Introduction

The study evaluated the patterns of local innate immune response in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) cells of pigs infected with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) alone or co-infected with swine influenza virus (SIV).

Material and Methods

The study was performed on 26 seven-week-old pigs in three groups: PRRSV-infected (n = 11), PRRSV and SIV-infected (n = 11), and control (n = 4). BALF was collected post euthanasia at 2 and 4 dpi (three piglets per inoculated group) and at 21 dpi (all remaining pigs). Expression of IFN-α, IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10 mRNA was quantified in BALF cells. PRRSV RNA was quantified in BALF samples using a commercial real-time RT-PCR kit.

Results

The three cytokines IFN-α, IFN-γ, and IL-1β presented significant expression changes in all experimental pigs. In PRRSV-infected animals IL-8 also did, but in co-infected subjects IL-6 and IL-10 were the additional upregulated cytokines. The highest number of differentially expressed genes was observed at 4 dpi, and significant differences in cytokine gene expression did not occur between the experimental groups at any other time point. The mean PRRSV load in the BALF of PRRSV-infected pigs was higher than that of co-infected pigs at each time point, having statistical significance only at 4 dpi.

Conclusion

The results of the study indicate that infection with PRRSV alone as well as with SIV interferes with innate and adaptive immune response in the infected host. They also showed that co-infection demonstrates additive effects on IL-6 and IL-10 mRNA expression levels.
An experimental study of branching flow in open channels
Authors: Sayed Tarek
Published: October 2019

Branching channel flow describes any side water withdrawals from rivers or main channels. Branching channels have widespread application in many practical projects, such as irrigation and drainage network systems, water and waste-water treatment plants, and many water resources projects. Therefore, in this research, a comprehensive analysis of laboratory data has been carried out to discover the best angle of branching. The study also aims to introduce simple, practical equations to help engineers of water resources to fix the percentage of discharge diverted to the branch channel. The study was carried out in the Irrigation and hydraulics laboratory of the civil department, Faculty of Engineering, Assiut University. The laboratory channel consisted of two parts, the main channel, and a branch channel. The main channel was 8.0 m in length, 20 cm wide, and 20 cm in depth. The division corner to the branch channel was sharp edged and located 5.0 m downstream of the main channel inlet. The branch channel was 3.0 m long, 20 cm in depth and its width was changed three times (10, 15, and 20 cm) respectively. A total of 84 runs were carried out. Investigations of the flow into the branching channel show that the branching discharge depends on many interlinked parameters. It increases with a decrease of the main channel flow velocity and the Froude number upstream of the branch channel junction. It also increases with an increase in the Yb
/ Yu
ratio. In subcritical flow, water depth in the branch channel is always lower than the main channel water depth. The flow diversion to the branch channel leads to a decrease in water depth downstream of the main channel. In addition, the study showed that the highest discharge rate was obtained when the angle of branching was equal to 45° and then an angle of 60o. While the lowest discharge rate was obtained at an angle of 90°. Furthermore, at Br
= 1.0, using a branching angle equal to 45° the discharge ratio (Qr
) increases from about 4.42 to 19.01%, more than that obtained with using the branching angle equal 90°, while the discharge ratio (Qr
) increases from about 0.52 to 49.18% and 1.51 to 24.79%, at Br
= 0.75, and Br
= 0.5 respectively.

Published: October 2019

There are many reasons why individuals are motivated to participate in sports. For athletes to participate in and keep up exercise, investigating the participation motivation of athletes is necessary. The aim of this study was to compare sport participation motivation of athletes in team and individual disciplines. The sample consisted of 265 athletes including four teams from football, volleyball, basketball, and handball and two individual disciplines of kung fu and taekwondo which were randomly selected. The 30-item sports participation motivation questionnaire (PMQ) was used. Analysis of data was conducted by the use of independent-samples t-test. The results showed that there is a significant difference between the sports participation motivation of athletes in a team and individual sports as well as between male and female athletes. But, among the components of the sports participation motivation, only the aspect of achievement in a team and individual sports and the aspect of finding friendship in male and female athletes existed, no other significant difference was observed. The results of this study show that sports discipline and the athlete’s gender is effective in motivating athletes’ continuation and commitment to a physical activity.

