Study on antimicrobial action and bacteriostatic mechanism of the marine microbial lysozyme

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Antimicrobial action of marine microbial lysozyme (MML) on some Gram-negative bacteria, Gram-positive bacteria and fungi were studied experimentally. The results showed that MML had various degrees of inhibitory or killing effects upon the tested strains, especially high activity on the clinical isolation and pathogenic germs in breed. MML influenced on the growth and metabolization of tested strains and the inhibition occured at the beginning of the exponential phase of growth. Observation under transmission electron microscope revealed that MML had different effects on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureaus. Maybe the bacteriostatic mechanisms of MML acting on E. coli and S. aureaus were different mainly due to their different structures of cell wall.
Entre la casa y la calle: Latinx childhood re-memories of space and place

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This article challenges previous deficit narratives on Latinx communities by centering childhood re-memories of Latinxs and complicating our understanding of their childhood experiences in historically disinvested communities. Drawing on in-depth interviews and fieldnotes, we examined how Latinx participants recounted the impact that everyday racism, violence, patriarchy, and gentrification had on their childhoods, their neighborhoods, and their families. Although their re-memories were at least a decade old, they vividly remembered ambivalent and contradictory re-memories entre la casa y la calle. Through these re-memories, Latinx participants mapped the competing systems that shaped their experiences and how they impacted their communities. We conclude this article by exploring the resistance strategies that Latinxs deployed to negotiate these spatialities and their place in them.
Numerical analysis of different diffuser and vent numbers in a commercial display cabinet with air curtain for different environmental velocities

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Air curtains are especially used in stores and retailer supermarkets as barrier systems to separate and outer spaces from each other. For both air quality and energy saving, it is crucial that the air transfer these two spaces are at minimum. A numerical study of a commercial display cabinet has been carried out. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of environment air velocities on cooling effectiveness for different inlet and outlet configurations. A parametric study was performed for one, two and three jet systems at different outside velocities. It was observed, that at almost all outside velocities, except U0=0.7 m/s, the three inlet jet configuration is the best system in the cooling of goods, and ensures the food codex. The one and two jet configurations are only reliable for the outside velocity of 0.1 m/s.
Characterization and Implementation of Radar System Applications on a Reconfigurable Dataflow Architecture

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The fast developed and widely used radar system techniques call for novel solutions on hardware design. Under a massive data source and the real-time requirements in radar signal processing scenarios (e.g., Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)), reconfigurable dataflow architecture is considered as a promising solution. In this article, we first extract the typical algorithms in radar systems and characterize their dataflow manners. Then a reconfigurable dataflow architecture is proposed, with high width SIMD extended PE. The application implementations with mapping strategy and workflow are shown to reach high hardware utilization and efficient data supply. Our work achieves $8 \times$ and $5.3\times$ energy efficiency improvement over DSP and GPU (NVIDIA Tesla V100), respectively, on large scale FFT, as well as high performance. Under actual scene of $8K \times 8K$ SAR imaging baseline, it gets $9.4 \times$ speedup over a six-core CPU.
Productivity, quality and comfort of Siro spun wool-cotton khadi fabrics

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The productivity, quality and comfort aspects of Siro spun wool-cotton blended Khadi fabrics are reported in this experimental research. The technology of Siro spun yarn is also successfully introduced in New Modal (NM) Charkha for producing woolen Khadi Siro yarn. This system produces suitable two strands yarn of wool with higher productivity than conventional NM charkha. The yarns of Australian Merino (AM) and JK crossbred (JKC) wool mixes in different proportions using modified Siro Charkha were prepared. The fabrics were woven using AM-JKC mixed Siro spun yarn as a weft and wool-cotton blended spun yarn as a warp by using the Handloom weaving machine. The physical, low-stress mechanical and comfort properties of wool-cotton Siro fabrics were studied. Siro spun yarn of AM: JKC (75:25) was bulkier, more even with lower imperfections and hairiness. The tenacity and elongation of Siro spun yarns have an increasing trend with the increasing proportion of Australian Merino wool in the wool-mix. The thickness before and after the steam press of fabrics has significant difference. The blending of cotton with wool in the fabric significantly reduced the relaxation shrinkage in the warp direction, which in turn produced the more dimensionally stable fabric. The comfort in terms of thermal and air-permeability properties significantly affected with fibre composition in warp and weft yarns.

