Quantifying the Neural and Behavioral Correlates of Repeated Social Competition in the Fighting Fish Betta splendens

The fighting fish Betta splendens, long studied for its aggressive territorial competitions, has the potential to be a tractable and relevant model for studying the intersection of cognitive ecology and social neuroscience. Yet, few studies have comprehensively assessed Betta behavior across both social and nonsocial contexts. Furthermore, the present study is the first to quantify the expression of phosphorylated ribosomal protein S6 (PS6), a proxy for neural response, in the Betta telencephalon. Here, we assessed male Betta behavior across a suite of tasks and found that response to a mirror, but not neophilia (a novel object) nor anxiety (scototaxis), predicted behavior in a social competition. To then explore the cognitive aspects of social competition, we exposed Betta to either a familiar or novel opponent and compared their competitive behavior as well as their neural responses in the teleost homologs of the hippocampus, basolateral amygdala, and lateral septum. We did not detect any differences between familiar-exposed and novel-exposed individuals, but by implementing the first use of a habituation–dishabituation competition design in a study of Betta, we were able to observe remarkable consistency in competitive outcomes across repeated exposures. Taken together, the present study lays the groundwork for expanding the use of Betta to explore integrative and multidimensional questions of social cognition.

[Tissue and aural discharge distribution of tebipenem pivoxil].

Tebipenem pivoxil (TBPM-PI) is a novel oral carbapenem antibiotic. It has been developed as a prodrug of tebipenem (TBPM), to increase absorption. We assessed the distribution of TBPM to aural discharge and tissues after administration of TBPM-PI to adult patients who underwent otolaryngological surgical tissue resection and pediatric patients with acute otitis media or acute sinusitis. Following the administration of single oral doses of 150 and 250 mg (potency) of TBPM-PI to adult patients who underwent otolaryngological surgical tissue resection, tissue TBPM concentrations for the respective doses were 0.38 to 1.76 microg/g and 0.17 to 0.91 microg/g in mucous membranes of the maxillary sinus, 0.26 to 0.94 microg/g and 0.14 to 0.45 microg/g in mucous membranes of the ethmoid sinus, and 0.12 to 0.13 microg/g and 0.14 to 0.47 microg/g in palatine tonsil tissues, as well as 0.29 microg/g in mucous membranes of the middle ear for the dose of 250 mg. The percentages of these tissue concentrations to plasma concentrations for the respective doses were 14.3% to 61.0% and 18.4% to 54.6% in mucous membranes of the maxillary sinus, 34.3% to 52.1% and 9.9% to 54.6% in mucous membranes of the ethmoid sinus, and 10.3% to 15.0% and 6.5% to 17.4% in palatine tonsil tissues, as well as 16.8% in mucous membranes of the middle ear for the dose of 250 mg. Following the administration of TBPM-PI at doses of 4 mg (potency)/kg and 6 mg (potency)/kg twice daily to pediatric patients with acute otitis media or acute sinusitis, TBPM concentrations in the aural discharge for these doses were 0.03 to 2.00 microg/g and 1.07 or 1.18 microg/g, respectively. The percentage of aural discharge concentrations to plasma concentrations for these doses was 0.3% to 86.1% and 40.5% or 83.6%, respectively. These results indicate a favorable distribution profile of TBPM to tissues affected by otitis media or sinusitis after the administration of TBPM-PI and can support the high efficacy of TBPM-PI.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of anthranilamide-based non-peptide mimetics of omega-conotoxin GVIA

Non-peptide mimetics based on an anthranilamide 'scaffold' possessing fragments that mimic Lys2, Tyr13 and Arg17 in omega-conotoxin GVIA have been prepared. Compounds were assayed for binding to the voltage-gated calcium channels Ca(v)2.2 ('N-type') and Ca(v)2.1 'P/Q-type') in rat brain. The primary synthetic target, 2-(6-amino-hexanoylamino)-5-(3-guanidino-propoxy)-N-[4-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)phenyll -benzamide (2a), exhibited low mu M binding to Ca(v)2.2 and was more than 30-fold selective for Ca(v)2.2 over Cav2. 1.

