Cochlear suppression of tones by dynamic stimuli
Creators: name: Karolina Charaziak
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Background

Behavioral studies show that when a tone is presented together with a competing sound, the audibility of the tone can be reduced (i.e., masking). The amount of masking depends on the characteristics of the competing sound. While masking by sounds with static properties is relatively well explained, masking by sounds that change dynamically over time (e.g., frequency chirps) is less understood. For instance, upward linear frequency chirps (i.e., sweeping frequency from low to high) are typically much more effective maskers than downward sweeps (high to low sweep), especially at lower masker levels. This discrepancy in masker effectiveness occurs only in subjects with normal hearing, suggesting that this phenomenon depends on active cochlear processing. Previously, these puzzling results were interpreted in terms of cochlear dispersion: Upward sweeps augment the effects produced by cochlear dispersion, resulting in cochlear responses that ring longer and produce more masking compared to downward sweeps, which partially compensate for cochlear dispersion and produce more temporally localized responses.

Methods

In this study, we investigate “masking” as seen directly in cochlear vibrations (i.e., suppression) when a tone is presented together with a swept suppressor tone. Because the cochlear frequency-place map is roughly exponential, we use exponential frequency chirps instead of linear ones. To explore the effect of cochlear dispersion on the strength of suppression, we manipulate the direction of the frequency sweep, as done in behavioral studies, as well as its rate (or, equivalently, the total sweep duration). Mechanical vibrations in a mouse cochlea are measured using optical coherence tomography.

Results

The suppression produced by slow sweeps is expected to be almost independent of sweep direction. In contrast, the suppression produced by sweeps whose rate is comparable to the instantaneous-frequency trajectory resulting from cochlear dispersion is expected to depend on sweep direction, with upward sweeps suppressing the probe tone more than downward sweeps. Preliminary data obtained in an intact mouse cochlea corroborate these predictions at low but not high tone/suppressor level combinations.

Conclusions

We interpret the observed patterns of suppression caused by swept tones in light of the known characteristics of two-tone and temporal suppression in the cochlea. Specifically, we discuss the relationship between the instantaneous frequency of the suppressor sweep and the amount of probe tone suppression observed at given time.

Während bei allen untersuchten Sorten eine quantitativ unterschiedliche Hemmung des Trieblängenwachstums nachzuweisen war, lassen sich die Sorten hinsichtlich der Reaktion auf B-995 in 3 Reaktionsgruppen zusammenfassen: • a) Hemmung des Trieblängenwachstums: V. silvestris, Fosters White Seedling, Gutedel, Morio-Muskat, Portugieser, Riesling, Ruländer, Scheurebe, Siegfried, Silvaner, blauer Spätburgunder, Traminer sowie die Zuchtstämme B-7-2 und B-2-11. • b) Keine oder eine nur sehr schwache Veränderung des Trieblängenwachstums nach Applikation von B-995; V. rupestris, G 157, Kober 5 BB, Müller-Thurgau sowie die Neuzuchten Aris, Deckerrebe, Vi. 5861, Gf. 1-23-16, Gf. 30n-9-129 und B-6-18. • c) Förderung des Trieblängenwachstums; V. labrusca. • Die Beeinflussung der Trieblängenzunahme - ob Förderung oder Hemmung beruht hauptsächlich auf einer Veränderung der Internodienlänge. Die Einwirkung auf die Nodienzahl ist gering. • Die Hemmwirkung von CCC und B-995 auf das Triebwachstum folgt einer logarithmischen Funktion. • Bei gemeinsamer Applikation von CCC und Gibberellinsäure (GS) wird die durch GS hervorgerufene Wachstumsstimulation bei Riesling weder im Langtag noch im Kurztag durch CCC verändert. • Die möglichen Ursachen der Reaktionsvariabilität, namentlich die Wechselwirkungen mit endogenem Gibberellin und Auxin, werden diskutiert.

