Abstract:

In [Q. Ren, S. Sam, G. Schrader and B. Sturmfels, The universal Kummer threefold, Experiment Math.22(3) (2013) 327–362], the authors conjectured equations for the universal Kummer variety in genus 3 case. Although, most of these equations are obtained from the Fourier–Jacobi expansion of relations among theta constants in genus 4, the more prominent one, Coble's quartic, cf. [A. Coble, Algebraic Geometry and Theta Functions, American Mathematical Society Colloquium Publications, Vol. 10 (American Mathematical Society, 1929)] was obtained differently, cf. [S. Grushevsky and R. Salvati Manni, On Coble's quartic, preprint (2012), arXiv:1212.1895] too. The aim of this paper is to show that Coble's quartic can be obtained as Fourier–Jacobi expansion of a relation among theta-constants in genus 4. We get also one more relation that could be in the ideal described in [Experiment Math.22(3) (2013) 327–362].

Abstract:

We consider optimal dividend payment under the constraint that the with-dividend ruin probability does not exceed a given value α. This is done in most simple discrete De Finetti models. We characterize the value function V(s,α) for initial surplus s of this problem, characterize the corresponding optimal dividend strategies, and present an algorithm for its computation. In an earlier solution to this problem, a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation for V(s,α) can be found which leads to its representation as the limit of a monotone iteration scheme. However, this scheme is too complex for numerical computations. Here, we introduce the class of two-barrier dividend strategies with the following property: when dividends are paid above a barrier B, i.e., a dividend of size 1 is paid when reaching B+1 from B, then we repeat this dividend payment until reaching a limit L for some 0≤L≤B. For these strategies we obtain explicit formulas for ruin probabilities and present values of dividend payments, as well as simplifications of the above iteration scheme. The results of numerical experiments show that the values V(s,α) obtained in earlier work can be improved, they are suboptimal.

Abstract:

The Weeks method for the numerical inversion of the Laplace transform utilizes a Möbius transformation which is parameterized by two real quantities, σ and b. Proper selection of these parameters depends highly on the Laplace space function F( s) and is generally a nontrivial task. In this paper, a convolutional neural network is trained to determine optimal values for these parameters for the specific case of the matrix exponential. The matrix exponential eA is estimated by numerically inverting the corresponding resolvent matrix [Formula: see text] via the Weeks method at [Formula: see text] pairs provided by the network. For illustration, classes of square real matrices of size three to six are studied. For these small matrices, the Cayley-Hamilton theorem and rational approximations can be utilized to obtain values to compare with the results from the network derived estimates. The network learned by minimizing the error of the matrix exponentials from the Weeks method over a large data set spanning [Formula: see text] pairs. Network training using the Jacobi identity as a metric was found to yield a self-contained approach that does not require a truth matrix exponential for comparison.

Abstract:

In this contribution to the study of gryllacridines or raspy crickets (Orthoptera: Gryllacrididae), a new proposal for classification of this family is provided, dividing it into two subfamilies and ten tribes that includes most of the 114 known genera to date (including the new genera described here). It describes and redefines two subfamilies: Hyperbaeninae n. subf. and Gryllacridinae n. sensu, ten tribes: Phryganogryllacridini n. trib., Capnogryllacridini n. trib., Asarcogryllacridini n. trib., Hyperbaenini n. trib., Paragryllacridini n. trib., Ametrini n. trib., Ametroidini n. trib., Gryllacridini n. sensu., Eremini n. trib. and Progryllacridini n. trib.; ten genera: Claudiagryllacris n. gen., Griffinigryllacris n. gen., Gorochovgryllacris n. gen., Ingrishgryllacris n. gen., Rentzgryllacris n. gen., Willemsegryllacris n. gen., Karnygryllacris n. gen., Brunnergryllacris n. gen., Bianigryllacris n. gen. and Hugelgryllacris n. gen.; seven genera groups: Gryllacrae n. group. (placed under Gryllacridini n. trib. comprising ten genera: Caustogryllacris, Eugryllacris, Gryllacris, Lyperogryllacris, Nesogryllacris, Ocellarnaca, Phlebogryllacris, Prosopogryllacris, Willemsegryllacris n. gen. and Xanthogryllacris), Metriogryllacrae n. group.

(under Gryllacridinae only comprising Triaenogryllacris) the next groups under Ametrini n. trib.: Ametrae n. group. (comprising two genera: Ametrus and Pareremus), Apotrechae n. group. (including three genera: Apotrechus, Apterolarnaca and Bianigryllacris n. gen.) and Apteronomae n. group. (comprising two genera: Ametrosomus and Apteronomus). The status of Dictogryllacris reinst. stat., was restored, previously transferred by Gorochov 2003 as subgenus of Capnogryllacris and to Pseudasarca n. stat. as full genus status is proposed. One genera, one subgenus and one fossil species are synonymized: Xiphogryllacris n. syn. (under Hyalogryllacris) and †Gryllacris brevippennis n. syn. (under †Macrelcana ungeri). The subgenus Glolarnaca n. stat. (included under Zalarnaca), is considered as full genus in Gryllacridinae (Gryllacridini). 57 new combinations are proposed, with particular emphasis on Niphetogryllacris, placing 36 of the 43 existing species of the genus: Pissodogryllacris tesellata n. comb., Willemsegryllacris barnesi n. comb. (previously placed under Gryllacris), Afrogryllacris nigripceps n. comb. (previously placed under in Barombogryllacris), Anancistrogera nigroscutata n. comb., A. cornualis n. comb. and A. genualis n. comb. (included by Karny in Caustogryllacris and by Gorochov in the subgenus Pseudolarnaca, here transfered to Anancistrogera), Hugelgryllacris tchancha n. comb. (before in Psilogryllacris), Diaphanogryllacris annandalei n. comb., D. barkudensis n. comb., D. dravida n. comb., D. gravelyi n. comb., Claudiagryllacris finoti n. comb.

(previously placed under Ametroides and Glomeremus respectively). A key to the identification of the subfamilies and tribes is provided, plus historical background of the major taxonomic works on the group and the few contributions on ecology, morphology, and behavior is also done. It also discusses the status of fossil taxa thought to belong to the family. A preliminary analysis of the zoogeography of the family from the parameters of richness, diversity and distribution patterns of different groups studied, and also, some final comments on what has been achieved in this contribution are give, what is missing to the study of gryllacridines to the future and some problems that still affect the taxonomy to genera and species level. Finally, a check list in which all family taxa are included with the new classification is provided, with some comments on their distribution and taxonomic status if necessary.

Abstract:

Bhagavadgītā se nerijetko smatra najsvetijom hinduističkom pjesmom. Mnogi su se okušali u njenu tumačenju, a među filolozima nerijetki, počev od Wilhelma von Humboldt, i u utvrđivanju povijesti njena teksta koji nosi tragove višestrukih prerada. Iako su neki došli do točnih zapažanja o nekim šavovima u tekstu (Friedrich Otto Schrader, Hermann Oldenberg, Hermann Jacobi), a neki i bliže cjelovitijoj slici povijesti teksta (Jarl Charpentier, Angelika Malinar, Gajanan Shripad Khair, Purushottam Lal Bhargava), mnogi su dobri znalci, obeshrabreni nesigurnošću utvrđivanja povijesti teksta, više voljeli tumačiti ga kao nedjeljivu cjelinu (Paul Deussen, Douglas Hill, Etienne Lamotte, Franklin Edgerton, Robert Zaehner). Ipak je između 1970-ih i 2009. došlo do vrlo točnih zaključaka o slojevima teksta, koji su dobrim dijelom oko 2000-tih prihvaćeni u međunarodnoj znanosti. Ti zaključci pokazuju da su u Bhagavadgītu u raznim vremenima ugrađivani nazori većega broja filozofskih sustava (sāṃkhya, yoga, pūrvamīmāṃsā, vedānta – monistička i teistička), da su ugrađene i – nerijetko prešutne – polemike s nizom nazora (osobito s buddhizmom – u više navrata – ali i s Vedama, yogom, s monističkom vedāntom i s dharmaśāstrom). Pouke i pobude Gīte veoma su obuhvatne i inovativne jer proizlaze iz mnogobrojnih premisa. Taj ishod analiza teksta s jedne je strane prihvaćen od niza znanstvenika u svijetu (John Brockington, Georg von Simson, Horst Brinkhaus, Gavin Flood, Przemyslaw Szczurek, Ivan Andrijanić, Robert Zydenbos i dr.), ali ga s druge osporavaju neki zapadni postmodernistički religiolozi (Alf Hiltebeitel), kao i neki kolege indijskoga podrijetla senzibilizirani protiv zapadnoga »orijentalizma« i analitičnosti (Vishwa Adluri, Joydeep Bagchi). To što oni ne uočavaju tumačeći Bhagavadgītu može se najbolje oslikati usporedbom s posjetiteljem umjetničkoga spomenika religijske naravi koji se je stoljećima preuređivao, kakva je splitska katedrala. Ako bi takav posjetitelj smatrao da svetost i umjetnička vjerodostojnost spomenika ovisi o tome je li izgrađen odjednom, od jednoga graditelja s jedinstvenom zamišlju, tada ne bi mogao uočiti složen, gdjekada polemičan, bogat i dojmljiv način na koji takav spomenik prenosi svoje poruke. A to je plod duge i složene povijesti splitske katedrale koja je prvo bila mauzolej rimskoga cara, a poslije postala crkvom posvećenom njegovim žrtvama, prolazeći potom kroz niz pregradnja i »reinterpretacija«. U povijesti umjetnosti takve su predrasude rjeđe nego u proučavanju svetih tekstova. Zato prikladan primjer umjetničkoga spomenika religijske naravi, kao što je splitska katedrala Uznesenja B. D. Marije, posvećena i sv. Dujmu i sv. Stašu, može dobro oslikati kako bismo trebali razumjeti književni i filozofski spomenik kao što je Bhagavadgītā, koja je proživjela usporedivo složenu povijest.

