Abstract:

Steels for sharp edges or tools typically have martensitic microstructures, high carbide contents, and various coatings to exhibit high hardness and wear resistance. Yet they become practically unusable upon cutting much softer materials such as human hair, cheese, or potatoes. Despite this being an everyday observation, the underlying physical micromechanisms are poorly understood because of the structural complexity of the interacting materials and the complex boundary conditions of their co-deformation. To unravel this complexity, we carried out interrupted tests and in situ electron microscopy cutting experiments with two micromechanical testing setups. We investigated the findings analytically and numerically, revealing that the spatial variation of lath martensite structure plays the key role leading to a mixed-mode II-III cracking phenomenon before appreciable wear.

Abstract:

Trichotemnomania (TT) refers to cutting or shaving of one’s own hair as a compulsive act. This condition is reported rarely and may be indicative of an underlying obsessive-compulsive disorder. TT may be misdiagnosed with trichotillomania or other disorders such as alopecia areata, tinea capitis, and postinflammatory scars. The diagnosis of trichotemnomania is confirmed by dermoscopic assessment, histopathological changes of hair, and correlation of these findings with clinical history. A fourteen-year-old adolescent girl presented with focal hair loss over forehead for duration of two-weeks and periodic abnormal breathing and poor sleep for 2-month duration. Besides, she had also lost some of pubic hair and hair on the forearm over preceding 24 hours. This patient was assessed by a team including a paediatrician, gynecologist, dermatologist, and psychiatrist to gather focused medical history and to perform physical examination, laboratory investigations, and dermoscopic assessment. It was revealed that she used to shave or cut regularly following stressful situations across various aspects of her life and hyperventilate as a means of relieving her stress. Eventually, she was diagnosed to have trichotemnomania and was started oral sertraline 50 mg/day for one month. Clinical features and her behaviour improved with regular cognitive behavioural therapy, and hairs were demonstrated to grow up normally with change in behaviour. Currently, she does well at school and is off medications and being followed up at the child guidance clinic. Trichotemnomania is a very rare disorder which is characterised by cutting or shaving of one’s own hairs as a compulsive habit. The condition needs careful and detailed assessment by a team of specialists to identify coexisting psychiatric disorders and offer treatment.

Abstract:

User interaction with animated hair is desirable for various applications but difficult because it requires real-time animation and rendering of hair. Hair modeling, in cluding styling, simulation, and rendering, is computationally challenging due to the enormous number of deformable hair strands on a human head, elevating the computational complexity of many essential steps, such as collision detection and self-shadowing for hair. Using simulation localization techniques, multi-resolution representations, and graphics hardware rendering acceleration, we have developed a physically-based virtual hair salon system that simulates and renders hair at accelerated rates, enabling users to interactively style virtual hair. With a 3D haptic interface, users can directly manipulate and position hair strands, as well as employ real-world styling applications (cutting, blow-drying, etc.) to create hairstyles more intuitively than previous techniques.

Abstract:

Examination of hair medulla by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is difficult because of the keratinous composition of hair and because of sectioning problems that result from insufficient infiltration and nonmiscibility of hair with embedding resins, even those of low viscosity. Although longitudinally cutting or tearing fibers will expose the medulla for embedment or direct viewing, considerable disruption occurs in its structure. Less disruption results from the use of freeze fracture techniques for either transmission or scanning electron microscopy (SEM).Freshly plucked human scalp and beard hairs were submersed in liquid nitrogen for a minimum of three minutes, held at proximal and distal ends with Dumont #10 tweezers, and slowly bent to an arc until the specimens broke at the apex. Customarily, clean bevelled fractures occurred along the tips of the arcs and exposed not only the medulla but also the cortex and cuticle. The fractured specimens were then removed from liquid nitrogen.

Abstract:

In the period between 1965 and 1967, a series of acts of violence took place against Italian capelloni (young men with long hair). These attacks frequently ended with an attempted or actual cutting of these young men's hair. This article analyses how these incidents were represented in newspapers, teen magazines, and in the short film Il mostro della domenica by Steno (Stefano Vanzina, 1968) featuring Totò. Drawing on literature about the shaving of French and Italian collaborationist women in the aftermath of the Second World War (Virgili 2002), it explores the potential gender anxieties caused by young men's long hairstyles, as represented by the media. The attacks on the capelloni are interpreted as a punishment for the male appropriation of a traditionally feminine attribute of seduction: the cutting of young men's hair symbolically reaffirmed an ideal of virile masculinity in a moment of ‘decline of virilism’ (Bellassai 2011) in Italian society.

