Germination of Mechanically Scarified Neoteric Switchgrass Seed

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Stand establishment from neoteric switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) seed can be hindered due to dormancy. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of mechanical scarification on germination and seedling emergence of neoteric (1- to 19-month-old) switchgrass seed. Scarification for 15 or 30 seconds in a Forsberg cylinder scarifier significantly increased 14-day germination percentage for 1- to 5-month-old seed of 5 cultivars. The magnitude of increase in seedling emergence due to scarification varied across cultivars. Four-month- and 18-month-old seed lots of 'Sunburst' and a North Dakota ecotype (NDE) exhibited significant increases in germination and seedling emergence after scarification. Scarification increased overall mean germination percentage for 3 lots of Sunburst and 2 lots of NDE by 73%. Field studies are needed to determine the usefulness of mechanical scarification as a preplant treatment for neoteric seed.
Conditions to Facilitate the Evolvability of Digital Proteins

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

A set of conditions is presented to enhance the evolvability of an artificial core memory programming system. A digital protein (CPU) composed of a sequence of digital amino acids (instructions) is considered, and a set of implementation criteria is given to maximize the functionality and evolvability of proteins. Next, for a case study, we present the basic design of an ALife system named SeMar. The design of SeMar proteins (elementary instructions and a register architecture) is optimized considering the above conditions. 1 Introduction Evolution is a transition from one self-reproducing genotype to another self-reproducing genotype. If the two genotypes are located apart in the genotype space, the transition can never happen in an appropriate waiting time, so for one species to evolve from another, both species must be connected by a sequence of species (genotypes) which are selfreproducing and slightly different from each other.

Different Complexation Behavior of a Proton Transfer Compound Obtained from Pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic Acid and Creatinine with Tl(I), Cu(II), Fe(III) and Bi(III): Synthesis, Characterization, Crystal Structures and Solution Studies

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

The different complexation methods of a proton transfer compound, (creatH)(pydcH)·H 2 O (pydcH 2 = pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid; creat = creatinine) with metal ions have been studied and formation of [(Tl(pydcH)] n (1), [(Fe(pydc)(H20)2)20x]·6H 2 O (2), [Cu(pydc)(pydcH 2 )]·2H 2 O (3) and (creatH)2[Bi(pydc)2]2'4H20 (4) are reported. The characterization was performed using IR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The Tl(I) complex [(Tl(pydcH)] n (1) obtained from (creatH)(pydcH)·H 2 O is a polymeric system, showing only the contribution of the anionic species of (creatH)(pydcH)·H 2 O to the complexation. The Fe(III) and the Cu(II) complexes [(Fe(pydc)(H20)2)20x]·6H 2 O (2) (ox = oxalate) and [Cu(pydc)(pydcH2)]·2H 2 O (3) were also obtained from (creatH)(pydcH)·H 2 O. The Bi(III) complex (creatH)2[Bi(pydc) 2 ] 2 ·4H 2 O (4) is a dimeric system, showing both contribution of the cationic and anionic fragments. The complexes 1-4 show a variety of structural features including mononuclear, binuclear, polymeric structures and unusual ligand formation. In compounds (1), (2), (3) and (4), a large number of hydrogen bonds are observed. These interactions as well as it-it stacking play an important role in the formation and stabilization of supramolecular systems in the crystal lattices. The stoichiometry and stability of the Cu(II), Tl(I) and Bi(III) complexes with (pydc)(creat) and Fe(III) with pydc-ox mixture in aqueous solution were investigated by potentiometric pH titration.