Abstract:

Similar to how Hopf–Lax–Oleinik-type formula yield variational solutions for Hamilton–Jacobi equations on Euclidean space, optimal mass transportations can sometimes provide variational formulations for solutions of certain mean-field games. We investigate here the particular case of transports that maximize and minimize the following ‘ballistic’ cost functional on phase space TM, which propagates Brenier’s transport along a Lagrangian L, $$b_T(v, x):=\inf\left\{\langle v, \gamma (0)\rangle +\int_0^TL(t, \gamma (t), {\dot \gamma}(t))\, dt; \gamma \in C^1([0, T], M); \gamma(T)=x\right\}\!,$$ where $M = \mathbb{R}^d$, and T >0. We also consider the stochastic counterpart: \begin{align*} \underline{B}_T^s(\mu,\nu):=\inf\left\{\mathbb{E}\left[\langle V,X_0\rangle +\int_0^T L(t, X,\beta(t,X))\,dt\right]\!; X\in \mathcal{A}, V\sim\mu,X_T\sim \nu\right\}\!, \end{align*} where $\mathcal{A}$ is the set of stochastic processes satisfying dX = βX (t, X) dt + dWt, for some drift βX (t, X), and where Wt is σ(Xs: 0 ≤ s ≤ t)-Brownian motion. Both cases lead to Lax–Oleinik-type formulas on Wasserstein space that relate optimal ballistic transports to those associated with dynamic fixed-end transports studied by Bernard–Buffoni and Fathi–Figalli in the deterministic case, and by Mikami–Thieullen in the stochastic setting. While inf-convolution easily covers cost minimizing transports, this is not the case for total cost maximizing transports, which actually are sup-inf problems. However, in the case where the Lagrangian L is jointly convex on phase space, Bolza-type dualities – well known in the deterministic case but novel in the stochastic case – transform sup-inf problems to sup–sup settings. We also write Eulerian formulations and point to links with the theory of mean-field games.

Abstract:

Jacob's disease is a rare condition that consists of the formation of a pseudo joint structure between the mandibular coronoid process and the zygomatic bone, resulting in limited mouth opening. The disease is difficult to diagnose and etiology is uncertain. This article describes a clinical case of a 6-year-old child with limited mouth opening, which resulted in the formation of a temporomandibular ankylosis leading to complete immobility due to delayed diagnosis and treatment of the disease. A review of this pathology and the most precise imaging exams are discussed for the early and differential diagnosis of the disease.

Abstract:

The preliminary study showed that the main problem, however, faced by kindergarten students are lack of mathematics skill, such arithmetic ability in kindergarten Galis. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the effectiveness of a modified bottle cap as an educational game tool towards enhancement of arithmetic ability. Samples were prepared for the quasi-experiment research design involving 60 children, aged 4-5 years. A detailed comparison is made between the experimental condition, consisted of 30 students, received the educational game tool activities and the control condition which consisted of 30 students, received the instructional activities as usual. Before and after two weeks of the intervention with the game tool of a modified bottle cap, measures of arithmetic ability were administered to either experiment or control class. The results of the study indicated that in the experiment class, children’s arithmetic ability increased significantly compared to children in the control class. The differences may have been due to the intervention. To conclude, the modified bottle cap as an educational game tool effective to improve children’s mathematics skill, especially for arithmetic ability. However, the findings required the extended study on other research methods and the bigger size of the samples. Keywords: Early Childhood, Modified bottle cap, Early Arithmetic Ability.

Abstract:

The known cicada fauna of Peru is identified. Fidicinoides ptychodiropeda n. sp., Guyalna capnopteryx n. sp., G. chrysinothrix n. sp., G. dyticamazona n. sp., G. spilonotophora n. sp., Carineta acommosis n. sp., C. bitorquata n. sp., C. castaneopercula n. sp., C. dicrophryxothrix n. sp., C. digitata n. sp., C. nigrafissura n. sp., C. quadrofastigiata n. sp., C. rumipataensis n. sp., C. tingomariaensis n. sp., C. tricuspis n. sp., Herrera castanetorquata n. sp., H. cephalodigramma n. sp., H. chanchamayoensis n. sp., H. dentata n. sp., H. moyabambaensis n. sp., H. nigropercula n. sp., H. polygramma n. sp., H. quadrimacula n. sp., and H. viriventralis n. sp. are described as new. Three taxa, Cicada (Prunasis) pulcherrima var. a Stål, 1862a, C. (P.) pulcherrima var. b Stål, 1862a, and C. (P.) pulcherrima var. c Stål, 1862a are shown to be unavailable as well as junior synonyms of Prunasis pulcherrima (Stål, 1854) which is shown to be the correct name for the taxon over the preoccupied Cicada viridula Walker, 1850. The first records of Durangona tigrina Distant, 1911, Fidicina obscura Boulard & Martinelli, 1996, F. robini Boulard & Martinelli, 1996, Fidicinoides descampsi Boulard & Martinelli, 1996, F. determinata (Walker, 1858a), F. duckensis Boulard & Martinelli, 1996, F. pseudethelae Boulard & Martinelli, 1996, Proarna bergi (Distant, 1892a), P. dactyliophora Berg, 1879, P. strigicollis Jacobi, 1907, Guyalna aurora Ruschel, 2017, G. bicolor (Olivier, 1790), G. chlorogena (Walker, 1850), G. distanti (Goding, 1925), G. glauca (Goding, 1925), Majeorona aper (Walker, 1850), M. ecuatoriana Goding, 1925, M. truncata Goding, 1925, Orialella aerizulae Boulard, 1986b, Calyria cuna (Walker, 1850), Prunasis pulcherrima (Stål, 1854), Taphura boulardi Sanborn, 2011a, Carineta boulardi Champanhet, 1999, Carineta cearana Distant, 1906b, C. congrua Walker, 1858b, C. dolosa Boulard, 1986a, C. doxiptera Walker, 1858a, C. ecuatoriana Goding, 1925, C. gemella Boulard, 1986a, C. hamata Sanborn, 2019b, C. matura Distant, 1892b, C. pilifera Walker, 1858a, C. pilosa Walker, 1850, C. ventrilloni Boulard, 1986a, Herrera concolor Sanborn, 2019b, H. melanomesocranon Sanborn, 2019b, and H. phyllodes Sanborn, 2019b are provided. The records for Durangona tigrina Distant, 1911 are the first records of the genus Durangona Distant, 1911 and tribe Durangonini Moulds and Marshall, 2018 and the records for Prunasis pulcherrima (Stål, 1854) are the first for the genus Prunasis Stål, 1862a in Peru. Previous records of Zammara tympanum (Fabricius, 1803), Orialella boliviana (Distant, 1904b), Guyalna brisa (Walker, 1850) and Selymbria stigmatica (Germar, 1834) are considered to be misidentifications of Z. hertha Schmidt, 1919, O. aerizulae, G. dyticamazona n. sp. and S. madredediosensis Sanborn, 2019b, respectively, so that Z. tympanum, O. boliviana, G. brisa and S. stigmatica are removed from the cicada fauna of Peru. The Peruvian records of Dorisiana semilata (Walker, 1850) are shown to be due to an incorrect synonymy of D. metcalfi Sanborn & Heath, 2014 and the species is removed from the faunal list as well. Additional new records of Fidicinoides poulaini Boulard & Martinelli, 1996 are provided for Brazil and Guyalna chlorogena (Walker, 1850) for French Guiana to expand the known distribution of these species. The currently known Peruvian cicada fauna is comprised of 114 described species from 23 genera, eight tribes and three subfamilies with a 115% increase in the known cicada fauna provided here.

