Approaching the function of a Lipid transfer protein and various miRNAs in the formation of the Arabidopsis root periderm

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

ENG- This thesis aims to explore the two knowledge gaps exposed above. First, we identified a gene that codes for an LTP, which was overexpressed in phellem and other suberized structures of different plant species. To characterize this LTP we analysed Arabidopsis mutants deficient in this gene. The root suberized tissues of these mutants showed a high and specific reduction of alkyl caffeates in suberin-associated waxes indicating that the LTP is required to deposit these compounds in the su-berized root tissues. We also observed a slight but increased permeability of the mutant seeds, in agreement with defects in their outer suberized seed coat. Unexpectedly, these mutant plants showed a variable but sometimes higher resistance to Ralstonia solanacearum, a pathogen that ini-tially colonizes the root. Although unexpected, this interesting result might indicate some metabolic rerouting and needs further assessment. Overall, while further research is needed, these results high-light the relationship between LTP and suberized tissues. Second, we identified the most relevant miRNA by comparing the miRNA expression profile of Quer-cus spp. barks exhibiting different kinds of periderm. Specifically, we classified them in cork-type barks and rhytidome-type barks, the former showing a thick and unique periderm consisting of sev-eral layers, and the latter showing several thin periderms mixed with other tissues. We selected a subset of miRNAs upregulated in cork-type barks and we identified their Arabidopsis orthologues. The promoters of some of these miRNAs were active in Arabidopsis root periderm. To uncover the molecular role of these miRNAs, we generated Arabidopsis plants specifically engineered to se-quester and block the activity of selected miRNAs in tissues involved in periderm formation or in the periderm itself. Some developmental defects were observed, particularly when secondary growth was stimulated by phytohormones. However, the results showed variability, and the effects were relatively modest. In summary, these results provide a set of candidate miRNAs for periderm for-mation and set the basis for the systematic characterization of miRNAs in the Arabidopsis root peri-derm

Empirical Approaches to Motor Stability Problems

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Combustion stability remains a technical issue in some solid rocket motor development programs because techniques to characterize propellant and motor during a development program either do not exist or are inadequate. Moreover, the situation will remain uncertain until one or more stability related diagnostics that are routine, inexpensive, introduce no risk, and 'industrial strength' are qualified and accepted by the Department of Defense (DoD) and commercial customers. This paper describes an empirical diagnostic technique--passive motor diagnostics--with this potential and illustrates some of its characteristics. This methodology will provide customers with a level of confidence, after early development firing, that does not exist today.
Paradigms of Peripheral Modernity in Lorca and Yeats

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The aim of this essay is to explore the similarities between the work of W B. Yeats and Federico Garcia Lorca, with particular reference to their fascination with the supernatural, nurtured by their attachment to the land. The ghost functions in their work as a site of post-colonial defiance undermining the economy of the visible and the discourse of the real, and the cultural archive of folk and fairy tales plays an intrinsic though elusive role in that artistic process. Indeed, the incantation of rhyme is used in both Yeats's and Lorca's work as a conduit leading back to the 'Gaelic/gypsy' imaginary.

Specificity of an amino acid‐sensitive cell in the adult Colorado beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

ABSTRACT. A single sensillum on each galea of adult Colorado beetles contains a cell which is highly sensitive to amino acids. The cell has a marked specificity for L‐alanine and γ‐amino butyric acid (GABA); other amino acids tested were at least 10 times less effective as stimulants. From a structure‐activity study, using compounds with longer and shorter carbon chains than GABA and longer chains than L‐alanine, it is apparent that the receptor is very sensitive to minor changes in these two stimulating molecules. It is argued that the receptor evolved in a form sensitive to L‐alanine, and that GABA is effective because it can bend into a configuration which mimics L‐alanine in terms of important active sites for the receptor system. This specific receptor for an important class of phagostimulants provides an opportunity for future studies in comparative receptor physiology.
Conceptualizing the place of redundant steelworkers in the class structure

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This chapter arises from the attempt to understand the labour market experience of a sample of steelworkers made redundant from the British Steel Corporation's Abbey Works at Port Talbot. The behaviour of redundant workers has to be understood not only in terms of their previous employment and labour market histories, but in terms of the redundancy process itself, which the investigator is rarely there to observe. Employment at the Abbey works reached its peak in 1969 when it employed just under 18,000 workers. Most of the redundants had little experience of the external labour market because they had been existing in a large internal market. There are a number of empirical grounds for attaching considerable importance to social location as a determinant of labour market experience. Networks of relationships are the origin, and their structuration the expression, of the existence of identity groups according to whose normative standards reputation may be judged.
Integrating POI-Driven Functional Attractiveness into Cellular Automata for Urban Spatial Modeling: Case Study of Yan’an, China

