description: MORPHOLOGY OF THE MANDIBULAE OF THE LARVAE IN SOME SPECIES OF THE
 SUBFF. Laccophilinae AND Hydroporinae. SOME HYPOTHESIS ABOUT THE MORPHOGENETIC ORIGIN OF THEIR MANDIBULAR P A TTERNS.

Some other data are collected for an interpretation of the functional and phylogenetic meaning of the different mandibular patterns within the Ditiscid larvae.

Three species of the genus Laccophilus (testaceus Aubè, minutus L. and variegatus Germ.) are taken into consideration for the subf. Laccophilinae. Their mandibulae belong to an unic pattern (fig. l) that is similar - on the basis of the most evident characteristics - to the pattern of Rhantus bistriatus Bergstr. (subf. Colymbetinae) (fig. 7). But on a more detailed inspection, the latter shows a more primitive feature. Then, some questions arise: may the Laccophilus pattern have its origin in the pattern of Rhantus? Or, in other words: is the pattern of the Laccophilus a branch of the main evolutive succession of the mandibular patterns discovered within the subf. Colymbetinae (DE MARZO , 1976 b , fig. 11 )? Have - on the contrary - the two patterns an indipendent origin? Is their likeness only an adaptative convergence?

Nelle larve del genere Laccophilus (testaceus, minutus e variegatus) si è riscontrato un unico modello di mandibola, che nell'aspetto d'insieme so- miglia ad uno dei modelli precedentemente osservati nella subf. Colymbetinae e cioè quello di Rhantus bistriatus. L'esame dei dettagli mostra, però, che il modello dei Laccophilus è nettamente più complesso di quello del Rhantus. Si discute, allora, sulla possibilità che il primo modello derivi dal secondo at- traverso successive modificazioni morfogenetiche o che i due modelli si siano realizzati secondo linee evolutive indipendenti e si somiglino, perciò, soltanto per un fenomeno di convergenza adattativa. La presenza di pubescenza sul mar- gine ventrale dell'orifizio anteriore viene considerata un dato di fatto a sostegno della prima possibilità. Si trae da ciò un'ipotesi di lavoro, secondo la quale nel vasto genere Laccophilus non devono potersi trovare modelli di mandibola meno evoluti del modello di Rhantus bistriatus.

description: Natural killer (NK) cells are key players in the innate immune response. They kill virus-infected cells and are crucial for the induction of adaptive immune responses. Marek’s disease virus (MDV) is a highly contagious alphaherpesvirus that causes deadly T cell lymphomas in chickens. Host resistance to MDV is associated with differences in NK cell responses; however, the exact role of NK cells in the control of MDV remains unknown. In this study, we assessed if MDV can infect NK cells and alter their activation. Surprisingly, we could demonstrate that primary chicken NK cells are very efficiently infected with very virulent RB-1B MDV and the live-attenuated CVI988 vaccine. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that both RB-1B and CVI988 enhance NK cell degranulation and increase interferon gamma (IFNγ) production in vitro. In addition, we could show that the MDV Eco Q-encoded oncogene (meq) contributes to the induction of NK cell activation using meq knockout viruses. Taken together, our data revealed for the first time that NK cells are efficiently infectable with MDV and that this oncogenic alphaherpesvirus enhances NK cell degranulation and increased IFNγ production in vitro.

description: Although traffic is already regulated by numerous laws and social conventions, there are still situations where the right-of-way is not evidend. In such cases, participants must coordinate and communicate with each other. In future autonomous mixed traffic, communication will no longer occur exclusively between humans but will also include autonomous vehicles, creating more confusion about how to communicate. To investigate a communication method, a study was conducted where a cyan-colored signal light was used as a human-machine interface for communication in a deadlock situation. This signal light is intended not only to indicate the autonomous driving status but also to convey the vehicle's intention to waive the right-of-way. Various lighting functions were examined to indicate the intention of the vehicle, including both existing and novel concepts that could be proposed for integration into road traffic. The results of the study will be presented in the paper and the presentation.

