description: An enzyme catalyzing the ammonia-lyase reaction for the conversion of d-erythro-3-hydroxyaspartate to oxaloacetate was purified from the cell-free extract of a soil-isolated bacterium Pseudomonas sp. N99. The enzyme exhibited ammonia-lyase activity toward l-threo-3-hydroxyaspartate and d-erythro-3-hydroxyaspartate, but not toward other 3-hydroxyaspartate isomers. The deduced amino acid sequence of the enzyme, which belongs to the serine/threonine dehydratase family, shows similarity to the sequence of l-threo-3-hydroxyaspartate ammonia-lyase (EC 4.3.1.16) from Pseudomonas sp. T62 (74%) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (64%) and serine racemase from Schizosaccharomyces pombe (65%). These results suggest that the enzyme is similar to l-threo-3-hydroxyaspartate ammonia-lyase from Pseudomonas sp. T62, which does not act on d-erythro-3-hydroxyaspartate. We also then used the recombinant enzyme expressed in Escherichia coli to produce optically pure l-erythro-3-hydroxyaspartate and d-threo-3-hydroxyaspartate from the corresponding dl-racemic mixtures. The enzymatic resolution reported here is one of the simplest and the first enzymatic method that can be used for obtaining optically pure l-erythro-3-hydroxyaspartate. A novel enzyme “d-erythro-3-hydroxyaspartate dehydratase” was applied to optically active l-erythro-3-hydroxyaspartate production.

description: Lacquer tree sap, a raw material of traditional paints in East Asia, is hardened through laccase-catalyzed oxidation and the following polymerization of phenolic compound urushiol. In the sap’s water-insoluble fraction, we found two plantacyanins and a ferritin 2 domain-containing protein (TvFe2D, a homolog of Arabidopsis AT1G47980 and AT3G62730). The recombinant TvFe2D protein suppressed the accumulation of laccase-catalyzed oxidation products of a model substrate syringaldazine without decreasing oxygen consumption, the second substrate of laccase. The suppression was also observed when another substrate guaiacol or another oxidizing enzyme peroxidase was used. The functional domain of the suppression was the C-terminal half, downstream of the ferritin 2 domain. The results suggest that this protein may be involved in regulating the sap polymerization/hardening. We also discuss the possibility that homologous proteins of TvFe2D in other plants might be involved in the laccase- or peroxidase-mediated polymerization of phenolic compounds, such as lignin and flavonoids. Sap exuded from the wound site of lacquer tree. The ferritin 2 domain protein in it is a novel candidate regulating urushiol polymerization/hardening.

description: Complexation between the triptycene-derived macrotricyclic polyether containing an anthracene unit and paraquat derivatives in both solution and solid state was investigated. It was found that the macrotricyclic host with multi-cavity structure could form a series of [2]pseudorotaxanes with different terminal functionalised paraquat derivatives in different threading modes, which subsequently resulted in the construction of two novel [2]rotaxanes.

description: Following the death of God, it is said, Man takes the stage, his emergence the necessary event of history. Yet the end of man is the corre-late of the death of God. The space occupied by divinity, or the sacred, has withdrawn. Humanism attests to a mimesis of the transcendental theme, and unwittingly confirms the emptiness of a sign without origin. Humanism announces nothing new: the nihilism at the heart of onto-theology emerges fully. Its hypocrisy and pretension fatally exposed, humanism may now and ought to be discarded as a metaphysics of the subject, a regime of negativity, exclusion and violence.