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Urban growth models often prioritize environmental and accessibility factors while underestimating behavioral and functional dynamics. This study develops a POI-enhanced Cellular Automata (CA) framework to simulate urban expansion by incorporating three semantic indicators derived from Point-of-Interest (POI) data—density (PD), diversity (PDI), and functional centrality (FC). Taking Yan’an, China, as a case, the model integrates these indicators with terrain and infrastructure variables via logistic regression to estimate land-use transition probabilities. To ensure robustness, spatial block cross-validation was adopted to reduce spatial autocorrelation bias. Results show that the POI-based model outperforms the baseline in both Kappa and Figure of Merit metrics. High-density and mixed-function POI zones correspond with compact infill growth, while high-centrality zones predict decentralized expansion beyond administrative cores. These findings highlight how functional semantics sharpen spatial prediction and uncover latent behavioral demand. Policy implications include using POI-informed maps for adaptive zoning, ecological buffer protection, and growth hotspot management. The study contributes a transferable workflow for embedding behavioral logic into spatial simulation. However, limitations remain: the model relies on static POI data, omits vertical (3D) development, and lacks direct comparison with alternative models like Random Forest or SVM. Future research could explore dynamic POI trajectories, integrate 3D building forms, or adopt agent-based modeling for richer institutional representation. Overall, the approach enhances both the accuracy and interpretability of urban growth modeling, providing a flexible tool for planning in functionally evolving and ecologically constrained cities.
Protocol for a population-based molecular epidemiology study of tuberculosis transmission in a high HIV-burden setting: the Botswana Kopanyo study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is transmitted from person to person via airborne droplet nuclei. At the community level, Mtb transmission depends on the exposure venue, infectiousness of the tuberculosis (TB) index case and the susceptibility of the index case's social network. People living with HIV infection are at high risk of TB, yet the factors associated with TB transmission within communities with high rates of TB and HIV are largely undocumented. The primary aim of the Kopanyo study is to better understand the demographic, clinical, social and geospatial factors associated with TB and multidrug-resistant TB transmission in 2 communities in Botswana, a country where 60% of all patients with TB are also infected with HIV. This manuscript describes the methods used in the Kopanyo study. Methods and analysis The study will be conducted in greater Gaborone, which has high rates of HIV and a mobile population; and in Ghanzi, a rural community with lower prevalence of HIV infection and home to the native San population. Kopanyo aims to enrol all persons diagnosed with TB during a 4-year study period. From each participant, sputum will be cultured, and for all Mtb isolates, molecular genotyping (24-locus mycobacterial interspersed repetitive units-variable number of tandem repeats) will be performed. Patients with matching genotype results will be considered members of a genotype cluster, a proxy for recent transmission. Demographic, behavioural, clinical and social information will be collected by interview. Participant residence, work place, healthcare facilities visited and social gathering venues will be geocoded. We will assess relationships between these factors and cluster involvement to better plan interventions for reducing TB transmission. Ethics Ethical approval from the Independent Review Boards at the University of Pennsylvania, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Botswana Ministry of Health and University of Botswana has been obtained.
An Assessment of Labour Productivity Influencing Factors in the Construction Industry: A Case study of Zaria, Nigeria

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this research, factors affecting construction labour productivity in Zaria, Kaduna state was assessed. The research seeks to identify the factors affecting labour productivity in the research area. It is believed that this information will aid site managers and the construction professionals on decisions to take in-order to limit these controlling factors thereby leading to an improved level of efficiency in labour force, increase product labour productivity and reduce cost and time over runs on construction projects. The research adopted a quantitative research approach with the use of questionnaires as an instrument for data collection from site managers at construction sites in Zaria. Sixty-seven questionnaires were administered on construction sites within Zaria and Forty-one were returned giving a sixty-one percent response. The Questionnaire sought to assess the perception of site managers on factors affecting construction labour productivity. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics analysis to obtain frequencies, mean and Relative Importance Index (RII). RII was used to rank the factors. Thirty-Nine out of the Forty-One factors researched indicated high severity with the RII ranging between 0.60 RII < 0.80. The research revealed that external forces tend to affect construction labour productivity more than Site factors and Human Labour Factors. This can be attributed to the fact that site factors and Human Labour factors can be controlled by the site engineers while the external factors cannot be really controlled by the site engineers. The survey also revealed that Rain, Conflict with project stakeholders, Skill of labour, and Financial Crisis had a very high severity in affecting construction labour productivity on the construction sites in Zaria, Kaduna State.
Analysis of the Main Corporate Social Responsibility Drivers and Barriers and Their Foreseeable Evolution—Evidence from Two Leading Multinationals: The Airbus and TASL Cases