description: The volume-regulated anion channel (VRAC) plays an important role in osmotic cell volume regulation. In addition, it is involved in various physiological processes such as insulin secretion, glia-neuron communication and purinergic signaling. VRAC is formed by hetero-hexamers of members of the LRRC8 protein family, which consists of five members, LRRC8A-E. LRRC8A is an essential subunit for physiological functionality of VRAC. Its obligate heteromerization with at least one of its paralogues, LRRC8B-E, determines the biophysical properties of VRAC. Moreover, the subunit composition is of physiological relevance as it largely influences the activation mechanism and especially the substrate selectivity. However, the endogenous tissue-specific subunit composition of VRAC is unknown. We have now developed and applied a quantitative immunoblot study of the five VRAC LRRC8 subunits in various mouse cell lines and tissues, using recombinant protein for signal calibration. We found tissue-specific expression patterns of the subunits, and generally relative low expression of the essential LRRC8A subunit. Immunoprecipitation of LRRC8A also co-precipitates an excess of the other subunits, suggesting that non-LRRC8A subunits present the majority in hetero-hexamers. With this, we can estimate that in the tested cell lines, the number of VRAC channels per cell is in the order of 10,000, which is in agreement with earlier calculations from the comparison of single-channel and whole-cell currents.

Macedonian Oak, a typical species of Mediterranean basin, which grows in Italy only m Apulia, is periodicaHy attacked by larvae of P. dispar L. Field trials were carried out in 1977 with pathogens on 2nd_Jih instars of P. dispar. The pathogens tested were: Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki ser. 3a 3b (4X106 viable spores/mg c.p.) 100, 200, 400 gr c.p./hl and the N.P.V. Borrelinavirus reprimens (3X10l2 PIB/gr) 50, 100 gr a.p./hl. 50 larvae of P. dispar were placed in polyethylene gauze bags on 1,5 m long branches and were sprayed with different concentrations of the pathogens.

B. thuringiensis gave good contrai also at the lowest concentration (100 gr c.p.). The residua! effect lasted 6 dayes after application. On the contrary the B. reprimens did not supply good results .

A Mermithidae nematode of the gen. Agamermis has been found for the first time in West Europe into larvae of P. dispar.

I boschetti di fragno (Quercus troiana Webb.) specie arborea carattenstlca del Bacino mediterraneo e presente .in Italia nella sola Puglia, subiscono periodiche defogliazioni ad opera della Porthetria (Lymantria) dispar (Lepidottero: Lymantriidae).

Prove di .Jotta furono effettuate nel 1977 con microo~ganismi patogeni contro le ·larve della 2"-3• età di questo lepidottero. I microarganismi utilizzati furono: Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki sier. Illa, Illb (4X106 spore vitali/mg .p.c.) alle concentrazioni di 100, 200 e 400 gr p.c./hl ed il virus nucleare poliedrico Borrelinavirus reprimens (3X1012 J?Oliedri virali/gr) aUe concentrazioni di 50 e 100 gr di p.a./hl.

I trattamenti furono realizzati su branche di 1,5 m, private preventivamente delle larve del lepidottero, su cui erano state collocate 50 larve in sacchetti di poliestere ·a trama fitta.

Furono effettuate tre ripetizioni per ciascuna concentrazione del prodotto.

Il B. thuringiensis evidenziò una buona capacità di controllo delle larve di 2•-3• età anche alla concentrazione più bassa (100 gr) ed ii suo effetto residuo perdurò anche dopo 6 giorni dal trattamento.

I risultati ottenuti con il virus non furono molto soddisfacenti.

