description: We jointly analyze the gamma-ray burst (GRB) data observed with BAT and XRT on board the Swift mission to present a global view on the internal energy dissipation processes in GRBs, including precursors, prompt gamma-ray emission, extended soft gamma-ray emission, and late X-ray flares. The Bayesian block method is utilized to analyze the BAT lightcurves to identify various emission episodes. Our results suggest that these emission components likely share a same physical origin, which is repeated activation of the GRB central engine. What we observe in the gamma-ray band may be the tip-of-iceberg of more extended underlying activities. The precursor emission, which is detected in about 10% of {\em Swift} GRBs, is preferably detected in those GRBs that have a massive star core-collapse origin. The soft extended emission (EE) tail, on the other hand, is preferably detected in those GRBs that have a compact star merger origin. Bright X-ray emission is detected during the BAT quiescent phases prior to subsequent gamma-ray peaks, implying that X-ray emission may be detectable prior the BAT trigger time. Future GRB alert instruments with soft X-ray capability would be essential to reveal the early stage of GRB central engine activities, sheding light into jet composition and jet launching mechanism in GRBs.

description: Rats and mice are the most commonly used species as laboratory animal models of diseases in biomedical research. Environmental factors such as cage size, number of cage mates and cage structure such as environmental enrichment can affect the physiology and behavioural development of laboratory animals and their well-being throughout their lives. Therefore compromising the animals’ well-being due to inadequate environmental conditions would diminish the value of the research models. In order to improve laboratory animals’ well-being and promote the quality of animal based biomedical research, it is fundamentally important that the environment of the animals meets the animals’ species typical behavioural needs. Standardisation of environmental enrichment for laboratory rats and mice therefore should provide possibilities for the animals to engage in at least the essential behavioural needs such as social contact, nest building, exploring and foraging. There is a wide variety of environmental enrichment items commercially available for laboratory mice and rats. However, how these items are used by the animals, their practicality in the laboratory and whether these enrichments might lead to increased variation in experimental results have not been widely assessed. In this study, we implemented two standardised enrichment items (shelters, nesting materials) for rats and mice at different animal units. We instructed the animal care staff in monitoring the use of enrichment items by the animals by means of a daily score sheet system. The animal staff ’s viewpoint on practicality of the standardised enrichment program was assessed with a monthly score sheet survey. Also we assessed whether the enriched environment affected breeding results and contributed to an increase in variation of experimental data from several participating current studies. Our results show that the animals readily used the provided enrichment items. A slight increase in workload for the animal staff was reported. However, the overall judgement was mainly reported as good. Breeding results and variation in experimental data did not reveal differences as compared to data from previous housing and/or non enriched housing conditions. Overall, the results indicate that standard environmental enrichment that is species appropriate may enhance the animal’s well-being without undesirable side effects on the experimental outcome and daily working routine of the animal care staff.

description: Dysferlinopathies include Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy type 2B and Miyoshi Myopathy, which exhibit an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern of the dysferlin gene and characteristic inflammatory infiltrate in muscle. A study of prospective treatment options was conducted on SJL/J mice, a natural model for dysferlinopathy. The animals are immunocompetent but have elevated levels of circulating T-cells. A baseline termination of SJL/J mice was made at 14 weeks, and differential leukocyte counts determined for these animals through microscopy. After administration of resveratrol and Coenzyme Q10 exclusively and in combination to the four treatment groups for approximately three months, the remaining six groups (negative and positive controls as well as four treatment groups) were terminated and differential leukocyte counts once again determined. Eosinophil counts were significantly higher in the baseline termination group than all other experimental groups assessed except for the negative control SWR/J mice, possessing normal muscle and used in research as a general purpose strain. Eosinophil granules are suggested to reduce inflammation caused by other leukocytes. At onset of dysferlinopathy between four and six weeks of age, the increase in eosinophil counts could very likely be a compensation mechanism to decrease initial inflammation in the muscular tissues of the dysferlinopathic mice. Neutrophil counts of the baseline termination group were significantly higher only when compared to the resveratrol/Coenzyme Q10 combination group. Neutrophils are linked to early inflammatory responses and often sensitised in self-antigen recognition characteristic of autoimmune disease, a known complication in the SJL strain. Thus the higher neutrophil count in the six week old mice is probably related to inflammation at disease onset, but may also be indicative of autoimmunity; whereas the eosinophil counts may possibly play a more definitive role in the pathogenesis of dysferlinopathy. Further morphological studies will serve to clarify the roles of these leukocytes in dysferlinopathy.