The influence of the nanowire geometry in SNSPDs

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The optimization of the nanowire geometry of superconducting single photon detector is demonstrated in this paper. A typical setting of the detection area, 10 umtimes10 um, is adopted in this experiment. With 4 nm NbN films, the falling time of the response pulse is calculated, which implies the falling time increase a lot for narrow nanowire. At the same time, the falling time also increase a little at high fill factor. At the same time, decreasing the width and increasing the fill factor will degrade the repeating rate of SNSPDs. Considering those, the SNSPDs with larger fill factor will produce high detector efficiency and without increasing the repeating rate.
REVIEW OF NURSING HOMES AND HOSTELS

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Reports on care of aged people are no novelty. Nor are the criticisms which have been directed at aged care services. The Review of Nursing Homes and Hostels and the 1986–87 Commonwealth Budget have at last provided the capacity to plan the provision of services over the next few years and to begin the process of redistributing resources away from nursing homes to a higher quality of care in less institutionalised hostel settings and community services. This paper assesses the significance of the 1986–87 Budget and identifies the areas for priority attention in achieving the proposed new directions: *the more effective planning of services; *the flexible development of the hostel concept; *the establishment of new and expanded assessment teams; *the resolution of issues relating to standards and user rights; and *the development of priorities and directions for the expansion and delivery of community services.
Domestic Travel and Regional Migration for Parathyroid Surgery Among Patients Receiving Care at Academic Medical Centers in the United States, 2012-2014

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Centralization of parathyroid surgery is a reality in the United States. Significant disparities based on race and insurance coverage exist and may hamper access to the highest-volume surgeons and hospitals. Academic medical centers with dedicated endocrine surgery programs should consider strategic initiatives to reduce disparities within their respective regions.
Antioxidant Vitamins, Oxidant Injuries and Diseases

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Over the past few decades antioxidant vitamins have been shown to aid in disease prophylaxis as well as treatment. Deficiencies of these vitamins in diets have resulted in associated deficiency syndromes in both humans and animals. Since a handful of disease conditions is associated with imbalances of antioxidant enzymes such as catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione as well as increases in reactive oxygen species (ROS), nitrogen oxide species (NOS) and lipid per-oxidation markers such as malondialdehyde, supplementation with antioxidant vitamins has resulted in amelioration of oxidative damage and ultimately disease recession. Vitamins A, C and E together with compounds such as carotenoids have been extensively studied for their roles in disease modulation or exacerbation. However, while Vitamins C and E have been shown to have immense potentials in the alleviation of several conditions, Vitamin A and especially carotenoids had shown little or no use in conditions such as cardiovascular disease and cancer prevention. This review highlights the documented roles of these vitamins in disease prevention over the past few decades and the potentials that need to be explored further.
Laboratory Diagnosis of Protozoan Diseases

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The appearance of the first edition of this comprehensive manual was indeed timely. During World War II a great many improvements were discovered and it is for this reason and the exhaustion of the first edition, that the revision was undertaken, as stated by the author. Indeed, the book contains much of historical interest as well as the more recent additions.The order of sequence is the same as previously. In part I on the intestinal amoebae and flagellates, there are a number of additional notes on morphology and on cultivation, pointing up the research on bacteria-free cultivation and nutritional requirements and the need for further investigation along these lines. The use of the complement fixation test for infections of Endamoeba histolytica has evidently increased and the author remains cautious in his advice as to the use of the test.

Assessments of the resistance of potato cultivars and breeder's clones to external mechanical damage

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Summary Twenty potato cultivars and breeder's clones were subjected to tests of external damage susceptibility at two sites. At one site tubers were, as in usual agricultural practice, lifted by mechanical harvester, and damage indices were subsequently assigned to each clone. At the other site tubers were harvested by hand on two dates. Drop tests were carried out on this material after 1 week in store and also, in the case of the laterdug (maincrop) material, after 3 months. Ranks based on damage indices were approximately as expected from previous cultivar assessments carried out by other workers. The mean drop test scores showed varying degrees of rank correlation with the damage indices. The highest correlation was with ranks obtained from the drop test on early-harvested material. It was concluded that this was because damage had been inflicted in both cases before skin curing had occurred.
Models and mechanisms in network neuroscience

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

This paper considers the way mathematical and computational models are used in network neuroscience to deliver mechanistic explanations. Two case studies are considered: Recent work on klinotaxis by Caenorhabditis elegans, and a long-standing research effort on the network basis of schizophrenia in humans. These case studies illustrate the various ways in which network, simulation, and dynamical models contribute to the aim of representing and understanding network mechanisms in the brain, and thus, of delivering mechanistic explanations. After outlining this mechanistic construal of network neuroscience, two concerns are addressed. In response to the concern that functional network models are nonexplanatory, it is argued that functional network models are in fact explanatory mechanism sketches. In response to the concern that models which emphasize a network's organization over its composition do not explain mechanistically, it is argued that this emphasis is both appropriate and consistent with the principles of mechanistic explanation. What emerges is an improved understanding of the ways in which mathematical and computational models are deployed in network neuroscience, as well as an improved conception of mechanistic explanation in general.

