description: Neodymium complex [Nd(HTBA)2(C2H3O2)(H2O)2]n·2nH2O (1) (H2TBA = 2-thiobarbituric acid, C4H4N2O2S) has been synthesized in an aqueous solution at 80-90 °C. The crystal structure of 1 has been defined by the Rietveld method in space group P21/n, a = 8.5939(2), b = 22.9953(5), c = 10.1832(2) Å, β = 112.838(1), Z = 4, R = 0.0181. In 1, the Nd(III) is coordinated by four μ2-HTBA– ions through O, three oxygens from two μ2-η2:η1-bridging CH3COO– anions and two terminal waters with a tri-capped trigonal prism structure. The prisms form an edge-contact pair through two O from two acetates. The pairs are connected by HTBA– and form a three-dimensional framework. The principle product of thermal decomposition of 1 at >750 °C is Nd2O2SO4 (2). The crystal structure of 2 has been obtained in space group I222, a = 4.1199(4), b = 4.2233(4), c = 13.3490(12) Å, Z = 2, R = 0.0246. The structure is related to an orthorhombic structure type of M2O2SO4 (M = Ln) compounds. In 2, the Nd3+ is coordinated by six oxygens in a trigonal prism. Each NdO6 prism links with two SO4 tetrahedra by nodes, with four other NdO6 prisms by edges and with four other NdO6 prisms by nodes, and the units form the three-dimensional frame. In the frame, the layers of SO4 tetrahedra are alternated by two NdO6 prism layers.

description: Lake sediments are increasingly explored as reliable paleoflood archives. In addition to established flood proxies including detrital layer thickness, chemical composition, and grain size, we explore stable oxygen and carbon isotope data as paleoflood proxies for lakes in catchments with carbonate bedrock geology. In a case study from Lake Mondsee (Austria), we integrate high-resolution sediment trapping at a proximal and a distal location and stable isotope analyses of varved lake sediments to investigate flood-triggered detrital sediment flux. First, we demonstrate a relation between runoff, detrital sediment flux, and isotope values in the sediment trap record covering the period 2011-2013 CE including 22 events with daily (hourly) peak runoff ranging from 10 (24) m(3) s(-1) to 79 (110) m(3) s(-1). The three- to ten-fold lower flood-triggered detrital sediment deposition in the distal trap is well reflected by attenuated peaks in the stable isotope values of trapped sediments. Next, we show that all nine flood-triggered detrital layers deposited in a sediment record from 1988 to 2013 have elevated isotope values compared with endogenic calcite. In addition, even two runoff events that did not cause the deposition of visible detrital layers are distinguished by higher isotope values. Empirical thresholds in the isotope data allow estimation of magnitudes of the majority of floods, although in some cases flood magnitudes are overestimated because local effects can result in too-high isotope values. Hence we present a proof of concept for stable isotopes as reliable tool for reconstructing flood frequency and, although with some limitations, even for flood magnitudes.

description: Methylphophorbide a (MPa) has been isolated from the ethanol extract of the wheat grass plant. Its antioxidative efficacy is evaluated by hydroxyl radical scavenging activities and reducing capacity which are significantly up regulated in comparison with aqueous extract of the plant. The compound shows iron-binding capacity where the Fe2+ binds with MPa by two types of binding patterns with dissociation constants 157.17 and 27.89. It has antioxidative and cytotoxic effects on HeLa and Hep G2 cells. The cancerous cell survivability decreases with increasing concentration of MPa. These findings have provided evidence for the traditional use of the wheat grass plant in the treatment of cancers, oxidative stress and iron overloaded disorders.

description: The essential oil of fresh leaves from Agathis dammara (Lamb.) Rich was extracted using hydro-distillation, and GC-FID and GC–MS were used to analyse the essential oil. Nineteen compounds were identified, among which the major components were limonene (36.81%), β-bisabolene (33.43%) and β-myrcene (25.48%). In the antibacterial test, disc diffusion method and micro-well dilution assay proved that the essential oil had significant antibacterial activities. The inhibition zones against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were 23.7 and 23 mm, respectively, which demonstrated that the inhibition effects were greater than positive control (10 μg/disc streptomycin). And the lowest MIC value of the essential oil was found against S. aureus (1.25 mg/mL) and Bacillus subtilis (1.25 mg/mL). This is the first report on the antibacterial activities of A. dammara essential oil.

