Antagonism of Sphingosine 1-Phosphate Receptor-2 Enhances Migration of Neural Progenitor Cells Toward an Area of Brain Infarction

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Background and Purpose— We have previously shown that the sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P)/S1P receptor-1 (S1P1R) axis contributes to the migration of transplanted neural progenitor cells (NPCs) toward areas of spinal cord injury. In the current study, we examined a strategy to increase endogenous NPC migration toward the injured central nervous system to modify S1PR. Methods— S1P concentration in the ischemic brain was measured in a mouse thrombosis model of the middle cerebral artery. NPC migration in vitro was assessed by a Boyden chamber assay. Endogenous NPC migration toward the insult was evaluated after ventricular administration of the S1P2R antagonist JTE-013. Results— The concentration of S1P in the brain was increased after ischemia and was maximal 14 days after the insult. The increase in S1P in the infarcted brain was primarily caused by accumulation of microglia at the insult. Mouse NPCs mainly expressed S1P1R and S1P2R as S1PRs, and S1P significantly induced the migration of NPCs in vitro thro...

Feature Selection and Model Design through GA Applied to Handwritten Digit Recognition from Historical Document Images

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper presents a genetic algorithm-based approach that integrates a radial basis function kernel support vector machine applied to pattern recognition. The proposed approach performs feature selection on handwritten digits from historical document images and model design on the adopted support vector machine in order to obtain the best possible recognition performance with the minimum possible feature selection subset. The results generated by this research display that the proposed approach is efficient in finding the parameter set of the support vector machine and the feature selection subset that optimize the pattern distinction into their respective classes. Additionally, this method produces solutions that achieve rate of correct digit classification of 95.10 % on average and obtain a pattern representation with approximately 50 % reduction in dimensionality regarding the original representation. This paper contributes to the preservation and diffusion of historical documents. Our goal is to recognize handwritten dates in documents for indexing purposes.
An Algorithm for Determining the Navigation Parameters of AUVs Based on the Combination of Measuring Devices

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

An extended nonlinear Kalman filter (EKF) for a real-time estimation of the navigation parameters of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) based on the combination of angular rate sensors, magnetometers, accelerometers and speedometers, pressure sensors or GPS is recently developed. Due to the combination of the measuring devices using the EKF, the accuracy of the navigation parameters is improved because the drifts of angular rate sensors, accelerometers and noise of the measuring devices are ignored. Moreover, this combination helps us to reduce the capacity of the computation in comparison with the inertial navigation methods. We combine the inertial navigation equipments with the speed measurement devices based on an extended Kalman filter in order to improve the speed accuracy of an underwater equipment. The obtained results of the test on the turntable with 3 degrees of freedom Aerosmith and of the firm test on underwaterr rescue robots for big fire have proved the correctness of the algorithm.
An intersectional feminist analysis of Australian print media representations of sexual violence by Indian men

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This chapter discusses an intersectional feminist social work research project that explored patriarchal and colonial discourses in the Australian print media about sexual violence by men in India. Using Carol Bacchi's 'What's the Problem Represented to be?' approach the study examined how Indian men who perpetrate sexual violence are represented in Australian print media, focusing on the 'Nirbhaya Delhi gang rape' in 2012. Media discourses construct truth and knowledge claims about violence against women in India, which can shape public perceptions and in turn community responses. This research found that truth claims draw on essentialising gendered, colonial and racist discourses that perpetuate myths that 'culture' is the explanation behind violence against Indian women by Indian men. If a culture is unfavourably represented in the media, women may refrain from expressing their experiences and accessing supports for gendered violence, to avoid bringing shame to the community. This chapter argues that an intersectional feminist social work can be used to interrogate unequal gender, race and colonial power relations that shape media discourses about sexual violence in Indian communities. It is a social work imperative to promote approaches that support culturally safe responses to gendered violence.
Surge Voltage Distribution in Line-End Coils of Induction Motors

