description: Report Preface: This technical publication reviews the potential of using manure anaerobic digestion (AD) systems on livestock production facilities to produce electricity or biogas to supply farm energy needs. An in-depth biogas production cost analysis is provided to assess the feasibility of utilizing an anaerobic digester for on-farm purposes. The cost of electricity and biogas production using manure-based AD systems is presented based on an analysis of 38 installations in the United States. Both electricity and biogas costs from these systems were compared to the current U.S. cost of electricity, natural gas, and liquid propane (L.P.) in dollars per gigajoule of energy content. This analysis shows that AD system capital cost can be reduced by approximately 36 percent if no electrical generation system is installed. The economic advantage of using biogas at the point of generation is more apparent in remote locations where the costs of natural and L.P. gas are higher than standard markets. The cost analysis presented in this document suggest that lower cost AD systems currently employed on United States farms can provide biogas that is competitive or lower in cost than current United States commercial natural gas prices, if the biogas is used directly on site in space heaters or boilers without excessive additional gas upgrading (cleaning and conditioning) costs. Producers interested in manure AD systems should evaluate the potential of using biogas produced on site as an on-farm energy source alternative (e.g., heating water, heating animal housing, etc.) to generating electricity. Lastly, general information relevant to AD system functionality, biogas production computations, and on-farm biogas use is provided for the landowner.
Immunoprecipitation of nonerythrocyte spectrin within live cells following microinjection of specific antibodies: relation to cytoskeletal structures
Creators: name: Burridge, Keith

description: The intracellular precipitation of nonerythrocyte spectrin has been achieved by the microinjection into cells of either a monoclonal antibody (IgM) directed against the alpha chain of nonerythrocyte spectrin or an affinity-purified polyclonal antibody raised against bovine brain spectrin (fodrin). This antibody-induced precipitation of spectrin was observed in fibroblastic and epithelial cell types, including embryonic bovine tracheal fibroblasts, a bovine kidney epithelial cell line (MDBK), Hela cells, gerbil fibroma cells, and fibroblast lines of human and mouse origins. The precipitation of the spectrin was specific and two proteins with a similar distribution to the nonerythrocyte spectrin were not induced to co-precipitate in the spectrin aggregates. Comparing the two types of antibody microinjected, the affinity-purified polyclonal antibody resulted in more compact aggregates of spectrin and these were frequently aligned with microfilament bundles. The rate at which the spectrin aggregates were cleared into presumptive lysosomes varied with different cell types: in some such as the bovine kidney epithelial cells, this appeared complete within 3 h after microinjection, whereas in some of the fibroblasts the spectrin aggregates were prominent in the cytoplasm at 24 and even 48 h after microinjection. Microfilament bundles appeared unaffected by the aggregation of spectrin. We conclude that the integrity of the actin microfilament bundles does not require nonerythrocyte spectrin and that most probably these structures are linked at their termini to the membrane through proteins other than nonerythrocyte spectrin. No effect of the intracellular spectrin precipitation was observed on cell shape, or on the distribution of coated vesicles or microtubules. The aggregation of the nonerythrocyte spectrin, however, did affect the distribution of the vimentin type of intermediate filaments in most of the cell types studied. These filaments became more distorted and condensed, but generally did not collapse around the nucleus as occurs following microtubule disruption induced by colchicine treatment. The clumped intermediate filaments were frequently seen to coincide with regions of aggregated spectrin. This aggregation of intermediate filaments was not induced by microinjection of irrelevant antibodies, nor was it induced by the monoclonal antibody against spectrin in cells with which it did not cross-react.

description: Remote excitation and emission of two-photon luminescence and second-harmonic generation are observed in micrometer long gold rod optical antennas upon local illumination with a tightly focused near-infrared femtosecond laser beam. We show that the nonlinear radiations can be emitted from the entire antenna and the measured far-field angular patterns bear the information regarding the nature and origins of the respective nonlinear processes. We demonstrate that the nonlinear responses are transported by the propagating surface plasmon at excitation frequency, enabling thereby polariton-mediated tailoring and design of nonlinear responses.