description: Count responses with structural zeros are very common in medical and psychosocial research, especially in alcohol and HIV research, and the zero-inflated Poisson (ZIP) and zero-inflated negative binomial models are widely used for modeling such outcomes. However, as alcohol drinking outcomes such as days of drinkings are counts within a given period, their distributions are bounded above by an upper limit (total days in the period) and thus inherently follow a binomial or zero-inflated binomial (ZIB) distribution, rather than a Poisson or ZIP distribution, in the presence of structural zeros. In this paper, we develop a new semiparametric approach for modeling ZIB-like count responses for cross-sectional as well as longitudinal data. We illustrate this approach with both simulated and real study data.

description: REACH regulation demands information about acute toxicity of chemicals towards fish and supports the use of QSAR models, provided compliance with OECD principles. Existing models present some drawbacks that may limit their regulatory application. In this study, a dataset of 908 chemicals was used to develop a QSAR model to predict the LC50 96 hours for the fathead minnow. Genetic algorithms combined with k nearest neighbour method were applied on the training set (726 chemicals) and resulted in a model based on six molecular descriptors. An automated assessment of the applicability domain (AD) was carried out by comparing the average distance of each molecule from the nearest neighbours with a fixed threshold. The model had good and balanced performance in internal and external validation (182 test molecules), at the expense of a percentage of molecules outside the AD. Principal Component Analysis showed apparent correlations between model descriptors and toxicity.

description: This study analyzed the seasonal distribution and the possible sources of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the atmospheric environment of Tamil Nadu, India. Passive air sampling was performed at 32 locations during the period from April 2009 to January 2010, and PAHs were quantified using a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer. Analysis showed that the concentrations of PAHs were in the range of 5–47.5 ng/m3 with uniform distribution in urban areas in all seasons. Pre-monsoon season showed the highest cumulative concentration of PAHs in both agricultural and coastal areas. Among PAHs, phenanthrene, fluoranthene, and pyrene levels were found to be predominant in all the samples, contributing up to 36%, 35.5%, and 24.5% of total PAHs, respectively. The signature of the PAHs obtained through diagnostic ratio and principal component analysis revealed that diesel emissions was the probable source of PAHs in all locations. Based on Word Health Organization guidelines, the human lung cancer risk due to observed level of PAH concentration (i.e., PAHs exposure) is meager. However, the risk is predicted to be more in the coastal area during summer (18 individuals among 0.1 million people). To the knowledge of these authors, this report is the first on the seasonal analysis of PAHs using passive air sampling in India.

Publisher: name: VITIS - Journal of Grapevine Research

description: Three different marker systems were used to genotype 10 clones of the grapevine cultivar White Riesling. All clones could be differentiated by means of genetic polymorphism gained by RAPD, SSR or Inter-SSR markers. While RAPD profile lacks stability for an identificational approach, individual SSR and Inter-SSR alleles could be retrieved within samples of the same clone. The polymorphic DNA fragments confirm the genetic variability within a traditional grapevine cultivar and the reproducibility of some of these markers allows the identification of clones. Since SSR and Inter-SSR markers show high stability when comparing data from different laboratories these methods are appropriate to establish data bases for the characterization of clonal grapevine material.

description: AFLPs were used to characterize a collection of 35 table grape varieties. A single AFLP reaction with a single combination of selective primers yielded an average of 50 polymorphic and scorable amplified bands in this collection and was enough to unequivocally identify each analyzed variety, Genetic similarity between different varieties was estimated, based on the results obtained with two primer combinations, to be between 0.65 and 0.90, while sibling varieties derived from the same cross showed a genetic similarity higher than 0.80, The analysis of several samples belonging to the same varieties, yet from different origins, showed stability of the AFLP patterns as to unequivocally and reproducibly identify them. Furthermore, some specific primer combinations detected a low level of variation that could be due to somatic variation and would be useful in clonal identification.

