Frankfurt book fair: cancelled prize ceremony for Palestinian author is part of a long history of political zigzagging
No full textFirst paragraph: The Frankfurt Buchmesse, or book fair, is the world’s largest publishing industry gathering, attracting thousands of exhibitors every October. On one level, it’s a business event focused on creating buzz for forthcoming bestsellers, trading rights and discussing industry developments. On another, it’s a public celebration of books and the values associated with them.https://theconversation.com/frankfurt-book-fair-cancelled-prize-ceremony-for-palestinian-author-is-part-of-a-long-history-of-political-zigzagging-21574

Physics over easy: Breakfasts with Beth and physics
No full textDuring a sequence of meals, the author relates the principal features of physics in easy-to-understand conversations with his wife Beth. Beginning with the studies of motion by Galileo and Newton through to the revolutionary theories of relativity and quantum mechanics in the 20th century, all important aspects of electricity, energy, magnetism, gravity and the structure of matter and atoms are explained and illustrated. The second edition similarly recounts the more recent application of these theories to nanoparticles, Bose-Einstein condensates, quantum entanglement and quantum computers. B
WORK-LIFE BALANCE OF WORKING PROFESSIONALS ENROLLED IN A DOCTORAL DEGREE PROGRAM DURING COVID-19: A PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDY
No full textThe purpose of this phenomenological study was to understand how working professionals enrolled in a doctoral degree program experienced work-life balance during the COVID-19 pandemic and to provide implications for human resource development (HRD) research and practice. Two research questions guided this inquiry: 1) How do working professionals enrolled in a doctoral program experience their work-life balance during a pandemic, and 2) How do working professionals enrolled in a doctoral program cope with challenges they experience in work-life balance during a pandemic? I conducted 11 semi-structured participant interviews who were working professionals enrolled in a doctoral program during the COVID-19 pandemic to answer the two research questions. I then transcribed and coded all collected data and identified two themes and twelve subthemes. The first theme, work-life balance, consisted of eight subthemes including, 1) defining work-life balance, 2) struggles of academic and professional workload, 3) remote working and learning, 4) duality of parenting and educating, 5) role balancing, 6) well-being, 7) struggles of keeping a social connection, and 8) experienced job uncertainty. The second theme, coping mechanisms, consisted of four subthemes including, 1) motivation for a Ph.D., 2) grit and determination, 3) social support, and 4) engaging in activities. The study findings emphasize the need for HRD practitioners to support their employees by offering flexible workplace policies, incorporating fun social activities in the workplace to promote well-being, and supporting employee development through higher education incentives and programs. Future research is needed to better understand this phenomenon such as conducting mixed-methods studies to provide additional depth and qualitative longitudinal studies to assess changes in WLB experiences throughout the pandemic and post pandemic
Acute Ethanol Administration Rapidly Increases Phosphorylation of Conventional Protein Kinase C in Specific Mammalian Brain Regions in Vivo
No full textBackground
Protein kinase C (PKC) is a family of isoenzymes that regulate a variety of functions in the central nervous system including neurotransmitter release, ion channel activity, and cell differentiation. Growing evidence suggests that specific isoforms of PKC influence a variety of behavioral, biochemical, and physiological effects of ethanol in mammals. The purpose of this study was to determine whether acute ethanol exposure alters phosphorylation of conventional PKC isoforms at a threonine 674 (p-cPKC) site in the hydrophobic domain of the kinase, which is required for its catalytic activity.
Methods
Male rats were administered a dose range of ethanol (0, 0.5, 1, or 2 g/kg, intragastric) and brain tissue was removed 10 minutes later for evaluation of changes in p-cPKC expression using immunohistochemistry and Western blot methods.
Results
Immunohistochemical data show that the highest dose of ethanol (2 g/kg) rapidly increases p-cPKC immunoreactivity specifically in the nucleus accumbens (core and shell), lateral septum, and hippocampus (CA3 and dentate gyrus). Western blot analysis further showed that ethanol (2 g/kg) increased p-cPKC expression in the P2 membrane fraction of tissue from the nucleus accumbens and hippocampus. Although p-cPKC was expressed in numerous other brain regions, including the caudate nucleus, amygdala, and cortex, no changes were observed in response to acute ethanol. Total PKC? immunoreactivity was surveyed throughout the brain and showed no change following acute ethanol injection

The Frankfurt Kabuff
No full textAfter a difficult winter, Beatrice Deft is on vacation in Frankfurt during European Autumn, staying at the Hessischer Hof enjoying the quiet of cosmopolitan Germany. When violence breaks out at the stands of far-right publishers across the road at the Frankfurt Book Fair, Beatrice tells herself it isn’t her problem. But now police patrol the aisles with guns and batons, and queues form at security bag checks, and an old friend begs for her help. There she meets Caspian, the very hot policeman with a baton, and finds herself wondering, What is the secret of the Kabuff?Blaire Squiscoll is a pseudonym used by Beth Driscoll and Claire Squire
Mutational studies of the cytochrome bc(1) complex of Rhodobacter sphaeroides
No full textThe cytochrome bc\sb1 complex is a multisubunit integral membrane protein. This enzyme is a central component in electron transport where it oxidizes quinol while forming a transmembrane proton gradient. The cytochrome b subunit is the locus of two distinct quinol binding sites as well as the heme groups. Despite the its importance, little is known about the bc\sb1 complex structure.The focus of this thesis is to identify the residues that comprise the quinol reductase (Q\sb{\rm i}) site in the photosynthetic bacteria Rhodobacter sphaeroides. These residues were identified by using site-directed mutagenesis and spectroscopic analysis. Since no crystal structure exists for the bc\sb1 complex, proposed mutations were based on sequence and inhibitor resistance data from other species. Initial results proved that the Q\sb{\rm i} site function could be perturbed by the mutants and that the change in electron flow can be monitored spectroscopically. Totally conserved residues along the cytoplasmic interface were found to be essential for Q\sb{\rm i} site structure. The only residues found in the cytoplasm that help define the Q\sb{\rm i} site are those that can form hydrogen bonds. From this information, a helical wheel model as well as a topological map of the cytochrome b subunit were created to visualize the putative Q\sb{\rm i} site domain. This represents the first experimentally-based model of the Q\sb{\rm i} site.Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T13:20:35Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 2

Session A9: Beyond Dams: Restoration of River Herring in Key Watersheds Along the Atlantic Coast of the USA
No full textPresenting Author Bio: Mari-Beth DeLucia is a Fisheries/Aquatic Ecologist with the The Nature Conservancy. She has over 15 years of professional conservation experience in freshwater, marine and migratory fish conservation and holds B.S. in Biology from Southern Connecticut State University and a M.S. in Natural Resource management from Central Washington University.Abstract: Dams have been, and still are, a major limiting factor in the restoration of anadromous river herring (alewife and blueback herring) in many river systems along the Atlantic Coast of the United States. In other areas, however, factors such as water quality, predation, and other types of habitat alteration may be a far greater threat to the restoration of these species than dams. An increase in impervious surfaces due to land conversion in the Chesapeake Bay and Puget Sound has been linked to decreased recruitment success in river herring and Pacific salmon, respectively. A prioritization of threats and restoration needs related to habitat for river herring was undertaken in a number of watersheds along the Atlantic Coast including the Chesapeake Bay, the Connecticut, Delaware, and Hudson rivers as well as the Santee-Cooper watershed. Recruitment declines from stormwater runoff, habitat loss and altered prey/predator regimes were common themes across the coast and may be limiting recovery overall. Developing strategies to address these threats will be critical to successful restoration of these species
