"Cysteinyl-tRNACys Formation in Methanocaldococcus jannaschii: the Mechanism Is Still Unknown." Journal of Bacteriology 186, no. 1 (January 1, 2004): 8–14. http://dx.doi.org/10.1128/jb.186.1.8-14.2004.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Most organisms form Cys-tRNACys, an essential component for protein synthesis, through the action of cysteinyl-tRNA synthetase (CysRS). However, the genomes of Methanocaldococcus jannaschii, Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus, and Methanopyrus kandleri do not contain a recognizable cysS gene encoding CysRS. It was reported that M. jannaschii prolyl-tRNA synthetase (C. Stathopoulos, T. Li, R. Longman, U. C. Vothknecht, H. D. Becker, M. Ibba, and D. Söll, Science 287:479-482, 2000; R. S. Lipman, K. R. Sowers, and Y. M. Hou, Biochemistry 39:7792-7798, 2000) or the M. jannaschii MJ1477 protein (C. Fabrega, M. A. Farrow, B. Mukhopadhyay, V. de Crécy-Lagard, A. R. Ortiz, and P. Schimmel, Nature 411:110-114, 2001) provides the “missing” CysRS activity for in vivo Cys-tRNACys formation. These conclusions were supported by complementation of temperature-sensitive Escherichia coli cysS(Ts) strain UQ818 with archaeal proS genes (encoding prolyl-tRNA synthetase) or with the Deinococcus radiodurans DR0705 gene, the ortholog of the MJ1477 gene. Here we show that E. coli UQ818 harbors a mutation (V27E) in CysRS; the largest differences compared to the wild-type enzyme are a fourfold increase in the Km for cysteine and a ninefold reduction in the k cat for ATP. While transformants of E. coli UQ818 with archaeal and bacterial cysS genes grew at a nonpermissive temperature, growth was also supported by elevated intracellular cysteine levels, e.g., by transformation with an E. coli cysE allele (encoding serine acetyltransferase) or by the addition of cysteine to the culture medium. An E. coli cysS deletion strain permitted a stringent complementation test; growth could be supported only by archaeal or bacterial cysS genes and not by archaeal proS genes or the D. radiodurans DR0705 gene. Construction of a D. radiodurans DR0705 deletion strain showed this gene to be dispensable. However, attempts to delete D. radiodurans cysS failed, suggesting that this is an essential Deinococcus gene. These results imply that it is not established that proS or MJ1477 gene products catalyze Cys-tRNACys synthesis in M. jannaschii. Thus, the mechanism of Cys-tRNACys formation in M. jannaschii still remains to be discovered.

Abstract:

This Voicing is concerned with issues of voice perception, subjectivity and gender construction and explores the possibility of addressing them through the extended voice. It gives an account of the experience of ‘Voice X’, a singer who suffered from dysphoria, tracking the gendering process of their sounding voice through adolescence and its implications with personhood and social inclusion. I argue that the extended voice can problematize the gap between that which we say and what is said by the ‘grain’ of our voice. Focusing on the meaning potential of creak ‐ taken as an example of ‘another voice’ ‐ this practice research piece puts forward the argument that any extra-normal voicing has an implicit drag potential, made explicit each time a body to-be-looked-at and a voice to-be-listened-to do not seem to match. In conclusion, I introduce the idea of ‘minor creak’ as a queer space for vocal exploration.

Abstract:

Ever since the classification of Hong Kong’s Chaozhou Hungry Ghosts Festival as a national-grade intangible cultural heritage in 2011, a series of conservation activities have been initiated by some local Chaozhou communities, ngos, and the Hong Kong government. One of these activities is the Chaozhou Hungry Ghosts Cultural Festival, and this paper discusses the heritagization of religious festivals by examining the invention of this festival. The Cultural Festival reveals how the elite-cum-businessmen attempt to educate the general public, to promote the festival so as to reverse its decline in popularity, and to celebrate ethnic culture and Chinese culture. To overwrite the old-fashioned stereotypical creepy images associated with the traditional Hungry Ghosts Festival, new programs featuring spectacular and fun elements have been invented. This paper delineates how these newly invented programs highlight and promote moral and cultural meanings and capture the attention of the general public, especially the younger generation, thereby attracting wider participation in the festival. I will discuss how the spectatorial, participatory, and educational aspects of the Cultural Festival are meant to attract domestic visitors as well as international tourists. Nevertheless, the majority of worshippers and local organizers do not have a significant role in the Cultural Festival.

Full text

Abstract:

The Creepy Little Girl is a subset of the Gothic Child and as such, she works differently from the evil child or the monstrous child in contemporary Gothic. Unlike the contradictions inherent in representations of the evil child whose presence is disruption and destruction, or the monstrous child who is dangerous, the Creepy Little Girl serves as a function of the Gothic: she is that figure through which the narrative is unsettled and the Gothic intrudes. The Creepy Little Girl is defined by her hypergendered position in the narratives in which she appears: as both ‘little’ and very much as ‘girl’. The little girl's presence in contemporary gothic narratives destabilises the familiar, the domestic, and the cute and that is the basis for the gothic unease that she engenders.

