An investigation was carried out to assess the gene action in bottle gourd for twenty- three characters at Main Experiment Station, Department of Vegetable Science, A.N.D.U.A.&T., Kumarganj, Ayodhya (U.P). during Zaid 2022 using 12 genotypes, nine lines i.e., Narendra Rashmi, NDBG-17, Pusa Naveen, NDBG-21, Punjab Komal, NDBG-28, NDBG-65-2, NDBG-105, NDBG-Sel-2 and three testers i.e., Narendra Prabha, Narendra Kamna, Narendra Pooja and their 27 hybrids obtained through line × tester mating pattern. The variances due to sca (σ2 s) were higher than variance due to gca (σ2g) for all the characters. The value of dominance genetic variances (σ2 D) were larger than additive genetic variance (σ2 A), indicating the presence of dominance and over dominance effects and preponderance of non-additive gene action .The heritability in narrow sense was low for most of the traits except fruit length, days to first staminate flower anthesis and primary branches per plant where high estimate of heritability in narrow sense with low genetic advance were recorded, indicating the presence of non-additive gene action accompanied by environmental influence.

Published: March 2024

The study aimed at tracing Haemophilus influenzae on toilet seat bowls of some public toilets in Port Harcourt. The toilets were coded DER, TYU, AFR for park, market and hospital toilets respectively, for the purpose of the study. Swabs were collected aseptically from the toilet seat bowls, with a moistened swab stick, and then introduced into a freshly prepared sterile peptone water for viability of the Haemophilus influenza isolates. Thereafter, the spread plate technique was employed in which the swabbed samples were inoculated into Chocolate agar. Result showed toilet seat bowl coded DER had a Haemophilus influenzae mean count of 5 x 102CFU/ml while codes TYU and AFR had a mean Haemophilus influenzae counts of 6 x 102 and 9 x 102 CFU/ml respectively. A percentage frequency occurrence of Haemophilus influenzae on the toilet bowl showed DER coded toilets had 17% frequency of occurrence, while codes TYU and AFR had 25 and 58% frequency of occurrence respectively. A total of 49 isolates of Haemophilus influenzae were identified macroscopically and biochemically. The presence of Haemophilus influenzae on surface of toilet seat bowl may have resulted from aerosols generated during flushing. Thus, influenza infection (respiratory tract infection) may affect users. Hence, toilet seats, specifically, codes AFR class of toilets should be closed before and after flushing at all times.

Published: June 2006

AbstractHere, we evaluate linguistic skills and neuropsychological performance in a sample of patients with SHH mutations and a holoprosencephaly (HPE)‐like phenotype, a minor form of classic HPE. Our findings suggest that patients with SHH mutations and a HPE‐like phenotype have normal cognitive ratios and significant language impairment. Imaging evaluation by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was normal in three patients and in one there was hypoplasia of the anterior commissure and the presence of a temporal cyst, apparently not related to the clinical findings. © 2006 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Retaliatory discourse: the politics of attack and withdrawal
Authors: Layton Lynne 
Published: June 2006

AbstractLong‐term and recent sociopolitical trends in the USA pull for narcissistic ways of fashioning the self and relating to others. Discourses that sustain a split between capacities for autonomy and capacities for attachment, and discourses that sustain a split between individuals and their social surround elicit omnipotent and/or submissive modes of narcissistic relating. An increasingly vulnerable and socially abandoned population, conditioned to be ashamed of its vulnerabilities and dependency, finds itself subject to discourses that pull for various splits between “us” and “them.” This situation is a breeding ground for a politics of attack, or a politics of hostile withdrawal, or both. Neoconservatism fosters a politics of attack, and liberalism fosters a politics of withdrawal. Drawing on the psychoanalytic concept of “thirdness,” the paper concludes that only discourses and institutions that foster interdependence, containment of vulnerability, and the bringing together of relational and autonomous capacities can counter retaliatory politics.

