Calvin–Benson cycle regulation is getting complex
No full textOxygenic phototrophs use the Calvin–Benson cycle to fix CO2 during photosynthesis. In the dark, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and phosphoribulokinase (PRK), two enzymes of the Calvin–Benson cycle, form an inactive complex with the regulatory protein CP12, mainly under the control of thioredoxins and pyridine nucleotides. In the light, complex dissociation allows GAPDH and PRK reactivation. The GAPDH/CP12/PRK complex is conserved from cyanobacteria to angiosperms and coexists in land plants with an autoassembling GAPDH that is analogously regulated. With the recently described 3D structures of PRK and GAPDH/CP12/PRK, the structural proteome of this ubiquitous regulatory system has been completed. This outcome opens a new avenue for understanding the regulatory potential of photosynthetic carbon fixation by laying the foundation for its knowledge-based manipulation
Duriavenator Benson, 2008, gen. nov.
No full text<i>Duriavenator</i> gen. nov. <p> <b>Etymology.</b> From the Latin for Dorset hunter (Duria = Dorset; venator = hunter).</p> <p> <b>Type and only species.</b> <i>Duriavenator hesperis</i> (Waldman, 1974).</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> Waldman (1974) erected <i>M. hesperis</i> as a new species of <i>Megalosaurus</i>. Recent authors have used ' <i>Megalosaurus</i> ' (in inverted commas) <i>hesperis</i> to acknowledge uncertainty in the generic assignment of the taxon (Holtz <i>et al</i>. 2004; Weishampel <i>et al</i>. 2004; Naish & Martill 2007). <i>'M.' hesperis</i> and the type species of <i>Megalosaurus</i> (<i>M. bucklandii</i>) do not uniquely share any character or combination of characters that support this referral and do show several differences outlined in the diagnosis, description and discussion (below), therefore the new genus <i>Duriavenator</i> is erected here to form the new combination <i>Duriavenator hesperis</i>.</p>Published as part of <i>Benson, Roger B.

The malocclusion impact questionnaire (MIQ): Cross-sectional validation in a group of young people seeking orthodontic treatment in New Zealand
No full textThe aim of the study was to test the validity of the Malocclusion Impact Questionnaire (MIQ) in a NZ sample and to evaluate possible cross-cultural differences in MIQ data between a NZ and a UK sample. A cross-sectional, non-random sample of young people, aged 10-16 years, attending their first appointment at the orthodontic clinic of New Zealand's National Centre for Dentistry were asked to complete a questionnaire. This consisted of the 17 item MIQ, the short form CPQ 11-14 -ISF16 and two global questions. Some basic demographic and clinical data were collected. Sixty-six participants completed the questionnaire; however, the data for 2 were excluded due to the number of incomplete responses. MIQ was found to have excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha 0.924), good construct validity (Spearman's rho, 0.661 global Q1 'Overall, how much do your teeth bother you?'; 0.583 global Q2 'Overall, how much do your teeth affect your life?'). MIQ also demonstrated good criterion validity with CPQ 11-14 -ISF16 (Pearson rho, 0.625). The Rasch analysis confirmed that the questionnaire performed similarly and there was no differential item functioning between the two populations. The main differences between the samples were that the young people in NZ were less concerned about their malocclusion and reported lower item-impact scores compared with the young people in the UK

Microseismicity of an unstable rock mass:from field monitoring to laboratory testing
No full textThe field‐scale microseismic (MS) activity of an unstable rock mass is known to be an important tool to assess damage and cracking processes eventually leading to macroscopic failures. However, MS‐event rates alone may not be enough for a complete understanding of the trigger mechanisms of mechanical instabilities. Acoustic Emission (AE) techniques at the laboratory scale can be used to provide complementary information. In this study, we report a MS/AE comparison to assess the stability of a granitic rock mass in the northwestern Italian Alps (Madonna del Sasso). An attempt to bridge the gap between the two different scales of observation, and the different site and laboratory conditions, is undertaken to gain insights on the rock mass behavior as a function of external governing factors. Time‐ and frequency‐domain parameters of the MS/AE waveforms are compared and discussed with this aim. At the field scale, special attention is devoted to the correlation of the MS‐event rate with meteorological parameters (air temperature and rainfalls). At the laboratory scale, AE rates, waveforms, and spectral content, recorded under controlled temperature and fluid conditions, are analyzed in order to better constrain the physical mechanisms responsible for the observed field patterns. The factors potentially governing the mechanical instability at the site were retrieved from the integration of the results. Abrupt thermal variations were identified as the main cause of the site microsesimicity, without highlighting irreversible acceleration in the MS‐event rate potentially anticipating the rock mass collapse