Abstract:

There were two ways of the clerical tonsure in the Orthodox Church during the middle Ages. The cutting of four locks of hair in the shape of cross and circular tonsure. The wreath of hair around the shaved top of the head symbolized Christ?s crown of thorns. The archpriests of the Serbian Orthodox Church were practicing circular tonsure, from its founder Sava until the middle of the 17th century.

Abstract:

We report for the first time the successful maintenance and growth of human hair follicles in vitro. Human anagen hair follicles were isolated by microdissection from human scalp skin. Isolation of the hair follicles was achieved by cutting the follicle at the dermo-subcutaneous fat interface using a scalpel blade. Intact hair follicles were then removed from the fat using watchmakers' forceps. Isolated hair follicles maintained free-floating in supplemented Williams E medium in individual wells of 24-well multiwell plates showed a significant increase in length over 4 days. The increase in length was seen to be attributed to the production of a keratinised hair shaft, and was not associated with the loss of hair follicle morphology. [methyl-3H]thymidine autoradiography confirmed that in vitro the in vivo pattern of DNA synthesis was maintained; furthermore, [35S]methionine labelling of keratins showed that their patterns of synthesis did not change with maintenance. The importance of this model to hair follicle biology is further demonstrated by the observations that TGF-beta 1 has a negative growth-regulatory effect on hair follicles in vitro and that EGF mimics the in vivo depilatory effects that have been reported in sheep and mice.

Abstract:

High school cosmetology students study the methods and effects of various human hair treatments, including permanents, straightening, conditioning, coloring and cutting. Although they are provided with textbook examples of overtreatment and numerous hair disorders and diseases, a view of an individual hair at the high resolution offered by an SEM provides convincing evidence of the hair‘s altered structure. Magnifications up to 2000X provide dramatic differences in perspective. A good quality classroom optical microscope can be very informative at lower resolutions.Students in a cosmetology class are initially split into two groups. One group is taught basic controls on the SEM (focus, magnification, brightness, contrast, specimen X, Y, and Z axis movements). A healthy, untreated piece of hair is initially examined on the SEM The second group cements a piece of their own hair on a stub. The samples are dryed quickly using heat or vacuum while the groups trade places and activities.

Abstract:

Serrated chips were a universal phenomenon and it had a significant effect on cutting process. In this paper, single tooth dry cutting of TC11 titanium alloy were conducted on a five-axis CNC machine using Stellram milling cutter with a diameter of 32 mm. Both chip macroscopic morphology and microcosmic morphology of TC11 titanium alloy were studied in-depth examining the impact of cutting speed and feed rate to the serrated chips. The results showed that: with the increase of cutting speed, the chip morphology of titanium alloy TC4 experienced a change process from the hair bar to a “C” shape and then become a long strip. The critical cutting speed of TC11 for serrated chips was found at 80 m/min and the critical feed rate to form serrated chip was defined as 0.05mm/z. With the increasing of cutting speed, the extent of chip serration was significantly enhanced. Increasing cutting speed can decrease the feed rate to form serrated chips.

Abstract:

Ablative photodecomposition with an ultraviolet laser was used for making clean holes in organic polymers. The purpose of this study was to determine whether similar procedures could be used to cut hair. Cross-sections of hair makes it possible to characterize shape and size of human and animal hair. The use of a laser provides a means to control the angle of cut and a means to cut hair without applying pressure to the hair shaft, preventing shape distortion. Then accurate cross sectional measurements can be obtained for area and perimeter determinations.The laser was filled with argon and fluorine with helium as a buffer gas. The emitted pulses had a wavelength of 193 nm. The beam was narrowed by passage through a convex lens made of fused quartz. The intensity was 200 millijoules/sq.cm. and cutting was done in air. The greater the fluence the greater the depth of removal per pulse.

