Role of sarcoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria in Ca2+ signaling in vascular smooth muscle
Creators: name: Szado, Tania
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Superficial sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) regulates smooth muscle force development directly and indirectly. In the rabbit basilar artery (BA), relative contributions of direct effects and those mediated through activation of Kca were evaluated by measuring force and intracellular Ca²⁺ concentration ([Ca²⁺]j) in response to the SR-depleting agents thapsigargin (Tg) and ryanodine and the large conductance Kca (BKca) blockers iberiotoxin (IbTx) and tetraethylammonium ion (TEA). It appears that a significant fraction of Kca remains activated in the absence of SR function and that SR contributes to relaxation after blockade of Kca . We found that depletion of SR before stimulating Ca²⁺ influx through voltage-gated Ca²⁺channels markedly reduced force development rate and that thapsigargin abolished this effect. We conclude that the SR of rabbit cerebral arteries modulates constriction by direct and indirect mechanisms. Next, we investigated the role of mitochondria (MT) in calcium signaling in a primary culture of rat aortic smooth muscle cells. We have used the calcium photoprotein, aequorin, selectively targeted to the mitochondrial matrix to measure [Ca²⁺] in this organelle. Our results reveal that smooth muscle cell stimulation with 1 mM ATP or 1 uM vasopressin (AVP) causes a large, transient increase in mitochondrial [Ca ] ([Ca²⁺][sub m]). This large transient can be'blocked with 100 μM cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) or 1 uM Tg, suggesting a close relationship between the SR and MT. Thus, in addition to SR, MT are also important in Ca²⁺ homeostasis of smooth muscle. Finally, gene expression studies using RT-PCR were performed in 3 types of smooth muscle; rabbit BA, inferior vena cava (IVC), and a rat aortic smooth muscle cell (RASMC) line. Expression of BKca channels, and VGCC differed between rabbit BA and IVC, and was compared to functional data using various inhibitors. Taken together, this data suggests an association of RyR to BKca in BA, and store-operated Ca²⁺ channels and IP3 in IVC. We hypothesize that SR and MT interactions with channels and pumps on the PM, and with each other, are critical in the formation of cytoplasmic Ca²⁺ microdomains, contributing to the diversity of Ca signaling in different smooth muscles.

description: Since the 1920's, the federal government has used an array of farm programs to provide a “safety net” for American agriculture. Farm programs have used price supports, disaster payments, income supports, direct payments, and supply management to provide a safety net for particular markets and producers. This array of farm programs has rarely been organized or managed with the sole purpose of providing a minimum income level to farmers. With the exception of set aside programs, the programs have provided incentives for production and the diversification of production through out the continental United States. While the FAIR Act of 1996 has been generously applauded for allowing producers planting flexibility, maintaining export competitiveness through marketing loan programs, and maintaining production, the Act has been criticized for its lack of a sufficient safety net. All crop insurance programs and marketing loan provisions may be considered safety nets. However, the ad hoc passage of emergency relief in each of the last three years 1998-2000 suggests that these programs have not provided sufficient support to program crop agriculture. The safety net issue, therefore, will likely be a major source of debate in crafting the next farm bill. Can the U.S. government reduce the liquidity problem facing major crop agriculture while pressing the popular provisions of the FAIR Act? Developing a whole farm safety net proposal is one alternative being studied.
Application of Nonlinear Conductivity Spectroscopy to Ion Transport in Solid Electrolytes

description: The field-dependent ion transport in thin samples of different glasses is characterised by means of nonlinear conductivity spectroscopy. AC electric fields with strengths up to 77 kV/cm are applied to the samples, and the Fourier components of the current spectra are analysed. In the dc conductivity regime and in the transition region to the dispersive conductivity, higher harmonics in the current spectra are detected, which provide information about higher--order conductivity coefficients. Our method ensures that these higher--order conductivity coefficients are exclusively governed by field--dependent ion transport and are not influenced by Joule heating effects. We use the low-field dc conductivity $σ_{1,dc}$ and the higher--order dc conductivity coefficient $σ_{3,dc}$ to calculate apparent jump distances for the mobile ions, $a_{\rm app}$. Over a temperature range from 283 K to 353 K, we obtain values for $a_{app}$ between 39 Å$ $ and 55 Å. For all glasses, we find a weak decrease of $a_{\rm app}$ with increasing temperature. Remarkably, the apparent jump distances calculated from our data are considerably larger than typical values published in the literature for various ion conducting glasses. These values were obtained by applying dc electric fields. Our results provide clear evidence that the equation used in the literature to calculate the apparent jump distances does not provide an adequate physical description of field-dependent ion transport.

