Abstract:
Reciprocal velocity obstacles (RVO) is a method used for multiagents navigation that enables collision and oscillation-free avoidance against other mobile agents. Despite its ability in collision avoidance between agents, RVO has a hard time dealing with static obstacle avoidance. This problem has led to a tendency to use RVO only for agents avoidance and use other methods to handle static obstacles avoidance. In this paper, we present our new approach for interaction between mobile agents against static obstacles in the RVO based collision avoidance. We propose a concept called inert agents that interact as static obstacles. This inert agent is stand firm as static obstacles should be, while the inert agent also able to satisfy reactive collision avoidance nature of RVO to produce better avoidance result. We conduct an experiment to compare the performance of avoidance in a certain scenario. Our method shows better results when compared with generic static obstacles.

Abstract:
I introduce a stability notion, dynamic stability, for two‐sided dynamic matching markets where (i) matching opportunities arrive over time, (ii) matching is one‐to‐one, and (iii) matching is irreversible. The definition addresses two conceptual issues. First, since not all agents are available to match at the same time, one must establish which agents are allowed to form blocking pairs. Second, dynamic matching markets exhibit a form of externality that is not present in static markets: an agent's payoff from remaining unmatched cannot be defined independently of other contemporaneous agents' outcomes. Dynamically stable matchings always exist. Dynamic stability is a necessary condition to ensure timely participation in the economy by ensuring that agents do not strategically delay the time at which they are available to match.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the study of corruption in the previously studied static model of the combination of general and private interests (SOCHI model) of several agents. In this article, special attention is paid to the study of economic corruption. To do this, an intermediate level is introduced into the previously considered two-level system between the Principal and the Agents - a supervisor who represents the interests of the Principal, but in exchange for a bribe can improve the position of the agent at the expense of the Principal. The latter sets for each agent, himself and the supervisor a share of participation in the total income. The supervisor can increase the agent's share in exchange for a bribe, reducing the Principal's share. This article examines a three-level hierarchical system in which the supervisor uses an economic corruption mechanism, in the study of which two approaches are used: descriptive and optimization. The descriptive approach assumes that the functions of bribery in question are known. The optimization approach involves the use of Hermeyer's theorem. The influence of economic corruption on systemic consistency in the SOCHI model is investigated: it is proved that economic corruption can theoretically increase consistency. But this requires the fulfillment of many conditions, the joint fulfillment of which is unlikely. It is proved that economic corruption is always beneficial for agents, and also for the supervisor. The only way to combat this kind of corruption has been found.

Abstract:
We study path-independent choice rules applied to a matching context. We use a classic representation of these choice rules to introduce a powerful technique for matching theory. Using this technique, we provide a deferred acceptance algorithm for many-to-many matching markets with contracts and study its properties. Next, we obtain a compelling comparative static result: if one agent's choice expands, the remaining agents on her side of the market are made worse off, while agents on the other side of the market are made better off. Finally, we establish several results related to path-independent choice rules. (JEL C78, D11, D71, D86)

According to the characteristics of GWSN, a Multi-Agent cooperation system structure of GWSN is put forward based on the complexity and changeableness of water area and biologic growth. In this structure, the Agent is divided into mobile Agent and static Agent. Static Agent is responsible for collecting data, and mobile Agent is responsible for move between clusters. Each cluster cooperation agents are responsible for data transmission and the data fusion process is divided into four levels. It manages greenhouse wireless measurement and control system by distributed agents’ information timely interaction and cooperation.

