Surface Waxes in Grapevine as Target for Resistance Breeding
Creators: name: Ge, Xinshuang

Year: 2021

description: Viticulture accounts for around 80% of fungicide use in Europe, a demand which is caused by several diseases that have been introduced in the 19th century, especially Powdery Mildew (Arnold, Schnitzler, Douard, Peter, & Gillet, 2005). Owing to the structure and the location of surface wax (Collinge, 2009; L. Kunst & Samuels, 2003), maybe it can block Powdery Mildew penetrating the surface wax and cuticle as well as the adhesion at the leaf surface (Wenping Qiu, 2015). It is important consequently to find out that if there are distinct resistance to the Powdery Mildew in the grape accessions which have wax accumulation differences. Further wax biosynthesis mechanism needs to be investigated in the grapevine collection. That can provide another strategy to create new varieties. In this study, there were three types of wax morphologies discerned as long wing-like structure, small wax crystals and occurrence long wax wings with small wax crystals together in the wild ancestor of domesticated grapevine collections. Surface waxes formation and accumulation of the genotypes indicated genetic variation and wax contents stabilized at fully expanded leaves. The relationship between wax content and Powdery Mildew resistance was that varieties with low wax abundance were more susceptible to Powdery Mildew. Moreover, the higher wax accumulation of Ke114 genotype, compared with genotype of Ke35, could prevent the Powdery Mildew spores further generating the appressorium, instead, the aberrant stage ap*(only hyphae growth) appearance, thus influenced the resistance to Powdery Mildew. We found one pair of Ke114 and Ke35, which were close to each other according to the SNP polygenetic tree, that they had different wax formation and the resistance to the Powdery Mildew. Further the expression levels of MYB106 and MYB30 were also distinguished in the pair, especially MYB106 expression level in the secondary leaf. Both of them could complement the wax-lack phenotype in myb106 and myb30 Arabidopsis mutant background, respectively. MYB 106 and MYB 30 interacted with each other to regulate the wax biosynthesis in the pair. Furthermore, chitosan, as the main component of fungal cell walls could regulate the promoter activity of MYB 106 and MYB 30, further influenced the genes expression level and regulate the wax biosynthesis in the Ke114 and Ke35.

description: In 2005, Wyart et al. (Europhys. Lett., 72 (2005) 486) showed that the low frequency vibrational properties of jammed amorphous sphere packings can be understood in terms of a length scale, called l*, that diverges as the system becomes marginally unstable. Despite the tremendous success of this theory, it has been difficult to connect the counting argument that defines l* to other length scales that diverge near the jamming transition. We present an alternate derivation of l* based on the onset of rigidity. This phenomenological approach reveals the physical mechanism underlying the length scale and is relevant to a range of systems for which the original argument breaks down. It also allows us to present the first direct numerical measurement of l*.

description: Despite extensive efforts to support teachers with the integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) into their classroom practice, current research reports that teachers face immense challenges when integrating ICT into their teaching. This issue has become even more relevant with the rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus, forcing schools around the world to close for an indefinite period of time and thus to offer remote digital learning solutions. Against this background, this study focused on examining the predictors of pre-service teachers’ prospective ICT use and investigated the heterogeneous results of previous research related to ICT use and gender. Following the ‘will, skill, tool’ framework, the study examined relevant factors of pre-service teachers’ (N = 103) prospective ICT use for teaching and learning processes by means of multiple regression analyses. The analyses included pre-service teachers’ background characteristics, ICT profiles (attitudes and self-efficacy), digital competencies and use of digital tools in order to explore their role in future in-class use of ICT. They also show that there are no gender differences in pre-service teachers’ prospective ICT integration. However, male pre-service teachers hold more positive attitudes towards ICT use than their female counterparts. Additionally, the findings reveal that the two strongest predictors of pre-service teachers’ future ICT use are their attitudes and perceived competency to teach and implement technology in their teaching practices. Finally, the results provide important information about teachers’ training needs. Implications of the results and further research are discussed.

description: To study electronic transport through chaotic quantum dots, there are two main theoretical approachs. One involves substituting the quantum system with a random scattering matrix and performing appropriate ensemble averaging. The other treats the transport in the semiclassical approximation and studies correlations among sets of classical trajectories. There are established evaluation procedures within the semiclassical evaluation that, for several linear and non-linear transport moments to which they were applied, have always resulted in the agreement with random matrix predictions. We prove that this agreement is universal: any semiclassical evaluation within the accepted procedures is equivalent to the evaluation within random matrix theory. The equivalence is shown by developing a combinatorial interpretation of the trajectory sets as ribbon graphs (maps) with certain properties and exhibiting systematic cancellations among their contributions. Remaining trajectory sets can be identified with primitive (palindromic) factorisations whose number gives the coefficients in the corresponding expansion of the moments of random matrices. The equivalence is proved for systems with and without time reversal symmetry.

