GABAB receptor attenuation of GABAA currents in neurons of the mammalian central nervous system
Authors: Shen Wen , Nan Changlong , Nelson Peter T , Ripps Harris , Slaughter Malcolm M 
Published: March 2017

AbstractIonotropic receptors are tightly regulated by second messenger systems and are often present along with their metabotropic counterparts on a neuron's plasma membrane. This leads to the hypothesis that the two receptor subtypes can interact, and indeed this has been observed in excitatory glutamate and inhibitory GABA receptors. In both systems the metabotropic pathway augments the ionotropic receptor response. However, we have found that the metabotropic GABAB receptor can suppress the ionotropic GABAA receptor current, in both the in vitro mouse retina and in human amygdala membrane fractions. Expression of amygdala membrane microdomains in Xenopus oocytes by microtransplantation produced functional ionotropic and metabotropic GABA receptors. Most GABAA receptors had properties of α‐subunit containing receptors, with ~5% having ρ‐subunit properties. Only GABAA receptors with α‐subunit‐like properties were regulated by GABAB receptors. In mouse retinal ganglion cells, where only α‐subunit‐containing GABAA receptors are expressed, GABAB receptors suppressed GABAA receptor currents. This suppression was blocked by GABAB receptor antagonists, G‐protein inhibitors, and GABAB receptor antibodies. Based on the kinetic differences between metabotropic and ionotropic receptors, their interaction would suppress repeated, rapid GABAergic inhibition.
Recent Results for Widths of Lines Important in the Spectra of Cool Stars
Authors: Peach G. 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
The broadening of spectral lines by neutral perturbers is an important factor in the interpretation of the observed spectra of cool stars and is often included in the analysis by using a simple van der Waals formula. Detailed calculations are carried out for selected lines and are used to examine the validity of this formula for a range of temperatures.
Judeo-Greek wedding poems from the fifteenth century
Authors: Hollender Elisabeth , Niehoff-Panagiotidis Jannis 
Published: March 2017

AbstractThis paper is the first edition of a new collection of Judaeo-Greek texts. Moscow Guenzburg 746 is a very small ms., a Romaniote siddur, which contains eight wedding poems at the end. Four of the poems are in Hebrew, while the remaining four are in Greek. These poems, which are not attested to anywhere else, show strong relations with much later Christian love lyrics in Greek, that despite being erotic, were not necessarily aimed at weddings. The poetical language between the two traditions is the same, as is shown in the commentary. Since the ms. is dated to 1419, transmitted through an unknown Jewish scribe, it exhibits the oldest collection of Byzantine “tragoudia” known so far.
Evectiones et tractoriae. Identifying the permits for the cursus publicus in the 4th century
Authors: Lemcke Lukas 
Published: March 2017

AbstractThe article focuses on the permits required for the use of the cursus publicus during the 4th century CE. The central interest is to arrive at a precise definition for the document referred to in the sources as tractoria and its significance vis-à-vis the most common permit type, the evectio. Through a reassessment of existing explanations in previous scholarship and a review of the available documentary evidence, a novel definition is proposed: the tractoria’s primary purpose was to allow access to the (slower) vehicles of the cursus publicus (such as redae, angariae, mules, oxen); the evectio enabled users to use the cursus publicus at large. In all other regards, evectio and tractoria seem to have been identical. The results are then placed into the context of the development of the cursus publicus at the turn from the 3
Astrology, piety and poverty: seven anonymous poems in Vaticanus gr. 743
Authors: Zagklas Nikos 
Published: March 2017

AbstractThe fourteenth-century manuscript Vaticanus gr. 743 transmits seven anonymous poems entitled as follows: 1) εἰς ἀστρονόμον 2) ἴαμβος 3) εἰς πίθηκον λαβόντα μεγάλην γυναῖκα 4) εἰς τὸν ἅγιον Ἰάκωβον 5) εἰς τὴν ἁγίαν μάρτυρα Βαρβάραν 6) εἰς τὰ λαιμία τοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ τοῦ ἀρχιστρατήγου 7) εἰς τὸν χορὸν τῶν ψαλτῶν καὶ εἰς τὸν χειρονόμον. The first three are satires, while the remaining four epigrams were most likely meant to be inscribed next to corresponding images. Although the first poem was edited quite recently, the other six remain unedited. The aim of this article is to provide an edition and translation of all these texts together as well as to discuss their dating and authorship.

