description: A novel esterase gene (e25) was identified from Altererythrobacter epoxidivorans CGMCC 1.7731T by genome sequence screening. The e25 gene is 948 nucleotides in length and encodes a 315 amino acid protein (E25) with a predicted molecular mass of 33,683 Da. A phylogenetic tree revealed that E25 belongs to the hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) family of lipolytic enzymes. An activity assay of E25 showed that it exhibited the highest catalytic efficiency when using p-nitrophenyl caproate (C6) as a substrate. The optimum pH and temperature were determined to be approximately pH 9 and 45°C, and the Km and Vmax values were 0.12 mM and 1,772 µmol/min/mg, respectively. After an incubation at 40°C for 80 min, E25 retained 75% of its basal activity. The enzyme exhibited good tolerance to metal cations, such as Ba2+, Ca2+, and Cu2+ (10 mM), but its activity was strongly inhibited by Co2+, Ni2+, Mn2+, and Zn2+. The E25 enzyme was stimulated by glycerol and retained over 60% of its basal activity in the presence of 1% Tween-80 and Triton X-100. Overall, the activity of E25 under alkaline conditions and its organic solvent and detergent tolerance indicate that E25 could be useful as a novel industrial catalyst in biotechnological applications.

description: The spectra of many X-ray pulsars show, in addition to a power law, a low-energy component that has often been modeled as a blackbody with kT ~ 0.1 keV. However the physical origin of this soft excess has remained a mystery. We examine a sample of well-studied, bright X-ray pulsars, which have been observed using ROSAT, ASCA, Ginga, RXTE, BeppoSAX, Chandra, and XMM-Newton. In particular we consider the Magellanic Cloud pulsars SMC X-1, LMC X-4, XTE J0111.2-7317, and RX J0059.2-7138 and the Galactic sources Her X-1, 4U 1626-67, Cen X-3, and Vela X-1. We show that the soft excess is a very common if not ubiquitous feature intrinsic to X-ray pulsars. We evaluate several possible mechanisms for the soft emission, using theoretical arguments as well as observational clues such as spectral shapes, eclipses, pulsations of the soft component, and superorbital modulation of the source flux. We find that reprocessing of hard X-rays from the neutron star by the inner region of the accretion disk is the only process that can explain the soft excess in all the pulsars with Lx > 10^38 ergs/s. Other mechanisms, such as emission from diffuse gas in the system, are important in less luminous objects.

description: Biosimilar/biotherapeutic production is becoming a major area of focus for a big chunk of biotechnology industry. Easy licensing and already approved status for clinical use have given it a boost. In the present study, recombinant human interferon gamma (IFNG) was expressed for the first time in Kluyveromyces lactis expression system and its expression was optimized by varying growth parameters and carbon source concentration with the aim of increasing recombinant protein production level. Human IFNG gene was cloned in the genomic DNA of K. lactis by homologous recombination and under unoptimized conditions in shake flask, IFNγ protein was secreted in the fermentation medium at a level of 175 µg/L quantified by ELISA assay. After the optimization of expression conditions using one-variable-at-a-time technique, expression level was enhanced by 2.2-folds. Substrate inhibition studies revealed that up to 80 g/L of lactose is well tolerated by K. lactis cells for its growth but more than 80 g/L of lactose causes remarkable reduction in biomass production.

description: The fertilizer sector in Zimbabwe has evolved over the years in response to different policy changes based on the government’s priorities on agricultural development. The industry grew from the 1930s that targeted primarily large scale commercial farmers, through the liberalization period of the mid 1990s, and recent changes that have introduced controls on the marketing system. Since 2000, following the fast track land reform program, Zimbabwe has faced food insecurity challenges that have been exacerbated by the political and economic crises. This prompted the government to adopt policies that have reduced private sector interests in fertilizer supply. In this situation where explicit fertilizer markets have been absent, relief programs have been leading in facilitating deliveries of fertilizers to poorer smallholder farmers located even in remote areas. The supply of fertilizers in Zimbabwe has been driven by government policy, finance and infrastructure while the demand has primarily been a function of farmer’s capacity to acquire fertilizers, availability of water and farmers knowledge of fertilizer use. There is need for a policy shift that promotes a competitive fertilizer marketing to support a broader range of farmers in Zimbabwe leading to agricultural productivity growth. Investment in infrastructure is critical to reduce marketing costs and to boost fertilizer demand; policies that strengthen farmer’s capacity to acquire fertilizers and increase their knowledge on fertilizer use complemented by technologies that promote water use efficiencies are needed.

