description: OPTN (optineurin) is an autophagy receptor and mutations in the OPTN gene result in familial glaucoma (E50K) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) (E478G). However, the mechanisms through which mutant OPTN leads to human diseases remain to be characterized. Here, we demonstrated that OPTN colocalized with inclusion bodies (IBs) formed by mutant HTT/huntingtin protein (mHTT) in R6/2 transgenic mice and IBs formed by 81QNmHTT (nuclear form), 109QmHTT (cytoplasmic form) or the truncated form of TARDBP/TDP-43 (TARDBPND251) in Neuro2A cells. This colocalization required the ubiquitin (Ub)-binding domain (UbBD, amino acids 424 to 511) of OPTN. Overexpression of wild-type (WT) OPTN decreased IBs through K63-linked polyubiquitin-mediated autophagy. E50K or 210 to 410Δ (with amino acids 210 to 410 deleted) whose mutation or deletion was outside the UbBD decreased the IBs formed by 109QmHTT or TARDBPND251, as was the case with WT OPTN. In contrast, UbBD mutants, including E478G, D474N, UbBDΔ, 411 to 520Δ and 210 to 520Δ, increased accumulation of IBs. UbBD mutants (E478G, UbBDΔ) retained a substantial ability to interact with WT OPTN, and were found to colocalize with polyubiquitinated IBs, which might occur indirectly through their WT partner in a WT-mutant complex. They decreased autophagic flux evidenced by alteration in LC3 level and turnover and in the number of LC3-positive puncta under stresses like starvation or formation of IBs. UbBD mutants exhibited a weakened interaction with MYO6 (myosin VI) and TOM1 (target of myb1 homolog [chicken]), important for autophagosome maturation, in cells or sorted 109QmHtt IBs. Taken together, our data indicated that UbBD mutants acted as dominant-negative traps through the formation of WT-mutant hybrid complexes to compromise the maturation of autophagosomes, which in turn interfered with OPTN-mediated autophagy and clearance of IBs.

description: Nigeria is suffering from the worst energy crisis in its history, resulting in its rural communities being subjected to massive power outages, daily. Energy promotes economic well-being and makes social life worthwhile such that youths are less disposed to violent crimes. This study investigated the consequences of power outages on the social-economic life of rural households in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. Primary data were collected through a semi-structured questionnaire circulated among unemployed youth, students, housewives, businessmen and professionals in the area. The study focused on the relationship between power outage and its impact on the everyday life of the people. This study adopted a descriptive research design using 1000 randomly selected members of 44 rural households in the areas mostly affected by incessant power outages. It was found that stunted economic growth, reduced leisure time as well as heightened criminality and insecurity are some of the major results of rampant power outages among rural households in the Niger Delta. It is concluded that power outages have severe negative impact on the social and economic lives of the people. The findings from this research would help improve the outlook of rural communities in Nigeria and other developing countries.

description: In order to perform its basic function of safeguarding life and property, every power system needs an earthing profile that is effective and efficient. Recent studies carried out in the Niger Delta show that its soil is corrosive and frequently attacks the earthing system thereby rendering same ineffective thus posing a great danger to human life and property. This paper reviewed several scholarly literature related to the study for possible causes of earthing system failures and found that corrosive soils, poor workmanship, wrong choice of earthing materials, lack of maintenance etc. were dominant factors hindering effective and sustainable earthing system in the Niger Delta. The paper, therefore, recommends the regular use of experienced workmen, choice of quality earthing materials, periodic testing, inspection and maintenance as strategies to improve the earthing condition in the area.

description: Frequent power outages arising from poor state of electricity infrastructure is hindering Nigeria’s socio-economic growth. Port Harcourt is one of the foremost cities in Nigeria where business and social activities are becoming rapidly more dependent on electricity. Any power outage, even of the shortest duration, in Port Harcourt City has severe socio-economic impacts and there is no likelihood that the phenomenon would abate even in the nearest future. This research investigated the causes of incessant power outages in Port Harcourt City and suggested remedial measures to reverse the trend. The researcher relied on datacollected from primary sources through personal observations, interviews and discussions with residents of the City and from secondary sources such as the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) and current scholarly literature relating to this research, over a period of twelve months. The study used a descriptive and the non-parametric simple percentages technique in analysing the data so collected and in drawing conclusions. It was found that inadequate power generating capacity, shortage of gas, weak and dilapidated electrical transmission and distribution network, inadequate power infrastructure facilities, etc. are the chief causes of incessant power outages in the Port Harcourt metropolis. The paper recommends, among others, immediate upgrade of existing power infrastructure facilities, review of government policy on domestic gas supply and stiff statutory legislation on vandalism as measures to stabilize electricity supply in the Port Harcourt city.

