Abstract:

Magneto-optic ellipsometry in the longitudinal Kerr configuration was performed to determine the complex permittivity tensor of the Co and SmCo thin films within the spectral range from 400nm to 1000nm. The Co film was a middle layer in a Au/Co/Au trilayer structure. Magneto-optical response was analyzed in terms of Mueller matrix elements. Reduced magneto-optical response of the Co layer is explained by influence of the gold top layer of the trilayer structure. Full Text: PDF ReferencesM.

Abstract:

Hydrangea macrophylla (Thunb.) Ser., known as mophead hydrangea, is native to Japan and is used as a potted ornamental or is planted for landscaping in gardens worldwide. In May 2011, powdery mildew occurred on potted mophead hydrangea cv. Emerald plants in polyethylene-film-covered greenhouses in Icheon, Korea. Heavily infected plantings were unmarketable, mainly due to purplish red discoloration and crinkling of leaves. Such powdery mildew symptoms on mophead hydrangea in gardens had been often found in Korea since 2001, and the collections (n = 10) were deposited in the Korea University herbarium (KUS). In all cases, there was no trace of chasmothecia formation. Mycelium was effuse on both sides of leaves, young stems, and flower petals. Appressoria were well developed, lobed, and solitary or in opposite pairs. Conidiophores were cylindrical, 70 to 145 × 7.5 to 10 μm, and composed of three to four cells. Foot-cells of conidiophores were straight to sub-straight, cylindric, short, and mostly less than 30 μm long. Conidia produced singly were ellipsoid to oval, 32 to 50 × 14 to 22 μm with a length/width ratio of 1.7 to 2.8, lacked fibrosin bodies, and showed angular/rectangular wrinkling of outer walls. Germ tubes were produced on the perihilar position of conidia. Primary conidia were apically conical, basally rounded to subtruncate, 32 to 42 × 14 to 18 μm, and thus generally smaller than the secondary conidia. The morphological characteristics are consistent with previous descriptions of Oidium hortensiae Jørst. (3,4). To confirm the identification, the complete internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of rDNA from KUS-F25514 was amplified with primers ITS5 and P3 and directly sequenced. The resulting sequence of 694 bp was deposited in GenBank (Accession No. JQ669944). There was no ITS sequence data known from powdery mildews on Hydrangea. Therefore, this is the first sequence of O. hortensiae submitted to GenBank. Nevertheless, a GenBank BLAST search of this sequence showed >99% similarity with those of Oidium spp. recorded on crassulacean hosts (e.g. GenBank Accession Nos. EU185641 ex Sedum, EU185636 ex Echeveria, and EU185639 ex Dudleya) (2), suggesting their close phylogenetic relationship. Pathogenicity was confirmed through inoculation by gently pressing diseased leaves onto leaves of five healthy potted mophead hydrangea cv. Emerald plants. Five noninoculated plants of the same cultivar served as controls. Plants were maintained in a greenhouse at 22 ± 2°C. Inoculated plants developed signs and symptoms after 6 days, whereas the control plants remained healthy. The fungus present on the inoculated plants was morphologically identical to that originally observed on diseased plants, fulfilling Koch's postulates. Occurrence of powdery mildew disease on mophead hydrangea is circumglobal (1). To our knowledge, this is the first report of powdery mildew disease caused by O. hortensiae on mophead hydrangea in Korea. Powdery mildew infections in Korea pose a serious threat to the continued production of quality potted mophead hydrangea in polyethylene-film-covered greenhouses. References: (1) D. F. Farr and A. Y.

Abstract:

We define a notion of quantum automorphism groups of graph [Formula: see text]-algebras for finite, connected graphs. Under the assumption that the underlying graph does not have any multiple edge or loop, the quantum automorphism group of the underlying directed graph in the sense of Banica [Quantum automorphism groups of homogeneous graphs, J. Funct. Anal. 224 (2005) 243–280] (which is also the symmetry object in the sense of [S. Schmidt and M. Weber, Quantum symmetry of graph [Formula: see text]-algebras, arXiv:1706.08833 ] is shown to be a quantum subgroup of quantum automorphism group in our sense. Quantum symmetries for some concrete graph [Formula: see text]-algebras have been computed.

