The role of Plasmodium falciparum var genes in malaria in pregnancy
No full textSequestration of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes in the placenta is responsible for many of the harmful effects of malaria during pregnancy. Sequestration occurs as a result of parasite adhesion molecules expressed on the surface of infected erythrocytes binding to host receptors in the placenta such as chondroitin sulphate A (CSA). Identification of the parasite ligand(s) responsible for placental adhesion could lead to the development of a vaccine to induce antibodies to prevent placental sequestration. Such a vaccine would reduce the maternal anaemia and infant deaths that are associated with malaria in pregnancy. Current research indicates that the parasite ligands mediating placental adhesion may be members of the P. falciparum variant surface antigen family PfEMP1, encoded by var genes. Two relatively well-conserved subfamilies of var genes have been implicated in placental adhesion, however, their role remains controversial. This review examines the evidence for and against the involvement of var genes in placental adhesion, and considers whether the most appropriate vaccine candidates have yet been identified
A modified rowe cell with bender elements for small strain shear modulus measurements
No full textThis is the accepted version of an article published in Geotechnical testing journal, Copyright 2024, ASTM International, West Conshohocken, PA, DOI: 10.1520/GTJ20230329, 985-1005, go.astm.org/pubs.The small strain shear modulus (G0) is an important characteristic of geomaterials. Its laboratory measurements are very frequently based on bender element transducers installed in different geotechnical apparatuses. Despite their widespread use, there is room to improve the precision, reproducibility, and robustness of bender element measurements, which are currently hampered by an oversimplified interpretation model of the test. Aspects such as transducer directivity, apparatus-induced size effects, and boundary reflectivity are poorly understood and accounted for. This work presents a novel modified Rowe cell apparatus specifically designed to obtain experimental data relevant to those features. The modified Rowe cell uses transmitter and receiver bender elements on the same boundary of the sample, performing dynamic measurements in echo mode with variable initial specimen size. Additionally, the modified Rowe cell endorses the flexible installation of the receivers and enables the use of multiple receivers, with distinct orientations. Furthermore, the modified Rowe cell gives the option of using different boundary conditions at the reflecting end to test the dynamic properties of usual geotechnical testing apparatus interfaces such as (semi-) rigid enclosures and flexible membranes. A systematic reliability study of the bender element measurements on the modified Rowe cell is presented, along with some illustrative examples of the capabilities of the apparatus.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft
Influences without footnotes: Sibyl Moholy-Nagy and Colin Rowe
No full textColin Rowe es considerado como uno de los pensadores más relevantes en el campo arquitectónico desde la década de los 60. Su complejo andamiaje teórico muestra a una persona capaz de reconciliar críticamente gran variedad de las corrientes y discursos de su época, de ahí la riqueza y complejidad de sus textos. En el caso de Collage City, su propuesta se enmarca en un periodo crítico en relación a las doctrinas urbanas resultantes del pensamiento adscrito a la arquitectura moderna. La publicación se deriva del trabajo realizado en el Urban Design Program, dirigido por Rowe, en la Universidad de Cornell a partir de 1965. La teoría perceptiva de la Gestalt, la crítica estructuralista de Claude Levi-Strauss, la utopía política de Judith Shklaar o el método antihistoricista de Karl Popper, se puede rastrear de manera más o menos directa entre sus fuentes. Recientemente, la publicación de the letter of Colin Rowe: !ve decades o correpondence (2016), editada por Daniel Naegele, nos permite adentrarnos en la intrahistoria más privada del profesor. Entre toda esta correspondencia infraestructural, una mención en particular abre un nuevo camino de interpretación de la obra. Matrix of Man (1968) un libro dedicado a la historia urbana, escrito por la historiadora Sibyl Moholy-Nagy, parece haber sido uno de los libros guía que Rowe consultaba durante el proceso editorial de Collage City. Sin embargo, no existe ninguna mención de esta publicación en la obra de Fred Koetter y Colin Rowe. Este artículo intentará analizar hasta qué punto el libro de Sibyl Moholy-Nagy pudo in!uir en Colin Rowe, proponiendo nuevas aristas de interpretación de Collage City.Postprint (published version
