Deep‐sea tardigrades in the northern Gulf of Mexico with a description of a new species of Coronarctidae (Tardigrada: Arthrotardigrada), Coronarctus mexicus

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

During May and June 2000, for the first time, benthic samples were collected from 43 stations in the northern Gulf of Mexico deep sea that included seven transects along the northern continental slope and abyssal plain ranging in depth from 625 to 3159m. A total of 54 tardigrades (36 identified) were extracted from samples, ranging in depth from 625 to 3150m. Collected tardigrades belong to five genera and represented eight species, Angursa bicuspis abyssalis (two specimens from 1401 and 2020m depth), four species of Coronarctus (29 specimens from 625 to 3159m depth), Euclavarctus convergens (one specimen from 2743m depth), E. thieli (one specimen from 2635m depth), Proclavarctus sp. (one specimen from 2600m depth), Styraconyx sp. (two specimens from 1565 and 2600m depth). The most abundant genus was Coronarctus (80.5% of identified species) and was present in most areas sampled with the exception of the central and Mississippi trough regions and comprised four species, Coronarctus laubieri (15 specimens), C. stylisetus (one specimen), C. disparilis (three specimens) and a new species C. mexicus (10 specimens). Tardigrades were mostly found in the western regions (NW, W, WC) and in deep waters, 2290m average depth. Analyses of tardigrade and depth collected gave a slight positive correlation (R2=0.029), while analyses of tardigrade and degrees longitude resulted in a slight negative correlation (R2=0.022). © 2011 Blackwell Verlag GmbH.
Renal Medullary MicroRNAs in Dahl Salt-Sensitive Rats

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

MicroRNAs are endogenous repressors of gene expression. We examined microRNAs in the renal medulla of Dahl salt-sensitive rats and consomic SS-13 BN rats. Salt-induced hypertension and renal injury in Dahl salt-sensitive rats, particularly medullary interstitial fibrosis, have been shown previously to be substantially attenuated in SS-13 BN rats. Of 377 microRNAs examined, 5 were found to be differentially expressed between Dahl salt-sensitive rats and consomic SS-13 BN rats receiving a high-salt diet. Real-time PCR analysis demonstrated that high-salt diets induced substantial upregulation of miR-29b in the renal medulla of SS-13 BN rats but not in SS rats. miR-29b was predicted to regulate 20 collagen genes, matrix metalloproteinase 2 ( Mmp2 ), integrin β1 ( Itgb1 ), and other genes related to the extracellular matrix. Expression of 9 collagen genes and Mmp2 was upregulated by a high-salt diet in the renal medulla of SS rats, but not in SS-13 BN rats, an expression pattern opposite to miR-29b. Knockdown of miR-29b in the kidneys of SS-13 BN rats resulted in upregulation of several collagen genes. miR-29b reduced expression levels of several collagen genes and Itgb1 in cultured rat renal medullary epithelial cells. Moreover, miR-29b suppressed the activity of luciferase when the reporter gene was linked to a 3′-untranslated segment of collagen genes Col1a1 , Col3a1 , Col4a1 , Col5a1 , Col5a2 , Col5a3 , Col7a1 , Col8a1 , Mmp2 , or Itgb1 but not Col12a1 . The result demonstrated broad effects of miR-29b on a large number of collagens and genes related to the extracellular matrix and suggested involvement of miR-29b in the protection from renal medullary injury in SS-13 BN rats.

SNAP-25 is essential for cortical granule exocytosis in mouse eggs

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

Synaptosome-associated protein of 25 kDa (SNAP-25) has been shown to play an important role in Ca 2+ -dependent exocytosis in neurons and endocrine cells. During fertilization, sperm-egg fusion induces cytosolic Ca 2+ mobilization and subsequently Ca 2+ -dependent cortical granule (CG) exocytosis in eggs. However, it is not yet clear whether SNAP-25 is involved in this process. In this study, we determined the expression and function of SNAP-25 in mouse eggs. mRNA and SNAP-25 were detected in metaphase II (MII) mouse eggs by RT-PCR and immunoblot analysis, respectively. Next, to determine the function of SNAP-25, we evaluated the change in CG exocytosis with a membrane dye, tetramethylammonium-1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene, after microinjection of a botulinum neurotoxin A (BoNT/A), which selectively cleaves SNAP-25 in MII eggs. Sperm-induced CG exocytosis was significantly inhibited in the BoNT/A-treated eggs. The inhibition was attenuated by coinjection of SNAP-25. These results suggest that SNAP-25 may be involved in Ca 2+ -dependent CG exocytosis during fertilization in mouse eggs.

