Francesco Bartolomeo Conti: His Life and Music (review)

Even after several decades--the jacket note refers to Hermine Weigel Williams's "more than thirty years of research"--this book still betrays to some extent its origins as a dissertation (Columbia University, 1964). But it has been enhanced in many respects and brought up to date, taking in and sometimes arguing with recent research findings such as those of Reinhard Strohm ("Scarlattiana at Yale," in [End Page 631] Händel e gli Scarlatti a Roma: Atti del convegno internazionale di studi (Roma, 12-14 giugno 1985), ed. Nino Pirrotta and Agostino Ziino [Florence: Leo S. Olschki, 1987], 113-52). With regard to the discussion of the music, the focus in Williams's dissertation on the operas of Francesco Bartolomeo Conti has been widened to include all the main genres of his works. The result is an authoritative synthesis of information and ideas on Conti's life and music that is fully worthy of its author's intense dedication to her subject.

Genetic variation at the Th2 immune gene IL13 is associated with IgE‐mediated paediatric food allergy

Food allergies pose a considerable world-wide public health burden with incidence as high as one in ten in 12-month-old infants. Few food allergy genetic risk variants have yet been identified. The Th2 immune gene IL13 is a highly plausible genetic candidate as it is central to the initiation of IgE class switching in B cells.Here, we sought to investigate whether genetic polymorphisms at IL13 are associated with the development of challenge-proven IgE-mediated food allergy.We genotyped nine IL13 "tag" single nucleotide polymorphisms (tag SNPs) in 367 challenge-proven food allergic cases, 199 food-sensitized tolerant cases and 156 non-food allergic controls from the HealthNuts study. 12-month-old infants were phenotyped using open oral food challenges. SNPs were tested using Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test adjusted for ancestry strata. A replication study was conducted in an independent, co-located sample of four paediatric cohorts consisting of 203 food allergic cases and 330 non-food allergic controls. Replication sample phenotypes were defined by clinical history of reactivity, 95% PPV or challenge, and IL13 genotyping was performed.IL13 rs1295686 was associated with challenge-proven food allergy in the discovery sample (P=.003; OR=1.75; CI=1.20-2.53). This association was also detected in the replication sample (P=.03, OR=1.37, CI=1.03-1.82) and further supported by a meta-analysis (P=.0006, OR=1.50). However, we cannot rule out an association with food sensitization. Carriage of the rs1295686 variant A allele was also associated with elevated total plasma IgE.We show for the first time, in two independent cohorts, that IL13 polymorphism rs1295686 (in complete linkage disequilibrium with functional variant rs20541) is associated with challenge-proven food allergy.

Greer Country: Texas Irredenta?

Abstract In 1896, the Supreme Court ruled against Texas and decided the ownership of Greer County, now located in southwestern Oklahoma. Prior to the ruling, Texas claimed and administered this region, treating it as an integral part of the state. Texas companies ran cattle in Greer County, and, more importantly, settlers from Texas comprised the bulk of early residents, establishing the county in the minds of many as a part of Texas' extended culture region. In the decades after the Court's ruling, Texans have revisited the issue informally, lamenting the injustice done and the severance of a Texas culture area from the homeland. One prominent historian even referred to Greer County as Texas irredenta. This study considers the Greer County case in the context of irredentism— the political claim of a state to a severed cultural territory. Based on evidence from government reports, court documents, and migration patterns, it seems clear that Greer County represented a peripheral area of mild cultural influence, not an integral part of Texas culture region. The case thus fails to rise to the level of irredentism, relegating any lingering Texas attachment to Greer County more to nostalgia than to cultural geographical patterns.

Sequential application of bio-pesticides suppresses eggplant shoot and fruit borer, Leucinodes orbonalis Guenee infestation

Different bio-pesticides were evaluated against eggplant shoot and fruit borer, Leucinodes orbonalis G. in combination. All combination of bio-pesticides were effective against eggplant shoot and fruit borer but Lycomax + Biotin M + Antario and Lycomax + Biotin M + Fytomax 3% found most potent and control 88.43 and 84.06 percent shoot infestation; 69.67 and 66.44 percent fruit infestation by count; 72.70 and 70.49 percent fruit infestation by weight, respectively. Lycomax + Biotin M + Antario and Lycomax + Fytomax 0.1% + Biomax increased 32.90 and 28.66 percent gross yield; 120.19 and 87.5 percent marketable yield, respectively over control. Individual fruit weight found maximum from Lycomax + Fytomax 0.1% + Biomax and Biotin M + Antario where it was 51.74 g and 48.13 g for marketable fruit while 44.05 g and 44.61 g for infested fruit. The present study revealed that Lycomax + Biotin M + Antario and Lycomax + Biotin M + Fytomax 3% effectively control ESFB while Lycomax + Biotin M + Antario and Lycomax + Fytomax 0.1% + Biomax increases the yield. Therefore, application of Lycomax + Biotin M + Antario might be recommended for successful production of eggplant to get maximum yield with minimum infestation.