description: For the last three years, U.S. cotton producers have been heavily dependent on ad hoc emergency disaster and market loss assistance to cash flow their operations. They have not been alone. Wheat, feed grains, oilseeds and rice producers have also been faced with low commodity prices, adverse weather and the need for substantial government assistance. Price support and direct payments by CCC for fiscal years 1998-2000 averaged $17.5 billion per year (USDA Ag Outlook). Has U.S. program crop agriculture turned the corner or will additional government payments likely be needed to sustain a vulnerable sector? This paper will focus on the outlook for the Agricultural and Food Policy Center’s (AFPC’s) representative cotton farms over the period 2001-2005. The results reported herein are drawn from AFPC Working Paper 00-4 which goes into greater depth on all 82 representative farms and ranches modeled by AFPC.

description: (Abridged) The spatial distribution of the Galactic satellite system plays an important role in Galactic dynamics and cosmology, where its successful reproduction is a key test of simulations of galaxy halo formation. Here, we examine its representative nature by conducting an analysis of the 3-dimensional spatial distribution of the M31 subgroup of galaxies. We begin by a discussion of distance estimates and incompleteness concerns, before revisiting the question of membership of the M31 subgroup. Comparison of the distribution of M31 and Galactic satellites relative to the galactic disks suggests that the Galactic system is probably modestly incomplete at low latitudes by ~20%. We find that the radial distribution of satellites around M31 is more extended than the Galactic subgroup; 50% of the Galactic satellites are found within ~100kpc of the Galaxy, compared to ~200kpc for M31. We search for ``ghostly streams'' of satellites around M31, in the same way others have done for the Galaxy, and find several. The lack of M31-centric kinematic data, however, means we are unable to probe whether these streams represent real physical associations. Finally, we find that the M31 satellites are asymmetrically distributed with respect to our line-of-sight to this object, so that the majority of its satellites are on its near side with respect to our line-of-sight. We quantify this result and find it to be significant at the ~3 sigma level. Until such time as a satisfactory explanation for this finding is presented, our results warn against treating the M31 subgroup as complete, unbiased and relaxed.

description: We present the results of new radio observations carried out with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array C-configuration at 5.5 GHz for a sample of southern narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s). This work increases the number of known radio-detected NLS1s in the southern hemisphere, and confirms that the radio emission of NLS1s is mainly concentrated in a central region at kpc-scale and only a few sources show diffuse emission. In radio-quiet NLS1s, the radio luminosity tends to be higher in steep-spectrum sources and be lower in flat-spectrum sources, which is opposite to radio-loud NLS1s. This may be because the radio emission of steep NLS1s is dominated by misaligned jets, AGN-driven outflows, or star formation superposing on a compact core. Instead the radio emission of flat NLS1s may be produced by a central core which has not yet developed radio jets and outflows. We discover new NLS1s harboring kpc-scale radio jets and confirm that a powerful jet does not require a large-mass black hole to be generated. We also find sources dominated by star formation. These NLS1s could be new candidates in investigating the radio emission of different mechanisms.

description: As Congress begins its debate for the 2002 farm bill, there have been calls for a counter cyclical safety net that will provide a better basis for targeting longer term planning than exists with ad hoc emergency assistance. Further subsidization of the multi-peril crop insurance (MPCI) program has been proposed, as well as reliance on a farm and ranch risk management (FARRM) account to help farmers. A whole farm revenue income support program and several variations of national income supplement programs have been put forward. A comprehensive analysis of different safety net alternatives using a common methodology is needed so farmers and policy makers can make objective comparisons. The objective of this paper is to quantitatively analyze the economic effects of alternative safety net/insurance programs on farmers in the Southern United States. The objective is accomplished by simulating representative crop farms in the South over the 2001-2005 planning horizon for alternative safety net options. The simulated net present value distributions for the farms are compared using certainty equivalents to determine the value of alternative safety net options to feed grain, cotton and rice farms in the South.