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The line-end coil of an induction motor winding subjected to steep fronted surges is examined. A multi-conductor transmission line model is developed to represent the entrance coil of the winding under surge conditions. Transmission line parameters are calculated from the geometry of the winding and from the solution of magnetic field equations, using the finite element method. The voltage at any point in the line-end coil is calculated from solution of the transmission line equations describing the model. The results are compared with those obtained from practical tests. This technique can be used to design winding insulation capable of withstanding high stresses caused by fast surges.
Quantitative analysis of S3341 in human plasma and urine by combined gas chromatography—negative ion chemical ionization mass spectrometry: 15 month inter-day precision and accuracy validation

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

A new quantitative assay for the determination of S3341, an alpha-2 agonist antihypertensive drug, has been developed using combined gas chromatography-negative ion chemical ionization mass spectrometry. The [M]-. ions from TFA derivatives of S3341 (m/z 276) and the internal standard (2H4)S3341 (m/z 280) are monitored simultaneously by selected ion monitoring. For S3341 concentrations ranging from the limit of detection (0.2 ng ml-1 using 1 ml of plasma) to 5 ng ml-1, the average assay precision (CV) is approximately 7% while the average assay accuracy (percentage of error) is 4%. Validation of the day-to-day precision and accuracy was realized after analysing control plasma samples (n = 295) concurrently with the biological samples collected during the pharmacokinetic studies conducted over 15 months. The average day-to-day precision (CV) and accuracy (percentage of error) are 10% and 6% respectively, thus indicating that this assay procedure routinely provides reliable analytical data.
Effect of synthetic sodium aluminium silicate on the properties of nylon 6

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Compounds were prepared from nylon 6 and synthetic sodium aluminium silicate (SSAS), varying the concentration of SSAS, up to 15% (wt/wt). Mechanical and rheological properties as well as optical properties were measured. There was a substantial increase in flexural modulus and flexural strength with added SSAS. However, the percentage elongation at break decreased rapidly with increasing amount of SSAS. All the compositions had much higher shear and extensional viscosity than nylon 6 alone. At lower concentrations, the filler induced dull yellow appearance, which disappeared as the concentration of SSAS increased. © 2001 Society of Chemical Industry
Tyrosine Phosphorylation of the Inactivating Peptide of the Shaker B Potassium Channel:  A Structural−Functional Correlate

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

A synthetic peptide patterned after the sequence of the inactivating "ball" domain of the Shaker B K(+) channel restores fast (N-type) inactivation in mutant deletion channels lacking their constitutive ball domains, as well as in K(+) channels that do not normally inactivate. We now report on the effect of phosphorylation at a single tyrosine in position 8 of the inactivating peptide both on its ability to restore fast channel inactivation in deletion mutant channels and on the conformation adopted by the phosphorylated peptide when challenged by anionic lipid vesicles, a model target mimicking features of the inactivation site in the channel protein. We find that the inactivating peptide phosphorylated at Y8 behaves functionally as well as structurally as the noninactivating mutant carrying the mutation L7E. Moreover, it is observed that the inactivating peptide can be phosphorylated by the Src tyrosine kinase either as a free peptide in solution or when forming part of the membrane-bound protein channel as the constitutive inactivating domain. These findings suggest that tyrosine phosphorylation-dephosphorylation of this inactivating ball domain could be of physiological relevance to rapidly interconvert fast-inactivating channels into delayed rectifiers and vice versa.
Effect of Season on 25-OH Vitamin D in Serum of Rhesus Monkeys Housed in Puerto Rico.

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

Vitamin D levels were substantially higher in the "summer" rather than the "winter" months. This observation implies that even in fully tropical regions, such as Puerto Rico, time of year can have an influence on vitamin D status. While comparable studies have not been undertaken in humans, it would not be unreasonable to suggest that similar results would be obtained should such a study be done.

