Renu village : an ethnography of north Indian fiction
Full text linktextThe Hindi author Phanishwarnath Renu (1921-1977) is credited with initiating the “regional” literary genre in India—a form characterized in part by its use of village song and performance. Renu's work is unusual for the deep debt it owes to his village's performance community; he described himself as a product of folksong, and there are hundreds of textual examples of village song in his writing. Both the songs performed in Renu's village, and also those performed in his fiction, are products of sensibilities local to the folklore region of northeast Bihar. This dissertation draws on textual analysis and on fieldwork in Renu's village, Aurahi-Hingana, and uses a performative approach to explore this Hindi author's unusual station on the border of written and oral tradition.
Renu was no passive reproducer of song, but a performer himself, and for certain individuals in his village Renu was a singer first and writer second. Some illiterate village singers even claim him as one of their own. He had a direct hand in shaping the life of his community's folklore as a singer and teacher, and his influence is such that he has become a character within the twenty-first-century village performance repertory. If Renu was a performer, then there is something to be gained from considering his writing as a performance category. The songs in his writing inhabit space, geography, and history—they are worldly—in the same way that live performances of village song inhabit the world. This dissertation proposes a contrapuntal method of reading both fiction and performance that demonstrates the multi-layered complexity of one of Hindi's much-loved authors, and affirms the many layers, the complexity, and the importance of the song tradition to which that author belonged.Asian Studie
Microbiological Investigations of ReNu Plastic Bottles and the 2004 to 2006 ReNu With MoistureLoc-Related Worldwide Fusarium Keratitis Event
No full textPurposes: The purposes of this study were to determine whether the contact lens solution RevitaLens Ocutec (containing the antimicrobial agents alexidine and polyquaternium-1) would inhibit Fusarium organisms when heated in ReNu plastic bottles; whether alexidine would inhibit Fusarium organisms when heated in non-ReNu plastic bottles; and whether an alexidine-neutralizing compound leaches from heated ReNu bottles. Methods: RevitaLens and an alexidine solution (0.00045%), previously stored in ReNu bottles at room temperature (RT) and 56°C, were incubated with 7 different Fusariumorganisms. The alexidine solution was similarly stored in seven non-ReNu plastic bottles and incubated with these same organisms. To determine if an alexidine-neutralizing compound might be leaching from heated ReNu bottles, phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was incubated at RT and 56°C in ReNu bottles, combined with alexidine, and then tested for anti-Fusariumcapability. Results: After being heated in ReNu bottles, RevitaLens retained its anti-Fusarium capability, whereas the alexidine solution did not. The alexidine solution heated in seven non-ReNu plastic bottles retained its anti-Fusarium capability. The alexidine solution retained its anti-Fusarium capability when incubated with a PBS solution that had been heated in ReNu bottles, indicating, microbiologically, that an alexidine-neutralizing compound did not leach from the heated ReNu bottle. Conclusions: Alexidine uniquely fails to inhibit Fusarium organisms when heated in a plastic ReNu bottle, but not in seven other plastic bottles, whereas the anti-Fusarium capability of RevitaLens (containing the antimicrobial agents alexidine and polyquaternium-1) is unaffected by heating in a ReNu bottle. There does not seem to be an alexidine-neutralizing compound leaching from heated ReNu bottles. An interaction between alexidine and its heated ReNu bottle may have been a critical factor in the worldwide ReNu with MoistureLoc-related Fusarium keratitis event of 2004 to 2006
<i>renU</i> encodes a Nudix hydrolase required for biofilm growth.
No full text<p>(<b>A</b>) Relative Nudix hydrolase activity of RenU on a substrate panel (left). Nucleoside diphosphate derivatives (NDPX) are preferred substrates compared to nucleoside triphosphates (NTP). A catalytically-inactive mutant of RenU (RenU<sup>DEAD</sup>) protein, in which 3 glutamate residues (E74, E77, and E78) in the Nudix box were mutated to alanines, exhibits no phosphatase activity towards the preferred substrates (right). (<b>B</b>) Kinetics studies of Nudix hydrolase activity of RenU on the three NDPXs as preferred substrates ADP-ribose, FAD, and NADH.

Wild type <i>M</i>. <i>smegmatis</i>, <i>Ms</i>Δ<i>renU</i>, and the mutant strains completed with wild type RenU or RenU<sup>DEAD</sup> were assayed for biofilm growth. Whereas <i>renU</i> fully restored biofilm growth to <i>Ms</i>Δ<i>renU</i>, <i>renUDEAD</i> failed to complement the mutant. Shown images are representatives of biological triplicates.

(<b>F</b>) Quantitation of biofilm growth of <i>Mtb</i> strains. The biofilm biomass was harvested and estimated by determining total protein per plate. Error bars represent standard deviation of biological triplicates. Statistical significances of differences were analyzed using Students <i>t</i>-test; ns, not significant difference.</p
