Abstract:

The relationship of brother and brother is one of the Five Great Relationships in Confucian culture, yet it has been relatively little studied. The lives of the brothers Wang Shizhen and Wang Shimao in the sixteenth century provide a case study of how two male siblings shared a family heritage of education and political engagement, and pursued parallel careers in public life, yet followed distinct paths in both their intellectual interest and political engagements. The nature of their personal relationship also serves to illustrate how the fraternal bond both structured their respective careers and provided emotional support in times of peril and loss.

Abstract:

In this paper, we prove sharp inequalities between the volume and the integral of the kth mean curvature for (k + 1)-convex domains in the Euclidean space for all k. We generalize the recent results of Chang and Wang [Some higher order isoperimetric inequalities via the method of optimal transport, preprint (2013); arXiv:1305.3004], where they prove the case k = 1, 2. The idea is the same as [S.-Y. A. Chang and Y. Wang, Some higher order isoperimetric inequalities via the method of optimal transport, preprint (2013); arXiv:1305.3004], but calculations are involved.

Abstract:

Panorpa Linnaeus, 1758 is the largest genus in the scorpionfly family Panorpidae. It is considered a paraphyletic taxon and needs further revisions. In this paper, we present a taxonomic study of the Panorpa guttata group, including 23 closely related species, with fourteen species new to science: Panorpa caoweii Wang, sp. n., Panorpa dali Wang, sp. n., Panorpa duanyu Wang & Gong, sp. n., Panorpa hani Wang, sp. n., Panorpa hirundo Wang, sp. n., Panorpa huangguiqiangi Wang, sp. n., Panorpa jiangrixini Wang, sp. n., Panorpa jinfoshana Wang, sp. n., Panorpa latiloba Wang, sp. n., Panorpa nanzhao Wang, sp. n., Panorpa stella Wang, sp. n., Panorpa substricta Wang, sp. n., Panorpa xiaofeng Wang & Gong, sp. n., and Panorpa xuzhu Wang & Gong, sp. n. We also provide a distributional map, keys to species, and discussions regarding the taxonomic implications and biological information of the P. guttata group.

Abstract:

In this paper we consider hexagonal arrays on triangular grids and introduce hexagonal local picture languages and hexagonal tiling systems defining hexagonal recognizable picture languages, motivated by an analogous study of rectangular arrays by Giammarresi and Restivo. We also introduce hexagonal Wang tiles to define hexagonal Wang systems (HWS) as a formalism to describe hexagonal picture languages. It is noticed that the family of hexagonal picture languages defined by hexagonal Wang systems and the family recognized by hexagonal tiling systems coincide. Analogous to hv-domino systems describing rectangular arrays, we define xyz-domino systems and prove that recognizable hexagonal picture languages are characterized as projections of xyz-local picture languages.

Abstract:

Paracortina wangi sp. n. (Callipodida: Paracortinidae) is described from two caves in the karst plateau of Mengzi, Yunnan Province, China. It is the first troglomorphic species described in the family, the congeners being known exclusively from epigean habitats. The status of the family is briefly discussed in the light of the new finding. Though originally assigned to Schizopetalidae, Scotopetalum warreni Shear, 2000, a paracortinid-like millipede from caves in Vietnam, might also prove to belong to the Paracortinidae. Some aspects of the phylogenetic analysis of Wang (1996) are criticised.

Full text

Abstract:

Christofides (1998) studies the proportional hazards (PH) transform of Wang (1995) and shows that for some parametric families, the PH premium principle reduces to the standard deviation (SD) premium principle. Christofides conjectures that for a parametric family of distributions with constant skewness, the PH premium principle reduces to the SD principle. I will show that this conjecture is false in general but that it is true for location-scale families and for certain other families.Wang's premium principle has been established as a sound measure of risk in Wang (1995, 1996), Wang, Young, and Panjer (1997), and Wang and Young (1998). Determining when the SD premium principle is a special case of Wang's premium principle is important because it will help identify circumstances under which the more easily applied SD premium principle is a reliable measure of risk.First, recall that a distortion g is a non-decreasing function from [0, 1] onto itself. Wang's premium principle, with a fixed distortion g, associates the following certainty equivalent with a random variable X, (Wang, 1996) and (Denneberg, 1994):in which Sx is the decumulative distribution function (ddf) of X, Sx(t) = Pr(X > t), t ∈ R. If g is a power distortion, g(p) = pc, then Hg is the proportional hazards (PH) premium principle (Wang, 1995).Second, recall that a location-scale family of ddfs is , in which Sz is a fixed ddf. Alternatively, if Z has ddf Sz, then {X = μ + σZ: μ∈ R, σ > 0} forms a location-scale family of random variables, and the ddf of . Examples of location-scale families include the normal, Cauchy, logistic, and uniform families (Lehmann, 1991, pp. 20f). In the next proposition, I show that Wang's premium principle reduces to the SD premium principle on a location-scale family. Christofides (1998) observes this phenomenon in several special cases.

Abstract:

Primarily based on data collected by the Project for Collecting Historic Data of Scientists’ Academic Life, this paper sets out to analyse the cultural and social role of family factors in the academic lives of three prominent scientists: He Zehui, Wang Shouwu and Wang Shoujue. It was found that, while providing economic support, in the cultural dimension, their family conveyed the idea of saving the nation through science and industry, offered guidance on research career planning and cultivated the concept of feminism; in the social dimension, the three scientists clearly benefited from the academic power and social networks of their family members. This case study of a Chinese scientific family reveals an integration between Western scientific culture and Chinese family culture, and extracts some family factors that have great influence on the academic lives of the scientific elite.

Abstract:

AbstractThis essay proposes that we extract Wang Bo from the retrospectively formulated context of the so-called “Four Elites of the Early Tang” and attempt instead to assess Wang Bo's poetry within other relevant contexts, foremost his own family tradition. By taking into consideration ideas and inspirations that Wang Bo drew from this tradition, an alternative approach is suggested to understanding the development of the “new decorum” in early Tang poetry that has long been attributed to Wang Bo. In so doing, this essay argues more generally for a different literary-historical narrative of the early Tang.

AbstractThe mollissima-subgroup of Pont (1965) belongs to the Fannia serena species-group of Chillcott (1961) in the genus Fannia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 (family Fanniidae). A review of the F. mollissima-subgroup, previously known from eleven species, is enlarged to include seven additional species: F. albisquama Wang & Zhang, sp. n., F. biseta Wang & Zhang, sp. n., F. doxonglaensis Wang & Zhang, sp. n., F. mainling Wang & Zhang, sp. n., F. multiseta Wang & Zhang, sp. n., F. nigribasicosta Wang & Zhang, sp. n., and F. tibetana Wang & Zhang, sp. n. A key to the known species of the F. mollissima-subgroup is given. To facilitate comparison of the species, the original diagnosis of the F. mollissima-subgroup has been expanded. The biogeography of the subgroup is discussed, including its origin and evolutionary history, the effect of the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau, and the effect of glacial periods during the Quaternary.

Full text

Abstract:

There are seventy-nine places in Wang Bi'sLaozi zhuwhere the text of theLaozitransmitted over this commentary differs from quotations of it contained within the commentary. Building on the textual studies of Professor Shima Kunio, this essay demonstrates that the readings given in the commentary are supported in practically every case by a series of early quotations and texts of theLaozi,such as the Mawangdui manuscripts and the “Old Manuscripts” that form the basis of Fu Yi and Fan Yingyuan's editions. A comparison of all of these differences shows that Wang Bi's original text must have belonged to the same broad textual family as these early manuscripts, being most closely linked to the two “Old Manuscripts” and less directly related to the Mawangdui manuscripts. In most of the these cases, thetextus receptushas been supplanted by the reading transmitted through the Heshang Gong commentary. Consequently, it is now necessary to replace thetextus receptusof Wang Bi'sLaoziwith a conflated version of the two “Old Manuscripts” and, in some cases, the Mawangdui manuscripts.

