A. ; Haschick, A. D. ; Buckley, D. ; Schmelz, J. T. Abstract Extragalactic absorption of hydroxyl is reported for the galaxies NGC 520, NGC 2623, and NGC 6240. H I absorption has also been detected in these galaxies. The properties of the H I and OH absorption features are compared for these galaxies and for other galaxies with absorption in both OH and H I. the hyperfine ratio for the 1667 and 1665 MHz hydroxyl transitions for most extragalactic absorption lines falls within LTE range. The characteristics of extragalactic OH absorption lines are consistent with the existence of dense molecular disks in the inner parts of the galaxies. An asymmetry in a number of extragalactic OH absorption lines suggests a peculiar velocity structure for the absorbing molecular disk.

‘Master and Servers’: Collective Labour Rights and Private Government in the Contemporary World of Work

This paper explores the issues of subordination and authority in the contemporary world of work as they are exacerbated by new forms of work-surveillance that track emotions and mental states of workers by means of artificial intelligence, predictive algorithms and big data. It discusses subordination and submission in the contemporary work arrangements, against by highlighting how new technologies and business practices expand hierarchy and forms of private government beyond the scope of the employment relationship. It explores some of the technologies and practices that magnify and expand managerial powers to unprecedented levels, by tracking and strictly monitoring workers’ emotional and mental states. It also highlights how collective labour rights represent the best counterbalance to restrain these practices and curbing modern forms of private government in the workplace. It concludes by discussing how the distinction between the traditional functions of collective rights, the ‘civil liberty’ function and the ‘industrial’ one is increasingly blurred and arguing that an expansion of the personal scope of collective rights is crucial in this regard.

Efficient Inoculation of <i>Rice black‐streaked dwarf virus</i> to Maize Using <i>Laodelphax striatellus</i> Fallen

Abstract Maize rough dwarf disease caused by Rice black‐streaked dwarf virus ( RBSDV ) is the most important disease of maize in China. Although deploying disease resistant hybrids would be the most effective way to control the disease, development of resistant hybrids has been limited by virus transmission rates that are too low for effective screening. An efficient inoculation technique for RBSDV was developed using L aodelphax striatellus Fallen, in which a virus‐free planthopper colony was developed and viruliferous planthoppers were obtained by allowing a 3‐ to 4‐day acquisition access period on RBSDV ‐infected wheat plants. Planthoppers were then allowed a 25‐ to 28‐day latent period on wheat seedlings followed by a 3‐day inoculation access period on two‐to‐three‐leaf stage maize seedlings. By 35 days postinoculation, susceptible hybrid ‘Zhengdan 958’, inbred lines of ‘Ye 107’ and ‘Ye 478’ plants showed 100% RBSDV infection with symptoms of stunting plants, darkening leaves and white waxy swellings on underside of leaves. At tasseling stage, average disease indices were from 96.4 to 100.0%. Enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assays were correlated with the presence of symptoms. The high efficiency of RBSDV transmission obtained using this technique provides a reliable procedure to screen for RBSDV resistance in maize.

Effect of student team achievement division through WebQuest on EFL students’ argumentative writing skills and their instructors’ perceptions

This study investigated the effectiveness of integrating Student Team Achievement Division (STAD), a structured cooperative learning method, and WebQuest, an inquiry-based technological model (IBTM) on developing university English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students’ advanced-level argumentative writing skills and enhancing instructors’ positive perceptions about teaching and learning. The study, which was undertaken over a 12-week academic semester, employed a mixed methods pre-test/post-test control/experimental group design whereby six intact rhetoric classes were randomly assigned to experimental and control conditions. The experimental group participants (N = 54) were enrolled in four classes and received argumentative writing instruction incorporating STADIBTM whereas their control group counterparts (N = 24) were enrolled in two classes and received the same argumentative writing instruction without STADIBTM. Four instructors who were involved with the experimental group received training on the implementation of STADIBTM. Qualitative data collection and analysis were utilized. The argumentative essay pre-tests and post-tests along with pre-treatment and post-treatment surveys were used to collect data. The quantitative results were evaluated using ANCOVA analyses. The findings showed that only the less skilled participants of the experimental and control groups were able to significantly improve their argumentative writing. However, their instructors were able to develop more positive pedagogical perceptions and perceived fewer challenges because of STADIBTM-based instruction. Further recommendations are given.

