Changes in non-structural carbohydrates in olive (Olea europaea) leaves during root zone salinity stress
No full textSelf-rooted olive (Olea europaea L.) plants were grown in hydroponics at various NaCI concentrations (from 0 to 200 mM) for 28 to 32 days followed by 28 to 30 days of relief from salinity over two growing seasons. Olive leaves accumulated both glucose and mannitol during the period of salinity stress. The concentrations of fructose, myo-inositol, galactose, galactinol, sucrose, raffinose, and stachyose were not significantly affected by salinity. Starch content was decreased by salinity. The mannitol/glucose and mannitol/soluble carbohydrates ratios increased as the extent NaCI concentration was increased, but returned to the control levels during the relief period. The increase in mannitol or glucose molar concentrations, expressed on a leaf tissue water basis, was partially due to a reduction in leaf tissue water content under salinity stress. However, an increase in mannitol concentration was also observed when expressed on a dry weight basis. The accumulation of mannitol in leaf tissue preceded any reduction in leaf area rate or net assimilation rate. The increase in leaf mannitol or glucose concentration was positively correlated with the increasing level of salinity at the root zone, but not with the accumulation of Na+ in the shoot. The role of mannitol, a potential osmoregulator in leaf mesophyll during salinity stress, is discussed in relation to the complex carbohydrate composition of olive leaves

Insights into Improving the Energy Performance of Buildings Taken from UK Case Studies in the Domestic and Education Sectors
No full textBuildings are responsible for significant levels of energy consumption. The increasing pressure created by regulation and legislation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel consumption has led to building designers needing to radically improve the energy efficiency of buildings. The lack of information from past projects is often a barrier to the design of low energy buildings, as many organizations do not have a wide enough know how or available resource to create usable rich 'explicit knowledge' from the valuable concealed 'tacit knowledge' held within the organization. This paper describes how a new online design tool 'LESSONS' aimed at building practitioners is being developed to provide the user with easy access to both explicit and tacit knowledge gained from previous building design experience and the resulting design heuristics. The paper identifies opportunities to improve the energy performance of buildings through insights gained and lessons learnt from the content analysis of 100 case studies of completed buildings in the United Kingdom
Second-trimester maternal distress increases the risk of small for gestational age
No full textBackground - The effect of prenatal distress on the risk of a small for gestational age (SGA) infant is uncertain. We have addressed the influences of prenatal stress, anxiety and depression on the risk of SGA. We also examined the effects of infant sex and timing of distress during pregnancy on any observed associations.Method - The study population comprised 5606 healthy nulliparous pregnant women who participated in the international prospective Screening for Obstetric and Pregnancy Endpoints (SCOPE) study. Women completed the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), the short form of the Spielberger State–Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) at 15 ± 1 and 20 ± 1 weeks' gestation. SGA was defined as birthweight below the 10th customized percentile. Logistic regression was used for data analysis, adjusting for several potential confounders such as maternal age, body mass index (BMI), smoking, socio-economic status and physical exercise. Results - The risk of SGA was increased in relation to mild [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.35, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.07–1.71], moderate (aOR 1.26, 95% CI 1.06–1.49), high (aOR 1.45, 95% CI 1.08–1.95) and very high stress scores (aOR 1.56, 95% CI 1.03–2.37); very high anxiety score (aOR 1.45, 95% CI 1.13–1.86); and very high depression score (aOR 1.14, 95% CI 1.05–1.24) at 20 ± 1 weeks' gestation. Sensitivity analyses showed that very high anxiety and very high depression increases the risk of SGA in males but not in females whereas stress increases the risk of SGA in both males and females. Conclusions - These findings suggest that prenatal stress, anxiety and depression measured at 20 weeks' gestation increase the risk of SGA. The effects of maternal anxiety and depression on SGA were strongest in male infants.A. S. Khashana, C. Everard, L. M. E. McCowan, G. Dekker, R. Moss-Morris, P. N. Baker, L. Poston, J. J.