Abstract:

AbstractThe 1073 incident at the Xuande Gate, involving Wang Anshi's alleged breach of imperial protocol, was a turning point both in his career and in emperor Shenzong's policies. By filling in the gaps and reconciling the discrepancies in various accounts of the incident, this essay demonstrates that, whereas on the surface the controversy centered on the ritual question of whether Wang should have dismounted before entering the gate, what was really at play was the particular political dynamics of the time. Direct instigation came from the ranks of senior eunuchs, among whom there was considerable aversion to Wang. Such aversion reflected the attitude of the conservative members of the imperial family. The incident also marked the beginning of Shenzong's shifting away from his exclusive reliance on Wang in formulating and implementing reform policies.

Abstract:

AbstractThe extant calligraphy ascribed to Wang Xizhi consists mainly of short letters that have hitherto been discussed mostly in terms of their calligraphic value, authenticity, and as sources of historical information. This article focuses on the textual properties of the approximately seven-hundred transmitted notes of Wang Xizhi, especially on their communicative functions for the perpetuation of personal relationships among family members and friends. Although these texts are characterized by an overwhelming topicality, this does not impair their epistolary efficacy. Even letters that seemingly lack any particular message and consist of nothing but epistolary conventions have the potential to fulfill genuine communicative functions, to a great extent independently of their calligraphic appeal. Les calligraphies attribuées à Wang Xizhi qui ont été conservées consistent essentiellement en courtes lettres auxquelles ont s'est intéressé jusqu'ici pour leur valeur calligraphique, leur authenticité, et en tant que sources historiques. Cet article se concentre sur les propriétés textuelles des quelque sept cents notes de Wang Xizhi qui nous sont parvenues, en particulier sur les fonctions de communication dont l'objet est de perpétuer des liens personnels entre membres d'une famille ou entre amis. Bien que ces textes se caractérisent par la domination des formules toutes faites, cela ne diminue pas leur efficacité épistolaire. Même des lettres apparemment dénuées de tout message particulier et ne consistant qu'en conventions épistolaires sont capables de remplir de véritables fonctions de communication, largement indépendantes de leur intérêt calligraphique.

Full text

Abstract:

Psilidae (Diptera: Brachycera) is a moderate-sized family currently placed in the superfamily Diopsoidea and contains some destructive agricultural and forestry pests. The systematic position and intrafamilial classification of rust flies are in need of further study, and the available molecular data of Psilidae are still limited. In this study, we present the mitochondrial genomes of 6 Psilidae species (Chamaepsilatestudinaria Wang and Yang, Chyliza bambusae Wang and Yang, Chy. chikuni Wang, Loxocera lunata Wang and Yang, L. planivena Wang and Yang and L. sinica Wang and Yang). Comparative analyses show a conserved genome structure, in terms of gene composition and arrangement, and a highly Adenine plus Thymine biased nucleotide composition of the 6 psilid mitogenomes. Mitochondrial evolutionary rates vary among the 6 species, with species of Chylizinae exhibiting a slower average rate than species of Psilinae. The length, the nucleotide composition, and the copy number of repeat units of the control region are variable among the 6 species, which may offer useful information for phylogenetic and evolutionary studies of Psilidae. Phylogenetic analyses based on 4 mitogenomic datasets (AA, PCG, PCG12RNA, and PCGRNA) support the monophyly of Psilidae, and the sister relationship between Chylizinae and Psilinae, while Diopsoidea is suggested to be non-monophyletic. Our study enlightens the future application of mitogenomic data in the phylogenetic and evolutionary studies of Psilidae, based on denser taxon sampling.

Abstract:

The purpose in this study was to conduct psychological crisis intervention with family members of emergency death patients, and to give suggestions for future clinical work. A total of 167 family members of patients who had died after admission to a hospital emergency department were selected. Their mental health status was evaluated using the Sympton Check List-90 (SCL-90; Derogatis, Rickels, & Rock, 1976) revised by Wang, Wang, and Ma (1999). Intervention was performed in 4 steps: self-introduction, expression of feelings, information to prevent negative feelings, and building up effective support to increase coping capacity through appropriate training. Compared with the national norm for the SCL-90, participants in the study gained significantly higher total and factor scores. Compared with the SCL-90 scores of the control group, the total and somatization, depression, anxiety, and phobic anxiety factor scores of the intervention group were significantly lower. The 4-step intervention method was effective in improving the mental health of the family members who received this treatment and in lessening stress reactions like somatization, depression, anxiety, and phobic anxiety.

