Abstract:

AbstractPhotographic plate archives contain a wealth of information about the positions and brightness of celestial objects decades ago. Plate digitization is necessary to make this information accessible, but extracting it is a technical challenge. We have developed algorithms to extract photometry with an accuracy of better than ∼0.1 mag. in the range 13 < B < 17 mag from photographic images obtained in 1948–1996 with the 40-cm Sternberg Institute astrograph (30 × 30 cm plate size, 10 × 10 deg field of view) and digitized using a flatbed scanner. The extracted photographic light-curves are used to identify thousands of new high-amplitude variable stars (>0.2 mag). The algorithms are implemented in the free software VaST available at http://scan.sai.msu.ru/vast/

Abstract:

The Harvard College Observatory plate collection is unique in the world in several aspects. First, it is the largest, with a total of approximately half a million plates. Second, because Harvard set up stations very early in the southern hemisphere, the collection covers the entire sky. In fact, the southern hemisphere coverage is slightly better than the northern. Third, the collection is unique in the length of the time interval over which the plates were taken. The first plates were acquired in the northern hemisphere in 1885, and in the southern hemisphere in 1891. There is a substantial gap in the late 1950s and 1960s, but patrol plates were then taken up to 1989. Fourth, the collection contains a very large number of images of a given object. For B = 15 mag or brighter, from several hundred to a thousand or more images can be found; for B = 17.5 mag, one can locate from a few to several hundred images.

AbstractDouble mode pulsations of the B4 component in the system of CI Cam were detected. The photometric 19.4 day orbital period of CI Cam was confirmed with the plates of the Sonneberg collection for a long period of time before the unique 1998 outburst. The amplitude of the periodic component of 0.08 mag before the outburst was larger than that of 0.03 mag after the outburst.

Abstract:

Abstract An innovative procedure to separate the 3 isomeric sn-monoacylglycerols (MAG) classes (sn-1-, sn-2-, sn-3-MAG) is described. MAGs, obtained by chemical deacylation of triacylglycerols (TAGs), have been derivatized with (S)-(+)-1-(1-naphtyl)- ethyl-isocyanate, and the resulting urethane derivatives have been separated by normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. This procedure allows resolution as diasteroisomers of the 2 enantiomeric classes (sn-1-MAG and sn-3-MAG), without the need of a chiral column, and to separate also the isomeric sn-2-MAG class; moreover, by introducing a chromophoric moiety, this reagent makes possible the ultraviolet detection of the analyte molecules. This procedure has been used to obtain the stereospecific analysis of the TAG fraction of extra virgin olive oil samples. The use of a nondestructive detector permitted the collection of the individual urethane classes; the fatty acid composition of each was determined by high-resolution gas chromatography, obtaining directly from the data the fatty acid distribution within each sn- position of TAGs. To validate this new method, the results have been compared with those obtained by 2 other procedures for TAG stereospecific analysis, and the obtained results were satisfactory since the proposed method gave data very similar to the other procedures.

Abstract:

Providing reliable, real-time vehicle volume and classification information is vital for 21st century intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Large vehicles have a major impact on traffic flow, as well as road maintenance. Information about passenger car versus truck volume is crucial for all transportation agencies. The work presented here provides a comprehensive method to develop length-based vehicle classification (LBVC) techniques that could be implemented using inductive loops (IDL) or magnetometer sensors (MAG). Distinctive LBVC schemes were developed to bin vehicles into groups based on structural similarity and statistical characteristics. Data collection, including vehicle magnetic length (VML) estimates using IDL and MAG, was performed at different sites located on Oklahoma highways and rural roadways to capture various traffic characteristics. Video images were utilized as ground-truth for accurate data labeling. Extensive data analyses, including machine learning methods and probabilistic modeling, were conducted to define decision boundaries for developed LBVC schemes. Three scenarios were developed for determining optimal thresholding methods: total classification accuracy maximization, per-group classification error minimization, and equal classification error optimization. Evaluation revealed consistent and accurate performance for all developed schemes. Classification accuracies of 97.70% and 99.00% were reported using MAG and IDL, respectively. The developed classification models are computationally efficient and can provide real-time LBVC data. The models are intended to supplement or replace axle-based data collection methods used throughout Oklahoma. The methodology developed in this work will also benefit other states and territories interested in developing LBVC schemes.

Abstract:

Abstract O.BYU Mag., a Coptic love spell written continuously over three successive ostraca, consists largely of a narrative in which Horus asks for the help of his mother Isis to win the love of a woman whom he meets in the underworld. It is one of twenty-two known Coptic magical texts that mention Egyptian or Greek deities, and its narrative is paralleled almost exactly in three of these. Dating to the seventh or eighth century CE, it provides important evidence regarding the knowledge and survival of Egyptian deities at a time when Egypt was thoroughly Christian.