description: The c-map relates classical hypermultiplet moduli spaces in compactifications of type II strings on a Calabi-Yau threefold to vector multiplet moduli spaces via a further compactification on a circle. We give an off-shell description of the c-map in N=2 superspace. The superspace Lagrangian for the hypermultiplets is a single function directly related to the prepotential of special geometry, and can therefore be computed using topological string theory. Similarly, a class of higher derivative terms for hypermultiplets can be computed from the higher genus topological string amplitudes. Our results provide a framework for studying quantum corrections to the hypermultiplet moduli space, as well as for understanding the black hole wave-function as a function of the hypermultiplet moduli.

description: Members of the House Agriculture Committee have indicated an interest in rewriting the farm bill in 2001 (The Food and Fiber Letter). Pressure to rewrite the farm bill a year before it expires comes in part from the perception that the current farm bill does not provide adequate downside protection for farm income. A symptom of this problem is the fact that Congress has passed substantial assistance packages to supplement farmers’ incomes in each of the past three years.

description: Lockdown procedures have been proven successful in mitigating the spread of the viruses in this COVID-19 pandemic, but they also have devastating impact on the economy. We use a modified Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered-Deceased model with time dependent infection rate to simulate how the infection is spread under lockdown. The economic cost due to the loss of workforce and incurred medical expenses is evaluated with a simple model. We find the best strategy, meaning the smallest economic cost for the entire course of the pandemic, is to keep the strict lockdown as long as possible.

description: The farm level economic impacts of projected long term prices under the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (FAIR) on representative crop and livestock operations are projected in this report. For this report the FAIR Act will be referred to as the 1996 Farm Bill. The analysis was conducted over the 1996-2005 planning horizon using FLIPSIM, AFPC’s whole farm simulation model. Data to simulate farming operations in the nation’s major production regions came from two sources: - Producer panel cooperation to develop economic information to describe and simulate representative crop, livestock, and dairy farms. - Projected prices, policy variables, and input inflation rates from the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) January 2001 Baseline. The primary objective of the analysis is to determine the farms’ economic viability by region and commodity throughout the life of the 1996 Farm Bill and beyond.

description: We combine econometric and financial analyses of the NAHMS 2000 Swine Survey data to examine whether evidence exists for reducing risk by using antibiotics for growth promotion (AGP) in the U.S. swine industry. A stochastic dominance analysis of alternative lengths of time (days) of AGP application reveals that AGP used in the range of 65—75 days is preferred by risk-averse producers. Risk is reduced and profits are increased from use of AGP. The combined impacts of increased average daily gain and decreased variability in pig live weight increase producer profits by $2.99 per pig marketed.

description: The farm-level financial outlook for representative Mexican hog operations is projected in this report. The primary objective of this analysis is to determine the economic viability of Mexican hog farms by region and production system over the 1995-2004 planning horizon. The Agricultural and Food Policy Center’s (AFPC) whole farm simulation model (FLIPSIM) and FAPRI’s sector level price projections were used. The FLIPSIM model incorporates historical production, economic and financial data to project future economic and financial performance of representative agricultural firms over a given planning horizon (Richardson and Nixon, 1985).