description: Eikenella corrodens 1073 was found to show hemolytic activity when grown on sheep blood agar. A high and dose-dependent hemolytic activity was detected in the cell envelope fraction, which was further purified by ion-exchange and gel-filtration chromatography. Consequently, a 65-kDa protein with hemolytic activity was obtained, suggesting that this protein might be a hemolysin. Its N-terminal amino acid sequence was nearly identical to that of X-prolyl aminopeptidase from E. corrodens ATCC 23834. To confirm that X-prolyl aminopeptidase functions as a hemolytic factor, we expressed the hlyA gene, encoding X-prolyl aminopeptidase, in Escherichia coli. After induction with isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside, a protein of about 65 kDa was purified on a Ni column, and its hemolytic activity was confirmed. Meanwhile, a strain with a disrupted hlyA gene, which was constructed by homologous recombination, did not show any hemolytic activity. These results suggested that X-prolyl aminopeptidase might function as a hemolysin in E. corrodens. Eikenella corrodens 1073 showed hemolytic activity when grown on sheep blood agar. We purified and identified the hemolytic factor.

description: We have investigated the dynamic behaviour of the magnetization of a hydrogen-bonding linked Co(II) 1D supramolecular coordination polymer. In the structure, two different mononuclear Co(II) species are linked by O–H···N hydrogen bonding through coordinated H2O and . Field-induced slow magnetic relaxation effect is observed and the anisotropy energy barrier is 33 K. Ab initio calculations reveal that Co(II) ion in [Co(bpm)2(N3)2] species is uniaxial anisotropic with a negative axial zero-field splitting parameter of D = − 82.4 cm− 1. The Co(II) ion in [Co(bpm)2(H2O)2]2+ species, however, is easy-plane anisotropic with a positive D and negative E value (D = 46.3 cm− 1, E = − 7.8 cm− 1). This is an interesting complex in which slow magnetic relaxation stems from the combination contribution of uniaxial anisotropy and easy plane anisotropy.

description: Nano-erythrocyte coating has been developed as an interesting biomimetic platform to provide hybrid nano-carriers with innate functions to target liver cancer. This goal was achieved by coating nano-erythrocyte membranes (NEMs) onto 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-loaded liposomes (LPs) to produce NEM-5-FU-LPs. This framework is used to promote the escape of 5-FU-LPs from degradation during systemic circulation. NEMs were obtained by hypotonic lysis of erythrocytes to produce ghost erythrocytes (GEs) followed by extrusion through polycarbonate membranes. Chimeric NEM-5-FU-LPs were fabricated via the fusion of NEMs and artificial LPs. The resultant chaperoned LPs were characterized based on particle size, morphology, entrapment efficiency (EE %), stability, protein content and phosphatidylserine exposure and their in vitro release profiles and cytotoxic efficacy were also determined. The present results revealed that 5-FU-LPs, NEM-5-FU and NEM-5-FU-LPs exhibited nanosize, spherical shapes and unimodal size distributions <0.3. In addition, the vesicles presented a zeta potential with EE% of 24.6–30.7% and an appropriate stability for 3 weeks. NEM-5-FU-LPs retained the erythrocyte membrane proteins as confirmed by PAGE and displayed a sustained release profile up to 48 h when compared to NEM-5-FU and the 5-FU solution. Moreover, hybrid NEM-5-FU-LPs induced a late cytotoxic effect after 48 h compared to the other formulations. Thus, mantling of 5-FU-LPs by NEMs could enhance vesicle controllability and their targetability to liver cancer cells.

description: A series of small angle bent-core (V-shaped) mesogens carrying 1,7-naphthalene as a central core linked with lateral halogenated (chlorinated or fluorinated) Schiff-base side wings and alkylthio terminal tails of variable carbon number (n = 12, 16) was synthesised in order to reduce the transition temperature and improve the phase stability of bent-core liquid crystal molecules. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarising optical microscopy (POM), small-angle X-ray scattering system (SAXS) and two-dimensional X-ray diffractometer were applied to ascertain the mesomorphic structure and phase transition temperatures of the compounds. The results confirm that all the molecules show thermotropic liquid crystalline behaviour and exhibit hexagonal columnar phase (Colh) in a certain temperature range. Compared with the homologous compounds without lateral halogen, the cleaning point temperature of lateral halogenated V-shaped compounds generally decrease and the Colh phase ranges are more extensive. The influence of lateral chlorine on the cleaning point temperature is more obvious, as well as the effect of lateral fluorine on the range of Colh phase.