Published: June 2006

AbstractWe report for the first time the transcatheter closure of a traumatic ventricular septal defect (VSD) with the Amplatzer muscular VSD occluder in a 34‐year‐old man who had been stabbed through the heart. After his initial life‐saving surgery to relieve tamponade, control bleeding, and repair the lacerated right ventricle, the risks and difficulties of subsequent open heart surgery were felt to favor transcatheter closure. We review other reports of transcatheter closure of traumatic VSD. © 2006 Wiley‐Liss., Inc.
Automated interpretation of subcellular patterns in fluorescence microscope images for location proteomics
Authors: Chen Xiang , Velliste Meel , Murphy Robert F. 
Published: June 2006

AbstractProteomics, the large scale identification and characterization of many or all proteins expressed in a given cell type, has become a major area of biological research. In addition to information on protein sequence, structure and expression levels, knowledge of a protein's subcellular location is essential to a complete understanding of its functions. Currently, subcellular location patterns are routinely determined by visual inspection of fluorescence microscope images. We review here research aimed at creating systems for automated, systematic determination of location. These employ numerical feature extraction from images, feature reduction to identify the most useful features, and various supervised learning (classification) and unsupervised learning (clustering) methods. These methods have been shown to perform significantly better than human interpretation of the same images. When coupled with technologies for tagging large numbers of proteins and high‐throughput microscope systems, the computational methods reviewed here enable the new subfield of location proteomics. This subfield will make critical contributions in two related areas. First, it will provide structured, high‐resolution information on location to enable Systems Biology efforts to simulate cell behavior from the gene level on up. Second, it will provide tools for Cytomics projects aimed at characterizing the behaviors of all cell types before, during, and after the onset of various diseases. © 2006 International Society for Analytical Cytology
Bim mediates apoptosis of CD127lo effector T cells and limits T cell memory

Published: June 2006

AbstractFollowing an acute T cell response, most activated effector cells die, while some survive and become memory cells. The pro‐apoptotic Bcl‐2 family member, Bcl‐2 interacting mediator of death (Bim) is critical for eliminating most effector T cells, while expression of CD127 (IL‐7Rα) has been proposed to mark effector cells destined to become memory cells. Here, we examined the effects of Bim on the death of effector T cells in relationship to CD127 expression and on development of T cell memory following lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infection. We found that large numbers of CD127lo LCMV‐specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were lost in wild‐type mice, but were spared in Bim–/– mice. Further, while the numbers of CD127hi T cells declined only slightly during contraction of the response in wild‐type mice, they increased significantly in Bim–/– mice due to re‐expression of CD127 on CD127lo T cells that had avoided apoptosis. Functional memory T cells were significantly increased in Bim–/– mice; however, they underwent a slow attrition due to decreased proliferative renewal. Taken together, these data suggest that the absence of Bim‐mediated death of LCMV‐specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in vivo can increase T cell memory, but other homeostatic mechanisms control the long‐term maintenance of memory cells.
Characterization of nano hydroxyapatite/collagen surfaces and cellular behaviors

Published: June 2006

AbstractOsseointegration at the bone–implant interface is a prerequisite for endosseous implants to succeed in achieving and maintaining their long‐term stability in bone tissue. The achievement of osseointegration is significantly affected by surface nature of implants. To optimize osseointegration, this study presents the characterization of synthesized nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite (nano HA) and in vitro studies on nano HA, nano‐HA/collagen, and titanium surfaces. Voids were found within the grain of nano HA, which consisted of the shell and the core. The finding assists the clarification of microstructures of nano HA. By low‐temperature mixing nano‐HA sol with collagen gel (nano‐HA/collagen 80:20), nano HA, and nano‐HA/collagen coated on pure titanium or porous anodic titanium oxides resulted in higher wettability and lower roughness. The in vitro studies showed that porous structures produced by anodic oxides on titanium served as positive anchorage sites for cell filopodia to connect, and nano HA decreased cell attachment of osteoblasts and induced well‐developed long filopodia and broad lamellipodia, thereby enhancing cellular motility. Collagen involvement enhanced cell adhesion to nano HA. Cell reactions to nano HA, nano‐HA/collagen, native, and porous titanium surfaces provide some guidance for an optimal osseointegration by their application in surface modifications for implants. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: June 2006

