Effet du NaCl sur l'utilisation des lipides et les activités enzymatiques glyoxysomales au cours de la germination de deux espèces de Medicago

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The effect of increased NaCl concentrations on seed germination of two Medicago species (M. orbicularis and M. murex) was studied during the first 10 days of development. The effect of NaCl on utilization of storage lipids and on glyoxysomal marker enzymes in cotyledons was also examined. Total lipids, total fatty acids, and triacylglycerols decreased significantly with seedling growth in control cotyledons. Storage lipids disappeared as glyoxysomal enzyme activity appeared. The effect of NaCl on utilization of storage lipids and on glyoxysomal enzyme activity is compared for the two species. Key words: Medicago, germination, NaCl, lipids, glyoxysomal enzymes.
MicroGal Gravity Measurements with MGS-6 Micro-g LaCoste Gravimeter

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

The article discusses the registration of micro-gravity changes with the MGS-6 Micro-g LaCoste gravity sensor during static measurements. An experiment was carried out to determine how small changes in gravity can be registered using the MGS-6 system sensor. The tides of the Earth’s crust were chosen as the source of disturbance of the field with small amplitude and long-term changes. The tested sensor was placed in a geophysical observatory on a specially designed tripod. Simultaneously on the nearby concrete pillar, the registration of changes in gravity was carried out using the superconducting iGrav gravimeter. The high temporal stability of the superconducting gravimeters and the low noise combined with leading sensitivity of its reading allow it to be considered as a reliable reference source for MGS-6. The article discusses the impact of non-leveling changes of the MGS-6 gravimetry on the reading and determines the size of its non-linear drift. The obtained differences in indications between devices did not exceed 50 μ Gal for 68% of data. The measurements also showed excellent time stability of the MGS-6 measurement system. The data collected during the experiment allowed determining the level of accuracy that can be sought during real measurements using the MGS-6 system on research vessels. They also give an overview of the dynamics of the drift phenomenon of the analyzed research system.
Study on Two Dynamic Aggregation Algorithms of Coherent Generators

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

Dynamic aggregation of coherent generators is the main step in constructing dynamic equivalent model of power systems. In this paper two typical algorithms of coherent generators dynamic aggregation are reviewed briefly, the first model is traditional frequency domain algorithm, namely the generator terminal bus aggregation algorithm which uses the iterative process in frequency domain to derive the parameters of equivalent generator, the second model is weighted-average algorithm based on engineering, the approach frequency domain is more complicated so that it is considerable calculation and time consuming than the weighted-average method when two models are applied to large-scale power systems. For validation purpose, two models are tested on IEEE-39 bus system and the simulation results indicate that two equivalent system models can preserve the main dynamic characteristics of the original system well, on the other hand, the frequency domain model is an accuracy model so that it is suitable for precise analysis to power systems, the weighted average model is more deviation than the frequency domain model so that it is used to practical engineering.
The 3D Tele Motion Tracking for the Orthodontic Facial Analysis

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

Aim. This study aimed to evaluate the reliability of 3D-TMT, previously used only for dynamic testing, in a static cephalometric evaluation. Material and Method. A group of 40 patients (20 males and 20 females; mean age 14.2±1.2 years; 12–18 years old) was included in the study. The measurements obtained by the 3D-TMT cephalometric analysis with a conventional frontal cephalometric analysis were compared for each subject. Nine passive markers reflectors were positioned on the face skin for the detection of the profile of the patient. Through the acquisition of these points, corresponding plans for three-dimensional posterior-anterior cephalometric analysis were found. Results. The cephalometric results carried out with 3D-TMT and with traditional posterior-anterior cephalometric analysis showed the 3D-TMT system values are slightly higher than the values measured on radiographs but statistically significant; nevertheless their correlation is very high. Conclusion. The recorded values obtained using the 3D-TMT analysis were correlated to cephalometric analysis, with small but statistically significant differences. The Dahlberg errors resulted to be always lower than the mean difference between the 2D and 3D measurements. A clinician should use, during the clinical monitoring of a patient, always the same method, to avoid comparing different millimeter magnitudes.
International Arbitration and Society at Large