description: Exposure to toxic chemicals through smoked tobacco is a significant global public health issue due to their genotoxic and carcinogenic properties. The study aims to (1) measure Arsenic (As), Cadmium (Cd), Cobalt (Co), Chromium (Cr), Mercury (Hg), Nickle (Ni), lead (Pb), and 407 pesticides in tobacco commercialized in Saudi Arabia; and (2) evaluate human health risks associated with smoking tobacco. Thus, we analyzed 60 tobacco samples per brand from eight of the most popular tobacco brands in the Saudi market. The analyzed tobacco contained significant concentrations of toxic metal (loid)s and banned pesticides. Twenty-three out of 407 pesticide residues were found, with an average concentration of 0.004–1.155 µg/g. Average concentrations of As, Cd, Co, Cr, Hg, Ni, and Pb for all brands were 0.16, 0.57, 0.75, 1.36, 1.94, 0.01, and 0.37 µg/g, respectively. The risk assessment indicated that high cancer risks are associated with exposure to As, Cd, Cr, and Ni, while lower risks are associated with Pb. Additionally, the potential cancer risk estimated for Cr was higher than other toxic elements. The cumulative cancer risks (95%) under three different cases for all brands were greater than the permissible limits (=10−4). The chances of getting cancer through inhalation of particulate As, Cd, Cr, Ni, and Pb was 4 in 10 000 cases in the best case scenario (1 cigarette per day). Therefore, metal content in cigarette tobacco should be reduced to improve public health.HIGHLIGHTSAll tested brands contained banned pesticide residues except for brand C.Tobacco samples contained significant concentrations of toxic metal(loid)s.A high risk of developing cancer is associated with exposure to As, Cd, Cr, and Ni, while a lower risk is associated with exposure to Pb. All tested brands contained banned pesticide residues except for brand C. Tobacco samples contained significant concentrations of toxic metal(loid)s. A high risk of developing cancer is associated with exposure to As, Cd, Cr, and Ni, while a lower risk is associated with exposure to Pb.

description: Este artículo presenta los resultados de un proyecto que se ejecutó durante dos años, con el objetivo de promover el aprendizaje de las ciencias en escuelas primarias de comunidades rurales, en la República de Panamá, a través del acceso a las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TIC). Se realizó un estudio de caso, en la Escuela de Boca de Lurá, que inició con el levantamiento de datos bibliográficos y del programa de estudio para escuelas primarias, aprobado por el Ministerio de Educación (MEDUCA) de Panamá, para utilizarlos como base para diseñar los módulos que serían alojados en la plataforma educativa. Se realizaron pruebas de desempeño, en laboratorio, para asegurar que la plataforma desarrollada estuviera adaptada para su uso en computadoras de bajo consumo energético, considerando comunidades rurales sin acceso a la red eléctrica, pero con disponibilidad de sistemas autónomos de generación eléctrica. La implementación de este sistema proporcionó a los niños una herramienta interesante y divertida con una amplia base de datos, textos, imágenes, vídeos y applets, cuyo mecanismo de acceso y búsqueda procuró ofrecerles la misma experiencia que tendrían al navegar por sitios web si tuvieran disponible Internet. Las pruebas de evaluación final realizadas mostraron que el sistema computacional junto con la plataforma educativa, sirvieron de estímulo a los alumnos para aprender y afianzar el conocimiento impartido por los docentes ya que, mejoraron su desempeño. La experiencia sirve de modelo para replicar el desarrollo e implementación de plataformas educativas, que complementen los contenidos dictados, no solamente en comunidades rurales, sino en las demás escuelas del país.

