description: The electron deficient substrate; 2-[(1-chloro-3-oxoprop-1-en-1-yl)amino]-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidine-5-carbonitrile (1) was utilized as building block for construction of some novel heterocyclic rings bearing pyrimidine nucleus. β-Chloroenaldehyde derivative 1 was allowed to react with a diversity of 1,3-N,N-binucleophilic reagents producing some heterocyclic systems namely triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidine, pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazole, pyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidine and pyrimido[2,1-c][1,2,4]triazine. Reaction of β-chloroenaldehyde 1 with some 1,3-C,N-binucleophiles produced pyridines, pyrido[1,2-a]benzimidazole, pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine and pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine incorporating pyrimidine moiety through NH linkage. Condensation of β-chloroenaldehyde 1 with some cyclic active methylene compounds namely dimedone and barbituric acid afforded chromen-2-ylaminopyrimidine and pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine. Moreover, β-chloroenaldehyde 1 reacted with some 1,4-binucleophiles namely o-phenylenediamine, 1,6-diaminopyridone, o-aminophenol and o-aminothiophenol leading to benzodiazepine, pyrido[1,2-b][1,2,4]triazepine, benzoxazepine and benzothiazepine bearing the pyrimidine moiety through NH linkage. The antimicrobial evaluation of the synthesized compounds appeared variable inhibitory effect toward the tested microorganisms. Structures of the new synthesized products were established based on their analytical and spectral data.

description: We outline new data on non-tariff measures (NTMs) in agricultural trade collected as part of the NTM-Impact project. The data cover product and process standards, conformity assessment measures, and country requirements for the EU and 10 other countries. We create a Heterogeneity Index of Trade (HIT) regulations to aggregate data on different measures, and estimate the impact of regulatory heterogeneity on trade using a gravity framework. Our results suggest that differences in standards reduce trade in beef and pig meat, but have little impact on trade in other agri-food products.

Diagnosis. Length: 4.30–4.80 mm; width: 3.20–3.60 mm. Form (Fig. 160a) elongate oval, dorsum weakly convex and glabrous. Ground colour of head and pronotum whitish creamy yellow, elytra creamy yellow. Head with a basal, medially emarginate black macula. Pronotum with seven black spots roughly forming a W-shaped pattern. Elytra immaculate, creamy yellow to yellow. Abdominal postcoxal line incomplete with an oblique associated line (Fig. 160b, c). Male genitalia (Fig. 160d–g) as illustrated. Female genitalia (Fig. 160h) as illustrated, spermatheca (Fig. 160i) having a distinct ramus but nodulus not well differentiated, infundibulum absent.
Distribution. India (Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Sikkim, Uttarakhand, West Bengal); Eastern Himalayas; Bhutan; Nepal; Myanmar.
Prey/associated habitat. Hemiptera: Aphidoidea: Adelges sp., Eriosoma lanigerum (Hausmann). Collected on apple.
Seasonal occurrence. Collected during July–September from Sikkim.
Notes. Forms of O. conglobata with obsolete elytral pattern look remarkably like O. signatella as the pronotum has the same number of spots, but the latter has a much more restricted distribution. This is the only species of Indian Oenopia in which the spermatheca has a comparatively shorter but distinct ramus that is not distally swollen and indistinct nodulus and the infundibulum is absent. However, the male genitalia are of typical Oenopia form. Bielawski (1979) and Poorani (2002b) treated it in more detail. Ren et al. (2009) and Yu (2010) included it in their works on Chinese Coccinellini.

description: Recently, it has been shown how shift and ballistic currents in piezoelectric sillenite crystals Bi$_{12}$GeO$_{20}$ and Bi$_{12}$SiO$_{20}$ can be separated experimentally under the assumption that the shift component of the circular current is small. However, it has been claimed that the shift and ballistic currents cannot be quantified by this method, due to the magneto-photovoltaic effect caused either by the change of the crystal's spatial symmetry in the magnetic field or by the breaking of time-reversal symmetry. Presently, we report observations of photovoltaic currents in Bi$_{12}$SiO$_{20}$, excited by linearly- and circularly-polarized light under weak external magnetic field, as well as measurements of the corresponding photo-Hall signals. We demonstrate that the magneto-photovoltaic current constitutes a significant fraction of the measured current in the Hall direction for Bi$_{12}$SiO$_{20}$ under specific experimental conditions.

