description: Ethylene is gaseous plant hormone that controls a variety of physiological activities. OsERS1 and OsETR2 are major ethylene receptors in rice that have been reported to have different regulatory functions. The GFP fused N-terminus of OsERS1 and OsETR2 showed differentially localization patterns when transiently expressed in onion epidermal cells. Base on the results, we suggested that OsERS1 could be localized to plasma membranes, whereas OsETR2 could be localized to the endoplasmic reticulum. Furthermore, instead of the constitutive expression profile of OsERS1, OsETR2 is differentially expressed in seedlings of light/dark-grown conditions, submergence or exogenous ethylene treatments. Our results and others support the notion that OsERS1 and OsETR2 could have different roles during rice plant submergence.

description: Some new 1-aryl-4-[(aziridine-1-yl)diaryl-methyl]-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole derivatives 7j–s were synthesized by the one-pot reaction of diaryl-(1-aryl-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methanol compounds 6j–s formed from 1-aryl-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylic acid derivatives. The new compounds 7j–s and 6j–s are investigated by 1H and 13C NMR, MS, and IR. The anticancer activity of the synthesis target compounds was evaluated against human leukemia (HL-60) cells and human hepatoma G2 cells. Some of the compounds were highly efficient. The 1H-NMR signals of the aziridine-ring cis-H/trans-H protons were found to be two group peaks at 1.800–1.884 and 1.183–1.327 ppm.

description: An external electric field was applied on the filter to improve its collection efficiency, and the collection efficiencies of the different filters under various conditions were evaluated. Dominant electrical filtration mechanisms for each condition were investigated using experimental and theoretical approaches. Four types of air filters were used as test filters: a charged fiber filter, a low-grade filter with 50% collection efficiency in the most penetration particle size (MPPS) zone, and two high-grade filters with more than 95% collection efficiency in the MPPS zone. Three different particle charge states—neutralized, single-charged and uncharged—were considered. For neutralized particles, the external electric field led to a 14.5%p. and 2.5%p. increase in the collection efficiencies of the low-grade filter and charged fiber filter, respectively. With the electric field, the collection efficiency of the low-grade filter increased by 30%p. for single-charged particles. The electric field also affected the collection efficiencies of the charged filter and high-grade filters, but the effect was not significant. For uncharged particles, the electric field did not lead to a remarkable increase in the collection efficiencies of any of the filters. Through experimental and theoretical analysis, it was found that the polarization force imposed on the charged fiber was the dominant factor for the charged fiber filter regardless of application of the external electric field. The Coulombic force imposed on the electric field was the dominant factor for the low-grade filter, while both the Coulombic and the polarization forces affected the collection efficiency of the high-grade filter.

description: A family of silicon (IV) compounds containing N,N'-symmetrically alkyl substituted 1,3-diketimine ligands as chemical vapor deposition (CVD) precursors for silicon-based films has been reported and characterized by 1H, 13C, and 29Si NMR, EI-MS and elemental analysis where necessary. The compounds were synthesized by reaction of corresponding lithium salt of the diketimine ligands and SiMe3Cl according to a general procedure. Theoretical simulation was performed in order to understand their structures. Thermal stability, transport behavior and vapor pressures were evaluated by simultaneous thermal analyses (STA). Chemical vapor deposition was accomplished in a hot wall CVD reactor system to further demonstrate the ability of these compounds as CVD precursors. Characterization (SEM and XPS) of the as-grown films proved that the family indeed possesses the potential to fabricate silicon-based films with compact and uniform structure.

description: A novel flame retardant curing agent for epoxy resin (EP), i.e., a DOPO (9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenan-threne-10-oxide)-containing 4,4'-bisphenol novolac (BIP-DOPO) was synthesized and characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), 1H NMR, 31P NMR spectroscopy, and gel permeation chromatography. The epoxy resin cured by BIP-DOPO itself or its mixture with a commonly used bisphenol A-formaldehyde novolac resin (NPEH720) was prepared. The flame retardancy of the cured EP thermosets were studied by limiting oxygen index (LOI), UL 94 and cone calorimeter test (CCT), and the thermal properties by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results show that the cured epoxy resin EPNP/BI/3/1, which contains 2.2% phosphorus, possesses a value of 26.2% and achieves the UL 94 V-0 rating. The data from cone calorimeter test demonstrated that the peak release rate, average heat release rate, total heat release decline sharply for the flame retarded epoxy resins, compared with those of pure ones. DSC results show that the glass-transition temperatures of cured epoxy resins decrease with increasing phosphorus content. TGA indicates that the incorporation of BIP-DOPO promotes the decomposition of epoxy resin matrix ahead of time and leads to higher char yield. The surface morphological structures of the char residues reveal that the introduction of BIP-DOPO benefits to the formation of a continuous and solid char layer on the epoxy resin material surface during combustion.

