Arthropod fauna of mammal-pollinated Protea humiflora: Ants as an attractant for insectivore pollinators?

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Protea humiflora Andrews inflorescences are cryptic, but strongly scented and borne close to the ground (geoflorous) for ready access by small, non-flying mammals. During a study of P. humiflora pollination, we found that insectivorous elephant shrews (Macroscelididae: Elephantulus edwardii (A. Smith)) carried higher pollen loads on their snouts than simultaneously-trapped rodent species. Elephant shrews seem to be acquiring pollen while foraging for insects in the inflorescences. Compared with the larger bird-pollinated inflorescences of P. repens (L.) L., P. humiflora inflorescences have a substantially lower mass of arthropods, relatively fewer beetles (12% of arthropod dry mass) and more ants (13%). The large numbers of ants in these inflorescences may attract insectivore pollinators, suggesting an indirect, mutualistic relationship between plant, insect and insectivore.
Mapping of Agrobacterium tumefaciens chromosomal genes affecting cellulose synthesis and bacterial attachment to host cells.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Six chromosomal transposon mutations in Agrobacterium tumefaciens which result in an inability to synthesize cellulose fibrils were mapped to the vicinity of trp-2 and met-6. Mutations which result in an inability to attach to plant cells, attC43 and attC69, also mapped in this region, as did one Tn5 mutation which caused overproduction of cellulose. Another cellulose overproduction mutation mapped at a distance and was closely linked to ilv-13. The results suggest that there is a region of the A. tumefaciens chromosome located near met-6 which is concerned with the interaction of the bacterium with the host cell surface.

Adenosine 3', 5'-Monophosphate, Adenosine 3', 5'-Monophosphate-Binding Protein and Protein Kinase in Rat Adrenal Glands; Fffect of Adrenocorticotrophin

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

Concentration of adenosine 3', 5'-monophosphate (cAMP), binding activity of cAMP to protein and activities of cAMP-dependent and-independent protein kinase were determined in adrenal glands of rats treated with ACTH (Cortrosyn-Z). cAMP was increased rapidly after 6 U. ACTH injection, reached the maximum level (20-30 times the control) at 10min and returned to the control level by 120min. Hypertrophied adrenals of rats given repeated injections of 3 U. ACTH every 12hr contained a significantly higher amount of cAMP than untreated control. Treatment of animals with ACTH did not modify the activity of cAMP-binding protein throughout the experimental period. cAMP-independent activity of protein kinase was not influenced by ACTH but cAMP-dependent activity of the enzyme disappeared completely immediately after ACTH administration and a part of the activity was restored 80min after the treatment. Administration of cycloheximide prior to ACTH treatment did not disturb the effect of ACTH on cAMP formation and cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity.
The complete mitochondrial genome of the cocoa tussock moth Orgyia postica Walker, 1855 (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The high-throughput sequencing method was used for the first time to determined complete mitochondrial genome of Orgyia postica. The complete mitochondrial genome was a circular molecule with 15,258 bp in full-length, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs) and 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs). The nucleotide composition of O. postica mitogenome was A: 37.6%, C: 7.9%, G: 14.8%, T: 39.7%. In addition, the results of the phylogenetic analysis indicate that O. postica had the closest relationship with Laelia suffusa. Our study will contribute to further research on the evolution of Lymantriidae and the identification of larva species.
A modeling government revenue guarantees in privately built transportation projects: a risk-adjusted approach

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

Countries around the world have welcomed Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) as an alternative to finance infrastructure. For strategic projects with high demand uncertainty, a government may decide to provide a concessionaire with a Minimum Revenue Guarantee (MRG) to mitigate revenue risk and to help enhance the project's credit, thereby reducing the financing costs of the project. However, government revenue guarantees can pose fiscal risks to the issuing government if too many significant claims are redeemed at the same time. This undesirable circumstance can be exacerbated during an economic recession in which tax revenues are low and the costs of subsidies are potentially higher than expected. This paper presents a new model of government revenue guarantees by which revenue guarantee thresholds are adjusted over time to reflect the inter-temporal risk profiles of the project. Revenue risk is modeled using a stochastic process called the Variance Model. Then, revenue shortfalls and revenue excesses are modeled as multi-early exercise options, and priced using multi-least squares Monte Carlo method. Finally, an illustrative example of a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) highway project demonstrates how the proposed model may be applied in practice at the project evaluation stage. The proposed model may help to promote fairer risk allocation between the host government and the concessionaire.
Peripartum cardiomyopathy management-multidisciplinary approach 2011-2013 at Care Institute of Medical Sciences

