Abstract:
Background: Candidacy criteria for cochlear implantation are expanding to include patients with substantial low-to-mid frequency hearing sensitivity. Postoperative hearing preservation has been achieved in cochlear implant recipients, though with variable outcomes. Previous investigations on postoperative hearing preservation outcomes have evaluated intraoperative procedures. There has been limited review as to whether electric stimulation influences hearing preservation. Purpose: The purpose of this analysis was to evaluate whether charge levels associated with electric stimulation influence postoperative hearing preservation within the first year of listening experience. Research Design: Retrospective analysis of unaided residual hearing and charge levels. Study Sample: Twenty-eight cochlear implant recipients with postoperative residual hearing in the operative ear and at least 12 mo of listening experience with electric-acoustic stimulation (EAS). Data Collection and Analysis: Assessment intervals included initial cochlear implant activation, initial EAS activation, and 3-, 6-, and 12-mo postinitial EAS activation. A masked low-frequency bone-conduction (BC) pure-tone average (PTA) was calculated for all participants at each assessment interval. Charge levels for each electrode were determined using the most comfortable loudness level and pulse width values. Charge levels associated with different regions of the electrode array were compared to the change in the low-frequency BC PTA between two consecutive intervals. Results: Charge levels had little to no association with the postoperative change in low-frequency BC PTA within the first year of listening experience. Conclusions: Electric charge levels do not appear to be reliably related to the subsequent loss of residual low-frequency hearing in the implanted ear within the first year of EAS listening experience.

Abstract:
The influence of the cylindrical exposed electrode diameter on distribution and attenuation of the surface charge in surface dielectric barrier discharges is experimentally investigated using the Pockels effect of the Bi12SiO20 crystal. For the actuator with the smaller exposed electrode diameter, more positive charges accumulate closer to the exposed electrode after positive half periodic discharge, while the quantity of positive charges deposited on the surface in a discharge period at the same distance away from the exposed electrode is smaller. At the same time, the smaller the exposed electrode diameter is, the shorter decay time the positive charge filament needs. Combined with thrust generation of actuators, it can be indicated that a positive residual surface charge closer to the exposed electrode may play a more crucial role in the discharge and consequent thrust than one far away from the exposed electrode does. Also, the effect on the discharge of the positive residual surface charge may be greater than that of the negative residual surface charge. More explorations of the residual surface charge have been done by selectively enhancing the discharge of the actuator with a 10 μm exposed electrode using the pulse-AC dual power supply, drawing the same conclusions.

Abstract:
The formerly introduced theoreticalRvalues [Henn & Schönleber (2013).Acta Cryst.A69, 549–558] are used to develop a relative indicator of systematic errors in model refinements,Rmeta, and applied to published charge-density data. The counter ofRmetagives an absolute measure of systematic errors in percentage points. The residuals (Io−Ic)/σ(Io) of published data are examined. It is found that most published models correspond to residual distributions that are not consistent with the assumption of a Gaussian distribution. The consistency with a Gaussian distribution, however, is important, as the model parameter estimates and their standard uncertainties from a least-squares procedure are valid only under this assumption. The effect of correlations introduced by the structure model is briefly discussed with the help of artificial data and discarded as a source of serious correlations in the examined example. Intensity and significance cutoffs applied in the refinement procedure are found to be mechanisms preventing residual distributions from becoming Gaussian. Model refinements against artificial data yield zero or close-to-zero values forRmetawhen the data are not truncated and small negative values in the case of application of a moderate cutoffIo> 0. It is well known from the literature that the application of cutoff values leads to model bias [Hirshfeld & Rabinovich (1973).Acta Cryst.A29, 510–513].

