Characterization of the membrane association of Tomato ringspot virus proteins containing the NTB binding domain
Creators: name: Han, Sumin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Replication of all known positive-strand RNA viruses occurs in replication complexes associated with intracellular membranes. The putative Nucleoside Triphosphate Binding (NTB) protein of Tomato ringspot virus (ToRSV) contains a stretch of hydrophobic residues at its C-terminus suggesting that it may act as a membrane anchor for the replication complex. Anti-NTB antibodies detected two predominant proteins in membrane-enriched fractions (the 66 kDa NTB and the 69 kDa NTB-VPg) along with other larger proteins. The proteins containing NTB co-fractionated with markers of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and with ToRSV specific RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity in sucrose gradients. ToRSV infection induced severe changes in the morphology of the ER in plants expressing an ER-targeted green fluorescent protein (ER-GFP), and proteins containing NTB co-localized with the ER-GFP in indirect immunofluorescence assays. The proteins containing NTB have properties of integral membrane proteins. Proteinase K protection assays using purified membranes from infected plants revealed that although the central portion of NTB is exposed to the cytoplasmic face of the membranes, an 8 kDa fragment, recognized by anti- VPg antibodies, is protected by the membranes. This fragment probably consists of the 3 kDa VPg and the 5 kDa stretch of hydrophobic residues at the C-terminus of NTB, suggesting a lumenal location for the VPg in at least a portion of the molecules. To study whether NTB-VPg could associate with membranes, an in vitro membrane association assay was used. A truncated NTB-VPg protein containing the transmembrane domain could associate with canine microsomal membranes. The NTB-VPg and cNTB-VPg were glycosylated in the VPg domain in vitro suggesting a topology similar to that observed in infected plants. The cNTB-VPg protein was also processed by a membrane-associated proteinase in vitro at a site immediately upstream of the VPg domain. Expression of the cNTB-VPg protein in protoplasts revealed that this processing might also take place in vivo. Taken together, our results provide evidence that proteins containing the NTB domain are transmembrane proteins associated with ER-derived membranes and support the hypothesis that one or several of the proteins containing NTB anchor the replication complex to the ER.

description: The paper aims at analyzing the upshots of the kantian doctrine of space – as it is proposed inthe Transcendental Aesthetic of the first Critique – together with some clinical and experimental evidence elaborated in the neuro-scientific field about the cognition and perception processes of extra-corporal space. Specifically, the “representational model” of interpretation of the Unilateral Neglect – a clinical disturbance that shows itself with a deficit of the perception of extra-corporal space – leads to theoretical considerations somehow consistent with the kantianstatement of the transcendental ideality of space

description: A fundamental challenge the world faces today is ensuring that millions of households living in poverty have access to enough food to maintain a healthy life. Africa over the years has been looking for ways to solving the problem of food security and it is an important topic in discussions of Africa leaders. While there are national data on food security and poverty, information on rural food security and poverty are not readily available especially in Nigeria. This study, therefore, employed discriminant analysis to examine the levels and the major determinants of food security and poverty among the rural households who are the major producers of food in Nigeria. Using the basic calorie and protein requirement per capita of households, our result revealed that accessibility to health facilities; household size, farm size and household expenditure on food were the major determinants of a household’s food security status. Non-farm income was a major determinant of the probability of a household being non-poor. The study suggests family planning as well as specific programmes targeted at the rural poor and food insecure as policy options.

description: It has recently been suggested that at the post-inflationary stage of the mixed Higgs-$R^2$ model of inflation efficient particle production can arise from the tachyonic instability of the Higgs field. It might complete the preheating of the Universe if appropriate conditions are satisfied, especially in the Higgs-like regime. In this paper, we study this behavior in more depth, including the conditions for occurrence, analytical estimates for the maximal efficiency, and the necessary degree of fine-tuning among the model parameters to complete preheating by this effect. We find that the parameter sets that cause the most efficient tachyonic instabilities obey simple laws in both the Higgs-like regime and the $R^2$-like regime, respectively. We then estimate the efficiency of this instability. In particular, even in the deep $R^2$-like regime with a small non-minimal coupling, this effect is strong enough to complete preheating although a severe fine-tuning is required among the model parameters. We also estimate how much fine-tuning is needed to complete preheating by this effect. It is shown that the fine-tuning of parameters for the sufficient particle production is at least $ < \mathcal{O}(0.1) $ in the deep Higgs-like regime with a large scalaron mass, while it is more severe $\sim {\cal O}(10^{-4})-{\cal O}(10^{-5})$ in the $R^2$-like regime with a small non-minimal coupling.

