Authors: NEELAVATHI R , PAL R K , SHANKARASWAMY J
Published: July 2023

A research study was carried out on Minimal processing of cauliflower in the Division of Post Harvest Technology, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi. Pre-treatment of cauliflower florets with 150 ppm sodium hypochlorite for 2 minutes were found to be effective in reducing the bacterial population. Dipping of florets in 1% citric acid for 5 minutes was found to be highly effective in checking bacterial population (3.65 log cfu/g) in the minimally processed cauliflower. The maximum retention of firmness (18.08 N) was found in 1 % CaCl2 treated cauliflower followed by 0.5 % citric acid + 0.5 % CaCl2. The minimally processed cauliflower treated with 150 ppm sodium hypochlorite for 2 minutes and 1 % citric acid for 5 minutes, packed in HDPE (500 gauge), LDPE (100 gauge) and PP (100 gauge) and stored at 5o C for 20 days. The least weight loss was observed in the cauliflower stored in HDPE (2.35%). The respiratory rate and ethylene evolution was higher in cauliflower stored in LDPE packaging than HDPE. During storage, sinigrin content was found to be the higher in cauliflower packed in HDPE films (55.78 μmol/100 g) followed by LDPE (43.74 μmol /100 g). Cauliflower florets packed in HDPE retained significantly higher level of ascorbic acid (43.49 mg/100 g) and firmness (15.92 N). The electrolyte leakage was found to be lower in HDPE (29.5%). The microbial population of minimally processed cauliflower was found to be below the safe level even after 20 days of storage.

Automated Gesture Recognition Using African Vulture Optimization with Deep Learning for Visually Impaired People on Sensory Modality Data
Authors: Maashi Mashael , Al-Hagery Mohammed Abdullah , Rizwanullah Mohammed , Osman Azza Elneil
Published: July 2023

Gesture recognition for visually impaired persons (VIPs) is a useful technology for enhancing their communications and increasing accessibility. It is vital to understand the specific needs and challenges faced by VIPs when planning a gesture recognition model. But, typical gesture recognition methods frequently depend on the visual input (for instance, cameras); it can be vital to discover other sensory modalities for input. The deep learning (DL)-based gesture recognition method is effective for the interaction of VIPs with their devices. It offers a further intuitive and natural way of relating with technology, creating it more available for everybody. Therefore, this study presents an African Vulture Optimization with Deep Learning-based Gesture Recognition for Visually Impaired People on Sensory Modality Data (AVODL-GRSMD) technique. The AVODL-GRSMD technique mainly focuses on the utilization of the DL model with hyperparameter tuning strategy for a productive and accurate gesture detection and classification process. The AVODL-GRSMD technique utilizes the primary data preprocessing stage to normalize the input sensor data. The AVODL-GRSMD technique uses a multi-head attention-based bidirectional gated recurrent unit (MHA-BGRU) method for accurate gesture recognition. Finally, the hyperparameter optimization of the MHA-BGRU method can be performed by the use of African Vulture Optimization with Deep Learning (AVO) approach. A series of simulation analyses were performed to demonstrate the superior performance of the AVODL-GRSMD technique. The experimental values demonstrate the better recognition rate of the AVODL-GRSMD technique compared to that of the state-of-the-art models.

Achieving Customer Acceptance of Novel Product Features by Offering Customer Delight
Authors: Valverde Nuno Miguel Pereira dos Anjos , Schütte Simon
Published: July 2023

Today’s markets often offer different product solutions to the same customer need. In particular, new products offer new features requiring new customer behavior. This is typically driven by technology push, environmental concerns, or legal requirements. Due to inconvenience users do not easily change their behavior and thereby reject novel products unless they offer an obvious delight in the eyes of the user. Product developers need to take this in account when designing products. Tools such as UX, Kansei Engineering and Kano model are amongst those supporting product practitioners. This is exemplified by the affective evaluation of computer mice over three generations. It can be seen that in particular women have different affective needs in comparison to men related to auditive properties of mice. Hence it is important to adjust the user panel composition in accordance with the expected effect in order to avoid biases due to lacking diversity.
Assessment of Customer Emotional States While Interacting with Digital Touchpoints of E-Commerce Product Pages: A Kansei Engineering Approach
Authors: Papantonopoulos Sotiris , Karasavova Margarita
Published: July 2023