Abstract:
Abstract Residual lignin preparations were isolated from birch, aspen and Eucalyptus grandis kraft pulp by enzymatic hydrolysis of the pulps with cellulase:hemicellulase mixture. Residual lignin preparations were characterized by investigation of nitrogen content, carbohydrate composition and molecular mass distribution. The use of enzyme with high activity and optimization of enzyme charge resulted in significant decrease in protein contaminants in residual lignin preparations as compared to previously published results. A second order law correlation between enzyme mass charge and nitrogen content in birch residual lignin preparations indicates a strong effect of enzyme charge on the amount of protein contaminants. However, the enzyme charge in the range studied does not appreciably affect either the yields of the residual lignin preparations or percentage and composition of carbohydrates in these preparations. The optimal enzyme charge was highest for Eucalyptus grandis pulp and lowest for birch pulp. It has been suggested that a significant part of the hardwood residual lignin in pulps, especially in E. grandis pulp, consists of low molecular mass lignin fragments bonded to pulp carbohydrates. Higher amount of glucose in E. grandis residual lignin preparation compared to those from birch and aspen implied a higher frequency of lignin-cellulose bonds in eucalypt pulp. Different fractions of birch residual lignin have rather similar molecular mass distribution, which was not affected by the charge of the enzyme. Eucalypt residual lignin preparation had higher molecular mass than birch residual lignin.

Abstract:
The implementation of each function of a battery management system (BMS) depends on sensor data. Efficient sensor fault diagnosis is essential to the durability and safety of battery systems. In this paper, a model-based sensor fault diagnosis scheme and fault-tolerant control strategy for a voltage sensor and a current sensor are proposed with recursive least-square (RLS) and unscented Kalman filter (UKF) algorithms. The fault diagnosis scheme uses an open-circuit voltage residual generator and a capacity residual generator to generate multiple residuals. In view of the different applicable state of charge (SOC) intervals of each residual, different residuals need to be selected according to the different SOC intervals to evaluate whether a sensor fault occurs during residual evaluation. The fault values of the voltage and current sensors are derived in detail based on the open-circuit voltage residual and the capacity residual, respectively, and applied to the fault-tolerant control of battery parameters and state estimations. The performance of the proposed approaches is demonstrated and evaluated by simulations with MATLAB and experimental studies with a commercial lithium-ion battery cell.

Complex (dusty) plasmas are a subject of growing interest. They areionized gases containing charged dust particles.

The growth of dust particles in argon discharges by RF sputtering and the effect of dust particles on theplasma have been investigated from the plasma ignition to the afterglow. It was shown that plasma and discharge parameters are greatly affected by the dust particles. Furthermore, plasma instabilities can be triggered by the presence of the dust particles. These instabilities can be due to dust particle growth or they can be instabilities of a well established dust cloud filling the interelectrode space. When the discharge is switched off, the dust particles act like a sink for the charge carrier and consequently affect the plasma losses. It was shown that the dust particles do keep residual chargeswhich values are greatly affected by the diffusion of the charge carriers and especially the transition from ambipolar to free diffusion.

Die vorliegende Dissertation befasst sich mit der ramanspektroskopischen Charakterisierung von Galliumnitrid (GaN). Der Zusammenhang zwischen Waferkrümmung und mechanischer Restspannungen wird diskutiert. Mit Hilfe konfokaler Mikro-Ramanmessungen wurden Dotierprofile nachgewiesen sowie die Ladungsträgerkonzentration und -beweglichkeit ermittelt. Sämtliche Ramantensorelemente von wz-GaN wurden erstmals durch die Anwendung verschiedener Streugeometrien bestimmt. Eine neu entwickelte Vorwärtsstreuanordnung ermöglichte die Beobachtung von Phonon-Polaritonen. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass von der theoretischen und experimentellen Betrachtung der Ramanstreuintensitäten dieser Elementaranregungen eindeutig das Vorzeichen der Faust-Henry-Koeffizienten von wz-GaN abgeleitet werden kann. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurden alle Faust-Henry-Koeffizienten für GaN experimentell bestimmt
This thesis focuses on special aspects of the Raman spectroscopical characterization of wurtzite gallium nitride (wz-GaN). The correlation between wafer curvature and residual stress is discussed. By means of confocal micro-Raman measurements doping profiles were detected as well as the density and mobility of free charge carriers were deduced. All Raman scattering cross sections of wz-GaN were determined the first time using different scattering configurations. A novel method for near-forward scattering was developed in order to observe phonon polaritons with pure symmetry. It is shown that the theoretical and experimental consideration of the Raman scattering efficiency of these elementary excitations allow for determining the sign of the Faust-Henry coefficients of wz-GaN unambiguously. The Faust-Henry coefficients of GaN were deduced from Raman scattering efficiencies of corresponding TO and LO phonons

