Saccharomycopsis oxydans sp. nov., a new non-fermentative member in the genus Saccharomycopsis isolated from a traditional dairy product of Iran

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

A total of 21 yeast isolates were recovered as part of a research project on biodiversity of yeasts in traditional dairy products in Alborz province, Iran. Standard protocols were used to carry out phenotypic, biochemical, physiological characterization and the phylogenetic analysis of combined the D1/D2 domain of the large ribosomal subunit (26S or LSU) and ITS region sequences. Five strains represented a potential new ascomycetous yeast species. Ascospore formation was not observed in these strains, and they did not ferment the examined carbon sources. Phylogenetic analysis placed these isolates in a well-supported sub-clade in the genus Saccharomycopsis . Here, we describe this novel yeast as Saccharomycopsis oxydans sp. nov.

A study on knowledge and practices of antenatal care among pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at a tertiary care hospital, Gujarat, India

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Background: Improving maternal health is one of the eight-millennium development goals (MDGs). Since 1990, maternal deaths worldwide have dropped by 47%. This study aimed to determine the level of knowledge, attitude, and practice on ANC among pregnant women attending the antenatal clinic at a tertiary care hospital in Gujarat and their association with various sociodemographic factors.Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 384 pregnant women in their 3rd trimester attending the antenatal clinic in a tertiary care hospital of Gujarat during April 2018 to September 2018. Pretested questionnaire was used for collecting data by interview after obtaining informed consent. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 20 and Epi Info software.Results: Study reveals that about 58% women had adequate knowledge regarding ANC. It was found that almost all the variables such as age, education, occupation, parity, type of family, and socioeconomic status (SES) had a significant association with awareness about ANC. 100% women were having a positive attitude toward ANC. Around 70%, women were practicing adequately, and variables such as education and SES had a significant association with practices about ANC.Conclusions: These findings can be used to plan a health intervention program aiming to improve the maternal health practices and eventually improve the health status of the women.
Mobility and Sheet Charge in High-Electron Mobility Transistor Quantum Wells From Photon-Induced Transconductance

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

When a high electron mobility transistor is illuminated, the absorbed photons excite electron-hole pairs. The generated pairs are separated by the built in field in such a way that the electrons end up in the quantum well generating a photocurrent, while together with the holes that are swept towards the gate they generate a surface photovoltage. Here, we define photon-induced transconductance as the ratio between the surface photovoltage and the 2DEG photocurrent under identical illumination conditions. We show that this ratio directly yields the channel mobility and the 2DEG sheet charge density. The photocurrent and photovoltage may vary with the wavelength of the exciting photons. We examine and analyze optical spectra of this photon-induced transconductance obtained from an AlGaN/GaN heterostructure for a range of photon energies showing that the mobility is obtained only for excitation at photon energies above the wide bandgap energy. The method offers an optical alternative to Hall effect and to field effect mobility. Unlike Hall effect, it may be measured in the transistor itself. The only alternative that can measure mobility in the transistor itself measures field effect mobility, while the proposed method mesures the same conductivity mobility as measured by Hall effect.
Robust kernel-free quadratic surface twin support vector machine with capped $L_1$-norm distance metric

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Twin support vector machine (TSVM) is a very classical and practical classifier for pattern classification. However, the traditional TSVM has two limitations. Firstly, it uses the L_2-norm distance metric that leads to its sensitivity to outliers. Second, it needs to select the appropriate kernel function and the kernel parameters for nonlinear classification. To effectively avoid these two problems, this paper proposes a robust capped L_1-norm kernel-free quadratic surface twin support vector machine (CL_1QTSVM). The strengths of our model are briefly summarized as follows. 1) The robustness of our model is further improved by employing the capped L_1 norm distance metric. 2) Our model is a kernel-free method that avoids the time-consuming process of selecting appropriate kernel functions and kernel parameters. 3) The introduction of L_2-norm regularization term to improve the generalization ability of the model. 4) To efficiently solve the proposed model, an iterative algorithm is developed. 5) The convergence, time complexity and existence of locally optimal solutions of the developed algorithms are further discussed. Numerical experiments on numerous types of datasets validate the classification performance and robustness of the proposed model.
ERYTHROCYTE FRAGILITY IN "DOUBLE-MUSCLED" CATTLE