Abstract:
Formal verification of distributed systems is essential, especially in mission-critical systems that cannot be restarted. Such are space systems in which satellites read sensor values and autonomously make actuator decisions based on them, and ground services only set general patterns of behavior. The verification formalism should correspond to the essential characteristics of a distributed system, such as node autonomy and asynchrony of actions and communication, as in our Integrated Model of Distributed Systems (IMDS). It is also crucial that the formalism allows for finding partial deadlocks and checking partial termination, where only a subset of the system nodes is involved while the rest can perform their own tasks at the same time. This article presents the idea of using monitoring agents—observers prepared in the IMDS formalism. Observers check the state of individual system components by polling, allowing verification without knowing the global state of the system. Such an agent is an ideal prototype of a runtime observer that checks if the actual operation of the system corresponds to a design that has previously been proven correct.

Full text
Abstract:
Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) are a family of proteins involved in many different aspects of cell signaling. To date, eight different human PI3K isoforms have been identified, and distinct roles are beginning to emerge for each family member. Statins, HMG co-A reductase inhibitors used clinically to lower LDL cholesterol levels, also act through the PI3K signaling pathway to regulate cholesterol independent of their lipid-lowering effects. In an effort to discover the role of pl 10f3 in mediating non-lipid lowering effects of pravastatin, a mutant of p110(3 was overexpressed in human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAEC) to form a dominant negative model (p110(3 DN). Silence si-RNA as an alterative tool was also optimized to diminish p110(3 protein expression successfully. HepG2 3: RE was used to monitor statins function by assaying luciferase expression. Results from these studies will determine the contribution of p110f3 in mediating selective cellular responses to statin.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Background Statins are drugs of known efficacy in the treatment of hypercholesterolaemia. However, statin-induced myopathy, an adverse effect of statins in up to 15% of its users, has warranted a reduction in the prescription dose or discontinuation of the drug. The exact mechanism of statin-induced myopathy is unknown, but the potential of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) as treatment has been recognized due to decreased human plasma CoQ10 levels found after statin use and the concomitant role of CoQ10 in muscle function. Objectives This systematic review assessed the effect of CoQ10 supplementation on: the severity of statin-induced myopathic symptoms, levels of plasma creatine kinase, intramuscular and plasma CoQ10, as well as whether any adverse effects of CoQ10 supplementation such as abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting or headaches were experienced. Search methods Two searches for studies were conducted in The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (inception to March 2011 and inception to November 2011), MEDLINE (inception to March 2011 and inception to November 2011), Web of Science (inception to March 2011 and inception to November 2011), Science Direct (inception to March 2011 and inception to February 2012), Wiley Online Library (inception to March 2011 and inception to February 2012), Springerlink (inception to April 2011 and inception to February 2012), EBSCOhost [Academic Search Premier and CAB abstracts (inception to March 2011 and inception to February 2012), CINAHL (inception to March 2011 and inception to November 2011)], Scopus (inception to March 2011 and inception to November 2011) and Google Scholar (inception to March 2011 and inception to February 2012). Reference lists of articles were hand searched for relevant clinical trials. Only trials with a full text were included in the review. Selection criteria Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) were included with adult participants (mean of 18-64.99 years) of all race/ethnic groups and gender on statin therapy with reported myopathic symptoms from an unknown cause. The intervention was in the form of a pure oral supplement of CoQ10 irrespective of dose, duration and frequency, and the control in the form of a placebo, a similar antioxidant, or