Boozoo Chavis and the Magic Sounds Who Stole My Monkey? Rounder, 1999 CD 21 56, $1 5.OO Boozoo Chavis rocks. A pioneer of the zydeco sound in the 195os, the accordionist remains one of its most influential artists. His latest CD reflects his abiUty to form wide-ranging musical interests into a zydeco flavor rooted in the rural southwest Louisiana where he stiU Uves. Backed by die Magic Sounds, Chavis puts his own take on standbys Uke "AUons a Lafayette," "Baby Please Don't Go," and a CUfton Chenier classic, "LucUle." He also includes many of his own songs, most notably his famous bawdy pieces: "Uncle Bud," and "Deacon Jones," whose subject matter and language have resulted in the "parental advisory" stamped on the cd cover. Longtime underground favorites, these two cuts hint at a deep vein ofAmerican vernacular song that has largely been ignored. Luckily, Chavis has not been similarly overlooked, but, given his infectious and exuberant music, that would be nearly impossible to do. Caribbean Sampler Rounder, 1999 CD I72I, $1 5.OO In 1962 the folklorist Alan Lomax documented Caribbean musical traditions with a series of field recordings much Uke those he had done in the American South. That material was never made commerciaUy available until now. This introductory cd to Rounder's Caribbean Voyage series samples material from Dominica, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Carriacou, St. Lucia, St. Barthélémy, AnguiUa, Trinidad, and Nevis. Stressing styles deeply rooted in West and Central Africa and die adaptation of European styles and instruments, the disc also includes a French baUad sung by a white inhabitant of St. Barthélémy and a Hindu prayer from Nevis's East Indian residents. An excellent thirty-seven page booklet puts the digitaUy remastered material in context and provides photos, transcriptions, and a bibUography. Caribbean Sampler is an economical overview of the Caribbean Voyage set and an important document in die history of the African Diaspora. 94 southern cultures, Fall ?999 : GavinJames Campbell ...
Perspektif Islam Tentang Tradisi Lokal dalam Proses Pelaksanaan Upacara Beati di Gorontalo

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Religion and culture are two important things in society that influence each other. When religious teachings enter a cultured community, there will be a tug of war between cultural interests on the other side. Likewise with the Islamic religion which was passed down in the midst of Arab society which has customs and traditions passed down from generation to generation. The patterns adopted by Islam in responding to Arab customs during the process of forming Islamic law can also be used as a guide in adapting adat to Islamic law elsewhere. Even though Islamic law is in a fixed form, it does not mean that Islamic law refuses flexibility in dealing with the customs and habits of a place. Tradition is part of culture. One of the local traditions that is closely attached to the life of Indonesian people, especially Gorontalo, is the process of carrying out the beati ceremony. The beati traditional ceremony in Gorontalo society is carried out after going through several stages such as molongudu, momonto, momuhuto, mopohuta'a to pingge, mome'ati and mohatam. In other words, before the beati ceremony as the main ceremony is carried out, it is preceded by the ceremonies of molongudu, momonto, momuhuto, mopohuta'a to pingge, momeati and mohatamu. This series of ceremonies is part of the beati ceremony. Furthermore, the customary stakeholders will mopom'lumu (confirm) that the entire series of events has been completed, and ends with mongabi. That is an indicationthat the event can be disbanded. At that time, the audience immediately stood up and dispersed while saying sholawat to the Prophet SAW. accompanied by a handshake.

The Resonant Sonic Drilling Method: An Innovative Technology for Environmental Restoration Programs

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract The resonant sonic drilling method offers unique capabilities to the environmental restoration market. By using a drill head that imparts high‐frequency, high‐force vibrations into a steel drill pipe, continuous, relatively undisturbed cores can be taken through virtually any formation. The resonant sonic method requires no mud, air, water, or other circulating medium for penetration: drills very fast; easily drills at any angle through formations such as rock, clay, sand, boulders, permafrost, or glacial till; and yields no cuttings in the drilling process. Case histories of projects using the method demonstrate excellent results but also indicate several problem areas with the method in its present state. Expanding research efforts to further develop the resonant sonic drilling method should help solve current drawbacks, and could produce a drilling technology for environmental work that significantly changes the way monitoring wells are drilled and constructed.
Pigmented skin lesion computerized analysis via mobile devices