description: There are well-founded fears that it is unrealistic to expect Africa to achieve the Millennium Development Goal 1 (MDG1) to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger and to halve the proportion of people who suffer hunger by 2015. Recent efforts of African governments to meet the MDG1 have resulted in a number of initiatives including the Comprehensive African Agricultural Development Programme (CAADP) framework that calls for 6% agricultural growth rates, the Maputo Declaration calling for 10% of total public spending to be on agriculture, and the 2006 Abuja Declaration calling for an increase in fertilizer use from 8 – 50 kg/ha by 2015. CAADP estimates that an average investment of US$18 billion/year will be required to trigger sufficient agricultural growth rate to meet MDG1. Meanwhile, budgetary allocation to agriculture in many African nations is low and an analysis of trends in foreign development assistance to Africa over a 10-year period (1995-2004) showed that the annual commitment to agriculture out of the total assistance of US$230 billion declined from 11% in 1995 to 6% in 2004. This decline could be traced to the frustration of donors and African governments alike at the failure of agriculture to achieve sufficient progress towards food security and poverty reduction. Nevertheless, there is evidence from the past that where projects have been successful, governments provided political leadership and financial support; organized farmers groups actively participated in decision-making; and that close public-private-partnership existed. Based on the lessons learned from previous projects and the subsequent more favorable rules of engagement of donors with beneficiaries, the paper concludes that the challenges and responsibility for getting agriculture back to the front-burner of the development agenda is largely that of African governments.

description: Corn, soybean and wheat producers are facing serious financial challenges. And it is even worse for livestock producers, most of who are also crop producers and are therefore eligible for ACRE. Crops are behind in maturity, some areas of the state need rain, product prices have fallen substantially, and USDA Counter Cyclical payments do not start until $2.35 on corn, $5.36 soybeans and $3.40 on wheat. Chances of prices that low are around 10-15%, but at that point ACRE payments would be much, much bigger. Many producers do not understand ACRE and the benefits available; most of the reasons given for not participating are invalid.
A New Extraction of Pion Parton Distributions in the Statistical Model

description: We present a new analysis to extract pion's parton distribution functions (PDFs) in the framework of the statistical model. Starting from the statistical model framework first developed for the spin-1/2 nucleon, we apply appropriate modifications taking into account the spin-0 nature of pion and the isospin and charge-conjugation symmetry properties. This results in a significant reduction of the number of parameters compared to a recent work to extract pion's PDFs. Using $π^-$-induced Drell-Yan data to determine the parameters of this statistical model approach, we show that a good description of these experimental data with Next-to-Leading order QCD calculations can be obtained. Good agreement between the calculations and the $π^+/π^-$ Drell-Yan cross section ratio data, not included in the global fit, has confirmed the predictive power of these new pion PDFs.

description: This paper analyses U.S. demand for fresh vegetable imports using a dynamic AIDS model. The commodities selected for the study include tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and asparagus. The results shows that the demand for fresh vegetable imports is more elastic compared to the demand for domestic fresh vegetables. Also demand for all the fresh vegetables is significantly responsive to changes in own-price and expenditure. Fresh tomatoes, peppers, and cucumber imports do not complement domestic supply as is often believed but are significant substitutes.

description: Time preferences play a critical role in the agri-food value chains of low-income countries, im-pacting the choices of local operators, including innovation uptake. This paper estimates the as-sociation between smallholder farmers’ individual characteristics their exposure to diverse ad-verse events, and their intertemporal choices, using lab-in-the-field experiments conducted across five African countries. We find that farmers who have experienced social setbacks during the previous year are more likely to be patient. This suggests that time preferences may vary over time, particularly when farmers are exposed to social distress (e.g., food shortage, health issues, violence, or crime). Moreover, we find gender to be a prominent factor associated with farmers’ time preferences. These findings hold direct implications for both research and public policy initi-atives aimed at influencing agricultural choices in the aftermath of social distress. By understand-ing the factors influencing time preferences, more targeted and effective strategies can be devel-oped to support smallholder farmers, thereby enhancing the resilience of agri-food value chains in low-income countries.