Experimental and Analytical Study on Local Failure of Structure Subjected to High Temperature and Pressure

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract In our past paper, the new fracture surface was proposed considering the effects of hydrostatic stress in an elastic-plastic region and in a creep region. In this paper, the mechanism the dominant factors of local failure were studied in an elastic-plastic region. Experimental and analytical study were made using circular plate specimens with a nozzle. The material was a lead alloy (99% Pb-1% Sb). The fracture test was performed in an elastic-plastic region at room temperature. Both ductile fracture and local failure were observed at structural discontinuities, based on the stiffness differences between attached nozzles and plates. In this study, the proposed fracture surface in an elastic-plastic region showed the fracture location accurately, for the both failure modes. It was concluded that the proposed fracture surface is available and useful in order to predict the failure mode and the failure location.
ARE PESTICIDES RELATED TO PARKINSON’S DISEASE? SOME CLUES TO HETEROGENEITY IN STUDY RESULTS

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background and Aims: Previous systematic reviews have indicated that pesticide exposure is possibly associated with Parkinson's disease. However, large heterogeneity has been observed in study results. We aimed at providing an update of the literature published on Parkinson's disease and exposure to pesticides, by performing a systematic review and meta-analysis. In addition, we investigated if methodological differences between studies could explain the heterogeneity in study results. Methods: Studies were identified through a systematic literature search. Summary risk ratios (sRR) for pesticide exposure and subcategories were calculated using random effects meta-analyses. Potential sources of heterogeneity were investigated by meta-regression and stratified analyses. Results: Thirty-eight case-control studies, 4 cohort studies and 3 cross-sectional studies were identified. An sRR of 1.65 (1.42-1.92) for pesticide exposure (ever vs. never) was found. This association was also observed for exposure to herbicides and insecticides but not for fungicides. Heterogeneity in individual study results was not related to study design, source of control population, adjustment of results for potential confounders or geographical area of the study. However, heterogeneity was possibly related to differences in the exposure assessment. Pesticide exposure assignment based on job-titles resulted in a higher sRR than studies relying on self-reported exposure with sRR of 2.5 and 1.5, respectively. Conclusions: This review strengthens the evidence that exposure to herbicides and insecticides can increase the risk of Parkinson's disease. A suggestive effect for method of exposure assessment was found. Future studies should therefore focus on more objective and improved methods of exposure assessment.

BOSS: a novel scaffolding algorithm based on an optimized scaffold graph

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Motivation While aiming to determine orientations and orders of fragmented contigs, scaffolding is an essential step of assembly pipelines and can make assembly results more complete. Most existing scaffolding tools adopt scaffold graph approaches. However, due to repetitive regions in genome, sequencing errors and uneven sequencing depth, constructing an accurate scaffold graph is still a challenge task. Results In this paper, we present a novel algorithm (called BOSS), which employs paired reads for scaffolding. To construct a scaffold graph, BOSS utilizes the distribution of insert size to decide whether an edge between two vertices (contigs) should be added and how an edge should be weighed. Moreover, BOSS adopts an iterative strategy to detect spurious edges whose removal can guarantee no contradictions in the scaffold graph. Based on the scaffold graph constructed, BOSS employs a heuristic algorithm to sort vertices (contigs) and then generates scaffolds. The experimental results demonstrate that BOSS produces more satisfactory scaffolds, compared with other popular scaffolding tools on real sequencing data of four genomes.

Speech Signal Analysis using Wavelet Domain

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Different research algorithms and systems are being generated day by day for a variety of DSP applications for detection and processing of image, speech, audio, acoustic signals etc. Traditionally Fourier transform is used for the analysis of signal but it does not provide analysis of non stationary signal like speech signal. Therefore Gabor introduces another transform for analyzing the non stationary signal in which window technique is considered. In Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT), the signal is divided into small enough segments which are assumed as stationary. For this purpose a finite length window function "w" is chosen. This window's width has to be equal to the signal segment where its stationary is valid. The limitation of STFT is that once the size of the window is fixed then it cannot be changed. Therefore, another transform required which is known as Wavelet transforms (WT). Wavelet transform is an efficient method for analyzing non stationary signals i.e. signals in which frequency components changes with time like speech signals. Discrete wavelet transform is used to denoise the speech signal in which WhiteGaussian noise is added.Different threshold rules (Heursure, Rigrsure, Minimaxi, Sqtwolog) are used to determine the threshold limit of speech signal with different wavelets (db13 and sym13).
Enhancement of speech using deep neural network with discrete cosine transform