More specifically, with the exception of those who demonstrated a high degree of green logistics knowledge, green logistics awareness level and other dimensions were low. In addition, educational background demonstrated an influence on green logistics awareness. The findings from this study have real-world implications for the development of state logistics environmental protection policy.
Faculty Opinions recommendation of Transcriptional programs of circuit assembly in the drosophila visual system.

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Precise patterns of synaptic connections between neurons are encoded in their genetic programs. Here, we use single-cell RNA sequencing to profile neuronal transcriptomes at multiple stages in the developing Drosophila visual system. We devise an efficient strategy for profiling neurons at multiple time points in a single pool, thereby minimizing batch effects and maximizing the reliability of time-course data. A transcriptional atlas spanning multiple stages is generated, including more than 150 distinct neuronal populations; of these, 88 are followed through synaptogenesis. This analysis reveals a common (pan-neuronal) program unfolding in highly coordinated fashion in all neurons, including genes encoding proteins comprising the core synaptic machinery and membrane excitability. This program is overlaid by cell-type-specific programs with diverse cell recognition molecules expressed in different combinations and at different times. We propose that a pan-neuronal program endows neurons with the competence to form synapses and that cell-type-specific programs control synaptic specificity.Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc.

Evaluation of the Vertical Movement of Ribeiro’s Dermolipoglandular Mammary Flap One Year After Mammaplasties in Post-Bariatric Patients

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background In 1971, Ribeiro isolated a segment in the inferior pole of the ptotic breast, nourished by muscular perforating vessels, and moved it cranially to the posterior region of the remaining detached breast tissue, where it was fixed to the pectoral fascia. This maneuver created a flap with autologous implant function, independent from the rest of the breast’s support, that maintained long-term mammary projection. Objectives The objectives of this study were to measure the vertical movement of this flap 1 year after mammaplasty and to evaluate the factors involved. Methods The sample included 13 patients who had previously undergone bariatric surgery. The position of a titanium marker attached to the Ribeiro flap was compared on chest radiographs taken 1 day and 1 year after the mammaplasty. The significance level was set at 5%. Results All of the titanium markers moved 0.6 cm to 4.1 cm caudally during the study period (average, 2.4 cm ± 1.02 cm). The greater the weight loss after the plastic surgery, the further the marker’s descent. Weight loss between bariatric surgery and plastic surgery, the vertical dimension of the ptotic breast tissue immediately before plastic surgery, the vertical extent of the nipple-areola complex elevation during mammaplasty, the Ribeiro flap thickness and volume, and the breast volume after mammaplasty were not associated with the vertical movement of the flap. Conclusions The Ribeiro flap employed in mammaplasty of patients who previously underwent bariatric surgery undergoes ptosis that is exacerbated by weight loss after mammaplasty. Level of Evidence: 4
The Dehydratase ADT3 Affects ROS Homeostasis and Cotyledon Development

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

During the transition from seed to seedling, emerging embryos strategically balance available resources between building up defenses against environmental threats and initiating the developmental program that promotes the switch to autotrophy. We present evidence of a critical role for the phenylalanine (Phe) biosynthetic activity of AROGENATE DEHYDRATASE3 (ADT3) in coordinating reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis and cotyledon development in etiolated Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) seedlings. We show that ADT3 is expressed in the cotyledon and shoot apical meristem, mainly in the cytosol, and that the epidermis of adt3 cotyledons contains higher levels of ROS Genome-wide proteomics of the adt3 mutant revealed a general down-regulation of plastidic proteins and ROS-scavenging enzymes, corroborating the hypothesis that the ADT3 supply of Phe is required to control ROS concentration and distribution to protect cellular components. In addition, loss of ADT3 disrupts cotyledon epidermal patterning by affecting the number and expansion of pavement cells and stomata cell fate specification; we also observed severe alterations in mesophyll cells, which lack oil bodies and normal plastids. Interestingly, up-regulation of the pathway leading to cuticle production is accompanied by an abnormal cuticle structure and/or deposition in the adt3 mutant. Such impairment results in an increase in cell permeability and provides a link to understand the cell defects in the adt3 cotyledon epidermis. We suggest an additional role of Phe in supplying nutrients to the young seedling.
A 60-GHz optoelectronic mixing scheme of high image and carrier rejection ratios with an integrated optical single-sideband modulator employed