description: As one kind of important secondary metabolites produced by Inonotus baumii, flavones can be applied in food, medicine and other industries due to their biological activities such as anti-oxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-baceterial activity. In order to enhance total flavone production in submerged fermentation of I. baumii, three different strategies, optimization of fermentation parameters by statistical designs including Plackett-Burman design and Response Surface Methodology, addition of precursors and elicitors and two-phase culture were used. The production of total flavones reached 1532.83 mg/ L when the optimized medium was used. All precursors and elicitors can increase the production of total flavones. The maximum production of flavones (2184.06 mg/ L, up to 1.57-fold) was obtained with the addition of both AgNO3 and glutathione in fermentation media. Interestingly, when 0.5% (w/v) DM130 macroporous resin as adsorbent was added to fermentation broth on day 4 of culture, the highest production reached 2407.79 mg/ L with this two-phase culture strategy. These methods can be further applied to large-scale industrial production and broaden the application of flavones.

description: Direct payments are a controversial issue in the accession negotiations. While the EU proposes reduced payments the accession countries claim that they should be equally treated as the present EU members. The present study, based on micro-simulations on the farm level, shows impacts of various policy options (ranging from non-accession to the granting of full direct payments) on the production structure and profitability of Hungarian agricultural enterprises. For most products prices are expected to be higher in 2004 than in the reference year, 2001. EU accession will have an additional positive effect on the prices of all products. Direct payments would further increase farm profits. In particular crop producers would benefit (due to the increase in the price of corn) while profits in animal production would be affected in a negative way due to increased opportunity costs of forage area and higher labour cost. The presented figures are based on data collected in 14 typical model farms selected from the Hungarian Farm Accountancy Data Network and they cannot be regarded perfectly representative. However, in accordance with other sector studies the figures allow two conclusions. First, the majority of Hungarian agriculture (with respect to the share in total farm area as well as the share in total standard gross margins) would suffer no economic harm from an EU accession without direct payments. Second, direct payments would increase farm profits in Hungary considerably.

description: A serine protease with preference for fibrin protein was purified and characterized from B.amyloliquefaciens MCC2606, isolated from dosa batter. The protease was purified using ammonium sulphate precipitation, ion-exchange and gel filtration chromatography. The degradation activity of the protease towards the fibrin was significantly higher compared with other protein substrates in the study. The molecular weight of the CFR15-protease was estimated to be 32 kDa based on SDS-PAGE. The purified enzyme exhibited both fibrinolytic and fibrinogenolytic activity. The optimum pH and temperature for the activity of the enzyme was found to be 10.5 and 45°C. A significant inhibition was seen with the protease inhibitors PMSF (Phenyl Methyl Sulphonyl Fluoride) and EDTA (Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic acid) and the activity of the enzyme was enhanced in presence of Mn2+. There was an observed increase in-vitro Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) and Prothrombin Time (PT) of both time and dose dependent study. Among the four chains of fibrin, the β-chain of fibrin appears to be the primary component and site susceptible for CFR15-protease in early action as indicated by MS/MS analysis of initial degradation products. These results indicated that the CFR15-protease have the potential to be an effective fibrinolytic agent.

description: The aim of the paper is to examine impacts of different rates of direct payments on production structures and farm incomes of Polish family farms after the accession to the EU. Analyses have been made for 2004, the assumed year of accession, with the use of a linear programming farm optimisation model. 15 farm types, further differentiated by soil quality, have been selected for the study. The modelling results show, that depending on the respective policy scenario (i.e. the rate of direct payments) the introduction of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) in Poland may cause some shifts in farm production. Under the conditions of Agenda 2000 and with 25 % of direct payments, as proposed by the European Commission, farm incomes would in 2004 approximately equate the 2001/2002 base level. However, not all types of farms would benefit from the accession.

description: This paper introduces a spatial bioeconomic model for study of potential cellulosic biomass supply at regional scale. By modeling the profitability of alternative crop production practices, it captures the opportunity cost of replacing current crops by cellulosic biomass crops. The model draws upon biophysical crop input-output coefficients, price and cost data, and spatial transportation costs in the context of profit maximization theory. Yields are simulated using temperature, precipitation and soil quality data with various commercial crops and potential new cellulosic biomass crops. Three types of alternative crop management scenarios are simulated by varying crop rotation, fertilization and tillage. The cost of transporting biomass to a specific demand location is obtained using road distances and bulk shipping costs from geographic information systems. The spatial mathematical programming model predicts the supply of biomass and implied environmental consequences for a landscape managed by representative, profit maximizing farmers. The model was applied and validated for simulation of cellulosic biomass supply in a 9-county region of southern Michigan. Results for 74 cropping systems simulated across 39 sub-watersheds show that crop residues are the first types of biomass to be supplied. Corn stover and wheat straw supply start at $21/Mg and $27/Mg delivered prices. Perennial bioenergy crops become profitable to produce when the delivered biomass price reaches $46/Mg for switchgrass, $118/Mg for grass mixes and $154/Mg for Miscanthus giganteus. The predicted effect of the USDA Biomass Conversion Assistance Program is to sharply reduce the minimum biomass price at which miscanthus would become profitable to supply. Compared to conventional crop production practices in the area, the EPIC-simulated environmental outcomes with crop residue removal include increased greenhouse gas emissions and reduced water quality through increased nutrient loss. By contrast, perennial cellulosic biomass crops reduced greenhouse gas emissions and improved water quality compared to current commercial cropping systems.

