Abstract:
Grapevine leafroll disease (GLD) is one of the most economically important diseases of cultivated grapevines (Vitis vinifera), causing decrease in yield, as well as decreasing the sugar levels and increasing the acidity of the berries (1). There are currently at least 10 serologically distinct viruses, referred to as grapevine leafroll-associated viruses (GLRaVs), from the family Closteroviridae that are associated with leafroll disease (4). China is one of the world's leading grape producers, and nearly 75% of the vineyards in China are located in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and Hebei, Shandong, Gansu, Ningxia, and Yunnan provinces. Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 7 (GLRaV-7) isolates have been reported so far in Liaoning (GQ849392, GQ849393, and JF927943) and Henan (EF093187) provinces in China (3). The four Chinese isolates were isolated respectively from grape varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon (GQ849392, GQ849393), Centennial Seedless (JF927943), and Semillon (EF093187), and these grape varieties are introduced from abroad. Cow's Nipple and Dragon's Eye are old grape varieties native to China. Cow's nipple is extensively cultivated in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, while Dragon's Eye is widely planted in Heibei Province. To determine if GLRaV-7 was present in these two varieties, six samples (three per variety) were collected from six individual grapevines showing GLD-like symptoms in two vineyards in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Hebei Province, respectively, in September 2011. Total RNA extracts obtained from phloem scrapings of samples using the RNeasy plant mini kit (QIAGEN) were tested by reverse transcription (RT)-PCR with primers F1 (5′-TATATCCCAACGGAGATGGC-3′) and R1 (5′-ATGTTCCTCCACCAAAATCG-3′) (2) specific to the heat shock protein 70 homologue (HSP-70 gene) of GLRaV-7. All samples produced a single band of the expected size of 502 bp. One GLRaV-7-specific amplicon per variety was cloned into pMD 18-T simple vector (TaKaRa). Plasmid DNA was purified using Column Plasmid DNAOUT (TIANDZ, Beijing, China) from three individual clones and sequenced from both directions. The sequence of the two isolates (GenBank Accession Nos. JX494722 and JX494723) shared 97.81% identity at the nucleotide level and 100% identity at the amino acid level. A pairwise comparison of HSP-70 sequences of the two isolates from this report with nine corresponding sequences of GLRaV-7 isolates (including four previously reported Chinese isolates) showed nucleotide sequence identities ranging from 91.24% (EF093187) to 98.80% (GQ849392). These samples were further analyzed by double antibody sandwich (DAS)-ELISA using antibody specific to GLRaV-7 (NEOGEN Europe, Ayr, Scotland) according to the manufacturer's instructions, and the results confirmed the presence of the virus in these samples that were positive by RT-PCR. To our knowledge, this is the first report of GLRaV-7 occurring in native grape varieties in China. These results could be helpful in developing sound diagnostic systems for implementing efficient disease management strategies. References: (1) B. Akbas et al. Hort. Sci. 36:97, 2009. (2) E.