A grim fairy tale : a mythopoetic discorse on taboo, trauma and anti-oppressive pedagogy
Creators: name: Kirkland, Kevin Harvey
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This dissertation is a critical, performative exploration and analysis of mother-son incest as a site for educational inquiry. Particular attention is given to the sexual abuse of gay males. The text challenges and re-enacts personal and social perceptions of taboos as spaces of silence, trauma, and transformation, drawing on discourses of anti-oppressive pedagogy and narratives of healing. My views of anti-oppressive pedagogy, influenced by Freire, Kumashiro, and others, trouble taboos as personal, political, and cultural narratives. This inter/play of texts serves to acknowledge painful histories associated with incest and, on a conceptual level, to explore secrets, silences and shame around sexual abuse inbedded in cultural curriculum. Curriculum stems from currere meaning "to run," as in a course, and narrative stems from narrare meaning to make known. When both terms are juxtaposed they suggest a running from knowing. What if traumatic sexual abuse histories were placed at the center of pedagogical inquiry? Presented as a work of fiction, my dissertation is informed by an extensive literature review of motherson incest. The image of a mother as a perpetrator of sexual abuse is antithetical to mythohistoric constructions of motherhood. Literature on incest reveals that men are less often viewed as abuse victims, that gay men experience much higher histories of abuse than heterosexuals, that homosexuality and early childhood sexual abuse may be correlated, and that both homosexuality and sexual abuse remain acutely silenced topics in education. All of this generates a lifelong sequelae of problems for male survivors. Trauma necessitates a critical and creative reconsideration of educational research as a site of narrative inquiry and healing. The methodology I employed is mythopoetics presented in the form of a fairy tale within a play. Drawing on the fairy tale genre's tradition as a vehicle for imparting moral and ethical messages, the encompassing play creates a forum for dialogue and disruption of the tale. Music, art, and photographs are integrated into the text to augment the mythopoetic presentation. Mythopoetics becomes an avenue of make believe and a framework for anti-oppressive pedagogy. If education is about learning new ways of being and becoming in the world, we need to re/collect difficult subjects in order to transform lived experiences of learners.

description: The evolutionary reason for the increase in gene length from archaea to prokaryotes to eukaryotes observed in large scale genome sequencing efforts has been unclear. We propose here that the increasing complexity of protein-protein interactions has driven the selection of longer proteins, as longer proteins are more able to distinguish among a larger number of distinct interactions due to their greater average surface area. Annotated protein sequences available from the SWISS-PROT database were analyzed for thirteen eukaryotes, eight bacteria, and two archaea species. The number of subcellular locations to which each protein is associated is used as a measure of the number of interactions to which a protein participates. Two databases of yeast protein-protein interactions were used as another measure of the number of interactions to which each \emph{S. cerevisiae} protein participates. Protein length is shown to correlate with both number of subcellular locations to which a protein is associated and number of interactions as measured by yeast two-hybrid experiments. Protein length is also shown to correlate with the probability that the protein is encoded by an essential gene. Interestingly, average protein length and number of subcellular locations are not significantly different between all human proteins and protein targets of known, marketed drugs. Increased protein length appears to be a significant mechanism by which the increasing complexity of protein-protein interaction networks is accommodated within the natural evolution of species. Consideration of protein length may be a valuable tool in drug design, one that predicts different strategies for inhibiting interactions in aberrant and normal pathways.

description: What processes can explain how very large populations are able to converge on the use of a particular word or grammatical construction without global coordination? Answering this question helps to understand why new language constructs usually propagate along an S-shaped curve with a rather sudden transition towards global agreement. It also helps to analyze and design new technologies that support or orchestrate self-organizing communication systems, such as recent social tagging systems for the web. The article introduces and studies a microscopic model of communicating autonomous agents performing language games without any central control. We show that the system undergoes a disorder/order transition, going trough a sharp symmetry breaking process to reach a shared set of conventions. Before the transition, the system builds up non-trivial scale-invariant correlations, for instance in the distribution of competing synonyms, which display a Zipf-like law. These correlations make the system ready for the transition towards shared conventions, which, observed on the time-scale of collective behaviors, becomes sharper and sharper with system size. This surprising result not only explains why human language can scale up to very large populations but also suggests ways to optimize artificial semiotic dynamics.