Tra i parassiti delle larve olt·re ad un Apanteles (Imenottero, Braconide) ed un Nosema (Protozoo), fu riscontrata la presenza di un Nematode Mermitide del gen. Agamermis.

description: We investigate barrier-crossing processes corresponding to collective hydrogen-bond rearrangements in liquid water using Markov state modeling techniques. The analysis is based on trajectories from classical molecular dynamics simulations and accounts for the full dynamics of relative angular and separation coordinates of water clusters and requires no predefined hydrogen bond criterium. We account for the complete 12-dimensional conformational subspace of three water molecules and distinguish five well-separated slow dynamic processes with relaxation times in the picosecond range, followed by a quasi-continuum spectrum of faster modes. By analysis of the Markov eigenstates, these processes are shown to correspond to different collective interchanges of hydrogen-bond donors and acceptors. Using a projection onto hydrogen-bond states, we also analyze the switching of one hydrogen bond between two acceptor water molecules and derive the complete transition network. The most probable pathway corresponds to a direct switch without an intermediate, in agreement with previous studies. However, a considerable fraction of paths proceeds along alternative routes that involve different intermediate states with short-lived alternative hydrogen bonds or weakly bound states.
title: A study of the politico-economic conditions and administrative structure of the Meccan Emirate during the Burji Period (784-923 a.h./1382-1517 a.d.).
Creators: name: Siddiqi, Mohammed S.A.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London

description: Paradoxically, the religio-commercial importance of the Meccan region turned out to be little in favour and more against the interest of the Sharifs of Mecca. They had long been compelled to acknowledge the sovereignty of various rulers and during the Burji period have also forfeited Much of the their revenue as well as their control of the administration. The present study deals with various aspects associated with the history of Mecca and shows the effect of the manifold grip of the Burji Sultans. The first two chapters concentrates on the manifestation of political activities of local Ashraf. The dependencies of Mecca have also been examined with particular reference to the elevation of certain Sharifs to the exalted position of Na'ib al-Sultan in the Hijaz and the nature of relationship between the Sharifs of Mecca and non Egyptian Sultans. Chapters III-VII of this thesis discusses the general economic condition and various sources of income and expenditures of the Sharifs of Mecca are examined. The survey reveals that the Sharifs obtained a considerable amount of money from tolls, custom dues and other sources not related to trade. These various financial gains of the Sharifs diminished greatly after 828/1425 in consequence of the diversion of most of the revenue to Cairo by the Egyptian Sultans. Their other direct or indirect exploitation had a very detrimental effect on the general prosperity of the region. The last three chapters are devoted to treat issues relevant to local administration. It shows that almost entire administration was controlled by the Sharifi officials until 828/1425. From that year onwards their authority dwindled and the Sultani officials acquired ever increasing influence and dominance. The simultaneous functioning of these two groups of officials caused occasional friction which were usually resolved in favour of the Sultani officials.

title: The role of the Zamindars in Bengal (1707-1772).
Creators: name: Akhtar, Shirin
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1973

description: This work is a study of the different roles of the zamindars in Bengal during the period 1707-1772., It reviews the operational aspects of the revenue, military, police and judicial administration of the Mughals in the province of Bengal and examines how the zamindars fitted into that structure and discharged their duties. The key issues and approaches have been studied against the background of (i) the Mughal political system at the zenith of its power, (ii) the declining days of the imperial authority when virtually an autonomous Nawabi was established in the province, and (iii) the emergence of the East India Company as a political force. The opening chapter deals with the peripheral aspects of the zamindari system which have some bearings on the role of the zamindars. It also attempts at a classification for better understanding of the institution as well as judging one category of zamindars against others of the same genre. Chapter II analyses the genesis of the zamindaris and the mobility within the traditional pattern of the zamindar class as a result of some historical forces at work. Chapter III dwells on the revenue management, which also embraces some allied responsibilities, such as the development of agriculture, reclamation of the waste lands and the maintenance of the roads, bridges and embankments. In Chapter IV, the military obligations of the zamindars with their attendant implications are discussed and the roles of the zamindars are evaluated in this context. Chapter V is devoted to the question of enforcing law and order in the territories of the zamindars and the role of the zamindars as the custodian of peace. The issue involved in enforcing law and order in turn prompts inquiries into the right to administer justice granted to the zamindars. Chapter VI is addressed to this problem and examines further the impact of the role of the zamindars as judge-magistrate on their subjects.