no intervention. Outcomes included the severity of myopathic symptoms, levels of plasma creatine kinase (U/L), intramuscular CoQ10 (μmol/kg) and plasma CoQ10 (μmol/L), as well as adverse effects of CoQ10. Data collection and analysis The principle investigator and one independent reviewer selected the studies, extracted data and assessed for risk of bias using the Cochrane Collaboration‘s tool for assessing risk of bias. Authors of relevant clinical trials were contacted for additional information. Results Two RCTs were included in the review, totaling 76 participants. A meta-analysis could not be performed, thus the review is narrative. There were an insufficient number of RCTs to confirm whether routine supplementation of CoQ10 improves statin-induced myopathic symptoms. Conclusions More and larger RCTs are required to determine the efficacy of CoQ10 supplementation in statin-induced myopathy. Consensus needs to be reached regarding the definition and measurement instrument/s of myopathy so that results of future studies can easily be compared and synthesized.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Agtergrond Statiene is medikasie bekend vir die effektiewe behandeling van hipercholesterolemie. Statien-geïnduseerde miopatie is egter 'n newe-effek wat voorkom in tot 15% van gebruikers, wat 'n vermindering in die voorgeskrewe dosis of staking van die medikasie tot gevolg het. Die presiese meganisme van statien-geïnduseerde miopatie is onbekend, maar die potensiaal van Koënsiem Q10 (CoQ10) is geïdentifiseer as 'n moontlike behandeling aangesien menslike plasma CoQ10 vlakke verlaag na die gebruik van statiene en as gevolg van die rol van CoQ10 in spierfunksie. Doelwitte Hierdie sistematiese literatuuroorsig het die effek van CoQ10 supplementasie bepaal op: die graad van statien-geïnduseerde miopatiese simptome, plasma kreatien kinase vlakke, intra-muskulêre en plasma CoQ10 vlakke, asook die teenwoordigheid van enige newe-effekte van CoQ10 supplementasie soos abdominale pyn, naarheid en braking of hoofpyne. Soektogstrategie Twee soektogte vir studies is uitgevoer in The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (ontstaan tot Maart 2011 en ontstaan tot November 2011), MEDLINE (ontstaan tot Maart 2011 en ontstaan tot November 2011), Web of Science (ontstaan tot Maart 2011 en ontstaan tot November 2011), Science Direct (ontstaan tot Maart 2011 en ontstaan tot Februarie 2012), Wiley Online Library (ontstaan tot Maart 2011 en ontstaan tot Februarie 2012), Springerlink (ontstaan tot April 2011 en ontstaan tot Februarie 2012), EBSCOhost [Academic Search Premier en CAB abstracts (ontstaan tot Maart 2011 en ontstaan tot Februarie 2012), CINAHL (ontstaan tot Maart 2011 en ontstaan tot November 2011)], Scopus (ontstaan tot Maart 2011 en ontstaan tot November 2011) en Google Scholar (ontstaan tot Maart 2011 en ontstaan tot Februarie 2012). Verwysingslyste van artikels is ook met die hand nagegaan vir relevante kliniese proewe. Slegs kliniese proewe waarvan die volteks beskikbaar was, is ingesluit in die oorsig. Seleksiekriteria Ewekansige gekontroleerde proewe (EGP) is ingesluit met volwasse deelnemers (gemiddeld 18-64.99 jaar) van alle rasse/etniese groepe en geslag op statien-terapie met gerapporteerde miopatie simptome van onbekende oorsaak. Die intervensie was 'n suiwer orale supplement van CoQ10 ongeag die dosis, duurte en frekwensie, en die kontrole 'n plasebo, soortgelyke antioksidant, of geen intervensie. Uitkomste het ingesluit: die graad van miopatie simptome, vlakke van plasma kreatien kinase (U/L), intra-muskulêre CoQ10 (μmol/kg) en plasma CoQ10 (μmol/L), sowel as newe-effekte van CoQ10. Dataversameling en -analise Die hoof ondersoeker en een onafhanklike hersiener het die seleksie van studies en data-ekstraksie onderneem en die risiko vir sydigheid geassesseer deur gebruik te maak van die Cochrane Collaboration’s tool for assessing risk of bias. Outeurs van relevante kliniese proewe is geraadpleeg vir addisionele inligting Resultate Twee EGP is ingesluit in die oorsig met 'n totaal van 76 deelnemers. 'n Meta-analise kon nie uitgevoer word nie, dus is die oorsig beskrywend. Daar was te min EGP om te bewys dat roetine supplementasie van CoQ10 statien-geïnduseerde miopatiese simptome verbeter. Gevolgtrekkings Meer en groter EGP is nodig om die effektiwiteit van CoQ10 supplementasie in statien-geïnduseerde miopatie te bepaal. Konsensus moet bereik word ten opsigte van die definisie en metingsinstrument/e van miopatie sodat die resultate van toekomstige studies makliker vergelyk en verwerk kan word.