Erythrocyte complement receptor 1 (CR1) expression level is not associated with polymorphisms in the promoter or 3' untranslated regions of the CR1 gene
No full textComplement receptor 1 (CR1) expression level on erythrocytes is genetically determined and is associated with high (H) and low (L) expression alleles identified by a HindIII restriction fragment-length polymorphism (RFLP) in intron 27 of the CR1 gene. The L allele confers protection against severe malaria in Papua New Guinea, probably because erythrocytes with low CR1 expression, are less able to form pathogenic rosettes with Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes. Despite the biological importance of erythrocyte CR1, the genetic mutation controlling CR1 expression level remains unknown. We investigated the possibility that mutations in the upstream or 3' untranslated regions of the CR1 gene could control erythrocyte CR1 level. We identified several novel polymorphisms; however, the mutations did not segregate with erythrocyte CR1 expression level or the H and L alleles. Therefore, high and low erythrocyte CR1 levels cannot be explained by polymorphisms in transcriptional control elements in the upstream or 3' untranslated regions of the CR1 gene
Rynkatorpa Rowe and Pawson 1967
No full textGenus <i>Rynkatorpa</i> Rowe and Pawson, 1967 <p> <b>Diagnosis</b>: Anchor plates more or less irregular in outline, tending to be rectangular, with small number of perforations (25–50), of which two near center line are usually conspicuously larger than the rest; perforations with smooth to spinous margins. One to three Polian vesicles. (After Rowe and Pawson, 1967).</p> <p> <b>Type Species</b>: <i>Rynkatorpa hickmani</i> Rowe and Pawson, 1967</p> <p> <b>Remarks:</b> Rowe and Pawson (1967) listed eight Indo­Pacific species in this genus. Since 1967, three further Indo­Pacific species have been described: <i>R. pawsoni</i> (Martin, 1969a, 1969b), <i>R. gibbsi</i> (Rowe, 1977), and <i>R. coriolisi</i> (Smirnov, 1997). Of the 11 species now known in the genus, four, <i>hickmani</i> Rowe & Pawson, <i>bisperforatus</i> (Clark), <i>gibbsi</i> Rowe, and <i>uncinata</i> (Hutton) are essentially shallow­water forms, known from less than 100 meters depth. The other seven species, <i>bicornis</i> (Sluiter), <i>sluiteri</i> (Fisher), <i>timida</i> (Koehler & Vaney), <i>challengeri</i> (Théel), <i>coriolisi</i> Smirnov, <i>pawsoni</i> Martin, and <i>duodactyla</i> (Clark) are bathyal forms, ranging in depth from 252 to 1,920 meters. It is indeed surprising to find this genus in the Atlantic. Its nearest congeneric neighbors are <i>R. pawsoni</i> and <i>R. duodactyla</i> (Clark); both occur off the west coast of North America, and both differ from <i>R. felderi</i> new species in possessing just one pair of terminal tentacle digits.</p>Published as part of <i>Pawson, David L. & Vance, Doris J., 2005, Rynkatorpa felderi, new species, from a bathyal hydrocarbon seep in the northern Gulf of Mexico (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea: Apodida), pp. 15-20 in Zootaxa 1050</i> on page 16, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/169978">10.5281/zenodo.169978</a>
Editors and Actors: Rowe
No full textHaving chosen the topic of ‘actors and editors’ for the BSECS conference in January, I have started work on the voluminous editions of Shakespeare produced throughout the eighteenth century, looking for how the editors respond to the world of the stage. I’ve done some of this already, as exploratory reading for one chapter of the thesis, but this is the first time I’ve really attacked the editors. Nicholas Rowe, date unknown. I started with Nicholas Rowe (1674-1718), a mediocre dramatist who..
