Pyrus communis

description: Pear is widely grown worldwide, with production estimated at 22.6 million tons. Washington state leads in US production of the European (Pyrus communis L.) pear and grows most of the fresh and canning pears in the Pacific Northwest for the commercial market. Orchard designs and training systems have been changing from traditional low-density plantings to modern high-density plantings in tree fruit areas around the world to maximize production through high yields; reduce labor costs and challenges, and improve overall orchard efficiency. To have a sustainable and successfully productive high-density orchard, dwarfing rootstocks are needed to control vigor and tree size, increase precocity, and produce high-quality large fruit for the market. Unlike with apples, the US has been hesitant about adopting high-dwarfing rootstocks for pear production mainly because the currently available rootstocks are more susceptible to harsher environments than are found in the PNW. Further research evaluating dwarfing rootstocks for high-density pear orchards is crucial to improving the current state of the US pear industry. This research addressed the improvement of European pear production in the PNW utilizing rootstock selection, emphasizing the use of quince as a dwarfing rootstock for ‘Bartlett’ and ‘d’Anjou’ pear cultivars. Overall performance and growth characteristics were determined for all nine CYD quince rootstock graft combinations, using a ‘Comice’ interstem for both cultivars. Specifically, this research identified 4 promising CYD quince accession rootstock combinations for WA pear production based on adequate vegetative growth and vigor, physiological performance, fruit productivity, and fruit quality. These combinations included ‘Bartlett’ and ‘d’Anjou’ grafted with a ‘Comice’ interstem to quince rootstocks 22.001, 23.001, 57.001, and 65.001. These findings allow the US pear industry to move more confidently into the direction of high-density pear production using a promising dwarfing quince rootstock for pear.

description: Rationale: The role of PI (protease inhibitor) type Z heterozygotes and additional rare variant genotypes in the gene encoding alpha-1 antitrypsin, SERPINA1 (serpin peptidase inhibitor, clade A,member 1), in determining chronic obstructive pulmonary disease risk and severity is controversial. Objectives: To comprehensively evaluate the effects of rare SERPINA1 variants on lung function and emphysema phenotypes in subjects with significant tobacco smoke exposure using deep gene resequencing and alpha-1 antitrypsin concentrations. Methods: DNA samples from 1,693 non-Hispanic white individuals, 385 African Americans, and 90 Hispanics with >20 pack-years smoking were resequenced for the identification of rare variants (allele frequency,0.05) in 16.9 kB of SERPINA1. Measurements and Main Results: White PI Z heterozygotes confirmed by sequencing (MZ; n = 74) had lower postbronchodilator FEV1 (P = 0.007), FEV1/FVC (P = 0.003), and greater computed tomography-based emphysema (P = 0.02) compared with 1,411 white individuals without PI Z, S, or additional rare variants denoted as VR. PI Z-containing compound heterozygotes (ZS/ZVR; n = 7) had lower FEV1/FVC (P = 0.02) and forced expiratory flow, midexpiratory phase (P = 0.009). Nineteen white heterozygotes for five non-S/Z coding variants associated with lower alpha-1 antitrypsin had greater computed tomography-based emphysema compared with those without rare variants. In African Americans, a 59 untranslated region insertion (rs568223361) was associated with lower alpha-1 antitrypsin and functional small airway disease (P = 0.007). Conclusions: In this integrative deep sequencing study of SERPINA1 with alpha-1 antitrypsin concentrations in a heavy smoker and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease cohort, we confirmed the effects of PI Z heterozygote and compound heterozygote genotypes. We demonstrate the cumulative effects of multiple SERPINA1 variants on alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, lung function, and emphysema, thus significantly increasing the frequency of SERPINA1 variation associated with respiratory disease in at-risk smokers.