LOCAL CONTENT IN BRAZILIAN OIL AND GAS AUCTIONS

[pt] Nesse artigo, estudamos os leilões de petróleo e gás no Brasil para medir o impacto de requerimentos de conteúdo local nos lances realizados, o que nos permite estimar o seu impacto na receita obtida pelo governo. O caso brasileiro é particularmente atrativo, uma vez que houve variação significativa das exigências de conteúdo local ao longo do anos. Nas rodadas em que os requerimentos foram mais altos, observamos uma mudança significativa no comportamento dos participantes dos leilões: o bônus de assinatura médio em blocos offshore caiu de uma média de 57 milhões de reais nas primeiras rodadas para apenas 10,6 milhões de reais, e o número médio de lances por bloco caiu de 0,92 para 0,12. Nosso objetivo é responder em que medida a elevação das exigências de conteúdo local afetaram participação e receita nos leilões. Nós desenvolvemos e estimamos um modelo estrutural de leilões dentro do arcabouço de valores comuns que inclui a decisão de entrada e lances em múltiplas dimensões, incluindo um bônus e um percentual de conteúdo local. Nossos resultados mostram que as exigências de conteúdo local elevam os custos em blocos em águas profundas em 14 por cento. A receita governamental em leilões nessas áreas poderia ser muito maior em um contrafactual sem exigências de conteúdo local, contabilizando 17 bilhões de reais em receita de bônus de assinatura apenas em águas profundas. Em blocos em terra, não encontramos diferenças significativas de custo local e estrangeiro.

Cascading effects of host plant inbreeding on the larval growth, muscle molecular composition, and flight capacity of an adult herbivorous insect

Summary A primary function of adult winged insects is dispersal. Limiting larval dietary intake (partial starvation) has been shown to affect the flight muscle metabolism of adult moths reared on artificial diet, but a more ecologically relevant question is whether natural variation in host plant quality can lead to differences in the flight capacity of adult insects. Recent studies have shown that inbreeding compromises plant antiherbivore defences. We created inbred and outbred progeny from locally collected horsenettle ( Solanum carolinense L.) and examined how host plant inbreeding affects the growth, development, and flight muscle physiology of tobacco hornworm ( Manduca sexta L.), a specialist herbivore on Solanaceae. We tested the hypothesis that within population genetic variation in host plant quality, resulting from inbreeding, can create significant changes to the larval development and flight physiology of an adult insect. We found that Manduca larvae reared on inbred horsenettle plants grew faster and developed into larger pupae compared to larvae reared on outbred plants. Adult flight metabolic rate was greater in adults reared on inbred plants compared to outbred plants, and this elevation was independent of body mass when we excluded one plant family that produced small, low metabolic rate moths regardless of breeding regime. Differences in mass‐specific flight metabolism were associated with changes in alternative splicing of troponin t, a flight muscle protein that regulates muscle contraction. These results show that host plant inbreeding can create effects that cascade through larval and pupal development to affect dispersal‐related traits of the adult stage. Hence, plant inbreeding may also impact herbivore population dynamics, particularly their ability to spread away from, and possibly into, isolated patches of inbred plants creating increased herbivore pressure on these plant populations. More generally, our findings reveal that changes in population biology at one trophic level can affect the metabolic physiology and flight capacity of an animal at a higher trophic level.

Seasonal Variations of THMs in Saudi Arabian Drinking Water

Samples collected from the distribution systems of eight major cities in Saudi Arabia showed that trihalomethanes (THMs) occurred in all the water supplies. Concentrations ranged between 0.03 and 41.7 μg/L, much lower than the 25O‐μg/L limit set by the Saudi Arabian Standards Organization. Median total THM concentrations in the cities of Riyadh, Jeddah, Madinah, Makkah, and Abha were higher during the summer than in the winter. In addition, THM concentrations were low in cities that did not mix groundwater and desalinated water. Brominated THMs dominated (with bromoform the most abundant) and existed at the highest concentration levels, whereas chloroform was the least prevalent compound. This is the opposite of the occurrence pattern found in almost all water distribution systems worldwide.

Essay on the simplification effected by the codes of law prepared and adopted for British India, and the desirability of framing similar codes for England, Ireland, and Scotland

The formation of codes, or of consolidated statutes relating to portions of Indian law, has taken place within the last few years. The greater portion of this work was carried out in the year 1872. The first statute on this subject became law in 1859. The public are still ignorant of the extent of this great legal reform?the difficulties encountered and the success achieved in this undertaking. In order to form a judgment as to whether what has been, carried out in India can or ought to be attempted in England, it is necessary to consider precisely what has been done in the former country.\nIt is necessary to examine shortly, in-the first place, the state of the Indian law, previous to the passing of these statutes; secondly, the form in which they have been passed; lastly, whether, tested by experience, they have proved successful.

