description: This article presents four inquiry-based learning activities developed for a liberal arts math course. The activities cover four topics: the Pythagorean theorem, interest theory, optimization, and the Monty Hall problem. Each activity consists of a dialogue, with a theme and characters related to the topic, and a manipulative, that allow students to physically interact with the mathematics they are doing. The overall goal is to create a new way for liberal arts students to engage in mathematics, while simultaneously cultivating an appreciation of the subject.

description: The hydrolytic enzymes β-1,3-glucanases (EC3.2.1.39) an known to be involved in plant defense reactions against pathogens and in developmental events. We have obtained two partial cDNA clones, corresponding to Vitis vinifera β-1,3-glucanase gene sequences (VvGlu1/7 and VvGlu26). The expression of VvGlu1/7 was studied in grape berries at different developmental stages and in wounded berries with or without salicylic acid elicitation. No constitutive expression was observed in young berries, whereas the induction of VvGlu1/7 transcription was detected during fruit ripening. By contrast, synthesis of mRNA coding for this isoform was generated in the first stage of rapid berry growth in response to wounding treatments with and without salicylic acid.

description: Triploid grapes were produced by in ovulo embryo culture. Ovules were obtained from 5 crosses: Rosario Bianco (V. vinifera L. 2x) x Kyoho (V. vinifera x V. labrusca L. 4x), Katta Kourgan(V. vinifera L. 2x)x Kyoho, Kyoho x Rosario Bianco, Kyoho x Sekirei (V. vinifera L. 2x) and Kyoho x Rizamat (V. vinifera L. 2x). Most embryos were obtained from ovules cultured at veraison. The addition of indole-3-acetic acid (2.0 mg·l-1) and gibberellic acid (0.4 mg·l-1 to 1/2 MS (half strength macro-elements) medium promoted the formation and growth of embryos. Although only a few embryos germinated directly from ruptured ovules, embryos excised from cultured ovules germinated successfully by in vitro culture. This paper demonstrates that in ovulo embryo culture is expected to be an efficient method to produce triploid grapes.

description: In einem Gefäßversuch mit Grünstecklingen der Unterlagssorte SO 4 (Vitis berlandieri x Vitis riparia) wurde der Einfluss einer unterschiedlichen Bandinokulation mit dem AM-Pilz Glomus mosseae (Nicol. et Gerd.) Gerdemann et Trappe auf die Entwicklung des Pilzes innerhalb des Wurzelsystems untersucht. Hierbei wurde in 70 cm tiefe Wurzelbeobachtungskästen mit einem P-armen, sterilisierten Rebschulboden in eine Tiefe von 9-18 cm bzw. 36-45 cm eine 9 cm dicke Inokulationsschicht eingebracht. Im unmittelbaren Inokulationsbereich war bei beiden Inokulationsvarianten mit 45 bzw. 35% der AM-Infektionsgrad am höchsten. Mit zunehmendem Abstand vom Inokulationsband waren die Rebwurzeln geringer mykorrhiziert bzw. es konnte keine AM-Infektion festgestellt werden. Durch die Inokulation im oberen Bodenbereich wurden Trockengewicht und P-Gehalt der SO 4-Stecklinge erhöht. Die Zn-Gehalte in den Blattspreiten waren bei beiden Inokulationsmethoden erhöht, der Cu-Gehalt bei Inokulation des unteren Bodenbereichs. Bereits eine Teilbesiedlung des Wurzelsystems mit AM führte zu ausreichenden Inokulationserfolgen in Form von erhöhten Nährstoffgehalten in den Blättern und erhöhter Trockensubstanzbildung. Die Inokulation in der größeren Bodentiefe (36-45 cm) führte zu einer verzögerten Mykorrhizierung der Wurzeln, so dass möglicherweise die positiven Effekte des AM-Pilzes bei dieser Inokulationsmethode nicht zum Tragen kamen. Influence of different inoculum places of the mycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseae on mycorrhizal colonization in grapevine rootstocks (Vitis sp.) Grapevine rootstocks (Vitis berlandieri x Vitis riparia, cv. SO 4) were grown in pots with sterilised soil with low P level from a nursery to test the effect of a local supply of inoculum of an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (Glomus mosseae [Nicol. et Gerd.] Gerdemann et Trappe) on mycorrhizal colonization of the root system. The inoculum was placed in a 9-cm deep band either in 9-18 cm or in 36-45 cm soil depths. After 6 weeks of growth, mycorrhizal colonisation of roots was highest in the inoculated soil zone. With increasing distance from the inoculum band, mycorrhizal colonization decreased or was absent. When the inoculum was placed in the top soil, the shoot dry weight and the leaf blade Zn and P concentrations significantly increased in mycorrhizal as compared to nonmycorrhizal plants. When the inoculum was placed in 36-45 cm soil depth, leaf blade Zn and Cu concentrations increased in mycorrhizal plants, but shoot dry weight was not affected. In conclusion, a locally restricted mycorrhizal colonization of the root system was sufficient to increase growth and nutrient uptake of grape rootstocks.