Abstract:
The article explores the creativity concept as self-creation in the context of the baroque idea of the artist-demiurge in prose by Valeriy Shevchuk. The writer’s creativity is seen as a postmodern palimpsest the various cultural fragments is «shining through»: numerous quotations, allusions, associations, «fragments» of other texts, concepts, signs, meanings and codes. The theme of creativity and formation of cultural in Valeriy Shevchuk's prose becomes the main subject of writer's musings. At that, this topic is not limited to the depiction of the psychology of the creator, but achieves the ontology and axiology of creativity generally, that is the philosophy of creative act as self-creative. And it is realized by the ways of the culture itself: endless borrowings and repeats, quotations and self-citations, allusions and reminiscences, doubling of the code, and using the structure of «text in text». So Shevchuk's prose appears as a «text of culture», a palimpsest. The author is a master of creating the illusion of cultural esotericism in his own texts. His work is a text iceberg, and it reads differently at different levels. An array of cultural allusions, signs, meanings, and associations never opens fully and thus gives the impression of secret writing, cryptotext of culture. Baroque, its ontology and axiology, aesthetics and poetics are the keys for reading for Shevchuk's texts. A number of Baroque concepts are through ones in the prose of the artist. It deduces that postmodernism of writer has the neo-Baroque essence. In particular, it is confirmed by the concept of creativity as self-creation and the idea of the artist-demiurge. Shevchuk explores a person's existence in culture, his or her existence in culture, the philosophy of creation and the psychology of perception of cultural values. His character is a «creative man» who emerges first of all as a subject of culture. According to Shevchuk, the only possible being is an existence in culture. The being outside of culture is impossible (in Shevchuk's model of world), because only through it the human life becomes meaningful. The origins of image of a «creative person» by Shevchuk arise out of the Baroque idea of the artist-demiurge, which is a well-founded alternative to the postmodern slogan «death of the author». The main motif that is manifested in most of Shevchuk's works is a semantic couple – a hero and a text. The last one must either be created or reproduced to self-define and achieve inner integrity, to comprehend own life and to fill it with meaning, to realize own complicity in cultural formation and in the sphere of the spiritual values, that is, to eternity. And the eternity is the higher purpose of man, which is an opposition to nothingness. This motif is analyzed in the novels «On a Humble Field», «The House on the Mountain», «The Path in the Grass», «Three Leaves behind the Window», «The Eye of the Chasm», and the tales «The Begginning of Horror», «To the Dragon's Jaws».

Abstract:
This article was intended to extract betacyanin from the peel of red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) and used it as a natural colorant. In this study, enzyme and ultrasound techniques for the extraction of betacyanin from dried dragon fruit peel were compared. The ultrasonic power and sonication time levels were varied between 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, and W/g; and 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0, and 12.5 min. The enzyme concentrations were 0.25, 0.75, 1.25, 1.75, 2.25, and 2.75 %v/w. The results revealed that the maximum betacyanin content obtained by the optimal UAE condition (3.5 W/g and 7.5 min) was 0.3402 mg/g, and 9.47 % higher than that by the EAE method. The first- order kinetic extraction was used to describe the mechanism of extraction of betacyanin from red dragon fruit peels. The initial extraction rate (h) and extraction rate constant (k) of the UAE model were 30.80 and 27.81 % higher than those of the enzyme assisted extraction (EAE) model. The UAE treated only 5.0 min to obtain the highest level of betacyanin (0.323 mg/g), whereas the EAE took up to 20 min to achieve the maximal value (0.309 mg/g). The research clearly shows that the UAE method is a useful method for extracting betacyanin from dried red dragon fruit peel.

Abstract:
Dracaena cinnabari (D. cinnabari) is an endemic plant located in Socotra Island, Yemen. Deep red resin attained from different plant species including D. cinnabari is commonly known as dragon’s blood. In folk medicine, it is prescribed for the treatment of traumatic dermal, dental, and eye injuries as well as blood stasis, pain, and gastrointestinal diseases in humans. Numerous studies have investigated that this resinous medicine has antidiarrheal, antiulcer, antimicrobial, antiviral, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, wound healing, and antioxidant activity. Several phytochemicals have been isolated from D. cinnabari, including the biflavonoid cinnabarone, triflavonoids, metacyclophanes, chalcones, chalcanes, dihydrochalcones, sterols, and terpenoids. The present review highlights the structures and bioactivities of main phytochemicals isolated from D. cinnabari regarding the botany and pharmacological effects of the resin derived from this plant.