description: Zosteric acid (ZA), a metabolite from the marine sea grass Zostera marina, has attracted much attention due to its attributed antifouling (AF) activity. However, recent results on dynamic transformations of aromatic sulfates in marine phototrophic organisms suggest potential enzymatic desulfation of metabolites like ZA. The activity of ZA was thus re-investigated using biofilm assays and simultaneous analytical monitoring by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS). Comparison of ZA and its non-sulfated form para-coumaric acid (CA) revealed that the active substance was in all cases the non-sulfated CA while ZA was virtually inactive. CA exhibited a strong biofilm inhibiting activity against Escherichia coli and Vibrio natriegens. The LC/MS data revealed that the apparent biofilm inhibiting effects of ZA on V. natriegens can be entirely attributed to CA released from ZA by sulfatase activity. In the light of various potential applications, the (a)biotic transformation of ZA to CA has thus to be considered in future AF formulations.

description: The existing distribution networks were not originally designed to accommodate the extensive infrastructure of electric vehicle (EV) charging, potentially leading to power quality (PQ) issues at the point of common coupling (PCC). To address this, a two-mode, unit template-based synchronous reference frame hysteresis current-controlled (SRF-HCC) three-phase Level 2 EV charger is proposed. In the first mode (G2V), the focus is on charging the EV battery from the grid, utilizing current and voltage control techniques to enhance battery life and performance. The second mode (V2G) enables the discharge of the EV's stored energy to the grid, allowing the sale of power to support transient effects on the grid voltage and frequency, thereby enhancing the grid's PQ. The hysteresis current control (HCC) generates switching pulses for both the AC-DC and buck-boost converters. The SRF-based unit template-based control (SRF-UTC) method ensures system stability, voltage, and frequency regulation for power exchange with the grid. The proposed EV charger system consists of a 3-phase bidirectional AC-DC converter, a bidirectional buck-boost converter, and a filter circuit. The system's performance was evaluated through MATLAB/Simulink modeling in two case studies.

description: A new adsorbent for Cr(VI) removal was prepared from sour cherry stones, by treatment with H2SO4 (12–96%). Adsorbent properties were characterized by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, specific surface area, point of zero charge, iodine number, and analysis of surface functional groups. Surface area increased from 225.5 to 484.7 m2 g−1, point of zero charge decreased from 6.0 to 3.2, iodine number increased from 4 to 80, total amount of surface acidic groups increased from 1.12 to 2.3 mmol g−1 and adsorption capacity increased from 0.53 to 5.27 mg g−1, with increasing H2SO4 concentration from 0 to 96%. The pseudo-first- and pseudo-second-order kinetic models have been used to analyze the kinetics of the adsorption; it was found that kinetic experimental data were successfully fitted by the pseudo-first-order model. Equilibrium data were mathematically interpreted by applying the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin–Radushkevich models; the results indicate that Freundlich model provides the best correlation. Negative values of Gibbs free energy suggest an endothermic and spontaneous adsorption process. The mechanism of Cr(VI) removal involves adsorption of Cr(VI) followed by its partial reduction to Cr(III). Analysis of thermodynamic parameters, coupled with modeling of experimental data with two different intraparticle diffusion models, revealed that binding of Cr(VI) occurred via physisorption, while the rate-limiting step was film diffusion. On the basis of present study, it can be concluded that sour cherry could be suitable adsorbents for the removal of Cr(VI) from polluted waters.

