The elucidation of small-scale vegetation patterns
No full textThe Askrigg Block was tectonically active during accumulation of the Limestones. Movements altered the depositional environment and are recorded in the sediments by variations in thickness and lithology, the location of and relationships between certain lithologies and the presence and poaitior of erosion surfaces. The bioherms show successive displacement northwards with time in resourse to southward tilting of the Block. This tilting caused deepening of the sea over the southern region preventing biogenic carbonate production and formation of the Underset and Crow Limestones in this area. The major underlying cause of these movements is related to differential subsidence along the faults bounding the Askrigg Block. Locking or increased drag on the faults caused tilting or downwarp of the Block edges. Tilting was sometimes compensatory, downward movement of one edge being accompanied by uplift of the opposite edge. Movements on the Askrigg Block not directly related to motion on the boundary faults shows the Block is not monolithic.</p

Interannual variability in the effects of physical habitat and parentage on Chinook salmon egg-to-fry survival
No full textMortality during incubation is believed to be a major factor limiting the recovery of many salmon populations, though direct field measurements of egg-to-fry survival are rare or small in scale. To determine the effects of physical habitat (river reach, fine sediment intrusion, scour), parentage (mating, source of gametes) on Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) egg-to-fry survival and developmental stage at emergence across a basin, we constructed 324 artificial redds in nine reaches over 4 years in the Yakima River Basin, Washington, USA. Mean egg-to-fry survival ranged from 49% to 69% annually from 2009 to 2012 brood years. Survival was significantly different among reaches in 2010, but not in 2009, 2011, or 2012, while mating was a significant factor in all years but 2010. In contrast, developmental stage differed significantly among reaches and matings in all 4 years. Percentage of fines, days-in-gravel, and median particle size explained only small (<10%) additional amount of variation in survival or developmental stages. Our results suggest that parentage and reach within a basin are major factors influencing egg-to-fry survival, but their relative influence varies annually, presumably depending on the magnitude of high flows and scour during incubation
Foreign direct investment in a macroeconomic framework : finance, efficiency, incentives, and distortions
No full textDoes foreign direct investment (FDI) increase domestic investment, or does it provide additional foreign exchange for a pre-existing current account deficit, or some linear combination of the two? The author investigates this question for a group of five Pacific Basin countries and a control group of 11 other developing countries. For the sample of all 16 developing countries, the author finds that FDI does not provide additional balance of payments financing for a pre-existing current account deficit. In the control group of 11 developing countries, FDI is associated with reduced domestic investment - implying that FDI to those countries is simply a close substitute for other capital inflows. For the five Pacific Basin market economies, however, FDI raises domestic investment by the full extent of the FDI inflow. The author finds that FDI has a significantly negative impact on national saving in the sample of all 16 developing countries. For the control group, this negative effect is similar in magnitude to FDI's negative effect on domestic investment - implying a zero effect on the current account. But FDI's negative effect on national saving in the five Pacific Basin developing market economies implies that FDI could have more of a negative effect on the current account than through increased domestic investment alone. The author also investigates the impact of FDI on economic growth in these 16 countries, taking into account distortions in the economies. He estimates reduced-form current account equations, and presents an analytical framework for estimating FDI's effect on economic growth in the presence of incentive-disincentive packages and other economic distortions. He illustrates his framework using indicators of foreign trade and financial distortions. His main conclusion: the effect of FDI differs markedly from one group of countries to another. FDI has a negative effect on economic growth in the control group. It has the same positive effect on growth as domestically financed investment does in the Pacific Basin countries. The main cause for the different effect is the low level of distortion in the Pacific Basin countries.Environmental Economics&Policies,Economic Theory&Research,Foreign Direct Investment,International Terrorism&Counterterrorism,Macroeconomic Management
Rheotactic response of fry from beach-spawning populations of sockeye salmon: evolution after selection is relaxed
No full textRheotactic response was quantified for newly emerged sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) fry from a beach population (Pleasure Point) and from an adjacent inlet population (Cedar River). The Pleasure Point population was small in number and had been established by straying from the much larger Cedar River population no more than 13 generations previously. When tested in laboratory raceways, fry from the Cedar River population were displaced downstream in the dark but not in the light. Such behavior is typical of inlet populations and presumably reflects selection for rapid movement to rearing lakes with minimal losses to predation. Fry from the Pleasure Point population showed greater downstream displacement than the Cedar River fry. Behavioral divergence of the Pleasure Point population could not be explained by selection, because water movement was absent from the beach environment. Genetic drift appeared to be a more plausible divergence mechanism. We suggest that the rheotactic response of beach populations should reflect the founding genotypes, gene flow from other populations, and random genetic drift. The results of previously published studies on the rheotactic response of beach fry in two other lake systems qualitatively support our hypothesis.</jats:p
Il significato della pittura. Imaginative art e actual criticism in Roger Fry
No full text2013 - 2014Il presente lavoro di tesi ripercorre secondo un ordinamento cronologico quanto più
lineare possibile, le tappe principali del percorso critico di Roger Fry, a partire dagli
esordi da conoscitore alla fine del XIX secolo, passando per la stagione più
marcatamente formalista degli anni Venti, per arrivare alla “crisi” del formalismo stesso
nelle riflessioni sul metodo e la pratica della critica d’arte nei suoi ultimi anni di
attività.