Abstract:
[Truncated abstract] The metabolic syndrome is characterized by cardiovascular risk factors including dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, visceral obesity, hypertension and diabetes. The dyslipidemia of the metabolic syndrome includes elevated plasma triglyceride and apolipoprotein (apo) B levels, accumulation of small, dense low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles and low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentration. However, the precise mechanisms for this dyslipoproteinemia, specifically low plasma HDL cholesterol, are not well understood. This thesis therefore, focuses on HDL, its structure, function and metabolism. However, lipoprotein metabolism is a complex interconnected system, which includes forward and reverse cholesterol transport pathways. Hence, this thesis also examines and discusses the metabolism of apoB-containing lipoproteins. This thesis tests the general hypothesis that apolipoprotein kinetics are altered in the metabolic syndrome, and that lipid regulating therapies can improve these kinetic abnormalities. The aims were first, to compare and establish the clinical, metabolic and kinetic differences between metabolic syndrome and lean subjects; and second, to determine the regulatory effects of statin therapy, specifically, rosuvastatin on lipoprotein transport in the metabolic syndrome. Five observation statements were derived from the general hypothesis and examined in the studies described below. The findings are presented separately as a series of original publications. Study 1 Twelve men with the metabolic syndrome and ten lean men were studied in a case-control setting. ... These findings explain the HDL raising effects of rosuvastatin in the metabolic syndrome. Collectively, these studies suggest that the dyslipidemia of the metabolic syndrome results from increased production rates of VLDL and LDL particles, reduced fractional catabolic rates of these lipoproteins, together with accelerated catabolism of HDL particles. Treatment with rosuvastatin increases the catabolic rates of all apoB-containing lipoproteins and at a higher dose, decreases LDL apoB production. These effects are consistent with inhibition of cholesterol synthesis leading to an upregulation of LDL receptors. Rosuvastatin decreases the fractional catabolism of HDL particles. The effects of rosuvastatin on HDL kinetics may be related to a reduction in triglyceride concentration and cholesterol ester transfer protein activity. These findings are consistent with the general hypothesis that apolipoprotein kinetics are altered in the metabolic syndrome, and that statin therapy improves these kinetic abnormalities.

Full text
Abstract:
Background: Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) is more efficacious than antiarrhythmic therapy. Post ablation recurrences reduce ablation effectiveness and are contributed by lesion discontinuity in the fibrotic linear ablation lesions. The anti-fibrotic role of statins in reducing AF is being assessed in current trials. By reducing the chronic pathological fibrosis that occurs in AF they may reduce AF. However if statins also have an effect on the acute therapeutic fibrosis of an ablation, this could exacerbate lesion discontinuity and AF recurrence. We tested the hypothesis that statins attenuate ablation lesion continuity in a recognised pig atrial linear ablation model. Aims: To assess whether Atorvastatin diminishes the bi-directional conduction block produced by a linear atrial ablation lesion. Methods: Sixteen pigs were randomised to statin (n=8) or placebo (n=8) with drug pre-treatment for 3 days and a further 4 weeks. At initial electrophysiological study (EPS1) 3D right atrium (RA) mapping and a vertical ablation linear lesion in the posterior RA with bidirectional conduction block were completed (Gepstein Circ 1999). Follow-up electrophysiological assessment (EPS2) at 28 days assessed bidirectional conduction block maintenance. Results: Data of 15/16 (statin=7) pigs were analysed. Mean lesion length was 3.7 ± 0.8cm with a mean of 17.9 ± 5.7 lesion applications. Bi-directional conduction block was confirmed in 15/15 pigs (100%) at EPS1 and EPS2. Conclusions: Atorvastatin did not affect ablation lesion continuity in this pig atrial linear ablation model. If patients are on long-term statins for AF reduction, periablation cessation is probably not necessary.

