description: We developed a new phage-typing method and evaluated its application in combination with XbaI macrorestriction analysis by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) as a useful tool for the long-term epidemiology of Salmonella enterica serovar Infantis. In this study, we investigated 1008 S. Infantis isolates recovered from humans, various animal species and food products from 1973 to 2009. The typing scheme is based on 17 typing phages, defining 61 different patterns within the strain collection. The experiments showed that phage typing is a reliable method for differentiation of outbreaks and sporadic clinical cases as well as for elucidation of chains of transmission. The combined analysis of phage typing and PFGE revealed the existence of epidemic clones with a high stability over time like PT29/XB27 which was identified in nosocomial salmonellosis, community outbreaks as well as in broiler chickens from 2002 to 2009.

description: Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) has been recognised as a worldwide emerging pathogen associated with severe respiratory symptoms since 2009. We here report EV-D68 detection in hospitalised patients with acute respiratory infection admitted to three tertiary hospitals in Germany between January 2013 and December 2014. From a total of 14,838 respiratory samples obtained during the study period, 246 (1.7%) tested enterovirus-positive and, among these, 39 (15.9%) were identified as EV-D68. Infection was observed in children and teenagers (0–19 years; n=31), the majority (n=22) being under five years-old, as well as in adults > 50 years of age (n=8). No significant difference in prevalence was observed between the 2013 and 2014 seasons. Phylogenetic analyses based on viral protein 1 (VP1) sequences showed co-circulation of different EV-D68 lineages in Germany. Sequence data encompassing the entire capsid region of the genome were analysed to gain information on amino acid changes possibly relevant for immunogenicity and revealed mutations in two recently described pleconaril binding sites.

description: Single-stranded positive-sense RNA viruses commonly rearrange host cell organelle membranes into neo-organelles which are involved in virus replication and assembly. These organelles serve to concentrate viral and host factors as well as to conceal viral RNA replication activities from host cell surveillance. To date, many virus-induced membrane rearrangements have been studied by targeted electron tomographic (ET) imaging of specific viral structures at timepoints of known interest. However, the broad cellular context within which these membrane modifications occur and how they change over time are not well understood. A question spanning many virus families is the morphological mechanism of formation of membrane rearrangements. Additionally, it is largely unknown how the membrane modifications affect the morphology of the organelle of origin. In this study, we address specific questions about virus-derived organelles induced by two positive-sense RNA viruses: the coronavirus mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) and the alphavirus Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV). Utilizing serial sectioning and montage imaging for ET, volumes representing approximately 10% of virus-infected cells were imaged and detailed organelle analysis was performed. Using MHV-infected cells, we demonstrate that coronavirus-induced double-membrane vesicles (DMVs) are formed by budding from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and are trafficked to lysosomes for degradation. The ER remains largely morphologically normal early in infection despite the presence of hundreds of DMVs; however, late in infection, virus envelopment in the ER lumen leads to loss of cisternal morphology. For the alphavirus VEEV, we analyze the structure and origin of virus-derived cytopathic vacuoles II (CPVII). We identify four distinct morphological forms of CPVII and provide evidence that all four forms are derived from the Golgi apparatus. Additionally, a protocol is outlined for a newly-developed method for improved cell ultrastructure during genetically-encoded peroxidase tagging of membrane-proteins. This method is also amenable to ET. Overall, this work provides morphological cellular context for virus-induced membrane rearrangements from two families of positive-sense RNA viruses. Analysis of virus-host cell interactions from this large-scale ultrastructural perspective has the potential to lead to new approaches and strategies to combat current and future viral diseases.

description: Enhancements of gas turbine engines efficiency are critical for the development of the next generation of clean and efficient aircraft. With the increase in combustion temperatures, cooling of the turbine blades poses one of the most important thermal management issues. The current and most adopted solution is to flow cooling air bled from the compressor through channels inside turbine blades. Fuel preheating, meant to increase combustion efficiency, could be used to cool such air flow in fuel-air heat exchangers. However, when fuel thermodynamic states approach supercritical pressures and temperatures, large amplitude oscillations have been known to occur with catastrophic hardware failures. For this reason, the use of supercritical fuels in fuel-air heat exchangers has been avoided, thereby reducing the fuel's cooling potential and the overall efficiency of the aircraft. Engine manufacturers desire a model capable of predicting the onset of such disruptive thermoacoustic oscillations. To this goal, we study theoretically and numerically transcritical thermoacoustic oscillations, i.e., thermoacoustic instabilities manifesting themselves when a fluid is heated close to its critical point, where abrupt changes of thermodynamic properties appear. Details of this work will be on the development of a transcritical thermoacoustic theory and on numerical results from linear stability analysis and high-fidelity Navier-Stokes simulations. Meeting the needs of industry and with the intent of pushing technological and scientific barriers, we propose to exploit such powerful oscillations for energy conversion through the use of the first-ever-built transcritical thermoacoustic engine.