Abstract:

The 48-inch Oschin Schmidt telescope at Palomar Observatory was used to obtain the first deep, optical, wide-field survey, covering almost two-thirds of the sky between November 1949 and December 1958 (with plates for the Whiteoak extension, to δ c = −42°, taken in 1964/5). The original survey was taken in two passbands — wide blue and narrow red — on 103a emulsion, and covers one hemisphere in 643 fields with a spacing of 6 degrees between centres. In 1987, plate-taking started for the second Palomar Sky Survey, POSS II, which is intended to cover the northern hemisphere in three passbands, blue (IIIa-J + GG385 filter), red (IIIa-F + RG610) and near-infrared (IVN + RG9). Given the extremely restricted overlap between fields in the old survey, we have followed the example of the UK Schmidt ESO/SERC surveys and have adopted a 5-degree spacing between fields. To date (31.7.93), we have acquired plates of acceptable quality for 597 fields (67%) of the IIIa-J survey, 668 fields (75%) of the IIIa-F and 253 fields (28%) of the IVN.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Infection of cells by herpesviruses is initiated by the interaction of viral envelope glycoproteins with cellular receptors. In the alphaherpesvirus pseudorabies virus (PrV), the causative agent of Aujeszky's disease in pigs, the essential glycoprotein D (gD) mediates secondary attachment of virions to target cells by binding to newly identified cellular receptors (R. J. Geraghty, C. Krummenacher, G. H. Cohen, R. J. Eisenberg, and P. G. Spear, Science 280:1618–1620, 1998). However, in the presence of compensatory mutations, infection can also occur in the absence of gD, as evidenced by the isolation in cell culture of an infectious gD-negative PrV mutant (PrV-gD− Pass) (J. Schmidt, B. G. Klupp, A. Karger, and T. C. Mettenleiter, J. Virol. 71:17–24, 1997). PrV-gD− Pass is replication competent with an only moderate reduction in specific infectivity but appears to bind to receptors different from those recognized by wild-type PrV (A. Karger, J. Schmidt, and T. C. Mettenleiter, J. Virol. 72:7341–7348, 1998). To analyze whether this alteration in receptor usage in vitro influences infection in vivo, the model host mouse and the natural host pig were intranasally infected with PrV-gD− Pass and were compared to animals infected by wild-type PrV. For mice, a comparable progress of disease was observed, and all animals infected with mutant virus died, although they exhibited a slight delay in the onset of symptoms and, correspondingly, a longer time to death. In contrast, whereas wild-type PrV-infected pigs showed clinical signs and histological and histopathological findings typical of PrV infection, no signs of disease were observed after infection with PrV-gD− Pass. Moreover, in these animals, virus-infected cells were not detectable by immunohistochemical staining of different organ samples and no virus could be isolated from nasal swabs. Mutations in glycoproteins B and H were found to correlate with, and probably contribute to, gD-independent infectivity. In conclusion, although PrV-gD− Pass is virulent in mice, it is apparently unable to infect the natural host, the pig. This altered host range in vivo correlates with a difference of receptor usage in vitro and demonstrates for the first time the importance of gD receptors in alphaherpesvirus infection of an animal host.

Abstract:

This article responds to and extends the commentaries on the psychology of competitive advantage focal article. In general, the commentaries stressed that (a) the connection between industrial–organizational (I–O) psychology and strategy should go beyond resource-based theory and competitive advantage, (b) there are some existing examples of strategic I–O research, and (c) practitioners are already integrating I–O psychology with strategy. In this article, I use these commentaries as a means of generating actionable steps (e.g., research studies) to make the strategic adjacent possibility a reality. I conclude by arguing that understanding the psychology underlying firm competitiveness is the defining question of our time, and perhaps even the future of I–O psychology.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The murine leukemia retrovirus SL3-3 induces lymphomas in the T-cell compartment of the hematopoetic system when it is injected into newborn mice of susceptible strains. Previously, our laboratory reported on a deletion mutant of SL3-3 that induces T-cell tumors faster than the wild-type virus (S. Ethelberg, A. B. Sørensen, J. Schmidt, A. Luz, and F. S. Pedersen, J. Virol. 71:9796-9799, 1997). PCR analyses of proviral integrations in the promoter region of the c-myc proto-oncogene in lymphomas induced by wild-type SL3-3 [SL3-3(wt)] and the enhancer deletion mutant displayed a difference in targeting frequency into this locus. We here report on patterns of proviral insertions into the c-myc promoter region from SL3-3(wt), the faster variant, as well as other enhancer variants from a total of approximately 250 tumors. The analysis reveals (i) several integration site hot spots in the c-myc promoter region, (ii) differences in integration patterns between SL3-3(wt) and enhancer deletion mutant viruses, (iii) a correlation between tumor latency and the number of proviral insertions into the c-myc promoter, and (iv) a [5′-(A/C/G)TA(C/G/T)-3′] integration site consensus sequence. Unexpectedly, about 12% of the sequenced insertions were associated with point mutations in the direct repeat flanking the provirus. Based on these results, we propose a model for error-prone gap repair of host-provirus junctions.