description: Modern syntheses of eukaryote diversity assign almost all taxa to one of three groups: Amorphea, Diaphoretickes and Excavata (comprising Discoba and Metamonada). The most glaring exception is Malawimonadidae, a group of small heterotrophic flagellates that resemble Excavata by morphology, but branch with Amorphea in most phylogenomic analyses. However, just one malawimonad, Malawimonas jakobiformis, has been studied with both morphological and molecular-phylogenetic approaches, raising the spectre of interpretation errors and phylogenetic artefacts from low taxon sampling. We report a morphological and phylogenomic study of a new deep-branching malawimonad, Gefionella okellyi n. gen. n. sp. Electron microscopy revealed all canonical features of ‘typical excavates’, including two opposed flagellar vanes (unlike M. jakobiformis but like many metamonads) and a composite fibre. Initial phylogenomic analyses grouped malawimonads with the Amorphea-related orphan lineage Collodictyon, separate from a Metamonada+Discoba clade. However, support for this topology weakened when more sophisticated evolutionary models were used, and/or fast-evolving sites and long-branching taxa (FS/LB) were excluded. Analyses of ‘–FS/LB’ datasets instead suggested a relationship between malawimonads and metamonads. The ‘malawimonad+metamonad signal’ in morphological and molecular data argues against a Metamonada+Discoba clade (i.e. the predominant concept of Excavata). A Metamonad+Discoba clade should therefore not be assumed when inferring deep-level evolutionary history in eukaryotes.

description: We present the results of an experimental study of the elastic enhancement factor W for a microwave rectangular cavity simulating a two-dimensional quantum billiard in a transient region between regular and chaotic dynamics. The cavity was coupled to a vector network analyzer via two microwave antennas. The departure of the system from the integrable one due to presence of antennas acting as scatterers is characterised by the parameter of chaoticity k = 2.8. The experimental results for the rectangular cavity are compared with the ones obtained for a microwave rough cavity simulating a chaotic quantum billiard. The experimental results were obtained for the frequency range v = 16 - 18.5 GHz and moderate absorption strength y = 5.2 - 7.4. We show that the elastic enhancement factor for the rectangular cavity lies below the theoretical value W = 3 predicted for integrable systems and it is significantly higher than the one obtained for the rough cavity. The results obtained for the microwave rough cavity are smaller than the ones obtained within the framework of Random Matrix Theory and lie between them and the ones predicted within a recently introduced model of the two-channel coupling (V. Sokolov and O. Zhirov, arXiv:1411.6211v2[nucl-th], 12 Dec 2014).

"shocking" the system to achieve efficient gene targeting in primary human airway epithelia

Publisher: name: American Thoracic Society

description: The ability to knock out specific genes to gain an understanding of their function is a mainstay of modern research, and the use of technologies to achieve this goal to study pulmonary biology is no exception. Homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells, antisense oligonucleotides, sh/siRNA, and CRISPR-mediated deletions are widely known and used. Most of these methods will perform well in various model systems and cell lines, with the classic method, homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells, being highly useful in animals. However, for translational questions, interspecies and/or cell line differences often require confirmation of functional findings in primary human cells. Primary human airway cultures are a highly valued model to study pulmonary biology, and the application of robust gene knockdown technologies to these cells is a valuable method to foster our knowledge in this field. Unfortunately, as with other primary cell models, primary airway cells generally remain persistently defiant to easy genetic manipulation.

description: Online child sexual abuse material (CSAM) is a growing problem. Prevention charities, such as Stop It Now! UK, use online messaging to dissuade users from viewing CSAM and to encourage them to consider anonymous therapeutic interventions. This experiment used a honeypot website that purported to contain barely legal pornography, which we treated as a proxy for CSAM. We examined whether warnings would dissuade males (18–30 years) from visiting the website. Participants (n = 474) who attempted to access the site were randomly allocated to one of four conditions. The control group went straight to the landing page (control; n = 100). The experimental groups encountered different warning messages: deterrence-themed with an image (D3; n = 117); therapeutic-themed (T1; n = 120); and therapeutic-themed with an image (T3; n = 137). We measured the click through to the site. Three quarters of the control group attempted to enter the pornography site, compared with 35 % to 47 % of the experimental groups. All messages were effective: D3 (odds ratio [OR] = 5.02), T1 (OR = 4.06) and T2 (OR = 3.05). Images did not enhance warning effectiveness. We argue that therapeutic and deterrent warnings are useful for CSAM-prevention.