description: Preview of "Introduction" to The Yearbook of English Studies 47 (2017), Walter Scott: New Interpretations.  Just over half a century ago, Marxist critic Georg Lukács proposed that Walter Scott — writing more than a century earlier — was responsible for a new kind of historical narrative: readers, by identifying with everyday kinds of fictional characters, ‘could re-experience the social and human motives which led men [and women] to think, feel and act just as they did in historical reality’.1 That argument, according to which fiction does much more than remember cultural history through telling tales, because in addition it conveys a sense of thought and feeling, should at least have ensured Scott a renewed place in Romantic studies. If Wordsworth and Coleridge’s Lyrical Ballads synthesized older (even ancient) poetry of feeling with narrative storytelling to make something bold and experimental, Scott did something similar with historical fiction in the form of the long narrative poem and in prose. All three of these first-generation Romantics believed in the power of remembering, during which the imagination could re-create feelings from the past, to improve their own and a future world.2 Wordsworth added that such recreated feeling, based in intense personal experience, ‘does itself actually exist in the mind’. Scott’s achievement, according to Lukács, was to recover socially embedded feeling from beyond the boundaries of personal experience because located in the deeper past, but still in such a way that individuals could experience it in their minds. Through a figurative form of time travel, then, people could relate more sympathetically to one another and establish a better society, responding to understanding produced by feelings as well as by thought . . .  [for the full article see The Yearbook of English Studies 47 (2017) in hard copy or on JSTOR]

description: Literature in Singapore is written in the country’s four official languages: Chinese, English, Malay, and Tamil. Since 1999, with the state’s implementation of the Renaissance City Plan to revitalize arts and culture in Singapore, there have been various initiatives to increase the visibility of contemporary Singaporean writing both within the country itself and on an international scale. Translation plays a key role in bridging the linguistic and literary divides wrought by the state’s mother tongue policies, with several works by Cultural Medallion winners in different languages translated into English, which remains at present the shared language in Singapore. Literary anthologies are also invaluable forms through which the concepts of a national literature and national identity are expressed and negotiated. Writings about gender and sexuality have also become more prominent in single-author collections or edited anthologies, with writers exploring various inventive and experimental narrative forms. A number of poets and writers are also established playwrights, and theater has historically been and continues to be an extremely vital form of creative expression and cultural production. Graphic novels, crime and noir fiction, and speculative and science fiction publications are also on the rise, with the awarding of the Singapore Literature Prize to Sonny Liew’s The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye signaling that these genres merit serious literary consideration.

description: A fundamental understanding of heterogeneous catalysis requires analysis of model catalytic surfaces in tandem with complex technical catalysts. This work was divided in three areas, 1- preparation and characterization of model surfaces synthesized by vapor deposition techniques, 2- kinetic evaluation of model catalysts for formic acid decomposition and dry methane reforming, 3- characterization and kinetic evaluation of technical catalysts for the water gas shift reaction. In the first project, model PdZn intermetallic surfaces, a relevant catalyst for propane dehydrogenation, were prepared using an ALD approach. In this work, model surfaces were synthesized by exposing Pd(111) and Pd(100) surfaces to diethylzinc at ca. 10-6 mbar. Several different surface structures were identified by careful control of the deposition temperature of the substrate. Modifications in the adsorption properties of these surfaces towards carbon monoxide and propylene coincided with the structure of the PdZn surface layer. In the second project, formic acid decomposition kinetics were evaluated on model Pt catalysts. Formic acid decomposition was found to be structure-insensitive on Pt(111), Pt(100), and a polycrystalline foil under standard reaction conditions. CO selectivity remained < 1% for conversions <10%. Additionally, inverse Pd-Zr model catalysts were prepared by ALD of zirconium-t-butoxide (ZTB). Depending on treatment conditions, either ZrOxHy or ZrO2 overlayers or Zr as sub-nanometer clusters could be obtained. The activity of the model catalyst surface towards dry reforming of methane if the initial state of the zirconium is metallic. In the third project, Au/Fe3O4 heterodimer catalysts were characterized for their thermal stability. In-situ TEM and XPS characterization demonstrates that the gold nanoparticles transform into gold thin films that wet the Fe3O4 surface as the reduction of the oxide proceeds. DFT calculations show that the adhesion energy between the Au film is increased on a partially reduced Fe3O4 surface. Additionally, Pt/Nb2CTx catalysts were characterized and kinetics evaluated for the water gas shift reaction. XPS and TEM characterization indicates that a Pt-Nb surface alloy is formed under moderate reduction temperatures, 350OC. Water-gas shift reaction kinetics reveal that the alloy-MXene interface exhibit high H2O activation ability compared to a non-reducible support or bulk niobium carbide.

