description: A postsynaptic membrane-associated protein of M(r) 43,000 (43-kD protein) is involved in clustering of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) at the neuromuscular junction. Previous studies have shown that recombinant mouse 43-kD protein forms membrane-associated clusters when expressed in Xenopus oocytes. Coexpression with the AChR results in colocalization of the receptor with the 43-kD protein clusters (Froehner, S. C., C. W. Luetje, P. B. Scotland, and J. Patrick, 1990. Neuron. 5:403-410). To understand the mechanism of this clustering, we have studied the role of the carboxy-terminal region of the 43-kD protein. The amino acid sequence of this region predicts two tandem zinc finger structures followed by a serine phosphorylation site. Both Torpedo 43-kD protein and the carboxy-terminal region of the mouse 43-kD protein bind radioisotopic zinc. Mutation of two histidine residues in this predicted domain greatly attenuates zinc binding, lending support to the proposal that this region forms zinc fingers. When expressed in oocytes, the ability of this mutant 43-kD protein to form clusters is greatly reduced. Its ability to interact with AChR, however, is retained. In contrast, a mutation that eliminates the potential serine phosphorylation site has no effect on clustering of the 43-kD protein or on interaction with the AChR. These findings suggest that protein interactions via the zinc finger domain of the 43- kD protein may be important for AChR clustering at the synapse.

description: Macromolecular platforms for delivery of therapeutics have long been a desirable strategy for treatment of various pathologies. While improving the bioavailability and efficacy of certain therapeutics, these methods have historically been limited due to systemic toxicity or irregular and uncontrolled release profiles. This has led to substantial interest in the design and application of biomaterials which can modulate activity or exhibit precise delivery of therapeutic agents to the disease site in response to certain physiochemical triggers. Such “stimuli-responsive biomaterials” can respond to their environment to allow for specified treatment tailored for spatial and temporal accuracy. This dissertation discusses the development of various stimuli-responsive platforms for therapeutic treatment including temperature responsive polymeric vaccine adjuvants and pH-responsive copolymers for controlled payload release. This is achieved by incorporating rationally designed therapeutic agents or chemical functionalities into polymeric architectures with comonomers to yield macromolecular biomaterials which can be tailored toward a desired clinical benefit. This modular approach allows for a variety of therapeutic strategies together with the performance benefits of macromolecular scaffolds towards the chosen application. Specifically, the development of novel thermoresponsive vaccine adjuvants demonstrates modulation of proinflammatory immune response inversely related to increasing temperature. The combination of rationally designed glycolipid adjuvants with the thermoresponsive material polyN-isopropyl acrylamide affords an adjuvant wherein potency itself is manipulated in response to temperature. Additionally, translation of established acid-labile phorsphoramidate linker chemistry to hydrophilic polymeric carriers has successfully imparted their selective release profiles to macromolecular systems, expanding the repertoire of delivery strategies for anti-cancer therapeutics with efforts to improve circulation times and availability of traditionally hydrophobic chemotherapeutics. As stimuli-responsive biomaterials continue to progress, their capacity to reshape immunotherapy and therapeutic administration holds immense prospects, restructuring the landscape of treatment methodologies and auguring heightened prognoses for patients.

description: Статья посвящена псалиям, найденным в погребениях одного из курганов могильника Степное-1 в Южном Зауралье. Интерес представляет уже то, что в двух погребениях найдено значительное количество псалиев – 11 экз. Проведен трасологический анализ находок, определены детали изготовления и использования этих псалиев, проведена графическая реконструкция некоторых из них. Опираясь на полученную технологическую информацию в сочетании с контекстом нахождения псалиев, авторы приходят к выводу о театрализованности синташтинского погребального обряда, его слабой связи с личностью погребенных индивидов и ориентации на отражение некоего коллективного "message".