description: A high-frequency optical phonon mode of SrTiO3 (STO) was found to assist the high-temperature superconductivity observed recently at the interface between monolayer FeSe and STO substrate. However, the origin of this mode is not clear. Through first-principles calculations, we find that there is a novel polar phonon mode on the surface layers of the STO substrate, which does not exist in the STO crystals. The oxygen vacancies near the FeSe/STO interface drives the dispersion of this phonon mode to be flat and lowers its energy, whereas the charge transfer between STO substrate and FeSe monolayer further reduces its energy to 81 meV. This energy is in good agreement with the experimental value fitted by Lee et al. for the phonon mode responsible for the observed replica band separations and the increased superconducting gap. The oxygen-vacancy-induced flat and polar phonon mode provides clues for understanding the origin of high Tc superconductivity at the FeSe/STO interface.

description: A concept of quasi-metrizability with respect to a bornology of a generalized topological space in the sense of Delfs and Knebusch is introduced. Quasi-metrization theorems for generalized bornological universes are deduced. A uniform quasi-metrizability with respect to a bornology is studied. The class of locally small spaces is considered and a possibly larger class of weakly locally small spaces is defined. The proofs and numerous examples are given in \textbf{ZF}. An example of a weakly locally small space which is not locally small is constructed under \textbf{ZF+CC}. Several categories, relevant to generalized bornological universes, are defined and shown to be topological constructs.

description: Vortex blob methods are typically characterized by a regularization length scale, below which the dynamics are trivial for isolated blobs. In this article we observe that the dynamics need not be trivial if one is willing to consider distributional derivatives of Dirac delta functionals as valid vorticity distributions. More specifically, a new singular vortex theory is presented for regularized Euler fluid equations of ideal incompressible flow in the plane. We determine the conditions under which such regularized Euler fluid equations may admit vorticity singularities which are stronger than delta functions, e.g., derivatives of delta functions. We also describe the symplectic geometry associated to these augmented vortex structures and we characterize the dynamics as Hamiltonian. Applications to the design of numerical methods similar to vortex blob methods are also discussed. Such findings illuminate the rich dynamics which occur below the regularization length scale and enlighten our perspective on the potential for regularized fluid models to capture multiscale phenomena.

description: We consider the Clairaut theory of the equilibrium ellipsoidal figures for differentiated non-homogeneous bodies in non-synchronous rotation adding to it a tidal deformation due to the presence of an external gravitational force. We assume that the body is a fluid formed by $n$ homogeneous layers of ellipsoidal shape and we calculate the external polar flattenings and the mean radius of each layer, or, equivalently, their semiaxes. To first order in the flattenings, the general solution can be written as $ε_k={\cal H}_k*ε_h$ and $μ_k={\cal H}_k*μ_h$, where $\cal{H}_k$ is a characteristic coefficient for each layer which only depends on the internal structure of the body and $ε_h, μ_h$ are the flattenings of the equivalent homogeneous problem. For the continuous case, we study the Clairaut differential equation for the flattening profile, using the Radau transformation to find the boundary conditions when the tidal potential is added. Finally, the theory is applied to several examples: i) a body composed of two homogeneous layers; ii) bodies with simple polynomial density distribution laws and iii) bodies following a polytropic pressure-density law.

