A rare cause of aeroallergen-induced anaphylaxis: horse allergy.

Animal epithelia and saliva contain a substantial amount of aeroallergen material, causing both acute onset of symptoms related to hypersensitivity, and chronic inflammation of the airways leading to allergic rhinitis or asthma. Although allergy to horses is generally considered to be more prevalent in rural areas, sensitization to horse allergens is more frequent than might be expected in urban residents without any direct or occupational exposure to horses. However, horse allergy is seldom mentioned among animal-induced allergic reactions. Anaphylaxis due to horse exposure is reported even more rarely. Here, a pediatric patient with a hypersensitivity reaction after horse allergen exposure is reported, and the definition of the type of reaction is discussed, as it may be the whole set of locally induced multisystemic reactions that resembles anaphylaxis.

Effect of live<i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i>(NCDC-49) supplementation on growth performance and rumen fermentation pattern in local goat

Twenty female kids of local goats (6.42±0.28 kg, 3-month-old) were divided into two equal groups. Kids in experimental group received Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCDC-49 (5.6×109 cells/head/day) whereas the control was unsupplemented. This study lasted for 120 days. Rumen liquor was collected for three consecutive days after two months and at the end of the experiment before offering feed. The body weight gain, height at withers and heart girth were higher with superior feed conversion in the treatment group. Colony forming units were higher with lower NH3 concentration in yeast culture fed kids. It is concluded that S. cerevisiae NCDC-49 supplementation improved growth and feed conversion efficiency and had some positive influence on the rumen fermentation parameters.

Reports of social unrest: basic characteristics, trends and patterns, 2003–12

A persistent question that preoccupies scholars who study authoritarian China is social stability and durability of the communist regime. The authoritarian government that is obsessed with social stability looks for any sign of unrest which may pose a threat to the regime. It invests in hundreds of millions of dollars every year in stability maintenance, Internet monitoring, and propaganda to root out would-be protestors. Despite that, gleaning from various media reports, we surmise that the number of social unrest cases — a major threat to the Communist Party’s rule — has been on the rise. While that may be true, the frequency, size, scope, grievances and impact on the regime of social unrest are still rather illusive. Publicly available official figures had indicated a total of 8,700 “mass incidents” in 1993, and it increased by ten-fold to 87,000 in 2005. However, the authorities have ceased issuing any official figures since then. A frequently cited estimate by Sun Liping, a researcher at Tsinghua University, suggests that there were 180,000 incidents in 2010.This chapter addresses these important issues by analyzing a dataset of social unrest in China constructed from more than 2,500 cases during 2003-2012. The dataset is constructed based on coding of unrest cases reported in the Chinese language and English media.

Predictability of Large Future Changes in Complex Systems

We present a systematic algorithm testing for the existence of collective self-organization in the behavior of agents in social systems, with a concrete empirical implementation on the Dow Jones Industrial Average index (DJIA) over the 20th century and on Hong Kong Hang Seng composite index (HSI) since 1969. The algorithm combines ideas from critical phenomena, the impact of agents' expectation, multi-scale analysis and the mathematical method of pattern recognition of sparse data. Trained on the three major crashes in DJIA of the century, our algorithm exhibits a remarkable ability for generalization and detects in advance 8 other significant drops or changes of regimes. An application to HSI gives promising results as well. The results are robust with respect to the variations of the recognition algorithm. We quantify the prediction procedure with error diagrams.

Specific marrow ablation before marrow transplantation using an aminophosphonic acid conjugate 166Ho-EDTMP

Abstract 166Holmium ethylenediaminetetramethylene phosphonic acid (166Ho-EDTMP) is a short-lived beta-emitting radionuclide complexed to an aminophosphonate ligand that we have investigated in a canine model as a potential agent for specific marrow ablation before marrow transplantation. After intravenous injections, 166Ho-EDTMP distributed principally to bone and after 24 hours the concentrations of 166Ho- EDTMP in bone were more than 200-fold higher than in any other organ. Increasing dosages of 166Ho-EDTMP led to increasingly prolonged and severe myelosuppression, but myeloablation was not achieved. Histologic examination of recovering animals suggested that the spleen may have acted as a reservoir for circulatory hematopoietic precursors. Four splenectomized animals administered 20 to 30 mCi/kg 166Ho-EDTMP without marrow transplantation died with marrow aplasia, while four splenectomized animals administered similar dosages of 166Ho-EDTMP followed by autologous transplantation recovered. The dose-limiting toxicity of 166Ho-EDTMP appeared to be marrow stromal damage resulting in myelofibrosis, which was reversible. These results suggest that 166Ho-EDTMP can be used to specifically ablate marrow function before marrow transplantation.