description: ABSTRACTHuman health risks due to exposure of heavy metals in the atmospheric air of Tomsk, Russia, were studied. The concentrations of 22 metals in the ambient air were calculated on the basis of the ICP–MS experimental determination of their contents in the insoluble fraction of snow cover. Non-carcinogenic hazards were estimated for the areas of power plant («Zone PP»), brickworks location («Zone BF»), zone influenced by concrete product plants («Zone CP»), and petrochemical plant suburbs («Zone PCP»). Manganese, Al, Cu, Ba make the largest contribution to the integral non-cancer hazard caused by chronic inhalation intake in all areas. Zinc is added to the above listed elements in the «Zone PP» and V, Co, Cr, and Ni in the «Zone BF» are also added. Densely populated residential areas «Zone BF», «Zone PP» were characterized by the higher levels of diseases risks associated with human inhalation intake of metals in comparison with other areas. The dust load should be primarily decreased in the zones subjected to harmful effects of brick factories and other construction materials. As to the power station, the portion of natural gas in consumption should increase from year to year for decreasing heavy metal emissions from burning of coal.

description: Interactions between pathogens, host microbiota and the immune system influence many physiological and pathological processes. In the 20th century, widespread dermal vaccination with vaccinia virus (VACV) led to the eradication of smallpox but how VACV interacts with the microbiota and whether this influences the efficacy of vaccination are largely unknown. Here we report that intradermal vaccination with VACV induces a large increase in the number of commensal bacteria in infected tissue, which enhance recruitment of inflammatory cells, promote tissue damage and influence the host response. Treatment of vaccinated specific-pathogen-free (SPF) mice with antibiotic, or infection of genetically-matched germ-free (GF) animals caused smaller lesions without alteration in virus titre. Tissue damage correlated with enhanced neutrophil and T cell infiltration and levels of pro-inflammatory tissue cytokines and chemokines. One month after vaccination, GF and both groups of SPF mice had equal numbers of VACV-specific CD8+ T cells and were protected from disease induced by VACV challenge, despite lower levels of VACV-neutralising antibodies observed in GF animals. Thus, skin microbiota may provide an adjuvant-like stimulus during vaccination with VACV and influence the host response to vaccination.

description: The taxonomically diverse terrestrial tetrapod fauna from the late Mississippian East Kirkton Limestone includes the earliest known members of stem Amphibia and stem Amniota. Here we name and describe a new East Kirkton tetrapod with an unusual hindlimb morphology reminiscent of that of several stem- and primitive crown amniotes. It displays a unique ilium with two slender and elongate processes and a 5-digit pes with a long, stout metatarsal IV and a greatly elongate digit IV. The new taxon broadens our knowledge of East Kirkton tetrapods, adding to the remarkable diversity of their hindlimb constructions, functional specializations, locomotory modes, and adaptations to a wide variety of substrates. An unweighted character parsimony analysis places the new taxon in a polytomy alongside some other Carboniferous groups. Conversely, weighted parsimony and Bayesian analyses retrieve it among the earliest diverging stem amniotes, either as the basalmost anthracosaur or within a clade that includes also Eldeceeon and Silvanerpeton, crownward of an array of chroniosaurs plus anthracosaurs.

