Iron and Zinc Homeostasis and Interactions: Does Enteric Zinc Excretion Cross-Talk with Intestinal Iron Absorption?

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

Iron and zinc are essential micronutrients required for growth and health. Deficiencies of these nutrients are highly prevalent among populations, but can be alleviated by supplementation and food fortification. Cross-sectional studies in humans showed positive association of serum zinc levels with hemoglobin and markers of iron status. Dietary restriction of zinc or intestinal specific conditional knock out of ZIP4 (SLC39A4), an intestinal zinc transporter, in experimental animals demonstrated iron deficiency anemia and tissue iron accumulation. Similarly, increased iron accumulation has been observed in cultured cells exposed to zinc deficient media. These results together suggest a potential role of zinc in modulating intestinal iron absorption and mobilization from tissues. Studies in intestinal cell culture models demonstrate that zinc induces iron uptake and transcellular transport via induction of divalent metal iron transporter-1 (DMT1) and ferroportin (FPN1) expression, respectively. It is interesting to note that intestinal cells are exposed to very high levels of zinc through pancreatic secretions, which is a major route of zinc excretion from the body. Therefore, zinc appears to be modulating the iron metabolism possibly via regulating the DMT1 and FPN1 levels. Herein we critically reviewed the available evidence to hypothesize novel mechanism of Zinc-DMT1/FPN1 axis in regulating intestinal iron absorption and tissue iron accumulation to facilitate future research aimed at understanding the yet elusive mechanisms of iron and zinc interactions.

Measuring equipment and measurements of adhesive force between gold electrical contacts

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This paper describes the apparatus to measure adhesive force between electrical contacts with micro-sliding and the measurements of adhesive force between gold electrical contacts by this measuring equipment. The electrical contact that is concerned in this paper is mounted on a cantilever supporting arm in a small electromagnetic relay. A straight back-and-forth sliding motion occurs on closed contacts when a relay suffers from an externally applied shock, or on contact follow of closing contact operation. Therefore, this apparatus is designed to give a straight back-and-forth sliding motion to closed electrical contacts. We investigated the measuring accuracy of this apparatus and measured the adhesive force between gold electrical contacts. The following results have been confirmed. (1) The error in determination of contact force from 19.6/spl times/10/sup -3/ N to 1.47 N is less than 1%. (2) The error in measurement of adhesive force from 9.8/spl times/10/sup -3/ N to 1.47 N is less than 1%. (3) At gold contacts under conditions of contact force (0.1/spl sim/0.5 N), and the number (1/spl sim/20 times) and the length (50 /spl mu/m and 100 /spl mu/m) of straight back-and-forth sliding motion, the adhesive force measured by this apparatus has been illustrated to be influenced by the contact force, and the number and the length of sliding motion.
Role of the Media in Combating the Obnoxious Trend of Human Trafficking in Nigeria

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Human trafficking is one of the many other types of neo-slavery where people are lured, tricked or forced to work against their will for the enrichment of others.It has become a serious socio-economic problem with grave national and international implications.Every year, countless number of men, women and children are trafficked illegally all over the world.It is perhaps the most devastating physical and psychological trauma experienced by men, women and children of all ages.Unarguably, the media have been playing a formidable role in the effort to combat the obnoxious trend of human trafficking.Anchoring on the agenda-setting theory as well as survey research methodology approach, the study critically examines the indispensable role of the media in the effort to address the issue of human trafficking; while at the same time assessing audience respond to media coverage on the issue, focusing on Amassoma Community in Bayelsa State.Findings reveal, among others, that the prevailing economic condition of the country has a lot to do with causes of human trafficking.The paper concludes that the media have contributed so much in sensitizing the people about the scourge of human trafficking; thus widening their knowledge and understanding of its root causes.However, to help prevent the media outlets from becoming a conduit for the exploitation of people through their advertising for jobs and other services, the study also advances very useful recommendations.
Frequency Control of an Oscillatory Reaction by Reversible Binding of an Autocatalyst

