Viscosinamide-producing Pseudomonas £uorescens DR54 exerts a biocontrol e¡ect on Pythium ultimum in sugar beet rhizosphere

Growth inhibition of the root pathogen Pythium ultimum by the biocontrol agent Pseudomonas fluorescens DR54 inoculated on sugar beet seeds was studied in a soil microcosm. Plant emergence was followed, together with bacterial rhizosphere colonization, antibiotic production and effects on fungal growth. P. fluorescens DR54 inoculation of the P. ultimum-challenged seeds improved plant emergence after 7 days compared to a control without the biocontrol strain. At this time, P. fluorescens DR54 was the dominating colony-forming pseudomonad in rhizosphere soil samples from inoculated seedlings as shown by immuno-staining with a strain specific antibody. Viscosinamide, a cyclic lipopeptide, which has previously been identified as a major antagonistic determinant produced by P. fluorescens DR54 and shown to induce physiological changes in P. ultimum in vitro, could be detected in the rhizosphere samples. The impact of P. fluorescens DR54 on the growth and activity of P. ultimum was studied by direct microscopy after staining with the vital fluorescent dyes Calcofluor white and fluorescein diacetate. P. fluorescens DR54 caused reduction in P. ultimum mycelial density, oospore formation and intracellular activity. Further, Pythium oospore formation was absent in the presence of P. fluorescens DR54. A striking effect on zoospore-forming indigenous fungi was also observed in microcosms with P. fluorescens DR54 and, thus, where viscosinamide could be detected; a large number of encysted zoospores were seen in such microcosms both with and without P. ultimum infections. In vitro studies confirmed

Rancière, religion and the political

In the past few decades, the 'return of the religious' has been a recurrent theme in popular and academic discourse. From debates regarding the permissibility of religious dress and symbols in the public sphere, to questions of the integration of Muslim immigrants, concerns about the rise of the Christian Right in American politics and the role of Islam in the uprisings of the Arab Spring, a great deal of attention has been accorded to the presence of religion and religious subjects in the public sphere. Such has been the importance attached to accounting for, categorizing and contending with this phenomenon that it has attracted the attention of many of the major figures in contemporary social and political thought. However, the ideas of Jacques Rancière, one of the foremost figures in contemporary political philosophy, are noticeably absent in these discussions. In this article, I take up the task of investigating how Rancière's political philosophy can be brought to bear on debates surrounding the relationship between citizenship, religion and the political. I argue that his reconceptualization of politics, democracy and political subjectivity makes apparent the limitations, and even futility of current debates between advocates of secular universalism and those of religious pluralism, and, through assisting in the critical analysis of the public presence of religion, provide an opening for the potential emergence of alternative forms of community and political subjectivity.

Odontogenic Keratocyst-A Case Report

Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a developmental, non-inflammatory chronic cyst that may be unilocular or multilocular. Histologic features of OKC are pathognomonic. A 41-year-old male patient presented for emergency evaluation of a buccal gingival swelling in the area of teeth 34 and 35. Incision and drainage were followed 3 weeks later by surgical curettage and guided tissue regeneration using allograft and resorbable membrane. Biopsy of the excised tissue revealed OKC. At 1-year follow-up, the patient was comfortable and complete resolution of the radiolucent pathology was evident. Periodic examination is required because of the high rate of recurrence of OKC.

Assessment of Density and Anatomical Features of Young and Old Bambusa vulgaris (Schrad. ex J.C. Wendl.) Culm Heights as Sustainable Structural Material in Ghana

This study sought to assess the density and anatomical features of young and old Bambusa vulgaris Schrad. ex JC Wendl. culm heights and, therefore, evaluate their influence on the utilization potential of the culm as a sustainable structural material. Bambusa vulgaris culm of 2-year and 4-year-old were harvested and prepared to the required length of 6 meters for the study. Basic density and anatomical features were carried out. The results showed that the basic density of old bamboo ranges from 652.91 kg/m³ to 729.06 kg/m³, while the young bamboo ranges from 342.33 kg/m³ to 509.52 kg/m³. The vascular bundle arrangement was found to be in Type III and Type IV for the culm heights of both young and old bamboo. The average vascular bundle radial diameter ranged from 761.13 μm to 890.78 μm for the old culm and 727.16 μm to 844.83 μm for the young culm. The average vascular bundle tangential diameter ranged from 499.44 μm to 533.49 μm for the old culm and 425.56 μm to 483.56 μm for the young culm. The radial diameter of the metaxylem vessel of the old culm ranged from 216.81 μm to 54.74 μm, while 214.23 μm to 73.86 μm were for the young culm. Parenchyma tissues ranged from 35%– to 70% for the old bamboo culm and 45% to 75% for the young bamboo culm. Vessel proportion ranged from 6%–12% for the old culm while the young culm ranged from 5%–11%. Fiber proportion ranged from 22% to 54% for the old culm and 19% to 44% for the young culm. Old bamboo had better vascular bundle properties than that of young bamboo. The density is significantly correlated positively to the anatomical properties. Old bamboo is more suitable to be used as the engineered composite material due to its better anatomical features across the culm wall thickness.

