description: Topography plays major role in variation of soil properties and nutrient distribution along a non-uniform agricultural landscape. As a result of this, there is a need for sound soil variability knowledge for sustainable agricultural production especially in farmlands with different slope classes. This study aim at assessing the influence of topography on soil properties and classification on a toposequence in Gabari, Zaria. Four pedons were dug across the physiographic positions (crest, upper, middle and valley bottom), soil samples collected from genetic horizon of the pedons were analyzed using standard procedures. The soil colour varies from dark yellowish brown, strong brown to yellowish brown. Sand-dominated the mineral fraction with valley bottom recording highest value (61%). Clay content increases with depth except in the valley bottom. The soils were slightly acidic to neutral in reaction (6.5 – 6.9), organic carbon (3.1-4.4 g/kg), total nitrogen (0.1-0.2 g/kg) and available phosphorus (1.9 - 4.14 mg/kg) were rated low. The soils have moderately inherent natural fertility with moderately exchangeable basic cations (Ca, Mg, K, and Na). Cation exchange capacity (7.3 – 9.7 cmol (+) kg-1) was moderate while the base saturation (55-79%) suggests the soil to be fertile being >50%. Among all the soil properties, sand, silt, available phosphorus and exchangeable acidity were significantly (p>0.05) different across the toposequence. Toposequence also influence the soil types (Alfisols, inceptisols and entisols) with their classification varying from Typic plinthustalf/Eutric Lixisols on the crest to Fluvaquentic Epiaquepts/Endoeutric Fluvisol on the valley bottom based on USDA Soil Taxonomy and World Reference Base 2014.

The derivation of the formula from Parapatric speciation in three islands: dynamics of geographical configuration of allele sharing
Creators: name: Yamaguchi, Ryo

Publisher: name: The Royal Society
Year: 2017

description: We studied the time to speciation by geographical isolation for a species living on three islands connected by rare migration. We assumed that incompatibility was controlled by a number of quantitative loci and that individuals differing in loci by more than a threshold did not mix genetically with each other. For each locus, we defined the geographical configuration (GC), which specifies islands with common alleles, and traced the stochastic transitions between different GCs. From these results, we calculated the changes in genetic distances. As a single migration event provides an opportunity for transitions in multiple loci, the GCs of different loci are correlated, which can be evaluated by constructing the stochastic differential equations of the number of loci with different GCs. Our model showed that the low number of incompatibility loci facilitates parapatric speciation and that migrants arriving as a group shorten the waiting time to speciation compared with the same number of migrants arriving individually. We also discuss how speciation rate changes with geographical structure.

description: Agglomerations and firm performance: who benefits and how much? Regional Studies. Agglomeration can generate gains. If it does, how does it work and how are those gains distributed across agglomerated firms? The paper examines the effect of localization externalities on innovation. Localization externalities are measured as industry specialization or a firm’s co-location in a relatively high own-industry employment region. By analyzing a large dataset of 6697 firms integrated with another regional agglomeration-related dataset, results show that (1) co-location in an agglomeration has a positive influence on a firm’s innovative performance; and (2) firms benefit heterogeneously from agglomerations, with benefits being distributed asymmetrically. Agglomeration gains exist but not all firms benefit equally.

description: The present research examined the psychological reasons behind Americans’ (un)willingness to accept immigrants. Participants read a scenario depicting immigrant groups allegedly expected to arrive in the United States and evaluated how much the immigrants would influence two types of American national values: civic values (e.g., political ideology) and ethnic values (e.g., shared culture and customs). Across three studies, competitive immigrant groups were stereotyped to be untrustworthy and perceived to threaten American civic values, but not ethnic values. Value threat then mediated the predicted competition–prejudice relationship in Study 3. Perceived vulnerability of in-group boundary might specify one motivated cause of derogating immigrants.

description: With rapid urbanisation, millions of people from rural areas have migrated to major cities for employment, leaving their young children at home. This labour migration creates substantial mental and physical challenges for these left-behind children. This study establishes two empirical models for comparing the health status of left-behind children with that of children in rural areas without migrant parents and with that of migrant children in urban areas. Our empirical findings reveal that parental migration negatively affects the height and weight indices of left-behind children. The effects are particularly prominent for younger children, when both parents migrate or when parents migrate out of province.