description: Excerpts from the report: Pooling as practiced by agricultural cooperative marketing associations involves two essential activities: First, the mingling or grouping together under unified action or control of any function of production or marketing; second, the determination of the results of such group action and the allocation to each participant in the pool of his share of the sales returns, service, expenses, or risks that may arise therefrom. The aim of pooling is to distribute equitably to all member-patrons the results which accrue from group effort and which can not be attained by individuals acting alone. The following are some of the economic advantages of group effort facilitated by pooling: (1) Improvement of the bargaining position of individual growers, through coordination of their efforts; (2) elimination of waste; (3) spreading marketing risks among all members ; and (4) possibility of effective market expansion through control of the time, place, and form in which the commodity is sold.
What to think of Dumézil’s tripartite approach of Indo-European cosmologies?

description: The paper analyzes the tripartite approach of Indo-European cosmologies once proposed by Georges Dumézil (1898–1986). The first part describes what Dumézil proposed, and then the second part tries to assess the relevancy and limitations of the tripartite approach. The Mittani-Aryan gods listed in Hittito-Hurrian treaties provided the prototype for Dumézil’s theory in the late 1930s. Then the main figures of North Germanic and Zoroastrian pantheons can be arranged according to the same tripartite mold as Mittani-Aryan. Tripartition applies to neither Greek nor Hittite traditions. A major issue is that the North Germanic pantheon involves Odin (< *wat-), a non-Indo-European shamanistic god of probable Caucasic origin. Another bone of contention is that the Zoroastrian reform downgraded the Indo-European daevas into demons and promoted Ahura Mazda (< *aw-), of probable Caucasic origin, as its most important god. The North Germanic and Zoroastrian pantheons are much less in support of tripartition than usually claimed. It can therefore be doubted that tripartition really is of Proto-Indo-European dating.

description: Human monocytes, which contain few interphase microtubules (35.+/- 7.7), were used to study the dynamics of microtubule depolymerization. Steady-state microtubule assembly was abruptly blocked with either high concentrations of nocodazole (10 micrograms/ml) or exposure to cold temperature (3 degrees C). At various times after inhibition of assembly, cells were processed for anti-tubulin immunofluorescence microscopy. Stained cells were observed with an intensified video camera attached to the fluorescence microscope. A tracing of the entire length of each individual microtubule was made from the image on the television monitor by focusing up and down through the cell. The tracings were then digitized into a computer. All microtubules were seen to originate from the centrosome, with an average length in control cells of 7.1 +/- 2.7 microns (n = 957 microtubules). During depolymerization, the total microtubule polymer and the number of microtubules per cell decreased rapidly. In contrast, there was a slow decrease in the average length of the persisting microtubules. The half- time for both the loss of total microtubule polymer and microtubule number per cell was approximately 40 s for nocodazole-treated cells. The rate-limiting step in the depolymerization process was the rate of initiation of disassembly. Once initiated, depolymerization appeared catastrophic. Further kinetic analysis revealed two classes of microtubules: 70% of the microtubule population was very labile and initiated depolymerization at a rate approximately 23 times faster than a minor population of persistent microtubules. Cold treatment yielded qualitatively similar characteristics of depolymerization, but the initiation rates were slower. In both cases there was a significant asynchrony and heterogeneity in the initiation of depolymerization among the population of microtubules.

description: Excerpts: A point to be made clear at the outset is that an incorporated cooperative association, whether formed with or without capital stock, is a corporation just as much as an incorporated organization formed to manufacture automobiles, farm implements, or steel. It is true that incorporated cooperative associations are a particular type of corporation, just as incorporated commercial concerns or charitable organizations are of particular types. As nearly all farmers' cooperative associations are incorporated, and as it is highly desirable, as a rule, that they should be, the greater part of this bulletin will be devoted to a consideration of incorporated associations. There is no Federal statute for the incorporation of cooperative associations. All States have statutes adapted to the incorporation of cooperative associations. To incorporate such an association it must be done under an appropriate State statute

description: The role of noise in the transport properties of quantum excitations is a topic of great importance in many fields, from organic semiconductors for technological applications to light-harvesting complexes in photosynthesis. In this paper we study a semi-classical model where a tight-binding Hamiltonian is fully coupled to an underlying spatially extended nonlinear chain of atoms. We show that the transport properties of a quantum excitation are subtly modulated by (i) the specific type (local vs non-local) of exciton-phonon coupling and by (ii) nonlinear effects of the underlying lattice. We report a non-monotonic dependence of the exciton diffusion coefficient on temperature, in agreement with earlier predictions, as a direct consequence of the lattice-induced fluctuations in the hopping rates due to long-wavelength vibrational modes. A standard measure of transport efficiency confirms that both nonlinearity in the underlying lattice and off-diagonal exciton-phonon coupling promote transport efficiency at high temperatures, preventing the Zeno-like quench observed in other models lacking an explicit noise-providing dynamical system.