Racial Disparity in Outcomes Among Prostate Cancer Patients in the Post–Affordable Care Act Period

Improved access to care via Medicaid expansion may not translate into reduced racial disparity in quality-of-care outcomes in prostate cancer patients treated surgically. System-level factors such as availability of and referrals to care, and complex socioeconomic structure may also play a role in improving quality of care and reducing disparities.

The historical socioecology of savanna baboons ( <i>Papio hamadryas</i> )

Socioecology has traditionally assumed that differences in social form between species derive from selected responses to particular evolutionary environments, while differences within a species reflect plastic responses to contemporary differences in ecology.The issue of behavioural or social plasticity is particularly salient for primatologists as it ties into conceptualizations of the evolution of cognitive capacity.In this regard, savanna baboons Papio hamadryas have provided a focus for research by virtue of their ecological plasticity and a problem for researchers by virtue of marked social differences in one subspecies -hamadryas baboons P. h.hamadryas -that cannot be explained solely by reference to current ecology.It is argued that the problem extends beyond hamadryas and that at least some differences between other populations also reflect selected responses to restricted, local evolutionary conditions.Of particular importance to the understanding of contemporary differences in baboon sociality is the extent to which evolutionary environments have constrained group size and perturbed adult sex ratios and, thereby, structured responses to the ever-present threat of infanticide.The view that there is much to be gained from a phylogenetic approach to population differences in behaviour is endorsed.

Selecting Negotiation Strategies for Meeting Scheduling Using a Model Based Approach

Resolving conflicts using automatic negotiation for agent-based meeting scheduling is a challenge. In order to negotiate with all meeting participants strategically, a set of negotiation strategies and a strategy selection model are required. This research focuses on developing a strategy selection model for selecting an appropriate strategy from a set of different strategies to resolve or avoid meeting conflicts. The strategy selection model is based on analyzing historical data, current meeting scheduling, participants' profile and preference data using AI techniques.

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction study of SrGeO<sub>3</sub> high-pressure perovskite phase at 100 K

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction study of SrGeO3 perovskite (cubic; space group Pmɜ̄m) synthesized at 6 GPa and 1223 K was conducted at a low temperature of 100 K. The residual electron density revealed the presence of the bonding electron at the center of the Ge–O bond, in accordance with our previous conclusion that the Ge–O bond is strongly covalent. From comparison with our previous structure-refinement result at 296 K, the mean square displacement (MSD) of the O atom in the direction of the Ge–O bond is suggested to exhibit no significant temperature dependence, in contrast to that in the direction perpendicular to the bond. Thus, the strong covalency of the Ge–O bond can have a large influence on the temperature dependence of thermal vibration of the O atom.

Unstable variant of NADH methemoglobin reductase in puerto ricans with hereditary methemoglobinemia