Path Loss Analysis Considering Atmospheric Refractivity and Precipitation for Air-to-Ground Radar

This letter reports a correlation analysis of path loss considering atmospheric refractivity and precipitation in an air-to-ground radar application. For the path loss estimation, the refractivity and rainfall attenuation models are derived using actual atmospheric data. The path loss along the range and altitude is obtained using parabolic equation software tool (PETOOL). The digital terrain elevation data (DTED) of the Suwon-Osan area, the radar antenna beam pattern, and environmental models are employed in the PETOOL. Then, we expand the path loss calculation in an azimuthal scan to observe the illuminated field intensity on the ground for a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) application. The results confirm that the illuminated field intensity for SAR applications is closely related to refractivity and precipitation.

Deprived people less likely to get treatment to prevent heart disease.

At Nottingham City PCT, with our own set of inequalities due to deprivation, we were very interested to read Peter Brindle et al 's powerful paper.1

It is clearly an important issue that the recommended risk assessment tools may be contributing to these health inequalities.

I have three questions I would like to invite the authors to comment on: 

1. For our deprived areas of Nottingham, what practical implications does this have? I hope it will not be long until the QOF addresses primary prevention but at present at the practice level we have no means of altering primary care activity. Perhaps we could all look at those in the deprived areas who are at increased vascular risk but who currently score below the threshold for …

Visitors’ motivational factors in National Park Plitvice Lakes, Croatia

Nature and natural parks have fascinated travelers for many years. Today millions of visitors travel to explore the authenticity of these destinations. This study aims to identify what motivates tourists to visit natural heritage sites, especially National Park Plitvice Lakes, which has been one of UNESCO’s World Heritage sites since 1978. Research questions aim to provide answers to which push and pull factors of motivation, and which other motivation factors influence the visitors’ decision to visit the National Park Plitvice Lakes. Further it aims to provide recommendations of these motivational factors for the site management. Crompton’s (1979) and Dann’s (1981) push and pull motivation model is used as a theoretical framework for this stydy. \n\nThe method used in this study was a questionnaire-based survey. The survey was self-administered and the data was collected from 415 visitors in National Park Plitvice Lakes between July 10th and July 25th 2014. The questionnaires were analyzed using Webropol, Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel. The study identifies five push factors of motivation influencing visitors’ decision making; novelty seeking, family togetherness, curiosity, need for escape and relaxation, and nature appreciation. The three pull factors this study identified were natural resources, role of natural heritage site, and location. Other motivational factors which played a role in visitors’ decision making were found in this study as; role of social media and recommendation, uniqueness of landscape, and the image of the place. \n\nA better understanding of the visitors’ behaviour and their motives for travelling is crucial for providing good services for the customers. Therefore, the findings of this study present implementations and recommendations for marketing and sales, gate and ground managers and for the administrators of National Park Plitvice Lakes. Marketing and sales could offer more information about the possibilities in the Park through all seasons, using the social media, such as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Gate and ground managers could evoke the interest of visitors with different leaflets and bro-chures, and administrators could bring more story and history of the Park alongside waterfalls and lakes.

Multimodal Approach with CAR-T and CAR-NK Cells for Synergistic Action toTreat Cancer

Recent years have seen a craze about the T-cell immunotherapy for B-cell malignancies, and there is growing interest in NK-CAR therapy. In this paper, I discuss the similarities and differences between the CARs in the NK and T-Cells. Further, explore the possible theoretical concept of a multimodal approach towards treating cancer. Whether the two genetically modified cells could provide an added advantage acting synergistically to complement each other’s therapeutic qualities or counteract each other’s downfall. This short communication is an attempt to pique interest to understand the mechanisms of NK cell and T cell biological interaction in the presence of a therapeutic weapon “CAR” to target tumor.

Lipid Management in Patients Presenting With Acute Coronary Syndromes: A Review

Abstract Despite many improvements in its prevention and management, acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the developed world. Lipid management is an important part of secondary prevention after ACS, but many patients currently remain undertreated and do not attain guideline‐recommended levels of low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol reduction. This review details the current state of evidence on lipid management in patients presenting with ACS, provides directions for identification of patients who may benefit from early escalation of lipid‐lowering therapy, and discusses novel lipid‐lowering medication that is currently under investigation in clinical trials. Moreover, a treatment algorithm aimed at attaining guideline‐recommended low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol levels is proposed. Despite important advances in the initial treatment and secondary prevention of ACS, ≈20% of ACS survivors experience a subsequent ischemic cardiovascular event within 24 months, and 5‐year mortality ranges from 19% to 22%. Knowledge of the current state of evidence‐based lipid management after ACS is of paramount importance to improve outcomes after ACS.
