Glucocorticoid regulation of mouse mammary tumor virus sequences in transgenic mice.

We have introduced a chimeric plasmid, pLTR2TK, containing the mouse mammary tumor virus (MTV) long terminal repeat (LTR) linked to the herpes simplex virus type 1 thymidine kinase gene into the mouse germ line by microinjection. In one mouse line, the thymidine kinase gene is appropriately expressed in the lactating mammary glands of heterozygous females; expression also occurs in the ovaries of these mice. In heterozygous males of this line, and in a male derived from another microinjection, transcription of these new germ line genes occurs in the testes and is specifically stimulated by glucocorticoid hormones. Thus, the MTV LTR may contain elements that allow its expression both in lactating mammary glands and in testicular tissue.

Robust Tracking Control for Rendezvous in Near-Circular Orbits

This paper investigates a robust guaranteed cost tracking control problem for thrust-limited spacecraft rendezvous in near-circular orbits. Relative motion model is established based on the two-body problem with noncircularity of the target orbit described as a parameter uncertainty. A guaranteed cost tracking controller with input saturation is designed via a linear matrix inequality (LMI) method, and sufficient conditions for the existence of the robust tracking controller are derived, which is more concise and less conservative compared with the previous works. Numerical examples are provided for both time-invariant and time-variant reference signals to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme when applied to the terminal rendezvous and other astronautic missions with scheduled states signal.

Cybersafety in education for the 21st century: A comparative study of Malaysia and Thailand

Education for the 21st Century must recognise cybersafety issues faced by students in&#13;\nschools. Cybersecurity threats are everywhere and students must be able to cope with&#13;\nan environment where cyber threats and risks persist. What are these threats and risks&#13;\nand how do students in Malaysia and Thailand handle them? This paper attempts to&#13;\ncompare and contrast cybersafety issues among school students in Malaysia and&#13;\nThailand. The sample for this survey comprised 1,896 students from Malaysia and&#13;\n1,336 students from Thailand. The quantitative research approach was used to explore&#13;\nand confirm relationship among variables. Four important factors influencing&#13;\ncybersafety among students in Malaysia comprise i. availability of help through&#13;\nsignificant others, parents and teachers (including counsellors), ii. accessing negative&#13;\nsites, iii. tendency to hide things from parents, and iv. feeling of discomfort when&#13;\nsurfing negative sites. On the other hand, factors in Thailand include: i. ready&#13;\navailability of help if bullied or proper avenues are available, ii. victim of&#13;\ncyberbullying, iii. experiences of cyberbullying, and iv. experiences with accessing&#13;\nnegative websites. The findings showed high construct reliability and high construct&#13;\nvalidity which was confirmed through Structural Equation Modeling. The study&#13;\nshowed that Malaysia and Thailand’s cybersafety issues differed significantly (p &lt; .05)&#13;\nin 6 constructs, i.e. i. existence of problematic situations or negative experiences, ii.&#13;\npeer pressure, iii. parent-children gap, iv. sexting, v. cyber-bullying, and vi. dealing&#13;\nwith negative experience or mediation strategies. The study recommended the&#13;\nfollowing: i. parents in both Malaysia and Thailand should play a pivotal role in their&#13;\nchildren’s well-being in cybersafety issues, ii. Malaysia and Thailand should develop&#13;\nlocal-based strategies to suit local contexts in cybersafety issues, and iii. overcoming&#13;\nnew cyber risks in Malaysia and Thailand should follow best practices in other&#13;\ncountries which have successfully overcome them.

Genetic mapping of loci associated with yield and their components in black common bean ( <i>Phaseolus vulgaris</i> L.)

Abstract The increase in world population linked to climate change leads to the need to develop more productive and more adapted cultivars of food species. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) mapping is a useful tool although, interaction between genotype and the environment is still a challenge. In this study, we sought to identify QTL related to grain yield and the production components in common beans ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) supported by QTL environment interaction. Two hundred eight recombinant inbred lines obtained from the Awauna UEM IPR88 Uirapuru common bean cross were evaluated in 2017, 2018, and 2019 in field conditions under a 15 × 15 triple lattice experimental design. QTL mapping was estimated using genotypic means and a genetic linkage map with 288 single nucleotide polymorphism markers. Five QTLs associated with plant height (PH), number of pods per plant (NPP), first pod height (FPH), 100‐seed weight (SW), and grain yield per plant (GYP) were identified on chromosomes Pv01, Pv04, Pv08, and Pv10. Interestingly, three of these QTLs were co‐localized for more than one trait, where the QTL for PH, NPP, and GYP co‐locate on Pv01, the QTL for PH and FPH co‐locate on Pv04, and the QTL for NPP and SW co‐locate on Pv08. In turn, on Pv10, two distinct QTLs were found for SW. The identification of these QTLs stands out in Brazil since relatively little research is directed at this economically important commercial group. It is noteworthy that the molecular markers found linked to the QTLs must later be validated to be used in a multi‐trait marker‐assisted selection.

