title: Synthesis and characterisation of biodegradable liquid crystal elastomer with the property of shape recovery

description: Novel shape recovery biodegradable liquid crystal (LC) elastomer is reported here for the first time. The method of synthesis of the shape memory biodegradable LC elastomer has been explored. During the reaction, the LC molecules are added to form LC polymers, and then cross-linking agent is added to form a cross-linked LC elastomer. The LC elastomer in this work is hydrophilic. <i>In vitro</i> degradation of the LC elastomer films in a buffer of pH 7.4 at 37°C shows that the LC elastomer has good degradability. The biodegradable LC elastomer exhibits liquid crystalline behaviour and has shape memory ability. Its shape memory and actuating properties also have been studied. The reversible transition from liquid crystalline phase to isotropic phase is utilised as the switching mechanism for these stimuli-responsive materials. When reheating the LC elastomer to 120°C, the shape will recover.

title: An evolutionary approach to the delimitation of labour market areas: an empirical application for Chile

description: An evolutionary approach to the delimitation of labour market areas: an empirical application for Chile. <i>Spatial Economic Analysis</i>. Labour market areas (LMAs) are argued to represent a more appropriate policy framework than administrative units for the analysis of spatial labour market activity. This article develops LMAs for Chile by applying an evolutionary computation approach. This innovative approach defines LMAs through an optimization process by maximization of internal cohesion, subject to restrictions of minimum levels of self-containment and population. To evaluate the appropriateness of the LMAs, comparative analyses are performed between alternative delimitations based on different parameter configurations of the proposed method versus administrative boundaries and the most widely used method for official LMA delimitation, the travel-to-work areas method.

title: Permeabilities of the Ore Mountains.xlsx

description: An outstanding legacy dataset has been compiled from underground excavations mostly prospected and mined by the former Soviet (-German) Stock Company Wismut describing the hydrology of faulted basement rocks in the Ore Mountains (SE Germany). It consists of more than 5000 detailed descriptions of groundwater inflows to about 660 km of tunnels and 57 km of drillings measured during or shortly after excavation. Inflow measurements (recorded between 1E-8 to 4E-2 m<sup>3</sup>/s) have been converted to fracture transmissivities using a simplified analytical solution. Discarding site specific effects, the median log transmissivity decreases from 1E-7 to 1E-10 m<sup>2</sup>/s within the studied depth interval of 0-2000 mbgs and the spacing of conductive fracture increases from 0.1 to 2500 m. This general trend is overprinted at three mining sites by a clear reversal of fracture transmissivity which correlates with contact metamorphic aureoles around Variscan granite intrusions (327-295 Ma). We hypothesize that this transmissivity increase is caused by processes accompanying granite intrusion and contact metamorphism. The thickness of these hydraulically active aureoles is greater in lower grade metamorphic schist than in higher grade metamorphic gneisses. Rock mass equivalent continuum conductivities have been estimated by arithmetic averaging of fracture and matrix transmissivities over 100 m intervals and have been converted to permeabilities. The median equivalent continuum permeability decreases with depth according to (k in m<sup>2</sup> and increasing depth z in km being positive). Matrix conductivity controls the bulk conductivity below about 1000 mbgs and is less sensitive to the occurrence of contact metamorphic aureoles.

title: Urea enhances cell lysis of <i>Schizosaccharomyces pombe ura4</i> mutants

description: Cell lysis is induced in <i>Schizosaccharomyces pombe ∆ura4</i> cells grown in YPD medium, which contains yeast extract, polypeptone, and glucose. To identify the medium components that induce cell lysis, we first tested various kinds of yeast extracts from different suppliers. Cell lysis of <i>∆ura4</i> cells on YE medium was observed when yeast extracts from OXOID, BD, Oriental, and Difco were used, but not when using yeast extract from Kyokuto. To determine which compounds induced cell lysis, we subjected yeast extract and polypeptone to GC-MS analysis. Ten kinds of compounds were detected in OXOID and BD yeast extracts, but not in Kyokuto yeast extract. Among them was urea, which was also present in polypeptone, and it clearly induced cell lysis. Deletion of the <i>ure2</i> gene, which is responsible for utilizing urea, abolished the lytic effect of urea. The effect of urea was suppressed by deletion of <i>pub1</i>, and a similar phenotype was observed in the presence of polypeptone. Thus, urea is an inducer of cell lysis in <i>S. pombe ∆ura4</i> cells. Urea enhances cell lysis of <i>Schizosaccharomyces pombe ura4</i> mutants.