description: The measurement of effector cells involved in immune responses is an important parameter in various fields of lymphocyte research using the Syrian Golden hamster as the experimental model. The aim of the present study was to identify the percentage of peripheral hamster CD4+ cells that undergo proliferation and the number of cell divisions induced by four different mitogenic compounds: phorbol-myristate acetate plus ionomycin (PMA/ionomycin), concanavalin A (Con A), phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) and the superantigen Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB). The proliferative response was investigated by the use of the cross-reactive mouse anti-CD4 antibody (clone H129.9) and analyzed by flow cytometry using the dye carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimydil ester (CFSE). PMA/ionomycin induced the highest proliferative response of CD4+ cells. Interestingly, the down-regulation in the CD4 expression described after PMA/ ionomycin activation both in human and in mouse lymphocytes was not seen in hamster cells. Stimulation with SEB and with Con A also induced up to 6 to 7 proliferation cycles in cells, whereas PHA induced the lowest proliferation. These results provide useful tools for the study of CD4+ cells in the hamster model.

description: In this paper we investigate the problem of testing the assumption of stationarity in locally stationary processes. The test is based on an estimate of a Kolmogorov-Smirnov type distance between the true time varying spectral density and its best approximation through a stationary spectral density. Convergence of a time varying empirical spectral process indexed by a class of certain functions is proved, and furthermore the consistency of a bootstrap procedure is shown which is used to approximate the limiting distribution of the test statistic. Compared to other methods proposed in the literature for the problem of testing for stationarity the new approach has at least two advantages: On one hand, the test can detect local alternatives converging to the null hypothesis at any rate $g_T\to0$ such that $g_TT^{1/2}\to \infty$, where $T$ denotes the sample size. On the other hand, the estimator is based on only one regularization parameter while most alternative procedures require two. Finite sample properties of the method are investigated by means of a simulation study, and a comparison with several other tests is provided which have been proposed in the literature.

description: The aim is to explore the protective effect of Astragaloside IV on Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in rats induced by amyloid-ß peptide (Aß1-42) and its potential therapeutic mechanism. Methods: 50 Male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into five groups (10 rats for each): control group, model group, treatment groups 1~3. 10μg Aß1-42 was injected bilaterally into the dorsal dentate gyrus of the hippocampus of rats in the model and treatment groups to prepare the AD models. 24h after modeling, Astragaloside IV administration, with different drug dosages of 20mg/(kg•day), 40mg/(kg•day) and 60mg/(kg•day), was performed by gastric perfusion for rats in the treatment group 1~3. Later on, the cognitive ability of rats was examined by a series of behavioral tests, and the expression of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xl in the hippocampus of rats was detected by the fluorescein based Quantitative RT-PCR. Results: The spontaneous alternation test in a Y maze and Morris water maze task have demonstrated that the repeated daily administration of Astragaloside IV at the doses of 20mg/kg bw/day) (p<0.05), 40mg/kg bw/day) (p<0.01), and 60mg/kg bw/day) (p<0.01) significantly ameliorated the impairment of performance caused by Aß1–42. Furthermore, Astragaloside IV also enhanced the expression of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xl in hippocampal neurons of rats in a dosage-dependent manner. Conclusion: These findings suggest that Astragaloside IV could alleviate cognitive impairment and enhance the expression of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xl in hippocampus of rat models with AD.

