Structure/function studies on the autotrasporter BrkA and investigation of the role of periplasmic chaperones in BrkA secretion
Creators: name: Yue, Jody
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: BrkA is a virulence factor in Bordetella pertussis that belongs to the ATI subfamily of autotransporter proteins in Gram negative bacteria. ATI members have: (i) an N-terminal signal peptide for secretion across the inner membrane, (ii) a surface expressed passenger domain, and (iii) a C-terminal translocation unit for passenger secretion across the outer membrane. There are many questions about ATI secretion across the periplasm and the outer membrane. Studies on the ATI member IcsA suggests rapid periplasmic transit, and that DegP's chaperone activity is involved. Comparison of passenger size with estimated and known pore sizes of transporter domains suggest that the passenger is too large for translocation across the outer membrane in a folded state. The mechanism by which an ATI passenger might maintain an unfolded state in the periplasm while resisting proteolysis is unknown. BrkA secretion in Escherichia coli was used to investigate periplasmic transit and outer membrane translocation of an ATI passenger. Previous studies revealed the junction domain in BrkA, which functioned in passenger folding. A highly conserved subdomain (region 3) was identified by ClustalW alignment of the junction, and was dispensable for in vitro folding. This subdomain might function in secretion by keeping the passenger unfolded for translocation by binding to a periplasmic chaperone. The role of region 3 in BrkA surface expression and in vivo folding was tested by trypsin accessibility and immunofluorescence microscopy, and limited proteolysis assays, respectively. In parallel studies, the involvement of periplasmic chaperones in BrkA secretion was investigated by trypsin accessibility assays on Skp, DegP, and SurA knockout strains expressing BrkA. Residues A⁶⁸¹ -E⁶⁹³ of region 3 were important for secretion of a folding-competent BrkA passenger, but were dispensable for in vivo folding. We termed A⁶⁸¹-E⁶⁹³ the "hydrophobic secretion facilitation" (HSF) domain, after the term coined by Velarde and Nataro for the corresponding region in the ATI member EspP, which was important for passenger secretion. SurA, a peptidyl prolyl isomerase (PPIase) that functions in porin secretion, was implicated in BrkA secretion. The PPIase activity of SurA was dispensable, suggesting that SurA's chaperone activity is the necessary activity for BrkA secretion.

description: We investigate the influence of the adjustment procedure and the set of measured observables on the properties and predictive power of relativistic self-consistent mean-field models for the nuclear ground state. These studies are performed with the point-coupling variant of the relativistic mean-field model. We recommend optimal adjustment algorithms for the general two-part problem and we identify various trends and dependencies as well as deficiencies of current models. Consequences for model improvements are presented.

description: In the present work, we analyze the $P$-wave singly-heavy baryon spectrum belonging to $\mathbf{6}_F$ by combining the observations of the heavy baryon states, and restudy the strong decays of the $1P$ wave $Σ_b$ states within the $j$-$j$ coupling scheme using the chiral quark model. We obtain that: (i) the structure $Σ_b(6097)$ observed in the $Λ_bπ$ final state may arise from the overlapping of $Σ_b|J^P=\frac{3}{2}^-,2\rangle$ and $Σ_b|J^P=\frac{5}{2}^-,2\rangle$. (ii) The broad structure $Σ_b(6072)$ observed in the $Λ_bππ$ final state may arise from the overlapping of $Σ_b|J^P=\frac{1}{2}^-,1\rangle$ and $Σ_b|J^P=\frac{3}{2}^-,1\rangle$. (iii) The missing state $Σ_b|J^P=\frac{1}{2}^-,0\rangle$ is most likely to be a narrow state with a width of $Γ\sim10$ MeV, and mainly decays into $Λ_bπ$ channel.