description: The dynamic process of embryonic cell motility was investigated by analyzing the lateral mobility of the fibronectin receptor in various locomotory or stationary avian embryonic cells, using the technique of fluorescence recovery after photobleaching. The lateral mobility of fibronectin receptors, labeled by a monoclonal antibody, was defined by the diffusion coefficient and mobile fraction of these receptors. Even though the lateral diffusion coefficient did not vary appreciably (2 X 10(-10) cm2/S less than or equal to D less than or equal to 4 X 10(-10) cm2/S) with the locomotory state and the cell type, the mobile fraction was highly dependent on the degree of cell motility. In locomoting cells, the population of fibronectin receptors, which was uniformly distributed on the cell surface, displayed a high mobile fraction of 66 +/- 19% at 25 degrees C (82 +/- 14% at 37 degrees C). In contrast, in nonmotile cells, the population of receptors was concentrated in focal contacts and fibrillar streaks associated with microfilament bundles and, in these sites, the mobile fraction was small (16 +/- 8%). When cells were in a stage intermediate between highly motile and stationary, the population of fibronectin receptors was distributed both in focal contacts with a small mobile fraction and in a diffuse pattern with a reduced mobile fraction (33 +/- 9%) relative to the diffuse population in highly locomotory cells. The mobile fraction of the fibronectin receptor was found to be temperature dependent in locomoting but not in stationary cells. The mobile fraction could be modulated by affecting the interaction between the receptor and the substratum. The strength of this interaction could be increased by growing cells on a substratum coated with polyclonal antibodies to the receptor. This caused the mobile fraction to decrease. The interaction could be decreased by using a probe, monoclonal antibodies to the receptor known to perturb the adhesion of certain cell types which caused the mobile fraction to increase. From these results, we conclude that in locomoting embryonic cells, most fibronectin receptors can readily diffuse in the plane of the membrane. This degree of lateral mobility may be correlated to the labile adhesions to the substratum presumably required for high motility. In contrast, fibronectin receptors in stationary cells are immobilized in focal contacts and fibrillar streaks which are in close association with both extracellular and cytoskeletal structures; these stable complexes appear to provide firm anchorage to the substratum.

description: We suggest and analyze a new scheme to adiabatically cool bosonic atoms to picokelvin temperatures which should allow the observation of magnetic ordering via superexchange in optical lattices. The starting point is a gapped phase called the spin Mott phase where each site is occupied by one spin-up and one spin-down atom. An adiabatic ramp leads to an xy-ferromagnetic phase. We show that the combination of time-dependent density matrix renormalization group methods with quantum trajectories can be used to fully address possible experimental limitations due to decoherence, and demonstrate that the magnetic correlations are robust for experimentally realizable ramp speeds. Using a microscopic master equation treatment of light scattering in the many-particle system, we test the robustness of adiabatic state preparation against decoherence. Due to different ground-state symmetries, we also find a metastable state with xy-ferromagnetic order if the ramp crosses to regimes where the ground state is a z-ferromagnet. The bosonic spin Mott phase as the initial gapped state for adiabatic cooling has many features in common with a fermionic band insulator, but the use of bosons should enable experiments with substantially lower initial entropies.

description: The information age challenges computer technology to process an exponentially increasing computational load on a limited energy budget - a requirement that demands an exponential reduction in energy per operation. In digital logic circuits, the switching energy of present FET devices is intimately connected with the switching voltage, and can no longer be lowered sufficiently, limiting the ability of current technology to address the challenge. Quantum computing offers a leap forward in capability, but a clear advantage requires algorithms presently developed for only a small set of applications. Therefore, a new, general purpose, classical technology based on a different paradigm is needed to meet the ever increasing demand for data processing.