Abstract:
AbstractIn the second digital turn, the architecture driven by big data logic is gradually shifting from a traditional static entity to an intellective living organism. This paper explores a space planning algorithm that applies reinforcement learning to the multi-agent system to achieve condition adaptability. This algorithm contains an inclusive environment and programmable agents that represent independent spaces. Through reinforcement learning, personalized space needs are quantified as the agent’s Space Schema, which can provide adaptive behavior strategies to adjust volumetric room boundaries. The spatial organization emerges in multi-agent competition, guided by the Negotiation Schema, realizing the dynamic equilibrium of spatial relations and the stable maximization of collective interests. Through real-time interaction and distributed decision-making, this bottom-up method defines a new architectural paradigm that continuously changes based on demands with its high degree of variability, adaptability and evolvability.

Abstract:
Considering the agent-based modeling and mapping in manufacturing system, some system models are described in this paper, which are included: Domain Based Hierarchical Structure (DBHS), Cascading Agent Structure (CAS), Proximity Relation structure (PRS), and Bus-based network structure (BNS). In DBHS, one sort of agents, called static agents, individually acts as Domain Agents, Resources Agents, UserInterface Agents and Gateway Agents. And the others, named mobile agents, are the brokers of task and process flow. Static agents representing a subsystem may itself be an agent-based network and should learn as the mobile agents to deal with new situation. Mobile agents move around the network domains taking advantage of the resources to fulfill their goals. In CAS, We use Unified Modeling Language (UML) to build up the agent-based manufacturing system It is said Enterprise agent (main agent) has factory agents together with some directly jurisdictional workshop agents, cell agents, and individual resource agents. Likewise, factory agent has workshop agents together with some directly jurisdictional cell agents and individual resource agents, and so on. In PRS, the resources agents are located together by its function and abilities. There is only one agent behaves as the task-announcer. The communication just occurs among the Proximity Relational agents. In BNS, It is very similar with the society of human being connected with a network, some agents, such as ‘cost calculating’, are just cope with the matter-of-fact job. And some agents run as the individual resources that can negotiate with each other and advertise a necessary message within the whole domain or a given group of agents. The administration just relies on the individual address of agents and the group ID code of agents.

Abstract:
One of the biggest challenges in modern societies is to solve vehicular traffic problems. In this scenario, our proposal is to use a Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) composed of three types of agent: traffic light management agents, traffic jam detection agents, and agents that control the traffic lights at an intersection. This third type of agent is able to change its behaviour between what we have called a selfish mode (the agent will try to influence the other neighbour agents of its type to achieve its goal) or an altruistic mode (the agent will take into consideration the other neighbour selfish agents indications). To validate our solution, we have developed a MAS emulator which communicates with the Simulation of Urban MObility (SUMO) traffic simulator using the Traci tool to realize the experiments in a realistic environment. The obtained results show that our proposal is able to improve other existing solutions such as conventional traffic light management systems (static or dynamic) in terms of reduction of vehicle trip duration.

Abstract:
It is critical in many system-engineering problems (such as surveillance, environmental monitoring, and cooperative task performance) to optimally allocate resources in the presence of limited resources. Static coverage problem is an important class of the resource allocation problems that focuses on covering an area of interest so that the activities in the area of interest can be detected/monitored with higher probability. In many practical settings (primarily due to financial constraints) a system designer has to allocate resources in multiple stages. In each stage, the system designer can assign a fixed number of resources (agents). In the multi-stage formulation, the agents locations for the next stage are dependent on all the agents location in the previous stages. Such multi-stage static coverage problems are non-trivial to solve. In this paper, we propose a robust and efficient sequential sampling algorithm to solve the multi-stage static coverage problem in the presence of probabilistic resource intensity allocation maps (RIAMs). The agents locations are determined by formulating this problem as an optimization problem in the successive stage . Three different objective functions are compared and discussed from the aspects of decreasing L2 difference and Sequential Minimum Energy Design (SMED). It is shown that utilizing SMED objective function leads to a better approximation of the RIAMs. Two heuristic algorithms, i.e. cuckoo search, and pattern search, are used as optimization algorithms. Numerical functions and real-life applications are provided to demonstrate the robustness and efficiency of the proposed approach.