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Osmotic fragility of erythrocytes was determined on heparinized whole blood, sampled from a group of 95 cattle consisting of 73 normal animals from three breed groups and 22 animals showing varying degrees of the double-muscling (DM) trait. Four age groups and two sex groups were sampled from each breed group. Mean corpuscular fragility (MCF) values (the NaCl equivalence producing 50% hemolysis) were interpolated from a fragility curve derived for each animal. The DM breed group had significantly increased erythrocyte fragility as compared to the other breed groups. As animal age increased, the fragility of the erythrocytes was significantly decreased. Sex did not appear to influence erythrocyte fragility. Erythrocyte fragility was also related to the degree of phenotypic expression of the DM trait. Phenotypically extreme DM cattle had increased erythrocyte fragility as compared to phenotypically moderate- to normal-muscled animals of the DM group. Erythrocyte fragility in two of the other breed groups overlapped into the erythrocyte fragility range of the phenotypically moderate- to normal-muscled animals of the DM group, while the remaining breed group showed a decreased erythrocyte fragility. This overlapping provides adequate grounds for the rejection of the erythrocyte osmotic fragility test used in this study as a means of unequivocal identification of DM carriers in cattle. Despite the rejection of this test as a means of carrier detection, the suggestion that DM cattle may have a "generalized membrane defect" is still considered valid.

Sustaining a Traumatic Brain Injury results in familial strain due to the significant impact the injury has upon the role and function of individuals and their families at home and in the community. Using the Stress Process Model of Caregiving, a caregiver needs assessment survey was developed and conducted to better understand the needs of individuals with a Traumatic Brain Injury and their caregivers. Survey results indicate that caregivers experience many challenges including unmet needs in areas of relational supports such as maintaining relationships, long-term emotional and financial support for themselves and the survivor, and the need for a patient or caregiver advocate. Implications for future practice are presented.

Identification of lncRNA expression profiles associated with ovarian development and ageing process in mice

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

Abstract

Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) participates in various biological processes, however, neither the expression profile nor the biological role of lncRNAs in mammalian ovaries has been fully studied. In this work, the lncRNA transcriptomic analysis of postnatal mice ovaries was performed by using bulk RNA sequencing in C57BL/6 mice. A total of 5,302 lncRNAs were found in mouse ovaries, and 1836 lncRNAs were differentially expressed during the development and ageing process, of which targets were enriched in the developmental process, reproduction, etc. Developmental stage specific lncRNAs showed functions in system development, inflammatory response, myeloid leukocyte activation, etc. Moreover, a co-expression network analysis based on reproduction-related genes reveals lncRNAs that may regulate multiple mRNA targets in ovaries, including Neat1, Gm11613 and Gm43915. Two cis-acting lncRNAs, Ptgs2os and Gm14705, showed correlated expression pattern with their potential targets Ptgs2 and Aff2 respectively, and these lncRNA-mRNA pairs were conserved in mice and humans. WGCNA further identified 10 co-expressed modules with distinct expression patterns associated with ovarian development and ageing. Taken together, our results reveal a transcriptomic profile of mouse ovaries over the reproductive lifespan, providing insights into the molecular mechanisms of ovarian development and ageing.
Achieving an effective FMEA : lessons learned from a case study of the construction project

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

Purpose: The aim of the study is to investigate and to understand the practice of implementing the failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) in an organisational context. Hence, the paper explores the applicability of FMEA to the complex construction project, with an emphasis on the construction process stage of the waste water collection tank. According to the complexity of the construction of the waste water collection tank, it is particularly necessary to adopt a proactive approach to prevent failures. Methodology/approach: The paper uses a case study approach focusing on the Slovenian construction company. FMEA was applied by a team of three experts covering different perspective of the construction process. Additional data collection methods included interviews and document studies. Findings: This paper evidenced that FMEA can bring several advantages to the construction industry. It was found that a proactive approach has a potential to contribute to the construction project performance in terms of quality improvement, cost reduction as well as improving the environmental performance. In particular, this paper revealed that FMEA team, especially team leader, plays an important role in achieving an effective FMEA. Alongside the team leader, interviewees outlined the following critical success factors: education and training, selecting an appropriate team, top management support as well as integrating the FMEA in early stages of the project life cycle. Originality/value - The article presents the results of the case study conducted in an industrial context. The paper provides possible explanations and recommendations for implementing an effective FMEA in the construction industry.