Abstract:

Planthoppers of the family Cixiidae Spinola, 1839 are economically important owing to their ability to transmit phytoplasmas causing yellows-type diseases. The tribe Gelastocephalini Emeljanov, one of 16 tribes within the subfamily Cixiinae, has never been revised comprehensively. Twenty new genera (Aubirestus, Balyadimetopia, Barbonia, Candicarina, Corylonga, Fletcherolus, Gelastocaledonia, Gurrundus, Guttala, Hartliebia, Holgus, Larivierea, Lipsia, Melanoclypeus, Novotarberus, Payastylus, Rokebia, Schuerrera, Wernindia, Yarnikada) and 50 new species (Aubirestus semicirculatus, Balyadimetopia frederi, B. krahalla, B. marci, Barbonia spectabilis, Candicarina geroldi, C. pulchra, Carolus carinatus, C. stiriae, Corylonga aaroni, C. krottendorfi, C. leighi, C. lobata, C. loisae, C. mahmudae, C. triangula, Fletcherolus lanceolatus, F. monospinosus, Gelastocaledonia monteithi, Gelastocephalus velifer, Gurrundus fuscomarginatus, G. nectostylus, Guttala bernhardtae, G. mona, G. nickeli, G. robierae, Hartliebia towinna, Holgus ancistrus, H. liafredis, H. spiralis, H. unispinosus, Larivierea yalthi, L. yokunna, Lipsia mystrostylus, Melanoclypeus cristatus, M. uncinatus, Novotarberus flagellospinosus, N. pseudorphninus, N. remanei, Payastylus brichrius, P. gekiae, P. kernae, Rokebia australis, Ronaldia emeljanovi, Schuerrera clypeocarinata, S. ecarinata, ,Wernindia bubalis, W. lorda, W. rhomboidea, Yarnikada ulliae) are described. This increases the number of known Gelastocephalini from seven to 27 genera and from nine to 60 species. A new combination, Novotarberus jacobii, is proposed for Gelastocephalus jacobii from New Caldedonia and Cixius merula was transferred into the genus Schuerrera, resulting in a new combination, Schuerrera merula. A preliminary cladistic analysis of morphological data including all species of Gelastocephalini supported the monophyly of the tribe and its genera. The short male anal style is recognised as a synapomorphy for the tribe. The subtribe Rhigedanina was shown to be monophyletic whereas Gelastocephalina is paraphyletic. Three alternative hypotheses are presented to explain the current distribution of the tribe, which is restricted to Australia and New Caledonia. The species Novotarberus jacobii and Gelastocaledonia monteithi seem to be Gondwanan relicts.

Abstract:

Abstract In this paper, we discuss the accuracy of aquifer transmissivity (T) and storativity (S) values, obtained through the processing of hourly and 5-min groundwater level data, regularly and accurately recorded by automated stations. In particular, we discuss the role of the selection of (a) the initial undisturbed hydraulic head level, which might be influenced by prior pumping cycles, and (b) the exact time of start or shutdown of the pump, which might not be exactly recorded. Furthermore, the accuracy of T and S values based on sparse measurements is also examined. The Cooper–Jacob method and the recovery test method have been applied to obtain both T and S, and T values, respectively. Groundwater level measurements at Moudania aquifer, Chalkidiki, Greece, are used as an illustrative example. Our main conclusions are (a) assuming that pumping starts earlier than it actually does, leads to the underestimation of T and the overestimation of S, (b) transmissivity might be overestimated if the residual drawdown, due to previous pumping cycles, is substantial, (c) in recovery tests, the deviation of the straight line that fits the experimental points from the point (1,0) is an indication of residual drawdown, and (d) sparse measurements can offer reasonable estimates.

Abstract:

From year to year the number of investigations on intelligent systems grows rapidly. For example this year 245 papers from 45 countries were sent for the Second International IEEE Conference on Intelligent Systems (www.ieee-is.org; www.fnts-bg.org/is) and this is an increase of more than 50% by all indicators. The presented papers on intelligent systems were marked by big audiences and they provoked a significant interest that ultimately led to the formation of vivid discussions, exchange of ideas and locally provoked the creation of working groups for different applied projects. All this reflects the worldwide tendencies for the leading role of the research on intelligent systems theoretically and practically. The greater part of the presented research dealt with traditional for the intelligent systems problems like artificial intelligence, knowledge engineering, intelligent agents, neural and fuzzy networks, intelligent data processing, intelligent control and decision making systems, and also new interdisciplinary problems like ontology and semantics in Internet, fuzzy intuitionistic logic. The majority of papers from the European and American researchers are dedicated to the theory and the applications of the intelligent systems with machine learning, fuzzy inference or uncertainty. Another big group of papers focuses on the domain of building and integrating ontologies of applications with heterogeneous multiagent systems. A great number of papers on intelligent systems deals with fuzzy sets. The papers of many other researchers underscore the significance of the contemporary perception-oriented methods and also of different applications in the intelligent systems. On the first place this is valid for the paradigm of L. A. Zadeh 'computing with words'. The Guest Editors in the present specialized journal volume would like to introduce a wealth of research with an applied and theoretical character that possesses a common characteristic and it is the conference best papers complemented and updated by the new elaborations of the authors during the last half a year. A short description of the presented in the volume papers follows. In 'Combining Local and Global Access to Ontologies in a Multiagent System' R. Brena and H. Ceballos (Mexico) proposed an original way for operation with ontologies where a part of the ontology is processed by a client's component and the rest is transmitted to the other agents by an ontology agent. The inter-agent communication is improved in this way. In 'Fuzzy Querying of Evolutive Situations: Application to Driving Situations' S. Ould Yahia and S. Loriette-Rougegrez (France) present an approach to analysis of driving situations using multimedia images and fuzzy estimates that will improve the driver's security. In 'Rememberng What You Forget in an Online Shopping Context' M. Halvey and M. Keane (Ireland) presented their approach to constructing online system that predicts the items for future shopping sessions using a novel idea called Memory Zones. In 'Reinforcement Learning for Online Industrial Process Control' the authors J. Govindhasamy et al. (Ireland) use a synthesis of dynamic programming, reinforcement learning and backpropagation for a goal of modeling and controlling an industrial grinding process. The felicitous combination of methods contributes for a greater effectiveness of the applications compared to the existing controllers. In 'Dynamic Visualization of Information: From Database to Dataspace' the authors C. St-Jacques and L. Paquin (Canada) suggested a friendly online access to large multimedia databases. W. Huang (UK) redefines in 'Towards Context-Aware Knowledge Management in e-Enterprises' the concept of context in intelligent systems and proposes a set of meta-information elements for context description in a business environment. His approach is applicable in the E-business, in the Semantic Web and in the Semantic Grid. In 'Block-Based Change Detection in the Presence of Ambient Illuminaion Variations' T. Alexandropoulos et al. (Greece) use a statistic analysis, clustering and pattern recognition algorithms, etc. for the goal of noise extraction and the global illumination correction. In 'Combining Argumentation and Web Search Technology: Towards a Qualitative Approach for Ranking Results' C. Chesñevar (Spain) and A. Maguitman (USA) proposed a recommender system for improving the WEB search. Defeasible argumentation and decision support methods have been used in the system. In 'Modified Axiomatic Basis of Subjective Probability' K. Tenekedjiev et al. (Bulgaria) make a contribution to the axiomatic approach to subjective uncertainty by introducing a modified set of six axioms to subjective probabilities. In 'Fuzzy Rationality in Quantitative Decision Analysis' N. Nikolova et al. (Bulgaria) present a discussion on fuzzy rationality in the elicitation of subjective probabilities and utilities. The possibility to make this special issue was politely offered to the Guest Editors by Prof. Kaoru Hirota, Prof. Toshio Fukuda and we thank them for that. Due to the help of Kenta Uchino and also due to the new elaborations presented by explorers from Europe and America the appearance of this special issue became possible.

Abstract:

The purpose of time-interval sequential pattern mining is to help superstore business managers promote product sales. Sequential pattern mining discovers the time interval patterns for items: for example, if most customers purchase product item A, and then buy items B and C after r to s and t to u days respectively, the time interval between r to s and t to u days can be provided to business managers to facilitate informed marketing decisions. We treat these time intervals as patterns to be mined, to predict the purchasing time intervals between A and B, as well as B and C. Nevertheless, little work considers the significance of product items while mining these time-interval sequential patterns. This work extends previous work and retains high-utility time interval patterns during pattern mining. This type of mining is meant to more closely reflect actual business practice. Experimental results show the differences between three mining approaches when jointly considering item utility and time intervals for purchased items. In addition to yielding more accurate patterns than the other two methods, the proposed UTMining_A method shortens execution times by delaying join processing and removing unnecessary records.

Abstract:

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government established “Seaside park plan” and “Tokyo municipal seaside park ordinance.” The Tokyo Metropolitan Government considers that the conservation of seaside, riverside and urban parks make the creation of places where residents of Tokyo can come in contact with nature. However, it seems that the planning and construction of those parks have been carried out by the administration from one-side view. The waterfront parks are public and have been used by many people. As there have been no data what components of parks are important for users of parks, eight seaside parks called waterfront parks were watched, degrees of satisfactory of eighty two residents who live in metropolitan area about components of parks were surveyed, and degrees of concern about components of the parks have been obtained by conjoint analysis. Those waterfront parks are located at Odaiba near Tokyo Bay. Here, the components of parks are as follows; 1) Hydrophile, 2) Rest area, 3) Public transport and location, 4) Recreational facilities, 5) Scenery and appearance, 6) Maintenance, 7) Monuments, and 8) Openness. The following main results have been obtained from the research. : a) Both female and male consider scenery and appearance, and hydrophile are important. b) Rest area is the least important than other components to those in their 20's, but important to those in their 30's, 40's and 60's. c) Public transport and location are least important for teens, but important to all age groups. d) Those in their 50's found 1) Hydrophile, 3) Public transport and location, and 5) Scenery and appearance are important. If there is an incomplete answer in response, we can utilize the data effectively by using the proposed method.