description: We have investigated polyvinylalcohol stabilized Au and Ag based nanoparticles supported on titania prepared via sol immobilisation for the anaerobic, ambient temperature reforming of methanol with water for the photocatalytic production of hydrogen. The catalytic activity of the Au/TiO2 catalysts was strongly affected by the metal loading and calcination temperature. Here, we report the preparation and use of supported Au–Ag nanoparticles, based on either the co-reduction or the consecutive reduction of the two metals. Au–Ag supported catalysts were more active than monometallic Au and Ag catalysts and the preparation methodology had a pronounced effect in terms of catalytic activity of the Au–Ag catalysts. In fact, using a consecutive reduction where Au was firstly reduced followed by reduction of Ag gave materials which exhibited the highest catalytic performance.

description: The plastidic ATP/ADP transporter (AATP) imports adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from the cytosol into plastids, resulting in an increase in the ATP supply to facilitate the anabolic synthesis in heterotrophic plastids of dicotyledonous plants. In this study, a gene encoding the AATP protein, StAATP, was successfully isolated from potato and transformed into Arabidopsis. Constitutive expression of StAATP significantly increased the starch accumulation in the transgenic plants. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis showed that constitutive expression of StAATP up-regulated the expression of key genes involved in the starch biosynthesis pathway in the transgenic Arabidopsis plants: phosphoglucomutase (AtPGM), ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase) small subunit (AtAGPase-S1 and AtAGPase-S2), AGPase large subunit (AtAGPase-L1 and AtAGPase-L2), granule-bound starch synthase (AtGBSS I and AtGBSS II), soluble starch synthases (AtSSS I, AtSSS II, AtSSS III and AtSSS IV) and starch-branching enzyme (AtSBE I and AtSBE II) genes. Furthermore, the major enzymes involved in starch biosynthesis (AGPase, GBSS, SSS and SBE) exhibited higher catalytic activities in the transgenic plants compared to the wild type. These results indicate that StAATP may improve the starch content of Arabidopsis by up-regulating the expression of the related genes and increasing the activities of the major enzymes involved in starch biosynthesis. All these findings suggest that the StAATP gene may be applied for increasing starch accumulation of plants in the future.

description: Background: Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a potential risk factor for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) progression; however, the impact of antacid therapy (AAT) is under debate. Objective: To evaluate the effect of AAT on IPF progression in pirfenidone-treated patients. Methods: This post hoc analysis included patients with IPF who received pirfenidone in 3 trials (CAPACITY [PIPF-004/PIPF-006] and ASCEND [PIPF-016]). Pulmonary function, exercise tolerance, survival, hospitalizations, and adverse events (AEs) over 52 weeks were analyzed by baseline AAT use. Disease progression was defined as a decrease in forced vital capacity (FVC) of ≥10%, a decrease in 6-min walking distance of ≥50 m, or death over 1 year. Results: Of 623 patients, 44% received AAT. No significant differences were found at 52 weeks (AAT versus non-AAT, respectively) in disease progression (24.9 vs. 30.6%; p = 0.12), all-cause mortality rate (2.9 vs. 4.0%; p = 0.47), IPF-related mortality rate (1.1 vs. 2.0%; p = 0.37), all-cause hospitalization rate (16.1 vs. 18.3%; p = 0.48), or mean change in percent FVC (-2.7 vs. -3.1%; p = 0.44). A relative, but not absolute, FVC decline of ≥10% favored AAT (15 vs. 22%; p = 0.03). Severe gastrointestinal AEs (3.7 vs. 0.9%; p = 0.015) and severe pulmonary infections (3.7 vs. 1.1%; p = 0.035) were more frequent with AAT. Conclusions: AAT and pirfenidone had outcomes comparable to those of pirfenidone alone in patients with IPF, underscoring the need for prospective trials to elucidate the role of AAT with or without antifibrotic drugs as a treatment for IPF.

