A framework for considering cross-cultural exchanges as a way to develop reasoning about environmental socio-scientific issues

\n\t\t\t\t\tThis study analyses the evolution of socioscientific reasoning on sustainability, of French and Australian tertiary students exchanging ideas on a digital platform, concerning local (Australian, French) environmental SSIs, and global environmental SSIs. We explore how the exchange of arguments from various disciplinary and cultural perspectives, can promote reasoning about complex problem-situations in the environment. We&amp;nbsp;develop a framework of reasoning, and show how it enables a productive analysis of the nature of the exchanges, and the quality of reasoning. We argue that such a strategy may improve epistemological training on the nature of science, and citizenship.\n\t\t\t\t

Chronic pelvic pain: clinical dilemma or clinician's nightmare

Chronic pelvic pain is a common problem presenting a major challenge to healthcare professionals. This is partly due to the lack of understanding of the aetiology and natural history of the disease. This condition is best managed using a multidisciplinary approach. In recent years, the emphasis in the clinical management has tended towards psychosocial or psychosexual involvement after organic disease has been excluded. Key Words: pelvic pain

[Vascular complication disclosing lung cancer in children].

Stroke are not as rare in pediatric patients as once suspected. Exhaustive diagnostic evaluation must be performed, to identify a cause, evaluate risk factors of recurrence and propose preventive treatment. We report a case in a teen-ager secondary to cerebral embolism. These embols have an exceptional origin: pulmonary venous thrombosis, secondary to undifferentiated sarcoma located in the lung and extended to pulmonary vein. Stroke by cerebral embolism are not always originated from heart disease, and may be misdiagnosed only transthoracic echocardiography is realised.

Microsecretory adenocarcinoma of the hard palate: A case report of a recently described entity

We report a case of microsecretory adenocarcinoma of the hard palate. The patient is a 37‐year‐old woman with a 15 mm submucosal tumor, which was incidentally found by her primary care dentist, in her hard palate. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging revealed a tumor exhibiting high signal on T2‐weighted image, which was gradually enhanced on dynamic study. Histologically, the tumor border was ill‐defined without fibrous capsule and adjoined minor salivary gland with permeative infiltration at the tumor periphery. The tumor comprised intercalated duct‐like cells with polygonal narrow eosinophilic to clear cytoplasm and small, uniform oval nuclei. These cells formed small infiltrative microcysts, tubules and fascicular cords collecting pale basophilic secretions and small vacuoles setting in an abundant fibromyxoid stroma. The tumor cells were positive for CK AE1+AE3, S‐100 protein, and p63, while are completely negative for p40, alpha‐SMA, and calponin. The MEF2C‐SS18 fusion was identified by reverse transcriptase‐polymerase chain reaction followed by Sanger sequencing. The combination of characteristic histology, immunophenotype, and presence of MEF2C‐SS18 fusion indicated the diagnosis of microsecretory adenocarcinoma of the hard palate, an entity described only recently. Post‐operative course was uneventful and there was no evidence of disease at 4 months after surgery.

A wavelet-based instrument for detection of crackles in pulmonary sounds

Crackles are discontinuous adventitious respiratory sounds, which are considered as signs of various pulmonary disorders, therefore their detection is important in the analysis of lung sounds. In this work, an instrument for separating crackles from stationary lung sounds and quantifying their characteristics is realized with DSP. The detection algorithm is based on increasing transient to background ratio by adaptive filtering and implementing nonlinear operators to wavelet based decomposed lung sounds.

Search for anomalous production of events with three or more leptons in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV

A search for physics beyond the standard model in events with at least three leptons is presented. The data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.5 inverse femtobarns of proton-proton collisions with center-of-mass energy sqrt(s) = 8 TeV, was collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC during 2012. The data are divided into exclusive categories based on the number of leptons and their flavor, the presence or absence of an opposite-sign, same-flavor lepton pair (OSSF), the invariant mass of the OSSF pair, the presence or absence of a tagged bottom-quark jet, the number of identified hadronically decaying tau leptons, and the magnitude of the missing transverse energy and of the scalar sum of jet transverse momenta. The numbers of observed events are found to be consistent with the expected numbers from standard model processes, and limits are placed on new-physics scenarios that yield multilepton final states. In particular, scenarios that predict Higgs boson production in the context of supersymmetric decay chains are examined. We also place a 95% confidence level upper limit of 1.3% on the branching fraction for the decay of a top quark to a charm quark and a Higgs boson (t to c H), which translates to a bound on the left- and right-handed top-charm flavor-violating Higgs Yukawa couplings, lambda[H, tc] and lambda[H, ct], respectively, of sqrt(abs(lambda[H, tc])^2 + abs(lambda[H, ct])^2) &lt; 0.21.

Dynamical equation and Monte Carlo simulation of the two-time Wigner function for electron quantum transport

A quantum approach to electron transport has been developed in recent years, where the Wigner function (WF) contains also the information of the phonon state; trace over the phonon variables is performed on the iterative solution used for the numerical simulation. In this paper an extension of this method is presented, where a two time WF is defined followed by a proper Fourier transform.

The ribosomal L5 protein is associated with mdm-2 and mdm-2-p53 complexes.