description: The research presented here examines an 8-hour observation of pulsar B1822-09,taken by the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope. B1822-09 has been known to exhibit two stable emission modes, the B-mode, where the precursor (PC) `turns-on', and the Q-mode, which is defined by interpulse (IP) emission. The results of our analysis, of this extremely long observation, have shown that B1822-09 exhibits at least three other emission behaviors that have not been seen before in other similar pulsars or in other observations of B1822-09. These three behaviors can be described as: Q-mode emission with PC emission, B-mode emission with IP emission, and instances where both the PC and IP are `on' when transitioning from one mode to the other. The pulse structure has been found to be more complex than previously thought. The MP has an inner cone/core triple (T) configuration together with a central sightline traverse. The IP is a 15/degr-wide region, that along with the MP originate from an open dipolar field. The PC emission comes from a still unknown source. We argue that the PC emission arises within the same region as the MP, but likely comes from higher in the magnetosphere. Overall, our analyses strongly suggest that mode changes allow information transfer between the two magnetic polar regions and contribute to global magnetospheric changes.

description: Competition in the Las Vegas nightclub industry has been growing fiercer over the last five years. This is due to the sheer number of nightclubs opening as well as millions of dollars spent on their construction and design. Long gone are the days of the warehouse style nightclubs of years past. We are in a modern era for nightclubs where architects from all over the world are collaborating to build the next best venue in Las Vegas. In order to compete in this highly competitive marketplace, owners and managers must give their employees all the tools necessary to succeed. Employees must be highly trained and efficient sales people in order for the venue to be successful. It is not enough to build a great space, the people inside that space need to back it up. The bottom line is the name of the game in this industry, so employees must have all the training necessary to not be simply order takers, but sales people.

description: A Wilsonian renormalization group approach is applied, in order to include effects of the higher Landau levels for quarks into a set of renormalized parameters for the lowest Landau level (LLL), plus a set of operators made of the LLL fields. Most of the calculations can be done in a model-independent way with perturbation theory for hard gluons, thanks to form factors of quark-gluon vertices that arise from the Ritus bases for quark fields. As a part of such renormalization program, we compute the renormalized quark self-energy at 1-loop, including effects from all higher orbital levels. The result indicates that the higher orbital levels cease to strongly affect the LLL at a rather small magnetic field of (0.1 - 0.3) GeV^2.

description: We consider quantile regression for partially linear models where an outcome of interest is related to covariates and a marker set (e.g., gene or pathway). The covariate effects are modeled parametrically and the marker set effect of multiple loci is modeled using kernel machine. We propose an efficient algorithm to solve the corresponding optimization problem for estimating the effects of covariates and also introduce a powerful test for detecting the overall effect of the marker set. Our test is motivated by traditional score test, and borrows the idea of permutation test. Our estimation and testing procedures are evaluated numerically and applied to assess genetic association of change in fasting homocysteine level using the Vitamin Intervention for Stroke Prevention Trial data.
Susy Seesaw Inflation and NMSO(10)GUT

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We show that Supersymmetric models with Type I seesaw neutrino masses support slow roll inflection point inflation. The inflaton is the D-flat direction labelled by the chiral invariant HLN composed of the Higgs(H), slepton(L) and conjugate sneutrino(N) superfields. The scale of inflation and fine tuning is set by the conjugate neutrino Majorana mass $M_{ν^c} \sim 10^6-10^{12}$ GeV. The cubic term in the (quartic) inflaton potential is dominantly from superpotential (not soft Susy breaking) couplings. The tuning conditions are thus insensitive to soft supersymmetry breaking parameters and are generically much less stringent than for previous `A-term' inflation scenarios controlled by mass scales $\sim TeV$. WMAP limits on the ratio of tensor to scalar perturbations limit the scale $M$ controlling inflection point inflation: $M <7.9 \times 10^{13}$ GeV. `Instant preheating' is operative and dumps the inflaton energy into MSSM modes giving a high reheat temperature : $T_{rh} \approx M_{ν^c}^{3/4}\, 10^{6}$ GeV $\sim 10^{11}- 10^{15} $ GeV. A large gravitino mass $> 50 $ TeV is therefore required to avoid over closure by reheat produced gravitinos. `Instant preheating' and NLH inflaton facilitate production of right handed neutrinos during inflaton decay and thus non-thermal leptogenesis in addition to thermal leptogenesis. We show that the embedding in the fully realistic New Minimal Supersymmetric SO(10) GUT requires use of the heaviest righthanded neutrino mass as the controlling scale but the possibility of a measurable tensor scalar perturbation ratio seems marginal. We examine the parametric difficulties remaining.

