USP tropical maize hybrid panel
No full text906 maize single-crosses obtained from a full dial- lel, according to Griffing’s method 4, divided into two heterotic groups, flint and dent, with 34 and 15 lines, respec- tively. Moreover, each heterotic group has a representative line, frequently used as the tester in our breeding program.
The experimental scheme used to evaluate the hybrids was an augmented block design (unreplicated trial) consisted of small blocks, each with 16 unique hybrids and two checks. Trials were carried out in Anhembi (22°50′51′′S, 48°01′06′′W, 466 m) and Piracicaba, at São Paulo State, Brazil (22°42′23′′S, 47°38′14′′W, 535 m), during the second growing season of 2016 and 2017, cultivated between January to June. In both sites and years, the hybrids were evaluated under two nitrogen (N) levels, low (LN) with 30 kg N ha−1, and normal (NN) with 100 kg N ha−1.
The genotyping of the 49 tropical inbred lines was per- formed by Affymetrix® platform, containing about 614,000 SNPs (Unterseer et al. 2014). Then, markers with low call rate (< 95%), minor allele frequency (MAF < 0.05) and heterozygous loci on at least one individual were removed. The missing markers were imputed using the snpReady R package. Finally, the resulting 146,365 SNPs high-quality polymorphic SNPs were used to build the artificial hybrids genomic matrix, deduced by combining the genotypes from its two parents

Early Black Feminist SF and Future Fiction
No full textThe chapter reevaluates the tradition of radical challenges to race and gender oppression advanced by 19th- and early 20th-century African American feminist sci-fi and future fiction writers like Frances E. W. Harper, Pauline E. Hopkins, and Lillian B. Horace. The formal and thematic continuities that emerge from their works offer interpretive tools that enable compelling practices of re-reading their insurgent force and recovering the 19th- and early 20th-century roots of contemporary Afrofuturism

Slc11a1 limits intracellular growth of Salmonella enterica sv. Typhimurium by promoting macrophage immune effector functions and impairing bacterial iron acquisition
No full textThe natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 1, Slc11a1, is a phagolysosomal transporter for protons and divalent ions including iron that confers host protection against diverse intracellular pathogens including Salmonella. We investigated and compared the regulation of iron homeostasis and immune function in RAW264.7 murine phagocytes stably transfected with non-functional Slc11a1 and functional Slc11a1 controls in response to an infection with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. We report that macrophages lacking functional Slc11a1 displayed an increased expression of transferrin receptor 1, resulting in enhanced acquisition of transferrin-bound iron. In contrast, cellular iron release mediated via ferroportin 1 was significantly lower in Salmonella-infected Slc11a1-negative macrophages in comparison with phagocytes bearing Slc11a1. Lack of Slc11a1 led to intracellular persistence of S.?enterica serovar Typhimurium within macrophages, which was paralleled by a reduced formation of nitric oxide, tumour necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-6 in Slc11a1-negative macrophages following Salmonella infection, whereas interleukin-10 production was increased. Moreover, Slc11a1-negative phagocytes exhibited higher cellular iron content, resulting in increased iron acquisition by intracellular Salmonella. Our observations indicate a bifunctional role for Slc11a1 within phagocytes. Slc11a restricts iron availability, which first augments pro-inflammatory macrophage effector functions and second concomitantly limits microbial iron access. <br/

No full textShown are the two lead variants with genome-wide significant joint-effects on late AMD (PAgejoint −8) for the two loci that were not detected in the previous genome-wide screen by Fritsche et al [13].

Ein strukturiertes Interview zur Erfassung von Phantom- und Stumpfphänomenen nach Amputation [A structured interview for the assessment of phantom and stump pheneomena subsequent to amputation]
No full textResearch question. A structured German-language interview was developed for the assessment of painful and non-painful phantom and stump phenomena after amputation. The aim was a thorough assessment of the quality, quantity and time course of these phenomena, which is of scientific as well as therapeutic relevance.Methods. Each phenomenon was assessed using visual analogue scales as well as qualitative descriptors adapted from the McGill Pain Inventory and from literature reports. The factor structure and psychometric properties of the interview were evaluated in a sample of 139 upper and lower limb amputees. Test-retest coefficients were obtained in a subset of 20 amputees.Results. As expected, all pain-related scales showed a two-dimensional internal structure with the factors "affective pain" and "sensory pain". For the non-painful phantom sensations, three factors "general/kinesthetic phantom sensations", "phantom movements" and "paresthesias" were obtained, while for non-painful stump sensations only one general factor emerged. The internal consistency was high with respect to the pain-related scales and was still satisfying for the scales that cover nonpainful phantom and stump phenomena. All scales have sufficient validity. Test-retest coefficients suggest a satisfactory stability of all scales that assess present phenomena, while the stability of the retrospective scales is markedly lower and in some cases insufficient.Conclusions. The phantom and stump phenomena interview is a highly reliable and valid instrument to assess present perceptual phenomena after amputation. Only the included retrospective scales apparently show low stability scores over time. This raises the more general question of the validity of retrospective pain reports.ZusammenfassungEs wird ein strukturiertes Interview zur Erfassung der Qualität, Quantität und zeitlichen Entwicklung schmerzhafter und nichtschmerzhafter Phantom- und Stumpfphänomene nach Amputation vorgestellt. Das Interview wurde an einer Stichprobe von 139 einseitig arm- oder beinamputierten Patienten auf seine Faktorenstruktur, Reliabilität und Validität hin überprüft. Die Ergebnisse belegen die gute interne Konsistenz, Stabilität und Validität des Instrumentes bzgl. der aktuellen Schmerz- und Empfindungsangaben. Die retrospektive Erfassung von zeitlich zurückliegenden Phänomenen hat eine geringere Stabilität und zeigt die Problematik dieser retrospektiven Erhebungen auf. Insgesamt liegt damit ein verlässliches Instrument zur - auch behandlungsorientierten - Diagnostik amputationsbezogener Wahrnehmungsphänomene vor