description: This article considers the problem of parameter estimation for two dimensional (2-D) multi-component harmonics in non zero-mean multiplicative and additive noise. The least squares estimators (LSEs) are proposed to estimate the coherent model parameters, and some statistical results of the LSEs are obtained, including strong consistency, strong convergence rate, and asymptotic normality. Furthermore, the LSEs-based estimators are proposed to estimate the noncoherent model parameters, and the strong consistency and the asymptotic normality are also proved. Finally, some numerical experiments are performed to see how the asymptotic results work for finite sample sizes.

description: Objectives: New interleukins (ILs), especially members of IL-1 and IL-12 families, have recently been reported to be involved in the development and regulation of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. In this study, we aimed to explore the impact of these new ILs in psoriasis (Ps) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Methods: Forty PsA patients, 20 Ps patients, and 20 healthy controls (HCs) were recruited. Blood samples were obtained for detecting the levels of ILs, IL-12/23p40, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α). The severity of skin lesions was assessed by the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI). Arthritis activities of PsA patients were assessed by the PsA Joint Activity Index. For PsA patients, circulating osteoclastogenesis-related cytokines (osteoprotegerin and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand) and numbers of osteoclast precursors were evaluated. Radiographic features of affected joints in these patients were scored for erosion, joint-space narrowing, osteolysis, and new bone formation. Correlations among levels of these ILs, Ps, and PsA disease activities and bone erosions were studied. Results: Ps and PsA patients had higher serum levels of TNF-α, IL-12/23p40, and IL-33. Serum levels of IL-34 and IL-35 were higher in PsA patients than in Ps patients and HCs. Patients with pustular Ps had higher serum levels of IL-36α and IL-38 than patients with Ps vulgaris or HCs. Increased serum levels of IL-36α were positively correlated with PASI. Conclusion: Certain ILs were elevated in the circulation of patients with Ps and PsA, which might contribute to the pathogenesis of skin lesions and arthritis.

description: Transformation optics has attracted intensive research in various communities, e.g., optics, electromagnetics, acoustics, thermodynamics, etc. Recently, transformation-optics based devices in dc electric field have received increasing attention and achievements have been made experimentally. However, these schemes have to be reduced for experimental realization at the price of giving up exactness, and must employ resistor networks to mimic inhomogeneous and anisotropic conductivities, as an analogue of optical counterpart.
Therefore, our proposal, derived from a solving conduction equation directly and validated by experiment, addressed a completely new framework of manipulating dc current, in a metamaterial-free context. It only exploits bilayer bulk natural conductive materials, and the generalized framework can empower the experimental realizations of ideal cloaking, cloaking sensor, and concentrator, all by using two ultrathin layers of bulk materials with neither subtle feature (like subwavelength unit cell) nor anisotropy/inhomogeneity.
Not only does the bilayer scheme greatly simply the design of dc devices, but also and of greater importance, the new framework developed in this work goes far beyond its own niche. It can be readily used in a wide spectrum of physics domains, such as dc magnetic cloak, plasmonic transparency, thermal manipulation, neutral inclusion for elastic cloaking, and electromagnetic, celestial wave manipulation as long as one can find natural or artificial extreme materials. This schematic is immune from the corresponding stringent issues of metamaterials or usual dipolar operation in plamsonic cancellation.

description: Aim: Tattoo pigments are deposited in the skin and known to distribute to regional lymph nodes. Tattoo pigments are small particles and may be hypothesized to reach the blood stream and become distributed to peripheral organs. This has not been studied in the past. The aim of the study was to trace tattoo pigments in internal organs in mice extensively tattooed with 2 different tattoo ink products. Material/Methods: Three groups of mice were studied, i.e., 10 tattooed black, 10 tattooed red, and 5 untreated controls. They were tattooed on the entire back with commercial tattoo inks, black and red. Mice were sacrificed after 1 year. Samples were isolated from tattooed skin, lymph nodes, liver, spleen, kidney, and lung. Samples were examined for deposits of tattoo pigments by light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Results: TEM identified intracellular tattoo pigments in the skin and in lymph nodes. TEM in both groups of tattooed mice showed tattoo pigment deposits in the Kupffer cells in the liver, which is a new observation. TEM detected no pigment in other internal organs. Light microscopy showed dense pigment in the skin and in lymph nodes but not in internal organs. Conclusion: The study demonstrated black and red tattoo pigment deposits in the liver; thus, tattoo pigment distributed from the tattooed skin via the blood stream to this important organ of detoxification. The finding adds a new dimension to tattoo pigment distribution in the body, i.e., as observed via the blood in addition to the lymphatic pathway.