description: The coat protein gene of Grapevine rupestris stem pitting-associated virus (GRSPaV) was amplified with primers based on the completely sequenced Californian GRSPaV isolate, The protein expressed in Escherichia coli was used to raise an antiserum in rabbit. This antiserum was successfully used to detect virus coat protein in infected grapevine extracts either spotted on polyvinyl difluoride membranes (dot immunobinding) or blotted on membranes after gel separation (Western blot). The antiserum titre was 1:5,000 in Western blot. GRSPaV was detected in leaf petioles and cortical scrapings from dormant canes during the whole vegetative season. Several accessions of Vitis rupestris, currently used as presumptive virus-free indicators of Rupestris stem pitting, were found to be infected by this virus. While the application of the antiserum in ELISA was ineffective, the availability of similarly simple and effective serological tools, such as dot immunobinding, may allow a wide survey for GRSPaV.

description: A new isolate of grapevine leafroll-associated virus 2 (GLRaV-2-H4) was recovered by mechanically inoculating herbaceous hosts with concentrated tissue extracts from a North American accession of Vitis rupestris. Contrary to the Semillon isolate of GLRaV-2, isolate H4 elicited necrotic local lesions in Nicotiana clevelandii and infected systemically N. occidentalis inducing very severe symptoms. The migration rate of dissociated capsid protein of GLRaV-2-H4 in SDS-PAGE differed slightly from that of GLRaV-2-Sem. The coat protein sequence of GLRaV-2-H4 differed by about 12 % at the nucleotide level from capsid proteins of the other two GLRaV-2 isolates that have been sequenced to date. No serological differences could be detected. Isolate H4 is a biological variant of GLRaV-2, which can be distinguished from other mechanically transmitted isolates of the same virus because of differences in type and reactions of the herbaceous host range and in molecular traits of the coat protein cistron.

description: Three pathogenesis-related (PR-1-like) proteins extractable at pH 8.0 were found to accumulate in grapevine leaves after fungal pathogen (Oidium tuckeri) infection. These proteins were called gPR-1 (grapevine pathogenesis-related) proteins. Estimated molecular masses in SDS-containing gels were: gPR-1a 15.5 kDa; gPR-1b 16.8 kDa; gPR-1c 17.7 kDa. Antiserum raised against tobacco PR-la reacted specifically with grapevine counterparts. Likewise, stimulation of gPR-1 protein accumulation was observed when a set of prototype elicitors was added to grapevine cell suspension cultures. Results with inducing elicitors also showed that the extracellular PR-1-like proteins represent the only isoforms of this prominent group of pathogenesis-related proteins found in grapevine

description: Research Note Effects of different types of soil cultivation to grape parasitical and grape virus vector nematodes Within the research project "Soil management in selected locations around Lake Neusiedl" soil samples were taken from Donnerskirchen and Rust for the analysis of the nematode-pedofauna during summer 1999. At Rust (planted with cv. Blauburgunder) the type of soil management had a highly significant effect on the nematode population. After five years of soil covering with straw, permanent green cover or green cover in winter the nematode population on average was twice as high as in bare soil and green cover during spring. The latter variants were clean cultivated in spring. Distribution of nematodes in the sloping site of Donnerskirchen (planted with cvs Gruner Veltliner and Welschriesling) turned out to be inhomogenous, depending on the site of the slope. Here soil cultivation had no significant influence on the nematode fauna.

After two days of cocultivation the embryos proliferated in liquid NN69 medium containing kanamycin for selection and cefotaxim for removal of bacteria. Subsequent cultivation of larger embryos was carried out on solid NN69 medium supplemented with kanamycin. Highest conversion rates of selected germinated embryos to rooted plantlets were obtained from embryos of suspension cultures of Dornfelder and Riesling. Transgenic plants of both varieties were adapted to glasshouse and field conditions.

