description: The effects of long-term use of nicotine per se on cancer risk, in the absence of tobacco extract or smoke, are not clearly understood. This review evaluates the strength of published scientific evidence, in both epidemiological and animal studies, for the potential carcinogenic effects of nicotine per se; that is to act as a complete carcinogen or as a modulator of carcinogenesis. For human studies, there appears to be inadequate evidence for an association between nicotine exposure and the presence of or lack of a carcinogenic effect due to the limited information available. In animal studies, limited evidence suggests an association between long-term nicotine exposure and a lack of a complete carcinogenic effect. Conclusive studies using current bioassay guidelines, however, are missing. In studies using chemical/physical carcinogens or transgenic models, there appears to be inadequate evidence for an association between nicotine exposure and the presence of or lack of a modulating (stimulating) effect on carcinogenesis. This is primarily due to the large number of conflicting studies. In contrast, a majority of studies provides sufficient evidence for an association between nicotine exposure and enhanced carcinogenesis of cancer cells inoculated in mice. This modulating effect was especially prominent in immunocompromized mice. Overall, taking the human and animal studies into consideration, there appears to be inadequate evidence to conclude that nicotine per se does or does not cause or modulate carcinogenesis in humans. This conclusion is in agreement with the recent US Surgeon General’s 2014 report on the health consequences of nicotine exposure.

indole-3-acetic acid

description: Salkowski reagent is often used tool for quantifying the presence of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) among other indoles. It is a mixture of perchloric (HClO4) at 35% concentration and ferric chloride (FeCl3) at a 0.5M concentration (Gang, Sharma and Saraf). Salkowski reagent turns pink in the presence of IAA due to a reaction that forms an IAA complex with Fe3+ and its subsequent reduction (Kamnev, Shchelochkov and Perfiliev). Although one can order perchloric acid from various sources, costs or restrictions may prevent the direct order of perchloric acid. We developed this protocol to produce Salkowski reagent using readily available lab chemicals.

description: Cognitive models propose that both, negative interpretations of ambiguous social situations and ruminative thoughts about social events contribute to the maintenance of social anxiety disorder. It has further been postulated that ruminative thoughts fuel biased negative interpretations, however, evidence is rare. The present study used a multi-method approach to assess ruminative processing following a social interaction (post-event processing by self-report questionnaire and social rumination by experience sampling method) and negative interpretation bias (via two separate tasks) in a student sample (n = 51) screened for high (HSA) and low social anxiety (LSA). Results support the hypothesis that group differences in negative interpretations of ambiguous social situations in HSAs vs. LSAs are mediated by higher levels of post-event processing assessed in the questionnaire. Exploratory analyses highlight the potential role of comorbid depressive symptoms. The current findings help to advance the understanding of the association between two cognitive processes involved in social anxiety and stress the importance of ruminative post-event processing.

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: In this study, the causal nexus between child mortality rate, fertility rate, GDP, household final consumption expenditure, and food production index in Ghana was investigated spanning from 1971 to 2013 using the Autoregressive and Distributed Lag (ARDL) method. The study tested for unit root, ARDL bounds cointegration test, ARDL long-run elasticities, Granger causality, and Variance Decomposition Analysis using Cholesky technique. There was evidence of long-run equilibrium relationship running from fertility rate, food production index, GDP, and household final consumption expenditure to the mortality rate. There was evidence of a bidirectional causality running from household final consumption expenditure to fertility rate. Evidence from the Variance Decomposition Analysis shows that, almost 6% of future fluctuations in mortality rate are due to shocks in the food production index, while 2% of future fluctuations in mortality rate are due to shocks in fertility rate. Evidence from the study shows that the increasing levels of social determinants like Gross Domestic Product and Household final consumption expenditure will help reduce child mortality rates in Ghana. In order to reduce child mortality rates among children under-5, infants and vulnerable in Ghana, there is the need to end hunger and ensure access to safe and nutritious food.

