Abstract:
C protein β antigen (Bac), a surface protein of group B streptococci (GBS), is known to concurrently bind the Fc portion of IgA and factor H (FH). The authors' previous work has demonstrated that mRNA expression levels show diversity among clonally related strains containing genes (bac) encoding Bac, with high expression noted in invasive strains. In this study, the bac gene and upstream regions containing putative promoters, three ORFs and an IS1381 insertion sequence were characterized. Three invasive strains showed high bac expression levels and did not show any notable mutations except one

Bactenecin (Bac) 5 is a bovine antimicrobial peptide (AMP) capable of killing some species of bacteria through the inhibition of protein synthesis. Bac5 and other AMPs have also been shown to have chemotactic properties and can induce inflammatory cytokine expression by innate immune cells. Recently, AMPs have begun to be investigated for their potential use as novel vaccine adjuvants. In the current work, we characterise the functionality of Bac5 in vitro using murine macrophage-like cells, ex vivo using human tonsil tissue and in vivo using a murine model of vaccination.

ABSTRACT Although many stress response genes have been characterized in Oenococcus oeni, little is known about the regulation of stress response in this malolactic bacterium. The expression of eubacterial stress genes is controlled both positively and negatively at the transcriptional level. Overall, negative regulation of heat shock genes appears to be more widespread among gram-positive bacteria. We recently identified an ortholog of the ctsR gene in O. oeni. In Bacillus subtilis, CtsR negatively regulates expression of the clp genes, which belong to the class III family of heat shock genes.

Removal of this motif inhibited NMII-B assembly, whereas its insertion into NMII-A endowed an NMII-B–like ability to generate large actomyosin bundles that determine the rear of the cell.

The product of the snail1 gene (SNAIL1) is a transcriptional repressor required for triggering the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). SNAIL1 transcription is induced when epithelial cells are forced to acquire a mesenchymal phenotype. Furthermore, ectopic expression of snail1 in epithelial cells promotes resistance to apoptosis. In this study, we demonstrate that this resistance to ã radiation-induced apoptosis caused by Snail1 is associated with the transcriptional inhibition of PTEN phosphatase.

Abstract:
An exclusion clause might operate in any of the following three ways: (a) as a limitation clause, imposing a financial cap on the compensation to be paid upon breach; or (b) it might provide for total exclusion of liability for breach; or (c) the clause might constitute a time restriction (an agreed time bar), which requires a claim to be made within a specified period of the alleged harm, that period being shorter than the ordinary limitation period prescribed by statute (ordinarily, six years for breach of contract, twelve years if the action is based on a deed). By a combination of judicial doctrine and (predominantly) statutory regulation, exclusion clauses have become more closely controlled since the Second World War. This chapter explains these responses to this problem.

Abstract:
Apparent raising (AR) constructions in Tongan resemble raising constructions in that the thematic subject of the embedded clause seems to occur in the matrix subject position. Unlike regular raising, however, Tongan AR shows characteristics of A-bar movement such as long-distance dependency, sensitivity to islands, and syntactic ergativity. This chapter argues that Tongan AR involves three operations: (a) topic movement of a DP to the embedded [Spec, C], (b) cancelation of the previous valuation of the case feature on the DP in [Spec, C], and (c) subsequent case valuation under Agree with the matrix v. The proposed analysis calls for a parametric adjustment to the activity condition to allow for multiple case valuation: in languages like Tongan, a DP located at the edge of a phase not only remains active, but the valuation of its case feature gets undone upon completion of the CP phase.