Abstract:

IntroductionThe treatment of hemophilia A and B has improved considerably in recent years. The availability of hepatitis A and B vaccines, safer clotting factor concentrates (particularly recombinant factor VIII and recombinant factor IX concentrates), and synthetic agents, such as desmopressin,1 has resulted in earlier, more aggressive treatment and prophylactic regimens aimed at preventing chronic, debilitating joint disease.2-8There have been no new cases of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease attributable to clotting factor in North America since 1987, and documented instances of hepatitis transmission by clotting factor concentrates have been rare in the 1990s. Concerns remain that certain nonenveloped viruses, such as human parvovirus B19 and hepatitis A virus, can still be transmitted by some plasma-derived clotting factor concentrates,9and questions linger as to whether the agents causing Creutzfeld-Jacob disease (CJD) and new variant CJD might also be transmitted. Overall, however, the products available to treat hemophilia today are safer than ever before.An increasing number of persons with hemophilia are receiving exclusively recombinant (r) products, and manufacturers are now producing new, second-generation r-factor VIII products that are stabilized with sugars, rather than albumin, or are smaller, truncated molecules.10 Scientists are now designing specific changes into the factor VIII genes in an attempt to derive unique and improved forms of r-factor VIII.11 The next logical areas of focus are to bring to fruition the promise of an “unlimited supply” of r-factor VIII and r-factor IX products, to meet the needs of persons with hemophilia, not only in developed countries, but throughout the world, and to be able to cure hemophilia through gene therapy.As gene therapy trials begin in humans with hemophilia, the scientists involved, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and perhaps most importantly, members of the hemophilia community must decide which categories of affected individuals should be entered in these trials, particularly the earliest, Phase I trials. Who is most likely to benefit if gene therapy proves to be both effective and safe? Who should be the first patients to be enrolled in each new trial? Who is at greatest risk if something unexpected happens? What would be considered a good outcome? Clearly, some of these questions are more difficult to answer than others.

Nos levantamentos florísticos, realizados em 8 de janeiro de 2005, e após o plantio, em 26 de janeiro e 25 de junho de 2006, observou-se alta riqueza florística, com 86 espécies botânicas distribuídas em 29 famílias e 21% de espécies exóticas. O solo subsolado, gradeado, corrigido e adubado, associado às introduções de M. maximus e S. kazungula, foram as alternativas que mais contribuíram para reduzir a cobertura de E. plana. As gramíneas nativas presentes na vegetação do acostamento, Paspalum plicatulum Mitchx, Piptochaetium montevidense (Spreng.)

Abstract:

A novel growth evaluation system for tobacco planting (GESTP) based on a B/S architecture is introduced in this paper. It mainly consists of three parts: a mobile application (mobile app), a browser terminal and a server terminal. The GESTP system is used to evaluate the growth of tobacco and give farmers planting guidance instead them having to rely on personal judgment. Once the photos of the tobacco leaf and plant are uploaded to the web server via the mobile app or the browser terminal, the application program of the server terminal is called to process the tobacco images with image processing algorithms. The results including the grade of the tobacco growth and planting guidance will be provided to the client within a 2-second timeframe, which greatly help farmers understand the growth of tobacco and take planting measures. The running result indicates that the GESTP system provides an effective and straightforward way to evaluate the growth of tobacco and provides cultivation guidance to tobacco farmers.

Abstract:

Seven species of Portulaca growing in Hawaii can be divided into two groups based on the morphology, anatomy, and ultrastructure of their leaves. Portulaca oleracea, P. molokiniensis, P. lutea, forming group A, have spatulate to obovate leaves, paradermal minor veins, and mesophyll cells that completely encircle the minor veins. The chloroplasts in their bundle sheath cells are larger than those in the mesophyll cells and have well-developed grana and reduced peripheral reticulum. Bundle sheath mitochondria are larger and more numerous than those in the mesophyll, and chloroplasts in the mesophyll cells have well-developed grana and peripheral reticulum. Portulaca pilosa, P. villosa, P. sclerocarpa, and P. "ulupalakua," forming group B, have lanceolate to oblong–oblanceolate leaves, peripheral minor veins, and incomplete wreaths of mesophyll cells. The choroplasts in their bundle sheath cells are about the same size as those in the mesophyll and have reduced grana and well-developed peripheral reticulum. The bundle sheath mitochondria are about the same in size and number as those in the mesophyll, and the mesophyll chloroplasts have well-developed grana and reduced peripheral reticulum. Groups A and B may be equivalent, respectively, to types ii and i of R. C. Carolin, S. W. L. Jacobs, and M. Vesk (Aust. J. Bot. 26: 683–698, 1978) and to coronary subtypes B and A of E. V. Voznesenskaya and Y. V. Gamalei (Bot. Zh. Leningrad, 71: 1291–1306, 1986), which constitute groupings of Portulaca species studied by those authors.

Abstract:

Background:Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is associated with high morbidity and is one of the autoimmune rheumatic diseases with the highest mortality. However, tools to evaluate disease activity, response to treatment or to predict disease progression are scarce. Dysregulated immune responses are major pathogenic players at the onset and in the progression of SSc. Recent evidence demonstrates that mechanical properties of circulating leukocytes reflect their states and functions, and during activation ensure their adaptation to the changing physical requirements (e.g. softening to extravasate and migrate in the tissues) (1). Real-time fluorescence and deformability cytometry (RT-FDC) is a novel technique that allows the identification of cells from a heterogenous population by marker expression, with their subsequent mechanical phenotyping in a high-throughput manner (2, 3).Objectives:Here we characterized the physical properties of circulating immune cells in SSc patients, aiming to identify disease-related changes in their phenotypes, clinical correlates of these changes and their potential to predict disease progression.Methods:51 patients fulfilling the 2013 ACR/EULAR classification criteria for SSc and 17 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were included in the study. Blood was collected from the donors between 05.2019 and 10.2020. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated and stained with antibodies against major circulating lymphoid (CD8+, CD4+ T cells, B cells, NK cells, NKT-like cells) and myeloid subpopulations (classical, intermediate and inflammatory monocytes, conventional dendritic cells and plasmacytoid dendritic cells). Each subpopulation was identified in RT-FDC by standard gating based on its marker expression and its area, deformation and apparent Young’s modulus (a measure of cell stiffness) were determined. The analysis was conducted using a custom Python script. For the patients included, demographic and clinical data were collected at every visit. Correlations with clinical parameters were analyzed in R.Results:All three subpopulations of monocytes identified by expression of HLA-DR, CD14 and/or CD16 had higher deformation and cross-sectional area in SSc patients as compared to healthy controls. From the SSc patients, monocytes had higher deformation and area in those with diffuse cutaneous SSc, extensive lung fibrosis and active disease as compared to those with limited cutaneous SSc, limited lung fibrosis and stable disease, respectively. Moreover, monocyte deformation and area significantly correlated with the EUSTAR activity index, with mRSS, with the extent of lung involvement on HR-CT (positive correlation), with DLCO and FVC (negative correlation). Follow-up data collected one year after the measurements showed that a higher monocyte deformation and cross-sectional area at baseline predicts future progression of lung disease, defined according to the INBUILD study, as well as future progression of skin fibrosis.Conclusion:We demonstrated that circulating subsets of monocytes in SSc patients show an increase in deformation and cross-sectional area, that these changes correlate with current disease activity and can identify patients with high risk of future progression of skin or lung fibrosis. These changes might reflect an activated state of circulating monocytes in SSc that facilitate their tissue migration. Mechanical phenotyping of monocytes by RT-FDC might thus serve as a useful tool for clinical evaluation of SSc patients.References:[1]Bashant KR, Toepfner N, Day CJ, Mehta NN, Kaplan MJ, Summers C, et al.

O objetivo com este estudo foi compreender o efeito da disponibilidade hídrica sobre a produtividade no capim-mombaça [Megathyrsus maximus (Jacq.) B. K. Simon & S. W. L. Jacobs] e capim-marandu [Brachiaria brizantha (Hochst. ex A. Rich.) R. D. Webster], determinando o coeficiente de resposta ao déficit hídrico (ky). O experimento foi avaliado em delineamento de blocos ao acaso, com duas forragens e três repetições. O período experimental correspondeu a doze ciclos de crescimento com intervalos fixos de colheita (28 dias para a estação chuvosa e 42 dias para a estação seca). Os ky foram determinados com base nos dados de produção real e potencial das forrageiras, bem como nos dados de evapotranspiração real e máxima. Para ambas as forragens, o acúmulo de forragem (AF) foi maior no outono e menor no inverno (5310 e 626 kg de matéria seca ha-1, respectivamente). Na média das quatro estações, o AF para capim-marandu foi 21,3% maior que o capim-mombaça (3344 vs. 2756 kg matéria seca ha-1, respectivamente). Para o capim-mombaça, o ky foi de 1,05, indicando sensibilidade média a alta ao déficit hídrico. No entanto, o ky foi de 0,63 para o capim-marandu, o que representa baixa sensibilidade ao déficit de água do solo.Palavras-chave: Brachiaria; coeficiente de sensibilidade; Megathyrsus; tolerância a seca. YIELD RESPONSE FACTOR OF MOMBAÇA GUINEA GRASS AND MARANDU PALISADE GRASS TO WATER DEFICIT ABSTRACT: The objective with this research was to understand the effect of water availability on Mombaça guinea grass [Megathyrsus maximus (Jacq.) B. K. Simon & S. W. L. Jacobs] and Marandu palisade grass [Brachiaria brizantha (Hochst. ex A. Rich.) R. D. Webster] productivity, determining the yield response factor to water deficit (ky). The experiment was evaluated in a randomized block design with two forages and three replicates. The experimental period corresponded to twelve growth cycles with fixed harvest intervals (28 days for the rainy season and 42 days for the dry season). The ky were determinate based on the data of real and potential yield of grasses, as well as the data of real and maximum evapotranspiration. To both grasses, herbage accumulation (HA) was greatest in the autumn and leats in the winter (5310 and 626 kg dry matter ha-1, respectively). On average of the four seasons, the HA for Marandu palisade grass was 21.3% higher than Mombaça guinea grass (3344 vs 2756 kg dry matter ha-1, respectively). For Mombaça guinea grass, ky was 1.05, indicating medium to high sensitivity to water deficit. However, the ky was 0.63 for Marandu palisade grass, which represents low sensitivity to soil water deficit.Keywords: Brachiaria; drought tolerance; Megathyrsus; sensitivity coefficient.