Bio-inspired Functional Materials Converted from Nature Species

Biological materials naturally display an astonishing variety of sophisticated nanostructures that are difficult to obtain even with the most technologically advanced synthetic methodologies. Inspired from nature materials with hierarchical structures, many functional materials are developed based on the templating synthesis method. This review will introduce the way to fabricate novel functional materials based on nature bio-structures with a great diversity of morphologies, in State Key Lab of Metal Matrix Composites, Shanghai Jiao Tong University in near five years. We focused on replicating the morphological characteristics and the functionality of a biological species (e.g. wood, agriculture castoff, butterfly wings). We change their original components into our desired materials with original morphologies faithfully kept. Properties of the obtained materials are studied in details. Based on these results, we discuss the possibility of using these materials in photonic control, solar cells, electromagnetic shielding, energy harvesting, and gas sensitive devices, et al. In addition, the fabrication method could be applied to other nature substrate template and inorganic systems that could eventually lead to the production of optical, magnetic, or electric devices or components as building blocks for nanoelectronic, magnetic, or photonic integrated systems. These bio-inspired functional materials with improved performance characteristics are becoming increasing important, which will have great values on the development on structural function materials in the near future.

Interventricular Communications of the Child: Retrospective Study of 293 Cases atthe Dakar Chu

Interventricular communications (IVC) are non-cyanogenic congenital heart diseases characterized by dehiscence of the interventricular septum. It represents 20 to 30% of congenital heart diseases. Our objectives were to determine the hospital frequency of isolated IVC, to describe the clinical aspects, to assess medical and surgical management and to assess the prognosis. It is a retrospective descriptive and transversal study. All patients with isolated IVC aged 0 to 15 years were included. Sphinx plus2 software was used for database design and analysis. We collected 293 files, a prevalence of 44 per 1000. The average age at the time of diagnosis was 16 months. The sex ratio was 1.02. Recurrent infections accounted for 65.9%. Parental consanguinity was found in 35.8% of cases. Heart failure was noted in 7.5% of the cases, weight loss in 48.1%. Cardiomegaly was noted in 74.1% of cases with 54.9% of pulmonary hypervascularization. Perimembranous IVC was the most frequent with 84.6%. Large IVC represented 62.5% and multiple IVC 8.2%. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) was present in 58% of cases. Diuretics were prescribed in 76.5% of cases. Fifteen (15) catheterizations were performed, ie 5.1%. A complete cure was carried out in 20.1% of the cases. IVC are frequent, serious due to the repercussions, especially in the lungs. Surgical management of impacted forms should be improved.

Power Management Framework for Optical Infrastructure

The sustainability issue of modern infrastructures is an important topic, considering the always-increasing demand of bandwidth and the new requirements coming from the introduction of innovative applications and services enabled by the recent evolution of the hardware platforms and the related control and orchestrator technologies. If the power consumption of hardware platform has been reduced over the time by technological evolution, this is not compensated by the incremental demand of features and performances. For this reason, the only chance to reduce the infrastructure footprint is to put in place optimisation strategies, to guarantee the infrastructure scalability, being able to optimise the energy associated to a certain application, keeping alive only the needed resources for its deployment. Project INTENTO, focused in the design and development of a largescale network Cloud infrastructure simulator, reserves a specific focus on sustainability issue implementing a pervasive Power Management Subsystem as VNF instance. Scope of this paper is to report on the first results of this development, describing the key technology selection, the basic architectural approach and the development strategy of this very important feature. Particular emphasis is given to the modelling aspect, taking as a reference the ETSI 203 237 standard.

