Multilocus analyses reveal little evidence for lineage‐wide adaptive evolution within major clades of soft pines (PinussubgenusStrobus)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract Estimates from molecular data for the fraction of new nonsynonymous mutations that are adaptive vary strongly across plant species. Much of this variation is due to differences in life history strategies as they influence the effective population size ( N e ). Ample variation for these estimates, however, remains even when comparisons are made across species with similar values of N e . An open question thus remains as to why the large disparity for estimates of adaptive evolution exists among plant species. Here, we have estimated the distribution of deleterious fitness effects ( DFE ) and the fraction of adaptive nonsynonymous substitutions (α) for 11 species of soft pines (subgenus S trobus ) using DNA sequence data from 167 orthologous nuclear gene fragments. Most newly arising nonsynonymous mutations were inferred to be so strongly deleterious that they would rarely become fixed. Little evidence for long‐term adaptive evolution was detected, as all 11 estimates for α were not significantly different from zero. Nucleotide diversity at synonymous sites, moreover, was strongly correlated with attributes of the DFE across species, thus illustrating a strong consistency with the expectations from the N early N eutral T heory of molecular evolution. Application of these patterns to genome‐wide expectations for these species, however, was difficult as the loci chosen for the analysis were a biased set of conserved loci, which greatly influenced the estimates of the DFE and α. This implies that genome‐wide parameter estimates will need truly genome‐wide data, so that many of the existing patterns documented previously for forest trees (e.g. little evidence for signature of selection) may need revision.
US – Section 110(5) Copyright Act: United States – Section 110(5) of the US Copyright Act, Recourse to Arbitration under Article 25 of the DSU: Would’ve or Should’ve? Impaired Benefits due to Copyright Infringement

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This dispute between the European Communities and the United States originated when the United States amended its copyright law in a way that nullified and impaired certain benefits promised to the European Communities under the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property (TRIPs). Article 9.1 of TRIPs requires all WTO members to comply with Articles 1 through 21 of the Berne Convention of 1971. Among the provisions of the Berne Convention thus incorporated into the TRIPs Agreement is one that grants to authors of literary and artistic works the exclusive right to authorize “the public communication by loudspeaker or any analogous instrument transmitting, by signs, sounds or images, the broadcast of the work,” and another that grants to authors of dramatic and musical works the exclusive right to authorize “any communication to the public of the performance of these works.” 1
The Mediating Role of Management Functions (Planning, Implementation, and Control) in Influencing the Restoration of Limoto Wetland

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the gap between wetland management functions and the extent of wise use and sustainable harnessing of livelihood opportunities through restoration programs. This study contributes to the comprehension of wetland management functions concerning wetland restoration through the promotion of sustainable livelihoods. Methodology: A cross-sectional research design was adopted. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected using Focus Group Discussions (FGD) and interviews. FGD was conducted with five groups of beneficiaries of livelihood options. Interviews were carried out with seven key informants who were thought to be knowledgeable about the wetland restoration alternative livelihood options. These included local council chairmen from communities near the wetland, village opinion leaders, district natural resources officers, IUCN Representatives, NEMA officials, and the wetland department. Findings: Results showed a positive but insignificant relationship between planning function and restoration activities. Furthermore, results also indicated a negative significant relationship between implementation and restoration activities. Finally, findings revealed that there was a relationship between the control function and restoration activities. It was found out that Wetland restoration is a process that helps to transform the wetland area that has been impacted by human or natural activity into an area that can sustain native habitats. Wetlands cover 6% of global and 13% of Uganda's land cover. Over the past forty-five years, wetlands have lost 30% and 36% of land cover globally and in Uganda respectively. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice, and Policy: Many wetlands, particularly those in rural Uganda are, however, getting degraded through mainly conversion of land use to agriculture, exploitation, and settlements despite the existing resource management regime. The study recommends inclusive management functions to achieve a successful wetland restoration.
Electron structure in modified BaTiO 3 /poly(vinylidene fluoride) nanocomposite with high dielectric property and energy density