Pharmacologically induced rhythmic hindlimb activity, monitored via flexor and extensor electroneurograms or ventral root recordings, was abolished by 5-HT receptor antagonists. Intrinsic motoneuronal voltage oscillations, induced by NMDA in the presence of tetrodotoxin (TTX), either were abolished completely or transformed to long-lasting voltage shifts by 5-HT receptor antagonists. Conversely, 5-HT application facilitated the expression of NMDA-receptor–mediated rhythmic voltage oscillations. The results suggest that an interplay between 5-HT and NMDA receptor actions may be critical for the production of rhythmic motor behavior in the mammalian spinal cord, both at the network and single cell level.

Abstract:

The intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has been shown to be responsible for many of the pleiotropic intracellular effects resulting from ligand stimulation [W.S. Chen, C.S. Lazar, M. Poenie, R.Y. Tsien, G.N. Gill, and M.G. Rosenfeld, Nature (London) 328:820-823, 1987; A.M. Honegger, D. Szapary, A. Schmidt, R. Lyall, E. Van Obberghen, T.J. Dull, A. Ulrich, and J. Schlessinger, Mol. Cell. Biol. 7:4568-4571, 1987]. Recently, however, it has been shown that addition of ligand to cells expressing kinase-defective EGFR mutants can result in the phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (R. Campos-González and J.R. Glenney, Jr., J. Biol. Chem. 267:14535-14538, 1992; E. Selva, D.L. Raden, and R.J. Davis, J. Biol. Chem. 268:2250-2254, 1993), as well as stimulation of DNA synthesis (K.J. Coker, J.V. Staros, and C.A. Guyer, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 91:6967-6971, 1994). Moreover, mitogen-activated protein kinase has been shown to phosphorylate the transcription factor p62TCF in vitro, leading to enhanced ternary complex formation between p62TCF, p67SRF, and the c-fos serum response element (SRE) [H. Gille, A.D. Sharrocks, and P.E. Shaw, Nature (London) 358:414-417, 1992]. On the basis of these observations, we have investigated the possibility that the intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity of the EGFR may not be necessary for transcriptional activation mediated via p62TCF. Here, we demonstrate that a kinase-defective EGFR mutant can signal ligand-induced expression of c-fos protein and that a significant component of this induction appears to be mediated at the transcriptional level. Investigation of transcriptional activation mediated by the c-fos SRE shows that this response is impaired by mutations in the SRE which eliminate binding of p62(TCF). These data indicate that information inherent in the structure of the EGFR can be accessed by ligand stimulation independent of the receptor's catalytic kinase function.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Initiation of herpesvirus infection requires attachment of virions to the host cell followed by fusion of virion envelope and cellular cytoplasmic membrane during penetration. In several alphaherpesviruses, glycoprotein C (gC) is the primary attachment protein, interacting with cell-surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans. Secondary binding is mediated by gD, which, normally, is also required for penetration. Recently, we described the isolation of a gD-negative infectious pseudorabies virus (PrV) mutant, PrV gD− Pass (J. Schmidt, B. G. Klupp, A. Karger, and T. C. Mettenleiter, J. Virol. 71:17–24, 1997). In PrV gD− Pass, attachment and penetration occur in the absence of gD. To assess the importance of specific attachment for infectivity of PrV gD− Pass, the gene encoding gC was deleted, resulting in mutant PrV gCD− Pass. Deletion of both known attachment proteins reduced specific infectivity compared to wild-type PrV by more than 10,000-fold. Surprisingly, the virus mutant still retained significant infectivity and could be propagated on normal noncomplementing cells, indicating the presence of another receptor-binding virion protein. Selection of bovine kidney (MDBK) cells resistant to infection by PrV gCD− Pass resulted in the isolation of a cell clone, designated NB, which was susceptible to infection by wild-type PrV but refractory to infection by either PrV gCD− Pass or PrV gD− Pass, a defect which could partially be overcome by polyethylene glycol (PEG)-induced membrane fusion. However, even after PEG-induced infection plaque formation of PrV gCD− Pass or PrV gD− Pass did not ensue in NB cells. Also, phenotypic gD complementation of PrV gCD− Pass or PrV gD−Pass rescued the defect in infection of NB cells but did not restore plaque formation. Glycosaminoglycan analyses of MDBK and NB cells yielded identical results, and NB cells were normally susceptible to infection by other alphaherpesviruses as well as vesicular stomatitis virus. Infectious center assays after PEG-induced infection of NB cells with PrV gD− Pass on MDBK cells indicated efficient exit of virions from infected NB cells. Together, our data suggest the presence of another receptor and receptor-binding virion protein which can mediate PrV entry and cell-to-cell spread in MDBK cells.

