EXCHANGE RATE FLEXIBILITY, CAPITAL MOBILITY AND INFLATION TRANSMISSION IN MALAYSIA
Authors: H. Ibrahim Mansor
Published: February 2019

The paper assesses the international transmission of inflation for a small economy, Malaysia, over three sample periods marked by different degrees of exchange rate flexibility. Contradicting to conventional wisdom of less pronounced foreign nominal influences under the flexible exchange rate regime, this research finds evidence that the inflation transmission from the US to Malaysia is strongest during the period marked by increasing exchange rate flexibility (i.e. 1993-1998). This research also observes significant inflation effects of exchange rate depreciation during the same period. While this research observe less pronounced impacts of the US during the limited exchange rate flexibility period (i.e. 1988-1999), the US influences are virtually absent during the recent fixed regime (i.e. 1998-2005). This research believes that the intensity of capital flows across the three periods might have explained the results.

OBJECTIVE To determine effects of prosthetic laryngoplasty on return to racing, performance index, and career longevity in racing Quarter Horses with recurrent laryngeal neuropathy (RLN) and to evaluate performance variables for horses with RLN undergoing prosthetic laryngoplasty, compared with a control horse population.

DESIGN Multicenter, retrospective cohort study.

ANIMALS 162 racing Quarter Horses with RLN treated with prosthetic laryngoplasty (case horses) and 324 racing Quarter Horse without RLN (control horses).

PROCEDURES Medical and race records of case and control horses examined at 5 referral centers between January 2000 and December 2015 were reviewed retrospectively. Two control horses were matched with each case horse. Return to racing, earnings, number of racing starts, performance index, and career longevity were evaluated.

RESULTS The odds of returning to racing did not differ significantly between case and control horses but decreased with increasing age. Neither racing starts nor career longevity were affected by prosthetic laryngoplasty or by RLN grade. In fact, horses undergoing laryngoplasty for treatment of RLN and horses with the lowest RLN grade before surgery had higher performance indices after the surgery, compared with indices for control horses.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE The faster speeds and shorter distances raced with Quarter Horses could alter how RLN impacts respiratory variables and performance in Quarter Horses, compared with other racehorse breeds.

Trochodendraceous Fruits and Foliage in the Miocene of Western North America
Authors: Manchester Steven R. , Pigg Kathleen B. , Devore Melanie L.
Published: February 2019

Two fossil fruit types and at least one fossil leaf type representing Trochodendraceae are recognized from the middle Miocene Cascadia flora of western Oregon, USA. Trochodendron rosayi sp. nov., known also from the middle Miocene of eastern Oregon and northern Idaho, is based on long-pedicelled, apically dehiscent capsular fruits with 7-9 persistent outcurved styles, very similar to the extant monotypic east Asian species T. aralioides. Concavistylon kvacekii gen. et sp. nov. is named for a racemose infructescence bearing shortly pedicellate, apically dehiscent capsules with 4 to 5 persistent incurved styles arising from the basal 1/3 of the fruit. Leaves associated at the Moose Mountain locality are recognized as Trochodendron postnastae sp. nov. They have basally acrodromous venation with a prominent midvein bracketed by a pair of strongly ascending basal secondaries and are thought to correspond to the T. rosayi fruits. These new occurrences demonstrate that greater diversity was present among fossil Trochodendraceae than previously recognized during the Miocene in western North America.

Published: February 2019

Actinopterygians from the large opencast coal mine in the vicinity of the village of Buxières-les-Mines (Bourbonl’Archambault Basin, Allier, France) are revisited and redescribed based on newly studied specimens. The understanding of the anatomy of Progyrolepis heyleri POPLIN, 1999, originally described by Poplin (1999) on the basis of the upper and lower jaws only, is greatly enhanced and is relatively complete. The anatomy of the palatoquadrate, dermal bones of the skull roof, hyoid arch, operculum, suboperculum, shoulder girdle, cheek bones and branchiostegal rays is described. In addition, new observations have been made on changes in the shape of the maxilla during ontogenesis and microstructure of the teeth. Details of Progyrolepis heyleri scales, including their microstructure and morphology of the ridge scales are provided. The collection of whole individuals, body fragments and numerous isolated bones provide confirmation of the presence of Aeduella blainvillei which is the main component of the actinopterygian fauna in Buxières-les-Mines. Additional new knowledge was obtained regarding the great variability in bones of the opercular apparatus and maxilla, presence of the supraorbital, branchiostegal ray with a conspicuous hyoid process and the direction of mutual overlapping of the suboperculum and branchiostegal ray in Aeduella blainvillei (AGASSIZ, 1833). Microsculpture on the scales is redescribed in this species. Paramblypterus cf. duvernoy is the third member of the actinopterygians in the locality Buxières-les-Mines. Fragments of Paramblypterus are very rare and the bones of the skull roof are presented here. Anatomical features of Progyrolepis heyleri, Aeduella blainvillei and Paramblypterus cf. duvernoy were studied and compared with those of other Devonian and Permo-Carboniferous actinopterygians.