The electrophoretic mobility of erythrocyte NADH methemoglobin reductase in five hereditary methemoglobinemia patients from three Puerto Rican kindreds was 118% of normal at pH 8.6. The methemoglobin ferrocyanide reductase activity of the enzyme in erythrocyte hemolysates was 3.2-6.4% of normal. Electrophoresis of hemolysates prepared from the blood of patients from two different families at six pH values between 4.6 and 9.3 did not differentiate between the variant enzymes. Examination of the deficient enzymes extracted from the erythrocytes of one patient from each kindred revealed altered affinity for NADH and dichloroindophenol dye and decreased thermal stability. The quantitative similarity of the abnormal findings, together with the Puerto Rican origin of the kindreds, suggested that the cyanotic patients possessed the same abnormal enzyme and were thus homozygous for the same rare mutant gene. Consanguinity of the kindreds could not be established. The rates of decline of the normal and variant NADH methemoglobin reductase enzymes in vivo were measured in erythrocyte fractions of increasing cell age. The rate of decline of the variant enzyme was increased 20-fold by comparison with the normal enzyme. The methemoglobin percentage in erythrocyte fractions of increasing cell age correlated inversely with the activity of the variant. The variant enzyme averaged 37% of normal mean activity in young cells and 1% in old cells. The normal enzyme, on the other hand, lost only one-sixth of its activity as the cells aged, and the methemoglobin content in old normal cells did not rise. These observations support the hypothesis that the deficient activity and the heterogeneous pattern of methemoglobin accumulation in vivo arise principally from the accelerated inactivation of variant NADH methemoglobin reductase during the life-span of the red blood cell.

Identification of Tissue Expression Characteristics of Pig ALKBH5 and Its Association with Pathogenic Microbial Infection

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) as a reversible RNA modification has become a new direction and hotspot of RNA epigenetics research in the field of pig genetic breeding. However, the relationship between the m6A demethylase ALKBH5 and porcine growth and development as well as pathogenic microbial infection still remains unknown. Here, the expression levels of ALKBH5 in tissues of Meishan pigs at different stages from birth to adulthood were detected by qPCR. Then, we analyzed the expression change of ALKBH5 protein in IPEC-J2 cells after pathogenic infection (PEDV, TGEV, PCV2 and E. coli F18). Results showed that ALKBH5 was expressed in different tissues of Meishan pigs. The expression levels were high in spleen, lung and intestinal tissues (duodenum, jejunum and ileum). Besides, similar expression patterns were observed in specific tissues at different developmental stages. In addition, the expressions of ALKBH5 in the intestinal tissues (duodenum, jejunum and ileum) were significantly lower in the adult stage than in the birth and juvenile stages (P < 0.05). ALKBH5 protein was significantly up-regulated in IPEC-J2 cells with PEDV or PCV2 infection, but not TGEV. After E. coli F18 infection, the expressions of ALKBH5 mRNA and protein were both significantly down-regulated. Our findings indicated that ALKBH5 expression is closely related to the intestinal resistance to pathogenic infection in piglets. Therefore, it is necessary to further verify the function and mechanism of ALKBH5 gene at the cellular and individual levels in the future, in order to identify it as an important candidate marker for pig disease resistance breeding.

Sugar content in nectar flowers of siratro (&lt;em&gt;Macroptilium atropurpureum&lt;/em&gt; Urb.)

Siratro (Macroptilium atropurpureum Urb.) é uma planta forrageira com alto valor nutricional e excelente palatabilidade, sua fenologia é pouco conhecida. Objetivando melhorar o conhecimento e compreensão dos polinizadores do siratro e sua biologia floral, o conteúdo de açúcares totais no néctar de suas flores e a identificação desses açúcares foram determinados por espectrofotometria e cromatografia, respectivamente. A concentração de açúcares totais variou de 1,36 a 3,23 mg/flor para o valor máximo e de 0,19 a 0,42 mg/flor para o valor mínimo. Os resultados mostraram que a concentração de açúcares totais é alta às 8h30min, quando as flores estão abertas e varia um pouco durante o tempo que as flores permanecem abertas. A variação pode estar relacionada ao número de insetos que visitam as flores, especialmente as abelhas que podem coletar pólen e néctar durante o período de antese (8h30min às 16h30min). Por meio de análise enzimática, foi verificado que o siratro possui somente a glicose na sua composição

