AN UNNOTICED TESTIMONIUM TO THE HESIODIC MELAMPODIA? PSI 14. 1398 AND [HESIOD] MELAMPODIA FR. 276 M-W (= 212 MOST)
Authors: Vergados Athanassios 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
In this paper I propose to link [Hesiod] fr. 276 M.-W. (= 212 Most; from the Melampodia) with the mythological narrative preserved on PSI 14. 1398, which relates the death of Teiresias. This narrative belong to a work that drew on the lost Melampodia (or a summary of it) and provides information regarding this Hesiodic poem that had hitherto escaped our notice. Regarding the type of text preserved on PSI 14. 1398, the scanty remnants of the papyrus’ second column, where we read traces of what appears to be κeuqein and dendroκomov, both poetic words, suggest that it must have been a prose text quoting poetry. Possibilities include (i) a text on the history of divination, such as Philochorus peri mantiκnv, which offered a historical overview of famous exponents of the mantic art and included poetic quotations, or alternatively (ii) a text that belongs to the commentary genre broadly conceived, perhaps even a text akin to the so-called ‘Homeric anthologies’.
TOANTE E IL CORO: NOTA A EUR. IT 1490–1

Abstract
The final words of Euripides’ Iphigenia in Tauris are vexed by several difficulties concerning the distribution of lines to speakers. In IT 1490-1, the problem affects the general interpretation of the ending, which seems to suggest clearly that the Chorus survives and returns to Greece. If 1490-1 are delivered by the Chorus, as Seidler suggests, it is to be assumed that the Greek women are not allowed to go back home with Iphigenia, Orestes and Pylades: this explicit does not square with the evidence of the drama as a whole. The restoration of L’s attribution of the lines to Athena (Kovacs) would fit well with the ultimate destiny of the Chorus, yet it raises the problem of admitting an unparalleled metrical transition from trimeters to anapaests by the same speaker; moreover, it creates an awkward repetition and reduplication of the content of 1487-9. The attribution to Thoas, who is in any case unable to leave until 1489, solves the problem and gives a better sense to 1490-1: Thoas is here urging the Chorus to leave the stage and sail towards Greece, trusting Athena’s recent deliberations. The mistake of attribution in L may reflect an original distribution in which changes of speaker were marked at 1486 (or 1487), 1490 and 1492.

AbstractAutism is a type of neurodevelopmental disorder affecting the memory, behavior, emotion, learning ability, and communication of an individual. An early detection of the abnormality, due to irregular processing in the brain, can be achieved using electroencephalograms (EEG). The variations in the EEG signals cannot be deciphered by mere visual inspection. Computer-aided diagnostic tools can be used to recognize the subtle and invisible information present in the irregular EEG pattern and diagnose autism. This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of automated EEG-based diagnosis of autism. Various time domain, frequency domain, time-frequency domain, and nonlinear dynamics for the analysis of autistic EEG signals are described briefly. A focus of the review is the use of nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory to discover the mathematical biomarkers for the diagnosis of the autism analogous to biological markers. A combination of the time-frequency and nonlinear dynamic analysis is the most effective approach to characterize the nonstationary and chaotic physiological signals for the automated EEG-based diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The features extracted using these nonlinear methods can be used as mathematical markers to detect the early stage of autism and aid the clinicians in their diagnosis. This will expedite the administration of appropriate therapies to treat the disorder.
Tel1ATM dictates the replication timing of short yeast telomeres
Authors: Cooley Carol , Davé Anoushka , Garg Mansi , Bianchi Alessandro 
Published: August 2014

AbstractTelomerase action is temporally linked to DNA replication. Although yeast telomeres are normally late replicating, telomere shortening leads to early firing of subtelomeric DNA replication origins. We show that double‐strand breaks flanked by short telomeric arrays cause origin firing early in S phase at late‐replicating loci and that this effect on origin firing time is dependent on the Tel1ATM checkpoint kinase. The effect of Tel1ATM on telomere replication timing extends to endogenous telomeres and is stronger than that elicited by Rif1 loss. These results establish that Tel1ATM specifies not only the extent but also the timing of telomerase recruitment.
Histone H2B Ubiquitination Promotes the Function of the Anaphase-Promoting Complex/Cyclosome inSchizosaccharomyces pombe

Published: August 2014

AbstractUbiquitination and deubiquitination of proteins are reciprocal events involved in many cellular processes, including the cell cycle. During mitosis, the metaphase to anaphase transition is regulated by the ubiquitin ligase activity of the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C). Although the E3 ubiquitin ligase function of the APC/C has been well characterized, it is not clear whether deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) play a role in reversing APC/C substrate ubiquitination. Here we performed a genetic screen to determine what DUB, if any, antagonizes the function of the APC/C in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. We found that deletion of ubp8, encoding the Spt-Ada-Gcn5-Acetyl transferase (SAGA) complex associated DUB, suppressed temperature-sensitive phenotypes of APC/C mutants cut9-665, lid1-6, cut4-533, and slp1-362. Our analysis revealed that Ubp8 antagonizes APC/C function in a mechanism independent of the spindle assembly checkpoint and proteasome activity. Notably, suppression of APC/C mutants was linked to loss of Ubp8 catalytic activity and required histone H2B ubiquitination. On the basis of these data, we conclude that Ubp8 antagonizes APC/C function indirectly by modulating H2B ubiquitination status.

