For a Just and Better World

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Building upon historic transnational connections between the cosmopolitan port of Tampico, the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, the Mexican north, and ports of entry across the Atlantic, a network of labor activists including women such as Caritina Piña emerged in the early twentieth century to address labor inequities. This book retraces the emergence of this network circulating on the eve of the 1910 Mexican Revolution. The early revolutionary period ushered in a wave of anarcho-syndicalist groups privileging organizing via labor unions and other collectives. Organizations such as the Partido Liberal Mexicano (PLM) were among the most progressive of collectives that incorporated women’s issues in their agenda. Its members encouraged women’s participation as compañeras, key to creating a real revolution. Yet, despite such progressive stance, gendered ideas about femininity and masculinity shaped members’ perspectives just as much as they shaped mainstream media outlets casting radical female activists as “women of ill-repute.” Their own understanding of gender and ideas about motherhood shaped women activists too. While anarcho-syndicalism declined as the revolutionary state grew stronger in its co-opting of organized labor, the legacy of women’s activism remained a distinctive feature of the greater Mexican borderlands. Women left an indelible mark on the Tamaulipas-Texas borderlands’ labor history. Such historic and gendered border solidarities, while imperfect, helped to build a foundation for postrevolutionary labor alliances.
PHARMACOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF ANTI-ULCER ACTIVITY OF Cymbopogon flexuosus

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Background: Peptic ulcer disease is a worldwide problem. Currently, there is no cost-effective treatment to relieve pain, heal the ulcer and prevent ulcer recurrence. Hence, there is a dire need to search and find a suitable treatment from natural sources. The present study was designed to investigate the anti-ulcer activity of ethanol extract of the leaves of Cymbopogon flexuosus.Methods: The ethanol extract of the leaves of Cymbopogon flexuosus was prepared by hot extraction method. Anti-ulcer activity was evaluated in rats and method employed was pylorus ligation. Animals were divided into four groups of six animals each. The animals of Group I served as normal control (vehicle) which received normal saline (5 ml/kg b.wt., p.o). Group II and III received 200 and 400 mg/kg b.wt. of ethanol extract, respectively. The animals of Group IV served as standard control which received ranitidine (15 mg/kg bd.wt.). At the end of study parameters like ulcer index, free acidity, total acidity, acid volume, and pH were determined.Results: The ethanol extract showed a significant reduction in the total acidity, free acidity, and acid volume. The efficacy of plant extract at high dose was comparable with the standard drug - ranitidine.Conclusion: Our study results support the ethnomedical use of leaves of C. flexuosus.
Determining Maximum Stack Usage in Preemptive Shared Stack Systems

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper presents a novel method to determine the maximum stack memory used in preemptive, shared stack, real-time systems. We provide a general and exact problem formulation applicable for any preemptive system model based on dynamic (run-time) properties. We also show how to safely approximate the exact stack usage by using static (compile time) information about the system model and the underlying run-time system on a rel-evant and commercially available system model: A hybrid, statically and dynamically, scheduled system. Comprehensive evaluations show that our technique sig-nificantly reduces the amount of stack memory needed com-pared to existing analysis techniques. For typical task sets a decrease in the order of 70 % is typical. 1.
Identity Creation and Resource Controlling Strategies: Thoughts on Edomite Ethnogenesis and Development

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In this paper I suggest that the evolution of the control of natural resources and trade routes in the Arabah Valley and its environs was the basis for the formation of Edomite identity in the early Iron Age. Building on insights on ethnogenesis in Southeast Asia in the studies of Joseph Scott and James Warren, I attempt to align this with recent discussions on early Edom, and the role that this group played in the regional economic web of the Iron Age.
High expression, purification and functional analysis of the Tat protein of HIV-1B^/C recombinant strains in China

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

Tat proteins were purified by nickel-chelating chromatography. Luciferase assays indicated that the Tat proteins expressed in vitro had biological activity, and could transactivate the downstream reporter gene of HIV-1 LTR. The difference in transactivation was in direct proportion to the viral load of the HIV-infected individuals. The above results show that tat gene mutation can change its phenotype, and further impact viral epidemiology. This study sheds light on patterns of gene mutations and characteristics of the HIV-1B^/C recombinant strains in China.
Effects of underwater noise on auditory sensitivity of a cyprinid fish. Hear

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The underwater acoustic environment is inherently loud as a result of ambient sounds and an increasing amount of noise from anthropogenic sources. The report summarizes two sets of experiments which examined how white noise and boat engine noise impact auditory physiology of the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas), a freshwater fish that is widely distributed in the North America. The results show that threshold elevation and recovery after noise exposure are frequency and exposure duration dependent. 2.
Herapathite–the first man-made polarizer

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Recent research reported earlier this year in Science has now determined the crystal structure of the salt of quinine first described by William Bird Herapath in 1852 in Philosophical Magazine and subsequently given the name 'herapathite' in his honour by the scientific community. This relatively obscure and little-known biaxial material was the forerunner of Polaroid: it exhibits the property of pleochroism, to the extent that light is almost completely absorbed along one particular principal vibration direction of the crystal structure. The story of herapathite is a fascinating one, unfolding gradually over more than 150 years and involving low temperature chemical synthesis and structure–property relationships in materials.