Abstract:

A new color-magnitude diagram for M 3 is presented. 10,000 stars have been measured down to V = 22 with an internal accuracy better than 0.03 mag to get complete and very accurate samples over well defined areas.More than 10,000 stars have been measured down to V = 22 in two different areas. In the first, with 3.5 < r < 6.0 arcmin, photometric completeness has been achieved down to V = 21.5 and an algorithm to correct for losses due to unrecoverable crowding and blending has been experimentally computed. In the second, within a square field of 15 × 15 arcmin, completeness has been extended only to V = 18, well below the horizontal branch.Many tests made on the data guarantee an internal photometric accuracy better than 0.03 mag at V = 21. Therefore, both the total population of each branch and the relative star-number ratios are “bona fide” representatives of the corresponding evolutionary time-scales. Here we simply present: 1) the color-magnitude diagram (see Fig. 1) obtained from the reduction of a wide collection of Palomar plates; 2) a table which presents the contribution of the various branches to the integrated cluster light; 3) the preliminary indication that, within the annulus we have considered, the blue stragglers seem to be slightly less centrally concentrated than the subgiants in the same magnitude interval.

Abstract:

Language and advertising are interconnected and play a significant role in communicating a message directly or indirectly. Direct roles concern buying decisions of the consumers while indirect roles establish a lasting relation of consumer with the brand. This research studies the language of copywriting of advertising focusing its role in developing consumer-brand relationship. The research uses mix of quantitative and qualitative methods based on the framework of Laswells model of communication. The study uses content analysis for examination of the language of print advertisements and the consumer brand relationship. Survey is used as method of data collection from magazines including Akhbar e Jahan and MAG published by Jang group of newspapers. The study finds that figurative language style is used more in Pakistani print advertisements in comparison to literal language. Moreover, the results prove that the copy writing of print advertisements does play a significant role in developing consumer-brand relationship.

Abstract:

Members of the archaeal order Methanomassiliicoccales are methanogens mainly associated with animal digestive tracts. However, environmental members remain poorly characterized as no representatives not associated with a host have been cultivated so far. In this study, metabarcoding screening combined with quantitative PCR analyses on a collection of diverse non-host-associated environmental samples revealed that Methanomassiliicoccales were very scarce in most terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Relative abundance of Methanomassiliicoccales and substrates/products of methanogenesis were monitored during incubation of environmental slurries. A sediment slurry enriched in Methanomassiliicoccales was obtained from a freshwater sample. It allowed the reconstruction of a high-quality metagenome-assembled genome (MAG) corresponding to a new candidate species, for which we propose the name of Candidatus ‘Methanomassiliicoccus armoricus MXMAG1’. Comparison of the annotated genome of MXMAG1 with the published genomes and MAGs from Methanomassiliicoccales belonging to the 2 known clades (‘free-living’/non-host-associated environmental clade and ‘host-associated’/digestive clade) allowed us to explore the putative physiological traits of Candidatus ‘M. armoricus MXMAG1’. As expected, Ca. ‘Methanomassiliicoccus armoricus MXMAG1’ had the genetic potential to produce methane by reduction of methyl compounds and dihydrogen oxidation. This MAG encodes for several putative physiological and stress response adaptations, including biosynthesis of trehalose (osmotic and temperature regulations), agmatine production (pH regulation), and arsenic detoxication, by reduction and excretion of arsenite, a mechanism that was only present in the ‘free-living’ clade. An analysis of co-occurrence networks carried out on environmental samples and slurries also showed that Methanomassiliicoccales detected in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems were strongly associated with acetate and dihydrogen producing bacteria commonly found in digestive habitats and which have been reported to form syntrophic relationships with methanogens.

Abstract:

AbstractOur team was awarded 108 orbits of Hubble Space Telescope time to obtain parallaxes and photometry of nine metal-poor stars with [Fe/H] < −1.5 dex. The parallaxes are obtained from observations with the Fine Guidance Sensor (FGS 1r; 11 orbits per star) and photometry was obtained with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (one orbit per star). The first data were obtained in October 2008, and the data collection is ongoing. It is anticipated that the observations will be complete in June 2013. Preliminary data reduction has been completed for five of our target stars. The parallax errors vary from 0.12 to 0.16 milli-arcseconds, and the parallaxes are at least an order of magnitude more accurate than existing Hipparcos parallaxes for these stars. The errors in the true distance modulus range from 0.02 to 0.03 mag. Ground-based high-resolution spectra have been analyzed to obtain accurate abundances for three stars. The properties of the two stars with accurate abundances and parallaxes are in excellent agreement with those predicted by stellar evolution models.

Abstract:

The effect of six different methods of blood sample preparation on concentrations of morphine (M), morphine-3-glucuronide (M3G) and morphine-6–glucuronide (M6G) have been investigated using a specific high performance liquid chromatography assay. No difference between glass or plastic tubes was seen in concentrations of M, M3G, or M6G; and no difference between plasma and serum in M and M6G concentrations. M3G concentrations, however, were significantly lower in plasma compared with serum. Heparin had no effect on M, M6G or M3G, whereas citrate in a glass tube produced consistently lower concentrations of M, M3G and M6G. Standardization of sample collection using plasma samples in plastic heparin tubes is recommended for future studies.