The study proposes a method for the assessment of e-shop product pages (PPs) through individual assessments of the touchpoints (TPs) customers interact with while using a PP (e.g., product title, main image, image gallery, Buy Box, rating/reviews number, product description, specifications, cross sales/recommended products, video, and product warnings) rather than an assessment of the product page as a whole. A specific Kansei list is created, customer preferences are collected, and touchpoints can be classified as positive, neutral, or negative (pain points). The assessment method was applied to the assessment of PPs of craft beer e-retailers. Once pain points were identified, two distinct types of TPs among them were individually analyzed (one visual, the Image gallery, and one textual, the Product description.) In both cases, a set of PPs were employed as stimuli and design elements that were deemed preferable by the customers were identified through Partial Least Squares analysis. The results provided valuable recommendations to web designers, content creators, and retailers for improving their PP content by taking into consideration the customers' emotional states and preferences.
Characteristic Analysis of Facial Stiffness Using Average Faces of Schizophrenia

Published: July 2023

There is a significant need for objective assessment methods for schizophrenia. Therefore, this study examined the emotional characteristics of facial stiffness—one of the indicators for estimating patients' flat affect—using average faces. First, we conducted an experiment for psychological evaluation of facial stiffness in 16 Japanese patients with schizophrenia. Twelve medical professionals rated the patients' facial stiffness in 147 videos. Their gaze data were also collected. To extract the physical characteristics of facial stiffness, 11 average faces of 14 male patients and one average face of a group of healthy subjects were generated. The average faces were subjected to an emotion evaluation test by the existing application and 33 medical experts. The results showed that most of the average faces differed in the proportions of the eight emotions between two tests. The most common emotions were anger for the stiffest average face and calm for the healthy average face. In the application analysis, the percentage of emotions other than calm, such as anger and sadness, ranged from 15–65%. In contrast, in the judgment by medical experts ranged from 55–97% for emotions other than calm. The results suggest that “the perception of anger” or “the perception of complex emotions with a mix of anger, confusion, disgust, fear or sadness” is related to the judgment of facial stiffness by medical professionals.
Complex Thinking for Kansei Studies - For an epistemological shift of the field
Authors: Lévy Pierre
Published: July 2023

This position paper questions the current situation of kansei studies as a multidisciplinary field of research. The observations on the structure of the research community and on the way papers address the notion of kansei point out the pluridisciplinary nature of the field, centred on the ill-defined notion of kansei. This situation is thought to be an epistemological issue, rather than a structural one. To address this epistemological challenge, we argue to shift towards complex thinking as a paradigm to rethink the field of kansei studies and the notion of kansei. Positioning kansei studies as a complex unit rich of multiple disciplines and of multiple perspectives on kansei lead to a richer dynamic within the research community, and open new ways of collaboration within the community and outside with related disciplines. Therefore, we call for this shift that may impulse a new dynamic in the community actually rich of a great variety of disciplines and practices.
Development and Preliminary Evaluation of a User-friendly and Engaging Virtual Reality Program for Rehabilitation
Authors: Yoshioka Kiyomi
Published: July 2023

We have developed a user-friendly and engaging virtual reality (VR) program called “Let’s stand up and travel the world!” which is used for performing sitting-down and standing-up rehabilitation exercises. This program allows patients to actively engage in rehabilitation exercises every day with the feeling of traveling while viewing images of landscapes from around the world. Because the achievement levels in the exercise plans are connected to the completeness of the images presented, the program helps patients to actively engage in rehabilitation exercises for long periods without becoming bored (patented). The progress of the program is guided by text and voice on the VR screen and can be executed by gazing at icons or by hand movements (touching virtual icons), achieving a universal design.