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

It's significantly urgent to develop the polymer film capacitor with large energy density and high charge‐discharge efficiency for the applications of portable electronics and power hybrid system. In this study, poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) nanocomposite film incorporated with tetradecylphosphonic acid modified BaTiO 3 was prepared via solution casting to achieve high dielectric property and large energy density. The strong interactions were formed between modifier and polymer segments, which was characterised by X‐ray absorption near edge structure of synchrotron radiation. The decrease of activation energy indicates that the functionalisation of BaTiO 3 weakens the heterogeneous nucleation of nanoparticle. The dielectric constant of 30 vol.% nanocomposite film achieves 50.1 with low loss of 0.02 at 100 Hz, which is attributed to the strong interaction between the phosphonic acid and fluoride atoms of PVDF segments. The energy density of 20 vol.% nanocomposite is 4.4 J/cm 3 with charge‐discharge efficiency of 78% at 120 MV/m due to the large interfacial polarisation. The functionalisation strategy of high‐ k nanofillers enhances the compatibility in polymer nanocomposite, which contributes to the flexible polymer capacitor with large energy density and high charge‐discharge efficiency.
Synthetic studies on nitrogen heterocycles

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Part 1 Treatment of the chlorohydrin (49), of the Reissert compound, 2-acetyl-l-cyano-1,2-dihydroisoquinoline (48) with sodium ethoxide gives 1-ethoxy-3-methylisoquinoline-4-carbaldehyde (50) and highly coloured by-products. A deep purple compound has been isolated from the reaction mixture, and identified as ethyl 2-amino-1-oxo-inden-3-carboxylate (51). This first example of a simple 2-amino-indenone has been synthesised from ethyl homophthalate. Attempts were made to find an alternative synthetic route using indanone and 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane. Several chlorohydrin alkyl ethers, 2-benzoyl-4-chloro-1-cyano-3-ethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (27), and the corresponding 3-methoxy compound (28) were prepared from Reissert compound, 2-benzoyl-1-cyano-1,2-dihydroisoquinoline (2). The stereochemistry of these ethers was investigated. With triethylamine there was a 1,4-elimination of hydrogen chloride to give reactive intermediates (29) and (30), respectively, which were trapped as Diels-Alder adducts (83) and (84) with N-phenylmaleimide. The stereochemistry of these adducts was determined using 1H n. m. r. nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectra. Other Reissert compounds and their derivatives have been studied briefly. Part 2 Oxidation of benzyl N-hydroxycarbamate, PhCH2OCONHOH (55a), with sodium periodate in the presence of cyclopentadiene gave the cycloadduct (87a) of the transient dienophile, benzyl C-nitrosoformate, PhCH2OCONO (56a), and the diene. The cycloadduct (87b) of tert-butyl C-nitrosoformate, ButOCONO (56b) was prepared similarly. Both cycloadducts dissociated reversibly in benzene at 80
Ultrasonography of partial hydatidiform mole.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Partial hydatidiform mole differs from complete mole by its focal distribution, its slower transformation, the presence of an embryo or fetus, and the triploid karyotype. Nineteen pathologically proved cases are presented. Partial mole can be diagnosed by a combination of the following sonographic findings: (a) greatly enlarged placenta relative to the size of the uterine cavity, (b) cystic spaces within the placenta ("molar placenta"), which may not always be present, (c) an amniotic cavity (gestational sac), either empty or containing amorphous fetal echoes, and (d) a well-formed but growth-retarded fetus, either dead or alive.
Third Biannual International Meeting on Microbial Pathogenesis and Host Response

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Abstract : Throughout recorded history microbial pathogens have been a major cause of human disease and mortality. However, with the advent of effective antibiotics it seemed like the war on microbes had been won. Hence, for several decades health-related research shifted to topics like cancer, heart disease, and genetic diseases. While research in microbial pathogenesis slowed, the microbes continued to evolve. Microbial resistance to antibiotics developed faster than new antibiotics could be made available, and the resistance spread throughout the microbial world. The global expansion of food distribution networks increased the rapid dissemination of microbial pathogens. Simultaneously, emerging microbial pathogens filled new ecological niches, such as indwelling medical devices that provide a surface for biofilms and the growing population of patients who are immunocompromised due to primary infections such as HW or due to therapies for chronic diseases. Furthermore, recent discoveries have demonstrated that some diseases (e.g. ulcers and coronary heart disease) previously believed to be caused by a genetic predisposition or environmental conditions are actually caused by or are strongly associated with microbes. Finally, humans have facilitated the development of microbial pathogens as agents of bioterrorism.
THE PHILOSOPHY OF ART AND MUSIC