description: The public demand for ecosystem services measured by willingness to pay (WTP) in contingent valuation studies provides important information for designing Payment-for-Ecosystem-Service (PES) programs. However, the hypothetical markets for contingent valuation and respondents’ unfamiliarity with certain ecosystem services may increase their preference uncertainty, which may increase variance and even cause bias in WTP estimates. Taking advantage of a unique stated preference data set that includes a follow-up question rating the respondent’s certainty level, this study evaluates alternative methods of modeling certainty-adjusted WTP for cleaner lakes and abated global warming. Results suggest that the incorporation of self-reported uncertainty into binary choice models significantly reduces the median WTP and appears to improve our understanding of the demand for ecosystem services.

description: Highly nonlinear optical phenomena can provide access to properties of electronic systems which are otherwise difficult to access through conventional linear optical spectroscopies. In particular, high harmonic generation (HHG) in crystalline solids is strikingly different from that in atomic gases, and it enables us to access electronic properties such as the band structure, Berry curvature, and valence electron density. Here, we show that polarization-resolved HHG measurements can be used to probe the transition dipole moment (TDM) texture in momentum space in two dimensional semiconductors. TDM is directly related to the internal structure of the electronic system and governs the optical properties. We study HHG in black phosphorus, which offers a simple two-band system, with bandgap resonant excitation. We observed a unique crystal-orientation dependence of the HHG yields and polarizations and succeeded in reconstructing the TDM texture related to the inter-atomic bonding structure. Our results demonstrate the potential of high harmonic spectroscopy for probing electronic wavefunctions in crystalline solids.

description: We predict that unpolarized charge current driven through the longitudinal leads attached to ballistic quantum-coherent two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in semiconductor heterostructure will induce a {\em pure} spin current, which is not accompanied by any net charge flow, in the transverse voltage probes. Its magnitude can be tuned by the Rashba spin-orbit (SO) interaction and, moreover, it is resilient to weak spin-independent scattering off impurities within the metallic diffusive regime. While the polarization vector of the spin transported through the transverse leads is not orthogonal to the plane of 2DEG, we demonstrate that only two components (out-of-plane and longitudinal) of the transverse spin current are signatures of the spin Hall effect in four-probe Rashba spin-split semiconductor nanostructures. The linear response spin Hall current, obtained from the multiprobe Landauer-B\" uttiker scattering formalism generalized for quantum transport of spin, is the Fermi-surface determined nonequilibrium quantity whose scaling with the 2DEG size $L$ reveals the importance of processes occurring on the spin precession {\em mesoscale} $L_{\rm SO}$ (on which spin precesses by an angle $π$)--the out-of-plane component of the transverse spin current exhibits quasioscillatory behavior for $L \lesssim L_{\rm SO}$ (attaining the maximum value in 2DEGs of the size $L_{\rm SO} \times L_{\rm SO}$), while it reaches the asymptotic value in the macroscopic regime $L \gg L_{\rm SO}$. Furthermore, these values of the spin Hall current can be manipulated by the measuring geometry defined by the attached leads.

Diagnosis. Length: 2.50–3.00 mm. Form small, broad oval, dorsum moderately convex, glabrous. Ground colour pale creamy yellow; pronotum with a pair of oblique oval median black spots above posterior margin; scutellar shield black; elytra with a vase-shaped elongate sutural macula and three black spots on each elytron in the nominate form (Fig. 161c, e), elytral pattern variable with the spots fused or reduced as illustrated (Fig. 161a, b, d). Male genitalia (Fig. 161f–h) as illustrated.
Distribution. India (Uttarakhand); Eastern Himalayas; Nepal; Bhutan.
Seasonal occurrence. Collected in April (label data).
Notes. Canepari (2012) synonymized O. smetanai with O. flavidbrunna, apparently unaware that Kovář (2007) treated O. flavidbrunna as a junior synonym of O. billieti which is also incorrect. Here Oenopia smetanai is removed from synonymy with Oenopia flavidbrunna Jing, 1986 and treated as a valid species (status revised) because the male genitalia of O. flavidbrunna illustrated by Jing (1986) are totally different from those of O. smetanai and the body outline of O. flavidbrunna illustrated by Yu (2010) is also more elongate oval and different from the short oval form of O. smetanai.