In 19 critically ill patients with suspected or microbiologically documented infections caused by XDR Gram-negative strains, a loading dose of 9 MU colistin methanesulfonate (CMS) (∼270 mg colistin base activity) was administered with a maintenance dose of 4.5 MU every 12 h, commenced after 24 h. Patients on renal replacement were excluded. CMS infusion was given over 30 min or 1 h. Repeated blood sampling was performed after the loading dose and after the 5th or 6th dose. Colistin concentrations and measured CMS, determined after hydrolization to colistin and including the partially sulfomethylated derivatives, were determined with a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry assay. Population pharmacokinetic analysis was conducted in NONMEM with the new data combined with data from previous studies. Measured colistimethate concentrations were described by 4 compartments for distribution and removal of sulfomethyl groups, while colistin disposition followed a 1-compartment model. The average observed maximum colistin A plus B concentration was 2.65 mg/liter after the loading dose (maximum time was 8 h). A significantly higher availability of the measured A and B forms of colistimethate and colistin explained the higher-than-expected concentrations in the present study compared to those in previous studies. Creatinine clearance was a time-varying covariate of colistimethate clearance. The incidence of acute renal injury was 20%.

Abstract:

Objetivou-se avaliar um plantio de enriquecimento com 12 espécies arbóreas nativas da região, em uma área reflorestada do Corredor de Biodiversidade Santa Maria, localizado entre os Municípios de Santa Terezinha de Itaipu e São Miguel do Iguaçu, no Paraná. Objetivou-se, também, avaliar a persistência da espécie invasora Megathyrsus maximus (Jacq.) B. K. Simon & S. W. L. Jacobs, conhecido como capim-colonião, e alterações nas características físicas e químicas do solo. As avaliações consistiram no acompanhamento mensal da mortalidade e desenvolvimento das mudas e da massa de matéria seca obtida no manejo do capim-colonião. As alterações promovidas no solo foram verificadas por meio de três coletas de solo ao longo do experimento. A mortalidade alcançou 24,38%, sendo mais acentuada nos dois primeiros meses, janeiro (11,88%) e fevereiro (5,63%). Em relação ao desenvolvimento das mudas, destacaram-se as espécies Aloysia virgata (Ruiz & Pav.) Juss. (lixeira) e Ceiba speciosa (A. St.-Hil.) Ravenna (paineira), com acréscimos mensais em diâmetro de 0,80 mm e 0,60 mm e em altura de 5,80 cm e 1,74 cm, respectivamente. O controle do capim-colonião pela metodologia aplicada foi eficiente, não havendo reincidência considerável ao longo dos meses. Por meio das análises de solo, foi possível observar que a recuperação da área, mesmo que por período curto, mostrou-se eficiente na alteração das características físicas e químicas do solo, podendo ainda levar a novas modificações em decorrência do desenvolvimento das mudas.

Abstract:

Evolution and learning are two fundamental forms of adaptationl,2). Simulated evolution and learning refers to the study of techniques and methods inspired by Nature for solving complex and difficult real-world problems. These techniques and methods include evolutionary algorithms3), fuzzy learning algorithms, neural learning algorithms, and various statistical learning methods such as nearest neighbor classifiers. In addition to various learning tasks, these techniques and methods have also been applied to various difficult optimization problems that cannot be solved effectively by classical methods (such as mathematical programming methods). This special issue contains six papers selected from those presented at the Second Asia-Pacific Conference on Simulated Evolution And Learning (SEAL'98), Canberra, Australia, 24-27 November 1998. However, all six papers have been rereviewed and substantially extended and revised. They represent significant improved work from their original SEA L'98 papers. The six papers can be grouped into three categories. The first two papers by He et al. and by Ishibuchi and Nakashima described novel applications of genetic algorithms to nearest neighbor classifiers. The next two papers by Kawakami et al. and by Tachibana and Furuhashi presented new fuzzy learning systems. The last two papers by Myung and Kim and by Yu and Wu discussed constrained optimization using the evolutionary approach. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr Bob McKay, the SEAL'98 Organizing Committee Chair, for playing a pivotal role in organizing the very successful SEAL'98, Professor Kaoru Hirota, the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Advanced Computational Intelligence, for encouraging me to edit this special issue, and all the authors for their high-quality work.

ABSTRACT Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the shear bond strength of hydrophilic materials like Transbond MIP with Assure-fluoride releasing light cure sealant paste system (Reliance orthodontic product), Enhance Lc-adhesion booster (Reliance Orthodontics) Prime and Bond NT–one step adhesive with nanotechnology (Dentsply Product India) with Transbond XT as the control group. Materials and methods The study was conducted on 180 extracted human premolar teeth which were divided into five main groups. Each group contained 36 teeth, which were further subdivided into three subgroups containing 12 teeth. The teeth were bonded in three different surface environments namely dry, contaminated with artificial saliva and reprimed after contamination with artificial salvia. The brackets were bonded and cured. The shear bond strength was tested using Instron universal testing machine (4501). Results The results were subjected to statistical analysis like 3 factorial ANOVA and compared to post-hoc using the Student Newman levels test. The residual resin on the tooth surface after debonding was evaluated with adhesive remnant index. Clinical significance The results revealed that in situations in which moisture contamination is critical there is distinct advantage in using hydrophilic primers.

Abstract:

Chlamydia trachomatis is a bacterial pathogen that can cause serious reproductive harm. We describe a class of stochastic branching processes and their application in modelling the growth of an infection by Chlamydia. Using simulations we show that the model can reproduce biological phenomena of interest, and we show the variability in outcomes of infections under the same parameter conditions. We further speculate how this model might be used to explain long-term adverse reproductive sequelae. References Y. M. AbdelRahman and R. J. Belland. The chlamydial developmental cycle.

Abstract:

IntroductionRecurrent Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is very rare. It occurs in 2% to 5% of GBS patients. It is unclear as to why some patients have a recurrence and whether this occurs more frequently in a distinct group of patients. We report a case of a 75 year old man who had five discreet attacks of GBS in 30 years. He had an excellent response to intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and achieved full clinical recovery after each attack.CaseA 75 year old man presented to the hospital with progressive ascending pattern of numbness and weakness in upper and lower limbs. This was in the setting of 10 days history of upper respiratory tract infective (URTI) symptoms. Neurological examination revealed distal sensory loss and distal weakness in upper and lower limbs. Deep tendon reflexes were absent. Nerve conduction studies showed features in keeping with GBS. He was treated with 5 days of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) with significant improvement. Interestingly, this was on the background of having had 4 previous attacks of GBS in 1986 (preceded by acute gout), 1997 (preceded by the flu), 2010 (preceded by small bowel obstruction) and 2016 (preceded by viral gastroenteritis). He responded to IVIG each time and returned to his premorbid level function promptly after each attack.ConclusionRecurrent GBS is rare. It is important for clinician to be able to distinguish between recurrent GBS, treatment related fluctuations (GBS-TRF) and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy as the treatment and outcomes are different for each of these conditions.References.