Introduction to the transverse spatial correlations in spontaneous parametric down-conversion through the biphoton birth zone

As a tutorial to the spatial aspects of Spontaneous Parametric Downconversion\n(SPDC), we present a detailed first-principles derivation of the transverse\ncorrelation width of photon pairs in degenerate collinear SPDC. This width\ndefines the size of a biphoton birth zone, the region where the signal and\nidler photons are likely to be found when conditioning on the position of the\ndestroyed pump photon. Along the way, we discuss the quantum-optical\ncalculation of the amplitude for the SPDC process, as well as its simplified\nform for nearly collinear degenerate phase matching. Following this, we show\nhow this biphoton amplitude can be approximated with a Double-Gaussian\nwavefunction, and give a brief discussion of the measurement statistics (and\nsubsequent convenience) of such Double-Gaussian wavefunctions. Next, we use\nthis approximation to get a simplified estimation of the transverse correlation\nwidth, and compare it to more accurate calculations as well as experimental\nresults. We then conclude with a discussion of the concept of a biphoton birth\nzone, using it to develop intuition for the tradeoff between the first-order\nspatial coherence and bipohoton correlations in SPDC.\n

Craniofacial tissues including tooth buds in fetal hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia

OBJECTIVE: Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) comprises defects in hair, teeth, and sweat glands. Disturbances in other ectodermal tissues have been associated with the condition. Our objective was to examine ectodermal craniofacial structures histologically in a fetus with HED and to compare the findings to similar structures in normal control fetuses. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A male fetus diagnosed with HED was therapeutically aborted in the 15th week of gestation. One male and two female healthy fetuses were used as normal controls. All fetuses were examined with parental consent, and had comparable sizes. Their bone maturation stage in the hand was identical. Tissue blocks from the craniofacial region were excised from all fetuses and prepared for histological analysis (formalin fixed, stained with toluidine blue or Alcian blue). The tissues examined were: tooth buds, skin and skin appendages, oral mucosa including minor salivary glands, major salivary glands, lacrimal glands, and adenohypophysis. RESULTS: Fewer tooth buds, minor salivary glands, and hair follicles were observed in the HED fetus as compared to controls. The structures of the epidermal components in the developing HED organs were loose and disorganised. The adhesion between the ectodermal and mesenchymal organ components in the HED fetus seemed to be disturbed.

The impact of fast fashion retailers' sustainable collections on corporate legitimacy: Examining the mediating role of altruistic attributions

Abstract In the context of the fast fashion industry, this study examined the efficacy of sustainable collections in achieving corporate legitimacy. We examine the ethical branding and organizational legitimacy relationship in the context of the fast fashion industry. We conducted an online experiment with the use of Amazon MTurk in the Unites States. The data were collected from female fast fashion users ( N = 389). The data analysis revealed that fast fashion retailers' sustainable collections had a positive impact on corporate legitimacy, CSR perception, brand trust, and purchase intention. This study also uncovered that the company's sustainable collections increased consumers' attributions to altruistic motives and consumers' altruistic attributions had a positive influence on corporate legitimacy, CSR perception, brand trust, and purchase intention. Furthermore, this study found the mediating role of altruistic attributions in explaining the impact of sustainable collections on these four outcome variables. Regarding the sustainable collections' design and production, managerial implications are described as the need to communicate the ethical approach and efforts.

Emerging Information Technology and Knowledge Management Capacity for Nonprofit Organizations

Advances in information technology (IT) improve functionality for major nonprofit organizations. Due to increased expectations, service needs and peer competition, nonprofits must prepare to incorporate IT-related resources such as emerging technology planning, web- based collaborative processes and constrained resource planning to obtain technological innovation and higher performance. The effective use of constrained resource management is crucial for the success of nonprofits. Although nonprofit organizations are familiar with common IT resources and applications, wide application of new methods and technology is required to build inter-dependent information resources and real-time decision making capacity. Nonprofit resource planning such as tracking inventory level, planning replenishment, and receiving continuous information updates can be measured through enterprise resource planning (ERP) and electronic supply chain (e-SC) management. IT implementation of ERP and e-SC in nonprofits contribute to improve collaboration among donors, partner organizations, governmental agencies, staff members, volunteers, local experts, clients and recipients. This article addresses critical IT procedures and emerging IT practices to improve nonprofit performance. The overall goal is to focus IT implementation in nonprofits to develop road maps to guide organization pathways, track progress and measure success for public services.

