Does corn phenological stage alter the attractiveness of herbivore-induced plant volatiles to the predatory lacewing Chrysoperla externa (Hagen, 1861)?

Plant chemical defenses can affect herbivores directly or indirectly through the emission of herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) that recruit natural enemies. Corn seedlings have high concentrations of 2,4-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-1,4-benzoxazin-3-one (DIMBOA) that deter aphids, but as concentration decreases over the course of plant phenology, plants become less resistant. We investigated whether corn phenological stage influences the attractiveness of Rhopalosiphum maidis (Fitch, 1856) - infested corn seedling volatiles to the predatory lacewing Chrysoperla externa (Hagen, 1861). In olfactometer, lacewings preferentially oriented to volatiles from aphid-infested over those by uninfested corn seedlings at V6 or V7 stages, but did not discriminate between volatiles from uninfested and aphid-infested V5-stage seedlings. Greater numbers of aphids died in V5 corn seedlings relative to those in V6 and V7 seedlings. Our results indicate that the lack of discrimination of the predatory lacewing to HIPVs emitted by V5 corn seedlings is due to insufficient induction given that they were more resistant to R. maidis.

ESTIMATING THE SHOCK ENVIRONMENT ENCOUNTERED DURING TRANSPORTATION OVER PUBLIC ROADS

The report describes an attempt to specify the distribution of shocks to packages during transportation over public roads. The method makes use of data collected in local government offices for road maintenance purposes. The main cause of discrete irregularities in the surface of an existing road were frost damage, subsidence and openings made by public utilities. The author discusses the current maintenance procedure and its effect on the road surface. An expression is derived for the incidence rate of all defects including manhole covers for trunk and secondary roads. Tables are given to show the distribution of patches by area, the period of temporary repair and the intervals between treatments. The total annual repairs per mile of road undertaken by selection of five counties in the years 1968 to 1972 is given. The damaging effect of public roads is proposed in equivalent terms to that of the well defined Belgian pave. Equivalent exposure times on the nel transportation simulator or bouncer are derived for pave, trunk and secondary roads. /TRRL/

Sensitivity of Various Serological (Lancefield) Groups of Streptococci to Penicillin.

The tests reported here show that penicillin in amounts varying between 0.0039 and 0.0625 Oxford units sterilized an inoculum containing 1,000 to 10,000 cells of all the strains tested belonging to serological groups A through N with the exception of group D strains which required 2.0 to 5.0 units to inhibit completely the growth of a similar sized inoculum. Group M strains were the most sensitive; group A, C, G, H, and L strains were next; and group B, E, F, K, and N strains were the least sensitive of those found susceptible to the action of penicillin in small amounts.

Clinical Features of Lynch Syndrome

Lynch syndrome (LS) is one of the most common genetic cancer syndromes and accounts for 1–4% of all colorectal cancer cases. It is estimated that more than 100,000 individuals in Japan carry LS variants. This autosomal dominant disease is mainly caused by germline variants of mismatch repair genes (MSH2, MLH1, MSH6, PMS2) or EPCAM. Individuals with LS tend to develop with various types of tumors at a young age, such as colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer, and gastric cancer. The risk of developing LS-associated tumors may vary greatly depending on the population, gender of the carrier, and mismatch repair gene mutated. In this chapter, we discuss the clinical features of LS.

State-Feedback Event-Triggered Control Using Data-Driven Methods

Recently, event-triggered control has been attracting attention because it can reduce the number of communications in networked control. In the standard event-triggered control, it is assumed that a plant model is known. However, the derivation of the model often requires a lot of effort in terms of time and cost. In this paper, we propose a method to reduce the burden of designers and the number of communications by applying data-driven methods into the state-feedback event-triggered control. We confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method by simulation.

Assessment of Cross-Reactivity in Three Different Fecal Occult Blood Test Systems with Dabigatran and Dabigatran Etexilate: Identification of Useful Test Methods