Activating germline mutations in the human inflammasome sensor NLRP1 causes palmoplantar dyskeratosis and susceptibility to Mendelian autoinflammatory diseases. Recent studies have shown that the cytosolic serine dipeptidyl peptidases DPP8 and DPP9 suppress inflammasome activation upstream of NLRP1 and CARD8 in human keratinocytes and peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Moreover, pharmacological inhibition of DPP8/DPP9 protease activity was shown to induce pyroptosis in murine C57BL/6 macrophages without eliciting other inflammasome hallmark responses. Here, we show that DPP8/DPP9 inhibition in macrophages that express a Bacillus anthracis lethal toxin (LeTx)–sensitive Nlrp1b allele triggered significantly accelerated pyroptosis concomitant with caspase-1 maturation, ASC speck assembly, and secretion of mature IL-1β and IL-18. Genetic ablation of ASC prevented DPP8/DPP9 inhibition-induced caspase-1 maturation and partially hampered pyroptosis and inflammasome-dependent cytokine release, whereas deletion of caspase-1 or gasdermin D triggered apoptosis in the absence of IL-1β and IL-18 secretion. In conclusion, blockade of DPP8/DPP9 protease activity triggers rapid pyroptosis and canonical inflammasome hallmarks in primary macrophages that express a LeTx-responsive Nlrp1b allele.
A single strategy: Southeastern Massachusetts Technological Institute by Paul Rudolph
Authors: Domingo-Calabuig Débora
Published: February 2019

Paul Rudolph worked at the Southeastern Massachusetts Technological Institute from 1963 to 1991. Despite not being one of his most popular designs at that time, recent publications have revalued this work by evidencing the coherence between thought and design in a case of large-scale construction. This new campus allowed Rudolph to conceive an 'open work' that ranged from its urban planning to its construction. Other new universities addressed this way of proceeding, but Rudolph was a pioneer in his land in the approach of a design system based on a unique strategy. Thanks to documentary sources of earlier research, this work graphically reconstructs the Arts and Humanities building, the first group to be built and considered the germ of the project. The compositional pattern and the use of a prefabricated concrete block are revealed as basic tools which allow the design flexibility. In the Southeastern Massachusetts Technological Institute, Rudolph focused his attention on the design process under the belief that it would become a product itself, thus joining the ideology of the third-generation architects.
Francisco Javier Sáenz de Oíza, un maestro de la adecuación bioclimática
Authors: De Luxán García de Diego Margarita
Published: February 2019

De Sáenz de Oíza puede decirse que su pensamiento y enseñanza eran tan ricos, que cada alumno podía aprender en el campo que más le atraía, como en el de lo que ahora denominaríamos arquitectura bioclimática. En sus apuntes de Salubridad e Higiene aparece ya el título de “Bioclima”, el capítulo sobre “Clima y fisiología” podría ser parte de los Manuales Bioclimáticos clásicos. En un artículo resulta imposible mostrar las acciones en esta línea en todas las obras de Sáenz de Oíza, pero sí se pueden analizar algunos ejemplos; se comentan algunos de Torres Blancas, la Ciudad Blanca de Alcudia, el Banco de Bilbao en Madrid y la Casa de Juan Huarte en Formentor. Su manejo de la orientación, influencia del sol, sombras, ventilaciones naturales y aprovechamiento del régimen de vientos, diseño de las envolventes, uso de la inercia térmica, las propiedades de los materiales o el color es apreciable. La enseñanza de Francisco Javier Sáenz de Oíza, tanto la que realizó como profesor, como la que se desprende de sus escritos, proyectos y obras, y la que surge cuándo se analizan sus edificios desde un punto de vista de adecuación bioclimática es modélica, aunque a veces no se haya hecho explícita en toda su profundidad y contenido. Sus soluciones se dirigen a la búsqueda del edificio de piel sensible, a su intención de conseguir el control energético y el confort fisiológico, objetivos coincidentes con las necesidades de la arquitectura actual.
Vaciar para habitar en la ciudad collage: una estrategia proyectual de Sáenz de Oíza
Authors: López-Bahut Emma
Published: February 2019

Durante la segunda mitad de los años ochenta, Francisco Javier Sáenz de Oíza se enfrenta simultáneamente a dos grandes proyectos culturales que se construyen sobre/en una arquitectura previa: el Centro Atlántico de Arte Moderno en las Palmas (1985-89) y el Centro Cultural Alhóndiga de Bilbao (1988-90). En ambos proyectos se vacía el edificio existente, manteniendo sus fachadas reconocibles, e implementando una nueva estructura que aloja un uso distinto al original, que puede tanto respetar y adaptarse a los límites formales marcados por viejo edificio como rebasarlos. Como marco teórico-conceptual para Sáenz de Oíza se identifican las ideas de Collin Rowe en su libro Ciudad Collage (1981 ed. en castellano), en el que se defiende este tipo de bricolaje urbano, donde lo viejo es mantenido -en oposición a las ideas del Movimiento Moderno- y se articula libremente con lo nuevo. Desde esa perspectiva, se examinan los dos casos de estudio -la propuesta final de la Alhóndiga y lo construido en Las Palmas- centrados en las fachadas como vestigio del pasado y el vacío como generador de los proyectos. Se establecen conexiones, paralelismos y divergencias de la misma estrategia proyectual empleada por Sáenz de Oíza basada en el collage y la descontextualización promulgados por Rowe.

Simulation Model to Analyze the Effect of Planting Schedule and Predict the Productivity of Red Chilies in Pagar Alam City
Authors: Annissa Nur , Impron .
Published: February 2019

The city of Pagar Alam, South Sumatra is at an altitude of 600-2700 masl. The city has climatic and soil condition suitable for red chili plants (Capsicum annuum L.) that have high economic value. However, the fluctuating amount of red pepper production throughout the year can lead to excess or lack of availability of red chili in the market. This research was conducted to use a crop model to simulate the development, growth, and production of red pepper plant. This model used daily weather as input to simulate daily biomass (kg/ha) components of roots, stems, leaves, and fruits. Comparison of fruit components from simulation with field data taken at three areas in Pagar Alam city showed model accuracy of 76% for Koramil area, 91% for Perandonan area, and 85% Pagargading area. The simulation model result show that the average monthly chili productivity varies; highest of 3376 kg/ha if planting is done in October, and the lowest of 2828 kg/ha if planting is done in February.