Sleep‐related Breathing Disorders

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) generally refers to two separate but occasionally related entities, namely, obstructive and central sleep apnoea (OSA and CSA, respectively). For both types of apnoea, the main indication for treatment is symptom control although the safety profile of the key interventions means the threshold for starting treatment need not be high. Primary CSA is an uncommon diagnosis of exclusion, representing less than 5% of sleep clinic patients assessed for SDB. Nocturnal pulse oximetry is a useful line test given it is portable, user-friendly and most commonly used used in patients' homes without supervision. Several drugs have been investigated, attempting to exploit various pharmacological mechanisms to reduce respiratory events and/or improve symptoms. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is the cornerstone of OSA syndrome (OSAS) treatment. It is applied using a nasal or face mask, connected via tubing to an electric pump.
Human papillomavirus-35-positive bowenoid papulosis of the anogenital area and concurrent human papillomavirus-35-positive verruca with bowenoid dysplasia of the periungual area

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

• We describe a 42-year-old woman with human papillomavirus (HPV)-35-positive bowenoid papulosis in her anogenital region and HPV-35-positive verruca with bowenoid dysplasia on her right ring finger. The anogenital lesions were diagnosed 11 years before the lesion on her finger developed. We were not able to cure her bowenoid papulosis, since new lesion formation occurred continuously. As pruritus of the anogenital area was always present, scratching may have resulted in autoinoculation. The fact that a "mucosal-type" HPV, which was cloned from a cancer of the uterine cervix, was detected in a dysplastic periungual lesion seems noteworthy. Viral copy numbers appeared to be much higher in the periungual lesion, indicating that in our patient HPV-35 was able to replicate well outside the anogenital area. There are as yet insufficient data on the epidemiology of HPV-35 to conclude how common extragenital infection with HPV-35 is. (Arch Dermatol1989;125:655-659)
On quasilinear Brezis-Nirenberg type problems with weights

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

In this paper we study Brezis-Nirenberg type results for radial solutions of a quasilinear elliptic equation of the form $$ \begin{cases}-\Delta_pu= \lambda C(|x|)|u|^{p-2}u+ B(|x|) |u|^{q-2}u, \ a.e.\ x\in B_R(0)\subset\mathbb R^N,\ R>0,\\ u=0,\quad \mbox{on }\partial B_R(0), \end{cases} $$ where $\lambda\in\mathbb R$, $q\ge p>1$, $\Delta_pu=\mbox{div}(|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u)$, $B_R(0)$ denotes the ball of radius $R>0$ centered at $0$ in $\mathbb R^N$, and the weights $ B,\ C$ are appropriate positive measurable radially symmetric functions.
Efficacy and adverse events of five targeted agents in the treatment of advanced or metastatic non‐small‐cell lung cancer: A network meta‐analysis of nine eligible randomized controlled trials involving 5,059 patients

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Recently, targeted agents were reported to improve overall survival, progression‐free survival (PFS), response rate, and quality of life compared with cytotoxic chemotherapies, which provides hope for the treatment of non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The network meta‐analysis is applied to compare the efficacies and adverse events of five targeted agents (erlotinib, gefitinib, vandetanib, dacomitinib, and icotinib) for advanced or metastatic NSCLC. Nine eligible randomized controlled trials from PubMed and Cochrane Library database were included. Weighted mean difference, odds ratio, and surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) values were evaluated for the efficacy and adverse events of the five targeted agents in the treatment of NSCLC. With regard to efficacy, the overall response rate (ORR) of advanced or metastatic NSCLC patients treated with gefitinib was relatively higher than those treated with placebo. Compared with patients treated with placebo, the disease control rate (DCR) of patients treated with erlotinib and with gefitinib was relatively higher. Furthermore, in terms of PFS and DCR, the SUCRA value of icotinib was the highest among the five targeted drugs. With regard to ORR, the SUCRA value of gefitinib was the highest among the five targeted drugs. In terms of fatigue, rash, and cough, erlotinib had the lowest SUCRA value, whereas vandetanib exhibited the lowest SUCRA value in terms of diarrhea. Our study suggests that the efficacies of gefitinib and icotinib for advanced or metastatic NSCLC were comparatively better, whereas the toxicities of erlotinib and vandetanib were relatively greater.
Digital goes analog