AbstractMonolithic materials have become a well‐established format for stationary phases in the field of capillary electrochromatography. Four types of monoliths, namely particle‐fixed, silica‐based, polymer‐based, and molecularly imprinted monoliths, have been utilized as enantiomer‐selective stationary phases in CEC. This review summarizes recent developments in the area of monolithic enantiomer‐selective stationary phases for CEC. The preparative procedure and the characterization of these columns are highlighted. In addition, the disadvantages and limitations of different monolithic enantiomer‐selective stationary phases in CEC are briefly discussed.
Autoignition of H2/CO at elevated pressures in a rapid compression machine
Authors: Mittal Gaurav , Sung Chih‐Jen , Yetter Richard A. 
Published: June 2006

AbstractAutoignition of H2/O2 and H2/CO/O2 mixtures has been studied in a rapid compression machine at pressures from 15 to 50 bar, temperatures from 950 to 1100 K, and equivalence ratios from 0.36 to 1.6. In addition, the effect of change in relative concentrations of H2 and CO is investigated by replacing H2 with CO, while keeping the total fuel mole fraction of the combined H2/CO fuel constant. Under the experimental conditions of intermediate temperature and high pressure, reactions involving formation and consumption of HO2 and H2O2 are important. Results show that for H2 autoignition, the mechanism of O'Conaire et al. agrees well with the experimental data, although some improvements can still be made. At all the pressures investigated, replacement of some amount of H2 by CO in a reacting mixture leads to an increase in ignition delay, even with small amounts of CO addition. The inhibition effect of CO addition is also observed to be much more pronounced with increasing pressure. For H2/CO mixtures, the existing mechanisms of Li et al., Davis et al., and GRI‐Mech 3.0 fail to describe the experimental trend of ignition delay. At a pressure of 50 bar, ignition delays are seen to decrease monotonically with O2 addition, although such an effect is rather weak. Kinetic analysis further demonstrates that under the present experimental conditions, CO + HO2 = CO2 + OH is the primary reaction responsible for the mismatch of experimental and calculated ignition delays. Significant improvements in the ignition delay predictions can be made by reducing this reaction rate. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 38: 516–529, 2006
Controlled radical polymerization by carboxyl‐ and hydroxyl‐terminated dithiocarbamates and xanthates
Authors: Lai John T. , Shea Ronald 
Published: June 2006

AbstractCarboxyl‐ and hydroxyl‐terminated dithiocarbamates and xanthates were practically synthesized. Carboxyl‐ and hydroxyl‐terminated polymers were made from them. These reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agents had low chain‐transfer constants that resulted in wider molecular distributions for the polymers. Nevertheless, kinetic studies showed that the polymerization behaved like a RAFT‐mediated process after a fast start. 1H NMR and matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization spectra confirmed that the functional group or groups were cleanly transferred to the polymer end or ends. The copolymerization of methacrylates and acrylates could bring the former under control during radical polymerization. Block copolymers were synthesized through the condensation of the functional polymers with other types of functional polymers or through the condensation of the functional agents followed by radical polymerization. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Relationship of species composition of tropical seagrass meadows to multiple physical environmental factors
Authors: Tanaka Yoshiyuki , Kayanne Hajime 
Published: June 2006

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between species composition of tropical seagrasses and various physical environmental factors: depth, sediment thickness and silt–clay content in the sediments. We investigated species composition and abundance of seagrasses as well as the physical environmental factors for six transects around Ishigaki Island, southwest Japan. Eight species occurred in the quadrat census. The occurrence frequencies ranged from 66.8% (Thalassia hemprichii) to 4.5% (Enhalus acoroides). Both canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) and cluster analysis elucidated that depth was mainly responsible for the distributions of species and assemblage type. Monte Carlo permutation for partial CCA revealed that 37.5% of the variance was explained by depth, 10.3% by sediment thickness and 4.6% by silt–clay content in the sediment. Twenty‐six sites were categorized into four assemblage types by a cluster analysis using the leaf area index (LAI; the ratio of total leaf area to bottom area) as a measure of species abundance. Type I was dominated by T. hemprichii and Cymodocea rotundata, Type II by C. serrulata, Type III by E. acoroides, and Type IV by Halodule pinifolia and Halophila ovalis. Type I occurred mostly in the intertidal zone (91.3±30.5 cm below MSL, mean sea level), Type II in the subtidal zone (179.1±75.0 cm below MSL) and Type IV in both shallow sites (between 47.8 and 75.6 cm below MSL) and in those with low silt–clay contents (between 2.0 and 3.8%).
Prevalence of hyperventilation syndrome in an allergy clinic, compared with a routine ENT clinic
Authors: Ogata N , Bapat U , Darby Y , Scadding G 
Published: June 2006