Fruitfulness in grape-vines: The response of different cultivars to light, temperature and daylength

description: Plants of five cultivars (Sultana, syn. Thompson Seedless; Muscat Gordo Blanco; Rhine Riesling; Shiraz; and Ohanez) of grape-vine (Vitis vinifera L.) were grown for 13 weeks in controlled environment growth cabinets, and then the number of bunch primordia present in buds was counted after dissection. Sultana (S) and Ohanez (0) had very few bunch primordia under all conditions. Of the other cultivars all were barren after growth at 15° C, but Rhine Riesling (R) and Shira". (Sh) had some primordia at 20° C, and Gordo (G) at 25° C. Primordia number of R, Sh and G increased with increase in temperature up to approximately 35° C. R had most at all temperatures. At a light intensity of 900 foot candles (f. c.) R had some primordia, but other cultivars were barren. At 1800 f. c. both R and G had a moderate number of primordia, but Sh was barren. At 3600 f. c. R, G and Sh all had fruitful buds. R had the greatest number of primordia at each intensity. R and Sh had more primordia when 16 hours of light per day were given continuously than when in two portions separated by 4-hour dark periods. S and O produced very few bunch primordia under any of the conditions tested. Evidence is presented that this result was due to a later differentiation of bunch primordia in buds of these cultivars, such that primordia were still unrecognisable at 13 weeks. Of the other cultivars, R had more primordia at all temperatures and light intensities; each cultivar performed well at high temperature and light intensity, but only R performed well under poor conditions.

description: Experiments conducted at the Agricultural College, Dharwar, showed that a preharvest spray of benzyladenine (a cytokinin) at 500 ppm significantly reduced the post-harvest berry drop in Anab-e-Shahi grapes. A mixture of 100 ppm a-NAA and 100 ppm cytokinin solution resulted in the least berry drop. The 'drop test' confirmed that the berries were more firmly held in the treated lots than in untreated ones. No marked influence of the chemical on the losses in weight and wastage was observed at this concentration.

The origin of the vertebrate jaw: Intersection between developmental biology-based model and fossil evidence

description: The origin of the vertebrate jaw has been reviewed based on the molecular, developmental and paleontological evidences. Advances in developmental genetics have accumulated to propose the heterotopy theory of jaw evolution, i.e. the jaw evolved as a novelty through a heterotopic shift of mesenchyme-epithelial interaction.According to this theory, the disassociation of the nasohypophyseal complex is a fundamental prerequisite for the origin of the jaw, since the median position of the nasohypophyseal placode in cyclostome head development precludes the forward growth of the neural-crest-derived craniofacial ectomesenchyme. The potential impacts of this disassociation on the origin of the diplorhiny are also discussed from the molecular perspectives. Thus far, our study on the cranial anatomy of galeaspids, a 435–370-million-year-old 'ostracoderm’ group from China and northern Vietnam, has provided the earliest fossil evidence for the disassociation of nasohypophyseal complex in vertebrate phylogeny. Using Synchrotron Radiation X-ray Tomography, we further show some derivative structures of the trabeculae (e.g. orbitonasal lamina, ethmoid plate) in jawless galeaspids, which provide new insights into the reorganization of the vertebrate head before the evolutionary origin of the jaw. These anatomical observations based on new techniques highlight the possibility that galeaspids are, in many respects, a better proxy than osteostracans for reconstructing the pre-gnathostome condition of the rostral part of the braincase. The cranial anatomy of galeaspids reveals a number of derived characters uniquely shared with gnathostomes. This raises the potential possibility that galeaspids might be the closest jawless relatives of jawed vertebrates. Our study provides an intriguing example of intersection between developmental biology-based model and fossil evidence.

Year: 2017

description: The appearance of functionally hermaphroditic flowers and mature seeded berries on otherwise male vines was defined as a natural sex conversion from functionally male to functionally hermaphroditic flowers. Sex conversion was investigated in vegetatively propagated vines of the wild male V. vinifera clone 030-44 derived from a seed sample collected in Iran. Frequency of sex conversion varied markedly among inflorescences on the same vine, among vines side by side, and from season to season, which implicated the effect of environment, both local and seasonal. Studies on vegetative selection for high fruitfulness revealed that sex conversion was not due to somatic mutation or any vegetative syndrome within the vine.

Leaf age and photosynthesis in Vitis vinifera L.