On the sodium enhancement in spectra of slow meteors and the origin of Na-rich meteoroids

description: The detected Na/Mg ratio in a sample of 17 Na-enhanced and Na-rich meteors is investigated based on obtained spectral, orbital and structural data. We utilize the meteor observations of the AMOS network obtained within a survey of medium-sized meteoroids supplemented by higher-resolution spectra observed on the Canary Islands. Ground-based meteor observations are then compared with high-resolution Echelle spectra of simulated ablation of known meteorite samples in a high-enthalpy plasma wind tunnel. It was found that most Na-enhanced and Na-rich spectra can be explained by the effect of low meteor speed related to low ablation temperatures and generally do not reflect real meteoroid composition. Spectra obtained by the laboratory experiment simulating low meteor speeds show corresponding Na-rich profiles irrespectively of the meteorite composition. We estimate that for an H-type ordinary chondrite with speed of $\approx$ 10 km/s, the Na line intensity is increased by a factor of 40 to 95. The dynamical analysis has revealed that all Na-rich meteors originated on Apollo-type orbits and exhibit consistent chondritic material strengths. For more clarity in the classification of Na-enhanced and Na-rich meteoroids, we propose new speed-dependent boundaries between the spectral classes. Real compositional Na enhancement was confirmed in five cometary meteoroids: two Perseids, an $α$-Capricornid, $ν$-Draconid and a sporadic. The two Na-enhanced Perseids were linked with increased material strength suggesting that the detected increase of volatile content has implications for the meteoroid structure.

The unzipping is described as a thermally activated escape process in an energy landscape. The Jarzynski equality is recovered as an identity, independent of the pulling protocol. This approach allows one to evaluate easily, by numerical integration, the work distribution, once a few parameters of the energy landscape are known.

Vision of community : a feminist re-reading of Elizabeth Goudge’s children’s novels
Creators: name: Warry, Michelle Joselin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this study is to discuss Elizabeth Goudge's children's novels as feminist novels. Using criteria developed by feminist literary critics of children's literature, such as Lissa Paul, Rebecca Trites, and Shirley Foster and Judy Simons, I identify elements in Goudge's children's novels that classify them as such and argue subsequently that Goudge's novels, often considered little more than sentimental novels of place, deserve to be reconsidered. While some critics have appreciated certain values in some of Goudge's novels in years past, I want to bring Goudge's novels for children into a contemporary dialogue by exposing the vision of community at their center, which is informed by feminist sensibility. I observe that little scholarly attention has been paid to Goudge's writing. I propose that this stems from the fact that Goudge's writing is informed by a feminine value system and has thus been devalued by a patriarchal hierarchy of literary values. I further propose that there is much to value in Goudge's children's novels for a wide range of readers, in particular her vision of community. I argue that there is a place for Goudge's children's novels in a feminist canon of children's literature. I utilize the methodology of feminist re-reading to uncover the feminine value systems within the narratives—value systems that are embodied in Goudge's female characters, who play key roles in securing integration in their communities. I assert that the central motif in Goudge's children's novels is the healing of communities through a rectification of imbalances in their spiritual, economic and social structures. Further, I demonstrate how Goudge's girl characters produce a community that becomes a harmonious whole through redemption and forgiveness.

description: Accreting white dwarfs (WDs) constitute a significant fraction of the hard X-ray sources detected by the INTEGRAL observatory. Most of them are magnetic Cataclysmic Variables (CVs) of the intermediate polar (IP) and polar types, but the contribution of the Nova-likes systems and the systems with optically thin boundary layers, Dwarf Novae (DNs) and Symbiotic Binaries (or Symbiotic Stars, SySs) in quiescence is also not negligible. Here we present a short review of the results obtained from the observations of cataclysmic variables and symbiotic binaries by INTEGRAL. The highlight results include the significant increase of the known IP population, determination of the WD mass for a significant fraction of IPs, the establishment of the luminosity function of magnetic CVs, and uncovering origin of the Galactic ridge X-ray emission which appears to largely be associated with hard emission from magnetic CVs.

description: We study spherically symmetric regular and black hole solutions in the Einstein-Skyrme theory with a negative cosmological constant. The Skyrme field configuration depends on the value of the cosmological constant in a similar manner to effectively varying the gravitational constant. We find the maximum value of the cosmological constant above which there exists no solution. The properties of the solutions are discussed in comparison with the asymptotically flat solutions. The stability is investigated in detail by solving the linearly perturbed equation numerically. We show that there exists a critical value of the cosmological constant above which the solution in the branch representing unstable configuration in the asymptotically flat spacetime turns to be linearly stable.