Abstract Abstract 4360 Anticoagulant therapy can elevate the risk of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding and may affect its management. Fecal occult blood tests (FOBT) are non-invasive, widely-used tests that may be useful in detecting early and thus treatable stages of GI lesions or bleeding in patients on these therapies. The literature suggests that use of anticoagulants does not diminish the positive predictive value of FOBT, however a potential limitation and concern of these tests is the possibility for drug interactions with test components which may lead to false results. Dabigatran is a new oral, reversible, direct thrombin inhibitor currently approved for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation. Dabigatran etexilate (DE) is the prodrug of the active ingredient dabigatran, and is converted by non-specific esterases in plasma and liver to dabigatran. Approximately 6.5% of DE in Pradaxa® is bioavailable and absorbed in the gut with the remaining eliminated in the feces. The purpose of this study was to investigate any potential cross-reactivity of dabigatran, DE or Pradaxa® with three commonly-used commercial FOBTs with different detection methods. Common methods of detection in FOBTs used worldwide include guaiac oxidation in hemoccult tests, immunochromatographic methods with a membrane strip precoated with hemoglobin antibody, or the benzamidine method where heme in hemoglobin induces a blue/green color change. Examples of each method were tested. The Hemoccult II® SENSA® (Beckman Coulter Inc.), EZ DETECT (Biomerica Inc.), and BioNexia® Hb/Hp Complex Professionell (FROST Diagnostika GmbH) FOBT were used for this study and all tests were conducted according to manufacturer's protocol. DE, dabigatran or the contents of a single Pradaxa® capsule were suspended in a 0.5% cellulose solution. Vehicle solution was used as negative control and human blood used as a positive control. Isolated human blood samples generated positive results as expected in all three FOBTs whereas the negative controls did not. Exposure to DE, dabigatran or Pradaxa® suspensions did not result in positive readouts with any detection method of the tested FOBTs. In conclusion, these studies demonstrate that the prodrug DE and its active drug form dabigatran, as well as any further excipients in the Pradaxa® formulation do not cross-react with a set of commonly-used fecal occult blood tests. This supports the usefulness of these 3 tests in dabigatran etexilate-treated patients.

Predicting Revitalization: a descriptive narrative and predictive analysis of neighborhood revitalization in Atlanta, Georgia

Over the past two decades, revitalization has been transforming many of Atlantaﾒs unique neighborhoods and attracting new residents, businesses, and investments to the cityﾒs urban core. This has resulted in positive and negative effects that are important to consider as redevelopment continues throughout Atlanta, especially in low?income or disadvantaged communities. In order to mitigate the consequences of redevelopment while highlighting opportunities for growth and innovation, it is important to investigate how and why some Atlanta neighborhoods undergo revitalization earlier or at a more rapid pace than others. This paper seeks to identify significant physical, sociodemographic, and policy?related factors that may catalyze or otherwise predict revitalization in certain communities, and then apply these indicators to Atlantaﾒs remaining neighborhoods to classify those with a greater potential to revitalize in the coming years. To achieve this, a time?lagged probit model was developed to measure hypothesized revitalization indicators within each of Atlantaﾒs Neighborhood Statistical Areas across multiple time periods. This model suggests that revitalization often occurs in Atlanta neighborhoods that overlap with designated historic districts, those that are within walking distance of transit stations and the Beltline, those that are adjacent to other revitalized neighborhoods, those with lower percentages of renter?occupied housing units, and those with greater proportions of jobs in creative, higher education, and professional and technical service industries. Using these results, the model identified other neighborhoods that contain a combination of factors which make them susceptible to revitalization.

Transcriptomic analyses reveal molecular mechanisms underlying regulation of floral attributes in Lonicera japonica Thunb.

Abstract Background Lonicera Japonica Thunb. is a perennial, semi-evergreen and twining vine in the family of Caprifoliaceae, which is widely cultivated in Asia. Thus far, L. japonica is often used to treat some human diseases including COVID-19, H1N1 influenza and hand-foot-and-mouth diseases, however, the regulatory mechanism of intrinsic physiological processes during different floral developmental stages of L. japonica remain largely unknown. Results The complete transcriptome of L. japonica was de novo-assembled and annotated, generating a total of 195850 unigenes, of which 84657 could be functionally annotated. 70 candidate genes involved in flowering transition were identified and the flowering regulatory network of five pathways was constructed in L. japonica . The mRNA transcripts of AGL24 and SOC1 exhibited a downward trend during flowering transition and followed by a gradual increase during the flower development. The transcripts of AP1 was only detected during the floral development, whereas the transcript level of FLC was high during the vegetative stages. The expression profiles of AGL24 , SOC1 , AP1 and FLC genes indicate that these key integrators might play the essential and evolutionarily conserved roles in control of flowering switch across the plant kingdom. We also identified 54 L. japonica genes encoding enzymes involved in terpenoid biosynthesis pathway. Most highly expressed genes centered on the MEP pathway, suggesting that this plastid pathway might represent the major pathway for terpenoid biosynthesis in L. japonica . In addition, 33 and 31 key genes encoding enzymes involved in the carotenogenesis and anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway were identified, respectively. PSY transcripts gradually increased during the flower development, supporting its role as the first rate-limiting enzyme in carotenoid skeleton production. The expression level of most anthocyanin biosynthetic genes was dramatically decreased during the flower developmental stages, consistent with the decline in the contents of anthocyanin. Conclusion These results identified a large number of potential key regulators controlling flowering time, flower color and floral scent formation in L. japonica , which improves our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the flower traits and flower metabolism, as well as sets the groundwork for quality improvement and molecular breeding of L. japonica .