Abstract:

Das estratégias adotadas pelas plantas invasoras para dominância em comunidades vegetais a liberação de aleloquímicos se sobressai. Estes compostos encontram-se em qualquer parte vegetal, principalmente em exsudatos de raízes, folhas e seus degradados sendo liberados no ambiente através de emanações voláteis ou solúveis, translocados em água. O capim-annoni-2, Eragrostis plana Nees, é uma Poaceae exótica, invasora de pastagens e com potencial alelopático. Para testar este efeito coletaram-se caules e folhas da parte mediana da planta de capim-annoni-2, que foram cortados em pedaços de 0,5cm e dispostos em três níveis de cobertura 0%, 50% e 100% em caixas gerbox, usando papel germitest como substrato sobre o material picado de capim-annoni-2. Foram colocadas para germinar 100 sementes das espécies: Paspalum notatum Flüggé, P. regnellii Mez, Megathyrsus maximus B. K. Simon e S. W. L. Jacobs, Setaria sphacelata (Schumach) Staff e C. E. Hubb ex Chipp e Lactuca sativa L. como testemunha. O delineamento foi em blocos casualizados com quatro repetições. Observou-se o efeito alelopático na germinação das sementes após o início da decomposição do tecido vegetal do capim-annoni-2. Sementes com rápida germinação, como as de M. maximus e P. regnellii bem como a L. sativa, escaparam do efeito alelopático. As espécies mais prejudicadas nos seus processos germinativos foram o P. notatum e S.sphacelata. O dano à germinação foi proporcional ao gradiente crescente do nível de cobertura do capim-annoni-2 com exceção do P. regnellii que apresentou no nível de 50% de cobertura do capim-annoni-2, aumento na germinação, porém com queda significativa da mesma no nível de 100% de cobertura. O efeito alelopático do capim-annoni-2 se dá durante a decomposição dos seus tecidos vegetais. Sementes com germinação precoce escapam destes efeitos. A germinação tardia de P. notatum e S. sphacelata as expôs ao efeito alelopático do capim-annoni-2. A germinação de P. regnellii é estimulada no nível de cobertura com capim-annoni-2 de 50%, contudo, na cobertura máxima há queda significativa na germinação de suas sementes.

Abstract:

Abstract Preference of adult Japanese beetle (Popillia japonica Newman) for different species, varieties, and cultivars was compared among 33 crabapple (Malus Mill.), nine cherry (Prunus L.), and nine birch (Betula L.) taxa. Field-grown crabapples and cherries and container-grown birches were visually rated based on the percentage of total leaf area skeletonized by natural populations of this beetle. The largest variation in the preference of Japanese beetles was found among the crabapples, with injury ranging from 0 to 83%. Eighteen of the crabapple taxa had no significant injury. All of the cherry taxa were skeletonized in excess of 46%, suggesting little natural resistance among these plants. Eight of the birch taxa had no significant injury, while one species, B. jacquemontii, had an average injury of 16%. An additional study was conducted to evaluate the degree of resistance of selected crabapple taxa by caging beetles on branches of individual trees in no choice tests. Although beetles continued to feed on one resistant species, M. hupehensis (a species without injury under natural conditions), beetles would not feed on leaves of another resistant cultivar, M. baccata ‘Jackii’, when caged on those trees. These results indicate there is considerable potential for using resistance to adult Japanese beetle feeding as one selection criterion when choosing taxa of crabapple and birch for use in the landscape. Results also suggest that the mechanism(s) of resistance can vary and may include aspects of avoidance (low attraction of beetles) as well as antixenosis.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThe 9-epimers of quinine (QN) and quinidine (QD) are known to exhibit poor cytostatic potency againstP. falciparum(Karle JM, Karle IL, Gerena L, Milhous WK, Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 36:1538–1544, 1992). We synthesized 9-epi-QN (eQN) and 9-epi-QD (eQD) via Mitsunobu esterification-saponification and evaluated both cytostatic and cytocidal antimalarial activities. Relative to the cytostatic activity of QN and QD, we observed a large decrease in cytostatic activity (higher 50% inhibitory concentration [IC50s]) against QN-sensitive strain HB3, QN-resistant strain Dd2, and QN-hypersensitive strain K76I, consistent with previous work. However, we observed relatively small changes in cytocidal activity (the 50% lethal dose), similar to observations with chloroquine (CQ) analogues with a wide range of IC50s (see the accompanying paper [A. P. Gorka, J. N. Alumasa, K. S. Sherlach, L. M. Jacobs, K. B. Nickley, J. P. Brower, A. C. de Dios, and P. D. Roepe, Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 57:356–364, 2013]). Compared to QN and QD, the 9-epimers had significantly reduced hemozoin inhibition efficiency and did not affect pH-dependent aggregation of ferriprotoporphyrin IX (FPIX) heme. Magnetic susceptibility measurements showed that the 9-epimers perturb FPIX monomer-dimer equilibrium in favor of monomer, and UV-visible (VIS) titrations showed that eQN and eQD bind monomer with similar affinity relative to QN and QD. However, unique ring proton shifts in the presence of zinc(II) protoporphyrin IX (ZnPIX) indicate that binding of the 9-epimers to monomeric heme is via a distinct geometry. We isolated eQN- and eQD-FPIX complexes formed under aqueous conditions and analyzed them by mass, fluorescence, and UV-VIS spectroscopies. The 9-epimers produced low-fluorescent adducts with a 2:1 stoichiometry (drug to FPIX) which did not survive electrospray ionization, in contrast to QN and QD complexes. The data offer important insight into the relevance of heme interactions as a drug target for cytostatic versus cytocidal dosages of quinoline antimalarial drugs and further elucidate a surprising structural diversity of quinoline antimalarial drug-heme complexes.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Gamma-2 herpesviruses encode a homolog of mammalian D-type cyclins. The v-cyclin encoded by murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (γHV68) induces cell cycle progression and is an oncogene (L. F. van Dyk, J. L. Hess, J. D. Katz, M. Jacoby, S. H. Speck, and H. W. Virgin IV, J. Virol. 73:5110–5122, 1999). However, the role of the pro-proliferative v-cyclins in gamma-2 herpesvirus pathogenesis is not known. Here we report the generation and characterization of a γHV68 v-cyclin mutant (v-cyclin.LacZ) that is unable to express a functional v-cyclin protein. Notably, although the γHV68 v-cyclin is expressed from an early-late lytic transcript, v-cyclin.LacZ replicated normally in fibroblasts in vitro and during acute infection in the spleen, liver, and lungs in vivo. Moreover, v-cyclin.LacZ exhibited wild-type (wt) virulence in mice with severe combined immunodeficiency. In addition, in a model of γHV68-induced chronic disease in mice lacking the gamma interferon receptor (IFNγR−/−), v-cyclin.LacZ virus was similar to wt γHV68 in terms of the incidence of mortality and vasculitis. Further analysis revealed that the frequencies of splenocytes and peritoneal cells harboring the latent γHV68 genome in normal and B-cell-deficient mice infected with wt γHV68 or v-cyclin.LacZ were very similar. However, v-cyclin.LacZ was significantly compromised in its capacity to reactivate from latency. This phenotype was conclusively mapped to the v-cyclin gene by (i) generating a marker rescue virus (v-cyclin.MR) from the v-cyclin.LacZ mutant, which restored the frequency of cells in which virus reactivated from latency to the levels observed with wt γHV68; and (ii) generating a second v-cyclin mutant virus containing a translation stop codon within the v-cyclin gene (v-cyclin.stop), which was compromised in reactivation from latency. These studies demonstrate that despite expression as a lytic cycle gene, the pro-proliferative γHV68 v-cyclin is not required for γHV68 replication either in vitro or during acute infection in vivo but rather is a critical determinant of reactivation from latency.

Abstract:

Abstract CD19 is expressed broadly on the surface of B-cells during normal development and malignant growth, making it a good target for immunotherapy. While immunotherapies targeting CD19 have had great success against pediatric B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), relapses lacking the CD19 epitope still occur (Maude et al., 2014). We have discovered that alternative splicing of CD19, in particular the skipping of exon 2, is responsible for the loss of CD19 extracellular domains, causing resistance to therapy (Sotillo et al., 2015). Here we investigate the molecular mechanism of CD19 exon 2 skipping. The sequence-based algorithm AVISPA (Barash et al., 2013) predicts several splicing factors (SF) to bind near exon 2. We used RNA crosslink immunoprecipitation (CLIP) in nuclear lysates from Nalm-6 B-ALL cells to test the direct binding to exon 2 of 9 AVISPA-predicted SFs and 6 SFs commonly involved in exon skipping. This allowed us to identify SRSF3, hnRNP-A, and hnRNP-C as CD19 exon 2-bound proteins. Subsequent siRNA knockdown experiments reveled that downregulation of SRSF3, but not hnRNP-C, increases the frequency of exon 2 skipping in a dose dependent manner, suggesting that SRSF3 promotes the inclusion of exon 2. To further validate the role of SRSF3 in CD19 splicing we mined the publicly available GSE52834 dataset where 22 RNA binding proteins were knocked down in the GM19238 lymphoblastoid cell line. Of all siRNAs tested, only the anti-SRSF3 siRNA caused an increase in exon 2 skipping, suggesting that SRSF3 is indeed the key regulator of CD19 splicing. Interestingly, SRSF3 has been shown to interact with PSIP1, a cofactor known to "read" modified histone H3K36me3 (Pradeepa et al., 2012), suggesting a convergence of splicing-based and epigenetics mechanisms. Indeed, exonic regions in genomic DNA are enriched for H3K36me3, and knockdown of Setd2, the H3K36 methyltransferase, results in changes in exon inclusion (Luco et al., 2010; Brown et al., 2012; Hnilicova and Stanek, 2011). Thus, we are currently investigating the connection between the H3K36me3 marks in the CD19 locus and alternative splicing of CD19. Our data could suggest a method of restoring full-length CD19 expression in immunotherapy-resistant cancers using epigenetic drugs.