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Skin cancer is currently one of the most common types of cancer among the Caucasian population. Malignant Melanoma is considered the most dangerous form of skin cancer, however with high success rates of recovery if detected in early stages. Mobile-based approaches appear nowadays as a promising tool for skin moles data acquisition and risk assessment. This paper presents an image processing and analysis methodology using supervised classification to independently assess the Asymmetry, Border and Color criteria score according to the ABCD rule, as well as the Overall Risk of skin mole images acquired using mobile devices. A mobile acquired image dataset (manually annotated by a specialist) was used to test the proposed approach and accuracy rates of 73.8%, 76.7%, 68.8% were achieved for the estimation of the ABCD score of Asymmetry, Border and Color criteria, respectively. Moreover, the automatic Overall Risk assessment achieved 86% of sensitivity and 73% specificity.
SH1035137.09FU

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

UNITE provides a unified way for delimiting, identifying, communicating, and working with DNA-based Species Hypotheses (SH). All fungal ITS sequences in the international nucleotide sequence databases are clustered to approximately the species level by applying a set of dynamic distance values (<0.5 - 3.0%). All species hypotheses are given a unique, stable name in the form of a DOI, and their taxonomic and ecological annotations are verified through distributed, web-based third-party annotation efforts. SHs are connected to a taxon name and its classification as far as possible (phylum, class, order, etc.) by taking into account identifications for all sequences in the SH. An automatically or manually designated sequence is chosen to represent each such SH. These sequences are released (https://unite.ut.ee/repository.php) for use by the scientific community in, for example, local sequence similarity searches and next-generation sequencing analysis pipelines. The system and the data are updated automatically as the number of public fungal ITS sequences grows.
Study of lightning current by remanent magnetization

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

A study of remanent magnetization is made at the areas of lightning strikes. In the case of triggered lightning (Okushishiku, Hokuriku district), the magnetic direction of the specimens shows a clockwise rotation pattern around the point of lightning strike. At an archaeological site in Miyagi Prefecture, an anticlockwise pattern of the magnetic direction was detected. These results indicate that a stable remanent magnetization is acquired by the strong magnetic field induced surrounding the lightning current, both in negative and positive lightning flashes. Also, a detailed analysis of magnetization clarifies the electric current flow underground caused by the lightning. The study of remanent magnetization will become a useful method to elucidate the path of the lightning current. © 1998 Scripta Technica, Electr Eng Jpn, 123(4): 41–47, 1998
Government and Cities: Contests and the Decentralization of Decision Making

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Governments do not have perfect information regarding the priorities and the needs of different groups in the economy. This lack of knowledge opens the door for different groups to lobby the government in order to receive the government’s support. We set up a model of hierarchical contests and compare the implications of a centralized allocation process with a decentralized allocation process. We show the potential existence of a poverty trap as a result of fiscal federalism.
TAT.ARC protein transduction or RNA interference with ARC impact on survival of primary cortical neurons subjected to 150 min oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD): Lactate dehydrogenase activity was measured as a marker of cell membrane integrity loss and neuronal cell death 24 h afterwards.

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Primary neuronal cultures were transduced with lentiviral particles for knockdown of apoptosis repressor with CARD domain (ARC) or non-targeting control or treated with TAT proteins for ARC or beta Galaktosidase before 150 min of oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD). Cell death was monitored by the release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the supernatant medium.
Evaluation of washing machine load potential for smart grid integration

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

This paper presents the lessons learned from a smart wash pilot, conducted with 24 employees of distribution system operator Enexis, who were equipped with an energy computer, smart washing machine, photovoltaic panels and smart meter. The pilot goal was to gain experience and knowledge about the application of these smart grid technologies in practice. Launched end of 2010 this was one of the first pilots focusing on consumer involvement. During the pilot consumers were encouraged to shift their load in order to match local electricity supply; to do their laundry while electricity is generated by their own photovoltaic panels. This paper contains an extensive analysis of the data the pilot brought forward and proposes an evaluation method to evaluate the washing machine load potential for smart grid integration. The coincidence factor of the daily load profiles and average load profiles of the participants is studied in order to define the significance of the results. Furthermore the paper elaborates on how the lessons learned during this pilot contributed to the design of a new smart grid pilot launched December 2012 in the Netherlands, `Your Energy Moment', focusing on demand side management of over 250 households.
Deformation transfer in viscous detachments: comparison of sandbox models to the South Pyrenean Triangle Zone