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Philosophy is the effort to understand what reality is. Even if it studies something definite like music, it remains by definition the effort to understand what music really is : the effort to have music as fully explained, to possess it in such a transparent way that it openly contains all that is necessary for music to be what it is : the full reality of music. As a philosopher I aim at assimilating the « itselfness » of music. I try to become the music in such a way that the music does not become me, but fully remains itself. It seems absurd ! How could the other's reality, in as far as it is the other's, be my reality ? There is only one way to accomplish this : to create it.
Proliferative retinopathy in a patient with diabetes mellitus and idiopathic haemochromatosis.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

We consider semi-global stabilization and output regulation problems via state and measurements feedback for linear plants (both continuous-time and discrete-time) with actuators subject to amplitude and rate saturation. In our approach, the actuator constraints are modelled as an operator and is incorporated in the controller so that the control signal does not overload the actuators. Both the problem formulation and the analysis is done in the functional differential equation framework.
SO(2,3) noncommutative gravity model

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

In this paper the noncommutative gravity is treated as a gauge theory of the noncommutative SO(2,3)* group, while the noncommutativity is canonical. The Seiberg-Witten (SW) map is used to express noncommutative fields in terms of the corresponding commutative fields. The commutative limit of the model is the Einstein-Hilbert action plus the cosmological term and the topological Gauss-Bonnet term. We calculate the second order correction to this model and obtain terms that are zeroth, first, . . . and fourth power of the curvature tensor. Finally, we discuss physical consequences of those correction terms in the limit of big cosmological constant.
Religious Traces on Albert Camus

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

A few of Albert Camus’s commentators were already uncomfortable in calling him an atheist which, according to the general perception, he is. Some of them even challenged the labeling of Camus as an atheist in the anthology of existentialist philosophers. A careful study of Camus’s works as well as of his personal life reveals that such a challenge is not baseless at all. This paper will (1) explore Camus’s commendation of monasticism, which might be unthinkable to many who have read The myth of Sisyphus, and (2) propose that, from the perspective of a religious believer, a refined theological engagement to Camus’s radical criticisms on religious beliefs and values will yield in Camus a new range of religious maturity.
Asylum policy in the European Union

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

principles of the White Paper were not always easy to measure, and the White Paper does not specify how in fact these principles should be measured. For instance, it is hard to give an objective mark with regard to the „openness‟ of an organization, or to say what amount of participation from societal actors in the policy process would be sufficient. A complicating yet also interesting factor was that recently there have been many developments on the field of asylum policy, particularly on the European level. For instance the recently effectuated Treaty of Lisbon has also had implications for the decision making on the field of asylum policy. The results of this research could be useful for the European Union. Ideally the EU would get more power and means to tackle issues regarding asylum, since the European level would be the most appropriate and effective level on this policy field. However first it would be better if the EU improves their own governance practices, particularly on the field of accountability. Across the EU this is a sensitive political subject. Hopefully these political obstacles can be overcome to come to a better European asylum policy in the future.
Predicting piezometric levels in steep slopes

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Three methods of predicting piezometric levels in steep slopes are presented and illustrated for a case history in Hong Kong. Statistical correlation of levels with various measures of rainfall showed some promise as a method, but poor choice of an objective function biased the models away from the events of most importance. A groundwater flow model of a cross section through the slopes had too coarse a discretization to be accurate enough, but helped develop an understanding of the slopes' hydrogeology. Empirical methods based on classifying piezometers and extrapolating and regionalising storm and seasonal responses were finally adopted.
Globally Responsible Leadership: When East Meets West

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Using qualitative data collected from interviews and focus groups of senior leaders from five global companies operating in Europe, Asia, South America and Africa, this study makes two important contributions to the theory of globally responsible leadership. First, it depicts a framework of catalysts and drivers for sustainability for use by responsible leaders. Second, it develops a framework of globally responsible leadership that covers eight components of responsible leadership. These frameworks will benefit both scholars and practitioners in the fields of leadership and sustainability.
Ultrasound Diagnosed Fetal Hydranencephaly in the Prenatal Period