Microneurography techniques were used to record action potentials from unmyelinated nerve fibers (C fibers) in the cutaneous fascicles of the peroneal nerve in healthy volunteers. C units were identified by their long latency responses to electrical stimulation of their terminals in the skin. Their responsiveness to mechanical or heat stimuli applied to the skin or to sympathetic reflex provocation tests was determined by transient slowing of conduction velocity following activation (marking technique). In a sample of 381 C units, 59 were unresponsive to mechanical and thermal stimulation of their endings, but responded to sympathetic reflex provocation tests, e.g., arousal or deep inspiration. They were classified as sympathetic efferent units. On average, conduction velocities of sympathetic units were lower (0.78 ± 0.12 m/s, mean ± SD) than those of mechano-heat (CMH) or mechanoresponsive (CM) afferent C units (0.91 ± 0.14 m/s). Endings of most of the sympathetic units were located in the skin of toes or in the foot dorsum. Innervation territories of 16 sympathetic units were mapped by means of conditioning transcutaneous electrical stimuli. Twelve units had one continuous skin territory, whereas two units had two and two other units had three and five separate territories, respectively. The mean innervated area was 128 mm2 (range: 24–350 mm2). Innervation territories of sympathetic units were of approximately the same size in different skin regions on the lower leg, foot, or toes. Based on responses to whole body cooling and warming, two units were tentatively classified as vasoconstrictor and sudomotor units, respectively. Eleven units were tested for responsiveness to iontophoresis of acetylcholine in their innervation territories. In five of them, activity was induced that was not due to central reflex activity but instead due to antidromic activation from the peripheral terminals. Iontophoresis of saline or histamine was ineffective. These findings confirm the existence of excitatory cholinergic receptors in the terminal membrane of some sympathetic units, possibly sudomotors.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Recently, Escherichia coli cytotoxic necrotizing factor 1 (CNF1) was shown to activate the low-molecular-mass GTPase RhoA by deamidation of Gln63, thereby inhibiting intrinsic and GTPase-activating protein (GAP)-stimulated GTPase activities (G. Schmidt, P. Sehr, M. Wilm, J. Selzer, M. Mann, and K. Aktories, Nature 387:725–729, 1997; G. Flatau, E. Lemichez, M. Gauthier, P. Chardin, S. Paris, C. Fiorentini, and P. Boquet, Nature 387:729–733, 1997). Here we report that in addition to RhoA, Cdc42 and Rac also are targets for CNF1 in vitro and in intact cells. Treatment of HeLa cells with CNF1 induced a transient formation of microspikes and formation of membrane ruffles. CNF1 caused a transient 10- to 50-fold increase in the activity of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase. Tryptic peptides of Cdc42 obtained from CNF1-treated cells by immunoprecipitation exhibited an increase in mass of 1 Da compared to control peptides, indicating the deamidation of glutamine 61 by the toxin. The same increase in mass was observed with the respective peptides obtained from CNF1-modified recombinant Cdc42 and Rac1. Modification of recombinant Cdc42 and Rac1 by CNF1 inhibited intrinsic and GAP-stimulated GTPase activities and retarded binding of 2′(3′)- O-(N -methylanthraniloyl)GDP. The data suggest that recombinant as well as cellular Cdc42 and Rac are substrates for CNF1.

Abstract:

Research background: The paper investigates the earnings management phenomenon in the context of Central European countries, attempting to identify the factors and incentives that can influence earnings management behavior on a sample of 8,156 enterprises from Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland. Purpose of the article: The main purpose of the manuscript is to prove that there are significant differences in earnings management practices (measured by discretionary accruals) across the countries and to find the firm-specific features that influence the way enterprises manage their earnings. Methods: The modified Jones model was used to calculate the discretionary accruals, which are further analyzed across the countries. The statistically significant differences were confirmed across the countries. Thus, the impact of the economic sector, firm size, firm age, legal form, and ownership structure on earnings management behavior is studied by the Kruskal-Wallis test. The Dunn-Bonferroni post hoc tests then revealed the significant differences across the categories of the investigated earnings management determinants. To find the association between the particular earnings management practice (income-increasing or income-decreasing manipulation), correspondence analysis was used to visualize the mutual relations. Findings & value added: The results of the realized investigation revealed that the economic sector is one of the most important earnings management determinants, as its statistical significance was confirmed in each analyzed country. The correspondence analysis determined specific sectors, where income-increasing manipulation with earnings is practiced (NACE codes F, J, K, M, N), and vice versa, income-decreasing earnings management is characteristic for enterprises in sectors A, C, D, G or L. In specific economic conditions, firm size is also a relevant indicator (Hungary), or firm age and legal form and ownership structure (Poland). The recognition of crucial earnings management incentives may be helpful for authorities, policymakers, analysts and auditors when identifying various techniques and practices of earnings manipulation which could vary across the sectors and taking necessary measures to mitigate potential financial risks.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The cytotoxic necrotizing factor 1 (CNF1) from Escherichia coli has been shown to activate members of the Rho family by deamidation of glutamine 63. This amino acid is essential for hydrolysis of GTP, and any substitution results in a constitutively active Rho. Activation of Rho induces the formation of stress fibers, filopodia, and membrane ruffles due to activation of RhoA, Cdc42, and Rac, respectively. Here we show that the level of endogenous Rac decreased in CNF1-treated HEK293 and HeLa cells. The amount of mRNA remained unaffected, leaving the possibility that Rac is subject to proteolytic degradation. Treatment of cells with lactacystin, an inhibitor of the 26S proteasome, protected Rac from degradation. We have previously shown that CNF1 activates the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) only transiently in HeLa cells (M. Lerm, J. Selzer, A. Hoffmeyer, U. R. Rapp, K. Aktories, and G. Schmidt, Infect. Immun. 67:496-503, 1998). Here we show that CNF1-induced JNK activation is stabilized in the presence of lactacystin. The data indicate that Rac is degraded by a proteasome-dependent pathway in CNF1-treated cells.

Abstract:

Platelet adhesion on von Willebrand factor (vWf) requires the co-ordinated adhesive function of glycoprotein Ib/V/IX and integrin αIIbβ3. Recent evidence [Nesbitt, Kulkarni, Giuliano, Gonclaves, Dopheide, Yap, Harper, Salem and Jackson (2002) J. Biol. Chem. 277, 2965–2972] suggests that outside-in signals from both receptors play important roles in regulating platelet-adhesion dynamics under flow. In the present study, we have examined the mechanisms utilized by protein kinase C (PKC) to promote irreversible platelet adhesion on vWf. We demonstrate that PKC is primarily activated downstream of integrin αIIbβ3, not glycoprotein Ib, during platelet adhesion on vWf. This integrin αIIbβ3-dependent PKC activation establishes a positive-feedback loop that promotes further integrin αIIbβ3 activation, calcium mobilization and firm platelet adhesion. This feedback loop appears to be most relevant at relatively low cytosolic calcium concentrations (mean Δ[Ca2+]i~100 nM) as artificially elevating calcium (mean Δ[Ca2+]i > 500 nM) induces integrin αIIbβ3 activation and irreversible platelet adhesion independent of PKC. Our studies demonstrate the existence of a complex signalling relationship operating between PKC, cytosolic calcium and integrin αIIbβ3 that serves to regulate platelet-adhesion dynamics under flow. Furthermore, we have established the existence of PKC-dependent and -independent pathways regulating integrin αIIbβ3 activation and stable platelet adhesion on vWf.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Long after their original discovery, termite gut spirochetes were recently isolated in pure culture for the first time. They revealed metabolic capabilities hitherto unknown in the Spirochaetes division of the Bacteria, i.e., H2 plus CO2 acetogenesis (J. R. Leadbetter, T. M. Schmidt, J. R. Graber, and J. A. Breznak, Science 283:686-689, 1999) and dinitrogen fixation (T. G. Lilburn, K. S. Kim, N. E. Ostrom, K. R. Byzek, J. R. Leadbetter, and J. A. Breznak, Science 292:2495-2498, 2001). However, application of specific epithets to the strains isolated (Treponema strains ZAS-1, ZAS-2, and ZAS-9) was postponed pending a more complete characterization of their phenotypic properties. Here we describe the major properties of strain ZAS-9, which is readily distinguished from strains ZAS-1 and ZAS-2 by its shorter mean cell wavelength or body pitch (1.1 versus 2.3 μm), by its nonhomoacetogenic fermentation of carbohydrates to acetate, ethanol, H2, and CO2, and by 7 to 8% dissimilarity between its 16S rRNA sequence and those of ZAS-1 and ZAS-2. Strain ZAS-9 is proposed as the type strain of the new species, Treponema azotonutricium. Strains ZAS-1 and ZAS-2, which are H2-consuming, CO2-reducing homoacetogens, are proposed here to be two strains of the new species Treponema primitia. Apart from the salient differences mentioned above, the genomes of all three strains were similar in size (3,461 to 3,901 kb), in G+C content (50.0 to 51.0 mol%), and in possession of 2 copies of the gene encoding 16S rRNA (rrs). For comparison, the genome of the free-living spirochete Spirochaeta aurantia strain J1 was analyzed by the same methods and found to have a size of 3,719 kb, to contain 65.6 mol% G+C, and also to possess 2 copies of the rrs gene.

Schmidt, Roland, Martin Schmelz, Matthias Ringkamp, Hermann O. Handwerker, and H. Erik Torebjörk. Innervation territories of mechanically activated C nociceptor units in human skin. J. Neurophysiol. 78: 2641–2648, 1997. Innervation territories of single mechanically activated C nociceptors in the skin of the leg and foot were explored in normal human subjects. Microneurographic recordings were obtained in the peroneal nerve from 70 mechano-heat responsive (CMH) and 7 mechano-(but not heat) responsive (CM) units. Units were identified by their constant long-latency response to intracutaneous electrical stimulation of their terminals. Responsiveness to mechanical, heat, or transcutaneous electrical stimuli was verified by transient slowing of conduction velocity after activation by such stimuli. We determined their thresholds to mechanical stimuli (mean 33.7 mN, median 30 mN, range 3–750 mN) and heat (mean 42.5°C, median 42.5°C, range 37–49°C). Most mechano-receptive fields (mRFs) were found on the foot dorsum (60 units) and some on the lower leg (14 units) and toes (3 units). Most units had one continuous mRF, but 10 units had more complex fields. Areas of mRFs mapped with a von Frey filament (750 mN) ranged from 10 to 363 mm2 (mean, 106 mm2). The mRFs were oval or irregularly shaped with greatest diameters ranging from 3 to 45 mm. Mean areas of mRFs were largest on the lower leg (198 mm2), smaller on the foot dorsum (88 mm2), and smallest on the toes (35 mm2). Forty-nine of the 77 units had identical mRFs and electro-receptive fields (eRFs). Twenty-six units had larger eRFs than mRFs, whereas the opposite was found for two units only. Areas of eRFs ranged from 16 to 511 mm2 (mean 121 mm2). An estimate of the innervation density based on the present data and the presumed number of C fibers in cutaneous fascicles of the peroneal nerve suggests a considerable overlap of nociceptive endings in the skin. Such overlapping nociceptor innervation in the skin allows for substantial spatial summation in response to punctate noxious stimuli, which may be a prerequisite for high accuracy in localizing painful events from a C-fiber input. The reduction in size of innervation territories distally allows for finer discrimination of spatial dimensions of noxious stimuli distally as compared with proximal regions of the extremities. Mean maximal diameters of the mechano-receptive fields of CMH and CM units on the lower leg (22.3 mm) and foot (15.3 mm) are of similar size as the radius of axon reflex flares evoked by noxious mechanical stimuli in these regions.