Published: August 2014

Background: It has been suggested that genetic factors may predispose individuals to periodontal diseases. The present case‐control study aims to test whether the −403 single nucleotide polymorphism of chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5‐403) and the 32‐bp deletion of CCR5 (CCR5Δ32) polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to chronic and aggressive periodontitis.Methods: Taiwanese participants (N = 213) were grouped into control group (CG), generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAgP), or chronic periodontitis (CP) groups. DNA samples were obtained from peripheral blood. CCL5‐403, evaluated by polymerase chain reaction‐restriction fragment length polymorphism, and CCR5Δ32, evaluated by polymerase chain reaction, were compared among the three groups.Results: There was a significant association between type of periodontitis and having allele A or G in the CCL5‐403 polymorphism. GAgP patients were 3.7 times more likely than CP patients and 2.0 times more likely than CG patients to have allele A, instead of allele G, in CCL5‐403. GAgP patients were 3.1 times more likely than CG patients to have AG versus GG genotype. GAgP patients were also 5.0 and 19.8 times more likely than CP patients to have AG and AA genotypes, respectively, compared to GG. For the CCR5Δ32 polymorphism, no association was found between the type of periodontitis and having different genotype or allele distributions among GAgP, CP, or CG patients.Conclusion: The single nucleotide polymorphism of CCL5‐403 G substitution by A may play a role in AgP; however, the CCR5Δ32 polymorphism may not.

Published: August 2014

Background: The present study aims to examine the inhibitory effect of cyclosporin‐A (CsA) on periodontal breakdown and to further explore the correlations of CsA‐induced attenuation of periodontal bone loss with the expressions of gelatinases (i.e., matrix metalloproteinase [MMP]‐2 and MMP‐9) and extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN).Methods: Forty Sprague‐Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: 1) control; 2) CsA; 3) ligature (Lig); and 4) ligature plus CsA (Lig + CsA). The CsA group received 10 mg ⋅ Kg−1 ⋅ d−1 CsA for 8 days. The Lig group received silk ligature on selected molars. The Lig + CsA group received silk ligature and CsA treatment. The inhibitory effects of CsA on the ligature‐induced periodontal breakdown was examined with microcomputed tomography (micro‐CT) and histometric analyses to analyze the amount of attachment loss, crestal bone loss, connective tissue attachment, and the surface area with inflammatory cell infiltration. The effects of CsA on ligature‐induced expressions of gelatinases and EMMPRIN in gingival tissues were examined with Western blotting and zymography, respectively.Results: By micro‐CT and histology, the Lig + CsA group had significantly more periodontal breakdown than the control and CsA groups but less periodontal breakdown than the Lig group. Consistent results were found for the expressions of gelatinases and EMMPRIN among the groups demonstrating that the Lig + CsA group had significantly less gingival protein expression of gelatinases and EMMPRIN than the Lig group.Conclusions: CsA inhibited the expressions of gelatinase MMPs and EMMPRIN and partially prevented the periodontal breakdown in ligature‐induced experimental periodontitis. The CsA‐induced attenuation of periodontal bone loss was strongly correlated positively with the expressions of MMP‐2, MMP‐9, and EMMPRIN in gingiva.

Objectives. We evaluated the relationship between dentist supply and children’s oral health and explored heterogeneity by children’s age and urbanicity.Methods. We obtained data from the 2007 National Survey of Children’s Health (> 27 000 children aged 1–10 years; > 23 000 children aged 11–17 years). We estimated the association between state-level dentist supply and multiple measures of children’s oral health using regression analysis adjusting for several child, family, and population-level characteristics.Results. Dentist supply was significantly related to better oral health outcomes among children aged 1 to 10 years. The odds of decay and bleeding gums were lower by more than 50% (odds ratio [OR] = 0.46; 95% CI = 0.23, 0.95) and 80% (OR = 0.18; 95% CI = 0.05, 0.76), respectively, with an additional dentist per 1000 population. The odds of a worse maternal rating of child’s dental health on a 5-category scale from poor to excellent were lower by about 50% in this age group with an additional dentist per 1000 population (OR = 0.51; 95% CI = 0.29, 0.91). We observed associations only for children in urban settings.Conclusions. Dentist supply is associated with improved oral health for younger children in urban settings.