description: The paper examines to which extent the theory of the farm household and the argument of path dependencies can be confirmed through recent empirical contributions on structural change in agriculture. In addition, a model is developed that explains structural change through occupational choices in favour or against farming. The validity of this model is challenged by empirical results, too. It can be shown that all three theoretical approaches contribute to explaining structural change in agriculture, which results to a coexistence of small and large farms if not hampered by political interference.

description: This paper analyses theoretically the consequences of decoupling and argues for a wider discussion among agricultural economists and the public. Quantitative work on forecasting the consequences seems to be problematic in general. We ask, if the allocation of land will change that dramatically, in particular, we wonder whether setaside will increase that much as some research and statements argue if direct payments are abolished or decoupled from land use. Taking into account economies of scale that can be realised because of faster change in the farming structure, adapted behaviour of farmers due to dramatic changes in the subsidisation scheme, technological progress, and price changes of factors and products in farmers’ benefit we conclude that most quantitative forecasts probably overestimate the changes in land allocation. Social objectives that may be incorporated with agricultural land use are analysed as well as the efficiency of direct payments to achieve these objectives. Distributional effects of income are taken into consideration, too. We recommend that politicians should decide as soon as possible to abolish direct payments stepwise over some years. Farmers should be aware of an end for the direct payments and should keep high flexibility to adapt to the future as easy as possible. Therefore, they should avoid investments with a high portion of sunk costs and they should analyse their capital use, especially on marginal land. Further on, they should try to reduce costs by increasing the size of farms and acres.

description: We present precise moderate deviation probabilities, in both quenched and annealed settings, for a recurrent diffusion process with a Brownian potential. Our method relies on fine tools in stochastic calculus, including Kotani's lemma and Lamperti's representation for exponential functionals. In particular, our result for quenched moderate deviations is in agreement with a recent theorem of Comets and Popov [Probab.

description: This paper reports the discovery of an Algol system KIC 10736223 that just past the rapid mass transfer stage. From the light curve and radial-velocity modelling we find KIC 10736223 to be a detached Algol system with the less-massive secondary nearly filling its Roche lobe. Based on the short-cadence Kepler data, we analyzed intrinsic oscillations of the pulsator and identified six secured independent $δ$ Scuti-type pulsation modes ($f_{1}$, $f_3$, $f_{9}$, $f_{19}$, $f_{42}$, and $f_{48}$). We compute two grids of theoretical models to reproduce the $δ$ Scuti freqiencies, and find fitting results of mass-accreting models meet well with those of single-star evolutionary models. The fundamental parameters of the primary star yielded with asteroseismology are $M$ = $1.57^{+0.05}_{-0.09}$ $M_{\odot}$, $Z$ = 0.009 $\pm$ 0.001, $R$ = $1.484^{+0.016}_{-0.028}$ $R_{\odot}$, $\log g$ = $4.291^{+0.004}_{-0.009}$, $T_{\rm eff}$ = $7748^{+230}_{-378}$ K, $L$ = $7.136^{+1.014}_{-1.519}$ $L_{\odot}$. The asteroseismic parameters match well with the dynamical parameters derived from the binary model. Moreover, our asteroseismic results show that the pulsator is an almost unevolved star with an age between 9.46-11.65 Myr for single-star evolutionary models and 2.67-3.14 Myr for mass-accreting models. Thereofore, KIC 10736223 may be an Algol system that has just undergone the rapid mass-transfer process.