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

We demonstrate a novel mechanism for controlling the frequency, amplitude, and existence of chemical oscillations. Using a ferrocyanide-iodate-sulfite reaction, we show that a chemical buffer can increase or decrease the frequency of oscillations. Furthermore, the same buffer can completely suppress or, conversely, induce oscillations when added to the appropriate composition. This simple buffering scheme can provide a practical method for controlling the oscillations of a variety of chemical and biological systems.
Attraction and Development of Ips Bark Beetle Populations in Artificially Infested Pine Bolts Exposed on Firetowers and Turntables in Florida

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The rapid buildup of Ips bark beetle populations in suitable host material has been investigated by several workers. Among these, Anderson (1948) first noted that Ips pini (Say) adults were not strongly attracted to uninfested host logs. After a few beetles had entered these logs, the logs then became attractive to other I. pini of both sexes. Anderson further observed that only males newly established in the inner bark attracted other males and females. Wood and Vite (1961) found a similar pattern of behavior in Ips confusus, (Le Conte). The studies presented here concern some of the characteristics of attraction and population development in Florida Ips species.
Preliminary Experiment for Mentally Supporting Rehabilitation Robot based on Emotion Estimation

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

These days, many rehabilitation robots that support patients physically or mentally are being proposed. The robots that offer physical support are used as treatment to improve the physical condition such as weakness or lack of muscles by estimating and changing dynamic control depending on the muscle status. These robots are successfully supporting the patient. However, control of the robot based on the patient's emotion such as depression and stress is more difficult than to support the patient physically. One of the problems comes from the lack of the clear relation between accurate detection of emotion such as depression and stress, and successful control of the robot. To solve this problem, we firstly try to measure the relation between the control of the rehabilitation robot and the dynamic change in the patient's emotion. We propose a method to control the rehabilitation robot based on the user's mental status. We evaluated the emotions of the person operating the rehabilitation robot using an index to estimate their mental state from heart rate variability (HRV). HRV is used to measure the valence, an index of pleasure. We conducted an experiment in which the participants were directed to control the rehabilitation robot with three different levels of pushing force required to operate the robot. From the results, we confirmed that the emotion of the participants had significantly changed depending on the load applied to the robot.
An innovative approach to the use of intermediaries : lessons from Zimbabwe

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Zimbabwe has followed the South African initiative of introducing an intermediary into the court to assist child witnesses with testifying. However, it has made certain unique adaptations to the system by training interpreters to act as intermediaries and using infrastructures that already exist within the Department of Justice. As part of a Masters research, the intermediary system in Zimbabwe was investigated to determine its efficacy.
On the compatibility of relativistic wave equations in Riemann–Cartan spaces. II

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

In a Riemann–Cartan space-time U4 the minimally coupled massive spin-S Dirac equations are subject to constraints for all S&gt; 1/2 . One may seek to modify these equations by the inclusion of appropriate supplementary terms α̂, β̂ (indices suppressed) in such a way that the modified equations are unconstrained. This is done here explicitly in the case where the field spinors are ξν1⋅⋅⋅νn and ημ̇ν1⋅⋅⋅νn−1, with n=2S. The spin-1 tensor equations, i.e., the minimally coupled Proca equations, are transcribed into spinorial form. The explicit expressions for α̂ and β̂ that so appear are in harmony with those already obtained. The freedom to choose α̂ to be a zero spinor is shown to be circumscribed. Finally, it is pointed out that whether the unconstrained (spin-1) equations are minimally coupled or not depends on whether one chooses to write them as tensor or spinor equations.
[FGFR1-mutated B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia transforming to myelodysplastic / myeloproliferative neoplasm and acute myeloid leukemia].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A 77-year-old male with hyperleukocytosis and thrombocytopenia was diagnosed with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) -negative B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) ; he was treated with induction chemotherapy. Despite an initial complete remission, hyperleukocytosis was returned 18 months later. A bone marrow smear revealed a substantial increase in the number of myeloid cells with each stage of differentiation, which was markedly different from the initial presentation, resulting in the diagnosis of Ph-negative myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasm (MDS/MPN). After a month, an autopsy revealed that the disease had progressed to acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Since the first diagnosis, a chromosomal translocation, t (8;13) (p12;q12), was identified; this was subsequently confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis to comprise a genomic rearrangement of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) gene. Collectively, this is a rare case of a myeloid/lymphoid neoplasm with an FGFR1 genomic rearrangement that initially presented as B-cell ALL, before developing into MDS/MPN and finally into AML. In the literature, although a transformation of MPN into ALL is often reported, the transformation of B-cell ALL into MPN is an infrequent event.

