Characterization and function of catalytic subunit alpha of H+-translocating adenosine triphosphatase from vacuolar membranes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A study with 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole.

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

Subunit alpha (Mr 89,000) from vacuolar membrane H+-translocating adenosine triphosphatase of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was found to bind 8-azido[alpha-32P]adenosine triphosphate. Labeling by this photosensitive ATP derivative was saturable with an apparent dissociation constant of 10(-6) to 10(-5) M and decreased in the presence of ATP and ADP. The enzyme was inactivated by 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD-Cl), with about 1 microM causing half-maximal inactivation in the neutral pH range. This inactivation was prevented by the presence of ATP, ADP, or adenosyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate (AMP-PNP). The original activity was restored by treating the inactivated enzyme with 2-mercaptoethanol. Kinetic and chemical studies of the inactivation showed that the activity was lost on chemical modification of a single tyrosine residue per molecule of the enzyme. When the enzyme was inactivated with [14C]NBD-Cl, subunit alpha was specifically labeled, and this labeling was completely prevented by the presence of ATP, GTP, ADP, or AMP-PNP. From these results, it was concluded that subunit alpha of yeast vacuolar H+-ATPase has a catalytic site that contains a single, essential tyrosine residue. The kinetics of single site hydrolysis of [gamma-32P]ATP (Grubmeyer, C., Cross, R. L., and Penefsky, H. S. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 12092-12100) indicated the formation of an enzyme-ATP complex and subsequent hydrolysis of bound ATP to ADP and Pi at the NBD-Cl-sensitive catalytic site. NBD-Cl inactivated the single site hydrolysis and inhibited the formation of an enzyme-ATP complex. Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide did not affect the single site hydrolysis, but inhibited the enzyme activity under steady-state conditions.
A Leverage Points Framework To Manage Changes in River Health

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

ABSTRACT River health worldwide has deteriorated throughout the past century due to human activity, jeopardising biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human health. Restoration efforts to curve this decline range from localised in‐channel modifications to river basin‐scale stakeholder engagement aimed to facilitate adaptive management. To address this challenge, it is necessary to view rivers as social‐ecological systems which include a set of feedbacks between human systems and river ecosystems. It is then possible to use a ‘systems thinking’ approach to identify key leverage points to enable widespread improvements to river health. Donella Meadows' leverage points framework categorises interventions based on their potential in achieving transformative change and the feasibility of being able to take action. By applying this framework, we provide insight into how transformative change can be leveraged to support river restoration, with a focus on catchment‐scale dynamics, specifically in the UK. Our analysis reveals a misalignment between active (i.e., in‐situ restoration) and passive (i.e., governance and societal support) restoration due to governance, social design, and the underlying societal values. We propose two scenarios to leverage greater restoration efforts: (i) top‐down governance changes to emphasise the societal value of natural ecosystems, and (ii) bottom‐up initiatives to alter societal values around restoration and influence governance. The latter, by proximising the benefits of reinstating natural processes. However, the clash of simultaneously operating restoration and conservation paradigms was shown to hinder progress, highlighting the need for empirical research to further understand active and passive restoration dynamics. It is essential that these interactions are explored further to leverage effective restoration strategies to improve river health.
Development and Allometry Patterns of Fine Scale Fish Larvae at Low Temperature

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract Ecological experiment was conducted to study the allometry of fine scale fish yolk-sac larvae and its significance in adaptation in early life stage. The results indicated organs such as feeding, breathing and swimming of larvae in the yolk sac stage are rapidly differentiated, and all key organs are allomorphic. In all parts of the body, the head length and tail fin length are growing at an allometric speed, the trunk is growing at a slow speed, and the body height is isokinetic growth; in the head organs, the rostrum length and head length are growing at a positive allometric speed; in the swimming organs, tail fin length is positive allometric growth; yolk sac width and yolk sac height are positive allometry consumption. The fast development of feeding, breathing, swimming and other organs in yolk-sac larvae of fine scale fish, increases larval survival ability at the early stage in the shortest possible time, and there were important ecological significance to adapt the complex and changing external environment.
PULSE WAVE VELOCITY 8.2 M/S AS A THRESHOLD ASSOCIATED WITH CARDIOVASCULAR TARGET ORGAN DAMAGE

