Effects of the discrete pattern of electrical coupling on propagation through an electrical syncytium.

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

We used numerical integration techniques to simulate action potential propagation along one-dimensional strands of cells coupled with electrical junctions. We considered the standard case to be a series of cardiac cells (20 micrometer in diameter, 50 micrometers long) with intercellular coupling such that the effective longitudinal resistance was 200 omega cm. The membrane properties were represented by the model of Beeler and Reuter (1977) (Sharp and Joyner, 1980). By increasing Ri (and thus decreasing the space constant, L), we showed that effects due to the discrete cell length, delta X, became apparent when delta X/L was greater than about 0.2, producing an increased maximal dV/dt but a decrease in peak inward current. We also simulated the effects of a periodic spatial variation in Ri, representing a structure with groups of well-coupled cells but with minimal coupling between the groups. Even with a constant membrane model and cell size, variations in the spatial pattern of interconnection produced ...
Results of the Quarterly Tritium Survey of Fourmile Branch and Its Seeplines in the F and H Areas of SRS: May 1995

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

The Environmental Sciences Section of the Savannah River Technology Center established a quarterly monitoring program of the Fourmile Branch stream and its associated seepline located down gradient from the F- and H-Area Seepage Basins. The primary focus of this program was to survey and track changes in tritium levels; however, specific conductivity, and pH were also surveyed and tracked. The measurement from the eleventh survey (May 1995) exhibited similar tritium levels, conductivity measurements, and pH values to data from previous sampling events. The overall results of the tritium survey and stream monitoring data (Looney et al., 1993) indicate that the tritium plume resulting from the past operation of the seepage basins continues to flush from the Fourmile Branch wetland system.
Abstract TP340: The Level of Occludin in Blood as a Potential Biomarker for Blood-Brain Barrier Damage and Predicting Hemorrhage Transformation After Acute Ischemic Stroke

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Fear of hemorrhage transformation (HT) has been the primary reason for withholding the effective recanalization therapies (thrombolysis or thrombectomy) from most acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. Currently there is no reliable indicator available to predict HT before recanalization. The degradation of tight junction proteins plays a critical role in blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption in ischemic stroke. We hypothesize that since occludin fragment in peripheral blood is derived from the degradation of occludin on cerebral microvessels, elevated blood occludin level directly reflects BBB disruption and may serve as a biomarker for BBB damage to predict the risk of HT after recanalization. In this study, we determined occludin fragment in the blood of rats, non-human primates and human patients after AIS using ELISA assay, and evaluated its level with BBB damage, HT, and other neurological outcomes. We found that ischemia induced rapid occludin degradation and BBB disruption, while occludin fragment was released into the blood circulation. Cerebral ischemia resulted in a dramatic increase of occludin fragments in rat blood samples after 4-hr ischemia, which was correlated well with occludin loss from ischemic cerebral microvessels. In the blood sample from ischemic rhesus monkeys, occludin level significantly increased after 2h ischemia from baseline, which correlated well with brain infarction shown in MRI images. We further collected the sera of AIS patients as early as they arrived at hospital. Our results indicated that the level of occludin increased in accord with ischemia onset time and neurological dysfunctions. The level of blood occludin in AIS patients with HT was much higher that those without HT. Together, our findings from rats, non-human primates and patients suggest that the level of occludin fragment in blood could serve as a biomarker for HT and neurological outcome following AIS, which could be used to safely guide recanalization for AIS in the clinic.
Emancipation in the Old World, 1880s–1920s

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Exactly a century after the first great stirrings of abolition in Britain, slavery had been legally abolished by Brazil's “Golden Law.” In a broad swath of the Old World, however, stretching from the Atlantic coast of Africa through the eastern reaches of the Indian Ocean World, the institution of slavery remained both intact and robust. When the Americas were closed to enslaved Africans in the 1850s and 1860s, the institution was attaining its maximum extension within Africa. As noted in chapter 10, the World Antislavery Convention had been informed that there were 6 to 8 million slaves in India. Another contemporary writer placed the figure as high as 16 million or about one-tenth of the subcontinent's population. At that moment, India probably contained more people in servile status than any other political unit in the world.
Application of the sex-linked recessive lethal test in Drosophila melanogaster for monitoring the work environment of a rubber factory

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The intention of the study was to try the applicability of a biologic test system for the detection of potentially hazardous ambient exposures in a rubber factory. Drosophila populations (strain “white”) were exposed for five generations in the calendering and the vulcanization areas. No significant increases in SLRL frequencies were observed. The difference was statistically slightly significant (P ≤ 0.05) between the pooled materials of the exposed cages. Drosophila males (strain “white”) were exposed for 14 days in four manufacturing departments, vulcanization, weighing, calendering and moulding (the area where methylene-o-chloro aniline (MOCA) is used). Only in the pooled material from the exposures in the vulcanization area and in the MOCAroom was the SLRL frequency statistically slightly significantly (P ≤ 0.05) increased as compared with the control. The results suggest that potentially mutagenic air-borne contaminants may be found in specific areas, such as the vulcanization area and in the MOCA-room, and that monitoring of ambient exposures can be performed with the Drosophila SLRL system.
BEING A CORPORATE CITIZEN IN INDIA: HISTORY AND SITUATION TODAY