description: Following shock breakout, the emission from an astrophysical explosion is dominated by the radiation of shock heated material as it expands and cools, known as shock cooling emission (SCE). The luminosity of SCE is proportional to the initial radius of the emitting material, which makes its measurement useful for investigating the progenitors of these explosions. Recent observations have shown some transient events have especially prominent SCE, indicating a large radius that is potentially due to low mass extended material. Motivated by this, we present an updated analytic model for SCE that can be utilized to fit these observations and learn more about the origin of these events. This model is compared with numerical simulations to assess its validity and limitations. We also discuss SNe 2016gkg and 2019dge, two transients with large early luminosity peaks that have previously been attributed to SCE of extended material. We show that their early power-law evolution and photometry are well matched by our model, strengthening support for this interpretation.

description: On the basis of grey correlation analysis, 8 factors impacting grain production prominently as follows are selected to establish indices system: yield per unit（X1）, grain planting area（X2）, agricultural labor forces(X3), the total power of agricultural machinery (X4), using amount of fertilizer(X5), the damaged area of crops（X6）, effective irrigation area（X7）, and agricultural fixed assets investment（X8）. According to the relevant data of Inner Mongolia Statistical Yearbook from 1988 to 2008, we use the method of grey correlation analysis to analyze the factors impacting grain production in Inner Mongolia, quantify the correlation degree of the total grain output and all factors, and finally conclude the impacting capacity of all factors on grain production in the light of correlation degree value. The results show that yield per unit still is the principal factor impacting the total output of grain in Inner Mongolia; the area of grain planting and the area of affected crops are the two most important factors responsible for the decrease of grain output; effective irrigation area the total power of agricultural machinery are the two primary factors impacting the increase of grain output; the using amount of fertilizer shows dwindling impact on grain production; agricultural fixed assets investment still hovers at the minuscule impact degree on grain production.

description: Quantitative estimation of the ecological footprint in Xingtai City in the years 2003-2009 is carried out by using the Ecological Footprint Model and the Time Series. Result shows that the per capita ecological footprint demand increases in Xingtai City from the year 2003 to 2009; and land use for energy shows a significant increase, accounting for the maximum proportion in per capita ecological footprint demand. Per capita ecological footprint supply gradually decreases. Ecological supply provided by cultivated land occupies the greatest proportion in the supply of per capita ecological carrying capacity, which is the main factor determining the supply of ecological carrying capacity in Xingtai City. In the years 2003-2009, ecological footprint of Xingtai City is at the state of ecological deficit. This indicates that the economic and social development of Xingtai City is based on the over-exploitation of resources, especially the cultivated land and energy land. Thus, the development mode of Xingtai City has already been in a state of unsustainable development. Based on this, corresponding countermeasures are put forward for the sustainable development in future, so as to implement the healthy control of the sustainable development in Xingtai City, China.

description: Ternary composites of polyaniline-acetylene black-manganese cobaltite were synthesized with different weight ratios. The optimized weight ratio of aniline, acetylene black, manganese cobaltite is found to be 4:1:2 (PAMC1) based on electrochemical performances. PAMC1 based two-electrode cell had the highest specific capacitance of 264 Fg−1 at 1 mA. PAMC1 has the highest coulombic efficiency of 99.41%. PAMC1 has the highest specific energy and power of 23.47 Wh kg−1 and 102.91 W kg−1 at 1 mA. Capacitance retention of PAMC1 after 5000 cycles is 90%. PAMC1 has a reasonably low charge transfer resistance of 2 Ω.