Published: October 2019

The new requirements regarding the professionalization of the Romanian armed forces derived from our country’s becoming a NATO and EU member state. The challenges of the 21st century battlefield demand the development not only of certain soldierly skills, but also of the abilities to properly function in a multicultural context. The cadets of the military academies are the future officers that will operate in the international theatres of operations. Being engaged in multinational formations and having to work side by side with foreign military personnel, our cadets need to have a good command of the English language, as well as to acquire and develop the intercultural skills necessary to appropriately function in a multicultural environment. Thus, a shift in the curricula of the Romanian military academies has been made, from an emphasis on the transmission of knowledge content to a focus on relating language to the target culture and developing cadets’ linguistic and intercultural competences. This paper suggests some methods and techniques that have proven efficient when teaching basic military English in the Land Forces Academy.

Short note: Development of a new set of SNP markers to measure genetic diversity and genetic differentiation of Mongolian oak (Quercus mon­golica Fisch. ex Ledeb.) in the Far East of Russia
Authors: Schröder Hilke , Yanbaev Yulai , Kersten Birgit , Degen Bernd
Published: October 2019

We developed a new set of 25 nuclear (nc), 12 chloroplast (cp) and 7 mitochondrial (mt) SNPs and used it to genotype 371 Mongolian oak (Quercus mongolica Fisch. ex Ledeb.) trees from seven locations in a 200 km by 400 km area in the Russian Far East. One of the locations in an area of 15 km by 25 km east of the city Ussuriusk was analyzed more intensively with 188 collected trees. The genetic differentiation at the nuclear SNPs was small to moderate and for the plastid SNPs it was high when considering all trees from the seven locations. The gene pool distances between locations were for 19 out of 21 pairs statistically highly significant. There was no correlation of genetic and spatial distances. Only three different multilocus-haplotypes could be identified and 42 two-loci-combinations of plastid SNPs could be used to identify them. Conclusions for the practical application such as timber tracking and gene conservation are discussed.

Authors: Widayati Dwi
Published: October 2019

This paper aims to describe the diversity of the main culinary eco-lexicon in Malay society. Data were collected through interviews with informants who were very familiar with the traditional culinary eco-lexicon. An in-depth discussion with content analysis is carried out on each culinary eco-lexicon, especially in the effort of meaning and description. The analysis of the diversity of culinary eco-lexicon is done by using ecolinguistic theory. From the results of the analysis it was concluded that there is a diversity of culinary eco-lexicons which refer to certain types of culinary, for example for culinary weaving, four variations of the eco-lexicon, namely anyang buas-buas (Langkat Malay, and Asahan Malay), anyang sibuas-savas leaves (Serdang Malay), anyang sibuih-buih (Batubara Malay), and labar buas-buas (Panai Malay). It indicates that the eco-lexicon diversity of culinary names and types of herbs reflects the understanding of the speaker toward their environment. The more lexicons use to reflect the environment indicates the richness of the environment itself.

Published: October 2019

Esta investigación propone reconocer discursos subalternos de personas transexuales-transgénero (trans) acerca de sus ocupaciones, visibilizando la diversidad de sus prácticas sociales. La metodología fue cualitativa, de carácter descriptivo-interpretativo. Se realizaron entrevistas en profundidad, semi-estructuradas, a cuatro personas mayores de 18 años, seleccionadas de manera intencionada. Se efectuó análisis de discurso, estableciendo tres ejes: autoreconocimiento; discurso y ocupación; práctica social y sus lugares de enunciación. Los resultados dan cuenta de que lxs sujetxs trans desarrollan su identidad desde estereotipos de género referentes a la dicotomía hombre-mujer, donde socialmente lo masculino presenta privilegios sobre lo femenino; así, se advierte que la heteronormatividad patriarcal está implícita en sus ocupaciones y en su vida cotidiana. Emergen discursos dominantes y subalternos, comprendidos desde lo bueno-aceptable y lo malo-fuera de la norma.