description: The paper briefly summarizes the recent record and future needs for agricultural production in CENTO countries. It then examines recent agricultural growth patterns in selected countries with respect to eight factors that seem to be highly important to agricultural development. These include four conditioning factors relating to land tenure, the price of farm products, availability of markets, and supply of consumer goods and four production factors including informational services, supplies of production requisites, credit facilities, and investments in development of land resources, particularly irrigation and land reclamation. Recent development patterns in the United States, Japan, Taiwan, Greece and Mexico, countries with good records in increasing agricultural production, reveals that all eight factors have been highly or moderately favorable in recent years. In contrast, the record in three less successful countries, Chile, Spain, and India, reveals that until very recently most of these factors have been unfavorable and the others only moderately favorable. Governments of developing countries have a major role in creating conditions favorable to development, including establishment of the administrative machinery and staff needed to implement agricultural progress.

description: Heterogeneity of neural attributes has recently gained a lot of attention and is increasing recognized as a crucial feature in neural processing. Despite its importance, this physiological feature has traditionally been neglected in theoretical studies of cortical neural networks. Thus, there is still a lot unknown about the consequences of cellular and circuit heterogeneity in spiking neural networks. In particular, combining network or synaptic heterogeneity and intrinsic heterogeneity has yet to be considered systematically despite the fact that both are known to exist and likely have significant roles in neural network dynamics. In a canonical recurrent spiking neural network model, we study how these two forms of heterogeneity lead to different distributions of excitatory firing rates. To analytically characterize how these types of heterogeneities affect the network, we employ a dimension reduction method that relies on a combination of Monte Carlo simulations and probability density function equations. We find that the relationship between intrinsic and network heterogeneity has a strong effect on the overall level of heterogeneity of the firing rates. Specifically, this relationship can lead to amplification or attenuation of firing rate heterogeneity, and these effects depend on whether the recurrent network is firing asynchronously or rhythmically firing. These observations are captured with the aforementioned reduction method, and furthermore simpler analytic descriptions based on this dimension reduction method are developed. The final analytic descriptions provide compact and descriptive formulas for how the relationship between intrinsic and network heterogeneity determines the firing rate heterogeneity dynamics in various settings.

description: This paper presents a new method for studying electromechanical transients in power systems using three phase, combined transmission and distribution models (hybrid models). The methodology models individual phases of an electric network and associated unbalance in load and generation. Therefore, the impacts of load unbalance, single phase distributed generation and line impedance unbalance on electromechanical transients can be studied without using electromagnetic transient simulation (EMTP) programs. The implementation of this methodology in software is called the Three Phase Dynamics Analyzer (TPDA). Case studies included in the paper demonstrate the accuracy of TPDA and its ability to simulate electromechanical transients in hybrid models. TPDA has the potential for providing electric utilities and power system planners with more accurate assessment of system stability than traditional dynamic simulation software that assume balanced network topology.

description: Integrin-mediated cell adhesion, or cross-linking of integrins using antibodies, often results in the enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation of certain intracellular proteins, suggesting that integrins may play a role in signal transduction processes. In fibroblasts, platelets, and carcinoma cells, a novel tyrosine kinase termed pp125FAK has been implicated in integrin-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation. In some cell types, integrin ligation or cell adhesion has also been shown to result in the increased expression of certain genes. Although it seems reasonable to hypothesize that integrin-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation and integrin-mediated gene induction are related, until now, there has been no direct evidence supporting this hypothesis. In the current report, we explore the relationship between integrin- mediated tyrosine phosphorylation and gene induction in human monocytes. We demonstrate that monocyte adherence to tissue culture dishes or to extracellular matrix proteins is followed by a rapid and profound increase in tyrosine phosphorylation, with the predominant phosphorylated component being a protein of 76 kD (pp76). Tyrosine phosphorylation of pp76 and other monocyte proteins can also be triggered by incubation of monocytes with antibodies to the integrin beta 1 subunit, or by F(ab')2 fragments of such antibodies, but not by F(ab) fragments. The ligation of beta 1 integrins with antibodies or F(ab')2 fragments also induces the expression of immediate-early (IE) genes such as IL-1 beta. When adhering monocytes are treated with the tyrosine kinase inhibitors genistein or herbimycin, both phosphorylation of pp76 and induction of IL-1 beta message are blocked in a dose-dependent fashion. Similarly, treatment with genistein or herbimycin can block tyrosine phosphorylation of pp76 and IL-1 beta message induction mediated by ligation of beta 1 integrin with antibodies. These observations suggest that protein tyrosine phosphorylation is an important aspect of integrin-mediated IE gene induction in monocytes. The cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase pp125FAK, although important in integrin signaling in other cell types, seems not to play a role in monocytes because this protein could not be detected in these cells.