Abstract:

After comparison of the types of the four species of Clupisoma recorded from Yunnan, China, no morphological differences between Clupisoma nujiangense Chen et al. and C. yunnanensis (He, Huang & Li) were found, and it is confirmed that the former is a synonym of the latter. Clupisoma yunnanensis occurs in the middle and lower of Nu-jiang, belonging to the Salween River basin. Clupisoma longianale (Huang) and Clupisoma sinense (Huang) are found in the lower Lancang-jiang, in the Mekong River basin. Using concatenated mitochondrial genes and nuclear genes, Wang et al. (2016) reconstructed the phylogeny of 38 species of catfishes belonging to 28 genera and 14 families. They reinstated the family, Ailiidae for a monophyletic Asian catfish group comprised of the three genera Ailia, Laides and Clupisoma. The family-group name Ailiidae was first proposed by Bleeker (1858) as Ailichthyoidei for a subfamily containing Ailia Gray. As such, there was no legitimate reason for Wang et al. (2016) to propose the Ailiidae as a new family group name but, instead, resurrect the existing name from the synonymy of the Shilbeidae.

Abstract:

Abstract Mainland Chinese director Wang Quan’an’s Apart Together, which won the Silver Bear Award for Best Screenplay in 2010, tackles the issue of cross-Strait relations by telling the story of Kuomintang veteran Liu Yansheng’s return to mainland China after nearly 40 years of separation from his wife and son. Shanghainese is the main language of the film, a dialect that is used to suggest a local attitude towards the national issue. While earlier Chinese films on similar themes often emphasise the cultural and emotional ties between Taiwan and China, in Wang’s film Liu is characterised as an unwelcome Taiwanese guest, an intruder in his wife’s Chinese family. This essay argues that Wang’s Apart Together contests the People’s Republic of China’s official discourse of cross-Strait reunification by demonstrating the cultural and identity divisions between the Taiwanese character and his Chinese family. Wang provides an alternative perspective on the ‘Taiwan issue’, showing that ordinary people’s experience of cross-Strait reunion might be painful and problematic.

Abstract:

Gunnel species (family Pholidae), characterized by an elongated bar-like body and usually found in shallow coastal waters, are mostly restricted to temperate to subarctic waters in the Northern Pacific Ocean, although some in the Western Pacific are distributed southward to the northern East China Sea. Despite the absence of previous records from subtropical and tropical waters, a single specimen of the fish family Pholidae was recently trawled off southwestern Taiwan. Examination on the morphological characteristics and DNA barcoding revealed this is a Pholis fangi (Wang & Wang 1935), a species previously recorded only from cold waters in the Bohai and Yellow seas. As a consequence, the present specimen represents the first record of the species from the subtropical South China Sea coast of Taiwan, as well as an isolated southernmost record of this species, more than 1,000 km southward from the otherwise known distribution. Detailed morphology and fresh coloration are described.

Abstract:

AbstractThis paper examines how the suicides of singing-girls and young gentry women were commemorated by the poets Kang Hai (1475-1541) and Wang Jiusi (1468- 1551) whose devotion to wine, women, and song were, and still are, legendary. Witnessing the suicides of mutually-related female family members as well as a concubine of a mutual friend, these two poets valorized these deaths in terms of qing (passion). The girls of good family defy their elders in order to consummate their suicides, and Wang's songs for the concubine singing-girl are filled with evocations of sensual satisfaction. Thus, in the writings of Kang and Wang we see how the norms of the chastity cult were made not restrictive but alluring; the author suggests that this helped the poets to conquer the imagination of the governing class, with the ultimate results that they were able to diffuse these images throughout the whole of society.