Abstract:
The Electrical Functional Stimulation (EFS) allows the direct connection between man and machine through electrical signals. The last years growth in EFS is possible because of the new technological resources that make it feasible. Restoring someone s vision or hearing, even parcially, is one among several contribution that EFS may contribute to human s well-being. However the interface between the electrical circuits and the tissue is sensitive to several factors. Among several effects that may damage the tissue and electrode in EFS we can find those caused by the electrical stimuli, this may harm the application. This work presents contributions regarding electrical circuits topologies for safety stimuli in EFS. It is essential to ensure proper electrical charge balance and a small residual voltage on the tissue-electrode interface. For each of these problems one proposal is presented, both share circuit blocks. The blocks to control intensity and polarity of stimuli are designed to avoid the integration of high voltage devices. The current mode stimuli is generated using an ultra-low power charge redistribution Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) for stimulus intensity definition. This DAC architecture even simplifies the feedback mechanism that is obtained directly from measurement circuit. The technic that uses only low voltage devices to measure electrodes current is presented, it is suitable to implement the charge balance control in an integrated circuit. This measurement technique is insensitive to capacitors mismatch and to the current measurement absolute ratio. That control is possible through the a simplified feedback path that joins the controller and the measurement in an efficient way acting directly in the DAC. The proposed residual voltage control technique requires only passive elements to be added to the circuit, that suggest a lower power consumption. The charge redistribution DAC keeps residual voltage information stored, in order to compensate it in next stimulation cycles. The stimulation cycle polarity is explored, alternated cathodic and anodic-first cycles are used in order to reduce the charge imbalance and residual voltage. Both proposals are presented and validated with electrical simulation, known metrics are used and the performance is equivalent to state-of-art in literature.
A estimulação elétrica funcional(EFS) faz a interface direta entre o homem e a máquina, por meio de sinais elétricos. A viabilidade advinda de novas tecnologias justifica o seu crescimento nos últimos anos. Restaurar a visão ou a audição, mesmo que parcialmente, são duas das inúmeras contribuições que pode proporcionar para o bem estar do ser humano. No entanto, a interface entre o circuito elétrico e o tecido é sensível a diversos fatores. Entre os diversos fenômenos que podem ocasionar danos ao tecido e ao eletrodo na interface de EFS estão os causados pelo estímulo elétrico usado, e isso pode inviabilizar a aplicação. Neste sentido, este trabalho apresenta contribuições relacionadas à topologia de circuitos para segurança na geração do estímulo em EFS. O correto balanceamento de carga elétrica e a diminuição da tensão residual, na interface entre o tecido e o eletrodo, são indispensáveis. Uma técnica é propostas para a solução de cada um desses problemas, ambas compartilham blocos de circuito comuns. O controle da intensidade e da polaridade de estimulação são concebidos para evitar a necessidade de dispositivos de alta tensão. A geração de estímulos em modo corrente utiliza um Conversor Digital para Analógico (DAC) do tipo redistribuição de carga de ultra baixo consumo de energia para o controle da intensidade dos pulsos. Esse conversor ainda simplifica a realimentação, que é derivada diretamente do circuito de medição. Como solução para viabilizar a implementação em circuito integrado de controle do desbalanço de carga, uma técnica de medição usando somente dispositivos de baixa tensão é apresentada. Essa técnica é tolerante ao descasamento entre capacitores utilizados e à variação no ganho do circuito de medição de corrente. O controle é possível por meio de um laço de realimentação simplificado, que une medição e controle de forma eficiente e atua direto no DAC. A técnica proposta para controle da tensão residual nos eletrodos requer somente adição de elementos passivos ao circuito, sugerindo a redução do consumo de energia. O DAC tipo redistribuição de carga é usado para armazenar a informação da tensão residual e a compensação no ciclo seguinte. A fase dos ciclos de estimulaçãotambém é explorada, ciclos com fases alternadas são usados visando redução no desbalanço de carga e tensão residual. As duas propostas são apresentadas e validadas por meio da simulação elétrica, métricas conhecidas são utilizadas e o desempenho observado é equivalente ao estado da arte.