Publisher: name: VITIS - Journal of Grapevine Research
Year: 2017

description: The photosynthetic activity of individual vine leaves was measured on potted plants grown out doors, using both infrared C02 analysis and 14C02 fixation techniques. Peak photosynthetic activity occurred at the time when the leaf became fully expanded, approximately 40 days after unfolding. Thereafter, photosynthesis declined gradually. The increase in photosynthesis during leaf expansion was not attributable to increased chlorophyll concentration, altered spectral characteristics, or to any outstanding anatomical change. Nevertheless, a sensecent leaf was readily distinguished anatomically from an expanding or mature leaf.Irrespective of leaf age, sucrose was the major 14C02 fixation product. Oligo- saccharides also incorporated label, and accounted for a higher proportion of the 14C fixation products in older leaves. Regardless of leaf age, malic and citric acids became labelled, but the formation of 14C tartaric acid was restricted to the rapidly expanding foliage. The amino compounds serine and aspartic acid showed some incorporation of label in all leaves examined.

description: The addition of β-glucan or EPS-producing bacteria is mainly used to improve the quality and the acceptability of low-fat yoghurt. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of adding β-glucan, EPS-producing Bifidobacterium bifidum, or both on physical properties, fermentation time, and organoleptic criteria of low-fat yoghurt, additionally to the viability of L. bulgaricus and B. bifidum. Two types of low-fat yoghurt (1.5% fat) were prepared, with the addition of standard oat β-glucan by 0.15% or without its addition. Each type of yoghurt mixture was inoculated with two kinds of starters: traditional and probiotic (B. bifidum) culture. The physicochemical properties, the count of viable bacterial starter culture, and the organoleptic evaluation for all yoghurt types were evaluated after storage 24 h at 4 °C. Moreover, the fermentation time was monitored. The incorporation of both β-glucan and EPS in yoghurt resulted in the highest viscosity (13.7 mPa.s) and WHC (55.94%), besides to the lowest syneresis (28.47%). The acidity and pH of the yoghurt samples were significantly affected (p > 0.05) by the β-glucan addition. The yoghurt type Bifidobacterium glucan had the shortest fermentation time (215 min), and the maximum viability of both B. bifidum (7.63 Log CFU g -1 ) and L. bulgaricus (7.50 Log CFU g -1 ). The β-glucan had a pronounced effect on the overall acceptability of yoghurt more than the EPS. In conclusion, enriching the low-fat yoghurt with oat β-glucan and EPS-producing B. bifidum is the highest effective method for improving the yoghurt’s quality and the viability of probiotics.

Evaluation of attractive insecticidal treated bed nets (ITN) against resistant anopheles mosquitoes and malaria transmission: a modelling study
Creators: name: Nicolas, Moiroux
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: There is recent evidences from the field and the lab that Long Lasting Insecticidal nets (LLIN) may be attractive to An. gambiae populations and may increase bite exposure of LLIN users. However it was not clear how these attractive LLINs may impact malaria transmission at a community level. We developed a model to answer this question under various scenario of LLIN coverage and vector’s physiological (mortality), quantitative (indoor escaping) and qualitative (spatial-temporal avoidance of LLINs) behavioral resistances. We compared the effect of attractive, inert and deterrent LLINs on the spread of the common Kdr mutation in a malaria vector population using a genetic model. According to our model, attractive LLINs are expected to reduce malaria transmission in comparison to inert or deterrent LLINs whatever the coverage percentage. Maximum reduction was reached at 63-65% coverage for which a highly attractive LLIN is expected to reduce malaria transmission by 69% and 85 % compared to an inert and a deterrent LLIN, respectively. Our simulations show that whatever the level of physiological or behavioral resistance in the vector population, attractive LLINs are always most efficient than inert or deterrent LLINs but the reduction in transmission lowered as resistance increased. According to our genetic model, attractive LLIN allowed a slightly faster spreading of the Kdr mutation in the vector population than inert and deterrent LLINs. Our model clearly showed that attractive LLIN are expected to reduce malaria transmission in all scenarios even in the presence of resistant phenotypes of vectors, when compared to inert or deterrent LLINs. The possibility to increase attraction of LLINs might be considered as a new opportunity. Combining new knowledge in chemical ecology and techniques to bi-impregnate LLINs may lead to provide to the current malaria control toolbox a most efficient version of a still well-accepted and utilized tool.

description: Psychologists have been called upon in recent years to look into the psychological effects on humans, after being in space for prolonged periods, as both government and private corporations work towards making the idea of living in space for long periods of time a reality. Over the course of a few decades, psychological research into “analogue sites” here on earth, simulations, and astronauts living and working in orbit has started to show how humans are affected by such environments. In general, findings show the potential for conflict or emotional deterioration during long-term isolated periods, but it may have more to do with people’s perceptions of their environment more so than the environment itself. Even still, living in isolated and confined areas can cause stress and problematic behaviours that may interfere with productivity and relationships. Communication, homesickness, and habitat design also become important factors in the success of long-term missions in space. Several factors pertaining to culture such as nationality, gender roles and sexual orientation become important aspects to learn about in order to work harmoniously with others in a long-term space environment and to avoid any misunderstandings. The broad definition of culture also becomes an important aspect of living and working off world. Most researchers are aware of the problems when studying culture such as pinpointing the parts of culture that are causing such issues. Therefore, it is suggested that future research defines culture more clearly while learning more in depth information regarding participants’ ideas of their own identities. This independent study will explore the psychosocial issues of living in isolated and confined spaces, culture and gender for long-term missions off world.