description: Understanding how proteins fold has remained a problem of great interest in biophysical research. Atomistic computer simulations using physics-based force fields can provide important insights on the interplay of different interactions and energetics and their roles in governing the folding thermodynamics and mechanism. In particular, generalized Born (GB)-based implicit solvent force fields can be optimized to provide an appropriate balance between solvation and intramolecular interactions and successfully recapitulate experimental conformational equilibria for a set of helical and β-hairpin peptides. Here, we further demonstrate that key thermodynamic properties and their temperature dependence obtained from replica exchange molecular dynamics simulations of these peptides are in quantitative agreement with experimental results. Useful lessons can be learned on how the interplay of entropy and sequentially long-range interactions governs the mechanism and cooperativity of folding. These results highlight the great potential of high-quality implicit solvent force fields for studying protein folding and large-scale conformational transitions.

description: Emotionsregulation und kooperatives Verhalten in belastenden Situationen spielen eine zentrale Rolle bei der Erklärung von proaktiver und reaktiver Aggression der Kinder. Wie sehr erklären die Emotionsregulation und das kooperative Verhalten den Effekt von Belastungen der Eltern bzw. Lehrpersonen auf die reaktive und proaktive Aggression der Kinder? Ausgewertet wurden querschnittliche Fragebogendaten von Eltern und Lehrpersonen, die N= 158 Kinder mit Verhaltensauffälligkeiten in Kindergarten und Primarstufe einschätzten. Strukturgleichungsmodelle zeigen, dass die Belastung der Eltern bzw. Lehrpersonen mit der Emotionsregulation und dem kooperativen Verhalten indirekt mit der reaktiven und proaktiven Aggression zusammenhängt. Die Ergebnisse verdeutlichen die Bedeutsamkeit einer frühzeitigen Förderung der Emotionsregulation und des kooperativen Verhaltens.

description: To study the idea of the body posture on the harpsichord, I took a step back and looked how it appeared in the historical sources.I wanted to understand how the body was considered when making music, in France in the 17th century. I studied the social and cultural environement of the courtisans of Louis XIV to understand the place of the body in the French society. After collecting elements about the body, I analyzed these ideas the physiotherapist Johanna Gutzwiller. My goal was to understand what attitude one should adopt towards these sources as a harpsichordist and teacher today.

description: The aim of the project Joining technology at primary school, which was conducted as part of the EduNaT strategic initiative at FHNW (University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland) in the period 2015 to 2017, was primarily to develop and test teaching ideas and materials for technology in General Science classes. The specific aim of the project was to reduce technophobia in teachers by making a tried-and-tested range of technical, didactic and media suggestions available to them on an online platform especially designed for this purpose. A collaborative approach was taken, with engineers and technicians from the FHNW engineering school, educators from the FHNW college of education and teachers from primary schools contributing their respective expertise - they worked together to develop teaching ideas and materials in the field of joining technology at primary school. The materials and ideas were then tested in workshops with 80 pupils from primary school classes. Audio and video recordings were made of the tests, which were then evaluated using objective hermeneutics. Observations made during the workshops led to a deeper understanding of the nature and essence of technical development processes in the participating children. It was possible to deduce from observation analysis, among other things, which joining techniques or elements are particularly suitable for the development of model thinking, which are better for gaining experience with technical design and which are better for understanding technical vocabulary. After evaluation, the teaching ideas and materials were reworked. The resulting teaching ideas and materials are now available through an online platform for qualifying teachers (training and professional development). The development process is presented here and insights are given into the ideas and materials developed by way of some examples.

description: A series of new transition metal Schiff base complexes was synthesized via the reaction of H2L (N,N′-bis(naphthylidene)-2-aminobenzylamine) with the transition metals (Cu2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Zn2+ and Mn2+) and characterized by elemental analysis, 1HNMR, FT-IR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis(TG) and in selected cases by X-ray crystallography. Thermodynamics of complex formation, electrochemistry of the metal Schiff base complexes and kinetic aspects of thermal decomposition of the complexes were also studied. The obtained formation constants change according to the following trend due to the electronegativity and Jahn-Teller effects of the central transition metals: Cu > Co > Ni > Zn >Mn. Cyclic voltammogram of the complexes in acetonitrile was done to evaluate the redox behavior of the complexes. Electrochemistry of these complexes showed a redox reaction without any successive reactions. Furthermore, kinetic parameters which calculated by Coats–Redfern equation revealed a first-order kinetics of thermal decomposition in all stages.