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

If we continue to increase the complexity of ICs at the same pace as we did from 1960 onwards, this complexity will have reached a level of half a billion transistors per chip, within a decade from now. And the clock period is 'expected' to be well below the one nanosecond. Even if we don't believe these excessive numbers, design styles and methods need to be changed to fully exploit the potentials of IC complexity and performance, as predicted by the Semiconductor Industrial Association (SIA) roadmap. In this paper the consequences for deep-submicron IC design will be discussed, with focus on future trends of power, speed, reliability and signal integrity. The increasing dominance of physical effects that create interference and noise in VLSI designs, more and more requires analog measures to limit their influence.
Ephrem’S Doctrine Of God

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Ephrem the Syrian (ca. 306-373ce) was one of the most prolific of early Syriac Christian authors, and arguably the most influential: his symbolic theology with its rich imagery shaped Syriac Christianity for centuries to come. Ephrem's extant works fall into three groups, namely prose works, metrical treatises, and poetry. Ephrem formulated his doctrine of God to a significant extent with apologetic purposes in mind, and therefore the notion of God embraced by his opponents is outlined briefly in this chapter. The chapter then addresses Ephrem's conviction that God is both hidden and revealed, his epistemology, and his understanding of the function and limit of theological language about God. Next, Ephrem's theology of names, which stands at the center of his notion of God, is discussed in some detail, as will be several of his more prominent metaphors for God. Finally, Ephrem's trinitarian thought is addressed. Keywords: doctrine of God; Ephrem the Syrian; metrical treatises; Syriac Christianity; theological language
Left Branch Extraction in Fragment and Truncated Cleft Constructions of Korean

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This paper investigates into fragment and truncated cleft (or subjectless copular verb clause) constructions in Korean by employing the alleged diagnostics of left branch extraction (LBE). We argue that LBE in these two constructions provide compelling evidence that the fragment expression in the former is derived from Move and Delete, but the fragment-like expression in the latter is simply a base-generated predicate that takes the covert subject pro as its subject. To support this argument, we also used other syntactic tests such as tense realization, predication, and the structural restriction on fragmenting/stripping.
THE NEW HORIZONS SOLAR WIND AROUND PLUTO (SWAP) OBSERVATIONS OF THE SOLAR WIND FROM 11–33 au

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

ABSTRACT The Solar Wind Around Pluto (SWAP) instrument on National Aeronautics and Space Administration's New Horizons Pluto mission has collected solar wind observations en route from Earth to Pluto, and these observations continue beyond Pluto. Few missions have explored the solar wind in the outer heliosphere making this dataset a critical addition to the field. We created a forward model of SWAP count rates, which includes a comprehensive instrument response function based on laboratory and flight calibrations. By fitting the count rates with this model, the proton density ( n ), speed ( V ), and temperature ( T ) parameters are determined. Comparisons between SWAP parameters and both propagated 1 au observations and prior Voyager 2 observations indicate consistency in both the range and mean wind values. These comparisons as well as our additional findings confirm that small and midsized solar wind structures are worn down with increasing distance due to dynamic interaction of parcels of wind with different speed. For instance, the T – V relationship steepens, as the range in V is limited more than the range in T with distance. At times the T – V correlation clearly breaks down beyond 20 au, which may indicate wind currently expanding and cooling may have an elevated T reflecting prior heating and compression in the inner heliosphere. The power of wind parameters at shorter periodicities decreases with distance as the longer periodicities strengthen. The solar rotation periodicity is present in temperature beyond 20 au indicating the observed parcel temperature may reflect not only current heating or cooling, but also heating occurring closer to the Sun.