Characterization of Potato Virus Y Resistance from Gametoclonal Variation in Flue-Cured Tobacco

A previously identified gametoclonal tobacco variant, NC 602, exhibits resistance to certain potato virus Y (PVY) strains. NC 602 was subjected to a second cycle of anther culture and colchicine treatment. The resulting doubled haploid lines were evaluated for back mutation to susceptibility and any additional mutation that might provide resistance to tobacco etch virus (TEV). The PVY resistance was stable in anther culture, and although no TEV resistance was found, three lines were identified with delayed symptom onset (...)

THE SUBSTANTIVE PRINCIPLE OF EQUAL TREATMENT

This paper attempts to identify a principle of equal treatment that gives specific structure to our widely shared judgments about the circumstances in which we have moral reason to object to the differential adverse treatment of others. I formulate what I call a “substantive” principle of equal treatment (to be distinguished from principles of formal equality) that describes a moral constraint on the reasons we can have for picking out individuals for differentially adverse action. I argue that this constraint is violated when an action, in view of its rationale, expresses lesser respect for the moral status of an individual under some differentiating description compared to the respect reserved to another class of individuals who are not picked out by that description. I show that this substantive demand of equal treatment is not morally otiose and I reveal the fallacy underlying accounts that have concluded otherwise.

The Effect of Different Shade Levels on Growth and Tuber Yield of Sweet Potato: I. Plant Development

Abstract The plant development of three sweet potato cultivars under different shade levels was compared during the 1990 and 1991 growth season at two locations in Peru. Deep shade retarded the time of tuber initiation of two cultivars. All shade levels reduced the number of tuber/m 2 , hence the sink‐size. After the 13th week after planting (WaP) the yield increased very rapidly in full sunlight. Shade reduced these growth rates and the highest increases occurred later in the vegetative period. Therefore, shade generally affected the tuber initiation and formation and eventually tuber yield. Shoot growth terminated 13 WaP; only in deep shade did the plant top keep growing until harvest and competed permanently for assimilates with the tuber‐sink. The leaf area was hardly affected by shade. The leaf area ratio increased in shade and there was a negative correlation between LAR and tuber and biomass yield. Shade also augmented the specific leaf area by approximately 11 % in 26 % and 42 % light reduction (LR) and up to 20 % in 60 % LR.

Non-Use of Nuclear Weapons and prevention of nuclear war

In the Final Document of its tenth special session, held in 1978, the General Assembly declared that removing the threat of a nuclear war was the “most urgent task of the present day” That view has been repeatedly reaffirmed since then by most States, including the two major nuclear Powers. The Soviet Union first officially announced at the twelfth special session of the General Assembly, in 1982, its solemn commitment never to be the first to use nuclear weapons (see below). President Reagan of the United States, addressing the General Assembly the following year, declared: “ A nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.”

Examination of High School Students' Understanding of Geometry

Not every student learns geometry instruction the same. Inside today’s classroom, one will find a diverse collection of students with different learning styles, background knowledge, and cognitive abilities. Students with high cognitive skills may sit next to those who struggle to maintain the material of a single subject. It is the job of an educator to accept the students as they are and guide them through a successful academic journey. This process is called Differentiated Instruction. Gregory and Chapman, authors of Differentiated Instructional Strategies: One Size Doesn’t Fit All, state that the term differentiation is a philosophy that allows instructors the ability to plan their classes in a strategic manner in order to meet the needs of each diverse learner in the classroom. Tomlinson states that teachers can differentiate instruction in four main areas: content, process, products, and learning environment. In order to test the effectiveness of differentiated instruction, the researcher gathered and analyzed data from a 2014 spring geometry class. This study attempted to draw comparisons between differentiated lessons versus traditional lecture based lessons.

Conceptual structures and computational methods for indexing and organization of visual information

We address the problem of automatic indexing and organization of visual information through user interaction at multiple levels. Our work focuses on the following three important areas: (1) understanding of visual content and the way users search and index it; (2) construction of flexible computational methods that learn how to automatically classify images and videos from user input at multiple levels; (3) integration of generic visual detectors in solving practical tasks in the specific domain of consumer photography. 
In particular, we present the following: (1) novel conceptual structures for classifying visual attributes (the Multi-Level Indexing Pyramid ); (2) a novel framework for learning structured visual detectors from user input (the Visual Apprentice); (3) a new study of human eye movements in observing images of different visual categories; (4) a new framework for the detection of non-identical duplicate consumer photographs in an interactive consumer image organization system; (5) detailed study of duplicate consumer photographs. 
In the Visual Apprentice (VA), first a user defines a model via a multiple-level definition hierarchy (a scene consists of objects, object-parts, etc.). Then, the user labels example images or videos based on the hierarchy (a handshake image contains two faces and a handshake) and visual features are extracted from each example. Finally, several machine learning algorithms are used to learn classifiers for different nodes of the hierarchy. The best classifiers and features are automatically selected to produce a Visual Detector (e.g., for a handshake), which is applied to new images or videos. 
In the human eye tracking experiments we examine variations in the way people look at images within and across different visual categories and explore ways of integrating eye tracking analysis with the VA framework. 
Finally, we present a novel framework for the detection of non-identical duplicate consumer images for systems that help users automatically organize their collections. Our approach is based on a multiple strategy that combines knowledge about the geometry of multiple views of the same scene, the extraction of low-level features, the detection of objects using the VA and domain knowledge.