Abstract:

We quantified effects of future climate warming on temperature and stability in a variably stratified, hypereutrophic reservoir with large fluctuations in water level by calibrating a 2-D model (CE-QUAL-W2, version 3.7.1, Portland State University, Portland, USA) of reservoir hydrodynamics using a time series (1992 to 2011) of inflow and air and water temperature. The model was then forced with increased air temperature projected by an ensemble of climate models that accounted for complex local topography and seasonality, with greater warming in summer. Warming increased annual evaporation rates by 2.6 to 7.9%. Water temperature increased by 0.44 (whole-reservoir; p < 0.05), 0.47 (epilimnion; p < 0.01), and 0.30 °C (hypolimnion; p < 0.05) per 1 °C increase in air temperature. Thickness of the epilimnion and hypolimnion diminished, with expansion of the metalimnion. Schmidt stability correlated with mean water depth over a wide range of depths (3.9 to 8.1 m; Adj. R2 = 0.91 to 0.93; p < 0.001). Increased air temperature increased mean annual stability by 6.1 to 23.6 J m−2 when depth was large and the reservoir stratified, but when depth was low (due to combined low inflow and, in preceding years, high withdrawals), inhibiting stratification, then water temperatures increased evenly (and more) throughout the vertical profile so change in mean annual stability was near zero (−0.1 to 1.1 J m−2). Combined effects of reservoir management (volume, timing, and elevation of water withdrawal) and climate warming (temperature of air and benthic sediment) can impact the hydrodynamic regime differently under variably stratified conditions with implications for release of phosphorus from sediment and vertical transport of phosphorus to the euphotic zone.

Recruitment in a changing environment: the 2000s North Sea herring recruitment failure. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 66: 272–277. Environmentally induced change appears to be impacting the recruitment of North Sea herring (Clupea harengus). Despite simultaneously having a large adult population, historically low exploitation, and Marine Stewardship Council accreditation (implying sustainability), there have been an unprecedented 6 sequential years of poor juvenile production (recruitment). Analysis suggests that the poor recruitment arises during the larval overwintering phase, with recent survival rates greatly reduced. Contemporary warming of the North Sea has caused significant changes in the plankton community, and a recently identified regime shift around 2000 shows close temporal agreement with the reduced larval survival. It is, therefore, possible that we are observing the first consequences of this planktonic change for higher trophic levels. There is no indication of a recovery in recruitment in the short term. Fishing mortality is currently outside the agreed management plan, and forecasts show a high risk of the stock moving outside safe biological limits soon, potentially precipitating another collapse of the stock. However, bringing the realized fishing mortality back in line with the management plan would likely alleviate the problem. This illustrates again that recruitment is influenced by more than just spawning-stock biomass, and that changes in other factors can be of equal, or even greater, importance. In such dynamically changing environments, recent management success does not necessarily guarantee future sustainability.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Aim To present a unique case of ectopic orbital meningioma presenting in anteroinferior part of orbit. Introduction Primary orbital meningiomas arise from the optic nerve sheath and constitute 10 to 30% of orbital meningiomas. Secondary orbital meningiomas represent 70 to 90% of orbital meningiomas and are the direct extension of intracranial meningiomas into the orbit. Rarely, ectopic rests of arachnoid cells give rise to meningiomas separate from optic nerve sheath. Ectopic orbit meningioma is a rare tumor arising from ectopic arachnoidal tissue. The present case report describes an elderly patient with ectopic orbital meningioma in anteroinferior quadrant. Case report A 70-year-old female patient presented with slowly growing mass in the inferior part of right orbit. This lesion was firm in consistency and not fixed to skin or bone. Computed tomography scan showed a homogeneous mass lesion in anteroinferior part of right orbit without any bony changes. The orbital mass was excised. Anatomic-pathologic evaluation of the excised specimen revealed a benign meningioma of a meningotheliomatous type. Conclusion Ectopic orbital meningioma may present in elderly patients in anteroinferior orbit. Clinical significance An ectopic orbital meningioma should be considered in differential diagnosis of firm orbital mass presenting in anteroinferior orbit.