Published: October 2019

Machine learning (ML) models are increasingly used to predict molecular prop- erties in a high-throughput setting at a much lower computational cost than con- ventional electronic structure calculations. Such ML models require descriptors that encode the molecular structure in a vector. These descriptors are generally designed to respect the symmetries and invariances of the target property. However, size- extensivity is usually not guaranteed for so-called global descriptors. In this contri- bution, we show how extensivity can be build into ML models with global descriptors such as the Many-Body Tensor Representation. Properties of extensive and non- extensive models for the atomization energy are systematically explored by training on small molecules and testing on small, medium and large molecules. Our result shows that the non-extensive model is only useful in the size-range of its training set, whereas the extensive models provide reasonable predictions across large size differences. Remaining sources of error for the extensive models are discussed.
Nudged Elastic Band Calculations Accelerated with Gaussian Process Regression Based on Inverse Inter-Atomic Distances
Authors: Koistinen Olli-Pekka , Ásgeirsson Vilhjálmur , Vehtari Aki , Jónsson Hannes
Published: October 2019

Calculations of minimum energy paths for atomic rearrangements using the nudged elastic band method can be accelerated with Gaussian process regression to reduce the number of energy and atomic force evaluations needed for convergence. Problems can arise, however, when configurations with large forces due to short distance between atoms are included in the data set. Here, a significant improvement to the Gaussian process regression approach is obtained by basing the difference measure between two atomic configurations in the covariance function on the inverted inter-atomic distances and by adding a new early stopping criterion for the path relaxation phase. This greatly improves the performance of the method in two applications where the original formulation does not work well: a dissociative adsorption of an H2 molecule on a Cu(110) Surface and a diffusion hop of an H2O molecule on an ice Ih(0001) surface. Also, the revised method works better in the previously analyzed benchmark application to rearrangement transitions of a heptamer island on a surface, requiring fewer energy and force evaluations for convergence to the minimum energy path.
Dynamic Structural Changes Accompany the Production of 2-Dihydroxypropanesulfonate by Sulfolactaldehyde Reductase

Published: October 2019

2,3-Dihydroxypropanesulfonate (DHPS) is a major sulfur species in the biosphere. One important route for the production of DHPS includes sulfoglycolytic catabolism of sulfoquinovose (SQ) through the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas (sulfo-EMP) pathway. SQ is a sulfonated carbohydrate present in plant and cyanobacterial sulfolipids (sulfoquinovosyl diacylglyceride and its metabolites) and is biosynthesised globally at a rate of around 10 billion tonnes per annum. The final step in the bacterial sulfo-EMP pathway involves reduction of sulfolactaldehyde (SLA) to DHPS, catalysed by an NADH-dependent SLA reductase. On the basis of conserved sequence motifs, we assign SLA reductase to the β-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase (β-HAD) family, making it the first example of a β-HAD enzyme that acts on a sulfonic acid, rather than a carboxylic acid substrate. We report crystal structures of the SLA reductase YihU from E. coli K-12 in its apo and cofactor-bound states, as well as the ternary complex YihU•NADH•DHPS with the cofactor and product bound in the active site. Conformational flexibility observed in these structures, combined with kinetic studies, confirm a sequential mechanism and provide evidence for dynamic domain movements that occur during catalysis. The ternary complex structure reveals a conserved sulfonate pocket in SLA reductase that recognises the sulfonate oxygens through hydrogen bonding to Asn174, Ser178, and the backbone amide of Arg123, along with an ordered water molecule. This triad of residues distinguishes these enzymes from classical β-HADs that act on carboxylate substrates. A comparison of YihU crystal structures with close structural homologues within the β-HAD family highlights key differences in the overall domain organization and identifies a unique peptide sequence that is predictive of SLA reductase activity.
Differentiating the Role of Organic Additives to Assemble Open Framework Aluminosilicate Zeolites Using INS Spectroscopy