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Past research suggests that sustaining a young identity helps adults maintain a greater sense of well-being. The experience of subjective aging, however, is not a spontaneous phenomenon, but stems from lifelong developmental experiences. Drawing from writings on the life course and self-concept, I consider how parental death in childhood shapes subjective age in adulthood. To examine the effects of maternal and paternal death on subjective age, I employ the Midlife Development in the United States Study (MIDUS). A series of linear regression analyses indicates that maternal death during childhood is associated with an older subjective age in adulthood, death of a father does not have a similar influence on subjective age, and that the effect on subjective age is stronger if maternal death occurred during childhood than during other periods of the life course. The findings highlight interconnections between timing of transitions in the life course, linked lives, and the development of self-concept. Subjective age in adulthood seems to hinge on important biographical experiences from childhood, such as parental death, though the processes differ by the gender of the deceased parent. Although chronological age is invariably fixed to an individual, people differ
STUDY OF POPULATION GROWTH PARAMETERS OF APHIS GOSSYPII GLOVER (HEM., APHIDIDAE) ON DIFFERENT CUCUMBER CULTIVARS

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The melon aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover (Hem., Aphididae) is a cosmopolitan and polyphagous species, which is known as an important pest of cucumber. Different cultivars of a plant can influence the demographic parameters of pests. In this research, the population growth parameters of the melon aphid were studied on nine different cucumber cultivars including Isfahan, Bahman, Bonanza, Beit alpha, Talsia, Davus, Sakata, Suprina, and Yalda. The experiments were carried out in Petri dishes at 25 ± 2 °C, 65 ± 5% RH and 16L : 8D in a growth chamber. Standard errors of the population growth parameters were calculated by the Jackknife method and the data were analyzed by SPSS software. Various cucumber cultivars significantly affected the population growth parameters of A. gossypii. The net reproductive rate (R0) of the aphid varied from 47.16 to 109.78 female / female / generation which was lowest on Bonanza and highest on Sakata cultivar. The intrinsic rate of natural increase (rm) of the melon aphid were ranged from 0.4359 to 0.5320 day-1 on different cultivars. It was lowest on Bonanza and highest on Sakata, Talsia and Beit alpha cultivars. The lowest and highest values of finite rate of increase (λ) were obtained on Bonanza and Sakata cultivars, respectively. Mean generation time (T) of the aphid were varied from 8.07 to 8.97 d. The doubling time (DT) was highest on Bonanza and lowest on Sakata cultivar. The results showed that among the investigated cultivars, Bonanza was the least suitable cultivar for A. gossypii.

A human myeloma cell line that does not express immunoglobulin but yields a high frequency of antibody-secreting hybridomas.

