Oral History Interview with William Starke, July 17, 2007
No full textThe National Museum of the Pacific War presents an interview with William Starke. Starke joined the Army Air Forces in March of 1942. He completed flight training and graduated at Williams Field, Arizona, in July of 1943 as a P-38 pilot. He provides details of his flight training and the various planes he flew. In November he traveled to Guadalcanal and joined the 44th Fighter Squadron, 13th Air Force. Starke served as a P-38 Lightning pilot and completed 121 missions throughout the Pacific, including Sansapor, Bougainville and Rabaul in Papua New Guinea, Borneo, Luzon and the Philippines. His squadron flew combat missions and escorted B-24 bombers. Starke provides vivid details of several missions and describes how they acquired the name “Vampire Squadron.” He was discharged in July of 1945. He remained in the Reserves for 20 years and retired as a lieutenant colonel

A Perspective on the Slow Vacuolar Channel in Vacuoles from Higher Plant Cells
No full textThe physiological role of the slow vacuolar (SV) channel in vacuoles from higher plant cells, was analyzed. The SV channel was found to be dependent on gating and voltage, permeable to both monovalent and to divalent cations, and displayed a main conductance which depended on potassium concentration. The functional properties of the channel suggested an implication in a calcium-induced calcium-released mechanism based on the channel's calcium dependent activation and calcium permeability. Another hypotheses that was made was the channel's involvement in the homeostasis of cytosolic potassium on the basis of its gating properties, and its involvement in the Na+ storage inside the vacuole
Data for: Assessing One-minute Diffuse Fraction Models Based on Worldwide Climate Features
No full textThe following files were built from minute-basis solar radiation measurements taken from the Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN) [1] and the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) [2]. Solar radiation data from a total of 52 stations across the world was acquired from these sources and then submitted to the quality check procedure described in [3]. Global clear sky irradiance was calculated for the qualified data points, using the simplified Solis model presented by [4]. This model requires inputs of aerosol optical depth (700 nm) data and water vapor column data, which were obtained from the CAMS database [5]. It is important to mention that AOD and water vapor column data were corrected for site altitude (see [3]), and the values contained in the files from this database are the altitude-corrected values, not the ones taken directly from the CAMS database.
The database also contains the estimates of diffuse fraction delivered by the proposed separation models: local adjusted model, model adjusted to simplified Köppen-Geiger classification, and model adjusted to the complete Köppen-Geiger classification. For a more detailed description of these models, see [3].
The file 01_stations_summary.xlsx lists all the stations whose data is available. This file contains information about the station’s location, altitude, time zone, the source of measured data for this station, as well as the climate classification of the location according to the Köppen-Geiger classification criteria [6].
The file 02_column_names_and_units.txt contains the names of the columns in the data files, as well as the units of the data in each column.
Finally, there are other 52 .h5 files in this data repository, each one containing data for one of the stations listed in 01_stations_summary.xlsx. These files are identified by the station code, present in the third column of 01_stations_summary.xlsx. A brief description of each of the columns in these files is presented in the table presented in the file 03_Data_description.docx

On the interaction of neomycin with the slow vacuolar channel of Arabidopsis thaliana
No full textThis study investigates the interaction of the aminoglycoside antibiotic neomycin with the slow vacuolar (SV) channel in vacuoles from Arabidopsis thaliana mesophyll cells. Patch-clamp experiments in the excised patch configuration revealed a complex pattern of neomycin effects on the channel: applied at concentrations in the submicromolar to millimolar range neomycin (a) blocked macroscopic SV currents in a voltage- and concentration-dependent manner, (b) slowed down activation and deactivation kinetics of the channel, and most interestingly, (c) at concentrations above 10 muM, neomycin shifted the SV activation threshold towards negative membrane potentials, causing a two-phasic activation at high concentrations. Single channel experiments showed that neomycin causes these macroscopic effects by combining a decrease of the single channel conductance with a concomitant increase of the channel's open probability. Our results clearly demonstrate that the SV channel can be activated at physiologically relevant tonoplast potentials in the presence of an organic effector molecule. We therefore propose the existence of a cellular equivalent regulating the activity of the SV channel in vivo
Modulation of plant ion channels by oxidizing and reducing agents
No full textIon channels are proteins forming hydrophilic pathways through the membranes of all living organisms. They play important roles in the electrogenic transport of ions and metabolites. Because of biophysical properties such as high selectivity for the permeant ion, high turnover rate, and modulation by physico-chemical parameters (e.g., membrane potential, calcium concentration), they are involved in several physiological processes in plant cells (e.g., maintenance of the turgor pressure, stomatal movements, and nutrient absorption by the roots). As plants cannot move, plant metabolism must be flexible and dynamic, to cope with environmental changes, to compete with other living species and to prevent pathogen invasion. An example of this flexibility and dynamic behavior is represented by their handling of the so-called reactive oxygen species, inevitable by-products of aerobic metabolism. Plants cope with these species on one side avoiding their toxic effects, on the other utilizing them as signalling molecules and as a means of defence against pathogens. In this review, we present the state-of-the-art of the modulation of plant ion channels by oxidizing and reducing agents