description: AU Mic is a young, very active M dwarf star with a debris disk and at least one transiting Neptune-size planet. Here we present detailed analysis of the magnetic field of AU Mic based on previously unpublished high-resolution optical and near-infrared spectropolarimetric observations. We report a systematic detection of circular and linear polarization signatures in the stellar photospheric lines. Tentative Zeeman Doppler imaging modeling of the former data suggests a non-axisymmetric global field with a surface-averaged strength of about 90 G. At the same time, linear polarization observations indicate the presence of a much stronger $\approx$2 kG axisymmetric dipolar field, which contributes no circular polarization signal due to the equator-on orientation of AU Mic. A separate Zeeman broadening and intensification analysis allowed us to determine a mean field modulus of 2.3 and 2.1 kG from the Y- and K-band atomic lines respectively. These magnetic field measurements are essential for understanding environmental conditions within the AU Mic planetary system.

description: Under assumption of singular behavior of invariant charge alpha_s(q^2) at q^2 sim 0 and of large q^2 behavior, corresponding to the perturbation theory up to four loops, a procedure is considered of smooth matching the beta-function at a boundary of perturbative and nonperturbative regions. The procedure results in a model for alpha_s for all q^2>0 with dimensionless parameters being fixed and dimensional parameters being expressed in terms of only one quantity Lambda_QCD. The gluon condensate which is defined by the nonperturbative part of the invariant charge is calculated for two variants of ``true perturbative'' invariant charge, corresponding to freezing option and to analytic one in nonperturbative region. Dimensional parameters are fixed by varying normalization condition alpha_s(m^2_tau) = 0.29, 0.30, ..., 0.36. It is obtained that on the boundary of perturbative region alpha_0 = alpha_s(q_0^2) simeq 0.44, the procedure results in nonperturbative Coulomb component alpha_Coulomb simeq 0.25, the nonperturbative region scale q_0 simeq 1 GeV, the model parameter sigma simeq (0.42 GeV)^2 which suits as string tension parameter, the gluon condensate appears to be close for two variants considered, K simeq (0.33 -- 0.36 GeV)^4 (for alpha_s(m^2_tau) = 0.33).

Para tanto, sistematiza-se um referencial teórico acerca da ECT, particularizando alguns conceitos de seus pressupostos, bem como dos atributos das transações (especificidade dos ativos, freqüência de recorrência e incerteza, na presença de oportunismos e mercados e contratos incompletos). Para levantar os dados foi utilizada pesquisa exploratória, através de pesquisa de campo realizada junto aos representantes da referida cadeia no município de Cacoal, utilizando-se como instrumento de coleta de dados um questionário com perguntas fechadas. Foi observado principalmente um equilíbrio sobre o tipo de governança adotado na cadeia produtiva, entretanto esse equilíbrio não é observado na relação entre os elos da cadeia, onde se percebe um desequilibro maior principalmente relacionado aos produtores como elo mais fraco da cadeia.-------------This study aims to analyze and describe the characteristics of the coffee productive chain of Cacoal under the Economic Cost of Transaction (ECT) perspective. Thus, a theoretical referential is systemize about ECT, specifying some concepts of its assumptions, as well as the transactions attributes (assets specificity, recurrence frequency and uncertainty under opportunism and markets and incomplete contracts). To raise the data was used exploratory research, through field research conducted with the representatives of the chain in the city of Cacoal, using as tool for collecting data a questionnaire with closed questions. It was observed mainly a balance of the kind of governance adopted in the production chain, however that balance is not observed in the relationship between the links in the chain, where it perceives a greater unbalance mainly related by the producers as weakest link in the chain.