description: Spin-polarized normal-metal wires coupled to a superconductor can host Majorana states at their ends. These decay into the bulk and are protected by a minigap in the spectrum. Previous studies have found that strong coupling between the superconductor and the normal-metal wire renormalizes the properties of this low-energy phase. Here, we develop a semiclassical scattering approach to explain these renormalization effects. We show that a renormalization of the propagation velocity in the normal wire originates from double Andreev reflection processes at the superconductor interface and that it continues to exist in the absence of a proximity-induced minigap in the normal-metal wire. We also show that the renormalization effects exist for arbitrary transparency of the normal-metal–superconductor interface, provided the superconductor coherence length is sufficiently long in comparison to the thickness of the normal metal.

description: Elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus (EEHV) can cause a devastating haemorrhagic disease in young Asian elephants worldwide. Here, we report the death of two young Asian elephants after suffering from acute haemorrhagic disease due to EEHV-1A infection. We detected widespread distribution of EEHV-1A in various organs and tissues of the infected elephants. Enveloped viral particles accumulated within and around cytoplasmic electron-dense bodies in hepatic endothelial cells were detected. Attempts to isolate the virus on different cell cultures showed limited virus replication; however, late viral protein expression was detected in infected cells. We further showed that glycoprotein B (gB) of EEHV-1A possesses a conserved cleavage site Arg-X-Lys/Arg-Arg that is targeted by the cellular protease furin, similar to other members of the Herpesviridae. We have determined the complete 180 kb genome sequence of EEHV-1A isolated from the liver by next-generation sequencing and de novo assembly. As virus isolation in vitro has been unsuccessful and limited information is available regarding the function of viral proteins, we have attempted to take the initial steps in the development of suitable cell culture system and virus characterization. In addition, the complete genome sequence of an EEHV-1A in Europe will facilitate future studies on the epidemiology and diagnosis of EEHV infection in elephants.
title: Presupposition and the delimitation of semantics.
Creators: name: Kempson, Ruth M.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1973

description: The thesis is divided into three sections. In the first, I present the general theoretical framework within which the arguments of the thesis are considered. This framework contains an interpretive semantic component (in the sense of Katz 1966a, 1972, Bierwisch 1969, 1971) and the formalism assumed is that of Bierwisch. I argue however that this formalism in effect constitutes a statement of the necessary and sufficient truth conditions on the sentences of a language and that this is the correct basis for natural-language semantics. This hypothesis appears to be threatened by the concept of presupposition. In the second section, I therefore discuss two separate concepts of presupposition and consider the issues both raise for natural-language semantics. In brief, I argue (chapter 4) that to incorporate a concept of presupposition defined in terms of speakers' belief has consequences which necessitate its exclusion by fiat from a formal linguistic theory. Furthermore I argue (chapters 4-5) that a logically defined concept of presupposition refers to an empty set of sentences, since every postulated presupposition is in fact an example of an entailment relation. So I conclude that neither definition of presupposition should be part of natural-language semantics. Accordingly the semantic framework set up in the first part remains at present unfalsified. However in addition to such a semantics, in the final section I set up a theory of pragmatics (along lines suggested by Grice, 1957, 1961, 1968, 1969) to explain those aspects of sentences which are not captured by a truth-conditional (but non-presuppositional) semantics. In over-all terms, my aim is two-fold: (i) to justify in some detail the formal properties of an interpretive semantic component (based on a non-presuppositional logic); and (ii) to suggest a tentative specification of a pragmatic theory as part of some more general theory of performance.