The effectiveness of using the program as a home rehabilitation program for the elderly was evaluated by asking an experimental participant to perform sitting-down and standing-up exercises. As a result, the participant was able to perform rehabilitation, which involved 30 standing and sitting movements, every day for 7 days. In psychological evaluation using a two-dimensional mood scale–short term (TDMS-ST), the mean scores for the “Level of Vitality,” “Level of Stability,” and “Level of Pleasure” significantly increased after performing the program’s exercises. The results show that the participant felt lively, excited, calm, and relaxed after exercises using the VR program.
Effects of nonverbal communication on Chatbot's perceived personality and user satisfaction
Authors: You Hsiao-Chen , Weng Han-Yu
Published: July 2023

As artificial intelligence develops rapidly, companies have created exclusive chatbots to facilitate conversational commerce and establish an emotional connection between their brands and their customers. Therefore, shaping the chatbot personality to match the brand image is often the focus of chatbot design. Two studies were conducted to investigate how nonverbal communication elements (avatar, sticker, emoji) affect users' judgment of chatbot personality and explore the effect of chatbot personality on user satisfaction. In Study 1, Kansei engineering was adopted to conduct an online survey using six combinations of nonverbal elements as experimental conditions and the five dimensions of the Brand Personality Scale as Kansei vocabularies. The results revealed that the three nonverbal elements did affect users' perceptions of chatbot personalities; however, the impacts of each element on different personality dimensions varied. In Study 2, based on Study 1, two crowdfunding chatbots with distinct personality traits, sincere and insincere, were developed as the experimental conditions to interact with participants within FB messenger. One hundred fifty valid questionnaires and the click rate of participants during the experiment were collected to measure participants' satisfaction. The results showed that participants were more satisfied with the sincere chatbot than the insincere chatbot. In addition, the personality of the chatbots also affected the participants' judgment of the quality of the messages as well as their willingness to use the chatbots.
Harmonization and evaluation. Tweaking the parameters on human listeners
Authors: Carnovalini Filippo , Pelizzo Alessandro , Rodà Antonio , Canazza Sergio
Published: July 2023

Kansei models were used to study the connotative meaning of music. In multimedia and mixed reality, automatically generated melodies are increasingly being used. It is important to consider whether and what feelings are communicated by this music. Evaluation of computer-generated melodies is not a trivial task. Considered the difficulty of defining useful quantitative metrics of the quality of a generated musical piece, researchers often resort to human evaluation. In these evaluations, often the judges are required to evaluate a set of generated pieces along with some benchmark pieces. The latter are often composed by humans. While this kind of evaluation is relatively common, it is known that care should be taken when designing the experiment, as humans can be influenced by a variety of factors. In this paper, we examine the impact of the presence of harmony in audio files that judges must evaluate, to see whether having an accompaniment can change the evaluation of generated melodies. To do so, we generate melodies with two different algorithms and harmonize them with an automatic tool that we designed for this experiment, and ask more than sixty participants to evaluate the melodies. By using statistical analyses, we show harmonization does impact the evaluation process, by emphasizing the differences among judgements.
Male and female facial attractiveness prediction: An image-based approach using convolutional neural network-based models
Authors: Sano Takanori
Published: July 2023

In recent years, significant research has been conducted on the use of deep learning for prediction of facial attractiveness. These studies are expected to have various applications such as recommendation systems and face beautification. Therefore, it is crucial to improve the prediction accuracy. In this study, to improve the accuracy of facial attractiveness prediction, several convolutional neural network-based models were built using sex-specific datasets. Then, their accuracies were compared. The results showed that VGG19 and VGG16 had the highest accuracies for the male and female face datasets, respectively. A detailed confirmation of the factors necessary for prediction is expected to contribute to the construction of models based on human perceptual characteristics. These models maybe utilized in various engineering applications.
Material derivation affects the perception of sustainability in polymer products
Authors: Muenchinger Kiersten
Published: July 2023

There is an increasing demand for “natural” products by consumers, businesses, scientists and product developers. Trends suggest that the term natural may be colloquially understood to be a plant-based material or ingredient. This study investigates whether this trend could apply to polymers by declaring the derivation of the polymer as a plant or as petroleum. Because polymer materials do provide environmentally positive attributes for products in relation to other materials, such as lightweighting, durability, and lower fabrication energy requirements, it may be helpful to understand the influence of a polymer’s derivation on the perception of a polymer product’s sustainability. The goal of this study is to assess peoples’ relative perceptions of the sustainabilities of polymer drinking cups when the base materials from which the polymers were derived are exposed. A set of six injection-molded drinking cups was given to research subjects to analyze. Each cup is made of a different polymer. The polymers have derivations including petroleum, corn, sugar and trees. Participants evaluated the cups on six qualitative design strategies for sustainability, including natural-ness. This paper compares the perceived sustainable attributes of the cups, and which attributes were most strongly influenced by revealing the derivation of the polymers.