Presynaptic adenosine receptors inhibit transmitter release at many synapses and are known to exist on retinotectal terminals. In this paper we show that adenosine decreases retinotectal field potentials by ∼30% and investigate the mechanism. First, as judged by the effects of specific calcium channel blockers, retinotectal transmission was mediated almost exclusively by N-type calcium channels, which are known to be modulated by adenosine A1 receptors. Transmission was completely blocked by either ω-Conotoxin GVIA (−100%, N-type blocker) or ω-Conotoxin MVIIC (−99%, N-, P- and Q-type blocker) and was not significantly affected by ω-Agatoxin IVA [+1.7 ± 9.3% (SE), P-,Q-type blocker], but was augmented slightly by nifedipine(+9.3 ± 2.1%, L-type blocker). Second, the adenosine inhibition was presynaptic, as indicated by a 43% increase in paired-pulse facilitation. Third, the selective A1 agonist cyclohexyl adenosine (CHA) at 50 nM caused a 21% decrease in amplitude and the selective A2 agonist N 6-[2-(3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-(2-methylphenyl)-ethyl]adenosine (DPMA) at 100 nM caused a 24% increase. Fourth, the selective A1 antagonist 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (DPCPX) alone produced an increase in the field potential, suggesting a tonic inhibition mediated by endogenous adenosine. Fifth, pertussis toxin eliminated adenosine inhibition implicating Gi or Go protein coupling. Sixth, C-kinase activation eliminated the A1-mediated inhibition. In regenerating projections, adenosine also caused a decrease in transmission (−30 ± 12%), but after induction of long-term potentiation (LTP) via trains of stimuli or via treatment with the phosphatase inhibitor okadaic acid, the adenosine response was converted to an augmentation. Because LTP is associated with C-kinase activation, this is consistent with C-kinase uncoupling the A1 receptor from inhibiting N-type Ca2+ channels. This uncovers the A2-mediated augmentation as demonstrated in normals with DPMA. Such an effect could account in part for the LTP of immature synapses and the change from rapidly fatiguing to robust synaptic transmission.

Abstract:

The Oram firm was really a different animal. We cherished a strong anticorporate corporate culture, we were cause-driven, and we served liberal and left-wing counter-cultural organizations.Since its founding in 1939, the Oram Group has been a maverick in the field of fundraising, lending its expertise to the areas of education, welfare, social action, civil rights, the arts, and the environment. Beginning with the organization's founder, Harold Oram, continuing to the current president and chief executive officer Henry Goldstein, Oram staff members have had an interest in supporting progressive (i.e., social justice-oriented) causes. Influenced by Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal policies and Lyndon B. Johnson's vision of a Great Society, the Oram Group staff has been steadfast in its dedication, with founder Harold Oram referring to the organization's work as “saving the world.” This approach was different from that of earlier fundraising organizations, such as Marts and Lundy or John Price Jones—firms that worked, by and large, with elite white institutions and with black colleges under the direction of white philanthropists. For example, according to Robert L . Payton, for Arnaud C. Marts [and his colleagues at Marts and Lundy],Philanthropy [was] closely linked to the free market economy, local government, and individual responsibility. The emerging civil rights movement, the decay of the inner cities, environmental pollution, and the radical challenges to authority were not yet part of Mart's [sic] consciousness nor of the general public's. Freedom and patriotism were the dominant slogans rather than equality and justice.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: In their working life, airline pilots are exposed to particular risk factors that promote nonspecific low back pain (LBP). Because of the varying incidence internationally, we evaluated the point prevalences of acute, subacute, and chronic nonspecific LBP, as well as the current prevalences in German airline pilots. Furthermore, we compared the prevalence to the general German population and to European counterparts.METHODS: An anonymous online survey of 698 participating German airline pilots was evaluated. The impairment between groups was analyzed. Prevalences from our data were compared to existing data.RESULTS: The following point prevalences were found: 8.2% acute, 2.4% subacute, 82.7% chronic LBP; 74.1% of all individuals were suffering from current LBP when answered the questionnaire. A total time spent flying greater than 600 h within the last 12 mo was significantly related to acute nonspecific LBP. Individuals with any type of LBP were significantly impaired compared to those unaffected. It was found that German airline pilots suffer more often from current LBP than the general population and have a higher point prevalence of total LBP than their European counterparts.CONCLUSIONS: The evaluation showed a surprisingly high, previously unidentified, prevalence of nonspecific LBP in German airline pilots. Why German airline pilots suffer more often from LBP remains uncertain. The number of flying hours appears to have a negative effect on developing acute low back pain, but causation cannot be concluded. Other risk factors could not be confirmed.Albermann M, Lehmann M, Eiche C, Schmidt J, Prottengeier J. Low back pain in commercial airline pilots. Aerosp Med Hum Perform. 2020; 91(12):940947.
