Background: In this study, molecular biomarkers that play a role in the development of generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAgP) are investigated using gingival tissue samples through omics‐based whole‐genome transcriptomics while using healthy individuals as background controls.

Methods: Gingival tissue biopsies from 23 patients with GAgP and 25 healthy individuals were analyzed using gene‐expression microarrays with network and pathway analyses to identify gene‐expression patterns. To substantiate the results of the microarray studies, real‐time quantitative reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction (qRT‐PCR) was performed to assess the messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of MZB1 and DSC1. The microarrays and qRT‐PCR resulted in similar gene‐expression changes, confirming the reliability of the microarray results at the mRNA level.

Results: As a result of the gene‐expression microarray studies, four significant gene networks were identified. The most upregulated genes were found as MZB1, TNFRSF17, PNOC, FCRL5, LAX1, BMS1P20, IGLL5, MMP7, SPAG4, and MEI1; the most downregulated genes were found as LOR, LAMB4, AADACL2, MAPT, ARG1, NPR3, AADAC, DSC1, LRRC4, and CHP2.

Conclusions: Functions of the identified genes that were involved in gene networks were cellular development, cell growth and proliferation, cellular movement, cell–cell signaling and interaction, humoral immune response, protein synthesis, cell death and survival, cell population and organization, organismal injury and abnormalities, molecular transport, and small‐molecule biochemistry. The data suggest new networks that have important functions as humoral immune response and organismal injury/abnormalities. Future analyses may facilitate proteomic profiling analyses to identify gene‐expression patterns related to clinical outcome.

Published: July 2015

Ecotypes of sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) have not been extensively studied, and knowledge about their variation is generally limited. In the present study, 100 sainfoin genotypes from 10 ecotypes were clonally propagated and evaluated under water‐stressed and nonstressed conditions for 2 yr. Among‐ and within‐ecotype variation plus heritability of agronomic, morphological, and physiological traits were estimated and the associations of traits were determined. For most of the measured traits among‐ and within‐ecotype effects were significant. The variance within ecotypes was at least four times higher for most of the measured traits when compared with variance among ecotypes. The within‐ecotype contribution was 67 to 71% for dry matter yield (DMY), 69% for number of stems per plant, and 69 to 91% for morphological traits. Large within‐ecotype variation for DMY and yield‐related traits could express yield stability across environments and maximize genetic progress per breeding cycle. The lowest heritability estimates were obtained for DMY and leaf‐to‐stem ratio, and the highest one was estimated for antioxidant activity and chlorophyll content. Water stress caused significant decrease in all measured traits except for carotenoid content, proline content, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase activity. Genotypic differences for water‐stress tolerance identified in this study were mainly attributed to the ability of tolerant ecotypes to accumulate a greater amount of proline in their leaves in response to water stress. Dry matter yield had positive correlations with plant height, inflorescence length, number of stems per plant, and proline content under both moisture environments. On the basis of factor analysis, the first three factors in both environments were considered as “forage yield components,” “photosynthetic pigments,” and “antioxidant activity.” High within‐ecotype variation indicated the importance of selection within populations for suitable parental materials in sainfoin breeding. Baft was the best ecotype under both moisture environments in this respect.
Foreign Protein Detection in Transgenic Rice Revealed by Comparative Proteomic Analysis
Authors: Yang Yanhua , Dai Li , Zhu Keming , Xia Hengchuan , Chen Liang , Liu Hailong , Chen Keping
Published: July 2015