La régression multiple et une analyse économétrique (Probit) ont été effectuées pour identifie les principaux facteurs qui affectent l’état nutritionnel et de santé de ces enfants. Les résultats de l’analyse du sang montrent que presque tous les enfants (99%) sont testés positifs à l’aflatoxine avec un taux moyen de concentration de 0,56 pg/ml de sang. Les principaux facteurs socioéconomiques dont le revenu hebdomadaire du ménage, la superficie de culture emblavée et le niveau d’éducation formelle font diminuer la malnutrition chez les enfants de moins de 5 ans exposés à l’aflatoxine. La présence d’aflatoxine dans le sang des enfants est négativement corrélée au taux d’hémoglobine et positivement corrélé à la morbidité observée chez ces enfants. D’autres facteurs comme les bonnes techniques de stockage du maïs, la pré-préparation hygiénique des aliments destinés aux enfants réduisent significativement l’aflatoxine dans le sang pendant que la fréquence de consommation du maïs relativement élevée contribue à sa concentration dans le sang.

description: We study low energy implications of F-theory GUT models based on $SU(5)$ extended by a $U(1)'$ symmetry which couples non-universally to the three families of quarks and leptons. This gauge group arises naturally from the maximal exceptional gauge symmetry of an elliptically fibred internal space, at a single point of enhancement, $E_8\supset SU(5)\times SU(5)'\supset SU(5)\times U(1)^4$. Rank-one fermion mass textures and a tree-level top quark coupling are guaranteed by imposing a $Z_2$ monodromy group which identifies two abelian factors of the above breaking sequence. The $U(1)'$ factor of the gauge symmetry is an anomaly free linear combination of the three remaining abelian symmetries left over by $Z_2$. Several classes of models are obtained, distinguished with respect to the $U(1)'$ charges of the representations, and possible extra zero modes coming in vector-like representations. The predictions of these models are investigated and are compared with the LHC results and other related experiments. Particular cases interpreting the B-meson anomalies observed in LHCb and BaBar experiments are also discussed.

Rev. Lett. {\bf 90}, 194301 (2003)] in three regards. First, we explore the behavior vs sphere diameter and density more systematically, by holding one of these parameters constant while varying the other. Second, we prepare the granular medium more reproducibly and, third, we measure the penetration depth more accurately. The new data support our previous conclusion that the penetration depth is proportional to the 1/2 power of sphere density, the 2/3 power of sphere diameter, and the 1/3 power of total drop distance.