Abstract:

Background and Aims: Controversies prevail on association of vitamin D level and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The present study aims to compare serum 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (vitamin D3) level and fasting blood glucose in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and healthy subjects and evaluate their association in both groups. Methods: This cross-sectional, observational study was done in Department of Biochemistry, Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College, Bangladesh, between July 2015 and June 2016. The patients were selected from medicine out-patients departments (MOPD) of Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital and Sylhet Diabetic Hospital, Bangladesh. A total of 135 study subjects were selected following convenient consecutive sampling technique. They grouped into case (Group A) i.e. 65 patients having type 2 diabetes mellitus, and control (Group B), i.e. 70 patients apparently healthy subjects (non-diabetic). Initial evaluation of the patients done by history and clinical examination was recorded in the preformed data collection sheet. Fasting blood glucose was measured by enzymatic method, while serum 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (vitamin D3) was measured by radioimmunoassay (RIA). Results: The mean age of 42.02±3.29 years in case (Group A); while 41.35±3.97 years in control (Group B). There were 33 male (50.76%) and 32 (49.23%) female in group A, while 35 (50%) male and 35 (50%) female in group B. No significant age difference was observed between the groups (p=0.284). Serum 25-hydroxycholecalciferol in cases (Group A) was 55.73±9.02 ng/ml and in controls (Group B) 53.77±10.86 ng/ ml (p=0.255). Fasting blood glucose was 161.98±62.47 mg/dl in cases (Group A) and 86.92±15.74 mg/dl in controls (Group B) (p<0.001). No correlation was found between serum 25-hydroxycholecalciferol and fasting blood glucose in any group: in type 2 diabetic patients (case group) (r=0.010, p=0.943), in healthy controls (r=0.186, p=0.122), and all study subjects together (r=0.095, p=0.268). Conclusions: Our data suggest that serum 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (vitamin D3) was within optimum level in both type 2 diabetic patients and healthy individuals. However, no correlation was found between serum 25-hydroxycholecalciferol and fasting blood glucose in any group.

Abstract:

Background Diabetic nephropathy is a chronic micro vascular complication of poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (DM), leading to end stage renal disease (ESRD). Control of DM is monitored by HbA1c. There are two early markers - to assess early renal impairment: Microalbuminuria (MA) & Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR). Estimation of MA - needs 24 hours collection of urine. GFR is clinically assessed by creatinine clearance rate (CCR) at the same time for accurate estimation of GFR which also needs 24 hours urine collection. Faulty timing and non compliance for 24 hours urine collection - may give erroneous results. MA is better reflected by spot urine urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR). Some formula based calculation of GFR, called estimated GFR (eGFR) are well correlated with CCR which needs only single blood sample for S.Creatinine (S.Cr). For example one such formula is Cockroft-Gault (C-G) formula. Objective To evaluate the association of HbA1c with urinary ACR and eGFR in Type 2DM. Design It was a cross sectional study carried out in the department of Biochemistry, Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College, from July 2010 to June 2011. Methods Fifty (50) known type 2 DM patients of 40-60 years age were evaluated dividing them on the basis of HbA1c (<8%,>8%), duration of DM (>5 years, <5 years), normotensives or hypertensives. FBS, S.Cr, Urinary Albumin & Creatinine were estimated. eGFR and urinary ACR were calculated. Results were expressed as mean ± SD. Data were analyzed with SPSS software version (12.0). Unpaired t test and Pearsons correlation tests were performed as tests of significance. Value of p<0.05 was the level of significance. Results Significant difference of S.Cr & HbA1c was found between study groups on HbA1c<8% and >8%. DBP was significantly raised in hypertensive type 2 DM. Duration of DM did not show significant correlation with renal functional parameters. Serum Creatinine & U.ACR had significant positive correlation with HbA1c>8% and only with ACR but not with S.Cr in study subjects having HbA1c<8%.

Abstract:

Under climate change, the need for crops resistant to abiotic and biotic stresses increases. Lathyrus spp. Are characterized by a high nutritional value of their green biomass. The grass pea is one of the most resistant to drought, aterlogging, cold, salinity, diseases and pests among cultivated legumes, and it is grown at minimal cost. The development of new Lathyrus cultivars with an improved composition of nutrients will make it possible to produce high-quality animal feed in areas with extremely unstable weather conditions. With this in view, the patterns of variability in the parameters of the carbohydrate complex (sugars, their lactone and methyl forms), polyols (including phenol-containing alcohols), phytosterols, free fatty acids (FFA) and acylglycerols were studied in the green biomass of 32 accessions representing Lathyrus sativus L., L. tuberosus L., L. sylvestris L., L. vernus (L.) Bernh., L. latifolius L. and L. linifolius (Reichard) Bassler. from the VIR collection, reproduced in Leningrad oblast under contrasting conditions of 2012 and 2013. The content of identified compounds varied depending on the genotype, species, and weather. High temperatures and high precipitation in 2013 contributed to the accumulation of monosaccharides, and the colder and drier conditions of 2012 to an increase in oligosaccharides, most polyols, and FFA. The cultivated species (L. sativus) was distinguished by its high sugar content, and the wild species as follows: L. latifolius by FFA; L. linifolius by ononitol, myo-inositol, and glycerol 3-phosphate; L. vernus by MAG and methylpentofuranoside. The resulting data showed that the Lathyrus accessions studied are promising for breeding stress-resistant cultivars of high nutritional quality.