description: New palladium (II) oxaloyldihydrazone complexes are reported and characterized. The mode of bonding as well as the structure of the isolated compounds have been ascertained on the basis of data obtained from elemental analyses (CHNM), spectral (UV-Vis., IR, mass and 1H NMR) and thermal (TG and DTA) measurements. Some optical parameters such as indirect optical band gap and refractive index were estimated for the isolated compounds. The inhibitive properties of all synthesized hydrazones toward the corrosion of carbon-steel in 1 M HCl solutions were tested. The adsorption of hydrazone inhibitors on steel surface proceeded as a spontaneous first order reaction.

description: Dubletten gehören in Bibliotheken zum Alltag. Da Dubletten beim Retrieval und bei der Datenbankeffizienz grosse Probleme verursachen, wird viel Aufwand für deren Vermeidung betrieben. Thema dieser Masterarbeit ist die Deduplizierung von bibliothekarischen Metadaten. Ziel ist es, im Rahmen einer Datenintegration ein eigenes Deduplizierungsverfahren nach Vorbild von bestehenden Verfahren zu entwickeln und parametrisieren. Ausgangssituation ist die Integration eines Institutskatalogs in den Bibliotheksverbund IDS St. Gallen. Bei der Datenanalyse zeigt sich, dass die Institutsdaten sehr heterogen sind und die Datenqualität stark variiert. Daher sollen die Daten, wo immer möglich, durch qualitativ bessere Metadaten ersetzt werden. Zunächst wird ein Kriterienkatalog für das eigene Verfahren aufgestellt. Danach werden bestehende Deduplizierungsverfahren untersucht und auf ihre Eignung für die vorliegende Situation geprüft. Aufgrund dieser Bewertung wird ein eigenes Deduplizierungsverfahren entwickelt. Die Analyse der zu integrierenden Daten, das Schema Mapping sowie die Datenbereinigung spielen eine wichtige Rolle bei der erfolgreichen Deduplizierung der Institutsdaten. Die vorgenommenen Bereinigungen werden gezeigt und die Unterschiede in den Ergebnissen – im Vergleich mit unbereinigten Daten - präsentiert. Die technische Umsetzung des eigenen Deduplizierungsverfahren wird dokumentiert, die Besonderheiten und die Parametrisierung des Verfahrens erläutert. Im vorliegenden Fall werden die Daten durch Abfragen in grossen Datenpools wie swissbib oder GVI dedupliziert und dabei gleichzeitig die Datenqualität verbessert. Die vorgenommenen Tests und Ergebnisse dieses Verfahrens werden präsentiert und kommentiert. Die Ergebnisse zur Effektivität und Effizienz des Verfahrens sind zufriedenstellend und können umgesetzt werden.

description: In acute myeloid leukemia (AML) DNA hypermethylation of gene promoters is frequently observed and often correlates with a block of differentiation. Treatment of AML patients with DNA methyltransferase inhibitors results in global hypomethylation of genes and, thereby, can lead to a reactivation of the differentiation capability. Unfortunately, after termination of treatment both hypermethylation and differentiation block return in most cases. Here, we apply, for the first time, a computational model of epigenetic regulation of transcription to: i) provide a mechanistic understanding of the DNA (de-) methylation process in AML and; ii) improve DNA demethylation treatment strategies. By in silico simulation, we analyze promoter hypermethylation scenarios referring to DNMT dysfunction, decreased H3K4me3 and increased H3K27me3 modification activity, and accelerated cell proliferation. We quantify differences between these scenarios with respect to gene repression and activation. Moreover, we compare the scenarios regarding their response to DNMT inhibitor treatment alone and in combination with inhibitors of H3K27me3 histone methyltransferases and of H3K4me3 histone demethylases. We find that the different hypermethylation scenarios respond specifically to therapy, suggesting that failure of remission originates in patient-specific deregulation. We observe that inappropriate demethylation therapy can result even in enforced deregulation. As an example, our results suggest that application of high DNMT inhibitor concentration can induce unwanted global gene activation if hypermethylation originates in increased H3K27me3 modification. Our results underline the importance of a personalized therapy requiring knowledge about the patient-specific mechanism of epigenetic deregulation.

description: Background: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of tafamidis in treating hereditary transthyretin amyloid polyneuropathy. Methods: A prospectively planned interim analysis was conducted on an on-going, phase III, open-label extension study following an 18-month, randomized, controlled study and 12-month, open-label extension study in ATTRV30M patients and a single-arm, open-label study in non-ATTRV30M patients. Thirty-seven ATTRV30M patients received placebo for 18 months, then switched to tafamidis and 38 ATTRV30M patients and 18 non-ATTRV30M patients continuously received tafamidis from day 1, up to 6 years. Results: Long-term tafamidis was associated with a favourable safety/tolerability profile, without any unexpected adverse events. Patients initiating tafamidis at the start of the randomized study had less polyneuropathy progression versus those switching to tafamidis following 18 months of placebo and were less likely to progress to the next ambulatory stage after up to 6 years follow-up. In the patients who switched from placebo to tafamidis, polyneuropathy progression and deterioration in quality of life slowed significantly during long-term tafamidis treatment as compared with the previous placebo treatment. In non-ATTRV30M patients, some polyneuropathy progression was observed across all efficacy measures. Conclusions: These data provide evidence for the long-term (up to 6 years) safety and efficacy of tafamidis.ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT00925002