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

We report on the first implementation and performance investigation of a 60-GHz-band optoelectronic image rejection mixing scheme based on a broad-band integrated optical single-sideband modulator. We have confirmed a few advantageous features over electrical image rejection mixers, arising from its nature of being free from electrical phase control of millimeter-wave signals. We obtained at the IF frequency of 800 MHz rejection ratios of >40 dB for the image signal and of >20 dB for the local oscillator (LO) signal in the LO frequency range of 55-65 GHz. The LO bandwidth can be extended further. The IF bandwidth with an image rejection ratio of >20 dB was also confirmed to be as broad as 550 MHz, which is limited not by the configuration but by the bandwidth of the 90/spl deg/ hybrid used in this experiment. Furthermore, fiber-optic transmission of a 155.52-Mb/s-DPSK 59.8-GHz optical millimeter-wave signal was successfully demonstrated for a 20-km standard single-mode fiber. A bit error rate of <10/sup -9/ was achieved at the received optical power of -18 dBm with a negligible dispersion penalty.

How the influencing factors, such as dosage of the modifier used exert on the performance was thus analyzed. The optimal dosage of the modifier should be 4% or more. The technical specifications of SBS-modified asphalt available to road construction in Liaoning province is proposed as a reference for engineering applications.
[Skin biopsy and quantitative sensory testing can contribute to small fibre neuropathy diagnostics].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Nerve conduction studies are normal in small fibre neuropathy and special methods such as skin biopsies or quantitative sensory testing are required for diagnosis. In skin biopsies, nerve fibres are stained immunohistochemically and loss of distal nerve endings can be quantified directly. Assessment of thermal detection thresholds is used to evaluate the function of the sensory thermal pathways, but cannot discriminate between central and peripheral lesions. Small fibre neuropathy is often associated with potentially treatable diseases, and treatment of neuropathic pain may be required.
An Analysis of Symbols Object in the Serarang Ritual in Melanau Community

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The Serarang ritual is an annual ritual that must be performed by the Melanau Likow community in preparation for the new year. Tama Kaul is the main leader in the implementation of this ritual with the use of symbols in the form of objects. Each object used contains a specific meaning, interpreted and agreed upon by its practicing community. The local wisdom possessed by this community of practitioners is inherited from one generation to another. Till this day, the practicing community still clings to the beliefs they inherited even although some of them have converted from their original religion. Therefore, this study aims to analyse the meaning of object symbols in the implementation of Serarang rituals. This study used an ethnographic approach through participatory observation, recording and photographic methods as well as a series of interviews with Tama Kaul and the ritual practitioners. The study location was located in Kampung Medong, Dalat Sarawak. Data analysis found that there were five object ritual symbols used to accompany the Serarang ritual namely kubo beliseng, beliseng, dian, the blood of rooster's feet and percak cloth. Among the meanings of symbols supported by these object symbols are the meanings of respect, purity, prayer and hope, peace between the two worlds and love. The results of this study also found that this ritual is still practiced by the Melanau Likow community until this day and becomes the identity of their existence in Sarawak.