description: L’entretien se déroule au domicile de l’informatrice qui allaite son enfant âgé de quatre mois et demi. L’entretien débute par l’explication du choix de la mère de donner le sein à son enfant, d’après le principe que le lait maternel est le meilleur aliment pour le nouveau-né. L’informatrice raconte que durant les premiers jours qui ont suivis la naissance elle a eu recours à un complément alimentaire à base de lait maternisé pour nourrir sa fille car elle n’avait pas encore de montée de lait suffisante. L’informatrice décrit les premières tétées de son enfant. Elle explique que c’est durant les cours de préparation à l’accouchement qu’elle a été conseillée pour l’allaitement auprès de nombreux agents médicaux mais aussi auprès de son entourage familial. Elle souligne le soutien de son mari dans son choix d’allaiter. L’informatrice explique que c’est pendant les cours de préparation à l’accouchement qu’elle a entendu parler pour la première fois du colostrum. Elle évoque également les doutes de certaines mères sur le fait que le colostrum est suffisant pour les premiers jours suivant la naissance. Elle évoque les vertus du thé qui est utilisé dans sa famille pour calmer la soif et les coliques de l’enfant. L’informatrice raconte qu’elle ne fait rien de particulier pour favoriser la montée de lait mais qu’elle a fait attention à bien s’hydrater. L’informatrice raconte comment s’est déroulé la première semaine après la naissance de sa fille pour elle et pour son mari. L’informatrice se confie à l’enquêtrice en évoquant les sentiments et les sensations qu’elle ressent en allaitant son enfant. L’enquêtrice demande à l’informatrice si l’allaitement est avantageux économiquement. L’informatrice répond positivement à cette question. L’enquêtrice pose ensuite des questions à l'informatrice sur les lieux où elle a l’habitude d’allaiter. L'informatrice traite ensuite de l’allaitement en public de son enfant. L’expérience de l’accouchement par voie naturelle et ses peurs sont évoqués. Elle raconte également les douleurs qu’elle a ressenties après l’accouchement et les difficultés qu’elle a rencontrées. À la fin de l’enquête, l'informatrice et l’enquêtrice parlent des nombreuses césariennes pratiquées au Brésil qui sont favorisées par les médecins, au détriment des accouchements par voie naturelle.

description: Diet–tissue isotopic relationships established under controlled conditions are informative for determining the dietary sources and geographic provenance of organisms. We analysed δ13C, δ15N, and non-exchangeable δ2H values of captive African grey parrot Psittacus erithacus feathers grown on a fixed mixed-diet and borehole water. Diet–feather Δ13C and Δ15N discrimination values were +3.8 ± 0.3 ‰ and +6.3 ± 0.7 ‰ respectively; significantly greater than expected. Non-exchangeable δ2H feather values (−62.4 ± 6.4 ‰) were more negative than water (−26.1 ± 2.5 ‰) offered during feather growth. There was no positive relationship between the δ13C and δ15N values of the samples along each feather with the associated samples of food offered, or the feather non-exchangeable hydrogen isotope values with δ2H values of water, emphasising the complex processes involved in carbohydrate, protein, and income water routing to feather growth. Understanding the isotopic relationship between diet and feathers may provide greater clarity in the use of stable isotopes in feathers as a tool in determining origins of captive and wild-caught African grey parrots, a species that is widespread in aviculture and faces significant threats to wild populations. We suggest that these isotopic results, determined even in controlled laboratory conditions, be used with caution.