The Power Transition theory relies on the notions of “Power” and “Intentions” to analyze competition between the “Hegemonic Power” and the “Great Power” on the rise. The aim of the theory is to explain the peace and war issue resulting from such competition. The theory seems applicable to contemporary Sino-American relations. However, practically neither “Power” nor “Intention” has clear cut indicators to engender any consensus between China watchers regarding China being a status quo or a revisionist power. The theoretical perspective of Power Transition allows the audience to understand how China experts decide. In the current study, China experts of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) make the object of research. The publications of the CFR during the last two decades are read against their judgment on China’s “Power” and “Intentions” in order to explain their policy recommendations becoming confrontational or not. The CFR is arguably the most influential private organization as regards the U.S. foreign policy making. This is probably because it is not a typical think tank. In fact, first and foremost as a long-time membership organization, its members include Wall Street plutocracies, owners or leaders of multinational cooperation, and the professional class, like scholars or professors. As a result, the CFR and its China Reports echoes the U.S. decision-making circle,. This is why the “China Image” presented in its reports informs how most likely the U.S. government considers China. Through the content analysis of the CFR China Reports from 1995-2017, China’s “Power” and “Intentions” in the American perceptions can be acquired. The evolution of this image connects analysis of practitioners’ view to theories of International Relations. It enables a better understanding of the U.S. China Policy and the Sino-American Relations.

Abstract:
The final chapter explores several prominent fifth- through seventhcentury female saints who do not have surviving medieval vitae but who help broaden our understanding of the complexity and empowering aspects of female religious experience in medieval Ireland. Three have early modern adaptations of medieval Lives or legends. Lasair was so renowned for her wisdom that Finnian of Clonard’s own Life claims her as his student. She also shows that women could unleash some seriously righteous wrath, while also being a source of comfort and healing. Attracta, said to be a contemporary and associate of Patrick, was particularly active in County Sligo, where she is well-remembered in several churches and wells. Her legend celebrates her ability to slay dragons and resurrect the dead. Cranat emphasizes connections with the earth, as her eyes are said to have become trees, one devoured piece by piece by the desperate hopes of Ireland’s emigrants in the mid-nineteenth-century, as it was said to protect the bearer from drowning; another survived and indeed thrived into the last century. Cranat sacrificed her eyes to retain control over her body and fate, to remain a nun rather than become a wife. Gobnait inspired many legends attesting to her great holiness and harmony with animals and nature, but none survive from the medieval period. Medieval litanies and calendars invoked her protection and honored her memory, but her preservation is primarily a credit to the importance that her monastic site, Ballyvourney, retained through the centuries as well as to oral traditions and cultural customs that accompanied her cult. The chapter finishes with Dígde, the probable poet behind one of Ireland’s most celebrated poems, Aithbe damsa bés mara, or “The Lament of the Old Woman of Beare.” Her poem may preserve an authentic echo of a medieval Irishwoman’s perspective; its haunting, complex, and evocative beauty and frank sensuality challenge assumptions about gender and sanctity and provides striking contrast to claims made by hagiographers.

Abstract:
Animatronic figures provide key show effects in the entertainment and theme park industry by simulating life-like animations and sounds. There is a need for interactive, autonomous animatronic systems to create engaging and compelling experiences for the guests. The animatronic figures must identify the guests and recognize their status in dynamic interactions for enhanced acceptance and effectiveness as socially interactive agents, in the general framework of human-robot interactions. The design and implementation of an interactive, autonomous animatronic system in form of a tabletop dragon and the comparisons of guest responses in its passive and interactive modes are presented in this work. The purpose of this research is to create a platform that may be used to validate autonomous, interactive behaviors in animatronics, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative analysis methods of guest response. The dragon capabilities include a four degrees-of-freedom head, moving wings, tail, jaw, blinking eyes and sound effects. Human identification, using a depth camera (Carmine from PrimeSense), an open-source middleware (NITE from OpenNI), Java-based Processing and an Arduino microcontroller, has been implemented into the system in order to track a guest or guests, within the field of view of the camera. The details of design and fabrication of the dragon model, algorithm development for interactive autonomous behavior using a vision system, the experimental setup and implementation results under different conditions are presented.