DISCONTINUOUS HYDRATION ON THE GERMINATION OF Mimosa caesalpiniifolia AND Pityrocarpa moniliformis SEEDS UNDER WATER STRESS

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

ABSTRACT The use of discontinuous hydration cycles can act in improving seed germination and seedling initial growth under water stress. In this context, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of discontinuous hydration on the germination of Mimosa caesalpiniifolia and Pityrocarpa moniliformis seeds under water stress. For this, seeds of these species were subjected to 0 (without hydration), 2 and 4 hydration cycles (18 h) and dehydration (12 and 18 h, respectively), with subsequent germination under water stress simulated for osmotic potentials of 0.0 (distilled water), -0.2, -0.4, -0.6 and -0.8 MPa. Seedlings were evaluated using tests of germination, germination speed index, mean germination time and seedling length. Discontinuous hydration in M. caesalpiniifolia and P. moniliformis seeds hampers germination and vigor of seedlings under water stress up to -0.6 MPa. However, the use of two cycles in P. moniliformis favors germination under more severe water stress (-0.8 MPa).
Analysis of amino acids network based on transition and transversion mutation of codons

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

In this paper, we have developed a network of 20 amino acids based on a distance matrix of amino acids. This distance matrix is obtained by considering the transition and transversion mutation of codons. We have proposed that the evolutionary pattern of amino acids is reflected throughout this network. We have discussed different measures of centrality: degree centrality, closeness centrality, betweenness centrality and eigenvector centrality, concerning this network and investigated the comparative impact of the amino acids. We have also explored the correlation coefficients between the different centrality measures checking the assortativity of the network. Further, we have explored three network parameters: namely clustering coefficient, degree of distribution and skewness.

Unraveling the ecological footprint of textile dyes: A growing environmental concern

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

<p>The textile industry, being a giant consumer of water and chemicals, uses synthetic dyes on a wide scale because of their low cost and wide color gamut. In contrast, synthetic dyes have shown great environmental hazards. A notable feature of textile dyes is their resistance to biodegradation, which contributes to long-lasting pollution in water, soil, and the atmosphere. The water body ecosystems are contaminated with dye-laden wastewater resulting from textile manufacturing. Photosynthetic activity is prevented, hence decreasing oxygen levels in water and drastically affecting aquatic life. Moreover, improper sludge disposal containing dyes leads to the degradation of soil quality, impacting plant health and microbial activities. Such pollutants can exhibit bioaccumulation in organisms, enhancing toxicity via the food chain and presenting serious health risks to humans, including carcinogenic effects and genetic malfunction. The paper reviews new developments related to ecologically friendly dyes, advanced wastewater treatments, and circular economies involving dye recycling and waterless dyeing techniques that are key to reducing the environmental impact of these dyes. Also needed is rigid enforcement of regulations coupled with the wider diffusion of sustainable technologies to minimize environmental damage in the textile industry and protect natural ecosystems and human health.<strong></strong></p>
Low temperature pulse radiolysis of concentrated aqueous solutions. Evidence for trap-to-trap tunnelling in 50/50 v/v ethylene glycol + water and 10 mol dm–3 OH– aqueous solutions

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Reactions of e–t with several solutes have been investigated over a wide range of temperature in 50/50 v/v ethylene glycol + water (EG + H2O) and 10 mol dm–3 OH– aqueous solutions.In the fluid media the reactions are generally diffusion controlled, and values of the encounter radius, r, between e–t and solute have been estimated by applying the theory of time-dependent rate constants to the kinetics.In the rigid media the reaction rate of e–t with solutes is independent of temperature and proportional to log (time). The rate varies from one solute to another, and is faster in 10 mol dm–3 OH– than in EG + H2O. The kinetics are consistent with e–t tunnelling from trap to trap in the matrix and reacting with the solute when it becomes trapped within the encounter radius r. Independent assessments of r from tunnelling kinetics agree well with those obtained from diffusion kinetics.The e–dry capture efficiency of each solute has been estimated from its effect on G(e–t). The efficiencies of H+, Cu2+ and Fe(CN)5NO2– are negligibly small, which is in marked contrast to their high reactivities with e–t.Evidence for long lived encounter pairs of e–t and H+, e–t and Cu2+, and e–t and SeO2–4 at low temperatures is presented.