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The aim of this paper is to explore the current situation of corporate citizenship in India and its evolution over time, comparing it with industrialised countries. It attempts to compare and contrast two systems of Corporate Citizenship (CC), one in the U.S. and the other in India, each in a different phase of maturity. Observing the definition of CC in its westernised context, there is a literature gap regarding the behaviour of corporates, including local and multi-national corporations. This paper highlights the fact such entities in India are actually practising CSR and not CC.
Fake, partial and imposed compliance: the limits of the EU's normative power in the Western Balkans

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This article examines the EU's external power through the prism of perceptions by non-EU countries of the aims of EU's foreign policy, as shown in the Western Balkans. It argues that the EU's policy in the Western Balkans lacks a strong normative justification, which affects the degree of compliance with the EU's demands in areas related to state sovereignty. The perceived lack of legitimacy opens up political space for domestic actors to contest the positions taken by the EU on normative grounds. The Western Balkan countries have responded by giving preference to internal sources of legitimacy and asserting domestic reasons for fake compliance, partial compliance or non-compliance with the EU's conditions, with the latter provoking imposed compliance. The article links the enlargement literature with the study of EU foreign policy by offering a new approach to analysing the normative and strategic dimensions of the EU's external power.
Modeled Sea Level Rise Impacts on Coastal Vegetation and Infrastructure at Lake Earl Wildlife Area and Tolowa Lagoon, Northern California: Implications for Management and Adaptive Planning

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Few ecosystems remain untouched by sea-level rise along the Pacific coast of North America. This process has facilitated reduction in the range of ecosystem responses and promoted loss of biological diversity at a scale relevant to local populations of plants and animals. Even fewer studies have evaluated the extent of rising sea levels on coastal ecosystems at finer scales. Here, I quantified the projected impacts of rising sea level on the vulnerability of plant communities at the Lake Earl-Tolowa Lagoon System (Lake Earl Wildlife Area) using a Static Vegetation Model. I also evaluated use of a recent regional coastal Marsh-migration Model fitted to the same study area. Results showed the Static Model predicted 100% of Estuarine Brackish Emergent habitat, 34.0% of Coastal Dune habitat, 80.7% of Freshwater Emergent Wetland, 48.9% of Forest Wetland, 21.0% of Grassland/Pasture, 8.0% of Coastal Maritime Forest, and 3.4% of Urban infrastructure would be inundated by salt-water at ~3.0m (~9.8 ft) of sea-level rise. Conversely, categories of marsh-types used in the Marsh-migration Model were inconsistent with the type of vegetation mapped within the study area, and impacts to these categories did not materialize until ~14 m (~45.9 ft) of sea-level rise. At this level Estuarian Wetland, Emergent Wetland, and Unconsolidated Shore exhibited slight increases in area, while other categories declined. The Marsh-migration Model also proved insufficient at identifying any major alteration in the extent of marsh-types for future planning or conservation by land managers, which was the primary goal of this model at conception. Identifying the potential impact of future sea-level rise on biological communities necessitates extensive data collection, quantification of plant and animal communities, updating existing vegetation maps, modeling the potential for migration inland, and establishing a comprehensive, multi-scale coastal-change modeling framework at spatiotemporal scales unique to the particular wildlife area. These actions are necessary to identify, assess, mitigate, and alleviate any potential future stressors in rising sea-level on natural resources on managed lands along the coast of northern California and elsewhere.
Gambaran Dukungan Keluarga Dan Kepatuhan Diet Pada Pasien Diabetes Mellitus Tipe 2: Literature Review

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

AbstractDiabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that is closely related to lifestyle. This disease is exprienced by many people in the world. The family has to provide support that can have a positive impact on dietary complience. It can be in the form of being able to control what can be consumed according to the recommendations of health workers during the diet, reminding each other, and providing support to family members who are on a diabetes mellitus diet. To determine the description of family support and dietary complience in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The research method used in this study was a literature review by conducting an online searh from the Medline database source and the Garuda portal. There were 5 articles found that matched the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results showed that 361 respondents (52,7%) had good family support and 432 respondents (63%) had non-adherent dietary compliance levels. Good family support can prevent complications and help treatment so that patients are more enthusiastic and can carry out activites as usual. Dietary non-compliance can delay the patient’s recovery. Familly support, although it is good, does not guarantee that dietary complience will also be good. Other factors can affect dietary complience, such as age, education, and occupation.Keywords: Type 2 diabetes mellitus; family suppor; dietary complience AbstrakDiabetes mellitus merupakan penyakit kronis yang berhubungan erat dengan pola hidup, penyakit ini banyak dialami oleh penduduk di dunia.

Word Formation Approach to Noun Phrase Analysis for Thai

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Noun phrase analysis is one of the most important components in Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications, such as information retrieval, extraction and categorization. For Thai, noun phrase analysis has unique problems, i.e., noun phrase boundary identification, noun phrase decomposition and its relation extraction, and core noun detection. Statistical and rule based Word formation is, then, proposed as a means of efficiently noun phrase analysis by reducing the possible variants of boundary identification both in local and global level. The comparison of NP analysis with and without word formation is approximately 90 % and 78% respectively. 1.
Characterization of a yeast mitochc deletion mutagenesis

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

We have generated collections of mutants of the promoter for the small rRNA gene from the mitochondria of yeast deleted from either the 3' or 5' end. Plasmids containing the partially deleted promoter were assayed for their ability to direct correct transcriptional initiation in a homologous in vitro system. We find that the region required for high-efficiency promoter function lies between positions -10 and +2. Our methods detected no effect of flanking sequences on the strength of this promoter.