Potentiometric Detection of <i>Listeria monocytogenes</i> via a Short Antimicrobial Peptide Pair-Based Sandwich Assay

Peptide-based sandwich assays are promising tools in molecular detection, but may be restricted by the availability of "pairs" of affinity peptides. Herein, a new potentiometric sandwich assay for bacteria based on peptide pairs derived from an antimicrobial peptide (AMP) ligand is demonstrated. As a model, the original AMP with a well-defined structure for Listeria monocytogenes (LM) can be split into two fragments to serve as the peptide pairs for the sandwich assay. The recognition and binding of the short peptide pairs to the target can be verified by circular dichroism, flow cytometry, fluorometry, and optical microscopy. The potentiometric magnetic bead-based sandwich assay is designed by using horseradish peroxidase as a label. The enzyme can catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine with H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> to induce a potential change on a polymeric membrane ion-selective electrode. Under optimal conditions, the concentration of LM can be determined potentiometrically in a linear range of 1.0 × 10<sup>2</sup> to 1.0 × 10<sup>6</sup> CFU mL<sup>-1</sup> with a detection limit of 10 CFU mL<sup>-1</sup> (3σ). The proposed sensing strategy expands the applications of peptides in the field of bioassays.

Y-site stability of fosphenytoin and sodium phenobarbital.

Fosphenytoin and sodium phenobarbital in 0.9% sodium chloride injection were analyzed in a simulated Y-site admixture. Each drug was analyzed for stability by high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) from three simulated Y-site samples over an eight-hour period. The HPLC assay results indicate that both fosphenytoin and sodium phenobarbital are stable together at a Y site over an eight-hour period. In addition, there was no change in sample clarity or pH over the same period. The results indicate that, when medically necessary, fosphenytoin and sodium phenobarbital in 0.9% sodium chloride injection can be administered via the same intravenous line.

Comparative Efficacy of Organic Manures for Improved Performance of Waterleaf (Talinum fructicosum (L) Juss.) in the Humid Tropical Rainforest

Waterleaf apart from being a source of food provides employment and income to mostly female peasant farmers. Field experiments were conducted to evaluate effects of organic manure types and their combinations on the growth and yield of water leaf in a typical tropical humid rainforest in 2016 and 2017 Cropping seasons. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Treatments included sole poultry manure (PM) at 10 t ha-1, 10 t ha-1 cow dung (CD), 8 t ha-1 oil palm bunch ash (OPBA) and their combinations including; 5 t ha-1 PM + t ha-1CD, 5 t ha-1 PM +4 t ha-1 OPBA, 5 t ha-1 CD+4 t ha-1 OPBA and the control where no manures were applied. Data collected included; plant height, number of leaves and branches and leaf area plant -1, fresh and dry weights of water leaf. These were analyzed using analysis of variance and means compared using Fisher’s least significant difference (LSD) at 5%. Waterleaf plants fertilized with 10 t ha-1 PM and combination of 5 t ha-1 PM +4 t ha-1 OPBA showed better performance in all the parameters measured. Hence, 10 t ha-1 PM was recommended amongst other forms of organic manure applied as sole or in combination in Calabar agro ecology of Nigeria.

Japanese Agricultural Reform under Abenomics

After 2012, Prime Minister Abe prioritized agricultural reform as a signature objective of the structural reform, or “third arrow,” component of Abenomics. But while the Abe reforms have enhanced competitive market signals in the farm sector and accelerated the long-term political decline of conservative LDP politicians, farm bureaucrats, and Japan Agricultural Cooperatives (JA) – the “farm lobby” – in the policy process, the lobby remains a significant obstacle to more sweeping change. To illustrate these points and the ongoing tug-of-war between neoliberal reformers and the farm lobby, this chapter explores some of the successes and failures of the government’s agricultural agenda against the backdrop of a deepening demographic and economic crisis in the countryside.

Putting a Padlock on Lambda – Integrating vTPMs into AWS Firecracker

When software services use cloud providers to run their workloads, they place implicit trust in the cloud provider, without an explicit trust relationship. One way to achieve such explicit trust in a computer system is to use a hardware Trusted Platform Module (TPM), a coprocessor for trusted computing. However, in the case of managed platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offerings, there is currently no cloud provider that exposes TPM capabilities. In this paper, we improve trust by integrating a virtual TPM device into the Firecracker hypervisor, originally developed by Amazon Web Services. In addition to this, multiple performance tests along with an attack surface analysis are performed to evaluate the impact of the changes introduced. We discuss the results and conclude that the slight performance decrease and attack surface increase are acceptable trade-offs in order to enable trusted computing in PaaS offerings.