Graphic language has become the information age of today's layout design concept and consciousness. The integration of design and digitization constructs the cultural ecological environment of diversified design, which makes the thinking, concept and aesthetic style of design permeate with unique cultural value. Based on the perceptual image elements under visual innovation and the communication effect of modern public welfare posters, combined with the update of media and the application and iteration of digital technology, emotional graphic elements are equipped in the design of public welfare posters. In this study, we investigated the relationship between new media literacy as an intermediary variable and the interest and confusion of aesthetic model, and the aesthetic experience of people participating in digital media art. The purpose of this study is to achieve the following research purposes: what kind of feeling can be brought about by the artistic creation of artificial intelligence, analyze whether the feeling is significantly different from that of human artists. And from the needs of the audience groups, we try to explore new ideas and design patterns of public service posters, try to break through the two-dimensional visual formal graphics, and accelerate the transformation and upgrading of traditional public welfare posters. The results show that it is particularly important to study the audience's psychological on the feeling and visual experience in the public service posters. At the same time, we should fully consider the perceptual elements, visual experience, and technological media.
Running shoes design system with artificial bee colony method using gaze information
Authors: Takenouchi Hiroshi , Tokumaru Masataka
Published: July 2023

To retrieve multimodal candidate solutions for real users, we investigated the effectiveness of an interactive evolutionary computation (IEC) method with an artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm. Using three types of bees (i.e., employed, onlooker, and scout bees), the ABC algorithm retrieves various candidate solutions. Our previous study showed the effectiveness of the IEC with the ABC algorithm while looking at various practical IEC parameters from a numerical simulation using a pseudo-user that imitates user preferences. The results showed that the IEC with the ABC algorithm could retrieve more multimodal candidates than the interactive genetic algorithm (IGA), the previous chief method of IECs. However, we did not examine the effectiveness of the IEC with the ABC algorithm for real users. In this study, we performed experiments to examine the effectiveness of the IEC with the ABC algorithm for real users using running shoe designs as an evaluation object. The investigations compared multimodal candidate solutions using the IGA method as a comparison tool, retrieving the performance of both methods. To evaluate candidates, we employed user gaze information to reduce user evaluation loads. The results showed that the evaluation time for evaluating candidates of the IEC with the ABC algorithm was shorter than that of the IGA method. Moreover, we confirmed that the IEC with the ABC algorithm could retrieve more multimodal candidate solutions than the IGA method.

This study investigated and analyzed the relationship between leisure activities and subjective wellbeing among middle-aged people in China. Specifically, we conducted a web-based questionnaire survey of men living in Shanghai, one of the cities directly under the jurisdiction of the Chinese government, which did not show any significant change in the frequency of participation in leisure activities before and during COVID-19. Based on the survey results, we used SEM(Structural Equation Modeling) to analyze the relationship between the three categories of leisure activities and subjective wellbeing. The results showed that the disciplines classified as hobbies and sports sectors had a significant positive impact on positive emotions, one of the elements of subjective wellbeing.
Virtual embodiment for enhancing sense of presence in virtual reality
Authors: Cho Youngil
Published: July 2023

The technical evolution of digital graphic technologies have allowed the photorealistic virtual representation of the physical world. This allows people to experience an enhanced sense of presence in virtual environments such as virtual reality (VR). It is a common conception that vision is the primary sense in virtual environments, and evaluations are performed by assuming that the virtual body was a default entity that solves the issue of improving sense of presence. There is no evidence presenting a comparison between how the same environment/stimulant in the VR space is evaluated when there is a virtual body versus no virtual body. How can we bridge the gap between the real world and the unreal world if we don’t look into it? The present study aimed to gain an experimental understanding of how virtual embodiment affects the individuals’ perception of body control and interaction with the objects in VR environment with a focus on visual perception. The findings of the study suggest that the sense of body ownership is more powerful factor than the sense of agency in regards to virtual embodiment in VR environment.

