MADFORWATER. WP3 Adaptation of technologies for efficient water management and treated wastewater reuse in agriculture. Task3.2 Engineering innovative irrigation technologies adapted to the target Mediterranean African Countries and to treated wastewater reuse. Subtask3.2.1 Efficient low-pressure mini-sprinkler adapted to treated wastewater

The data set consists of experimental data from lab evaluation to characterize droplet-size distribution of new sprinkler and drift/transport mechanism in controlled (i.e. wind tunnel) conditions. This works aims at obtaining an optimal water distribution from a localized irrigation micro-sprinkler. Similar data have been collected on standard irrigation sprinklers, the objective of this MADFORWATER research is to control the droplet size spectrum to minimize drift (smaller droplets carried by the wind) and compaction (bigger droplets that impact on the soil and induce crusting) risks.

A Novel Point-to-Point Energy Transmission Voltage Equalizer for Series-Connected Supercapacitors

In view of the nonuniform voltage of series-connected supercapacitors (SCs), a new voltage equalizer was designed. This voltage equalizer is composed of a switching network circuit and an isolated dc/dc converter. A switching network greatly simplifies the circuit over a traditional switch driver by using electrical potential difference between series-connected SCs to drive switches. It provides pathways for all SCs that are series connected. Each SC can be connected to an isolated dc/dc converter individually by the use of a switching network. Energy will be transmitted between any two cells directly; thus, it is also called point-to-point energy transmission. Detailed operation analyses and an equalizing strategy were presented for the voltage equalizer. A prototype for 12 SCs that are series connected was built based on the new voltage equalizer, and an experiment was performed for series-connected SCs with a nonuniform initial voltage. The experimental results showed that the voltage equalizer has the ability to eliminate nonuniform voltage of the series-connected SCs effectively. Furthermore, this voltage equalizer not only can be used for SCs but can be used for traditional secondary batteries as well.

College as a Marriage Market

What explains the strong educational homogamy and assortativity that we observe among the college educated?We use Norwegian data to address identification and measurement challenges and find that colleges are local marriage markets that matter greatly for whom one marries, not because of the pre-determined traits of the admitted students but as a direct result of attending a particular institution at a given time.The effects of enrollment on homogamy that we uncover are sufficiently large to explain the majority of the strong educational sorting among the college educated in our data.We also examine the mechanisms behind these effects and explore implications for individual and family earnings.

Activity of gentamicin against Pseudomonas and hospital Staphylococci.

Gentamicin is a new basic antibiotic complex isolated from an actinomycete, Microrn?nospora purpurea, in the Research Laboratories of the Schering Corporation, New Jersey. It consists of two components, referred to as gentamicin Q and gentamicin C2, which are closely related in structure and have a similar antibacterial spectrum. Both substances contain a 2-deoxystreptamine component and are chemically related to the streptomycin group of antibiotics (Rosselet et al., 1963). Gentamicin is supplied as the sulphate, which is a white powder readily soluble in water. Gentamicin has been shown to be bactericidal in vitro against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including hospital drug-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus and coliform bacilli, and has outstanding activity against Pseudomonas pyocyanea (see White, 1963 ; Weinstein et al., 1963 ; Rubenis et al., 1963 ; Rabinovich et al., 1963). Early clinical trials showed that the antibiotic is effective in the treatment of infections of the urinary tract due to many Gram-negative bacilli, including Ps. pyocyanea (Bulger et ed., 1963 ; Jao and Jackson, 1963 ; Bray ton and Louria, 1964 ; Klein et al., 1964), but if the blood level rises to about 15 /xg./ml. or more there is a danger of severe vestibular damage (Jao and Jackson, 1964). Stone et al. (1964, 1965) reported the successful treatment of severe burns with Ps. pyocyanea septicaemia, both systemic treatment and local gentamicin ointment being used. The present investigation was undertaken in order to compare the activity of gentamicin with that of other streptomycin-like antibiotics against strains of Staph. aureus and coliform bacilli isolated in a British hospital.

