Advances in Prevention Science: A Developmental Psychopathology Perspective
Authors: Toth Sheree L. , Petrenko Christie L. M. , Gravener‐Davis Julie A. , Handley Elizabeth D. 
Published: February 2016

AbstractWe utilize a perspective derived from developmental psychopathology to guide our discussion of advances that have been made in the field of prevention science over the last decade. After addressing definitional perspectives on prevention, we review programmatic preventive initiatives that are consistent with the goals of a developmental psychopathology perspective. We then direct our attention to conceptual and methodological considerations in the field of prevention science, paying particular attention to the incorporation of multilevel investigations into randomized controlled trials. In the penultimate section of this chapter, we discuss the importance of translational research and of dissemination efforts. We conclude by preferring recommendations for future directions for prevention science in the decades ahead.
Radiation‐Induced Synthesis of Copper/Poly(vinyl alcohol) Nanocomposites and Their Catalytic Activity
Authors: Ali Z. I. , Ghazy O. A. , Meligi G. , Saleh H. H. , Bekhit M. 
Published: February 2016

ABSTRACTCopper/poly(vinyl alcohol) (Cu/PVA) nanocomposites were synthesized using gamma radiation‐induced method and characterized by various analytical techniques. UV–vis absorption spectra showed that the surface plasmon resonance bands of the Cu nanoparticles around 580 nm were redshifted with increasing both irradiation dose and Cu2+ ion concentration The FTIR spectrum provides sufficient evidences for the involvement of PVA in stabilizing the Cu nanoparticles. The X‐ray diffraction patterns show the formation of the Cu nanoparticles in a face cubic structure with different sizes as a function of either irradiation doses or Cu2+ ion concentrations. The size of the as‐prepared Cu nanoparticles ranged from 13.9 to around 19 nm. On the other hand, the transmission electron microscopy showed that the obtained Cu nanoparticles were monodispersed and had uniform particle size distribution. The rate of the catalytic degradation for a methyl orange dye was found to increase with increasing amount of the Cu nanoparticles content, which could be attributed to higher dispersity and small size of the nanoparticles. Also, the conductivity of PVA increases with incorporation of Cu nanoparticles into PVA matrix.
(Über)leben ohne Sauerstoff

AbstractObwohl Pflanzen Sauerstoff durch Photosynthese produzieren, benötigen sie während der Nacht oder in Wurzeln Sauerstoff für den Energiestoffwechsel. Sauerstoffmangel, wie er zum Beispiel bei Überflutungen auftritt, kann sie daher schädigen bzw. sogar zum Absterben bringen. Vielfältige Anpassungsreaktionen der Pflanzen auf diesen Stress sind schon länger bekannt. Einige Pflanzen können Sauerstoffmangel vermeiden, indem sie sich morphologisch anpassen, zum Beispiel durch die Ausbildung von Durchlüftungsgeweben (Aerenchymen) oder durch verstärktes Streckungswachstum von Blättern und Stängeln.Bestimmte Pflanzenorgane müssen jedoch mit Sauerstoffmangel auskommen können, was durch Veränderungen des Stoffwechsels erreicht wird. Der Mechanismus, mit dem Pflanzen die interne Sauerstoffkonzentration messen, um auf diesen Stress reagieren zu können, wurde erst kürzlich entdeckt. Er beruht auf dem sauerstoffabhängigen Abbau bestimmter Transkriptionsfaktoren, die sich bei einem Rückgang der Sauerstoffkonzentration anreichern und die Transkription von Genen zum Beispiel der Gärungsenzyme induzieren.
Die Immunsysteme der Bakterien
Authors: Kreiner Marina , Schumann Wolfgang 
Published: February 2016

AbstractEnde der 70er Jahre des letzten Jahrhunderts begann eine neue Technik der gezielten Veränderung von Genen und ihrer Expression mit Hilfe von Restriktionsenzymen und Vektoren (meist Plasmide). Diese Ära wurde Gentechnik genannt und wird jetzt durch eine neue Technik, die CRISPR‐Cas9‐Technik, auch Genom‐Editing genannt, ergänzt. Genom‐Editing ist dabei, durch die gezielte Veränderung von Genen bei allen Organismen, vom Bakterium über Pilze, Pflanzen, Tiere bis hin zum Menschen Biotechnologie und Medizin zu revolutionieren. Sie ermöglicht die gezielte Einführung und die Eliminierung von Punkt‐Mutationen und intakten Genen in allen Organismen. Wichtige Ziele sind die genetische Optimierung von Nutzpflanzen und ‐tieren, die Bekämpfung von Krebs beim Menschen und von menschlichen Viren und multiresistenten pathogenen Bakterien. Allerdings birgt sie auch Nachteile durch OFF‐Targets, die zu Mutationen in beliebigen Genen führen können oder deren Expression beeinflussen.
Shakespeares Pflanzenwelt
Authors: Schneckenburger Stefan 
Published: February 2016

