Mapping Policy Discourse with CRANES: Spatial Understanding Support Systems as a Medium for Community Conflict Resolution

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

In this paper I will report on the development of a new spatial understanding support system (SUSS) for representing community disputes. It is argued that the more traditional approach of spatial decision support systems (SDSS) has had limited success in its application to actual community conflicts. In this study I have therefore adopted an alternative approach to spatial decision support, broadly following the paradigm of soft operational research. A prototype system termed CRANES (coordinator for rational arguments through nested substantiation) has been developed based on this alternative approach, integrated with a GIS. CRANES is a computer-assisted communication tool that aims to structure conflicts with their geographical, strategic, and argumentative dimensions. In the case study CRANES was introduced into an actual consultation exercise on an urban regeneration scheme in London. Results show that the multidimensional representation realised by CRANES contributed to a richer understanding of other peoples' arguments. Furthermore these arguments structured by and stored in CRANES proved to be a useful public resource for future decision making. It is concluded that SUSS such as CRANES could be incorporated into a future consultation process for many real-world community conflicts.
Abstract 1042 Liquid-liquid phase separation induced by interactions between the picornavirus 3C(D) main protease and genomic RNA control elements

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

The picornaviral 3C(D) protein is a key protease that catalyzes the cleavage of both the viral polyprotein and host cell defense proteins. Additionally, it interacts with cis-acting RNA replication elements (CREs; oriL, oriI, and oriR) in the viral genome to control viral replication and translation processes. Despite these known functions, uncertainty persists regarding the mode of interaction between 3C(D) and RNA, and how such interactions may impact protease function. In this study, we investigated the interactions of poliovirus (PV) 3C and 3CD (a form incorporating both 3C protease and 3D polymerase domains), with a specific focus on RNA elements derived from oriL and oriR. RNA binding led to NMR chemical shift perturbations in the N-terminal α-helix (e.g., Arg13), the active site (His40 and Glu71, part of the catalytic triad), the previously identified RNA binding region (residues Glu81-His89), and nearby Thr142, Met160 residues. Furthermore, RNA binding resulted in decreased peak intensities, suggesting the formation of larger multimeric protein-RNA complexes. To delve deeper into these interactions, we employed multiwavelength analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC), revealing the formation of a 1:1 complex between PV-3C and the RNA derived from oriL, as validated by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). Conversely, the RNA derived from oriR led to a multimeric protein: RNA complex with evidence for 1:1, 1:2, 2:1, 2:2, 3:2 etc complexes. Remarkably, fluorescence microscopy provided evidence of stress granule formation through liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) induced by the interaction of 3C with RNA. This phenomenon was not only observed with PV-3C but also with 3CD which is more abundant during the virus life cycle. The formation of LLPS in the presence of various RNAs suggests a potential role for 3C(D) in apoptosis post-viral infection and introduces an intriguing possibility of an additional regulatory mechanism in the picornavirus life cycle. This research was supported by NIHs grant AI104878 (to DDB), S10-OD028589 (to NY for SAXS) and S10-OD032215-01 (to NY for AUC).
A Methodology for Applying Bar Code Technology to Aircraft Maintenance Unit Support Sections.

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

This study developed a methodology that decision makers can use as an aid to determine if bar code technology should be applied in Aircraft Maintenance Unit (AMU) Support Sections. The literature review revealed that the Logistics Applications of Automated Marking and Reading Symbols (LOGMARS) steering group recommended that bar code technology applications be aggressively pursued across the logistics spectrum due to the success of the LOGMARS test program. Since AMU support sections perform many functions similar to those that have already benefited form this technology as it applies to an AMU support sections. Worksheets were designed to help collect and analyze the necessary cost/benefit information so that decision makers will be able to properly assess the expected cost and benefits for a particular support section.
Giant Bowing of the Bandgap and Spin-Orbit Splitting in GaP1-xBix Dilute Bismide Alloys