description: Presence of recurrent and statistically significant unstable periodic orbits (UPOs) in time series obtained from biological systems are now routinely used as evidence for low dimensional chaos . Extracting accurate dynamical information from the detected UPO trajectories are vital for successful control strategies that either aim to stabilize the system near the fixed point or steer the system away from the periodic orbits. A hybrid UPO detection method from return maps that combines topological recurrence criterion, matrix fit algorithm and stringent criterion for fixed point location gives accurate and statistically significant UPOs even in the presence of significant noise. Geometry of the return map, frequency of UPOs visiting the same trajectory, length of the data set, strength of the noise and degree of nonstationarity affect the efficacy of the proposed method. Results suggest that establishing determinism from unambiguous UPO detection is often possible in short data sets with significant noise, but derived dynamical properties are rarely accurate and adequate for controlling the dynamics around these UPOs. A repeat chaos control experiment on epileptic hippocampal slices through more stringent control strategy and adaptive UPO tracking is reinterpreted in this context through simulation of similar control experiments on an analogous but stochastic computer model of epileptic brain slices. Reproduction of equivalent results suggests that far more stringent criteria are needed for linking apparent success of control in such experiments with possible determinism in the underlying dynamics.

description: The graphene-based aerogels with good electrical conductivity and compressibility have been reported. However, it is challenging to fabricate the graphene aerogel to have excellent mechanical stability for its application in wearable devices. Thus, inspired by macroscale arch-shaped elastic structures and the importance of crosslinking in microstructural stability, we synthesized the mechanically stable reduced graphene oxide aerogels with small elastic modulus by optimizing the reducing agent to make the aligned wrinkled microstructure in which physical crosslinking is dominant. We used L-ascorbic acid, urea, and hydrazine hydrate as reducing agents to synthesize the graphene aerogels rGO-LAA, rGO-Urea, and rGO-HH, respectively. Hydrazine hydrate was found to be best in enhancing the physical and ionic interaction among graphene nanoflakes to achieve a wavy structure with excellent fatigue resistance. Notably, the optimized rGO-HH aerogel maintained structural stability even after 1000 cycles of compression of 50% strain and decompression, showing 98.7% stress retention and 98.1% height retention. We also studied the piezoresistive properties of the rGO-HH aerogel and showed that the rGO-HH-based pressure sensor exhibited excellent sensitivity (~5.7 kPa−1) with good repeatability. Hence, a super-compressible and mechanically stable piezoresistive material for wearable functional devices was demonstrated by controlling the microstructure and surface chemistry of the reduced graphene oxide aerogel.

description: Low luminosity galaxies may be the building blocks of more luminous systems. Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) observations of the low luminosity, early-type galaxy NGC59 are obtained and analysed. These data are used to measure the stellar population parameters in the centre and off-centre regions of this galaxy, in order to uncover its likely star formation history. We find evidence of older stars, in addition to young stars in the emission line regions. The metallicity of the stellar population is constrained to be [Z/H] ~ -1.1 to -1.6, which is extremely low, even for this low luminosity galaxy, since it is not classed as a dwarf spheroidal galaxy. The measured [alpha/Fe] ratio is sub-solar, which indicates an extended star formation history in NGC59. If such objects formed the building blocks of more massive, early-type galaxies, then they must have been gaseous mergers, rather than dry mergers, in order to increase the metals to observed levels in luminous, early-type galaxies.

description: A species factory refers to the source that gives rise to an exceptionally large number of species. However, what is it exactly: a place, a time or a combination of places, times and environmental conditions, remains unclear. Here we search for species factories computationally, for which we develop statistical approaches to detect origination, extinction and sorting hotspots in space and time in the fossil record. Using data on European Late Cenozoic mammals, we analyse where, how and how often species factories occur, and how they potentially relate to the dynamics of environmental conditions. We find that in the Early Miocene origination hotspots tend to be located in areas with relatively low estimated net primary productivity. Our pilot study shows that species first occurring in origination hotspots tend to have a longer average longevity and a larger geographical range than other species, thus emphasizing the evolutionary importance of the species factories.

description: The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic caused significant disruption to U.S. meat supply chains in the spring and summer of 2020, according to a recent USDA, Economic Research Service report. In the early months of the pandemic, COVID-19 infections caused worker absences at beef packing plants, leading to a slowdown in slaughter rates and even some temporary plant shutdowns. From mid-April to mid-June 2020, the decrease in slaughter rates—combined with a surge in retail demand—drove a historically wide gap between wholesale meat and livestock prices. Wholesale beef prices rose, while cattle prices remained low. The price changes affected the entire supply chain. Cattle producers struggled with low prices for their market-ready animals and consumers paid more for beef at grocery stores.