Abstract:

Abstract Objective The “healthy immigrant effect” pertains to findings that Hispanics/Latinos born outside of the US tend to be physically and emotionally healthier than individuals born in the US. However, immigrant Latino groups residing in the US have higher incidences of dementia (Tang et al., 2001). Sex/gender and years of education have been found to moderate the relationship between age of migration and cognitive functioning among immigrants born in Mexico (Garcia et al., 2017; Hill et al., 2012). While years of education has been the focus of many studies, literacy (ability to read/write) has been less frequently explored as a moderator of age of migration and cognitive change. We investigated the effect of age of migration on cognitive trajectory in a diverse Latino population and explored whether literacy influences the association between age of immigration and cognitive change. We hypothesize that literacy (ability to read/write) will buffer the effects of age of migration on cognitive (memory, language, motor speed, visuospatial) trajectory. Participants and Method Age at baseline, English fluency, country of birth, sex/gender, and years of education were included as time-invariant covariates and literacy was tested as a moderator via multiple group modeling. Results Results show that age of migration is marginally and inversely associated with baseline cognitive performance (p < .01). Thus, individuals who immigrated at an older age had lower baseline cognitive scores than their counterparts. Age of migration was not associated with cognitive change. Independent of covariates, literacy did not buffer the negative effects of later age at migration on cognitive function. Conclusions Results suggest that literacy confers a small advantage in premorbid cognition, but does not protect against cognitive decline over time. These findings also suggest that adults who immigrate at an older age present with lower cognitive scores at baseline, but do not experience faster rates of cognitive change. References Tang, M.

Abstract:

Background:Despite modern therapeutic approaches, many patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remain symptomatic after several cycles of treatment and may become so called Difficult-To-Treat (D2T)1. D2T RA is a multifactorial condition in which different factors may be major determinants of the persistence of signs and symptoms, which is seldom caused by drug resistance only2. Discovering new biomarkers is necessary to develop tailored therapies that will be effective in an individual patient at each stage of the disease.Objectives:The primary aim of this pilot study was to validate a target proteomic technique for the proteome profiling of the two cohorts of RA patients and controls. Moreover, we searched for potential plasma biomarker(s) predicting D2T RA.Methods:Seven RA patients with persistent remission on biological therapy in two consecutive examinations 12 wks apart (mean age 59.6±14 yrs), seven D2T RA patients fulfilling proposed EULAR definition of D2T RA1 (mean age 59.3±13 yrs), and six healthy controls (mean age 58.8±15 yrs) were included in this study. All subjects were females and their samples were collected before starting biological therapy. We employed Thermo Orbitrap Fusion paired with nano-flow UHPLC Dionex Ultimate 3000. Prior to quantification, 125 plasma proteins were modified by Peptiquant Plus Human kit to increase the sensitivity. Data were analysed by ANOVA and Tukey`s posthoc test with false-discovery-rate adjustment.Results:The target proteome profiling reliably quantified 92 from 125 labelled proteins. Our follow-up statistical analysis revealed ten plasma proteins, which significantly differed among groups. Notably, we found significantly different plasma levels of paraoxonase/arylesterase 1 (PON1), an esterase with an antioxidant characteristic preventing lipid peroxidation3, between RA patients and controls and between RA patients with persistent remission and D2T RA patients.Conclusion:Using target proteome profiling technique, we demonstrated PON1 as a potential biomarker of D2T RA. However, these results have to be validated on a larger cohort.References:[1]Nagy G, Roodenrijs NMT, Welsing PMJ, et al. EULAR definition of difficult-To-Treat rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract:

Metal hydride systems for hydrogen storage are now commercially manufactured and the demand for them is constantly growing. Metal hydrides have the following features: a unique combination of properties of metal-hydrogen systems; extremely high volumetric densities of hydrogen atoms in the metal matrix; a wide range of operating pressures and temperatures; the selectivity of the hydrogen absorption process; significant changes in the physical properties of the metal when it is saturated with hydrogen; their catalytic activity, etc. The purpose of our research was to study the effect of the temperature of cathodic polarisation on the diffusion-kinetic, thermodynamic, and physical properties of Al-Sm-H alloys.In our study we used electrodes of Al-Sm-H alloys obtained electrochemically using cathodic intercalation from a 0.5 M dimethylformamide solution of samarium salicylate at Еcp = –2.9 V (relative to the non-aqueous silver chloride electrode) and the temperature of 25 °С for 1 hour. We used the electromotive force method to determine the thermodynamic properties: Gibbs free energy (ΔG), entropy (ΔS), and enthalpy (ΔH). The potentiostatic method was used to calculate the diffusionkinetic properties: intercalation constants, adsorption, switching current density, and the diffusion coefficient. The microstructural analysis allowed us to determine the effect of the temperature on the changes in the surface morphology.The study showed that an increase in the temperature results in an increase in ΔG, ΔS, and ΔH, which means that at higher temperatures the degree of the system disorder increases. Nevertheless, the calculated characteristics comply with the existing literature. References 1. Fateev V. N., Alexeeva O. K., Korobtsev S. V.,Seregina E. A., Fateeva T. V., Grigorev A. S., Aliyev A.

Abstract:

Johann Jacob QuandT’S ACADEMIC ACCOUNT: THE LITHUANIAN LANGUAGE SEMINAR AT THE KÖNIGSBERG UNIVERSITY IN 1724 S u m m a r y The article introduces a document found in the Secret State Archives Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation (Germ. Geheimes Staatsarchiv Preußischer Kulturbesitz; GStA PK: I. HAGR, Rep. 7 Preußen, Nr. 187 [1716–1729]) in Berlin that sheds new light on the seminar of the Lithuanian language – the first centre for teaching Lithuanian – that was founded at the Faculty of Theology of the Königsberg University in late 1720s. It is an academic account by Johann Jacob Quandt (1686–1772), the chief preacher of the court and the then dean of the Faculty of Theology of the Königsberg University and the fourth professor of theology in ordinary, who ran the seminar of the Lithuanian language between 1723 and 1727. This account provides insights into the early activities of the seminar that have not been documented in much detail so far. Neither the account nor any of its three appendices – lists of students attending Quandt’s courses – are dated. Based on other documents in the same archive file and the Christian holidays to which the account refers, Quandt’s account has been dated between 28 December 1724 and 11 January 1725, and the data that it contains cover the first half of the 1724–1725 winter semester: October–December of 1724. Quandt’s account shows that during the winter semester of 1724–1725, the seminar of theLithuanian language at the Königsberg University was attended by thirty theological students. Theology and language was taught twice daily between 10 and 11 AM and between 3 and 4 PM . The seminar under Quandt’s management continued to apply the so-called collegium privatissimum, the teaching method of its first supervisor, Heinrich Lysius (1670–1731). The names of the seminar attendees from that period are documented in the second appendix to Quandt’s account titled ‘Beyl. B. Auditores Seminarii Lithvanici’: these were Peter Gottlieb Mielcke (1695–1753), who was in his second year as a teacher, Gottfried Boeckel (?–after 1724), Samuel Boeckel (?–after 1724), Alexander Deutschmann (?–after 1724), Michael Sigismund Engel (1700–1758), Carl Julius Fleischmann (1704–1778), Christophor Daniel Franck?–after 1724), Georg Friedrich Gehrke (?–after 1724), Heinrich Grabau (Grabovius, ?–after 1724), Friedrich Wilhelm Haack (1707–1754), Georg Ernst Klemm (1701–1774), Johann Friedrich Leo (1696–1759), Christophorus (Georg) Liebe (1705–1764), Joachim Friedrich Mey (?–after 1724), Johann Friedrich Mülner (?–after 1724), Jacob Friedrich Naugardt (1694–1751), Friedrich Gottlieb Perbandt (?–after 1724), Adam Heinrich Pilgrim (1702–1757), Heinrich Preuss (?–after 1728), Christoph Rabe (?–after 1724), Heinrich Ernst Rabe (1707/1708–1744), Gottlieb Richter (1707–1775), Johann Richter (1705–1754), Friedrich Rosenberg (?–1727), Adam Friedrich Schimmelpfennig (1699–1763), Ernst Gottfried Schimmelpfennig (1704–1768), Martin Schimmelpfennig (1706–1778), Gottfried Schumacher (1704–1786), Friedrich Sigismund Schuster (1703–after 1732), Johann Trentovius (Trentowski, 1700–1765). Seven of them attended the seminar back in the winter semester of 1723–1724 and were among the first attendees of the seminar of the Lithuanian language under Quandt after it had been reinstated in 1723. Peter Gottlieb Mielcke was the first teacher at the reinstated seminar. During the winter semester of 1724–1725, the age of the theological students attending the seminar of the Lithuanian language at the Königsberg University was between 17 and 30. Most of them were from Prussian Lithuania. After finishing their studies, at least 19 of the attendees were ordained priests and served in Lithuanian parishes. Out of the thirty students who signed the second appendix to Quandt’s account, at least one-half have not been known as attendees of the seminar of the Lithuanian language yet. Even though the Pietist Georg Friedrich Rogall was very critical towards the seminar of the Lithuanian language under the orthodox Lutheran Quandt in his 1725 letter to August Hermann Francke (1663–1727), professor of theology at the Halle University, it is beyond any dispute that the seminar had brought up a new generation of authors of Lithuanian writings. Six of the theological students who attended the seminar in the winter semester of 1724–1725 had become involved in Lithuanistic activity, albeit from the camps of two protestant movements – the orthodox Lutherans and the Pietists. Three of them – Peter Gottlieb Mielcke, Adam Heinrich Pilgrim, and Adam Friedrich Schimmelpfennig – were actively involved in Johann Jacob Quandt’s project that aimed to renew and enhance the repertoire of religious Lithuanian literature. Three others – Johann Richter, Friedrich Wilhelm Haack (by the way, he became involved in Lithuanistic activity with his proof-reading of the 1727 New Testament published by Quandt in Lithuanian), and Martin Schimmelpfennig – later went to Halle, the centre of Pietism, where they became teachers at the seminar of the Lithuanian language that was founded there in 1727 and drafted Lithuanian books. Quandt’s pupils made a significant contribution to the breakthrough in Lithuanian writings between the 1730s and 1760s.