description: A landslide breccia of plutonic and metamorphic rocks located 20 km east of Las Vegas, Nevada is interstratified with the late Tertiary Thumb Formation. Rock types of similar mineral composition to the landslide masses in the Rainbow Gardens are found 60 km to the east in the Gold Butte (Nevada) area. The landslide masses were displaced into their present position by lateral strike-slip motion along either the left-lateral Lake Mead fault system or the right-lateral Las Vegas shear zone. In t.he Rainbow Gardens landslide masses, five plutonic rock types, including rapakivi granite, match rocks from the Gold Butte area, both megascopically and petrographically. Rapakivi granite also crops out in the Eldorado and Newberry Mountains but other rock types in the range do not correlate with the Rainbow Gardens plutonic and metamorphic rocks. Distribution of the rock types in the landslide masses is non-random. This suggests that at the time of sliding the source terrain was nearby, and that the landslide masses moved as distinct toes, each characterized by a distinctive lithologic type. The Rainbow Gardens landslide masses were emplaced at the same time as the red Thumb sandstone. This is evidenced by incorporated masses of gneissic clasts in a matrix of Thumb sandstone at the lower contact of the landslide blocks, and the presence of intrusive Thumb sandstone dikes.

 This paper explores the differences in the usage by students of an online platform for supplementary resources between a first year and final year entrepreneurship course which are traditionally face-to-face. We found a weak correlation between use of the online resources and higher marks. The average amount of time spent and other habits were identified. We can use this data to improve the online offering element for students at university where supplementary online resources are offered alongside face-to-face teaching.

description: As a function of packing fraction at zero temperature and applied stress, an amorphous packing of spheres exhibits a jamming transition where the system is sensitive to boundary conditions even in the thermodynamic limit. Upon further compression, the system should become insensitive to boundary conditions provided it is sufficiently large. Here we explore the linear response to a large class of boundary perturbations in 2 and 3 dimensions. We consider each finite packing with periodic-boundary conditions as the basis of an infinite square or cubic lattice and study properties of vibrational modes at arbitrary wave vector. We find that the stability of such modes be understood in terms of a competition between plane waves and the anomalous vibrational modes associated with the jamming transition; infinitesimal boundary perturbations become irrelevant for systems that are larger than a length scale that characterizes the transverse excitations. This previously identified length diverges at the jamming transition.

Year: 2020

description: This paper is a study of the life and times of the important local Dunhuang Buddhist monk Daozhen (ca. 915–ca. 987, 道真), the abbot of the Sanjie Temple (三界寺), which was located next to the Mogao Caves (莫高窟). Daozhen is interesting for a variety of reasons, including his involvement with a number of restoration projects involving a cave and the library holdings of his own temple. Moreover, he is undoubtedly one of the best-documented figures in the history of Buddhism in Dunhuang (敦煌).

The activities of important individuals who operated within the religious space of the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang reflect the historical and religious dynamics of the site. Given that Daozhen was an important religious agent, understanding his significance and position within local Buddhism sheds light on how an influential cleric could shape religious life in a sacred space.

description: The Galactic magnetic field, locally observed to be on the order of a few $μ$G, is sufficiently strong to induce deflections in the arrival directions of ultra-high energy cosmic rays. We present a method that establishes measures of self-consistency for hypothesis sets comprised of cosmic magnetic field models and ultra-high energy cosmic ray composition and source distributions. The method uses two independent procedures to compare the backtracked velocity vectors outside the magnetic field model to the distribution of backtracked velocity directions of many isotropic observations with the same primary energies. This allows for an estimate of the statistical consistency between the observed data and simulated isotropic observations. Inconsistency with the isotropic expectation of source correlation in both procedures is interpreted as the hypothesis set providing a self-consistent description of GMF and UHECR properties for the cosmic ray observations.