Abstract:

Azalea lace bug, Stephanitis pyrioides (Scott), is a major pest on azalea. Adults and nymphs feed and oviposit on the underside of the leaves, causing a stippled appearance when viewed from above. Previous field and laboratory screenings of 17 taxa of deciduous azalea, including representatives of 11 species, have identified a range of resistance to lace bug. One of the most resistant plants observed was of the species R. canescens. The interveinal region on the underside of the leaves of this plant is highly pubescent. This plant was crossed to a susceptible plant of R. viscosum (formerly R. serrulatum), which was glabrous on the lower leaf surface. The resulting seeds were planted in 1996, and the seedlings were transplanted to the field in 1998. In Sept. 1999, a laboratory bioassay was conducted to determine the resistance levels of these progeny. Five cuttings, each with two leaves, were collected from each plant, including the parental genotypes. Two female lace bugs were transferred onto the leaves of each cutting and the leaves were enclosed in a plastic cup with mesh for ventilation. After 5 days, the number of live bugs and number of eggs per cutting were counted. The percent damage from feeding was estimated. To determine whether pubescence was correlated with lace bug resistance, two terminal leaves were collected from each plant, and interveinal leaf hair density was calculated. Results from the laboratory bioassays revealed a high degree of susceptiblity to lace bug among these seedlings. Most of the progeny were pubescent, indicating no relationship between leaf hair density and resistance.

Abstract:

Traditions in Hindu basically used as a part of religion ritual as the real form of Acara. Every village in Bali has their own tradition. One of them is Meli Bok tradition as a series of nelubulanin ritual in Piling village, Penebel subdistric, Tabanan regency. It is a for om symbolic communication which is done by Piling villagers. This meaningful tradition is a symbol of gratitude, joy, and pure bhakti by Piling villagers. In the implementation of the tradition or religious ritual, there are interpersonal, intrapersonal, and group communication. There is meaning in every religious ritual, as well as the Meli Bok tradition which has social solidarity meaning, holy meaning, gratitude meaning, and religious meaning. Cutting hair ritual has function to balance or improve self quality of the baby. It is because atman will be affected by the material world as it obsess into human body. This cutting hair ritual is done to build the harmony between atman and the body. The first hair will be bought and put into a ketupat sirikan. And the money will be purified by using banten sesayut perbersihan and placed on a pelangkiran.The implementation of Meli Bok tradition is a form of love and showing honor for the baby or forefathers who are believed to be reincarnated on the baby. Piling villagers show their honor by buying the hair of the baby, because hair is the most sacred part of human body. The money used to buy the hair is a symbol to fulfill Artha which is called as catur purusa artha in Hindu’s believes. Through Meli Bok tradition implementation, it also improve the villagers’ feeling of togetherness and kinship.

Abstract:

Head lice, dandruff and other scalp diseases are still one of the main problems of the students at the Nurul Qarnain boarding school. Factors that influence the development of disease are poor personal hygiene due to the students' lack of understanding of this disease. Anti-dandruff shampoo, is expensive and is insufficient to treat head lice problem among students. Furthermore, the absence of professional barbers in the boarding school environment is also one of the factors that triggered this problem. The results of this activity are increased knowledge of students about hair health from 58.8% to 98.24% and the ability and skills of students to make anti-dandruff shampoo and hair cutting. This is expected to increase awareness and ability to care for hair and provide added value to the economy.

The ostensibly bizarre crime of braid-cutting invited occasional alienist inferences from the late 1850s onwards, until it entered mid-1880s police profiles and forensic-psychiatric taxonomies as a corollary of perversion, specifically sadism and fetishism. Cases were rare, but were reported as late as the mid-1930s and enduringly cited as encompassing a staple variety of fetishism. This note briefly reconstructs entries in German, French and English forensic psychiatry, sexual psychopathology and psychoanalysis.

Full text

Abstract:

This research examines financial ratios that distinguish between bankrupt and non-bankrupt companies and make use of those distinguishing ratios to build a one-year prior to bankruptcy prediction model. This research also calculates how many times the type I error is more costly compared to the type II error. The costs of type I and type II errors (cost of misclassification errors) in conjunction to the calculation of prior probabilities of bankruptcy and non-bankruptcy are used in the calculation of the ZETAc optimal cut-off score. The bankruptcy prediction result using ZETAc optimal cut-off score is compared to the bankruptcy prediction result using a cut-off score which does not consider neither cost of classification errors nor prior probabilities as stated by Hair et al. (1998), and for later purposes will be referred to Hair et al. optimum cutting score. Comparison between the prediction results of both cut-off scores is purported to determine the better cut-off score between the two, so that the prediction result is more conservative and minimizes expected costs, which may occur from classification errors. This is the first research in Indonesia that incorporates type I and II errors and prior probabilities of bankruptcy and non-bankruptcy in the computation of the cut-off score used in performing bankruptcy prediction. Earlier researches gave the same weight between type I and II errors and prior probabilities of bankruptcy and non-bankruptcy, while this research gives a greater weigh on type I error than that on type II error and prior probability of non-bankruptcy than that on prior probability of bankruptcy.This research has successfully attained the following results: (1) type I error is in fact 59,83 times more costly compared to type II error, (2) 22 ratios distinguish between bankrupt and non-bankrupt groups, (3) 2 financial ratios proved to be effective in predicting bankruptcy, (4) prediction using ZETAc optimal cut-off score predicts more companies filing for bankruptcy within one year compared to prediction using Hair et al. optimum cutting score, (5) Although prediction using Hair et al. optimum cutting score is more accurate, prediction using ZETAc optimal cut-off score proved to be able to minimize cost incurred from classification errors.

Full text

Abstract:

In the phantasmagoric performance that begins the second act of Lorraine Hansberry’s classic A Raisin in the Sun (1959), Beneatha Younger emerges with a short “close-cropped” natural style after cutting off her straightened hair offstage. Although this is a seemingly minor theatrical moment, hair in this scene and Hansberry’s work and life serves as a powerful dramatic signifier, a political tool for self-understanding and liberation, and a cultural bridge between African and African diasporic identity. Drawing from archival material concerning the original 1957 playscript, Tracy Heather Strain’s 2017 documentary Sighted Eyes/Feeling Hands, and recent scholarship, this article examines how Beneatha asserts her own body politics and corporeal scripting in her interactions with two romantic prospects, Joseph Asagai and George Murchison, to argue that her relationship with each suitor represents the complicated ways she wrestles with the meaning of the African diaspora. By embracing her natural hair and making deliberate aesthetic self-fashioning choices, Beneatha reclaims an ancestral African identity and cultivates a global Black consciousness that ultimately exceeds specific performances of dress, dance, and hair.

Full text

Abstract:

Though widely reported, Hair-thread Tourniquet Syndrome (HTTS) is poorly recognized. It refers to external, mechanical, circumferential constriction of an appendage, typically with an end-artery such as a digit, resulting in a “compartment syndrome-like” situation. HTTS is illustrated using the case of an infant. Children presenting with irritability should have their digits examined for signs of strangulation, with the awareness that numerous strands may be involved, with some buried in the skin. Early surgical-release must be performed if unwinding or simple cutting is unsuccessful.

Abstract:

Samson is well known for his long hair and exceptional strength. Most commentators, however, have overlooked the fact that it is Samson himself who constructs a connection between his hair and his strength. He had considered his hairstyle a sign of his hypermasculine identity instead of a demarcation of his Naziriteship. Reading the Samson narrative from a queer perspective, this article shows how Samson’s “heterosexuality” is produced, appears, and dissolves back into queerness. Samson’s hypermasculinity is a covering for his queer identity and results in his construction of several interrelated dualisms (Israel/Philistines, male/female, strong/weak, etc.) and in his excessive use of violence (physical, sexual, rhetorical, symbolic) against both women and men. When he meets a woman (Delilah) who doesn’t fit in his phallogocentric ideology, he reveals his secret through a non-genital erotic play (BDSM) with her and loses his strength when she symbolically castrates him by cutting his hair.

Abstract:

Effect of conventional and whole-tree clear-cutting on concentrations of some micronutrients in coniferous forest soil and plants Increasingly intensive and mechanized clear-cutting may deplete the forest ecosystem of essential nutrients. A clear-cut area near Växjö, southern Sweden, was investigated for changes in Mn, Cu and Zn in soil (NH4NO3 extractable and HNO3 soluble) and wavy hair grass (Deschampsia flexuosa) after conventional (CC) and whole-tree clear-cutting (WTC). The soil samples were mostly iron podzols. The area consisted of four clear-cut sites, respectively 2, 4, 6 and 8 years old, and an uncut forest reference stand. Each of the clear-cuts was split in two parts representing WTC and CC sites. Manganese showed the most definite trends after clear-cutting, exhibiting higher extractable concentrations in Oe, Oa and E horizons (4-8 years after clear-cutting) and B horizons (6-8 years after clear-cutting). The increase of exchangeable Mn in the E (2-8 years) and B (4-8 years) horizons was particularly strong. Zn concentrations tended to fluctuate with time. There was a tendency to higher Mn and Zn concentrations in the humus layer especially 2 years after CC-treatment compared with WTC, whereas the opposite trend was apparent for Cu. Mn, Cu and Zn concentrations decreased in Deschampsia flexuosa 2 years after clear-cutting, possibly due to increased soil pH.