Throughout the purification of the mdm-2 or mdm-2-p53 protein complexes, a protein with a molecular weight of 34,000 was observed to copurify with these proteins. Several monoclonal antibodies directed against distinct epitopes in the mdm-2 or p53 protein coimmunoprecipitated this 34,000-molecular-weight protein, which did not react to p53 or mdm-2 polyclonal antisera in a Western immunoblot. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of this 34,000-molecular-weight protein demonstrated that the first 40 amino acids were identical to the ribosomal L5 protein, found in the large rRNA subunit and bound to 5S RNA. Partial peptide maps of the authentic L5 protein and the 34,000-molecular-weight protein were identical. mdm-2-L5 and mdm-2-L5-p53 complexes were shown to bind 5S RNA specifically, presumably through the known specificity of L5 protein for 5S RNA. In 5S RNA-L5-mdm-2-p53 ribonucleoprotein complexes, it was also possible to detect the 5.8S RNA which has been suggested to be covalently linked to a percentage of the p53 protein in a cell. These experiments have identified a unique ribonucleoprotein complex composed of 5S RNA, L5 protein, mdm-2 proteins, p53 protein, and possibly the 5.8S RNA. While the function of such a ribonucleoprotein complex is not yet clear, the identity of its component parts suggests a role for these proteins and RNA species in ribosomal biogenesis, ribosomal transport from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, or translational regulation in the cell.

The Need to Recognize the Pulmonary Circulation and the Right Ventricle as an Integrated Functional Unit: Facts and Hypotheses (2013 Grover Conference series)

For many patients with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension, heart failure—and, in particular, right heart failure—is the final chapter of their chronic illness. Targeted therapy for pulmonary hypertension is effective only if the right ventricular ejection fraction is maintained or improved. Because improvement of right heart function and reversal of right heart failure are treatment goals, it is important to investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms that cause right heart failure. Here, we propose that right ventricular capillary rarefaction is an important hallmark of right heart failure and consider that the “sick lung circulation” and the pressure‐overloaded right ventricle constitute a functional unit.

Restricted replication of mouse hepatitis virus A59 in primary mouse brain astrocytes correlates with reduced pathogenicity

Temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of mouse hepatitis virus A59 (MHV-A59) are drastically attenuated in their pathogenic properties. Intracerebral inoculation of mice with 10(5) PFU of mutant ts342 results in prolonged infection of the central nervous system, whereas 100 PFU of wild-type virus are lethal (M. J. M. Koolen, A. D. M. E. Osterhaus, G. van Steenis, M. C. Horzinek, and B. A. M. van der Zeijst, Virology 125:393-402, 1983). In the Sac(-) cell line ts342 grows as well at 37 degrees C (the body temperature of mice) as at 31 degrees C (the permissive temperature). There is, however, a difference in primary cultures of mouse brain astrocytes. After infection with ts342, astrocytes produced low levels of infectious virus (5.2 +/- 3.7%) compared with virus yields after infection with wild-type virus. The fraction of wild-type virus- and ts342-infected cells was similar. Electron microscopy showed in wild-type virus-infected cells abundant virions in smooth vesicles usually closely associated with a well-developed Golgi apparatus. In mutant-infected cells no mature ts342 virus particles were found. There was no difference between ts342 and wild-type virus regarding the intracellular virus-specific RNAs. In ts342-infected cells the viral glycoproteins E2 and E1 were not detectable or were barely detectable. Either the mRNAs for the glycoproteins are not translated or the proteins are rapidly broken down. Revertants of ts342 were isolated. They grew as well as wild-type virus in astrocytes, indicating that they apparently produced sufficient amounts of E2 and E1, the ts defect itself rather than a second site mutation is responsible for the defect in replication, and the ts defect acts in unison with host-cell factors. The revertants also regained the lethal properties of wild-type virus.

The politics of global warming: conservative, liberal and radical perspectives on climate change in 21st century British press

This dissertation will assess the representation of global warming through 21st Century British press, focusing on three main perspectives: conservative, liberal and radical. Although the media show a wide coverage on the topic of climate change, it is questionable as to how informative and influential they are towards the general public. The causes and effects of global warming which result in the ‘greenhouse effect’ were acknowledged by most industrialised countries, with the exception of China and America, and protocols were initiated. This will be examined, followed by an in depth discussion of the Conservative, Liberal and Radical ideologies. A critical discourse analysis will be conducted to further support this research, which will include the many factors linked to global warming, such as man- made and human activities. Overall, this study will highlight the conflicting messages expressed by conservative and liberal newspapers and will analyse radical authors' critiques of both newspapers.

Improving biological control of stalk borers in sugarcane by applying silicon as a soil amendment

Abstract The sugarcane stalk borers, Sesamia spp. (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) are the most destructive sugarcane insect pests in Iran. The efficiency of Telenomus busseolae Gahan (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) used alone or in combination with silicon fertilization was investigated for controlling the sugarcane stalk borers under field conditions. The treatments were: a combination of silicon plus multiple releases of 2,500 T. busseolae, and multiple releases of 5,000, 2,500 and 1,250 T. busseolae alone. Plots receiving no soil amendment or parasites were included as the controls. Three weeks after the first application of each treatment, 100 shoots were selected randomly from each plot and the percentage of dead heart was determined. Then, three months after the first application of parasites, the percentage of stalks damaged, the percentage of internodes bored, and the level of parasitism were determined. Finally, at harvest the percentage of stalks damaged, the percentage of internodes bored, and sugarcane quality characteristics were determined. Results indicated that the efficiency of parasitism increased when combined with an application of silicon fertilizer. The release of 2,500 T. busseolae followed by an application of silicon fertilizer decreased dead hearts to 4%, while 12% dead hearts was observed in the control plots. For the combination treatment, the percentages of stalk damage were 1.5% and 17.2%, at 3 weeks and 3 months after time release, respectively. However, the percentages of stalk damage were 35.2% and 51% when no treatment was applied. Cane quality was significantly higher with the application of silicon fertilizer plus the release of 2,500 T. busseolae, followed by releasing 5,000 Hymenoptera. The level of parasitism was also greater when parasites were released in combination with an application of silicon. We conclude that biological control by egg parasitoids can be enhanced with concurrent applications of silicon fertilizer as a soil amendment and thereby creating a more robust, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program of stalk borers in Iranian sugarcane fields.