Economywide effects of climate‐smart agriculture in Ethiopia

Abstract Climate‐smart agriculture (CSA) is an approach for transforming and reorienting agricultural systems to support food security under climate change. Few studies, however, quantify at the national scale CSA's economic effects or compare CSA to input‐intensive technologies, like fertilizer or irrigation. Such quantification may help with priority setting among competing agricultural investment options. Our study uses an integrated biophysical and economic modeling approach to quantify and contrast the economywide effects of CSA (integrated soil fertility management in our study) and input‐intensive technologies in Ethiopia's cereal systems. We simulate impacts for 20‐year sequences of variable weather, with and without climate change. Results indicate that adopting CSA on 25% of Ethiopia's maize and wheat land increases annual gross domestic product (GDP) by an average 0.18% (US$49.8 million) and reduces the national poverty rate by 0.15 percentage points (112,100 people). CSA is more effective than doubling fertilizer use on the same area, which increases GDP by US$33.0 million and assists 75,300 people out of poverty. CSA and fertilizer have some substitutability, but CSA and irrigation appear complementary. Although not a panacea for food security concerns, greater adoption of CSA in Ethiopia could deliver economic gains but would need substantial tailoring to farmer‐specific contexts.

A study on the User Experience and Aggressive Action in Violent Video Game

폭력적 비디오게임은 이용자의 능동적인 상호작용과 관여를 바탕으로 이용되기 때문에 기존의 폭력적인 영상물보다 개인의 폭력성과 공격성에 미치는 영향이 더 클 것이라고 생각되는 것이 보통이다. 이 연구는 폭력적 게임 이용에서 형성되는 적대감, 분노와 같은 감성과 각성, 유희성, 동일시와 같은 사용자 경험이 사용자의 공격적 행동성에 어떠한 영향력을 가지고 있는지 검증하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 폭력적 콘텐츠로 구성된 1인칭 FPS 슈팅게임을 이용하여 남녀 대학생 각 40명씩 총 80명을 대상으로 플레이테스트 실험연구를 진행하였다. 연구결과, 폭력적인 게임 이용에 따른 사용자의 각성수준과, 상태분노, 유희성, 동일시의 경험이 공격적 행동성에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 폭력적인 게임 이용에 따라 공격적 행동성으로 나타날 수 있는 요소 중 감성, 각성 외에 캐릭터와의 동일시의 정도 역시 중요한 영향 요인이라는 점이 확인되었다. 공격적 행동성에 영향을 미칠 것으로 추론했던 적대감 효과는 유의미하지 않았지만 게임의 유희성은 사용자들의 공격행동성에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. As violent video game is used based on active interaction and involvement of users, it is widely thought that it may have more effect on individual violence and aggressive action than existing violent videos. This study aimed to examine the effect of user experiences in the violent video game such as hostility, anger, arousal, enjoyment and identification on users' aggressive action. For this purpose, the first person FPS shooting game that consists of violent contents was employed to carry out playtest for 80 subjects with 40 male and 40 female university students. As a result, it was found that the user's arousal level, state anger, enjoyment and identification experience by the use of violent video game had an effect on aggressive action. Among factors that have aggressive action in the used of violent video game, besides emotion and arousal, the level of identification with a game character was found to be important effect factor. Hostility factor that was assumed to have effect on aggressive action was not significant, but enjoyment of game was proved to have effect on aggressive action of users.

Thermoelectric Properties of Sn2+-Substituted CuFeO2 Delafossite-Oxide

Abstract. This study aims to investigate the effect of the Sn2+-substituted into the CuFeO2 delafossite on thermoelectric properties in the Sn content of x = 0.03, 0.05. The CuFe1−xSnxO2 samples were synthesized by solid state reaction. The crystal structure was characterized by XRD, TGA, XPS and the thermoelectric properties were measured in the range of 300 to 960 K. The Seebeck coefficient display positive sign in all temperature range and the XPS show the stable Sn+2 state as confirming the Sn-doped CuFeO2 playing p-type conductor. The Sn 2+-substituted supports the mixed valency Fe3+/Fe4+ state in transition octahedral oxide of FeO6 layer enhancing Seebeck coefficient. The high Seebeck are appeared in content of x=0.03 which are 280 to 340 µV/K in the range of 300 to 800 K. The experimental Seebeck corresponds to the prediction formula at high temperature. Totally, the maximum Power Factor is 2.30×10−4 W/mK2 occurring in the CuFe0.95Sn0.05O2 at 860 K which is higher than that value of the undoped-CuFeO2 in 4 times. These support that the Sn-substituted CuFeO2 delafossite enhancing thermoelectric properties.