To investigate whether the foreign protein in transgenic rice (Oryza sativa L.) can be detected and then characterize the different proteins between transgenic rice and nontransgenic rice, we employed proteomic tools including two‐dimensional electrophoresis (2‐DE) and mass spectrometry (MS) to globally identify different proteins between Bt‐‘Minghui 63’ (MH63) (with the fused Cry1Ab–Cry1Ac gene) and its nontransgenic control MH63. In all, 37 statistically different proteins between Bt‐MH63 and MH63 were successfully identified, including six unique proteins in Bt‐MH63. Gene ontology analysis showed that these six unique proteins were mainly involved in metabolic, catalytic, binding, and antioxidant process. Among these six unique proteins, two non‐rice source proteins, phosphinothricin‐N‐acetyltransferase, were only expressed in germinating seed and seedling of Bt‐MH63, but not in MH63, which were further confirmed by matrix‐assisted laser desorption–ionization time of flight (MALDI‐TOF) MS–MS analysis. Our work suggests that a comparative proteomic approach may be feasible for identifying foreign proteins and genes in rice.
Application and Validation of an Upscaling Method for Unsaturated Water Flow Processes in Heterogeneous Soils
Authors: Li Na , Ren Li , Yue Xingye
Published: July 2015

Upscaling of soil water flow processes and soil hydraulic properties is one of the most important issues in vadose zone research. The difficulties in such upscaling come from the heterogeneity and nonlinearity of the soil properties. Sharing some common element with the multiscale methods, an upscaling method was previously proposed for a class of nonlinear parabolic equations including the Richards equation, which is often used for modeling flow processes in soils. To verify its applicability in more realistic and varied flow scenarios, in this study we applied the method to one‐ and two‐dimensional simulations of unsaturated water flow through heterogeneous soil profiles under different boundary conditions including infiltration, evaporation, and drainage. The Gardner–Basha model and the Mualem–van Genuchten model were used as the constitutive relations to close the Richards equation. Results show that the upscaling method can effectively capture the large‐scale structure of fine‐scale behavior in these realistic and varied scenarios. Note that in this study we pre‐calculated the effective hydraulic functions by solving the local problems outside the coarse‐scale simulation to avoid the expensive computation of upscaling these functions, which need to be updated at each time step on each coarse block. In our examples, we observed that, compared with the upscaling method that calculates the effective hydraulic functions by solving the fine‐scale problems during the coarse‐scale simulation, the upscaling method with pre‐calculation saved more than 83 and 90% of the central processing unit time in the one‐ and two‐dimensional simulations, respectively, without compromising accuracy.
Limit behavior of maxima in geometric words representing set partitions
Authors: Fuchs Michael , Javanian Mehri
Published: July 2015

We consider geometric words ?1....?n with letters satisfying the restricted
growth property ?k ? d + max{?0,...,?k-1}, where ?0 := 0 and d ? 1. For d = 1
these words are in 1-to-1 correspondence with set partitions and for this
case, we show that the number of left-to-right maxima (suitable centered)
does not converge to a fixed limit law as n tends to infinity. This becomes
wrong for d ? 2, for which we prove that convergence does occur and the limit
law is normal. Moreover, we also consider related quantities such as the
value of the maximal letter and the number of maximal letters and show again
non-convergence to a fixed limit law.
Free convection in wavy porous enclosures with non-uniform temperature boundary conditions filled with a nanofluid: Buongiorno’s mathematical model
Authors: Sheremet Mikhail , Pop Ioan
Published: July 2015

In the present work, the influence of the amplitude ratio, phase deviation, and undulation number on natural convection in a wavy-walled enclosures differentially heated and filled with a water based nanofluid is studied. The upper and bottom walls are wavy with several undulations. The sinusoidal distribution of temperature is imposed at the vertical walls. The flow, heat, and mass transfer are calculated by solving governing equations for embody the conservation of total mass, momentum, thermal energy, and nanoparticles, taking into account the Darcy-Boussinesq-Buongiorno approximation with second order finite difference method in ?stream function-temperature-concentration? formulation. Results are presented in the form of streamlines, isotherm, and isoconcentration contours, and distributions of the average Nusselt number for the different values of the amplitude ratio of the sinusoidal temperature on the right side wall to that on the left side wall (? = 0-1), phase deviation (? = 0-?), and undulation number (? = 1-4). It has been found that variations of the undulation number allow to control the heat and mass transfer rates. Moreover, an increase in the undulation number leads to an extension of the non-homogeneous zones.
Application of adaptive neuro-fuzzy interference system models for prediction of forest fires in the usa on the basis of solar activity
Authors: Radovanovic Milan , Vyklyuk Yaroslav , Milenkovic Milan , Vukovic Darko , Matsiuk Nataliya
Published: July 2015

