Patterns of selective constraints in noncoding DNA of rice
No full textAbstract Background Several studies have investigated the relationships between selective constraints in introns and their length, GC content and location within genes. To date, however, no such investigation has been done in plants. Studies of selective constraints in noncoding DNA have generally involved interspecific comparisons, under the assumption of the same selective pressures acting in each lineage. Such comparisons are limited to cases in which the noncoding sequences are not too strongly diverged so that reliable sequence alignments can be obtained. Here, we investigate selective constraints in a recent segmental duplication that includes 605 paralogous intron pairs that occurred about 7 million years ago in rice (O. sativa). Results Our principal findings are: (1) intronic divergence is negatively correlated with intron length, a pattern that has previously been described in Drosophila and mammals; (2) there is a signature of strong purifying selection at splice control sites; (3) first introns are significantly longer and have a higher GC content than other introns; (4) the divergences of first and non-first introns are not significantly different from one another, a pattern that differs from Drosophila and mammals; and (5) short introns are more diverged than four-fold degenerate sites suggesting that selection reduces divergence at four-fold sites. Conclusion Our observation of stronger selective constraints in long introns suggests that functional elements subject to purifying selection may be concentrated within long introns. Our results are consistent with the presence of strong purifying selection at splicing control sites. Selective constraints are not significantly stronger in first introns of rice, as they are in other species.</p

Seafloor basalt alteration and chemical change in the ultra thinly sedimented South Pacific
No full textDetermining the relationship between ocean floor basalt alteration and sedimentation is fundamental to understanding how oceanic crust evolves with time. Ocean floor basalts recovered at IODP Sites U1365 (?100 Ma) and U1368 (?13.5 Ma) in the South Pacific have been subjected to remarkably low sedimentation rates (0.71 and 1.1 m/Myr?1, respectively). We report detailed petrographic and geochemical analysis of basalt cores from these sites in order to investigate what impact sediment insulation has on seafloor alteration beyond 10–15 Myr of ocean crust formation. Both sites exhibit low-temperature (<150°C) alteration (e.g., iron-hydroxides, carbonate, and quartz) within a predominantly oxidative regime, albeit with markedly different alteration styles and intensity. Alteration at Site U1365, which is predominantly composed of sheet flows, occurs mainly near sheet flow boundaries and fractures. In contrast, Site U1368 comprises interlayered pillows and thin sheet flows that have been subjected to relatively even levels of alteration. Variation of alteration style and intensity between Sites U1365 and U1368 appear closely tied to lithology and crustal structure. Although alteration-induced elemental changes at both sites are similar in, e.g., increasing K, Rb, U, Ba, and Fe3+ and decreasing Fe2+, Ca, and Ni, they show distinct differences in Th, which is significantly decreased at Site U1365 but relatively constant at Site U1368. At both sites enrichment of LREEs relative to HREEs is ascribed to alteration. The greater vein abundance and notably higher Fe3+/TiO2, K2O/TiO2, LOI/TiO2, and Rb/TiO2 ratios of representative samples at Site U1365 compared to Site U1368 are attributed to increased alteration intensity. This is mirrored by greater overall chemical change (Fe2O3, FeO, CaO, K2O, Li, Rb, Pb, and U) observed at Site U1365 than those of Site U1368 and other DSDP/ODP sites between 6 and 46 Ma. Since both Sites U1365 and U1368 endured only minimal sedimentation, we attribute the differences in overall chemical change across the two sites to duration of exposure to seawater

Application of HS-SPME-GC-MS combined with electronic nose technology in the odor recognition of pseudostellariae radix
No full textCorrect identification of the substance basis of Pseudostellariae Radix (PR) odor is important not only for the quality control of the products, but also for the safety of the consumers. PR is often described with a special smell, such as strange, moldy or earthy. Electronic nose-based technology coupled with headspace solid phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) was used to investigate the volatile components in PR from 47 germplasms cultivated in traditional fields. A total of 48 common compounds were identified based on HS- SPME-GC-MS technology, and 25 of them with aroma characteristics were found based on Alpha soft 13.4. The 1-Octen-3-ol, geosim, (E)-2-nonenal and 1- methylnaphthalene as contributing marker compounds of the ‘specific smell’ of PR were identified. The odor recognition mode, with demonstrated excellent accuracy in recognition abilities, enabled the correct identification of commercial samples including complex mixtures.</p
Initial-mixed boundary value problems for parabolic equations of second order with measurable coefficients in a higher dimensional domain
No full textIn [1], Yu. A. Alkhutov and I. T. Mamedov discussed the solvability of the Dirichlet problem for a linear nondivergence uniformly parabolic equations with Cordes coefficients. In this paper, we try to discuss the solvability of initial-mixed boundary value problem for nondivergence uniformly parabolic equations of second order with measurable coefficients in a higher dimensional domain, which includes the Dirichlet problem and initial-oblique derivative problem for the equations as special cases.http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000169505000024&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=8e1609b174ce4e31116a60747a720701Mathematics, AppliedMathematicsCPCI-S(ISTP)
The Private Cost of Long-Term Care in Canada: Where You Live Matters
No full textCanadians expect the same access to health care whether they are rich or poor, and wherever they live, often without direct charge at the point of service. However, we find that the private cost of long-term care differs greatly across the country, and within provinces, we find substantial variation, depending on income level, marital status, and, in Quebec alone, on assets owned. A non-married person with average income would pay more than twice as much in the Atlantic provinces as in Quebec, while a couple with one in care would pay almost four times as much in Newfoundland as in Alberta.long-term care, private cost