description: Two zinc complexes with Pybox ligands, 2,6-bis[4′,4′-dimethyloxazolin-2′-yl]pyridine (Dm-pybox) (1a) and 2,6-bis[4′-isopropyloxazolin-2′-yl]pyridine (i-Pr-pybox) (1b), have been synthesized and characterized. Reactions of zinc chloride with the pyridine-based pincer ligands result in formation of (Dm-Pybox)ZnCl2 (2a) and (i-Pr-Pybox)ZnCl2 (2b), respectively. Both complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, NMR and IR spectra. The molecular structures of 2a and 2b have been determined by X-ray crystallography. Complex 2b is efficient in catalyzing Knoevenagel condensation of ferrocenecarboxaldehyde with activated methylene compounds in water.

description: Animal models play a crucial role in understanding the mechanisms of diseases and symptoms, and to test the efficacy and safety of treatments before conducting clinical trials. Selecting human diseases and developing core sets of clinical outcome measures as well as complementary sets of mouse phenotyping measures will contribute to narrow the gap between animal models and human trials. The overall objective of the CORBEL task 3.2 is to promote convergence between outcome measures used for clinical trials in humans and phenotyping techniques used for testing treatments in animal models.

description: With a greater emphasis on data confidentiality and legislation, distributed training and collaborative machine learning algorithms are being developed to protect sensitive private data. Gradient exchange has become a widely used practice in those multi-node machine learning systems. But with the advent of gradient inversion attacks, it is already established that private training data can be revealed from the gradients. Gradient inversion attacks covertly spy on gradient updates and backtrack from the gradients to obtain information about the raw data. Although this attack has been widely studied in computer vision and natural language processing tasks, understanding the impact of this attack on acoustic signals still requires a comprehensive investigation. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to explore gradient inversion attacks on acoustic signals by extracting the speakers’ voices from an audio recognition system. Here, we design a new application of gradient inversion attack to retrieve the audio signal used for training the deep learning model, irrespective of whether the audio has undergone conversion into mel-spectrogram or MFCC representations prior to feed to neural network. Experimental results demonstrate the capability of our attack method to extract the input vectors of the audio data from the gradients, which highlight the security risks in revealing the sensitive audio data from highly secured systems. We also discuss several possible strategies as countermeasures and their effectiveness to prevent the attack.

description: This paper assesses the impact of assistance on the wellbeing of Palestinian households. The impact evaluation analysis uses a difference-in-difference approach for the treatment of sample selection bias. The paper uses data from the 2013 and 2014 rounds of the Palestinian Socio-Economic and Food Security survey to estimate the impact of assistance to West Bank and Gaza Strip (WBGS) households on their poverty and food security status. Results suggest that both poverty and food insecurity would have been much higher for WBGS as a whole without assistance, further increasing in areas with lower levels of assistance. However, the average positive impact of assistance hides a lot of heterogeneity. In fact, while there is a clear positive impact of the intensity of assistance on poverty reduction, food consumption and diet diversity in the West Bank, Gaza Strip analysis shows mixed results. Results highlight how the international community cannot disengage from supporting Palestinian households without severely impacting their wellbeing.

description: The Appalachian region is one that is often looked at through the lens of negative stereotypes. It is one that is considered uneducated, low class, and generally lacking in diversity. While statistically, there is data to back up the origins of these stereotypes, it is important to be aware of the changes that have come over time within the region. There are writers of color within the region, many who publish within the body of work considered Affrilachian literature and focused group of Affrilachian poets. The majority of this thesis’s research and literature analysis focuses on the background of living a life within Appalachia, teaching within Appalachia, and beginning to study and implement the use of poetry in a classroom to help create identity and change in terms of identity and cognizance of the Affrilachian individual.