description: Nanoparticles (NPs) engineered for biomedical applications are meant to be in contact with protein-rich physiological fluids. These proteins are usually adsorbed onto the NP surface, forming a swaddling layer called protein corona that influences cell internalization. We present a study on protein adsorption onto different magnetic NPs (MNPs) when immersed in cell culture medium, and how these changes affect the cellular uptake. Two colloids with magnetite cores of 25 nm, same hydrodynamic size and opposite surface charge were in situ coated with (a) positive polyethyleneimine (PEI-MNPs) and (b) negative poly(acrylic acid) (PAA-MNPs). After few minutes of incubation in cell culture medium the wrapping of the MNPs by protein adsorption resulted in a 5-fold size increase. After 24 h of incubation large MNP-protein aggregates with hydrodynamic sizes 1500 to 3000 nm (PAA-MNPs and PEI-MNPs respectively) were observed. Each cluster contained an estimated number of magnetic cores between 450 and 1000, indicating the formation of large aggregates with a "plum pudding" structure of MNPs embedded into a protein network of negative surface charge irrespective of the MNP_core charge. We demonstrated that PEI-MNPs are incorporated in much larger amounts than the PAA-MNPs units. Quantitative analysis showed that SH-SY5Y cells can incorporate 100 per cent of the added PEI-MNPs up to about 100 pg per cell, whereas for PAA-MNPs the uptake was less than 50 percent. The final cellular distribution showed also notable differences regarding partial attachment to the cell membrane. These results highlight the need to characterize the final properties of MNPs after protein adsorption in biological media, and demonstrate the impact of these properties on the internalization mechanisms in neural cells.

description: Hierarchical structure in ultraviolet images of 12 late-type LEGUS galaxies is studied by determining the numbers and fluxes of nested regions as a function of size from ~1 to ~200 pc, and the number as a function of flux. Two starburst dwarfs, NGC 1705 and NGC 5253, have steeper number-size and flux-size distributions than the others, indicating high fractions of the projected areas filled with star formation. Nine subregions in 7 galaxies have similarly steep number-size slopes, even when the whole galaxies have shallower slopes. The results suggest that hierarchically structured star-forming regions several hundred parsecs or larger represent common unit structures. Small galaxies dominated by only a few of these units tend to be starbursts. The self-similarity of young stellar structures down to parsec scales suggests that star clusters form in the densest parts of a turbulent medium that also forms loose stellar groupings on larger scales. The presence of super star clusters in two of our starburst dwarfs would follow from the observed structure if cloud and stellar subregions more readily coalesce when self-gravity in the unit cell contributes more to the total gravitational potential.

description: The effect of an ac electric field on quantum transport properties in a system of three quantum dots, two of which are connected in parallel while the third is coupled to one of the other two, is investigated theoretically. Based on the Keldysh nonequilibrium Green's function method, the spin-dependent current, occupation number and spin accumulation can be obtained in our model. An external magnetic flux, Rashba spin orbit coupling (SOC) and intradot Coulomb interactions are considered. The magnitude of the spin-dependent average current and the positions of the photon assisted tunneling (PAT) peaks can be accurately controlled and manipulated by simply varying the strength of the coupling and the frequency of the ac field. A particularly interesting result is the observation of a new kind of PAT peak and a multiple electron-photon pump effect that can generated and controlled by the coupling between the quantum dots. In addition, the spin occupation number and spin accumulation can be well controlled by the Rashba SOC and the magnetic flux.

description: Galaxy clusters provide unique laboratories to study astrophysical processes on large scales and are important probes for cosmology. X-ray observations are currently the best means of detecting and characterizing galaxy clusters. In this paper we describe the construction of the REFLEX II galaxy cluster survey based on the southern part of the ROSAT All-Sky Survey. REFLEX II extends the REFLEX I survey by a factor of about two down to a flux limit of $1.8 \times 10^{-12}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$ (0.1 - 2.4 keV). We describe the determination of the X-ray parameters, the process of X-ray source identification, and the construction of the survey selection function. The REFLEX II cluster sample comprises currently 915 objects. A standard selection function is derived for a lower source count limit of 20 photons in addition to the flux limit. The median redshift of the sample is $z = 0.102$. Internal consistency checks and the comparison to several other galaxy cluster surveys imply that REFLEX II is better than 90\% complete with a contamination less than 10\%.