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Hydranencephaly is a rare congenital encephalopathy characterized by a near complete absence of the cerebral cortical mantle and basal ganglia, with consequent replacement by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Although hydranencephaly is an extremely rare congenital entity with an incidence <1/10,000 live births, there are no known gender or racial predilections. However, polyhydramnios is a recognized association. Brain infarction from bilateral internal carotid artery occlusion, fetal hypoxia, leukomalacia, and congenital infections have all been implicated as possible etiologies for this rare entity. Ultrasonography can be used for prenatal diagnosis of fetal hydranencephaly, assessment for possible associations, and to exclude the common differential diagnoses. The objective of this report is to present an extremely rare congenital encephalopathy diagnosed in utero in a pregnant patient at the third trimester using ultrasonography, to review pertinent literature about this condition, and to highlight the role of ultrasonography in making a diagnosis of hydranencephaly while excluding common differential diagnoses. This was a case of hydranencephaly diagnosed at the third trimester of gestation, precisely at 36 weeks (with a discrepancy in the sonographically estimated average fetal gestational age which was about 33 weeks) at the time of diagnosis in a Nigerian tertiary health facility. Sonography revealed a disproportionately large fetal cranium relative to other fetal parts, the absence of a large proportion of the cerebral cortical mantle, and its replacement with anechoic CSF. The falx cerebri was preserved. Hydranencephaly is a rare congenital entity. Its diagnosis can be unraveled in the prenatal period with the use of ultrasonography particularly in resource-poor centers in sub-Saharan Africa where advanced imaging modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging are not readily available.
Surgical management of simple Vesicovaginal fistulae

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective: Vesicovaginal fistula is a fairly common occurrence in our country because of poor availability of obstetric care. The purpose of this study is to review our results in the surgical management of VVF.Design: Prospective study. Place and duration of the study: The study was conducted in the department of urology, Federal Government Services Hospital (F.G.S.H.); Islamabad, from February 2002 to January 2004. Patients and Methods: Eleven patients were operated for vesicovaginal fistulae. Transvaginal repair was done in 8 (72.7%) patients while transabdominal repair was adopted in 3 (27.3%) patients only. Inclusion criteria: All patients presented with vesicovaginal fistulae only. Exclusion criteria: All patients presented with genitourinary fistulae other than VVFs. Results: The majority of fistulae (10 (90.9%)) were caused by ischaemic necrosis of bladder and vaginal walls resulting from obstructed labour. One (9.1x) patient developed VVF after hysterectomy due to some gynaecological problem. Surgical repair proved to be successful through transabdominal route in all 3 (100%) cases of VVFs while in 6 (75x) of 8 (100%) cases through transvaginal route. To describe an overall result, 9 (81.8%) vesicovaginal fistulae were successfully repaired at first attempt. Conclusion: Vesicovaginal fistulae can be best managed following basic surgical principles like adequate exposure, identification of structures, wide mobilization, tension free closure, good haemostasis and uninterrupted bladder drainage.
A COMPARISON OF THE EFFICACY OF WATER FLOSSER TO INTERDENTAL FLOSS AROUND DENTAL IMPLANTS: A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL AND A QUALITATIVE STUDY OF PATIENTS' PERCEPTIONS

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

AIM The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a water flosser device compared to flossing around implants in several clinical parameters and to investigate patients’ perceptions and experiences of implant maintenance. METHODS This study comprised an initial quantitative study and follow-up qualitative study. Patients were randomly divided in two groups, group 1 (experiment) with water flosser and group 2 (control) with dental floss. At each appointment five clinical parameters were recorded: Full Mouth Plaque Score (FMPS), Quigley-Hein plaque index (QHI), Probing Depth (PD), Bleeding on Probing (BOP) and width of Keratinized Tissue (KT) around implants. Patients were then interviewed to investigate perceptions of implant care and maintenance. RESULTS Twenty-four patients with a total of 76 implants completed at least one follow-up appointment. No statistically significant differences were found for any of the investigated parameters. The qualitative data collected with the interviews were reorganized into main themes: implant versus natural tooth care routines and the ‘impact’ of the study intervention. CONCLUSIONS Based on this study, dental floss and water flosser are equally effective in maintaining peri-implant health. The majority of the patients in water flosser group were in favour of this device and willing to continue using it. Longer term follow-up with a larger sample size could help to demonstrate impact in oral hygiene behaviour and clinical outcomes.
Cliffor Manifold Learning Using Neighbor Graphs

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

In the manifold learning problem one seeks to discover a smooth low dimensional surface, i. e., a manifold embedded in a higher dimensional linear vector space, based on a set of sample points on the surface. In this paper we consider the Clifford manifold theory for investigating the Multispectral image sample points. We introduced a geometric method to obtain asymptotically consistent estimates of Clifford manifold dimension. In this paper we present a simpler method based on the neighbor graph in the Clifford manifold. The algorithm is applied to standard synthetic Clifford manifolds as well as data sets consisting of Multispectral images.