description: Atomistic spin models have found enormous success in addressing the properties of magnetic materials, grounded on the identification of the relevant underlying magnetic interactions. The huge development in the field of magnetic skyrmions and other noncollinear magnetic structures is largely due to our understanding of the chiral Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. Recently, various works have proposed new types of chiral interactions, with seemingly different forms, but the big picture is still missing. Here, we present a systematic construction of a generalized spin model containing isotropic and chiral multi-site interactions. These are motivated by a microscopic model that incorporates local spin moments and the spin-orbit interaction, and their symmetry properties are established. We show that the chiral interactions arise solely from the spin-orbit interaction and that the multi-site interactions do not have to follow Moriya's rules, unlike the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya and chiral biquadratic interactions. The chiral multi-site interactions do not vanish due to inversion symmetry, and comply with a generalized Moriya rule: If all sites connected by the interaction lie in the same mirror plane, the chiral interaction vector must be perpendicular to this plane. We then illustrate our theoretical considerations with density functional theory calculations for prototypical magnetic systems. These are triangular trimers built out of Cr, Mn, Fe and Co adatoms on the Re(0001), Pt(111) and Au(111) surfaces, for which $C_\mathrm{3v}$ symmetry applies, and Cr and Fe square tetramers on Pt(001) with $C_\mathrm{4v}$ symmetry. The multi-site interactions are substantial in magnitude and cannot be neglected when comparing the energy of different magnetic structures. Finally, we discuss the recent literature in light of our findings, and clarify several unclear or confusing points.

description: Pretende-se levantar e analisar o papel da Cooperativa na produção e comercialização do leite e da assistência técnica no assentamento Timboré, localizado na região oeste do estado de São Paulo. A metodologia proposta é composta pela aplicação de um questionário junto aos técnicos do ITESP responsáveis por este assentamento e também ao responsável pela Cooperativa Agropecuária Timboré Andradina e Castilho (COATAC), visando levantar o seu papel junto aos cooperados na produção e comercialização do leite. Concluindo que os técnicos do ITESP vêm desenvolvendo um bom trabalho junto aos produtores de leite do assentamento. Porém, as atividades da cooperativa junto aos cooperados resumem-se às compras conjuntas de insumos a preços mais baixos que os de mercado. A cooperativa deveria ser mais ativa junto aos cooperados, o que resultaria em melhorias.----------------The aim is to raise and analyze the role of the cooperative in the production and commercialization of milk and technical assistance in the settlement Timboré, located in the western region of the state of Sao Paulo. The proposed methodology comprises the application of a questionnaire along with the technical ITESP responsible for the settlement and also responsible for the Cooperative Agricultural Timboré Andradina and Castilho (COATAC), aiming to raise its role among cooperated in the production and commercialization of milk. Concluding that the technical of ITESP have been developing a good job with the milk producers of the settlement. However, the activities of the cooperative among cooperated summarized the joint purchase of inputs at lower prices than the market. The cooperative should be more active among cooperated, which results in improvements.
title: Exponential integrators for time-dependent multi-particle Schrödinger equations

Subjects: subject: Multi-configuration time-dependent Hartree-Fock method
subject: time integration
subject: exponential integrators
subject: Lawson integrators

description: We compare different time stepping methods for the multi-configuration time-dependent Hartree-Fock (MCTDHF) method for the Schrödinger equation. Especially we focus on exponential integrators, where the differential equation is first transformed using the variation-of-constants formula or via the Lawson transformation and then solved numerically. First we compare the methods on a cubic Schrödinger equation with an exact solution to verify the expected convergence behaviour of our implementation and to numerically compare properties such as the error constant. Then we use two model problems a helium atom and a quantum dot that we irradiate by an external potential (laser pulse) which we discretize using the MCTDHF for further evaluation. On these problems we will additionally evaluate adaptive multi-step methods (again using an exponential transformation) and observe the change in the size of the time step. We find that although the exponential one-step methods (using either transformation) provide excellent stability results, the Adams-Lawson multi-step methods with a predictor-corrector step are the most efficient methods due to the ability to increase the convergence order arbitrarily at virtually no extra computational cost. The efficiency is further increased using time step adaptivity, where we observe that the time step prediction reacts to local extrema of the external potential which seem to pose a stability requirement for the methods.