Abstract:

The mountain ecotype of the woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) is highly dependent on the arboreal hair lichens Bryoria spp. and Alectoria sarmentosa during winter. In parts of British Columbia, partial-cutting silvicultural systems have been used in an effort to provide continuously usable winter habitat for mountain caribou, while allowing some timber removal. We reviewed available information about the changes in hair lichens after partial cutting in Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii) – subalpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa) forests of British Columbian and Idaho. Generally, abundance of Bryoria spp. in the lower canopy of individual residual trees increases with increased exposure after partial cutting, until the new regeneration begins to shelter the lower canopy of the residuals. Heavy basal area removal, however, results in low lichen availability at the stand level for many years. Abundance of Bryoria on the regeneration is low, and appears to be limited largely by the structure of the young trees, not by lichen dispersal, although dispersal capability may be limiting in Alectoria. Both distributional and physiological data suggest that Bryoria is intolerant of prolonged wetting, and that increased ventilation, rather than increased light, accounts for enhanced Bryoria abundance in the partial cuts. Alectoria sarmentosa reaches its physiological optimum in the lower canopy of unharvested stands; its growth rates are somewhat reduced in the more exposed environment of partial cuts. Both genera are capable of rapid growth: over a 7-year period, individual thalli of A. sarmentosa and Bryoria spp. (excluding those with a net biomass loss due to fragmentation) in an unlogged stand more than tripled their biomass. Calculated growth rates, as well as dispersal potential, are influenced by fragmentation. Bryoria produces more abundant, but smaller, fragments than Alectoria, and fragmentation in both genera increases in partial cuts. In subalpine mountain caribou habitat, partial-cutting prescriptions that enhance exposure of residual trees while keeping basal area removal low will maintain forage best. Regeneration management should focus on maintaining ventilation in the lower canopy of the residual stand.

Abstract:

Tattooing, body and ear piercing, hair cutting and hair styling, and esthetic procedures such as manicures, pedicures, and make-up application are popular personal services procedures currently offered to the public. Without proper infection and injury control practices in place, personal service procedures can pose a risk for the spread of communicable disease and (or) the potential for bodily injury. A well-planned standardized education program for personal service practitioners could likely contribute to the control of infection and injury from personal service procedures and be a fiscally responsible means of controlling health care costs. Using the Health Belief Model, this research study aims to explore the attitudes and beliefs of personal service practitioners towards infection control education, as this can provide insightful information for planning a successful education program. Five qualitative, in-person interviews were conducted with personal service practitioners. The results of the interviews indicate that although cost, time, access to education, and language may be barriers to receiving education, the interviewed practitioner still believe that infection control education is extremely important and necessary for client safety, and that the implementation of an effective infection control education program for the personal services industry is essential.

Abstract:

Abstract Self-injurious behaviour is purportedly common in autism, but prevalence rates have not yet been synthesised meta-analytically. In the present study, data from 14,379 participants in thirty-seven papers were analysed to generate a pooled prevalence estimate of self-injury in autism of 42% (confidence intervals 0.38–0.47). Hand-hitting topography was the most common form of self-injury (23%), self-cutting topography the least common (3%). Sub-group analyses revealed no association between study quality, participant intellectual disability or age and overall prevalence rate of self-injury. However, females obtained higher prevalence rates than males (p = .013) and hair pulling and self-scratching were associated with intellectual disability (p = .008 and p = .002, respectively). The results confirm very high rates of self-injury in autism and highlight within group risk-markers.

AbstractObjective.– The family environment is known to be an important contributor to the course of psychiatric disorders. In this study, we examined the family context of eating disordered (ED) patients with and without self-injurious behaviors (SIB).Method.– A Dutch adaptation of the Family Environment Scale ‘Sci Eng 57(9-B):1997;5927’ was completed by 131 ED patients of whom 47% showed at least one form of SIB (e.g., cutting, burning, hair pulling, etc.).Results– Results showed a significant difference in family environment between patients with and without SIB. The family environment of self-injuring ED patients was less cohesive, expressive and socially oriented, and more conflictual and disorganized than the family environment of those without SIB. No significant differences in perceived family environment were found with respect to the number or form of SIB and the subtype of ED. Neither did we find a significant interaction effect between ED subtype and presence/absence of SIB.