Dynamic access control

We investigate the cost of changing access control policies dynamically as a response action in computer network defense. We compare and contrast the use of access lists and capability lists in this regard, and develop a quantitative feel for the performance overheads and storage requirements. We also explore the issues related to preserving safety properties and trust assumptions during this process. We suggest augmentations to policy specifications that can guarantee these properties in spite of dynamic changes to system state. Using the lessons learned from this exercise, we apply these techniques in the design of dynamic access controls for dynamic environments.

The Impact of the Exogenous Shocks of 1974 on Cypriot Trade

Almost two decades have elapsed since the traumatic events of 1974 in Cyprus. Sufficient time has now passed to examine the economic significance of the events in historical perspective. Were they of long-term significance for the Cypriot economy, or did they merely represent a short-term set back? What were the implications for the country's trade, and are there any lessons other small, open, and equally vulnerable economies can learn from the Cypriot experience?

Reinvesting Nieces: "Mansfield Park" and the Economics of Endogomy

Encouraged perhaps by Sir Thomas Bertram's belated discovery that his niece Fanny is that he wanted (431), most critical work on Mansfield Park has depended upon primacy of nuclear family and metaphorical power of nuclear family terminology to for Fanny Price's rise to power. Avrom Fleishman's influential book-length study of novel, for example, suggests that the structure of that part of plot which has to do with Sir Thomas Bertram's choice of new daughter resembles King Lear's attempt to choose one among (62). In similar manner, David Kaufmann insists that Austen intended to draw parallel between initial account of three sisters, Misses Ward, and concluding of next generation, centering on, again, three sisters (in fact, if not legally) (215). While Kaufmann repeatedly acknowledges that Sir Thomas is indeed Fanny's uncle, he still cannot resist slipping into idiom of fathers and daughters, and ultimately ends up likening Sir Thomas to feudal patriarch who attempts to exert power of father-figure over his vulnerable daughter Fanny (223-24). The vulnerable daughter is again central figure in Paula Marantz Cohen's The Daughter's Dilemma, and Fanny is among her examples of nineteenth-century heroines that function in the regulatory of psychosomatic daughters who, through their symptoms, help to establish equilibrium and closure for their families (25). Just as Fanny's shift from niece to has occasioned considerable amount of speculation about nuclear family relationships in Mansfield Park, her contingent move from cousin to sister to wife in relation to Edmund has generated large body of criticism about sibling incest. By using Lawrence Stone's history of family development' as backdrop for her daughter-centered reading of Mansfield Park, Cohen argues that novel's endogamous marriage plot reflects a new affective order for family in which marriage between cousins ... will perform much-needed structural role (63). While Cohen challenges Freud's nuclear family model, she does so only to posit Fanny as developing daughter who fractures father-son Oedipal dynamic. Glenda A. Hudson similarly concludes that because Fanny and Edmund have been raised as brother and sister under same roof ... [their] endogamous union preserves inviolability of Mansfield and excludes risks attendant on marriage outside family-to Crawfords, for example (35). A more roman-

From ‘third pole’ to north pole: a Himalayan origin for the arctic fox

The ‘third pole’ of the world is a fitting metaphor for the Himalayan–Tibetan Plateau, in allusion to its vast frozen terrain, rivalling the Arctic and Antarctic, at high altitude but low latitude. Living Tibetan and arctic mammals share adaptations to freezing temperatures such as long and thick winter fur in arctic muskox and Tibetan yak, and for carnivorans, a more predatory niche. Here, we report, to our knowledge, the first evolutionary link between an Early Pliocene (3.60–5.08 Myr ago) fox, Vulpes qiuzhudingi new species, from the Himalaya (Zanda Basin) and Kunlun Mountain (Kunlun Pass Basin) and the modern arctic fox Vulpes lagopus in the polar region. A highly hypercarnivorous dentition of the new fox bears a striking resemblance to that of V. lagopus and substantially predates the previous oldest records of the arctic fox by 3–4 Myr. The low latitude, high-altitude Tibetan Plateau is separated from the nearest modern arctic fox geographical range by at least 2000 km. The apparent connection between an ancestral high-elevation species and its modern polar descendant is consistent with our ‘Out-of-Tibet’ hypothesis postulating that high-altitude Tibet was a training ground for cold-environment adaptations well before the start of the Ice Age.