Abstract:

Alors que la BD se consomme essentiellement sous la forme de recueil, plusieurs éditeurs de manga français ont tenté de reproduire les magazines de prépublication permettent aux éditeurs japonais de recruter et tester de jeunes talents, de créer une communauté autour des séries lancées par ce biais. Dans les années 1990, Glénat avait lancé son magazine Kaméha diffusant à la fois des mangas et des projets hybrides qui ne possédaient pas encore l’étiquette « manfra ». Le mensuel n’a pas survécu à la première crise du manga durant le passage aux années 2000. Néanmoins, deux éditeurs autres se sont lancés dans la prépublication de jeunes auteurs français par le biais de leurs revues. Pika Edition a diffusé dans Shônen Collection (30 volumes, 2003-2005) des mangas créés par de jeunes auteurs français. Les séries Dreamland (de Reno Lemaire) et DYS (de Moonkey) sont parues en 2005 sous la forme de chapitre mensuel avant d’être republiées en volume. Malgré l’arrêt du périodique faute de rentabilité, Les Humanoïdes Associés ont lancé leur magazine de prépublication Shogun Mag (2006-2009). Le parti pris était de diffuser des mangas créés par des scénaristes et des auteurs de différents pays. En analysant les différents modèles économiques (en librairie ou en kiosque) et les conditions de production de ces magazines (en coproduction avec le Japon ou non), il s’agit de mettre en lumière les contraintes spécifiques au marché français et les freins au développement du manfra lorsque celui-ci se calque trop sur le système japonais.

Abstract:

Pinning force data, [Formula: see text], of a variety of Fe-based high-[Formula: see text] superconductors (11-, 111-, 122- and 1111-type) were analyzed by means of a scaling approach based on own experimental data and an extensive collection of literature data. The literature data were mostly replotted, but also converted from critical current measurements together with data for the irreversibility line when available from the same authors. Using the scaling approaches of Dew-Hughes [J. Appl. Phys. 44, 1360 (1973)] and Kramer [Philos. Mag. 30, 293 (1974)], we determined the scaling behavior and the best fits to the theory. The data of most experiments analyzed show a good scaling behavior at high temperatures when plotting the normalized pinning force [Formula: see text] versus the irreversibility field, [Formula: see text]. The resulting peak positions, [Formula: see text], were found at [Formula: see text] for the 11-type materials, at [Formula: see text] for the 111-type materials, between 0.32 and 0.5 for the 1111-type materials and between 0.25 and 0.71 for the 122-type materials. Compared to the typical results of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O[Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] and YBa2Cu3O[Formula: see text] [Formula: see text], most of the 122 and 1111 samples investigated show peak values higher than 0.4, which is similar to the data obtained on the light-rare earth 123-type HTSC like NdBa2Cu3Oy. This high peak position ensures a good performance of the materials in high applied magnetic fields and is, therefore, a very promising result concerning the possible applications of the Fe-based high-[Formula: see text] superconductors.

In addition, being the only bulge in which we can individually resolve stars in all evolutionary sequences, the properties of its stellar content provide crucial insights into the formation of bulges. Aims. We are providing a detailed and comprehensive census of the Milky Way bulge stellar populations by producing deep and accurate photometric catalogs of the inner ∼300 deg2 of the Galaxy. Methods. We performed DAOPHOT/ALLFRAME point spread function (PSF) fitting photometry of multi-epochs J and Ks images provided by the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) survey to obtain deep photometric catalogs. Artificial star experiments have been conducted on all images to properly assess the completeness and the accuracy of the photometric measurements. Results. We present a photometric database containing nearly 600 million stars across the bulge area surveyed by the VVV. Through the comparison of derived color-magnitude diagrams of selected fields representative of different levels of extinction and crowding, we show the quality, completeness and depth of the new catalogs. With the exception of the fields located along the plane, this new photometry samples stars down to ∼1–2 mag below the old main sequence turnoff with unprecedented accuracy. To demonstrate the tremendous potential inherent to this new dataset, we give a few examples of possible applications, including (i) star count studies through the dataset completeness map; (ii) surface brightness map; and (iii) cross-correlation with Gaia DR2. Conclusions. The database presented here represents an invaluable collection for the whole community, and we encourage its exploitation. The photometric catalogs including completeness information are publicly available through the ESO Science Archive as part of the MW-BULGE-PSPHOT release.

Abstract:

The multiwavelength anomalous dispersion (MAD) method of protein structure determination is becoming a routine technique in protein crystallography. The increased number of wavelength-tuneable synchrotron beamlines capable of performing challenging MAD experiments, coupled with the widespread availability of charge-coupled device (CCD) based X-ray detectors with fast read-out times have brought MAD structure determination to a new exciting level. Ultrafast MAD data collection is now possible and, with the widespread use of selenium in the form of selenomethionine for phase determination, the method is growing in popularity. Recent developments in crystallographic software are complementing the above advances, paving the way for rapid protein structure determination. An overview of a typical MAD experiment is described, with emphasis on the rates and quality of data acquisition now achievable at third-generation synchrotron sources.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of milk collection frequency (24 h versus 48 h) and milking dayshift (morning and evening) on total mesophilic aerobic bacteria (MAB) and psychrotrophic bacteria (PSY) counts in raw milk samples. MAB counts were determined by flow cytometry (BactoScan) and PSY counts by the plate counting agar method. An univariate statistical analysis was performed to find out significant differences among the studied factors. Results obtained showed that collecting milk every 24 h was effective in reducing MAB and PSY counts by 32 and 18%, respectively, compared to 48 h milk collection. This positive impact allowed reducing up to 4°C the temperature of the heat treatment in the dairy industry, thus involving energy savings of 22%. Milking during the mornings showed a significant reduction of MAB counts in comparison to milking performed during the evenings (P<0.05). These results are highly useful for the improvement of milk quality through the optimization of collection and milking systems set at primary production.