description: The paper emphasizes the importance of embedded institutions for the transformation of the agricultural sector and rural economies in the transition countries and identifies and analyses institutional aspects regarding agriculture and rural development common to the transition countries. It focuses on the institutional dimension of reform policies, i.e. on the political economy aspects of the transition process that were decisive for the success or failure of the reforms. The importance of identifying the “mental models” of various stakeholders during the transition process is emphasized and the reasons are explored why the transition process in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe has not resulted in a restructuring of the agricultural sector towards family farms as most were expecting. The paper then discusses the role of institutions for the governance of farms, the comparative advantage of farm sizes and the choice of specific legal forms of farms.
Rural Non-farm Livelihoods in Transition Economies: Emerging Issues and Policies

description: This article reviews key conceptual issues related to the development of the rural non-farm economy (RNFE) in a transition context and analyses available empirical evidence on the role of RNFE during recovery from the transition recession. Growth in the RNFE in the transition countries took place during the recession transition, which shows that it may be distress driven, but the paper explores other factors which may be driving the RNFE. It looks at the RNFE in light of the factors driving income growth and inequality, i.e. endowments and institutions. It concludes that, although not uniform across transition countries, the RNFE should be seen as a component of a growth strategy rather than as a temporary “refuge” or survival one. The patterns of growth of the RNFE will closely follow those of general economic recovery as well as the developments in the agricultural sector itself.

description: This paper offers an overview of land reform processes in the CEECs and their outcomes and impacts and analyzes current and emerging structures in rural areas. Different types of land consolidation are defined and their potential impacts are assessed. The paper then looks in depth at land consolidation processes, especially in the context of land management, and outlines preconditions and cornerstones for various approaches. Environmental aspects and principles for land funds and land banking are also drawn in. The paper argues the need for an integrated and sustainable rural development which includes a role for land consolidation.
Conformally formal manifolds and the uniformly quasiregular non-ellipticity of $(\mathbb{S}^2 \times \mathbb{S}^2) \operatorname{\#} (\mathbb{S}^2 \times \mathbb{S}^2)$

description: We show that the manifold $(\mathbb{S}^2 \times \mathbb{S}^2) \operatorname{\#} (\mathbb{S}^2 \times \mathbb{S}^2)$ does not admit a non-constant non-injective uniformly quasiregular self-map. This answers a question of Martin, Mayer, and Peltonen, and provides the first example of a quasiregularly elliptic manifold which is not uniformly quasiregularly elliptic. To obtain the result, we introduce conformally formal manifolds, which are closed smooth $n$-manifolds $M$ admitting a measurable conformal structure $[g]$ for which the $(n/k)$-harmonic $k$-forms of the structure $[g]$ form an algebra. This is a conformal counterpart to the existing study of geometrically formal manifolds. We show that, similarly as in the geometrically formal theory, the real cohomology ring $H^*(M; \mathbb{R})$ of a conformally formal $n$-manifold $M$ admits an embedding of algebras $Φ\colon H^*(M; \mathbb{R}) \hookrightarrow \wedge^* \mathbb{R}^n$. We also show that uniformly quasiregularly elliptic manifolds $M$ are conformally formal in a stronger sense, in which the wedge product is replaced with a conformally scaled Clifford product. For this stronger version of conformal formality, the image of $Φ$ is closed under the Euclidean Clifford product of $\wedge^* \mathbb{R}^n$, which in turn is impossible for $M = (\mathbb{S}^2 \times \mathbb{S}^2) \operatorname{\#} (\mathbb{S}^2 \times \mathbb{S}^2)$.

description: Accurate and precise radius estimates of transiting exoplanets are critical for understanding their compositions and formation mechanisms. To know the planet, we must know the host star in as much detail as possible. We present complete results for planet-candidate hosts from the K2-HERMES survey, which uses the HERMES multi-object spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope to obtain R$\sim$28,000 spectra for more than 30,000 K2 stars. We present complete host-star parameters and planet-candidate radii for 224 K2 candidate planets from C1-C13. Our results cast severe doubt on 30 K2 candidates, as we derive unphysically large radii, larger than 2 $R_{Jup}$. This work highlights the importance of obtaining accurate, precise, and self-consistent stellar parameters for ongoing large planet search programs - something that will only become more important in the coming years, as TESS begins to deliver its own harvest of exoplanets.