description: Background In Europe, canine babesiosis is most frequently caused by Babesia canis and Babesia vogeli, and occasionally by Babesia gibsoni.. In Germany, B. canis is recognized as endemic. The aims of this study were to assess how often Babesia spp. infections were diagnosed in a commercial laboratory in samples from dogs from Germany, and to evaluate potential risk factors for infection. Methods The database of the LABOKLIN laboratory was screened for Babesia spp.-positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests for dogs for the period January 2007–December 2020. Sequencing was performed for positive tests from 2018 and 2019. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the effects of sex, season, and year of testing. Questionnaires were sent to the submitting veterinarians to obtain information on travel abroad, tick infestation, and ectoparasite prophylaxis of the respective dogs. Fisher’s exact test was used to calculate statistical significance and P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results In total, 659 out of 20,914 dogs (3.2%) tested positive for Babesia spp. by PCR. Of 172 sequenced samples, B. canis was identified in 156, B. vogeli in nine, B. gibsoni in five, and B. vulpes in two. Season had a statistically significant impact on test results when summer/winter (1.6% tested positive) was compared to spring/autumn (4.7%), with peaks in April (5.2%) and October (7.4%) [P < 0.001, odds ratio (OR) = 3.16]. Sex (male 3.5%, female 2.8%; P = 0.012, OR = 1.49) and age (< 7 years old 4.0%, ≥ 7 years old 2.3%; P < 0.001, OR = 1.76) of the tested dogs also had a statistically significant effect. A statistically significant impact was demonstrated for observed tick attachment (P < 0.001, OR = 7.62) and lack of ectoparasite prophylaxis (P = 0.001, OR = 3.03). The frequency of positive Babesia spp. tests did not significantly differ between the 659 dogs that had never left Germany and the 1506 dogs with known stays abroad (P = 0.088). Conclusions The possibility of canine infection with B. canis needs to be especially taken into consideration in spring and autumn in Germany as the activity of the tick Dermacentor reticulatus, a potential vector for canine babesiosis, is highest in these seasons. Travel and importation of dogs are considered major factors associated with canine babesiosis in Germany. However, autochthonous Babesia spp. infections also occur in a considerable number of dogs in Germany.

title: Various approaches for S.Y. Agnon's stories: Agnon interpretations.
Creators: name: Bar-Haim, Tala
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1973

description: This thesis is about the ways in which the works of the Hebrew writer S.Y. Agnon (a winner of the Nobel Prize for literature) have been or may be interpreted. Seven of Agnon's stories (Ha-Adonit veha-Rokhel, Agadat ha-Sofer, Hupat Dodim, Bi-demi Yameha, Shevu'at Emunim, Edo ve-Einara and Temol Shilshom), the summaries of which are given in Chapter 2, have been examined closely both in their content and in their interpretation. These interpretations have been divided into five aspects, appearing in Chapter 3, and are as follows: Jewish religion and tradition; historical and social changes; psychology; mythos and poetry; and symbolism. An evaluation and criticism has been made of nine of Agnon's interpreters: Y. Bahat, A.J. Band, B. Hochman, B. Kurzweil, S.Y. Penueli, D. Sadan, D. Stern, M. Tochner, and E. Zoref. In the second part of the thesis there are some comparisons of the texts of the seven stories with some of Robert Graves's mythological theories as they appear in his books 'The White Goddess' and 'The Greek Myths'. The subjects for the comparisons are: The God of the Year; the Myth of the Twins; and Various Aspects of the Great Goddess. The purpose of this part of the work is to propose a new approach to the interpretation of Agnon, based on his instinctive inclination towards Nature religion and the Mother Goddess. Finally there is a list of abbreviations and a general bibliography of works on Agnon.

description: The Landauer-Büttiker theory of mesoscopic conductors was recently extended to nanoelectromechanical systems. In this extension, the adiabatic reaction forces exerted by the electronic degrees of freedom on the mechanical modes were expressed in terms of the electronic S matrix and its first nonadiabatic correction, the A matrix. Here, we provide a more natural and efficient derivation of these results within the setting and solely with the methods of scattering theory. Our derivation is based on a generic model of a slow classical degree of freedom coupled to a quantum-mechanical scattering system, extending previous work on adiabatic reaction forces for closed quantum systems.