During fieldwork, the presumption of familiarity with a society may hamper the vigilance of a native researcher, causing misunderstandings between him/her and the participants. This article presents some of the incidents I have experienced while I was conducting fieldwork in Yaoundé, my home town. These incidents led me to confront my personal assumptions and revealed local socio-political issues. Whether the researcher feels close or not to the society under study, his position during fieldwork - as my experience with immigrants in Montreal will illustrate - remains a continual negotiation. What is important is not to observe, or speak, as an insider or outsider, but to demonstrate how this position does, or does not, allow for a better understanding of the subject at hand. keywords : positionnality, reflexivity, ethnography, insider, pentecostalism, muslim, immigrants, interdisciplinarity, ethics, Yaoundé, Montreal.

description: Birds change the shape and area of their wings to an exceptional degree, surpassing insects, bats and aircraft in their ability to morph their wings for a variety of tasks. This morphing is governed by a musculoskeletal system, which couples elbow and wrist motion. Since the discovery of this effect in 1839, the planar ‘drawing parallels’ mechanism has been used to explain the coupling. Remarkably, this mechanism has never been corroborated from quantitative motion data. Therefore, we measured how the wing skeleton of a pigeon (Columba livia) moves during morphing. Despite earlier planar assumptions, we found that the skeletal motion paths are highly three-dimensional and do not lie in the anatomical plane, ruling out the ‘drawing parallels’ mechanism. Furthermore, μCT scans in seven consecutive poses show how the two wrist bones contribute to morphing, particularly the sliding ulnare. From these data, we infer the joint types for all six bones that form the wing morphing mechanism and corroborate the most parsimonious mechanism based on least-squares error minimization. Remarkably, the algorithm shows that all optimal four-bar mechanisms either lock, unable to track the highly three-dimensional bone motion paths, or require the radius and ulna to cross for accuracy, which is anatomically unrealistic. In contrast, the algorithm finds that a six-bar mechanism recreates the measured motion accurately with a parallel radius and ulna and a sliding ulnare. This revises our mechanistic understanding of how birds morph their wings, and offers quantitative inspiration for engineering morphing wings.

description: We propose a model for increasing liquid saturation in a granular packing which can account for liquid redistribution at saturation levels beyond the well-studied capillary bridge regime. The model is capable of resolving and combining capillary bridges, menisci and fully saturated pores to form local liquid clusters of any shape. They can exchange volume due to the local Laplace pressure gradient via a liquid film on the surfaces of grains. Local instabilities like Haines jumps trigger the discontinuous evolution of the liquid front. The applicability of the model is demonstrated and compared to benchmark experiments on the level of individual liquid structures as well as on larger systems.

Patterns of bud-site selection in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Creators: name: Pringle, John R.
name: Chant, John
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1995

description: Cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae select bud sites in either of two distinct spatial patterns, known as axial (expressed by a and alpha cells) and bipolar (expressed by a/alpha cells). Fluorescence, time-lapse, and scanning electron microscopy have been used to obtain more precise descriptions of these patterns. From these descriptions, we conclude that in the axial pattern, the new bud forms directly adjacent to the division site in daughter cells and directly adjacent to the immediately preceding division site (bud site) in mother cells, with little influence from earlier sites. Thus, the division site appears to be marked by a spatial signal(s) that specifies the location of the new bud site and is transient in that it only lasts from one budding event to the next. Consistent with this conclusion, starvation and refeeding of axially budding cells results in the formation of new buds at nonaxial sites. In contrast, in bipolar budding cells, both poles are specified persistently as potential bud sites, as shown by the observations that a pole remains competent for budding even after several generations of nonuse and that the poles continue to be used for budding after starvation and refeeding. It appears that the specification of the two poles as potential bud sites occurs before a daughter cell forms its first bud, as a daughter can form this bud near either pole. However, there is a bias towards use of the pole distal to the division site. The strength of this bias varies from strain to strain, is affected by growth conditions, and diminishes in successive cell cycles. The first bud that forms near the distal pole appears to form at the very tip of the cell, whereas the first bud that forms near the pole proximal to the original division site (as marked by the birth scar) is generally somewhat offset from the tip and adjacent to (or overlapping) the birth scar. Subsequent buds can form near either pole and appear almost always to be adjacent either to the birth scar or to a previous bud site. These observations suggest that the distal tip of the cell and each division site carry persistent signals that can direct the selection of a bud site in any subsequent cell cycle.