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective: Identify from which PWV value, there is a greater possibility of identifying association with the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), increased intima-media thickness (IMT) and presence of carotid plaque in hypertensive patients. Design and method: This is a cross-sectional study of 119 patients. ROC curves were performed for each cardiovascular biomarker. The analyses were performed considering the significance level of 0.05. Results: ROC curves were performed for each cardiovascular biomarker and the PWV values of 8.1m/s for LVH, 8.2m/s for increased IMT and 8.7 for the presence of carotid plaque were found, respectively. The PWV value of 8.2m/s identified the best parameter to find the three TOD outcomes. PWV above 8.2ms was associated with increased IMT (p = 0.004), with the presence of carotid plaque (p = 0.003) and with LVH (p<0.001). PWV above 8.2 showed greater sensitivity for IMT (AUC = 0.678, sensitivity 62.2), LVH (AUC = 0.717, sensitivity 87.2) and presence of plaque (AUC = 0.649, sensitivity 74.51) in the ROC curve. Conclusions: The 8.2m/s value is more sensitive in identifying the existence of cardiovascular biomarkers prematurely.
Six years of industrial logging in Ngoyla (East-Cameroon): what have been the outcomes for local populations?

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The industrial exploitation of Cameroon's forests was, until the late 2000s, credited with little positive impacts on the communities living near logging concessions. In order to evaluate the outcomes of logging for local populations and to inform the sustainable management of Ngoyla-Mintom forest block, socio-economic data was collected from 2011 to 2018. Data from guided interviews, observations and questionnaires reveal that local populations have seen improvements in their living conditions, particularly in terms of formal employment, better housing and increased mobility. The main adverse effects observed were a reduction of some forest resources, an increase in certain diseases, and increased violations of the rights of Indigenous People. Despite identified favorable factors, the positive impacts from industrial logging in Ngoyla are below expectations.

Behavior of Integral Curves of the Quasilinear Second Order Differential Equations

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

This paper deals with certain classes of Cauchy's solutions of quasilinear second order differential equations in general form, Van der Pol's differential equation, which is used in the theory of electric circuits, and Lagerstorm's differential equations, which is used in asymptotic treatment of viscous flow past a solid at low Reynolds number. Behaviour of integral curves in the neighbourhoods of an arbitrary or integral curve is considered. Obtained results establish sufficient conditions for the existence and asymptotic behaviour of the observed equations. The obtained results contain the answer to the question on approximation of solutions whose existence is established. The errors of the approximation are defined by functions that can be sufficiently small. The qualitative analysis theory and topological retraction methods were used.
A novel general kernel-based non-negative matrix factorisation approach for face recognition

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Kernel-based non-negative matrix factorisation (KNMF) is a promising nonlinear approach for image data representation using non-negative features. However, most of the KNMF algorithms are developed via a specific kernel function and thus fail to adopt other kinds of kernels. Also, they have to learn pre-image inaccurately that may influence the reliability of the method. To address these problems of KNMF, this paper proposes a novel general kernel-based non-negative matrix factorisation (GKBNNMF) method. It not only avoids pre-image learning but also is suitable for any kernel functions as well. We assume that the mapped basis images fall within the cone spanned by the mapped training data, allowing us to use arbitrary kernel function in the algorithm. The symmetric NMF strategy is exploited on kernel matrix to establish our general kernel NMF model. The proposed algorithm is proven to be convergent. The facial image datasets are selected to evaluate the performance of our method. Compared with some state-of-the-art approaches, the experimental results demonstrate that our proposed is both effective and robust.
Metallic nanofilms on single crystal silicon: Growth, properties and applications