description: There are few linguistic phenomena that have seduced linguists so skillfully as grammatical case has done. Ever since Panini (4th Century BC), case has claimed a central role in linguistic theory and continues to do so today. However, despite centuries worth of research, case has yet to reveal its most important secrets. This book offers breakthrough explanations for the understanding of case through agent-based experiments in cultural language evolution. The experiments demonstrate that case systems may emerge because they have a selective advantage for communication: they reduce the cognitive effort that listeners need for semantic interpretation, while at the same time limiting the cognitive resources required for doing so.

description: Segmenting dance video into short movements is a popular way to easily understand dance choreography. However, it is currently done manually and requires a significant amount of effort by experts. That is, even if many dance videos are available on social media (e.g., TikTok and YouTube), it remains difficult for people, especially novices, to casually watch short video segments to practice dance choreography. In this paper, we propose a method to automatically segment a dance video into each movement. Given a dance video as input, we first extract visual and audio features: the former is computed from the keypoints of the dancer in the video, and the latter is computed from the Mel spectrogram of the music in the video. Next, these features are passed to a Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN), and segmentation points are estimated by picking peaks of the network output. To build our training dataset, we annotate segmentation points to dance videos in the AIST Dance Video Database, which is a shared database containing original street dance videos with copyright-cleared dance music. The evaluation study shows that the proposed method (i.e., combining the visual and audio features) can estimate segmentation points with high accuracy. In addition, we developed an application to help dancers practice choreography using the proposed method.

description: We focus on a mixed deterministic-stochastic subgrid scale modelling strategy currently under development for application in Finite Volume Large Eddy Simulation (LES) codes. Our concept is based on the integral conservation laws for mass, momentum and energy of a flow field. We model the space-time structure of the flux correction terms to create a discrete formulation. Advanced methods of time series analysis for the data-based construction of stochastic models with inherently non-stationary statistical properties and concepts of information theory based on a modified Akaike information criterion and on the Bayesian information criterion for the model discrimination are used to construct surrogate models for the non-resolved flux fluctuations. Vector-valued auto-regressive models with external influences form the basis for the modelling approach. The reconstruction capabilities of the modelling ansatz are tested against fully 3D turbulent channel flow data computed by direct numerical simulation and, in addition, against a turbulent Taylor-Green vortex flow showing a transition from laminar to a turbulent flow state. The modelling approach for the LES closure is different in both test cases. In the channel flow we consider an implicit LES ansatz. In the Taylor-Green vortex flow, it follows an explicit closure approach. We present here the outcome of our reconstruction tests and show specific results of the non-trivial time series data analysis. Started with a generally stochastic ansatz we found, surprisingly, that the deterministic model part already yields small residuals and is, therefore, good enough to fit the flux correction terms well. In the Taylor-Green vortex flow, we found additionally time-dependent features confirming that our modelling approach is capable of detecting changes in the temporal structure of the flow. The results encourage us to launch a more ambitious attempt at dynamic LES closure along these lines.

Don Quijote: from the Prose of Cervantes to Contemporary Theatre
Creators: name: Orazi, Veronica
Publisher: name: Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia

description:

Study of six of the most recent and outstanding dramatisations (1999-2015) of Cervantes’s Don Quijote, such as Aventuras de Don Quijote, DQ. Don Quijote en Barcelona, El caballero de la triste figura, En un lugar de Manhattan, Elogio de la locura and En un lugar del Quijote. The analysis covers the main features of such adaptations: metanarration, metadrama, doubling of the narrative structure using other artistic languages (music, plastic arts, dance, etc.), new technologies, genre hybridisation, transmediality, etc. The original text message, actualised and re-expressed by these modernisations, stands out as an atemporal one: the plays examined demonstrate its effectiveness in contemporary society and, according to the perspective of social theater, stimulate the reflection on them.