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Results of scaled sandbox models, containing three viscous layers located at different geographic and stratigraphic levels simulating three evaporitic units in the South Pyrenean Triangle Zone, and interpreted field data are presented here to explain structural variation and kinematics in shortened areas containing multiple weak horizons acting as detachments. In the Southern Pyrenean Triangle Zone, the Beuda, Cardona and Barbastro thrust fronts have similar geometric features to those developed in the models, suggesting that they could have formed and evolved in a similar way. These deformation fronts are not always perpendicular to the regional shortening direction. Instead, their direction is governed by the initial pinch-out of the viscous horizonts. Model results show that triangle zones form when: (1) deformation is transferred to weak horizons located at higher stratigraphic levels, and (2) the deformation front reaches the pinch-out of the weak horizons. Model results also show that the rheology of the detachment horizonts controls the geometry of the deformation front. Weak detachments (Cardona Formation, and pure silicone in the models) promote folding and back-vergent structures, and thus formation of triangle zones at the deformation front, irrespective of the location of the thrust front relative to the pinch-out of the viscous detachment. However, over strong (more viscous) detachments (Barbastro and Beuda formations, and impure silicone in the models), folds that eventually evolve to thrusts are dominant. In such cases, backthrusts form only at the pinch-out of the detachment layer. In cases where no viscous detachment is present, no backthrusts form, and therefore the thrust front does not develop a triangle zone geometry. Instead, a foreland-vergent piggyback sequence of thrusts forms. Model results show that the stratigraphic level of a detachment governs size, geometry and spacing of the imbricates formed above it.
Digested slurry analysis for utilization based on irrigated crop water demand

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

To rationally utilize digested slurry, and thereby promote the integrated development of planting and breeding in breeding industry, the water-fertilizer requirement analysis of typical winter wheat-summer corn rotation tillage model in Zhengzhou was completed based on the water/nutrient requirement of crops. The results showed that the water demand and effective rainfall of winter wheat during the whole growth period were 492 and 190 mm, and the application amount of digested slurry was 3090 m³. The N, P, and K provided were 3600, 197, and 1310 kg, respectively, which exceeded the normal nutrient requirement of wheat. During the whole growth period of summer corn, the water demand was 354 mm, the effective rainfall was 290 mm, and the application amount of digested slurry was 763 m³. The amount of N, P, and K provided was 890, 48.6, and 324 kg, respectively. The amount of N and K exceeded the normal nutrient demand of corn, while the P was insufficient. Therefore, digested slurry can provide full nutrient requirements in winter wheat planting season in Zhengzhou, and P fertilizer should be added when applying digested slurry in corn planting season. If long-term application, excessive nutrient loss may cause non-point source pollution.
EVALUATING RECENT STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE FOOD SECURITY AMONG SMALLHOLDER HOUSEHOLDS IN MALAWI

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

We study the response of smallholder farm households to recent policy chang es in Malawi, using an optimization model that accounts for the relationship between nutritional intake and labor productivity, as well as other constraints, over six periods of the year. The model is calibrated using data from a 1997/98 survey of 800 farm households. Two main policy experiments are investigated. These are implementation of the Starter Pack scheme to distribute seeds and fertilizer, and the input -market liberalization program for tobacco and other crops. Simulations demonstrate that improved access to modern inputs unambiguously leads to increases in food production and household income on small farms, but nutritional and marketing constraints remain binding. In this context the Starter Pack Scheme is highly productive and generates an internal rate of return of about 50 percent. Going forward, the ability of the smallest farms to respond fully to policy changes and market conditions will depend on a continued flow of improved food crop technologies, and coordinated efforts to remove a complex web of non-price constraints.
Distinct Substrate Selectivity of a Metabolic Hydrolase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis

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

The transition between dormant and active Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection requires reorganization of its lipid metabolism and activation of a battery of serine hydrolase enzymes. Among these serine hydrolases, Rv0045c is a mycobacterial-specific serine hydrolase with limited sequence homology outside mycobacteria but structural homology to divergent bacterial hydrolase families. Herein, we determined the global substrate specificity of Rv0045c against a library of fluorogenic hydrolase substrates, constructed a combined experimental and computational model for its binding pocket, and performed comprehensive substitutional analysis to develop a structural map of its binding pocket. Rv0045c showed strong substrate selectivity toward short, straight chain alkyl esters with the highest activity toward four atom chains. This strong substrate preference was maintained through the combined action of residues in a flexible loop connecting the cap and α/β hydrolase domains and in residues close to the catalytic triad. Two residues bracketing the substrate-binding pocket (Gly90 and His187) were essential to maintaining the narrow substrate selectivity of Rv0045c toward various acyl ester substituents, as independent conversion of these residues significantly increased its catalytic activity and broadened its substrate specificity. Focused saturation mutagenesis of position 187 implicated this residue, as the differentiation point between the substrate specificity of Rv0045c and the structurally homologous ybfF hydrolase family. Insertion of the analogous tyrosine residue from ybfF hydrolases into Rv0045c increased the catalytic activity of Rv0045 by over 20-fold toward diverse ester substrates. The unique binding pocket structure and selectivity of Rv0045c provide molecular indications of its biological role and evidence for expanded substrate diversity in serine hydrolases from M. tuberculosis.
EFFECT OF METAL TOLERANT PLANT GROWTH PROMOTING RHIZOBACTERIA ON BEAN GROWTH, CADMIUM AND ZINC UPTAKE AND STRESS RESPONSES