Abstract:

Recent evidence suggests that the Cougar (Puma concolor) has returned to New Brunswick, Quebec, Manitoba, and Ontario. An abundance of sightings have been reported for many decades throughout south-central Ontario, but genetic confirmation has been confounded by a lack of carcasses or DNA. In this paper, we identify (1) genetic evidence of a single Cougar in the wild of Ontario, (2) a gene (cytochrome b) and methodology to distinguish the Cougar from other mammals in Ontario using scats, hair follicles, and soft and hard tissue, and (3) a gene that can distinguish individual Cougars from each other and would distinguish populations of subspecies if they exist in Ontario. Potential Cougar scats and other tissue samples were collected from across Ontario, and hair snares baited with catnip and carnivore lure were placed in locations where Cougar sightings were frequent, near Sudbury, Ontario. We analyzed samples for mtDNA, and one scat sample from the Wainfleet Bog Conservation Area, Port Colborne, Ontario, was positive for Cougar. Evidence from archeological data and Cougar sightings suggests that the historical range of Cougars extended in Ontario from the Great Lakes–St. Lawrence Ecotone south, primarily associated with the Eastern Deciduous Forest Biome and the primary prey of the Cougar, the White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and the North American Elk (Cervus elaphus). The data suggest that Cougar distribution has moved north in recent times due to clear-cutting, along with their primary prey. Further studies of Cougar presence in the province are warranted.

Abstract:

The aim of the research is increasing the productive indicators of replacement sheep of different genotypes by im-proving the interior indicators. To conduct the research, three groups of ewe hoggs with 20 heads each were formed: 1 group – ewe hoggs born from stud rams and Akzhaik ewes (AKSHM x AKSHM); 2 group – ewe hoggs born from stud rams of the North Caucasian breed and Akzhaik ewes (SK x AKSHM); 3 group – ewe hoggs born from Kuibyshev stud ram breed and Akzhaik ewes (KB x AKSHM). Blood parameters, live weight at the age of 4 and 8 months, hair cut at the age of 8 months was studied of animals of these groups. It was found that blood parame-ters of the ewe hoggs of different genotypes have significant differences and these affect the indicators of growth intensity and hair cutting. The content of red blood cells and hemoglobin of ewe hoggs from group 3 was higher by 0.551012/l and 9.32 g/l, respectively, than of ones from group 1. The biochemical blood parameters of crossbred ewe hoggs from groups 3 and 2 at 4 and 8 months of age in terms of total protein by 2.84 and 4.73 g/l, glucose – by 0.86 and 1.02 mmol/l exceeded the results of purebred Akzhaik ewe hoggs. Crossbreds of groups 2 and 3 in the 8-month age were superior to their herdmates of Akzhaik breed in live weight by 3.04 and 2.74 kg, and the washed wool cut – by 0.18 and 0.24 kg, respectively.

Abstract:

Abstract Species of the Ericaceae or heath family are widely distribute in continental ecosystems and their special ericoid mycorrhizas (ERM) are considered beneficial to their survival and persistence in variable habitats. Currently, increasing anthropogenic disturbances and improper forest management are affecting subtropical forests of China where these native species located. These activities not only affect plant communities above-ground, but also impose pressures on microbial communities below- ground. In this study, root-associated fungal communities of Rhododendron simsii in four forest types under different anthropogenic disturbances were identified using an Illumina Miseq platform, i.e., old growth forests, secondary forests with one cutting (SEC I), secondary forests with two cuttings (SEC II), and Chinese-fir plantations (PLF). Intra- and inter-annual variations were analyzed by comparing samples taken in different seasons and years. The results show that: (1) over 1000 OTUs were found in hair roots with most from the division Ascomycota and Basidiomycota belonging to different functional groups; (2) while there were a few indicator OTUs specific to different forest types, seasons and years, the proportion of shared taxa was quite large, accounting for 44.9–79.4% of the total OTUs; (3) significantly positive correlations were found between disturbance sensitivity and temporal variations in common fungal orders, and both in major fungal orders were significantly different among fungal functional groups in which putative and possible ERM fungi were highly resistant to disturbances and low temporal variations. The high disturbance resistance and temporal persistence of putative ERM fungi may be essential for the successful adaptation of R. simsii in disturbed subtropical forests of China.