Глава 15. Судові акти в цивільному судочинстві України
Authors: Сеник Світлана Василівна
Published: July 2023

In this Section, the key issues of legal regulation, doctrinal studies and materials of judicial practice regarding the institution of judicial acts in civil proceedings were researched and analyzed. Attention is focused on the presence of terminological inconsistencies regarding the understanding of the relationships between the concepts of “judgments”, “court decisions”, “court rulings”. The study and generalization of this problem allowed the author to consider the generalizing term “judicial act” the most acceptable of all the proposed options.On the basis of the international legal standards and the analysis of the norms of foreign legislation, the national legal regulation of the procedure for the adoption of a judicial act and the requirements for its form, structure and content have been studied. It is claimed that the written form of the decision is the presentation by the court of the structure of the decision on a paper medium by displaying in it information about all its substantive parts in the essence of the stated requirements. In addition, in the opinion of the author, given that the decision is an act of application of the law, it requires the court to observe the rules regarding the display of special external attributes in it, which indicate who and when it was adopted. The decision must contain external formal requisites – signatures, seals, etc. – that confirm its legal significance and official character, its adoption in accordance with the competence of a court of general jurisdiction.In the context of highlighting the issue of the analysis of the requirements for judicial acts in civil proceedings, it was concluded that the law enforcement activity of the court consists in the fact that the judge must always take into account that any legal norm is an integral part of the entire system of law and acts in relation to other legal norms. That is why one of the main methods of legal understanding of this or that rule of law in terms of its legality is a systematic interpretation, also taking into account the fact that law cannot be reduced only to a system of legislative norms.According to the results of the analysis of doctrinal positions and legal aspects, it was concluded that the legal force of judicial acts as a form of implementation of the norms of law and judicial power is manifested in the fact that it is its legal action, which is manifested in the fact that the presence or absence of rights and obligations is established finally. The legal force of a judicial act is its property, due to which it acquires the qualities of binding, exclusivity, prejudice, irrefutability, and enforceability after the expiration of the appeal period.
diversas faces do desejo nos tratamentos de reprodução assistida
Authors: Araújo Katya de Azevedo , Barbosa Mara Horta , Mazeron Patrícia , Vives Renata Viola
Published: July 2023

Ao longo da obra freudiana, o conceito de desejo vai sendo delimitado e assumindo diferentes coloridos, principalmente quando falamos do desejo de filho na mulher, desejo este que pode ser de predomínio narcísico ou de predomínio edípico. Estes predomínios podem mostrar-se mais evidentes quando estamos diante de mulheres que buscam os tratamentos de reprodução assistida, criando diferentes formas de vínculos. Também observamos, em algumas mulheres, uma outra forma de tentar engravidar que parece mais ligada a um acúmulo de excitação e de investimento, em que os órgãos corporais são fonte e objeto da pulsão, o que nos remete à ideia de libido intrassomática. Este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar as diferentes faces do desejo e levantar questões sobre uma outra forma de expressão que estaria ligada à gravidez quase como uma mera descarga corporal, ligada à libido intrassomática, usando, para tanto, ilustrações clínicas.
vida erótica dos grandes criadores
Authors: Campos Júlio
Published: July 2023

Este trabalho tem o objetivo de apresentar algumas conclusões de uma investigação sobre a vida erótica de alguns dos grandes criadores da humanidade. Uma delas é que esse erotismo se desvia da via genital direta, habitualmente perseguida pelas pessoas comuns, para outros prazeres, igualmente fortes. Erotismo, para os grandes criadores, está conectado, primariamente, ao processo criativo em si mesmo. Nós estamos propondo o termo prazer de tramitação para o erotismo no trabalho cotidiano e o termo orgasmo epistemológico para o prazer final, quando a obra é terminada. É importante notar que observamos uma grande similitude entre os prazeres obtidos pelos artistas em seu trabalho com os conceitos de Freud e de Theodor Reik, de sinistro (Unheimlich) e surpresa, respectivamente. Pensamos que os criadores, em todas as áreas humanas, são motivados por estes intensos prazeres, podendo esta forma de erotismo, muito mais moderna no sentido filogenético que o orgasmo genital, substituir, parcial ou totalmente, a via comum do coito. Estes conceitos têm também certas similaridades com o produto final da genitalidade – a procriação, a via comum de alcançar a imortalidade. Os criadores usam, também, aqui, uma rota alternativa: a imortalidade é conseguida através da criação de obras universais, com as quais se perpetuam na memória de todos. Isto se torna possível, de acordo com nossas idéias, pela existência de um sinergismo com o inconsciente, resultante de uma especial, intensa e precoce relação com as suas mães.