Published: March 2017

AbstractRisk management facilitates risk identification, evaluation, control, and by means of appropriate set of measures, risk reduction or complete elimination. Therefore, the risk management becomes a strategic factor for a company’s success. Properly implemented risk management system does not represent a tool to avoid the risk; it is used to understand the risk and provide the bases for strategic decision-making.Risk management represents a key factor for the supply chain operations. Managing the risks is crucial for achieving the customer satisfaction and thus also a company’s success. The subject-matter of the article is the assessment of the supply chain in the automobile industry, in terms of risks. The topicality of this problem is even higher, as after the economic crisis it is necessary to revaluate the readiness of the supply chain for prospective risk conditions. One advantage of this article is the use of the Saaty method as a tool for the risk management within the supply chain.

Published: March 2017

Abstract

Background
The medicinal properties of Inula cappa, a perennial shrub, are ascribed to its roots. In this article, we study the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities of I. cappa root extracts based on its utilization in traditional medicine-treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, menoxenia, fever, jaundice and many others.

Methods
Anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities of I. cappa extracts were studied. The anti-inflammatory activity was determined by carrageenan-induced rat paw edema and cotton pellet-induced granulation method while the immunomodulatory activity was estimated by phagocytic assay method, hemagglutinating antibody (HA) titer assay, delayed-type hypersensitivity assay method, plaque forming cell assay and determination of immunoprophylatic activity.

Results
The methanolic extract showed maximum reduction in the rat paw edema and showed significant inhibition of the cotton pellet-induced granulomas in rats. The methanolic extract also showed potential immunomodulatory activity in all the assays performed. Two sesquiterpenes, isoalantolactone and germacranolide were also isolated from the methanolic extract.

Conclusions
The present study supports the evidence that the roots of I. cappa can be used as a potent anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory agent.

Published: March 2017

AbstractBackground:In this study we evaluated whether vitamin B12 deficiency affects neonatal screening (NS) for congenital hypothyroidism (CH).Methods:A cross-sectional study conducted from 2010 to 2011. A total of 10,740 infants were born in our hospital in this period. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) was tested for NS and neonates with abnormal screening results (TSH>20 mIU/L) were re-examined. Two hundred and twenty-nine re-called subjects (re-call rate 2.3%) were compared to 77 randomly selected newborns with normal TSH screening among these term newborns in terms of serum TSH, free T4, vitamin B12 and homocysteine status.Results:Of the 229 re-called subjects, 11 infants with CH and 21 infants with transient TSH elevation were detected. In the normal TSH screening group, only two infants were diagnosed with transient TSH elevation. Mean serum B12 levels were 126.4±48.7 pg/mL and 211.9±127.9 pg/mL in the positive TSH-screening group and the control group, respectively. There was a significant difference between positive and normal TSH-screening groups in regard to serum TSH, free T4, serum B12 and homocysteine levels.Conclusions:We found a significant vitamin B12 deficiency in positive TSH-screening infants. Beside the crucial role of vitamin B12 in newborns, deficiency seems to increase the recall rates of infants in an NS program for CH.

The Development of Ternary Nitride Chemistry During the Last Few Decades
Authors: Ghani Syed Sauban 
Published: March 2017