description: This essay intervenes in current ecocritical debates about the relationship between fiction and environmental risk by analyzing the limits of risk theory in the deep time of the Anthropocene. Although contemporary ecocriticism argues that we must move from apocalyptic depictions of risk to realistic ones, this essay examines fictions of nuclear waste commissioned by the Department of Energy to show that a risk-based realism is used to maintain the status quo of settler colonialism. It then turns to a countermodeling of the futures of nuclear waste by Leslie Marmon Silko in Almanac of the Dead (1991), where uranium’s longue durée future, impossible to imagine from a human perspective, recasts the present as a space in which the unlikely, implausible, and unrealistic saturate the everyday. For Silko, the apocalyptic futurelessness that nuclear waste seeds into our present is a vital formal resource for unsettling colonial realism in the contemporary United States.   This article was awarded an honorable mention for the 1921 Prize in American Literature in 2017, for the best article in any field of American literature.   [Duke University Press generously grants journal article authors “the right to post the Author’s own versions (but not the Publisher’s versions) on the Author’s personal website, in the Author’s university repository, and in other open access repositories (noncommercial, and must not directly compete with Duke University Press), with copyright and source information provided along with a link to the published version as soon as it is available.” This article appears in American Literature 89.4 (December 2017): 761-789.

description: Objective: To evaluate the German Diabetes Risk Score (GDRS) among the general adult German population for prediction of incident type 2 diabetes and detection of prevalent undiagnosed diabetes. Methods: The longitudinal sample for prediction of incident diagnosed type 2 diabetes included 3625 persons who participated both in the examination survey in 1997–1999 and the examination survey in 2008–2011. Incident diagnosed type 2 diabetes was defined as first-time physician diagnosis or antidiabetic medication during 5 years of follow-up excluding potential incident type 1 and gestational diabetes. The cross-sectional sample for detection of prevalent undiagnosed diabetes included 6048 participants without diagnosed diabetes of the examination survey in 2008–2011. Prevalent undiagnosed diabetes was defined as glycated haemoglobin ≥6.5% (48 mmol/mol). We assessed discrimination as area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC-AUC (95% CI)) and calibration through calibration plots. Results: In longitudinal analyses, 82 subjects with incident diagnosed type 2 diabetes were identified after 5 years of follow-up. For prediction of incident diagnosed diabetes, the GDRS yielded an ROC-AUC of 0.87 (0.83 to 0.90). Calibration plots indicated excellent prediction for low diabetes risk and overestimation for intermediate and high diabetes risk. When considering the entire follow-up period of 11.9 years (ROC-AUC: 0.84 (0.82 to 0.86)) and including incident undiagnosed diabetes (ROC-AUC: 0.81 (0.78 to 0.84)), discrimination decreased somewhat. A previously simplified paper version of the GDRS yielded a similar predictive ability (ROC-AUC: 0.86 (0.82 to 0.89)). In cross-sectional analyses, 128 subjects with undiagnosed diabetes were identified. For detection of prevalent undiagnosed diabetes, the ROC-AUC was 0.84 (0.81 to 0.86). Again, the simplified version yielded a similar result (ROC-AUC: 0.83 (0.80 to 0.86)). Conclusions: The GDRS might be applied for public health monitoring of diabetes risk in the German adult population. Future research needs to evaluate whether the GDRS is useful to improve diabetes risk awareness and prevention among the general population.

