Natural Variation of the Circadian Clock in Neurospora
No full textMost living organisms on earth experience daily and expected changes from the rotation of the earth. For an organism, the ability to predict and prepare for incoming stresses or resources is a very important skill for survival. This cellular process of measuring daily time of the day is collectively called the circadian clock. Because of its fundamental role in survival in nature, there is a great interest in studying the natural variation of the circadian clock. However, characterizing the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying natural variation of circadian clocks remains a challenging task. In this chapter, we will summarize the progress in studying natural variation of the circadian clock in the successful eukaryotic model Neurospora, which led to discovering many design principles of the molecular mechanisms of the eukaryotic circadian clock. Despite the success of the system in revealing the molecular mechanisms of the circadian clock, Neurospora has not been utilized to extensively study natural variation. We will review the challenges that hindered the natural variation studies in Neurospora, and how they were overcome. We will also review the advantages of Neurospora for natural variation studies. Since Neurospora is the model fungal species for circadian study, it represents over 5 million species of fungi on earth. These fungi play important roles in ecosystems on earth, and as such Neurospora could serve as an important model for understanding the ecological role of natural variation in fungal circadian clocks.Advances in Genetics, Vol. 99
Herida de bala de aorta
No full textThe author presents the case of a 16-year old girl with a bullet wound in the abdominal aorta, operated under shock with two perfusions of rapid onset. Linen suture was performed and recuperation followed without sequella. This seems to be the first case published in Uruguay of survival of aortic wounds.Se relata una observación de herida de bala de aorta abdominal en una joven de 16 años, operada en colapso con dos venoclisis instaladas rápidamente. Se hizo sutura con lino obteniendo recuperación sin secuelas. Parece tratarse de la primera observación publicada en el país de heridade aorta con sobrevida
Dynamics of Network Formation Processes in the Co-Author Model
No full textThis article studies the dynamics in the formation processes of a mutual consent network in game theory setting: the Co-Author Model. In this article, a limited observation is applied and analytical results are derived. Then, 2 parameters are varied: the number of individuals in the network and the initial probability of the links in the network in its initial state. A simulation result shows a finding that is consistent with an analytical result for a state of equilibrium while it also shows different possible equilibria.Dynamics, Network, Game Theory, Model,Simulation, Equilibrium, Complexity
Background data for: A chained metonymic approach to ίdὸ ‘eye’ constructional metonymies in Hausa
No full textHausa has the largest population of speakers in the Chadic language family and is spoken in the West African sub-region as a first language, particularly in Nigeria, Niger, Benin, Chad, Togo, and Ghana (Caron 2013). It is spoken by millions of non-Hausas as a second language (Inuwa 2017). Hausa is one of the three dominant languages spoken in Nigeria as a national language, and it is predominantly spoken in the northern Nigerian states (Newman 2000; Crysmann 2010). To the best of our knowledge, there is no reliable existing body of Hausa information or a massive electronic collection of Hausa text, which linguists can consult for research. This dataset is an attempt to contribute to the development of a robust body of information and/or a comprehensive electronic collection of Hausa texts, thereby enhancing the reliability of Hausa linguistic research.
This dataset was basically sourced through researchers' native-speaker intuition, observations, and unstructured interviews. This dataset, originally compiled as preparation for the related publication, contains 332 eye-related expressions on different topics related to the typical Hausa people's lifestyle, e.g., related to culture, religion, politics, education, and health. The datafile contains a totality of about 6444 words, all glossed in English.Abstract of related publication:
Unlike previous studies which generally seem to focus more on Hausa metaphorical expressions, this study investigates a wide range of uses of ίdὸ ‘eye’ in its constructional metonymy patterns in the language by exploring corpus data that contain over 300 eye-related expressions. We observe that some constructional metonymies maintain a set of fixed words and syntax in activating conceptual shifts and producing eye metonymies while others have semi-fixed patterns and produce the same metonymies. Lexical items like tsόkάlế, kὰn, ὰ, dὰ, and bὰsίrὰ among others are constant constituents in the constructional metonymies in which they appear. In the metonymic chaining, the basic mapping of eye metonymies occurs via the PART FOR PART relation under E-metonymies and the SUB- FOR SUPERCATEGORY relation under C-metonymies. We also observe that E→E→C coding has the highest chained metonymic structure in the creation of the eye metonymies. Both attributive and predicative colligates motivate metonymic senses in the language. Finally, our analysis reveals that the eye is metonymically conceptualized and semantically extended to various target domains and produces metonymic conceptualizations that make the eye stand for vision, desire, envy, control, attention, perception, person, meeting, brain, intelligence, and so on
Solar powered charge stations for electric vehicles
No full textEvery hour, the sun emits more energy onto the Earth’s surface than our entire world population uses in one year. [1] Solar power provides us with the possibility of a cleaner and more renewable future. Global climate change as a result of greenhouse gases and the effects of low air quality caused by pollutants have become very substantial issues in our world today. The costs associated with greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions, and the effect they have on human lives and human health, are major and growing concerns. The development and installation of solar powered charging stations will reduce the amount of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere, future costs associated with climate change, and health issues. Thus, there is environmental, social, and economic value associated with the installation of solar powered charge stations. Solar powered charging stations have the potential of significantly reducing air pollutants and improving urban air quality. The electrification of transportation and the use of solar powered charging stations as an electricity source will improve people’s quality of life

Improving Agricultural Irrigation on the Balkhab River, Afghanistan
No full textIn Afghanistan, where 80% of the population is rural, irrigated agriculture is important for satisfying subsistence needs. While most of the irrigated agriculture is fed by diversion canal systems which tap surface flows, legal and physical water infrastructure in the region is generally poor. A math programming model is used to optimize irrigation strategies under different water-availability and policy scenarios. It is found that the construction of a reservoir could increase net revenues to a representative farming community by up to 30%. However, even greater benefits may result from increasing distribution efficiencies, depending on the initial level of conveyance losses. Further, property rights schemes may be implemented to distribute wealth more evenly through various zones at minimal cost to the agricultural community as a whole. These results may prove useful to policymakers or water authorities in reestablishing water rights.linear programming, irrigation, Afghanistan, Agricultural and Food Policy, Community/Rural/Urban Development, International Development,