description: The main goal of WP1 is to collect historical and current data required to produce a fine-scale distribution map of Cystoseira species and identify patterns and trends. Two different and complementary approaches achieve this objective: Collection of current Cystoseira data at a fine spatial scale through the methodology launched by HAO DEMETER and approved by the Consortium. Collection of historical Cystoseira data from scientific published and grey literature, projects or published database and expert opinions. These efforts resulted in two different datasets which are the main components of the Cystoseira geodatabase: An estimation of the frequency (%) and abundance (%) of the Cystoseira species at a transect level confirmed that this type of marine vegetation is fragmented and heterogeneous. The datasets obtained in this task of the project (task 1.1) will be the base of the Tasks 1.2 and 1.3, and the future Deliverables 1.2 and 1.3, aiming at analyzing the distribution of damaged Cystoseira forests and identifying the priority areas for their restoration. 1) Dataset on current Cystoseira distribution; 2) Dataset on historical Cystoseira distribution.

description: Pilot questions: The pretest will include several pilot questions asking participants about their experience of the vignettes (see Measures). If they indicate modifications are necessary for comprehension and comfort (e.g., more information about the partner; too many items is really annoying), these will be considered for the full study (though not necessarily implemented).

Desire items: This is a new scale, based on previous literature. Each item will be examined, within and outside of the others, to see reliability and distribution. Response scale may need to be modified in order to prevent any ceiling or other response censoring effects. Gender differences will be examined for this measure and its items as well. The inclusion of Responsive desire items will be examined closely. Full reliability analyses will be conducted. The desire measure for the baseline vignette will be a primary focus, as it is unmanipulated with respect to expectancies.

Timing: Timing will be assessed for potential necessary changes in a few ways. 1) Certain parts of the study may be shortened to keep the study within the one-hour time limit (e.g., reducing the PANAS). 2) The length of time respondents took to complete each section and for the whole study will be examined to determine acceptable/reasonable time ranges for the Mturk sample (and therefore exclusion criteria for data outside these ranges).

Expectancies: The open-ended expectancies items will be examined to assess whether another specific expectancy should be included in the expectancy list item.

description: The lunar cycle was examined as a potential source of variation in CPUE for the most common commercial reef fish species captured in the Gulf of Mexico. Using fishery observer data for species captured with bottom longline and vertical line gear types, the analyses modeled CPUE with two different approaches: (1) a generalized additive model with cyclic splines to explain nonlinear variations with the 29.5-d lunar cycle; and (2) a generalized linear model using periodic regression with the sine and cosine functions to describe cyclic variations in CPUE. A lunar effect on catch rates was detected for Red Grouper Epinephelus morio and Tilefish Lopholatilus chamaeleonticeps; however, no lunar effect was detected for Yellowedge Grouper Hyporthodus flavolimbatus, Red Snapper Lutjanus campechanus, or Vermilion Snapper Rhomboplites aurorubens based on either method. The lunar effect in the bottom longline fishery differed between species, with increased CPUE consistently predicted to occur near the new moon for Red Grouper and to take place proximal to the full moon for Tilefish. Red Grouper captured with vertical line gear had two CPUE increases predicted around the waxing and waning lunar phases. Inconsistencies in lunar effect between gear types for Red Grouper were present, possibly due to different mechanisms affecting CPUE. Results suggest that lunar cycles influence catch rates for some of the reef fish species examined and should be considered as potential environmental covariates for standardizing nominal CPUE.

description: The grey wolf (Canis lupus) is probably one of the most studied species in Europe. To date, despite the large number of projects that have been addressed to it, few studies have actually been carried out in the Romanian Carpathian. This pioneering study, entirely developed within the WOLFLIFE project (LIFE13 NAT/RO/000205), aimed to assess the ecological role of the predator in Romania, studying its winter feeding ecology and the spatial interaction with the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx). Accomplished during the winter 2014/15, the collection of signs of presence was achieved by performing transects, both standard and occasional, over an area of 1.200 km2. In total, from 270 excrements collected, 135 were selected and analysed to assess the wolf diet. Out of all food types found (n=12), wild boar (Sus scrofa) represented the main preyed species throughout the winter, accounting for 57,9% of biomass ingested, followed by roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) and red deer (Cervus elaphus) at 20% and 13,6%, respectively. Dog (Canis familiaris) ranked fourth accounting for 5,2%. Regarding the species interaction, the overlap of the signs of presence for both species was compared, based on snow tracking data and considering variables such as land cover and elevation. Despite a similar use in habitat and altitude, the species share their territory spatially but not temporally, suggesting that both carnivores share the same trails but use them at different times.