Abstract:
In this paper, we consider a deterministic adaptive control framework to design and analyze a class of multi-agent systems that locate peaks of unknown static fields in a distributed and scalable manner. Each agent is driven by swarming and gradient ascent efforts based on its own recursively estimated field via locally collected measurements by itself and its neighboring agents. The convergence properties of the proposed multi-agent systems are analyzed. We also provide a sampling scheme to facilitate the convergence. The simulation study confirms the convergence analysis of the proposed algorithms.

Abstract:
As the field of explainable AI (XAI) is maturing, calls for interactive explanations for (the outputs of) AI models are growing, but the state-of-the-art predominantly focuses on static explanations. In this paper, we focus instead on interactive explanations framed as conflict resolution between agents (i.e. AI models and/or humans) by leveraging on computational argumentation. Specifically, we define Argumentative eXchanges (AXs) for dynamically sharing, in multi-agent systems, information harboured in individual agents’ quantitative bipolar argumentation frameworks towards resolving conflicts amongst the agents. We then deploy AXs in the XAI setting in which a machine and a human interact about the machine’s predictions. We identify and assess several theoretical properties characterising AXs that are suitable for XAI. Finally, we instantiate AXs for XAI by defining various agent behaviours, e.g. capturing counterfactual patterns of reasoning in machines and highlighting the effects of cognitive biases in humans. We show experimentally (in a simulated environment) the comparative advantages of these behaviours in terms of conflict resolution, and show that the strongest argument may not always be the most effective.

Abstract:
In this study, a novel microcellular injection foaming method employing supercritical CO2 (scCO2) and water as co-blowing agents was developed to produce thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) tissue engineering scaffolds with a uniform porous structure and no solid skin layer. Various characterization techniques were applied to investigate the cell morphology, crystallization behavior, and static and dynamic mechanical properties of solid molded samples, foamed samples using CO2 or water as a single blowing agent, and foamed samples using both CO2 and water as co-blowing agents. Compared with CO2 foamed scaffolds, scaffolds produced by the co-blowing method exhibit much more uniform cell morphologies without a noticeable reduction in mechanical properties. Moreover, these TPU scaffolds have almost no skin layer, which permits free transport of nutrients and waste throughout the samples, which is highly desirable in tissue engineering. The effect of these blowing agents on the shear viscosity of various samples is also reported.

Abstract:
Some of the subjective reactions of an argumentation agent are determined not so much by his emotional or personal characteristics, but by the presence of implicit components of the agent's epistemic state, which can be explicated and formalized. The identification of these components makes it possible to use them to refine the argumentation strategy.