Abstract:

Continuing a line of research initiated by Larsen, Liu and Wang [12], Martin and Yap [13], Gürkanli [15], and influenced by Reiter's presentation of Beurling and Segal algebras in Reiter [2,10] this paper presents the study of a family of Banach ideals of Beurling algebrasLw1(G),Ga locally compact Abelian group. These spaces are defined by weightedLp-conditions of their Fourier transforms. In the first section invariance properties and asymptotic estimates for the translation and modulation operators are given. Using these it is possible to characterize inclusions in section 3 and to show that two spaces of this type coincide if and only if their parameters are equal. In section 4 the existence of approximate identities in these algebras is established, from which, among other consequences, the bijection between the closed ideals of these algebras and those of the corresponding Beurling algebra is derived.

Abstract:

Editor’s Note Xinyang (信阳), which lies in an old revolutionary area of Henan Province, is a city with a large population and abundant agriculture. Issues such as unemployment among former military service members, village land use, relocations due to urban expansion, and unemployment, resulting from various interrelated historical and practical factors, have caused great numerous social disputes and tensions and have gravely impacted the stability and development of local society. The accumulation of these tensions have led to highly active petitioning of the government, both by letter and in person (and often by groups in person), a practice that has become “the” issue in Xinyang and an important task for local government. Under the strong leadership of Wang Tie (王铁), Xinyang’s “number one”, and through many years of mass work and letter petition work, a concept has emerged in Xinyang, along with a set of institutions and some working methods. These have come to be called the “Take-as-family Method”: “to treat the petitioners as family members; to take the letters from people as letters from your family; to view the troubles of the people as troubles of your own family; to take the issues of the people as your family’s business”. In this way, the reputation of Xinyang’s government has been remolded and the style of public servants as well as institutions and systems have all been greatly improved. The practices have received “political recognition” from high levels and top-down “experience promulgation”. One might say that the “Take-as-family Method” embodies the new measures of Xinyang’s social management innovations; furthermore, they have significant import as a reference during this time of acute social tensions in Chinese society. Upon this basis, in early September, 2011, a group led by the Director of the NGO Research Institute of the Tsinghua University School of Public Policy and Management, Professor Wang Ming (王名) traveled to Henan’s Xinyang to perform a survey of the “Take-as-family Method.” This writer thus had the fine opportunity to conduct an in-depth interview with Xinyang’s “number one”, Secretary Wang Tie. We not only discussed the “Take-as-family Method” he has personally initiated; we also entered his deeper thoughts, with all their unique concepts, consternations, and ideals.

Abstract:

Besides the genus Olios Walckenaer, 1837, Heteropoda Latreille, 1804 is the most diverse genus in the spider family Sparassidae. Currently, a total of 192 Heteropoda species are known, among them 13 from China (Platnick 2008). In the current paper, the female of Heteropoda squamacea Wang, 1990 is described for the first time. The previously proposed female of H. squamacea appeared to be a misidentification of H. venatoria (Linnaeus, 1767) (Jäger & Yin 2001). Another female paratype of H. squamacea falls into the variation scheme of H. tetrica Thorell, 1897 (Eusemann & Jäger, in press) and most likely belongs to this species. Due to congruence of palpal structure, especially the bifurcated tip of the conductor, H. bifurcuta Wang, Chen & Zhu, 2002 (not: H. bifurcula; contra Platnick 2008) is considered as a junior synonym of H. squamacea.

The manipulators in this family are the variations of the parallel manipulators, which are capable of very high rotational capability, introduced by X.-J. Liu, J. Wang, and G. Pritschow (“A new family of spatial 3-DoF fully parallel manipulators with high rotational capability,” Mech. Mach. Theory40(4), 475–494, 2005). However, compared with those old manipulators, the new parallel manipulators proposed here have the advantages of simpler kinematics and structure, easier manufacturing, and energy saving.