A fast motion estimation algorithm for mobile devices
Creators: name: Lee, Ho-Jae
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: With increasing availability of camera-equipped cellular telephones, the demands for video transmissions over mobile networks are growing significantly. Third generation mobile networks such as lxEV-DO support data rates high enough for transmissions of compressed video, but reducing the power consumption of video compression in mobile devices is an ongoing challenge. The large number of computations required for motion estimation is the main cause for this consumption. In this research, we propose novel spatial and spatial-temporal based motion estimation methods, which sort the sums of absolute difference (SAD) according to specific threshold values to facilitate efficient searches for the local optimal motion vectors. The proposed methods drastically reduce the computation costs of the motion estimation process over the existing techniques. The proposed algorithm using only spatial correlation performs direct subtraction between the current and previous video frames to obtain a difference frame, which is then partitioned into macroblocks of 16x16 (256) pixels with each pixel having 256 grey levels. For each macroblock we compute the SAD by simply adding all grey levels of the 256 pixels. Next, the average and standard deviation of all macroblocks' SADs are calculated and all SADs are sorted in descending order. Based on thresholds calculated from the mean and standard deviation, the sorted SAD values are divided into three groups corresponding to different degrees of motion, and different computationally efficient scanning processes are applied to the respective macroblocks in each group to search for the motion vectors. To further reduce computations, only a subset of each macroblock is scanned. New types of subsets are proposed for this purpose. The proposed algorithm that uses both spatial and temporal correlations is similar to the above algorithm, except that the temporal correlations are taken into consideration in computing the difference frame, since each macroblock is highly correlated to the corresponding macroblock in the previous frame as well as the surrounding macroblocks in the same frame. Performance evaluations showed that, for the same picture quality, the proposed algorithms use only 0.5% of the computations of the full search method and are almost 19 times faster than 4SS, the best presently available conventional method. When compared to the most recently published non-conventional motion estimation method, which outperforms all the existing methods, our approach improves the computational speed by 7.5 times.

description: The short range correlation among the emitted knock on nucleons from heavy ion collisions is used to reveal the dynamic characteristics of the reactions at medium and high energy collisions. Two and three particle correlations are considered in angular space to explain the emission of particles from collectively excited states of the nucleus as a Fermi liquid drop. Positive correlation is detected only among particles emitted in the extreme backward direction which is the coldest domain, and interpreted as direct nonstatistical emission (splashing) of nucleons via the dynamical distortion of the Fermi surface accompanying the collective motion.

description: Against the background of increasing political importance of organic farming combined with market potential for organic food, especially concerning conventional retailers, this article aims to improve organic marketing for retailers by means of product-specific analysis of consumers’ purchase behaviour. The main research aspects based on a consumer survey are preference testing and attitude measuring to explain consumers’ purchase behaviour concerning selected products. The preference test furthermore offered the possibility to examine the impact of substitutes produced by other environmentally friendly production methods and to estimate the market potential for organic food. The findings of this research are firstly hints on market potential for organic food considering the competitive situation under price impact and secondly product-specific approaches to improve retail marketing for organic food, in order to more easily tap the market potential. These are for instance product-specific price differentiation and the reduction of consumers’ insecurity against some environmentally friendly ways of production especially with regard to growing grains or animal husbandry.

description: We present Australia Telescope Compact Array mosaic HI imaging of the Local Group dwarf irregular galaxy WLM. We find an integrated flux of 149 Jy km/s and a total HI mass of 3.2 x 10^7 solar masses. The major axis of the HI is aligned with the stellar component of the galaxy. The overall HI distribution is relatively smooth at our resolution and has a double peaked central core. One of these peaks is aligned with a region found to have extinction that is internal to WLM and we take this as possible evidence of a large molecular gas complex in the southern half of the galaxy. The other HI peak is in close proximity to the brightest HII regions. WLM's overall velocity field is consistent with rigid body rotation. A rotation curve is derived, and we find a total dynamical mass of 3.00 x 10^8 solar masses. We also performed a wide field search, 38 arcminutes in radius, for HI companions or evidence of recent interactions (e.g., tidal tails), and found no detections to an HI mass limit of M_HI > 8.4 x 10^5 solar masses.

Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper studies bifurcations in a three node power system when excitation limits are considered. This is done by approximating the limiter by a smooth function to facilitate bifurcation analysis. Spectacular qualitative changes in the system behavior induced by the limiter are illustrated by two case studies. Period doubling bifurcations and multiple attractors are shown to result due to the limiter. Detailed numerical simulations are presented to verify the results and illustrate the nature of the attractors and solutions involved.

description: The FAL model group combines several market, regional and farm models for comprehensive policy impact assessments. Since 1996, policy impact analyses have been provided at the request of the German Agricultural Ministry with respect to the design of direct payments, the Agenda 2000, the Mid-term Review, the Enlargement of the EU as well as several other policy measures. This article gives an overview of the models available as part of the model group, specifically describes the design of the representative farm group model, and provides results with respect to the impacts of the Midterm Review. The paper ends with a discussion of the experiences gained in model based policy consulting and the implications for future developments.

