Early Studies on Protoplast Isolation of Ludisia discolor, A Wild Orchid
Authors: Ranjetta Poobathy  , Rahmad Zakaria  , Syed Mohd. Edzham Syed Hamzah  , Sreeramanan Subramaniam  
Published: November 2016

The terrestrial Ludisia discolor, also referred to as the jewel orchid is prized for the quality of its leaves. L. discolor is known as a medicinal herb and is touted for its heat- and pathogen-resisting qualities. L. discolor is valuable in the production of both flavonoids and anthocyanins, antioxidants that are exalted in the health industry. Plant cell cultures have emerged as alternative sources of anthocyanin production. Plant protoplast cultures are used frequently in transient gene expression studies and in the establishment of callus and cell suspension cultures. Benefits of plant protoplast system include similarity to cells found in plant tissues, reproduction under controlled conditions, and prevention of masking of stress responses to previous handling techniques. A study was conducted to assess the amenability of the stem and leaves of L. discolor to protoplast isolation. The stem and leaf segments were weighed, sliced into thin layers, immersed in a digestion medium, washed and then cultured onto a recovery medium. Results indicated that the production of plant protoplasts from L. discolor may be viewed as an alternative in the generation of cell cultures and ultimately in the production of anthocyanins from the cell cultures.
Successful bilateral low dose, low volume supraclavicular block for bilateral shoulder hemiarthroplasty
Authors: Olesnicky Benjamin 
Published: November 2016

SummaryWe describe the case of an overweight male with uncontrolled seizures, probable obstructive sleep apnoea and early atelectasis/lower respiratory infection with poor pre‐operative pain control who presented for bilateral shoulder hemiarthroplasty due to bilateral neck of humerus fractures, presumed secondary to a grand mal seizure. Single shot bilateral low dose/low volume supraclavicular brachial plexus blocks can provide good analgesia for shoulder hemiarthroplasty with sparing of the phrenic nerve.

Background and objectives

Staphylococcus infection–associated GN (SAGN) is a well recognized disease entity, particularly because of the frequent IgA-dominant glomerular immunoglobulin staining on kidney biopsy. Biopsy features can resemble two other disease entities – primary IgA nephropathy and Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis – posing a diagnostic pitfall. This is clinically relevant because of the crucial difference in the therapeutic approach. The diagnosis of SAGN is further complicated by the variability in the degree of glomerular IgA (and C3) staining, the extent of electron dense immune-type deposits, and positive ANCA serology in some patients.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements
We performed a thorough histopathologic review of our single-center cohort of 78 culture-proven SAGN biopsies to assess the spectrum of IgA staining, prevalence of ANCA serology, prevalence of subepithelial “humps,” and other histologic features to distinguish from primary IgA nephropathy.

Results
Among the 78 SAGN biopsies, IgA staining was trace in 25%, mild in 19%, moderate in 44%, and strong in 12% of the cases. C3 was frequently moderate-to-strong but was trace in 14% of the biopsies. Concomitantly trace IgA, IgG, and C3 (pauci-immune pattern) was seen in 13%. Crescents were present in 35% of the SAGN biopsies. Out of 41 patients tested for ANCA, nine (22%) were positive, including patients with endocarditis and other infections. Subepithelial humps were identified in only 31% of the SAGN biopsies.

Conclusions
SAGN biopsies show marked variability in IgA immunofluorescence staining and low frequency of subepithelial humps compared with poststreptococcal GN. Occasional ANCA positivity is present in cases of SAGN, even in infections other than endocarditis. Therefore, biopsy diagnosis can be difficult particularly when clinical symptoms of infection are subtle. Both the pathologist and the nephrologist should be aware of these diagnostic pitfalls.