PRIVATE INFORMATION REVEALED BY ROMANIAN FACEBOOK USERS - AN EXPLORATORY ASSESSMENT

The use of online social networks has become part of our lives. More and more people join networks, create their online profile, add pictures with themselves, add personal information about them, find people they know and connect with them, share and like posts, comments, pictures or movies and many more. The social networks allow more and more features and people are open and willing to try them. In this context, it is important for those who own such a profile to be aware of how their personal information is handled, who can view the data they publish in the social network and how they can protect the information they post, by granting access to it only to those persons they want to. The objective of this research was to study what type of information Romanian Facebook users are revealing on their profiles. We have conducted an empirical research, based on an online questionnaire which was available to be accessed in March 2013. 42,5% of the respondents, aged between 21 and 40, formed mostly my employees, managers and students, have not shared on their profiles neither their phone number, their home address, nor their messenger ID. Even though we have considered that the email address was also considered personal and very private information, our assumption did not confirmed, about 30% of the respondents have their email address shown on their profile. At the opposite side, it was confirmed that the gender, real name, personal pictures, birthday and current town are information published by more than 80% the respondents. The respondents do know and do make a difference between having their profile shown when searched on Facebook and allowing their profile to be visualised by whomever they want. Even though most of the respondents have their profile public when searched for it, the great majority have set that only their friends to be able to see the information they post online. Only about 10% of the respondents have added or have accepted friendship requests from people they did not know before and about 30% have never accepted such requests. Overall, we may say that our respondents are careful about what their share on Facebook.

Climate change effects on desert date <scp><i>Balanites aegyptiaca</i></scp> (L.) Delile in Benin: Implications for conservation and domestication

Abstract Effectiveness of Balanites aegyptiaca conservation and sustainable exploitation requires a better knowledge of the intrinsic environmental factors linked with its current and future geographic distribution. This study aimed to map suitable areas for the conservation and domestication of B. aegyptiaca under present‐day and future climate conditions in Benin. A total of 424 occurrence records of B. aegyptiaca were combined with the environmental variables of two climatic scenarios (optimistic RCP 4.5 and pessimistic RCP 8.5) following the biodiversity modeling approach (biomod2). Findings were that under current and future climate conditions (RCP 4.5 and 8.5), almost one‐third of the country's area (protected and non‐protected areas), mainly located in the semiarid zone, presents a high probability of suitable areas for the conservation and domestication of B. aegyptiaca by 2055 time horizon. Exceptionally, a fine portion of medium suitable area for its distribution was found in the coastal area. Whatever the future climatic scenarios, a probable potential extension of the suitable areas (2.52% for RCP 4.5 and 0.43% for RCP 8.5) will be noted, thus emphasizing a positive impact of climate changes on the species. These findings are timely and could be used for setting appropriate management policies targeting the species in Benin.

Figure, ground and presence: A phenomenology of meaning in rhetoric

Abstract This essay seeks to breathe new life into Perelman's notion of presence and to build the case that presence, properly understood, is the single most consequential and fruitful idea in the New Rhetoric. Specifically, this essay argues that Perelman's description of presence draws our attention to a crucial and often overlooked psychological limitation—our inability to consciously render meaning in more than one way at once. By conducting a phenomenological investigation of presence this essay seeks to explore these limitations and their implications for rhetorical theory and theorists. Key words: presencephenomenologyPerelmanGestalt psychologytimemeaning

Cycling but not walking to work or study is associated with physical fitness, body composition and clustered cardiometabolic risk in young men

Introduction Active commuting is an inexpensive and accessible form of physical activity and may be beneficial to health. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of active commuting and its subcomponents, cycling and walking, with cardiometabolic risk factors, physical fitness and body composition in young men. Methods Participants were 776 Finnish young (26±7 years), healthy adult men. Active commuting was measured with self-report. Waist circumference was measured and body mass index (BMI) calculated. Aerobic fitness was measured with bicycle ergometer and muscular fitness with maximal leg and bench press, sit-ups, push-ups and standing long jump. Cardiometabolic risk factors were analysed from blood samples and selected variables (glucose, insulin, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, as well as systolic and diastolic blood pressure) were further converted to z-score to form clustered cardiometabolic risk. Results A total of 24% used active commuting consisting of 10% of walkers and 14% of cyclists. After adjustments for age, smoking, time of year, leisure-time and occupational physical activities, cycling was inversely associated with the clustered cardiometabolic risk (β=−0.11, 95% CI −0.22 to −0.01), while walking was not (β=−0.04, 95% CI −0.16 to 0.08). However, further adjustment for waist circumference attenuated the associations to non-significant. Moreover, cycling but not walking was inversely associated with BMI, waist circumference and maximal strength, while a positive association was observed with aerobic fitness (p&lt;0.05). Conclusion This study shows that cycling to work or study has beneficial associations to clustered cardiometabolic risk, body composition and aerobic fitness in young, healthy adult men.