description: Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with methotrexate-vinblastine-doxorubicin-cisplatin (MVAC) is the standard of care for muscle-invasive urothelial bladder cancer. Gemcitabine plus cisplatin (GC) shows similar efficacy with less toxicity in the metastatic setting and has therefore often been used interchangeably with MVAC. We report on the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant GC in patients with locally advanced urothelial cancer. Materials and Methods: We prospectively evaluated 87 patients in 2 centers. Their median age was 68 years. Treatment consisted of 3× GC prior to radical cystectomy. The primary endpoint was pathologic response. The secondary endpoints were safety, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Results: In all, 83 patients finished chemotherapy; 80 patients were evaluable for the primary endpoint. Pathologic complete response (pCR) was achieved in 22.5% and near pCR was seen in 33.7% of the patients. The 1-year PFS rate was 79.5% among those patients achieving ≤pT2 versus 100% among those patients achieving pCR or near pCR (p = 0.041). Five-year OS was 61.8% (95% CI 67.6 to NA). GC was well tolerated. Grade 3/4 toxicities occurred in 38% of the patients. There was no grade 3/4 renal toxicity, febrile neutropenia, or death. Conclusion: Neoadjuvant GC is a well-tolerated regimen. Although the pathologic response is lower than that reported with MVAC, our data support GC as a feasible option in the absence of a prospective randomized comparison, particularly for older patients, since its toxicity is lower than that of MVAC.

description: Butterflies are important pollinators and indicators of environmental health. Habitat destruction and fragmentation caused by developmental activities and poor natural resource management are the main reasons for the drastic decline of butterfly populations throughout the world, and prompt the need for effective conservation management. We assessed the diversity, richness, seasonal distribution and conservation priorities of butterflies in an inner-city parkland habitat (University of Dhaka, Bangladesh) and investigated the biotic, and abiotic factors affecting butterfly diversity. A total of 93 species from 5 families were recorded from January to December 2014. Nymphalidae and Papilionidae were the most and least dominant families in terms of species number. Butterflies across families generally selected nectar plants randomly, although some showed preference towards herbs. Spatial interpolation of butterfly richness indicated that the most suitable area was around Curzon Hall, an area containing different types of vegetation. Precipitation was the only abiotic factor with a significant relationship with butterfly species richness. The establishment of green areas with complex structural vegetation will improve microclimatic conditions for butterflies, promoting healthier urban ecosystems, and the conservation of butterflies and other associated species in inner-city areas.

description: The present study investigated the independent roles of biofilm and external power supply for volatile fatty acids degradation and methane production in the microbial electrolysis cell. Reactors were operated in fed-batch mode in the presence of graphite felt (GF) or titanium rod (Ti) as electrodes, in open circuit (OC, without applied voltage) or closed circuit (CC) conditions, i.e. R1 (Ti + CC), R2 (GF + CC) and R3 (GF + OC). The first-order kinetic analysis of acetate degradation indicated that the presence of GF biofilm and applied voltage in R2 improved the degradation rate of acetate by 23% as compared to R1, while it was only a 7% increment in R3 with GF biofilm. The degradation of butyrate was accelerated by 12% in the first 24 h, whereas there was no enhancement of the propionic acid digestion. Generally, methane yields from the three reactors followed the sequence: R2 > R1 > R3, indicating the positive effect of external power supply on methane generation. High-throughput sequencing revealed that Geobacter sp. could be enriched on conductive GF even without electric stimulation. The clustered Geobacter and Methanosarcina in R2 presented the potential to promote interspecies electron transfer and accelerate substrate utilization and methane production.