It is found that for every $K \in Λ,$ the number $N(K, z)$ of eigenvalues of ${\bf H}(K)$ lying on the left of $z,$ $z<0,$ satisfies the asymptotic relation $\lim\limits_{z \to -0} N(K, z) |\log|z||^{-1}={\mathcal U}_0$ with $0

description: We study inhomogeneous states in the t-J model using an unrestricted Gutzwiller approximation. We find that $pa\times pa$ checkerboard order, where $p$ is a doping dependent number, emerges from Fermi surface instabilities of both the staggered flux phase and the Fermi liquid state with realistic band parameters. In both cases, the checkerboard order develops at wave vectors $(\pm 2π/pa,0)$, $(0,\pm2π/pa)$ that are tied to the peaks of the wave-vector dependent susceptibility, and is of the Lomer-Rice-Scott type. The properties of such periodic, inhomogeneous states are discussed in connection to the checkerboard patterns observed by STM in underdoped cuprates.

description: The effects of cross-compliance depend on the strategies of participation/compliance of farmers, as well as on the ability of public administration to design appropriate policy mechanisms. The objective of this paper is to present a framework for the analysis of cross-compliance under asymmetric information with the option of differentiating commitments across farmers. The methodology is applied to a case study represented by the province of Bologna (Italy). The results show that, in the present conditions of control and sanctions, only a small share of farms is interested in complying with cross-compliance. The profitability of the choice of compliance/non-compliance depends mainly on the amount of single farm payment entitlements compared with the total land. The differentiation of restrictions across farmers, under relevant budget constraints for controls, appears a key strategic components in order to ensure the effectiveness of cross-compliance.

 Type material examined (images). Male holotype (DORSA-BG00002S01), Philippines, Luzon Island, Manila, coll. Meyen (MfN).
 Material examined. 2 males (UPLG.19.45, 57): Philippines, Luzon Island, Laguna, Paete, Barangay Ilaya Norte, UP Land Grant, N14.40167, E121.54278, 303.5± 4.1 m, 1649 hours; N14.39870, E121.54249, 349.0± 5.3 m, 2030 hours, 6 September 2019, on foliage, coll. M. K. Tan, J. B. Baroga-Barbecho, C. C. Lucañas and S. A. Yap, pinned and genitalia dissected (all UPLBMNH and ZRC)
 Distribution. This species was described from the Philippines and is currently known only in Luzon Island. The holotype collected from Manila is apparently missing (Hollier et al., 2013). This species was also known from Nueva Cáceres (now part of Naga) (Bruner, 1915). Our material represents the first record of this species in La-guna—albeit not surprising—between Manila in the north of Laguna and Naga in the south of Luzon Island.
 Genitalia description (Figs. 2 C–E). The genitalia of the male holotype is partly missing, with only the epiphallus (including the bridge, posterolateral epiphallic lobes, posteromedial epiphallic lobule) and ectoparameres present; while rami, rachis (= guiding rod), endoparameres are missing (Gorochov, 1996; Cigliano et al., 2020). The males from Laguna have very similar epiphallic morphology, which are distinct from other congeners: epiphallus (ep) with posterior margin broadly concave posterolateral epiphallic lobes (p.ep) slender, flattened and bent at 90° internally at the apex with apex subacute; posteromedial epiphallic lobule (m.ep) stout with obtuse apices; ectoparameres strongly sclerotized and stoutly triangular, each with a basal dorsal lobe with subacute apex, taper apically into an acute apex that slightly surpassing posterolateral epiphallic lobes. Here we describe the missing parts of the genitalia: endoparamere (en) forked posteriorly, anterior end straight but not surpassing rami; rami (r) slender, gently curved, anterior end acute; rachis (ra) straight, relatively narrow, anterior end somewhat arrowed-shaped, posterior end truncated and slightly surpassing posteromedial lobule of epiphallus.

description: We present a first-principles study of the structure and energetics of Bjerrum defects in ice Ih and compare the results to experimental electrical conductivity data. While the DFT result for the activation energy is in good agreement with experiment, we find that its two components have quite different values. Aside from providing new insight into the fundamental parameters of the microscopic electrical theory of ice, our results suggest the activity of traps in doped ice in the temperature regime typically assumed to be controlled by the free migration of L defects.