Abstract:
For a long time, there has been a need and an ambition to better understand the behavior of integrated systems by considering the whole urban water cycle, including wastewater transportation, wastewater treatment and the receiving water. On the other hand, fragmented environmental policies on wastewater sanitation, global change, and emerging contaminants are increasingly threatening freshwater ecosystems and human health. Within this context, this thesis embeds a series of research studies aiming to improve our comprehension of the functioning of urban wastewater systems (UWWS), considering both natural and artificial elements, and with a special emphasis on the occurrence of global change and on the fate of emerging contaminants. In the thesis, an integrated model for a UWWS in NE Iberian Peninsula has been developed and calibrated using data from an intensive and integrated survey, not only combining early developed mathematical models for the different sub-processes, but also verifying the model parameters with full-scale and dynamical measurements. More specifically, the work developed in this thesis was divided into three parts. First, we investigated how an UWWS perform together in the removal of conventional contaminants and evaluated the impact of future global change scenarios. Second, we investigated the occurrence and fate of pharmaceuticals and their transformation products in the UWWS. Finally, and as a continuation of the second work, we assessed the influence of the sampling strategy when estimating the loads and attenuation of emerging contaminants in UWWS under different scenarios differing from sampling strategies, consumption, and degradability of the compound under analysis. Overall, this thesis highlights the need for integrated approaches to better understand the performance of WWTPs and their receiving rivers, against the increase of micro-contaminants occurrence and the effects of global change
La necessitat i ambició per entendre millor el comportament dels sistemes de sanejament d’aigües residuals de forma integrada és una de les prioritats en la gestió de l’aigua, des de el transport, tractamet i descarrega als seus medis receptors. Per altra banda, les actual polítiques segmentades en la gestió dels sistemes de sanejament d'aigües residuals urbanes, el canvi global i l'ocurrència de contaminants emergents en els mitjans receptors, amenacen cada vegada més els ecosistemes d'aigua dolça i salut humana.En aquest sentit, aquesta tesi integra una sèrie d'estudis d'investigació que apunten a millorar la nostra comprensió en el funcionament dels sistemes d'aigües residuals urbanes (UWWS), considerant el conjunt d'elements naturals i artificials, i amb un èmfasi especial en els canvis globals i ocurrència dels contaminants emergents. Concretamemt. en aquesta tesi s'ha desenvolupat i calibrat un model integrat per a un UWWS al NE de la Península Ibèrica, utilitzant dades recollides durant intensa campanya integrada de monitorització, no només combinant avançats models per els diferents sub-processos, sinó també verificant els paràmetres de modelització amd dades dinàmiques i a escala. Més específicament, el treball desenvolupat en aquesta tesi s’estructura en tres parts. Primer, investiguem com funcionen els UWWS en l'eliminació de contaminants convencionals i avaluem l'impacte dels futurs escenaris de canvi global. Segon, avaluem l'ocurrència i la destinació dels productes farmacèutics i els seus productes de transformació en el UWWS.

Abstract:
The IFMIF accelerator will accelerate two 125mA continuous wave (cw) deuteron beams up to 40MeV and blasts them onto a liquid lithium target to release neutrons. The very high beam power of 10MW pose unprecedented challenges for the accelerator development. Therefore, it was decided to build a prototype accelerator, the Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator (LIPAc), which has the very same beam characteristic, but is limited to 9 MeV only. In the frame of this thesis, diagnostics devices for IFMIF and LIPAc have been developed. The diagnostics devices consist of beam loss monitors and interceptive as well as non-interceptive profile monitors. For the beam loss monitoring system, ionization chambers and diamond detectors have been tested and calibrated for neutron and γ radiation in the energy range expected at LIPAc. During these tests, for the first time, diamond detectors were successfully operated at cryogenic temperatures. For the interceptive profilers, thermal simulations were performed to ensure safe operation. For the non-interceptive profiler, Ionization Profile Monitors (IPMs) were developed. A prototype has been built and tested, and based on the findings, the final IPMs were designed and built. To overcome the space charge of accelerator beam, a software algorithm was written to reconstruct the actual beam profile.