The developments of charged and neutral ternary nitrides during the last few decades have been fast and progressively varied in terms of its preparation, properties, and structures. Ternary metal nitrides of the type MxM’yN draw significant attention as of their overall superior properties such as mechanical, electrical, magnetic, and catalytic. The progresses in ternary nitrides study have become important in the last few decades up to the degree where the scientist are beginning to associate these compounds in level of certain desired kinds of structures. The current relevance of these nitrides overall depends on the fact that they are very narrowly connected to the pure one-dimensional systems that are immensely examined for their remarkable properties and strongly connected to their short dimensionality. Whether it;s vital investigations to make presently unidentified ternary nitrides or to evolve innovative and prevailing applications, it is evident by going through the numerous articles in this area that regardless of the striking growth in the preceding few decades, substantial is left to be completed.
New formulation for forecasting streamflow: evolutionary polynomial regression vs. extreme learning machine
Authors: Rezaie-Balf Mohammad , Kisi Ozgur 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
Streamflow forecasting is crucial in hydrology and hydraulic engineering since it is capable of optimizing water resource systems or planning future expansion. This study investigated the performances of three different soft computing methods, multilayer perceptron neural network (MLPNN), optimally pruned extreme learning machine (OP-ELM), and evolutionary polynomial regression (EPR) in forecasting daily streamflow. Data from three different stations, Soleyman Tange, Perorich Abad, and Ali Abad located on the Tajan River of Iran were used to estimate the daily streamflow. MLPNN model was employed to determine the optimal input combinations of each station implementing evaluation criteria. In both training and testing stages in the three stations, the results of comparison indicated that the EPR technique would generally perform more efficiently than MLPNN and OP-ELM models. EPR model represented the best performance to simulate the peak flow compared to MLPNN and OP-ELM models while the MLPNN provided significantly under/overestimations. EPR models which include explicit mathematical formulations are recommended for daily streamflow forecasting which is necessary in watershed hydrology management.

This writing discuss abot phenomena of disaster in the world which actually it has been discussion in the quran. Disaster divided to be two categories according Quran : natural categories and unnatural categories. First categories indicate of God’s decision as like volcanoes. This category refers to God’s decision without human intervention and human could not refuse it.Second category is disaster because of human effort, for instance : flood and land move. By this theologian point of view so disaster had not something given, where human should receive it as it as happened, otherwise role of human possible for changing between a destiny and another destiny, depend on what human endeavor. Finnaly by this theologian understanding , magic consciousness which very integrated with society mind set changing become critical consciousness.
Murdoch’s flagship: The Australian newspaper two decades on
Authors: Cryle Denis 
Published: March 2017

Commentary: The power of the print media lies not simply in its capacity to attack opponents, but in its unwillingness to grant timely or sufficient right of reply in its Op-Ed pages. Perhaps the greater regulation advocated by Finkelstein would begin to change this. Amid all the restructuring and the rivalry, the opportunity for a more comprehensive review of journalistic regulation, broached by Finkelstein, may well slip away in the cross currents of the Convergence Review, the prospect of new media mergers and acquisitions, precarious federal parliamentary politics, and the turmoil of the broadsheets themselves. Yet it is a debate that we have to have; like our protracted debt crisis, it cannot be postponed indefinitely.

Until the 18th century the spice is a tremendous appeal to the international community. No exception with cloves then just grow on some island in the North Moluccas. Two first nation to get a clove monopoly rights in North Maluku is Portuguese and Spanish. When activity in the region is not only the two nations trade, but also spread their religion is Catholicism. Through a review of the literature from a variety of sources, the conclusion about the spread of the Catholic faith that made the Portuguese and Spanish in their efforts to monopolize the clove trade in North Moluccas. In the end, the spread of Catholicism that made the Portuguese and Spanish only reinforce hatred against their local authorities and result in the expulsion of both these imperialist nations of North Moluccas.Sampai abad ke-18 rempah-rempah merupakan daya tarik yang luar biasa bagi masyarakat internasional. Tidak terkecuali dengan cengkeh yang saat itu hanya tumbuh pada beberapa pulau di kawasan Maluku Utara. Dua bangsa pertama yang mendapatkan hak monopoli cengkeh di Maluku Utara adalah Portugis dan Spanyol. Saat beraktivitas di kawasan itu dua bangsa ini tidak hanya berdagang namun juga menyebarkan agama yang mereka anut yaitu Kristen Katolik. Melalui telaah pustaka dari berbagai sumber, diperoleh kesimpulan tentang penyebaran agama Katolik yang dilakukan Portugis dan Spanyol di tengah usaha mereka memonopoli perdagangan cengkeh di Maluku Utara. Pada akhirnya, penyebaran agama Katolik yang dilakukan Portugis dan Spanyol hanya memperkuat kebencian para penguasa lokal terhadap mereka dan berakibat terusirnya kedua bangsa imperialis ini dari Maluku Utara.