description: Comparative biochemical analysis of mtHMG proteins from distantly related yeast species revealed that they exhibit a preference for recombination/replication intermediates. We discuss how these biochemical characteristics relate to the role of mtHMG proteins in mtDNA compaction and evolution.Yeast mtDNA is compacted into nucleoprotein structures called mitochondrial nucleoids (mt-nucleoids). The principal mediators of nucleoid formation are mitochondrial high-mobility group (HMG)-box containing (mtHMG) proteins. Although these proteins are some of the fastest evolving components of mt-nucleoids, it is not known whether the divergence of mtHMG proteins on the level of their amino acid sequences is accompanied by diversification of their biochemical properties. In the present study we performed a comparative biochemical analysis of yeast mtHMG proteins from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (ScAbf2p), Yarrowia lipolytica (YlMhb1p) and Candida parapsilosis (CpGcf1p). We found that all three proteins exhibit relatively weak binding to intact dsDNA. In fact, ScAbf2p and YlMhb1p bind quantitatively to this substrate only at very high protein to DNA ratios and CpGcf1p shows only negligible binding to dsDNA. In contrast, the proteins exhibit much higher preference for recombination intermediates such as Holliday junctions (HJ) and replication forks (RF). Therefore, we hypothesize that the roles of the yeast mtHMG proteins in maintenance and compaction of mtDNA invivo are in large part mediated by their binding to recombination/replication intermediates. We also speculate that the distinct biochemical properties of CpGcf1p may represent one of the prerequisites for frequent evolutionary tinkering with the form of the mitochondrial genome in the CTG-clade of hemiascomycetous yeast species.

description: Abstract
Serving the community is one of the important tasks or functions, especially in sub-districts that carry out their government functions. Public service is a very important factor in government management in government tasks because it involves very broad aspects of life. Public services are always associated with activities carried out by a person, group of people, or an organization to bring assistance and convenience to the community to achieve certain goals. Public services are becoming increasingly important because they are always in contact with people with different interests and goals. Thus, public service organizations can be run or not run by the government. In terms of government organizations providing services, the most important thing is how to provide assistance and convenience to the community to meet their needs and interests. This study aims to determine community satisfaction with public service administration at Malinau Hospital. This study uses a quantitative method with a Likert Scale measurement to assess community satisfaction surveys. The results of the community satisfaction index at Malinau Hospital are included in the total index of 3.17 with a survey value of 79.28 so that it can be categorized as performance quality B (Good). Service that pleases the community is one indicator of the success of every organization/public sector in providing services to the community.

description: In order to capture just how nonuniform and degraded the symmetry may become of an imploding inertial confinement fusion capsule one may resort to the analysis of high energy X ray point projection backlighting generated radiographs. Here we show new results for such images by using methods of modern harmonic analysis which involve different families of wavelets, curvelets and WaSP (wavelet square partition) functions from geometric measure theory. Three different methods of isolating morphologically diverse features are suggested together with statistical means of quantifying their content for the purposes of comparing the same implosion at different times, to simulations and to different implosion images.

Collaborative interaction: Military managers consulting with American Indians
Creators: name: Barrow, Susan B.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2001

description: This research paper outlines methods for American Indians' and military land managers' collaborative work of accomplishing resource stewardship aimed at achieving both the Indians' "One Earth" and military "Mission Preparedness" postures. The research goal is to benefit military facility managers' by providing tools to establish interaction programs with Indian Tribes and organizations. The paper provides a process framework, gleaned from on-going programs, directives, and policies identified by reviewing books, journals, and reports. A comparison of the process-streams from several programs was conducted determining steps recurring in the programs. These repeated steps form key processes for use by installation managers in starting and conducting government-to-government relations with American Indians. The research goal is to provide valid ideas, to be implemented leading to improving methods for conducting American Indian Interaction Programs, providing cooperative team management of military installation land. The process strategies are derived from reviewing interaction programs and research into cooperation, collaboration, and management strategies.

description: We present template radial velocity curves of $ab$-type RR Lyrae stars constructed from high-precision measurements of ${\rm Hα}$, ${\rm Hβ}$, and ${\rm Hγ}$ lines. Amplitude correlations between the Balmer line velocity curves, Johnson $V$-band, and SDSS $g$- and $r$-band light curves are also derived. Compared to previous methods, these templates and derived correlations reduce the uncertainty in measured systemic (center-of-mass) velocities of RR Lyrae stars by up to 15 {\kms}, and will be of particular interest to wide-area spectroscopic surveys such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and LAMOST Experiment for Galactic Understanding and Exploration (LEGUE).