Interpretação e a mente do analista
Authors: Trachtenberg Renato
Published: July 2023

O autor, partindo do modelo teórico-clínico de Bion e inspirado nas idéias de Meltzer sobre o conflito estético, trata de pensar alguns problemas na interpretação psicanalítica a partir de três configurações espectrais: espectro verdade ↔ verdadismo, espectro mistério ↔ secretismo e espectro conjunção/ correlação/probabilismo ↔ causalismo. Considera que as três dimensões espectrais se interpenetram de tal forma que é quase impossível pensar em situações no consultório em que cada uma delas não esteja acompanhada das outras. Implicam, respectivamente, um conflito em relação à posse do conhecimento da verdade, da intimidade e da origem.

A força da transmissão entre gerações e o transgeracional
Authors: Trachtenberg Ana Rosa Chait
Published: July 2023

A transgeracionalidade, uma das temáticas mais atuais da psicanálise moderna, está presente já em vários textos freudianos. As bases teórico-clínicas da transmissão psíquica entre gerações repousam também em idéias de M. Klein, Bion e Winnicott e encontram seu desenvolvimento pleno na escola francesa (Lacan, Green, Piera Aulagnier, René Kaes, Haydée Faimberg, entre outros), além da contribuição fundamental e histórica de autores latino-americanos. Aparecem em realce o intersubjetivo, as diferentes manifestações do “negativo“, a pré-história e o social (situações traumáticas ou de violência social) como ingredientes na constituição da história e do psiquismo do sujeito. No presente trabalho estão abordadas idéias relativas à transgeracionalidade, intergeracionalidade, identificações telescópicas e outros movimentos psíquicos, cuja incidência participará do destino do sujeito através das gerações.
On the concept of generalization of I-density points
Authors: Hejduk Jacek , Wiertelak Renata
Published: July 2023

This paper deals with essential generalization of \(\mathcal{I}\)-density points and \(\mathcal{I}\)-density topology. In particular, there is an example showing that this generalization of \(\mathcal{I}\)-density point yields the stronger concept of density point than the notion of \(\mathcal{I}(\mathcal{J})\)-density. Some properties of topologies generated by operators related to this essential generalization of density points are provided.

Wrapping of DNA into nucleosomes restricts accessibility to DNA and may affect the recognition of binding motifs by transcription factors. A certain class of transcription factors, the pioneer transcription factors, can specifically recognize their DNA binding sites on nucleosomes, initiate local chromatin opening, and facilitate the binding of co-factors in a cell-type-specific manner. For the majority of human pioneer transcription factors, the locations of their binding sites, mechanisms of binding, and regulation remain unknown. We have developed a computational method to predict the cell-type-specific ability of transcription factors to bind nucleosomes by integrating ChIP-seq, MNase-seq, and DNase-seq data with details of nucleosome structure. We have demonstrated the ability of our approach in discriminating pioneer from canonical transcription factors and predicted new potential pioneer transcription factors in H1, K562, HepG2, and HeLa-S3 cell lines. Last, we systematically analyzed the interaction modes between various pioneer transcription factors and detected several clusters of distinctive binding sites on nucleosomal DNA.