Development of teacher beliefs through online instruction: A one-year study of middle school science and mathematics teachers’ beliefs about teaching and learning

Understanding teachers’ beliefs is important because beliefs influence teacher decisions. In science, teacher beliefs impacts how science curriculum is interpreted and implemented in the classroom. With the push for STEM education in the United States, it is also critical to examine teacher beliefs of those that integrate science in the classroom. This study of N=21 middle school science and mathematics teachers’ beliefs in the United States found one year of a graduate online program that emphasized inquiry-based instruction and student-centered frames-of-mind influenced participants’ beliefs. Overall, all participants veered toward more student-centered beliefs. When types of beliefs were disaggregated, participants’ beliefs about teaching and beliefs about learning both veered towards more student-centered position. It was also found that teachers’ beliefs significantly changed regardless of years of experience. One surprising find was science teachers’ beliefs changed significantly while mathematics teachers’ beliefs did not. Findings from this study support the notion that formal knowledge impacts teacher beliefs.

Intradural extramedullary cavernous hemangioma of the cervicothoracic junction: A case report and review of the literature

Background: Intradural extramedullary cavernous hemangiomas of the spine are rare, benign lesions with only 40 published cases to date. Case Description: The authors report a rare case of a histologically diagnosed intradural extramedullary cavernous hemangioma of the spine involving the cervicothoracic junction and causing sudden gait disturbances and urinary retention in a 24-year-old male. Gross total tumor removal allowed complete spinal decompression and sensible improvement of the clinical condition with no evidence of tumor relapse at 12-month follow-up examination. Conclusion: More frequently found in the lower thoracic and lumbar spine, these tumors often cause subtle clinical manifestations including sensory and motor dysfunction secondary to nerve root compression; nonetheless, occasional cases of rapidly progressive worsening of the neurological condition with evidence of myelopathy and autonomic dysfunction have been described. In such cases, urgent surgical resection is crucial since the degree of neurological impairment and the time spanned from the onset of the symptoms are paramount for a good recovery.

FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO THE GROWTH OF SMALL MANUFACTURING FIRMS: PERCEPTIONS OF JAPANESE OWNER/MANAGERS

This paper is based on a study of a sample of small manufacturing firms operating in the Kobe region of Japan. On the basis of the perceptions of owner/managers, the study attempts to identify a set of variables that may contribute to the growth of small firms. The results of the study indicate that good customer relations, high quality of products and skilful workers have been identified by respondents as the most important contributors to the growth of these firms. The other highly contributing factors in their order of ranking are efficiency of manager(s), owner’s knowledge and experience, good labour relations, competitive prices of products, systematic planning for the future, and owner’s active participation in management. However, some of the results of this study are attributable, at least partly, to the different nature of Japanese industrial structure and their unique management philosophy. This shows that the degree of effectiveness of the factors contributing to the growth of small manufacturing firms may vary from country to country.

Approach for mapping data to client projects

In today's technological era, the volume of data being processed on a daily basis is growing exponentially. The influence of data is affecting consulting firms and the expectations client companies have of consultants. Consulting firms are expected to not only use their client's data but also to leverage open source data and data from other firms that can help address the clients' needs. Manually reviewing the relevance of a dataset to a given problem is time intensive and prone to error. Additionally, it is near impossible to detect non-intuitive correlations in the data through manual review. Hence, this project focuses on building an application that enables users to automatically find and assess the applicability of datasets to a given problem. Given that the project objectives are to increase the applicability of individual datasets, to increase the applicability of clusters of correlated datasets, and to increase the usability of individual datasets, three metrics were derived respectively. They are relevance, coverage, and quality of data. The application, known as UVa Open Miner, measures the relevance of the dataset to the client problem, the degree to which a group of datasets covers different dimensions of a client problem, and the quality of the dataset. The application can be refactored into a reusable solution that consulting firms can use for their client work.

Cardiorespiratory response to exercise in men repeatedly exposed to extreme altitude

The ventilatory and heart rate responses to exercise were studied in four experienced high-altitude climbers at sea level and during a 6-wk period above 4,500 m to discover whether their responses to hypoxia were similar to those of high-altitude natives. Comparison was made with results from four scientists who lacked their frequent exposure to extreme altitude. The climbers had greater Vo2max at sea level and altitude but similar ventilatory responses to increasing exercise. On acute hypoxia at sea level their ventilatory response was less than that of scientists. Their heart rate response did not differ from that of scientists at sea level, but with acclimatization the reduction in response was significantly greater. Alveolar gas concentrations were similar after acclimatization, but climbers achieved these changes more rapidly. The increase in hematocrit was similar in the two groups. It is concluded that these climbers, unlike high-altitude residents, have cardiorespiratory responses to exercise similar to those of other lowlanders except that their ventilatory response was lower and the reduction in their heart rate response was greater.