La ricerca che si è condotta muove, pertanto, dalla rilettura critica non solo dei primi
contributi pubblicati da Fry sull’arte rinascimentale, la maggior parte dei quali dedicati
alla pittura fiorentina e veneziana, ma anche di quella di alcuni manoscritti inediti, di
cui si propongono numerose citazioni nel testo, che hanno fornito un ricco repertorio
documentario, finora ancora non indagato, attraverso il quale ricostruire lo studio degli
antichi maestri del Rinascimento veneziano che, per il giovane Fry connoisseur,
costituirà uno dei primi campi di prova sul quale testare la propria sensibilità estetica. .. [a cura dell'Autore]The present work traces on a chronological schedule the most important steps of Roger Fry’s critique, from the beginning as connoisseur in the end of the 19th Century, through the formalist season of the Twenties, till the formalism crisis and his thoughts on the method and the practice of art criticism in the latest years.
This research moves around, from a critic point of view, not only on the rereading of the first contribution on Renaissance Art published by Fry, but also on some unreleased manuscripts, from which some quotes are submitted, that furnish a full documentary repertoire, not explored so far, through which we can build up the study of the ancient Renaissance Masters that for the young connoisseur Fry represents the first field test of his aesthetic sensibility. ..

Assessing the role of microRNAs in the suppression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition by the FRY tumor suppressor gene
No full textThe tumor suppressor gene, Fry, induces reversal of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) phenotype in the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. Based on in silico predictions made by Ingenuity Pathway AnalysisTM (IPA), we hypothesized that FRY and microRNAs interact and these interactions link FRY to EMT. In this study we attempted to identify microRNAs that are differentially expressed in breast cancer cells without (MDA-MB-231) and with (231wCFry) ectopic Fry expression. Using TaqMan MicroRNA Array Cards to screen of over 700 microRNAs, we identified 118 microRNAs that were differentially expressed between cells with and without Fry expression. Among the differentially expressed microRNAs, hsa-mir-25, hsa-mir-106b, and hsa-mir-203 were previously associated with EMT. We used IPA to build interaction networks between microRNAs, FRY, and two genes (CACNAID, and NDR1), whose expression levels were tightly correlated with the expression of FRY. This in silico approach suggested that hsa-mir-515 may play a role. However, our results indicated that the expression of has-mir-515 was not significantly changed by ectopic expression of Fry expression in MDA-MB-231 cells. We next chose to investigate hsa-mir-301b, whose expression was known to be increased in certain cancers. Our results showed hsa-mir-301b expression is decreased 100-fold in MCF-10A and 231wCFry as compared the to the MDA-MB-231 cell line. This correlation suggested that hsa-mir-301b could play a role in tumorigencity of breast cancer, and ectopic expression of Fry may contribute to decreased hsa-mir-301b expression. The microRNA hsa-mir-4728-3p was found to share 83% alignment complementarity to the mRNA nucleotide region 4,561-4,583 of Fry. Expression of hsa-mir-4728-3p was decreased 100-fold in 231wCFry and increased in 2.5-fold in MCF-10A compared to MDA-MB-231 cells. These findings were unexpected given previous studies demonstrating a direct relationship between transcription of hsa-mir-4728-3p and ERRB2. Given that these cell lines do not express ERRB2 the observed increased expression of mir-4728-3p in MCF-10 cells and decrease in expression in 231wCFry compared to MDA-MB-231 was unexpected. The studies described in this thesis indicated ectopic expression of the Fry tumor suppressor gene in the triple negative MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line correlates with the expression of numerous microRNAs, including many previously linked to EMT and carcinogenesis.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Nashmia Mansoor Mali