AbstractWilliam Shakespeare (1564–1616) erwähnt in seinen Stücken etwa 120 Pflanzenarten. Es handelt sich fast ausschließlich um damals in England heimische oder in Gärten kultivierte Sippen. In der Regel werden sie nicht beiläufig‐dekorativ, sondern gezielt eingesetzt – als “Wortkulissen” im kulissenlosen elisabethanischen Theater, als Träger von Botschaften, die wir heute nur noch teilweise verstehen oder als konkrete Objekte wie Gift oder Heilpflanzen. Es verwundert, wie kenntnisreich Shakespeare und sein Publikum waren bzw. gewesen sein müssen, denn andernfalls wäre vieles unverstanden geblieben.
A Comprehensive Analysis on the Reactive Dividing‐Wall Column, its Minimum Energy Demand, and Energy‐Saving Potential
Authors: Schröder Moritz , Ehlers Christoph , Fieg Georg 
Published: February 2016

AbstractThe reactive dividing‐wall column (RDWC) combines a reactor and a dividing‐wall column (DWC) in a single column shell. Lately, various reaction systems have been proposed for the RDWC, but only little general knowledge has been published on the RDWC so far. The fundamental mechanisms of the RDWC are analyzed and a profound process understanding is deduced based on principal aspects of reactive distillation and the DWC. Fields of application and insights into the key factors for an energy‐efficient operation are systematically derived. A semi‐shortcut method is proposed to determine the minimum vapor demand of the RDWC and its energy‐saving mechanism is explained. Thereby, process engineers can evaluate already during the process synthesis whether the RDWC is a promising option. Furthermore, they can quantify the energy savings quickly and get an understanding of the key factors for an energy‐efficient column design and operation.
Stereopositional Outcome in the Packing of Dissimilar Aromatics in Designed β‐Hairpins
Authors: Makwana Kamlesh Madhusudan , Mahalakshmi Radhakrishnan 
Published: February 2016

AbstractA popular strategy in the de novo design of stable β‐sheet structures for various biomedical applications is the incorporation of aromatic pairs at the non‐hydrogen‐bonding (NHB) position. However, it is important to explicitly understand how aryl pair packing at the NHB region is coordinated with backbone structural rearrangements, and to delineate the benefits and drawbacks associated with stereopositional choice of dissimilar aromatic pairs. Here, we probe the consequences of flipped Trp/Tyr pairs by using engineered permutants at the NHB position of dodecapeptide β‐hairpins, proximal and distal to the turn. Extensive conformational analysis of these peptides using NMR and CD spectroscopy reveal that a classic Edge‐to‐Face and Face‐to‐Edge geometry at the proximal and distal aromatic pairs, respectively, in YW‐WY, is the most stabilizing. Such a preferred packing geometry in YW‐WY results in a highly twisted β‐sheet backbone, with Trp always providing a ‘Face’ orientation to its dissimilar aromatic partner Tyr. Flipping the proximal and/or distal aromatic pair distorts the ideal T‐shaped geometry, and results in alternate aryl arrangements that can adversely affect strand twist and β‐sheet stability. Our study reveals the existence of a strong stereopositional influence on the packing of dissimilar aromatic pairs. Our findings highlight the importance of modeling physical interaction forces while designing protein and peptide structures for functional applications.
Highly Efficient Catalysis of Retro‐Claisen Reactions: From a Quinone Derivative to Functionalized Imidazolium Salts
Authors: Visbal Renso , Laguna Antonio , Gimeno M. Concepción 
Published: February 2016

AbstractA new and efficient method for the preparation of several imidazolium salts containing an ester group in the C4 position of the aromatic ring through a retro‐Claisen reaction pathway between a quinone derivative and several alcohols is described. This new organic transformation proceeds in the absence of a catalyst, but it is greatly catalyzed by different Lewis acids, especially with AgOAc at a very low catalyst loading and in very short reaction times. The process takes place by the nucleophilic attack of the carbonyl groups by the alcohol functionality, thus promoting a double C−C bond cleavage and C−H and C−O bond formation. This reaction represents the first example of this type between a quinone derivative and alcohols.
Dynamic Permutational Isomerism in a closo‐Cluster

Published: February 2016

AbstractPermutational isomers of trigonal bipyramidal [W2RhIr2(CO)9(η5‐C5H5)2(η5‐C5HMe4)] result from competitive capping of either a W2Ir or a WIr2 face of the tetrahedral cluster [W2Ir2(CO)10(η5‐C5H5)2] from its reaction with [Rh(CO)2(η5‐C5HMe4)]. The permutational isomers slowly interconvert in solution by a cluster metal vertex exchange that is proposed to proceed by Rh−Ir and Rh−W bond cleavage and reformation, and via the intermediacy of an edge‐bridged tetrahedral transition state. The permutational isomers display differing chemical and physical properties: replacement of CO by PPh3 occurs at one permutational isomer only, while the isomers display distinct optical power limiting behavior.
