Relationship between OsCam1-1 and OsNUC1 gene expression in salt-stress respone in rice Oryza sativa L.

Nucleolin1 (OsNUC1) is a salt stress-responsive gene of which the role in rice is implicated in salt tolerance. The principal objective of this study was to understand the regulation of OsNUC1 gene expression under salinity stress. Promoter region of OsNUC1 was cloned from two pairs of rice cultivars/lines; including a salt-sensitive cultivar, Leung Pra Tew 123 (LPT123), and its salt-resistant mutated line, Leung Pra Tew 123-TC171 (LPT123-TC171), as well as a salt-sensitive cultivar, Khao Dawk Mali 105 (KDML105) and its salt-resistant introgression line, FL530-IL. It was found that nucleotide sequence of OsNUC1 promoter contained important cis-regulatory elements that are associated with dehydration/salt responsive gene expression, i. e. MYB and MYC recognition sites, dehydration responsive element (DRE), and ABA-responsive elements (ABREs). Sequence comparison among the four rice cultivars/lines revealed that OsNUC1 promoter from the cultivar LPT123 and KDML105 were identical. However, They were different from those of LPT123-TC171 and FL530-IL in that the promoter of those lines exhibited greater number of MYB and MYC recognition sites and ABREs. These cis-element variations found on the gene promoter might be a cause for the distinct OsNUC1 expression patterns/levels in response to salinity amongst the rice cultivars/lines. Furthermore, the effect of the salt-stress sensor OsCam1-1 on OsNUC1 gene expression under salinity was assessed. It was found that salt stress-responsive expression of OsNUC1 was positively correlated with OsCam1-1 transcript levels, suggesting the involvement of Ca2+/calmodulin signaling in regulation of OsNUC1 gene expression under salinity. Moreover, in this study, putative calmodulin-binding R2R3-MYB transcription factors were identified from the rice genome, seven of which showed potential to interact with calmodulin. Four of the putative R2R3-MYB proteins were selected for a test of interaction with the salt-stress sensor OsCaM1-1 by yeast two-hybrid assay. However, the assay revealed the absence of protein interaction.

Anti-electromagnetic interference and calibration schemes of flexible current sensor tag for reliable current detection in household appliance

The paper presents both anti-inference packaging and effective calibration schemes for accurate current detection in household appliance using flexible current tags. The sensor with NiFe C-clamp stripes can effectively prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) effect and reduce the measurement error down to less than 2%, while the external current source is placed 1cm away from the power cord to be detected. Meanwhile, an effective calibration scheme using two sensor coils with a designated separation is proposed and experimentally validated for accurate current detection based on a quadratic polynomial approximation.

QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION OF HYDROPHILIC SUBSTANCES OF FRUITS AND PEDUNCLES OF THE CANDY TREE (HOVENIA DULCIS THUNB) AND FIG LEAVES (FICUS CARICA L.)

This study was conducted in order to expand knowledge about the composition of fig leaves, as well as the fruits of the candy tree and their edible stems, seeds and seedless parts of fruits, as well as bare branches. It showed that the dry powder obtained as a result of drying the November fig leaves of the Sarı Abşeron variety from the Guba district (Azerbaijan) in air at room temperature contains quite a lot of ascorbic acid - 33.76 mg/100 g. While the mass fraction of the total amount of simple sugars was at a relatively low level - 4.83%/100 g. This allows them to be used in the preparation of dietary teas and C-vitamin drinks. In the total mass of the stems of the candy tree from the Geokchai period of mid-December, their edible part (peduncles) accounted for 81.5%, which is a good condition for organizing their collection and processing. Analyses have shown that in fleshy peduncles the content of simple sugars is 27.98 g / 100 g, vitamin C is 35.20 mg/ 100 g, and the bare stems and seeds are rich in common polyphenols. The results obtained can be useful for nutritionists, innovation managers in the production of therapeutic and prophylactic beverages and their manufacturers.

Refractive indices of layers and optical simulations of Cu(In,Ga)Se<sub>2</sub> solar cells

Cu(In,Ga)Se<sub>2</sub> -based solar cells have reached efficiencies close to 23%. Further knowledge-driven improvements require accurate determination of the material properties. Here, we present refractive indices for all layers in Cu(In,Ga)Se<sub>2</sub> solar cells with high efficiency. The optical bandgap of Cu(In,Ga)Se<sub>2</sub> does not depend on the Cu content in the explored composition range, while the absorption coefficient value is primarily determined by the Cu content. An expression for the absorption spectrum is proposed, with Ga and Cu compositions as parameters. This set of parameters allows accurate device simulations to understand remaining absorption and carrier collection losses and develop strategies to improve performances.