High-Throughput Screening Platform in Postnatal Heart Cells and Chemical Probe Toolbox to Assess Cardiomyocyte Proliferation

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Restoring lost heart muscle is an attractive goal for cardiovascular regenerative medicine. One appealing strategy is the therapeutic stimulation of cardiomyocyte proliferation, which inter alia remains challenging due to available assay technologies capturing the complex biology. Here, a high-throughput-formatted phenotypic assay platform was established using rodent whole heart-derived cells to preserve the cellular environment of cardiomyocytes. Several readouts allowed the quantification of cycling cardiomyocytes, including a transgenic H2B-mCherry system for unequivocal, automated detection of cardiomyocyte nuclei. A chemical genetics approach revealed pronounced species differences and furnished pan-kinase inhibitors 5 and 36 as potent and robust inducers of endoreplication and acytokinetic mitosis. Combined profiling of the commonly used p38 MAPK inhibitors SB203580 (1), SB239063 (2) and a novel set of skepinone-L (6) derivatives pointed to off-target effects beyond p38 that might be critical for effective cardiomyocyte cytokinesis. Kinome-focused screening eventually furnished TG003 (38) as a novel candidate for stimulating cardiomyocyte proliferation.
A Prospective Study Comparing Steroid Injection and Needle Fenestration for the Treatment of Chronic Plantar Fasciitis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Purpose: This study sought to compare needle fenestration with a corticosteroid injection for the treatment of chronic plantar fasciitis.We hypothesized that needle fenestration would be as effective as a corticosteroid injection while avoiding the potential adverse effects of the corticosteroid. Materials and Methods:Forty female patients with unilateral chronic plantar fasciitis who did not respond to a minimum of 6 months of various conservative treatments were prospectively randomized to receive either a corticosteroid injection or needle fenestration.Visual analogue scale and American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score were used for all patients before treatment and at 3-, 6-, and 12-month following treatment. Results:The corticosteroid injection group had a before-treatment average AOFAS Ankle-Hindfoot score of 56.4, which increased to 87.3 at 3 months and 78.2 at 6 months after treatment but decreased to 62.4 at 12 months.The needle fenestration group had a before treatment average AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score of 49.5, which increased to 77.8 at 3 months and 92.1 at 6 months after treatment and remained at a high score of 89.4 at 12 months.There were no complications in either group. Conclusion:In the treatment of chronic plantar fasciitis, needle fenestration is as effective at 3-and 6-month post-treatment as a corticosteroid injection.Also, unlike a corticosteroid, its effect remains until 12 months post-treatment.
Retaining Style in Literary Prose Translation: A Stylistic Approach to Translating McCarthy's The Road

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This thesis argues that the concept of style, here defined as the distinctive set of linguistic features that characterize a particular text, is currently underprioritized in the field of literary translation studies and should be given a more central position for three main reasons: the inextricability of form and content; the primarily aesthetic function of literature; and the representative function of translation. It proposes a style-centered approach to literary prose translation, which involves thorough stylistic analysis of the source text and the identification and meticulous application of translation procedures that fit within its stylistic framework, as well as the avoidance of translation procedures that would interfere with the source-text style. My analysis of two passages from Cormac McCarthy's (2006) novel The Road and its Dutch translation revealed that a style-centered approach would have significantly improved the degree of what I termed 'stylistic correspondence' between source text and target text. The style-centered approach could thus help improve the degree of stylistic correspondence between literary source texts and target texts and hereby aid style in assuming its rightful, more central position in literary translation studies.
New rice varieties and cropping systems for paddy fields with poor water control in Madagascar

