en el ámbito urbano y presenta criterios: económico-financieros, socio-políticos, ambientales e hidrológico-hidráulicos; para acotar la tipología y ubicación de las mismas. La evaluación conjunta de los diversos criterios permite establecer un criterio de priorización de medidas válido para la elaboración de futuros planes maestros de gestión de aguas lluvias. Basándose en estos criterios se planteó la construcción de un sistema compuesto por tres reservorios de retención para minimizar los efectos de las inundaciones en el ámbito del Arenal de Montserrat una de las cuencas con mayores problemas en la gestión de aguas lluvias dentro del AMSS. En este contexto, se justifica la necesidad de contar con una planificación maestra para el desarrollo de soluciones encaminadas a resolver tanto los problemas derivados del drenaje fluvial como del pluvial en los sistemas tradicionales de alcantarillado – por ser el destino de éstos los cauces del AMSS y por contar con numerosos problemas por la falta de capacidad y mantenimiento de los mismos.

Este estudio fue realizado en la República Dominicana abarcó 13 Juntas de Regantes que administran 20 sistemas de riego con una superficie de 2,273,800 ha y 39,675 usuarios, se tomaron en cuenta tres periodos agrícolas (2007-2008, 2008-2009 y 2009-2010); con la finalidad de traducir la tarifa por superficie a una tarifa volumétrica: también se analizó el costo ambiental de la sobre aplicación de agua de riego en las áreas agrícolas, sugerencias de estrategias para el ahorro y uso eficiente del recurso agua en las áreas bajo riego basada en instrumentos económicos y financieros, sugerencias sobre la implementación de un sistema tarifario efectivo basado en las condiciones locales que contribuyan a la sustentabilidad financiera, física y ambiental de estos sistemas. Se parte de la premisa que la tarifa de riego es un instrumento económico esencial para la gestión de los recursos hídricos, su correcta aplicación permite cubrir los costos de operación y mantenimiento (O&M) de los sistemas de riego. El deterioro que presentaron los sistemas de riego permite señalar que la tarifa por superficie no asegura los costos de O&M; por lo que se requiere implementar un sistema tarifario en función al volumen de agua derivado, en consecuencia, se muestra el promedio del costo volumétrico del agua para los sistemas estudiados considerando frutos menores y arroz, así como, el valor económico del agua no recuperable.

La sistematización de estudios sobre la valoración económica de servicios ambientales en terrenos forestales, permite valorar el servicio eco-sistémico de estabilización de taludes provisto por los bosques. Esta acción reduce el riesgo de aluviones o corrientes de detritos en áreas urbanas. Es necesario promover la influencia, la valoración económica de la producción maderera, el valor de la biodiversidad, la captura de carbono, el control de erosión y la reducción de caudales de crecidas. Se presenta una reseña de campo sobre el uso de pilotes de madera para la estabilización de taludes, como una alternativa efectiva con enfoque forestal apropiado para abordar emergencias generadas por procesos de remoción en masa en terrenos forestales. Se aplica a la región de Aysén, Chile. Los resultados muestran que los valores de resistencia al corte del sistema de raíces supera largamente a la proyección normal del peso de los árboles en los taludes y laderas. La restauración forestal mediante el establecimiento de bosques en áreas incendiadas y otras formas de alteración que inducen procesos de remoción en masa del suelo micro-cuencas periurbanas abastecedoras de agua potable es una medida efectiva a adoptar.

Authors: González Chávez Jaime Miguel , Delgado Rivera Efraín , Ortega Contreras Joel , Meers Philippe
Published: February 2021

Esta investigación forma parte del enfoque New Cinema History (Maltby, Biltereyst y Meers, 2011). Describe la programación y exhibición cinematográfica entre los años 40 y 70 en León, uno de los 10 centros urbanos más importantes de México. Metodológicamente es una réplica del proyecto original de Flandes (Biltereyst y Meers, 2007). La investigación se apoya en entrevistas a profundidad, trabajo de archivo y de carteleras. Se ofrece un análisis del papel social de la cultura cinematográfica como resultado de tensiones entre fuerzas comerciales e ideológicas, en interacción con los procesos de urbanización y modernidad. En el caso de León, el consumo de cine nacional y extranjero muestra una correlación en las audiencias de acuerdo con la brecha económica, sobre todo durante el proceso de transformación de la ciudad rural a urbana.
Discursos sobre inmigración a partir de la serie televisiva Los Simpson: el caso de los episodios 151 y 441
Authors: Rodríguez José Daniel
Published: February 2021

El presente artículo pretende evidenciar los discursos sobre inmigración en la serie televisiva Los Simpson, a partir de un análisis de discurso efectuado a dos episodios que abordan el tema a profundidad, el 151 y el 441. Su relevancia radica en la importancia que la serie, como producción de referencia y culto, ha consolidado. Esto basado en los recursos de forma y fondo que se desprenden de ser una serie animada, por un lado, y el medio que la transmite, es decir, la televisión por otro. Por ende, se asume que el debate presente a partir de discursos sobre inmigración goza de una alta recepción y potencial influencia.