Abstract:
This chapter explains how a number of general issues arise in connection with the enforcement of true security interests that will be taken before particular enforcement issues are dealt with under the relevant head. True security interests consist of the four nominate types of security recognized in English law, namely, the three consensual securities of pledge, mortgage, and charge, together with the non-consensual lien. The obligation of a secured party to account for any surplus obtained is implicit in the nature of security. In the case of a pledge, this is consistent with the pledgor’s residual property rights. This obligation is also consistent in the case of mortgages. Charges and mortgages may be taken together, given that they are assimilated in drafting practice and in judicial treatment as alike in recognizing the borrower’s equity of redemption.

Abstract:
AbstractSoil material undergoes a volumetric change when deformed, and the change continues until the material reaches its critical state. In granular soils, the critical state is one that exhibits the least frictional resistance, but in clayey materials, the frictional resistance decreases further upon shearing due to particle reorientation in the plane of failure, and the material volume attains a stable or steady state only after a large amount of shear deformation, which depending on the material type varies from a few to tens of centimeters. This state of shear deformation is generally known as the residual state. This article focuses on residual-state creep shear tests on common clayey materials for the purpose of experimentally simulating the landslide creep and understanding the displacement behavior of large-scale creeping landslides. As a general understanding, the deep-seated creeping landslides displace as a result of residual-state shearing of clayey material in the slip surface. So, a modified bishop-type torsional ring shear machine was developed for studying the residual-state shear creep behavior of clayey soils. In the ring shear tests, the material is first sheared under a strain-controlled pattern, and after the sample reaches its residual state of shear, different sets of constant shear loads are applied until the sample fails again and again. The test results reveal that at the residual state of shear, the creep behavior is exhibited only after a load equivalent to the residual frictional resistance of the material is applied. Moreover, it was understood that the displacement required for the beginning of the tertiary stage of creep of particular soil material, i.e., the early stage of creep failure is the same for all sets of creep loads.

Abstract:
AbstractPeri-urban is an intermediate land. On the one hand, its hybrid nature makes it particularly vulnerable to speculation, indiscriminate use of soil resources, erosion of agricultural residues, and so on; on the other hand, it is difficult to control through planning instruments and policies. Starting from this background, the chapter will investigate the territories of the large Campania Plain, in the South of Italy, between Naples and Caserta. Until the middle of twentieth century, this territory was known as Campania Felix due to its agricultural vocation. Subsequently, a series of development policies and a misinterpreted concept of valorization and modernization of the territory have changed its characteristics and identity, giving many parts of it to disorder: industrial settlements, plants, logistics, landfills, and large infrastructures that clash with the residential, agricultural, or residual areas and in-between natural ones. In this context, the chapter summarizes the first results of a research project that aims to rethink the role of the large Industrial Development Areas, established in the peri-urban contexts of the plain in the province of Caserta, in Italy.

Abstract:
Abstract Based on the algorithm of Coupled Eulerian Lagrangian (CEL), the processes of the generation of shaped charge jet (SCJ) and the penetration to the inner and outer ship side plates were simulated by the finite element analysis (FEA). Meanwhile, the residual velocity of SCJ after penetrating the side plate could be obtained. In order to compare with the FEA results, the damage caused by the SCJ to the inner and outer plates of the ship side was experimentally studied, and the residual velocity was measured successfully. The comparison demonstrated that the values of the residual velocity obtained by simulation well agreed with the experimental results. The simulation indicated that the velocity of the SCJ decreased after penetrating the inner plate. Moreover, the influences of the ship side structural details, including the inner plate thickness, the distance between the inner and outer plates and the layout of the inner plate, on its protective ability against SCJ were investigated. The research indicated that increasing the thickness of inner plate and the spacing between inner and outer plates can effectively reduce SCJ residual velocity. Replacement of the inner plate with a multilayer plate could obviously reduce the SCJ residual velocity. The simulation method could describe the process of SCJ generation and penetration accurately, and the research results could provide references for the protective structural design of the ship hull attacked by SCJ.