description: Carrot is a biennial plant with a nutritionally healthy composition and has long been recognised as an important model for genetic and molecular studies. The present study aimed to identify suitable reference genes for the normalisation of gene expression in carrot roots and leaves at different developmental stages. Three different software tools were applied to detect the stability of expression of nine candidate reference genes. The results showed that the best reference genes differed across tissues and developmental stages. Actin (ACTIN) was recommended as the most stable gene in carrot roots and leaves at all five developmental stages examined. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) appeared to be the least adequate gene, indicating that it should be avoided as a reference gene in carrot. Thus, we suggest ACTIN or different combinations of ACTIN, elongation factor 1α (EF-1α), eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4α (eIF-4α), tubulin β-7 (TUB), or polyubiquitin 10 (UBQ) for the normalisation of gene expression during carrot developmental processes. These results provide guidelines for future work on relative levels of gene expression in carrot using real-time reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR).

description: In nuclear and/or solar applications that involve molten salts, impurities frequently enter the salt as either fission products or via corrosion. Impurities can interact and make complexes, but the impact of such complexation on the properties of the salts and corrosion rates has not been understood. Common impurities in molten salts, such as FLiBe, include Cr, Ni, and Fe. Here, we investigate the complexation of Cr and Ni in FLiBe using molecular dynamics based on a machine learning interatomic potential (MLIP) fitted using the atomic cluster expansion (ACE) method. The MLIP allows us to overcome the challenges of simultaneously needing accurate energetics and long time scale to study complexation. We demonstrate that impurity behavior is more difficult to capture than that of concentrated elements with MLIPs due to less sampling in training data, but that this can be overcome by using active learning strategies to obtain a robust fit. Our findings suggest that there is a weak but potentially significant binding free energy between CrF2 and NiF2 in eutectic FLiBe of -0.112 eV. Under certain conditions this binding creates a significant short-range order between the species and lowers the redox potential of NiF2 in the presence of CrF2 in FLiBe, making Ni dissolution more favorable in the presence of Cr as compared to its dissolution in pure FLiBe. However, we find little impact of this complexation on the diffusivity of Ni and Cr. Overall, the methodology presented here suggests an approach to modeling complexation with MLIPs and suggests that interactions between dissolved cations could be playing a significant role in some salt thermophysical properties.

description: Two new Schiff base silver(I) complexes, {[Ag(L1)][H2O]}∞ (1) and {[Ag(L2)][H2O]}∞ (2), where L1 = 4-((2-diethylaminoethylimino)methyl)phenecarboxylate and L2 = 4-([3-(morpholin-4-yl)propyl]iminomethyl)phenecarboxylate, have been synthesized and characterized. X-ray crystallographic analysis reveals that silver ions in 1 are bridged by L1 to form a one-dimensional zigzag chain, while three silver ions in 2 are linked by L2 to produce a two-dimensional coordination polymer. Guest water molecules in 1 generate a one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded chain. Both 1 and 2 offer high antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus with MIC values of 0.26 and 0.24 mM and to exhibit good inhibitory activity against urease with the respective IC50 values of 3.5 ± 0.1 and 3.8 ± 0.2 μM.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: The Carbon nano tubes (CNT) are potential candidate for many biomedical applications especially in targeted drug delivery for cancer diseases. However the use of CNT has limitations due to its insolubility in aqueous media. The self-assembly of cyclic peptide encased on the CNT has enhanced its dispersion in aqueous medium which extend their applications as anti-bacterial and drug delivery agents. To understand this process, an attempt has been made to investigate the dynamics and stability of trimer cyclic peptide encasing with CNT using classical molecular dynamics. The model cyclic peptide monomer constitutes 14 series of amino acids viz; (cyclo-[(D-ARG-L-VAL-D-ARG-L-THR-D-AGR-L-LYS-D-GLY-L-ARG-D-ARG-L-ILE-D-ARG-L-ILE-D-PRO-L-PRO)]. Each cyclic peptide in the assembly stacking far apart at approximately 15 A0 each other beyond hydrogen bond cut-off distance. The trimer was observed to be stable only over 10ns of entire MD trajectory. But when there is electrostatic interaction between cyclic peptides at 6.5 A0 distance then assembly is stable for entire 50ns . Our result reveals that for a stable assembly, beyond the hydrogen bond cut-off distance, the electrostatic interaction plays significant role.