description: Natural phenomena act as external cues that stimulate the reproductive activity of many marine organisms. In this study, we report the gonadal maturation in relation to the lunar cycle of wild-caught Atlantic sea urchin, Arbacia punctulata (Echinodermata: Arbaciidae, an edible marine invertebrate), in the Gulf of Mexico. Weekly changes in gonadal development were observed histologically according to the lunar cycle during the summer months from May to July. Histological observations revealed that testes were developed synchronously around the new moon in June and July. Several testes collected in the same moon phase contained residual sperm (~7%) or testicular lobules/acini fully occupied by mature sperm (~46%). Cyclic ovarian development was also observed during the summer months, some ovaries collected around the new moon in June and July contained oocytes at maturation stage (ova: ~39-71%) or empty follicles, suggesting that the Atlantic sea urchin spawns according to the lunar cycle in the Gulf of Mexico. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the lunar reproductive rhythm of Arbacia species in the Gulf of Mexico.

description: Despite the immense returns of new agricultural technologies to increase agricultural productivity and meet rising food demand, there is a lag in the adoption of these technologies by farmers. The aeroponics system is one of such innovative technologies implemented for seed yam propagation. This study assessed the awareness and the determinants of the willingness of yam farmers to adopt the aeroponics farming system, employing the likert scale and the logit regression model. Results showed that more than three-fifths of the farmers had never heard of the aeroponics farming system but were willing to adopt it for yam and seed yam propagation, although high cost of capital required for adoption was a major constraint. Key determinants of farmers' awareness of the aeroponics system include gender, age, education, membership of cooperative society, monthly income and access to extension agent, while the main factors influencing its adoption were marital status, age, access to credit, membership of cooperative society, farm size and income. Efforts at dissemination of aeroponics farming system for increased productivity should be intensified for its effective adoption by the farmers.
A 3D VIRTUAL TRY-ON METHOD WITH GLOBAL-LOCAL ALIGNMENT AND DIFFUSION MODEL
Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2024

description: 3D virtual try-on has recently received more attention due to its great practical and commercial value. However, there remains the problems that the garment cannot accurately correspond to a human body by geometric transformation and abnormal textures may be produced in the synthesis result. To address these issues, a 3D virtual try-on method with globallocal alignment and diffusion model is proposed. The globallocal alignment module is designed for more accurate garment warping, combined with the guidance of an “after-tryon” semantic map alignment. Then, a diffusion model is introduced to design a try-on synthesizer that can not only avoid producing abnormal textures but also enhance the quality of textures produced in edge regions. Experiments on existing datasets show that our method outperforms the state-of-theart methods.

description: The focus of this research is on how the position of competitiveness of Indonesian rubber exports among ASEAN countries and the dominant factors causing the competitiveness of Indonesian rubber exports experienced a downward. Approach to measuring rubber export competitiveness uses the Lafay Index, and factors that affect the competitiveness using the Diamond model by using panel data analysis method. The results show that there has been a decline in the competitiveness of Indonesia's rubber exports to ASEAN countries, the greatest decline in competitiveness that occurred in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. Factors that affect Indonesia's export competitiveness that is more dominant are a foreign direct investment, price levels, and interest rates. FDI should be directed at improving the quality of export products following the quality of ISNR and upgrading the quality of rubber export products from SIT 20, and directly more beneficial for the manufacture of goods for final consumers.

description: Abstract

Clearing the airways is crucial for improving lung function and can be achieved by physical or mechanical methods. The Acapella device is commonly used to clear the airways, by combining oscillations with positive expiratory pressure to reduce mucus adhesion and airway collapsibility, resulting in clear airways. However, without feedback, the optimum therapy cannot be achieved. In this paper, we aim to integrate biofeedback into the Acapella device to enhance its efficacy. We added flow and pressure sensors and a power source to the apparatus to allow for precise measurement and effective signal processing. The graphical user interface displays pressure and mass flow over time, allowing users to monitor and evaluate their exhaled air properties.  Our team successfully developed this prototype without altering the device's fundamental principles. The live graphic serves as biofeedback for the patient, with a red zone indicating underperformance or being too high and a green zone representing the accepted performance range.  Our innovative device is user-friendly and transparent and delivers optimal therapy at the point of care. This motivates patients to perform better and achieve effective treatment outcomes.
