Regulatory Interactions Between Sulfate and Nitrate Assimilation
No full textSulfate and nitrate, which contain sulfur and nitrogen in their most highly oxidized form, are the dominant species available to many plants for covering their needs for these elements (Schiff 1983; Cram 1990; Oaks 1992). Assimilatory sulfate and nitrate reduction are therefore necessary for the synthesis of amino acids including sulfur containing amino acids like cysteine and methionine, in which both sulfur and nitrogen are present in reduced form. The dominant portion of the amino acids is used for protein synthesis. Therefore, the S/N ratio in plants is usually about 1/20 (Dijkshoorn & van Wijk 1967) reflecting the proportion of these elements in proteins. Only in species where sulfur is accumulated in the form of sulfate or of secondary plant products is the ratio significantly higher (Cram 1990; Ernst 1990). Plants appear to possess mechanisms to coordinate assimilatory sulfate and nitrate reduction so that the appropriate proportions of both sulfur containing and other amino acids are available for protein synthesis. This review focuses on these reciprocal regulatory mechanisms at the level of assimilation, hut the regulation of the uptake of NO3- and SO2 may be at least as important for coordinating both assimilatory pathways (Saccomani & Ferrari 1989; Cram 1990; Clarkson et al., this volume). Assimilatory nitrate (Solomonson & Barber 1990; Oaks 1992) and sulfate (Brunold 1990; Giovanelli 1990; Schmidt 1992) reduction have been reviewed very recently. Therefore, only aspects of both pathways are discussed here which form the basis for reviewing regulatory interactions between them

No full textObjectiveObjective: To estimate the prevalence of asthma in workers by occupation in Washington State. Methods: Data from the 2006\u20132009 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) and the BRFSS Asthma Call-Back Survey (ACBS) in Washington State (WA) were analyzed. Using state-added and coded Industry and Occupation questions, we calculated prevalence ratios (PRs) for 19 occupational groups. Results: Of the 41\u2009935 respondents who were currently employed during 2006\u20132009, the prevalence of current asthma was 8.1% [95% confidence interval (CI) 7.8\u20138.5%] When compared with the reference group of executive, administration and managerial occupations, three occupational groups had significantly (p\u2009<\u20090.05) higher PRs of current asthma: \u201cTeachers, all levels, and Counselors\u2019 (PR 1.3, 95% CI 1.1\u20131. 6%); \u2018Administrative Support, including Clerical\u201d (PR 1. 5, 95% CI 1.2\u20131.9%); and \u201cOther Health Services\u201d (PR 1.5, 95% CI 1.2\u20131.9). Half of the 2511 ACBS respondent workers (55.1%) indicated that they believed exposure at work had caused or worsened their asthma, but only 10.7% had ever spoken with a health care professional about their asthma being work related. Conclusions: Some occupations have a higher prevalence of current asthma than other occupations. The systematic collection of industry and occupation data can help identify worker populations with a high burden of asthma and can be used to target disease prevention efforts as well as to aid clinician recognition and treatment. Workers indicated that work-related asthma exposures are not discussed with their health care provider and this communication gap has implications for asthma management.20145U60 OH008487/OH/NIOSH CDC HHS/United States24995660PMC42660431154
Alpha-galactosidase and beta-mannoside mannohydrolase in tomato seeds (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. glamour and fruit (L. esculentum Mill. cv. Trust)
No full textMannans (possibly galacto- or galactogluco-mannans) are present in tomato endosperm cell walls. Three enzymes participate in the complete depolymerization of galactomannan: [alpha]-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.22), endo-[beta]-mannanase (EC 3.2.1.78), and [beta]-mannosidase (EC 3.2.1.25). The activity of each enzyme in tomato seeds has its own distinct program of regulation and no co-ordination of activity is seen. [alpha]-Galactosidase and [beta]-mannoside mannohydrolase activities are also present in tomato fruit pericarp and also show different patterns of activity. A cDNA encoding an [alpha]-galactosidase has been isolated from a germinated tomato seed cDNA library and shows significant homology with known dicotyledonous [alpha]-galactosidase cDNAs. [alpha]-Galactosidase gene expression is relatively constant throughout germination with a slight increase after germination. A southern hybridization analysis reveals that there is only one gene for [alpha]-galactosidase in the tomato (cv. Trust)

No full textBackgroundWe sought to describe heat-related illness (HRI) in agriculture and forestry workers in Washington State.MethodsDemographic and clinical Washington State Fund workers\ue2\u20ac\u2122 compensation agriculture and forestry HRI claims data (1995\ue2\u20ac\u201c2009) and Washington Agriculture Heat Rule citations (2009\ue2\u20ac\u201c2012) were accessed and described. Maximum daily temperature (Tmax) and Heat Index (HImax) were estimated by claim date and location using AgWeatherNet\ue2\u20ac\u2122s weather station network.ResultsThere were 84 Washington State Fund agriculture and forestry HRI claims and 60 Heat Rule citations during the study period. HRI claims and citations were most common in crop production and support subsectors. The mean Tmax (HImax) was 95\uc2\ub0F (99\uc2\ub0F) for outdoor HRI claims. Potential HRI risk factors and HRI-related injuries were documented for some claims.ConclusionsAgriculture and forestry HRI cases are characterized by potential work-related, environmental, and personal risk factors. Further work is needed to elucidate the relationship between heat exposure and occupational injuries.U54 OH007544/OH/NIOSH CDC HHS/United States2U54OH007544-11/OH/NIOSH CDC HHS/United States2017-08-18T00:00:00Z24953344PMC556223

Measurement of the Energy Asymmetry in Top Quark Pair plus Jet Production with the CMS Experiment
No full textThe measurement of the energy asymmetry in top quark pair production in association with one additional high- jet is presented, using 137.1 fb of data recorded with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV.
The presented measurement focuses on the semileptonic decay process of the top quark pair and requires a boosted event topology of the system.
Different types of clustered final-state particles are considered for the reconstruction, having the minimal common requirement of one charged electron or muon, missing transverse momentum due to the corresponding neutrino, and one hard jet in the central region of the detector.
The primary focus is to reconstruct events in the boosted regime using top tagged fat jets.
If this is not possible, an attempt is taken to reconstruct events in the resolved regime with slim jets under the employment of boosted decision trees.
In order to unfold the results, a reconstruction of simulated signal process events on particle level is performed either in the boosted regime, the resolved regime, or using parton information of the event.
The unfolding is performed with a maximum likelihood fit, splitting the signal process into different subcategories according to the event kinematic properties on particle level.
Both signal and background processes are obtained fully from simulation and the systematic uncertainties are considered as nuisance parameters in the fit.
This analysis is the first measurement of the energy asymmetry and yields an observed value of
\begin{align*}
A_{E, \text{unf.}}^{\text{opt}} = -3.0\,\% \;^{+4.0\,\%}_{-5.5\,\%} \,(\text{stat + syst})
\end{align*}
in a fiducial phase space. This result is in agreement with the corresponding SM expectation of
