Effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and P-solubilizing Pseudomonas fluorescence (ATCC-17400) on morphological traits and mineral content of sesame (2021)

Sesame (<i>Sesamum indicum</i> L.) is an important staple crop of the family Pedaliaceae. The commercial production of sesame is still dependent on the applications of chemical fertilizers. Mycorrhiza inoculum resulted in better morphological and biochemical traits in vegetables. Thus, here the outcome of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and <i>Pseudomonas fluorescence</i> (ATCC-17400) inoculation was studied in the pot culture experiment. Primarily, there seems to be a promising opportunity of AMF in sesame under pot and field trials because of enhanced morphological parameters, especially root weight, and disparities in nutrients and metabolites. The AMF appears to be an option to boost plant growth, mineral content, and sesame yield. The AMF treatment with <i>Pseudomonas fluorescence</i> strain (ATCC-17400) determined the maximum values for the morphological traits and mineral content. Overall, our study highlights mycorrhizal fungi and other microbes efficacy in achieving a successful sesame production.
Disease Prevention Not Decolonization: A Model for Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in Patients Colonized With Multidrug-resistant Organisms (2020)

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) yields variable intestinal decolonization results for multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs). This study showed significant reductions in antibiotic duration, bacteremia, and length of stay in 20 patients colonized/infected with MDRO receiving FMT (compared with pre-FMT history, and a matched group not receiving FMT), despite modest decolonization rates.
Magnetic probing of dispersion quality of cobalt modified iron oxide particle inks (1993)

The dispersion quality of magnetic inks made from cobalt modified iron oxide particles using a wetting binder based on vinyl acetate-vinyl chloride copolymer has been investigated using a magnetic probing technique known as DIMAG. The dispersion quality was found to improve with milling time as well as the binder concentration. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, (XPS) analysis of the bare and binder treated particles indicated that some sort of a chemical interaction takes place between the binder and the cobalt ions.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>

Immunophenotype studies have reported variability in immune response to the severity of S-OIV infections. Acute phase cytokine profiles of the 2009 S-OIV infection might have contributed to the pathogenesis of the pulmonary complications.
Offset Calibration for Appearance-Based Gaze Estimation via Gaze Decomposition (2019)

Appearance-based gaze estimation provides relatively unconstrained gaze tracking. However, subject-independent models achieve limited accuracy partly due to individual variations. To improve estimation, we propose a novel gaze decomposition method and a single gaze point calibration method, motivated by our finding that the inter-subject squared bias exceeds the intra-subject variance for a subject-independent estimator. We decompose the gaze angle into a subject-dependent bias term and a subject-independent term between the gaze angle and the bias. The subject-independent term is estimated by a deep convolutional network. For calibration-free tracking, we set the subject-dependent bias term to zero. For single gaze point calibration, we estimate the bias from a few images taken as the subject gazes at a point. Experiments on three datasets indicate that as a calibration-free estimator, the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods by up to $10.0\%$. The proposed calibration method is robust and reduces estimation error significantly (up to $35.6\%$), achieving state-of-the-art performance for appearance-based eye trackers with calibration.
Two and three-dimensional motion models for the left-ventricular wall (2002)

The authors present a unified framework for visual motion tracking of nonrigid objects with specific applications to the left ventricular endocardial wall motion. The theory is based on differential geometry and considers both two-dimensional contours and three-dimensional surfaces and in each case uses an elastic model of the object with constraints on the types of motion allowed for tracking the movement. The basic theme in both two- and three-dimensional analysis is to match shape properties in consecutive time instances and deduce quantitative information about the motion of the wall.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
The reinforcing and discriminative stimulus effects of the novel cocaine analog 2beta-propanoyl-3beta-(4-tolyl)-tropane in rhesus monkeys. (1997)