Abstract
CASE DESCRIPTION 5 dogs were examined because of clinical signs of myelopathy, including signs of pain associated with the spinal region and rapidly progressive neurologic deficits.
CLINICAL FINDINGS In all dogs, results of MRI were consistent with spinal epidural empyema. Concurrent infectious processes were identified at adjacent or distant sites in all dogs, including diskospondylitis, prostatitis, dermatitis, paraspinal infection following a penetrating injury, urinary tract infection, and pyothorax. Bacteria were isolated from 3 dogs; Escherichia coli was isolated from blood, urine, and prostatic wash samples from 1 dog; a Pasteurella sp was isolated from a percutaneous aspirate from an adjacent infected wound in a second dog; and a Corynebacterium sp was isolated from a thoracic fluid sample from a third dog. For the remaining 2 dogs, results of bacterial culture were negative.
TREATMENT AND OUTCOME All dogs showed clinical improvement within 2 weeks after initiation of antimicrobial treatment, and all had an excellent long-term outcome.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE In dogs, spinal epidural empyema has previously been regarded as a surgical emergency. Findings for dogs in the present report suggested that, as is the case for humans, selected dogs with spinal epidural empyema may be successfully managed with medical treatment alone.

Published: November 2016

Premise of the study:Here we report the complete chloroplast genome of the important medicinal species Huperzia serrata (Lycopodiaceae) and compare it to the chloroplast genome of the congeneric species H. lucidula.Methods and Results:The whole chloroplast genome of H. serrata was sequenced using an Illumina platform and assembled with Geneious version R9.0.5. The genome size of H. serrata was 154,176 bp, with 36.3% GC content. The complete chloroplast genome contained 120 unique genes, including 86 coding genes, four rRNA genes, and 30 tRNA genes. Comparison with the chloroplast genome of H. lucidula revealed three highly variable regions (rps16‐chlB, ycf12‐trnR, and ycf1) between these two species and 252 mutation events including 27 insertion/deletion polymorphisms and 225 single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Ninety‐two SNPs were identified in the gene‐coding regions. In addition, 18 microsatellite sites were found, which can potentially be used in phylogeographic studies.Conclusions:The complete chloroplast genome of H. serrata is reported here, and will be a valuable genome resource for further phylogenetic, evolutionary, and medical studies of medicinal plants in the genus Huperzia.
Truthful resolutions: A new perspective on false-answer sensitivity
Authors: Theiler Nadine , Roelofsen Floris , Aloni Maria 
Published: November 2016

Responsive verbs like know embed both declarative and interrogative complements. Standard accounts of such verbs are reductive: they assume that whether an individual stands in a knowledge-wh relation to a question is determined by whether she stands in a knowledge-that relation to some answer to the question. George (2013) observed that knowledge-wh, however, not only depends on knowledge-that but also on false belief---a fact that reductive accounts can't capture.We develop an account that is not reductive but uniform: it assumes a single entry for interrogative-embedding and declarative-embedding uses of a responsive verb. The key insight that allows us to capture the false-belief dependency of knowledge-wh is that verbs like know are sensitive to both true and false answers to the embedded question. Formally, this is achieved through a novel, fine-grained way of representing the meaning of a clausal complement in terms of so-called truthful resolutions. The resulting analysis gives us a unifying perspective, under which false-answer sensitivity comes out as a general characteristic common to all levels of exhaustivity.
"Different" as a Restriction on Skolem Functions
Authors: Lahm David 
Published: November 2016

An analysis of different as in every child watched a different movie is developed that is based on an analysis of indefinites in terms of Skolemised choice functions. The internal reading of the sentence, which expresses that the movies covary with the children, is analysed as stating that the children can be mapped injectively to movies they watched. This is achieved by letting the Skolemised choice function that interprets the indefinite pick, for each child, an element from the set of movies that the same function does not assign to any other individual, which allows for analysing different in a manner parallelling ordinary intersective adjectives. Simply replacing this set of movies with the set of contextually salient movies then also gives the external reading. An implementation at the syntax-semantics interface is provided, employing Lexical Resource Semantics.
States and events for S-level gradable adjectives
Authors: Wellwood Alexis 
Published: November 2016