Resumo
As águas profundas representam uma parte significativa da futura exploração e produção de petróleo e gás. Porém, os cientistas afirmaram que o ambiente de águas profundas é menos conhecido do que o lado escuro da lua. Ao mesmo tempo, existe uma crescente pressão das ONG's para adiar a exploração em águas profundas até que se saiba mais sobre os potenciais impactos. Em parceria com a comunidade científica marinha, e através da habilitação em Angola, a BP desenvolveu e instalou pela primeira vez no mundo o Sistema de Observação Ambiental a Longo Prazo em Águas Profundas (DELOS - Deepwater Environmental Long-term Observatory System) ao largo da costa de Angola. Foram instaladas duas estações de monitorização ambiental, uma no Campo Próximo e outra no Campo Distante, 16 kms de distância de qualquer infra-estrutura. Estas plataformas submarinas permanecerão no local durante aproximadamente 25 anos e, pela primeira vez, irão fornecer dados cientificamente viáveis para distinguir entre a mudança antropogénica e natural no fundo marinho. Sem esse entendimento as futuras mudanças no ambiente de águas profundas podem ser incorrectamente atribuídas a operações de Exploração & Petróleo.
Os dados recolhidos serão fundamentais para ajudar a indústria e a comunidade científica a construir uma imagem de longo prazo dos processos do fundo oceânico e ecologia. Em particular, isso permitir-nos-á: ➢Medir e monitorizar as comunidades biológicas de águas profundas➢Monitorizar o ritmo da recuperação de quaisquer impactos imprevistos➢Diferenciar entre as mudanças naturais e antropogénicas e proporcionar uma ligação entre a biodiversidade marinha e as mudanças climáticas
Descreve-se o desenvolvimento do sistema, desde o conceito ao fabrico, instalação e recuperação dos primeiros dados descritos, incluindo uma primeira utilização do Plástico Reforçado com Fibra de Vidro (PRFV) não-corrosivo como principal elemento estrutural para uma instalação submarina em águas profundas. Discute-se igualmente a selecção dos vários módulos de instrumentação e a sua aplicação.

Authors: Włodarczyk Marcin , Sobolewska Aleksandra , Lesiak Aleksandra , Narbutt Joanna 
Published: August 2014

AbstractFactor XIII (FXIII) is a unique clotting factor activated in the last stage of the coagulation cascade, with multiple other plasmatic and cellular functions, outside of the traditional homeostasis. Literature data show that FXIII is expressed in skin lesions in the course of various inflammatory skin disorders. Dermis contains a series of macrophages and dendritic cells, which express different phenotypes including FXIII. Increased levels of FXIII-positive cells are present in specific cutaneous inflammatory and fibrotic conditions. The aim of this review is to provide the relationship between FXIII and the development of the inflammatory skin lesions.

Published: August 2014

AbstractOxidative stress is known to be a key factor in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Neuronal redox status is maintained by glucose metabolism via the pentose-phosphate pathway and it is known that disruption of glucose metabolism is damaging to neurons. Accumulating evidence supports the idea that glucose metabolism is altered in PD and dysregulation of the pentose-phosphate pathway in this disease has recently been shown. In this review, we present an overview of the literature regarding neuronal glucose metabolism and PD, and discuss the implications of these findings for PD pathogenesis and possible future therapeutic avenues.
Challenges in research on the neural basis of „chemobrain”
Authors: Kaiser Jochen , Dietrich Jörg 
Published: August 2014