description: Drosophila melanogaster olfactory neurons have long been thought to express only one chemosensory receptor gene family. There are two main olfactory receptor gene families in Drosophila, the odorant receptors (ORs) and the ionotropic receptors (IRs). The dozens of odorant-binding receptors in each family require at least one co-receptor gene in order to function: Orco for ORs, and Ir25a, Ir8a, and Ir76b for IRs. Using a new genetic knock-in strategy, we targeted the four co-receptors representing the main chemosensory families in D. melanogaster (Orco, Ir8a, Ir76b, Ir25a). Co-receptor knock-in expression patterns were verified as accurate representations of endogenous expression. We find extensive overlap in expression among the different co-receptors. As defined by innervation into antennal lobe glomeruli, Ir25a is broadly expressed in 88% of all olfactory sensory neuron classes and is co-expressed in 82% of Orco+ neuron classes, including all neuron classes in the maxillary palp. Orco, Ir8a, and Ir76b expression patterns are also more expansive than previously assumed. Single sensillum recordings from Orco-expressing Ir25a mutant antennal and palpal neurons identify changes in olfactory responses. We also find co-expression of Orco and Ir25a in Drosophila sechellia and Anopheles coluzzii olfactory neurons. These results suggest that co-expression of chemosensory receptors is common in insect olfactory neurons. Together, our data present the first comprehensive map of chemosensory co-receptor expression and reveal their unexpected widespread co-expression in the fly olfactory system.

description: This paper presents an online smooth-path lane-change control framework. We focus on dense traffic where inter-vehicle space gaps are narrow, and cooperation with surrounding drivers is essential to achieve the lane-change maneuver. We propose a two-stage control framework that harmonizes Model Predictive Control (MPC) with Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) by utilizing driving intentions to generate smooth lane-change maneuvers. To improve performance in practice, the system is augmented with an adaptive safety boundary and a Kalman Filter to mitigate sensor noise. Simulation studies are investigated in different levels of traffic density and cooperativeness of other drivers. The simulation results support the effectiveness, driving comfort, and safety of the proposed method.

description: Phase-matched harmonic conversion of visible laser light into soft x-rays was demonstrated. The recently developed technique of guided-wave frequency conversion was used to upshift light from 800 nanometers to the range from 17 to 32 nanometers. This process increased the coherent x-ray output by factors of 10^2 to 10^3 compared to the non-phase-matched case. This source uses a small-scale (sub-millijoule) high repetition-rate laser and will enable a wide variety of new experimental investigations in linear and nonlinear x-ray science.

description: Among the first events after immersion of surfaces in the ocean is surface ‘conditioning’. Here, the accumulation and composition of the conditioning films formed after immersion in the ocean are analyzed. In order to account for different surface chemistries, five self-assembled monolayers that differ in resistance to microfouling and wettability were used. Water samples from two static immersion test sites along the east coast of Florida were collected at two different times of the year and used for experiments. Spectral ellipsometry revealed that conditioning films were formed within the first 24 h and contact angle goniometry showed that these films changed the wettability and rendered hydrophobic surfaces more hydrophilic and vice versa. Infrared reflection adsorption spectroscopy showed that the composition of the conditioning film depended on both the wettability and immersion site. Laboratory and field assays showed that the presence of a conditioning film did not markedly influence settlement of microorganisms.

description: Intermetallic compounds containing f-electron elements have been prototypical materials for investigating strong electron correlations and quantum criticality (QC). Their heavy fermion ground state evoked by the magnetic f-electrons is susceptible to the onset of quantum phases, such as magnetism or superconductivity, due to the enhanced effective mass (m*) and a corresponding decrease of the Fermi temperature. However, the presence of f-electron valence fluctuations to a non-magnetic state is regarded an anathema to QC, as it usually generates a paramagnetic Fermi-liquid state with quasiparticles of moderate m*. Such systems are typically isotropic, with a characteristic energy scale T0 of the order of hundreds of kelvins that require large magnetic fields or pressures to promote a valence or magnetic instability. Here we show the discovery of a quantum critical behaviour and a Lifshitz transition under low magnetic field in an intermediate valence compound α-YbAlB4. The QC origin is attributed to the anisotropic hybridization between the conduction and localized f-electrons. These findings suggest a new route to bypass the large valence energy scale in developing the QC.