Abstract:

We observed the effect of several variables on the sleep-vigilance trade-off in Green-winged Teals (Anas crecca crecca) during winter in the Camargue, southern France. We investigated the relationship between flock size and peeking rate, using field observations and controlling for the effects of other variables with which vigilance previously has been reported to be correlated: sex, date, time of day, distance from shore, and predator presence. Vigilance while sleeping decreased with increasing flock size for females but not for males. The peeking rate was reduced at the end of the winter, when Green-winged Teals were facing important energy requirements. Exposure to a predator resulted in maintenance of a high peeking rate. We discuss these results in relation to predator detection, mate competition, and wintering strategy.

Abstract:

Creaky voice is a voice quality that has been associated with various social categories such as gender, age, and socioeconomic status in previous literature. However, few studies have investigated creaky voice in relation to linguistic or ethnic heritage. Using a corpus of conversational speech from 131 Australian English-speaking teenagers who live in various areas across Sydney characterized by differences in linguistic and ethnic diversity, we explore how creaky voice use is influenced by gender and ethnic heritage. Creaky voice is automatically detected using the optimized Union method (White et al., 2022, JASA), which employs a combination of acoustic cues to identify the various phonetic realizations of creaky voice. Findings show that creaky voice use is highly variable across Sydney indicating that a complex relationship exists between creaky voice prevalence, speaker gender and ethnic heritage. This study shows that while variability may correlate with social groupings, other factors, such as a speaker’s orientation towards their community, may contribute to levels of creaky voice prevalence.

Full text

Abstract:

Time–activity budgets in the family Anatidae are available for the wintering and breeding periods. We present the first flyway-level study of foraging time in a long-distance migrant, the Eurasian Green-winged Teal, Anas crecca crecca L., 1758 (“Teal”). Behavioral data from early and late spring staging, breeding, and molting sites were collected with standardized protocols to explore differences between the sexes, seasons, and diel patterns. Teal foraging activity was compared with that of the Mallard, Anas platyrhynchos L., 1758 and Northern Shoveler, Anas clypeata L., 1758, and the potential effects of duck density and predator-caused disturbance were explored. In early spring, foraging time was moderate (50.5%) and mostly nocturnal (45%). It increased dramatically in all three species at migration stopovers and during molt, mostly because of increased diurnal foraging, while nocturnal foraging remained fairly constant along the flyway. These patterns adhere to the “income breeding” strategy expected for this species. No differences between the sexes were recorded in either species studied. Teal foraging time was positively correlated with density of Teal and all ducks present, but negatively correlated with predator disturbance. Our study suggests that Teal, in addition to being income breeders, may also be considered as income migrants; they find the energy necessary to migrate at staging sites along the flyway.

Abstract:

A 1-year national retail market survey was made to determine the sanitary quality of canned collard, creecy (land cress), kale, mustard, and turnip greens. The official methods of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists were used to count light filth such as aphids, thrips, mites, moth larvae, and beetle larvae. Analysis of 997 samples of canned greens weighing 100 g showed filth levels lowest for kale and highest for mustard greens. Maximum counts for defects in each canned green were 71 aphids, thrips, and mites and 7 moth and beetle larvae for canned collard greens; 309 aphids, thrips, and mites and 10 moth and beetle larvae for canned creecy greens; 31 aphids, thrips, and mites and 0 moth and beetle larvae for canned kale greens; 547 aphids, thrips, and mites and 12 moth and beetle larvae for canned mustard greens; and 530 aphids, thrips, and mites and 8 moth and beetle larvae for canned turnip greens. Percent of samples containing each defect ranged as follows: aphids, thrips and mites, 25.0% for canned kale greens to 77.9% for canned mustard greens; moth and beetle larvae, 0% for canned kale greens to 38.5% for canned creecy greens.

Abstract:

There is growing interest in research on the non-modal voice quality, creaky voice; however, its identification often relies on time-consuming manual annotation, leading to a recent focus on automatic creak detection methods. Various automatic methods have been proposed, which rely on varying types and combinations of acoustic cues for creak detection. In this paper, we compare the performance of three automatic tools, the AntiMode method, the Creak Detector algorithm, and the Roughness algorithm, against manual annotation of creak using data from 80 Australian English speakers. We explore the possibility that tools used in combination may yield more accurate creak detection than individual tools used alone. Based on method comparisons, we present options for researchers, including an “out-of-the-box” approach, which supports combining automatic tools, and propose additional steps to further improve creak detection. We found restricting analysis to sonorant segments significantly improves automatic creak detection, and tools performed consistently better on female speech than male speech. Findings support previous work showing detection may be optimised by performing a creak probability threshold sweep on a subset of data prior to applying the Creak Detector algorithm on new datasets. Results provide promising solutions for advancing efficient large-scale research on creaky voice.