Let a≠0,b be two finite complex constants. If, for each f∈ℱ, all zeros of f have multiplicity at least k+1 and f+a(f(k))n and g+a(g(k))n share b in D for every pair of functions f,g∈ℱ, then ℱ is normal in D. This result generalizes the related theorem according to Xu et al. and Qi et al., respectively. There is a gap in the proofs of Lemma 3 by Wang (2012) and Theorem 1 by Zhang (2008), respectively. They did not consider the case of f(z) being zerofree. We will fill the gap in this paper.

Salah satu bentuk sastra daerah Melayu Jambi adalah Legende Teluk Wang. Legende itu merupakan sastra lisan yang sangat menonjol dalam kehidupan masyarakat sebagai alat untuk mengungkapkan isi hati, menyampaikan maksud atau pikiran, dan menyampaikan suatu keadaan atau situasi yang menurut tradisi budaya harus disampaikan. Legende itu, melalui peran para tokohnya menggambarkan kehidupan perempuan yang berbeda dengan kehidupan perempuan dalam budaya Melayu Jambi jika dipandang dari sisi gender. Untuk itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap perjuangan perempuan dalam Legende Teluk Wang yang dipandang dari sisi gender dan dikaitkan dengan budaya Melayu Jambi. Penelitian ini termasuk jenis penelitian kualitatif dengan metode analisis isi (content analysis) dan pendekatan semiotik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa, pertama perempuan mendapat kesempatan yang sama untuk memperjuangkan dan mengambil suatu keputusan yang penting, yaitu ikut merintis dan menentukan perkampungan baru; kedua, laki-laki dan perempuan bermitra dalam menjalankan perekonomian keluarga; ketiga, laki-laki dan perempuan mendapat bekal ilmu yang sama dari orang tuanya, seperti mendapat ilmu silat; dan keempat, perempuan dipandang sejajar dengan kaum laki-laki. Dengan demikian, perempuan diberi peran dan kedudukan yang sama dengan kaum laki-laki dalam Legende Teluk Wang.Abstract:One form of Jambi Malay’s literature is the legend of teluk Wang. The legend is an oral literature that is very prominent in public life as a tool to confide, to convey intentions or thoughts, and to express a condition or situation based on cultural traditions that must be delivered. The Legend through the role of the characters depicts different women’s lives from their lives in Jambi Malay culture when viewed from the side of gender. Therefore, this study attempts to reveal the struggle of women in the legend of Teluk Wang viewed from the side associated with gender and Jambi Malay culture. This qualitative study employs content analysis method and semiotic ap- proach. The results indicate four findings: first, the female got the same chance to fight on impor- tant decision, e.g. taking a part in pioneering and determining new settlements; Second, men and women worked together as partners in running the family economy; Third men and women got the same knowledge from their parents, i.e. having martial arts; fourth, women were equally treated to men. In conclusion, in legend of Teluk Wang women had the same role and position as men. Key words: The legend of Teluk Wang, women’s struggle, gender perception

Abstract:

Western and Chinese scholarship on Wang Mingdao has with good reason focused exclusively on the apologetic aspect of Wang's ministry, his polemics against modernist theology and his resistance to the Chinese Communist regime in the 1950s. Yet a significant, albeit smaller, portion of his writings and preaching emphasised practical Christian living. In Wang Mingdao Wenku, a seven-volume collection of Wang's sermons and writings, there are a total of twenty-one articles, sermons or allegorical stories dealing specifically with women, marriage or family relations: six from the 1930s, fourteen from the 1940s and one from 1950. They span Wang's most productive years, and some deal with issues specific to China's dramatic social changes in the Republican era, such as concubinage, widowhood and women's fashion. Many of these profound changes, especially changes in gender relations, were advanced by the May Fourth Movement. One sees in Wang's writings and sermons on marriage, women and family relations a concrete example of the indigenisation of Christianity in China, as this Chinese Christian leader wrestled with the implications of his Christian faith in a process complicated by China's encounter with Western modernity.