Abstract:
Over the past 35 years a great deal has been learned about the mechanisms of photosynthesis, ranging from the ultrafast reactions involved in the initial capture of photons to the slower processes of carbon metabolism. Today our knowledge of photosynthesis and its molecular mechanisms is enormous, so much so that it is difficult for one person to absorb all the information. This is not necessarily a bad thing, since what we have achieved is sufficient information to appreciate the complexity of the “photosynthetic engine” and to identify the main factors that ultimately regulate its efficiency. In this chapter I summarize those areas of photosynthesis research with which I am reasonably familiar and, in so doing, address the question posed by the chapter title. As Blackman (1895a,b) pointed out, the rate of photosynthesis initially rises as the light intensity is increased and then levels off to a plateau. This plot is often referred to as the rate v PFD curve, where PFD stands for Photon Flux Density. Over the years rigorous analyses of the slopes of the rate v PFD curve have been made to obtain a value of the quantum yield (usually expressed as the number of quanta or photons required to produce one molecule of oxygen or to fix one molecule of carbon dioxide). With a few exceptions, the value obtained for a wide range of “non stressed” organisms and plants supplied with excess CO2 is about 9 or a little more (Björkman and Demmig, 1987; Walker, 1992). Bearing in mind that one molecule of oxygen evolved or carbon dioxide fixed is a 4e/4H+ process, then a value of 8 would he consistent with the “Z-scheme” model proposed by Hill and Bendall (1960). In this scheme, each electron is excited twice, first by photosystem two (PSII) and then by photosystem one (PSI). In this way, 8 photons are used to drive 4e/4H+ from water, through PSII and PSI to NADP.

Abstract:
As new technologies continue to emerge, firms in diverse industries increasingly must respond. Future economic rents and competitive advantage rests on the organizational ability to assimilate new technologies in the right manner. Broadcasters, content and service providers, packaging providers, and many other firms have been affected by the advent of digital technologies in the digital television (DTV) industry. All these firms have considered the adoption of digital technologies. Digital television is a new television service representing the most significant development in television technology since the advent of color television in the 1950s (Kruger, 2005). DTV can provide several benefits: sharper pictures, a wider screen, CD-quality sound, better color rendition, integration with Web technologies, increased programming options, easy integration between broadcasting networks and broadband telecommunication networks (e.g., B-ISDN—Integrated Services Digital Network), and other new services currently being developed. The nationwide deployment of digital television is a complex and multifaceted enterprise though. It has a profound impact on the entire TV system: from the offer typologies to the consumption manners. Therefore, a successful deployment requires the development by content providers of compelling digital programming; the delivery of digital signals to consumers by broadcast television stations, as well as cable and satellite television systems; and the widespread purchase and adoption by consumers of digital television equipment (Kruger, 2005). In sum, the advent of the digital television has caused an actual breakthrough innovation on almost all levels of the value chain. Although the adoption of breakthrough innovations is highly risky to pursue, research has shown that firms always follow them (Charitou & Markides, 2003; Ketchen, Snow, & Hoover, 2004). In the case of the television industry, the adoption also happens because the government and the telecommunication regulatory agencies in many countries have foreseen deadlines for the complete transition from analog to digital technologies in this industry. Despite lingering standardization issues, digital transmission is replacing analog transmission in the three major delivery platforms (terrestrial, cable, and direct broadcast satellite [DBS]) (Galperin & Bar, 2002). Therefore, in the future we expect that all firms in this industry will have adopted these digital technologies. Furthermore, this adoption will vary according to both the firm’s activities and the type of breakthrough innovation. This research will present some theoretical arguments to describe the adoption of the digital technology by two different activities in the digital TV industry: TV channels and content providers. These two different types of firms were chosen because the emergence of the digital TV has meant the adoption of different types of breakthrough innovation for each one of them. The next section defines these different types of breakthrough innovation. The two following sections describe the two cases of the adoption of DTV: by TV channel and by content provider. Finally, the last section presents the conclusion and implications of this research.