description: RNA family models describe classes of functionally related, non-coding RNAs based on sequence and structure conservation. The most important method for modeling RNA families is the use of covariance models, which are stochastic models that serve in the discovery of yet unknown, homologous RNAs. However, the performance of covariance models in finding remote homologs is poor for RNA families with high sequence conservation, while for families with high structure but low sequence conservation, these models are difficult to built in the first place. A complementary approach to RNA family modeling involves the use of thermodynamic matchers. Thermodynamic matchers are RNA folding programs, based on the established thermodynamic model, but tailored to a specific structural motif. As thermodynamic matchers focus on structure and folding energy, they unfold their potential in discovering homologs, when high structure conservation is paired with low sequence conservation. In contrast to covariance models, construction of thermodynamic matchers does not require an input alignment, but requires human design decisions and experimentation, and hence, model construction is more laborious. Here we report a case study on an RNA family that was constructed by means of thermodynamic matchers. It starts from a set of known but structurally different members of the same RNA family. The consensus secondary structure of this family consists of 2 to 4 adjacent hairpins. Each hairpin loop carries the same motif, CCUCCUCCC, while the stems show high variability in their nucleotide content. The present study describes (1) a novel approach for the integration of the structurally varying family into a single RNA family model by means of the thermodynamic matcher methodology, and (2) provides the results of homology searches that were conducted with this model in a wide spectrum of bacterial species.

description: In a pot experiment the following grapevines were grown in a calcareous soil: Pinot blanc own-rooted and self-grafted, grafted on SO 4 and on 3309 C; SO 4 own-rooted, self-grafted and grafted on Pinot blanc; 3309 C own-rooted, self-grafted and grafted on Pinot blanc. The occurrence of chlorosis was strongly affected by graft combinations. In self-grafted 3309 C plants the specific conductivity was significantly reduced as compared to own-rooted ones. Own-rooted SO 4 plants showed the highest specific conductivity, associated with the highest rate of shoot growth and leaf chlorophyll content.

description: RNA family models describe classes of functionally related, non-coding RNAs based on sequence and structure conservation. The most important method for modeling RNA families is the use of covariance models, which are stochastic models that serve in the discovery of yet unknown, homologous RNAs. However, the performance of covariance models in finding remote homologs is poor for RNA families with high sequence conservation, while for families with high structure but low sequence conservation, these models are difficult to built in the first place. A complementary approach to RNA family modeling involves the use of thermodynamic matchers. Thermodynamic matchers are RNA folding programs, based on the established thermodynamic model, but tailored to a specific structural motif. As thermodynamic matchers focus on structure and folding energy, they unfold their potential in discovering homologs, when high structure conservation is paired with low sequence conservation. In contrast to covariance models, construction of thermodynamic matchers does not require an input alignment, but requires human design decisions and experimentation, and hence, model construction is more laborious. Here we report a case study on an RNA family that was constructed by means of thermodynamic matchers. It starts from a set of known but structurally different members of the same RNA family. The consensus secondary structure of this family consists of two to four adjacent hairpins. Each hairpin loop carries the same motif, CCUCCUCCC, while the stems show high variability in their nucleotide content. The present study describes (1) a novel approach for the integration of the structurally varying family into a single RNA family model by means of the thermodynamic matcher methodology, and (2) provides the results of homology searches that were conducted with this model in a wide spectrum of bacterial species.

Subjects: Malaysians; DASS-21; Reliability; Psychometric values; Validation.

description: Establishing the psychometric properties of a measurement tool is paramount in order to determine the validity of any study results. The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS)-21 has preliminary evidence of a good tool in Malaysia. This study among a very big sample size would further strengthen this evidence. Objectives: To validate the DASS-21 Malay version among 367, 860 completed online assessment by looking at its Exploratory Factor Analysis and Construct validity. Methodology: The data was captured through online web-based assessment. Incomplete entries were excluded and analysis was based on 367, 860 completed entries which fulfilled the inclusion criteria. We obtained Cronbach’s alpha values of 0.95, 0.85 and 0.87 respectively for Depression, Anxiety and Stress domains. Rotated component analysis showed very good factor loading for most items to their respective domains. The non-fixed analysis showed the Malay DASS-21 consisted of 2 domains and Stress items loaded equally to Depression and Anxiety domains. The current findings further enhanced the evidence that (DASS)-21 is an excellent tool for Malaysians.