Eph receptor tyrosine kinases participate in a variety of normal and pathogenic processes during development and throughout adulthood. This versatility is likely facilitated by the ability of Eph receptors to signal through diverse cellular signalling pathways: primarily by controlling cytoskeletal dynamics, but also by regulating cellular growth, proliferation, and survival. Despite many proteins linked to these signalling pathways interacting with Eph receptors, the specific mechanisms behind such links and their coordination remain to be elucidated. In a proteomics screen for novel EPHB2 multi-effector proteins, we identified human MYC binding protein 2 (MYCBP2 or PAM or Phr1). MYCBP2 is a large signalling hub involved in diverse processes such as neuronal connectivity, synaptic growth, cell division, neuronal survival, and protein ubiquitination. Our biochemical experiments demonstrate that the formation of a complex containing EPHB2 and MYCBP2 is facilitated by FBXO45, a protein known to select substrates for MYCBP2 ubiquitin ligase activity. Formation of the MYCBP2-EPHB2 complex does not require EPHB2 tyrosine kinase activity and is destabilised by binding of ephrin-B ligands, suggesting that the MYCBP2-EPHB2 association is a prelude to EPHB2 signalling. Paradoxically, the loss of MYCBP2 results in increased ubiquitination of EPHB2 and a decrease of its protein levels suggesting that MYCBP2 stabilises EPHB2. Commensurate with this effect, our cellular experiments reveal that MYCBP2 is essential for efficient EPHB2 signalling responses in cell lines and primary neurons. Finally, our genetic studies in Caenorhabditis elegans provide in vivo evidence that the ephrin receptor VAB-1 displays genetic interactions with known MYCBP2 binding proteins. Together, our results align with the similarity of neurodevelopmental phenotypes caused by MYCBP2 and EPHB2 loss of function, and couple EPHB2 to a signalling effector that controls diverse cellular functions.
Protein family neighborhood analyzer—ProFaNA

Background

Functionally related genes are well known to be often grouped in close vicinity in the genomes, particularly in prokaryotes. Notwithstanding the diverse evolutionary mechanisms leading to this phenomenon, it can be used to predict functions of uncharacterized genes.

Methods

Here, we provide a simple but robust statistical approach that leverages the vast amounts of genomic data available today. Considering a protein domain as a functional unit, one can explore other functional units (domains) that significantly often occur within the genomic neighborhoods of the queried domain. This analysis can be performed across different taxonomic levels. Provisions can also be made to correct for the uneven sampling of the taxonomic space by genomic sequencing projects that often focus on large numbers of very closely related strains, e.g., pathogenic ones. To this end, an optional procedure for averaging occurrences within subtaxa is available.

Results

Several examples show this approach can provide useful functional predictions for uncharacterized gene families, and how to combine this information with other approaches. The method is made available as a web server at http://bioinfo.sggw.edu.pl/neighborhood_analysis.

Der dritte Band der "Hamburger Historischen Forschungen" beschäftigt sich mit der bislang kaum bekannten Geschichte eines Hauses im Grindelviertel in Hamburg. Es beheimatet heute das katholische Studentenwohnheim Franziskus-Kolleg. Im späten 19. Jahrhundert war es ein jüdisches Wohnheim für bedürftige ältere Menschen. Die Geschichte dieses jüdischen Altenhauses wird von den Gründungsbemühungen bis zur Jahrhundertwende in dieser fundierten Studie erstmals geschildert. Sie liefert damit einen Beitrag zur Erforschung des vielfältigen jüdischen Lebens in Hamburg.
Mechanical Simulation on the Vertical Migration of Ore-forming Elements in Soil Cover

For deep-penetrating geochemistry, there is a frontier issue as to how to explore ore-bearing information deep in covered areas, while it is, too, important to investigate the geochemical migration of ore-forming elements for the development of exploration geochemistry. In this study, a 380-day migration column experiment was conducted with surface soil and pure Cu powder collected from the Yujiashan study area in Wuhan City, Hubei Province taken as the object of research to simulate the migration process of ore-forming elements under natural conditions. The results showed obvious vertical migration of the ore-forming elements and conversion of mobile metal forms in the process; further, according to 6 groups of simulation experiments that took 45 days to conduct on migration column samples and the surface oil and Cu powder collected from the Pulang mining area in Yunnan Province, the vertical migration of the ore-forming element was still visible, and the exogenous substance (pure Cu powder) could enhance the anomaly without changing the basic migration mechanism. This indicates that Cu might migrate in a stable manner in soil cover in the Pulang mining area, and its migration was mostly driven by the transformation of Fe-Mn oxide bound state and organic bound state; finally, a multifractal analysis was conducted, revealing that the ore-forming elements presented a nonlinear and complex structure during their upward migration, which caused anomalies in the covered area, and multiple parameters exerted a certain indicative effect on different source intensities and properties of soil. In this study, laboratory simulations were performed to summarize the active-state evolution pattern and migration mechanism of ore-forming elements with a view to providing technical support and theoretical guidance for geochemical prospecting in the covered region.