description: Excerpts from the report: This report is limited to a discussion of agricultural sector strategy for Costa Rica and AID's support to make that strategy work. It takes into account the capital and technical assistance being provided by other international agencies and the on-going activities by the GOCR and private agribusiness organizations in the country. In general, the orientation is that AID Support should be limited to those areas of agricultural development where there is inadequate support from other sources inside the country or outside. Thus, the traditional export commodities with their strong financial and operational foundations, while of paramount importance to the country's economy, do not require AID support. On the other hand, the problem of small farmers, particularly in food crops, is receiving scant assistance from any quarter despite their importance to the socio-political development of the country. Rural workers too, though currently enjoying relatively good earnings in the large plantations, are vulnerable to shifts in the market for the major export crops. Little is being done to deal with the eventuality of large numbers losing such employment. AID support of the GOCR efforts on behalf of these groups is urgently needed as part of any overall agricultural and country development assistance program.

description: Yeast cells can select bud sites in either of two distinct spatial patterns. a cells and alpha cells typically bud in an axial pattern, in which both mother and daughter cells form new buds adjacent to the preceding division site. In contrast, a/alpha cells typically bud in a bipolar pattern, in which new buds can form at either pole of the cell. The BUD3 gene is specifically required for the axial pattern of budding: mutations of BUD3 (including a deletion) affect the axial pattern but not the bipolar pattern. The sequence of BUD3 predicts a product (Bud3p) of 1635 amino acids with no strong or instructive similarities to previously known proteins. However, immunofluorescence localization of Bud3p has revealed that it assembles in an apparent double ring encircling the mother-bud neck shortly after the mitotic spindle forms. The Bud3p structure at the neck persists until cytokinesis, when it splits to yield a single ring of Bud3p marking the division site on each of the two progeny cells. These single rings remain for much of the ensuing unbudded phase and then disassemble. The Bud3p rings are indistinguishable from those of the neck filament- associated proteins (Cdc3p, Cdc10p, Cdc11p, and Cdc12p), except that the latter proteins assemble before bud emergence and remain in place for the duration of the cell cycle. Upon shift of a temperature- sensitive cdc12 mutant to restrictive temperature, localization of both Bud3p and the neck filament-associated proteins is rapidly lost. In addition, a haploid cdc11 mutant loses its axial-budding pattern upon shift to restrictive temperature. Taken together, the data suggest that Bud3p and the neck filaments are linked in a cycle in which each controls the position of the other's assembly: Bud3p assembles onto the neck filaments in one cell cycle to mark the site for axial budding (including assembly of the new ring of neck filaments) in the next cell cycle. As the expression and localization of Bud3p are similar in a, alpha, and a/alpha cells, additional regulation must exist such that Bud3p restricts the position of bud formation in a and alpha cells but not in a/alpha cells.

description: What if a successful company starts to receive a torrent of low-valued (one or two stars) recommendations in its mobile apps from multiple users within a short (say one month) period of time? Is it legitimate evidence that the apps have lost in quality, or an intentional plan (via lockstep behavior) to steal market share through defamation? In the case of a systematic attack to one's reputation, it might not be possible to manually discern between legitimate and fraudulent interaction within the huge universe of possibilities of user-product recommendation. Previous works have focused on this issue, but none of them took into account the context, modeling, and scale that we consider in this paper. Here, we propose the novel method Online-Recommendation Fraud ExcLuder (ORFEL) to detect defamation and/or illegitimate promotion of online products by using vertex-centric asynchronous parallel processing of bipartite (users-products) graphs. With an innovative algorithm, our results demonstrate both efficacy and efficiency -- over 95% of potential attacks were detected, and ORFEL was at least two orders of magnitude faster than the state-of-the-art. Over a novel methodology, our main contributions are: (1) a new algorithmic solution; (2) one scalable approach; and (3) a novel context and modeling of the problem, which now addresses both defamation and illegitimate promotion. Our work deals with relevant issues of the Web 2.0, potentially augmenting the credibility of online recommendation to prevent losses to both customers and vendors.

