First person – Avinash Persaud
No full textABSTRACT
First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Journal of Cell Science, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Avinash Persaud is the first author on ‘Dynamin inhibitors block activation of mTORC1 by amino acids independently of dynamin’, published in Journal of Cell Science. Avinash is a research associate in the lab of Daniela Rotin at The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada, investigating mTORC1 signaling and the function of the ubiquitin ligase Nedd4.</jats:p
Of the people, by the people, for the people: in defense of American pop culture, its meaning, and its impact
No full textAmerican pop culture has often been subjected to scorn and ridicule, both at home and abroad, often by those who view it as being immoral or who view it as not being “true” culture. This begs the questions of what exactly are the characteristics of American pop culture, why did it develop along the lines it has, and what are its sociological implications. One can examine the issue by delving into American history, and tracing how American mainstream thought has informed cultural practice. The results of such a study show that the characteristics of American pop culture were directly shaped by the ideals expressed in the American Revolution, and that American pop culture has often been at the heart of a generations-long push towards greater social freedom.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Avinash R.

Risk - adjusted rates of return for project appraisal
Get PDFIncorporating risk assessment into public project appraisal makes sense when project risk is significantly correlated with uncertainty about national income. It is especially important in countries that specialize in particular agricultural or resource sectors. This report presents the following conclusions: (a) risk corrections can be substantial; (b) the intuition that risk is great for further investment in a crop or sector that constitutes a large part of a country's GNP is not invalid, but the effect may be offset by other forces in operation; (c) risk corrections can be negative because of a negative correlation between project return and GNP; (d) risk premia vary greatly across countries and sectors - so recognizing the risk correction needed for each project on its own merits makes more sense than including a common general risk premium in the rate of return required for all lending; (e) risk corrections are small for many sectors and countries - so efforts can be concentrated on the other categories, where the proposed treatment of risk makes a big difference; (f) risk affects investment projects in many different, subtle ways; and (g) resource requirements for this are not great.Environmental Economics&Policies,Health Economics&Finance,Banks&Banking Reform,Statistical&Mathematical Sciences,Crops&Crop Management Systems
Effect of Chitosan on Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench) Seed Germination
Get PDFPresent paper deals with the effect of chitosan at different concentration on seed germination of okra. It was revealed that chitosan at 0.03%, 0.12%,0.3% and 0.6% concentration induced seed germination in okra while at 0,03% there was maximum seed germination percentage as compare to other treatments. 1Department of Botany, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University, Aurangabad- 431 004 (MS), India; 2Department of Chemistry, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University, Aurangabad- 431 004 (MS), India; 3Department of Botany, University of Pune, Pune -411 007 (MS), India.* Corresponding Author, Email: [email protected] Cite This Article As: Sandhya Jaybhay, Asha Chate and Avinash B.

Corrosion Behavior in SBF and Microstructure of ECAP-Ti and Ti Alloys
No full textTi and Ti alloys are important materials for medical and dental applications. The effect of equal channel angular process(ECAP) and addition of Fe in Ti were studied with optical microstructure and corrosion behavior. Fine grains in Ti was obtained after ECAP. Corrosion behavior of commercial pure(CP)-Ti and Ti alloys was studied by open circuit test and polarization curve test(PCT) at with SBF in biological environment. The corrosion behavior of ECAP-Ti was similar to that of CP-Ti in PCT, but Ti-Fe alloys were observed to become more corrosive with increasing Fe content
Predicting psychosis in at-risk patients using abnormal neural oscillations and synchrony in conjunctions with machine learning algorithms
Get PDFIn the last 20 years, there has been a marked increase in interest in the early detection and treatment of psychosis. Despite the various potential “prodromes” that have been identified and have helped to increase the accuracy in the detection of persons at-risk of developing psychoses, it is still not possible to predict the transition to psychosis with sufficient accuracy. Although some electroencephalography (EEG) studies, based on basic power-spectral and event-related potential analyses, have been conducted in the field of early detection, neural oscillations and their phase-synchronization across brain areas have been ignored.
The present dissertation covers three different studies which, together, demonstrate that neural oscillations are disturbed in emerging psychosis. The first paper shows that at-risk patients with later transition to psychosis are characterized by abnormal localized brain activity and that inter-cortical areas of the brain are poorly synchronized. The second study shows that machine learning algorithms can detect patterns of abnormal brain activity predictive of later transitions to psychosis with promising accuracy. The third study reveals, in a cross-sectional manner, that patients who already had a first episode of psychosis at inclusion, already demonstrated the same abnormal patterns of brain activity revealed in at-risk patients with later transition to psychosis