Clinical and radiographic outcomes following traumatic Grade 1 and 2 carotid artery injuries: a 10-year retrospective analysis from a Level I trauma center. The Parkland Carotid and Vertebral Artery Injury Survey

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

OBJECT Proper screening, management, and follow-up of Grade 1 and 2 blunt carotid artery injuries (BCIs) remains controversial. These low-grade BCIs were analyzed to define their natural history and establish a rational management plan based on lesion progression and cerebral infarction. METHODS A retrospective review of a prospectively maintained database of all blunt traumatic carotid and vertebral artery injuries treated between August 2003 and April 2013 was performed and Grade 1 and 2 BCIs were identified. Grade 1 injuries are defined as a vessel lumen stenosis of less than 25%, and Grade 2 injuries are defined as a stenosis of the vessel lumen between 25% and 50%. Demographic information, radiographic imaging, number of imaging sessions performed per individual, length of radiographic follow-up, radiographic outcome at end of follow-up, treatment(s) provided, and documentation of ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack were recorded. RESULTS One hundred seventeen Grade 1 and 2 BCIs in 100 patients were identified and available for follow-up. The mean follow-up duration was 60 days. Final imaging of Grade 1 and 2 BCIs demonstrated that 64% of cases had resolved, 13% of cases were radiographically stable, and 9% were improved, whereas 14% radiographically worsened. Of the treatments received, 54% of cases were treated with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), 31% received no treatment, and 15% received various medications and treatments, including endovascular stenting. There was 1 cerebral infarction that was thought to be related to bilateral Grade 2 BCI, which developed soon after hospital admission. CONCLUSIONS The majority of Grade 1 and 2 BCIs remained stable or improved at final follow-up. Despite a 14% rate of radiographic worsening in the Grade 1 and 2 BCIs cohort, there were no adverse clinical outcomes associated with these radiographic changes. The stroke rate was 1% in this low-grade BCIs cohort, which may be an overestimate. The use of ASA or other antiplatelet or anticoagulant medications in these low-grade BCIs did not appear to correlate with radiographic injury stability, nor with a decreased rate of cerebral infarction. Although these data suggest that these Grade 1 and 2 BCIs may require less intensive radiographic follow-up, future prospective studies are needed to make conclusive changes related to treatment and management.
The isolation and purification of surface specific proteins of somatic and reproductive protoplasts of lily and rapeseed

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The plasma membrane surface proteins of intact somatic (leaf) and reproductive (pollen, generative cell or sperm cell) protoplasts of lily ( Lilium longiflorum ) and rapeseed ( Brassica napus cv. Midas) were compared after probing with N‐hydroxysuccinimido‐ (NHS) or sulfo‐NHS‐biotin. The plasma membranes of intact protoplasts are impermeable to these biotin probes, which bind covalently to the free amino groups of surface proteins. Enzyme‐labelled streptavidin was used to detect membrane proteins after separation by SDS‐PAGE and western blotting. In lily, six proteins specific to the surface membrane of leaf protoplasts were identified varying from 25–64 kDa, three proteins to pollen protoplasts in the range 35–64 kDa and two proteins to generative cell protoplasts, 63 and 67 kDa. In rapeseed leaf protoplasts, seven proteins in the range 22–69 kDa were detected, while in the sperm enriched fraction five proteins were present in the same kDa range. The proteins identified as membrane specific for generative cell protoplasts of lily have been isolated and were used as antigens for monoclonal antibody production. Preliminary results indicate the successful production of antibodies to surface antigens. These antibodies will be used to localise surface specific epitopes which are likely to be involved in cell‐cell recognition at fertilization.

Conclusion: The Health Center as a health service provider should increase outreach to the community and maximize monitoring and improvement of nutrition together with parents of toddlers, especially in the Bone Health Center area.
In Vitro Conservation and Propagation of Dendrobium signatum Rchb.f. Collected from Chattrakarn National Park, Phitsanulok.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Three Ueng Kham Kew orchids (Dendrobium signatum Rchb.f.) growing on Plerocapus sp. and Dipterocarpus sp. at the height 8-15 meters have been found on the 3-kmlength natural route survey of Chattrakan Waterfall National Park. Cultivating the seeds with Vacin and Went (1949) and studying the effect of hormone NAA at concentrations of 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2 .0ppm and hormone BA at concentrations of 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 ppm on the growth of the orchids for 4 months was carried out. It was found that an application of 1.5 ppm NAA and 0.5 ppm BA showed the maximum number of buds (5.70). Ueng kham kew orchids showed the highest number of leaves (16.50), height (5.47cm) and number of roots (15) when treated with 1 ppm NAA and 0.5 ppm BA. The concentration of 2 ppm NAA without BA yielded root-length of 6.05 cm. In addition, the study of appropriate orchid-supporters shows that the orchids grown on coconut shell have the highest survival percentage at 85 %.