From In-Person to Online Teaching

Restrictions from the COVID-19 pandemic forced many teachers across the United States to teach their students remotely using online teaching strategies. Analyzing teachers' perceptions and expectations of online teaching before and during the pandemic help stakeholders understand how to better handle the challenges of online learning. The literature review examines the traditional differences between teaching online and in-person courses, challenges faced when teaching online courses, and teacher perceptions of online learning. The survey method was used to collect data on the experiences of online teaching before and during the pandemic from ninth through twelfth grade teachers in a North Texas school district. The study results show that factors such as a teacher age or years of experience had less influence determining if they were prepared for online teaching. Rather, factors like a teacher school campus, prior experience, and access to support structures correlated more to teachers having a high level of preparedness for online teaching.

A Melanic Pieris Rapae from Michigan (Lepidoptera: Pierdae)

The Arthur J. Yates collection of Michigan Lepidoptera, recently donated to Michigan State University (see Fischer, 1967), contained a striking melanic male cabbage butterfly [Pieris rapae (Linnaeus)] (Figs. 1, 2) now incorporated into the MSU series. Yates collected the specimen on 29 May 1934 in Roseville, Macomb County, near the western shore of Lake St. Clair in southeastern Michigan. An examination of the androconia and genitalia, using the characters described by Chang (1963), assured proper identification of the specimen. Although we have found no record of a similar rapae taken in North America, there are some named European forms of various species of Pieris that resemble our specimen.

“In a Proper Home”

In all times and in all societies, there have been children who for various reasons have not been able to grow up with their biological parents. The solutions to the problems have varied; in Sweden, most of the children have been placed in foster care. Because of the act regulating state childcare passed in 1926, child welfare boards were established in the municipalities. These boards were responsible for placing children with foster parents and for supervising foster homes. Foster parents were required to be suitable in order to be allowed to take care of a foster child. This article analyzes conceptions of foster parents’ suitability in relation to perceptions of foster children’s needs during the twentieth century. This study is based on document analysis of the child welfare practice. Via a long-term analysis, the study reveals continuity as well as changes over time. Major changes took place in the 1960s and 1970s with new requirements on foster parents due to changes in which children were placed in care and changing perceptions of childhood and parenthood in the society.

Biochemical impact of microorganism and enzymatic activities in food and pharmaceutical industries

Bio catalytic activity of microorganisms and enzymes have been explored for centuries to yield bread, wine, vinegar and with some common products without knowledge about the biochemical basis of their properties. Due to their established catalytic activity, stability, simplicity of biosynthesis and higher optimization when compared with plants and animal enzymes, microbes and enzymes are now widely used in the food and medical industries. Enzymes usage across diverse industries (such as food, agriculture, chemicals, and medicines) is rapidly on the increase owing to their characteristic rapid processing time, low energy requirements, affordability, non-toxic and environmental friendliness. Therefore, toxic chemicals from the domestic environment and various industries (e.g. phenols, nitriles and amines) can be degraded or converted by microbes. This review is geared towards discussing the present-day technical and scientific involvement of ubiquitous organisms (microorganisms) and the production of enzymes with their present status in global enzyme market among various industries.

Forest Analysis Using SAR Tomography and Maximum Likelihood Inspired Spectral Estimation

This paper treats the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) tomography (TomoSAR) non-linear inverse problem, within the framework of maximum likelihood (ML) estimation theory. In this context, a novel non-parametric spectral analysis (SA) technique, addressed in a closed fixed-point iterative fashion, is presented. The main goal of the proposed approach is to provide resolution-enhancement, with suppression of artifacts and ambiguity levels re-duction, to an initial estimate of the continuous power spectrum pattern (PSP), retrieved using the celebrated matched spatial filter (MSF) beamforming technique. The feature enhancing capabilities of the proposed method are corroborated via processing L-band airborne multi-baseline SAR data of the German Aerospace Center (DLR), acquired by the F-SAR system over the forested test site of Froschham, Germany, in 2017.

Moving towards music: Viewing early years musical engagement through the lenses of movement, interaction, motivation, agency, identity and context

This article provides a broad overview of the theoretical approaches underpinning our understanding of early musical development, and considers how this sets the foundation for later development across the lifespan. Through a review of research evidence and theory, I argue for the importance of interaction in thinking about musical development: movement is at the heart of theories of development; interaction and synchrony form the foundation for music learning; and motivation, agency and identity shape patterns of early engagement with music. The importance of setting these activities in context is also emphasized: for parents, teachers and researchers to fully understand young children’s musical experiences, it is vital to consider the cultural contexts and histories of the musical materials, the listener and the situation, as well as how these interact.