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This chapter investigates how ‘society at large’ interacts with the world of international arbitration, now and for the foreseeable future. This broad topic can be made more manageable by breaking down the interaction through four focus groups within society: the media, academia, arbitration ‘clubs’, and civil society NGOs. These groups provide services to the world of international arbitration but are mostly instead what Emmanuel Gaillard terms ‘value providers’ – seeking to influence its normative structure. This chapter also touches on international and professional organisations, which are also significant value providers.
BRANCHED POLYMERS ON BRANCHED POLYMERS

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

We study an ensemble of branched polymers which are embedded on other branched polymers. This is a toy model which allows us to study explicitly and in detail the reaction of a statistical system to its underlying geometrical structure, a problem of interest in the study of the interaction of matter and quantized gravity. We find a phase transition at which the embedded polymers begin to cover the basis polymers. At the transition point the susceptibility exponent γ takes the value 3/4 and the two-point function develops an anomalous dimension 1/2.
Risk Management in the Electricity Market and the Transition to NET 0 via DLT (Blockchain Technology)

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

Abstract The Romanian energy market has undergone, since the beginning of 2017, a period of turmoil underlying a short-term price rise, simultaneously with the inability of some market traders to comply with the contractual liabilities to which they had committed. Overall, the end consumer was not affected, however a series of traders became insolvent, and losses were taken over by the system operator and the suppliers of last resort. This paper aims at exploring the manner how principles applied in the blockchain concept, which lately has become extremely popular due to virtual coins, particularly Bitcoin, may be useful to all participants of an OTC market. This new technology could allow the appearance of new solutions to monitor the energy source used to achieve the NET 0 objective.

Anti-Platelet Glycoprotein Antibodies in Thrombocytosis Are Frequently Detected and Are Associated with Platelet Activation and Thrombosis.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Introduction: Thrombosis is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with thrombocytosis (TS) associated with myeloproliferative disorders (MPD), but predicting which patients are at risk has been challenging. We recently reported that antiphospholipid antibodies (APLA) and platelet activation are risk factors in TS [C Bidot et al; Hematology, 10:451, 2005]. To shed further light on the cause of platelet activation in TS, we here report on measuring anti-platelet antibodies in a group of these patients. Material and Methods: Thirty-three TS patients, 15 with clinical thrombosis and 18 without, were evaluated using PAICA method of L. Macchi et al [Thromb Haemost76:1020,1996]. We assayed anti-platelet antibodies against 3 target antigens, GPIIb/IIIa (CD41b), GP Ib/IX (CD42b) and GP IV (Cd36) for IgG and IgM. We also measured platelet activation marker CD62P, and microparticles from platelets (PMP, defined by CD31+/CD42+) and endothelial cells (EMP, defined by CD31+/CD42−) by flow cytometry. Results: At least one anti-platelet antibody was detected in 19/33 (57.5%) of TS patients. Considering first IgG in the19 who were anti-platelet antibodies positive, 14/19 (73.6%) were positive for CD36, 12/19 (63%) for CD41b and 8/19 (42.1%) for CD42b. For IgM in these 19 patients, incidences were 58.8% for CD41b, 38.8% for CD36 and 35% for CD42b. When we compared the anti-platelet antibody positive group with the negative group, we observed that activation marker CD62P was significantly higher in the former (p= 0.04), as were EMP levels (p= 0.02), but PMP levels were not different. Next, we compared results with incidence of thrombosis. None of the IgG results discriminated thrombosis from non-thrombosis. However, all three IgM results were significant in this regard: CD36 (p< 0.05), CD42b (p< 0.02), and most notably, CD41b (p< 0.0003). Conclusions: These results show that anti-platelet antibodies of IgM class, especially anti-CD41b, are associated with platelet activation, endothelial activation, and clinical thrombosis in TS. These findings parallel our previous report on APLA in TS. We suggest that IgM-CD41b may activate platelets, predisposing to hypercoagulable state in this disorder.
Mapping the Potential Energy Landscape of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins at Amino Acid Resolution