Turizm Sektöründe Tüketicilerin Şikayetlerini Bildirme Eğilimleri( Consumers’ Intentions to Report Their Complaints in the Tourism Industry)

Consumer complaints are an important factor for service providers; effective handling of consumer complaints can be a key to acquiring loyal customers. However, despite the abundance of studies on customer complaints regarding goods and service products of hotels and restaurants, there is a lack of research on customer complaints regarding tourism destinations. Aiming to specifically focus on customer complaints about a tourist destination, this study investigates (1) what types of complaints foreign tourists have, (2) how they tend to report their complaints and to whom and (3) what sorts of practical measures they recommend in order to resolve their own complaints. To achieve this, an on-site self-administered survey was undertaken on foreign charter tourists visiting the south-west part of Turkey during the summer of 2004. Results showed that tourists had several complaints and also suggestions about resolving their complaints, mostly with monetary compensation. The paper includes managerial implications and future research suggestions.

Early Night-Time Bracing for Mild Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Study Design Retrospective Cohort Study. Objectives To assess the efficacy and compliance of early night-time bracing in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis with curve magnitudes between the recently proposed early-intervention threshold (15°) and the traditional treatment threshold (25°) recommended by the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS). Methods This dual-center retrospective study included 153 AIS patients (Risser 0-3, Cobb angle 15°-25°) treated with the Dresdner Night-Time Brace (DNTB) between 2002 and 2021. Patient demographics, patient compliance, and radiographic outcomes were analyzed. Treatment success was defined by curve stabilization or regression. Statistical analysis was performed with significance set at P &lt; 0.05. Results The DNTB achieved a mean in-brace correction of 60.9%, moderately correlated with the initial Cobb angle. Compliance was high: 72.6% of patients were compliant, 15.0% partially compliant, and 12.4% non-compliant. The in-brace correction angle was associated with compliance but not with age, sex, or initial curve magnitude. Compliance significantly influenced outcomes ( P &lt; 0.05). Overall curve progression was 12.5%, but only 2.7% in compliant patients, compared to 30.4% and 47.4% in partially and non-compliant groups, respectively. Surgery was required in 10.5% of non-compliant cases. Conclusions Early intervention with the DNTB is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for mild AIS (15°-25°), with treatment success highly dependent on patient compliance. These findings underscore the importance of timely bracing and sustained compliance.

Cryo-EM structure of the fully assembled Elongator complex

Abstract Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules are essential to decode messenger RNA codons during protein synthesis. All known tRNAs are heavily modified at multiple positions through post-transcriptional addition of chemical groups. Modifications in the tRNA anticodons are directly influencing ribosome decoding and dynamics during translation elongation and are crucial for maintaining proteome integrity. In eukaryotes, wobble uridines are modified by Elongator, a large and highly conserved macromolecular complex. Elongator consists of two subcomplexes, namely Elp123 containing the enzymatically active Elp3 subunit and the associated Elp456 hetero-hexamer. The structure of the fully assembled complex and the function of the Elp456 subcomplex have remained elusive. Here, we show the cryo-electron microscopy structure of yeast Elongator at an overall resolution of 4.3 Å. We validate the obtained structure by complementary mutational analyses in vitro and in vivo. In addition, we determined various structures of the murine Elongator complex, including the fully assembled mouse Elongator complex at 5.9 Å resolution. Our results confirm the structural conservation of Elongator and its intermediates among eukaryotes. Furthermore, we complement our analyses with the biochemical characterization of the assembled human Elongator. Our results provide the molecular basis for the assembly of Elongator and its tRNA modification activity in eukaryotes.

Unholy Progeny: Psychic TV and Witch House at the Crossroads of Occultism in the Information Age

This article bridges two underground music networks that relied on inventive communications tactics to both obscure their movement and reach new followers: Genesis P-Orridge’s chaos magick sect Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth, with its artistic mouthpiece Psychic TV (c. 1981–1991), and the Internet-based electronic music micro-genre witch house (c. 2008–2013). Though outwardly synergetic in their aesthetic and operational commitments, a focus on the underlying occult agenda of each reveals an exploitative situation—witch house assumes the mantle of the Psychic TV/TOPY project, while concurrently undermining the ritual-driven “cultural engineering” that predicated its existence.