description: Dans la majorité des pays africains, les stratégies mises en place ,ces dernières années, pour réaliser l’objectif de sécurité alimentaire, se sont inscrites dans la ligne de pensée des politiques d’ajustement sous monitoring des Institutions Financières Internationales et qui, au fil des années , ont pris différentes formes en passant de la version PAS à la version DSCRP. La présente étude, qui se base sur l’expérience congolaise, vise dans un premier temps à analyser l’impact que peut avoir ce type des politiques sur la réalisation de la sécurité alimentaire nationale, et dans un second temps de prospecter une politique alternative qui permettrait au pays de tirer bénéfice de la prospérité mondiale pour mieux concourir à la réalisation de la sécurité alimentaire dans une perspective mondialiste. Pour atteindre ce double objectif, l‘étude a adopté, comme approche méthodologique d’analyse d’impact, la méthode « avant-après » préconisée par Labonne en s’appuyant sur le test économétrique de Chow qui vérifie la stabilité des paramètres du modèle représentant le phénomène de sécurité alimentaire, avant et pendant la période d’ajustement. Le modèle choisi met en relation un indicateur de sécurité alimentaire, représenté par la consommation calorique ou protéique par habitant et par jour, avec des variables indépendantes comme la surface agricole et les intrants utilisés, l’ investissement public et privé en agriculture, les indices de prix à la consommation et à l’exportation des produits agricoles, et le revenu par tête d’habitant. Les résultats du test de Chow réalisé sur les deux sous-périodes d’avant et d’après les PAS laissent entrevoir qu’il y’a pas eu d’impact recherché des politiques d’ajustement sur la promotion de la sécurité alimentaire en RDC. C’est pourquoi l’étude se termine par l’examen d’une politique alternative aux politiques d’ajustement basée sur la solidarité internationale et apte à permettre à la RDC, non seulement de garantir la sécurité alimentaire de sa population, mais de produire à la mesure de ses potentialités qui sont évaluées à une capacité de pouvoir nourrir 2,9 milliards de personnes, soit au moins l’entièreté du continent africai

description: Walter Benjamin tried to get in touch with Panofsky and the Warburg’s circle, but the attempt failed. This article examines the chapter on melancholy of Benjamin’s The Origin of the German Tragic Drama (1928) and his main sources, i. e. Warburg’s essay Pagan-Antique Prophecy in Words and Images in the Age of Luther (1920) and Panofsky-Saxl’s work Dürers Melencolia I (1923). Benjamin interpreted the melancholy of the German Tragic Drama as a jump back to the deadly sin of sloth: he saw the saturnine melancholy under the sign of the medieval acedia.

description: Income growth in many countries is fuelling expansion of the ethical consumer segment and creating an unprecedented opportunity for small African farmers. The challenge is how to organize these farmers to seize the opportunities being offered by the emerging market. We argue in this paper that the development of entrepreneurial perspectives on small farmers’ realities could help alleviate the current economic challenges confronting them. We suggest increased engagement between researchers and academics with producers in entrepreneurial ventures to seize these opportunities. This is new model of economic development focuses on microeconomic solutions through entrepreneurial initiatives. We believe the agricultural economics profession’s ability to engage producers in this manner will not only increase its relevance but provide needed financial resources to grow education and research programs.

description: We consider U(1) gauge fields in a slice of AdS_5 with bulk and boundary mass parameters. The zero mode of a bulk U(1) gauge field can be localized either on the UV or IR brane. This leads to a simple model of millicharged particles in which fermions can have arbitrarily small electric charge. In the electroweak sector we also discuss phenomenological implications of a localized U(1)_Y gauge boson. Using the AdS/CFT correspondence we present the 4D holographic interpretation of the 5D model. In particular the photon is shown to be a composite particle when localized near the IR brane, whereas it is elementary when localized near the UV brane. In the dual interpretation the ``millicharge'' results from an elementary fermion coupling to a composite photon via a vector current with large anomalous dimension.

description: Vihiga, one of the poorest and densely populated districts in Kenya is perpetually food deficit (GOK, 2005). While food demand continued to rise, production fell behind both targeted production and district demand. To make matters worse food deficit situation worsened over the last decade. Rising population and competition for resources have curtailed efforts to improve household food production in the district. Unfavorable poverty indicators in the district only make matters worse. About 57.6 percent of the population and more than 50 percent of households live below absolute poverty line while 57 percent of the population and households live below food poverty line (GOK, 2005). Poor welfare indicators for Vihiga district underscore the importance and urgency for addressing its basic needs. Understanding determinants of food security in Vihiga district will improve targeting, the focus and success of policies for addressing food insecurity. The paper examines food security in a subsistence economy with an application of a Translog cost function to household survey data in Vihiga district to determine the supply side constraints. Cluster sampling was used with divisions forming the main clusters in the district. Using systematic random sampling, 50 households were selected from each cluster resulting in a sample of 300. Results show that scale of production, number of adults, household head, business income, employment; human resource development, capital, and land size significantly influence household food security. Food security programmes, in subsistence economies, aimed at revamping production should focus more on enhancing accessibility to production resources and improving the quality of labor through training. Key Words: Food security, Translog cost function, Vihiga, Kenya