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

The metal–silicon thin-film system is not isostructural and furthermore exhibits pronounced interdiffusion and chemical reactions. Therefore the growth of metallic films on silicon leads to a nanosize nonhomogenity of films and a high concentration of defects, especially at interface. The material also contains stressed transition layer, which can contain alloys and/or compounds (silicides). We have considered theoretical viewpoints and reviewed experimental data on the growth and properties of metallic nanofilms (including multilayered ones) on silicon, and also provided a brief review of their applications. The films consist either of atomic-sized, quabquantum sized and quantum sized layers. We have suggested a low temperature film growth technology based on freezing growing layers during deposition by maintaining a low temperature of the substrate and using an atomic beam with a reduced heat power. The technology uses a specially shaped deposition system in which the distance between the source and the substrate is comparable to their size or smaller. Furthermore, we use a special time sequence of deposition that provides for a reduced substrate surface temperature due to greater intervals between deposition pulses. This growth method of atomically thin films and multilayered nanofilms excludes interdiffusion between the layers, reduces three-dimensional growth rate and relatively increases lateral layer growth rate.

The Borders of Time, Place, and People in John Sayles's Lone Star

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

John Sayles's Lone Star (1996) is the embodiment of a “frontier” film; he himself has described it as “a story about borders” (West, “An Interview with John Sayles,” 14). The film's genre, its locale, its incorporation of history, ethnicity, generations, and sexual proscriptions, and even its use of pans to cut across time all cohere around this perspective. Nor, as I will indicate, is this concern with borders new to Sayles's art; Lone Star , which taps a number of motifs and conventions familiar to American culture, bringing together a multitude of meanings of boundaries and margins and frontiers, intensifies a theme that exists in every one of his films.
Assessment of governance mechanisms, livelihood outcomes and incentive instruments for green rubber in Myanmar

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Over the past decade, rubber cultivation has expanded throughout the Mekong region, from established centers of production in Thailand, China and Vietnam to new sites in Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia. Rubber has brought opportunities for increased incomes and livelihood improvement as well as social and environmental risks. The 2012 drop in rubber prices has sent the sector into disarray, halting the expansion of rubber and constraining the ability of farmers and companies to profit. This study examines how rubber production in the Lao PDR is governed, especially the soci-ecological dynamics of varying forms of production: smallholding, contract farming and large-scale estate plantations. Based upon an analysis of secondary literature and interviews with key stakeholders, it was found that rubber production in the Lao PDR is for the most part not ‘green,' meaning that it has not reduced poverty and protected ecosystem services and forested areas. The price crash has prevented most smallholding farmers from increasing their income. Wages on large-scale plantations have been low and only a limited amount of work for Lao people is available. Large-scale estates have been developed on land expropriated from communities and have replaced forested areas that provide important ecosystem services to local communities. The paper argues that if rubber is to be truly green, then significant changes to production and trade must be made, including minimum price supports from the state, appropriate land use planning measures, the establishment of cooperatives, the protection of community land rights, and the implementation of agroforestry rubber production models.
Independent living: relation among training, skills, and success.

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Logistic regression was used to examine the effects of independent living training programs on the probability of (a) remaining independent and (b) improving or maintaining skills for 1,498 people with developmental disabilities who were living in their own homes in 1983. The effects of improving or maintaining skills on the probability of remaining independent were also examined. Results showed that by the end of the 7-year study period, individuals who received greater amounts of independent living services and improved or maintained their independent living skills were more likely to still live independently. However, there was no significant relation between receiving such services and the probability of improving or maintaining one's skills. The programmatic implications of this apparently paradoxical finding were discussed.