description: Cross compliance has been introduced in the EU partly to improve compliance with pre-existing EU legislation in the Member States. Considerable effort has been put into implementing this instrument and the corresponding control systems. This presents an opportunity to assess factors for an efficient enforcement of standards and discuss these with regard to cross compliance. The paper characterizes the enforcement system connected with cross compliance in the EU and implications of interactions with the national control systems for specialized legislation. Economic theories on mechanisms and the behavior, which form the basis of controls, are applied to cross compliance in order to draw conclusions on the implementation of controls and sanctions. The potential contribution of cross compliance to an efficient enforcement of mandatory standards is critically discussed. In view of the insecure future of direct payments any further development of cross compliance within the EU should aim at increasing the effectiveness of the enforcement of legal standards and strengthen national specialized control systems in the long term.

description: The introduction of cross-compliance mechanism in the European Union with its 2003 CAP-reform might affect the costs of production and thus competitiveness of the EU. Little evidence is available to asses the costs of compliance with regulations and it implication for trade. In this study a farm level competitiveness analysis of the impacts of the Nitrate Directive and the Identification & registration Directive focuses on the dairy sector in Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands and UK (within EU), and the US and New Zealand (outside EU). The findings from this study are integrated into a trade analysis which assesses the impact of compliance costs on competitiveness of the various trading nations in global trade. Representative farm studies were used as a basis for the cost increase calculations. Best-estimates of compliance are used from the existing literature and expert judgements. The negative impact of these measures (for nitrates, and animal identification and registration) on EU imports and exports are less than 3 percent. If a smaller increase in compliance takes place, these already relatively small trade impacts will be further diminished. When the standards for nitrate pollution taken by the US and New Zealand are taken into account along with full compliance assumption in all countries analysed, this would only slightly improve the EU exports. The trade impacts obtained when no changes are assumed to happen in key competitor countries can thus be argued as providing the upper bound of the likely trade impacts.
Next-to-leading order Calculation of a Fragmentation Function in a Light-Cone Gauge

description: The short-distance coefficients for the color-octet ^3S_1 term in the fragmentation function for a gluon to split into polarized heavy quarkonium states are re-calculated to order alpha_s^2. The light-cone gauge remarkably simplifies the calculation by eliminating many Feynman diagrams at the expense of introducing spurious poles in loop integrals. We do not use any conventional prescriptions for spurious pole. Instead, we only use gauge invariance with the aid of Collins-Soper definition of the fragmentation function. Our result agrees with a previous calculation of Braaten and Lee in the Feynman gauge, but disagrees with another previous calculation.

Spectrally Sparse Signal Recovery via Hankel Matrix Completion with Prior Information

description: This paper studies the problem of reconstructing spectrally sparse signals from a small random subset of time domain samples via low-rank Hankel matrix completion with the aid of prior information. By leveraging the low-rank structure of spectrally sparse signals in the lifting domain and the similarity between the signals and their prior information, we propose a convex method to recover the undersampled spectrally sparse signals. The proposed approach integrates the inner product of the desired signal and its prior information in the lift domain into vanilla Hankel matrix completion, which maximizes the correlation between the signals and their prior information. Theoretical analysis indicates that when the prior information is reliable, the proposed method has a better performance than vanilla Hankel matrix completion, which reduces the number of measurements by a logarithmic factor. We also develop an ADMM algorithm to solve the corresponding optimization problem. Numerical results are provided to verify the performance of proposed method and corresponding algorithm.

description: Supersymmetry combined with little-Higgs can render the Higgs vev super-little, providing models of electroweak symmetry breaking free from fine-tunings. We discuss the difficulties that arise in implementing this idea and propose one simple successful model. Thanks to appropriately chosen Higgs representations, D-terms give no tree-level mass term to the Goldstone. The fermion representations are anomaly free, generation independent and embeddable into an SU(6) GUT. A simple mechanism provides the large top quark mass.