Determination of the concentration of low molecular fraction of Сandida Albicans proteins by ELISA method at subcutaneous introduction in candidiasis therapy

The purpose of this work was to determine the C. albicans protein concentration at the subcutaneous introduction. The therapeutic effect of C. albicans proteins has been studied in white mice. Animals were injected intraperitoneally with a suspension of C. albicans fungus. After five days and repeatedly, after 14 days, mice were infected subcutaneously with proteins of Candida cells of volume 0.2 mL. Fourteen days after each injection, the determination of the protective functions of the animal body has been carried out by the titer of specific C. albicans antibodies. According to the data obtained during studies on the treatment of candidiasis, it was found that in the subcutaneous administration after the first and second injection with a concentration of low molecular weight fraction of the C. albicans protein of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 mg/mL antibodies titers have doubled, indicating a lack of activation of the body's protective functions. Proteins of low molecular weight fraction of C. albicans with concentrations 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 mg/mL do not activate the body's defence mechanisms.

Adaptive responses to drought of two<i>Retama raetam</i>subspecies from Tunisia

Abstract Aims The survival and ecological distribution of plants in arid habitats are mainly conditioned by water availability and physiological adaptations to withstand drought. In the present study, we have compared the physiological responses to drought of two Retama raetam (retama) subspecies from Tunisia, one of them living under the desert climate (subsp. raetam) and the other one growing on the coast (subsp. bovei). Methods To physiologically characterize the two R. raetam subspecies, and to elucidate their main mechanisms underlying their tolerance to drought stress, parameters related to seed germination, growth, photosynthesis (net photosynthetic rate, intracellular CO2 concentration, transpiration rate, stomatal conductance and water-use efficiency) and accumulation of osmolytes (proline, glycine betaine [GB] and soluble sugars) were determined in 4-month-old plants subjected to stress for up to 1 month. Important Findings Drought significantly inhibited germination, growth and all the evaluated photosynthetic parameters. Plants of R. raetam subsp. bovei were severely affected by drought after 3 weeks of treatment when photosynthesis rates were up to 7-fold lower than in the controls. At the same time, proline and GB significantly accumulated compared with the irrigated controls, but much less than in R. raetam subsp. raetam; in the latter subspecies, proline and GB increased to levels 24- and 6-fold higher, respectively, than in the corresponding controls. In summary, the population living in the desert region exhibited stronger tolerance to drought stress than that adapted to the semiarid littoral climate, suggesting that tolerance in R. raetam is dependent on accumulation of osmolytes.

Children's Screen Content in an Era of Forced Migration: Copenhagen Workshop Briefing

Iraqi, Syrian and other refugees and migrants who undertake dangerous journeys to Europe are often viewed as a set of statistics. In thinking about how we reach young children with stories about migration, it is worth remembering that Europe has its own long history of forced migration, through invasion, persecution and deportation. This report summarises discussions at the second in a series of three workshops taking place as part of a one-year project funded by the Arts &amp; Humanities Research Council (AHRC) under the title ‘Collaborative Development of Children’s Screen Content in an Era of Forced Migration Flows: Facilitating Arab-European Dialogue’. Based on input from documentary film-makers, especially from Denmark and the Netherlands, as well as television executives, audience researchers, child’s rights advocates and Arab media practitioners, the Copenhagen Workshop Briefing summarises participants’ responses to films, news items, web series and advocacy videos dealing with children’s escape to Europe and their next steps. It looks in detail at the challenges of funding and distributing such material, the ethical risks in making it, and examples of content that shares cultural and political knowledge. Other briefings in the series are based on workshops in Manchester (December 2017) and Munich (May 2018). The project ends with a symposium in London in September 2018.