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is one of the rare causes of heart failure in pregnant women. It occurs in late pregnancy or up to 5 months post-partum. It is associated with high mortality and morbidity but with chances of full recovery. This paper discusses the treatment of peripartum cardiomyopathy, Peripartum cardiomyopathy management -multidisciplinary approach. 2011-2013 at CIMS.Methods: This is an observational study conducted at CARE institute of medical sciences, CIMS, during 2011-2013 years. Women fulfilling the criteria for the diagnosis of PPCM were included in the study. In this study we have analysed the obstetric intervention, the duration of ICU stay, hospital stay, maternal and perinatal outcomes. The cardiac drugs to manage each individual case suited to her condition have been mentioned.Results: Six cases were diagnosed to have PPCM in pregnancy when there was sudden onset of shortness of breath, cough, and palpitations. Four cases had history of PPCM in previous pregnancies and were managed in the current pregnancy. One rare case had features of cardiomyopathy seen in early gestational period, during the first trimester at eight weeks, when she was treated for ectopic gestation. Patients were managed by pregnancy cardiac team. There was no case of maternal mortality.Conclusions: PPCM is a rare condition. It requires a high index of suspicion and awareness among primary care givers for early diagnosis and prompt management. A pregnancy cardiac team approach benefits this subset of patients. Delayed time of presentation, LVEF and dilated ventricle are factors determining recovery.
Simplified numerical modelling of rectangular concrete-filled steel columns, beams and beam-columns

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Because of its computational efficiency, simplified numerical modelling is the preferred method to simulate structural frames for routine design. As for concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns, fibre beam element (FBE) modelling is often used in the simplified simulation. However, the accuracy of FBE modelling is greatly affected by the accuracy of the input material models, which should directly account for the interaction between the steel tube and core concrete. In this paper, simple yet accurate material models of steel and concrete are proposed for rectangular CFST columns by utilising a large amount of numerical data generated from detailed three-dimensional finite element modelling of stub columns. The material models are then incorporated into the simplified FBE simulation of rectangular CFST columns, beams and beam-columns. The accuracy of the simplified FBE simulation is verified by a wide range of experimental results on rectangular CFST stub columns, slender columns, beams and beam-columns.

O cinema de Kurosawa: a arte total

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This work intends to present some reasons to considering Akira Kurosawa s movies as works-of-art The antithesis is given by arguments from Adomo, Horkheimer and other philosophers of the so called Frankfurt School, who wrote first against moviemaking industry，and later against its artistic possibilities. The synthesis aims to clarifying，by using Kurosawa as an example，the possibility of moviemaking to fullfill the conception of what Richard Wagner called “a total art”.
On the Nature of Meaning and Untranslatability

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The nature of meaning has long been the focus of the study of the philosophy of language. In this paper, the relationship between language and the mind is talked in a detailed way by mentioning Saussure’s account of meaning and language that people see the world according to the structure of the language they have learnt. And the development of Saussure’s idea by Sapir and Whorf, linguistic determinism and its weaker version, linguistic relativity is stated especially by relating it with the notion of untranslatability. Then an instance of a loss or distortion of translation is quoted to defend untranslatability.
Fabrication and a complete structural, optical and electrical analysis of porous germanium nanostructures embedded in a dielectric matrix: possibility of third generation solar cell applications

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

The primary goal of this thesis is to synthesize porous Ge nanostructures embedded in a dielectric matrix and perform a complete structural, optical and electrical characterization. Ge nanostructures can be a good candidate for use in third-generation solar cells, since they are alternative to Si nanostructures owing to their potentially higher photon conversion efficiencies. So far, most of the research is focused on the use of quantum dot structures in photovoltaic applications; although they provide quantum confinement of excitons, their drawback is the difficulties in electrical connection, which relies on tunneling probability through the dielectric matrix. As an alternative, we propose fabrication of porous Ge nanostructures embedded in a dielectric matrix via magnetron-sputtering technique, which is an interconnected Ge nanocrystal network where the electrical connection does not require any tunneling mechanism. We also suggest a way to preserve the quantum confinement effectby carefully tailoring the Ge content and engineering the structure of dielectric matrix.
Opportunities and combinations of chinese "Belt and Road" initiative for national economies of Southeast Asia