Dilution of individual microtubules observed in real time in vitro: evidence that cap size is small and independent of elongation rate

description: Although the mechanism of microtubule dynamic instability is thought to involve the hydrolysis of tubulin-bound GTP, the mechanism of GTP hydrolysis and the basis of microtubule stability are controversial. Video microscopy of individual microtubules and dilution protocols were used to examine the size and lifetime of the stabilizing cap. Purified porcine brain tubulin (7-23 microM) was assembled at 37 degrees C onto both ends of isolated sea urchin axoneme fragments in a miniature flow cell to give a 10-fold variation in elongation rate. The tubulin concentration in the region of microtubule growth could be diluted rapidly (by 84% within 3 s of the onset of dilution). Upon perfusion with buffer containing no tubulin, microtubules experienced a catastrophe (conversion from elongation to rapid shortening) within 4-6 s on average after dilution to 16% of the initial concentration, independent of the predilution rate of elongation and length. Based on extrapolation of catastrophe frequency to zero tubulin concentration, the estimated lifetime of the stable cap after infinite dilution was less than 3-4 s for plus and minus ends, much shorter than the approximately 200 s observed at steady state (Walker, R. A., E. T. O'Brien, N. K. Pryer, M. Soboeiro, W. A. Voter, H. P. Erickson, and E. D. Salmon. 1988. J. Cell Biol. 107:1437-1448.). We conclude that during elongation, both plus and minus ends are stabilized by a short region (approximately 200 dimers or less) and that the size of the stable cap is independent of 10-fold variation in elongation rate. These results eliminate models of dynamic instability which predict extensive "build- up" stabilizing caps and support models which constrain the cap to the elongating tip. We propose that the cell may take advantage of such an assembly mechanism by using "catastrophe factors" that can promote frequent catastrophe even at high elongation rates by transiently binding to microtubule ends and briefly inhibiting GTP-tubulin association.

Paxillin is a major phosphotyrosine-containing protein during embryonic development
Creators: name: Turner, Christopher E.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1991

description: Phosphotyrosine-containing proteins were immunoprecipitated from embryonic chicken tissue extracts using anti-phosphotyrosine antibody coupled to agarose beads. Major phosphotyrosine-containing proteins of 110, 70, and 50 kD were observed following blotting with anti- phosphotyrosine antibody. The 70-kD band was selectively removed from the samples by precipitation with antibodies to the focal adhesion protein paxillin, therefore identifying paxillin as one of the major tyrosine kinase substrates during chick embryonic organogenesis. The tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin is regulated developmentally: during embryogenesis, a marked decrease in its phosphotyrosine content was observed, although the total level of paxillin remained essentially constant. Approximately 20% of the paxillin was phosphorylated on tyrosine in the early embryo. In contrast, tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin was undetectable in the adult. A similar profile of phosphotyrosine-containing proteins was identified in rat embryos. Paxillin was also found to be a major phosphotyrosine-containing protein in the rat embryo. These data suggest that the regulated phosphorylation of tyrosine residues on paxillin may perform a critical role in controlling cell and tissue cytoarchitecture rearrangement during vertebrate development.

description: Au milieu des années 1990, le Service du Patrimoine du Conseil général du Lot-et-Garonne prend en charge le musée de Mézin, réalisé une quinzaine d'années plus tôt par un groupe de bénévoles de ce chef-lieu de canton, et procède à sa restructuration. L'objectif de cette modernisation est de transformer ce musée du local en un musée spécialisé dans l'industrie bouchonnière qui assura, jusqu'aux années 1960, la prospérité de la petite cité. C'est dans ce cadre-là que Véronique Moulinié, alors jeune chercheuse hors statut, est mandatée pour mener une ethnographie des gestes et savoirs nécessaires à la production de bouchons, laquelle doit alimenter la nouvelle scénographie. Or, l'enquête s'avère impossible à réaliser, les bouchonniers refusant, pour la plupart, de parler de leur expérience. Dans cet article, elle analyse les raisons de ce qui est longtemps resté pour elle un cuisant fiasco, autant dû aux particularités du terrain qu'à son inexpérience de la recherche sur commande. mots-clés : recherche sur commande, industrie bouchonnière, patrimoine, musée, bénévolat, professionnalisation
description: Twenty years later : analysis of an ethnological failure In the mid-1990s, the Heritage Department of the General Council of Lot-et-Garonne took responsibility for the Museum of Mézin, which was created fifteen years earlier by a group of volunteers from this little town, the administrative center of the canton, and decided to restructure it. The main focus of this modernization was to convert the old-fashioned local heritage museum into a specialized museum, dedicated to the cork-stopper industry that had ensured the prosperity of Mézin until the 1960s. It is against this background that Véronique Moulinié, a young anthropologist with no professional status, was mandated to conduct ethnographic research into the knowledge, skills and technical gestures involved in the cork industry, with the aim of developing the new scenography of the museum. However, with most workers refusing to talk about their professional experience, the survey became impossible to carry out. In this paper, Véronique Moulinié considers the reasons for this failure, which she has long regarded as a major fiasco, and demonstrates their relation both to the peculiarities of the local context and to her lack of experience with commissioned research projects. keywords : commissioned research project, cork-stopper industry, heritage, museums, volunteers activity, professionalization.
Tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin and pp125FAK accompanies cell adhesion to extracellular matrix: a role in cytoskeletal assembly