description: Lepidocharax, new genus Type species. Lepidocharax diamantina, by original designation. Diagnosis. According to our analysis, Lepidocharax can be phylogenetically diagnosed from the remaining Stevardiinae by the presence of the following autapomorphies supporting clade 4: 1) parhypural and hypural 1 either contacting each other leaving a narrow joint line between them or fused to each other (character 64, state 1), and 2) nasal tubular, without bone expansion (character 96, state 1). Both characters are, however, homoplastically shared among other Stevardiinae. Character 64 (state1) also supports clades 10 and 13, and character 96 (state 1) supports clade 16. In addition, several distinguishing features are useful to diagnose Lepidocharax. It can be distinguished from all the other genera of the Stevardiinae except Planaltina, Pseudocorynopoma, and Xenurobrycon by having the dorsalfin origin on the same vertical crossing the anal-fin origin. The presence of adnate scales over the ventral caudal-fin lobe distinguishes Lepidocharax from Planaltina, Pseudocorynopoma, and Xenurobrycon which have a caudal organ or pouch bordered by modified scales or represented by a single modified pouch scale. Etymology. Lepido, from the Greek, for scales and charax,from the Greek characo, meaning pointed stake, here used in reference to the characid genus Charax, hence a Characid fish. Lepidocharax is a name used in reference to the scales covering the ventral caudal-fin lobe. A noun in apposition.

description: The results of the analysis of grapevine virus A (GVA) isolates by single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) confirm that this technique is very helpful in rapid and relatively low cost preliminary analysis of molecular heterogeneity of viruses. The results clearly show that the reliability of SSCP analysis of GVA depends on oligonucleotide primers for successful RT-PCR amplification of the highest possible number of molecular variants of the virus. Among 7 pairs of GVA-specific primers designed in different laboratories only two, those from Canada (117038 and C7273) and Switzerland (MP and CPdt), allowed positive RT-PCR amplification of all our isolates of the virus mechanically transmitted from various grapevines to Nicotiana benthamiana. With SSCP analysis of 238 bp DNA fragments complementary to part of ORF5 of GVA, produced by RT-PCR using the first pair of primers, we were able to detect 1-35 nt differences between GVA isolates. The DNA fragments, about 986 bp, complementary to part of ORF3 and ORF4, ORF5 and 3'UTR of GVA, produced by RT-PCR using the second pair of primers, were useful for SSCP analysis only after their digestion with the restriction enzyme DdeI. The results strongly suggest that SSCP analysis of 238 nt fragment of ORF5 of GVA along with DdeI/SSCP analysis of about 986 nt 3'terminal fragment of the virus allow rapid and reliable determination of the number of dominant nt sequence variants of GVA present in a single N. benthamiana or grapevine plant.

description: In2S3 has received attention as an alternative to CdS as the buffer layer in heterojunction solar cells. Although having a bandgap of 2.0 eV relative to 2.5 eV for CdS, the lower toxicity and environmental impact of indium relative to cadmium, and significant photosensitivity, compel ongoing research [1]. Indium sulfide thin films were deposited onto molybdenum-coated glass (SiO2) substrates by electrodeposition from organic baths (ethylene glycol-based) containing indium chloride (InCl3), sodium chloride (NaCl), and sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O 3.5H2O), the latter used as an additional sulfur source along with elemental sulfur (S). The Taguchi method was used to optimize the deposition paramters so as to minimize non-uniformity, cracks, and improper stoichiometry. The measured performance characteristics (molar ratio (In:S) and crack density) for all of the In2S3 films were calculated to analyze the effect of each deposition factor (deposition voltage, deposition temperature, composition of solution, and deposition time) involved in the electrodeposition process by calculating the sensitivity (signal to noise, S/N, ratios).

description: Fourteen Croatian grape cultivars (Vitis vinifera L.) were analyzed at 25 polymorphic microsatellite loci and the alleles were analyzed for possible parent-progeny relationships. Alleles at 24 out of the 25 loci are consistent with Pošip bijeli (hermaphrodite) being the progeny of two other varieties, Zlatarica blatska bijeli and Bratkovina bijeli. A further search in a microsatellite database of over 300 cultivars revealed no other possible parents for Pošip. Likelihood analysis with observed allele frequencies indicated that the probability of the observed Pošip alleles is more than 1015 times higher for the presumptive parents than two random varieties and at least 300 times more likely than close relatives of the presumptive parents. The likelihoods were 1013 and at least 200, respectively, when the 95 % upper confidence limits of the allele frequencies were used in the analysis. Pošip and its presumptive parents have all been grown on the Dalmatian island of Korcula for many years, suggesting that this island is its origin. A comparison of representative groups of Croatian, Italian and Greek cultivars indicated that 11 out of the 13 Pošip alleles are more frequent in the Croatian gene pool than in the other two. Pošip and the two presumptive parental cultivars were characterized with 58 ampelographic and ampelometric descriptors. Pošip shares 50 out of the 58 characteristics with one or both of the parents and combines several desirable characteristics from both parents. Pošip has become increasingly popular in Dalmatian viticulture and has replaced some other white wine cultivars.