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Highly-mismatched III-V semiconductor alloys containing dilute concentrations of bismuth (Bi) have attracted significant attention in recent years since their unique electronic properties open up a range of possibilities for practical applications in semiconductor lasers, photovoltaics, spintronics, photodiodes, and thermoelectrics. Research on dilute bismide alloys has primarily focused to date on $\text{GaAs}_{1-x}\text{Bi}_{x}$ , where incorporation of Bi brings about a strong reduction of the direct $\Gamma$ -point band gap ( $E_{g}{}^{\Gamma}$ ) –by up to 90 meV per % Bi at low Bi compositions $x$ –characterised by strong, composition-dependent bowing. This unusual behaviour derives from the large differences in size (covalent radius) and chemical properties (electronegativity) between As and Bi.Bi, being significantly larger and more electropositive than As, acts as an isovalent impurity which primarily impacts and strongly perturbs the valence band (VB) structure. This is in contrast to dilute nitride alloys, in which small electronegative nitrogen (N) atoms strongly perturb the conduction band (CB) structure in $\text{GaN}_{x}\text{As}_{1-x}$ and related alloys. Additionally, Bi, being the largest stable group-V element, has strong relativistic (spin-orbit coupling) effects. As such, the reduction of $E_{g}{}^{\Gamma}$ in $(\text{In})\text{GaAs}_{1-x}\text{Bi}_{x}$ is accompanied by a strong increase in the VB spin-orbit splitting energy ( $\Delta_{\text{SO}}$ ).
Analisis Pengaruh Penggunaan CDI Racing terhadap Performa Sepeda Motor Matic 115 cc

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Replacing a standard CDI with a racing CDI is one way to improve ignition in a motorcycle engine and is expected to produce more complete combustion in the combustion chamber. The treatment in this study is the different types of CDIs used on motorcycles. The results show that the effect of CDI replacement on the power produced is a significant difference in power on standard CDI at RPM 5000 which is 5.7 HP while on CDI Rextor at RPM 8000 it is 7.3 HP. The significant difference in torque at RPM 1500 is 18.58 Nm while the CDI Rextor at RPM 2000 is 19.6 Nm. The power and torque produced by CDI Rextor are higher than the standard CDI. The amount of ignition produced by CDI Rextor greatly affects the size of the power and torque produced on the bicycle and the combustion pressure force will be maximized.
Myocardial Infarction in Treated Hypertensive Patients

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background —Despite the impressive decline in coronary heart disease death rates, a mortality differential between blacks and whites persists. Our study objective was to determine whether excess mortality among well-controlled hypertensive black men compared with whites is due to differences in disease incidence or in case fatality. Methods and Results —Of 3382 male subjects (1266 blacks and 2116 whites) enrolled between 1973 and 1996 and followed up through 1997 in a work-site hypertension control program, 2343 were followed up until 60 years of age, and 1884 were followed up until >60 years of age (either continuing after 60 years [n=845] or beginning treatment at ≥60 years [n=1039]), with a mean follow-up of 5.2 and 5.5 years, respectively. During follow-up, 186 myocardial infarction (MI) events (including 31 revascularizations) occurred, with 63 in patients <60 years and 123 in patients ≥60 years of age. Age-adjusted MI incidence was nearly twice as high for whites as blacks in younger (6.3 versus 3.4/1000 person-years) and older (14.1 versus 7.5 person-years) subjects. In contrast, the age-adjusted case fatality rate was 3-fold higher for younger blacks than for whites (37.8% versus 12.2%). In older patients, case fatality did not differ significantly between blacks and whites (37.6% versus 50.3%). In separate Cox regression analyses, among younger blacks but not younger whites, history of diabetes and smoking were significantly associated with both incidence and fatality. Conclusions —In these treated male hypertensive patients with good blood pressure control (139.6/85.7 mm Hg), young blacks, despite a lower MI incidence, had higher MI mortality than did their white counterparts. Their higher case fatality rate was associated with fewer coronary artery revascularizations and a higher prevalence of diabetes and smoking.
A molecular-genetic approach to studying source-sink interactions in Arabidopsis thaliana. Final report, April 1, 1995--March 31, 1998

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The ultimate goal of this research is to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which the complex interactions between sources and sinks of fixed carbon are controlled in plants. As soluble sugar levels have been shown to play a vital role in a variety of source-sink interactions, a key aspect of the authors research is to determine the role of sugar-regulated gene expression in mediating source-sink interactions. In addition, as a critical aspect of source-sink interactions is the channeling of fixed carbon into different storage forms, they have pursued the findings that fumaric acid represents a significant form of storage carbon in Arabidopsis thaliana and other plant species. In the future, a better understanding of the mechanisms by which interactions between sources and sinks of fixed carbon are coordinated will be a pre-requisite to developing more rationale approaches to improving harvest indices in crop species.
The Ramifications of Regulatory Reform