Linear-Time One-Class Classification with Repeated Element-Wise Folding

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper proposes an easy-to-use method for one-class classification: Repeated Element-wise Folding (REF). The algorithm consists of repeatedly standardizing and applying an element-wise folding operation on the one-class training data. Equivalent mappings are performed on unknown test items and the classification prediction is based on the item's distance to the origin of the final distribution. As all the included operations have linear time complexity, the proposed algorithm provides a linear-time alternative for the commonly used computationally much more demanding approaches. Furthermore, REF can avoid the challenges of hyperparameter setting in one-class classification by providing robust default settings. The experiments show that the proposed method can produce similar classification performance or even outperform the more complex algorithms on various benchmark datasets. Matlab codes for REF are publicly available at https://github.com/JenniRaitoharju/REF.

Distinct trajectories of city growth, city shrinkage and development in the Iranian province of Khuzestan

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

In Iran, as in other developing countries, the existence of shrinking cities has been observed. In the case of 13 medium-sized cities in Khuzestan province in 1977–2011, demographic growth trends differ widely, but there was no significant overall relationship between urban population growth and employment, activity development or indeed with indicators of social environmental and ecological development in these cities. Demographic growth is principally a result of natural increase and intra-regional rural–urban migration in a geopolitically important but relatively disadvantaged border province that suffers from net outmigration and the devastating effects of the Iran–Iraq War on the distribution of the population, infrastructure and important economic centres, and ports such as Abadan.
Optimization of the fatigue strength of materials due to shot peening : A survey

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Imparting residual compressive stresses in the surface layers of metallic components is one of the ways to improve their fatigue strength characteristics. Shot peening is employed for imparting residual stresses by means of cold work. Shot peening is a complex random process with many input variables. The material responses include residual stresses, cold work, surface roughness, micro-cracks and micro-structure changes. To obtain the maximum fatigue strength, the designer needs to consider both favorable and detrimental aspects of these responses together. The prediction of the responses from the input parameters involves many methods spanning across multiple-disciplines such as plasticity, fracture, optimization etc. The paper presents an overview of the studies that predict the various material responses and suggests a method based on continuum mechanics in order to optimize the fatigue strength of any material.

The other 28 served as controls.Good hemostasis was obtained with MCH. It was very useful in 4 patients, useful in 15, and indefinite in 4. There were no differences in the duration of infusion or fever between the MCH group and the control group.In the MCH group there was no postoperative fever and no side effects.In some cases MCH was applied to the open wound, and wound healing was accelerated.
A Novel Insight into the Immunologic Basis of Chronic Granulomatous Invasive Fungal Rhinosinusitis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background Chronic granulomatous invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (CGIFRS) is a rare disease. The underlying immune responses that drive the development of CGIFRS, as opposed to successful pathogen clearance and controlled inflammation, are not currently known. Objective To characterize the immune responses associated with CGIFRS. Methods In addition to a battery of basic investigations, more in-depth immunologic testing involves ex vivo whole-blood stimulation with the polyclonal T-cell mitogen phytohemagglutinin and fungal antigens with interleukin (IL) 12, was undertaken to investigate cell-mediated immune responses associated with CGIFRS. Results Ex vivo whole-blood stimulation with the polyclonal T-cell mitogen phytohemagglutinin and fungal antigens with IL-12 identified reduced interferon gamma and increased IL-17A levels within the supernatant, which indicated increased in vivo T-helper (Th)17 responses and impaired Th1 responses compared with healthy controls. Conclusion These findings suggest that the development of CGIFRS may be associated with an abnormally exaggerated host Th17 response, which caused failure to clear the fungal pathogen with refractory fungal infection of mucosal membranes, resulting in chronic tissue inflammation.
[The determination of hepatitis A antibodies in epidemiological practice].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Epidemiological analysis of hepatitis A morbidity in a city with the population of 500,000 persons in 1960-1987 was carried out. Three periods of morbidity rises among children aged 3-6 years and 7-14 years and living at the same areas (microdistricts) were established. Blood sera from healthy children were tested for the presence of antibodies to hepatitis A in enzyme immunoassay. The data on the sanitary and bacteriological study of tap water were analyzed. Unsatisfactory results of water analysis in different microdistricts correlated with the presence of antibodies in the population of these microregions and with the average morbidity indices for many years.