Introduction: Neonatal sepsis can alter the glucose level and both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia may occur. A high or low blood glucose level may have a significant effect on the outcomes in patients of neonatal sepsis.Objective: To see the glycemic status and its effect on outcome of neonatal sepsis.Methods: This prospective observational study was done in the department of paediatrics, Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital, Sylhet from July 2013 to December 2013. Clinically suspected neonatal sepsis cases were enrolled in the study. Venous blood was collected before giving any intravenous fluid or antibiotics for blood sugar, full blood counts, CRP levels and blood culture and send to labouratory within half hour of collection. All patients included in this study were treated accordingly and followed up strictly. Blood glucose level and mortality of neonates having hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia were analyzed among CRP and culture positive patients. Quantitative data were expressed as mean and standard deviation. Qualitative data were expressed as frequency and percentage and comparison carried by Chisquare (÷2) test.Results: A total of 62 patients clinically diagnosed as neonatal sepsis were studied. Fifty two (83.9%) patients were found CRP positive and 21(33.9%) patients were blood culture positive. Glycemic status was analyzed among CRP and culture positive patients. Majority (71.2%) patients were found normoglycemic, 13.5% were found hypoglycemic and 15.3% were found hyperglycemic in this study. Fifty one (82.2%) patients were cured and 9(17.8%) were died. Mortality was high in hypoglycaemic patients (42.8%) compare with normoglycaemic patients (10.8%), but the difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05) between two groups whereas mortality was also high in hyperglycaemic patients (50%) compare with normoglycaemic patients (10.8%) and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.05) between two groups.Conclusion: Alteration of glycemic status occurred in septic newborn. Mortality is higher among the septic newborn with hyperglycemia.Bangladesh J Child Health 2016; VOL 40 (1) :21-25

Abstract:

Abstract Semen used for artificial insemination (AI) in the swine industry is typically collected into a warmed semen collection cup containing an empty collection bag. If the ambient temperature does not closely match the temperature of the warmed collection cup and semen at the time of collection then negative effects to the motility and morphology of the sperm cells may occur due to temperature shock. The purpose of this research was to determine if collecting boar semen directly into semen extender warmed to 38.5°C would affect sperm quality post-collection. Sexually mature Berkshire x Duroc crossbred boars (n = 7) were semen collected once per week for four consecutive weeks. Every other collection, the boar's ejaculate was collected into a collection cup and plastic collection bag warmed to 38.5°C containing either no semen extender (control) or 100 mLs of a commercially available long-term semen extender warmed to 38.5°C (treatment). Following collection and processing, the semen was extended to 37.5 × 106 sperm/mL and stored for 6 days post-collection in a semen cooler at 17°C. Motility and morphology were evaluated on day 0 (day of collection) and day 6. There was no day x treatment effect (P > 0.05). Statistical differences (P = 0.03) were found between the treatment and control for sperm motility (82.2 vs. 75.2%) and sperm progressive motility (64.1 vs. 53.5%). No differences (P = 0.96) were present for normal sperm morphology in the treatment compared to the control (89.1 vs. 89.0%). These data suggest that boar semen ejaculates collected into a collection cup and plastic collection bag containing 100 mLs of semen extender warmed to 38.5°C will have greater percentages of motile and progressively motile sperm compared to boar sperm collected into a collection cup and plastic collection bag warmed to 38.5°C containing no semen extender.

Abstract:

IntroductionThe National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has increasingly agreed to reimburse innovative products with high levels of uncertainty as part of managed access agreements (MAAs) while additional data are collected, through the new Cancer Drugs Fund (CDF) or highly specialized technology (HST) pathways. This research aimed to review the data collection stipulations of current MAAs.MethodsWe reviewed all current MAAs entered into between NHS England and manufacturers as of 29 October 2018 and key data were extracted.ResultsTwenty-two MAAs were identified (19 through the CDF; three through HST). All MAAs involved an observational data collection component. The source of observational data collection was existing NHS databases (19/22 MAAs: 86.5 percent), existing independent registries (one MAA: 4.5 percent [ataluren]); bespoke MAA registry maintained by manufacturer (1/22 MAA: 4.5 percent [asfotase alfa]), and registries developed as a part of regulatory approval and maintained by the manufacturer (1/22 MAA: 4.5 percent [elosulfase alfa]). Only eight MAAs (asfotase alfa, ataluren, elosulfase alfa, brentuximab vedotin, venetoclax, ibrutinib, daratumumab, and pembrolizumab) had observational data collection as the primary method of data collection. Additionally, 17/22 MAAs (77 percent; all from the CDF) also required ongoing data collection from clinical trials as a key component of the data collection arrangement.ConclusionsThis research identified observational data collection as a requirement in all MAAs, which is primarily through existing registries (except ataluren, which required development of a bespoke registry), while ongoing trial data collection was limited to the CDF. The relatively low cost of using existing registries to fulfil data requirements, with the ability to achieve reimbursement whilst still collecting data from ongoing RCTs, make MAAs an attractive proposition for manufacturers. NICE reportedly plan to increase use of MAAs, with ongoing NICE consultation for changes in the appraisal process potentially allowing expansion to include all indications, which would mean increased opportunities to explore innovative MAAs to support access in the future.