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

Intrinsically disordered regions are predicted to exist in a significant fraction of proteins encoded in eukaryotic genomes. The high levels of conformational plasticity of this class of proteins endows them with unique capacities to act in functional modes not achievable by folded proteins, but also places their molecular characterization beyond the reach of classical structural biology. New techniques are therefore required to understand the relationship between primary sequence and biological function in this class of proteins. Although dependences of some NMR parameters such as chemical shifts (CSs) or residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) on structural propensity are known, so that sampling regimes are often inferred from experimental observation, there is currently no framework that allows for a statistical mapping of the available Ramachandran space of each amino acid in terms of conformational propensity. In this study we develop such an approach, combining highly efficient conformational sampling with ensemble selection to map the backbone conformational sampling of IDPs on a residue specific level. By systematically analyzing the ability of NMR data to map the conformational landscape of disordered proteins, we identify combinations of RDCs and CSs that can be used to raise conformational degeneracies inherent to different data types, and apply these approaches to characterize the conformational behavior of two intrinsically disordered proteins, the K18 domain from Tau protein and N(TAIL) from measles virus nucleoprotein. In both cases, we identify the enhanced populations of turn and helical regions in key regions of the proteins, as well as contiguous strands that show clear and enhanced polyproline II sampling.
Bi-enzymes treatments attenuate cognitive impairment associated with oxidative damage of heavy metals

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of cognitive impairment. Lead (Pb) is a common environmental toxicant and plays a vital role in oxidative stress activation. In this study, a superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) containing poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) meso-particles (PLGA@SOD-CAT) were prepared to attenuate cognitive impairment via inhibiting oxidative stress in rats. It was prepared using a double emulsion (water/oil/water phase) technique to minimize the hazardous effects of Pb burden on cognitive impairment. The meso-particles antagonized the Pb-induced cognitive impairments. Behaviour, serum biochemical parameters and biomarkers of oxidative stress in rats were evaluated after they were subjected to intravenous injection with lead nitrate and PLGA@SOD-CAT. Moreover, the potential protective mechanism of PLGA@SOD-CAT was determined. Notably, PLGA@SOD-CAT appreciably agented memory impairment caused by lead nitrate and it could significantly inhibit Pb-induced oxidative stress in the blood. Furthermore, a remarkable reversion effect of cognitive impairments, including escape latency, crossing platform times and time per cent during the platform quadrant, after PLGA@SOD-CAT administration were noted. Therefore, these results suggested that the bi-enzymes platform was a superior product in eliminating Pb-induced cognitive impairments through reducing expression of Pb-associated oxidative stress, and it could potentially be applied in detoxifying heavy metals in blood circulation.

In-vivo imaging of keratoconic corneas using high-speed high-resolution swept-source OCT

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Keratoconus (KC) is a progressive degenerative corneal disease that can lead to a strong deformation of the cornea and loss of clarity, causing distorted or blurred vision. Surgical treatment for severe cases requires precise evaluation of the corneal curvature, thickness, layer structure, and clarity. Current clinical instruments for assessing the corneal shape cannot resolve the internal structure, and high-resolution microscopy techniques are limited to a small field of view. We have implemented a swept-source OCT (SS-OCT) system that enables high-speed imaging (100 kA-scans/s) of the entire cornea and provides ~5.1μm axial resolution in corneal tissue. With an imaging range of 5.6 mm (in air), we can cover the full length from the cornea's apex to the anterior surface of the lens. We have acquired volumetric corneal images from human subjects with different stages of KC and from subjects who underwent surgery or cross-linking therapy. We developed an automatic algorithm for segmenting the outer and inner surfaces of the cornea in the images which will enable precise measurement of the corneal curvature and thickness. This makes SS-OCT an ideal instrument for comprehensive examination of keratoconic corneas.

Synthesis of [D-Ala2, D-Leu5]enkephalin tritiated in the 2,6-positions of tyrosine

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

[D-Ala2, D-Leu5]Enkephalin (DADLE) labelled with tritium in the 2,6-positions of N-terminus tyrosine residue has been prepared. Synthesis of the precursor peptide, [2,6-dibromo-Tyr1]DADLE, was performed by solid phase synthesis using Fmoc strategy. The peptide was tritiated catalytically to yield [2,6-3H-Tyr1]DADLE with a specific radioactivity of 1.61 TBq/mmol. The distribution of the tritium was investigated by HPLC with radioisotope detection following hydrolysis with aminopeptidase M, and confirmed that the label was entirely located at the tyrosine residue.
