Nobel Stains
No full textA century ago, Camillo Golgi and Santiago Santiago Ramón y Cajal were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine. Golgi (1873) devised a novel technique for staining nervous tissue; it consisted of hardening the preparation in potassium bichromate and then impregnating it with silver nitrate. The subsequent black reaction (reazione nera) exposed the networks of nerves in grey matter in a manner that had not been possible previously. By using this technique Santiago Ramón y Cajal carried out an extensive investigation of the structure of the nervous system laying down the foundation of modern neuroscience. This article explores the realtive contribution of the two great scientist to the progress of scientific knowledge in the turn between the 19th and 20th century
Interactive Workflows with WADE
No full textIn this paper we present the latest developments
of WADE (Workflows and Agents Development Environment) that
provide concrete support for a better realization of the innovative
paradigm of agent-based business process management. First, we
review the basic ideas behind such an innovative paradigm. Then,
we describe the new functionality that WADE offers to enable the
rapid and effective realization of user-centric business processes,
i.e., business processes that are tightly integrated with the work
of users and that are mainly driven by user interactions. Such
processes are met frequently in practice and WADE seamlessly
accommodates Web and Android users by means of dedicated
views. We conclude this paper with a brief overview of notable
mission-critical applications that are already using WADE and
its new features

Resilience of NJ Transit assets to climate impacts
No full textFirst Environment developed this report under the guidance of New Jersey Transit to determine the potential risks of weather related events and impacts on its stationary assets. This research includes a survey of current reports and research on the topic; identifies and maps specific impacts to New Jersey Transit assets - commuter rail, light rail and bus; compiles national and international agency efforts underway regarding Transit strategies to protect assets; determines appropriate resilience strategies for the impacts identified; provides a summary level costs and benefits for each of the resilience strategies identified; and summarizes and highlights cost effective strategies to maintain NJ TRANSIT current and planned future services. This report provides a regional overview and can be used to identify critical impacts on assets and take appropriate measures to reduce its vulnerability to extreme weather
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Molecular cloning and functional analyses of glutathione peroxidase homologous genes from Chlorella sp NJ-18
No full textPhotosynthetic organisms often encounter oxidative stresses due to changes of environmental conditions. In this study, two glutathione peroxidase (GPX) homologous genes, namely NJ-18Gpx1 and NJ-18Gpx2, were identified in Chlorella sp. NJ-18, a single-celled green alga. The two NJ-18Gpx genes can produce 2 or 3 transcript variants by alternative splicing, predicted to encode 4 non-selenium GPX proteins (NS-GPX). Expression of the two genes was analyzed by quantitative RT-PCR in Chlorella sp. NJ-18 exposed to various treatments known to generate reactive oxygen species. Neutral red, a singlet oxygen-generating photosensitizer, significantly increased the expression of NJ-18Gpx1 within 5 h. Exposure of algal culture to UV-B for 3 h caused up-regulation of mRNA levels of NJ-18Gpx1 and NJ-18Gpx2 by 4- and 50-folds, respectively. Similar to CrGPX5 and CrGPX3 in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, purified recombinant NJ-18GPXs showed activities of thioredoxin-dependent peroxidases that catalyze the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides. The V-max values for NJ-18GPX1 toward different peroxides were approximately 10-fold higher than those for NJ-18GPX2. In addition, overexpression of NJ-18Gpx1 in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, a cyanobacterium, enhanced its tolerance to neutral red and H2O2. These results indicate that NJ-18GPXs can act as efficient peroxide scavengers protecting cells from oxidative damages in Chlorella. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.