2beta-propanoyl-3beta-(4-tolyl)-tropane (PTT), is a cocaine analog that inhibits dopamine uptake, binding with high affinity and selectivity to the dopamine transporter. In the present study, the behavioral effects of PTT were evaluated in two models of cocaine abuse: drug self-administration and drug discrimination. In the first experiment, rhesus monkeys (n = 3) were trained to self-administer cocaine (0.03 and 0.1 mg/kg/injection, i.v.) under a fixed-interval 5-min schedule. Presession administration of PTT (0.03-0.3 mg/kg, i.v.) or cocaine (0.3-3.0 mg/kg, i.v.) were evaluated. At both self-administered doses of cocaine, PTT decreased response rates and total session intakes and was approximately 0.5 to 1.0 log units more potent than cocaine. In experiment 2, the reinforcing effects of PTT (0.003-0.1 mg/kg/injection) were evaluated in a separate group of monkeys (n = 4) responding under a fixed-interval 5-min schedule of cocaine (0.03 mg/kg/injection) presentation. When substituted for cocaine, PTT maintained response rates similar to saline-maintained rates and significantly lower than rates maintained by cocaine (0.003-0.3 mg/kg/injection). Total session PTT intake was significantly lower than cocaine intake. In experiment 3, the discriminative stimulus effects of PTT (0.003-0.1 mg/kg, i.m.) were evaluated in monkeys (n = 3) trained to discriminate cocaine (0.2 mg/kg, i.m.) from saline (0.5 ml). PTT substituted for cocaine in a dose-dependent manner and was 0.5 to 1.0 log units more potent than cocaine. At the highest PTT dose, cocaine-appropriate responding was observed 8 to 24 hr after the injection. These results demonstrated that the long-acting indirect dopamine agonist PTT was effective in decreasing cocaine self-administration and in abuse liability testing showed a unique behavioral profile, not functioning as a reinforcer when substituted for cocaine and producing discriminative stimulus effects similar to cocaine.
Total and Partial Urogenital Mobilization: Focus on Urinary Continence (2012)

There was no significant difference between total and partial urogenital mobilization procedures regarding postoperative urinary continence in our cohort and the literature. The urinary continence rate was 96% in the congenital adrenal hyperplasia/urogenital sinus group and 89.5% in the cloacal group.
Scheme for sub-shot-noise transmission measurement using a time-multiplexed single-photon source (2021)

Sub-shot-noise performance in transmission measurements can be achieved in optical quantum metrology owing to significantly lower uncertainty in light intensity of quantum beams compared to their classical counterparts. In this work, we simulate the outcome of an experiment that uses a multiplexed single-photon source, considering several types of experimental losses, where we show that the sub-Poissonian statistics of the output is key for achieving sub-shot-noise performance. We compare the numerical results with the shot-noise limit attained using coherent sources and the quantum limit, obtained with an ideal photon-number Fock state. We also investigate conditions in which threshold detectors can be used, as well as the effect of input light fluctuations. Our results show that sub-shot-noise performance can be achieved with improvement factors ranging from 1.5 to 2, even without using number-resolving detectors.
CMOS low current measurement system for nanopore sensing applications (2011)

We present a 16 channel micro-chip implementation of a low current measurement system for use in automated nanopore sensing applications using capacitive feedback. We successfully used our device to perform voltage-clamping and current measurement across specially designed nanopores for low voltage sensing to detect the presence of nanoparticles. Nanoparticle events in the pore can be seen as transient changes in current from the standing current. We demonstrate our system by detecting events from 2 ms to 50 ms with a 250 pA to 350 pA change from the baseline current.
Circulating Bovine Lymphocytes Contain Receptors for Parathyroid Hormone (1983)

No cell type practicably obtainable in vivo, such as blood cells, is known to contain parathyroid hormone (PTH) receptors; this deficiency has hampered investigation of receptor regulation. Second, PTH in vivo is among the potent stimulators of osteoclastic activity, although no direct hormonal effects on these cells have been identified. Several lines of evidence suggest that cells of the immune system may mediate PTH effects on osteoclasts. We, therefore, studied bovine blood cells for the presence of PTH receptors and PTH-stimulated adenylate cyclase. Using an analogue of bovine PTH, (125)I-labeled [Nle(8),Nle(18),Tyr(34)]bPTH-(1--34)amide, we found PTH-specific binding to intact, nonadherent mononuclear cells (lymphocytes) and PTH-stimulated adenylate cyclase in plasma membranes prepared from these cells, and not with cells or membranes from other blood cells. Lymphocytes may serve to study the effects of physiologic and pathologic perturbations on PTH-receptor function in vivo. Exploration of PTH-related lymphocyte responses may help define the relation between cells of the immune system and osteoclastic bone resorption.
Phase Ia study of a hypoxic cell sensitizer doranidazole (PR-350) in combination with conventional radiotherapy (2001)