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Initially, the Belt and Road initiative was greeted with enthusiasm in Southeast Asia, as it made possible to support projects and bring the products from Southeast Asia to international markets. However, the overwhelming number of projects in Indonesia, Malaysia, Laos, Philippines, and Thailand are experiencing significant difficulties,and none of them has been completed. China’s main volumes of investments and loans are allocated exclusively for infrastructure projects, while serious funds are not allocated for innovative industrial facilities or IT structures. Railroads and logistics facilities will be used to export Chinese goods to these countries, import raw materials to China, or deliver local industry products. The economic feasibility and quality of investments in projects in Indonesia and Malaysia are in great doubt. Laos and Myanmar are taking loans from China to develop the railway network without developing their own industry, so these regions can only be traders of Chinese goods. These countries cannot recoup the projects at all, many of them turn out to be unfinished, and therefore the debt to China is growing. The mega-project of the South China-Southeast Asia corridor was not economically sustainable. Its economic feasibility for the participating countries (except for China itself) raises many questions.
The theatre of promiscuity : a comparative study of the dramatic writings of Wole Soyinka and Howard Barker

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The word 'artist serves as a pivot to the major concerns of this study. Consideration of its application and meaning in relation to contemporary society facilitates a detailed exploration and analysis of selected dramatic writings by Wole Soyinka and Howard Barker. The comparative nature of this work begins by charting the parallel journeys of these writers - within widely differing cultural contexts - from a critique of social determinations which serve to define and bound authorial intent to a process of "promiscuous" self-definition whereby the artistic imagination is used to name and designate a specific relationship to the cultural and social structures within which their work will be received. \n \nWorking from a theoretical base which, in the case of Soyinka, finds its foundations in critique and commentary upon nationalist discourse, and in the case of Barker, \nrests upon contemporary critiques of Enlightenment reason, the study debates their development of theatrical form within both social and cultural contexts. Emphasis is \nplaced upon the relationship of the author to the dramatic text, the creation of character and the defined channels of communication through which dramatic performance is to be received by the spectator. The concept of 'transgression' is \nexplored as a key principle by which to define the 'theatrical' as opposed to the 'social' text. \n \nChapters Four and Five link the work of Howard Barker and Wole Soyinka through the application of Nietzschean philosophy, with especial emphasis being placed upon \nthe concept of genealogical history, the creation of the aesthetic, and the consideration of 'tragedy' as a means by which to offer resistant critique to the social \nimperative of national citizenship as a badge and boundary to identity. The formation of the 'tragic' or 'catastrophic' individual is explored through key dramatic texts, thus allowing dramatic form the status of a discourse in its own right. \n \nThroughout the study an attempt is made to develop an argument which allows the artist to be distinguished as one who speaks to his nation, rather than for his nation. \nWith regard to the work of Barker and Soyinka this has involved both the exposure and exploration of a theatrical space unmapped by social cartography, and a peopling \nof the stage with creations who could be described as 'ethical' rather than 'political' individuals.

Remembering the Stasi: The Lives of Others as a foreign past

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This article places the domestic and international reception of the German film, The Lives of Others (von Donnersmarck, 2006), within a larger debate about popular and official memory and, in particular, what has been both applauded and derided as the film’s historical authenticity. I explore the notion of sacralizing history in order to ask what broader role of witnessing, observing and remembering the former East German state the film offers to viewers outside Germany. I argue that the act of remembering the Stasi and Germany’s ‘second dictatorship’ as a sacred site of memory is part of a wider postmodern project in screen memory and posttraumatic cinema

A Case of Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma to the Posterior Paranasal Sinuses

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

We report a case of metastasis of renal cell carcinoma to the posterior paranasal sinuses. A 75-year-old man who had had a left nephrectomy six months previously due to a renal cancer, visited our hospital with a complaint of severe nasal bleeding. On examination, he had a mass in the left olfactory cleft. CT and MRI showed an abnormal shadow occupying the bilateral sphenoid sinuses with extension to the left posterior ethmoid cells. A biopsy revealed a metastatic clear cell carcinoma from the renal cancer. The patient underwent selective intraarterial embolization of bilateral maxillary arteries and left ascending pharyngeal artery, followed by the removal of the tumor using a complete rhinotomy approach. He has remained well for 15 months postoperatively without evidence of recurrence.