Full text
Abstract:
This study was motivated by the need to develop new means and approaches to the design of future, environmentally-safe, insecticides. Utilization of anti-insect selective toxins from scorpion venoms and clarification of the molecular basis for their specificity, are a major focus in this project and may have an applicative value. Our study concentrated on the highly insecticidal toxin, LqhaIT, and was devoted to: (I) Characterization of the neuropharmacological and electrophysiological features of this toxin. (II) Establishment of a genetic system for studying structure/activity relationships of the toxin. (III) Analysis of the insecticidal efficacy of an entomopathogenic baculovirus engineered and expressing LqhaIT. The results obtained in this project suggest that: 1) The receptor binding site of LqhaIT on insect sodium channels differs most likely from its analogous receptor site 3 on vertebrate sodium channels. 2) The effects of LqhaIT are presynaptic. Hyperexcitation at the neuromuscular results from dramatic slowing of sodium channel inactivation and enhanced peak sodium currents causes by LqhaIT. 3) The putative toxic surface of LqhaIT involves aromatic and charged amino acid residues located around the C-terminal region and five-residue-turn of the toxin (unpublished). 4) The anti-insect/anti-mammalian toxicity ratio can be altered by site-directed mutagenesis (publication 8). This effect was partly shown at the level of sodium channel function. 5) The insecticidal efficacy of AcNPV baculovirus increased to a great extent when infection was accompanied by expression of LqhaIT (publication 5).

Full text
Abstract:
The northern coastal plain of Bering Land Bridge National Preserve (BELA) lost lakes at an alarming rate over the first two decades of this century, including four lakes over 100 ha in size in 2018-2019 alone. To understand the effects of these lake drainages, we sampled vegetation of these lakes in 2019 (a reconnaissance visit) and 2021 (for the installation of permanent vegetation monitoring plots). We used these data to summarize the changes that occurred in the first three years after drainage, and to create vegetation maps from 3-m resolution satellite images coinciding with the visit dates. We used time series of these satellite images to study the rate of drainage and vegetation colonization on the lakes. We analyzed our existing data from older drained lake basins (estimated to be more than 200 years since drainage) and reviewed the literature on vegetation change in drained lakes to understand the vegetation changes that are likely in the future. Finally, we used a model of lake occupancy by loons developed by Mizel et al. (2021) to predict the effect of the 2018-2019 lake drainages on available loon habitat, using both our detailed maps of the four sampled drained lakes, and also data on all drained lakes over most of northern BELA derived from Landsat satellite images. Our results show that the four study lakes drained early in the summer, before the end of June, in 2018 (3 lakes) and 2019 (one lake). A combination of record warm weather and heavy snowfall made 2018 and 2019 especially favorable for lake drainage: thaw subsidence probably enlarged existing drainage outlet channels from the lakes, and large amounts of spring snowmelt runoff deepened the outlet channels by thermal erosion (the combination of thaw and erosion). Drainage exposed moist loamy sediment on the lake bottoms that was rapidly colonized by plants. Substantial vegetation cover developed by late summer in the same year as lake drainage in one lake, in the first post-drainage summer in a second lake, and during the 2nd year after drainage in the remaining two lakes. The first vegetation communities to develop consisted of just one or two dominant species, notably Eleocharis acicularis (spike rush), Equisetum arvense (horsetail), and/or Tephroseris palustris (mastodon flower). Other important early species were Arctophila fulva (pendant grass) and Rorippa palustris (yellow cress). By year 3, the communities had become more diverse, with significant cover by taller wetland graminoid species, including A. fulva, Eriophorum scheuchzeri, and Carex aquatilis. Frozen soil was observed in most locations on the lakes in July of 2021, suggesting that permafrost was forming on the lake bottoms. Comparison of the three-year trends in vegetation change with data from older lake basins suggest that ultimately most lake basins will develop wet tundra communities dominated by Carex aquatilis and mosses, with various low shrub species on acid, peat-dominated soils and permafrost; however, this process should take several centuries. The loon habitat model suggests that drainage essentially eliminated the potential habitat for Yellow-billed Loons on the four study lakes, because the residuals ponds were too small for Yellow-billed Loons to take flight from. A total of 17 lakes drained in northern BELA in 2018-2019. As a result, the potential Yellow-billed Loon nesting habitat in northern BELA probably decreased by approximately 2%, while habitat for Pacific Loons decreased less, by about 0.6%. Habitat for the more abundant Red-throated Loons probably increased slightly as a result of lake drainage, because of their ability to use the small residual ponds created by lake drainage.