"population of potential patients, but be such that they produce different effects when a patient is switched from formulation T to formulation R or vice-versa. In other words there is a significant subject-by-formulation interaction. To show that this is not the case T and R have to be shown to be IBE, i.e., individually bioequivalent. The measure of IBE that has been suggested by the regulators is an aggregate measure involving the means and variances of T and R and the subject-by-formulation inter-action. We will describe this measure in Section 7.4. In simple terms PBE can be considered as a measure that permits patients who have not yet been treated with T or R to be safely prescribed either. IBE, on the other hand, is a measure which permits a patient who is cur-rently being treated with R to be safely switched to T (FDA Guid-ance, 1997, 1999a,b, 2000, 2001). It is worth noting that if T is IBE to R it does not imply that R is IBE to T. The same can be said for PBE. An important practical implication of testing for IBE is that the 2×2 cross-over trial is no longer adequate. As will be seen, the volunteers in the study will have to receive at least one repeat dose of R or T. In other words, three-or four-period designs with sequences such as [RTR,TRT] and [RTRT,TRTR], respectively, must be used. The measures of ABE, PBE and IBE that will be described in Sec-tions 7.2, 7.5 and 7.4 are those suggested by the regulators. Dragalin and Fedorov (1999) and Dragalin et al. (2002) have pointed out some drawbacks of these measures and suggested alternatives which have more attractive properties. We will consider these alternatives in Section 7.7. All the analyzes considered in Sections 7.2 to 7.4 are based on sum-mary measures (AUC and Cmax) obtained from the concentration-time profiles. If testing for bioequivalence is all that is of interest, then these measures are adequate and have been extensively used in practice. How-ever, there is often a need to obtain an understanding of the absorb-tion and elimination processes to which the drug is exposed once it has entered the body, e.g., when bioequivalence is not demonstrated. This can be done by fitting compartmental models to the drug con-centrations obtained from each volunteer. These models not only pro-vide insight into the mechanisms of action of the drugs, but can also be used to calculate the AUC and Cmax values. In Section 7.8 we de-scribe how such models can be fitted using the methods proposed by Lindsey et al. (2000a). The history of bioequivalence testing dates back to the late 1960s and early 1970s. Two excellent review articles written by Patterson (2001a, 2001b) give a more detailed description of the history, as well as a more extensive discussion of the points raised in this section.

"• contrary to the requirement of ‘good faith’; • it causes a significant imbalance in the parties’ right and obligations; • to the detriment of the consumer (reg 5(11)). The issues of ‘significant imbalance’ and consumer ‘detriment’ seem largely matters of fact to be decided ‘case by case’, although, significantly, they seem suggestive of substantive unfairness compared to the largely, procedural unfairness perspective of ‘good faith’ discussed below. ‘Consumer’ is defined (reg 3) so as to include only ‘natural’ persons, thereby immediately ruling out the possibility of an R & B Customs Brokers type argument. The burden of proof (that is, to establish that a term ‘challenged’ is fair) lies on the seller/supplier (reg 5(4)). Three issues in the regulations seem of particular interest and uncertainty: (i) Core terms Regulation 6(2) reconfirms that the Regulations will not ‘bite’ on any term which either: (a) defines the main subject matter of the contract; or (b) relates to the adequacy of the contract price, so long as the term in question is in ‘plain intelligible’ language. The meaning of (a) is far from clear, as it seems to link back to the ‘Coote’ perspective on exemption clauses dismissed earlier (see fn 10) and, unless interpreted carefully could lead to a re-emergence of the argument that liability is not being excluded – merely not accepted in the first place. Of course, there must be something at the ‘core’ of a contract which cannot be challenged as ‘unfair’ (assuming the consumer entered into the contract freely in the first place) – but this should, surely, be construed narrowly. (ii) Good faith The remarks of Bingham LJ in Interfoto v Stiletto convey lucidly the broad sense of ‘good faith’, a concept which seems of the essence of the idea of procedural fairness. In many ways, good faith in the codes of countries like Germany seems to play a similar role to that of equity in relation to the common law – giving a ‘gloss’ of flexibility, humanity and justice to an otherwise rather schematic and technical system. The wording of reg 5(1) suggests that, even if a term shows some evidence of imbalance and detriment, it may be acceptable if the consumer received full and clear information about the implications of the clause and went into it with his/her eyes open."