Abstract:

The phylogenetic relationships among major lineages of the planthopper family Issidae were explored by analyzing a molecular dataset of nine fragments (COI, CytB, 12S, H3, 16S, 18SII, 18SIII, 28S D3–D5, 28S D6–D7) and 48 terminal taxa. Bayesian and Maximum likelihood analyses yielded similar and mostly well-resolved trees with moderate to high support for most branches. The obtained results suggest subdivision of the family Issidae Spinola into two subfamilies, Issinae Spinola, 1839 (= Thioniinae Melichar, 1906, = Hemisphaeriinae Melichar, 1906) and Hysteropterinae Melichar, 1906. The Issinae was clustered into the tribes Issini Spinola, 1839, with the subtribes Issina Spinola, 1839 and Thioniina Melichar, 1906, Sarimini Wang, Zhang et Bourgoin, 2016, Parahiraciini Cheng et Yang, 1991, Hemisphaeriini Melichar, 1906, and Kodaianellini Wang, Zhang et Bourgoin, 2016. The Hysteropterinae incorporates the rest of Western Palaearctic taxa except Issina. Chimetopini Gnezdilov, 2017, stat. nov. is elevated to tribe from the subtribal level. Most well-supported clades showed clear geographical pattering. Newly obtained data contradicts the scenario of an early split of American Thioniinae from other Issidae and possible origin of the family in the New World, while the combination of Palaearctic Issus Fabricius and Latissus Dlabola with Oriental and American taxa in one well supported clade may serve as an evidence for a common ancestor for extant Oriental, American, and Palaearctic issids.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT As a central component of innate immunity, complement activation is a critical mechanism of containment and clearance of microbial pathogens in advance of the development of acquired immunity. Several pathogens restrict complement activation through the acquisition of host proteins that regulate complement activation or through the production of their own complement regulatory molecules (M. K. Liszewski, M. K. Leung, R. Hauhart, R. M. Buller, P. Bertram, X. Wang, A. M. Rosengard, G. J. Kotwal, and J. P. Atkinson, J. Immunol. 176:3725-3734, 2006; J. Lubinski, L. Wang, D. Mastellos, A. Sahu, J. D. Lambris, and H. M. Friedman, J. Exp. Med. 190:1637-1646, 1999). The infectious stage of the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi produces a surface-anchored complement regulatory protein (CRP) that functions to inhibit alternative and classical pathway complement activation (K. A. Norris, B. Bradt, N. R. Cooper, and M. So, J. Immunol. 147:2240-2247, 1991). This study addresses the genomic complexity of the T. cruzi CRP and its relationship to the T. cruzi supergene family comprising active trans-sialidase (TS) and TS-like proteins. The TS superfamily consists of several functionally distinct subfamilies that share a characteristic sialidase domain at their amino termini. These TS families include active TS, adhesions, CRPs, and proteins of unknown functions (G. A. Cross and G. B. Takle, Annu. Rev. Microbiol. 47:385-411, 1993). A sequence comparison search of GenBank using BLASTP revealed several full-length paralogs of CRP. These proteins share significant homology at their amino termini and a strong spatial conservation of cysteine residues. Alternative pathway complement regulation was confirmed for CRP paralogs with 58% (low) and 83% (high) identity to AAB49414. CRPs are functionally similar to the microbial and mammalian proteins that regulate complement activation. Sequence alignment of mammalian complement control proteins to CRP showed that these sequences are distinct, supporting a convergent evolutionary pathway. Finally, we show that a clonal line of T. cruzi expresses multiple unique copies of CRP that are differentially recognized by patient sera.

Abstract:

This paper examines how business families use family foundations to revitalize "dead money" while increasing the reputation of the business family and its firms through charitable giving. The Wang &amp; He (2018) model is applied from 2001 to 2019 to a sample of 100 US family foundations (two for each federal state) with about USD 1 million in assets. Results indicate that business families revitalize "dead money" through family foundations by investing it across different revenue sources, namely bonds, cash investments, and stocks, generating inflows in terms of dividends, interests, and net gains due to asset sales. However, family foundations hold much of these inflows as disposable net equity. Therefore, their administrative structure remains too basic, preventing operating margins from growing. Nonetheless, family foundations stay highly involved in charitable giving to do well to the reputation of the business family and its firms while doing good to society. Overall, we conclude that business families, through family foundations, partially succeed in revitalizing "dead money".