Compatibility conditions from multipartite entanglement measures

We consider an arbitrary d_{1}\otimes d_{2}\otimes ... \otimes d_{N} composite quantum system and find necessary conditions for general m-party subsystem states to be the reduced states of a common N-party state. These conditions will lead to various monogamy inequalities for bipartite quantum entanglement and partial disorder in multipartite states. Our results are tightly connected with the measures of multipartite entanglement.

Recruiting Internally Displaced Persons into Civil Militias: The Case of Northern Uganda

This article explores the state-sanctioned recruitment of internally displaced persons (IDPs) into civil militias in northern Uganda between 1996 and 2006. Drawing upon international and Ugandan domestic law, as well as empirical research in Uganda, it provides an illustrative case study of the circumstances in which IDPs were mobilised into an array of civil militias. By applying a framework elaborated by the UN Commission on Human Rights, it discusses, and subsequently determines, the lawfulness of this mobilisation. When doing so, the article highlights how, in Uganda, civil militias were dealt with completely outside of domestic law, despite repeated calls from Ugandan MPs to establish their lawfulness. It finds that government authorities long denied any liability for the conduct of the militias, and argues that the uncertain position of the civil militias created plenty of room for unmonitored conduct and substantial human rights abuse.

The mouse brain after foot shock in four dimensions: Temporal dynamics at a single-cell resolution

Significance Acute stress involves the majority of brain areas, which can be sequentially organized in functional brain networks as shown by our study with foot shock in mice. We used whole-brain microscopy to investigate different spatial resolutions over time. From mesoscale region–based analyses, we identified the order of activation of brain areas. With single-cell analyses, we analyzed shifts in activation over time within small nuclei—a result impossible to achieve with functional MRI’s resolution. These findings required the development of a four-dimensional (4D) analytical pipeline, which is made available as an R package. This “atlas” of foot shock can be visualized in 4D in our interactive web portal.

Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma – Management and Outcome in the ‘haematology era’

Abstract Introduction Primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL) requires a biopsy for diagnosis but can be inconclusive when steroids are administered. Without treatment median survival is 1.5–3.3 months, improving to 10–20 months with oncological treatment. This study aimed to compare outcomes of PCNSL treated under haematology to those of clinical oncologists. Methods Retrospective casenote review of patients with PCNSL treated under oncologists (2006–2010) and haematologists (2011–2016). Results 121 cases were identified (median age 63 years; range 19–84). Median WHO performance status (PS) was 1. 11.6% required repeat biopsy. 10 patients were managed palliatively due to poor PS. 67 cases were managed under haematology. Median symptom duration was 28 days (range 2–540). Median time from MRI to diagnosis was 18 days (range 6–232). 66 patients received chemotherapy, 1 received radiotherapy. Median overall survival (OS) was 8 months (95%CI: 0.7–15.3), 5-year OS was 22.4%. 44 cases were managed under oncology. Median symptom duration was 28 days (range 2–365). Median time from MRI to diagnosis was 16 days (range 6–309). 34 patients received radiotherapy first-line, 10 received chemotherapy. Median OS was 7 months (95%CI: 0–21.5), 5-year OS was 15.9%. Multivariate analysis demonstrated PS (HR 2.02 (95%CI: 1.08–3.76)) and symptom duration (HR 0.63 (95%CI: 0.41–0.96)) to be significant prognostic indicators for OS. Discussion PCNSL carries poor prognosis and outcomes from the ‘haematology era’ are similar to those achieved by clinical oncologists. Delay in diagnosis leads to worse outcomes and highlights the ongoing need to streamline current clinical services to improve outcomes.

INTELSAT IV Satellite System (Voice) Channel Capacity Versus Earth-Station Performance

A comprehensive technical study has been performed to assess the optimum voice-channel capacity of a transponder as a function of the earth-station performance (ratio of receive antenna gain to system noise temperature) for various modulation techniques such as: a) single-carrier per transponder frequencydivision multiplexing frequency modulating (FDM/FM); b) multicarrier per transponder FDM/FM; c) pulse-code modulating, coherent phase-shift keying, time-division multiple access (PCMCPSK-TDMA); and d) SPADE (single-channel per carrier PCMCPSK-FDMA), which will be used in the INTELSAT IV satellite system. This study assumes a homogeneous system, i.e., the transmit and receive earth stations use an appropriately identical antenna performance.