Abstract:

Hierdie artikel fokus op die geografiese verspreiding en die habitats van Lymnaea natalensis, die slaktussengasheer van die lewerbot, Fasciola gigantica, soos gereflekteer deur die vindplekke van sy 4 552 monsters wat tans in die Nasionale Varswaterslakversameling (NVV) van Suid-Afrika op rekord is. Alhoewel hierdie spesie in’n verskeidenheid van waterliggame aangetref is, was die meerderheid van die monsters (±70%) afkomstig vanuit riviere, spruite en damme en is die water in 70.8% van die gevalle as standhoudend en in 71.8% van die gevalle as stadigvloeiend, of staande beskryf. Die resultate van lewenstabeleksperimente deur verskeie outeurs het daarop gedui dat temperatuur ’n minder belangrike bepalende faktor in sy geografiese verspreiding blyk te wees, maar dat die beskikbaarheid van standhoudende water deurslaggewend vir sy voorkoms in ’n gegewe habitat mag wees. Hierdie resultate strook met die bevinding dat slegs 7.5% van die monsters van hierdie spesie in die NVV in habitats wat as seisoenaal beskryf is, versamel is. Verder bied dit’n logiese verklaring vir die sporadiese voorkoms, of totale afwesigheid van hierdie spesie in die droër streke van Suid-Afrika. Opgaardamme en besproeiingsnetwerke dra grootliks by tot die skepping van permanente habitats wat geskik sou wees vir L. natalensis. As tussengasheer vir een van die lewerbotspesies wat reeds ’n ekonomiese faktor in Suid-Afrika is, is dit ’n aspek waarmee beslis rekening gehou behoort te word in die beplanning en konstruksie van nuwe besproeiingsprojekte.AbstractDistribution and habitats of Lymnaea natalensis, snail intermediate host of the liver fluke Fasciola gigantica, in South Africa This paper focuses on the geographical distribution and the habitats of Lymnaea natalensis, the snail intermediate host of the liver fluke, Fasciola gigantica, as reflected by the collection sites of its 4 552 samples currently on record in the National Freshwater Snail Collection (NFSC) of South Africa. Although this species was represented in a variety of waterbodies, the majority of samples (±70%) came from rivers, brooks and dams and in 70.8% of the cases the water was described as permanent and in 71.8% as slow flowing or standing. The results of life-table studies conducted by various authors indicated that temperature should be a relatively unimportant factor in determining its geographical distribution, but that the availability of permanent water should be decisive for its presence in a given habitat. These results are in agreement with the finding that only 7.5% of the samples of this species in the NFSC were collected in habitats which were described as seasonal. Furthermore, it gives a logical explanation for the sporadic occurrence, or total absence of this species in the more arid regions of South Africa. Water impoundments and irrigation networks contribute to a large extent towards creating perennial habitats which would be suitable for L. natalensis. As intermediate host for one of the liver fluke species which already is an economic factor in South Africa, this certainly is an aspect which ought to be reckoned with in the planning and construction of new irrigation schemes.

Abstract:

A collection of bone artefacts from Mesolithic layers of the site Ivanovskoye 7, excavated by the Upper Volga expedition under direction of M.G. Zhilin was taken for permanent storage by MAE RAS in 2012. Three cultural layers yielded impressive collections of bone and antler artefacts of early, middle and late periods of the Butovo culture. Finds from the bottom layer are already described in detail [Zhilin 2018]. The present article is devoted to publication of bone and antler artefacts from the Middle and Late Mesolithic layers of this site. Further development of traditions of the bone industry of the bottom layer is observed in these layers. At the same time new tool types emerge, and some types of bone and antler artefacts widespread in the bottom layer are absent in the upper layers. Comparison of finds from Mesolithic layers of Ivanovskoye 7 with other peat bog sites of the Butovo culture indicates rather steady development of bone industry. During the whole period of its existence the population of the Butovo culture was equipped with a highly developed set of bone and antler artefacts needed for successful living in the forests of temperate zone. Bone industry of the Late Mesolithic layer of Ivanovskoye 7 found further development in the Early Neolithic Upper Volga culture.