description: Real-world complex systems are often modelled by sets of equations with endogenous and exogenous variables. What can we say about the causal and probabilistic aspects of variables that appear in these equations without explicitly solving the equations? We make use of Simon's causal ordering algorithm (Simon, 1953) to construct a causal ordering graph and prove that it expresses the effects of soft and perfect interventions on the equations under certain unique solvability assumptions. We further construct a Markov ordering graph and prove that it encodes conditional independences in the distribution implied by the equations with independent random exogenous variables, under a similar unique solvability assumption. We discuss how this approach reveals and addresses some of the limitations of existing causal modelling frameworks, such as causal Bayesian networks and structural causal models.

description: Spin is a fundamental property of all elementary particles. Classically it can be viewed as a tiny magnetic moment, but a measurement of an electron spin along the direction of an external magnetic field can have only two outcomes: parallel or anti-parallel to the field. This discreteness reflects the quantum mechanical nature of spin. Ensembles of many spins have found diverse applications ranging from magnetic resonance imaging to magneto-electronic devices, while individual spins are considered as carriers for quantum information. Read-out of single spin states has been achieved using optical techniques, and is within reach of magnetic resonance force microscopy. However, electrical read-out of single spins has so far remained elusive. Here, we demonstrate electrical single-shot measurement of the state of an individual electron spin in a semiconductor quantum dot. We use spin-to-charge conversion of a single electron confined in the dot, and detect the single-electron charge using a quantum point contact; the spin measurement visibility is ~65%. Furthermore, we observe very long single-spin energy relaxation times (up to 0.85 ms at a magnetic field of 8 Tesla), which are encouraging for the use of electron spins as carriers of quantum information.

The voice of the many in the one : modernism’s unveiled listening to minority presence in the fiction of William Faulkner and Patrick White
Creators: name: Trautman, Andrea Dominique
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: By comparing the novels of William Faulkner and Patrick White, this thesis reconsiders modernism's elitism and solipsism by revealing within them a critical interest in liberating minority perspective. Theoretical debates which continue to insist on modernism's inherent distance from the identity politics which front the postmodernist movement are overlooking modernism's deeply embedded evaluative mechanisms which work to expose and criticize the activity of psychic and social co-optation. Faulkner and White are both engaged in fictionally tracing the complexities of a failing patriarchy which can no longer substantiate its primary subjects — the white, upper class male. As representatives of modernism we can see that Faulkner and White, perhaps unwittingly, initiate the awareness that the 'failure' of their chosen subjects is in large measure due to processes of marginalization which both created the authoritative power structures within which they are constructed and helped serve to collapse them. The classic isolation of the modernist subject can be looked at not simply as an isolation predicated on endless self-referentiality, but rather on a desperate social outreaching for which he or she is not psychically equipped. By following the trajectory and perspective of specific novels and characters it becomes clear that it is precisely this handicap which clears the textual space for diversity of representation, just as it overturns the notion of modernism's functioning separatism. Chapter one concentrates on the double-edged representation of the female subject constructed as always-already 'guilty' within the psychologically, emotionally and physically repressive terms of the dominant male power structures within the context of Faulkner's Requiem for a Nun and White's A Fringe of Leaves. Chapter two investigates the psychological parameters of the morally disenfranchised modern subject whose disillusionment results from prejudicial social practices promoted by virulent racial anxiety as exemplified in Faulkner's Absalom, Absalom! and White's Voss. The third and final chapter discusses Light in August and Riders in the Chariot with attention to modernism's own investigation of the exclusion of minority voices from collective social imagining. The thesis posits that literary modernism is interested less with reconciling its literary subjects within a self-contained totalizing project than it is with invoking new social and psychological paradigms that stress the necessity of external, not internal, represented multiplicity, and that what has been (mis)recognized as modernism's self-closure is, in fact, the key not only to its own continuing relevance, but to the contemporaneous literary injunction to let all voices be heard.