In this research we search for a functional dependence between the occurrence
of forest fires in the USA and the factors which characterize the solar
activity. For this purpose we used several methods (R/S analysis, Hurst
index) to establish potential links between the influx of some parameters
from the sun and the occurrence of forest fires with lag of several days. We
found evidence for a connection and developed a prognostic scenario based on
the Adaptive neuro-fuzzy interference system (ANFIS) technique. This scenario
allows the prediction between 79-93% of forest fires.
Efficiency of liquid flat-plate solar energy collector with solar tracking system
Authors: Chekerovska Marija , Filkoski Risto
Published: July 2015

An extensive testing programme is performed on a solar collector experimental
set-up, installed on a location in Shtip (Republic of Macedonia), latitude
41? 45? and longitude 22? 12?, in order to investigate the effect of the sun
tracking system implementation on the collector efficiency. The set-up
consists of two flat plate solar collectors, one with a fixed surface tilted
at 30? towards the South, and the other one equipped with dual-axis rotation
system. The study includes development of a 3-D mathematical model of the
collectors system and a numerical simulation programme, based on the
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach. The main aim of the mathematical
modelling is to provide information on conduction, convection and radiation
heat transfer, so as to simulate the heat transfer performances and the
energy capture capabilities of the fixed and moving collectors in various
operating modes. The feasibility of the proposed method was confirmed by
experimental verification, showing significant increase of the daily energy
capture by the moving collector, compared to the immobile collector unit. The
comparative analysis demonstrates a good agreement between the experimental
and numerically predicted results at different running conditions, which is a
proof that the presented CFD modelling approach can be used for further
investigations of different solar collectors configurations and flow schemes.
The effect of the thermal component change on regional climate indices in Serbia
Authors: Joksimovic Marko , Gajic Mirjana , Vujadinovic Snezana , Golic Rajko , Vukovic Darko
Published: July 2015

The study of climate changes is most often based on the analysis of time
series of temperature and precipitation in urban areas and the increase in
the emission of gases having a greenhouse effect. On the other hand, the
selection of representative and relevant stations and comprehensive analysis
of climate indicators lead to better and more exact assessments on climate
changes at the regional level. In order to connect climate changes with
agricultural, biological, socio-economic and tourism databases, the paper
deals with the dynamic analysis of changes in thermal component expressed
through the values of regional climate indices in four climatological
stations with different geographical positions in Serbia. There are
significant differences between the two time series data (1961-1990 and
1991-2013) on temperature and humidity, precipitation, insolation and wind
speed. However, after using the climatic indices as a tool for assessing
climate changes, the results of the study suggest the relative influence of
the thermal component on the change of climate indices, with a slight
increase in the index of significance for human activities. Relying on the
results of this alternative approach to the study of climate changes, the
fact remains that the climate is not fixed but highly variable factor that
should be taken into consideration in terms of monitoring, evaluation and
management of the area.
Cross-Border Financing by the Industrial Sector Increases Competition in the Domestic Banking Sector
Authors: Jayaraman Sudarshan , Kothari S. P.
Published: July 2015

We predict that access to cross-border financing by the industrial sector reduces firms' reliance on domestic banks, thereby leading to lower rents for banks and greater competition in the domestic banking sector. We also predict that banks take on more risk to offset these lost rents and remain competitive. Using mandatory adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) to identify variation in cross-border financing, we find evidence consistent with our hypotheses. Additional tests verify that the effects emanate from the demand side (i.e., firms not relying on banks) rather than the supply side (i.e., banks not willing to lend to firms). Overall, we document how competition from overseas financial markets influences the domestic banking sector.
Corporate Accountability Reporting and High-Profile Misconduct
Authors: Christensen Dane M.
Published: July 2015