Full text
Abstract:
This report has identified emerging issues within the women, peace and security (WPS) agenda. Climate change has long been identified as a key cross-cutting issue and several potential avenues for WPS policy are identified. Other issues such as artificial intelligence (AI) have been highlighted as potentially relevant, but relatively little discussed with respect to WPS. The WPS agenda focuses on addressing the gendered impact of conflict and seeking to prevent conflict through increased women’s participation. In this report, WPS is understood as a body of UN Security Council resolutions (UNSCRs) and state national action plans (NAPs) labelled as WPS; as well as other UN and state policies using the language and ideas of WPS; and actions and ideas produced by civil society and academics inspired by the United Nations (UN) agenda or sharing ideas with it. The report focuses on new and emerging issues identified by academics and policymakers as relevant to the WPS agenda. Emerging trends and issues are broadly understood as: • Parts of the WPS agenda that are increasingly part of policies formulated by the UN, member states or civil society actors. • Parts of the WPS agenda that scholars or policymakers think have been neglected or not implemented sufficiently. • Re-interpretations of the framing of the WPS agenda. • New areas to which it is argued WPS should be applied. • Parallel international policy agendas with conceptual or legislative overlap with WPS. Emerging trends and issues are discussed with reference to their status in policy and implementation; normative debates about their place in the WPS agenda; and evidence on their implications for and applicability to certain contexts. The report does not seek to predict or assess the future trends or their relative importance, beyond highlighted existing interpretations of their status, implementation and potential implications. The report discusses a variety of emerging issues. These include issues where the WPS agenda has already been applied, but where its implementation –or lack thereof – has been criticised, such as in counterterrorism and arms control, or the conceptualisation of gender. The ability of WPS instruments to address changing forms of conflict has also been criticised. Issues to which it is argued that WPS should, and could, be applied more thoroughly, such as gang violence and trafficking, are discussed. The report includes new fields such as cybersecurity and AI, about which there is relatively little literature linked to WPS, but agreement that it may be relevant.

Herbert, Siân. Maintaining Basic State Functions and Service Delivery During Escalating Crises. Institute of Development Studies (IDS), May 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/k4d.2021.099.

Full text
Abstract:
This rapid literature review explores how to maintain essential state functions and basic service delivery during escalating conflict situations. It draws on literature and ideas from various overlapping agendas including development and humanitarian nexus; development, humanitarian and peacebuilding nexus (the “triple nexus”); fragile states; state-building; conflict sensitivity; resilience; and conflict prevention and early warning. There has been an extensive exploration of these ideas over the past decades: as the international development agenda has increasingly focussed on the needs of fragile and conflict-affected contexts (FCAS); as violent conflicts have become more complex and protracted; as the global share of poverty has become increasingly concentrated in FCAS highlighting the need to combine humanitarian crisis strategies with longer-term development strategies; as threats emanating from FCAS increasingly affect countries beyond those states and regions e.g. through serious and organised crime (SOC) networks, migration, terrorism, etc; and as global trends like climate change and demographic shifts create new stresses, opportunities, and risks.

Full text
Abstract:
Toward development of spiroplasmas as novel toxin-delivery systems for biocontrol of beetle pests in the United States (Leptinotarsa decemlineata) and Israel (Maladera matrida), media for cultivating beetle-associated spiroplasmas were improved and surveys of these spiroplasmas were conducted to provide transformable strains. Extensive surveys of spiroplasmas yielded promising extrachromosomal elements for vector constructs. One, plasmid pCT-1, was cloned, characterized, and used as a source of spiroplasma origin of replication in our shuttle vectors. The fibrillin gene was isolated and sequenced and its strong promoter was also used in the constructs. Means for transforming these vectors into spiroplasmas were developed and optimized, with electroporation found to be suitable for most applications. Development and optimization of means for using large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) in spiroplasma transformation represents a breakthrough that should facilitate insertion of large clusters of virulence genes. With completion of the vector, we should thus be poised to genetically engineer spiroplasmas with genes that will express toxins lethal to our target beetles, thus providing an effective and inexpensive alternative to conventional means of beetle control.

Abstract:
Since their introduction to the United States in the 1960s, monk parakeets (Myiopsittamonachus) have thrived. Monk parakeets often construct nests on man-made structures, such as electric utility facilities and cell phone towers. Monk parakeets are non-native and not protected by the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Their status at the State level varies considerably─from no regulation to complete protection. Thus, it is best to consult with the appropriate local wildlife management agency before initiating any control efforts. The monk parakeet is a popular cage bird, and although imports from South America have ceased, many are available in the U.S. through captive breeding and from individuals who take young birds from nests.