Abstract:
Use of Lqh2 mutants (produced at TAU) and rNav1.2a mutants (produced at the US side) for identifying receptor site-3: Based on the fact that binding of scorpion alpha-toxins is voltage-dependent, which suggests toxin binding at the mobile voltage-sensing region, we analyzed which of the toxin bioactive domains (Core-domain or NC-domain) interacts with the DIV Gating-module of rNav1.2a. This analysis was based on the assumption that the dissociation of toxin mutants upon depolarization would vary from that of the unmodified toxin should the substitutions affect a site of interaction with the channel Gating-module. Using a series of toxin mutants (mutations at both domains) and two channel mutants that were shown to reduce the sensitivity to scorpion alpha-toxins, and by comparison of depolarization-driven dissociation of Lqh2 derivatives off their binding site at rNav1.2a mutant channels we found that the toxin Core-domain interacts with the Gating-module of DIV. Details of the experiments and results appear in Guret al (2011). Mapping receptor site 3 at Nav1.2a by extensive channel mutagenesis (Seattle): Since previous studies with photoaffinity labeling and antibody mapping implicated domains I and IV in scorpion alpha-toxin binding, Nav1.2 channel mutants containing substitutions at these extracellular regions were expressed and tested for receptor function by whole-cell voltage clamp. Of a large number of channel mutants, T1560A, F1610A, and E1613A in domain IV had ~5.9-, ~10.7-, and ~3.9-fold lower affinities for the scorpion toxin Lqh2, respectively, and mutant E1613R had 73-fold lower affinity. Toxin dissociation was accelerated by depolarization for both wild-type and mutants, and the rates of dissociation were also increased by mutations T1560A, F1610A and E1613A. In contrast, association rates for these three mutant channels at negative membrane potentials were not significantly changed and were not voltage-dependent. These results indicated that Thr1560 in the S1-S2 loop, Phe1610 in the S3 segment, and Glu1613 in the S3-S4 loop in domain IV participate in toxin binding. T393A in the SS2-S6 loop in domain I also showed a ~3.4-fold lower affinity for Lqh2, indicating that this extracellular loop may form a secondary component of the toxin binding site. Analysis with the Rosetta-Membrane algorithm revealed a three-dimensional model of Lqh2 binding to the voltage sensor in a resting state. In this model, amino acid residues in an extracellular cleft formed by the S1-S2 and S3-S4 loops in domain IV that are important for toxin binding interact with amino acid residues on two faces of the wedge-shaped Lqh2 molecule that are important for toxin action. The conserved gating charges in the S4 transmembrane segment are in an inward position and likely form ion pairs with negatively charged amino acid residues in the S2 and S3 segments (Wang et al 2011; Gurevitz 2012; Gurevitzet al 2013).