The event analysis is only rarely incorporated into degree-theoretic treatments of adjectival comparatives. I propose a neodavidsonian account of predications like "Ann was happy" that involves quantification over both states and events. This ‘double-eventuality’ analysis is motivated primarily by how stage-level gradable adjectives interact with temporal "for"-phrases in two classes of comparatives, which I differentiate as ‘low’ versus ‘high’ attachment of the comparative morpheme. Low attachment comparatives express canonical degree readings ("more available"), while high attachment involve comparing numbers of occasions ("available more"). I resolve these patterns by positing a stative core for adjectives, and the possibility of mapping properties of states to properties of events. Low attachment interpretations, then, involve comparison of states, and high involve comparison of (pluralities of) events. I show that the analysis extends to other cases where states and events can do work for adjectives outside of comparatives.
RADIO COUNTERPARTS OF COMPACT BINARY MERGERS DETECTABLE IN GRAVITATIONAL WAVES: A SIMULATION FOR AN OPTIMIZED SURVEY
Authors: Hotokezaka K. , Nissanke S. , Hallinan G. , Lazio T. J. W. , Nakar E. , Piran T. 
Published: November 2016

ABSTRACT
Mergers of binary neutron stars and black hole–neutron star binaries produce gravitational-wave (GW) emission and outflows with significant kinetic energies. These outflows result in radio emissions through synchrotron radiation. We explore the detectability of these synchrotron-generated radio signals by follow-up observations of GW merger events lacking a detection of electromagnetic counterparts in other wavelengths. We model radio light curves arising from (i) sub-relativistic merger ejecta and (ii) ultra-relativistic jets. The former produce radio remnants on timescales of a few years and the latter produce γ-ray bursts in the direction of the jet and orphan-radio afterglows extending over wider angles on timescales of weeks. Based on the derived light curves, we suggest an optimized survey at 1.4 GHz with five epochs separated by a logarithmic time interval. We estimate the detectability of the radio counterparts of simulated GW-merger events to be detected by advanced LIGO and Virgo by current and future radio facilities. The detectable distances for these GW merger events could be as high as 1 Gpc. Around 20%–60% of the long-lasting radio remnants will be detectable in the case of the moderate kinetic energy of

erg and a circum-merger density of

or larger, while 5%–20% of the orphan-radio afterglows with kinetic energy of 1048 erg will be detectable. The detection likelihood increases if one focuses on the well-localizable GW events. We discuss the background noise due to radio fluxes of host galaxies and false positives arising from extragalactic radio transients and variable active galactic nuclei, and we show that the quiet radio transient sky is of great advantage when searching for the radio counterparts.
MULTI-WAVELENGTH STUDY OF THE SUPERNOVA REMNANT KES 79 (G33.6+0.1): ON ITS SUPERNOVA PROPERTIES AND EXPANSION INTO A MOLECULAR ENVIRONMENT
Authors: Zhou Ping , Chen Yang , Safi-Harb Samar , Zhou Xin , Sun Ming , Zhang Zhi-Yu , Zhang Gao-Yuan 
Published: November 2016

ABSTRACT
Kes 79 (G33.6+0.1) is an aspherical thermal composite supernova remnant (SNR) observed across the electromagnetic spectrum and showing an unusual highly structured morphology, in addition to harboring a central compact object (CCO). Using the CO J = 1–0, J = 2–1, and J = 3–2 data, we provide the first direct evidence and new morphological evidence to support the physical interaction between the SNR and the molecular cloud in the local standard of rest velocity

. We revisit the 380 ks XMM-Newton observations and perform a dedicated spatially resolved X-ray spectroscopic study with careful background subtraction. The overall X-ray-emitting gas is characterized by an under-ionized (

) cool (

keV) plasma with solar abundances, plus an under-ionized (

) hot (

keV) plasma with elevated Ne, Mg, Si, S, and Ar abundances. The X-ray filaments, spatially correlated with the 24