description: Pesticide poisoning and related diseases have gained considerable attention in the recent past. Beta-cyfluthrin is a type II pyrethroid pesticide and is widely used against crop and house hold pests. The present study has been designed to assess histochemical alterations following beta-cyfluthrin intoxication in the liver of the female albino rat (Rattus norvegicus). Beta-cyfluthrin was orally administrated, 35.48 mg/kg b.wt. for acute (1 day) and 5.06, 2.53 and 1.68 mg/kg b.wt. for sub-acute (7, 14 and 21 days) treatments respectively. Beta-cyfluthrin caused marked hepatotoxicity in the form of altered hepatosomatic index viz. liver weight, body weight and liver weight-body weight ratio and histochemical localization of DNA and proteins in the liver of albino rat. On the basis of histochemical study, it could be revealed that beta-cyfluthrin causes a reduction in hepatic proteins and an enhancement in the hepatic DNA. The centrilobular zone was the zone of maximum alteration followed by the midzone and periportal zone of the hepatic lobule. Decreased protein content is a consequence of lysis of structural proteins and the need to support increased cell proliferation under stress of beta-cyfluthrin, whereas increased DNA is a consequence of increased mitogenic activity resulting in excessive cell proliferation.. It is proposed that xenobiotic metabolising enzymes, which are most concentrated in the centrilobular zone, cause the formation of metabolites of beta-cyfluthrin, which are toxic to the liver. Lower oxygen levels in the centrilobular zone, compared to other parts of the liver lobule, may have also contributed to the observed histochemical changes being greatest in the centrilobular zone.

description: Enhancement of customer service quality was one of the targets wished-for by the Ethiopian Revenue Customs Authority in bonded warehouse operations. For this reason, ERCA commenced diverse programs in order to meet the wished-for target. As per the data obtained from Addis Ababa Kality Customs Branch Office as of October 2017 the total number of licensee bonded warehouse customers decreased from 320 to 223. Complaining about service quality was one out of several factors for the decreasing number. For this reason, the main objective of this research was to assess factors affecting customer satisfaction of customs services of bonded warehouse operations where a survey conducted in Addis Ababa. This research was based upon the customer’s perspectives and experiences of customs services of bonded warehouse operations in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. This research intended to determine the significance level of service quality dimensions, explore the relationship between customer perceived value and customer satisfaction, the relationship between employee behaviour/professionalism and customer satisfaction in bonded warehouse operations.

description: The origin of bipolar outflow asymmetry in young stellar objects (YSOs) remains poorly understood. It may be due to an intrinsically asymmetric outflow launch mechanism, or it may be caused by the effects of the ambient medium surrounding the YSO. Answering this question is an important step in understanding outflow launching. We have investigated the bipolar outflows driven by the T Tauri star DG Tauri on scales of hundreds of AU, using the Near-infrared Integral Field Spectrograph (NIFS) on Gemini North. The approaching outflow consists of a well-collimated jet, nested within a lower-velocity disc wind. The receding outflow is composed of a single-component bubble-like structure. We analyse the kinemat- ics of the receding outflow using kinetic models, and determine that it is a quasi-stationary bubble with an expanding internal velocity field. We propose that this bubble forms because the receding counterjet from DG Tau is obstructed by a clumpy ambient medium above the circumstellar disc surface, based on similarities between this structure and those found in the modeling of active galactic nuclei outflows. We find evidence of interaction between the obscured counterjet and clumpy ambient material, which we attribute to the large molecular envelope around the DG Tau system. An analytical model of a momentum-driven bubble is shown to be consistent with our interpretation. We conclude that the bipolar outflow from DG Tau is intrinsically symmetric, and the observed asymmetries are due to environmental effects. This mechanism can potentially be used to explain the observed bipolar asymmetries in other YSO outflows.