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract This article examines the regulatory reform proposals for the health care workforce recently proposed by politicians and members of the Pew Health Professions Commission. These proposals attempt to address issues related to state practice acts, competence, advanced practice, “boundaryless” practice, the disciplinary process, consumerism, and umbrella legislation. Questions are presented for each issue to guide practitioners when deliberating about possible actions professional organizations can take in proposing legislation at the state level Various external forces shape each issue and lead to the need to seek such regulatory reform as improving disciplinary processes and activity, assessing competence beyond the entry level, and increasing involvement of consumers. However, there are risks associated with any proposed regulatory reform, particularly if one realizes the potential financial costs associated with competency assessment and advanced-practice regulation. We must also carefully examine any reform proposals that advocate title protection and the licensing of invasive procedures in place of licensing professionals. The fact remains that the impact on quality of care and long-term cost-effectiveness from the unrestricted use of less qualified professionals and unlicensed aide-level personnel to provide skilled services has not been adequately determined.
Temperature Dependence of Growth and Fatty Acid Composition in the Cell Membrane of Mesophilic Bacteria Grown below the Optimum Growth Temperature

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

The features of Arrhenius plots of the relationship between specific growth rate and temperature for four strains of mesophilic bacteria varied depending on the cultivation temperature of the seed. An inflection point was observed around 20°C for the seed grown at 28 to 30°C but not for the seed grown previously at 15 to 17°C. The inflection temperature coincided with the phase transition temperature (around 23°C) determined by the DSC spectra of phospholipids extracted from the cells of Lactobacillus plantarum and Escherichia coil grown at 30°C. From the comparison of fatty acid compositions of phospholipids from the cells grown at different temperatures, unsaturated fatty acids were thought to be converted to corresponding cyclopropanoic acids by transmethylation at the higher temperature. Thus it was suggested that the increase in the cyclopropanoic acids causes the decrease in the membrane fluidity and the inflection point appears in the Arrhenius plot around 20°C for the seed grown at 28 to 30°C.
Population Dynamics of Sucking Pests in Dual Season Cotton Ecosystem and Its Correlation with Weather Factors

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Population dynamics of sucking pests in cotton ecosystem were studied at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore during winter (2021) and summer (2022) seasons. Weekly observations were recorded on 20 randomly selected plants representing top, middle and bottom canopy of the crop which was raised in regular planting dates of winter and summer and were maintained as per the recommended regular agronomic practices except insect management interventions. During winter season, sucking pests viz., leafhopper, aphids, thrips, and whitefly were first observed in field from 39th SMW i.e. one month after sowing. Mealybugs were first observed during 41st SMW i.e. 43 days after sowing (DAS) of crop. The highest population of leafhopper, aphids, thrips, whitefly and mealybug recorded was 4.7, 18.7, 4.6, 2.45 no. per 3 leaves and 13.7 no. per 3 twigs, respectively. The mean population of sucking pests was high in October, 2021 and coincided with square formation to flowering stage except mealybug, which attained peak during January, at the boll bursting stage of crop. During summer season, the sucking pests were found to colonize from 8th SMW, corresponded to 20 DAS crop, while the mealybug occurred at 11th SMW, 40 DAS crop. The peak population of leafhopper, aphids, thrips, whitefly and mealybug registered was 5.4, 38.4, 4.9, 7.07 no./ 3 leaves and 2.4 no./ 3 twigs, respectively. The mean population of sucking pests was high from mid march to first fortnight of april 2022, and by that time the crop was at square formation to flowering stage. On comparison of both the season, summer season crop was infested by intensive level of sucking pests. Correlation results revealed that maximum temperature (0C) showed positive correlation, whereas rainfall (mm) showed negative correlation with population growth of sucking pests. Results of multiple linear regression analysis revealed that all the weather parameters collectively caused 51.1% – 88.4% influence on the population fluctuation of sucking pests.

Mobilization of peripheral blood progenitor cells for allogeneic transplantation.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Allogeneic transplantation of peripheral blood stem/progenitor cells (PBSC/PBPC) has been increasingly used as an alternative to allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. To mobilize and collect a sufficient number of PBSC/PBPC for engraftment after allotransplantation, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) has been preferentially used. The mobilization protocol, however, has not been fully established. In this review, dose and schedule of G-CSF administration, characteristics of G-CSF-mobilized PBPC products, cytokines other than G-CSF for PBSC/PBPC mobilization, and safety of the PBSC/PBPC donors are discussed for clinical application of allogeneic PBSC/PBPC transplantation.