Abstract:
The antibotulinal baceriocins, propionicin PLG-1 and jenseniin G., were the first to be identified, purified and characterized for the dairy propionibaceria and are produced by Propionibacterium thoenii P127 and P. thoenii/jensenii P126, respectively. Objectives of this project were to (a) produce polyclonal antibodies for detection, comparison and monitoring of propionicin PLG-1; (b) identify, clone and characterize the propionicin PLG-1 (plg-1) and jenseniin G (jnG) genes; and (3) develop gene transfer systems for dairy propionibacteria using them as models. Polyclonal antibodies for detection, comparison and monitoring of propionicin PLG-1 were produced in rabbits. Anti-PLG-1 antiserum had high titers (256,000 to 512,000), neutralized PLG-1 activity, and detected purified PLG-1 at 0.10 mg/ml (indirect ELISA) and 0.033 mg/ml (competitive indirect ELISA). Thirty-nine of 158 strains (most P. thoenii or P. jensenii) yielded cross-reacting material; four strains of P. thoenii, including two previously unidentified bacteriocin producers, showed biological activity. Eight propionicin-negative P127 mutants produced neither ELISA response nor biological activity. Western blot analyses of supernates detected a PLG-1 band at 9.1 kDa and two additional protein bands with apparent molecular weights of 16.2 and 27.5 kDa. PLG-1 polyclonal antibodies were used for detection of jenseniin G. PLG-1 antibodies neutralized jenseniin G activity and detected a jenseniin G-sized, 3.5 kDa peptide. Preliminary immunoprecipitation of crude preparations with PLG-1 antibodies yielded three proteins including an active 3-4 kDa band. Propionicin PLG-1 antibodies were used to screen a P. jensenii/thoenii P126 genomic expression library. Complete sequencing of a cloned insert identified by PLG-1 antibodies revealed a putative response regulator, transport protein, transmembrane protein and an open reading frame (ORF) potentially encoding jenseniin G. PCR cloning of the putative plg-1 gene yielded a 1,100 bp fragment with a 355 bp ORF encoding 118 amino acids; the deduced N-terminus was similar to the known PLG-1 N-terminus. The 118 amino acid sequence deduced from the putative plg-1 gene was larger than PLG-1 possibly due to post-translational processing. The product of the putative plg-1 gene had a calculated molecular weight of 12.8 kDa, a pI of 11.7, 14 negatively charged residues (Asp+Glu) and 24 positively charged residues (Arg+Lys). The putative plg-1 gene was expressed as an inducible fusion protein with a six-histidine residue tag. Metal affinity chromatography of the fused protein yielded a homogeneous product. The fused purified protein sequence matched the deduced putative plg-1 gene sequence. The data preliminarily suggest that both the plg-1 and jnG genes have been identified and cloned. Demonstrating that antibodies can be produced for propionicin PLG-1 and that those antibodies can be used to detect, monitor and compare activity throughout growth and purification was an important step towards monitoring PLG-1 concentrations in food systems. The unexpected but fortunate cross-reactivity of PLG-1 antibodies with jenseniin G led to selective recovery of jenseniin G by immunoprecipitation. Further refinement of this separation technique could lead to powerful affinity methods for rapid, specific separation of the two bacteriocins and thus facilitate their availability for industrial or pharmaceutical uses. Preliminary identification of genes encoding the two dairy propionibacteria bacteriocins must be confirmed; further analysis will provide means for understanding how they work, for increasing their production and for manipulating the peptides to increase their target species. Further development of these systems would contribute to basic knowledge about dairy propionibacteria and has potential for improving other industrially significant characteristics.

Abstract:
The Houston Ship Channel (HSC) is one of the busiest deep-draft navigation channels in the United States and must be able to accommodate increasing vessel sizes. The US Army Engineer District, Galveston (SWG), requested the Engineer Research and Development Center, Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory, perform hydrodynamic and sediment modeling of proposed modifications in Galveston and Trinity Bays and along the HSC. The modeling results are necessary to provide data for hydrodynamic, salinity, and sediment transport analysis. SWG provided three project alternatives that include closing Rollover Pass, Bay Aquatic Beneficial Use System cells, Bird Islands, and HSC modifications. These alternatives and a Base (existing condition) will be simulated for present (2029) and future (2079) conditions. The results of these alternatives/conditions as compared to the Base are presented in this report. The model shows that the mean salinity varies by 2–3 ppt due to the HSC channel modifications and by approximately 5 ppt in the area of East Bay due to the closure of Rollover Pass. The tidal prism increases by 2.5% to 5% in the alternatives. The tidal amplitudes change by less than 0.01 m. The residual velocity vectors vary in and around areas where project modifications are made.