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

Abstract We selected an 8-azaguanine-resistant variant of a human myeloma cell line (RPMI 8226) by cloning the parental cells on a feeder layer of mouse spleen cells in the presence of increasing concentrations of 8-azaguanine. Culture media and cellfree extracts of both the parental and variant (8226 AR/NIP4-1) cell lines were assayed for production of immunoglobulin heavy and light chains by double immunodiffusion and for lambda-chain by radioimmunoassay. Secretion of free lambda-chain by the parental cell line was confirmed. In contrast, no immunoglobulin heavy or light chains were detected in culture medium of the variant cell line by either immunodiffusion or radioimmunoassay. No intracellular lambda-chain could be detected in the variant cells by radioimmunoassay of cellfree extracts or by immunofluorescence of fixed cells. Hybridomas were produced by fusion of 8226AR/NIP4-1 cells with lymphocytes from a mesenteric lymph node recovered at surgery from a hypertransfused renal transplant recipient. Twenty hybrid culture supernatants were assayed for immunoglobulin by double immunodiffusion, and 15 contained either IgG (lambda) or IgG (kappa). None produced IgM or IgA. An IgG (kappa)-producing hybridoma was shown by immunofluorescence not to express lambda-chain. A second fusion between the variant cell line and spleen cells from a renal transplant patient produced a stable hybridoma secreting IgM (lambda) antibody specific for the I antigen.
Robotic-assisted versus laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy for renal transplantation: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction Renal transplantation remains the definitive treatment for end-stage renal disease. Currently employed minimally invasive techniques include robotic-assisted laparoscopy and laparoscopy. This study aims to determine whether either method provides an advantage. Methods Following PRISMA guidelines, a systematic review was conducted. Data were analysed using Review Manager 5.3. Results A total of 12 studies were included. Operative time and operative bleeding were similar between both approaches, with a mean difference (MD) of 16min (95% confidence interval (CI) −4.06, 37.38; p = 0.11) and 10.44ml (95% CI −43.89, 64.78; p = 0.71), respectively. Robotics had longer warm ischemia time (MD 1.14min; 95% CI 0.65, 1.63; p = 0.00001) but reduced length of stay (LOS) (MD −0.23days; 95% CI −0.45, −0.01; p = 0.04) and pain (MD −1.26 VAS; 95% CI −1.77, 0.75). Similar complication and conversion rates were seen among groups. Conclusions Robotic approaches provide a viable alternative to laparoscopic surgery. Operative time, bleeding volumes, complications and conversion rates are similar between both techniques; apparent robotic advantages on LOS and Pain need to be better analysed by future studies.
Nutrition and Lifestyle Recommendations for Patients Recovering from Covid-19 in Nusa Tenggara Barat Province

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Providing nutrition for COVID-19 patients is one of many actions to reduce the risk due to symptoms of COVID-19. To help meet the nutritional needs of COVID-19 cured patients, we developed a nutritional needs recommendation system and predicted nutritional needs for COVID-19 recovered patients in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia with Technique for the Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution method (TOPSIS). We use data from COVID-19 Task Force in this province along with The Indonesian Dietary Recommendations to help decide which nutrition is needed by recovered patients. The criteria used in the prototype of this system are Age Group weight 3, Vegetable Consumption weight 4, Fat Consumption weight 4, Salt & Sugar Consumption weight 2, and Sports weight 3. After cranking the two patterns used, the Pattern Preference value is obtained 1 = 0.34980639174099 and Pattern 2 = 0.65019360825901 so that the highest preference value that can be used as a recommendation is Pattern 2 with a preference value of 0.65019360825901.
SOMA 2010: Proceedings of 14th Symposium on Mediterranean Archaeology Taras Shevchenko National University of Kiev Ukraine 23-25 April 2010

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The fourteenth annual meeting of the Symposium on Mediterranean Archaeology (SOMA) was held in Kiev, Ukraine at the National University and General Association of Mediterranean Archaeology in April 2010. This event continues to provide an important opportunity for younger scholars and researchers to come together and discuss their works in a friendly and supportive atmosphere. The range of papers expands every time due to the increased importance of scientific areas of expertise. Since prehistoric times the Mediterranean has acted as a focus for interaction between groups inhabiting regions that are now studied mainly within the different sub-fields of ancient studies. In recent years the development of research techniques and analytical models of archaeological evidence have identified similar historical paths that are similar, if not, in some cases, common to these different areas of the ancient world from the West (the Iberian Peninsula) to the East (Anatolia and the Levant), from the North (Europe and the Black Sea Coast) to the South (Maghreb and Egypt). These proceedings of SOMA 14 contain papers relating to the above-mentioned topics and feature themes such maritime, trade and colonization using archaeological data collected within contexts located within the Mediterranean basin and the Ancient Near East area, chronologically ranging from Prehistoric to Medieval periods.
