Adsorption Properties of a Novel Urea Adsorbent-Pectin Copper Gel Microspheres

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Pectin copper gel microsphere was synthesized by crosslinking pectin with copper ion,and characterized by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy.The adsorption properties of pectin copper gel microsphere for urea was investigated.Several parameters including pectin concentration,copper ion concentration,adsorption time,temperature and urea concentration,which affected the adsorption properties,were studied.The results showed that the adsorption equilibrium could be established in about 7h,at 303 K.The adsorption capacity could achieved 48.63mg/g,when the concentration of urea was 400mg/L,the mass ratio of pectin was 2.5%,and the mass ratio of GuCl2 was 2.0%.It was found that Freundlich equation was applicable to the studied adsorption system.The higher and lower temperature was unfavorable for adsorption.
Traitement prédictif des informations sensorielles tactiles chez des souris engagées dans une tâche de locomotion guidée par les vibrisses

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Le cadre du traitement prédictif postule que le cerveau anticipe activement les entrées sensorielles plutôt que de simplement les traiter au fur et à mesure qu'elles lui parviennent. La manière dont ce principe s’applique au cours de sensations actives, en particulier dans le domaine tactile, reste encore largement inexplorée. Cette thèse examine les signatures neuronales mésoscopiques du traitement prédictif dans le cortex somatosensoriel primaire des vibrisses de la souris (vS1) ainsi que dans les régions pariétales associatives, lors d’une tâche de locomotion guidée par les vibrisses.Pour ce faire, nous avons combiné l’imagerie calcique à large champ par fibroscopie des neurones excitateurs des couches 2/3 avec un suivi comportemental haute résolution, en utilisant un nouveau joint optique rotatif motorisé permettant des enregistrements stables chez des animaux en libre déplacement. Les attentes tactiles ont été manipulées en modifiant systématiquement les probabilités de rencontre d’obstacles et en introduisant des indices prédictifs dans une arène spécialement conçue.Nos résultats montrent que les souris présentent des comportements prédictifs robustes, apprenant rapidement les contingences tactiles et adaptant en conséquence leurs stratégies locomotrices et vibrissales. De manière cruciale, les violations de ces prédictions induisent une activation neuronale spatiotemporellement structurée, qui ne peut être simplement expliquée par le comportement moteur. La localisation corticale de ce signal d’omission dépend de la complexité de la tâche : la violation d’une attente sensorielle simple produit une représentation « fantôme » localisée dans les colonnes correspondantes de vS1, précisément synchronisée avec le moment où le contact réel aurait dû se produire, puis se propageant vers les régions voisines du cortex pariétal postérieur. En revanche, la violation d’une règle plus abstraite, fondée sur des indices, déclenche une réponse directement dans le cortex pariétal postérieur, contournant en grande partie vS1. Par ailleurs, nous avons montré que la valeur prédictive d’un indice tactile renforçait son encodage neuronal dans vS1, et modulela stratégie vibrissale active employée pour le toucher, révélant un lien étroit entre modèles internes et sensation active.Ces résultats apportent des preuves solides en faveur d’une mise en œuvre flexible et hiérarchique du codage prédictif dans le système tactile, où le niveau cortical du signal d’erreur s’adapte aux exigences cognitives de la prédiction. Ce travail met en lumière la manière dont le cerveau construit, teste et affine activement un modèle du monde tactile à travers une interaction dynamique entre traitement neuronal et comportement, dans un contexte pertinent sur le plan comportemental.
A Method for the Efficient Management and Utilization of Large Germplasm Collections

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

To make efficient use of large germplasm collections, it is advisable to assemble a representative core collection and to evaluate the relationships among the traits studied. However, the assemblage of a core collection from very large germplasm collections is problematic. The computing resources needed to carry out genetic distance calculations and comparisons with commonly available programs is prohibitively large. The objects of this study were (i) to develop a method which assembles a core collection by maximizing the diversity (measured as mean Euclidean distance) from within groups of accessions defined by species, subspecies, and geographic origin and (ii) to test the effectiveness of the method on a collection of 20 997 annual Medicago accessions from the Australian Medicago Resource Center in Adelaide, South Australia, that had been evaluated for 27 agronomic characteristics. The method resulted in a core collection of 1705 accessions that represented 74% of the extremes of the 27 characters, indicating that the entire range of the characters was represented in most cases. Accessions representing the extremes easily could be added to the core collection. The method used requires relatively minor computing resources and should be useful to curators of large germplasm collections. To assess the relationships among the 27 measured traits, correlation coefficients of all possible combinations of traits were calculated. The most strongly associated traits were, as expected, such traits as grams of seed per plant and grams of pods per plant and indicated that some traits could be omitted from future evaluations with little loss of information, thereby increasing the efficiency with which germplasm evaluations can be carried out.
Toward Resolved Simulations of Burning Fronts in Thermonuclear X-ray Bursts