AbstractCancer survivors treated with chemotherapy frequently complain about impairment of cognitive functions including attention and memory. While the contribution of factors like psychological distress, anxiety or fatigue to this “chemobrain” syndrome has been discussed, studies in rodents have demonstrated the toxicity of various chemotherapeutic substances to the adult central nervous system. In humans, structural brain imaging has revealed both reduced gray and white matter volume and decreased white matter integrity related to chemotherapeutic treatment. Studies of brain function have found alterations in brain activation patterns during different types of tasks. Nevertheless, further clinical research using prospective designs in larger samples is required to better understand the relationship between chemotherapy and cognitive deficits. Variables that need to be considered more systematically include drug dose, genetic variations, and psychological factors. Assessing both electroencephalographic and hemodynamic responses during tasks at different stages of the processing hierarchy and at different difficulty levels should help in pinpointing the cortical processes affected by chemotherapy.
Injection Molding of Beverage Container Caps Made of a Composite Consisting of Wood Cellulose Fiber and an Ethylene-Acrylic Acid Copolymer
Authors: Ariño R. , Boldizar A. 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
The influence of processing parameters on injection-molded bottle caps consisting of 20 wt% of cellulose fibers and an ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer was studied. The study included three cylinder barrel temperatures and three mold temperatures. For each combination of temperatures, the holding pressure time was varied and the mold sealing time was determined. High density polyethylene caps were also produced as reference material, and injection-molded tensile test bars were also produced in order to assess the tensile mechanical properties. The results showed no major differences in sealing time for the caps containing cellulose fibers, except for the highest melt and mold temperatures where a slightly longer time was observed. The viscosity of the composite material was higher than that of the polymeric matrix. For the highest temperature and high shear rates, the viscosity of the composite material was close to the viscosity of the matrix material. The moisture content of the injection-molded bars was less than 1 %, showing that almost no water was absorbed during the compounding or after several months. The crystallinity decreased when the fibers were included but was not influenced by the mold temperature. Enhanced mechanical properties were obtained by using the fibers compared to the pure ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer, both in the tensile test bars and in the caps. The reference high density polyethylene had, however, a higher mechanical performance than the composite.
Interview met Kamerlid Ard van der Steur: de wetsvoorstellen bevordering mediation

MP Ard van der Steur: the bills promoting mediaton
Mr Ard van der Steur MP for the Dutch Liberals (VVD), has introduced three interconnected private member bills to anchor mediation more firmly into the Dutch legal system. This initiative grew out from dissatisfaction over the truly minimal implementation of EU Directive 2008/52 in the Netherlands. For one thing, the bill envisages stricter quality standards and registration requirements. Professional privilege, for instance, will only accrue to those who meet all requirements as Registermediators. Another interesting aspect of the bills concerns the duty for parties to indicate to court in the writ of summons whether mediation has been attempted, and if not, why not. If a legal question arises while a mediation is pending before a Registermediator, the latter may refer that question on behalf of the parties to a cantonal judge electronically, whereas proviso is made for the judge handing down judgment at short notice, in order not to interrupt the flow of mediation more than necessary. These are just some of the innovative aspects of the bills that are being discussed during this interview at the premises of the Dutch parliament.
Wind‐modulated buoyancy circulation over the Texas‐Louisiana shelf
Authors: Zhang Zhaoru , Hetland Robert , Zhang Xiaoqian 
Published: August 2014

AbstractThis numerical investigation examines buoyancy‐driven circulation on the Texas‐Louisiana shelf modulated by seasonal winds. In wintertime, with downcoast (in the direction of Kelvin wave propagation) wind forcing, the Mississippi‐Atchafalaya River plume exhibits a bottom‐advected pattern. The plume is fairly wide and the horizontal density gradients span almost across the entire shelf inshore of 50 m. Within the plume, vertical shear of alongshore flow is in thermal wind balance with the cross‐shore density gradient, and the shear causes a slight reversal of alongshore flow near the bottom. An alongshore flow estimated by the thermal wind relation, along with an assumption of zero bottom velocity, generally well agrees with the actual flow near the surface in regions deeper than 20 m. In spring and summer, the thermal‐wind‐balance‐derived flow deviates from the actual alongshore flow, and an Ekman flow driven by strong onshore wind makes the major contribution to the deviation. Besides, the summertime upcoast wind component transforms the plume to a surface‐advected state, resulting in reduced cross‐shore density gradients and increasing the relative importance of wind‐driven, barotropic alongshore flow, which contributes to the remaining deviation.

AbstractA suite of eight rocks analyzed by the Curiosity Rover while it was stopped at the Rocknest sand ripple shows the greatest chemical divergence of any potentially sedimentary rocks analyzed in the early part of the mission. Relative to average Martian soil and to the stratigraphically lower units encountered as part of the Yellowknife Bay formation, these rocks are significantly depleted in MgO, with a mean of 1.3 wt %, and high in Fe, averaging over 20 wt % FeOT, with values between 15 and 26 wt % FeOT. The variable iron and low magnesium and rock texture make it unlikely that these are igneous rocks. Rock surface textures range from rough to smooth, can be pitted or grooved, and show various degrees of wind erosion. Some rocks display poorly defined layering while others seem to show possible fractures. Narrow vertical voids are present in Rocknest 3, one of the rocks showing the strongest layering. Rocks in the vicinity of Rocknest may have undergone some diagenesis similar to other rocks in the Yellowknife Bay Formation as indicated by the presence of soluble calcium phases. The most reasonable scenario is that fine‐grained sediments, potentially a mixture of feldspar‐rich rocks from Bradbury Rise and normal Martian soil, were lithified together by an iron‐rich cement.