Chirality of superfluid 3He-A

description: We have used torsional oscillators, containing disk-shaped slabs of superfluid 3He-A, to probe the chiral orbital textures created by cooling into the superfluid state while continuously rotating. Comparing the observed flow-driven textural transitions with numerical simulations of possible textures shows that an oriented monodomain texture with l antiparallel to the angular velocity Omega_0 is left behind after stopping rotation. The bias towards a particular chirality, while in the vortex state, is due to the inequivalence of energies of vortices of opposite circulation. When spun-up from rest, the critical velocity for vortex nucleation depends on the sense of rotation, Omega, relative to that of l. A different type of vorticity, apparently linked to the slab's rim by a domain wall, appears when Omega is parallel to l.

Investigation and Calculation of Dose Coefficients for Radionuclides Produced in a Spallation Neutron Source Using the ENSDF and NUBASE Nuclear Databases
Creators: name: Song, Yayun
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2004

description: Dose coefficients are useful for risk assessment during the design and siting of accelerator-driven nuclear facilities including the Spallation Neutron Source. There are seventy-two radionuclides with half-lives equal to or greater than one minute that will be produced by the spallation of a mercury target for which no published dose coefficients exist. Out of these seventy-two, twenty-four currently have conflicting published nuclear data in the Evaluated Nuclear Structure Data Files (ENSDF) and the NUBASE data files. In this research these twenty-four radionuclides have been studied. Because of missing ENSDF records, internal and external dose coefficients were determined for only six radionuclides using both ENSDF and NUBASE values, which had conflicting data. The methodology used was adopted from Federal Guidance Report 13. Information from this study will augment radiological data and be used to quantify the radiological risks to workers and members of public.
Random sets and exact confidence regions

Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: An important problem in statistics is the construction of confidence regions for unknown parameters. In most cases, asymptotic distribution theory is used to construct confidence regions, so any coverage probability claims only hold approximately, for large samples. This paper describes a new approach, using random sets, which allows users to construct exact confidence regions without appeal to asymptotic theory. In particular, if the user-specified random set satisfies a certain validity property, confidence regions obtained by thresholding the induced data-dependent plausibility function are shown to have the desired coverage probability.

Implicitly Transferring Development Rights: Land Coupon Policy’s Effects on Spatial Income Inequality

subject: Spatial Income Inequality

subject: Synthetic Control
subject: China

description: The misallocation of land resources in China harms the development of both rural and urban areas. Rural areas suﬀer from the surplus supply of construction land quota when its shortage emerges in urban areas. To address this allocative ineﬃciency and make villages enjoy the beneﬁt of urban development in China, the Land Coupon policy, similar to the U.S.’s Transferable Land Development Rights programs, was implemented in Chongqing province in 2008. This paper estimates the eﬀects of the Land Coupon approach on spatial income inequalities, particularly the urban-rural income ratio, applying the newly developed MASC estimator combining the matching and synthetic control estimators through model averaging. The evidence shows that the policy has indeed accelerated the decrease of the province-level urban-rural income gap. This paper discusses diﬀerent implementations of the MASC method with the variations of pre-treatment covariates, diﬀerent weights in the matching criterion, and how the cross-validation is done.

description: Diese Dissertation analysiert den Zusammenhang von neokonservativer Logik und der Idee des „American Decline“ in der außenpolitischen Debatte der USA von den 1960er-Jahren bis 2021 mit einem Fokus auf der Obama-Präsidentschaft (2009-17). Unter Anwendung der Imperiumstheorie untersucht sie Texte führender neokonservativer Plattformen und Denker_innen, die sich mit dem Wesen, den Aufgaben, den Kosten, dem Nutzen und der Zukunft amerikanischer Weltmacht befassen. Die Studie enthüllt die Niedergangsidee als einen integralen Bestandteil der neokonservativen Logik, der US-Superiorität legitimiert und stabilisiert. Sie vermittelt den Amerikaner_innen einen höheren Zweck und Orientierung, unterdrückt aber alternative Pfade für die Vereinigten Staaten durch die Gleichsetzung von US-Superiorität mit Weltordnung.
description: This dissertation examines the relationship between neoconservative logic and the idea of „American Decline” in the U.S. foreign policy debate from the 1960s until 2021 with a focus on the Obama presidency (2009-17). Building on imperial theory, the project analyses texts from leading neoconservative platforms and thinkers, dealing with the nature, tasks, costs, benefits and future of American world power. The study reveals the idea of decline as integral to neoconservative logic, as an element that legitimizes and stabilizes U.S. superiority. It provides Americans with a sense of mission and orientation and suppresses alternative paths for the United States due to its equation of U.S. superiority with world order.