Abstract We discuss the challenges of modeling X-ray bursts in multi-dimensions, review the different calculations done to date, and discuss our new set of ongoing simulations. We also describe algorithmic improvements that may help in the future to offset some of the expense of these simulations, and describe what may be possible with exascale computing.
Increased LOH Due to Defective Sister Chromatid Cohesion Is Due Primarily to Chromosomal Aneuploidy and Not Recombination

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

Abstract Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) is an important factor in cancer, pathogenic fungi, and adaptation to changing environments. The sister chromatid cohesion process (SCC) suppresses aneuploidy and therefore whole chromosome LOH. SCC is also important to channel recombinational repair to sister chromatids, thereby preventing LOH mediated by allelic recombination. There is, however, insufficient information about the relative roles that the SCC pathway plays in the different modes of LOH. Here, we found that the cohesin mutation mcd1-1, and other mutations in SCC, differentially affect the various types of LOH. The greatest effect, by three orders of magnitude, was on whole chromosome loss (CL). In contrast, there was little increase in recombination-mediated LOH, even for telomeric markers. Some of the LOH events that were increased by SCC mutations were complex, i.e., they were the result of several chromosome transactions. Although these events were independent of POL32, the most parsimonious way to explain the formation of at least some of them was break-induced replication through the centromere. Interestingly, the mcd1-1 pol32Δ double mutant showed a significant reduction in the rate of CL in comparison with the mcd1-1 single mutant. Our results show that defects in SCC allow the formation of complex LOH events that, in turn, can promote drug or pesticide resistance in diploid microbes that are pathogenic to humans or plants.

Life History of the Pine Tip Moth, Rhyacionia adana Heinrich, in Ontario (Lepidoptera: Olethreutidae)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Infestations of Rhyacionia adana Heinrich have almost certainly been common in young pine plantations throughout southern Ontario for a number of years, but, because resultant tree damage has been confused with that of the European pine shoot moth, R. buoliana (Schiff.), the species itself has been overlooked. Although R. adana was described in 1923 (Heinrich, 1923), the seasonal history has never been worked out, and even the host plants were not recorded until 1959 (Martin, 1959). In 1957, a study program was begun to learn the life history and habits of the species in Ontario, the results of which are presented here.
Notch2 suppression mimicking changes in human pulmonary hypertension modulates Notch1 and promotes endothelial cell proliferation

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

This study demonstrates a previously unidentified role for Notch2 in the maintenance of lung vascular endothelial cell quiescence and pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH). A key novel finding is that Notch2 suppression activates Notch1 via Rb-E2F1-mediated signaling and induces proliferation and apoptosis resistance in human pulmonary artery endothelial cells. Notably, PAH patients show reduced levels of endothelial Notch2 in their pulmonary arteries, supporting Notch2 as a fundamental driver of PAH pathogenesis.
The Orphan Receptor Rev-ErbAα Activates Transcription via a Novel Response element

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

Rev-ErbA alpha (Rev-Erb) is a nuclear hormone receptor-related protein encoded on the opposite strand of the alpha-thyroid hormone receptor (TR) gene. This unusual genomic arrangement may have a regulatory role, but the conservation of human and rodent Rev-Erb amino acid sequences suggests that the protein itself has an important function, potentially as a sequence-specific transcriptional regulator. However, despite its relationship to the TR, Rev-Erb bound poorly to TR binding sites. To determine its DNA-binding specificity in an unbiased manner, Rev-Erb was synthesized in Escherichia coli, purified, and used to select specific binding-sites from libraries of random double-stranded DNA sequences. We found that Rev-Erb binds to a unique site consisting of a specific 5-bp A/T-rich sequence adjacent to a TR half-site. Rev-Erb contacts this entire asymmetric 11-bp sequence, which is the longest nonrepetitive element specifically recognized by a member of the thyroid/steroid hormone receptor superfamily, and mutations in either the A/T-rich or TR half-site regions abolished specific binding. The binding specificity of wild-type Rev-Erb was nearly identical to that of C- and N-terminally truncated forms. This binding was not enhanced by retinoid X receptor, TR, or other nuclear proteins, none of which formed heterodimers with Rev-Erb. Rev-Erb also appeared to bind to the selected site as a monomer. Furthermore, Rev-Erb activates transcription through this binding site even in the absence of exogenous ligand. Thus, Rev-Erb is a transcriptional activator whose properties differ dramatically from those of classical nuclear hormone receptors, including the TR encoded on the opposite strand of the same genomic locus.
Unique surface textures of ZnO films deposited by chemical bath deposition