Impact of Reionization on the Stellar Populations of Nearby Dwarf Galaxies

description: Cold dark matter models for galaxy formation predict that low-mass systems will be the first sites of star formation. As these objects have shallow gravitational potential wells, the subsequent growth of their stellar populations may be halted by heating and gas loss due to reionization. This effect has been suggested to have profoundly influenced properties of present-day dwarf galaxies, including their stellar populations and even survival as visible galaxies. In this Letter we draw on results from quantitative studies of Local Group dwarf galaxy star formation histories, especially for Milky Way satellites, to show that no clear signature exists for a widespread evolutionary impact from reionization. All nearby dwarf galaxies studied in sufficient detail contain ancient populations indistinguishable in age from the oldest Galactic globular clusters. Ancient star formation activity proceeded over several Gyr, and some dwarf spheroidal galaxies even experienced fairly continuous star formation until just a few Gyr ago. Despite their uniformly low masses, their star formation histories differ considerably. The evolutionary histories of nearby dwarf galaxies appear to reflect influences from a variety of local processes rather than a dominant effect from reionization.

Design of a 10 GHz minimum-B quadrupole permanent magnet electron cyclotron resonance ion source

description: This paper presents a simulation study of a permanent magnet electron cyclotron resonance ion source (ECRIS) with a minimum-B quadrupole magnetic field topology. The magnetic field is made to conform to conventional ECRIS with $B_\textrm{min}/B_\textrm{ECR}$ of 0.67 and a last closed magnetic isosurface of 1.86$B_\textrm{ECR}$ at 10 GHz. The distribution of magnetic field gradients parallel to the field, affecting the electron heating efficiency, cover a range from 0 to 13 T/m, being similar to conventional ECRIS. Therefore it is expected that the novel ion source produces warm electrons and high charge state ions in significant number. Single electron tracking simulations are used to estimate plasma flux distribution on the plasma chamber walls and to provide an estimate of the ion density profile at the extraction slit then used in ion optical simulations demonstrating high transmission through the low energy beam transport. The designed ion source is intended to study if the quadrupole field topology could produce high charge state beams in comparable intensities to conventional ECRIS and efficiently transport them through a low energy beamline, thus paving the way for a superconducting ARC-ECRIS using the same field topology. Furthermore, the prospects of the presented ion source design as an injector of a single-ended accelerator for ion beam analysis are discussed.
Voltage-controlled coded qubit based on electron spin

description: We design and analyze a solid state qubit based on electron spin and controlled by electrical means. The coded qubit is composed of a three-electron complex in three tunable gated quantum dots. The two logical states of a qubit, |0L> and |1L>, reside in a degenerate subspace of total spin S=1/2 states. We demonstrate how applying voltages to specific gates changes the one-electron properties of the structure, and show how electron-electron interaction translates these changes into the manipulation of the two lowest energy states of the three-electron complex.

The Crab Nebula and Pulsar between 500 GeV and 80 TeV: Observations with the HEGRA stereoscopic air Cherenkov telescopes
Creators: name: al., F. Aharonian et
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Crab supernova remnant has been observed regularly with the stereoscopic system of 5 imaging air Cherenkov telescopes that was part of the High Energy Gamma Ray Astronomy (HEGRA) experiment. In total, close to 400 hours of useful data have been collected from 1997 until 2002. The spectrum extends up to energies of 80 TeV and is well matched by model calculations in the framework of inverse Compton scattering of various seed photons in the nebula including for the first time a recently detected compact emission region at mm-wavelengths. The observed indications for a gradual steepening of the energy spectrum in data is expected in the inverse Compton emission model.The average magnetic field in the emitting volume is determined to be $(161.6\pm0.8mathrm{stat}\pm18_\mathrm{sys}) μ$G. The presence of protons in the nebula is not required to explain the observed flux and upper limits on the injected power of protons are calculated being as low as 20 % of the total spin down luminosity for bulk Lorentz factors of the wind in the range of $10^4-10^6$.The position and size of the emission region have been studied over a wide range of energies. The position is shifted by 13\arcsec to the west of the pulsar with a systematic uncertainty of 25\arcsec. No significant shift in the position with energy is observed. The size of the emission region is constrained to be less than 2\arcmin at energies between 1 and 10 TeV. Above 30 TeV the size is constrained to be less than 3\arcmin.No indications for pulsed emission has been found and upper limits in differential bins of energy have been calculated reaching typically 1-3 % of the unpulsed component.