description: The development of smart E-textiles can find important applications in next-generation sportswear, personal electronic devices, and biomedical products. Electrical conductive fibers are an essential component in smart E-textiles. Since conventional polymers for textiles are non-conductive, introducing conductive materials as fillers is a common technique used to produce conductive fibers. Typically, conductive fillers and conventional polymers are homogeneously blended to form composite blend fibers. However, in solution-based processing (e.g., electrospinning and wet-spinning), it is challenging to design the composition of homogeneous blends to achieve desired processability, mechanical properties, and electrical conductivity simultaneously. In this project, we developed a new processing technique to fabricate conductive composite fibers with a heterogeneous side-by-side (SBS) structure. The engineering principle was to apply a specially designed nozzle to combine a conventional polymer solution and a polymer/filler blend solution in an SBS manner, so the conventional polymer serves as the substrate to provide processability and mechanical flexibility for the fiber, and the polymer/filler blends contribute to electrical conductivity and other functionalities. The key to success of the project was the proper design and control of various processing factors (e.g., solution properties and processing parameters) to build good interfacial bonding between the two phases of SBS fibers. Using several conventional polymers (polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), polyethylene oxide (PEO), polyacrylonitrile (PAN), and cotton cellulose), and one conductive polymer polyaniline (PANI) that functioned as conductive fillers, as examples, we systematically studied the process-structure-property relationships of these SBS fibers.
description: Through comprehensive characterizations and analysis, the results showed that we had successfully produced PANI-based heterostructured fibers with decent performance that would be subjected to potential smart E-textile applications. For electrospinning, we utilized the Y-shape nozzle to create the SBS fiber structure with good interfacial bondings. For wet-spinning, we applied an eccentric nozzle with a conical tip to fabricate SBS fibers with co-continuous architecture, integrating good mechanical properties from neat conventional polymer and high conductivity from the PANI-riched blends along the fiber length. Moreover, we identified some important processing controls (e.g., viscosity difference) that influenced the geometry and interfacial bondings, creating different structural configurations that further impacted fiber performance and functionality.

description: Predation is thought to shape the macroscopic properties of animal groups, making moving groups more cohesive and coordinated. Precisely how predation has shaped individuals' fine-scale social interactions in natural populations, however, is unknown. Using high-resolution tracking data of shoaling fish (Poecilia reticulata) from populations differing in natural predation pressure, we show how predation adapts individuals' social interaction rules. Fish originating from high predation environments formed larger, more cohesive, but not more polarized groups than fish from low predation environments. Using a new approach to detect the discrete points in time when individuals decide to update their movements based on the available social cues, we determine how these collective properties emerge from individuals' microscopic social interactions. We first confirm predictions that predation shapes the attraction–repulsion dynamic of these fish, reducing the critical distance at which neighbours move apart, or come back together. While we find strong evidence that fish align with their near neighbours, we do not find that predation shapes the strength or likelihood of these alignment tendencies. We also find that predation sharpens individuals' acceleration and deceleration responses, implying key perceptual and energetic differences associated with how individuals move in different predation regimes. Our results reveal how predation can shape the social interactions of individuals in groups, ultimately driving differences in groups' collective behaviour.

description: Factorization Machines (FM) are only used in a narrow range of applications and are not part of the standard toolbox of machine learning models. This is a pity, because even though FMs are recognized as being very successful for recommender system type applications they are a general model to deal with sparse and high dimensional features. Our Factorization Machine implementation provides easy access to many solvers and supports regression, classification and ranking tasks. Such an implementation simplifies the use of FM's for a wide field of applications. This implementation has the potential to improve our understanding of the FM model and drive new development.