Variational estimators for the parameters of Gibbs point process models

This paper proposes a new estimation technique for fitting parametric Gibbs\npoint process models to a spatial point pattern dataset. The technique is a\ncounterpart, for spatial point processes, of the variational estimators for\nMarkov random fields developed by Almeida and Gidas. The estimator does not\nrequire the point process density to be hereditary, so it is applicable to\nmodels which do not have a conditional intensity, including models which\nexhibit geometric regularity or rigidity. The disadvantage is that the\nintensity parameter cannot be estimated: inference is effectively conditional\non the observed number of points. The new procedure is faster and more stable\nthan existing techniques, since it does not require simulation, numerical\nintegration or optimization with respect to the parameters.\n

Analytical Investigations of Spin-Spin, Spin-Other-Orbit and Combined Mechanisms of Zero-Field Splitting for 3d<sup>3</sup> Ions at Trigonal Symmetry

A new method of obtaining approximate analytical expressions of zero-field splitting (ZFS) has been proposed. By analyzing the magnetic interaction mechanisms which affect the properties of ZFS of ground 4 A 2 state for 3d 3 ions at trigonal symmetry, and comparing with the calculated results of complete diagonalization method, the approximate analytical expressions of the contribution to zero-field splitting of 4 A 2 state from spin-spin (SS), spin-other-orbit (SOO), and combined mechanisms have been obtained. Also the applicability of these approximate analytical expressions has been analyzed. It is shown that the approximate analytical expressions are suitable in a wide crystal field parameters range.

Managing care in the community: Analysis of a training workshop

Summary Managing mental illness in the community is an anxiety provoking business. Yet the legislative emphasis on business management and rapid re-structuring both creates anxiety in workers and carers and appears to devalue those traditional psychotherapeutic skills which facilitate the containment of anxiety. Anxieties that are put out of mind (not contained) have damaging and dangerous consequences for carers, users and members of the public. This paper is about a ten-week workshop with the task of providing a safe, constructive setting where the anxieties generated by community care of the adult mentally ill could be identified, addressed and thought about. The developments within the workshop are analysed as the process shifts back and forth between paranoid-schizoid and depressive position modes of functioning gradually progressing towards the latter. Members gradually found the ability to combine therapeutic and business management skills so that they could regain their authority in relation to the work while retaining an openness to mental disturbance in others and in themselves. This emerged through a greater appreciation of the complex relationships that exist within communities. In this way the workshop also offered members a model of containment that could be internalised.

Integrated Reporting and Agency Costs: International Evidence from Voluntary Adopters

We examine whether the practice of integrated reporting (IR) can reduce agency problems between managers and investors, resulting in lower agency costs. We construct a sample of firms that voluntarily use IR in practice, drawn from 35 countries, and find that firms that apply IR practice more extensively (high IR firms) are associated with lower levels of agency costs and more negative year-to-year changes in agency costs compared to other IR firms (low IR firms). We also find that the relation between the level of IR practice and agency costs is more negative in countries with a stakeholder orientation than in countries with a shareholder orientation. Additionally, the effectiveness of IR is more pronounced in diversified firms that face greater agency problems. Our results are robust in a series of additional tests that address endogeneity. Overall, our evidence is consistent with IR having a disciplining role for managers.

CONSUMING THE NATION: NATIONAL DAY PARADES IN SINGAPORE

By suspending belief in their subject of study, and adopting a methodological distance from it, most social researchers are deconstructionists at heart if not in name. The idea of ‘the nation ’ has now been deconstructed, principally by scholars such as Ernest Gellner (1964), Benedict Anderson (1983), and Eric Hobsbawm and Terence Ranger (1983). The sense of nations as historical contingencies and cultural constructions forces us to acknowledge the artificiality or constructedness of nationality. If individuals find the ‘nation ’ too abstract an idea to imagine or too distant from everyday life to identify with, then governments and political leaders will turn to more concrete symbols to personify, reify and objectify the nation (Kertzer 1988: 6). The nation is concretized very much as material object; flag, food, product or visual icon. National élites are at the same time cultural producers involved in the business of concocting things that provide a focus of national belongingness with which a collectivity can readily identify. The nation is therefore a commodity to be consumed (Foster 1991:
