Full textAbstract:
The comments of Nagendra and Ram Babu mainly center around the sign of the imaginary component in the integral [Formula: see text]. We have defined [Formula: see text] and maintained the consequential algebra throughout. The Hilbert transform we considered is a modified version of Thomas (1969) without any theoretical deviations. Since the modification is elementary, we thought more elaboration was not necessary.

Full textAbstract:
We characterise the Kato property of a sectorial form a, defined on a Hilbert space V, with respect to a larger Hilbert space H in terms of two bounded, selfadjoint operators T and Q determined by the imaginary part of a and the embedding of V into H, respectively. As a consequence, we show that if a bounded selfadjoint operator T on a Hilbert space V is in the Schatten class Sp(V) (p⩾1), then the associated form aT(⋅,⋅):=⟨(I+iT)⋅,⋅⟩V has the Kato property with respect to every Hilbert space H into which V is densely and continuously embedded. This result is in a sense sharp. Another result says that if T and Q commute then the form a with respect to H possesses the Kato property.

This paper presents a training system based on low-voltage cascaded PWM STATCOM.It is intended to train the employee in power grid companies.The system is characterized by load disturbance in 380-V power grid and imaginary power compensation of transformerless cascade PWM STATCOM with star-configuration. A two-hierarchy DC voltage balance strategy is adopted to stabilize the H-bridge capacitors in the compensation procedure. Simulation and experimental waveform indicate that a 380V-20kvar cascade STATCOM with star-configuration compensate the the imaginary power shortage within 20ms.

SUMMARY We use broad-band stations of the ‘Los Angeles Syncline Seismic Interferometry Experiment’ (LASSIE) to perform a joint inversion of the Horizontal to Vertical spectral ratios (H/V) and multimode dispersion curves (phase and group velocity) for both Rayleigh and Love waves at each station of a dense line of sensors. The H/V of the autocorrelated signal at a seismic station is proportional to the ratio of the imaginary parts of the Green’s function. The presence of low-frequency peaks (∼0.2 Hz) in H/V allows us to constrain the structure of the basin with high confidence to a depth of 6 km. The velocity models we obtain are broadly consistent with the SCEC CVM-H community model and agree well with known geological features. Because our approach differs substantially from previous modelling of crustal velocities in southern California, this research validates both the utility of the diffuse field H/V measurements for deep structural characterization and the predictive value of the CVM-H community velocity model in the Los Angeles region. We also analyse a lower frequency peak (∼0.03 Hz) in H/V and suggest it could be the signature of the Moho. Finally, we show that the independent comparison of the H and V components with their corresponding theoretical counterparts gives information about the degree of diffusivity of the ambient seismic field.

Neutron and nuclear beta decay correlation coefficients are linearly sensitive to the exotic scalar and tensor interactions that are not included in the Standard Model (SM). The proposed experiment will measure simultaneously 11 neutron correlation coefficients (a, a, B, D, H, L, N, R, S, U, V) where 7 of them (H, L, N, R, S, U, V) depend on the transverse electron polarization – a quantity that vanishes for the SM weak interaction. The neutron decay correlation coefficients H, L, S, U, V were never attempted experimentally before. The expected ultimate sensitivity of the proposed experiment that currently takes off on the cold neutron beamline PF1B at the Institut Laue-Langevin, Grenoble, France, is comparable to that of the planned electron spectrum shape measurements in neutron and nuclear β decays but offers completely different systematics and additional sensitivity to imaginary parts of the scalar and tensor couplings.

Full textAbstract:
Acidification of endomembrane compartments by the vacuolar-type H+-translocating ATPase (V-ATPase) is vital to the growth and development of plants. The V-ATPase purified from oat roots is a large complex of 650x10(3 )Mr that contains 10 different subunits of 70, 60, 44, 42, 36, 32, 29, 16, 13 and 12x10(3 )Mr. This set of ten polypeptides is sufficient to couple ATP hydrolysis to proton pumping after reconstitution of the ATPase into liposomes. Unlike some animal V-ATPases, the purified and reconstituted V-ATPase from oat is directly stimulated by Cl-. The peripheral complex of the ATPase includes the nucleotide-binding subunits of 70 and 60x10(3 )Mr and polypeptides of 44, 42, 36 and 29x10(3 )Mr. Six copies of the 16x10(3 )Mr proteolipid together with three other polypeptides are thought to make up the integral sector that forms the H+-conducting pathway. Release of the peripheral complex from the native membrane completely inactivates the pump; however, the peripheral subunits can be reassembled with the membrane sector to form a functional H+ pump. Comparison of V-ATPases from several plants indicates considerable variations in subunit composition. Hence, several forms of the V-ATPase may exist among, and probably within, plant species. At least four distinct cDNAs encode the 16x10(3 )Mr proteolipid subunit in oat. Multiple genes could encode different subtypes of the H+ pump that are regulated by the developmental stage and physiological function specific to the cell or tissue type.

Full textAbstract:
A planar harmonic mapping is a complex-valued function f : U ? C of the form f (x + iy) = u(x,y) + iv(x,y), where u and v are both real harmonic. Such a function can be written as f = h + g?, where h and g are both analytic; the function ? = g'=h' is called the dilatation of f. We consider the linear combinations of planar harmonic mappings that are the vertical shears of the asymmetrical vertical strip mappings j(z) = 1/2isin?j log (1+zei?j/ 1+ze-i?j) with various dilatations, where ?j ? [?/2,?), j=1,2. We prove sufficient conditions for the linear combination of this class of harmonic univalent mappings to be univalent and convex in the direction of the imaginary axis.

Superconducting ceramic samples ( Bi , Pb ):2223 (sample V) and ( Bi )( Pb ),( Sr , Ba ):2223 (samples S1 and S2) were investigated by electrical resistance and AC magnetic susceptibility measurements. The intergrain critical current density J cJ (T) dependence near T c obtained from imaginary AC susceptibility data agrees with the assumption of SNS intergrain junctions, and are sensitive to the compounds stoichiomerty and thermal treatments. The crossover from linear to nonlinear dependence of T p (H AC ) of irreversible line (IL) observed in all samples, was discussed based on the modification of Josephson medium in the Muller model.

Neutron and nuclear beta decay correlation coefficients are sensitive to the exotic scalar and tensor interactions that are not included in the Standard Model (SM). The proposed experiment BRAND will measure simultaneously seven neutron correlation coefficients: H, L, N, R, S, U and V that depend on the transverse electron polarization – a quantity which vanishes in the SM. Five of these correlations: H, L, S, U and V were never attempted experimentally before. The expected impact of the proposed experiment is comparable to that of frequently measured “traditional” correlation coefficients (a, b, A, B, D) but offers completely different systematics and additional sensitivity to imaginary parts of the scalar and tensor couplings. In order to demonstrate the feasibility of the challenging techniques such as the event-by-event decay kinematics reconstruction together with the electron polarimetry a test setup was installed at the cold neutron beam line PF1B at the Laue-Langevin Institute, Grenoble, France. In this contribution, the results of the first run as well as plans for the run in Autumn 2021 will be discussed.

In this study lattice parameters, band structure, and optical characteristics of pure and V-doped ZnO are examined by employing (USP) and (GGA) with the assistance of First-principles calculation (FPC) derived from (DFT). The measurements are performed in the supercell geometry that were optimized. GGA+U, the geometrical structures of all models, are utilized to compute the amount of energy after optimizing all parameters in the models. The volume of the doped system grows as the content of the dopant V is increased. Pure and V-doped ZnO are investigated for band structure and energy bandgaps using the Monkhorst–Pack scheme's k-point sampling techniques in the Brillouin zone (G-A-H-K-G-M-L-H). In the presence of high V content, the bandgap energy decreases from 3.331 to 2.043 eV as seen by the band diagram. PDOS diagram was utilized to get the insight of the electronic structure of the atoms and the amount to which all energy bands contribute to a particular orbit of the atoms. As the V content grew, so did the PDOS for all of the states. The manipulation of bandgaps was carried out in a way that narrowing the bandgaps occurs, resulting in a redshift of the absorption spectrum in the IR region. At lower photon energies, the imaginary and real parts dielectric functions have increased. The effectiveness of V atoms on transmissivity especially in the low energy region of the V-doped ZnO perovskite has been verified compared to the other theoretical results.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Polymorphisms of the Ig H chain V region (VH) genes were examined with probes from the coding and flanking regions of a gene from the largest VH gene family, VHIII. The 5'-flanking probe gave the simplest pattern and revealed the largest number of polymorphic fragments. Analysis of unrelated individuals and of families identified five polymorphic loci. Two alleles were detected for each of two of the loci, whereas a polymorphic band was scored as present or absent for the other three loci. The polymorphic fragments segregated in the expected Mendelian fashion and parental haplotypes could be assigned in all cases. Comparison of the patterns obtained with the flanking and coding region probes suggests that the human VHIII gene family is highly polymorphic and may contain several hundred V genes. This method, as well as the polymorphism detected, can be used to investigate the organization and germ-line variation of H chain V genes and their inheritance in normal individuals and in individuals with immunologic disorders.

The given article is devoted to the studying of main phonetic devices in E. A. Poe’s poem “The Raven” and peculiarities of their rendering in three target languages. Comparative analysis has been based on the original of the poem and its Ukrainian translations of P. Hrabovskyi, H. Kochur, A. Onyshko, V. Marach; Russian translations of S. Andreyevsky, K. Balmont, V. Bryusov, V. Betaki; German translations of K. T. Eben, H. Lachmann, T. Etzel, H. Wollschläger. The main techniques of phonetic devices rendering have been revealed. They are: stylistic equivalence, stylistic strengthening, stylistic weakening, stylistic individualization, stylistic grading. In the course of comparative analysis of E. A. Poe’s poem “The Raven” and its Ukrainian, Russian and German translations it has been found, that early translations, Ukrainian and Russian in particular, are aimed at sense rendering and do not pay much attention to the form, especially to the phonetic devices. In later translations the form and the sense of the original are preserved equally. However, notwithstanding high accuracy of later Ukrainian and Russian translations, German translations are the most precise ones as to phonetic devices’ rendering, because English and German belong to one language group — German group of Indo-European family, that’s why they have many similarities in the phonetic organization.

Abstract We have used molecular genetic mapping techniques to establish the order and approximate chromosomal locations of VH4 elements on both chromosomes 14 from a single patient. A total of 10 BglII restriction fragments carrying VH4 elements was characterized. The genomic order of VH4-carrying restriction fragments was determined by analysis of the pattern of loss of hybridizing bands from the genomes of a panel of monoclonal lymphoblastoid cell lines which had well characterized rearrangements of the Ig locus on each chromosome. Some individual elements were identified using sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes. Physical dimensions were estimated by the assignment of these ordered elements to large (50-350-kb) restriction fragments using two-dimensional pulse field gel electrophoresis. Six such fragments spanning approximately 890 kb were physically linked and ordered. The chromosomes differed with respect to the complement of VH4 elements, although no evidence was found of major differences in organization. The establishment of a panel of well characterized deletion lines facilitates the rapid mapping of defined restriction fragments carrying VH elements.

Altogether twenty-six elderly subjects (aged 65–74 years) with persistent impaired glucose tolerance (World Health Organization (1985) criteria) identified in a population-based study, were randomly treated either with chromium-rich yeast (160 μg Cr/d) or with placebo for 6 months. The 24 h urinary Cr increased from 0.13 (se 0.03) to 0.40 (se 0.06) μg/d in the Cr group (n13) but no change was found in the placebo group (n11) (0.13 (se 0.02)v.0.11 (se 0.02) μg/d).

The strategic alignment model of Henderson and Venkatraman (1994) views IS alignment as occurring among four factors: business strategy, organization infrastructure and processes, IS strategy, and IS infrastructure and processes. Henderson and Venkatraman view strategic alignment as occurring via simultaneous or concurrent attention to all four domains. A single case study was conducted to examine how changes in the alignment factors actually occur over time. Our findings suggest that while H& V indicated the SAM is a descriptive model, it explains few of the changes that actually occurred in the case and has limited applicability as a descriptive model.

Full textAbstract:
The mechanisms of proton secretion by the proximal brush-border membrane (BBM) were compared in carnivorous (dog), omnivorous (human, pig, rat), and herbivorous (rabbit, hamster) species. The activity of the proton pump (V-type bafilomycin-sensitive H(+)-adenosinetriphosphatase) and of the Na+/H+ exchanger (amiloride-sensitive quenching of acridine orange fluorescence), the two major proton secretion mechanisms, was measured. The enzymatic activity of the H(+)-adenosinetriphosphatase activity was measured in intact (endosomes) and solubilized (0.1% deoxycholate or Triton X-100) BBM vesicles isolated by conventional Mg2+ precipitation techniques. In all species, but not in humans, the fraction of the ATP turnover energizing the proton pump (bafilomycin-sensitive respiration) was also measured in isolated proximal tubules. Significant differences in acid transport mechanisms were noted between species, with the proton pump predominating in the BBM of carnivorous species and the Na+/H+ exchanger predominating in the BBM of herbivorous species. The fraction of respiration suppressible by bafilomycin in proximal tubules was also different in all the species considered. This may indicate a different organization of proximal H+ transport related to the species-specific menace to acid-base balance.

This research discusses the effect of the vessel’s dimension and the hull shape by using the stability standard from IMO.The result shows that the ratio of the B/T which meets the stability criteria is 2.50 with the ratio of KG/H of the vessel is 0.65, with the assumption that the KG and H of the vessel are more than 0.70. Whereas if the resistance ratio B/T is big, the resistance for the vessel will be relatively smaller. In terms of the vessel motion, a vessel with a V-type hull will better than a U-type hull in seakeeping.

Abstract The occurrence of arsenic (As) in groundwater in fourteen villages in Houshayu Town, Shunyi District, Beijing, China, was investigated, and a column experiment for the removal of As was conducted on-site with a pellet type iron-cerium (Fe-Ce) bimetal oxide adsorbent prepared in lab. The As concentration in the groundwater of twelve villages exceeds the maximum contamination level (10 µg/L) of the World Health Organization, and two of them exceed that of China (50 µg/L). A column experiment at a space velocity of 3 h-1 shows that the Fe-Ce adsorbent could remove As(V) (total As, 71 ± 19.7 µg/L) from groundwater with high efficiency. Around 11,500 bed volumes were gained when As(V) in the effluent exceeds 10 µg/L, giving an accumulated adsorption capacity of 6.0 mg As(V)/g adsorbent. Both batch tests and the column test suggest that humic substances might compete with As(V) for the adsorption sites, which disappeared after the column was continuously operated for more than two weeks. The effluent quality including heavy metals, radioactivity, etc., was confirmed to meet the drinking water standards of WHO and China.

Abstract Our prior analyses defined the cDNA sequence on part of the CH2 domain, the complete CH3 and CH4 domains, and the 3'-untranslated region of a catfish H chain. To complete the catfish H chain mRNA sequence, a primer-extended H chain cDNA library was constructed. Analysis of this library has resulted in the definition of full-length clones encoding a 61-bp 5' untranslated region, a 51-bp leader sequence, the V region and the complete CH1 and CH2 domains. The high similarity defined with other vertebrate V regions readily allowed the catfish sequence to be divided into FR and CDR regions. Sequence comparisons with mammalian VH and JH genes strongly suggest that the catfish V region is the product of multiple genes. Using a catfish VH cDNA probe, at least 25 different genomic VH members were defined. Because this probe does not hybridize with other full-length H chain cDNA clones, additional VH families will likely be defined in catfish. Phylogenetic sequence comparisons of the catfish C region domains indicated that the CH1 and CH4 were the most highly conserved. In addition several important features were defined in genomic Southern blot analyses of catfish DNA. Gene titration experiments established that the catfish CH gene is represented by a single genomic copy. This finding provides clear evidence that the genomic organization of H chain genes in catfish must be different from that defined in sharks and suggests that the phylogeny of single copy CH genes may have been established at the level of the bony fishes. It is also likely that there is an additional CH gene in catfish. This gene is also represented by a single genomic copy, and based upon its relative signal intensity when compared with the known CH gene it appears to share higher similarity with the known CH1 domain than it does with the CH2 domain.

Full textAbstract:
A potent and specific small molecule inhibitor of farnesyl-protein transferase, L-739,749, caused rapid morphological reversion and growth inhibition of ras-transformed fibroblasts (Rat1/ras cells). Morphological reversion occurred within 18 h of L-739,749 addition. The reverted phenotype was stable for several days in the absence of inhibitor before the transformed phenotype reappeared. Cell enlargement and actin stress fiber formation accompanied treatment of both Rat1/ras and normal Rat1 cells. Significantly, inhibition of Ras processing did not correlate with the initiation or maintenance of the reverted phenotype. While a single treatment with L-739,749 was sufficient to morphologically revert Rat1/ras cells, repetitive inhibitor treatment was required to significantly reduce cell growth rate. Thus, the effects of L-739,749 on transformed cell morphology and cytoskeletal actin organization could be separated from effects on cell growth, depending on whether exposure to a farnesyl-protein transferase inhibitor was transient or repetitive. In contrast, L-739,749 had no effect on the growth, morphology, or actin organization of v-raf-transformed cells. Taken together, the results suggest that the mechanism of morphological reversion is complex and may involve farnesylated proteins that control the organization of cytoskeletal actin.

Cortical slices allow for simultaneous imaging of multiple cortical layers. However, slices lack native physiological inputs and outputs. Although in vivo, two-photon imaging preserves the native context, it is typically limited to a depth of <500 μm. In addition, simultaneous imaging of multiple cortical layers is difficult due to the stratified organization of the cortex. We demonstrate the use of 1-mm microprisms for in vivo, two-photon neocortical imaging. These prisms enable simultaneous imaging of multiple cortical layers, including layer V, at an angle typical of slice preparations. Images were collected from the mouse motor and somatosensory cortex and show a nearly 900-μm-wide field of view. At high-magnification imaging using an objective with 1-mm of coverglass correction, resolution is sufficient to resolve dendritic spines on layer V neurons. Images collected using the microprism are comparable to images collected from a traditional slice preparation. Functional imaging of blood flow at various neocortical depths is also presented, allowing for quantification of red blood cell flux and velocity. H&E staining shows the surrounding tissue remains in its native, stratified organization. Estimation of neuronal damage using propidium iodide and a fluorescent Nissl stain reveals cell damage is limited to <100 μm from the tissue–glass interface. Microprisms are a straightforward tool offering numerous advantages for INTO NEOCORTICAL STISSUE.

R e l e v a n c e . The healthcare management system requires high-quality and rational use of the organization’s workforce, i. e. the skills of employees. The intentional potential of an employee is a set of needs, motives, etc., the «core» of the personality driving it to achieve a meaningful goal. The N. V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Medicine is a leading multidisciplinary medical institution with an established multi-level system and management culture, the quantitative assessment of the intentional potential of which is of great interest. P u r p o s e : to study the intentional potential of the heads of clinical and scientific departments. M e t h o d s . An anonymous survey was conducted among the heads of the scientific and clinical departments of the N. V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Medicine (2021), including two methods of S. Schwartz: assessment by the level of normative ideals (SVS) and by individual priorities (PVQ). The procedures of centering and ranking by the average values of each valuemotivational type were carried out. Next, the value-intentional consistency (VIC) and the coefficient of value oppositions (Cvo) were investigated. F i n d i n g s . No statistically significant differences in the VIC at the SVS and PVQ levels, as well as no differences in the Cvo at the SVS level in the groups of heads of clinical and scientific departments were revealed. Intrapersonal contradictions between the value oppositions «Security» and «Stimulation» at the PVQ level (p<0.05) were revealed, they are less pronounced in the group of heads of scientific departments. There were also no statistically significant differences in the other oppositions of value orientations of the PVQ level. C o n c l u s i o n s . The presented results can be used as additional factors in the planning and implementation of measures of sociopsychological management of scientific and clinical departments. In the professional selection for the relevant positions, the Cvo indicator is more informative. Differences between the groups of scientific and clinical heads in the «Security – Stimulation» Cvo were shown, the distribution of this indicator tends to be more pronounced among the group of scientific heads.

The aim of this present study is to determine the physicochemical properties of atmospheric particles in commune 5 of the Niamey region. For this purpose, the determination of the atmospheric physical and chemical properties was carried out using a low-volume sampler, a Davis-type weather station, a balance high sensitivity, The Thermo XL2 and the black carbon reflectometer. The pollutants concerned by this study are mainly fine particulate matter (PM2.5), black carbon and heavy metals such as Cr, Cu, Hg, Mn, Ti, V, Zn, Ba, Fe and Sr. According to the result of this study which is carried out over 30 days, the PM2.5 concentrations of air measured were between 0 and 286.54 μg/L with a mean value of 11.65 μg/L. The temperature values were between 24 and 27 °C with an average value of 25.3°C. The humidity value of measured air varies between 8 and 17 % with a mean value of 13.3 %. The measured wind speed values are between 3.24 and 6.48 Km/h with an average value of 4.14 Km/h. According to World Health Organization guidelines the PM2.5, Mn, Hg, Ba, Cr and black carbon concentrations measured during this study exceeded the permissible limit values. Correlation analysis results highlighted a strong correlation between Mn-Fe, Mn-Zn, Mn-Ti, Mn-V, Mn-Cr, Zn-Ti, Zn-V, Zn-Cr, Ti-V, and Ti-Cr indicating that these ions come from a common source. According to principal component analysis for heavy metals, three principal factors that explain 87.34% of the total variance have been formed. Component 1 includes V, Zn, Ti and Cr with a variance value of 56.067 %; the second factor includes Ba and black carbon with a variance value of 19.665 % and the third factor is only represented by Sr with a variance value of 11.612 %. The high value of variance observed in the first group of components indicated that V, Zn, Ti and Cr are the main pollutants that control the air pollution in the study area.

Daphne du Maurier’s 1938 novel Rebecca provides rich opportunities for the study of imaginary narrative spaces and the language associated with such spaces. The present study explores the linguistics of the imaginary narrative spaces in Rebecca, drawing upon three lines of linguistic research consistent with a Cognitive Linguistic approach: (i) an interest in understanding and appreciating ordinary readers’ actual responses (rather than merely relying upon “expert” readers’ responses), (ii) the construction of worlds or “spaces”, and (iii) the application of ideas from Cognitive Grammar. The study reveals a surprisingly intricate interplay of linguistic devices used in the construction of imaginary narrative spaces and the maintenance of such spaces in extended discourse.

The completeness of some classical statistical mechanical (SM) models is a recent result that has been developed by quantum formalism for the partition functions. In this paper, we consider a 2D classical [Formula: see text] filed theory whose completeness has been proved in [V. Karimipour and M. H. Zarei, Phys. Rev. A 85 (2012) 032316]. We give a new and general systematic proof for the completeness of such a model where, by a few simple steps, we show how the partition function of an arbitrary classical field theory can be derived from a 2D classical [Formula: see text] model. To this end, we start from various classical field theories containing models on arbitrary lattices and also [Formula: see text] lattice gauge theories. Then we convert them to a new classical field model on a nonplanar bipartite graph with imaginary kinetic terms. After that, we show that any polynomial function of the field in the corresponding Hamiltonian can approximately be converted to a [Formula: see text] term by adding enough numbers of vertices to the bipartite graph. In the next step, we give a few graphical transformations to convert the final nonplanar graph to a 2D rectangular lattice. We also show that the number of vertices which should be added grows polynomially with the number of vertices in the original model.

Proteins share peptidic sequences, such as a nuclear localization signal (NLS), which guide them to particular membrane-bound compartments. Similarities have also been observed within different classes of signals that target proteins to membrane-less subnuclear compartments. Common localization signals affect spatial and temporal subcellular organization and are thought to allow the coordinated response of different molecular networks to a given signaling cue. Here we identify a higher-order and predictive code, {[RR(I/L)X3r](n, n≥1)+[L(φ/N)(V/L)](n,n>1)}, that establishes high-affinity interactions between a group of proteins and the nucleolus in response to a specific signal. This position-independent code is referred to as a nucleolar detention signal regulated by H+ (NoDSH+) and the class of proteins includes the cIAP2 apoptotic regulator, VHL ubiquitylation factor, HSC70 heat shock protein and RNF8 transcription regulator. By identifying a common subnuclear targeting consensus sequence, our work reveals rules governing the dynamics of subnuclear organization and ascribes new modes of regulation to several proteins with diverse steady-state distributions and dynamic properties.

Full textAbstract:
The Geological Survey of Canada, the oldest scientific organization in the nation, was founded in 1842, at a time when major changes were taking place in the sciences of geology, chemistry and biology. Geochemistry was not yet recognized as a science in North America, although the word had been coined and the field outlined in 1838 by C. F. Schönbein, the Swiss chemist. Thomas Sterry Hunt (1826-1892) was appointed chemist and mineralogist to the Geological Survey in 1847 by Sir William Logan, first director of the Survey. For the next 25 years Hunt carried out geochemical research on most aspects of the science and added materially to the establishment of various geological principles. Sterry Hunt has been called the "Father of Chemical Geology, or Geochemistry, in North America." Following Hunt, many able men, including B. J. Harrington, F. D. Adams, G. C. Hoffman, and R. A. A. Johnston occupied the position of chemist and mineralogist to the Survey during the period 1872-1922. They were followed by E. Poitevin and H. V. Ellsworth who served from 1922 until 1952. H. V. Ellsworth laid the foundations of 20th Century geochemistry in the Geological Survey. His extensive studies of the distribution of rare elements (e.g., Li, Zr, Nb, U, Th, etc.) in Canadian minerals and rocks, and his studies of geochronology employing uranium-lead methods, had universal significance in geochemistry.

Abstract The V regions of channel catfish H chain cDNA clones have been analyzed. Based upon sequence relationships and hybridization analyses, five different groups of VH genes are identified whose definition is consistent with that of five different VH families. Genomic Southern blots indicate that as many as 100 different germ-line VH genes are likely represented by these families. The sequence diversity between identified members of these different families is similar in magnitude to the divergence represented between members of different human or mouse VH families. The FR regions are the most conserved regions when members of different catfish VH families are compared; specific amino acid positions appear to be highly conserved in phylogeny. Equally important is that diversity is represented in complementarity-determining regions CDR1 and CDR2 in members of the different families as well as in members of the same VH family. These results suggest that an extensive repertoire of VH genes can contribute to antibody diversity in this lower vertebrate. Sequence comparisons indicate that one of the catfish VH families shares considerable structural similarity to several higher vertebrate VH gene families--a relationship which suggests that this VH family may be ancestral to some VH gene families of higher vertebrates. Characteristic of the genomic organization of higher vertebrate H chains, catfish appear to have different VH families wherein a VH gene likely undergoes functional recombination with putative DH gene segments and one of apparently several different JH segments. The recombined V region is expressed with the same C region gene. These combined results suggest that bony fishes are the earliest known phylogenetic representatives to have evolved extensive V region gene families.

Full textAbstract:
In Ukrainian linguistics, there have been various studies of special relationships to the individual subdivisions of linguistic terminology; the internal and inter-systemic semantic connections of terms, their special relations to commonly used forms, the formation and historical development of linguistic terminology, their origin and function, and the organization of systematic structures. More particularly, in the late 20th century, the study of various structural-semantic and functional features that appear in the study of Ukrainian terminology was intensified. Therefore, terminology will refer to the actual areas of linguistics, especially historical terminology. This article will provide an overview of the linguistic works of several Ukrainian scholars, including V. V. Derkach, O. A. Katsimon, N. A. Lyashuk, O. V. Medved, N. A. Moskalenko, L. V. Rohach, L. V. Turovska, H. M. Tsyhanok, Yu. A. Chernobrov, V. Y. Chykut, D. B. Yakymovych-Chapran, I. A. Yaroshevych, V. V. Zakharchyn, I. I. Ohiyenko, S. M. Polyuha, whose works consider the linguistic terminology from the 20th to the beginning of the 21 th century. The object is to give a dissertation of scientists of the 20th to the beginning of the 21th century and to analyze the subjects and the methods of these scholars’ works. This study looks at the impact of the work of these scholars and highlights their influence on the development of Ukrainian linguistics over the years. This is done through a categorization of the linguistic systems that these many of these scholars took interest in, as well as those that they did not, but may have overlooked. Some more detailed classification criteria are presented, including phonetical, grammatical, morphological, and syntactic terminological vocabularies and groups of terminologies that are used in the writings of specific scholars or in specific territories. This allows us to observe the development of Ukrainian terminology from various angles.

Full textAbstract:
To extend our knowledge on karyotype variation of the genus Vigna Savi, 1824, the chromosomal organization of rRNA genes and fluorochrome banding patterns of five wild Vigna species were studied. Sequential combined PI (propidium iodide) and DAPI (4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) (CPD) staining and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with 5S and 45S rDNA probes were used to analyze the karyotypes of V. luteola (Jacquin, 1771) Bentham, 1959, V. vexillata (Linnaeus, 1753) A. Richard, 1845, V. minima (Roxburgh, 1832) Ohwi & H. Ohashi, 1969, V. trilobata (Linnaeus, 1753) Verdcourt, 1968, and V. caracalla (Linnaeus, 1753) Verdcourt,1970. For further phylogenetic analysis, genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) with the genomic DNA of V. umbellata (Thunberg, 1794) Ohwi & H.Ohashi, 1969 onto the chromosomes of five wild Vigna species was also performed. Detailed karyotypes were established for the first time using chromosome measurements, fluorochrome bands, and rDNA-FISH signals. All species had chromosome number 2n = 2x = 22, and symmetrical karyotypes that composed of only metacentric or metacentric and submetacentric chromosomes. CPD staining revealed all 45S rDNA sites in the five species analyzed, (peri)centromeric GC-rich heterochromatin in V. luteola, V. trilobata and V. caracalla, interstitial GC-rich and pericentromeric AT-rich heterochromatin in V. caracalla. rDNA-FISH revealed two 5S loci in V. caracalla and one 5S locus in the other four species; one 45S locus in V. luteola and V. caracalla, two 45S loci in V. vexillata and V. trilobata, and five 45S loci in V. minima. The karyotypes of the studied species could be clearly distinguished by the karyotypic parameters, and the patterns of the fluorochrome bands and the rDNA sites, which revealed high interspecific variation among the five species. The V. umbellata genomic DNA probe produced weak signals in all proximal regions of V. luteola and all (peri)centromeric regions of V. trilobata. The combined data demonstrate that distinct genome differentiation has occurred among the five species during evolution. The phylogenetic relationships between the five wild species and related cultivated species of Vigna are discussed based on our present and previous molecular cytogenetic data.

The article highlights the main directions of Makarenko studies at Lviv University, namely the theoretical study of A. Makarenko's heritage, publishing activities, international cooperation, scientific and educational events, support of educational community in establishing the museums. Based on the analysis of the scientific collections "A. S. Makarenko", the author of the article summarizes the achievements and interests in the field of Makarenko studies of famous Lviv scholars H. Paperna, O. Nernovia, V. Savynets, and M. Hodyna. It was found that many articles on Makarenko’s achievements were published by Ye. Syavavko, A. Kukhta, I. Baiik, and a Lviv teacher Yu. Lvova, who for many years worked closely with the Department of Pedagogy and Psychology of Lviv University. It is investigated that H. Paperna's contribution was the study of the preconditions for the formation of A. Makarenko's worldview, his personal traits, which influenced the formation of non-standard approaches to working with pupils. In the field of her scholarly interests there was also the study of Makarenko's collective team, in particular the effectiveness of its functioning. V. Savynets and M. Hodyna were the first initiators of Makarenko studies in Western Ukraine. It was found that V. Savynets revealed the pedagogical value of Makarenko's innovations, argued the universality of his methods in working with children in the family, at school, and in special penitentiary institutions. M. Hodyna studied the psychology of A. Makarenko's activity and behavior. O. Nerovnia became one of the first who studied the issue of self-education of the pupils in correctional facilities or special boarding schools and singled out the requirements for the organization of their self-education. Yu. Lvova carried out the approbation of A.Makarenko’s ideas about the activity of youth groups (education of the leaders, the system of assignment, formation of traditions in the team). Thus, they enriched the historical and pedagogical science with new facts and conclusions, and most importantly, practically implemented the basic ideas and approaches of the famous pedagogue. Keywords: Lviv University, Makarenko studies, F. Naumenko, H. Paperna, O. Nerovnia, M. Hodyna, Yu. Lvova.

Full textAbstract:
Meiotic maturation in mammalian oocytes is a complex process which involves extensive rearrangement of microtubules, actin filaments and chromosomes. Since cytoskeletal elements are sensitive to disruption by heat shock, a series of experiments were performed to determine whether physiologically relevant heat shock disrupts the progression of the oocyte through meiosis, fertilization and zygote formation. Cumulus–oocyte complexes were cultured at 38.5, 40.0 or 41.0 °C for the first 12 h of maturation. Incubation during the last 10 h of maturation and 18 h after fertilization was at 38.5 °C and in 5% (v/v) CO2for both treatments. Examination of the cytoskeleton and the chromosome organization in matured oocytes revealed that oocytes matured at 38.5°C were mostly at metaphase II (MII) stage, while the majority of heat-shocked oocytes were blocked at the first metaphase (MI), first anaphase or first telophase stages. A subset of heat-shocked oocytes possessed misshapen MI spindles with disorganized microtubules and unaligned chromosomes. A higher percentage of TUNEL-positive oocytes was noted for oocytes matured at 41.0 °C. Addition of 50 nmol/l sphingosine 1-phosphate to maturation medium blocked the effect of heat shock on progression through meiosis and apoptosis and increased the proportion of oocytes matured at 41.0 °C that were at MII. Following insemination, a high percentage of heat-shocked oocytes were unfertilized, while the majority of the control zygotes were fertilized and had two visible pronuclei. In conclusion, heat shock disrupts nuclear maturation and induces apoptosis. These alterations are likely to be involved in the mechanism underlying heat-shock-induced disruption of oocyte capacity for fertilization and subsequent development.

Full textAbstract:
The “colored-brain thesis”, or strong qualitative physicalism, is discussed from historical and philosophical perspectives. This thesis was proposed by Thomas Case (1888), in a non-materialistic context, and is close to views explored by H. H. Price (1932) and E. Boring (1933). Using Mary’s room thought experiment, one can argue that physicalism implies qualitative physicalism. Qualitative physicalism involves three basic statements: (i) perceptual internalism, and realism of qualia; (ii) ontic physicalism, charaterized as a description in space, time, and scale; and (iii) mind-brain identity thesis. In addition, (iv) structuralism in physics, and distinguishing the present version from that suggested by H. Feigl and S. Pepper, (v) realism of the physical description. The “neurosurgeon argument” is presented, as to why the greenness of a visually perceived avocado, which (according to this view) is present in the brain as a physical-chemical attribute, would not be seen as green by a neurosurgeon who opens the observer’s skull. This conception is compared with two close views, Russellian (and Schlickian) monisms and panprotopsychism (including panqualityism). According to the strong qualitative physicalism presented here, the phenomenal experience of a quale q is identical to a physico-chemical quality q, which arises from a combination of (1) the materiality wassociated with the brain, and (2) the causal organization or structure of the relevant elements of the brain S, including in this organization the structure of the self: (Sw)q. The “explanatory gap” between mental and physical states is shifted to a gap between the physico-chemical qualities q and the organized materiality of a specific brain region (Sw)q, and is seen as being bridged only by a set of non-explanatory postulates. Keywords: Colored-brain thesis, qualitative physicalism, mind-brain identity thesis, qualia, panprotopsychism, sensorium.

A comparative study of lag phases and growth rates of healthy, stressed, and sublethally injured Escherichia coli O157 cells in 10 enrichment broths was performed. The evaluation of enrichment protocols was validated by different end point detection methods (two PCR and two combined capture-plate methods). Tryptic soy broth b [TSB (b)] provided the fastest growth (μmax = 1.00 ± 0.06 h−1) but failed to recover oxidative-stressed E. coli O157. TSB (a), TSB–yeast extract medium, TSB supplemented with 8 mg/liter novobiocin plus 16 mg/liter vancomycin (TSB+), buffered peptone water (BPW), and BPW supplemented with 8 mg/liter vancomycin (BPW+V) enabled resuscitation of E. coli O157 cells independent from precultural conditions. Modified TSB plus 10 mg/liter novobiocin (mTSB+N), EC medium, EC reduced bile salts medium (ECred), TSB (b), and TSB supplemented with 8 mg/liter novobiocin plus 16 mg/liter vancomycin plus 2 mg/liter rifampin plus 1 mg/liter K-Telluriet plus 1.5 g/liter bile salts no. 3 (TSB++) all failed to recover E. coli O157 cells for at least one type of stress. The use of TSB (a), TSB+, BPW, and BPW+V was compared with that of mTSB+N (International Organization for Standardization reference broth) for reliable detection of low numbers of healthy, stressed, and sublethally injured E. coli O157 (approximately 10 CFU/10 g) from foods (sprouted seeds, fermented sausage, raw milk, and raw ground beef). When low numbers of healthy cells were inoculated, BPW, BPW+V, TSB, TSB+, and mTSB+N enabled growth until detectable numbers within 6 h of enrichment at 41.5°C. Results showed that mTSB+N failed to recover to detectable numbers E. coli O157 cells sublethally injured by freeze and food stresses, in contrast to what was obtained with BPW and BPW+V. This study highlights that using mTSB+N for recovery of E. coli O157 from foods may yield false-negative results.

Purpose We examined the efficacy and safety of thalidomide (THD) for the prevention of delayed nausea and vomiting in patients who received highly emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC). Patients and Methods In a randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, phase III trial, chemotherapy-naive patients with cancer who were scheduled to receive HEC that contained cisplatin or cyclophosphamide-doxorubicin/epirubincin ≥ 50 mg/m2 regimens were randomly assigned to a THD group (100 mg twice daily on days 1 to 5) or placebo group, both with palonosetron (0.25 mg on day 1) and dexamethasone (12 mg on day 1; 8 mg on days 2 to 4). Primary end point was complete response to vomiting—no emesis or use of rescue medication—in the delayed phase (25 to 120 h). Nausea and anorexia on days 1 to 5 were evaluated by the 4-point Likert scale (0, no symptoms; 3, severe). Quality of life was assessed by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer QLQ-C30 version 3 questionnaire on days −1 and 6. Results Of 656 patients, 638 were evaluable: 317 in the THD group and 321 in the control group. Compared with placebo, delayed and overall (0 to 120 h) complete response rates to vomiting were significantly higher with THD: 76.9% versus 61.7% ( P < .001) and 66.1% versus 53.3% ( P = .001), respectively. Rates of no nausea were also higher in the THD group (delayed: 47.3% v 33.3%; P < .001; overall: 41% v 29.6%; P = .003), and mean scores of anorexia were lower overall (0.44 ± 0.717 v 0.64 ± 0.844; P = .003). Adverse effects were mild to moderate. The THD group had increased sedation, dizziness, constipation, and dry mouth, but experienced better quality of life after chemotherapy. Conclusion Thalidomide combined with palonosetron and dexamethasone significantly improved HEC-induced delayed nausea and vomiting prevention in chemotherapy-naive patients.

AbstractThe two-dimensional organization of receptive fields (RFs) of 44 cells in the cat visual cortex and four cells from the cat LGN was measured by stimulation with either dots or bars of light. The light bars were presented in different positions and orientations centered on the RFs. The RFs found were arbitrarily divided into four general types: Punctate, resembling DOG filters (11%); those resembling Gabor filters (9%); elongate (36%); and multipeaked-type (44%). Elongate RFs, usually found in simple cells, could show more than one excitatory band or bifurcation of excitatory regions. Although regions inhibitory to a given stimulus transition (e.g. ON) often coincided with regions excitatory to the opposite transition (e.g. OFF), this was by no means the rule. Measurements were highly repeatable and stable over periods of at least 1 h. A comparison between measurements made with dots and with bars showed reasonable matches in about 40% of the cases. In general, bar-based measurements revealed larger RFs with more structure, especially with respect to inhibitory regions. Inactivation of lower cortical layers (V-VI) by local GABA injection was found to reduce sharpness of detail and to increase both receptive-field size and noise in upper layer cells, suggesting vertically organized RF mechanisms. Across the population, some cells bore close resemblance to theoretically proposed filters, while others had a complexity that was clearly not generalizable, to the extent that they seemed more suited to detection of specific structures. We would speculate that the broadly varying forms of cat cortical receptive fields result from developmental processes akin to those that form ocular-dominance columns, but on a smaller scale.

Povzetek Prispevek predstavlja zgodovinski pregled odnosa med vojaško družino in vojaško organizacijo, od prepovedi, zanikanja in nadzora do vključitve v vojaško skupnost. Prelomnica v obravnavanju družine je prehod na poklicno popolnjevanje, ko postane lojalnost družine do vojske bistvena za pridobivanje in zadrževanje vojaškega osebja. Hkrati je vojaška družina postala zanimiva vojaškosociološka tematika raziskovanja, tako v kontekstu sociološkega koncepta požrešnih institucij kot v dihotomiji ravnotežja med delom in življenjem. Vojske, ki so nastajale na slovenskih tleh skozi zgodovino, so sledile svetovnim trendom glede obravnave družin, slovenski vojaški sociologi pa so prispevali pomemben delež spoznanj o slovenskih vojaških družinah h globalnim vojaškosociološkim dosežkom. Ključne besede Vojaška družina, zgodovina odnosa med družino in vojsko, celostna skrb za pripadnike SV, raziskovanje vojaških družin v vojaški sociologiji. Abstract This article presents the history of relations between the military family and the military organization, which have varied from forbiddance, to ignorance, regulation, and finally to inclusion in the military community. The turning point appeared at a time of introducing all volunteer force when the loyalty of families towards the military became important for recruitment and retention of service members. This was also the moment for military sociology to discover the military families as interesting to deploy the general sociological concepts of greedy institutions, work-life balance, negotiation between military and family, etc. The militaries in Slovenian territory followed these trends. Slovenian military sociologists contributed an important part of the knowledge of Slovenian military families to global social science achievements. Key words Military family, history of relations between military and family, comprehensive care for service members of the SAF, the research of military families in military sociology.

Full textAbstract:
Morbilliviruses are negative-sense single-stranded monosegmented RNA viruses in the family Paramyxoviridae (order Mononegavirales).Morbilliviruses infect diverse mammals including humans, dogs, cats, small ruminants, seals, and cetaceans, which serve as natural hosts. Here, I report the identification and characterization of novel viruses detected in public RNAseq datasets of South American long-haired and olive field mice. The divergent viruses dubbed Ratónoliváceo morbillivirus (RoMV) detected in renal samples from mice collected from Chile and Argentina are characterized by an unusually large genome including long intergenic regions and the presence of an accessory protein between the F and H genes redounding in a genome architecture consisting in 3′-N-P/V/C-M-F-hp-H-L-5′. Structural and functional annotation, genetic distance, and evolutionary insights suggest that RoMV is a member of a novel species within genus Morbillivirus tentatively named as South American mouse morbillivirus. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that this mouse morbillivirus is closely related to and clusters into a monophyletic group of novel rodent-borne morbilliviruses. This subclade of divergent viruses expands the host range, redefines the genomic organization and provides insights on the evolutionary history of genus Morbillivirus.

Full textAbstract:
Oocyte cryopreservation is a potentially valuable way of preserving female germ cells. However, to date the reported developmental competence of cryopreserved oocytes is low. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of demecolcine pretreatment on viability, timing of the first polar body extrusion (PBI), spindle, chromatin organization, and in vitro embryo development of ovine vitrified germinal vesicle (GV) oocytes after in vitro fertilization (IVF) and parthenogenetic activation. Cumulus-oocyte complexes (COC) aspirated from ovine ovaries collected at slaughter were selected and randomly divided into 3 groups: (1) untreated (in vitro matured, IVM) as a control, (2) vitrified (Moawad AR et al. 2009 Reprod. Fertil. Dev. 21, 135 abst), and (3) deme + vitrified (oocytes were incubated with 0.1 μg mL-1 demecolcine for 20 min before vitrification). After vitrification COC were thawed and matured in vitro for 24 h. Following IVM, oocytes from 3 groups were subsequently subjected to (1) immunostaining, (2) IVF, or (3) activation. Presumptive zygotes were cultured in vitro in SOF media for 7 days. Data were analyzed using chisquare and t-test. No significant differences (P > 0.05) were observed in survival rates between deme + vitrified (90.8%, 324/357) and vitrified (87.2%, 211/242). However, the numbers of oocytes with PBI in two vitrified groups at 18 h (20.4 and 8.5 v. 47.1%) and 24 h post IVM (51 and 43.2 v. 88.5%) were significantly lower (P < 0.01) than those in the control. Percentage of normal spindle and chromatin configuration in the two vitrified groups also significantly decreased (P < 0.05) compared with those in the control (42.5 and 41.8 v. 76.5%), whereas missing spindle in the 2 vitrified groups significantly increased (P < 0.001) compared with the controls (47.5 and 32.7 v. 3.9%). Following IVF (pi), cleavage rates at 24.48 hpi and morula development (5 days pi) were significantly lower (P < 0.001) in deme + vitrified (6.1, 43.1, and 28.5%) and vitrified groups (3.3, 30.1, and 22.9%) than control (50.4, 82.4, and 46.4%). Blastocyst development in deme + vitrified (9.8%) and control (33.6%) was significantly higher (P < 0.01) than in vitrified group (1.3%). Hatched blastocysts were observed only in deme + vitrified and control groups (4.9 v. 12.8%). In addition, post activation (pa) cleavage rates in deme + vitrified (10.3 v. 40.7%) and control (52.5 v. 76.7%) at 24 and 48 hpa were significantly higher (P < 0.05) than those in the vitrified group. Blastocyst development in deme + vitrified (4.8%) was higher than that in the vitrified group (1.8%), but not significant (P > 0.05); however, these values were still significantly lower (P < 0.001) than those in the control (24.2%). No significant differences were observed in total cell numbers per blastocyst between all the groups. Taken together, these results suggest that pretreatment of oocytes with demecolcine before vitrification could improve the developmental competence of ovine vitrified-thawed GV-stage oocytes. A. R.

Self-organization of a two-dimensional array of nanopores, which was formed by anodic oxidation of aluminum, was investigated quantitatively using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images and their fast Fourier transformation analysis. The highly ordered array of nanopores with diameters of ~60 nm was obtained by two-step anodization at an anodizing voltage of 40 V for an anodizing time of 36 h in a 0.3 M oxalic acid. A two-dimensional ordered array of ferroelectric PbTiO3 nanotubes was successfully fabricated by a spin coating of sol-gel solution into porous anodic alumina template. SEM and transmission electron microscopy images show that the nanotubes have a relatively constant wall thickness of ~15 nm with an outer diameter of ~60 nm. The present method has a high efficiency to fabricate an ordered nanotube array of a variety of functional metal oxide materials in a large area.