description: Research on the storage stability of antibiotic residues in milk is important for method development or validation, milk quality control and risk assessment during screening, confirmation, qualitative or quantitative analysis. This study was conducted using UPLC-MS/MS to determine the stability of six quinolones – ciprofloxacin (CIP), danofloxacin (DAN), enrofloxacin (ENR), sarafloxacin (SAR), difloxacin (DIF) and flumequine (FLU) – in raw milk stored under various conditions to investigate if quinolones degrade during storage of milk, and finally to determine optimal storage conditions for analysis and scientific risk assessment of quinolone residues in raw milk. The storage conditions included different temperatures and durations (4°C for 4, 8, 24 and 48 h; –20°C for 1, 7 and 30 days; –80°C for 1, 7 and 30 days), thawing temperatures (25, 40 and 60°C), freeze–thaw cycles (1–5), and the addition of different preservatives (sodium thiocyanate, sodium azide, potassium dichromate, bronopol and methanal). Most quinolones exhibited high stability at 4°C for up to 24 h, but began to degrade after 48 h. In addition, no degradation of quinolones was seen when milk samples were stored at –20°C for up to 7 days; however, 30 days of storage at –20°C resulted in a small amount of degradation (about 30%). Similar results were seen when samples were stored at –80°C. Moreover, no losses were observed when frozen milk samples were thawed at 25, 40 or 60°C. All the quinolones of interest, except sarafloxacin, were stable when milk samples were thawed at 40°C once and three times, but unstable after five freeze–thaw cycles. Preservatives affected the stability of quinolones, but the effects differed depending on the preservative and quinolone. The results of this study indicate optimum storage protocols for milk samples, so that residue levels reflect those at the time of initial sample analysis, and should improve surveillance programmes for quinolones in raw milk.

Subjects: subject: Linguistics

description: The article titled “Demonstrative Nouns of ini and aini in Muna Language.” The purpose of this article is to analyze the form, meaning, and function of ini and aini in Muna language. The method used is descriptive qualitative with distributional technique. This method is used to describe and analyze the form, meaning, and function of ini and aini. The results of the analysis found that the form of ini is a base or monomorpheme, while the form of aini is a derivative or polymorpheme which consists of morpheme a- and morpheme aini. In construction of phrase, clause, or sentence generally have the same meaning, namely ‘this’. For instance, O lambu ini damasoe and lambu aini damasoe the meaning is ‘The house will be sold.’ However, when it’s examined more closely, both forms of demonstrative ini and aini in distributional are not interchangeable. For instance, *O lambu aini damasoe dan *Lambu ini damasoe. Both of constructions are ungrammatical caused by form ini has a meaning ‘this’, while form aini means ‘which this’. The bound morpheme a- in aini has a function as a noun marker which pointed in article ini called relative noun marker. Thus, demonstrative aini can stand alone as a minor sentence in the answer sentence, e.g., Question: Hamai bokuku kabasa? ‘Where is my reading book?’ Answer: Aini! ‘This’ < (Here is it!). Demonstrative aini when substituted with ini, the construction became ungrammatical, e.g., Question: Hamai bokuku kabasa? ‘Where is my reading book?’ Answer: *ini. Hereafter, the form ini cannot be formed in more complexes, whereas the form aini can be formed again with another bound morpheme, such as: ainihakanau ‘This is me’, ainihako ‘This is you’, ainihakoomu ‘These are you’, ainihae ‘This is he’, ainihada ‘These are they’, and ainihakasami ‘These are we’.

Subjects: classificationCode: 40

description: This study investigates alternative pathways, dry reforming and cracking, for converting methane into various sustainable energy carriers to better utilise Qatar's natural gas resources. Due to zero greenhouse gas emissions, turquoise hydrogen production from methane cracking is more sustainable than steam methane reforming. Also, co-produced carbon black is valuable and can be marketed to other industries. As it is a high-temperature process, utilizing concentrated solar energy can further improve the sustainability of the process. Three integrated systems based on solar methane cracking are proposed. The conversion routes of turquoise hydrogen into a suitable form for transportation and storage are explored. The utilization of the carbon by-product is studied while ensuring the CO2 emissions are in the low range. The proposed systems are modelled on Aspen Plus® software to obtain the thermodynamic properties. Mass, energy, entropy, and exergy balances are carried out over the system's units. The energy and exergy efficiencies are calculated for the integrated systems. The solar methane cracking subsystem has an energy and exergy efficiency of 82.2% and 92.5%, respectively, including the carbon product as a useful commodity. It is found that the conversion of hydrogen to methanol and dimethyl ether (DME) has higher energy efficiency than hydrogen liquefaction. Furthermore, dry reforming of methane is another alternative process for converting methane to syngas having favourable characteristics compared to steam methane reforming. In this work, Ni-based catalysts are synthesized on halloysite clay support for dry reforming of methane. Various parameters are studied, and their effects on the catalyst performance are analyzed using different characterization techniques. It is found that the acid treatment of the clay can significantly enhance the support surface area and pore size. Ni/AHNT-H2SO4 yields the highest surface area of 176.13 m2/g and the lowest pore size. When compared with other conventional catalysts, it is found that the synthesized catalysts have properties that could lead to superior performance for dry reforming of methane.