Abstract:
The regulatory compliance of the containment system is of essential importance for the design assessment of transport packages for radioactive materials. The requirements of the IAEA transport regulations SSR-6 for accident conditions implies high load on the containment system of Type B(U) packages. The integrity of the containment system has to be ensured under the mechanical and thermal tests. The containment system of German transport packages for spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high level waste (HLW) usually includes bolted lids with metal gaskets.

Abstract:
Numerical simulations were conducted to compare ballistic performance and penetration mechanism of copper (Cu) with four representative grain sizes. Ballistic limit velocities for coarse-grained (CG) copper (grain size ≈ 90 μm), regular copper (grain size ≈ 30 μm), fine-grained (FG) copper (grain size ≈ 890 nm), and ultrafine-grained (UG) copper (grain size ≈ 200 nm) were determined for the first time through the simulations. It was found that the copper with reduced grain size would offer higher strength and better ductility, and therefore renders improved ballistic performance then the CG an

Abstract:
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is the electronic or mechanical conversion of images of typed, handwritten, or printed text into machine-encoded text. Advanced systems are capable to produce a high degree of recognition accuracy for most technic fonts, but when it comes to handwritten forms there is a problem occur in recognizing certain characters and limitations with conventional OCR processes persist. It is most pronounced in ascenders (k, b, l, d, h, t) and descenders (g, j, p, q, y). If the characters are linked by ligatures, the ascending and descending strokes are even less recogniz

Abstract:
The Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011 triggered huge tsunami waves that devastated the northeast region of Japan along the Pacific coastline. The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) owned Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (Fukushima-1) survived the earthquake, however, not the tsunami that followed. Four of the 6 reactor units underwent Station Blackout. Unit 5 lost all its own AC power, however, it shared AC power with Unit 6. Units 1, 3, and 4 had hydrogen explosions that destroyed their reactor buildings, and even worse, 1, 2, and 3 had core meltdowns to release a large amo

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The drilling industry has always relied on cement as a primary barrier. Although the cement represents about 5% of the well cost, when squeezes are required, cementing averages 17% of the well cost. Only 50% of the squeezes achieve the objective of establishing a barrier for well integrity. A little bit more than half of the failures can be attributed to operational challenges (pump failure, cement contamination), or design oversights (cement recipe, centralizers). However there are still cement failures with perfect design and field execution. These failures typically exhibit some of

Abstract:
Abstract Objectives/Scope Controlling the excessive water production from the high water cut gravel packing horizontal well is a challenge. The approach which uses regular packers or packers with ICD screens to control the unwanted water does not function well. This is mainly because of the length limitation of packers which will make the axial flow resistance insufficient. Methods, Procedures, Process In this paper, a successful case that unwanted water is shutoff by using continuous pack-off particles with ICD screens (CPI) in the whole horizontal section in an offshore oilfield of Bohai bay

Abstract:
High temperature stress is of major concern to turkey producers in Israel and the United States. The decline in the rate of egg production at high environmental temperature is well recognized, but the neuroendocrinological basis is not understood. Our objectives were: 1) to characterize the hypothalamo-hypophyseal axis involvement in the mechanism(s) underlying the detrimental effect of heat stress on reproduction, and 2) to establish procedures that alleviate the damaging effect of heat stress on reproduction. Heat stress (40oC, Israel; 32oC, U.S.) caused significant reduction in egg producti

The overall objective of the current proposal is to develop procedures to improve the pregnancy rate achieved following transfer of fresh or cryopreserved embryos produced in the laboratory into heat-stress recipients. The overall hypothesis is that pregnancy rate in heat-stressed lactating cows can be improved by use of embryo transfer and that additional gains in pregnancy rate can be achieved through development of procedures to cryopreserve embryos, select embryos most likely to establish and maintain pregnancy after transfer, and to enhance embryo competence for post-transfer survival thr