Accuracy Evaluation of Surface-Based Registration Methods in a Computer Navigation System for Hip Surgery Performed Through a Posterolateral Approach

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Many computer navigation systems have recently been developed for brain surgery, and the use of such systems in orthopedic surgery is increasing. Intraoperative registration of preoperative images is one of the most important steps in controlling the overall accuracy of computer navigation systems. Various parameters, such as CT-scan slice thickness, reconstruction pitch, intraoperative data sampling area, and data sampling volume, may affect the accuracy of registration. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the aforementioned parameters on the accuracy of registration for hip surgery performed through a posterolateral approach, and to find a clinically suitable trade-off between accuracy and surgical invasiveness.Materials and Methods: One cadaveric pelvis and one cadaveric femur were used for this study. Four alumina ceramic balls with a diameter of 28 mm and within 1 micrometer of sphericity were attached to the pelvis, and three similar balls attached to the femur, to determine relative position. CT-scan images of the pelvis and femur were obtained with a helical scanner. Three sets of slice thickness and slice pitch were chosen for data acquisition, and two additional sets of reconstructed data were made. Bone contours were extracted by cutting out the surrounding substrate at a given CT number threshold, and surface models of the bone were made from the resultant data. The positions of the pelvis and femur were tracked by LED markers attached to the bone using an optical three-dimensional position sensor (OPTOTRAK). Registration of the computer models to the real objects was performed by measuring the position of a certain number of surface points on each object with an OPTOTRAK pen-probe.Results and Conclusion: Slice thickness and reconstruction pitch affected the accuracy of registration. As the sampling area was expanded from the periarticular area to the distant peripheral area, accuracy increased slightly. Accuracy did not increase when the whole area was used, but in fact decreased, especially in the femur. The positive effect of increasing the number of sampling points was saturated at 30 points when the surface of the periarticular area was sampled. The following trade-off between accuracy and invasiveness, in terms of various parameters of preoperative and intraoperative data, is proposed as clinically optimal: perform the CT scan with 3-mm slice thickness and 1-mm reconstruction pitch, and sample the periarticular area with 30 sampling points. With these parameters, the accuracy of registration was 1.2 mm and 0.9 degrees of bias with 0.7 mm and 0.3 degrees of RMS in the pelvis, and 1.4 mm and 0.6 degrees of bias with 1.3 mm and 0.3 degrees of RMS in the femur.
[A case of complete response after treatment with UFT and leucovorin for synchronous multiple liver metastases of rectal cancer].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The patient was a 55-year-old female who had multiple liver metastases of rectal cancer. This patient underwent hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy after low anterior resection for rectal cancer. Hepatic arterial infusion was discontinued due to severe diarrhea, and the administration of UFT (300 mg/day) and LV(75 mg/day) was then begun. The carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level was normalized immediately after the start of this administration. One year later, liver metastases disappeared on computed tomography (CT) and a complete response (CR) was achieved. No adverse events were noted, and CR was maintained for 2 years. This therapy can serve as one of the chemotherapies for advanced colorectal cancer.
Background

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Chapter 2 provides an overview of the chronological background of cross-cultural pragmatics. We argue that cross-cultural pragmatics cannot be traced back to a single academic tradition but rather it is an outcome of the confluence of various strands of academic inquiry, spanning speech act theory, to discourse analysis and to contrastive linguistics. We also discuss the ground-breaking Cross-Cultural Speech Act Realization Project (CCSARP), which represents a cornerstone in the development of cross-cultural pragmatics. We devote particular attention to the research methodologies that the CCSARP Project deployed. We argue that while the methodological framework of the CCSARP Project has been subject to major criticisms, it laid down the foundations of what we define as dual contrastive and ancillary research in our cross-cultural pragmatic framework. In Chapter 2, we also discuss the current state of the field and the reason why this book is needed to fill a knowledge gap.