Post-processing analysis of MODIS leaf area index subsets

The global network FLUXNET supplies environmental scientists with valuable data on ecosystem exchange processes along with meteorological measurements. Ecosystem characteristics at these sites can be efficiently complemented by remote sensing data from the MODIS sensors on-board the NASA satellites Terra and Aqua. The ORNL DAAC makes resampled MODIS key products as so called 'Land Product Subsets' available. These subsets comprise selected MODIS products in a 7x7 km grid centered on FLUXNET sites. One of these products is the leaf area index (LAI). Despite the frequent application of MODIS LAI data in ecosystem models, there is still no consensus on its usage and the employment of the additionally provided quality criteria (QC). In this study, we analyze the effects of various QC filters, spatial aggregations and sensor choices on magnitude and temporal dynamics of LAI data at six FLUXNET sites. Additionally, we assess the sensitivity of a simple soil-vegetation-atmosphere-transfer (SVAT) model on differently post-processed LAI times series. It is found that it is advantageous to combine the products of both sensors. The consideration of quality assessments is essential, but the QC application is not straightforward for forest sites and the QC choice can have significant effects on the resulting LAI time series with considerable consequences on the outcome of subsequently applied SVAT models.

Bovine reaginic antibody. I. Rat mast cell degranulation by bovine allergic serum.

A method of utilizing morphological changes in rat mast cells to determine reaginic antibody activity in bovine serum is described. This technique, which has been shown to be useful for the diagnosis of allergies in man, relies on the ability of antigen to degranulate mast cells sensitized with allergic serum. Experiments with radioactively-labelled allergic bovine globulin indicated the specificity of the binding of such proteins to rat mast cells. Cross-reaction between reaginic bovine antibody and human IgE was shown by a binding assay involving the uptake of 125I-labelled anti-human IgE globulin by mast cells incubated with bovine passive cutaneous anaphylaxis positive globulin.

PROFITABILITY OF UNDERGROUND CABLING IN THE FINNISH RURAL ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION IN THE FUTURE

Tightening supply security requirements have induced a situation where a significant amount of the present overhead lines should be replaced by underground cables. This means a significant change in the annual amount of investments in both underground cabling and overhead lines. Thus, in principled way the amount of underground cable investments increases and amount of overhead line investments decreases. Former experiences of rural area cabling are minor, and thus the cabling process is not optimized that can be observed in the costs. Hence, there can be possibilities to cut the installation price of cabling. This paper presents a comparison of network renovation with future investment prices in medium-voltag e (10 kV or 20 kV) network in rural area conditions for underground cable and overhead line network. The study also takes into account operational and customer interruption costs peculiar to considered network types.

Features of Using the Method of Normalised Range and Fractal Analysis in Studying the Car Traffic Flow Intensity

The relevance of studying the methods of studying traffic flows is due to the need to analyse their features, determine the allowable areas of their application in solving practical problems of the transport sector. The objective of the work is to identify the results of application of modern methods of time series analysis that use the values of intensities of car traffic flows on the urban street-and-road network. The subject of the study is associated with the calculated Hurst and fractal dimension indices (fractal analysis), as well as with checking the validity of the quantitative relationship of these indicators, specified by B.Mandelbrot and used in applied research, on real data on intensity of car traffic flows. Digital data for the study were obtained using «Azimuth» stationary measuring software and hardware photo and video recording complexes, located on the street-and-road network of the city. The study has found that anomalous values of key indicators are encountered when using the normalised range method and fractal analysis: the Hurst exponent takes values outside the usually defined range, the relationship between the fractal dimension and the Hurst exponent does not fully correspond to the known B. Mandelbrot set. It seems necessary to conduct a deep and thorough study of the results obtained when using the above and, possibly, other methods for studying the intensity of traffic flows on street-and-road networks.