description: This paper discusses cultural maintenance and the role of Balinese taboos. Today, the influence of outside societies cannot be avoided because of tourism development in Bali. From the topic concerned, the subjects of the study are taken from professional tourist guides and their family—wives and children. Ideally, Balinese people must be familiar with their own culture and outside societies must be hoped too. However, most of them didn’t know clearly what the culture is. Culture must be maintained by people in general because culture is embodied in religion. The problems are: first, what are the conditions that should be understood by the community to maintain the culture? Second, what are the necessary things that should be known by the community to avoid the Balinese taboos? To solve these problems, the research employed with the cognitive approach. By the cognitive approach data are taken from the informant’s knowledge. Thus, the research revealed new values toward the understanding of Balinese culture because the information came from the insiders’ view.

approach between thesaurus-based approach and corpus-based approach is proposed. First, a bilingual
ontology thesaurus is designed with respect to two languages: English and Spanish, where a simple
bilingual listing of terms, phrases, concepts, and subconcepts is built. Second, term vector translation is
used – a statistical multilingual text retrieval techniques that maps statistical information about term
use between languages (Ontology co-learning). These techniques map sets of t f id f term weights from
one language to another. We also applied a query translation method to retrieve multilingual documents
with an expansion technique for phrasal translation. Finally, we present our findings.

description: Body perception has been extensively investigated, with one particular focus being the integration of vision and touch within a neuronal body representation. Previous studies have implicated a distributed network comprising the extrastriate body area (EBA), posterior parietal cortex (PPC) and ventral premotor cortex (PMv) during illusory self-attribution of a rubber hand. Here, we set up an fMRI paradigm in virtual reality (VR) to study whether and how the self-attribution of (artificial) body parts is altered if these body parts are somehow threatened. Participants (N = 30) saw a spider (aversive stimulus) or a toy-car (neutral stimulus) moving along a 3D-rendered virtual forearm positioned like their real forearm, while tactile stimulation was applied on the real arm in the same (congruent) or opposite (incongruent) direction. We found that the PPC was more activated during congruent stimulation; higher visual areas and the anterior insula (aIns) showed increased activation during aversive stimulus presentation; and the amygdala was more strongly activated for aversive stimuli when there was stronger multisensory integration of body-related information (interaction of aversiveness and congruency). Together, these findings suggest an enhanced processing of aversive stimuli within the amygdala when they represent a bodily threat.

description: This paper presents the results of geomorphological investigations carried out in Basilicata region (Southern Italy) in the sector of the youngest foredeep (Bradano trough) relative to most of the communal territory of Pisticci. The importance of the chosen area mostly lies in the presence of diffuse running-water landforms and landslides affecting urban areas. The geomorphological processes are linked with Quaternary tectonic uplift affecting the Apennine front-Bradanic foredeep sectors. A series of field surveys, supported by aerial photo interpretation, have led to the production of a geomorphological map at 1:35,000 scale which outlines the main processes and related landforms recognised in the study area. The latter are the result of the complex interplay of structural, gravitational and fluvial processes. Particular attention has been devoted to the recognition, identification and mapping of landslides which affect the slope, locally giving rise to hazardous conditions.

description: The rational design of perfluorinated amphiphiles to control the supramolecular aggregation in an aqueous medium is still a key challenge for the engineering of supramolecular architectures. Here, the synthesis and physical properties of six novel non-ionic amphiphiles are presented. The effect of mixed alkylated and perfluorinated segments in a single amphiphile is also studied and compared with only alkylated and perfluorinated units. To explore their morphological behavior in an aqueous medium, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy/electron microscopy (cryo-TEM/EM) measurements are used. The assembly mechanisms with theoretical investigations are further confirmed, using the Martini model to perform large-scale coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. These novel synthesized amphiphiles offer a greater and more systematic understanding of how perfluorinated systems assemble in an aqueous medium and suggest new directions for rational designing of new amphiphilic systems and interpreting their assembly process.