A phase Ia study of a 2-nitroimidazole nucleoside analog radiosensitizer doranidazole was conducted to evaluate its toxicity and pharmacokinetics in patients undergoing conventional external beam radiotherapy. Twenty-nine patients, aged 40-74 years, with a WHO performance status of 0-2 and with adequate organ functions, were entered in the study. Single administration of doranidazole was investigated first with 13 patients and then a course of five consecutive daily administrations was tested in 16 patients. Doranidazole was given i.v. 25 min before irradiation. Doranidazole doses of 400, 800, 1300 and 2000 mg/m2 were evaluated in the former study, and daily doses of 800, 1300 and 2000 mg/m2 were investigated in the latter study. All patients tolerated doranidazole administration. Although a transient decrease in the 24-h creatinine clearance rate was observed in five patients (one in the single administration study and four in the repeat administration study), this was not considered to be the dose-limiting toxicity. Other toxicities (hematological and gastrointestinal), which may not be related to doranidazole administration, were also mild and were not dose limiting. No neurotoxicity was observed. The average maximum concentration, area under the time-concentration curve and half-life of doranidazole in serum were 172-194 microg/ml, 502-582 microg x h/l and 4.2-4.6 h, respectively, at 2000 mg/m2. At the tested doses, administration of doranidazole was tolerable and achieved serum concentrations at which reasonable radiosensitization could be expected. A phase Ib/II study to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of up to 30 repeat administrations seems to be warranted.

Agreement in DNA methylation levels from the Illumina 450K array across batches, tissues, and time (2018)

Epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) have focused primarily on DNA methylation as a chemically stable and functional epigenetic modification. However, the stability and accuracy of the measurement of methylation in different tissues and extraction types is still being actively studied, and the longitudinal stability of DNA methylation in commonly studied peripheral tissues is of great interest. Here, we used data from two studies, three tissue types, and multiple time points to assess the stability of DNA methylation measured with the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip array. Redundancy analysis enabled visual assessment of agreement of replicate samples overall and showed good agreement after removing effects of tissue type, age, and sex. At the probe level, analysis of variance contrasts separating technical and biological replicates clearly showed better agreement between technical replicates versus longitudinal samples, and suggested increased stability for buccal cells versus blood or blood spots. Intraclass correlations (ICCs) demonstrated that inter-individual variability is of similar magnitude to within-sample variability at many probes; however, as inter-individual variability increased, so did ICC. Furthermore, we were able to demonstrate decreasing agreement in methylation levels with time, despite a maximal sampling interval of only 576 days. Finally, at 6 popular candidate genes, there was a large range of stability across probes. Our findings highlight important sources of technical and biological variation in DNA methylation across different tissues over time. These data will help to inform longitudinal sampling strategies of future EWAS.
Selective expression of endogenous lactose-binding lectins and lactoseries glycoconjugates in subsets of rat sensory neurons. (1986)

Cell-surface glycoconjugates and endogenous lectins have been implicated in cellular interactions that contribute to embryonic development. Functional subsets of primary sensory neurons in mammalian dorsal root ganglia (DRG) have been shown recently to express specific cell-surface oligosaccharide structures. We report here that endogenous lectins with affinity for sensory neuron glycoconjugates are also synthesized by subsets of DRG neurons and are present in the dorsal horn of the developing spinal cord. The distribution of two endogenous lactose-binding lectins, RL-14.5 and RL-29 (subunit Mrs of 14,500 and 29,000, respectively), was examined by immunoblotting and by immunocytochemistry in embryonic and postnatal rat DRG and spinal cord. The two lectins appear soon after the formation of the DRG and are present in the cell bodies and terminals of subsets of DRG neurons that also express cytoplasmic and cell-surface lactoseries glycoconjugates. RL-14.5 and RL-29 are present in overlapping, but not coincident, subsets of DRG neurons that project to the superficial dorsal horn of the spinal cord. In addition, RL-14.5, but not RL-29, is expressed in spinal motoneurons from embryonic day 14. The preferential localization of lactoseries glycoconjugates and lactose-binding lectins in the DRG and the dorsal horn of the spinal cord suggests that these complementary molecules contribute to the development and function of primary sensory neurons.
Self-association of Collagen Triple Helic Peptides into Higher Order Structures (2006)

Interest in self-association of peptides and proteins is motivated by an interest in the mechanism of physiologically higher order assembly of proteins such as collagen as well as the mechanism of pathological aggregation such as beta-amyloid formation. The triple helical form of (Pro-Hyp-Gly)(10), a peptide that has proved a useful model for molecular features of collagen, was found to self-associate, and its association properties are reported here. Turbidity experiments indicate that the triple helical peptide self-assembles at neutral pH via a nucleation-growth mechanism, with a critical concentration near 1 mM. The associated form is more stable than individual molecules by about 25 degrees C, and the association is reversible. The rate of self-association increases with temperature, supporting an entropically favored process. After self-association, (Pro-Hyp-Gly)(10) forms branched filamentous structures, in contrast with the highly ordered axially periodic structure of collagen fibrils. Yet a number of characteristics of triple helix assembly for the peptide resemble those of collagen fibril formation. These include promotion of fibril formation by neutral pH and increasing temperature; inhibition by sugars; and a requirement for hydroxyproline. It is suggested that these similar features for peptide and collagen self-association are based on common lateral underlying interactions between triple helical molecules mediated by hydrogen-bonded hydration networks involving hydroxyproline.
Ways of Seeing: Aussat in its Social Context (1985)