Objectives: A high prevalence of chronic hyperventilation syndrome in patients with asthma has been reported. We examined whether this phenomenon extended to allergy clinic patients in general and whether the prevalence was higher in patients attending a general allergy clinic compared with those attending a routine ENT clinic in our hospital.Methods: We examined the prevalence of hyperventilation syndrome in unselected, consecutive patients (n = 100) seen in an allergy clinic. The validated Nijmegen questionnaire was completed by patients in the waiting room. We also administered the questionnaire to unselected, consecutive patients (n = 100) in a routine ENT clinic.Results: There was no significant difference in prevalence of hyperventilation between allergy clinic and routine ENT clinic patients (25/100 vs 23/100).Conclusion: The result indicates a high prevalence of hyperventilation amongst hospital attendees in general. Consideration should perhaps be given to the possible role of hyperventilation in symptomatology.
Climate warming and disease risks in temperate regions – Argulus coregoni and Diplostomum spathaceum as case studies
Authors: Hakalahti T. , Karvonen A. , Valtonen E.T. 
Published: June 2006

AbstractThe link between climate changes and disease risks from various pathogens has been increasingly recognized. The effect of climatic factors on host–parasite population dynamics is particularly evident in northern latitudes where the occurrence and transmission of parasites are strongly regulated by seasonality-driven changes in environmental temperatures. Shortened winter periods would increase growth potential of many parasite populations. The ways in which climate warming could affect life history dynamics of the directly transmitted crustacean ectoparasite Argulus coregoni and complex life cycle trematode Diplostomum spathaceum, which frequently cause problems in northern fish farming, are discussed. Increased problems for fish farming are predicted in terms of increased infection pressure from these parasites in future. This would increase problems associated with infections and increase the use of expensive management protocols with high environmental impact.

AbstractSystematic, operational, long‐term observations of the terrestrial carbon cycle (including its interactions with water, energy and nutrient cycles and ecosystem dynamics) are important for the prediction and management of climate, water resources, food resources, biodiversity and desertification. To contribute to these goals, a terrestrial carbon observing system requires the synthesis of several kinds of observation into terrestrial biosphere models encompassing the coupled cycles of carbon, water, energy and nutrients. Relevant observations include atmospheric composition (concentrations of CO2 and other gases); remote sensing; flux and process measurements from intensive study sites; in situ vegetation and soil monitoring; weather, climate and hydrological data; and contemporary and historical data on land use, land use change and disturbance (grazing, harvest, clearing, fire).A review of model–data synthesis tools for terrestrial carbon observation identifies ‘nonsequential’ and ‘sequential’ approaches as major categories, differing according to whether data are treated all at once or sequentially. The structure underlying both approaches is reviewed, highlighting several basic commonalities in formalism and data requirements.An essential commonality is that for all model–data synthesis problems, both nonsequential and sequential, data uncertainties are as important as data values themselves and have a comparable role in determining the outcome.Given the importance of data uncertainties, there is an urgent need for soundly based uncertainty characterizations for the main kinds of data used in terrestrial carbon observation. The first requirement is a specification of the main properties of the error covariance matrix.As a step towards this goal, semi‐quantitative estimates are made of the main properties of the error covariance matrix for four kinds of data essential for terrestrial carbon observation: remote sensing of land surface properties, atmospheric composition measurements, direct flux measurements, and measurements of carbon stores.