description: Cells in culture reveal high levels of protein tyrosine phosphorylation in their focal adhesions, the regions where cells adhere to the underlying substratum. We have examined the tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins in response to plating cells on extracellular matrix substrata. Rat embryo fibroblasts, mouse Balb/c 3T3, and NIH 3T3 cells plated on fibronectin-coated surfaces revealed elevated phosphotyrosine levels in a cluster of proteins between 115 and 130 kD. This increase in tyrosine phosphorylation was also seen when rat embryo fibroblasts were plated on laminin or vitronectin, but not on polylysine or on uncoated plastic. Integrin mediation of this effect was suggested by finding the same pattern of elevated tyrosine phosphorylation in cells plated on the cell-binding fragment of fibronectin and in cells plated on a synthetic polymer containing multiple RGD sequences. We have identified one of the proteins of the 115-130-kD cluster as pp125FAK, a tyrosine kinase recently localized in focal adhesions (Schaller, M. D., C. A. Borgman, B. S. Cobb, R. R. Vines, A. B. Reynolds, and J. T. Parsons. 1992. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 89:5192). A second protein that becomes tyrosine phosphorylated in response to extracellular matrix adhesion is identified as paxillin, a 70-kD protein previously localized to focal adhesions. Treatment of cells with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor herbimycin A diminished the adhesion-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of these proteins and inhibited the formation of focal adhesions and stress fibers. These results suggest a role for integrin- mediated tyrosine phosphorylation in the organization of the cytoskeleton as cells adhere to the extracellular matrix.

description: The chikungunya virus (CHIKV) has produced epidemic outbreaks of significant public health impact. The clinical symptoms of this disease are fever, polyarthralgia, and skin rash, generally self-limiting, although patients may develop a chronic disabling condition or suffer lethal complications. Unfortunately, there is no specific treatment or vaccine available. Thus, the search for effective therapies to control CHIKV infection is an urgent need. This study evaluated the antiviral activity of flavonoids isolated from Marcetia taxifolia by in vitro and in silico analysis. Cytotoxicity of compounds was determined by MTT assay and viral load was assessed in cell substrates supernatants by plaque-forming and RT-qPCR assays. Selected molecules were analyzed by molecular docking assays. Myricetin 3-rhamnoside (MR) and myricetin 3-(6-rhamnosylgalactoside) (MRG) were tested for antiviral assays and analyzed by the TCID50 method and RT-qPCR. MR exhibited dose-dependent antiviral activity, reducing viral titer at concentrations of 150-18.8 μg/mL by at least 1-log. Similarly, MRG showed a significant decrease in viral titer at concentrations of 37.5, 9.4, and 2.3 μg/mL. RT-qPCR analysis also displayed a substantial reduction of CHIKV RNA for both flavonoids. Furthermore, molecular docking of the selected flavonoids proposed the nsP3 macrodomain as a possible target of action. Our study reveals that MR and MRG could be considered promising anti-CHIKV therapeutic agents. Molecular modeling studies showed MR and MRG ligands with a high affinity for the N-terminal region of the nsP3 macrodomain, postulating them as a potential target of action for the CHIKV control.