Abstract:

A necessidade de controlar gramíneas exóticas em áreas de restauração ecológica por longos prazos pode acarretar elevados custos econômicos, danos colaterais à regeneração e danos menos óbvios ao ecossistema. Assim, dimensionar estes fatores negativos como parte do esforço para avaliar a razão custo/benefício das técnicas de controle dessas espécies, se faz necessário. Este estudo objetivou avaliar os danos causados por duas técnicas de controle de capim-colonião (Megathyrsus maximus (Jacq.) B. K. Simon & S. W. L. Jacobs), sobre a regeneração preexistente (custos ambientais), em um reflorestamento de 20 anos, e estimar os custos econômicos do emprego dessas técnicas. Trinta parcelas de 10 x 20 m foram distribuídas em três grupos: (T1) controle, (T2) roçagem com roçadeiras costais e (T3) roçagem seguida da aplicação de herbicida à base de glifosato. Foi feito o inventário permanente de todos os indivíduos arbóreos e arbustivos, os quais foram acompanhados durante o período de um ano. Não houve diferença na mortalidade imposta pela roçagem inicial, tampouco na mortalidade imposta exclusivamente pela roçagem ou pelo herbicida no T3. Após um ano, não houve diferenças entre a mortalidade e a riqueza de espécies dos três grupos. Quando os três grupos foram comparados entre si após um ano, para as plantas > 1 m, houve redução da abundância no T1 e redução da riqueza no T3; já para as plantas < 1 m, houve redução da abundância no T2, e redução da abundância e riqueza no T3. Portanto, tais técnicas parecem afetar mais fortemente as plantas < 1 m. O custo econômico final do T2 foi 34,1% maior do que o custo do T3, e mesmo que o custo para se realizar novas intervenções diminua para ambos, há aumento dos custos quando ocorre necessidade de intervenções esparsas em áreas pequenas. Ambas as técnicas são indicadas para controlar o capim-colonião, sendo que o uso de herbicida à base de glifosato deve ser restrito às áreas com baixa cobertura de dossel, por demandarem mais manutenções, e por ser a técnica mais prejudicial à regeneração, já que houve alta mortalidade de indivíduos de pequeno porte (73%) em áreas com densa infestação da gramínea (100%).

Abstract:

The text on Sami shamanism in Caspar Peucer’s Commentarius de praecipuis divinationum generibus (Wittenberg 1560): Critical edition, with translation and commentary. Among the sources dealing with the shamanistic skills of the Sami (formerly Lapponian) population, a certain text by Kaspar Peucer has so far been little known. This man of extreme learning was the son-in-law of Philip Melanchthon and a Professor at the University of Wittenberg. A true polyhistor, well versed in Medicine, Geography, Astrology, Theology, etc., Peucer included in his chef-d’oeuvre on divination an elaborate description of the shamanism of the so-called Pilappii. The present article offers a critical edition of this text, based on the editions of Wittenberg 1560 (A), 1572 (B), 1580 (C), as well as Zerbst 1591 (D) and Frankfurt 1593 (E). In addition to translations into North Sami and Norwegian (see Appendix), some contextualisation is offered, which can be summarised as follows: A similar testimony on shamanism is found in the Historia de gentibus Septentrionalibus by Olaus Magnus (Rome 1555). However, that text is not elaborate enough to prove that Kaspar Peucer has copied his description from him. It is more likely that some student among the considerable number of Swedes, Finns and Norwegians that were immatriculated at Wittenberg University in the years following the Reformation, presented this account to Peucer. Many details in the account make it strikingly similar to Sami folk narratives that have been assembled several centuries later. For example, the description of maritime Sami by Anders Larsen (1870–1949), the Sami book by Johan Turi (published 1910) and Sami songs (joik) that were collected by Jacob Fellman in the 1820’s can be compared with Peucer’s account. Peucer himself, however, categorised the shamanism of the Sami as a form of theomanteia, i.e. a form of magic which he considered to originate not from the true God, but from the Devil.

Abstract:

Abstract Background: The NRG Oncology/NSABP B-52 neoadjuvant clinical trial was conducted to test if the addition of estrogen deprivation (ED) would improve the pCR rate in HER2+/ER+ breast cancer patients (pts) treated with docetaxel, carboplatin, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab (TCHP). A numerical increase in pCR rate was observed with ED (46.1% v 40.9%), but the difference was not statistically significant. We have previously quantitated T cells (CD8, FOXP3), macrophages (CD68), and immune checkpoint proteins (PD-1, PD-L1) with multiplex immunofluorescence in B-52 and shown that CD68 and FOXP3 cells were associated with pCR but not CD8 cells. Our purpose was to determine the associations of FCGR genotypes and immune cells with pCR. Methods: A single baseline, pre-treatment FFFPE tissue section per case (N=181) was used to perform a 7-plex multiplex immunofluorescence procedure using opal fluorophores for staining. The Vectra Pathology System and inForm analysis software (Akoya Biosciences) was used for imaging and quantitation of CD8, CD68, FOXP3, PD-1, and PD-L1 cells in both the tumoral and stromal regions. Stromal data is reported here. Favorable- and unfavorable- FcGγR genotypes for FCGR2A-131H/R and FCGR3A-158V/F alleles were determined via the Sequenom MassARRAY iPLEX platform. Rates of pCR with pts with 1 or 2 favorable alleles was compared to pts who were homozygous for the unfavorable allele. Within each genotype, Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to test the association of markers with pCR and within each treatment. Results: No significant association of FCGR2A and 3A alleles with pCR was detected in the entire B-52 cohort, however, among pts with favorable FCGR genotypes (FCGR2A-131-HH, or H/R, FCGR3A-158- VV, or VF HR) the median value of the % CD68 cells was significantly higher in tumors that achieved pCR v those that did not (p=0.0004, p=0.0006), respectively. In pts who were homozygous for the FCGR2A or FCGR3A unfavorable alleles, there was no significant difference in the median values of the % of CD68 cells between pCR and no-pCR tumors. Further stratification of tumors by treatment showed that pts with an FCGR2A or FCGR3A favorable genotype and whose tumors achieved pCR had a higher median value of CD68 only in the TCHP + ED arm (p=0.0007, p=0.0003), respectively and not in the TCHP arm (p=0.059; p=0.21). Higher levels of PD-L1 were associated with pCR in pts with FCGR3A- favorable genotypes, but higher levels of FOXP3 were associated with pCR regardless of genotype. In contrast to the other cell types, higher PD-1 or CD8 cells showed no association with genotypes. Conclusions: This is an exploratory study examining the potential role of ADCP in HER2+/ER+ breast cancer and supports the notion that ADCP may be one mechanism that promotes the elimination of tumor cells in a subset of pts in the neoadjuvant setting. Tumors that achieve pCR have higher % of CD68 cells, in pts with favorable FCGR2A and 3A genotypes than pts who do not. However, in pts with unfavorable FCGR3A or FCGR2A genotypes there was no difference in the median CD68 levels in pCR v no-pCR tumors. When tumors were further stratified by CD68 levels, FCGR3A genotypes, and treatment, the association of pCR in tumors with high CD68 and FCGR3A favorable genotypes was seen only in the TCHP+ED arm. This may indicate that ED may improve pCR rates in some tumors with more macrophages and favorable genotypes. Macrophages are known to have estrogen receptors, and estrogen has been shown to promote the alternative activation of macrophages, potentially dampening down the immune response. Thus, one could speculate that ED may block the estrogen-induced alternative activation of macrophages, allowing the classically activated macrophages to phagocytize tumor cells.

Abstract:

The challenge for rural communities to provide quality education for early childhood in Indonesia is difficult. National politics, policies, and economic and cultural conditions affect the Early Childhood Education system, and Indonesia is a large multicultural country, so, even the quality of education is difficult. This study aims to look at the quality of children's education in Pandalungan. Using qualitative methods with ethnographic design, data collection techniques using interviews, observation, and documentation. The results showed that educational institutions for children in urban areas can be categorized quite high. However, for early childhood education services in Desa Sukorambi Pandalungan, the quality is quite poor. Research suggestions are the need for follow-up related to social, economic, cultural and environmental factors at the level of Pandalungan community awareness of early childhood education.