The structure of the synthesized pure HBIW (recrystallization from ethanol) was confirmed by using various spectral techniques like infrared (IR), 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and some of its physical properties. The prepared catalyst was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). In addition, CuFe2O4 MNPs could be reused up to seven runs without any significant loss of activity. Finally, the remarkable advantages of this method are the simple experimental procedure, shorter reaction times, simple workup, and green aspects by avoiding toxic catalysts and high yield of product.

description: This report is Deliverable D4.3 (D25) in the TRUE project. The report analyses the present market potential for fodder- and grain-legumes in the EU feed sector including both farm animals and aquaculture. The analysis will touch upon aspects related to value chain organization and markets, drivers and barriers for increasing demand for fodder- and grain-legumes in the feed sector, and with a point of departure being animal nutrition. The report covers a wide range of legume crops including faba beans, soya beans, peas, lupins, alfalfa and clover. A comparative assessment is carried out for European fodder- and grain-legumes in contrast to imported soya beans to assess the competitiveness of European (home-)grown protein crops against international sources. The reports conclusions are followed by a collection of recommended actions to promote a wider cultivation and use of European grown fodder- and grain-legumes in the feed sector.

description: Da tempo il diritto ci appare come un fenomeno sconfinato, sul quale siamo naturalmente portati a riflettere a partire da un raffronto tra esperienze giuridiche. Il diritto comparato si è da sempre interessato a questo fenomeno, tradizionalmente per sostenere le ragioni della convergenza, e per farlo con un piglio evoluzionista. Nel tempo le cose sono cambiate. Per un verso ha preso corpo la volontà di preservare le identità delle esperienze giuridiche, per un altro si è avvertita la necessità di superare l’approccio evoluzionista e di adottarne in sua vece uno diffusionista. Il risultato è un rimescolamento delle sensibilità con cui ci si accosta al raffronto tra esperienze giuridiche, del resto in linea con una fase storica per molti aspetti caratterizzata da giudizi critici sulla globalizzazione. Gli autori di questo volume si sono confrontati su questi aspetti in chiave critica e mettendo in luce differenti sensibilità nei diversi campi del sapere giuridico: dal diritto privato al diritto al diritto pubblico, passando per il diritto del lavoro.

description: A stepwise reaction mechanism between triphenylphosphine 1 and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates 2 in the presence of a SH-acid, such as 2-aminothiophenol 3, has been investigated theoretically with B3LYP method using 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. Potential energies of all structures participating along the reaction path have been evaluated. For all the reactions investigated, the first step was recognized to be the rate-determining step. Quantum mechanical calculations clarified the existence of reaction product as a mixture of two E- or Z-geometrical isomers, and indicate which one of them represents the major form. The effect of subsituated alkyl groups on the potential energy surfaces was investigated. Also, the natural bond orbital method was applied for better understanding the molecular interactions.

description: In this work, four different channels, represented by H2O•••HO2 + HOCl, HO2•••H2O + HOCl, H2O•••HOCl + HO2 and HOCl•••H2O + HO2 have been analysed for water-catalysed formations of H2O2 + ClO to gain insight into the potential impact of the reaction in the atmosphere. The results at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ//MP2/6-311+G(2df,2p) level show that the H2O•••HO2 + HOCl reaction is kinetically the most favourable channel among the four channels. Compared to the channel of H2O2 + ClO formations without water vapour, the effective rate constant of H2O•••HO2 + HOCl reaction is estimated to be faster than the naked reaction by 2–3 orders of magnitude, indicating that the single water molecule in the H2O•••HO2 + HOCl channel exhibits a positive catalytic effect on enhancing the rate of H2O2 + ClO formations. Meanwhile, it is interesting that the transfer process between H2O•••HOCl + HO2 and H2O•••HO2 + HOCl has an activation energy of 0.6 kcal⋅mol−1 and can occur easily under tropospheric conditions.