description: Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) causes immunosuppression and high mortality in young chickens. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) are important regulators during viral infection. However, detailed the regulatory mechanisms of lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA have not yet been described in IBDV infection. Here, we analysed the role of lncRNA53557/gga-miR-3530-5p/STAT1 axis in very virulent IBDV (vvIBDV) infection. Evidently upregulated expression of lncRNA53557 was observed in bursa of Fabricius and DT40 cells. Meanwhile, overexpression of lncRNA53557 promoted STAT1 expression and inhibited vvIBDV replication and vice versa, indicating that the upregulation of lncRNA53557 was part of the host antiviral defence. The subcellular fractionation assay confirmed that lncRNA53557 can be localized in the cytoplasm. Further, dual-luciferase reporter, RNA pulldown, FISH and RT-qPCR assays revealed that lncRNA53557 were directly bound to gga-miR-3530-5p and had a negative regulatory relationship between them. Subsequent mechanistic analysis showed that lncRNA53557 acted as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) of gga-miR-3530-5p to relieve the repressive effect of gga-miR-3530-5p on its target STAT1, as well as Mx1, OASL, and ISG15, thereby suppressing vvIBDV replication. The study reveals that a network of enriched lncRNAs and lncRNA-associated ceRNA is involved in the regulation of IBDV infection, offering new insight into the mechanisms underlying IBDV-host interaction.

subject: Crop and pasture production

description: Background and Aims: In the subfamily Poöideae (Poaceae), certain grass species possess anti-herbivore alkaloids synthesized by fungal endophytes that belong to the genus Epichloë (Clavicipitaceae). The protective role of these symbiotic endophytes can vary, depending on alkaloid concentrations within specific plant–endophyte associations and plant parts.Methods: We conducted a literature review to identify articles containing alkaloid concentration data for various plant parts in six important pasture species, Lolium arundinaceum, Lolium perenne, Lolium pratense, Lolium multiflorum|Lolium rigidum and Festuca rubra, associated with their common endophytes. We considered the alkaloids lolines (1-aminopyrrolizidines), peramine (pyrrolopyrazines), ergovaline (ergot alkaloids) and lolitrem B (indole-diterpenes). While all these alkaloids have shown bioactivity against insect herbivores, ergovaline and lolitrem B are harmful for mammals.Key Results: Loline alkaloid levels were higher in the perennial grasses L. pratense and L. arundinaceum compared to the annual species L. multiflorum and L. rigidum, and higher in reproductive tissues than in vegetative structures. This is probably due to the greater biomass accumulation in perennial species that can result in higher endophyte mycelial biomass. Peramine concentrations were higher in L. perenne than in L. arundinaceum and not affected by plant part. This can be attributed to the high within-plant mobility of peramine. Ergovaline and lolitrem B, both hydrophobic compounds, were associated with plant parts where fungal mycelium is usually present, and their concentrations were higher in plant reproductive tissues. Only loline alkaloid data were sufficient for below-ground tissue analyses and concentrations were lower than in above-ground parts.Conclusions: Our study provides a comprehensive synthesis of fungal alkaloid variation across host grasses and plant parts, essential for understanding the endophyte-conferred defence extent. The patterns can be understood by considering endophyte growth within the plant and alkaloid mobility. Our study identifies research gaps, including the limited documentation of alkaloid presence in roots and the need to investigate the influence of different environmental conditions.

description: Die Kommunikation mit Eltern ist für Lehrkräfte selbstverständlicher Bestandteil ihres Berufs. Sie wird jedoch häufig als herausfordernd beschrieben; gleichzeitig gibt es verhältnismäßig wenig Lehrangebote zu gelingender Kommunikation und Beratung von Eltern im Rahmen der Ausbildung. Welche Herausforderungen in der Kommunikation mit Eltern nennen Lehrkräfte konkret als belastend? Lehrkräfte der Grundschule in Baden-Württemberg (n = 394) nennen neben dem Zeitaufwand mit jeweils über 40 Prozent als größte zeitliche und persönliche Herausforderungen Eltern, bei denen sie Mängel in der erzieherischen Kompetenz sehen, sowie Eltern, die nach Ansicht der Lehrkräfte Probleme leugnen. Zwischen Lehrkräften in den ersten Berufsjahren sowie Lehrkräften mit Berufserfahrung lassen sich Unterschiede feststellen.