 Eremidrilus allegheniensis (Cook). Fend & Rodriguez 2003: 518.
 Material examined. NMC 3471, 3472, 2 dissected paratypes from the type locality, Tennessee, Franklin Co., Round Mountain Cave, (7 miles Northeast of Still Fork, Alabama); in rimstone pool, 30 July 1967.
 Remarks. Eremidrilus allegheniensis was described in detail by Cook (1971), based on four museum specimens. A paratype (USNM 43491) was reexamined by Rodriguez & Giani (1994) and the holotype (USNM 43490) by Fend & Rodriguez (2003). The two additional specimens examined here confirm several characters that effectively distinguish the eastern North American E. allegheniensis from the new western species having two spermathecal segments. The allegheniensis atrium is more elongate and tubular (Table 2), commonly extending into adjacent segments (Fig. 9A,B; see also Fig. 1A in Cook 1971); it is densely covered by a thick layer of prostate glands in densely-packed, distinct clusters (Fig. 10A), and the ectal end (at the base of the porophore) is somewhat muscular, then narrowing within the porophore. The vasa deferentia are free for most of their length, only penetrating the atrial wall near the apical end.
 Some additional characters visible in the present material also appear noteworthy. The atrial epithelium of E. allegheniensis is thick (over 20 µm) and glandular (Fig. 10A,B), particularly compared with that of E. artzaini, E. humboldti, and E. gilita n. spp. The spermathecae have sacciform ampullae, short ducts and unordered sperm, as in other species with two spermathecal segments (Figs. 9A, 10F); however, E. allegheniensis spermathecal pores terminate on distinctive papillae (Fig. 10D,E). Among the other described Eremidrilus species, only E. felini Fend & Rodriguez, 2003 has strongly modified spermathecal pores, but those open within laterally placed sacs (see Figs. 13 f,g in Fend & Rodriguez 2003). A pair of large (copulatory?) glands, adjacent to the ventral chaetae in XIII (Figs. 9B, 10E) was seen in both E. allegheniensis paratypes examined here, and a smaller pair of similar glands was present anterior to the chaetae in XII. These glands are multicellular, with conjoined ducts terminating on a small secretory surface, and resemble copulatory glands in some other lumbriculid genera (e.g. Fend et al. 2015). They have not been observed in other Eremidrilus species, but also were not mentioned in prior E. allegheniensis descriptions.

description: We apply a set of weekly Nielsen retail scanner data for the period 2006-2007 to estimate consumer demand of value-based ground meat products in the Canadian retail market. Our demand system results indicate that price responses are stronger for organic than for extra lean meat products. Additionally, while rising disposable incomes may shift consumers’ attention and purchases towards extra lean ground meat products, this result does not hold for organic ground beef. Our findings strongly suggest that ground meat demand is affected by traditional meat consumption patterns. Our analysis inform retail managers meat producers about potential market opportunities and expected consumer responses to changing economic determinants of popular retail ground meat demand.
On the contribution of quiet Sun magnetism to solar irradiance variations: Constraints on quiet Sun variability and grand minimum scenarios

description: While the quiet Sun magnetic field shows only little variation with the solar cycle, long-term variations cannot be completely ruled out from first principles. We investigate the potential effect of quiet Sun magnetism on spectral solar irradiance through a series of small-scale dynamo simulations with zero vertical flux imbalance ($\langle B_z\rangle=0$) and varying levels of small-scale magnetic field strength, and one weak network case with an additional flux imbalance corresponding to a flux density of $\langle B_z\rangle=100$ G. From these setups we compute the dependence of the outgoing radiative energy flux on the mean vertical magnetic field strength in the photosphere at continuum optical depth $τ=1$ ($\langle \vert B_z\vert\rangle_{τ=1}$). We find that a quiet Sun setup with a mean vertical field strength of $\langle \vert B_z\vert\rangle_{τ=1}=69$ G is about $0.6~\%$ brighter than a non-magnetic reference case. We find a linear dependence of the outgoing radiative energy flux on the mean field strength $\langle \vert B_z\vert\rangle_{τ=1}$ with a relative slope of $1.4\cdot 10^{-4}$ G$^{-1}$. With this sensitivity, only a moderate change of the quiet Sun field strength by $10\%$ would lead to a total solar irradiance variation comparable to the observed solar cycle variation. While this does provide strong indirect constraints on possible quiet Sun variations during a regular solar cycle, it also emphasizes that potential variability over longer time scales could make a significant contribution to longer-term solar irradiance variations.