Ukrainian Civil Society: Past Lessons and Future Possibilities

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

In Ukrainian academia, the last decades have seen growing interest in the concept of civil society, which has been studied from different disciplinary angles. Commentators disagree on the level of development it has reached in Ukraine. They emphasize its absence in Soviet times, and the general lack of organizational initiative in contemporary Ukraine. In this essay, I show that, although these critiques of Ukrainian civil society are crucial for comprehending its historical evolution, the history of Ukrainian civil society can also help us understand how it might evolve in the future, both during and, hopefully after, the current war. In my analysis, I focus on two particular lines. The first is the interaction between civil society and the state, which shifted from an anti-state attitude to a model of partnership. The second, which operates in the background, is how civil society has struggled with different utopian ideas, over the 20th and early 21st centuries. Analyzing this relationship to different utopian ideas helps us understand how the relations between civil society and the state changed over time. I conclude with a question about European challenges.
Exorbitant Responsibility: Geographies of Climate Justice

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Connecting with Climate Change'If climate change makes our country uninhabitable, we will march with our wet feet into your living rooms'.With this impassioned intervention at a 1995 Berlin climate change forum, Bangladeshi representative Atiq Rahman vented his frustration with the stalling of international climate negotiations (cited in Roberts and Parks, 2007: 2).As burgeoning studies around the question of climate migration have since made clear, there is no simple, linear relation between vulnerability to extreme weather and the long distance mobilization of a caring and just response.But that most likely wasn't Rahman's point.One of the great challenges of climate change is that the scientific evidence upon which issue formation depends `cuts against the grain of ordinary human experience' (Jasanoff, 2010: 237).Both its causes and effects seem too widely distributed in space and time for us to grasp palpably, immediately, personally, 'as a global phenomenon, climate change is often not locally observable or easy to reconcile with laypersons' local experiences, making its seriousness sometimes challenging to convey', Grasswick writes (2014: 542).What Rahman seems to be doing, in this regard, is trying to shift the issue of climate change away from planetary modelling and abstract knowledge.He reminds us that those on the sharp edge of climate change are flesh and blood people whose potential suffering ought to be felt closer to home.This is the kind of work that critical human geographers take to be vital and urgent.As we will see, geographers specialize in tracing the complex patterns of interconnectivity
Impact of Left Diaphragmatic Dome Thickening on Selected Cardiovascular Parameters

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Despite the diaphragm&#039;s direct connection with the heart through the phreno-pericardial ligament, little is still known about the role of this primary breathing muscle in the cardiovascular system. The purpose of the present study was to determine the relationship of diaphragm muscle thickness, thickening, and strength with selected cardiovascular parameters. Thirty participants who qualified for a three-week post-COVID physiotherapy program were examined. Diaphragm muscle thickness on the left and right sides was assessed using ultrasound. Blood pressure and heart rate were evaluated by an automatic oscillometric device, while the rest of the cardiovascular parameters were calculated using standardized formulas from the literature. We found a relationship between the left diaphragm dome thickening ratio and systolic blood pressure, pulse pressure, stroke volume, cardiac index, ejection fraction, and saturation level measured after the 6-minute walk test (6-MWT). Patients with better left diaphragm dome strength were characterized by a lower difference in systolic blood pressure, pulse pressure, stroke volume, cardiac output, cardiac power output, ejection fraction, cardiac index, and pressure-heart rate product between pre- and post-6-MWT measurements. There was no correlation between right diaphragm dome function and cardiovascular parameters. There was no association of left and right hemidiaphragm function with resting cardiovascular parameters. In conclusion, the strength of the left hemidiaphragm plays an important role in the regulation and modulation of cardiovascular parameters during physical exertion.
Measuring the Benefits of Homeowning: Effects on Children Redux

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

We find that children of homeowners have better outcomes than children of renters whether their parents make a large or small initial investment in their home, as long as they make a minimal down payment when they buy their homes. Children with parents who made no down payment have similar outcomes to children of renters. The effect of homeownership holds up under myriad specifications, measuring initial housing investment as either an LTV ratio or a down payment dollar amount, and controlling for parent and family characteristics and geographic and year fixed effects.