description: Xenotransplantation is a new technology that may help to overcome the shortage of human tissues and organs available for the treatment of tissue and organ failure. Remarkable progress has recently been made in this field. First, understanding of the mechanisms of immunological rejection, mainly of the hyperacute rejection, allowed generating numerous genetically modified pigs to overcome rejection. Second, based on these genetically modified animals and new immunosuppression regimens, long-term survival of non-human primate recipients of heart, kidney, and islet cell cells has been reported. And third, potential zoonotic microorganisms have been identified in pigs and sensitive methods to detect them have been generated. In 2 clinical trials treating diabetic patients with porcine islet cells, no porcine microorganisms were transmitted to human recipients. Furthermore, strategies to eliminate potentially zoonotic microorganisms from donor pigs in order to prevent transmission to the recipients have been developed, including designated pathogen-free (DPF) breeding. In addition, strategies to prevent transmission of porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) have been developed, including a knockout of all proviruses in the pig genome by gene editing. PERVs are integrated in the genome of all pigs and therefore they cannot be eliminated by DPF breeding. Since they are able to infect human cells, they represent a special risk in xenotransplantation. Despite the achievements, some problems remain: numerous genetically multi-modified pigs have been generated without fully evaluating their advantage, and microbiological screening of pigs to be used for transplantations and elimination of pathogenic microorganisms from the donor pigs are still not satisfactory.

description: A Nova Lei de Licitações e Contratos Administrativos (Lei n. 14.133) está em vigor desde 1º de abril de2021, mas apenas com a revogação das leis anteriores que compunham o conjunto normativo sobrecontratações públicas (Lei n. 8.666/1993, n. 10.520/2002 e n. 12.462/2011), ocorrida em 30 de dezembrode 2023, passou a ser utilizada pelos entes federativos em sua inteireza.A nova lei, de caráter nacional, embora não represente mudanças bruscas no paradigma das compraspúblicas, trouxe vários avanços legislativos ao prestigiar o planejamento, a governança e a transparência.Esses elementos se relacionam entre si e formam um arcabouço normativo apto a viabilizar que oprocesso de contratação pública se desenvolva de maneira racional, íntegra e eficiente.As licitações e as contratações públicas sempre foram objeto de estudos por parte da doutrina, osquais foram bastante intensificados com a publicação do novo marco legal. A comissão editorialda revista do Ministério Público de Contas do Estado de Minas Gerais, atenta às mudanças queimpactam diretamente o dia a dia da administração pública e, via de consequência, o controle,decidiu fazer do sétimo número do periódico uma edição especial a respeito da nova lei de licitações,em parceria com a Comissão de Estudos sobre Licitações Públicas do Instituto Brasileiro de DireitoAdministrativo (IBDA), com objetivo de contribuir para as discussões a respeito da nova lei, difundirconhecimento especializado e promover a capacitação dos seus leitores.Assim, membros da referida comissão, da qual fazem parte a procuradora do MPC-MG, Cristina AndradeMelo, editora-chefe da revista Controle em Foco, e a professora Karina Harb, que preside a referidacomissão, além de Carolina Zancaner Zockun, Flávio Garcia Cabral, Gabriela Pércio, Fábio de SouzaSantos e Carlos Henrique Nitão, assinam os artigos que compõem esta edição especial, alguns deles emcoautoria com outros estudiosos do tema.Esperando contribuir para o debate público e para a construção de doutrina a respeito do novo marcolegal de contratações públicas no nosso país, desejamos a todos uma ótima leitura
CHOICE OVERLOAD AND PURCHASE INTENTION AMONG MILLENNIAL RURAL AND URBAN CONSUMERS
Creators: name: Mohan, Soumya
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2020

description: Many researchers have studied the interaction between choice overload and purchase intention resulting in mixed and sometimes contradictory results. This study extended the current knowledge and examined how rurality (rural vs. urban/suburban) among millennial consumers influences choice overload and purchase intention when presented with extensive or limited options. Using both quantitative survey data and qualitative interviews, the author studied consumer experiences to understand choice overload and purchase intention better. Overall, some of the results suggest a statistical difference between rural and urban/suburban participants in their feelings of choice overload. However, many of the results were small and unlikely to be of practical significance. Additionally, the interviews were analyzed and multiple themes emerged, including possible factors that may support prior meta-analytic conclusions about the nuance of choice overload.