I investigate whether corporate accountability reporting helps protect firm value. Specifically, I examine (1) whether corporate accountability reporting helps firms prevent the occurrence of high-profile misconduct (e.g., bribery, kickbacks, discrimination), and (2) whether prior corporate accountability reporting reduces the negative stock price reaction when high-profile misconduct does occur. Using multiple methods to address self-selection, I find that, on average, firms that report on their corporate accountability activities are less likely to engage in high-profile misconduct, consistent with the reporting process helping firms to manage their operations better. Additionally, I find that when high-profile misconduct does occur, firms that have previously issued corporate accountability reports experience a less negative stock price reaction, consistent with corporate accountability reports influencing perceptions of managerial intent, which, in turn, influences expected punishments.
Putative precipitating factors for hepatic encephalopathy in dogs: 118 cases (1991–2014)
Authors: Lidbury Jonathan A. , Ivanek Renata , Suchodolski Jan S. , Steiner Jörg M.
Published: July 2015

Objective—To elucidate the relationship between plasma ammonia concentration and severity of hepatic encephalopathy and determine whether factors that precipitate hepatic encephalopathy in humans are associated with the presence of clinical signs of hepatic encephalopathy in dogs previously treated for the disease.

Design—Retrospective case series.

Animals—118 dogs with hepatic encephalopathy.

Procedures—The medical records database of a veterinary teaching hospital was searched for records of dogs in which hepatic encephalopathy was diagnosed between October 1, 1991, and September 1, 2014. Hepatic encephalopathy severity was graded on a 5-point scale, and the correlation between disease severity and plasma ammonia concentration was determined. Respective associations between hepatic encephalopathy and systemic inflammatory response syndrome, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, dietary indiscretion, constipation, furosemide treatment, azotemia, hypokalemia, hyponatremia, alkalosis, and hyperammonemia were assessed by Fisher exact tests followed by multivariable logistic regression.

Results—Severity of hepatic encephalopathy at hospital admission was not significantly correlated with plasma ammonia concentration. Dogs treated for hepatic encephalopathy prior to hospital admission were significantly less likely to have clinical signs of the disease at hospital admission, compared with dogs that were not treated for the disease (OR, 0.36; 95% confidence interval, 0.17 to 0.78). None of the putative precipitating factors for hepatic encephalopathy were significantly associated with the presence of clinical signs of the disease at hospital admission.

Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—Results indicated that hepatic encephalopathy treatment alleviated clinical signs of the disease. Further investigation is necessary to identify precipitating factors for hepatic encephalopathy in dogs. (J Am Vet Med Assoc 2015;247:176–183)
Financial expectations of first-year veterinary students
Authors: Lim Christine C. , Schulhofer-Wohl Sam , Root Kustritz Margaret V. , Molgaard Laura K. , Lee David
Published: July 2015

Objective—To assess student awareness of the financial costs of pursuing a veterinary education, to determine student expectations for financial returns of a veterinary career, and to identify associations between student debt and factors such as future career plans or personality type.

Design—Survey.

Sample—First-year veterinary students at the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine.

Procedures—In 2013, prior to the first day of class, all incoming first-year students received an email invitation to complete an online survey. The survey contained questions about demographics, current financial situation, current debt, expected debt at graduation, expected annual income following graduation, intent to pursue specialty training, and Myers-Briggs personality type.

Results—72 of 102 (71%) students completed the survey; 65 respondents answered all relevant questions and provided usable data. Student responses for expected debt at graduation were comparable to national averages for veterinary college graduates; responses for expected annual income following graduation were lower than averages for University of Minnesota veterinary college graduates and national averages. However, students predicted even lower annual income if they did not attend veterinary college. Expected debt and expected annual income were not correlated with factors such as personality type or future career plans.

Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—Results indicated that first-year veterinary students were aware of the financial costs of their veterinary education and had realistic expectations for future salaries. For typical veterinary students, attending veterinary college appeared to be financially worthwhile, given lower expected earnings otherwise. (J Am Vet Med Assoc 2015;247:196–203)
Intranasal Spray Medications for Maintenance Therapy of Allergic Rhinitis
Authors: Berger William E. , Meltzer Eli O.
Published: July 2015

Background

Intranasal sprays are recommended as targeted therapy for allergic rhinitis (AR) by providing direct delivery of medication to the nasal mucosa, reducing the potential for systemic adverse effects, decreasing burden of disease, and improving quality of life.

Objective

To review currently available intranasal sprays indicated for maintenance therapy of AR in the United States: intranasal antihistamines (INAH); intranasal corticosteroids (INCS); and MP-AzeFlu, a single formulation nasal spray of the INAH, azelastine hydrochloride, and the INCS, fluticasone propionate.

Methods

MEDLINE searches were conducted to identify placebo-controlled studies of commercially available prescription nasal sprays at U.S.-approved doses and indications, and published after an earlier systematic review of AR treatment. Inclusion criteria were ≥20 subjects; duration of ≥2 weeks for seasonal (or episodic) AR, ≥4 weeks for perennial (or persistent) AR, and reporting a total nasal symptom score as a primary or secondary outcome.

Results

Twenty studies met the inclusion criteria: 4 pediatric, 16 adult/adolescent. There were 4 perennial AR studies (381 children, 1607 adults) and 16 seasonal AR trials (3081 children, 6548 adults). In these studies, 2451 subjects (481 children, 1970 adults) received an INCS, 3001 (1116 children, 1885 adults) received an INAH, and 346 adult subjects received MP-AzeFlu. All active treatments were well tolerated and effective as measured by the reduction in nasal symptoms. Head-to-head comparisons were only available for MP-AzeFlu versus the individual active agent components. MP-AzeFlu provided significantly greater symptom relief than either azelastine or fluticasone propionate alone and with an onset starting at 30 minutes after the dose.

Conclusion

The most recent addition to intranasal sprays for the maintenance therapy of AR is MP-AzeFlu, a single formulation nasal spray of azelastine hydrochloride and fluticasone propionate in an advanced delivery system. Analysis of clinical data showed this to be the first new intranasal medication that provides greater clinical benefit than an INCS in treating AR.

Published: July 2015

Ancillary therapy (ANC) is commonly provided in conjunction with an antimicrobial when treating calves for suspected bovine respiratory disease (BRD) in an attempt to improve the response to a suspected BRD challenge. The first experiment evaluated the effects of 3 ANC in combination with an antimicrobial in high-risk calves treated for BRD during a 56-d receiving period. Newly received crossbred steers (n = 516; initial BW = 217 ± 20 kg) were monitored by trained personnel for clinical signs of BRD. Calves that met antimicrobial treatment criteria (n = 320) were then randomly assigned to experimental ANC treatment (80 steers/experimental ANC treatment): intravenous flunixin meglumine injection (NSAID), intranasal viral vaccination (VACC), intramuscular vitamin C injection (VITC), or no ANC (NOAC). Animal served as the experimental unit for all variables except DMI and G:F (pen served as the experimental unit for DMI and G:F). Within calves treated 3 times for BRD, those receiving NOAC had lower (P < 0.01) clinical severity scores (severity scores ranged from 0 to 4 on the basis of observed clinical signs and severity) and heavier (P = 0.01) BW than those receiving NSAID, VACC, or VITC at the time of third treatment. Between the second and third BRD treatments, calves receiving NOAC had decreased (P < 0.01) daily BW loss (−0.13 kg ADG) compared with those receiving NSAID, VACC, or VITC (−1.30, −1.90, and −1.41 kg ADG, respectively). There were no differences in rectal temperature, combined mortalities and removals, or overall performance among the experimental ANC treatments. Overall, morbidity and mortality attributed to BRD across treatments were 66.5% and 13.2%, respectively. After the receiving period, a subset of calves (n = 126) were allocated to finishing pens to evaluate the effects ANC administration on finishing performance, carcass characteristics, and lung scores at harvest. Ultrasound estimates, BW, and visual appraisal were used to target a common physiological end point for each pen of calves. There were no differences among the experimental ANC observed during the finishing period (P ≥ 0.11). In summary, the use of NSAID, VACC, and VITC do not appear to positively impact clinical health and could potentially be detrimental to performance during the receiving period in high-risk calves receiving antimicrobial treatment for suspected BRD.
Representing Global Public Concern: A Critical Analysis of the Danish Participatory Experiment on Climate Change
Authors: Blue Gwendolyn
Published: July 2015