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

This article undertakes a comparative analysis of the corporate social responsibility (CSR) drivers and barriers in the European multinational Airbus and the Indian Tata Advanced Systems Ltd. (TASL), both in their current, as-is state, and in the desirable future, should-be state. These in-depth case studies are based on structured interviews, complemented with a survey. The research findings provide qualified, bounded support to the currently preponderant view among CSR scholars, regarding both the preeminent role of the internal (vs. external) drivers and the key importance of moral-driven (vs. profit-driven) drivers such as the values of the top management. The caveat here reflects that, contingent on cultural issues, individual companies might not have reached this state yet. Furthermore, these findings suggest that the current CSR situation could be characterized as contingent, transitional and convergent; the practical implications for the various CSR stakeholders of this characterization are discussed. The most salient trait, convergence, suggests the existence of a certain commonality in CSR’s foreseeable evolutionary path, even among disparate companies, converging on such aspects as the ever-increasing role of the value system and of the shared, internalized company culture, and the shift of CSR’s role from obligation to potential source of competitive advantage.
Response of Dipterocarp Seedling to Various Light Conditions under Forest Canopies

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Summary : This paper deals with the response of six dipterocarp species to various lighting conditions under forest canopies. Under the heavily shaded condition at 1.8% of full sunlight, the survival rates of Shorea almon, S. polysperma and Parashorea malaa­ nonan seedlings were about 10-35%, within a few months of planting. However, the seedlings of Hopea foxworthyi and Vatica mangachapoi had high survival rates of 85.0% and 97.5% respectively at the same light intensity. The rate of Anisoptera thurifera was 65.0%. At 11.7% and 18.9% of full sunlight, all species tested in the experiments showed significantly high rates of survival. In full sunlight condition, about 20-50% of. S. po­ lysperma, H. {oxworthyi and V. mangachapoi seedlings were damaged, probably due to the strong desiccation and high temperature during the dry season. The maximum growth in height, diameter and dry matter weight for all species was attained in full sunlight. The growth rate slowed with the decrease in light intensity. The degree of reduction in weight increment for most species tested under moderately shaded conditions of 18.9% and 11.7% of full sunlight, however, was smaller than that of the light intensity itself. Under heavily shaded conditions of 4.8% and 1.8%, this relationship was reversed. Among the species tested, the seedlings of S. almon, S. polysperma, P. malaanonan and A. thurifera grew vigorously under bright conditions and those of V. mangachapoi and H. foxworthyi grew relatively slower than the former group even at the high light intensity. On the other hand, the degree of changes in the growth under various light conditions were generally larger in the group of S. almon, S. polysperma, P. malaanonan and A. t/lurifera than in the group of V. mangachapoi and H. foxworthyi.
Requirement for BSF-1 in the induction of antigen-specific B cell proliferation by a thymus-dependent antigen and carrier-reactive T cell line.

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Abstract We report here a role of B cell stimulatory factor 1 (BSF-1) in the induction of antigen-specific proliferation of affinity-purified small B lymphocytes by a thymus-dependent antigen and a carrier-reactive T cell line. By using an ovalbumin-reactive T cell line (designated Hen-1), which does not produce BSF-1 following activation, it was possible to demonstrate that the antigen-specific proliferative response of trinitrophenyl (TNP)-binding B cells to TNP-ovalbumin required exogenous BSF-1 in addition to direct interaction with irradiated Hen-1 T cells. The activation obtained under these conditions was highly efficient, being sensitive to antigen doses as low as 0.001 microgram/ml. The addition of saturating amounts of BSF-1 did not alter the antigen-specificity or the requirements for hapten-carrier linkage or major histocompatibility complex-restricted T-B interaction in this system. The involvement of BSF-1 was confirmed by the ability of 11B11 anti-BSF-1 antibody to specifically suppress the response of TNP-binding B cells to TNP-ovalbumin, BSF-1, and irradiated Hen-1 T cells. Finally, this response was augmented by addition of the monokine interleukin 1. These data indicate that the proliferative response of small B cells to the thymus-dependent antigen and carrier-reactive T cell line used in our experiments can be regulated by the same factors that govern B cell proliferation induced by thymus-independent type 2 antigens or anti-IgM antibodies.
Circulating vaspin and IL-6 concentrations in second trimester pregnancy with gestational diabetes

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective: This study aims to compare serum vaspin and IL-6 concentrations between pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and normal glucose tolerance (NGT), as well as with non-pregnant healthy subjects (NC). Materials and Methods: A total of 85 women were included into this study. These patients were divided into groups: GDM group (n=30), patients who had GDM, NGT group, (n=28), pregnant women with normal oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) values, NC group (n=27), and non-pregnant controls. Vaspin and IL-6 concentrations were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: Serum vaspin levels did not differ between women with GDM (5.1 ± 2.36 ng/ml) and NGT (5.43 ± 1.88 ng/ml), but were significantly higher than those in the NC group (2.03 ± 2.34 ng/ml, p < 0.01). Circulating vaspin did not significantly correlate with markers of adiposity (BMI) and insulin resistance (fasting plasma glucose, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance) in the GDM and NGT groups. However, vaspin was positively correlated to total cholesterol and triglycerides in these two groups, and was significantly negatively correlated with serum IL-6 levels in the GDM group. Conclusions: Serum vaspin concentrations were elevated in pregnant women irrespective of the status of their glucose tolerance. Vaspin may be a marker of lipid metabolism, and may be affected by proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 during pregnancy.