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In this digitized world, the demand of users emphasizes the quality and accuracy. Practically, all variants of signals are analog in nature along with contaminated with noise. In this paper, speech signal is considered. Basically speech signal varies from person to person and time to time. It requires enhancement of the signal for different applications like engineering, medicine and social purposes. Reduction of noise as well as redundant data from the signal can be produced with enhanced versions. As the speech is of nonstationary in nature, in the initial phase, it is processed and normalized. To analyze the speech signal, spectral domain is most suitable and has been utilized. For this purpose, Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT-II) is used. As it has the advantage over other transforms and the calculation is simpler, DCT-II coefficients are further used for Deep Neural Network (DNN) model to reduce the noise and enhance the signal. So that the signal of any environment and of any amount can be enhanced using this model. 100 sentences have been collected form both males and females of 5 each. The sentences have been uttered by the corresponding males and females, 10 sentences each. Though DCT-II and DNN have been applied by many researchers for signal features and image classification, the same have been utilized here for speech enhancement, which is the novelty of this work. The results found better than the other methods applied earlier and it can be best utilized for any real time application. In the result section, the visual inspection is exhibited along with the comparison values. The measuring parameters show its efficacy.

From these results it is concluded that in the GaRankuwa and surrounding areas, NUG/NUP in otherwise systemically healthy individuals is strongly correlated with HIV infection, with a predictive value of 69.6 per cent (p = 0.01). It is recommended that patients presenting with these conditions be encouraged to undergo testing to establish their HIV status for appropriate referrals and management.
A prospective randomized study of 1- and 2-stage sinus inlay bone grafts: 1-year follow-up.

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

The purpose of the present study was to compare the success of and surgical differences between 1- and 2-stage sinus inlay bone grafts and implants after 1 year in function. The individual risk for implant failure in grafted areas among 1-stage patients was about twice the risk in 2-stage patients (odds ratio 2.3, CI 0.6; 8.5). The risk for implant failure in non-grafted areas was significantly lower (P < .05) than in grafted areas, regardless of the technique used. Forty edentulous patients, selected according to strict inclusion criteria from consecutive referrals, were allocated to one or other of the 2 sinus-inlay procedures. Twenty patients received bone blocks fixed by implants to the residual alveolar crest in a 1-stage procedure (group 1). In another 20 patients, particulated bone was condensed against the antral floor and left to heal for 6 months before implants were placed (group 2). An almost equal number of implants was placed in the patients of each group, 76 in the 1-stage procedure and 74 in the 2-stage procedure. Additionally, 72 and 66 implants were placed in the anterior non-grafted regions of group 1 and group 2 patients, respectively. After 1 year in function, a total of 20 implants failed in 1-stage patients, versus 11 in 2-stage patients. Sixteen and 8 implants, respectively, of these were placed in grafted bone. All but one 1-stage patient received the planned fixed prosthetic restorations, but 1 restoration was redesigned after the first year in function because of a functionally unacceptable prosthetic design. At the 1-year follow-up, one 2-stage patient lost her prosthesis as the result of multiple implant failures. Bruxism and postoperative infections were the only parameters that could be related to implant failure, however, depending on the statistical method used.

Effect of adenine on liver nucleotide after fructose loading by 31P-NMR

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

Livers from 125- to 150-g rats were perfused and the effect of fructose metabolism on liver energetics was observed using 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Livers were exposed to fructose in a nonrecirculating manner for approximately 15 min and monitored for recovery for 30 min. At concentrations ranging from 1 to 25 mM, fructose exposure led to depletion of the nucleoside triphosphate level. Subsequently, the nucleoside triphosphate level recovered fully at a fructose concentration of 1 mM; however, recovery was only 65% of the initial values if the fructose concentration was 10 mM and 55% if the concentration was 25 mM. Adenine was found to protect nucleoside triphosphate levels against the adverse effects of fructose by blocking the deamination of AMP. In the presence of adenine, AMP accumulation was observed in the NMR spectra upon exposure of the liver to fructose.
Research on Spectrum Intelligent Recognition Technology Based on an Edge Processing Framework KubeEdge

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In recent years, artificial intelligence technology has developed rapidly, spectrum recognition presents the characteristics of intelligence. However, with the increase of the amount of radio spectrum data, problems such as the large amount of computation of artificial intelligence algorithm and the shortage of storage and computing resources of spectrum recognition terminal become more and more prominent, resulting in low efficiency of spectrum recognition. Combined with edge computing technology, an spectrum intelligent recognition framework based on edge processing framework KubeEdge is proposed in this paper. The architecture uses KubeEdge framework to co-manage cloud server and edge spectrum recognition node. The training of spectrum intelligent recognition algorithm is realized in the cloud, and the spectrum of input signals is recognized and classified at the edge node, so as to achieve the purpose of cloud and edge collaborative recognition and improve the efficiency of spectrum recognition.