AUSSAT can be seen as one factor in an evolving pattern of change in information and communications technology and as a change in Australia's technological and social structure. These changes have been analysed in a number of ways. One analysis sees technological change as inevitable and a necessary aspect of 'progress'; another sees AUSSAT as a part of international developments, while another sees the project as a move towards centralisation of institutional power. Whichever explanation is used, it is certain that the forms of our technological future are dynamic and not fixed.
Introduction (1996)

Abstract Sufism is the term which designates the inner, experiential aspects of Islam. It is often translated as ‘Islamic mysticism’, a term which presents certain methodological difficulties to the researcher. As the inner dimension of Muslim worship, Sufism can be said to be the essence of Islam. Religious debate is no stranger in Egypt, which has been a centre for Islamic scholarship almost since the entry of the Muslims in the mid-seventh century AD. Given Egypt's long tradition of Islamic scholarship and Sūfī activity, it is not surprising that Sufism should be a significant element in Egypt's public religious discourse. The use of what might be called the ‘floating arbiter’, a religious authority whose opinion is cited in support of two conflicting sides in a given dispute, is emphasized. The chapter also presents the ways in which the writers respond to criticisms of Sūfī ideas and practices.
Désir de langue, subjectivité, rapport au savoir : le cas de la revitalisation des langues très en danger (2019)

R&eacute;sum&eacute; Cet article porte sur le contexte particulier de l&rsquo;enseignement et de la transmission de langues tr&egrave;s menac&eacute;es. Les auteurs, linguiste, sociolinguiste et formatrice d&rsquo;enseignants de langues, sont membres du r&eacute;seau de recherche Langues En Danger &ndash; Terrain, Documentation, Revitalisation (LED-TDR), qui a d&eacute;velopp&eacute; une approche contrastive d&rsquo;&eacute;tude de la revitalisation des LED. Cette proposition se base sur des observations de terrain de langues tr&egrave;s menac&eacute;es&nbsp;au Nicaragua, en Oregon (USA) et en France : dans les cas les plus favorables, il ne reste aujourd&rsquo;hui que quelques locuteurs &acirc;g&eacute;s, mais le panel des situations prises en compte s&rsquo;&eacute;tend jusqu&rsquo;aux cas de langues &laquo;&nbsp;dormantes&nbsp;&raquo; (sleeping languages dans la litt&eacute;rature en anglais). Ces diff&eacute;rentes situations partagent des caract&eacute;ristiques sp&eacute;cifiques. Ces langues ne sont plus des m&eacute;dias de communication usuelle, mais il existe pourtant une volont&eacute; de transmission et d&rsquo;apprentissage, qui se heurte au poids des mod&egrave;les d&rsquo;enseignement dominants. Ceux-ci prennent peu en compte la dimension affective et identitaire, essentielle, motivant les apprenants et les enseignants, dimension doubl&eacute;e parfois d&rsquo;un sentiment de devoir envers leur communaut&eacute;, l&rsquo;objectif de la transmission &eacute;tant de &laquo;&nbsp;sauver la langue&nbsp;&raquo; (Hinton, 2010). Les m&eacute;thodes et objectifs des mod&egrave;les d&rsquo;enseignement de langues se r&eacute;v&egrave;lent &eacute;galement peu appropri&eacute;s aux situations d&rsquo;enseignement de langues tr&egrave;s menac&eacute;es. Dans des contextes o&ugrave; il n&rsquo;existe pas (ou tr&egrave;s peu) de marchandisation possible des comp&eacute;tences langagi&egrave;res, les approches communicatives et actionnelles se justifient-elles quand la langue n&rsquo;est pratiquement plus parl&eacute;e et que les seuls &eacute;changes possibles se tiennent syst&eacute;matiquement entre personnes partageant une m&ecirc;me langue premi&egrave;re&nbsp;? Parler la langue devient alors un objectif en soi, la fonction symbolique primant sur la fonction communicative, caract&eacute;ristique typique des situations de dynamiques postvernaculaires (Pivot, 2014).