description: Abstract: This essay is an evaluation of year one of the Rural Business Development (RBD) program for small rice farmers in León, Nicaragua. The RBD program is administered by the Millennium Challenge Corporation, and is designed to deliver agricultural extension advice and affordable credit in the form of inputs to farm households. This essay estimates the average impact of the program on rice yields and revenues utilizing inverse propensity score weighting combined with linear regression. In conducting statistical inference, it also accounts for the fact that agricultural outcomes are likely correlated over space in a small area such as the one studied here. The results suggest that the program had no impact on average, likely due to the presence of a severe drought during the 2008 – 2009 rice growing season, but that poorer households may have done better than their wealthier counterparts. This does not account for program costs, which when factored in would surely make the overall net benefit of the program negative. There may very well be long term benefits to exploiting extension advice and better access to credit created by the RBD program, and the it appears to have shielded poorer farmers somewhat from the impact of the drought. But the results highlight the danger of introducing programs aimed at raising productivity and incomes in areas subject to system unanticipated shocks. Incorporating risk management techniques or insurance against systemic risk into extension programs may improve welfare and encourage broader participation in agricultural productivity programs going forward.
Analysis of the orgyia pseudotsugata multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus IE1 acidic activation domain role in viral DNA replication

description: Baculovirus Orgyia pseudotsugata multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (OpMNPV) transient replication assays have previously identified six genes as essential iel, lef-1, lef-2, lef-3, DNA pol, helicase; three genes as stimulatory ie2, p34, iap-1; and two types of replication origins hrs and non-hrs. One of these essential proteins IE1, has an acidic activation domain (AAD) at the N-terminus that is required for transcriptional transactivation but its role in viral DNA replication was unknown. In this study we have determined that the AAD is also essential for DNA replication. Unlike transcriptional activation, the AAD cannot be replaced with the AcMNPV IE1 and herpesvirus VP 16 AADs for replication. Deletion analysis of the OpMNPV IE 1-AAD revealed the presence of separate sub-domains for replication and transcriptional activation. By substituting OpMNPV lef-1, -2, -3 and helicase proteins (part of the putative replisome) with corresponding AcMNPV factors, the inactive OpMNPV IE1 chimeric protein IE 1-Ac AD, which contains the AcMNPV IE1 AAD, was functional for replication activation. This suggests that AADs interact with viral replication factors in order to maintain viral specificity in replication. The IE 1-Ac AD specificity for the AcMNPV replisome was found to be similar to the native AcMNPV IE1, thus demonstrating that by changing the AAD the specificity of the protein changes. Further studies showed that the role of stimulatory factor OpMNPV IE2 in replication was to maintain the specificity between AAD and the replisome. Absence of IE2 allowed replication from non-specific AAD and replisome but presence of IE2 active replication was observed only between specific AAD and replisome. AcMNPV non-hr origin analysis indicated that it was unable to allow for replication with OpMNPV IE1 and OpMNPV replication proteins; however substituting with AcMNPV LEF-3, POL and HELICASE, resulted in replication. This result reveals the presence of specific interactions between origins and replication factors. Our studies on OpMNPV IEO, the only spliced gene of IE1, showed that IEO is functionally active for replication and can replace IE1. We also performed initial functional analysis of OpMNPV EXONO. To date there is no information on OpMNPV EXONO function other than the fact that it contributes 23aa to the N-terminus of IEO. Our study shows EXONO has a conserved novel ring finger and is expressed as a late gene. However, our preliminary research could not identify any function attributable to EXONO.

description: The sulfated polyborate catalyzed an efficient and chemoselective N-tert-butyloxycarbonylation of amines under ultrasonic irradiation is developed. A broad substrate scope has been demonstrated for N-Boc protection of various primary/secondary amines. It allows converting several aliphatic/aryl/heteroaryl amines, amino alcohol, aminoester, and chiral amines to their N-Boc-protected derivatives under solvent-free conditions with excellent yields. The protocol has several advantages such as easy catalyst, and product isolation, short reaction time, excellent yields, outstanding chemoselectivity, and catalyst recyclability, among others. This makes the process practicable, economical, and environmentally benign.