description: Two different behavioural paradigms in T-maze were developed with the aim to induce patterns of behavioural persistence in rats. These new procedures were based not on traditional asymmetric reinforcement methodology, but on a modified Krechevsky paradigm using olfactory stimuli, where we found rats spontaneously developed patterns of behavioural persistence – or behavioural “strategies” - with less than 1% probability of these occurring by chance. Rats predominantly developed spatial position (win-stay) strategies, but also spatial alternation (win-shift) strategies, olfactory strategies, and, to a minor degree, olfactory alternation strategies. Spatial alternation behaviour was significantly more frequent during early (first 40 trials) than during late testing. Position bias (spatial win-stay behaviour) increased gradually with the number of trials and was significantly increased in late (over 120 trials) compared to early testing. In the second paradigm, habits were induced in rats using a forced-choice procedure. After 100 forced-choice trials of running to the same side in a T- or Y-maze, the rats showed a significant propensity for this side when allowed to choose freely, compared to the situation in which only one forced-choice trial had been performed. Ten forced trials were not sufficient to induce this habit. Both paradigms may be useful for modelling aspects of human habit formation and for behavioural neuroscience experiments.

description: Animal pain and nociception studies have greatly contributed to our understanding of acute and chronic pain processing and thereby contributed to the reduction of suffering of patients in pain. In classic analgesiometric tests in conscious animals, animal suffering is inevitable as pain behaviour is the primary outcome. Therefore, the feasibility of refining analgesiometric tests by anaesthesia is reviewed. The influence on analgesiometric tests of different anaesthetics is described. Other objective primary outcome measures than pain behaviour, including quantification of neural activation with c-fos and functional MRI (fMRI), are suggested to reduce animal discomfort for pain testing. In conclusion, reflex analgesiometric tests may be refined by choosing the right anaesthetics and alternative outcome measures such as c-fos or fMRI. Complex, higher order pain behaviour testing still requires conscious animals and can currently not be refined by the use of anaesthetics.

description: Total glomerular filtration rate depends upon the structural integrity, number and area of glomeruli. Counting the number of glomeruli as well as measuring glomerular area or volume is nowadays widely employed in human and experimental biology. Although functional and morphological differences between superficial and juxtamedullary glomeruli have been described, this is not always taken into account in morphometric studies. The aim of this paper was to study in female rats the area of juxtamedullary glomeruli and the area of superficial glomeruli as well as the influence of the age of rats and the methods of obtaining and processing the renal tissue. The glomerular area was larger in kidneys collected in liquid nitrogen and smaller in those fixed in Bouin (See Materials and Methods); 4% formaldehyde. These results were obtained in superficial and in juxtamedullary glomeruli (F=29.60, p<0.0001). Glomerular area increased with time in superficial as well as in juxtamedullary glomeruli (F=9.21, p<0.0001). The area of the juxtamedullary glomeruli was significantly higher (F=329.29, p<0.0001) than that of superficial glomeruli, independently of the different methods of obtaining and processing renal tissue, or the age of the animals. The results indicate that glomerular area is greater in juxtamedullary glomeruli, increases with age, and that different methods of obtaining and processing the renal tissue do have influence on glomerular size.

description: Fat-free mass (FFM) and fat mass (FM) were determined in male and female out-bred Wistar strain rats by both dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and by bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS). Data obtained by both methods were highly correlated and exhibited a small (4%) bias for FFM, with relatively small limits of agreement (approximately ± 10%), but differed to a much larger degree for FM (14 to 27% bias), with wide limits of agreement (± 50%). Inter-method correction equations are provided to allow conversion of data from one method to another, eliminating bias, but not altering the limits of agreement. Since both methods exhibited a high degree of precision of measurement, it is suggested that the poor agreement for measurement of fat mass is a reflection that fat mass is an indirectly-derived value, which includes unavoidable propagation of prediction errors associated with the primary measures. Both BIS and DXA provide rapid, minimally invasive and, in the case of BIS, portable techniques for body composition analysis. Their use for estimation of FFM may be recommended, but, for prediction of fat mass, exercise of caution would be prudent.