description: Objective: Group Experience Therapy (GET; Visintini et al., 2019) is a structured treatment for patients with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) features. The study aimed at evaluating GET effectiveness in a longitudinal, single-blind, two-arm parallel design, comparing GET with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT; Linehan, 1993, 2014). The individual variability was expected to be consistent. Methods: The sample was comprised of 95 outpatients, assigned to groups with the minimisation procedure and assessed every three months. Treatments were delivered by 28 therapists at the San Raffaele Scientific Institute, Milan, Italy. Hierarchical Linear Models with random effects were used; supplementary analyses were repeated for the completers’ subsample (N = 53). Results: Suicidality, self-harm, emotional and behavioral dysregulation decreased in both groups after one year. Strategies to regulate intense emotions and mindfulness skills improved better in GET for the completers. Unconditional growth models indicated that subjects differed in the elevation and in the rate of change. Discussion: GET and DBT reached comparable outcomes on target variables over one year. Group setting or the intensity of treatment could be hypothesized as GET-specific therapeutic mechanisms.

description: Ce travail s'inscrit dans une volonté de combattre l'échec scolaire, dont la corrélation avec la maîtrise du langage a été identifiée par des recherches antérieures en didactique. La mise en place d'ateliers philosophiques est reconnue pour développer l'esprit critique et l'estime de soi. Permet-elle alors, dès le cycle I, de mieux maîtriser le langage, et ainsi la pensée en adoptant une attitude de secondarisation qui consiste à se décentrer pour atteindre des niveaux d'abstraction plus élevés ? En d'autres termes, la pratique régulière d'ateliers philosophiques permet-elle de mieux connaître les attentes du métier d'élève et d'accéder avec plus d'aisance aux savoirs scolaires ? Sur les traces de Lipman, Levine et Tozzi, nous avons mené, dans deux classes de 4H, des ateliers philosophiques en nous appuyant sur l'approche de recherche design (RDE), propre à la recherche dans l'enseignement. Celle-ci a été modifiée et adaptée tout au long du semestre pour répondre à nos besoins, mais aussi pour s'ajuster à l'évolution de nos gestes professionnels. Sur un rythme hebdomadaire, nous avons ainsi mis en place deux séries consécutives de cinq à six ateliers philosophiques, chacune suivie d'un cercle de réflexion, dont la logique était identique mais centrée sur des objets d'apprentissage. L'analyse des échanges langagiers de nos élèves de 4H a nourri notre réflexion et ce mémoire en est le produit : il tente d'analyser l'évolution de la secondarisation chez les jeunes élèves lorsqu'elle est consciemment accompagnée par l'enseignant·e. Il tente aussi d'en mesurer l'impact tout en mettant en exergue l'importance de faire évoluer nos gestes professionnels.

description: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a debilitating and complex condition that consists of a ‘primary’ injury followed by a ‘secondary’ injury, which develops over time. Much of the morbidity occurs due to the secondary injury, for which there are currently no approved pharmacotherapies. This thesis is structured as a study of models of TBI and an investigation of drugs to treat the condition. First, an injury quantification methodology was developed in an in vitro model of TBI using organotypic hippocampal slice cultures and propidium iodide fluorescence. Second, ‘combination therapies’ with the noble gases xenon and argon, progesterone and meloxicam to modulate multiple secondary injury mechanisms were explored. 25% argon and 3μM, 10μM and 25μM progesterone are additively protective at 72 hours. Co-administering 25μM progesterone with 25% argon (29±6% protective) abolished injury. Co-administering 50% argon (41±5% protective) synergistically abolished injury with 3μM progesterone and additively abolished injury with 10μM and 25μM progesterone. 25% xenon and 3μM, 10μM and 25μM progesterone were additively protective at 72 hours. Co-administering 25μM progesterone with 25% xenon (44±5% protective) abolished injury. 25% argon in combination with 0.1μM and 1μM meloxicam works additively. Neuroprotection by 25% argon doubled when co-administered with 1μM meloxicam. 25% xenon and 1μM meloxicam are additive, abolishing injury at 72 hours unlike sub-maximally effective 25% xenon. Third, experiments to calibrate a controlled cortical impact (CCI) model of in vivo TBI were conducted. Contusion volume was measured and the expression of inflammatory cytokines was quantified in blood and brain samples at different time points. Finally, a Drosophila melanogaster model of polytrauma was developed as a high throughput assay. Drosophila are more sensitive to trauma in the early phase of their circadian day. Hypothermia treatment (40C) increased survival to the level of uninjured shams at 24 hours and more than doubled survival over 14 days.