description: Multimodal single-cell profiling methods that measure protein expression with oligo-conjugated antibodies hold promise for comprehensive dissection of cellular heterogeneity, yet the resulting protein counts have substantial technical noise that can mask biological variations. Here we integrate experiments and computational analyses to reveal two major noise sources and develop a method called "dsb" (denoised and scaled by background) to normalize and denoise droplet-based protein expression data. We discover that protein-specific noise originates from unbound antibodies encapsulated during droplet generation; this noise can thus be accurately estimated and corrected by utilizing protein levels in empty droplets. We also find that isotype control antibodies and the background protein population average in each cell exhibit significant correlations across single cells, we thus use their shared variance to correct for cell-to-cell technical noise in each cell. We validate these findings by analyzing the performance of dsb in eight independent datasets spanning multiple technologies, including CITE-seq, ASAP-seq, and TEA-seq. Compared to existing normalization methods, our approach improves downstream analyses by better unmasking biologically meaningful cell populations. Our method is available as an open-source R package that interfaces easily with existing single cell software platforms such as Seurat, Bioconductor, and Scanpy and can be accessed at "dsb [ https://cran.r-project.org/package=dsb ]".

description: Air quality co-benefits can potentially reduce the costs of greenhouse gas mitigation. However, whereas many studies of the cost of greenhouse gas mitigation model the macroeconomic welfare impacts of mitigation, most studies of air quality co-benefits do not. We employ a U.S. computable general equilibrium economic model previously linked to an air quality modeling system and enhance it to represent the economy-wide welfare impacts of fine particulate matter. We present a first application of this method to explore the efficiency and distributional implications of a Clean Energy Standard (CES) and a Cap and Trade (CAT) program that both reduce CO2 emissions by 10% in 2030 relative to 2006. We find that co-benefits from fine particulate matter reduction (median $6; $2 to $10/tCO2) completely offset policy costs by 110% (40% to 190%), transforming the net welfare impact of the CAT into a gain of $1 (−$5 to $7) billion 2005$. For the CES, the corresponding co-benefit (median $8; $3 to $14/tCO2) is a smaller fraction (median 5%; 2% to 9%) of its higher policy cost. The eastern United States garners 78% and 71% of co-benefits for the CES and CAT, respectively. By representing the effects of pollution-related morbidities and mortalities as an impact to labor and the demand for health services, we find that the welfare impact per unit of reduced pollution varies by region. These interregional differences can enhance the preference of some regions, such as Texas, for a CAT over a CES, or switch the calculation of which policy yields higher co-benefits, compared with an approach that uses one valuation for all regions. This framework could be applied to quantify consistent air quality impacts of other pricing instruments, subnational trading programs, or green tax swaps.Implications: Policies that reduce CO2 emissions can also reduce PM2.5 (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter <2.5 μm), yielding unintended economic benefits. Using an integrated assessment model linking policies and emissions to a consistent treatment of costs and co-benefits, we find that PM2.5 co-benefits offset the costs of reducing CO2 through Cap and Trade (CAT) in the United States. An equivalent Clean Energy Standard is more costly, and its higher PM2.5 reductions offset up to a tenth of its costs. Most co-benefits accrue to eastern states, and interregional differences and indirect economic effects shift those gains further to New York and New England. Economy-wide co-benefits reduce the costs and shift the distributional impacts of U.S. carbon policies.