Year: 1980

description: The large sample null distribution of a progressively censored nonparametric test for multiple regression proposed by Majumdar and Sen is computed. Also the asymptotic nonnull distribution for the test based on Savage scores is computed for local alternatives when the underlying distribution is exponential. The power of this test is compared with the power of the corresponding fixed sample tests. The stopping properties are also investigated. A short table of critical values is included.

description: Understanding public debt enables policymakers of countries to devise measures on how to create sound decisions to reduce, if not fully eradicate it. This paper explores the economic, social and institutional determinants of public debt in the ASEAN+3. Specifically, this paper looks at how the GDP per capita, balance of payments, unemployment rate, poverty headcount ratio, gini index, and corruption perception index contribute to the public debt of the ASEAN+3. Constructing a fixed-effects panel regression model of the ASEAN+3’s debt to GDP ratio by the three determinants, the results show that the social and institutional determinants were statistically significant in affecting the ASEAN+3’s public debt. For the social determinants, unemployment and gini index has positive effects while poverty headcount ratio has negative effects on the public debt in ASEAN+3. For the institutional determinant, the researcher found that the corruption perception index of the ASEAN+3 has positive effects on its public debt.
On the theory of elliptically contoured distributions

description: The theory of elliptically contoured distributions is presented in an unrestricted setting, with no moment restrictions or assumptions of absolute continuity. These distributions are defined parametrically through their characteristic functions and then studied primarily through the use of stochastic representations which naturally follow from the work of Schoenberg [5] on spherically symmetric distributions. It is shown that the conditional distributions of elliptically contoured distributions are elliptically contoured, and the conditional distributions are precisely identified. In addition, a number of the properties of normal distributions (which constitute a type of elliptically contoured distributions) are shown, in fact, to characterize normality.
Connections and dynamical trajectories in generalised Newton-Cartan gravity II. An ambient perspective

description: Connections compatible with degenerate metric structures are known to possess peculiar features: on the one hand, the compatibility conditions involve restrictions on the torsion; on the other hand, torsionfree compatible connections are not unique, the arbitrariness being encoded in a tensor field whose type depends on the metric structure. Nonrelativistic structures typically fall under this scheme, the paradigmatic example being a contravariant degenerate metric whose kernel is spanned by a one-form. Torsionfree compatible (i.e. Galilean) connections are characterised by the gift of a two-form (the force field). Whenever the two-form is closed, the connection is said Newtonian. Such a nonrelativistic spacetime is known to admit an ambient description as the orbit space of a gravitational wave with parallel rays. The leaves of the null foliation are endowed with a nonrelativistic structure dual to the Newtonian one, dubbed Carrollian spacetime. We propose a generalisation of this unifying framework by introducing a new non-Lorentzian ambient metric structure of which we study the geometry. We characterise the space of (torsional) connections preserving such a metric structure which is shown to project to (resp. embed) the most general class of (torsional) Galilean (resp. Carrollian) connections.

description: By 2019, total employment in rural America had not yet recovered from jobs lost during and after the Great Recession (2007–2009), and according to a recently published USDA, Economic Research Service analysis, the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic led to further job losses in 2020. Annual average employment levels in 2019 were only 97 percent of their pre-Great Recession levels in rural counties, while employment levels in urban counties had reached 111 percent of 2007 levels by 2019. The drop in rural employment from 2007 to 2019 partially coincided with an unprecedented period of rural population loss from 2010 to 2016 and an aging overall population.