description: A new Hamiltonian model is introduced to study the spectrum of light hadrons. It combines relativistic field theory with elements of the constituent quark model. In addition to the standard linear confining and pseudoscalar meson exchange interactions with predetermined parameters, an additional interaction with different covariant spin structures is examined. Using a large scale Monte Carlo variational procedure, the resulting model Hamiltonian provides a very good, unified description of the light quark baryon (both octet and decuplet) and meson spectra.

description: There is little scientific evidence that environmental enrichment meets the physiological needs for laboratory animals. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the provision of nest boxes improved the lifespan of Tabby jimpy (Ta-jp) mutant mice carrying a lethal gene. Nest boxes tested in this study were small folded-paper trapezoid-shaped houses. The Nest box group was reared in cages with the nest boxes and the Control group was raised in only standard cages. Weaning results and survival rates in Ta-jp mice were compared between both groups. By the weaning stage, all of the Ta-jp mice survived in the Nest box group. There was a significant difference in weaning rates between both groups. The body weight of weanlings demonstrated a significant difference between both groups. The survival analysis indicated that the Nest box group (29.9 days) significantly had a longer lifespan than the Control group (25.7 days). The Nest box group developed few abnormal jumping behaviours. The nest boxes served as shelters from environmental stimuli. In conclusion, we confirmed that folded-paper nest boxes had a beneficial effect on weaning rates of Ta-jp mice. Our results revealed that there was significant improvement in survival of Ta-jp mice using the nest boxes.

Centre-to-limb spectro-polarimetric diagnostics of simulated solar photospheric magneto-convection: signatures of photospheric Alfven waves

description: Using numerical simulations of the magnetised solar photosphere carried out with the radiative magneto-hydrodynamic code, MURaM, and detailed spectro-polarimetric diagnostics of the simulated photospheric 6302A FeI line, spectro-polarimetric signatures of Alfven waves in magnetised intergranular lanes of the simulated solar photosphere were analysed at different positions at the solar disk. The torsional Alfven waves in the intergranular lanes are horizontal plasma motions, which do not have a thermal perturbation counterpart. We find signatures of Alfven waves as small-scale line profile Doppler shifts and Stokes-V area asymmetry enhancements in the simulated off-disk centre observations. These photospheric features disappear when the simulated observations are degraded with a telescope PSF similar to the one of Hinode. We analyse the possibilities for direct observations and confirmation of Alfven wave presence in the solar photosphere.

description: Adaptation of double-chamber plethysmography to the laboratory mouse was recently proven to yield stable and reliable pulmonary function values. This approach to investigation of the respiratory function in mice owes its success to its decisive advantages in terms of non-invasiveness, practical implementation and generation of quantitative flow/volume measurements and undisputed airway resistance calculation. When implemented to screen the resistance/susceptibility patterns to pathogens displayed by a panel of mouse inbred strains, the resistance value obtained was indeed able to detect tracheobronchic inflammation and to quantify its severity. However, extension of the pathological process to the most distal parts of the respiratory system did not result in further alteration of resistance, suggesting that its value reflects constraints acting on airflow in the airways rather than pathologic processes located in the more distal parts of the lungs. In this context, we hypothesized that a more exhaustive functional picture could be obtained, still non-invasively, by combining double-chamber plethysmography with carbon monoxide (CO) uptake measurements. The feasibility of CO-uptake measurements in mice was demonstrated and the conditions under which reproducibility can be maximized were defined. Differences linked to strain, somatic growth, and sex were examined and discussed, and reference values in growing male and female conscious and healthy BALB/cBy, SJL/J, C57BL/6, C3H/HeN, DBA/2 and 129/Sv mice were given. Finally, double-chamber plethysmography and CO-uptake values were proven to be exquisitely complementary in assessing and dissecting the functional impact of Sendai virus pneumonia in the laboratory mouse.