Drawing on the recognition that questions of discourse and power are vital components in analysing the public participation in environmental governance, this paper examines the ways in which dominant scientific discourses about the Earth's climate inform the types of public talk facilitated in and by mini-publics, particularly when they are ‘scaled up’ to address environmental issues such as climate change. World Wide Views on Global Warming (WWViews) serves as a case study. Conceived and organised by the Danish Board of Technology, WWViews was a historically unprecedented public forum in which participants, invited from a range of nations, were given the opportunity to deliberate on key themes addressed in the negotiations taking place during the United Nations Convention on Climate Change in Copenhagen (COP 15). The overarching purpose of this analysis is to invite reflection on the practices and assumptions that serve to make up publics in relation to issues that have been framed, predominantly, as scientific, universal and global.
User Expectations for Media Sharing Practices in Open Display Networks
Authors: Jose Rui , Cardoso Jorge , Hong Jason
Published: July 2015

Open Display Networks have the potential to allow many content creators to publish their media to an open-ended set of screen displays. However, this raises the issue of how to match that content to the right displays. In this study, we aim to understand how the perceived utility of particular media sharing scenarios is affected by three independent variables, more specifically: (a) the locativeness of the content being shared; (b) how personal that content is and (c) the scope in which it is being shared. To assess these effects, we composed a set of 24 media sharing scenarios embedded with different treatments of our three independent variables. We then asked 100 participants to express their perception of the relevance of those scenarios. The results suggest a clear preference for scenarios where content is both local and directly related to the person that is publishing it. This is in stark contrast to the types of content that are commonly found in public displays, and confirms the opportunity that open displays networks may represent a new media for self-expression. This novel understanding may inform the design of new publication paradigms that will enable people to share media across the display networks.
Bearing Fault Diagnosis Based on Statistical Locally Linear Embedding
Authors: Wang Xiang , Zheng Yuan , Zhao Zhenzhou , Wang Jinping
Published: July 2015

Fault diagnosis is essentially a kind of pattern recognition. The measured signal samples usually distribute on nonlinear low-dimensional manifolds embedded in the high-dimensional signal space, so how to implement feature extraction, dimensionality reduction and improve recognition performance is a crucial task. In this paper a novel machinery fault diagnosis approach based on a statistical locally linear embedding (S-LLE) algorithm which is an extension of LLE by exploiting the fault class label information is proposed. The fault diagnosis approach first extracts the intrinsic manifold features from the high-dimensional feature vectors which are obtained from vibration signals that feature extraction by time-domain, frequency-domain and empirical mode decomposition (EMD), and then translates the complex mode space into a salient low-dimensional feature space by the manifold learning algorithm S-LLE, which outperforms other feature reduction methods such as PCA, LDA and LLE. Finally in the feature reduction space pattern classification and fault diagnosis by classifier are carried out easily and rapidly. Rolling bearing fault signals are used to validate the proposed fault diagnosis approach. The results indicate that the proposed approach obviously improves the classification performance of fault pattern recognition and outperforms the other traditional approaches.