description: Signalling of the calcitonin-like receptor (CLR) is multifaceted, due to its interaction with receptor activity modifying proteins (RAMPs), and three endogenous peptide agonists. Previous studies have focused on the bias of G protein signalling mediated by the receptor and receptor internalisation of the CLR-RAMP complex has been assumed to follow the same pattern as other Class B1 G Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCRs). Here we sought to measure desensitisation of the three CLR-RAMP complexes in response to the three peptide agonists, through the measurement of β-arrestin recruitment and internalisation. We then delved further into the mechanism of desensitisation through modulation of β-arrestin activity and the expression of GPCR kinases (GRKs), a key component of homologous GPCR desensitisation. First, we have shown that CLR-RAMP1 is capable of potently recruiting β-arrestin1 and 2, subsequently undergoing rapid endocytosis, and that CLR-RAMP2 and -RAMP3 also utilise these pathways, although to a lesser extent. Following this we have shown that agonist-dependent internalisation of CLR is β-arrestin dependent, but not required for full agonism. Overexpression of GRK2-6 was then found to decrease receptor signalling, due to an agonist-independent reduction in surface expression of the CLR-RAMP complex. These results represent the first systematic analysis of the importance of β-arrestins and GRKs in CLR-RAMP signal transduction and pave the way for further investigation regarding other Class B1 GPCRs.

description: Clustering is a fundamental problem in many scientific applications. Standard methods such as k-means, Gaussian mixture models, and hierarchical clustering, however, are beset by local minima, which are sometimes drastically suboptimal. Recently introduced convex relaxations of k-means and hierarchical clustering shrink cluster centroids toward one another and ensure a unique global minimizer. In this work we present two splitting methods for solving the convex clustering problem. The first is an instance of the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM); the second is an instance of the alternating minimization algorithm (AMA). In contrast to previously considered algorithms, our ADMM and AMA formulations provide simple and unified frameworks for solving the convex clustering problem under the previously studied norms and open the door to potentially novel norms. We demonstrate the performance of our algorithm on both simulated and real data examples. While the differences between the two algorithms appear to be minor on the surface, complexity analysis and numerical experiments show AMA to be significantly more efficient. This article has supplemental materials available online.

description: We describe here the full synthesis of a novel family of bifunctional ligands and present a complete study of their extraction properties in regards to an aqueous phosphoric acid solution containing uranium. We developed a high yielding synthesis of amido phosphonate ligands and focused our investigation on the effect of steric hindrance on the methylene bridge between the two functions. These new bifunctional ligands were found to extract selectively hexavalent uranium U(VI) with high distribution coefficient (D) and selectivity towards iron Fe (III) in 5 M phosphoric acid solution. From a structure-activity approach a specific ligand called DEHCNPB has been put forward in regard to the outstanding results obtained for the selective extraction, and quantitative recovery of uranium compared to the URPHOS reference system.

description: BACKGROUND: In the study of transposable elements (TEs), the generation of a high confidence set of consensus sequences that represent the diversity of TEs found in a given genome is a key step in the path to investigate these fascinating genomic elements. Many algorithms and pipelines are available to automatically identify putative TE families present in a genome. Despite the availability of these valuable resources, producing a library of high-quality full-length TE consensus sequences largely remains a process of manual curation. This know-how is often passed on from mentor-to-mentee within research groups, making it difficult for those outside the field to access this highly specialised skill. RESULTS: Our manuscript attempts to fill this gap by providing a set of detailed computer protocols, software recommendations and video tutorials for those aiming to manually curate TEs. Detailed step-by-step protocols, aimed at the complete beginner, are presented in the Supplementary Methods. CONCLUSIONS: The proposed set of programs and tools presented here will make the process of manual curation achievable and amenable to all researchers and in special to those new to the field of TEs.

description: The goose barnacle Dosima fascicularis produces an excessive amount of adhesive (cement), which has a double function, being used for attachment to various substrata and also as a float (buoy). This paper focuses on the chemical composition of the cement, which has a water content of 92%. Scanning electron microscopy with EDX was used to measure the organic elements C, O and N in the foam-like cement. Vibrational spectroscopy (FTIR, Raman) provided further information about the overall secondary structure, which tended towards a β-sheet. Disulphide bonds could not be detected by Raman spectroscopy. The cystine, methionine, histidine and tryptophan contents were each below 1% in the cement. Analyses of the cement revealed a protein content of 84% and a total carbohydrate content of 1.5% in the dry cement. The amino acid composition, 1D/2D-PAGE and MS/MS sequence analysis revealed a de novo set of peptides/proteins with low homologies with other proteins such as the barnacle cement proteins, largely with an acidic pI between 3.5 and 6.0. The biochemical composition of the cement of D. fascicularis is similar to that of other barnacles, but it shows interesting variations.