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) serve as an alternative tool in sustainable agriculture.PGPR influence the heavy metal accumulation of crops in contaminated soils, either by decreasing or increasing the accumulation.This study focuses on the effect of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria on the heavy metal uptake, plant growth and stress response of bean plants.The simultaneous treatment of Cd 2+ and Mitsuaria chitosanitabida T310 -2 /4 (PGPR strain) as well as Zn 2+ and bacteria resulted in the inhibition of root elongation in bean plants, but no differences were recorded in root biomass.A higher accumulation of the phytotoxic Cd 2+ in the root compared to the shoot was observed in bean plants due to the limited translocation (varying between 7.95-23%).In the case of Zn 2+ treatment the translocation from root to shoot was not limited.In the case of Cd 2+ treatment the Mitsuaria chitosanitabida T310 -2 /4 decreased the accumulation of Cd 2+ in bean plants.Differences in polyphenol oxidase (POD) and peroxidase activity (GPOX) were observed among metal stressed and control plants.Mitsuaria chitosanitabida T310 -2 /4 strain diminished the oxidative stress in the case of toxic metal (Cd 2+ ) treated bean plants most probably due to the inhibited metal uptake.
Testing the Effects of Rebel Governance on Postwar Democratization

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

When rebel groups establish their operational bases and political structures among civilian populations, tapping into their labor, income, possessions, and information for their war efforts, two kinds of transformations occur. One is that it results in a set of politically mobilized citizens who are confronted with the regime's shortcomings and come to seek and expect political changes favorable to them. Evidence presented in Chapter 3 showed that rebels are most likely to seek civilian contributions where they lack funding from other sources, especially foreign support. The other transformation is that in order to effectuate and sustain this extractive relationship with civilians, some rebel groups become “statebuilders” over time, essentially replacing some of the state's authority and institutions with their own. I find that this is most likely to occur where rebels rely extensively on civilians and lack other funding sources, control territory, and espouse an ideology that emphasizes popular mobilization, and where wars are long-lasting.
Helix geometry of single stranded DNA ‘A’ and ‘B’ forms from minimum energy conformations of dimeric subunits

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

Low energy conformations with dihedral angles similar to those occurring in fibers of the 'A' and 'B' forms of DNAs have been calculated for the deoxydinucleoside phosphates dApdA, dCpdC, dTpdT, dGpdG and dGpdC (1-3). These conformers have been used as building blocks for generating larger single stranded polymers, whose helical parameters we have calculated. We find that single stranded 'A' and 'B' form helices tend to be narrower and more tightly wound than the duplexes obtained in fibers (4,5). This is consistent with experimental observations on single stranded fibers of poly (rC) (6). We also find that the different sequences have different helix geometries. In addition, it is observed that large variations in helix geometry for a given sequence are achievable at little energetic cost.
Dental anomalies in a child with craniometaphysial dysplasia.

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

Craniometaphysial dysplasia (CMD) is a rare disorder that mainly affects craniofacial bones. It is caused by mutations within a region of human homolog (Ankh) of the mouse progressive ankylosis (Ank) gene. ANK, together with other factors, regulates intracellular and extracellular levels of pyrophosphate/inorganic phosphate critical for maintaining mineral homeostasis. The systemic manifestations noted in CMD patients have been reported previously. The dental anomalies in CMD patients, however, have been minimally described in the dental literature. The purpose of this case report was to describe both systemic and dental manifestations of a 3 1/2-year-old child with craniometaphysial dysplasia. At the gross level, enamel discoloration and tooth malformations were observed in multiple primary teeth without obvious defects in the roots. Radiographic evidence of excess mineralization was noted on the primary maxillary second molars, limited to the mesial region of the crowns. The genetic and molecular effects of Ank/Ankh mutations are also discussed.