description: Within the last few years, there has been notable progress in understanding the growth mechanisms of semiconductor thin films for photovoltaic (PV) applications. Electrodeposition continues to be a complex deposition technique that can lead to regions of low quality (for example, cracks) in films. Such cracks can form porous zones on the substrate and diminish the heterojunction interface quality of a PV cell. In this paper, electrodeposition of In2S3 films was systematically and quantitatively investigated by varying electrodeposition parameters including bath composition, current density, deposition time, and deposition temperature. Their effects upon the morphology, composition, and film growth mechanism were studied with the help of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and digital imaging analysis (using fracture and buckling analysis software). In addition, the effect of different annealing treatments (200°C, 300°C, and 400°C in air) and coated glass-substrates (Mo, ITO, and FTO) upon the properties of the In2S3 films was analyzed. Furthermore, the Taguchi/Design of Experiments (DOE) Method was used to determine the optimal electrodeposition parameters in order to improve the properties.

description: The PCR-based DNA microsatellite analysis has been applied to define genetic relationships among 19 most representative grapevine cultivars in the Aosta valley. Eighteen varieties grown nearby, in the Savoy (France), Valais (Switzerland) and Piedmont (Italy) regions, were also analysed, to verify the correlations with the Aosta cultivars inferred by the analysis of synonyms and/or morphology. Results were obtained by analysing 12 DNA microsatellite loci. High biodiversity has been recorded amongst the analysed grapevines. In some cases cultivars known with different names in the Valley and in the nearby regions displayed the same SSR allele size, proving the occurrence of synonyms. In other case, identical denominations did not correspond with the genomic identity.

description: Phylloxera (Daktulosphaira vitifoliae FITCH) induce galls (nodosities) on young grapevine roots. Histological and histochemical methods were applied to study the gall's morphology and enzyme activities (peroxidases, leucine aminopeptidases and acidic phosphatases). Susceptible V. vinifera cv. Cabernet Sauvignon was compared to the resistant rootstock 5 BB (V. berlandieri x V. riparia) using aseptic dual culture conditions. The gall induction phase was analyzed before visible signs of potential resistance responses were detected. Elevated metabolic activity has been found in nodosities compared to uninfected roots. Starch granule incorporation was detected in young galls and was highest at the feeding site. As galls mature, the starch density decreased at the feeding site and increased towards the periphery of the gall. Peroxidase, acidic phosphatase and leucine aminopeptidase activities were highest at the incision. No differences in enzyme activities could be detected between the two cultivars tested.

description: During the last 5 years Flavescence doree (FD) has been expanding from the first loci of outbreak in the Veneto region, to the major viticultural areas of northern Italy, showing increased infection rates in 1999. The FD vector is Scaphoideus titanus Ball. Recently it has been demonstrated that in Veneto FD is associated with two molecularly distinguishable types of phytoplasmas, both belonging to the 16SrV group (Elm yellows and related strains). In 1997 the two phytoplasma types appeared to be geographically separated in 1997: FD-16SrV-D was found in the provinces of Verona, Vicenza, Venice and Padova, infecting mainly cvs Garganega and Chardonnay while FD-16SrV-C occurred in the Treviso province, infecting cultivars Prosecco, Chardonnay and Perera. During 1998 the two types started to merge in Treviso province, showing that 16SrV-D was transmitted more efficently and over longer distances than the other type. From the transmission trials carried out in 1998 and 1999 in order to gain more information about the epidemiology of the two types of FD agents, S. titanus was found to be able to transmit both 16SrV-C and 16SrV-D phytoplasmas.