IR filaments, are suggested to be due to the SNR shock interaction with dense gas, while the halo forms from SNR breaking out into a tenuous medium. Kes 79 appears to have a double-hemisphere morphology viewed along the symmetric axis. Projection effect can explain the multiple-shell structures and the thermal composite morphology. The high-velocity, hot (

keV) ejecta patch with high metal abundances, together with the non-uniform metal distribution across the SNR, indicate an asymmetric SN explosion of Kes 79. We refine the Sedov age to 4.4–6.7 kyr and the mean shock velocity to 730

. Our multi-wavelength study suggests a progenitor mass of ∼15–20 solar masses for the core-collapse explosion that formed Kes 79 and its CCO, PSR J1852+0040.
A HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE SURVEY FOR NOVAE IN M87. I. LIGHT AND COLOR CURVES, SPATIAL DISTRIBUTIONS, AND THE NOVA RATE*

Published: November 2016

ABSTRACT
The Hubble Space Telescope has imaged the central part of M87 over a 10 week span, leading to the discovery of 32 classical novae (CNe) and nine fainter, likely very slow, and/or symbiotic novae. In this first paper of a series, we present the M87 nova finder charts, and the light and color curves of the novae. We demonstrate that the rise and decline times, and the colors of M87 novae are uncorrelated with each other and with position in the galaxy. The spatial distribution of the M87 novae follows the light of the galaxy, suggesting that novae accreted by M87 during cannibalistic episodes are well-mixed. Conservatively using only the 32 brightest CNe we derive a nova rate for M87:

novae yr−1. We also derive the luminosity-specific classical nova rate for this galaxy, which is

. Both rates are 3–4 times higher than those reported for M87 in the past, and similarly higher than those reported for all other galaxies. We suggest that most previous ground-based surveys for novae in external galaxies, including M87, miss most faint, fast novae, and almost all slow novae near the centers of galaxies.

Les magistrats et la Cour d’appel de Cayenne au xix e siècle
Authors: Humbert Sylvie 
Published: November 2016

De 1704 à nos jours, les juridictions supérieures, Conseils souverains puis Cours d’appel, ont dit le droit en Guyane. Mais quels droits et quelle justice ces magistrats coloniaux pouvaient-ils rendre ? Le xix e siècle a été marqué par une organisation bicéphale de la justice sous étroite tutelle de l’administration. Ce siècle de bouleversements politiques et juridiques verra s’opposer le droit et la loi. Les magistrats, à la fois au service de la loi et au service de la société, rendront une justice plus prétorienne que légaliste. Mais le sentiment du droit peut-il avoir une place dans la justice ?
Visual Outcomes After LASIK Using Topography-Guided vs Wavefront-Guided Customized Ablation Systems
Authors: Toda Ikuko , Ide Takeshi , Fukumoto Teruki , Tsubota Kazuo 
Published: November 2016

PURPOSE:
To evaluate the visual performance of two customized ablation systems (wavefront-guided ablation and topography-guided ablation) in LASIK.

METHODS:
In this prospective, randomized clinical study, 68 eyes of 35 patients undergoing LASIK were enrolled. Patients were randomly assigned to wavefront-guided ablation using the iDesign aberrometer and STAR S4 IR Excimer Laser system (Abbott Medical Optics, Inc., Santa Ana, CA) (wavefront-guided group; 32 eyes of 16 patients; age: 29.0 ± 7.3 years) or topography-guided ablation using the OPD-Scan aberrometer and EC-5000 CXII excimer laser system (NIDEK, Tokyo, Japan) (topography-guided group; 36 eyes of 19 patients; age: 36.1 ± 9.6 years). Preoperative manifest refraction was −4.92 ± 1.95 diopters (D) in the wavefront-guided group and −4.44 ± 1.98 D in the topography-guided group. Visual function and subjective symptoms were compared between groups before and 1 and 3 months after LASIK.