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract The unique surface textures of zinc oxide (ZnO) films grown by chemical bath deposition were presented. Both the zinc concentration and ethanol content in the chemical bath were found to affect the surface texture of ZnO films significantly. At certain growth conditions, the commonly observed textures derived from ZnO hexagonal rods evolve into unique shell‐like textures. The shell‐like surface textures are entirely different from the common textures in that the shape of grains is not hexagonal but rather round. A possible mechanism for the shell‐like texture growth was discussed.

Cecilia L. Ridgeway: Framed by Gender: How Gender Inequality Persists in the Modern World

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The 20th century was marked by the rise and worldwide diffusion of liberal egalitarian social movements, cultural ideals, and bureaucratic forms. Principles of equal opportunity and non-discrimination today garner near-universal affirmation in national and international forums, and women’s free access to labour markets, educational systems, and polities is commonly regarded as a signifier of modernity and social progress. Much progress towards gender equality has indeed been made, with women almost everywhere gaining formal legal equality (e.g. voting rights) and greatly increasing their representation in major public-sphere institutions. But within these institutions—as within families—strong gender differentiation persists. And contrary to conventional modernization accounts, some forms of gender inequality are even more pronounced in affluent reputably gender-progressive societies than in poorer more traditional ones. Why is gender inequality so resilient even in the face of powerful cultural and structural forces towards equality? This is the question at the heart of Cecilia Ridgeway’s new book, Framed by Gender: Why Gender Inequality Persists in the Modern World. By deftly integrating a multilevel theoretical framework with decades of interdisciplinary research, Ridgeway constructs a compelling general account of gender’s persisting force in shaping our perceptions, behaviours, institutions, and opportunities. The book’s main argument is that the persistence of gender inequality is attributable to the ongoing primacy of gender as a frame for organizing social relations and institutions. Gender is one of the fundamental axes of social identity in the contemporary United States (along with race and age), and people rely on widely shared gender stereotypes to coordinate their work tasks and to reduce uncertainty in organizing social encounters. To buttress her arguments, Ridgeway discusses evidence from decades of research on gender beliefs and status hierarchies, including from her own experimental work that builds on the ‘expectations states’ theoretical tradition.
Toxicity of sulfide to early life stages of wild rice (Zizania palustris)

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract The sensitivity of wild rice (Zizania palustris) to sulfide is not well understood. Because sulfate in surface waters is reduced to sulfide by anaerobic bacteria in sediments and historical information indicated that 10 mg/L sulfate in Minnesota (USA) surface water reduced Z. palustris abundance, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency established 10 mg/L sulfate as a water quality criterion in 1973. A 21-d daily-renewal hydroponic study was conducted to evaluate sulfide toxicity to wild rice and the potential mitigation of sulfide toxicity by iron (Fe). The hydroponic design used hypoxic test media for seed and root exposure and aerobic headspace for the vegetative portion of the plant. Test concentrations were 0.3, 1.6, 3.1, 7.8, and 12.5 mg/L sulfide in test media with 0.8, 2.8, and 10.8 mg/L total Fe used to evaluate the impact of iron on sulfide toxicity. Visual assessments (i.e., no plants harvested) of seed activation, mesocotyl emergence, seedling survival, and phytoxicity were conducted 10 d after dark-phase exposure. Each treatment was also evaluated for time to 30% emergence (ET30), total plant biomass, root and shoot lengths, and signs of phytotoxicity at study conclusion (21 d). The results indicate that exposure of developing wild rice to sulfide at ≥3.1 mg sulfide/L in the presence of 0.8 mg/L Fe reduced mesocotyl emergence. Sulfide toxicity was mitigated by the addition of Fe at 2.8 mg/L and 10.8 mg/L relative to the control value of 0.8 mg Fe/L, demonstrating the importance of iron in mitigating sulfide toxicity to wild rice. Ultimately, determination of site-specific sulfate criteria taking into account factors that alter toxicity, including sediment Fe and organic carbon, are necessary.