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Purpose : To examine the effects of the Situated Game Teaching through Set Plays (SGTSP) curricular model on secondary school students’ soccer skills and game performance during a 10-lesson unit. Methods : A quasi-experimental design with/without a repeated measure was used to examine the effectiveness of the SGTSP model in comparison with a technique-focused approach. A convenient sample of 27 sixth graders from two classes participated in this study. Classes were randomly assigned to conditions. Data were collected from soccer skill tests and game performance coding instrument. Analysis of variance with or without a repeated measure was conducted to analyze the data. Results : Participants’ ball controlling skill significantly improved for both groups over time. Their shooting and dribbling skills did not improve for both groups over time. No statistical differences were found in participants’ changes in ball controlling, shooting, and dribbling skills over time between the two conditions. Participants in the SGTSP condition had better offensive off the ball, offensive with the ball, overall offensive decision making, and overall decision making than those in the comparison condition. Conclusions : The findings provided initial evidence supporting the effectiveness of the SGTSP model on developing students’ decision making in the game plays. Participants taught by SGTSP had similar skill performance as those taught by a technique-focused approach.
Earth Planets Space, 56, 649–661, 2004 Alfven wave modulation of the auroral acceleration region

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We consider the interaction of Alfven waves with the auroral acceleration region (AAR). The AAR is character-ized by an electric potential drop that supports a field-aligned upward current and the acceleration of precipitating electrons. An Alfven wave incident on the AAR from the magnetosphere partially reflects back and partially pen-etrates into the AAR. The rate of wave reflection/transmission is estimated to be critically dependent on the wave transverse scale. Magnetospheric Alfven waves penetrating into the AAR can produce oscillatory variations of the field-aligned potential drop, thus constituting a new mechanism of ULF modulation of electron acceleration. Esti-mates of the potential drop modulation by Alfven waves are provided within the “thin ” AAR approximation, which is valid for a wide range of wave and plasma parameters. The proposed mechanism will produce nearly simulta-neous ULF magnetic and riometric variations at auroral latitudes. Occurrence of the AAR-associated resonator in the auroral topside ionosphere between the bottom boundary of the AAR and the E-layer may cause oscillatory frequency dependence of electron acceleration modulations in the range around fractions of a Hz. Another feature of the mechanism considered is the critical dependence of the ratio between the magnetic and riometric signals on the transverse scale of the disturbance. The predicted effects are to be searched for in the simultaneous data of IRIS multi-beam riometers and magnetometers. Key words: Pulsating aurora, ULF waves, riometers, electron acceleration. 1.
Factors affecting adoption of organic fertilizer production among the cattle farmers in Bogura district of Bangladesh

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Organic fertilizer production from cattle waste lessens environmental damage and improves the standard of living of cattle farmers through uncovering additional income sources. Majority of the cattle farmers in Bangladesh either are unaware about eco-friendly farming, or they fail to comprehend the potentials of utilizing cattle waste as organic fertilizer. This study aims to determine the socio-economic and farm-level factors that influence the farmers to produce organic fertilizer from cattle waste. From four rural villages in Bogura district of Bangladesh, 84 households who rear cattle were selected randomly, and then interviewed following a well-structured survey schedule. Descriptive statistics and binary logit model were used to analyze the data. It was evident that, 71% of the selected cattle farmers adopted organic fertilizer production. Minimum socioeconomic differences were observed among the cattle rearing households. Six explanatory variables namely education of the household head, farming experience, risk perception, cattle rearing subsidy, access to internet, and farm’s distance from the nearest extension office were found to have significant influence towards farmer’s adoption of organic fertilizer production. For ensuring sustainable adoption, farmers should be made aware regarding green farming through proper on field training and frequent campaigns. In addition, continuous subsidy along with logistic support from both government and non-government organizations must be ensured to encourage the farmers towards organic fertilizer production. J.