In recent decades, family relationships have become increasingly exploited by researchers in fields such as sociology, psychology, anthropology, and economics. The historians also tries to understand how the historical realities influenced the family or how they were perceived by the change of mentalities. The following article aims to present the canonical and legal implications of the institution of marriage, in light of a document discovered in the Jagiellonian Library in Krakow. The document called "Prawo a małżeństwie" or “Law on Marriage Alliance” issued on February 14, 1832 by Tsar Nicholas I offers interesting and useful information about the conclusion and termination of a marriage, about rules, conditioning, limitations and obstacles.
House, Land, and Family Life

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This chapter examines representations of house, land, and family life in significant works of modern Irish fiction for children from the late nineteenth century to the present day. It analyses key narrative trends and explains how different manifestations of home are in dialogue with each other. With a focus on realist fiction, the chapter identifies notable touchstones and examines specific depictions of home, from the Big House to the thatched cottage; from gender construction within the domestic sphere to the collision of traditional and modern forces within the home; from diverse family structures in urban homes to fractured families during the conflict in Northern Ireland; and from the interweaving of private and public histories to the creation of sanctuaries for young adults. A chronological analysis of varying types of homes reveals the complicated cultural and social discourses at play in modern Irish children’s fiction.

An Efficient Full Wave Model for Investigating Layered Media Using Bi-Static Ground Penetrating Radar

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a popular nondestructive sensor for subsurface media investigation. Modeling of the GPR system has a significant role in the successful estimation of subsurface media properties, imaging, and detection of buried object. A model should provide good accuracy and computational efficiency while taking care of numerous GPR scenarios. However, achieving accuracy and speed of computation is a difficult task. In this respect, analytical modelings are promising techniques to represent a specific GPR scenario. In this work, a simplified full wave model (FWM) for bi-static GPR has been developed to represent radar transceivers with layered media. The model has been derived from an existing FWM solution. The accuracy of the proposed model has been verified by comparing it with existing FWMs, and by laboratory experiments based on stepped frequency continuous wave (SFCW) GPR. The corresponding results show that the proposed bi-static model is as accurate as FWM and its computational efficiency is enormous in estimating the sub-surface media properties.
MSX mid-infrared imaging of massive star birth environments -- I. Ultracompact H II regions

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We present mid-IR 21micron images of a sample of radio selected Ultracompact HII (UCHII) regions, obtained with the Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX). All, with one possible exception, are detected at mid-IR wavelengths, sampling the warm dust emission of the cocoons of the OB star central exciting sources. Many of the UCHII regions have nearby (up to a few pc distant) companion dust emission sources, which represent other potential star birth sites. In some objects the companion dominates the IRAS point source catalogue entry for the UCHII region. We compare the mid- and far-IR dust emission, measuring the embedded hot star luminosity, with published UCHII radio emission, measuring the Lyman continuum luminosity. We find a spectral type dependence, as predicted by the standard model of an ultracompact ionized hydrogen region, surrounded by a natal dust shell, with some scatter, which can be understood by consideration of: 1) dust absorption of some fraction of the emitted Lyman continuum photons; 2) fainter companion stars within the UCHII region; 3) the structure of the UCHII regions differing from star to star. Overall, the higher spatial resolution offered by MSX alleviates difficulties often encountered by comparison of IRAS far-IR fluxes with radio derived ionizing fluxes for UCHII regions.
In vivo foregut digestion of starch-based concentrate feeds in horses using the mobile bag technique

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Metabolic disorders from poor foregut digestion of starch-based concentrate feeds are one of the most serious challenges that face today’s horse owners. Although there are many different cereal and legume-based concentrates used to formulate compound horse feeds in Europe relatively little is known about their in vivo foregut digestibility. While Meyer et al (1993) has examined the effects of processing on digestibility, there is no published data comparing the in vivo foregut digestibility of a wide range of concentrates. Therefore this study sought to determine the digestibility of 20 different starch rich feeds in the foregut of horses using the mobile bag technique. Four mature geldings (BW ranging from 395 to 478 kg) fitted with caecal and colonic cannulae, were maintained in individual stalls, where water was available ad libitum and fed a diet of pellets and straw. The pelleted feed, fed at 0.8% BW/d, contained 14% fibre, 13% crude protein, 3.2% fat and 8.7% ash. This feed was equally divided and offered at 8am and 5pm.