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to investigate the metabolism of inorganic and organic Se sources at different dietary Se levels in lactating goats and dairy cows. The study consists of two experiments on goats dosed singly, either orally with grass sprayed with Na275SeO3 one week before cutting, intraruminally (I.R.) with Na275SeO3, or intravenously (I.V.) with Na275SeO3 or 75Se-selenomethionine. Follow-up periods were from 15 to 28 d long. Dietary Se levels were 0.05, 0.22 and 0.34 mg/kg DM. Values for 75Se absorption, excretion in milk, urine and faeces, 75Se activity in plasma, erythrocytes and hair are presented. In another experiment lasting 539 d, 48 dairy cows were fed either Na275SeO3 or grass silage sprayed with Na275SeO3 one week before cutting. Dietary Se levels were from 0.03 to 1.8 mg/kg DM. Se content in milk, plasma and erythrocytes, and GSH-Px activity in erythrocytes and plasma are given. True absorption of 75Se was 63 % and 65 %, and excretion of 75Se in milk 4 % and 7 % in the goats dosed I.R. with Na275SeO3 and orally with 75Se-labeled grass. The effect of dietary Se content was non-significant. After I.V. dose, 3.6 % and 33 % of 75Se was excreted in milk in goats dosed with Na275SeO3 and 75Se-selenomethionine, respectively, Na275SeO3 being eliminated mainly via urine. In cows receiving selenium as Na275SeO3, milk contained 0.011, 0.011, 0.016 and 0.020 mg Se/l at dietary Se levels 0.11, 0.17, 0.42 and 0.68 mg/kg DM, respectively. In cows receiving Se-sprayed silage, milk Se content was 0.023, 0.020, 0.029 and 0.040 mg/l when the diet contained 0.09, 0.20, 0.45 and 1.20 mg Se/kg DM.

Abstract:

1. The effects of olivocochlear (OC) feedback on signal processing in the cochlea were studied by comparing responses seen with and without a contralateral noise or by comparing responses seen before and after cutting the OC bundle (OCB). Adding and subtracting a contralateral noise is a convenient, reversible way of changing the level of OC feedback; however, it fully reveals only the contribution of the contralaterally responsive efferent fibers. Cutting the OCB can reveal the full contribution of all fibers in the OCB; however, the manipulation can only be performed once per experiment. 2. The amplitude of the compound action potential (CAP), recorded from anesthetized or decerebrate cats in response to tone pips, could be increased by addition of contralateral noise at moderate sound pressure levels. These enhancement phenomena were most easily demonstrable when the tone pips were masked by ipsilateral broadband noise; however, in some animals CAP enhancement was seen in the absence of ipsilateral maskers. Enhancement-in-quiet may arise because of internal masking from animal-generated noise. All contralateral-noise enhancement disappeared when the OCB was cut. 3. Enhancement effects of contralateral noise could be seen in both simultaneous and forward-masking paradigms. Enhancement was largest for high-frequency tone pips (8-16 kHz) and could be demonstrated over a wide range of tone-pip levels and ipsilateral-masker levels. Suppression of CAP by the contralateral noise was often seen for lower tone-pip frequencies (2-8 kHz) and lower tone-pip intensities. These trends may be understood in the context of known properties of OC peripheral effects and known properties of physiological masking. 4. Cutting the OCB resulted in a decrease in CAP amplitudes to masked tone pips. When CAP was measured to tone pips presented in equilevel, binaural noise, OCB section resulted in a decrease in CAP amplitudes equivalent to at least a 6-dB decrease in signal-to-noise ratio. Such antimasking effects of an intact OCB were seen in both simultaneous and forward-masking paradigms. 5. Present evidence suggests that all these antimasking effects can be explained on the basis of activation of the medial OC fibers to the outer hair cells. By suppressing responses to continuous noise backgrounds, the OC reflex may enhance responses to transient masked stimuli by decreasing the level of adaptation in auditory nerve fibers. Such effects of the OC reflex should improve discrimination of transient signals presented in a continuous noise background.