description: Early Cretaceous floras containing angiosperms were described from several geographic areas, nearly from the Arctic to the Antarctic, and are crucial to understand their evolution and radiation. However, most of these records come from northern mid-latitudes whereas those of lower paleolatitude areas, such as the Crato Fossil Lagerstätte in NE Brazil, are less studied. Here, we describe from this region of northern Gondwanan origin, two fossil-species of eudicots belonging to a new extinct genus Santaniella gen. nov. Together with several vegetative axes and leaves, anatomically well-preserved fruits with seeds and persistent perianth-like organs allowed us to reconstruct its potential affinities with ranunculids, and presumably Ranunculaceae. Previous records putatively assigned to Ranunculales are all from mid-latitudes, and their first unequivocal occurrence in a low-latitude area supports further the hypothesis of a widespread radiation of the earliest diverging eudicot lineage by this early age.

description: Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are ancient immune effectors and are considered as new anti-infective drugs. AMPs differ from conventional antibiotics in their pharmacodynamics, speed of killing and they do not increase mutagenesis. This results in a much lower probability of bacterial resistance evolution against AMPs. AMPs are usually expressed as synergistic cocktails. If AMPs are to be used in the clinic to tackle the antibiotic crisis, understanding their natural biology will be pivotal to prevent resistance.
description: Antimikrobielle Peptide (AMPs) sind uralte Immuneffektoren und werden als neue Antiinfektiva angesehen. AMPs unterscheiden sich von herkömmlichen Antibiotika durch ihre Pharmakodynamik, die Geschwindigkeit der Abtötung und die Tatsache, dass sie die Mutagenese nicht erhöhen. Dies führt dazu, dass die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer bakteriellen Resistenzentwicklung gegen AMPs wesentlich geringer ist. AMPs werden normalerweise als synergistische Cocktails eingesetzt. Wenn AMPs in der Klinik eingesetzt werden sollen, um die Antibiotikakrise zu bekämpfen, ist das Verständnis ihrer natürlichen Biologie von entscheidender Bedeutung, um Resistenzen zu verhindern.

description: The 1:1 imine intermediate generated by the addition of a primary amine to cyclohexanone trapped by N-isocyaniminotriphenylphosphorane (NICITPP) in the presence of aromatic carboxylic acids and the corresponding iminophosphorane intermediate was formed. Disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives are formed via intramolecular aza-Wittig reaction of the iminophosphorane intermediate. The reactions were completed in neutral conditions at room temperature (18-26°C). The disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives were produced in excellent yields.

description: Fatty acid hydratases are unique to microorganisms. Their native function is the oxidation of unsaturated C–C bonds to enable detoxification of environmental toxins. Within this enzyme family, the oleate hydratases (Ohys), which catalyze the hydroxylation of oleic acid to 10-(R)-hydroxy stearic acid (10-HSA) have recently gained particular industrial interest. 10-HSA is considered to be a replacement for 12-(R)-hydroxy stearic acid (12-HSA), which has a broad application in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. As 12-HSA is obtained through an energy consuming synthesis process, the biotechnological route for sustainable 10-HSA production is of significant industrial interest. All Ohys identified to date have a non-redox active FAD bound in their active site. Ohys can be divided in several subfamilies, that differ in their oligomerization state and the decoration with amino acids in their active sites. The latter observation indicates a different reaction mechanism across those subfamilies. Despite intensive biotechnological, biochemical and structural investigations, surprising little is known about substrate binding and the reaction mechanism of this enzyme family. This review, summarizes our current understanding of Ohys with a focus on sustainable biotransformation.

description: We explore the dependence of the Betti numbers of monomial ideals on the characteristic of the field. A first observation is that for a fixed prime p either the i-th Betti number of all high enough powers of a monomial ideal differs in characteristic 0 and in characteristic p or it is the same for all high enough powers. In our main results, we provide constructions and explicit examples of monomial ideals all of whose powers have some characteristic-dependent Betti numbers or whose asymptotic regularity depends on the field. We prove that, adding a monomial on new variables to a monomial ideal allows to spread the characteristic dependence to all powers. For any given prime p, this produces an edge ideal such that all its powers have some Betti numbers that are different over Q and over Zp. Moreover, we show that, for every r≥0 and i≥3 there is a monomial ideal I such that some coefficient in a degree ≥r of the Kodiyalam polynomials P3(I),…,Pi+r(I) depends on the characteristic. We also provide a summary of related results and speculate about the behavior of other combinatorially defined ideals.