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Developing and maintaining water control in paddy fields is difficult, costly and requires sufficient water reserves. Thus, even in the main rice growing area of Madagascar, the Aláotra lake region (800 metres above sea level), only 30 000 ha of paddy fields can be properly irrigated when over 70 000 ha will remain under poor water control. In these fields, traditional techniques based on irrigated cropping practices are very unreliable: late transplanting (which can be done only when sufficient water is available) and occurence of dry conditions at the end of the plant cycle lead to usually low yields (0.8 to 1 t/ha on average) and production is very unreliable (from nil, during the dry years to 3 t/ha when rains are favourable), which makes crop intensification very hazardous. For such situations, a change in paradigm is proposed: abandoning irrigated practice and making the choice of growing upland or poly-aptitude" rice varieties (SEBOTA) with agro-ecological practices adapted to the specific field water regime.
Direct and indirect effects of obesity on progression of carotid arterial injury in youth

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Objective Increased carotid intima‐media thickness (cIMT) is associated with cardiovascular (CV) events in adults and with elevated CV risk factors in youth. The aim of this study was to determine whether obesity has an direct or indirect association with cIMT. Methods Structural equation modeling was used to elucidate pathways for obesity to change cIMT. Complete data were collected twice on 294 participants (mean age 17.5 years, 16% with type 2 diabetes). Latent baseline and follow‐up cIMT, BMI, and CV risk factors were analyzed with SAS 9.4. Model fit was assessed. Results There were increases in BMI, mean arterial pressure (MAP), low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, high‐density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, C‐reactive protein, and glucose and a decrease in insulin and glycosylated hemoglobin over 5 years (all p < 0.05). Only bulb (0.031 mm) and internal (0.027 mm) cIMT increased (all p < 0.001). Significant direct effects on cIMT change were baseline MAP ( β 0.23), BMI z score ( β 0.16), change in glucose ( β 0.37), and age ( β 0.37; all p < 0.05). Change in MAP showed a trend ( β 0.14, p = 0.10). BMI also had a significant indirect effect ( β 0.17), whereas non‐HDL demonstrated no significant effect. Conclusions Baseline adiposity drives increasing blood pressure and glucose in high‐risk youth leading to accelerated accumulation of carotid arterial injury. Prevention of acquisition of obesity in youth is critical in slowing development of CV disease.
Legal Framework for Income Distribution in Cooperatives: Principles and Practice

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

To conduct business activities, the first, cooperatives must have charter capital, which members contribute to the cooperative according to their commitment before establishment. The second, In the process of business activities, members must directly contribute labor, that is, participate in the management and operation of cooperative activities, at the same time, members directly use the products and services of the cooperative, create revenue, and ultimately create profits for the cooperative, generating income. When income arises, the cooperative processes the income according to the order and procedures prescribed by the Law on Cooperatives, according to the provisions in the Cooperative Charter or according to the financial regulations of the cooperative. Finally, the cooperative distributes income to members according to the level of use of products and services, according to the level of labor contribution and according to the capital contribution ratio.
Open storm: a complete framework for sensing and control of urban watersheds

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Leveraging recent advances in technologies surrounding the Internet of Things, "smart" water systems are poised to transform water resources management by enabling ubiquitous real-time sensing and control. Recent applications have demonstrated the potential to improve flood forecasting, enhance rainwater harvesting, and prevent combined sewer overflows. However, adoption of smart water systems has been hindered by a limited number of proven case studies, along with a lack of guidance on how smart water systems should be built. To this end, we review existing solutions, and introduce open storm---an open-source, end-to-end platform for real-time monitoring and control of watersheds. Open storm includes (i) a robust hardware stack for distributed sensing and control in harsh environments (ii) a cloud services platform that enables system-level supervision and coordination of water assets, and (iii) a comprehensive, web-based "how-to" guide, available on open-storm.org, that empowers newcomers to develop and deploy their own smart water networks. We illustrate the capabilities of the open storm platform through two ongoing deployments: (i) a high-resolution flash-flood monitoring network that detects and communicates flood hazards at the level of individual roadways and (ii) a real-time stormwater control network that actively modulates discharges from stormwater facilities to improve water quality and reduce stream erosion. Through these case studies, we demonstrate the real-world potential for smart water systems to enable sustainable management of water resources.