Re-collecting Jim. Discovering a name and a slave narrative's continuing truth

Subjects: subject: Slavery

subject: New England

description: In a follow-up installment in 1839 to the anonymously authored Recollections of Slavery by a Runaway Slave, the narrator testifies that a Charleston slave speculator known as "Major Ross" had sold his brother. The narrator notes that Ross lives in "a nice little white house, on the right hand side of King street as you go in from the country towards the market."  The right-hand side? Was that level of precision necessary? Because people challenged the veracity of slave narratives at the time they were published, details mattered very much. But the level of specificity in this instance caught my eye. The facts were borne out: property records in the Charleston County Register Mesne Conveyance Deeds office show that in 1831, a James L. Ross, known also as "Major Ross," purchased a house situated on the west side of King Street, just a few blocks north of the market. If you were entering the city of Charleston from the country, Ross' house would indeed have been on the right-hand side (fig 1).  And so it comes down to that. In order to prove his own humanity, the truth about the human capacity for cruelty, and the very reputation of abolitionist crusaders of the American Anti-Slavery Society, this survivor made his story unassailable by giving the correct location for the speculator's house on King Street in Charleston.
Antigenic and immunosuppressive properties of a trimeric recombinant transmembrane envelope protein gp41 of HIV-1

description: The transmembrane envelope (TM) protein gp41 of the human immunodeficiency virus—1 (HIV-1) plays an important role during virus infection inducing the fusion of the viral and cellular membranes. In addition, there are indications that the TM protein plays a role in the immunopathogenesis leading to the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Inactivated virus particles and recombinant gp41 have been reported to inhibit lymphocyte proliferation, as well as to alter cytokine release and gene expression. The same was shown for a peptide corresponding to a highly conserved domain of all retroviral TM proteins, the immunosuppressive domain. Due to its propensity to aggregate and to be expressed at low levels, studies comprising authentic gp41 produced in eukaryotic cells are extremely rare. Here we describe the production of a secreted, soluble recombinant gp41 in 293 cells. The antigen was purified to homogeneity and characterised thoroughly by various biochemical and immunological methods. It was shown that the protein was glycosylated and assembled into trimers. Binding studies by ELISA and surface plasmon resonance using conformation-specific monoclonal antibodies implied a six-helix bundle conformation. The low binding of broadly neutralising antibodies (bnAb) directed against the membrane proximal external region (MPER) suggested that this gp41 is probably not suited as vaccine to induce such bnAb. Purified gp41 bound to monocytes and to a lesser extent to lymphocytes and triggered the production of specific cytokines when added to normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells. In addition, gp41 expressed on target cells inhibited the antigen-specific response of murine CD8+ T cells by drastically impairing their IFNγ production. To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive analysis of a gp41 produced in eukaryotic cells including its immunosuppressive properties. Our data provide another line of evidence that gp41 might be directly involved in HIV-1 immunopathogenesis through modulation of the cytokine release and active inhibition of immune responses.

description: How does our daily mindreading—that is, our attribution and misattribution of mental states (such as thoughts, feelings, and intentions) to ourselves and others—differ from the mindreading we engage in when we read fiction? I have argued elsewhere (e.g., “Secret Life of Fiction,” PMLA, 2015) that drama, novels, and narrative poetry play and experiment with our mindreading, by “embedding” mental states within mental states at a much greater frequency and intensity than happens either in our daily social interactions or in other written discourses. In this essay, I attempt to historicize this claim, exploring how the pattern of such embedment has changed over time in different national literary traditions, with a brief look at eighteenth-century Russian literature and a particular emphasis on ancient and modern China.

description: This document provides a detailed report on the progress towards the implementation of the

dissemination, exploitation and communication strategy, made in the first year of the EcoPlastiC

project. General framework for implementation of these activities is previously described in the

deliverable D6.1 “Dissemination, Exploitation and Communication (DEC) Plan”.

The report D6.3 uses the similar structure as the DEC Plan, gives overview of the key

dissemination and communication activities during the past year (1 October 2022 – 1 October

2023) and focuses on the main Communication Strategy Elements from the DEC plan.

Communication Strategy Elements have been updated and the main communication formats and

channels are listed and described in the report. The dissemination material produced by the

EcoPlastiC consortium is also presented. Our online dissemination activities are also summarized

together with analytics, showing the use of both the EcoPlastiC website and the relevant Social

Media channels. A number of important relationships have been also established with related

projects and initiatives that will be used for dissemination purposes.

Finally, each data have been put against initial targets and indicators in the Table 6 (pages 35-36)

to measure success of the actions taken so far.

Our exploitation plan has been updated by all EcoPlastiC partners and presented in the Annex 1,

but as it is the first year of the project we expect more significant exploitable outputs in the next

2 years of the project