title: <i>Lunachloris lukesovae</i> gen. et sp. nov. (Trebouxiophyceae, Chlorophyta), a novel coccoid green alga isolated from soil in South Bohemia, Czech Republic

description: Culture collections of microorganisms can still hold undiscovered biodiversity; with molecular techniques, considerable progress has been made in characterizing microalgae which were isolated in the past and misidentified due to a lack of morphological features. However, many strains are still awaiting taxonomic reassessment. Here we analysed the phylogenetic position, morphology and ultrastructure of the strain CCALA 307 previously identified as <i>Coccomyxa</i> cf. <i>gloeobotrydiformis</i> Reysigl isolated in 1987 from field soil in South Bohemia, Czech Republic. Molecular phylogenetic analyses based on SSU rDNA and the plastid <i>rbc</i>L gene revealed that the strain CCALA 307 formed a distinct sister lineage to <i>Neocystis</i> and <i>Prasiola</i> clades within the Trebouxiophyceae. We describe this strain as a new genus and species, <i>Lunachloris lukesovae</i>. Multiple conserved nucleotide positions identified in the secondary structures of the highly variable ITS2 rDNA barcoding marker provide further evidence of the phylogenetic position of <i>Lunachloris</i>. Minute vegetative cells of this newly recognized species are spherical or ellipsoid, with a single parietal chloroplast without a pyrenoid. Asexually, it reproduces by the formation of 2–6 autospores. Since the majority of recent attention has been paid to algae from the tropics or extreme habitats, the biodiversity of terrestrial microalgae in temperate regions is still notably unexplored and even a ‘common’ habitat like agricultural soil can contain new, as yet unknown species. Moreover, this study emphasizes the importance of culture collections of microorganisms even in the era of culture-independent biodiversity research, because they may harbour novel and undescribed organisms as well as preserving strains for future studies.

title: Cycling on the edge: the effects of edge lines, slanted kerbstones, shoulder, and edge strips on cycling behaviour of cyclists older than 50 years

description: To prevent single-bicycle crashes, this study is the first to evaluate effects of slanted kerbstones, edge lines, shoulder strips, and edge strips on cycling behaviour of cyclists ≥50 years. In Experiment 1, 32 participants cycled on a control path and paths with edge lines, slanted kerbstones, and three types of 0.5 m wide shoulder strips (with grey artificial grass, green artificial grass, or concrete street-print). In Experiment 2, 30 participants cycled a different route including a control path and paths with edge lines or 0.3 m white edge strips. Cyclists rode closer to the main cycle path’s edge in the shoulder strips conditions, although the presence of these strips resulted in a larger total distance to the verge compared to the control condition. Furthermore, cyclists cycled further from the verge in the edge strip condition than the control condition. Safety implications of the shoulder and edge strips are considered to be positive. <b>Practitioner Summary:</b> Older cyclists have a high risk for single-bicycle crashes (e.g. riding into the verge). In two experiments, cyclists ≥50 years cycled a route where different treatments were applied on a cycle path. Shoulder and edge strip treatments were related to more efficient path use and safer distances from the verge. <b>Abbreviations:</b> AGS: artificial grass strip; CL: control location; CSS: concrete street-print strip; ELC: edge line continuous; ELI: edge line intermittent; LP: lateral position; SDLP: standard deviation of the lateral position; SK: slanted kerbstones; WCES: white chippings edge strip

title: NOX effect on LL tau within the F2014 Arabidopsis Clock model

description: The model F2014 integrates new components into a more extensive clock model Fogelmark K. and Troein PLoS Comp. Bio. 2014. While exploring the effects of NOX in the framework I found two interesting problems. First, The effect of NOX in the eight reported parameter sets is inconsistent, some of them shorting the period and other lengthening it. The data for expressers of NOX/BOA using CaMV35S promoter present longer period from 25 hours wild type to 30 35S:BOA. Some of the parameter sets are not consistent with the data and can be discarded (short period as expression increases). Second, it is important to remark the high uncertainty in period predictions in this model. This is relevant for example if we try to relate the effect of multiple copies of BOA gene on the clock period. High variability in model predictions stop us from linking model results to experimental data. For example, the experiment being super transformation of BOA in WT plants and quantifying the effects on period. From which we can attempt to infer amount of extra BOA and as a result total BOA amount in the extended system.