description: In large-scale emergencies or widespread disruptions to healthcare systems, access to effective broad-spectrum antibiotics is crucial. This analysis compares two such antibiotics - Amoxicillin/Clavulanic Acid and Sultamicillin (Unacid) - evaluating their suitability for potential stockpiling in preparation for crisis situations where rapid treatment must be administered with limited medical supervision. We define crisis on a spectrum ranging from supply chain disruptions to severe public health emergencies, encompassing scenarios where normal healthcare delivery is significantly compromised. This academic paper assesses these antibiotics based on their spectrum of activity, dosage forms, storage requirements, side effect profiles, and effectiveness against common pathogens in emergency situations. Additionally, we consider factors such as ease of administration, shelf life, and potential for use in varying environmental conditions. Our findings aim to inform evidence-based decisions on antibiotic stockpiling strategies for emergency preparedness, taking into account both medical efficacy and logistical feasibility in challenging circumstances.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

description: Both adults and larvae of Listronotus bonariensis damage ryegrass (Lolium spp.), a dominant component of New Zealand pasture. Damage can be reduced by Epichloë festucae var. lolii, a biotrophic fungal symbiont of ryegrass, through the production of alkaloids with deterrent and/or toxic effects to insect herbivores including L. bonariensis. Here we report results from two pot trials and a field trial comparing endophyte strains with different alkaloid profiles that have been introduced to reduce or eliminate adverse effects on stock. Adult L. bonariensis feeding scars, number of eggs and the proportion of tillers with larval damage and the severity of that damage were recorded. Samples of pseudostem and leaf blades were analysed for alkaloids. AR1 endophyte reduced adult feeding, oviposition, and larval damage whereas AR37 had no effect on adults but was highly effective in reducing larval damage. Reduction in adult feeding and oviposition by different NEA strains was governed by concentrations of peramine and ergovaline. For plants infected with AR37, alkaloid concentrations that determined the extent of larval damage were influenced by host species and ploidy; tetraploid L. perenne was more severely damaged than its diploid equivalent; L. multiflorum cultivars were more susceptible than the L. hybridum and L. perenne cultivars.

description: Epichloë (Clavicipitaceae) is a genus of filamentous fungal endophytes that have co-evolved with cool-season grasses with which they form perpetual, symbiotic associations. In natural ecosystems Epichloë endophytes have implications for species diversity, food web structures, and fundamental ecological processes. In many managed pastoral systems, selected Epichloë strains are regarded as necessary components of the sward as they confer bioprotective traits to their host grasses. The most agriculturally important associations are those between selected strains of asexual, vertically transmitted Epichloë spp. and the widely used pasture species: perennial ryegrass and tall fescue. Selected Epichloë strains confer invertebrate, especially insect, pest deterrence to their plant hosts from the production of several alkaloidal secondary metabolites. Additional Epichloë-mediated attributes include tolerance against fungal diseases and abiotic stresses, such as those caused by drought and/or nutrient deficiencies. Strains of mutualistic Epichloë have been developed into highly efficacious biocontrol products and are widely utilized within the Americas, Australia, and New Zealand for pasture persistence and wildlife deterrence.

description: Soil biology encompasses a vast diversity of organisms contributing to soil processes and functions that underpin the delivery of soil ecosystem services. We review the response of soil biology to long-term phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) fertiliser application, focusing on trials conducted at Winchmore and Ballantrae Research Stations under sheep grazing. Application of P and N fertiliser increases soil fertility and pasture production and can have impacts on soil biology. Higher earthworm abundance was associated with increasing P, but not N fertiliser application. Microbial biomass or respiration tended to increase with P application but decrease with N application. Both P and N fertiliser decreased fungal biomass. The few microbial functional groups studied also appear responsive to fertilisation. A decline in soil pH may have driven some of these changes and could have been mitigated with lime. Other factors, such as plant composition, may also be important to the soil biology but have received limited attention in these studies. There are currently few indicators that can be used on-farm to assess soil biology. We discuss these as well as measures that can be used in a research context to inform the impacts of fertiliser use on soil biology and its functioning.