Full text

Abstract:

In underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs), medium access control (MAC) is an important issue because of its potentially significant effect on the network performance. However, designing a suitable MAC protocol for the UASN is challenging because of the specific characteristics of the underwater acoustic channel and network, such as limited available bandwidth, long propagation delay, high bit-error-rate, and sparse network topology. In addition, as the traffic load is non-uniformly distributed in a UASN for data collection, it is essential to consider the application feature for the MAC protocol. In this paper, we propose a MAC protocol in a data-collection-oriented UASN, abbreviated as the DCO-MAC protocol. In the proposed protocol, the network is partitioned into two kinds of sub-networks according to the traffic load. A contention-based MAC protocol is used in the sub-network with a light traffic load, while a reservation-based MAC protocol is used in the sub-network with a heavy traffic load. Meanwhile, the DCO-MAC protocol supports the access of mobile nodes. The theoretical analysis and simulation results demonstrate that, in a UASN for data collection, the proposed MAC protocol outperforms the other existing MAC protocols, in terms of the network throughput, end-to-end packet delay, energy overhead, and fairness.

Abstract:

AbstractThis paper focuses on the assemblage and display of Fijian collections at Government House during the first few years of British colonial rule and reflexively considers its re-presentation in the exhibition Chiefs & Governors: Art and Power in Fiji (6 June 2013 – 19 April 21014) at the University of Cambridge Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (MAA). It moves beyond reductionist accounts of colonial collecting and investigates the specificity and nuances of complex relationships between Fijian and British agents, between subjects and objects, both in the field and in the museum. A focus on the processes of collecting and display highlights multiple agencies within colonial networks and the fluid transactional nature of object histories. The Fijian objects that bedecked the walls of Government House from the mid 1870s were re-assembled in 1883 as the founding ethnographic collections of the University of Cambridge Museum of General and Local Archaeology (now MAA). Ethnographic museums have tended to efface the links between the material on display and their colonial pasts (Edwards and Mead 2013). In contrast, the creation of Chiefs & Governors was used as an opportunity to explore the multiple agencies within colonial relations and the processes of collecting, displaying and governing (Bennett et al.2014; Cameron and McCarthy 2015). The second half of this paper analyses the techniques and challenges involved in displaying colonial relations in a museum exhibition and considers the ongoing value of the collections for Fijian communities, cultural descendants, museum staff, researchers and broad public audiences today.

Abstract:

The paper deals with the search and study of the manuscripts from the medieval library of the princes Romodanovsky, preserved in parts in various libraries and archives of Russia. The purpose of this research is to identify and attribute the materials from the collection of the princes Romodanovsky in the holdings of the scientific-research Department of manuscripts of the Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences (BAN). Russian historians M.E. Bychkova, A.L. Khoroshkevich and Y.V. Ankhimyuk made the assumptions that separate manuscripts (the genealogical book of M.G. Romodanovsky, the historical digest “The book of cases”, etc.) belonged to the library of princes Romodanovsky. However, until now, these sources in historiography were not considered in the complex, and there was no idea about the existence of the significant volume of books of ancestral library. Within the scope of investigation, the author reviewed and analysed the best part of manuscript collections of count M.G. Golovkin, count A.I. Osterman and other courtiers, seized in 1741—1742 in the result of the charges of treason. Based on the materials from the BAN holdings in the St. Petersburg branch of the Archives of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the author restored the circumstances of transfer of the manuscript books from the Confiscation Commission to the Russian Academy of Sciences. The article describes that the great part of the manuscript collection of M.G. Golovkin library is made up of the medieval library of princes Romodanovsky, got there as a heritage of Ekaterina Ivanovna, the wife of count M.G. Golovkin and daughter of I.F. Romodanovsky. The study of the collections of other convicts showed that the Commission made serious mistakes in the description of the books. As a result, the significant part of the collection of M. Golovkin was attributed to the books of Osterman. Thus, in the scientific-research Department of manuscripts of the Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences the author identified and attributed more than 15 manuscripts of 17th — beginning of 18th century, which constituted the core of the ancestral library of princes Romodanovsky. The obtained results demonstrate the manuscript tradition of the ruling elite and its book culture in the new way. The paper used such methods as historical, comparative-historical, prosopographic, as well as a number of methods of auxiliary historical disciplines: source studies, historical bibliography, archival heuristics, archeography, palaeography and codicology.

Abstract:

Background: Mycobacteria of the Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) pose a significant risk to zoological collections. Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is a member of MAC and the causative agent of Johne’s disease. Despite many reports in animals kept in zoological gardens, systemic surveillance has rarely been reported. Methods: In this study, archived serum samples collected from animal species at the Wilhelma Zoological and Botanical Gardens in Stuttgart, Germany, were screened for the presence of antibodies against MAC and MAP. In addition, molecular investigations were performed on necropsy, fecal, and environmental samples. Results: In total, 30/381 serum samples of various mammalian species were positive for MAC antibodies in ELISA, while one sample of a reticulated giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata) was positive in MAP-specific ELISA. Samples from many species were positive in pan-Mycobacterium real-time PCR (40/43 fecal samples, 27/43 environmental samples, and 31/90 necropsy samples). Surprisingly, no sample was positive in the MAP-specific molecular assays. However, two environmental samples from primate enclosures were positive in Mycobacterium avium subspecies hominissuis (MAH)-specific real-time PCR. Conclusions: The results reveal serological indications of MAC infections in the zoological collection. However, the presence of a MAP-contaminated environment by a high-shedding individual animal or MAP-infected population is unlikely.