Explaining Mendelian Inheritance in Genetic Consultations: An IPR Study of Counselor and Counselee Experiences

Abstract The explanation of Mendelian inheritance is a key component of most genetic counselling consultations, yet no evidence base exists for this area of practice. This qualitative study used Interpersonal Process Recall (IPR) to explore how information about X‐linked inheritance is provided and received in genetic counseling. Twelve consultations involving two senior genetic counselors and 21 counselees were videotaped. Section(s) of videotape featuring the explanation were subsequently played back separately to both counselees and counselors and their responses and reflections recorded. All interviews were fully transcribed and analysed using the constant comparison method. A personalised diagram, drawn “live” by the counselor during the consultation was recalled by counselees as being central to their understanding of the “bottom line”. This helped bridge the gap between scientific information and their family experience and did not appear to require a baseline understanding of genetic concepts such as genes or chromosomes. Counselors reflected on the diagram's positive impact on the way they sequenced, paced and tailored the explanation. A positive counselor‐counselee relationship was vital even during this educative exchange: for counselees to feel at ease discussing complex genetic information and to help gauge counselee understanding.

New Benchmark Corpus and Models for Fine-grained Event Classification: To BERT or not to BERT?

We introduce a new set of benchmark datasets derived from ACLED data for fine-grained event classification and compare the performance of various state-of-the-art models on these datasets, including SVM based on TF-IDF character n-grams and neural context-free embeddings (GLOVE and FASTTEXT) as well as deep learning-based BERT with its contextual embeddings. The best results in terms of micro (94.3-94.9%) and macro F1 (86.0-88.9%) were obtained using BERT transformer, with simpler TF-IDF character n-gram based SVM being an interesting alternative. Further, we discuss the pros and cons of the considered benchmark models in terms of their robustness and the dependence of the classification performance on the size of training data.

Production of full length and splicing form of chymosin using pETexpression system in E-coli and investigation its enzyme activity and preplasmic secretion

Introduction: Chymosin (Rennin EC 3.4.23.4) is an aspartyl proteinas (the major proteolyticenzyme in the fourth stomach of the unweaned calf) that is formed by proteolytic activation fromzymogene prochymosin. The aim of his study was to produce the full length and splicing form ofchymosin using pETexpression system in E-coli and to assay the activity of expressed enzyme andpreplasmic secretion.Materials and Methods: The sense primer F-prochy(+) (5´-ggggccatgGCTGAGATCACCAGGA)including NCOI restriction site). The anti sense R-prochy(-) (5´-gggcggccgcGATGGCTTTGGCCAGC -3´) hybridizing to the C-terminal end of calf preprocymosincDNA and contains an additional NotI restriction site at its 5´-end . The cells were disrupted bysonication and proteins were purified by using Ni-NTA beads from Qiagen under native conditional.The preprochymosin and AS6 preprochymosin were activated at pH 4.7. The enzyme solutions werediluted 20-fold with 50 mM phosphate buffer .Results: Sequencing data analysis showed that the exon six has been spliced out and, therefore thegene product is 114 bp shorter in length, both chymosin forms were expressed together in E.coli.Under the same expression conditions, at least AS6 preprochymosin was produced 7-fold highexpression in comparison to a full-length recombinant chymosin. Following acid activation andneutralization, the purified fractions were tested in a qualitative milk clotting assay. The clottingactivity of preprochymosin and exon6-less preprochymosin were comparable.Conclusion: High expression of this alternatively expressed transcript in bacteria, and properfolding of the AS6 chymosin protein molecule in the absence of exon six are the two most importantaspects distinguished in this research.

Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is a relatively common cancer in men, with over one million cases reported annually worldwide. The most common type of prostate cancer is acinar adenocarcinoma, which starts from the gland cells within the prostate. A prostate specific antigen (PSA) test and a digital rectal examination (DRE) are initial tests used when a patient presents with symptoms of prostate cancer. If the DRE or the PSA test are suggestive of prostate cancer, a biopsy of the prostate may be undertaken, as a positive diagnosis of prostate cancer cannot be made on the basis of DRE or PSA testing alone. The way to obtain a biopsy is to use a technique known as a trans-rectal ultrasound (TRUS). The Gleason scale is used to determine how differentiated tumour cells are from normal prostate cells. Primary and secondary tumour cells are graded according to the Gleason scale and are then added together to from a Gleason score.