Published: October 2019

Presently there is little clarity concerning how organic additives control structure formation in the synthesis of zeolite catalysts and their chemistry. Such ambiguity is a major obstacle towards the synthesis design for new bespoke zeolites with intended applications. Herein, we have applied inelastic neutron scattering (INS) spectroscopy to experimentally probe the organic-framework interactions that are crucial to the structure direction process. With this technique we have studied the dynamics of 18-crown-6 ether, which can be used as an additive to direct the formation of four zeolites: Na-X, EMC-2, RHO and ZK-5. We observe significant softening of the 18-crown-6 ether molecule’s dynamics upon occlusion within a zeolite host, with a strong influence on both the circular and radial vibrational modes. Furthermore, there is a strong correlation between the efficacy of the organic additive and the strength of the organic-framework interactions, which are a consequence of both the framework cavity size and geometry. We propose that the approach used herein should be used to study other zeolites, and hence gain a more comprehensive view of structure directing organic-framework interactions.
On the Design of Molecular Excitonic Circuits for Quantum Computing: The Universal Quantum Gates
Authors: Castellanos Maria , Dodin Amro , Willard Adam
Published: October 2019

This manuscript presents a theoretical strategy for encoding elementary quantum computing operations into the design of molecular excitonic circuits. Specifically, we show how the action of a unitary transformation of coupled two-level systems can be equivalently represented by the evolution of an exciton in a coupled network of dye molecules. We apply this strategy to identify the geometric parameters for circuits that perform universal quantum logic gate operations. We quantify the design space for these circuits and how their performance is affected by environmental noise.

Published: October 2019

Undergraduate students often find it difficult to understand the chemical principles underlying liquid-liquid extractions. Explanations on how extractions work at the molecular level in textbook and internet resources are plentiful, but students still do not seem able to grasp how extractions work before having to perform the technique in a laboratory course. To address this difficulty in understanding, we developed an Extraction on Paper Activity. We envision this activity as a tool to help students understand and apply the chemical principles underlying liquid-liquid extractions outside of and before entering into a laboratory setting.

We propose a new design of a 2x2 optical chip for switching optical modes based on silicon material. Input lights at fundamental mode of transverse electric (TE) polarization can be selected at the output by appropriately controlling a 180-degree butterfly-shaped phase shifter. The proposed device consists of two multimode interference waveguides MMI and a phase shifter packed in a compact size of 4.2μm x 0.22μm x 110.4μm. We use 3D-BPM numerical simulation method to evaluate optical conversion efficiency of device. The result shows that insertion loss is always less than 1.5dB and crosstalk is always below -30dB in a wavelength range from 1.5  to 1.6 . Moreover, we continue to evaluate the proposed device on the system with signal’s bitrate of 35Gbps, the bit error rate is always less than 10-10 in the whole bandwidth of 100nm.

Pendapatan nelayan adalah salah satu ukuran dalam menentukan taraf kehidupan nelayan.  Pendapatan nelayan umumnya diperoleh dari sistem bagi hasil operasi penangkapan ikan.  Untuk mengatur sistem bagi hasil itu, Pemerintah membuat dan menerapkan UU Sistem Bagi Hasil No 16 tahun 1964. Penelitian dilakukan di PPI Cisolok untuk alat tangkap pancing ulur guna mengetahui sistem bagi hasil beserta kendala yang terjadi di lapangan. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Data diambil secara purposive sampling. Berdasarkan hasil observasi diperoleh bahwa usaha penangkapan ikan dengan pancing di Cisolok didominasi oleh nelayan dengan kapal relatif kecil, hasil rata-rata pendapatan kapal per bulan adalah Rp. 37.713.333 (musim banyak ikan) dan Rp. 13.199.666 (musim paceklik).  Sistem bagi hasil untuk kapal pancing di Pelabuhanratu adalah 60% untuk pemilik kapal dan 40% untuk nelayan dari hasil bersih. Rataan pendapatan nelayan berada di atas UMK Kabupaten Sukabumi. Hampir semua peraturan tentang sistem bagi hasil sudah dilaksanakan tetapi nelayan masih dalam kondisi miskin.Kata kunci: Bagi hasil, Cisolok, pancing.