Abstract:

To obtain monoclonal antibodies (MAB) specific for the different cell types of distal and collecting tubules, BALB/c mice were immunized with cell suspensions highly enriched in cells from the distal segments of the rabbit nephron. Nine MAB were selected and cloned. Four groups could be identified on the basis of double-labeling immunofluorescence (IF) on frozen kidney sections and on microdissected tubules. In addition, binding specificity at the cellular level was studied by immunoelectronmicroscopy (IEM) for selected MAB. A single MAB (group 1) was specific for distal bright cells and a subpopulation of cortical ascending limb cells. Six MAB (group 2) reacted with connecting and collecting tubules. Five of these (group 2A) had similar binding patterns and reacted identically with the two tubular segments. The MAB studied by IEM was specific for connecting and principal cells. One antibody (group 2B) reacted with only a fraction of the cells associated with the connecting tubule (CNT), but with all cells of the cortical collecting tubule (CCT). By IEM, this antibody was found to be specific for intercalated cells in CNT and bound both principal and intercalated cells of the CCT. Two MAB (group 3) reacted with antigen(s) expressed by the various terminal segments of renal tubule. MAB of groups 1 and 2A, which define distal bright cells and connecting-principal cells from the CNT-CCT, respectively, were used for cell fractionation experiments. Heterogeneous rabbit cortical cells were first incubated with the selected MAB. MAB-bearing renal cells were separated on plastic dishes previously coated with an affinity-purified goat anti-mouse immunoglobulin. Using these procedures it was possible to obtain highly purified subpopulations of distal, bright, or connecting-principal cells.

Abstract:

Background: Conventionally, searching for eligible articles to include in systematic reviews and maps of research has relied primarily on information specialists conducting Boolean searches of multiple databases and manually processing the results, including deduplication between these multiple sources. Searching one, comprehensive source, rather than multiple databases, could save time and resources. Microsoft Academic Graph (MAG) is potentially such a source, containing a network graph structure which provides metadata that can be exploited in machine learning processes. Research is needed to establish the relative advantage of using MAG as a single source, compared with conventional searches of multiple databases. This study sought to establish whether: (a) MAG is sufficiently comprehensive to maintain our living map of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) research; and (b) eligible records can be identified with an acceptably high level of specificity. Methods: We conducted a pragmatic, eight-arm cost-effectiveness analysis (simulation study) to assess the costs, recall and precision of our semi-automated MAG-enabled workflow versus conventional searches of MEDLINE and Embase (with and without machine learning classifiers, active learning and/or fixed screening targets) for maintaining a living map of COVID-19 research. Resource use data (time use) were collected from information specialists and other researchers involved in map production. Results: MAG-enabled workflows dominated MEDLINE-Embase workflows in both the base case and sensitivity analyses. At one month (base case analysis) our MAG-enabled workflow with machine learning, active learning and fixed screening targets identified n=469 more new, eligible articles for inclusion in our living map – and cost £3,179 GBP ($5,691 AUD) less – than conventional MEDLINE-Embase searches without any automation or fixed screening targets. Conclusions: MAG-enabled continuous surveillance workflows have potential to revolutionise study identification methods for living maps, specialised registers, databases of research studies and/or collections of systematic reviews, by increasing their recall and coverage, whilst reducing production costs.

Abstract:

Ilyonectria mors-panacis belongs to I. radicicola species complex and causes root rot and replant failure of ginseng in Asia and North America. The aims of this work were to identify I. mors-panacis that infect Korean ginseng using molecular approaches and to investigate whether their aggressiveness depends on their ability to metabolize ginseng saponins (ginsenosides) by their β-glucosidases, in comparison with other identified Ilyonectria species. Fourteen isolates were collected from culture collections or directly isolated from infected roots and mainly identified based on histone H3 (HIS H3) sequence. Among them, six isolates were identified as I. mors-panacis while others were identified as I. robusta and I. leucospermi. The pathogenicity tests confirmed that the isolates of I. mors-panacis were significantly more aggressive than I. robusta and I. leucospermi. The major ginsenosides in I. mors-panacis-infected roots were significantly reduced while significantly increased in those infected with other species. In vitro, the isolates were tested for their sensitivity and ability to metabolize the total major ginsenosides (Total MaG), protopanaxadiol-type major ginsenosides (PPD-type MaG), and protopanaxatriol-type major ginsenosides (PPT-type MaG). Unexpectedly, the growth rate and metabolic ability of I. mors-panacis isolates were significantly low on the three different ginsenoside fractions while those of I. robusta and I. leucospermi were significantly reduced on PPT-type MaG and Total MaG fractions and not affected on PPD-type MaG fraction. Our results indicate that major ginsenosides, especially PPT-type, have an antifungal effect and may intervene in ginseng defense during Ilyonectria species invasion, in particular the weak species. Also, the pathogenicity of I. mors-panacis may rely on its ability to reduce saponin content; however, whether this reduction is caused by detoxification or another method remains unclear.