SETD2 loss of function as a new marker of advanced disease in systemic mastocytosis: biological and clinical implications

This project stems from the results of a WES analysis of a rare case of KIT mutation-negative mast cell leukemia (MCL), that identified biallelic inactivating mutations of the SETD2 gene. SETD2 is a tumor suppressor whose loss of function is implicated in solid tumors and leukemias. We thus moved to investigate the prevalence, the underlying mechanisms, the pathogenetic role and the ‘druggability’ of SETD2 loss of function in SM, and its clinical relevance. Screening of a validation cohort of 57 patients with various forms of SM for H3K36 trimethylation levels as a surrogate marker for SETD2 loss of function by WB showed reduced or absent levels in all cases with AdvSM, and significantly lower median SETD2 and H3K36 trimethylation levels resulted in patients with advanced SM as compared to patients with indolent SM. Thus, SETD2 impaired/loss of function can be considered a general phenomenon in SM, correlating with the aggressiveness of the disease. Interestingly, we uncovered a novel post-translational mechanism of hyperubiquitination and enhanced degradation of the protein, and that inhibition of proteasome-mediated degradation is able to rescue SETD2 expression and function. We explored the MDM2 ubiquitin role and the p53 checkpoint involvement. We demonstrated that phosphorylation by Aurora kinase A is the main trigger for this mechanism. We then tested proteasome inhibitor, MDM2 and AKA inhibitors in vitro in cell lines and primary patient cells aimed to revert SETD2 non genomic loss of function. We also explored the cellular effect of midostaurin. Finally, we investigated the clinical significance of SETD2 loss of function in a cohort of 88 patients with various forms of SM assessing the prognostic value of SET2 and H3K36 trimethylation levels in the context of other relevant clinical and laboratory variables, and found that reduced SETD2 and H3K36 trimethylation levels significantly correlate with shorter overall survival.

Correlation of coagulation states with prognosis of sudden deafness

Our retrospective study indicated that lower serum APTT and PT levels and higher fibrinogen (FIB) and D-dimer levels are characteristics associated with poor treatment responses among patients with sudden deafness. A combination of these levels had a high accuracy in identifying the nonresponders. APTT, PT, and serum levels of FIB and D-dimer could serve as strong predictors of sudden deafness, potentiating the use of these tests to identify patients who respond poorly to treatments.

Prevalence of tomato potato psyllid (&lt;i&gt;Bactericera cockerelli&lt;/i&gt; Sulc) on red capsicum fruit in choice and nochoice tests

Tomato potato psyllid (TPP; Bactericera cockerelli) was first recorded in New Zealand in 2006 Exports to Australia must be fumigated with methyl bromide (MB) to comply with New Zealands phytosanitary export certification requirements Fumigation reduces the quality of the capsicums In tests using high densities of TPP adults TPP laid eggs mainly on the top of the calyx and the stem and some on the body of the fruit although far fewer eggs than were laid on tomato or capsicum leaves Given the choice between capsicum fruit body stem and calyx or capsicum leaves 992995 of eggs were laid on leaves Nymphs that hatched from the few eggs laid on the calyx and stem did not survive indicating that capsicum fruit are a poor host for TPP No eggs were laid beneath the capsicum calyx Some exported capsicums are washed using high pressure washing equipment which might dislodge TPP eggs The very low incidence and survival of TPP on capsicum fruit could result in this fruit already meeting or exceeding the phytosanitary requirements of the importing country

Diagnosing for Liver Disease Prediction in Patients Using Combined Machine Learning Models

In the human body one of the most important organs is liver. If the regular functionality of the liver is disturbed then this condition is called disease affected liver. Therefore, an early stage of disease detection is more important which helps in disease prevention at starting stage with small medications. But, it is too difficult to identify Liver disease at early stages because symptoms are very less at the starting stage. Lab results with physical examination are involved in the Traditional methods. This paper aims to represent a Diagnosing for Liver disease prediction in Patients using Combined Machine Learning Models. Optimized three machine learning algorithms are used in accurate diagnosis of liver disease by the doctors and these are Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Decision Trees, K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN). With the help of these algorithms, given data is classified and results are produced. The future data is predicted with the help of past and present data in these machine learning algorithms. The accuracy results are produced by comparing three classification algorithms.