RESULTS:
Of seven subjective symptoms evaluated, four were significantly milder in the wavefront-guided group at 3 months. Contrast sensitivity with glare off at low spatial frequencies (6.3° and 4°) was significantly higher in the wavefront-guided group. Uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity, manifest refraction, and higher order aberrations measured by OPD-Scan and iDesign were not significantly different between the two groups at 1 and 3 months after LASIK.

CONCLUSIONS:
Both customized ablation systems used in LASIK achieved excellent results in predictability and visual function. The wavefront-guided ablation system may have some advantages in the quality of vision. It may be important to select the appropriate system depending on eye conditions such as the pattern of total and corneal higher order aberrations.

Nd:YAG Capsulotomy Rates With Two Trifocal Intraocular Lenses
Authors: Bilbao-Calabuig Rafael , Llovet-Osuna Fernando , González-López Felix , Beltrán Jaime 
Published: November 2016

PURPOSE:To compare Nd:YAG capsulotomy rates following implantation of two diffractive trifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs).METHODS:This multi-center retrospective analysis included patients who underwent uncomplicated lens phacoemulsification and were implanted with a diffractive trifocal IOL: FineVision MicroF (PhysIOL, Liège, Belgium) or AT Lisa tri 839MP (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany). All surgeries were performed during the same period. The postoperative follow-up period was at least 1 year. Chi-square and Kaplan–Meier tests analyzed non-parametric estimates for survival/failure functions. The Wilcoxon (Breslow) test compared Nd:YAG capsulotomy rates between the two groups.RESULTS:Of 5,130 eyes included, 3,387 were implanted with the FineVision MicroF IOL and 1,743 with the AT Lisa tri 839MP IOL. There were no statistical differences in age, axial length, or IOL power between groups. Nd:YAG capsulotomies were necessary in 330 eyes (9%) in the FineVision group and 408 eyes (23%) in the AT Lisa tri group (P< .001). The probability of having Nd:YAG capsulotomy up to 9 months postoperatively was equal for both lenses. Beyond 9 months, the Nd:YAG capsulotomy rate increased significantly more in the AT Lisa tri group, reaching a probability of 35% for eyes with a follow-up of 34 to 44 months, whereas in the FineVision group the probability was 14% after a follow-up of 37 to 47 months. The differences in survival (without Nd:YAG capsulotomy)/failure (with Nd:YAG capsulotomy) functions were significant (P< .001).CONCLUSIONS:Eyes implanted with the FineVision MicroF IOL required significantly fewer Nd:YAG laser capsulotomies than those with the AT Lisa tri 839MP IOL during the first years after implantation. The design of the IOL platforms could account for these differences.[J Refract Surg.2016;32(11):748–752.]
Zones de défection temporaire. Refigurations de Bartleby et de des Esseintes dans quelques romans contemporains
Authors: Huppe Justine , Claisse Frédéric 
Published: November 2016

Inquiets de l’instrumentalisation du récit et de la fiction à des fins mercantiles ou stratégiques, de nombreux écrivains et observateurs s’interrogent aujourd’hui : quels pouvoirs reste-t-il à la littérature, quand la logique capitaliste s’est appropriée ses outils et semble toujours en avance sur ses potentialités critiques ? Pour reprendre la terminologie d’Albert Hirschman, si les modalités de contestation (voice) semblent épuisées, qu’en est-il des possibilités de défection (exit), dans un monde en réseau qui se nourrit précisément de l’injonction permanente à la liberté et l’autonomie ? Déplaçant cette question sur le terrain romanesque, notre contribution s’intéresse à la volonté de retrait de quelques personnages contemporains (geeks, artistes reclus, militants autonomes, ermites des mondes virtuels, etc.), comparés à des figures littéraires emblématiques de la défection au xixe siècle (des Esseintes, Bartleby, Oblomov, Emma Bovary), de manière à mesurer les changements qui ont affecté l’espace même de possibilités de fuite, et leurs conséquences pour des formes de résistance en littérature.