Resumo: Neste estudo, com o intuito de compreender a gestão pedagógica de ambientes de aprendizagem online, definimos um quadro metodológico de orientação qualitativa, orientado pela análise das práticas de docentes do Ensino Superior em Portugal, no que diz respeito às atividades educacionais desenvolvidas, aos recursos didáticos produzidos e às ferramentas de comunicação utilizadas. Para a recolha dos dados procedemos à observação direta de quatro ambientes de aprendizagem online, complementados por alguns dados provenientes de um inquérito por entrevista semiestruturada aos três docentes responsáveis pela sua gestão pedagógica. Os resultados revelaram que existem professores no Ensino Superior em Portugal que estão a mudar as suas práticas, respondendo assim ao desafio colocado pelo Processo de Bolonha. No entanto, estes resultados também evidenciam a existência de muitas dificuldades de usabilidade de ferramentas digitais interativas, sendo, pois, necessário apostar mais não só na formação pedagógica, mas também na formação docente na área das Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação.

Education in Islam teaches to educate children independently, because in the end each individual will be held accountable for what he has done in the world. Based on observations, classroom learning activities are limited to the delivery of material without integrating Islamic values. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of integrated science learning modules on religious values in developing students independent character. The study used the quasi-experimental design of the pretest-posttest control group design. The sample used in this study was 64 students in 5 grade. Data collection techniques are using the observation and data analysis using SPSS 20 for window software. The results showed that the average difference in pretest and posttest was 7.2069 in the experimental class and 3.5455 in the control class. This shows that the integrated science learning module of religious values influences the development of independent character.

Identifikasi interval batuan yang mungkin berpotensi sebagai batuan induk merupakan langkah awal eksplorasi yang penting, oleh sebab itu perlu dilakukan penelitian tentang potensi batuan sedimen yang mengandung bahan organik dengan kadar tertentu, yang oleh panas dan waktu dapat menghasilkan hidrokarbon dalam bentuk minyak atau gas secara tepat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi fasies dan potensi batuan induk hidrokarbon Formasi Gumai di Talang Padang, Cekungan Sumatra Selatan. Analisis geokimia guna mengetahui potensi dan kualitas batuan induk dilakukan pada serpih penyusun Formasi Gumai. Hasil analisis potensi dan kualitas Batuan Induk menunjukkan kandungan TOC 3,55 termasuk “sangat baik”. Rock-Eval menunjukkan bahwa serpih berpotensi “sedang” sebagai batuan induk hidrokarbon (S2 = 4,32 kg/ton). Angka Ro (<0,6) menunjukkan tingkat pematangan hidrokarbon belum tercapai. Nilai HI yang relatif tinggi mencerminkan bahwa batuan ini jika mencapai kematangan akan cenderung menghasilkan minyak. Nilai HI antara 456 mgHC/g umumnya berasal dari kerogen tipe II yang secara dominan mengandung unsur organisme laut dan darat.

Rock Identification intervals that might be as potential source rocks is an important initial exploration step, therefore it is necessary to conduct research on the potential of sedimentary rocks containing certain levels of organic material, which by heat and time can produce hydrocarbons in the form of oil or gas appropriately. This study aims to identify the facies and potentials of the Gumai Formation hydrocarbon source rock in Talang Padang, South Sumatra Basin. Geochemical analysis to determine the potential and quality of the source rock is carried out on the Gumai Formation shale. The results of the analysis of the potential and quality of the Parent Rock showed that the TOC content of 3.55 was "very good". Rock-Eval shows that shale has the potential to be "medium" as a hydrocarbon source rock (S2 = 4.32 kg/ton). Ro (<0.6) indicates the level of hydrocarbon maturation has not been reached. The relatively high HI value reflects that if these rocks reach maturity they will tend to produce oil. HI values between 456 mgHC/g are generally derived from type II kerogen which predominantly contains marine and terrestrial organisms.
