title: <i>In Silico</i> development of new SSRs primer for aquaporin linked to drought tolerance in plants

description: Plants are exposed to various stress factors including biotic and abiotic stresses. Drought is a limiting factor that minimizes the development and growth of several plants in arid and semi-arid regions. Stress response is usually occur at different levels, Morphological, physiological and biochemical while at the molecular level a large number of genes are involved. This study aims at developing a new SSR primer for aquaporin related to drought stress in plants. A total of 177 complete coding sequences (CDS) available in the NCBI database are downloaded. After analyzing with BLAST, 163 sequences are selected. 1294 SSR derived from these sequences are characterized with MISA and indicating that all sequences contained SSRs. The most abundant SSR has been tetra-nucleotide repeat motif (36%) and among all the tetra-nucleotide repeats, the motif AAAG/CTTT was the most common type, whereas in tri-nucleotide, the motif CCG/CGG has been the predominate type. By using Primer3, 1120 primer pairs are generated and after analyzing, only 735 non redundant primer pairs that present the good characteristics are selected. Among them, some of the pairs of primers are randomly selected and validated on DNA of various species using PCR and agarose gel.

title: Antagonism of the mineralocorticoid pathway limits choroidal neovascularization

description: Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is a major cause of visual impairment in wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) patients, particularly when refractory to intraocular anti-VEGF injections. Here we report that co-treatment with the oral mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonist, spironolactone reduces signs of CNV in refractory cases. In a model of wet AMD, MR pathway inhibition with pharmacological or conditional transgenic approaches inhibits CNV development through VEGF-independent mechanisms at least partially mediated by the extracellular matrix protein, decorin. Slowly released local spironolactone is as efficient as systemic treatment, opening up novel therapeutic avenues for neovascular AMD unresponsive to anti-VEGF drugs.

title: Strength characterization of full-scale aerobic granular sludge

description: For a stable operation, the aerobic granular sludge process requires mechanically strong granules in balance with the shear forces in the reactor. Despite a wide general interest in granular stability, the mechanical strength of both anaerobic and aerobic granular sludge received very little attention. In this study, a high-shear method for strength characterization has been evaluated for full-scale aerobic granular sludge (AGS). Abrasion times up to 90 min showed a stable abrasion rate coefficient (<i>K</i>), while prolonged periods of abrasion up to 24 h resulted in a decrease in abrasion rate. Larger granules have higher abrasion rate than smaller granules. No abrasion was observed at low shear rates, indicating a threshold shear rate for abrasion. Lab-scale AGS showed a lower abrasion rate than full-scale AGS. Incubation of full-scale granules in NaCl led to a decrease in abrasion rate at 25 g L<sup>−1</sup> NaCl, but incubation in 50 g L<sup>−1</sup> NaCl led to a further decrease for only half of the tested granular sludge samples.

title: A screening protocol incorporating brain-computer interface feature matching considerations for augmentative and alternative communication

description: <i>Purpose</i>: The use of standardized screening protocols may inform brain-computer interface (BCI) research procedures to help maximize BCI performance outcomes and provide foundational information for clinical translation. Therefore, in this study we developed and evaluated a new BCI screening protocol incorporating cognitive, sensory, motor and motor imagery tasks. <i>Methods</i>: Following development, BCI screener outcomes were compared to the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Cognitive Behavioral Screen (ALS-CBS), and ALS Functional Rating Scale (ALS-FRS) for twelve individuals with a neuromotor disorder. <i>Results</i>: Scores on the cognitive portion of the BCI screener demonstrated limited variability, indicating all participants possessed core BCI-related skills. When compared to the ALS-CBS, the BCI screener was able to modestly discriminate possible cognitive difficulties that are likely to influence BCI performance. In addition, correlations between the motor imagery section of the screener and ALS-CBS and ALS-FRS were non-significant, suggesting the BCI screener may provide information not captured on other assessment tools. Additional differences were found between motor imagery tasks, with greater self-ratings on first-person explicit imagery of familiar tasks compared to unfamiliar/generic BCI tasks. <i>Conclusion</i>: The BCI screener captures factors likely relevant for BCI, which has value for guiding person-centered BCI assessment across different devices to help inform BCI trials.

title: Crowd intelligence can discern between repertoires of killer whale ecotypes

description: Call classifications by human observers are often subjective yet they are critical to studies of animal communication, because only the categories that are relevant for the animals themselves actually make sense in terms of correlation to the context. In this paper we test whether independent observers can correctly detect differences and similarities in killer whale repertoires. We used repertoires with different <i>a priori</i> levels of similarity: from different ecotypes, from different oceans, from different populations within the same ocean, and from different local subpopulations of the same population. Calls from nine killer whale populations/subpopulations were pooled into a joint sample set, and eight independent observers were asked to classify the calls into separate categories. None of the observers’ classifications strongly followed the known phylogeny of the analyzed repertoires. However, some phylogenetic relationships were reflected in the classifications substantially better than others. Most observers correctly separated the calls from two North Pacific ecotypes. Call classifications averaged across multiple observers reflected the known repertoire phylogenies better than individual classifications, and revealed the similarity of repertoires at the level of subpopulations within the same population, or closely related populations.

title: Non-invasive visualisation and identification of fluorescent Leishmania tarentolae in infected sand flies

description: A total of 2 x 10<sup>6 </sup>parasites were pelleted (1200xg, 10 min) and washed once with ice-cold PBS before resuspending in 1ml of blood meal (sheep blood mixed with heat-inactivated serum) and fed to the insects using a chick skin membrane with the Hemotek apparatus at 37 °C as described above. Groups of ~80 females were fed for one hour, after which 60 fully-engorged individuals were separated and kept under standard laboratory conditions until required for experimental work. Negative control groups were flies fed only on sheep blood and manipulated as stated above. Sand fly mortality was recorded daily and 14 insects were dissected 5 days post infection (DPI), when defecation had already taken place and parasites have likely established an infection. Parasite counts were performed by dissecting individual midguts in PBS and manually homogenizing them in 50 ul of PBS. Total parasites were counted under the microscope using a haemocytometer. Percentage of infected flies 5 DPI was recorded and sand fly survival was evaluated every day for the duration of the experiment. Three biological replicates were performed.
